On the night when a banquet was held in the imperial city and awards were given to major martial arts academies, the main hall of the imperial palace was in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Dozens of important civil and military ministers from the DPRK lined up on both sides of the main hall, resuming the dispute that had lasted for several days.
"Your Majesty, Han Feng deserves to die for his crime. I pray that your Majesty will issue an order to immediately behead this son upon questioning as a warning to others!"
At this moment, among the civil servants group, a middle-aged official with a third-grade title bowed to the ground in front of the Jinluan Palace, his voice was like tears and his tone was firm!
The next moment, among the generals' camp, a third-grade general wearing a "leopard head patch" also immediately came out to pay homage.
"Your Majesty, the general believes that Han Feng cannot be killed. Instead, he should be given a large reward and announced to the world to show your Majesty's wisdom and virtue!"
Seeing that Emperor Wu, who was sitting high in the Jinluan Palace, remained silent and refused to express his position, the civil servant who requested the order to kill Han Feng turned his head and glared at the military attache and scolded him sharply.
"General Liu, you are covering up evil, promoting evil and punishing good, and are doing the opposite!"
The general's beard curled up and his eyes widened.
"Master Chen, you are arbitrating the public affairs for personal reasons, disregarding the laws of the country, and causing trouble to the government!"
"you……!"
The civil servant was so angry that he was trembling all over and was speechless for a moment. Another civil servant immediately appeared to support him and continued to ask for an order to punish Han Feng and kill him.
Correspondingly, someone from the general camp stood up and expressed firm opposition.
People from both sides are like "laying down dumplings". After you sing, we will appear on the stage.
Soon, twenty or thirty civil servants and generals were kneeling in the center of the hall, arguing endlessly, and the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony was in chaos...
Seeing such a chaotic scene in the court, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhen, who was sitting at the height of ninety-five, was leaning lazily on the dragon chair and raised his hand to close the door of the palace.
Then, Emperor Wu narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at his nose, and his nose looked at his heart. He was completely oblivious to the quarrels among the officials in the palace, and entered a state of "wandering in the ether".
Until nearly half of the candles in the hall were burned out, both sides were arguing so hard that their mouths were dry and their throats were filled with smoke.
Emperor Wu seemed to wake up slightly, sat upright and opened his eyes.
"Ahem...!"
Emperor Wu coughed slightly, and the hall immediately became silent.
All the ministers kneeling to His Majesty Luan looked secretly at His Majesty, wanting to know Emperor Wu's thoughts in advance.
However, to their disappointment, Emperor Wu just glanced at the ministers expressionlessly, and then spoke calmly.
"My dear friends, the major martial arts academies that won the Inner Sea Trial today have each received awards. Han Feng, a student from Tiannan Academy, has also been sent to the sky prison to await his fate.
Today I have summoned all the civil and military ministers of the third rank and above, just to listen to your beloved ministers to discuss the most suitable way to deal with this son. Your beloved ministers have been discussing for so long just now, so you should be able to come up with an idea. "
When the ministers in the palace heard this, they looked at each other in shock. His Majesty didn't listen to their advice just now, and he had no intention of making a decision.
Seeing His Majesty kicking the "ball" back again, a group of civil servants and generals kneeling in the palace couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
The two sides had a big quarrel just now, and their mouths were dry. They had already said all they could say. There was no way they would have another quarrel now.
Seeing that the ministers were speechless, Emperor Wu looked at the people standing in front of these civil servants and generals on both sides of the hall with a profound look.
On the left side of the civil service, headed by Shangguan Qingfeng, the Minister of Rites, who had just returned to Beijing, and a total of five ministers from the Ministry of Husbandry, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Punishments.
On the right side of the main hall, there is a camp of military generals, except for Xiong Tiangang, the Minister of War.
There were also two senior generals stationed in the imperial capital, and even Duke Chu, who had served as Minister of War and was now serving as an official at home, also appeared in the court!
Seeing Emperor Wu's gaze, these real "protagonists" in the court today knew it.
His majesty, the wise and mighty Emperor Wu, did not accept their tactics at all. Right and wrong, it was up to them, the veterans, to appear in person.
There was silence in the hall for a moment, and finally, Deng Jian, the Minister of Rites, took the lead to go out to worship.
"Your Majesty, please play!"
"I love you, just tell me."
Deng Jian looked solemn and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that Han Feng must be killed!"
"Oh... why did my dear love say this?"
"Your Majesty, the Inner Sea Trial is a grand martial arts event for the major martial arts academies in our country to select talents and find talents.
Although Han Feng has extraordinary talent, he brutally harms other contestants, which shows that he has a vicious heart and is extremely harmful.
Regardless of whether this person has any intention of repenting now, if this example is set and other contestants follow suit in the future, the significance of the Inland Sea Trial will no longer exist, and it may also endanger more imperial geniuses and damage the country's foundation.
Therefore, I believe that Han Feng should be sentenced to death to warn the world and other future generations who have this intention. "
As soon as these words came out, the civil servants in the palace nodded in agreement, and Emperor Wu also nodded slightly, but did not express any opinion, and turned his eyes to the general camp.
At this moment, Xiong Tiangang, the Minister of War, stepped forward to start the memorial. "Your Majesty, I cannot agree with what Master Deng said."
"Lord Bear, you might as well speak up."
Xiong Tiangang's eyes were gleaming and he said loudly: "Your Majesty, the Inland Sea Trial has long been stipulated. All contestants should be treated fairly as long as they do not harm the lives of others and do not violate the clear rules of the trial.
Han Feng has never violated the trial regulations. If it is just because he damaged the Dantian of these students and disciples, he must be severely punished and even sentenced to death. This will inevitably treat the inland sea trial rules established by our government as child's play. This is It truly shakes the foundation of the country.
In addition, I was ordered to supervise the whole process of this Inner Sea Trial. After some investigation, I have learned the reason for Han Feng's damage to the Dantian of the elite disciples of the Fourth Academy of the National Religion, Shadow, Tiange and Fengxi.
It was the disciples of these four colleges who first attacked the disciples of Tiannan College and destroyed their Taoist foundations, and then Han Feng retaliated. To put it bluntly, it was a battle of spirits between these juniors.
Master Deng's assessment of Han Feng's vicious nature and endless dangers is an exaggeration. "
"good!"
The old Duke Chu, who was thin but old and strong, echoed loudly at the moment: "Your Majesty, Master Xiong is absolutely right.
Although the veteran has been serving as an official at home these years, he often hears that during the Inland Sea Trials, there will be disciples from higher colleges who, relying on their college and family background, willfully oppress and even harm the disciples from lower colleges.
Some people tend to turn a blind eye to this kind of thing, treating the lives and fortunes of the injured disciples as nothing. But now that the disaster has fallen on themselves, they see each one of them as bigger than the sky. It's called consolidating the country's foundation, but it's actually revenge for personal gain. .
If Your Majesty were to kill Han Feng right here, wouldn't it chill the hearts of ordinary warriors who were not born into nobles, as well as countless students from lower academies, and make the people of the world doubt the justice of the empire?
In my humble opinion, these people who disregard the reputation of the country and only seek their own selfish interests are the worms of the country that deserve to be punished and eliminated! "
The old Duke's words caused the hall to buzz. The civil servants who had previously advised Han Feng to be executed changed their faces and sent chills down their spines.
When they saw the old Duke who had returned home from his official career appear in the court tonight, everyone felt that something was wrong. As expected, when the old Duke opened his mouth, he made such heart-wrenching remarks.
At this moment, the expression of Deng Jian, the Minister of Rites, also changed slightly. He could not think of a better answer for a moment, and several other ministers were also hesitant.
Seeing a hint of amusement in Emperor Wu's eyes, Shangguan Qingfeng, the Minister of Civil Affairs, finally came out, and when he opened his mouth, he made a shocking statement.
"Your Majesty, I also agree with what the old Duke Chu said!"
