The afterglow of the setting sun shone in through the window, and the study was lit with contemplative incense pills, and light smoke curled up.

Emperor Wu's majestic figure like a mountain and a mountain, sitting behind the purple halo dragon sandalwood case, holding the notebook in his hand, checking the content on it, with a serious expression.

On the low seat in the row to his left, it was originally the position of a civil official, and the first three seats sat several elders of the clan, Liu Jue and others.

The first one is an old man who has never shown up before, his face is full of wrinkles, his eyebrows are slender, and he looks like he is about to be eighty or ninety years old.

Yushi Zhang Tang, Prime Minister Li Cai, and several ministers were getting up and walking out.

Several people and Huo Qu staggered by, with different expressions.

"The minister has seen Your Majesty!"

Huo Qu bowed down and said bluntly: "The minister came back to ask for sin!" ”

"What have you committed?"

The emperor put down the notebook in his hand and looked at Huo Quai.

"The minister killed King Changshan!" Huo Quzhi admitted it bluntly.

Zhang Tang, who had just walked out of the study, Li Cai and the others all changed color.

"Bang!"

In the column of the clan, Liu Shen, the old man who was the leader, waved his hand and hit the low seat in front of him: "The champion king is so responsible, he killed the prince of the dynasty, the young son of the first emperor, and dared to admit it in front of His Majesty."

I ask you, what is the sin? ”

If you kill your relatives, you will be killed if you confess it.

A few people in the clan didn't expect Huo Qubing to dare to admit it in person, and he didn't even argue and explain!

"Your Majesty, since the Champion King admits that he killed King Changshan, please punish him for his crimes."

"Killing a common man is a capital crime, let alone being a prince."

Liu Shen took the lead and knelt on the ground: "I watched King Changshan grow up since he was a child, he was favored by the emperor at a young age, and I didn't expect to suffer such a catastrophe today and be beaten to death!" ”

"Your Majesty, Huo Quai's illness does not know awe, and he ignores His Majesty's kindness, and must not be tolerated."

"Relatives and subordinates dare to kill their clan relatives, which is a great rebellion, which is like rebellion."

"If everyone knows it today, everyone looks at it, if it is not severely punished, where is the imperial power, where is the law?

If you don't kill them to set an example, everyone will follow suit, the world will be turbulent, and our Han foundation will be unstable. ”

Several other clan relatives also knelt on the ground together, and Liu Jue and others spoke one after another, looking indignant.

If the murderer of the clan is not severely punished, all the clan relatives will suffer a great impact.

Even though the emperor may not kill Huo Quai, they must show their attitude, so as to exert pressure and strive for the greatest punishment for Huo Quai.

"If Your Majesty doesn't punish the champion king severely, the old man will die in front of His Majesty's dragon case." Liu Shen said.

"Get out!" The emperor said in a deep voice.

Liu Jue turned back to Huo Quzhi and said, "Your Majesty told you to get out and wait for the fate." ”

Several members of the clan were secretly worried, and the matter was clearly understood, and the champion king himself admitted that His Majesty would let him get out without asking, and it was obviously decided that he would be severely punished.

"I'll tell you guys to get out."

The emperor stared at the sect.

The people of the clan were stunned.

Seeing the murderous aura on the emperor's face, under the anger, Liu Shen, who was the leader, acted quickly, and was the first to get up and walk out quickly on crutches.

The rest of the clan also went out.

Only the emperor and Huo Qubing were left in the study, and Dong Xu didn't know where to go, and there was no trace.

The emperor looked at Huo Quai: "You have great military achievements, your wings are stiff, and my relatives will kill you when they say so." ”

"I don't dare."

Huo Quzhi said solemnly: "King Changshan insulted the wife of my subordinate generals, as a general, if he can't even support his subordinates, what kind of general should he be?"

They didn't die on the battlefield, they came back and were humiliated and died, if the minister didn't support him, he couldn't get over it, and he felt that he was not worthy of the love of their robes and spilling blood on the battlefield with me! ”

He also said: "The mistakes made by King Changshan, killing ten times is not too much, beheading King Changshan, the minister does not regret it." ”

"You bastard, presumptuous!"

The emperor was furious, grabbed the mountains and rivers on the low case, and smashed it head-on.

Huo Quzhi let the inkstone smash on his forehead, fell to the ground, and shattered in half.

He glanced at the inkstone, this inkstone can buy a suite in Chang'an, and it's a pity that it is broken.

After all, it was to kill the emperor's younger brother, so smash it.

"You killed my brother to protect your people, so what should I do?"

"You killed the heirs of the first emperor, where did you put me, and what did you think of me?" The Emperor shouted angrily.

"The minister walked in the palace since he was a child and grew up. Your Majesty is gracious, and the minister has not forgotten for a moment. ”

Huo Quzhi leaned over and knelt on the ground, kowtowed: "Your Majesty is a king, but in the hearts of the ministers, he regards His Majesty as a father." ”

The emperor was stunned, you have to say that...... To put it this way...... His face slowed slightly, and he took a breath and said, "Then you are also a disobedient son." ”

"You killed King Changshan, you said it yourself, what should I do with you?"

The emperor said: "Do you think I don't know what King Changshan did in the past? I have repeatedly asked him to come to the study to watch the soldiers of our Han army serve in front of the battle, sacrificing their lives and forgetting their lives to fight, what do you think is the purpose?

He has made mistakes many times, and I can tolerate him, what do you say? ”

"Because of the emperor's entrustment, His Majesty personally promised the emperor to take care of the youngest brothers and sisters."

Huo Quzhi glanced at the emperor and said, "If Your Majesty punishes me severely, Qing'er will be widowed." ”

The emperor originally had a straight face, his face was as heavy as ice, Huo Qubing suddenly came to such a sentence, changed his direction and softened, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, and his anger was reduced by one point:

"Now I know I'm afraid, I don't see you having so many scruples when I kill people." Swept his eyes Huo Quzhi was hit by an inkstone, and the blood on his forehead.

The inkstone thrown by the emperor, Huo Quai's body was retracted, so his forehead was smashed by the inkstone.

The emperor said, "Do you know why I am angry? ”

"I know, Your Majesty thinks that I don't need to use my brains, even if I have murderous intentions against King Changshan, I shouldn't do it myself, I can use other methods. Such impulsiveness is a fool, and will push His Majesty into a dilemma. Huo Qu said sickly.

"Nonsense, I've never thought of it like this, can I still instigate you to kill my younger brother?" The Emperor flatly denied it.

Huo Quzhi said to himself: "The minister thinks that if he kills King Changshan with a trick, it will be a great disrespect to His Majesty."

The minister didn't want to deceive His Majesty with a trick, so he killed King Changshan and killed him. ”

"You are still reasonable, I still have to thank you for killing King Changshan openly?" The Emperor scolded.

Huo Qu was sick and killed the king of Changshan.

Half of Liu Che's anger was because Huo Qu was reckless and inconsiderate.

The other half is the so-called dog beating depends on the owner, killing his younger brother, which is disrespectful.

This has to be replaced by another person, and Emperor Wu will punish his nine clans.

But Huo Qu's explanation is not wrong.

He accepted it calmly, and it was a big responsibility to be upright, much better than making small moves behind the emperor's back.

"The minister killed King Changshan, in fact, I consulted Your Majesty, and Your Majesty agreed to my hand before I moved." Huo went to the sick road.

The emperor was furious again, and said: "Shut up, I'm angry, how can I let you kill the heirs of the first emperor, you bastard!" ”

"The minister came back from the border pass, Your Majesty knows, the evil deeds committed by King Changshan, Qing'er found out, and left Chang'an at night to rush to King Changshan's mansion, how could Your Majesty not know?"

Huo Quzhi has a heart: "Before the minister killed King Changshan, he urged the soldiers, and the movement was not small.

At that time, His Majesty did not stop him, and the minister killed him. ”

The emperor was angry: "Bastard, clever and eloquent."

Listen to you, or did I instruct you to commit murder? Drag me into the water, and you will be free from punishment? ”

Huo Qu was silent when he was sick.

Historically, King Changshan died six years later, and he was also killed in his thirties.

The reason is because Emperor Wu wants to centralize power, King Changshan can't understand his eyes and don't say anything, he is still doing evil things in the country, and the sky is angry and resentful, and he is dealt with by the emperor.

When you are the emperor, you really look at King Changshan?

Huo Qu's illness and killing King Changshan was of course because of his continuous evil deeds that provoked him.

But he was also determined to be able to afford the consequences of killing King Changshan, and secretly fit the emperor's wishes.

If he can't afford the consequences of killing King Changshan, he is a reckless man who is carried away by anger, and he will not take it because of a small loss.

The emperor didn't like King Changshan, but because he promised the first emperor, he hid it.

caught up with Huo Quai's illness and dared to commit murder, although the emperor would not secretly push his hand.

But anyway, Huo Qu was sick and killed, and he had the ability to stop it, but he didn't.

The emperor himself killed many clan relatives who secretly crowed chickens and dogs, and he couldn't count them.

It's just that if someone else kills a clansman, it is a big crime of disrespect to the imperial power.

The emperor said: "It is a great disapproval for you to kill the king of Changshan, and I will not spare it lightly this time." ”

Huo Quzhi said: "The minister is willing to be punished." ”

"With immediate effect, I will remove you from your position as a lieutenant commander and take back your fiefdom.

The title of champion king, the position of Da Sima is temporarily retained to observe the after-effects. ”

The emperor said: "I still want to take back your military power, you go home and be grounded for three months, and you are not allowed to leave the house." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing."

Huo Quzhi pondered for a moment.

At present, the battle situation on the Western Front is quite stable, and the Romans have not cleaned their crotch yet, and it is not a problem for the Han army to hold on to its advantages at this stage.

The rest is controlled by my uncle, so there will be no problem.

The emperor glanced at the broken inkstone on the ground: "This is my favorite piece of Guanlong inkstone, let you smash it."

You take this inkstone back, and look at this inkstone in the future, it is also a warning, and you know that you should consider the consequences when you act. ”

Huo Quzhi bowed his head and agreed, and put the inkstone away.

The emperor looked at the tattered armor on his body, frowned, and said, "You have been fighting with the ancestral dragon and the immortal concubine for a few days, how is the battle going?" ”

"The old prime minister is dead."

Huo Quzhi said gloomily: "Chen and Zulong chased all the way, wanting to kill the immortal concubine with all their might, and the war stretched for thousands of miles, all the way to other continents overseas. The fairy concubine has been hit hard.

But in the end, he was not able to completely kill him. ”

"She saw that we were chasing us tightly and couldn't get out, so she had no choice but to return to the space outside the Great Wall under the Imperial Mausoleum, and joined her subordinates and ethnic groups to gather the strength of the ethnic groups and fight with us again."

Huo Quzhi waved his hand to present a picture, which was the scene of the confrontation with the Xiwang clan in the space outside the underground Great Wall.

The earth cracked like an abyss, the mountains were dumped into rubble, and the rivers were diverted.

The dragon breath spit out by the ancestral dragon shook the heavens and the earth with pressure, and hundreds of miles of time and space collapsed, and the tribes of the Western King clan within the range suffered countless casualties, all of which burst into blood mist under the pressure.

Huo Quzhi stared at the fairy concubine and the empress.

After showing the emperor the picture after the battle, Huo Quzhi took out a three-blue bird from the Divine Mansion.

Its neck was pierced by the half-cut Overlord halberd, nailed into the void, and blood continued to flow from its neck.

The three blue birds leaned their necks, stared at Huo Quai's illness with resentful eyes, and said: "Champion King, I will avenge today's revenge in the future." ”

Huo Quzhi shook the broken overlord halberd, and the three blue birds suddenly shattered their whole bodies, their bodies collapsed and reorganized, and they turned into shapes again, still nailed to the overlord halberd, unable to break free.

"At present, it is certain that the one who is sealed in the imperial tomb is the Western King clan, one of the ancient tribes.

They disappeared with the shattered land of Kyushu, and there were people and demons of the bloodline, calling themselves immortals and demons. ”

Huo Quzhi said: "The immortal concubine was severely injured by the ministers and the ancestral dragon, and finally fled outside the Great Wall of the Imperial Tomb, which is suspected to be one of the depths of the continent where ancient Kyushu collapsed. She sacrificed the cost of hundreds of thousands of people in the tribe in exchange for the opportunity to escape,

These three blue birds were responsible for staying behind and were captured by the ministers. ”

"After the war, the ancestral dragon returned to the leylines."

"At present, the minister has mastered the method of partially containing and severely inflicting damage on the Xiwang clan, but he can't completely kill them yet."

Huo Qu took out a stone box after saying that he was sick, but it was taken out of the fairy coffin of the Queen Mother of the West before.

"This stone box is completely sealed, and the things placed can last forever, and inside is an ancient pill, which should be a legendary immortal.

Ancient books record that the Queen Mother of the West held the elixir of life, which was obtained from her coffin, which may correspond to the so-called elixir of immortality.

Immortality can't be done, but it can prolong life, increase cultivation, and also have great benefits for the semi-saints, and the ministers will pay homage to His Majesty. ”

"Give me something, I won't be soft-hearted, you go down." The emperor waved his hand.

Huo Qu got sick and got up and retired.

Outside the study, Dong Xu stood far away and looked at the study.

Seeing Huo Qu come out of illness, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

The most serious punishment is the receipt of fiefdom and military power, but the title of king and the position of the Great Sima are still there, and the rest of the three months of confinement or something can be ignored.

Huo Qu was sick and left the palace, and glanced at Dong Zhongshu's breakthrough in the direction of Taixue, a half-saint.

The breakout time of the demi-saint varies from person to person, and some will stretch for many days, or even months, or even one or two years.

Huo Qu was sick and wanted to hunt down the immortal concubine this time and slaughter thousands of people in the Xiwang family, but for some reason, the luck of the soldiers was more than a large-scale national war.

Coupled with the accumulation of this period of time, you may be able to try to increase your cultivation when you go back.

There are also relics obtained from killing Pang Juan, and things obtained from the coffin of King Xi, which should be sorted out to see if you can find clues to some things.

As the sun set, Huo Qu returned to his house.

Liu Qing trotted out from the mansion: "What's the matter, what did the imperial brother say?" ”

At the same time, the emperor's handling of Huo Qu's illness also spread to the clan and even other parties.

Ps: Preview the follow-up plot, and then there will be the growth of cultivation, Secretary Nabai, the best strategy for achievement, as well as the Imperial Mausoleum, the whereabouts of the First Emperor, some secrets of the East and the West have been revealed one after another, recognized by heaven and earth, crowned with the title of God of War and other plots......
