Chapter XVII: Trip to the Court
Before coming to the academy, Ying Kongchen had only come to the court once, and never came again, because he really didn't like these people.
But the trip to Yuyou City made him understand too much, after thinking about it last night, he already had a vague idea in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, this idea was too terrifying!
Ying Kongchen understood that as the only royal heir of Great Qin, there were some things that he had to do even if he didn't want to, and some people, even if he hated it in his heart, had to greet him with a smile.
It's just that he didn't have a very clear understanding of the situation in the Great Qin Empire before, so although he knew this truth, he was unwilling to do so.
After some thinking last night, Ying Kongchen saw the situation in the court of the Great Qin Empire very thoroughly, and the imperial brother Ying Kongli had already attacked Prime Minister Li Tai, and he was about to tear his face!
I'm afraid, this is the real intention of Yu Youcheng's assassination of the imperial envoy!
As the prince of the king of Zhenbei in Great Qin, sooner or later he will inherit the throne of the king of Zhenbei and enter the court.
Therefore, it is also good to come to the court to contact more people and experience experience!
Ying Kongchen stepped into the door of the court, walked through the long green path like the Lingyuan, and walked to a tall pavilion, the debate pavilion, if the court students have any different ideas, they can debate in this pavilion!
Ying Kongchen walked into the pavilion, about the same as when he first came, there were two rings standing opposite each other in the pavilion, and two people stood on the ring, refuting each other's views.
Ying Kongchen pricked up his ears with interest to listen to the debate between the two, but when the words of the two came into Ying Kongchen's ears, Ying Kongchen couldn't help but shrink his pupils, these two people are really bold!
They are debating whether it is "the troubled times of kings" or "the prosperous times of kings"!
What a daring!
Now who dares to say that "kings are prosperous"?
For thousands of years, although there has been endless debate about the "prosperous times of kings" and the troubled times of kings, no one dares to discuss them in the open.
The reason is simple, who would dare?
Great Qin has followed the mandate of heaven and unified Kyushu, so the period of the kings must not comply with the mandate of heaven, and it must be "the troubled times of the kings"!
These princely sons of the court dare to openly discuss this issue!
It's not bold!
However, the Empire did not explicitly prohibit discussion, and the Empire was still quite free in terms of speech. It's just a matter of the size of the bold, some issues are very sensitive, the bold naturally don't care, and the timid are secretive.
Obviously, the princely children of the court are still very bold.
However, Ying Kongchen looked at the supporters behind these two people, and instantly became a little clear, on the left are the descendants of the nobles of the Five Kingdoms, and on the right are the descendants of the founding heroes of Great Qin.
The two sides have different positions, and there are arguments from time to time.
On the ring, the young man on the left is named Qi Wei, who was once a nobleman of the Chu State and later descended to Daqin.
Qi Wei glanced at Zhang Hai, the founding hero of Great Qin on the right, and then Zhang Miyun, chuckled, and said: "During the period of the kings, the Immortal Demon Sect was established in Kyushu, and the sons of hundreds of schools entered the world to assist the kings of various countries, and the land of Kyushu was full of flowers, whether it was the people at the bottom or the princes and nobles, they all had the opportunity to chase the road of immortality.
The kings choose a hundred schools of thought, talents come out in large numbers, and a hundred schools of thought contend, can't it be described as a prosperous era?"
Zhang Miyun snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "A hundred schools of thought are just a group of people in troubled times!"
The doctrines of the hundred schools of thought are different, the actual governance of the kings is also different, and the concepts of the kings are also different, and the war is inevitable!
During the period of the kings, the countries fought endlessly, and hundreds of schools of thought roamed the countries, provoking the beacon fire in Kyushu, and the people were miserable!
The Demon Gate of the Immortal Sect stood in the world, and won the geniuses of Kyushu in the name of immortality, but no one entered the world to resolve the disputes of various countries, a group of people who deceived the world and stole their names!
During the reign of the kings, tens of millions of people died in the land of Kyushu! At that time, the number of human races was less than 100 million, and a full tenth of them died!
This is a prosperous age?"
Qi Wei shook his head and said, "How can things be generalized?
At that time, the human race was proud of the heavens, and although the Immortal Sect and the Demon Gate did not participate in the internal disputes in Kyushu, they reached the demons in the north and the barbarians in the south, so that the demon clan and the barbarians would not have the opportunity to invade the land of Kyushu!
I once remembered that at that time, the Immortal Sect guarded the north, the demon gate guarded the south, and my Kyushu land boy's demeanor was fully displayed, how could the demon barbarians dare to step into my Kyushu land half a step?
Moreover, although there was friction between the nations at that time, in the face of major rights and wrongs, the unity of the nations made the demon and barbarian races chill!
I also remember that the northern demon clan wanted to invade the land of my Kyushu and invaded the northern Zhao country, and the Great Qin general Bai Yu was ordered by the king to help the Zhao country, and the two countries united to beat the demon clan out of Kyushu!
Moreover, in that battle, Bai Yu slaughtered millions of demon clans, achieving the name of killing gods, and making the demon and barbarian clans discouraged when they heard about it!
This is just one example, I don't know how many things like this happened during the period of kings, and the human race united to conquer the aliens!
How many Terran sons are not afraid of life and death, standing on the front line of the crusade against foreign races, protecting their families and defending the country!
The heavens are proud to defend the human race, why can't it be called a prosperous world?"
As soon as he spoke, the audience applauded like thunder, and the descendants of the nobles of the five countries all applauded!
Zhang Miyun's face turned red, and he roared angrily: "Ridiculous, ridiculous, simply ridiculous!"
The human race has died countless times in the civil war, and the land of Kyushu is in tatters, how can it be called a prosperous era?
The troubled times of the hundreds of schools of thought, the Demon Gate of the Immortal Sect is watched on the wall, and the land of Kyushu is smoky, how can it be called a prosperous age?
If it was a prosperous time, what is it now?
If the troubled times of the hundred schools of thought are prosperous, then why should the first emperor respect the Legalists!
You...... You're talking nonsense!"
Zhang Miyun was already speechless with anger, her neck was red, and she gritted her teeth.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhang Miyun has already lost, and when he is brought out of the first emperor, he has already fallen into the inferior!
Taking advantage of the situation to oppress people, it is the most contemptible in the debate!
Qi Wei shook his head slightly, didn't say anything, and slowly walked out of the ring.
Zhang Miyun on the side shouted: "Qi Wei, you come back, this debate is not over yet, do you want to admit defeat when you leave?"
Qi Wei chuckled, didn't explain anything, and left the debate pavilion surrounded by a bunch of people!
Only Zhang Miyun with an angry face and a few dejected teenagers were left.
And Ying Kongchen, who was standing at the end, was shocked, and the kings ...... Is it really troubled times?
Ying Kongchen began to be a little confused, as a royal family of the Ying clan, the teaching he received was that the kings were in trouble.
But after listening to today's debate, Win Kongchen began to waver a little, and this debate was actually won by the kings!
Moreover, what Qi Wei said is not unreasonable!
During the period of kings, was it a prosperous era or a troubled era?
Win Kongchen glanced at Zhang Miyun, who gradually calmed down and was a little depressed, and sighed in his heart, he lost!
And it was lost to those who had been defeated by their ancestors, and although it was only a private debate, it meant something different to the descendants of these founding heroes!
In their hearts, their ancestors participated in the era of Kyushu turmoil, and assisted the First Emperor to establish the first centralized empire in Kyushu, how great their ancestors were!
But today they lost to the descendants of the nobles of the Five Kingdoms who had been defeated by their ancestors, which was an insult to them, and it was even more uncomfortable than killing them!
In the end, the First Emperor was brought out to suppress the other party, which simply disgraced the faces of the ancestors!
Ying Kongchen didn't say anything, and slowly withdrew from the debate pavilion.
Walking around the courthouse, wandering around aimlessly, suddenly, Ying Kongchen seemed to think of something, and his expression became solemn!
Ji Wusi and the descendants of the five kings were all not in the debate pavilion just now!
I remember that the last time I came, I also met Ji Wusi and Xiong Wu, the son of Chu Hou Xiong Yi, in the Debate Pavilion.
Ji Wusi also told him at that time that he liked to come to the Debate Pavilion very much, and in the court, he could sometimes listen to the debate in the Debate Pavilion for a day.
But I didn't meet them today!
It was a long time from the beginning to the end of the debate, but I didn't see Ji Wusi and the descendants of the Five Kings come out, and more importantly, none of them were there.
Is it such a coincidence?
......
In another remote pavilion of the courthouse, six teenagers sat at a table, chatting and laughing.
These six people are Ji Wusi, the son of Anyang Hou Ji Changping, Xiong Wu, the son of Chu Hou Xiong Yi, Tian He, the son of Qi Hou Tian Bo, Lou Yu, the son of Zhao Hou Lou Zhuang, Han Kong, the son of Han Hou Han Tan, and Wei Hu, the son of Wei Hou Wei Si.
The descendants of the former Ji Zhou and the descendants of the five royal families all gathered together, seemingly talking about the wind and snow, but when they got closer, what they talked about was a different scene.
Xiong Wu, as his name suggests, looks rough and loves to solve things by force.
The students of the court all let him go to the spiritual institute in private, and sometimes you argue with him, and if he can't argue, he will directly beat people!
The students of the court privately called him Xiong Mangfu!
Xiong Wu took a sip of tea first, looked very casual, and laughed: "Brother Ji, I heard that you went to Yuyou City two days ago to see the Qing Dao Sect's entry ceremony, I am so envious!"
Ji Wusi's eyes flashed faintly, did this start?
Ji Wusi said indifferently: "To be honest, I regret going a little, there are assassins on the ceremony, but they frighten me!"
Tian He, the son of the Marquis of Qi, laughed and said: "Brother Ji is laughing, Brother Ji is now at the peak of the Divine Soul Realm, I'm afraid that even if he is connected to the Xuan Realm, he can also fight!"
The six of them all laughed, and Ji Wusi looked even more profligate, and said: "Hahaha, don't dare to be, don't dare to be, let's just talk about it, if the group of madmen in the spiritual courtyard hear it, I'm afraid they will trouble me!"
Lou Yu, the son of Zhao Hou on the side, said, "Brother Ji will still be afraid of the group of reckless men in the Lingyuan?"
The six of them burst into laughter again!
After laughing, Xiong Wu casually picked up the teacup in his hand and took a sip, and asked, "Brother Ji, I heard that you have met a few people in Yuyou City, can you let the brothers know?"
As soon as the words fell, although the few people at the table still didn't seem to care, their eyes lit up, and they all pricked up their ears to listen to Ji Wusi's answer.
Ji Wusi laughed out loud and said, "Hahaha, no problem, I really met someone who surprised me very much in Yuyou City this time!"
"Who?"
The five of them asked in unison, their eyes blazing at Ji Wusi.
Ji Wusi took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "How about the prince of Zhenbei winning Kongchen?"
As soon as the words ended, there was silence on the table.
Xiong Wu's face sank even more, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Brother Ji, you know, I'm not asking about this!"
Ji Wusi looked surprised, as if he didn't know anything, and said, "Who are those brothers talking about? I only saw the prince of Zhenbei win Kongchen in Yuyou City!"
Xiong Wu said lightly: "Then Brother Ji knows that Zuo Ye Baili Tenghai brought back the three of them from Yuyou City and stayed in Cuiting?"
Ji Wusi nodded and said, "I know, I heard, what's wrong? You don't think I know the identities of those three people, right?"
Xiong Wu took a deep breath and said, "Brother Ji, you don't have to pretend to be stupid, I'm not a fool!
Ji Wusi smiled bitterly and said, "Five brothers, I really don't know the identities of those three, if I knew, would I not tell the brothers?"
The five of them looked at Ji Wusi with a sincere and helpless look, and couldn't help sneering in their hearts.
If it weren't for someone in their mansion who secretly recorded Ji Wusi's entry into that courtyard, he would really have been deceived today!
Wei Hu, who had not spoken on the side, saw that the atmosphere was a little depressed, laughed, and said: "Brother Ji, you said that our brothers grew up together, if you really know each other, tell the brothers, and the brothers will not spread it stupidly!"
Han Kong, who had never spoken, also smiled: "That's it, Brother Ji, we've known each other for so many years, and you still don't believe the mouths of the brothers?"
Ji Wusi looked at the five people helplessly, but he sneered in his heart, with a red face and a white face?
Ji Wusi stood up, bowed, and said earnestly: "Brothers, Ji really doesn't know, if you know Ji, you will definitely know everything, and you will say everything!"
When the words fell, the faces of the five people were gloomy, and Xiong Wu even scolded angrily: "Ji Wusi!
Ji Wusi no longer looked sincere just now, sat down, and said indifferently: "It's not that I don't say it, it's that I really don't know, brother love to believe it or not!"
Xiong Wu's face was gloomy, he roared, his whole body's momentum skyrocketed, and he punched Ji Wusi, judging by his momentum, he had actually reached the peak of the Divine Soul Realm.
I saw Ji Wusi's face indifferent, and his hand blocked Xiong Wu's fist in the shape of a palm, Xiong Wu's eyes flashed with a hint of color, his fist couldn't advance by half a point!
A cold glint flashed in Ji Wusi's eyes, and he said, "What's the matter? Brother Xiong is going to fight someone Ji?"
And the four of them were already frightened, it was too sudden, from Xiong Wu's move to Ji Wusi's opening, there was no more than ten breaths in between.
Xiong Wu's eyes flashed with anger, and he said, "Okay, Xiong will learn from Brother Ji's tricks!"
After that, it's time to do it again!
The four people who were dumbfounded on the side hurriedly pulled the two apart, Tian He pulled Xiong Wu over, and said: "Everyone is brothers, what kind of hands do you move? What is there to sit down and talk about it, if the talk is successful, everyone is a brother!"
The other three also chimed in: "Yes, yes, yes, what are you going to do?
Xiong Wu, who was pulled away, snorted coldly and said, "Ji Wusi, do you want to say it or not?"
Ji Wusi looked indifferent and said, "Ji said it, Ji doesn't know!"
Xiong Wu looked angry and said, "Ji Wusi, you ......
Hmph, okay, very good! Xiong still has important things, so he won't accompany him, Xiong will say goodbye!"
After saying that, he turned away angrily.
The remaining four looked at each other, and finally, Tian He said with an embarrassed face: "Brother Ji, I still have some things to do, so I will leave first!"
Ji Wusi said expressionlessly: "Okay, brothers take care!"
All four of them said goodbye, and then hurried after Xiong Wu.
Leaving Ji Wusi alone in the small pavilion, Ji Wusi's face did not have the indifference when several people were there, his face was lonely, and a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes.
With a light sigh at the end, it seems that something important has been given up!
......
In the imperial capital, Ying Kongli, who retreated from the dynasty, did not return to the palace, but came to Cuiting.
In the green court, Yingkong Li stepped into the side hall, and the young master of the Mo family, Mo Qinghe, and the two guards hurriedly got up, and respectfully bowed their hands and said: "Cao Min Mo Qinghe (Chen Zhong, Ningde) participates in Your Majesty!"
Ying Kongli chuckled lightly and said, "Excuse me!"
Do you know what I've asked you to bring you for?"
Mo Qinghe replied respectfully: "We are suspected of assassinating the imperial envoy, we should bring it back to investigate clearly!"
As soon as these words came out, Chen Zhong and Ning De next to Mo Qinghe instantly became vigilant, and they were still a little dazed, didn't you tell us that there was no danger?
Admit yourself to being suspected of assassinating the imperial envoy, are you crazy?
The two of them secretly adjusted their spiritual power, but in an instant, a powerful momentum pressed towards them, and the powerhouses of the Eight Realms Xuandao Realm actually pressed their spiritual power back!
The two of them turned red, but they still didn't take a step back, still trying to mobilize their spiritual power.
Ying Kongli glanced at them and said lightly: "Don't try to mobilize spiritual power, in the green court, except for me, no one is allowed to mobilize spiritual power!"
And if I want to do you any harm, why should I wait now?
What do you say, young master of the Mo family?"
Mo Qinghe chuckled lightly and said, "Your Majesty is joking, Uncle Chen and Uncle Ning are just for my safety, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to the two of them and said, "Uncle Chen, Uncle Ning, Your Majesty is right, if you want to do it early, how can you stay with us until now." ”
Hearing this, the two glanced at each other, and the emperor didn't seem to have malicious intent, so the two of them withdrew their spiritual power, and the momentum that pressed on them disappeared in an instant, and the two of them loosened their bodies.
Ying Kongli looked at Mo Qinghe with appreciative eyes, and said, "You really deserve to be the young master of the Mo family, you ...... Very good!"
Mo Qinghe still said respectfully: "Your Majesty has praised it!"
Ying Kongli said indifferently: "Excellent is excellent, why be modest?"
I don't want to be with you, any suspicion of assassinating the imperial envoy is just a reason to bring you back to the imperial capital!
And my purpose is very clear, it's you! No, to be precise, it's your Mo family!"
Chen Zhong and Ning De were already shocked, what did the Mo family emperor want to do?
Mo Qinghe, on the other hand, looked calm, as if he had expected it, and said, "Please also ask Your Majesty to explain in detail!"
Ying Kongli glanced at Mo Qinghe, then at Chen Zhong and Ning De, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and said, "Are these two people credible?"
Mo Qinghe hurriedly said: "Credible, credible, Uncle Chen and Uncle Ning watched me grow up, absolutely credible!"
Ying Kongli stared at the two of them tightly, hesitated in his eyes, and finally the killing machine dissipated.
