Chapter 222 Xuan Xiao is ruthless, Xuan Nu has a heart
In the Emperor's Palace, when brothers Yang Jian saw Emperor Gouchen, they could not help but tremble in their hearts as they felt the boundless majesty of this emperor who had accumulated great power for a long time.
Emperor Gouchen is in charge of the Ten Thousand Gods Map and is the king of living beings. Although he is not the leader of the four emperors, from the perspective of Shinto, he has a higher status than all the emperors.
He is also in charge of the military revolution in the world. He secretly controls the outcome of all wars in the world. In conjunction with Emperor Ziwei's selection of the true dragon of the new dynasty, he has a very murderous spirit.
At the same time, he is also the great emperor of the demon clan. Although he is not a demon clan himself, he is in charge of the three realms and six realms of demons. Every time a new demon clan is born, he must accept the test of the heavenly tribulation that falls in the Ten Thousand Thunder Pond, and only after surviving it can he successfully transform.
Although he doesn't pay much attention to the development of the demon clan on weekdays, once a big demon disrespects the heaven, or causes too much trouble, violates the laws of heaven, etc., he will be hit with thunderous blows.
Such a person's style is naturally tough, and it is difficult to change his attitude. Therefore, after Yang Jian and the others bowed down, before they had time to speak, Emperor Gou Chen said: "I already know your purpose, but
The state has national laws, and heaven has its rules. Since you know the law and break the law, if you are not guilty, it is a plus, so how can you allow casual pardons? If it were not for the sake of the Red Emperor and the Changsheng Emperor, I would not even see you."
Yang Jiao's heart sank. Although he had been mentally prepared, it was still very uncomfortable to hear such words of rejection. The three of them bowed deeply again, touched their heads to the ground, kowtowed one after another, and begged: "Please see the emperor."
For the sake of my brother and sister serving my mother wholeheartedly and fulfilling their filial piety, if you give me a chance, Yang Jiao is willing to go through fire and water no matter what the instructions are."
"snort!"
There was a faint smile on Emperor Gouchen's handsome face, showing coldness and alienation in his dignity. Although he was smiling, it was even more oppressive.
"Go back, everyone must bear the consequences for their mistakes. As the eldest princess, your mother knows all about the laws of heaven, but she still has no hesitation in marrying a mortal, treating the laws of heaven as nothing, and making heaven lose face.
It’s a shame. It’s already good that the emperor didn’t punish her twice, but he still wants to pardon her? Is your heavenly law just a show-off?”
"After being locked up for tens of millions of years, your mother is willing to sincerely repent, and it won't be too late to come again to ask for forgiveness." After Emperor Gouchen finished speaking, he waved his sleeves, and the scene changed silently. Yang Jian and the others had already appeared in the Emperor's Palace.
outside.
"Brother, what should we do? Emperor Gouchen has a clear attitude and doesn't even give us a chance to speak. Do we really have to wait tens of millions of years?"
When Yang Chan thought that her mother might have to be kept in a dark prison for so long, her eyes suddenly turned red and she was filled with tears.
Yang Jiao said: "There is no other way now. We can only impress Emperor Gou Chen with sincerity." After Yang Jiao finished speaking, he knelt down directly outside the Emperor's Palace. Yang Jian and Yang Chan also followed suit and knelt aside.
At this time, in the Emperor's Palace, Xuan Xiao and King Yu Qingzhen were sitting there drinking tea and had no reaction to the actions of Brother Yang Jiao.
"Brother Huang is really strong-willed. These three children are devoted to their filial piety. As the saying goes, filial piety comes first. Why don't you give them a chance? Even if the surrogate mother suffers some hardships, it would be better than turning a blind eye, right?"
Xuan Xiao smiled faintly and said disapprovingly: "I have made it very clear. They are still kneeling outside. Rather than trying to impress me, it is better to put pressure on me. You see, it's just you now. As time goes by,
More and more people will come to intercede. If I still don't agree, I will inevitably be unkind and offend many people. I'm afraid even the saints of Yuqing Temple will blame me for not giving face to Chan. You said they are young.
How vicious are your intentions?"
True King Yuqing was stunned. He didn't expect Emperor Gou Chen to say such words. If he really thought so, then the actions of Yang Jian and the others would be counterproductive. Unless Saint Yuqing is really attracted, otherwise
Once this person becomes tough, he may not sell anyone's face.
"You are really worrying too much. These children are pure and kind in nature. They just want to save their mother and fulfill their filial piety. I hope to impress you with their sincerity. Why are you so unbearable? Furthermore, Yao Ji was also affected by the love disaster when she was privately married to a mortal.
, A person who is truly ignorant and does stupid things in a daze should be exempted from punishment as appropriate..."
At this moment, the expressions of the two of them changed. King Yuqing was secretly amused, while Xuan Xiao's expression remained unchanged with a hint of helplessness. He looked at King Yuqing and said, "Look, the person who begged for mercy has arrived so quickly."
After a while, a group of people came outside, including four female fairies. They bowed down and said, "See you two emperors!"
Xuan Xiao waved his hand and said: "No need to be polite. Xuannv, Chang'e, Jingwei, Long Ji, you four are also here to intercede with Yang Jiao brother and sister?"
Jiutian Xuannu smiled, as beautiful as a hundred flowers in bloom. She said, "Yao Ji is our good sister. She has suffered for thousands of years. We come to plead for her. Isn't it too much?"
This tone was quite rude, but Xuan Xiao was not angry. Xuan Nu's identity was unusual. She was his mother's disciple. She had been with him when he was in Zifuzhou, so her relationship with him was naturally not understandable to outsiders.
, this can be seen from her name.
Even the other few people are very unusual. Chang'e is Chang Xi's apprentice. This status is not too high in the first place, but the situation has changed recently. Others don't know it, but he knows something about it. Chang'e's status is also a bit special, so she can't
Just wait and see.
There is also Jingwei, the daughter of Shennong and a human princess. Not only is she protected by her mother, but she also has a relationship with her uncle Qingdi, which cannot be taken lightly.
Thinking of this, Xuan Xiao began to have a headache. This was just the beginning, and so many troublesome people came to plead for mercy. It is conceivable that there will be more important people to intercede later. These Yang Jiao brothers and sisters are really capable.
.
"Yao Ji breaks the law and will be judged by heaven's rules. You came to me to plead for mercy, but you went to the wrong place. If you really care about the relationship between sisters, why not go to your father or queen yourself?"
Xuannv hummed: "Don't you know that the emperor is deceiving us? Now you are the only one of the nine emperors who is holding on to you. Others are willing to forgive sins, but they can't do it."
Xuan Xiao's face sank and he said displeasedly: "Obviously it was Yao Ji who broke the law, but now it seems to be my fault. That Yao Ji ignored the rules of heaven and married a mortal privately, which is a serious crime. The Yang Jiao brothers and sisters kept saying that they were filial to save their mother.
I think it’s more like asking for fame and gaining sympathy.”
"Yao Ji herself has not suffered. She will be released when her sentence is over, so why do they need a few Xuanxian to run around? Now everyone knows that they are filial sons, while I have become an inhumane and mean person."
Emperor Gou Chen said in a bad tone, but Xuannv was not frightened. Instead, she continued: "With all due respect, although the emperor has been alive for more than a million years, he does not understand true love, has no emotions in his heart, and is not human.
It’s really normal.”
"Huh?" Xuan Xiao's face was gloomy, "Are you trying to teach me a lesson?"
In the worried and admiring eyes of Chang'e and Jingwei, Xuannv boldly said: "I just want to talk about a problem that the emperor has never faced up to. Even if the emperor wants to punish him later, I will have no complaints."
"The emperor's origins are unparalleled in the three realms. He has enjoyed all honors since he was a child and has never had any setbacks. As time goes by, he takes these things for granted. He cannot appreciate the support and care of your majesty and empress, and has never thought about it.
You must fulfill your filial piety in front of them. Therefore, you cannot understand other people's filial behavior, but instead interpret it with dark views."
"As for Yao Ji marrying a mortal privately and breaking the rules of nature, this shows that she is sincere to Yang Tianyou. She knows the consequences will be serious for this, but she has no regrets like a moth flying into a flame. Although her actions are wrong, her feelings are
She is pitiful, but her heart is admirable. The emperor does not understand love, so he cannot understand her."
"presumptuous!"
Xuan Xiao slammed the table, startling everyone. Even Xuan Nu, who was risking her life, turned pale, but she still held her head high, not feeling that what she said was wrong.
"Xuannu, you are so bold that you dare to openly teach Qi Gulai a lesson. Do you know your guilt?"
Although Xuan Xiao's voice was loud, Xuannv did not feel any real anger. She breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "Xuannu just hopes that the emperor can understand more about the various conditions of the world and understand the way of the son of man. This is
The authorities are confused, but bystanders are clear, and filial piety comes first. If, as a son of man, you don’t even have the heart to honor your parents, how can you understand the pure goodness in the world?”
Xuan Xiao's face suddenly changed, his eyes were fixed on Xuan Nu, as if he was trying his best to suppress his anger, and finally said with a cold face: "How do you behave alone, do you still need to teach me? This is your first offense, so I'll expose it for the time being, and I'll do it again next time."
No mercy." After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving everyone looking at each other.
King Yuqing secretly gave Xuannv a thumbs up and left with a smile. Today, he gained a lot. He saw the embarrassment in Emperor Gou Chen's heart. When the two meet in the future, they will be able to brag about it.
On the contrary, Xuannv and the other four were a little at a loss. Chang'e said cautiously: "Xuannv treated Emperor Gouchen like this, and he didn't punish him. It's really surprising."
Xuannv also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile: "Although he has a good face, he is not an unreasonable person. This time he probably talked about his pain point, so he was very angry. But what I said is right, maybe he can still
I helped him, why should he punish me?"
Jingwei said with admiration: "Sister Xuannv is still very powerful. Emperor Gou Chen is so majestic that I dare not speak loudly when I see him. How dare you teach him a lesson in person? It is estimated that in the three realms, except for His Majesty, the Queen, and the Queen,
Apart from the two Tu empresses, the Saints, the Qing Emperor, and the Yellow Emperor, no one else has the courage."
Xuannv sighed: "I have actually wanted to say these words for a long time. It is not only for the good of the emperor, but also has something to do with myself. I have never had the chance before, but this time it is related to sister Yao Ji, so I have to say a few words. However,
I applaud his behavior of adhering to the rules of heaven, but I hope this is a choice he made after becoming enlightened and harmonious in the world, rather than an ignorant persistence that does not understand the world. This is not good for his future."
"But it's okay to have a few quarrels with him. It's not like I didn't do it in Zifuzhou back then. It's just that after he became the emperor, he took face more seriously, so I won't embarrass him anymore."
Princess Longji suddenly exclaimed and looked around. At this time, she had already walked out of the Emperor's Palace. There were no outsiders around, so she whispered: "The scene we witnessed just now will definitely make Emperor Gouchen lose face. Since he cherishes face, he will
You won’t take revenge secretly?”
Xuannv laughed and said: "Although he is not lacking in wisdom and cleverness, he is not a villain. Even if he is unhappy in his heart, he does not have to lower his status to retaliate against you in private. But you should be tight-lipped and don't talk nonsense, otherwise it will not only be him.
, it doesn’t even look good on His Majesty’s wife’s face.”
It was not the first day for these people in Heaven. They knew the seriousness and it was not something they could get involved in if it involved the big guys in Heaven. They nodded hurriedly to show that they were tight-lipped.
