"Why is Peng Wen so presumptuous?"

"It is the Prime Minister and other ministers who are truly presumptuous. They have always looked down upon us envoys."

"Now my king has unified the areas of Linnan Huzhai and established counties. The people there live and work in peace and contentment and are loyal to my king."

"Now that Linnan has a sufficient treasury and a million strong soldiers, why can't my king establish a country?"

Peng Wen's eyes suddenly opened wide and his tone of voice gradually became heavier.

The meaning of his words was very clear. Now the King of Linnan did not declare himself emperor out of consideration for the brotherhood between His Majesty and His Majesty, but only hoped that His Majesty could transform the land into a country.

Humph.

"Peng Wen, as the assistant prime minister of King Linnan, you did not persuade King Linnan to draw a clear line between himself and the barbarians, but actually allowed these monkeys to enter and leave the palace as officials."

"Are you worthy of your ancestors buried in the Han area, and your great-great-grandfather, Duke Wude?"

"Look at what you look like now. If Duke Wude were still alive, he would definitely scold you to death, this unfilial descendant!!!" Censor Chen bombarded Peng Wen.

Peng Wen was not angry because Censor Chen did not mention his great-grandfather, Duke Wude.

But when the name Wu Degong was mentioned, Peng Wen's anger immediately showed on his face.

"My great-great-grandfather followed Emperor Hanzu to conquer the world. What was his final fate?"

"My great-grandfather has a clear conscience towards Emperor Hanzu, but if Emperor Hanzu were alive now, would he dare to ask himself if he has done justice to my great-grandfather!!!"

Peng Wen roared with excitement at the end of his speech.

After the death of Duke Wude Peng He, those descendants of the Peng family who were lucky enough to survive fled to Linnan.

The Peng family has been dormant in Linnan for several generations, and they only have one idea.

That is to make a comeback one day, just to overthrow the Han Dynasty!!!

The death of Duke Wude Peng He was a matter of great guilt for both the previous emperors and the current Emperor Wen Yan.

and so.

Even though Peng Wen was now furious and roaring in the hall, Wen Yan still did not stop him.

Although Wen Yan did not stop Peng Wen's insolence, the old Confucian scholar Ma Qian in the hall could not stand it anymore.

He walked out and changed the subject, then started mocking Peng Wen.

"A mere monkey land in Linnan is worthy of the right to mint coins and become a country?"

"Does your King Linnan want to be the king of monkeys?"

Following the old Confucian scholar Ma Qian's ridicule, all the ministers burst into laughter, and some even imitated him humorously on the spot.

This made Ren Hao frown. He felt that they were just a bunch of frogs in a well. They always felt that they should be superior to others because they were in the Central Plains. Other places except the Central Plains should be the land of barbarians and monkeys.

Little did they know that it was precisely because of their lack of ambition that the princes and nobles took advantage of the situation and rose up step by step.

Faced with Ma Qian's ridicule, Peng Wen did not get angry but laughed instead.

"What about monkeys?"

"None of the big guys evolved from monkeys."

"Besides, even though my king is the king of monkeys, he still has millions of monkey soldiers."

"This is enough to go north and flatten the Central Plains, turning the entire Central Plains into a monkey land."

Peng Wen spoke confidently without any fear.

“How outrageous!!!”

"Come here, take them out and behead them as an example to me."

Zhao Ping'an shouted, and the imperial guards outside the palace immediately entered the palace and surrounded the envoys headed by Peng Wen.

Faced with the long spears of the imperial guards, neither Peng Wen nor the other Linnan envoys showed any fear.

"We have been trying to persuade King Linnan to become emperor, but King Linnan refused to do so out of consideration for the brotherhood between you and your majesty."

"If you kill us now, it would be a great help."

"Today our blood will be shed in the Linde Palace, and tomorrow will be the day when our king will be crowned emperor." Peng Wen said loudly with a cheerful expression, looking as if he was not afraid of death at all.

Humph.

"When King Linnan proclaims himself emperor, that will be the day when our army will conquer the earth." Zhao Ping'an snorted, not taking Peng Wen seriously at all, thinking they were just putting on an act.

Just when Zhao Ping'an waved his hand to signal the imperial guards to kill Peng Wen and the others, Wen Yan shouted, "Stop it, everyone."

"Your Majesty, Peng Wen is so bold as to ignore the Han laws. It will be difficult to quell the public anger unless he is executed." Zhao Ping'an hurriedly stepped forward and said, and a group of ministers echoed him.

This made Wen Yan very angry. He cursed these ministers in his heart, saying that they were either pig-brained people who were only interested in momentary gratification or a bunch of good-for-nothings who didn't even consider the consequences of their actions.

just now.

At the moment, only Ren Hao can see clearly.

When Peng Wen brought the envoys here, he was already determined to die.

He was so unscrupulous and presumptuous in the court, and he was willing to die in exchange for King Linnan's enthronement, thus creating a situation of confrontation and war with the Han Dynasty.

If we really want to kill Peng Wen's envoys now, it may satisfy our short-term needs, but in the end it will only push the Han Dynasty into an abyss of no return.

There are no soldiers to recruit in the county now, and there are no extra soldiers or generals to go with Linnan to attack.

"Your Majesty, although Peng Wen was so bold and reckless in the palace, neither side has ever killed envoys since ancient times."

"Your Majesty, please show some mercy." Ren Hao stood up to object.

Zhao Ping'an, who was standing beside him, took the opportunity to trip him up, and said in a sarcastic tone, "Ren Sikong, you are offending Peng Wen so much, could it be that you have secretly defected to the King of Linnan?"

"joke."

"My loyalty to Your Majesty is witnessed by the heavens, the earth, the sun and the moon."

"But you, Prime Minister Zhao, deliberately reported me at this time. What is your intention?"

"Could it be that you want to push the Han Dynasty into an abyss of no return, or do you want to let everyone in the world know that Your Majesty is an unfilial and unrighteous person who does not consider the feelings of brothers." Ren Hao glanced at Zhao Ping'an and took the opportunity to turn the tables on Zhao Ping'an.

"I don't have such an idea. This is just your wishful thinking."

"As for my reporting of you just now, it was just a subconscious suspicion. You don't need to be so excited." Zhao Ping'an explained on the spot, looking very relaxed as if he had not fallen into any trap.

After all, there is no one in the court who can set a trap for him and make him jump into it.

"Alright, alright, the two of you should stop fighting among yourselves, and Prime Minister Zhao should stop doubting Ren Sikong's character. He will definitely not defect to the King of Linnan."

Censor Chen quickly came out to smooth things over, and then turned to Ren Hao and said, "Although Peng Wen is recklessly running wild in the court and offending the majesty of heaven, our dynasty is the Celestial Empire, and Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven who rules the world. Your heart is as broad as the world, so please forgive them."

Censor Chen is worthy of being the number one fence-sitter in the dynasty. The level of his speech is different and really shows his level.

This not only slammed the dragon's butt, but also compared Peng Wen and others to a bunch of ignorant monkeys.

Since they are monkeys, why bother with them?
