The rope of starlight was pulled out from the galaxy, dragged thousands of miles away, and smashed the figure swimming in the river straight into the palace!
The commander-in-chief of the Daqi Empire's Zhanyu Army fell into the meeting hall of the Military Hall.
Cao Jiu was sitting on the murderous white tiger throne. His usual grimace showed a rare indifference, as silent as morning frost.
"Dashuai Tian!" He cast his overlooking eyes from the high seat: "Before you went into seclusion last time, we had a serious discussion about Zhan Yu Army's winter military exercise and the cultivation of Jue Ding... I didn't expect to see this side of you again.
Wait until winter. And see you again on this occasion and in this way."
"How can it be as satisfactory as everyone wants? Just like I didn't expect that Uncle Shuo Fang could hate me so much that he would not hesitate to block the way with his own hands." Tian Anping got up from the ground, his hands were still bound by the starlight, and he looked around: "Shuai Cao
Aren’t you going to loosen your ties and show me your seat?”
"What do you think?" Cao Jie looked at him.
"Tian asked himself that he had never done anything that broke the rules." Although Tian Anping asked, he was calm: "Why do you treat me like a prisoner?"
"There are only rules in the world and nothing else?" Cao Jie asked.
Tian Anping said: "There is nothing in the world. I am loyal to Your Majesty and to the State of Qi, so I see the rules and am willing to care about them."
Cao Ji raised his eyes: "You killed Uncle Shuo Fang."
Tian Anping stood in the palace: "Junhou is also a practitioner, and he also knows the difficulty of cultivation. It is not easy for Tian to reach the top. I can't stand anyone blocking the way. Junhou saw it in his eyes
It's Uncle Shuo Fang who's there, what I see is just a person blocking the way."
Cao Jiu's voice had some obvious weight: "Although Uncle Shuo Fang was unwise...you obviously could not kill him, but you still killed him."
"Although...although!" Tian Anping raised his head slightly: "The hatred of blocking the way is irreconcilable. Does Tian want the world to know that blocking Tian's way is a free thing?"
Cao Jiu gently rubbed the White Tiger Order in his hand: "So you are prepared to pay the price for killing Uncle Shuo Fang."
"I have not prepared anything." Tian Anping would not fight fiercely with Duhou, who destroyed Xia in a battle. There was no point in that. He only said: "I can only ask for your Majesty's Holy Judgment."
"I am pleased that you are willing to say so much." Cao Jie shook his head: "But I feel sorry that you need to say so much!"
As the leader of the Military Hall favored by the emperor, and the Duhou of Daqi who actually took over the flag from Jiang Mengxiong, Cao Jiu's stance is relatively neutral, not affected by personal emotions, and is not biased towards Bao Yi or Tian Anping. If there must be a bias,
What he prefers is the Daqi Empire.
Tian Anping's killing of Bao Yi was not beneficial to the Qi State in any case, so he was dissatisfied with Tian Anping.
Tian Anping's explanation shows that this so-called lunatic also knows the seriousness of the problem!
He killed someone by force even though he knew he couldn't be killed. What was he relying on?
Because the emperor wants to use all his talents in Liuhe?
Because Qi is an emerging hegemonic country with the weakest foundation and the least true king, is it difficult to let go of such a top figure like him?
Being arrogant and lawless!
Tian Anping stood alone with his hands tied, and his face was of course still calm under the majesty of the Military Hall. But the shadow of the waving flag made this still face somewhat uncertain.
He did have great respect for Cao Jiu, not just because he had fought under Cao Jiu.
He never bothered to explain to others or waste any time on idiots, but today he explained it sentence by sentence, bit by bit.
It's because he discovered that...he probably wouldn't be able to see Emperor Qi!
Faced with Bao Yi's challenge before his death, he accepted this huge bet. His ambition to bet on the world would make Emperor Qi tolerate his small offense. Betting on a towering height can cover up the faint clouds in the mountains.
But the result may not be what he imagined.
A commander of nine soldiers killed another commander of nine soldiers, and was dragged all the way back to Linzi by Qin Tianjian, but the emperor did not summon him immediately!
Even if you yell at him, slap him a few times, stab him a few times, shout that you want to chop off his head! It is still much better than this kind of indifference.
He regarded Cao Jiu as the representative of the emperor, so he made these explanations.
But Cao Jie didn't seem to represent anyone.
Finally he said: "May your Majesty see the Emperor."
"I will hand over your request." Cao Jieru said: "Now, stand still."
…
The thunderstorm over the East China Sea has long since dispersed, and the evening sun is shining brightly here in Linzi, but the setting sun is particularly heavy, as if it is pulling people's hearts to go into the shadows behind the mountains. Huo Yanshan glanced at the sky, and quickly
Stepping into Delu Palace - Qiu Ji, the eunuch with a pen, was accompanying him.
Dingyuan Marquis Chongxuan Chu Liang and Huaying Palace Master Jiang Wuyou were also there.
Huo Yanshan felt a chill in his heart and felt something unusual.
The emperor has always been unpredictable and has a very stable balance. He has summoned several princes and princesses in private at about the same number of times. That is to say, when Prince Wuqi was still there, he met more often.
As for the discussion occasion, several princes and princesses were either absent or all present. Today, only Palace Master Huaying sat down, which was an exception.
Is this some kind of tendency to establish reserves?
Is this tendency something I can feel?
The current head of the internal affairs department took two steps forward, looked straight, and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Tian Anping has been locked into the Military Hall, and Marquis Du is watching in person... He requested your Majesty to see him."
The emperor seemed not to have heard and only asked: "Did Uncle Shuo Fang really go to block the way?"
There was a memorial in front of the emperor, and Ye Henshui's cautious voice sounded in the memorial: "Uncle Shuo Fang indeed called for Miao Rutai, Liu Shentong, Bafu Immortal Palace and other matters to break the peripheral blockade and kill Tian Anping... But the specifics
What happened at that moment, I could not fully observe because of the tide of heaven and earth caused by climbing to the top. When I rushed to the scene, Tian Anping had successfully climbed to the top and Uncle Shuo Fang was dead."
The emperor asked again: "What did Marquis Dingyuan find?"
Chu Liang, Chongxuan, sat there half-embarrassed: "Uncle Shuo Fang is doing his best to investigate the Osawada clan, focusing on tracing back the events of Liu Shentong in the past, and focusing more on the inheritance of Bafu Immortal Palace... Miao Rutai is indeed
Go to sea with a mission like this."
The emperor named another name: "Qiuji, you are the penman, let me analyze it - I want your private opinions, not public splendid articles."
Nine soldiers and commanders fought against each other and even lost their lives. This can be said to be the biggest case in the country in the past ten years!
It is best for internal officials not to get involved in this kind of thing. But if the emperor asks, no one is allowed to escape. Qiuji sat in front of the desk where he took notes for the emperor, as straight as a penholder, and said bravely: "It seems
Tian Shuai responded to Shuo Fangbo's investigation by climbing to the top, but Shuo Fangbo was not willing to give in..."
The emperor was noncommittal: "Continue."
Qiu Ji gritted his teeth and said: "The ministers believe that Uncle Shuo Fang may have the intention to press forward with questions or even negotiate terms with Tian Shuai. But he shouldn't really block the way, or even directly harm Tian Shuai's life - both are nine
Commander-in-Chief, uncovering an old case is seeking merit, directly blocking the road is a serious crime, and Uncle Shuo Fang has no reason to commit a crime for merit."
The emperor himself did not comment, but he said to Palace Master Huaying: "Wuyou, how do you think Qiu Ji analyzed it?"
Jiang Wuyou was dressed in the royal military uniform, sitting there with a heroic appearance, and said gracefully, "Eunuch Qiu's analysis is reasonable and reasonable."
"Then in your opinion, why did Tian Anping insist on killing Uncle Shuo Fang, and where did he get the courage?" the emperor asked.
Jiang Wuyou said very directly: "Since we have already made enemies, it would be better to kill him on the spot if there is a chance, so as not to get entangled with him in the future. Tian Anping killed Uncle Shuo Fang with nothing more than this idea. On the contrary, Erchen felt that Uncle Shuo Fang did not have any
What is the evidence to threaten Tian Anping? Because if that evidence actually exists, Shuo Fangbo has a lot of room for choice. Threatening him face to face is definitely not a good choice. And Tian Anping is a bold person. He doesn't care about the rules. What he wants is
——As long as the bottom line is not touched.”
"As for his courage..."
"Of course this was the step he took to reach the top. True Lord Yan Dao was also the pillar of the country in Jing State, and it was even more significant in Qi State. He thought that his old affair with Liu Shentong after Jue Summit was no longer a thing, and he didn't even bother to tell Shuofang
He also took it for granted that, under the premise that Uncle Shuo Fang had violated the rules first, killing Uncle Shuo Fang was not a big problem——"
The Princess of Da Qi raised her head slightly: "He is willing to tell Your Majesty that he can offend anyone, that he doesn't care about anything, and that he can become an extremely sharp long sword in Your Majesty's hand. If Your Majesty wants to kill Liuhe with a sword, you must allow him to be accidentally contaminated.
Blood. He hopes that His Majesty can draw a new bottom line for him. The imperial power is exclusive to geniuses. He believes that he is an indispensable person in this country."
"What do you think?" the emperor asked.
Jiang Wuyou's words are sharp: "To be arrogant when you have confidence is to be arrogant!"
"I already have one of the sharpest swords in the world." The emperor turned his head and glanced at Chongxuan Chu Liang.
Jiang Wuyou carefully considered his words: "Relatively speaking, Marquis Dingyuan...well, he still has family affection in his heart."
Chongxuan Chu Liang remained silent, quietly feeling the emperor's beatings that went around in several circles.
However, the emperor did not tell him to be silent, and asked again: "Dingyuan Marquis has not told me yet that you, the good Qiu Shajun, can't care about you, and the good Hou Mansion can't live in it, but you actually sent people to Cangshu County and Jinghai County to investigate the case...
What are you checking?"
The Jinghai Gao family is indeed not simple. This complaint was filed too quickly.
"What I'm investigating is actually the clues about Room No. 3 of Tianzi of Guanlan Inn. The traces of the White Bone Evil God may be among them... This White Bone Evil God is the god of the underworld, and it is said that he has already appeared in the world." Chongxuan Chu Liang had to confess, but he tried his best.
He put it on his body: "When I was on the battlefield in Yang Kingdom, I even chopped him with a knife. I was afraid that his old grudge would not be resolved, so I thought it would be better to resolve it in advance."
He added: "I will go back to train my troops right now..."
"I cannot believe in Marquis Dingyuan's ability to train troops." The emperor waved his hand and asked: "Then did you find anything?"
Chongxuan Chu Liang said embarrassedly: "I just checked one Miao Rutai, and this happened. The remaining eight people haven't started yet... Tian Anping is also among them."
Look at his gentle and shy look, he has the word "fierce butcher" in him!
The emperor looked at him and said, "Check it. Idleness is idleness. There is no war in the near future, and I have nothing to do for you."
Chongxuan Chu Liang really wanted to ask the emperor, since he was so concerned about this matter, why he didn't just let the professional investigators from the inspection office and watchmen participate. He was a dignified commander of nine soldiers, and he was good at leading troops to fight.
, he was just forced to be busy by his unscrupulous nephew... He didn’t want to make finding clues his career!
But when the words came to his lips, he only said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Being grabbed by the emperor's pigtails, this time at least he has to live in the military camp for half a year before he can confess... I wonder if the fat nephew can be wise enough to take his newborn grandnephew to the military camp to see him.
What about the elderly?
I have to ask the imperial doctor later about what to pay attention to when a newborn baby goes to the military camp.
The emperor paused and suddenly said: "Yanshan, what do you think of Tian Anping? How should I deal with him?"
Huo Yanshan watched the play for a long time, and when his name was suddenly called, his tall figure immediately fell to his knees: "The minister is just a piece of paper, announcing His Majesty's words. The ministers will never dare to discuss the affairs of the outer dynasty! Nine Soldiers
Commander, how can you be so slavish? My ministers only have one pair of ears, one mouth, and a loyal heart - they have no speculations in their hearts, nor do they dare to have any!"
Qiu Ji blinked and felt that his eyes were really sore. Otherwise, he was the head of the internal affairs department and could take over Han Ling's position!
"You, you." The emperor raised his finger and nodded at Huo Yanshan, but did not embarrass him and asked, "What do you think, Palace Master Huaying?"
Jiang Wuyou said directly: "This person has lawless eyes and no country in his heart. He can no longer be used."
"Oh?" The emperor looked at her: "Tian Anping is an extremely sharp person. He is an unparalleled talent in terms of military strategy and cultivation. It is not a problem to stand alone, and it is even more sharp to break the formation and serve as the vanguard. Didn't you say that Tian Anping is willing to
For the Emperor's Sword, how much does he know not to touch the bottom line?"
"Tian Anping has a bottom line that he doesn't touch. For example, when he killed Uncle Shuo Fang, he had to wait until Uncle Shuo violated the law before taking action... It's not out of respect for this country, but because he knows that if he crosses that line, he will die." Jiang Wuyou said calmly.
: "Once he knows that he will not die if he crosses that line, that line does not exist."
The emperor asked quietly: "Doesn't Palace Master Huaying have the confidence to hold on to that bottom line and control him for a long time?"
"He may be dancing on the bottom line that His Majesty has drawn for him." Jiang Wuyou cupped his hands as a sign of respect: "But my bottom line is to respect this country."
The emperor still did not comment, only said: "In your opinion, this man can no longer be used, so he can only be killed - how do you plan to kill him?"
Huo Yanshan fell to the ground, frozen.
Church's hand holding the pen tightened.
Chongxuan Chu Liang still had a cheerful expression.
Jiang Wuyou was silent for a moment and said, "I can't kill him."
"What a strange thing!" The emperor then looked at her with some meaning and said, "I give you the power of the world, why can't you kill him?"
"The power of the world comes from the system. To maintain the rules is to safeguard the authority of His Majesty." Jiang Wuyou said slowly: "Today Anping killed Uncle Shuo Fang in the name of blocking the way. Although it was not disrespectful to the country, it was not a crime.
Death. Even if we look back to the past and talk about the past incident of killing Liu Shentong... the emperor has made a final decision in the past and can no longer discuss it. Moreover, the matter has been hidden for a long time, and it is rare to have ironclad proof. Killing the top of the world with this incident is not enough to support the world. The rest of the things that are caught in the wind and shadows,
Then you can't hurt him in the slightest. The emperor is the master of the world, so he must be careful in using heavy handles. He must not kill without committing a crime, and he must not kill important ministers rashly."
She paused and said, "If Imada Anping is not punished with death, how can the government and the public be at peace? Therefore, although Your Majesty has given the power to the world, my subjects cannot abuse it and kill him through punishment."
"Then what are you going to do?" the emperor asked.
Jiang Wuyou's hairpin is not an ordinary hairpin, but a long sword with a sharp edge. If she is not careful, her hair will break and go away, which shows her decisiveness in killing.
But she is particularly cautious on this issue.
He pursed his lips and finally said: "Tian Anping is, after all, the commander-in-chief of the Nine Soldiers, an important minister of the country, and he comes from a famous family in the empire. My son... I haven't thought about it yet, and I have to think about it again."
The emperor was sitting on the stage, leaning slightly forward, like heavy clouds weighing down the sky!
That majestic and unpredictable voice, although not high-pitched, made people subconsciously fearful: "Palace Master Huaying thinks that if the Crown Prince and Palace Master Yangxin are here, they need to think again?"
"They don't need it." Jiang Wuyou simply shook his head: "His Royal Highness has superb political skills and has the power of the world to draw on, so he will be forced to a dead end without leaving any trace. The Lord of Yangxin Palace... will continue to use
he."
The current prince Jiang Wuhua's political skills can be said to be the best among his heirs.
Jiang Wuxie, the master of Yangxin Palace, is conceited and ambitious. He will not think that there are people in the world that he cannot control, nor will he think that there are people who cannot be used. If he can control the power of the world, he can use the people of the world.
The emperor looked at the upright and generous Palace Master Huaying and simply said: "You know yourself and your enemy."
Jiang Wuyou stood up and saluted: "My son only knows the importance of the world, so he is walking on thin ice. He is also shallow in wisdom, weak in virtue, and insensitive in thinking. He cannot think of a perfect solution in a short time... I have disappointed my father."
Qi Tianzi said nothing, just stood up.
When he sat cross-legged on the stage, he was very quiet, as if all the majestic arrangements in the palace were part of the furnishings of imperial power. But the moment he stood up, everything about the Daqi Empire
Come alive.
The might of the Eastern Kingdom is like a dragon raising its head!
As the emperor walked in the palace, his voice was faint: "Tell me about this Tian Anping, what does he want from me?"
Huo Yanshan fell to the ground and said, "He wants to... see the Emperor."
Emperor Qi was wearing a loose robe, and he seemed to be carrying auspicious clouds when he walked, which made him appear less harsh: "I gave him a chance when he killed Liu Shentong."
He turned around and glanced at the people in the hall: "How many chances should I give him?"
Is this just asking Tian Anping, who is not here?!
There was no sound in the hall.
Everyone is speechless. Everyone also knows that the final decision will be made. No matter what the result is, everyone can only choose to accept it.
Jiang Shu is the highest will on these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and the final outcome. Anyone who resists will die.
The emperor rarely directly said which prince did the right thing and which prince did the wrong thing.
He often did it directly for the princes and princesses to see.
Today is like the past.
After taking a few steps in the palace, the emperor began to issue an order: "The case of Commander Zhan Yu Tian Anping's murder of Uncle Shuo Fang is complicated and suspicious. Moreover, both the murderer and the murdered are high-ranking officials of the country and important ministers of the empire, so they cannot be taken lightly.
I order a thorough investigation of this case, and it must be tried fairly and without any mistakes or omissions in details - the inspection captain Zheng Shangming will personally supervise the case."
Qiuji moved his pen as fast as he could, writing down the emperor's will.
The emperor said: "The pain of this country should not cause the dead to harbor hatred and the living to suffer injustice. Both Bao Yi and Tian Anping must be treated fairly. The people of the world must be convinced."
Church's eyes were frightened, but he held the pen as light as a feather, which did not affect his writing at all.
The emperor added: "Huo Yanshan went to declare the decree in person. Don't go directly to Beiya. Tian Anping was imprisoned for investigation, and everything about the Yu Army was cut off. For the time being, Zheng Shi, the general of the Yu Army, was killed. You asked Zheng Shi to go to Beiya to deliver this.
make."
Huo Yanshan lowered his head and lowered his eyes.
Qiu Ji's eyes flickered and he stopped writing.
Let Zheng Shi, who has coveted the position of commander of the Zhan Yu Army for a long time, urge his biological son Zheng Shangming to investigate the case of Tian Anping, the commander of the Zhan Yu Army... Even though he does not avoid virtuous people, he does not avoid others!
Chongxuan Chu Liang's cheerful expression did not change, as if he did not understand this oracle.
But I knew in my heart that this might be the worst result for Tian Anping!
Perhaps from the beginning, the emperor's refusal to see Tian Anping had already doomed the outcome of this matter. Not to mention that the emperor openly discussed how to kill Tian Anping with Palace Master Huaying in front of them - this was also possible
Was it discussed?
Unless that person is already dead, there is absolutely no possibility of being used again.
There is no doubt that Lao Bao did something stupid this time, and he was killed by a junior who found an opportunity. There is nothing to say.
The bitterness of time and the heavy burden of the family turned Bao Yaoyao into Bao Shuofang.
Maybe the emperor also misses General Yao who was a traitor back then, right?
What about the other person with the same name?
Chongxuan Chu Liang did not reveal his thoughts, and did not even allow himself to think about it anymore. So he had another thought - Tian Anping was also one of the nine people in Guanlan Tianzi Sanli. If the clues to the Bone Evil God were in Tian Anping, then he would
How do I go about checking it down?
In Delu Palace, everyone has his own silence.
Huo Yanshan walked forward slightly and carefully reviewed the edict drafted by Qiu Ji. After confirming that there was not a single word difference in the edict, he took out the emperor's official seal and used the seal in a proper manner. He sealed the seal box and put the edict into the book.
He brought it forward and respectfully asked the emperor to inspect it.
Even though Emperor Qi had the power to reach heaven and earth, and his achievements were overwhelming, he still read his imperial edict carefully before waving his hand.
Huo Yanshan held the newly issued imperial edict and hurried away.
This small discussion in Delu Palace was supposed to be over. What needed to be dealt with was dealt with, what needed to be hammered was beaten, and what needed to be taught was taught... But the emperor did not immediately tell everyone to disperse.
Instead, he continued to walk out of the palace, walking calmly and casually: "Wuyou, take your Fangtian Ghost and God and lend it to me."
Jiang Wuyou instinctively knelt down and said, "My son, your leader—ah?"
She looked up in shock, and the hairpin cut into her bun and flew forward and fell.
Church was shocked and broke the pen with a 'snap' sound. He immediately left his seat and knelt on the ground to apologize.
The fierce butcher Zhongxuan Chu Liang stood up in horror!
However, the Emperor Daqi just looked at the skylight outside the palace, took a casual look, and held the huge Fangtian Ghost and God Halberd held upside down in his hand by Palace Master Huaying.
The emperor raised his halberd and his purple robe was slightly rolled up.
"I'm tired of seeing the private affairs of ministers in this court!"
"The world is so big and there are so many heroes."
He said quietly: "Ji Fengzhou and I - let's have a while!"
