Chitose words

Chapter 428 Grace
Xie Zhao almost laughed when she heard this, and she really did.

She shook her head slightly and said with a faint smile: "Your Majesty, it is not urgent for me to express my position at the moment.

Before the Northern Dynasties came to attack us, we fought to the death among ourselves, which would be ridiculous. "

Xie Zhao's eyes were as deep as water, as calm as water, and he looked at the young Ninth Five Supreme Being without any hesitation.

"As for my position, Your Majesty does not need to test it. My heart is stable in the country, my subjects live in peace, and my mountains and rivers are peaceful.

As for other things, it doesn't matter whether it's the title of the princess, the authority of the temple, or the prosperous and gentle town of Kyoto. "

At this point, the high priest of Nanxu suddenly made another stab at the side with a cold smile.

"The goddess has said this, and your majesty must be aware of her intentions.

Over the years, the Shentai Palace has never restricted the words, deeds, or whereabouts of the goddess.

Presumably, His Majesty's love and care for his sister-in-law should be no less than the respect the Shentai Palace has for the goddess. She should and will not be told how to behave or where to live. "

With a cold smile on his face, he said slowly:

"As for the safety of Zhaoge City, please rest assured, Your Majesty. With a goddess sitting in the Shentai Palace, the Shentai Palace will stand erect on the rivers and lakes. Naturally, it will not sit back and watch the peerless masters of other countries run wild next to their 'beds'."

Nanxu's tone was accented, focusing on the words "the goddess sits in charge", and the meaning was not expressed in words.

There was a hint of cold arrogance in his eyes, which was probably a warning to the emperor: Do not detain the goddess of Shentai Palace into the city that never sleeps and destroy your own future. Shentai Palace is determined not to agree!

If we want peace in Zhaoge and peace in Tianchen, then the goddesses in Shentai Palace should be free and noble.

Fu Jingyan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he slowly focused his gaze on Nanxu, but there was a cold look in his eyes.

Although the emperor was young, he was very powerful. Even in front of Nanxu, a peerless master of the Immortal Mysterious Realm, he never showed any timidity.

“To protect the survival of the Tianchen Dynasty and to obey the orders and be loyal to Emperor Tianchen is the ancestral motto passed down from generation to generation of Shentai Palace, and it is also the mission of the high priests of Shentai Palace in all generations.

The high priest of Nanxu now vaguely uses this as an excuse to coerce the king, which really makes me heartbroken.

As everyone knows, even though the high priest Feng Zhi was like a celestial being at that time, when he was alive in front of the late emperor, he also strictly abided by the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers.

The high priest of Nanxu, the master knows what can be done and what can be said.

I hope that the high priest will also be careful in his words and deeds, and will not do anything that will bring shame and shame to the master. "

Nanxu looked back at the Emperor coldly, and said calmly and proudly:
"The ancestors of the Shentai Palace Master were following His Majesty the Great Ancestor, who was a hero in the world and the common ruler of the world.

During the previous dynasty, although His Majesty Gaozu was just a vassal king with a different surname, he was already a young talent and martial arts talent known throughout the world.

His Majesty Jiuyi and the High Priest Hanjiang have known each other since they were young, and they have known each other since they were Mo Ni, and they were even close friends.

Later, Emperor Gaozu received great help from the high priest Hanjiang to conquer the Central Plains. He also believed in him and treated the ancestor Hanjiang high priest like a brother and sister.

Even when Emperor Gaozu later came to rule the world and interacted with his brothers, he never looked down upon or humiliated Patriarch Hanjiang with his imperial dignity. "

Having said this, Nanxu chuckled indifferently and said with a hint:

"I have rarely seen outsiders in this high-pitched temple for a long time. It is rare to go down the mountain to see people in recent days. It is inevitable that I talk too much. Please forgive me.

However, since His Majesty mentioned the ancestor, Nanxu inevitably recalled the past and remembered the beautiful legend of "sharing the world" between His Majesty the Great Ancestor and the Grand Priest Hanjiang.

Your Majesty is the True Dragon Emperor and carries the legacy of the ancestors of the Fu family. I and the goddess are also pleased. "

Even though his words were soothing and cold, they were still very bossy.

Just say it plainly: You, the emperor, are just a child with a weak mouth. You are born with no talent for martial arts, and your majesty and strategy are far inferior to those of our great ancestor.

In this case, how can you compare yourself to Tianchen, the founding emperor, who ordered the head of the Shentai Palace to obey you?
The few important ministers still left in the palace looked at each other with wry smiles in their hearts.

This... why is this happening again?
The high priest of Nanxu, who had not seen foreigners for a long time and had taken refuge in the Shentai Palace, unexpectedly descended to Zhaoge City today to attend His Majesty's Thousand Saints Birthday Banquet. This should have been a grand scene of universal celebration and joy. .

Who knew that these two noble men, who had not seen each other for eight hundred years, seemed to be at odds with each other for some reason, and they were always at odds with each other, making people feel like they were on pins and needles!
It is hard to imagine that a young and mature emperor like Emperor Jing of the Qing Dynasty, and a worldly immortal like the high priest of Nanxu with a clear breeze and bright moon, could actually be like civil servants fighting with different parties in the court.

Although the two people's voices were not fierce, they were sarcastic overtly and covertly that Laman would engage in such a meaningless verbal dispute in front of others.

Everyone closed their eyes and closed their eyes, no one dared to get out of this muddy water easily.

Father and son Bo Mengxian and Bo Lunqiao are a pair of old foxes whose sons have become spirits. They naturally know when to speak and when not to speak. At any time, as ministers, if they do not favor the emperor, it is their dereliction of duty and disloyalty.

But when things are urgent, follow the authority and divide the objects!
Standing opposite the emperor is a peerless martial arts expert who can easily destroy the lives of an entire clan of young and old!
Then this matter will naturally be discussed separately!

Minghe Bai's family has never been such a "foolishly loyal" person.

But Xie Huanzhang, the king of Xunyang County, frowned slightly when he heard this.

He was not only the Minister of Rites of the Tianchen Dynasty, but also a rare king with a different surname in that dynasty, and the uncle of the emperor.

Prince Xunyang did not know about the previous disagreement between Emperor Jing and Nanxu in the Jiuchen Hall, but looking at today's scene alone, it was the high priest of Nanxu who made a mistake and contradicted the king first.

Therefore, Prince Xunyang shook his head slightly in disapproval and advised:

"Master Priest, His Majesty the Great Ancestor and the ancestor Hanjiang Priest are indeed brothers with different surnames, and they have a brotherhood of sharing life and death.

However, the emperor Tianchen and the priests of Shentai Palace in subsequent dynasties treated them differently. They were emperors and ministers, and there was no personal relationship between them.

As a subject and the high priest of Nanxu, you should not be rude to His Majesty, whether intentionally or unintentionally. "

Xie Huanzhang, the king of Xunyang County, is not only the emperor's uncle, but also the only living relative of the Xie family of Xie Zhao's mother clan.

Therefore, even though he is aloof and arrogant like Nanxu, he has always respected this elder.

Nanxu frowned slightly when he heard this, but his heart suddenly became clear.

It was clear that Xie Zhao must have not informed Prince Xunyang in advance about the emperor's plan to surround and kill her.

Otherwise, I am afraid that Prince Xunyang may not be as respectful to the emperor as he is now.

Nanxu looked at Xie Zhao calmly, and when he saw Xie Zhao shaking his head slightly, he knew that she was signaling him not to involve the Xunyang Xie family in this mess for no reason.

Then he sighed helplessly in his heart and said calmly:

"The prince is serious, I am just joking with your majesty."

Prince Xunyang wanted to help their monarch and his ministers. Although it was obvious that what he said was not sincere, he naturally did not hesitate at this moment and instead said in an amiable tone:

"The high priest is an outsider and has little contact with secular rituals, even if you think about it."

Then he looked at the emperor who looked calm and comforted:

"Your Majesty is a successful young man with a broad mind, so he can understand the high priest."

Emperor Jing paused.

His eyes briefly touched the sincere face of Prince Xunyang for a moment, and then he frowned and turned his head silently, which was regarded as a reluctant agreement to let it go.

Prince Xunyang was slightly relieved when he saw this, and then looked at Xie Zhao, who was frowning and thinking about other things.

"Chitose, what do you think about the changes in the Northern Dynasty at the border?"

In front of others, Xie Huanzhang always adhered to etiquette when dealing with the emperor or Xie Zhao, calling him "Your Majesty" or "Qiansui".

Xie Zhao's thoughts were interrupted, but fortunately, she had generally smoothed things over and became clear.

Seeing Xie Huanzhang asking questions, and everyone's eyes focused on her with more or less expectation, she sighed slightly and said seriously:
"Your Majesty, uncle, gentlemen, I intend to follow General Peng Xiao to the north of Langya Pass and personally sit at the border. But before that."

Xie Zhao raised his head, looked at the emperor quietly, and said:
"There is a sudden change in the north. Princess An Ning has lived in a deep palace for a long time, has no martial arts skills, and has a weak body. It is not appropriate to go north at this time.

Please also ask Your Majesty to issue an order to allow Princess An Ning and the concubine to stay temporarily in Laiyang. When the border situation calms down a bit, the consort will personally pick up Princess An Ning and go north to the border fortress. "

Emperor Jing raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.

He finally understood.

His sister did not want Princess An Ning to go to Langya Pass at this time or become a "weak spot" in the border war situation in the future;
Of course, she also didn't want Princess An Ning to be "detained" in the capital by him and become his pawn to contain the border generals in the future.

But the overall situation was more important at this time, and it was not the time for their brother and sister to compete, so the emperor also knew his priorities clearly.

"Since sister has spoken in person, I will naturally reward An Ning and the concubine with this grace."
