Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

Song Xuan waved his hand and said, "He has an imperial seal in his hand. Bring it with you next time we meet!"

"it is good!"

"Let me ask you, why do you call me Lord God?"

The evil girl put down her chopsticks and pondered for a moment, "In the Abyss, gods are also divided into different levels, and gods like you, who are transformed by the rules of the Abyss, are the highest level of existence.

There, we call him the Lord God!"

After saying this, she tapped her forehead and said, "My head hurts a bit. I said some things to you that I shouldn't have said. My true form must have been punished by the rules of the Heavenly Abyss."

As she spoke, she stood up and said, "I'm leaving first. For the next while, I might stay in the imperial capital to see the place where you have lived all these years.

If you have any needs, please feel free to contact me.”

Chapter 516 Ji Xuanfeng: Song Xuan, someone is impeaching you, come and watch the show

The Great Zhou Palace, Taiji Hall.

Apart from occasional ceremonies, the Taiji Hall was rarely used for court sessions.

However, recently, with the implementation of the new policy, there are more and more things that require coordination and decision-making, and Ji Xuanfeng frequently holds grand court meetings in the Taiji Hall.

At this time, Ji Xuanfeng sat upright on the throne, looking around, and saw red, blue and purple court robes below.

There were patches of cranes, patches of peacocks, patches of xiezhi, belts around the waist inlaid with jade, and ones made of rhinoceros horns. It could be said that the entire court was filled with beasts in human clothing.

I don't mean to belittle it. In this era, those who can wear the official uniforms of the beasts in human clothing are all powerful people. Ordinary people cannot become beasts in human clothing even if they want to.

Song Xuan stood at the head of the Xuanyi Guard team and couldn't help but yawn.

Starting today, my wife Yaoyue will start a long period of seclusion, so the couple played a little late last night.

Originally, he had no intention of attending this grand court meeting. He had just received the notice and hurried to attend the court. At this moment, he actually felt a little sleepy, which was rare.

Being in the state of a sage, he was indifferent to everything in the outside world. At this moment, he felt that everything was boring.

The reason why he came to court this time was because some things involved the Xuanyi Guard.

During this period, because of the new policy, local Xuanyiwei went on a killing spree in various prefectures, especially in Qinzhou, Hanzhou, Jinzhou and other places. They killed so many people that blood flowed like a river, and only then did they suppress the power of the local aristocratic families.

Although the wealthy and powerful families were suppressed, it did not mean that they were willing to give up their family businesses that had lasted for hundreds of years.

If they couldn't resist with force, they would start with verbal and moral resistance. Many forces united and recommended some local celebrities with high moral character to come to the capital, hoping that these people with high moral character could change the emperor's mind with their eloquence.

They do not seek to abolish the new policy. As long as the policy can be slightly changed and does not shake the foundation of their families, their goal will be achieved.

Among these famous scholars, some were cabinet ministers who had retired during the reign of the old emperor, some were world-renowned Confucian scholars, and many of them wrote books and had extremely high prestige among the people.

They were allowed to participate in this grand court meeting as an exception, and the first thing they did in this court was to submit a memorial to impeach the Xuanyi Guard.

They had studied it before coming to the imperial capital.

The emperor needs the Xuanyiwei as a knife to implement the new policy, but at this moment, the knife is too sharp and too powerful, and the emperor may not be without fear of the Xuanyiwei.

Just like the old emperor back then, he ascended the throne with the support of the commander of the Xuanyiwei, but for decades after taking office, he had been subtly suppressing the Xuanyiwei in all aspects.

The power of the emperor and the power of the Xuanyi Guards depended on each other but also fought against each other secretly. In name, the two were subordinate to each other, but in reality, they were more like partners.

In such a complex relationship, conflicts and struggles are inevitable.

The current emperor is extremely powerful, and the commander of the Xuanyiwei of this generation is arguably the most powerful person in the history of the Xuanyiwei.

Two powerful beings come together to become partners, and there is no rift at all?

The reason these celebrities came to the capital this time was to tear open and magnify the rift between the emperor and the commander of the Xuanyi Guard!

As long as the contradiction between imperial power and the Xuanyi Guard reaches a certain level and becomes the main contradiction in the Great Zhou, the crises and disasters currently faced by local forces can be easily resolved.

The emperor and the Xuanyi Guards are busy fighting among themselves, so how could they have time to care about any new policies?

Ji Xuanfeng looked at the impeachment memorials jointly submitted by these so-called celebrities.

He impeached the Xuanyi Guards for twelve crimes in total, including killing innocent people, looting property, excluding dissidents, being disloyal to the king and father, and intending to rebel.

Ji Xuanfeng read the memorial calmly from beginning to end, "This memorial is quite interesting. My dear ministers, please take a look at it!"

Eunuch Cao hurried forward, took the memorial, and then handed it to the chief minister of the cabinet.

Prime Minister Wang Yan flipped open the memorial and glanced at it, then glanced with some surprise and doubt at the old guys standing in the center of the court with serious expressions on their faces.

He felt a little unhappy.

He is the chief minister of the cabinet and the head of all officials. These old guys came to Beijing to cause trouble, but they didn't even come to his house to pay their respects. They don't take him, Lord Wang, seriously!

After taking a quick glance, he snorted in his heart and handed the letter to Lin Ruhai.

Just take a look at these impeachment charges. It doesn’t matter whether they are true or false. They are just an introduction.

The emperor wants to set up the Xuanyi Guard, so even if the content of this memorial is false, it can become true.

If the emperor does not want to deal with it, even if the charges in the memorial are true, they will become false.

As for whether the emperor will move against the Xuanyi Guards?

Even if he lost his brain, he would not have such an idea.

The Grand Master of the Perfect Mandate of Heaven is in charge of the imperial capital. How desperate must the emperor be to bring such trouble upon himself?

Lin Ruhai quietly flipped through the memorial and sighed slightly after reading it.

The emperor is far away and the sky is high. These people are far away from the power center of the imperial capital. They have poor intelligence collection and analysis capabilities, and their vision is even worse. They cannot see the general trend of the world clearly.

I thought it was back in the old emperor's time, when once an impeachment memorial was submitted, everyone would curse at each other in the court?

The memorials were passed down one after another. Half an hour later, everyone who was qualified to read them had read them.

"What do you think, my dear ministers?"

The ministers kept silent.

What else can you think?

These old guys are doomed.

But they cannot say this. Although these people have already received death penalty, they are indeed very prestigious among the people. If they are not careful, the blame may be put on their own heads.

In the silence, Lin Daiyu, the notorious critic of the Censorate, stepped out.

She suddenly pointed at the old men who had impeached her and shouted angrily, "Justice is clear. The suffering and hardship facing the people of the Great Zhou is all due to you, the traitors!"

As soon as he finished speaking, perhaps because he felt that what he said was a bit too subtle and not straightforward enough, Lin Duidui spoke again directly, "You old guys, you are still jumping around after retirement. How can you have the nerve to come to the capital to impeach others?!"

The old man who was pointed at in the nose and scolded was so angry that his hair and beard stood on end. He retired from the position of cabinet minister twenty years ago. After returning to his hometown, who in the local area would not be respectful to him when they saw him?

At this moment, he was pointed at the nose and scolded by a yellow-haired girl, and he immediately exploded.

"I know you, Lin Daiyu from the Imperial Censorate! The legitimate daughter of Lord Lin. Others may be afraid of you, but I am not!"

"According to the ancestral system, the Censorate, the Imperial Censorate, and the Supreme Court were established by Taizu to monitor and impeach officials. In addition, any official who retired after completing his term still had the right to report to the emperor and impeach any illegal activity.

You are disrespecting Taizu by questioning the system of censors and my power to impeach.

"Lin Daiyu, you are disrespectful to Taizu. Could it be that you are plotting rebellion?"

Chapter 517: Between the nine clans and leaving your name in history, you choose the latter, right?

This old man, named Sima Chong, came from a branch of the Sima family, a large family in Jinzhou. At his highest official position, he served as a member of the cabinet and concurrently served as the Minister of Personnel.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the old men behind him started to criticize Lin Daiyu as if they were injected with chicken blood.

"According to ancestral rules, the censor's duty is to impeach all officials and serve as the emperor's eyes and ears, keeping track of public order. Lin Daiyu, as a censor, why don't you impeach officials who violate laws and discipline, but instead target us and make things difficult for us? What's your intention?"

"Anyone who forms a clique for personal gain, acts as a treacherous and treacherous official, and abuses power to disrupt government will be impeached! The Black Guards are now relying on force to commit cholera beyond their authority and harm the people. As an imperial envoy, you dare not impeach them, but instead shield and protect Chen Hang. You deserve to be killed!"

"Lin Daiyu, you have evil intentions and ulterior motives!"

"Lin Daiyu..."

After all, these old guys have been in the officialdom for decades and are quite good at criticizing others. If it were someone else, they would probably not be able to stand being criticized like this.

But who was Lin Duidui? He was a master who had achieved nine sprays per second in the imperial court. Even when surrounded by several old men, he remained calm.

Seeing that the old guys were tired and couldn't keep up with the pace of their speech, she sneered: "Old bastards, when you were in power, what achievements did you have besides framing loyal and good people and acting as pawns for traitors?

No, you are not pawns, you are traitors!

The Great Zhou had been in decline for a long time, and local forces had tended to break away from the center, all because of you and me.

The Emperor is merciful and cannot bear to hold anyone accountable, yet you, on the other hand, are making groundless accusations and impeaching the Black Guards. This is to accuse the Emperor of injustice and put the country in danger. What exactly is your intention?

Sima Chong was so angry that his whole body was shaking. The more indifferent Lin Daiyu was, the angrier he became, especially when he saw all the civil and military officials in the court looking at him with ambiguous attitudes. He felt that all the officials in the court were treacherous.

"Traitors, you colluded with the Xuanyi Guards to slaughter the wise men of the world, wantonly slaughtered the nobles and plundered the land and wealth. What's the difference between this and rebellion!"

At this moment, he remembered the guidance of his mentor when he was young and the reading of books by sages. Wasn't it all for the purpose of restoring peace to the world?

Now treacherous ministers are in power and the emperor is confused. He allows the Xuanyiwei to persecute the aristocratic families and kill the gentry and wealthy merchants, causing wars and killings everywhere in the world.

This is going to destroy the country!

At this moment, his blood boiled and he felt that the time had come to sacrifice his life for justice!

What's there to criticize about a young girl? If he has to criticize someone, he should criticize the most powerful person in the world. If he can use his passion to awaken the conscience in the heart of the emperor, then he, Sima Chong, is willing to die for it!

Thinking of this, he suddenly looked towards Ji Xuanfeng who was sitting on the throne of the emperor, and shouted loudly with a high-spirited expression: "Your Majesty!"

Ji Xuanfeng frowned and felt a little impatient when looking at Sima Chong who was full of energy.

He called Song Xuan over just to let him watch the show.

He knew that Song Xuan had some peculiar hobbies. He particularly liked watching the ministers in the court quarreling with each other, especially watching the delicate Lin Daiyu quarreling with others.

I wanted to let him have some fun today, but unexpectedly, this fun seemed to involve me.

But Sima Chong suddenly knelt down and crawled forward on the ground, getting closer and closer to the emperor. If Eunuch Cao had not stepped forward to hold him down, this guy might have crawled to the throne and hugged the emperor's thighs.

Being held down by Cao Zhengchun, Sima Chong looked up at Ji Xuanfeng with determination, "Your Majesty, the court is full of treacherous officials, and it is far from the peaceful and prosperous times when the old emperor was on the throne.

"If we talk about the root cause of this matter, I believe it all lies with Your Majesty! I implore Your Majesty to examine your mistakes, issue an edict of self-repentance, and restore peace to the Great Zhou!"

All the officials were shocked.

Another earthquake,

Three shocks!

What a mess!

I've seen some fierce ones, but this is the first time I've seen one with such strong fighting power.

Is there no one left in this world you care about? Or is it that your nine clans have some deep hatred against you?

Even the few old men who followed Sima Chong opened their eyes wide at this moment, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Fuck your mother!

It was agreed that the focus would be on the Xuanyi Guards, expanding the conflict between the emperor and the Xuanyi Guards and causing internal fighting between the imperial power and the Xuanyi Guards.

So what are you doing?

When I asked you to start a team fight and attract aggro, you went straight for the team's annihilation, right?

Prime Minister Wang Yan and Lin Ruhai looked at each other, both of them didn't quite understand.

What kind of routine is this?

You haven't even figured out the impeachment of a Xuanyi Guard, and now you're pointing the finger at the emperor. Are the local wealthy families all so simple and crude in their style of doing things now?

Lin Daiyu, who had been talking a lot, closed her cherry lips and stood back in the imperial censors' queue in a coquettish manner.

If you impeach my cousin, I will definitely criticize you, but if you criticize the emperor, that’s fine, I will pretend I didn’t see it.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were turned to the emperor sitting high on the throne. A depressing atmosphere filled the hall, and many people seemed to hear their own heartbeats.

Ji Xuanfeng stared speechlessly at Sima Chong, who was holding his head high with an attitude of being ready to die.

You old thing, you can't criticize Lin Daiyu, so you come to cause trouble for me, right?

It's a rare occasion that I pulled Song Xuan over here today to watch the fun and enjoy his fun, but thanks to you, old man, I've become the fun.

He glanced at Song Xuan who was standing at the head of the Xuanyi Guards. Commander Song, who was originally panting and looking a little listless, now had bright eyes and looked full of energy.

Wow, I’m absolutely so happy.
