Outside the palace, 30,000 horses lined up in the square. Dozens of generals in front of them knelt on the ground with their arms tied, and said in unison: "Ministers and other capital crimes, please forgive Your Majesty." We are bewitched by King An, do not distinguish between right and wrong, and have a loss of loyalty, please punish Your Majesty, and the ministers will not give up. ”

The emperor stood on the high platform and said to the soldiers: "You are acting under the orders of King An, and your sins will not lead to death." Although you have extenuating circumstances, the law cannot be abolished. All 1,000-man generals will be demoted to 100-man guards. All soldiers shall be fined for one month. All other culpabilities are not counted. ”

When the soldiers heard the emperor's punishment, their hearts were moved. A fine of one month is equivalent to no penalty.

Dozens of generals are also grateful to Dade, and they have been demoted from a thousand-man general to a hundred-man guard. For them, it won't be a few years, and they can go back again. The emperor is benevolent and righteous, and he really lives up to his name.

The emperor said to the many guards and guards standing behind him: "Now, go and command these 38,000 men. Each person was directly promoted to one level, and the general of the Thousand People of the Innate Realm was directly promoted to the general. The first-class guard is promoted to the general, and the ordinary soldier is promoted to the third-level guard. ”

The crowd was bitter and ran quickly to the opposite side. In a few moments, 38,000 people were divided. The entire army was completely under the control of the emperor.

The lives of the ordinary people in Phoenix City are still light, and they don't know that a shocking change has taken place in the palace.

Yang Jiong walked onto the street, and there was an endless stream of small merchants and hawkers. The shops on both sides of the street are still thriving, and the faces of passers-by have not changed in the slightest. It's just that occasionally someone talks about the emperor's serious illness, and I don't know if he's better now.

Yang Jiong admired King An very much, such a big rebellion, he could do it so secretly. Thousands of people fight every day, and the people in Phoenix don't know that life is still leisurely.

The next day, the emperor went to court, and hundreds of officials entered the palace. Only a very small number of the officials and generals who took refuge in King An fled. Most of them were guilty of pleading guilty, and took the initiative to kneel in front of the Qiankun Palace.

A part of the neutral officials looked at the emperor on the dragon chair. Like a small quail under the gaze of an eagle, trembling.

The happiest are the officials who have always stood firm and stood on the side of the emperor. In particular, several officials who followed the emperor from birth to death and were forced into the Yinghua Palace. Seeing the people kneeling in front of the hall, they couldn't help but say, they basically rushed over and punched and kicked them first.

There was a military attache who was slapped in the face by several civilian officials and was ready to resist. Anyway, it's just a dead word, dead dead, dead a hundred.

The official who beat him whispered: "Don't resist, we beat you, in fact, it is for your good." If you don't let the emperor get angry, how can you and your family be safe. As he spoke, he was slapped in the face and struck him in the face, and his face immediately swollen.

The military attache closed his eyes, looked up, and let them fight.

The emperor looked at the dragon chair for a while and said, "Enough, King An and Sima Changfeng are the first offenders." The first offender has been punished, and the others are only joint and several crimes, and there is no need to be overly prosecuted. Each of you will be demoted to three levels, fined for half a year, and other crimes will not be pursued. ”

Such a light punishment surprised the officials kneeling on the ground. They wept bitterly and shouted that the emperor was benevolent and holy.

King An and Sima Changfeng were taken to the main hall. King An had a cloak on his head, and there were still blood stains on the corners of his mouth, and it seemed that the internal injuries were not light.

He looked at the eldest brother on the dragon chair, looked at it, and began to laugh wildly.

Sima Changfeng arrived at the hall, bowed his head and said nothing, looking like he was being slaughtered. The sharp gap in status, just one day and one night, he was already disheartened.

The emperor looked at King An quietly and did not say a word. An official shouted angrily: "Be bold against the thief, and when you arrive at the court, you don't want to repent, and you dare to laugh wildly." He rushed over, took the wat board in his hand, and hit King An's mouth.

King An was tied with a cow tendon rope, and the true qi on his body was sealed, and he was like an ordinary person, unable to resist with luck. He was beaten by the wat board and his mouth was bleeding, and several teeth were knocked out, but he still laughed wildly.

The official hit him a few more times, and when he saw that King An's face was covered with blood, he was still laughing wildly. He was afraid in his heart, and he used more force to break the wat board in two.

The Emperor shouted, "Enough, stand down." The official reluctantly stepped back into his place.

King An stopped laughing wildly, and several teeth were knocked out. He said vaguely: "Big brother, you see, this is the official under you, and this is the pillar of the country that helps you govern the country." ”

King An turned his head to look left and right while mocking, his eyes were extremely contemptuous, and the officials he saw couldn't help but shiver a few times.

King An continued: "If you become a king or lose a king, I have nothing to say. has been brewing hard for decades, just because of a Yang Jiong, I have fallen behind, and God will not kill me. After speaking, he violently picked up his true qi and rushed to his heart.

His dantian true qi was sealed and could not be released. However, there are still two dantians in the body, the upper and the middle, and the true qi can run between the meridians of the torso. True Qi shattered his heart, and King An bled to death.

Sima Changfeng has been watching the situation in the main hall, King An committed suicide, and he knew that he would not be spared. He said to the emperor: "This rebellion against King An is purely a hot head. Please don't be angry with the other disciples of the Dao Sect, several of my personal disciples have died in battle, and all the sins will be borne by me. ”

After he finished speaking, he wanted to be like King An, wanting to break his heart and commit suicide. He tried several times in a row, but he couldn't succeed.

His jade pillow was injured by Zhengde, and the true qi of the upper dantian could not go down. When Yang Jiong left, he sealed his middle and lower two dantians.

The emperor glanced at him a few times and said, "You have been famous for decades, and you can be regarded as a great contributor to Biluo Country." Today I will spare you from capital sin, but not from living sin. After speaking, his body was like a big eagle, and he flew from the dragon chair to Sima Changfeng, and after a palm imprint on his lower dantian, he returned to the dragon chair.

The lower dantian is the foundation of martial arts, and it is also the ultimate place where true qi belongs. Although the upper and middle dantians can temporarily retain true qi, without a sea of qi, true qi cannot exist for a long time.

The Lower Dantian is the last home of True Qi, and when the Lower Dantian is destroyed, the martial arts are basically abolished.

With just one palm, he wasted Sima Changfeng's skills. From then on, Sima Changfeng and ordinary people have no doubt.

The rope on Sima Changfeng's body was cut by the emperor casually. He spit out a few mouthfuls of blood and said: "Thank you Emperor for your grace not to kill, Your Majesty is benevolent." Biluo country is in your hands, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and they are peaceful. If it is handed over to King An to manage Biluo, I am afraid that there will be misery and smoke, and you will be the blessing of the people of Biluo. ”

With that, he stumbled out of the hall. At this time, he was abolished from martial arts, and he was just an ordinary old man in his nineties. There is no longer the original high-spirited and commanding state.

Sima Changfeng left the palace without anyone stopping him all the way. He went out of the palace gate and looked up at the sky. The vicissitudes of heaven and earth, the starlight is vast, and he merges into the flow of people and disappears.

Wang Chuyang and a group of courtiers were discussing matters, and a warrior outside the door reported loudly: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will lead the Praetorian Guard army back to the city and wait outside the palace." ”

The emperor said happily: "The crown prince is back, it's great." Zhongqing's family, come with me to greet the prince. ”
