Dashang Palace.

In front of Fengtian Hall.

Under the watchful eyes of the great businessmen, civil and military officials.

Li Ziye walked step by step, the thousands of stone steps were so long.

Above the stone steps is the Fengtian Hall, which symbolizes the pinnacle of power of the thousand-year-old Shang dynasty.

For thousands of years, the people who can set foot on this stone staircase are basically princes, nobles and important officials of the imperial court. Those below the fourth rank are not qualified to appear here at all.

Not to mention Li Ziye, a civilian without any official position.

Scholars, farmers, workers, merchants, and merchants ranked last among the four major classes of the Shang Dynasty. No amount of money could change the gap between these classes.

If Li Ziye had not made great contributions to the great Shang Dynasty, and the Emperor of Shang gave him the title of national scholar in order to show the meritocracy of the court, Li Ziye would not be qualified to enter the Fengtian Palace as the son of a merchant.

but.

Everything in the world is full of wonders. Today, Li Ziye, the legitimate son of a merchant family, finally walked up to the Fengtian Palace step by step under the watchful eyes of the great merchants and officials.

Inside the main hall.

The ministers of the Great Shang looked at the young man walking outside the hall, their expressions slightly condensed.

After a year, this young man from the Li family seems to have grown up a lot.

A little less immature and a little more steady.

Li Ziye, a grassroots man, comes to see Your Majesty.

Li Zi entered the palace at night, without raising his head, and saluted respectfully.

Li Jiaoxi has the status of a national scholar and does not need to be polite.

In the main hall, Emperor Shang looked at the young man below and said calmly.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Li Ziye got up and stood there quietly without saying a word.

In front of the ministers, Tao Yaoyao looked at this guy's unusual appearance and felt even more worried.

When things go wrong, there must be a monster. The last time this guy entered the palace, he was very sharp. Today, he came here with injustice, but he was so quiet, which was very wrong.

The Li boy!

After Li Ziye entered the palace, King Xuanwu in front of the ministers was the first to be unable to bear it. He said angrily, "How dare you to deceive a great Shang Wu King? Do you know what your crime is!"

The common people could not understand what King Wu said.

Li Ziye looked calm and said, "When have I ever deceived you, King Xuanwu?"

King Xuanwu took out the document and said with an angry look, "You dare to say that this is not your fault. Li family boy, don't think that the disappearance of the seal on it means you can hide it. I don't believe it. No one saw it that day."

You stamp the Li family's seal.

What on earth is King Wu talking about?

Li Ziye frowned slightly and said, "What's a seal, what's a secret? King Xuanwu, can you explain it more clearly?"

you!

King Xuanwu looked at the young man in front of him pretending to be crazy, and his chest felt tight with anger. For a moment, he didn't know how to ask.

His Majesty!

At this moment, Lu Siqing, the leader of the civil servants, walked out and said in a deep voice, Li Jiaoxi has the status of a national scholar after all. King Xuanwu did not have any evidence, so he asked such a fierce question, which was a bit too much!

Um.

In the main hall, Emperor Shang nodded, looked at King Xuanwu below, and said coldly, King Xuanwu, step back!

Below, King Xuanwu was shaken, but he still endured the anger in his heart and retreated.

Behind them, all the ministers looked at each other and sneered in their hearts.

It seems that King Xuanwu still refuses to give up and wants to force the legitimate son of the Li family to show his weakness. Unfortunately, the matter is a foregone conclusion. It will be difficult to turn around!

After this incident, King Xuanwu and the third prince will have to temper their sharpness in a short period of time.

Professor Li.

Emperor Shang dismissed Queen Xuanwu. In the middle of the hall, Lu Siqing turned around, looked at the young man behind him, and said with a gentle expression, Your Majesty called you into the hall because he wanted to ask you about being ambushed by the Blackwater Army. Can you tell the whole story carefully?

Let me say it again, don't be afraid or worry about anything, His Majesty will make the decision for you.

Thank you, Mr. Lu, and thank you, Your Majesty.

Li Ziye bowed to both of them, and then said in a calm tone, before the New Year, my father was assassinated and poisoned. On the way back to Yuzhou City, the common people encountered assassinations one after another.

With everyone watching, Li Ziye explained in detail what happened on the way back to Yuzhou City.

In the hall, the ministers had heard about the assassination of the young man in front of them several times, and they did not look too surprised.

The Li family tree was in trouble, and there were many people who wanted to bring down the Li family. At that time, the situation of the Li family was that the head of the Li family was poisoned. If something happened to the legitimate son of the Li family again, the entire Li family would be in chaos.

While Li Ziye was talking about what happened at that time, he couldn't help but sneered in his heart as he looked at the officials.

He could be sure that the people who attacked him in the first place were several among the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty.

These old foxes are eager for something to happen to the Li family.

Black armor, long bow, heavy shield?

In the middle of the hall, when Lu Siqing heard the boy from the Li family talking about the equipment carried by the Blackwater Army, he looked angry, looked at the Jiuyou King in front of him, and said angrily, the Jiuyou King is just for suppressing bandits, he needs to be equipped with long bows and

Heavy shield? This is obviously prepared to deal with martial arts masters!

In front of the ministers, King Jiuyou heard Lu Siqing's question and said calmly. According to the intelligence report, the bandits did have some martial arts experts who used long bows and heavy shields, which was reasonable.

Behind the scenes, the ministers looked at each other in shock after hearing King Jiuyou's explanation. Before, if there was even a trace of doubt, this matter was a misunderstanding. Now, there is no longer any doubt.

King Jiuyou wants to kill the legitimate son of the Li family.

The heavy shield soldiers of the Blackwater Army will not be dispatched easily, and the excuse of suppressing bandits is really not good.

But, why did King Jiuyou want to kill the legitimate son of the Li family?

There should be no intersection between King Jiuyou and the Li family, let alone any grudges.

Is it possible?

Thinking of this, the ministers looked at the Shang Emperor in the main hall and were shocked.

Does your Majesty want to kill this legitimate son of the Li family?

King Jiuyou has always only obeyed His Majesty's orders. Only this reason can explain why King Jiuyou wanted to take action against the legitimate son of the Li family.

Not right either.

After a brief moment, the ministers gave up this idea.

If Your Majesty wanted to kill the Li family's legitimate son, he would not use this method. He would send out several royal servants to do the job. Not only would he have greater certainty, but he would also be able to avoid telling the truth. It was far better than mobilizing the Blackwater Army to set up an ambush.

This matter must be King Jiuyou's own decision, and His Majesty probably didn't know about it before.

In the main hall, the thoughts of each minister kept flashing through their minds, wondering what the matter was going on.

Maybe, it's really a misunderstanding.

When the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were thinking, Li Ziye spoke, and his words startled everyone.

The admonishing minister Zhang Qizheng looked shocked when he heard what the young man in front of him said, and said anxiously, "Boy, your Majesty is making the decision for you. What are you afraid of? Don't you want to seek justice for yourself?"

In the main hall, all the ministers looked at each other, their eyes became complicated, but they were not too surprised.

This boy from the Li family is a smart man. He knows that King Jiuyou can't afford to offend him, so he wants to make a big deal out of a big deal.

In front of the ministers, King Jiuyou also showed a sneer on his lips.

He seemed to have a high regard for the legitimate son of the Li family.

At this moment, Tao Yaoyao and Mu Bai were the only two people in the entire Fengtian Hall. Looking at the young man in the middle of the hall, they felt something was wrong.

strangeness.

This guy is definitely not someone who is willing to bow his head easily.
Chapter completed!
