Daxia Wensheng

The son was asked to beheaded seven days later.

in Kyoto.

The news spread quickly, and it spread throughout the four counties around Kyoto in less than half a day.

In the middle of the night.

The people of Jiangling County also got the news.

No one would have thought that Gu Jinnian, who was dedicated to serving the people, would be executed.

This is incredible.

Especially the people of Bailu Mansion, they knew that Gu Jinnian had sacrificed too much for the people, and they also knew that Gu Jinnian would definitely be punished when he returned this time.

But there was nothing they could do, the only thing they could do was to tell what Gu Jinnian had done.

I hope more people will know what Gu Jinnian has done.

It's just that I didn't expect this punishment to be so severe, to be executed after seven days?

It's been one night now, that is to say, ask to be killed in six days?

This is something that the people cannot agree to.

If it was just one or two severe punishments, they would remember their kindness, but when they heard about the punishment, their hearts would be filled with guilt.

That night.

In Bailu Mansion, some figures shuttled through the streets.

A group of four, all of them are old people in the Bailu mansion, with some reputation, some hold paper and pens, some prepare some things, and they knock on doors from door to door.

After the door opened, the old man's voice sounded directly.

"Yongshu, do you know about Shizi?"

"We are going to write a book of ten thousand people for the son, and ask the emperor to show mercy and forgive the son."

"Do you write or not?"

The old man opened his mouth and asked about the family.

"Write."

"Definitely write, but uncle, is this book of ten thousand people useful?"

The latter did not hesitate at all, but was also curious as to whether the Book of Manmin would be useful.

"What the people want is bound to be useful."

"Okay, write your name on it, I have to go to the next house, if you are going to visit relatives recently, remember to spread the story of Shizi, we can do our best, we can do our best, and we can help a little Busy, just help a little."

The old man made a sound and gave a warning.

"Okay, uncle."

The man nodded, and then an old man brought over a bag of millet as a gift from Wan Min Chu.

But when he saw Xiaomi, the man stopped him immediately.

"Uncle, what are you doing? There is no shortage of this rice in my family. This name is written on it sincerely. You gave me this rice, as if I was for this little thing."

"It's getting late, it's freezing cold, Uncle, you guys go back to rest, and give me your things. I'll call the third and fourth to come out and let us young people do it."

"His Royal Highness's kindness, we all remember it in our hearts. To put it bluntly, he will avenge our people. If we don't help, our conscience will be eaten by dogs."

The man rejected Xiaomi and said something from the bottom of his heart.

As soon as this remark came out, several old men nodded, feeling a little relieved.

But he still refused the man's request to help.

"Go to bed early, leave this matter to us old men, we have a bit of face, it's noisy in the middle of the night, look at our old men, they won't say anything."

"Go, let's go, let's go to Lao Ren's house."

The old man made a sound, and took a few people to the next house.

Seeing this scene, the man didn't make any fuss, just followed behind without doing anything, just helping these old people to avoid accidents.

And such things happened in many places in the Bailu Mansion. These were spontaneous petitions, wanting to write a book of ten thousand people for Gu Jinnian, begging His Majesty for mercy.

It can be said that the entire Bailu Mansion was brightly lit, and many people were called upon to petition.

More than that.

The next day.

Before dawn, a large number of people walked out of the city gate. They were returning to their hometown to spread the news about Gu Jinnian, and they also brought the book of thousands of people, hoping to use the power of the entire Jiangling County to intercede for Gu Jinnian.

The carriages were ready one by one. These were water transport carriages. They were originally used to transport grain, but I heard that the common people asked Gu Jinnian for the Ten Thousand People's Register. The leader of the water transport waved his hand and exempted all fees.

Can help a little is a little.

Can do a little bit.

Like a spark, it gradually started to start a prairie fire.

Not just in Gangneung County.

After hearing about this incident, some surrounding counties also began to take action.

Although not as intense as Jiangling County, it still has some effect, especially for scholars.

Gu Jinnian's deeds deeply admired the older generation of scholars, and some masters and old Confucians, after hearing about this matter, joined forces to play.

It is hope that His Majesty can change his mind.

And this day.

A big event also caused a sensation in the whole of Kyoto.

Eight kings enter Beijing.

Yes, the eight princes of the Great Xia Dynasty came to Beijing, and these eight princes all supported Emperor Yongsheng's rebellion at that time.

Now that Jiande is sad, they have also been rewarded accordingly, sitting in one side, they can be regarded as local emperors everywhere.

It is not a trivial matter for the Eight Kings to enter the capital, and the Eight Kings' visit this time has shown their attitude.

He must personally supervise and kill Gu Jinnian.

They were also very straightforward, admiring Gu Jinnian's actions and wholeheartedly serving the people, they recognized it, but they couldn't accept and were unwilling to accept Gu Jinnian's violation of the national law.

So you have to supervise and kill yourself.

He said a lot of good things, but in fact he wanted Gu Jinnian to die.

Everyone understands this point.

If Emperor Yongsheng hadn't promulgated the imperial decree, I'm afraid that the eight kings would have already entered the palace to face the saint.

Right now, the Ministry of Rites arranges to place the Eight Kings in the side hall of the imperial palace.

But everyone knew that in a few days, at the court meeting, the Eight Kings would definitely make a move.

Completely crush Gu Jinnian to death.

And this moment.

Great Xia Dynasty.

the Kongs.

The holy land of the Confucian family covers an area of ​​more than 3000 mu, with lofts everywhere, mountains and rocks, and boating in the lake, which looks extremely magnificent.

This is the Confucian family, which contains holy meaning.

Originally, the Confucian Academy was only [-] mu, but with the efforts of generations, it gradually grew to [-] mu.

And this is only the Confucian Family Holy Academy. In the Qu Mansion, there are the Confucian Family Holy Mausoleum, the Confucian Academy, and the Confucian Temple.

The land occupied by these three places is no worse than the Confucian Academy.

Moreover, almost half of the people in Qu Mansion were surnamed Kong, but the class division was very strict. These were forced to change their names and became slaves of the Kong family.

Since the sage attained enlightenment, Kong Jiaxing has indeed produced three or four generations of great scholars.

Inheriting the knowledge of the sages, spreading branches and leaves, worrying about the world, there is no lack of proud people among them, and they will not bend their waists for five buckets of rice.

But with the advent of the prosperous age and the great changes in the world, talents from all walks of life appeared in the world one after another. Although the descendants of the Kong family inherited the holy way, they never produced a second saint, and were instead made holy by others.

Therefore, the Kong family began to change.

One is that they are worried about the changes in the status of the Kong family, and the other is that they don't want anyone to surpass the name of a saint.

Therefore, the method of polarization is adopted to carry out the stabilization method for thousands of years.

Advocating holy learning and attracting talented people. Anyone who learns the way of Confucius can be a guest of honor. Those who are talented can get funding from the Confucius family and make great progress in the future.

If you don't respect the holy learning and dare to establish new scholars, you will be beaten at the least, or isolated at the worst. Moreover, the Confucian family's methods are extremely good. As long as there is any sign, they will send great Confucianists to suppress it, and they will never despise it.

The descendants of the Kong family have done a good job in this regard.

In fact, it was okay at the beginning, and more talents were attracted, and it was precisely because of this healthy competition.

As a result, more than 30 generations later, the disciples of the Confucian family are all over the world, and there are shadows of the Confucian family in every country. They have sponsored and helped too many scholars.

Thanks to the kindness from generation to generation, coupled with such a good name, and because of the first saint, the Confucian family has gradually become a Confucian and Taoist overlord.

It is said that a thousand-year-old family is too big to fail.

The Kong family is no longer as simple as a millennium. In the entire Shenzhou world, the Kong family is spread all over the world, even though it is orthodox in the Great Xia Dynasty.

But since the founding of the country by Taizu, the Kong family has sent some orthodoxy to other countries and established some quasi-orthodoxy.

If the Confucian family is really destroyed, these orthodoxy will inherit the position of the Daxia Confucian family, named orthodox.

If it is destroyed again, it will inherit the orthodox position again, and it will go on and on, endlessly.

It is also this trick that makes the kings of all countries fear the Kong family and dare not offend them.

The enemy that cannot be destroyed is the most terrifying.

At this moment.

In the back garden of the Kong family, an old man quietly looked at the lake.

Behind him, stood the grandson of the Kong family, Kong Yu.

"teacher."

"This time the capital has changed, can Gu Jinnian escape this punishment?"

Kong Yu spoke.

Since returning to the Kong family, Kong Yu has been restless, thinking about Gu Jinnian day and night, he hates Gu Jinnian to death.

I am a great grandson, and I have never encountered such humiliation, but Gu Jinnian stepped on him, making himself a joke of the world.

Although the influence has been greatly reduced through the methods of the Kong family, Kong Yu will never forget this matter.

Knowing what Gu Jinnian did in Bailu Mansion today, Kong Yu felt even more disgusted, but he was more concerned about whether Gu Jinnian would be given death.

So I came here to ask my teacher.

"Although it is for the people, it can mess up the foundation of the country."

"The court will not tolerate it."

"Eight kings are not allowed."

"Everyone in the world will not tolerate it, Gu Jinnian will definitely die."

"If you don't die, Daxia will surely perish."

The old man standing in front of him spoke slowly.

Then he continued to speak.

"This Gu Jinnian is smart. He thinks he is avenging the people, and he wants to use the power of the people to avoid the death penalty."

"But his mistake was that he was too high-profile, and his mistake was that he offended the Kong family. If he hadn't offended the Kong family, with the help of the people, it is indeed possible to avoid the death penalty."

"If you offend the Kong family, how can you exonerate him?"

"Kong Yu, your worst enemy, will basically not pose any threat to you."

"The news has already been conveyed within the clan to let Confucian scholars of Daxia criticize this matter, so that the people can understand Gu Jinnian's sinister intentions."

"What is avenging the people's grievances is nothing more than wanting to touch the hearts of the people."

"It's ridiculous, and people like him can get their hands on the hearts of the people?"

The old man spoke, his words were full of hostility towards Gu Jinnian.

This is also normal, his most proud disciple was publicly humiliated by Gu Jinnian, and Gu Jinnian said a lot of disrespectful words, such remarks made him feel extremely harsh.

Also felt extremely glaring.

When Kong Yu heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"What the teacher said is very true."

He was very happy, but the fly in the ointment was that Gu Jinnian did not die in his hands, or in other words, he did not lose in his hands before he died, which became the biggest regret.

"You don't need to be so happy. A mere Gu Jinnian is nothing."

"The two things right now are your top priority."

The old man continued to speak, somewhat dissatisfied with Kong Yu's performance.

"Please teach me, teacher."

Upon hearing this, Kong Yu immediately became respectful, not daring to show his excitement.

"My Confucian family's sacred banquet is about to begin. King Yu specially built a loft. At that time, I will write an article for this tower. During this period of time, you should think about it carefully, strive to meet the situation, and realize the meaning of township."

"If this is the case, it can be regarded as a happy event."

"But it's not a big deal. The Holy Court will open soon. You must win the first place this time. Your father is already somewhat dissatisfied with you. If you can take the first place in the Holy Court this time, everything will be fine."

"If you can't, get ready for the title of Holy Grandson."

When the other party spoke, Kong Yu's face turned pale after what he said.

What he is most proud of is the word "Sage and Grandson".

If his title was taken away, he would not be able to accept it.

"Teacher, students must do their best."

Kong Yu quickly opened his mouth to express his feelings.

"You are only half a step away from the Great Confucianism. If you go to the Holy Academy, if you can take the first place, you can be a Great Confucianism."

"The word "saint and grandson" is enough."

"Okay, go back and concentrate on studying. You don't need to get involved in the outside affairs."

"It is also possible that Gu Jinnian will not die. After all, the Zhen Guo Guild has exhausted all means, but if Gu Jin Nian does not die, the Zhen Guo Gong will have to pay a huge price."

"For my Kong family, it is a good thing. As long as Zhen Guogong goes to the border, our Kong family will counterattack next."

"Many things will be resolved within the clan, and you don't need to worry about them. If you are not calm, nothing big will happen."

The other party spoke again.

It can be regarded as a supplement to what was said before.

Gu Jinnian may not necessarily die.

But not dying will be more uncomfortable than dying.

Because the Gu family has to pay a huge price.

"Student understands, thank you teacher for answering."

Kong Yu nodded, then turned and left.

After Kong Yu left.

The old man still looked at the pool quietly, looking very calm.

After about a quarter of an hour.

A figure slowly sounded.

It's Kong Ping.

"Meet sir."

Obviously, the identity of this old man is not simple, he is the real senior member of the Kong family.

From the perspective of outsiders, the most powerful member of the Confucian family is Chuan Shenggong.

But in fact, it is said that Shenggong only holds part of the right to speak. It is not so much the head of the Kong family, but rather the existence with the greatest personal power.

The real power is concentrated in the Academy of Saints of the Confucian family, composed of 72 elders of the Confucian family.

These 72 elders are called sages in the clan, just like the 72 disciples of Confucius.

The big and small matters in the clan are all decided by these 72 elders, which is equivalent to one-third of the decision-making ability of Chuan Shenggong.

The Academy of Saints has two-thirds of the decision-making power.

If the Academy of Saints agrees to do something that is unacceptable, Chuan Shenggong can't do it, but generally such things rarely happen.

Basically, what the Holy Duke said is what he said. Firstly, it is a status issue, and secondly, it is also an internal issue. There are two major factions, one is the Confucianism school and the other is the Saint school.

Confucianism advocates ideological education, recruiting talents, and developing the power of Confucianism through the spiritual level.

The Sheng faction advocates the control of interests, and obtains the interests of the Confucian family through the interests of all parties.

There is some hostility between the two, but what I have to say is that ideological education is obviously weaker than profit control. After all, people are impetuous, especially in prosperous times. The world loves vanity and enjoys happiness. Few people are willing to listen carefully to the principles of saints.

Therefore, the holy sect occupies the main power, and the Confucian sect is gradually withering. If it is not for the fundamental problem, I am afraid that there will be no Confucian sect left.

And this one is one of the 72 sages and a member of the Saint sect.

The Kong family is no longer as simple as a small aristocratic family. The forces in it are intricate and complex, and it is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface.

"How is Kong Zhen's matter handled?"

The old man spoke and stood with his hands behind his back.

"Mr. Hui, Kong Zhen has been arranged to leave the country, and he should arrive at Fuluo Dynasty in three days."

Kong Ping opened his mouth and replied like this.

"kindness."

"As for the Bailu mansion, his appearance will bring trouble to the Kong family, so let him go to the Fuluo Dynasty."

"Go back and tell the Hun King that the Great Xia Dynasty has discovered that the Kong family will not continue to participate in this matter, and let the Hun King solve it by himself."

"The Xiongnu, Fuluo, and the Great Jin Dynasty, as well as some Daxia people, are just short of the last step. The problem will not be too big. It is nothing more than a cost issue."

"This matter, the Kong family will stop here, no one is allowed to get involved in it, and all evidence will be destroyed. If it is discovered, it will cause great trouble."

"Understand?"

The old man continued to speak, telling about the Bailu mansion.

The Kong family did participate.

"Yes."

Kong Ping nodded and replied like this.

Then continue to speak.

"By the way, sir, the feast is about to begin."

"The four major chambers of commerce donated 300 million taels of gold, asking for a seat at the Holy Banquet, what do you want, sir?"

Kong Ping continued to talk about this matter.

"It's just 300 million taels of gold, and you want to participate in the Holy Banquet?"

"What qualifications do these businessmen have to join the club?"

The latter is very disdainful.

Although he advocates interests, he still has deep contempt for businessmen.

The latter nodded and said nothing.

"500 million taels, give them seats at the banquet, but only their descendants are allowed to attend the banquet, and those who have fame and fame are not allowed to attend the banquet."

"The rest of the chambers of commerce should also inform one or two. It doesn't matter if people don't come. For those who don't prepare generous gifts, write them down one by one. If they give generous gifts, let them have a banquet outside the residence, just vacate a table."

He spoke, looking very calm.

"Yes."

Kong Ping nodded.

In this way, Kong Ping left, and the old man also left slowly.

In the blink of an eye.

Two days passed.

There are still four days before Gu Jinnian's execution.

And in these two days, many things happened in the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

The matter of Gu Jinnian's beheading became the biggest topic among all the people of the Great Xia Dynasty.

The common people supported Gu Jinnian.

Especially in the first two days, both the common people and scholars from all over the world believed that Gu Jinnian was innocent.

But on this day, some different voices gradually sounded.

"The state has state laws, and the family has family rules. Although Gu Jinnian has defended the people and upheld justice, if he is not killed, the state laws will not tolerate him. In the future, officials from all over the country will follow suit, and Daxia will surely perish."

"I respect His Royal Highness for the heart of the people, but I also respect the strictness of the laws of Great Xia. From ancient to modern times, the country of chaotic laws will eventually be reduced to ruins. Killing Gu Jinnian is to protect the foundation of the country."

"Everyone, please don't write the joint roster. His Royal Highness already has the heart to die. He doesn't want to embarrass His Majesty, and he doesn't want Daxia to mess up the law. He wants to sacrifice his life for righteousness."

"If you write a joint roster, you will actually harm His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness, who has made immortal achievements. If you are beheaded this time, you will be a virtuous person. A hundred years after your death, you can be a quasi-sage."

"Yes, this is a great honor. You don't need to do this. If you let the son know, you will be blamed instead."

inexplicably between.

This sound sounded very strange.

Because there is nothing wrong with these words, but after careful consideration, I feel a little weird.

But I have to say that the effect of this kind of speech is indeed useful, and some prefectures are indeed preparing a joint roster for Gu Jinnian.

It's just that after the appearance of this kind of remarks, many people did stop.

Because it feels right.

This is the power of words, the essence of this voice is nothing more than wanting Gu Jinnian to die.

But they were very smart, they didn't insult Gu Jinnian, nor did they refute Gu Jinnian's achievements, but praised Gu Jinnian's benevolence and righteousness, asked Gu Jinnian to sacrifice his life for righteousness, and praised Gu Jinnian's greatness.

Anyway, if you are dead, so what if I give you a good name?If you like it, I'll give you some more.

Such people are the worst.

On the surface it is for your own good, but in fact it is harming you.

And this kind of voice gradually spread to the capital, affecting the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

Compared to before, when everyone was complaining about Gu Jinnian, it was much quieter now.

And Daxia Kyoto.

Inside the palace.

In the main hall, the controversy was extremely loud.

The reason is that Yang Kai, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, brought a book of ten thousand people to petition for Gu Jinnian.

Under the Wanmin Register, the Hundred Officials were indeed shocked. They said it was the Wanmin Register, but in fact there were hundreds of joint registers, at least tens of 10 people petitioned for Gu Jinnian.

This is no small matter.

As an official, it is awe-inspiring to be able to do this.

In fact, some officials really wanted to offend Gu Jinnian. After all, Gu Jinnian was so talented that he would be the pillar of Da Xia in the future.

It's His Majesty's nephew, and the grandson of Lord Zhen Guo, if he really asks about beheading, there's no need to make such a fuss.

But before Baiguan could speak, a voice sounded.

"Qizou Your Majesty, the eight kings enter the palace, and enter the palace to face the saint."

With this voice sounded.

The hall was instantly quiet.

"allow."

Emperor Yongsheng spoke.

The next moment, eight figures appeared.

These are eight vassal kings, each of whom holds great power and is the top dignitary of the Great Xia Dynasty.

The Eight Kings appeared.

For a moment, the aura suppressed everyone in the hall.

They stared at each other with contemptuous eyes, and when they walked, they were even more majestic.

Of course, after stepping into the main hall, several people immediately bowed to Emperor Yongsheng.

"The minister waited to see His Majesty."

Eight people spoke, and their voices resounded through the hall.

"Exemption."

Emperor Yongsheng got up slowly and called the eight people to get up.

"Come on, give me a seat."

He continued to speak and asked for a seat.

Soon the eunuch moved the stool and let the eight princes sit down, followed by a voice.

It was Chen Wang's voice.

"Just now outside the palace, this king heard that someone is going to offend Gu Jinnian."

"May I ask who it is?"

When King Chen entered the hall, before he calmed down the situation, he spoke directly, making the hall instantly extremely quiet.

"My lord, it was the old man who spoke. Here is the joint roster of the common people. The old man believes that although Gu Jinnian made the mistake of transgressing the laws of the country, in the end he still wholeheartedly serves the people. He can be severely punished, but he doesn't need to be punished."

"It's what the people want."

Yang Kai, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, said that he helped Gu Jinnian not because of any profit, but according to the situation.

But as soon as this remark came out, Chen Wang couldn't help sneering.

"ridiculous."

"Transgressing the laws of the country, can you still be exonerated?"

"Does that mean that in the future, if officials come to this king, they will dispatch 30 troops to encircle a certain county and a certain mansion, and they can kill whoever they want, will this king agree?"

"This Gu Jinnian is indeed dedicated to serving the people, and this king also admires it, but the state owns the state law. As a member of the imperial court, don't you know that the state law cannot be violated?"

"What Gu Jinnian does today, tomorrow there will be Xu Jinnian, Zhou Jinnian, and Wang Jinnian doing this."

Chen Wang spoke out directly, scolding Yang Kai angrily.

There is nothing wrong with these words.

It made Yang Kai a little silent.

"Lord Yang, this king also admires Gu Jinnian, but the national law is the national law, and I think His Majesty thinks so."

"It's like this king has to report to the Ministry of Rites when he enters Beijing. If it is possible to go beyond the national law, does this mean that no matter where I go in the future, I don't need to notify the Ministry of Rites?"

Another prince spoke, it was King Lu.

The eight kings are the king of Shu, the king of Wu, the king of Tang, the king of Chen, the king of Lu, the king of Chu, the king of Nanping, and the king of Qi.

It is based on the division of the territories of the ten countries before Daxia.

As for the king of Zhou, he does not belong to the category of eight kings. The king of Zhou is the first-class king, the highest king, followed by King Qilin, the only king with a different surname in Great Xia.

The ten princes are in control of the military power and have a certain right to speak. Together, they are an immortal force that cannot be ignored.

As for the prince who has no military power, there are more or less two or thirty people stationed in various places to enjoy the bliss of the world.

Fortunately, at the beginning of the founding of the country, although there were a lot of powerful and powerful people, at least the land was small, and it had not yet reached the saturation stage. It could provide these princes with food and drink. If it takes another three or four hundred years, it will be hard to say.

And these ten princes do not lack a good relationship with Emperor Yongsheng, but coming together today is not against Emperor Yongsheng.

This time I came here to abide by the laws of the country and measure this matter from the perspective of the country, so I came together hand in hand.

King Lu's words made all the officials frown.

Obviously this is a red-fruited threat.

But they couldn't pick any thorns.

If Gu Jinnian is really innocent.

Will they be able to do the same in the future?

After all, as long as the crime does not lead to death, the cost of rebellion can be greatly reduced.

Isn't the biggest trouble in rebellion the whole family copying and beheading, implicating the entire family?

If they can not die, then these vassal kings cannot be careless.

Of course, it is impossible to say that if there is no crime here, they will directly start rebelling, and they will not even think about rebelling.

After all, I can't be the emperor. Now I have food and drink, military power and status, so why rebel?
But I can't stand people with ulterior motives sowing discord.

"My lord is serious."

In the end, Yang Kai could only take a deep breath and choose to retreat.

"There's nothing serious about it."

"His Majesty."

"I'm not aiming at Gu Jinnian, I also know that Gu Jinnian is very talented and a great talent in the world."

"But to violate the laws of the country is to violate the law. He privately dispatched 20 troops. It is not unbearable, but the 20 troops were commanded by him, and he ordered them to block Jiangling County."

"Kill whoever you say you want to kill. Is there still an imperial court in this eye? Do you still have your majesty in this eye?"

"He has no law, and the crime should be punished."

"Forget it, King Qilin's hundred thousand cavalry are almost about to be killed by him. This is the most intolerable thing for me."

"Just because of my own selfish desires, just because of a moment of anger, I almost made a big mistake. If King Qi Lin hadn't swallowed his anger and backed down again and again, I'm afraid the [-] troops would have already been punished."

"If you don't deal with Gu Jinnian today, Your Majesty, there will be no Daxia kingdom, and the ministers will not accept it."

"Today, please give me an answer from Your Majesty."

In the end, King Chu's voice sounded, he attacked Gu Jinnian, and wanted Gu Jinnian to die.

No way of life was given.

And inside and outside the words, the attitude is firm.

Don't kill Gu Jinnian.

It's hard to appease the anger.

While speaking, the Eight Kings Qiqi stood up, looked at Emperor Yongsheng, and asked him to give an answer.

Listen to the voice of the Eight Kings.

Emperor Yongsheng's face was calm, and after a little silence, he spoke slowly.

"I have no intention of changing the case of Gu Jinnian."

Emperor Yongsheng spoke, and this was his answer.

But the Eight Kings did not agree, but looked at Emperor Yongsheng and said.

"Your Majesty, please swear in the name of Taizu."

Obviously, no one believed the emperor's words. If the dust never fell to the ground, the emperor could always change it.

"presumptuous."

At this moment, Emperor Yongsheng stood up and looked directly at the Eight Kings with anger in his eyes.

Let him swear in the name of Taizu?This is really giving them a lot of courage, it's fine to force the palace, really don't give them any face?

"Your Majesty, rest your anger."

"The ministers are only for the foundation of the Great Xia country. If His Majesty does not agree, the ministers will not leave."

However, the Eight Kings are not false.

For a moment, the hall seemed extremely quiet.

"My lord, there is no need for this."

Someone opened his mouth and wanted to smooth things over, but all he got was a cold voice.

"Is it your turn to speak?"

When the voice sounded, all officials frowned.

Especially those who wanted to smooth things over, shut their mouths and bowed their heads in silence.

"I said so."

"Seven days of questioning and beheading will not change the will."

"If you want to stay here, then stay here and retreat."

Emperor Yongsheng took a deep breath, and after saying this, he turned and left, but his heart was full of anger.

Everyone in the world knows that Gu Jinnian is his nephew, and they also know that Gu Jinnian has an amazing talent. How can he kill such a great talent?

But the Eight Kings took this opportunity to come to force the palace, which is to sing against him.

Suddenly, an idea came to his mind.

But he knew it wasn't enough yet.

Seeing Emperor Yongsheng like this, the Eight Kings didn't say much, although they didn't force Emperor Yongsheng to swear success.

But they also achieved their purpose.

And at the same time.

Daxia Kyoto.

Su Huaiyu seemed a little silent.

Because he met someone.

an old man.

With just one glance, Su Huaiyu knew that the opponent was very strong.

So he didn't choose to move around, and followed the other party away honestly.

among the streets.

In a deserted alley.

Su Huaiyu looked respectful and bowed to the old man.

"Senior, if you need help from this junior, please feel free to speak up."

Su Huaiyu was very honest, without any bluntness or resistance.

"You're not bad, you're the most honest person I've ever met."

The old man opened his mouth. He was skinny and white-haired, but he was not eye-catching. Walking in the crowd, he was easily ignored.

"Senior is overrated."

Su Huaiyu is serious.

"The old man wants you to do something."

The old man opened his mouth and wanted to ask one thing.

"Senior, don't worry, there must be no one. This junior used to belong to the Ministry of Punishment. The strongest in the Ministry of Punishment is only at the Zhunwu King level. Senior can completely kill people, it doesn't matter."

But before the old man finished speaking, Su Huaiyu spoke directly to reassure the other party.

However, the latter shook his head.

"So what if there is a peerless powerhouse?"

"The old man can kill with one hand."

"The old man asked you to draw a map of Daxia's capital. In a few days, I will rob the court and save my apprentice."

"It's best to have a map, it can save you a little trouble."

The old man was very indifferent, and he didn't care about the peerless master of Daxia.

Hearing this, Su Huaiyu showed such an expression, he guessed who the old man was.

The peerless powerhouse of magic.

"Senior is really brave."

"The junior prepare immediately."

Su Huaiyu didn't talk too much, and he didn't ask for details, anyway, I would do whatever I was asked to do.

Not at all ambiguous.

"Okay, this matter is done, the old man will give you benefits."

The latter nodded, and at the same time was a little surprised by Su Huaiyu's performance.

Just...very cooperative.

"Do not."

"It's the greatest benefit for seniors not to kill juniors."

"The younger generation is not a greedy person, so accept it when you see it, thank you senior."

Su Huaiyu quickly shook his head, he was just right, not daring to go too far.

"I didn't expect that there would be two smart people in the small capital of Great Xia."

"Unfortunately, you are not a fairy root, otherwise, the old man is willing to accept you as a disciple."

The old man was a little amazed, this Su Huaiyu really fit his temper.

Hearing this, Su Huaiyu sneered, and then couldn't help asking.

"Senior, have you killed all the strong men of both immortals and demons?"

Su Huaiyu asked curiously.

"not yet."

"Isn't this old husband and his apprentice about to be beheaded?"

"I can only come here and take him away first, and then send him to the Ancient Forest Demon Temple to experience some experience. I will just kill all the strong men of the Immortal and Demon Dao."

"There are a few that are more difficult, and half of their feet have stepped into the seventh realm. Fortunately, the old man is one step faster than them. Otherwise, it may not be possible to kill them all."

The other party spoke, unintentionally revealing a shocking news.

Stepping into the seventh realm?
Su Huaiyu's eyes showed shock.

You know, Lord Zhen Guo is only a strong man in the fifth realm, and this person in front of him has already entered the seventh realm?
Of course, the other party didn't tell the whole story, after all, it was just a step faster, and it might be the quasi-seventh realm.

But whatever.

It is peerless.

"Senior is really good, so the junior is going to draw the map now, but how will the junior give it to you?"

Su Huaiyu asked.

"I'll find you."

"Give it to me before asking to beheaded."

The old man opened his mouth, and after saying this, he disappeared in place.

And Su Huaiyu also let out a long breath.

so close.

But after heaving a sigh of relief, Su Huaiyu didn't talk nonsense, and immediately went to draw a map.

It's not because of saving Gu Jinnian, but because this strong man in the way of magic has a weird personality. If he kills himself if he delays time and is in a bad mood, it will be bad luck.

Looking back, Gu Jinnian didn't die, and Su Huaiyu didn't want to lose himself.

in this way.

late at night.

Su Huaiyu finished drawing the map. In order to add details, Su Huaiyu even went to see it in person to make sure there was no problem, and then quietly waited for the senior to come to the door.

The disturbance from the outside world seemed extremely noisy.

And in prison.

However, Gu Jinnian had already entered a place of ecstasy.

Four days.

He was calm and enlightened in prison.

I still ate something in the first two days, but in the next two days, I didn’t drink a drop of water. It’s not because I’m concentrating on schooling, but because the secret soy sauce is gone, and the rice porridge is a little hard to swallow.

A little regretful, but it can make me feel at ease and enlighten myself.

In the past few days, Gu Jinnian's mind is full of memories of the past.

He is reflecting and thinking.

Reflect on your mistakes.

Think about your own shortcomings.

Jiangning County, Huns and relatives, Jiangling County.

In these three things, the biggest fault lies in my lack of experience. Although I am a powerful person in the Great Xia, although I can be willful, many people are responsible for their own willfulness.

"I'm too indecisive and still not cautious enough,"

"Brother Wang's disappearance must have been noticed by someone, but I went to the Bailu Mansion without hesitation, and I cast myself into a trap."

"The woman begged me for mercy. I was indecisive, and I didn't do the crucial thing at the critical moment. If I go back to that day, I should kill Xu Ping directly, and then transfer troops. It should be the best."

"I was entangled in the details. At the critical moment, I didn't come forward. Although I made up for it, mistakes are mistakes."

"If this catastrophe passes, I should kill decisively, not stick to small details, and everything should be comprehensive, so that there is no leakage."

Gu Jinnian murmured to himself.

He seriously reflected on himself.

The fault lies in indecision and carelessness in doing things, which is a mistake he is aware of.

The downside is power.

"Your Majesty is also good."

"It doesn't matter if you are rich or powerful."

"After all, there is no official position, no power, and under the guise of the imperial decree, although you can tell a temporary lie, it will bring trouble to the country and the court."

"If I have an official position and come to the Bailu mansion again, even if I make things difficult, I will still have enough power to speak. At that time, I will kill when I have to, and no one can stop me."

"Dignity is only on the edge of a knife."

"Without an official position, it is difficult to move an inch."

This is Gu Jinnian's shortcoming.

I don't have an official position, so naturally, I fell into a passive position from the beginning, deployed troops privately, and turned into an active one, but at that time, I was already making amends.

Therefore, I must quickly become an official in the court and gain power, so that I will not fall into a disadvantage when encountering this kind of thing in the future.

After reflection and thinking.

Gu Jinnian then thought about another thing.

This incident seemed to be concealed by the officials, and it seemed that someone was playing tricks behind the scenes, but there was a force that disappeared without a trace.

This force is Confucianism.

Scholars should have justice.

Even if there is no official position, they should be able to see the suffering of the people, but no one gives a helping hand.

There is no other reason.

They don't want to offend officials, so as not to affect their official career.

For ordinary people, this is understandable.

But for readers, this is wrong.

Mencius said, I am good at cultivating righteousness.

This awe-inspiring righteousness is a kind of righteousness between heaven and earth.

How can a scholar be called a scholar if he has no noble spirit?

If, two years ago, some scholars had stepped forward, would the matter be so serious?
The answer is obviously no.

Bailu Mansion is just a small mansion, but this matter can also see the essence of Confucianism in the world.

After the incident happened, what's the use of scholars insulting him again?

How can you be called a scholar if you don't uphold your heart?
Open mouth common people.

Shut up people.

Where does it end?

It's not even hypocritical.

Gu Jinnian thought about this for a long time.

until the seventh day.

this day.

It was the day Gu Jinnian asked to be executed.

When the prison boss came, he was also surprised. They thought that there would be a decree in the process to release Gu Jinnian.

But I didn't expect that until this moment, there was no will.

The Ministry of Criminal Justice has sent people over to escort Gu Jinnian to the execution ground.

However, even so, the cell boss did not neglect him at all, and politely invited Gu Jinnian out.

Gu Jinnian was very generous.

Without the slightest fear, he walked out of the prison with the prison boss.

But in his heart, Gu Jinnian has been thinking about this matter.

Step out of the prison.

At a glance, there are many people seeing off, and many people have other thoughts.

The prison van is not far away.

The people in the Ministry of Punishment are also extremely respectful and dare not neglect at all.

In the distance, Wang Fugui and the others had tears in their eyes. They did not expect that the matter would be so serious.

In the past seven days, the people wrote the joint list, but the eight kings opposed it.

In the past seven days, how many forces have participated in this matter, and their purpose is to save Gu Jinnian.

But in the end, there was no response from the court.

The Ministry of Punishment did not make any corrections.

All of a sudden, they finally panicked and finally got scared.

From the very beginning, he thought that Gu Jinnian would be safe and sound.

Today, everyone panicked.

There are three more hours.

Gu Jinnian was about to be executed.

Three hours, I'm afraid it's too late.

Fairy Yunrou and Fairy Yaochi stood not far away. They both looked calm, but they also had other thoughts in their hearts.

If the most critical step is reached and they are still unable to recover, they will rob the execution ground.

To be precise, it is the people behind them who will come to forcibly rob the execution ground.

But right now.

A voice suddenly sounded.

"Look, that's Mr. Wei Xian."

"There is a decree, there is a decree."

"The decree has come."

One sound after another sounded, and in an instant, the people of Kyoto couldn't help but look away.

indeed.

Not far away, Wei Xian ran non-stop, holding an imperial decree tightly in his hand.

At this moment, all the people laughed.

He thought this must be the imperial decree to pardon Gu Jinnian.

But when Wei Xian appeared and read out the imperial decree, the common people fell silent again.

"Your Majesty has a purpose."

"Gu Jinnian saved the people from the fire and water. This is the credit of heaven, but because of the chaos of the country's laws, the laws are not merciful, so they insist on beheading."

"But because of Gu Jinnian's contribution, I would like to build a literary palace, build a meritorious body, and erect a sacred monument for him."

"Gu Jinnian wrote the inscription on the stele, and it will be admired by all people in the world."

His voice sounded.

Keep countless people silent.

Then, full of disappointment.

I thought it was an imperial edict of pardon, but I didn't expect it to be such an imperial edict.

And through the imperial decree, it can be learned that Gu Jinnian is really going to be executed.

They are all ready to build palaces and erect stone monuments.

Isn't this inevitable?

Soon, the stele was brought over.

The inscription on Gu Jinnian's stele is for future generations to look up to.

Of course, there is no need to directly engrave the words on the stele, Wei Xian has already prepared the paper, pen and ink, and after writing, a craftsman will engrave it on it.

At the same time, Wei Xian's voice reached Gu Jinnian's ears.

"His Royal Highness."

"This is your last chance."

"Your Majesty asked the slave to tell you."

"I have already made a perfect plan to keep my son safe."

He voiced.

Inform Gu Jinnian of the specific situation.

Hear this.

Gu Jinnian felt nothing in his heart.

There is no joy.

No joy either.

Instead, he looked at the stele and remained silent.

Everyone was watching, and they were also very curious as to what Gu Jinnian was going to do.

About half an hour later.

Suddenly.

Gu Jinnian condensed his talents and used his talent to turn his pen into an inscription on the stone tablet.

Write down the feelings of these few days one by one.

[Yu prisoner sits in the north court in an earthen room]

[The room is eight feet wide, and the depth is four search]

The words appeared, attracting countless people to wait and see.

This article does not seem to have any particularity. In terms of literary talent, ordinary Confucians can write it.

If you talk about emotions, it is nothing more than writing about the situation in the past few days.

But everyone still stared straight at it.

Because they know.

What Gu Jinnian wrote did not disappoint.

In the palace, Emperor Yongsheng also seemed extremely nervous. Although he had made a perfect plan, he still hoped that Gu Jinnian could rescue him by himself.

Otherwise, there will be new troubles.

Outside the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Finished writing three or four hundred words eloquently.

But there is no influence, no vision, and no light, which makes people feel more and more heavy.

But right now.

Gu Jinnian slowly wrote out the last paragraph of the opening chapter.

[Kuang Haoran is the righteousness of the heaven and the earth, and write a song of righteousness]

Finish with the opening and the last paragraph.

Gu Jinnian closed his eyes.

He took a deep breath.

All kinds of encounters in the past, plus all the feelings of enlightenment in prison, also broke out at this moment.

Jiangning County is also good.

The Huns are also good.

No matter Bailu Mansion.

There may be natural disasters, but more are man-made disasters.

Behind the people, not only the court, but also some people with lofty ideals.

There should be more real scholars.

Today, he wants to reshape the character of a scholar.

"I am Gu Jinnian."

"Today, make a righteous song."

"Be righteous for Confucianism and Taoism."

In an instant.

Gu Jinnian's voice sounded.

resounds throughout Kyoto.

Soon, a line of writing appeared on the stone tablet.

[Heaven and earth have righteousness, mixed with manifolds]

Text appears.

In an instant.

The world has changed.

Night came, as if eternal night had come.

And this time.

It is no longer affecting a Kyoto.

But the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

Especially Qufu.

The peaceful Qufu Confucian family.

at this moment.

Start shaking violently.

Some Confucian scholars were astonished, and then a cry of exclamation exploded.

"The statue of Confucius shook."

"Someone wrote the Immortal Chapter."

sounded.

There was an uproar.
