Chapter 270: Power is overwhelming, Huaining is beaten angrily, and Xu Qingxiao becomes a sub-sage
territory
The Imperial Palace of the Wei Dynasty.
Inside the main hall.
It can be said that the entire Wei Dynasty is waiting for Xu Qingxiao's return.
But many people don't want Xu Qingxiao to return.
In the court, the six ministers, the princes and princes actually did not want Xu Qingxiao to come back at this juncture.
Ji Yuan, Wang Chaoyang, Prince Huaining, these people have already been eyeing Xu Qingxiao's return.
Unless Xu Qingxiao can produce some strong evidence, it will be difficult to justify what happened in the Demonic Sea.
Especially the six books of ministers.
They have been thinking of ways to reduce the impact during this time.
It was okay in the Wei Dynasty. After all, the people believed in Xu Qingxiao. What Xu Qingxiao had done in the past two years had indeed improved the people's clothing, food, housing and transportation, and also made the people have enough food and clothing.
in this case.
Naturally, there is no need to publicize anything more. People are willing to believe that Xu Qingxiao is not a devil.
Outside of the Wei Dynasty, things were a little different.
After all, this is a matter outside the dynasty and cannot be controlled. In addition, the Tuxie Dynasty and the Chu Yuan Dynasty are hostile countries themselves. Naturally, they do not want the Wei Dynasty to settle down.
Naturally, various rumors began to be spread. Following these rumors without any explanation, others may secretly add fuel to the fire.
If you think about the power among the people, you can think of it as the Wei vassal king and Wang Chaoyang who are doing things secretly.
All in all, there is a storm of public opinion right now.
If Xu Qingxiao can prove her innocence as usual, then everything will be easy to say.
But if it's not possible.
That would be troublesome.
Therefore, when Xu Qingxiao appeared, everyone's first reaction was surprise, and then they were even more worried, thinking that Xu Qingxiao was not necessary.
There is something really wrong with it today.
It is absolutely possible to contact them secretly and use the power of the Wei Dynasty to eliminate this suspicion.
"Old minister Huai Ning, pay homage to Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, Ji Yuan, pay homage to your Majesty."
"Wang Chaoyang, I have met Your Majesty."
"Seven Star Taoist Sect, Pure Taoist, pays homage to Your Majesty."
Outside the main hall, four voices sounded one after another.
Prince Huaining, Ji Yuan, Wang Chaoyang and Taoist Qingjing arrived hand in hand.
Their purpose is direct and their intentions are obvious.
"Announce his entry into the palace."
After receiving approval from Xu Qingxiao's eyes, Ji Ling directly announced several people to enter the palace without thinking too much.
Now.
Four figures slowly walked into the hall.
Ji Yuan and Prince Huaining walked in front, while Wang Chaoyang and Taoist Qingjing walked behind.
After all, the two of them were not from the Great Wei Dynasty, so it was natural for them to walk behind.
"See Your Majesty."
The four of them entered the palace and bowed to the empress.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became solemn.
"No gift."
Ji Ling's calm voice sounded.
However, as Ji Ling's voice fell, Prince Huaining's voice soon sounded.
"Old minister Huai Ning, today I will join Xu Qingxiao, the king of Wei to pacify the rebellion."
"Your Majesty, please grant Xu Qingxiao death."
Prince Huaining spoke immediately. He looked at the empress and said calmly.
But this calm voice was extremely deadly. He read Xu Qingxiao's book and asked His Majesty to kill Xu Qingxiao directly.
This is really a bit cruel.
The acquaintances hated Xu Qingxiao to death, but what they didn't expect was that they would be so cruel and wanted to kill Xu Qingxiao.
"presumptuous."
"Prince Huaining, you are so presumptuous."
"Arrogant."
Suddenly, before Xu Qingxiao and the empress could speak, civil and military officials from all over the court spoke one after another.
Chen Zhengru, Zhang Jing, An Guogong and others all spoke together.
He angrily rebuked Prince Huaining.
It is indeed arrogant to grant the death of a king.
Although they knew what reasons Prince Huaining would give, it was really too much to say it like this.
"Prince Huaining, you are really bold. You want to kill a king. You are so presumptuous."
Zhang Jing's voice sounded again.
He was the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, so he naturally disagreed with what Prince Huaining said.
But Prince Huaining didn't care, but looked at Xu Qingxiao and said in an indifferent voice.
"The laws of the Wei Dynasty state that those who practice strange arts will die."
"King Pingchao, can you practice strange arts?"
Prince Huaining opened his mouth. He first told him about the crime of strange arts, and then looked at Xu Qingxiao and asked.
However, he knew that Xu Qingxiao would not admit it.
But so what? He couldn't explain it clearly. The matter in the Demonic Sea was irrefutable. How to clean it up?
But just after Prince Huaining prepared his next speech.
Xu Qingxiao's voice sounded.
"Well, this king has practiced strange arts."
Xu Qingxiao's voice sounded.
In an instant, all civil and military officials in the court were stunned.
Even the empress was stunned.
Wang Chaoyang, Ji Yuan, and Taoist Qingjing all froze on the spot.
No one expected that Xu Qingxiao would dare to admit it directly.
And he admitted it so lightly, without any scruples, and without the slightest refutation, admitting that he practiced strange arts.
This is completely different from what they expected.
Why did Xu Qingxiao dare to do this?
Practicing strange arts is a capital offense.
In the court hall.
Everyone was stunned, and Prince Huaining didn't know what to say for a moment.
Let me admit it directly, this is really shocking.
What kind of game is this?
Everyone was silent.
Even Prince Huaining couldn't help but ponder for a while, mistakenly thinking that Xu Qingxiao was playing some conspiracy again.
But after thinking about it, I really don't know what Xu Qingxiao wants to do.
After a while, Prince Huaining continued to speak.
"Since you have admitted to practicing strange arts."
"The evidence is conclusive. According to the laws of the Wei Dynasty, he should be beheaded and displayed to the public."
Prince Huaining spoke.
He didn't know what tricks Xu Qingxiao was playing, but what he knew was that Xu Qingxiao must be convicted no matter what.
But as soon as the words are finished.
Xu Qingxiao's voice also sounded.
"According to the laws of the Wei Dynasty, if you practice strange arts, you will indeed behead your head to show it to the public."
"But I am a half-sage of the Wei Dynasty and am not subject to the laws and regulations of the Wei Dynasty. Doesn't the prince know that?"
Xu Qingxiao spoke slowly.
As soon as he said this, Prince Huaining was stunned. He had never heard of such a rule.
Zhang Jing, the Minister of Punishment, suddenly understood.
He stood up immediately and spoke slowly,
"There is indeed such an article in the laws of the Ministry of Punishment of the Wei Dynasty."
He added.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Prince Huaining immediately understood that this was an obvious cover-up.
"Zhang Jing, I advise you to think carefully before speaking."
"The laws of the Wei Dynasty, when did such a law exist?"
Prince Huaining spoke up and looked at Zhang Jing.
The latter looked at Prince Huaining with calmness and determination in his eyes.
"I should know better than the prince whether there is such a law."
Zhang Jing said, he was not afraid of Prince Huaining. Anyway, Xu Qingxiao said it for this reason, so he made his choice directly.
At worst, he would be dismissed from office. Now that he is older, he doesn't care about these things anymore. If it really doesn't work, he can just resign and return to his hometown.
What are you afraid of?
"His Majesty."
At the moment, Prince Huaining ignored Zhang Jing and looked at the empress.
Let Ji Ling come forward.
But at this moment, Ji Ling finally understood what Xu Qingxiao was thinking.
He took the initiative to admit that he didn't want this matter to become a flaw for him. Xu Qingxiao dared to appear so blatantly today because he wanted to show off everything.
She understands.
Therefore, Ji Ling immediately spoke out.
"There is indeed such a clause in the laws of the Wei Dynasty, and it is my intention."
Ji Ling opened his mouth to express his attitude.
That's right, it's a cover-up.
The Emperor of Wei personally protected Xu Qingxiao, what can you do? What do you want?
Not convinced?
Even if you don’t accept it, you have to let me bear it.
this.
For a moment, Prince Huaining was stunned.
He didn't know what to say.
"I hope your Majesty will think twice."
"If this method is passed, I'm afraid it will cause terrible trouble. If this method can be passed, can it be said that this saint can also practice strange arts?"
At this moment, Wang Chaoyang's voice sounded.
He looked at the empress with a calm expression and said so.
He did not accept this decree.
He even threatened himself.
If you agree with Xu Qingxiao to practice different arts, then you will also practice different arts yourself.
As soon as he said these words, Ji Ling's voice immediately sounded.
"I agree."
As this voice sounded.
For a moment, Wang Chaoyang was stunned.
agree?
The empress actually agreed directly.
Even if you want to protect Xu Qingxiao, there is no need to do this, right?
Isn't this too blatant?
But soon, Wang Chaoyang understood what the empress meant.
You are valued as a sub-sage.
It stands to reason that if you really practice magic, you are digging your own grave. So what if the emperor allows it?
How many good outcomes can come from practicing magic?
Practicing strange arts by yourself is just to look for trouble, and you only practice strange arts when you have a problem with your brain.
Obviously.
The current empress has made it clear that she wants to protect Xu Qingxiao, and Xu Qingxiao is also very calculating.
He took the initiative to admit it and asked the Ministry of Punishment to cooperate and allow the semi-saint to practice strange arts.
Throughout the ages, there have been several semi-saints in an era. Even if they are dead, they are only four or five, right?
Who is the person who can become a semi-saint?
Which one is not the best?
Which one is not the pride of heaven?
They have enough to eat and have nothing to do to practice strange arts? Don't they take their own lives as their own?
Xu Qingxiao responds to all changes by remaining unchanged.
This move is so awesome.
The reason why he dared to show up so openly today was because he already had all the power in the country.
Liubu Shangshu is a person of Xu Qingxiao.
All the princes and princes supported Xu Qingxiao.
The empress of the Wei Dynasty even supported Xu Qingxiao unconditionally because the fate of the country depended on Xu Qingxiao.
In other words, what's the point of Xu Qingxiao's practice if he doesn't practice any other magic?
Who can judge Xu Qingxiao?
At the beginning, the Wen Palace of the Great Wei Dynasty could suppress Xu Qingxiao and judge Xu Qingxiao, relying on the public opinion of the world and the power of scholars all over the world.
At that time, if Xu Qingxiao admitted that she practiced strange arts, the empress would not be able to protect Xu Qingxiao.
But it's different now.
The empress holds all military power, and the Wei Dynasty is now prosperous. The country is rich and the people are strong, the emperor and his ministers are united, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.
And all of this is inseparable from Xu Qingxiao.
Therefore, it makes no sense whether Xu Qingxiao practices different techniques or not.
This matter could no longer be his flaw. On the contrary, Xu Qingxiao's proactive admission could catch them off guard.
And all of this requires the Empress of the Wei Dynasty to express her stance, as well as the civil and military stance of the entire dynasty.
Facts prove.
They support Xu Qingxiao.
For a moment, everyone was silent.
Wang Chaoyang, Prince Huaining, Ji Yuan, and Taoist Qingjing were all silent. They had been preparing for a long time. In the past three months, they had discussed together from time to time how to judge Xu Qingxiao.
How to convict Xu Qingxiao.
Now it has become a joke.
Because Xu Qingxiao didn't care about these things at all, and ignored these people at all.
right.
I have practiced magic.
But, so what?
Are you unhappy?
Then you won't be happy.
"Xu Qingxiao."
"You are too arrogant."
Finally, Ji Yuan's voice sounded.
Wang Chaoyang could not continue talking, and Prince Huaining did not know what to say. At this time, Ji Yuan really needed to appear.
Just as soon as he finished speaking.
Xu Qingxiao's eyes immediately looked over.
In an instant, the terrifying second-grade power filled the air, like a mountain and sea, directly suppressing it.
Ji Yuan accidentally turned pale on the spot. Facing Xu Qingxiao's terrifying pressure, he was both instinctively afraid and shocked.
Not seen for three months.
Xu Qingxiao has been promoted to the second rank.
The speed of improvement is so fast that it is simply unbelievable.
But thinking about Xu Qingxiao's practice of strange arts, he felt comforted again, but this pressure made him feel uncomfortable all over.
The good thing is.
Taoist Qingjing waved his hand and directly resolved this terrifying force.
"Xu Qingxiao, above the court, how dare you directly disrespect me?"
Ji Yuan spoke again.
But the next moment, Xu Qingxiao took action, like lightning, and slapped Ji Yuan hard on the face.
"Shut up."
"One bite at a time, my emperor, who do you think you are?"
"It's true that you are the surviving son of Emperor Wu, but in my eyes, you have not been canonized by His Majesty, and you are just a member of the royal family."
"Dare you shout with me?"
Xu Qingxiao slapped Ji Yuan on the face in front of the civil and military officials of the court. The slap could be heard clearly.
After being slapped hard, Ji Yuan's face suddenly turned red.
How could he not be angry when he was slapped by Xu Qingxiao in front of the Manchu civil and military officials?
"Sister Royal."
Ji Yuan looked at the empress and roared, with anger in his eyes.
But the empress didn't say a word.
Obviously Xu Qingxiao was allowed to do this.
"Xu Qingxiao, do you dare to beat the prince?"
Prince Huaining also yelled.
But the next moment, Xu Qingxiao also slapped Prince Huaining hard on the old face.
He had long wanted to slap Prince Huaining.
It's just that there has never been a chance. Now that he found an opportunity, Xu Qingxiao slapped him in the face without any mercy at all.
Snapped.
In the court hall.
A rare scene appeared. The dignified Prince Huaining and the surviving son of Emperor Wu were slapped in turn by Xu Qingxiao.
This is really a rare thing in ancient times and modern times.
"Shut up, my king."
"An old immortal, a country prince."
"Since entering the capital, there is nothing that I have done that has not benefited the country and the people."
"Fight the great Confucian and be the lord of the people."
"You are the official of the Punishment Department."
"Behead the king of the county and become the lord of the common people."
"To destroy Wen Palace is to become the Duke of Wei."
"Without me, the courtiers, and Your Majesty, the Wei Dynasty would still be in dire straits, and the people would be in dire straits."
"We have made countless contributions to the Wei Dynasty, but what about you? Because you are the old king, you have harmed the government and the public with your power, and you have allowed your son to corrupt and bend the law, killing millions of people in the Wei Dynasty. You still don't regret it."
"If I were you, I would have hanged myself long ago."
Xu Qingxiao made some remarks and scolded the two of them angrily, and then he looked at Ji Yuan, his eyes even more contemptuous.
"And you, the late emperor's orphan. To put it nicely, you are the late emperor's orphan and the prince of Wei."
"To put it bluntly, who do you think you are? A bad person from the countryside, running wild here?"
"Your Majesty has ascended the throne and the country is peaceful and the people are at peace. If you show up at this time and don't accept the title of king properly, aren't you just trying to seek power and usurp the throne?"
"Do you think I, the king, don't know? Or are the people in the world just fools?"
"Do you know why this king allowed you to enter the capital?"
"I just want to see what you can do? What I didn't expect is that you have a strong aura of bad roots in the country. I thought you had some shocking plan, but I didn't expect that you are extremely stupid."
"Who do you think you are? I'll give you face and call you prince. If I don't give you face, if I want to kill you today, what can you do?"
"At worst, I will leave Wei."
Xu Qingxiao opened his mouth and vented all the anger in his heart.
What he said was direct and domineering.
Inside the palace.
The courtiers were shocked. Although there was nothing wrong with what Xu Qingxiao said, Xu Qingxiao's words were still a bit excessive.
Someone looked at Ji Ling to see what the empress was doing.
But they found that Ji Ling was calm and even showed recognition in his eyes.
Suddenly, they understood completely.
Xu Qingxiao is now completely in power.
The Wei Dynasty was not only the empress’s world, but also Xu Qingxiao’s world.
But think about it, a half-saint who is also in the second level of martial arts, with Buddhist and Taoist schools also supporting Xu Qingxiao, such a person, he no longer belongs to the Wei Dynasty.
Now it is not Xu Qingxiao who shines because of the Wei Dynasty.
But the Wei Dynasty had Xu Qingxiao, and thus there was light.
This is an ideological misunderstanding.
Everyone thought that Xu Qingxiao would suffer disaster, but today they completely understood.
What is Xu Qingxiao’s real confidence in coming to Wei?
He just wants to tell everyone, whether they are people on the surface or people in secret.
Now, he has become a full-fledged man. He is the king of the Wei Dynasty and the backbone of the Wei Dynasty. This kind of conspiracy and conspiracy seems very ridiculous under the absolute power and strength.
At this moment.
Prince Huaining and Ji Yuan's faces turned pale, and they were shaking with anger.
Originally, in their eyes, they were here to attack Xu Qingxiao today.
Unexpectedly, they were slapped twice.
Forget it, what's even more annoying is that Xu Qingxiao is so unscrupulous.
They obviously did something wrong, but they were the ones who got slapped in the face.
How can this not make them angry.
How could this not make them tremble with anger?
"Xu Qingxiao."
"Prince Xu."
"Xu Bansheng, you are really powerful. Is this the Half-Saint? Is this the Half-Saint of Wei?"
"Do you still have Confucianism and Taoism?"
"good."
"good."
"good."
"It seems that you have been completely possessed by the devil."
"Then, don't blame me for not giving you a chance to change your ways."
"today."
"I, Wang Yang, ask for the holy will to kill your demon."
"Xu Qingxiao, today, I will let you know what a sub-sage is."
At this moment, Wang Chaoyang completely exploded.
His voice was cold.
I want to use the power of Ya Sheng to gather the power of heaven and earth to kill Xu Qingxiao.
But the next moment.
Xu Qingxiao's voice also sounded slowly.
"today."
"I promise a clear night."
"Use the power of heaven and earth to discern my heart."
