There are priorities. In Shao Jianmin's eyes, everyone related to the Tang family is dying. Even if there is a problem with their identity, there is no need to pursue it at this juncture.

Shao Jianwu nodded hastily, the reason is this, it is really important right now.

You must know that after the plan to get Shao Heyang on the line of the big man surnamed Gu failed, the prospects of his Shao family in Peiguo became a little bit pessimistic.

Fortunately, His Highness Meng Wulie valued him and gave him the opportunity of the Shao family to surrender. Now he must do things well. As long as things are done well, his Shao family will not only be able to maintain their power in Peiguo, but maybe even go further.

The officials in the banquet hall were full of worries and each had their own ghosts. At the entrance of the hall, the owner of the palace finally arrived.

Wearing a solemn dress and a blue water crown hanging on his head, King Pei stepped into the hall under the guidance of the eunuch. His waist was straight and he looked energetic.

However, the pale and lifeless hair revealed his advanced age, and the wrinkles and vicissitudes at the corners of his eyes revealed his recent fatigue.

He couldn't help being physically and mentally exhausted, the army of the Lan Kingdom was overwhelming, rumors of his incompetence and lack of morality were spreading everywhere in the counties of the Pei Kingdom, and there was a bloody storm in the court.

All kinds of changes came one after another, and he was more devastated than anyone else.

"See Your Majesty!" When King Pei arrived, all the officials stood up to greet him, and the proper etiquette should not be abandoned at any time.

"Excuse me, gentlemen." Pei Wangqiang propped up his smile, as if he had sensed the unfavorable wind direction in the court, and his gaze eased a little only when he saw Tang Xuance.

He took his seat and waited with the officials, waiting for the second prince of Dasheng to come.

The appointed time arrived, but Prince Wulie was still not seen at the gate. King Pei was very patient, waiting cautiously and solemnly.

The officials were very quiet, and the atmosphere was strange and reserved, while Gu Chen poured his own drink, leisurely, and seemed out of place.

"cough!"

Suddenly Shao Jianmin coughed and broke the silence. He stood up from his seat and cupped his hands at King Pei. "Your Majesty, I have something to announce."

"Aiqing, please tell me." Pei Wang looked at him with doubts on his face.

Shao Jianmin straightened his spine in front of all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and spoke loudly.

"Nowadays, the army of the Lan Kingdom outside is suppressing the border, and the Luomen inside has disappeared for no reason. Our Pei Kingdom has reached a critical moment of life and death."

"There are rumors in the country that the disappearance of Luomen is related to His Majesty's lack of virtue and incompetence, and the signs of the end of the Pei Kingdom."

"Although the rumors are pure nonsense, the hearts of the people have been lost. The so-called water can carry a boat and capsize it..."

Shao Jianmin was talking eloquently, but King Pei suddenly interrupted him with an extremely ugly face. "What does Ai Qing mean by this?"

Shao Jianmin did not avoid the eyes of King Pei, and bowed seriously. "I implore Your Majesty, for the sake of the people of Peiguo, take the initiative to abdicate and give way to the Seventh Prince!"

"Second minister!" "Second minister!"...

As soon as Shao Jianmin finished speaking, all the officials in the banquet hall stood up one after another and echoed, as if they had already discussed it in private, breathing with one nostril.

"Seventh Prince?" King Pei was taken aback when he heard this.

"Master Shao, are you joking? Your majesty is in good health. How can you abdicate just because of rumors? What's more, the seventh prince has been weak and sick since he was a child, and suffers from eye problems. He has never participated in government affairs. What is your intention in electing him as King Xinpei?"

At the critical moment, Tang Xuance stood up, accusing angrily, really furious.

He guessed that the Shao family had been bought, but he didn't expect the betrayal to be so direct.

This is a banquet hall, not a court hall, and he chose to attack King Pei at such a time.

The reason for the attack is so ridiculous. What kind of rumors have caused the people to lose their hearts, and they don't even want a fig leaf!

Let King Pei abdicate and pass it on to the Seventh Prince, this move is even more insidious.

Prince Pei's eight heirs have their own merits in literature, Taoism and military strategy, but the seven princes have been weak and sick since childhood. Although they are sixteen years old, they look like eleven or twelve years old.

In addition, he suffers from eye disease, and knows nothing about the imperial court. If he becomes the king of Xinpei, wouldn't it be messed up?

This is a well-known thing, but Shao Jianmin pushed the Seventh Prince out, and it was obviously Wu Lie's instruction behind this!

The reason is very simple, once the Seventh Prince is allowed to inherit the throne, and he is blind and weak and at his mercy, the kingship of Pei Kingdom will be emptied!

It is conceivable that as long as this goal is achieved, Wulie will send someone he trusts to the Peiguo court as a regency in the next step, so as to firmly grasp the right to speak in Peiguo!

What Shao Jianmin did was clearly an act of treason, and the ministers seconded it, this is forcing the palace, it is simply disloyal and unrighteous, how can he not be angry?

Tang Xuance accused him angrily, but Shao Jianmin didn't seem to hear it. A trace of disdain appeared on the corner of his mouth. He just stared at King Pei and reminded: "Your Majesty, those who know the current affairs are heroes. Let the seventh prince inherit the throne. After all, the throne belongs to the Liu family. hands."

The royal family of Pei is the surname Liu of the human race, which has been the case since the Pei Dynasty. What Shao Jianmin said is true, the Seventh Prince is indeed also surnamed Liu, and has the qualifications to inherit the throne.

Just sitting on the throne without any power, does such a puppet royal family have any meaning?

Pei Wang looked at all the officials headed by Shao Jianmin, who were venting their breath from nostrils, with a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth.

He knew very well that if he abdicated, the power of Peiguo would no longer be in Liu's hands, and even if he could still sit on the throne, it would be just a puppet based on people's faces.

He would never want his ancestors to be ruined in the hands of his generation, but facing the confident officials and the one behind them, he felt a strong sense of powerlessness.

"My king naively thought that there was room for negotiation, but I didn't expect that person who was too lazy to even see me, and sent you vicious dogs out to bite people." King Pei said bitterly, feeling helpless and sad in his heart.

That Prince Wulie came to Peidu suddenly, how could he not know his intention, he was already prepared in his heart today.

He took a shower and changed his clothes early in the morning, and he was serious about today's banquet, just because he had an illusion that there was still room for negotiation between the two sides.

To put it bluntly, what Prince Wulie valued was not the territory of Peiguo, but the throne of the Dasheng Dynasty. What he wanted was Peiguo's support for him.

If this is the case, he has many ways to negotiate with him. Even if he is forced to choose sides in the end, he can at least temporarily save Peiguo.

However, Prince Wulie's dominance was far beyond his imagination. He didn't just want Peiguo to support him, or he didn't trust him at all.

He didn't give him any room for negotiation, and chose to oust him from the throne directly. Regardless of the old contract between the dynasty and the kingdom, he blatantly wanted to control Peiguo!

Today's banquet was held for him, but he was so arrogant that he refused to show up. Just letting all the officials force the palace, he would have to succumb!

"The matter has come to this, why should His Majesty miss the throne, and there is no point in showing off the power of the tongue."

King Pei scolded all the officials as dogs, and some officials bowed their heads in shame, while Shao Jianmin, the leader, blushed and was not panting.

"Your Majesty, Shao Jianmin deceived the emperor, please allow me to take him down!"

Among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, only Tang Xuance was still loyal. At this time, he angrily asked King Pei for instructions, intending to take Shao Jianmin down.

"Surnamed Tang, you are too busy to take care of yourself. What kind of loyal minister are you still playing?" Shao Jianwu responded with a sneer, but Shao Jianmin still ignored him and pressed King Pei.

"If the king is unwilling to abdicate, what will you do?"

Feeling Tang Xuance's loyalty, coupled with the heavy guards from the Water Dance Army outside the main hall, King Pei gritted his teeth.

"If Your Majesty persists in his obsession, I won't force it. It's just that someone in the hall is about to bleed." Shao Jianmin said flatly, and glanced at Tang Xuance slightly.

Not long after his words fell, a gust of warm wind blew into the banquet hall, accompanied by the melodious sound of Xiao.

The soldiers of the Water Dance Army guarding outside the hall suddenly fell to the ground one after another, and pink and fresh peach blossoms slowly flew in, fell into the wine on the desk, and landed on the minister's hair bun.

Tang Xuance's expression suddenly turned cold, and all the officials in the hall became commotions!

"Before anyone arrives, the sound of the flute arrives first, and the peach blossoms are flying all over the sky. Could it be that Peach Blossom Layman who has come?"

"Wuwang Pavilion is a war-level assassin. It is rumored that as long as he targets him, he will definitely die. Shura with countless dead souls in his hands!"

There was fear in the eyes of many ministers, and most of them were able to recruit the assassin apprentices of Wuwang Pavilion on weekdays. How had they ever come into contact with such a famous assassin?

What is a national war-level killer, Wuwang Pavilion's explanation for it is this, even if the two countries are at a complete disadvantage in a confrontation, and may be destroyed at any time, as long as a national war-level killer helps, it is enough to reverse the situation on the battlefield!

We must know that the national war is often a confrontation of millions of troops, and one killer dispatched can turn the situation around, which is worth millions of troops. One can imagine how powerful it is!

Layman Taohua did not show up, and the whole room was shocked, King Pei couldn't even sit still!

"What should come can't be avoided."

Tang Xuance seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, but he was very calm in his heart, muttering to himself.

When he received the peach blossoms, he knew that this scene would come soon.

The killer chose to attack him at this time, and he knew why.

It is nothing more than killing the chicken to warn the monkey, he is the chicken, and King Pei is the monkey!

His Water Dance Army guarded King Pei's safety. To some extent, it was King Pei's confidence to continue to control the government. Therefore, if he wanted to force King Pei to step down, he had to be dealt with first.

Let me ask, if he, Tang Xuance, was blatantly killed by a killer in the heavily guarded palace under the watchful eyes of the courtiers, what kind of impact would it have on King Pei?

I'm afraid that no matter how unwilling King Pei is to surrender his royal power, he will have to bow his head to that one!

That Prince Wulie never showed up from the beginning to the end, but he has made repeated moves, vicious and deadly!

The sound of the flute gradually became hasty, and the peach blossoms were also enchanting eyes, deducing a cold murderous intent amidst the splendor.

Everyone in the banquet hall stood up in panic, only one person was sitting gracefully, drinking wine as if no one else was there, and muttering something in his mouth.

"Pretending to be a ghost!"
