When the morning light shines on all things in the world and baptizes a new day, the entire scene of Kyoto is completely new. A night of bloody battles did not leave any traces on the streets of Kyoto. The bones of tens of thousands of people outside the imperial city have been reduced to ashes in the flames reaching the sky.
The air in the palace was filled with rich red sandalwood incense. On the night banquet square, the maids and eunuchs walked around every corner holding incense burners. The blood stains on the ground were washed away and the incense was burned over and over again.
The Royal Guards patrolled various parts of the palace in batches. Everything was the same as before, as if the bloody battle last night had not happened.
If it weren't for the fact that groups of officials were being detained in prison cars and rushed to the execution ground, attracting the attention of the people all over the city, I'm afraid that even the people would have mistakenly thought that the battle last night was just a sudden nightmare.
"Look, the rebellious fourth prince was arrested?"
A commoner pointed to the prison car at the front of the prison car and exclaimed.
"Last night, there was a massacre in the city. The emperor captured the four princes, the judges who had colluded with others and kidnapped them. These officials behind them were all treasonous ministers and members of the four princes' gangs."
"Exterminate the rebellious ministers, kill the rebellious ministers and traitors, the emperor is wise, and the country has the Tianchen Emperor, the dynasty will unify the world."
A loud voice suddenly rang out from the crowd. As soon as the voice fell, the people shouted loudly, "The state has Emperor Tianchen, and the dynasty will rule the world and rule the world."
The voices of the people all over the city were as loud as a dragon's roar, soaring into the sky, deafening. The loud and high-pitched sound lasted for nearly half an hour, and even the palace could hear it clearly.
At this time, a group of foreigners from outside the imperial city came towards the imperial city on horseback, and the scene from Kyoto could be heard ten miles away.
"His Royal Highness, listen..." A knight who was scouting the road stopped when he heard the sound and said to the people in the carriage: "The fifth prince and the sixth princess may have encountered something unexpected."
The people in the carriage were silent for a while, then sighed quietly and said, "Let's go!"
"Yes." The knight responded, riding his horse to explore the way in front of the team.
"You haven't found him yet?" Long Chen also stood up, greeted Mu Tianxue who walked into the imperial study, and asked, "Yu Mian doesn't know where he is, either?"
"I don't know either." Yumian followed Mu Tianxue into the imperial study, took out a letter and handed it to Long Chenyi, saying in a deep voice: "Second brother only left a letter for you."
Long Chenyi frowned slightly and took the letter handed to him. He opened it and saw that there was only one simple sentence in the letter, "Love her with your whole life. Whatever you want, I will do what you want."
"What did Sima Heng say? Where did he go?" Seeing Long Chenyi's slightly changed expression, Mu Tianxue couldn't help but frown and snatched the letter from Long Chenyi's hand. When she saw the content of the letter, she felt
Tightening, I felt a faint heartache, "As you wish? What do you mean? What did you and him do behind my back?"
"If I say that I haven't done anything, will you believe it?" Long Chen also stretched out his hand to hold Mu Tianxue in his arms, dropped a kiss on her forehead, and said, "You should know that he always comes and goes without a trace.
Without a trace, leaving is a good choice."
"But I have an ominous premonition." Mu Tianxue frowned. Ever since Sima Heng left with her son in his arms, passed on martial arts to his son without telling her, and disappeared with the blood python, she has felt an ominous feeling.
It gets stronger and stronger, and I always feel that something is about to happen.
She had never felt this way when Sima Heng left in the past, but this time, she had an ominous feeling that if he left, he would never come back.
She didn't understand why Sima Heng wanted to pass on his martial arts to his son. You know, if he lost his martial arts, Sima Heng would be like a useless person. People who practice martial arts usually only pass their martial arts to others under certain circumstances.
, that is when he is about to die...
"Don't think too much, I will send more people to look for him." Long Chen also held Mu Tianxue's shoulders with both hands and looked at her worried face, "Although he has no martial arts skills now, there is a blood python by his side.
, even if you encounter danger, there will always be a blood python."
"No, in the past, I had a spiritual connection with the blood python, and I could sense his condition through the blood python. But now, I can't sense anything." Mu Tianxue took a deep breath. If I could summon the blood python,
She won't be so uneasy when she comes back.
But since Sima Heng left, she has been summoning the blood python, but she has been unable to summon the blood python back, let alone where the blood python and Sima Heng are.
"I think the second brother must have placed a sensory barrier on the blood python." Yumian frowned, and said to Long Chen: "The second brother has left, and it's time for me to leave too. I would like to express my gratitude to the emperor here.
The queen bids farewell."
After saying this, Jade Face turned around and was about to leave, when he saw Murong Xuan, Qin Hongsu, Nangong Wei and the martial arts knights who were defending the enemy this time, walking towards the imperial study.
"Yu, if I haven't guessed, you also have a letter in your hand." Looking at Sima Yu's leaving figure, Long Chen also called him, "Stay."
Sima Yu paused, his hands in his sleeves trembling slightly. A letter had been crumpled into a ball by him. His eyes were already red and sparkling with tears. After a while, he looked up at the sky and said, "Thank you for staying, but there is one thing."
Personally, you need me more."
After saying that, Yumian gritted his teeth to hold back the tears in his eyes, clutched the letter in his hand tightly, and walked away. "Second brother, I'm sorry, I won't listen to you this time. There is nothing more important than blood relatives..."
…
Seeing Yu Mian leaving, Murong Xuan frowned and looked at Long Chenyi, "Yu Mian..."
"Let him go." Long Chen also withdrew his gaze and said to Haiqi: "Get him a horse."
Haiqi retreated in response, and Nangong Wei and others who came also knelt down to pay homage, "Common people, please see the emperor and the queen. Long live the emperor, and the queen is a thousand years old."
"This time the rebellion was put down, all the heads and heroes have contributed indispensably. I will definitely reward you heavily." Long Chen also let go of Mu Tianxue, looked at the people kneeling on the ground, and then raised his hand to Haiqi, "Declared the decree
."
Haiqi responded and immediately handed over the imperial edict, "By the fate of heaven, the emperor summons you, you have made great contributions in pacifying the rebellious officials, and you are specially awarded..."
In accordance with the imperial edict, Haiqi summoned and announced one by one that all those who put down the rebellious officials this time would be rewarded, but only a few people would be granted official titles.
After the imperial edict was announced, everyone immediately kowtowed and thanked you, "Thank you for your grace, my emperor. Long live the emperor."
"Let's all get back together." Long Chen also said in a calm but majestic voice.
Everyone stood up, their faces all filled with joy. Only one person had a solemn expression, that person was Murong Xuan, "Your Majesty..."
"Murong Xuan, do you want to resist the decree?" Before Murong Xuan could finish speaking, Long Chen had already interrupted Murong Xuan, "Don't let me down."
Murong Xuan's handsome face was tense, and he even rolled his eyes at Long Chen. He was very unhappy that Long Chen was using his power to suppress others, and he gritted his teeth bitterly, "My lord, I accept the order and thank you for your kindness."
After saying that, he took the imperial edict from Haiqi and scolded Long Chenyi a thousand times in his heart. He didn't keep his word. He was such a villain. What kind of brother was this? He pushed him into the fire pit again and again.
, knowing clearly that what he wanted was not to be promoted to an official or a title, and he had clearly agreed to let him go free after settling the matter. Now, he is tied to the imperial court, which is abominable.
"I will thank you for your support. I will do anything for you without hesitation." The person who spoke was Yun Jin from the Tianshan Sect and several juniors. This time the city gate defended the enemy. Several people had made great contributions, but they were all killed.
He was named the city guard general.
"Your Majesty, Prince He Yunfeng of Beiteng is asking for an audience." At this time, the leader of the royal forest army came to inform the emperor.
"Prince Beiteng came here alone, which is quite sincere." Mu Tianxue looked at the figure walking away in front of the palace gate, walked up to Murong Xuan who was gritting his teeth, and whispered: "Congratulations, Prime Minister Murong."
