1448. Swordsmen and shoes go to the palace, but they dont follow the court, and they dont pay tribute (Part 2)(1/2)
News one after another, and voices one by one, as the monks and disciples poured into the palace, spread throughout the palace, causing the atmosphere in the palace to suddenly become like a pot of boiling water.
There are various expressions on the faces of every palace official, worshiper, and soldier.
Only when Emperor Xuanzong glanced around, the expressions on those people's faces suddenly calmed down and changed to a look of submission, as if they were still loyal to Xuanzong.
Emperor Xuanzong's Adam's apple rolled. He sat stiffly on the throne and looked outside the palace. He saw the black and yellow sky and earth outside the palace. Between the black and yellow sky and earth, he could not see any other shapes staying in it. He felt even more moved in his heart.
And full of unspeakable panic.
If you walk out of the palace now, what will happen to you?
He originally took Gun Mian and sat on the throne just to welcome Su Wu here - every ray of his soul that he had placed in the ancestral temple was killed by Zhang Wu with one arrow. Zhang Wu's golden arrow is still in the ancestral temple to this day.
Inside, it was like a steel knife hanging over Xuanzong's head. From this, he understood that even Zhang Wu's own strength was definitely beyond his reach.
What's more, the other party also has the support of Lushan Zhenren, bad people and many other forces behind him?
Under such circumstances, I am still an enemy of Zhang Wu, which is really just a stubborn resistance!
Emperor Xuanzong ordered the guards to be banned, and when he made various preparations, he already had a premonition of his final outcome - he had no chance of winning, and he would definitely lose this battle!
But even so, he didn't back down.
Defeat is nothing more than death!
Even though he died on this throne with his clothes on his head, he was still the Emperor of Li Tang!
But now a monk walked into the temple and brought him all this news——
"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Zhenguo is already outside the palace. Please come straight to see me!"
The last monk who sent back the news repeated his words again. The monk emphasized his tone slightly to revive Xuanzong's sanity, which was drifting beyond the nine heavens.
Xuanzong lowered his eyes.
Time seems to have stood still at this moment.
He expected that he would sit on the throne of Li Tang and die in full robes, but at this time, because of the news from the monks, everything came to nothing.
He had a pale face and was silent for a long time.
All kinds of incomprehensible glances intertwined in the hall.
Those eyes seemed to have never fallen on Emperor Xuanzong, but they finally crushed Emperor Xuanzong's will. After a long time, Emperor Xuanzong let out a dejected sigh: "Hey..."
Then, the saint held on to the armrest, trying to prop up his body. But at this time, for some reason, his legs were extremely weak. Even if he supported the armrest with his hands, he could not straighten up for a while. Seeing this, the surrounding palace people lowered their heads and passed by.
He supported Xuanzong's arms and lifted him up from the throne.
For Xuanzong at this time, the dozens of steps from the throne to the entrance of the palace seemed as long as walking thousands of miles.
As he approached the palace entrance, he was covered in sweat.
Approaching the entrance of the palace, he finally saw Zhang Wu standing outside the palace with his hands hanging down and a dull expression. At this time, a force suddenly came from nowhere in his body, making his legs that had softened suddenly straighten.
He pushed away the palace attendant who was supporting him and slowly approached Zhang Wu.
Emperor Xuanzong opened his mouth to speak——
Su Wu's eyes dropped.
The invisible gaze was like a mountain, which immediately weighed him down and made him unable to lift his head.
He felt extremely humiliated in his heart, and the power swirling in his body spurted out even more fiercely at this time - even if Zhang Wu killed him right now, he would not be afraid at all!
However, as Zhang Wu spoke, the will to die that had just burst out in his heart suddenly disappeared completely: "Emperor.
How about ending today's matter?
The officials and waiters inside and outside the ban will never retain the slightest memory of today's events - after one night, tomorrow will be a bright day again.
You go to court and govern the country as usual.
And I, as before, will implement the rule of ‘no treachery in the world’. How about you and I not interfering with each other?”
Su Wu thought clearly.
Although Emperor Xuanzong can be killed now, it is not good for the overall situation.
Xuanzong did not need to intervene in the matter of "governing the world," but he still needed to use the name of Emperor Li and Tang to mobilize various resources and cooperate fully.
What's more, the affairs of the world and the people's livelihood are not just about "curing evil".
Emperor Xuanzong is alive and well, and if he can cooperate with Su Wu well, it will be beneficial to the world. Taking his life at this time will instead cause turmoil in the court, and the Kaiyuan Era, which was only flourishing, will also be cut off.
Moreover, Emperor Li and Tang practiced the "Five Virtues and Body", which was also very strange. He relied on the energy of the five virtues and five directions accumulated by successive emperors to cultivate his body. At the same time, the energy of the five virtues was closely related to the fate of the country.
——To kill Emperor Li Tang at this time would be equivalent to destroying the destiny of the country!
Today's prosperous national destiny is also a great help to Su Wu's pursuit of "governing the world".
Therefore, Su Wu's fundamental purpose from the beginning was not to kill Emperor Xuanzong and replace him - everything he did was to force Xuanzong to "turn back" and end the war with war.
Li Longji didn't know what Su Wu was thinking. He was forced by Su Wu to leave the palace and come to 'visit' Su Wu. The humiliation in his heart couldn't be increased. He had already begun to die, and he felt that his death was coming.
Muster up 120,000 courage to face his own death.
But he didn't expect to hear Su Wu speak at this moment, saying that they could still "get along well".
What is happening now should have never happened.
After this night, there will be no trace of what happened next.
Every word he said indicated that he could give himself a way out. The position of emperor was still in his hands. Such twists and turns suddenly drained all Li Longji's courage.
If everything can remain as usual, why should I want to die?
With this thought, all the strength in Xuanzong's body suddenly disappeared without a trace, and he suddenly sat down on the ground. He looked up at Su Wu, his eyes full of fear: "My life and death now depend on your thoughts.
You can kill me quickly, and there is no other person in the world who can make you pay any price.
Why...why did you..."
"I'm not doing it for this quick moment." Su Wu grinned. He knelt down next to Xuanzong, and suddenly a golden arrow appeared in his hand.
This arrow penetrated Li Tang's ancestral temple and was as light as nothing in Su Wu's hands.
Under Xuanzong's trembling eyes, he handed the golden arrow to the other party and said: "Your life is in danger, and the rise and fall of the Li and Tang imperial line is now in your own hands.
Where will the emperor go?
Will he become a sage king or become an unruly national thief?
It's all in your mind.
Emperor, just take care of yourself."
After saying these words, Su Wu stood up, and a strong wind swept up his figure. When the strong wind turned around, his figure also disappeared.
Xuanzong lowered his head and looked at the golden arrow in his hand.
The golden arrow melted into a ray of light in his palm, and then slowly disappeared before his eyes.
But in his heart, he can now sense the existence of that golden arrow all the time - that feathered arrow is still firmly nailed to the Li Tang ancestral temple. It cannot fall off for a day, and Xuanzong's spirit cannot be moved for a day.
Return to the ancestral temple and receive protection from the royal family.
This steel sword hung over Emperor Xuanzong's head for a long time!
"Huo Guang's story is here again..."
He murmured and looked at his empty palms in despair. The black wind swaying between the sky and the earth gradually subsided. When someone in the palace saw the emperor sitting in front of the palace with his clothes on his head, they were immediately frightened and hurriedly approached him, saying, "
His Majesty'.
Emperor Xuanzong turned to look at the expression on the palace man's face, convinced that the other party had no memory of what happened before.
Except for Su Wu and Xuanzong himself, no one inside or outside the forbidden palace knows what happened tonight.
"Your Majesty, the wind is strong tonight..." The eunuch helped Emperor Xuanzong up, and at the same time racked his brains to choose his words, trying to cover up the scene where Xuanzong fell to the ground in despair.
Xuanzong glanced at him, straightened up, turned around and returned to the palace.
Soon after, a decree came out of the Daming Palace and went straight to the Criminal Office.
…
The imperial edict said: Only Xuanyuan surrendered to Zuo and ushered in the fate of the Tang Dynasty... Zhang Wu, a bad commander, had both morals and conduct, talent and talent. He was awarded the title of Duke of Zhenguo. He was praised and worshiped but not famous. He entered the court without following. He went to the palace with swords and shoes.
On the 'Xuanmen Ranking', Zhang Wu ranks among the top three, holding the position of 'Leader of the Xuanmen City', prime minister of Yin and Yang, determining the world's laws and governing the world's evil.
…
The original "Delinquent Persons' Office" was once again expanded into the "Xuanmen Office" after the sage issued the decree.
There are three major agencies under Xuanmen: the Suppression Bureau, the Divine Works Bureau, and the Conspiracy Prison. All bad people are integrated into the three major agencies, and they are completely transformed into Xuanmen.
Since the 'Shen Gong Bureau' mastered the craftsmanship of the 'Sheng Ren Jia', it has gradually spread throughout the world, and many disciples from folk religions have come to join the cast.
In front of the office, there was a bustling crowd.
At this time, in a certain quiet room in the front yard of Xuanmen.
Su Wu sat upright in the main seat. On the left and right sides of his head, women with beautiful faces and moon-like faces were sitting there. Surrounded by the women, Su Wu looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, as if he had turned into a wood carving and clay sculpture.
