"How do you explain these, Ji Qing" Yan Kexi's eyes fell on Ji Ruling's body again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Ji Ruling took out the stick wrapped in white cloth again, propped himself up and stood up with difficulty, "Your Majesty, I am here to maintain the dignity of the royal family and protect Your Majesty's face."

"Oh? How can I say that?"

Ji Ruling cleared his throat, untied the white cloth of the stick in his hand, and the dark golden long sword was exposed in front of everyone, and the minister who knew him couldn't help but shout, "Protect the country and the golden sword!" ”

"That's right, it is the golden sword to protect the country, when Emperor Taizu was at the beginning of the founding of the country, he gave my grandfather the golden sword to protect the country, and beat the king, and beat the ministers, although the palace is declining, but it is still the prince, the Yuan family came up and insulted me, I took the golden sword and taught me a lesson, I didn't think that they would kill me, the golden sword to protect the country, if the king came, beating me was equivalent to hitting Your Majesty, then how could I agree, of course, I had to defend the dignity of the royal family to the death, I didn't think that as the eldest prince, I didn't ask the reason, I had to order me, If it weren't for the second prince to bring His Majesty's will and arrive in time, I'm afraid that His Majesty would not be able to see His Majesty. ”

Ji Ruling began to cry heartbroken again, holding the golden sword in his arms, and the ministers around him were all moved by him.

"Huh? Yan'er, is this really the case, the dignity of the royal family is inviolable, Ji Qing is loyal, it's really chilling for you to do this."

"But, Father..."Yan Yan just wanted to explain, but was immediately interrupted again.

"Don't say it, the Vermilion Bird Marquis also loves Sun so he hurts people, and the widow doesn't blame you, I hope that the Hou Ye will discipline Ling Sun harshly in the future, don't have a next time, Ji Qing has a merit in maintaining the dignity of the royal family, and the widow will give you ten thousand taels of gold, and a three-grade healing Qingyu Dan, let's stop this matter" Yan Kexi began to play a round.

"Humph!" Suzaku Hou long-sleeved for a while, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait!" Ji Ruling stopped him, and Yan Kexi, who was just about to leave, and the princes and ministers all stopped.

"Isn't Ji Qing dissatisfied with the widow's decision?" Yan Kexi's face changed a little.

"Your Majesty, although this matter is over today, the minister has other things, I hope Your Majesty is in charge" said, taking out a piece of paper from his body, "Yuan Chenggang sent people at the gate of Yihong Mansion to beat his subordinates, and I almost lost my life, please call the shots"

"Does Ji Qing have a certificate?"

"White Tiger Hou Sun Bai Zhanfei can testify"

"Everyone knows that you are in cahoots, and you want him to frame me?" Yuan Chenggang immediately retorted, he knew that murdering a nobleman was a capital crime.

"Before that, Yuan Chenggang clapped his hands on the next fourteen, ambushed me on the road, and wanted to kill me, this is the royal token as evidence, and the king is the king" said Ji Ruling and presented the token that he had found from the corpse before.

"Everyone was killed by you, and I said that you deliberately killed my family's family and framed me."

"Then there is, Yuan Chenggang colluded with Xishan Feilong Village to rob and kill me outside the misty forest outside the city, this was a few hours ago, the body of the thief is still there, I hope Your Majesty is in charge"

"Your own misbehavior has attracted the attention of the bandits, what do you have to do with me" You said a word to me, and the two of them argued fiercely in the palace.

At this time, Ji Ruling smiled, took out the letter obtained from the space ring of the leader of Feilong Village from his arms and presented it, "Good one has nothing to do with you, this is a letter from the owner of Feilong Village and the Yuan family, please take a look."

Yan Kexi swept it over and looked at Yuan Chenggang, "Nephew, what do you explain?"

Yuan Chenggang's heart suddenly pinched, "Then it must be Ji Ruling who wronged me, and the people in the family who bought me off want to put me to death."

"Oh? If you say that, no matter what I come up with, it's fake, then I'll say one more, may I ask Master Hou, you occupy my fiefdom side by side, the eight cities of Qingzhou, when will it be returned?"

At this time, Suzaku Hou's face changed, but he still pretended to be calm, "Hmph, when will I occupy your fiefdom, Qingzhou has been plagued by bandits all the year round, and Ben Hou sent troops to suppress it, you should thank me!" ”

"Yes, then I dare to ask the Hou Ye again, the eight cities of Qingzhou, the annual tax tribute of more than one million taels of silver, why didn't my palace receive a dime, all of them were sent to the Vermilion Bird Hou Mansion! Could it be that Master Hou helped me eliminate the bandits, and even helped me collect the taxes together?"

The civil and military ministers in the hall began to whisper to each other.

The so-called fief, that is the royal family in order to reward the meritorious nobles rewarded the city and land, everything in the fief by the nobles themselves, can train their own army, the collected taxes are also owned by the nobles, only need to pay a certain amount of money and grain to the imperial city every year.

"Hmph, with your strength, do you think you can pass the inheritance audit, those taxes and silver handed over to you, it's not that you squandered it, instead of wasting it, it should be the old man's reward for helping you manage your income."

"Then don't worry about the Hou Ye, whether I can live is my business, how the money is spent is also my business, even if I sink the money into the sea, it is also the silver of my palace, what do you have to do, besides, the tax silver of more than one million taels a year can supply the expenses of a million army, dare to ask the Hou Ye, now that the country is safe and secure, what are you raising so many soldiers for, do you want to rebel?"

The atmosphere present became even more solemn.

Conspiracy! That is a big crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, the biggest taboo of the royal family, not to mention that Yan Kexi's throne is not legitimate.

"You... Don't talk nonsense! Suzaku Hou put a shelf in his mouth, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

"In that case, then let Your Majesty call the shots, let the Marquis of Suzaku return the city and return the tax silver" Ji Ruling turned the spear to Yan Kexi again, and the eyes of all the princes and ministers also focused on King Yan.

Yan Kexi's face was already blue, "Aiqing, the fief was given by the first king, and it is really unreasonable to be seized by Aiqing, you better return the city."

"Your Majesty, the eighth layer of Qingzhou has been cultivated by Benhou for more than ten years, and the soldiers are strong and strong, and the people are rich, now let me hand it over, let him eat ready-made, and it will be difficult for the ransom ministers to obey their fate" Of course, the Marquis of Suzaku is unwilling to hand it over, and a large part of the money he is now raising the army is from this Qingzhou, if the city is ordered by Ji Ru at this time, he will only be afraid that it will be more difficult to deal with him in the future.

"Suzaku Marquis, what are you talking about!" The hall was instantly quiet, and everyone present looked at King Yan for a while, and looked at the Marquis of Vermilion for a while, the atmosphere was very tense, and no one dared to make a sound, for fear of lighting the fuse and triggering a big war.

"Yes, father, the city changes hands frequently, and the lives of the people are not very good, so let's do it, although there are only six Bingzhou, but the land is about the same as Qingzhou, I think I will give the state to the palace to compensate for the loss of the Ji family" The eldest prince leaned into Yan Kexi's ear and whispered.

Yan Kexi is also very embarrassed now, and the Marquis of Vermilion Bird protested in public that he couldn't get off the stage very much, so he could only borrow the slope to get off the donkey and give Ji Ruling the merger.

Just wanted to leave, Ji Ruling said again, "What about the tax silver?"

Suzaku Hou had an iron face, took out a stack of silver tickets from the space ring and threw it on the main hall, turned around and left, he also knew that he was impulsive just now, his wings were not yet full, and they were not enough to match the Wind and Frost Valley behind Yan Kexi, and he had to endure it for a while.

Ji Ruling picked up the silver tickets on the ground and counted them, a full 10 million taels of silver tickets, "Cheap that old guy!" I spit out 10 million."
