Dawn. Imperial Palace, Dark Abyss Hall.
New Chapter
The officials arrived one after another. At the very front were King Qi, Su Qi, the Imperial Uncle, Luo Beiwang, and the others.
Because of the disappearance of the Crown Prince Su Yun, the Crown Prince Su Mo was also left behind in the Imperial City, walking together with a few princes who were on good terms with him.
However, what made all the officials feel even stranger was that Tu Yue, the commander of the Shadow Guards, who rarely appeared in public and rarely attended court, was actually dressed in official robes and silently walking among the officials.
Tu Yue was like a shadow, low-key and silent. Although he seemed inconspicuous, all the officials in the court had no choice but to treat him with caution.
Tu Yue did not greet anyone, and very few people dared to take the initiative to talk to Tu Yue.
When all the officials of the imperial court were in position, the eunuchs shouted, "His Majesty has arrived!" The officials all knelt down and shouted, "Long live the Emperor!"
The Emperor of the Underworld, Su Qian, was dressed in a dark golden imperial robe with wind patterns. With a dignified expression, he walked into the main hall and sat down. He waved his hand and said, "My beloved ministers, please rise …"
"Long live Xie!"
Su Qian swept his gaze across the crowd of officials. When his gaze landed on Tu Yue's side, his eyes flickered slightly as he asked, "Dear ministers, who has a report to present?"
Imperial Uncle Luo Beiwang stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has been missing for a long time and his whereabouts have not been found. This humble subject thinks that we should send more people to investigate more suspects!"
Su Qian frowned and said, "I have already given Lord Tu full authority to investigate this matter. The Crown Prince is the heir to the throne, but he left the palace without permission and put himself in danger. When he comes back, I will punish him for his crimes! "
Hearing that, Luo Beiwang's expression turned uneasy and he quickly retreated.
The Eldest Prince, Su Mo, stepped forward and said, "Imperial Father, your son has learned in the past two days that the northern border has just entered spring. The Arguna and Borjin clans of the Wilderness have started fighting again.
It was confirmed that Barbarian King Buchahar had left the Barbarian King Hall for more than half a year, and his whereabouts were unknown.
The leaders of the two tribes had the intention to rebel, and were fighting over the war supplies.
The internal strife between the two tribes of the Barbarian Wasteland has made the common people of our Great Northern Campaign suffer.
Although the Marquis of Zhenbei had long returned to Beiming City to command the resistance against the Brute Race army, the situation was chaotic, and he needed manpower.
I have been in the Northern Region for many years, and now I am concerned about my fellow soldiers and the local people in the Northern Region. I hope that Imperial Father will allow me to return to the Northern Region and guard the border for the great expedition! "
Luo Beiwang and the other officials sent by the Crown Prince couldn't help but look at Su Mo with complicated expressions.
Now that the Crown Prince was not around, it was time for the First Prince to rise.
At this time, what he was most worried about was naturally being sent to the Northern Region again, away from the heart of power.
But Su Mo didn't want to change his position. Instead, he wanted to return to the Northern Territory. This move was naturally "advancing by retreating."
He was already so generous and selfless. If the Emperor still sent him to the north, wouldn't that be too biased and not taking his eldest son seriously?
Moreover, the Crown Prince had committed a crime and gone missing. Su Mo had already won the support of many old officials, so it was even more impossible for him to send him to the Northern Region.
Luo Beiwang and the other officials of the Crown Prince's faction all had ugly expressions on their faces as they vaguely sensed that something was amiss.
The Emperor of the Underworld looked at Su Mo with a smile that was not a smile and said, "Is that so …" Good, so worried about the country and the people, as expected of my eldest son.
Since you want to go to the north so much, I will grant your wish. Today, I will immediately leave and return to the Northern Army to listen to the teachings of the Marquis of Zhenbei! "
"Huh?"
Su Mo, who had a sincere expression just a moment ago, was stunned for a moment. He raised his head and looked at his' father 'in disbelief.
Not only him, but all of the martial artists were stunned!
This His Majesty didn't play by the rules!?
Luo Beiwang's face lit up with joy. He quickly stood up and cupped his hands, "Your Majesty is truly a wise monarch who loves the people like his own children. The Crown Prince is missing, but he is still willing to send the First Prince to the Northern Region.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Immediately, many officials shouted.
Su Mo's expression was unsettled. He had to suffer in silence. His scalp was about to explode!
But he still pretended to be happy and thanked him, "Thank you for your permission, Royal Father! Your son will definitely go to the Northern Region and continue to learn from the Marquis of Zhenbei humbly!
"The Emperor of the Underworld waved his hand, indicating that Su Mo could leave. Then, he said," Dear ministers, do you have any other important matters? "
Seeing that none of the officials spoke, Su Qian continued, "Dear ministers, as you all know, I was assassinated by an assassin a year ago. Fortunately, the Grand Emperor took action, so I was safe and sound.
But because of the assassination, the Grand Emperor wants me to follow him to the Royal Tomb and cultivate in seclusion for a period of time. "
When the officials heard this, they all revealed looks of surprise.
"Your Majesty, the imperial court cannot do without you!" An old official quickly stepped forward and said.
The Emperor of the Underworld waved his hand, "Sigh, how can I ignore the Grand Emperor's good intentions? Furthermore, my cultivation has indeed shown signs of breaking through recently, so I also want to take this opportunity to properly cultivate with the Grand Emperor.
As for the matters of the imperial court, I will leave them to the King of Qi to handle during my seclusion. Chief Commander Tu will assist me from the side … "
When the officials heard this, they finally understood why Tu Yue was at court.
The Emperor was not at ease with the matters of the imperial court being handed over to the King of Qi. He needed Tu Yue, an absolute trusted aide, to supervise from the side.
This was equivalent to arranging for two ministers to assist the country, one in the light and the other in the dark.
Although the officials felt that it was a little sudden, no one dared to object. After all, no one had the guts to disobey the Grand Emperor Su Jue Xin.
Moreover, the King of Qi was indeed capable, and with Tu Yue secretly supervising him, there wouldn't be any trouble.
The person with the ugliest expression in the hall was none other than Su Mo.
The Emperor would rather hand over the affairs of the court to the King of Qi than let his eldest son practice. He even sent him to the border. One could imagine his status …
The officials looked at Su Mo with pity or ridicule. Only Tu Yue looked at Su Mo with envy, knowing that the First Prince had left a pit of fire …
After the court session, the King of Qi and Tu Yue followed the Emperor to the imperial study.
"Royal brother, are you really going to go into seclusion with the Grand Emperor? "Why is it so sudden?" Su Qi was puzzled. He hadn't heard anything about it yesterday.
Su Qian's expression was solemn as he said, "The Grand Emperor is worried that the assassin with the emperor level sword intent is the Sword God who shakes the immortal palace.
Therefore … "Make preparations in advance and go to the Royal Tomb to cultivate in seclusion, so as to be on guard."
When the King of Qi heard this, he understood quite a bit, "So it really is because of the Sword God that appeared out of nowhere …" With the protection of the Royal Tomb's great formation, it should be foolproof.
Oh right, royal brother, that brat Ye Fan still hasn't returned to the Divine Dragon Clan, and I haven't seen him return to the Residence of Northern Marquis. He really … "
The Emperor of the Underworld waved his hand, "My Prince Consort Ye has already returned. Chief Commander Tu has already investigated this matter clearly, and it has nothing to do with him.
At this critical moment, a mere Prince Consort wouldn't be able to stir up much trouble, so don't worry about him.
King of Qi, help me govern the court well. I trust you, so I entrust the world to you! "
"Don't worry, royal brother!" I will do my best! "The King of Qi had a serious expression on his face.
The Emperor of the Underworld nodded with a gratified expression, "You may leave. I need to discuss some matters with Lord Tu …"
The King of Qi also knew that the matters of the Shadow Guards were not something he could control. The Shadow Guards were keeping him in check, so he naturally didn't dare to say anything else and respectfully took his leave.
After Su Qi left, the 'Emperor of the Underworld' let out a long sigh and lazily sat on a chair.
"This emperor is really tiring …" Even if it's easy to remember all these red tape, it's still tiring. It's boring … "
The corner of Tu Yue's mouth curled up into a rare smile. "Perhaps it's because of this that the ancestors of the God of Swords, the Xuanyuan clan, are unwilling to stay on the throne for long." leaf
Fan Xian nodded his head. He did indeed have a deeper understanding of the situation, and then asked, "There shouldn't be any flaws in today's court, right?
I did everything according to what you said, the habits and tone of the Emperor of the Underworld. "
Tu Yue carefully considered for a moment and said, "Overall, there shouldn't be any problems. However, there are a few old officials who are old and shrewd. I'm afraid they will have some suspicions.
At that time, I might even come to Your Majesty … "His Excellency the God of Swords, or ask …" leaf
Fan Xian said in a deep voice, "I don't have the time to waste with them. If they have these thoughts, you can help me settle them in the dark … No matter what method you use!"
Tu Yue shuddered and nodded in understanding, "Yes..." I understand. "
At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from outside.
A eunuch reported, "Your Majesty, the Empress requests an audience."
