In the court.
Fu Ling's words were cold and every word was full of pearls.
"Now that the Hu have lost their advantage, it's the perfect time to wipe them out.”
"Do you know what kind of hellish scene our northern territory once was?”
"Have you seen how the Hu treat the people of our dynasty and humiliate the women of our dynasty?”
"Humph!"
"The Hu deserve to be exterminated.”
"The people of the world have been waiting for this day for far too long. The people of the Northern Territory have finally gotten their revenge. They are crying tears of joy as they praise the achievements of the Northguard Marquis.”
"But all of you."
"You are in the royal court, and you live a luxurious life. You don't think about helping the Marquis of Zhenbei, but you think about how to preserve the bloodline of the Hu.”
"Did you accept benefits from the Hu?”
The moment Fu Ling said this, the expressions of the civil and military officials kneeling in the hall changed.
Even though he had been standing there with his hands behind his back without changing his expression.
Even Feng Qingheng, who seemed to have nothing to do with today's matter, couldn't help but twitch his eyes.
"Lord Grand Commandant, please don't frame us.”
The Minister of War Zhang Yi's expression was ugly. He said angrily to Fu Ling,"Our attitude toward the Hu is naturally to get rid of them.”
"How is that possible? He would accept benefits from the Hu.”
"Even if you are the Grand Commandant, you cannot slander others.”
Zhang Yi's reaction caused the empress to narrow her eyes slightly. This reaction didn't seem like nothing had happened.
The empress, who had some doubts in her heart, looked at the prime minister and the reactions of many ministers.
Discovered.
Many of the officials 'expressions turned ugly at this moment.
His eyes were filled with shock.
"How dare you."
After seeing the reactions of the civil and military officials, the empress's anger rose from the bottom of her heart.
The cold aura once again spread throughout the imperial court.
"Humph!"
"Zhen was just worrying about not having an excuse to attack this old thief. I didn't expect that this old thing would actually jump out today.”
The empress took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the anger in her heart. She secretly made a hand gesture.
Immediately after.
One figure after another surrounded the entire court without anyone noticing.
Even the generals in the court and the civil officials with extraordinary cultivation did not notice anything.
What was even more terrifying was that these figures.
There was not a single person whose cultivation was below Rank-1. There were only a handful of Rank-1.
The rest were all above grandmasters.
"If the Minister of War didn't receive any benefits from the Hu, why are you so agitated?”
"And why?"
"What are you panicking about after I said that?”
Fu Ling looked at Zhang Yi and the others with a cold gaze. He had no intention of changing the topic.
Step by step.
"Your Majesty."
"This subject impeaches the current Grand Commandant and falsely accuses us of our innocence.”
"Your Majesty, you have to make decisions for us.”
Under Fu Ling's pressure, the few censors immediately stood up and admonished the empress angrily.
At the same time, his gaze towards Fu Ling was also filled with a trace of coldness.
"Prime Minister."
"What do you think about this matter?"
The empress looked at the few censors and did not respond. Instead, her gaze fell on the Prime Minister.
Feng Qingheng, who was called out, was slightly stunned.
He didn't expect the empress to look for him at this time.
"Your Majesty."
Feng Qingheng was stunned for a moment before he recovered and walked out slowly.
"I believe that you will not accept any benefits from the Hu."”
"On the contrary, it's the Grand Commandant who framed others without any basis and is still pressing on like this. I'm afraid that the Grand Commandant has really taken advantage of the Hu, right?”
The empress sneered at the Prime Minister's reply.
Immediately after.
With a teasing tone, he said calmly,"Then Prime Minister, did you receive any benefits from anyone?”
"Hmm?"
Feng Qingheng suddenly raised his head and his eyes narrowed.
Just like that, he met the empress's gaze.
"Could it be…"
"The empress knows?"
Looking at the empress's half-smile, Feng Qingheng suddenly felt a little uncertain.
"Your Majesty must be joking."
"Ever since I became an official, I have always been honest and loyal to the Imperial Court. I have never done such a dirty thing.”
Feng Qingheng didn't reveal any flaws and instead chuckled.
He replied to the empress casually.
"Interesting."
When the empress heard this, she looked at Feng Qingheng with an uncontrollable killing intent.
"Then why have I heard about it these past few days?”
"After I ascended the throne, my beloved minister has been trying to rope in the officials of the court. Under coercion and temptation, he made them work for him. He even went to rope in the commander of the royal guards several times.”
Feng Qingheng could no longer maintain his composure and his expression changed drastically.
He looked at the empress in disbelief.
He knew that these things couldn't be hidden from the empress, and he didn't want to hide it from her.
However, what he did not expect was that the empress would not dare to expose this matter.
This was…
Were they prepared to fall out with him?
"Interesting."
"Empress, oh Empress, since you're ready to shed all pretense of cordiality, then let's do it.”
Although he wasn't fully prepared, Feng Qingheng was confident.
With the power in his hands, he had completely turned the empress into a puppet imperial city.
In the court.
After the empress said this, the expressions of all the officials changed.
Some were in disbelief, while others sneered at the Prime Minister.
There were officials who were trembling in fear, and there were also people with ruthless and cold gazes.
"Prime Minister."
"Don't you want to give me an explanation?”
The empress looked at the changes in the court and slowly stood up. A cold smile hung on her lips and her tone was extremely cold.
"This subject has never done these things. Although this subject does not know who spread the rumors, this subject hopes that Your Majesty can investigate this matter and return this subject's innocence.”
Feng Qingheng looked straight at the empress and stood with his hands behind his back. His tone was extremely calm.
"Ziyan."
Seeing Feng Qingheng's attitude, the Water Empress's eyes flashed coldly. She nodded at Lin Ziyan, who had been standing beside her with a sword in her hand.
"Here."
Lin Ziyan slowly took a step forward at the empress's signal.
"Thirty-seven days ago, the Prime Minister paid a visit to the Minister of Rites and expressed his ambitions to him. He also promised the Minister of Rites that he would treat him well and take him in as his own."”
"The details are as follows."
"Thirty-six days ago, the Prime Minister went to visit the Minister of Revenue and used the same method to recruit the Minister of Revenue. The Minister of Revenue was unwilling, so the Prime Minister used his son as a hostage to force the Minister of Revenue to work for him.”
"Thirty-four days ago, the Prime Minister went."
