Chapter 348 The price of the emperor (please subscribe)

PreviousBack to directoryNext
When Qing Xuzi entered the Zhenghe Hall, a large group of imperial guards and imperial guards were rushing out from the collapsed gate, driving away the onlookers outside the imperial city.

Whether they were court officials or martial arts cultivators, they were all driven away.

None of the people watching the battle dared to stay, and they dispersed in an instant.

These forbidden troops are extremely overbearing. As long as the Jianghu martial arts cultivators stay for a moment, a hail of arrows will rain down on them.

When those court officials took a second look inside the palace gate, they saw someone holding a court staff and an iron whip and beating them away mercilessly.

The imperial court and the emperor had nothing to do with Wuxiang Shenzong and Li Changsheng, but they were not polite to them.

"What are you looking at? All the idle people, get out of here!"

"Li Yuesan, why don't you try it on the roof again? Aren't you called an eight-legged spider? Do you believe I can tear off all your spider legs?"

"All officials should return to their respective offices! No unauthorized actions or private discussions are allowed before noon. Otherwise, they will be punished for misconduct, disrespect, and evil talk!"

"People from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple are coming with me. The head of the Wuxiang Shen Sect will meet with the Emperor today. According to Taizu's "Da Ning Collection of Rites", the head of the First Grade Shen Sect is the same as the prince! As etiquette officials, we cannot be neglectful."

"Your Majesty has a decree! Since your Majesty took the throne, the protection of the Imperial City has been lax for a long time. Today, your Majesty specially used the hands of the Wuxiang Sect Master to test it. He warned the Imperial Palace Supervisor and the Imperial Army that the people in the city do not need to panic."

"I'm telling you, don't talk nonsense after you leave! Otherwise, the royal court's laws are specially designed for you!"

As all the Jianghu martial arts cultivators ran away in panic, they all shook their heads.

They all felt that the court and the emperor were extremely shameless.

All the palace gates were shattered and collapsed, and several first-grade heavenly ranking officials in the palace were seriously injured. Even the emperor himself seemed to be seriously injured after the fight with Li Changsheng just now.

——This is actually the emperor who specially invited Wuxiang Sect Master to break into the palace in order to strengthen the palace defense?

Do they think they can silence everyone in the world like this?

This is simply a cover-up!

The turmoil on the ground did not affect the sky.

The Imperial Guards and Imperial Guards all turned a blind eye to the dozens of people on the Heavenly List suspended in the air and let them go.

The 'lawless' Si Weilai, who was hanging in the void, also paid no attention to the imperial army and the imperial guards below.

"This really doesn't look like Li Changsheng."

She looked into the depths of the palace with a look of surprise and uncertainty; "I have met Li Changsheng several times in the past. Although this man is a rare outstanding person in the world, he is as hidden as a man and as wise as a fool. It is unimaginable that this man will be so sharp today -

"

Si could not remember that the leader of the Wuxiang Sect was not only sinister, but also extremely evil.

Wang Dongtian, who was standing nearby with his hands on his back, said indifferently: "It must be because of the Shenwang Sword, right? I have heard about the power of this sword. It is said that it comes from the 'Wuxiang Sacred Legend' of Wuxiang Sect, and it can kill people."

Any skill that rises to several realms can also simulate any heavenly law or strengthen it. This sword is powerful, but the price is that the user will be arrogant and arrogant."

The so-called formlessness is the true form of reality, also called the true and wonderful way. It is the source of heaven and earth, the essence of everything in the world, the sect of all dharmas, the master of the nine orifices, and the foundation of life and death, so it can imitate all dharmas.

"Impossible!" Si Feng shook his head and looked puzzled: "It's not like Li Changsheng has never used the Divine Sword before. You have never seen him. His Taoist heart is so strong that he may be unique in the world! He will be

It will be affected by the Divine Sword, but it will not be affected too much."

"oh?"

Wang Dongtian couldn't help but fell into meditation: "Then I may have guessed something. There are roughly two reasons. One is reverse scales. Dragons have reverse scales and phoenixes have empty necks. If they touch them, they will die. It should be some actions of the imperial court that touched his body.

The bottom line is that it has violated the foundation of the Wuxiang Divine Sect. The second is to intimidate, to intimidate the world and show strength."

"Showing strength?" Si couldn't think about it.

"Si Beng, you haven't managed the power, so you don't understand." Wang Dongtian smiled: "In the past, the world was peaceful, so the Wuxiang Shen Sect naturally needed to curb its edge and hide its capabilities and bide its time to avoid being targeted by all parties; now that the world is in chaos, Ji Dongbing

The city's army is coming from the west and is about to land. The Wuxiang Shenzong needs to show its strength in turn so that all forces in the world dare not invade and avoid unnecessary conflicts and losses."

He then looked at the depths of the palace with great emotion: "But this man's power is too astonishing. It's just a sword! How powerful is Emperor Jianyuan's Emperor's Sword and the Nine Dragon God's Heavenly Guard? The secret method of the emperor's way gathers hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

Qi, blood and essence, even those super-grade ones that cannot come out of the world, need to stay away when encountering them.

I am afraid that you and I are not the enemies of Emperor Jianyuan, but he is now unable to catch Li Changsheng's sword. Today's battle will surely shock the world. This Wuxiang Sect Master is the real number one in the world.

——”

"It's just about restraint. Li Changsheng is very strong, but not strong enough to suppress the super-class. It's just his way of balance that can completely defeat Emperor Jianyuan's Ying Gong Body. Whether it's his Emperor Sword, the Nine Dragon God's Sky Guard, or

Even the secret method of the Imperial Way is vulnerable to Li Changsheng."

Si couldn't squint his eyes with a cold look: "On the other hand, Emperor Jianyuan should not be underestimated. A few years ago, when I heard that this man killed the red dragon and cut off the Daning Dragon Vein, I felt that his actions were ridiculous and he had already lost his mind.

.

Now it seems that this is a big mistake. I didn't expect that he had already stepped into the first rank and usurped the "Guiyi" of the Tieshan Qin family and the "Wanxiang" of the Chu family! He acted in a very orderly manner, and his great power had already surpassed the great power of the Qin family.

Ning Taizu has many people. What he lacks now is just time. He only needs to integrate these powers into one. Who in the world is his opponent?"

With Emperor Jianyuan's cultivation and strength, he could have created another dragon vein for Daning before he abdicated.

Most of the monarchs after the "Xuanhuang First Emperor" had short lifespans.

Emperor Jianyuan should have been approaching his twilight years.

But since this person has a first-level cultivation level, he can live for at least a hundred years——

Therefore, even though Daning's dragon veins are broken, the country's destiny is far from declining. Instead, it will rise to the extreme in these more than a hundred years.

"I heard that decades ago, there was a brilliant magician who divined the fate of the country in Daning. He once left a prophecy, saying that Qin and Chu would be good, and the sun would rise to the west. Coincidentally, the king's tomb is exactly where Wang is.

To the west of Ancheng, at the foot of the western hillside. Her ghostly betrothed husband is none other than Chu Zheng, the last bloodline of the Chu family in the west of Beijing. Perhaps this prophecy should be attributed to Emperor Jianyuan."

Wang Dongtian smiled with a sarcastic look in his eyes: "Your Majesty has a big plan, but there is no need to worry too much. You have not seen the major divine sects today, you have not seen them yet, and you have not interfered with the changes in the palace today? And the Confucian sect?

Are you still here, turning a blind eye or not hearing Li Changsheng's attempt to break into the palace?"

Si couldn't seem to understand.

For tens of thousands of years, the major divine sects and the Shenzhou dynasty have checked and balanced each other. Even in troubled times, there is no way that one family can dominate.

There is also the "Confucianism" that brings together the world's literati and aristocratic families.

They controlled the place, not only had the power to compete with other sects, but also restrained the emperors of the past dynasties.

However, today, these forces have not appeared.

Isn’t the reason behind it thought-provoking?

※※※※

In the Zhenghe Hall, although Li Changsheng restrained his murderous intent with his sword, the atmosphere here was still as cold as ice.

When Li Changsheng walked into the palace, he waved his sleeves and attracted the earth and stones in front of the imperial steps to form a grand master's chair, and then he sat down on the chair.

Several high-ranking officials of the imperial court who came in after him saw this, but they didn't take it seriously and didn't say a word.

According to the etiquette and laws established by Taizu Daning, the heads of all major divine sects are the same as princes.

The Wuxiang Divine Sect is also the leader of the Divine Sect in the world, so Li Changsheng's status is bound to be half a level higher than the others.

So if you really think about it, there is nothing wrong with this guy knocking on the palace and forcing his way into the forbidden city today.

According to the decree of Taizu Daning, the heads of the major divine sects have the right to visit the emperor at any time.

Besides, now is not the time to discuss etiquette.

The power of the imperial court is inferior to that of others. At this time, talking about Daning etiquette and imperial regulations with Li Changsheng is not asking for self-humiliation.

This time, Li Changsheng did not deliberately use the Heavenly Sword to level Emperor Jianyuan on the throne to the same height as himself.

After this battle, how could the emperor be qualified to watch him from a high place?

Looking at the whole world, there are very few people who can look down upon him.

Li Changsheng looked relieved and said with a smile: "It turns out that the palace eunuchs are the ones who make decisions, so how are you going to deal with it?"

Emperor Jianyuan on the throne was graceful and composed. Except for his pale face, there was almost no abnormality: "So, the sect master, what do you think should be done with this person? I am here to ask for your favor on his behalf.

Zong Daban has been in charge of the Dauchi Palace Supervisor for decades. During this period, he has resisted and defused no less than twenty assassinations for me. He has also personally killed more than thirty demons on the blood list, and also killed many demons that have brought trouble to the world. His achievements are great.

Hehe. I must have seen that I am tired today and have been protecting the master wholeheartedly. Please forgive me, sect master."

Qianliu of Benyi Juechen Sect was slightly moved, but without saying a word, he bowed deeply to Emperor Jianyuan.

Li Changsheng couldn't help but feel emotional again.

As expected of Jianyuan——

The hero after Taizu Taizu of Daning and Emperor Taizong.

I have met my opponent.

He regretted not killing this person with just one finger.

However, the attitudes of the five major divine sects, seventeen second-level sects, and the Confucian sect of the world cannot be ignored.

Before the world is in chaos, the Wuxiang Divine Sect cannot lightly revive the source of chaos, otherwise it will make all the people resentful and suffer backlash from the world.

At that time, even if the Wuxiang Divine Sect was protected by the Wood Sword Immortal, it would inevitably be destroyed.

This is to blame God and have nothing to pray for.

Emperor Jianyuan killed nine red dragons and severed his own dragon veins. Isn't this a threat?

Once this person dies, Daning will surely perish and the world will return to chaos.

This emperor takes all the people in the world as hostages and uses them to hold all parties hostage.

In previous years, the worst possible outcome would have been to change the emperor. There were so many people in the Daning clan, and they could choose as they pleased.

However, now, the six great divine sects have no choice but to take action.

The murderous intention in Li Changsheng's heart was almost unstoppable.

As long as Emperor Jianyuan is still alive, the Wuxiang Divine Sect will have endless troubles.

Then he thought of Chu Xisheng.

If it was a year ago, he would definitely choose a suitable time and method to die together with Emperor Jianyuan, and eliminate the trouble of disaster for Wuxiang Shenzong.

And now——

Li Changsheng calmed down and said, "This man has done some good for the peace of the world, otherwise Li would have taken his life. However, this man has such a crazy temperament, which is a disaster rather than a blessing to the court. No matter how eager to protect the Lord,

Don't ignore the rules of the court, let alone the will of the master. If he dares to make his own opinions now, won't he have the courage to falsely preach the imperial edict in the future?

I have two ideas. One is to ask Your Majesty to depose this person and exile him to the frontier for the crime of being disrespectful and obstructing the inside and outside. The other is to send this person to Bingzhou in the northern region to join the army and be nailed to Zhenhun by our Wuxiang Shenzong.

Ding, responsible for monitoring. This person must either serve thirty years of hard labor in the North, or kill three first-level giant spirits, or demons, otherwise he will not be allowed to return to the south of the Cliff Mountains."

As soon as he said this, Emperor Jianyuan's facial muscles twitched slightly.

The other people in the hall were relieved.

Li Changsheng is willing to let it go, which means that there is no need to fight to the death today, and there is something to talk about.

"good!"

Emperor Jianyuan did not bargain and agreed decisively: "According to the wishes of the sect leader, from now on, Zong Qianliu will be deprived of the post of supervisor of the inner palace and sent to the border areas to serve under General Anbei. In the memory of the past monarchs and ministers

Out of love, I will give you the 'Super Light Sword' that was once part of Emperor Taizong's army. I hope that the Emperor's companion will work sincerely in the Northern Territory and make special achievements early."

Zong Qianliu couldn't help but feel slightly trembling.

The 'Super Light Sword' is a soldier of Taizong, and its rank is close to the half-step super level.

This sword was usually provided to the Imperial Ancestral Temple. Emperor Jianyuan would only give this sword to him when he encountered a strong enemy in the imperial court or there was a demon that needed to be killed.

Zong Qianliu's face flushed, with tears in his eyes, he kowtowed again and said: "I will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty. It may take ten years or five years, and I will definitely return to His Majesty's presence."

Li Changsheng didn't pay much attention to Emperor Jianyuan's drama of winning over his subordinates.

Any first-grade martial artist in the human race is extremely precious.

For example, the first rank on today's list is only over seventy.

Even if we include those who remain hidden in the world, as well as the major sects and the first-class people who have faded away from the world, the number does not exceed one hundred and twenty.

The first-level combat power is slightly more, such as Qingxuzi, who is at the second-level cultivation level, but his strength is already at the bottom of the Heavenly Ranking.

Most of these people are in the north, either on the front line against the giant spirits, or they have gone to Middle-earth to pursue their martial arts.

There are actually not many people staying in China, only thirty or fifty people.

In addition, they also used various methods to control some first-class aliens.

But this power is still too weak compared to the four sacred mountains of the giant spirit.

Today’s China is even unable to fight against a ‘Buzhou Mountain’.

If it were not for the internal power of the giant spirits to contain them, only one Night Wolf Clan could compete with them, and one 'Buzhou Mountain' could conquer Shenzhou.

Li Changsheng didn't care whether Zong Qianliu was still loyal to the royal family. As long as he could get rid of the three first-level giant spirits, the pressure on the Wuxiang Shen Sect would be greatly reduced.

This is one for three, which is still a good deal.

"Then what's the reason why the imperial court used the Black Cloud Wuchang Army to attack and kill the Holy Legend of Wuxiang Shenzong?"

Li Changsheng sneered: "Could it be that someone else is good at making opinions? Abusing power for personal gain?"

He glanced at the crowd behind him.

At this time, in addition to the inner court figures headed by the Grand Chamberlain Zhen Tianlai, other important officials of the second rank and above from the imperial court also gathered here.

Among them was Chu Tulai, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment and the head of the Chu family in the west of Beijing.

He was stared at by Li Changsheng, and his pupils shrank slightly.

This matter cannot be handled by Benyi Juechen Sect Qianliu alone.

Zong Qianliu took responsibility for the emperor's refusal to see Li Changsheng, so he could no longer take responsibility for the case.

Li Changsheng first convicted Zong Qianliu.

The purpose is to challenge Chu Tathagata.

Then he walked out of the crowd without changing his expression: "Sect Master, Mr. Chu knows a little bit about this matter. This matter should be related to an old case in Dongzhou. Years ago, Sikong Chan, the magistrate of Xiushui County, colluded with the local gentry to rebel.

, was discovered and eliminated by the Governor of Dongzhou.

However, the Six Doors Zhuque Hall had doubts about the case, believing that Sikong Chan had been framed and that it involved Chu Xisheng, a disciple of the noble sect. This person was once forced to rebel by Sikong Chan and committed many murders during the period, so he killed the arrest of the Zhuque Hall.

There were more than a dozen people in the first place. So Suzaku Hall has been persevering in investigating the case."

This matter had little to do with him, so Chu Rulai looked calm: "A few days ago, Chu has submitted all the files on Xiushui County's rebellion case to Dali Temple for closure. However, Zhuquehou refused to give up. He believed that the key lies with Chu Xi.

Sheng Yishen. In view of the lack of manpower and strength in Zhuque Hall, we privately contacted the Superintendent of the Zhidian Palace and asked the Zhidian Supervisor to take action to arrest Chu Xisheng and bring him to trial."

This was the excuse they prepared in advance to deal with the Wuxiang Shenzong's accountability afterwards.

Superintendent Ouchi Naoden even obtained an official document from Suzaku Hall requesting assistance.

At this time, Marquis Zhuque was also in the Zhenghe Hall.

He is about thirty years old, with handsome features and a feminine temperament.

After hearing this, his eyes immediately widened and he glared at Chu Tathagata: "Chu Tathagata, you——"

Then he thought of the official document he handed over with his own hands, and his face paled slightly.

At that time Chu Tathagata offered him advice and suggestions.

Marquis Zhuque knew that this move would deeply offend the Wuxiang Divine Sect, but he didn't care much about it.

The Six Gates have never been afraid of these great Shenzong sects, let alone the Wuxiang Shenzong now that Su Fengdao has been forced to retire?

However, today Li Changsheng broke into the palace and defeated the entire Daning inner court with a devastating force, but the official document signed by him personally became the source of great disaster for Suzaku Hall.

“Is this happening??”

Li Changsheng withdrew his gaze, glanced at the calm Emperor Jianyuan on the throne, and then looked at the leader of the six gates in the crowd, the contemporary 'Beichen Divine Marquis' Cardinal Beichen.

"Then Li, please ask Shenhou Beichen, do you have any real evidence that the six sects want to arrest my disciples of Wuxiang Shen Sect? Is there any official document from the imperial court?"

Cardinal Beichen frowned, then smiled bitterly and said: "No."

Chu Tathagata bowed and said, "The Ministry of Punishment reviewed the case of Sikong Chan's rebellion a few months ago at the request of Marquis Zhuque. There are complete witnesses and material evidence, and the case has been finalized in Dali Temple. There is no doubt about it."

Originally it existed, but I heard that it disappeared after Mu Jianxian became enlightened.

There won't be any now.

Marquis Baihu was also among the crowd. When she heard this, she couldn't help but feel cold in her heart.

She had foreseen that the Suzaku Marquis would pay the price for his negligence.

The relationship between her and Marquis Zhuque was actually not very good, and there were frequent disagreements in official matters.

But after all, the two parties are colleagues and have worked together for many years.

The White Tiger Marquis could not help but feel sad that the rabbit died and the fox died.

She could understand that Marquis Zhuque, he just wanted to seek justice for the dead brothers of the Six Sects, and wanted to convict Chu Xisheng, the real culprit.

It's a pity that this person has lost his respect for the rules and the methods he used have gone beyond the limit.

In the past, even if Marquis Suzaku did this, others would have no choice but to do anything to him.

However, today, the leader of the Wuxiang Sect came over like a mountain.

"That means you Six Sects are acting arbitrarily and abusing your power?"

Li Changsheng saw that both Cardinal Beichen and the Four Elephant Gods of the Six Gates were speechless, so he turned to look at Emperor Jianyuan: "The imperial court must give me an explanation for this matter from the Wuxiang Divine Sect!"

Emperor Jianyuan was a man of good deeds. His face was solemn and majestic, and he nodded slightly: "This matter really needs to be severely punished! It is not to give an explanation to the noble sect, but to safeguard the laws of our dynasty. The six gates are in charge of arrests, inspections, prisons, public security and other matters.

Responsible for advance warning and ordering the world, his power and responsibilities are second only to the Ministry of War. As the leader of the six sects, how can Marquis Zhuque know the law and break it?

If the people in the six gates do not abide by the laws of the court, what about the common people? How can all the states in the world be stable? What's more, the turmoil in the palace today was all caused by Marquis Suzaku taking power. Even I was killed by the sect leader because of him.

Blame.”

Many important ministers in the hall, including the Taifu and Taibao, all nodded their heads after hearing this.

In their eyes, Marquis Zhuque was indeed the culprit and the source of the trouble.

If it weren't for the Liumen Zhuquehou's arrogant behavior, how could Li Changsheng come to the house to question the crime, causing serious injuries to more than 10,000 soldiers of the Forbidden Army, and severely damaging the reputation and authority of the emperor and the court?

If the emperor does not punish this person severely, it will be difficult for even them to be convinced.

Emperor Jianyuan changed his tone at this time: "However, considering the past achievements of Marquis Zhuque, death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be escaped. Sect Master, it is better to follow the example of Zong Qianliu before and send this person to Northern Xinjiang without any reason.

The Xiangshen Sect is responsible for monitoring. This person must either serve thirty years of hard labor in the North, or kill three second-grade giant spirits to atone for his previous sins."

His relationship with the Six Doors is actually relatively distant.

The six doors were handed down from the previous dynasties and have existed for tens of thousands of years, even dating back to the time of Emperor Xuanhuang.

Therefore, the six gates are relatively independent in the court system.

Emperor Jianyuan also didn't like the character of Marquis Zhuque, but he was willing to keep an enemy of the Wuxiang Shenzong.

This is what Li Changsheng had in mind.

If Zhuquehou is placed in Wang'anjing, he will threaten Chu Xisheng, but if he is used in the north, he will be a good man.

He did not agree immediately, but instead looked at Cardinal Beichen from a distance: "As far as I know, the purple-clothed God Capture Zhuang Mingdao, a third-rank man from the Six Gates, a third-rank martial artist, has outstanding achievements, is shrewd and capable, and is an excellent candidate to inherit the Suzaku Mansion.

"

‘Beichen Shenhou’ Cardinal Beichen knew in his heart that this was the condition Li Changsheng offered, and it was the condition to keep Suzaku Hou alive.

The Purple-clothed God Catcher Zhuang Mingdao mentioned by Li Changsheng is the true disciple of the Wuxiang Divine Sect.

The Wuxiang Shen Sect actually has many disciples serving in the six sects.

He thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "Zhuang Mingdao's martial arts and character are indeed excellent. As long as we find out that this person has no bad deeds, I will personally recommend him to inherit the title of Suzaku Marquis."

Cardinal Beichen had no objection to this matter.

Their six gates have long been infiltrated into a sieve by the emperor, aristocratic families and major sects.

And in recent years, due to the emperor's intentional or unintentional suppression, the six sects have been quite unfair to the disciples of the Wuxiang Shen Sect and have repeatedly suppressed them.

Now that Li Changsheng had used his supreme divine power to defeat the inner court and trample the emperor's face to the ground, the six gates should naturally understand the current affairs.

In Cardinal Beichen's view, as long as the chief arrester and the many divine arresters in the sect can fulfill their duties and fulfill their duties, it doesn't matter who they are.

"good!"

A smile finally appeared on Li Changsheng's face: "This time, the Great Nei Zhi Palace Prisoner set up an ambush in Guixu, seriously injuring my disciples, consuming dozens of jade talismans, breaking several precious magic weapons, and countless precious elixirs.

He just managed to survive, and there needs to be an explanation for this matter."

He has gotten everything he wants, and now it's time to demand compensation for Chu Xi.
