"Your Highness, I have already discussed the appointment of a teaching team to the north..."
In the east hall of Jinshen Hall, the discussion is still going on.
Fortunately, Zhao Yanxun gave Minister Ji a seat, otherwise, it would have been tiring to stand and reply for more than half an hour.
Chen Anmin spoke in detail, and several ministers present listened attentively. Only Zhao Yanxun was distracted at the moment.
With system awareness turned on, he already knew someone was coming outside.
A few moments later, the young eunuch Wang Jin appeared outside the east side hall. Seeing this, Huo An carefully walked out of the hall and listened to the little eunuch's report.
Immediately afterwards, Huo An turned around and returned to the hall, bent his waist and reported softly: "Your Majesty...the three imperial guards are here, waiting outside the hall!"
"Tell them to wait in the west wing!"
"yes!"
After receiving the king's order, Huo An came to the east side hall to convey the message. The discussion in the hall was still going on.
"Take people to the west wing!"
"Yes!" Wang Jin replied.
Wang Jin then turned around and left, walked out of the gate of Jinshen Palace and stood still, looking at the three people at the foot of the steps.
"You three follow me!"
In the Jinshen Hall, he was a slave, but after leaving the main hall, Wang Jin represented King Yong, so he naturally had to put on airs.
Zhou Qing and the others went up the steps, each of them extremely careful at the moment.
When they entered the palace, they were actually not so nervous.
But as they walked further inside and saw the palace walls and halls, their hearts beat faster and everything was involuntarily.
The two stepped into the main hall and were taken outside the west side hall by Wang Jin.
"Go in, the prince is really discussing something, you guys just wait here!"
Zhou Qing and the others entered the hall and saw that the main seat in the north was empty, with a plaque reading "Tolerance means greatness" hanging above it.
In the hall, there were two eunuchs waiting with their heads down, ignoring the three people from Zhou Qing who entered the hall, as if they did not exist at all.
Being left out here, Zhou Qing and the others were at a loss as to what to do, as if they were as frightened as when they entered the palace to meet the Holy Spirit.
Of course, they had experienced battles for a long time and quickly adjusted their mentality.
And the sound of discussions in the east side hall gradually reached their ears.
A young voice was heard saying: "Send a teaching team to the north and follow your own methods. This way... you can also determine whether Ding Hong is loyal or not!"
"It's true that if he is really loyal, he shouldn't obstruct the teaching team!"
Teaching team? It’s just a thing? What’s its use? Zhou Qing and the others were a little confused.
Just listening to the proceedings like this, time passed slowly. After almost twenty minutes, the proceedings in the east side hall ended.
"I'll take my leave..."
Listening to the sound of everyone leaving, Zhou Qing and the others knew that they were about to meet King Yong, and their calm mood began to get excited again.
A few breaths later, there were footsteps approaching, and Zhou Qing and others knew that it was Zhao Yanxun who was coming.
"Your Majesty is here!"
Hearing the eunuch's reminder, Zhou Qing and the others quickly knelt on the ground, even hitting their heads on the floor.
When Zhao Yanxun stepped into the west wing, he only saw three people lying on the ground with their buttocks stuck out.
Zhou Qing and the others kowtowed quickly and said: "The guilty minister kowtows to the prince!"
Although they were surrendered ministers, after a few days of observation, they were convinced by everything about Longyou, and this was all the result of Zhao Yanxun, so they were convinced of Zhao Yanxun.
Entering the main hall, Zhao Yanxun was not in a hurry to speak, but walked around the three people.
There is no doubt that this move brought great pressure to these three people. King Yong's words could determine their life and death, so they could not help but be disrespectful.
"Someone advised me to kill you..."
Even Zhou Qing, who has the toughest temper, felt a chill down his back and broke into a cold sweat when he heard Zhao Yanxun's sudden words.
Perhaps originally, they could accept death as home because they had nothing to lose, not even hope for the future.
But now that they have arrived in Longyou and know more news, not only can they live well, they can even return to their hometown to see their relatives...
At this time, everyone will cherish their lives.
"You led your troops to invade the south and caused many people to die in Yanfeng County, all of whom were Gu's people..."
The three people on the ground were extremely worried, but they didn't know how to defend themselves at this moment.
If they were calmer, they would understand that if they really wanted to kill them, so many things would have to be done. But the crux of the problem is that it is difficult for people to stay calm most of the time.
"In order to kill you or not, I'm going through a lot of trouble!"
The voice came from behind, and Zhao Yanxun went around to the back at this moment.
Gritting his teeth, Pang Guoxing said: "I am guilty and I am willing to die!"
Cai Yongkun followed up and said: "I am the same, I just hope that it will not be difficult for the prince!"
When it comes to talking about this, Zhou Qing can only say this.
"So, you are quite upright, and quite generous and self-sacrificing..."
After saying this, Zhao Yanxun walked back to the throne, turned around and looked at the three people on the ground, and said in a serious tone: "I will not forgive your sins..."
Hearing this, the three of them suddenly felt cold. Are they really going to die today? This was something they didn't expect at all.
But then, Zhao Yanxun said: "But I will give you the opportunity to redeem your merits. Next, the Privy Council will arrange errands for you. I hope you will do it with all your heart!"
After hearing this, Zhou Qing and the other three breathed a sigh of relief, their fate was saved.
With just a few words, the three of them were frightened, and the three of them were even more in awe of Zhao Yanxun.
Just listen to Cai Yongkun reply: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness..."
"Everyone get up!"
"yes!"
The three of them stood up. Although they were extremely curious about Zhao Yanxun, no one dared to raise their heads to look.
"The king always makes clear rewards and punishments. As long as you are loyal to the king, you will never be short of what is yours, and you don't have to look down on yourselves because of your status as a surrendered general!"
Speaking of this, Zhao Yanxun said in a serious tone: "I am sincere to you, and I hope you will not betray my sincerity!"
To be honest, Zhao Yanxun's last two sentences were sincere enough and moved Zhou Qing and the others.
At this moment, Zhou Qing didn't care about any etiquette. He raised his head and said: "Your Majesty is so respectful, and I will leave this life to you... to your Majesty!"
Although this is a vernacular, it expresses his heart directly, and Zhou Qing can be said to be tough.
"Good... very good!"
Zhao Yanxun looked at Zhou Qing with a smile on his face and said: "You go back, I am waiting for the news of your meritorious service!"
Is this the end? Zhou Qing and the three of them were confused.
After ensuring that they heard correctly, Zhou and Qing bowed and replied: "I'll take my leave..."
"Go!" Zhao Yanxun waved his hand.
Listening to the content and tone of what these three people said, Zhao Yanxun knew that they were convinced and presumably willing to do things for him.
In this case, there is nothing more to say, just hammer it out.
To Zhao Yanxun, this was a trivial matter, but in the hearts of the three people of Zhou and Qing, it was as heavy as Mount Tai.
It wasn't until they walked out of Yong'an Gate that the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, which shows how stressed they were in Jinshen Hall just now.
Just listen to Pang Guoxing say: "Anyway, the most difficult level has been passed!"
Zhou Qing couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The power of King Yong is like thunder, making people tremble and walk on thin ice!"
On this point, the other two people had absolutely no objection.
Many people only thought that King Yong was being looked down upon at a young age and that he was the most deadly opponent. However, people like Xu Longsheng didn't understand yet.
After the three of them were silent for a while, Cai Yongkun said: "The prince said that the Privy Council will have errands to arrange, why don't we go and take a look now?"
