There was chaos in the hall, but the military attachés did not take action. Instead, Mi Ke, a civil servant, chased people around the hall, chasing and beating them.

From time to time, the wailing sounds of courtiers could be heard.

But what people can't understand is that His Highness the Crown Prince never spoke. He just stood beside the body of the late Prime Minister Zaifu, as if he was in a daze, as if he was in a trance.

Soon, a chamberlain quietly left the main hall. After walking for a while, he met a female official, and then whispered something to the female official. The female official then came to the remote palace. After a while, there was a sound in the palace.

Some rapid footsteps.

The Crown Princess Wu Xinyue, whose belly was bulging, still picked up the seemingly ordinary flying sword and rushed out of the palace angrily, heading towards the meeting hall.

The female officials all knelt down in front of the crown princess and blocked her way forward.

"Your Majesty, think twice!"

The female officials have finished explaining their reasons a long time ago, and have actually fulfilled their duties long ago. If they do anything else at this moment, it is very likely to cause trouble, but it has not been a year or two since they entered the palace, and they have all been there.

The empress was in the palace when she was in charge of the harem, for no other reason than to express gratitude to the empress for her kindness. They could not just sit idly by like this.

No matter what, the Wu Xinyue in front of me is the Queen's daughter-in-law.

Wu Xinyue held up the sword and said with great determination: "I know that you are all thinking about me, but in this situation, if I don't go over there, I will let His Highness carry it alone. If nothing else, I'm afraid

It’s all in vain for us to be husband and wife. No matter what happens today, even if I can’t be the crown princess, I will go there!”

After saying this, she walked past the crowd of kneeling female officials. As soon as she stepped out of the palace gate, she saw the young man in black shirt with a pale face and a tired look.

Wu Xinyue was stunned and said, "Your Majesty the Guardian."

Chen Chao nodded, glanced at Wu Xinyue's belly, and smiled, "Is it almost time?"

Wu Xinyue nodded, "There's still more than a month left, brother..."

Chen Chao waved his hand and said: "I already know the matter. I came back from the north just for this matter."

When Wu Xinyue heard what Chen Chao said, she felt reassured, but she still said with worry on her face: "What the old Prime Minister said before he died made things more troublesome."

The old Prime Minister was chosen by His Majesty the Emperor after he entered the Divine Capital. Over the years, he has actually been a pretty good person. However, as the head of a hundred officials, he has actually been a little aggrieved over the years because he has encountered so many difficulties.

Now that he is an extremely powerful emperor, His Majesty the Emperor has always made decisions on major affairs of state, so there is no room for the courtiers to discuss and decide. However, if he did not have the ability to do things, I am afraid he would not be able to serve as Prime Minister for so many years.

"Everyone has different ideas. It's like going somewhere. There are countless roads. Everyone has their own choice. In fact, they all have good intentions and want to reach the destination in the end, so such people do this

It's not that he had any bad intentions."

Chen Chao exhaled a breath, "But now, no matter what thoughts you have, you should hold them in, because everyone has only one way to choose, whether they are willing or not."

"Don't go. Now that I'm back, this matter will naturally be solved. You take good care of it. After the baby is born, remember to send a message to the north. I also want to know whether it is a nephew or a niece."

After saying this, Chen Chao turned around and left without waiting for Wu Xinyue to say anything.

Wu Xinyue looked at Chen Chao's back and said nothing. She had not even asked about the situation in the north before. It was not that she did not care, but that she really wanted to be a princess.

Don't cause trouble to your husband.

…

…

In the main hall, Mi Ke was finally restrained. This minister of household affairs was holding half a stick. Although it made people a little scared for a while, in the end he was just a scholar, and he was not young at all. He would always be exhausted.

, so even though a bunch of young civil servants swarmed him, they still held him down.

Seeing Mi Ke being held down, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

This guy was a mad dog before, but now he is finally restrained. In any case, it is a good thing.

However, although Mi Ke was restrained, the hall still did not quiet down.

"You bitches, you guys... have the guts to let me go... let's fight one on one!"

This guy who used to be a submissive person in the officialdom of Shendu, now has no trace of a scholar at all, and he is full of swear words.

Probably not many people know that this Minister Mi came from a truly poor family. When he was young, he was a troubled boy in the neighborhood.

But he was such a bastard, but he was extremely smart, especially in studies. He passed the Jinshi examination in his thirties, and then served as the magistrate of Tianqing County for many years.

After that, he was finally promoted to the position of county governor. Mi Ke himself thought that this would be the end of his life, but he never thought that one day he would come to the capital of the gods and be able to see the mighty Emperor from a distance in person at the court meeting.

, and in the next few years, Mi Ke was cautious and extremely cautious, in order to one day be truly the same as the other courtiers, and have his own magnanimity in his actions. However, when he heard these courtiers talking about moving the capital, he had to give up those few things.

After meeting the people of the state, Mi Ke realized one truth belatedly, that is, he and them were never the same person.

So he no longer holds it back.

"Mi Ke, are you still barking like this? Today I will ask His Highness the Crown Prince to remove you from the position of Minister of Household Affairs!"

One of the courtiers spoke up. It was a minister from the Ministry of Personnel. He still had a large black bruise on his forehead, which was caused by Mi Ke's previous beating.

"Dismissed from office? Hahaha... It's disgraceful for me to be a minister of the same palace as you guys, dressed like beasts. If I'm dismissed from my position, I won't have to see your ugly faces!"

Mi Ke had a sneer on his face, "A bunch of dead dogs are eating the common people's food, but the common people are just pigs and dogs in your eyes. Isn't this funny? What kind of sage's book are you reading? I'm afraid.

The book must have been read into the dog’s belly a long time ago!”

"Mi Ke...you are brave!"

"We are waiting for the sake of the overall situation. No one wants to do it, but in such a situation, some people always have to be abandoned!"

The courtiers were dissatisfied with the rebuttal. Some people may really think so, while others may not think so, but just use excuses.

"What does it mean to always have to abandon some people?"

A voice suddenly sounded outside the hall, and at the same time, a gust of wind and snow rushed in from outside the hall. No one noticed that the wind and snow outside were already so strong at this moment.

Walking in with the wind and snow was the young man in black shirt.

His face was pale and his body was exhausted, but his body was still uplifted.

The courtiers raised their eyes and could not recognize the person in front of them at first glance. But when they saw the knife hanging from the young man's waist at the second glance, they no longer doubted the identity of the person in front of them.

Daliang garrison envoy Chen Chao.

"Brother..."

At this moment, His Highness the Crown Prince finally came to his senses, a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes, but his face was full of bitterness.

Chen Chao patted his younger brother on the shoulder, smiled and said, "You've done a great job."

Then Chen Chao came to the late Zaifu, bent down and tugged at the thick robe that was already covering him, and then took a look at Mi Ke who was still being held down at the moment.

Chen Chao said: "Let Master Mi go."

"Lord Guard Envoy, this Mi Ke just..."

One of the courtiers immediately spoke in a hurried voice, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted mercilessly by Chen Chao, "Can't you understand what I'm saying?"

This sentence was very calm, but everyone heard it very coldly.

Because... they remembered the reputation of this young guardian envoy in the past, which made it difficult for them to say no.

So Mi Ke was let go, and the Minister of Household Affairs came to Chen Chao. Before he could speak, Chen Chao looked at his damaged official robe and joked: "I thought only scholars like Master Zhang have such inner talents.

Shangwu, why are you like this, Brother Mi?"

Hearing Chen Chao mention Master Zhang, Mi Ke recalled some long-lasting memories in his mind. He trembled and said with a dry smile: "After all, he served as an official under me, brother, so he was naturally influenced by me."

Chen Chao smiled and said, "No matter what, I will definitely be written down in the annals of history today. I am the only one who can chase down a whole palace of courtiers with my own strength."

Mi Ke smiled bitterly. As scholars, leaving a name in history is their ultimate pursuit, but how could they ever have thought of leaving their name in the annals of history in this way?

"This is actually a good name, and future generations will praise it."

Chen Chao patted Mi Ke on the shoulder and said gratefully: "Thank you very much, brother."

If Mi Ke hadn't spoken in this way in the hall, His Highness the Crown Prince would have been really helpless, especially after Mr. Zaifu said those words before his death, no one in the whole hall dared to stand up.

Mi Ke shook his head solemnly and said: "Whatever you say, you are all ministers of the imperial court. They eat the food of the people and do these things as they should."

??????55.??????

Chen Chao nodded and didn't say much. He just took a few steps forward, looked at the courtiers, and said, "I heard that the imperial court is discussing the matter of moving the capital. I would also like to know how many people support moving the capital. Please support it now."

The adults who are moving the capital should stand to my right, and those who do not support it should stand to my left."

Chen Chao suddenly said such a sentence, but among the courtiers present, except for the military attache from the Ministry of War, none of the other courtiers moved.

"May I ask, Lord Guardian... How is the war in the north going? Why did the Guardian appear in the Divine Capital today?"

One of the courtiers spoke. He stared at Chen Chao in front of him. Without waiting for Chen Chao to speak, he said to himself: "As far as we know, the war in the north is intense. Even Gufengkou has been captured. At this moment, your lord,

How can I leave the northern border without permission?"

Probably no one could have imagined that someone would question Chen Chao in the hall at this moment.

But before Chen Chao spoke, His Highness the Crown Prince had already said: "It is my secret decree that the Guardian Envoy will return to the capital of the gods. Besides, I have already spoken in advance. The Guardian Envoy has the right to take advantage of him. He can be wherever he wants."

Where and why?"

His Highness the Crown Prince had been silent for so long that many courtiers had forgotten that His Highness the Crown Prince was still there. When he spoke at this moment, the courtiers fell silent again. They originally thought that the loss of the Northern Territory would make His Highness the Crown Prince vent his anger on the Chen Dynasty.

But looking at it now, that is simply not the case.

Chen Chao said: "You guys want to move the capital. As the representative of the northern border, I naturally want to come and take a look. After all, this matter is not a small matter."
