A Clash of Gods - Chapter 512

[Chapter 513 1 Hair Don’t Pull Out]

Longtai calmed down and asked with a smile, “Do you think Zhao Bangyao is impeaching you this time, and there is something hidden in it?”

“Your Majesty, the details of the Qianwu Peak that day in this excerpt are quite clear.” Qi Ning said, “This Zhao Zhongcheng is well-informed. If he hears some news about Qianwu Mountain, I believe he has it. This ability, but he is so clear about the details of Qianwuling, and even mentioned that I came out of the Black Stone Hall, which is a bit strange, could it be that Zhao Zhongcheng was also present at the time?” A faint smile: “The Qianwuling incident, yes The Jianghu incident involving the Shenhou Mansion was not within the scope of the Censor’s intervention, so why is he so interested in this matter?”

Long Tai said: “Ximen Wuhen also entered the palace to tell me about the passing of Qianwuling, and he was full of praise for you, saying that you settled a big dispute, yes, I heard that the nine of the Black Lotus Sect. The King of Poison Xi came to Beijing with you to plead guilty, where are the others now?”

“Your Majesty, he should already be in the capital at the moment, and he will find me in the next two days.” Qi Ning said, “Your Majesty, when I was in Chengdu, Xuanyuan Po conveyed the sage’s will and asked me to participate in the attack on Qianwuling. I left the capital. At the time, the emperor only asked me to investigate the Heiyan Cave incident, but for some unknown reason, he changed his mind and asked me to go to Qianwuling?”

Longtai smiled and said: “You really don’t understand what I mean? Actually, this is not what I remembered, but Ximen Wuhen’s advice, saying that when the old man in Jinyi conquered Xichuan, he was very fond of the Miao people, and the Miao people were very fond of the old man in Jinyi. You are all in awe, the Black Lotus Sect and the Miao people want to do it, if you can come forward, the Miao people may not be secretly colluding with the Black Lotus Sect.” After a pause, he said: “You just inherited the title not long ago, the court is not in the middle. The few people still don’t care about you, I gave you the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, and you should thank me for it.”

Qi Ning frowned and said, “Your Majesty, in this way, it is indeed Ximen Wuhen who advised the emperor to let me attack Qianwuling?” Thinking of the conversation with Li Xigong, the undead saint, this time it is confirmed that it is indeed Ximen Wuhen. As advised, I was even more cautious in my heart.

Seeing Qi Ning’s serious expression, Longtai asked, “What’s wrong?”

Qi Ning knew that his suspicions about Ximen Wuhen were just speculation, and there was no real evidence, and it was not easy to speak out in front of Longtai, so he could only say: “I always thought that Ximen Shenhou did not want Chaotang to be involved in the Shenhou Mansion. , I didn’t expect him to take the initiative to involve me this time.”

“Wei Shutong said on the excerpt that the Black Stone Cave was framed, and the real culprit has not yet been found.” Longtai frowned slightly, “What’s going on?”

Qi Ning immediately informed Longtai about some things about Xi Chuansheng, and Longtai nodded slightly: “Since Bai Tangling is alive, Heishidong is naturally framed.” After a moment of thought, he said: “Although no evidence has been found yet. , but Li Hongxin’s behavior is very suspicious, it seems that this person can’t rest easy after all.”

“Wei Shutong is going all out to guard against Li Hongxin.” Qi Ning said: “Although this old guy is cunning, but since he has torn his face with Li Hongxin, now he can only rely on the emperor to support him, and now this person is available. ”

Longtai nodded and said, “I have never thought about moving him now. As long as he can protect Xichuan, I will not only not move him, but also reward him.” He added, “The biggest threat to Xichuan is Li Hongxin, As long as you stare at Li Hongxin, Xichuan will not set off a big storm. I was worried that someone borrowed the Heishidong incident to cause turmoil in the Miaoren Seventy-two Caves. Now that you are on good terms with King Damiao, Heishidong has also turned the corner. Then the Miao people will be able to live in peace, and the stone in my heart will fall to the ground.”

Qi Ning thought that the troubles in Xichuan might not be limited to Li Hongxin. This trip to Xichuan was full of doubts. Whether it was the Beggar Gang, Hua Xiangrong, or even General Bronze, who acted sneakily, there must be a great hidden behind him. It’s just that Qi Ning himself has not fully figured out the conspiracy. He also knows that Longtai is most concerned about Li Hongxin and Miaoren 72 Caves. As long as these two forces do not have trouble, Longtai can feel at ease. It is too large to be fully disclosed.

“You have worked hard all the way, and before you return to the palace, I will not let you eat in the palace.” Long Tai said: “Go back to see your family first,

That’s right, I have already been promoted to the court, and I just issued a decree a few days ago, adding the Marquis of Zhongyi as Duke of Zhen Guo, and his eldest son, Sima Changshen, inheriting the title of Marquis of Zhongyi.

With a cold snort, he said, “The Sima family is now infinitely beautiful.

”

Qi Ning was a little surprised, thinking that in this way, the Sima family has a duke and a marquis, which is indeed extremely glorious.

“The emperor has sealed Sima Lan, but there is no response from King Huainan?” Qi Ning asked in a low voice.

Long Tai said: “After you left the capital, I went to the Empress Dowager every day to say goodbye. She either mentioned that Sima’s family should be sealed, or asked me to let Sima Wanqiong enter the palace.” His face became rather cold: “I don’t take the trouble, I can only On the first day of his ascension to the dynasty, he simply made Sima Lan the Duke of Zhen Guo, so that the queen mother could not force me to let Sima Wanqiong enter the palace immediately. I would take a step back, and she could not be aggressive.”

Qi Ning looked into his eyes and knew that Longtai was more and more disgusted with the Queen Mother, thinking that the harem was involved in government affairs, no wonder the little emperor was dissatisfied, knowing that if this continued, the rift between Longtai and the Sima family would become bigger and bigger, okay In this young emperor, he was only venting his dissatisfaction with the Queen Mother and the Sima family in front of him, but he hid this anger in the outside world.

“Your Majesty, when you ascend to the throne, you will sooner or later live in the harem.” Although Qi Ning knows the affairs of the royal family and cannot interfere easily as a courtier, he has a very good relationship with the little emperor. Instead of blaming the emperor, he felt more cordial and said in a low voice, “I said last time that I want to go to Dongqi to ask for relatives, has the emperor already made up his mind?”

However, Longtai beckoned and motioned for Qi Ning to come closer, and then lowered his voice: “After we discussed this matter last time, I didn’t let others know, Qi Ning, I plan to mention this in public at the court meeting, Don’t know if it’s right?”

“Mention it at the court meeting?” Qi Ning frowned, “Has the emperor made up his mind?”

Long Tai nodded and said: “If you discuss with the queen mother first, the queen mother will definitely block Sima Wanqiong in many ways in order to let Sima Wanqiong enter the palace. At that time, things will be difficult to handle. I promised at the court meeting to make this matter a fact, the emperor Jinkouyu said, to I can’t repent at this time. Besides, I also understand the thoughts of King Huainan’s gang, that Sima Lan has sealed the Zhenguo Company, and Sima Changshen has become a loyal candidate. The King of Huainan must be very dissatisfied. Wang doesn’t seem to react, but I know that he must be extremely dissatisfied with Sima Lan in his heart.”

“Your Majesty is saying that the Sima family has a great reputation now, and many people are jealous. If Sima Wanqiong re-enters the palace, there will be people who will object?” Qi Ning whispered, “The King of Huainan definitely doesn’t want to see Sima. The power of the family is expanding so fast, yes, the emperor, the queen mother wants Sima Wanqiong to enter the palace, does the king of Huainan know about this?”

Longtai smiled strangely and said softly: “I didn’t know it originally, but now I know it. I secretly let people go out and said that the queen mother was going to make Sima Wanqiong the queen, and the king of Huainan was very concerned about this matter. clear.”

Qi Ning laughed and said softly, “If the King of Huainan knew about this, he would of course try to stop it. If the emperor proposed to ask Dong Qi for marriage at the court meeting, the King of Huainan would definitely agree.”

“I think so too.” Long Tai smiled and said, “As long as I don’t marry Sima Wanqiong, no matter who enters the palace, the King of Huainan will do my best to approve, so I will ask someone to propose it at the court meeting tomorrow, in front of a hundred officials. If the matter is settled, the Queen Mother will not be able to stop it when the time comes.”

Qi Ning gave a thumbs up and said, “Your Majesty’s strategy is indeed brilliant.”

“By the way, you have to prepare yourself.” Long Tai said: “Since Zhao Bangyao has got on this book, he will be at the meeting tomorrow. He is afraid that he will make it difficult for you.”

Qi Ning smiled and said, “Thank you, Your Majesty, for reminding me, I know what I have in mind.” After a cough, he said, “Your Majesty, there is one more thing, please let Your Majesty show me.”

“what’s up?”

“My trip to Xichuan this time spent a lot of money before and after.” Qi Ning said seriously: “I don’t know if these expenses are reimbursed by the Ministry of Household, or the emperor gave me the approval here? Of course, apart from the expenses, the emperor is wise. Shenwu, there are still some rewards, not too much, just get a few hundred taels of gold as a reward.”

Longtai stood up straight, went back to the imperial desk and sat down. UU reading www.sonicmtl.com raised his hand and said, “You should step back first, I still have a memorial to read here.” He picked up a memorial and lowered his head to read it. , and ignored Qi Ning.

Qi Ning said: “Your Majesty, you are letting the horses run and not letting the horses graze. The Jinyi Hou’s mansion is poor, and this time the cost is still made up, you can’t be like this. Not interesting enough.”

Long Tai glanced at Qi Ning and said, “I gave you the opportunity to make a fortune and make you stand out in Xichuan, but you still dare to settle accounts with me? Don’t you really not know, there are a few rich kids in Hangzhou for you. You gave a generous gift, and you got some silver money from Dou Lianzhong, which is not a small amount.” He simply dropped the memorial in his hand, and said with a smile: “And Jiang Suiyun, the head of the Ministry of Rites, you are at the Jinghua Book Club, and you are with him. He had a gambling contract and won 10,000 taels of silver from him, why, these are not silver, how dare you cry poor in front of me? Be careful, I will let you sue you for corruption and bribes.”

Qi Ning was stunned and said, “Do these emperors know?”

“Jinyihou, you are making money outside, I just keep one eye closed, but don’t pretend that I don’t know.” Long Tai stared at Qi Ning and smiled: “I treat you as a friend, not among friends. What kind of money should I mention, so as not to hurt the peace.” Seeing Qi Ning’s head dejected, he smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I know that you have worked hard this time, and I will not let you work in vain, and will always give you a chance to get the money.”

Qi Ning was helpless, thinking to himself that he had really run into a mean-spirited emperor.
