Forbidden Palace, Imperial Study Room.
Emperor Liang sat upright and listened quietly to Captain Hei's report.
When he learned that Qin Feng had accepted the persuasion to surrender and had brought his people back to the city, Emperor Liang's eyes were not at all relaxed, but even more grim.
Since Qin Feng returned to the capital, there have been many battles between the emperor and his ministers, but they always ended in Emperor Liang's compromise.
This time, especially!
Qin Feng was becoming more and more uncontrollable, and the uneasy premonition in Emperor Liang's heart became stronger and stronger.
Li Qian and Lin Taibao stood in the center of the imperial study with their heads lowered, not daring to talk rashly. They could only constantly signal each other with their eyes to advise Liang Emperor.
But feeling the chill emanating from Emperor Liang's body, neither of them dared to speak.
It wasn't until Captain Hei retreated that Emperor Liang's cold gaze fell on the two of them.
"During the previous trial of Xie Bi, weren't you two very good at speaking?"
"Why are you mute now?"
"Isn't it possible that Qin Feng has scared him out of his wits?"
Emperor Liang glanced at Lin Taibao, his heart filled with contempt and disappointment.
Before Qin Feng showed up, Emperor Liang had always regarded Lin Taibao as a serious problem and believed that the fight between this old fox and Qin Feng would be a lose-lose situation.
In this way, he can be a fisherman steadily.
As a result, Lin Taibao was suppressed by Qin Feng everywhere and could not even lift his head.
Emperor Liang was greatly disappointed, and his eyes slowly moved to Li Qian.
"Second brother, the investigation of Xie Bi's collusion with the enemy is your responsibility. I want to hear what you think."
Li Qian's head was lowered extremely low, his hands were clenched into fists, and his palms couldn't stop sweating.
I thought that I could take this opportunity to get rid of Qin Feng's faction once and for all.
Who would have thought that Qin Feng would be so bold as to directly lead his soldiers to rob the court, take hostages, and force Emperor Liang to submit.
This "feat" can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented.
Supervising the Xie Bi case was an opportunity given by Emperor Liang to Li Qian. Obviously, Li Qian failed to live up to Emperor Liang's trust.
Now that there is such a big commotion, Emperor Liang himself has to come forward to wipe his ass.
Li Qian knew very well that his weight in Emperor Liang's heart had been greatly reduced.
Just give up? Absolutely impossible!
Li Qian was unwilling to give in, and immediately summoned up the courage, gritted his teeth and said: "There is still a chance!"
"Since Qin Feng has returned to the city and agreed to be temporarily imprisoned for investigation, we might as well kill him in prison without stopping!"
"As long as Qin Feng dies, the remaining people will be just a mob and there is nothing to worry about."
"As for what kind of chain reaction will occur, Erchen is willing to bear the responsibility."
After hearing Li Qian's opinion, Emperor Liang's eyes became a little strange. He couldn't tell whether it was disappointment or disgust.
Li Qian didn't dare to raise his head, but he clearly felt Emperor Liang's eyes scrutinizing him like a gleam on his back.
Just when Li Qian began to sweat on his forehead, Emperor Liang's voice finally sounded, and he sighed helplessly.
This sigh means that Emperor Liang gave up on Li Qian.
"Bear it all? Who are you? Can you bear it?"
"No matter what the public opinion in the world is, they are all working towards me. Don't say that you have not entered the East Palace. Even if you have, you are only a prince."
"Second brother, if you're not in your position and don't want to do what you want, don't you even have the minimum patience?"
Hearing this, Li Qian felt half cold.
Emperor Liang couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Killing Qin Feng in prison is like a man who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal."
"I am the king of a country, not a sneaky rat. You and I can't use such dirty tricks!"
Li Qian lowered his head and clenched his fists, not because he hated Qin Feng, but because he was nervous about his future.
At this moment, Lin Taibao on the side bravely spoke.
"It's not that the saint can't kill him, but he can't kill Qin Feng."
"The hostages controlled by Qin Feng today occupy almost half of the court."
"Even those officials who were not taken hostage remained silent about today's robbery of the court."
"Obviously, the high officials in the DPRK are not disappointed with Qin Feng."
"When Qin Feng committed the capital crime, they were still waiting and watching. Now that Qin Feng has turned the tide and turned danger into safety, these officials will become more loyal to Qin Feng."
"The saint probably dreams of killing Qin Feng, but he is worried that Chao Gang will be in chaos because of it."
Lin Taibao's words were so direct that they seemed to be overstepping the mark.
But Emperor Liang didn't care. He looked at Lin Taibao, narrowed his eyes and snorted in his heart, this old guy is not too stupid.
But he's not very smart either.
"Lin Taibao, if you take my face into consideration and avoid the important, I will be happy. At least it proves that you have the ability to firmly hold the position of Taibao."
"If what you just said was all from the bottom of my heart, and you only saw one and not the other, then I will be very disappointed in you."
Lin Taibao's heart skipped a beat. He indeed only saw one of them. As for the second one that Emperor Liang said, he was completely confused.
But as a veteran of the court, he naturally had to be thick-skinned, so Lin Taibao blurted out the words without thinking.
"The second thing is not for an old minister to point out."
Ah.
Emperor Liang sneered in his heart. Either Lin Taibao was an old fox. The depth of the city was not a matter of concern. He was indeed thick-skinned.
Emperor Liang took out the secret letter from his hand and read it out calmly.
"Today's conflict at the law field resulted in heavy losses for the defenders."
"The imperial army was exhausted, the warriors in front of the palace were exhausted, and more than half of the temple soldiers were killed or injured."
"On the other hand, under Qin Feng's command, the guards of Tianji Camp lost eight people, and the soldiers of Beixi lost 127 people."
Hearing Emperor Liang read about the tragic battle losses, Li Qian and Lin Taibao looked at each other with confusion in their eyes, not knowing what Emperor Liang meant by this.
Emperor Liang put down the secret letter, crossed his hands, placed it on the desk, looked down at the two of them, and actually laughed, but this smile was extremely weird.
"Besieged and intercepted by the imperial army, palace warriors, temple soldiers, city patrol officers, dragon and tiger troops, and the east and west camps."
"Qin Feng saved the Xie family's father and daughter with minimal losses, and kidnapped the Minister of Punishment, the Minister of Dali Temple, Zhao Li, the commander of the Dragon and Tiger Army, and a group of military officials."
"And with all the family members of the Qin family, Ning family, and Xie family, they successfully escaped from the city gate."
"Second brother, Lin Taibao, what did you see after this incident?"
Although Emperor Liang's voice was soft and gentle, Li Qian's forehead was already covered with cold sweat, and he almost gritted his teeth and said: "The soldiers under Qin Feng's command are extremely brave."
Emperor Liang smiled and nodded, turning to look at Lin Taibao: "Taibao, what do you think?"
Lin Taibao took a deep breath. He was already extremely panicked, but he pretended to be calm: "The Kyoto garrison lacks training and is difficult to defeat the northern troops."
After hearing the two explanations, Emperor Liang let out a long "Oh".
He stood up slowly and slapped his hand on the desk. His expression changed drastically, and he became extremely angry!
