My wife is Invincible East
Page 79
I thought to myself: It's over. I couldn't handle an old eunuch in the palace, and now here comes an emperor who is beyond human. I'm afraid that today is not just a matter of losing face for the Songshan Sect, but worse, the Songshan Sect will be wiped out!
In just a few breaths, Zhu Moye's figure stepped onto the stone bricks, his feet firmly on the ground.
Upon seeing this, Shang Ming pulled up his robe and knelt on the ground with a plop: "Your servant kowtows to the emperor. May the emperor live long and long!"
"I, Qu Yang, pay my respects to His Majesty..."
Shang Ming's loud shout finally woke up Qu Yang, who was stunned by Zhu Moye's extremely cool appearance. He was overjoyed and bowed down in worship.
As he said this, he reached out and pulled Liu Zhengfeng, who was still watching the gods on the side.
When Liu Zhengfeng woke up, he saw two people kneeling in the field. He knew that the person who came was the emperor of the current dynasty, so how could he dare not kneel?
Master Dingyi, who had been in charge of protecting Liu Zhengfeng's wife and children and had not intervened in the hall, wiped her eyes in disbelief when she saw the visitor.
When she saw Zhu Moye's face clearly, she knelt on the ground without hesitation: "I, the poor nun Dingyi, kowtow to the emperor. Long live the emperor!"
Even the highly respected Master Dingyi knelt down, which fully proved that the person in front of her was the current emperor, Zhu Youji!
Yue Buqun and Taoist Tianmen, who were arguing with Dingyi in the hall, followed suit. Seeing the opportunity, they knelt down and shouted slogans of worshiping the emperor.
Everyone present was already feeling overwhelmed by Zhu Moye's imperial majesty, and when they saw that the most skilled martial artists had already knelt and kowtowed, they no longer had any doubts in their hearts.
Seeing that the emperor had arrived, they would not dare to act rashly even if they had a hundred times the courage.
They immediately gave up resisting the overwhelming pressure, letting their knees go weak and fall to the ground, all shouting to the sky.
One person knelt down, and then the second one followed, like a domino effect. In just a few blinks of an eye, all the martial artists in the audience knelt down.
The sound was so loud that it even shook the clouds above Liu Mansion apart.
"Be flat!"
Zhu Moye responded indifferently, then he moved his toes and his body swayed, leaving behind a series of afterimages.
The next second, he appeared in front of the trembling Fei Bin, grinning playfully:
"I heard you want to rebel!?"
Chapter 161 Songshan Sect’s Plan
Hearing this, Fei Bin was so frightened that he shuddered and got goosebumps all over his body.
The hint of murderous intent mixed in these indifferent words almost penetrated into the heart, making people feel terrified from the depths of their souls.
If he were a minister of the imperial court, he could still use conspiracy and trickery to incite the masses to provoke him, but the man in front of him would not dare to act naughty even if he was given a hundred ambitions and courage.
He immediately clasped his fists and said in a trembling voice, "Fei Bin would never dare to harbor such rebellious intentions. It's just that the eunuch's origins are unknown, his appearance at such a coincidence, and he refused to reveal his identity."
"We are all thinking about the emperor. His majesty is a man of great virtue, both civil and military. His achievements are unparalleled. If anyone were to forge an imperial edict and undermine his dignity, we would be condemned to death."
As expected of a veteran who has been in the underworld for decades, he can still turn around quickly and speak eloquently under such strong pressure, trying his best to excuse himself.
If it were an ordinary emperor, he would have been fooled by this sophistry and flattery.
But who is Zhu Moye? When it comes to dealing with enemies, he is definitely a tyrant!
Zhu Moye grinned and asked meaningfully, "Oh? It seems you are still loyal to me and wholeheartedly serving the country. Not only have you done nothing wrong, but you have actually made contributions?"
The indifferent look that swept over Fei Bin made him feel as if his clothes were no longer attached to his body, and that his whole body and even his soul were seen through.
Fei Bin's face was a little stiff, and he repeatedly avoided Zhu Moye's gaze. He bowed and said, "I dare not take credit for this. It is a great grace for the emperor to forgive our ignorance."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Moye's eyes flashed with a hint of teasing, and he said playfully, "Then how do you explain your private attempt to murder the imperial official Liu Zhengfeng?"
Beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on Fei Bin's forehead and rolled down, and his expression became a little panicked.
This emperor is more difficult to deal with than imagined. Once you get around one charge, another one will come down upon you, leaving you with no way to avoid it.
It was as if he had known every action in Liu's mansion clearly from a distance.
Could it be that... this series of events... were all orchestrated by him?!
Thinking of this, Fei Bin's pupils suddenly shrank.
Things that were originally easy to solve and could be done without much effort have become so complicated, forcing them to become more and more arrogant and rampant, as if they were stuck in a quagmire and unable to extricate themselves.
He had originally felt that something was amiss, but now, seeing Zhu Moye approaching, a horrible thought suddenly emerged in his mind.
"No, hold on!"
Fei Bin roared in his heart and quickly suppressed the terrifying feeling.
We must not lose our composure at this moment, otherwise we will really die without a burial place.
In an instant, Fei Bin calmed down. As his mind raced, a flash of inspiration came to his mind. He feigned surprise and asked, "Your Majesty, when did Liu Zhengfeng become an official of the imperial court? We were completely unaware of this."
"As long as he hasn't retired from the underworld and received the imperial decree to be conferred, even if we are in the martial arts world, we must naturally act according to the rules of the martial arts world."
"How can this be considered murdering an imperial official?"
Everyone present saw Fei Bin's eloquent speech, and the arrogant and contemptuous look he had just had was gone, and he looked like a complete jerk.
Everyone cursed in their hearts, "What a shameless guy!"
Just now, he used Liu Zhengfeng's family to threaten him, but when the threat failed, he directly injured people with hidden weapons. He took the opportunity to crush the golden basin and forcibly prevented Jin Pen from retiring. When the imperial edict arrived, he instigated everyone to act as guns and kill the person who delivered the imperial edict.
Now, look what happens. He uses extremely shameless rhetoric to completely shirk everything, pretending to know nothing and simply following the rules of the underworld, a righteous hero who saves the world.
They couldn't help but blush. It was really shameful to be from the same prestigious and upright family as such a guy.
When Zhu Moye heard these words, the weird smile on his face became more and more intense. This guy really understood the secret of resisting strict discipline and going home for the New Year, and he didn't reveal a single word in his words.
But, is it useful?
He sneered and said, "No matter how wonderful your words are, when I arrived just now, all the heroes present knelt on the ground, but the people of Songshan Sect showed no fear at all, holding their heads high and chests puffed out. They are truly majestic."
"This alone is enough to show the Songshan Sect's rebellious heart. Do you think I will believe your words?"
Thousands of people in the courtyard nodded in unison, a trace of awe flashing in their eyes.
The legendary emperor is the legendary emperor, without any exaggeration. No matter how impenetrable Fei Bin is or how quick his mind is, as long as the emperor catches on to him, he will be defeated miserably.
Hearing this, Fei Bin was shocked all over, as if he was hit by a heavy hammer, and he hurriedly wanted to explain.
"Your Majesty!"
Before he could speak, Zhu Moye's originally gentle expression suddenly changed, his starry eyes widened angrily, and he shouted in a stern voice.
Boom!
It was as if a divine thunder from the sky exploded in his mind. The light in Fei Bin's pupils suddenly disappeared, becoming unfocused and confused.
The next second, his knees bent and he knelt on the ground with a thud. His kneecaps cracked and blood stained the stone slabs, but there was not even a trace of pain on Fei Bin's face.
It's like a zombie without five senses and being controlled by someone.
"Tell me, what is the ulterior motive of the Songshan Sect?"
Zhu Moye's expression was stern, like a cold-faced judge. He asked directly without any hesitation.
A hint of confusion appeared in Fei Bin's hollow eyes. After a few seconds, he spoke truthfully with a stiff voice, "Zuo Lengchan ordered us to come to Hengyang to stop Liu Zhengfeng from retiring, force Qu Yang to reveal himself, kill the two men, establish our authority in front of the world's heroes, and prepare for the great cause of unifying the martial arts world in the future."
"Unifying the martial arts world is only Zuo Lengchan's first step. A few years ago, he accidentally obtained..."
"Fei Bin, shut up!"
Lu Bai, the only one who was still conscious in the Songshan Sect, was very anxious when he heard that Fei Bin was like a puppet, talking without thinking, and interrupted him with a roar.
Zhu Moye's face turned cold, his energy sank into his dantian, and he shouted softly: "Die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sound wave as powerful as a tidal wave rushed out, and Lu Bai's body exploded into a ball of blood mist.
"go on!"
Chapter 162 Zuo Lengchan's Ambition
When everyone saw this scene, their eyelids twitched wildly, and their eyes were filled with unconcealable fear.
Although he had been shocked to the point of being numb by Zhu Moye's miraculous skill of using the air as a ladder, he was still shocked to see him easily turn Ding Mian, the second best master of Songshan School, into a ball of blood mist with just a light shout.
I still couldn't help but feel my heart shrink and my soul began to tremble.
He said he would kill people, and it actually happened. This is the power of the greatest emperor of all time, so fierce that no one can surpass him.
Compared to their horror, Fei Bin was much calmer, even a little scary. His eyes didn't even flicker, as if he had lost his life.
He opened his mouth slightly and spoke slowly, "Several years ago, Zuo Lengchan got news about the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor. He was told that there were astonishing treasures inside. He wanted to unify the martial arts world and then dig up the treasures..."
At this point, Fei Bin's pupils suddenly trembled. After struggling for a few seconds, they turned gray again and continued:
"Recruit troops, overthrow the Ming Dynasty, and establish his own dynasty!"
Like a stone that caused a thousand waves, these words were earth-shattering and the whole audience was in an uproar.
"What! Zuo Lengchan actually has such a rebellious heart!"
"Bah, the Songshan Sect wants to unify the martial arts world. Where does it put Master Fang Zheng and Taoist Chongxu?!"
"Haha, those rats from the Songshan Sect actually came up with this plan. How funny!"
"Damn Zuo Lengchan, he actually wants to use us as pawns, this is outrageous!"
The crowd was suddenly extremely noisy and the place was packed with people.
Some sneered, some were furious, and some were compassionate.
If it was during the Chenghua period, Zuo Lengchan unified the martial arts world, with this prerequisite and Qin Shihuang's treasure.
With a huge amount of money, there will always be brave men. When the time comes, it will be possible to recruit soldiers and overthrow the corrupt Ming Dynasty.
Unfortunately, he met a god-like opponent, the eternal emperor Zhu Youji, who created an unprecedented prosperous era and improved the military and people's livelihood of the Ming Dynasty by dozens of times!
In this prosperous era, the people are rich and the country is strong. Everyone has meat to eat and clothes to wear. Officials and businessmen across the country are all extremely honest. There are no more injustices such as the snow in June that have been passed down throughout the ages.
It was a prosperous era that only came once in a thousand years. Not only would the emperor not allow it to be broken, even the people did not want a war to happen.
Even if they were to recruit soldiers, few would apply. Instead, they would all go out to attack.
Moreover, Zhu Moye only needed to use his god-like power to make Fei Bin confess all his daydreams, and his plan was nipped in the bud before it even began.
How did Zuo Lengchan fight with the emperor?
When Zhu Moye heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he was a little surprised.
Originally, he had expected that Zuo Lengchan was preventing him from retiring, not just because he was bored and wanted to kill Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang.
It can also be guessed that he wanted to establish his authority in front of heroes all over the world and create the image that the Songshan School is invincible and subservient to all. Even Liu Zhengfeng, who was about to enter the court as an official, could not escape his punishment, so as to pave the way for him to become the leader of the martial arts world in the future and make people dare not disobey him.
After witnessing the daydreams of Yu Canghai and others from the Qingcheng Sect, he also knew very well that at least half of the leaders of these famous and upright sects in the martial arts world had thoughts of rebellion.
It’s just that there is no good opportunity and strong capital to implement it.
Zhu Moye was not surprised at all that a conspirator like Zuo Lengchan wanted to usurp the throne.
However, when he heard the words "Museum of Qin Shi Huang", he couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
The name of the First Emperor is really too famous.
He was the first true emperor in the world. He swept across the world, wiped out the six kingdoms in one fell swoop, and unified the land of China.
He ordered people to forge the Heshi Bi as the imperial seal, and engraved the eight words "Mandate from Heaven, Long Live and Prosper" on it, creating a legend that will last forever.
Before the Qin Dynasty, the word "朕" meant "I" and anyone could use it.
In the pre-Qin period, most kings were called "The Great King" or "I".
It was only after Qin Shi Huang unified China that it became a term exclusively for the emperor.
It can be said that without Qin Shihuang, it is unknown whether the word "emperor" would have appeared.
Qin Shi Huang was an outright tyrant during his lifetime. After he pacified the world, he burned books and buried scholars alive, launching a literary inquisition, which caused a serious gap in Chinese culture.
After his death, thousands of living civilians, palace maids and soldiers were buried with him.
Most importantly, his imperial mausoleum contained almost all the wealth in the world at that time.
Moreover, the Qin and Han dynasties were the period when the largest amount of gold was mined in China. Emperor Wu of Han even built a palace made of pure gold for his beloved woman to live in, which is the origin of the saying "hiding a beauty in a golden house".
This shows how amazing the wealth of the Celestial Empire was at that time.
If any dynasty could solve the mystery of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum and obtain the wealth contained therein, the economy would be able to achieve rapid and qualitative leaps and reach an unprecedented peak.
But even in later generations, despite the use of various high technologies, the exact location of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum could not be found. In this world, it was discovered by Zuo Lengchan.
