"I beg Taizu Shi Xun to show his sage and depose this dissolute and immoral emperor for the sake of the people and the country!"
One voice after another sounded, and one figure after another appeared at the gate of the Ancestral Temple. They looked resolute and showed no fear when facing Emperor Jianwu who was standing in the front hall with a face so ferocious that he wanted to eat people.
After seeing this group of people, the officials and monks on the square burst into exclamation:
"It's Yang Zhen!"
"Yang Zongxian? Wasn't he convicted of negligence and sent to prison because of a demon sneaking into the Metropolitan Procuratorate? Why did he appear here?"
"Those people behind him seem to be Zhang Shilang from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Xu Langzhong from the Ministry of War, Liu Bianxiu from the Hanlin Academy, etc... Weren't these people all convicted some time ago and sent to prison? How did they get together?
Already? Are they escaping from prison collectively?"
"Look, those monks and Taoists, they seem to be Zhenren Zhang from Jade Emperor Temple, Master Suquan from Luohan Temple and others? They were imprisoned because they wrote a letter to advise the emperor to put people's livelihood and state affairs first and not to be obsessed with cultivating immortality and alchemy.
I was sent to the Daolu Division and the Senglu Division to meditate, but why did they come out and get together with Mr. Yang, Mr. Zhang and others?"
That's right, the person walking at the front of this group of people, holding up his bleeding right hand, frantically using the power of the law to activate Taizu Shi Xun, was none other than Yang Zhen, the former left-handed censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate!
The Metropolitan Procuratorate has the power to "report on major matters and make decisions on minor matters" and is responsible for monitoring and impeaching officials. Even if the king makes mistakes, they must also advise and correct them.
Therefore, it is most appropriate for Yang Zhen, the former censor of Zuodu, to take the lead in petitioning and using the blood of loyal ministers to summon Taizu Shi Xun.
And those who followed Yang Zhen were all officials and monks who were loyal to the state, diligent and honest.
These people have one thing in common: they were all charged with various crimes for admonishing Emperor Jianwu, either sent to prison or placed under house arrest.
Now these convicted officials and monks suddenly appeared in the Ancestral Temple, clamoring to invite Taizu Shi Xun to depose the emperor. While everyone was shocked, they couldn't help but guess whether the crimes committed by Emperor Jianwu were really true.
There are too many words to describe, and they are not worthy of being kings, so these loyal ministers have to take the risk of being disrespectful and do things such as abolishing and establishing them?
After Emperor Jianwu saw Yang Zhen and others appearing, he looked for Lian Jia and Wang Jinzhong, but he couldn't find them despite searching.
At the same time, he did not detect the chaotic atmosphere among these officials and monks.
This made Emperor Jianwu immediately think about something.
His eyes, which were already bloodshot, became redder and redder, as if they were about to spurt out blood.
"Did you set up a trap to deceive me about what happened before? Wang Jinzhong did not rebel, Lianjia did not cause chaos, and even the Black Lotus Sect did not lose control... It was all you, you rebellious officials and traitors who were deceiving the emperor and causing trouble!"
Emperor Jianwu was like a wounded and angered beast, roaring in anger.
The officials and monks in the Ancestral Temple were all shocked when they heard what he said.
Although they didn't know who Lianjia was, Emperor Jianwu mentioned the Black Lotus Sect, and judging from what he meant, the Black Lotus Sect was really under his control before.
It seems that what the mysterious voice said is true!
Emperor Jianwu was really the mastermind behind the Black Lotus Sect! He was the Black Lotus Buddha who was offered a high reward by the imperial court!
The king of a country actually became the founder of a cult... This is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!
Emperor Jianwu didn't care what thoughts and discoveries these people in the Ancestral Temple had. While roaring, he raised his hand and slapped the alchemy furnace next to him.
The flames at the bottom of the furnace immediately poured out like a flood, sweeping towards the officials and monks who broke into the Ancestral Temple.
Emperor Jianwu wanted to take advantage of the golden opportunity when they were petitioning Taizu Shi Xun and could not be distracted, so he burned and killed these rebellious officials and traitors in one fell swoop.
This is also to scare the monkeys, to see who else dares to go against him in the future!
The elixir was blazing and fast, and it flew in front of Yang Zhen, Master Zhang and Master Suquan in the blink of an eye.
During this process, there were a few unlucky officials and monks on the square who happened to be on the path of the Dan Fire attack.
Because they were unable to dodge, they were swept away by the elixir fire. Their cultivation was instantly burned out, and their flesh and blood were burned to ashes, leaving only brittle skeletons.
"Death to the traitors and thieves!"
Seeing that the pill fire was about to devour Yang Zhen and the others, Emperor Jianwu revealed a maniacal grin on his lips.
But at this moment, a dazzling sword light flashed out of thin air, piercing the blood-covered world and striking the fierce Dan Fire.
The surging sword intention contained in the sword light exploded instantly, and the coldness reached the extreme, causing everything the sword intention touched to be covered with a thick layer of frost.
Even the evil elixir fire is no exception.
The flames were frozen into ice, revealing a bit of strange beauty.
"boom--"
The next moment, the ice cracked and the frost flowers melted.
The elixir fire also went out.
Emperor Jianwu's eyes widened and he stared outside the Ancestral Temple.
I saw a man holding a knife and walking in slowly there.
The force erupted from the blow just now was obviously not something that the knife in this man's hand could withstand, as the blade was already covered in cracks.
The person waved his hand, and the knife flew out. After landing on the ground, it crashed and disintegrated into pieces.
But the person turned over his hand and actually took out another knife.
The officials and monks in the Ancestral Temple looked at this man in shock. They were both surprised at his strength and curious about where he drew the sword from.
"It's you!"
Emperor Jianwu recognized the person and almost bit his tooth socket into pieces.
"What Wang Jinzhong said was right at the beginning. You really have a problem! You are the ones who ruined my good deeds before, right? You dare to pretend to be a loyal minister in front of me. It is really hateful, hateful and killable.
!I should have listened to Wang Jinzhong’s advice and arrested you directly and put you in jail!"
Emperor Jianwu's heart was filled with regret.
If he had really put Qin Shaoyou in jail, wouldn't this series of accidents have happened?
Can his sacrifice be carried out smoothly without being destroyed?
It's a pity that he originally wanted to use Qin Shaoyou's ability to "conquer the gods", but he was afraid that if Qin Shaoyou was locked up, the kid would fight to death, so he chose Huairou this time.
But he didn't expect that he would actually lay the foundation for his own trouble!
"Kill them! Kill these rebellious officials and traitors for me, don't spare any of them! I will use their flesh and blood to sacrifice to the gods! I will use the lives of their nine tribes to satisfy the hatred in my heart!"
Following Emperor Jianwu's roar, the Jingjun in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, the editors of the Imperial Palace, and the people from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division all took orders to kill Qin Shaoyou and others.
Only the night watchman from the Demon Suppression Department was slightly hesitant.
At the same time, Emperor Jianwu also launched his attack again, rushing towards Qin Shaoyou with his alchemy furnace.
He wanted to personally kill this treacherous official who deceived the emperor, and used him to make elixirs and use them as medicine to relieve the hatred in his heart.
The fight just now allowed Emperor Jianwu to see that Qin Shaoyou's strength was also in the realm of demigods.
This kid has been hiding his strength before!
However, Emperor Jianwu is now suffering from backlash and corrosion due to the punishment of the Mad God and the poison he was just inflicted, and his strength continues to decline.
There was also the strange heartbeat sound that kept echoing in his ears, making his power more and more out of control.
Although Emperor Jianwu didn't know whether these things were related to Qin Shaoyou, he wanted to kill Qin Shaoyou as soon as possible.
Otherwise, it will be dangerous if his strength drops to another level!
As for Yang Zhen and others' attempts to activate Taizu Shi Xun, depose him from the throne, and deprive him of his dragon energy, Emperor Jianwu was not worried at all.
Because the piece of Taizu's stone training enshrined in the Ancestral Temple is simply a fake!
The real Taizu Shi Xun had been destroyed by him long ago!
With his character, how could he leave something that could threaten him without dealing with it?
Emperor Jianwu wished that Yang Zhen and others would distract themselves and petition the fake Taizu Shi Xun.
In this way, they will not be able to help Qin Shaoyou.
And Emperor Jianwu could calmly kill Qin Shaoyou first, and then destroy these rebellious officials and traitors!
As for Li Erlang and Cai Guizhong, Emperor Jianwu was not worried.
Because someone has already gone to stop and kill these two righteous gods!
Even if he can't kill him, as long as he can be blocked for a period of time, it will be enough for him to start killing.
He has mastered the art of murderous cultivation and can gain strength through killing people.
As long as he kills Qin Shaoyou, Yang Zhen and others, he can stabilize his declining strength.
