Murong Hao's face darkened when he thought of the magistrates of those two cities.

"When Tianyi presents their charges, either the three tribes or the nine tribes will be punished. The crimes of those two are heinous. This time I will use the crimes of those two to scare the monkeys and let other officials know the consequences of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country."

Lin Yunxi didn't say anything, but just nodded. Those two people killed hundreds of people, and they might not be able to convince the public without being severely punished.

Lin Yunxi thought of the officials kneeling outside, and she looked at Murong Hao.

"Husband, will the officials outside not care this time?"

"It must be taken care of. Zhao De comes in." Murong Hao announced to Zhao De outside the door.

"What are your orders, Your Majesty?" Zhao De saluted respectfully.

"Go and read this imperial edict to the ministers outside." Murong Hao copied a copy of the imperial edict just written to Tianyi and handed it to Zhao De.

"Yes." Zhao De took the imperial edict and stepped back.

Soon, Zhao De finished reading the imperial edict outside the door, and the minister outside shouted.

"Your Majesty, you can't. Closing the border with Nanling will only deepen the conflict between the two countries."

"Your Majesty, our Dongsheng Kingdom and Nanling Kingdom don't have any deep hatred. This is not good for the diplomatic relations between the two countries."

The officials outside expressed their opinions one by one. Murong Hao was too lazy to pay attention to the shouts outside and lowered his head to review the memorial.

Seeing Murong Hao's tough attitude, Lin Yunxi asked.

"Husband, why don't you explain to them the major case in the south."

"If they want to kneel down, let them kneel down for one night. Tomorrow, when the big case in the south spreads throughout the capital, they will naturally leave. Their normal life is too easy, so it's not bad to let them suffer."

Lin Yunxi has a dark background. When these ministers meet such a king, they don't know whether to call them unlucky or pitiful. How can they defeat Murong Hao with their rank?

Sure enough, before the morning court on the second day, word of the major southern case spread throughout the capital. Those officials who had knelt all night dragged their exhausted bodies to the morning court, with their heads lowered. No one dared to mention the matter of closing the border, nor did they I came back and knelt down to Murong Hao in the study.

Five days later, an urgent letter eight hundred miles away reached Murong Hao.

The content of the letter mentioned that Miao Chutian, the crown prince of Nanling Kingdom, requested to come to Beijing to meet Emperor Dongsheng.

Murong Hao naturally agreed and used the General Affairs Department to send the letter of consent to the border again.

Ten days later, Miao Chutian entered the capital with a group of envoys from the Nanling Kingdom and dozens of boxes of goods.

In the Council Hall, Murong Hao and the ministers discussed state affairs. Miao Chutian, dressed in the attire of a Nanling prince, was waiting outside the Council Hall. He came this time to rescue the two princes of their Nanling Kingdom and seek a prescription for the plague. There is a request to open customs clearance ports.

Miao Chutian has not been to the capital for several years. Now the emperor of Dongsheng Kingdom has changed hands. He asked people to check his knowledge of Murong Hao. Murong Hao was diligent in government and loved the people. He started a lot of construction projects soon after he ascended the throne. In Dongsheng Kingdom, Many new roads were built, a pension and retirement system was promulgated, and the Dongsheng Kingdom's scientific examination system was changed from three years to one year. These were all major measures that benefited the country and the people. His young emperor was so big. Carrying out reforms is even better than the previous Emperor Dongsheng.

He also knew that Murong Hao had no special hobbies. If he had any special hobbies, it would be that he doted on his queen. For the sake of his queen, he would not accept a harem. It seemed that he had true feelings for his queen. , his entry point this time should be his queen.

Miao Chutian, the current empress of Dongsheng Kingdom, was naturally deeply impressed. She was the head of Kangping County who was very successful in Tianqing Palace back then. He wanted to marry her back then, but she turned out to be in love without even looking at him. Until now Several years have passed, but the various wonderful talents performed by Kangping County Lord in Tianqing Palace that day are still in Miao Chutian's mind.

Although he married the daughter of the Prime Minister of Nanling as the crown princess after he returned that time, he still often thought of the appearance of Kangping County Princess. What an impressive woman she was, her stunning beauty was touching. Such talents have been practiced to such perfection that there may be only one Lin Yunxi in the world, and no one can match her beauty and talent.

Miao Chutian had been thinking about Lin Yunxi in Tianqing Palace a few years ago, but his thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a sharp sound.

"The Crown Prince of Nanling Kingdom, Miao Chutian, entered the palace with his envoys."

Miao Chutian held on to his golden crown and slowly entered the political hall with a dozen envoys from the Nanling Kingdom.

Seeing that the luxurious and majestic political hall of Dongsheng Kingdom was at least three times larger than that of Nanling Kingdom, but there were fewer political officials than their Nanling counterparts, Miao Chutian thought that there was a reason why Dongsheng Kingdom was so powerful. He wanted to come here this time. He should study hard and learn from the excellent governance of Dongsheng Kingdom. Maybe he can learn from it after he ascends the throne in the future.

"The Crown Prince of Nanling, Miao Chutian, and the Nanling envoys have met with the Emperor." Miao Chutian and his envoys saluted Murong Hao, who was in the first place.

"No courtesy." Murong Hao responded.

"Your Majesty, after I, the Emperor of Nanling, learned about the crimes committed by my two Nanling princes in Dongsheng Kingdom, I immediately sent my king to apologize to the emperor." Miao Chutian went straight to the point.

"Oh? How do you want to apologize?" Murong Hao became interested and looked at Miao Chutian in the center of the hall with a pair of sharp eyes.

"Our Nanling Emperor asked me to bring gold and silver, precious medicinal materials and a large amount of ivory to your country as an apology gift. I hope your country can return the two princes back to the country." Miao Chutian said the Nanling Emperor's proposal, And they really brought these gifts.

"What if I only want the lives of the two of them?" Murong Hao said seriously.

"This..." Miao Chutian didn't expect that Murong Hao would kill the two princes. He didn't know what to do. His father asked him to bring the two princes back to the country no matter what.

Murong Hao saw him speechless and looked at Zhao De aside.

"Zhao De, please show the confessions of the two princes of Nanling to the prince of Nanling." Murong Hao stood aside Zhao De.

"Yes." Zhao De accepted the order and handed the confession he had prepared earlier to Miao Chutian.

Miao Chutian took the confession and read it carefully.

He knew that the two princes had committed the crime of stealing mines and killing civilians, but he did not expect that they had also done many evil things that he did not know about, such as bribing officials of Dongsheng Kingdom, raping women from good families, etc. Listing all the crimes, Miao Chutian It made my scalp numb. These crimes were capital crimes in Nanling Kingdom, let alone Dongsheng Kingdom, a country with strict legislation.

"I'm sorry that they have committed so many crimes. Your Majesty, for the sake of them being our Nanling royal family, let them go. From now on, they will not be allowed to enter the territory of Dongsheng Kingdom. They are in Dongsheng Kingdom." All the property acquired by Sheng Kingdom will be handed over to Dong Sheng Kingdom, we are willing to increase the apology gift, and the emperor can suggest what is needed in exchange for their lives."

Miao Chutian kept his father's instructions in mind. The two princes were his uncle's sons and his cousins. No matter what, he would return them to the country safely this time.

Murong Hao looked down at Miao Chutian with a cold face and sneered...
