Chapter 412 Angado
The hall was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop, and the atmosphere was unprecedentedly tense. In a moment, Feiyuwei escorted a barefoot Taoist priest tied up into the Qianyang Hall. The Taoist priest's hair was white, but his skin was very smooth, almost invisible. He has wrinkles, is full of energy, and walks steadily, but his specific age cannot be seen. In addition, although this person is tied up, he is very calm and calm, walking leisurely, and his dirty bare feet are especially attractive. Everyone was paying attention, and almost all the officials subconsciously lowered their heads to dodge wherever their gaze passed, especially the one named Li.
When Angatuo saw this, he laughed loudly and chanted loudly: "When he entered the court barefoot in clad clothes, all the officials in the court were frightened. At that time, people did not know Angatuo, and he rode the wind with his sword and traveled across the wilderness."
Originally, all the civil and military officials in the hall were already feeling guilty when they saw Angatuo's childlike appearance, but when they heard him recite these four sentences, their expressions changed slightly. This barefoot Taoist seemed to be a man of real ability.
Gao Bufan secretly praised him, "This Taoist priest can really pretend!"
Of course, being able to pretend is also a skill, and this kind of courage is not something ordinary people can have. You must know that this is the imperial court, the seat of the highest power in the entire Sui Dynasty. When ordinary people come here, they are afraid that they will not even be able to speak. Not to mention loudly mocking all the court officials present.
At this time, Angatuo had already walked to the throne, but stood there proudly without kneeling, and looked at Yang Guang on the throne with a smile.
Yang Guang said expressionlessly: "Why don't the Taoists kneel down when they see me?"
"Why didn't the emperor loosen his bonds after seeing the Taoist priest?" Angatuo asked.
All the civil and military officials present took a breath. They dared to speak to the emperor in such a tone. Are they impatient?
Yang Guang was surprisingly calm, waved his hand and said: "Relax!"
Two Feiyu guards immediately stepped forward and untied the rope from Angatuo's body. The latter moved his hands and feet, bowed his head and saluted and said, "I am a poor man, Angituo, to see the emperor."
Yang Guang frowned and said, "Why don't Taoists kneel down yet?"
Angatuo said leisurely and calmly: "I am an outsider. I kneel to heaven, kneel to the ground, and kneel to the Taoist ancestors of the Sanqing Dynasty. I don't kneel to the world. Although the emperor is a noble person, he is just a mortal."
Yang Guang sneered and said: "I am an ordinary person, could it be that the Taoist priests are immortals from this world?"
"Although Pindao is not an immortal from this world, he is not far away!" Angatuo said boldly.
"Chief Qing, please teach this immortal how to kneel down and worship the emperor." Yang Guang said calmly.
"Yes!" A cold light flashed in Yang Qingruo's hand, and at some point there was a soft sword. Blood splashed everywhere where the sword light passed. Angatuo screamed and fell to his knees on the ground. There was blood on both sides of his legs. The water gushed out, and Ganqing had already been hit by two swords.
All the officials present were shocked, and at the same time their eyes were a little confused, not knowing what kind of medicine the emperor was selling in his gourd.
Gao Bufan couldn't help but be shocked. He thought that this Angatuo was deliberately arranged by Yang Guang to borrow a knife to kill people, so he dared to be so arrogant. But now it seems that is not the case. It turns out that this Taoist priest is really arrogant, but his ability is too much. It's so bad, you can't even resist Qingruo's two swords? This time you are really pretending to be stupid!
I saw Taoist An kneeling on the ground and moaning continuously, his face was pale, and his two calves were stained red with blood. He looked as embarrassed as he wanted, and his immortality was completely gone in an instant. Li Yuan was inexplicably relieved when he saw this. It seems that this person is just a good person with a lot of appearance and appearance, but no real ability!
Yang Guang frowned, not sure whether he was dissatisfied with the Taoist priest's pretentiousness or because he was dissatisfied with Yang Qingruo's excessive attack, but asked: "Has the Taoist priest learned to kneel down and worship the emperor?"
Angatuo originally wanted to pretend to be favored, but Yang Guang didn't accept this trick at all. At this time, he dared to continue to manipulate, and kowtowed: "This poor man kowtows to the emperor."
A hint of ridicule flashed in Yang Guang's eyes, and he said calmly: "Angatuo, did Li's prophecy that he should be the emperor come from your mouth?"
Angatuo nodded fiercely and said: "It is indeed a poor Taoist!"
Yang Guang sneered and said: "With your little ability, are you still able to peek into the secrets of heaven?"
Angatuo said painfully: "Your Majesty, killing with a sword is not the only skill that counts. I have countless Taoist magical powers, but my martial arts is just a small way."
"Oh, what skills do Taoist priests have?" Yang Guang asked with interest.
Angatuo said proudly: "I am proficient in fortune-telling, fortune-telling, fortune-telling, astrological calculations, Taoism and alchemy, and I am proficient in all of them. Some time ago, I was observing the stars at night and found that the Ziwei Emperor star was dim, and it entered the South Dou, and there were guest stars.
The culprit, as expected, the emperor was assassinated in Guantao County a few days ago.
Recently, Pindao looked at the stars again and found that Yinghuo had become too subtle, and the guest star was competing for the glory and had the potential to seize the palace, so he made a divination, and the result was that the hexagram should be in the character "Li", so Pindao concluded that "
"Li" will conquer the world on behalf of "Yang", and Li should be the emperor."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was silent, especially the person named Li. He was surprised and happy, happy and afraid. This Taoist priest spoke clearly and logically. In addition, coupled with the lifeless atmosphere of the Sui Dynasty, could it be that the dynasty was really going to change?
Is Mr. Li taking the throne?
Yang Guang's face was gloomy, and he stared at Angatuo silently, as if there was an invisible murderous aura gathering around him.
Yang Qingruo was secretly frightened and said quickly: "This demon talks nonsense and confuses the public. Its purpose is nothing more than to confuse the public and disturb the court. Your Majesty, please do not fall into this person's trick."
Yang Guang waved his hand and asked in a deep voice: "Does Taoist An have a way to crack it?"
A trace of pride flashed in Angatuo's eyes, and he said seriously: "The secret has been revealed. If the emperor wants to decipher it, he can only kill everyone with the surname Li in the world!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience gasped, including Gao Bufan. Damn, this barefoot Taoist priest is so damn cruel. There are so many people with the surname Li in the world, at least hundreds of thousands.
In this case, are you not afraid of thunder?
At this time, all the officials named Li present were frightened and angry, and they wished they could immediately step forward and tear Angatuo alive.
However, Angatuo seemed to be completely unaware. He just stared at Yang Guang and said seductively: "If the emperor finds it difficult to handle, he should at least cut off all the nobles surnamed Li. However, there is no guarantee that no fish will slip through the net. The only option is to kill them."
It takes all the people with the surname Li in the world to ensure success once and for all."
Gao Bufan couldn't help but be stunned. It seemed that this Taoist priest was not only a pretender, but also a crazy pretender. Yang Guang would only follow his advice if he was crazy. However, Yang Guang seems to be a little crazy recently, and maybe he will
If they really do as they are told, then a catastrophe will come, and the Great Sui Dynasty will inevitably collapse in this clean catastrophe.
"Your Majesty, just as Manager Qing said, this evil spirit has no good intentions and is deceiving the public and confusing the public with its evil words. The purpose is to bring trouble to the imperial court. Your Majesty, please do not be fooled and commit suicide to destroy the Great Wall." Nayan Suwei was the first one.
He stood up and spoke harshly.
Now that someone was taking the lead, the officials surnamed Li came out one after another and scolded Angatuo fiercely.
Li Hun, the Duke of Tien, had his hair and beard all spread out. He even rushed forward and kicked Angatuo in the face, scolding him: "If you dare to confuse the public with your evil words and bring trouble to the imperial court, you should be executed in Lingchi!"
Zhuguo Li Min fell to his knees on the ground and cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, although my surname is Li, I have always been loyal to your Majesty. I don't know who instructed this demon to fabricate such a vicious lie."
It is extremely vicious to deceive the emperor and intend to kill all the people with the surname Li in the world. I sincerely request the emperor to investigate the person behind the scenes and punish the culprit severely so as to set the record straight!" After saying this, he glanced at Yu Wenshu intentionally or unintentionally.
Yu Wenshu couldn't help but feel his heart sink, and he quickly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I agree that the person behind the scenes must be strictly investigated."
As the saying goes, public anger is hard to blame, and now that the public sentiment is raging, Li Hun and Li Min still suspect that they are behind the scenes. Yu Wenshu is old and cunning, and naturally he is not willing to take the blame, so he immediately stood up to express his attitude to clear away the suspicion.
For a time, all the important ministers present stood up and expressed their intention to conduct a strict investigation in order to clear themselves up.
Yang Guang's expression changed. In fact, he called Angatuo for interrogation in public. Firstly, it was a test, and secondly, it was a shock. He was not stupid enough to really kill everyone with the surname Li in the world. However, it was he who caused such a big backlash.
Unexpectedly, not only was he shocked but also alert, the power of the surnamed Li was so great in the court.
Yang Guang cast a dull glance at Li Hun and Li Min, who had angry expressions. A subtle coldness flashed in his eyes, but Li Yuan, who had been holding his tail between his legs like a quail, made him more pleasing to the eye.
"I am not a foolish king, so how can I be easily deceived by the loyalty of this demon? Come on, please escort this demon down." Yang Guanghan said.
Feiyuwei immediately picked up Angatuo and left. However, whether this man was crazy or intentional, he tore off his Taoist bun, disheveled his hair, rolled his eyes, and shouted wildly: "The emperor must kill
Kill all the people with the surname Li in the world, otherwise the Sui Dynasty will perish in your hands. Kill all the people with the surname Li in the world, otherwise you, Yang Guang, will be the king of the country's subjugation! The king of the country's subjugation...the king of the country's subjugation!"
Angatuo howled like a wild beast, dragging two bloody long marks on the ground with his legs, which was shocking and terrifying!
It was not until Angatuo was dragged away from the Qianyang Palace and the screams could no longer be heard that all the civil and military officials present relaxed slightly, especially those surnamed Li, who were scared to death.
Li Yuan felt cold sweat dripping down his back, and even his inner clothes were soaked through.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Under the leadership of Nayan Suwei, all the civil and military officials knelt down and shouted three times, Your Majesty's Majesty.
However, everyone present understood that although the emperor ordered Angatuo to be taken away, he did not kill him on the spot. As long as this person did not die, the butcher's knife on the head of the man surnamed Li would not be removed.
In other words, although the emperor said in public that he would not be deceived by Angatuo's lies, he actually still had doubts in his heart, otherwise he would not have killed Angatuo.
The court meeting ended and people left the Qianyang Hall one after another. Gao Bufan also followed the crowd and went out. When he was wondering what to do next, Nayan and the Minister of Civil Affairs Su Wei stopped him.
