Chaotian Kingdom, Chaotian City, and within the imperial palace.

"Your Majesty, the old prime minister is waiting for the summons outside the palace." The eunuch guarding the door walked in with small steps, knelt down in front of the dragon case and said.

The emperor, who was reading the memorial, said "hmm" and said, "Call him in."

"Cha." The eunuch walked out again with small steps.

After a while, an old man in rich clothes walked in with a cane, walked to the dragon case, put down the cane slightly, and said: "I see you, Your Majesty."

"Well, I'll give you a seat." The emperor raised his eyelids and said.

He did not stop flipping through the memorial in his hand, and even picked up a pen and hesitated to write a few words on the memorial.

After the old prime minister sat down, he narrowed his eyes with a trace of saliva at the corner of his mouth.

After reading the memorial, the emperor coughed, picked up the pen and knocked heavily on the desk. The old prime minister slowly opened his eyes, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and stood up to apologize to the emperor.

.

The emperor waved his hand impatiently and said: "Okay, let's not play with the false etiquette. Let's talk directly. What is the purpose of the old prime minister entering the palace today? If it is for the Feng family case, there is no need to say more. I have made up my mind.

No need to say more."

"Your Majesty, the Feng Yi clan has offended the Immortal Court and violated the laws of the Immortal Court. Tens of thousands of deaths are not enough to atone for their sins. The Feng clan and the remnants of the Pingdong Army should all be executed. Now Feng Yi's son and his bodyguards are on the run.

How can His Majesty cancel the wanted order so easily?"

When the matter was brought up, the old prime minister was on the contrary lively and lively, without any trace of old-fashioned attitude. "Furthermore, the Pingdong Army was involved in this case. Your Majesty only revoked the name and allowed the soldiers of the Pingdong Army to return to their hometown."

"Your Majesty, what you are doing is treating the laws of the Immortal Court as nothing." When he said the excitement, the old prime minister's saliva flew everywhere.

The emperor was a little angry when he heard that. He put the brush in his hand at the feet of the old prime minister, snorted angrily and said: "Old prime minister, I would like to ask you, do you rely on Xianting to execute the entire Pingdong Army?

Which law do you have? Why on earth do you want to trap and kill my hundreds of thousands of warriors from the Kingdom of Heaven?"

"Your Majesty, the sage once said: Immortals are the revered ones of heaven and earth. Even heaven and earth respect immortals. But if Feng is not as easy as a mere mortal, he dares to violate the laws of the immortal court. Isn't it a great crime? The Feng family and Ping

The Eastern Army is his arm, so he should be guilty of the same crime, Your Majesty." After saying this, the old prime minister knelt down, and no matter what the emperor said, he would just kowtow and say nothing.

The emperor was a little tired of his noise, so he stood up and left the main hall. He found a remote palace, got in, and ordered the guard of honor to hide far away, so as not to be looked for by someone looking at the guard of honor again.

"The civil and military ministers of the entire dynasty are almost quarreling over the Feng family case." The emperor knocked on his calf and complained: "Even the old prime minister who has not been in court for a long time has waded into this muddy water."

The old eunuch on the side burst into laughter, and the emperor turned his head to look at him. The emperor looked at him all over in panic, and the old eunuch begged for mercy: "Your Majesty."

"Well, please tell me what happy things happened in the palace recently." The emperor turned his head, continued to tap his calf, and said: "I can't let you, an old man, have fun alone."

"Your Majesty, if there is any happy event in this palace, I don't need the old slave to tell you, it has already reached your Majesty's ears. Old slave, you are laughing at Your Majesty." The old eunuch said with a smile: "Old slave is laughing.

Your Majesty is trapped in a cocoon."

"Tell me, how did I end up in a cocoon?"

"Isn't this water muddy by Your Majesty? If the water is muddy, Your Majesty will be able to tell which people in the court are loyal to the Feng family, who put private affairs more seriously than state affairs, and who are truly loyal to the emperor.

It belongs to the country." The old eunuch bent down and said, "The mudder this water is, the happier your majesty will be."

The emperor sighed and said: "After all, he is an old man in the palace, and his heart is transparent. It will be great when the prince can be as smart as you."

Thinking of his eldest son, the emperor became angrier and angrier. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He wished he could grab him now, hold him on his lap and spank him.

The old eunuch smiled and said: "His Royal Highness is very talented. With a little training, he will definitely become your Majesty's right-hand man." He hesitated again and said: "Your Majesty, yesterday the spies came to report that old General Li Zilai went to the Fire Wolf Gang and brought him to the Fire Wolf Gang.

The previous leader of the Fire Wolf Gang was seriously injured after being pressed with a finger."

"Your Majesty, the old general spent his whole life in the army. Now that he is free, it is reasonable to go into the mountains to suppress bandits. It's just that the Fire Wolf Gang is not ordinary after all, so it's better to give it a try." The old eunuch is in charge of the emperor's private intelligence network.

Therefore, I can often say something in government affairs.

"Haha, I expected Li Zilai to suppress the bandits. This was my original plan when I asked him to go to Liyang Prefecture. But I didn't expect that this old guy didn't go crazy and quelled all the bandits in Mangdang Mountain. On the contrary, he did

The troops stationed in the Huolang Gang and Chu Qi Village were hesitant."

The emperor adjusted his clothes and sneered: "I'm afraid this old guy has contacted Feng Yi's son. Otherwise, with his character, he would have slaughtered all Mangdang Mountains long ago without any scruples at all."

"Your Majesty, what are your plans?" the old eunuch bent down and asked.

The emperor waved his hand and said: "Let him go. Feng Yi is dead, and there is only one person left in the Feng family. What kind of trouble can it cause? Quan should thank the Feng family for their hard work for generations to protect the eastern border of the empire.

."

"Yes." The old eunuch accepted the order. With the emperor's words, Chaotian Kingdom's most powerful and terrifying intelligence organization would no longer continue to pursue Fengyun Shang.

After hiding for a while, the emperor thought it was time for the old prime minister to leave, so he secretly ran back to the main hall.

The emperor opened the palace door and turned around to run away, but the voice of the old prime minister came from behind him, "Your Majesty, please listen to what I have to say, otherwise I will crash and die in this hall."

Seeing that the old prime minister was threatening to die, the emperor had no choice but to sit back in front of his desk, scratching his nose with his hand and saying: "Old prime minister, why are you doing this? I just remembered that I haven't gone to see the queen today. Since the old prime minister

The Prime Minister still has something to say, so I won't go."

The old prime minister kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, please kill the entire Eastern Army and punish the remaining soldiers involved in this matter by being burned with cannons."

When the emperor heard that old things were brought up again, the anger in his heart finally couldn't be suppressed. He overturned the bamboo slips in front of him, rolled them down in front of the old prime minister, and roared: "Old prime minister, look at these, treat me well."

Look at these."

When the old man saw that the emperor was angry, he couldn't help but shudder. He tremblingly picked up a bamboo slip and opened it. He saw the content written on it also asked the emperor to kill the Pingdong Army.

After reading several copies, it was like this. The old prime minister felt confident in his heart, his hands stopped shaking, and he stopped breathing. He kowtowed to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, if you don't kill the Pingdong Army, it will not be enough to calm the anger of the government and the opposition.

"

The emperor threw another bamboo slip to him and said, "This is what I plan to say to the court tomorrow morning. The old prime minister might as well help me take a look at it first and give me some advice."

When the old prime minister opened it and took a look, his hands started shaking again and he almost couldn't kneel down. There was no other reason. This bamboo slip was a list of people who had been beheaded, and the names on it were exactly the same as the names on the memorials he had just read.

.

"Old Prime Minister, I want to ask you something." After roaring for a while, the emperor's anger subsided a little, and he asked: "How much do you know about the Pingdong Army and the soldiers you want to punish with cannons?

"

The old prime minister was speechless for a moment. He only knew that Feng Yi was in bad luck and the Feng family was wiped out. He happily rushed into the muddy water with the mentality of adding insult to injury.

As for those unlucky ones who are going to be executed or executed, it has nothing to do with him. Being able to be punished by him is already a blessing that those unlucky ones have earned over several lifetimes. There is nothing worth understanding about it.

The emperor did not intend to listen to him and continued: "There are 100,000 Pingdong Army, and 400,000 soldiers accompanying the Pingdong Army. Among these 500,000 people, more than 200,000 are the only labor force of the family. If it is true,

If we do what you say and lose the labor force, these two hundred thousand households will starve to death and die of disease. If we calculate a household of five people, more than one million people will die as a result."

The emperor looked at the old prime minister who was kneeling below and asked: "Old prime minister, I ask you, how many households and people are there in Manzhou?"

"Reporting to your Majesty, there are 1.3 million people in Manzhou." The old prime minister's upper and lower teeth kept chattering and he couldn't even speak clearly.

"It seems that the old prime minister is not old and stupid." The emperor praised, and then became furious, "You wiped out one of my states with your lip service. This is your so-called loyalty to the emperor.

country."

"Ah? Speak, old man." The emperor slowly walked up to the old prime minister step by step and kicked him to the ground.

The old prime minister no longer had the previous splendor, his hair was disheveled, and he kept kowtowing to the emperor and said: "What I do is all for your majesty. The Feng family has long been disobedient. If we don't take the opportunity to remove its wings, there will be endless disasters in the future."

Ah, Your Majesty."

The emperor nodded and said: "This is true. It is indeed necessary to kill the chicken to scare the monkey. The old prime minister is so loyal to the emperor and the country, he will definitely be willing to share my worries."
