At this time, after hearing the speeches of the ministers below, Emperor Wu finally nodded.
"Indeed, this hostage exchange has already made the relationship between the two countries on thin ice, and now that something like this has happened, it has become even worse!"
"It seems that Yang Ao should indeed be dealt with seriously! This matter cannot be tolerated!"
"My lord, I am not targeting you on purpose. The stakes are very high at this time! If you are lenient, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Emperor Wu also gave a special explanation to Pei Tianlin.
Pei Tianlin is now a mute eating Coptis chinensis, unable to express his pain.
After a while, he could only nod his head.
"Yes, I understand."
Forget it, as long as it's not directly executed.
Even if he is imprisoned, he can find a way to get him out later, which is not difficult for him.
"In this case, Yang Ao will be relieved of all his duties and thrown into prison! He will be punished severely!"
Emperor Wu pronounced his verdict coldly.
At this time, Lin Yiqiu's expression softened slightly.
"No one is wiser than the Emperor! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"No need to thank me! On the contrary, I should apologize for you. If something like this happens, my face will be disgraced!"
Emperor Wu sighed, and then asked: "By the way, where is Yang Ao now?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have sent people to securely guard his mansion, and it will be put into prison later!"
Chen Mohan cupped his hands and said.
Originally, with his responsibilities, he couldn't take care of these things at all.
But the matter was really serious. Even as the commander of the Foreign Affairs Department, he couldn't stand it at all, so he quickly sent people to surround Yang Ao's mansion.
Emperor Wu nodded with satisfaction.
"Very good, then let's take him to prison and be tortured as soon as possible!"
"yes!"
Chen Mohan accepted the order.
After hearing this, Lin Yiqiu's anger seemed to have finally dissipated.
He took Xia Nianqiao and quickly left.
Chen Mohan didn't stay much, and went straight to Yang Ao's mansion to pick up the people.
After everyone retreated, Emperor Wu sighed with emotion.
"It's simply unheard of! The commander of the Imperial Army can actually do such a thing!"
"This Yang Ao, it's a good thing that I still trust him so much that I specially assigned the Five Cities Military and Horse Division to dispatch him!"
"Now this has simply failed me! It's so blind!"
Sighed repeatedly.
None of the ministers spoke.
On the contrary, Pei Tianlin frowned and stepped forward: "Your Majesty, since the matter has happened and the punishment has been met, there is no need to think about it again."
Now we must try our best to suppress this matter and prevent it from spreading, otherwise it will really damage the prestige of our country of Wu.
"Well, what Mr. Guozhang said makes sense."
Emperor Wu nodded in agreement.
However, this is just a trick used by Pei Tianlin, to divert attention so that he can turn over an article at this time.
Wait until the limelight is over and then rescue Yang Ao. Everything is that simple.
However, after a moment, Emperor Wu spoke again.
"By the way, Lord Abbot, Yang Ao has been imprisoned. His position cannot be left vacant. Does Lord Abbot have a good candidate?"
"This position as the leader of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division cannot be delayed for too long, otherwise the troops on all sides of the capital will be uneasy!"
"I haven't thought about this yet."
Pei Tianlin said deliberately.
When Emperor Wu heard this, he became confused.
"What else is there to consider? Didn't Lord Zhang already have a candidate?"
"That Zhao Bingzhong, the abbot said he was very powerful last time. Since Pei Tianlin has gone down, let him go up!"
"I heard that he is also the subordinate of the state leader. I hope that the state leader can discipline him well and never cause such a thing again!"
Naturally, Emperor Wu directly placed this position on Zhao Bingzhong.
Pei Tianlin felt something was wrong, but he couldn't refute it at all.
Zhao Bingzhong was the one he recommended before, but later he changed it to Yang Ao because of Emperor Wu's impromptu decision.
But now that it was handed over to Zhao Bingzhong again, Pei Tianlin felt a little worried.
But I guess there won't be any problem.
Although Zhao Bingzhong is not a confidant, he is obedient and capable.
This time, I could just take the opportunity to stabilize Zhao Bingzhong's loyalty.
When Pei Tianlin thought about it, he no longer had any doubts.
"I understand! I thank Your Majesty on behalf of Zhao Bingzhong!"
After a while, the court meeting dispersed, and only Emperor Wu and the young eunuch beside him were left in the hall.
Looking at Pei Tianlin's leaving figure, the corners of Wu Di's mouth suddenly turned up in an arc.
"Haha, this old fox seems to not know that this is a game!"
In fact, from the moment Lin Yiqiu entered the palace and opened his mouth, Emperor Wu felt keenly that he meant something.
As expected, the target was finally pointed at Pei Tianlin.
With just a few words, Pei Tianlin's biggest confidant was immediately thrown into prison.
Emperor Wu had to feel sorry for Lin Yiqiu's thoughts!
From this point of view, I was indeed right about Lin Yiqiu!
As for Lin Yiqiu, who returned to the mission's residence after going to court, his face showed no anger at all, replaced by a confident smile.
"In this way, one of Pei Tianlin's left and right arms was directly severed, which Yang Ao doesn't have to worry about."
Things went much smoother than he imagined!
Xia Nianqiao muttered.
"Huh! Aren't you relying on this girl to betray your lust?"
"You guy, you actually want me to show my shoulders!"
Her face was still very red. Xia Nianqiao had never worn such "sexy" clothes in her life.
Lin Yiqiu continued to laugh.
"The so-called reluctance to bear children cannot trap a wolf. Besides, with Chen Mohan, me, and Cang Hong as our protectors, you don't really think that ghost can do anything to you, do you?"
"Cang Hong, why didn't I see his figure at that time?"
Xia Nianqiao looked confused.
He didn't know where Cang Hong was, anyway, only Lin Yiqiu and Chen Mohan came in at that time.
Lin Yiqiu smiled slightly and said: "Who else do you think can be who can confuse ghosts with their breath and make them unable to find traces at all?"
"You mean Cang Hong?"
Xia Nianqiao was extremely surprised!
"You mean Cang Hong is the one who attacked Guiying? Guiying has been chasing him?"
"Yes, that's exactly it."
Lin Yiqiu nodded and said: "Cang Hong is very skilled in martial arts, so it is most appropriate to leave the matter of luring the enemy to him!"
"At that time, he had been lurking on the eaves, waiting for Yang Ao to appear. Later, it was because of him that Yang Ao was blocked in your room and unable to leave smoothly."
While he was talking, a dark shadow entered the house.
It was none other than Cang Hong.
He took off his black mask and was a little excited!
"Obtained! The ghost has been taken away!"
"Chen Mohan is really fast. He surrounded the mansion with crossbows and arrows. Yang Ao couldn't even run away!"
Cang Hong has been monitoring Yang Ao's movements to prevent him from running away.
And Chen Mohan's speed really surprised him.
Hearing this, Lin Yiqiu nodded with satisfaction.
"That's very good. Taking down the ghost shadow means that these five city soldiers and horses will no longer belong to Pei Tianlin!" This chapter has been completed!
