The destiny of the country is that ghosts and gods will retreat in the face of this destiny, so there is no possibility of ghosts and gods causing trouble in the imperial city. This is also one of the reasons why the officials of the imperial court do not believe in Buddha, ghosts and gods, because the place where they live and their experiences are difficult to achieve in their lifetime.
Those who come into contact with ghosts and gods, because they cannot see what they are seeing
If you don't believe it, and it works from top to bottom, the officials below will naturally not choose to believe it in order to cater to these court ministers.
But this national destiny can stop ghosts and gods, but it cannot stop spirits.
"The national destiny is still a little weak. The national destiny can only cover the palace, not even the capital. If the national destiny can cover the capital, there will be no trouble in the capital." Li Xiuyuan thought to himself.
However, the strength of the national destiny will change. If a wise king emerges, the national destiny will immediately become stronger, so a certain dynasty will be revived. Therefore, it is impossible to judge the lifespan of a dynasty based on the strength of the national destiny alone.
"stop."
Suddenly, the Imperial Guards under the imperial city stopped Li Xiuyuan and his party.
"It is forbidden to ride horses in the imperial city. Didn't you see those adults getting off their sedans and horses in front of the gate?" a forbidden soldier shouted.
"Of course I know this." Li Xiuyuan got off his horse and signaled.
Immediately, a group of soldiers behind him also turned over and dismounted.
"This lord is very cool. Is this your first time attending a court meeting? Do you have any official documents?" said another Imperial Guard.
Li Xiuyuan waved his hand.
Han Meng immediately sent the paperwork.
"The document is correct, but my lord, you have too many soldiers accompanying you, which is not allowed. Please leave these subordinates outside the imperial city, and you can go in alone." The imperial guard said.
Li Xiuyuan said: "The others will stay here for now, Han Meng, Wu Xiang, follow me in."
"Wait a minute, these two are not allowed in either." Immediately, the Forbidden Army stopped Han Meng and Wu Xiang with long guns.
"Are you guys deliberately making things difficult for me? When I came here before, I saw a certain adult say something in front of you. Did that person tell you to keep my subordinates out?" Li Xiuyuan's face darkened, and his tone
Sheng Leng said: "Do you know that they are all meritorious officials who have been awarded by the imperial court?
They are indispensable for this court meeting. It will not be beneficial to you if you do this. It is better not to cause trouble, otherwise I will not be responsible for the consequences."
The expressions of the two Imperial Guards changed slightly.
They had listened to Master Yang's order before. Except for this person, everyone behind them was blocked from the imperial city. Unexpectedly, this person saw through it at a glance.
But I had to obey Master Yang's instructions.
"My lord, it is your duty to forgive me for not letting you go. For the sake of the safety of the imperial city, no one else can enter the imperial city. Unless you have the documents and rewards from the court, otherwise the step of entering the imperial city will be regarded as a mistake."
Kill them on the spot." The Imperial Guard looked businesslike with a cold face.
said.
"You have such a fair attitude, the imperial city is really safe. But I know very well what your intentions are for doing this. When my subordinates are stopped and the rewards are delayed, it will be me who loses." Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly,
He waved his hand and said: "Wu Xiang, Han Meng, follow me into the imperial city.
, if they really dare to use force to stop them, they will be killed immediately."
"The charge is to assassinate the governor of Yangzhou. His identity is suspected to be a demon from the Wutong Sect."
Immediately, a framed accusation was woven.
"You, how dare you? This is the imperial city. What you do is tantamount to rebellion, and you will be punished by the nine tribes." The imperial guard who stopped him was shocked.
No one in the capital has ever dared to kill someone in front of the imperial city gate.
Li Xiuyuan smiled, but said nothing, and just continued walking forward with Han Meng and Wu Xiang.
If you continue to struggle with these Forbidden Forces, you will be the one who suffers in the end. Instead of doing this, you might as well take a gamble and see if these Forbidden Forces dare to take action.
Seeing Li Xiuyuan's decisive attitude.
The two imperial guards were also panicked.
The person behind asked: "What should I do? Should I stop him or not?"
Cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, because they knew in their hearts that the person in front of them was a serious court minister, and he came with an imperial decree. It was impossible to stop him, but if he didn't, Master Yang couldn't explain it.
In the end, until Li Xiuyuan led the people through, no one from the imperial army intervened to stop them. The two leaders were even breaking out in cold sweat and did not say a word.
Because they cannot afford the consequences if anything goes wrong.
Assassinating the governor of Yangzhou and framing the Wutong Sect demon will lead to the confiscation of the family and the annihilation of the clan.
"The young master is so courageous. With just a few words, he scared off the imperial troops who were making things difficult for us." After entering the imperial city, Han Meng said with great admiration.
"Official games are all about propriety. They stopped us because this matter was within their limits. If they could stop it, it would be best. If they couldn't, they would let it go. Anyway, they wouldn't suffer any loss. The most important thing was to delay time and delay our second move.
A court meeting, if this is used by someone with intentions, I'm afraid
The reward will be withdrawn, so this is a trap."
"And such a trap cannot be set up by an old fox in the officialdom. You can get the maximum gain at the minimum cost."
Li Xiuyuan said calmly: "If you want to break the situation, the most important thing is to understand the intention behind it and have a tough attitude."
"I am the governor of a party, I have contributed to quelling the rebellion, and I have the imperial decree. Several imperial guards stopped me. Should I feel guilty, or should they feel guilty?"
Han Meng suddenly said, "Are those Forbidden Soldiers scaring us?"
"Oh, that's right. With the imperial city behind you, you want to scare me. Do you really think I'm young and easy to bully?" Li Xiuyuan said.
"But young master, what if they really stopped me just now?" Han Meng asked.
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "Then why don't you ask, what would they have done if they were not at the foot of the imperial city?"
Han Meng's heart trembled, and he naturally understood what the eldest young master meant.
If they weren't in the imperial city, they would definitely be killed if they dared to stop him.
And when he walked to the jade steps of a large hall, he looked up and saw an old man in purple official uniform looking at him with a cold face.
"Is this person the father of Admiral Yang who was killed by me in Jinling City, Master Yang of Zhongshu Province?" Li Xiuyuan felt a sense of hostility.
Not the look in the eyes of a political enemy, but a look of hatred and resentment.
The person he offended the most in the capital was Master Yang, so even if others didn't tell him, he knew the identity of this old man.
"You are young, there is still a lot of road to walk, there are many steps, be careful of falling." Mr. Yang stood in front of the hall and looked down at Li Xiuyuan, and said calmly.
Li Xiuyuan smiled disapprovingly and said: "I am not as experienced as this gentleman. As soon as we met, this gentleman walked to the end. It is my first time to attend the court meeting. It is okay if I am not used to walking up these steps. Be careful not to fall."
"
"I heard that Governor Li's battle with the Nine Mountain Kings in Jinling City was very exciting. He defeated hundreds of thousands of thieves with tens of thousands, defeated many with less, and turned defeat into victory in one fell swoop. I really admire him. However, the battlefield is dangerous, and Governor Li cannot take it lightly.
." Master Yang said.
"Thank you for reminding me, sir. This sir is so kind. Would you like me to ask for my name? I can visit you someday and thank you for your advice." Li Xiuyuan said.
Mr. Yang said, "Humph, I just need to know you."
After saying that, he turned around and left without even leaving a name.
"Is this a battle post?"
Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved. After walking up the last step, he saw hundreds of officials gathered in the Zichen Hall, each talking about things. However, Mr. Yang passed by and was frequently saluted by the officials around him.
This shows that Mr. Yang's identity and status above the court.
Of course, when he came here, no one was close to him, and they all avoided him like the god of plague.
"Um?"
Suddenly, he smelled a different kind of scent coming.
"Master Li." A court official smiled and bowed respectfully.
"Secretary of the Criminal Department, Du Wen." Li Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
It's just that the Du Wen in front of me is no longer the real Du Wen, it's just a monster covered in human skin.
Tao Dai Li Jian is really like that, and you can't even tell it among the officials.
"How is Mr. Du doing today? I wonder if the fire a few days ago burned Mr. Du's house?" Li Xiuyuan's attitude towards him was not friendly.
The other officials are human beings after all, but they are poisonous centipedes.
Du Wen smiled and said: "Everything is fine in the house, thanks to Mr. Li. But you have seen the attitude of those adults, Mr. Li. They don't want to see Mr. Li. The Imperial Master regards Mr. Li as his confidant. If Mr. Li doesn't believe it,
, we will know at the court meeting later."
"Oh. What else does the Imperial Master want to get?" Li Xiuyuan said.
