Chapter 48

King Kang pretended to count the number of his guards, then walked to the corpses of the two guards, looked at the head of the deceased for a moment, then came to the front of the dragon chariot, knelt down on one knee, bowed over, and lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty the Holy Emperor, these two assassins are not my brother's guards, and I don't know them."

"Oh?" Song Xingtian raised his eyebrows and said sarcastically: "King Kang, since the person is rushing out of your guard, why don't you recognize him?"

"Report to the Holy Emperor, I just counted the number of people in the guards, and there were 32 people in total, just right. These two assassins obviously got involved in my guards and tried to assassinate the Holy Emperor. Their intentions are really punishable! His Majesty the Holy Emperor is clearly aware of, and I am also an innocent victim." King Kang Song Xingyun burst into tears, and seemed to be in a mess.

The Holy Emperor sneered in his heart, thinking that you are pretending, how could I not know that these two people are the dead soldiers you sent? But even though I understand it in my heart, I can't say that on the surface.

Although Song Xingyun does not have Song Xingguang's military power, he is the number one strategist under Prince Zhong, and he holds three special service departments in his hands, and his power is intricate. Without ironclad evidence, if he wants to move, he will also cause adverse consequences.

Song Xingtian waved his hand, and the two Jinyu knights walked to Song Xingyun's guards and named one by one according to the list. According to the Holy Lion Law, the prince can have his own guards, but the number must be limited, and the list, portrait and detailed information of the guards must be submitted to the Holy Emperor for review at any time. To put it bluntly, this is an important measure to suppress the prince's armed forces and protect the imperial power. One of the responsibilities of the Jinyu knights is to supervise the prince's guards, so they have detailed lists, information, and portraits of the guards of each royal palace. Now they verify according to the guards of the Kang Prince's Mansion. After one by one, the thirty-two guards were indeed fine, so the two Jinyu knights came to the two assassins and checked according to the portraits of the Kang Prince's Guards, and finally found that these two assassins were not the guards of the Kang Prince's Mansion.

Two Golden Feather Knights truthfully reported the results of their verification to the Holy Emperor.

Song Xingtian's expression was not at all strange, but he just said lightly. In fact, his heart was like a mirror. These two assassins must be from the Kang Prince's Mansion. As the saying goes, there are policies from the superiors and countermeasures from the inferiors. If you limit the number of people in the prince's guards, do they really have only a few people around them? Especially for princes like Kang who are in love with Prince Zhong and have ulterior motives, they will not do things according to the rules. If the prince is not interested, who would care about the two more people in his guard? At the critical moment, these two people can play an unexpected role. And he can still pick them cleanly afterwards.

If Song Xinghai hadn't had a quick response today, maybe the brocade box would have been taken away by these two assassins. Whether they destroyed the brocade box at the first time or took it away, it would have been enough to destroy the situation arranged by the Holy Emperor.

Thinking of this, His Majesty the Holy Emperor couldn't help but secretly sweat. He couldn't help but glance at Song Xinghai. Lao Liu, who used to look cowardly and incompetent, actually added some power. Song Xingtian nodded secretly. It seemed that his decision to support Lao Liu was correct. At the critical moment, Lao Liu was definitely a reliable person.

"Forget it, King Kang is upright. Since it has been confirmed that the assassin is indeed not your guard, I will naturally not hold you responsible." Song Xingtian waved his hand and signaled Song Xingyun to get up and speak.

"His Majesty the Holy Emperor is wise, thank you for your kindness." King Kang bowed, then quickly stood up with a grateful expression.

Song Xinghai was calm on the surface, but he felt deeply moved. He was now truly feeling the cruelty of *******. With his pitiful political wisdom, he could see that King Jing was killing people to silence him, and King Kang and the two assassins were absolutely inseparable from each other. But King Jing, who killed people in front of the Holy Emperor, easily escaped from the crime, and King Kang also took himself clean in a situation that seemed to be unfavorable to him.

Could it be that Song Xingtian could not see their tricks? Just kidding, even a political idiot like Song Xinghai, how could the scheming and scheming Holy Emperor not see it? The reason why he gave in was not that King Jing and King Kang were prepared so well. Of course, their countermeasures were almost completely invisible, and they did play a part of the role, but this was not the fundamental reason for the Holy Emperor's retreat.

The fundamental reason is that the power they control is too large, and it can affect the whole body with one blow. The Holy Emperor cannot afford this risk.

At this time, the Golden Feather Knight who searched the Huang Mansion handed over the brocade box to the eunuch, and was transferred from the eunuch to the Holy Emperor.

Song Xingtian slowly opened the brocade box, and there were still more than ten read letters inside, and the enclosure of the envelope was opened. He pulled out one by one and carefully reviewed it. Everyone's eyes were gathered on the face of the Holy Emperor, wanting to find out the content of the letter from his expression. The more Song Xingtian looked, his brows became tighter and tighter. Huang Tingxuan's face turned blue and purple, and the court uniforms on his back were wet with cold sweat.

"It's so inconspicuous!" Song Xingtian finally finished reading all the letters in the brocade box, his face was filled with anger. He closed the brocade box heavily and waved his hand. The eunuch understood his intention and shouted loudly: "His Majesty the Holy Emperor has the order to get back to the court!"

The dragon chariot moved, the music started, the golden feather knight's armor was bright, and the front and back were surrounded by the back, the Holy Emperor stood up and returned to the court.

A group of civil and military ministers rode horses and sat in sedan chairs, followed His Majesty's team to the court. The people along the way avoided them, and they were talking about the streets and alleys. They didn't know what major happened in the court, and even His Majesty the Holy Emperor was dispatched.

After returning to the Golden Palace, the Holy Emperor sat on the dragon throne and looked down at the civil and military officials. It was not easy to get angry in front of the minister's mansion. At this moment, when he arrived at the Golden Palace, the Holy Emperor slapped the dragon throne and said angrily: "Huang Tingxuan, I ask you, among the civil and military officials in the Golden Palace, are there any higher official positions and greater power than you?"

Huang Tingxuan was already nervous. Seeing His Majesty the Holy Emperor was furious, he hurriedly stepped out, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed: "Go back to His Majesty the Holy Emperor, I am the leader of the five major scholars in the cabinet. I have no name as prime minister, but I have the power of the prime minister. In the court, there is one person below and ten thousand people above!"

According to the system of the Holy Lion Empire, the power of the cabinet chief is indeed very high, and he is the administrative head of the empire, second only to the head of state, the Holy Emperor. Although the prince and the prince have higher titles, there is no real power according to the laws of the Holy Lion. However, the situation in this dynasty is a bit special. In order to maintain the balance between the princes, the early emperor gave several princes real power. Prince Zhong, Prince Jing, and King Kang, all of which are more powerful than the cabinet chief, but this is only an exception. If the system stipulates, the cabinet chief is the second number one in the court.

"Very good, finally you still know your identity!" The Holy Emperor narrowed his eyes, his voice suddenly increased, and he scolded: "Since you are already at the top, why are you not satisfied yet, but you want to have an affair with the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Lambis and seek my Holy Lion Land?"

"What?" Huang Tingxuan thought that the situation was serious, but he didn't expect it to be so serious. He was in touch with the enemy country and seeking the Song family. This was a serious crime to kill the nine clans! How could this happen? Why did the brocade box appear in his mansion? Needless to ask, he already knew what the letters in the brocade box were, it must be the letters he had communicated with the Prime Minister of the Lambis Kingdom. This was forged, absolutely forged! He had only met Zaire, the Prime Minister of the Lambis Kingdom, and when the two countries signed the armistice agreement last time, they signed the armistice letter as representatives of their respective countries. The two of them were still verbally fighting each other. How could he have had contact with that damn opponent?

"Your Majesty the Holy Emperor is clearly aware of it, I am wronged!" Huang Tingxuan robbed the ground with his head and cried out in a wail: "This brocade box is not something in the Wealth Emperor's house. I have never seen it before! Someone must have framed it. As His Majesty the Holy Emperor said, I am already the left prime minister of the Holy Lion Empire and the highest position is in power. Why should I collude with others? What is the purpose?"

"Huang Tingxuan, Huang Tingxuan, you are really a character. In the eyes of everyone, you are still quibbling. You said that someone was framed and blamed you. Who is that person? Do you have any evidence? But the evidence at hand proves that you have close contact with the prime minister of the enemy country and have discussed internally and externally to plot against my Holy Lion. There is also a secret decree from King Lambis to you, saying that after the plan is successful, you will be granted the title of Holy Lion Guard and use most of the territory of the Holy Lion Empire as your fief. Isn't this plan big enough?" Lord Saint Emperor threw the letter in his hand heavily on the dragon case, and his voice and expression were harsh!

King Kang's face turned green when he heard this. What the Holy Emperor said was exactly the same as the charge he was about to frame Wen Liren, except that the protagonist's name was changed from Wen Liren to Huang Tingxuan.

A good move is used to use his own way and he will use his own poisonous plan!

They originally wanted to eliminate Wen Liren, the number one confidant of His Majesty, in one move, and then take away the Prince of Hai, who was slightly provoked. Unexpectedly, the other party discovered the plan and defeated Huang Tingxuan with the same plan. Who is Huang Tingxuan? He is Prince Zhong's most solid ally in the court and the prime minister of a country. If he takes this opportunity to eradicate Huang Tingxuan, it is equivalent to eradicating Prince Zhong's most powerful arm. This loss is not small!

"Your Majesty the Holy Emperor, I am wronged! You are wronged!" Huang Tingxuan was frightened when he heard His Majesty the Holy Emperor say that, and he thought to himself that he was the Holy Lion Warrior of his uncle and the secret decree of King Lanbis. I never even dreamed of such a thing, let alone conspiring with others! But if he can climb to his current position, his political sensitivity must be top-notch. He knows that his future is completely ruined. No matter how he explains, His Majesty the Holy Emperor will not believe it. Even if he believes it, he will pretend not to believe it. Who asked you, Shoufu Huang, to wear a pair of pants with his arch-enemy Prince Zhong? It would be strange if he would let you go when you catch this opportunity!

So Huang Tingxuan simply refused to defend himself, and he had no way to defend himself. How could he prove that this brocade box was not a thing in his mansion? What about the evidence you said that someone else framed him?
