Chapter 43
"Your Majesty, this matter is related to the foundation of the country and must not be decided rashly. The old minister suggested that the six ministries and the clan's government should jointly judge, submit a joint memorial, and finally be judged by His Majesty. I wonder what Your Majesty thinks?"

Lin Zhengqing could no longer act as a mute, so she hurriedly stood up to dissuade her.

But he was cautious, even if it was to dissuade him, he didn't want to be labeled as "the king of the palace", so his words were tactful.

In fact, yesterday he had a long secret talk with Xie Changfeng and reached many agreements.

But today's emperor's hand has no intention of inserting willows, but directly disrupts all the agreements, and may even erase them all.

Because he doesn't think Cheng Long has the possibility of winning, and Xie Changfeng thinks so too.

Once the bet is reached, let alone the dangers of Shang Fazong becoming the emperor, just the fact that Shang Fazong defected to the emperor is enough to cause him a lot of headaches.

But this matter is a great thing for Xie Changfeng, the other party is unlikely to refuse, so he has to stand up.

……

Hearing Lin Zhengqing's words, the eyes of the three kings lit up, and they came out one after another to persuade them.

Delaying time is the best strategy right now, as for how long it can be delayed, it depends on their abilities.

However, before Zhou Xin could respond, Xie Changfeng hastily opened his mouth.

"Report to Your Majesty! Your Majesty Xie Changfeng, I would like to accept the bet on behalf of Shang Fazong!"

After finishing speaking, from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Zhou Xin's frowning and hesitation. Xie Changfeng's heart skipped a beat, fearing that Zhou Xin would repent, he turned his head and aimed at the officials in the hall.

"Your Majesty's golden words have been spoken, and your lords are obstructing you in every possible way. Aren't you trying to make your majesty lose faith in the world? Where are your lords going to put your majesty's majesty?"

Zhou Xin frowned again, and then relaxed it again.

"I have already decided on this matter, so please don't talk about it again."

After a cold snort, Zhou Xinfu looked at Xie Changfeng again with a gentle expression.

"I heard that Shang Fazong has a unique wine called Chunfengzui, and a wine vessel that has been passed down for 300 years called Yushang."

"Before the decisive battle, Sect Master Xie can bring them together. One can open my eyes and taste something new. Two, I can personally give wine to the two of you."

Hearing this, Xie Changfeng was stunned for a moment, then grateful and excited.

The emperor was worried that he would suspect that the wine given might be poisoned wine, so he specially asked him to bring fine wine and wine vessels to dispel his worries.

It can be seen from this that the young emperor His Majesty has no ghostly intentions, but really wants to completely win him over and tie Shang Fazong to the emperor's chariot.

For this, he was extremely happy and excited.

Compared with becoming a national teacher and making Shang Fazong the national clan of the Great Zhou, the promises made by the prime minister and Wei Wang are nothing worth mentioning!
Therefore, he doesn't mind helping the emperor wholeheartedly!

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely present the oldest and most mellow Spring Breeze to Your Majesty!"

Xie Changfeng said loudly, and at the same time saluted very respectfully, his posture was completely two extremes compared with when he first came.

……

With the end of the court council, the bet on the "Fight on the Peak of Yueyang" quickly spread in the imperial capital, and it is spreading to the entire Great Zhou as time goes by.

All of a sudden, there was a lot of noise everywhere, and there were heated conversations around this matter everywhere.

There are too many big facts that have happened in this month, almost one after another, which makes people dizzy.

First came the decree of favor, followed by the majestic king's conspiracy and the death of the general, followed by the execution of the false queen mother, the emperor's personal administration, and then the draft.

Now, the third round of the draft has just ended in various parts of the Great Week, and there are still six rounds to be selected.

Unexpectedly, at this juncture, such an astonishing event happened again.

For the middle and lower class people, no one knows who is stronger than Xie Changfeng and Cheng Long, and who is better.

One is Xie Changfeng, the patriarch of Shangfazong, who is a giant in the righteous way, and the leader of Shangfazong and even the righteous way in the world, and the other is Cheng Long, the commander of the Imperial Army who protects the safety of the emperor and the palace and has made great military exploits.

Each of these two people is an existence that is unattainable and unpredictable in the eyes of ordinary people. The world does not know how to judge their strength.

But there is also a simple and not necessarily accurate consensus, that is: Xie Changfeng represents the pinnacle of military power in the Jianghu, while Cheng Long represents the pinnacle of military power in the imperial court.

The collision between these two people is bound to represent a head-on collision between the power of the rivers and lakes and the power of the court.

Therefore, while countless people are arguing fiercely, they are also longing for that day to come.

They all want to know, if we only talk about fighting alone, is Jiang Hu stronger, or the imperial court is better?
And this result is bound to affect many things...

Qiongyu Inn.

"Your Majesty, this is crazy... Cough, how could His Majesty propose such a bet? This..."

An aide's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

"My lord, why don't you try to get His Majesty to change the gambler and let the little lord go?"

Nie Kaishan's face changed slightly, and he turned to look at Nie Yun who was sleeping soundly in the cubicle. Seeing that he didn't respond, he breathed a sigh of relief and glared at his staff.

"He Shao, stop talking nonsense!"

"The imperial decree has already been issued, how can it be changed?"

Nie Kaishan snorted unhappily, looking unhappy.

"Furthermore, although Yun'er is strong, she may not be Xie Changfeng's opponent. Xie Changfeng has been famous for a long time, and his talent in swordsmanship is outstanding. The rumors of No. 1 in the world may not be just bragging."

He Shao sighed helplessly, and shook his head with a complicated expression.

"But Commander Cheng is good at killing in battle formations, not fighting alone. Comparing him with Xie Changfeng, there is almost no hope."

He Shao's words are obviously taking care of Cheng Long's face...

"Not necessarily."

Nie Kaishan shook his head with deep eyes.

"Your Majesty's intellect has long been proven, and it is absolutely impossible for him to do more harm than good."

"Perhaps, His Majesty has some means to help Commander Cheng... Even if there is no way, His Majesty's strategy of dividing traitors and thieves from Jianghu forces has been successful."

"There is no doubt that once this bet is made, Shang Fazong will definitely draw a clear line with the prime minister's family! Without Shang Fazong taking the lead, it is unlikely that other forces in the world will continue to help each other."

"Based on this alone, His Majesty has already won a big victory."

He Shao nodded thoughtfully, then smiled wryly.

"What the prince said is indeed reasonable. But although the wolves drive away and the leopards come again, there are still advantages and disadvantages in the end."

At this time, another staff member, Dong Fang, shook his head thoughtfully.

"I can't see it. When the news of this bet comes out, the Nine Nether Demon Sect and Jinhong Temple must be the ones most affected."

"As the giants of the rivers and lakes with Shang Fazong as a tripartite rivalry, the two parties will never watch Shang Fazong become the Great Zhou Guozong. Otherwise, their fate will be extremely bad."

"Therefore, the possibility of these two parties secretly assassinating Xie Changfeng is extremely high. In order to ensure Xie Changfeng's safety, Shang Fazong will definitely use all his masters and gather in the imperial capital to protect Xie Changfeng's safety!"

"If so, then the court..."

He Shao was shocked when he heard this.

"Hiss! What do you mean, His Majesty's throwing out this bet is actually a drunkard's intention?"

"Most likely!"

Dong Fang nodded heavily, squeezed his hands together, seemed a little nervous, or...excited...

"If before the decisive battle, the imperial army uses some crimes to surround and kill Shang Fazong's masters and Xie Changfeng, then the bet will naturally not continue!"

"Without the layer of masters, it will be much easier to take care of Shang Fazong, and there is a high probability that other rivers and lakes will not dare to cause chaos."

"Hiss! If that's the case, then it's killing two birds with one stone. It not only divides the rebellious ministers and the forces of the world, but also removes Shang Fazong, a cancer that hinders the court in many ways. This move is so clever that it's scary!"

He Shao said in surprise, also a little excited.

Nie Kaishan's right hand, which was rubbing his beard, suddenly pulled out two black beards.

"What Dong Fang said is not impossible, but the holy will is unpredictable. Perhaps only His Majesty knows what it is."

"Okay, let's stop guessing about this matter. Yuan Rang hasn't returned yet?"

"It should be soon..."

While several people were talking, the burly man from before, that is, Zhai Yuanrang, the commander of the palace guard, stepped into the house.

Nie Kaishan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked a question.

"how?"

"Back to the lord, the Tianji Building agreed to the proposal of the wang ye, but did not inform the specific time and place, only said that someone will be sent to pick up the lord in the evening to have an interview with the owner of the Tianji building, Mr. Yan."

"That's fine."

Nie Kaishan relaxed.

After thinking for a long time, he finally chose Tianjilou as the referrer.

"Can they find out our identity?"

"I'm not sure about this, but they kept me waiting for a quarter of an hour. Perhaps they were investigating my background and identity during this period. Maybe they found out, or else they wouldn't have agreed to let you talk to Yan directly. Son interview."

"If it is really found, then this secret building will be even more terrifying than imagined..."

Nie Kaishan murmured, suddenly feeling a lot heavier on his body.

……

Night, Cuiyin Tower.

When Nie Kaishan walked into the big box on the top floor under the guidance of a pretty maid, his expression changed suddenly.

Because Nie Yun, who was following behind him with drowsy eyes, suddenly became energetic, his eyes even seemed to be flickering with lightning, his body tensed up, and his face was full of excitement.

Following Nie Yun's line of sight, he found a figure standing beside the case inside.

The man has a thin body, slightly protruding lips, and extremely conspicuous cheekbones on both sides. People can quickly think of the word "monkey cheek" at a glance.

At this moment, this person was also staring straight at Nie Yun, but what flickered in his eyes was not excitement, but bloodlust and ferocity.

Nie Kaishan's heart trembled, and at the same time he was secretly surprised, he pulled Nie Yun's arm and cast a stern warning look.

Nie Yun showed such a demeanor that he obviously met an opponent who was extremely interested, which also showed that the strength of that person must be extremely amazing.

How strong Nie Yun is, he, the father, knows best.

Now, Mr. Yan would be surrounded by a strong man with similar strength to Nie Yun, which surprised him.
