Chapter 8 Sing a double act for the treacherous minister
"My king is mighty!"
It is hard to imagine that Bai Qi, a evil star who fought bloody battles on the battlefield, is now completely red-eyed.
There is a saying among military strategists: The first is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and the third is to attack the city.
The same is true for governing a country.
Cruel killing is at the bottom, and strategy is at the top!
"So Bai Qi, you shouldn't be desperate now and sacrifice your life for righteousness. You should understand what I mean, right?"
Under the dim candlelight, Bai Qi looked at these bottomless dragon eyes, and his heart trembled.
With a snap, he clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I will recruit eight hundred young female concubines. All of them must be sent to the harem within three days!"
"wrong!"
Um?
Bai Qi's pupils shrank!
Jiang Li said angrily: "You are going to be late, and you must be late!"
"What?!" Bai Qi was stunned, not understanding what His Majesty meant at all.
Jiang Li's eyes narrowed slightly, with an inexplicable light shining in his pupils.
"If you were the champion, would you take this opportunity to place chess pieces beside me?"
Jiang Li's voice was obviously light, but when it fell on Bai Qi's ears, it was like a bombshell!
In an instant, it dawned on me.
"Your Majesty, Bai Qi understands!"
In this quiet and peaceful ancestral temple, the waxy candlelight danced slightly.
The temperature is getting colder.
The night is getting darker.
…
In the next three days, things began to develop in an incredible direction.
In the past, Bai Qi, the God of War, was humiliated in the imperial court and raped and kidnapped stunning female concubines on a large scale within the dynasty. His methods were shameless and despicable, and he was despised by the people.
The Bai family is a family of generals. At its peak, it played a decisive role in the court of the Phoenix Dynasty. But now it continues to decline, and its reputation has been completely ruined.
When the traitorous party heard about this, they all clapped their hands and cheered.
In the past, most of them were overwhelmed by the Bai family, but now they are finally proud and proud.
The fence-sitters also lamented that the country could not lead the country. Under the huge pressure of the imperial power crisis, many people made choices.
His Majesty became even more ridiculous and announced that he would not attend the morning court for three days and return to the palace to have a baby.
The imperial city is about to change...
At this moment, Champion Hou, who was far away in Western Xinjiang, also got the news immediately.
At this time, the Chinese army's tent in Western Xinjiang was in full swing.
An armored figure stands alone.
Thousands of miles of majestic mountains and rivers, with the blue sky underfoot, the wild grass at the foot of the mountain becomes more and more prosperous like this ambition.
"The slave meets the champion, and the champion lasts for ten thousand years!"
Now in the Phoenix Dynasty, the champion is Tian.
With a popping sound, the emissary knelt on his knees and kowtowed three times.
He looked up at the majestic armored figure in front of him, still kneeling and prostrating.
Under the scorching sun, the messenger endured the scorching heat of the earth and sweated like rain.
After burning the incense, a surprised and indifferent voice echoed in the emissary's ears.
"How is the situation in the capital?"
"Replying to the champion, it's a letter sent by a flying pigeon from the imperial city!" The secret letter was presented with both hands and raised high above his head.
At this moment.
In the big tent.
There were hundreds of generals standing on both sides, with an unruly momentum. After hearing what happened in the court hall, they jumped up and the atmosphere in the entire tent instantly became restless!
"Bai Qi really asked Zhao to recruit eight hundred female concubines?"
"The Bai family has been loyal for generations, but your majesty is ignorant and immoral. You let the mighty God of War do such a despicable thing. This is even more shameful than killing him!"
"Haha, the Marquis is so powerful. If this happens, it's time for those old foxes who sit on the fence to make a choice!"
"Hmph! If Bai Qi dares to impeach the Marquis, it would be a shame to die!"
"..."
For a moment, laughter, anger and curses were everywhere.
As for Bai Qi's impeachment, no one cared about it at all.
Suddenly, the military tent became dark, and an icy chill overflowed.
For a moment, all the generals fell silent and closed their mouths in a tacit understanding, not daring to make a sound.
As the steady rhythm of footsteps sounded, the generals quickly stood in place, held their breath and concentrated, and listened.
Wow!
The figure slowly sat down, like a mountain falling from the sky, as heavy as a ten thousand stone.
The military tent also regained its brightness at this moment.
One of the military generals took a step forward and said respectfully: "Master Hou, the decline of the Bai family is a great good thing for us. Without Bai Qi, the military power will be under our control from now on, and no one can threaten us anymore.
"
"However, as a sign of humiliation, after Bai Qi completes the emperor's order, Bai Qi's car will be broken into pieces!"
Once a word is said, of course there will be some flatterers.
"That's right, although Bai Qi is like a grasshopper in autumn and won't be able to jump around for long!"
As the man spoke, he put his hand on his neck in the shape of an upright knife, as if wiping his neck, with murderous intent evident.
Everyone agreed.
However, as a cold eye slightly raised, the generals felt a chill behind them, and the military tent fell into a dead silence again.
The next moment, a vicissitudes of life and cold voice echoed endlessly.
"Transfer orders..."
"The slave is here!"
The messenger's face tightened, and he trotted over quickly, walked to the champion, and leaned over to listen, and nodded repeatedly.
After half a payment, the secret envoy knelt on the ground and gave a deep drink.
"As you command!"
After saying that, he stood up and strode away.
Not long after, a homing pigeon flew out of the sky from the foot of Fulong Mountain and flew back to the imperial city thousands of miles away...
…
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, there are hundreds of officials.
This was the first morning court meeting in three days. Different from the bustle and bustle of the past, all the civil and military officials in the entire hall stood aside honestly.
Ridicule, helplessness, gloating, joking,...all kinds of expressions, including Xia Houbeng, all looked at the same person at the same time - Bai Qi!
On the dragon throne, the emperor's face had become extremely gloomy.
The next moment, Long Yan glanced over, and the voice was full of anger, obviously suppressing the anger in his heart.
"Bai Qi, how did you go about recruiting eight hundred female concubines within three days?"
As the voice fell, the court fell into silence.
Bai Qi was appointed by His Majesty to recruit eight hundred female concubines, but he has not yet returned.
This is already deceiving you!
Placing this blame on any official would be enough to frighten him, but Bai Qi looked calm at this moment, with no trace of panic on his face.
Bai Qi looked indifferent and walked out of the crowd of officials, cupping his hands slightly.
"Your Majesty, I am not good at this. I hope your Majesty will grant you another three days of grace!"
"Shut up!" Suddenly, a roar erupted, shocking all the civil and military officials to tremble!
With a snap, Jiang Li immediately slapped the case and stood up, shouting angrily!
"I give you three days, just limit it to three days. Don't think that because you are a relative of the emperor, I won't dare to kill you!"
Jiang Li was furious, and all the ministers were secretly proud, wishing that the emperor would destroy the entire Bai family in anger.
"Send my order!"
"Bai Qi delayed the emperor's order and despised the king."
"Search the entire Bai family."
"Removing Bai Qi from the post of Minister of Rites and demoting him to the post of Grand Administrator of Xiang County in South Vietnam!"
"As for his father Bai Haoran, he should have been punished together."
"I thought that he was a veteran of three dynasties, so I appointed him as the messenger of immortality in the East China Sea to search for the elixir of life for me, Jiang Gong said."
"If you can't find the elixir for a day, you won't be allowed to step into the Phoenix Dynasty for the rest of your life, otherwise you will be killed without mercy!"
As soon as these words came out, it was like a peerless storm sweeping across, and all the civil and military officials in the court were horrified!
What!
Bai Qi's house was confiscated and he was demoted to be the governor of Xiang County!
And ordered his father to find the elixir of life?
Isn't this a joke? The elixir is a rumored divine item. Anyone who is not a fool will not believe that this legend is true.
The Bai family is full of loyal people.
Bai Qi used to be known as the God of War.
But it was a great contribution to the dynasty!
But now His Majesty doesn't miss the old feelings at all. Bai Haoran is now an octogenarian and has inconvenient legs and feet, so he actually asked him to travel long distances to find the elixir?
Chapter completed!
