The ministers looked at him with disdain and prepared to launch another attack. Grandpa Jun's self-justifying argument was simply not something that could be refuted. Grandpa Jun was still a military general after all. The amount of knowledge in his stomach was limited. To be able to come up with a self-justifying argument was already difficult enough. To think that he would be able to come up with a flawless excuse was simply a pipe dream!
Unexpectedly, an old man with white hair and beard took a heavy step forward. This old man was tall and sturdy. Standing together with Jun Zhan Tian, they resembled two majestic mountains. His cheeks were bursting out like a leopard's beard. His face was ferocious and his body was filled with savagery. This was Old Man Dugu, second only to Jun Zhan Tian in the military. The capital's number one crocodile, Dugu Zong Heng!
Tian Xiang Kingdom's number one barbarian! Number one ruffian! Number one troublemaker! Number one family's leader! He was thick-skinned enough to be called a grandmaster. He treated ignorance as knowledge and used a broadsword to reason. All the civil and military officials in the imperial court were afraid of him. Even the current emperor could not do anything to him.
When he stepped forward, everyone could not help but mutter in their hearts: Didn't he not attend court for several years? Why is he here today? Picking such a sensitive period, this old man actually appeared here. It was a little unusual.
Dugu Zong Heng's round eyes widened like a bear in the forest. He cupped his fists and spoke in a rough voice: "Your Majesty, the Princess and all the court officials were assassinated. This is indeed a major event that shakes the stability of the country. Thanks to Old Man Jun … Jun Zhan Tian's prompt decision, this calamity was averted! This old man believes that Old Man Jun's actions were not wrong! Not only was he not at fault, he was also meritorious! A great meritorious deed! "
A skinny old man with a goatee sneered: "Such a traitor who brought disaster to the country and the people, causing chaos in the court. If this is considered meritorious, then wouldn't the people of the world despise him?"
This man with a goatee was the third most important person in the Meng family, Meng Youfang. Last night, his house was the most devastated. Not even half a roof tile could be found intact. As a high-ranking official of the imperial court, he brought his family to spend the night in the luxurious and prosperous capital. He was so depressed that he almost vomited blood. Now that he saw the two military bigwigs distorting the truth in front of everyone, he couldn't take it anymore and jumped out.
Dugu Zongheng was furious. He turned around, and fiercely glared at Meng You Fang. He opened his mouth wide, exposing his yellow front teeth. His voice shook the roof tiles, "F * ck your grandmother! You sour dog shit! Are you saying that I'm wrong? Huh?! " As soon as he got angry, his hair and beard stood up even straighter. He opened his mouth wide as if he wanted to swallow this thin and withered goatee in one gulp. He looked extremely ferocious.
Next to him, General Dugu Wudi immediately jumped out and shouted, "Meng You Fang, what do you mean by this?! My father is talking to His Majesty, how can an old brat like you interrupt! "He stretched out his large hand, wanting to grab his neck and lift him up.
All the bigwigs raised their eyebrows. This pair of father and son is really … unrivalled. They're actually playing hoodlums in the golden palace hall! His Majesty the Emperor was the instigator of this show. He couldn't help but be dumbfounded at this moment!
"Enough!" His Majesty the Emperor shouted angrily and stood up in a violent rage, "A bunch of civil and military officials are using filthy language in the golden palace hall. Moreover, they're even fighting! Are they shrews cursing the streets? "
The Emperor's anger immediately silenced everyone. Apart from the Jun Family, Dugu Family, Li Family, Meng Family, Song Family, Tang family, and Murong Family, everyone else, regardless of their rank, immediately knelt down and said in unison, "We have sinned. We are willing to receive punishment from Your Majesty."
Jun Zhan Tian's original intention was to capture the assassins. However, he handled the matter improperly and indeed caused chaos in the capital. He will be fined one year's salary and will be ordered to spend three months in seclusion. However, because of his meritorious service in capturing and killing the assassins, he will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold and a thousand year old ginseng. Dugu Zong Heng will temporarily be in charge of the military affairs. In addition, your families did not distinguish between right and wrong and only cared about your own losses. You'll all be demoted by one rank. In order to avoid chaos, your families' military authority will be returned to the military for a year.
After a year, you'll be punished. "One year's salary forfeited, half a month in seclusion, and a thousand taels of gold and a thousand year old ginseng! For Grandpa Jun, could this still be considered a punishment? This was simply a public reward and a public holiday …
Only the sentence 'Dugu Zong Heng will temporarily be in charge of the military affairs' seemed to have some other meaning. However, it was also very unreliable. All the ministers stole glances at the father and son duo of the Dugu family. Everyone thought: If this is the case, then it would be better to let that old man Jun Zhan Tian continue to be in charge. This father and son duo of the Dugu family are much more unreasonable than Jun Zhan Tian …
At the very least, Grandpa Jun is quite reasonable in normal times. However, this father and son duo of the Dugu family have never been reasonable. How could their family's private army fall into the hands of this father and son duo? How many will come back?
For a moment, almost everyone was cursing Meng You Fang in their hearts. Dugu Zong Heng was the mastermind behind His Majesty's actions, yet you still interfered. If this isn't overestimating your own capabilities, then what is it? It's fine if you're the unlucky one, but you're dragging us down with you. Who the hell are you …
Almost everyone had a dazed expression on their faces. Regardless of whether it was an act or not, at least on the surface, everyone looked very real. Standing in the imperial court, if one didn't have a few tricks up their sleeves, it would be very difficult for them to stay in the imperial court for long.
Only a dozen or so people still had their heads lowered in anger. Those who felt wronged were truly angry and unwilling. However, these people were immediately remembered by all the big shots: People who can't even understand this little bit of limelight are destined to be useless! When they return, they must teach their own sons and nephews to keep their distance from these people. Otherwise, who knows when they will be dragged into the water …
"Your Majesty and the others are the pillars of the country. To actually act like this in the golden hall … We are very disappointed! Incomparably disappointed! "His Majesty the Emperor was very angry, unable to restrain his anger! After a series of announcements, he said in a heavy tone, "This matter is decided. There is no need for anyone to say anything! Court dismissed! "
The Minister of Rites, Sun Chenghe, hastily shouted, "Your Majesty, please stay …" This person was Fatty Tang's father-in-law.
All the old people looked at him with disdain. Didn't you see that His Majesty was in a hurry to return to the palace to experience the 'pleasure' he had just experienced? To be able to benefit from both sides, to rule over the world, to play with people, to control them, to suppress all the families in the capital, and to bring peace to the entire capital. What a pleasure it was! Why did you choose to delay His Majesty at this juncture? Have you thought it through? You're really stupid!
"What else do you want?!" His Majesty the Emperor was obviously very angry. He was pretending to be angry at first, but once he was delayed, the fake also had the tendency to evolve into the real one.
"Your Majesty, according to our court's tradition, today is the annual Golden Autumn Festival. So regarding the matter of the Golden Scholar Banquet, should it be …?"
This Minister of Rites was obviously lacking a brain. It was not easy to be stupid! All the officials in the imperial court sighed inwardly. What kind of situation was this? Every family was mourning. Who was in the mood to care about the Golden Scholar Banquet? You brat, you're basically Stupid's grandfather — Old Fool. You have to be careful in the future. Don't get along with this idiot. Maybe you'll fall into his hands one day!
As expected, His Majesty flew into a rage. He said in a heavy tone, "Golden Scholar Banquet? We are in troubled times right now. What Golden Scholar Banquet? If my memory serves me right, the two ministers that I personally appointed to be in charge of the Scholarly Scholar Autumn Autumn Banquet are already on the list of those who were killed by the assassins! " After saying this, he used his finger to heavily point at the list on the table in front of him. Then, he swung his sleeves and left with a face full of rage.
No one saw that after His Majesty turned around, he grinned. It seemed that he was very happy …
Indeed, no one saw it. But, the old officials were secretly happy. As expected, they didn't get out of their own scheme …
After His Majesty the Emperor left, all the people who were kneeling on the ground patted their knees and stood up. The few big shots exchanged glances with each other. Everyone had a look of "as expected" in their eyes. Li Shang snorted and glanced at Jun Zhan Tian. He put on a fake smile and said, "Congratulations, Lao Jun. Is your grandson well? "
Li Shang had deliberately brought up Jun Zhan Tian's sad matter. Even if he couldn't topple Jun Zhan Tian this time, he could still make this old man angry. At the very least, he could make him feel disgusted. However, Jun Zhan Tian was immediately alerted by Li Shang's words. He didn't have the time to pay attention to Li Shang. Instead, he spread his feet and rushed in the direction that His Majesty had left. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty … I need to borrow that Imperial Physician Immortal. It's urgent."
All the big shots staggered.
It's hard to understand. There's really such a thing. I'm speaking the truth. Why are you all attacking me? Could it be that you're jealous of my good looks? But, this is also pardonable. Wa ha ha! Being handsome is like this! >
