As the Prime Minister of the country, Jiang Rumo was the last buffer between the emperor and the officials.
Because the emperor's words are golden, there is no room for change once he opens his mouth.
But Liu Yingqi did not explain to Jiang Rumo, and only asked for the Holy Inspection one by one. This was the same as Tian Xili's bayonet, and he only asked for life and death.
Jiang Rumo couldn't say anything more.
At this time, Tian Xili remained silent.
No accusations, no retorts, no pleas, nothing. A resigned silence.
This is a smart choice.
Liu Yingqi's request for death was of course a one-step killing, but he also had the intention of threatening the emperor with death. Liu Yingqi had nothing left and could not care about anything else, as long as he and Tian Xili died together.
And he just wanted to perform differently.
Compared to the current Liu Yingqi, he does have fear. He has a gorgeous house, beautiful clothes, great power, and almost everything. How can he not be afraid of death?
Then he made his fear more clear.
People who understand fear are more respectful and obedient.
He used his own "submissiveness" to highlight Liu Yingqi's "rebellion".
Therefore, under the power of God, he remained silent and used his actions to interpret the sentence, "I beg for your Majesty's guidance."
He was also kneeling there, waiting for the Holy Judgment.
He is the one who truly kills and punishes at will!
His previous rash attack had indeed despised Liu Yingqi, his wisdom, and his courage.
Now the opponent seizes the opportunity to directly confront the general and seek death. He couldn't break this ruthless move.
But on the chessboard of Qi State, Liu Yingqi and he were fighting not just themselves. There is a will above all else.
So he simply let go of everything and let Emperor Qi handle it.
He didn't believe that a great hero like Emperor Qi would allow his decision to be influenced by others, even if he was forced to die, after all, there was a word of "force"!
To take a step back, even if Emperor Qi really sent him and Liu Yingqi to death together, his respectful death would have completely different meanings from Liu Yingqi's coercive death.
This is the best choice for the Tian family!
Emperor Qi must remember Tian Xili’s loyalty and obedience! Only in this way can we not lose people's hearts.
Everyone is waiting for the emperor's decision.
The matter involves a hereditary marquis and a hereditary uncle, two famous families in Qi. No one can make the decision for the emperor.
The chancellor of the country cannot do this, and the queen, prince, and princes and daughters cannot do it.
The emperor did not remain silent for long.
His voice seemed to fall from the sky, and it was extremely majestic: "Qingyangzi!"
Jiang Wang, who was silently watching this fight between famous families, was stunned for a moment.
who I am? What am I doing? What do you want me to do?
But he was still confused, but he reacted very quickly, bowed his hands and said, "I'm here!"
"I order you to leave for Daze County immediately and bring Liu Xiao back."
Emperor Qi's voice showed no emotion: "Do you dare to go?"
With the internal cultivation level, it naturally requires some courage to lock up a strong Shenlin, and a Shenlin strongman who has already made up his mind and actually ignored Qi Lu.
Because now Liu Xiao probably doesn’t care at all that you are Qingyangzi or some third-grade golden melon warrior!
But Jiang Wang showed no fear on his face, not even a hint of hesitation.
"With His Majesty's divine power, why would I not dare to imprison you for one crime?"
He only bowed once and without saying a word, he stood up from the ground in front of the Ancestral Temple, smashed the Qingyun mark, and went straight to Daze County!
"Well done!" Zhong Xuansheng cheered in his heart.
In his opinion, there was no risk at all in this trip. Regardless of whether Liu Xiaosha killed Tian Anping or not, his loyalty to the Fufeng Liu family was unquestionable. The emperor sent people to capture him. If he dared to resist, he would risk the safety of the entire Fufeng Liu family.
It is difficult for people not to hesitate before a possible life or death crisis. As the protagonist of today's ceremony, Jiang Wang's performance at this moment demonstrated his courage and loyalty, which was very eye-catching.
As for Jiang Wang, in fact he only asked himself one question——
Emperor Qi personally ordered it, is there any possibility for me to refuse?
The answer is obviously clear. So he took the order and left without hesitation.
As for the various pros and cons, you can think about it slowly on the road.
Jiang Wang looked at the Emperor Daqi who was sitting on the dragon throne and was far away from him, and then he said slowly: "Uncle Xuanhuai, Marquis of Gaochang, please get up first."
Liu Yingqi begged the emperor to die, but the emperor avoided talking and only asked Liu Xiao to be locked up. This was his attitude in itself.
First of all, the treatment of Liu Xiao depends on the final result, whether Tian Anping dies or not.
Secondly, the purpose of sending Jiang to look was to let Liu Yingqi and Tian Xili see clearly.
When it comes to geniuses, Qi has many. There is a No. 1 in the world right in front of him. He is the leader who has returned from competing with the top geniuses from all over the world at Guanhe Terrace.
So don't think it's great that Liu Shentong died, and don't think it's important that Tian Anping is still in the family.
You have to weigh it yourself!
"My lord, thank God!" After escaping the disaster, Tian Xili kowtowed and stood up.
Although Liu Yingqi's tears were still wet and there was blood on his deliberately unprotected forehead, he could no longer kneel.
He even swallowed: "Thank you, my lord!"
The emperor's punishment cannot be ignored.
The emperor's favor cannot be ignored!
The two lords stood on the high platform one behind the other, while the other noble ministers stayed as far away as if they were avoiding the plague.
The Emperor of Da Qi's voice fell again: "Officer, what kind of crime should I be punished for disobeying the rules in front of the palace?"
The official presiding over the main hall bowed and said: "Your Majesty, there are countless crimes. If the emperor does not forgive him, he may be beaten, demoted, or given a title, or dead!"
Emperor Qi said: "The ancestors of Gaochanghou and Xuanhuaibo have made great contributions to the country, and I always think of them. Although they have violated their etiquette today, I will forgive their death. However, the crime must not go unpunished, and they should be flogged fifty times to serve as a warning to others!"
The emperor looked at Cao Jie and said, "General Cao, thank you."
Cao Du bowed politely: "I accept your order!"
Then he raised his hands directly to Tian Xili and Liu Yingqi: "Please."
The emperor's questions are famous.
What he said was "disrespect in front of the palace", not "disrespect in the grand ceremony and disbelief in the Imperial Ancestral Temple" as Liu Yingqi said when he begged for death.
Because the Imperial Ancestral Temple violated the etiquette, it offended the previous emperors.
In terms of etiquette and law, the emperor cannot forgive the sins of previous emperors!
The emperor wanted to punish Liu Yingqi and Tian Xili without killing them, so he asked this question.
The courtesy officer obviously understood the king's heart.
Without saying a word, Tian Xili walked down the platform and walked to the square. He took off his coat, unbuttoned his undershirt, and stood naked to the waist in front of the civil and military officials and the people watching the ceremony, and then knelt down.
This is undoubtedly a huge shame.
Thinking about his status, he had to be tortured naked in front of so many people whose status was far inferior to him.
But maybe this was the best result, so he accepted it silently, just like before.
Liu Yingqi's actions were exactly the same, but his expression was even sadder.
Cao Ji strode to the high platform and stretched out his hand.
Naturally, someone offered a whip soaked in water.
This whip is a punishment whip, dipped in water.
This whip holds it like a needle, this water touches it like a needle pricks it.
He raised his hand, and the whip exploded three times in the air, which meant that heaven and earth witnessed it together, and the dharma and beasts heard it together.
Then the whip fell——
Snapped!
Tian Xili, who had a divine level of cultivation, and Liu Yingqi, who had a peak level of cultivation in Wailou, were all knocked to the ground by this whip! His face was extremely distorted, so he didn't cry out in pain.
They also gritted their teeth and held onto the ground to straighten themselves up.
In front of the solemn Ancestral Temple, in the huge square, only the sound of whips echoed one after another.
The two noble lords kept falling down and struggling to get up.
In this situation, the feuding pair finally reached a sad agreement.
