Chapter 717: The Expeditionary Division
The four guards with knives mercilessly detained the fifth Tingyun and Xiao Mengdie.
Although the two of them are full of suspicions, they both know the severity, in this Jinluan Palace, the emperor is a person with supreme authority, as soon as the emperor Chrysostom is opened, it is a holy decree, if someone does not obey the decree, it is a rebellion. After all, the two of them were still teenagers studying in the academy, where had they experienced such a battle, and under the majesty of the royal family, the two of them forgot to resist for a while.
"Your Majesty. ”
Just when the guards with knives were about to escort down the Fifth Tingyun and Xiao Mengdie, a rather old man on the right stood sideways, bowed respectfully to the ground, and said loudly: "The Fifth Tingyun and Xiao Mengdie roared in the court and trespassed into the Golden Palace, such a great crime of rebellion is really unforgivable. But today's events are for a reason, the Yamato envoys and the Miyamoto landlord have repeatedly forced, and the fifth Tingyun and Xiao Mengdie have frustrated the spirit of Prince Yamato with the body of a grass people, and I have grown the majesty of the Yanhua Empire, and this kind of credit must not be awarded. ”
"Oh?" the emperor sat firmly on the dragon chair, his face was not happy or worried, his eyes swept away, and he asked casually, "What do you think?"
Someone on the left came out and said: "Your Majesty, what the general said is very reasonable, today's situation is different, and there should be clear rewards and punishments. The minister thought that the merit could be offset by the demerits......"
"Your Majesty, the fifth Tingyun is holding the Golden Martial God Order, and he is a rare handsome figure in my Yanhua, and the minister thinks that the crime of trespassing on the court can be lightly sentenced. ”
The minister seconded. ”
Not long after, a large number of "seconding" voices sounded in the hall. Among those who stood up to speak for the fifth Tingyun, there were civil officials who had read poetry and books and had a strategic mind, as well as military generals who were well-cultivated and had a tiger's back. They were suffocated all morning before finally venting their grievances.
Above the Golden Palace, only thirty percent of the generals did not stand up and express their position.
The emperor sat upright, waited for a while, and saw that no one had any intention of coming out of the queue, so he coughed and turned to look at Li Zongqing, who was standing at the front on the left hand, although he did not speak, but the meaning of inquiry in his eyes was really obvious. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were silent again, waiting for the prince to speak.
Li Zongqing seemed to have already had a statement, and bowed slightly: "Brother Qiyu, the younger brother thinks that it is harmless for the fifth Tingyun and Xiao Mengdie to offset their merits today. It's just that merit is merit and demerits, and the two always seem to have a little bit of unclear rewards and punishments. According to the humble opinion of the younger brother, it is better to impose a small punishment and set an example, so as to show that our country's law is strict. ”
Without thinking, the emperor nodded and asked, "How to punish him?"
According to the younger brother's opinion, he arranged for the fifth Tingyun and Xiao Mengdie to be a non-trivial errand, and ordered the two of them to complete it within a time limit. If it is done well, then the two of them will be considered to have served the country faithfully and have been exempted from criminal responsibility; if it is not done well, then the new and old accounts will be settled together, and the two of them will have no opinion. In the end, Li Zongqing looked at the fifth Tingyun with a smile, and the strange eyes made the fifth Tingyun frown slightly, and he felt that he seemed to have fallen into Li Zongqing's calculations.
After hearing this, the emperor turned to the fifth Tingyun and asked: "The prince intercedes for you, do you have any objections?"
Fifth, listening to Yun contemplating his eyebrows and thinking carefully, although he felt that the emperor's eyes were as gentle as a candle flame in the middle of winter, he didn't dare to admit it easily: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, dare to ask the prince, what kind of errand is it?"
Without waiting for Li Zongqing to say more, the emperor showed his joy and said with a smile: "You young man is very cautious, no matter what, people who practice martial arts should be like this." Listen, I have ordered the two of you to select all of our country's outstanding cultivators within one month to form a team of Yanhua Expedition cultivators. The number of troops is up to you, and you can decide on matters big and small, and after March, the Yanhua Expeditionary Division will go to the capital of Yuanmeng with the two of you to participate in the Yuandao meeting held every few years. ”
After saying that, the emperor paused for a moment, as if leaving time for the fifth hearing cloud to sort out the information. After half a cup of tea, the emperor spoke again: "Young man, can you do it?"
Fifth, when I heard Yun's thoughts, I suddenly realized that the civil and military officials, the prince Li Zongqing, and the emperor, who were full of golden palaces, had been going around and doing the drama for so long, and they were waiting here. Didn't he just want to use the Golden Martial God Order to send more Imperial cultivators to the Yuan Dao Society? He actually made such a high-sounding appearance, thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
"The emperor is waiting for you to reply. Xiao Mengdie, who had been detained by the guards, gently pushed the fifth Tingyun with her shoulder.
Fifth, when he heard Yun come back to his senses, he knew that he couldn't shirk this matter, but fortunately, there was no longer any obstacle to going abroad with the emperor's words, and his purpose of coming to Shenjing had been achieved. I don't have any worries, I don't think about staying in Shenjing for a month longer, and I can still see the genius cultivators of the entire Yanhua Empire, why not do it?
Having made up his mind, he bowed and bowed: "I'll do my best." ”
"Gao Zhan, the will!" the emperor said in a loud voice.
The early dynasty retreated.
The civil and military officials walked out of the Jinluan Palace, although some people kept pointing at the fifth Tingyun and Xiao Mengdie, obviously talking about them, but none of them came up to greet them. Fifth Tingyun and Xiao Mengdie supported each other and walked out of the Jinluan Palace, at this time, Li Zongqing walked to the side of the two and said, "Follow me." ”
The two of them glanced at each other, and they both wanted to refuse, but now that the two of them were injured and were in the palace, how could they refuse King Qing with a martial artist?
Li Qingping was waiting outside the palace gate, and there were two carriages, brocade and jade silk, luxurious and rich.
Li Zongqing calmly looked at the fifth Tingyun and said, "The will of the Holy Lord will be announced soon, in case the father-in-law of the decree cannot find you, in the next month, this king will arrange a wing room in the palace for the two of you to live." Regarding the matter of selecting talents by order, you two should be very conscientious, after all, the selected cultivators will be your friends of life and death at the Yuan Dao Society. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zongqing got into the current carriage, and Li Qingping stuck out her tongue at the fifth Tingyun and also got into it.
"The palace is delicious and delicious, what is the matter. ”
Xiao Mengdie was free and easy by nature, and when she saw that the fifth Tingyun had a sad face, she knew that Li Zongqing's "house arrest" made the fifth Tingyun feel guilty. He laughed, got into the second carriage with the fifth Tingyun, picked up the long whip with the handlebar, and the whirring sounded, and the carriage went south out of the palace and galloped straight to the palace.
Fifth, as soon as Tingyun and Xiao Mengdie settled in the palace, the holy decree was sent at a gallop.
The father-in-law who passed the decree was kind and kind, and his attitude towards the fifth Tingyun was particularly good. Fifth, listening to Yun Ting's royal wording was too complicated and obscure, what Fengtian carried it, what the emperor's edict said, he didn't care at all, after listening to the will, he only remembered a standard put forward by the emperor for this expeditionary division: only those who are under the age of twenty-two and cultivate above the Jiedan realm are eligible to sign up.
After announcing the decree, the father-in-law of the decree pulled the fifth Tingyun again, and said in a sharp voice: "Fifth lord, Your Majesty asked me to verbally convey to you that the expeditionary division is no different from raising soldiers, and it is more important than being fine. As he spoke, his hands stretched out and his left thumb clasped: "Your Majesty suggests that this team should not exceed nine people at most." ”
Suddenly hearing such a nondescript title as "the fifth adult", the fifth Tingyun couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and when he heard the words of his father-in-law, he was even more puzzled by the holy will.
