Ninth Grade Jailer: He actually went on a blind date with the leader of the Demon Cult at the beginn

Chapter 499 The prince and grand master went to Wushan with the beauty, and the queen and princess begged Qingyang Palace for mercy!

Two flowers bloom, one on each side.

Just when Li Nuo and the three beauties went to Wushan together, the undercurrent surging in Luoyang City had already been revealed, and its sharp edges were revealed!

royal palace.

Royal study room.

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Your Majesty... I beg your Majesty, please spare my poor second uncle.

The pregnant Queen Wang cried so pitifully that she was pleading for Wang Ziyan.

Among the five surnames and seven hopes, the Wang family is divided into two lines, namely the Taiyuan king where Wang Yangming and Wang Jincheng lived, and the Shanxi king where Queen Wang lived.

Now that the King of Shanxi has gained power, if Cui Wuhui had not returned safely from Mount Tai, the title of the first family would have gone to the Wang family of Shanxi.

The current head of the Wang family in Shanxi is Wang Zihui, who lives in the ancestral home in Shanxi;

The second eldest son, Wang Ziyan, was a big shot in the Imperial Academy and was the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. However, he was rebelled against Li Zian for falsely accusing him and was sent to prison;

The third oldest prince, Prince Yun, was the headmaster of Suiyang Academy before and is now the governor of Jiannan Road.

Although Queen Wang was from a collateral line of the Wang family in Shanxi, her parents died when she was young, and she was raised by Wang Ziyan's family. Therefore, she has a deep affection for Wang Ziyan. How could she watch Wang Ziyan suffer in the prison?

Wenzong, who took away the body of the King of Qin, only wanted immortality and imperial power, and was not interested in women at all.

If he didn't need to give birth to a blood heir to consolidate the country's foundation and prepare for the future immortality, he would not even look at this queen.

Glancing at the Queen's swollen belly, Emperor Jingtai said displeased: Your second uncle acted foolishly. He wanted to overthrow Duke Wu An without any solid evidence. This false accusation and rebellion is an iron law of the imperial court. If I forgive him, Will Li Zian be convinced?

A trace of gloom flashed in Queen Wang's eyes, which didn't have much affection for Li Nuo.

She said angrily: Isn't Mr. Wu An okay? Now he is living a happy life in Jiangnan.

Emperor Jingtai said dissatisfied: This is because I have the ability. What's more, this matter is not that simple! Your second uncle has offended all the military heroes, do you understand? If I easily forgive Wang Ziyan, wouldn't all the generals in the court not be able to do so? Feeling chilled?

Without conclusive evidence, a civil servant can casually impeach a meritorious general with a smooth tongue, and then nothing happens?

What did this make the generals think?

Do military generals naturally deserve to be suppressed by civilian officials?

Of course Emperor Jingtai was not stupid. Whether he was defending the country or continuing to expand the territory, he still had to rely on these generals. How could he dig his own grave?

But the Queen's appearance also made him a little unbearable. If you are too sad and hurt the prince in your belly, then the gain outweighs the loss.

In fact, the queen was right about one thing. Isn't Li Zian okay? Even if you have meritorious service in guarding Yingtian Mansion, you should be rewarded!

Seeing that Emperor Jingtai was unmoved, Queen Wang had to adopt roundabout tactics.

She said sadly: My concubine's life is really hard. If my second uncle hadn't raised me up, I might not have had the chance to marry Your Majesty.

Okay, why are you talking about this?

Emperor Jingtai was very unhappy.

A bitter smile appeared on Queen Wang's lips: Your Majesty, my concubine's cousin's life is even more miserable! For the sake of Your Majesty's great cause, my uncle sacrificed his own daughters. Hua Xue married her far away to a cold place. It's freezing in the north, and she doesn't know if she can bear to marry someone she doesn't love at all.

The ultimate goal of the marriage between the Wang family and the Ghost Doctor Sect is to obtain the Ghost Doctor Sect's Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic Part 1, which is also known as the Nine Volumes of the Lingshu in the world!

And all this was done for Emperor Jingtai.

Because Emperor Jingtai's [Heroic Spirit Summoning Technique] needs a carrier that can withstand the heroic spirits.

If this carrier wants to integrate with the heroic spirit to a higher degree, it needs the acupuncture technique of Nine Volumes of the Spiritual Pivot to stabilize the heroic soul and bloodline.

Emperor Jingtai certainly understood the importance of Nine Volumes of Lingshu.

In this matter, the Wang family has indeed made sacrifices.

He can be ruthless and unjust, but he cannot let the people who work hard for him feel cold.

He pondered for a while and said: In this matter... you can go to Qingyang to ask for help.

Qingyang?

The tears in Queen Wang's eyes had been wiped away, revealing a trace of confusion.

Emperor Jingtai nodded and said, You'll find out when you go.

Then it won't be too late, I'll go to Chang'an right away!

Queen Wang was a little excited.

She actually didn't have many topics to talk about with this sister-in-law, after all, their Tao was completely different.

But now that she is asking for help, she can no longer put on airs.

After thinking about it, she decided to take her most precious treasure to this sister-in-law to have a good chat and enhance their relationship.

Report...

At this time, a young eunuch walked to the imperial study room tremblingly, knelt down and said, Your Majesty, the eldest princess wants to see you...

Taiping? What is she here for?

Emperor Jingtai was a little surprised.

He actually felt a little guilty about this daughter.

After all, it was the Princess Mansion of Taiping that was used to raise human turtles and refine human elixirs.

In fact, Li Nuo almost found it out by following the clues. Fortunately, he made a prompt decision and asked Ying Yi to burn down Princess Taiping's mansion.

noise.

Here.

Your Majesty, since Princess Taiping has asked for an audience, I will leave first.

Queen Wang was so happy that she quickly exited the imperial study room.

A few moments.

The eldest princess of Dayin hurried in, and the little eunuch behind her could only chase after her with difficulty.

His Majesty!

Princess Taiping walked into the imperial study, knelt down and kowtowed.

Get up. Why did you come to Luoyang in such a hurry instead of staying in Chang'an?

Emperor Jingtai asked calmly.

Princess Taiping's face was bloodless at this time, the corners of her lips were blue, and her mental state was very poor.

She gritted her teeth and said, I beg your Majesty to pardon Zhao Quan for his death penalty!

Be bold!

Emperor Jingtai yelled angrily, Talk about government affairs indiscriminately, Taiping, you have crossed the line!

Princess Taiping's eyes looked sad, but her eyes soon became determined again.

She said: I ask your Majesty to pardon Zhao Quan's death penalty! I am willing to sacrifice everything! Including the fiefdom... and even the title of princess!

Zhao Quan... Speaking of it, he and I, hey...

Emperor Jingtai sighed and paused.

The King of Qin and Zhao Quan have no connection at all.

The one who had the intersection was Wenzong.

In fact, how could he not be aware of the case of Ye Changqing that year after he had been in power for thirty years and his imperial power was consolidated?

Of course he knew that this was a trick played by his concubine son and Cui Wuhui, who was still just the chief minister of the palace, in order to drive his prince out of the East Palace.

He acquiesced in the overt and covert fights between his sons, and even took advantage of this opportunity to perfectly fake his own death and escape from his shell!

In this way, the throne passed smoothly to Jingshun.

And Zhao Quan, as the deputy captain of the Longxiang Army, was also a participant back then.

But he didn't understand why Taiping wanted to intercede for Zhao Quan?

Although Zhao Quan also served as Taiping's bodyguard commander for a period of time, that was an old story twenty or thirty years ago, and this fate has long passed.

Now Zhao Quan has committed the crime of killing the nine tribes, which is much more serious than Wang Ziyan's situation. How can it be so easy to pardon the death penalty?

Your Majesty, please forgive Zhao Quan for his death penalty!

Faced with Emperor Jingtai's question, Princess Taiping did not give any reason. She just said this back and forth.

This made Emperor Jingtai's face turn gloomy.

But soon, Emperor Jingtai's mood calmed down again.

He is someone who has experienced this, so he can naturally see that Taiping's emotional expression at this moment is true.

And for a woman to be so willing to give everything to a man, what else can it be besides love?

But he could not agree to peace with pardoning Zhao Quan's capital crime.

He couldn't tell everything in one word.

He is the emperor, in other words, the greatest judge in the world. He can shift the scale of the verdict slightly to one side, but not too significantly.

As for Zhao Quan, if Li Nuo personally came forward to intercede, there would be a glimmer of hope.

The question is, will Li Nuo repay evil with kindness?

Certainly not!

If he hadn't given the imperial court face, he would have chopped Zhao Quan into pieces long ago.

So……

Emperor Jingtai thought of Qingyang again.

If Qingyang comes forward, will Li Nuo agree or not?

Qingyang, Qingyang, it seems that you will get your wish...

Emperor Jingtai looked at Princess Taiping and said, Taiping, you are asking the wrong person to ask me for this matter. If you really want to save Zhao Quan, there is only one person in the world who can help.

Your Majesty, please tell me who it is!

Hope and light ignited in Taiping's eyes.

As long as she can save her lover, she is willing to do anything.

Qingyang.

Emperor Jingtai said calmly.

Qingyang?

Princess Taiping was full of doubts.

Qingyang is so capable, can he save Zhao Quan?

Um.

Okay! I will go back to Chang'an now to beg her!

Taiping said excitedly.

Wait a minute...

Emperor Jingtai thought for a while and said, If you go like this, Qingyang will definitely not agree. In this way, you can tell her that I am right about what she told me last time!

Naturally, Qingyang wanted Emperor Jingtai to arrange a marriage between her and Li Nuo.

After all, Qingyang is the daughter of the royal family and the direct princess! Her marriage must be approved by the clan mansion and the emperor.

Otherwise, it cannot be justified.

Princess Taiping was surprised and said: What did your Majesty promise Qingyang?

You don't need to know, just do as you say.

Emperor Jingtai waved his hand and said impatiently, Okay, go quickly. If it's too late, no one can save Zhao Quan.

I thank your Majesty!

Qingyang left in a hurry, fearing that if she was too late, her lover would be killed.

Emperor Jingtai fell into deep thought.

He also didn't expect that Zhao Quan, as the governor of Jiangnan and a dignified second-grade border official, would collude with the Six-Armed Jia people to subvert Jiangnan in order to frame Li Zian!

But Li Zian was a blessing in disguise and made great achievements. It established prestige among the common people and even scholars in Jiangnan.

Of course, even if this was the case, Emperor Jingtai didn't think Li Zian would really threaten his throne.

Because Li Zian is a minister, and he is the crown prince, grand master, and Duke Wu An!

It is actually very difficult for a minister, especially a minister with high authority, to rebel.

Because the Central Plains dynasties of all dynasties had national destiny.

And all the important ministers in the DPRK can enjoy part of the national destiny.

If the courtiers want to rebel or even kill the emperor, they will suffer the backlash of the national destiny, which can range from a sharp decline in their cultivation level to a severe paralysis.

Therefore, the changes in dynasties in the past dynasties were not caused by the rebellion of the court ministers.

Before the Taizu of Dayin, Li Jinyuan, killed the White Snake at the age of sixteen, he was just a poor commoner who was forced to die.

but!

Although Emperor Jingtai was not afraid of Li Nuo's rebellion, it did not mean that he was willing to watch Li Nuo grow up step by step and establish his own prestige in Kyushu in the Central Plains.

And if Li Zian continues to grow, he will most likely continue to pursue the blood sacrifice pill.

Once this matter becomes known to the world, then he, the emperor, will be immoral!

Once he loses his virtue, the country's destiny will decline, and his throne will be unstable.

It seems that Li Zian can no longer stay in the court...

Regardless of whether he can pacify southern Xinjiang, as long as he returns to the court, it will be his death!

At this moment, Emperor Jingtai finally made up his mind to kill, which also meant that the relationship between emperor and minister between him and Li Zian was completely broken.

It was Cui Wugui.

Emperor Jingtai could not find any excuse to remove or even kill Cui Xiang, who had stepped into the second-level realm of literature and Taoism and was the current leader of Confucianism and Taoism.

To be honest, Cui Wuhui is far more difficult and threatening than Li Zian.

Li Zian, no matter how strong he is, is just a warrior.

But Cui Wuhui is a second-grade literary scholar! Without Li Qi, Cui Wuhui would be the Confucian and Taoist leader in the world!

Even now he can't see through the thoughts of Cui Wuhui, who concocted the Ye Changqing case sixteen years ago.

Someone is coming.

Emperor Jingtai called out lowly and saw an old eunuch walking out of the shadows.

Shadow Yi was killed, but the Shadow Guards could not live without a leader for a day.

Therefore, Emperor Jingtai spent part of his country's destiny to raise the cultivation level of an old eunuch who had been with him for many years to [Level 3 of Deception], and made him the commander of the Shadow Guards to continue to monitor the world for him.

The old eunuch was very excited when he first took charge of the Shadow Guard, so he worked very hard, even to the point of doing it himself.

This old slave has met Your Majesty.

The old eunuch knelt on the ground, not daring to look directly at Long Yan.

Emperor Jingtai said with satisfaction: Yingyi, where is my prince and grand master now?

Your Majesty, the shadow guards will report the whereabouts of the Crown Prince and Grand Master every three hours. Calculating the time, the Crown Prince and Grand Master should have left Meiguan by now.

Yingyi told the information he had obtained.

Have you left Meiguan?

Emperor Jingtai was a little confused, How many troops has he recruited? In less than a month, he will rush to southern Xinjiang?

Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has given full authority over the recruitment of troops to his lieutenants. But the progress is not going smoothly. In the past half month, Yuzhou, Yangzhou and other places combined have only recruited more than 7,000 people.

The new Shadow Guard commander told the truth.

It will take years and months to recruit a hundred thousand troops? What on earth is this Li Zian doing? Does he really think that he can wipe out the entire demon sect with his own strength?

Emperor Jingtai murmured, The leader of the Demon Cult, Shenlong, has four guardians under him. The first guardian, Tantai Qinglong, is a descendant of the former Great Zhou War God, and has extraordinary attainments in swordsmanship. If it is not possible to form an army, , how to destroy it?”

To deal with super strong men of level three or above, one must either send out strong men of the same level to compete, or use military tactics to form a military formation to confront them, otherwise it will just cost them their lives...
