EBE Chapter 110 Entering the Palace to See You
Chapter 110 Entering the Palace to See You
After Xu Feng and Zhan Wudi had a conversation, they left late at night.
Xu Feng stayed at the inn arranged by Zhan Wudi. He lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, tossing and turning, but couldn't fall asleep.
His main purpose of going to Beijing this time was to persuade the emperor to agree to a cross-sea battle to completely wipe out the Japanese pirates.
Xu Feng knew that the imperial court had sent people to attack the Japanese pirates in the past, but they suffered heavy losses for various reasons and were even annihilated by the Japanese pirates. If he was not completely sure this time, he would not dare to mention it to the emperor rashly.
Early the next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone into Xu Feng's room, he immediately got up, tidied up and washed up, had breakfast, and went to the palace to meet the emperor.
The majesty of the palace shines on the earth like the sun, awe-inspiring and sacred.
The tall palace is shining with gold, as if showing power and glory to the world.
Eunuch Gao, who was beside the emperor, was waiting for Xu Feng at the entrance of Xuande Hall early in the morning.
"Master Zhao, His Majesty has been waiting for a long time."
"Thank you, Eunuch Gao."
Xu Feng spoke lightly, and finally walked into the hall under the guidance of Eunuch Gao.
"Your Majesty, I, Zhao Feng, salute you. Long live the Emperor."
Xu Feng bowed respectfully to the emperor sitting on the dragon throne.
"Hurry up! This time, you defeated the Grandmaster of the Japanese pirates and made great contributions."
The emperor looked at Xu Feng with a smile on his face, and the approval in his eyes was revealed without any concealment.
After Xu Feng stood up, the emperor ordered the eunuch beside him to give him a seat. Such an honor showed Xu Feng's great contributions and hard work.
The emperor held Li Chengfeng's memorial in his hand and looked at Xu Feng with approval. "You have worked hard this time, and I will specially appoint you as a thousand-householder in Linhai County."
The Qianhu of Jinyiwei was a fifth-rank official position. The chief of the Qianhu was responsible for managing important prefectures and counties, leading a force of more than a thousand soldiers, divided into ten Baihu divisions, which belonged to the Wei.
It has to be said that the emperor valued Xu Feng very much, and gave him such a high position and generous salary as soon as he received a reward.
"I thank your majesty for your grace."
Xu Feng hurriedly bowed down.
"kindness!"
Seeing that Xu Feng was a handsome man, the emperor was very satisfied.
"Your servant, Xu Feng, has something to report."
"I love you, but it doesn't matter."
"Right now, the martial arts world is in chaos. I implore Your Majesty to grant the Jinyiwei the power to clean up the martial arts world."
The emperor frowned slightly after hearing this. "Is the Jianghu so complicated? This will inevitably affect and threaten the safety of the imperial power."
"But if that's the case, does Lord Xu have any evidence?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are indeed many martial artists in the Jianghu. Their whereabouts are elusive and difficult to find. More importantly, these people are all outstanding in their respective sects and have extraordinary strength."
Of course, this is just one aspect. Xu Feng is more worried that if some of the small sects are allowed to develop freely, it might really cause harm.
Especially this time, the collusion between Jianfengshan and the Japanese pirates had to sound the alarm for the court.
"If we allow them to continue, they will become a serious problem in the future."
After listening to Xu Feng's words, the emperor nodded.
"What does Captain Xu think?"
After all, Zhao Feng had just entered the capital from Linhai County, and no one knew the situation there better than him.
"Your Majesty, we cannot single out the sects in the martial arts world. While there are indeed some evil sects, there are also some righteous people among them."
Zhao Feng's words were not meant to excuse the people in the martial arts world, but were just stating the facts in front of the emperor.
Especially after Zhao Feng followed Qi Huanhuan to visit the Demon Cult, his impression of the Demon Cult changed greatly.
"I believe that there is nothing wrong with eradicating the evil sects in the martial arts world, but we should still be tolerant of those who are righteous."
"Why do you say that, Lord Xu?"
Soon, a short, fat official stood up and raised an objection. "Your Majesty, according to intelligence reports, a branch of the Demon Cult has been established in the capital. I believe this should be the first matter to be addressed."
"The Demonic Cult has been a perverse sect in the martial arts world since ancient times. Even the martial arts world itself cannot tolerate them. But I never thought they would dare to open a branch in our capital. If we continue to investigate, I am afraid that Jingzhao Prefecture will also be held responsible."
"Your Majesty..."
Zhao Feng quickly stood up to defend the Demon Cult, "The Demon Cult is not what it seems on the surface. In fact, their inner world..."
At this critical moment of life and death, Zhao Feng certainly did not dare to hide anything and reported the truth to the emperor in detail.
"What about other sects?"
The emperor frowned slightly and looked at Zhao Feng with displeasure.
After all, someone threatened the imperial rule, which is probably something that no emperor could tolerate.
"I am willing to sign a military order hereby to wipe out all the evil sects in the martial arts world within one year to ensure the safety of the country."
"Alright! In that case, then Eunuch Gao, please draft the decree. I will personally issue it, ordering all Jinyiwei across the country to take action and eliminate the underworld."
"I obey!"
Xu Feng bowed and agreed.
"You will be in charge of Linhai County."
"Yes."
The emperor paused and continued, "As for whether the Demon Cult is an evil sect? We need to investigate before making a decision."
The current emperor is not a tyrant, and of course he will not believe in everything he hears. After all, some things still require evidence.
No sect can be wrongly accused, nor can any sect be killed wrongly.
After discussing some details, Xu Feng and Zhao Feng said goodbye and left.
"What did Captain Xu mean just now? Why did he have to stand up and speak for the Demon Cult? Did you have any contact with them just after arriving in the capital?"
After all, Xu Feng was a close-knit official in the court, and he was also upright and tough, so he naturally would not be polite when speaking, and immediately put his doubts on the table.
Zhao Feng was not angry, but patiently complained about the Demon Cult.
"Having said that, if it's discovered later that the Demon Cult is indeed a perverse sect, don't blame me for being rude to them. Not only that, but I'm afraid Captain Xu will also be held responsible."
"Your Excellency, please feel free to investigate. If there is irrefutable evidence proving that the Demon Cult is not righteous, I will personally wipe them out without your words."
"Humph!"
Seeing that Zhao Feng refused to listen, Xu Feng was so angry that he stormed out.
……
After leaving the palace, Zhao Feng remained silent all the way, with no emotion on his face, as if nothing could arouse his interest at all.
After returning to the inn, he took the emperor's edict to the study, and the scene of today's court session kept echoing in his mind.
Although the former prefect of Linhai County was also arrested, the current situation is still very serious.
On the one hand, we must find ways to eliminate the evil sects in the martial arts world, and on the other hand, we must try our best to find ways to launch a war against the Japanese pirates as soon as possible.
