Until today, or until the previous moment, no matter the mansion of Prime Minister Luan, the mansion of Prince Liang, or Li Fuyao and Xie Ying, they all ignored one thing on purpose.
And Luan Yan figured out the most important part in the entire situation.
It was why the Emperor was indifferent when the situation in Huaiyang City was not opaque any more. Apart from summoning the ministers of six ministries and the commanders of Imperial Army, and secretly put Xue Yu, the chief of Imperial Household Department to death, the Emperor took no other actions.
It was too flat.
In Huaiyang City, Luan Ping was the most prestigious, Prince Liang was the most talented in military and the most ambitious, Prince Qi was the last one to compete, and Li Fuyao was eager to see a messy Huaiyang City.
But the owner of Huaiyang City was the Emperor of Chen Kingdom.
This point was beyond all doubts.
Thus, i
When the Imperial Army of the west camp was going to the Imperial Study, Prince Liang took his time getting to the south gate.Prince Liang was wearing his armor and leading the private soldiers of his mansion. Prince Liang got a huge figure and with his armor on, he looked nothing different from other warriors on the battlefield.However, after Prince Liang passed through the south gate and got to the path of the palace, his face soon turned pale with fear.A head was hung on the overhanging eave of the turret in front of the path.Prince Liang fixed his eyes upon the head and found that it was Chen Yin’s.A member of the royal family, who was supposed to have a bright future, was killed tonight.Prince Liang stopped his horse.Countless generals and soldiers of the Imperial Army appeared on the path with sword in their hands. They stared at Prince Liang who plotted a rebellion.
In an instant, the atmosphere became weird. Prince Qi, who never scrambled for anything in Huaiyang City, opened his mouth just now and his tone was tough.All the master-hands from the Imperial Palace were dumbfounded for a moment.Before they came here, someone had suspected that Prince Qi was in the Xun Mansion, but as a matter of fact, these master-hands who had earned a name in the society of Chen Kingdom had never put Prince Qi in their eyes.In Huaiyang City, even the people from the poorest corners of society knew about Prince Qi’s personality. When they talked about him, they always said that he never strove for anything or he lived a secluded life, while some radical ones would possibly say that he was good-for-nothing or timid.But no one dared to say that they knew exactly what Prince Qi was thinking.Anyway, no one cared.Especially these master-hands form the palace. They never minded
It was full of twists and turns in the Imperial Palace this night, but anyway, the stability here was restored. Prince Liang and his follower were tied up and brought outside the Imperial Study. Among them was the middle-aged scholar who didn’t pass the provincial civil service examination. Compared with Prince Liang, who was driven to distraction, the middle-aged scholar had no emotion on his face. It looked as if he had expected such a result.The Imperial Army of the four camps calmed down too. Li Fulu, the new chief of the Imperial Household Department, was still on his knees outside the Imperial Study. The young eunuch didn’t feel sorry at all, and he was thinking of his master absentmindedly. When it was over this night, he should meet his master in the other world.The Emperor was standing outside the Imperial Study. Around him, eunuchs and maids were holding red lanterns, so it was as bright as day there.He glanced at Prince Lia
A streak of sword Qi dashed toward Prince Qi.Just as Prince Qi was busy with the sword Qi, Li Fuyao passed another move, which cut open the energy again. Taking this chance, he swept over quickly and in the blink of an eye, he was close to Prince Qi with Green Strand in his hand.The sword Qi around him failed to show restraint and Green Strand kept chirping in his hand.The swordsmen in this world could kill enemies with their swords, and they also could deal with the injustices around with their meter-long swords.It was well known that Chao Qingqiu, the only Sword Immortal in human world, had reached the top of swordsmanship, but he didn’t feel like controlling his sword to kill people. In the few battles that he confronted the sages, he used his sword to fight with his opponents. He never applied the remarkable technique of cutting people’s head off with his sword a thousand miles away. Even so, no one dared to say that
At the end of autumn in the sixth year of Shending, a rain fell down in Shaoliang City of Dazhou.It was the last autumn rain before winter fell, because it was the Winter Solstice tomorrow.It would be winter in entire Dazhou.In previous years, the Imperial Household Department would send moderate winter gifts to the mansions of various officials. In the past years, the officials on the court would widen their eyes to see who got the most gifts, who got the most expensive ones and who got the least expensive ones.According to the rules of previous years, the Mansion of the Prime Minister would be in the first place, and then one of the several reputed old scholars would be in the second place.It was not easy to see the Emperor’s attitude to these officials from trivial matters as this, but these old foxes, who had gone through numerous hardships, were reluctant to give up such a chance.The leas
“The one in my heart please show up in front of me in person!”The autumn rain in Shaoliang City would stop at some moment, but it was unclear whether the people who didn’t return home could make it in the end.People were waiting for them in hometown, if any.Before Ji Nanlong finished her painting in Phoenix Resting Pavilion, there came the news from the border.According the laws of Dazhou, the couriers should not stop in the way the moment they got the most urgent battlefield report from the border. If anyone dared to delay them a moment on any pass, they would be charged by high treason. It could see how Dazhou valued the war, but even so, it almost took seven days to send the report from the border to Shaoliang City.Besides, dozens of couriers of the best horsemanship were selected from the army for this mission, and six horses were exhausted to die on the way. The report finally arrived at the Ministry o
The battlefield report from the border would be known by various people in Shaoliang City soon.Then it was certain that there would be several attitudes toward it at the same time in the city. Generally speaking, people would be happy about it. After all, Dazhou didn’t start the war in the first place and if it had not been for the reason that Beiyan County was not broken, the kingdom would not be at the present status.Even the common people understood that the news would be a turning point, and even if the army at the border did nothing, the kingdom would never be placed in a condition worse than the present.Perhaps not a few people would notice the last words of the report, which was about Xie Ying. They might sigh for the destiny of the general died in the war, and it was unrealistic for them to be too sad to eat or to sleep.Even he was the treasure of the Xie Clan, the one the Xie Clan valued the most in younger gene
Shaoliang City got its own prosperity, but the big shots in high positions always found things to worry about. Different from other people, it was hard for them to put many things into words and they had to grind their teeth to settle.At the crucial moment Xie Chenjun arrived at the capital, all the people there held their breath to see what would happen in the city. The Emperor had told the high-ranking officials at the court yesterday that he would lead all the officials to welcome the old man at the gate of the capital. He valued Xie Chenjun not only because of the latter’s reputation at the court, but also because the peace which Dazhou enjoyed temporarily was earned at the cost of Xie Ying’s life.All of them should be convinced. If they weren’t, they needed to go and kill some emperor and princes like Xie Ying before saying anything.The ones who worried in Shaoliang City mostly didn’t know how to face the old man.Th
