Chapter 1192 Thunder and Rain

As the prime minister, Jiang Rumo is the last buffer between the emperor and the officials.

Because the emperor's words are golden, there is no room for maneuver once he opens his mouth.

But Liu Yingqi did not explain much to Jiang Rumo, but only respectfully asked for the emperor's judgment. This was a fight with Tian Xili, asking for life and death.

Jiang Rumo could not say anything else.

At this time, Tian Xili remained silent.

No accusations, no rebuttals, no pleading, nothing. A resigned silence.

This is a smart choice.

Liu Yingqi's death is a step to kill, but it also means to coerce the emperor with death. Liu Yingqi has nothing left, and he doesn't care about anything else, as long as he and Tian Xili die together.

And he just wants to show differently.

Compared with the current Liu Yingqi, he does have fear. He has beautiful clothes and great power. He has almost everything. How can he not be afraid of death?

Then he will make his fear more clear.

Only those who understand fear are more respectful and obedient.

His "obedience" highlights Liu Yingqi's "rebellion".

So under the majesty of heaven, he remained silent and interpreted the sentence with his actions, "I beg your majesty to see clearly."

He also knelt there, waiting for the holy judgment.

He was the one who really allowed himself to be killed and punished!

He had acted rashly before, and indeed despised Liu Yingqi, his wisdom, and his courage.

Now the other party seized the opportunity to directly confront the generals and asked for death. He could not break this ruthless chess move.

But on the chessboard of Qi State, the fight between Liu Yingqi and him was not just between them. There was also a will that was higher than everything.

So he simply let go of everything and let the Emperor of Qi deal with it.

He did not believe that such a great leader as the Emperor of Qi would allow his decision to be influenced by others, even if it was forced to die, after all, there was a word of forced!

To put it another way, even if the Emperor of Qi really sentenced him and Liu Yingqi to death together, his obedient death and Liu Yingqi's coercive death would have completely different meanings.

This is the best choice for the Tian family!

The Emperor of Qi must remember Tian Xili's loyalty and obedience! Only in this way can he retain the hearts of the people.

Everyone is waiting for the Emperor's decision.

The matter involves a hereditary marquis, a hereditary earl, and two famous families of Qi. No one can make a decision for the Emperor.

The Prime Minister cannot do it, and the Empress, the Crown Prince, and the princes and princesses cannot do it either.

And the Emperor did not remain silent for too long.

His voice seemed to fall from the sky, extremely majestic: "Qingyangzi!"

Jiang Wang, who was silently watching this famous family fight, was stunned for a moment.

Who am I? What am I doing? What do you want me to do?

But despite being confused, he still reacted very quickly, bowed and said: "I am here!"

"I order you to leave for Daze County immediately and arrest Liu Xiao."

The voice of the Qi Emperor showed no emotion: "Do you dare to go?"

With the cultivation of the inner court, it naturally takes some courage to arrest a powerful god, and a powerful god who has already made up his mind and actually ignored the Qi law.

Because the current Liu Xiao may not care whether you are Qingyangzi or a third-grade golden melon warrior!

But Jiang Wang showed no fear, and even did not see any hesitation.

"Your Majesty, with the power of heaven, why should I not dare to arrest a criminal?"

He only bowed once, and without saying anything, he rose from the ground in front of the Taimiao, crushed the Qingyun mark, and went straight to Daze County!

"Good job!" Chong Xuansheng cheered in his heart.

In his opinion, this trip was risk-free. Whether Liu Xiao killed Tian Anping or not, his loyalty to Fufeng Liu was unquestionable. The emperor sent people to take him. If he dared to resist, he would risk the safety of the entire Fufeng Liu family.

It is difficult for people not to hesitate before a possible life-and-death crisis. As the protagonist of today's ceremony, Jiang Wang's performance at this moment demonstrated his courage and loyalty, which was very eye-catching.

For Jiang Wang, in fact, he only asked himself one question-

The emperor of Qi personally ordered, is there any possibility that I will refuse?

The answer is obviously clear. So he took the order without hesitation and left.

As for the various pros and cons, you can think about it slowly on the way.

Jiang Wang stepped on the blue clouds and went away. The emperor of the Great Qi sitting on the dragon throne said slowly: "Xuan Huaibo, Gaochang Hou, get up first."

Liu Yingqi asked the emperor to die, but the emperor avoided talking about it and only sent people to lock up Liu Xiao, which itself was an attitude.

First of all, the treatment of Liu Xiao depends on the final result, whether Tian Anping is dead or not.

Secondly, sending Jiang Wang is to let Liu Yingqi and Tian Xili see clearly.

Speaking of geniuses, Qi State has plenty of them. There is one who is the best in the world right in front of us. He is the leader who fought against the top geniuses of various countries in Guanhetai.

So don’t think that the death of Liu Shentong is so great, and don’t think that there is still a Tian Anping in the family, which is so important.

You have to weigh it clearly for yourself!

"Your Majesty, I kowtow to thank God for his grace!" After escaping a disaster, Tian Xili kowtowed and stood up.

Although Liu Yingqi's tears were not dry and his forehead, which was deliberately not protected, had been bruised, he could not kneel again.

He choked and said, "Your Majesty, thank you!"

The punishment of the emperor must be accepted.

The grace of the emperor must be accepted!

The two lords stood on the high platform one after the other, and the other ministers and nobles were as far away as if they were avoiding the plague god.

The voice of the Emperor of Qi fell again: "Ceremony officer, what is the crime for being indecent in front of the palace?"

The ceremonial officer presiding over the hall bowed and said: "Your Majesty, there are several kinds of crimes. If the emperor is unforgiving, he may be flogged, demoted, or put to death!"

The emperor of Qi said: "The ancestors of Gaochang Marquis and Xuanhuai Bo have made contributions to the country. I often think of them. Although they have violated the etiquette today, I should forgive their death. However, the crime must be punished. They should be flogged fifty times to serve as a warning to others!"

The emperor looked at Cao Jie: "General Cao, thank you for your hard work."

Cao Jie bowed in a proper manner: "I obey your order!"

Then he raised his hand directly to Tian Xili and Liu Yingqi: "Please."

The emperor's question was meaningful.

He said "disrespectful in front of the hall", not "disrespectful in the grand ceremony and the ancestral temple" as Liu Yingqi said when he asked for death.

Because the disrespectful in the ancestral temple is an offense to the previous emperors.

And from the perspective of etiquette, the emperor cannot forgive the guilt of the previous emperors!

The emperor wanted to punish Liu Yingqi and Tian Xili, but he didn't want to kill them, so he asked this question.

The ceremonial officer obviously understood the emperor's intention.

Tian Xili said nothing, walked down the platform and walked onto the square. He took off his outer clothes, unbuttoned his inner shirt, and knelt down naked in front of the civil and military officials and the people watching the ceremony.

This was undoubtedly a huge shame.

Considering his status, he had to be punished naked in front of so many people who were far inferior to him.

But perhaps this was the best result, so he accepted it silently, just like before.

Liu Yingqi's actions were exactly the same, but his face was even more sad.

Cao Jie strode to the bottom of the platform and stretched out his hand.

Naturally, someone presented a wet whip.

This whip was a punishment whip, and it was soaked with thorn water.

This whip was held by law, and this water felt like a needle.

He raised his hand, and the whip exploded three times in the air, which represented that the heaven and the earth witnessed it together, and the law beast heard it together.

Then a whip came down--

Snap!

Tian Xili, who had the cultivation of the Godly Land, and Liu Yingqi, who had the peak cultivation of the Outer Building, were all whipped to the ground! Their faces were extremely distorted, so they did not cry out in pain.

They also gritted their teeth, supported the ground, and stood up.

In front of the solemn Taimiao, on the huge square, only the sound of whips echoed.

And the two noble lords kept falling down and struggling to get up.

In such a situation, this pair of feuding enemies finally reached a sad consensus.
