There were court officials who wanted to inquire about the news from the palace servants, but the palace servants all kept their mouths shut, for fear of saying something wrong and losing their heads.
"Something happened at Jinyanlou last night. Could it be related to Jinyanlou?"
"General Jiang was also strange today. He did not come to court. I heard that he caught the thieves who broke into Jinyan Tower last night. Could there really be some connection between the two?"
"No matter how famous Jinyanlou is, it is just a restaurant. There is no need for the emperor to be angry about this matter, right?"
…
Those court officials who were unaware of the inside story were discussing in low voices, while Feng Huailue, Feng Zhaolin and Feng Haojie, who were standing in front of the officials, felt panic in their hearts, after all, they were all people who had received bribes from Jinyanlou.
It was such a cold day, but Xinyang Hou Yipeng had a layer of sweat on his forehead, as if a sword was hanging over his head, and he didn't know when it would fall.
After waiting for a long time in the morning, when all the ministers were cold and hungry, they suddenly heard the voice of the palace servants: "The emperor has arrived!"
When Feng Xuanming arrived, all the ministers walked into the Golden Palace and stood on both sides. Some of them saluted Feng Xuanming who was sitting on the dragon throne. Feng Zhuohua also stood beside Feng Xuanming with a blank expression.
Feng Xuanming did not let them stand up, but directly asked the palace servants to read out a list. The people who were mentioned were so frightened that their legs trembled.
After the list was finished, Feng Xuanming spoke in an ambiguous tone: "How long have you stood in the cold wind? I have watched you for as long as you have. Do you have anything else to say?"
No one would have thought that Feng Xuanming would attack in public and not even care about the face of several princes.
But Feng Zhuohua saw through Feng Xuanming's thoughts. After all, he was not prepared to delve into the factions of these people. After all, it involved three princes. He raised it high and put it down lightly, striking a blow to those in the court and demonstrating his own power as an emperor. Feng Xuanming really mastered the art of being an emperor.
This morning court session today is destined to be restless...
At this moment, the post station welcomed another group of envoys. It was Rong Zhang who arrived. This time, the one escorting Rong Zhang was Xuan Ling, the commander-in-chief of the Jinwu Guards and the King of Beirong.
Su Chenyu stood in front of the window, looking at Xuan Ling who had been following behind Rong Zhang.
The commander of the Jinwu Guard was unexpectedly young, looking like a teenager of about fifteen or sixteen years old, thin and taciturn.
Just like a lone and proud wild wolf, Su Chenyu sensed a smell of blood from him. To be able to become the commander of the Jinwu Guards, this person must be no simple person.
King Beirong sent Xuan Ling to escort Rong Zhang, probably not to protect him, but because King Beirong wanted to ensure that there would be no accidents in the marriage between Rong Zhang and Jiang Huai, so he sent his most trusted subordinates.
As for Rong Zhang, does he know what the King of Beirong is thinking?
Yan Qing closed the window, blocking Xuan Ling's gaze: "He is very alert and has noticed that someone is watching them."
"I'm not the only one keeping an eye on them." Su Chenyu walked to the table and sat down. "Is it time for lunch?"
"Aren't you worried about Feng Zhuohua's situation?"
"Cliques and private interests can be a big or small matter. This time there are so many people involved. How could Feng Xuanming make a big move in the Xixia court at the critical moment when the envoys from various countries arrived?" Su Chenyu knew that Feng Xuanming was ambitious. "He will definitely use this incident to warn the ministers. Perhaps most people will behave themselves, but some will start looking for their own way out. Aren't we targeting this small group of people?"
Xixia was able to incite the court officials of Dayu to rebel, so why couldn't they use the same trick on them?
