Chapter 20: The Fighting Beast (4)

Shen Jiayue, the secretary of the ministry, said to him: "The competition is the competition, you have to make it like this, you have to lose both sides like this, and it will be a mess! I look at this game, there is no winner!"

Tang Yunqi, the squire of the military department, was confused and said: "Yun Tianjia openly robbed other people's soul beasts to advance to the rank, with improper intentions, skillful and reckless, lawless! This kind of person should not participate!"

Shen Jiayue said: "That's right! This game can't be counted!"

Lu Jia said expressionlessly: "This competition was proposed by Prince Xuan, and the rules were also set by Prince Xuan, if Prince Xuan decided that this game would not count, I would have nothing to say." But you, Lord Shen and Master Tang, want to empty their mouths and white teeth to reverse right and wrong, but I can't help it. Everyone has a scale in their hearts, and I, as the referee, can only speak according to the facts. ”

He Xiaoduo suddenly said: "The matter of the martial arts competition is supposed to be fun. The difference between victory and defeat is not so important. ”

Shen Jiayue said coldly and quietly: "Pretend to be a good person!"

Tang Yunqi sang and said: "When people get cheap, they naturally want to sell something well." ”

When He Xiaoduo heard this, a wave of anger suddenly rose in her heart, she raised her eyebrows, and finally couldn't help but say nothing.

King Xuan was squeezed by Lu Jia and He Xiaoduo, no matter how cheeky he was, he couldn't say that this game didn't count, so he snorted heavily to show his dissatisfaction.

He Xiaoduo saw He Congcong's sad and sad appearance in a blink of an eye, walked a few steps, and said gently: "Cousin, Yun Tianjia accidentally killed your Golden Horn Prisoner Niu, and I am also very upset." But on the martial arts field, some things are really unavoidable, I hope my cousin can understand and let go of the mustard in my heart. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely compensate you for the same soul beast. ”

He Congcong said hatefully: "If you pay me ten or a hundred more Golden Horn Prison Cows, the original one won't survive!"

He Xiaoduo choked and retreated to the camp in a daze.

Lu Jialang said: "Colleagues, now I announce that in this fifth game of the beast fight, Yun Tianjia won! Today's five-game competition, the princess won one and two wins, and the princess won two and two losses, and the princess won by one game!"

There were hundreds of officials on the scene, some applauded, some applauded, some sighed silently, some shook their heads and were dissatisfied, some cursed and vented their anger, and so on.

Lu Jia said: "Okay! Today, we have watched the show, the wine has been drunk, the martial arts have been compared, and the people who should celebrate have been celebrated, if there is nothing else, then disperse!"

The noisy day has finally passed.

This day is a ceremony, a celebration, and a martial arts competition, and it is enough to toss people. Some of the officials were anxious, so they began to say goodbye to each other and prepare to go home, when a shrill voice suddenly said at the gate of the courtyard: "The emperor has arrived!"

The officials frowned, hula la, and knelt down.

According to the etiquette of the DPRK and China, when the emperor is seen by the first rank and the first rank, he can not kneel, and for the rest, the military attachΓ© pays attention to kneeling on one knee and holding his fist, while the civil official kneels on both knees and bows his head.

At the scene, only Xuanwang He Zhanxi, Princess He Xiaoduo, and Uncle Ji Dali were qualified not to kneel to the emperor, and even the six Shangshu had to kneel.

However, Yun Tianjia was still in the critical period of promotion, so naturally he couldn't take care of such a thing as the emperor.

He Qianliu walked into the courtyard with a few attendant guards behind him, looked around, his eyes lingered slightly on He Xiaoduo, He Zhanxi, He Congcong, and swept away Long Yuandong, He Dali, Xiong Zhuangzhuang and others, and finally stopped at Yun Tianjia, who was sitting cross-legged.

"No courtesy, flat body!" He Qianliu paused slightly, didn't bother Yun Tianjia, waved his big hand, called the hundred officials up, and said quickly: "I didn't want to come over today, but you Ding Lingdang made such a big move, and I couldn't sit still." Fourth brother, you are so old, why haven't you grown at all?

He Zhanxi said embarrassedly: "Brother Huang...... This one...... The younger brother was just joking with the princess. β€œ

"Kidding?" He Qianliu smiled disapprerovingly and said, "Okay, let's put this matter aside for now." What about Ryoto Kanaya?"

"What Jingu Liang?" He Zhanxi's brain buzzed, and he instinctively pretended to be stupid.

He Qianliu was stunned, not angry, and shouted: "What are you pretending to be stupid!

Xuanwang He Zhanxi was helpless, and turned around to find Gu Jin, only to see a black and oppressive head, but he couldn't find anyone else for a while.

One of the guards whispered, "Gujinta...... He slipped away!"

"What!" Xuanwang He Zhanxi was taken aback, raised his foot and kicked down the guard, scolding: "Waste! What are so many of you doing to eat, you can't even look at a single person! When did you slip away?!"

The guard cautiously said, "No...... I didn't see it clearly!"

He Zhanxi shouted: "I don't know if you ask three questions, what's the use of Lao Tzu keeping you?!" raised his hand and slashed at the top of the guard's head.

"Enough!" He Qianliu's eyes were like spitting fire, and he said sharply: "Fourth, the damn person is you!"

He Zhanxi was shocked, put away his palms, sweated like pulp, and stammered: "Brother Huang, I'm ...... I ......"

He Qianliu snorted and said coldly: "You should know how important Jin Gu Liang is to me! You were deceived by him and took him in under the tent, although you were negligent, but you finally let me find his traces, so I won't blame you." But now that his identity has been exposed, you still don't know how to be vigilant, it's just stupid!"

He Zhanxi knelt on his knees, gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Huang, this time it was indeed my carelessness." I didn't expect Jin Gu Liang to be so cunning and cunning, and he actually took advantage of the chaos to slip away. I swear that even if he escapes to the ends of the earth, I will catch him!"

He Qianliu closed his eyes, turned around, took a deep breath, the past flashed back in his mind like electricity, sighed for a long time, and said, "That's it! Get up!"

He Zhanxi got up in fear, and said emphatically: "Brother Huang, believe me, I will definitely capture that thief of Jin Gu Liang alive for you!"

He Qianliu was noncommittal, beckoned, and said, "Xiao Duo, come here." ”

He Xiaoduo walked a few steps as she said.

He Qianliu stared at He Xiaoduo for a few moments, his mood was a little calmer, and he said loudly: "There are a few words, everyone listen carefully, and also testify together." ”

Lu Jia, Shen Jiayue, Tang Yunqi, Ji Dali and other officials hurriedly moved closer to He Qianliu and listened with prickly ears, for fear of missing a sentence.

"In recent years, many people have mentioned to me the matter of canonizing the prince, but I have not relented or expressed my position. I know everyone has an opinion. Now that the rebels are rampant and the state affairs are declining, it is time to find someone to come out, take the lead for me, and take care of it. ”

He Qianliu said loudly: "In my opinion, there are hundreds of descendants of my He family, only the princess and King Xuan, regardless of age, natural appearance, and blood kinship, are the prince's temporary choice." But there can only be one prince, and you can only choose one of the two. ”

"King Xuan is still a princess, who to choose, I don't count. Otherwise, if I directly appoint the prince, you will definitely say that I am biased, and you will not be convinced, turn your head, and fight to the death.

Therefore, we, the future prince, must speak with strength. I decided to give a two-year deadline, so that the princess and King Xuan would take their subordinates to suppress the bandits, and after two years, whoever has great achievements in battle and killed more enemies will be the future prince!

The specific method will be made clear today. King Xuan has guarded the north for many years, and his foundation is in the north, so for the sake of fairness, he will go to suppress the bandits in the south; Soldiers on the battlefield, peaceful bandits, who is strong and who is weak, it is clear at a glance. Two years later, let's talk about the question of who will be the prince, I believe there will be no need to be so entangled!

The princess supervises the east, King Xuan inspects the south, and the corresponding government army, border guards, and garrisons are all at his disposal, and must not be violated. The six central departments, all confidential hubs, and the yamen of the state capital should fully cooperate! Those who disrespect orders will be allowed to cut first and then play!

He Qianliu finished speaking the thoughts in his heart in one breath, paused, and said categorically: "Today's covenant is related to the fortune of the country, you must work hard, don't make mistakes!"

As soon as the words fell, Lu Jia, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, praised loudly: "My emperor Shengming! This covenant is concise and to the point, and it is very easy to operate!

Shen Jiayue echoed casually: "Yes, right! The emperor's words are to the point, and thousands of clues have been solved, and a mess will be divided from now on! State affairs and family affairs will suddenly become clear!"

Then the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Crime, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, the Hundred Officials, the Honors, and the Shi Clan expressed their support for He Qianliu's resolution.

He Qianliu looked around, but felt that everyone was trembling, sincere and afraid, and for a while he was a little excited, and casually explained a few ambiguous details with the ministers, and then turned to leave.

Although He Qianliu's appearance was short-lived, it released a clear signal, which is undoubtedly an extremely important political event at a time when international threats are becoming increasingly obvious, domestic contradictions are becoming increasingly prominent, no one is in charge of major affairs in the court, and conflicts of interests are going their own way.

Perhaps this day will be the starting point for the revival of the Tuhao Empire.

The most irritated, of course, are the officials who are swaying from side to side and at a loss.

They finally don't have to, and can't live by, in a mess. Because from today onwards, they must understand the direction of future efforts, otherwise, they will be eliminated by the torrent of the times.

He Qianliu's few words determined the "covenant of the reserve", which involved a wide range of content, and everyone could not digest it all in a short time.

Because He Zhanxi was anxious to track down Jin Guliang's whereabouts, he hurriedly explained a few words about the scene, and then led the crowd away.

Originally, at the beginning, He Xiaoduo competed with King Xuan, and there was still the idea of asking him to save Yun Tianjia's life if he won the game, but now Yun Tianjia has dissolved the Golden Silkworm Gu poison and recovered and woke up, and it seems that there are no sequelae left, He Xiaoduo is better than less, and he will not mention this stubble to He Zhanxi.

On He Xiaoduo's side, he waited until Yun Tianjia was successfully promoted before leaving the Changyin Pavilion compound. However, as a party to the covenant of the reserve, she can't rest now.

She and her generals must immediately make a detailed summary of what has happened today and what may have an impact, so as to determine the strategy for future action.
