Novel Full Chapter 2140
At dawn, the grand expedition into the imperial palace, within the great hall of the Abyss.
Officials began to arrive one after another. The people walking in front of them were none other than Prince Qi, Luo Bei Wang, Su Qi, and his uncle Luo Bei Wang.
Because of the disappearance of Crown Prince Su Yun, the First Prince Su Mo was also left behind in the Imperial City, walking together with a few other princes who had a good relationship with him.However, what surprised the civil and military officials even more was that the Shadowguard commander, Tu Yue, who rarely appeared in public and even more rarely went to court, was actually wearing a proper official's uniform as he silently walked among the officials.
Tu Yue was like a shadow, keeping a low profile and remaining silent. He looked inconspicuous, but he made all the officials in the imperial court have no choice but to treat him with caution.
Tu Yue didn't greet anyone, and very few people around him dared to take the initiative to talk to him.When all the officials of the imperial court were seated, the eunuchs shouted "His Majesty has arrived!" and the officials all kneeled down, shouting "Long live the king!".
With a dignified expression, he walked into the main hall and sat down. He waved his hand, "All my beloved officials, please rise!"
"Thank you!"
Su Qian swept his gaze across the crowd. When his gaze landed on Tu Yue, it flickered slightly before he said, "Everyone, my dear officials, who has a song to play?"
"Your Majesty, the crown prince has been missing for a long time and has yet to be found. This humble subject believes that we should send more people to investigate more suspects!"
Su Qian frowned and said, "We have given all our authority to Lord Tu to investigate this matter. The crown prince, as the king of the kingdom, has taken the risk outside the palace. Even if he comes back, I will punish him for his crimes! "
Hearing this, Luo Beiwei looked a little uneasy and retreated quickly.
The First Prince, Su Mo, stepped forward and said, "Imperial Father, your son has been informed that as soon as spring falls from the north that the Arguana and Borjin tribes have once again begun to fight.
The Barbarian King Butchahar had been missing from the Barbarian King Hall for more than half a year.The leaders of the two tribes were all rebellious. They were all fighting over the war supplies.
The barbarian race and the barbarian race have started to fight amongst themselves, making it difficult for us, the people of the northern border, to fight against each other.
Although the Marquis of Beiming City had long returned to command and defend the barbarian army, the situation in the battlefield was chaotic. It was time for the servants to use their men.
I have been in the northern border for many years and am now concerned about my fellow soldiers and the local citizens of the northern border. I hope that Father will grant me his blessing and allow me to go to the northern border to defend the border! "Luo Bei Wang and the group of officials from the Crown Prince's faction could not help but look at Su Mo with complicated expressions.
Now that the crown prince was no longer around, the First Prince would definitely take advantage of the situation and rise to prominence.At this moment, he was most worried about being sent to the north again, away from the center of power.
However, Su Mo didn't mention ascension, and instead proposed to return to the northern border. This move was naturally "retreat in order to advance".
He was so generous and selfless. If the emperor were to send him to the north, wouldn't he be too biased and underestimating his eldest son?Moreover, the crown prince had made a mistake and disappeared. Su Mo had already won quite a bit of support from the old official, so it was even more impossible for him to carelessly send him to the northern territories.
Luo Bei Wang and the group of officials from the crown prince department had ugly expressions on their faces, as if something bad was about to happen.
Emperor Nether Enlightened looked at Su Mo with a smile that was not a smile and said, "That's right, that's good. He's so worried about the country and the people. As expected of my eldest son."
"Since you want to go to the northern border so much, I shall grant your wish. We will set out immediately and return to the northern troop to listen to the Duke of Zhenbei's teachings!"
"Huh?"
Su Mo who had a sincere expression earlier was stunned for a short moment, and he raised his head to look at his "father" with an expression of disbelief.
Not only him, even the entire imperial court was stunned!
This king doesn't follow common sense!?
Luo Beiwang's face lit up as he stood up and clasped his hands together, "His Majesty truly loves this people like children. Even after the disappearance of the crown prince, he was willing to send the eldest prince to the north. Your subjects are truly impressed!"
"Your majesty is enlightened!" Immediately, many officials cheered.
Su Mo's face was unsettled, he was mute, and he suffered unspeakably, practically to the point his scalp exploded!
However, he still feigned joy and expressed his thanks, "Thank you for royal father's permission! Your son will definitely go to the northern border and continue learning humbly from Zhenbei! "
Emperor of the Underworld waved his hand, indicating that Su Mo could leave. Then, he said, "Honored Guests, is there anything else you need?"
Seeing that none of the officials said anything, Su Qian continued, "Everyone knows that our Emperor was assassinated three years ago. Fortunately, the Emperor took action and everything was fine.But because of the assassination, the Grand Emperor wanted us to go to the Royal Tomb together and cultivate in seclusion for a period of time. "
When the officials heard this, they were all surprised.
"Your Majesty, the imperial government can't do without you!" an old official exclaimed.
Emperor Nimrod waved his hand. "Sigh, how could I ignore the Emperor's intentions? Moreover, my cultivation has shown signs of breaking through. I also want to take this opportunity to cultivate together with the Emperor."
As for the matters of the imperial government, I shall leave it to the Qi King during my closed door training.When the civil and military officials heard this, they finally understood why they were at the meeting.
The emperor was still not confident enough to leave matters of the imperial government to the Qi King. He needed Tu Yue, an absolute confidant, to supervise from the side.
This was tantamount to arranging for two ministers from the other countries, one in the light and one in the dark.
Although the crowd of officials felt that it was a bit sudden, no one dared to object. After all, no one had the courage to disobey the Supreme Emperor Su Jue's will.Not to mention that the Qi King was indeed capable, and he had Tu Yue overseeing him in secret. Nothing could go wrong with him.
The person with the ugliest expression in the hall was none other than Su Mo.
The Emperor would rather hand over the imperial court to the Qi King than allow this eldest son of his to practice martial arts. Furthermore, he sent him to the border, so it was easy to imagine his status …
The officials looked pitifully or mockingly at Su Mo. Only Tu Yue looked at Su Mo with a bit of envy, knowing that the First Prince had left a fiery pit …
After the Emperor descended, the Qi King and Tu Yue followed him to the imperial study.
"Royal brother, do you really want to go into seclusion with the Supreme Emperor? Why is it so sudden? " Su Qi was puzzled, he hadn't heard anything before yesterday.
Su Qian's face was solemn as he said, "Supreme Emperor, you must be worried that the emperor level sword intent assassin is the Sword God that shook the Immortal Palace.
"Thus, I have made preparations in advance to go to the Royal Tomb and cultivate in seclusion, so as to guard against unforeseen events."
Hearing that, the Qi King understood quite a bit. "So it's really because of that sword god that came into being? The way the Great Emperor arranged it is rather safe. With the protection of the Tomb of the Emperor, it should be absolutely safe."That's right, royal brother, that brat, Ye Fan, has yet to return to the Divine Dragon Clan and has yet to return to the Residence of Northern Marquis. It can't be that he is real …"
Emperor of the Underworld waved his hand. "My Prince Consort Ye has returned. Commander Tu has already investigated this matter and it has nothing to do with him.
At this very moment, a mere Prince Consort was unable to cause much trouble, so he didn't bother about him anymore."Prince Qi, please take care of the imperial government for us. We trust you, so we entrust the entire world to you!"
"Don't worry royal brother!" "Chendi will bow and serve you to the fullest!" The Qi King had a serious expression on his face.
With a gratified expression, the Emperor nodded his head. "You may leave. I would like to discuss something with Lord Tu."
The Qi King knew about the shadow guard's matters and wasn't someone he could interfere with. The shadow guard was someone who restrained him, so he naturally didn't dare to say too much and respectfully took his leave.
After Su Qi left, the "Emperor of the Underworld" let out a long sigh and lazily sat on the chair."This emperor is really tired in front of all these people! Even if it's easy to remember all these red tape, it's still tiring and boring …"
The corners of Tu Yue's mouth curled into a rare smile. "Perhaps it is because of Sir God of Swords' ancestor, the Xuanyuan clan, that they do not wish to remain on the throne for long."
Ye Fan nodded, he had indeed understood a bit more, and then asked, "Today at the top, there shouldn't be any flaws, right?
I followed all of your instructions. I followed the habits of the Emperor and his tone of voice. "Tu Yue carefully considered for a moment before saying, "Overall, there shouldn't be any problems. However, there are a few old officials who are mature and intelligent. They might have their suspicions.
"When the time comes, I might ask for advice or ask about it from the Goddess of Swords."
Ye Fan said in a deep voice, "I don't have the time to waste this time with them. If they have these thoughts, help me deal with them in secret, no matter what means you use!"
Tu Yue shuddered and nodded in understanding. "I understand."
At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from outside.A eunuch reported, "Your Majesty, the empress wishes to see you."
