Chapter 167  : The eldest Princess and Emperor Sheng Wen’s meeting at the soothing Lake (1)

Seeing the people from the palace, the Three Ducal Ministers and the others did not dare to delay.

They quickly put on their clothes and hurried to the palace.

No one knew what was being discussed in the Royal study apart from them.

In the left Premier’s residence.

Emperor Sheng Wen called for a group of important ministers overnight, and he got the news immediately.

In the study room.

The Butler hurriedly pushed the door open and entered, his expression urgent.”Master, something big has happened.

The four Azure Dragon guards are dead!” The left Prime Minister’s face was calm.

He seemed to have expected this.

“Why aren’t you angry, master?” The left Prime Minister looked at him calmly.”What’s the use of being angry?” The Butler was at a loss for words.

He observed his expression and carefully said,””A large group of Imperial Army soldiers has appeared outside the manor and surrounded us.” “Only the Imperial Army?” “Yes.” The Butler nodded.

The left Prime Minister shook his head.”You look down on His Majesty too much.

There might still be room for negotiation.

Since he has made up his mind to take me down, do you think he will let me go?” He laughed at himself.

“I’m afraid he already knew what we did when we sent our men to kill Fu Xianhe.

” “That’s impossible!” The Butler hesitated before asking.

“Since he knows, why didn’t he stop us?” “This is just a guess.

Maybe he really doesn’t know.” The left Prime Minister said.

He pointed at the teapot.

The Butler understood and quickly went forward to pour him a cup of tea.

He took a sip.

“Based on my understanding of him, I’m afraid that the people from the” shadow “Department are hiding among them.

If I dare to escape, they will capture me at the first moment.

At that time, the entire left Premier’s residence will suffer.

” “Do they really exist?” The Butler was suspicious.

“What do you think?” Putting down his teacup, Prime Minister Zuo stood up from his chair.

“I’m going to take a bath and change my clothes.

I’m going to the palace to meet the Emperor.

” “Master, you ...” “Hurry up and go!” The left Prime Minister’s face darkened.

“Yes.” The Butler quickly left.

After a while.

A luxurious carriage drove out of the left Premier’s residence but was stopped by the Imperial Army outside.

The general in charge asked,”His Majesty has decreed that no one is allowed to enter or leave.” The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the left Premier stuck his head out.”I’m going to the palace to meet the Emperor.

If you’re worried, you can follow me.” The general thought for a moment and left a group of people to guard this place.

He brought the rest of the people and “protected” him as he rushed to the palace.

In the car.

The left Prime Minister shook his head bitterly.

He had been an official for so many years.

He had climbed from a nobody to his current high position, but he had been tricked by a dog that he had raised casually.

Listening to the sound of the heavy rain outside, his heart was surprisingly quiet.

As if he was taking a cursory glance at the flowers, he recalled his experiences over the years.

After a long time.

All of this turned into a sigh.”Who can escape from fame and fortune?” He closed his eyes and rested.

When the carriage arrived at the palace, Emperor Shengwen had already received the news.

The Imperial Guards at the palace gate let him in, but the general still led his men to “protect” him.

They arrived at the Imperial study.

The left Prime Minister kneeled on the ground.

He did not use his cultivation to resist the rain, so he was completely drenched.

But his back was very straight.”I, Zuo liangcai, am here to plead guilty.” In the Imperial study.

Emperor Sheng Wen looked at the ministers present.”You may all leave!” “We will take our leave!” Everyone bowed and left.

When he left the Imperial study, he saw Zuo liangcai kneeling on the ground.

At their position, it was necessary for them to maintain their composure, and they did not show their emotions on their faces.

After a short pause, he turned around and left.

After they left, eunuch Zhu came out with an umbrella and stopped beside him.”Why bother?” Zuo liangcai laughed bitterly.”I was afraid of being poor when I was young.

When I grew up, I couldn’t control the restlessness in my heart when I saw silver.

I would always think of ways to get it.” “His Majesty has ordered Zuo liangcai to be locked up in the Imperial prison.” Zhu Gonggong announced.

Lei Yuantai and Qin Fangzhen didn’t leave, they were waiting outside the Imperial study.

At this moment, he hurriedly stepped forward.

Lei Yuantai personally sealed his shoulder blades and scattered the literary Qi on his body.

With a wave of his hand, the surrounding Imperial Army soldiers rushed forward and escorted him to the Imperial prison.

As soon as he left the palace, the officials who had received the news rushed to the palace and met him at the gate.

One by one, they knelt on the ground and begged His Majesty to show mercy.

As time passed, more and more people knelt outside the palace gates.

The next afternoon.

The heavy rain was still falling, and those who were supposed to be there were already there.

Only then did the Imperial Palace send out a decree, accompanied by a large number of Imperial Army soldiers, divine sword guards, and sacred martial department members.

The general in the lead held a list of names, and anyone whose name was called was taken down by the divine sword guards or the sacred martial division.

A few minutes later.

Two-thirds of the people kneeling on the ground were gone.

The rest of the people were also frightened, afraid of becoming one of them.

“His Majesty has decreed that everyone present today will be demoted by one rank and fined a year’s salary.

All of you are to quickly disperse.” The general said.

He didn’t need to say anything.

The remaining people had lost their courage and wanted to leave this place of trouble.

Just as he finished speaking, someone rushed out in a hurry.

He didn’t know.

The names of those who left the fastest were secretly noted down by the general.

The divine sword guards.

Xiao ran was stopped just as he was about to go back.

“Is there something?” Xiao ran stopped in his tracks and looked at Shen Yiming suspiciously.magic
