Liu Huchen was the only one left standing in the entire hall. He looked at Ye Tian with fear in his eyes.
He knew that he was no match for Ye Tian.
"You...what do you want?"
Liu Huchen asked with a trembling voice.
Ye Tian smiled faintly.
"General Liu, you should know that there are some things that are beyond your control."
As he spoke, he struck out with a palm and knocked Liu Huchen away.
Liu Huchen's body drew a parabola in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground.
His body twitched a few times and then stopped moving.
Ye Tian looked at Liu Huchen on the ground, without any mercy in his eyes.
A person like him is destined to become a stepping stone on his way forward.
After cleaning up Liu Huchen and others, Ye Tian immediately returned to his study.
He knew that there were more important things waiting to be done next.
At that time, the butler Fu Bo suddenly walked in and said in surprise.
"Your Highness King Yan, although these purple guards and this Liu Huchen deserved to offend His Highness, they are all trusted by the Emperor after all. If the prince executes them so vigorously and resolutely, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Emperor to explain to him."
Uncle Fu was the old butler in Prince Yan's mansion, and Ye Tian had to take his face into consideration.
So, he explained to him with a smile.
"The emperor did not issue an order on the spot to take any action against our Prince Yan's Mansion. These people did not hold the imperial edict. Breaking into the Prince's Mansion trespassing is a death penalty. I can say that they rebelled and resisted."
Of course Uncle Fu also knew that as the prince of the imperial court, King Yan had no problem dealing with a few secret guards in the palace.
So I won’t say more, but I still suggest it.
"I also know the prince's temper, but for the sake of the safety of Prince Yan's palace, I don't know whether to say something or not. You still have to go to the palace and explain it clearly to the emperor face to face, so as not to expose others' lies."
Ye Tian couldn't help but nodded after hearing what Uncle Fu said.
He also knew in his heart that Fu Bo's suggestion was very reasonable.
After all, these people are the emperor's cronies, and if they are not handled properly, they can easily cause the emperor's dissatisfaction.
So, he decided to go to the palace and explain it to the emperor in person.
Inside the palace.
The emperor was sitting on the dragon throne, his face terrifyingly gloomy.
He looked at His Highness Ye Tian and couldn't help but feel a little confused.
What kind of person is this Ye Tian?
He was able to kill his confidant Liu Huchen so easily without any concern for his own face and interests.
Is this his true nature, or does he have another agenda?
"King Yan, do you know your sin?"
the emperor asked coldly.
Ye Tian knew in his heart that he must remain calm and collected at this moment.
He took a deep breath and answered.
"I am not guilty."
A trace of doubt flashed in the emperor's eyes. He seemed not to have expected that Ye Tian would answer like this.
"You killed the purple guards and Liu Huchen in the palace without permission. Aren't you guilty?"
Ye Tian smiled slightly and then replied.
"I did not kill them, but they broke into my palace without permission and disobeyed my orders. I just executed them in accordance with the law."
The emperor's brows furrowed. He seemed not to have expected that Ye Tian would be so tough and calm.
"Even if they are at fault, you shouldn't care so little about human life. After all, they are all my confidants."
Ye Tian knew in his heart that he must be more humble and respectful at this moment.
So he lowered his head and answered.
"I know that I have sinned. I will plead guilty to your majesty. I also want to say something to your majesty. If anyone dares to break into the prince's residence and act beyond his authority, where is your majesty, the emperor? Aren't the nobles of the imperial court just human beings? Since I am in danger, Your Majesty, please restrain the secret guards in the palace and prevent them from doing anything illegal."
The emperor remained silent after hearing this, and he knew in his heart that what Ye Tian said was true.
If he cannot restrain his subordinates, other nobles in the court will follow suit, and the entire court will fall into chaos.
The emperor's tone softened a little, and he looked at Ye Tian and said.
"King Yan, I admire your courage and courage, but your behavior is too impulsive and hasty. I know that you are a talented person. If you can be more cautious and rational, then your future will be better." There will be no limit.”
Ye Tian was shocked, he felt the meaning of the emperor's words.
This emperor actually wants to win over him!
He took a deep breath and answered.
"Your Majesty has given you too much praise. I am just an insignificant person with no talent or future."
The emperor smiled slightly after hearing this. He seemed to be very satisfied with Ye Tian's answer.
"Although you are a little impulsive and hasty, your courage and courage are unmatched."
He paused, then continued.
"If you can serve the court, then you will definitely become a powerful force in the court."
Ye Tian knew in his heart that he must be more humble and respectful at this moment.
So he knelt down, kowtowed and said.
"I will live up to your majesty's expectations and serve the court. I am willing to obey all your majesty's arrangements and devote myself to the great Zhou Dynasty until my death."
The emperor was overjoyed after hearing this. He immediately declared Ye Tian to be the general of Zhenbei, responsible for guarding the northern border and cleaning up all the rebel forces in the northern border.
Although Ye Tian was a little surprised, he also knew that this was his chance.
If I still stay in the capital at this moment, I am afraid that the emperor's secret guards will still be in trouble with me. Going to the border to fight a war is not a bad thing if I can cultivate my own power while keeping a low profile.
You can advance, attack, retreat or defend. If someone wants to make things difficult for you, then even if you want to rebel, it will only be a thought.
Ye Tian did not accept the emperor's appointment immediately. He raised his head, looked at the emperor with firm eyes, and said, "Your Majesty, I have a request."
"Oh? Please tell me, King Yan." The emperor looked at Ye Tian curiously, not knowing what his request was.
Ye Tian took a deep breath and said. "I hope that your majesty can confer the title of Commander Ma Biao of Beizhen Fusi, and let him accompany me to the border to serve the imperial court."
The emperor was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Ye Tian to make such a request.
He looked at Ye Tian with a trace of doubt in his eyes.
"King Yan, why do you do this?" the emperor asked.
"Ma Biao almost killed you."
Ye Tian smiled and said.
"Your Majesty, I am not doing this out of selfish motives, but for the sake of the court. Although he has made mistakes, he is also a talented person. I believe that as long as he is given a chance, he will definitely contribute to the court."
