Emperors of the Heavens: Summon the Governor of the East Factory at the beginning

Chapter 13: The Forbidden Army comes to the door, and the Sunflower Guard appears for the first time

"Your Majesty, Zhenbei King Chu Yuan already knew yesterday that he would be required to attend today's court meeting, but until now the Zhenbei Palace is still indifferent. It seems that Chu Yuan is still a little dissatisfied with His Majesty's previous arrangements."

Among the ranks of civil servants, an old man with a gray beard who was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue at the time said something meaningful.

This old man, named Zhao Qing, was an aide in the East Palace before the new emperor succeeded to the throne.

Naturally, he was the most loyal confidant of Emperor Jiang Rui. As a confidant of the emperor, how could he not know that the new emperor was already dissatisfied with Zhenbei Palace in his heart.

At this moment, in the court hall, Chu Yuan's absence from the court meeting was caused to be dissatisfaction with His Majesty's arrangements for the marriage, which was already a sign of disobedience.

If this matter is implemented, I am afraid that Chu Yuan and even the entire Zhenbei Palace will be in trouble.

"Your Majesty, the King of Zhenbei was immersed in His Majesty's long favor yesterday, probably because he was so involved that he forgot the time."

"Your Majesty is a wise king with a broad mind. It is not too late to send someone to investigate this matter before making a decision."

Zhou Qi, who had been paying attention to Chu Yuan for a long time, suddenly felt a thump in his heart when he heard Zhao Qing's words.

In the next moment, he couldn't care about anything else, and said immediately.

Zhou Qi's blunt statement made many courtiers above the court look at him strangely.

With Zhou Qi's political sense, it was impossible not to know the new emperor's attitude towards Zhenbei Palace.

In the capital, it has long been tacitly understood.

But even in such a situation, he dared to risk Long Yan's anger and speak for the Zhenbei Palace. This move can be said to make all the ministers look at each other.

However, when they thought about Zhou Qi's identity and his relationship with Zhenbei Palace, the ministers did not think much about it.

After all, the relationship between the eldest lady of the Zhou family and Zhenbei King Chu Yuan is so close. For Zhou Jingxuan's sake, Zhou Qi will always stand up and say something good for Zhenbei King's Palace!
But if we say that Zhou Qi will collude with Zhenbei Prince's Mansion and share hardships, anyone who is not a confused person will know how to make the decision.

"What Zhou Qing said is not unreasonable. Since today's matters in the court have been discussed, I and the officials will wait a little longer in this court."

"Come here! Go to Zhenbei Palace and summon Zhenbei King Chu Yuan into the palace!"

Naturally, Emperor Jiang Rui could not pretend that he had not heard Zhou Qi's memorial.

After all, the most important thing about today's court meeting is to compete with the Zhenbei Palace. If Chu Yuan didn't come, wouldn't he be a one-man show by himself? How could he make the majesty of the imperial power deeply rooted in the hearts of the people?

If Chu Yuan really dares to defy the imperial decree openly in the court, no one can comment on Jiang Rui's thunderous wrath as the emperor in front of everyone!
"Yes! Your Majesty."

The captain of the Forbidden Army led the order to retreat.

Zhao Qing, the Minister of Household Affairs, also remained silent at this moment.

Since His Majesty has given the order, it is useless for him to say more!

Moreover, Zhou Qi's future status is no longer the same as before. After the ninth prince's wedding, the Zhou family became a relative of the emperor.

At this time, it is unwise to refute the other party's face and plant the seeds of hatred.

…………

Just when hundreds of officials were waiting in silence in the court, the atmosphere seemed a little subtle.

At this moment, the Zhenbei Palace was as calm as ever.

When the captain of the imperial army led a dozen of the imperial army to the Zhenbei palace, Chu Yuan was eating leisurely in the main hall.

However, the surroundings of the main hall where he ate were unusually full of guards.

There are guards everywhere in the palace, and it looks like there are thousands of people!
The robes worn by these guards were all made of strange and exotic beasts, and each of them had a fierce aura about them.

Even the gaze seemed to have a bone-chilling chill to it, making one look at it and feel the hairs all over his body standing on end.

Dressed like this and with such military strength, he was clearly the Sunflower Secret Guard who had been training in the secret hall of Zhenbei Palace.

At this moment, there are no less than a hundred sunflower guards scattered around the hall.

The captain of the imperial army, who originally carried the emperor's oral instructions and had a stern expression, entered from the main entrance of Zhenbei Palace and had just stepped into the main hall.

Suddenly, he was stunned by the heavily guarded scene in front of him, and his whole body froze.

Especially when many Sunflower Secret Guards looked over, the Forbidden Army Colonel immediately swallowed uneasily.

His current cultivation level has reached the middle stage of a master. Looking at the hundreds of mysterious guards in front of him, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

With his cultivation level, he can naturally see the strength of these guards!
Among the nearly a hundred sunflower secret guards in front of me, not one of them is lower than the third level of innate!
Especially the two men on the left and right sides of the main hall gate who obviously looked like guards commanders, their aura was so overwhelming that the captain couldn't breathe.

"Grand Master! He is not just an ordinary Grand Master, at least he is a mid-level Grand Master or above!"

The captain of the Forbidden Army whispered to himself, seeing that his demeanor no longer had the awe-inspiring majesty that carried the emperor's intentions at the beginning, and even his steps seemed a bit cramped and flustered.

At this moment, he was also feeling alert in his heart.

After all, the Zhenbei Palace is still the only king with a different surname in the Da Cang Dynasty. Even if his strength is not as good as that of the royal family, it is definitely not something that a small Imperial Army captain like himself can be arrogant about.

The steward Mo Beiheng, who was leading the way, had been paying attention to the expressions of the Imperial Army captains who came to deliver their speeches.

At this moment, when he saw the scene where he was losing his composure, his eyes narrowed slightly, with a fleeting look of contempt in his eyes.

After finally arriving at the entrance of the main hall under the gaze of hundreds of guards, a group of forbidden soldiers finally saw their true master.

"My lord, there are people coming from the palace."

After Mo Beiheng finished speaking to Chu Yuan, he stood directly to one side, but Chu Yuan seemed not to hear it at this moment.

He blew lightly on the soup beside his mouth, then opened his mouth and took a small sip.

If he had not experienced the previous scene where many mysterious guards were watching, the captain of the imperial army would definitely be angry when he saw Chu Yuan acting so arrogantly.

But at this moment, the Forbidden Army still had not recovered.

Who dared to question Chu Yuan's impoliteness, so he had to wait aside like Mo Beiheng.

"Go ahead."

After about half a cup of tea, Chu Yuan drank the last mouthful of soup, picked up the silk on the side and wiped his mouth, and then slowly spoke.

Every move of the hand and every gesture of the foot is full of great majesty and unquestionable dignity.

When Chu Yuan's eyes came over, the captain of the imperial army woke up and said with a slight stumble: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, Your Majesty has issued a decree to summon you to the palace."

The captain said tremblingly.

At this moment, his focus was no longer on Chu Yuan's demeanor, nor did he care whether Chu Yuan was sitting or kneeling to listen to the order.

He is now only worried about whether he and the dozens of forbidden troops behind him can leave the Zhenbei Palace alive.
