"Zhao 'er?"
Sima Yi was stunned, Wang Mang was dumbfounded, and An Lushan and Qin Hui's expressions changed.
Sima Zhao, who was tied up, was brought in front of everyone like a little chick. He did not look disheveled at all. Even the outer armor on his body had been taken off.
"Father, save me, save me!"
Sima Zhao looked at Sima Yi as if he had seen his savior. He was afraid that Gu Fengming would kill him without caring about anything. If that really happened, he would not even have a place to cry out for justice. It was Yu Qinghe's appearance that had saved his life. Now that he saw his father, he had an idea.
"Your Highness, what's going on?”
Seeing his son in such a state, Sima Yi's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He turned around and did not even turn his head to look at Gu Fengming.
This scene was an eye-opener for Gu Fengming. Whether it was in history or in the Great Phoenix Dynasty, there were rumors that Sima Yi had the appearance of a wolf. Gu Fengming was very curious. If this appearance of a wolf appeared on a human, would he still be human?
But now that he had seen it with his own eyes, Gu Fengming could not help but sigh. This Sima Yi really knew how to take care of others!
"Beloved minister, are you questioning this king?”
Gu Fengming faced the fierce Sima Yi, but he did not show the timidity that a nine-year-old child should have. Instead, he looked at Sima Yi with a smile.
Sima Yi was stunned, and then he realized that the person in front of him was the regent that Gu Longming had personally appointed. Before Gu Changge came of age, Gu Fengming was the nominal head of the country, and he actually spoke to him like this.
"This old minister does not dare. This old minister only wants to know what crime my son has committed.”
"What crime?"
"Didn't this king say it just now?"
Gu Fengming smiled and looked at them.
"Um…"
"Your Highness!"
"Could it be that the one who led the troops to attack Tai Feng Palace that you mentioned just now was Sima Zhao?”
Qin Hui understood and looked at Gu Fengming.
Wang Mang and An Lushan were also stunned. They looked at Gu Fengming strangely as if they were saying," Child, are you playing with us?”
"Yes, I am!"
Gu Fengming nodded.
"Nonsense!"
As expected, Sima Yi was the first to give up after receiving Gu Fengming's confirmation.
He looked at Gu Fengming as if he was looking at a fool.
"Your Highness, Zhao 'er is a lieutenant personally appointed by the late emperor to manage the imperial guards. The palace was where he was on duty. What crime was there for him to bring troops to the palace? How could he barge into the palace?”
Sima Yi looked at Gu Fengming and felt that this kid was looking for trouble. He was furious and thought to himself that a nine-year-old child would not be able to achieve anything big. He still had the temper of a child. He dared to arrest someone before he even understood the situation.
Although the other three did not say anything, their expressions were similar to Sima Yi's. They all felt that Gu Fengming was joking.
The few of them controlled the power of the court and kept each other in check while Sima Yi controlled the Imperial Army. The security of the Imperial Palace was under the jurisdiction of the Sima Clan. To say that Sima Zhao had barged into Supreme Phoenix Palace was indeed a little speechless.
"You mean that this king has wronged him?”
"No, it's just that Your Highness might have made a mistake.”
Sima Yi said coldly. His tone was no longer polite.
"Mistaken?"
"In the afternoon, this king personally appointed a lieutenant general of the palace guards and ordered him to lead people to guard Tai Feng Palace. He ordered that anyone who enters and leaves Tai Feng Palace must receive instructions. Sima Zhao knowingly violated the law.”
"Moreover, he has already personally admitted to the Empress that he led his troops into the Tai Feng Palace. Could it be that this is also wrong?”
Gu Fengming sneered as he pointed at Sima Zhao and looked at Sima Yi.
"What?"
"Your Highness, when did you send someone to take over Tai Feng Palace?”
"How could I not know!"
This time, Sima Yi was even more shocked. He had never thought that Gu Fengming would do such a thing. He looked at the other party in shock and asked.
"Hmph, as the regent, do I not even have this bit of power? Do I need to report to you, Great General, what I do?”
Gu Fengming didn't think much of it and looked askance at Sima Yi.
"This…"
"I don't dare!"
Sima Yi was stumped. Indeed, as the Regent King, Gu Fengming did not need to seek his opinion.
However, Sima Yi's face darkened even more. Gu Fengming's actions were no different from planting his own people in the Imperial Army and taking advantage of his own interests. This made Sima Yi extremely angry.
The faces of Wang Mang and the others changed as well. They looked at Gu Fengming and wondered if he had done it on purpose or not. This kid was only nine years old. Could he be even more ferocious than his brother, Gu Longming? He dared to seize power from them?
"Alright, now's not the time to talk about this, Mr. Qin.”
Gu Fengming looked at Qin Hui.
"Your subject is here!"
"You are an imperial censor. Tell this king, what crime is it to trespass into Tai Feng Palace?”
"Ah…this…"
Qin Hui was speechless. He looked at Sima Yi and did not dare to say it directly. This was a huge crime.
Sima Yi's face was dark as he stared at Gu Fengming. There was fire in his eyes, but he could not let it out. If what Gu Fengming said was true, then his son had indeed committed a serious crime.
"Your Highness, according to the laws of the country, anyone who trespasses into the forbidden palace will be punished for treason. Sima Zhao led his troops to trespass into the palace, and his crime will be increased.”
Qin Hui was a two-faced person. Although he held the position of Imperial Censor and was in charge of impeachment and picket work, he was at odds with the snake and mouse. Clearly, he did not want to offend Sima Yi, so he was unwilling to speak.
However, just because they did not offend Qin Hui did not mean that the others were afraid of Sima Yi. An Lushan was the first to jump out and look at Sima Yi with a mocking expression.
An Lushan was the Grand Commandant who was in charge of the army and was also Sima Yi's superior. However, Sima Yi had been fighting with him openly and secretly. The two of them had been fighting for military power. An Lushan had always wanted the management rights of the Imperial Army, but Sima Yi had a firm grasp on it. Now that there was a rare opportunity, how could An Lushan let Sima Yi go?
"That's right, Grand Commandant is right. According to the law, leading troops to break into the palace is considered treason, and the three clans should be executed.”
Wang Mang's eyes lit up as he immediately agreed.
He was the Prime Minister, but he did not have any military authority. This made Wang Mang feel uneasy in his dormitory. He had always wanted to interfere with military authority, but he had no chance. If he could use this to take down Sima Yi, he would be more than happy to help Gu Fengming.
The moment Wang Mang and An Lushan spoke, Sima Yi's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. He glared at Wang Mang and An Lushan, wishing he could bite them to death.
