Danyang Palace.
In the hall, Sima Daoheng was sitting upright in a brocade robe, with a gloomy expression on his well-maintained cheeks. After he became the King of Danyang for so many years, even when Xie Chong saw him, he was respectful and did not dare to confront him head-on.
Lin Feng slapped him in the face like this today.
Lin Feng deserves to die!
You know, Sima Daoheng is now the current Danyang King and the leader of the royal family.
His power and influence are no less than Xie Chong. Even Xie Chong needed to negotiate with him on many matters in order to govern smoothly. Otherwise, the governing strategy promoted by Xie Chong will not be implemented.
As for the emperor, he is his junior.
He is the emperor's uncle.
Sima Daoheng's eyes were stern as he stared at a middle-aged scribe below and said in a deep voice: "Du Mi, I have told you what happened to the Xie family. This son Lin Feng is extremely arrogant."
"I never took the initiative to target him. I went to the banquet to mess with Xie Chong's arrangements. But Lin Feng jumped out on his own initiative. His behavior is tantamount to being an enemy of my Danyang Palace. It can be described as arrogant and domineering."
"How can you be arrogant and domineering in front of me? I want to deal with him, what do you think?"
Du Mi, who is nearly forty years old, is Sima Daoheng's chief adviser and also manages the daily affairs of the palace for Sima Daoheng.
However, he acted very cautiously and said seriously: "Based on my humble opinion, Lin Feng may not be able to deal with this directly. Please think again, Your Majesty."
"Why?"
Sima Daoheng's face suddenly fell.
He was very angry.
He is the dignified King of Danyang and the Zongzheng of the Jin State. He is responsible for managing the clan and noble affairs of the Jin State and is the leader of the royal clan. He is powerful, but he can't deal with Lin Feng. Isn't it a big joke?
Du Mi explained: "Your Majesty, there are three reasons for humiliating your position. First, after all, Lin Feng is the envoy of the Qin Dynasty and comes on behalf of the Qin Dynasty. Killing Lin Feng will cause the Jin State to be criticized, and it will also be equivalent to declaring war on the Qin Dynasty. After all, both sides We have already united, so it would be inappropriate to kill Lin Feng again."
"Secondly, there is news in the palace that Lin Feng has been honored as a guest minister by His Majesty, and will go to Qi State on behalf of Jin State to promote the alliance between Qin State, Jin State and Qi State. This shows that Lin Feng is in His Majesty's heart. status."
"The most important thing is the third point. It is said that Lin Feng has a connection with the eldest princess Xu Liuli. The relationship is very subtle, and even His Majesty is very approving of it. Therefore, Lin Feng is like a future son-in-law that Your Majesty values."
"Three reasons add up. Killing Lin Feng would be tantamount to offending His Majesty and the Qin Dynasty. Even this matter will be targeted by Xie Chong. My lord, this is not a cost-effective thing. Killing one person will endanger the health of the people." How unwise it is to conquer the enemy's country."
Du Mi looked worried.
Lin Feng is difficult to deal with.
Xie Jun's previous move had caused uproar in the city and public outcry. Even Xie Chong was frustrated and then took the initiative to seek peace.
Sima Daoheng flicked his sleeves and sneered: "Mr. Du, how could it be as serious as you said?"
Du Mi said: "Your Majesty, this is so serious."
Sima Daoheng said disdainfully: "First, Lin Feng is the envoy of the Great Qin. Now the Great Qin needs the Jin State, does Win Jiuxiao dare to fall out with our Jin State because of Lin Feng? No, now the Great Qin needs the support of the Jin State .”
"Secondly, Lin Feng is a guest of the Jin Kingdom. It doesn't matter how much your Majesty thinks of him. He should be killed. Thirdly, as for Lin Feng's relationship with Xu Liuli, it has nothing to do with me. Don't worry about it. Especially Lin Feng. Feng is not a prince-in-law, so I will kill him."
Du Mi's cheeks twitched, with a look of helplessness on his face.
He doesn't agree.
Because the price paid for killing Lin Feng was too high.
Du Mi said seriously: "My lord, now that you are the leader of the clan and hold a high position, you should be cautious. Such wanton behavior is the most likely to cause problems."
Sima Daoheng's expression became increasingly unhappy.
Du Mi is too self-righteous.
So disobedient.
Sima Daoheng narrowed his eyes slightly and ordered: "Whoever comes, please inform Ling Tong to come to discuss the matter."
"Here!"
The attendant turned around and went down to inform.
Not long after, another middle-aged scribe entered. This person is slightly fat and not tall, with a smiling Maitreya look on his face, giving him the feeling of spring breeze.
This person is Ling Tong.
He is also Sima Daoheng's counselor, and his status is second only to Du Mi. He entered the hall, bowed and said: "Ling Tong, a humble servant, pays homage to the prince."
Sima Daoheng said: "Ling Tong, I have come to you to discuss dealing with Lin Feng."
Ling Tongtong: "If the prince wants to deal with Lin Feng, he will immediately make plans as long as he gives the order."
There was a smile on Sima Daoheng's face, he nodded slightly and asked, "Don't you want to ask the reason?"
Ling Tong held his head high and said loudly: "The king has an order, and the humble duty only needs to be carried out, so it doesn't matter what the reason is. In the humble post, even the emperor's orders are not as good as the prince. Give the humble post a salary and let the humble duty support the family. The person who lives hand to mouth is the prince, not the emperor.”
"Hahaha……"
Sima Daoheng stroked his beard and laughed.
"Ling Tong, you sycophant."
Du Mi looked solemn and scolded: "If you do this, you will only harm the prince. How can you do this?"
Ling Tong raised his head and said loudly: "Mr. Du, why did I harm the prince? The prince behaves upright, sets an example for our Jin clan, and helps His Majesty to stabilize the government. If I don't have the king's support in the Jin court, Tianzhu Stone, I’m afraid that old thief Xie Chong has already taken over all the power and is even threatening the emperor.”
"Your Majesty has made outstanding contributions to the Kingdom of Jin, but your Majesty, using the prince, still restrains the prince, which really shouldn't be done."
"As for Lin Feng, what if I kill him?"
"Is it possible? Who dares to embarrass the prince?"
Ling Tong looked like he was thinking about Sima Daoheng, but his words made Du Mi even more angry.
"you you……"
Du Mi was furious when he heard this.
This is a sycophant.
Du Mi gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, this Ling Tong deserves to die. He is so flattering, please kill this guy."
"Kill him. Why did I kill Mr. Ling?"
Sima Daoheng glared at Du Mi and said, "I think Mr. Ling is very good. Is there something wrong with me? I like someone who contradicts and disobeys me everywhere? People like Mr. Ling are what I need."
Du Mi sighed inwardly.
Good advice is off-putting!
Du Mi had followed Sima Daoheng for many years. He did not want Sima Daoheng to make a mistake, so he said again: "Your Majesty, please think again."
Sima Daoheng flicked his sleeves and said forcefully: "Du Mi, stop talking nonsense. I have made up my mind. Lin Feng is self-righteous. He thinks that in our country of Jin, if you can be arrogant and domineering with a sharp mouth, that is a big mistake." Absolutely wrong. I will not let him live until tomorrow."
Ling Tongtong: "Your Majesty is wise. If Lin Feng is spared today and the news spreads, I am afraid that people in the government and the public will talk about it, saying that the Prince was humiliated by Lin Feng and dare not say anything. By then, countless people will think that the Prince has lost power. Killing chickens to scare monkeys, necessary."
Du Mi was furious when he heard this. He stood up, walked directly in front of Ling Tong, raised his hand and slapped Ling Tong.
Snapped!
A solid slap sounded.
Ling Tong let out an ouch and fell to the ground, with bright red finger prints immediately appearing on his face.
Ling Tong was stunned for a moment.
Inside my head, there was a buzzing sound.
After a long while, Ling Tong came back to his senses. He looked at Sima Daoheng, knelt on the ground with a plop, and choked up: "My lord, you have obviously made a decision, but Du Mi is arrogant and self-righteous, and he has not treated the lord at all." Take it in your eyes. It's normal for a villain to be beaten. After all, Du Mi is like this all the time. But my lord, Du Mi is so domineering in front of you now. I'm afraid he will make decisions without permission in the future and not listen to your prince's orders."
Du Mi gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Your Majesty, you behave like a villain, follow the influence of others, and flatter others..."
"enough!"
Sima Daoheng flicked his sleeves and scolded sternly.
Du Mi said: "Your Majesty, please think twice."
Sima Daoheng said: "I make my own decision, and I don't need you Du Mi to intervene. In Danyang Palace, is it you, Du Mi, who makes the decision, or do I, the king, make the decision?"
thump!
Dumi knelt on the ground.
He looked frightened and said, "Your Majesty, I am humbled by my position for the sake of Your Majesty."
"I don't need it."
Sima Daoheng's eyes were cold and stern.
He turned to look at Ling Tong and ordered: "Ling Tong, it is up to you to make arrangements this time. You will mobilize the warriors from the palace, and then mobilize two grand masters to worship Lin Feng. Lin Feng, as the envoy of the Qin State, will be around you." There must be a grandmaster to protect you, so it is only safe to send two to worship.”
"I humble my duty and obey my orders."
Ling Tong immediately agreed.
Sima Daoheng waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please step back."
"I resign from my humble position."
Ling Tong and Du Mi all responded.
The two of them walked out, but Ling Tong's face looked contented. On the other hand, Du Mi's face showed a look of resentment and a sigh of regret.
He was very helpless.
After leaving the hall, Du Mi stared at Ling Tong, gritted his teeth and said: "Ling Tong, do you know that your arrangement will harm the prince. Qian will benefit and suffer losses, especially the prince is Zongzheng and a member of the royal family. The patriarch of the clan. Under this premise, if the king is still so domineering, it will cause trouble. You are also the prince, once the prince is affected, what benefits can you get? "
Ling Tong said: "You are worrying too much."
Du Mi said: "You are so flattering that your Majesty will be defeated step by step."
Ling Tong snorted, looking disdainful.
He touched the burning fingerprints on his face and said coldly: "Du Mi, you are jealous. I will retaliate for the hatred of today's slap. Don't look at you now, you are the prince's chief adviser. But the prince will not Always trust you."
"you……"
Du Mi became even more angry and flushed.
A look of anger.
Ling Tong held his head high and strode away.
Du Mi looked helpless, looked at Sima Daoheng in the hall, sighed helplessly and left.
As the Danyang Palace made quick arrangements to arrange the grandmaster realm offerings and mobilize warriors, the news spread out. Xie Chong was a little surprised when he got the news and learned about the lineup that killed Lin Feng this time.
Sima Daoheng really thought highly of Lin Feng.
Two masters were actually arranged.
Xie Chong immediately arranged for someone to call Lin Feng and Xie Xuan back.
Xie Chong's eyes fell on Lin Feng and said slowly: "Lin Feng, the news from Danyang Palace has just arrived. Sima Daoheng has dispatched two grandmaster-level ministers and fifteen first-class masters to ambush you on the street. .The location of the ambush is not far from Xie’s house.”
Lin Feng said: "I understand."
Xie Chongdao: "Sima Daoheng has arranged two grandmasters, aren't you worried?"
Lin Feng said: "I believe Xie Shangshu."
Xie Chong stroked his beard and smiled, without saying anything more. He nodded and said: "Since you believe me, please rest assured. The two masters sent by Sima Daoheng cannot threaten your safety. Of course, you must resist it in advance. After a while, my people will arrive quickly. It is almost evening now, so I will immediately arrange for Xiaoyou Lin to have dinner before leaving."
Lin Feng said: "Everything is up to Mr. Xie's arrangement."
Xie Chong immediately arranged for people to prepare a dinner. After dinner, Xie Chong arranged for Xie Xuan to send Lin Feng away.
Lin Feng left Xie's house and got on the carriage. The carriage moved forward slowly, bypassing the neighborhood where Xie's house was and arrived at Changqingfang ahead.
There are not many people in this area and it is relatively remote.
As Lin Feng's carriage was moving forward, he saw a group of men in black suddenly blocking the way on the official road ahead.
Gao Xiaoyu reined in his horse and stopped, saying, "Master, the robbers are here."
Lin Feng lifted the door curtain and looked around, and saw a group of more than ten people in front of him, all of whom were blocking the way.
The two leaders had gray hair and were holding sharp blades.
They are all master-level experts.
