Volume 3: Immortal Realm Chapter 217: Aoki
Seven days later, the Immortal Emperor issued an order to dismiss Tang Bu, the commander of the Imperial Division, and sent him to prison, accused of ineffective imperial authority and dishonoring the grace of the saint. This incident did not cause a great shock in the government and the opposition, in fact, everyone knew in their hearts that Tang Bu could only say that he was unlucky, but he was not wronged. He may not have known about Luo Jie's assassination of the prince, but a negative grace was enough to kill him, because this negative grace included trapping His Majesty for injustice.
There is no way to do it. Because the Immortal Emperor did not instruct Yousi to conduct a public trial of Tang Bu at all, a holy decree directly dealt with the person. Yun Yejun was inevitably a little depressed about this, after all, he had promised Tang Bu that he would help him make a statement to His Majesty, but he couldn't seize the opportunity.
"Tang Bu's trip to troubled waters, His Highness must not be involved. When he learned the reason why Yun Yejun was depressed, Ye Shubai gave his opinion.
Yun Yejun laughed and said, "I know what you mean, but since I have promised to speak to Your Majesty for him, I have now failed to live up to my trust, and I will inevitably lose my trust." ”
"In the eyes of His Highness, this matter may be just a casual remark, and it will not lead to any serious consequences. Achievement, not pull-down. But has Your Highness ever wondered what His Majesty would think of His Highness?"
"I have thought that the most serious consequence is that Your Majesty may think that I have something to do with the Imperial Division, and that's it. ”
"That's all???, my good highness, since the assassination of you, has Your Majesty publicly issued a decree to strictly investigate the culprits behind the scenes?"
"This ...... Not really. Your Majesty just ordered the Immortal Martial Army to strengthen my security work, but ......"
"But he didn't tell the world, saying that he would arrest the people behind the scenes at all costs, do you think this is normal?"
"Maybe Your Majesty secretly ordered someone to arrest the murderer, after all, this matter involves the Imperial Investigation Division, and it is not very good-looking. ”
"The assassination of the prince is already known to the whole world, and it is unlikely that His Majesty wants to deal with this matter in a low-key manner. Since it is unlikely, why don't you issue an edict to ask for the culprit? You must know that this is a case involving the Imperial Investigation Division, and the Imperial Investigation Division is His Majesty's right-hand man!"
Ye Shubai's words came out, causing Yun Yejun to fall into deep thought, and his eyes were fixed.
Ye Shubai continued: "Since the Imperial Investigation Division is involved in the assassination of the prince, the best thing Your Majesty can do is to announce it to the world, issue an order to arrest the murderer, and then clarify that this matter is only done by Luo Jie, and it has nothing to do with the Imperial Division. But His Majesty did not do so. ”
Yun Yejun suddenly realized, fear spontaneously arises, he is fortunate that he did not speak for Tang Bu, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. Who is the main messenger behind the Luo Realm, His Majesty has obviously guessed something. It is also because of the special status of the main envoy, if this matter is allowed to develop, it will only make the situation more and more out of control, and then produce results that His Majesty does not want to face. Therefore, His Majesty did not issue an edict to arrest the murderer, so Tang Bu, as the person in charge of the Imperial Investigation Division, his fate was already doomed, if he came forward to intercede with Tang Bu at this time, what would His Majesty think of himself?
There was a chill behind Ye Jun, and he sighed: "Fortunately, I wrote a white reminder, otherwise Ye Jun would have created a catastrophe without knowing it." Suddenly remembered Yun Yulou's words, "So no matter whose pier Tang Bu worships, he will inevitably die." It turned out that the younger brother was reminding himself not to go against the dragon scales, but the funny thing was that he was still thinking about how to find an opportunity to give Tang Bu advice.
Yun Yejun let out another long sigh, and his face was very ugly. In fact, he also saw some problems clearly, but he didn't want to think about it deeply, he was really alone, and the court was cold, otherwise Tang Bu begged to come over, he almost didn't think much about it, and agreed to the other party's request.
Ye Shubai also comforted: "Your Highness, the assassination incident is actually an opportunity, a good opportunity for Your Highness to consolidate his position. The tea talk in the Crane Pavilion is a signal that His Majesty has released to everyone that His Majesty trusts His Royal Highness. Those who want to attack His Highness will inevitably restrain themselves in the face of such a situation. ”
Yun Yejun smiled slightly bitterly: "I can't imagine a blessing in disguise!"
The assassination finally came to an end after Tang Bu was killed and his family members were exiled. The storm and storm on the Pantheon Mountain at least subsided.
That night, on a mountainside on the west side of the Manshen Mountain, a lone ancient castle towered in the dark night sky. A cold moon hung in the sky, and occasional dark clouds drifted across the night sky, casting faint shadows on the earth.
A horse-drawn carriage ticked down the wide mountain path in the direction of the castle. The trail connects the castle and the Pantheon, which are more than ten miles apart, and winds its way on the mountainside, making it a beautiful road in the daytime. But at night, it's like a ghost road. At night, it was dark and dark, and a dead wind lamp hung in the corner of the carriage, and on the dark mountain road, the lamp flickered like a ghostly fire.
In the car sat a young man who was as rich as jade, he was wearing a jade crown on his head, wearing a black dress, his face was cold, and between his eyebrows, there was a touch of evil murderous aura, he gently moved the green jade wrench on the thumb of his right hand, thoughtfully.
At this moment, the black curtain of the door was lifted, and a black shadow drilled into the car, and with the black shadow penetrated, a gust of wind blew the flames of a fish oil wall lamp in the carriage to the side, flickering bright and dark.
The man was stout, with a long face and a pointed nose, and he wore a black cloak like a giant bat. His eyebrows seemed to be cemented by some liquid, glowing in the light. His eyes were triangular and his eyes were like knives, and when he sat next to the young man, he glared at the other party with an aggressive gaze, as if he was ready to kill the other at any moment.
But the young man turned a blind eye, as if he knew that the other party would appear, and he was slowly pouring water and scalding tea on the coffee table in front of him, his movements were skillful, and he did not look at the person who suddenly appeared out of the corner of his eye.
"Your Highness is in a good mood!" the man laughed coldly.
The young man was the Yu Wang Yu Bottle, he grinned, gently put a cup of tea that had not yet been brewed on the desk in front of the man, and said: "Aoki Zhenren, this is the autumn tea of Donghai Prefecture that Your Majesty rewarded me, you can also taste it, the taste is mellow, it is very good." ”
Aoki Zhenma snorted: "I heard that a few days ago, when His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were having a tea conversation in the Crane Pavilion for tea, they also drank this tea. Poor Dao was thinking, could this tea be so magical, it could actually make a prince who was on the verge of being deposed become a favored heir to the throne in the blink of an eye?"
Yun Yuzhu's eyes were slightly cold, and he said with a smile: "What the real person said is right, this tea does have magical powers! Why don't you try it, after drinking it, you will be in a good mood and sleep soundly tonight." ”
Aoki Zhenren said with a stunned face: "Your Highness, you know that there is an extra guard by the prince's side, a master guard!"
Yun Yuzhu raised the teacup to his mouth, took a sip lightly, and nodded: "Of course this palace knows, why is the real person so excited?"
Aoki Zhenren said angrily: "How can Poor Dao not be excited, he killed my junior brother Chen Chuan, how can you calm down Poor Dao?"
"Your junior brother's skills are not as good as others, and it is normal to be killed, this world is like this, if you can't beat others, then you have to accept your fate. Yun Yuzhu's cold gaze flickered at him.
Aoki sneered: "His Royal Highness is so leisurely, it seems that he has also accepted his fate?"
Yun Yuzhu sighed lightly, leaned against the wall of the car, and said lightly: "It was originally a plan that was nine out of ten, but in the end, both of them failed, the rock golem killed him without dying, the waste Luo Jie also killed him without dying, and your junior brother also killed him without dying, oh, no, your junior brother failed to fool people over, hehe! You don't know! Real person, my brother Yulou also ran to the other house and reminded them that Tang Bu was dead, and he should stop pleading with His Majesty. My good brother, what else can you let me do?
Aoki Zhenren frowned, and said angrily: "I knew this was the case, when my junior brother entered the city that day and saw him, I should have slapped him in front of him and killed him, straightforward, clean and neat, don't make any moths, it's good now, this set of plans, one trick after another, all of them have become useless." ”
"Gangsters!" Yun Yuzhu glanced at him, a little disdainful.
Aoki Zhenren stared at him with big eyes: "What's wrong with the gangsters in the rivers and lakes, the gangsters in the rivers and lakes are talking about a happy thing, how can you be like you scholars, with a twist and turn, and the whole thing is going back and forth, and it turns out that there is such a mess." Okay now, you admit defeat, His Royal Highness King Jing also admits defeat, and my junior brother also died in vain. ”
"Who said we admit defeat?" Yun Yuzhu's eyes suddenly turned cold, and his tone was heavy: "This palace tells you that as long as he does not ascend to the throne for a day, his little life will hang on the edge of the cliff for a day, and he will fall down at any time." Of course, if the real person feels that the future is bleak and there is no hope, he can leave, and I will give you the reward you deserve. If the real person thinks that the prince is more promising, he can also serve in the past, and we bless the real person as well. ”
Aoki Majin glared angrily: "Who does Your Highness think of me Aoki?
Yun Yuzhu smiled slightly: "The real person, of course the palace is clear, the real person, please rest assured, your junior brother will not die in vain." This palace assures you that the Lord of the Nights will definitely pay the debt with blood. ”
Aoki snorted angrily again, gritting his teeth: "That son of a bitch, how can you find a chance to kill him." ”
"This person's cultivation is not simple! he actually broke your junior brother's 10,000-year-old vajra system. Yun Yuzhu looked at him, "And in the East Palace, you can't come nonsense." ”
Aoki Zhenren said: "Don't worry, the poor road has not lost his mind, but he doesn't dare to make a mistake in the Pantheon." ”
As he spoke, the carriage gradually arrived at the gate of the ancient castle, and Aoki Majin glanced at the tea on the table, and said angrily: "Does Your Highness like to drink this tea that does not open the leaves?"
Yun Yuzhu smiled and said, "Real person, see clearly, has this leaf opened?" he said, raised the teacup in his hand, and took a sip lightly.
Aoki Masato glanced at the tea cup, and saw that the tea leaves in the water were completely relaxed.
