An City, the Emperor Of Xiling's City
Ever since the Imperial City in the north of Xiling was forced to be given to Mo Xiuyao, the Emperor Of Xiling had moved his capital to An City. Fortunately, the Murong family had been running An City for hundreds of years. Although it was not as majestic as the Emperor Of Xiling's City, it was still one of the most prosperous cities in Xiling. After two years of major renovation by the Emperor Of Xiling, it barely lived up to the name of the Imperial City.
Speaking of which, it was no wonder that all the powers in the world did not like Mo Xiuyao. Not to mention the Northern Tribes. In the Royal House of the Northern Tribes, other than the King of the Northern Tribes who lived in a small stone city, the other nobles still lived in tents. The two powerful countries, Xiling and Da Chu State, had lost their Imperial Cities one after another. Da Chu State had to settle in Nanjing, while Xiling had moved to An City. Prince Ding, who held two Imperial Cities at the same time, did not care about whether he was going to ascend to the throne or not. It was no wonder that others were envious of him.
In the Zhennan Palace of An City, Lei Tengfeng sat on the seat of honor, looking at the empty hall below in a daze. He had once wanted to ascend to this position. He had been proud of Zhennan Palace since he was young. In his heart, the position of Zhennan Of Gojoseon was much more noble than the hypocritical position of the Emperor. After all, his father was much more powerful than the Emperor who only knew how to eat, drink, and play in the palace. Therefore, his dream was to gain his father's approval and become the ruler of Zhennan Palace. But when he really sat on this position, he only felt desolation and coldness.
"Prince, what should we do next?" In the hall, there were three generals and a few men who looked like civil servants. One of them asked worriedly.
In fact, these people's worries could not compare to Lei Tengfeng's. They had rushed all the way back to West-Hill, so the news from Feihong Pass had not reached them in time. However, Lei Tengfeng knew in his heart that his father … was already gone.
Lei Tengfeng's heart trembled and he felt a chill run down his spine after losing Jhennam Of Gojoseon's Zhennan Palace.
After a long time, Lei Tengfeng opened his eyes and calmly looked at everyone present. Lei Tengfeng raised his hand and a golden token appeared in his hand. On the token was a golden four-clawed golden dragon with the words' South Town 'engraved in the middle.
Other than the three generals, everyone else turned pale with fright. This was the most important token in Zhennan Palace. It represented the status and authority of Jhennam Of Gojoseon. Seeing the token was like seeing Jhennam Of Gojoseon. "Greetings, Prince!"
As soon as they saw the token, the more knowledgeable people's expressions changed. They knew that things were not good. It was already strange that the Crown Prince, who had been away on an expedition, suddenly returned. Now, he appeared with the token that represented the authority of Zhennan Palace, which the Prince would not give to anyone. How could they not feel uneasy?
"Everyone, please rise." Lei Tengfeng said in a deep voice, "Father has ordered that from now on, everything in the Zhennan Duke's residence will be under my command." Everyone looked at each other in dismay, but they were somewhat hesitant. If it were Jhennam Of Gojoseon, everyone would naturally follow Jhennam Of Gojoseon. After all, compared to the incompetent Emperor Of Xiling, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Jhennam Of Gojoseon was much stronger. However, if it were the Crown Prince of Jhennam Of Gojoseon, it would be different. It was not that Lei Tengfeng was not good, but Lei Tengfeng was too young. Compared to Lei Zhenting's reputation, Lei Tengfeng's reputation was much worse.
"We will only follow the Prince's orders." The three generals bowed in unison.
Lei Tengfeng finally understood why his father had specially chosen these three generals to follow him back. Naturally, there were more powerful and outstanding generals in the army. However, those people were all veterans who had followed his father for many years. Their military achievements were outstanding, and he could not suppress them. Those who had power behind them were afraid that they would be disloyal. However, these three people were all promoted from ordinary soldiers by his father. Moreover, they had followed Lei Tengfeng in the past and had a good personal relationship with him. Naturally, there was no need to worry about them being disloyal in the short term.
"Official Wu, what do you say?" Lei Tengfeng nodded and swept his gaze over the person who was still hesitating. Official Wu looked at Lei Tengfeng and respectfully said, "I wonder … what plans does the Crown Prince have?"
Lei Tengfeng's eyes darkened. He stared at the people in front of him and suddenly, a faint smile appeared on his lips. "I … plan to try out the chair in Yongan Palace. What do you think?"
Official Wu's expression changed slightly. He smiled and said, "Crown Prince, this … isn't this a little too hasty?"
Lei Tengfeng was about to speak when a guard outside the door reported, "Reporting to the Crown Prince, the Emperor has summoned you."
Lei Tengfeng snorted and said, "I know. You can leave first. "
Lei Tengfeng stood up and walked down from his seat. The people below hurriedly advised, "Crown Prince, the Emperor rashly summoned you at this time. I'm afraid he doesn't have good intentions. Crown Prince, please be careful." Lei Tengfeng smiled faintly and said, "I suddenly returned to the capital. It would be strange if he didn't summon me. Besides, some things … should be done sooner rather than later. "
Casually walking in front of Official Wu, Lei Tengfeng said with a smile, "Official Wu, don't you think so?"
Official Wu's face immediately turned pale and cold sweat quietly flowed down his forehead. "Si … Crown Prince …" Lei Tengfeng snorted and a cold light flashed. Everyone only heard the sound of a sword being sheathed. Lei Tengfeng had already walked out of the hall. Everyone lowered their heads and saw Official Wu lying on the ground with his eyes wide open. A trace of blood slowly blossomed on his neck.
"This subject swears to be loyal to the Crown Prince!"
Lei Tengfeng turned his head and said faintly, "Everyone, there is no need to be nervous. Everyone is Imperial Father's trusted aide. As for Official Wu … Imperial Father has already said that he … is not one of Imperial Father's people. The things are all here. Everyone can take a look. "Lei Tengfeng took out a booklet and placed it on the table. He didn't look at everyone's reaction and walked out.
Lei Tengfeng walked quickly in the Imperial Palace. Although it was called an Imperial Palace, it was more accurate to say that it was a converted mansion. After all, an Imperial Palace couldn't be built in a short period of time.
"Crown Prince Jhennam Of Gojoseon, Prince Rui, Lei Tengfeng requests an audience with the Emperor." Lei Zhenting said in a clear voice as he walked to the entrance of a gorgeous Imperial Palace.
The music in the Imperial Palace quickly stopped. After a while, an attendant came out and cautiously said, "Prince Rui, the Emperor summons you in." Lei Tengfeng nodded and was about to walk in when he was blocked by the eunuch. The eunuch smiled and pointed at the imperial bodyguards and several people who looked like generals behind him. He said, "Prince, this … Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
Lei Tengfeng raised his eyebrows and said, "I brought the three generals back to the capital to report on their work. What's wrong with that?"
"This …" The eunuch had a bitter face and was in a dilemma. He naturally knew that bringing the generals back to the capital to report on their work would require an audience with the Emperor. However, the Emperor also ordered that only Lei Tengfeng was allowed to enter.
Lei Tengfeng said in a low voice, "You don't have to worry. If the Emperor blames me, I will take responsibility." The eunuch didn't dare to insist on stopping Lei Tengfeng even though he was so domineering. After all, the people of Zhennan Palace had always been rude in the Imperial Palace. Not to mention the servants, even the Emperor had long been used to it.
