On the throne, King Dali glanced at Zhong Chuyun, with an inexplicable look in his eyes.
"Marquis Taiping, I know that you have a feud with Marquis Pingluan, but what happened in Potian City has damaged the state of our Dali Kingdom. Could it be that the feud between you and Marquis Pingluan has exceeded the glory of the country?"
Zhong Chuyun's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, you are joking. Naturally, I put the glory of the kingdom first. As for what I just said, it was just out of concern for quelling the chaos."
As soon as Zhong Chuyun said these words, everyone sitting at the table cast disdainful glances at him.
It is no longer a secret in the Dali Kingdom that the Taiping Marquis is at peace with the Luanhou Marquis, and even a three-year-old child knows it.
If Zhong Chuyun wanted Wanyan Xiarong to die and they still believed it, as for caring or anything else, it was all lies.
King Dali obviously understood this. He took a deep look at Zhong Chuyun, and then swept his eyes across the audience.
"Do you still remember Xu Nantian?" King Dali suddenly asked.
When everyone heard this, they were all stunned for a moment, and then nodded.
The former Nantianhou was one of the three great princes and the one with the most military exploits among the princes of the Dali Kingdom.
Although his name was rarely mentioned in the court because he was deposed from the throne, most of the people present were old acquaintances of Xu Nantian, and of course they remembered Xu Nantian's name.
At this time, Zhenxi Hou Li Yu suddenly said: "Your Majesty, isn't Xu Nantian crazy because of the loss of his beloved son? He has been deprived of his title, why do you suddenly mention him?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, as far as I know, Xu Nantian has been in Shanhe City, the territory of Marquis Tieya, since he went crazy. Except for the occasional visit to Baizhan City in Qiulin, he rarely goes anywhere else."
The speaker was Andinghou Andonglu, another relatively powerful prince among the three major princes.
At this time, someone looked at Marquis Tieya, who had been sitting silently at the table, and said, "Marquis Tieya, Xu Nantian lives in your territory. Please tell us about Xu Nantian's situation."
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, a look of helplessness flashed across Tie Yahou's eyes, and he could only stand up and look at everyone.
"Xu Nantian is often crazy. As long as he doesn't cause trouble, I rarely pay attention to him. I only know that he often goes to Baizhan City. You should all know that he and Baizhanhou Qiulin are sworn brothers."
Everyone nodded, of course they knew this.
At this time, King Dali coughed, and everyone immediately became quiet.
Seeing that everyone became quiet, King Dali continued: "Do you know that this time when Bai Zhanhou came to the palace, he brought Xu Nantian with him?"
King Dali's words were like a bomb, causing everyone below to explode instantly.
"What! Xu Nantian is here too?"
"Isn't he crazy? Bai Zhanhou is also true. Why are you bringing a madman here?"
"Yes, Bai Zhanhou is usually a very safe person. How come today, hey!"
Somewhere in the crowd, the Twenty-Two Prince and several of his brothers were also sitting at the table. At this time, he looked at the scene in front of him with a playful smile in his eyes.
From the conversation of these people just now, he could tell that these people were very repulsive to Xu Nantian from the bottom of their hearts.
Among the many princes, only Taiping Hou Zhong Chuyun, who had been a good friend of Xu Nantian, did not speak.
The Twenty-Two Prince said with a sneer on his lips.
"Zhang Yifeng, you want to take back everything that belongs to Xu Nantian, but I won't let you do it!"
At this time, King Dali waved his hand again, suppressed the discussion of everyone, and said in a deep voice: "This time, Bai Zhanhou and Xu Nantian came together to raise an army to investigate the crime."
Raise troops to investigate?
After hearing the king's words, everyone was stunned for a moment.
Li Yu, the Marquis of Zhenxi, snorted coldly and said angrily: "Who does he, Marquis Baizhan, think he is? Dare he come to the palace to raise an army to question his crimes? I, Li Yu, will be the first to refuse!"
At this time, Marquis Anding also said from the side: "With An here, I want to see how Qiulin raises an army to ask for the crime! Whose crime is he asking for?"
The other princes glanced at the two of them, and their expressions changed, but no one stood up to speak again.
There was no sadness or joy in King Dali's eyes. He glanced at the twenty-two princes and said, "Come and tell them."
"Yes, father."
The Twenty-Two Prince stood up and looked at everyone present.
"You may not know yet that Bai Zhanhou's visit to the palace this time was actually not his own idea, but was instigated by others to seek justice for Xu Nantian."
After hearing the words of the Twenty-Two Prince, the expressions of several people in the crowd changed unnaturally, including the Marquis of Zhenxi, Li Yu, and the Marquis of Anding, Andong Lu, who had just spoken.
Li Yu's expression changed, and he asked: "Your Highness, the kingdom has treated Xu Nantian well, so what kind of justice does he come to ask for? Moreover, you just said that someone instigated Bai Zhanhou, who is that person?"
The Twenty-Two Prince sighed and said in a deep voice: "You all don't know, Xu Nantian has adopted an adopted son named Zhang Yifeng. Zhang Yifeng has ruthless methods and a surly personality. He is the Bai Zhanhou who he instigated."
Having said this, the Twenty-Two Prince paused and continued: "Everyone should know that the reason why Xu Nantian lost his title was because he was crazy. It is impossible for the kingdom to allow a madman to become a prince."
"But from Zhang Yifeng's point of view, it was the kingdom that failed Xu Nantian. It was my father and everyone here who made Xu Nantian lose his title. He is here to recover everything he lost from Xu Nantian."
If Zhang Yifeng were here, he would definitely sneer at what the Twenty-Two Prince just said.
Because from the beginning to the end, the Twenty-Two Princes were confusing right and wrong and deliberately inciting everyone's emotions.
Sure enough, as soon as the Twenty-Two Prince finished speaking, some people could no longer sit still.
Li Yu, the Marquis of Zhenxi, snorted coldly and said angrily: "Humph, Xu Nantian was deprived of his position. He has no one to blame but himself. If Zhang Yifeng dares to make trouble, the knife in my hand will not be polite!"
"The era that belongs to Xu Nantian has passed. It would be fine if he is safe and sound, but if he wants to return to his title of vassal, well, it depends on whether I, Antonlu, agree or not."
Among the princes present, the one who least expected Xu Nantian to resume his position, except for Zhenxi Marquis Li Yu, was him.
At the scene, except for Taiping Hou Zhong Chuyun who did not speak, the other princes expressed their opinions one after another.
Zhang Yifeng's desire to return the throne for Xu Nantian has already offended their interests!
Just as everyone was arguing, a sound of footsteps came from the door of Zijin Palace, and everyone looked over.
