Jin Yiwei is on duty, signing Fengshen Legs at the beginning

Jinyiwei General Office.

“See the Commander!”

Qinglong came to the lobby and bowed to Ling Xiaotian who was sitting at the top.

Ling Xiaotian put down the documents he was reviewing and looked at Qinglong: “What’s the matter?”

Qinglong cupped his hands and said: “Commander Xun Ling, my subordinates have found out the truth behind the disappearance of the girl in the capital.”

“Oh?” Ling Xiaotian raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, “Who is the manipulator behind the scenes?”

Qinglong said two words: “King Qi.”

“King Qi?” Ling Xiaotian was stunned!

He stood up and seemed to have some realization, “Could it be that the King of Qi wants to use his beauty to seduce the officials and make them serve him? This doesn’t seem to be a good method, does it?”

Qinglong said: “Your Majesty, Commander, is half right. The real purpose of King Qi is not just to seduce the officials with his beauty, but also to control their weaknesses by controlling them.”

Afterwards, Qinglong told the whole story and finally said:

“The King of Qi compiled the debauchery of hundreds of officials on Peach Blossom Island into a book called “The Lustful Records of Hundreds of Officials”, which not only described in detail the physical characteristics, perverted behaviors of these officials, but also the obscene poems they wrote as biographies.”

“If an official does not side with the King of Qi, the King of Qi will spread his evil deeds to the market and become the material of unofficial history and commentary, which will be passed down, ruining his reputation and infamy for thousands of years.”

After hearing this, Ling Xiaotian couldn’t help but sigh: “Although King Qi’s method is a bit despicable, I have to say that this trick really works. Which official in the past and present does not want to leave a good reputation in the history books?”

“Although unofficial history commentary is not official history, it often spreads more widely and is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If “The Records of Hundred Officials’ Sex and Evil” spreads to the people, it will definitely be passed down from generation to generation. Not to mention the officials themselves, their descendants may be ashamed to recognize their ancestors. ”

Qinglong said: “What the Commander-in-Chief said is absolutely true. This is the brilliance of King Qi. If Huang Shaojie and Xiao Qiuyue hadn’t been disguised as bait and taken to Peach Blossom Island by people from the Tiecha Society, we probably wouldn’t have known about it until now. Behind the girl’s disappearance is King Qi’s plan.”

Ling Xiaotian’s face showed admiration: “This Huang Shaojie is really a genius! At such a young age, he not only has advanced martial arts skills, but also extraordinary intelligence. Talents like this must be promoted!”

Qinglong cupped his hands and said: “Your Majesty, Commander, my subordinates have promoted Huang Shaojie to Deputy Qianhu and Xiao Qiuyue to Hundreds. We are waiting for your Majesty to issue the formal appointment documents.”

The highest appointment power of the four major town governors is the Deputy Qianhu, and the Qianhu must obtain the consent of the commander.

Ling Xiaotian nodded: “Very good, I will send the appointment document to Dongzhen Fusi tomorrow. The case on Taohua Island is very important. Don’t leak the King of Qi’s affairs to anyone. I want to go to the palace to see the Holy Emperor and make it clear. This matter.”

Qinglong said: “I understand.”

…

Qingxiao Palace.

Ling Xiaotian entered the main hall under the leadership of An Fu, and knelt down and kowtowed to Emperor Xuande, who was sitting high behind the green gauze curtain at the top of the main hall.

“Your Majesty, Ling Xiaotian, comes to greet you!”

“Ling Aiqing is dead!”

Emperor Xuande’s tone was pleasant. He and Fairy Lingbo had just finished practicing together, and he was in a good mood, but slightly sleepy.

“Thank you, Your Majesty.”

Ling Xiaotian stood up and bowed: “I have something important to report to the Emperor.”

Emperor Xuande asked: “What’s the matter?”

Ling Xiaotian looked at Anfu who was standing by the side of the hall, but hesitated to speak.

“Anfu, please step back first!” Emperor Xuande said calmly.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Eunuch An bowed and exited the hall.

Seeing Eunuch An exiting the main hall, Ling Xiaotian bowed and reported: “Report to your Majesty, King Qi ordered Tiechahui to kidnap hundreds of young boys and girls from good families in the capital, and imprison them on Peach Blossom Island in Qingyang Lake for the pleasure of hundreds of officials.” ….The King of Qi compiled the debauchery of hundreds of officials on Peach Blossom Island into “The Records of the Debauchery of Hundreds of Officials” and included it in the palace…”

Ling Xiaotian gave a general report on the Peach Blossom Island case without saying a single unnecessary word. As a minister, he naturally did not dare to discuss the prince’s intentions.

But the meaning of these words is already obvious, and Emperor Xuande will naturally know it.

After hearing this, Emperor Xuande shouted angrily: “Nonsense! The prince of a great country actually did such a ridiculous thing! If this matter is spread, where is the face of the royal family? Where is the face of the court?”

On the surface, Emperor Xuande was angrily reprimanding King Qi, but Ling Xiaotian also heard it. Emperor Xuande would not punish King Qi, but used the words “nonsense” and “ridiculous”.

This shows that Emperor Xuande did not object to King Qi’s method of controlling the ministers. What he complained angrily was that King Qi’s method was not smart enough, was a bit inferior, and was not worthy of publicity.

This matter was related to the face of the royal family and the court, and Emperor Xuande wanted to reduce big things to trivial matters.

Ling Xiaotian naturally understood Emperor Xuande’s intentions, and immediately bowed his hands and said: “Your Majesty, please calm down. King Qi must have made a joke with the ministers on a whim, so he should

There is no other purpose. However, if this “Record of the Adultery of Hundreds of Officials” is circulated by someone with ulterior motives, it will ultimately damage the reputation of King Qi…”

This was to set up a ladder for Emperor Xuande, and at the same time it was a hint that Emperor Xuande should ask King Qi to hand over the “Records of Adultery and Evil of Hundred Officials” for destruction.

Ling Xiaotian believed that Emperor Xuande certainly did not want King Qi to use this as a threat to control the ministers in the court, lest the court get out of control and even threaten the throne.

Emperor Xuande went down the ladder, still angry and said: “Ling Aiqing does not need to avenge the king of Qi. Although he acted mischievously, he also violated the national law. I must deal with him! You go back to the Jinyiwei Yamen and settle this case.” ! As for how to close the case, I don’t need to say more, right?”

Ling Xiaotian bowed his head and said: “This is a case committed by the Tiecha Society and has nothing to do with anyone else. I have imprisoned the chief rudder and other leaders of the Tiecha Society in prison, and severe punishments will be made public!”

Emperor Xuande said with satisfaction: “Well, let’s go down and Xuan Anfu enters the palace.”

“I resign!”

Ling Xiaotian bowed and left the hall.

After a while, Anfu entered the main hall of Qingxiao Palace and bowed to Emperor Xuande behind the Qingsha curtain.

“Pass on my oral message that King Xuan Qi will come to Qingxiao Palace to see me!”

Anfu heard the sullenness in Emperor Xuande’s tone and bowed:

“This slave takes the order.”

…….

Chunning Palace.

From an octagonal pavilion in Qingya Garden, bursts of beautiful and melodious music came from the piano.

Xiang Qingyang is sitting in the pavilion, with a lyre in front of him. His slender, white fingers are flying and dancing on the strings like an elf. Sometimes the sound is high-pitched like an iron horse, sometimes melodious and melodious like the gurgling water on a small bridge.

She was dressed in a moon-white dress, with three thousand black hairs like waterfalls, and her face was peerless and charming. She was like a fairy from the Nine Heavens descending to earth, untainted by any dust or smoke.

At this time, a young eunuch hurriedly came over and bowed: “Princess, I would like to see you, Eunuch An.”

Princess Pingyang played the piano with her ten fingers and said calmly: “Pass.”

The little eunuch bowed and left.

After a while, Anfu, who was white and fat, came to the pavilion and bowed to Princess Pingyang: “I have met Her Royal Highness.”

Princess Pingyang pressed the strings with her beautiful hand, and the sound of the piano suddenly stopped.

“Everyone, please step back!”

“Yes.” The two personal palace maids knelt down, said a blessing, and exited the small garden.
