Apex War God - Chapter 324
[Chapter 324 The minister is not guilty]
Jinluan Hall of the Imperial Palace.
The emperor was already fully dressed, with a purple gold crown on his head, a yellow dragon robe, a golden dragon belt around his waist, and unicorn boots on his feet.
There are hundreds of civil and military officials on the left and right, with Prime Minister Song Lirui as the head of the civil service, and Luo Gongming as the general above the military, all bowing to the emperor and shouting: “Long live, long live, long live.”
After the ceremony, everyone stood rigorously in their positions without making a sound.
“Xuan Yang Wu enters the palace.” The emperor slightly raised his hand and said to the eunuch on the right.
“Xuan Yangwu enters the hall.” The eunuch opened his voice and shouted to the outside of the hall.
Immediately afterwards, there were guards outside the palace shouting the same sentence again and again, and went straight out of the palace hall.
Yang Wu, who had already been waiting outside the palace, strode towards the palace.
“Brother, we are waiting for you outside the door.” The thin monkey called to Yang Wu.
Lu Zhi also said, “My lord, I’ll wait for your safe return.”
Without looking back, Yang Wu waved his hands at them, and walked towards the palace in a chic way.
When he walked in, the gate of the imperial palace was closed heavily, and a lot of murderous aura diffused from it.
Yang Wu has repeatedly resisted and failed to obey the edict, how can there be peace when he goes to the palace this time.
Yang Wu’s sensing power is so keen, after entering the palace, he was caught by all kinds of powerful auras, at least no less than twenty kings were lurking in it, he didn’t have the slightest fear in his heart, he still entered the palace with his head held high.
Yang Wu came to the front of the Golden Luan Hall, and saw two large pillars carved with dragons and painted phoenixes on the left and right. Eighty-one guards guarded the hall together.
Compared with the land of the barbarian patriarchs, the Daxia Palace is indeed much more enjoyable than the barbarian patriarchs. Every brick and tile here is full of luxury.
After Yang Wu entered the palace, he felt pairs of eyes cast towards him, each pair of eyes contained a different aura, but they were more devouring.

Yang Wu’s disrespect to the emperor is disrespect to their civil and military officials. In their hearts, he is a traitor and deserves to be punished.
Yang Wu ignored them, looked up at the emperor sitting above him and cupped his hands: “My subject Yang Wu pays homage to the emperor.”
“Bold Yang Wu, don’t kneel down when you see the Holy Majesty.” Someone asked loudly.
“Yang Wu is rude, don’t hesitate to kneel down and beg the emperor for forgiveness.” Another person said.
“Traitor Yang Wu, if you don’t kneel down, you will be punished with death.”
…
These civil and military officials were much more excited than Yang Wu. As soon as Yang Wu spoke, they began to scold and abuse.
The emperor sitting on the dragon seat also showed dissatisfaction, but he didn’t speak, and watched the civil and military officials attack Yang Wu calmly.
Yang Wu, on the other hand, was indifferent, whatever the civil and military officials scolded, he just ignored it and didn’t pay attention at all.
His attitude angered all civil and military officials even more, if possible, their eyes would kill Yang Wu to pieces.
After these people got tired of scolding, the emperor finally asked the crime, “Yang Wu, are you guilty?”
Yang Wu rudely raised his head to look at the emperor and replied with a smile: “Your Majesty, I am innocent.”
“Bold boy, you don’t obey the imperial decree even when you resist, and you don’t kneel when you see me. This is the crime of contempt for the Holy Grace. How dare you deny it.” The emperor yelled furiously.
There is a kingly dragon aura floating in his body, and that calm and majestic look is enough to make any official tremble with fear.
Yang Wu still said: “I don’t know the crime.”
“Well, Yang Wu, you really think that you can ignore my words because you have made some contributions, right? Someone, drag him out and behead him.” The emperor said angrily.
Guards outside the hall rushed in immediately, ready to arrest Yang Wu.
Yang Wu said quietly, “Your Majesty, haven’t you read the peace contract I signed with the barbarians?”
“Why, are you going to threaten me with this contract?” The emperor frowned and said.
“Of course Yang Wu didn’t dare, but there is a clause in the peace contract that I, Yang Wu, will be the ‘peace ambassador’ of the two countries for ten years. No matter what crimes I commit, I will not die. If I die, the contract will be invalidated.” , Your Majesty, don’t forget that this is a contract with your dragon seal on it, once it is torn up, it will damage the fate of the country.” Yang Wu said with a smug look.
After hearing this, the emperor was stunned for a moment.
He had checked the peace agreement between the two countries with his own eyes, and there was indeed an agreement mentioning Yang Wu as the “peace ambassador”, which was added at the request of the barbarians, but now it became Yang Wu’s reason for countering him.
“Your Majesty, Yang Wu can be exonerated from the death penalty, but he cannot escape the death penalty. I think that he is self-reliant and despises the emperor’s prestige. He should abolish his strength and imprison him in the prison for the rest of his life.” A civil servant stood up and said.
This person is Ji Meng, a third-rank civil servant, and one of Song Lirui’s most capable students. He is only 41 years old and is expected to become one of the six departments in the next five years. He is also known as one of Prime Minister Song’s successors.
Now, Ji Meng is one of the deputy departments of the Ministry of Officials. There are many officials in the imperial court who have passed his level. His authority is not as good as that of the Ministry of Officials, but it should not be underestimated.
When he spoke directly to the emperor, he raised a clear stand, and he was destined to be at odds with Yang Wu. Many times, what he meant represented a part of Prime Minister Song’s meaning.
After Ji Meng stood up, several civil servants also immediately stood up to impeach Yang Wu.
“Although Yang Wu has meritorious deeds, they all rely on the power of Heaven to achieve military merits. I thought that he should be killed on the spot to make others famous.”
“Yes, although the peace contract was signed by Yang Wu, he is only a courtier of my court and cannot represent the fortune of our court. It would not hurt the family to kill him, let alone the barbarians would not know.”
“I don’t think it’s good to treat a meritorious official like this. Just imprison him and break his limbs.”
…
These civil servants look polite, but they are full of cruel methods and thoughts in their bones.
Yang Wu looked at those people sideways, his face full of playfulness, and he waited for them to finish speaking and asked back: “Have you ever gone to the battlefield to kill barbarians? Do you know how many frontier soldiers shed tears and blood in exchange for the money?” This side is peaceful. In the first war, if it were not for me, Yang Wu, how could the frontier pass have won a great victory? The second time the barbarians came to negotiate peace, they have already surrounded hundreds of thousands of soldiers in our army, even the strongest in the sky They have all appeared, and just waiting for an order, our army will be wiped out, and there will be no survivors. If I, Yang Wu, went deep into the barbarians and had a good chat with the barbarian patriarchs, their army has already driven into the royal city , how can you have any part to speak here, I really don’t know what to say.”
The military officer on the right understood what he said was sad, and immediately the military officer agreed: “Your Majesty, the guard general is right. The barbarians are powerful. Although our army is not afraid, if there is a real fight, many people will be killed and injured. I thought The General Protector has done enough, so forget it.”
“I think it’s good to demote General Yang Wu as a partial general as a punishment, otherwise it will chill the hearts of all the soldiers.” Another military officer said.
The civil and military officials took different standpoints and treated Yang Wu differently, so people on the left and right started to confront each other.
The civil servant advocated heavy punishment of Yang Wu, while the military officer advocated light punishment of Yang Wu, and the hall was very lively.
“That’s enough, shut up.” The emperor scolded dissatisfiedly, and when everyone had settled down, he said to Song Xiang and Luo Gongming: “Song Xiang, General Luo, what do you two say about Yang?” Wu?”
“Kill it!” Song Xiang just replied two words flatly, but there was a strong murderous intent in these two words.
Luo Gongming said: “Yang Wuli’s military merits should be rewarded, and he should be punished for resisting orders. His merits are not worth it.”
What he said was like saying nothing, in fact, he still didn’t indicate whether Bai Yangwu should be killed or not.
The emperor was very depressed. As usual, he ordered Yang Wu to behead without even thinking about it. Yang Wu was so hateful that he even threatened him with a contract, telling him to kill him if he wanted to.
At this time, a voice sounded outside the hall: “Your Majesty, King Fu’an is asking to see you.”
Usually in the early dynasty, kings with the same surname did not need to participate, and they did not have any decision-making ability. Today, King Fu’an suddenly asked for an audience, which makes people think intriguingly.
The emperor hesitated for a moment and replied: “Xuan!”
Soon, King Fu’an came in, knelt down and shouted: “Long live.”
“Your brother got up, I don’t know why you asked to see me this time?” The emperor asked, in fact, he had already thought in his heart that it must be related to Yang Wu.
“My brother, I implore the emperor to forgive Yang Wu’s innocence.” Wang Gui of Fu’an said on the ground.
King Fu’an’s words immediately surprised everyone present. No one knew why the Yang family was copied. It was the King Fu’an who was in front of him. He didn’t receive the news until everyone was arrested. If he got the news a little later, I’m afraid the Yang family would have no survivors. Now that King Fu’an came to beg to let Yang Wu go, it is simply puzzling.
Yang Wu also narrowed his eyes, with a sneer in his eyes. He couldn’t understand why King Fu’an would do this. He didn’t speak for the time being, and let’s see what tricks the other party wanted to play.
“Why did the emperor say that?” The emperor asked in surprise.
“Yang Wu is a minister who has made great achievements. If he is executed, he will inevitably lead to dissatisfaction among all the officials and the people. Even if he resists the order in public, he is a young man who is impulsive and has a wish. What’s more, the emperor has issued an order to call He is the son-in-law, and you are also his father-in-law, and we will be a family in the future, how can a family kill a family, do you think so?” King Fu’an said rationally.
It was only now that the civil and military officials realized that the emperor had indeed issued an imperial decree to marry Princess Tang Xiaohan to Yang Wu.
King Fu’an mentioned it in public, which undoubtedly pushed Yang Wu to the cusp of a storm.
If Yang Wu agrees, it will be a family, and all previous affairs will be written off. If Yang Wu does not agree, then there is nothing to say, and he must be executed on the spot.
I have to say that King Fu’an’s kneeling proposal really hit the point.
“Yang Wu, are you willing to marry my favorite daughter and become the current son-in-law?” The emperor looked at Yang Wu and asked.
