When Qi Ning saw Longtai, the ministers outside the tent had not yet dispersed.

When Longtai saw Qi Ning entering the tent, he smiled and said, “I just heard that if it wasn’t for you, Chu Cangge might not have been able to win. You have made a great contribution this time.”

“The emperor’s strategizing, the minister admires it greatly.” Qi Ning presented the dog sword in his hand: “This is Chu Cangge’s saber.

“I don’t need any precious swords or swords.” Longtai motioned for Qi Ning to sit down: “You can dispose of this sword yourself.”

Qi Ning hesitated for a while, but still sat down. Long Tai pondered for a while before saying, “Did you understand my painstaking efforts today?”

“What did the emperor say…?”

Longtai sighed: “I deliberately alienated you, not for anything else, but to show Sima Lan. Liu Yun was bought by Sima Lan and stared at my every move in the palace. The news spreads. If I get too close to you, Sima Lan will be suspicious and guard against my every move. Only when you and I are estranged, Sima Lan feels that I can’t think of a way to deal with him alone, so he won’t. doubt me.”

Qi Ning sighed: “The emperor’s layout this time is unexpected for the minister.”

“If you think about it, Sima Lan will also think about it.” Longtai smiled and said: “But you don’t have to feel wronged, I reward you with a BMW, and three hundred taels of gold, plus the title of Duke Huguo, you Are you still not satisfied?”

“The emperor’s grace is mighty, and the minister is grateful.”

Long Tai pondered for a while before saying: “I am actually very worried, lest there will be a mistake, or Sima Lan has other arrangements, so I asked you to transfer to the Black Scale Camp. Fortunately, everything went well.”

“What is the emperor going to do next?” Qi Ning said, “Sima Lan has many followers in the court and opposition, is it possible to catch them all in one go?”

Longtai shook his head and said: “The tree fell and the hozen scattered, so many people follow Sima Lan, it’s not that Sima Lan is really good at buying people’s hearts, it’s just that Sima Lan holds the power and can promote officials at will, most people follow him, just for the benefit. .” With a faint smile: “It’s too early to be without profit, people are like this, but not all those who follow him because of profit are rebels against the party, and there are many talented people among them.”

Qi Ning nodded slightly.

Seeing Qi Ning’s serious expression, Longtai asked, “Do you have anything to say to me?”

“Your Majesty, this minister has a request, I don’t know if it’s appropriate or not.” Qi Ning pondered for a while before saying: “Chu Cangge sneaked into the camp, not only to save Sima Lan, but also to kill many officers and soldiers, the crime of treason is indeed a serious crime. Unforgivable.”

Longtai stared at Qi Ning and asked, “Do you want to plead for his family?”

Qi Ning was stunned. He didn’t expect Longtai to be so keen. He smiled bitterly: “Your Majesty, this minister just wants to take this opportunity to let the ministers understand that the Emperor has compassion for the loyal and righteous people.”

Long Tai said: “I know your thoughts. If it wasn’t for the eradication of the Sima clan, I would not want to lose such a tiger general. I am also very sorry that Chu Cangge committed suicide. If he was used on the battlefield, he would definitely be able to make contributions to the country. .”

“Emperor Shengming!”

“I don’t want to cause turmoil in the court because of this incident.” Long Tai said: “Although Chu Cangge rebelled, his heart of protecting the Lord is commendable. .”

Qi Ning cupped his hands and said, “The emperor is merciful, and the minister has thanked the emperor.”

“Don’t say that I am merciful.” Longtai shook his head and said, “I just use this to let the ministers in the court know that I am loyal to the court, and I will not treat them badly.”

Seeing Longtai’s stern expression, Qi Ning felt a little stern in his heart, thinking that he really underestimated this little emperor. This time, Longtai dealt with Sima Lan neatly.

“Your Majesty, Sima Changshen is now in the Qinhuai Army, if he knows…?” Qi Ning reminded him immediately after thinking of Sima Changshen.

Long Tai smiled and said: “I have already sent the master to lead people to the front line in person,

They brought my secret decree and executed him directly.

”

Qi Ning knew that since Longtai was here, he would naturally not forget Sima Changshen, but he was worrying too much.

Master Xiang is naturally the court swordsman Xiang Tianbei. Xiang Tianbei is a master who secretly protects the emperor in the palace. Not many people in the court know that Xiang Tianbei exists, but Xiang Tianbei is loyal to Longtai.

Naturally, this arrangement must be cautious. After all, Sima Lan has many eyes and ears. If there is a slight leak of this plan in advance, the consequences will be disastrous. With Sima Lan’s skills, even if he does not seek to usurp the throne at this time, he will From now on, Longtai is afraid that he will be completely controlled by him, and he will never have a chance to shoot.

Xiang Tianbei’s participation in this plan is naturally also a reasonable thing.

At this time, Liu Yun had already entered the tent and reported to Longtai, “Reporting to the sage, all the ministers said that Sima Lan committed a rebellion, and such a big rebel against the country must be executed to stabilize the dynasty!”

Longtai pondered for a while, did not speak, and went out of the tent.

The ministers outside the tent were still discussing, but they were nothing more than berating Sima Lan’s wolf ambitions. When someone saw Long Tai leaving the tent, they hurriedly knelt to the ground, and the other ministers also bowed to the ground.

Longtai swept over the ministers and saw that the ministers were respectful to him. Although these ministers used to be very respectful in front of him, the attitude of these people today is obviously different. He is a little happy in his heart. of pleasure.

“I already understand what you mean by Ai Qing.” Long Tai said: “I originally thought that Sima Lan was the hero of the founding of the country, and I originally wanted him to become a monk, but…!”

“Your Majesty, please be blunt.” Dou Kui immediately said: “Sima Lan has indeed made great contributions to the Great Chu, but the imperial court has never treated Sima Lan badly. So far, he has been named the Duke of the State, and the late emperor has also made him As the auxiliary minister, there are not a few members of the Sima family who are officials in the court. It can be said that Long En is mighty, and no one can match the honor of the Sima family. However, Sima Lan does not think of Long En, but the wolf is ambitious The usurpation of power by the dynasty is really something everyone gets and punishes. Since ancient times, there has been a clear distinction between rewards and punishments. Sima Lan’s contributions to the great Chu have been greatly rewarded by the court. Now that he has committed a heinous crime, he should also be punished in accordance with national law. .”

The other ministers all said in unison, “I urge the emperor to treat Sima Lan with the law of the country.”

Longtai pondered for a while, and finally said: “Xue Lingfeng obeys the order!”

Xue Lingfeng has been silent among the ministers. Hearing Longtai’s call, he immediately stepped forward and knelt down. Longtai said: “I ordered you to return to the capital immediately, arrest the Sima Clan Party, and seal the Sima Mansion, but the capital cannot be allowed to There is turmoil.”

Xue Lingfeng cupped his hands and said, “This minister leads the order!” Without saying much, he got up and left neatly.

“Qu Yan’s decree!”

When all the ministers heard the name “Qu Yanzhi”, they immediately became energized. They thought that although Qu Yanzhi was the commander of the Xuanwu Camp, he was from the Black Sword Camp. He was also a direct subordinate of Chu Cangge before. Sima’s party, but they don’t know how the emperor will deal with this person.

Qu Yanzhi never said a word from the beginning to the end. He stepped forward at this time, and seemed to realize that the disaster was imminent, and knelt on the ground: “This minister is here!”

“Qu Yanzhi, I know that you used to be Chu Cangge’s subordinate.” Longtai said calmly: “Some people even said to me that Sima Lan recommended you as the commander of the Xuanwu Camp. You then control the military power of the Xuanwu battalion, I don’t know if it is true or not?”

Qu Yanzhi put his forehead on the ground and said: “The minister only has the heart to be loyal to the court. The minister is a soldier, the court has orders, and the minister is willing to go through fire and water. The court has a decree to transfer the minister to the Xuanwu camp. , with no other thoughts.”

Long Tai nodded and said, “You’re right. You are a soldier, so you should obey my will.” After a while, he said, “You don’t need to go to the Xuanwu camp, this is the position of the commander of the Xuanwu camp. , you let it out first.”

This was what the ministers had expected, and it was natural for the emperor to dismiss Qu Yanzhi.

Qu Yanzhi respectfully said: “The minister will give thanks.”

“Don’t be too busy to thank you.” Long Tai said: “I ordered you to return to the Black Sabre Camp, and take charge of the Black Sabre Camp for the time being. I will give you three months. If you are devoted to your duties for three months, then I will take care of you again. The Black Sabre Camp is handed over to you, otherwise you should be transferred elsewhere.”

Not only were all the ministers shocked, but Qu Yanzhi was also greatly astonished, raising his head abruptly, some dared not believe: “Your Majesty, this minister…!”

“You have been in the Black Sword Camp for many years, and you know how to manage the Black Sword Camp.” Long Tai said: “Some people say that the Black Sword Camp is the private army of the Sima family, but the soldiers of the Black Sword Camp are paid by the court salary, I really don’t know why there is that. rumors.”

Everyone didn’t know Longtai’s thoughts, and they thought that if Qu Yanzhi was to return to take over the military power of the Black Sabre Battalion, it would not only let the tiger return to the mountain, but also raise the tiger.

Lu Xiao, who was in charge of the Ministry of War, couldn’t help but look up and said, “Your Majesty, this minister has something to play!”

“Lu Aiqing, I know what you want to say.” Long Tai said: “Sima Lan is the assistant minister appointed by the late emperor. When I ascended the throne, everything was unknown, and Sima Lan was in charge of political affairs, and that was what I meant. There are so many things in China. To do state affairs, Sima Lan is always unavoidable. Many officials in the DPRK and Sima Lan have contacts with Sima Lan, which is also a reasonable thing. Officials who have contacts in the past are regarded as the same party. You are all officials of Da Chu, and you are all talents who have helped us to run the country and secure the country.

Originally, many officials were terrified, worried that after Sima Lan had subverted the law, Longtai would have to carry out a major cleaning. At this time, after hearing Longtai’s words, their hearts were calm, and they said in unison: “Your Majesty is wise!”

“Qu Yanzhi, I handed over the Black Sabre Camp to you just because I believe that you have always been loyal to the imperial court and not to someone.” Long Tai said: “If one day you really make trouble, I won’t blame you, only blame you. I don’t know anyone myself!”

Qu Yanzhi’s eyes were red, and he said gratefully, “The emperor is mighty to the minister Long En, and the minister swears allegiance to the court to the death.
