The eldest son is fierce

The next day, in Zizheng Hall.

Despite the chaos in Kyoto last night, the morning court session continued on schedule. Not long after the ministers entered the Zizheng Hall, Emperor Yanwen emerged from the rear hall with the swift, unhurried stride of a dragon or a tiger.

His face was gloomy and murderous.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health..."

Just as the ministers were saluting, Emperor Yanwen kicked over the table with his foot, his face livid: "I am uneasy. What should I be uneasy about? Yesterday, the news of the victory of the Loyal and Brave Marquis had just reached the capital, and last night I was assassinated, and the Loyal and Brave Marquis's mansion was attacked."

"In the magnificent capital, at the feet of the emperor, these criminals are so arrogant and abominable. How can I live in peace?"

Fan Yong and his ministers all kowtowed, "We deserve to die!"

Emperor Yanwen placed his hands on his hips and glared down at his ministers. "You truly deserve to die. You enjoy the high positions and generous salaries I grant you, and all the privileges I grant you, but what about you? Have you ever shared even a single moment of my worries?"

"When the king is in distress, the ministers are humiliated; when the king is humiliated, the ministers die. This slogan is so loud and clear, but what are you doing? Ah? I am ashamed of you."

"Come here, push these rubbish away and behead them all!"

Zhao Hu led dozens of imperial guards directly into the hall.

All the ministers were stunned by this scene. Even Prime Minister Fan Yong looked at the princess in astonishment. "Didn't you say you had the emperor under control? You call that control?"

Do you have any misunderstanding about the word "control"?

The eldest princess standing in the front had a very gloomy expression as she looked at Emperor Yanwen standing in front of the dragon throne with a rage. "I told you to take it easy, but you're just playing around with me, right?"

Tang Yi is not in Kyoto, so you act like Tang Yi and make a big fuss?

"Your Majesty, no."

The princess gathered her sleeves and said, "The enemy is taking advantage of this opportunity to cause chaos in the capital. Although the ministers have failed in their duties, their crimes do not deserve death. If you kill the court officials because of the enemy's disturbance in the capital, it will only bring pain to your relatives and pleasure to your enemies. I hope Your Majesty will reconsider."

Emperor Yanwen glanced sideways, staring coldly at the princess: "Are you telling me what to do?!"

The princess subconsciously clenched her fists and stared up at Emperor Yanwen with a cold, chilling gaze. "Is it because I can't lift the knife anymore? That's why you're so arrogant?"

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Emperor Yanwen smiled and nodded. "Since Li Yang has pleaded for you, I will show mercy and spare your lives. However, the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion was attacked, and the fate of his family is unknown. I am deeply saddened."

"Now the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery is the commander-in-chief of the Southern Border Army and is currently engaged in a war with Nanjing. If word of this reaches him, what will happen if he rebels?"

"After all, he was fighting in the front, while we were living peacefully in the back. Yet, we couldn't even protect his family. No matter what, we have to give him an explanation, right?"

"Right now, An Tangyi's heart is the most important."

When the princess heard this, she was so angry that she breathed rapidly. "What on earth are you going to do? This is different from what we agreed on!"

I asked you to take this opportunity to remove Tang Yi's military power, and remove Wei Yuan and Ning Chuan from their positions in the Imperial Guard, but you told me that you have to keep Tang Yi under control to prevent him from rebelling?

Did you take the wrong fake medicine or drink the wrong fake wine?

Prime Minister Fan Yong and the other ministers in the Fan Party also looked at the princess in astonishment. "Do you really control the emperor? Even if you control the emperor, how could he make such a move?"

"Asshole, what are you looking at Li Yang for? Listen to what I'm saying."

Emperor Yanwen sat on the dragon throne, looking down at the court officials from above, and said, "Tang Yi now controls 200,000 soldiers from the Zhennan Army, the Border Army, and the New Army. He also has nearly 10,000 martial arts masters commanding him, and all that incredible weaponry. If he were to rebel, who among you could stop him?"

"Even the great master Huangfu Zong died at his hands. If he leads his army back to Kyoto, you, my dear ministers, must stand before me. I... am afraid of death!"

When the ministers heard this, they felt a chill down their spines and their hair stood on end.

That’s right! Tang Yi killed two masters with ease. If he returns to Kyoto, who can resist him?

It cannot be stopped, absolutely cannot be stopped. Your Majesty is right. Now we must stabilize Tang Yi and not let him rebel, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Your Majesty is right. We must first stabilize Tang Yi and not let him rebel."

"That's right. If Tang Yi rebels, who can stop him? No one can stop him."

"Even Huangfu Zong died at his hands. We must be extremely cautious..."

"..."

All the ministers in the Zi Zheng Hall were talking about it, and even Fan Yong was a little scared. He was just preparing to expand the army, but before the army was even formed, Tang Yi came back and destroyed it.

At the beginning, Tang Yi brought a thousand soldiers and dared to break into the camp of 100,000 Zhennan Army to kill the King of Zhennan. Now, if something happens to his sister and the woman, and he breaks into the mall alone and leads his troops back to kill them, they will be the ones who are in trouble.

If they weren't afraid in the past because they were outnumbered, how could they not be afraid now? This guy could even kill a Grandmaster, so would it be difficult for him to kill them?

When the eldest princess heard the discussions of the ministers, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood. It was she who took over the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion, but now she always felt like she was shooting herself in the foot.

"Prime Minister, I see that you seem to be hesitant to speak. You must have an idea. What do you want to do?" Emperor Yanwen's eyes fell on Fan Yong and he pointed directly at him.

Fan Yong's face darkened. "You have an idea? I didn't say anything!"

But when Emperor Yanwen nodded, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery killed Huangfu Zong and annihilated 200,000 elite troops from Nanjing. He has made great contributions to the court. I think you should reward him first to stabilize Tang Yi."

"At the same time, order people to quickly track down the whereabouts of everyone in the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion to reassure Tang Yi."

Emperor Yanwen raised his hand and stroked his chin, pondering for a moment before saying, "Well, my dear minister, you think the same as I do. I think so too. But what reward should I give you now?"

Fan Yong already had an idea in mind. What reward would he give? Of course, the wealth of the Zhennan Palace!

After Tang Yi conquered the shopping mall, the wealth of the Zhennan Palace and the shopping mall were almost all in Tang Yi's pocket. So he used his things as rewards, and everyone was happy.

He immediately saluted and said, "Your Majesty, Tang Yi killed the Grandmaster and annihilated the elite troops of Nanjing. His contribution is inestimable. I, this old minister, dare to ask for a reward on behalf of the Loyal and Brave Marquis. Your Majesty, please give the Prince of Zhennan the..."

Snapped!

Emperor Yanwen clapped his hands, raised his finger and pointed at Fan Yong, saying, "Your Excellency is truly wise. Why didn't I think of that? I'll do as you suggest."

"Come here, draft an edict for me. For his great contributions in pacifying the southern border, the Loyal and Brave Marquis Tang Yi is hereby appointed the new King of Zhennan, commanding all military and political affairs in the southern border."

"I hope he will continue to work hard and make new achievements."

The entire hall was instantly silent!

The eldest princess suddenly raised her head, her eyes could kill. Fan Yong was also dumbfounded, staring at Emperor Yanwen with his eyes wide open, his thoughts cut off for a moment.

Is that what I mean?

That’s not what I meant!

Tang Yi is now the governor-general of two regions, in charge of important military and political affairs. He is already extremely powerful. If he is given the title of King of Zhennan, won’t he be able to make a big move?

Is this to stabilize Tang Yi? Why does this guy seem to be eager for Tang Yi to rebel?!
