Good! My stupid son finally rebelled!

quiet!

Deadly quiet.

At this moment, the breathing of everyone in the hall seemed deafening.

Xiao Yuanshan was even more frightened at this moment. Ling Yu had already been frightened to death. He lowered his voice and asked tremblingly, "Father...Father..."

"Humph."

When Emperor Wu saw Ling Yu's frightened look, he felt angry and even a little unhappy: "Waste, listen to me."

"Old Six's behavior is extremely rebellious."

"But he was suppressing smallpox. I can't get him back now. Otherwise, how will people in the world view me?"

"In other words, even if we find Lao Liu back, who among you is willing to come forward on behalf of the court to suppress smallpox?"

All the civil and military officials in the court kept silent and looked at the ceiling. Isn't this...

court death?

They're not that idiotic.

Ling Yu also subconsciously lowered his head and dared not say more. Emperor Wu snorted: "Besides, this Northern Zhou delegation took away 50,000 shi of grain this time, which is a great loss to our Daqian treasury."

“It’s already a big impact.”

"No doubt, I am using my Daqian grain to feed the butcher."

Emperor Wu raised his voice: "Even if this is the case, I would like to ask everyone present, is there any way to stop it?"

Give food!

Working for the tiger!

No food!

The two countries declared war!

This is a dead end, there is no way out.

Seeing that no one spoke, Emperor Wu also felt that the opportunity had come: "Although it would be wrong to act rashly against the Northern Zhou delegation."

"But don't forget, why are bandits called bandits?"

"Robbery and murder are the nature of mountain bandits."

"In this year of constant natural disasters, it is better to let these bandits rob our Northern Zhou people."

"It would be better to let these bandits rob the Northern Zhou envoys."

"As for whether it will succeed, it depends on the ability of these bandits."

"If the bandits succeed, Daqian will be relieved of the worry."

"If the bandits fail, we can use the Northern Zhou envoys to kill the Daqian bandits. This can also be regarded as eliminating harm for Daqian."

"No matter what, my Daqian royal family is in the best interests of the country. Why should I send troops to reinforce the Northern Zhou envoys?"

"This time, when they left, a thousand elite soldiers accompanied them. This is a great gift from me to the Northern Zhou Dynasty."

"Do you want me to personally escort the Northern Zhou delegation back to Northern Zhou?"

The Emperor became angrier and angrier as he spoke. He slammed his hand on the table, and there was a loud bang, which frightened everyone into silence. Xiao Yuanshan's eyelids trembled fiercely: "Not good."

"It seems that His Majesty is ready to support His Majesty the Sixth Prince."

"Fortunately, I didn't take the initiative to do this, otherwise we would be the ones who would be in trouble."

Xiao Yuanshan's thoughts turned quickly, and he quickly flattered him: "Your Majesty is wise, with your Majesty in the Northern Zhou barbarians, they will not dare to act rashly."

"If this succeeds, the Northern Zhou will have to suffer in silence."

"According to the current season, the mountains in Northern Zhou have already been blocked by heavy snow. Even if they want to start a war, they definitely don't have the confidence to do so."

Everyone hurriedly agreed to Xiao Yuanshan's flattery, fearing that they were a step too slow. Emperor Wu saw the changes in everyone's expressions and looked down on them: "A bunch of sycophants."

Emperor Wu did not respond, but simply glanced at Xiao Yuanshan and said, "Duke Xiao, you just said you had something to report?"

Gulu!

Xiao Yuanshan's heart trembled and he almost fell to the ground. What a joke! The Emperor Wu has already made the final judgment. If he jumps out, he will report Ling Tian again.

Isn't this seeking death?

If you are not careful, you may get yourself into trouble.

When Xiao Yuanshan thought about this, he became even more nervous. He rolled his eyes and came up with a plan: "Your Majesty, how can this old minister hide this from your Majesty's eyes?"

"Your Majesty has already spoken out what is in my heart."

"I wanted to say that the bandits were suspicious and seemed to be heading for the Northern Zhou delegation."

"I wanted to help secretly."

Emperor Wu was not angry even though Xiao Yuanshan was a fence-sitter: "Duke Xiao, it seems that you have arranged quite a few spies during this period."

hiss!

Xiao Yuanshan was terrified: "Your Majesty, this old minister also received news from the family."

He didn't dare to hide anything in front of Emperor Wu. As one of the people who had followed Emperor Wu for the longest time, he was very clear about Emperor Wu's methods.

It seems harmless, but it is actually very powerful.

Emperor Wu was not angry: "Don't be so nervous, do you have anything else to do?"

Xiao Yuanshan shook his head repeatedly, and the others did not dare to speak loudly. Emperor Wu snorted and said, "Liu Jin, clean up the scene."

"Also, investigate these nine bastard clans one by one."

"If there are any problems, they will be strictly enforced according to Daqian Law."

"Also check his property in the mansion."

Liu Jin bowed and said, "I will do it right away."

Emperor Wu stood up and said, "Dismiss the court."

Only after Emperor Wu left did everyone feel a sense of relief, and many people even slumped to the ground, as if their energy had been drained.

Ling Yu came to Xiao Yuanshan and said, "Uncle, this memorial was really written by that idiot Lao Liu."

"Your Highness."

Xiao Yuanshan said seriously: "Perhaps we all underestimated the Sixth Prince at the beginning. This move of cutting off the source of the trouble is really a good strategy."

"He knew that doing so was punishable by death, but he still submitted the petition."

"Your Majesty will surely be tempted by the benefits."

"If the Northern Zhou becomes angry in the future, there will be no reason to blame Your Majesty."

Ling Yu frowned: "Uncle, are we just going to let it go like this?"

"Can we just let this guy continue to jump around?"

Ling Yu felt sick. Although he did not take Ling Tian seriously, strictly speaking, this guy was jumping around in front of him all day long like a fly.

Disgusting.

Xiao Yuanshan let out a long breath: "Your Majesty has made it very clear that we cannot take action against the Sixth Prince now."

"otherwise."

"His Majesty is furious. I'm afraid your position as crown prince is no longer secure."

"but……"

Xiao Yuanshan said seriously: "We can't let him be so proud. Let's go see the queen first, and then make plans."

Ling Yu had no choice but to follow.

Concubine Xiao's Courtyard.

Qiuyue was guarding the door. Since Lingtian left, Concubine Xiao had not gone out until now. When Xiao Yuanshan came outside the courtyard, Qiuyue frowned and said, "Duke, the queen hasn't gotten up yet."

Xiao Yuanshan frowned: "What's wrong with the queen? Is she sick?"

"No." Qiuyue said, "Your Majesty is just a little tired and wants to rest."

tired?

Xiao Yuanshan thought to himself, "This useless Sixth Prince is really hard to kill. Even the usually shrewd Empress is having a headache because of him."

"Qiu Yue!"

Concubine Xiao's voice came from inside the room: "Let them in."

"Yes."

Qiuyue then made way and Xiao Yuanshan hurried in. Ling Yu glared at Qiuyue fiercely and followed him. In the room, Concubine Xiao was lying on the recliner, looking extremely tired.

The passion of that battle kept emerging before my eyes.

"Miss."

Seeing Concubine Xiao's weak appearance, Xiao Yuanshan was nervous: "You don't look very well, do you want to ask the imperial physician to take a look?"

"No need." Concubine Xiao shook her head: "How is the situation in the court?"

Xiao Yuanshan sighed when he heard this. Ling Yu couldn't hold back and said aggrievedly: "Mother, you must make the decision for me."

"That useless Sixth Brother has become even more daring. He even took the initiative to tell father about the bandits." When Ling Yu said this, he did not notice that Concubine Xiao had an ugly expression on her face.

Snapped!

Xiao Fei couldn't help but feel a ball of anger in her heart. She raised her hand and hit Ling Yu hard in the face. Ling Yu felt extremely wronged: "Mother, you hit me?"

"shut up."

Concubine Xiao's chest heaved with anger: "From today on, you are not allowed to call the Sixth Prince a waste anymore."
