At noon, the atmosphere in the palace is particularly lively. In the quiet garden, the grass is green and the fragrance of flowers fills the air. The midsummer sun shines on the blue glazed tiles, reflecting dazzling light layer by layer.

The towering buildings are magnificent, and the colorful paintings and carved beams show the magnificence. At the palace gate, richly dressed ministers or maids hurried by.

"The black-clothed guard envoy Wei Lang brought the military plane to Li Ming to ask for a meeting!"

There was a loud shout in front of the palace, and the atmosphere in the main hall of the palace became delicate in an instant.

"Xuanjun is waiting for Li Ming, go to the hall."

The eunuch went up to the stage and sang, and Li Ming in front of the door immediately bowed down to thank him, and then walked quickly to the front of the hall.

"Minister Li Ming, I have seen the emperor."

Li Ming didn't look too much, and walked directly to the front of the hundred officials, knelt down on one knee loudly and spoke in the space between the hundred officials and the emperor.

"Aiqing is flat, is she sick?"

Emperor Jianming, who was sitting on the throne on the steps, spoke in a concerned voice, Li Ming said yes, and then stood up: "Your Majesty Xie cares, I have internal injuries, but under the treatment of the true qi of the black-clothed guard to soothe Wei Lang, it is no longer hindered." ”

"It's good that Aiqing is fine, but I'm not in such a good mood."

Emperor Jianming nodded slowly, followed by a frown, and snorted heavily: "I was assassinated by assassins on the street in the capital, and a military plane can still be assassinated by someone in the capital, I heard that it was still done by the Huns, what does this matter make the court face?" Where is the majesty of my great might? ”

"You usually pride yourself on being able to become a cadre, but you have become blind and deaf in this matter, and in the whole process, except for Li Houye's fellow uncle and uncle, no one from my court can arrive in time to support, I feel so sad."

Emperor Jianming finished speaking with a sad face, and then looked at Li Ming below: "Li Ming, you tell the big guy, what happened today, I heard that this matter is also involved in the people of the City Shipping Division, and you have no matter how big or small, word by word, from the first sentence when you entered the mansion of the head of the Municipal Shipping Division, Wang Ling, and saw Wang Ling, sentence by sentence, sentence by sentence in detail." ”

After Emperor Jianming finished speaking, he then looked at the eunuch holding the pen below: "Be sure to record every word that Li Ming said in detail, understand!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Several pen-holding eunuchs nodded immediately, and in order to avoid missing several people on the scene together, they each prepared tables, chairs, pens, ink, paper, and inkstones, and then looked at Li Ming with a smile.

"Since Your Majesty asked, then Li Ming said, it's just a little complicated, and there is a drinking factor in the middle, and some words are said after a while of drinking, it may be a little strange to concentrate on it at this time, and please forgive Your Majesty."

When Emperor Jianming said this, Li Ming had already started to recall all the things that happened after he met the tomb of the king of Shibosi, and now that he had time for the eunuchs to prepare, he had already thought of a lot.

"Aiqing, no matter how long it takes, I and the ministers are waiting here."

Emperor Jianming waved his hand and motioned for him to say directly, Li Ming nodded, and a flash of reminiscence flashed in his eyes, and then he began to slowly recount the memories from sentence by sentence.

"Li Ming met the housekeeper in the Wangling Mansion shortly after breakfast this morning, and said that Lord Wang Ling of the City Ship Division invited me to the banquet, in fact, I was very puzzled at the time, because the minister had no friendship with Lord Wang of the City Ship Division before."

"As we all know, the City Department is in charge of transactions with other countries, and Wang Ling is one of the leaders, and I have no communication with him, so I have not had any thoughts of dealing with him since entering the dynasty."

"It's just that although the minister is puzzled, but considering that everyone is an official in the same dynasty after all, Wang Ling, as the leader of the city's shipping department, is in a high position, and is willing to invite me, a small official, to the banquet, and the minister is not easy to shirk, so he took his brother Wang Guangyun, Liu Wu, Liu Zhuang and Zhao Xiu to the banquet together.

"After the banquet, the butler asked us to wait in the hall and served us a good [glass tea] At that time, the four brothers also joked with me that it was worthy of doing business, that is, it was rich, and even a housekeeper could take the initiative to use such good tea for us, but the minister considered that this might be a special explanation for Lord Li's use, so he didn't continue to chat."

"Soon after, Lord Wang arrived in the main hall......"

…………

…………

"Master Li, if you miss the distance, if you miss the distance, don't blame it, don't blame it."

"Where, where."

"Sit down, sit down."

"Come, bring the pastries, and then bring my treasured wine, and then take some fresh red dates, cook them with the wine, and serve them to Lord Li."

"Thank you, Lord Wang, for your hospitality."

"Come on, Lord Li, you and I are both court officials, both serve the court, and drink a cup to celebrate the court."

"Please, please."

"Come on, roast the sheep brought from the Western Regions, and then bring those Western Regions grapes over for Master Li to taste."

"The sheep and grapes from the Western Regions are really a good means for Lord Wang."

"Hahaha, not only these grapes and sheep, but also beauties. Let the Western Regions Meiji come up. ”

"Meiji of the Western Regions?"

———— this point, the minister has become more and more aware of the fact that something is wrong, but because this is the home field of Lord Wang Ling, the minister can't say much.

"Dance for Lord Li Ming."

———— these dancing girls began to dance for the ministers under the orders of Lord Wang Ling, and the dancing was indeed gorgeous, but Li Ming and the four followers were all martial arts practitioners, but they noticed at a glance that these dancing girls were all martial arts practitioners, and the suspicion in the minister's heart became even heavier.

"Master Li, I don't know how this dancing girl is?"

"The Western Regions Dance is really unique, and it is indeed unique."

"Oh, if Master Li can think so, then I will be gratified, come, taste these grapes and wine again."

"I don't know if Lord Wang has anything to say to Li?"

"That's not true, just ask Master Li to taste it.

"Lord Li tastes this mutton again, how do you feel?

"It's fragrant but not greasy, and it makes people linger on the aftertaste."

"Oh, that's the case, Lord Li Ming, please eat more, let's finish this sheep today." This sheep is 330 pounds, enough for the six of us, right? ”

"Hahaha, that's enough."

"Lord Li, now that you have made all your achievements, why don't you stop here and stop participating in the war against the Huns? As long as Lord Li agrees, such fine wine, beautiful people and delicacies, Lord Li can be said to have everything in the future. ”

"What do you mean, Lord Wang?"

"On the battlefield, I am afraid that if Master Li really goes to the battlefield one day, he will die tragically at the hands of the Hun cultivators, don't be taken prisoner to become a servant."

"Oh? Hun cultivators? Servant? Lord Wang may wish to say it explicitly. ”

———— speaking of this, the suspicion in the minister's heart has become heavier and heavier, but considering that many people in the court are peacemakers, he feels that this Lord Wang Ling may be a lobbyist of the peacemaking faction and wants to persuade the minister, so he listened patiently, but he was a little dignified about the matter of this Hun cultivator.

"Master Li is really a cheerful person, since this is the case, then I will make it clear. Lord Li is now gaining fame and conforming to the emperor, but it is just for the sake of power and wealth. Now that Lord Li has been awarded the title of Marquis of the Military Aircraft, it is obvious that His Majesty loves him deeply, and he has already gained his name, and all that is left is wealth and real power. As long as you can give up continuing to preach the war against the Western Regions, then I can immediately ask you to be transferred to the head of the city, only under me, and with real power, I can give you a port, how much money do you want at that time, you don't have it? It's just that if you want to continue like this, I'm afraid that when you go to the battlefield in the future, once there is any accident, it will be a harm to Ling Zun or your followers, and the servant girls under your command will be a disservice. Don't talk about others, just yourself, this world is very good, do you want to die like this, and say goodbye to this prosperous and beautiful world? The knife of this Western Regions man is very sharp. ”

"I said what I meant by Lord Wang's invitation to come, because I wanted to say such a thing. The knife of the people of the Western Regions is sharp, and the knife of the Li people is not disadvantaged! ”

"Mr. Wang is in an important position, and today he can take the time to invite Li to enjoy food and wine in this hall, as well as the beauty dance to watch, Li is grateful. Li Mou accepted it, but today's matter, Li will tell His Majesty about it later, hoping that Lord Wang is seeking peace in the world, and not having any other thoughts. ”

"Wait."

"What, Lord Wang still wants to stop me?"

"That's not true, Wang just wants to say that the Huns' knife is very sharp!"

"Li's knife is sharper."

………………

"After speaking of this, the minister left the palace with four followers, but on the way back, the minister and the four followers found that something was wrong, for the sake of safety, the minister deliberately released the letter of the sect in advance to call the uncle to come, I never thought that not long after the signal was released, there was a group of black-clothed assassins with twenty people to surround and kill the minister."

"These black-clothed assassins are well-trained, after the fight, the minister noticed that the other party is a Hun, but was forced by the other party's offensive only before he had time to shout and was forced to respond to the enemy, and there was no chance to shout, in this process, the minister relied on the power of the formation and the brothers and fellow brothers to kill a first-class master of the other party on the spot, which saved his life, delayed until the arrival of the uncle, and killed these Huns under the rescue."

"After the killing, open their clothes, it can be determined that it is the Huns, the minister felt that the Lord Wang Ling behaved differently, so he shouted on the street and begged the surrounding martial arts heroes to help look at the Wangling mansion, fortunately all the martial arts righteous men helped, guarded the mansion of the Wang Ling, and then the people of Dali Temple arrived first, it was a colleague named Yu Zhengsheng, and asked the minister what happened."

"The minister was a little puzzled why it was someone from Dali Temple who came, but he still told the matter, and just briefly said that Lord Weilang, who was followed by the black-clothed guard, had already arrived, dispersed the idle people and others immediately healed the minister's injuries, and brought the minister here."

Li Ming was neither humble nor arrogant, he said everything he could say, and in this process, he was always observing Emperor Jianming's expression, so he was relieved to finish all the details, and by the way, he deliberately told the factors he wanted to find out in his heart ———— Hun cultivator.

"Hmph, come on, Wang Ling, the head of the Zhaoshi Division, came up to testify."

Emperor Jianming snorted first, and then slapped the dragon chair to the outside world, and then looked at the military plane below Li Ming: "I already know everything about today, the military plane has killed these Hun assassins, and it is meritorious to raise the prestige of our country, and actively report foreign ministers, and it is also meritorious, and when this matter is settled, there will be a heavy reward!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Ming hurriedly thanked him, and then stood silently in place and waited.

Only some of the original peacemakers were pale-faced at this time, and Li Ming's words were undoubtedly attacking them fiercely!

It's just that the imperial court military plane was assassinated on the street in the capital, and there was no chance for them to speak at this time for such a major matter, even if there was a lot of unhappiness, under the emperor's prestige, they all had to hold back in their hearts and wait silently for the following.

After a while, a waiter hurriedly ran into the palace: "Your Majesty, Wang Ling, the head of the city, committed suicide in fear of sin, and found many letters with the Huns in his mansion, and the Huns who practiced martial arts, when they saw me and other big cadres entering, these Huns immediately began to attack, and were suppressed on the spot by my big cadres. ”

"Where's the letter, bring it in."

Emperor Jianming opened his eyes, held back his anger and spoke, and after speaking, the waiter took out the letter he was carrying at his waist and handed it to His Majesty the Emperor on the stage.

Emperor Jianming was instantly furious when he saw it: "Okay, you are the head of the city, as a court official, you actually fornicated with the Xiongnu for your own selfish desires, sold salt, cloth, ceramics, and tea to the Xiongnu, and even sold iron, in exchange for cattle, sheep, beauties and grapes to earn benefits, and at the same time had a good relationship with the Xiongnu departments, and also made so many transactions for the Xiongnu, providing them with information about my big job, good, so daring!" ”

"Come, listen to this belief with the hundred officials, and pass on my order, the city of the Bo Si Wang Ling, as an official of the imperial court, actually fornicated with the Huns, betrayed the country, sentenced him to an unforgivable crime, and all the men of his nine tribes were sent to the bitter cold land as conscription, and all the women were inspected, except for the old and weak children, all were filled into the Jiaofang Division, and the Marquis of Li Ming personally inspected them."

"In addition, I will tell the world about this matter, and ask the Huns what they mean by sending people to assassinate our Korean military plane in our Daqian capital!"

Emperor Jianming commanded loudly, and the entire imperial court immediately began to operate, and the sound of eunuch recitation immediately sounded in the hall, and the matter of the fornication of the Xiongnu in the tomb of the king of the city broke out instantly, and spread all over the world in a short period of time.

“…………”

After the meeting ended, Li Ming was called over by the emperor alone. (End of chapter)
