Stunning beauty

Great Merchant Palace.

In front of Fengtian Temple.

Under the watchful eyes of the great merchants, civil and military officials.

Li Ziye walked step by step, the thousand-story stone steps were so long.

Above the stone steps is the Fengtian Hall, which symbolizes the peak of the power of the Great Shang Dynasty, a thousand-year-old dynasty.

For thousands of years, the people who were able to step on this stone step were basically princes and nobles and important court officials. Those below the fourth rank were not qualified to appear here at all.

Not to mention Li Ziye, a commoner without any official position.

Scholars, peasants, workers, merchants, and merchants were the last of the four major classes in the Great Shang Dynasty, and no amount of money could change the gap between these classes.

If it wasn't for Li Ziye's great contributions to the great merchants, and the Emperor of Shang granted him the title of national scholar in order to show the court's meritocracy, Li Ziye, as the son of a merchant, would not be eligible to enter Fengtian Hall.

but.

Everything in the world is always full of wonders, and today, Li Ziye, the son of a merchant family, finally walked up to Fengtian Hall step by step under the watchful eyes of all the officials of the great merchant, both civil and military.

Inside the hall.

The ministers of the Great Merchant looked at the young man walking outside the hall with a slightly condensed expression.

After a year, the young man of the Li family seemed to have grown up a lot.

A little less immature, a little more stable.

"Grassman Li Ziye, see Your Majesty."

Li Ziye entered the hall without raising his head, and saluted respectfully.

"Li Jiaoxi has the status of a national scholar, so there is no need to be polite."

In the main hall, Emperor Shang looked at the young man below with a peaceful expression.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Ziye got up and stood there quietly without saying a word.

In front of the ministers, Tao Yaoyao looked at this guy's abnormal appearance, and felt even more worried.

When things go wrong, there must be a demon. When this guy entered the palace last time, he showed his sharpness. Today he came here with a grievance, but he is so quiet, which is very strange.

"Boy from the Li family!"

After Li Ziye entered the palace, King Xuanwu in front of the ministers was the first to hold back, and said angrily, "You are so brave, you deceived a great Shangwu King, do you know what crime it is!"

"The grassroots don't understand the words of King Wu."

Li Ziye said calmly, "When did I deceive King Xuanwu?"

King Xuanwu took out the written evidence and said angrily, "You dare to say that this is not your fault, Li family boy, don't think that if the seal on it disappears, you can hide it from the world. This king will not believe it, and no one will read it that day. It's up to you to stamp the seal of the Li family."

"What the hell is King Wu talking about?"

Li Ziye frowned slightly, and said, "What seals, what lies, King Xuanwu, can you explain it a little more clearly?"

"you!"

King Xuanwu looked at the boy in front of him pretending to be crazy and foolish, his chest felt tight with anger, and for a while, he didn't know how to continue asking.

"His Majesty!"

At this moment, Lu Siqing, the head of civil servants, walked out and said in a deep voice, "No matter what Li Jiaoxi said, he is also a national scholar. King Xuanwu has no evidence, so it is too much to question him so fiercely!"

"Ah."

In the main hall, Emperor Shang nodded, looked down at King Xuanwu, and said coldly, "King Xuanwu, step back!"

Down below, King Xuanwu shook his body, but he still suppressed the anger in his heart and retreated.

Behind, all the officials looked at each other and sneered in their hearts.

It seems that this King Xuanwu is still unwilling to give up and wants to force the son of the Li family to show his feet. Unfortunately, this matter is a foregone conclusion, and it is difficult to turn around!

After this incident, King Xuanwu and the third prince will temporarily restrain their edge in a short time.

"Professor Li."

The Emperor Shang drank away Queen Xuanwu. In the middle of the hall, Lu Siqing turned around, looked at the young man behind him, and said with a gentle expression, "Your Majesty called you into the palace to ask you about being ambushed by the Blackwater Army. You can tell the whole story about it." Say it carefully, don't be afraid or worry about anything, His Majesty will make decisions for you."

"Thank you, Mr. Lu, thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Ziye bowed to each of them, and then said calmly, "Before the New Year's Day, my father was plotted against and poisoned. On the way back to Yuzhou City, the grass people encountered plots one after another..."

In the eyes of everyone, Li Ziye explained in detail what happened on the way back to Yuzhou City, detailing everything.

In the hall, all the ministers had heard about the several assassinations of the young man in front of them, and there was not much surprise on their expressions.

The Li family tree is very popular, and there are not a few people who want to bring down the Li family. At that time, the situation of the Li family was that the head of the Li family was poisoned. If this son of the Li family had another accident, the entire Li family would be in chaos.

Li Ziye couldn't help sneering in his heart while talking about the events at that time and looking at the appearance of the officials.

He can be sure that the people who attacked him at the beginning accounted for several people in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.

These old foxes wish for something to happen to the Li family.

"Black armor, longbow, heavy shield?"

In the middle of the main hall, when Lu Siqing heard the boy from the Li family talk about the equipment carried by the Black Water Army, his face showed anger. He looked at King Jiuyou ahead, and said angrily, "King Jiuyou, you are just suppressing bandits. You need a longbow. And a heavy shield, this is obviously prepared for dealing with martial arts masters!"

In front of the ministers, King Jiuyou heard Lu Siqing's questioning, and said calmly, "In the report, the bandits do have some martial arts experts. It is reasonable and reasonable to use long bows and heavy shields."

At the back, all the officials heard King Jiuyou's explanation and looked at each other in blank dismay. Before, if there was even a sliver of doubt, it was a misunderstanding. Now, this sliver of doubt is no longer there.

King Jiuyou wanted to kill the son of the Li family.

The heavy shield soldiers of the Black Water Army will not be dispatched easily, and the excuse of suppressing bandits is really not good.

But, why did King Jiuyou want to kill the son of the Li family?

There shouldn't be any intersection between King Jiuyou and the Li family, let alone any grievances.

Is it difficult?

Thinking of this, all the ministers looked at Emperor Shang in the main hall, and their hearts were shocked.

Is His Majesty going to kill this son of the Li family?

King Jiuyou has always only obeyed His Majesty's orders, only this reason can explain why King Jiuyou wanted to take action against the Li family's son.

Not right either.

After a brief moment, the ministers dismissed this idea again.

If His Majesty kills the son of the Li family, he will not use this method. He dispatched a few royal family members to do the job. Not only will he have greater confidence, but he will also avoid falling into the trap. It is far better than mobilizing the Blackwater Army to set up an ambush.

This matter must be the decision of King Jiuyou himself, His Majesty probably didn't know about it before.

In the main hall, the thoughts of the courtiers kept flashing through their minds, guessing what was going on.

"Maybe, it's really a misunderstanding."

When Manchao civil and military were thinking, Li Ziye opened his mouth and woke everyone up with his words.

When the admonisher Zhang Qizheng heard what the young man said, his expression was startled, and he said anxiously, "Boy, His Majesty is making decisions for you, what are you afraid of, don't you want to seek justice for yourself?"

In the main hall, all the ministers looked at each other, their eyes became complicated, but they were not too surprised.

This boy from the Li family is a smart man, knowing that King Jiuyou can't afford to offend, he wants to make a big problem into a small one.

In front of the ministers, King Jiuyou also showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

He seemed to think highly of the son of the Li family.

At this moment, Tao Yaoyao and Mu Bai were the only ones in the entire Fengtian Hall. Looking at the young man in the middle of the hall, they felt something was wrong.

strangeness.

This guy is definitely not someone who is willing to bow his head easily.

What is he planning?
