7963 Chapter 7961-
After all, Liu Ziyu was the new emperor of the Hong Shang Empire. The Hong Shang Empire was under the jurisdiction of the long state conferred Kingdom, and the long state conferred Kingdom was under the jurisdiction of the Hong Shang Commandery.
As a regional King, even if he was Liu Ziyu’s relative, it was a little too much for him to do this.
Therefore, there must be something fishy going on. He guessed that these people were going to do something.
The two of them spoke softly, and soon, they saw a group of people entering the square in the distance.
The bodies of the Wind and Fire Army had already been moved away, and Tuoba tuo had quietly left without even daring to say goodbye.
The bloodstains on the ground had faded after being washed with clean water a few times. It was almost impossible to tell that a small-scale one-sided slaughter had just taken place here.
“Why is there so much water here? isn’t the person in charge of cleaning the Imperial Palace too irresponsible? I’ll have to teach them a good lesson later. ”
Sima Yun Fei followed beside Sima Zheng Xin. When they passed by the area where the blood had just been washed, he frowned and mumbled with a face full of dissatisfaction, as if he was the master of the palace.
“Cousin Zhong da, should we go down and welcome him?”
Liu Ziyu was a little apprehensive. He had yet to fully adapt to his identity as the Emperor.
The people who came down were basically all elders. Even Sima Zhongxiao, who was of the same generation, was considered a cousin. It was impolite to look down at them.
Lin Yi frowned as he shook his head,”No need, you are the Emperor. It’s already enough for you to receive me outside the main hall!”
What Sima Yunfei said just now, the people outside the hall couldn’t hear it, but Lin Yi heard it very clearly, so he was a little unhappy.
Sure enough, this guy had come up with a trick!
They were just from a small Commandery, and the Emperor had personally sent a Messenger. How dare they be late!
Lin Yi could overlook the fact that they were late, considering that they were his elders, but he couldn’t just order them around like they were the Masters of the palace!
Liu Ziyu wanted to say something but stopped himself. In the end, he did not say anything.
Since Lin Yi had already spoken, he would just follow his orders out of habit. In terms of relationship, Lin Yi was the one who was part of the Sima family, and he was even closer to Lin Yi.
The speed of the Sima clansmen was neither fast nor slow. However, with the Emperor personally waiting outside the main hall, and with all the civil and military officials standing alongside them, this speed seemed a little too fast.
Under normal circumstances, they should have run as fast as they could upon seeing such a scene!
So what if he was the emperor’s relative? Could they ignore the might of the Imperial power?
Look at the Prince of the long bang, isn’t he also standing obediently and respectfully at the side?
To be honest, all the officials were already dissatisfied. They were all convinced by Lin Yi and Liu Ziyu, but who were Sima zhengxin and the others?
It was just an insignificant Commandery under a conferred Kingdom. In the eyes of the officials in the imperial capital, the Commandery King was probably just a rich man in the countryside!
When the Sima family finally made it up the stairs, Sima Yun smiled at Lin Yi and Liu Ziyu.
However, in front of everyone, he couldn’t just come up and reminisce about the past.
“Your Majesty …”
Sima Yun was just about to bow to Liu Ziyu. Although he had raised him since he was young, Liu Ziyu was now the Emperor. He knew his limits and had to bow first.
However, Sima Yunqi had just made a move, and before Liu Ziyu could even open his mouth to stop him, Sima Yunfei suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled Sima Yunqi away.
“Second brother, wait a moment. There are some things that aren’t clear yet. Why are you randomly bowing?”
Sima Yunfei unhappily glared at the dumbfounded Sima You Yun, then turned to Liu Ziyu and said,””Liu Ziyu, don’t you know how to greet your elders? Is this how our Sima clan has taught you?”
Liu Ziyu was slightly taken aback. He didn’t mind greeting the elders first, but in this era, it was all about father and son!
As the Emperor, it wasn’t without reason that he was called a lonely man.
First of all, the Emperor was the Emperor of the country, so all the elders should be discussed first about the sovereign and his subjects, then the seniority within the family!
According to the rules, Sima Yun Fei should greet the Emperor first. Then, the Emperor would decide how to greet his uncle according to his mood!
Of course, Liu Ziyu would definitely respect Sima Zheng Xin, his maternal grandfather, and Sima Yun Qi, who had raised him since he was young.
The civil and military officials behind Liu Ziyu were all filled with righteous indignation, but this was the emperor’s family matter. As officials of a fallen country, even if they wanted to show off, they did not dare to stand out on this matter. They could only forcibly endure it for now.
Only Lin Yi didn’t care, he directly stood in front of Liu Ziyu and greeted Sima zhengxin and Sima Yunqi, then sneered,””Big Uncle is so impressive, you dare to be so unscrupulous in front of the Emperor! Let’s forget about it this time. If you have anything to say, just say it!”
“Hehe, another disrespectful thing!”
Sima Yunfei snorted and glanced at Lin Yi before turning to Liu Ziyu,””Liu Ziyu, let’s make things clear today!”
“Please speak, uncle!”
Liu Ziyu had a bad feeling in his heart, but he was still very polite and did not flare up.
Lin Yi knew that Sima Yunfei was looking for trouble, so he didn’t stop him. Let’s watch his performance first!
Lin Yi felt like something was wrong the moment these people came in.
“Good! Since you still acknowledge me as your uncle, then let me ask you, who was the one who conquered the Shanlian Empire?”
Si Ma Yun smiled arrogantly. Those who didn’t know the situation would think that he was the one who had destroyed the Shanlian Empire.
Liu Ziyu blinked. This was a simple question, and everyone in the world knew about it, so he answered honestly,””It was cousin Zhong da who led Ziyu and the brothers of the guards unit to destroy the Shanlian Empire!”
“Well said! What is the name of the new empire?”
Sima Yunfei continued to ask questions. The questions were still very simple, and even a three-year-old child in the entire imperial capital could answer them.
“Hong Shang Empire!”
Liu Ziyu was not a three-year-old child, but he could only fall into Sima Yunfei’s rhythm.
“It’s obvious that the Hongshang Empire was born from the Hongshang Commandery, right?”
Sima Yunfei looked at Liu Ziyu intently. When he saw him nod, he immediately continued,””Who is in charge of Hongshang Commandery now? What is the surname of the regional King?”
Although Liu Ziyu’s expression was already not too good, he had to answer Sima Yunfei,””The Sima family is in charge of Hongshang Commandery now. The Junwang is my maternal grandfather, so naturally, his surname is Sima!”
“Very good! Since the Hongshang Empire was born out of the Hongshang Commandery, and the Sima family was in charge of the Hongshang Commandery, and this Empire was conquered by Sima Zhong da and the Sima family’s soldiers, then let me ask you!”
Taking a step forward, Sima Yunfei approached Liu Ziyu and asked in a stern voice,””Why is the Emperor of the Hong Shang Empire not someone from the Sima clan, but you, Liu Ziyu?”
