Tang Yin's words did not bring up any names, but it caused the faces of all the ministers present to change.

Liang Xing's lungs were about to explode, but on the surface, he was still calm and composed, talking and laughing with Tang Yin.

Not long after, a flurry of footsteps could be heard from outside. Tang Yin half turned his body to look outside, only to see a group of people walking in. All of them were tall and sturdy, with a single person surrounded by many stars, and as there were too many strong people around, Tang Yin was not able to see too clearly.

It was only when the person in the middle of the crowd, accompanied by two small Maidservant s, entered the Main Hall that Tang Yin was able to see her clearly.

She looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old. She was skinny and did not have much meat on her body, and her skin was tanned. It was easy to guess that she came from a poor background and had been undernourished for a long time.

After Tang Yin finished reading, he could not help but burst out laughing. This was Zhan Ling! If she took off her gorgeous clothes, she would be no different from a refugee from the wasteland. Even the two little Maidservant s by her side were more like ladies than her. He turned his head to look at Liang Xing, and asked: "Prime Minister Liang, is this the Miss Zhan Ling?" After seeing Zhan Ling, Tang Yin was happy, the other ministers were also disappointed. They thought that there was something special about Zhan Ling after Zhan Xiong, but now they had to see her, it was a girl from a poor family.

Liang Xing could naturally understand the thoughts of Tang Yin and the other ministers. He intentionally sighed and shook his head: "Since young, Miss Zhan Ling has been harmed by adulterers, and unfortunately has been left behind in the outside world, suffering greatly. However, because of this, I have been able to gain blessings and escape the persecution of Zhong Tian, thus leaving the Great Feng King Room with the only bloodline. Fortunately, Feng Country! "It was a blessing in disguise!" The ministers and trusted aides of Liang Xing took the opportunity to echo and sigh.

Humph! Tang Yin snorted coldly in his heart, ignoring Liang Xing and the other ministers that were flattering him. He walked over to Zhan Ling and started sizing her up. Perhaps it was because her daily life was too miserable, but even though she was young, her skin was very rough. Especially her hands, which were covered with small calluses.

His sudden approach caused the little girl's already tense nerves to tense up even more. Her shoulders trembled, and her small hands grabbed onto her sleeves as she twisted and turned. Her feet unconsciously moved backwards little by little, like a frightened little rabbit.

Just as Zhan Ling's heartbeat sped up, her heart almost popping out from her throat, Tang Yin who was approaching her suddenly took a step back, a cold smile appeared on his face, and he asked gently: "You are Miss Zhan Ling?" Zhan Ling didn't dare to say anything and only nodded her head timidly.

"Are you the daughter of Marquis Zhan Xiong?" Zhan Ling nodded without a word.

"What proof do you have?" This time, without Zhan Ling to reply, Liang Xing took out a jade pendant from his chest pocket, walked towards Tang Yin and handed it over to him, then said: "This is something that Miss Zhan Ling has brought, all the lords and I have verified it, it is indeed something that belonged to Former King, and Former King has indeed gifted it to Marquis Zhan Xiong!" "Oh!" Tang Yin responded, he extended his hand and received the jade ornament, and after looking through it, he returned back to his bosom and took the jade ornament. Seeing that, Liang Xing's face changed, and he exclaimed: "Master Tang, you are …." Tang Yin shrugged his shoulders and said: "This small jade pendant doesn't prove anything. Let alone the possibility of it being an imitation, even if it is an object from the Former King, it could still be left outside." With that, he looked at Zhan Ling and said, "We will know whether this Miss Zhan Ling is real or fake once we enter the palace." "Enter the palace?" Liang Xing and the other ministers were all startled, not knowing why Tang Yin would suddenly suggest to enter the palace.

"Tang Yin laughed as he looked at Zhan Ling, speaking to the other ministers." As foreign ministers, we have never personally seen her disappear before in the Miss Zhan Ling. However, there will definitely be people who have seen her before, as long as they bring her into the palace, with the ladies taking a glance, they will naturally know if it's true or false. "My lords, what do you say?" His words were reasonable, and since this matter involved the future ruler of Feng Country, he had to be cautious.

At this time, Wu Yu finally expressed his opinion. He nodded and agreed, "Master Tang's words are reasonable." "True gold was not afraid of fire, and it was safest to allow the Former King's wives to appraise it." As soon as he spoke, the ministers close to him said, "Yes, yes!" Liang Xing was not afraid to bring Zhan Ling to the palace to verify, in his opinion, Zhan Ling was definitely genuine. If it was an outsider pretending, they would not be able to understand the situation of Zhan Xiong's residence that well, and even more so not have a jade pendant that Zhan Hua bestowed him. He chuckled and said, "Since all the masters have decided to have the ladies come here to verify the identity of the Miss Zhan Ling, I will not stop them." As he spoke, he turned to Zhan Ling and whispered, "Miss Zhan Ling, are you willing to follow this old subject into the palace?" He reckoned that this little miss had never seen such a huge battle situation in his entire life, with so many officials and dignitaries present, he was already scared stiff. She simply could not hear what Liang Xing was asking and could only nod his head blankly.

Seeing that she agreed, Tang Yin could not help but smile, as long as she was willing to enter the palace, then everything would be fine.

Tang Yin, Liang Xing, Wu Yu, Ziyang Haochun and all the civil servants brought Zhan Ling to the palace.

Right now, Liang Xing's manor was guarded tightly, with twenty thousand Generals And Soldiers of Pingyuan Army s protecting a manor. How imposing was that, and the palace's defenses were even tighter than Liang Xing's mansion, not only were there troops everywhere, even the patrolling formations were almost uninterrupted. Not to mention humans, the defenses were so tight that not even a mouse could enter inside.

When they arrived outside the palace gates and saw this scene, Zhan Ling was so scared that her face turned pale and her legs went soft. She didn't dare to move forward anymore.

Tang Yin who was walking in front stopped in his tracks, turned his head and smiled at Zhan Ling, asking, "Is Miss Zhan Ling scared?" Liang Xing frowned, he quickly went to Zhan Ling's side and comforted her: "Miss Zhan Ling, you do not need to be afraid, you only need to enter the palace to let the ladies take a look." "I …" Zhan Ling wanted to say something, but Liang Xing grabbed her sleeve and walked into the palace.

Right now, there was no Sovereign King in the Feng Country, so the throne in the palace was also empty. According to the responsibilities of the ministers, in most matters of the day, Wu Yu would decide on the government affairs and military affairs, while Ziyang Haochun would be in charge of leading the troops. It was just that now that Tang Yin was in charge of the military, Liang Xing, Wu Yu and the other two had gained their reputation, and did not have any real power.

In the meeting room of the imperial court, although Tang Yin had the smallest position and stood at the back of the hundred officials, he was the one who would decide big matters and small matters. Naturally, it was no exception now.

Without waiting for the others to speak, Tang Yin waved his hand, and following the sound of footsteps, a guard officer ran out of the hall and into the hall. Without waiting for the others to speak, Tang Yin waved his hand, and following the sound of footsteps, a guard officer ran out of the hall and into the hall. "Ladies and gentlemen, please come to the palace for a meeting!" "As you wish!" "Yes!" The guard stood up and quickly ran out.

Seeing this, the other ministers could not help but secretly shake their heads and sigh, not daring to voice their anger. But Tang Yin, who wielded a heavy weapon, was simply the second Zhong Tian. The difference between them was that Zhong Tian had gone against the heavens and established himself as a king, and Tang Yin did not dare to cross this bottom line.

Tang Yin did not care what the ministers thought of him, his eyes turned back and forth, trying to come up with his own ideas.

After an hour of time, Zhan Hua's consorts finally arrived, including the Mrs Huarong.

"We pay our respects to the ladies!" Although they did not have much authority, they were, after all, Zhan Hua's concubines. As Tang Yin bowed, his eyes moved up to look at Mrs Huarong in the midst of the Concubine Yi. The latter did not miss his questioning gaze, and did not say anything, he only nodded towards Tang Yin, indicating that he had completed his task.

Receiving Hua Rong's personal confirmation, Tang Yin felt a lot more at ease, and the smile on his face gradually became wider.

"Ministers, please rise!" the ladies said.

"Thank you Madam!" Waiting for the ministers to get up, one of the Concubines said with a smile, "I heard that Prime Minister Liang found Marquis Zhan Xiong's daughter, Zhan Ling. Is that true?" "Madame is right!" Liang Xing said solemnly: "The reason you have invited all of you to come to the great hall today is precisely for this matter!" While she was speaking, he looked towards Tang Yin and continued, "Master Tang is very suspicious of Miss Zhan Ling's identity, so I have invited all of you to come and confirm it!" Bin Fei nodded and said, "As far as I know, Marquis Zhan Xiong indeed has a daughter called Zhan Ling." Liang Xing was overjoyed upon hearing this, he was really afraid that the Concubines did not know of Zhan Ling! He quickly pulled out Zhan Ling, who was hiding behind him, and said to the other Concubines, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is Miss Zhan Ling!" All of the Concubines raised their heads to look. When they saw Zhan Ling's appearance, they were stunned for a moment before bursting out in laughter.

No matter what, Zhan Ling was a royal family, and the little girl in front of him was black and thin. How could she have the temperament and appearance of a royal family? Don't even mention that Madam Rong Hua had already instructed them beforehand, even if she hadn't, they wouldn't have believed that this girl was Zhan Ling.

All the officials were dumbfounded. They looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Tang Yin asked, "Why are all of you laughing?" One of them, the older one, said, "I am laughing at the ignorance of our masters." These words caused everyone's face to change. Liang Xing hastily asked: "What does Madam mean by this?" If you want to establish a king, then do it, why did you need to find someone to impersonate the Marquis of Zhan Xiong? Even Marquis Zhan Xiong, who was in the netherworld, was unable to calm down. "Ah?" That calm and experienced Liang Xing couldn't help but change his expression after hearing this. He stuttered a little and asked, "Madam, do you mean …?" This Miss Zhan Ling is a fake? "
