Chapter 515.4: Returning in Triumph, Sacrificing Blood to the Heavens

Daxian w.a.n.g fixedly stared at Le Cheng Emperor. At a certain moment, he suddenly began laughing out loud. It wasnt the despair and unwillingness to accept when nearing death, but rather delight, even carrying a bit of pleasure at anothers misfortune. Daxian w.a.n.g could tell, the current Le Cheng Emperor, in reality, completely wasnt his own sons opponent. During the trip from the northwest to Qi Yuans capital city, Daxian w.a.n.g probably also thought things through. Falling to this step, there was nothing to complain about, just feeling a little regretful inside, regretting that he wasnt able to learn about the person that made him like this a little more. If knowing a bit earlier, then perhaps the ending would be different.

Raising the hand, the blade descending, Daxian w.a.n.gs head rolled onto the ground, getting covered in dust. Originally, he should also be grand hero for a generation, just he encountered a scary opponent. It can be said to be born at the wrong time. In the end, he can only die in a foreign land, holding eternal regrets.

Under normal circ.u.mstances, the dead was like a tiger, making one fear. But, because that was an enemy that had committed unforgivable crimes in ones own country, thats why, when the commoners saw, they just felt exceptionally refreshed, loudly cheering.

When the blood sacrifice finished, the imperial familys prestige rose another level. Everyone, the journey has been arduous. This emperor has ordered someone to arrange a banquet in the palace, good wine and good dishes, a welcome reception for you all. For the time being, return home first and wash up.

Thanking your Majesty for the grand honor.

The ones that have a residence in the capital, naturally returned home. As for the rest, all headed for Xishan Barracks to settle down.

Holding a banquet in the palace to entertain the meritorious subjects has already become a custom.

However, Fu Yun Ting kept feeling that Le Cheng Emperors gaze towards him was a bit sinister. Just dont know whether or not this celebration banquet will become a Hongmen Feast

[1]

for him. Similar thoughts flashed through his mind, but Fu Yun Ting didnt mind that much.

The banquet was at night. Even if Le Cheng Emperor was impatient inside, he had already waited that long, so there was no need to rush this moment. As such, he will be a magnanimous emperor.

Of course, Le Cheng Emperor, who temporarily cant do anything to Fu Yun Ting and them, can still learn about the whole story from other channels first, for example Yu Zhong Qing, or Li Su Yan.

As Le Cheng Emperors left wing and right arm, these two that were very much worthy of his trust normally very rarely interacted with one another. At this time, Le Cheng Emperor also separately had them called in to inquire.

Yu Zhong Qing, to a certain degree, just went to protect Jin Qinw.a.n.g. Regarding the northwests war, he cant interfere and also wont interfere. As such, he just said some things regarding Jin Qinw.a.n.gs personal matters. As for everything else, he expressed that he didnt know anything.

TN: All

As such, Le Cheng Emperor also didnt know what to say, waving his hand, letting him go out first.

Li Su Yan, as the Left Captain of the Black Clad Guards, and the next Commander of the Black Clad Guards, Le Cheng Emperor gave him the most important mission. At the time, it was also Li Su Yan that gave Le Cheng Emperor the idea.

Speak. Towards this foster son in name, but in reality, biological son, Le Cheng Emperor never really had him treated as a son. Actually, it was mostly the same as Yu Zhong Qing, a usable and worth trusting subject, which also means that he can be abandoned at anytime.

The imperial favor, if he wants to give, he can just give, and if he doesnt want to give, he can immediately take back.

The northwests news got blocked off, but Li Su Yan wielded the Black Clad Guards and was out of the ordinary to begin with. If he really wanted to pa.s.s on the news, would he really be cornered? Based on this, Le Cheng Emperors complexion was quite unpleasant.

Li Su Yans expression didnt change, kneeling there, appearing very quiet. Thats right, just quiet. For someone like him, who carried very heavy dark currents, his current state was actually very strange.

Just, in Le Cheng Emperors eyes, it didnt feel that strange. Probably, in his eyes, this was normal.

Replying to your Majesty, this humble subject, according to the original plan, had some things tactfully told to Jin Qinw.a.n.g. However, w.a.n.gye didnt believe, believing that this humble subject has hostility towards Fu Yun Ting in certain areas, causing trouble from within. w.a.n.gye said, your Majesty is the esteemed emperor, a hard to come by wise ruler, an enlightened sage. Its impossible for your Majesty to make this kind of absurd decision when the country is facing danger. Even if having some sort of complaint towards Fu Yun Ting, would also chose to deal with after the war, or perhaps change the main commander, and not use this kind of method, disregarding the country and the people.

Hearing this, Le Cheng Emperor felt his face somewhat burning, but because the others all didnt dare to directly look at him, he didnt lose face. Like as if something was stuck in his throat, unable to spit out, unable to swallow, he didnt know whether he should resent his son for messing up the matter, or should be happy that his image in his sons heart was this wise and valiant, or perhaps should feel ashamed that this image does not reflect reality.

Shortly after, w.a.n.gye had this humble subject imprisoned, waiting to return to the capital to hand over to your Majesty to handle.

As for the other black clad guards, because this was no small matter, it naturally was impossible to have the matter told to them, so Li Su Yan could only obediently get locked up. Even if having the opportunity, he also didnt dare to contact Le Cheng Emperor. After all, if by chance its discovered, the emperors image will be completely destroyed, his great reputation also no longer existing. To consider for the emperor as such, Le Cheng Emperor naturally cant blame him.

Speaking of which, its not that Le Cheng Emperor didnt suspect anything. Just, this matter only Li Su Yan knew, so there was no way of investigating.

Why dont you withdraw first. Le Cheng Emperor somewhat powerlessly waved his hand.

Your Majesty, may this humble subject be so bold as to add, after w.a.n.gye returns to the capital, he will certainly try to verify this matter with you. How should this humble subject respond? Asking for your Majesty to clearly indicate. Li Su Yan once again tried to suffocate Le Cheng Emperor.

Le Cheng Emperor had a headache. Indeed, this matter, how should it be handled? That son wasnt easy to trick, and he cant have this matter pushed onto Li Su Yan either. When time comes, regardless of which aspect, on the light side, its getting removed from his post and investigated, and on the heavy side, he will just lose his life. If switch with someone else, Le Cheng Emperor wouldnt mind abandoning, but Li Su Yan was his trusted subject and also his son, incomparably handy when using. The things he ordered, very rarely would there be unsatisfying areas. To meet with mishap because of this kind of groundless accusation, he certainly was unwilling to see. Thats why, to want to preserve Li Su Yan, this excuse not only had to pacify his son, he also cant have himself implicated. Just thinking about it made his head want to split in pain.

Why dont you withdraw first. This matter, this emperor will handle.

Yes, this humble subject will take ones leave. Li Su Yan left exceptionally carefreely.

Le Cheng Emperor knew that Li Hong Yuan went to the estate. Originally, he still impatiently wanted to meet, but at this time, he didnt think this anymore. Just, it seemingly was already too late. Previously, hed already ordered someone to have his son called over.

The living Enma that was devoted to s.c.r.e.w.i.n.g over his father, after seeing the people Le Cheng Emperor sent, also quite gave face, just leaving with them.

After returning to the capital, Li Hong Yuan first had Jing Wan sent back to Jin Qinw.a.n.g Manor, afterwards entering the palace alone.

After Le Cheng Emperor saw his son, it was all kinds of showing concern, conveying a fathers care towards his son. Regarding Li Hong Yuans disappearance and such, he didnt mention a single word. After all, as long as its mentioned, the matter he wants to hide will also get dragged out.

Li Hong Yuan had an understanding inside. If Le Cheng Emperor doesnt say, he also wont mention, appearing exceptionally considerate. Just, that gaze seemingly appeared exceptionally dark. It was as if he knew everything, but because Le Cheng Emperor was his father, some things, although he saw through, he wont point out. At least, on the surface, he will preserve his face.

Le Cheng Emperor felt stifled inside. If its really like this, then this son had deliberately ruined his plans, yet he wasnt able to say anything. In his eyes, this son just believed that he disliked Fu Yun Ting, but didnt know the deeper reasoning.

If imperial father has nothing else, this son will just take ones leave. After saying this, Li Hong Yuan just directly brushed his sleeves and left.

Le Cheng Emperor could only watch, watching his son exit the doorway and disappear.

Towards his own suspicions, Le Cheng Emperor couldnt go verify.

The banquet at night was a welcoming reception and also a celebration. The many t.i.tled imperial princes certainly will also partic.i.p.ate, as well as the high ministers of the court, all cant be missing. Of course, this kind of banquet, the womenfolk certainly wont appear.

At the beginning of the banquet, Le Cheng Emperor said quite a few seemingly motivational words, giving absolute recognition to everyone. However, in reality, it was just high-sounding, bribing the heart. The ones that were in the know, all had an understanding inside. But, at this time, no one would go argue. The army returning in triumph, regardless of what, was all something very much worth rejoicing over.

Just when Le Cheng Emperor was preparing to bestow rewards to the generals, Fu Yun Ting stood out first.

At this time, he had already changed out of his armor, wearing an exquisite brocade gown, appearing solemn just like an elegant n.o.ble gentleman. As the main commander of the army that returned in triumph, this kind of attire truly was somewhat strange. However, Fu Yun Ting did just this, unknown as to what his aim was.

Hongmen Feast

A banquet arranged for an a.s.sa.s.sination, reference to the Feast at Hongmen in 206BC where Xiang Yu attempted to a.s.sa.s.sinate Liu Bang, who eventually became the founding emperor of Han Dynasty in 202BC.
