Prime Minister Xiao and General Sima couldn't help but look at each other.
In the blink of an eye, the emperor took the lead and arrived in front of everyone with a large group of royal guards.
"Meet the Emperor!"
Prime Minister Xiao and General Sima hesitated for a moment, but finally bowed down and saluted.
"Meet the Emperor!"
In the Li Mansion, all the officers and soldiers knelt down at the same time and saluted the emperor.
"Let's all be flat."
The emperor said calmly.
"See you, Father!"
The eldest prince also hurriedly stepped forward and saluted the emperor.
"snort!"
The emperor stared at the eldest prince with majestic eyes, and then snorted coldly, appearing very indifferent.
"Father..."
The eldest prince was startled. He could see that the emperor was very dissatisfied with him.
"Xiao Aiqing, Sima Aiqing, what are you bringing your troops here for?"
The emperor looked at Prime Minister Xiao and General Sima and asked.
"Back to the emperor, we are here to capture the traitor Ye Yunfei!
Ye Yunfei is a little thief who is cruel in nature and has no law. He has committed numerous murders and committed heinous crimes.
If he is not arrested and brought to justice, the refugees will be angry!"
Prime Minister Xiao took a step forward and spoke loudly to the emperor.
"good!
Your Majesty, the little thief Ye Yunfei plotted against Commander Leng of our Kyoto army, which made the whole army share the same hatred. If the little thief Ye Yunfei is not arrested and brought to justice, I am afraid that the morale of the army will be unstable!"
General Sima also took a step forward and said loudly.
"Meet the Emperor!
Your Majesty, please make the decision for our Li family!
Ye Yunfei, a little thief, broke into our Li Mansion for no reason, committed evil crimes, and killed many members of our Li family, so he asked the emperor to uphold justice for our Li family!"
When Li Jianjun saw the emperor coming, he struggled hard, came to the emperor, knelt down on the ground, and started to cry loudly.
"Please, Your Majesty, seek justice for our Li family!"
The other members of the Li family also knelt down and shouted one by one.
"Let's get up first and then talk."
The emperor waved his hand and said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Li Jianjun and the people of the Li family stood up one after another.
"Could it be that the Ye Yunfei you are talking about is Master Ye Yunfei, whom I personally conferred the title of National Scholar?
I think there may be some misunderstanding in this."
The emperor glanced at Ye Yunfei, showed a kind smile to Ye Yunfei, and then spoke loudly.
When everyone heard this, they were all stunned. What the emperor said was clearly intended to favor Ye Yunfei.
"This old emperor is quite interesting. He asks questions knowingly."
Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
"Your Majesty, this is definitely not a misunderstanding!
The murders committed by the little thief Ye Yunfei are all solid evidence, and there is no room for his quibbles."
After hearing the emperor's words, Prime Minister Xiao couldn't help but be stunned, then raised his voice and said loudly.
"Your Majesty, please order that the little thief Ye Yunfei be arrested immediately and sentenced to death!
Otherwise, the entire Kyoto army may have unstable military morale!"
General Sima took a step forward and shouted.
"It seems that what the emperor said is not very effective."
Ye Yunfei watched with cold eyes, seeing the scene clearly.
Prime Minister Xiao and General Sima were both a little aggressive when facing the emperor.
This is not like a normal relationship between king and minister.
"snort!
You are so brave!"
Suddenly, a cold shout sounded.
Next to the emperor, there is already a beautiful middle-aged woman, exuding an aura of nobility.
"Master Ye Yunfei is my savior, but you keep slandering him as a thief.
Could it be that you two really don’t take our royal family, the Qin family, seriously?”
The middle-aged beautiful woman shouted coldly.
"I've met my mother."
When the emperor saw this beautiful middle-aged woman, he took two steps closer and stood with her.
"The Queen Mother!"
Prime Minister Xiao and General Sima's expressions changed drastically when they saw this middle-aged beauty.
This empress dowager was once famous and a very powerful figure in the Qin Empire.
She used to have strength in the late stage of the Xuan Realm, and was one of the top masters in the Qin Empire.
But later, he encountered a powerful enemy, was seriously injured, and lost all his cultivation.
Despite this, the prestige established by the Empress Dowager is still difficult to completely erase in the minds of many senior royal officials.
Moreover, a few days ago, Ye Yunfei helped the Empress Dowager treat her illness and restored her strength. The news had long been spread in the imperial city and everyone knew about it.
Therefore, for a while, Prime Minister Xiao and General Sima were a little afraid of the Empress Dowager.
"alright.
I will send someone to investigate the matters concerning Prime Minister Xiao, General Sima, and Master Ye Yunfei as soon as possible.
You take people back first.
If there are results, I will send someone to inform you."
The emperor said calmly.
"emperor……"
Prime Minister Xiao and General Sima said loudly at the same time.
"oh?
As the king of a country, doesn’t what the emperor says have any effect?”
The Empress Dowager's gaze suddenly became sharp, staring coldly at Prime Minister Xiao and General Sima.
Prime Minister Xiao and General Sima's expressions changed.
"Okay, let's leave now!"
Finally, Prime Minister Xiao looked gloomy, took a deep breath, spoke loudly, and then turned around and left.
General Sima didn't even say anything about his resignation. He just waved his hand and left with the soldiers.
"It seems that you, as the emperor, have suffered quite a lot over the past few years."
The Empress Dowager looked at the backs of Prime Minister Xiao and General Sima, with some hidden murderous intent in her eyes, and said with a sneer.
The emperor smiled awkwardly.
"Your Majesty, please give our Li family justice!"
When Li Jianjun saw Prime Minister Xiao and General Sima leaving, he couldn't help but became anxious. He suddenly knelt down in front of the emperor again and shouted loudly.
"Li Jianjun, you dare to provoke even Master Ye Yunfei, I can't help you.
What's more, Master Ye Yunfei is a national scholar. In terms of official position, he is not much worse than you.
Please resolve the conflicts between you yourself, I will not interfere."
The emperor glanced at Li Jianjun and said calmly.
This Li Jianjun belongs to Prime Minister Xiao's camp. He has always been obedient to the emperor, so the emperor naturally doesn't have a good look towards him.
"Our Li family is finished..."
After listening to the emperor's words, Li Jianjun's face showed a look of real despair.
Prime Minister Xiao and General Sima have left, and the emperor doesn't care about the Li family's affairs at all. It can be said that the Li family has no one to rely on.
"Master Ye Yunfei, do you need any help?"
The emperor came towards Ye Yunfei, very enthusiastic.
"Master Ye Yunfei, Yue Su came late, which made Master Ye Yunfei feel wronged.
Yuesu is here to confess to Master Ye Yunfei."
The Empress Dowager also came to Ye Yunfei and bowed before her. Her manners were dignified and her behavior was measured. She was deeply impressed by the charm of palace etiquette.
"I'm fine, you guys are considerate.
There is no need for you to get involved in my affairs."
Ye Yunfei nodded and replied.
My good impression of the emperor and the empress dowager has improved a lot.
"Master Ye Yunfei, you are Yue Su's great benefactor. If someone dares to provoke you, how can Yue Su ignore it?"
