After Zhi Ming's words came out, the whole hall was silent, making everyone's heart skip a beat and their faces look shocked.
No one expected that this matter would alert Marquis of Knowing Fate to come out and ask. Great Xia was divided into civil and military forces, and the Yongye disaster was in full swing. Logically speaking, Marquis of Knowing Fate had no energy to pay attention to this matter.
The ministers lowered their heads, secretly communicated with each other's eyes, and passed the blame with each other. No one wanted to be the one who stood out.
On the dragon throne, Xia Mingri also saw something was wrong. His expression darkened and he said nothing, watching what these courtiers were going to say.
The oppressive atmosphere became more and more intense. Seeing that Minister of Agriculture, who controlled the treasury, could not escape, he walked out of the queue and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, Martial Marquis, it is now the time of war between our dynasty and Eternal Night Divine Cult. The treasury is empty and we are doing our best to arrange things for the victims. It just takes some time."
Xia Mingri remained silent and continued to read with a sullen face. He knew better than anyone else how many things Ning Chen still had to do. If it was just an ordinary and trivial matter, he would not have the energy to pay attention to it.
"Marquis Xiaoxian, what do you think?" Your Highness, Ning Chen turned his attention to an old minister and said calmly.
Marquis Xiaoxian walked out tremblingly, a flash of fear flashed in his old eyes, lowered his head and said, "Martial Marquis, this matter does not fall under the jurisdiction of the old minister."
"Marquis Pingling, does this matter have anything to do with you?" Ning Chen looked at the middle-aged man behind Marquis Xiaoxian and said calmly.
When Marquis of Knowing Fate called his name, Marquis Pingling was shocked. He immediately went out and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Martial Marquis Ming Jian, I have done my best to arrange places for the victims, and I have never slacked off."
Ning Chen did not respond. He turned his attention to another important minister in the court again and said, "Sir Minister of Ceremonies, you are the chief admonisher in the court. Do you want to express your opinion?"
On the dragon chair, Xia Mingri listened to the names named by Ning Chen, his face became more and more gloomy. Although he did not speak, it was obviously a sign of an extremely angry explosion.
"I have a clear conscience."
Below, Minister of Ceremonies walked out with a resolute look on his face, without any fear on his face, and responded.
"Master Minister of Ceremonies is indeed worthy of being the leader of the remonstrating ministers. He is so majestic and admirable." Ning Chen sneered, then glanced at Kong Yu among the ministers, and said, "Master Ministry of Justice, bring the things you found to your majesty."
"Yes" Kong Yu responded, took out the accounts he had checked out these days and handed them over.
A young eunuch in front of the dragon chair quickly stepped forward to take it, and then handed it to Xia Mingri.
Xia Mingri looked at the accounts presented, page by page, for a long time, and then gently put them down.
"Very good"
The sound was very good, so calm that no waves could be heard. However, the next moment, Xia Mingri suddenly slapped his palm on the table next to him, making a loud bang that shook the whole Heavenly Edict Hall.
"I have turned against you." After the collapsed table, Xia Mingri looked at the ministers below, with anger surging in his eyes and murderous intent.
"Come here!"
"In"
One by one Dragon Guard Army entered the hall and knelt down to obey orders.
"Put Minister of Agriculture, Marquis Xiaoxian and Marquis Pingling into the sky prison!" Xia Mingri said sternly.
"Yes." Six Dragon Guard Army soldiers stood up and escorted the three people out.
"Your Majesty, spare my life!"
The voice of begging for mercy Yiyi is heard, desolate and trembling, but it can no longer shake the emperor's murderous intention. The people are the foundation of the country. On the pretext of resettling the victims, they embezzled the treasury, gathered the party for personal gain, and even bribed officials to deceive the superiors and subordinates. All crimes are unforgivable.
"Minister of Ceremonies, do you have something to tell me?" Xia Mingri looked at the leader of the remonstrators below and said with a gloomy expression.
"My lord, I have a clear conscience." Now that things have happened, how could Minister of Ceremonies be willing to let go and said in a deep voice.
"Very good"
Xia Mingri's eyes kept beating with murderous intent, and he said in a cold voice, "Lord Ministry of Justice, I leave this matter to you. Any officials involved in the resettlement of the victims will be thoroughly investigated."
"According to the order," Kong Yu respectfully accepted the order.
"Uncle Four Emperors" Xia Mingri looked at the man in royal attire among the ministers and said seriously, "The resettlement of the victims is imminent. I hope that the uncle can spare no effort to take over this matter."
Your Highness, Prince Hua sighed secretly in his heart, walked out, and said, "I obey the order."
Xia Mingri then felt relieved, glanced coldly at Minister of Ceremonies who was kneeling below, and said, "Retreat from the court."
"Retreat"
The little eunuch's voice resounded Heavenly Edict Hall, and all the ministers knelt down to worship him. Amid the cry of long live, those with a guilty conscience were dripping with cold sweat.
The princes and ministers left one by one, Xia Mingri did not leave, Grand Tutor, Duke Jingwu, Ning Chen did not leave, Prince Hua also stayed behind, and had something to explain.
Ning Chen gave Prince Hua a junior gift. Xia Miaoyu took good care of him on the way to see him off. He has never forgotten this favor.
Looking at the young man in front of him, Prince Hua felt a lot in his heart. Time flies so fast. The former young man has grown up, and Miaoyu has been married to the Zhenji Kingdom for four years.
"Uncle Emperor, we may encounter a lot of resistance in relocating the victims this time. This is Emperor's Sword. If necessary, you can kill it first and then report it." Xia Mingri took a noble king's sword hanging on the right side of the dragon chair, handed it to the person in front of him, and said seriously.
"Thank you, Your Majesty" Prince Hua took Emperor's Sword and said thank you.
"Ning Chen, thank you" Xia Mingri looked at the person in the wheelchair and said seriously.
"Your Majesty, you're welcome." Ning Chen sighed softly and said, "I just hope that when you Martial Marquis and the generals are fighting abroad, they won't be stabbed in the back because of Great Xia's internal reasons."
If hundreds of thousands of disaster victims engage in violence, the consequences will be disastrous. Great Xia We already have enough external troubles, and there can be no more internal worries.
"Don't worry, this won't happen again," Xia Mingri said with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"One more thing, Your Majesty must be mentally prepared." Ning Chen thought for a while and decided to tell the truth, "Eternal Night Divine Cult does have a three-disaster powerhouse, and his strength is definitely no less than Martial Lord."
Hearing the former's words, the eyes of several people present sank. This is the worst news. One Martial Lord is already a big trouble that cannot be solved. Add in a top powerhouse who is no less than Martial Lord, and Great Xia is really dangerous.
Ning Chen did not say much about this matter, but changed the topic to the disaster of the four poles. He looked solemn and said, "The person sent by Four Extremes Sacred Lands has also appeared in Falling Moon City. Whether it is true or not, I have to go over and have a look. These days, Grand Tutor also asks Grand Tutor to search in the Confucian classics to see if there is a way to complete the boundary of space."
"Yes." Grand Tutor nodded and accepted the matter.
After saying these things, Ning Chen didn't stay any longer. He said goodbye to several people, turned around in his wheelchair and left.
After Ning Chen left, Xia Mingri's expression became cold. He looked at Grand Tutor and said in a deep voice, "Sir, some of the ministers who came out of the Confucian sect are becoming more and more outrageous. I hope you can be mentally prepared."
Grand Tutor sighed helplessly, bowed as a courtier, and said, "It's all up to your Majesty."
Outside the palace, Liu Ruoxi stood there quietly. When he saw the approaching figure, he naturally took two steps forward to push the wheelchair, and immediately walked towards the Hou Mansion.
"Ruoxi, do you regret staying in the Hou Mansion?" Ning Chen asked.
"Never regret" Liu Ruoxi replied.
"Ha" Ning Chen smiled softly and didn't ask any more questions. As long as she didn't regret it, as for the future path, it was up to her to choose.
Zhiming Marquisate, after the two came back, they did not go out again. Ning Chen sat quietly in the courtyard, meditating on things.
At sunset, Ning Chen gathered his thoughts and said calmly, "Let's go."
"Yes"
In the room, two responding voices sounded, and the next moment, Ghost Qi passed by, and the figure in the courtyard disappeared.
Falling Moon City, after night falls, there is peace and tranquility. After three years, Falling Moon City has basically returned to its former prosperity. As the sun sets, the city is full of lights. Looking from a distance, it is extremely beautiful.
"Marquis"
In front of a dilapidated mansion, Ministry of Justice's spy knelt down and saluted, saying respectfully.
"Is anyone still inside?" Ning Chen glanced at the mansion in front of him and asked.
"Well, I've always been there. I haven't left. I seem to be doing something." The spy responded.
"Ghost Maiden" Ning Chen nodded, then turned his head and said softly.
The void behind him was filled with Ghost Qi, and a red silhouette appeared, turning into a streak of light and quickly swept into the mansion in front of him.
A moment later, there was a loud bang, and the aftershock of the clash of palms shook most of the mansion. A blue figure flew out in embarrassment and fled towards the north.
Ghost Maiden chased him out, Ning Chen summoned the ghost sedan and followed him closely.
In front of Luoyue Gorge, Ghost Maiden blocked Xuan Zhi's way, and Ning Chen followed suit, turned his wheelchair, and walked out of the ghost sedan.
"Sure enough, it's you!" Xuan Zhi said with a pale face and murderous intent.
"Long time no see," Ning Chen said calmly.
On the other side, Ghost Maiden didn't say a word, stepped lightly on lotus steps, and the mighty ghost power spread, covering the moon in the sky.
"Rakshasa Maiden, hell, what a pity."
However, at this moment, an indifferent voice sounded between heaven and earth. A moment later, green formations filled the air, and three figures slowly appeared, with breathtaking breaths.
"Are you surprised? It's too late," Xuan Zhi said with a sneer.
Ning Chen looked slightly condensed, stood up, and with a move of his hand, the knife of love was unsheathed and dropped into his hand. The pure white and narrow blade reflected cyan light in the night, which was cold to the bone.
"Marquis of Knowing Fate, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon. Unfortunately, your luck ends here." Zong Qianqiu waved his hand, and the evil god came to the world. His green face was cold, his fangs were bone-piercing, and his sword, halberd, axe, and ax Demonic Might vibrated, making people tremble.
Xuan Zhi moved his body and struck with a palm. Suddenly, the brilliance of the formation shook and lightning suddenly appeared.
Ning Chen raised his knife to block the thunder. At the same time, he turned his palm to face the former's palm force, to meet the opponent head-on.
With a bang, after the two palms collided, Ning Chen actually took a step back and fell behind.
"Don't think that you are the only one who knows how to hide. Today, you will understand how ridiculous your firefly wisdom is." After saying this, Xuan Zhi pressed his palm again, using the power of the formation to shake the world.
Ning Chen took another three steps back. His injured body, coupled with the suppression of the formation, was in danger for a while.
Ghost Maiden Seeing that the situation was not good, a beautiful figure flashed past, eager to provide support. However, the four evil gods blocked the way, blocking all the way forward.
"Ghost Desolation Art, Hundred Ghosts Trapping Heaven"
Ghost Maiden's expression quickly turned cold. He raised his hand and said the Ghost Desolation. In the howling wind, ghost shadows flew out one after another, roaring and running, blocking the four evil gods. <
