Jin Kingdom.
At this time, the capital and City of Wei were already in a state of panic. Murong Ke suddenly wanted to take back the military power of Tang Zhen who was guarding the border in City of Wei. Ye Chunnan openly refused to go to City of Wei to replace Tang Zhen and also opposed Murong Ke taking back Tang Zhen's military power.
Murong Ke firmly issued an imperial edict, asking Tang Zhen to hand over the military seal and return to the capital to report.
Almost all the ministers in the court held their breath, waiting for what Tang Zhen and Ye Chunnan would do next. Just as the imperial edict was sent to City of Wei, it was said that Tang Zhen colluded with Shui Yichen of Yuan Kingdom and intended to support Mo Rongyi to usurp the throne.
Time passed day by day and there was no news from City of Wei. After Tang Zhen got the imperial edict, he did not say anything at all. This was clearly not putting the majesty of the emperor in his eyes.
And Ye Chunnan, who opposed Murong Ke on the spot in the court, did not go to court for several days, which made people more suspicious.
"Your Majesty, Tang Zhen did not move in City of Wei. He did not take the imperial edict seriously at all. It seems that the rumors are true. He has long colluded with Shui Yichen to rebel. This matter must not be ignored." In the court, the cabinet minister Song Anqi stood up and said.
"Yes, if it continues, the consequences will be unimaginable." A minister came out and echoed.
One after another, other ministers stood up and agreed with Song Anqi's words.
Murong Ke was silent and looked at them calmly.
"Your Majesty." Lu Shiming stood up. "Marquis Jingning's collusion with Shui Yichen is purely a rumor. There is no evidence. It is too unreasonable to convict the general based on rumors."
"What about Ye Chunnan?" Song Anqi asked again. "Milord Lu, that day Ye Chunnan contradicted the emperor in the court and openly disrespected the imperial edict. You saw it with your own eyes. Now that a few days have passed, he said he was ill and did not go to court. It is clear that he wants to show off to the emperor."
Lu Shiming frowned slightly. He also did not understand why Ye Chunnan would impulsively contradict the emperor that day. According to Ye Chunnan's character, he should not do that.
There must be some reason for this.
"Your Majesty, Mo Rongyi once wanted to force you to abdicate and rebel. Although there is insufficient evidence, it is still suspicious. This time he came to the City of Wei with a plan. Your Majesty, please issue a decree. I am willing to lead troops to arrest Tang Zhen and Mo Rongyi." Teng Ye stood up and said.
Lu Xiangzhi looked at Murong Ke and said in a deep voice, "Sirs, I have a question. Why did the little prince want to rebel? Why would Marquis Jingning and General Ye help him? "
"Because … Tang Zhen and Ye Chunnan are old ministers of the former Emperor. Mo Rongyi is the younger brother of the former Emperor. They want to use Mo Rongyi to rope in those old ministers," Song Anqi said.
"I see." Lu Xiangzhi smiled faintly. "King Qin has already returned and is staying in King Qin's Residence. Is there still a need for you to do that?" Lu Xiangzhi asked. Although he did not know what Mo Rongyi and Ye Chunnan wanted to do, there must be a reason for their drastic change in behavior.
Teng Ye coldly said, "That is because the Qin Emperor wanted to seize the throne but was unwilling to do so. He used his own younger brother to do things for him."
This throne was originally Mo Rongzhan's! If he really wanted to seize the throne, it was completely justifiable. Today, 80% of the ministers in the court were previously loyal to Mo Rongzhan.
Teng Ye's words immediately made all the ministers bow their heads, because whether it was Mo Rongzhan or Murong Ke, they were all loyal to the Emperor.
"Are you all done?" Murong Ke, who had been silent all this time, finally opened his mouth and his eyes fell on Teng Ye. "I just want Tang Zhen to return to the capital to report. I have other arrangements for him. How do you see that the little prince wants to rebel, and how do you see that this is a conspiracy of the Qin Emperor?"
"Your Majesty …" Teng Ye frowned. Did the Emperor still believe that Mo Rongzhan would not take back the throne? "One must always be on guard against others. The rumor that Tang Zhen colluded with Shui Yichen is definitely not groundless."
Murong Ke said coldly, "Give Tang Zhen an order to return to the capital immediately and dismiss the court."
Teng Ye's eyes flashed with disbelief. At this point, the Emperor still believed those people.
"Let's go." Song Jiong patted him on the shoulder.
"Accompany me to see the Emperor." Teng Ye said. He had been with Murong Ke for almost 20 years. Although he had been severely punished, he thought that he was the most loyal person to Murong Ke in the world. He didn't want to see the country that he had stabilized with great difficulty being taken away.
Song Jiong frowned. "What do you want to say? I tell you, don't be impulsive, especially about Mo Rongzhan. You'd better be cautious. "
"Do you really believe that Mo Rongzhan doesn't want to return to this palace at all? How can a person who has been an Emperor only be a prince? "Teng Ye said coldly," Song Jiong, it has been so many years, you are still too naive. "
"I am not naive, I just believe in the Emperor's judgment." Song Jiong said.
Teng Ye stopped and looked back at Song Jiong coldly. "The Emperor's judgment? Have you forgotten what happened to the Priest Hall? The Emperor didn't even want his life for that woman. As long as it is about that woman, can the Emperor still make a rational judgment? "
"You are crazy! Have you forgotten what punishment you received before? "Song Jiong scolded.
"It is precisely because I remember that I have to remind the Emperor." Teng Ye continued to walk towards the Mental Cultivation Palace Hall.
Song Jiong was unable to stop him. "Why do you still not understand? The Emperor doesn't like being in this palace. If Mo Rongzhan really wants the throne, then the Emperor will definitely offer it with both hands. Since Mo Rongzhan said that he only wants to be the Qin Emperor, then he will not rebel. "
"When did you become Mo Rongzhan's dog?" Teng Ye asked.
"You are too stubborn." Song Jiong said.
Teng Ye no longer paid attention to Song Jiong as he walked towards the Mental Cultivation Palace Hall to see Murong Ke.
After Fu De went to report, he walked out with a smile. "Lord Teng, the Emperor is temporarily not seeing anyone. It is best if you return."
"The Emperor is not seeing me?" Teng Ye was flabbergasted. Why would the Emperor not want to see him?
"That's right, Lord Teng, the Emperor looks tired." Fu De said with a smile. However, his tone was firm. He would not allow Teng Ye to disturb the Emperor.
Song Jiong chased after him. "See, you still haven't given up."
"I will wait here for the Emperor." Teng Ye said in a deep voice.
"Teng Ye, what are you trying to do?" Song Jiong was not in a good mood. "Could it be that you think that you are the only clear-headed person? That the Emperor is so easily deceived?"
If it wasn't for that woman, he naturally wouldn't think that the Emperor would be so easily deceived. However, the Emperor had once risked his life for that woman. So, even if he was to be abandoned again, he still wanted to let the Emperor know that if he didn't kill Mo Rongzhan, then the Jin Country would definitely be in chaos.
Song Jiong felt very tired. He knew that Teng Ye was loyal to the Emperor. Regardless of whether it was in the past or now, Teng Ye always forced his way of thinking onto others. Song Jiong thought that after so many years, Teng Ye would no longer be as stubborn as he was in the past.
"Then just wait here." Song Jiong said. "You will regret it."
