The three cabinet ministers did not step out to speak, so the other officials naturally did not step out to cause trouble. The hanging of Xiao Ming's head outside the court was a lesson for them.
"The person on the left must be one of the cabinet chiefs, Lord Yang Hong, right?”
Xu Feng's gaze landed on Yang Hong on his left as he asked.
"That's right, it's me!"
Yang Hong crossed his arms, looking very arrogant. He didn't give Xu Feng any face at all, and his voice was lazy.
"I believe the person on the right is one of the chief assistants of the cabinet, Lord Lin Yirong, right?”
Xu Feng didn't seem to care about Yang Hong's disrespect. Instead, he turned his gaze to Lin Yirong.
Lin Yirong bowed slightly and said,"Reporting to Northern Lord, this old minister was not feeling well this morning and was unable to attend the court in time.”
"Oh…If Lord Lin is unwell, I can report to His Majesty and allow Lord Lin to retire and return to his hometown to enjoy his old age…"
The moment Xu Feng said this, the entire court was in an uproar.
Some people couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Everyone could tell that Lin Yirong wanted to get closer to Xu Feng, but who knew that Xu Feng wouldn't buy it at all? He was shooting himself in the foot.
"Thank you for your concern, Lord Zhenbei. Although I am old and weak, I am willing to die for the prosperity of the Great Tang!”Lin Yirong said righteously.
"Lord Lin, don't mess with the ancient labels. The words 'dedicated until death' were the labels of the marquis of the previous dynasty. Now that Lord Lin is using it on me, if someone with ill intentions uses it against Lord Lin and says that Lord Lin used the remnants of the previous dynasty as an example, that would be very bad…"
Xu Feng's words shocked many officials.
Everyone thought that Xu Feng, the Northern Battlefront King, was just a martial artist. When he came to the court, he would definitely be in trouble and make a fool of himself.
Who knew that with just a few words, the cunning Lin Yirong was completely suppressed under his feet. However, what he said made sense. No matter how Lin Yirong refuted it, it would only make things worse.
"Hahaha…Lord Lin, please calm down. You are one of the three great cabinet ministers. Who would dare to interfere with you? I was just joking…Don't mind me, don't mind me…"
Seeing that Lin Yirong was a little uneasy, Xu Feng instantly spoke up. His expression was filled with a bright smile. He was teasing Lin Yirong.
Lin Yirong was secretly furious, but he did not explode.
Now that he had provoked Xu Feng, if the other party suddenly attacked and killed him, wouldn't he be courting death?
Xiao Ming's head was still hanging outside the imperial court.
Seeing that Xu Feng and Lin Yirong were chatting so much, Yang Hong suddenly felt uneasy. If Xu Feng and Yang Hong reached an agreement and targeted him, Yang Hong would definitely be in a passive position.
He secretly regretted it. If he had known that Xu Feng would be the first to greet him, he would not have been so arrogant. It would have been better to have a good conversation. Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in this world.
Just like that, Xu Feng slowly got to know each of the officials.
It only ended at noon.
"If there's nothing else…"
Xiao Ming's death had successfully shocked many of the officials. The effect of today's morning court session had been achieved, and it was about time to leave.
Xiao Hong walked to the center of the court with a letter in his hand. He said indignantly,"All of you are afraid of Northern Fortress Lord's brutality, but I'm not!”
"I would like to invite the three cabinet ministers to jointly invite Her Majesty to come out and eliminate the evil and bring peace to the Tang Dynasty!”
It was the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Xiao Hong.
Hiss hiss…
Many officials in the court gasped.
Xu Feng had just killed Xiao Ming.
However, everyone soon understood why Xiao Ming had stood up.
Xiao Ming was a member of the Xiao family.
Xu Feng had killed Xiao Ming just like that, so the Xiao Family naturally couldn't just sit back and do nothing. They would definitely retaliate.
"Hahaha…since the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel Personnel Affairs wants to impeach me, I wonder how cruel I will be?”
Many people thought that Xu Feng would fly into a rage. Who knew that Xu Feng would laugh out loud and take the lead to ask Xiao Hong.
"I want to impeach the Northguard Lord for being cruel and inhumane and killing officials of the imperial court.”
"Yesterday, Northern Warden killed Seal Eunuch Sikong Hua and eighteen of the East Chamber's members.”
"Today, you killed the commander of the imperial guards, Xiao Ming.”
"Such a bloodthirsty person who indiscriminately kills the innocent is not worthy of governing the country.”
"I implore the three cabinet ministers to uphold justice and return the power of the country to His Majesty in a timely manner.”
Xiao Hong spoke righteously, as if Xu Feng had killed innocent people.
Whether it was Yang Hong, Lin Yirong, or Zhao Zheng, they all wished that they could tear Xiao Hong into pieces at this moment. How was he asking them to come out and uphold justice? He was clearly using the three of them to punish Xu Feng.
" I didn't think that there would be such a righteous person like the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel in the court. What a good official, a good official…"
Xu Feng was not angry. Instead, he smiled.
Everyone was completely dumbfounded. What was Xu Feng trying to do?
"Since the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is accusing me of killing innocent people, then please take a good look at whether the eunuch Sikong Hua is innocent or not.”
"A mere eunuch with a seal embezzled a hundred thousand taels of silver and countless gold, silver, and jewelry. Accepting bribes from officials from all over the world and acting tyrannically.”
"These are all the evidence I've gathered!”
As Xu Feng spoke, a eunuch instantly brought Sikong Hua's account book and other evidence to Xiao Hong.
Xiao Hong also didn't expect that Xu Feng was already prepared.
Fear also appeared in the depths of Yang Hong's eyes.
From the beginning, he felt that Xu Feng was a boorish man and was not worth worrying about.
In a short time, he seemed to have changed his mind.
"Humph! Even if Sikong Hua was corrupt, bribed, and tyrannical, he deserved to be executed! He should be handed over to the Ministry of Justice to deal with, and not be abused by Northern Lord.”
"Moreover, Northern Warden killed the commander of the imperial guards without a word. How can you explain it?”
"If Northern Lord killed a third rank official just like that, wouldn't everyone in the court feel insecure? Who would dare to speak up for justice and offend Northern Lord?”
Xiao Hong had clearly come prepared, and in an instant, he had brought this matter to the attention of the entire Imperial Court.
Many people nodded secretly when they heard this.
Now that Xu Feng could kill Xiao Ming without any reason, it was hard to guarantee that he would not kill them in the future.
"The commander of the imperial guards, Xiao Ming, disrespected the imperial edict and blasphemed His Majesty. Disobeying my decree is equivalent to looking down on His Majesty, equivalent to rebelling, so naturally, he should be killed!”
Xu Feng had already thought of putting a label on Xiao Ming.
And Xiao Ming had indeed done so.
"Northern Lord is in charge of state affairs, so he should abide by the laws of the country.”
Xiao Hong immediately asked.
"Men!"
However, Xu Feng smiled coldly and said,""Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Xiao Hong, dares to speak on behalf of a corrupt official. The words of a rebel are equivalent to treason. Immediately execute it!"
"Ah!"
The officials were completely shocked and tongue-tied.
Xiao Hong's face was filled with shock. Xu Feng was completely not playing by the rules.
"Understood!"
He Lei became the commander of the imperial guards and was extremely excited. He was very grateful for Xu Feng's kindness. He immediately ordered two imperial guards to grab Xiao Hong with their staffs and beat him up.
"This is the consequence of speaking on behalf of the rebels!”
"Ahhhhh…"
"Xu Feng…you will die a horrible death…"
"You Berserk Lord…"
Xiao Hong was hit hard by the court staff. His flesh and blood flew everywhere, and fresh blood flowed out. However, he was cursing furiously.
"Ding! Xiao Hong cursed at the Host Tyrant. Obtained 2000 points."
"Ding! Xiao Hong cursed at the host for being cruel. Obtained 300 points."
"Ding! Xiao Hong scolded the host for being inhumane. Obtained 222 points."
Xu Feng didn't care about Xiao Hong's scolding at all. He was even happier when he heard the system points increase again.
And, as Xiao Hong's voice became softer and softer, the points he obtained also became lesser and lesser.
Until Xiao Hong was beaten into a bloody mess by the court staff, leaving only the smell of blood and a pile of flesh and blood in the middle of the court. He couldn't be more dead.
Xu Feng then ordered the Imperial Guards to stop.
Many of the officials were silent out of fear, and some of them were even trembling.
It was too cruel.
