There was silence in the royal study room, Longtai didn’t speak, and several important officials didn’t speak either.

“The capital is in chaos now. You are all important officials of the imperial court, the pillars of the empire, why are you silent?” The little emperor glanced at several ministers and said lightly.

Although he had just ascended the throne and was still young, there was a calm and steady air in his speech and manner.

Marquis Zhongyi is the auxiliary minister, and is already the number one official of the current court. Longtai said that, Marquis Zhongyi finally took two steps from Qi Ning’s side, walked to the middle, and bowed: “Reporting to the sage, this is not a big deal, The troops and horses have been mobilized, and the commotion in the capital will soon subside, so the sage does not need to worry too much.”

Longtai frowned and said, “This is unprecedented, how can I not worry about it?”

Ximen Shenhou also finally stood up and said, “I have already found the root cause, and once you know the root cause, there is a way to deal with it. It is really the incompetence of the minister, and I ask the saint to forgive me!”

“At this time, there is no need to discuss any crimes.” Long Tai said: “Shen Hou of Ximen, I ask you, you said earlier that this incident was related to a Miao sect in Bashu, can you be sure?”

“Reporting to the sage, the Shenhou mansion found out that there is a poison in the corpse that is only produced in the Yin-Yang Realm of Baishagang in the Xiling of Bashu, and that is the territory of the Baimiao people.” Ximen Shenhou replied: “Among the Baimiao people there is a man named The person who is easy to swing, this person is called Jiuxi Poison King, known as the first master of poison in Bashu, and only he can make this kind of poison.”

Longtai frowned: “The swing is easy?”

“Exactly.” Ximen Shenhou said: “According to the minister’s knowledge, Qiu Qianyi should be a member of the Black Lotus Sect, and the Black Lotus Sect is a cult founded by the Miao people.”

Longtai asked: “So, the chaos in the capital is really the work of the Black Lotus Sect?”

The King of Huainan had already sneered: “Your Majesty, I have heard of the name of the Black Lotus Sect.”

Longtai looked at the King of Huainan with a slightly respectful expression on his face, and asked, “Uncle also knows about the Black Lotus Sect?”

Qi Ning stole a glance and saw that Longtai’s face was respectful, his tone was soft, and he smiled secretly in his heart. He only thought that this little emperor was also a good actor.

The King of Huainan was obviously still satisfied with Longtai’s attitude. He nodded and said, “I know a little. The Black Lotus Sacred Sect is located in a remote location, so the court may have been neglecting it.” He glanced at Ximen Wuhen and said with a smile: “God The Hou’s Divine Hou’s Mansion, I am afraid that it is not clear about the Black Lotus Holy Sect.”

Ximen Wuhen cupped his hands and said: “What the lord said is. The Black Lotus Holy Sect is located in a remote area, and it rarely travels to the Central Plains. It has always been active in the southwest of Bashu, and acts in a low-key manner. The Shenhou Mansion really doesn’t count what they know about them. Too many. The duty of the Shenhou Mansion is to supervise and control the forces on the arena , Shenhou Mansion really did not spend too much manpower and financial resources on them.”

Long Tai has already asked: “Uncle Huang, how much do you know about the Black Lotus Sect?”

“Actually, it’s not too much.” King Huainan said: “Your Majesty, as far as I know, this Black Lotus Sacred Sect has existed for more than 20 years. …!” With a cold smile: “Lack of education, cruelty and cruelty, Miao people have seventy-two holes, this black Miao people are the most powerful among the Miao people, and this group of people always wants to separate one side. , it is a country of its own, but after all, its strength cannot compete with our Great Chu Empire, and I dare not openly raise the flag of rebellion.”

“They want to rebel?” Longtai frowned.

The King of Huainan said with a smile: “The people of the wild,

I have never known the mighty and mighty nature of the heavens, and the people who are not my race have different hearts.

After a pause, he said: “This Black Lotus Sect, as far as I know, is a group of rebels who want to stand up for themselves.

There are 100,000 mountains in Bashu, and the mountains are continuous. There are seventy-two Miao people. There are dozens of tribes that grow and mature Miao. In fact, they have always been intriguing with each other. Gather under their banner, and when the strength grows, they will raise troops to rebel.

”

“The Black Lotus Sect is really whimsical.” Huainan’s first senior official with gray beards sneered: “Even if all the Miao people add up, there are only a few hundred thousand people, so what strength is there to rebel?”

The King of Huainan said with a smile: “Master Lu, you can’t say that. Those Miao people are very familiar with the environment of Bashu, and they are not a rabble. If you really want to turn back, the court will not be afraid, but it is also a big trouble.” After a while, he said, “The old marquis in Jinyi sent troops to conquer Bashu. If it wasn’t for the help of the Miao people, it would not have been so smooth.” Having said this, he glanced at Qi Ning with a smile.

Qi Ning also knew the past of the old Houye Jinyi punishing Shu, so the Qi family of the Jinyi Hou and the King Li family of Shu also forged a grudge.

He didn’t make a sound, but he already had a faint feeling in his heart that the Black Lotus Sect was going to be unlucky this time.

At this moment, I heard a voice from outside: “The Marquis of Wuxiang and the commander of the Tiger God Camp ask to see you!”

Immediately after seeing Su Zhen hurried in, followed by Xue Lingfeng, the commander of the Tiger God Battalion.

The two came forward to meet, Longtai frowned slightly, and said only: “Be flat!”

Su Zhen got up and cupped his hands to explain: “Reporting to the sage, the house… something happened in the house. After the minister received the decree, he came too late, and asked the sage to convict!”

Qi Ning was relieved at this moment, thinking to himself that he would be summoned to the small court meeting today. After all, this Su Zhen was also one of the four marquis, and it was impossible to ignore him, but it turned out that this guy was late.

As always, Xue Lingfeng stood upright like a javelin. Everyone present was an important court official. Although he was the commander of the Tiger God Battalion, he had the lowest status among the officials in the Imperial Study Room and could only stand at the bottom.

Su Zhen had sweat on his forehead and was panting. He seemed to be rushing over all the way. After getting up, he looked around, hesitated, and finally came to Qi Ning’s head.

Qi Ning knew that although the four hereditary lords had the same status, they were still divided into high and low.

When he saw Su Zhen standing next to him, he knew that the Marquis of Jin Dao still hadn’t come after all, otherwise it would definitely be Marquis Jin Dao standing beside him.

He couldn’t help but glance at Su Zhen, then frowned, his face changed slightly.

Su Zhen also just happened to look at him at this time, seeing Qi Ning frowning, thinking that Qi Ning was disgusted with him, sneered and turned his face away.

But I heard the official surnamed Lu ask in a deep voice, “Xue Lingfeng, last night the Tiger God Battalion dispatched troops to block the streets of the capital, but what was your order?”

Xue Lingfeng cupped his hands and said, “Reporting to your lord, it was my humble office who learned that someone was making trouble in the streets, so they dispatched people to protect the order in Beijing.”

Qi Ning thought to himself that it seemed that the surnamed Lu was going to show his knife and accuse Xue Lingfeng.

Xue Lingfeng called himself a humble position in front of this person, but he didn’t know what this person was.

“I have already learned that last night was just a group of beggars messing around on the street.” Although Mr. Lu is old, his waist is straight, and his eyes have not lost their sharpness because of his advanced age. “A group of beggars will go to war. , is it too reckless to call out hundreds of Tiger God Battalion soldiers?”

Xue Lingfeng’s angular face was calm and calm, and he said, “I dare not neglect the slightest duty.”

“Without the emperor’s will, you mobilized hundreds of people. This is in the capital. Didn’t you think that it would cause a commotion?” Master Lu said coldly, “I heard the movement last night, and I thought it was someone in the capital who rebelled. ”

Xue Lingfeng’s body trembled slightly, and quickly said, “It’s a dereliction of duty, please forgive me!”

“Your Majesty, in any case, as the commander of the Tiger God battalion guarding the capital, without His Majesty’s will, he dispatches troops without authorization and violates the laws of the country. !”

Qi Ning frowned, his eyes showing chills.

At this time, he admired Xue Lingfeng even more. Xue Lingfeng only mobilized a few hundred people last night, and some people immediately attacked today. If a large number of troops and horses were really mobilized to block the capital last night, UU reading www.sonicmtl.

The result of com today is only more serious.

“Xue Lingfeng, is it your own idea to mobilize troops and horses to block the streets of the capital, or is there another secret?” Then Master Lu said in a deep voice, “You have always been cautious, and you have been in charge of the Tiger God Camp for many years, and you haven’t come out. What’s wrong, why are you doing it yourself this time?”

Qi Ning sneered in his heart, knowing that the man was already targeting him.

Xue Lingfeng’s expression was solemn, but his voice was very calm: “I don’t dare to arbitrate power and self-determination, it is purely to ensure the safety of the capital.” Turning to Longtai: “Sacred Lord, the ministers are loyal to serve the country, and there is absolutely no intention of self-determination.”

Longtai hadn’t spoken yet, but he heard Qi Ning say lightly: “My lords, if Commander Xue hadn’t made preparations earlier, the situation in Beijing would have been even worse. Now that countless people in the city are threatened by the virus, you are not planning how to solve it. In this crisis, you are here to hold Commander Xue accountable again and again, don’t you know that there are priorities?”

Everyone immediately turned to look at him.

Master Lu’s face was ugly, and he said lightly: “Jinyihou, the epidemic is indeed very important, but is the royal court’s law not important? Xue Lingfeng is the commander of the Tiger God Battalion. Soldiers, isn’t it an extremely serious crime?” With a cold snort, he said, “If the generals of the army can dispatch troops without regard to the court’s law, has the Jinyi Hou thought about the consequences?”

“This marquis knows what Master Lu means.” Qi Ning smiled: “Master Lu’s dedication to safeguarding the laws of the court is admirable.” Glancing at the man next to him, he said, “Someone asked Xue Lingfeng if he had dispatched troops without authorization. Out of his original intention, Ben Marquis just said it straight, he mobilized his troops and horses, and Ben Marquis rushed to his house with 100,000 fires. After a while, he said slowly: “If you have any more questions, Ben Hou will answer them together.”
