Pen&Fun&Pavilion www.biquge.inforeadx;? Hearing Shangguan Xiu's words, Tang Ling nodded again and again, and said: "Guogong's words are reasonable, and I have made up my mind, today, draft a document to fight against the rebellion, announce it to the world tomorrow, and issue a national conscription order, and soon, our army will send troops to crusade against the rebels and fight to the death with the thieves,"
For the matter of counterattacking the rebels, Shangguan Xiu was resolute, what he said was not unreasonable, plus the emperor made a statement again, and the elders of Shenchi came to ask in person, now if anyone opposes again, that is, offend Shenchi, and offend Tang Ling and Shangguan Xiu, in the end, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat, the ministers looked at each other, and finally Cai Xiao took the lead in kneeling, kowtowed forward, and said loudly: "Your Majesty Shengming,"
Cai Xiao's echo brought everyone present back to their senses, and then people knelt down in a large area and shouted in unison: "My Emperor Shengming,"
The matter of sending troops was decided in this way, and the document of the rebellion was drafted by Cai Xiao, the first minister, himself.
Cai Xiao's literary style is not said to be ranked No. 1 in the country of wind, but it is definitely top-level, not to mention that this article also involves whether he can please Tang Ling and Shangguan Xiu, and whether he can rescue his son, of course he has enough strength to write,
In the text, Cai Xiao counted the crimes and essence of the rebels, not to mention picking up the skin of the rebels, even the bones of the rebels were pulled out by him, and the rebels were scolded to the fullest, and even the eighteenth generation of the rebels' ancestors were also piggybacked.
After reading the draft of the rebellious text, Tang Ling's feeling was just two words: relieve hatred, Shangguan Xiu also nodded secretly, Cai Xiao is indeed good at words, when he speaks, not a drop of water leaks, interlocking, polite and courteous, the benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and belief advocated by the wind people He has all clicked on it, with his talent, it is enough to be the first auxiliary minister, but unfortunately, it is not very good,
Tang Ling made a decision on the spot, and announced it to the world in accordance with the rebellious document drafted by Cai Xiao.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Tang Ling and Shangguan Xiu invited Guan Tong to the imperial garden, and the three of them sat in the pavilion in the garden, drinking tea and talking.
Shangguan Xiu opened his mouth and said: "I have been to Shenchi several times, but unfortunately, I have not been able to meet my predecessors,"
Guan Tong smiled and said: "The old man is used to the days of idle clouds and wild cranes, he has no fixed place, and he has not been in the Shenchi for a long time, if it is not for the difficulty in the Shenchi this time, the old man will not come back,"
When the boy was talking, Tang Ling also looked at him secretly from time to time,
A young man about thirty years old, dignified, handsome and elegant, with a good voice, low and heavy, which makes people feel comfortable, but he keeps calling himself an old man, how to listen to it and feel weird and awkward,
Shangguan Xiu was accustomed to this, the Great Elder of Shenchi and the Venerable of Xuanling Palace, like Guan Tong, had cultivated to the realm of rejuvenation and rejuvenation, and he said slowly: "At the beginning, the younger generation had already commanded the army and besieged Shenchi, and it lasted for two months,"
The implication is that he led the army to besiege Shenchi for two months, and he didn't see Guan Tong running to him and begging for a please, but this time, the rebels only besieged Shenchi for a month, and they led Guan Tong, the elder of Shenlong, out of sight, and did not hesitate to go to Xijing in person to ask for help, which made Shangguan Xiu a little puzzled, could it be that there was a hidden secret that he didn't know,
Guan Tong looked at Shangguan Xiu with a smile and exclaimed: smart, he picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea slowly, and said, "Zhan Miao is dead,"
Shangguan Xiu's eyes flashed, his face showed surprise, Zhan Miao died, this is definitely good news for Shangguan Xiu, but he feels that something is not right, in the battle of Shangjing, Zhan Miao was just injured and fled, could it be that he was seriously injured and died, but it shouldn't be, the injury he suffered at that time should not be fatal, not to mention that Zhan Huan's cultivation is so profound,
He said: "In the battle of Shangjing, I used the ancestor of the Heavenly Machine Technique to defeat Zhan Xuan, but he was wounded and fled at that time,"
Guan Tong said: "Guan Tong did die in Shangjing, and was pierced through the heart by a sword,"
Shangguan Xiu shook his head and said, "That's not what I did......"
Guan Tong answered: "Zhan Xiang's disciple testified that it was Elder Huang who did it,"
"Elder Huang, Great Elder Huang Zun,"
"Exactly,"
Shangguan Xiu frowned, and said: "At that time, Zhan Miao was already injured, and he was not Elder Huang's opponent, and it was not better for Elder Huang to capture him than to kill him,"
Guan Tong said: "According to Elder Huang's confirmation, although he was near Shangjing at that time, he had never entered Shangjing City, nor had he seen Zhan Xiang,"
"Then, it was Zhan Yan's disciple who framed him,"
"Knowing that Zhan Miao was killed by Elder Huang, Huan Dou was furious and had already placed a battle post to Shenchi, "The truth of the matter is now unclear, in short, Zhan Xiang's disciples are determined that it was Zhan Xiang who was killed by Huang Zun, even if Huang Zun doesn't admit it, it is a quibble for Huan Dou, "The battle post has been placed, and the people of Huan Dou and Xuanling Palace may kill Shenchi at any time, and this battle between Shenchi and Xuanling Palace seems to be inevitable,"
In this case, the rebels besieged Shenchi again, making Shenchi difficult both inside and outside, so it was a top priority to repel the rebels at the moment, Shangguan Xiu suddenly realized, he asked curiously: "If Huan Douzhen personally brings people to fight, Shenchi can be sure to defeat him,"
Guan Tong shook his head slowly and said, "I don't know yet,"
"The predecessors can know that Huan Dou was a disciple of Guang Xuanling back then,"
Guan Tong smiled: "I have long had doubts, but after being confirmed by His Royal Highness, the mystery in my heart has finally been solved,"
Regarding Huandou, Shangguan Xiu had told Huang Zun and other great elders in detail that it was normal for them to bring the news back to Shenchi.
He smiled slightly and said: "Since the seniors have arrived in Xijing, let's stay here for a few more days, and in the near future, our army will go to Shenchi with the army,"
Guan Tong waved his hand and said, "No, the old man will leave today,"
Shangguan Xiu blinked and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry as a senior?"
Guan Tong smiled and said, "The big war is coming, how can you not be in a hurry,"
After a pause, he said, "If the battle between Shenchi and Xuanling Palace starts, I don't know how many people in my generation will lose the fruits of their penance for many years, and the lives will be ruined, the old man has to rush to Xuanling Palace to persuade Huandou to make a truce,"
Shangguan Xiu gasped and asked, "Senior wants to go to Xuanling Palace alone,"
Guan Tong smiled: "This catastrophe is fate, whether the old man can survive it or not depends on the creation," Speaking of this, he looked at Shangguan Xiu and Tang Ling with a smile, and said: "It is difficult to find a noble person in life, and it is even more difficult to find a noble person in each other's life, Your Majesty and His Royal Highness should be rare and talented people in front of you,"
After speaking, he drank the little tea left in the cup, then stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the old man will say goodbye,"
Shangguan Xiu hurriedly got up and said hurriedly: "Seniors can't, Xuanling Palace has made a war post, and Shenchi is already hostile, seniors go alone, I'm afraid it will be ......" The two Venerables under the Huandou seat are dead, and they also believe that the deaths of the two Venerables are related to Shenchi, Guan Tong went to Xuanling Palace at this time to persuade Huandou to cease fighting, isn't it self-defeating,
"Whether it is life or death, it is all creation, and the old man does not force it," Guan Tong looked at Shangguan Xiu, and said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness Hongfu, you can be on par with the sky, and your future achievements will be above the old man, farewell,"
While speaking, Guan Tong stepped out, he stepped out, the person had floated out of the pavilion ten feet away, the second step out, the other person had disappeared in the imperial garden,
It's said to be walking, but it's actually floating,
Tang Ling was stunned from the sidelines, he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, Shangguan Xiu wanted to chase him out, but in the end he gave up, what could he do if he caught up with Guan Tong, although he only had a two-sided relationship, although he had only talked a few words, but he could feel it, Guan Tong was different from those hypocrites who were different in heart and sanctimonious, he said that if he wanted to stop the war, he could really do what he said, even if he sacrificed his own life,
Shangguan Xiu looked at the direction in which Guan Tong disappeared, and did not move for a long time,
I don't know how long it took, he felt his palm soften, Tang Ling's softness gently held his hand, he looked down at Tang Ling, the latter said with relief: "Elder Guan is a real master outside the world, Ah Xiu is not more worried about him,"
Because of the relationship between not cultivating Lingwu, in Tang Ling's eyes, Shenchi and Xuanling Palace are very far away from her, and that is also a field that she can't quite understand, and besides, a war between Shenchi and Xuanling Palace is also beneficial to her, at least Xuanling Palace's energy will be restrained by Shenchi, and she will no longer be able to deal with her,
Shangguan Xiu is not worried about the upcoming battle between Shenchi and Xuanling Palace, now he is only worried about Guan Tong's safety, in his mind, he has long regarded Guan Tong as his master,
Tang Ling looked at Shangguan Xiu happily, and as soon as he spoke, he said softly: "Ah Xiu, Elder Guan said that you and I are each other's destined nobles," with this sentence alone, Tang Ling's favor towards Guan Tong skyrocketed,
Shangguan Xiu smiled and took Tang Ling into his arms,
The next day, Tang Ling and Minister of Justice Zhang He, as well as Cai Xiao, Minister of First Auxiliary Minister, Qiu Yi, Minister of Palm of Seals, and Han Ye, Minister of Internal History, went to the Lieutenant's Mansion together to try Cai Huang's case.
The big war is coming, Shangguan Xiu has no time to waste on these trivial things, this morning, the imperial court has issued a national conscription order, he went to Sui Tangjing's new barracks early to see how the conscription situation is,
In the lobby of the Lieutenant's Mansion, Cai Huang, who was wearing a white prison uniform, was brought in by two officials, at this time, Cai Huang looked like he still had a little bit of his usual demeanor, the whole person was emaciated, his eye sockets were deep, and his cheeks were sunken.
Seeing that Yushu's son who was in the wind on weekdays has now become like this, Cai Xiao's heart is like a knife, sitting on the chair, his body is trembling, and old tears almost flow out.
At this time, Cai Xiao suddenly felt remorse, regretting that he shouldn't have fought with Shangguan Xiu, fighting back and forth, if he put his son's life into it, even if he won the fight in the end, what could he do, a hundred years later, who would inherit his mantle, who would support the huge Cai family,
Looking at Cai Huang, who was embarrassed at this time, Tang Ling's mood was not very good, but she didn't show it, she sat on the chair in the center of the hall, and asked quietly: "Cai Huang, are you guilty?"
Cai Huang knelt on the ground and kowtowed forward, Cai Huang, who had already confessed, fully retracted his confession in front of Tang Ling, and did not admit that he had stolen Gu Qingling's military uniform design, nor did he admit that he had sent Cai 13 to assassinate Gu Qingling,
His previous confession was under the coercion of the Lieutenant's Mansion, and he was beaten into a trick, as for Cai Shisan's confession, it was a malicious framing and framing, which is not enough evidence.
When he spoke, he looked at his father from time to time, and under Cai Xiao's slight nod, he understood and knew what to say,
After Cai Huang finished speaking, Hua Ning immediately knelt on the ground and shouted injustice, the Lieutenant's Mansion had never tortured Cai Huang from beginning to end, and where did he come from to say that he was tortured, Hua Ning proposed to ask someone to have a physical examination to see if Cai Huang had any torture injuries on his body,
Before Tang Ling could make a statement, Cai Huang ripped off his prison uniform on the spot, revealing his shirtless upper body, glared at Hua Ning angrily, and asked, "If the Lieutenant's Mansion didn't torture Ben Gongzi, then please ask Lord Hua to explain where the injuries on Ben Gongzi's body came from?"
Everyone looked at it, okay, Cai Huang's chest and back were bloody, it was obviously whipped by the whip, Cai Xiao looked at it, got up, pointed at Hua Ning angrily, and shouted in a deep voice: "Bending into a trick, is this the method of your lieutenant's mansion to try the case," >
Hua Ning didn't know that Cai Huang was injured at all, looking at the dense whip marks on his body, her head also buzzed, the Cai family is really powerful, how many people from the Cai family are hidden in her lieutenant's mansion, and how many people have been bought by the Cai family,
