A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 837 Who will judge the case?

Chapter 837 Who will judge the case?
At that time, only the queen and the khan were left in the courtyard, facing a group of unruly second-in-commands of the Dangxiang tribe.

Yuan Wuyou looked at the tall and slender young Khan who was wearing silver-white rhinoceros skin armor.

His hands hanging at his sides were clenched into fists, his handsome face was as pale as paper, and beneath his arrogant brows, there was a pair of deep blue phoenix eyes with a cold gaze.

He looked resentful and frustrated, yet he didn't know where to start.

Yuan Wuyou simply waved his hand and told them to go back and listen to the news while he discussed it with Dangxiang Khan first.

It was already late at night and everyone was exhausted. As soon as the King of Huaxu asked them to disperse, they dispersed with joy.

Only Mi Qinlin was a little worried. Not only did he not leave, but he also walked forward and said with a worried look in his eyes, "Khan, this matter..."

The young Khan only gave him a determined look and said in a deep voice: "You go back first too."

The Khan's unquestionable tone made Mi Qinlin shut up immediately. He said no more and turned away.

When they were the only ones left in the courtyard, Wan Yuwu, who had been standing there like a wooden stake, suddenly moved his feet and moved closer to the queen, then turned around and said to her face to face:

"What should I do about this?"

Yuan Wuyou crossed his arms, looked serious, and said calmly:

"If you avoid this case because the victim is a man and you are afraid that you will be in a weak position and will be looked down upon by a woman if you come forward, then you are wrong. Your position is the Khan, the judge who corrects right and wrong. At this time, genders are equal, and you only need to judge right and wrong."

"Do you think I...have the authority to judge right from wrong?"

"Yes." The queen's eyes were solemn and her tone was firm. She then reached out and patted the boy's thin shoulder.

"You are the Khan of the eight Tangut tribes. When you stand there, all Tanguts should submit to you. Even if there are small chieftains who refuse to obey, with your ability, the worst that can happen is that you kill them and install a new king. You can even make the entire tribe disappear without a single person alive. That is what you deserve."

Hearing this, the young man, who had been keeping silent, suddenly raised his eyebrows and stared at her with his deep and bright black eyes.

"My abilities? In your eyes, am I a cruel and ruthless tyrant?"

"That's not the case." Yuan Wuyou smiled and squinted his eyes. "Anyway, I've said this much. It's up to you how you do it."

Seeing that she pushed the butcher knife back on herself again, Wan Yuwuyu snorted in dissatisfaction.

"Instead of just giving advice, can't you try the case for me? You can see that they don't obey me, and I don't have the courage to kill them. I'm even more afraid that they will rebel."

"You don't have the confidence to kill them, but you have the confidence to make demands to me." Yuan Wuyou looked at the silver-armored boy in front of him with a teasing look.

Having his thoughts exposed, Wan Yuwu's face suddenly darkened. The corners of his pale blood-red lips curled up slightly in a self-deprecating smile.

"I don't have the confidence to ask you to help me out."

Yuan Wuyou knew that he would usually retreat in order to advance, so this time she simply spoke frankly:

"Don't pretend. I don't believe you can stand their bullying. Besides, no matter how resolute and friendly I am to them, after all, I am an outsider and you are their direct leader."

"But you are our king. Not to mention them, even I, the Tangut Khan, can be at your disposal."

"If I punish them too severely, they will hate me, and you will take advantage of it and scold me, an outsider, for being cruel and ruthless, right? If I punish them too lightly, it will be useless and counterproductive, and they will think that both of us are easy to bully." After a pause, Yuan Wuyou said earnestly,
"So, naturally, it is more appropriate for you, the Dangxiang Khan, to try the case. You have been in the Central Plains for so many years, you should have discovered that even in the Southern Dynasties, as long as the power and status reach the peak, women and men have the same power and status." "But I..." The young man hesitated, his big deep blue eyes did not blink, just looking at her darkly and solemnly.

"I became the Khan because you disappeared and I was afraid that the Tanguts would disperse. I was forced to take the position. They don't accept me as a male Khan. I only have some prestige in the Central Plains. In fact, the leaders of the old tribes don't bother to listen to my orders at all."

"You didn't show any weakness in the Central Plains, so you shouldn't feel inferior when you return to the Tanguts."

Yuan Wuyou sighed and looked at the young Khan in front of him. His cold and handsome face still retained some childishness, half of his face was still red, and the deep red palm prints were faintly visible.

He was only one year older than her, and she shouldn't have expected him to be independent too early like herself.

Thinking of this, Yuan Wuyou raised his hand and held up half of his cheek.

"Whatever decision you make, I support you."

The young man's eyes were as big as stars and he nodded solemnly.

"But you are the host, and you need to gather them here."

The host nodded his chin and agreed with a firm look in his eyes.

In fact, Yuan Wuyou knew clearly that Wan Yuwuyu could do anything and dared to do anything, but he always liked to show weakness and submit in front of her recently, and always let her take the limelight.

I don’t know what he is hiding from, or if he is deliberately paving the way for her.

She is just like those virtuous wives who give face to their husbands outside and take care of trivial matters at home in an orderly manner.

No matter what his real intention was, Yuan Wuyou accepted it all and took it one step at a time.

So Yuan Wuyou first found Mi Qinlin, who was guarding the gate of the courtyard and had never left, and said that he was going to hold a court session. He asked him to notify each room one by one and summon all the six tribal leaders to the county government's court.

The boy was puzzled at the time and asked: "Which six?"

"Except for the Xifeng and Tuoba tribes, the remaining six are you."

Mi Qinlin pointed at his nose and said, "Ah? I want one too? What does that matter of frying lewd men have to do with me?"

Yuan Wuyou glanced at him. "If you keep talking nonsense, I will doubt you."

Upon hearing this, Mi Qinlin's face suddenly became filled with grief and anger!
"Aren't you deliberately accusing me? Who are you, the cloudy lady?!"

In fact, Yuan Wuyou was just teasing this kid and scaring him a little. After all, she knew that this kid would definitely not be able to get the women from the other five departments to do anything.

Finally, Yuan Wuyou stepped forward and forced the six leaders who were in the inn to gather together at a table.

At that time, in the main hall, everyone gathered around a square table with high legs.

Sitting next to the female king in the center was the young male Khan of the Tanguts. She held the teacup in one hand and went straight to the point:
"I strongly oppose this kind of thing. Not to mention that he is someone else's husband, even in this matter, you can't force it in public, right? In front of someone else's wife, and in front of people watching?"

Before she finished her words, a female leader on the opposite side whispered, "Didn't you also have sex with his brother in front of Lanling King?"

These words caught Yuan Wuyou off guard!
Unexpectedly, among the eight Dangxiang tribes, even the private affairs of Yuan Wuyou were known and dared to expose them in public, making her lose face!
