Chapter 181: Raised Vigilance (Please give me a monthly ticket at the end of the month!)
"Tianxuanzi, why do you refuse to marry Changping Jun?"
After leaving Tianxuan behind, Zheng Ge returned to the throne and asked meaningfully.
"Don't tell me that you have true feelings for Yan Fei and Yue Shen? From the first day I saw you, I knew that you are a little bastard who doesn't believe in love!"
Although Zheng's words were plain, they caused ripples in Tianxuan's calm heart. Tianxuan could not help but recall the scene of being beaten to death by his childhood sweetheart, his ex-girlfriend. Tianxuan thought he had forgotten it, but when Zheng said this, he realized that it had been buried deep in his heart and had become an indelible obsession.
"Your Majesty, the reason is very simple."
There is no one else here except himself and Zheng Ge.
Zhao Gao, Gai Nie and others would never approach the three feet around this room without permission. Tian Xuan made up his mind and spoke his mind directly.
"I think that Changping Jun may not be reliable for our Great Qin. In any case, Changping Jun is a prince of Chu, and the eldest son of King Kaolie of Chu! Although he has been in our Great Qin since birth and has become the prime minister of our Great Qin. However, our Great Qin is about to destroy Chu. Which is more important, the grace of birth or the grace of raising? This is an unanswerable question."
"If I really become the son-in-law of Lord Changping, and Lord Changping rebels against Qin and returns to Chu, I will either flee to Chu with Lord Changping or stay in Qin with the identity of the son-in-law of a traitor, and it will be difficult for me to make a name for myself in the future. Therefore, I do not want to be Lord Changping's son-in-law!"
After he finished speaking, without waiting for Zheng Ge to react, Tian Xuan simply bent his knees and knelt in the hall, waiting for Zheng Ge's decision.
Following his words, the originally warm atmosphere in the hall turned into an icy cold one.
Although Zheng Ge's expression was unmoved, there was a cold light in his eyes. He stared at Tianxuan who was kneeling in front of him, as if he wanted to torture Tianxuan to death with his gaze.
If Tianxuan's words were to spread, he would be dead!
Changping Jun was a prince of Chu, but he had served Qin for decades and had made great efforts in suppressing the rebellion of Lao Ai. To this day, he and Wang Jian, one civil and one military, are the two most trusted ministers of Zheng Ge. Tianxuan said that Changping Jun was suspected of betraying Qin and joining Chu, and in general, he was trying to alienate the monarch and his ministers.
Clang!
As murderous intent continued to gather in Zheng Ge's eyes, Zheng Ge's left hand fell on the hilt of the Tianwen Sword. With a flick of his finger, this famous sword handed down from generation to generation made a clear sword sound in the sheath.
"Tian Xuanzi, do you know what you are saying?" After a while, Zheng Ge spoke again with a suppressed tone.
Tian Xuan bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, I know what I am talking about. Whether you believe it or not is another matter. I am just saying this. If you think I am talking nonsense, I have no objection!"
"Humph!"
Hearing what Tianxuan said, Zheng Ge, whose eyes were filled with murderous intent, snorted coldly. Along with this cold snort, the murderous intent that had been accumulating in his majestic dragon eyes gradually dissipated.
"Tian Xuanzi, I am going to give you a task!"
"Please give your orders, Your Majesty."
"The new horse gear you developed has increased the power of the cavalry several times. During the rebellion in Yingchuan County, you led only 3,000 cavalrymen to capture Xinzheng City, which showed me the power of the new cavalry. Yesterday, I issued an edict to recall Han Fei to continue serving as the Chief Censor."
"As for you? I order you to return to Yingchuan County, continue to serve as the governor of Yingchuan County, and train a team of elite cavalry." At this point, thinking of what Tianxuan just said, Zheng Ge's eyes flashed with sorrow, "I have decided to let Changping Jun go to Yingcheng to take charge and appease the people of Chu."
"But, what you said is not completely unreasonable. After all, Changping Jun is a prince of the Chu State. If the retreat and food supplies of my Great Qin's 600,000 troops are cut off by him, then... Therefore, I will give you a secret decree. If Changping Jun plots treason, I will give you the right to execute him first and report to you later!" Rustle!
After that, Zheng Ge took out a blank edict. The scroll of the edict was in the shape of a dragon and was completely black. It was the famous Black Dragon Scroll. Zheng Ge personally wrote on the blank edict with a flourish of his brush.
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty."
Tianxuan had prepared himself for severe punishment from Zhengge, but Zhengge's reaction was beyond his expectations. Although he did not completely believe his words, he was a little wary of Changping Jun.
"Tianxuanzi, if it is true as you said, Changping Jun would rebel in the war to destroy Chu." After writing the edict, Zheng Ge did not immediately hand the Black Dragon Scroll to Tianxuan. He said with emotion, "Then why would he rebel?"
Tianxuan raised his head, his face shimmering with light. "Your Majesty, I think if Changping Jun really wanted to rebel, there are only two reasons. One is that he has the blood of the Chu royal family in his body. The other is that he wants the throne of Chu!"
"The throne of Chu?" Zheng Ge chewed on the words Tian Xuan said, "This is indeed a more tempting position than the prime minister of Qin!"
"Go away! I sincerely hope that this edict given to you will not be used."
"Your Majesty, I think so too." Tianxuan raised his hands respectfully, took the imperial edict from Zhengge, and said in a deep voice.
"Meet Madam Pearl!"
Just as Tianxuan was about to leave, a neat chant of greetings came from outside the hall.
"Madame Pearl? The Blue Sea Tide Banshee? The only one left among the Night's high-ranking officials?"
Hearing the noise coming from outside the hall, Tianxuan's hand, which was about to push open the door, paused, and several words came to his mind.
Tianxuan's mentor, the Raincoat Man under the Moon, once said before his death that Ji Wuye was just a cover for Night, and there was a more terrifying black hand behind it. This black hand was also the real master of Night. However, the high-level members of Night, Ji Wuye, Bloody Marquis, Emerald Tiger, and Raincoat Man, were all dead, and the black hand was always hidden in the fog.
If one wants to know the true secrets of Night, the terrible organization that once ruled Korea, only Madam Mingzhu, who has entered Zhangtai Palace, knows it best. However, Tianxuan is an outsider after all, while Madam Mingzhu is one of the most favored concubines around Zhengge, and their status is very different.
In addition, although Tianxuan witnessed with his own eyes that Madam Zhu gave birth to the eighteenth son Hu Hai for Zheng Ge, he never had the opportunity to meet him formally.
Now that they met unexpectedly, Tianxuan's heart was immediately filled with ripples.
"Meet Madam Pearl!"
He was distracted for only a moment, and Tianxuan had already pushed open the palace door and walked outside the palace. He bowed his head beside Madam Mingzhu, who was dancing with lotus steps and was extremely graceful and elegant, and whose beauty had not been diminished by the years. This was considered a greeting.
Lady Mingzhu, who was wearing a black one-piece mesh dress and had an extremely beautiful appearance, glanced at Tianxuan and walked towards the side hall with her head held high. Behind her, followed several pretty palace maids, holding food boxes, soup bowls and other items in their hands. It was obvious that this favorite concubine of the King of Qin came to deliver food to Brother Zheng.
