009. How dare you, a mere slave, deceive your master?
"Your Highness, are you okay..."
Eunuch Wei rushed into the palace in a hurry and was about to speak.
But when he saw the two corpses in the hall, his pupils suddenly shrank and he froze on the spot.
He recognized the owners of the two corpses at a glance.
Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Li Xingtian!
Li Xingtian’s grandson, Li Mu!
But how could these two people die in Xuanqing Palace?
Who killed them?!
"this……"
Eunuch Wei looked at Wu Sifan in confusion, "Your Highness, I wonder what is going on?"
After watching King Wu leave, he accidentally saw Wang Qingping and others rushing to the palace. He was afraid that something would happen to Wu Sifan, so he rushed to Xuanqing Palace.
Unexpectedly, he saw the body of Li Xingtian’s grandfather and grandson.
How could this not make him confused?!
"Eunuch Wei?"
Wu Sifan narrowed his eyes slightly and snorted: "What's going on? I still want to ask you! Since my father is in this palace and you are not guarding me, why did you wait for the assassin to kill you before you came here?
Late?!"
Um?
Eunuch Wei's eyes narrowed, "Your Highness, are you questioning this old slave?!"
Although he calls himself an old slave, inadvertently, a power unique to the Hedao realm emanates from Eunuch Wei's body and presses towards Wu Sifan.
Although he followed the wishes of the late king, he supported Wu Sifan's accession to the throne and protected Wu Sifan's safety.
But this does not mean that he will succumb to Wu Sifan and let him be driven.
Except for the late king, no prince can make him surrender!
In his heart, Wu Sifan was just in charge of the throne.
After the late king regained consciousness, he continued to be his eldest prince.
And during this period, everything he does must be controlled, and he must not make decisions that affect the pattern of the Dawu Dynasty.
To put it simply, Wu Sifan is currently just playing the role of a tool man.
But at this time, in just a few hours, Wu Sifan had really assumed the identity of the prince and dared to yell at him like this.
The enthronement ceremony has not yet been held.
Does he really think he is King Wu?!
Eunuch Wei snorted coldly and said: "Your Highness, please pay attention to your identity!"
"presumptuous!"
However, at this moment, before Wu Sifan could open his mouth, an angry shout sounded in the hall.
Dian Wei suddenly took a step forward, looking at Eunuch Wei like a peerless ferocious beast.
boom!
Eunuch Wei's body trembled, as if he had been struck by lightning. His whole aura was instantly defeated, and he couldn't help but take two steps back.
Eunuch Wei suddenly looked shocked and looked at Dian Wei in shock, "Later stage of Hedao...who are you?!"
Dian Wei snorted coldly, his eyes showing murderous intent, "Your Highness, please pay attention to your identity? Who are you?!"
"How dare you, a mere slave, deceive your master?!"
As he spoke, an even more terrifying pressure enveloped the hall, suppressing Eunuch Wei.
Eunuch Wei looked pale and was trembling physically and mentally.
At this time, Wu Sifan stepped forward and waved his hand, signaling Dian Wei to step back.
Then he looked at Eunuch Wei, with a cold face, and said: "Eunuch Wei, since my father is here in this palace, I am the king of Dawu. Even if he has not ascended the throne at this moment, he is also the prince."
"As the commander of the Royal Guards whom my father trusted most during his lifetime, you left your post without authorization, and the following offenses were committed. It seems that you did not take your father's last edict to heart at all, nor did you take this palace seriously.
!”
Eunuch Wei's face turned pale and he was speechless.
At this moment, he was so confused that he had no idea what was happening.
Where did this strange Hedao strongman come from?
How could he obey Wu Sifan's orders?!
Originally, he was planning to warn Wu Sifan that even if he inherited the throne, he must learn to recognize himself and carry out the plan of the late king.
During this period, he was responsible for protecting Wu Sifan's safety, but Wu Sifan had better keep a low profile. Don't think that becoming King Wu means you can do whatever you want!
But at this moment, he suddenly discovered that the situation seemed to be different from what he thought...
"I am asking you something!"
Wu Sifan snorted again, his tone a little serious.
It's okay for others to bully me. As my father's most trusted minister during his lifetime, your father has just passed away, and you actually want to bully me.
Do you really think that I am still the good-for-nothing prince that you used to let you flatten and shape?!
Eunuch Wei came back to his senses, his expression extremely ugly.
He glanced at Dian Wei, who was watching him coldly, with fear in his heart. He took a deep breath and bowed to Wu Sifan: "I am guilty, please forgive me!"
Before he could figure out the specific situation, he decided to lower his head temporarily and wait and see.
Wu Sifan sneered and waved his hand.
Only then did Dian Wei regain his momentum and retreat.
Eunuch Wei's body relaxed, but his expression remained uncertain.
Wu Sifan said coldly: "I want to ask you, as the commander of the imperial guards, what are you doing when you are not in the palace to protect my safety?"
Eunuch Wei gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "The king passed away. In order to prevent palace changes, after announcing the king's last edict, the old slave made some preparations to ensure that His Highness ascended the throne safely. Therefore, the escort was late. Please invite Your Highness."
Forgive me."
Wu Sifan smiled coldly, not knowing whether to believe it or not.
But he did not continue to pursue him. He glanced at the bodies of Li Xingtian and his grandson Li Xingtian in the palace, and said: "The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and his eldest grandson Li Mu wanted to take action against me before, but the following offenses have been punished by the guards of this palace."
Wei execution."
"But according to our great martial law, if the following offenders commit crimes and assassinate princes, the nine tribes must be killed!"
"Now I order you to immediately send people to blockade the Li Mansion and control everyone in the Li Mansion. No one should be leaked!"
"What?!"
Eunuch Wei was horrified. Kill the nine tribes?!
"Your Highness, this must not be done!"
After coming back to his senses, Eunuch Wei quickly tried to persuade him, "Li Xingtian and Li Mu have offended His Highness. It would be a pity to die, but if hundreds of people in the Li family are killed, it will definitely cause turmoil in the royal city..."
Wu Sifan waved his hand coldly and interrupted: "According to my great martial law, if you want to assassinate a prince, should you kill the nine tribes?"
Eunuch Wei's face changed and he said: "The law is indeed true, but His Highness has not been injured after all, and the culprits Li Xingtian and Li Mu have been executed. If the nine clans of the Li family are killed again, it will probably cause a rebellion. His Highness has not yet ascended the throne, so we must
Think twice before you act!”
"The emperor breaks the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people!"
Wu Sifan was unmoved and said coldly: "Since my Dawu law is like this, then I will act in accordance with the law. I will bear the consequences of it myself!"
Since we have said that we will kill the nine Li Xingtian clans, we must keep our word!
Wu Sifan has not forgotten the desperate feeling of approaching death just now.
At that time, Li Xingtian never thought about holding back!
If SARS had arrived in time, would he still be able to stand here and talk normally?
Wu Sifan was not a murderous person, but he was not a soft-hearted person either.
He always takes revenge on the spot when he has a grudge!
What's more, Li Xingtian and Li Mu both died indirectly in their own hands.
Cut the weeds without removing the roots, but they will grow again when the spring breeze blows!
Why don't you kill the Li family now and wait for them to take revenge on you in the future?
As for the consequences?
hehe!
At this moment, he has two powerful men in the Hedao Realm guarding him, and there are 5,000 Xuanjia troops on standby at any time.
He wanted to see who else dared to take the lead in this royal city!
Wu Sifan's eyes were cold and murderous.
