Bai Yuxian put away the Junzi Sword and had no further plans to kill Wang Zhongsi.
Because through this battle, Bai Yuxian could confirm that Wang Zhongsi was definitely an upright and loyal man, not someone like Prince Li Heng.
What happened this time was obviously plotted by Prince Li Heng. Wang Zhongsi came to the capital this time obviously for the sake of loyalty. He felt that he and Li Linfu secretly colluded to bring trouble to the Tang Dynasty, so he came to the capital this time to clear the emperor. As a result But unexpectedly, he was plotted by Li Heng.
And judging from the performance of the battle just now, Wang Zhongsi is definitely an upright person.
Although they have different positions as enemies, Bai Yuxian still has a good impression of people like Wang Zhongsi.
And if he directly kills Wang Zhongsi now, there will be a huge hidden danger.
That is, once Bai Yuxian kills Wang Zhongsi, Bai Yuxian will become the only strong martial artist in the Tang Dynasty, and there will be no check and balance.
This is definitely a dangerous thing for the ministers, because it can easily make the emperor jealous.
Just imagine, as the emperor, there is an extremely powerful minister among your subordinates and there is no one who can check and balance him. Would you be worried?
Maybe Li Longji trusts him now, but it will take time.
Any emperor who knows a little bit about power knows that no matter how much he trusts his ministers, he must pay attention to the balance to avoid creating a situation where the emperor is weak and the ministers are strong.
If Bai Yuxian kills Wang Zhongsi now, he will soon be in an extremely unfavorable situation. Over time, he will inevitably be suspected by Li Longji.
On the other hand, if Bai Yuxian keeps Wang Zhongsi, Wang Zhongsi, who is obviously a strong man at the same level of martial arts and supernatural powers as him, will definitely be able to help him share part of the attention and pressure of the divine power level, thus leaving behind a person who can barely A check on his enemies.
Even because Wang Zhongsi had rebelled with Li Heng this time, Li Longji must be much more suspicious of Wang Zhongsi than Bai Yuxian.
In this case, as long as Wang Zhongsi is alive, Li Longji will definitely not let Bai Yuxian get into trouble, because Li Longji still needs Bai Yuxian to suppress Wang Zhongsi.
What's more, even if Wang Zhongsi is alive, with his current strength, it will be easy to suppress Wang Zhongsi, and it is almost impossible to pose any threat.
So many factors are combined.
Next, Bai Yuxian not only cannot kill Wang Zhongsi, but also wants to find a way to protect Wang Zhongsi and let Wang Zhongsi survive, because as long as Wang Zhongsi is alive, then Li Longji will not only not be suspicious of him, but also rely on him more, which is very important to him. It will also be more beneficial.
Wang Zhongsi was stunned when he heard this.
He couldn't help but opened his eyes and looked at Bai Yuxian in shock. He never expected that Bai Yuxian didn't intend to kill him.
Originally, he thought that he would definitely die if he was defeated this time. As an enemy, Bai Yuxian would definitely not let such a powerful enemy like him live.
Bai Yuxian didn't say anything more, just said.
"General Wang, it's better to go down and apologize to His Majesty and wait for His Majesty's punishment."
Wang Zhongsi was silent for a moment, and finally bowed his hand to Bai Yuxian.
"Thank you."
After that, he flew downwards and knelt down in front of Li Longji and worshiped.
"The guilty minister, Wang Zhongsi, please your Majesty to punish him."
Bai Yuxian also flew down from the sky and bowed to Li Longji.
"His Majesty."
"Okay, okay, I am so lucky to have the Jade Immortal."
Looking at Bai Yuxian flying down in front of him, Li Longji looked excited.
He was really moved by Bai Yuxian today, because just now when Wang Zhongsi broke through the martial arts realm and Li Heng raised his troops, he was really frightened. He felt that he was probably finished, but he didn't expect Bai Yuxian at this time. Xian suddenly stood up.
Turn the tide before it falls, and support the building before it collapses.
"Your Majesty has given you too much praise. Without Your Majesty's support, how could the Jade Immortal be here today? It is my duty to protect Your Majesty and serve Your Majesty."
"Report your favor on the golden stage, support the Jade Dragon and die for you!"
When Bai Yuxian heard this, he solemnly raised his hands to Li Longji again.
Li Longji was filled with emotion when he heard this, and almost felt like tears filled his eyes.
If a minister is like this, what can I ask for from you?
"Okay, okay, I have felt the loyalty of Jade Immortal. As long as I reign for one day in this life, I will definitely live up to Jade Immortal."
Li Longji said with some excitement. After speaking, he looked at Wang Zhongsi who was kneeling in front of him. His originally excited and joyful face suddenly became gloomy.
If today's Bai Yuxian made him moved and surprised, then Wang Zhongsi made him angry and disappointed.
As an adopted son who was raised since childhood.
Li Longji undoubtedly trusted Wang Zhongsi extremely highly, otherwise it would not have been possible for Wang Zhongsi to concurrently serve as the Jiedushi of the three towns of Hexi, Hedong, and Shuofang and hold such a heavy army.
If it were not for his trust in Wang Zhongsi, Li Longji would not be lenient when Huangfu Weiming rebelled against Wang Zhongsi and interceded for the prince three years ago.
But what Wang Zhongsi did today undoubtedly disappointed Li Longji extremely.
"Tadasi, you disappoint me so much."
Li Longji looked at Wang Zhongsi with great disappointment.
Hearing the disappointment in Li Longji's tone, Wang Zhongsi felt a little uncomfortable. He naturally respected Li Longji extremely.
When he entered the capital this time, he never thought about forcing Li Longji to abdicate. His real idea was to Qingjun, but he did not expect that Li Heng, whom he had always trusted and regarded as his brother, had plotted against him.
"It is the loyal heir who has betrayed His Majesty's trust, and I am willing to rely on Your Majesty to live and die."
Seeing this, Bai Yuxian opened his mouth to plead with Li Longji for Wang Zhongsi.
"Your Majesty, General Wang is an outstanding person of his generation. Although he made a big mistake this time, General Wang of Yuxianguan should have had no intention of rebellion at the beginning, nor did he collude with the prince to support the prince on the throne, but really wanted to clear the emperor."
"In my opinion, General Wang must have been tricked by the Crown Prince this time. In this case, we might as well give General Wang a lighter sentence and spare General Wang's life, so that General Wang can continue to guard the border and perform meritorious service."
When everyone present heard this, they couldn't help but look at Bai Yuxian in shock and surprise.
Especially Wang Zhongsi.
He never expected that Bai Yuxian had just spared his life before, but now she would actually plead for him.
Even Li Longji never expected it and couldn't help but look at Bai Yuxian in surprise.
"Yu Xian wants to plead for him?"
Bai Yuxian cupped her hands towards Li Longji.
"Your Majesty, a thousand armies are easy to come by, but a general is hard to find. General Wang is a generation of outstanding people, and now he has successfully broken through to the realm of martial arts and magical powers. It would be a pity to be executed like this. Moreover, looking at this matter, General Wang is obviously also being The prince calculated that if this is the case, why don't your majesty give General Wang a chance? This will demonstrate your majesty's benevolence and preserve a rare talent for our Tang Dynasty."
"Yu Xian thought it might as well be like this for now. General Wang is temporarily detained until the situation is found out. If General Wang really colluded with the prince from the beginning when the prince raised an army, then his crime would be unpardonable and he would be executed directly to set an example. But if the prince If the general is also being used for scheming, then we might as well take advantage of General Wang’s past achievements and give General Wang a chance to redeem himself and make meritorious deeds.”
Wang Zhongsi cannot die.
Otherwise, if Wang Zhongsi dies, how will Bai Yuxian behave in the court in the future? With the strength he has shown now, if no one can check and balance him, it will simply force Li Longji to be suspicious of him.
Li Longji didn't know the specific thoughts in Bai Yuxian's mind.
However, he couldn't help but think deeply about Bai Yuxian's proposal, and he felt something moved in his heart.
Because it is true as Bai Yuxian said, if Wang Zhongsi was killed directly due to his current strength in martial arts, Li Longji would indeed feel a pity in his heart, and his feelings and trust in Wang Zhongsi have always been good.
Finally, after some thinking, Li Longji decided to agree to Bai Yuxian's proposal and looked at Wang Zhongsi.
"Okay, since Jade Immortal begs for mercy, then I will give you this opportunity."
"Come here, please take Wang Zhongsi into custody. We will wait until the matter is investigated clearly before making any decision."
"promise."
Several guards came up immediately.
Wang Zhongsi did not resist, and stood up and let the guards escort him. However, before leaving, he solemnly saluted Li Longji and Bai Yuxian.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, General Bai."
Li Longji paid no more attention to Wang Zhongsi.
Although Bai Yuxian temporarily decided to spare Wang Zhongsi's life because of Bai Yuxian's plea.
But even if Wang Zhongsi survives next, his status and trust in Li Longji's heart will undoubtedly plummet.
At this time, Li Longji finally looked at Li Heng at the steps below.
"Father, please forgive me, Father."
"My son is obsessed with things for a moment. Please have mercy on me, father. Have mercy on me, father."
At this time, Li Heng's face was already pale with fear, and he still didn't know that the situation was over.
Seeing Li Longji look over, he quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.
But this time, Li Longji would not spare Li Heng.
Three years ago, Huangfu Weiming had spared Li Heng once when he mutinied against Li Longji, and that time it was because it was Huangfu Weiming who mutinied, not Li Heng.
But this time, Li Hengdu led his troops directly into the palace to force him to abdicate.
How could Li Longji be so merciful again?
"Come here, arrest this traitor and all these thieves."
"Also, who are the people following the prince this time? Find them all and arrest them. When the time comes, I will kill them all."
"I want all thieves to die!"
"promise."
