When Ji Tianxing saw Long Yunxiao, Long Yunxiao's face didn't look good.
He stood alone in the main hall, his face was gloomy and he was thinking, and there was a coldness between his brows.
Ji Tianxing could guess what he was thinking and knew the reason without asking.
Because, his mood was the same as Long Yunxiao's.
The two exchanged pleasantries, and after sitting down, Ji Tianxing asked directly: "Is the decision of the Imperial Court the emperor's intention?"
Long Yunxiao nodded and said expressionlessly: "Actually, this is not only the emperor's intention, but also the persuasion of the emperor's master and other ministers.
In any case, Long Zaitian is also the emperor's son, and he is the most outstanding among many princes. How could the emperor have the heart to execute him directly?
In the eyes of the emperor and those ministers, Long Zaitian was indeed a heroic talent, but it was a pity that he took the wrong path, had an extreme temperament, and would do whatever it took to achieve his goals.
The emperor treated him lightly and hoped that he would realize his mistakes after this incident and change his ways in the future."
Having said this, he paused for a moment, with a wry smile on his lips, and said: "The Emperor's Master told me before that one night, the Emperor and the Emperor's Master were discussing matters in the study.
At that time, the emperor's master mentioned Long Zaitian and me, and the emperor said with emotion that to be the king of the human race, one must not only have a benevolent heart to help the world, but also have resolute and decisive tough measures.
I am more than kind and virtuous in my dealings with others, but not strong enough. I can only govern the world in the peaceful and prosperous times, and it is difficult to make progress.
But Long Zaitian's palace is too deep, his mind is too narrow-minded, and his methods are too vicious and cruel. He may be a hero in troubled times, but after all, he is not the way of an emperor.
I and Long Zaitian are both the best princes, but the emperor is not too satisfied with us.
From the emperor's point of view, it would be best if our two personalities could be combined."
Long Yunxiao's tone was a little lonely, even a bit self-deprecating.
Ji Tianxing could guess that the emperor was probably comparing him and Long Zaitian, which made him feel a little unhappy.
But this is the emperor's family matter, and he has no right to interfere or comment.
The most important thing is that he has not reached the level and height of the emperor, nor can he understand the emperor's mentality.
He was silent for a while, and could only pat Long Yunxiao's shoulder and comfort him: "The emperor stands at the top of the continent, looking down at all living beings in the world, considering the level and starting point of things, which is different from us, and it is not something you and I can understand.
As the old saying goes, no one is perfect, even sages must be judged by their merits and demerits!
You don't need to care too much about the emperor's evaluation, just stick to your heart and be yourself.
Anyway, Long Zaitian has been ruined, and you are the biggest winner. From now on, the position of emperor of the human race must be yours, so what else do you have to worry about?"
Long Yunxiao nodded slightly and said solemnly: "Thank you, I know everything you said.
However, as long as the dragon remains in the sky, I will not be able to truly feel at ease!"
Ji Tianxing raised his eyebrows and asked with interest: "Then how are you going to deal with it next?"
Long Yunxiao said in a cold tone: "Two days later, the imperial court's halberd guards will escort Long Zaitian to leave Zhongzhou and rush to the northern desert border.
The emperor was unwilling to execute his son, so he spared Long Zai Tianwang and let him go to the border to change his mind.
But I will never let him go, I will definitely eradicate the root cause and avoid future troubles forever!
The journey from Zhongzhou to the northern desert border is long, dangerous and bumpy... I will never let him reach the border alive!"
Ji Tianxing immediately understood what he meant, guessed his next plan, nodded and said: "I have the same idea as you, even if you don't do it, I will do it."
"No need." Long Zaitian waved his hand and said: "You have already helped me too much. I will send someone to do this, so there is no need to trouble you.
After all, Long Zaitian is the son of the emperor. If you try to assassinate him, it will inevitably cause trouble and controversy, and even make the emperor displeased.
I am different, I don’t have those scruples!”
"Okay." Ji Tianxing nodded in agreement and warned in a solemn tone: "Then it's up to you to do this, but you must do it in a secretive way and don't leave any clues or future troubles."
"Yes, I understand." Long Yunxiao nodded.
After the two of them finished talking about Long Zaitian, Ji Tianxing asked again: "The case of Long Zaitian this time has so many implications, why did the Imperial Court only sentence Long Zaitian and Yu Tianhong?
Where are those other people? And where is Murong Zheng from the Murong family?"
Long Yunxiao frowned slightly and said in a low tone: "Actually, there is another edict from the Imperial Court, but it is a secret edict that is not open to the public.
There is a list in the secret edict, involving more than a hundred forces.
Those forces who have worked for Long Zaitian and done evil deeds have been punished accordingly, and the Imperial Court is already dealing with them one by one.
As for Murong Zheng... you have already wiped out the Duanmu family, one of the three most important families of the emperor.
If the emperor punishes the Murong family severely and causes the Murong family's power to plummet, the Yun family will be the only one left among the three ancient aristocratic families.
This is definitely not the result the emperor wants to see!
The demon race is facing a powerful enemy, and troubled times are coming. If the emperor wants to take care of the overall interests of the human race, he can only reduce big things to small things.
Murong Zheng was coerced by Long Zaitian and did many unforgivable things, but in the eyes of the emperor, these were not unforgivable crimes.
Therefore, the imperial court treated the Murong family lightly. They only gave Murong Zheng a verbal admonishment and confiscated many of the Murong family's properties and wealth.
After this turmoil, the Murong family's power has been weakened a lot, and they will not cause big troubles in the future. They can only hide their capabilities, bide their time, and quietly recover their strength."
Ji Tianxing frowned and asked, "Has the emperor ever mentioned the Ten Thousand Gu Altar?"
Long Yunxiao asked in a playful tone: "What? You have seen how powerful the Gu Dao artifact is. Are you afraid that the emperor is thinking about this treasure and confiscated it from you?"
"That's not true." Ji Tianxing waved his hand and said seriously: "The Altar of Ten Thousand Gus is an evil magic weapon after all. Now that it has fallen into my hands, I haven't figured out how to deal with it yet.
If I use this magic weapon to release poison on others and control them to work for me, then what is the difference between me and Long Zaitian?
But other than that, this magic weapon has no other effects and is of little use to me.
Moreover, Murong Zheng, Yu Tianhong and dozens of powerful people from wealthy families are still controlled by the poison.
Since the Imperial Court knows about this matter, it will have to be dealt with sooner or later, and it is impossible to keep them under the threat of poisonous poison."
Long Yunxiao nodded, with admiration on his face, and said: "Tian Xing, it's great that you can think so.
I wanted to remind you just now that the emperor did mention the Ten Thousand Gu Altar.
The emperor said that it was an evil thing and could not be allowed to pass on, otherwise it would harm the world and cause greater harm.
According to the emperor's intention, he wants to wait until this matter is over before dealing with the Ten Thousand Gu Altar.
Since you have already made plans, I don’t need to persuade you anymore, just wait for news from the Imperial Court."
