Chapter 1188 A New Emperor Chooses New Ministers (First Update)

Huo Yushen's refusal made Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan look unhappy.

He said in a deep voice: "It's hard to investigate a case nineteen years ago, but what about a recent case?!"

"The Crown Princess was killed, shaking the foundation of the country!"

"Such a serious case, how did Inspector Huo close the case?!"

"It's only been a few days, and you've come to a conclusion?!"

Huo Yushen said calmly: "Tan Tai Jing first set up a trap to kill the other party, and then the other party killed him back."

"According to the law, civilians against civilians, or civilians against citizens, self-defense counterattacks are not excessive no matter what means are used."

"So the other party has no criminal responsibility."

Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan asked grimly: "Who is the murderer?"

Huo Yushen knew that this matter could not be concealed, and he didn't want to conceal it, so he directly He said, "It was Xia Chujian, a student at the first military academy of the empire."

Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan was a little surprised: "It was her?!"

"Why did she kill the crown princess?"

Huo Yushen emphasized again, "It was the crown princess who set up a trap to kill Xia Chujian and her whole family, so Xia Chujian fought back in self-defense."

Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan snorted coldly, "This Xia Chujian is too bold!"

"She dared to kill the crown princess?!"

Huo Yushen said, "According to the law, Tan Taijing is not the crown princess."

Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan glared at him, "You are still protecting her?!"

"You dare to say that when she killed Tan Taijing, she knew that she was not born by the queen?"

Huo Yushen shut up.

How could Xia Chujian know about this kind of thing in advance?

It was just that things happened and she didn't know it until the end...

Everyone is the same.

But if you look closely, there is indeed a little bit of "usurpation" in it.

So Huo Yushen has been emphasizing that Tan Tai Jing is not the Crown Princess, just to give the emperor a preconceived impression.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan was unusually shrewd in this matter.

He held on to this little bit of order and said sternly: "At that time, she didn't know that Tan Tai Jing was not the real Crown Princess."

"But she still fought back!"

"Not only did she fight back, she also dared to beat the Crown Princess to death!"

"It's simply unforgivable!"

"You dare to release her innocent?!"

"Huo Yushen, am I giving you too much face, so that you don't know who you are?!"

As he said, Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan threw out a jade paperweight with a snap.

Huo Yushen subconsciously swayed to the side and avoided the jade paperweight.

And the jade paperweight did not hit Huo Yushen, but went forward and hit the half-open oak door.

Boom!

The solid, ten-centimeter-thick oak door was smashed into a rectangular hole by the jade paperweight!

This is the most fragile jade and the hardest wood!

The superb power control demonstrated by Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan made people look sideways.

The chief imperial physician standing in the corner looked up and drooped his eyelids again, not knowing what he was thinking.

Queen Li Fengen said at this time: "Emperor, Xia Chujian has made contributions to this palace, please let her go."

Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan sneered: "Zi Tong, are you crazy about your daughter?"

"That's a ruthless man who dares to kill the royal family!"

"You plead for her? How many heads do you have? Dare to plead for her?!"

Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan's words were actually deliberately said to people inside and outside the imperial study.

It is obvious that he wants to deal with Xia Chujian, and whoever stops him will be killed!

Huo Yushen half-drooped his head, without any movement, but his momentum became even colder.

Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan looked around and suddenly asked, "Where is Madam Jiuyi?"

"I remember that before I recuperated, I entrusted everything to her."

At this time, Huo Yushen said, "Madam Jiuyi was deeply shocked because she knew that Tan Tai Jing was not her daughter, and was taken back by her father and elder brother to recuperate."

Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan said embarrassedly, "...I don't know, I am also a victim!"

"Yushen, don't you really consider helping me investigate this unsolved case nineteen years ago?"

"The child of me and the queen has an extremely noble status, but he died at birth. I also want to know why."

Queen Li Fengen said coldly, "Your Majesty has been thinking about it for nineteen years, and it is really rare that he has made up his mind to investigate the case now..."

Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan's eyes flashed with an obscure cold light.

Huo Yushen still insisted: "Your Majesty, the war with the Zerg is now spreading to the main habitable planets of our Beichen Empire."

"According to the current progress, Shaofu Star is already in danger."

"The Special Security Bureau has sent many field personnel to the Southern Cross Star, and they all use their lives to send back messages one by one."

"Just a few days ago, the last network satellite in the Southern Cross Star Region lost contact, and we completely lost contact with the Southern Cross Star."

"In view of the current urgent war situation and the huge casualties of our special service personnel, I have decided to go there in person to detect and repair the satellite, and at the same time deploy field missions. I really don’t have time to investigate the case."

Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan seemed to realize that a war was still waiting for him. He frowned and said, "What's going on with the Zerg army? Where did they come from?"

"Did they really destroy the Dongtianyuan Divine Kingdom and the Ximaneli Federation so quickly?"

It has been only about a month since he lost consciousness and fell asleep.

Huo Yushen said: "At present, we only know that the Zerg army came from outside the domain and is related to the loosening of the cosmic boundary wall."

"What exactly caused it? We currently have no ability to pursue it."

"The Secret Service has a video of the Cimanelli Federation before it was destroyed. Your Majesty can take a look at it when you have time."

Emperor Tantai Hongyuan knew that the Beichen Empire's Special Security Bureau had field personnel in three other countries.

Those countries fell so quickly, it would be great if those people could risk their lives to send back the video.

But Emperor Tantai Hongyuan didn't seem to be moved at all.

An unspeakable anger rose from the depths of his heart, making him just want to kill Xia Chujian!

He said coldly: "In order to fight against the outside world, we must first settle down at home."

"Although external enemies are dangerous, internal dangers cannot be ignored!"

"According to my decree, Xia Chujian will be arrested and thrown into the royal prison. After trial, he will be shot immediately!"

Huo Yushen: "..."

People outside the door: "..."

No one expected that Emperor Tantai Hongyuan's first order after hearing so much about the battle on the front line was to shoot Xia Chujian!

Huo Yushen subconsciously wanted to object, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them alive.

At this time, he couldn't say a word for Xia Chujian.

If he says one more word for her, the emperor will become suspicious...

The chief physician standing in the corner said slowly: "Your Majesty, Xia Chujian's brain fog seems to be getting better after an outbreak recently."

"How about you wait a few more days... maybe her brain fog symptoms will be cured."

Emperor Tantai Hongyuan squinted his eyes, clasped his hands in front of him, groping each other, calming down his murderous intention, and gradually letting reason take over.

The chief physician's words reminded Emperor Tantai Hongyuan of what he valued most!

There is no doubt that Xia Chujian is the only person who has come back alive from the "Gate of God's Descendance".

To shoot her now would be a waste of resources.

Emperor Tantai Hongyuan's thoughts were racing, but he still said coldly: "I don't care whether her brain fog is good or bad. She was able to kill the Crown Princess without knowing it. It is really heinous!"

"Pass my decree, arrest her immediately and put her in the heavenly prison!"

Huo Yushen said at this time: "Your Majesty, the royal family's internal guards have been purged several times by the Crown Princess, and now their combat strength is seriously insufficient."

"Just the internal guards stationed in Ouchi are no longer enough."

"The Royal Heavenly Prison has been abandoned for many years. There are not enough manpower to guard it, and there is not enough equipment to maintain it."

"In my opinion, it is better to let the Special Security Bureau take her away and keep her under guard."

"The headquarters of the Special Security Bureau is right next to the Imperial City. His Majesty can summon her to the palace for trial anytime and anywhere."

Emperor Tantai Hongyuan's attention was indeed diverted. He asked in surprise: "The Crown Princess is purging the royal guards?! Is this true?!"

Huo Yushen nodded: "The previous head of the imperial guard was dismissed at home and died suddenly."

"The current leader of the imperial guard was re-selected by the Crown Princess and comes from the Earl Chen family."

Emperor Tantai Hongyuan's face looked a little ugly.

He has also been the emperor for so many years, so he doesn't know the principle of "one emperor, one courtier"!

But the problem is, he’s not dead yet!

Is that little bitch starting to prepare to ascend the throne? !

If I don’t recover and wake up in time, will I never wake up again?

From this perspective, it seems that Xia Chujian’s beating of the Crown Princess to death was not a heinous crime...

Should he still thank her?

Emperor Tantai Hongyuan sneered in his heart.

Although this person was still useful to him, he still had to kill him!

Emperor Tantai Hongyuan's murderous intention did not restrain.

Huo Yushen couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Emperor Tantai Hongyuan suddenly recovered and regained consciousness, which none of them expected.

To be honest, everyone including the Chief of Cabinet Quan Juntai has been preparing for the real transfer of power in the past few days...

Now everything is back to how it was before.

Emperor Tantai Hongyuan nodded and said, "Then according to what Huo Aiqing said, the Special Security Bureau will arrest Xia Chujian."

"Remember, she is no longer a member of the Secret Service, but a prisoner."

"You have to interrogate her as soon as possible and make sure she explains everything."

"I only give you one week."

"If we can't find any clues, we'll shoot him directly!"

In the emperor's opinion, if Xia Chujian insisted not to talk about the "Gate of God's Descending", he would be killed.

Anyway, what he can't get, he can't let anyone get it!

He winked at Huo Yushen.

Huo Yushen knew that he still had to ask what happened after entering the "Gate of God's Descending" on the Green Star.

I originally thought that as long as Xia Chu met and didn't tell her, the emperor would not kill her.

But now it seems that the emperor has obviously lost his patience...

This is the first update. There will be a second update at five minutes past twelve noon.
