The best ring

"Your Majesty, no!" Hearing Yelu Zong's angry words, Yelu Tangzhi hurried forward and said: "Your Majesty, General Hong Qing did fail to fulfill his duty. It is not unjust for Your Majesty to punish him, but I think that General Hong Qing's crime is not punishable by death. The ones who should be held responsible for the death of His Royal Highness the Second Prince should be his personal guards. They failed to protect His Royal Highness the Second Prince. As for General Hong Qing, he led the army to take charge of all matters in the Mountain Tiger Camp. The Black Water Kingdom had a bad relationship with us some time ago, and His Royal Highness the Second Prince and his men went to the other side's territory. General Hong Qing will inevitably be distracted by the army. Therefore, I think that Your Majesty can punish General Hong Qing, but you should also give General Hong Qing a chance to make up for his mistakes."

In the hall, the other ministers chose to remain silent. They knew very well the position of Yelu Hongfei in Yelu Zong's heart. At this time, Yelu Zong must be furious. If they stood up at this time, they might be affected.

At this time, only Yelu Tangzhi, a minister with royal blood and trusted by Yelu Zong, dared to speak.

"Yelu Tangzhi! You actually spoke for that rubbish! Tell me, are you in the same group with him? Did you join forces to kill my Hongfei?!" Yelu Zong glared at Yelu Tangzhi, and there seemed to be flames in his eyes.

The hall became even quieter, and the ministers lowered their heads.

Facing Yelu Zong's anger, Yelu Tangzhi's expression did not change at all: "Your Majesty, you should be calm at this time. I know that the death of the Second Prince is a great blow to Your Majesty, but Your Majesty should put the country first. You can't mess up at this time. Your Majesty can't mess up, and the army can't mess up either."

Yelu Tangzhi's words were powerful, and Yelu Zong's heart slowly calmed down. After all, he was a strong man, a strong man who had experienced many big scenes. Although he was still extremely angry in his heart, it did not affect his calmness to think about the problem.

Yelu Tangzhi was right. You can't mess up at this time!

The relationship between Shuiyue, Tianji and Yanfeng is very delicate now. The war between the three countries is imminent. It is possible that they will join hands with Tianji to attack Yanfeng, or it is possible that Tianji will join hands with Yanfeng to attack them!

No matter which situation it is, it is very critical now.

Both Yelu Zong and Yelu Tangzhi have heard of Hong Qingyun. This person has a bad background, but he has good ability. The Mountain Tiger Camp he trained is the elite of their Shuiyue country. On the battlefield, Hong Qingyun is also quite calm and good at command. Yelu Zong is very optimistic about him. This is why Yelu Zong let Hong Qingyun follow Yelu Hongfei before.

Yelu Zong wanted to establish a connection between Yelu Hongfei and Hong Qingyun so that Hong Qingyun could support and assist Yelu Hongfei. This is a selfish desire of Yelu Zong. After all, he hopes that Yelu Hongfei will be the prince and inherit his position in the future. If Yelu Hongfei wants to take the throne, he must have a lot of support. Hong Qingyun is one of the candidates chosen by Yelu Zong.

Hong Qingyun's ability is self-evident as he is valued by Yelu Zong. If Yelu Zong beheads Hong Qingyun in anger, it will definitely cause a great stir in the army, especially in the Shanhu Battalion. There is a high possibility of unrest. At this sensitive moment, if an elite unit like the Shanhu Battalion is in turmoil, the consequences will be very serious.

Moreover, Hong Qingyun is still in Yangyu Pass. If Yelu Zong wants to recall him, Hong Qingyun may not come back. After all, if he is recalled at this time, Hong Qingyun can probably guess the reason. If Hong Qingyun does not come back, or even defected with the Shanhu Battalion, it will be a greater blow to their Shuiyue Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, the most important thing right now is to find the real murderer who killed His Royal Highness the Second Prince." Seeing that Yelu Zong slowly calmed down, Yelu Tangzhi continued: "There must be a mastermind behind this matter. If you don't find the mastermind, even if Your Majesty kills all the soldiers of the Mountain Tiger Camp, including Hong Qingyun, you can't avenge His Royal Highness the Second Prince."

"Yes, I must find out the murderer who killed Hongfei. No matter who he is, I must make him pay the price!" Yelu Zong said coldly.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Yelu Tangzhi bowed.

"Your Majesty is wise!" The other ministers in the hall also said one after another.

Yelu Zong looked at the people in the hall with a calm face, but the anger in his eyes did not disappear. He must find the murderer who killed Yelu Hongfei and avenge Yelu Hongfei!

After leaving the hall, Yelu Tangzhi did not go back to the mansion directly, but took a detour to the Donglin Palace.

"What? Yelu Tangzhi wants to see me?" Yelu Honglin in the garden was slightly stunned after hearing the report from the servants.

All along, both Yelu Honglin and Yelu Hongfei wanted to win the support of Yelu Tangzhi. They knew the status of Yelu Tangzhi in the heart of Yelu Zong and his influence in the court. If they could get his support, they would have a great advantage.

However, in the face of the constant goodwill of Yelu Honglin and Yelu Hongfei, Yelu Tangzhi always kept his distance. He did not have a close relationship with the two princes, but he was not alienated. With Yelu Tangzhi's transcendent status in Shuiyue Country, Yelu Honglin and Yelu Hongfei naturally would not have any opinions about him. What's more, Yelu Tangzhi did not favor the other side and did not exceed their bottom line.

And now, Yelu Tangzhi actually took the initiative to visit, which had never happened before. Yelu Honglin was naturally surprised, and after the surprise, he was overjoyed.

In Yelu Honglin's opinion, this was the first time that Yelu Tangzhi took the initiative to visit him, and it was at this special moment, which meant that Yelu Tangzhi wanted to join him.

Thinking about it carefully, this was not surprising. In Yelu Honglin's opinion, Yelu Tangzhi had remained neutral between him and Yelu Hongfei before, because he wanted to wait for the price and not stand in line in advance. Now that Yelu Hongfei was dead, Yelu Tangzhi had no choice. The throne of Shuiyue Kingdom would definitely be his in the future. Yelu Tangzhi would naturally come to visit him and show his goodwill to him.

After understanding this, Yelu Honglin no longer had the previous ecstasy in his heart. Instead, he was ready to play it safe. He had taken the initiative to show his goodwill before, but Yelu Tangzhi had refused many times. Now that Yelu Tangzhi came to visit him, he could not see him so easily.

Without Yelu Hongfei, Yelu Honglin felt that he was no longer a threat, and it was reasonable for him to play it safe a little.

"Tell Lord Tangzhi that I'm resting and ask him to wait for a moment." Yelu Honglin said to the eunuch who came to report.

"Yes, Your Highness." The eunuch responded and walked out.

After the eunuch left, Yelu Honglin closed his eyes again, enjoying the birdsong and flowers around him, but the smile on his face was obviously a little more intense than before.

However, the eunuch who had just left came back trotting soon.

"Your Highness."

"What's the matter? Is it that Yelu Tangzhi doesn't want to wait and asked you to urge me? This Yelu Tangzhi really thinks he is a big shot, hum." Yelu Honglin snorted with a little dissatisfaction.

"No, Your Highness, Lord Yelu Tangzhi asked me to pass a message to Your Highness." The eunuch said respectfully.
