Chapter 119: Court Debate
Today's dividing line must be watched.,Can't skip it.,It's okay not to watch the update after reading it.,Because it's only a little bit more.,The plot basically hasn't moved forward~~
Here I would like to explain to all readers the recent writing plan and some matters that require everyone's understanding and cooperation.
First of all, the update has been slow recently, not because I'm saving the manuscript, but because there are too many plans to go out in April and May, except for the one before the holiday, I also completed two short trips during the seven-day holiday, and I will go abroad for half a month in late May for business. As a result of frequent business trips, work would be backlogged and I had to work overtime, so much so that I couldn't write for the rest of May.
Therefore, the preparation for the release of the original discussion with the editor has been postponed accordingly (of course, judging from the current dismal collection of this book, it may not really be successfully put on the shelves, even if it is barely put on the shelves, most of them will be on the street ~~~hehe~~~), I am ashamed that I am not the kind of talented author, the writing speed is slow and time-consuming, and it is difficult to continue the idea if the idea is broken, in order not to reduce the quality of this article too much, please allow me to suspend the update until the end of the month and return to China.
But don't worry, I won't be able to play until I leave, no matter how busy I am. I will use this time to fix the bugs and inconsistencies in the previous article (please ask you to help find this), and at the same time overhaul the chapters that I am not satisfied with. What I want to remind you here is that according to the starting point of the program, the modification of the old chapter will also be shown as updated on the shelf, so please be careful, if the chapter that shows the update is 118 chapters ago, then I am repairing the text, don't rush over and find that there is no update and scold me for deceiving people, Sister Hai is stingy, and every time she is scolded, she will be depressed for a long time~~~
Please hold on to all the book friends who have supported me for so long, don't be disappointed in Sister Hai because of this broken May, at least wait until Children's Day and I come back~~~

But Feiliu didn't wait for King Jing in the secret room that day, because Xiao Jingyan was not in the mansion at all. Although the city defense battalion did not know about the bloody battle at the west gate, it was not like a blind man afterwards. Soon, King Jing received a report that the Hanging Mirror Division escorted the felons into Beijing and was attacked at the city gate. However, because the Hanging Mirror Division is directly under the Imperial Front, it is self-contained, and often does not notify the relevant government departments to do their own thing, King Jing did not take this matter to heart at first, but only instructed Ouyang Ji, the commander of the patrol battalion, to pay attention, if the Hanging Mirror Division wants to round up the criminals who escaped after the failure of the robbery, then unless there is a clear order, it is necessary to coordinate the action through the patrol battalion, and must not disturb the people at will, and then King Jing went out to visit the seriously ill and dying imperial uncle King Li. Different from when he was silent and unfavored, Xiao Jingyan's identity is now different from before, and the other clan courtiers who visited King Li's Mansion all came to see him, and after socializing, it was already afternoon. At this time, Ouyang Ji came to report, saying that there was no contact with the Hanging Mirror Division, but he did not conduct a search and arrest in Beijing without authorization, but it seemed that he did not pay attention to the escaped criminal, but instead concentrated most of the government soldiers and blocked the felony who was guarding the new escort into the city.
It was only then that a little doubt rose in King Jing's heart, and after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of anything that the felony might have to do with the recent incident. But he has always had a gap with the Hanging Mirror Division, and he knows that it is not interesting to send someone to ask, plus this year's year-end festival due to the absence of the prince, many rituals have changed, Emperor Liang ordered him to accompany the two princes of King Yu, and he is different from King Yu, he has not entered the high-level of the court for many years, and many of the etiquette in this area are not very familiar, and invited the successor of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Liu Ji to teach him in person in the inner court, and now is the busiest time, so although he was puzzled, he did not go to investigate deeply, and told Ouyang Ji to continue to pursue the news, and then went to the inner court.
After practicing the etiquette for nearly an hour, although King Jing was not tired at all, the old man in his sixties was already out of breath. He is the cousin of Liu Cheng of Zhongshu Ling, born in a family, the court has always been regarded as high, and all the princes have never been treated differently, and King Jing has never deliberately enveloped him, but at this time, he understands the old man's physical decline, so he asked him to sit down and rest under the pretext of asking about the rules and regulations of the previous dynasties.
In fact, King Jing took advantage of it here, that is, he always gave the courtiers the impression that they were resolute and cold, only knew martial affairs, and did not know how to govern culture. But in fact, King Jing was taught by his mother and Concubine Chen in the palace when he was young, and he was personally raised by the emperor's eldest brother King Qi when he was a little older. In the more than ten years after King Qi's rebellion, Xiao Jingyan did have a great disgust for the court, so he was exiled by his father and himself, and he was somewhat deserted. But in any case, he was also a Su Confucian coach, a famous minister as a teacher, a classmate of Lin Shu, and a person with good homework, if he was simply evaluated by martial arts, he would naturally be surprised after deep friendship.
After chatting until the evening, King Jing left the Inner Book Court, and happened to meet Meng Zhi outside the palace, and asked him if he knew who was arrested by the Hanging Mirror Division, Meng Zhi didn't know at all, and the two only talked for two or three sentences, and then they dispersed. After that, King Jing returned directly to his palace. It's a pity that just before he entered the bedroom, Feiliu, who entered the secret room for the third time and knocked on the door but still didn't get a response, just left, and there was only a millimeter between the two, and Mei Changsu, who became ill after nightfall, didn't have the physical strength to send Feiliu to find someone for the fourth time, and the two were not able to meet that night.
In the early morning of the next day, King Jing entered the palace early in the morning to say goodbye. Due to the New Year, the imperial court has been sealed two days ago to exempt the dynasty, the princes every day to greet the emperor is directly into the forbidden Wuying Palace, when King Jing entered, he met the king of honor outside the palace gate for a long time, I don't know whether it is a coincidence or not.
"Jing Yan is here," King Yu greeted King Jing with a smile and held King Jing's hand, looking like a friendly brother, "Seeing that you are full of red face, you must have slept well last night, right?" β
King Jing has always disliked to be false and wronged with him, and Mei Changsu didn't think it was useful to giggle with King Yu on the surface, when the two agreed on the same page, King Jing saw that King Yu's attitude was not rude, but it was inevitable that he would be cold, for example, at this moment, he only bowed slightly, and then slowly withdrew the hand that was held by King Yu.
"Come on, let's go in together, I heard that my father is very happy today." King Yu had long been accustomed to him being so salty and indifferent, so he didn't care, raised his hand, and the two stepped into the Wuying Hall side by side.
At this time, there were three people in the hall, Emperor Liang, Xia Jiang, the head of the Hanging Mirror Division, and Meng Zhi, the commander of the forbidden army, it seemed that they had just finished talking about something, one leaned on the dragon chair and stroked his forehead in contemplation, one slowly stroked his beard and seemed to smile, and the other had no expression, but the skin on his face was obviously very tight. When the two princes came in, Xia Jiang looked at King Yu and nodded slightly, while Meng Zhi frowned at King Jing.
"The son of the emperor greets his father." The brothers bowed together.
"Well, sit down." Emperor Liang rubbed the corners of his forehead and slowly raised his head, looking at the two sons in front of him, they are now dressed in the same way, more and more brothers, and their figures and appearances are not very different, but one is sturdy and silent, and the other is more sleek and clever. The Emperor of Daliang has always favored King Yu for more than ten years, and it is only recently that he has deliberately reduced some favor because he is dissatisfied with his ambition, but Yu Love is still strong, and after King Jing regained the opportunity to attract his attention, he acted more and more in line with his heart, and it was the time when his favorability increased, so looking at these two people at this time, he himself couldn't say which one he liked more. Suddenly, I thought of King Qi, and thought of the eldest son of the emperor who was so good that he couldn't control it, and suddenly felt a pain in my heart, I don't know if it was because of old age, or because Xia Jiang had just evoked the memories that he had deliberately sealed.
"What's wrong with my father?" King Yu stepped forward with concern, "Could it be that you were discussing some troublesome thing just now?" Can the sons share their father's worries? β
Emperor Liang waved his hand: "What's the trouble for the New Year......
"Yes," Xia Jiang saw that Emperor Liang said this, and had no intention of continuing to speak, so he picked up the conversation, "On the auspicious day of the New Year, what trouble can there be?" Something like catching a traitor in an old case is actually a good pick. β
"Rebel?" King Yu showed a startled expression, "What happened recently, why don't I know?" β
Xia Jiang laughed, "Of course Your Highness knows, but it's not a recent case, it's thirteen years ago." β
"Huh? Xia Shouzun was referring to ...... "King Yu glanced at King Jing on the one hand. The latter really raised his head when he heard this, and stared at Xia Jiang with a flaming eye.
"Where were there two cases of reversal thirteen years ago? Naturally, it's Chiyan's case. Xia Jiang said in a relaxed tone, "The Red Flame Army treason and collaboration with the enemy, the crime has been convicted early, but when they gathered and annihilated them in Meiling, it snowed heavily and there was a storm again, and among the seventeen main culprit generals that His Majesty had clearly ordered to arrest, only four were captured alive, eleven corpses were found, and two remained, I don't know whether they escaped or were annihilated." For this reason, the Hanging Mirror Division has not dared to slack off for many years. Fortunately, with the blessing of the emperor's holy virtue, Skynet could not escape, and after thirteen years, he got one of the rebels. β
"Who is it?"
Xia Jiang glanced at King Jing with the tail of his eyes, and said coldly: "Former deputy general of the Chiyu Battalion, Wei Zheng." β
King Jing's hands on his knees couldn't help but clench into fists, and his chest rolled for a while. But he has been suppressed for more than ten years, and he has experienced a lot recently, when he is not the reckless young man he used to be, he gritted his teeth and lowered his eyes to cover the beating fire in his eyes.
"Oh, that's a good thing!" King Yu's deliberately raised tone sounded sharp and harsh, "Congratulations to my father." The rebels who have been absconding for more than ten years can be caught, which can really show the prestige of our court. This Wei Zheng must be publicly punished with a heavy sentence, which is enough to deter the world's disobedience! β
Xia Jiang pretended to ask for a while, and Fang Xu agreed: "His Royal Highness King Yu really reacted quickly, thinking about it carefully, this is indeed the truth." It is useless to educate all the rebellious thieves who have evil hearts, and they must be punished with severe punishments, so that the world can be afraid. The fact that the guard has been in hiding for more than ten years shows that he has no remorse, and the minister thinks that it is more appropriate to cut off the waist to show the public. β
The muscles on King Jing's cheeks jumped, he raised his head suddenly, and was about to speak, but Meng Zhi had already knelt down one step ahead of him, and said, "Your Majesty, it is the New Year's Festival, and it is the period of national mourning, so it is really not appropriate to inflict this torture in public!" β
"Commander Meng's words are wrong." Xia Jiang said lightly, "Rebellion is an unforgivable crime, what does it have to do with national mourning?" Strict to treat the traitor, benevolent to be loyal and good, along with the rejuvenation, against the ruin of the country, this is the way of non-contradiction, do you say right, His Royal Highness King Jing? β
He lightly threw the conversation to King Jing, making it clear that he had to let him speak. And this opening, I am afraid that if it is not a word against my heart, it will be a word against my ears.
Meng Zhi was in a hurry, wanted to stop again, and was afraid that it would be counterproductive if it was too obvious, and when he was helpless, King Jing had already paused, and said clearly and calmly: "The retainers have objections." β
