A Clash of Gods - Chapter 246

[Chapter 245 Gold Medal]

Qi Ning thought to himself that the little emperor seemed to be more shrewd than he thought, and obviously saw the strangeness in this incident, and said in a low voice, “Your Majesty, do you think there is something strange about this matter?”

Longtai didn’t say anything, just stretched out his hand and took more than a dozen booklets from the imperial desk and handed them to Qi Ning. Qi Ning took it with both hands, then flipped through a few books, frowned and said, “Your Majesty, these booklets are all please The purpose is to exterminate the Black Lotus Sect?”

“It only happened yesterday, but these documents were sent to me early this morning.” Long Tai said: “Among them, Lu Xiao, the Minister of War, and some important officials, some of whom I didn’t know about before. The details, only this time I found out that they were all the henchmen of the King of Huainan.”

“Your Majesty thinks that these excerpts are all instructed by the King of Huainan?” Qi Ning asked.

Longtai sneered and said: “Besides the King of Huainan, where else can there be anyone else? Didn’t you see yesterday that the man surnamed Lu and the King of Huainan from the Ministry of War seemed to have a deep hatred with the Black Lotus Sect. Three words are inseparable from sending troops to destroy the black. Holy Lotus Sect.”

Qi Ning nodded slightly and asked in a low voice, “Is that the Marquis of the Golden Sword really belonged to the King of Huainan?”

“I don’t hide it from you. When the Marquis of the Golden Saber was young, he was picked up by Emperor Taizu with his own hands. He has made outstanding achievements. As far as I know, in his early years, he was the number one general under Emperor Taizu, and he was indeed capable. Fight for a good fight.” Long Tai said softly: “But after Emperor Taizu died, Emperor Taizong took over the throne and promoted your family. Your brocade-clothed old marquis are brave and invincible on the battlefield, and are highly regarded by Emperor Taizong. With countless military exploits, the limelight even overshadowed the Marquis of the Golden Sword.”

Qi Ning thought to himself that this was the emperor and the courtier.

The little emperor said a few words, but Qi Ning keenly captured that the Marquis of the Golden Sword was definitely the most important general that Emperor Taizu relied on to conquer the world, and he must also be a generation of famous generals who could conquer the world.

It’s just that after Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, it would obviously not be good for Emperor Taizong if he continued to let the Marquis of the Golden Sword continue to dominate.

The Marquis of Jin Dao was promoted by Emperor Taizu with one hand. Obviously, he has a natural closeness to the family of Taizu. This is also one of the important reasons for Emperor Taizu to promote Jinyi Hou.

During Emperor Taizong’s time, the military exploits and limelight of the Jinyi Hou Qi family overshadowed the Jindaohou, but the Jindaohou was the founding father who made countless military exploits after all. Emperor Taizong wanted to win people’s hearts. It is also a matter of course for Hou to become one of the four hereditary Hours of the Empire.

“When Emperor Taizong established the first emperor as the crown prince, the Marquis of the Golden Saber had an excerpt, but I have never seen that excerpt. I only heard that the Marquis of the Golden Saber did indeed advise Emperor Taizong to establish the Prince of Huainan as the prince.” Longtai said slowly: “But after that excerpt, the Marquis of Jin Dao never went to the second exposition, and since then he has never mentioned the matter of setting up another prince. After the emperor took the throne, he was also very kind to Marquis Jin Dao. Taking care of him, he was given a fief, and the eldest son of the Marquis of Jindao was transferred to the Bashu Army to lead the troops.

“Ba Shu Army?”

Longtai glanced at Qi Ning and said, “You should also learn more. Your Qi family is a family of military meritorious deeds, how can you not know something about the various legions of my Great Chu?”

Qi Ning smiled awkwardly, and Long Taicai said: “I have two legions in Great Chu, one is the Qinhuai Legion, you are a member of the Qi family, and you are most familiar with the Qinhuai Legion, so I won’t say much. West of Bashu, Tuguhun He has been harassing the border of Shu, so when the father was in power, he sent a team of troops to station at the junction of Tuguhun and Bashu, where the mountains and mountains are steep and the roads are difficult and dangerous. Invade.”

“So it is.” Qi Ning smiled and said, “The first emperor was wise.” I thought that among the great masters, there was a Dharma King of the Sun from the Qinghai-Tibet Snow Mountain, but I didn’t know if it was from Tuguhun.

However, he thought in his heart that stationing troops and horses on the border of Bashu, although there is an intention to defend against Tuguhun, is probably not the only intention.

Qi Ning naturally would not forget Li Hongxin, the king of Shu. The Li family was the emperor of the land in Bashu.

But it was also after a tragic battle that the Li family came to breathe while the Northern Han people went south.

Although Bashu surrendered to Dachu, but the Li family was not removed, Dachu could not completely control Bashu in the palm of his hand, and mobilized troops and horses to garrison west of Bashu. Obviously, he also wanted to monitor and restrain Li Hongxin, the king of Shu.

“The emperor’s kindness to the Emperor Jindaohou is mighty, but Jindaohou hasn’t caused any trouble over the years, and he doesn’t have much contact with the King of Huainan.” Long Tai said: “But these officials who want to exterminate the Black Lotus Sect are naturally. There is no doubt that the king of Huainan is a partisan.” After a pause, his brows wretched, his delicate face showed a dignified color, and he said softly: “If there were no such points, I would not think too much, but… Qi Ning, what do you think the King of Huainan wants to exterminate the Black Lotus Sect?”

“He is an extremely wealthy prince. The Black Lotus Sect is far away on the border of Bashu, and it is just a gang in the rivers and lakes.” Qi Ning also frowned: “Your Majesty, this minister dares to ask, have you heard of the King of Huainan and the Black Lotus Sage? What kind of feud is there in the teaching?”

Longtai shook his head and said, “I only learned yesterday that there is such a gang as the Black Lotus Sect…!” After a pause, he said, “An epidemic virus suddenly appeared in Beijing. It was found out that it had something to do with the Black Lotus Sect. I just learned that this matter was related to the Black Lotus Sacred Sect. Before it was finally determined whether it was the poison of the Black Lotus Sacred Sect, the King of Huainan, Lu Xiao and others were eager to exterminate the Black Lotus Sect. Saint Lotus Sect, this is too hasty.”

Qi Ning nodded slightly and said, “What the emperor said is very true, and there is something strange in the middle.” After a pause, he said, “Your Majesty, the Shenhou Mansion has caught the disciples of the Jiuxi Poison King, and they should be able to interrogate some things.”

Longtai lowered his voice and said, “I am in a very complicated mood right now, and I cannot be sure whether the Divine Marquis Mansion is really capable of doing things like this, or…!” He chuckled and said nothing.

“Your Majesty is saying…!” Qi Ning lowered his voice: “There is something wrong with the Shenhou Mansion?”

“That’s not what I said.” Long Tai said: “I just think that if it is a person from the Black Lotus Sect, or a disciple of the Jiuxi Poison King, shouldn’t they flee early after poisoning? Even if they stay in the capital, You should also try your best to hide your deeds, why was he caught by Shenhou Mansion so quickly?”

Qi Ning thought that the little emperor’s mind was really careful, and said softly: “Your Majesty, the Shenhou Mansion is full of eyeliners in the capital. After the incident, they immediately searched for the murderer in the city. It is not impossible to catch the murderer.”

“I hope so, but I have to be careful, that’s why I sent you to confirm.” Longtai looked solemn: “I don’t want to be confused and become a puppet that some people want to play with. Qi Ning, you go to Shenhou’s mansion and interrogate alone. , First of all, you have to determine whether the person caught by the Shenhou Mansion is really the disciple of the Jiuxi Poison King, and secondly, you have to find out whether the epidemic in the capital has anything to do with the Jiuxi Poison King.” After thinking for a while, Cai said: “Also, if it is really the Jiuxi Poison King, you have to ask whether it was done by the Jiuxi Poison King personally or sent by the Black Lotus Sect.”

Qi Ning knew that Longtai sent him to go there, and he really trusted him very much.

Longtai showed a slight smile, nodded and said: “I can’t interrogate myself, you are my substitute.” He took a gold medal and handed it over, and said, “You take this and go to the Shenhou Mansion. I dare not stop you.”

Qi Ning took it with both hands, put it in his arms, and said, “Your Majesty, I’ll go over now.”

Longtai nodded, but without waiting for Qi Ning to turn around, thinking of something, he stopped and said, “Wait a minute, Qi Ning, you still have to remember to interrogate, if it wasn’t for the poison king of Jiuxi sending someone to poison, why would the epidemic poison in Beijing contain Jiuxi Poison King’s unique poison? Whose hands did the poison fall into?”

Qi Ning smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Your Majesty, I know all this, and I will definitely ask in detail.”

After leaving the palace, the capital was already snowing heavily at this time. Although the sky had already lit up, the snow had already covered the sky.

The snow was so dense that the streets of the capital had begun to accumulate snow, and the palaces and pavilions had begun to be covered with silver.

When Qi Ning came to the Shenhou Mansion, the people in the Shenhou Mansion were a little surprised, but the officials guarding in front of the Shenhou Mansion had seen Qi Ning several times in the past two days, and they already knew him. After the report, they did not let Qi Ning. Ning waited and welcomed into the mansion.

Xuanyuan Po came out in person, saw Qi Ning, cupped his hands and said, “Master Hou is here, I don’t know what you are doing?”

“God isn’t there?”

Xuanyuan Po respectfully said, “The Marquis Shen has been too tired these past two days. UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com only rested at the East Court half an hour ago. Does the Marquis want to see the Marquis? I will report to you.”

“No, no.” Qi Ning smiled and said, “Shen Hou has been working too hard these past two days. After finally taking a break, don’t bother.”

“Yes!” Xuanyuan Po said respectfully.

Qi Ning said: “Actually, this Marquis came here to see the disciples of the Nine River Poison King, and it’s not a big deal.”

Xuanyuan Po was stunned for a moment, a little surprised, but he still said: “Master Hou already knew that he had caught the murderer?”

“Oh, you have already concluded the trial?” Qi Ning asked, “That person admitted that he poisoned him?”

Xuanyuan Po hurriedly said: “Report to Lord Hou, the murderer has not confessed yet, and is still under interrogation. Lord Hou, why don’t you have a cup of tea here first, and report to Lord Hou immediately once the trial results come out.”

“Xuanyuan Colonel is very polite.” Qi Ning smiled and said, “This Marquis is not from the Shenhou Mansion. I really want to get the results of the trial. You have no reason to report to this Marquis. In fact, this Marquis is not qualified to ask to know. It’s just that the results come out. Before, it could not be said that he was the murderer, at most it was just annoying.”

Xuanyuan Po was a little embarrassed, but he still respectfully said, “What the Hou Ye taught me!”

“Where is the suspect now? Take me there.”

Xuanyuan Po suddenly looked embarrassed, he hesitated, but still said: “Marquis, the rules of the Shenhou mansion, when interrogating suspects, do not disturb, even the officials of the Shenhou mansion, also can’t approach.”

Qi Ning didn’t bother, he stretched his hand into his arms, and when he took it out, he already had the gold medal in his hand, and asked, “Xuanyuan Colonel knows this?”

Xuanyuan Po only glanced at it, then immediately fell to his knees and respectfully said, “Long live my emperor!” He raised his head and said, “Master Hou, I will take you over here!”

Qi Ning took the gold medal in his arms, thinking that this gold medal is really useful, and if he doesn’t have to return it to the little emperor, it will be cool.
