Volume Four, Empire Chapter 387: Dog Rong Mission

In the early morning of the next day, in the palace of the imperial city, the emperor sat on the dragon chair with a solemn treasure. The attendant beside him stood respectfully, and the civil and military officials below stood on both sides and bowed slightly.

Wen is headed by the Prime Minister Zhuge Changfeng, and Wu is respected by the military commander Dugu Zhantian!

Everyone bowed down to the emperor in unison: "Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"There is a book to play, and there is no book to retreat!" The valet raised his voice sharply, took a step forward, and glanced at everyone present.

As soon as he finished speaking, Dugu Zhantian waved his robe sleeves, stood up first, bowed and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the assassination of Lord Yun Xuanji, the high priest of the empire, has been investigated for more than ten days by the old minister, but there is still no clue. Please. Your Majesty's quasi-ministers will send more staff to conduct more stringent investigations on the major families in the imperial capital!"

"Precise!" The emperor said coldly with no expression on his face.

Dugu Zhantian bowed to take orders, but Zhuge Changfeng laughed secretly when he saw it. This old marshal was indeed doing his best, loyal to the monarch and serving the country, but unfortunately he was too upright.

Even if you are more conscientious and follow the wrong direction, will it not be a waste in the end?

The beard shook slightly, Zhuge Changfeng took a step forward, and said with a light smile: "Report to Your Majesty, the old minister also has something to report. In the past ten days, the gate of the imperial capital has been closed, and the people are afraid, and each family is afraid. , lift the ban on the imperial capital's decree of closing the city."

"Hmph, the high priest's case hasn't been solved yet, how can you open the city gate so easily? The Prime Minister is so eager, could it be that this matter has something to do with the adults?" stared at him closely.

The emperor also looked at him coldly and remained silent, waiting for his explanation.

Shaking his head with a dumb smile, Zhuge Changfeng said indifferently, "Although the case of the High Priest is important, the face of the Empire is also very important. Your Majesty, even if you don't care about the people's well-being, you still have to care about the rumors of foreign countries. ."

Having said that, Zhuge Changfeng's expression turned solemn, and he bowed and took out a copy of the manuscript: "Report to Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Quanrong Kingdom knows that His Majesty's 100th birthday is approaching.

"what?"

As soon as these words came out, the emperor and Dugu Zhantian exclaimed together: "Qinrong actually sent a special mission?"

The beard shook slightly, and Zhuge Changfeng nodded lightly: "Yes, this is a major diplomatic matter. If you let the Quanrong mission come to the imperial capital, you will see that the gates of the imperial capital are closed, and the people are not allowed to enter and exit at will, and you will be ridiculed!"

His brows couldn't help but tremble, the emperor stared at Zhuge Changfeng's slightly mocking face, secretly hating him.

This Zhuge Changfeng is above the court, and it is really aimed at him everywhere. Previously, the prime minister did not mention this matter earlier, but only mentioned the issue of unlocking the ban on the city gate, using the people as a pretext, and he did not agree.

But at this time, using the Quanrong Mission as a pretext, if he agreed, wouldn't he give everyone the image of a faint-hearted monarch who only cares about his own face and ignores the safety of the people?

Such a wolf's ambition is really obvious!

It's a pity that Zhuge Changfeng is obscure, and the emperor really can't do anything to him!

Holding Zhuge Changfeng's memorial in his hand, the emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, thought carefully, and hesitated.

Seeing this, Dugu Zhantian hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, Quan Rong has always been at odds with me, Tianyu, and has been in constant friction over the years. At this time, sending a special envoy is afraid of fraud, especially now that the imperial capital is mixed with fish and dragons, and it is not suitable for external forces to enter. , Your Majesty, please categorically reject their request, don't lead the wolf into the room!"

"The old marshal's words are bad. Because the two countries have always been uneasy, this is the best time to cultivate the Qin and Jin relations between the two countries!"

Shaking his head slowly, Zhuge Changfeng laughed and said, "Besides, people come to wish their birthdays with kindness, but you shut them out, you really lose my prestige in the sky, and make Quanrong look down on us! It's about His Majesty's face, Tianyu is majestic, how can the old marshal be so cautious and lose his dignity?"

As soon as the voice fell, a minister in a red robe immediately above the court walked out of the queue and bowed to support: "The Prime Minister's words are reasonable, the old minister agrees!"

The emperor looked around and raised his brows, this person was actually the Minister of the Central Hall!

Immediately afterwards, another person stood up, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty's words are very true, please your Majesty to play it!"

Minister of War?

Dugu Zhantian secretly said, his beard trembled slightly.

After that, all the officials in the court fell to their knees on the ground almost at the same time, and said loudly: "Chen wait for the second opinion!"

This time, even the emperor took a deep breath, and his complexion instantly turned blue. Even if he knew that Zhuge Changfeng had power over the court and the opposition, he never imagined that the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty would stand on his side without any omission.

Dugu Zhantian was also stunned when he saw this. He could not think of the loyal ministers who were willing to follow the emperor in the whole world and in the courtroom.

The same is true for both civil servants and generals. The power of the emperor, except for a few close ministers, has been completely emptied!

Zhuge Changfeng stroked his beard lightly, raised his head proudly, looked at the emperor and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is a major matter for the country, ministers and others are loyal to the monarch, please make a decision quickly, and the old man may reply to the Emperor Quanrong as soon as possible! "

"Hum hum hum... Prime Minister, why are you in such a hurry? You are so worried about Quan Rong. If you didn't know, you would have thought you were the Prime Minister there!"

With a cold smile, the emperor's beard couldn't stop shaking, and sneered at Zhuge Changfeng.

As soon as this remark came out, all the civil and military officials of the dynasty turned pale with shock, looked at each other, and their heads were full of faces.

sweat.

The emperor's remarks can be described as extremely serious, but among all the crimes, treason is the most serious. Although the emperor looked like a joke just now, he pointed directly at Zhuge Changfeng, and once the prime minister treasoned the country, this is a very serious crime.

Without evidence, even the emperor can't say anything, let alone a prime minister.

It can be seen how strong the anger in the emperor's heart is now, and he has already begun to talk nonsense.

Zhuge Changfeng heard this, but he was still calm, smiled without any hesitation, and said leisurely: "Your Majesty, don't make this joke, the old minister holds Tianyu's salary and wants to contribute to the empire. So everything I do, It's all for the sake of the imperial society, please understand your majesty!"

"Hehehe... I understand, the Prime Minister's painstaking efforts, of course I understand!"

Almost gnashing his teeth, the emperor sneered, and then slammed the memorial to the attendant next to him, shouting: "According to the performance of the Prime Minister, the Quan Quan Rong Mission enters the territory of Tianyu, the emperor's capital is lifted, and the case of the high priest is the case. We will discuss it after my birthday!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The courtiers bowed and bowed, but the emperor looked at them with a sneer, his fists clenched fiercely, and Dugu Zhantian also swept a pair of cold eyes at everyone present, scolding in his heart, a group of chaotic ministers and thieves...

...

At the same time, in the High Priest's Mansion, on the top of the star-gazing building, a ten-meter square golden compass was placed calmly on the topmost position, exuding a deep blue light. run.

Zhuo Fan and Yunshuang looked at all of this, their eyes were like torches, and their eyes were full of surprise.

"This is the eighth-grade spirit soldier that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Yun family, Tongtianyi?" Zhuo Fan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he exclaimed in amazement.

Nodding slowly, Yunshuang said solemnly: "Yes, this celestial instrument is connected with heaven and earth, and you can see the general trend of the world. Yesterday, I watched the evolution of the stars, and I only knew that the energy of the evil dragon was converging here, but it was only an outline. Only Only through this heaven-penetrating instrument can you clearly see the direction of its momentum and entangle with the fate of each family!"

"I see!"

Nodding clearly, Zhuo Fan took a deep breath, looked at her closely, and said solemnly: "Then you can take a good look here, I'll take care of you!"

puff!

Yun Shuang covered her mouth and chuckled, and rolled her eyes at him: "This is the place where my Yun family is originally, so how can you tell Feng Zhi to make it look like we are thieves?"

"Uh, that's what I said, but now everyone's eyes and ears are mixed up, I'll help you guard!" Zhuo Fan scratched his head awkwardly, then walked out and guarded the door.

Turning her head and looking at him deeply, Yun Shuang seemed to remember what happened last night, a blush flashed on her cheeks, and she muttered: "He... doesn't seem to be that bad, at least... The people next to him are not bad, otherwise, why would those people take the initiative to celebrate his birthday?"

Thinking of this, and thinking about the hug I gave him last night, it was like giving him a birthday present, and my cheeks turned even redder.

She quickly shook her head and calmed herself down. Yun Shuang's eyes narrowed, and her eyes suddenly turned pitch black as she stared at the Tongtian Instrument.

In an instant, but seeing the stars in the sky turned into four giant dragons, galloping in Tianyu territory, biting each other, Yun Shuang looked more and more shocked, and there were bursts of panic on his face.

Because she has already seen the same scene as her grandfather once saw, four evil dragons attacking each other, and all the creatures in the sky and the earth are ruined. Although the final winner is not yet clear, what is certain is that for decades after this war, Tianyu will be full of corpses and the people will not be able to live.

The heavy casualties are the most in Tianyu for thousands of years!

hum!

A burst of invisible fluctuations sent out, the Tongtian Instrument stopped, and the stars in the sky disappeared without a trace.

Zhuo Fan saw it and ran over curiously: "Hey, it's over?"

However, when he saw Yun Shuang's face, he couldn't help but be startled. At this moment, Yun Shuang has two lines of tears hanging on his face, and his eyes are full of sorrow.

"Uh, Shuang'er, what's the matter with you, watching the sky and crying in the wind?" Zhuo Fan blinked, not knowing why.

But Yun Shuang suddenly grabbed his wrist and pleaded: "Steward Zhuo, I beg you, you can ignore my grandfather's affairs, but please stop this catastrophe, and only you can change it. Tianyu's country is fortunate, let the people of the world avoid being ruined!"

Yunshuang held Zhuo Fan's hand very tightly, both hands were red, Zhuo Fan gave her a deep look and nodded slightly: "Do your best, but..."

"But what?" When Yun Shuang saw Zhuo Fan's agreement, he burst into laughter.

But Zhuo Fan said very seriously: "I, Zhuo Fan, have a clear distinction between public and private, and always put personal matters first. You are my person, and I will definitely help you solve your affairs. As for other matters, it can only be incidental, but not I will force it!"

Yun Shuang was stunned, not knowing why.

Zhuo Fan smiled casually and said noncommittally: "This is my style of doing things, you will understand later. Okay, now let's talk about it, what did you see?"

Hearing this, Yun Shuang only reacted, and her face suddenly became solemn: "This time the evil dragon is coming, I am afraid it is aimed at the Luo family!"

"Oh?" With a frown, Zhuo Fan was puzzled.

The Luo family has just emerged and has a half-money relationship with Quanrong. How could it be directed at the Luo family...
