Chapter 58 The Court

"There is no need to report anything about that magician."

After Wei Jing finished speaking, he left Xuanguo Mansion directly.

Now that everything was fine, he had to go back and deal with other trivial matters.

But after Wei Jing left, Chen Guang was stunned, his heart was fluctuating, half surprised and half panicked. What surprised him was that Wei Jing said that a new fifth-level magician had appeared!

You must know that this magician suddenly appeared and killed three fourth-grade people just now when the Xuanguo Mansion was blocked. The person who solved the crisis in the Xuanguo Mansion may be in the Xuanguo Mansion, including the thousands of people in the Xuanguo Mansion.

One of the people.

What makes me anxious is,

There is no pattern to the magician's appearance.

In the Xuanguo Mansion, there are very few people who have the blood of Duke Xuan, and more of them are the trained soldiers and guards, as well as the servants and maids.

If they were of the blood of the late Duke, that would be great, but it was more likely that they were personal guards and the like, and the Xuanguo Mansion only had some kindness towards them.

If it is a servant, that is the worst case scenario. The other party has been hiding in the Xuanguo Mansion, and it may even be detrimental to the Xuanguo Mansion... However, tonight's rescue of the Xuanguo Mansion's crisis can make people feel a little more at ease, at least

This shouldn't be the worst case scenario.

Do you want to check it out?

This thought came to Chen Guang's mind.

But then he shook his head slightly. On the one hand, magicians and warriors are different, so it is difficult to investigate at all. On the other hand, investigation is meaningless at all, and it may even annoy the other party.

After all, no matter what the reason is for the other party to hide the identity of the magician, it shows that they do not intend to stand up to the public.

"Since there is nothing else to do, I will leave first. The Duke does not have to send you far away."

Qi Li made a speech to Chen Guan.

He can naturally think of things that Chen Guang can think of, but since he is a martial arts master, he doesn't really care about a fifth-grade magician.

After Qi Li left, Yan Hanyu and Xu Su also left immediately. As the masters of the Wumiao Temple, they also had no interest in magicians. Whether they really came from the Xuanguo Mansion, and whether it would change the structure of the court and the status of the Xuanguo Mansion,

They didn't care about any of this.

Unless it was a fourth-level magician who could threaten them.

Then I will pay special attention to it.



That night.

The news of Tiansheng Cultists' night attack on Xuanguo Mansion quickly spread throughout Kyoto.

Kyoto is shocked!

Although the Xuanguo Mansion was not in trouble and instead wiped out all the incoming enemies, the Tiansheng Cult dared to surround the Duke's mansion. This undoubtedly touched the bottom line of all the nobles of the Yuan Dynasty!

If you can attack and kill the Duke's palace, can you also attack and kill the Prime Minister's palace? Can you attack and kill the prince's palace?

It's early morning.

A large number of people had already stood outside the palace, including many civil servants and military generals, as well as many dignitaries from the Duke's mansion.

Under normal circumstances, the Great Yuan Dynasty held a court meeting once a month, and the emperor often did not come to the court meeting, leaving all matters in the court aside.

Today is not the date of the court meeting either.

However, the Xuanguo Mansion was attacked at night by members of the Tiansheng Cult, which was of great concern. Even the emperor, who enjoyed himself all day long, was alarmed by this and held an unprecedented court meeting.

After a while,

Many civil servants and military officers began to enter the court hall under the guidance of the chamberlains. The whole process was silent, and everyone basically had a sullen face.

On the one hand, he knew how bad this incident was, and on the other hand, he felt the tense atmosphere and sense of depression after entering the court step by step.

Many people's eyes were looking at Chen Guang, Duke of Xuan in the honorable team, from time to time.

Including some other nobles, they were all looking over.

"The Xuanguo Mansion has indeed declined. Now, even humble members like the Tiansheng Sect dare to offend and cause chaos... If it were at its peak, they would never dare to do this."

Some people shook their heads slightly and whispered in their hearts.

Everyone knows about the situation in the Xuan Guo Mansion. Duke Chen Guang is only a fifth-rank master. Compared to the original Duke Xuan, who was a third-rank master, he is two ranks behind.

Either of these two levels is completely different and a gap that is difficult to bridge.

There was no particularly outstanding bloodline among the Xuanguofu generation. There was a concubine named Chen Wu who had extraordinary talent in martial arts, but unfortunately died, and everything else was mediocre.

Since the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, it has gone through seven hundred spring and autumn years. At the founding of the country, there were eight princes and fourteen princes. In the following hundreds of years, there were successively more princes and princes, and some princes and princes' mansions fell into ruins. Now there are only thirteen left in total.

Of these thirteen princely residences, only seven still retain the title of prince.

Xuanguo Mansion is one of them.

When the Yuan Dynasty was founded, the Xuanguo Mansion was ranked in the middle among many princes, but now the Xuanguo Mansion can only be ranked last among the seven hereditary princes' mansions.

The majestic Duke's residence only has a fourth-grade enshrinement, which shows the current predicament of the Xuan Guo Mansion. Relying on the name of the Duke can scare ordinary young people, but in the eyes of a rebellious cult like the Tiansheng Cult,

Obviously he is the soft persimmon among Xungui.

Some other nobles even had this thought.

However, whether it is contempt or gloating, this action of the Tiansheng Cult has also made everyone feel threatened, so this time, many nobles and even civil servants and military generals have the same purpose.

Clean up Kyoto!

No matter how much the Xuan Guo Mansion declines, even if it falls to the point where some enemies want to step on it, this step should not be stepped on by someone who was born to teach such a rebellious person.

Waiting for many civil servants, military officers and nobles to enter the hall one after another.

Emperor Long Zheng, who was wearing a dragon robe, finally appeared and walked step by step to the dragon chair. His steps were a little frivolous, but his face was still rosy.

There was total silence during the whole process. Even though the man in the dragon robe had no spirit and no coercion, many civil servants and generals still bowed their heads in silence.

The only ones who dared to raise their heads and look at them squarely were the few people standing at the front of the many civil servants and dignitaries.

Following Emperor Longzheng was a middle-aged man with silent steps and fair cheeks. His eyes were dull and he held a golden seal in his hand. He came to the dragon chair and stood quietly.

Emperor Longzheng slowly sat on the dragon chair, took the golden seal held by Zhao Gao in his right hand, and placed it on the imperial table.

He did not look at the civil and military officials below, but looked at the golden seal with an indescribable look, as if obsessed or intoxicated, and kept stroking it with his fingers.

No one dared to speak.

The atmosphere gradually became depressing.

After an unknown amount of time, Emperor Longzheng finally spoke and spoke his first words.

"Last night the Tiansheng Cult attacked the Xuanguo Mansion. I was... very unhappy that something like this happened in Kyoto."

The voice is very calm.

But everyone can hear the hint of coldness beneath the calmness.

Emperor Longzheng, the emperor, worked diligently for several years when he first came to the throne, but something seemed to happen to him later, and his temperament suddenly changed. From then on, he began to indulge in drinking and sex, and ignored state affairs. He held monthly court meetings.

It's all just a formality.

Nothing seems to attract his attention, and nothing ever makes him angry. This has been the case for more than ten years.

After more than ten years.

Many civil servants and military generals once again felt the anger of Emperor Longzheng.

Although the body covered in dragon robes does not seem to have much strength, the blood seems to have been drained out, and it is only nourished by many supplements.

But at this moment, no matter who it was, they all felt a chill coming down their spines, and felt that the air in the entire hall seemed to be stagnant, as if the world would collapse in the next moment.

No one can speak.

There was dead silence in the hall.

Almost everyone knew the reason for Emperor Longzheng's anger, because attacking the Duke's residence in Kyoto was tantamount to contempt for imperial power and contempt for the dragon chair on which he sat.

For more than ten years, no matter how fierce the battles in the court were, no matter how chaotic the Yuan Dynasty was, nothing ever offended the imperial power.

This is the first time in more than ten years.

I don't know how long it took, Emperor Long Zheng's right hand slowly let go of the golden seal. The terrifying pressure that filled the entire hall suddenly disappeared without a trace, and his whole person seemed to have changed back.

An ordinary mortal wearing a dragon robe and no longer full of blood.

"I'm tired."

Emperor Longzheng said the second sentence.
