Bang! In the Sixth Department Hall, Shangshu Ling Kou Si, who was sitting on the throne, stood up and slapped the table. Veins popped out on his forehead, and his eyes were as angry as the sky.
The six ministers stood below, as silent as a cicada, not daring to say a word.
"What a Cang Hongshen, what a Mu Feng! They made a fool of us all!"
Kou Si's voice was cold and he roared in a low voice.
This morning, they immediately received the decree issued by the Five Emperors Palace, which was to confer the title of newly promoted Hanlin bachelor.
And this Hanlin bachelor was none other than Mu Feng, who was supposed to die on the way.
The moment he received the news, Kou Si was stunned, but then his chest ignited with uncontrollable anger.
He knew that he had been tricked! Not only did he lose six ministers, but the reputation of the six ministries was also tarnished.
On the contrary, the cabinet not only suffered no losses, but also regained talents from young masters like Mu Feng.
Kou Si has never suffered such a big loss, how can he swallow this breath.
The faces of the six ministers were equally ugly. The six ministers who had been lost were all their direct subordinates, but now they found out that they had been tricked. They were going crazy.
"Master Kou! We can't just swallow this breath. I'm afraid this Mu Feng has been connected with Cang Hongshen for a long time! He deliberately faked his death and Cang Hongshen was probably behind it! This kid is an accomplice and we must not be lenient!"
Su Yuanqing, the Minister of Civil Affairs, had a serious expression on his face, and stood out in front of Kou Si.
"Master Su is right! It's all Mu Feng's fault. Our six departments treat each other with courtesy, but he teamed up with the cabinet to deceive us. How can we spare him lightly?"
"We can't deal with Cang Hongshen, is it possible that we can't deal with these mere ants?"
"We must avenge this revenge, otherwise how can we explain it to our other subordinates!"
"..." Other ministers also agreed, and they all hated the unmasked Mu Feng.
Kou Si pressed his hand, and the six ministers who were originally filled with indignation suddenly became quiet.
"This Mu Feng is just a nobody. It's not difficult for us to deal with him! But have you ever thought about why the five majesties were willing to canonize that Mu Feng?"
Kou Si suddenly asked.
For a moment, the six ministers became quiet, and they finally came to their senses.
When news of Mu Feng's death returned to the capital, Emperor Tang kept his promise and sent people to arrest the six ministers and kill their nine clans.
The premise of all this is that Mu Feng is dead! But now, Mu Feng has come back from the dead. Apparently Mu Feng faked his death before.
It would have been fine if he had faked his death and kept his name anonymous, but Mu Feng came out with a high profile, and Cang Hongshen even tried to seek an official position for him again.
What surprised them even more was that the Five Emperors Palace actually agreed.
No matter what reasons Cang Hongshen used to defend Mu Feng, they could not hide the fact that Mu Feng had deceived the emperor by pretending to die.
Those five majesties are not fools. They are all far-sighted. How could they not see this?
But the fact is that the Five Emperors Palace still canonized Mu Feng and did not even mention Mu Feng's fake death, which made everyone present feel incredible and even a little horrified.
"That's right! Your Majesty has always disliked this kind of bullying behavior, but this time..." Ji Yinghao, the Minister of Punishment, frowned and couldn't help but look at Kou Si.
The other five ministers also looked at Kou Si, wanting to find the corresponding answer from their immediate superior.
Kou Si frowned and said: "I'm afraid Cang Hongshen must have paid a huge price this time to get rid of the crime of bullying the emperor for Mu Feng! You also know that Cang Hongshen is a veteran of the two dynasties.
Even I can’t see through the cards he holds!”
The six ministers all stopped talking, although the six ministries and the cabinet had been fighting fiercely in recent years.
But they knew very well that without the support of the Han Emperor, they would not be qualified to fight against the cabinet.
The two-dynasty veteran who founded the Hanlin Academy and revitalized the cabinet had such a high level that even their boss Kou Si often felt ashamed of himself.
Especially Kou Si, after so many years of struggling in the officialdom, he keenly discovered that Cang Hongshen didn't take him seriously at all. This old guy's real opponent was in the Palace of the Five Emperors.
And this discovery made Kou Si become more and more afraid of Cang Hongshen.
"Next, the six of us can no longer fight alone!"
Kou Si suddenly spoke.
The six ministers looked at each other, realizing what Kou Si meant, and they all bent down and held their hands.
It seems that it is time for the six of them to form a party and fight. Otherwise, it will be difficult to compete with the cabinet! Deep in the Palace of the Five Emperors.
Five shadows flickered faintly in the dark hall.
"Mu Feng faked his death, which is already a crime of deceiving the emperor! Emperor Qin, why did you agree to Cang Hongshen's canonization of Mu Feng?"
Emperor Han asked somewhat unhappily.
Emperor Qin said calmly: "Because Cang Hongshen made an offer that I can't refuse!"
"What conditions?"
Emperor Han asked in astonishment.
The other three emperors also looked at Emperor Qin's shadow with curiosity in their eyes.
"A seal within the Demon Suppression Wall!"
Emperor Qin said happily.
At this time, Emperor Han fell silent, rarely saying anything else.
Emperor Tang said in astonishment: "This old guy has been clinging to the sealing method for so many years. He said that it was an agreement between the late emperor and him and he was not allowed to give it to us without authorization! Now, he is actually willing to give a seal to Mu Feng?"
"Haha! It seems that this old guy attaches great importance to that Mu Feng. He has lived long enough, and guarding those seals over the years has done a lot of damage to himself. I'm afraid his lifespan is not long! This old guy may not have much left.
We plan to regard this Mu Feng as his heir!"
Emperor Ming said with murderous intent.
"Heir?
What a joke! There is only one person in the entire Holy Dynasty, Cang Hongshen. If he is not here, no matter how many successors we choose, it will be useless! When the time comes, who else can stop our plan?"
Emperor Song's tone was gentle, but his words were very arrogant.
"What the Emperor of the Song Dynasty said is true! Talents like Cang Hongshen are rare in the ages. If he can really find a successor, he is just an insignificant ant to us! Emperor Han, you don't have to worry anymore. There are differences between monarchs and ministers, so why bother?
Why do you care so much with your ministers?"
Emperor Tang said calmly.
"snort!"
In the darkness, Emperor Han heard a cold snort of displeasure, but he didn't say anything else.
"Yes! We must focus on the overall situation and should not limit ourselves to the struggle of the Holy Dynasty! Our real battlefield should be the entire continent, and our real opponents are Yin Yang Villa, Five Elements Taoist Temple, Jiang Family and other giant forces on the continent.
!”
Emperor Qin spoke slowly, his voice full of pride and excitement.
"Hmph! If it weren't for the oath made by the late emperor and Cang Hongshen's obstruction! Back then, we joined forces to kill the Eternal Emperor, extract the luck of the Eternal Temple, and then use the things under the Demon Suppression Wall, we all have hope
Break through the shackles, conquer the continent, and eventually become the overlord of the entire continent!"
Emperor Ming said coldly.
"Keep waiting! Such a day will not be far away from us!"
