The hall fell silent for a moment.

Chu Ze didn’t urge him either.

Kang Cheng knelt on the ground, his head bowed, his heart beating wildly.

He didn't even have time to think about why Chen Shen would betray him at this time. He could only wait anxiously for Li Shichang's disposal.

Slandering envoys from other countries without any basis and arranging assassination by dead soldiers. Either of these two things is fatal.

But Kang Cheng has a special status, and Li Shichang will not kill him easily.

Not to mention that the assassination of Chu Ze had his permission.

Li Shichang thought for a while and decided to minimize the big deal: "This matter..."

"It's a matter of great importance. As a national master, Kang Cheng did something like this. If word spread, I'm afraid it would cause an uproar." The old national master coughed twice, then stood up and saluted Li Shichang with a serious face. He said, "In my opinion, it is better to remove him from the position of national advisor and ground him for three months to reflect on his mistakes."

"Master!" Kang Cheng looked up in disbelief.

Li Shichang was startled and looked sideways in surprise.

The old Imperial Master has not appeared for so many years, and as soon as he appears, he is asked to dismiss his apprentice?

Li Shichang looked at the old Imperial Master suspiciously.

The old master stood calmly and let Li Shichang look.

Seeing that the old Imperial Master had made up his mind, Kang Cheng knew that nothing he said would help, so he turned to Li Shichang: "Your Majesty! I have done my best for Ryukyu and appeased the people for Your Majesty. If Your Majesty dismisses me rashly, I'm afraid it will cause trouble." It’s unnecessary trouble, Your Majesty, please think again!”

"This is a bit exaggerated. Isn't it okay if our Ming Dynasty doesn't have a national advisor? It can be seen that a national advisor is not necessary, as long as the monarch is wise." Chu Ze glanced at Li Shichang pointedly. , just say directly, boy, we are ordering you!
Before Li Shichang spoke, Chen Shen spoke first: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Advisor should be used by Your Majesty, but if the Imperial Advisor wants to be superior to Your Majesty, then it's okay not to have this Imperial Advisor."

Kang Cheng's face darkened, and he suddenly turned his head to glare at Chen Shen: "When did I become superior to His Majesty?!"

Just at this moment, the old master answered the question quietly.

"Your Majesty, old customs and omissions can be changed. It is not necessary to have a national preceptor."

"Old man, shut up! Since it's not absolutely necessary, then why didn't you ask Li Shixing to remove you while you were still in office!" Kang Cheng's eyes, which were staring at the old Imperial Master, were red and dotted with blood-red streaks. Man, looks very scary.

Such vulgar words only made the old master look slightly sideways.

That look was as indifferent as water.

It was as if Kang Cheng was like grass on the ground in his eyes, not worthy of his attention at all.

After just one glance, he looked away.

The old Imperial Master's tone remained calm as he continued: "Kang Cheng, as a Imperial Master, did not respect his master and spoke evil words. He deserves to be punished. Please, Your Majesty, please increase the time of his grounding to half a year. "

In these six months, as long as Li Shichang operates properly, Ryukyu will never have another national master.

Li Shichang understood what the old master had to say.

Needless to say, he was very moved.

Who would find it too powerful?
Without the Imperial Preceptor, only His Majesty is left in Ryukyu.

He, Li Shichang, is the king of Ryukyu.

Wouldn't it be nice if no one shared power with him?

The more Li Shichang thought about it, the more excited he became.

Kang Cheng was so worried that he quickly shouted: "Your Majesty, I..."

"Okay." Li Shichang raised his hand and interrupted Kang Cheng, "I think Chen Shen's words are very reasonable. As a national teacher, how can you do these things? Lord Chu is an envoy from the kingdom after all. You are like this I have to give Ming an explanation for my actions. Let’s do this. You will be grounded for half a year. After half a year, if you reflect on yourself, I can still restore you to the position of national teacher. After all, you have worked hard for Ryukyu for so many years. There is no credit but hard work. , I still know." "But Your Majesty..."

"What, you still have questions?" Li Shichang looked at Kang Cheng displeased.

Seeing Li Shichang's determined eyes, Kang Cheng opened his mouth and swallowed the words that came to his lips.

"My lord, I obey." Kang Cheng gritted his teeth and knelt down.

Li Shichang really wanted to depose him.

It would definitely be counterproductive for him to argue here now.

But he, Kang Cheng, was never one to give up easily.

Li Shichang colluded with that old guy... Yes!Li Shichang must have joined forces with that old guy. Otherwise, how could the old guy who never showed up suddenly appear at this juncture?
The Xingyue that was brought into the palace by the old man must have been replaced by him.

He has only one purpose, to seize his position as national master.

The more Kang Cheng thought about it, the more he realized that this was the case.

When he left the palace, Kang Cheng drove himself crazy just by imagining it.

Fortunately, he also helped Li Shichang seize the throne. As a result, when he sat on the throne, he began to kill the donkey.

Well, that's very good.

But they may have forgotten that he has been a national teacher for so many years, how can he be a person without the power to resist?

Just wait, he will soon let them know that deposing him will be the worst thing they have done in their lives.

Kang Cheng walked out of the palace gate, looked back at the palace gate with a cold look, then got on the carriage and said in a cold voice: "Go back to the house." Today's business is not over yet.

Kang Cheng was driven out of the palace, and only Chu Ze, Li Shichang and the old imperial master were left in the palace.

The old Imperial Master had a face full of no desires and demands. When he saw Kang Cheng leaving, he also asked to leave.

After a while, only Li Shichang and Chu Ze were left in the huge hall.

Li Shichang sat on the dragon chair and looked at Chu Ze condescendingly, and the latter looked at him without fear.

After a moment, Chu Ze took the initiative to look away.

"Your Majesty, if nothing is wrong, then we will retreat first." Chu Ze lowered his head in a very respectful manner.

Li Shichang liked this kind of respect.

The face that was still straight just now started to smile slowly.

Even the look in Chu Ze's eyes was much gentler than before.

He said: "Well, it's nothing serious. I just heard that Li Shi, who was discussing the mineral vein issue with Lord Chu this time, died?"

As soon as Chu Ze heard his words, he knew what he wanted to ask.

"Yes." Chu Ze replied, "He died in an assassination. We have brought the body back and handed it over to the officials of your dynasty."

Li Shichang was not interested in how Li Shi died. He said "hmm", nodded, and then asked: "Then Mr. Li and Mr. Chu must have known about the matter discussed by Mr. Chu, right? I wonder how your discussion went?"

Chu Ze sneered in his heart, but his expression remained the same: "Of course it's no problem."

"Seriously?" Li Shichang leaned forward in excitement, his eyes locked on Chu Ze, for fear that what he just said was his illusion.

Chu Ze nodded. He looked at Li Shichang with a slightly less obvious look in his eyes and said, "Of course it's serious. The mineral veins are on the borders of your country. Although the mining rights are in our Ming Dynasty, we still have to rely on your Majesty for many things. As long as Your Majesty can give us more convenience, and these small matters can be discussed." (End of Chapter)
