Chapter 320: The words of the Martial Saint are the evidence!
Capital city.
On the third day after setting out from Nanjiang Prefecture, Lin Ye arrived at the foot of the capital.
There were huge crowds of people, a city gate that was tens of meters wide, and a moat that was nearly a hundred meters long.
"As expected of the capital, it is quite impressive."
Lin Ye looked at the old city wall with traces of war and strode into the capital.
The commander of the garrison at the city gate looked at Lin Ye walking in, gave his subordinates a few instructions, and then quickly left in one direction.
The main hall of the imperial palace.
"My dear ministers, please do not leave in a hurry today. The chrysanthemums that I planted in my imperial garden are in full bloom today. I invite you to enjoy the flowers together."
When the morning court was about to end, Emperor Shang Yuan called out to all the ministers.
Since the emperor had spoken, the ministers would naturally not refuse without giving him face, so many ministers followed Emperor Shang Yuan to the Imperial Garden.
However, just as they reached the entrance of the Imperial Garden, they heard a loud noise coming from the front palace, and then the guards hurried over.
"Your Majesty, someone has broken into the palace. Please follow us to the Dragon Guarding Palace first."
The Hulong Palace was a palace specially built for the emperor to take refuge.
"What are you panicking about!"
Emperor Shang Yuan shouted loudly, "When I first started my army, I saw all kinds of battles. How could I be afraid of anything? I want to see who dares to break into the palace. Are any of you who dare to challenge me?"
"Your Majesty, I am willing to give you the way."
The first person to stand up was a general, and as he did, other officials also spoke up. No matter whether they were willing to do so or not, they had to stand up at this time.
"Well, I am very pleased that you have such courage. Please follow me."
Emperor Shang Yuan was very satisfied and led his ministers towards the front palace. Of course, the guards also followed.
Three minutes later, when Emperor Shang Yuan and others rushed to the front palace, they saw the scene at the palace gate and many officials exclaimed in surprise.
At the palace gate, the majestic palace gate collapsed to the ground, with broken wood everywhere, along with the broken wood were the miscellaneous guards lying on the ground.
At the gate of the palace, there stood a young man.
Standing at the front of the ministers, An Zisheng saw the person in front of him, the corner of his mouth twitched, and then he glanced at Emperor Shang Yuan. In just a moment, he understood why Emperor Shang Yuan wanted to keep everyone to appreciate the chrysanthemums.
Admiring the chrysanthemums is fake, what needs to stay is yourself.
"Who are you, and why are you breaking into my palace?"
Emperor Shang Yuan looked at the person in front of the door. Although he had seen this person's portrait in advance, when he saw the real person, he felt jealous.
As an emperor, he did not care much about a man's appearance. What he wanted in a man was wisdom and talent rather than just good looks.
But Lin Ye is too blessed by God. He is talented, a martial saint, a cultivator, and now he is so handsome.
It is said that the emperor is the son of destiny, but in comparison, he feels that Lin Ye is the favorite of God.
"Why are you asking when you already know the answer? Lin Ye from Dahan Trading Company, my purpose for coming here is simple: revenge!"
Dahan Trading Company, Lin Ye.
As soon as these two key words came out, the expressions of all the officials became strange, and many of them looked at An Zisheng.
A few years ago, Prime Minister An disregarded the emperor's face because of Lin Ye, and exposed matters that could have been handled privately, causing discord between the emperor and his ministers.
Only a few years had passed and the storm had just subsided, but the person involved actually showed up and even broke into the palace.
What is going on?
"Which fellow has come to the capital?"
Just as all the officials were surprised, several voices were heard from the capital, and then four warriors came from various directions of the city and appeared at the palace gate.
Four warriors who have reached the great perfection of Jingzhe Realm.
There are no martial arts sects in the capital, but in order to prevent some martial artists from causing trouble in the capital, there are several martial artists who have reached the great perfection of the Jingzhe realm to guard the capital.
The movement at the palace gate obviously attracted the attention of these four.
The four of them were angry at first, but when they saw Lin Ye's face clearly, they were shocked.
The old man on the left clasped his fists and asked tentatively, "Excuse me, who are you?"
"Lin Ye."
The old man and his three other companions looked at each other and found that it was indeed the Martial Saint who had been the most popular recently.
The reason why the four people thought of that person at the first time was because that person was the most popular person recently, so they thought of him based on his appearance and strength.
He is young and handsome, and they cannot see through the other party's strength. This is the only one who meets these conditions.
It turned out to be this person.
"Senior Lin, I don't know about this?"
Knowing this man's identity, the attitudes of these four suddenly became humble. The ministers were very confused when they saw this scene. They knew these four warriors, so why were they so humble to Lin Ye?
"This Shang Yuan Emperor sent someone to assassinate me. I'm here to ask him for an explanation. Is that okay?"
Lin Ye was very polite, but the old man quickly replied after hearing him: "Of course, no problem, please go ahead. "
After saying this, the old man looked at Emperor Shang Yuan with an expression as if he was looking at a fool.
Is this emperor crazy to assassinate a martial saint?
"You said His Majesty sent someone to assassinate you. Do you have any evidence? Where is the person who assassinated you?"
Among the ministers, one minister stood up and questioned Lin Ye.
"Killed by me." Lin Ye replied with a smile.
"That means there is no evidence. Doesn't that mean that now everything is up to you? You said that Your Majesty assassinated you, so I assassinated you, and I said that you assassinated me?"
The minister had a smile on his face. He was known for his eloquence, and seeing that he had a chance to speak up for the emperor, he would naturally not miss such an opportunity to show his loyalty and seek wealth.
Lin Ye smiled, then looked at the old man: "Do you need me to produce evidence?"
The old man quickly replied: "No, Senior Lin, you are a martial saint, so you will not lie."
The Martial Saint represents the truth.
The minister who wanted to show his loyalty was stunned when he heard the old man's answer.
Martial Saint!
Although warriors are not allowed to interfere with the royal family, the other party said that it was His Majesty who sent people to assassinate him first, so this rule does not apply.
As for evidence, the words of the Martial Saint are the evidence.
No one would doubt what a Martial Saint says. If one has to choose credibility between the Emperor and the Martial Saint, most people would probably find the Martial Saint more convincing.
"Senior Lin, since this is a personal grudge, please do as you please. The four of us will take our leave now."
The four did not want to see the expressions of these ministers, so they greeted Lin Ye and left without hesitation.
The ministers were silent.
Many ministers looked at An Zisheng, but An Zisheng lowered his head and looked at his boots, as if those boots contained some secret of governing the country.
These ministers understood that Prime Minister An would not come out to smooth things over.
Emperor Shang Yuan snorted coldly, which was naturally directed to An Zisheng behind him, but An Zisheng just lowered his head a little.
"Lin Ye, I can compensate you. Just tell me what you want. As long as I have it, I can give it to you."
When Emperor Shang Yuan said this, the ministers were not surprised. Facing a martial saint, His Majesty's decision was not wrong.
Lin Ye did not respond. He believed that Liang Ziqing had already told Emperor Shang Yuan about his attitude.
When Lin Ye didn't answer, Emperor Shang Yuan's expression gradually turned cold, and finally he suddenly laughed: "If that's the case, then Lin Ye, don't blame me. Both of you, please come out."
