The emperor's plan: to rule the world

Chapter 123 Tit for Tat ([-])

Looking at the Suzaku King who had been silent for a long time, he frowned, sighed in his heart, and respectfully said to Her Majesty the Queen sitting on the Dragon Throne: "Your Majesty, if the Suzaku King Ling really belongs to His Majesty Suzaku, there is no need for him to be here at all." The man above the hall confessed, taking a step back and saying that if King Suzaku really had the intention of treason, and King Suzaku had a large fiefdom, he could completely break the ground and become king, but he did not do so. Instead, he chose to plead guilty to His Majesty after learning the news. Your Majesty, please be careful."

Zuo Xiang looked faintly: "The general is right, but the basis of all this is that the actions of King Suzaku have not been noticed, but I want to ask the prince, His Majesty appointed Quanzi as the magistrate of Cangzhou, but Quanzi has not yet arrived. Come on, I wonder if Suzaku King knows the reason?"

Feng Yu was speechless.

Chu Xuan kept his whereabouts a secret, Feng Yu really didn't know where he was going right now.

But it must have arrived in Cangzhou.

As for why he didn't go to the post immediately, Feng Yu could figure it out even with her eyes closed.

It must be because the situation in Cangzhou is not very good.

After all, this matter was his negligence, and the root cause was because of him. The root cause of this matter lies in the Suzaku Palace, Feng Yu really has no face to defend herself.

However, in the eyes of others, his silence was an acquiescence to the left minister's accusation, and the ministers of the DPRK and China looked at each other in blank dismay.

Some people firmly believe that King Suzaku will not do anything wrong, while some people think that hereditary kingship will inevitably increase the appetite of the four kings, and it is normal to have such a conspiracy.

There was a strange silence in the hall.

Everyone looked at Feng Yu, including Her Majesty the Empress.

Feng Yu knelt silently, lowered her head with her eyes closed, and said nothing, letting those scrutinizing eyes fall on her, without any reaction.

In this strange silence, Nianqin, Minister of Dali Temple, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the assassin's confession about His Majesty's assassination was sent by King Xuanwu. King Xuanwu is currently in Zhao Prison. Please tell Your Majesty how to deal with it."

Qin Shu looked up at the queen: "Your Majesty, how can you easily convict King Xuanwu based on the assassin's words? Even the trial in Dali Temple has to ask the criminal to confess at the end. Does Your Majesty have to ask King Xuanwu too?"

Yong Ning, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, retorted: "Killing the king is a serious crime to punish the nine clans. Your Highness thinks that King Xuanwu will plead guilty?"

Rong Qian glanced at him leisurely: "Then just use the assassin's words to convict King Xuanwu without interrogation?"

It was related to the four kings, and the ministers who were not high enough in the court had no chance to speak at all, so they could only shrink silently in the corner and watch the few respectful and prominent people fighting each other.

The well-informed people knew the current situation of King Xuanwu, Prime Minister Zuo couldn't help but look up at Her Majesty the Queen, wondering what she was thinking.

But Gu Qingyi's expression was always indifferent, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, quietly listening to their argument.

Feng Yu's body was trembling slightly, her face was pale and extremely weak.

Luo Ting knelt beside him and immediately sensed that something was wrong with him. They returned to the capital almost at the same time, but Feng Yu turned back to the Suzaku Palace halfway, and rushed over from the palace in a hurry. If you are injured, you should have a good rest and recharge your batteries.

But he didn't even have time to rest.

Luo Ting looked up at the Empress. Although she was a companion reading by His Majesty's side since childhood, Her Majesty has always had a temperament of not showing emotions when she was a child. He really couldn't see what was going on in her heart.

Luo Ting said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have been intercepted and killed many times on the way back to the capital under the order. It is obvious that someone has learned of the whereabouts of the ministers and set up an ambush in advance."
