Chapter 25: Balance
The empress is gone, and Ji Tianyu actually knows in his heart that he can't keep the empress, after all, the empress's strength is much stronger than him.
What's even worse is that the strength of the empress is still the blessing of the king's immortality.
Thinking of this, Ji Tianyu looked at Jun Immortal with some resentment, and wanted to say that women are like clothes, and brothers are like siblings.
"What do you want me to do? Can you keep her? Don't talk to me, I know best how strong you are. ”
Jun Immortal rolled his eyes, as long as I strike first, then others will not be able to throw the pot to me.
Ji Tianyu still wanted to refute, but after hearing this, he was speechless.
Can't you save me some face?
Anyway, I'm also the emperor of a country now.
Ji Tianyu stared at Jun Immortal, and said in a deep voice: "I haven't settled the matter with you about Wuzhou yet." ”
"As long as you are not a fool, you should know why I helped Yanguo conquer Wuzhou. ”
Jun Immortal said: "You are the Emperor of the Dao Dynasty by borrowing my luck, once you raise troops to the south to fight the flames, with the blood feud between your two countries, you will definitely die more than 10 million people, and when the cause and effect fall on me, I will be in trouble." ”
Bai Mo nodded matter-of-fact and explained: "Although this guy has a ridiculously good life and looks a little more handsome than me, if it is stained with big karma, it is still quite tricky, everyone is a brother, don't worry about these things." ”
Bai Mo was a good old man, and came out to play a round with a smile.
But both ignored him and treated him like air.
"In the first battle of Wuzhou, 20,000 people died in Jingguo, and 40,000 prisoners of war were in the hands of Yanguo. Ji Tianyu said indifferently.
"I have already explained the matter of the prisoners of war to Shishanhou, and they will be released in half a month. ”
Jun Immortal squinted his eyes and said: "20,000 people, I will exchange the lives of the two origin second calamities of the Yan Kingdom to cancel each other, and you only lose one city in this battle, which will be regarded as the price of your Dao Emperor." ”
Hearing this, Ji Tianyu's deep eyes flashed with a gleam, and asked, "What about the other one?"
"Within five days. ”
Jun Immortal said with a smile: "After your enthronement ceremony is over, I will leave the continent of Yuanzhou, and you can fight as much as you want." ”
"Do you really want to go?"
"Hmm. ”
"Okay. ”
Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Ji Tianyu said: "Seven days later, it will be my enthronement ceremony, and I hope you can also be there." ”
"Yes, yes. ”
Bai Mo nodded hurriedly, with a smile on his face, and said, "In the past, it took at least half a month to travel to the Wicked Island, and we can just prepare some bags in Jingjing to avoid insufficient supplies on the road." ”
Jun Immortal glanced at Bai Mo, do you want to finish the shot?
He wanted to refuse, but after seeing the sincerity in Ji Tianyu's eyes, he had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay." ”
............
After the empress returned to Yanjing with the three of them, she handed them over to Cheng Yu to deal with.
Hubu Shangshu, Ji Guogong, Yongkang Hou, and the four people who have died in the Criminal Department Shangshu trespassed into the territory of Yasukuni without the authorization of the empress, this matter is not so simple.
Killing a monarch immortal and sending four powerhouses of the second calamity of the origin are all the princes of Shangshu of the Yan Kingdom, and the empress smelled a trace of something unusual from it.
"Find out who is behind them. ”
In the Emperor's Yuan Palace, the empress's voice was cold, and she ordered: "With the courage of the four of them, it is absolutely impossible to break into the territory of Yasukuni to assassinate Jun Immortal, there must be someone behind them to instruct them, I order you to investigate this matter clearly." ”
"Minister, obey. ”
Cheng Yu bowed down, knowing that the empress was really angry this time.
The grievances between the two countries have always existed, and Jun Immortal just helped the empress to conquer Wuzhou, and in the blink of an eye, there was a figure of the prince of Shangshu to assassinate him, which makes the world think of the empress?
Those who have meritorious service to the Yan country will be killed?
What's more, Jun Immortal is still a celebrity with a prominent reputation, if the influence of this matter expands, I am afraid that there will not be many scholars willing to serve the Yanguo court in the future.
Sensing that the empress didn't give any more orders, Cheng Yu bowed and retreated, leaving the Emperor Yuan Palace.
Looking at the night, there was not a single star, Cheng Yu sighed lightly: "The sky is about to change." ”
The two Shangshu of the Criminal Department and the Household Department dare to be tough and tough with Shoufu, and there must be a strong person behind them.
Now because of Jun Immortal, the empress has ordered to find out who is behind the scenes, which may involve very complicated things.
It's tricky.
But for Cheng Yu, he is a knife in the hands of the empress, and the empress will cut whoever he asks.
............
That night, Zou Wei also learned about the assassination of Jun Immortal by the four Shangshu princes, frowned and pondered for a moment, and then dressed and went to Ziyang Academy.
The dean hadn't slept yet, he was playing chess with himself in the gazebo, his heart was like water, and he didn't have the slightest impetuousness in the world.
Zou Wei walked slowly, sat opposite the dean, casually disrupted the chess pieces on the chessboard, and said loudly: "Qi Shangshu is dead." ”
The dean looked up at Zou Wei and said helplessly, "I already know." ”
"Your Majesty ordered Cheng Yu to investigate this matter thoroughly, probably to find out the black hand behind them. ”
Zou Wei's index finger tapped the chessboard, made a clanging sound, and said coldly: "This time it is the four powerhouses of the second calamity of the origin who assassinated Jun Immortal, and in the future, it may be the peak of the origin to do it himself, I need to do something." ”
The dean was also disturbed by Zou Wei's interest in playing chess, and reached out to pick up the scattered chess pieces and put them in the cup.
Zou Wei's face was calm, and he was waiting for the dean's reply.
After a moment, the dean raised his head, saw a touch of resoluteness in Zou Wei's eyes, and said softly: "They are all in Cheng Yu's hands, you can't touch them." ”
"I can't, but you can, Dean. ”
Zou Wei said: "Dean, you have stepped into the peak of the origin, and you have the posture of proving the Emperor of Wendao, if you make a move, they will not survive." ”
"You eat dry rice when Cheng Yu eats?"
The dean shook his head and smiled, and said: "I am the peak of the origin, but Cheng Yu is also the peak of the origin, as the sharpest knife in the hands of the empress, if I kill someone in front of him, he will immediately kill me." ”
He is a Wendao, Cheng Yu is both civil and military, in the same realm, Cheng Yu's strength is a few points stronger than him.
"There are no outsiders here, Dean, you don't have to be sloppy with me. ”
Zou Wei said lightly: "Everything Jun Immortal has done during this time is nothing more than to check and balance, and at the same time to avoid the outbreak of a major war between the two countries, which will lead to the destruction of human beings, he is balancing the strength of the two empires." ”
Shousuke-sama is not stupid.
From the analysis of all the things that Jun Immortal did, the conclusion was that Jun Immortal was preventing a mighty war.
The war could even kill and displace hundreds of millions of people.
Then, Zou Wei said: "Now he is doing something to stop the outbreak of war, and what Qi Tong and they have done is to light the fuse of the war and make the two countries in a state of chaos all year round." ”
Qi Tong is dead, but Tobe Shangshu is still alive.
Ji Guogong and Yongkang Hou are also unclear identities.
The dean's eyes were deep, and instead of speaking, he stood up and walked towards the outside of the academy.
One step, a thousand miles.
............
White Horse Guard.
Cheng Yu was arranging for people to investigate the matter of the Marquis of Shangshu, when he felt a breath approaching, the light flashed in his eyes, and his figure disappeared in place.
"Dean. ”
Cheng Yu saw the person coming clearly, and said calmly: "Please go back." ”
He didn't ask the dean what he was doing here, because in this eventful season, the dean, who had not dealt with Baimawei all the year round, came here with impure motives.
