C2704 The Dust Has Settled(part I)
Eunuch Wang suddenly regretted lighting up the sandalwood incense. The Emperor had been smelling sandalwood for a long time and had developed immunity to it. Not only was it unable to wake him up, but it also had the opposite effect.
"Recently, has something interesting happened in the country?" The emperor suddenly spoke.
"Reporting to the Emperor!" Eunuch Wang shuddered and bowed: "There really is an interesting matter."
"What is it?" The Emperor asked.
"The human race's Combat King Dongfang Qingyu has brought a few men with him to the eastern barbarians and razed more than half of the eastern barbarians' cities. However, he was able to escape unscathed. For this reason, the prime minister is discussing how to convict the human race's Combat King." Justice and justice.
"Why should we convict him?" The Emperor was puzzled, "Shouldn't the cities of the Pingdong island have contributed?"
"The Eastern Yi Island Kingdom sent an emissary, saying that the human race's War King had acted rashly at the border and initiated a war, destroying the peace between the two countries. He is a great sinner, and he hopes that the Prime Minister will punish Dongfang Qingyu for his crimes." The King was fair and just.
"How did the Prime Minister respond?" The Emperor asked.
"The Prime Minister said that the human race's War King was acting on his own accord and had nothing to do with the Imperial Court. Let the envoys of the Eastern Wasteland wait until the matter is investigated thoroughly." The king was fair.
"How do we investigate this? It's a good thing to attack the eastern barbarians." The emperor snorted.
"The Emperor is right, but..." Eunuch Wang looked troubled.
"But what? Is there anything else you can't say?" The Emperor asked.
"It's like this. Some people said that the human race's Combat King's killing intent is too strong, and it will affect his image as an outsider. They suggested suppressing the human race's Combat King." It was fair and just.
"Who said that?" The Emperor's tone was cold.
"This servant does not know." Eunuch Wang shook his head.
"Pass on the six doors." The Emperor opened his mouth, and a guard answered before leaving.
"Other than this, is there anything else?" the Emperor continued to ask.
"There is also the West Pacific Squadron bombarding the East China Sea of the Imperial Court, killing, robbing, and so on. The people of the Imperial Court have suffered many casualties." Lord Wang was fair.
"West Pacific Squadron? Is it a Western Pacific Fleet?" The Emperor's face was solemn.
"Yes!" Justice of the Lord.
"This is a military matter, why did no one tell me?" The Emperor questioned.
"The 'General's Estate', the Prime Minister and the Minister of War both have a letter. At that time, the Emperor was praying. So... " Eunuch Wang said in a low voice.
Eunuch Wang did not continue, but the Emperor understood what he meant. Praying for blessings. When the time comes, nothing can disturb him. That was what he said, but he said it to deal with normal things. Military affairs were naturally not part of it, but the people below were absolutely confident. Not even reporting the crisis of the nation's destruction, this was simply preposterous. His expression was ugly as he said angrily, "A bunch of people who are fawning over Ah Yi!"
If the others disturbed him while he was praying, he might really have killed them. However, he could not kill the prime minister and the Minister of War as he pleased. Without a reasonable reason, even if he was the emperor, he could not easily kill a high-ranking official. If the emperor wanted the officials to die, the officials had to die. It could only be used under special circumstances. Under normal circumstances, he still had to follow the rules. He was not an outsider even if he was the emperor.
The Minister of War and the Prime Minister were aware of this, but none of them dared to risk their lives to admonish him. What did this mean? It meant that his subjects were all cowardly people who did not want to take any risks for the safety of the country.
Huala!
A table full of neatly arranged memorials was swept to the ground by the Emperor. Eunuch Wang was so frightened that he fell to his knees.
"It's fine if you don't want to look at some grand words." The Emperor's expression returned to normal, as if nothing had happened. He calmly said, "Continue, what is the current situation of the Western Sea Fleet?"
"The Western Sea Fleet has been temporarily forced to retreat." Lord Wang said.
" Oh? Did the General's Estate make a move?" The Emperor's tone was calm, but the killing intent in his heart was rising. Compared to the officials of the Imperial Court who were afraid of death, he was more afraid of his subordinates being disobedient. Especially the General's Estate, if they didn't listen to the transfer order this time, they could send troops. Next time, could he directly bring troops into the Imperial Palace?
This was a huge taboo. No one who was the Emperor liked their subordinates to not follow the rules.
"The General's Estate has requested to fight, but the Ministry of War did not agree, so the General's Estate did not send troops." Eunuch Wang replied.
" Oh? The General's Estate didn't send troops?" The Emperor found it strange. It wasn't the soldiers sent out by the General's Estate. Who else could force the western Pacific Squadron to retreat? He didn't think that it was the Fourth Guard, but that the General's Estate had a big tail. But the Fourth Guard was his direct line of descent, and only his orders could move. If his orders didn't arrive, even if the border was already broken, the country was unstable, so the Fourth Guard did not dare to move.
"It's the power of the people, under the leadership of 'Green Sand City'. The people shed their heads and shed their blood, and after paying a lot of price, it forced back many of the Western Ocean Squadron's attacks. Oh right, the human race's Combat King Dongfang Qingyu also attacked, and it was said that he had made a lot of contributions. He has destroyed many warships of the Western Ocean Fleet. " Justice, Lord Wang.
"Is that so? This Combat King from the human race is not bad." A smile appeared on the Emperor's face.
At this moment, the guards outside reported that the Six Fans Gate had arrived. Although Hai Fugui was the second in command of the Six Fans Gate, he came out of the Palace. Most of the time, Hai Fugui was the one who needed to attack the Face Sage.
"This servant greets the Emperor. May the Emperor be at ease!" Hai Fugui was still a few steps away when he knelt down.
"No need for formalities, rise!" the Emperor said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Hai Fu became noble and lowered his eyes. He did not dare to overstep the rules.
"You can get up too!" It was as if the Emperor had just noticed that Eunuch Wang was still kneeling.
"Thank you, Emperor!" Eunuch Wang carefully got up.
"Hai Fugui, Zhen called you over to listen to what has happened recently. What matters does the Imperial Court have?" The Emperor asked.
"Yes!" In the Court of Judicial Review, the person in charge of Haifu wanted to solve the case, but very few people knew that he was still in charge of internal security and was in charge of observing the affairs of the people.
When the Emperor directly summoned the internal guards, the civil and military officials of the Imperial Court were all uneasy. When they summoned Hai Fugui, the civil and military officials would not think too much and think that the Emperor wanted to ask about some case.
Hai Fugui had not been summoned by the Emperor for a long time and had used all his strength. He told everything that had happened recently and his words were clear. His logic was very light. The boring things were vivid and interesting. It was as if he was listening to a story.
"You're saying that in the crisis of the Supreme Hell Tiger Staff, the human race's Combat King Dongfang Qingyu has contributed a lot?" The Emperor asked.
"Yes!" Hai Fugui nodded.
"Why did I hear that this human race's Combat King Dongfang Qingyu has a bad reputation? He suppressed dissidents, envied those with talent, and was narrow-minded. He is a villain? Furthermore... "The Emperor's tone was cold, and it carried a trace of killing intent. " He even befriended civil and military officials? "
Hai Fugui's sweat immediately started to sweat.
...
Happiness Inn.
"It's too early!" When Dongfang Qingyu went up to the third floor, he found that there was no one there. The person who was treating him had not arrived yet. It was definitely intentional.
"Xiao Shen Hai's character is too bad!" Toad Princess said. It was Xiao Shen Hai who invited Dongfang Qingyu to the appointment. There were only two minutes left before the appointment, and she and Dongfang Qingyu had already arrived. However, Xiao Shen Hai was nowhere to be seen. It was impossible for something to delay him. There was only one possibility - Desolate Shen Hai was using this opportunity to insult Dongfang Qingyu.
"A small trick, it's not worth mentioning." Dongfang Qingyu smiled and pulled the angry Toad Princess to sit down.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Great God. I met Zhiqiu on the way. We hit it off at first sight and couldn't help but say a few more words. We accidentally forgot the time. When Zhiqiu heard that I came to meet the Great God, she begged me to come along. I thought that Great God wasn't a petty person, so I agreed. I hope Great God doesn't take offense. " Just as Dongfang Qingyu and the others sat down, Desolate Shen Hai appeared. He said that he was embarrassed, but there wasn't the slightest bit of embarrassment on his face. Behind him was Tang Zhiqiu. His expression was very calm, but Toad Princess saw a flash of cold light in his eyes.
He did not come with good intentions.
"One person, two people, and three people. It is the same for me." Dongfang Qingyu said faintly.
"Let's order first. Whatever Great God likes to eat, just order. Speaking of which, since we have known Great God for so long, this is the first time that we are treating Great God to a meal. We must let Great God enjoy himself to his heart's content." Xiao Shen Hai said generously.
"I came over after eating." Dongfang Qingyu said.
"Dongfang Qingyu is a great god. What good things have you never eaten? Shen Hai, your flattery is really flattering me." Tang Zhiqiu suddenly said.
"Yes, yes, yes. What Zhiqiu said is right. I was being reckless." Xiao Shen Hai wasn't angry. He looked at Dongfang Qingyu, "Then let's follow Great God's order and not eat anymore."
"Let's talk about it. Everyone is very busy." Dongfang Qingyu said. Although he didn't like Xiao Shen Hai in the past, he still felt that he was a figure. But now, he only felt disgust towards Xiao Shen Hai. This was too worldly. This kind of smoothness shouldn't be called smoothness, it should be called acting.
"I know that Great God is also planning for Black Tortoise City. " Xiao Shen Hai said.
"Who are you working with now?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.
"I'm not following anyone. I'm myself." Desolate Shen Hai said proudly.
"You don't want me to give up on Black Tortoise City, right?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.
"Great God, do you think you still have a chance?" Xiao Shen Hai looked at him.
"If there is no dust falling, who can be sure that nothing will happen?" Dongfang Qingyu said calmly.
"I know that Great God is unwilling in her heart, but I also hope that Great God can understand the reality." Desolate Shen Hai said.
"Dongfang Qingyu, in fact, if we don't become enemies, we will be good partners." Tang Zhiqiu suddenly said.
Dongfang Qingyu looked at Tang Zhiqiu and then looked at Xiao Shen Hai. He suddenly laughed, causing the two of them to be confused.
