The palace pillars are painted with colorful paint and the mats are decorated with soaring patterns.
After the east and west rows had their desks rolled up, the invited guests, some sitting with their legs crossed and some with their legs crossed, all looked at the man who was crying out in grief.
I saw this man with a square face and broad cheeks, and he could not suppress his anger. His lips could not stop trembling and he said: "Dare I ask... dare I ask the palace envoy! What crime did my adoptive father He Kuini commit? It was just a trial in the Yamen Hall, without the Ministry of Punishment.
If you repeat the performance, you will be brutally punished by the owl's head?!"
Wang Jin snorted coldly and did not answer.
Wang Che, the mail guard general standing behind him, immediately showed disdain and said: "When that barbarian was in prison, not only did he not tell the truth about how he incited the Zoroastrian followers to rebel, he also hid weapons secretly with the intention of sneaking up on the jailer.
, it is simply an unforgivable crime! What’s more, since the evidence of treason is solid, why would a mere businessman bother to go to the government office and the Ministry of Punishment to verify the report? Just chop off his head, which will make other people who are ready to take action feel a lot calmer."
Tianji Protector Qin Xiangchu's eyes widened and he said in an icy voice: "If you want to impose a crime, there is no excuse! Taiwei Palace acts domineeringly, we have long been accustomed to it, but it does not follow the laws of the Sheng Dynasty and often lynches and kills. How can we stop it?"
Many people say..."
"Uncle Qin Shi will talk to you later! Since it's 'one question and one answer', just now the Zoroastrian Justice asked the question, and the Taiwei Palace Armored Guards answered. It's already a back and forth. Now it's time for the Taiwei Palace to ask the question, and the Zoroastrianism answers.
The rules are the same."
When Yang Chaoxi saw that the peace talks were about to begin, there was indeed someone who couldn't hold himself back. He wanted to retort along the lines of the conversation, so he hurriedly interrupted.
I know that if this trend is not stopped and the two parties are allowed to argue word by word, what will follow will inevitably be a flurry of opinions and excitement. By then, no matter what is right or wrong, it will be impossible to clearly argue.
.
Tan Xiangchu was interrupted mid-sentence, and his face immediately turned red. However, he had no choice but to swallow the words that followed, "I'm not happy if I don't say them". He cut Yang Chaoxi's eyes angrily, but he didn't dare to do so on the spot.
attack.
Everyone in Taiwei Palace looked at each other and smiled, and they all showed great expressions. It was obvious that they were very satisfied with the role of this "middleman".
Only Zen Master Kuzhu spoke first: "My Buddha advises evil to follow good, and your teachings eliminate evil and spread good. Their purposes should be similar. Why do your teachings insist on doing whatever you want, killing to stop killing, and using violence to eliminate violence?
Yuan Qu committed a heinous murder?"
When the Zoroastrian people heard this, they were all secretly shocked: the skill of these monks and nuns in debating theory alone was unparalleled. Considering the tragedy of the Tongyuan Canal, although it was expected, it can be done well.
The premise of evil makes this question even more justified and righteous.
The Zoroastrian saint Liu Xiaomu looked at the crowd and defended the law. Ye Sanqiu solemnly made a holy fire salute to her, then nodded and signaled for him to answer. Ye Sanqiu did not hesitate and said: "Evils in the world can be great or small.
There is a distinction between good and bad. Some people have no conscience, which is a great evil. Some people bully the weak, which is a small evil. Some people are persistent in evil, which is a long-term evil. Some people do not save themselves from death, which is a short-term evil.
Those who do wrong can still be forgiven, but those who commit heinous crimes cannot be spared. Death is not a pity! I teach the holy law, which is to let everyone decide what is good and what is evil, and rank the evildoers. Those who can be forgiven should be killed.
People. The Buddhists do not make false distinctions, thinking that there is no unforgivable evil in the world, and there is no unforgivable person. As a result, he said, "Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately." I don't know how many evildoers have been tolerated and tolerated, and they are still at large!"
After Ye Sanqiu said this, all the believers wanted to clap their hands and cheer. The monks, nuns, and Taoist priests in Taiwei Palace were also surprised. They never thought that there were such eloquent people in Zoroastrianism. The contempt in their hearts was reduced.
Therefore, those who were originally prepared to ask questions also became cautious.
Yang Chaoxi saw another question and answer, and then cleared his throat and said: "Now I invite the Zoroastrian to ask questions, and Taiweigong will answer." Tan Xiangchu glanced at the brothers in the sect and motioned for him to speak first. No one was there.
He objected and immediately continued: "According to the laws of the prosperous dynasty, officials like the royal palace secretly amassed private soldiers, set up private prisons, abused torture, ransacked homes and seized property... I don't know what the crime should be for all these things?"
The monks, nuns, and Taoist priests knew that he had something to say, but they did not dare to arbitrarily discuss the court's laws, so they all looked at Wang Jin.
Wang Jin raised his eyebrows slightly and said mockingly: "I didn't expect that the arrogant and perverse Zoroastrian would actually know the laws and regulations of the Sheng Dynasty! Everything that Shopkeeper Qin said is a serious crime and must be reported to the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Yushitai.
Trial. If Shopkeeper Qin wants to file a lawsuit against me, he might as well write a complaint and go to Chang'an to report it to the chief officer of the Third Division. I think they will judge impartially and give Shopkeeper Qin an explanation."
After saying that, he looked at Henan Prefecture Yin Xiao Jing aside and said, "Master Xiao, I don't know what I said, is there any deceit?"
After Xiao Jing entered the palace, she sat on a high chair in the upper left corner. However, she represented the Henan government and came here to be a witness. No matter what the outcome of this meeting and negotiation was, she must write it down in a memorial and send it to you.
In front of the emperor.
Seeing Wang Jin suddenly ask him, he immediately understood that the Duke of Qi, who seemed to have a "do as he pleases" attitude, was actually hinting to Tan Xiangchu: How could he, an important official in the imperial court, be afraid of being sued by the common people? Even if he was accused by Tan Xiangchu
The accusations were all true, and even the Henan government might not dare to take the case. When it arrived in Chang'an, it was protected by Yuan Zai. Which official in the three departments of the DPRK and Central Government dared to bring trouble to the Yuan Party?
After a few thoughts, Xiao Jing smiled slightly and said: "What the Duke of Qi said is true. Going west to Chang'an, there are many dangers, and the officials in the court have more complicated official duties. I just handed over the complaint, and I'm afraid it won't take a few months."
Without any merit, it is difficult to reach a conclusion on the case.”
Tan Xiangchu was about to say more, but heard Yang Chaoxi say again: "What we are talking about today should be a matter of common concern to both parties. I hope you will not dwell on personal grudges and deviate from the topic. Next, it is up to Taiwei Palace to ask questions and Zoroastrianism to answer."
At this time, Wang Jincai spoke again: "Zoroastrianism and Taiweigong have always been at odds with each other, and recently they have been at war with each other. The root cause is just the conflict between Yi and Xia, and the defense between Hu and Han. There is the 'Jizhou Rebellion' in the distance, and there is Tong in the near future.
The tragic disaster in Yuanqu was all caused by the provocation caused by the Hu people, which caused the misfortune and death of our innocent Han people.
This spring, we also heard that Zoroastrianism will welcome the Holy Maiden of the Western Region General Altar to the sacred capital, and they want to use this to make a big splash to gather businessmen and people from all states, prefectures, and towns to develop believers and carry forward the teachings. There are even rumors that Zoroastrianism also wants to compete for it.
The divine weapon of the Middle Earth is 'like a water sword', and it stands with the two sects of Taoism and Buddhism, fighting against each other in separate courts.
The Taiwei Palace in the divine capital was not only the ancestral temple dedicated to Emperor Xuan Yuan, Li Er, the ancestor of the prosperous dynasty, but also the ancestral hall that governed various sects and religions without any rebellious intentions. Suddenly he was shocked to hear this, and he made a decisive decision.
Take action to expel the saints and restrict Zoroastrianism to prevent the conflict between Hu and Han from intensifying again and causing disaster.
I never thought that Zoroastrianism actually instigated Hu merchants in the city to go on strike, which caused the price of rice and grain in the city to skyrocket, and the people were miserable. This is to torture the people, and the intention is really sinister! I am here today, and I just want to ask the Holy Spirit
Girl, when will you stop doing such despicable behavior?!"
"Grrrr!"
A string of soul-stirring laughter rang out, and everyone in the hall was slightly frightened. Following the sound, it was Liu Xiaomu who covered his mouth and chuckled, slightly activated some of the "Nine Shao Eight Sounds Skill", and then looked at Wang Jin and others after laughing.
humane,
"Palace envoy! You and I have been close friends for a long time, and today is the first time we meet. I thought you would exchange a few polite words with the slave family, but you didn't want to use a few official words to choose the Taiwei Palace! It's all said and done.
, it’s all my Zoroastrian religion, isn’t it?
In the past few years, we have colluded with Yuan Zai to suppress and exploit Hu merchants and Hu people. Let’s leave it aside for now. Just talking about the believers, family members, and Hu merchants you have arrested in the past half month, I’m afraid there are already over a hundred! I don’t know what the current situation is.
How many are left alive? When will they be released?"
One asked questions, and the other asked questions in lieu of answers.
Yang Zhaoxi sat at the top, naturally knowing that both parties had finally asked the key question. But he didn't know which party should ask first and which party should answer first.
Li Changyuan stroked his beard and muttered: "Chong Lingzi, whoever asks first will get the answer first, and whoever asks last will get the answer. You can make a decision on this matter without hesitation."
Yang Chaoxi's mind changed, and he quickly spoke out: "Taiwei Palace asks questions, and asks Zoroastrianism to respond first. Taiwei Palace should also report the truth later on what Zoroastrianism asks."
Although these words were impartial, the two sides who were at war with each other cast unkind glances at him.
There was silence in the hall for a few moments before Liu Xiaomu's red lips opened again and she replied calmly: "As long as Taiwei Palace no longer makes trouble for our Zoroastrian religion, and all the captured believers, family members and Hu merchants are released, so that we can be called
Those who are injured will be treated, and those who are mourning will be mourned. Hu merchants will resume the market, and the prices of goods will also drop. As for the enmity between the Zoroastrian Church and the Taiwei Palace, I am also willing to cancel it. I wonder what the royal palace will do? "
However, Wang Jin was noncommittal and said casually: "What Taiwei Palace wants is easy. All the Zoroastrianism needs is to send back the saints, expel all the masters in the religion, and return to its proper sect. It will not frighten the Han people."
, no more trouble. Why do I, Taiwei Palace, have to waste my money, lose my troops, and make things difficult for you Zoroastrian?"
The two of them exchanged questions and answers, but neither of them gave a final word.
However, people from both sides of the hall suddenly became noisy, and they all felt that what the other party mentioned was too fantastic!
The armored guards of Taiwei Palace knew that the palace envoys had no choice but to practice Buddhism and would never allow other religious sects to grow and squeeze out the Buddhist sect, so they all gathered together and sneered. The monks, nuns, and Taoist priests who came with them had never liked Zoroastrianism.
Foreign sects such as Christianity, Nestorianism, and Manichaeism competed with them for believers and incense, and they naturally slandered them in every possible way.
When the Zoroastrian people heard that Taiwei Palace actually asked them to return the saint to the Western Regions, they also wanted to send away all the powerful guardian Dharma kings, missionary envoys and many guards. Some people immediately cursed, some ridiculed, and some
He even threw his head back and laughed, feeling that the palace envoy must have gone crazy. Even a fool would not do such a thing like this.
Yang sat at the top day and night, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles, scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously.
Shu Yao, the prince brother of Xiping County, laughed at the side and said: "Young Master Yang, don't be anxious! It is only expected that the two parties are bidding so much. It is a matter of face and bottom line, it would be weird if both parties were willing to let go easily."
Li Changyuan also explained to Yi: "Chong Lingzi, it's because the two parties are at loggerheads that I need you as a 'middleman' to help, so that today's peace talks can decide on a Chou Yin Mao!"
Yang Chaoxi suddenly became enlightened, and immediately moved his inner breath, gathered it in his throat, and learned the method of "Jiu Shao Eight Tones Gong" and said: "Since neither the palace envoy nor the holy aunt refused to answer directly, Xiao Dao boldly asked: What do you think about each other?
What are the considerations for the things mentioned? Just say 'yes' and 'no'."
The sound was not loud, but it resounded throughout the hall. Everyone was stunned for a moment, the noise stopped suddenly, and then fell into silence.
Everyone in Taiwei Palace looked at Wang Jin, while the Zoroastrian followers looked at Liu Xiaomu, all waiting for their leader to make a decision.
Liu Xiaomu and Wang Jin's eyes were deep, and they shot towards the opposite side almost at the same time. Their eyes were crossed, and they faced each other, as if they had murderous auras colliding together, and invisible sparks burst out.
"Yes!" Wang Jin said with a smooth smile, confident.
"No!" Liu Xiaomu shouted angrily, eyebrows raised and eyes raised.
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, the silent hall suddenly became abuzz again.
