As soon as the genius showed a glimmer of light, three or two soldiers yawned and pushed open the city gate. Erheizi stood in front of the gate with a sleepy look on his face and stretched out, but suddenly felt a coldness on his forehead. He subconsciously
He reached out and wiped it...
"Blood!"
"Ah! Then, what is that?!"
"my God!"
The frightened voice made Erheizi stiffen his arms. He slowly raised his head following the gazes of everyone, and cried out. Those small eyes were suddenly enlarged several times, and he seemed to be convulsing.
He raised his hand and saw that what he was holding was a piece of broken... human skin!
Ah!
Erheizi screamed silently, rolled his eyes, and fell to the ground with a thud.
The morning light fell on the solemn city wall, and in the cool morning breeze, countless corpses were strung together like wind chimes and hung on the city gate tower. Blood was left along the gaps in the blue stone bricks.
Down, looking from a distance, it looks like strips of bloody ivy...
"What are you looking at! Put down...those corpses quickly!" The team leader was the first to react. He shouted coldly, and people had already rushed to the tower.
Nalan Qing, who had just come out of Nalan's mansion and was about to go do something, looked at the corpses hanging on the city wall from a distance. His expression changed, he gave a cold shout, turned his horse's head, and galloped away in the direction of his own mansion...
…
In the splendid Grand Palace, the emperor looked down at the group of courtiers below, with a gentle smile on his face, but the light in his eyes seemed particularly deserted.
Over the past few days, the Longyuan Empire has almost become a vegetable market, with bloodshed, murders, and all kinds of things happening constantly. Even the Fengxiang Empire in the west dared to join in the fun, and even his imperial sister was persecuted...
"I have this report. In recent days, the auction of Tianji Tower has caused tens of thousands of armed fights. Tianji Tower beheaded one person alive on the Star Picking Tower, causing the entire imperial capital...the entire imperial capital to be rotten and defiled...
Really, you don’t take the king’s law into your heart!”
In the Jinluan Palace, an old man's throat trembled for a while, but he finally endured the churning in his stomach and said: "So I ask the emperor to punish Tianji for disturbing the public order!"
Yu Wenlong's thoughts were interrupted by these passionate speeches, but he was not annoyed. He glanced at the old foxes under the court, his eyes especially wandering around Nalan, Duanmu and the Chu family.
Then he said calmly: "What other memorials does Liu Aiqing have?"
The old man was the head of the remonstrance officer, the chief censor, Liu Ye, who was in charge of the remonstrance matter. Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor had no intention of pursuing Tianji Tower, he turned his attention in another direction.
"Your Majesty, I still have this memorial." Liu Ye called out in a long voice, unhurriedly.
"speak."
"Your Majesty, I report that this morning, there were more than ten corpses hanging on the city gate... dripping with blood, and the state of death was horrific... I want to impeach the Chu family for neglecting their duties and humiliating people at the gate of the country!"
For a moment, everyone's attention, including His Majesty's, turned to Chu Lie. Because Chu Yuntian was "seriously injured", Chu Lie was pulled out to hold the vat. He had been attending the court meetings these days.
But when everyone saw it, the corners of their eyes suddenly twitched. Chu Lie, an old guy, was sleeping soundly leaning against the pillar in the hall, smashing his mouth, not knowing what he was dreaming about.
Nalan Wenyu, who was standing closest, tugged at Chu Lie's sleeve, but was slapped red on the hand. Nalan Wenyu was so annoyed that he immediately ignored him.
"Are you tired, old marshal?" Yu Wenlong smiled faintly, his voice was slightly louder, and he said gently: "I know that Yuntian has been recuperating recently, and it is really a sin to let the old marshal come. Haha, it seems that Long
Yuan is really helpless without the Chu family."
After saying this sentence, many officials shouted "Long Live Wise", but they did not dare to answer. As the saying goes, a country cannot live without a king for a day, but it does not mean that a country cannot live without a king for a day, but it does not mean that a country cannot live without anyone else.
"Well..." It seemed that he was awakened by the shout of long live. Chu Lie apologized with a look of shame on his face: "Your Majesty, forgive me, I... I am old, and I fell asleep accidentally..."
Everyone felt contempt in their hearts, but they remembered clearly that a few days ago, this old guy and his son were so energetic that they turned every official's house in the imperial capital upside down. Why isn't he older?
"That little bastard Chu Kuang disappeared for a few days a few days ago, which made the Chu family restless. Alas, Yuntian worked hard and the injuries on his body have become somewhat recurring. Your Majesty, there is no need to worry." Chu Lie had an angry expression on his face.
, but everyone can see the proud smile in his eyes.
"Now that the old marshal has spoken, I still have my original report!" Liu Ye walked out of the team with a calm expression and said with cupped hands: "A few days ago, Marshal Chu and General Chu seriously disturbed the peace of the imperial capital on the pretext of looking for someone.
Holding military power but causing military chaos is regarded as disloyal; being unsatisfied at home and causing trouble to the people is regarded as unjust; this kind of disloyal and unjust behavior is actually worse than Tianji Tower. I ask the emperor to severely punish Chu
Home is what it is!”
After Liu Ye finished speaking, he lowered his head, took three steps and two steps, and immediately shrank back into the team.
There was a sudden silence in the court hall, and everyone's eyes turned to the emperor's face.
"Liu Ye, you old boy! I have tolerated you for a long time!" Just as everyone was speculating about His Majesty the Emperor's attitude, they heard a sudden thunderous explosion in the hall, followed by a scream.
"Ahhh! You, Chu Lie, you are such an old man! I am also a veteran of three dynasties. How can you, you, such an old man... Oops!"
While everyone was stunned, Chu Lie had already kicked Liu Ye's butt three times. He knew very well that if he had slowed down, he would have been pulled away by those people. He was holding it in his heart while venting his anger.
Extremely.
This old boy is a veteran of three dynasties, and so is he! Ever since he became the censor, he has seemed to have a grudge against the Chu family, impeaching and impeaching endlessly every day... Today, he was finally beaten by him
Ah! It really relieves your anger!
"Hey! You can't do it! You can't do it, old marshal!" Everyone swarmed up, some pulled his arms, some hugged his thighs, and finally pulled Liu Ye out from under Chu Lie's feet.
"I...I...Old Minister...Old Minister...Your Majesty will make the decision for me..." Liu Ye threw his hair on the ground and cried angrily, "Old minister, three generations of veterans, now...now let Chu Lie...
The old man is in court..."
"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, your Majesty can't see clearly from whom Chu Kuang, the playboy, learned from. For the current plan, the only way is to catch Chu Kuang and fire the genius Chu Yun... Uh.
…”
"Boom!"
A boot flew out of nowhere and hit Liu Ye on the head, who was eloquently admonishing. The old man rolled his eyes, fell to the ground, and did not move again.
"Old man, did our Chu family dig up your ancestral grave or robbed your mother? Humph, why didn't you tell His Majesty to behead me?"
Chu Lie broke away from the group of stupid birds that were holding him, patted his robe domineeringly, walked to Liu Ye's side in a hurry, picked up the boots and put them on, he smiled, feeling particularly happy.
.
"emperor!"
"emperor!"
…
Seeing Chu Lie being so unrestrained and even knocking Liu Ye unconscious with his stinky shoe, his admonishers and apprentices immediately went crazy, and each one started accusing him with blood and tears.
"That's enough! What a mess it's been like?! Retreat!"
His Majesty the Emperor gave a loud shout and walked away, waving his sleeves.
When the civil servants saw that His Majesty did not make the decision, they immediately acted like dead parents. They glared at Chu Lie's back fiercely, with a cold look in their eyes. They had already begun to think about how they would arrange this old man's work after they returned.
A common man.
"Old Marshal, please stay!"
Chu Lie had just stepped out of the hall when he heard a spy's voice coming from the side. A young eunuch ran over with a charming smile on his face: "Old Marshal, please go slowly. Your Majesty invites you to go to the imperial study room."
.”
Chu Lie secretly thought in his heart, ignored everyone's various looks, and turned around.
"How is the old marshal's health recently?" In the imperial study, Yu Wenlong had a gentle smile on his face. He personally poured a cup of tea for Chu Lie and handed it over.
Chu Lie quickly accepted it, thanked him, and then replied: "I am getting older, and my body is becoming more and more useless. I actually fell asleep during the morning session today. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"It doesn't matter, it's not a big deal." Yu Wenlong chuckled and shook his head, tapped his fingers lightly on the desk, and suddenly said: "I heard that Chu Kuang has made great progress recently. He is also older.
He's not young anymore, why not join the imperial court and become an official? The empire's army will always be in the hands of the Chu family, so I can rest assured."
ps: The classification list has reached second place, wow...
