Chapter 128 - Priceless Eight Trigrams from a Chaotic Monarch

Facing this group of people, Baili Yi Chen felt very helpless. Within this group of people, there were quite a few of them who were Baili Yi Chen's uncles, or even ancestors … How should he deal with this!

Just as he was feeling helpless, a noble and clear voice came from outside the Xiwu Hall, "Hong Zhong is still unconscious. As for this matter, why don't we discuss it after Hong Zhong has woken up."

With that, Baili Mingyue's god-like figure appeared at the entrance of the Xiwu Hall, followed by an expressionless Wu Hen.

There were more than a hundred clansmen in the Baili Royal Family, but after seeing Baili Mingyue, they all consciously opened up a path and bowed their heads in greetings: "This old official greets the Regent."

He turned around and looked at the group of people kneeling down. His gaze was clear and cold, and contained a trace of arrogance that could not be defied, "The Emperor is busy with matters of the nation. As for today's matter, the Emperor will definitely find time to settle it. "

Initially, for the sake of Hong Zhong's safety, he had decided to not come to Xiwu Hall for the time being. However, as soon as she rushed back to Bright Moon Hall, he heard that these dukes and dukes from the Royal Family had come to Xiwu Hall. It didn't take much to guess that it was for the matter of Hong Zhong jumping into Holy Pond.

This bunch of old princes and princes, when they were free, they could not bear to see the civil and military officials in the imperial court, so they grabbed onto some trivial matters and put them in a difficult position for half a day. If he did not come personally today, Yi Chen might not be able to take care of this matter.

When everyone saw that Baili Mingyue had arrived, they all lowered their heads, not daring to say anything. On the other hand, the old man in the lead, if you counted him, could be considered Baili Mingyue's grandfather.

He was still a little unwilling to give up as he spoke, "Your Majesty, Lord Regent, the fact that Hong Zhong jumped into the Holy Pond today is a fact and cannot be explained away. This old official thinks that such a person is unworthy of entering our Hundred Miles Royal Family and should be disqualified from joining the palace as an imperial concubine right now!"

The meaning behind his words was that Hong Zhong jumping into the Holy Pond and insulting my ancestor was something all of us personally witnessed. There was simply no time for Hong Zhong to explain herself, so we punished her without even waiting for her to wake up!

After the leader had finished speaking, the rest of the group could not help but look at each other in the eyes. They then bowed and said, "I second that."

"I second that too!"

Normally, they had good relations with Prime Minister Nangong Jue, before they came here, they had also received orders from Prime Minister Nan Gong. Currently, the person supporting them was Prime Minister Nan Gong, so there was no need to worry about them being taken revenge by the Red House after the incident.

Baili Mingyue felt that she should consider this proposal of theirs. Only by abolishing the girl's name as the imperial concubine would he be able to justify his actions. However, to say that he was not fit to be a member of the Hundred Miles Royal Family was something that he found hard to accept.

After all, if he were to marry that little girl in the future, her name would also be accepted by the imperial family. If they did not approve of her at that moment, then even they would object!

If these royal family came to him half a month ago, he would definitely clap his hands in approval and try his best to make it work out for them. However, for some reason, when he heard this statement, he had a strange feeling, "Great Uncle Wang, although Hong Zhong did indeed come before, there weren't any bad consequences. As for the Red House's contribution, it was because of my Southern Qi, so if we punish Hong Zhong because of such a small matter, it would be difficult for us to avoid it. Regent Uncle Wang, what do you think? " After speaking, he turned to look at Baili Mingyue.

"Actually, what Duke Ling said was not wrong, the dignity of the imperial family cannot be desecrated. The crime of Hong Zhong, is enough to punish one who just sat there. The Emperor should immediately decree that General Zhenguo, the guardian of the Jinzhou City, should return and receive punishment."

Baili Yi Chen was startled, he looked at Baili Mingyue, who was beside him, with even more confusion. Didn't Uncle Wang normally treat Hong Zhong very special? Why didn't he protect her right now? Instead, he had to punish her! However, the doubt only lasted for an instant. Soon, he understood Baili Mingyue's intentions.

When Duke Ling heard that Baili Mingyue agreed with his suggestion, he felt that he had done the right thing today! The other dukes who were supporting him were also beaming with joy. It seemed that the matter of punishing Hong Zhong today, would definitely be settled.

Very quickly, Baili Mingyue's words caused their smiles to freeze on their faces.

I think that once General Zhenguo leaves, Xi Ling will take the opportunity to attack. This king remembers that the Crown Prince of Ling County is a wise man with both martial arts and knowledge, why don't we wait for the General Zhenguo to leave and the Crown Prince of Ling County will bring a hundred thousand troops to temporarily guard the Jinzhou City? "

When Baili Mingyue's words came out, that Duke Ling's entire body shuddered. Didn't he know about his son? He was simply a beggar who only knew how to indulge himself. When it came to martial arts and literature, he was truly a genius! If he went to the Jinzhou City and met Xi Ling's group of barbarians, he would probably not be able to return.

Trembling, he kneeled down. "Regent, please think twice, my son is really not a good man and has never been to the battlefield before. He can't take on such a heavy responsibility for the war, I hope the Regent can choose another wise man."

Baili Mingyue silently swept a glance at him, and nodded as if she was thinking about something, "Yes, your highness, there is no need to be so modest. It is true that Crown Prince Ling has never been to the battlefield before.

After saying that, her beautiful eyes that were like moonlight turned towards the people kneeling on the ground, "This king remembers that along with King Rui, Prince Xing and the crown prince of the Jing Jiang family, they are all rare talents and they are also lacking this opportunity to train themselves. Why not let them all follow the Crown Prince of Ling County to the Jinzhou City together? In the future, my Southern Qi will have to rely on the heirs of the counties. "

The voice was cold and indifferent, yet it made the people kneeling on the ground break out in a cold sweat. And the ones that Baili Mingyue mentioned, along with King Rui, King Xing Zhu, and King Jing Jiang, were the few people who wanted to side with Hong Zhong and insisted on punishing him!

After Baili Mingyue finished speaking, she turned around to ask Baili Yi Chen, "Your majesty, what do you think?"

To be honest, these dukes of the royal family all received their country's salary. However, there were very few who could truly go on the battlefield and kill their enemies, and the majority of them were good-for-nothings. If they were really sent to the battlefield, it would be no different from killing them.

However, this outcome seemed to be the best way for them to shut up. They pretended to ponder for a moment, "I believe that what the Regent Uncle Wang said is very true. Then Xiao Shunzi, immediately go back to the Imperial study and prepare the decree … "

Even before he finished speaking, the people kneeling on the ground all turned deathly pale and started kowtowing. "Your Majesty, you can't."

They were ordered to impeach the Red House. However, if he had to impeach the Red House, then he would send the white-haired person to the black-haired person, or even eliminate his descendants, and that would be fine. They still wanted to take the Southern Qi's salary and live in peace until the day of their death!

"Oh?" Baili Yi Chen pretended to be puzzled as he looked at them, "We also feel that we must punish Hong Zhong well and make an example for him. s, Uncle Wang Elders, is there anything wrong with this?"

"Eh …." The few people who were kneeling looked at each other, and finally, the leading Duke Ling quickly opened his mouth and said, "Actually, this old subject thinks that although Hong Zhong fell to the Holy Pond's side, it was unintentional and is reasonable. The General Zhenguo's protection of the Jinzhou City was greatly rewarded. Moreover, Jinzhou City is really a long way from here, so the Emperor shouldn't summon any Red General. "

He Rui also joined in, "This subject agrees!"

Prince Xing Dazhi and King Jing Jiang followed closely behind, "This subject also thinks so!"

"Oh." The corner of Baili Yi Chen's mouth twitched. Look, this was his Southern Qi's royal family! When impeaching political enemies one by one, they were filled with righteous indignation, so much so that even an emperor like him was nothing in their eyes. However, when it came to their interests, they were able to quickly put aside relations. Do you have any other questions for the rest of the clansmen? Or do you think there's something inappropriate about it? "

With this question, the hundred over people who had originally been kneeling down in a grandiose manner, all gathered their breath. They were afraid that if they accidentally let out a little bit of air, they would be found out. Do they dare to have any objections now? They were all old and young, and they all wanted their children to go around their knees and live in peace until the day of their natural deaths!

Therefore, even if he had an opinion now, he absolutely could not suggest it!

Looking at the group of people in front of him, Baili Yi Chen sighed, "Since a few Uncle Wang s think so, then the matter of Hong Zhong falling to Holy Pond is indeed a crime. Uncle Wang, is this possible? " After he finished speaking, Baili Yi Chen turned around to look at Baili Mingyue.

After all, he was the regent of Southern Qi, and there were many times when he had to make the final decision!

Baili Mingyue didn't say anything else, only nodding slightly. The people kneeling on the ground all kowtowed, "Your Majesty the Emperor."

"In that case, can everyone go back?" Baili Yi Chen truly didn't have any good feelings towards these selfish people.

"We will take our leave." Thus, the group of people supported each other and left the Xiwu Hall.

After seeing that they had left, Baili Yi Chen turned around and looked at Baili Mingyue, "Uncle Wang, are you here to see her?"

"Yes." Baili Mingyue nodded. After she finished speaking, she turned her head and her beautiful eyes quietly swept over Baili Yi Chen.

When Baili Yi Chen saw this, he immediately felt an unaccustomed feeling rising from the bottom of his heart, "Mn, the imperial physician has already seen it. He said that nothing is wrong and will wake up later." I still have things to do, so I'll be leaving first. "

Baili Mingyue nodded, "Mm. Your Imperial Majesty, please take care of the Azure Sun Envoy's matters." Initially, he was on his way to receive the envoys. However, the matter from last night, was very clear. This girl was jealous of Princess Qingyang, so in order to prevent her from continuing to be jealous of him, it was better if he did not see her now!

"I know." After Baili Yi Chen finished speaking, he turned around and left.

After watching Baili Yi Chen leave, Baili Mingyue entered Hong Zhong's bedroom. Other than the servants who were serving Hong Zhong, there were two imperial physicians who were checking Hong Zhong's pulse. When they saw Baili Mingyue enter, they quickly got up to greet her. However, they were stopped by Baili Mingyue's action.

When Baili Mingyue saw that the Imperial Physician was checking his pulse, she walked to the side waiting for them to finish checking their pulse. At this moment, she saw Baili Yi Chen's personal eunuch, Xiao Shunzi, carrying a stack of books and was about to leave.

When Xiao Shunzi saw Baili Mingyue, he bowed his head in greeting: "Greetings, Regent."

Baili Mingyue quietly swept a glance at him, and in the end, her gaze landed on the book in Xiao Shunzi's hands: "What are you carrying?"

After Xiao Shunzi heard this, a trace of awkwardness appeared on his face: "This is a book that the Third Miss left behind in the imperial flower garden. It said that it was meant to learn talent, but because it was disrupted by Princess Xi Ling, I can only take it back to tidy it up." In fact, these books were the scant and inappropriate diagrams that Hong Zhong had taken previously. She remembered that when the Emperor had seen them, she was enraged and said that she must definitely give an explanation from the Third Miss.

However, a quarter of an hour before the Regent King arrived, the Princess Qingyang sent someone to deliver all the things to him. He said that she had specially ordered people to collect them and give them back to the Third Miss, and that she could not learn the skills that the women of the Southern Qi had learned.

When Hong Zhong woke up, she would take care of her. Now that the Emperor had left, he thought about it and decided to take all the 'evidence' over there.

Xiao Shunzi was stunned for a moment when he saw Baili Mingyue's smile. The Regent was truly worthy of being called a beautiful man with fame in the Navy Tide Continent. But he quickly regained his senses and quickly lowered his head, "This, this servant will do."

"There's no need. Go back and serve the Emperor." Baili Mingyue spoke in an indifferent tone. Although her tone was calm, it contained a domineering aura that could not be defied.

"Yes." Xiao Shunzi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, placed the book on the table beside Baili Mingyue, and quickly ran off while covering his face. Actually, he really wanted to stay and personally see the Regent King's expression, because he didn't dare to imagine what kind of expression the usually cold and noble, immortal-like and pure His Majesty the Regent would have after he read the atlas collected by the Third Miss.

However, he was also afraid of being silenced by the Regent! Sigh... He felt conflicted. The gossip was priceless, and the price of his life was even higher. It was better for him to hurry up and leave!

Xiao Shunzi ran quickly while covering his face. Baili Mingyue did not notice anything strange, as she reached out to grab a book, casually flipping it open, but she soon froze.
