Chapter seven hundred and fifty-seven the order of the national teacher
At this moment, in the Zichen Palace in the Imperial City.
The court meeting was not over, but they were waiting for the news of Li Xiuyuan's execution.
The whole hall was eerily quiet.
All the civil and military officials were like wooden statues, with numb expressions on their faces, standing motionless. Only Mr. Yang looked a little anxious, with cold sweat on his face.
The Imperial Master stood aside with his eyes narrowed, and he was very determined and confident, as if he had everything in mind.
Suddenly.
A forbidden soldier hurriedly ran over from outside the hall. He knelt on one knee and said: "Report, Your Majesty, Li Xiuyuan, the guilty minister in Ruyifang, defied the decree and gathered a group of subordinates to guard Ruyifang. Your Majesty, Mr. Zhao Yong, sent Zuo Qian
The household leader was captured by the imperial army, and the two sides have now started a war, with casualties on both sides."
"What?" Mr. Yang opened his eyes wide and looked shocked.
Why should he, Li Xiuyuan, resist the order and be disrespectful? Doesn't he know that his resistance is likely to bring disaster to his family and his clan?
This has been the case since ancient times when kings gave death to their ministers. The crime of the minister's death will disappear and his family will have no worries. Once he resists, he will destroy the nine tribes and regard him as a treacherous minister and rebellious party, and will be infamy for thousands of years.
If the king wants his minister to die, he will have to die. This is what it means.
"Wait a minute, if something is wrong, then Li Xiuyuan wants to retaliate?" Suddenly, Mr. Yang woke up and felt a chill in his back.
The king is weak and the minister is strong,
Li Xiuyuan has nearly 100,000 elite soldiers in Yangzhou. What can the imperial court do to destroy the other nine tribes?
Once Li Xiuyuan escapes from the capital and raises an army to rebel, what will happen to the world?
"This Imperial Master made a bad move, and the Song Dynasty is going to be doomed." Mr. Yang sighed in his heart. If looks could kill, he would have killed the Imperial Master thousands of times by now.
The evil monk harms the country; the evil monk harms the country.
But little did he know that the fate of the country is not what the national teacher cares about at all. He, as a practitioner, is always concerned about whether he can attain enlightenment.
So giving Li Xiuyuan his death may seem like a stupid thing, but it is actually the great result of his planning for so many years, and it is a good thing worth celebrating.
But at this moment, Du Ze, the Minister of Punishment, immediately said categorically: "Li Xiuyuan defied the order and refused to be executed. I am afraid that he may have rebel intentions. I suggest that an order be issued immediately to execute Li Xiuyuan."
"It's accurate." Zhao Guanjia pondered for a moment and said immediately.
Li Xiuyuan rebelled against his superiors, and even though he knew there was something fishy involved, he still had to kill him.
"Fu Tianchou, the minister of the Ministry of War, is Li Xiuyuan's father-in-law. Li Xiuyuan has grown in Yangzhou. Fu Tianchou is suspected of harboring and conniving. Now that Li Xiuyuan has committed rebellion, it is an unforgivable crime. I recommend that Fu Tianchou be dismissed from his post and stay outside the imperial city.
Killed with a stick to frighten Li Xiuyuan's disobedience, and his two daughters also
Those found guilty of serving as thieves should also be killed with a stick to demonstrate the majesty of His Majesty and the laws of the imperial court."
"This, this" Zhao Guanjia frowned and hesitated.
Then Li Xiuyuan can be killed, but Fu Tianchou is really reluctant to kill him. He is one of the few independent and direct ministers in the imperial court. If he kills him, the court will be unbalanced. When the officials impeached Li Xiuyuan before, he was not allowed to stay.
It was also because he wanted to strengthen the power of Fu Tianchou's faction so as to compete with other factions.
"Your Majesty, please give me permission to play." Before Zhao Guanjia could think about it, all the civil and military officials in the court stood up and shouted.
"Your Majesty, please give me permission to play."
"Your Majesty, please give me permission to play."
All the officials spoke in unison, their voices louder and louder each time, which made people's eardrums hurt. What was frightening was that the expressions, postures, and tones of these civil and military officials were exactly the same, just like well-trained troops with orders and prohibitions.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Guan's family couldn't help but become a little frightened. When did the situation in the court become like this?
He looked at the Imperial Master beside him, half-heartedly asking for help.
The kind-faced Imperial Master narrowed his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, please play the music accurately."
Zhao Guanjia opened his eyes wide and felt instantly enveloped in fear. His whole body felt as if he had fallen into cold water, with chills all over his body.
"Accurate, accurate."
In the end, he had no choice but to tremble and agree to Du Ze's proposal.
"Your Majesty has an order to remove Fu Tianchou from office and to kill him with a stick outside the imperial city," the Imperial Master said slowly with narrowed eyes. Then he clasped his hands together and said, "Your Majesty wants to kill Li Xiuyuan, so why not let me do the order?"
Go ahead, it has always been my duty to share your majesty's worries, please allow your majesty."
"Yes, yes." Zhao Guanjia said with fear.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The Imperial Master clasped his hands together, as calmly as an old monk. He squinted his eyes and looked outside the capital. He could already feel a bloody evil coming towards the imperial city.
If the prediction is correct, that Li Xiuyuan should have already dealt with the imperial troops outside Ruyi Square, and is now probably heading towards the imperial city.
Is it to kill himself and save his father-in-law and his wife?
"If I follow the imperial edict and use the fate of the country to suppress the fate of the saint and still can't kill him, it can only be because I have insufficient practice and insufficient luck. Even if I fail, there is nothing to complain about. If this matter can succeed for me
We will definitely achieve the status of Lord Buddha, Great Sun Tathagata." The heart of the National Master
Zhong secretly said that the state of mind that had been calm for many years now had ripples.
This is a catastrophe for the common people.
Whoever becomes enlightened will watch this battle.
"Huang Shilang, it's time for you Five Immortals to take action." The Imperial Master walked down from the Golden Palace and looked at Huang Shilang from the Ministry of Revenue and said.
He had long seen that this Huang Shilang was a weasel who had attained Taoism for a thousand years, and had cultivated into a demon immortal. He had been in the court for many years, and he was ranked as the Sixth Minister, which could be said to be a high-power position.
But who would have thought that this Huang Shilang was one of the five immortals of the Wutong Sect.
"I hope you won't disappoint us." Huang Shilang said with a twitch in his mouth.
"The general trend is with me, why worry about it not working out?" The Imperial Master smiled and said: "Are you afraid? Didn't you find that the four thunder gods patrolling in the sky have disappeared today? This is Li Xiuyuan going against God's will and acting in reverse.
Even the Thunder God of the Thunder Department is not willing to help him anymore."
"You are wrong. Although Li Xiuyuan has the ability to command ghosts and gods, he is also a mortal. He is not acting as a saint now, but as a mortal. Naturally, the God of Thunder will not be involved in this human disaster. At this moment
You should also hide." Huang Shilang said.
"This is the advantage of acting under the guise of a human body." said the Imperial Master.
They all have legitimate identities in the human world. One is a national master and the other is a minister. They are both high-ranking and powerful people. The God of Thunder in the sky cannot kill them as ordinary monsters.
Huang Shilang didn't say anything, and ignored the superior Zhao Guanjia. He cupped his fists and saluted, then turned around and left immediately.
"Then everyone, let's start taking action." Seeing this, the Imperial Master turned around and said.
"Yes, ancestor." All the civil and military officials said in unison with respectful expressions.
At this moment, outside Ruyi Square
After transferring Yan Chixia, Xia Houwu, Mao Wu and 500 cavalry to the third prince Zhao Jing, plus General Yaksha and more than a thousand forbidden troops, it can be said that more than 2,000 cavalry are already a very powerful force.
Already.
It was obvious that Li Xiuyuan had placed a lot of bets on him.
At this moment, the fighting in Ruyifang subsided, and then the troops split into two groups. The third prince led Xu Bao, Mao Wu and others to bypass the main entrance of the imperial city, take a side road, and soon disappeared on the street.
Along the way, Li Xiuyuan led 1,500 riders along the official road leading directly to the imperial city.
Iron hoofs stamped on the ground, and fine cavalry attacked.
Li Xiuyuan led the army in front and headed towards the imperial city without haste.
"Master Li, you moved several masters away, which greatly weakened your own power. I checked earlier and found that there is evil spirit entrenched, which is extraordinary." At this time, a young man in blue shirt was riding a horse.
He came and said with a solemn face.
"It's the second brother. Of course I know that there are dangers ahead. If the imperial master wants to kill me, he can only do it on this road." Li Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes slightly and pointed to the straight and spacious official road ahead.
"Once I break into the imperial city, he will lose."
Hu Lanyu said: "If this is the case, you should concentrate your efforts. I think it is taboo to divide the troops into two groups."
"No, second brother, you are wrong. The imperial master wants to kill me, so why don't I want to kill him? I asked the third prince to take a detour and break into the imperial city just to cut off his escape route and leave him with no way to retreat." Li
Xiu Yuan said: "Lest he hide in the palace and escape when he sees that the situation is bad."
"Although I'm in danger now, he also put himself in danger when he tried to kill me. This centipede doesn't understand why the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole leaves behind. But this time, I will help my second brother again.
Okay, this should be the last battle. Once this is over, I miss all the ghosts and gods in the world.
You can feel at peace now.”
After saying that, he rode on the dragon colt and led the cavalry forward.
Hu Lanyu followed on horseback without hesitation.
