For more than a year, the vassal princes received the imperial decree, handed over the vassal soldiers, returned to the capital to settle down, and behaved with their tail between their legs. I don’t know how much suffocation they have been holding in. Today, it was completely ignited at the court meeting. They actually sat there regardless of the emperor.
On the dragon throne, he cursed wantonly.
Perhaps, they had planned to find an opportunity to cause trouble in the court, provoke him head-on, and embarrass the emperor.
Sheng Hong sneered in his heart, and a coldness flashed in his eyes.
Zhao Ge Lao was yelled and scolded by all the vassal kings. His face was full of anger and he fought back angrily: "I only said that there was some connection, and I didn't say that you were secretly colluding with King Ha Jing. What are you so excited about? Could it be that you are guilty of being a thief!
"
General Yin was also impulsive and had a hot temper. He stood up and said angrily: "I made the conjecture first. If you want to shout or scold, just come at me."
The vassal kings were scolding each other so much that it wouldn't be a problem to scold General Yin one more time.
The King of Jiangxia spoke the most fiercely and impulsively. He not only cursed angrily, but also moved his hand. He punched General Yin on the shoulder.
General Yin's right arm was injured and he should not use excessive force, but his left arm was in good condition. He swung his left fist neatly and hit King Jiang Xia's nose. King Jiang Xia immediately staggered back and his nose was bleeding. Fortunately,
Was caught in time.
As soon as this action was taken, everything was immediately in chaos.
A group of vassal kings joined forces at the same time. Seeing that King Jiangxia suffered a loss, they all rolled up their sleeves and took action.
The military generals quickly stepped forward and stood behind General Yin of their own accord. The civil servants gathered next to Mr. Zhao Ge. They were clearly distinguished from each other and saw that a chaotic battle was about to break out.
"stop!"
The emperor's expression was cold and full of solemnity, and his voice was like the ice of the twelfth lunar month: "You are yelling and cursing in the Jinluan Palace! Do you still put me in your eyes?"
The civil servants and military generals were shocked, and they all raised their hands to plead guilty: "I am a humble minister who is reckless, please forgive me!"
The king of Jiangxia, full of injustice and anger, sneered and said: "The emperor is so majestic!"
"In terms of seniority, you have to call me uncle. It's not just me. Which of the vassal kings who are qualified to stand in the Jinluan Palace is not older than you? You are sitting on the dragon chair by yourself, and you have not regarded me as the vassal in the slightest.
The king sees it in his eyes and treats us like mud, trampling and rubbing us at will."
"According to the imperial decree, we handed over the vassal soldiers and left the vassal territory to return to the capital. The two juniors, Prince Fenyang and Prince An, under the emperor's instructions, controlled and treated us vassal king harshly in every possible way."
"That's all. Now, even if the Divine Guards lose the battle, we have to blame it on us. Without any evidence, they want to blame those 30,000 elite soldiers on us."
"If we continue to remain silent after being wronged and humiliated like this, we are no longer human beings!"
"I want to see what the emperor is going to do with us today!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several vassal kings shouted together: "You're right! It's been such a miserable life! No one dares to step on us! They really think that we are a piece of shit with no temper!"
"Even the emperor cannot confuse right and wrong and do whatever he wants!"
"We must give us justice today!"
The civil servants and military generals were about to open their mouths to fight back, but were forced back by the glares of the vassal kings: "We and the emperor are both descendants of the Sheng family, and we also have the blood of the ancestors of the Sheng family flowing in our bodies. Today we want to ask the emperor for an explanation. Who do you think you are?"
Everything, roll aside!"
All the civil servants and military generals choked back.
Sheng Hong's face was expressionless, and his eyes were filled with coldness.
Before Sheng Hong could get angry, Fenyang County Prince stood up with a sullen face, and said angrily: "You are clearly prepared today and deliberately made a fuss in the Jinluan Palace! You don't take the emperor seriously at all! I am a clan member of the palace.
Zong Zheng will never condone or condone!"
Prince An was young and energetic, and his face was filled with anger. He also stepped forward and said, "Brother, please issue an order to order the imperial guards to enter the palace and 'invite' them all to the prison of the Zongren Mansion."
…
In the chaos, Sheng Hong, who was sitting on the dragon chair, suddenly stood up, got off the dragon chair, and walked to King Jiangxia and other vassal kings.
Everyone was shocked.
In the small court meeting, it is okay for the emperor to be casual in his words and deeds. However, in the large court meeting, the emperor never behaves out of the ordinary. Today he actually stepped down from the throne, which shows that he is really angry...
Sheng Hong is tall and tall, half a head taller than King Jiang Xia. His gaze when looking down is as cold and sharp as a blade:
"It is my will to reduce the vassal state. I have ordered the vassal king to return to the capital and all other arrangements have been made with my approval."
"What are your objections?"
The pressure belonging to the emperor is like a high mountain, suffocating people.
At this moment, King Jiang Xia's momentum was completely suppressed, and his breath seemed to be stuck in his throat, unable to come out.
Sheng Hong glanced at the several vassal kings behind King Jiangxia. Those vassal kings lowered their heads or looked away as if they were being burned. No one dared to look at Sheng Hong.
The Jinluan Hall, which was noisy just a moment ago, was now silent, with only Sheng Hong's condensed voice echoing in the hall.
"Everything in the world is not the king's land, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers."
"You are the vassal kings, guarding the vassal territory for generations. But don't forget, the vassal territory is also the territory of Daqi. The emperor can give you the vassal territory, and he can naturally take it back. I order you to return to the capital and order young generals to take over the vassal army.
, completely in line with the rules set by our ancestors. There is nothing wrong with it."
"Why are you so resentful? And why are you shouting and angry here?"
"In the final analysis, you just regard the domain as your own. You feel that I have taken away your family property. If you think so, you are totally wrong!"
"I will tell you clearly today. I will cut down the vassals and level them down, and return all the territory of Daqi to the emperor. From now on, there will be no more fiefdoms in Daqi."
"It doesn't matter whether you are convinced or not. In short, my mind has been made and no one can shake it."
"Today you made a big fuss in the court, humiliated the important ministers, and despised the emperor. I can't let you off easily. Come here, take all the vassal princes who caused trouble today to the prison of the clan mansion."
…
Jiaofang Hall.
Xie Mingxi was sitting on the phoenix chair in the main hall, and the young female officials were lined up on both sides, reporting in turn.
Xianghui suddenly came in in a hurry, with a strange look on his face.
Xie Mingxi frowned slightly and looked over: "What happened?"
Xianghui reported in a low voice: "To report to the Queen, Eunuch Wei ordered someone to send a message. He said that the feudal princes were making trouble in the Jinluan Palace and even took action. The emperor was furious and ordered the imperial guards to escort the feudal princes to the clan.
Went to prison."
There was no smile on Xie Mingxi's face, and her expression was slightly cold: "Why did you get up?"
Xianghui replied in a low voice: "I heard that it was due to speculation about the origins of the thirty thousand elite soldiers."
Sure enough, it’s for this!
The origins of the 30,000 elite soldiers are a mystery, as if they suddenly emerged from the ground. They caught the Divine Guards off guard and made no one suspicious.
Unexpectedly, the vassal kings would use this matter to launch an attack today.
Xie Mingxi's eyes flashed with coldness, and she stood up: "Follow me to the Qing Palace."
