A Clash of Gods - Chapter 237

[Chapter 236]

After Su Zhen entered the imperial study, he never said a word, but at this time he sneered: “Marquis Jinyi, you rushed to Commander Xue’s mansion and asked Commander Xue to mobilize the troops, and Commander Xue obeyed your instructions and mobilized the troops. Horse?” He snorted coldly, “Your father is the second-rank guard general and the head coach of the Qinhuai Army, but although you are a marquis, you do not have the right to transfer troops, not to mention the dignified Tiger God Camp, which is the yamen of the capital. I

have no right to mobilize.”

“Marquis Wuxiang, I advise you to be obedient and listen clearly. When did I say let Commander Xue transfer troops, and when did I order Commander Xue to do business?” Qi Ning only felt that Su Zhen not only did not have the bearing of a marquis, His mind was obviously corroded by alcohol, and he became too stupid. He said lightly: “I just discovered some emergencies, so I went to the door to find Commander Xue and explain the seriousness of the matter. Commander Xue resolutely mobilized for the safety of the capital. Soldiers and horses, this will prevent today’s situation from getting out of control.”

Lord Lu said lightly: “So, is Xue Lingfeng’s reason for mobilizing the soldiers and horses, or because of your persuasion?”

Longtai frowned and suddenly said.

: “No need to argue, I said just now that now is not the time to be held accountable, and Xue Lingfeng’s deployment of troops is not arbitrary, it is my intention.”

As soon as this statement came out, it was not only other people, but also Qi Ning and Xue Lingfeng were also startled.

The King of Huainan was stunned for a moment before he said, “It turns out that the emperor issued the decree last night.”

“Uncle Huang is wrong, I didn’t issue the decree last night.” Long Tai calmly said: “It’s just that I have summoned the Jinyi Hou before. I heard that the Marquis of Jinyi was held hostage by a group of thieves before, so I gave him a special order that if the situation is critical, the troops of the Tiger God Battalion can be mobilized.” Xiang Qining said: “Marquis Jinyi, I gave you the share. The handwritten letter, can you take it with you?”

Qi Ning knew that Longtai was here to save himself, thinking that this little emperor was really funny enough, and hurriedly said: “Go back to the sage, the minister has always carried it with him.” He took it out of his arms. Out of the exoneration edict written by Longtai last time, he said with Longtai: “Sir, it’s here.”

This is an exoneration edict, not the edict that Longtai said can transfer troops to the Tiger God Battalion, so naturally Qi Ning will not let others read the content carefully.

It’s just that Longtai and Qi Ning sing together, and everyone will naturally not doubt it.

However, Longtai gave Qining a special decree,

giving him the privilege to mobilize the Tiger God Camp, but all the ministers present had their own thoughts.

Marquis Zhongyi was secretly suspicious, thinking that if Longtai really gave Qi Ning a special order to mobilize the Tiger God Battalion, why did this person find him last night?

What’s so odd about this?

Su Zhen heard that the little emperor allowed Qi Ning to mobilize the Tiger God Camp, his face changed slightly, and he was surprised and jealous.

The Marquis of Wuxiang and the Marquis of Jinyi were both heroes of the founding of the country back then, and the two predecessors of the old marquis were also warriors in the battlefield, but after the death of the two old marquis, the situation of the two families was completely different.

Jinyi Hou was inherited by Qi Jing. Qi Jing had already made great achievements when the old Houye was still alive. Since then, Qi Jing inherited the old Houye’s mantle and commanded the Qinhuai Army.

Compared with Qi Jing, Su Zhen is completely the style of a playboy. When Qi Ning was born and died on the battlefield, Su Zhen lingered among the fireworks and willow alleys, looking for flowers and asking willows, and boasting of being romantic.

In fact, since the death of the old Marquis of Wuxiang, the Su family has been closely related to military power

(this chapter is not over, please turn the page). For some idle time, Su Zhen could only live a life of brocade clothing and jade food under the shadow of the old Marquis of Wuxiang.

The Su Qi family decided to marry in the early years, but for Su Zhen, it was a complicated mood.

The power of the Su family was declining day by day. He knew that being able to marry Jinyi Hou would be beneficial to the Su family. After all, with the deep roots of the tree and the support of the Qi family, the Su family could still maintain a stable position in the court.

However, Su Zhen and Qi Jing are almost the same age. They are both hereditary children. Qi Jing’s military exploits are well-known and far-reaching. Their literary talents and martial arts are far superior to Su Zhen. In private, it is inevitable that some people will ridicule Su Zhen and Su Zhen’s mouth. Shang didn’t dare to say anything, but in his heart there was still jealousy and hatred for Qi Jing’s relatives.

I thought that after Qi Jing passed away, the Jinyi family would also decline rapidly. Su Zhen also gloated at the misfortune in his heart. Like many people, no one would think that Qi Ning, who was called the Jinyi fool, could maintain the prestige and majesty of the Jinyi family.

But when he heard the words of the little emperor today, Su Zhen was greatly surprised, thinking to himself why Longtai had such a preference for Qi Ning, and he trusted Qi Ning so much as soon as he ascended the throne?

Is it because he is the helm of the Jinyi family?

The King of Huainan said with a smile: “Since it is the emperor’s intention, there is no need to investigate this matter.” He added: “What Jinyi Hou said just now is not wrong. The most urgent task is to solve the current trouble, not to investigate the guilt.” Looking at Xue Lingfeng, He asked, “Commander Xue, what is the current situation?”

Xue Lingfeng cupped his hands and said, “Reporting to the sage and your lords, this minister has mobilized all the troops and horses of the Tiger God Camp and blocked the streets and alleys in the city. The people who were infected with the virus suddenly broke out today, and many people rushed out of their homes, causing chaos in the capital. The minister has ordered that anyone who sees infected with the virus will be captured first, and then sent to Nanhe Lane. The side was temporarily imprisoned. The servant has already vacated the prison in Nanhe Lane, but!” After a pause, he continued: “But when the servant entered the palace, he was already imprisoned in Nanhe Lane. There are two or three hundred people, and there are not a few people who have been poisoned in the streets and alleys. According to the estimates of the ministers, at the current speed, today, there are probably six or seven hundred people infected with the virus who will be arrested.”

Longtai slightly changed his color and frowned .

Said: “So many people have been infected?”

“Sir, this is just the beginning.” Xue Lingfeng looked solemn, “Today’s poisonous people are only the first batch. No one has noticed, how many people are infected, it is impossible to determine until now, the minister is only worried that more people will be infected every day in the future.”

The King of Huainan frowned and said: “The Black Lotus Sect is really vicious, and it wants to kill so many people. Your Majesty, this time, you must not be merciful to the Black Lotus Sect, and you must also let the Miao people know that they will act recklessly for their own sake. Pay the price.”

“Poisoning in the capital is no different from rebellion.” Master Lu immediately said: “Sir, the imperial court must immediately start preparing to destroy the Black Lotus Sect.”

Longtai just nodded slightly and said to Xue Lingfeng. : “You made an immediate decision and took control of the situation. You did a good job, but the next situation may be more severe. I ordered you to do your best to ensure the order of the capital and never let the situation get out of control.” After thinking for a while, he said again. : “Remember, those people are all attacked by the virus infection. It’s okay to catch them first, but don’t really hurt them

(this chapter is not over, please turn the page).”

Xue Lingfeng respectfully said: “The minister obeys!” After a pause, he said: “Sir, there are too many infected people, and the vacant places in Nanhe Lane may soon be overcrowded. Therefore, the ministers have to ask the emperor to order, and when necessary, they can requisition the capital compound to house the infected.”

Long Tai nodded and said, “I’m sure.” The

Marquis of Zhongyi hardly said a word, and at this time he finally said: “Xue Lingfeng, it is not necessary to requisition the Beijing Central Courtyard, but don’t disturb the residents. And if you don’t have to, try to find some abandoned places to resettle.”

“Being in a humble position!” Xue Lingfeng said: “Sacred, still There is one thing, the minister has to ask for an decree!”

“What?”

Xue Lingfeng hesitated for a while before saying: “This time the virus infection, the situation is critical, if the virus cannot be detoxified in time, the minister is worried about those infected by the virus The people will die from poison one by one, and the capital will be like a mountain of corpses!”

Everyone present frowned, and even Qi Ning’s expression became solemn.

“The minister asks the sage, what should be done if those infected die on a large scale?” Xue Lingfeng’s voice was also very serious.

Su Zhen couldn’t help but said, “What’s wrong with that? Immediately send someone to the outskirts of Beijing to find a place. If someone really wants to die, it can be transported out of the city and buried. Why bother with such a thing!”

“Marquis Wuxiang, I’m afraid it’s not as simple as you said.” Qi Ning didn’t look at Su Zhen, but said lightly: “Those people died of poisoning, if they were just buried, the poison would still be on their bodies, maybe they would still be there in the future. Trouble will be born.”

“Oh?” Su Zhen sneered and asked, “But I don’t know what good opinion Jinyi Hou has?”

“I don’t have a high opinion, but I have a low opinion.” Qi Ning said: “If it is really poisonous to die, only The corpse can be burned, so that it can be destroyed together with the poison.”

“Incinerate the corpse?” Huainan Wang frowned slightly: “Jinyi Hou, I’m afraid this is inappropriate. The body is skinned, and it is affected by the parents, after the death of the person. , it should be buried under the loess, if it burns with a fire, then the family of the deceased will only be afraid of resentment against the imperial court.” Sigh: “In the future, they will not even have a place to worship. Qi Ning said sternly:

”

My lord, the balance between the two is beneficial. If the dead body of the poison is not completely destroyed, then if it is buried, even the buried soil will be poisonous, and the root cause will continue. Will

calamities happen again?” “Does Jinyi Hou worry too much?” Su Zhen said yin and yang strangely: “Under the dust, how can calamities happen again? The lord said it well, his body is hairy, Shou’s parents, if the imperial court orders the burning of the corpse, the people will not blame you, the Lord of Jinyi, but the sage. Are you trying to make the people resent the sage?”

Qi Ning glanced at Su Zhen and said lightly, “Wuxiang Hou, it doesn’t matter if I don’t worry about it, I’m afraid you should worry more about it yourself.”

Su Zhen was startled and asked in confusion, “What do you mean?”

Qi Ning stared at Su Zhen, his voice was very low, and he said word by word: “Don’t you know that Marquis Wuxiang, you have been infected with the virus!”
