Chapter 242: The fate is over
Although Taichang has been labeled as a confusing king in the hearts of some officials, in fact, he is mainly responsible for observing the heavens, as well as calculating the solar terms and formulating the calendar.
These jobs do have to be done by people with good brains, and many times it seems a little mysterious, but Yan Chang rarely does some superfluous things on weekdays, and he belongs to the most Buddhist category among the courtiers, and he will not flatter and will not be his turn to admonish.
It's just that this kind of thing is the water and land festival, as the supervisor in charge of the heavenly prison of the Taishi Division, it will inevitably be pushed to the front of the stage by the emperor.
Si Tianjian this place, the past dynasties of the prison is indeed almost a bit special, for a long time to observe the heavens and phenomena, day after day, year after year, or can comprehend some subtle subtleties, words are often like stargazing can feel the old beggar in the crowd of mages, not without such reasons.
But Yan Chang never thought that he would bring trouble to himself because of the old beggar, and at this time, he was even more prostrate on the ground and did not dare to move.
The Emperor sneered, and stretched out his hand to point downward.
"Take down the Taishi Si Heavenly Supervisor and this old beggar for me!"
"Yes!"
As soon as the emperor gave an order, the surrounding guards instantly burst out, and the strong martial arts brought outstanding explosive power.
In an instant, figures flashed, and the old beggar had a knife on his neck in each of the three directions, left and right, and his neck was surrounded by the blade.
Two other knives were placed on Yan Chang's neck, and the guards took Yugui away, detained him with both hands on his back, and pulled his whole body up in the hands of the guards like a child who let him handle it.
Yan Chang's face was pale, his heart was pounding so fast that he was about to burst out of his chest, and his heart was full of thoughts of 'it's over, it's over, it......'s over'.
"Yanchang, I'm going to ask you, who asked you to recommend this old beggar? King Wu or King Jin?"
The two princes looked frightened, and almost at the same time they came out and knelt down, and almost at the same time shouted injustice.
"How dare Erchen be so rebellious!" "Erchen doesn't know!"
This is really a disaster for the two princes, and they hate it to death at the moment.
"Hey......"
Yan Chang closed his eyes and sighed in a low voice, barely calming down before opening his eyes.
"Your Majesty, it was recommended by the minister himself, and it has nothing to do with the two highnesses, Mr. Lu is a real master, but Wei Chen didn't know that he dared to speak out in the court, and the minister knew ...... guilt."
Emperor Yuande snorted coldly, looked at the old beggar, and saw that his face was always as usual, especially the eyes staring at him, his eyes were very flat, and he also had some inexplicable feelings in his heart.
"What about you, someone instructed ......?"
Emperor Yuande hesitated after a pause and continued.
"Or did you really just want to say what you just said?"
Among the mages on both sides of the main hall, some were calm and uneasy in their faces, and some were gloating.
The jade-faced monk was also among the mages, and at this time, looking at the old beggar and often the old emperor, he muttered a low sigh.
"Good Ming King Buddha ......"
The old beggar just looked at Emperor Yuande, and did not answer his words immediately, but glanced at Yan Chang with a dead face.
"Hey, Lord Yan, I'm a little sorry for you......"
At this point, the old beggar looked up at the emperor, and a smile appeared on his face again, except that there was no longer the solemnity and respect of the first question, but the cynicism of the usual begging.
"Your Majesty, this matter is all because of the old beggar's own wild words, no wonder my lord, and it has nothing to do with several princes, if this is the case, I will execute the old beggar, and it should also dissipate Your Majesty's anger. ”
Execute?
Yan Chang is now extremely sensitive to this word, and then reacts that it is not himself who he is, but the old beggar who is begging for death by himself.
Although the courtiers on one side had a lot of speculation in their hearts, such as maybe it was to protect the instructions behind them, they didn't dare to talk about it at this moment, so the front of the palace was also very quiet.
The old emperor's face was cloudy, and he stared at the old beggar.
It took a long time to hold back a sentence.
"If you really have magical powers, you really have mysterious immortal skills, show them and let Lone see it, as long as it is true, Lone will not only exempt you from responsibility, but also canonize and reward you!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a subtle discussion among the courtiers, and even Yan Chang looked at the old beggar with hope, he had seen Ji Yuan swing his sword and dance Yuehua, and the old beggar saw that he had caught a cat, but at that time, listening to the conversation of several masters, it seemed that the cat was also amazing.
But the old beggar didn't smile, shook his head and said.
"No, just execute the old beggar. ”
"You ......"
The old emperor grabbed the handle of the dragon chair with both hands, leaned forward and made a loud sound.
"You really don't dare to kill you!"
Even though the old beggar was held on the shoulder by three sharp long knives, he seemed to see nothing, and his hands were grabbed by the guards, so he directly tilted his head and rubbed the blade to itch his shoulder.
Even the guards on the side couldn't help but secretly marvel at the old beggar's boldness, they grabbed his hand, and when they probed into their true qi, they knew that the other party's body was "empty", and they were not martial arts masters.
After the old beggar finished tickling, he still looked at the old emperor with that expression, and there was even a look of pity in his eyes.
"You don't need to bother killing an old beggar, Your Majesty will do it. ”
The back of the emperor's old hand was bounced with strength and excitement, and his chest rose and fell with anger, and the appearance of this old beggar looking at him made him angry.
"Hehehe...... The guards in front of the palace obeyed the order, and immediately pushed the old beggar out of Yongning Street, beheaded, beheaded, showed, and crowded!"
"The superintendent of the heavens is corrected, and the words are often ......"
Yan Chang on the side couldn't help but tremble, and fine sweat continued to ooze out of his cheeks.
"Get rid of your position and go to prison!"
"Yes!" "Yes!" ......
Yan Chang's whole body seemed to have lost all his strength and fell softly, and the two guards dragged him out of the hall, and looked at the old beggar with the little strength he had left, and he walked steadily, but was escorted out of the main hall by several guards.
When the two "criminals" were escorted out, the palace became silent, and the two princes still knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up or raise their heads, and they could even feel the eyes of their father looking at them.
"Hmph, you two, get up!"
"Thank you, Father!"
The two of them thanked each other in unison, and when they got up, they subconsciously glanced at each other, and they both saw a look of palpitation in their brother's eyes.
After experiencing such a place, many of the remaining fifteen mages in the hall were a little trembling, and the lessons of the past were in front of them, and the other officials of the Heavenly Supervisor and the Ministry of Rites who were in charge of the Dharma together were also worried.
The so-called emperor's order must not be neglected, since it was the emperor himself who ordered the execution in front of the palace, the guards naturally raised the spirit and immediately escorted the old beggar to the street outside the palace.
There was no need to wait even for noon, the guards in front of the palace personally guarded the guard, and a group of forbidden soldiers accompanied them, and escorted an old beggar directly to Yongning Street like a minister of the court who was guarding the crime.
The forbidden army with guns and halberds drove pedestrians in front of them.
"Go away, get out of the way!" "Avoid the idlers!"
When many people saw this posture, they knew that someone was going to be killed, and immediately many people followed with them on the periphery, and more good people rushed to hear the news.
"Someone over there looks like they're going to kill their heads!" "Really?"
"Just check it out!"
"Let's go......" "Wait for me." ”
Watching the head killing is also a special kind of lively scene.
"Hey, it looks like an old beggar in the prison car?" "Isn't that the minister coming out of prison?"
"No, what a beggar, look at that dress, it's not even a prison uniform!"
"That's true......" "This beggar doesn't seem to be afraid at all?"
"Scareless, huh?"
......
This scene also attracted some special people, including Ji Yuan and several Yuhuaishan real people.
Ji Yuan also followed the crowd of ordinary people who moved with the prisoner car, and shouted in the direction of the prisoner car with a puzzled voice.
"Mr. Lu, what crime have you committed?"
The old beggar only had one head exposed outside the prisoner car, and he was still wearing a shackled anklet, and he reluctantly turned around and shouted at Ji Yuan.
"Mr. Ji, I have offended the emperor in the court, and I want to kill my head!"
Ji Yuan was a little crying and laughing, but at the same time, he was also a little curious, if this old beggar didn't get out, would he really have to be killed once?
But before he had time to think about it, the two forbidden soldiers immediately came to Ji Yuan's side and looked at him seriously.
"Who are you, and what do you have to do with the prisoners?"
"Uh...... A few military masters Mingjian have just drunk tea with this old beggar, and nothing else has anything to do with it!"
Ji Yuan arched his hand, his face was calm, and he was calm with a smile.
Several forbidden soldiers looked at each other, and they didn't feel too embarrassed, just asked him not to get in the way.
But the forbidden army let Ji Yuan go, but the old beggar didn't let him go.
"Mr. Ji~~~ I heard that you can eat decapitated rice before killing your head, why don't you get tired and help Hanako make a bowl of rice to eat?"
Seeing him like this, Ji Yuan also smiled, nodded and turned to leave.
When Ji Yuan came back, the old beggar happened to be pressed in the center of Yongning Street, and a large group of ordinary people surrounded him from afar.
"Let it go, let it go, let it go, it's time to send the guillotine meal next!"
Ji Yuan apologized and squeezed forward, and as soon as others heard that the severed head meal was sent, they immediately got out of the way, and after a while, Ji Yuan squeezed through the human wall.
Several Yuhuai Mountain monks stood together, looking at Ji Yuan and the old beggar with strange expressions.
"Uncle Shi, what kind of reputation is this?"
The old man who was asked pondered carefully, and his eyes were uncertain.
"Just look at it. ”
Ji Yuan carried a bowl full of minced pork rice with sauce, and after greeting the forbidden soldiers and guards around him, he walked to the old beggar, who had been unshackled and could eat by himself.
"Mr. Lu, please use it. ”
The old beggar took the bowl with a smile, said "thank you" and ate it directly.
A bowl full of rice was quickly eaten by him, and it was so fragrant.
"Hiccup~~~"
After a full burp, the old beggar returned the dishes and chopsticks to Ji Yuan.
"Hey, hey... Mr. Ji, let's stay outside, don't let the blood of the old beggar stain your clothes for a while, oh, you are innocent, not afraid of this bit of dust. ”
Ji Yuan took the dishes and chopsticks, shook his head, and slowly walked back to the crowd of spectators outside.
It seems that this old beggar really plans to "be beheaded", which reminds Ji Yuan of the ghost mother he caught before, and he can also be revived.
"Since you're done eating, let's go on the road, don't blame me for being ruthless, blame you for committing a capital crime!"
After the guard in front of the palace finished speaking, he himself acted as a sword and axeman, drew his saber and raised it high, while the old beggar just knelt on the ground and bowed his head.
All the onlookers almost subconsciously shrank up, and there was a burst of inhalation and trembling voices in the crowd.
The next moment, the Guardian's quick knife fell.
"Poof......
The head rolled off, the neck spurted blood, and many spectators shook their bodies.
"Ah......h......h
"Hiss......"
Ji Yuan opened his eyes and looked at the old beggar's appearance, and suddenly realized.
After about four or five breaths, something creeped out to all the onlookers and executioners.
The headless corpse that had fallen to the ground actually stood up again on its own, staggering and reaching forward to touch it.
"Ah......h
"Fake the corpse, run~~!"
"Ahh.....h Don't push me!"
......
A group of ordinary people fled in a hurry, and the surrounding forbidden army and the guards in front of the palace were also shocked, and they were not on the top of the flight, and their bodies were a little stiff......
"Hey, here, here!"
The head that had rolled off to the side also spoke, as if it was guiding its body to find itself.
After another moment, the headless body picked up his head and pressed it back to his neck.
"Cluck-la-la-la... Gur-la-la-......"
The old beggar twisted his neck, making a crunching sound, and then looked at the palace guard with a smile on his face.
"Hey, this imperial qi is really easy to implicate, my master-apprentice relationship with the old emperor is over!"
