Volume 2: The Endless and Gentle Blush of the Setting Sun 166, The Way of Monarchs and Ministers
The carriage leading from the palace to the Marquis of Wuwei was slowly driving. The atmosphere on the car was very strange, and the monarch and ministers didn't say a word. Su Mingcheng was a wise minister who didn't know what to please, and he also had the self-knowledge that he could easily offend people if he didn't like it. Emperor Ku knew this well, and he had no words to talk to Su Mingcheng, which was the origin of silence.
But after a long time like this, both the monarch and the ministers were a little uncomfortable. Sometimes, Emperor Ku felt that such a "tactic understanding" was not good. Everyone clearly showed that you were using me and I was using you. There was no friendship between the monarch and the ministers in it, and it was not the way to be the king. So he felt that he had the obligation to break silence:
"Su Qing, is there any cost in the mansion? I will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to arrange it for you to send it."
Su Mingcheng looked at Emperor Ku with a strange look, but did not dare to stare, but just lowered his head. There was another suffocating silence in the carriage.
Emperor Ku was a little annoyed. He knew that Su Mingcheng could not lack the cost, but using an opening remark that could easily bring the relationship closer would help ease the stiff atmosphere between the monarch and the ministers. Unexpectedly, the other party was so ignorant that he would not accept his words at all.
Su Mingcheng suddenly said, "Your Majesty, the negotiations for the Feixian Fair are about to be held. This is an excellent opportunity for Liguo. Xie Qingyun is the key. If he dies in Wuwei Marquis' Mansion, the loss will be huge. From the personal perspective of Weichen, Qi Refiner is not trustworthy, but Xie Qingyun is the bloodline of the Xie family. Weichen believes that the Zhongyong Marquis will not let his descendants harm Liguo and the interests of Liguo, so..."
The civil and military officials in the court, the only one who lived in seclusion, was deeply convinced by the head of the civil servant. This conviction even made Emperor Ku feel jealous. He said coldly: "I also said that the boy would not harm the interests of Liguo. Marquis Wuwei was the guardian of Liguo to the outside world, and a marquis who was hereditary in the inside. No matter which identity he was, he could not offend."
Su Mingcheng said: "I am very considerate of the contributions made by the Marquis of Wuwei and the entire Qi family to the court; however, according to the latest news, Xie Qingyun entered the Marquis of Wuwei's mansion to make the Marquis of Wuwei abide by the law of the law and implement the proper placement of the two dead maids who sold their bodies in accordance with the law."
Of course, Emperor Ku had already received the news. He said coldly: "You only saw him doing something for Lilu, but not the Xie family had taken action. If that boy caused Qi and Xie and the Xie family to join forces, do you know how much damage would be caused?"
Su Mingcheng said, "But if the Marquis of Wuwei could abide by the laws of history, how could this happen?"
Emperor Ku was furious: "What do you mean is that all the mistakes were caused by the Marquis of Wuwei?" I don't know which pain point he touched.
"His Majesty calm down." Su Mingcheng sighed and stopped speaking.
The carriage fell into a dead silence again.
I don’t know how long it has passed, when the carriage was driving on Mingyang Street and less than three miles away from the Marquis of Wuwei, Emperor Ku suddenly broke his silence: "Su Qing is a scholar and should see clearly the situation today. Guo State has been unfavorable to foreign wars several times, and has long been a tiger and wolf-like person for Li State. Only by swallowing Li State can we make up for our vitality and continue to fight with Zhou and the two countries."
"I understand." Su Mingcheng nodded.
Emperor Ku took a deep breath: "It is the critical moment of life and death in Liguo. If both Xie and the two families get into evil again, it will be an irreversible disaster."
"Although Xie Qingyun wants to protect him, Wu Weihou also needs to take care of his face. In short, I asked Su Qing to follow him just to ask you to give me a compromise."
"I have an idea, but I don't know how much trouble it is." Su Mingchengdao.
Emperor Ku said coldly: "He is a little Xie Qingyun, can he still make a fuss?"
Su Mingchengdao: "Xie Qingyun is a Qi Refiner."
"Qi Refiner." Emperor Ku said "Ha" and said with a sarcastic sarcastic word, "How many Qi Refiner are there in this world who are worthy of fighting with Wuwei Hou? The cultivation world regards martial artists as worthless. Does Su Qing think so too?"
Su Mingcheng thought about it seriously and said, "Your Majesty is very much."
Emperor Ku rarely received the recognition of this minister. This was not a flattery, but it made him more comfortable than the flattery of a flattery. He nodded and smiled very much. "It's a pity that the warriors do not have the means of flying in the sky, otherwise what would Feixiansheng have to do with those Qi Refiners?"
At this time, the carriage suddenly stopped. He frowned and was about to ask, someone outside the carriage
He shouted in panic, "Your Majesty, it's not good, the Marquis of Wuwei's Mansion has been destroyed."
"What?"
Emperor Ku's comfort could not last long. Hearing this, he stood up suddenly. He resisted the urge to kick the car door, grabbed the speaker's neck and questioned, and said coldly, "What happened, report it quickly."
"I don't know, I don't know." The man was still shocked. "I was ordered to go to the Hou Mansion to explore, but as soon as he arrived, he shook the mountain. I went to a high place to see. The small island in the lake sank. There were still masters fighting on the lake. I dared not get close to me with my strength."
"big eater!"
Emperor Ku could no longer hold back and kicked it out, and the door panel broke and smashed it at the person who spoke, knocking it away.
The sun shines in.
Su Mingcheng bathed under the noon sun and said slowly: "For the Lord..."
"Don't preach to me at this time!" Emperor Ku's face was as cold as frost.
Su Mingcheng stopped talking and sighed secretly.
The Sanli Road arrived soon. A shadow flew down and leaned on the ground in front of the carriage with one knee, "Start."
"Accurate." Emperor Ku walked out of the car with a cold face.
"The murderer is Xie Qingyun, Xie Baokun, Hu Xiao General Xie Yuandi and an unknown female Qi Refiner."
Emperor Ku interrupted roughly: "Tell me the result!"
"Xie Baokun and Qi Taifu are still fighting, and Xie Qingyun and Wuwei Hou are missing."
"What a Xie Baokun! What a Xie Qingyun!" Emperor Ku was furious and suddenly flew towards the Qi Mansion. His body was really not weak. He had already arrived in the depths of the Qi Mansion after several ups and downs. He saw two figures fighting fiercely on the lake.
"Stop it!"
The huge sounds rolled away wildly. During the fierce battle, the two stopped. They used their strength to fly several times and came to the Broken Bridge and bowed to Emperor Ku, "I (caomin) to see Your Majesty."
"Xie Baokun, you did a good thing!" Emperor Ku coldly looked at the second master of the Xie family.
Mr. Xie lazily sneered: "Caomin and Lord Qi competed with martial arts, but they didn't know what crime they committed?"
He broke into my house for no reason and fought and made a fuss, but said he was "splitting martial arts"... Even though Qi Yuan's amazing qi cultivation skills were so aroused, he almost jumped up: "You thief, so shameless!"
Emperor Ku knew it well and raised his hand to signal Qi Yuan to be calm. The most important thing now is to put things down first. He said with a cold face: "Xie Baokun, you indulge your nephew to fight in the Marquis of Wuwei, and even you will participate in it. You and the Xie family must bear the responsibility for this matter."
When Qi Yuan heard this, his heart was cold. The word "fighting" was extremely wonderful. With his cunning, he couldn't tell that the emperor wanted to make a crime "fighting". With the protection of the Xie family, Xie Qingyun would be a small punishment and a big warning to him at most. He really didn't understand why the emperor wanted to protect Xie Qingyun, and his face became increasingly ugly.
"This is easy." Mr. Xie smiled and said, "My Yinzhuang, the Grand Tutor will go all out to withdraw money. The Marquis' Mansion is old and it is time to repair it." He said in his tone that I smashed your house and helped you repair it more comfortably.
Emperor Ku was worried that Qi Yuan's blood pressure would soar, so he hurriedly asked again: "Where have Wuwei Hou and Xie Qingyun gone?"
"I don't know." Qi Yuan felt angry and said with a hard sentence, "The reckless child does not know that the world is high, and it is unknown whether he has died at the hands of his grandfather."
At this time, a guard came to report: "Your Majesty, someone on the street said that he saw Wuwei Hou and Xie Qingyun, and they fought outside the city."
Why did things get to this point?
Emperor Ku couldn't figure it out, and felt the temples hurting one after another. "You two go out of the city immediately to stop them. Remember, bring Xie Qingyun back to me intact!"
Qi Yuan felt the absurdity. Xie Qingyun ran to his house and fought and made trouble, but he had to save him by himself. Why? But he had been in the officialdom for many years and was his instinct. In connection with Su Mingcheng and the emperor recently, he often had a secret talk with the emperor, and he was not allowed to listen to him. This matter must be inseparable from the content of the secret talk.
He narrowed his eyes and decided to send someone to investigate the matter later. He deliberately responded slowly and acted slowly. He suddenly realized that Xie Baokun acted more leisurely than him and swallowed more slowly than him.
swallow.
At this time, Emperor Ku took a few steps to catch up with them and looked at them coldly: "Play tricks in front of me?"
Qi Yuan said nothing, Xie Baokun smiled and said, "Didn't your Majesty say, go and bring Xie Qingyun back safely?"
"What's the problem with this?" said Emperor Ku.
"Of course there is no problem with this." Xie Baokun said, "But Caomin thought that my little nephew didn't need anyone to rescue him. The one who really had to worry about was Marquis Wuwei."
"All nonsense!" Emperor Ku was one of the few people who had seen Qi Heng's strength with his own eyes. Thirty years ago, he had just ascended the throne and led the army in person. If Qi Heng had not swept the four major legions of Guo State in Yizhou, Li State would have been destroyed long ago. "I ordered you to rush there as quickly as possible, and those who violated the streets."
Xie Baokun shrugged and flew away with his light skills. Qi Yuan bowed and followed closely behind.
In the forest, the remaining clouds collided with the tide, and the air waves first shattered the green leaves all over the forest, and then arched to a thousand meters above the sky. Under the sun, the cloud waves were pushed away vigorously, revealing a fog and a windbreaker.
The smoke and dust are everywhere, and the situation below is unreal from the "Thousand Miles Eyes".
Huo Xi raised his heart high, and while lifting the clouds under him up to avoid the terrible impact, he thought: Could it be that he really will lose, right?
He looked at Lian Tingshan, who had similar concerns, so he smiled bitterly. Both sides of the duel hid countless hands, and Xie Qingyun had already lost, but the knife had somehow sucked something, so powerful that he was "relatives not recognized", which was really unexpected.
"Mingxuan, how did you make a judgment?" He was unwilling to ask his companions for confirmation.
