Hiss hiss…
The court was deathly silent.
Only Xu Feng was happy.
He did not expect that in just a morning court session, the Tyrant points that he had used up had already increased to 100,000 points. Not only could he use them to increase his cultivation, but he could also draw a lottery to his heart's content.
"Looks like I have to think of a way to come to court every day and do more things. Otherwise, Tyrant points won't be able to increase quickly.”
If Xu Feng's thoughts were to be known by the officials in the Imperial Court, would they vomit blood?
How many of these high-ranking officials and nobles had seen such a brutal and bloody scene?
……
"I thought this Northern Fortress Lord was just a boorish soldier, but now it seems that I've underestimated his abilities!”When Yang Hong saw Xu Feng kill Xiao Hong with lightning speed, he was both shocked and fearful.
He originally thought that Xu Feng was just a reckless man. From the looks of it now, whether it was Xu Feng killing Sikong Hua, Xiao Ming, or Xiao Hong, he had already made preparations.
Everyone could see that undercurrents were surging in the court.
If Xu Feng came to the court and was really submissive, his hands and feet would be tied. Forget about governing the country, it was another matter whether he could live for three months.
Now that Xu Feng had come, whether it was a cabinet aristocratic family like him or other forces, they had to be wary of Xu Feng.
Even though Xu Feng was only in charge of state affairs on behalf of the Emperor, in such a short period of time, Xu Feng had used swift and decisive methods to control the Imperial Guards. Such methods were not ordinary.
……
Initially, Zhao Zheng didn't have any hope for Xu Feng to take charge of the country. He felt that Xu Feng was just a chess piece that the empress had pulled out to balance the imperial court.
Now, he saw Xu Feng's thunderous and swift actions. He seemed cruel and heartless, but in fact, he was intimidating the officials in the court and consolidating his position as the leader of the country.
Although the method was brutal and cruel, even he had to admit that this was definitely the most perfect method.
In troubled times, heavy punishment was used!
With the undercurrents surging in the court, it was only natural that heavier punishments should be used.
Only then could it intimidate people.
For some reason, the flame of ambition in Zhao Zheng's heart that had been gradually extinguished seemed to have been ignited by Xu Feng.
……
"Everyone, I wonder if there's anything else. If there's nothing else, you can withdraw from the court!”
Xu Feng had obtained so many Tyrant points that he could not hold it in any longer. He wanted to hurry back to the mansion and draw the lottery to see if any treasures would appear.
He had never been so rich when he saw more than 100,000 Tyrant points.
"Northguard Lord, I have a report!”
Zhao Zheng walked to the center of the court and bowed to Xu Feng.
Zhao Zheng was one of the Three Great Ministers of the Great Tang.
Many officials frowned slightly. They knew that Zhao Zheng was an upright person, but they didn't know what Zhao Zheng had to report.
"Lord Zhao, please!"
Xu Feng had heard of Zhao Zheng when he was in the Beihuang Region.
Zhao Zheng was in the cabinet, but he did not have any family background. He was a true student from a poor family. Step by step, he walked to one of the cabinet halls.
"I wish to consult the East Chamber's Factory Governor Sikong Xuan.”
As Sikong Xuan's name rang out, the entire imperial court fell silent. Many people's hair stood on end, and the only thing left in their hearts was fear.
They even started to worry for Zhao Zheng. Sikong Xuan was the East Military Council's supervisor, and he had immense power. He was in charge of 5,000 factory lords, and all of them were warriors.
There were nearly a hundred Inborn experts under him. Sikong Xuan was extremely powerful, and he was backed by the Sikong Clan, one of the four great clans of the Great Tang.
Most importantly, Sikong Xuan was rumored to be a Grandmaster!
"Oh! What does Lord Zhao want to talk about Sikong Xuan about?”
Xu Feng was curious.
This Zhao Zheng was really bold, daring to provoke Sikong Xuan.
Apart from having a bad reputation, the East Military Governor was the one who held real power in the capital and controlled the military.
Moreover, because the last Emperor of the Great Tang favored eunuchs, the East Chamber had great power.
"Sikong Xuan is the supervisor of the East Chamber, a second-rank official. Today, he didn't come to the morning court, which was completely against Northern Fortress Lord's will. It was tantamount to rebellion!”
"At the same time, Sikong Xuan took control of the East Chamber and killed the innocent. He used the law to punish the innocent, killed the officials of the imperial court, harmed the loyal and loyal officials, took money and land, took bribes, and perverted the law.”
Zhao Zheng's face was filled with anger as his voice reverberated.
"Oh…Lord Zhao, do you have any evidence? You have to know that slandering an official of the imperial court is a great crime that requires execution!”
Xu Feng's eyebrows twitched as he looked at Zhao Zheng.
He secretly rejoiced in his heart and thought,'Looks like my next goal is to exterminate Sikong Xuan, wipe out his entire family, and kill his entire clan. At that time, I will definitely obtain countless Tyrant Points.”
"Reporting to Lord Zhenbei, the evidence is conclusive. However, I came in a hurry today and did not bring it with me!”
Zhao Zheng saw that Xu Feng was actually very interested, but he didn't show any satisfaction. He was also very excited. He couldn't stand Sikong Xuan's actions anymore.
Not long ago, he had approached the Emperor several times, but Lin Xiaoxiang had always tried to avoid him. It was obvious that she did not want to punish Sikong Xuan, so Zhao Zheng had given up.
"Good! Please bring the evidence to the morning court tomorrow. If the evidence is conclusive, we will hand it over to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Justice to deal with it together!”
Hearing Xu Feng's words, both the Minister of Personnel and the Minister of Justice trembled slightly and secretly swallowed their saliva.
He cursed Zhao Zheng for being a busybody.
Sikong Xuan's family background was powerful, and he had the East Military Hall under his control. Moreover, he was also very powerful. If they tried Sikong Xuan's case, wouldn't they be shooting themselves in the foot? They wouldn't even know how they died.
"Yes!"
Zhao Zheng immediately bowed and returned to his previous position.
"Milords, if there's nothing else, you may withdraw from the court!”
Xu Feng stood up.
"Farewell, Lord Zhenbei!"
The ministers did not dare to delay and wanted to leave the court as soon as possible.
Today's morning court session felt like a year.
"Sigh…"
Xu Feng was about to reach the side hall.
Many officials heaved a sigh of relief.
Who knew that Xu Feng would turn around and make a sound.
"Ah!"
Some of the officials were shocked and screamed.
"Hehe! Everyone, remember to come to the morning court tomorrow!"
Xu Feng grinned and turned to walk into the side hall.
Everyone almost vomited blood.
He thought to himself, You're so cruel, who would dare not come to the morning assembly?”
