A melodious bell sounded, and everyone in the entire Immortal City heard the bell. As people in the Immortal City, everyone knew that the bell meant that the Great Court Meeting was about to begin, and then three whips were heard. , everyone in the Immortal Capital knows that the Great Court Meeting has officially begun. Just now, the silent whip was ringing, which means that the Immortal Emperor will appear in person at the meeting today.

In the Immortal Palace, hundreds of civil and military officials were lined up on both sides, and the Immortal Emperor was sitting high on the high platform. On the left hand side of the Immortal Emperor, stood an old eunuch. This old eunuch looked very old, because he had no Bearded, so standing there, she looked like an old woman. This old eunuch was none other than Liu Zhong, the chief steward of the inner palace and the admiral of the Hussars.

On the right side of the Immortal Emperor, there was also an eunuch standing, it was Wei Xiaode. Both of them stood there with their bodies bowed, like two clay sculptures, but no one dared to look down upon them.

At this time, the Immortal Emperor glanced at the people below, and then said: "I think everyone knows why I appeared here today. Chensha Lake and Xianling were attacked at the same time, and the ones who attacked them turned out to be people from the Shadow Clan. , this is really a big joke, our army is attacking the Shadow Tribe people and recovering the lost ground, but now there are actually Shadow Tribe people coming here to attack us, I wonder what you think?"

No one spoke. The Immortal Emperor looked at the ministers below, and then said: "Over the years, some of you have always thought that I have too many things to do. They always say that this world is not mine alone." , it is the world of all people, and I have always believed that you are right, so I have been delegating power to you over the years, and I have always wanted to hand over power to your hands, but you do not seem to have taken charge of this world. Okay, before the Shadow Clan people took over our land one after another, you couldn't control it. Now the Shadow Clan people have openly appeared in our fairy world and attacked the Immortal Tomb in order to take away the Shadow Clan's artifacts. And you I haven't received any news in advance, so I just want to ask you, what are you usually busy with? What can you do? Come, tell me, let me know something."

At this time, the two people standing in front of the ministers knelt down and said loudly: "I am guilty, please punish me." These two people are the left and right figures of the immortal world. One is named He retreats, and the other is named Sima Lang, the two of them can be said to be the leaders of the hundred officials. When they saw the two of them asking for forgiveness, the other officials all knelt down and apologized in unison.

The Immortal Emperor looked at these ministers and sneered suddenly: "Are you guilty? Then how should I punish you? Sima Lang, tell me."

Sima Lang really didn't expect that the Immortal Emperor would say this today. He was really stunned. The Immortal Emperor has always been very gentle. In this meeting, he would also give them face, and there were many At that time, the Immortal Emperor would not go to court, but he did not expect that the Immortal Emperor would be so rude this time, so Sima Lang was stunned for a moment.

But the Immortal Emperor asked him, and he had to answer. He immediately said: "Your Majesty, this matter is very strange. Our army is attacking the Shadow Clan. No matter what, they cannot attack separately. Ours, but they have sent people now, so I suspect that those who come to attack us may not be the real Shadow Clan people."

Of course, Sima Lang didn't want to be punished, so he directly found an excuse for himself, and this excuse sounded really a little bit reliable, which also made other people's eyes brighten. They really hadn't thought of this before, but now that they heard what Sima Lang said, it seemed to make some sense.

The Immortal Emperor looked at Sima Lang. He knew that Sima Lang's thoughts were just to evade responsibility, but he also knew that he could not push these people into a hurry, otherwise it would only be counterproductive. But to be honest, He was really disappointed with these people. These people were usually good at fighting for power, but when it came time to do things, they couldn't do it.

The Immortal Emperor did not answer Sima Lang's words, but said in a deep voice: "Liu Banban, this time you, the Cavalry Guard, will go out to investigate this matter. I want to know whether those people are from the Shadow Clan." Liu Zhong responded immediately. His voice was a bit shrill, really like an old woman.

The Immortal Emperor then said to Wei Xiaode: "Wei Banban, you send the Dongwei to Chensha Lake to question the crime, and you will set up the Dongwei Yamen at Chensha Lake. Over the years, the Linggui clan has really returned more and more. , he actually allowed the Shadow Clan to break the seal, he really deserves to be punished." Wei Xiaode also responded.

After issuing two imperial edicts, the Immortal Emperor looked at the kneeling officials below, and then said in a deep voice: "Everyone, get up. Before there are further investigation results on this matter, I don't want to punish anyone, but once Now that the investigation has revealed its results, don’t blame me for being rude. The soldiers on the front line are still fighting against the Shadow Tribe. If a fire breaks out in our backyard, the efforts of the soldiers on the front line will be in vain."

After everyone thanked them, they stood up. The Immortal Emperor looked at their appearance and then said: "Our Immortal Realm is currently recovering the lost land, but to recover the land, we must send troops to guard it for a long time. This kind of consumption is really too much. It’s huge, but if we don’t send troops to guard it, the land we have recovered will probably be taken back by the Shadow Clan soon. What do you think we should do to solve this problem?”

Upon hearing what the Immortal Emperor said, the ministers below were all silent for a while. This is indeed a big problem. If a large army is really sent to guard the border all year round, the consumption will indeed be too great. But how to solve this problem? Now No one really can tell.

When the Immortal Emperor saw their appearance, he couldn't help but sigh lightly, and then he said in a deep voice: "Sima Lang, why retreat? You two, after you go back today, have a good discussion with your ministers and see. Is there any good way? After discussing the results, I can write a memorial and submit it."

The two of them responded in unison, and then the Immortal Emperor continued: "How much do you know about the person who has been snatching the Shadow Clan's skeletons? How do you think we should deal with this person? Let's talk about it. "

When they heard the Immortal Emperor talking about the giant, all the ministers seemed to be in high spirits. One minister came out and said: "Your Majesty, the identity of this traitor has not been verified yet. He is actually a member of the Hussars Guards and the Eastern Guards." I've passed, please punish the Hussars and the Eastern Guards, and order them to find out the identity of this thief within a time limit."

Upon hearing what the man said, the Immortal Emperor couldn't help but reveal a smile, and then he said: "Okay, that's good. The identity of the thief has not been found out yet. This is indeed a difficult problem, but is it possible?" In this world, are only the Eastern Guards and Hussar Guards able to investigate people? What do the officials in various places do? Shouldn’t it be the responsibility of those officials to count the people in various places? But until now, there is no one anywhere People, you can tell me the identity of that person, but you actually want me to punish the Hussars and Dongwei. Hahahaha, that’s good, that’s good. It seems like you really treat me as an idiot, don’t you? Come on. People, drag him out, destroy his cultivation, demote him to a common people, and no one from his family will be allowed to serve as an official in the court forever."

Following the Immortal Emperor's voice, two men in heavy armor walked in in front of the main hall. As soon as these two people entered the main hall, they immediately caught the man who kept crying and begging for mercy, and dragged him straight away. After a while, there was a scream outside the hall, and then there was no sound. However, everyone in the hall knew that the man was not dead. He should have just fainted because of his cultivation. .

The Immortal Emperor looked at the ministers below and chuckled suddenly. After a while, he finally said: "Okay, that's great. You all are really looking at me covetously. You don't know that I have any power in my hands. It seems that it’s okay if you don’t come to this meeting in the future.” After saying this, the Immortal Emperor stood up directly, flicked his sleeves and left.

Wei Xiaode and Liu Zhong glanced at these ministers and left with the Immortal Emperor. The ministers looked at each other, but their expressions were very ugly. They all knew that what the Immortal Emperor just said was tantamount to breaking up with them. Well, they really didn't expect that the Immortal Emperor would do this. It seemed that they would inevitably have to face the Immortal Emperor's difficulties in the future.

When they thought of this, the ministers couldn't help but hate the stupid young man just now. They really wanted to know who that guy was and why he dared to say such words at this time. Wasn't this just what he wanted to do? Do you want to anger the Immortal Emperor? What good does this do him?

At this time, He Tuizhi glanced at everyone, and then said: "Are you satisfied now? Our efforts for so many years have been destroyed in one fell swoop, and you are satisfied? I know that everyone is staring at Dongwei and Hussar Guard , I feel that with them around, you are all living uneasily. Your Majesty will know whatever you do, so I have been trying to deal with the Hussars and the Eastern Guards. But I also ask you to be smarter, Piao. What kind of existence are the Cavalry Guard and the Eastern Guard? Those are His Majesty’s eyes and ears. That’s what they do. You still want to get rid of them. What do you want to do? Do you still want to close your eyes and listen? , Isn’t it possible to separate the inside and outside? If anyone dares to do this next time, don’t blame me for being rude.”

Sima Lang also said: "Your Majesty has a purpose. After you return, you will find a solution to the problem of excessive consumption of border troops as soon as possible. After you go back, you all think about a solution. Okay, let's all disperse." Those ministers said Only then did they respond, and then they all turned and left.

But Sima Lang, who was waiting in the door, walked up to He Tuizhi and whispered to He Tuizhi: "Prime Minister Zuo, look."

He Tuizhi shook his head, glanced around and said nothing. Sima Lang understood what he meant. He meant that this was not the place to talk, so he stopped talking, and the two of them walked out.

At this time, Liu Zhong and Wei Xiaode had followed the Immortal Emperor back to a room in Houzhan. The Immortal Emperor went to change clothes first, and then went to the study and sat on a couch in the study. Then the Immortal Emperor looked at Liu Zhong and Wei Xiaode said with a smile on their faces: "Liu Banban arranged it well. Arranging people to say such words at this time is just for me to take advantage of the topic and hammer them hard, but it is a pity for that person." It turns out. The person who made the comment was actually arranged by Liu Zhong. No wonder he dared to say such words at that time.
