2140

In the early morning, the Great Conquest Palace and the Mingyuan Hall.

Officials went to court one after another, and the ones walking in front were King Su Qi, the uncle Luo Beiwang and others.

The eldest prince Su Mo was also left in the imperial city because of the disappearance of Prince Su Yun, and walked with several princes with good relationships.

However, what made all the civil and military officials in the court even more strange was that Tu Yue, the commander-in-chief of the Shadow Guard, who rarely appeared on the surface and even rarely went to court, actually walked among the officials in a serious official uniform.

Tu Yue was like a shadow, low-key, silent, and seemed inconspicuous, but it made all the officials in the court have to treat them with caution.

Tu Yue didn't say hello to anyone, and few people dared to talk to Tu Yue on their own initiative.

When the officials of the court stood up, the eunuchs shouted, "Your Majesty is here." The ministers knelt down one after another, shouting long live.

Emperor Mingde Su Gan was wearing a dark golden wind pattern imperial robe, and walked up to the hall with a majestic look on his face, waved his hand, "Let's be calm..."

"Long live thanks!"

Su Gan glanced at the ministers present, and when his eyes fell on Tu Yue, he flashed slightly and said, "My dear friends, who can report it?"

The uncle Luo Beiwang stood up, "Your Majesty, the prince has been missing for a long time and has not found his whereabouts yet. I think that more people should be sent to investigate more suspects!"

Su Gan frowned and said, "I have given all my powers to Lord Tu to investigate this matter. As the crown prince of the country, he left the palace for danger without authorization. Even if he comes back, I will cure him for good crime!"

When Luo Beiwang heard this, his face looked a little uneasy and he quickly retreated.

The eldest prince Su Mo stepped forward and said, "Father, my son learned in the past two days that as soon as the northern border was in spring, the wilderness of Arguna and Borkin had already started fighting again.

The Barbarian King Buchahar confirmed that he had left the Barbarian King Hall for more than half a year and was missing.

The leaders of the tribes of the two tribes have rebelled and are accelerating the competition for war preparations.

The two wild tribes fought in an internal struggle, which made us suffer the people in the northern border.

Although Zhenbei Hou had returned to Beiming City early to command the barbarian army, the battle situation was chaotic and it was the time to use people.

My son has been in the northern border for many years. Now I am concerned about my fellow soldiers and local people in the northern border. I hope my father will be able to make me go to the northern border again and guard the border for the great expedition!"

Luo Beiwang and other groups of officials from the Prince's Sect couldn't help but look at Su Mo with complicated eyes.

Now that the prince is not here, the eldest prince is undoubtedly taking advantage of the situation to rise.

At this time, what he was most worried about was naturally to be sent to the northern border again and stay away from the center of power.

But Su Mo did not mention the rise to power, but instead proposed to return to the northern border again. This move was naturally "retreat to advance."

He is so generous and selfless. If the emperor still sends him to the northern border, wouldn’t he be too partial and too disrespectful to take this eldest son seriously?

What's more, the prince's disappearance has won the support of many old ministers, so it is even more impossible to send him to the northern border casually.

Luo Beiwang and other groups of officials from the Prince's Division all looked ugly and felt something was wrong.

Emperor Mingde looked at Su Mo with a smile and said, "Is that right... OK, I am so worried about the country and the people, I am worthy of being my eldest son.

Since you want to go to the northern border so much, I will fulfill your wishes. Let’s set off today and return to Zhenbei Army to obey the teachings of Zhenbei Hou!”

"ah?"

Su Mo, who had just looked sincere, was briefly confused and looked up at "father" with an incredible look.

Not only him, but also all the civil and military officials in the court were shocked!

Your Majesty, you don't play according to common sense!?

Luo Beiwang looked happy and quickly stood up and bowed: "Your Majesty is really a wise ruler who loves the people as much as his son. The prince is missing and he is willing to send the eldest prince to the northern border. I will admire you!"

"Your Majesty is wise!!" Many officials immediately shouted.

Su Mo's face was gloomy and calm. The mute ate coptis chinensis, and he couldn't say anything about his pain. His scalp was blown up!

But he still pretended to thank him happily: "Thank you for your permission! My son must go to the northern border and continue to study humbly with the Marquis of Zhenbei!"

Emperor Mingde waved his hand and signaled that Su Mo could retreat. Then he said, "My dear friends, do you have other important things?"

Seeing that no one spoke to the ministers, Su Gan continued: "You all know that I was assassinated by an assassin a year ago. Fortunately, the Supreme Emperor took action and was safe and sound.

But because of the assassination, the Supreme Emperor asked me to go with him to the imperial tomb and practice in seclusion for a period of time."

When the ministers heard this, they all looked surprised.

"Your Majesty, the court cannot be without you," an old minister hurriedly stepped out.

Emperor Mingde waved his hand, "Oh, how can I ignore the will of the Supreme Emperor? Moreover, my cultivation level is indeed about to break through recently. I also want to take this opportunity to practice well with the Supreme Emperor.

As for the affairs of the court, during my retreat, I will leave it to the King of Qi to handle it, commander-in-chief Tu, and assist..."

When all the civil and military officials heard this, they finally understood why Tu Yue would attend court.

The emperor was not at ease with the matters of the court to the King of Qi, and he needed Tu Yue, his absolute confidant to supervise it.

This is equivalent to arranging two auxiliary ministers, one is bright and the other is dark.

Although the ministers felt it was a little sudden, no one dared to object. After all, no one had the courage to disobey the Supreme Emperor Su Juxin.

What's more, King Qi is indeed capable, and Tu Yue is in secret, so there is no trouble.

The ugly face in the hall is Su Mo.

The emperor would rather hand over the court to the King of Qi than practice for his eldest son, and sent him to the border. He could imagine his status...

The civil and military officials were either pitiful or mockingly looking at Su Mo, but Tu Yue looked at Su Mo with some envy, knowing that the eldest prince had left a fire pit...

After going down the court, King Qi and Tu Yue followed Emperor Mingde to the imperial study room.

"Brother, do you really want to retreat with the Supreme Emperor? Why is it so sudden?" Su Qi wondered, and he didn't hear the wind before yesterday.

Su Gan looked solemn and said, "The Supreme Emperor is worried that the assassin with the emperor-level sword intent is the sword god who is trembling with the Immortal Palace.

So... make preparations in advance and go to the imperial tomb to practice in seclusion, so as to prevent it before it happens."

When the King of Qi heard this, he understood a lot, "It's because of the sword god who came out of nowhere... The Supreme Emperor's arrangement is safe. With the protection of the imperial tomb, it should be foolproof.

By the way, the emperor brother, Ye Fan, has not returned to the Shenlong clan yet, and has not seen him return to Zhenbei Hou Mansion. Could it be...he really..."

Emperor Mingde waved his hand, "My Prince Ye has come back. Commander-in-Chief Tu has found out about this matter and has nothing to do with him.

At this very moment, a little prince consort can't cause much trouble, so don't worry about him.

King Qi, you should manage the government affairs well for me. I believe in you and entrust the world to you!”

"Don't worry, brother, brother! I must devote myself to my whole life!" The King of Qi looked serious.

Emperor Mingde nodded with relief, "Get back, I want to discuss something with Lord Tu..."

The King of Qi also knew that the matter of the Shadow Guard was not something he could control. The Shadow Guard was just checking and balanced him, so he naturally didn't dare to say anything and respectfully gave up.

When Su Qi left, "Emperor Mingde" sighed and sat lazily on the chair.

"This emperor is so tired in front of him... Even if it's easy to remember these red tape, it's still tiring, it's boring..."

Tu Yue rarely smiled, "The ancestor of the Sword God Lord, Xuanyuan, perhaps because of this, he did not want to stay on the throne for a long time."

Ye Fan nodded. He really understood a little more deeply, and then asked: "Today, there should be no flaws, right?

I learned everything according to what you said, Emperor Mingde’s habits and tone.”

Tu Yue thought carefully and said, "Overall, there should be no problem, but there are a few old ministers who are old and mature, and I am afraid there will be some doubts.

Then you may come to give advice or inquire about your... Sword God's advice or inquire..."

Ye Fan said in a deep voice: "I don't have time to waste this time with them. If they have these thoughts, you can secretly settle it for me... no matter what means!"

Tu Yue shivered and nodded understandingly, "It's... Tu knows."

Just then, footsteps came from outside.

A eunuch reported: "Your Majesty, the Empress asks for a visit."
