Chapter 403
"Do you bend over? It really deserves to be killed!" Emperor Dingwu seemed expressionless, but he said in his heart.
He was really pitiful. Over the years, he had received too much anger against Shangqingshan and others, and he had long hated them.
Therefore, hearing that Mei Qingfeng’s personal disciple and the law enforcement elder in Shangqingshan were not angry because he was rectified by Mo Bai on the spot because he did not bend down because of his worship of the prince. He not only did not get angry, but he also admired him very much and felt that his heart was very relaxed!
"Your Majesty, Zhuo Yunfeng is the representative of Shangqingshan who entered the capital in advance for negotiation preparations. Now he was openly killed by His Highness and sent to Shangqingshan station to force Mei Yunqing to take the thorns and apologize. The incident has had too great impact and has led to a lot of discussion. Representatives from all parties have jointly protested on the matter and asked us to give an explanation immediately." Zhang Bangli did not know that His Majesty's thoughts were in his heart at this time, but his expression was grim.
Emperor Dingwu looked deeper considering the actual problem, but said, "I want me to explain it? What's the explanation? The rebellious son was banned by me in the mansion. These idiots who don't know how to provoke him and come to him to seek death. I also want me to give an explanation. Do I really don't know what they are thinking about this trip? Now that I can't steal chickens and lose rice, I'll let me explain it. Do I really think I'm so good at bullying?"
Zhang Bangli smiled bitterly and sighed: "Your Majesty, it is still legitimate to go to the Sixth Prince's Mansion on the surface of Lin and Shangqingshan. One goes to visit his son-in-law and the other goes to visit his disciples. These are all reasonable things."
"Since that's the case, let's tell them that this is a personal grudge between them and let them resolve it themselves!" Dingwu said coldly.
Zhang Bangli became more helpless when he heard this: "But now Zhuo Yunfeng has been killed by His Highness. He went to visit as an elder of the master. But after being killed, they would only say that His Highness killed the early representatives who participated in the negotiations. Chu Ruo's words before leaving had clearly defined Zhuo Yunfeng's identity. He deliberately created panic. The representatives of all parties who had entered Beijing now responded strongly and jointly submitted a letter to the State Council, asking the State Council to give an explanation. Otherwise, they would leave the State Council collectively on the grounds of security issues. The responsibility for the failure and the breakdown of the joint negotiations will be borne by the State Council!"
Emperor Dingwu's face was as cold as ice, and he looked extremely ugly. He said in a deep voice: "What a big hat, is this threatening me?"
Zhang Bangli thought to himself, isn’t it a threat?
He bowed and continued: "Now the joint anti-barbarian incident has attracted attention from the world. Originally, the negotiations were initiated by Lin Piece, and we lost the opportunity to the people's hearts. Once the negotiations were damaged, the people would inevitably be in an uproar, and the consequences would be unimaginable!"
Emperor Dingwu couldn't help but be shocked. Of course, he knew that the dynasty today could not bear this hat.
In the past, if he failed on the battlefield, he could still put the blame on Lin Zhe and others. After all, foreign enemies invaded, and Lin Zhe did too little on the battlefield.
But now the Lin thief has taken the initiative to negotiate and send troops to fight against the barbarians with the State and the State and the State and the State and the State will refuse again. In the future, they will really fight against foreign enemies independently. If there is a slight decline on the battlefield, just a gust of wind will be borne by him.
But after thinking about it, Emperor Dingwu snorted coldly again: "Is it my request for them to leave Beijing collectively and fight against the barbarians? Want to scare me? A joke, they will leave if they have the ability. If I really want to destroy the country, even if I only have one last breath, I can still let them be buried with me!"
Emperor Dingwu was not afraid, his voice was cold!
But Zhang Bangli knew that what His Majesty said was the truth, but he could only be angry words!
If you are really willing to give up and give up the five hundred-year-old Daxia to foreign enemies, and become the tyrant king of the country who has been infamous for thousands of years in history books, why should you be so enduring and suffer so much anger?
After all, it was precisely because he was unwilling to lose that Lin Zhe joined forces that he tolerated and accepted it.
Sure enough, Emperor Dingwu finally calmed down and knew that this matter would still have to be resolved. He said in a deep voice: "What do they want?"
Zhang Bangli whispered: "Request to publicly punish the murderer immediately to serve as a warning!"
"Punish it immediately?" Emperor Dingwu raised his eyes and stared at Zhang Bangli, unable to hear the meaning: "How to punish it severely? Let me kill the emperor immediately and bow to them?"
Zhang Bangli bent lower and hurriedly said, "In the eyes of his subordinates, this matter is just an excuse. In addition to being really worried about his own safety, this is actually the first confrontation between the Kuomintang and theirs before the negotiations officially started. In the end, he still wanted to use this matter to make the Kuomintang concessions in the subsequent negotiations!"
Zhang Bangli said implicitly, but the meaning was to understand.
Either severely punish the Ming king, or make concessions in negotiations and sacrifice national interests.
Emperor Dingwu didn't say anything else. He knew that Zhang Bangli dared not make any suggestions for this decision, so he had to make the decision himself.
He stroked his hand on his forehead and felt that his head started to hurt severely again.
Finally, he closed his eyes and rubbed his temples, saying, "Since the unrestrained son has the ability to cause trouble, he must have the ability to take responsibility. Let's go and ask the unrestrained son, how should I deal with him?"
Speaking of this, he opened his eyes again and said, "As you said, this is a test. If they easily force me to compromise, they will become more aggressive in the next negotiations. This matter must be resolved, but it cannot be as they wish. Since they demand severe punishment of the murderer, then investigate the case first and then convict it according to law!"
"This..." Zhang Bangli was slightly stunned, not knowing how to interfere, and finally smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, I am worried that it will be too long to delay. If they really leave Beijing, it will be difficult to deal with it. Moreover, the matter is not over yet. Your Highness sent the body to Shangqing Mountain and asked Mei Yun to personally take the blame before the darkness of the sky. This matter is very likely to cause a greater conflict."
Emperor Dingwu's head hurts more and more. The pain makes him feel angry and unable to control his emotions. He waved his hand directly: "What can happen? Whether Mei Yunqing will go or not to apologize is her business. Why should I help her feel at ease?"
"I'm afraid that her highness won't give up if she doesn't go!" Zhang Bangli said again.
Dingwu slapped the table: "He dared to go out of the mansion to commit crimes, which is to disobey my will!"
This was not the first time, Zhang Bangli thought to himself, but then his heart moved and his face suddenly changed.
He realized that His Majesty's words had a mystery. If His Highness left the palace, it would be punished because His Highness resisted the order, rather than being punished by coercion from all parties...
Zhang Bangli couldn't help but feel frightened, and you hurriedly bowed and said goodbye to leave.
Before leaving, I heard the tired voice of His Majesty instructing the eunuch: "I am dying, please come here!"

...
After leaving the Ming Palace, Chu Ruo went directly to Shangqingshan station, but did not stay there all the time. He soon left Shangqingshan station on the grounds that he wanted to go back to inform the lord and discussed with the Southern Army to seek justice for Zhuo Yunfeng.
Now the Southern Army has long become their backer, so Shangqing Mountain naturally has no objection to this. Even if Zhuo Yunfeng's incident happened, he still sent several masters to him to continue to protect his safety.
However, Shangqingshan didn't know that the reason why Chu Ruocai didn't stay with them was because if he really stayed with them, he would have to go forward and retreat together.
Once something goes wrong, the State and the State will not compromise in the end. At that time, he will also face the State and the State and the State and the State and the State will face it head-on.
Retreat first is to leave room for regress so as not to end up in embarrassing situations when Mei Yunqing is really forced to go to the Ming Palace to apologize, he will respond, not, not respond, and end up in an embarrassing situation.
Now he is staying in the garden prepared in advance, and is closely monitoring the situation with several strategists.
At this moment, when a family member came to report on Zhang Bangli's departure from the palace and headed straight to the Ming Palace, his eyes flashed slightly and asked in a deep voice: "Did he lead troops? No?"
"No, but I took several officials from the Ministry of Justice with me!" said the subordinate.
Chu Ruocai immediately frowned and nodded, "Try again!"
"Yes!" The subordinate retreated.
There was a person beside him looking up at Chu Ruocai: "I didn't lead the troops, but I took the Ministry of Justice with me. What does this mean?"
"Is this going to investigate the case?" Before Chu Ruocai could speak, a person interjected: "The Ming Palace has personally admitted such a clear matter at the gate of Shangqing Mountain. What else can I do? Does Emperor Dingwu really dare to protect the Ming King regardless of the opinions of all parties?"
Chu Ruocai shook his head and said affirmatively: "He dare not! If he does not give an explanation for this matter, how can he prove his sincerity? Even the safety issues cannot be guaranteed. Who else dares to enter Beijing? It is normal that Emperor Dingwu is not a person who can submit easily, so it is not surprising that he pretends to behave first?"
"But if he checked for three or five years, what should he do?" another man asked in a deep thought.
As soon as this statement was spoken, everyone frowned. What is the difference between this and clearly protecting the Ming King?
Chu Ruocai also narrowed his eyes and pondered for a while before speaking: "He thought, but no one would give him this convenience! Let him go, this is shooting himself in the foot. Before dark, if there is no answer to this matter, don't think of suppressing this matter anymore! The Ming King killed someone and asked the real person's daughter Mei Yunqing to come to the door to apologize. How do you domineering and arrogant? How can all parties sit and watch this happen? If you bear it this time, you will never want to compete with the state for the subsequent negotiations!"
"Yes, it depends on how long Emperor Dingwu can hold on. He wants to suppress everyone. Humph, if everyone is really suppressed by him and dare not move, why do you have any joint negotiations? Could it be that he will take advantage of him when he comes to the door? If so, who would have to be thankless to curry favor with him? I don't believe it, he really dares to force everyone away!" Someone nodded and sneered.
Everyone nodded when they heard this, but suddenly one of them hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, King Ming is the lady's husband after all. Do we really want to sit idly by and watch him die?"
Obviously, this is an old man from the Lin family. He still has the idea of considering Lin Suyin's existence, so hesitated to speak.
