Chapter 787 "Killing Secretly"
Chapter 787 "Killing Secretly"
Liang Qu has always been concerned about Jian Zhongyi's affairs. During his half month in the imperial capital, he tried to find people to inquire about him.
Unfortunately, Wei Lin and Xu Yuelong, two people who knew about the situation, left the imperial capital and returned to Pingyang just before he arrived.
The rest...
Even Meng Qiang, the captain of the Yulin Army, is not quite sure!
Things got suppressed.
Perhaps it was the Jian family who made the effort.
When Pingyang Town was abolished and changed into a county, Jian Zhongyi was parachuted in to take the position. This was enough to prove that the Jian family not only had three Zhenxiang masters, but also had strong political power.
Perhaps the imperial court was worried that the incident in the Great Snow Mountain would cause panic.
Small-scale wars in Beiting have never stopped, and there is a fake dragon in Southern Xinjiang. If the Great Snow Mountain is exposed again, it will not only attract the attention of the Great Snow Mountain, but also make more ambitious people feel that there is an opportunity to take advantage of.
At least Liang Qu felt that the Ghost Mother Church took advantage of the opportunity to attack, and Pingyang Prefecture was no longer safe.
Or maybe both.
Beiting, Nanjiang, the Ghost Mother Sect, and the Great Snow Mountain Sect are not allies, but they are highly united in how to deal with Dashun.
"As a native of Pingyang, it is normal for Lord Liang to be concerned about this matter. Even if you don't tell me now, you can still find out when you return to Pingyang Mansion and find Lord Xu." Eunuch Li laid the groundwork, "The Jian family is still running around, but His Majesty is very unhappy. At least one of the masters of the Jian family must die to explain, and it is likely to be Jian Tianyuan."
"Who is Jian Tianyuan?"
"Jian Zhongyi's direct ancestor, Grand Master Zhenxiang, lived to be over 300 years old. When our dynasty started the rebellion, he was over 260 years old and surrendered without a fight in Qingzhou. He can be considered a meritorious minister..." Eunuch Li looked around and waved his hand.
Liang Qu stepped forward.
"It is said that the one who stole the ashes was this Jian family ancestor!"
really!
"Is it like this in all the wealthy families?"
"It all depends on the family tradition." Eunuch Li said calmly, "In an indulgent family, the children of the family start to have fun with maids when they are eleven or twelve years old. They get tired of ordinary things and naturally like unconventional excitement. The Jian family of Qingzhou is a big family, and Jian Tianyuan is not the first ancestor of Zhenxiang."
"Is Jian Tianyuan willing?"
"Before this, everyone in the world said that Jian Zhongyi was filial and polite. If Jian Tianyuan doesn't want to, then let him be roasted on the fire."
"Where's Jian Zhongyi?"
"He said that disaster qi can be identified. Even if a martial saint may not be as perceptive as him, I am going to the Blue Lake to verify the truth of this matter. If it is true, I can redeem myself for meritorious service and operate well. I am afraid..."
Eunuch Li stopped there.
Liang Qu remained silent.
Jian Zhongyi’s words do not need to be true or false, they just need to be unfalsifiable.
It cannot be disproven. Even if he is bewitched by evil methods, he can still survive in the system.
This is the price of unity.
People tend to be stable, so there is unity; unity leads to agreements; and agreement leads to restrictions.
Liang Qu didn't know the Holy Emperor's wishes.
However, if the court did not respond after Jian Zhongyi dealt with the Daxueshan incident, did not reward him for his merits, and punished him without basis, the result would be breaking the "agreement", everyone would be in danger, and a hole would be torn in the solid unity.
Jian Zhongyi told a lie this time, but what if someone tells the truth next time?
Liang Qu himself was the Earl of Dashunxingyi, and everyone envied him. However, he turned around and found out that the imperial court only gave him an empty title and could kill him whenever they wanted. He was treated the same as ordinary people. He felt that he had been there for nothing for so long, and he was not happy about it.
Unity has lost its meaning.
To put it bluntly.
You may not want unity, but there are many people who do.
Beiting and Nanjiang openly welcome the Dashun Martial Saints and Grandmasters to join their camp, and treat them well on a first-come, first-served basis.
of course.
The situation will not be so serious. It is unrealistic to expect the building to collapse overnight if one is willful for a moment. However, the collapse of a building is caused by the convergence of cracks.
a long time.
"Your Majesty is in the Qinzheng Palace?"
"Every winter, your majesty is busy with government affairs, so naturally you are in the Qinzheng Palace. Sir Liang is..."
"Thank you, Eunuch Li, for the arrangements." Liang Qu stuffed two silver notes in his pocket. "If it's not possible today, it will be possible tomorrow."
"Master Liang, please wait."
Watched Eunuch Li leave.
"Long Yao, Long Li!"
"Elder?" Long Yao and Long Li poked their heads out of the room.
Liang Qu weighed the seal button in his hand and said, "Find me a belt and hang all the official seals on it! And take out the jade crown in the box!"
evening.
The sunset is orange and red.
Inside the Qinzheng Hall, golden bricks shone brightly, and wisps of smoke rose straight up from the purple copper incense burner.
Liang Qu wore a white jade crown on his head, a brocade official uniform on his body, and three seals of official position, title, and rank on his waist.
"Lord Xingyi, you have come to see me in such a hurry. Are you dissatisfied with the reward?"
"No, Your Majesty, I have something important to discuss with you!"
The Holy Emperor waved his hand.
The eunuch stepped back.
Liang Qu pursed his lips and looked around. The Holy Emperor waved again.
"Your Majesty!" The Imperial Guards bowed.
"Go down."
The Yulin Army retreated quickly.
"Well, what's the matter?"
Boom!
Liang Qu knelt on one knee.
"Your Majesty, I wish to execute Jian Zhongyi!"
The light smoke tilted slightly, then returned to being straight.
Dead silence.
The Holy Emperor put down his red brush.
"You are hunting tigers with smoke screens. Do you know the memorial he wrote?"
"Know."
"for what?"
"I'm not happy to see him."
"Ha." The Holy Emperor sneered, "The matter of Jian Zhongyi has not yet been concluded. As long as it is not concluded, he will still be the Lord of Pingyang Mansion. You are unhappy with Lord Pingyang Mansion today and want to kill him. Will you be unhappy with me tomorrow? Will you come to kill me?"
"Don't dare!"
Snapped!
The memorial was clapped on the table.
"I think you're very brave!"
"I always speak my mind."
Quiet.
"I don't seem like someone who sees things in black and white. Do you have any truth to tell?"
"I have a Buddhist master, but I still don't know his Dharma name. I only know that he is the Vajra King of the Hanging Temple. He taught me the Diamond Sutra of Subduing Dragons and Tigers. We are not master and disciple in name, but in reality. The teacher has been toiling for several years to hunt down the evil god of the Snow Mountain. When Jian Zhongyi eliminates the disaster of the Great Snow Mountain, he will kill him! I cannot bear to see my master at odds with the court, so I am willing to bear the guilt for him!"
"What if I don't allow it?"
"Then I won't kill him."
The Holy Emperor was slightly startled, then laughed in anger: "Teacher? I thought you were very sincere."
"I am a disciple of King Kong Mingwang, and was promoted by Your Majesty. Without Your Majesty's will, I would not be where I am today. Your Majesty and the Master are my parents. If my parents make mistakes, I will advise them and not disobey them."
Liang Qu lowered his head and the two figures looked at each other.
He considers himself neither a good person nor a bad person. If he sees someone hungry on the road, he will throw a bun to them, but if helping will get him into trouble, he will most likely take a detour.
Before the Dragon Man officially surrendered, he had also taken advantage of the strange phenomena in heaven and earth.
But once he becomes one of us, it’s a different story!
Liang Qu didn't want the old monk to get into trouble, but he also didn't want to be caught in a dilemma.
Therefore, it is better to strike early!
Is Jian Zhongyi’s issue difficult to handle?
To others.
difficult!
to him.
Not difficult!
A twenty-and-a-half-year-old county earl, a third-class earl, with numerous merits, his weight is much heavier than Jian Zhongyi, and the "favor" he receives is much greater than Jian Zhongyi!
I have been around for so long, from a master to the King of Yue, and from the King of Yue to the Holy Emperor.
All the relationships we have built are never in vain.
He can afford this!
I can carry it!
It can be settled!
But don’t get the order of things wrong!
Sue first, then kill!
Kill first, then sue, and you’ll end up with a dead end!
There are many roads, but Liang Qu never takes the longest or the narrowest one.
Just take the smoothest and most stable path.
Secret killing is always a thorn. Not to mention evidence, anyone who suspects it will be a political stain. However, the "secret killing" that the Holy Emperor knows is completely different!
"You hunted a tiger, but you killed an elephant?"
"There's no rush."
"How to deal with the Great Snow Mountain's methods?"
"There is no rush."
Green smoke curls up.
The orange light gradually faded.
"twenty two."
"what?"
"You will enter the realm of Zhenxiang within a year and a half. You will help me with the matter of the Great Snow Mountain." The Holy Emperor picked up the red pen and wrote, "You have not seen me today, and I have not allowed you to do anything."
Liang Qu was very happy.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
