King Yun's face trembled, and he was too lazy to respond to Lu Li's provocation.
After all, Mu Jing had already intervened to mediate. If he took action again, it would be a bit disrespectful.
"How unbecoming it is to do something in the main hall!" Mu Jing stared at Lu Li with a deep gaze: "Because you are still young and act impulsively, go back to Hongxiu and collect your salary for one year."
As soon as this statement came out, many people were surprised.
It wasn't because this punishment was too perfunctory, but because of Mu Jing's weird attitude.
He did not mention King Yun first, but instead taught Lu Li a lesson first, and even called King Yan 'Red Sleeve'. This tone of treating his own nephew made the ministers tremble with fear, and even the expressions of several princes were a bit strange.
Of course, this does not include King Cang.
Seeing that Mu Jing seemed to be conciliatory, King Cang suddenly said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, do you mean that you don't intend to pursue King Yan's fault?"
He was not afraid of Mu Jing, and even after Mu Jing showed his unfathomable strength, he still refused to give up.
And his current attitude is already a little bit sarcastic.
Since you, Mu Jing, want to make peace with Xini, I have to put the matter on the table.
Mu Jing said calmly: "Weren't Lu Li's words before enough to make King Cang wake up?"
He scanned the hall, and whenever his gaze landed, all the officials lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at him. "The life and death of a country is tied to a woman, and now she is used to kill her as a warning to others. If you have such an idea, you..."
"Don't you feel ashamed?"
Mu Jing's tone was very calm.
But when it fell into the ears of the ministers, it was no less than a thunder.
After a moment of silence, someone sighed: "My lord, you are guilty!"
His confession that broke the silence was like a pebble dropped into a calm lake, causing ripples immediately.
"I am also guilty!"
"I... am guilty."
The sound of confessions echoed in the hall. Mu Jing watched this scene quietly, but there was no emotion in his eyes, and he was extremely indifferent: "You are indeed guilty."
The ministers were silent and did not dare to speak.
"When the Jitian Demon Kingdom was stationing troops, you kept asking Gu to cede land to quell the war started by the Jitian Demon Kingdom."
"When the Jitian Demon Kingdom wants to marry King Yan again and blatantly humiliates Yu Gu and the Swallowing Heaven Holy Kingdom, you all can't wait to send King Yan away with your own hands and send her to the Jitian Demon Kingdom to avoid the war!"
"Now, the Jitian Demon Kingdom has declared war on the Holy Kingdom. If Lu Li hadn't captured the generals of the Demon Kingdom and obtained the marching plan, the border of the Holy Kingdom would have been trampled by the Demon Kingdom's cavalry. But you still want to deal with King Yan first to stabilize the situation. The military spirit of the Holy Kingdom?"
Mu Jing paused and said angrily: "If the Holy Kingdom's military spirit cannot tolerate even a woman whose realm has been ruined, what use is such a military spirit and such an army!"
"When someone knocks on your door, you don't even have the courage to fight back, so what's the use of trash like you?"
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
Seeing that Mu Jing was really angry, Lin Wangbei was the first to stand up.
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
All the ministers bowed together.
The five princes had different expressions, and even King Cang was speechless.
"Your Majesty, I would like to lead the Tianji Division to the border to participate in the battle." However, after a brief silence, the first prince to speak up was Prince Xuan, who had always been a bystander.
And King Xuan's words caused the expressions of everyone present to change drastically.
"King Xuan, isn't this against the rules?" King Yun glanced at King Xuan with a warning in his tone.
King Chu also frowned and said: "Tianji Division... doesn't have many people. Even if you take them all to the border, it won't be of much help to the war. If the entire army is wiped out, it will be a huge loss to the entire Holy Kingdom."
"Your Majesty, King Cang and King Yun are fighting each other today, but they just took a fancy to the Shenwei Division in the hands of King Yan. Rather than depriving the Shenwei Division of its authority and breaking the rules, it would be better for me to open up the situation, create a precedent for the Nine Palaces, and lead the Use your strength to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy!"
King Xuan ignored the advice of others.
And the meaning of these words is also very obvious.
Don’t you just take a fancy to the power that each government has? Instead of arguing with each other here and bullying a Yan Palace that is about to collapse, it is better for everyone to put their power into the open.
I volunteer to be the forerunner and rush to the battlefield with the power controlled by Xuanwang Palace. What else can you say
Sure enough, after King Xuan finished speaking, King Cang immediately retreated.
If Mu Jing continues to be forced to deal with King Yan at this time, it will not only target the Yan Palace and Mu Jing, but even several other princes will have objections to him.
What King Cang wants is the throne, not the power of Jiufu. This kind of thing belongs to each family's bottom line. If he blindly touches the bottom line, the other princes will all oppose him taking the stage. Even if he kills Mu Jing, he will only get an empty shell riddled with holes.
So King Cang wisely chose to shut up for the time being. Anyway, he had no real intention to bring down King Yan today.
This matter can be discussed slowly.
"King Xuan, have you thought about it?" Mu Jing pondered for a long time, stared at King Xuan and asked: "Tianji Division is not as good as Shenwei Division, but they are also elites of the Holy Kingdom, and the battlefield is changing rapidly. The power of a Tianji Division , I’m afraid it won’t have any effect.”
"I have already thought about what to say to Your Majesty."
King Xuan said lightly: "I had already had this idea before I rushed all the way to the imperial capital. However, although Jitian Demon Kingdom showed its ambitions at that time, it did not declare war on the Holy Kingdom. Now it seems that I did not have any idea at that time. If something goes wrong, the Demon Emperor Ji Tian wants to unify the ancient times and regain the power of the Demon Sect, so he will definitely take action against the Holy Kingdom of Devouring Heaven."
"No matter whether King Yan chooses to marry him or not, this war is inevitable."
After listening to King Xuan's words, Mu Jing sighed: "It seems that the Holy Kingdom of Swallowing Heaven is not completely rotten yet."
"Gu... that's right."
He patted the armrest and showed the majesty of an emperor, "Lin Wangbei."
"I'm here." Lin Wangbei responded immediately.
"You also heard what King Xuan said, so be prepared."
"I accept your order."
Lin Wangbei stood up straight and nodded to King Xuan.
King Xuan returned to his taciturn appearance, but showed a kind smile to Lin Wangbei.
"Land from."
At this moment, Mu Jing called out another name.
Lu Li, who was standing there and continuing to wander, thought he had nothing to do. When he heard Mu Jing calling his name, he subconsciously said, "Here he is, he's here."
This nondescript answer gave Mu Jing a headache, and he said helplessly: "Meet me in the study room later."
"ah?"
Lu Li was stunned.
However, Mu Jing had no intention of explaining to him. After calling a few more names and giving some instructions, he asked everyone to retreat.
But those who were left behind with Lu Li were actually King Yun and King An.
King An still had some reasons, but King Yun was left behind, and even he looked confused.
"Your Highnesses, please wait in the side hall."
Liang Yuan walked up to the two of them with a respectful attitude, then looked at Lu Li with a smile: "Master Lu, please come this way."
Although Lu Li had already visited the Imperial Study Room once, he still had to ask Liang Yuan to lead the way.
After leaving the main hall, Lu Li followed Liang Yuan, his mind filled with questions as to why the Holy Kingdom Emperor wanted to keep him.
Could it be that you were too arrogant before
Lu Li began to reflect on his previous behavior.
"It's okay. I basically followed the instructions. I didn't say anything or do anything."
Of course, except for the few words he said against King Yun and King Cang, and those were the only mistakes he had to make after being named by Mu Jing. During the remaining time, Lu Li thought that his performance was quite decent and he probably did not offend the Holy Kingdom Emperor.
"Master Lu, don't worry, it's a good thing." Liang Yuan noticed that Lu Li was thinking wildly and said with a smile.
