Qi Juesu turned his hand, and a soft sword appeared in the palm of his hand.
"If you swallowed something, you would know if your throat was slit."
The man's tone was too natural, as casually as if he was talking about what to eat today.
Eunuch Liu was so frightened that his legs weakened in an instant. Eunuch Liu naturally knew very well what kind of person this Dingbei King was.
Relying on Emperor Zhao's favor, he acted wantonly and dared to kill even the first-rank ministers, let alone his chamberlain chief.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty saved the old slave, His Royal Highness King Dingbei wants to kill the old slave!"
Eunuch Liu wanted to run towards Emperor Zhao, but Qi Jue's sword had already struck at Mingmen!
There was a snap, and when Eunuch Liu was trying to avoid it, he fell hard on his buttocks.
When he touched his neck, he found that a bloody mark had been cut instantly on his neck. If it was even an inch closer, his blood would be splashed on the spot in an instant!
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
Emperor Zhao sighed: "Xiaojiu, put your sword away. This is the Xuanzheng Hall. No more nonsense."
He told Qi Jue not to mess around anymore, but there was no real blame in his tone.
"The follow-up investigation of this case will be handed over to Dali Temple. Xiaojiu, you have done a good job and can find out the hidden gold mine. No matter who is behind this, as long as the gold mine returns to the court,
This is my great fortune."
Qi Jue touched the ground with his sword and said calmly: "Father, if the matter of secretly hiding gold mines is turned into a big deal and turned into a trivial matter, it will definitely encourage this unhealthy trend in the future.
Although Ma Zhiyong is dead, his accomplices and the forces behind him must be severely punished, and no one involved should be spared."
When it comes to the position under his butt, Emperor Zhao will naturally not lift it easily.
"The Ma clan, the Zhujiu clan, and his comrades who colluded with him were executed and executed as a warning to others. As for Prime Minister Pei, you knew the truth and made Ma Zhiyong do evil in Jizhou. He was demoted to the prefect of Tongzhou and went there immediately.
Territorial reinstatement.”
From the right prime minister of the first rank to the prefect of the fourth rank, Pei Youxiang suffered a big loss this time!
But the honor of the Pei family's Manchu clan was worth exchanging for this demotion, and he was well prepared, so he was not too surprised.
"Weak ministers are ignorant of others and have failed to live up to the holy will. We must obey His Majesty's decree!"
Right Prime Minister Pei knelt on the ground and kowtowed in seeming respect.
"As for the prince, it's best if you go back to the East Palace and stay safe. This matter has nothing to do with you. But if anything is found in Dali Temple, I will not be lenient. Do you understand?"
The prince knelt on the ground and trembled, "My son, I must obey my father's teachings and be careful in what I say and do!"
"Okay, let's stop here today. Xiaojiu, you have discovered a gold mine this time, but you have made great contributions to the court. Whatever you want, I will satisfy you!"
The prince clenched his back molars unwillingly.
They are both biological sons, but Emperor Zhao's attitude is completely different.
In front of Qi Jue, he always acted like a loving father, asking for help.
But for his eldest son, he is always picky in every possible way. What is it about him that is inferior to Qi Jue?
"This is a matter within the scope of my duties."
Emperor Zhao waved his hand: "Go to my private treasury and get the golden sheath scimitar and the tiger-headed golden gun."
These are Emperor Zhao's private treasures. Every item is priceless, and they are all Emperor Zhao's treasures. This is the only one in the world and has been handed down from generation to generation.
Today, Qi Jue was rewarded with two priceless weapons at once, which showed that Emperor Zhao was very satisfied with him.
"Father, can I exchange these two weapons for another one?"
In the past, Qi Jue hardly asked for any rewards, and Emperor Zhao forced them into his hands.
Today, he suddenly said that he wanted to change the reward, and Emperor Zhao naturally would not refuse.
"It's rare that you want something, Xiaojiu. Just tell me. Whatever you like, I will reward you!"
Qi Jue said slowly: "My son wants the wisteria whip left by General Mingzhu."
Hearing the wisteria whip, Mingtai couldn't help but stare at Qi Jue.
At the mention of this name, Emperor Zhao narrowed his eyes and said, "Wisteria whip? I remember, Xiaojiu, you are not good at whips, why do you want this all of a sudden?"
"My son has other uses. My father has spoken so eloquently. Could it be that he wants to go back on his words?"
I'm afraid that only this little son dares to talk to him like this.
Emperor Zhao hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed: "Go to the private treasury and get the wisteria whip."
Soon, the chamberlain took the wisteria whip and put it in a gold box.
Qi Jue took it and said, "Thank you very much, father. I will take my leave."
For some reason, Emperor Zhao had the illusion that the wisteria whip was Qi Jue's ultimate goal today.
"His Royal Highness King Dingbei, wait."
Qi Jue paused and turned sideways to look at Mingtai, who was walking towards him.
"What's the point of not knowing your appearance?"
Mingtai raised his hand to Qi Jue and said: "Your Highness, the wisteria whip belongs to my sister-in-law. Can you please return the wisteria whip to the Ming family? The Ming family will be grateful for your highness's righteous deed!"
Since his sister Mingzhu was gone, Mingtai wanted to bring everything about Mingzhu back to the Ming family.
But Emperor Zhao took the wisteria whip into his private treasury, and even though Mingtai begged him several times, Emperor Zhao refused to relent and return it.
Now that the wisteria whip is in Qi Jue's hands, it will be much easier to ask for help.
"The wisteria whip is a relic of General Ming, and it should be returned to the Ming family. However, even if Ming takes it back, it can only be kept as a decoration at home. I think that General Ming knows well, and he must also hope that the whip can be seen again.
Use again."
Mingtai suddenly thought of something, "Your Highness is giving it away? Is it that little girl from the Yan family?"
Qi Jue did not deny it.
"Take the things from my Ming family and give them to the future daughter-in-law that my Ming family likes. His Highness King Dingbei is very confident."
Qi Jue replied calmly: "I guess Ming Xiang won't mind."
"What if I mind?"
Qi Jue smiled softly, "There's no point in showing concern. I'm just being polite."
Mingtai: "..."
What should I do if I really want to hit someone?
"Your Highness, you hold a high position and this little girl has different aspirations from yours. You'd better not delay her."
Qi Jue was about to leave, but when he heard these words, he turned back to look at him, with a biting coldness hidden in his eyes.
"Whether we agree or not, I, the king, have the final say. There is no need for others to comment."
Halfway through, someone from the palace blocked Qi Jue's path.
"Your Highness, the empress is waiting for you in the bedroom."
Qi Jue thought for a moment, then changed direction and headed to Huaqing Palace.
"Jue'er, let me take a look. I heard that you were injured when you were on patrol. Is the injury serious? Why didn't you send a message to the mother-in-law? After the mother-in-law heard the news, Hun'er was almost frightened.
Gone!"
I originally thought that Qi Jue would be safe if he didn't go to the battlefield, but I didn't expect that it wouldn't be safe if he traveled far away.
"Don't worry, concubine. It's just a minor injury and it's all healed."
Concubine Zhuang checked her body back and forth, and then she breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that everything was fine.
"Jue'er, don't dislike the mother-in-law's nagging, but you are really old at this age. It's time to consider starting a family. If you don't want to marry the main concubine, how about marrying two side concubines first? The mother-in-law has been choosing for a long time, and she feels
