This matter soon spread to all the officials, big and small. When they saw it, the prince directly pulled out Lao Zhongtang's head.

It's half joy and half sadness. Some people can become stronger through this, while others can shrink because of it. More importantly, the vacancies in positions mean that someone else has to take over, and the competition between the two sides becomes more intense.

When the Wu family heard the news, they couldn't help but laugh: "It has to be our prince. If it's not the prince, this old guy will have to keep his position to frustrate us for a long time!"

Wu Renqun's uncle, aunt, and cousins ​​are all officials now, and they belong to Wu Shihua's faction. Although they have no chance to appear in the big government affairs, they are also important among the subordinate officials outside the government. This time Wu Renqun kidnapped,

Their hearts were in their throats.

As for Wu Renqun, he also heard the news. Since he was having dinner with the emperor, he smiled very reservedly.

At the royal dinner on the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, all the royal relatives and the royal families were present. There were not even a hundred but eighty in number. All kinds of princes, old princes, and old princesses, big and small, were there.

Wu Renqun followed the princess and called a bunch of strangers, uncles, aunts, uncles, and even Shigong. There were also officials who were married to the royal family, and Wu Renqun had to call them one by one.

.

Hearing that Lao Zhongtang's head was knocked off, the emperor stood up from his chair in fright. Everyone in the audience was stunned. No wonder he couldn't come to today's dinner. It was also heard that the King of Zhennan was driving away with Lao Zhongtang's head.

Come here, no one in the audience dared to speak for a moment.

The princess saw Wu Renqun snickering there and nudged him with her elbow: "Don't laugh out loud. Lao Zhongtang is the third uncle's father."

Wu Renqun shook his head in disbelief: "With Wang Jie here, what are you afraid of? Who among the people in the room dares to challenge Wang Jie? Unless they take out a nuclear fission bomb and bomb it at Wang Jie."

The emperor asked the guards outside: "How far is the prince from the palace?"

"The prince said he will be there in ten minutes!"

"Your Majesty, this boy Wang Jie, relying on his status as a prince and being lawless, actually dares to kill a high-ranking official among the royal officials without asking for any instructions. He has no law. This kind of person should be removed from his position, otherwise this position will...

I am so uneasy!"

"Yes, I am uneasy. I will behead if I am not able to do anything. Let me ask you, starting from the emperor, for several dynasties and generations, which official's death is not justified and the bones are intact. If the death is unclear, I will not be in this position."

Sit down!"

"Yes, I won't do it!"

For a while, there was chaos. Only the officials from Wu Shihua's side were sitting safely in their seats. There was such a good thing. If these people collectively dismissed their offices, then their own faction could just wait for the little prince to take the throne.

When the eldest prince saw that everyone in his group was arguing, he was not angry. Instead, he shouted: "My lords, please be patient. King Zhennan is King Zhennan after all. He needs to take responsibility for his actions. Since he

He's coming soon, why don't you wait until he comes before asking him what the reason was for letting him kill Lao Zhongtang."

When everyone heard this, they all sat down: "Okay, he is coming soon anyway. Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for us. The King of Zhennan can't explain why. How can anyone dare to be an official?"

...

As a relative of the royal family, Wu Renqun sat among the royal family, and the outer circle was surrounded by officials. There seemed to be more people in the inner circle than in the outer circle, but it was Wu Renqun who stood out.

For no other reason than because everyone knew that this matter was inseparable from the kidnapping of Wu Renqun. Among the many expressions, Wu Renqun's smile was so wide that his gums were exposed.

If we really want to compete, Wang Jie will still be the second prince.

Not long after, a voice came from outside: "The King of Zhennan has arrived!"

Wang Jie was seen riding on Kong's back and slowly walked into the hall, holding Lao Zhongtang's head with wide eyes in one hand. The first thing everyone saw was not Lao Zhongtang's head, but Kong's head under Wang Jie.

.

A product of the laboratory?

Wang Jie jumped off Kong's back, raised his hands and said with a smile: "I'm late, I wonder if there is a place for me?"

"Here, here!" Wu Renqun waved his hand, indicating that there was a seat next to him.

Wang Jie smiled: "Emperor, Happy New Year."

The emperor nodded: "Happy New Year, Your Majesty!"

Wang Jie just held Lao Zhongtang's head and sat next to Wu Renqun. Wu Renqun took one look at the head and was a little scared. He turned his face and did not dare to look further.

The princess on the side didn't dare to look at it, and held Wu Renqun's hand tightly. Wang Jie put his head at his feet and looked around: "Why are there no music players? Why don't everyone talk? It's so quiet."

Great atmosphere!”

None of the officials who were shouting underground dared to speak at this time. They were all looking at the emperor and the eldest prince. Forget the emperor, others only knew that Wang Jie was a prince and a member of the immortal family, but the emperor knew Wang Jie's other identities.

The eldest prince thought about it for a long time, stood up and said: "The maid will continue playing music, father, everyone is here!"

The princess's third uncle, the son of Lao Zhongtang, glanced at his father's head and immediately turned away, daring not to look again. The old man's face was even pale with anger, but he did not dare to make a sound.

No matter how angry he was just now, he was suppressed when he saw Wang Jie in person. His father would have to die in Wang Jie's hands, so how could he dare to jump out?

The emperor nodded like a zombie: "My dear friends and elders, drink and drink!"

"Hey, thank you, Your Majesty!"

The atmosphere suddenly became very strange. Everyone had to pretend to be harmonious. The people on the eldest prince's side laughed or cried. Although the little prince was proud, he was also very afraid of the King of Zhennan, such a powerful figure.

, will assist the government in the future, won’t these people below dare not breathe?

Many people who ate this meal felt very uncomfortable and kept pretending to be stupid to eat. This matter was over, and the emperor would naturally give everyone an explanation. If Wang Jie suddenly mentioned Lao Zhongtang, then he would have to

Damn these old guys, how tough they were before, they are so soft now.

The eldest prince, who had just said that he wanted to ask Wang Jie for a reason, was also immersed in eating.

The little prince suddenly stood up and said: "Second brother, I'd like to toast you for success in your studies!"

Hearing the sound, Wang Jie stood up and smiled: "I also wish my third brother to grow taller and grow up in the new year!"

The emperor laughed and hoped that Wang Jie would stop mentioning the matter of Lao Zhongtang and give him face as the emperor.

Until the end of the meal, Wang Jie never mentioned Lao Zhongtang. Only after the New Year dinner, when everyone went to the palace to appreciate the plum blossoms, Wang Jie kicked his head away because it was blocking the way, which shocked everyone.
