If you thought it was just a rumor when you first heard it, now that there is confirmation, you know it is not a rumor.
So, is the will true?
If it is true, the contents of the will would be fatal to Emperor Xuantong.
If Emperor Xuantong is finished, he is also finished, so the three kings must be given to...
He hasn't even sat firmly on the throne.
Emperor Xuantong choked and opened his mouth angrily, "I wonder what you gentlemen have to say?"
Deng Weiping and the Minister of Justice remained silent. Yongyi Marquis Chen Zhengqing stepped forward to refute, "Dai Viet is still in turmoil. Does the Prime Minister confirm what you said?"
"If the Three Kings' unusual movements were just fabricated, do you know how deep of a vortex Daiyue would be plunged into?"
Duke Shen stepped out of the group, saluted, and then refuted Marquis Yongyi's words, "That's right, isn't the common people that Commander Shangguan arrested for personal gain under the guise of spreading rumors?"
Duke Shen bowed to Emperor Xuantong with both hands, "If I remember correctly, the three kings' unusual movements were also one of the rumors!"
Su Chun gritted his teeth and glared at Duke Shen and Marquis Yongyi angrily, especially the old scoundrel Duke Shen, who always found the chance to undermine him.
Faced with the tense atmosphere below, Emperor Xuantong just wanted to end the morning court and go back to be with his beauties. "The three princes' unusual movements should not be underestimated. I will leave this matter to Minister Su to handle."
"Lord Shangguan, please cooperate and clarify this as quickly as possible. If there is indeed any unusual movement, we will show no leniency. In this emergency, we can mobilize the nearest soldiers to suppress it."
Emperor Xuantong handed a tiger talisman to Su Chun, as if he had the power to execute first and report later.
"Your Majesty, no."
Marquis Yongyi, Duke Shen, the Minister of Justice and other ministers were horrified and knelt on the ground in fear, hoping that Emperor Xuantong would revoke his order.
Shen Guogong persuaded earnestly, "Prime Minister Su is a civil official, how can he hold the tiger talisman and mobilize soldiers."
"Besides, whether the Three Kings' unusual movements are true or not is still unknown. Your Majesty, I implore you to have the Dali Temple conduct a thorough investigation to avoid the wrongful killing of innocent people."
Deng Weiping heard that he was being called upon and stepped forward to take responsibility for the matter. "Your Majesty, I am willing to investigate and will get to the bottom of this matter. If anyone truly has ulterior motives, I will capture them and bring them before Your Majesty to apologize."
Su Chun suppressed his excitement and spoke sincerely, "Your Majesty, we must not alert the enemy. We can only kill with one strike, catching the enemy off guard. If the Dali Temple intervenes, we will miss the opportunity and the enemy may be prepared."
"Prime Minister Su, you're so eager to execute the three kings before they've even been convicted of their actions? I can't help but wonder if you, Prime Minister Su, are the one harboring the opposite sex's desires!"
Duke Shen's words instantly quieted the Purple Palace, and the sound of the dripping needle could be heard.
