Chapter 187 The Imperial Palace (Part )

The next day, the sun shone on the majestic imperial palace, and the glazed tiles sparkled with golden light.

"Why didn't Lord Ye come to court today?"

The emperor sat on the high dragon throne, his brows slightly furrowed, and his eyes swept over the ministers in his palace.

The voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable majesty as it echoed in the spacious court hall.

The ministers below looked at each other, confusion and anxiety in their eyes.

They looked at each other and shook their heads.

These ministers were dressed in gorgeous court robes, some stroked their beards, some lowered their heads slightly, but no one dared to speak rashly at this time.

No one answered. The court was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. This silence was depressing.

When the emperor saw that no one spoke, he became furious. He slammed the armrest of the dragon throne, making a loud "bang".

"Speak up, are you dead? Aren't you usually quite talkative? Why aren't you talking now?"

The emperor's voice exploded in the court like thunder, and his eyes burned with anger, making the ministers tremble with fear.

At this time, a man stepped forward tremblingly and said, the minister's face was pale, his legs were shaking slightly, and it seemed that he mustered up great courage to take this step.

"Your Majesty, we don't know what's going on?" His voice trembled a little, with a hint of panic.

The emperor looked at one of them and said, the minister who was being stared at felt his heart tighten and he felt a huge pressure.

"Tell me, aren't you usually very close to Ye Hao? What about him?" The emperor's eyes were like sharp swords, piercing straight at the minister.

“Your Majesty, I don’t know.” The minister stammered with fear. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. His body was trembling slightly, as if he would collapse to the ground at any time.

When the emperor glanced at the eunuch beside him, the eunuch immediately nodded in understanding. The eunuch looked respectful, bowed slightly, and then retreated quietly.

The emperor continued to look at his ministers, took a breath, and asked.

"What do you think about Mo Tianyu in Tianzi City?" His voice sounded again, breaking the brief silence.

The ministers looked at each other, each thinking about how to answer this difficult question.

After hearing the emperor's question, the ministers remained silent, and the atmosphere became more solemn.

The emperor's face became even gloomier and he stared at them with sharp eyes.

After a while, an old minister named Zhang stepped out slowly and said, "Your Majesty, Mo Tianyu changed the name of Hancheng to Tianzicheng, which is really disrespectful."

The emperor nodded slightly in satisfaction, motioning for him to continue.

The old minister cleared his throat and continued, "I think we should quickly gather our forces, send out good generals, and capture the Emperor's City in one fell swoop to demonstrate your majesty's power."

At this time, another minister stood up and refuted: "Your Majesty, you must not act rashly. Mo Tianyu has been operating in Tianzi City for a long time. The city defense is solid, and his men are strong. If you rashly send troops, you may suffer casualties, which will not be worth the loss."

After hearing this, the emperor frowned slightly. Obviously, this was not what he wanted to hear.

Both sides held their own opinions and an argument immediately broke out in the court.

The emperor listened to the arguments of his ministers and made a decision in his mind. He raised his hand slightly, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"Okay, stop arguing. I think what Minister Zhang said is absolutely right. Mo Tianyu actually changed Hancheng into Tianzi City. This is obviously a blatant enemy of me. He must know who is the king." The emperor's voice was firm and powerful, full of majesty.

At this moment, a loyal minister stood up, stepped forward, clasped his hands together, bowed, and

"Your Majesty, I think this is still inappropriate. Mo Tianyu has been doing his job in Tianzi City for so many years. Over the years, under his careful governance, Tianzi City has been in good order and the people have lived and worked in peace.

More importantly, the surrounding small countries are intimidated by our power and no longer dare to easily invade an inch of our border land. All these signs show that Mo Tianyu is loyal to Your Majesty and has no disrespect at all! "

However, after hearing these words, the emperor seemed extremely displeased.

He frowned, his eyes revealing a hint of anger, and responded coldly: "Could it be that you have been secretly dealing with Mo Tianyu, or even secretly colluding with him and communicating with him?"

Before he finished speaking, the minister's body trembled violently as if he was struck by lightning.

Then he knelt on his knees with a plop, kowtowed repeatedly, and said in a panic:

"Your Majesty is wise! I would never dare to do such a treasonous thing! I hope Your Majesty will not listen to slander and wrongly accuse loyal ministers and generals!"

The emperor frowned, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "How dare you! How dare you question what I have decided? Come, take this man down and chop him off."

The guards immediately stepped forward, picked up the minister and dragged him out of the palace.

The minister was terrified and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please spare my life! I am loyal to you and only care about your Majesty's country!"

But the emperor remained unmoved and watched the minister being dragged out.

All the ministers in the court were silent and dared not make a sound.

They knew that the emperor was suspicious and had been afraid of Mo Tianyu for many years. He had finally exiled him to Seoul and left him to fend for himself, but who could have thought that he would come back to life.

The emperor glanced at his ministers and said majestically, "I have made up my mind. From today on, I will start preparing to attack Emperor's City. My dear ministers, please do your best to share my worries. If you are lazy, I will not let you off easily."

The ministers knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty is wise and wise. We will do our best."

The emperor continued, "Pass on my order, and order the Ministry of War to quickly gather troops, select good generals, prepare food and supplies, and choose a day to march to Emperor's City. We must conquer it in one fell swoop, without any mistakes."

All the ministers responded in unison: "Your Majesty is wise."

Then, the emperor said to the old minister named Zhang, "Lord Zhang, you have been in government for a long time and have rich experience. Do you have any suitable generals to recommend for this expedition?"

The old minister bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I think General Li Qing can take on this important task. General Li is brave and good at fighting, resourceful, and loyal to Your Majesty. If he leads the army to war, we will surely be victorious."

The emperor nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I will do as Minister Zhang said. Tell General Li Qing to come to the palace immediately. I want to tell him in person about this expedition."

Soon, General Li Qing came to the court. He was dressed in armor and looked majestic. He knelt on one knee and saluted the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I, Li Qing, kowtow to you."

The emperor looked at Li Qing with anticipation in his eyes.

"General Li, I order you to lead the troops to attack Tianzi City. Do you have the confidence?"
