Chapter 194: Life and Death
Li Wei thought about the last letter to warn Guan Qianyi, this battle of civil strife, she hoped that it would end smoothly from her, she had obtained the help of the Sui clan, so that he should not be so impatient and not use force.
The sound of the bell chime is endless, and there are waves of wisps from the sky above the Qingji Altar, which is inspiring and nervous.
"Let's go, the bell rings for the second time."
The Qingji altar was originally a place where the royal sacrifice was made, and ceremonies were also held here when encountering heavy dΓ sacrifice festivals. The appraisal meeting was chosen to be held here, first, for solemnity, indicating that the royal family viewed this matter with the highest courtesy; Second, for safety, the Qingji altar is only limited to the royal and specific people to enter the field, a separate palace, the inside and outside handles are tight, easy to defend and difficult to attack; However, this time, in order to show openness and fairness, the participants were expanded to include ordinary people.
The people knew that they could also participate in the verification meeting this time, and waited outside the palace early in the morning. Qingjitan opened the north gate that had never been opened, allowing ordinary people to enter from then on and become a party in the public seat.
Many courtiers disagreed with this dangerous move, after all, the Assassin was likely to enter the arena disguised as civilians, and how could he save the Assassin if he carried out an assassination during the forensic meeting?
Some students have also discussed that this measure is inappropriate, and the people listen to all kinds of suggestions, as long as they are allowed to enter the venue to watch, they can accept any kind of inspection.
It was also mentioned that if the Assassins took ordinary people hostage and threatened His Majesty, what would happen to His Majesty?
Thinking of this, some timid people have flinched, and their lives are not a joke, although it is a royal sacrificial place, but it is too dangerous.
Therefore, when entering the Qingji Altar Beichen, there is really a huge truss, on which are written three big characters of life and death, and a few words indicate that the royal family has the obligation to maintain the cleanliness and safety of the venue, and the people enter the venue under the protection of the royal family, but if there is an emergency, it is difficult for the lives of the people to be fully protected, so I hope that the people who enter the venue will consider it seriously, and if they feel that the identification will be worth entering the venue, they need to sign their names on this life and death certificate.
The people blocked in front of the north gate, buzzing and talking, not knowing whether they should desperately go in and take a look.
A big man squeezed in front of the door, picked up the pen neatly and wrote his name in front of the truss with a few strokes, put the pen down, and laughed, "What's there to hesitate about?" His Majesty's true face and the rare royal infighting in a hundred years, it is worth it for Lao Tzu to take a look at it and die! Hahaha-"
These words are full of pride, but unfortunately most of the people still spare their lives and dare not be too bold.
After a while, another student signed, "The Imperial City is solid, won't Your Majesty deal with this matter?" If it's really dangerous, will Your Majesty still appear? Shh
"Well, Lao Tzu likes to watch these royal secrets, anyway, Lao Tzu is alone, and his mother-in-law is long gone, if you don't go in, you won't go in!"
"yes, that's a lot better than singing a big show, right? What's more, you have to pay for singing a big opera? β
"Haha, such a fun thing, this son has been waiting for a long time! Let's go, a few of you sign autographs together, and accompany Childe into the arena together! "It was a young master and a few family members who said this, and they went in in groups.
"Lao Tzu brought a knife to cut the old thief of the Qi family, this knife is for self-defense! Hey, don't, don't catch me, can't I not bring a knife? Lao Tzu almost entered the Praetorian Guard back then! Brother Guard, we know it's wrong. β
"In order to see His Majesty, let's go in too!"
"Get out of the way, don't block here if you don't have the courage to sign, get in the way!"
"Hey, I'm going to go in and have a look, and hand me the ink!"
More and more people are signing on the truss, and soon the huge life and death form is covered with all kinds of handwriting, some people do not recognize the words, so they took the ink and pressed the finger print, a little red, if the red plum blooms, look festive.
"If this life and death situation is recorded in history in the future, I will be on the list!"
Seeing that the people had begun to boil, the guards guarding the north gate couldn't help but snort a few times, and then said loudly:
"General Yan Guo has an order, the seats at the Qingji altar are limited, and the ordinary people only have a hundred seats, and if they pass, they will be restricted!"
The people gradually went crazy, and some of them were timid and wanted to retreat, but when they saw this formation, they also became hot-headed, and rushed forward to sign autographs, for fear that they would be one step slower and lose their seats.
The Qingji altar as a whole resembles a circular colosseum, and of course, the main sacrificial point is located on the central round platform of the large semicircular seats, which have now been paved with many distinguished seats, and there is no one on it at the moment. Ordinary people's seats are flanked by guard handles, forming two shields, blocking the possibility of connecting with other seats.
"Where did you come from?" The people can't wait to see their majesty earlier.
"Isn't there a gap in where we are sitting? Look at that, His Majesty and the distinguished guests must have gone up to the round platform from there. β
"It's good to come in, otherwise I would have regretted my death! My heart is beating so hard now, what should I do? β
"You're a useless person!"
"Are you promising? Why do you keep shaking your hands? β
Cigarettes were lit on the Dading incense burners on both sides of the round platform.
As the third bell struck, the people were silent, and only the sound of the bell could be heard continuously, and people kept coming to the stage at the round platform. First there were some guards and necessary palace people, then eunuchs and master of ceremonies, then related personnel of the royal family, and then important ministers of the first rank.
When Master Yankong entered, the people were in awe, and when Master Yankong stood in the position of master of ceremonies, the people sighed, this major event really had to be presided over by Master Yankong himself.
Subsequently, the Qi family, the Cheng family and others entered, and sat on the right side of the round platform, while a column of guards followed behind them. Taishi Qi was displeased when he saw this, but he still endured it and did not get angry.
Accompanying Li Wei were Qi Jinyu and his wife Ren Jiajia.
The people saw the true faces of the two heroines, and felt that they had seen a peerless beauty for a while.
"Oops, I was really caught off guard, I really didn't have a veil!" The people were crazy for a while, and they were struck three times by the swords of the guards on both sides, and they didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so they had to talk in a low voice.
"It's worth it if I'm dead."
"However, our majesty is more heroic."
"The girl of the Ren family is more feminine, look at that figure, Qi Jinyu is really blessed."
"Look at the appearance of His Majesty, this bearing, it really has the style of the emperor, is this bloodline still fake?"
"You people are too superficial, what kind of face and figure do you see, why didn't anyone think that His Majesty had such an identity, why did he appear with the girl of the Ren family? Is this respect too much? After all, it's just a woman who doesn't know where she came from. β
"That's our majesty, isn't it?"
"Hey, there's someone coming up, who is he?" The people thought that seeing His Majesty on stage should be the last character to appear in the finale, but they didn't expect that there were still people, and there was only one person.
"Why is this strangely dressed man with such short hair? What country are you from? β
"Could it be that His Majesty invited someone from another country to be a notary?"
"Hey, no, this is Master Qingyi! It's him, that's right, he came to our country with the envoy of the Xiyu Kingdom at that time, and then he temporarily lived in the Regent's Palace, isn't he from the Xiyu Kingdom? Why don't you go back to the country of Xiyu with the envoys? β
Master Qingyi saluted the audience, and then saluted Master Yan Kong and the courtiers and VIPs, and then sat down in the seat next to Li Wei.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the site of the first verification meeting held by Beichen Kingdom." Master Yan Kong spoke, and the voice echoed on the marble of the steps next to him, and the sound expanded several times, resounding throughout the entire Qingji Altar, and even the people outside the palace wall could hear it clearly.
"This seat is the presiding officer of this verification meeting, not commenting on the facts, just a presiding. I believe that the events that have occurred in the imperial city in the past half month have been heard and witnessed by everyone. The two century-old families of the Beichen Dynasty, the Qi family and the Cheng family, brought Ren Jiajia, a girl who is said to be the orphan of the first emperor, and she has a mark on her elbow, which is said to be the Fengling mark inherited by the emperor's family, which we will verify step by step later. So, in order to exercise the principle of fairness and justice, we have brought in a personβ"
Master Yan Kong did not introduce the characters first, but first told a piece of history-
"Have you ever heard of rumors about the Sui tribe? The Sui people are the auxiliary ministers of the co-lord of the world, hidden between the mountains, and the traces are difficult to find, but once they come out of the mountains, they must bring a prosperous scene. Therefore, the lord of the kingdom chosen by them must also be a king that is rare to see in a hundred years. β
As soon as Master Yan Kong said this, Master Qi was dissatisfied, "We all know what the master said. But master, don't think that if you just make a person who lies and claims to be from the Sui clan, you can choose who is the real Beichen royal bloodline here? β
Lu Xiao, who was behind Li Wei, stood up and looked at Taishi Qi, his eyes were sonorous, "Taishi Qi's words are biased, the host of Yankong did not say which one is a Sui, how can Taishi conclude that this is a Suizu person we invited casually?" Is it like the Taishi casually invited an orphan of the royal family who claimed to have the mark of the emperor? β
The old face of Taishi Qi who was sprayed by these words turned red: Before Ren Jiajia's identity was unknown, no one would assert the truth of this girl's identity now; In the same way, when the identity of the Sui people is unknown, he really should not assert that others are fake.
Li Wei and Beichen Lu were full of smiles, Lu Xiao said this too well!
Qi Taishi was accused of losing his old face at the beginning, and he caught a glimpse of the guards in the row behind him, and said with anger, "I sincerely come here to verify the meeting, what is the purpose of your majesty to arrange so many guards?" Could it be that it is specifically designed to disturb our sincerity? β
Li Wei raised her eyebrows: "I was originally thinking about the safety of the Taishi, since Taishi Qi felt that someone was too nervous watching from behind, I just withdrew, I very much hope to coexist peacefully with the Taishi." "The guards were originally a move by her, and they did have the intention of disturbing the morale of the army, but it didn't hurt to withdraw, but it seemed that Qi Taishi was too cautious and unconfident.
A righteous and awe-inspiring remark satirized that Master Qi was too timid, and the people heard it clearly, and couldn't help whispering, this Master Qi is too ungraceful, this little thing has to be brought up, it seems that he has a weak heart.
Master Yan Kong continued to say calmly, "Master Tai, don't worry, how do the people of the Sui clan determine the truth or falsehood, we don't count, we naturally have to look at the evidence." Everyone should also remember that there are things related to the seal of the Beichen Imperial Family. My Beichen royal family is very favored, and since the founding ancestor of the country, Emperor Yingyu, there has been a matter of the Fengling flower imprint. But not every person who inherits the throne will have this mark, but once this mark appears, he must be the dragon and phoenix among the people, and he must be the first choice for the Beichen Emperor. β
"Therefore," Master Yan Kong looked at Ren Jiajia, "if this girl really has the mark of the emperor, I will tell His Majesty, even if the Zen position is given to her." β
The people were excited, the applause was thunderous, Master Yan Kong pressed them with his palm, and the people suddenly quieted down.
Qi Taishi and the others were already restless, Cheng Guogong's beard was also shaking badly, and he looked at Li Yuetian, who was passing by in disguise on the side, and still looked indifferent about himself, he was in a mood, and glanced at Qi Taishi, and after the two looked at each other, they looked away disdainfully.
Ren Jiajia was nervous when she heard this book, Qi Jinyu held her hand and signaled her to calm down.
Master Yan Kong: "Speaking of the Feng Ling Flower Mark, then apart from the previous emperors, who else can distinguish the authenticity of the Feng Ling Flower Mark?" Do you know? The founding emperor of Yingyu, who has the imprint of the emperor, is assisted by the clear sky master of the Sui clan; Emperor Chongxuan, who has the imprint of the emperor, also has the assistance of the Sui clan Fei Qing Xiangguo; Emperor Shen Shu, who has the imprint of the emperor, has the full cooperation of Master Yiwen, the patriarch of the Sui clan, so that the five continents have been merged, so that the territory of Beichen has expanded and prospered to this day! β
Master Yan Kong's sonorous and powerful sentences, every time he said a word, it made people's hearts inspired, and the people felt that they were born in Beichen because of God's favor.
"And so far-" Master Yan Kong raised his voice and looked at Qingyi, "This is a master from all over the world, originally a famous wandering monk, the law name Qingyi, because he followed the co-lord of the world, he came to Beichen, this time he was invited to attend, because he is the one hundred and thirty-first disciple of the Sui clan. β
The audience was in an uproar, there was a ran, there was worship, and of course more excitement: the Sui people came to Beichen, what does this mean? It shows that this generation of outstanding emperors is in Beichen!
"Everyone, please be quiet, I said at the beginning, I said that he is from the Sui tribe, and it is not credible."
The people shouted that this was Master Qingyi, and what else could be trusted or not. For them, the prosperity of their country is more important than anything else, and it is important to make people happy. Of course, they also tried their best to cooperate with Master Yan Kong's words, suppressed the excitement in their hearts, and gradually calmed down.
Monk Qingyi got up and began the first sentence of the day:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't count if I say Qingyi's identity myself, so I will ask my people to show you a few things."
Four Sui people wearing monk cloths but with long hair, wearing veils and incumberate decorations on their heads, each took several trays and a picture scroll, lined up, and stood in the center.
Qingyi explained to everyone one by one, "This is a jade pendant on behalf of the Sui clan, with a light on it given by the patriarch himself; This box contains the eagle eyes that the Sui clan once received from Emperor Chongxuan of the Beichen Imperial Family, praising our people for their eagle-like keen intuition; As for this picture scroll, it is a scroll of rivers and mountains drawn by Emperor Beichen Yingyu and Master Clear Sky together, and the banner is victorious over ten thousand scrolls of rivers and mountains.
