Emperor Que Shaohua
Chapter 7
General Wuying's name is Zheng Mingyi. He had fought on the frontier for many years before and was transferred back to the capital because of injuries.He has followed and supported Emperor Tianyi since he was the prince, and his character is loyal and straightforward, so he is very trusted.He entered the hall and knelt down to salute, and said: "Your Majesty, I have brought Ji Tinghui here, and he is waiting outside the hall."
Emperor Tianyi asked: "I remember you said before that this person is a guest minister in your mansion, he is quite talented, but is that so?"
Zheng Mingyi replied: "Exactly. He was born in Putuo, South China Sea, and he has excellent martial arts skills. Last autumn, the deputy general of the minister was ordered to escort tax and silver tributes to Beijing from the southeast coast. He was robbed by several groups of soldiers from the Northern Liao Dynasty one after another. They followed the convoy all the way, wounded people and seized things. They came and went quickly with their martial arts, making it difficult to guard against. The deputy general of the minister could not guard the silver car and wanted to kill himself. After traveling through time, he had to draw his sword to help, and he was able to drive back the invasion of the soldiers from the Northern Liao Dynasty."
Emperor Tianyi's face darkened slightly.The tax money presented by the southeast has always been rich, including precious tributes such as agarwood, pearls, and corals.The journey to Beijing is long, half by land and half by water.However, when they arrived in Jiangbei, even though they were escorted by thousands of officers and soldiers, they were still not safe.He had already heard the news that although most of the silver and tributes had arrived safely, the most precious of the tributes, the water droplet, was snatched by the foreign captives.
Now north of the Great Wall, Beiliao and Yijin have formed an alliance, and they both want to touch Yu and Zhou, and there are constant conflicts on the border.If King Yun hadn't defeated the Beiliao army several times at the border, he might not be able to suppress it.Even so, the two countries still repeatedly invaded by force.There is a Pinwu Hall in the Northern Liao Dynasty, which recruits masters from the country and even the Western Regions to serve it. In recent years, it has become more and more popular. It is said that most of the first-class warriors from the sects outside the customs are recruited; There are also many people who work hard for a lot of money.Sometimes the two countries acted independently, sometimes colluded and conspired, and sent people to sneak into Yu Zhou to disrupt the peace of the country by means of rivers and lakes. From the political situation to the people's livelihood, they suffered a lot.
The Yulin Guard in Luo City is led by Li Pinglan, who is recognized as the top martial arts master by Yu Zhou, but the focus is on the defense of Chonghua Palace and the capital itself.Emperor Tianyi also set up Jingyu Guards, with the intention of preventing Pinwutang and Jin Tiesi's men from invading with force.Although the Jingyu Guards are not lacking in talents, compared with the Liao and Jin countries, their strength is still quite different. After several contests, they have fallen behind.Two months ago, Wu Tingzhou, the commander of the Jingyu Guard, was attacked and killed during a trip. So far, no suitable replacement has been found. This matter has always been in Emperor Tianyi's heart.
Now, when General Wu Ying mentioned that Ji Tinghui had defeated the warriors of the Northern Liao Dynasty, he said: "Send him into the palace, and wait for me to take a look."
The emperor issued a summons, and within a short while, Ji Tinghui followed the palace people into the palace, kowtowed and saluted.
Emperor Tianyi let him lie flat, and everyone in the hall saw that he was about 25 years old, eight feet long, with a good face and a calm demeanor.What's interesting is that the corners of the lips are naturally slightly upturned, and they seem to often have a three-point smile, which makes people feel good when they see her.
Emperor Tianyi was not ignorant of martial arts affairs, so he asked slowly: "General Zheng said that you were taught from Putuo. Who is your master and when will you leave?"
Ji Tinghui quickly replied: "Caomin worshiped under the Kongtong sect in the early years, and joined the Nanhai sect in Mount Putuo four years ago. Master Yu Zhenren never gave up, and he was accepted as a closed disciple. Last year, he became a disciple of Lishan."
Lin Chen touched King Ning lightly, and asked Nanhai Pai Jinliang with his eyes.Luo Pingyuan winked back, signaling to talk about it later.The Nanhai School has been established for more than [-] years, and it has dominated the southeast coast. Yu Miaofang, the real person in charge, went to the Central Plains when he was young. , can be called outstanding.But as his closed disciple, Ji Tinghui has learned a lot, but it's hard to say.
In Emperor Tianyi's heart, he also wanted to try this person's ability.Zheng Mingyi said: "Your Majesty, I have seen Brother Ji use a qionghua sword to perform swordsmanship. It is as powerful as the tide in the sea. The month before last, I was performing martial arts in the school field. On a whim, I let him stand in the field and stare at it. People to push, send one or two people to push, then add five people, still can't push, until ten people, still not shaken. The soldiers present are convinced. The minister thinks that talents are rare, so he boldly asks His Majesty mention."
After hearing this, Emperor Tianyi glanced at King Ning, intending to inquire.
Luo Pingyuan smiled and said: "It is rumored that the Qionghua sword is the sword worn by Zhenren Yu, and I can teach it to you. I think Ji Shaoxia has already learned the truth about his swordsmanship. He can withstand the thrust of ten people without falling, but he uses his strength to use it. The method is involved in many sects' mental methods, such as the most famous Taiji exercise, the dark willows and flowers of the Kunlun Mansion. But to reach the level mentioned by General Zheng, it requires a very high degree of internal strength. In time, it should be famous and famous. achieved."
Emperor Tianyi had heard too much about King Yun's aggressiveness in the past, even though he doted on him, he still had headaches.When King Ning came back, he saw his youngest son Tian He Duanfang, who spoke well, and liked him very much.Hearing his high evaluation at this moment, he smiled and said, "Can you do it?"
Luo Pingyuan smiled and said: "I have never tried it before, if my father is interested, next time I perform martial arts, I will try it, I don't know if it will work or not."
Emperor Tianyi nodded slightly, skipped the matter, and asked Ji Tinghui: "General Wuying mentioned to me that you help him improve the training methods of the imperial guards in the capital, and offer suggestions to strengthen the defense arrangement. If the Northern Liaoyi Jin sent people to infiltrate the Central Plains Create chaos, create trouble, I order you to deal with it, do you have confidence?"
Ji Tinghui bowed and said: "If foreigners invade by means of Jianghu, my disciples of Yu Zhou will respond with means of Jianghu. The victory or defeat depends on which side is stronger and more thoughtful. I, Yu Zhou, belong to the kingdom of heaven, and they rashly The invasion has already lost the right time and place. If His Majesty sends you, the grassroots will do everything they can, and they will die."
He looked solemn and his tone was extremely sincere.Emperor Tianyi groaned for a while after hearing this, and asked again: "Apart from the right time and place, there is also one thing. Now, although there is no shortage of manpower in our Jingyu Guard, it is still weak compared with the masters of the Northern Liao Dynasty. Do you have a solution?" He had been thinking about this matter for a long time, and it was also a worry, so he asked directly.
Ji Tinghui thought for a while, and replied: "Your Majesty is wise, the barbarians on the frontier dared to come, because they saw that the sects in the Central Plains are currently in decline. In Shaolin, Huangshan, Emei and other sects, the elders are old and no longer care about worldly affairs. , although the disciples of the next generation are young and handsome, their experience and skills are still insufficient. Most of the martial arts families hide in the south of the Yangtze River, greedy for the prosperity and comfort of that rich land, and they don’t sharpen their swords for a long time. Therefore, Caomin thought that for the current plan, besides continuing to recruit elites from various sects to serve in Jingyu Guard with holy orders, the second thing is to hire martial arts masters from the Western Regions to be used by Yu and Zhou. In the northwest and southwest, there are many Reclusive and talented, the Kunlun Mansion has grown in popularity in recent years, it can be called Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, grassroots people are not talented, and I had some friendship with some of them in the early years, and I would like to send messages to them to share your majesty's worries."
Luo Pingyuan couldn't help frowning when he heard this.He usually kept a low profile, but he didn't want to be silent at this time, and said immediately: "Father, the Kunlun Mansion has mixed good and bad, and there are many barbarians in the Western Regions, and their advocacy is not orthodox martial arts. As the saying goes, if you are not of my race, your heart must be different." , They have no loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and their martial arts and ambition are very different from those in the Central Plains. If they want to recruit them, they can only hire them with a lot of money, and how can they really contribute."
Emperor Tianyi groaned and remained silent, he was a bit moved by what he said to Ji Tinghui, but he didn't know much about the Kunlun Mansion, and he had many concerns, fearing that it would be difficult to control and cause disaster, so it was difficult to decide for a while.
Before Ji Tinghui entered the palace, he knew that King Ning knew martial arts and was from the Hanshan sect, but he did not expect that the prince who had just smiled and said a few good things about him, would be so resolutely opposed when he heard that he wanted to recruit troops from the Western Regions.He was recommended by Zheng Mingyi, and he came here to fight for the position of the commander of the Jingyu Guard in front of Emperor Tianyi, so he said: "Your Highness, forgive the grassroots for overreaching, not all the people in the Kunlun Mansion are barbarians, there are not a few Han masters, please feel free to invite them. Firstly, both the Northern Liao Dynasty and the Yijin Dynasty recruited members of the sects of the Western Regions with a lot of money, and we have lost the opportunity to deal with Yu Zhou. The Hu people can also be used by me, so why insist on the views of regional sects? The third is that it is a good thing to use the barbarians to control the barbarians and let them deal with the barbarians in the north without hurting the vitality of Yu and Zhou? This is the fourth."
He paused for a moment, then smiled again: "The Kunlun Mansion is the number one martial arts force in the northwest. If Jin wins over, it must be a threat to me, Yuzhou." All the way, it seems that eloquence is not hindered.The corners of his lips were already curved up, and when he smiled at this time, the smile appeared a little deeper than that of ordinary people.
Luo Pingyuan heard what he said seemed to be sound, but in fact it was extremely inappropriate. If he didn't strengthen his own strength and rely on foreign tribes to control the Northern Liao Dynasty, wouldn't it be drinking poison to quench his thirst.Just about to argue, when I saw his smile, as if I had seen it somewhere before, my heart suddenly moved, and I lowered my head to think.
The prince said at this time: "Realist Hanshan sat on Cuiping Mountain and watched the Central Plains for twenty years. His thoughts and thoughts are all orthodox. No wonder the fifth emperor would not like to find another way after being taught by him."
Emperor Tianyi was thinking about letting Ji Tinghui join the Jingyu Guard, first to be a deputy commander, and to see if he was competent, and then decide on the subsequent appointment and promotion.This person made a plan to answer correctly, but he also has some talents.
Luo Pingyuan said suddenly: "Father, wait for my son to ask Ji Shaoxia a few words." Then he asked: "If you and I compete in swordsmanship, I will attack you with the sunset on the long river, how to dismantle it?"
Ji Tinghui was startled, and then understood that King Ning wanted to test his sword skills by means of text comparison, and replied, "I'll go back to Haichao Tianguang." Then he compared with hand gestures, and he said it was the sword move of Nanhai School.
Luo Pingyuan said again: "I'll break the wall and cut the clouds again."
Ji Tinghui said: "I'm going back to Qianfan to race."
Others were puzzled and wondered why Luo Pingyuan suddenly mentioned martial arts moves in the hall.But seeing the two talking faster and faster, fighting with words and gestures, it is impossible to see who has the upper hand.Ji Tinghui intuited that what Luo Pingyuan said was a mixture of moves from various schools, both fierce and flexible, like the rolling waves of a river. lose.
After dozens of rounds, Luo Pingyuan countered with a move of "Jiang Flowing into the Sea". You did not learn from Kongtong, but Huashan, you lied to His Majesty and General Wuying, didn’t you?”
After the words fell, the entire hall was shocked, Ji Tinghui was terrified, he knew the truth, and reluctantly said: "I don't know why the Fifth Highness made such a statement?"
Luo Pingyuan turned around and said to Emperor Tianyi: "Father, Emperor Rong, my son heard five years ago that there was an incident sent by Huashan, which should be related to Ji Shaoxia."
Emperor Tianyi saw that his expression was cold and serious, unlike usual, and said: "Speak up."
Luo Pingyuan said: "The head of the Huashan School has a daughter, who was promised to the first disciple earlier, but that girl is close to a young disciple in the sect, in order to let him improve in martial arts, we can not lose to the big one. Senior Brother, it was just time to mention the matter between the two of you, so I stole a sword manual from my father's collection, which contained the essence of Huashan sword art, and quietly gave it to that disciple. That person's name was Yue Gan, got it Two days after the sword manual, he fled without a trace. The daughter of the head of the sect was in touch with him, waiting for her sweetheart to return, and the sect discovered the loss of the secret book, so she had to commit suicide in grief."
Ji Tinghui said in a deep voice: "Does His Highness Fifth want to say that I have nothing to do with this matter?"
Luo Pingyuan ignored it, and continued: "The head of Huashan lost his sword manual and lost his beloved daughter. He felt grief and indignation, but it's not easy to publicize it to the outside world. We can only step up and investigate Yue Gan's whereabouts in the Mingmen. Yue Gan is clever. Shan Yan is very popular in the sect, and after his disappearance, there are fellow sects who speculate whether he has something to hide. However, this person has never returned and has never been seen."
Speaking of this, he stared at Ji Tinghui: "Originally, the matter came to this point, it was only an internal matter of Huashan faction. However, after half a year, two guardians, one Han and one Hu, came from Kunlun Mansion to Suo Zhan of Huashan faction. There was a provocation, they dismissed the Huashan swordsmanship as useless, and threatened that it could be broken in a moment. The Huashan faction was all infuriated when they heard it, and they made a move. When they fought, they realized that the opponent was very familiar with the essence of the school's swordsmanship. Take the initiative, and strike fiercely, either cut off an arm, or cut off a leg. The head of Huashan saw this situation, and he knew it. It must be that Yue Qian was sent by the Kunlun Mansion to lurk in the door and plot the sword manual , causing today's misfortune. He was so angry that he was in a state of chaos, and one arm was cut off. In this battle, the Huashan faction injured seven or eight people in a row. However, among the two people who broke into the mountain, the guardian of the Western Regions was named Jin Tuopan, who now works in the Yijin Jintie Division and ranks third. My son thinks that the hatred of Huashan in the past will be difficult to protect if it is not guarded against. It will not happen again in the future and endanger me, Yuzhou."
When he said this, everyone was moved, and Ji Tinghui's face changed, and then he calmed down again: "The Fifth Highness said just now, there are still two things that the grass people don't understand, so I want to ask for advice. Although that Yue Gan may have taken the sword manual , but he was originally a Huashan disciple, so he wasn't too overstepping the rules. And the fact that the Western Region sect won the competition, it can be said that the Huashan sect is inferior to others. Fights between sects in the martial arts are normal. What evidence can prove that it is related to the loss of the sword manual? What’s more, Caomin was involved in the swordsmanship of various schools in the Caiwen competition just now, even if he used a few moves of Huashan swordsmanship, how could His Royal Highness deduce that I am a member of Huashan sect, and imply that I am that Yuegan?” He He knew that if what Luo Pingyuan said was true, let alone gaining the appreciation of Emperor Tianyi, he might even lose his life, so he didn't dare to give in at all.Thinking about it, Luo Pingyuan was only fourteen or fifteen years old back then, even if he had guessed the clue, there was nothing to prove it without evidence.As long as you deny it, you still have a chance to get out today.
Luo Pingyuan focused on him, and said slowly: "When I was 14 years old, I went to the Huashan School with my senior brother and met Yue Gan once. At that time, you and Miss Shi Wan went to the hall to accompany the guests, and you only sat for a moment before leaving , but that’s the case? You have a natural smile, and your smile is different from others, so I remember it clearly.”
Ji Tinghui shook his head and said, "Your Highness the Fifth Highness may have admitted the wrong person. I am not Yue Gan."
Seeing that he didn't admit it, Luo Pingyuan sneered and said, "Yue Qian has a mole on his left earlobe. You don't have one, but there is a burn scar on the same part. How could it be such a coincidence?"
Everyone looked at Ji Tinghui at the same time, and saw that there was indeed a scalded circular scar on his left earlobe, which was not conspicuous, and it would be difficult to identify unless it was pointed out intentionally.
Emperor Tianyi's face darkened, and General Wu Ying's face was even more ashen.Ji Tinghui immediately knelt down, he knew that at this moment, he could no longer defend himself, but he kept saying: "My sage knows, His Highness the Fifth Highness has really admitted the wrong person, and the grassroots are wronged!" But he couldn't help looking at the prince.
King Ning bowed to Emperor Tianyi and said: "Father, Yue Qian deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors, neglected his feelings, betrayed the secrets of his sect, and harmed his fellow sects. How could he be loyal to the country even if he did such things. I beg you Father imprisoned this person for interrogation, and asked Huashan disciples to identify him and punish him."
The prince said in a low voice: "Father, the five emperors are well versed in the affairs of the Jianghu, and they are jealous of evil, but the disputes in the Jianghu have never been involved with the government. Both the Huashan School and the Kunlun Mansion are Jianghu sects. The incident happened five years ago. He came to serve, even if it proves that he is Yue Gan, I'm afraid... What I'm worried about is that people in the martial arts have many grievances, if Yue Gan is punished, others will inevitably have concerns and dare not come to serve. "
As a daughter's family, Luo Xuening was already furious when she heard Shi Wan's experience, and couldn't help but said: "Father, if he is Yue Gan, his name and origin are all fake, this is a way to deceive the king." crime!"
Emperor Tianyi was very angry in his heart, this Ji Tinghui was determined not to use it, if he was entrusted to the Jingyu Guard just now, wouldn't it be ridiculous and generous.But he thought that the prince's words were not unreasonable, so he said: "Take him into custody temporarily, and let Huashan send people to Beijing. If it is true as Ping Yuan said, he will have a forty stick and hand him over to Huashan to deal with."
Ji Tinghui was full of kung fu, but he didn't dare to use it in the Chonghua Palace. He just complained repeatedly, and was impolitely detained by the imperial guards.
Emperor Tianyi's interest was gone, but when he saw Zheng Mingyi knelt down to plead guilty, he said a few words of relief, and let his sons and daughters go away, and he himself went to the harem to rest.
After leaving the palace gate, the prince's face was gloomy like a black cloud covering the sun.It took Ji Tinghui half a year to gain the trust of General Wuying. He was recommended by the emperor. General Wuying's mansion is just in the northwest of Luocheng. Gain control of Jing Yuwei.The Huashan School has declined in recent years, and the disciples of the sect rarely come out. Although Ji Tinghui has some unclear past, but Yue Gan deliberately kept out of his face in Huashan back then, not many people in the martial arts knew him, so it doesn't matter.This matter has been planned for a long time, and it is progressing smoothly, who would have expected it to come to an end today, but he was recognized by the five princes and revealed the truth on the spot, so he couldn't help but feel annoyed.
After Ji Tinghui was detained, Luo Pingyuan thought that this person might be a member of the Kunlun Mansion, and his status might not be low.He had something on his mind, and wanted to interrogate him in prison and ask about the situation in the Kunlun Mansion, but thinking that it was not the best time, he decided not to take any action for the time being, and decided to wait until the disciples of Huashan School came to deal with it.
For several days after that, he lived quietly in Dingjianhou's mansion.A few days later, Emperor Tianyi really went to the Taimiao to worship heaven, and only appointed the prince to accompany him, Luo Pingyuan did not follow.When Lin Chen came to drag him out again, he saw that King Ning was unmoved no matter how much he described, knowing that he didn't want to make trouble, so he had to touch his nose and pass the time instead by playing chess and martial arts.
Lin Chen is proficient in bow and horse, and also has a small amount of internal strength, the two of them competed from time to time, and occasionally came to talk with a few friends, and the days passed.So soon came the third day of May.
Emperor Tianyi asked: "I remember you said before that this person is a guest minister in your mansion, he is quite talented, but is that so?"
Zheng Mingyi replied: "Exactly. He was born in Putuo, South China Sea, and he has excellent martial arts skills. Last autumn, the deputy general of the minister was ordered to escort tax and silver tributes to Beijing from the southeast coast. He was robbed by several groups of soldiers from the Northern Liao Dynasty one after another. They followed the convoy all the way, wounded people and seized things. They came and went quickly with their martial arts, making it difficult to guard against. The deputy general of the minister could not guard the silver car and wanted to kill himself.

The prince said at this time: "Realist Hanshan sat on Cuiping Mountain and watched the Central Plains for twenty years. His thoughts and thoughts are all orthodox. No wonder the fifth emperor would not like to find another way after being taught by him."
Emperor Tianyi was thinking about letting Ji Tinghui join the Jingyu Guard, first to be a deputy commander, and to see if he was competent, and then decide on the subsequent appointment and promotion.This person made a plan to answer correctly, but he also has some talents.
Luo Pingyuan said suddenly: "Father, wait for my son to ask Ji Shaoxia a few words." Then he asked: "If you and I compete in swordsmanship, I will attack you with the sunset on the long river, how to dismantle it?"
Ji Tinghui was startled, and then understood that King Ning wanted to test his sword skills by means of text comparison, and replied, "I'll go back to Haichao Tianguang." Then he compared with hand gestures, and he said it was the sword move of Nanhai School.
Luo Pingyuan said again: "I'll break the wall and cut the clouds again."
Ji Tinghui said: "I'm going back to Qianfan to race."
Others were puzzled and wondered why Luo Pingyuan suddenly mentioned martial arts moves in the hall.But seeing the two talking faster and faster, fighting with words and gestures, it is impossible to see who has the upper hand.Ji Tinghui intuited that what Luo Pingyuan said was a mixture of moves from various schools, both fierce and flexible, like the rolling waves of a river. lose.
After dozens of rounds, Luo Pingyuan countered with a move of "Jiang Flowing into the Sea". You did not learn from Kongtong, but Huashan, you lied to His Majesty and General Wuying, didn’t you?”
After the words fell, the entire hall was shocked, Ji Tinghui was terrified, he knew the truth, and reluctantly said: "I don't know why the Fifth Highness made such a statement?"
Luo Pingyuan turned around and said to Emperor Tianyi: "Father, Emperor Rong, my son heard five years ago that there was an incident sent by Huashan, which should be related to Ji Shaoxia."
Emperor Tianyi saw that his expression was cold and serious, unlike usual, and said: "Speak up."
Luo Pingyuan said: "The head of the Huashan School has a daughter, who was promised to the first disciple earlier, but that girl is close to a young disciple in the sect, in order to let him improve in martial arts, we can not lose to the big one. Senior Brother, it was just time to mention the matter between the two of you, so I stole a sword manual from my father's collection, which contained the essence of Huashan sword art, and quietly gave it to that disciple. That person's name was Yue Gan, got it Two days after the sword manual, he fled without a trace. The daughter of the head of the sect was in touch with him, waiting for her sweetheart to return, and the sect discovered the loss of the secret book, so she had to commit suicide in grief."
Ji Tinghui said in a deep voice: "Does His Highness Fifth want to say that I have nothing to do with this matter?"
Luo Pingyuan ignored it, and continued: "The head of Huashan lost his sword manual and lost his beloved daughter. He felt grief and indignation, but it's not easy to publicize it to the outside world. We can only step up and investigate Yue Gan's whereabouts in the Mingmen. Yue Gan is clever. Shan Yan is very popular in the sect, and after his disappearance, there are fellow sects who speculate whether he has something to hide. However, this person has never returned and has never been seen."
Speaking of this, he stared at Ji Tinghui: "Originally, the matter came to this point, it was only an internal matter of Huashan faction. However, after half a year, two guardians, one Han and one Hu, came from Kunlun Mansion to Suo Zhan of Huashan faction. There was a provocation, they dismissed the Huashan swordsmanship as useless, and threatened that it could be broken in a moment. The Huashan faction was all infuriated when they heard it, and they made a move. When they fought, they realized that the opponent was very familiar with the essence of the school's swordsmanship. Take the initiative, and strike fiercely, either cut off an arm, or cut off a leg. The head of Huashan saw this situation, and he knew it. It must be that Yue Qian was sent by the Kunlun Mansion to lurk in the door and plot the sword manual , causing today's misfortune. He was so angry that he was in a state of chaos, and one arm was cut off. In this battle, the Huashan faction injured seven or eight people in a row. However, among the two people who broke into the mountain, the guardian of the Western Regions was named Jin Tuopan, who now works in the Yijin Jintie Division and ranks third. My son thinks that the hatred of Huashan in the past will be difficult to protect if it is not guarded against. It will not happen again in the future and endanger me, Yuzhou."
When he said this, everyone was moved, and Ji Tinghui's face changed, and then he calmed down again: "The Fifth Highness said just now, there are still two things that the grass people don't understand, so I want to ask for advice. Although that Yue Gan may have taken the sword manual , but he was originally a Huashan disciple, so he wasn't too overstepping the rules. And the fact that the Western Region sect won the competition, it can be said that the Huashan sect is inferior to others. Fights between sects in the martial arts are normal. What evidence can prove that it is related to the loss of the sword manual? What’s more, Caomin was involved in the swordsmanship of various schools in the Caiwen competition just now, even if he used a few moves of Huashan swordsmanship, how could His Royal Highness deduce that I am a member of Huashan sect, and imply that I am that Yuegan?” He He knew that if what Luo Pingyuan said was true, let alone gaining the appreciation of Emperor Tianyi, he might even lose his life, so he didn't dare to give in at all.Thinking about it, Luo Pingyuan was only fourteen or fifteen years old back then, even if he had guessed the clue, there was nothing to prove it without evidence.As long as you deny it, you still have a chance to get out today.
Luo Pingyuan focused on him, and said slowly: "When I was 14 years old, I went to the Huashan School with my senior brother and met Yue Gan once. At that time, you and Miss Shi Wan went to the hall to accompany the guests, and you only sat for a moment before leaving , but that’s the case? You have a natural smile, and your smile is different from others, so I remember it clearly.”
Ji Tinghui shook his head and said, "Your Highness the Fifth Highness may have admitted the wrong person. I am not Yue Gan."
Seeing that he didn't admit it, Luo Pingyuan sneered and said, "Yue Qian has a mole on his left earlobe. You don't have one, but there is a burn scar on the same part. How could it be such a coincidence?"
Everyone looked at Ji Tinghui at the same time, and saw that there was indeed a scalded circular scar on his left earlobe, which was not conspicuous, and it would be difficult to identify unless it was pointed out intentionally.
Emperor Tianyi's face darkened, and General Wu Ying's face was even more ashen.Ji Tinghui immediately knelt down, he knew that at this moment, he could no longer defend himself, but he kept saying: "My sage knows, His Highness the Fifth Highness has really admitted the wrong person, and the grassroots are wronged!" But he couldn't help looking at the prince.
King Ning bowed to Emperor Tianyi and said: "Father, Yue Qian deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors, neglected his feelings, betrayed the secrets of his sect, and harmed his fellow sects. How could he be loyal to the country even if he did such things. I beg you Father imprisoned this person for interrogation, and asked Huashan disciples to identify him and punish him."
The prince said in a low voice: "Father, the five emperors are well versed in the affairs of the Jianghu, and they are jealous of evil, but the disputes in the Jianghu have never been involved with the government. Both the Huashan School and the Kunlun Mansion are Jianghu sects. The incident happened five years ago. He came to serve, even if it proves that he is Yue Gan, I'm afraid... What I'm worried about is that people in the martial arts have many grievances, if Yue Gan is punished, others will inevitably have concerns and dare not come to serve. "
As a daughter's family, Luo Xuening was already furious when she heard Shi Wan's experience, and couldn't help but said: "Father, if he is Yue Gan, his name and origin are all fake, this is a way to deceive the king." crime!"
Emperor Tianyi was very angry in his heart, this Ji Tinghui was determined not to use it, if he was entrusted to the Jingyu Guard just now, wouldn't it be ridiculous and generous.But he thought that the prince's words were not unreasonable, so he said: "Take him into custody temporarily, and let Huashan send people to Beijing. If it is true as Ping Yuan said, he will have a forty stick and hand him over to Huashan to deal with."
Ji Tinghui was full of kung fu, but he didn't dare to use it in the Chonghua Palace. He just complained repeatedly, and was impolitely detained by the imperial guards.
Emperor Tianyi's interest was gone, but when he saw Zheng Mingyi knelt down to plead guilty, he said a few words of relief, and let his sons and daughters go away, and he himself went to the harem to rest.
After leaving the palace gate, the prince's face was gloomy like a black cloud covering the sun.It took Ji Tinghui half a year to gain the trust of General Wuying. He was recommended by the emperor. General Wuying's mansion is just in the northwest of Luocheng. Gain control of Jing Yuwei.The Huashan School has declined in recent years, and the disciples of the sect rarely come out. Although Ji Tinghui has some unclear past, but Yue Gan deliberately kept out of his face in Huashan back then, not many people in the martial arts knew him, so it doesn't matter.This matter has been planned for a long time, and it is progressing smoothly, who would have expected it to come to an end today, but he was recognized by the five princes and revealed the truth on the spot, so he couldn't help but feel annoyed.
After Ji Tinghui was detained, Luo Pingyuan thought that this person might be a member of the Kunlun Mansion, and his status might not be low.He had something on his mind, and wanted to interrogate him in prison and ask about the situation in the Kunlun Mansion, but thinking that it was not the best time, he decided not to take any action for the time being, and decided to wait until the disciples of Huashan School came to deal with it.
For several days after that, he lived quietly in Dingjianhou's mansion.A few days later, Emperor Tianyi really went to the Taimiao to worship heaven, and only appointed the prince to accompany him, Luo Pingyuan did not follow.When Lin Chen came to drag him out again, he saw that King Ning was unmoved no matter how much he described, knowing that he didn't want to make trouble, so he had to touch his nose and pass the time instead by playing chess and martial arts.
Lin Chen is proficient in bow and horse, and also has a small amount of internal strength, the two of them competed from time to time, and occasionally came to talk with a few friends, and the days passed.So soon came the third day of May.
