Chapter 240

Shen Du was unaware of the turmoil in the capital, and at the moment he was preparing to go to court.

Outside the palace, carriages came slowly. Many generals rode horses, while many civil servants sat in carriages, and some of them sat in sedan chairs.

The official position is different, and the treatment is naturally different.

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

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

Everyone has more or less understood what happened in the capital during this period.

The East Palace has been silent for a long time, and now the court meeting is suddenly held, which inevitably arouses suspicion.

Everyone whispered and discussed the purpose of this court meeting.

"You said that the prince suddenly convened a council this time, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Isn't it because of the case of the Minister of the Household Department?"

"Isn't that matter settled?"

"I'm afraid it will be another bloodbath today."

At this time, there are several carriages slowly approaching in the distance, they are the carriages of the cabinet elders.

With the arrival of all the elders, it was time to open the palace gates, and the palace gates of the imperial palace also slowly opened.

"Snapped!"

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 throughout Beijing.

Shaolin monk Kong Wen died, and his head was hung above the city gate.

As soon as this news came out, there was a storm immediately, and many people from the rivers and lakes who did not believe in evil ran to the gate of the city to watch it for themselves.

Inner City, Nine Princes' Courtyard.

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

Including Kongzhi, a Shaolin monk of Kongzi who left Qianguo and separated from Kongwen later.

However, Kongzhi seldom paid attention to the affairs in Beijing, and when he came to Beijing, he just retreated and meditated in his room, even Shaolin monks rarely saw him.

"Master!"

Yuantong's anxious voice came from outside the room, with a hint of eagerness in his words.

In the room, Kongzhi slowly opened his eyes, chanted a Buddha's name, and stopped the wooden fish he was knocking on.

"What's the matter?"

A flat voice came from the room, Kong Zhi looked cold, and his expression did not change at all.

Yuantong hesitated for a moment, his face was ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "The news came out from the capital just now, Kongwen Master... has passed away."

"boom!"

Suddenly, a strong momentum erupted in the room!

The door of the house burst open!

The air waves roared!

Kong Zhi opened his eyes angrily, his long eyebrows fluttered, his huge pupils fixed on Yuantong, and he said sharply, "What's going on?"

This news made him feel like a lightning strike!

At the beginning when the two of them parted ways, they went to subdue the devil under the decree of the abbot, how could they pass away now?

Yuantong's chest rose and fell, feeling a strong pressure, his knees sank slightly, his hands clasped together, and he cupped his hands and said, "There are rumors in Beijing that Master Kongwen's head is hung above the gate of the city, and I have sent disciples to investigate this place It's true"

"The devil!"

"Dare you!?"

Kong Zhi suddenly shouted loudly.

A fierce aura dissipated in an instant, and the originally gentle face was now full of anger.

Among the four god monks in Shaolin, Kong Zhi was born in the Discipline Academy. Since he stepped into the Dharma, he resigned from the head of the Discipline Academy.

The Discipline Academy has always been a place to punish monks who violated the precepts. At the same time, the demonic disciples who were captured by Shaolin monks into the temple will also be sent to the Discipline Academy.

Over time, these monks will be somewhat contaminated with murderous intent.

Therefore, the monks of the Discipline Academy are notoriously hot-tempered among Shaolin courtyards.

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

Kongzhi has killed countless people in his life. When he was young, he walked in the rivers and lakes. He did not know how many bandits and murderers, and the evil spirits died in his hands.

These people add up to thousands if not ten thousand, and their murderous aura is heavier than many magicians.

"The devil!"

"An dare to bully me Shaolin like this!"

It's nothing more than killing people. Now hanging the head above the city gate is clearly a humiliation.

If this matter spreads in the Jianghu, how will Shaolin gain a foothold in the Jianghu in the future.

"go!"

Kong Zhi got up and left the other courtyard angrily.

……

A group of monks came to the gate of Yanjing City aggressively.

When the crowd gathered under the city gate saw Kong Zhi and the others, they were startled and scattered in all directions.

Soon, a road was automatically divided in the field.

Kong Zhi paused, looked up at the head hanging above the city wall, his face became extremely cold.

"Too deceiving!"

A word, like thunder!
The vigorous momentum was released in an instant!

Senhan's air mechanism stirred up the wind and cloud, changed the color of the wind and cloud, and the whole world was darkened.

The aura like a mountain spread out, like a giant mountain pressing down.

The people around were horrified and scattered, looking at this scene in horror.

"Shaolin Divine Monk Kongzhi!"

Someone seemed to recognize Kong Zhi's identity, and suddenly let out an exclamation.

The matter of Kongzhi's entry into the capital is very hidden, few people know about it, seeing Kongzhi appearing here now makes everyone extremely surprised.

"presumptuous!"

Not long after Kongzhi released his breath, two bursts of breath suddenly burst out from Jingzhong, accompanied by a sharp shout.

With a flick of a finger, two figures approached in an instant!

These two people were Cui Jingsheng and Zhan Hongling, and their aura instantly pressed against Kong Zhi.

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

The air waves howled!

Cui Jingsheng said sharply: "Yanjing is an important place, how can you do it recklessly!"

"Kong Zhi, you are provoking me, Dayan!"

It was a disgrace for the giant spirits to help Sun Hechuan in the capital, but now that Kong Zhi has made another move, what will be their face?

Is it true that there is no one in Dayan? !
Kong Zhi said coldly: "My junior brother's head is hung here, what's the reason?"

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

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

Even he didn't expect that Shen Du would come out like this.

How did the key Kongwen die?

If he was really killed by Shen Du, how far has Shen Du reached now?

Cui Jingsheng asked unceremoniously: "Kong Wen attacked and killed my chief arrester of the six sects, so what should I do?"

"According to the law, attacking and killing an official ordered by the court is a death penalty!"

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

Kongzhi's face was gloomy, and his cassock flapped in the strong wind.

Yuantong hastily reminded in a low voice: "Master, this place is the Great Yanjing City..."

If it is in the Qian Kingdom, if someone dares to do this, they will definitely bear the wrath of their Shaolin.

But this place is Dayan, no matter how powerful Shaolin is, it is beyond reach.

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

Cui Jingsheng was about to speak when suddenly a figure stepped out from the city wall.

"no!"

Xu Chong stood on the city wall, condescending, and said loudly: "My lord has said that such traitors who don't respect the law of the king should hang their corpses here and expose their corpses for three days!"

Xu Chong seemed calm, but his calves were spinning, and his palms were sweating.

But the bottom of my heart is faintly refreshed.

Today is really completely out of the limelight.

After trying to do the math, he also did the math, right?
I hope my lord is right, otherwise he might have to be slapped to death by this divine monk today.

Cui Jingsheng was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Shen Du's subordinates to appear here.

"Bastard!"

Kong Zhi was furious, raised his hand and grabbed it forward.

True Qi exploded and turned into a giant hand, while grabbing Kong Wen's head, there was also a hint of murderous intent lurking.

"puff!"

Just the aura exuded made Xu Chong spit out a mouthful of blood, and staggered back a step.

Cui Jingsheng's expression turned cold, he raised his hand and slapped Kong Zhi, and said coldly, "I told you, no one in Yanjing City should be presumptuous!"

If Kong Zhi is allowed to do something in Yanjing City today, where will the face of the Six Doors be placed?
"boom!"

The two fought against each other, and a terrifying infuriating energy suddenly burst out.

There was a hint of killing intent in Cui Jingsheng's eyes, and he said coldly, "Kongzhi, don't make mistakes!"

There was also a killing intent in Zhan Hongling's eyes.

The veins on Kong Zhiqi's forehead twitched violently, his face flushed red, and his chest was surging with anger.

But he didn't make any more moves.

This is Yanjing City, no matter how strong he is, he can't defeat so many Dharma experts.

"I, Shaolin, will never let this matter go!"

Kong Zhi coldly dropped a word, turned and left.

With Kong Zhi's departure, everyone felt that the suppressed and terrifying feeling in the arena faded a bit, and they gasped for breath.

Cui Jingsheng looked up at Kong Wen's head, then looked at Xu Chong, and asked, "Where is Shen Du?"

Xu Chong took a deep breath, cupped his hands and said, "My lord has gone to the court meeting."

Cui Jingsheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and fell silent after hearing this.

not quite right...

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

He suddenly thought of Shen Du's departure from the capital back then, and looked at Kong Wen's head again, feeling a little uneasy.

Zhan Hongling said in a deep voice, "What exactly does this kid want to do?"

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

He didn't say a word, the prince didn't seem to trust them six doors.

There's probably something wrong with it.

"Go back first."

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

……

palace,

Xuanzheng Hall.

Following several whips, civil and military officials stepped into the hall one after another.

Inside the magnificent palace, the first thing that catches the eye is a golden dragon chair.

However, there is no one on the dragon chair.

Below the seat of the dragon chair, there is a smaller chair.

After the civil and military officials and court honorables arrived, a deep voice suddenly resounded through the hall.

"His Royal Highness is here!"

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

His pace was not too fast, even extremely slow, but everyone still felt a little pressure.

He has supervised the country for more than [-] years, holding the power of killing and carrying the fate of a country, and his words and deeds are enough to make the world bleed.

"Meet Your Highness!"

"Your Highness is a thousand years old!"

Everyone bowed and saluted one after another, singing promises in unison resounded through the Xuanzheng Hall.

Xia Jingyi walked slowly to the chair and sat down, raised her hand and said, "Excuse me!"

With a gentle smile on the corner of Xia Jingyi's mouth, he said lightly, "You all don't seem to be very happy, do you?"

"Gu is still alive, are you surprised?"

Everyone's face changed.

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

"The minister waits for capital punishment!"

Many civil and military officials bowed together and spoke in unison.

"Ah!"

Xia Jingyi smiled softly, all of them shouted for capital punishment, but no one was really willing to die.

At this time, Yan Ziqing, the chief assistant of the cabinet, stood up, cupped his hands and said, "I don't know why Your Highness is holding a court meeting today?"

This person was nearly sixty years old, with an old face, a white beard, and a slightly stooped figure.

He is considered a veteran of the three dynasties, and has a high prestige in the court.

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

Seeing Yan Ziqing's appearance, everyone was quietly relieved.

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

"But before that, let's invite you to meet someone."

Lu Chengen, who was serving behind Xia Jingyi, understood, and said: "Xuan Jingji will arrest Shen Du!"

"Xuan~ Chief Gyeonggi arrests Shen Du!"

Continuous voices spread along the palace.

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

Shen Du?

Especially for some people, there was a strange flash in their eyes, with fear on their faces, and they subconsciously squeezed into the crowd.

There are some things that cannot withstand investigation. Are the court officials really ignorant of what the state capitals have done?

Without the protection of the people in Beijing, the state capitals of various places would not necessarily dare to be so unscrupulous.

Not long after, Shen walked out of the hall alone, and Ang Zang's body strode into the hall with meteoric strides, and bowed.

"I have seen Your Highness!"

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

"As ordered!"

The corners of Shen Du's mouth slightly raised, revealing a sneer, and said coldly: "The governor of Fengzhou is corrupt and accepts bribes, and carelessly ignores human life..."

"There was a severe drought in Danzhou, and state officials embezzled disaster relief money and food, and oppressed the people..."

"Officials in Lingzhou colluded with people from all over the world to plot rebellion..."

"..."

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

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

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

In their view, 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 ignorant, and they don't understand the twists and turns. They just clap their hands and applaud.

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

Just listening to Shen Du talking about one incident after another, involving officials one after another, everyone was keenly aware that today's matter might not end well.

The atmosphere in the hall became chilling and extremely depressing.

"Everyone, did you hear that?"

"This is my Dayan official!"

Xia Jingyi's gentle smile that was originally on the corner of his mouth subsided in an instant, turning into a strong murderous aura.

"Gu is sick!"

Xia Jingyi's voice was sharply raised, and he said loudly, "But he's not dead yet!"

Many officials in the hall were shocked.

Xia Jingyi's complexion today is rare, and he doesn't even show any signs of weakness.

Only Lu Chengen knew that His Highness had swallowed a pill under the upper hall.

A elixir that trades lifespan in exchange for peak state.

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

"This clearly records all their criminal evidence!"

"Don't say one-sided words to Gu, why? Do you have to let Gu Jiang bring all the people in Danzhou to this hall one by one?"

"Let you take a look, how do they gnaw on the bark and how do they eat the seeds?"

The sound of anger echoed throughout the Xuanzheng Hall.

Xia Jingyi smiled angrily, and said with a half smile but not a smile: "When did I, Dayan, become like this?"

"Who can give Gu an answer?"

The hearts of all civil and military officials were shaken.

"Your servant deserves death!"

Everyone bowed and shouted again.

"Ha ha!"

"Yes!"

"Damn you all!"

Xia Jingyi suddenly laughed out loud, dressed in black robes, with murderous intent in his eyes, and shouted angrily:

"Inspectors of the four prefectures, I have no choice but to dismiss three of them. There are a total of 34 civil servants and generals above the fifth rank in the four prefectures, and I have no choice but to dismiss 26!"

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

"There are also royal relatives!"

The thick voice overwhelmed each other, containing great majesty.

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

"Father handed over the country to Gu, but Gu has become like this, Gu is heartbroken!"

"Gu... guilty of the country, ashamed of the ancestors, ashamed of the father, ashamed of... the common people!"

Xia Jingyi stood up abruptly, looked down at the crowd from a high position, and said angrily: "I even wish I could get rid of myself!"

Looking at the court officials who bowed their heads and said nothing, Xia Jingyi said: "There are you!"

"Although all of you are grand-sounding, standing in this Xuanzheng Hall, but you...are you really that clean?"

"I would like to advise you all to turn out your heart, lungs and intestines to dry in the sun, wash them, and tidy them up!"

"When Gu Gang supervised the country, he thought that the biggest enemy of the imperial court was the northern barbarians. Later, he thought that Dayan's heart trouble was Qianguo and Western Chu. But now Gu has become more and more clear about Dayan's heart trouble. Not outside, but in the court!"

"It's up to you!"

"It's in the Xuanzheng Palace!"

"The minister is guilty, and the minister is dead!"

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

Some people's faces were full of panic, and others' faces were stained with tears.

Xia Jingyi looked at the crowd, wanted to laugh but couldn't, shook his head and said, "Damn it's not you!"

"It's lonely!"

He knew that none of these people who shouted that they deserved to die wanted to die. What they thought in their hearts was that they, the prince, could lie down in the dark underground sooner.

They like to be the servants of the dragon and continue to maintain a family of powerful families for a hundred years.

Hold each official position firmly in your own hands.

Even if he dies, he must let his son and future generations inherit it.

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

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

This is what they are most satisfied with.

Xia Jingyi pointed at the crowd and laughed loudly: "Today this place is rotten, and tomorrow Dayan will be completely rotten."

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

"Bei Man, you're still watching!"

"Staring at the land they once owned!"

"I can die, I don't care about it, but I can't die!"

"The inheritance left by our ancestors must not be lost!"

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

He grabbed the armrest of the dragon chair to stabilize his body.

Xia Jingyi said coldly: "Who will tell Gu what to do now?"

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

Everyone was silent, bowed their heads and said nothing.

Shen Du stood in the hall, glanced left and right, smiled slightly, very good, didn't speak, right?
Immediately, he took a step forward, cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, the minister has played!"

"allow!"

"I implore Your Highness to restart the Beijing inspection and thoroughly investigate all officials of Dayan!"

"Return the people of the world to a bright future!"

A thunderous sound resounded in the Xuanzheng Hall!

Everyone's expression changed at the same time, their eyes wished to swallow Shen Du alive for a moment.

Are you singing oboe here?
