Chapter 273: The Imperial Family Has Always Been the Most Ruthless
Or other people with ulterior motives.
After the emperor left, Huo Jin didn't stay any longer.
Seeing Li Mingce's murderous gaze, Huo Jin nodded towards Mingyueshan and the others.
"Everyone, please think carefully about the question I just asked. If such a simple matter cannot be resolved, His Majesty will definitely not agree to send troops to support us, let alone the food and fodder."
After saying that, he stood up and left.
The sunlight seemed to be chasing his figure, making his shadow very long.
Even after he disappeared from everyone's sight, his shadow remained in the hall.
Li Mingce stared at the shadow that Huo Jinjian saw, the corners of his mouth gradually rose, and the emotions in his eyes gradually became ferocious and crazy.
He really should take that man's advice.
Huo Jin saw that they were all from your pen-based king!
After leaving the hall, Huo Jin did not go to find the emperor immediately, but returned to the palace.
Lone Ying was already waiting for him there.
"How is it?" Huo Jin saw him staring at him and tapped the table lightly with his index finger in a very regular rhythm.
Gu Ying took out a piece of paper the size of a palm from his arms.
The above is about the food and fodder issue mentioned by Li Mingce this time.
It turns out that this food and supplies were not intended for attacking Yada, but were given directly to Yada.
The look in Huo Jin's eyes suddenly disappeared, replaced by an inextinguishable anger and murderous intent.
The person Li Mingce contacted was the third prince.
He agreed to help the third prince ascend the throne, and after the success, the third prince would separate the five border cities and allow Li Mingce to have independent rule there.
Isn’t this establishing a vassal king?
Li Mingce and the third prince are trying to shake the foundation of the country!
Moreover, Li Mingce also clearly mentioned in the secret letter that Huo Jinjian was the biggest stumbling block to their grand ambitions.
Since I can’t touch Huo Jinjian now, I’ll start with the people he cares about!
There is no doubt that the person Huo Jin cares about is Liang Moyuan.
Seeing this, Huo Jin immediately stood up and strode towards the imperial study.
Wang Quanshan looked at Huo Jin, who was coming towards him with a murderous look and a cold face. He was stunned at first, then he walked towards him with a bitter face.
"My Lord, you are finally here. Since His Majesty returned, he has asked us servants to wait outside and not allow anyone to enter. I am...very worried!"
Even though he knew that there were shadow guards protecting the imperial study, Wang Quanshan was still worried.
Huo Jin nodded and signaled Wang Quanshan to pass the message on.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince requests an audience!"
Wang Quanshan's voice is high-pitched and very penetrating.
After a while, the emperor's slightly tired voice was heard from the silent imperial study.
"Come in."
Wang Quanshan let out a long sigh, turned around quickly, and opened the door for Huo Jinjian with an eager smile on his face.
When Huo Jin stepped in, he immediately felt the oppressive atmosphere.
The emperor sat on the dragon throne. For the first time, he did not straighten his back, but sank into the chair with an expressionless face.
The dragon head on the dragon throne shone brightly, framing the emperor's eyes.
There was undisguised fatigue and disappointment in it.
"Jin Jian, why do brothers have to come to this point? Is it possible that even a royal family cannot have a trace of true love?"
It is rare to see the emperor enveloped in sadness and depression.
Huo Jin sighed silently in his heart when he saw this.
If His Majesty knew about the relationship between the Third Prince and Li Mingce...
"Jinjian, what do you want to say to me?"
After all, he is the ruler of a country and can digest his emotions quickly. If the person in front of him was not Huo Jinjian, he would not reveal any clues at all.
Huo Jin knew that the matter was of great importance, so he had to take out the secret letter that Gu Ying had intercepted, even if it would make the emperor even more sad.
"This is a secret letter to the Third Prince that my Anbu intercepted from the King of Zhenbei."
After these words were spoken, the emperor's expression became even gloomier.
But he no longer had the depressed look on his face, but was instead filled with a solemn and murderous aura, which was the aura that a king of a country should have.
The emperor took the secret letter from Huo Jinjian's hand.
Huo Jin saw the emperor's expression change from disbelief at first to anger, and finally to calmness and composure.
When he put down the secret letter, there was no emotion in the emperor's eyes.
"You've done a good job on this matter. Have your people keep an eye on it. If there aren't enough people, I'll send you more."
He put the secret letter away and called out in a deep voice, "Wang Quanshan!"
Wang Quanshan immediately ran in hurriedly.
"What are your commands, Your Majesty?"
"Pass the order down. For your service in meeting the envoys, the Crown Prince will be rewarded with one hundred taels of gold and a number of precious treasures. Oh, and I have a mutton-fat jade statue of Guanyin in my treasury. I will give it to you as well."
Huo Jin was moved when he saw this, and vaguely felt that the emperor's gift of this Guanyin statue had a profound meaning.
His eyes darkened and he knelt down to express his gratitude: "Your Majesty, I bow to you and thank you."
Huo Jin still had to deal with some government affairs in the palace.
The rewards from the palace arrived at the Marquis' Mansion first.
Watching the palace maids carrying boxes of rewards into the main courtyard, Liang Shanyu stood under a tree in the distance, looking at them with jealousy.
She gripped the tree trunk with her hands and tightened them fiercely.
"Second Madam...we should all avoid anyone coming from the palace. How about..."
Lan Xin, who was following beside her, hadn't finished her words when Liang Shanyu suddenly turned around and slapped her in the face.
"Bitch! When will it be your turn to give orders to this lady? Are you still looking for an opportunity to seduce the Second Young Master so you can become his mistress?"
