After the four princes all expressed their views, King Zhongwu's words became the last straw that crushed King Xuanwu.

It is a great crime to deceive the king and ignore the superior.

The three princes, two King Wu, and Lu Siqing, a highly respected civil servant, all sided with the Li family and concluded that King Zhongwu was guilty.

In the court, at this moment, all the courtiers could see that no matter the three princes or the two Wu kings, they definitely didn't really want to protect the Li family, but wanted to make use of it to severely damage the three princes and King Xuanwu.

The Li family doesn't have such a big face yet, allowing the three princes and two Wu kings to protect each other.

In the main hall, Emperor Shang looked at the scene below, narrowing his eyes slightly.

It's really strange that the fourth child, who has never asked about the affairs of the court, is willing to express his opinion.

"King Xuanwu, do you have anything else to say!"

After a while, Emperor Shang came back to his senses, looked at King Xuanwu who was kneeling below, and said coldly.

"Minister, I am wronged!"

King Xuanwu kowtowed and said in a low voice.

"Injustice?"

Emperor Shang sneered, "King Xuanwu, you have disappointed me so much."

King Xuanwu prostrated himself on the ground, clenched his hands tightly, showing the anger in his heart.

He knew what His Majesty meant by disappointment.

What His Majesty cares about is not deceiving the emperor, but that he did not do well enough in this matter.

"You will be fined for one year. In addition, the Qingyu Army you command will be temporarily handed over to King Rakshasa." Above the main hall, Emperor Shang withdrew his gaze and said indifferently.

"Father!"

The third prince, Mu Yao, was surprised when he heard his father's decision, and said anxiously, "This matter has not been clarified yet, please think again, father."

The ten martial kings each control an army of hundreds of battles. Depriving the military power is equivalent to cutting off the position of the martial king.

For the time being, there are too many variables. In the future, no one knows whether he can regain the military power of the Qingyu Army.

"Why, third child, do you have any objection to my decision?"

Shang Huang looked over and looked at the third son below, with a cold expression on his face.

"My son, don't dare."

When Mu Yao saw his father's eyes in the hall, he was shocked, and immediately lowered his head, not daring to say any more.

Inside the hall.

The courtiers looked at each other and accepted the result.

It is impossible for His Majesty to really convict a King Wu of deceiving his superiors just because of a piece of written evidence. Now this punishment is not light.

This is because the three princes and the two Wu kings all stood up and spoke for the Li family, otherwise, His Majesty might even just reprimand and settle the matter.

The weight of a King Wu, in His Majesty's heart, is much more important than that of the Li family.

Li family.

front hall.

"The crime of deceiving the king?"

After hearing what the young man in front of him said, Faru calmed down and said, "Your thinking is too simple, Your Majesty, you will never convict a King Wu just because of a piece of written evidence."

"I know."

Li Ziye took another sip of tea, and said calmly, "I'm just giving the other three princes a chance to attack. As for how hard they can stab this time, it depends on their own abilities."

Falu was startled when he heard the words, and said in surprise, "So you came up with this idea. It is possible. The battle between the four princes' factions has already heated up. If any party makes a mistake, the other three parties will not let it go."

"There's no other way. The Li family are so soft-spoken, so they can only take advantage of the situation."

Li Ziye sneered and said, "There is no one in the court who is difficult to handle."

"You little brat, you really want revenge."

Faru said with emotion, "Forget it, this matter is a foregone conclusion, so I don't care about it. I am here today, in addition to proposing marriage to the Li family, I also want to remind you of another matter."

"What about the Blackwater Army?"

Li Ziye put down the teacup in his hand and asked.

Faru froze for a moment, and said, "You know what I'm going to say?"

"That's all."

Li Ziye responded casually, "Don't worry, I know this matter well, and I won't act impulsively."

"Little guy, don't give me a sloppy eye. I know your temper, and you never want to suffer the slightest loss, but you must bear with this matter."

Faru said sternly, "King Jiuyou is not easy to mess with. This person is not comparable to King Xuanwu who ranks last among the ten martial kings. More importantly, this person did not participate in the faction disputes between the four princes. Your Majesty, the method you used to deal with King Xuanwu is of no use to him. King Jiuyou only needs to find any reason to evade the matter of the Blackwater Army setting up an ambush. With His Majesty's trust in him, he will definitely not pursue too much .”

Li Ziye listened to Faru's words without interrupting, picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth, enjoying himself.

"Boy, did you hear that!"

Seeing that the guy in front of him didn't seem to hear him, Faru couldn't help being a little angry and shouted.

"I've been listening."

Li Ziye smiled and said, "Don't worry, Father Faru, I won't take the whole Li family to risk, besides, I have no grievances with that Jiuyou King, there must be some misunderstanding between this, I am not a fool, I will not offend a Martial King at will."

Faru nodded and said, "You just need to understand the importance of it. People don't fight with officials. Although the Li family has some roots, it is still too weak compared to the behemoth of the imperial court."

"Know it."

Li Ziye smiled, looked at the Confucian disciples who were shivering outside, and reminded, "Father Faru, Chang Yu and the others are almost freezing to death, let them come in to warm up."

Faru heard the words, subconsciously looked at the disciples outside, immediately nodded and said, "Cultivator, you all come in."

Royal Palace.

Fengtian Temple.

After the incident of King Xuanwu.

An admonishing minister came out, first saluted respectfully, then took out a memorial, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I have a book to play."

"Oh?"

On the dragon chair, Emperor Shang looked at the admonisher who came out below, frowned subconsciously, and asked, "Zhang Qing, what do you want to do?"

"I want to participate in the crime of King Jiuyou's unauthorized deployment of troops!" The admonishing minister Zhang Qizheng said respectfully.

As soon as the words fell, the court was in an uproar, and all the officials looked at each other, but there was nothing they could do.

These guys are really a headache.

In the Great Shang Dynasty, admonishers were honored by admonishing death, not to mention princes and nobles, even if His Majesty made a mistake, these admonishers would dare to read a book.

Admonisher, the greatest pursuit in life is to leave a name in history, be fearless, even His Majesty must tolerate everything.

It can be said that in the Great Shang Dynasty, although the admonishers had no real power, few people dared to provoke them.

In front of the courtiers, King Jiuyou, who was dressed in a stone-blue python robe, did not change his indifferent face when he heard someone stalking him.

Beside Shang Huang, the servant walked down the hall, took the memorial from Zhang Qizheng's hand, and walked back quickly.

In the main hall, Emperor Shang took the memorial, briefly glanced at the memorial, put it together immediately, looked down at King Jiuyou, and said, "King Jiuyou, how do you explain it?"

"Suppress bandits!"

King Jiuyou walked out and said calmly, "At that time, the New Year's Eve was approaching, the morning court had stopped, and there were bandits and bandits in the vicinity of Yuzhou City. If you wait until the court opens to ask for an order to dispatch troops, it must be too late. Therefore, the minister can only First mobilize troops to suppress the bandits."

Speaking of this, King Jiuyou took out a memorial from his sleeve, and said calmly, "This is the result of the suppression of bandits, please have a look at it, Your Majesty."
