Everyone stared at him with serious faces, except Feng Mingwei who was smiling and eating leisurely.
"Are you trying to force me to death? Okay, then I have nothing to say. If you want me to die, I have to die."
A cold glint flashed in the palace king's eyes. Even if he died, he would hold the person on his back. As he spoke, he pulled out the guard's knife and prepared to wipe his neck.
Seeing Murong Xiao and Feng Mingwei picking up food from each other, they didn't take him seriously at all.
The palace king was angry, his eyes were scarlet and fierce, and he wanted to kill them.
"Brother Gong Wang, don't be impulsive." King Wu stopped him in time.
"How come you still don't understand what happened now?"
Only if he pleads guilty can he save the Gong clan. If he chooses to die together and use his death to incite those in Miyagi to rebel.
The Gong family has only one way to die.
The palace king was grabbed by the wrist by King Wu, but the knife did not touch his neck. He bared his teeth and glared at Murong Xiao with hatred, "I am not guilty and will not plead guilty!"
"It doesn't matter whether you plead guilty or not, because the evidence is conclusive."
Murong Xiao put down the wine glass and motioned for someone to take it down, "Take it down and hang it at the entrance of the imperial capital for people to watch."
The palace king wanted to take King Wu hostage and escape, but Hayate saw through it and kicked him away. The guards swarmed up and held him down, locking him up with chains.
The palace king struggled and screamed all the way, but he was not convinced at all.
"Let's call it quits today!" Murong Xiao chuckled.
Each of the remaining feudal lords was rewarded with an additional ten thousand taels of gold.
There is also a box of Dongzhu.
Dongzhu was gifted by Feng Mingwei and is her treasure.
The others dispersed, but the king remained.
Jun Jinnian and Feng Mingwei looked at each other. They were once sworn brothers and sisters. Although they had not made it public, this was indeed the case.
"I am guilty, please punish me!"
He glanced at Feng Mingwei and then knelt down.
"Is it because Princess Mingwang was kidnapped?"
"Get up! This matter is not the Jun family's fault." Murong Xiao said.
Feng Mingwei also motioned for him to get up, "I have avoided you all these years, but am I angry?"
Jun Jinnian was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "I don't dare."
He did look for her many times over the years. But was rejected.
He knew the reason. She just didn't want the Jun family to get into special situations because of their past relationship with her, but even so, because of this past relationship.
The Jun family has the best life among the vassal kings.
The son married the princess of the Murong family, and the daughter married the eldest son of the Murong family.
Both marriages were tacitly approved by Murong Xiao. He even married the daughter of the Long family with his tacit consent. The Murong family never refused anything the Jun family asked for, just because he had saved Princess Feng in the past.
Murong Xiao did this all for Feng Mingwei's sake and responded to the Jun family's requests, so the Feng family no longer owed him any favors, and Feng Mingwei no longer owed him any favors to the Jun family.
"Ling'er will be fine, don't worry."
"Don't worry, the emperor will not cut down the vassalage."
Jun Jinnian was surprised, "Why is the Queen Mother so sure? The emperor has had a very fierce battle with the vassal kings over the years."
Because of his stance, he had to be on the opposite side of the team.
I know very well in my heart the emperor's hatred for the vassal kings.
He had long wanted to eradicate the feudal king.
"You have been working with the emperor for so long. You should understand that the emperor just wants everyone to be in peace. If you can take care of your own fiefdoms, stay safe and be good ministers, why would the court and the emperor want to reduce the vassalage?"
When the subordinate countries became fiefdoms, it was because they did not sincerely submit to the Northern Qi Dynasty and always found ways to make small moves in private.
The imperial court had no choice but to weaken their power.
At present, it will take some time to reduce the vassal status.
The emperor wanted to replace these elderly vassal kings with young people like Ye Huang.
The old guys are scheming and have old ideas, and they dare not manage.
Judging from the development of the imperial court, it is not wrong for the emperor to want to change people.
"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, so why do you have to think so much about it?" Feng Mingwei said.
"You think too much and your white hair grows longer. You look older than me now."
Jun Jinnian was amused by her words, "So I want to wait until the princess comes back and let Jie'er inherit the title. The Supreme Emperor is right, when you are old, you should obey your old age."
Next it’s up to the young people.
"It's just that the princess doesn't know where she is now. If anything happens, I have no face to face Brother Ming Wang."
Until now, Murong Ming was looking for his daughter, and the whole family was on the move. (End of chapter)
