Dafeng Night Watchman

Chapter 636: Chapter 636: Revenge

Hearing this, several princesses and county ladies showed worried expressions.

Some of them were indifferent to the matter, some thought that their fathers and brothers might benefit from it, and some were afraid that their luxurious life would be affected.

Only Lin'an was sincerely worried and worried for his brother.

Huaiqing was also worried and worried, but not for Emperor Yongxing, but from a higher level of overall perspective.

"If this matter spreads, will the officials force Your Majesty to issue an edict of guilt?"

"Some people will take the opportunity to accuse Your Majesty of calling for donations and angering the ancestors. Those civil and military officials who are dissatisfied with Your Majesty have a reason to attack Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and such a thing happened. It is a major blow to his prestige."

They talked about it in a flurry. Huaiqing saw Lin'an's face and quickly collapsed, frowning and worried.

Since Emperor Yongxing came to power, Lin'an has become more and more concerned about political affairs, paying attention to both big and small things.

She certainly did not suddenly become ambitious and began to crave power. .

Before Emperor Yuan Jing was in power, she only needed to be a carefree canary, and she had no need or qualification to participate in political affairs.

Now that Emperor Yongxing has ascended the throne, natural disasters and man-made disasters are like diseases, tormenting the aging dynasty.

As the emperor's brother, he is the first to bear the brunt, facing this pressure, like walking on thin ice.

When he first ascended the throne, he was still full of enthusiasm and worked hard to govern the country, but now his efforts have declined and exhausted, and the new emperor has shown signs of fatigue.

Especially since Prime Minister Wang is ill and can no longer bury himself in papers all night as before, the emperor is under greater pressure.

As the sister of Emperor Yongxing, Lin'an certainly can't be as heartless as before and be a carefree princess.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Emperor Yongxing could not give her a sense of security, and she would always worry about her brother.

During the reign of Emperor Yuan Jing, although the situation of the dynasty was not good and the national strength was declining, Emperor Yuan Jing was an emperor who could suppress his ministers.

At this time, the eunuch served the princess a cup of hot tea.

Huaiqing took it casually, took a sip casually, and then keenly noticed the doubt and surprise in the eunuch's eyes.

She squinted slightly, put down the teacup without any reaction, and said lightly:

"It's scalded."

The eunuch bowed his head: "This servant deserves to die."

Huaiqing said "hmm", without any intention of punishing, crossed his hands on his lower abdomen, and concentrated on thinking about the problem of Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple.

Knock knock... She knocked on the tea table, and the chattering of the royal branches and jade leaves stopped immediately.

"Will it be an earthquake?" she asked.

Lin'an shook his head: "According to the report of the Imperial Guards, they did not notice the earthquake. There was no earthquake in the palace either, only in Sangpo."

Sangpo is very close to the palace and the Imperial Guards camp. If it was an earthquake, it is impossible that neither side would have noticed it at all.

Lin'an hesitated slightly, leaned close to Huaiqing's ear, and whispered:

"I heard from Zhao Xuanzhen that the statue of Emperor Gaozu was cracked."

"The Sword of the State is missing."

Huaiqing's pupils shrank slightly, and he stared at her seriously.

Lin'an's oval face was also very serious, and he pecked his head hard.

In this case, this matter is most likely related to the Supervisor. Except for the Supervisor, no one in the world can control the Sword of the State at will... The Supervisor took the Sword of the State, and then in the Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple, the tablets of the ancestors were all smashed, and the statue of Emperor Gaozu was cracked...

What is going on now that requires the Supervisor to use the Sword of the State? No, it may not be for him to use, so that The position of the Supervisor should not need the Sword of the Nation...

Is it Xu Qian'an? !

A lecherous face appeared in Huaiqing's mind. She took a deep breath and drove that face out of her mind.

Then, she left the side hall under the pretext of going to the toilet. In the spacious and quiet clean room with yellow silk curtains, she took off the sachet on her waist and took out the fragment of the Earth Book from the sachet.

[One: The Sword of the Nation is lost. Do you know the details? ]

After waiting for a while, no one responded.@@novelbin@@

Huaiqing frowned. Mei, sent a letter again:

[One: This matter is of great importance. ]

Still no one responded, this is unreasonable.

[Five: The national sword is lost? Then hurry up and find it. ]

Finally someone responded, but it was a Lina.

[Five: Number One, what happened in the palace? Isn't the Dafeng national sword sealed in Sangpo? How can it be lost just like that? That's Sangpo. ]

[Five: The national sword can also be lost, so you Dafeng emperors should be careful, the thieves can steal the national sword, and they can also steal his head. ]

right He said a lot.

It's not worth wasting time with her, it's hard to explain... Huaiqing typed helplessly:

[Let's talk about this later. ]

Put away the fragments of the Earth Book again.

.......

In the Imperial Study.

The royal family members gathered together, and three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were gathered here, including the uncle of Emperor Yongxing, Prince Li, the uncle of Emperor Yongxing, and Prince Yu, his brothers.

The atmosphere in the hall was serious, and the princes in casual clothes frowned.

"Did the Sitianjian reply?"

"The Supervisor did not reply."

The princes were disappointed, angry, and helpless. Even when Emperor Yuan Jing was in power, the Supervisor ignored him and the royal family.

"Where is the Zhenguo Sword?"

"The Zhenguo Sword was taken away by the Supervisor half a month ago, and he informed me of this. "

The question and answer continued for a while, and the princes and dukes stopped talking.

"If it wasn't an earthquake, what caused the ancestors to be angry? I told you not to call for donations, which would lose the support of the people, but Your Majesty didn't listen to my advice. Now the ancestors are angry, alas..." another prince said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, the princes and dukes looked at Emperor Yongxing and kept silent.

All the ancestral tablets were broken, which was a very bad incident.

If such a thing happened in some aristocratic families, the family might be forced to abdicate.

The nature of the monarch of a country determines that it cannot be easily replaced, but even so, the eyes of the royal family looking at Emperor Yongxing are full of blame and complaints.

Think he is not a wise monarch.

After a short silence, the gray-haired Prince Yu said:

"Could this matter be related to the Yunzhou lineage? "

The princes were shocked.

After the incident of Xu Qian'an beheading the previous emperor, Xu Pingfeng appeared in the world, and everything related to him has been exposed to the sun.

Important figures in the court, a small group of people at the core of the dynasty's power, such as the cabinet ministers, and this group of princes, knew that the lineage lurked in Yunzhou five hundred years ago and intended to rebel.

"Does Prince Yu mean that this matter involves a dispute over the fate of the country?"

"Then Xu Pingfeng is the eldest disciple of Jianzheng, and magicians are closely related to the fate of the country..."

"For Emperor Gaozu, the lineage five hundred years ago was also a descendant of the Ji family..."

The more Emperor Yongxing listened, the uglier his face looked.

The fourth prince's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice:

"My uncles, what should we do about this matter? "

His current title is Prince Yan.

The royal family of Dafeng generally has only two titles: Prince and Prince of the County. Prince of the County is the title of the legitimate son of the prince except the crown prince.

Prince Yu pondered for a moment and said:

"First of all, this matter must be kept secret. Pass the order down. Anyone who spreads it will be killed without mercy.

"The call for donations has caused complaints from all walks of life. We cannot give you an excuse to criticize Your Majesty. This matter is also a major blow to Your Majesty's prestige."

The sound of the cane tapping on the ground attracted everyone's attention. The princes and princes could not help but look at the old man sitting on the left side of Emperor Yongxing, on a large sandalwood chair.

An old man in casual clothes, with sparse white hair, wrinkles and age spots on his face.

Prince Li.

The uncle of the late Emperor Yuan Jing, an octogenarian, the most senior person in the royal family today.

In the incident of Prince Zhenbei, this old prince also cooperated with Emperor Yuan Jing to play a play.

"This is not just a matter of your majesty's reputation, nor even a matter of those writers who eat the emperor's food."

Prince Li's voice was hoarse, but it echoed in the imperial study room with unusual loudness.

The old man stood up tremblingly, looked around, and said in a deep voice:

"Five hundred years ago, that lineage was dormant in Yunzhou and ready to go. At this critical moment, the ancestral tablets fell, and Emperor Gaozu's body was broken......

"Yongxing, this is because the ancestors are not satisfied with you, and Emperor Gaozu is not satisfied with you."

Emperor Yongxing's face changed drastically: "Uncle, you......"

Prince Li's words, in other occasions, other times, would be treasonous.

But in such an occasion, in such an incident, there is no problem with his words, and the royal princes will only think that he is right.

Prince Li continued:

"This matter is my royal family's family affair, and it must be concealed. But you must issue a self-blame edict and stop soliciting donations from all officials. In addition, Your Majesty should reflect on your mistakes in the ancestral temple for three days and pray for forgiveness from your ancestors.

Emperor Yongxing looked grim: "Uncle, I have just ascended the throne, how can I issue a self-blame edict..."

Since he ascended the throne, cold disasters have swept across the Central Plains, causing the people to be hungry, freezing to death and starving to death, and refugees everywhere.

It was not easy to restore some reputation because of donations to disaster relief.

Issuing a self-blame edict at this time is not just a slap in the face for a new monarch.

It is almost like saying: I am not worthy of being an emperor!

How can he accept this?

"As a minister, I should not say that Your Majesty is wrong. But as an uncle, as a descendant of the Ji family, can't I say it? Even if the previous emperor is in power, I will make him kowtow to the ancestors and apologize.

King Li slammed his cane hard: "Yongxing, since you sit in this position, you should bear your responsibilities. "

You are taking advantage of your age! Why didn't you dare to advise your father when he was practicing Taoism? You are bullying me because my foundation is not stable and forcing me to bear the crime of "the anger of my ancestors"... The veins on Emperor Yongxing's forehead were throbbing.

A prince stepped out and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, the attitude of the ancestors involves the fate of the country. You must not underestimate it and let the Yunzhou lineage get the advantage."

Emperor Yongxing sat down dejectedly:

"I know. If I can satisfy the ancestors, what if I issue a self-criticism edict and reflect on my mistakes for three days."

......

In the dense forest.

Jingxin glanced around, his eyes swept over Li Miaozhen, Chu Yuanzhen, and Hengyuan, and then looked at Li Lingsu again, saying:

"There is something strange about the mirror in his hand."

As soon as the voice fell, a gust of wind blew up, and the white tiger flew towards Li Lingsu with the wind. The speed was so fast that even the fourth-grade warriors present did not react.

"You are not allowed to kill! "

Jingxin put his hands together and performed the commandments.

Not to kill, what was imprisoned was Li Lingsu's killing intention, to dispel his idea of ​​counterattack, to ensure that Baihu could be killed in one blow and eliminate the biggest threat.

Qi Huan Danxiang was a fourth-grade heart Gu master after all, and he was unconscious without a sound. Such means could also be used to deal with them.

Li Lingsu sneered, and golden light burst out in his Dantian, eliminating the power of the commandments into nothingness.

A golden elixir breaks all laws!

At the same time, Li Miaozhen stretched out her arm and aimed at Baihu. Her pupils became transparent and empty, without emotion.

In an instant, the clothes on Baihu's body were The body tightened, the belt tried to strangle him, the shoes automatically detached, flew up and hit his cheek, and the hair wrapped around his neck and blocked his eyes.

The Qi in his body was reversed and uncontrolled.

This made his attack on Li Lingsu ineffective.

Taking advantage of the help of his junior sister, Li Lingsu retreated with the flying sword, and at the same time, a pocket-sized scumbag jumped out of his forehead, and his little hand slapped the white tiger's forehead.

Thump thump thump... Liu Hongmian stepped on the tree trunk quickly, and caught up with Li Lingsu's body with the explosive power of a warrior.

She flew high, and the soft sword on her waist turned into a sharp light.

Besiege Wei to save Zhao.

"Swish! "

A sword light shot out from the side.

Liu Hongmian relied on the body of a fourth-rank warrior, standing tall and unafraid, intending to resist the sword energy and cut Li Lingsu's body.

Dang!

The iron sword did not break Liu Hongmian's body, but her eyes suddenly became dull, and her body was like a runaway carriage, crashing straight into Li Lingsu, and the soft sword in her hand could not be swung.

The human sect's heart sword cuts the soul.

"Wake up! "

Jingxin shouted in a low voice, like a loud bell, awakening Liu Hongmian from her dream.

He flexibly used the brainwashing ability of the seventh-grade mage to help Liu Hongmian get rid of her unconscious state.

At this time, Liu Hongmian was less than ten feet away from Li Lingsu's body, and the soft sword could easily kill him with the sword energy it exhaled.

Liu Hongmian swung the soft sword without hesitation.

Dang! At this moment, a golden big hand reached out and crushed the sword energy.

"Amitabha, female donor, don't start a war, peace is the most precious. "

Hengyuan's face was full of compassion, and then he slapped Liu Hongmian with his backhand.

He had cultivated the Vajra Divine Art, and his combat power officially entered the fourth-grade realm.

At this time, Li Lingsu's Nascent Soul successfully slapped the white tiger's eyebrows.

Silently, without any fluctuations in the energy, the back of the white tiger's head suddenly shook out an illusory figure, that was his Yuanshen.

The upper body of this Yuanshen left the flesh, and the lower body stubbornly remained in the body.

The Yuanshen of a warrior is tenacious, even the Yuanshen of the Taoist sect cannot easily shake the Yuanshen out of the body.

The Hun Tian Shenjing flashed with brilliance, and before the White Tiger's Yuanshen returned to the flesh, it was captured in the mirror.

The tall and sturdy body of the White Tiger fell down with a bang, and he was unconscious.

And Jingyuan, who was about to come to help, was restrained by Dongfang Wanqing.

In front of her ally and her lover, she chose the latter without hesitation.
