Emperor Wu's cold and majestic voice echoed in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, as if it shook the "sun, moon and stars".
While Han Feng was shocked, he also knew that the "biggest event" of the day was finally here.
His Majesty, the Emperor, summoned me here today, of course, not to reward him based on his merits, but to settle the general ledger with him!
Han Feng, who had anticipated this moment, did not panic. Instead, he looked at Emperor Wu's intimidating gaze and said sternly: "Your Majesty, the villain only recognizes one of the three crimes you mentioned!"
"presumptuous!"
When Emperor Wu heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and the air seemed to condense at this moment.
After a few breaths, Emperor Wu finally said: "Well, since I said I wanted to talk to you, I will make an exception and give you a chance to defend yourself. Please tell me your reasons."
Han Feng took a deep breath and immediately said: "What your Majesty said, I did live in Dayan, and accidentally got into the position of young master in Dayan, but I can guarantee it with my life. I have never done anything like this." Anything that betrays and harms the Qianlan Empire.
In this regard, since the villain fled from Dayan, the soldiers and generals of Dayan he killed along the way are the villain's best "voucher of fame"! "
After hearing the words, Emperor Wu pondered for a moment and said: "Okay, since you have indeed abandoned the high-ranking official Houlu of the Great Yan Empire and proved your determination with your actions, I will temporarily believe in your loyalty and absolve you of the crime."
Han Feng bowed and thanked him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Then he said: "Your Majesty, the second crime you mentioned is that the villain ruined the marriage between King Zhenbei and King Zhennan. I will accept this crime!"
When Emperor Wu heard this, he couldn't help showing a hint of surprise.
Han Feng said: "However, Your Majesty, the villain has made a three-year agreement with the King of Zhenbei. It is still undecided whether the engagement can be canceled at this time.
I dare you, your majesty, to wait until I complete this agreement with the King of Zhenbei, and then completely break off this marriage. Your majesty will kill or cut into pieces, so I will have no more complaints! "
After hearing this, Emperor Wu nodded again and said: "Okay, as long as you are willing to plead guilty, I can also obey you.
But you just said that you only admit to one of the three crimes. So, you don’t admit to the third crime either? "
Han Feng nodded directly and said: "Of course I don't admit it, Your Majesty, the villain asked himself when he was undergoing a trial in the inner sea and did not violate the trial rules. Is it just because other colleges lost too many geniuses that he should bow down? Confess the crime and let him be slaughtered.
So, what's the use of this inner sea trial? What use are the imperial laws established by His Majesty? "
Hearing Han Feng's answer, Emperor Wu's scowl gradually faded, but he sneered: "You are very eloquent and very good at excusing yourself."
"Your Majesty, everything the villain said is true, and there is absolutely no excuse!"
"snort……!"
Emperor Wu's expression returned to indifference and he said: "Okay, do you think using "rules and regulations" as a shield can save your life?
Do you know that the interests of the empire are above all else? Those people you abolished in the inland sea trial are all geniuses carefully cultivated by their respective colleges and families. Your reckless actions have provoked many conflicts for the empire, and How much damage has it caused? "
Emperor Wu said condescendingly: "Han Feng, I can tell you clearly that this time, your life has indeed been saved, but you should understand that for everything you have done, someone else would have died thousands of times.
You were able to survive only because King Zhennan came forward last night to save your life! "
"King Zhennan!"
When Han Feng heard these three words, he couldn't help but feel shocked. He never thought that this empire legend, Dugu Nianxue's father, would actually come forward to protect him.
Emperor Wu said: "The Dugu family has been loyal for generations, and King Zhennan is the mainstay of the country. He has made countless contributions to the empire throughout his life. If he comes to save your life, I will naturally give him a face and leave you a way to survive."
but……"
Speaking of this, Emperor Wu's eyes suddenly became sharp.
"But even though your life was saved, you lost so many geniuses in the empire this time, and even the Heavenly Spiritual Vein, which had been rare for hundreds of years, was damaged in your hands, making many noble families in the imperial capital furious.
Not only do I have to suffer such losses now, but I also have to appease them for you. How should you settle this account with me? "
Looking at Emperor Wu's sharp eyes, Han Feng already understood.
In fact, today's court debate between himself and Emperor Wu was just a "process" deliberately followed by His Majesty.
In fact, everything has been decided. Until this moment, what Emperor Wu said was his true intention.
Emperor Wu wanted to settle a score with Han Feng. He abolished the state religion, Yingying, Tiange and Fengxi Fourth Courtyard, and many other geniuses.
You must know that being able to become geniuses in the top and first-class colleges proves that these people's talents are already the top geniuses in the Qianlan Empire, and they may even become the "mainstay" of the empire in the future.
Especially Shangguan Shengyun, a rare possessor of the Heavenly Spiritual Vein whose future is limitless.
Now that Han Feng has destroyed all these people, the losses caused are quite heartbreaking for His Majesty the Emperor Wu, who is sitting on the throne of the world. How could he let Han Feng go so easily.
Since you have affected the future of the empire, you must give your future to the empire!
This is not only a transaction, but also Emperor Wu's imperial intention.
He wanted to completely control this young man who had brought him many accidents and make him a stable chess piece!
And Han Feng had already anticipated all this, and he had already settled this account for Emperor Wu.
Without any hesitation in his heart, Han Feng slowly raised his head to look at Emperor Wu, but suddenly asked back.
"Your Majesty, in this Inner Sea Trial, Shangguan Shengyun and I are in a life-and-death conflict. The final result is that either they will be abolished or I will be abolished.
But has Your Majesty ever thought that if I were deposed, the empire's losses... would be even greater? "
"Um……?"
As soon as Han Feng said this, Mr. Hong's pupils in the palace dilated in shock, and Emperor Wu on the dragon throne was also slightly startled.
Immediately, Emperor Wu couldn't help but sneered, "You mean, is it possible that your value is greater than Shangguan Shengyun and all the geniuses you have destroyed combined?"
Han Feng calmly replied: "Since the villain can destroy them by himself, it naturally proves all this."
The smile on Emperor Wu's face grew brighter after hearing this, but there seemed to be a chilling light in his eyes.
"Haha... Han Feng, you are more arrogant than I thought!
Yes, you did defeat them with your own strength. You are extremely powerful. As far as I know, you are also a genius with both physical and mental skills, which is indeed rare. "
Speaking of this, Emperor Wu had a look of ridicule in his eyes.
"But, do you really think that I don't know how you defeated Shangguan Shengyun?
It is said that when you and Shangguan Shengyun finally fought, you also gathered innate power. Do you really think that I don't know how you did it?
Without Zhang Dingnan's protection, do you think that thing would still be safely at your place now?
By relying on external objects to become powerful, do you really feel that your value exceeds the Heavenly Spirit Vein and those geniuses?
Han Feng, I'm afraid you overestimate yourself and underestimate me! "
Emperor Wu's words were like daggers, and every sentence pierced his heart. His eyes seemed to have seen everything through Han Feng, and he had even named the hole in Han Feng's body!
However, even so.
Han Feng, who was kneeling in front of the hall, had no fluctuation in his expression, as if he had expected all this.
The next moment, Han Feng said to Emperor Wu: "Your Majesty, the villain is brave, please step aside, and I will prove my worth to your Majesty."
"Be bold!"
Manager Hong scolded him sharply again.
However, when Emperor Wu looked at Han Feng, who was still calm at this moment, his eyes became confused.
The young man in front of him, who had exposed all the secrets by himself, was still able to remain calm until this moment. This was beyond Emperor Wu's expectations, and a trace of curiosity arose in his heart.
After a slight hesitation, Emperor Wu finally nodded and said: "Okay, I will give you one last chance!"
After a moment, the door of the Hall of Supreme Harmony was closed tightly, and a powerful and invisible restriction rose quietly, sealing off the entire hall.
In the main hall, Emperor Wu looked at Han Feng again.
"Now, you and I are the only two people in the palace. How on earth are you going to prove it to me?"
