Facing Emperor Tianwu's anger, Jun Jiuchen didn't have much emotion on his face other than respect.
He thanked him, got up and began to explain.
"The worry in the heart of the father is taken into consideration. In the eyes of the minister, the case of Baili Mingchuan not only involves my Tianyan, but also involves Shennonggu. Buying Shennonggu pharmacists and stealing Shennonggu's treasures The medicine, this crime is not small... "
When Jun Jiuchen said this, Emperor Tianwu was surprised, he obviously didn't think about it.
Jun Jiuchen continued, "I have gained a lot from this trip to Shennonggu, and I had a great conversation with the old deacon of Shennonggu. Without Shennonggu's help, I might not be able to find the fox's den in Baili Mingchuan so quickly."
Jun Jiuchen didn't say much after finishing his point. Emperor Tianwu roughly understood Jun Jiuchen's intentions, he stroked his beard and began to think.
Now that Shennonggu knew about this case, if he continued to suffer from being dumb, wouldn't it make Shennonggu look down on his Jun family? Furthermore, with such a big matter, Shennonggu must not be able to hide it, nor will it. Instead of letting Shennonggu denounce Baili Mingchuan and Wanjin Kingdom, why don't they make a statement first to show the dignity of the royal family? He can also take this opportunity to meet and make friends with the old deacon of Shennonggu, and even the owner of the valley.
Furthermore, if because of this incident, if Tianyan Kingdom really started a war with Wanjin Kingdom, the Baichu Kingdom in the west would not dare to act rashly. Baichu State and Wanjin State are allies, but they will not offend Shennonggu for the sake of Wanjin State. In this case, Baichu would either be neutral, or he would act as a peacemaker and try to persuade him to make peace.
Emperor Tianwu nodded while thinking. The more he thought about it, the more he recognized Jun Jiuchen's idea.
Seeing that his father's attitude had changed, Jun Jiuchen continued to speak.
"The reward order has been issued. According to my son, I should take this opportunity to send troops to the eastern border and discuss an explanation with the Baili royal family."
Emperor Tianwu nodded immediately, "It's a good idea!"
Without the threat of Baichu in the west, Tianyan's strength is more than enough to deal with Wanjin Kingdom alone. With the deterrence of Tianyan's troops and the suppression of Shennonggu's prestige, it is unlikely that the Wanjin Kingdom will mobilize troops and will only calm things down.
Seeing that his father had not only lost his anger, but also seemed to be happy, a look of complexity flashed across Jun Jiuchen's eyes.
This year, he clearly felt that his seriously ill father was much less shrewd than before.
Using Shennonggu's power to suppress Wan Jin's move, with his father's shrewdness, he should have figured it out!
He was indeed abducted last night because of Gu Feiyan, and he was restless. However, his mistake was not to catch Baili Mingchuan, and to arrest Baili Mingchuan, for him, he killed two birds with one stone.
First, it maintained the dignity of the Jun family; second, it also reminded Baili Mingchuan to see the situation clearly and take care of his only bargaining chip, Gu Feiyan!
Emperor Tianwu's anger has dissipated long ago, replaced by joy, "Hehe, Chen'er, old father, you are still considerate!"
Jun Jiuchen said lightly, "My son should have entered the palace first to report."
Emperor Tianwu waved his hand, expressing that he would not pursue further. He muttered to himself, "The troops stationed in Eastern Xinjiang are all soldiers from the Qi family. This matter..."
Since Wan Jin is to be intimidated by troops in the eastern border, it is necessary to have important generals in charge.
But now, the charges against Princess Huaining and Qi Fufang have not yet been determined, and the joint and several responsibilities of the Qi family have not yet been investigated. The members of the Qi family were all banned in Jinyang City, and the Ministry of War is still investigating the bribery case in the West Army Camp.
It's not easy.
Emperor Tianwu thought about it, and Jun Jiuchen said, "In this case, according to my son, Huaining and the young lady of the Qi family are being used by others after all, why not let the Qi family pay for their crimes? First, it shows the benevolence of the royal family. Second, General Qi has lived in Jinyang City for a long time, and he has not yet been on the battlefield alone, so it is time to go to the border to practice and practice!"
Jun Jiuchen's words are simply too flattering for Emperor Tianwu.
Emperor Tianwu loved and hated the Qi family, and he was defensive and wanted to use it again. Princess Huaining and Qi Fufang made such a big mess, and he is so worried that he still hasn't weighed it and come up with a perfect solution. Hearing Jun Jiuchen's words, he basically had an idea in his heart.
He looked at Jun Jiuchen, and asked earnestly, "Huai Ning is the mastermind in this case, demoted Huai Ning to the common people and gave Qi Yu a marriage, appointed Qi Yu as a general, and ordered him to go to the eastern border. How?"
As soon as these words came out, Xia Xiaoman's eyes suddenly brightened, and he was happy. He suddenly felt that His Highness's real purpose of making such a big circle was not the high-sounding reasons just mentioned, but to deal with the Qi family and the eldest prince's party!
Jun Jiuchen was still calm, and replied, "Both kindness and might, father is wise!"
"In this palace, Huai Ning is my favorite."
Emperor Tianwu sighed, while still paying attention to Jun Jiuchen, as if he wanted to find some clues from his face, so as to figure out his thoughts.
"I can condone her playfulness, but I will never condone her bad reputation of the royal family. Delegating her to a commoner this time is considered a light punishment. If someone commits another crime in the future, no matter who it is, the emperor will never forgive her lightly!"
Emperor Tianwu's words actually had a double purpose, not only to remind Jun Jiuchen not to spend his time on Gu Feiyan, but also to warn the big royal family and the Qi family who were spreading rumors behind them.
He is afraid that he will never know that it is actually Jun Jiuchen who spread the most rumors behind his back.
Xia Xiaoman stood aside, touched his nose, but didn't dare to raise his head.
Jun Jiuchen still had a calm expression, showing no emotion. He didn't even take the initiative to mention Gu Feiyan, nor did he ask about the "selection of concubines" mentioned by Emperor Tianwu just now.
Emperor Tianwu waited, but in the end he lost his patience and asked, "What do you think about choosing a concubine?"
Jun Jiuchen was still calm, "Father is in charge."
Emperor Tianwu seemed a little satisfied, nodded, and waved his hand to signal Jun Jiuchen to step back.
Not to mention that calm face, Jun Jiuchen's footsteps are calm, neither slow nor hasty. Nothing seemed to disturb his rhythm.
However, not long after he left the Imperial Study Room, his footsteps became obviously a little unsteady. The poison in his body broke out again, and he had to stop taking the medicine. The antidote given by the poison doctor could only temporarily suppress the poison for two hours, and the longer the time went on, the weaker the medicine would be.
After leaving the palace gate, Xia Xiaoman immediately sent the coachman back to the residence, but Jun Jiuchen said coldly, "Go to Dali Temple."
Xia Xiaoman was in a hurry, "Your Highness, your poison has not been cured. You should go back to the mansion to rest. The slave will go over there to guard, and report back as soon as there is news."
Jun Jiuchen didn't make a sound, and the coachman was ordered to leave.
At this time, Mang Zhong arrived, "His Royal Highness, good news! General Cheng just went to interrogate himself, and the interrogation came out. Baili Mingchuan is in the western suburbs, and there are three hiding places! Now the hundred miles outside the city are full of soldiers. , he must be hiding."
Jun Jiuchen asked quickly, "Which three places?"
As soon as Mang Zhong explained the location, Jun Jiuchen said coldly, "Take care of Cheng Yifei, don't let him move without my king's order!"
After saying that, he snatched Mang Zhong's horse and left in a hurry.
"Your Highness! Your Highness! What are you, you..." Xia Xiaoman was angry and impatient. His Highness did not choose to encircle and suppress Cheng Yifei, no doubt because he was afraid that Baili Mingchuan would be provoked and Gu Feiyan would be in danger.
Jun Jiuchen rushed out of the city anxiously, but at this moment, Baili Mingchuan was having dinner with Gu Feiyan.
