The king will never go to court

Chapter 170 Chapter 169: The court meeting

"In other words, the investigation of the capital is almost complete?" After listening to Mu Ziyue's report, Xie Wufeng tapped the stone table beside him with his right index finger, and nodded in satisfaction.

Since he wanted to quickly obtain the martial arts resources of the entire Qian Kingdom, he could not directly grab them now, so as not to trigger resistance from various sects and aristocratic families.

He needs to take one step after another, slowly eating away.Although I am anxious, I still need a detailed and careful plan.

"My lord, when do you think you will be preparing for the court meeting?" Mu Ziyue was excited, knowing that the lord had a purpose in not blocking the actions of the Blackwater Division.

This grand court meeting must be aimed at the one in the palace.Mu Ziyue himself did not expect that the South was still fighting, and the princes of Beizhou still supported His Majesty Qianhuang.

The young prince in front of him is about to attack the one in the palace.

"Tomorrow is worse than picking a day." Xie Wufeng also wanted to solve the trivial matters of Qian and Yan as soon as possible, and he was unwilling to waste his time here.

"As ordered, I will send an order to all officials tonight. The court meeting will be held tomorrow." Mu Ziyue respectfully bowed again and again, then slightly raised his head to look at Xie Wufeng at the stone table, and asked softly, "My lord, I don't know if there are any more "

"It's all right, you go down and get ready first." Xie Wufeng waved his hand, indicating that Mu Ziyue could step back.

In the early morning of the next day, at the court meeting, Emperor Qian, who had been dismissed for several days, still did not appear.

In the Tai Chi Hall, Mu Ziyue stood at the head of all the officials, full of vigor and vigor, wearing a brand-new red and purple official robe with a jade belt around his waist, and the four-clawed python pattern was specially embroidered on the sleeve robe.

Civil and military officials stood on both sides, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the First Prince led the army to march south, and only the Second Prince stood opposite Mu Ziyue.

Since Xie Wufeng returned to the capital, he directly moved into the former "Prince Li's" mansion, the second prince just closed the door and didn't see any visitors, and he didn't even dare to go to the palace to pay his respects to his "sick" father.

Last night when I received the residence report from the Zhengshitang, not only the second prince felt that something was wrong, but even many veteran officials were suspicious.

Ever since Emperor Gan quit the court, the residence report has not been issued again.However, when everyone opened the mansion newspaper, their eyes widened, "Hundreds of officials discussed the death of old Zaifu Zhang."

The six ministers, the officials of each department received this mansion report, and their hands trembled slightly.

"To go, or not to go?"

"If you go, there will be endless troubles. But if you don't go, will you become the next Zhang's residence?"

Everyone was in a dilemma. Mu Ziyue held a grand court meeting, and everyone understood the meaning behind it.

Without King Wu's consent, Mu Ziyue would definitely not hold the court meeting at this time.

There was complete silence in the Tai Chi Hall, even some ministers who hadn't had breakfast tried their best to endure it, making no sound, and tried their best to act as human puppets.

But the six ministers were very upset in their hearts, "Isn't it just relying on King Wu's power, what's so arrogant about it!"

The six white-haired ministers looked at Mu Ziyue who was standing in front of him. He was young and tall, with an arrogance from the inside out, watching the six people gnashing their teeth.

"Second prince, have you been feeling unwell recently?" Seeing the second prince's sallow complexion and thin body, Hubu Shangshu standing behind Mu Ziyue looked disappointed and asked lightly.

The eldest prince and the crown prince were fighting on the front line, and their household department could receive documents from the front line every day, but the prince who stayed in the capital was scared by his third brother and dared not go out.

In the past, the high-spirited little overlord of Kyoto can only pretend to be deaf and dumb like their aging veterans.

The second prince turned his head in astonishment, looked at the hunched Hubu Shangshu, and his teeth were itchy with anger, "You old fellow, is it easy for me to live? There is the father on the top, and the crown prince and the eldest prince in front. Now the third child is following behind me."

"I just want to live a good life now. You old guy, are you really looking for something to smoke? I really can't help it. I don't want to come to this grand court at all. But don't come, I'm worried that the third child will hold grudges, come on, I am also worried that my father will hold grudges."

Although his heart turned back and forth, he cursed the bad old man Shangshu Hubu thousands of times, but there was still a warm smile on his face, and he said calmly, "Recently, I have been worrying about my brothers, so I have lost weight."

These words were answered perfectly. The two elder brothers fought bloody battles on the front line. As younger brothers, it is not an exaggeration to grieve.

Hearing the second prince's answer, Hubu Shangshu was stunned on the spot, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

He could only cough twice, and then stood up again, with his eyes closed tightly, and his ears turned off what was going on in the palace.

After seeing the Hubu Shangshu's question, he pretended to be a puppet again, the second prince's eyelids twitched, and the anger kept accumulating in his chest, and he wanted to beat this old guy up.

"I don't know that Mu Zaifu called everyone today, but the real culprit was caught?" The second prince was very angry and directly detonated the bomb.

"The Second Highness was joking. Mr. Mu is just a prime minister, and he can't solve cases or arrest people. Naturally, the affairs of Zhang's mansion are in charge of the government office in Kyoto."

The second prince's expression eased a little, and he turned his head to scan the crowd in the hall, but he didn't see the prefect of Kyoto.

"Your Highness is looking for the Governor of Kyoto?" Mu Ziyue turned around, facing the empty dragon chair with his back, and facing the court full of officials. "No rush, people from Kyoto Prefecture will be here soon."

Today's Tai Chi Hall is different from the past. All the forbidden troops guarding here have been removed. Apart from the whole hall, there is no one else, not even a palace eunuch.

"Bring people up first!" Mu Ziyue said loudly.

Everyone turned their eyes to the main entrance of the Taiji Hall, and two officials from the Kyoto government dragged a man with blood and flesh to the main hall.

Seeing the person coming, everyone was stunned.

"Zhang Baiming!"

Several officials in scarlet and purple robes exclaimed.

These people are all officials who often come and go to Zhang Lao Zaifu's mansion, so they have naturally seen this person.Some of them were shocked that the man was still alive.

"Mu Zaifu, what's the meaning of this?" The servant of the Ministry of Rites covered his nose and asked with a frown when he smelled an extremely unpleasant smell.

"This is Zhang Baiming from the old Zaifu Zhang's family. I believe many people should have seen it."

A young official from the Kyoto Prefecture came out from behind the two guards. Wearing a light green official robe, he cupped his hands at the court and said, "This person is from our Kyoto Prefecture."

"Wait a minute! Who are you?" An official in a scarlet and purple robe asked coldly, "Where is the Governor of Kyoto?"

"Your official, the Prime Minister of the Kyoto Prefecture, Lu He." Lu He, who was dressed in a light green official robe, was the young official of the Kyoto Prefecture who went to Zhang Lao Zaifu's mansion to investigate the scene of the crime.

"Where's your Fu Yin?" The voice of the questioning official became colder.

Lu He looked calm, and replied neither humble nor overbearing, "Master Fu Yin has been feeling unwell recently, and the subordinate officials have been investigating the murder of Zhang Lao Zaifu's entire family."

"We found this person in a private house in Kyoto, and there were four unidentified men in black with him. However, they all committed suicide by taking poison during the fierce fight."
