"Such a thing is true?" Murong Feng could hardly believe his ears.
In the emperor's view.
General Murong Chui was proficient in both literary and military arts.
Murong Chui was the kind of person who could pacify the world with his pen and conquer it on horseback.
Although the military power of the dynasty fell into the hands of Murong Chui, he won many wars against foreign powers over the years and suffered almost no defeats.
What pleased Murong Feng the most was that Murong Chui's foreign wars over the years had not only expanded his territory but also brought him a great deal of benefits.
The beautiful palace maids in the palace were basically all abducted by Murong Chui from outside.
Every time Murong Chui plundered outside the region, he had to give at least half of the spoils to Emperor Murong Feng.
Murong Feng turned a blind eye to Murong Chui's monopolization of military and political power.
In Murong Feng's view, there are very few people like Murong Chuanzhi who are not good at fighting.
However, Murong Chui brought the soldiers of the Russian Kingdom into the capital. After entering the city, these guys burned, killed, looted, and committed all sorts of atrocities.
Where was the imperial dignity of the Xianbei dynasty?
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely true. It was Jiang Tian of the Great Xia Dynasty who cut off Murong Xue's finger."
Murong Feng became increasingly interested in this matter.
“Those of you who know the details, kneel down there and tell me properly.”
Murong Feng glared fiercely at the civil and military officials.
The civil and military officials knelt there trembling with fear.
How did you know?
"His Majesty is known to all the officials and civil and military officials, no, to all the people in the capital."
"Grand Marshal Murong Chui recently raised ten million taels of silver in order to redeem Young Master Murong Xue from Jiang Tian."
Upon hearing this, Murong Feng flew into a rage and slammed his fist on the table.
Ten million taels of silver is definitely not a small amount.
The Xianbei were located in the harsh, cold north.
The Xianbei were primarily nomadic, and ten million taels of silver was enough for an entire dynasty to earn over several years of hard work.
As a result, Murong Chui handed over the ten million taels of silver to someone else without even blinking.
"This Murong Chui has quite the audacity."
"He is increasingly disregarding me."
"Has Murong Chui arrived yet? Quickly send someone to urge him on."
An hour later.
Murong Chui arrived at Murong Feng's study.
"Your Majesty, this humble subject pays his respects." Although Murong Chui said this, he only gave a casual greeting like Murong Feng.
"Murong Chui, I ask you, why have we been hearing such loud noises in the capital these past two days?"
"Gunshot." Murong Chui winked at the eunuch beside him, who quickly brought over a chair.
Murong Chui sat down with an air of authority.
This guy has never taken Emperor Murong Feng seriously.
He gave Murong Feng money and women, hoping that Murong Feng would become obsessed with pleasure and neglect his duties.
Murong Chui's goal was very clear.
After conquering the Great Xia Dynasty, he will return to the capital and seize the throne.
After ruling as emperor for several decades, he will pass the throne to Murong Xue.
Murong Feng was Murong Chui's nephew, but Murong Chui never took this nephew seriously.
"Where did the gunshots come from? What's going on with those gunshots? Explain this to me properly."
I heard from my ministers that more than 2,000 girls in the imperial city have been defiled by the Russians in the past two days.
The Russians committed violence in the streets, killing more than 1,000 of us.
In addition, they looted and burned more than 200 shops.
Is this really true?
Murong Chui made no attempt to hide anything: "It is indeed true."
"Why are these people from Luocha Kingdom entering the imperial city so brazenly?"
"Your Majesty, I allowed more than 10,000 Luocha soldiers into the city for the sake of the safety of the imperial city." Murong Chui then pointed to the teacup in front of Murong Feng.
The eunuch glanced at the two of them, then quickly went over and handed the teacup that Murong Feng hadn't finished drinking to Murong Chui.
Murong Chui made no attempt to observe the proper etiquette between ruler and subject. He picked up the teacup, tilted his head back, and drank the tea in the bowl clean.
Murong Chui is so arrogant and domineering.
Murong Feng had long since reached his limit.
“Murong…Chui…” Murong Feng stood up. “Weren’t those soldiers from Luocha Kingdom supposed to protect the people in the city? Weren’t they supposed to defend against the attack of the Great Xia Dynasty? Why are they burning, killing, looting and abusing women in the streets?”
“Your Majesty, these things are unavoidable. It is an honor for the Russians to defile the women in our capital. It is only natural that they would take some benefits if we wanted their protection.”
Murong Feng never expected that Murong Chui, who was usually arrogant and domineering, would be so afraid of the Rakshasa people.
He described it as perfectly normal for a Russian to commit violence in the street.
"Get rid of those Rakshasa people from the city as soon as possible. I don't want to see them in the imperial city again."
Upon hearing this, Murong Chui smashed the teacup in his hand on the ground with a loud crash, shattering it into pieces.
"Let them out of the city? The people of the Great Xia Dynasty have invaded. Does His Majesty intend to go up to the city walls and fight them?"
“You…” Murong Feng glared angrily.
"You...you what you...Without me, the Xianbei would have been wiped out countless times. Now the Great Xia Dynasty is eyeing us covetously, and could launch an attack at any moment."
We are only paying a small price now.
Your Majesty, if we are not even willing to pay this small price, the soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty will storm the city.
That was when they truly committed arson, murder, looting, and the massacre of entire cities.
Murong Chui glanced at Murong Feng again: "Does Your Majesty wish to see the soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty continue to burn, kill, and loot, even reaching the imperial palace in the capital?"
Murong Feng quickly lowered his head.
He doesn't even dare to look Murong Chui in the eye anymore.
"If the soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty storm the palace, they will not only execute you by slow slicing, but none of your empresses, concubines, and noble ladies will be able to escape their ravages."
"This..." Murong Feng suddenly felt weak and powerless all over his body.
"Your Majesty, do you still think it's too much for those Russian soldiers to kill people and rape women indiscriminately in the city at this point?"
Murong Feng shook his head.
"That's right."
"If you don't give them some benefits, who will be willing to protect you?" Murong Chui scolded Murong Feng like he was disciplining his son.
"Your Majesty, after this matter is over, you should honestly confess who slandered me to you."
Give me the complete list of these people.
I, Murong Chui, would like to see what these people are up to, that they would attempt to sabotage the relationship between us, ruler and subject.
"My loyalty to Your Majesty is as clear as the sun and moon, and as steadfast as the mountains and rivers. Your Majesty, don't you agree?"
How could Murong Feng dare to utter a single word of dissent?
He nodded repeatedly: "I am deeply comforted by the Grand Marshal's dedication to the country and his tireless efforts."
