CHAPTER IX
Just when the atmosphere in the lobby was solemn and tense, suddenly there was a volley, tearing the atmosphere of solemnity.
"The emperor has arrivedβ"
Between Tang Yu dressed in brocade robes, he strode into the inner room, and at first glance he saw Lu Wei and others who were confronting Tang Yin, Tang Yu didn't know why, but he still frowned.
"The ministers knock on the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." The ministers of the interior bowed down, but Tang Yin stood out from the crowd, still half-sitting and half-leaning on the chair.
Tang Yu ignored the minister who was kneeling on the ground, but said to Tang Yin, "Yu'er, see your father." β
Tang Yu's voice was not loud, but it was heard in Lu Weiyu's ears, but it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day. Their faces turned pale instantly. Seeing this, Di Yuan on the side smiled helplessly.
"Everybody get up." Tang Yin sighed slightly, it's okay now, it's just time for Tang Yu to understand.
"Huh? Isn't this Lord Yu" Tang Yu seemed to have just seen him, and there was a little sneer between his eyebrows.
"And Di Yuan, Lu Wei?" Seeing them, Tang Yu frowned. "What are you doing here?"
Shangguan Yuan shouted in a loud voice, "Naturally, they came to arrest us for forming a party for personal gain, doesn't the emperor know?" This voice frightened Lu Wei, who was standing next to him, and fell to his knees at the moment.
"Your Majesty, Emperor Taishang, spare your life! The subordinates are guilty and offended the emperor. The subordinates really don't know...... This, this is all deceived by traitors. Lu Wei almost cried, he was greedy for merit, and he wanted to arrest the emperor, which is a big sin for the nine clans.
"Oh? Adulterer? Who are the adulterers of whom you speak? Tang Yu smiled when he heard this, and he sneered.
"Yes...... It was Lord Yu who told me that there was ...... There is a ......" Lu Wei's gaze was opposite to Yu Ji, his face was blushing for a while, and he was speechless.
Lu Wei was found by Yu Ji, yes, Yu Ji was not stupid enough to arrest the 'traitor' alone. So he found Lu Wei, who was also a Ning person with him and had a very close personal relationship. Lu Wei was originally a guest of Tang Yu, because he was a cronie, Tang Yu has been on the rise since he ascended the throne, and not long ago because of Cheng Jin's resignation, he was promoted to a dark arrow leader. However, his qualifications are still shallow, and Lingwu is not the strongest, and many people in the dark arrow are only yang and yin against him. This time, when he heard Yu Ji tell him the news, he was so happy that he slapped his thigh, and said that his opportunity to make meritorious service had come, and the two hit it off. So today's incident is to blame Ji for greed, and it is not too much to say that it is Lu Wei's fault.
Although Lu Wei didn't finish speaking, Tang Yu already understood what he meant. Tang Yu sneered, "Lord Yu, what Lu Wei said is the truth? β
"Your Majesty" Di Yuan saw that it was not good to have a big event, so he hurriedly stood up, "This incident is a misunderstanding, only because Lord Yu does not know the identity of the emperor, although the words are a little inappropriate, but the original intention is also for the sake of the community, and please Your Majesty to be clear." β
Tang Yu glanced at the double knives packaged in the purple gold box on the table, looked up and laughed, "Yes, it's just that they don't want Di Xiang to be so smart, not only did they know the identity of their father, but they also sent a heavy gift." β
Di Yuan shuddered when he heard this, his own behavior has always been taboo for the king, even if it is his own father, it will make Tang Yu very unhappy.
Yu Ji was speechless at this time, and he never dreamed that Lu Wei, who he had befriended, would betray himself, while Di Yuan, who was always contradictory to him, was speaking for himself at this time. He blinked, just stunned.
Tang Yu didn't hold on to Di Yuan, he sneered and turned to Yu Ji, "Lord Yu, are you guilty?" "The voice is low, but the words are like knives.
"Minister...... Conviction of sin. Yu Ji knelt on the ground with a plop, and the old tears were rampant.
"Someone!" Tang Yu waved his hand impatiently, "Drag Yu Ji down and cut it off." Immediately, the guards stepped forward and dragged Yu Ji out.
"Slow!" Tang Yin, who had been sitting there watching the excitement, sighed, "Today is a day of great joy, do you have to make it bloody." β
Tang Yin is not a fool, on the contrary, he is much more shrewd than many people present. He had already seen that today's episode was not a misunderstanding at all, but a game set up by Tang Yu.
There are clear laws and regulations in the country, and ministers are encouraged to speak out. Yu Ji is a big obstacle for Tang Yu to advocate attacking Besa, and on the bright side, Tang Yu naturally can't kill Yu Ji, and he can't even demote him. So he followed the opportunity of Tang Yin's banquet to invite the old minister, and found someone to hint that Yu Ji was trying to rebel. In this way, Yu Ji can be justifiably eliminated.
"Yes, Yu'er obeys her father's orders." Tang Yu bowed obediently and raised his head slightly at the guard, and the guard put down Yu Ji.
"Since my father spoke, then spare you from death, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime is unforgivable." Tang Yu said in a deep voice, "The second-grade civil official Yu Ji, trespassing on the forbidden land, slandering his father, and bewitching the eunuchs, his crime should be punished." Remembering that he had made meritorious contributions to the community, the death penalty was commuted. Go to its official title and be demoted to a commoner. Tang Yu glanced down at Lu Wei, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said, "Lu Wei mobilized the dark arrow without authorization and fined him for half a year." β
At this time, anyone could hear Tang Yu's injustice, but no one dared to say it. Lu Wei and Yu Ji both kowtowed and sang, "Weichen thank Your Majesty for not killing you." β
Tang Yin smiled and watched Tang Yu finish the play, and said slowly, "Yu'er, you suddenly came to our banquet, shouldn't you just punish the two of them?" β
Tang Yu bowed his hand to Tang Yin slightly and said, "Father is wise, I originally had something important to report, but unexpectedly, I saw these two people disturbing my father's eating and drinking, so I punished them by the way, and asked my father to forgive Yu'er for being reckless." β
"Oh? What's the matter? Tang Yin frowned, since he had already left the throne, he naturally didn't want to meddle in political affairs, so what else was so important to him that Tang Yu wanted to report it in person? Could it be that something happened to the feminine? Thinking of this, Tang Yin became a little uneasy.
"This ......" Tang Yu stood at the bottom of the stairs, hesitating.
"Come and speak." Tang Yin waved his hand impatiently.
Tang Yu hurriedly ran to Tang Yin's side, leaned down and whispered in the latter's ear, "Father, Elder Ah San has come to report that the ice in the forbidden land is beginning to break and melt. β
"Forbidden land? You mean Kamichi? Tang Yin's brows furrowed even deeper, and he remembered the Yan Lie in his body, the woman he had been thinking about.
Tang Yu straightened up and nodded. He was delighted. In fact, this news had been delivered by Ah San a few days ago, and Tang Yu didn't take it to heart. Now in order to remove Yu Ji, he must have a reason to go to the house, of course, it can't be said that he just came to see. So he remembered that after Tang Yin captured the Divine Pool, almost many systems had changed, but the forbidden land was still a forbidden land, and Tang Yu speculated that there must be a mystery in it, so it became an excuse for him to come. Sure enough, Tang Yin was very interested in this, even worried.
Tang Yin couldn't help but stand up, he and Yan Lie had become one, and what the latter cared about was what Tang Yin cared about. "Looks like I'm going to have to travel again." The voice vibrated slightly, as if to convince himself.
Hearing Tang Yin's words, Shangguan Yuanrang almost jumped up and said, "If the king wants to go out of Beijing to relax, he must take me with him!" Although Jiang Fan on the side didn't speak, his eyes also flashed with essence.
Seeing this, Tang Yin shook his head and smiled. Due to the high level of Lingwu, the two of them are only in their thirties, and it seems that their minds also show signs of rejuvenation.
Although with Tang Yin's spiritual martial arts, he was far from having any guards, Tang Yin still said with a smile, "Naturally, you have to bring Yuan Rang and Jiang Fan to protect me." β
Yuan Rang was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth when he heard it, and Jiang Fan was also very happy. Seeing this, many civil managers also echoed and wanted to go together, and Tang Yin also knew that they were just casually talking, but they just refused with a smile.
"Father," Tang Yu on the side suddenly spoke, "Yu'er thinks that there should be a shrewd young man next to my father, and it would be good to go and serve together." β
"I'm not an old man who is dying, I want someone to serve." Tang Yin was joking and casually refused.
Tang Yu was indeed serious, and arched his hand and said, "Father, my son thinks that Di Yuan is shrewd and good at speculating on people's hearts, if he is accompanied by me, I am more at ease." β
Tang Yin suddenly raised his head, his eyes were shining, and then he looked up and laughed wildly. Just when Tang Yu was at a loss, Tang Yin suddenly stopped abruptly and turned to look at Di Yuan, "What does Master Di think?" β
"Being able to travel with the king is a blessing from the three lives of Weichen." Di Yuan's face oozed sweat, but he still pretended to be happy, "It's just that Weichen is in an important position, I'm afraid that he will leave for many days, it's not appropriate, and I invite the emperor to think about it."
Tang Yu smiled, "Master Di, don't worry, when you are not there, Xie Wenxi, the first-class adviser, can temporarily replace you, you just have to serve the emperor." β
"Since Yu'er, you have already arranged it, I, it is better to be respectful than to obey my fate." Tang Yin looked at Tang Yu with a deep smile, but his tone was cold and trembling.
"This ......" Di Yuan's face turned pale, once this is 'temporarily replaced', I am afraid that he will not be able to come back. I thought that there would be any benefit to giving Tang Yin a gift this time, but I didn't expect to get the benefits, but I lost my official position, which really cost my wife and soldiers.
At this point, the three major obstacles that hindered Tang Yu's attack on Besa had been eliminated by him in various ways, and when the war with Besa began, it was soon put on the agenda, of course, this is a later story.
