"Cao Zhengchun!"
In Taiji Palace, Gu Fengming looked at Cao Zhengchun.
"This servant is here."
"Have the imperial kitchen prepare dinner for the ministers.”
"Yes, sir!"
Gu Fengming looked at the officials. He did not plan to let these people go back so quickly today. To cut the Gordian knot, Gu Fengming planned to settle He Shen's matter today.
When the ministers heard this, they all looked at each other, but they did not dare to speak. Then, they all looked at Wang Mang, Sima Yi, An Lushan, and the others. Since they didn't speak, they naturally didn't dare to act rashly.
Wang Mang did not look too good. Sima Yi and An Lushan were much calmer than Wang Mang. They would occasionally glance at Wang Mang with a rather playful expression.
"Your Highness, Commander Shen Lian of the Jinyiwei, Lord Shen, has returned.”
At this moment, a person ran in from outside the hall and reported. When they heard that Shen Lian had returned, everyone in the court was excited. It was obvious that everyone was waiting for Shen Lian.
"Xuan."
Gu Fengming's eyes lit up and he immediately summoned Shen Lian.
At this moment, Wang Mang's expression was extremely grave. He wasn't sure if He Shen had left any evidence behind, and if this evidence implicated him. Wang Mang could finally tell that Gu Fengming was not a nine-year-old child, but a venomous little snake.
Although he couldn't kill anyone, he was still very unhappy to mess things up in this court.
At this moment, Wang Mang was somewhat regretful. He regretted not supporting Lu Zhi that day. It would have been better to let that old woman Lu Zhi take the throne. Gu Fengming was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.
When Shen Lian entered the palace, everyone's gaze was on him. When they saw the big box in Shen Lian's hand, everyone's expression was a little strange. They were curious about what was in the big box.
"I, the commander of the Jinyiwei, Shen Lian, greet the Crown Prince and the King of Qin.”
"No need for formalities, Shen Qing. What is in this box?”
Gu Fengming was also curious. Looking at the big box, he wondered if He Shen had really left behind so many crimes. How much evidence was in such a big box?
"Reporting to Your Highness, this box contains the head of Zhang Ying, the official of the Supreme Court.”
Shen Lian did not hide anything and opened the box. The moment the box was opened, the smell of blood assailed his nose. The people around Shen Lian looked up and their expressions changed.
"This, this, this is really Zhang Ying's head!”
" How did Zhang Ying get killed? This, this, this…"
"Who killed Zhang Ying? Why did they kill Zhang Ying? Zhang Ying was the Deputy Official of the Supreme Court.”
Everyone's eyes revealed an expression of shock and horror. No one had expected that He Shen would be alive and well, but Zhang Ying would actually die first.
"Zhang Ying?"
Wang Mang was shocked and immediately went forward. When he saw that it was really Zhang Ying's head in the box, Wang Mang's face turned pale and he took a few steps back. He looked at Shen Lian in disbelief.
"Shen Lian, you, you, you killed Zhang Ying?”
Wang Mang was furious. Zhang Ying was his most capable subordinate, and he had been assigned to the Court of Judicial Review. Today, he sent Zhang Ying to He Shen's residence, wanting to destroy all evidence of He Shen's crimes before he could, so as to avoid leaving behind any trouble for himself. Who knew that when they met again, Zhang Ying was only left with a head. How could this not shock him?
"Yes, sir!"
Shen Lian did not hide anything and agreed.
"How dare you, Shen Lian, how dare you kill an official of the imperial court.”
Wang Mang was furious. He looked at Shen Lian and said angrily.
When the officials heard this, their expressions changed, including An Lushan and Sima Yi's.
"Shen Lian is too bold to kill a fourth-grade official of the Supreme Court.”
"The Prime Minister has always been overbearing, but he is not as ferocious as Shen Lian. Is Shen Lian crazy?”
"This is bad, this is bad. His Highness the King of Qin wants to expand the power of the Embroidered Uniform Guards. This is clearly going against the officials.”
Everyone's expression was ugly. They felt that Shen Lian was too ruthless.
"Shen Lian, what happened?"
Gu Fengming raised his eyebrows. He did not expect that Shen Lian would suddenly kill Zhang Ying when he was looking for evidence of Heshen's crime. Gu Fengming did not feel anything when he looked at Zhang Ying's head. After all, he was Wang Mang's man, so what if he died?
"Reporting to Your Highness, Zhang Ying led the people of the Supreme Court to disobey your decree. They wanted to barge into Heshen's residence and even had a conflict with our Embroidered Uniform Guards. Zhang Ying even offended his superiors and attacked our Embroidered Uniform Guards 'commander, Lu Jianxing. He stabbed someone in the back and almost killed Lord Lu. Fortunately, I arrived in time and saved Lu Jianxing from death.”
"When this Zhang Ying saw this lowly subject, not only did he not admit his mistake, he actually dared to attack this lowly subject. This lowly subject was helpless and could only execute him on the spot.”
Shen Lian's words were half true and half false. Zhang Ying did indeed do that, but at the last moment, Zhang Ying begged for mercy and wanted to surrender. However, Shen Lian was already filled with killing intent. He did not give his opponent any chance and killed Zhang Ying cleanly.
"I see. Good kill!"
Hearing this, Gu Fengming raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.
The moment he said that, the ministers were once again stunned. They all looked at Gu Fengming.
"Is this still a nine-year-old child? The minister said that he would kill him, and he even said that it was good to kill him?”
"This kid has the potential to be a tyrant. Why is he so easy to kill at such a young age?”
"How is this a sheep? It's clearly a wolf cub.”
Their hearts were pounding with fear. Hearing Gu Fengming say that it was a good kill, everyone could not help but feel a trace of fear towards Gu Fengming.
Gu Fengming was only nine years old, but he was so easy to kill. Moreover, he was much more vicious than his brother, Gu Longming.
"Your Highness…"
Wang Mang was furious. He looked at Gu Fengming. He had first killed He Shen, and now Zhang Ying had been killed. His heart was bleeding, and he glared at Gu Fengming.
"What happened to the Prime Minister?"
Gu Fengming smiled as he looked at Wang Mang.
In an instant, the situation in the court became delicate. Shen Lian looked at Wang Mang. The people outside seemed to have heard the sound of armor. Gu Fengming stared at Wang Mang.
Gu Fengming now had a Divine Obedience Pill in his hand, so he was not afraid of Wang Mang. If he dared to do anything, Gu Fengming would directly feed the pill to Sima Yi and then let him control the Imperial Army. In an instant, he would be able to control the entire capital.
This was also the reason why Gu Fengming suddenly had confidence. He had a trump card.
