Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

After working for most of the night and everyone leaving, Sun Muxue took the initiative to work overtime to organize tonight's files.

After respectfully watching Lady Song Qian leave the yamen, she breathed a sigh of relief, and the excitement on her face could not be suppressed at all.

She clenched her fists, extremely happy. This was the first time she understood so directly how terrifying the power of the Imperial City Bureau was.

Subconsciously, she looked towards the office of Inspector Song, and her cheeks flushed for no reason.

Biting her red lips lightly, she felt a little regretful.

How great would it have been if the master had really slept with her in that office at that time?

...

"Ah ha ha ha ha ha!"

In Song Xuan's yard, as soon as Song Erni pushed the door open, her tense expression relaxed. She put her hands on her waist and laughed in high spirits.

Song Xuan was studying the half of the fate chart. Seeing her come back, he casually asked, "Is everything done?"

"I, Song Luotian, am not able to accomplish anything?"

Victoria Song said cheerfully, "What imperial nobility, what conspiracies, in front of me, are all child's play. Brother, I just realized that with my ability to judge cases in court, if I were a civil servant, I would have the qualifications to become a famous official in the world!"

Song Xuan glanced at her and said, "Absolutely impossible! This kind of illusion is unacceptable!"

"Hey!"

Victoria Song was not angry. She sat on a chair, picked a bunch of grapes, spit out the grape skins, and said with a smile: "Anyway, no matter what the process was, the result was completed according to your request, brother.

At the grand court meeting tomorrow, you can take action against the Crown Prince's men!"

Chapter 782 Queen: As long as Song Xuan is overthrown, the prince can ascend the throne?

When the sky began to brighten, Song Xuan received a visitor in the yard.

The old Duke of Chengguo Mansion, Cheng Daokong!

People call him Daokong Zhenren!

Song Xuan brewed a pot of tea and said with a smile, "I thought you would hold on until dawn before coming to see me!"

The old Duke sighed, "I'm old, and I can't hold back. When I think about how you established your authority for the first time in the imperial capital, and how you established it above me, I feel really bad."

Song Xuan smiled slightly, "I didn't mean to target you specifically, it's just a coincidence, isn't it?"

"What a coincidence!"

The old Duke nodded and said, "That's why I feel so uncomfortable. There are so many old monsters hidden in this imperial capital, why am I the only one who is so unlucky!

You don’t know that in the second half of the night, I received messages from more than ten old monsters. They appeared to care about me, but secretly, they all wanted to make fun of me.

I am a Duke of the Imperial Dynasty in the Mahayana stage. The Duke's Mansion was blocked, but I dared not say a word. This is a complete disgrace to me."

Song Xuan comforted her, "Everyone has bad luck sometimes, just like me..."

He paused, reminiscing, and it seemed like he hadn't really had any bad luck. Then he smiled and said, "Actually, being embarrassed isn't a big deal. Everyone has their share of embarrassing moments.

It is better to lose face than to lose life, old Duke, don’t you think so? "

"You're absolutely right!"

The old Duke's expression relaxed considerably, and he laughed heartily, "I've always been cautious, so when I saw your sister, I sensed something was amiss. Without a word, I went straight to meet fellow Daoists Shouyin and Shuimo."

As he spoke, he sighed, "Fortunately, I met them first. Otherwise, I would have lost more than just my face!"

He looked at Song Xuan with deep eyes and whispered, "That old monster from the White Horse Academy was really killed by you!"

Song Xuan smiled without saying anything, just looked at him quietly.

The old Duke immediately understood what was going on and waved his hand, "Forget it, I shouldn't ask too much about your Imperial City Division's case."

After picking up the teacup and taking a sip, the two of them were silent for a moment. The old Duke continued, "So, you are seriously planning to help the Second Prince ascend the throne?"

Song Xuan nodded and gave a clear answer, "I don't like being schemed against, but since our good Majesty insists on me being the sword, then he must bear the backlash of my being the sword."

He paused, then said word by word: "Either Zhao Zhe takes the throne, or Dao Song ceases to exist!"

The old Duke was silent for a long time, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.

Finally, he sighed, "If you had said this before, I would have just taken it as a joke.

But now, I dare not question it at all. I cannot question the existence of someone who can bring down the old monster of the White Horse Academy!"

After he finished speaking, he stood up and said, "I have never been involved in the succession of the throne, but now, for the sake of the destiny of the Dao Song Dynasty and the stability of the dynasty, I have no choice but to step down and take sides!"

After pondering for a moment, he smiled casually, "Second Prince, he's actually not bad! He's been bullied by the Crown Prince for so many years, but his mentality hasn't broken. In terms of character alone, he's much better than Zhao Gou!"

......

The next morning, in the Kunning Palace of the Imperial Palace, Emperor Zhao Pan pulled his body out of the Queen's.

Although his movement was light, the queen still sensed it. She nodded slightly and stood up to adjust the dragon robe for Zhao Pan.

While Zhao Pan asked the queen to change his clothes, he took out a jade slip and sensed the news coming from it.

"Your Majesty, I heard that there was a conflict between the Imperial City Bureau and the Duke Cheng's Mansion last night?"

Zhao Pan hummed, "You know Song Xuan, right?"

The Queen laughed, "I know, His Majesty has chosen the helper for the Second Prince!"

Zhao Pan pinched her chin and said, "Why are you laughing? I did this to help our eldest son grow up quickly.

Over the years, he has relied on my favor and the power of the sect behind you to do things without considering the consequences. He doesn't have the cunning and vision of a crown prince at all!

Don't interfere in the fight between him and the Second Prince. When he can become a qualified Crown Prince, I will abdicate!"

The Queen opened her red lips slightly and nodded gently, "I know Your Majesty is doing this for the good of our child. I'm just worried that the child will be upset and think that Your Majesty is suppressing him..."

"If he can't figure it out, then he can think about it slowly!"

The Queen's expression froze, and she changed the subject, saying, "Your Majesty, could the Song Xuan you just mentioned be related to the conflict last night?"

"Ok!"

Speaking of Song Xuan, a smile appeared on Zhao Pan's lips, "I have read this man's resume. I always thought he was too perfect, without any human weaknesses.

But now it seems that this person has no major problems, he is just a little lustful.

He slept with the daughter of the Marquis of Changchun right in the government office!"

"The daughter of the Marquis of Changchun?"

The Queen recalled for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Your Majesty, you are talking about Mu Xue's child, right?"

"It's her!"

Zhao Pan laughed and said, "Last night, Mu Xue went to attend a banquet at the Duke Cheng's mansion and was harassed and insulted by some young masters, and then she started to fight!

The Duke's House's chief steward was not lenient with a disgraced daughter of a marquis, and arrested her on the spot!"

The Queen suddenly realized, "So, Song Xuan sent people to surround the Duke's Mansion? He's so angry for his beloved, this man is really a love-struck man!"

Zhao Pan nodded and said, "Although the Imperial City Department is powerful, that old Duke is not a pushover. It is unwise for Song Xuan to offend such an old man for a woman.

But it’s better this way. He has weaknesses, so the prince won’t be at a loss when dealing with him in the future.

Song Xuan, a man who went from being a deputy captain to becoming a powerful inspector in just a few decades, his methods were truly extraordinary.

Once the Crown Prince overthrows him, he will basically be qualified to sit on the throne!"

The queen's eyes lit up.

As long as Song Xuan is overthrown, the prince can ascend the throne?

"Your Majesty, there was no fighting last night, right?"

"Nothing happened. According to the eunuch who delivered the decree, everyone had already dispersed when my decree arrived. I heard that the old Duke went to find the two deputy commanders!"

The Queen smiled and said, "So, the Imperial City Division isn't a monolithic entity. The Commanding Officer didn't object to Song Xuan mobilizing troops to rescue people, but after rescuing them, he also didn't support him making a big fuss!"

Zhao Pan glanced at her and said, "Don't think about attacking the Imperial City Bureau. The Imperial City Bureau has always been loyal to the emperor. They will be loyal to whoever is the emperor!

When Gou'er ascends the throne, the Imperial City Office will be loyal to him.

But now, you and your son should behave yourself. I can tolerate other things, but before I abdicate, even you, the crown prince, are not allowed to get your hands on the Imperial City Bureau!

This is the ancestral precept of our Zhao family. If the Crown Prince is disliked by the Imperial City Office for extending his influence too far, then he will not be able to sit firmly on the throne!"

Flicking his sleeves, he said in a deep voice, "Alright, I have to go to court now. It's going to be very busy today. The memorials impeaching Song Xuan will probably be taller than the people themselves!"

Chapter 783 The Grand Court Meeting of the Qiyun Dynasty!

Huangji Hall is where the grand court meeting is held once a month.

Lord Song came sitting in a carriage, holding a piece of glutinous rice cake in his hand, and he arrived almost on time.

After entering the palace and arriving at the gate of Huangji Hall, all I saw was a sea of ​​people.

Red, black, blue, purple... There are all kinds of official robes in various styles, and different rare birds and beasts are embroidered on them. They are of various shapes and lifelike, a group of beasts in human clothing.

Lord Song was wearing the uniform of an imperial official with a dragon embroidered on his chest. As soon as he entered the palace, he attracted a lot of attention.

Everyone knows that the Imperial City Administration has a new inspector with considerable power, but many people have only heard of him but have never seen him. Today, they finally saw the true face of Inspector Song.

I have to say that Song Xuan's appearance is really good. Among the officials waiting to go to court, there are also women. After seeing Song Xuan's appearance and figure, many of them stared at him.

Although it was Song Xuan's first time to attend court in the dynasty of Wanling Continent, he was an old hand when it came to attending court and did not feel unfamiliar at all.

Walking forward step by step along the bluestone steps, Lord Song casually ate the glutinous rice cake in his hand and greeted everyone with a smile.

"Morning!"

"have you eaten?"

"Didn't eat? This is a bad habit, you have to change it in the future!"

...

His easygoing side made everyone a little confused. Judging from his attitude, it didn't seem like he would dare to send troops to surround the Duke's Mansion just for a woman last night.

Could it be that the rumor is wrong?

Or, this guy knows that someone wants to impeach him today, so he is actively showing goodwill, hoping that everyone will not cause trouble for him?

How can it be!

This is the imperial capital, the imperial court!

The imperial capital doesn't believe in goodwill, and the court only cares about power. We finally got hold of something that might be used against you, and if we don't report you to death, we won't be able to explain to the crown prince!

...

The Huangji Palace was indeed large. Song Xuan glanced at it casually, just glancing at the luxurious structures. Finally, he came to a conclusion.

This place is more like a square than a hall, with a cover on top, and its main feature is its large area.

Even if tens of thousands of people attended court at the same time, it did not seem crowded at all.

Officials from all walks of life began to stand in an orderly manner, with the imperial envoys and censors standing on the far left, the nobles standing on the far right, and the two rows in the middle were civil and military officials respectively.

As for Song Xuan, a high-ranking official of the Imperial City Administration, he was not listed separately because there were only three people qualified to attend court today, two deputy commanders and him, the inspector.

After Song Xuan glanced at the positions of the two commanding officers, he walked obediently towards the row of nobles.

The old fellow, Duke Chengguo, sat calmly at the head of the noble class, and was now resting with his eyes closed.

Behind him sat two deputy commanders of the Imperial City Administration, and behind these two stood a group of marquises and earls.

Seeing Song Xuan coming, the nobles subconsciously took a step back and very tactfully made room for Lord Song. Many of them looked at him with flattering eyes, but of course, more of them were filled with fear.

Duke Cheng opened his eyes, glanced at Song Xuan, nodded slightly, and shouted to the eunuchs on the side of the hall, "How can you do this? Hurry up and bring a chair over for Lord Song!"

The middle-aged eunuch who was scolded was stunned and looked a little hesitant.

Whether or not one can have a seat at the grand court meeting is a matter of fact. Every one of them is a Mahayana being and has been approved by His Majesty.

He really didn't dare to add chairs without His Majesty's permission.

But Duke Chengguo is the head of the nobles, and his words carry great weight. If I don't give him face in public, I will probably suffer a lot in the future.

At this moment, the middle-aged eunuch was extremely conflicted and was about to cry.

He didn't dare to offend His Majesty, nor did he dare to offend the Duke. Being a slave was really too difficult!
