Chapter 94 Morality? He has no

"What did you just say? Say it again, I didn't hear clearly."

The Emperor of Southern Yan sat up straight on the dragon throne.

The emperor, who had been somewhat lazy and casual, became more majestic at this moment, putting great pressure on the old imperial teacher of Northern Frontier and others.

The old imperial preceptor of Northern Frontier felt his throat was dry, he bowed before the Emperor of Southern Yan and spoke again.

"Your Majesty's intention is to exchange... Governor Yan for us. As long as Your Majesty agrees to negotiate, everything else is negotiable..."

He read out this sentence in one breath, not even daring to delay for a moment.

It was simply because he felt that the Emperor of Southern Yan was accumulating anger at this moment, and it seemed that it would burst out in the next second.

The Emperor of Southern Yan stopped smiling.

The imperial crown on his head swayed slightly, and then he looked up at the ministers below.

"My dear ministers, what are your opinions on this matter?"

The civil and military officials became noisy in an instant, and some were even whispering to each other.

Only the second prince Yan Liuchen secretly raised his eyebrows and glanced at the officials below, then lowered his eyes and said nothing, his eyes on his nose, his nose on his mouth, and his mouth on his heart.

The eldest prince Yan Xuanjing's eyes became lively.

He winked at one of the ministers, and someone immediately stood up.

"Your Majesty, if we truly follow what the Northern Frontier Kingdom has said, and we can successfully achieve peace by simply handing over the murderer, I hope you will agree!"

The elderly minister suddenly knelt down on the spot.

As he spoke, many people became interested.

"Your Majesty, it was Commander Yan's fault for killing Princess Su. He completely disregarded the overall situation and should bear the consequences!"

"Trading one person for years, or even decades, of peace, will allow the Southern Yan Kingdom to recuperate and strengthen its military. This is a good thing, Your Majesty..."

"I agree..."

"I second the motion!"

With one person taking the lead.

Now, half of the officials in the court actually think that this is feasible.

Some generals were so angry that they were shaking all over and their faces turned red.

But they were tongue-tied and didn't know how to refute the various national justice, benevolence, righteousness and morality talked about by these civil officials.

Among these officials, there were many royal relatives, princes and dukes. This time, none of them could hold back and spoke in agreement.

The Emperor of Southern Yan looked at those who came to ask for orders calmly, and his expression did not change at all because of what they said.

As a target of all officials, Yan Fengxiao had long been accustomed to such scenes. After all, he had offended quite a few people here.

Not to mention the civil and military officials, he had even beaten the royal family members when he wanted to collect debts before, but this was because these people were too proud to lose face because of a few hundred or a thousand taels of silver, so they suffered in silence and did not make it public.

However, this grudge had already been formed.

Normally, Yan Fengxiao is a favorite of the emperor, and they cannot touch him easily, but how can they not rush to do such a good thing as kicking someone when he is down?

The Southern Yan Emperor spoke slowly, "If I agree to hand over Governor Yan in exchange for temporary peace today, and if the Northern Frontier demands that I hand you over tomorrow, do you think I should agree as well?"

As soon as the emperor said this, the expressions of the officials who were making requests below changed instantly.

Even the ministers who were shouting happily just now turned pale in an instant and were speechless for a moment.

If they agreed, no one could guarantee that the emperor would be furious and send them to Northern Xinjiang as gifts...

That's it, people don't feel pain unless the knife is stabbed into their own body. Now that their interests are involved, everyone is speechless.

However, he still had some stubbornness.

"Your Majesty, after all, it was Commander Yan who was at fault, having killed the princess first. Northern Frontier is in the right, so it's understandable that we should give an explanation. However, if Northern Frontier has any other excessive demands, we will definitely not agree to them!"

"Yes, yes, Lord Li is absolutely right. I feel the same way!"

The Southern Yan Emperor had a blank expression on his face as he continued, "You're right? Which of your eyes saw that it was Commander Yan who killed Princess Su?"

"this……"

The ministers present fell silent again.

All the ministers who had spoken out to deal with Yan Fengxiao looked at the eldest prince.

These words were given by the eldest prince at their instruction. The eldest prince must have evidence that Yan Fengxiao killed Princess Su.

Seeing that all his ministers were looking at him, the eldest prince's mouth twitched.

If he had evidence, he would not have used such means to make things difficult for Yan Fengxiao. He would have gone straight to his father to complain with the evidence.

Although the results were never good every time I complained.

"Father, I believe this must have been done by Yan Fengxiao. I previously investigated and found that someone saw Princess Su of the Northern Frontier Kingdom running towards that alley. I have witnesses on this matter!"

He glanced at the guard at the door.

Let them bring up the people they found a long time ago.

A middle-aged man in linen clothes for a night watchman was brought into the hall. His legs were shaking and he knelt on the ground with a thud as soon as he entered the room, resting his forehead on the ground.

"Cao Cao... This humble commoner pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor..."

He had never seen such a grand scene before.

I was so scared that I started stuttering and my mind went blank.

The eldest prince said in a cold voice, "Just tell me everything you saw that night."

"As you command, I was on night watch at the entrance of the alley that night when a group of men in black on horseback rushed over and whipped me, nearly... nearly to death. I heard the woman in the lead yelling for me to get out of the way..."

The area near the west side of the city gate is usually very chaotic, and few people go out at night. It must have taken a lot of effort for the eldest prince to find such a night watchman.

After hearing the night watchman's words, the old state preceptor of Northern Frontier Kingdom immediately said in a hoarse and trembling voice, "That must be Princess Su. It was on that night that Her Royal Highness the Princess disappeared. Before leaving, Her Royal Highness the Princess told me that she was going to find Marquis Dingyuan of Southern Yan Kingdom. They had a debt to settle. As it turned out, Marquis Dingyuan died in that alley. How could this be such a coincidence? Governor Yan, I beg you, please...hand over the body of our princess..."

His old eyes turned to look at Yan Fengxiao, and there was even a hint of pleading in his tone.

It seemed as if he didn't blame the other party for killing Princess Su, and just wanted to take the princess' body back...

"Please, Commander Yan, please hand over the princess' body so that I can take her home!"

"Princess Su died inexplicably in the imperial city of Southern Yan. Southern Yan must give us Northern Frontier an explanation, otherwise, Northern Frontier will not be able to swallow this!"

Yan Liuchen was suddenly shocked.

"Tsk tsk tsk, there's no direct evidence, and they're starting to resort to moral suppression..."

Yan Fengxiao had no expression on his face.

He had killed more people on the battlefield than these old ministers had ever seen.

He doesn't have any morals.
