I Really Don’t Know How To Practice

In the court hall, everyone was trembling, and many of them were still in grief, so they were forcibly summoned here.

Emperor Wu sat on the throne, and everyone could see the raging anger hidden between his brows.

The crown prince and the fifth prince were all located in the hall. They lowered their heads, wondering what they were thinking.

Ning Shanzhi's forehead was already dripping with cold sweat. Because of Han Xu, the development of this incident had already exceeded their previous plan.

If they followed their plan, Han Luoling would be killed, Han Xu would die, and the fifth prince would take the blame. The prince, the instigator, would heroically rescue him at the critical moment and make great contributions.

But in the end, Han Luoling didn't die, and Han Xu didn't die either. On the contrary, the prince's side lost troops and lost generals, and Wu Ji was directly killed.

Most importantly, Wu Ji wanted to kill Han Luoling.

Although when Qin Ling and Emperor Wu arrived, Wu Ji had already been beaten to death by Han Xu, and the crown prince never got out of the carriage, but anyone who wasn't a fool would think that the crown prince was behind the scenes.

Emperor Wu looked at the prince, then at the fifth prince, and finally at all the civil and military officials.

Whoever his eyes fell on, felt as if he was being stared at by an ancient ferocious beast, with cold sweat running down his back.

"Qin Ling!" After a long silence, Emperor Wu spoke expressionlessly, and the first person he called was actually Qin Ling.

Qin Ling fought the enemy bravely throughout the incident, and led the Tiance Army to defeat the beast horde, which can be said to be the greatest contribution.

However, he knocked Han Luoling unconscious.

"The minister is here!" Qin Ling had already removed his armor, and a cloth shirt showed his strong muscles. He walked to the center and knelt in front of the hall.

"Can you be convicted?"

"Your Majesty is guilty, please punish me." Qin Ling didn't have any emotional fluctuations, as if he had already made psychological preparations.

The officials were very complicated. If they were to talk about who had been with Emperor Wu the longest and who was most loyal to Emperor Wu among those present, it must be Qin Ling.

When Emperor Wu was still the prince, Qin Ling was by his side, going through life and death, and almost died several times trying to save Emperor Wu.

This time, Qin Ling had no choice but to knock Han Luoling unconscious for the sake of the overall situation. In the eyes of everyone, this was not incomprehensible.

This is an act of loyalty and bravery, and should not be punished, even if there is a punishment, at most it will be a few words and put on a show.

However, Emperor Wu said: "Since you are convicted, I will spare your life for the sake of your loyalty for many years. From now on, you will no longer be the commander of Tiance Army, go home and take care of yourself."

After Emperor Wu finished speaking, the hall was silent.

Unexpectedly, just because Qin Ling knocked Han Luoling unconscious, Emperor Wu actually dismissed him directly.

Is a loyal minister who has followed him for decades, who has been born and died countless times, not as good as a concubine?

"Your Majesty can't!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

...

Soon, seven or eight officials came forward to intercede for Qin Ling.

Among them was Hou Qian, Shangshu of the Ministry of War. He commanded the military and had a friendship with Qin Ling. He couldn't bear to see this Tongze end up in such a sad way.

Emperor Wu looked at these courtiers with indifferent eyes, and he said: "Stand back for me, if you intercede for him again, I will go home with him for the elderly."

Now, the person who begged just now fell silent, only Hou Qian still looked at Emperor Wu with stubborn eyes.

Qin Ling said: "You don't need to plead for me."

After finishing speaking, he kowtowed to Emperor Wu and said, "Civilian, farewell, long live Your Majesty! Long live Great Wu!"

After speaking, he got up and left the hall without looking back.

Everyone looked at his back, and couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in their hearts.

A generation of loyal ministers ended up in such a sad end because of a concubine.

Sad, pitiful, deplorable.

But Emperor Wu didn't give them more time to be sad, and then read out the next name.

"Ning Shanzhi!"

When Ning Shanzhi heard it was his turn, his legs felt weak, and he forced himself to come to the center and knelt down.

"The criminal is here!"

"The matter of the spring hunting will be handled by your Ministry of Rites. Let's see what you have done."

"Your Majesty is guilty!" Ning Shanzhi said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"Forgive me?" Emperor Wu said, "When did I say I wanted your life?"

"Your Majesty?" Ning Shanzhi was overjoyed when he heard the news, but before he had time to laugh, he heard the Emperor Wu continue to say: "I'm thinking about such a big event, maybe you can't plan it alone, there must be an accomplice."

"Come here, take Ning Shanzhi to the dungeon and find out his accomplices!"

As soon as Emperor Wu's words fell, several figures appeared from all directions, and Ning Shanzhi was restrained before he could move.

These warriors who shot were all dressed in black clothes, with a dagger on their backs, and a red dragon logo embroidered on their chests.

It was the frightening Xuan Yiwei.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Wu directly dispatched Xuan Yiwei.

Ning Shanzhi's body went limp all of a sudden, he was so frightened that he couldn't even speak, and was dragged out like a dog.

The prince's face turned even paler. No one could keep his mouth shut under the torture of Xuan Yiwei.

After dealing with the two ministers, Emperor Wu did not rush to name the ministers, but looked at the three princes below.

He said: "Amethyst unicorn, I killed it myself."

"From its mouth, I found this."

After finishing speaking, a piece of jade pendant was thrown from Emperor Wu's hand, landed on the carpet, rolled a few times, and stopped just in front of the fifth prince's toes.

"Father, son, son killed a young amethyst one-horned lion, unexpectedly..." The fifth prince immediately knelt down and quickly explained.

Emperor Wu gave up and stopped him from continuing.

He said: "You can kill the young amethyst unicorn, which proves that you have made a lot of progress this year. I am very pleased."

"However, you didn't consider the consequences carefully. If you don't leave this jade pendant behind, the adult Amethyst Unicorn Lion won't pursue your position, and won't want to kill the royal family's blood for revenge~www.wuxiaspot.com~ So, one of your carelessness triggered a beast tide, putting everyone in danger, especially your brother."

When everyone saw the jade pendant, they suddenly realized.

The jade pendant belonged to the fifth prince, so it naturally had his aura. Through the aura of the fifth prince, the Amethyst One-horned Lion could identify the prince and the third prince who also had royal blood, so he focused on taking care of the three of them.

"I will punish you to face the wall of the Taixue for three months, and think about your mistakes."

"I have received the decree. Thank you, Father." The fifth prince breathed a sigh of relief. Three months in front of the Imperial Academy was not considered a serious punishment.

It seems that Emperor Wu still cared about his son, and in the whole matter, reasonable people knew that the fifth prince was also being calculated.

"Stand back."

"Yes."

The fifth prince stepped aside and stood up. Compared with before, his expression was much more relaxed.

"Xiu Qi, do you have something to tell me?"

The prince's body shook, and he immediately knelt on the ground, suppressing the panic in his heart, and said to Emperor Wu: "I don't know what the emperor said?"

"You, really don't know?"

"My son really doesn't know."

"Aren't you going to give me an explanation about Wu Ji? Aren't you going to give me an explanation for my concubine Ling?"
