After asserting, Luo Chongshan turned to Yang Guozhong again and bowed his hand: "Please also ask the prime minister to forgive the crime of trespassing, the subordinate official is a servant of the ministry, and he must not tolerate the people who sell their reputation and pretend to be officials of the imperial court. ”

Yang Guozhong was stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, Luo Chongshan had already preemptively ordered the guards who were waiting outside the main hall: "Come on, take down the group of madmen from the Shadow Hall and take them to prison!"

"Wait. ”

The leisurely drink stopped, and the speaker was still a kind and angry shadow. Luo Chongshan turned his head, his cold eyes full of contempt: "How? If you ask for forgiveness and confession, you can save it." ”

"No, of course Jikage knew that it was his duty to make such a decision. Jikage's politeness is still the same, but the momentum around him is gradually rising at the same time, "But before that, I hope that all of you will understand the duties of the Shadow Hall. ”

"Hmph, then the official wants to see if you have anything else to say. Luo Chongshan seemed to be stunned, raised his hand to stop the guard who was about to step forward, and stood three feet in front of the earth shadow, waiting for his "quibble" exit.

Diying was not in a hurry, he bowed to Jiutian slowly, and nodded to Yang Guozhong on the other side, and then spoke loudly: "Fang Cai Chongshan Shilang said that we are just talking about it, pretending to be a disciple of the imperial court, and it is a great crime. With such a heart for the majesty of the imperial court, the earth shadow sincerely admires, but-"

With a "yet", the temperament of the earth shadow, which was still polite just now, changed suddenly, and the earlier Yaru was completely wiped out, replaced by blatant anger, which was suffocating.

"It's an old thing for me to wait for my military exploits, but my body is still iron and bloody, and it still flows in my body. Luo Chongshan, you are a servant of the district officials, and you dare to deny that we have served the country all our lives without collecting evidence, and even more dare to take us into custody. Although the remnants of the Earth Shadow are not enough to worry about, your actions are a desecration of the prestige of the two former emperors, Taizong and Gaozong, as an old minister, it is difficult for the Absolute Shadow Hall to tolerate this happening!"

Di Ying's angry words fell, his eyes widened, as if the murderous aura of substance had been directed at Luo Chongshan, making him involuntarily take a few steps back: "You, you, you dare to be disrespectful to the officials of the imperial court?

"According to the rules of the army back then, the enemy of the day, the daily report of the day, the crime at the time, the sentence at the time!" The coldness of the earth shadow's words is even better than the nine heavens of the square, "Luo Chongshan's words offended the majesty of the first emperor, and he should be beheaded according to the law! But as a key member of the court, you did it unintentionally, and the sentence was changed: Whipping in public, twenty!"

"Bastard!"

All the officials present were shocked when they thought that Diying would behave like this, but Yang Guozhong patted the tea table next to him and stood up angrily: "Your Excellency can't help but think too highly of yourself, don't say that your identity is suspicious now, you are really a second-rank general, what right do you have to whip the court officials in public?"

The Earth Shadow had already spoken, but he did not continue to be polite, and glanced at Yang Guozhong with slanted eyes: "Not only does the Earth Shadow have this power, but all the children in the Peerless Shadow Hall are qualified to teach this unscrupulous person a lesson-Present it!"

I saw a young man, at the same time as the Earth Shadow command was issued, he walked out of the side hall with an object covered by a yellow cloth in both hands, respectfully walked to the Earth Shadow, knelt down on one knee, raised the object in his hand above his head, and presented it to everyone.

Without saying a word, the shadow of the earth had lifted the yellow cloth and revealed what it was covering in front of everyone's eyes, and it was actually a five-foot hard whip made of gold, and on the body of the whip, carved a hideous dragon shadow, entrenched in the sky, adding to the majesty.

He took the golden whip with both hands, and Di Ying's tone had changed from cold to stern: "Taizong's edict, in addition to sealing our official positions, he also gave each of us a golden whip of the dragon and ordered us to supervise the dynasty. From the emperor to the military generals, if there are inappropriate measures and ignorant remarks, they can be whipped. For the first time in many years, today we have met someone who should be punished. Yang Guozhong, do you still have any questions? Just come one by one, and the general will definitely answer it for you!"

Speaking of this, the earth shadow has called himself a "general", and the anger accumulated during the battle is no longer hidden, and it is so close that the hundred officials present tremble, and only a few generals can protect their demeanor a little, but they are also in a cold sweat, and they dare not suddenly open their mouths to persuade.

Soon after the strong rise of the Absolute Shadow Hall, there were historians in the court who found out its general origin, and they also knew that it had indeed been awarded the edict of Taizong and the seal of Gaozong. However, nearly 90 years have passed since this incident, and all the officials present, including Yang Guozhong, think that the people of the Absolute Shadow Hall today are just juniors who inherit the name of their predecessors and come to the top, so they dare to come to the door to embarrass them. Unexpectedly, this seemingly kind Diying bluntly said that he was a member of Lu Guogong's guard battalion back then, which made Yang Guozhong feel embarrassed, and he didn't know whether he should advance or retreat. Luo Chongshan jumped out to question the identity of the Earth Shadow, although he successfully relieved Yang Guozhong, but it also led to the two generations of Heavenly Sons of Heaven to give the Golden Whip of the Absolute Shadow Hall, creating a situation where there is no way to retreat. Now the earth shadow is holding a golden whip, his voice is fierce, and he vows to take down Luo Chongshan and punish him severely, although the hundred officials in front of him are not convinced in their hearts, but no one dares to really step forward to stop it, and even Yang Guozhong only makes a look of anger and attack, without any substantive measures.

At this moment, Fang Cai's famous general who was unwilling to make progress and was willing to be reckless had quickly walked between the two sides of the conflict, clasped his fists and saluted to Earth Shadow: "General Earth Shadow, can you listen to the last general's words?"

Earth Shadow glanced coldly: "If you have something to say, say it quickly." ”

The military general saluted the earth shadow again, and then said: "The last general's name is Duan Xiushi, and he is now General Gao Xianzhi, and he has been in the army for many years. The heroic deeds of Lu Guogong have long been familiar to me, and I also know that the generals are all loyal to the monarch and protect the country. Although Fang Cai Chongshan Shilang was offended by you, it was also because he was concerned about the stability of the imperial city, and he spoke out in a hurry, and I don't know if General Earth Shadow can read it to him, it is also an unintentional mistake......"

"It was precisely because of his unintentional mistake that the general would have punished him with twenty lashes, otherwise he would have broken his feet long ago, lest his eyes be above the top and his eyes without the emperor's grace!"

Duan Xiushi's face suddenly turned bitter.

Jikage glanced at the other officials again: "Are you still arguing in your hearts and disagreeing with Ben General's decision? Just open your mouth, Ben will never mind punishing them one by one!"

Through the eyes of the earth shadow, all the officials bowed their heads and silenced, how could they dare to persuade each other?

Seeing that this flogging was carried out—

"Hah-yawn. ”

On the main seat, Jiutian, who had not intervened, finally spoke: "Earth Shadow, you have been grinding for so long, but you just want to give that fat man a whip?"

A lazy question broke the deadlock on the spot, and also made the earth shadow regain his politeness: "If the deputy hall master feels that it is an eyesore, his subordinates will immediately blast this person out of the main hall and find another suitable place for punishment." ”

"No need. Jiutian yawned again, as if he was tired of getting along with these court officials, "Feng Hanzhi told me before leaving, if they want to come to inquire about the Heng clan, just tell them. Make a copy of the information we have obtained and send them away. ”

After a pause, Jiutian looked at Luo Chongshan, who was at a loss: "As for this plate, if you don't take his life, don't do this kind of troublesome thing, send him out with one palm, and break half of the bones in his body by the way, wouldn't it be more direct?"

"The subordinates receive the order. ”

“......”

When the second-rank general in front of him turned around again, Luo Chongshan's face suddenly turned pale.
