Chapter 311: Presented to the palace to meet the Emperor
The court of Dashang was different from any era that Tie Tang had ever seen or heard of.
Get to the root of it——
It lies in the unparalleled strength of these human overlords in the court!
After an individual becomes powerful to a certain extent...
Even if they are allowed to take off their official robes, even if they are allowed to hand down all their rights, even if all their connections and backgrounds are cleared, they can still live freely in the world and still have enough weight.
They alone, without relying on anyone else, are the only ones in the world.
Based on the strength of the court composed of these human overlords, each official has a very distinct personality and his power is extremely permanent. Official rank is no longer the decisive factor in measuring an official.
The higher the official level, the more power it will have, but it will not crush people to death.
In the past, Tie Tang knew that all kinds of tragic experiences after abandoning his official position would hardly happen here.
Scenes of forming cliques for personal gain, wooing factions, and plotting against Zhongliang are also difficult to see in the imperial court of great merchants.
Is it useful to use conspiracy and trickery to remove a person from his official position, tarnish a person's reputation, and kick him out of the officialdom?
Useless.
Others are still the overlords of the world, with overwhelming strength.
On the contrary, because he has offended the other party, he will look for opportunities to secretly retaliate against you.
This leads to a situation——
In the court of Dachang, there will never be a situation where one hand covers the sky.
No official's hands are so big that they can silence everyone in the court.
As powerful as the left prime minister, as high as the grand master, he must also listen to the opinions of all civil and military officials, and cannot make decisions with just one word.
I figured this out...
Tie Tang knew that his current situation was not caused by any one person, but was caused by all the officials in the court.
The civil and military affairs of the Manchu dynasty.
Everyone wants to know the real situation of the Human Emperor!
Master Que held a three-foot brocade in his hand, turned around and faced the empty dragon-headed golden chair in front of him, slowly unfolded it, and read aloud.
"Qingshui of Jiangdu, Tietang of Yuncheng, reached the top of the mountain at a young age, and reached the realm of Yuanshen Great Witch at a young age. He is full of talent and talents.
He is loyal, brave and good at fighting, and has repeatedly made outstanding achievements. Now someone, Wang Jiangyong, has made a memorial to reward him as appropriate, and Shang Yue, the supervisor of the palace, has requested to be appointed as the county guard.
The minister Que Huaqing, together with the Taifu, the Taibao, the princes, civil and military officials, and with the approval of the Zuo Prime Minister Yi Zhi, promoted Qingshui Tietang to the position of Sheriff of Qingshui County. Please ask the Emperor of Shang for your order!"
After saying that, he bowed, circled the lavender brocade, and turned to look at Tie Tang in the distance.
"Come and get your submission!"
At this time, Tie Tang was already crumbling like a candle in the wind. After hearing the Taishi's words, he still gritted his teeth and took seven steps in a row.
Thumb thump thump...
Originally, he was only two or thirty feet away from the Grand Master, but after seven steps, Tie Tang's eyes seemed to see the Grand Master standing hundreds or thousands of feet away.
The Purple Wall Palace will not get bigger, but it will get smaller.
Tie Tang frowned slightly, knowing that the closer to the front of the team, the stronger the officials on both sides would be.
At the forefront of the team are Zuo Xiang, Wu Mu, Sangong, princes and other figures, all of whom are incredibly powerful.
With his current level of cultivation, it is impossible to maintain his true form in front of these overlords.
"If I keep going like this... I won't be able to reach the Grand Master, and I may even kill myself on the way.
We have to find a way!"
With a thought in his mind, Tie Tang didn't care about exposing his strength. He raised his right hand and pinched the seal.
I saw Tie Tang's body, which was pressed down to the size of a child, slowly disappearing like flying flowers and bubbles. After an instant, it quietly reappeared in front of the Grand Master.
This magical power cannot escape the vision of the officials present. Many people recognized the ancient magical power of Feishen Tuoji and secretly praised it.
At this time, Tie Tang had become the size of a pea and could not be seen. The power of the crisscrossing avenues of the overlords around him made him unable to breathe.
"Okay, I'll take him there!"
A broad palm stretched out to block all kinds of pressure for Tie Tang. Then he picked up the Zi Cheng in the Grand Master's hand, put a hand on Tie Tang's shoulder, and the two figures disappeared in the Zi Yuan Palace in an instant.
.......
"Huhuhu..."
Tie Tang, who had regained his true form, bent over and gasped for air, sweat dripping from his forehead like heavy rain.
"Tie Tang thanked the Taibao for rescuing the siege."
The one who just rescued him was the Taibao.
"What are you afraid of?"
The Taibao gently placed his palm on Tie Tang's back, and infinite essence poured in from all directions, filling Tie Tang with all the energy and energy he had previously consumed, and he was energized again.
"I...I'm afraid I'll be beaten to death if I go in." Tie Tang told the truth and didn't hide anything.
"You..."
The Taibao obviously did not expect that Tie Tang was worried about this. He shook his head gently: "Who do you think the Human Emperor is."
Tie Tang had a good impression of Taibao and tried to ask: "Do I have to go in?"
"Everyone wants an answer, including me!"
"Hiss~"
"It's just that whether I, the Grand Master, or even other officials all have their own ideas and plans.
When the answer is not good, some people want to know it alone and try to hide it from everyone.
Vice versa.
When the answer is good, it can also make many people put away their miscellaneous thoughts and stop thinking wildly, so as to avoid making mistakes and causing trouble."
"Then after the official comes out...if I make up an answer, will it be useful?"
The Taibao laughed and presented Zi to Tie Tang: "You overestimate yourself and underestimate them. Go ahead and I'll wait for you in the Ziyuan Palace. Everyone will wait for you.
There is no time limit for this court meeting.
It won't really end until you come out!"
Only then did Tie Tang notice where he was standing.
He has arrived at the high altitude of the Holy Capital, stepping on the auspicious clouds and overlooking the infinite scenery of the entire Holy Capital.
Not far ahead is the towering Yin Shang Palace.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of Tie Tang's rapidly beating heart combined with the sound of footsteps, playing a unique music.
He is about to meet the legendary businessman, the backbone of the human race, and the invincible emperor, but he doesn't know whether that person... is in the palace?
Buzz!
When he was about to approach the purple jade palace, Tie Tang felt his whole body tremble, as if a thin film had been penetrated. The momentary sensation made his hair stand on end and his pores closed.
"The Human Emperor has set up a formation here... If I don't meet the conditions, I'm afraid I will turn into ashes on the spot."
Tie Tang couldn't guess what the specific conditions were, but one thing is certain...
The person coming must be at least one person!
If you are not a human race, you will die if you enter.
The Yin Shang Palace is very large, and the entire palace is suspended in the air. It is located in the center of the Holy Capital.
Rather than saying that the Yin Shang Palace is in the center of Chao Ge, it is better to say that Chao Ge formed its current scale around the Yin Shang Palace.
Tie Tang slowly approached the tall and closed red gold palace door, feeling excited and uneasy at the same time.
His senses told him that it didn't have the terrifying aura of a human overlord like Baiguan, it was like an empty and silent heavenly palace.
Does that mean the Emperor is no longer here?
Tie Tang doesn’t know.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
He walked to the front of the red gold palace door, stretched out his hand to hold the golden ring, tapped it lightly three times, then lowered his head and bowed deeply.
"I am lowered to Qingshui Tietang, and I respectfully invite the Emperor to see you."
Whoa!
A sharp ray of light fell from the plaque engraved with the palace of Yin and Shang, and was printed all over Tietang, as if he was observing something.
After a while.
The vermilion door covered with golden eagles opened silently.
Tie Tang didn't think much and strode inside. After he entered, the door slowly closed again.
At this time.
In the originally extremely quiet Ziyuan Palace, countless voices rang out, and all the officials were whispering to each other and discussing in low voices.
"The door is open!"
"It's open!"
"It's open."
"Okay!"
"Master Hou, my strength is not as good as yours. Did you sense anything the moment the door opened just now?"
"The breath is still there!"
"Great, great..."
The closer you get to the front line of the official team, the quieter it becomes. During the time when the door is open, it is enough for them to notice something.
But this alone...is not convincing enough.
The Yin Shang Palace is the place where the Human Emperor lives and practices. It is normal for his aura to remain. It does not mean that he must be in the palace.
This is very clear to both the Grand Master and Taibao, as well as Zuo Xiang Wu Mu and others.
They still need Tie Tang.
At this time, the real owner, who was being remembered by hundreds of officials, had a question mark on his face.
After he opened the door, he saw no one, and he didn't know who opened the door for him just now.
In front of him was a narrow path, with both sides and sides covered by endless clouds and mist. Even with Tie Tang's current eyesight, he couldn't see through it.
There is the tinkling echo of the gurgling stream in my ears, the sound of the waves jumping and floating in the air, then falling and hitting the water, and the rich fragrance of flowers and plants.
But in all of this, Tie Tang couldn’t see a trace of the scenery.
What appeared in front of him was a cobblestone path, colorful and reflecting divine light.
Tie Tang did not dare to be careless and was always ready to use his flying body to escape. Even though he knew it might be useless, he had to at least try, otherwise he would not be willing to die.
He stepped forward step by step on the uneven and smooth cobblestones. Purple light passed through his eyes, and his martial arts eyes and Netherworld ears were working with all their strength, trying to find the figure and movements of the Human Emperor or other service personnel.
But found nothing.
There seems to be no human movement here.
When Tie Tang walked through the narrow path, most of the clouds and fog suddenly dissipated in front of his eyes, revealing two large doors made of red sandalwood.
The door was not closed, but opened outwards, revealing the large and bright hall inside.
The length and width of the hall are each fifty feet, and the height is two feet. There is a dragon-shaped candlestick in the northwest corner. Two dragon eyes emit flames, which are always bright and seem to never go out.
In the northeast corner is a statue of a colorful phoenix flying with its wings, holding fire jade in its mouth, constantly spitting out curls of white mist, bringing a light fragrance.
In the center of the north, there is a three-foot-high desk, on which are placed the Four Treasures of the Study and several ancient books, one of which is mostly open.
Behind the desk is a yellow-robed figure as tall as a mountain, with a back like a sword.
He sat with his back to the desk, as if he was meditating facing the wall, or looking at the vast and bright star map on the wall.
At this time.
Tie Tang clasped his fists in a bow and bowed deeply forward.
"The humble minister pays homage to my emperor!"
The Human Emperor was clearly in front, but Tie Tang could not sense a breath from the beginning to the end, nor did he feel any pressure.
"As expected of the emperor who dominates the world, if I close my eyes, I won't even be able to feel the human emperor walking in front of me.
Since the Human Emperor is still here, all problems will be solved easily. No matter how evil cults cause chaos, evil immortals spread their teachings, or evil soldiers cross the border, they will not be able to stop the imperial court from suppressing them."
Thinking of this, Tie Tang let out a long sigh of relief. His heart that had been hanging since he learned about the cult was finally completely relieved.
As long as the Human Emperor is still in the world, Great Shang will not fall, the human race will not fall apart, and it can still frighten the heavens and coerce the world.
Dashang was a dynasty founded by the Emperor of China himself. There has never been an ending where the dynasty was overthrown while the founder was still alive.
Even though Dashang has lived for more than 800 years.
But is a life span of more than eight hundred years considered long in this world? Is it considered long in the eyes of the Human Emperor? Is it considered long in the eyes of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty?
Just in a blink of an eye.
The existence in front of us is the absolute Dinghai Shenzhen. With him, we can ensure the unification of the world, bring tens of millions of people back to their hearts, and unite all the strongest men of a race to fight against foreign enemies.
In just a few moments.
Thousands of thoughts have gone through Tie Tang's mind, and his mind has completely relaxed, as if all difficulties have been solved perfectly.
But after waiting for a long time...
Tie Tang's heart lifted little by little.
The Emperor did not respond.
"Could it be that the Human Emperor is cultivating and didn't hear what I said?"
"No way, with his cultivation strength... I am afraid that he has already sensed me as soon as I stepped into the Holy Capital, not to mention that now that I am only four or fifty feet away from him, it is impossible for him not to know. No matter how immersed he is in cultivation, at least he still has an instinctive warning reaction to the outside world, let alone an invincible emperor like him who dominates the world."
Tie Tang believed that the Human Emperor might have reached a critical moment, so he ignored him and chose to continue waiting.
Until three hours later.
"Waiting like this is not an option..." Tie Tang went from being relaxed and comfortable at the beginning to a trace of worry and full of confusion.
Finally.
He still mustered up the courage, raised the purple gift given by the Taibao with both hands, and raised it high above his head.
"I, Tie Tang, will bring my grand master to submit a petition for my emperor to take a look at."
One stick of incense and time passes.
There was no movement in the back of the mountain-like figure in the distance, as if it had not heard any words at all and did not know that there was an extra person behind it.
At this time, Tie Tang had already sensed something was wrong.
This extremely subtle feeling came to his mind, making him worry about gains and losses.
If the person in front of me is not the Human Emperor...
Who could it be?
Who can enter here?
Who dares to enter here?
Another half an hour passed, and drops of sweat appeared on Tie Tang's hands raised above his head, which wetted the three-foot brocade silk.
"Something is wrong, something is wrong. Even if the Human Emperor ignores me, he will not ignore the Grand Master's submission.
He has not been to court for a hundred years, and now the grand master suddenly sent someone to submit a petition. It is very likely that there is something wrong with the court, and even with the hundreds of millions of people on earth.
With the Emperor’s unparalleled vision and broad mind that embraces the ocean, it is impossible to turn a blind eye.”
As Tie Tang became more courageous, he withdrew his brocade purple ribbon, straightened his waist, and began to walk forward.
Forty feet!
Thirty feet!
Twenty feet!
......
The distance between him and the back figure is gradually shrinking, but the other person still has no reaction.
Snap!
Tie Tang stopped. He was already less than three feet away from the majestic figure, and various strange sensations continued to impact his perception.
He has a very strange feeling.
The back view so close in front of me......
It doesn’t seem like a human being!
As soon as this idea came to mind, it was like a spring weed, growing crazily in an instant and quickly filling my mind.
Thumb! Thumb! Thunk!
Tie Tang took three quick steps in a row, crossed a distance of three feet, and came to the northeast corner in front of the back, blocking the bottle of colorful divine phoenix statue.
Immediately, he bowed deeply, not daring to look directly into the eyes of the Human Emperor. He held a purple gift in his hand and called me the Emperor.
But before Tie Tang finished speaking, he suddenly stopped.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the truth behind him.
There is no need to say it.
Who would speak to a dead thing?
Tie Tang straightened his waist, his hands were trembling, his legs were trembling, and his tail vertebrae seemed to have an icy air rushing through his body.
