240, the Great Pilgrimage

Shen Du didn't know about the turmoil in the capital, and he was preparing to go to court at the moment.

Outside the palace, horse-drawn carriages drove slowly, many military generals rode horses, many civil officials sat in carriages, and some sat in sedan chairs.

Different official positions naturally lead to different treatments.

Because the palace gate has not yet opened, everyone can only wait outside the palace gate.

Everyone in the audience seemed calm, but they had different thoughts.

During this time, everyone had more or less some understanding of what happened in the capital.

The East Palace has been silent for a long time, and now it is suddenly holding a court meeting, which will inevitably arouse suspicion.

Everyone whispered and discussed the purpose of the meeting.

"What do you think the prince wants to do when he suddenly convenes a council this time?"

"It can't be for the case of Tobe Shiro, right?"

"Isn't that a final decision?"

"I'm afraid it's another bloody storm today."

At this time, several horse-drawn carriages were slowly approaching in the distance, and they were driven by the cabinet elders.

With the arrival of a group of pavilion elders, it was also time for the palace gate to open, and the palace gate slowly opened.

"Smack!"

With the sound of a whip, the palace door was completely opened.

The civil and military officials who had been waiting for a long time also entered one after another.

……

At the same time, a piece of news spread completely in Beijing.

The Shaolin monk died of his death, and his head was hung above the city gate.

As soon as this news came out, a storm was immediately set off, and many people who did not believe in evil ran to the city gate to watch it in person.

Inner City, Nine Emperors' Annex.

Now the Shaolin monks who have entered Beijing one after another have been arranged here.

Including the Shaolin Kongzi monks who left the Qianguo at the beginning, and later separated from Kongwen, Kongzhi.

However, Kong Zhi rarely paid attention to the affairs of Beijing, and when he came to Beijing, he only retreated and meditated in his room, and even the monks of Shaolin rarely saw him.

"Uncle!"

Outside the room, Yuantong's anxious voice came, with a hint of urgency in his words.

In the room, Kong Zhi slowly opened his eyes, recited a Buddha horn, and stopped the wooden fish in his hand.

"What?"

A flat voice came from the room, and Sorachi's face was cold, and his expression did not change in the slightest.

Yuantong hesitated for a moment, his face was ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "Just now, there was news in Beijing, and I heard that Uncle was ...... Passed away. ”

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a strong momentum erupted in the room!

The door of the house opened with a bang!

Howling waves!

Kong Zhi's eyes widened angrily, his long eyebrows flew, his huge eyes stared at Yuantong, and he said sharply: "What's the matter?" ”

This news struck him like a lightning strike!

At the beginning, the two of them were separated, and they went to subdue the demon by the abbot's decree, but now how can they pass away?

Yuantong's chest rose and fell, he felt a strong pressure, his knees sank slightly, his hands were folded, and he arched his hands: "It is rumored in Beijing that Uncle Kongwen's head was hung above the city gate, and I have sent a disciple to investigate this matter, and it is indeed true."

"Adversary!"

"How dare you!?"

Sora Chi suddenly let out a loud shout.

A fierce aura instantly dispersed, and the originally gentle face was now full of anger.

Among the four monks of Shaolin, Kong Zhi was born in the Discipline Academy, and since he stepped into the Dharma Elephant, he resigned from the first seat of the Discipline Academy.

The precept institute has always been a place to punish monks who have committed precepts, and at the same time, the demon disciples who were captured by the Shaolin monks and put into the temple will also be sent to the precept institute.

Over time, these monks will be somewhat tainted with some murderous aura.

Therefore, the monks of the Discipline Institute were notoriously short-tempered in the Shaolin courtyards.

Although Kong Zhi is known as a Shaolin monk, it does not mean that he is a gentle-tempered person.

Kong Zhi has killed countless people in his life, and when he was young, he walked the rivers and lakes without knowing how many bandits and murderers, and the demon died in his hands.

These people add up to thousands if not 10,000, and this murderous aura is heavier than many demonic people.

"Adversary!"

"An dares to bully me like this Shaolin!"

It's just a matter of killing people, and now hanging your head above the city gate is clearly humiliating.

If this matter spreads in the rivers and lakes, how will they Shaolin gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes in the future.

"Let's go!"

Sora got up and left the courtyard angrily.

……

A group of monks came to the gate of Yanjing City in a fierce manner.

When the people gathered under the city gate saw Kong Zhi and the others, their hearts were suddenly shocked and they scattered one after another.

Soon, a path was automatically split into the field.

Kongzhi paused, looked up at the head hanging from the city wall, and his face became extremely cold.

"Too much deception!"

As soon as the words came out, it seemed to be thunder!

The strong momentum is instantly vented!

Sen Han's qi stirred the wind and clouds, causing the wind and clouds to change color, and the whole world was darkened.

The momentum like a mountain spreads out, like a giant mountain pressing down.

The surrounding people were shocked and scattered, looking at this scene in horror.

"Shaolin Monk Kongzhi!"

Someone seemed to recognize Kongzhi's identity, and immediately let out an exclamation.

The matter of Kongzhi's entry into Beijing is very hidden, and few people know about it, and now seeing Kongzhi appear here is extremely surprising to everyone.

"Presumptuous!"

Not long after Kong Zhi released his breath, two breaths suddenly burst out in Jingzhong, accompanied by a loud shout.

In the snap of a finger, two figures came in an instant!

These two people are Cui Jingsheng and Zhan Hongyan, and their momentum is pressed towards Kongzhi in an instant.

In an instant, the invisible majestic momentum collided in the void, like two dragons fighting.

Howling in the air!

Cui Jingsheng said sharply: "Yanjing Heavy Land, how can you act recklessly!" ”

"Kong Zhi, you are provoking me Da Yan!"

Once the giant spirit helped Sun Hechuan to make a move in Beijing, which was a shame, but now Kong Zhi has made a move again, where will they put their face?

Is it really no one in Dayan?!

Kong Zhi said coldly: "My junior brother's head is hanging here, what is the reason for daring to ask?" ”

Hearing Kong Zhi's question, Cui Jingsheng also had a headache.

He only learned about Shen Du's move this morning, and even the news of Shen Du's return to Beijing was only known to him not long ago.

Even he didn't expect that Shen Du would come to such a show.

How did the key gossip die?

If he was really killed by Shen Du, then what kind of realm did Shen Du reach now.

Cui Jingsheng asked unceremoniously: "I was arrested by the empty news that I was arrested by six gates, what should I do about this?" ”

"According to the law, attacking and killing the court officials is a capital crime!"

No matter what the inside story is, he must protect Shen Du.

Sorachi's face was gloomy, and he was hunting in the strong wind in his robe.

Yuantong hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "Uncle Shi, this place is the ...... of Dayan Capital City."

If it is in Qianguo, if anyone dares to do this, they will definitely suffer the wrath of their Shaolin.

But this place is Dayan, and no matter how strong Shaolin's power is, it is beyond the reach of the whip.

Kong Zhi said coldly: "Return my senior brother's head!" ”

Cui Jingsheng was about to speak, when suddenly a figure walked out of the city wall.

"No way!"

Xu Chong stood on the city wall, condescending, and said loudly: "My lord said that such a traitor who does not respect the king's law should hang his body here and expose his body for three days!" ”

Xu Chong seemed to be calm, but his legs and stomach were actually spinning, and his palms were sweating.

But the bottom of my heart is faintly cool.

It's really out of the limelight today.

Barely calculated, he also calculated his strength, right?

I hope what the Lord said is right, otherwise he may have to be slapped to death by this monk today.

Cui Jingsheng was stunned, he really didn't expect Shen Du's subordinates to appear here.

"Bastard!"

Sora Chi was furious, raised his hand and grabbed forward.

True Qi exploded, turning into a giant hand, grabbing at Kongwen's head at the same time, there was a hidden killing intention.

"Poof!"

Just the momentum that was exuding, Xu Chong spit out a mouthful of blood and staggered backwards.

Cui Jingsheng's face turned cold, he raised his hand and slapped it at Kong Zhi, and said coldly: "I said, no one in Yanjing City is allowed to be presumptuous!" ”

If Kong Zhi is allowed to do it in Yanjing City today, where will the face of the six doors be placed?

"Boom!"

The two fought each other, and suddenly burst out with a terrifying true qi.

Cui Jingsheng's eyes showed a hint of murderous intent, and he said coldly: "Kong Zhi, don't make a mistake!" ”

Zhan Hongyan's eyes also burst out with a touch of murderous intent.

The corners of Kongzhiqi's forehead were bruised, his face was flushed, and his chest was full of anger.

But he didn't make another move.

This is Yanjing City, no matter how strong he is, he can't beat so many magic elephant powerhouses alone.

"I, Shaolin, will never stop here!"

Kong Zhi coldly dropped a sentence and turned to leave.

As Kong Zhi left, everyone felt that the oppressive and terrible feeling in the field had faded a little, and they gasped for breath.

Cui Jingsheng looked up at the empty head, then looked at Xu Chong and asked, "Where is Shen Du?" ”

Xu Chong took a deep breath and arched his hand: "My family has gone to the court meeting. ”

Cui Jingsheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he fell silent when he heard the words.

A little off......

Today's court meeting, Shen Du can only go to participate, but only with the permission of the prince.

He suddenly thought of Shen Du's departure from Beijing, and looked at his empty head again, feeling faintly uneasy.

Zhan Hongyan said in a deep voice: "What does this kid want to do? ”

"No!" Cui Jingsheng shook his head and said, "It should be said that it is what the prince wants to do." ”

There was one thing he didn't say, and the prince didn't seem to trust their six doors.

I'm afraid there's something going on here.

"Let's go back first."

There is no point in guessing at the moment, and after the court meeting is over, everything will be clear.

……

Palace

Xuanzheng Palace.

With a few whips, hundreds of civil and military officials stepped into the hall one after another.

In the palatial palace, the first thing that catches your eye is a gilt gold dragon chair.

But the dragon chair was now empty.

Below the dragon chair, a smaller chair is placed.

After the arrival of the civil and military officials and the nobles of the imperial court, a deep voice suddenly resounded in the hall.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"

As the voice fell, Xia Jingyi, who was wearing a thick black leather jacket, walked slowly.

His pace wasn't too fast, even very slow, but everyone still felt a little pressure.

He has been in charge of the country for more than 20 years, holding the power of killing, carrying the luck of a country, and his words and deeds are enough to make the world bleed.

"Meet Your Highness!"

"His Highness Chitose!"

Everyone bowed down and saluted, singing in unison and resounding through the Xuanzheng Palace.

Xia Jingyi slowly walked to the chair and sat down, raised his hand and said, "No courtesy!" ”

Xia Jingyi had a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, and said lightly: "You shouldn't be very happy in your hearts, right?" ”

"Lone is still alive, are you surprised?"

The faces of the crowd changed suddenly.

No one expected that Xia Jingyi would say such a thing.

"Wait for a capital offense!"

Many civil and military officials bowed in unison, and their voices were uniform.

"Huh!"

Xia Jingyi smiled softly, shouting capital crimes on their lips, but which one of them was really willing to die.

At this time, Yan Ziqing, the first assistant of the cabinet, stood up and arched his hand: "I don't know why His Highness held a court meeting today?" ”

This person is close to the age of sixteen, with an old face, a gray beard, and a slightly rickety figure.

He is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and his prestige in the court is extremely high.

And Yan Ziqing is also one of the few neutrals, and he has always been supported by no one in the DPRK.

Seeing Yan Ziqing come forward, everyone quietly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Xia Jingyi shook his head slightly and said, "I summoned you here today for one thing. ”

"But before that, let me ask you to meet someone."

Lu Chengen, who was serving behind Xia Jingyi, understood and said, "Xuanjinggi always arrests Shen Du!" ”

"Xuan ~ Gyeonggi General Arrest Shen Du!"

A continuous stream of voices came down the palace.

Hearing this, the faces of everyone in the hall changed slightly.

Shen Du?

Especially some people, a trace of strangeness flashed in their eyes, their faces showed fear, and they subconsciously squeezed into the crowd.

There are some things that can't stand up to investigation, and the court officials really don't know anything about what the state governments do?

If there is no protection for the people in Beijing, the state capitals may not dare to be so unscrupulous.

Not long after, Shen walked outside the hall alone, and Angzang's body strode into the hall and bowed.

"I've seen Your Highness!"

Xia Jingyi bowed slightly, and said calmly: "Lord Shen, tell all the adults what you have seen and heard along the way." ”

"Yes!"

The corners of Shen Du's mouth raised slightly, revealing a sneer, and said coldly: "Fengzhou Thorn History is corrupt and bribery, and he cares about human ......life."

"There is a great drought in Danzhou, and the state government officials embezzle disaster relief money and grain, and oppress the people......"

"Lingzhou officials colluded with people in the rivers and lakes to plot rebellion against ......"

“……”

Every time Shen Du said a word, the faces of everyone present turned pale.

In the past, many people still had a trace of luck in their hearts.

After all, the law does not blame the public, and if this matter is really publicized, it will also lose the face of the imperial court.

In their opinion, the final result of this matter is nothing more than pulling out a group of people, killing chickens and monkeys, and giving an explanation to the people of the world.

This is also the usual method.

Anyway, those people are ignorant and don't understand the twists and turns, they will only applaud.

After a while, they should still be greedy, and their lives will not change much.

Just listening to Shen Du's story of one incident after another, involving one official after another, everyone was keenly aware that it would be difficult to end today's matter.

The atmosphere in the hall became solemn and extremely depressing.

"Everyone, do you hear me?"

"This is my Dayan's official!"

The gentle smile that was originally on the corner of Xia Jingyi's mouth instantly converged and turned into a strong killing aura.

"Lone is sick!"

Xia Jingyi's voice rose sharply, and he said loudly: "But I'm not dead yet!" ”

Many officials in the hall were shocked.

Xia Jingyi's complexion today is unusually good, and he can't even see half of his weakness.

Only Lu Chengen knew that His Royal Highness was under the upper hall and swallowed a pill.

An elixir that trades lifespan for peak state.

Xia Jingyi grabbed the incriminating evidence collected by Shen Du, threw it to the ground angrily, and shouted: "Let's take a look!" ”

"This is a clear record of all their incriminating evidence!"

"Don't say anything one-sided to Lone, what? Do you have to let the people of Danzhou take all the people of Danzhou one by one to this hall? ”

"Let me show you how they gnaw the bark of the tree, how they eat it?"

The voice of anger was heard throughout the Xuanzheng Palace.

Xia Jingyi smiled angrily, and said with a smile: "When did my Dayan become like this?" ”

"Can anyone give Lone an answer?"

The hearts of the civil and military officials shook.

"Ministers deserve death!"

The crowd bowed down again and shouted in unison.

"Haha!"

"Yes!"

"You all deserve to die!"

Xia Jingyi suddenly laughed, hunting in an ink-colored robe, his eyes seemed to exude murderous intent, and he shouted angrily:

"In the history of the four states, Lone had to recall three, and the civil and military generals of the five grades in the four states had a total of thirty-four, and Lone had to recall twenty-six!"

"Which of them is not an important minister of the imperial court, and which one is not a scholar of the imperial examination."

"Among them, there are also royal relatives!"

The deep voice overshadowed one after another, containing great majesty.

Xia Jingyi's eyes drooped slightly, and his gaze slowly swept over the people in the court, and his voice was like a bell.

"The father handed over the country to Lone, but Lone made it like this, and Lone was heartbroken!"

"Lonely...... Guilty of the country, ashamed of the ancestors, ashamed of the father, ashamed of the emperor, ashamed of the ...... Commoners! ”

Xia Jingyi got up violently, looked down on everyone condescendingly, and said angrily: "Lone even wants to dismiss himself!" ”

Looking at the court officials who bowed their heads and were silent, Xia Jingyi said, "And you!" ”

"Although they are all high-sounding, standing in this Xuanzheng Palace, but you ...... Is it really that clean? ”

"I advise you to turn out your heart, lungs and intestines to dry, wash them, and pick them up!"

"When Gu Gang was in charge of the country, he thought that the biggest enemy of the imperial court was the Northern Barbarian, and later he thought that Dayan's troubles were Qianguo and Western Chu, but now it is becoming more and more clear that Dayan's troubles are not outside, but in the imperial court!"

"In you!"

"It's in this Xuanzheng Palace!"

"The ministers are guilty, and the ministers are dead!"

Above the main hall, from the cabinet elders to the ordinary civil and military, they all spoke in unison.

Some people were full of fear, and some people were full of tears.

Xia Jingyi looked at everyone, wanted to laugh but couldn't, shook his head and said, "It's not you who damn it!" ”

"It's Lonely!"

He knew that none of these people who shouted that they deserved to die wanted to die, and what they thought in their hearts was nothing more than that their princes could lie down in the dark underground one day earlier.

They are good to be the ministers of the dragon and continue to maintain a century-old gate valve family.

firmly control one official position after another in his own hands.

Even if you die, you must let your sons and grandchildren inherit it.

Even if those descendants are a bunch of useless waste, they must firmly occupy that position.

From top to bottom, even if it is a dog in the yamen, it must be raised by them.

In this way, they are most satisfied.

Xia Jingyi pointed at everyone and laughed: "It's rotten here today, and Dayan should be completely rotten tomorrow." ”

The smile on his face gradually converged, turned into indifference, and said word by word: "When the time comes, it is not only Gu who will die, but also you, as well as tens of millions of people in my Dayan!" ”

"Beiban, but you're still staring!"

"Keep an eye on the land they once owned!"

"Lonely can die, lonely doesn't care, but my Dayan can't die!"

"The inheritance left by the ancestors cannot be lost!"

Xia Jingyi's face flushed, and his body stumbled slightly, but now all the officials lowered their heads, and no one noticed this scene.

He grabbed the armrest of the dragon chair before he could stabilize his body.

Xia Jingyi said coldly: "Who will tell Gu, what should I do now?" ”

"How to give an explanation to the people of the world?!"

The crowd was silent, bowing their heads and saying nothing.

Shen Du stood in the hall, glanced left and right, and smiled slightly, very good, don't speak, right?

Then he stepped out and arched his hand: "Your Highness, the minister has a performance!" ”

"Accurate!"

"The minister implores His Highness to restart Jingcha and thoroughly investigate all officials of Dayan!"

"Give the people of the world a bright future!"

A thunderous voice resounded in the Xuanzheng Palace!

Everyone changed color in unison, and their eyes were eager to swallow Shen Du alive for a moment.

Are you singing duets here?
