C457 A Thought of Life and Death

"In terms of talent and character, Mu Yan is not as good as Crown Prince, and he doesn't dare have any improper thoughts about the throne. However, he didn't expect Royal Father to pass the throne to me before his death. Although I don't know what Royal Father's intention is, but since this is the old man's wish, Mu Yan can only obey it. "

As soon as these words were spoken, none of the officials believed it. They thought to themselves. If even you, a Martial King, don't covet the throne, then there won't be any good or evil in this world. However, when it came to Mu Yan's shamelessness, the officials could only feel resentment in their hearts. They would never dare to show it on their faces.

Mu Yan continued, "Initially, I planned to announce this matter to the public after dealing with Royal Father, but I didn't expect the Crown Prince to find out about it. Perhaps because he was unwilling to let the throne be taken away by me, the Crown Prince conspired with Four Great Generals to instigate a rebellion. Fortunately, Royal Father had personally taught Mu Yan the Nine Palace Eight Trigrams Formation. With this formation, he suppressed the Crown Prince in the Limitless Palace. This is all that has happened. Do any of you have any more questions?"

"Martial Prince has put in a lot of effort, and this old official admires him. However, just this alone is not enough to convince everyone, right?" Ye Wu paused and said: "I wonder if Your Highness can release the Crown Prince temporarily to have a confrontation in court. If what Martial Prince said is true, then we will not have any objections regarding the succession of the throne. "

"Oh?" Mu Yan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes. "Could it be that the Prime Minister is suspecting me?"

Ye Wu hurriedly said, "I don't dare. I am just talking about facts. I think if Martial Prince really has a clear conscience, this confrontation will only let us see the true face of the Crown Prince. It will not be a bad thing for Your Highness or us. I think all the colleagues in the court should think the same way. "

It must be said that Ye Wu had quite a high prestige in the court. As soon as he said that, several officials ignored Mu Yan's murderous look and said frankly, "We also think that what Lord Ye said is reasonable. We hope that Martial Prince will agree!"

Mu Yan lowered his head and remained silent. After a long while, he finally raised his head and looked at the others. He faintly asked, "Do you all think so too?"

The expressions of all the officials changed. They either shook their heads to deny it or hesitated to speak. In short, they all had different expressions.

At this moment, Mu Yan faintly glanced at Grand Tutor Lin. The latter understood what he meant and immediately stood up to refute Ye Wuye. "Since Martial Prince was able to obtain the Wind Howl Sword, it means that the previous emperor trusts His Highness. There is no need to frame Crown Prince. Therefore, this old official believes that there is no point in interrogating him. There is no need to bring it up again!"

These words immediately caused quite a stir. A few of the officials who were secretly recruited by Mu Yan also nodded in agreement. They used this to support Grand Tutor Lin. Of course, most of them still maintained a wait-and-see attitude. Without a doubt, this was the way of a smart person and also the way to protect oneself.

"There is no need to fear Ying Xie when you are in the right. If Martial Prince is in the right, he will definitely not feel embarrassed about this matter. Why would he be afraid of being questioned?"

Military Minister Liu Hong stepped forward and said righteously.

The Punishment Minister sneered and said, "Sir Liu, as far as I know, you have always been close to the Crown Prince. I'm afraid you are trying your best to get Martial Prince to release the Crown Prince. You must have some ulterior motive. "

"Nonsense!" Liu Hong glared at him and snapped, "Wen Fei, we are obviously talking about the Crown Prince. Why do you want to change the topic and frame me?"

Wen Fei immediately laughed sinisterly and said in a harsh tone: "Framing? Isn't it the truth?"

Liu Hong said angrily, "Of course not!"

"Enough already!" Finally, Mu Yan could not take it anymore. He shouted angrily and interrupted everyone's argument. He looked at Ye Wen, who had been silent just now, and asked in a low voice, "Lord Ye, do you want me to release the Crown Prince?"

Ye Wudao said, "I just want the Crown Prince to confront me. If everything is as Martial Prince said, and the Crown Prince was the one who rebelled, then the crime will naturally be the same as the crime. We will never ask about it. "

Little did he know that Mu Yan was listening to him. His voice turned completely cold. "What if I don't agree?"

As soon as he said that, The entire hall fell silent. No one had expected Mu Yan to reject the offer so straightforwardly in front of so many people. He didn't show any mercy at all. Suddenly, Ye Wu's face turned stiff and he said faintly, "Then please forgive this old official for not agreeing with Your Highness's coronation. Farewell!"

After saying that, Ye Wu turned around resolutely. He walked out of the hall without turning his head back. When everyone saw this, they all sucked in a breath of cold air. They sighed in their hearts that Ye Wu was indeed worthy of being called the Iron Blood Prime Minister. He was truly ruthless and ruthless. Since you don't give me face, then I will make it even more difficult for you to get off the stage! Mu Yan's facial expression turned extremely ugly in an instant. Killing intent emerged in his widened eyes.

"Martial Prince, please forgive us for taking our leave!"

At this moment, Minister of War Liu Hong and the others cupped their fists at Mu Yan, then turned around and left. This action had undoubtedly infuriated Mu Yan, and blue veins could be seen on his forehead. It was obvious that he was trying his best to suppress his anger.

Finally, just as Ye Wu and the others were about to step out of the hall, Mu Yan couldn't help but shout, "Prime Minister!"

Ye Wu immediately turned around and looked at Mu Yan with confusion, "Martial Prince, is there anything else?"

In an instant, all the officials admired and respected Ye Wuye. With just his words and actions, he had caused the Martial King's coronation to lose its color and become difficult to carry on. After that, he even dared to pretend to be ignorant like the Martial King. Other than Ye Wu, the Iron Blood Prime Minister, there was no one else in the court. Who else had such courage?!

Even the Zhenyuan Great General Zhao Gu, who had spent his entire life in war and had made countless illustrious contributions to the Great Yaen, would never be more capable than him.

"Nothing much. I just want to remind Lord Ye that the death of twenty-three officials in the court has yet to be closed, which means that the murderer is still free from the law. As a pillar of the Great Yaen, it is inevitable that Lord Ye will not be targeted by the bandits. Therefore, on the way out of the Palace, Lord Ye, be careful. " Mu Yan said faintly, but he emphasized the last few words.

As soon as he said that, the expressions of the officials changed. Even though they were not as shocked as Ye Wu, they could not help but frown slightly. Within a short two hours, twenty-three officials died one after another. Everyone knew who had such courage and means in the court. Now that Mu Yan had suddenly said those words, Ye Wu and the others naturally knew what he was trying to say.

"Martial Prince, could it be that you are threatening us?"

Without waiting for Ye Wu to express anything, Minister of War Liu Hong was the first to ask impatiently. He was one of the few officials in the court who had real power other than Prime Minister Ye Wu and Zhen Yuan Great General Zhao Gu. At this moment, he was naturally more confident than the others to openly oppose Mu Yan.

"Mu Yan was just reminding the lords out of good intentions. Since Sir Liu doesn't appreciate it, just leave for now. Just pretend that Mu Yan never said those words. "

Hearing this, Mu Yan repeatedly denied it. However, his voice suddenly lowered again. He laughed inexplicably. "Life and death only depends on a single thought. Do you want to live or die?"
