Chapter 157 That's called - deceiving the king!

Although Nan Yan also listened to them in his ears, for some reason, he was a little distracted and stood there blankly. At this time, the surroundings became quiet, and Jian Ruocheng next to him called her softly: "Mr. Si..."

She raised her head and said, "Ah?"

"The emperor asked you what news you have heard."

"Ah...? Ah!" She suddenly came to her senses. In a blink of an eye, she saw Zhu Feng looking at her coldly and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I have heard some news in the city. It seems that something strange about the attack on Yongzhou a while ago."

Zhu Feng looked at her for a while before slowly lowering his eyelids. The flashing gaze completely disappeared at this moment, as if it had been swallowed by the bottomless abyss.

Only a faint glow appeared in his dark pupils: "How strange?"

Nan Yan said: "The people in the town said that the battle didn't seem like a war."

"oh?"

Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.

At this time, Ye Zheng, who was standing behind him, also said, "Your Majesty, I have heard this in the town."

"Yeah?"

"Yes. Many people in the city are saying that although they dare not say anything clearly, it seems that everyone has a lot of opinions about that battle."

“…”

"In general, everyone thinks it doesn't seem like a war."

“…”

Zhu Feng was silent all the time, and the forced aura on his body became stronger and stronger. Just as everyone was a little worried, he suddenly sneered.

"It's not like he was fighting, but he reported his military achievements to the court and took so much money as the cost of repairing the city walls and raising the soldiers. So what was he doing?"

The few people looked at each other but didn't say anything.

Of course, everyone thought of a word to cheat.

However, to the emperor, it is not something that can be summarized by the word "deception".

That's called deceiving the king!

Zhu Feng slowly raised his head and glanced at them, saying, "Why don't you talk anymore?"

“…”

No one dares to speak.

Just like in the Wuying Hall in the imperial city, no one dared to say anything about this, because no one could afford to be accused of being apart from the flesh and blood.

Zhu Feng looked at them for a while and smiled faintly.

"That's all?"

Everyone was stunned again, not knowing what else he would ask.

Zhu Feng said: "Didn't you find out any news about Yue Kingdom?"

“…”

Nan Yan then remembered that what they found was about Yongzhou, King Jing, and his brother-in-law, and no one was concerned about the issue of Yue Kingdom.

Just then, someone knocked on the door outside.

Zhu Feng said: "Come in."

The door was pushed open, and everyone looked back and saw that it was Choi Won-mi who walked in from outside.

He was originally the chief minister of the Yan Prince's Mansion. After Zhu Feng ascended the throne, he transferred him to the Ministry of Revenue as the Left Minister. This time he went out for inspection, he still kept him by his side.

As soon as he walked in, he immediately leaned over and said, "Emperor."

Zhu Feng waved his hand and said, "You can avoid these false gifts when you go out. From now on, you can only call me the young master."

Everyone hurriedly said, "Yes, young master."

Zhu Feng then asked, "Yuanmei, how did you check the matter?"

Cui Yuanmei leaned over and said, "Young Master, I found out that there was a civil strife in Vietnam more than a year ago, which seemed to be a battle between the royal family. However, no one has reported this to the court."
