Chapter 405: Assassination
Soon, a eunuch sent a red sandalwood seat, which was at the front of everyone. There is quite a tendency of one person below and above ten thousand.
Ji Yan was not allowed to sit down, causing everyone present to look strange, but they were silent.
Without him, the owner of this place is a yellow-mouthed child, and the head of them all is a weak-crowned boy.
Although both of them seem to be quite precocious and steady, their age is there, so that a group of people in their seventies and eighties, the youngest is over half a hundred. How embarrassing!
It's just that they can't find fault with it, Chengwang is the grandson and prince of the emperor, so there is nothing to say. Ji Yan's military generals and civil officials are all four grades, and they are the members of both civil and military affairs, second only to Xiang Yufei, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. But it is the Duke of Wuguo, whose title is unbeatable, several levels higher than Xiang Yufei, who has the highest title present, not to mention those who don't even have a title!
Who wants to think that Ji Yan is young and underestimated, think about Huang Roll, the Wucheng King of the Nine Kings of the Great Shang Dynasty who has been in the world for a hundred years, was killed by his own hands. Just be honest!
The title of Duke of Wuguo was obtained by stepping on the corpse of King Wucheng Huang Roll, and no one could find fault with it.
More importantly, Wu Guogong Ji Yan. It seems to be young, but it has a fruitful record. The battle soul killed the king of heaven, killed the genius of Taiyimen, went south to serve as the city lord in blood, slaughtered the Wushuang City, and suppressed the bandits and angry mountains. Bloody battle Ji County, ambush and kill King Wu Cheng, bloody Xiangtang, fierce battle Tong Mountain, etc., just looking at these deeds, you know that Wu Guogong is stepping on countless corpses, all the way to the blood, is a ruthless, decisive and bloody master!
"Why is Duke Wu in a hurry to lead his army to besiege Xia Mansion?"
The atmosphere of the hall was quite silent, and Emperor Chengwang took the lead in asking, but the childish sound was not gone, but it was also a little majestic.
"His Royal Highness the King of Cheng! In extraordinary times, extraordinary methods are practiced! The minister has reliable information and evidence, and the Xianyang Xia clan colluded with the angry knife, blood whip, butterfly and other major members of the border assassination case, and they are involved in many anti-forces. Now that the rebel army is about to come to the city, in order to avoid chaos and mistaken major events in the eastern capital, the old minister has to cut it first and then play, and the thunder will be destroyed, please Your Highness to investigate!"
Ji Yan sat upright in his chair, and said calmly with a look of righteousness and awe-inspiring attitude for the country and the people.
"Oh, it's a pity that the Xia clan ......" Di Jiao responded, obviously just asking procedurally, and didn't care much!
Xiang Yufei arched his hand and asked, "Dare to ask Wu Guogong, I don't know what reliable news and evidence do you have?" After all, the Xia family is a wealthy family in the eastern capital, and they also control the military power of Henan County, and if they break out, I am afraid that the opportunity is not very suitable!"
"Because of this, this prince wants to be destroyed by thunder, otherwise the rebels are coming to the city, if the Xia clan takes the opportunity to make trouble, who can afford this responsibility?!"
For Xiang Yufei, Ji Yan was not so respectful, just nodded politely, and responded as a matter of course. He continued, "Lord Shangshu is not clear, the Xia family has already admitted by himself, and at that time, there were representatives of Dade Temple, Dugu Clan, White Horse Temple, Dexing Bofu, Pingkou Chenggong and other representatives as evidence. ”
"Oh, and this?" Xiang Yufei said in a stunned response.
Since Xia himself admitted it, the evidence or anything is naturally not important.
Of course, Xiang Yufei is not to avenge the Xia family or have an opinion on Ji Yan, but he is just responsible for interrogation, so as not to open his mouth in the suburbs of Emperor Cheng, just like that, it will be gone, and it will be dignified!
Ji Yan glanced at everyone present, and responded lightly: "Well, according to the Xia clan patriarch Xia Long himself, the assassination case at the border pass also involved many super forces such as the Dugu clan, the White Horse Temple, and the Taiyi Sect.
"Uh......"
Including Di Jiao and Xiang Yufei, everyone present was stunned and shocked, and the atmosphere suddenly stagnated, looking depressed and dull.
This is the reaction brought about by power, the gathering of the strong, and the change of emotions will cause obvious changes in the airflow, breath, atmosphere, etc.
"Amitabha! How can the words of the crazy struggle of the anti-thief in the last days be taken seriously? Fortunately, the martial arts are both civil and military, shrewd and far-sighted, and know the good deeds of the soldiers, and they will be destroyed and strangled as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless troubles in the future!
An old monk with white eyebrows, with a solemn appearance, sighed with compassion on his face, but obviously slapped Ji Yan high.
"......" Ji Yan looked at the old monk suspiciously.
Xiang Yufei said in time: "This is the first seat in the front hall of the White Horse Temple, the representative of the White Horse Temple's negotiations with the imperial court. ”
The White Horse Temple is known as the first temple of Buddhism in the West, and there are sayings such as "Ancestral Garden" and "Shiyuan", the power is unfathomable, it is a behemoth, and there are naturally many positions of all kinds.
The so-called first seat in the front hall is the supreme host of the White Horse Temple in charge of foreign affairs, just like the Ministry of Rites, to put it bluntly, the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Of course, since it is the first seat of the White Horse Temple, the power is naturally extremely terrifying, and it is estimated that it is no less than the Juechen Master of the four first seats of the Shaolin Temple killed by Ji Yan, that is, the peak great evolutionary of the level of the demon queen!
Ji Yan smiled and nodded, and said comfortingly, "What Zen Master Benjue said is extremely true, and my father also thinks so, how can the words of a thief be taken seriously!"
According to Ji Yan's knowledge, the White Horse Temple is now a "wide source of heart, Benjue is prosperous, can be benevolent and shengguo, and often performs magnanimity", and there are already disciples of the Changzi generation.
It is conceivable that the seniority of the Zen master of Benjue is very high.
"Amitabha! Wu Guogong is wise and wise, has both ability and political integrity, is loyal to the monarch and the country, and sees thousands of miles, which is really the blessing of great merchants and the blessing of the common people!"
Zen Master Benjue announced another Buddha name, and praised it repeatedly.
Hearing Ji Yan and everyone present, their expressions were strange, in order to appease Ji Yan, the White Horse Temple really said good things, the demeanor of the peak great evolutionary?
No wonder it's the first seat in the front hall, not only is it a cultivation force, but this cheeky and eloquent person is also worthy of it!
A wealthy middle-aged man in a marquis's purple robe sneered and said, "Joke! I, the Dugu clan, am recognized as a loyal minister of the Great Shang, and the family of the Miaoshan Bodhisattva, how could I assassinate the Holy Lord? Do something unfavorable to the Great Shang?!"
Miaoshan Bodhisattva refers to the Dugu clan, the empress dowager of the Great Shang, and Emperor Yi Yang Jian and called the two saints.
"This is the son of the Marquis of Jianzhong, Dugu Chan, the representative of the Xianyang Dugu clan!" Xiang Yufei and friendly Chuanyin introduced.
Dugutuo is the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Dugu of the Great Shang, the sixth brother, and a famous historical general. His son Dugu Chan naturally had an extraordinary identity and continued the title of his father Dugu Tuo.
"What you said doesn't count, what my father said doesn't count, and what Sharon said doesn't count. However, what the facts are, this father will find out!"
Dugu Chan waved his hand and responded arrogantly, paused, suddenly reacted, glared at Ji Yan angrily and asked, "What do you mean by Wu Guogong? Do you think that my Dugu clan really participated in the assassination case at the border pass?"
Dugu clan, along the Dugu Hun part of Beidi, is a surname that is sinicized with the name of the tribe.
Ji Yan is a reflection of Dugu's heart, but fortunately, Dugu Chan is not too stupid, and his reaction is very fast!
Including Emperor Jiao, Xiang Yufei and others, they were shocked for a while, they didn't expect that Duke Wu would dare to tease even the Queen Mother's family, it was really arrogant and cruel!
"It's not my opinion, it's what Sharon said. Of course, this duke will be aware of everything, and Marquis Jianzhong doesn't need to worry!" Ji Yan responded with a smile.
