The Legend of Zhu San
052: Recognition of the Prime Minister
‘Brothers and sisters .. We have met His Majesty the Emperor. He was very surprised and felt ..”
“Zeng Plisters .. Let Me alone deliver it!” Emperor Liu Feng's authoritative voice sounded cutting through Zheng An's sentence.
In a moment, all those in the room knelt down to pay their respects to Emperor Liu Feng who had come with the four elite Imperial guards.
Everyone stood up after the Emperor sat down and asked them all to stand up.
“General Duan Li .. Who was Killed and was in this Coffin.?”
Emperor Liu Feng immediately voiced his curiosity, upon seeing a Coffin inside the room.
“Old Fu, I, on behalf of the people of the Liu Empire, express my deep condolences for the death of your disciple.”
Emperor Liu Feng immediately paid his respects and remark to Fu Kuan after he received an explanation from General Duan Li without mentioning who the murderer was.
It was because of a request from Fu Kuan himself, he had a plan to make the two ungodly disciples let their guard down and show themselves his crimes.
“Thank you Your Majesty ..” Fu Kuan replied while replying to the respect of Emperor Liu.
Emperor Liu Feng then gave orders to the two soldiers to summon General Hu Bai and Prime Minister Xhu Shuen.
While waiting for the two to come, Emperor Liu Feng apologized to the surviving Sect chiefs for the danger that had threatened them all.
The guilt of what was now afflicting the Sect Chiefs was the very thing that Emperor Liu Feng was behaving in this manner. An unorthodox attitude was carried out by a great Emperor like him.
It made Fu Kuan, Lin Kai and the other white Flow swordsmen, feel touched to hear it and look more respectfully at Emperor Liu Feng.
They all knew already, Emperor Liu Feng was a wise, just Emperor and paid great attention to the welfare of his people.
That was what made some greedy Nobles dislike Emperor Liu Feng's rule.
Moments later, Commander Hung Bai arrives almost simultaneously with Prime Minister Xhu Shuen who is now forced to become a traitor in order to defend his family's life.
Luo San The God of Fire Fields who is also the Head of the Black Stream Alliance, has poisoned the Wife and the two Grandchildren of the prime minister Xhu Shuen.
Every once a week, Luo San gave him an antidote for poison in small amounts at a time.
Luo San's goal was to find out the movements of the Palace party by forcing Xhu Shuen to become a spy for the Alliance He led.
However, not all the information he had, Xhu Shuen gave it to Luo San.
The wife of Imperial Prime Minister Liu, who had grown tired of worrying over what her husband had to do, asked to end it all.
He asked Xhu Shuen to surrender himself and report what they had experienced for the past month to the Emperor.
That was why he suddenly prostrated himself to the Emperor, which made everyone surprised to see him.
“Prime Minister Shuen .. Wake up why are you doing so?”
The shocked Emperor immediately asked and ordered Xhu Shuen to stand up.
But the Prime Minister, who has chosen to die rather than be a traitor to the state, remains in his position while explaining what happened.
Emperor Liu Feng's face suddenly turned dark with wrath after hearing Xhu Shuen's explanation.
He also pulled out the sword of one of the elite guard soldiers behind him.
The Emperor immediately moved towards Prime Minister Xhu Shuen after saying half-cry.
No one dared to stop Emperor Liu Feng's anger other than Fu Kuan and Zheng An who immediately called out to him simultaneously.
“Yang Mulia ..”
The sword that had been above the Emperor's head and was about to swing, immediately came to a halt.
“Old Zheng why did you stop my intention? This traitor is very deserving to die.” Although he was angry Emperor Liu Feng still said politely to Zheng An.
No one knew if Emperor Liu Feng would ever prostrate to Zheng An when asking to be his disciple.
Emperor Liu Feng's closeness with Zheng An was not only limited to bodyguards and escorts.
Emperor Liu Feng always asked his personal bodyguards for advice, when they were alone.
That was why the Emperor lowered his sword, and again sat down in his chair while looking intently at Prime Minister Xhu Shuen who was still prostrating on him.
“Yang Mulia .. Forgive me if I have said presumptuous. According to the servant of the Prime Minister was forced while doing so.”
“The more days, the more he was tormented and chose death by confessing his selfish deeds.”
“According to the Servant, what He is doing right now, because He puts his Loyalty first to the noble by being honest, even though the death penalty awaits him. Servant Please Your Majesty to consider his punishment.”
Emperor Liu Feng was stunned to hear Zheng An's words. His respect for the old man, made him realize that he had almost lost control.
“Alright .. He will be imprisoned for a while, until the investigation of General Duan Li is completed.”
Emperor Liu Feng immediately began to discuss, after two Elite Guards brought Prime Minister Xhu Shuen to prison.
“Then how are our next steps?” Emperor Liu Feng gave a question to begin their discussion.
Fu Kuan immediately saluted before expressing his opinion.
“Your Majesty's servant and these two fellows and disciples of the servant, it is best to immediately go to the Prime Minister's residence to arrest Luo San and his three companions.”
Fu Kuan then explained further if Luo San might not have known at this time if his whereabouts had been known by all of them.
Emperor Liu Feng agreed, He will wait for the results of what they will do at this time.
He will interrogate Prime Minister Xhu Shuen along with General Duan Li.
Hao Jin and Shang Zuo asked to participate in Fu Kuan's plan, which was approved by Zhu San's first teacher.
While Qin Rui and the other five disciples were asked to escort the Emperor for a while, while Zheng An still came out of the Palace to capture the God of Fire Luo San.
Seven shadows immediately shot up from the back of the building where General Duan Li worked day-to-day.
Those seven people were martial world figures of the Liu Empire who possessed high-level martial skills.
So that in less than a minute, they had arrived at the enormous and majestic Xhu Shuen residence.
