Cultivating Immortality, Starts with Green Plum

Chapter 434 Jinyiwei

As Xu Ming raised his sword and chopped off the heads of the King of Qi and his accomplices.

When their heads fell to the ground, it meant that the matter was over.

No matter what happened in the past, no matter whether there are other murderers who have not been found, no matter who is involved in this matter, this matter has been concluded from now on.

Therefore, Xu Ming's sword not only killed the King of Qi and his accomplices, but also the hearts of other officials who had not been found out or were worried.

Xu Ming looked calmly at the head rolling to the ground and let out a deep breath.

There wasn't even a trace of blood on the imperial sword.

Xu Ming walked up to Emperor Wu holding the Imperial Sword in his hand and bowed: "I have avenged my blood feud. Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me this opportunity!"

Xu Ming's voice echoed throughout the square.

Hearing what Xu Ming said, many officials smiled knowingly.

For some officials who have a good relationship with the King of Qi or have received benefits from the King of Qi, Xu Ming's words mean that he will definitely not hold others accountable anymore.

Some people even lamented that "although the top scholar is young, he really knows how to do things."

It would definitely be best if everyone could live in peace in the future. There is no need to fight to the death.

Emperor Wu glanced at Xu Ming, then at the imperial sword in Xu Ming's hand, and slowly said, "This imperial sword should be kept by the number one scholar for now."

As soon as Emperor Wu finished speaking, the ministers in the square began to worry again, fearing that the top scholar's imperial sword would chop their necks.

Whether this imperial sword is sharp or not is another matter, and whether it is a divine weapon or not is also irrelevant.

Even if this imperial sword is made of ordinary iron, when it wants to chop you, what reason can you have to dodge?
When this sword is chopped down, it doesn't just mean that the person holding the sword wants you dead, but that Emperor Wu wants you dead, and that the State of Wu wants you dead.

Can you still survive at this time? Can you still escape?

Not to mention the civil and military officials, even Xu Ming was surprised.

In Xu Ming's opinion, this matter should be over, and no emperor would want to escalate this matter.

The death of one of the kings is about the same.

how?

Now that a king has died, you want to turn the court upside down and refuse to give up. Not only do you want to uproot the whole thing, you even want to leave the dirt behind?
This is impossible.

No one will allow you to do this!
You are not a royal relative.

And even if you are a royal relative, it is almost the same to do this. After all, no matter what the outcome is, you are not dead.

So Xu Ming was also very sensible. He knew that if he continued to get involved, there would not be much benefit, but it would instead cause very adverse effects on himself.

In that case, I will just put this matter aside for now. If someone else comes up later, I will naturally solve it.

But what Emperor Wu said is somewhat intriguing.

Doesn’t Emperor Wu want this matter to end?
"Your Majesty, I have no merit or virtue in accepting this imperial sword," Xu Ming declined.

Xu Ming was a little bit unable to guess what this emperor was thinking.

It is said that the emperor's mind is unpredictable, but if you don't guess, how can you survive?
"Why not accept it? If you have no merit or virtue, then who has made greater contributions than you in recent years?" Emperor Wu continued, looking like he didn't want Xu Ming to refuse.

Emperor Wu turned around and spoke to the civil and military officials: "From today on, the Jinyiwei will be established, and Xu Ming will be the commander, a second-rank official, commanding 5,888 Jinyiwei envoys.

The Jinyiwei has the duties of serving the emperor, fighting outside the capital, supervising civil and military affairs, patrolling and arresting people! The Jinyiwei is directly responsible to me, investigating the kings and princes above and the officials below!
My dear ministers, do you have any objections?"

When Emperor Wu made the announcement, all civil and military officials were in an uproar.

Investigate the kings and princes above and the officials below?
And this is just to be responsible to His Majesty?

The imperial sword in the hands of the number one scholar meant to Emperor Wu that the entire Jinyiwei was his imperial sword!

For all officials, naturally, they do not want to have such an institution over their heads.

But looking at the rolling head and dripping blood, no one dared to stand up.

"Since you have no objections, then it is decided." Emperor Wu turned around and looked at Xu Ming. "I wonder if you are satisfied with this position?"

Emperor Wu did not ask Xu Ming whether he was willing to accept the official position, but asked Xu Ming whether he was "satisfied".

How should Xu Ming respond to this?
Say you are not satisfied?

Do you dare to be dissatisfied with His Majesty's decision?

If you say you are satisfied, you can only accept this official position.

Xu Ming seems to have a choice, but in fact he has no choice at all.

"I thank Your Majesty! I will do my best, devote my heart and soul to Your Majesty, and serve you until my death!" Xu Ming said loudly, as if declaring his loyalty to Emperor Wu.

"Well, very good." Emperor Wu helped Xu Ming up, "I'll trouble you to take care of the affairs of the capital."

Xu Ming nodded and lowered his eyebrows: "Your Majesty, what are you talking about?"

"Now that the matter is over and the King of Qi and others have been brought to justice, you all may withdraw. The commander is also tired, so go back and have a good rest. You can take up your post in half a month." Emperor Wu did not want to leave any room for discussion on this matter.

"It's your Majesty!"

Civil and military officials shouted in unison and retreated one after another.

Xu Ming also left the palace.

Outside the palace, the Xu family's carriage had already arrived to pick them up.

However, to Xu Ming's surprise, the person who came to pick him up was not the steward of the Xu Mansion, but his cheap father.

"Hey, hey, Ming'er, your dad is here to pick you up in person, get in the car, get in the car."

Seeing his son coming out, Xu Zheng waved happily. His words and actions made him look like an uneducated rich kid, and his pale face showed that he had indulged himself too much.

Xu Ming stepped forward, hugged the sword and bowed: "Dad."

"Why are we being so polite to each other?" Xu Zheng smiled, and then said as if to take credit, "As soon as your father heard that you were back, he drove a carriage to pick you up in person."

Xu Ming smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Dad."

"Hahaha." Xu Zheng seemed to feel that his son was touched by his behavior. "It's not hard, let's go back home. By the way, your sword is quite beautiful. What's its name?"

As he spoke, Xu Zheng's hand was about to touch the golden sword.

"This sword is called the Imperial Sword."

Just when Xu Zheng's hand was about to touch the hilt of the sword, Xu Ming quickly retracted his hand as if he had touched a hedgehog.
