Chapter 24 The End of the Qian Family
The next morning, when the sky was dim, most people were still sleeping on their couches, but in the palace hall it was already full of energy, with an especially lively scene.
In the court, everyone was talking and talking. On the golden dragon chaise, a middle-aged man in a yellow robe sat high. His temples were gray and his face looked a little haggard. A faint aura of the superior came from him. Even if he didn't move at all, this feeling could be felt clearly.
"The emperor, the daughter of the West Sea of Yongle, Hou Qian, bets with the health beads given by the emperor as a bet. Such acts of contempt for imperial power should be severely punished." A man who was dark-skinned and obviously experienced the battle on the battlefield said with a righteous heart. This person was General Lei Lei who appeared in the Luo family during Luo Hao's expedition.
After Lei Li spoke, someone agreed that his voice was slightly lower than Lei Li, but the meaning in his words was the same as that, and he also demanded severe punishment for Yongle Hou. Judging from the formation, he could know that these people were all from Lei Li.
However, everyone knows that the backstage of Yonglehou is Duke Ding. The one who stands against Lei Li is Duke Ding Wu Xin. There are dozens of ministers and officials standing behind Wu Xin. At this time, these people are silent and look at Wu Xin, as if waiting for Wu Xin to speak.
Wu Xin glanced at the Yongle Hou who was among the two gangs, lamented, and said, "The emperor thought twice. Although the daughter of Yongle Hou's actions were ridiculous, she had absolutely no intention of despising the imperial power. I hope that the emperor could see the contributions of Yongle Hou's past, and to make a lighter move."
"Yes, my elders, I know that my daughter's actions are a crime, but I hope that the emperor will give up lightly for the sake of the past merits." As soon as Wu Xin finished speaking, Yongle Hou Qian Xihai couldn't wait to beg for mercy. At this time, he knelt on the ground with his legs and kept kowtowing. After a few sounds, a blood-red color appeared on his forehead.
"The emperor cannot, he despises the imperial power. This is related to the dignity of the royal family and must not be spared lightly. Otherwise, where is the face of the royal family and how can the imperial family be majestic?" The court seemed particularly lively under the quarrel.
However, after the quarrel lasted for a while, it was stopped by a loud scolding.
"Stop quarreling. What kind of quarrels like this in the court will be? If it is spread to other countries, wouldn't it become a laughing stock!"
The emperor, who had been silent, was also furious at this time and shouted at the ministers who were quarreling below, and the quarrel stopped immediately. The hall, which was so noisy before, was silent at this time.
The ministers did not dare to look directly at the emperor's gaze, and they all lowered their heads, staring at the emperor's expression with only the light from the corner of their eyes, even the Duke of Ding and General Lei.
"I have a decision on this matter, so you don't need to argue anymore."
After hearing the emperor's words, the kneeling Marquis Yongle, who was shaking, suddenly shivering, and cold sweat fell from his forehead. The official uniform on his body was already wet, but he still did not dare to make any moves. He lowered his head quietly and waited nervously for the emperor to read out the fate of the Yongle Hou family.
"Qian Xihai, your daughter takes the health beads given by me as a bet. Such acts of despising the imperial power are unforgivable. According to the law, your Qian family should be punished with nine clans."
"Your Majesty, please spare me, yourselves!!!" As soon as the three words of killing the nine clans came out, Qian Xihai's whole body suddenly softened, and he didn't care about anything else. He shouted for forgiveness and kept knocking on the ground. The sound of scandium sounded in the court.
"However, I am not a ruthless person. When I think of your military achievements, I will let you go and spare the lives of the nine tribes of the Qian family." The emperor changed his voice and said as Qian Xihai shouted. When he said these words, the expression on his face changed meaninglessly, like a piece of wood.
Hearing this, Qian Xihai's limp body suddenly stood up, shouting "Thank you, Master!!" while increasing his strength to continue to kowtow.
"But the crime of death can be avoided, and the crime of living cannot be escaped. If the crime of contempt for the imperial power is not punished, then the royal family will not be in the face. Therefore, all the people in your family will be demoted to common people and sent to the border areas, and will never be allowed to enter the capital."
From the emperor's words, it can be seen that this person is definitely not a foolish monarch. His actions were to severely punish the Marquis of Yongle and show the great grace of the emperor, which made people have nothing to say.
"The emperor is wise!!"
After the emperor finished all this, everyone in the court, whether it was the civil servants of Duke Ding or the military generals of General Lei, bent down.
Although the life of Yongle Hou was saved, there was no place to turn over. It was ridiculous that the dignified Yongle Hou was defeated by his daughter so much, but all of this was truly in front of everyone.
Even in the court, there was no wall without wind. The news of Yongle Hou being punished was immediately heard in Luo Tian's ears.
At this time, within the Luo family, Luo Tian was supporting his head with one hand, looking out of the house with thoughtful look.
He had expected the fate of Yongle Hou yesterday. Even if Duke Ding pleads for him, there would be no big change. This ending was within his expectations. He extended his poisonous claws to an enemy of the Luo family in his previous life, and he was ridiculously destroyed. Luo Tian also felt quite funny in his heart.
But he was troubled by a difficult problem at this time. Now he is in the stage where he can improve his strength by absorbing spiritual energy. The biggest difference between the body refining level and the golden elixir level is that people at the golden elixir level must practice a skill to achieve great success in order to condense golden elixirs in their body and step into the golden elixir level. This period of practicing the exercises is the stage of body refining.
Before the body refining level, all cultivation lays the foundation for one's own body. The vast spiritual energy entering the body can suddenly refine the body of the cultivator and become particularly strong, laying the foundation for entering a higher realm. At this time, Luo Tian was troubled by this problem.
Faced with this problem, Luo Tian also asked Qi Liang for advice, but Qi Liang said that practicing martial arts is no more than other things. A good martial art can help him avoid many twists. Even if he encounters a better martial art in the future and needs to be replaced, it will have considerable benefits.
Luo Tian’s father Luo Hao’s cultivation is above Qi Liang. The skills he practiced were also inherited by the Luo family’s ancestors, and it must be much better than Qi Liang’s. Therefore, Qi Liang was not prepared to let Luo Tian practice his skills, but asked him to ask Luo Hao.
After thinking for a while, Luo Tian took out a pen and ink from the inner room, wrote a book like flowing clouds and water, and then packed it with a yellowed letter.
Of course, what he wrote in this letter was not just asking his father for his martial arts, but also reporting the situation of the Luo family at this time. Even if you contact the Marquis of Confidence and prepare to confront Duke Ding, it was not concealed. Although his father was in a distant place, Luo Tian still informed him of such a major event.
Putting away his pen and ink, Luo Tian strode out of the house. The autumn wind that was facing him came to him.
"Xiaogui, put down what you have at hand and send this letter to the station first." Luo Tian waved to a servant who was cleaning the courtyard and said.
"Yes, Master."
When he heard Luo Tian’s assignment, the servant put down his work, took the letter, and hurriedly walked out the gate.
Luo Tian also paused at the door for a moment, stepped out of the door, and his figure gradually disappeared around the Luo family...
