A Clash of Gods - Chapter 919

[Chapter 909]

Tantai Huang stood up slowly. Although Qi Ning was surprised, he quickly reached out to help him.

“Go see the emperor.” Tantai Huang said softly: “The emperor will make an order. If Jin Yihou really doesn’t want to go, the emperor and the old man will not be embarrassed.”

Qi Ning frowned and said, “Old Marquis, why did you think of letting me go to the East China Sea?”

“Because of this matter, you are the only one who is not involved in the matter, and only you are qualified to investigate.” Tantai Huang said slowly: “You are the minister of the Ministry of Justice, and this case will naturally be handed over to the Ministry of Justice for investigation, except for you. , who do you think will be able to investigate this case in the East China Sea?”

Qi Ning was stunned for a moment, Tantai Huang’s eyes were deep, and he said profoundly: “Besides you, this old man can’t trust anyone else. Last night, this old man thought about it for a long time. Only Lao Jinyi is waiting for this trip.”

Qi Ning suddenly thought of what happened in the Golden Sabre Mansion today, and he vaguely understood that going to the Golden Sabre Mansion during the day was probably because the old Marquis of Tantai was testing him, or maybe it was because he didn’t behave in the Golden Sabre Mansion. The old marquis was disappointed, and the old marquis of Tantai decided the final candidate.

“The old man will not be hard on others.” The old man walked slowly to the imperial study room, and said as he walked: “You are about to get married soon, and bothering you to go to the East China Sea at this time will definitely delay your wedding date. Embarrassed, the old man will ask the emperor to send someone else.”

Qi Ning knew that since the old marquis was in the palace looking for him to speak alone, he had already made up his mind and decided to let him go to the East China Sea to investigate the case.

The old Marquis of the Golden Sabre has been through the waves for a long time, and his thoughts are naturally thoughtful. Since he wants to let himself go, he must have thought carefully, otherwise he would not have said so much to himself tonight.

Knowing that his big wedding is imminent, the old man still has to make this suggestion. Of course, the reason in the middle is not too simple, and the few words the old man just said are all implied, and it is not easy to say it directly. Qi Ning had to figure it out.

“If the emperor and the old marquis feel that I have to go there in person, the younger generation will naturally have the responsibility.” Qi Ning said sternly.

Tantai Huang stopped and glanced at Qi Ning, his eyes were deep, Qi Ning couldn’t see what he was thinking from his eyes for a while, only saw the old man nodded slightly, and didn’t say a word.

The two returned to the imperial study, where Sima Lan apparently also discussed with Longtai for a long time. Seeing the return of the old Marquis of the Golden Sabre, Sima Lan got up immediately.

Sima Lan is now the Duke of Zhen, and his title is one level higher than that of the old Marquis of the Golden Sabre, but this old prince has always shown great respect for the Marquis of the Golden Sabre.

After Qi Ning helped the old marquis to sit down, the old marquis sighed: “Your Majesty, Tantai Zhilin is dead, the most important thing right now is to send a cadre to go immediately before anyone finds out that he is dead. Over the years , there is a master of the East China Sea, and those who are ill-intentioned in the East China Sea do not dare to act rashly, but once the news of Tantai Zhilin’s suicide spreads, some people are likely to take advantage of it and cause chaos in the East China Sea, so there must be a member The general will hold the East China Sea in case of an accident.”

Long Tai nodded slightly and said, “Old Marquis, I and Duke Zhen Guo were just discussing this matter. The Korean people in the East China Sea still have a foundation. If there are thieves who are immortal, they are likely to take advantage of the chaos, so I and the old prince It means to send someone there immediately.” Picking up a document from the imperial desk, glanced at it, and said, “In this urgent document, the Governor of Tantai committed suicide, but the old prince thought it was the case. It won’t be that simple.”

Sima Lan said sternly: “Old Marquis, I am quite familiar with Tantai Zhilin’s personality. He inherited the strong temperament of the old Marquis. Even if he was in a desperate situation, he never thought of committing suicide. He committed suicide this time. , which is against his temperament, I think it is necessary to investigate carefully and find out the truth.”

“The old minister has already discussed with Jin Yihou just now.” Tantai Huang glanced at Qi Ning: “Jin Yihou is young and promising, thoughtful, and now in charge of the Criminal Department, if you can trouble Jin Yihou for this trip, you will definitely be able to find out. Some clues are coming. Moreover, the Jinyi Hou comes from the Jinyi Qi family, and the Jinyi Qi family is my great Chu military meritorious family.

With the military prestige at his side, Xiao Xiao did not dare to act rashly.

”

Sima Lan nodded slightly and said, “Jinyi Hou is also a suitable candidate.”

“Jinyi Hou, the old man recommended you to go to the East China Sea to investigate this case, what do you think?” Long Tai asked Qi Ning.

Qi Ning stood up and cupped his hands: “The unexpected death of the Governor of Tantai will definitely have a great impact on the situation in the East China Sea. Now that the Northern Han Dynasty is in turmoil, our Great Chu is preparing for the Northern Expedition. At this juncture, there must be no situation within our Great Chu. Therefore, the trip to the East China Sea is imperative.” After taking a look at Tantai Huang, he continued: “Thanks to the old prince and the old prince, if the emperor thinks that the minister can take up this role, the minister should follow the order and go there. .”

“However, Jin Yihou is about to get married. If you go to the East China Sea at this time, will it delay future marriages?” Sima Lan said: “Jin Yihou, your wedding date seems to be very close.”

Qi Ning nodded and said, “I have Lao Guogong to worry about, and the wedding date is set for August 18th, which is only half a month away.”

“The trip to and from the East China Sea will take about ten days. Within half a month, I’m afraid Jin Yihou will not be able to come back in time.” Sima Lan frowned slightly: “If the wedding date set is easily changed, I’m afraid it will not be very lucky.”

Qi Ning shook his head and said, “The old prince doesn’t have to worry about this. State affairs are the most important thing. If such a big event happens in the East China Sea, if the emperor has a will, I can only change the wedding date and choose another auspicious day.”

Tantai Huang nodded and said: “It’s hard to wait for Jinyi like this.”

Longtai looked at Sima Lan and asked, “Old Prince, since Jin Yihou is willing to change the wedding date and choose another auspicious day, do you think Jin Yihou will take up this position?”

Sima Lan said: “Since Jinyihou is focused on state affairs, then Jinyihou is naturally the most suitable candidate for this trip.”

“Okay.” Longtai nodded and said to Qi Ning: “Jinyihou, I have ordered you to go to the East China Sea to investigate the suicide of Tantai Zhilin. In addition, pay attention to the movements of the East China Sea, and we must not let the East China Sea riot. I will also as soon as possible. Discuss with the ministers of the DPRK and China to determine the candidate to succeed Tantai Zhilin, and before the new naval governor is determined, the East China Sea will be handed over to you.”

Qi Ning took a step forward and respectfully said, “This minister leads the order!” He said again, “I have one more thing to ask for, please allow the emperor’s permission.”

“Oh?” Long Tai said, “What’s the matter?”

“This minister is not familiar with the East China Sea, it can be said that he is unfamiliar with the place of life. The governor of Tantai passed away, the circumstances are unknown and confusing, and the minister does not know what is going on in the East China Sea.” There are many aspects involved, and if someone really takes the opportunity to cause chaos, the minister will have to respond decisively, but the minister has no right to mobilize the troops and horses over the East China Sea, so!”

“Jinyihou wants the transfer rights of the East Sea Master?” Sima Lan asked immediately.

Qi Ning shook his head and said, “It’s not the right to mobilize the Donghai Division, but the right to mobilize the entire Donghai County, including the soldiers and horses in the hands of the governor of the East China Sea and all the soldiers and horses of the yamen at all levels in the East China Sea.”

Sima Lan frowned, but Jindaohou had already said: “Your Majesty, if Tantai Zhilin’s death is really for another reason, the old minister believes that someone behind him is already preparing to make trouble in the East China Sea, and this time he appointed Jin Yihou to the East China Sea to investigate Tantai. Tai Zhilin’s death is second, and stabilizing the situation in the East China Sea is the top priority.”

“Old Marquis is right.” Longtai nodded slightly.

“As Jin Yi Hou said, if there is a sudden turmoil in the East China Sea, Jin Yi Hou has no right to mobilize the East China Sea troops, and the East China Sea Division has no generals to lead the troops. To fight.” Tantai Huang’s expression was serious: “So Jin Yihou has the right to transfer troops, it is indeed a matter of course.”

Longtai glanced at Sima Lan, Sima Lan nodded and said: “Your Majesty, what the old man said is very true, once there is a disturbance in the East China Sea, the imperial court cannot mobilize troops and horses quickly, and can only rely on the East China Sea to station troops to quell the chaos. Shun, the old minister thought that he could issue a decree to Jin Yihou, once the East China Sea is in chaos, Jin Yihou can mobilize the troops and horses of the East China Sea as appropriate.”

Qi Ning remained calm, and he naturally understood what Sima Lan said.

Although Sima Lan agreed that Qi Ning could mobilize troops from the East China Sea, there was a precondition, that is, there was a turmoil in the East China Sea, otherwise it would still be impossible to easily mobilize troops.

“Jinyihou, I will give you this will. UU reading www.sonicmtl.com” Longtai did not hesitate, he picked up a pen and wrote a secret order, stamped with a jade seal, and then handed it to Qi Ning: “Once there is turmoil in the East China Sea, You can use this will to control the troops and horses in the East China Sea.”

Qi Ning stepped forward, took it with both hands, and put it into his arms carefully, Sima Lan said by the side: “Jin Yi Hou, this old man bluntly said that the land of the East China Sea is very unusual, you must know that when the East China Sea was pacified, although he killed Zili. King Han Jingting is full of families, but the Han nationality is a prominent family in the East China Sea, with deep roots. Emperor Taizong is merciful and has always been tender towards the East China Sea. Over the years, the court has also implemented the national policy of compassion towards the East China Sea. With the teacher in charge, this will keep the East China Sea safe and sound.”

Qi Ning nodded slightly and said, “I understand.”

“So unless it’s a last resort, you must not call troops and horses in the East China Sea.” Sima Lan said sternly: “You are the Marquis of Great Chu, and going to the East China Sea will already attract attention. Necessary trouble.” Looking at Tantai Huang, he said respectfully: “Old Marquis, you are most familiar with the East China Sea, is this the truth?”

Tantai Huang said: “What Duke Zhenguo said is not bad. Jinyihou, the Han family is a prominent family in the East China Sea, and many powerful gentry in the East China Sea have an intricate relationship with the Han family. It is natural for the court to adopt a gentle policy towards the East China Sea, but the Han family is not wrong. I may not really surrender to my great Chu. Although many years have passed, the Han family has always been wary of the imperial court. If you easily mobilize troops and horses, it is likely to arouse the vigilance of the Han family and many gentry, and cause disputes. Therefore, you must Proceed with caution.”

Qi Ning cupped his hands and said, “Your Majesty, the old man and the old man, don’t worry, I must act cautiously on this trip to the East China Sea.” After thinking about it in my heart, listening to these two old officials, the East China Sea is really not easy, so I will take it myself. With this burden, we really have to be cautious and not allow the slightest negligence.
