Chapter 865 I Also Want to Try What It Feels Like to Kill the Right Prime Minister with a Knife?

Emperor De was so angry that he trembled all over. He grabbed the inkstone on the dragon table and smashed it hard.

The inkstone flew past Zong Sibai's scalp and fell to the ground with a bang, breaking into pieces.

Zong Sibai trembled with fear, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He just saw his grandmother. If the inkstone was a little lower, his life would be completely reimbursed.

"Your Majesty, calm down. The dragon's health is the most important thing!"

Emperor De was furious and roared, "Calm down? How can you ask me to calm down? Ning Chen's words were clearly directed at me... This hypocritical and treacherous traitor, he can show his filial piety, but he makes me be infamous for being unkind, unjust, disloyal and unfilial.

Kill, this bastard must be killed, I will grind his bones and scatter his ashes."

At this moment, a little eunuch walked in quickly and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, the Minister of Rites Feng, the Minister of War Ji, and the Minister of Punishment Li want to see you!"

Emperor De frowned, "What are they doing here? Let them in."

"Yes!"

The little eunuch retreated.

After a while, Ji Mingchen, Feng Gaojie, and Li Zhixing came in and knelt at the same time: "Your Majesty!"

"Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Emperor De looked at them, "Why do you three come to see me?"

Ji Mingchen leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, there are rumors among the people that Your Majesty imprisoned and abused the retired emperor. I wonder if this is true?"

Emperor De's face suddenly became gloomy.

"Lord Ji, are you questioning me?"

Ji Mingchen hurriedly said, "I dare not! It's just that rumors are spreading among the people now. We haven't seen the emperor for a long time, so we come to verify it."

Emperor De was furious: "What are you verifying? As ministers, you eat the emperor's salary, but you actually believe the nonsense of those unruly people? You dare to come and question me... You are usurping the throne and are disrespectful."

Li Zhixing leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, calm down. We are also thinking about your reputation... There are constant rumors among the people now, and the public resentment is boiling. If this matter is not investigated, it will affect your reputation."

Emperor De suppressed his anger.

He knew that these three people were very close to Ning Chen.

In fact, he had always wanted to replace these three people, but these three people were in high positions after all. If there was no big mistake, it would not be easy to replace them.

Especially Ji Mingchen was in charge of the Ministry of War and mastered too many technologies of muskets and artillery. He couldn't find a suitable person to replace him for a while, so he could only keep him for now.

I didn't expect these three bastards to dare to come and question him?

I will find a chance to deal with you three bastards... Emperor De thought viciously in his heart.

Emperor De said in a deep voice: "I have said that my father is old and ill, and has been resting in the Grand Palace... For the sake of my father's body, I don't let you visit my father.

Since there are people with ulterior motives spreading rumors everywhere, I will naturally not sit idly by.

Within three days, my father will appear in front of you and the people, and the rumors will be broken by themselves.

Three dear ministers, you go back first... I will give you and the people an explanation about the rumors."

Emperor De said so, so the three of them naturally couldn't say anything more?

"I'll take my leave!"

The three of them bowed and retreated.

Coming out of the imperial study, the three of them sighed deeply, and then subconsciously looked at each other... After a while, the three of them smiled bitterly at each other.

"I really miss the Daxuan when the emperor was in power."

Ji Mingchen looked up at the sky, his expression melancholy, and couldn't help sighing.

Li Zhixing also sighed deeply: "I also miss it. The Daxuan at that time was full of vitality... Even if there were many unpleasant things, with the emperor and Ning Chen, those things could not affect Daxuan at all.

Look at Daxuan now, it is full of holes and devastation, alas..."

Feng Gaojie smiled bitterly: "As ministers of Daxuan, we can only watch Daxuan decline and be powerless... I only regret that I am powerless and cannot kill those great people who endanger Daxuan. Rats and termites. "

Ji Mingchen looked back and said, "Now the biggest termite in Daxuan is kneeling under the dragon table in the imperial study... But His Majesty turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear, and we can only watch. "

Li Zhixing snorted coldly: "As the Minister of Justice, I am different from you civil servants... If there is a day when I really have to, I can also use a knife... Ning Chen killed the former left and right prime ministers, and I also want to try what it feels like to kill the right prime minister with a knife? "

Ji Mingchen and Feng Gaojie were shocked!

Ji Mingchen lowered his voice, "Lord Li, be careful with your words!"

Li Zhixing sneered, "You are afraid, but I am not... In Ning Chen's words, if a man dies, the birds will fly to the sky, and if he does not die, he will live forever. As a loyal minister of the court, I can only watch the defeat of Daxuan. I am sorry for the emperor's reliance on me, and I am sorry for the people. I'd rather not be an official!

If the day comes when I have no choice, I am willing to turn into an ordinary man and bleed!"

Ji Mingchen's face became serious, "Lord Li, don't underestimate me. As the Minister of War, I am also good at boxing and weapons."

Feng Gaojie said in a deep voice: "Although I am just a civil servant, the six arts of a gentleman include riding and shooting...I am also good at archery."

The three looked at each other with a determined look.

Li Zhixing suddenly said, "If you two are free, how about coming to my house for a drink? Since Ning Chen left, all the Xianlu wine shops have closed down. Now the Xianlu wine is running out, and I don't have many bottles left in my house."

Ji Mingchen immediately understood that Li Zhixing was looking for them to discuss something. After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "There is no fairy dew in my house for a long time. I miss the taste of this nectar."

Feng Gaojie nodded, "Then I will go and have a drink!"

At this time, in the imperial study, Emperor De's face was as gloomy as water.

After Ji Mingchen and the other two left, he was furious again.

Zong Sibai waited for Emperor De to calm down a little, and then he spoke: "Your Majesty, once this matter is leaked, your Majesty's prestige will definitely be affected... Ji Mingchen and others are old ministers left by the emperor. They will not give up until they see the emperor... Do you want to?"

Zong Sibai said, his eyes were fierce, and he made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Emperor De was shocked, "No!"

No matter how stupid he was, he could not accept Zong Sibai's bad idea. Those three were ministers in the court, with many disciples and complicated relationships. If they were killed without a suitable reason, it would definitely lead to chaos in the court and political instability.

Zong Sibai was full of disappointment, and couldn't help but feel sorry for himself. Did this guy grow a brain?

Emperor De said in a deep voice: "I have an idea about this matter, so you don't have to worry about it!

Right Prime Minister, send someone to check for me and see who spread the rumors?"

Zong Sibai's mouth twitched slightly. He just praised Emperor De and said that he grew a brain... In the blink of an eye, his brain ran away from home.

Is there any need to check this?

It must be Ning Chen's doing.

But he still accepted the order with a respectful face: "This old minister obeys the order, and will help Your Majesty find the mastermind behind the rumor!"
