Seven-day limit
"Bold! Master Mo, how can you speak?Apologize to the emperor quickly~" The prince hurriedly spoke up before the emperor spoke, ostensibly scolding Mo Lan, but in fact reminding Mo Lan. Even because the emperor had his back to him, he gave Mo Lan a wink, meaning: "No matter what, your attitude is eight-lined, be careful of angering the emperor, and there will be no place to cry when you cry." ”
In fact, that is, the prince dares to do this, can do this, and will do this.
There is a word called "pampering and arrogance", and it is for this reason that the prince dares to do this, otherwise even if the ordinary eunuchs and maids can stay next to the emperor and Mo Lan chatting, do they dare to listen, dare to watch, and dare to interject? No, they don't dare, because they are just insignificant ants in the emperor's heart, and if they listen to the secret today, they will dispose of it tomorrow, and people die and come in every day in this huge palace.
But the prince dares, that is, he is pampered and arrogant, so he doesn't have to shy away from these, so he dares to listen, dare to watch, dare to interject, and can interject. As for why he did this, it was still the same sentence, the prince was loyal to the emperor, he didn't understand what these two people were talking about, but he knew that the emperor needed Mo Lan, and the East China Sea also needed Mo Lan, he was afraid that Mo Lan would kill him, after all, if he angered the emperor, it would not be something that could be solved by simply demoting the official.
"Okay, you don't have to push on it, it really doesn't matter if I don't understand. The emperor waved his hand and asked the prince to be quiet, he and Mo Lan understood each other's meaning, and he was not so stingy, because of this offense, he was furious.
"Are you really sure? If not, I'll arrange for some other people to do this. The emperor said with some sighs, who Mo Lan is, he knows it very well, and Mo Lan has never deliberately hidden it from him, the relationship between the two of them is as clear and clear as a transaction, so he can trust Mo Lan, but now Mo Lan has to take such a risk...... He was a little reluctant, just like the other party's plan, killing Mo Lan was indeed cutting off his arm.
"Not everything can be assured, but even if I fail, there is another way to go. Master Qian has some relationship with me, he owes me a life, so if I fail, he will take action to create an opportunity for you, you have to seize the opportunity, even if it is a little insufficient, you have to seize it, and you have to deal with the imperial uncle without mercy, don't let my sacrifice make my arrangement meaningless. Mo Lan said cautiously, the corners of the prince's mouth twitched when he listened, if Mo Lan hadn't said these words solemnly here, he wouldn't have known that Mo Lan and Qian Youcai still had such a relationship. Who is Qian Youcai? A big corrupt official, a big traitor, why the emperor kept him, he still doesn't know, but there are Jun Yishen and Mo Lan, Wei Lao and the gang are here, it is not easy for Qian Youcai to do things, and he is not too worried.
However, what does it mean for Mo Lan to press the back card on Qian Youcai at this time?
In fact, it is very simple, for the same purpose, which road to take is actually no different for the emperor and for Mo Lan, it doesn't matter if it's the right way or the evil road. The emperor is not afraid of more stains on his body, and Mo Lan is not afraid that he will not return. After all, if you fail, it means that it is very difficult to deal with that imperial uncle by taking the normal path, so don't worry about these reputations or anything, let Qian Youcai start to pour dirty water on him, put on trumped-up charges, arrest and interrogate, don't think about it or go out when you go to prison, if you resist, whether you were guilty before or not, it is all guilty, violent suppression is enough, even if you are standing behind the demon strongman? It's a big deal to move out of the macho heavenly group of the Great Guangming Temple, just fight, and at that time, it will be clear which is right and which is wrong, and there is no need to worry about so much.
This was Mo Lan's initial plan.
"Okay, what a Mo Lan! Someone is coming, pass on my will, cut his official position, demote him to Nanke County Order, thirty rods, supervised by the prince, and implement it immediately!" The emperor's voice suddenly became louder, with full anger, which made the body of Feng Lin outside the door tremble, although he was far away, he couldn't hear what the emperor was saying, but the anger in it, he felt it very clearly, could it be that Mo Lan really wanted to fall?
The worship hall can't meddle in state affairs, but this doesn't prevent them from caring about state affairs, Mo Lan's affairs have been quite hot recently, and a well-informed person like him is naturally clear, well, except for those few people who don't know why Mo Lan wants to do this, he is really clear about the rest, including those reasons for impeachment and Mo Lan's refusal of Jun Yishen's invitation and asylum, he knows it, but he didn't expect Mo Lan to really have the intention of falling.
Then, Mo Lan was dragged out by the two guards who rushed in, and the prince also walked out, there was not much anger on his face, the meaning of unhappiness was more obvious, and it seemed that it was also aimed at Mo Lan, Mo Lan was slightly distracted, and it seemed that he could not accept such a result.
"Princess, what's the situation?" Feng Lin leaned up and stuffed a silver ticket to Prince-in-law.
The prince glanced at the denomination of the silver ticket, seemed to hesitate, Feng Zhenlin hurriedly handed over the second silver ticket, and the prince said: "What Mo Lan did angered the emperor, the emperor originally wanted to let him go, but he actually quibbled, and the angry emperor demoted him to Nankedang County Order in a fit of anger, that is a seven-grade official, let him reflect on it, and he will be honest after suffering hardship." ”
"Huh?" Feng Zhenlin was a little confused, this Nanke County Order said that it was a seven-rank official, but it was nothing, it was the same as not. After all, Nanke County is the core position in the emperor's imperial uncle's fiefdom, and the affairs of the emperor are taken care of by the emperor's uncle's people, and it is also the base camp of the people, which is the default and recognized by most people. After all, what's the point of such a fief as not completely owning? What is the difference between it and being a county magistrate? The emperor is throwing Mo Lan there now, isn't this indirectly announcing that Mo Lan is finished? No matter how powerful he is, he can take people to other people's territory to wrestle with others and seize power? This is obviously unscientific.
"Quietly, don't spread the word, if you have something to do, hurry up, don't talk nonsense, the emperor is angry now. The prince mentioned a few words, followed the two guards who were dragging Mo Lan, and wanted to supervise the execution of the sentence.
"Got it. Feng Zhenlin wiped the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, and then went up again to ask for a meeting, Miao Jiang came to make this matter clear to the emperor, listen to his opinion and then convey it to Miao Jiang.
"What's going on over there in Bihai Pavilion?" As soon as Feng Zhenlin came in, the emperor asked.
"Back to the emperor, Bihai Pavilion is fine, but there was a problem on the way to Bihai Pavilion, and Bihai Pavilion couldn't spare manpower to send a signal for help.
On the way to Bihai Pavilion, one of the four Dire generals, Wei led three teams to besiege and kill the Miaojiang envoys, and there was a second sacrifice of Miaojiang in the Miaojiang envoys, but fortunately they didn't succeed, and two people who didn't know what the origin stopped a team, and dragged it until Gangtao arrived, and the Dire retreated.
The priest wanted to meet him at the next morning pilgrimage, and it seemed that he had something very important to report. According to the minister's opinion, the matter he wanted to report was not a good thing, so the minister tried to stop him for a few days, but he said that it was not only his time but also our time that was delayed, and he came on the order of the high priest, with the order of the high priest, so he insisted on seeing you in the shortest possible time. Feng Zhenlin briefly explained the matter, and then waited for the emperor to speak.
The emperor pondered for a moment, just now Mo Lan brought him a piece of news about Miao Jiang, but now Miao Jiang came to envoy so strangely that he had to see him, and he came with the order of the high priest, could it be that it was really because of this matter? If it is, on the one hand, it proves that the worshippers are nothing more than that, on the other hand, it is indeed troublesome, the three villages were completely wiped out, Miao Jiang could not bear it, it was impossible, and he would not be able to bear it if he was the high priest, this matter would not be a war if it was not handled well, if it was a war now, it would not only be Zhongzhen who would benefit, if what Mo Lan said was true, then there would be his imperial uncle, and even the people behind him, but the blue sea and blue sky and bright moon lantern must not be lost!
Feng Zhenlin is also a master of the Three Heavens, he can feel the change in the momentum on the emperor's body, and in the end, there is a slight killing intent, why is this? Could it be that the Miaojiang envoys who were lucky enough to survive still have to die in the end, and they died in their own hands?
"Let me bring them to them this morning, and I want to see what they are going to do. The emperor didn't say much in the end, but just gave a reply, asking Feng Zhenlin to go back and give them an explanation, and then let Feng Zhenlin go down.
This night, before the early dynasty, the emperor summoned the first military general Qian Quanlin, summoned Jun Yishen and other important ministers, as for what was discussed, no one knows, but in the eyes of those who care, this rainy night in Kyoto seems to be even colder.
......
In the early dynasty, after all the ministers stood in their positions, the emperor's index finger knocked on the handle of the dragon chair and said, "Xuan Miaojiang is coming." ”
"Xuan Miao Jiang is coming~" The prince shouted loudly, and then Feng Zhenlin walked in with the second sacrifice, yes, there was only one person.
The second priest followed Feng Zhenlin and slowly walked into the court, he was still dressed in the same dress, black and white patterned robe, a strange wide mask covering his face, a pair of hands exposed, not hidden under the robe, it seemed to reassure everyone that he would not make small moves.
"Emperor of the East China Sea, as you can see, I did not come with good intentions this time, because what the East China Sea has done makes us very suspicious of your position and intentions.
Not long ago, a village in Miao Jiang near the East China Sea was slaughtered, and Miao Jiang will never tolerate or tolerate this kind of thing. It's not the first time this kind of thing has happened, in half a year, Miao Jiang has appeared three times, all of which are close to the East China Sea, but the first two times the village was weak, there was no ability to resist, and there was no evidence left, this time, in this village we found a considerable part of the evidence, enough to prove that its destruction is related to the official East China Sea, and the answer given by the high priest is also related to a key person in the East China Sea, so I am here to ask you for an explanation!" The second sacrifice did not beat around the bush, and directly said his intention, and directly brought the atmosphere to the point of saber rattling.
"What kind of explanation do you want?" the emperor looked at him coldly.
"Within seven days, hand over the behind-the-scenes commander, as long as his head, I will bring it back to Miaojiang to pay tribute to the souls of the dead. The second priest said in a deep voice, not in the slightest fear of the others' unkindness, and flinched.
"No, let's give it a few days. The emperor frowned, killing people pays for their lives, this is as it should be, but seven days, too short, they haven't even sent someone to search the village, this information is provided by Miao Jiang, if you listen to it directly, it will be a little ridiculous, and it will also make your people feel cold.
"No, this date was set by the high priest and cannot be changed unless it is to fulfill his request, and the reason why it is seven days is because I saw you on the first day of my arrival in Kyoto, otherwise I would have lived to see you, and there is only a period of three days. The second sacrifice shook his head and refused the emperor's request, and his words also made Feng Zhenlin break out in a cold sweat, fortunately they were lucky and didn't let these people die on the road, otherwise I am afraid that it would be a direct war, and there would be no room for relaxation;
"I think it's not just that one requirement that can be met, right? The deadline can be forgiven, but we haven't met the conditions yet. Jun Yishen said suddenly, this change made him a little unexpected, but there was still room in the words of the sacrifice, and it was obviously greasy.
"Yes, but until the request is met, I will not take the initiative to say what the request is, everything is fate. I won't hide it from you, Miao Jiang is ready to go to war, and I also have the ability to communicate with the high priest, don't use too many means, as long as you give us this explanation, we can treat this matter as if it never happened, and still do not invade each other with the East China Sea, if not, let's fight. The second priest looked at Jun Yishen and said slowly.
"Then did your high priest figure out who instructed this?" This sentence was asked by Qian Quanlin, if he wants to fight, he will go out on the battle, and he will not pretend to be dead at this moment.
"Heavenly opportunity, can not be leaked, troubled times, or has come, the catastrophe of the East China Sea, in one move. The second priest lowered his head slightly, and said this slowly in a quiet and distant voice, with a strange magic.
These are the words of the high priest, and if you ask him if he has calculated the real culprit, tell you it, but he will not spare time. After the second priest had finished speaking, he added another paragraph.
"Yes, I know, if what you say is correct, I will give you what you want, but before that, we have to investigate those slaughtered villages and find some clues, this should be okay, right?" The emperor nodded, it didn't seem to be surprised, when the second sacrifice said the first paragraph, he knew that the legendary worshipper was indeed extraordinary, Miao Jiang's meaning and Mo Lan's meaning overlapped in some places, perhaps, what Mo Lan said was right, I hope he can come back alive.
"Of course, this is a token, and it can be carried in and out of Miao Jiang, limited to three people. The second priest took out a token and was taken by a guard under the command of the prince on a tray.
"Alright, then I'll wait for good news. After the second sacrifice was finished, he retired, leaving the contemplative courtiers.
