[Translation note: Skipped website advertisement message]
Commandery Princess Baili, Han Tong?
Hall Officials stealthily, stealthily exchanged eye spirits. Desiring to look and look possessing or not possessing people knowing this matter... But encircling gazing four surroundings. Hall Officials all were sleepily confused (baffled) spirit expressions. Nobody knew these two people were how pulled at residing together's. Also ought not to be pulled at residing together.
Hall Officials again took their gazes quietly, quietly throwing toward Renshou Palace inside. Desiring to look and look the gauze curtains' after that positioned one's spirit emotions.
His Majesty possessing or not possessing knowledge of this matter? Also perhaps is. His Majesty possessing or not possessing knowledge of Meng Ji having this single question?
Today's interrogation clearly, brightly is arranging acting safely's (rehearsed) story books ancient matters (tales). Mutually this a single singing a single harmonizing. Taking blades slashing upon Transport river upon. Just merely Wu Xiu transmitting His Majesty's oral edicts's time. Majestically identically a single pair of famous actors singing finishing. Ascending the platform thanking the arena's models and appearances.
How again horizontally generating branches and joints (unexpected complications)?
Literature officials matching upon a single positioned Hall Official only then hitting severing (interrupting) Meng Ji's interrogations. His Majesty's oral edicts already exiting. Han Tong's matters simply ought arriving at this place hitting stopping already. But Meng Ji's interrogations not solely hadn't stopped. Inversely risking his life using his most after strength energy asking rising Commandery Princess Baili's matters.
They connecting holding anew looking at Wu Xiu's astonished and (surprised) eye spirits. Hearts center pausing timing confusedly doubting. Difficult not accomplishing (could it be) His Majesty genuinely didn't know would possess this single fold (twist). Is that Trouble-Resolving Tower's Du Xiang arbitrarily acting as master (acting on his own)?
How daring?
At this time. Han Tong's spirit emotions struggling allowed longly. Seeming as if un-willing answering exiting real emotions (truth). Eye whites downwardly flipping. Flipping ascending going's eyes following time universally about to anew flip returning coming.
Bai Long from his sleeves center taking exiting a single sheet of yellow paper talisman. Folding turning into three corners' yellow paper talisman obscurely approximately (faintly) piercing holding blood colors. Yet not knowing is what person's fresh blood writing writing.
He took the yellow paper talisman passing arriving at Meng Ji's mouth sides: "Spread mouth."
Meng Ji a single mouthful took the yellow paper talisman pressing at his tongue beneath. Face colors center Blood Qi flipping surging. Angrily scolding Han Tong: "Speak!"
Han Tong hoarsely mutely said: "Zhu Baili simply is my and Wen Yunmo's daughter."
Renshou Palace front's empty air (air) congealed turning into ice.
Grand Secretaries and Hall Officials's gazes uniformly brushing, brushing nailing upon Han Tong's body upon. Every singly a single path of viewing lines universally at reversing overturning deliberating pouring (carefully weighing) his just merely's that single sentence of words. Seemingly as if wanting to from word crevices inside digging exiting mud and earth coming.
Wen Yunmo.
Numerous people a single time actually thinking not rising coming this single piece of name is whoever. Initiating until possessing people in a low voice lifting waking (reminding) saying: "Wen Yunmo. Prince Jing Side Consort."
The multitudes of people suddenly violently a single freeze. Prince Jing's Side Consort and transport river Stick Bearers generating descending children and daughters? About to poke breaking the Heavens already.
"Absurd!" A single sound of severely shouting forcefully breaking opening. Chief Surveillance Bureau Left Censor-in-Chief Qi Xianzhun's mustache and hair all spreading. Fingers tremblingly shaking point at Han Tong: "Demonic words confusing the multitudes. Climbing falsely accusing imperial clan. Blemishing sullying Heavenly house blood veins (royal bloodline). His Majesty. His heart capable of being (punished/killed). Ought to raze nine familial tribes!"
He these words shouting exiting coming. Identical to a single gourd scoop of water dropping entering rolling oil inside. Spaciously breaking opening. Possessing Hall Officials facing toward Renshou Palace kneeling down: "His Majesty. This vicious beast madly crazy. What he speaks all are empty delusions!"
Again possessing Hall Officials kneeling down: "Ought to slice late (death by a thousand cuts)! Ought to slice late ah His Majesty!"
"Handling using extreme punishments!"
"Severing head showing the multitudes!"
Meng Ji suffering this boisterously clamorous sounds startling disturbing. Ultimately is resisting un-holding Practitioner Pathway reverse biting. Spitting exiting a single mouthful of fresh blood dying passing to go.
Bai Long toward the secret spies waving and waving hands: "Carrying subordinately heading carefully properly looking and concerning (taking care of him)."
At this time. Han Tong suddenly groundingly (suddenly) ha-ha grandly smiling rising up: "Raze nine familial tribes? This certain Han person where comes the nine familial tribes? This certain Han person un-passing (only) is the Wen Family receiving leaving's a single named orphaned child finishing already. The Wen Family isn't early on suffered you all killing exhaustingly already or?"
He suffered Minor Five Decays of Devas and Men shielding covering both his eyes. Using his own hole cavern lacking spirit's gazes looking toward the deeply profound Renshou Palace: "Initially if lacking my Canal Transport Guild fundamentally strongly mutually assisting. Prince Jing relying on what peacefully (quelled) two lakes internal chaos? If lacking my Canal Transport Guild. The imperial court these grain and forage relying on what transporting freely resembling? If lacking my Canal Transport Guild. The imperial court relying on what intercepting severing the Liu Family transmitting letters? If lacking my Canal Transport Guild. You earlier somewhat years accumulating raising secret spies and Trouble-Resolving Guards' those money and wealth again from where coming? Sitting steadily dropped the Dragon Throne simply crossing the river tearing down bridges. You rushing exhaustively killing absolutely. Un-passing is desiring to take the Canal Transport Guild earlier years helping you doing's those dirty matters covering holding them and finishing already!"
Renshou Palace inside and outside submergedly quiet coming down.
All existing people universally knew His Majesty was capable of eliminating dropping external maternal relatives the Liu Family. The Canal Transport Guild identically possessed Merit of Supporting the Dragon. This is a single pen of stale years rotten accounts (an old messy debt). Now yet not knowing ought to how calculating rising.
Wu Xiu severely sounding saying: "Take Han Tong's mouth blocking rising up!"
In the next moment. A single array of Three Mountains Bell's bell sounds transmitted coming. Wu Xiu hastily hurriedly reverting his body cupping his hands: "His Majesty?"
The Imperial seat's above Emperor Ning finally rising his body. He strumming opening layer upon layer gauze curtains. Hoisting holding Three Mountains Bell arriving at the hall doors front.
Morning light dropping upon Emperor Ning's black-colored Dao robes upon. That sheet of previously coming suffering transmitting acting as yin and cruel's face upon. This moment manifestly exiting desolately cool's calmly peaceful: "Zhen (I) sitting steadily this Dragon Throne. Relying on is not your Canal Transport Guild. Relying on is Grand Ancestor High Emperor transmitting descending's law lineages (legitimacy). Is the Heavens beneath commoner people handing over's society and altars' (the state's) heaviness."
Han Tong sneeringly smilingly said: "Dao models shore appropriately (Sanctimonious)!"
Emperor Ning hadn't with Han Tong contended debating. Merely indifferently said: "Transmit edicts. Take Han Tong receiving escorting the Inner Prison. Waiting until Ministry of Personnel assembling identically Three Law Bureaus investigating brightly sin responsibilities. Immediately asking severing (beheading)."
Han Tong hadn't at intents (minded) his own death period approaching nearing. Merely both eyes losing spirit highly loudly shouting saying: "Chen Ji? Chen Ji at where?"
Chen Ji at not farly positioned answering saying: "I am at here."
Han Tong mocking ironically saying: "Chen Ji. This simply is what you want's. Using good heart exchanging Fame and Fortune? Making imperial court eagles and hounds, Eunuch Faction walking dogs?"
Chen Ji silently suppressing un-speaking.
Bai Long waving and waving hands. Jin Zhu and Tian Ma immediately took Han Tong dragging away.
Han Tong suffering dragging walking at ground. Releasing sounds highly calling: "Full court clothing hats birds and beasts (beasts in human clothing). Early or late about to call this Heavens beneath hundred surnames knowing. You peers' blood also is red colors's!"
Sounds gradually gradually far departing. Wu Xiu looking toward Emperor Ning: "His Majesty. Zhu Baili..."
Only seeing Emperor Ning taking hands center Three Mountains Bell tossing at ground upon: "Transmit edicts. Stripping depriving Zhu Baili surnames. Filling entering Imperial Music Bureau issuing selling slave registry. Locally selling silver money receiving entering Inner Treasury."
Chen Ji standing outside the hall. Lowering his head looking at Three Mountains Bell rolling arriving at the Filial Piety and Fraternal Duty monument relatively. Obstructedly self (alone) issuing exiting ding-ding dang-dang echoing sounds.
He previously a single straight considered not thoroughly (couldn't figure out) the Inner Chancellor wanting to how return Bai Li freedom. Commandery Princess Baili was suffering treason cases pulling linking. If according to Grand Ning law methods. Wanting desiring to return Bai Li freedom simply first of all about to for Prince Jing peaceful reversing (rehabilitating his name). This essentially identically is un-capable's matter.
He considered for very long. Also hadn't considered exiting what managing methods capable of within Seven Days's inside untying resolving this matter. And right now. The Inner Chancellor gave exiting answering cases (answers).
Bai Li again isn't royal room bloodline. Naturally lacking methods anew using to harmoniously marry.
Filling entering Imperial Music Bureau issuing selling. Naturally also capable of thoroughly bottomly departing opening palace prohibitions.
Considering searching interval. Ministry of Rites Minister Qi Xun Elder Qi suddenly asking saying: "His Majesty. If taking this female filling entering Imperial Music Bureau. Annan harmoniously marrying's matters ought how is good? Not uniformly (it would be better to) concealing descending this matter. Allowing dropping Annan harmoniously marrying's lifting discussions (proposal)."
Chen Ji exactly simply ascending frontwards a single step: "Not appropriate. Elder Qi. Paper wrapping un-holding fire. Annan late early knowing this matter. Arriving time our court ought how face confronting foreign states interrogating asking?"
Elder Qi seeming as if hadn't thought arriving at Chen Ji would refute scolding (rebut) him. Slightly side eyeing slantingly squinting passing coming: "Annan locally seeking un-passing (only) is a name portion finishing already. Giving them redundantly dispatching sending somewhat craftsmen and medical officials. They themselves will learn holding shutting mouths."
Chen Ji's sounds again high dropping somewhat: "Elder Qi (honorably) acting as Ministry of Rites Minister. Ought to know nations lacking Trust not establishing. Today for the sake of economizing a single matter capable of deceiving concealing foreign states. Other days for the sake of economizing a single matter. Is it or isn't it identically capable of deceiving concealing the Heavens beneath hundred surnames? Arriving time political edicts un-walking. Law degrees un-manifesting. Nations about to what using acting as nations?"
Elder Qi's eye corners slightly jumping moving. He hadn't looked at Chen Ji. And was toward Emperor Ning's directions slightly bowing his body: "His Majesty. Old minister's foolish view. Annan minutely small state. Locally seeking un-passing is Heavenly Court bodily face (prestige) and somewhat actual benefits. Craftsmen medical officials. Concurrently arriving at this year redundantly adding three portions's annual bestowing. Amply using to peacefully soothe. Mutually comparing's beneath. Royal clan blood veins mixingly (confused) matters if transmitting raising opening coming. Damaging's is my Grand Ning's national entity. Moving shaking's is the Heavens beneath people's hearts. Which light which heavy. Hope His Majesty sagely judging."
Again possessing several named Hall Officials in a low voice accompanying harmonizing: "Elder Qi locally speaks extremely is. Ought using grand boards (the big picture) acting as heavy."
"Commandery Princess since already is not Heavenly house blood veins. Sending heading harmoniously marrying. Identically counted as completely full His Majesty's Benevolence and virtue. Giving her a single path of exiting paths."
Chen Ji using sounds taking all existing accompanying harmonizing a single correspondingly pressing dropped to go: "Not capable!"
Emperor Ning calmly peacefully looking toward him: "Viscount Wuxiang. According to your's viewing. This matter how two complete (satisfy both sides)?"
Chen Ji deeply inhaling a single mouthful of air. In a submerged voice said: "His Majesty. Minister identically considers. This matter absolutely lacks two completely's methods. With Bai Li blood veins lacks relations. And is my court cannot with Annan harmoniously marry."
Elder Qi slightly frowning eyebrows: "Not harmoniously marry? Annan seeking marriage national books already passed. How capable of children's plays (a joke)?"
Chen Ji's speaking speeds adding fast: "His Majesty. Siam precisely internally chaotic. Jiaozhi again accumulatingly weak numerous years. Southern directions already lacks people capable of limiting balancing Annan. If allowing Annan to borrow my Heavenly Court's awe at southern directions establishing feet. Driving Jiaozhi. Swallowing Siam. Today's Annan. Tomorrow simply turning into my court's heart belly grand worry (major threat). His Majesty. Not my tribal categories their hearts definitely un-identical (other races have different hearts). Annan capable of using robustly massive. Yet unable to uniquely massive!"
This words a single exiting. Elder Qi shutting his mouth un-speaking.
Hall Officials taking their gazes throwing toward Emperor Ning. Allowed longly after. Emperor Ning slowly, slowly opening his mouth: "Elder Qi. Refute dropping Annan's national books. Separately acting sealing granting (rewarding)."
Elder Qi cupped his hands said: "Minister guarding edicts."
Emperor Ning again speaking saying: "Drafting edicts. Jiaozhi Provincial Administration Commissioner Yang Xun peacefully rebelling possessing merits. Promoting promoting Ministry of War Right Vice Minister concurrently Chief Surveillance Bureau Right Assistant Censor-in-Chief. Director-General of Yunnan-Guizhou, Two Guangs, Jiaozhi military affairs. Sealing Pingnan Count. Capable of Perpetual Inheritance. Bestowing python robes Jade Belt. Adding sealing Grand Master for Assisting Governance."
Hall Officials mutually gazing a single glance. Ning Dynasty wheeling merits possessing six items. Opening nation, peacefully difficulties, capturing rebels, peacefully foreigners, defending enemies, punitive expeditions against barbarians.
But this array sealing granting Yang Xun acting as brightly promoting actually transferring (a nominal promotion but actual demotion). Yang Xun although adding sealing uniquely honored. Yet wanting to return arriving at Capital City stripping separating holding troops solid rights. In order to avoid tail massive un-dropping (becoming too difficult to control).
But Yang Xun lacking methods to refuse absolutely. This array transferring returning to Capital City. Simply possessing dropping entering the Cabinet's possibly capable. Only uniquely entering dropping the Cabinet. The Yang Family only then possesses opportunities to cast throwing (shake off) the Xu Family.
People multitudes center. Yang Xun's spirit emotions excitedly soaring. Kneeling prostrate at ground: "Thanking His Majesty sagely grace."
Emperor Ning once again speaking saying: "Transmit edicts. Qi Xianshu transferring appointed Jiaozhi Provincial Administration Commissioner. Concurrently Annan Provincial Administration Commissioner."
Qi Xianshu shockingly startled looking toward his father Elder Qi. Elder Qi slightly dotting his head. He exactly simply kneeling prostrate at ground: "Minister. Guarding edicts."
Emperor Ning fatiguedly waving and waving hands. Turning his body toward deep palaces center walking to go: "Withdraw descending right."
Wu Xiu standing at Renshou Palace front in a bright sound said: "Today matters finishing. If still possessing matters capable of presenting ascending reports sparse. If lacking matters. Simply inviting you all returning to each self yamen offices right."
Hall Officials departing opening Renshou Palace. Elder Chen crossing passing Chen Ji's body side's time hadn't anew looked at him. Slowly and leisurely walking already.
Waiting until Renshou Palace front emptily oscillatingly (completely empty). Bai Long arriving at Chen Ji face front. Measuring and assessing holding his this single body of primary red-colored official clothing: "The Inner Chancellor responding identically your matters already done arriving at already. Not discussing passing paths. This simply is eyes beneath uniquely unifying capable of causing Bai Li to cast difficulties's methods. This Seat giving you Seven Days of timing to scheme and manage silver money. Seven Days's after Imperial Music Bureau Vermilion Steps Great Music Hall. Capable or incapable of carrying away her. Simply is your own's matters already."
"Know already."
Chen Ji turning his body grand strides departing to go.
