Chapter 153 Resistance and Disobedience
Prime Minister Wang could no longer bear it, and he snatched the pistol from a Jinyiwei subordinate and pointed it at Xu Feng's forehead, "Xu Feng, you are simply courting death."
"Prime Minister, you must not be impulsive."
At this moment, Mr. Zhuge was really anxious. He wanted to rush forward immediately. Even if he couldn't fight with the opponent, he could at least stand in front of Xu Feng.
Xu Feng secretly gave Mr. Zhuge a reassuring look, then shook his head at him.
Mr. Zhuge then suppressed his worries and stood where he was. Although he looked calm on the surface, he was actually already anxious in his heart.
Mr. Zhuge was so smart that he knew that this was a trap set by Xu Feng specifically for Prime Minister Wang.
The Embroidered Uniform Guard was an office established by the emperor himself. If today's events were to reach the emperor's ears, even if Prime Minister Wang did not die, he would be seriously injured.
Prime Minister Wang was probably the only one in the entire Dashun Dynasty who rashly took action against the Jinyiwei right under the emperor's feet.
At this moment, Prime Minister Wang's face seemed to have been distorted, and he glanced around.
"You are so bold! You are relying on Xu Feng's support. Now you don't even take me, the dignified Prime Minister, seriously, do you?"
"If a tiger doesn't show its might, do you really think this Prime Minister is a sick cat?"
"Prime Minister, please restrain yourself. A pistol is just as lethal as a cannonball. If you fire this bullet, there will be no room for maneuver."
"Besides, the Prime Minister has devoted himself to the cause for so many years, and has made many contributions to our Dashun Dynasty..."
Xu Feng kept praising Prime Minister Gao Wang in order to confuse his mind.
"Xu Feng, if you don't kneel down and apologize again, don't blame me for being rude. And you must hand over Honglian, the culprit."
At this time, Prime Minister Wang was almost mad with anger. Even if he couldn't drag Xu Feng into the water, it was naturally no problem for him to deal with a little weak woman.
"Prime Minister, please don't swing your gun around. If someone dies, His Majesty will definitely hold you accountable."
Xu Feng shot a sarcastic look at Prime Minister Wang.
"His Majesty has personally issued an order, ending this matter. You still dare to come to the Jinyiwei to provoke me. This is clearly disobeying the order."
"you you you……"
Prime Minister Wang could no longer control himself. Since Xu Feng was determined to go the dark way, he would follow him today.
Then he lowered the gun from Xu Feng's head to between his legs, "What have you done to our Qiang'er? Today I will make you the same."
"don't want……"
Mr. Zhuge leaped forward and tried to snatch the pistol from Prime Minister Wang's hand, but he was still a step too slow.
"Snapped……"
In anger, Prime Minister Wang immediately pulled the trigger.
The hand dropped as the gun fired, but no flame came out of the muzzle.
"This……"
Prime Minister Wang looked at the pistol in his hand with some surprise.
At this time, Mr. Zhuge finally understood.
It turned out that Xu Feng had long anticipated that Prime Minister Wang would wait for an opportunity to take revenge, and had planned everything early on.
The Jinyiwei subordinates closest to Prime Minister Wang had no ammunition in their guns.
"Prime Minister Wang, you've made enough noise today. Please go back."
Xu Feng's expression suddenly turned serious. "I understand you, but that doesn't mean that I, the Jinyiwei, am easy to bully."
"you……"
"The imperial edict arrives..."
Suddenly, the voice of Eunuch Gao came from outside. Under the protection of a group of imperial guards, Eunuch Gao walked into the Jinyiwei yamen holding the imperial edict.
"Prime Minister Wang, Lord Xu, please accept the order."
"Long live the Emperor, long live, long live the Emperor!"
Prime Minister Wang and Xu Feng both knelt on the ground.
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Prime Minister Wang and Xu Feng are summoned to the palace together."
Eunuch Gao closed the imperial edict expressionlessly, then handed it to Xu Feng, and looked at Prime Minister Wang with a meaningful look.
Prime Minister Wang has been an official in the court for many years, so this is naturally not his first time dealing with Eunuch Gao.
He knew very well that his actions today had completely angered the emperor.
Prime Minister Wang and Xu Feng followed Eunuch Gao into the palace with expressionless faces.
The magnificent imperial palace sparkles in the sun like a dazzling jewel castle, demonstrating power and glory.
"You two follow me into the palace."
"Yes."
Unexpectedly, as soon as Prime Minister Wang walked into the hall, he was hit on the head by an inkstone thrown by the emperor.
"Wang Cheng, you are so bold that you dare to openly disobey the emperor's order. Do you still regard me as the emperor?"
"Xu Feng, the commander of the Jinyiwei, has made great contributions to the country. Who gave you the courage to cause trouble in the Jinyiwei yamen?"
"I already know the whole story. Originally, because of your diligence and loyalty to the country, I didn't want to pursue your son's crime of trespassing and stealing weapons. However, I didn't expect that you would not repent and discipline your son strictly, but instead put the blame on others."
"Do you still look like a prime minister?"
The emperor had long been dissatisfied with Prime Minister Wang's monopolization of power.
Now that I have finally caught the other party's fault, I will naturally not let it go easily.
"Your Majesty, I..."
Prime Minister Wang immediately prostrated himself on the ground and kowtowed like a chicken pecking at rice.
He was speechless for a moment and couldn't figure out the result.
"Prime Minister Wang, please rest in peace in your residence and take care of your injured son. As for the affairs of the court, let the six ministries discuss them together first."
"His Majesty……"
Prime Minister Wang was horrified and looked at the emperor in panic.
"enough!"
The emperor stared at Prime Minister Wang with anger, "This matter has been decided. No further discussion is allowed."
"The minister obeys the order."
After Prime Minister Wang left, the emperor immediately put on a friendly look and stared at Xu Feng.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Xu. However, I have heard that pistols can inflict considerable damage and are also easy to carry. My Imperial Guards..."
"Your Majesty, I promise to manufacture a batch of pistols within three months to supply the Imperial Guards with weapons."
"it is good……"
The emperor immediately smiled happily.
"Eunuch Gao bestowed upon Lord Xu a golden medal of immunity from death."
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Eunuch Gao immediately handed the Dashun Dynasty's golden medal of immunity from death to Xu Feng.
"Congratulations, Master Xu. Congratulations, Master Xu."
"Since the founding of the Dashun Dynasty, no more than three people have survived and received the golden medal of immunity from death. Lord Xu will surely have a bright future."
"I thank the emperor for his trust."
After Xu Feng received the golden medal of immunity from death, he bowed respectfully to the emperor.
"No need to be polite, my dear Lord Xu."
"Eunuch Gao, please give me a seat."
"As ordered."
Seeing this, Xu Feng knew that the emperor had important matters to discuss with him, and he immediately became extremely alert.
"In three days, the envoys from the Samarkand Khanate in the Western Regions will arrive in Dashun and Daqing. I assign you to receive and protect the envoys."
