The villain and I have eight hundred minds combined

Chapter 54: Political Discussions in the Court (2)

She wanted to confirm this matter, so she quickly looked at the judge Xuan Ning and said to him: "Xuan Ning, please record this matter in the book. From now on, the two elders will not come to the Council Hall. I will pardon them."

Xuan Ning was a single-minded person who only cared about the law that the city lord ordered to be revised, and he quickly responded, "Yes."

"This... I..." Feng Ping and Feng An didn't know whether they should be happy or angry. They stuttered for a while and couldn't form a complete sentence.

The main reason is that what Mu Hanxing said on the surface was simply too nice. Who normally would jump out and scold her?

Out of consideration for your age, I give you a whole year off, but you’re still not happy. What else do you want?

He just had a fight with you and he praised you in front of all the powerful officials. Wouldn't you have to say that he was magnanimous?

A group of people were silent. The party members who were defending Feng Ping and the others had not found a rebuttal for the time being. While they were trying their best to think, Mu Hanxing did not give them time to react and quickly started the next topic: "Okay, let's not talk about this for now, let's get to the point."

She continued, "I've read the report. Besides General Funing from Huajing, there are also the Wenxin Sect from the human world, the Feiyu Clan from Liyuan Palace, the Jade Rabbit Clan from the heavens, and all the rebels in the city who have attacked Fuyue City. Wenxin Sect is the sect I practiced in when I was a mortal. I will go there in person to ask for an explanation. As for the rest of the places, who will go?"

Unexpectedly, Qionghua was the first to stand up at this time. To show her loyalty, she said firmly, "Lord City Lord, I have discussed the matter of the Medicine Scripture with the immortal doctors of the Jade Rabbit Clan before, and I know several of their immortal doctors. Why don't you send me to ask them clearly this time? When I bring back the news, it won't be too late to make the next decision."

Mu Hanxing thought for a moment, looked at her and said, "But you are a doctor after all. If you go, what if they hold you as a hostage in the Jade Rabbit Tribe and use you as a threat to me?"

Qionghua was silent.

At this time, General Zhuque, one of the four military guards in the city, volunteered: "City Lord, I can escort Lord Qionghua to the main city of the Jade Rabbit Clan and ensure his safe return."

Qionghua was slightly startled and glanced sideways at Zhuque.

Mu Hanxing felt that it was not right to send a doctor as an envoy. Moreover, there were many wounded people in the city who needed Qionghua's prescription for treatment. Moreover, if Zhuque left Fuyue City to protect Qionghua, it would be equivalent to leaving the city with no troops. It would be troublesome if someone tricked them into leaving the city and took the opportunity to attack their weaknesses again.

"That's not appropriate. General Suzaku continues to lead the troops to defend the city. You cannot leave your post at this time." She ordered in a cold voice.

Qionghua and Zhuque had no choice but to obey and said nothing more.

No matter how you think about it, important officials in the court cannot leave the city at will and delay their duties. So now the task of going to various places to seek explanations can only be sent to those who have important positions but some weight in the city. The more Mu Hanxing thought about it, the more she felt... this job should be given to her concubines in the harem?

They are also very important, and their absence will not affect the operation of the city much. As for Jingchen's position as the Minister of Finance, she plans to manage it personally on his behalf, so it doesn't matter. Not only that, she can also take this opportunity to take back Jingchen's right to control the city's finances and continue to flatter him.

So, Mu Hanxing looked at Jingchen and Fengxiao. Although he had made up his mind, he still asked them hypocritically for the sake of democracy: "Jingchen, Fengxiao, who of you is willing to go to the Jade Rabbit Clan to ask for clarification?"

The two looked at each other, and Feng Xiao said first: "I am willing to share the worries of the city lord, as long as the city lord trusts me."

As he spoke, Feng Xiao glanced at her with a serious expression and clear eyes.

She actually understood that look at once. There were two meanings in Feng Xiao's words. The first was that she believed he could complete the mission on behalf of the monarch. The second was that she believed he would return to her after leaving Fuyue City.

Feng Xiao was trying to please her so much, she couldn't be too suspicious. After all, their Phoenix Clan still had the support of Fuyue City.

So, Mu Hanxing nodded and said, "Okay, you lived on the Jianmu tree before, so you may know more about the Jade Rabbit Clan than anyone else, so you can go... Then, as for Huajing, Jingchen can go, because you are very familiar with the place, and no one else can talk to the emperor except you."

Jing Chen thought about it and quickly said, "I obey your command."

As for how to tie these two people up so that they can help her work without distraction and finally return to Fuyue City honestly, Mu Hanxing has already thought of a plan, but this matter cannot be said in public, as it will make the two of them unhappy, so she can only find them in private.

"As for the remaining Feiyu Clan of Liyuan Palace, since I have specially approved Long Jin to return to Liyuan Palace to visit his relatives, I will go to him in person to ask for an explanation later. As for the rebel leader Chu Rong, he will be imprisoned for the time being until he confesses."

Although she already knew about Long Jin's affairs, she still wanted to talk about it briefly.

In fact, the most important thing right now is what she doesn’t know, especially Huajing and the Jade Rabbit Clan.

"In addition, I received a report from Huan Chong. He compiled a confession from a rebel who was in prison for me and found that the military organization urgently needs to be adjusted to prevent people from forming cliques and betraying the monarch."

Huan Chong did organize and submit the confessions to her, but most of the prisoners said nonsense that she already knew, so she made up the conclusion that would help her implement the new policy.

After he finished speaking, the ministers below were in an uproar again.

Jingchen and Fengxiao remained calm. Every time they discussed politics, they would never jump out to openly oppose her implementation of a policy. This was a smart approach they chose.

But the others were not like that, especially Feng Ping who had just been forced to take a rest. He immediately complained: "The various military camps in the city have been through years of training and integration. Suddenly reorganizing the troops will only demoralize the army!"

Feng An naturally followed his brother in expressing his ten thousand disagreements, and quickly replied, "That's right! Moreover, the techniques practiced in each military camp are different. How can we adjust them? If we practice from scratch, wouldn't it be a waste of time!"

At this time, the leaders of the military camps on all four sides of the city stood up and began to refute.

"My Lord City Lord, please think twice. The magic skills practiced by my White Tiger Camp are all fierce and powerful. We need warriors with strong spiritual power to join the camp. Other camps..." The leader, General White Tiger, glanced at the others.

There is something else behind these words, and it makes people feel uncomfortable.

Mu Hanxing laughed silently. This kind of openly stirring up hatred was something she welcomed. If the generals of the Sifang Camp all got along so well, then she would be the unlucky one.
