12.Chapter 12 Strange courtiers

Although I didn't go to the morning court, because an assassin came to assassinate me last night, I had to meet with several ministers. On the one hand, I wanted to report that I was safe, and on the other hand, I wanted to show off to the assassins who were lurking in the dark. You see, even though you sent the assassin

Come here, but labor and management are still living well.

Xia Yan carefully selected three people among more than fifty civil and military ministers.

Pang Xiu, Yuchi Liancheng, Di Qing.

I originally thought that these three people were people close to Xia Yan, or they were the most virtuous and respected ministers of Xia State.

But after listening to Xia Yan's explanation, my admiration for him goes far beyond the surging river.

Let’s talk about Pang Xiu first. He is the father of Pang Yi, the leader of the Royal Forest Army yesterday. He is nearly 70 years old and will retire in one year and three months. He currently holds the position of Grand Master and is quite famous in the court.

, but due to my old age, my eyesight is not very good, and I see double images.

Next is Yuchi Liancheng, the Marquis of Yuchi, who is Xia Yan's uncle. He is a relative of the emperor, but he has no real power due to his loose nature. However, he likes to exaggerate and is nicknamed Liancheng Loudspeaker.

Finally, there is Di Qing, a famous general of the Xia Kingdom. I could not be more familiar with this person. The little finger my father cut off belonged to this person, but because of that battle, my father's leg was damaged.

He was lame. Looking at personal grudges, Di Qing was considered the most reliable of the three. Unfortunately, years of fighting had left a lot of root causes of disease. Di Qing shivered when he looked at people.

"Why did you choose these three people?" I asked curiously.

Xia Yan explained calmly: "Because these three people will never suspect that the king sitting on the dragon throne is fake! And these three people are the best to deal with!"

I looked at him with contempt. These three people all belong to the group of people with obvious physical defects. If even they can see it, wouldn't I be ashamed of my acting skills that I have practiced for many years?

"Is there anything difficult to deal with?"

Xia Yan's eyes suddenly became serious: "Yes!"

"who?"

"Yan Guozi, Yan Xiaoqing! My younger brother, Xia Huanzhi! Imperial Master, Liu Chi! My Taifu, Batuzi, Dali Temple Shaoqing, Pei Yuan..."

"Wait a minute..." I stopped hastily, and there was no end to it. Can so many people see that the ministers of the Xia Kingdom are too damn scary? They all have piercing eyes.

Xia Yan looked at me with a half-smile but said, "Are you scared?"

I looked upright and held my chest high: "What am I afraid of? It's not me who should be afraid, it's you!"

"Haha!" Xia Yanwu laughed to himself. Seeing that the time was about the same, he said: "Just remember the personalities of these three people and do what I say. As long as you deal with these three people, you will be fine tomorrow."

There’s so much trouble!”

I wrote them down one by one and sent eunuchs to come and help me wash.

The old eunuch who came in last night asked me where I was going to sleep. He was in his fifties, but his hands and feet were very agile. Xia Yan said that he was a spy sent to him by his brother Xia Huanzhi, and told me to be careful in everything.

, try to say as little as possible in front of this person.

So I was very silent from beginning to end. Although Xia Yan was good-looking, he was very scary when he didn't speak. I looked in the mirror myself and even I was shocked. At this time, I let Guang Fu serve me with no expression on my face.

From the corner of my eye, I caught him peeking at me cautiously. Seeing that I didn't react at all, I boldly asked, "Your Majesty, are you unhappy about the assassination yesterday?"
