Chapter 305: The Death of the Brass Mask

Qi Wutear's expression was entangled, with a complicated expression that wanted to scold but didn't know what to say.

"Leave you alone, I'm going to sleep!" he tossed a frightening word, got up and left the table first.

Wang Shouren looked at Qi Wuxi's back and laughed, "Why do I think Lord Qi is getting cuter and cuter now?"

Qi Tian patted Wang Shouren, "Let's hurry up and think about what to do, if it goes on like this, I don't care, but the emperor's energy is all used on us, how can she still have the heart to do things for the people of Dawn and the empire?"

Wang Shouren nodded and agreed with Qi Tian's words.

"I think it's time to push this celestial princess. Qi Tian said again.

"Force?" Wang Shouren was a little puzzled.

Qi Tian smiled, "We want to make our emperor feel that she will be overthrown at any moment, and she is very helpless, so that she may understand what compromise is." After all, a person would never dare to put his head in the tiger's mouth, even if he was a martial arts master. ”

Wang Shouren somewhat understood the meaning of Qi Tian's words.

Li Tongwei was worried at this time: "What if the emperor is in a hurry?

Qi Tian waved his hand and directly interrupted him, "Right now, the finances and military are in our hands, and even if the emperor has some means, he can't make big waves." ”

He looked at Wang Shouren, "Just ask Brother Wang to personally write an excerpt on the reappointment of officials or post adjustments, and we will discuss it in the court tomorrow." ”

"So urgent?" Wang Shouren was a little puzzled.

Qi Tian remembered that Yunxian Daogu had given him a two-month deadline, as well as the Lion Empire and the Canghai Empire where the army had gathered, and said lightly: "My time is running out, I will go out for a period of time in two months, and I will not come back for at least two years, and I hope that my family and you will be safe and sound at that time, and nothing will happen." ”

"Why are you going out for two years?" Li Tongwei said in surprise.

Qi Tian shook his head, "It's just learning, it's nothing, let's not talk about it, let's talk about the officials." ”

Wang Shouren glanced at Qi Tian deeply and didn't say anything.

"You don't have to worry about me, I can still be the supervisor of the procurement government. Li Tongwei said.

Qi Tian glanced at him, "You can't be corrupt." ”

Li Tongwei smiled "haha", "Don't worry." ”

"I don't have to worry about my position, after so many years, I will only be financial. Huang Youcai said.

Qi Tian thought about it, and nodded in agreement, "But there are some moths in the Procurement Mansion and the Finance Mansion, and we have to cut them all." ”

"Don't worry, in the past, we didn't dare because some people's backstage was very hard, but now who will be harder than our backstage?" Li Tongwei looked at Qi Tian with squeezing his eyebrows.

Huang Youcai is also "hehe" Zhile.

"Right now that the lieutenant is vacant, I think..."

"Brother Wang, it's up to you. Qi Tian directly interrupted Wang Shouren's words.

Wang Shouren was stunned for a moment and glanced at Ma Dusheng, but the latter looked indifferent.

Qi Tian added: "The position of lieutenant is not just to lead the troops to fight, but also to play with the imperial court, these old brothers are not good, not to mention, you two are like a family, who should not be the same?"

He also had another plan, that is, when he was away, Wang Shouren and Ma Dusheng would contain the Great Moon Emperor with one article and one martial arts, and he would be relieved.

Wang Shouren looked around, and it was indeed the most suitable for him, so he was not polite, "Since this is the case, I will not give in." ”

Qi Tian looked at Qi Zaiqing at this time, "Has the eldest brother figured out what to do?"

Qi Zaiqing looked a little excited, glanced at the direction in which Qi Wuxian left, as if he had made up his mind, and said excitedly: "I think of the Imperial Academy and the resumption of the imperial examination." Since the emperor was obsessed with the harem, the imperial examination was abolished, and all officials relied on connections, so I wanted to restore the imperial examination so that the capable people among the people could also have the opportunity to serve the country. ”

The Imperial Academy is the same level as the Military Academy, and one is to train administrative officials, while the other is to train military attachΓ©s.

Qi Tian's eyes lit up, "Okay, the eldest brother will be in charge of the imperial examination in the future, and if he can, he will also accept the officer Xuetang." ”

Wang Shouren groaned slightly, "It's better to add a command department on top of the two snow halls, and call it the academy, the command of the Imperial Academy and the Officer Academy." ”

"That's a good idea! Li Tongwei said with a smile.

Subsequently, Gu Zhengang and others were also reassigned, but their respective responsibilities remained unchanged.

When everyone left, Qi Tian looked at the sky and muttered to himself, "Emperor Dayue, you must be obedient in the future, don't let me worry too much." ”

On the second day, he went to court.

"Brother Wang, what's wrong with your eyes?" Qi Tian stood in the court, looking at Wang Shouren with a tired face and big dark circles under his eyes.

"It's not because you have to do a good job of adjusting the list of officials overnight!" Wang Shouren glanced at him angrily, "I can't just set the positions of a few of us, and the others don't care, right?

Qi Tian smiled "haha" and patted him on the shoulder as a sign of comfort.

Soon, the court meeting officially began.

When a few small things were agreed, Wang Shouren walked to the red carpet in the middle and said loudly: "Tell His Royal Highness the Emperor, the current lieutenant, the deputy director of the Procurement Office, and several important official positions are vacant, Weichen specially drafted a letter of appointment and dismissal for the eldest princess, and asked the emperor to take a look." ”

A eunuch beside Emperor Dayue presented the recital in Wang Shouren's hand to the emperor.

Emperor Dayue unfolded the book and read it carefully.

There are a lot of positions on this list and adjustments, and she looked at it for a long time before she slowly put down the recital and said lightly: "This is what you drafted alone?"

Wang Shouren knew that if he didn't move out of Qitian at this time, he was afraid that he would give up all his efforts, "It was discussed by Weichen and the general who protected the country." ”

Emperor Dayue was silent, and the officials in the court were also uncertain.

They all understood that Qi Tian had made a move, and the next thing was to see the attitude of the Great Moon Emperor.

The entire court suddenly became silent.

At this time, Gao Yuchen, who was almost forgotten by everyone, suddenly spoke, "Official adjustment is the most important thing in the empire, and now that the emperor has just ascended the throne, it is better to suppress this matter..."

He couldn't go on halfway through his words, because Qi Tianzheng looked at him with a cold look, as if he had been poked by a knife in his heart, so that he no longer dared to speak for the emperor.

"I grant it. Emperor Dayue suddenly spoke.

In an instant, all the civil and military officials present showed a look of surprise, the appointment of important officials above the fourth level in all dynasties was from the order of the emperor, when was it the turn of the ministers to issue their own inauguration orders?

But officials were quick to relent, because the result was also expected.

After all, in the Bright Sun Empire at this time, Qi Tiancai was the one who really held the power, and even surpassed the Great Moon Emperor.

Next, Wang Shouren read out the official adjustment on the spot.

This is the end of a mighty political change.

It was also from this moment that Qi Tian also became the real controller of the empire, including the control of the Great Moon Emperor.

When the court meeting dispersed, Qi Tian felt the awe of the officials for himself, which was a kind of heart-wrenching fear of himself.

"General, the emperor wants you to go to the dormitory to speak. ”

Qi Tian turned his head to see that it was Gonggong He who had been giving him official uniforms.

"Why are you here today?"

Grandpa He's originally smiling face flashed a little unnatural, "She... They are not feeling well, and now they are a little inconvenient. ”

Qi Tian took a deep look at him, didn't say anything, and followed him through the side of the imperial throne and walked towards the dormitory inside.

He knew in his heart that something was wrong with Fluttershy and Big Butterfly.

Wang Shouren saw Qi Tian leaving with Gonggong He, so he frowned, "Old Ma, you hurry up and let Gu Zhengang go over to see, if there is anything to support, you must ensure the safety of your brother!"

Ma Dusheng also knew that the matter was urgent, so without saying a word, he quickly ran outside the court.

It was the first time Qi Tian had come to the Emperor's Bedroom, which was a small court.

"You're here. Emperor Dayue said.

Qi Tian stood proudly, without the slightest humility of the emperor, because he didn't need this now, he wanted Emperor Dayue to understand that only honestly contributing to the country and the people was her only way out.

"I don't know what the emperor summoned me for?" Qi Tian asked directly.

"Why, listening to you, it seems that you are very reluctant to see me?" the Great Moon Emperor asked rhetorically.

Qi Tian shook his head, "As far as I know, the Canghai Empire and the Lion Empire have already assembled their armies, and I am going to exterminate them." ”

"Huh?" Emperor Dayue was a little surprised, "You want to exterminate them?"

Qi Tian nodded, "I don't like passive defense, offense is what I like, I'm ready to kill them halfway, even before they have started." ”

"Are you sure?" said Emperor Dayue's tone with some disbelief.

"Of course, since I have this idea, I have this certainty. Qi Tian said confidently.

"Okay!" Emperor Dayue actually clapped his face, "How about I give you a gift?"

"Gift?" Qi Tian was a little puzzled.

"Bring people in. ”

At this moment, two soldiers pressed a thin man wearing a bronze mask to enter.

When he saw Qi Tian, his whole body cracked and trembled, struggling to scream and escape.

But his mouth was gagged, his hands were tied, and there was no way to escape.

Qi Tian's eyes lit up, wasn't this man the one who helped Xie Jingxuan and Huang Wu in Yunhai City, and helped Xie Jin deal with his mysterious mask in the Imperial Capital City!

"He claims to know you well and is willing to help me deal with you. Emperor Dayue said lightly: "But how can he know about the relationship between you and me." ”

Qi Tian knew that this was a polite remark, but he also thanked: "Thank you, Your Highness the Emperor." ”

"When are you going to set off to attack the Canghai Empire and the Lion Empire?"

"Soon, when my artillery regiment is formed, it will be on the way. Qi Tian said.

"Say it in advance, I'll see you off. Emperor Dayue said.

Qi Tian smiled slightly, "Thank you, Emperor." ”

After leaving the palace, Qi Tian did not go back to the Qi Mansion directly, but directly asked Gu Zhengang to go to the palace prison with him, and there was a person with a brass mask behind him.

After entering the dungeon, Qi Tian came to the interrogation room with the brass mask, where all the torture and detention were available, and in the middle was a cross-shaped shelf.

"Boss, shall I tie that person up?" Gu Zhengang knew that Qi Tian was going to interrogate the brass masked man.

Qi Tian glanced at the trembling person behind him, shook his head slightly, and said with a gloomy face: "No." ”

He walked up to the Brass Masked Man and asked, "Who the hell are you?"

The brass masked man made a "hmm, hmm, hmm" sound in his throat.

Qi Tian waved his hand at the soldier next to him, and the soldier reached out and pulled the cotton cloth out of the man's mouth.

"I... I don't know you. "The Brass Masked Man's voice was very hoarse, sounding like the soles of his shoes rubbing against the sand.

Qi Tian sneered, "You are a smart person, you appeared as a strategist by Xie Jin's side, presumably the same is true by Xie Jingxuan and Huang Wu's side, right?

He said to the soldiers on either side, "Take off his mask." ”

"Don't!" the man in the brass mask struggled violently.

"What are you afraid of? Li Aolong?" Qi Tian said with a smile.

The brass masked man's body shuddered violently, and the only eye that was exposed showed a shocked glow.

"Hehe, sure enough, it's you. Qi Tian said.

At the same time, he was very surprised in his heart, thinking about how graceful Li Aolong was back then, the jade tree was in the wind, and now he is as skinny as wood, as if a gust of wind can blow it down, it is simply one in the sky, one on the ground, and even underground.

"It's not me, it's not me, I'm not Li Aolong!" the man in the brass mask shouted frantically.

Qi Tian looked him up and down, and said suspiciously: "Sure enough, extreme hatred will make people's temperament completely change, and you can really do it to yourself." If you're not mistaken, you put a red-hot mask directly on your face and swallowed hot coals, which is what you are today, right?"

The man in the brass mask looked at Qi Tian with hideous eyes, like a mad wild dog.

"What, you want to kill me?" Qi Tian took a step closer and said in a provocative tone.

"Qi Tian, if you kill my whole family, I won't let you go if I am a ghost!" Li Aolong finally admitted his identity.

Qi Tian nodded, then turned around and rubbed his temples, "To tell you the truth, if you weren't so angry, I could consider letting you go, after all, you are Li Jiaomei's brother, but now, I definitely can't risk letting go of someone who hates me so much." ”

He looked at Gu Zhengang, "Kill him, don't let others know about this." ”

With that, he left the dungeon.

At this time, Li Aolong was not even as good as a wild dog in his eyes, and he didn't bother to kill him himself.

Leaving the palace, Qi Tian looked up at the clear sky, and his mood was exceptionally cheerful, an enemy hidden in the shadows was finally dead, and he could now prepare well to deal with the Lion Empire and the Canghai Empire.
