Chapter 313
313 Please grant me death, Your Majesty (3)
I understand. Duke Wei’s meaning is that if the Emperor relinquishes his imperial decree on me and asks me for help in the future, I’ll feign death and refuse to accept it. I’ll coax Emperor Yuan jing to give me the title of nobility first.
Then, he could leave with the excuse that he was not capable enough. At most, he would be punished and earn a noble title for nothing.
Lord Wei was really … [ full of wisdom (old silver coin) ]
“The Crown Prince is the blood brother of Lin an.” Xu Qi ‘an suddenly thought of the charming and affectionate little fish that he had raised.
The little queen of the nightclub must be sad and helpless right now.
“You and the princess of Lin an, there are no disputes right?” Wei Yuan squinted his eyes and examined him.
“No, no, I didn’t,” Xu Qi ‘an quickly shook his head.
Wei Yuan nodded in relief.
……..
The next day, in the Royal study.
“The three-day deadline is over. Your reply to me is” the case is complicated and has many suspicious points. Please give me a few more days “?”
Emperor Yuan jing threw several memorials at the three ministers.
The memorials submitted by the Supreme Court’s Minister of Justice, the Minister of Justice, and Wei Yuan were surprisingly consistent. It was as if they were copying each other’s homework, and the answers they copied were wrong.
Emperor Yuan jing was so angry that he slammed the table.
“Your Majesty, there are many suspicious points in this case,” the Minister of Justice said guiltily.”I’ve already done my best.” Your Majesty, please give us a few more days.”
“I’m not capable enough. Please retire and return to my hometown,” the official said.
“You guys …” Emperor Yuan jing waved his hand and swept the memorials, brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table to the ground. He was so angry that he trembled.
“I’m going to kill you.”
The three ministers immediately knelt down and shouted, “”My death is not to be regretted. Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body.”
Did they go through their lines?
Emperor Yuan jing was furious.
The ministers on both sides lowered their heads and the officials who always liked to argue with Wei Yuan fell silent.
Of course, this case still had to be dealt with, but the opinions of all parties had not yet been unified. The crown prince’s side was thinking about how to help the Crown Prince get away with the crime.
The other factions were thinking about who would be the future Crown Prince if the Crown Prince was abolished.
They all had different thoughts, but everyone agreed that they should delay the matter. Consort Fu’s death wasn’t important. What was important was the dispute over the country’s Foundation that was involved in this case.
It would be a bloodbath no less than the capital’s.
Each party needed to spend time to think, pick sides, and make arrangements.
In such a situation where the Imperial court had the same goal, even Emperor Yuan jing could only be powerless and furious, unless he didn’t want the truth and abolished the Crown Prince on the spot … But it would most likely be rejected by the cabinet.
“Your Majesty, please calm down. I have something to report.” Chief advisor Wang stepped out and briefly mentioned Consort Fu’s case,
“According to what I know, Xu Qi ‘an, the watchman of the Yamen, did not die in the line of duty. With his strange resurrection yesterday, Your Majesty, please withdraw the matter of the title of nobility.”
In the Imperial study, the ministers were whispering.
That copper Gong surnamed Xu is still alive? The chief of the Supreme Court and the Minister of Justice had complicated feelings.
Emperor Yuan jing was stunned for a moment. He suppressed his anger and looked at Wei Yuan, “”Wei Qing, is the Prime Minister’s words true?”
“It is indeed true.” Wei Yuan bowed.
Immediately, one of them stepped out and said loudly, “”Zhang xingying lied about the case and lied to Your Majesty. Please punish him, Your Majesty.”
Emperor Yuan jing ignored him and continued to ask, “”Why so?”
“Xu Qi ‘an didn’t die. Before the battle with the rebel army, he took the Directorate of Celestials’ pill of rebirth. After his strength was exhausted, he entered a state of suspended animation and only woke up yesterday. Zhang xingying mistakenly thought that Xu Qi ‘an had died in the line of duty, so he can’t be blamed.” Wei Yuan explained.
The reborn pill … When Emperor Yuan jing heard this, he felt disgusted, as if he had eaten a fly.
When he had asked the supervisor for the medicine, the supervisor had refused and said that he had run out.
But now, a mere copper Gong had actually eaten a spirit pill that he could not get.
“How did he get his hands on this medicine?” Emperor Yuan jing’s mouth twitched.
“It’s a gift from Yan Caiwei of the Directorate of Celestials.” Wei Yuan replied.
Emperor Yuan jing pondered for a few seconds and slowly nodded. “The matter of the title of nobility has been withdrawn. In addition, bring copper Gong Xu Qi ‘an to see me. ”
Wei Yuan nodded his head and bowed, “”Yes.”
……..
Xu Qi ‘an was summoned and rushed to the palace before noon. After being verified by the palace guards, he was allowed to enter the palace.
Inside the city gate, da Qing Yi stood with her hands behind her back, waiting for a long time with Nangong qianrou by her side.
Xu Qi ‘an quickly walked up to him and shouted, “”Duke Wei.”
“His Majesty has summoned you regarding Fu Fei’s case,” Wei Yuan nodded. He paused for a moment and said meaningfully, “”The matter of the title of nobility has been withdrawn.”
He really did recall it. This message was sent three days ago, and he still recalled it. He didn’t follow the rules … Xu Qian ridiculed in his heart and said,
“I understand.”
When they arrived at the Imperial study, Emperor Yuan jing wasn’t there. The old eunuch in the Python robe said, ” His Majesty is at the temple of spiritual treasures, meditating with the state preceptor. He will only return in the afternoon. Just wait for him.
This wait lasted for two hours.
…….
At Ling Bao temple, Emperor Yuan jing, who had just finished his meditation, opened his eyes and sighed.”State preceptor, when will I be able to form the Golden core?”
Under the Daoist robe, Luo Yuheng’s voluptuous figure and devastatingly beautiful face could not be hidden. With his eyes closed, he said in a pleasant and magnetic voice, “”When can Your Majesty put aside government affairs and concentrate on cultivation? the Golden core is just around the corner.”
Emperor Yuan jing stared at the beautiful Taoist nun in front of him. Her facial features were gorgeous and she had a soul-stirring charm. The red dot between her eyebrows made her look like a fairy.
A fairy that could be blasphemed.
Emperor Yuan jing sighed again. In fact, he could improve further by dual cultivation. However, even if he was the ruler of a country, he could not force the Dao chief of the human sect.
Not to mention that the other party was a level two expert. Even if he could suppress him with his martial strength, dual cultivation required the cooperation of the two people’s mental cultivation methods and could not be forced.
“When will the state preceptor be able to enter rank-1?” Emperor yuanjing asked.
Luo Yuheng shook his head slightly.
“AI, Zhen is increasingly unable to see through the thoughts of the supervisor. When I asked him for the reborn pill, he refused to give it to me. Who would have thought that today, I would find out that even a small gong can enjoy such a miraculous pill.”
Luo Yuheng opened his eyes and asked curiously, “”A Gong?”
Emperor Yuan jing waved his hand. this person is not worth mentioning. I’ll return to the palace first. I’ll come back tomorrow to meditate with the state preceptor to comprehend the Dao.
He returned to the palace and received news from Xu Qi ‘an that he was waiting in the Imperial study. He did not go over immediately. After a detailed bath, he finally arrived.
In the Imperial study.
“Your humble servant greets Your Majesty,” Xu Qi ‘an said loudly.
Emperor Yuan jing stared at him with a sharp gaze. He did not mention the matter of the reborn pill, nor did he praise Tong Gong’s contribution to Yunzhou. He said straightforwardly, ”
“A few days ago, Consort Fu fell from the pavilion and died. There is a hidden story behind this case. Zhen will give you three days to investigate this case. Otherwise, you will be severely punished.”
Xu Qi ‘an immediately bowed and shouted, “”Your Majesty, please grant me death.”
