One hundred and fortieth nine chapters satirize Zhao family emperor
There was silence in Chongde Hall.
Emperor Hui Zhao Shuo sat high on the dragon chair. His face was expressionless, but his eyes were slightly deep, and there was a hint of impatience.
He didn't like morning court, nor did he like dealing with the country's major and minor affairs. In the past, these matters were directly left to the prime minister Gao Wenchong.
He has only gone to court twice this year. The first time was because of the Yin soldiers attacking the East City Gate, and this time it was because of Xie Changyuan.
The oiran killer Xu Anfu was killed and smashed into a meat pie on the street. This was originally a very satisfying thing.
But in the eyes of Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo, this was not the case, because Xu An's identity was originally a secret planted by the Imperial Master Lu Heng, and he needed to stand up at the critical moment to guide those stubborn scholars to submit to the Twelve Divine Palaces.
For this reason, people also secretly encouraged him to give him the title of "Poetry Leader".
In other words, Xu An actually belonged to the Twelve Gods Palace, and he was beaten to death just half a month before the God-Proclaiming Ceremony was about to be held.
Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo was naturally very displeased and ordered the arrest of Xie Changyuan.
After hearing the news, Gao Wenchong and Wang Huan hurriedly remonstrated and advised the emperor to think twice. In the past two days, Xie Changyuan's name had been spread throughout Bianliang City, and the people in the city praised him as a hero who eradicated evil.
Moreover, what Xu An did was indeed inappropriate, and being beaten to death was justifiable. If a hero was publicly arrested for a villain, it would definitely cause an uproar in public opinion.
After some persuasion, Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo was not a fool, so he naturally accepted the opinions of these two ministers. However, this was not to settle the matter, but to invite people into the palace in a relatively polite way before making further arrangements.
Only a few people knew the inside story of this matter. Xu An's father, Xu Qi, naturally didn't know about it, so he blocked the team alone, and was eventually knocked unconscious by Xie Changyuan with a wine can.
Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo was waiting for Xie Changyuan, and so were the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. Gao Wenchong and Wang Huan, who were relatively near the audience, looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of uneasiness in each other's eyes.
I don't know how long it took, but a eunuch came to report that Xie Changyuan had arrived in front of Chongde Hall and was waiting to be summoned.
Emperor Hui Zhao Shuo narrowed his eyes and said one word.
"Xuan!"
…
The front of the Chongde Hall was heavily guarded because this was where the emperor held his morning dynasty and all the emperors and civil and military officials were present here. You can imagine how tight the defense was.
There are two rows of Imperial Guards arrayed in front of the hall. They all have sharp eyes and a killing aura. They hold long spears in their hands and steel knives at their waists. They are all the elite of the elite.
Xie Changyuan stood on the white stone brick avenue, facing the power of hundreds of imperial guards and was not discouraged.
He was a military attaché and general during the Great Qin Dynasty, so he had never seen such a battle before, so he naturally seemed to be able to do it with ease.
After hearing the summons, Xie Changyuan stepped forward without changing his expression, passing through several middle- and lower-level officials outside the hall who were not qualified to enter the hall to meet the saint. Along the way, there were many comments that reached his ears, but he turned a deaf ear to them.
When he stepped up the steps and arrived in front of the palace gate, a figure stopped in front of him.
The person who came was Meng Zhi, the commander of the Suwei Imperial Army. He was present when the small court meeting was held in the imperial study room. He was also the only official who was criticized and demoted by Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo at that time.
Meng Zhi stopped in front of Xie Changyuan and shouted in a rough voice.
"Please leave the crossbow on your back. You are not allowed to bring weapons into the Chongde Hall."
Disarming oneself in front of the emperor has been an ancient custom to prevent someone from assassinating the emperor.
But Xie Changyuan didn't take it seriously and said nonchalantly.
"I only brought a crossbow and no arrows. According to the rules, I can enter the palace."
Meng Zhi shook his head and said.
"That has to be a senior military attaché of this dynasty carrying a crossbow gifted by His Majesty. You are neither a subject of our dynasty nor a military attache of this dynasty, so you are not qualified to bring a crossbow to the court."
Meng Zhi's tone was serious, and there was already a hint of warning in his words.
The atmosphere was a little tense, and the Imperial Guards were already slowly moving closer to test Xie Changyuan's pressure.
And Xie Changyuan was also a little impatient.
He snorted coldly.
"What if I have to take it?"
Meng Zhi's face turned cold, and his right hand was already on the handle of the knife at his waist.
"Then you are an assassin with evil intentions!"
"Fuck you!"
Xie Changyuan raised his hand and slapped him.
Only a snap was heard, and a big mouth was slapped directly on the face of the commander-in-chief Meng Zhi.
The eight-foot-tall man was so stunned that he flew out directly. He fell to the ground motionless, obviously passed out.
This action immediately stunned the people behind. The officials below screamed in surprise, and even the Imperial Guards beside Xie Changyuan were stunned for a moment.
The next second, more than a dozen Imperial Guards surrounded him, intent on capturing the assassin.
Xie Changyuan snorted coldly, kicked out a dozen shadowless kicks in the blink of an eye, and kicked a dozen forbidden soldiers down the stairs.
Immediately, he directly used Tiyun Gong to break into Chongde Hall.
In the main hall, all the officials felt a black wind sweeping across them, and some official hats were blown off to the ground by the strong wind.
By the time everyone calmed down, the strong wind had stopped, and Xie Changyuan's figure also appeared in the main hall.
He was tall, with sharp eyes, and his face was as sharp as a knife. He was wearing a set of black and gold clothes, and he carried the God of Qin's Protector Crossbow on his back. He just struck here, even facing the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, he did not lose half of his momentum.
He stood in front of the hundred officials, closer to the throne than the first-grade officials of the dynasty.
For a moment, the entire hall was silent, and all the civil and military officials were looking up at Xie Changyuan's back.
Sitting on the dragon chair, Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo leaned forward slightly and looked Xie Changyuan up and down with his eyes. He was stunned for a moment at first, but as a human emperor, he calmed down instantly.
In the end, Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo's eyes finally met Xie Changyuan's. The two were at odds with each other. For various reasons, they both disliked each other.
The imperial guards had already rushed into the hall, and they only waited for the emperor's order to capture the assassin.
But obviously, Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo did not have this intention at this time.
If Xie Changyuan intended to assassinate, Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo might not be so calm sitting here now.
Of course, the most important thing is that at the moment Xie Changyuan appeared, two people also appeared in front of Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo.
"How dare you, such a daring madman, to disobey the Holy One and not kneel down!"
One sentence, but two voices, obviously the two people in front of Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo said in unison.
Both of them are nine feet tall. They can be described as tall and burly, not much worse than Xie Changyuan.
Look at them wearing gilt armor and with wild goose feathers on their heads. They stand here like gods in golden armor. They are really impressive!
Xie Changyuan's eyes left Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo, and after one glance at the two men, he guessed their identities.
"The general in charge of the palace and the military minister, Fang Bi."
This is a pair of brother generals. After the founding of the Song Dynasty, they have been military attachés for generations, and these brothers are even more extraordinary. They are both nine-stage conjoined madmen, and they are extremely close to the realm of martial gods.
However, Xie Changyuan directly chose to ignore the scolding of the two of them.
Emperor Hui Zhao Shuo tapped his fingers on the armrest of the dragon chair, making clear and frequent sounds. This habitual action meant that he was already agitated to a certain extent.
The emperor had a very bad feeling towards Xie Changyuan, and the purpose of summoning him was to call an army to hold him accountable, but in the end, he was given a warning first.
He was sitting high and saw from a distance the scene where Commander Meng Zhi was slapped away at the entrance of the hall.
This slap not only slapped Meng Zhi, but also slapped his face!
All the officials were silent. Wang Huan, the imperial censor, was a little worried. He was about to step forward to say something, but his sleeve was pulled by Gao Wenchong beside him.
The old friend of many years shook his head at him. Obviously at this time, it was best not to speak for Xie Changyuan, otherwise it would only add fuel to the fire.
After a long silence, Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo finally spoke.
"You're just a commoner, why don't you kneel down when you see me?"
The emperor's voice was cold, like the cold wind on a winter night sweeping through the court, or like a forest of swords and swords, full of murderous intent.
But Xie Changyuan just grinned and said three words calmly.
"Why?"
Everyone was shocked, even Gao Wenchong couldn't help but frown, thinking that this person is still too young and energetic, and he doesn't know how to behave.
Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo sneered, stopped tapping the handrail with his fingers, raised his head and said.
"Just because I am the emperor."
The Son of Heaven means the son of God, who is uniquely blessed by nature and has a respected status. As an emperor on earth, he naturally enjoys the heartfelt worship of the people.
However, Xie Changyuan didn't care.
He smiled and said, "There are many dynasties in the Everlasting Continent. There is no country on the billions of miles of earth. If the number of emperors is not a hundred but eighty, there are not a few who can be emperors than you. What qualifications do you have to let me kneel down?"
you?"
After these heavy words were thrown out, the entire Chongde Hall was boiling.
The expressions of the officials were particularly exciting. Some were shocked, some were frightened, and of course some were snickering.
Even Wang Huan couldn't help but open his mouth, but he quickly closed it, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Is this wrong? Yes! Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo will indeed not be the emperor. This is a fact that everyone has already determined in their hearts but dare not say out loud.
But today, someone said these words in front of the emperor, which made many ministers who had been grudges for a long time feel extremely happy!
Emperor Hui Zhao Shuo's face turned dark instantly.
As an emperor, he considered himself to be extremely well-educated, otherwise he would have taken the inkstone from the Dragon Table and smashed it out.
However, the person in front of me was so wild and rebellious that he violated the majesty of the Heavenly Family. This is absolutely not allowed.
So he didn't bother to talk nonsense and waved immediately.
"Take it, push it out of the Meridian Gate and behead it in public."
There was a crash, and as soon as Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo finished speaking, all the civil and military officials immediately retreated bravely, vowing to stay away from Xie Changyuan to avoid being affected.
General Fang Bi's eyes widened angrily, and his tall figure disappeared in a flash. The next moment, he appeared in front of Xie Changyuan, like two tigers pouncing on him.
They had all heard about Xie Changyuan's various deeds in Bianliang City, and now they did not dare to neglect him once they took action. They used all the strength of the ninth level of body refining in an attempt to capture Xie Changyuan as quickly as possible.
The ninth level of body refining can be regarded as the preparatory stage for entering the martial arts. Although it cannot be regarded as having infinite strength, the copper skin and iron bones can be condensed to protect the body and protect the body from attacks by almost all weapons in the world.
The surface of the bodies of Fang Xiang and Fang Bi brothers quickly condensed an almost substantial body-protecting aura, which swept down with a strong wind, and their fists and feet were about to fall on Xie Changyuan's head.
At this moment, Xie Changyuan raised his right hand lightly.
He wears a black glove on his right hand. The index and middle fingers inside the black glove contain gold and silver Geng metal energy, which are extracted from two good weapons. Xie Changyuan named them golden fingers.
He has never used it once after refining it. Now he is facing two palace generals, masters who are infinitely close to the Martial God Realm. Xie Changyuan plans to give him a try. If he succeeds, it will be a huge show of power.
The ninth level of body refining was very fast, but Xie Changyuan, who had the Tiyun Gong added to his body, was even faster. The moment the Fang brothers got close, Xie Changyuan's speed suddenly exploded, he pinched the sword in his hand and pushed it with his mind to shoot out two golden lights!
There was a flash of golden light, like a thundering giant. With the touch of a golden finger, the body-protecting aura of the two palace generals disintegrated like snow and frost seeing the sun.
Under the frightened eyes of the Fang brothers, each of their bodies was pierced by a golden light, and then a sharp pain hit them. The figures flew up directly, smashing the "Chongde Hall" plaque hanging above their heads into pieces, and then fell down.
He came down with a look of pain on his face.
In a face-to-face meeting, the two strongest generals of the Song Dynasty were defeated directly!
At this moment, Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo couldn't sit still anymore and stood up immediately, staring at Xie Changyuan with uncertain eyes.
This was indeed beyond his expectation.
He secretly thought, this Xie Changyuan was able to defeat two ninth-level body refiners in one encounter. Could it be that he had already reached the legendary Martial God Realm?
If this is really the case, I am afraid that only the imperial master can subdue him!
As soon as he had this idea in his mind, before Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo had time to take the next step, he felt a blur in front of his eyes, and Xie Changyuan's tall figure had already arrived in front of him.
"You!" Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo subconsciously took a step back, his eyes obviously panicked.
Xie Changyuan had a teasing look on his face, and without saying any more nonsense to the dog emperor, he reached out and grabbed the collar of his dragon robe, and threw him out like a broken doll with a flick of his hand.
Emperor Hui Zhao Shuo screamed in the air to escort him. Fang Bi, the prime minister lying on the ground, didn't care much and quickly stood up to catch the emperor.
But as soon as the emperor came down, a huge force passed through Zhao Shuo's body and blessed them, forcing them to take more than ten steps back, and the momentum didn't stop.
They didn't dare to catch it forcefully. Even if they could catch it, Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo couldn't bear the reaction force, and he was afraid that he would die on the spot.
They just hugged the emperor and backed away, and they were about to crash into the crowd of officials. The force that even nine levels of physical training could not eliminate, if they bumped into a civil servant, they would be shattered to pieces on the spot!
Amidst the exclamations, Prime Minister Gao Wenchong took a step forward and stretched out his hands to touch Fang Bi's back. He only heard him snort, stepped back and stood firm, completely eliminating Xie Changyuan's power.
"What a great strength!" Gao Wenchong secretly exclaimed.
Seeing that Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo was rescued, Xie Changyuan glanced at Gao Wenchong in surprise, and the latter's eyes met his, with a hint of reproach.
Xie Changyuan smiled. He had a good impression of the Prime Minister and naturally had no intention of fighting with him.
Looking back, he simply sat down on the dragon chair of the Song Dynasty, crossed his legs, and looked with interest at the embarrassed Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo below.
The majestic king of a country was actually thrown off the throne, and the perpetrator sat down on the throne. Any emperor would probably be hysterical.
That's the dragon chair, the emperor's special seat, the supreme throne that no one but the emperor can touch!
A sense of humiliation surged into his heart, and Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo's face was distorted. He didn't bother to call the Imperial Master. He immediately bit off his middle finger, sucked out a mouthful of blood, and sprayed it on the floor with a pop.
"Boom!!"
The blood fell to the ground, as if an ancient consciousness was instantly activated. The air in the entire Chongde Hall seemed to be stalemate, and everyone felt as if they were under water, with an uneasy feeling of being surrounded.
A kind of golden rune appeared on every brick and tile in Chongde Hall. These should be Taoist talismans. They were generally incomprehensible, but there were also some words mixed in the talismans. Some people on the spot recognized that they were Taoist talismans from thousands of years ago.
An ancient Song character used in the early days of the Song Dynasty.
"This...could this be the emperor's royal defense formation set up by Taoist masters ordered by Emperor Taizu!"
There was a very old civil servant who seemed to remember something and couldn't help but knelt down and burst into tears.
The reason why he was so excited was because he saw the prosperity of the Song Dynasty back then. Compared with the current abjection, the sharp contrast made him shed tears.
The Song Dynasty was so powerful in the past, but now it will be transferred to the rule of Western forces in the hands of contemporary monarchs. Who is not sad as a minister?
Some people in the main hall were surprised, some were in tears, but Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo looked proud, as if Xie Changyuan was a dead man in front of him.
He didn't care what his minister was thinking, he immediately pointed his finger at Xie Changyuan and shouted with the full force of a king.
"Kill this officer!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the air in the entire Chongde Hall rippled like water waves, and a simple aura echoed in it, which also contained a huge coercion that could not be ignored.
The nine coiled dragon pillars in the main hall erupted with a burst of golden light, and the nine golden dragons among them seemed to come to life, and one after another they separated from the pillars and soared into the sky.
If you look carefully, you will find that the golden dragon on the pillar is still in place, and the golden dragon rising into the sky is just nine phantoms.
But even if they are phantoms, their power cannot be ignored!
The nine dragons ascended to the sky and hovered in the Chongde Hall. The pressure from the dragon made everyone kneel to the ground.
The nine dragons are so lifelike that their roars can be heard almost hundreds of miles away. When they are awakened from their slumber, it means that the emperor of the Song Dynasty is facing a fatal encirclement threat.
The emperor's blood fell to the ground, and Kowloon revived to kill the traitors!
This is what Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty said when he set up this formation.
Jiulong revived and immediately targeted Xie Changyuan. Without any hesitation, under the golden light, Jiulong rushed over at the same time, threatening to turn Xie Changyuan into ashes.
Facing the attack of Kowloon, Xie Changyuan was not afraid, and even had a faint smile on his lips.
He reached out and took off the God of Protection crossbow from his back, put it to his side, raised his eyes and saw that Jiulong was already close at hand.
A golden dragon stopped almost close to the tip of Xie Changyuan's nose. The golden light was dazzling, and Xie Changyuan couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
Creatures like dragons have been extinct in the East for a long time. Now that he saw a dragon at close range, Xie Changyuan was also a little surprised.
"It's a pity that it's a shadow left behind thousands of years ago." Xie Changyuan sighed inwardly.
What happened at the next moment made Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo's smile stop abruptly, and he even wondered if there was something wrong with his eyes.
I saw the nine golden dragons in the royal formation actually circling around Xie Changyuan. It could be seen from their movements that they were confused, and even felt irritable that they had nowhere to vent their anger.
They have no emotions, after all, they are not living bodies, they are just phantoms in the formation.
The reason for this is like locking a target and preparing to attack, but suddenly the target disappears, making you look confused. It means you are advancing or retreating.
"How could this be so..." Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo subconsciously took a step back.
The Emperor of the Song Dynasty was protected by the Emperor's Protection Formation. The destined emperor with the blessing of the true dragon's energy could theoretically be driven by the emperor. In history, there were occasional cases of forcing the emperor to take the throne. When the situation reached a desperate situation, the emperor at that time would
You can use the royal formation to kill the rebels, or you can protect yourself and wait for rescue.
But there has never been a situation like the current situation where people want to kill but cannot kill.
Unless Xie Changyuan is also a person whose destiny is ninety-five!
If this is true, doesn't it imply that Xie Changyuan will most likely kill Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo today and replace him?
No one dared to continue thinking about it, even Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo's face became extremely ugly.
"Who on earth are you!" Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo yelled with an angry tone.
Xie Changyuan grinned and said loudly.
"The Emperor of Qin appointed Xie Changyuan, the pioneer of the front seal!"
The sound was as powerful as thunder, and everyone in the audience looked at each other in surprise.
Pioneer officer has always been a temporary military position appointed during wartime, just like the existence of marshal and military advisor.
Although the power of a vanguard officer is not that of a marshal, once it is given to any person as a fixed military position, it directly shows that this person has made great military exploits and is a living legend in a country's army.
These days, there are not many people who are granted the title of marquis or king, but there are not many cases where they are given the title of pioneer officer, because this kind of person has the power to deploy any army in the country at any time.
In this way, everyone realized that Xie Changyuan's status was not ordinary, and they were also curious about why he, a military commander with a high status in Da Qin, appeared here and made a fuss in Chongde Hall.
Emperor Hui Zhao Shuo asked, "You are a general of the Qin State. Why do you want to disrupt the Song Dynasty's court? Do you want to cause a war between the two countries?"
Obviously, the second half of the sentence was threatening Xie Changyuan, oppressing a lower-ranking person from the perspective of a superior, and trying to force Xie Changyuan to bow his head by provoking a war between the two countries.
Others may weigh it a bit, but Xie Changyuan doesn't take this approach at all.
He handed the Great Qin Kingdom-protecting artifact forward, the god-killing crossbow. On the dark crossbow, there were four large characters engraved in official script in gold.
"The Protector Pillar Stone!"
"The pillars of protection of the Qin Kingdom are here. If the Emperor of Qin comes in person, I will represent the Emperor of Qin at this time. Do you dare to threaten me with war? If I, the Qin Dynasty, attack your Song Kingdom with all our strength, how many days do you think you can hold it back?"
This sentence directly choked Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo to death. He pointed at Xie Changyuan and could not say a word for a long time. Obviously, he did not dare to start a war. Although there was a gourd valley between Da Qin and Da Song, it was extremely difficult for thousands of troops to cross
In the past, if the Qin Dynasty, which was a body-refining madman throughout the country, really wanted to attack, the Song Dynasty really couldn't stop it.
Xie Changyuan was unyielding when he gained power. Before Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo could finish trembling, he shouted again.
"Zhao Shuo! I would like to remind you that as an emperor, you should act like an emperor. You are carrying the wealth and lives of millions of people. The inheritance of your ancestors is not your plaything, and you can just give it to the lackeys of the Western barbarians!
If you step back from the brink from now on, you can still continue to be the emperor. If you continue to be stubborn, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty will do the same thing if someone else does it!"
Xie Changyuan felt that these words were not enough, so he turned around and kicked the dragon chair to pieces. With a bang, the fragments of the pure gold dragon chair flew all over the ground. The thousand-year-old face of the Song Dynasty was wiped out, as if Xie Changyuan kicked it to pieces!
With these words, Xie Changyuan left the Chongde Hall without any further delay, but when he passed by Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo, he glanced at the latter.
The officials retreated to both sides and watched Xie Changyuan leave. No one dared to stop him along the way.
On top of a golden pillar.
Chongde Hall was still silent, and all the civil and military officials quietly looked at the back of Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo.
His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty looked ugly at this time. He looked at the shattered plaque of Chongde Hall and the torn dragon chair. He thought of what Xie Changyuan said before leaving and felt endless humiliation.
He panted heavily, and it took him a long time to calm down.
Zhao Shuo turned around, having restored his usual imperial dignity, and said in a deep voice.
"Expell Xie Changyuan from the territory of the Song Dynasty, and no one will be able to take another step forward!"
He issued the imperial edict, but in the end he did not say what would happen otherwise, because he knew in his heart that even if Xie Changyuan entered the Song Dynasty again, there would be nothing he could do to him.
Faced with a bachelor who has outstanding martial arts skills and a good status, but is unreasonable, even the emperor has to suffer the disadvantage of being dumb.
On this day, Xie Changyuan left Bianliang City. On this day, there were still twelve days before the Song Dynasty's God-Proclaiming Ceremony.
