Weiyang Palace.
All the officials held the jade sceptre and sat upright.
They looked at each other and waited quietly.
They had all heard about the events in the city.
This morning, Langguan knocked on every door.
Notify them to participate in the court meeting.
"Your Majesty has arrived—"
"We pay our respects to Your Majesty!"
"Long live His Majesty, long live the Great Feng!"
"Gentlemen, please excuse yourselves and take your seats."
Emperor Feng raised his hand, signaling, and said slowly, "I'm sure you all have heard on your way here. Prince Tian Zhongxun of Qi has colluded with Goguryeo and is rebelling in Langya and Jiaodong. They are attempting to assassinate Prince Ning and capture Linzi. I now officially declare that the title of King of Qi is stripped, and there will no longer be a King of Qi in Dafeng. Furthermore, we will spare no expense to rush to Linzi to quell the rebellion in Qi!"
"Your Majesty obeys!"
All the ministers stood up and kowtowed.
"The Gu family colluded with the rebels, and their entire clan will be implicated!"
"in addition……"
Emperor Feng changed the subject and raised his hand, saying, "Several years ago, the old Prince Ning and his three guards died in battle in Hulu Valley. After a thorough investigation over the years, it was found that the reason why the old Prince Ning was trapped and died in Hulu Valley was related to Tian Zhongxun and Gu Yuan!"
"An undercover agent planted by Tian Zhongxun stole the route of the old Ning King's army, and Gu Yuan then passed the information to Xiliang. Xiliang used this information to secretly plan an ambush on the route that the old Ning King had to take. The old Ning King had no choice but to retreat to Hulu Valley. Xiliang then set up numerous ambushes, killing the old Ning King, the three princes, and the entire army in Hulu Valley!"
Emperor Feng looked at Chief Steward Hu.
The latter also understood.
"Princess Samuel is summoned to the audience!"
Jiang Quan frowned.
The matter of King Ning's death in battle has been suppressed.
It is a taboo in Chang'an City.
It can't even be mentioned.
Obviously, Emperor Feng is preparing to do something big!
This completely confirmed the death penalty for Tian Zhongxun and Gu Yuan.
At the same time, the case of the old King Ning was concluded.
Soon, Samuel walked in slowly.
"Samuel, I meet the Emperor."
"No need to be polite."
Samuel nodded.
She is thinner now.
He stayed in the palace as a hostage.
Dafeng will definitely not treat her unfairly.
It’s just that Samur himself is not used to the life in the palace, and he misses his relatives in the Xiliang Royal City, so he looks a little thinner.
"Princess, please explain clearly today the matter of the old Prince Ning's death in battle."
"good."
Samuel nodded.
Her father explained the matter to her clearly.
But Xiliang didn’t know much.
They were also used as pawns at the beginning.
Invisibly, a pair of huge hands pushed them forward.
The main reason is that the old King Ning’s deterrent power is too great.
Xiliang actually doesn't like these conspiracies and intrigues.
He also had great respect for the old King Ning.
But they had no choice.
If the old Prince Ning were allowed to attack, the capital of Xiliang might be forced to move. The territory that they had relied on for survival all these years would be annexed by Dafeng.
Samuel walked to the middle and told the story slowly.
"I, Xiliang, don't know much."
"My father said that someone in the Gaoque area shot a sealed document into the Xiliang camp with a sharp arrow. The document contained the specific marching route of the old King Ning, including the duration of the troops, food, and supplies."
"That arrow has the word 'Gu' on it."
"You all know what happened next." Samuel spoke slowly, softly, "Old Prince Ning was trapped in Hulu Valley by our Xiliang army. However, his troops were extremely powerful and could withstand our 200,000-man army. However, Gu Yuan's army was unable to pass Gaoque. You have to know that Gaoque's troops were not numerous at that time."
"I knew it was all that bastard Gu Yuan's fault!" Jiang Quan slammed the table and stood up, angrily scolding, "I suspected from the beginning that Gaoque's garrison was insufficient. Gu Yuan has at least 50,000 men under his command. Even if they were just a spit from each man, he could still defeat Gaoque. But he insisted that Gaoque was heavily guarded, and that it was easy to defend but difficult to attack. He only has civilians under his command, and they don't have much fighting ability."
"That's right!"
"Gu Yuan has harbored evil intentions for a long time!"
"He has a close relationship with Tian Zhongxun, and it was Tian Zhongxun who recommended him to be General Fubo this time."
“…”
Emperor Feng coughed lightly.
All the officials suddenly quieted down.
Now the Gu family is completely finished.
Naturally they all had to come up and give it a kick.
You have to know that there are at least dozens of officials in the Gu family. After they fall, there will be many vacancies.
This is how it is in the court.
Don’t look at how good your personal relationship is.
If something really happens, everyone will try to distance themselves from it as quickly as possible.
Then find an opportunity to bite off the meat!
Jiang Quan and the Gu family have always been at odds.
He naturally wished they were dead.
Especially knowing that it is related to the death of King Ning in battle.
As for other ministers, it is hard to say.
Take Cao Du for example, this old man is now jumping higher than Jiang Quan. He also cursed Tian Zhongxun's ancestors for three generations, his face flushed and spit flying. If you didn't know better, you would think he was the enemy who killed his father.
There's nothing I can do...
At the beginning, Cao Du and Tian Zhongxun were very close.
Although not as good as the Gu family, they still flirt with each other.
Now it is obvious that Emperor Feng wants to settle accounts with King Qi.
Anyone related to him must be dismissed.
So, how could Cao Du not jump around?
He is afraid of death!
"Thank you, Princess."
"You all heard it, didn't you?"
Emperor Feng slowly stood up.
All the court officials stood up immediately after him.
He raised his head and looked up at Emperor Feng.
