First emperor of the human race

Chapter 67 Li Ji's Decision

"What this person said is true. He is of royal blood. It is difficult for us to deal with it. We can only escort him to the imperial capital and wait for the emperor to deal with him."

Li Ji opened his mouth and said to Zhao Yun in a low voice: "From my point of view, according to the emperor's character, I'm afraid he won't bear the reputation of murdering his brother because of a prince who has lost power."

Zhao Yun was silent, did not speak, and he was a little hesitant.

If it is an ordinary rebel, how dare he be so rampant?
It's fine if they kill them, the emperor won't say anything at all, but the second prince has a special status.

Who knows, is the emperor still thinking about the brotherhood, maybe after escorting the second prince to the imperial capital, the emperor will not kill him because of the brotherhood?
As the second prince said, both Zhao Yun and Li Ji felt that it was more likely that the emperor would put him under house arrest.

Although the second prince's martial arts strength has been crippled by the military masters, and Li Ji's soft words cannot be heard clearly, he can still analyze the current situation through the expressions and movements of these four people.

They really have concerns.

You bet right!

The second prince breathed a sigh of relief, smiled faintly, and scolded the guards behind him: "Hurry up and untie Gu!"

The guard cavalry soldiers standing behind the second prince looked at each other, then at Li Ji and Zhao Yun.

Li Ji looked at Zhao Yun, he was the commander of the first army.

Zhao Yun was silent.

Now that the emperor is not present, is he respecting the second prince?Or continue to detain him?Everything should be decided by Zhao Yun.

But Zhao Yun couldn't figure out the emperor's mind, so he didn't dare to make a rash decision.

He is a military genius, not a political genius. He is really not very proficient in these devious ways in the royal family.

"What? In front of Gu, you belittled Gu so much and didn't let him loose? Are you going to continue to humiliate Gu! Do you want to keep making Gu kneel down! Is this what you should do as courtiers! "

The sneer on the second prince's face became thicker, he said sinisterly, "Don't be afraid, you will commit suicide alone, when you return to the emperor, it will be difficult for you to do business?"

"Lao Jiu is a very affectionate emperor. If he knows that he died alone in Linshan City, what do you think he will do?"

The second prince raised his head, narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the four people in front of him, the threat in his tone did not diminish at all.

Li Ji was shocked. In order to understand the emperor and try to figure out the emperor's heart, the ministers of the Military Aircraft Pavilion had read all the royal records and historian records about the emperor.

He knew very well that the emperor was very low-key and kind when he was the prince before he ascended the throne.

Simply looking at the historical records, it is impossible to see which prince the emperor was close to at the beginning, but there are many records about the emperor's affection.

The second prince's words are not false.

"This"

Liu Taishou and Li Jingyang's expressions became more and more ugly. The feeling of being threatened by the leader of the bandit was really uncomfortable.

Obviously they won the battle, but now they seem to be overwhelmed by the second prince?
Is it because he is the second prince?Is it because he is a son of the royal family?Is it because the blood of the royal family flows in his body?

But our allegiance is to the current emperor, not everyone in the Su family!
We are the emperor's ministers, not your second prince's ministers!

As a courtier, he tried his best to solve the emperor's worries and problems, but he still had to bow his head to a member of the royal family who oppressed and harmed them!
This uncomfortable and aggrieved feeling, as long as a man can't bear it.

Just when the whole room was silent, a loud voice sounded from the prefect's mansion.

"The emperor's decree has arrived! Hirano city battle report is here!"

The military messenger is here!
Zhao Yun got up quickly, glanced at the second prince lightly, and decided to ignore him for the time being and accept the order first.

"Tom tom tom."

Hasty footsteps sounded from outside the door, and after a while, a dusty old soldier came from outside, holding a yellow brocade in his hand.

This person is none other than the militia captain who came from Hirano City, the old Li Tou who survived the catastrophe.

Old Li didn't have time to wipe off his sweat, he raised his head and looked at the people in the hall, his voice was very dialectical: "Dare to ask, who is Zhao Yun, General Zhao?"

This is his first order!

I've lived for most of my life, and this is the first time I've done something for Dijun!

The emperor said, he must stand up, be brave, and not be cowardly!
Old Li kept taking deep breaths to calm down his excitement.

He saw a handsome white-robed general approaching, and bowed his hands very politely: "A certain family has won the favor of the emperor, and I will be the coach of the Daxia Zhenwei Cavalry, Zhao Yun."

This is the commander who commanded [-] cavalry and controlled the entire northern battlefield?

This is the commander of the first army!

How much higher than my corporal leader?

Damn, I can't count on a pair of fingers.

Old Li swallowed his saliva, bent down and smiled involuntarily: "Commander Zhao, the emperor asked me to deliver the imperial decree."

As soon as Old Li's words fell, Zhao Yun couldn't help but change his expression, he was extraordinarily serious, stepped back a few steps, and shook his robes with his hands (the robes are worn when not fighting).

"The last general, Zhao Yun, welcomes the imperial decree."

"The last general, Li Ji, welcomes the imperial decree."

"My humble minister, Liu Fan, welcome the imperial decree."

"The last general, Li Jingyang, welcomes the imperial decree."

Four solemn and respectful voices sounded.

Seeing the imperial decree is like seeing the emperor.

Zhao Yun raised his hand, rolled up his robe, and knelt down on both knees, throwing himself on the ground.

People behind Zhao Yun also knelt down and kowtowed.

"I"

Old Li was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.

For some reason, he felt his legs were weak and his thighs were trembling.

The commander of an army, the prefect of a city, the minister of the military cabinet, and a school lieutenant who has made great contributions
These four people, who are usually unattainable by him, kneel down respectfully because of an imperial decree, without the slightest hesitation.

What is Regal?

This is Regal!
Old Li knew that they were kneeling not on himself, but on the imperial decree in his hand, but Old Li was still a little nervous.

"Fengtian."

Old Li opened the imperial decree, stammered for a long time, and gave up a little dejectedly: "Commander Zhao, you should read this imperial decree by yourself. The old man stuttered a little today, and his mouth is not up to date."

Zhao Yun raised his hands respectfully, received the imperial decree, then got up and said with a smile, "It's okay, thank you for your hard work."

People who are not often exposed to imperial edicts will always feel a little scared when they encounter this thing for the first time.

"Come here, take the envoy down to have a rest, don't be negligent."

Zhao Yun gave instructions to a town guard, then opened the imperial decree and watched it with Li Ji.

In the imperial decree, some information about the battle report and the situation of Hirano City was described. Hirano City has been stabilized, the third prince has surrendered, and the fourth prince is dead.

Later, the emperor ordered Zhao Yun and Li Ji in the edict to stabilize the situation in Linshan City. After the situation is stabilized, they must quickly send troops to support the western and northern battlefields, and calm down the other two battlefields in the shortest possible time. situation.

After Zhao Yun read the imperial decree, he couldn't help sighing: "The change of Hirano City, the city was recaptured overnight, and 40 troops were wiped out in ashes. The emperor's methods are really incomparable!"

With 40 imperial guards, he directly took down [-] troops and provoked the two princes to fight each other.

This method can be called turning hands into clouds and turning hands into rain.

"Humph."

The second prince snorted coldly, with a gloomy expression on his face. He heard Zhao Yun's sigh and knew that the eastern battlefield of Hirano City had completely fallen.

The Rebellion of the Eight Kings had a total of four battlefields, and less than half a month after the emperor took action, it had completely fallen into two battlefields.

This man is much stronger than Si Jiajun.

"Ok?"

Li Ji frowned. He saw a hint of hidden meaning and hint in this seemingly simple imperial decree.

The fourth prince is dead?
Why did the emperor focus on this matter, and the military newspaper that Linshan City was completely recovered had already told the emperor, why did the emperor ask them to stabilize the situation in Linshan City?
Linshan City has been defended, and the situation on the southern battlefield has long been stabilized!
Since the emperor said so, he must have his own worries. What are the worries that the emperor can't stop thinking about?

That's only the second prince!

If the second prince survived for a day, the situation in the southern battlefield would not be completely stable.

Li Jiming realized that the emperor could not explicitly require them to kill the second prince in the imperial decree. This would be a reason for murdering brothers, which would have a great impact on the emperor's popularity and reputation, and would cause unnecessary stains.

But the second prince is someone who must be killed.

Now, on the southern battlefield, there must be someone who understands the emperor's mind and takes the initiative to stand up and take the blame for the emperor.

Just when Li Ji was enlightened, the second prince on the side scolded impatiently: "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you tie up Gu Song!"

"What was written in the imperial decree? Guess, it's probably because the emperor asked you to catch Gu and send him to the imperial capital, right?"

"Don't let go of the tie soon! Otherwise, if you don't cooperate, it will be difficult for you to do business."

The second prince's tone was full of confidence. He thought he was extremely sensitive to the situation and people's hearts, and he had always been good at it.

"This"

Zhao Yun pondered slightly, although the imperial decree did not mention the second prince, but judging from the current situation, he was not sure whether the emperor would kill the second prince.

The best way is to take him to the imperial capital and wait for the emperor to dispose of him.

"Come on, untie him."

Zhao Yun waved his hand and sighed helplessly.

"Let me do it."

Li Ji stepped forward, waved his hand, and signaled the guard to step back, and then he walked behind the second prince.

"It's almost there."

The second prince smiled contemptuously, and the Minister of the Military Machine Pavilion personally untied him, which made the second prince more sure that he had controlled the situation.

Available in the next second.

"Cheap!"

The sound of the sword being unsheathed resounded crisply, and a bright light flashed past.

"Pfft!"

The sharp weapon pierced the flesh, and the blood shot out.

The second prince's head, which still had a contemptuous and haughty expression, flew up, and there was a ray of astonishment on it that could not be shown in the future.

At the moment of his death, he couldn't figure out why Li Ji wanted to kill him.

This Li Ji, dare to kill the emperor's own brother, isn't he afraid of the emperor's wrath?
