Chapter 40 The first morning of the year

"Did Emperor Wu take his sister to court?" Han Xu asked with wide eyes, which was simply unbelievable.

Since ancient times, the harem has not interfered in politics, and even the queen has never appeared in the court. Why did Emperor Wu risk the world's bad habits and take Han Luoling to court?

"The news is true," said Lin Feng.

Han Xu was silent. In the eyes of others, Han Luoling was favored by the Martial Emperor, but in Han Xu's opinion, this favor was not a good thing.

While combining thousands of favors, you will definitely be jealous of everyone.

Han Luoling's move to the court was equivalent to sending himself to the forefront.

What Han Xu couldn't understand was that this was what Emperor Wu meant or Han Luoling himself.

Looking at the appearance of Emperor Wu that day, he was not a foolish monarch who was addicted to alcohol and sex. Han Xu still had this little vision.

Qing'er didn't say anything. The higher Han Luoling's status, the more correct Wu Xiuxian's investment in Han Xu, the harder it will be to ask for Han Xu's return in the future.

Qing'er was a little worried.

Nishang has other things to do. Once Han Luoling takes office, Xiaoxiang Pavilion will definitely give her a heavier task.

Thinking of this, Nishang felt a little conflicted. On the one hand, she was still loyal to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and on the other hand, she was unwilling to betray or even hurt Han Xu.

Today's morning court is longer than ever, because many government affairs have been accumulated that need to be decided by Emperor Wu.

The six departments of the court also have reports.

When Han Luoling appeared in the court, he did shock everyone, and even some of the self-righteous old ministers were ready to risk their lives to give advice.

But in fact, Han Luoling just sat quietly in the corner for a while, and when the matter started, she consciously withdrew from the court.

From the beginning to the end, Emperor Wu did not care about Han Luoling anymore. As usual, he handled government affairs rigorously and seriously.

Although there are many things, most of them do not require the Emperor Wu to worry about. The six departments have already drafted a proposal, so he just needs to nod.

After the trivial matters reported by the six departments were handled, everyone knew that today's highlight was coming.

The commander of the Tiance Army, Qinling, was still kneeling outside the hall. He had not eaten, drank, and sleepless for dozens of days. His originally strong body was so thin that he was only skinny and boneless.

He was waiting for the Wu Emperor's judgment.

"Xuan Qinling enters the hall." After Emperor Wu said that, two eunuchs went out. Not long after, the Qinling was carried to the hall by four guards. Because he had been kneeling for too long, his legs were no longer conscious.

Seeing his appearance, many officials turned their heads away and couldn't bear to go and see it.

"Minister Qinling, pay homage to Your Majesty." Qinling bowed to Emperor Wu with difficulty.

However, facing his most loyal guard, Emperor Wu did not have any sympathy in his eyes.

He said, "Qinling, how long have you been with me?"

"There are seven days in May of the 53rd year." Qin Ling read out a number accurately without thinking.

All the experienced officials knew that Qinling was already his personal guard when Emperor Wu was still a prince.

Over the years, he has been through life and death and has saved Emperor Wu several times in desperate situations. Moreover, Emperor Wu was not the crown prince before, and he was able to inherit the throne, which is indispensable for the contribution of the Qinling Mountains.

Many people don’t believe that Qinling has a second intention. At most, the accident at the last wedding was that the deputy commander was bought by the queen. Qinling would never be able to participate, and he would not know, otherwise the deputy commander would have disappeared long ago.

But I don’t know the crime of Qinling Mountains.

As the commander of the Tiance Army, he failed to monitor.

Emperor Wu's eyes were very cold. He stared at the veteran who had followed him for many years and said, "You were the one I could entrust to live and die, but you disappointed me."

"I beg your Majesty to give me a death." Qin Ling said, his tone of determination.

He had the intention to die, but before he died, he had to apologize to Emperor Wu.

"Please be kind to your Majesty!" At this time, an official came out to plead for Qinling.

One person took the lead, and then several people walked out. Although these people were not at high rank, they were all pillars and upright people in the six ministries.

A loyal veteran who has made countless contributions should not be killed because of this dereliction of duty. Although he is responsible, he will not die.

Suddenly, a powerful aura swept across the hall, and the Emperor Wu stood up from the dragon throne and looked down at everyone.

"You guys want to plead for him?" Emperor Wu's voice sounded like thunder, and everyone couldn't help but kneel on the ground.

As the king of the Dawu Dynasty, Emperor Wu's martial arts cultivation has long reached its peak. He is one of the strongest masters in this world. Otherwise, how could he firmly hold the position of king in this world where a country is built by martial arts?

Many officials could not stand this powerful pressure, their faces were pale and their faces were covered in cold sweat.

But there are still people kneeling down and pleading for Qinling.

"The old minister also asks Your Majesty for mercy!" Prime Minister Si Nan, who was standing in front, walked out at this time, knelt down and said.

"Sinan, what do you have to say?" After Si Nan left the line, Emperor Wu retracted his momentum and sat back on the dragon throne. Only then did everyone feel relieved.

Many eyes were staring at the prime minister, who was the leader of all officials. One of the protagonists of this incident was his daughter.

Emperor Wu has not held the queen accountable, but it does not mean that it will be forgotten. At this time, Si Nan actually took the initiative to leave the line and plead for the Qinling Mountains.

Those who are very thoughtful have guessed that Si Nan is preparing to use attack as defense this step. Although there are some risks, there is no better way.

Si Nan said in an orderly manner: "When you go back to Your Majesty, this matter has been caused by the daughter of the lower officials and has nothing to do with the Qin commander. I hope Your Majesty will observe clearly."

"Look clearly? How to clearly? Check how many people have you installed by your Prime Minister's Mansion around me?"

Si Nan was so scared that he was overwhelmed and said, "I dare not!"

"Don't dare?" said Emperor Wu, "Why did the Tiance Army enter the palace because of the queen's words on the day of my wedding?"

"When you go back to your Majesty, the deputy commander on duty on that day was a disciple of the old minister, so he met the little girl. It must be because of this. So when the little girl said that someone had collided with the saint, he led the crowd out in a hurry."

"Your protégé?"

"Yes, but after he entered the Tiance Army, the old minister had no contact with him anymore."

"The Tiance Army has been screened for a lot of time, and there will be your disciples." Emperor Wu said coldly, "How do I know if there are any other disciples in the Tiance Army or other disciples."

"Your Majesty has no clarity," Si Nan said.

"I will naturally investigate if there is one." Emperor Wu said, "You all listen. I will give you a chance. If anyone else has installed a man in the Tiance Army and all of them are withdrawn within three days, I can leave them without any blame. If the Xuanyi Guard finds out, I will be punished severely."

When all the officials heard the words Xuanyiwei, they felt a terrified.

If the Tiance Army is one of the left and right arms of Emperor Wu, then the other one is the Xuanyiwei.

The Tiance Army and the Xuanyiwei were both in the light and in the dark, and were both directly under the Wu Emperor. The Tiance Army was responsible for protecting the Wu Emperor's safety, while the Xuanyiwei was responsible for supervising all officials for the Wu Emperor.

The difference is that the people from the Tiance Army can enter through the assessment, while everyone in the Xuanyi Guard was personally selected by Emperor Wu, and no one knows their identity.

It may be a vendor on the street or a lover who is lingering by his pillow.

Their intelligence reported directly to Emperor Wu, and they could arrest anyone without permission and conduct an undisclosed interrogation.

Anyone who is targeted by Xuanyiwei means that you no longer have any secrets.

Emperor Wu glanced at the civil and military officials and continued, "As for you two."

"Qinling Mountains."

"The criminal is here."

"You can continue to sit in the seat of the commander of the Tiance Army for the time being. After you go back, you can rectify your team. If there is another similar incident, come and see you."

"Thank you for your kindness."

"Sinan."

"I am here." Before Emperor Wu could speak, Si Nan continued, "I requested to resign from the position of prime minister, please let Your Majesty agree!"
