Chapter 935 The survival of a country
At this moment, Xu Miaoyin felt that Zhu Feng, whom she was supporting, was burning hot all over, and she had the illusion that he was close to the flames.
His eyes were as red as blood.
Even strangers, seeing Zhu Feng like this, would understand that it was a sign of killing.
Not to mention people I'm familiar with.
To Xu Miaoyin, the cruel and bloodthirsty King of Yan, Zhu Feng, seemed to have returned all of a sudden.
She was actually trembling a little.
Even the people under the altar held their breath for a moment when they saw Zhu Feng like this. No one dared to speak easily, for fear that Zhu Feng's anger would burn on them, and they would end up with no body left.
For a moment, the entire altar was silent.
However, in Zhu Feng's world, there was a howling wind and dust all over the sky, which almost blocked his five senses.
In this chaotic world, the only bit of clarity is the figure in front of me.
Southern Smoke...
Sinanyan...
She actually—
He clenched his hands, but only he knew that at this moment, he had no strength left in his body. Even if he tried his best to clench his fists, he couldn't even clench his fingertips.
"Someone come..."
His low voice sounded.
But the people around him were completely deaf to it. Only Xu Miaoyin beside him heard it and hurriedly shouted, "Come here, the emperor is calling you, come here!"
The guards at the altar immediately stepped forward and asked, "What are your commands, Your Majesty?"
“…”
Zhu Feng took a deep breath and said, "Catch her."
"yes!"
Several guards walked behind Nan Yan.
They hesitated for a moment, but instinctively decided not to attack. Instead, they said respectfully, "Your Highness, please follow us."
Nan Yan saluted Zhu Feng, stood up, turned around and followed them.
At this moment, Zhu Xuan frowned and took a step forward: "This——"
"Zhu Xuan!"
Zhu Feng's tone sank, as if condensing a thunderbolt: "You have too many things to take care of today."
“…”
"This is my harem's business. Do you want to get involved?"
“…”
Zhu Xuan's face turned red and white. Although he could still stand there safely, he knew very well that even after using this trump card, he still couldn't shake Zhu Feng at all. He couldn't win this battle today.
The only thing I can be thankful for is that I haven't been involved in it yet.
However, if I continue to hold on to this matter, I am afraid I will be implicated as well, and then, it will really be over.
So he gritted his teeth and took a step back.
Zhu Feng's face turned pale, and he looked up at the ministers below, his eyes red as flames.
After a long while, he finally let out a deep breath: "Return to the palace!"
|
Beiping, Duke's Mansion.
After closing the outer door and isolating himself from the bustling atmosphere of the entire Peking City, Wu Yingqiu walked back to the study and sat down gravely.
Following behind him were his son Wu Ding, as well as several other officials and disciples.
Everyone's face looked a little panicked.
After all, what happened today was truly horrifying. Although a royal scandal was finally exposed, ending the day, there was still a sense of unease surging in everyone's heart.
Everyone also vaguely felt what it was.
After a long silence, Wu Yingqiu finally let out a long sigh: "Alas!"
"Father--"
Wu Ding was about to speak when news came from outside.
It was the little eunuch and pawn beside Concubine Kang Wu Wan who came.
He walked in, bowed, and then said to Wu Yingqiu, "Duke, Concubine Kang's intentions are very clear. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Concubine Kang wants to take a step forward and replace the Imperial Concubine. I hope that Duke can help you with this matter."
“…”
"So, what should be investigated and what should not be investigated, Concubine Kang said, please think twice."
After saying this, he bowed again and walked out.
After hearing these words, Wu Yingqiu's gray eyebrows furrowed even tighter.
Wu Ding said from the side: "Father, what my sister said is not without reason. The matter has been exposed, so father should not dwell on it any longer. Since the Imperial Concubine is about to step down, the next step is naturally to help my sister take the position of Imperial Concubine."
Several officials and disciples around him also said, "Yes, Duke."
"Your Majesty's words make sense."
"The Duke should also consider taking a further step. Although Prince Ning's actions today can still keep him safe, the Emperor will definitely settle accounts with him in the future. The Duke can consider transferring his power—"
They were talking at once when Wu Yingqiu slammed the table.
With a loud "bang", the teacup on the table was almost knocked over.
Wu Ding was stunned for a moment: "Father?"
"What do you know?!"
Wu Yingqiu stood up, his cheeks flushed with anger, and said, "Struggle for power, struggle for power, we are going to fight for power, but the premise is that this country still exists, this Great Yan Dynasty still exists!"
“…”
"I followed Emperor Gao and conquered the Great Yan Dynasty with my sword and every inch of land here is stained with my blood and the blood of my former comrades!"
“…”
"I absolutely cannot allow the country to be coveted by the people of Dian!"
Wu Ding and the others looked at each other.
He asked doubtfully, "Father, are you still doubting the Emperor's background?"
Wu Yingqiu let out a deep breath: "How can I not doubt it?!"
“…”
"Now that the emperor has moved the capital to Beiping, we are closer to the Kingdom of Dian than ever before."
“…”
"If, if the emperor really has the blood of the people of Dian flowing in his veins..."
Thinking of this, he shuddered.
If Zhu Feng didn’t know, it would be fine.
But the problem is that now that this matter has come to light, I'm afraid Zhu Feng himself will become suspicious and even want to investigate.
An emperor has the blood of royal families of two countries flowing in his body. How can that be tolerated?
Can he still defend the territory of Yan State and fight against the people of Dian State wholeheartedly as he did in the past when he was the King of Yan?
I am afraid that because he is troubled by his identity, he will make deviations in his choices on some key issues.
And the emperor is not an ordinary citizen.
If ordinary people, or even princes and ministers like himself, deviate from the rules, it will only cause some turmoil in the government. But if the emperor deviates from the rules, it will directly affect the survival of the country!
No, this must not be allowed to happen!
Wu Yingqiu clenched his fists.
He never concealed the fact that he loved power and was always thinking about fighting for power and profit. It was precisely because of this that he chose the Prince of Yan, who could bring him greater benefits, during the Jingnan Campaign.
But now, all signs are telling them that Zhu Feng may have the blood of the Dian people flowing in his body.
If I had known earlier, I should have fully supported Emperor Wen!
But now, it's too late to regret.
"This matter, I must investigate thoroughly."
