The best ring

"You mean, I'm afraid of death?" Wu Xian's face was even more angry, and veins even bulged on his forehead.

"I dare not." Zhao Xingnian said with a bow.

"Don't dare? What else do you dare not!" Wu Xian said angrily: "Do you think I am willing to accept their terms? Do you think I am willing to sign that shameful document? I am doing this for our Nanping country!"

Wu Xian's voice became louder and louder, and the last sentence was almost a roar. His voice full of majesty and anger was echoing in the whole hall.

"Your Majesty, calm down!" The ministers in the hall knelt down one after another.

"Calm down? How can I calm down? I endured humiliation and burdens, but you people don't understand, and you are still here accusing me of being greedy for life and afraid of death, losing power and humiliating the country. How can I not be angry?!" Wu Xian said loudly.

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhao is not inconsiderate of you, Lord Zhao is just too concerned about the fate of the country."

"Your Majesty, please calm down. We have no intention of blaming you."

"Lord Zhao, why don't you apologize to your Majesty?"

Several officials who supported Wu Xian and were close to him before he ascended the throne spoke up at this time, helping Wu Xian to excuse himself and blaming Zhao Xingnian and others.

Wu Xian glared at Zhao Xingnian. He knew in his heart that there were many people in the court who did not support his ascension to the throne. Zhao Xingnian was one of them. Before he ascended the throne, when he was still the fourth prince of Nanping, he had tried to make friends with Zhao Xingnian, but Zhao Xingnian did not respond to his enthusiasm at all, and even deliberately kept a distance from him.

After Wu Xian ascended the throne, he naturally supported some people who supported him and dealt with some people who did not get along with him. He also wanted to deal with Zhao Xingnian, but Zhao Xingnian had been an official for many years and had a deep foundation. He had a deep network of people and influence in the court. It was not easy to move him, and Wu Xian could only take his time.

However, Wu Xian did not expect that Zhao Xingnian would accuse him openly and secretly in this hall today. This made Wu Xian angry, but he also saw an opportunity to deal with Zhao Xingnian.

"Since Lord Zhao wants to serve the country on the battlefield so much, then you should just quit your job as the Minister of Revenue and go to the army." Wu Xian looked at Zhao Xingnian and said.

"Your Majesty, think twice!"

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhao was just angry for a while, and he did not disrespect you at all."

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhao made an unintentional mistake and did not mean to contradict you."

As soon as Wu Xian finished speaking, several ministers stood up to plead for Zhao Xingnian and asked Wu Xian to withdraw his order.

Zhao Xingnian is a civil servant and he is old. If such a person goes to the battlefield, isn't this a disguised way of asking him to die? Those who respect Zhao Xingnian and are on good terms with him naturally don't want to see Zhao Xingnian go to die.

However, Wu Xian saw so many people speaking for Zhao Xingnian and felt Zhao Xingnian's influence in the court again. He was more determined to take this opportunity to get rid of Zhao Xingnian.

"Just now, Zhao Aiqing said that he was willing to fight to the death with Heishui Kingdom and Shuiyue Kingdom on the battlefield. Why don't you dare to go now?" Wu Xian ignored those who pleaded for Zhao Xingnian, but squeezed Zhao Xingnian with words.

However, as a king of a country, he actually squeezed a minister in this way, which really seemed petty. In the hearts of many ministers present, Wu Xian looked down on him even more.

"Why don't I dare?" Faced with Wu Xian's squeeze, Zhao Xingnian did not retreat or change his words.

"Good, very good!" Wu Xian said, "Pass on my order! Remove Zhao Xingnian from the post of Minister of Revenue, and appoint him General Guide, and report to the army immediately!"

"Your Majesty, think twice!"

"Your Majesty, please withdraw your order."

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhao made an unintentional mistake, please withdraw your order."

When the ministers saw that Wu Xian had actually removed Zhao Xingnian from the post of Minister of Revenue, they were all shocked and stood up again to plead for Zhao Xingnian. Even those who did not stand up to speak for Zhao Xingnian felt that Wu Xian's dismissal of a Minister of Revenue was really a bit ridiculous.

Or was it a revenge?

In fact, those who can achieve the position of those present are not too stupid. Many people can see that Wu Xian and Zhao Xingnian do not get along. Zhao Xingnian is not on the same line with Wu Xian, so he is naturally not liked by Wu Xian. However, Wu Xian is so intolerant of other people's opposition. This is not what a wise monarch does. Moreover, his revenge on Zhao Xingnian is too childish and obvious, and it does not seem like something a mature emperor would do.

Zhao Xingnian looked at those who pleaded for him, and then looked at Wu Xian, who was expressionless. He knew very well in his heart that the more people pleaded for him, the less likely he would continue to be the Minister of Revenue.

Wu Xian did not like him, and even feared him. Zhao Xingnian knew in his heart that if it were someone else, he might choose to join Wu Xian at this time, or keep a low profile. After all, Wu Xian was the emperor of their Nanping Kingdom.

But Zhao Xingnian did not choose to do so, but took the initiative to stand up. Perhaps, the moment he stood up, he thought of his current experience.

"I accept the order and thank you!" Zhao Xingnian also knelt down expressionlessly and accepted Wu Xian's order.

Wu Xian was very satisfied with this scene. He finally got this troublesome guy out of the court.

So, who should be dealt with next?

Wu Xian's eyes began to wander around the other people in the hall.

There were still many people in the hall who didn't like him, and he would get rid of all of them, leaving no one behind!

"Your Majesty, I have a doubt in my mind, and I hope that Your Majesty can help clear it up before leaving here." Zhao Xingnian straightened up and looked at Wu Xiandao.

"What doubts are there?" Wu Xian was in a good mood now and didn't mind talking to Zhao Xingnian more.

"There are rumors that the team from Shuiyue Kingdom that sneaked into the palace was let in by His Majesty. I wonder if this news is true or false?" Zhao Xingnian said word by word while looking at Zhao Xingnian.

Suddenly, needles could be heard in the entire hall, and many ministers were shocked that Zhao Xingnian actually asked such a question. Wasn't this indirectly saying that Wu Xian had killed other members of the royal family.

However, while they were frightened, they were also curious about what the news was about, and whether the entry of that team was really related to Wu Xian.

"That's nonsense!" Wu Xian slapped his dragon chair hard and glared at Zhao Xingnian: "That's nonsense! This is a slander against me! How could I do such a thing?! Those are all rumors, someone is here Defame me!”

Seeing Wu Xian who was losing his temper with anger, the faces of everyone present changed slightly, and everyone had their own thoughts in their hearts.
