Akasaka Sword Emperor

Chapter 19 The Ruthless Imperial Family Since Ancient Times

"Oh, Xue Aiqing, tell me, what's wrong with my reward?" Dongfang Long said coldly with his eyes narrowed.

Since ancient times, the king's heart has been unpredictable. Now General Dongfang's appreciation for Zhang Tianxing has reached a certain level. At this time, someone stands up to oppose it, which is no different from courting death.

"Brother Zhang, who is that person?" Wang Yong, who was a little confused, asked Zhang Kai beside him.

"His name is Xue Zhong, Minister of the Imperial Household Department. He has two sons and a daughter. The eldest son is Xue Yaoxiang, the youngest son is Xue Yaofei, and the second daughter Xue Xiaoxiao is also the current crown princess."

Before Zhang Kai opened his mouth to answer, Dongfang Qing'er, who was on the side, had already told the whole story.

"Oh, that's how it is! No wonder he dared to contradict the emperor." Wang Yong said clearly.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Tianxing was born poor and humble, but he was born as a beggar. Now that he has been appreciated by the Emperor and has been named a General, he has..."

"Presumptuous! Xue Zhong, is it possible that you can disobey my will because you are in the household department and have two sons who are in Jianzong?" Dongfang Long interrupted angrily.

"Chen, don't dare." Xue Zhong lowered his head in panic and replied.

"Don't dare! Hehe." General Dongfang Long couldn't help chuckling.

"Where are the palace guards, pull this traitor Xue Zhong out and behead him." General Dongfang Long roared suddenly with murderous intent.

"Father, you can't do it. Xue Shangshu has worked so hard and is loyal to the empire. You must not act arrogantly." At this time, the crown prince Dongfang Chenxu walked out of his seat and knelt down to plead for mercy.

"Huh! You bastard, if you are not the only one who does not want to take over my throne, how could it be your turn, let me go, all of you."

Dongfang Long pointed at the prince who was kneeling in front of him and cursed angrily, losing control of his emotions for a while.

At this time, Dongfang Chenxu, who was kneeling on the ground, had a murderous intent flash in his eyes, and retreated away pretending to be frightened.

Xue Zhong got up and glanced at Zhang Tianxing who was standing aside, snorted coldly, and left the palace with his sleeves thrown.

Jianzong's disciples are a little embarrassed standing in the palace now, they didn't expect that a good luncheon would turn out to be out of control.

Dongfang Weiyi walked to the center of the palace, and said apologetically, "Senior brothers and sisters, I'm really sorry for everyone, and I will apologize to everyone again tonight."

"Sixth prince, you are being polite. We are brothers in the same sect. Why do you mind so much? Besides, we can already eat bigu. It doesn't matter whether we eat or not for lunch." Among the disciples of Jianzong, someone replied with a smile.

"The only one would like to thank you all for your understanding." The only one in the east clasped his fists.

"You're welcome, then we'll take our leave first."

After all, the remaining dozens of disciples left the palace under the leadership of the palace guards.

"The ministers and others will leave." All the ministers also felt that there was something strange in today's incident, and they also withdrew.

A good lunch ended in such a hasty way.

Today, there are only Zhang Tianxing and five people left in the huge palace, and a few members of the Eastern royal family. General Dongfang Long sits on the main seat and strokes his forehead, as if he is asleep.

"Your Highness, do you feel it?" Lin Jianhao, who was always taciturn, asked Dongfang Qinger beside him.

"I don't know what Brother Lin is referring to?" Dongfang Qing'er asked doubtfully.

"Murderous aura! I feel a trace of murderous aura from the prince. Although he hides it very well, I am naturally very sensitive to murderous aura. As long as there is a hint of murderous aura leaked out, I can feel it." Lin Jianhao said affirmatively.

Following Lin Jianhao's words, the originally quiet palace let out a messy heartbeat.

The eyes of the princes standing opposite were shining with excitement. The prince dared to scold his father and show his murderous aura. It can be seen that his position as prince is in danger!

The only one in the east cast a cold glance at the princes standing beside him, and said in his heart: "It seems that there will be a bloody storm in the court of our empire!"

General Dongfang Long stood up from the main seat, looked at Zhang Tianxing at the side, and said, "General Zhang and Weiwei, follow me to the Herb Garden for a walk?"

After all, Dongfang Longjiang walked out of the palace, Zhang Tianxing and Dongfang Weiyi glanced at each other, and hurriedly followed.

After Dongfang Longjiang left, the royal disciples in the palace also left in a hurry. Obviously, their dead ambitions had once again revived.

"Senior Sister Li, you can rest at Qing'er's mansion for the next few days, and wait until Senior Brother Zhang's General's Mansion is completed." Dongfang Qing'er looked at Li Aoxue and said.

"Thank you Princess Qing'er for your kindness, no need, we are going back to Maple Leaf Town." Li Aoxue smiled.

"But I heard that my uncle and aunt, as well as General Aoyun, who was originally serving in the empire, were all taken to the sect by my senior sister's master, why did my senior sister go back?" Dongfang Qing'er wondered.

When Li Aoxue heard this, her delicate body froze, a strange color flashed across her face, she smiled and said, "Zhang Kai and I are going to go back together, and then take a good look at the place where we grew up, and we won't have many chances to see it in the future."

"Hehe, Zhang Kai is the senior brother Zhang Wanwan who was accepted as a disciple by Danwang Pavilion in the past, right?" Dongfang Qing'er looked at Zhang Kai and covered her mouth with a light smile.

"Princess Qing'er is right. Zhang Kai is Zhang Wanwan in the past. Didn't you know this at the head of the sect? I thought my old name was too domineering, so I changed it." Wang Yong said with a smirk on his face.

"You will die if you don't speak?" Zhang Kai said angrily.

"It won't die, but it will be very painful." Wang Yong said with a full face of grievance.

"Hahaha." Seeing Wang Yong's feigned aggrieved expression, everyone couldn't help laughing.

It's just that Li Aoxue's smile seemed a bit far-fetched, which made Lin Jianhao, who was drinking alone, feel a little confused.

The Baicao Garden is actually the back garden of the royal family, but there are more exotic flowers and plants in it, so it was renamed Baicao Garden.

At this time, Dongfang Long held his hands behind his back, looked up at the blue sky, sighed softly, and said, "Have you seen it? Under the calm appearance, what kind of torrents and undercurrents are there?"

The only Dongfang who was following behind said softly: "Father, so you have always known!"

"Do you think I am blind?" Dongfang Longjiang laughed at himself.

"I don't dare, my father, the ruthless emperor's family since ancient times, I hope my father will make a decision sooner." Dongfang Long said with a bow.

"Are you letting me wash the court with blood?" Dongfang Longjiang turned to look at Dongfang Weiyi, asking in a slightly shocked tone.

"Father, if you want the stability of the empire, you have to do something, and if you don't do something, the emperor is angry and the blood flows into rivers. This is the eternal rule. Your repeated kindness will only make those who harbor evil intentions even worse. Unscrupulous." The only one in the east said solemnly.

"General Zhang, what do you think? You also hope that I will cleanse the court with iron and blood?" General Dongfang Long looked at Zhang Tianxing who had been bowing his head in thought, and asked.

"I don't understand the affairs of the court, but now, as a subject, I follow the orders of the emperor." Zhang Tianxing bowed back.

"Hahaha." General Dongfang laughed heartily when he heard the sound, "General Zhang, in the eyes of those Jianzong disciples, I am just a mortal emperor. Why should you worry about anything? Even if you speak out, you are not afraid."

"I really don't understand the affairs of the court. From the time I started to practice, I have devoted myself to practice, and my heart has nothing to do with it. In fact, I don't care much about the royal power and wealth." Zhang Tianxing said.

Dongfang Long changed his face slightly and said: "Then why did you accept my reward?"

"Because I said that I was born in the empire and grew up in the empire, so I have the responsibility to protect it." Zhang Tianxing met Dongfang Dragon General's gaze.

"Hahaha, good! I believe in you." Dongfang Dragon General laughed.
