Emperor Liang's furious roar echoed from the Imperial Study Room and seemed to echo throughout the Forbidden Palace.
"What I saw was that the imperial power was completely lost!"
"The elites of Kyoto that our Li family is proud of were ruthlessly slaughtered by Qin Feng like stragglers!"
"In less than half a month, this matter will spread throughout the whole country!"
"The warlords in the north, the wealthy families in the south, and Beidi will all treat me and the entire Kyoto defense as a paper tiger."
"Imitators will follow one after another. Anyone with military power must try the depth of Kyoto!"
"Qin Feng killed me all over today, and tomorrow someone will want to drag me out and hang me!"
Emperor Liang was so angry that he swept all the memorials on the desk to the ground.
Zhang Xiuye was so frightened that he trembled all over and quickly bent down to pick it up.
Emperor Liang stared at Li Qian and Lin Taibao, his eyes burning with anger.
"Half the court is looking at the Qin family, and all the wealthy families in the world are looking at Kyoto."
"If I listen to your slander and kill Qin Feng in prison, everyone in the world will laugh at me. I am a villain who only uses dirty tricks!"
"As the king of a country, what does it mean to lose your authority?"
"When the time comes, what I have to face is not just Qin Feng, but the northern border is turned upside down and the world is in chaos!"
Li Qian fell to his knees with a thud, his face turned pale.
Where had he thought about this level of stakes?
When he learned that Qin Feng had killed all the imperial troops and the samurai in front of the palace, Li Qian just marveled at the bravery of Qin Feng's soldiers.
But they forgot that the imperial army and the warriors in front of the palace represented the majesty of the imperial authority.
Xie Bi's case was originally a good card. As long as Xie Bi was kept in prison, Qin Feng could be slowly killed.
Even if you have to take action, you must send out heavy troops to kill Qin Feng in one go, without giving him any chance to resist.
But now, because Li Qian only focused on the storage position, he was too eager and lost his perspective.
A good card, but it was smashed.
Emperor Liang had high hopes for Li Qian. If Li Qian inherited the throne in the future, he could rely on means to balance the various forces inside and outside the court.
Obviously, Li Qian does not have this ability, let alone the qualifications.
As soon as Emperor Liang delegated power for a moment, Li Qian's ambition began to expand rapidly. In just a few days, he forced Qin Feng, the most dangerous family member, to rebel on the spot.
I'm afraid Li Qian hasn't even learned the basics of balancing!
Emperor Liang stared at Li Qian and asked in a deep voice: "I give you 20,000 people. You only need to send 10,000 people to annihilate the wealthy families in the south."
"And if you want to annihilate the wealthy families in the north, you will need 20,000 people."
"How do you use these 20,000 people to annihilate all the wealthy families in the south and the powerful families in the north?"
Li Qian's eyes were panicked and his brain was working rapidly, but the more he thought about it, the more confused his thoughts became.
In the end, he could only grit his teeth and say in a panic: "Back...back to the saint, I think it's the lesser of two evils."
"We should make every effort to annihilate the clans in the North. After the biggest hidden danger is eliminated, then..."
Before Li Qian could finish speaking, Emperor Liang interrupted coldly: "Second brother, my last illusion about you has been shattered."
Li Qian's body trembled violently, and he suddenly raised his head and looked at Emperor Liang unwillingly.
"Sage, what did I say wrong?"
Emperor Liang's eyes were tired, as if he had paid by mistake. He was weak and sat back on the throne in despair.
"If it were me, I would send 10,000 people to the north and keep the remaining 10,000 people in my hands."
"Whoever disobeys the nobles of the Northern Territory or the wealthy families of the Southern Territory, I will send out the remaining ten thousand people."
"The best strategy is to subjugate the enemy without fighting. In the same way, forcing the enemy to surrender without losing one's own strength is the right way."
Li Qian's eyes were blank for a while, and he looked at Emperor Liang blankly. At this moment, he realized how naive he looked compared to Emperor Liang.
Emperor Liang waved his hand, indicating that Li Qian could retreat.
Looking at Li Qian's back, Emperor Liang sighed hesitantly: "As long as Xie Bi is detained, Qin Feng can be blackmailed."
"Turning Qin Feng, a dangerous enemy, into a sharp blade in his own hands."
"By then, the peace talks and the suppression of the wealthy families in the south will be a matter of course."
"Without spending a single soldier, we can solve all the serious problems at the same time."
"Now, it has backfired, forcing Qin Feng to rebel, and the emperor's prestige has been completely lost..."
"Second brother, it's not that I haven't given you a chance, but it's a pity that you are not the material to inherit the throne."
Emperor Liang closed his eyes. After a long time, he took a deep breath and said tiredly: "Pass my order to have Dali Temple retrial Xie Bi's case."
Zhang Xiuye was already frightened out of his wits, and asked tremblingly: "Please tell me how the trial should be carried out, please?"
After hearing this, Emperor Liang was about to get angry, but he swallowed it back.
He leaned on the dragon chair dejectedly again.
My heart was full of helplessness.
A bunch of rubbish, I have to explain everything myself. Even though I have three heads and six arms, I still have no skills at all...
"Since Xie Bi was deposed and special cases were dealt with, and he was sent back for retrial, it is natural that special cases should be dealt with."
"Qin Feng defeated my army again. I am tired and don't want to play with Qin Feng anymore."
"Just settle for the next best thing."
The next best thing...
Zhang Xiuye was puzzled by what Emperor Liang said, but he did not dare to ask any more questions and hurried towards Dali Temple.
Looking at Zhang Xiuye's silent back, Emperor Liang snorted: "Only trash can live long in this forbidden palace."
When Zhang Xiuye conveyed the exact words of Emperor Liang to the Minister of Dali Temple.
The corners of Dali Temple Qing's mouth could not help but rise slightly, and he could not help but sigh softly: "Qin Feng, Qin Feng, you are really capable!"
Zhang Xiuye was confused: "Master Cheng, what do you mean by the saint's words?"
Ordinarily, Emperor Liang should be holding back his thoughts to torture Qin Feng to death. Why did he suddenly withdraw his troops?
Zhang Xiuye tried his best but couldn't figure out what Emperor Liang was thinking.
The minister of Dali Temple sent the chief register to retrieve the case records of Xie Bi and Qin Feng, while explaining in a serious and thoughtful manner.
"Do you think Qin Feng robbed the execution ground just to save the Xie family and his daughter?"
Zhang Xiuye's eyes were confused: "What else?"
The Minister of Dali Temple couldn't help but laugh: "If it is just to save the Xie family and his daughter, we should retreat quickly."
"Only a small amount of heavy armor is needed, and the remaining soldiers go into battle lightly and advance quickly and retreat quickly, so that they can escape from Kyoto before reinforcements arrive."
"But Qin Feng ordered almost all the soldiers to wear heavy armor and be uniformly equipped with armor-piercing weapons."
"He just went to the imperial army and the warriors in front of the palace."
Zhang Xiuye's heart skipped a beat, and his face was filled with shock.
There is no doubt about the status of the imperial army and the palace warriors in Kyoto. Qin Feng actually wanted to kill them all from the beginning?
Doesn't this mean that he and Emperor Liang will completely have a bloody feud?
Seeing that Zhang Xiuye still knew little about it, the Dali Temple minister couldn't help but sigh.
"Let me tell you more clearly. Qin Feng is going after the saint. Today's situation is a game between Qin Feng and the saint! Killing the imperial army and the warriors in front of the palace is just to make the saint lose face!"
