Volume 3: Immortal Realm Chapter 211: The Game
The Imperial Investigation Division is actually relatively alienated from the current prince. In fact, this is also the trend of the times, since the death of Empress Xiaojing, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been unstable, with Zhuang Guifei getting His Majesty's favor Rilong, Zhuang Guifei's two sons Jing Wang Yun Yulou and Yu Wang Yun Yuzhu have been promoted to the prince, their desire for the position of the prince has gradually revealed. Compared with the heaviness and calmness of Yun Yejun, Zhongzheng and elegant, the two brothers are obviously more long-sleeved and good at dancing, and they travel extensively. In the court of the Pantheon, they made friends with the ministers, and they were generous in their hands, so they gathered a large group of courtiers and guests, and even the generals in the army also had frequent contacts with them, either openly or secretly.
Although Yun Yejun's unsociability was partly due to this, his status as a prince also meant that he was unlikely to have too much contact with the ministers of the court. The relationship between the emperor and the crown prince was first between the monarch and the minister, and then the father and son. If the crown prince has a close relationship with the courtiers, in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, it is a matter that will arouse the suspicion of the Sacred Heart. Therefore, Yun Yejun had to be cautious and keep a certain distance from the courtiers. As the prince, the jade tower and the jade bottle are obviously not among them.
The rumors of the prince's imminent abolition are not a day or two, and His Majesty the Immortal Emperor's attitude towards the prince seems to be becoming more and more alienated, so that the people below will capture a signal, a signal that they choose to lean in one direction when they stand in line.
It is said that the Imperial Investigation Division is only the right and left hand of His Majesty the Immortal Emperor, and they only need to be responsible to the Emperor, and they don't need to lean towards anyone at all. Because who will be the emperor in the future will not have much impact on them. But as the boss of the Imperial Division, the commander Tang Bu also has his own difficulties. His Royal Highness King Jing's influence in the Pantheon is too great, and he also needs to use the strength of the other party at some times to settle some troublesome matters, such as the thorny case handed over by His Majesty the Immortal Emperor, sometimes it is necessary to use the power of the army, and the use of the power of the army is a very sensitive matter, and he does not dare to speak directly to His Majesty, so he can only ask His Royal Highness King Jing for help. After going back and forth, Tang Bu unknowingly intersected with the interests of His Royal Highness King Jing.
At this moment, Yun Yejun looked at Tang Bu who was prostrate on the ground with some coldness, and did not speak for a long time.
Tang Bu Khan kowtowed like rain, kowtowed again, touched the ground with his forehead, and said with a very frightened expression: "Although the minister does not know about this incident, the minister is the commander of the Imperial Division, and he has an unshirkable responsibility for this incident. ”
His voice trembled, beads of sweat dripping from his forehead, leaving a puddle of sweat stains on the brick floor, and the brocade clothes on his body were also soaked with sweat.
Yun Yejun smiled coldly, and his tone was gentle: "Lord Tang, that thief in the Luo Realm is plotting rebellion, that is his own behavior, you don't know it, what does it have to do with you." Besides, even if you have leadership responsibility, it's just a small mistake, and it doesn't hurt. As the prince, I have no right to punish you, so you better go and explain to Your Majesty. ”
Tang Bu kowtowed again: "Thank you, Prince Longen." But he didn't mean to get up, but he still crawled on the ground.
Yun Yejun said with great interest: "Lord Tang, I have forgiven you, why are you still lying on the ground?"
Tang Bu was silent for a moment, finally gritted his teeth, and said: "The minister implores His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to make a word to His Majesty for the minister, and clear up the relationship with the traitors in the Luo Realm for the minister. ”
Yun Yejun smiled: "Lord Tang, you are Your Majesty's right-hand man, you only need to explain the situation to Your Majesty in this matter, why do you need Yejun to come forward." ”
Tang Bu raised his head, but he was already in tears, and shouted: "Your Highness save me!"
Yun Yejun pretended to be surprised and asked, "Why did Lord Tang say this?"
Tang Bu said: "The traitor in the Luo realm is the person of my emperor's arrest department, and now that the traitor is dead, no one can prove that his actions are the work of individuals. However, there will be people with ill intentions who will use this to spread rumors, saying that His Majesty and His Royal Highness's father and son are killing each other, and together with these rumors, Your Majesty will be trapped in injustice, and Tang Bu will die without a place to be buried. So please save me, Your Highness. As he spoke, he touched the ground with his forehead again.
The pacification envoy of the Imperial Investigation Division actually wore night clothes and assassinated the prince, such a sensational thing is destined to become a major event that shakes the Seven Realms. From the outsider's point of view, this can be interpreted as the emperor wants his heir to die. It's just that the crown prince didn't act immorally, and the emperor had no excuse, so he simply let his secret service come forward to kill him. In fact, there is some truth in this statement, after all, there are also rock puppets involved in this assassination, so that the prince dies in the hands of aliens, the emperor can not only achieve the goal of wanting the prince to die, but also be famous and honestly devote the strength of a country to attack and kill the rock puppet clan.
A plan to kill two birds with one stone!
Thinking of this situation, Tang Bu shuddered.
Yun Yejun sighed with some embarrassment: "Lord Tang's concern is also reasonable, but this matter is too weird, and Yejun is a victim, if Yejun still says good things to His Majesty for Lord Tang, what will Your Majesty think of Yejun?"
If the prince has a good relationship with the emperor, in the eyes of the emperor, it is undoubtedly a big taboo, and Tang Bu naturally understands this truth, but now that he is in a dangerous situation, he can't take care of it anymore, so he kowtows again and again: "If Your Highness can speak up for Tang Bu, Tang Bu will never forget His Highness's great kindness!"
Yun Yejun groaned slightly, and Fang sighed for a long time: "Heaven has the virtue of a good life, if Lord Tang suffers a catastrophe of being beheaded by the traitors in the Luo Realm because of his own selfishness, he will also be wronged." That being the case, the Night Monarch is reluctant to make it difficult, so let's make a word to His Majesty for Lord Luo. But the night king just tried his best, but he didn't dare to keep Lord Tang safe. ”
Tang Bu was grateful: "Your Highness only needs to speak for Tang Bu, it is Tang Bu's rebirth of parents, what is the holy will, who dares to speculate?"
Yun Yejun bowed slightly, and his eyes showed a touch of color.
Since the death of his mother, he has gradually become a lonely minister above the court of the Pantheon. In fact, this is understandable, although Concubine Zhuang is only holding the title of concubine, she is actually the mother of the world. And his two younger brothers, since they were promoted to princes, coveted the position of prince is also known to passers-by. In such a situation, it is not surprising that rumors of his own deposition are rampant, and a prince who is about to be deposed will naturally not be welcomed by the courtiers. Although the cold fall of the court will not make His Majesty the Immortal Emperor suspicious, but if he wants to do something, he is also powerless. There is a title of prince hanging empty, but it feels empty, and I don't know where to go, or it's like eating and waiting to die. Sometimes when I think about it, I feel that this is a great irony.
If Tang Bu can keep his position as the commander of the Imperial Division, the help to himself is obviously obvious, whether he is hypocritical or sincere, at least for now, it is not a bad thing for him to be grateful to Dade.
Wanshen Mountain is a mountain, a large mountain located in the heart of the Ancient Continent. This mountain is magnificent and majestic, towering on the boundless plain of the gods, the top of the mountain is shrouded in a bright yellow auspicious cloud for a long time, looking at it from afar, it is like a magnificent crown, but this mountain is not much the same as the general peak, the mountain of the gods is like spring all year round, the climate is pleasant, the flowers and fruits are fragrant.
A huge waterfall cascaded down from the top of the mountain on the east side, and the huge water rushed like a thousand horses galloping, bombarding the deep pool at the bottom of the cliff, and the earth trembled slightly with the violent impact.
Halfway up the hill to the left side of the waterfall, the huge palace stands above the clouds like a heavenly palace, and the bright yellow glazed tiles shimmer in the sun.
At this time, in the majestic and magnificent main hall, a young man in brocade clothes and jade robes hurriedly entered from the palace gate, walked to the high steps, hurriedly, solemn face, came to the throne, and bowed to the middle-aged man sitting on it, and said: "The son of the emperor to meet the emperor. ”
The middle-aged man was dressed in bright yellow clothes, with beautiful hair and fluttering hair, deep eyes, and a majesty that people did not dare to look at directly.
This young man is dignified, with bright tiger eyes, and he has the style of a father, and he is the king of honor.
Yun Yuzun's face was full of worry at this time, and he asked, "Father, I heard that the prince's brother was attacked, I don't know what is happening now?"
Immortal Emperor Yun Que said: "Fortunately, there is nothing wrong with people. ”
"That's great, but I don't know if I caught the murderer?" the nervous look on Yun Yuzuru's face eased, and he had a relieved expression.
The Immortal Emperor shook his head.
"Do you know who the murderer is?" asked Yun Yuzun.
The Immortal Emperor said: "It's the Luo Realm of the Rock Puppet and the Imperial Division." ”
Yun Yuzhu was shocked, and said in astonishment: "Luo Jie, is it the one who calms the Luo Jie?" As soon as these words came out, a touch of horror swept through his eyes, but this expression was fleeting, and he quickly regained his stunned look.
The Immortal Emperor sneered slightly: "What a good courtier of mine, he dared to assassinate the prince." ”
Yun Yuzhu was filled with righteous indignation, and said loudly: "The traitor of the Luo Realm is simply bold, my father must torture him, force him to find out the culprit behind it, and see which one has eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, and even the prince's brother dares to move." ”
The Immortal Emperor frowned slightly, looked at him with some amusement, and said, "The thief injured the girl, but failed to hurt Jun'er, and was killed by an anonymous clan." ”
"Sister is injured?" Yun Yuru was stunned again.
The Immortal Emperor bowed slightly: "In order to protect her brother, the girl fought to the death with the thief and was also injured, but fortunately, the injury was not serious." Hey, this daughter of mine won't let her eyebrows!"
Yun Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief again, reached out and patted his chest: "Thank God, fortunately, I was only slightly injured, and my sister is good." After a pause, he said, "Father, you just said that the thief was killed by an unknown clan, but I don't know who this is?"
