Chapter 404 Be A Good Minister to the Emperor

King yong le held a high position among the vassals, not because of his qualifications but because of his military power.

Xiangyang was originally rich and had 300,000 troops. Even if they wanted to rebel and become emperor, there was still a chance. Besides, no one could be sure of the difference between the number of troops on the surface and the actual number. Which of these vassal kings did not have private soldiers in their hands?

King yongle choked on his words and king minnan did not dare to make a sound, but his ugly face was still not put away.

Prince Hebei glanced at the brainless king of southern fujian. The two of them were grandfather's cousins. Although one was in the south and the other in the north, it was this kind of relationship that made the royal family more afraid, afraid that they would attack together. It was their close relationship that made Yun Wansheng grit his teeth but not move. Who didn't know that the two of them were famous for their ferocity.

"That one has to tell me that the assassination of the royal family in the capital city is not a trivial matter. Even this king is uneasy." Prince Hebei said that, but his expression did not look uneasy at all.

The other princes each had their own thoughts and glanced at the vassal king who had personal relations with him.

Soon, a joint name was added to Ji Xun's case, requesting that soldiers be sent to protect their personal safety and to find the assassin who was assassinated by king qin nan as soon as possible.

Ji Xun sneered when he saw the transcript. These people really had the face to do it. They just didn't know what kind of expression these people would have if he really showed up the assassin.

"Send these lists over to these princes and say nothing more." Ji Xun put a stack of envelopes aside, motioned for Zhuifeng to come and take them away, and ordered, "Don't disturb the other princes."

"Yes." Zhuifeng took the envelope and left, quickly disappearing into the moonlight.

Looking up at the open door, Ji Xun's office was above the drawn-out building, where he sat and watched the smoke billowing when the post was on fire. He went to ask Bai Wuji to help save the people, but the person who set the fire was king qin nan himself. This made Ji Xun wonder why king qin nan would make trouble for him, and those assassins also acted after the fire.

There was some fog that temporarily obscured Ji Xun's vision, making him unable to see the truth clearly.

Unable to figure out why, Ji Xun lowered his head and wrote down an order, calling out, "Guard Huang, order the Imperial Guard to protect the post house in three steps and one post. Which prince must have more than ten people with the Imperial Guard on his way, and if he meets any suspicious person, he will act first."

After Guard Huang left, Ji Xun said to the wind hiding on the roof, "Send men to monitor these vassal kings, including the Imperial Guard, and they will do nothing in return."

After giving the order, Ji Xun got up and stretched. The most he had done these days was to dispatch the secret guards and find something he had not seen before. He could not help but smile and say, "It will soon be dawn. Unfortunately, some people will never wake up and never see the splendor of this world again."

The Imperial Guard was ordered to protect all the vassal kings who were temporarily staying in the post house, but the situation of the court was not stable. These people did not dare to offend the vassal king even if they came to guard them. They could only do their duty to protect the vassal king from accidents, otherwise they would only die. As for what the vassals did, the Imperial Guard said they did not see them, but they did not know that their actions were all seen by Ji Xun's secret guards.

Under the guard of the Imperial Guard, Zhuifeng still came and went freely. He sent the letter to the study of several vassal kings in less than an hour. It was destined to be a sleepless night for some people, but with the list in his hand, he could not discuss with anyone what to do. The only thing he could do was to strengthen the guard with his cronies.

Ji Xun had asked Zhuifeng to deliver the letter not only to beat the princes but also to make an example of them. Otherwise, they would be the chickens that Ji Xun made an example of, and also to tell them that they would be obedient subjects to the emperor after not touching them this time.

But how could Zhuifeng send the letter in without alerting anyone? It was not a warning. Ji Xun did not need to mobilize his troops if he wanted the king's life. He only needed to send out secret guards.

There were too many unjust and headless cases in the royal family, so it was not a big deal to die a few vassals who were about to be knighted.

After daybreak, it was only five days away from the palace banquet. Ji Xun did not let anyone seal the news at the post house and was soon informed by a group of ministers. However, no one dared to hand over the handkerchiefs without going to court, so they could only wait and see. Some timid people did not even dare to go out, and there were always guards around them.

The nobles were all afraid, and the people were even more terrified. Many of them were shut up, casting a shadow over the supposed bustling Capital City. Everyone was hoping that things would end soon and return to normal, so that they would not be the target of a bloodbath.

Su Mianyue took care of little eleven nights. It was not until Shi's fever subsided that he breathed a sigh of relief and asked little six to take care of Shi in the monarchy. Su Mianyue said wearily, "This monkey cub is a fool. I told you that it's important to keep alive at the critical moment. He can make himself half dead."

Although Su Mianyue was reprimanding him, he actually felt sorry for Shi's situation.

He was a boy in his early teens, but he had so many scars and several broken bones. Especially in this age when he couldn't be operated on, he would be crippled in the future.

"Our lives belong to our sister, and we will never betray her even if we die." His face was grim and serious as he answered, but a fourteen year old boy had a mature age that did not fit his age.

Looking at Liuu, who had such a wooden face since he was a child, Su Mianyue lamented in his heart. It seemed that those monkeys did not teach people well.

Patting the head of Liuu, who was not much shorter than herself, Su Mianyue sighed helplessly. She could not change Liuu's mind. She whispered, "You don't have to work too hard. Let them do what you can. You just have to protect Shi's safety."

"Sister, can Shi stay with us in the future?" Liuu looked up and asked.

"As long as he wants." Su Mianyue sighed and understood that little six was afraid that she would give up little ten. After thinking for a while, he said, "There will be a war in the Yan Country soon. I want to send you to the army. Your life is still long. It's not good to keep this restaurant."

"What about little eight?" Little six asked quickly, "There are no female generals in the army."

"Look at what xiao ba means." Su Mianyue did not reply.

"No more restaurants?" Liuu asked again.

Su Mianyue looked back at Liuu and saw that there was a look of reluctance in his eyes, "There are so many monkey cubs in the Purple Mist Mountain. It's time to come out and see the world. I've asked the person who sent master uncle back to bring a message. Someone will replace you soon. I need to help me train them with my heart."

"I see." Liuu nodded and sat back on the bed, his eyes on Shi as if he would disappear in a blink of an eye.

Seeing xiao liu like this, Su Mianyue did not persuade her. She was still a child. Some things needed them to experience to grow up, and she did not have time to be a confidant sister.

Taking his eyes back, Su Mianyue glanced at the gloomy sky and walked towards his room, but Bai Xiuzhu stopped him.
