Chapter 200 The changing situation
The little guy gets more excited than she does when he hears about robbery.
[Such a good thing! What are we waiting for? Let's go!]
When Dongfang Jin arrived in Lancheng, a city of the Xiongnu, the nights there were much more lively than in the capital of the neighboring country.
There were piles of bonfires.
You could hear their laughter and chatter from a great distance.
"Jin-jie, it seems they're performing some kind of ceremony here."
Dongfang Jin hid outside, watching the crowded streets and listening to the dialect she couldn't understand.
She really didn't understand what these people were doing.
However, she couldn't go out in a big way, because the people here, whether men or women, were all rough and uncouth.
Those people all had a distinct rosy complexion from the high altitude, and their clothing was somewhat similar to that of modern Tibetans.
She's so small; if she goes out, she'll definitely be spotted. She can't take that risk.
Let's go rob it.
Just as Dongfang Jin was about to nod, a commotion broke out in the restaurant next door, followed by a fight.
Dongfang Jin didn't look closely and left in the chaos.
The first place she went to was the home of Yelü Da, a Xiongnu prince. This prince was the younger brother of the Xiongnu king and was deeply loved by the Xiongnu king.
[This guy is really something; he even has a yurt in his mansion.]
Ruyi was puzzled. "What is that?"
These are their mobile homes on the grasslands.
【Jin-jie, head northwest.】
【okay. 】
After Dongfang Jin finished packing everything, he flashed into his spatial dimension.
"Jin-jie, take a look at this, it's quite interesting."
"Oh, what?"
"Here are letters written by Yelü Da to Zheng Lunian. Uh, they're a bit disgusting."
"Hmm?" Dongfang Jin looked at Ruyi, who was shaking the letter with disgust, and handed it to her.
She took it and looked at it, and oh dear, it disgusted her too.
Above are groups of little figures drawn with charcoal pencils, one of whom is Zheng Lunian, and the other is Yelü Da.
The little figures were naked, in various poses, and even every detail and expression was drawn with remarkable realism.
"One has to admire the painting skills of the ancients; their brushwork is truly exceptional."
However, I never expected Zheng Lunian to be so provocative under Yelü Da.
"Hey, hey, be careful not to get a sty. I'm showing you the words on the back, words! Not pictures."
"Little Ruyi, there are only two little people fighting on this, and the special parts aren't even drawn, okay?"
"Everywhere is naked."
"Calm down, just don't think in that direction, okay?"
Dongfang Jin turned the drawing over and looked at what was on it.
"Emma, this Xiongnu king is really something, he actually slept with his father's woman, and this Yelüda is actually his own son."
Haha, that explains it. No wonder he likes this younger brother more than his own son; it turns out it's his own son.
It seems this Xiongnu king is utterly in love with this woman.
No wonder people always say, "A wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a prostitute, a prostitute is not as good as a stolen affair, and a stolen affair is not as good as one you can't have, haha..."
Ruyi: "Don't you think it's messy?"
"What's all this chaos about? That's just how barbarians are. But I heard that the old Xiongnu king isn't dead yet."
I wonder what he'll think if he finds out about this?
"That old bastard Zheng Sihan probably doesn't know that everything he's done has been interfered with by Zheng Lunian."
The emperor of Donglin Kingdom should thank Zheng Lunian; otherwise, his throne would likely have been usurped long ago.
As Ruyi spoke, she took out another letter.
The letter still features two fighting figures on one side and text on the other.
The letter was all about stopping Zheng Sihan and the Xiongnu King's plans. The Xiongnu King was now middle-aged, strong and powerful.
In the Eastern Lin Kingdom, there are also Zhenguo Duke Helian Zhen and Cangnan Xi in charge.
No matter how much they try to sow discord over the years, the two families have never had any conflict.
Zheng Lunian wanted to attract the attention of the martial arts world and cause trouble for Emperor Shengde.
Unfortunately, none of the four major forces in the martial arts world were willing to start a war.
"I wonder how the Duke of Wu's family is doing now?"
"How about you go take a look?"
"No."
……
Capital
Rewind time to the morning court session.
Emperor Shengde had the Imperial Guards surround the Duke of Wu's residence for several days, and today, many officials in the court inquired about this matter again.
These past few days, the court has been discussing almost nothing but matters concerning the Duke of Wu's mansion.
Because, in the past few days, no one who has entered the Duke of Wu's mansion has come out.
The Imperial Guards kept the Duke of Wu's mansion under tight security, allowing entry but not exit.
They initially held onto a sliver of hope, but once inside, they really couldn't get out.
Two ministers' family members refused to submit and tried to force their way in, but they were both killed by the Imperial Guards, and their bodies were left at the gate of the Duke of Wu's mansion.
None of their family members dared to claim it rashly, for fear of exposing themselves.
However, they were unaware that these people had already exposed their master, otherwise they wouldn't have died so tragically.
Emperor Shengde looked at the officials in the court, who were pleading for the Duke of Wu. Today, their pleas were tinged with a hint of threat.
Threaten him?
Haha, have all these people forgotten who the emperor is and who their master is?
Seeing that the arguing had gone on for a while, Emperor Shengde threw all the letters written by Duke Wu, Zheng Sihan, about colluding with the enemy over the years, with a powerful internal force, at the faces of those ministers.
He sat upright on the dragon throne, a symbol of supreme power, his brows revealing an unquestionable imperial majesty.
His eyes were like torches, and every gesture he made exuded an aura of absolute power, causing all things within the four seas to bow down, and no one dared to look directly at his sharp edge.
A deep, powerful voice rang out: "You! Take a good look at me, look carefully."
"Heh, if I knew that any of you present were also involved, you know what would happen."
The ministers immediately became trembling with fear, holding the letters as if they were standing on the edge of an abyss.
Some people opened the envelope, some hesitated, and others, upon seeing the recipient, broke out in a thin layer of sweat on their foreheads despite the cold weather.
After Emperor Shengde finished speaking, he sat firmly on the golden dragon throne, looking expressionlessly at the civil and military officials below.
At that moment, the officials were also afraid, especially the few standing at the back, whose backs were soaked with sweat.
Some were already trembling with fear, while others exaggeratedly fainted in the imperial court.
At that moment, everyone suddenly realized that they had forgotten their own identities.
Some people looked at His Majesty, whose expression remained unchanged, and felt that this scene was so familiar; it was clearly the prelude to an impending storm.
Ten years ago, His Majesty had this same expression when he was here.
Yes, it was that "massacre"...
Thinking of this, another person fainted.
Just then, Anshun looked at the officials of various kinds with a sneer and snorted inwardly.
With a flick of his whisk, he shouted in a shrill voice, "Speak if you have something to say, otherwise the court is adjourned!"
The ministers in front quickly stood at attention, holding the letters: "We have no memorial to present!"
Even if they had a memorial to the throne, they dared not present it now.
Because someone read the contents of the letter, the situation is already shaky.
Some were even more indignant at themselves for being so brainless as to join in the commotion.
"Retreat!"
After Anshun finished shouting, he followed Emperor Shengde away without even glancing at the others.
Those letters are only a part; they've been written over a decade, and this is only a small portion.
They weren't afraid these people would collect and destroy the evidence, because their emperor still had a box of it.
Furthermore, Zheng Sihan is already dead, but these people are unaware of it.
As the saying goes: What is destined to be yours will be yours, and what is not, you cannot force.
Is the Duke of Wu hereditary?
It's the fourth generation.
This heart has grown big too.
What now……
As soon as Emperor Shengde left, the Imperial Tutor, the Duke of Zhenguo, and Prince Dun also left behind him.
