Chapter 135 Si Yuan

When the Minister of War heard this order, he didn't know whether to respond or not. He knew that the emperor had made an absurd decision, but he didn't know how to persuade him to change his mind.

The three kings besieged Suzaku City?

He really wanted to ask the emperor, do you think the three kings are fools? Not to mention that there is no evidence, even if there is evidence that the Suzaku King is indeed rebellious, the three kings will never be stupid enough to cut off one of their own arms, pay for the army, and send troops to besiege Suzaku City.

Don't they know that if one of the four kings is missing, it means one less layer of power to resist the court? It gives the court an excuse to attack them?

What the emperor can think of, how can the vassal kings who guard one side not think of it?

It is simply naive and stupid to the extreme.

Several ministers in the cabinet advised, but the emperor was determined and didn't listen to anyone's advice.

They didn't even know why the emperor suddenly wanted to destroy Suzaku City so resolutely - even if he really had this idea, at least he should wait until he sat firmly on the throne.

How can you be so anxious to fly before you learn to walk?

After the ministers left the imperial study, they looked at each other worriedly, all disappointed, and the Minister of War hurried out of the palace to the Regent's Palace.

"Seek a meeting with the Regent! I have something urgent to report!"

Seeing that he was anxious, the palace guards turned around and reported to the Regent. Yan Cang asked someone to take the Minister of War to the study to discuss matters. Not long after, the Minister of War arrived at the study of the Regent's Palace.

Hearing the purpose of the visit, Yan Cang's indifferent face showed no emotion: "The emperor wants the three kings to attack the Suzaku King City together?"

"Yes." The Minister of War nodded anxiously, "The emperor heard the news from somewhere that the Suzaku King and the eldest princess conspired and had the intention of treason. He ordered the three kings to immediately attack the Suzaku King and escort the Suzaku King and the eldest princess back to Beijing for trial within three months."

Yan Cang's eyebrows were cold, and he was silent for a long time, and said indifferently: "The imperial edict cannot be violated."

What?

The Minister of War looked at him in surprise: "Regent?"

Yan Cang said in a cold tone: "Since the emperor asked you to do this, you just do it."

The Minister of War was shocked and could hardly believe what he heard, "Regent...Regent..."

Once the decree was issued, did the Regent ever think about the consequences?

"I will be away for a while soon, so you don't need to inform me about the affairs of the court." Yan Cang didn't want to pay attention to Yan Chen's thoughts, and didn't mean to interfere with his decision. "He is an adult and the king of a country. He can bear the consequences of his actions."

The Minister of War's heart sank. Did the Regent want to let the emperor do whatever he wanted?

"Regent, the country cannot be trifled with." He still wanted to struggle, "Some decisions made wrong will not affect anything, but some decisions are very likely to cause chaos in the world. Please come forward, Regent--"

Yan Cang raised his eyes slightly: "Do you mean that the emperor is trifling with the country?"

The Minister of War was shocked and said hurriedly: "That's not what I mean. The emperor is the ruler of a country, and naturally he will not trifle with the country, but no one is a saint, and no one is without mistakes. The ruler of a country will occasionally make wrong decisions--"

"The emperor is the son of heaven, the emperor chosen by heaven." Yan Cang said in a cold tone, "The decision he made is the decision of heaven, and all the consequences are the consequences that heaven wants him to bear. You don't have to say anything more, just follow the order."

The Minister of War was startled, and he couldn't help but feel strange in his heart.

What does the regent mean by this sentence?

All the consequences are the consequences that heaven wants him to bear?

This... This sentence always feels not a good omen.

Without getting the answer he wanted, the Minister of War left the Regent's Mansion in a daze, always feeling that God was playing a bad joke on them.

What on earth is going on?

No matter what the ministers thought of the emperor's absurd decision, no matter whether they agreed or opposed it, when the regent also agreed with the emperor's actions, the Minister of War could only follow the order.

The chief steward of the inner court selected three middle-aged eunuchs who were experienced and flexible, and went to the three kings' fiefdoms with the people sent by the Ministry of War.

It is natural to use fast horses to convey the order, but what is faster than the order is the day when the director of the Imperial Observatory arrives in Zhuque City and the speed at which the four vassal kings receive the information.

In the hottest season of June, Chen Guojiu returned slowly, and at the same time, the mysterious director of the Imperial Observatory, Si Yuan, finally arrived in Zhuque City.

He was dressed in a black robe and wrapped himself tightly.

From the moment he arrived in Zhuque City, Lu Ming arranged enough people to guard him.

Lord Suzaku sat on his tall horse, looking coldly at the "charlatan" in front of him who was pretending to be a god, and was also the culprit who caused His Highness to bear the stigma of being a star of misfortune since childhood. He said coldly: "You are wearing a black robe in broad daylight and dare not show your true face. Can't you see it?"

Si Yuan did not take off his black cloak for this reason. When he spoke, it was even impossible to distinguish his age from his voice: "Auspicious signs appeared in Suzaku City, and this supervisor came to find out what happened."

"Auspicious signs appeared?" Lu Ming sneered, his eyebrows full of sarcasm, "There are only evil stars in Suzaku City, no auspicious signs."

"Take me to see the eldest princess and Wen Jin."

Lu Ming's eyes showed a grim luster, staring at him coldly for a while, raised his hand and said: "Take him to the princess's mansion."

So Si Yuan was quickly taken to the princess's mansion.

In the spacious courtyard, led by Yan Qing, with Wen Jin, Lu Ming, Langya, Shen Mo and a group of Qilin Guards on his left and right, all looked at the man in black clothes, black robe and black cloak in front of them.

The surroundings were silent, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess." Si Yuan bowed, "I apologize to Her Royal Highness."

Apologize?

Wen Jin's hands were quietly hanging by his side, his handsome and elegant face was calm, but his eyes were filled with a cold and ruthless murderous aura.

"I came here rashly this time because I decided to confess some truth to the Princess." Si Yuan seemed to not care about the hostility around him, and said calmly, "I want to talk to Lord Wen alone first."
