Creation of the Universe

"Is this also what the princess meant?"

The Prime Minister turned to look at Shen Yunli, wanting to know what she felt.

Shen Yunli answered without hesitation: "I listen to my brother, and what father has done over the years is indeed too much. Even if we don't overthrow him, he has already aroused public resentment. It is only a matter of time before someone starts a rebellion.

Rather than letting the people of Jinning suffer the ravages of war, it would be better to follow my brother's plan and avoid many unnecessary casualties."

During this trip, Shen Yunli has become much more mature, and what he said now is very reasonable.

The Prime Minister nodded with great satisfaction, "It is a blessing for Jinning that the princess can think of the innocent people!"

As he spoke, he stood up and saluted Shen Zhan solemnly, and said with a stern look in his eyes, "I am willing to lend a helping hand, young master!"

Immediately afterwards, Shen Zhan told his entire plan to the prime minister. The latter also learned about the recent rumors in the city. It turned out that Shen Zhan was secretly fanning the flames. No wonder King Jinning ordered people to suppress it severely, but it was still difficult to eradicate it.

Among the rumors against King Jinning, the most damaging were those that exposed the various shady things he had done in order to seize the right to inherit the throne, and also involved the secret of selling the secret of the royal tomb to the Lingzhou Wang family.

But what King Jinning hated the most was that there were some things that he had not done at all, but people put the blame on him.

Shen Zhan smiled and said, "Who made him have such a bad reputation? Even if he didn't do it, people wouldn't doubt that he was capable of doing those things.

Anyway, their goal is to push him to the forefront and make him completely lose the support of the people, so even if some of the things are false, he deserves it!"

The Prime Minister also laughed, "Prince Jinning is furious about this matter now. All his minions have been reprimanded without exception. General Huwei and the patrol commander were the first to be beaten. I'm afraid the morale of the people is about to be dispersed.

"Your Excellency's actions are undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire, forcing Prince Jinning to do even more unorthodox things. You must know that righteousness brings many supporters, while unrighteousness brings few. His good days are almost over."

Hearing the news that just happened in the Jinning Palace today, Shen Zhan couldn't help but respect the prime minister.

Because he understood that if the Prime Minister had not planted his own spies among those officials and even in the palace, it would be absolutely impossible for him to get the news so quickly, let alone know it in such detail.

This is an important means, which can be used not only for self-protection but also for attack when necessary.

"Prime Minister, we should not linger here to avoid unnecessary trouble. Please coordinate our actions in secret and do not expose yourself until the perfect opportunity. I believe this plan will be a complete success!"

"Okay, I know what's going on."

In order to avoid possible eyes and ears, Shen Zhan and Shen Yunli chose to leave through the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

However, not long after they came out and were about to leave along the alley on the north side of the mansion, they suddenly felt a strong murderous aura coming from the other side of the wall.

Shen Zhan stopped first, and Shen Yunli also looked intently at the high wall on one side. After listening carefully, she could hear the sound of footsteps moving quickly from west to east, and the only place to the east was the Prime Minister's residence.

"Oh no! Someone is going to attack the Prime Minister!"

Shen Zhan quickly guessed the true intentions of these people, but he didn't believe that someone had discovered their conspiracy so quickly. Perhaps this was a deployment that had been made against the prime minister long ago.

Shen Yunli said anxiously: "The Prime Minister is in danger, brother, let's go back quickly!"

"Don't worry, I'll go chase them. You stay here and wait. If any of them slip through the net and escape, you'll catch them while you're at ease. It's best to keep them alive."

After Shen Zhan finished speaking, he jumped lightly and went to the other side of the wall.

The prime minister was walking slowly in the courtyard with his hands behind his back. He had previously dismissed all the slaves and maids in the mansion because he felt that Prince Jinning was licentious and oppressive to the people, especially in the past year, his actions had become increasingly excessive.

If this continues, Jinning's national destiny will not last long, and disaster is imminent. As the prime minister, how can he not be involved in it?

He was concerned about the people of Jinning and was unwilling to resign alone. He wanted to at least let the innocent people in the mansion find another place to go so that they could have a way out.

However, when he saw Shen Zhan tonight, he suddenly felt that the road ahead might not be hopeless. If Shen Zhan could overthrow King Jinning and eliminate the interference of the Lingzhou Wang family, perhaps Jinning could really restore its former prosperity and peace.

Thinking of this, the Prime Minister couldn't help but sigh, "The law of nature is cyclical, and karma will inevitably be repaid."

Just as he finished speaking, he heard the friction sound of iron hitting the stone surface from under the wall. The sound gradually approached, accompanied by some people's faint laughter.

The prime minister knew that someone was coming to take his life, and when he turned around, his eyes were calm, without any panic.

"Who sent you here?"

None of the five people in the group answered him.

"okay, I get it."

The Prime Minister seemed to have gotten the answer he wanted from the silence.

These people dragged the knives in their hands on the ground, and every step they took forward made a sharp sound. They were so unscrupulous because they knew that there were no guards in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they could kill people here without any hindrance.

Even if it creates some noise, that's fine.

However, these sounds did attract the loyal old slave to come and check what was going on. When he found that someone was committing a crime, although he was frightened, he still resolutely picked up a stick and loyally protected the prime minister.

"Master, please leave quickly. I will hold them back even if I die!"

The Prime Minister sighed, "Old Huang, I know you are loyal, but we have nowhere to escape tonight. It's a pity that I have implicated you."

"Master, how could that be? Aren't there guards patrolling the city outside the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"Since they dared to come tonight, it means that the guards are not on duty at the moment."

At this moment, one of the assassins stood up and interrupted fiercely, "Stop talking nonsense. The King of Hell wants you to die at three o'clock in the morning. Who can keep you alive until five o'clock? Prime Minister, go on your way in peace."

After saying that, he took the brunt of the attack, ignoring Lao Huang who was blocking his way, and swung his knife at the prime minister.

Old Huang was over seventy years old and was unable to stop the attack, but he still rushed forward desperately. Just as he had just said, he would protect the prime minister even if it meant risking his life.

This is the integrity and character of a person in the Prime Minister's Mansion, even if he is just an insignificant old slave.

"court death!"

The enemy turned the blade horizontally and changed direction to chop towards Lao Huang's head, but unexpectedly, when the knife was about to hit the real thing, it seemed to hit something extremely hard and was knocked away!
