Chapter 15: Thunder and Dew
about their situation in Chiyun Mountain. He simply nodded in response, only smiling at his own daughter and saying, "Father is here to pick you up, isn't he"Yè Qīngyǔ sighed: “I’m such a big person,...Jiang Rumuo, as prime minister, was the final buffer between the emperor and the hundred officials.
Because the emperor's word is final, once he speaks there is no room for further discussion.

But Liu Yingqi did not explain much to Jiang Rumuo, only politely requesting a holy judgment. This was like facing Tian Xili with swords, seeking only life and death.
Jiang Ru Mo could also say nothing more.
At this time, Tian Xili remained silent.
No accusations, no rebuttals, no pleas, nothing at all. A stoic silence of resignation.
This is a smart choice.
Liu Yingqi's determination to die, of course, was a step towards killing the enemy, but there was also a meaning in threatening the emperor with death. Liu Yingqi had nothing left, he didn't care about anything else, as long as he and Tian Xili died together.
But he was determined to make a different impression.
Compared to Liu Yingqi now, he did have fear. He was well-dressed and in high office, with almost everything he could desire. How could he not be afraid of death
Then he let his fear become clearer.
He who knows fear is more obedient and submissive.
He, with his own "following," further highlights Liu Yingqi's "going against."
Therefore, under Heaven's might, he remained silent and still, expressing that sentiment with his actions: "I humbly beseech Your Majesty to show discernment."
Similarly, they knelt there, awaiting judgment.
>
He is the true embodiment of acting with impunity!
He had previously acted recklessly and indeed underestimated Liu Yingqi, underestimating his intelligence and courage.
Now the opponent seized the opportunity, directly confronting him in a life-or-death struggle. This ruthless and decisive move was beyond his ability to counter.
But on this chessboard in the state of Qi, Liu Yingqi and his assassins were not just themselves. There existed a will that soared above all else.
Therefore, he simply let go of everything and allowed Emperor Qi to dispose of him.
He didn't believe that an emperor as formidable as Qi would allow his decisions to be influenced by others, even under the threat of death. After all, there's always a reason behind such threats!
Even if the Emperor had truly ordered him and Liu Yingqi to be executed together, the significance of his submissive death would differ greatly from Liu Yingqi's coerced one.
This is the best choice for the Tian family!
The Son of Heaven must always remember the loyalty and obedience of Tian Xi Li! Only then can he retain the hearts of the people.
Everyone is waiting for the emperor's decision.
It involved a hereditary marquis and a hereditary viscount, two prominent families from the State of Qi. No one could make a decision for the Son of Heaven.
The Grand Master, the Empress, the Crown Prince, and all other princes and princesses cannot do this.
But the emperor did not stay silent for long.
His voice sounded as if it descended from the heavens, filled with majesty: "Qingyangzi!"
Jiang Wang, who was silently observing this fight between prominent families, was momentarily stunned.
Who am I What am I doing What should I do
But puzzled as he was, he reacted swiftly, bowing and saying, "Your servant is here!"
"I command you to leave immediately for Dazé County and bring Liu Xiao back."
Qitianzi's voice remained emotionless: "Dare you go"
To subdue a Godly Venerable within the confines of the Inner Palace, especially one who is unyielding and disregards the rules, certainly requires a certain amount of courage.
Because Liu Xiao now probably doesn't care if you are Qingyangzi or some third-rank golden melon warrior!
But Jiang Wang showed no fear, not even a hint of hesitation.
>
“Your Majesty, Heaven's might is upon you. With a single criminal in hand, what would I not dare to do”
He paid only a short visit, without saying a word, and then rose from before the temple, smashing the Azure Cloud Seal with his feet and heading straight for Dazé County!
"Well done!" Chongxuan thought to himself with admiration.

In his view, this mission posed no risk whatsoever. Whether Liu Xiao had killed Tian Anping or not, the man's loyalty to the Fufeng Liu clan was unquestionable. If the Emperor sent someone to apprehend him, and he dared to resist, it would mean risking the safety of the entire Fufeng Liu clan.
Before a possible life-or-death crisis, it is hard for anyone not to hesitate. As the protagonist of today's grand ceremony, Jiang Wang's performance at this moment precisely demonstrates his courage and loyalty, which is very eye-catching.
But for Jiang Wang, in fact, he only asked himself one question: With the emperor personally giving the order, do I have any chance of refusing
The answer was obviously clear. So he took the order without hesitation and set off.
As for weighing the pros and cons, you can do that slowly on your way.
Jiang Wang trampled the azure clouds and ascended, only then did Emperor Daqi, seated upon his dragon throne, speak in a gentle voice: “Duke of Huai, Marquis of Gaichang, come forward.”
When Liu Yingqi asked the emperor for death, the emperor avoided the topic and only ordered someone to arrest Liu Xiao. This in itself is an attitude.
First, the handling of Liu Xiao depends on the final outcome and whether Tian Anping lives or dies.
Secondly, sending Jiang Wang there was precisely to let Liu Yingqi and Tian Xili see clearly.
When it comes to prodigies, Qi has many. Right before our eyes is the number one in the world, who returned victorious after a fierce battle with the top prodigies of all countries at Guanhe Platform.
Therefore, don't think that the death of one Liu Shen Tong is particularly impressive, nor think that having another Tian An Ping in the family makes you incredibly qualified.

Weigh your options carefully!
“Your Majesty, I am eternally grateful for your grace!” After escaping a perilous situation, Tian Xili hurried to kowtow and stand up.
While Liu Yingqi's tears were still fresh, and his forehead, which he had deliberately left unprotected, was already bleeding from a gash, he could not kneel any longer.
He choked back tears and said, "Your servant thanks you!"
The punishment of the Son of Heaven cannot be evaded.
The Emperor's grace cannot be refused!
The two lords stood one after the other on the high platform, and the rest of the ministers and nobles kept a great distance from them as if avoiding a plague god.
"Master of Ceremonies, there has been a lapse in decorum in the palace. What is the appropriate punishment"
The official presiding over the hall bowed and said, "Your Majesty, his crimes are numerous. If Your Majesty shows no mercy, he should be whipped, demoted in rank and stripped of his title, or even put to death!"
The Son of Heaven said: "Hou of Gaochang, Duke Xuanhuai, your ancestors all served the country with merit. I have always remembered this. Today, although you have lost propriety, I shall forgive your death. However, your crime cannot go unpunished. You shall be whipped fifty times as a warning to others!"
The Emperor looked at Cao Jie: “General Cao, I thank you for your service.”
Cao Jie respectfully bowed and said, "Your servant takes your orders!"

Then, he gestured directly to Tian Xili and Liu Yingqi: “Please.”

The emperor's questions were well-known.
He was referring to "disorder before the palace," not "great ceremony disregarded, disrespect to the ancestral temple" as Liu Yingqi had said when he requested death.
>
Because the temple was desecrated, it is an insult to all the former emperors.
From the perspective of rites and laws, the Son of Heaven cannot pardon the crimes of past emperors!
The emperor wished to punish Liu Yingqi and Tian Xili, but did not intend to kill them, hence this question arose.
The official clearly understood the king's intentions.
Tian Xili remained silent. He descended the platform and walked onto the square. He shed his outer robes and then his inner shirt, standing bare-chested before the assembled civil and military officials and the spectators. Then he knelt down.
This is undoubtedly a huge disgrace.
To think of his status, yet to be subjected to such punishment naked before those whose status pales in comparison to his.

But perhaps this was the best outcome, so he accepted it silently, as always.
Liu Yingqi's actions were the same, but his expression was more sorrowful.
Cao Jie strode to the foot of the high platform and extended his hand.

Naturally, someone handed him a wet whip.
This whip is a punishment whip, soaked in stinging water.
This whip is persistently used, and this water pierces like a needle upon contact.
With a flick of his hand, the whip cracked three times in the air, signifying heaven and earth as witnesses and divine beasts as listeners.

Then a whip descended, striking the divinely-possessed Tian Xili, whose cultivation was at the peak of the divine realm, and Liu Yingqi, whose cultivation reached the pinnacle of the outer courtyard. Both were thrown to the ground by this single blow! Their faces twisted in agony, but they managed to hold back their screams.
They gritted their teeth, braced themselves on the ground, and stood up straight.
Before the solemn Taimiao Temple, on the vast square, only the sound of whips echoed.

And the two noble lords, kept falling and struggling to get up.
This pair of sworn enemies, in such circumstances, finally reached a pathetic agreement.atched in all aspects.But in the end, Mr. Qi chose to pass on the position of family head to his son, and with a great stroke of luck, he helped Qi Wen achieve Divine Arrival ahead of schedule, allowi...
