unexpectedly had the thought, "The only way to escape is to give her body to Zhuang Chengqian."He immediately crushed the thought.That way perhaps one could preserve the physical body, but the soul w...On the vast, ornate platform, a space was left empty.
Not many people are willing to get involved in this mess.
"Presumptuous!"
Jiang Ruimo took a direct step forward, standing between Tian Xili and Liu Yingqi.
Even though this prime minister was known for his mild temperament and rarely lost his temper, even being called "the dough-faced prime minister" by some, he couldn't help but be furious at the moment.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
A "mother-in-law face" was so angry it turned red.
What are the two of you doing in front of the Tai Temple! Isn't it embarrassing enough to make a fool of yourselves in this day and age, do you also want to shame the former emperor!
Cao Jie stepped forward even more, his hand already on the sword. It seemed as if with a single command from the emperor, he would draw his sword and strike down those two noble figures.
"Prime Minister!"
Tian Xili was stunned for a moment, as if only then did he react.
Bowing low before the towering dais where the Emperor stood, he declared, "Your Majesty, do you recall the old agreement made in Changming County"
Above the Emperor's throne, silence reigned.
Tian Xili remained in that deeply bowed posture, motionless.
Even with his divine cultivation, cold sweat began to appear on his forehead.
Thump!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
At this moment, Liu Yingqi knelt directly on the ground: "We, your ministers, have roared in the ancestral temple, and deserve to die!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Tian Xili's figure was visibly heavier, but he didn't dare to move.
"You lowly wretch!" he seethed with rage, wishing he could jump up and kill Liu Yingqi right then and there, but all he could do was roar silently in his heart.
Every breath the Emperor of Great Qi remained silent, his back grew heavier by a thousand jin.
The might of heaven was like a prison, pressing down on him so he could hardly breathe!
After an unknown amount of time, in the struggle against fear, Tian Xili seemed to have lived a lifetime.
The emperor on the dragon throne only slowly opened his mouth: “High Chamberlain Gao Chang, why do you teach me”
Thump!
“I am terrified!”
Tian Xili also knelt down, bowing his head to the ground, stretching his hands over his head and pressing them flat on the ground.
I am deeply honored and humbled.
“I am unworthy, Your Majesty! How could I possibly be qualified to instruct you!”
Jiang Wang watched this scene and felt more and more the majesty and might of the current Emperor Taizong of Daqi.
A single moment of silence, a single question, was enough to crush Gao Chang Hou's spine. It reduced his air of righteous indignation to dust.
The Emperor of Great Qi spoke slowly, "I would like to hear, Marquis Gaochang, what has caused you such a furious outburst today"
"Your Majesty, please be enlightened," Tian Xili bowed down and said in a trembling voice: "Tian Anping, the unfilial son of the Tian family, quarreled with Liu Shen Tong, a member of the Liu family from Fufeng, that day. In a moment of carelessness, he killed him. This act of defying morality and violating the law should be punished with the ultimate penalty."
Thanks to the emperor's benevolence, Tian Anping was spared death and only punished by being imprisoned in the inner palace for ten years.
In Changming County, the Tian family and the Liu family made an agreement. The Tian family would give up everything they had to compensate for the death of the Liu family's prodigy. Yuan Shi carried it by carriage, treasures were measured by dou (ancient Chinese unit of volume), secret techniques, Taoist arts, and weaponry - all would be given without reservation. Minister Tian Xili taught his son astray, he should bear this responsibility, emptying his family fortune is what he deserves! At that time, the Liu family also agreed that this matter would never be brought up again.
"Indeed!"
He pressed his hands against the ground and raised his head, gazing upwards towards the direction of the sun, his face filled with grief and fury: "My lord, I just received news that Liu Xiao, from the Liu family of Fufeng, brutally killed the guards defending the city and has already entered the city!"
A gasp of astonishment swept through the crowd!
Only then did people understand why, with Gao Chang Hou's cunning, he would be so unwise in this situation, openly clashing with Liu Yingqi!
The Emperor's voice, descending from the Heavenly Throne above, pressed down like the entirety of the sky: "Duke Xuanhui, how do you explain this"
Liu Yingqi, kneeling on the ground, didn't dare to raise his head until now. He finally slowly lifted it, allowing people to see—
His face, streaming with tears!
He knelt there, before so many people, and burst into tears: "A father has lost his son, a clan its talent. Generations of hard work, ruined in an instant. A hundred years of future, cut down with a single blade. Your Majesty, how can I explain this!"
It’s not appropriate for the emperor to respond to this.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
On that day in Changming County, regardless of the reasons. Tian Anping killed Liu Shen Tong and was not sentenced to death is an undisputed fact.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
Whether the Emperor valued talent or favored the Field Clan, his handling of matters was undeniably unfair.
The grief of Liu Yingqi was well known to all at the time.
As a hereditary earl, he wept like this, which inevitably evokes pity.
At times like this, it is natural for the country to step in.
A prime minister’s competence is largely measured by his ability to shoulder the emperor's blame. This "blame" is not responsibility, but rather censure.
Jiang Ru'mo said with a cold face, "The matter from that year already has a public judgment, and it was also recognized by you, Liu Yingqi. One case cannot be treated as two cases. Today's discussion is about Liu Xiaoqiang's crime of breaking into the city!"
"
He kowtowed heavily again before the emperor.
>
His forehead and the ground met with a dull thud.
“Whether Liu Xiao lives or dies is entirely up to the Saint's judgment, and the Liu family dares not interfere! Today at the grand ceremony, Liu Yingqi was disrespectful and caused chaos in the ancestral temple, bringing laughter upon the world. His crime deserves death. I implore Your Majesty to grant me a sword so that I may commit seppuku!”
Zhong Xuan squinted his eyes, watching the play with only two words in mind: "Your mother!"
Who says the Liu family is not ruthless
>
Who laughs at the weak willow that can only lean on the wind
>
When Liu was angry, nobody else mattered!
First, Liu Xiao used his divine authority to summon Xiu to the afterlife, taking Tian Anping along with him.
And then there was Liu Yingqi, who at this grand ceremony, pulled Tian Xili together to die.
He merely shouted along with the clamor, putting on a show of bravado. This was an insult to the grand ceremony and the temple, deserving of self-punishment. But what about Tian Xili, who had taken the lead in the commotion and almost resorted to violence
Liu Yingqi may just be of average appearance and ability, but he is by no means foolish.
Even if he was a fool, harboring nearly ten years of hatred shouldn't be underestimated.
Tian Xili wanted to use the occasion of the grand ceremony to seize the opportunity and, with the story of Liu Xiao's attack on the city, win enough chips for the Tian clan. This is a qualified political accomplishment.
And Liu Yingqi had no room to respond at all. He couldn't possibly reopen the case from years past today, nor could he criticize the emperor for being unjust.
So he chose...
Dragging them down to die with me.
A Prince of Xuan, whose heir would be displaced in the next generation, dragged a high-ranking official from Gaochang, who was in his prime years, to his death.
A setting sun cast its last rays upon Liu, the aging patriarch of a once-powerful clan, as he dragged Tian, the head of a still prestigious family, toward their demise.
It seems like no matter how I calculate it, there's no loss.
But when it comes to life and death, how can such things be calculated simply
How many people can face it with composure!
Liu Yingqi, today you are truly impressive!
Even the Emperor was momentarily speechless!
Though Liu Yingqi appears intimidated and resigned to his fate at present, he is not actually afraid.
If we want to hold the Liu family accountable, anyway, Liu Yingqi is going to be stripped of his title, and his bloodline descendants will not inherit the title of Marquis Xuanhuai.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
If we were to hold Liu Yingqi accountable, he had already proactively committed suicide. How could we hold him accountable!
Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!
If people are not afraid of death, why should they fear it
He had nothing, and he was even more afraid than Tian Xili!
