Chapter 992 Completely Dismissed
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the gate made of Xingyun steel, and even the soldiers who were about to surround the secret room stopped in their tracks.
"Huh? Your Majesty, why are you here?" The elder Li Xuanmiao came out of the secret room first. Li Xuanmiao was very surprised when he saw Zhao Tianlong sitting in front of the secret room. Take a small step and greet him.
Perhaps because of walking too fast, Li Xuanmiao's body shook slightly, Li Zhanfeng hurried forward to support Li Xuanmiao.
Li Qishan and Ye Wanqiu came out following Li Xuanmiao. When they saw Zhao Tianlong, they were stunned for a moment and seemed a little flustered, but they held each other's hands and quickly calmed down.
When the four of them just came out of the secret room, they found that the surroundings were full of soldiers, and a large piece of the wall of the secret room had fallen off, exposing the metal inside, but the four of them pretended not to see it.
"Welcome Your Majesty Sheng'an!" The four stood in front of Zhao Tianlong one by one, Li Xuanmiao and Ye Wanqiu bowed to salute, Li Zhanfeng and Li Qishan knelt on one knee.
Although they were all greeting Zhao Tianlong, it was obvious from the expressions on the faces of the four that everyone had a different heart.
Li Xuanmiao had a face full of sincerity and fear, and at the same time showed absolute respect. It could be seen that he was very respectful to Zhao Tianlong.
Li Zhanfeng looked a little downcast, like an eggplant beaten by frost.
Li Qishan frowned tightly, his expression was a bit complicated, obviously he was very conflicted.
Ye Wanqiu's eyes were red, and the tip of her nose was also a little red. It looked like she was still crying just now, she looked pitiful, and looked at Zhao Tianlong with resentment and anger in her eyes.
"Let's get down!" Zhao Tianlong glanced at the direction of the door of the secret room seemingly casually, but he didn't notice anyone else coming out.
"Li Zhanfeng, I have something to discuss with you this time, but after I got here, I heard that you were discussing important matters in the secret room. I wonder if you can tell me a thing or two about this important matter? Of course, if this important matter is yours If it is inconvenient to talk about family affairs, then forget it, and I will not force it." Zhao Tianlong smiled and said casually.
"Your Majesty, you are joking. Compared with your affairs, what are our important matters? And there is nothing we can discuss with you, Your Majesty. In fact, what we are discussing in the secret room is Li Zhenbang's affairs." Li Zhanfeng took a deep breath, calmed down his mood, and put a professional smile on his face.
"Oh? Discuss about Li Zhenbang?" Zhao Tianlong raised his brows,
He glanced at Li Zhanfeng and the others playfully.
"Your Majesty, I wonder if you can..." Li Zhanfeng glanced at the people around him, hesitant to speak.
Zhao Tianlong understood what Li Zhanfeng meant, he didn't want too many people to know about the discussion this time, and he didn't want it to be spread.
"You all go down!" Zhao Tianlong waved to the people around him, not even a bodyguard was left behind. However, these personal guards did not go too far, but joined the ranks of soldiers surrounding the secret room.
Zhao Tianlong's doing this is a veiled expression of his attitude. I can give you the face of the Red Maple Leaf family, but I have doubts about you now. As for how you dispel my doubts, it depends on your performance.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Zhanfeng looked at Zhao Tianlong gratefully.
"Speak!" Zhao Tianlong said calmly, without any fluctuation because of Li Zhanfeng's attitude.
"Your Majesty, since Li Zhenbang doesn't cherish the family and asks to withdraw from the family, we will grant his wish. After the research and decision of the elder and I, we will directly remove Li Zhenbang from the Red Maple Leaf family." Li Zhanfeng finished speaking, from He took out an exquisite magic scroll made of animal skin and handed it to Zhao Tianlong.
Zhao Tianlong took the scroll suspiciously, opened it only to find that it was the genealogy of the Red Maple Leaf family. Originally, there were three children under Li Qishan's name, namely Li Ruoyue, Li Ruoxing and Li Zhenbang, but at this time Li Zhenbang's name and deeds were nowhere to be found.
Under normal circumstances, if a person is expelled from the family tree, it is generally noted why he was expelled. Even if he is no longer a member of the clan, traces can still be found on the genealogy. Even if this person has committed a heinous crime, his descendants still have the opportunity to restore their clan identity.
If this person has made great contributions to the country or family in the future, or if his descendants have made great contributions after this person dies, this person may even have the opportunity to move into the ancestral grave.
But Li Zhenbang's actions are so extreme that there is no trace at all. Even if his descendants save the whole world, I am afraid that his branch will not be able to restore the identity of the family. Because Li Zhenbang was completely cleared at all, not ordinary expulsion or deprivation of identity.
For this result, Zhao Tianlong was still very surprised, he did not expect Li Zhanfeng to be so decisive, leaving no leeway at all.
Only then did he understand why Li Qishan and Ye Wanqiu's expressions and the way they looked at him were so weird.
In the genealogy of a family, even children who die at birth will be recorded in the genealogy.
But Li Qishan and Ye Wanqiu's only son, the son who has lived together for so many years, is still locked in a sky prison and has not been sentenced, but now they say that there is no one, and it is not reflected in the genealogy. How can I feel better?
"Actually, we did not discuss matters in the secret room this time, but announced this decision to Li Qishan and Ye Wanqiu, and at the same time warned Li Qishan and Ye Wanqiu not to do unwise things on the spur of the moment."
"The reason why we chose to do it in this secret room is because Li Qishan and Ye Wanqiu didn't have any major faults after all, we can't beat them to death just because they gave birth to an unfaithful and unfilial child!"
"Another thing is that they still have a relationship with Princess Zhao Wenji. It's better to announce it in private than in public, otherwise the princess' reputation will be damaged!"
Li Zhanfeng's words were very level, saying that Zhao Wenji would be affected, but the hidden meaning was that Zhao Tianlong's face was dull.
Zhao Tianlong nodded, of course he could hear the hidden meaning in Li Zhanfeng's words, and at the same time he also understood that Li Zhanfeng did this out of selfish intentions to protect Li Qishan and Ye Wanqiu.
No matter what the purpose of Li Zhanfeng is, there is a reason to keep the face of the royal family after all, so Zhao Tianlong will not go into it. What's more, Zhao Tianlong's purpose here is not to listen to what Li Zhanfeng said, he wants to see if Li Zhanfeng and the others have anything to do with Li Zhenbang's escape from prison.
"Hey!" Zhao Tianlong sighed, as if he was also very helpless about this matter.
Zhao Tianlong picked up the teacup and made a gesture to drink the tea, then suddenly stopped, "Have you been to the prison today?"
Li Qishan and Ye Wanqiu's bodies froze. Although they had already discussed everything, when Zhao Tianlong questioned them, their bodies unavoidably reacted uncontrollably, and Zhao Tianlong had a panoramic view of all of this.
"Your Majesty, since they came back from the palace, they have always wanted to go to the prison to see Li Zhenbang, but I did not agree. After discussing with the First Elder how to deal with Li Zhenbang, I brought them into the secret room, so they never had a chance." Li Zhanfeng quickly took over the conversation.
"Have you never left your home since you came back from the palace?" Zhao Tianlong asked calmly, but everyone could feel the restlessness hidden under this calmness.
"Return to Your Majesty, we..."
"I didn't ask you. Li Xuanmiao, you are the elder of the two dynasties. In the entire Red Maple Leaf family, I trust you the most. Tell me, after you returned from the palace, did you leave here again?" Li Zhanfeng just He wanted to answer, but was interrupted by Zhao Tianlong, who stared fixedly at Li Xuanmiao.
"Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness. I really can't repay you. I swear in the name of the God of War that we have never left the palace since we came back." Li Xuanmiao said fearfully.
Zhao Tianlong stared at Li Xuanmiao for a while, then nodded, and then looked at the closed room, "Your closed room is interesting, I wonder if I can visit it."
"Your Majesty, what belongs to our Red Maple Leaf family belongs to His Majesty. Without Your Majesty, we would not be where we are today. If Your Majesty likes it, I will give this secret room to His Majesty."
"It's just that this secret room can't be moved. If Your Majesty likes it, you can either disassemble the secret room into parts and take it away, or you can only leave it in Weichen's mansion, and Weichen will manage it for you." Li Xuanmiao said respectfully, as if the secret room was closed. The closed chamber is just an ordinary little gift.
Zhao Tianlong was quite moved, no matter whether he took this secret room as his own or dismantled it into parts, it was a great temptation for him.
"Elder Elder, how can you look at Your Majesty like this? I told His Majesty just now about the secret room, and you are treating a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart! Your Majesty is a wise gentleman, how could he miss our family?" Chamber of Secrets?"
"Besides, you are giving the secret room to His Majesty at this time. Those who know know that we are loyal to His Majesty and everything belongs to His Majesty. Those who don't know think that we are bribing His Majesty and want to exchange the secret room for Li Zhenbang. peace!"
"You are simply trapping His Majesty in injustice. Even if you want to give the secret room to Your Majesty, you have to wait until Li Zhenbang is dealt with and the matter subsides." Li Xiangyang curled his lips, sneering at Li Xuanmiao's approach.
"Fourth Elder, your words remind me that even if Li Zhenbang is dealt with and the matter subsides, this secret room can't be sent!" Li Zhanfeng said annoyedly.
"Why? Send it off after the matter subsides. Who can say what will happen?" Li Xiangyang looked at Li Zhanfeng puzzled.
