Chapter 153 Xianglong Kingdom Negotiating Peace

The atmosphere of the court meeting this morning seemed a little dignified. Even if the official position was low on weekdays, every time a small official came to walk through the scene, he also felt the strangeness in the court hall.

Emperor Xiao Tianci sat on the dragon chair, looking extremely majestic, but his face was a little ugly.

The things that happened one after another these days made him really not in a good mood.

Prime Minister Yan Jilong was killed, which was a good thing for him, so he chose to pretend to be deaf and mute and did not pursue this matter.

Otherwise, the dignified Prime Minister's Mansion was destroyed, how could he be indifferent as an emperor.

But after Yan Jilong died, he found that everything was not as simple as he thought, and a lot of political affairs were pressing down on him, making him a little breathless.

Then, a shocking battle broke out in front of Lingyun Commercial Bank. Houses within a radius of several kilometers were destroyed, and countless casualties occurred, but he was still unable to manage it.

The strength of the warring parties was too strong, and he could only choose to ignore it again, and he didn't even send anyone to investigate. This incident made him feel for the first time that the emperor did not seem to be so comfortable.

If these two things are within his acceptable range, then what happened in the past two days, he can't stand it.

The first thing is that all 20 generals of the forbidden army were killed within two days, and the second thing is that the border town of Broken Blade City was attacked by the enemy country.

"Shen Yun, I asked you to investigate the case of the murder of the General of the Imperial Army, is there any progress?" Xiao Tianci asked with a hint of anger in his voice.

Shen Yun, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, a senior officer of the fourth rank, in charge of prison cases in the court, is also the official responsible for investigating the murder of the Prohibited Army.

All the generals of the forbidden army were killed, and while Xiao Tianci was furious, there was also a hint of fear in his heart.

These generals were not only the five-rank generals of the imperial court, but also their cronies, but some people killed them in Luocheng without hesitation.

If it's just one or two, he can still understand, but this is a full twenty generals of the forbidden army!

He wouldn't believe even if he was killed, this matter was not aimed at him.

In the face of Xiao Tianci, who was a little out of control, Shen Yun was not afraid at all. He was a court official, but he was also a collateral child of the three major families of the Shen family. As long as he did not make a big mistake, Xiao Tianci would not dare to commit crimes easily. Own.

Shen Yun walked out of the crowd and bowed his hands to Xiao Tianci, who was sitting in a high position. The Assassin Guild announced the task of assassinating the generals of the Forbidden Army. The head of each General of the Forbidden Army was worth 50,000 Spirit Crystals. "

"What, someone actually announced the task of assassinating the court general in the Assassin Guild, who is so bold!"

"No matter who it is, the identity must not be simple. Each person has 50,000 spirit crystals, and 20 are 1 million spirit crystals. This is simply a sky-high price!"

"Yeah! I really can't think of anyone in Luocheng who has such a big hand to kill a few generals with so many spirit crystals. What kind of hatred is this!"

As soon as Shen Yun's words came out, the officials standing below began to whisper, but they were more shocked by the handwriting of the person who issued the task.

After listening to Shen Yun's words, Xiao Tianci's face became even more ugly. If what Shen Yun said was true, then there was really no way to investigate this matter.

The Assassin Guild had a special status, even the emperor would not dare to provoke them, let alone let them reveal the identity of the person who issued the mission.

This made Xiao Tianci feel a little embarrassed. How could this emperor be so embarrassed?

Shen Yun didn't care what Xiao Tianci was thinking, and after answering Xiao Tianci's question, he directly returned to the queue of courtiers.

Xiao Tianci, who was in a bad mood, was too lazy to deal with Shen Yun's rudeness, but thought about who should fill the vacancy of the generals of the forbidden army.

Seeing Xiao Tianci's appearance, the three Xiao Wuya brothers moved their minds, this is a perfect opportunity to arrange their own people in the forbidden army!

The three of them were about to speak, but someone rushed in front of them to speak.

"Your Majesty, I feel that this matter is not the most important for the time being. The most urgent task at the moment is to deal with the western border. Broken Blade City was attacked by Xianglong Kingdom. We must make complete preparations, otherwise we may be in trouble. Catastrophe!"

Although Zhai Linfeng, the new commander of the Kingdom's army and horses, knew that Xiao Tianci was in a bad mood, the situation at the border was too critical, so he could only stand up.

Sure enough, when he heard Zhai Linfeng's words, Xiao Tianci's face was about to turn gloomy.

He let out a long sigh of relief and eased the depression in his heart. A dazzling cold light swept over the ministers above the court and asked in a cold voice, "Li Jun, you are the minister of the Ministry of War, and there is a crisis in Broken Blade City, why is it? In the beginning, it was concealed and not reported, and why hasn't the Ministry of War dispatched troops to rescue it yet?"

This incident is another thing that makes him angry. Broken Blade City was attacked a month ago. At that time, he had just ascended the throne. This group of people actually deceived him, and no news reached his ears.

It wasn't until half a month ago that he completely stabilized the situation in the court, and the Ministry of War did not spread the news. At that time, he was greatly surprised.

He naturally knew the importance of Broken Blade City better than anyone else. He quickly asked the Ministry of War to draw up a rescue plan, but half a month later, the Ministry of War did not come up with any plan at all.

Li Jun hurriedly walked out of the courtiers and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, this minister has been wronged! It's not that Weichen lied and failed to report it! It was Yan Jilong's traitorous minister who was pressured by his official position and forcibly withheld the memorial of Weichen on the table. ."

Yes, the Minister of War directly put all the responsibility on Yan Jilong, who was already dead.

Xiao Tianci's face turned black with anger, and he roared angrily: "Come here, Li Jun, the minister of military affairs, has neglected his duties, put me in the Heavenly Prison and wait for disposal."

Li Jun's background is not very deep, so he was innocently used by Xiao Tianci as a punching bag.

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged!"

Li Jun wailed with snot and tears, but Xiao Tianci ignored him and let him drag him out.

After disposing of an official and playing a show of prestige, Xiao Tianci felt a lot better, and said to the officials below: "I wonder what good plan for you, Ai Qing, to retake Broken Blade City?"

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers in the court were silent, obviously not wanting to answer.

However, it’s okay for others not to answer. As Xiao Tianci’s close confidant, the current military marshal, Zhai Linfeng, can’t be silent.

He had no choice but to stand up again and said: "Your Majesty, I think that for the present, only seeking peace is the best policy!"

Since ancient times, seeking harmony has always been something that the weaker party can do, and it is usually a strategy often used by civil servants. However, today, the word “qiuhe” is spoken from the mouth of the dignified military marshal, which makes Xiao Tianci extremely disappointed.

Just as he was about to speak up, he didn't expect that all the ministers in the court suddenly spoke up.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen thought that what the Grand Marshal said was very true, and now there is only one way to seek peace!"

"Your Majesty, now the Soaring Dragon Kingdom is in full swing, we should avoid its edge!"

"Yeah, Your Majesty, Broken Blade City is lost, and I have no soldiers available in the big week. I can't start the battle lightly. Please think twice!"

"Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Countless voices of reconciliation sounded in the court, making Xiao Tianci feel a burst of despair. Why are the civil and military people of this dynasty so cowardly?

"Report, Broken Blade City urgently reports, Xianglong Kingdom requests to make peace with me, Da Zhou! I will send someone to Los Angeles soon!"

At this moment, the sharp voice of a eunuch resounded throughout the court, making countless courtiers dumbfounded.
