"Woo..."

A long horn sounded in front of the palace gate, and the closed palace door slowly opened with a sound of wood squeezing.

Seeing that the palace gate in front of them was already wide open, a group of Wei courtiers who had been waiting here walked towards the palace one after another.

As one of his colleagues passed by him, Wang Cuo, the imperial censor of the Wei Kingdom, just stood silently where he was.

He glanced gently to the right side, where Xia Qing Duan Qianjie also stopped in his tracks.

The two eyes met at the same moment, and between nodding silently, a tacit understanding was reached in an instant.

After doing all this, Wang Cuo and Duan Qianjie stopped looking at each other and walked slowly towards the palace city ahead where the court meeting was about to be held.

After a while, the courtiers who had already stabilized themselves on their seats either remained silent or discussed privately, waiting in various ways for the arrival of the real master of the court meeting.

"Your Majesty has arrived..."

In the main hall, along with the sound of a loud bugle call, the bit of noise that had remained in the surroundings almost disappeared in an instant.

While everyone in the court was sitting there watching their noses and hearts, the Marquis of Wei, Wei Feng, wearing a red robe and a long sword on his waist, slowly walked into the hall.

"I will pay my respects to you, Your Majesty."

"Everyone is safe."

After some greetings between the monarch and his ministers, Wei Feng's eyes swept across the courtiers below, and a friendly smile appeared on his face.

"I wonder if you have anything to report to me during today's court meeting?"

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

As soon as Wei Feng finished his question, a response immediately sounded from the courtiers below.

When everyone looked in the direction of the sound, as the leader of the ministers and the head of the hundred officials, Prime Minister Gongsun Qi had already stood up from his seat in the front.

After coming to Wei Feng and bowing in front of him, he heard Gongsun Qi say: "I would like to report to you, your Majesty, just ten days ago, there was a family rebellion in the land of Yueyang in the east of Qin Dynasty."

What!

The moment Gongsun told the news, most of the officials in the court who had not received the news in advance were shocked.

Since Wei Marquis Wei Feng succeeded to the throne, he has defeated powerful enemies in a row and has made brilliant achievements in allying with the princes. These courtiers have already branded Wei as the most powerful country in the world today.

In the eyes of these courtiers, Wei is so powerful that almost no one dares to offend it. How could anyone dare to take such a risk and do something that is almost impossible to succeed under the rule of Wei?

As the doubts gradually emerged in their hearts, everyone's eyes subconsciously looked at Wei Feng above. It was no surprise that the friendly smile was no longer on his face at this moment, and what was left was just as cold as frost.

With a "bang", Wei Feng's face was filled with anger as he slapped the tables in front of him with his right hand.

"These Yueyang clans are so courageous. They dare to offend the majesty of our country, Wei."

Almost at the same time as he said these words, Wei Feng's eyes shifted to a figure on the right who was standing in front of him.

"Where is my General of Wei?"

"The end will be here."

Hearing Wei Feng's call at this moment, and seeing General Pang Juan walking out without the slightest hesitation, everyone in the court as witnesses felt awe in their hearts.

Anyone can see that the Marquis of Wei, Wei Feng, is furious and is ready to directly send General Pang Juan to lead an army to put an end to this rebellion among the Yueyang clan.

For a moment, everyone who deeply felt Wei Feng's anger lowered their heads, and even spoke words of comfort in unison.

"Your Majesty, please calm down."

While everyone in the court lowered their heads to console him, what they didn't see was that although there was anger on the surface, there was not much anger in Wei Feng's eyes.

Not only that, when he met the eyes of Prime Minister Gong Sun Qi below, an imperceptible smile appeared deep in his eyes.

After receiving the hint from Wei Hou Wei Feng, Gongsun Qi, the prime minister, stopped Pang Juan who was about to accept the order and bowed to Wei Feng above him to report.

"Please, Your Majesty, please calm down."

"Fortunately, thanks to the king's good governance and the blessings of our ancestors of the Wei Kingdom, although there are family members in Yueyang who are plotting rebellion this time, they have been put down by the troops led by Yueyang County Magistrate Gongsun Yang and County Wei Sun Boling."

"The main criminals involved this time are Yu Kai, the head of the Yu family in Yueyang, and Pi Zhan, the head of the Pi family. They have also been imprisoned in Yueyang Prison and can be escorted to the capital at any time to be dealt with by the Sikou in accordance with the law."

If Gongsun Qi's words just now were like a bolt of thunder from the nine heavens on a summer thunderstorm day, it would bring shock and fear to everyone in the hall;

So what Gongsun Qi said at this moment was like the heavy rain after the thunder, giving these Wei courtiers coolness and relaxation.

After freeing his body from the huge pressure from above, he gently exhaled a breath of turbid air that had been accumulated for a long time. The faces of these courtiers invariably revealed a somewhat relaxed look.

Looking at the relieved faces of the courtiers in front of him, Wei Feng also put away his dignity and showed a somewhat satisfied look on his face.

When some of the courtiers below saw this scene, they immediately realized that their opportunity to show off in front of your Majesty had come.

"Your Majesty, I think that the Yue Kai, Pizhan and others of the Yueyang family have evil intentions and that your Majesty dares to raise an army to rebel. This is a heinous crime. If we don't deal with it seriously this time, I'm afraid someone will follow suit in the future."

"Your Majesty, I think what the doctor said is very reasonable. If I don't severely punish Yu Kai, Pizhan and others, wouldn't the "Book of Dharma" established by the former prime minister Li Kui be an empty text?"

"Your Majesty, I agree to severely punish Yu Kai and Pizhan. Otherwise, it would not be enough to demonstrate the majesty of Wei Fa."

"Your Majesty, I second your proposal."

…

As more and more courtiers came forward and expressed that Yu Kai and Pizhan should be severely punished for plotting rebellion, the mood in the court could be described as intense and angry.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Everyone's words gradually converged into one voice, which was to use the lives of Yu Kai and Pi Zhan to maintain the majesty of Wei Fa and the dignity of Wei State.

Looking at everything around him silently, Xia Qing Duan Qianjie, who had never stood up, frowned secretly, feeling in his heart that there was no room for change in the matter.

If he stood up to protect Yu Kai and Pi Zhan at this moment, he would be risking the disapproval of the world, but if he didn't protect them...

When his heart was extremely entangled, Duan Qianjie looked to the side and in front of Wang Cuo, the imperial censor who was also looking at him, his eyes full of expectation.

When Wang Cuo replied to Duan Qianjie, he was still calm, and his eyes seemed to have a certain light of confidence.

Seeing this scene, Duan Qianjie had some doubts in his heart. Could it be that as Wang Cuo said a few days ago, he already had some kind of response?

Just when Duan Qianjie was feeling uneasy, a figure among the courtiers followed the footsteps of a colleague in front and left his seat.

However, he did not follow the trend and demand severe punishment for Yu Kai and Pizhan. Instead, he said something completely different from the attitude of everyone before him.

"I would like to inform you, Your Majesty, that I thought that this family incident was hurried and settled so quickly. Maybe there is something hidden in it."

This man's words immediately silenced the originally angry court. Regardless of whether they were demanding severe punishment or were silent, almost everyone turned their eyes to him.

Sometimes some opposing voices will be drowned in the heated discussion, but sometimes other attitudes that are completely different from others will attract people's attention.

I just don’t know if the courtier in front of me is standing up to express his different opinions at this moment. Is it just for the sake of being new and different, or is he trying to attract attention, or does he have some deeper conspiracy?

When almost everyone present looked at this man and prepared to continue listening to what he had to say next, Wei Feng, who was sitting on the throne, was shocked in his heart.

He immediately thought of the conversation at Gongshu Cuo's residence a few days ago, and a different kind of premonition appeared in his heart.

After temporarily suppressing the thoughts in his chest, Wei Feng raised his head and looked at the person who spoke with a somewhat scrutinizing gaze.

"Oh? Maybe there is some hidden secret in it? So in your opinion, what is the hidden secret in it?"

After hearing what Wei Feng said, the man's face immediately showed a look of panic, and he immediately bowed and took half a step back.

"I was unable to know what happened and couldn't tell the secret behind it. Please forgive me."

"I just think that this is a major conspiracy, and there may be something unknown in it."

After this man finished expressing his thoughts with some fear and persistence, his uncle Wei Zhi, who was sitting at the front of the court, also stood up.

"Your Majesty, I think that what I said just now is based on hearsay and is mostly conjecture, but..."

After passing through the previous words lightly and placing a heavy emphasis on the word "but", Wei Zhi continued: "But the words are not unreasonable."

"In the past, there were cases where defenders on the borders of other countries mobilized troops to gain military merit, which ultimately led to the start of a war that should not have happened."

"Your Majesty, the lessons learned from the past are clear to our eyes. Perhaps this rebellion of the Yueyang family is just like the war that should not have happened?"

After hearing what Wei Zhi said, Wei Feng's heart sank, and the expression on his face became a little exciting.

"According to my uncle's opinion, the rebellion of the Yueyang family is caused by the county magistrate Gongsun Yang and the county lieutenant Sun Boling, who are seeking military glory and deliberately bullying the Yueyang family, right?"

As soon as Wei Feng said these words, Wei Zhi immediately bowed and looked like he was apologizing.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. This is just a guess made by me."

Although on the surface it looked like he was just guessing, Wei Zhi was happy in his heart.

Of course Wei Zhi knows the truth about the Yueyang family's rebellion, but is the truth really that important? Or what is the truth that Wei Feng believes in, that is the important thing.

This is a conspiracy.

Even if Wei Feng had great trust in Gongsun Yang and Sun Boling, he still had to get to the bottom of these matters in the face of opposition from the court.

As for who to send to investigate this matter and what the final result will be, there is a lot of work to be done.

Sure enough, after Wei Zhi expressed his doubts, Wei Feng's eyes immediately fell on Wang Cuo, the censor in charge of supervising officials.

"What's wrong with the imperial censor, Wang?"

"I'm here."

His eyes first glanced at Wei Zhi, who was still bowing, and then returned to Wang Cuo. Then he heard Wei Zhi ask: "How does the imperial censor think this matter should be handled?"

"Your Majesty, I believe that since the Yueyang family has plotted rebellion, in order to maintain the dignity of Wei Fa, it is natural and reasonable to punish them in accordance with the law."
