Years later, facing the firing squad, the Six Gates will recall the hazy court that decided the fate of the Empire.

When it was close to the hour, the sky was dark, and the civil and military officials, who had already been confused by the falling stars, participated in the temporary early dynasty of the Queen Mother with black circles under their eyes.

Countless lanterns in the imperial city swayed with the crowd, looking like a sea of lights floating on the dark ground from a distance, and finally merged into the central hall of parliament.

It has been 300 years since the founding of Daheng, and the imperial city in front of it has taken nearly 30 years to repair, which not only has a complex palace dense, but also inherits the dragon vein relics of the past dynasties since the Qin Dynasty, and has always been the center of the humane dynasty.

Before the Emperor Collapse Incident, Emperor Wu led the elite of the Manchu Dynasty to patrol Huanglong Mountain, and more than 100 concubines and tens of thousands of female eunuchs and guards in the imperial city went together. In the night of rain and blood that followed, the gods killed a lot, and the imperial city was not spared, and most of the people left behind were emptied again.

After Xiao Qingshan took control of the court situation, let the only remaining prince ascend the throne, and the young queen mother, who was in a state of frightened birds, had quite scruples about supplementing the personnel of the imperial city, and eliminated many vacancies in the name of frugality, so the imperial city that should have been 30,000 is now only more than 5,000 people, and the huge area will inevitably be gloomy and cold at night, and many empty courtyards even have rumors of haunting.

As the master of the six gates, the wind and fire city naturally would not believe this kind of nonsense, but the emptiness of the imperial city is an indisputable fact. Even this meeting, which was crowded with a large number of people, was much inferior to the heyday of six years ago.

At that time, the ten-vein suzerain of the Heng Dynasty clan, the prince and noble of the title of founding hero, the civil and military officials of the Governor's Office and the cabinet, and the sage of the council representing the local family lords...... There are no less than 3,000 people in total, and if you count the envoys of the Martial Dao Sect, the Foreign Daomen, the Overseas Islands, the Quartet of the Fan Kingdom, the outstanding representatives of all walks of life, and the many leaders of the Merchant Guild School and Temple, the number of people in a court meeting held by Emperor Wu is probably more than 5,000.

And now it is two or three big cats and kittens, the elites who participated in the court meeting are now not one out of ten, the Heng Dynasty clan, the heroes and nobles, these two important forces are almost completely wiped out, and now most of the people who can participate in the court meeting are local officials to fill the vacancies, they are seriously affected by the faction, and there is no clan and nobles to check and balance, resulting in the Heng Dynasty Central Fragmentation, serious internal friction.

"The imperial family has declined, the new school has been abandoned, in order to transform the hearts and minds of the people and the world distorted by power and wealth, is this the end of the end? ”

Wind and Fire couldn't help but think of the words that his mentor, Zhuge Shenhou, the previous master of the six gates, had said to them.

"Although Heng is an old state, his life is renewed! Your Majesty and I have set off a new reform, not to change this world, but not to let this world change us!"

The words of those years are still in my ears, but he is the only one left alive in the speaker and the audience.

Immersed in helplessness and sentimentality, the wind and fire entered the political hall with the flow of people.

Nearly 1,000 people gathered in the majestic and unusual, simple and heavy furnishings of the Chengtian Palace, and many officials who entered the hall were strictly in accordance with their status under the guidance of the ceremonial officials.

After a while, a wisp of incense wafted out from all over the hall, and the melodious eight-tone music floated up, and all the officials in the hall left their chairs and leaned over together, welcoming the Queen Mother Regent in unison.

At the golden platform at the end of the main hall, behind the screen with carved gold and inlaid with various colored gemstones, incomparably gorgeous and rich, Shi Shiran, a young empress dowager wearing a red crown dress and the color of a captivating city, sat down.

"Congratulations, please. ”

"Your Highness Xie—"

After the officials below sat down, the court meeting officially began.

In the early years of the Heng Dynasty, at the beginning of Heng Taizu's business, it was stipulated that there were 185 kinds of important matters in various departments of the imperial court that the emperor must face the emperor, so that the court had a long time, and under the hard work of the emperors of the previous dynasties, sometimes even the afternoon dynasty and the evening dynasty had to be added. However, after the death of Emperor Wu, the Heng Dynasty ushered in its first little emperor. Without the workaholic Ming Jun, the Queen Mother of the Lin Dynasty often hid in the deep palace, and the court officials who came from this substitute were undoubtedly the easiest in the history of the Heng Dynasty.

With a lot of free time, and without royal supervision, intrigues and factions are rampant, and the seven bigwigs of the cabinet do nothing about it, resulting in a miasma of smoke in the entire court, and the prestige in the local area has dropped again and again.

It wasn't until the Queen Mother came to the court to weigh the system and issued a recruitment order that the entire court was reined in under pressure from all sides.

"What do you think about the changes in the sky last night?" The beauty behind the curtain spoke clearly, her eyes were blazing, as if she was holding a pearl of wisdom.

"Alas!" Zhang Jingzong, the first assistant to the cabinet, sighed at the high platform, and almost shed tears in his eyes: "There is an attack from the extraterritorial heavenly demons, and there is a disaster of abnormal changes in the heavens, and the incompetence of the ministers has caused the evil demons to run rampant, it is really embarrassing, ashamed!"

The distracted wind and fire heard that this was the speech of Zhang Jingzong, the first assistant of the cabinet. As the master of the six doors, he is naturally clear about the background of this first assistant.

As one of the three major intelligence agencies of the Heng Dynasty, the Six Gates, with the responsibility of supervising the martial arts sects of the world and spying on the intelligence of the Five Domains, is one of the most powerful armed organizations under the command of the Heng Dynasty.

The system of three prohibitions and seven seals around the dragon vein of the dynasty has been managed by exclusive institutions in all dynasties. The Six Gates is to manage the land ban, and it is a special organization specially established for the affairs of the land rivers and lakes, which integrates martial arts powerhouses, intelligence agents, and government arrests. Because of their strange actions, fierce methods, and special handling of major cases, the people widely recited the majesty and horror of the six gates.

With such a powerful institution in control, the Six Door Masters can be said to be one of the officials who know the most about the entire Heng Dynasty, but it is really because they know too much, so they are even more disheartened.

"The four great gods of Megatron at that time, the eight famous ...... Now there is only one left. ”

Wind and fire's eyes darkened, and he fell into memories again.

"Zhang Shoufu, why is this, the mourning family's virtue is shallow...... "The beauty behind the curtain opened her mouth to blame herself.

"It's the incompetence of the ministers......" a group of cabinet bigwigs made a statement.

The voices of both sides came into his ears, and he had no intention of listening to their routines, so Suo Luck turned off his sense of hearing and continued to immerse himself in his own world.

I don't know how long it took, but the six door masters, who were in a state of gloom, suddenly sensed a grand fluctuation.

"What happened to the dragon veins fluctuating?"

During the period of the Restoration in his memory, there were many bloody assassinations, and even in the court meeting, officials who shouted the name of Emperor Wu as a tyrant made assassinations with jade and stones.

Regularly explode artifacts, blessed land tribulation in the palm, the demon god strong man behind the painted skin, and the earth immortal assassin in the treasure offering...... During those turbulent thirteen years, he had seen many unbelievable assassination methods, and once something happened, the only way to quickly suppress it was to use the dragon vein.

"Everyone, please look at the missing corner of the southeast region, and the true monarch powerhouse of the Dao Gate is heading to this place. A eunuch-like official explained.

Relieved that nothing had happened, he looked up at the wave that caused the waves, which were a large map carved into the front wall of the high platform.

This map is about nine feet long and wide, the shape is simple and beautiful, the whole body is not gold, not jade, not iron, not stone, I don't know what material is made, but the whole body is moist, bright and bright, like water waves flowing there, faintly revealing the sun, moon and stars all kinds of strange light.

"The dragon vein cloud map, the prime minister's humane treasure of the world's rivers and mountains! The mountains and rivers of the 36 states of Yunlu are all reflected in this map!"

Feng Huocheng was surprised in his heart, since the resignation of Xiao Qingshan, the previous first assistant, the dragon vein cloud map was used in the court for the first time.

He gathered his eyes and looked at the cloud map, and felt an endless aura of grandeur and majesty rushing towards him, as if there was a supreme humane standing in front of everyone, waiting for everyone's worship.

The hearts of the Wenchen were shocked, and they felt that their spirits were trembling.

"Humane artifact, where can you civil officials who are not even great Confucians peep into. ”

Wind and Fire sneered in his heart, took a deep breath and forcibly went deep into the cloud map.

As his gaze deepened, there was a faint tsunami-like cheer in his ears, and it seemed that hundreds of millions of Li people were cheering for the dragon veins in the picture. A huge force of faith was entangled in the dragon vein, and the divine consciousness of the wind and fire was just a slight touch with this mental power, and there was a terrifying feeling that the soul was about to be crushed.

At this time, in the cloud map, more than a dozen points of light were flashing rapidly from west to south, arranging the dragon vein hubs of various states and counties and teleportation points, constantly showing their activity tracks.

Wind and Fire probed to the front of the point of light, and found that this point of light was magnified and turned out to be a majestic dog.

"I don't know whether to live or die! If you dare to go deep into the interior, aren't you afraid that we will use the dragon vein to suppress them?"

"Half a year ago, they gave Daomen the right to eliminate demons in the southern region, and now they enter in the name of eliminating demons...... According to the agreement of Yunlu three times, the dragon vein cannot be moved in this case. ”

"Hmph! It's all an excuse, in fact, you promised them a long time ago. ”

……

There was a sound of several divine thoughts colliding next to him, and he knew that this was the real principal of the various factions in the court, and he had no intention of falling into such a whirlpool, so Suo Xing retreated directly to the edge of the cloud map, secretly calculating how many real bigwigs there were in the court.

"Retro Party, Qing Turbidity Second-rate, Military Five Governors, Tianxia Guild, Jingshi Jimin Association, Baolong Family, Royalist Party, Donglin Party ......"

Wind and Fire retracted his gaze, these dozen or so factions should be the main factions in the court.

"Hey! teamed up to get rid of Xiao Qingshan, but no one dared to take responsibility, and finally let the local people pick up the cheap. After peeling off the mysterious mask, you are just a bunch of bastards!"

He laughed in his heart, and was once again disappointed in the current court, and once again returned to his dull-eyed and absent-minded demeanor.

After a while, the dragon vein cloud map closed and returned to its original wall carving form, and the storm in the court rose again.

Some ministers said in a deep voice: "The minister asks the Queen Mother to severely punish the Dragon Temple! The Dragon Temple is derelict in its care, resulting in the defect of the dragon vein, and accidents are rampant......

The dragon soul of Stone City appeared, and the immortal power that shook the heavens and the earth was almost felt by the immortal Dao powerhouses of the whole Yunlu, and the subsequent falling stars and celestial phenomena confirmed their conjectures.

"A bunch of nonsense!" A middle-aged official suddenly burst out of the middle of the court: "Zhaozhao celestial phenomena, see in operation." Humanity is contrary to the bottom, the effect is seen in the sky, harmony should be virtuous, and the demon is born out of government, what is the matter with the Dragon Temple?"

As soon as these words came out, the breath in the hall suddenly became dead silent, so depressed that it was almost lightning and thunder.

Which one is this anti-black?

More than 1,000 people in the main hall looked at the middle-aged officials and the dragon temple boss almost at the same time, pointing at the queen mother's nose and scolding the loss of government, so direct, so violent, and too untechnical.

"The minister thought that the squire of the criminal department relied on the power gate and overturned the flattery, in order to be flattering, and it was appropriate to carry out all the punishments!"

"The old thing is crazy. The middle-aged official was in good spirits when he saw the other party in battle, and this was a great opportunity for him to change his fate.

The operation in Stone Town failed, and the Retro Party, as the principal, bore the main responsibility, with the Dragon Vein being the most responsible. It can be said that the only existence that can destroy many peerless powerhouses overnight is the power of the dragon vein. If there is no dragon vein mutation, even if there is a supreme-level existence to make a move, I am afraid that it will be defeated in front of a strong person.

So unless this responsibility is shirked, the retro party will definitely be demoralized under the anger of the public.

This was a great opportunity in the eyes of the middle-aged official, and as a key member of the operation, he knew that the Baolong clan behind the Dragon Temple was not so innocent at all. Without their acquiescence, he would never have been able to bewitch the Dragon Vein Temple Zhu of Qiongya County and mislead the other party into thinking that they were just making the Dragon Vein temporarily invalid.

With this handle, which is not a handle, he can use himself as a pawn, and use his self-defiling identity as a breakthrough to muddy the waters. is done, you can share the responsibility on the Dragon Temple, and with the support of a group of bigwigs, you can successfully break through the ceiling of your family background. If you lose, you will also stir up the situation in the court.

This son is unscrupulous, and he is worthy of the title of "winning the sky and half a son". ”

Seeing that the junior disciples worked so hard, the Tongue Battle Dragon Temple was not left behind, and the leader of the retro party gave several bigwigs of the party a look.

In an instant, the old guys led by the Ministry of Rites spoke one after another, and the officials of the Department of Science and Technology also began to join the battlefield.

The Dai family of Jiangbei Confucianism, the Yu family of the scriptures, and the Han family of the descendants of the saints...... These veteran families in the Senate have supported the Ministry of Rites.

Witnessing such a big battle, the neutral faction led by the cabinet and the conservative faction that is ready to replace it, I realized what kind of heritage the retro party has had in the past few years.

"The retro party must not be allowed to turn over!"

More than a dozen party leaders reached a consensus in an instant and formed a common front to join the battlefield!

For a time, the entire council hall fell into a language storm, and all the civil and official groups took the stage.

The wind and fire are not interested in civil infighting, but the most central figure moves him, because it is his former right-hand man - Shengtian Banzi "Chess Tongwei".
