Recognizing that the palace maid was Mrs Huarong, Tang Yin jumped down the horse carriage and walked over with large strides. He waved his hand to the guards at the entrance and said: "Get out of the way, don't stop her." The Tianyuan Army Soldiers naturally took Tang Yin as their leader, and after hearing his words, everyone agreed, and quickly retreated to the side. The palace maid looked at the left and right armored guards timidly, then ran over to Tang Yin and said in a low voice, "Master Tang!" "Yes!" "Tang Yin lowered his head, getting close to the palace maid, and asked with a smile:" "What do you have to say, Madam?" "The palace maid whispered into Tang Yin's ear," "Madam said that the matter was handled smoothly, so the Master Tang need not worry." Hearing that, Tang Yin's eyes slightly curved, the corners of his mouth raised, he smiled, nodded his head, and said: "When you return, thank Madam for me." After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and turned around. With large strides, he returned to the carriage and said to the coachman in front, "Brother, go to Left Prime Minister Mansion." Yes! "My lord!" The coachman did not dare delay any further, he shook the reins in his hand and rushed towards Liang Xing's residence.
Seeing that, the surrounding guards all anxiously mounted their horses, and followed Tang Yin's horse carriage, galloping away.
Right now, the Left Prime Minister Mansion were bustling with noise and excitement. Outside of the residence, there were many large and small carriages, all carrying officials of the imperial government. Looking outside, there were even more neat rows of Generals And Soldiers of Pingyuan Army s. Twenty thousand soldiers could be said to be a sea of people, surrounding the Left Prime Minister Mansion that was already considered small by three levels, three levels, with not even a drop of water being able to seep through.
Even Pingyuan Army Commander Xiao Muqing had personally come. Tang Yin had given him a death order, if Zhan Ling was in a bad situation in Liang Xing's residence, he wouldn't be able to protect his head, so how would Xiao Muqing dare to be careless and personally come to command defense.
From a distance, when they saw Tang Yin's carriage, Xiao Muqing and his assistant Chen Fang hurried to welcome him. When Tang Yin came out of the carriage, the two of them, as well as the generals and guards behind him all cupped their hands and greeted him. "Tang Yin nodded, raising his head to look inside Liang Xing's residence, he asked:" "Who are all the people from Minister of Imperial Court here?" Xiao Muqing quickly replied: "Reporting to Sir, basically everyone is here, Prime Minister Wu and Great General Ziyang have also arrived." "Very good!" Tang Yin laughed, with everyone here, it would save him a lot of trouble. He waved at Xiao Muqing and said, "Follow me in and see who this Zhan Ling is!" "Yes!" Tang Yin brought Qiu Zhen, Xiao Muqing, Brother Shangguan and a large number of guards and headed straight for the Left Prime Minister Mansion's gate. Without Tang Yin saying anything, the surrounding Generals And Soldiers of Pingyuan Army all stepped back to the side, opening up a wide path.
Just as he arrived at the Left Prime Minister Mansion entrance, a forty year old Domestic Servant ran out first. His face was full of smiles, he cupped his fists and bowed to Tang Yin, saying respectfully: "Master Tang is here, I will report to Master now." "No need!" Without waiting for the middle aged Domestic Servant to finish speaking, Tang Yin waved his hand casually. He did not spare him another glance and walked into the residence as if there was no one else present.
was the only one who dared to do so in the entire Feng Country. Of course, he also had the capital to be arrogant and despotic now.
In the lobby of the Prime Minister's Hall.
The spacious hall was now filled with officials and dignitaries. Looking around, there were crowds of people, people with high statuses, and people sitting in seats. Many officials were standing on both sides of the hall. Tang Yin could not hear anyone else, he could only hear Ziyang Haochun's loud voice.
"Since the Former King has already appeared, there's no need to discuss the choice of the new monarch anymore. The Queen who had made the Miss Zhan Ling the Windy King was a legitimate person. From the civil and military officials to the common people, all of them would sincerely support his!" Ziyang Haochun loathed Tang Yin a hundred and twenty percent. In his opinion, as long as Tang Yin was not established as a king, anyone could be chosen. The appearance of Zhan Ling was a timely rain.
Liang Xing sat at the main seat in the center of the hall. From start to finish, he had a smile on his face and did not state his intentions clearly. Wu Yu wisely sat down at the side, and did not interrupt them. Who was the king, was not something that Ziyang Haochun could decide, nor was it something that the civil and military officials could decide, it all depended on Tang Yin's decision.
Just as Ziyang Haochun was in a state of excitement, someone in the courtyard laughed out loud. "Since when did Great General Ziyang become a person who could represent all the people in the sect?" Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall was shocked and subconsciously looked towards the door.
Tang Yin who was sitting on a black Official Robe squinted his eyes. With his hands behind his back and an indifferent smile on his face, he swaggered over under the escort of countless armored guards.
"Ah?" Seeing that Tang Yin had arrived, all the officers in the hall closed their mouths at the same time. They stopped talking, and the aura that nearly pushed the door down immediately disappeared, including Ziyang Haochun. monopolized the military power. In front of him, no matter how high the rank of an official, no matter how honorable the status was, it would always be a head lower than him.
"Hehe, the Master Tang is here too." Liang Xing and Wu Yu stood up at the same time, and walked out of the hall to welcome him with a smile. The two prime ministers responded personally, the rest of the officials did not dare delay, and followed behind the two of them, walking out of the hall together and cupping their hands at Tang Yin. Tang Yin looked at the crowd, what Xiao Muqing said was right, all the officials in the imperial court were almost all present.
Excluding Liang Xing, Wu Yu and Ziyang Haochun, there were also the Grand Preceptor Cao Xian, Xu Yong, Zhang Yong and the other officials and ministers. There were also the Great General Peng Shun, the Middle General Guo Huai and the rest. After he finished reading, Tang Yin snickered in his heart. Normally, there would be people coming to the imperial court to complain about their illness, but now, there were even more people than at the imperial court.
Just then, Ziyang Haochun walked out from the crowd. Although he was still lacking in confidence in front of Tang Yin, his expression had already unconsciously revealed a haughty look. He looked at Tang Yin and said: "What does Master Tang mean by what you just said? "Does the Master Tang not think that the Miss Zhan Ling has the right to inherit the throne?" He was purposely trying to trick Tang Yin. If Tang Yin really went along with his words, then he undoubtedly had the heart to disobey, which was also a great injustice. Although Tang Yin was not a schemer, but he could still see through Ziyang Haochun's tricks. Laughing loudly, he asked, "Has General Ziyang ever seen this Miss Zhan Ling before?" He never thought that Tang Yin would suddenly ask this, and Ziyang Haochun was unable to react for a moment. He was startled for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I've never seen it before." Zhan Xiong was actually not the Sovereign King, he was just a marquis, his power was not even as high as the ministers in the imperial court, naturally there were very few officials who took the initiative to curry favor with him, furthermore, Zhan Ling was an illegitimate daughter, his background was disgraceful, and Zhan Xiong would not go around to make a name for himself, not to mention Ziyang Haochun who had never seen Zhan Ling before, none of the ministers had ever seen her.
His answer was already within Tang Yin's expectations. He nodded in satisfaction, then shook his head and said, "Since General Zi Yang has never seen the Miss Zhan Ling before, how can you be certain that this Zhan Ling is real?" Without waiting for Ziyang Haochun to speak, Tang Yin continued: "If this Miss Zhan Ling is a fake, then we will make her our king, and then we will become the accomplices of the tiger, and end my life?" "This …" This sentence caused Ziyang Haochun to have no words to answer his question. His face flushed red and he stammered, unsure of how to respond.
The other officials' expressions all changed, they looked at each other, and they all knew, Tang Yin was saying this because he wanted to cripple Zhan Ling, so he could call himself king! However, he didn't even dare to say those words out loud.
Right at that moment, Liang Xing suddenly laughed, and said: "I think Master Tang is overthinking it. Although we have never seen the Miss Zhan Ling before, she can still clearly tell us the situation of the Marquis' family, and also the jade pendant that the Former King bestowed upon them. It can't be fake. " After pausing for a moment, he turned to look at the officials around him, and warned Tang Yin, "If Master Tang says that the Miss Zhan Ling is fake, then he needs to possess true evidence. Otherwise, he will be guilty of a heinous crime!" The smile on Tang Yin's face did not change, but he was cursing Liang Xing as an old cunning fox in his heart, as he was much harder to deal with than a boorish fellow like Ziyang Haochun.
Hearing Liang Xing's words, Ziyang Haochun immediately became spirited again. He raised his head and said to Tang Yin: "Right! What Prime Minister Liang said made sense. When Master Tang says that Miss Zhan Ling is fake, he must have evidence. "Whether it is true or false, we will find out later." Tang Yin said indifferently: "I wonder if it would be possible for Miss Zhan Ling to come out and let this official have a look." "This …" Zhan Ling was now being protected strictly by Liang Xing's henchmen and Domestic Servant. Although Tang Yin had sent a large army to protect her, who knew what he was thinking? Liang Xing did not think that Tang Yin would really have the kindness to protect Zhan Ling.
Hearing that Tang Yin wanted to see Zhan Ling, Liang Xing was a little hesitant. Just as he was thinking whether he should call Zhan Ling out, Tang Yin laughed and said: "If Miss Zhan Ling is truly Marquis Zhan Xiong's successor, then it would be my Mighty Wind's Crown Prince. What is Prime Minister Liang's intention in keeping Crown Prince under house arrest?" Tang Yin's words were like knives, but after he said them, he also trembled in fear. The latter hastily explained, "Don't misunderstand, Master Tang. I did not keep you under house arrest. I only wanted to protect you …" Before Liang Xing could finish his sentence, Tang Yin interrupted him and said: "Protecting Crown Prince is the duty of all Feng Chen, and is also my duty. Why, do you think that I do not believe in you, or do not believe in the civil officials?" After being robbed of face by Tang Yin, Liang Xing had nothing else to say. He called for a Domestic Servant and asked him to invite Zhan Ling out.
Right now, all of the officers present wanted to see what exactly this Zhan Ling looked like. Since they had reached the Left Prime Minister Mansion, they had not seen Zhan Ling but only the jade pendant that Former King Zhan Hua had given them.
Domestic Servant replied and left quickly.
Everyone else entered the lobby and waited.
Liang Xing originally wanted to give up the seat to Tang Yin, but was rejected by the latter. He looked around at the officials and slowly said, "All the masters here are above me, how can I dare to snatch your positions? I appreciate your kindness, Prime Minister Liang. "Who is good to me and who is doing me in secret, I know and will remember."
