Doomsday Code

Chapter 529 Public Opinion Weapon

Although I don't know why Moss XIII suddenly had such a strong murderous intention, and even if he just mobilized the army privately.

Although this is also very serious, the result is still good, and it should not be possible to suddenly reveal such a strong murderous intent without any concealment.

Although he didn't understand, Soran knew that since he came here with Holmes, he must have been implicated by the old fox Holmes.

At this moment, Soran was filled with regret in his heart. He was really badly tricked by Holmes this time.

At this time, there was a strange silence in the bedroom. Holmes and Soran knelt on the ground and did not dare to look up.

Moss XIII was filled with murderous intent. Huidun and Chen Cheng, who were watching from the side, also had serious expressions with gleams in their eyes.

In this eerie quiet atmosphere.

Moss XIII suddenly sat down with his hand on his forehead, then he looked at Holmes who was kneeling on the ground and said:

"Do you have anything to explain?"

This may be the only affection he, as a monarch, has for Holmes, his subject with whom he has worked hand in hand for decades.

However, this time Holmes did not rush to explain. Instead, Soran beside him started to explain first.

"Your Majesty, I was truly wrong this time. I beg Your Majesty to remove me from my title and send me to prison. Whether it's exile or beheading, I have no complaints. I only ask for forgiveness for those uninformed soldiers who were deceived by me."

Soran found the right moment and immediately kowtowed and begged.

Although his sudden plea was politically stupid, he knew that he only had this chance. If he didn't say it and Moss XIII got too angry, then those soldiers would suffer from him.

Moss XIII looked at Soran expressionlessly. If he didn't know Soran inside and out, he would have suspected that Soran was also a man of the old man Holmes.

He deliberately brought out the 100,000 garrison troops at this time to threaten him.

At this time, Chen Cheng, who was watching the show, coughed, and then when Soran saw him, he pretended to be casual and said:

"Your Highness, your father-in-law is so bold. Right now, we are discussing their guilt for treason, and he actually dares to mobilize the army outside the city at this time. Isn't this an attempt to force the emperor to abdicate?"

His words, whether intentional or unintentional, scared Sauron so much that he almost died. He really didn't have any political ambitions, but that didn't mean he was really stupid.

After being reminded by Chen Cheng, he realized that they were now being charged with treason for privately mobilizing troops.

Chen Cheng saw that Sauron was really frightened, and now he really became more careful, so he changed his tone and said:

"Of course, I think your father-in-law is impeccable in leading troops, but when it comes to politics, he can only be described as a white lotus.

Moreover, such a situation might be caused intentionally by someone around His Highness's father-in-law, who might want to use His Highness's father-in-law, a political white lotus, to offend himself.

After all, it involves 100,000 soldiers. No matter how cruel and ruthless Your Majesty is, he has to consider what will happen if he forces them to rebel.

That would be a disaster no less severe than the one wrought by the gods themselves."

After Chen Cheng finished speaking, he smiled at Huidun beside him and said:

"Your Highness, why are you looking at me? I am just explaining the current situation to you."

At this moment, not only Huidun was looking at him, but Moss XIII was also looking at him with a depressed look.

Could it be that Moss XIII is such a cruel and ruthless person? Can't he see through this evil trick and need you to remind him?

Holmes also looked at him, but this time Holmes's face no longer had the ease he had when he was chatting and laughing with Chen Cheng in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Why are you all looking at me? Marquis Sauron, you are completely brainless, so don't say anything more."

Then he looked at Holmes and said:

"Why are you looking at me, Prime Minister? I don't have an answer on my face. Why don't you quickly make excuses to His Majesty... This shouldn't be an explanation."

This time, Sauron really had the urge to hit Chen Cheng in the face. Is he really that stupid? If he didn't care about his soldiers, he would have kept quiet if he could.

Then everyone in the bedroom looked at Holmes, waiting to see what explanation this old fox would come up with.

However, Holmes retracted his head and continued to keep his head down without saying a word.

The atmosphere in the bedroom was deadlocked.

Just when King Moss XIII was getting impatient waiting for his explanation, the guards outside the palace reported:

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister's retainer, Yuan Feng, is seeking an audience outside the palace. He said... he said..."

The guard began to hesitate when he said this.

Inside the bedroom, King Moss XIII glanced at Homuis, who was kneeling on the ground with his head bowed, and then said impatiently to the outside:

"Tell me exactly what he said."

"He said he was here to give His Majesty the Prime Minister's explanation."

In the bedroom, King Moss XIII was stunned for a moment, and then he heard a burst of laughter from his mouth.

"Well done, Mr. Yuan Feng, you are such a commoner, how dare you trespass into the palace? Take off your clothes and behead him!"

However, at this time, the guards outside knelt on the ground and said:

"Then Yuan Feng has something else to say. He said... he said..."

Moss XIII inside had lost his patience and roared angrily:

"Does my words mean shit? You just listen to Mr. Yuan."

"I dare not. That villain Yuan Feng said that if Your Majesty does not see him, you will execute him. After his death, rumors will spread immediately, saying that Your Majesty is a foolish and unjust tyrant who has abandoned the donkey after it has served its purpose."

After the guard finished speaking, he immediately threw his head to the ground and said:

"Your Majesty, calm down. The thief has been apprehended. We only need your order to execute him by slow slicing and pulverizing his bones."

Inside the bedroom, there was silence for a while, and then the voice of Moss XIII was heard.

"Take him..."

However, before Moss XIII could finish his words, Chen Cheng suddenly interrupted:

"Your Majesty, please do not listen to the words of this pretentious and showy person. Judging from the timing that this thief Yuan Feng has timed, it is obvious that he has planned this in advance.

The fact that he could grasp the opportunity so accurately shows that he has an accomplice in the palace, and this is not just one or two days, but an accomplice who is very familiar with Your Majesty.

This thief dared to collude with the palace, and even deliberately used mystique to say such treasonous words, which shows that he is very scheming. I think it is best to kill him directly."

Chen Cheng said this with murderous intent, and he didn't care at all about Holmes who was kneeling on the ground with his head down.

It was not that Chen Cheng had a brain attack, but he noticed what Yuan Feng said that there would be rumors after his death. It was obvious that this guy had found the best weapon to deal with the upper class in this era - public opinion.

Chen Cheng, who lives in the 21st century, is very clear about the power of public opinion. From ancient times to the present, no matter whether it is emperors, generals, or peddlers, when facing the trend of public opinion, they are just puppets.

If public opinion says you are good, then you are good; if public opinion says you are evil, then you are evil.

And this guy, who is not under the control of himself and Huidun, has also seen the killing weapon of public opinion. Even if he is not the one who really planned these things, but he dares to stand up, he must be killed to scare the monkeys.
