Chapter 118

Mi Xiong slept very late last night. Recently, Lu State sent two beauties on the eastern islands. Unlike the beauties in Dongshenzhou, it has a very exotic style, which made Mi Xiong fascinated and sing every night.

Today is not the time for the grand dynasty, so Mi Xiong naturally would not get up so early. The eunuchs in the palace knew the master's habits. Even the Chu Yu Pavilion, which controls the Chu State's intelligence system, would not report it if it was not a very urgent and important matter.

Li Yunyi was killed last night, which was a big deal. According to normal circumstances, Chu Yu Pavilion should have reported Mi Xiong last night. But Liao Zhuo, the first emperor of Chu Yu Pavilion, knew very well what this Majesty was doing recently. If he went to report, he would definitely be scolded, so he chose not to report it.

Prison Liao came here early this morning. He did not ask the eunuch to wake up Mi Xiong, but waited outside honestly. He knew that he would not be calm today, and Mi Xiong would definitely summon him, so he came as soon as possible, waiting for Mi Xiong to summon him.

Half an hour later, Zhuge Jian and the others arrived, entered the Chu Emperor Palace, and jointly requested to pay homage to Mi Xiong.

The envoy of the seven countries is not the envoy of the seven countries. They are famous figures in all the major vassal states. If it were just one, it might not be very important. The seven came together, and the eunuchs on duty did not dare to be careless and reported to the eunuch General Manager Yu.

Master Yu knew that this matter could not be delayed, so he could only enter the imperial palace and whispered outside the dragon tent: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty~"

Mi Xiong was sleeping peacefully. After being woken up, his expression suddenly became dark. He pushed the two island beauties around him away and asked coldly, "What's the matter?"

Eunuch Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, Zhuge Jian of Jingguo, Marquis of Lu Guan, King Liang of Tengguo, Princess Yunfei of Yeguo, and envoys from the seven countries of Ningguo Jiaoguo Chen of Chen."

Mi Xiong rubbed his face, sat up, and asked in confusion: "Envoys from the Seven Kingdoms? Why do they want to see me?"

Eunuch Yu paused and said, "It seems that because the Regent of Jing Kingdom was assassinated, the specific slaves were not particularly clear. Liao Shouzun was waiting outside the hall. Why would His Majesty summon him to ask?"

"The Regent of Jingguo was assassinated?"

Mi Xiong lost sleepiness. He opened the dragon tent and walked out barefoot, asking, "It's that Li Hongtu's son? That disabled? Was assassinated? When did it happen? Xuan Liao Prison came in."

"Here!"

Eunuch Yu hurriedly stepped back. Mi Xiong asked the palace maid to wear him for a while and walked out of the outer hall. Prison Liao came in outside. Seeing Mi Xiong, he quickly knelt down and saluted, "See Your Majesty."

"Why didn't the matter of the regent of Jingguo not be reported in time?" Mi Xiong said angrily.

"It happened last night!"

Liao Zhuo replied: "This matter is a bit strange. Your Majesty has fallen asleep. In addition, I want to investigate, but I am not shocked. Moreover, the person is dead. Anyway, the matter needs to be handled today. Your Majesty's dragon body is important, so I did not come to disturb Your Majesty in the middle of the night."

Mi Xiong's expression slightly improved and said, "How to tell me the specific situation? Has the assassin found it?"

"This is the thing. Yesterday, Li Yunyi visited several dukes and finally returned to Sifang Hall..."

Liao Zhuo briefly explained the matter and finally added: "The identity of the assassin is still being investigated. He is a master. He covered his face when he was assassinated and left with one blow. No clues have been found yet. There are only so many masters in the city. Without His Majesty's permission, the ministers dare not investigate with great fanfare. After all, the only one who died was a regent of a third-class vassal state."

Mi Xiong narrowed his eyes slightly. He heard the voice outside Liao Zhuo's words. Every master in the city has a background. If this master is used, it will move a large force. Compared with a regent of a third-class vassal state, the large force of Chu Jing is naturally more important.

For example, what if the master is found out that he belongs to Sima Yue’s family? Could it be that because of a third-class vassal state, the regent of Sima Yue?

Mi Xiong has no ambitions now, just hopes that his life will be more stable. As long as he does not touch the bottom line, he will not bother with small matters. If he moves the super power of Nan Chu, it will cause the dynasty to fall into turmoil and his comfortable life will come to an end.

After pondering for a moment, he asked, "What is the situation with the envoys of the Seven Kingdoms outside?"

Liao Zhuo replied: "Li Yunyi is dead, their lips are dead, and their teeth are cold. They are a little worried. They probably came to find His Majesty to make the decision."

“Oh~”

Mi Xiong was no longer interested. He waved his hand and said to Eunuch Yu, "Go and tell them, and I will not see them any longer. I already know what they ask for. Let them go back with peace of mind, and I will send someone to deal with it."

"Another order is passed!"

Mi Xiong thought for a while and said, "Let Zhu Gui and the others discuss with the Ministry of Justice, draft a charter, suppress the affairs of Jing State, and appease the major vassal states. If there is a chaos, I will ask him."

"Here!"

When Eunuch Yu went out, Mi Xiong stood up, yawned, and waved his hand: "Prison Liao, please go down, pay attention to monitoring the whole city, and don't make trouble."

"Here~"

Liao Zhuo bowed and was about to retreat. Just as he had just walked to the hall gate, Yu Eunuch outside hurriedly walked in and called Mi Xiong who was about to enter the inner hall: "Your Majesty, more than 50 officials from the outer hall have come to ask for your Majesty to meet you. The heads are He Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and the Left Minister of War."

"Um?"

Mi Xiong had just felt a little sleepy and was awakened again. He asked angrily: "Why do they meet the saint?"

Mi Xiong has already set rules in recent years. Except for the Grand Court meeting, these officials usually look for Zhu Gui and Sima Yue and Yang Qiu when they have any problems. Generally, they don’t come to him directly because they don’t have so many troubles. Dozens of officials jointly asked for a meeting, and the leader is still a Shangshu. This is the first time such a thing has happened in recent years.

Eunuch Yu smiled bitterly and bowed: "It should be Li Yunyi's business."

"It's strange!"

Mi Xiong frowned and smelled an unusual smell. He said in confusion: "A little third-class vassal state has such great energy? Forget the envoys of the seven countries, I have dozens of my ministers, too?"

"Prison Liao!"

Although Mi Xiong has been greedy for comfort and enjoyment in recent years, he is not a fool. His eyes swept towards Liao Zhuo like lightning and said in a deep voice: "Did you hide something from me?"

"Puuu~"

Liao Yukong knelt down quickly, and Mi Xiong's words became a bit heavy. Liao Yukong knew very well that Chu Yuge was Mi Xiong's eyes and ears. Once Mi Xiong had doubts about him, his position would be over.

He quickly kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am wronged. Even if I give you ten thousand courage, I dare not hide it from Your Majesty."

Seeing Liao Zhuo's fearful look, Mi Xiong's expression looked a little better. He thought for a while and said, "I sent an order to ask the dozens of officials outside to wait outside the imperial study room, and let the envoys of the seven countries go to wait outside the imperial study room. I was a little curious about changing clothes for me. What is strange about this regent of Jing Kingdom? He alarmed so many important officials?"

Half an hour later, the imperial study room was full of people, and dozens of ministers and Zhuge Jian and others came in.

After Mi Xiong came in, everyone saluted. Mi Xiong glanced at the Minister of Rites and others, and finally his eyes fell on Zhuge Jian. He said, "Zhuge Jian, you and others jointly asked for a meeting, what's the matter?"

Jingguo is a first-class vassal state, and Zhuge Jian is also a popular prince, and he has great hope of ascension to the throne. His status is almost the highest among these envoys. He went out and bowed: "Report to Your Majesty, we came for the assassination of Li Yunyi, the regent of Jingguo, last night. Your Majesty, although Li Yunyi was the regent, came on behalf of Jingguo. He was in Chujing and was still in the Sifang Pavilion and was openly assassinated. Such matters are extremely bad, and we empathize with them. Now we don't know whether Chujing is safe? Are we fish on the chopping board? We can let the slaughter! So we want to ask Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate this matter and find the real murderer to safeguard the people of the world."

Zhuge Jian's words were a bit heavy. If it were a minister of Nan Chu, he would never dare to speak like this. Zhuge Jian relied on his assassination of the Jingguo and the envoys of the six countries, and deliberately said it more heavily to attract Mi Xiong's attention.

"snort!"

Mi Xiong showed anger on his face, and snorted coldly and said, "Zhuge Jian, are you implicitly mocking me that I can't control Chu Jing? I can't even protect your safety?"

"I don't dare."

Zhuge Jian quickly knelt down and said, "I was frightened last night and was mentally ill. I said the wrong thing. Please punish him."

Lu Guanhou looked at each other, all knelt down, and said in unison: "Please investigate this matter thoroughly, find the real murderer, bring it to justice, and safeguard all the people."

"alright!"

Mi Xiong waved his hand with a gloomy face and said, "I understand this, you guys go down first."

Zhuge Jian and the others looked at each other for a few times, but they didn't say anything. They all knelt down and bowed and bowed. They said everything they should say and did everything they should do. Although Mi Xiong did not express his opinion, they would definitely give them an answer, and it depends on whether Mi Xiong tried his best to find the real murderer or throw out a scapegoat.

Zhuge Jianlu Guanhou and the others retreated, and Mi Xiong looked at the Minister of Rites and the Left Minister of War and others. He asked with a bad expression: "Tell me, what are you doing?"

The Minister of Rites is very old, but he is thin and has a bright look. He stood up and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am also here for Li Yunyi. Li Yunyi was assassinated in the Sifang Pavilion. The impact of this matter was extremely bad. The envoys of the countries were terrified just now. Not only the major vassal states, but thousands of people in the entire Chu capital are talking about this matter today. It is estimated that it will be spread throughout the entire Nanchu capital. At that time, the situation and the impact will be greater. The regent of a third-class vassal state can be assassinated at will. This assassin is crazy and lawless. This is a provocation to the laws of Southern Chu and a provocation to the imperial power. This is a matter of shaking the foundation of the country. Please ask Your Majesty to immediately order a thorough investigation of the matter, find out the real culprit, and to calm the court and safe the people."

"We'll discuss it!"

The ministers stood up one by one, bowed to express their agreement. The dozens of officials had the same attitude, that is, to thoroughly investigate the matter and find the real murderer.
