Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 226 Second Elder's Counterattack
Liang Jixiong returned to the Canglong Hall in Yinshi, mobilized all the Canglong Guards, and set up the altar in an hour.

Around Mao shi, Liang Jixiong ordered the Canglong Guard to summon all civil and military officials and all members of the clan to the Canglong Hall.

Before Sishi, Emperor Zhaoxing also came.

Come if you don't want to, this is the obligation of every clan member, and the emperor is no exception.

On the altar, Liang Jixiong personally recited the prayer:

"Tunu in the northern border gathered thieves, invaded our Daxuan territory, killed our Daxuan people, Ji Xiong was ordered to punish the thieves, and captured the thieves alive. Nie Gulai, now dedicated to the true god of Canglong, to appease the wrath of the true god, and comfort the people of Li. Ease the worries of the community and spread the prestige of propaganda!"

With just a few words, the blood of the officials was boiling with enthusiasm. The old censor Wang Yanyang shouted: "Elder Shengwei is mighty, I declare my might!"

The ministers were excited and shouted loudly, and Gongsun Wen, who was usually the most excited, became quiet at the moment.

Wang Yanyang also asked a special question: "Gongsun Shilang, our army flag won the victory, but you have a sad face. Could it be that you are dissatisfied?"

Gongsun Wen said in a perfunctory way: "I'm suffering from an old illness, and I'm a little dizzy, and I can't make a sound. I declare that I am blessed by the true god, and it is reasonable to win the first battle today."

Wang Yanyang said with a smile: "The true god is watching from the sky. Gongsun Shilang's old illness came at an inappropriate time. Could it be that he was punished by the true god?"

Gongsun Wen didn't say a word, he couldn't argue with Wang Yanyang at the moment, it wouldn't do him any good if he lost the fight.

Nie Gulai was tied up on the altar and yelled: "Xuan Dog, you are all a bunch of dogs! Wait for my great emperor to conquer this place, and slaughter the whole city, and bury it for me! Xuan Dog, remember..."

puff!
Liang Jixiong beheaded Nie Gulai.

A third-rank person would not die so easily, but Niegulai's cultivation base has been abolished, and he is no different from ordinary people.

Liang Jixiong put the head on the altar. Emperor Zhaoxing thought that the sacrifice was over, and planned to get up and leave without giving Liang Jixiong a chance to pester him.

But the sacrifice was not over, Liang Jixiong still had two sacrifices to offer.

He put the heads of Wu Jingchun and Fan Guodong on the altar.

"Criminal Fan Guodong, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, wanted to use thousands of stones, food and grass to support the enemy, and was named the lord of the two states by Tu Nu. This thief is heinous. Ji Xiong was ordered by the true god to rectify him and dedicate his head to the true god!"

As soon as the words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

Luzhou Tongzhi Fan Guodong actually collaborated with the enemy?

He still wants to give Tu Nu food and grass?

Didn't it mean that Luzhou had no food for a long time?Isn't all the food given to Yongzhou?

He still wants to be Tu Nu's lord?
No wonder there were rumors before that Luzhou wanted to defect to the enemy!

"This dog thief deserves a thousand cuts!"

"Thousands of cuts will cut him into pieces, but it's cheap for him. When he arrives in the underworld, he will never be reborn!"

Wang Yanyang scolded: "It is a disgrace to Daxuan to have this state official, and it is a shame to our generation to have such a colleague!"

The officials cursed loudly, Wang Yanyang looked at Gongsun Wen and said, "This guy is more shameless than you!"

Gongsun Wen gritted his teeth and endured it!
On this occasion, Gongsun Wen never dared to say a word before Emperor Zhaoxing made a statement.

Emperor Zhaoxing's expression was extremely complicated. He should have been the same as the officials, excited for the victory and angry for Fan Guodong's betrayal of the country and seeking glory. Even if he didn't think so in his heart, he could still perform well.

But now there is a nail stuck in his heart, seriously affecting his acting skills.

This nail is not Fan Guodong's various crimes, but Liang Jixiong's excuse to kill Fan Guodong.

He didn't talk about witnesses or physical evidence, he said he was ordered by the true God.

The civil and military ministers present and members of the clan recognized Liang Jixiong's statement very much.

Liang Jixiong blocked Emperor Zhaoxing's mouth.

In the future, Emperor Zhaoxing could not overturn Fan Guodong's case, otherwise it would be tantamount to violating the will of the true god.

When did Liang Jixiong become so treacherous?
Fan Guodong could not overturn the case, and Wu Jingchun's situation was the same.

Liang Jixiong pointed to Wu Jingchun's head and said: "This thief took advantage of the national calamity to sell official rations to fill his own pockets, but he also deceived the king by saying that he sent all the official rations to Yongzhou.
The poor soldiers of Yongzhou, who have run out of food and food, are fighting alone, and they are still defending the dangerous pass with their flesh and blood! "

The ministers fell silent in an instant, and Yan Anqing, the chief assistant of the cabinet, asked, "Elder Shengwei, which dangerous pass are you talking about?"

"It's not one, it's three!" Liang Jixiong said, "From east to west, none of the three dangerous passes of Iron Wolf, Shuangxiong, and Yangjiao has been lost. More than a thousand soldiers in Yongzhou, with scant clothing and food, are still in danger. A bloody battle with Tunu! Swear to the death to defend Daxuan!

Wu Jingchun confuses right and wrong, slandering the soldiers and defecting to the enemy. We listen to one side and believe in another, but our hearts are chilled! "

Speaking of this, Liang Jixiong burst into tears.

This is not from a show, he has held back these two lines of tears for too long!
Many courtiers also shed tears.

Yan Anqing lowered his head and said, "The cabinet is negligent, and we cannot escape the blame!"

"But you shouldn't believe the words of this bastard. How can I have the face to meet the border guards in the future!"

"Confused, confused! I, the emperor and ministers of the Great Xuan, are all confused!" Wang Yanyang said with tears, "When the chariot general returns triumphantly, I would like to apologize face to face, ashamed, really ashamed, Gongsun Shilang, do you know how to write the word ashamed? "

Gongsun Wen turned his head away, he really wanted to slap Wang Yanyang to death.

All the officials felt ashamed, and Emperor Zhaoxing gritted his teeth.

What is this for?
You all admit your mistakes, are you still forcing me to admit my mistakes?
Do you force me to issue an edict to sin against myself?
I will not say anything, and wait until the turmoil subsides, and then I will ask you to settle the matter!
Liang Jixiong had prepared too well, and today was the day to restore the fifth-rank cultivation, so he couldn't confront Liang Jixiong head-on no matter what.

Emperor Zhaoxing can bear it, everything will be discussed after today.

Liang Jixiong saw Emperor Zhaoxing's attitude, since you can bear it, don't blame me for being rude!
"Our army has won the battle today. We should take advantage of the victory to pursue and recover the lost ground. Sui Zhi, Minister of the Ministry of War, you promised His Majesty to gather an army of [-] within ten days. Where is the army now?"

Sui Zhi said with an embarrassed expression: "It's still in preparation."

"But I asked how far you have prepared? If you can't get a hundred thousand troops, you will have thirty to fifty thousand, right?"

Sui Zhi remained silent, and the emotions of the officials were aroused again.

"Sui Shilang, I see that you have been in the capital for the past few days and have not gone out to recruit troops!"

"In the face of national crisis, you are so slack, but you are also worthy of the position of Zuo Shilang?"

"Sui Shilang, tell me the number, how many troops have you recruited? If there is not a single soldier, this move is no different from collaborating with the enemy!"

Sui Zhi indeed recruited a group of soldiers and horses, more than [-] people, but without the order of Emperor Zhaoxing, this matter is not allowed to be disclosed, because the purpose of the [-] troops is still to be determined.

Sui Zhi was under siege, so he could only keep silent. Liang Jixiong shouted sharply: "Sui Shilang, I don't care what method you use. After ten days, you must bring a hundred thousand troops to Yongzhou, otherwise you will be punished for the crime of deceiving the emperor." !"

When the elder spoke, all the officials responded one after another. Liang Jixiong's prestige at the moment made Emperor Zhaoxing very angry.

The matter is not over yet, Liang Jixiong still has one important thing to do.

"Prince Liang Yuyang listens to the order. Now, according to the will of the true god, I order you to join the old man in the northern expedition to boost the morale of the entire army. What do you think?"

The prince quickly responded: "I would like to obey the order of the true god, and I would like to listen to the orders of the elders."

Liang Jixiong looked at Emperor Zhaoxing: "What is Your Majesty's intention?"

What is this for?
Why let the prince participate in the Northern Expedition?
Afraid that the prince will be in danger if he stays in the capital?

Of course not, Liang Jixiong's vision is not so short-sighted.

Emperor Zhaoxing reacted quickly and quickly saw Liang Jixiong's intentions.

Liang Jixiong wanted to lay a foundation for the prince.

As a prince, Liang Yuyang's impression on his courtiers can be summed up in four words, that is, "what is the virtue and what is the ability".

Liang Yuyang is a fool, a lunatic, and a person with an unsound mind. The reason why he can become the prince is entirely because he is the only son of the emperor. He can become the heir apparent because he has no other choice.

But if he participated in the Northern Expedition, it would be quite different.

If under the leadership of the prince, Beizheng wins, no one will be able to easily shake the prince's position in the future.

Liang Jixiong had long thought of taking the prince to war, but he was worried that there was no hope of winning this war, which would make the prince's bad reputation worse.

But now he sees hope, and he doesn't want the prince to miss this opportunity.

For the same reason, the emperor did not want the prince to seize this opportunity, otherwise the prince would become more difficult to control.

But now the ministers were so emotional that Emperor Zhaoxing couldn't refuse.

That's it!

Endure it!

Emperor Zhaoxing nodded and said: "Yuyang, you conquer on my own behalf, drive out the foreign invaders, and restore Daxuan Heshan!"

Amid the admiration of the officials, the prince followed Liang Jixiong to the northern border.

The angry Emperor Zhaoxing returned to the secret pavilion and tore the dream interpretation book on the desk to pieces.

"The harbinger of the nightmare has come, but the dream is not there!"

Emperor Zhaoxing swallowed his anger and prepared to return to the fifth rank.

And when I return to the fifth rank, you wait for traitors and courtiers, and none of you can get away!
