The Minister of War, Baiqi, stepped out with a respectful expression and said,"Emperor, this official thinks that since the deceased is Concubine Ning's cousin, in order to give Concubine Ning an explanation, this Tibetan envoy should be beheaded in public to appease Concubine Ning's anger.”
"Uncle Da, what do you think of this matter?”
Zhang Juzheng walked out from the officials and said respectfully,"Your Majesty, this Tibetan envoy represents Tibet. If we behead him, I'm afraid that the Tibetan King will be unhappy and use this as an excuse to attack the Great Zhou. The Great Zhou has just annexed Xixia and the Turks, and is attacking the Wei Nation. As for the Fire System Department, most of the fire systems produced were already equipped with the Great Zhou Navy.”
"Therefore, I, Zhang Juzheng, think that we should imprison this Tibetan envoy for half a year. After half a year, we will behead him in public. "At that time, the newly recruited soldiers of our Great Zhou can already be used. If the Tubo use this as an excuse to start a war, we can fight them again.”
"Uncle Da's words are brilliant. What does Minister Li think of this?”
"I feel that the Minister of Revenue's words can be adopted!”
"Bai Qi, zhen can see that you are not satisfied with this. Tell me your opinion.”
"I think that the Tibetan messenger inn is extremely arrogant. Why don't we behead this person half a year later and send a letter of challenge to the Tibetans?”
"Zero."
"Your subject is here!"
"Fire Element, Iron Cannon, how many are left?”
"Reporting to the emperor, there are still 18,000 fire weapons and 128 iron cannons.”
All the officials were shocked.
If these fire and iron cannons were brought into the army…
He could forge the Great Zhou Lion into the sharpest blade!
Even if the Tubo army was strong, they were definitely not a match for the Great Zhou army!
"How's the progress of the ship larger than the Weiyuan that I asked you to supervise?”
"Reporting to the emperor, one-third of it has been completed. In at most two months, we can go to sea for trials.”
"Are there any leads on the manufacture of torpedoes?"
"I have already manufactured the torpedoes according to the blueprints and have tested them with the torpedoes. They can be put into production.”
"Very good, this one will give you another six million taels of silver for your use!”
"Yes!"
All the officials were shocked!
This Weiyuan mainship was comparable to Zheng He's treasured ship!
Its combat ability far surpassed Zheng He's treasured ship.
He had never thought that!
They could actually build a warship that was even larger than the Weiyuan flagship!
And what was that torpedoes?
The civil and military officials were puzzled!
Ji Hao sat on the dragon throne, looked down at the officials and said,""Does anyone else have a different opinion about the Tibetan emissary hurting people?”
For a moment, there was complete silence.
"Since none of you have any different opinions, pass on my decree. The Tibetan envoy is arrogant and unruly. He killed the people of Great Zhou in Chang 'an and executed them to show the might of Great Zhou! Send Murong Fu Zhi's corpse back to Gusu for a lavish burial and let him return to his roots. Tubo is located between Xixia, the Turks, and the Great Zhou Dynasty. If the King of Tubo starts a war with this, he will attack from three sides and take the opportunity to destroy Tubo. Do you have any objections?”
"Your Majesty is wise and wise. We have no objections!”
All the officials in the court could see the Emperor's determination!
Even if the Tubo army was strong, why would the Great Zhou hesitate to fight?
……
Jiu Mozhi was locked up with an iron chain. He was escorted to the Meridian Gate by Lu Zhangke and He Biweng, the two masters of the Six Fan School, and tied up on the wooden frame for execution.
The two executioners were already standing on the left and right, waiting for noon!
"Do you know who I am? "I am the Tubo Imperial Teacher, Jiu Mozhi. I am the Tubo envoy and have come to Great Zhou for the marriage alliance. I only accidentally injured a person. How dare you kill me? I want to see the Great Zhou Emperor!”
However, no matter how much Jiu Mozhi shouted, no one paid attention to him.
"It's noon. Execution!"
"You dare to kill me!"
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Jiu Mozhi screamed in pain as his flesh was cut off piece by piece!
As time passed, the screams gradually disappeared.
The execution lasted for two hours.
In the end, Tubo Imperial Advisor Jiu Mozhi died!
At this moment, Ji Hao was in Changle Palace, accompanying Concubine Ning and Wang Yuyan.
Concubine Ning and Wang Yuyan's pretty face was full of smiles as they said,""Emperor, why did you come in broad daylight today? This concubine is somewhat overwhelmed by the unexpected favor.”
"I want to tell you something. Don't be too sad.”
Concubine Ning and Wang Yuyan asked with a puzzled expression,""Emperor, you've made ChenQie Consort Ning. In this harem, you're loved by thousands of people. What else can make ChenQie sad?”
"Your cousin, Murong Fu, fought with someone in the inn of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant yesterday and was killed in the end.”
"Your Majesty, please don't joke around. Cousin is proficient in all martial arts and has the family's Revolving Stars Shifting Technique to protect his body. Even if he is in a fight, he can still escape. How could he be harmed? Moreover, he also practices a martial art called Turtle Breathing Technique. After using it, he can appear in a state of suspended animation for seven days and seven nights.”
"Oh? There was such a thing. The person who harmed your cousin was the Tubo Nation Master, Jiu Mozhi. He was the Tubo envoy who came to Chang 'an to offer gifts. He has been executed by me.”
"Your Majesty, there must be something fishy about this matter. With the strength of the Tubo Imperial Advisor, even if Cousin is no match for him, he can definitely escape. Cousin is bent on reviving the great cause of his ancestors. Since the Tubo Imperial Advisor is a messenger of the Tubo Empire, this concubine feels that Cousin is very likely to use the Turtle Breathing Technique to pretend to be killed by the Tubo Imperial Advisor and use this to stir up a dispute between the two countries to benefit from it!”
"Liu Jin!"
"Your subject is here!"
Hearing that, Ji Hao immediately felt that he was tricked. He said coldly,""Pass down my decree, order Cao Zhengchun to quickly go to the Ministry of Justice and bring Murong Fu's corpse into the palace without any mistakes.”
"Yes!"
Liu Jin received the divine order and left Changle Palace without stopping.
Less than two hours passed.
Cao Zhengchun entered Changle Palace to report and said respectfully,""Reporting to the emperor, that Murong Fu's corpse actually disappeared. This official did not do well, please punish him.”
"Alright, there's nothing else for you to do here. You can leave.”
"Yes!"
After Cao Zhengchun left.
" Yu Yan," said Ji Hao coldly," I don't like the feeling of being plotted against. If what you said is true, I will order him to be executed."”
Concubine Ning and Wang Yuyan heard this and immediately knelt on the ground, saying,""If it wasn't for Cousin, I'm afraid ChenQie wouldn't have entered the palace to be a beautiful girl, and wouldn't have met the emperor at Qingyun Villa. Please spare his life for ChenQie's sake.”
"If it was someone else who pleaded for him, I would have punished the person who pleaded for him as well.”
"ChenQie knows that this shouldn't be said, but ChenQie also knows that the emperor won't kill ChenQie.”
"Since you're the one begging for mercy, I'll spare his life. However, he can avoid death, but he can't escape punishment!”
"ChenQie thanks the emperor for his mercy."
"Rise."
When Concubine Ning and Wang Yuyan stood up, the jade bracelet on her wrist was revealed.
"Your bracelet is not bad. I've never seen you wear it before.”
"Emperor, this was given to ChenQie by Sister Xian Fei. ChenQie still has a headache about what gift to give back.”
Ji Hao nodded and said," Choose an exquisite one from the things I gave you and give it to Consort Xian. I will send some more."”
"ChenQie thanks the emperor!"
"You don't need to be so reserved. Zhen knows that you've never traveled far and are homesick. Zhen has already ordered people in the palace to build an identical residence for you in the palace according to Mantuo Villa. If you're willing, Zhen can also send people to Mantuo Villa to bring your mother and servant to live in the palace.”
"Emperor, other than mother, no one else in the world has ever treated ChenQie so well. ChenQie is crying tears of joy.”
Ji Hao held Concubine Ning's face and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. He couldn't help but chuckle.
In the evening, Ji Hao flipped through Concubine Ning and Wang Yuyan's signboard, then the dragon carriage came to Changle Palace.
