Chapter 2497 When There Is a Moment

Bang!

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 Jiusi was sitting on the murderous white tiger throne, with a rare expression of indifference on top of his usual grimace, 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 Zhanyu Army's winter military exercise and the cultivation of Jue Dian... I never expected that we would see each other again without this side. Wait until winter. And on this occasion, in this way."

"How can it be as satisfactory as everyone wants? I never thought 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 Don’t you plan 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, 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 Jiu raised his gaze and said, "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 in his eyes It’s Uncle Shuo Fang, and what I see is just a person who blocks the way.”

Cao Jiu's voice had some obvious weight: "Although Uncle Shuo Fang was unwise...but 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 was relatively neutral, not affected by personal emotions, and was not biased towards Bao Yi or Tian Anping. If he must have a preference, he would prefer the Daqi Empire.

Tian Anping's killing of Bao Yi was not beneficial to Qi in any case, so he was dissatisfied with Tian Anping.

And Tian Anping's explanation shows that this so-called madman 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 an outstanding figure like him?

Being arrogant and lawless!

Tian Anping was independent with his hands tied, and his face was certainly calm under the majesty of the Military Hall. But the shadow of the waving flag made this still face somewhat uncertain.

He does have great respect for Cao Jiu, not just because he 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!

Facing Bao Yi's challenge before his death, he took the gamble. The ambition to bet on the world will make Emperor Qi tolerate his small offense. Bet that the height of the mountain can cover up the faint clouds in the mountains.

But the outcome 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's much better than this 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 dissipated, 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 toward the shadows behind the mountains. Huo Yanshan glanced at the sky and walked quickly into Delu Palace - Qiu Ji, the eunuch with Bingbi, was accompanying him.

Dingyuan Marquis Chongxuan Chu Liang and Huaying Palace Master Jiang Wuyou were also there.

Huo Yanshan felt something unusual in his heart.

The emperor has always been unpredictable and has a very stable balance. I summoned several princes and princesses privately in the past, and they were all at about the same number of times. That is to say, when Prince Wuqi was still there, I met more often.

As for the discussion occasion, several princes and princesses were either absent or all present. Today, only Palace Master Huaying is sitting, which is 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: "Shuo Fangbo did shout about Miao Rutai, Liu Shentong, Bafu Xiangong and other matters, broke the peripheral blockade, and killed Tian Anping... But the specifics What happened at that moment was because of the tide of heaven and earth caused by reaching the top. When I arrived at the scene, Tian Anping had successfully climbed to the top and Shuo Fangbo was already dead. "

The emperor asked again: "What did Marquis Dingyuan find out?"

Chongxuan Chu Liang sat there half-embarrassed: "Uncle Shuo Fang is doing his best to investigate the Osawada clan. The focus is on tracing back the events of Liu Shentong in the past, and more on the inheritance of Bafu Immortal Palace...Miao Rutai is indeed Go out 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 quarreled and even lost their lives. This can be said to be the biggest case in the country in the past ten years!

It's best for internal officials to stay out of this kind of thing. But when the emperor asked, no one was allowed to escape. Qiu Ji sat in front of the desk where he was writing notes for the emperor, as straight as a pen holder, and said bravely: "It seems that Marshal Tian responded to Uncle Shuo Fang's investigation by climbing to the top, and Uncle Shuo Fang is 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 idea to use force to press for questioning or even negotiate terms with Tian Shuai. But it should not really block the road or even directly harm Tian Shuai's life - both are nine Commander-in-Chief, uncovering an old case is seeking merit, and directly blocking the road is a serious crime. 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 have to kill 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 is better to kill him on the spot if there is a chance, so as not to get entangled in the future. Tian Anping killed Uncle Shuo Fang because of 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 the evidence actually exists, Shuo Fangbo has a lot of room for choice. Threatening him face to face is definitely not a good choice. 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 get out of Juedian. Zhenjun Yandao was also the pillar of the country in Jingguo, and it was even more significant in Qiguo. He thought that his old affair with Liu Shentong after Juedian was no longer a thing, and he didn't even bother to stay in Shuofang He also took it for granted that, under the premise that Uncle Shuo Fang violated the law 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 your majesty can draw a new line for him. He believes that he is an indispensable person in this country."

"What do you think?" the emperor asked.

Jiang Wuyou's words were sharp: "Being arrogant when you are confident is almost 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.

But the emperor did not tell him to be silent, and asked again: "Marquis Dingyuan hasn't told me yet that you, the good Qiu Shajun, can't care about you, but the good Hou Mansion can't live in it, so you actually sent people to Cangshu County and Jinghai County to investigate the case... What are you checking?"

Jinghai Gao's family is indeed not simple. This complaint was filed too quickly.

"What I'm looking for is actually the clues about Room No. 3 of Tianzi of Guanlan Inn. The traces of the Bone Evil God may be among them... This 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 to 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 grudges 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..."

"There is nothing I can't 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 among them."

Look at his gentle and shy look, the word "fierce butcher" can be found there!

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, when his name was suddenly called, his tall figure fell to his knees: "The minister is just a piece of paper, announcing His Majesty's words. The ministers must never discuss the matters of the outer dynasty! Nine soldiers Commander, how can I be so servile? My ministers only have one pair of ears, one mouth, and a heart that is loyal to the emperor - they have no speculations in their hearts, and they dare not have any!"

Qiu Ji blinked, feeling that his eyes were really sore. Otherwise, he is the head of the internal officials and can take over Han Ling's position!

"You, you." The emperor raised his finger and pointed at Huo Yanshan, but he did not embarrass him and asked, "What do you think, Palace Master Huaying?"

Jiang Wuyou said directly: "This person is lawless and has 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 be 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 first 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 you know that you won't die if you cross that line, that line doesn't 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 the bottom line for me is to respect this country."

The emperor still did not comment, only said: "In your opinion, this person can no longer be used, so the only choice is to kill him - 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 looked at her with some meaning at this time 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 at the past, the emperor has made a final decision in the past, and it cannot be discussed anymore. It is rare to prove that this incident is enough to catch the wind and catch the shadow of the world. Then you can't hurt him in the slightest. The emperor is the master of the world, so he must be careful to use heavy weapons. He must not kill without committing a crime, and he must not kill important officials 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, your ministers cannot abuse it and kill him."

"Then what are you going to do?" asked the emperor.

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 was 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 driven to death without leaving a trace. Palace Master Yangxin... will continue to use he."

The current prince Jiang Wuhua's political skills can be said to be the best among his heirs.

And 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 you can control the world, you 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 and solemn, as if like all the majestic decorations in the palace, they were one of the furnishings of imperial power. But the moment he stood up, everything about the Daqi Empire came 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 was furious. Everyone also knows that the final decision will be made. No matter what the outcome is, everyone can only choose to accept it.

Jiang Shu is the highest will and the final outcome in this thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. Anyone who goes against it 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 hall, the emperor began to issue orders: "The case of the killing of Shuofang Bo by Tian Anping, the commander of Zhanyu, is complicated and suspicious. Moreover, both the murderer and the murdered are senior officials of the state and important officials of the empire, and should not be taken lightly. I order a thorough investigation of this case, and it must be tried fairly without any details being missed. Zheng Shangming, the inspector general, is ordered to personally supervise this case."

Qiu Ji wrote down the emperor's order with a flying pen.

The emperor said: "This is the pain of the country. The dead should not be resentful and the living should not be wronged. Both Bao Yi and Tian Anping should be treated fairly. The people of the world should be convinced."

Qiu Ji's eyes were startled, but he held the pen like a feather, which did not affect his writing at all.

The emperor said again: "Huo Yanshan should go to announce the order in person, not directly to the Northern Yamen. Tian Anping is imprisoned for investigation. All matters of the Zhanyu Army will be temporarily handled by Zheng Shi, the general of the Zhanyu Army. You ask Zheng Shi to go to the Northern Yamen to pass on this order."

Huo Yanshan lowered his head and lowered his eyes.

Qiu Ji's eyes flickered, and he stopped writing.

Asking Zheng Shi, who has long coveted the position of the commander of the Zhanyu Army, to urge his own son Zheng Shangming to investigate the case of Tian Anping, the commander of the Zhanyu Army... Although it is said that one should not avoid the wise, this is too much!

Chongxuan Chu Liang's cheerful expression did not change, as if he did not understand the oracle.

But he knew in his heart that this might be the worst result for Tian Anping!

Perhaps from the beginning, the emperor's refusal to see Tian Anping had doomed the outcome of this matter. Not to mention that the emperor openly discussed with the Lord of Huaying Palace how to kill Tian Anping in front of them-is this even possible?

Unless that person is already dead, there is no possibility of using him again.

Old Bao undoubtedly did something stupid this time, and there is nothing to say when a younger generation found an opportunity to kill him.

The bitterness of time and the burden of the family turned Bao Piaoyao into Bao Shuofang.

The emperor may also miss the general Piaoyao back then?

What about the other one who is as famous as him?

Chongxuan Chu Liang did not reveal his thoughts, and did not even allow himself to think about it. So he changed his mind again-Tian Anping is also one of the nine people in Guanlan Tianzi Sanli. If the clue of the White Bone Evil God is on Tian Anping, how to investigate next?

In the Delu Palace, everyone was silent.

Huo Yanshan walked forward lightly, carefully examined the edict drafted by Qiu Ji, and confirmed that there was no difference in the edict. Then he took out the emperor's seal and used it in a proper manner. He sealed the seal box again, brought the imperial edict forward, and respectfully asked the emperor to check it.

Although the Emperor of Qi had the ability to penetrate the sky and the earth, and the merits of covering the world, he still carefully read his imperial edict and waved his hand.

Huo Yanshan held the newly baked imperial edict and hurried away.

This small discussion in the Delu Palace should have ended. Those who should be dealt with were dealt with, those who should be beaten were beaten, and those who should be taught were taught...but the emperor did not immediately ask everyone to disperse.

Instead, he continued to walk out of the palace, walking nonchalantly and casually: "Wuyou, take your Fangtian Guishen and lend it to me."

Jiang Wuyou instinctively bowed: "Son, I accept it-ah?"

She looked up in surprise, and the hairpin cut through her bun and flew forward.

Qi Ji was shocked and broke the pen with a "snap", immediately left his seat, and knelt on the ground to apologize.

The vicious butcher Chongxuan Chu Liang stood up in horror!

The emperor of Daqi just looked at the sky outside the palace, and casually reached out and held the huge Fangtian Guishen halberd of the Huaying Palace Master upside down in his hand.

The emperor raised the halberd, and his purple robe rolled up slightly.

"I'm tired of seeing the private affairs of the ministers in the court!"

"The world is so big, there are so many heroes."

He said calmly: "I and Ji Fengzhou - there will be a meeting!"
