You are already cultivating immortality, who would fight with you alone?

"promise!"

After receiving the response, Liu Yuntian sat back on the python chair and said, "If you have something to report, please report it. If not, please leave the court."

Seeing that no one answered, he walked down the dragon platform and headed out of the hall.

When passing by Liu Ziqing, he smiled and said, "Father, let's go back together. Don't ride that mule anymore. I'll get you a spiritual beast to ride on someday."

"Humph!"

Liu Ziqing threw his sleeves and said angrily, "I can't stand the prestige of Mr. Liu. He killed a whole family in a casual conversation! Although a mule is lowly, he still knows his duty!"

As he was about to leave, Liu Yuntian grabbed the other person's arm and said, "No matter how well a mule knows its duty, it is still just a mule."

After that, he pointed at the ministers and continued, "Can't you learn from them? They try their best to get the money they have. You are the prime minister of a country, but you don't even have a carriage. How can you be so shameless?"

Liu Yuntian just pointed casually, but the minister who was pointed at knelt on the ground in panic and kowtowed repeatedly, "Mr. Liu, please be wise, Mr. Liu, please be wise, the money I embezzled was all within your rules, and I have never crossed the line!"

"Yes, Mr. Liu, I am willing to accept the review of the Jinyiwei. I have indeed not taken any extra money!"

"Mr. Liu, I feel the same way!"

Liu Ziqing looked at the ministers kneeling on the ground in disbelief and lamented, "What did you say when I recommended you? Didn't you want to be a good official who is honest and upright? You...you...Alas! It's a misfortune for the country!"

Seeing those ministers kneeling on the ground in great embarrassment, Liu Yuntian raised his lips slightly and put his arm around his father's shoulders.

"Father, a clean official for three years earns 100,000 silver coins. Those who don't harm the people are good officials who are honest and upright. If you feed them, the people under them can live well. If there are people who don't know how to behave and extend their hands too much, I will chop them off. Why get angry?"

"Birds of a feather, birds of a feather!"

Liu Ziqing pushed Liu Yuntian away and walked out of the hall angrily.

The ministers quickly gathered around and supported Liu Yuntian who was stumbling backwards. "Mr. Liu, how are you? Did you sprain your ankle?"

He steadied himself with the help of the crowd, rubbed his slightly thick right arm wrapped in white cloth, and said, "It's okay, let's go."

Then he pointed at the unconscious Hu Dianke on the ground and ordered, "Take Hu Dianke to Caishikou and have him torn to pieces."

"promise!"

Two Jinyiwei rushed into the hall, one on the left and one on the right, and carried Hu Dianke out of the palace.

Liu Yuntian also walked out of the palace. Many ministers along the way wanted to talk to him, but he ignored them.

"Nephew Liu!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Liu Yuntian turned around and saw that it was General Qi, one of the Three Dukes.

"Uncle Qi, what advice do you have?"

Taiwei Qi smiled and waved his hand, then quickly caught up with Liu Yuntian, and said, "It's not so much about giving me advice, but I want to thank you on behalf of the three million National Defense Army."

"No need to thank me. The National Defense Army is the fist and foot of Daliang. If you don't want to be bullied, your fists and feet must be strong enough."

General Qi laughed, stroked his beard and said, "No matter how strong your fists and feet are, they won't work without your backbone, right?"

Liu Yuntian stopped and looked at General Qi with empty eyes, "Uncle Qi, is there anything you need my help with?"

"Hehe, nothing can be hidden from you, my dear nephew."

Taiwei Qi smiled innocently, "You know, my uncle is a rough man, born in the military, and his two children are also born under me. The eldest son has been with you for a long time, so my uncle is naturally relieved. But my youngest son..."

Liu Yuntian wondered what the other party was going to say, so he felt relieved. As long as there was no problem with the National Defense Army, nothing would be a big deal!

Then he started walking again, "Qi Sheng has come to see me, and I have given him a job. If he does a good job, he can stay with me."

"Then uncle will be relieved! Hahaha, I'm not bragging, our two sons are not good at anything else but being obedient! Just like the rules you set, they will accomplish their missions by following your orders!"

Then he pointed at Liu Yuntian's right arm and asked, "Is that arm feeling uncomfortable recently? Xue'er's master has come out of seclusion a few days ago. Do you need her to re-seal it for you?"

Liu Yuntian pinched his right wrist and smiled, "I don't need Sister Xue'er to do me a favor. The seal is still solid. It's just that I sometimes have phantom pain, but it's nothing serious."

"Phantom limb pain?"

General Qi thought for a moment, hugged his arm and nodded, "I heard from my brothers before that those who broke their arms and legs cried out in pain. I don't understand, how can it hurt without an arm?"

Patting Liu Yuntian on the shoulder, he said with concern, "But if you feel any discomfort, please use the sound transmission stone to send a message to Xue'er and ask her master to come to Daliang to check your arm."

"Thank you very much for your kindness, uncle."

As they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the palace gate. General Qi looked at the three large characters above the palace gate and bowed, saying, "Uncle Zhongshengmen cannot leave. So I'll take my leave now."

Liu Yuntian also bowed, followed the guards to push open the door, and walked out.

"Are you tired, Mr. Liu?"

The commander of the imperial guards trotted over to greet him and wanted to support Liu Yuntian's right arm, but was blocked. The other party was not angry. He slapped his forehead and thought of something, and quickly switched to support the left arm.

When he came to the python chariot again, the guards had been waiting for a long time. Not far away, Ye Ling was staring at Liu Yuntian with a harsh look. If looks could kill, he would have died ten thousand times.

When Liu Yuntian saw the other party's eyes, his brows furrowed. He had never seen this man named Ye Ling before and didn't understand why this guy was so hostile to him.

He turned to look at the commander of the Imperial Guards, "Sir, who is this Ye Ling?"

The commander smiled and said, "Ah, I was inconsiderate and forgot to introduce him to Mr. Liu. This is indeed the first time you have met Ye Ling, but his mother is an old acquaintance of yours."

"Mother?"

Liu Yuntian looked at the other person strangely. This man named Ye Ling was obviously about the same age as him. His mother must be of the same generation as his parents, and must be in her forties at least. Liu Yuntian didn't like this!

Moreover, the Ye family is a royal family. Could it be that his mother was a concubine?

Thinking of this, Liu Yuntian's face darkened. The emperor had been hiding in the Tongxian Palace to practice Taoism all year round, leaving dozens of concubines in the harem staring blankly.

It is true that Liu Yuntian has great power in the court, but he has never messed with the emperor's women.

Is this a sensitive topic to be joked about? Public opinion is very fierce. If one piece of news spreads, three people will become a tiger. If things go wrong, Liu Yuntian might become a thief.

This character is going to collapse!

"You are not teasing me, are you? I am loyal to Your Majesty. When have I ever been familiar with the concubines?"

The commander of the imperial guards was stunned for a moment, then he figured out the key point and slapped himself on the mouth, "Ouch! Look at my stinky mouth, I misunderstood!"

After helping Liu Yuntian onto the python chariot, the commander of the imperial guards continued, "Ye Ling's mother is Princess Anyang! Do you remember?"

"Anyang?"
