I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 561: What I say represents God’s will!

"Besides, haven't you heard of the saying that a gentleman will be killed in five lifetimes?"

When Jiajing said these words, Lu Fang, who was waiting on the side, his pupils suddenly shrank, and a look of horror flashed across his face.

Because he clearly remembered that Jiajing said these words in front of him not long ago.

Many ministers in the audience fell into chaos because of Jiajing's words. At this moment, their faces were full of disbelief.

They did not expect that the emperor would evaluate the Confucian family in Qufu so directly and unabashedly. In doing so, there was no doubt that the last fig leaf of the Confucian family was torn off.

Some officials were unwilling to accept it, so they recalled what Jiajing had just said over and over again in their minds, trying to find loopholes in it to refute Jiajing's statement.

But what is disappointing is that when they continued to think along this line of thinking, they were surprised to find: "It seems that things are really as the emperor said. When China fell in the past, the Kong family in Qufu seemed to be really... Nothing was done!"

While the courtiers were discussing this matter, Yan Song saw that the scene was getting more noisy and had to stand up to maintain order. He cleared his throat and said in a deep voice.

"Quiet!"

As soon as the words fell, the scene quickly became quiet, and the old man whose beard and hair were all white and who had righteously warned Jiajing not to depose Yan Shenggong did not look good at this moment.

Because he could not find any flaws in the emperor's words. After all, these things had happened before.

Immediately, after thinking about it for a long time, he turned his attention to Jiajing and explained bravely.

"Shenggong Yan has an extremely high status in the hearts of scholars all over the world. Your Majesty, you can't just give up!"

"Confucius once said that you should do something when you know it cannot be done. Even if I risk my life today, I will never let you watch your majesty make an irreparable mistake!"

When Jiajing heard this, he was immediately furious. He immediately stood up from the dragon chair, stretched out his finger, pointed at the old man with all white beard and hair, and reprimanded him.

"Humph, I am the emperor, I am the son of heaven, and what I say represents the will of God!"

When Jiajing's words fell, perhaps in response to Jiajing's words, the originally clear sky suddenly gathered a large number of dark clouds. In an instant, thunder rolled from the sky, and several silvery-white thunder struck down from the sky, knocking out nearby people. The big stone in the open space was smashed into pieces!
Immediately afterwards, a heart-stopping coercion spread out. Many ministers present felt their breathing stagnate, and their bodies seemed to be filled with lead, becoming extremely heavy.

There were even some officials who were not determined and fell straight to the ground under the influence of this coercion.

At this moment, the five cabinet members standing at the front of the team looked at the sudden change in the weather, their expressions suddenly changed. At this moment, they couldn't help but recall in their minds the last time Jiajing was angry.

Immediately, five people were seen trembling and kneeling on the ground, begging Jiajing.

"Please calm down, Your Majesty!"

Seeing this situation, many of the remaining officials on the scene also knelt on the ground one after another and tremblingly begged Jiajing.

"Please calm down, Your Majesty!"

At this moment, Jiajing, who was in a rage, turned a deaf ear to this. Immediately, he sneered, turned his gaze to the old man with white beard and hair, and was shaking all over, and spoke word by word.

"Humph, you really are a rotten scholar. Knowing that you can't do something but doing it means that you don't ask whether it is possible when doing something, but ask whether it should be done!"

Hearing Jiajing's words, the old man with white beard and hair suddenly felt as if he was struck by lightning, with an incredible look on his face.

Immediately, Jiajing took in the panic look on the old man's face and continued.

"There is a saying that is very good, it is said that if virtue is not worthy of the position, there will be disaster. I want to ask, with the virtue of the current Yan Shenggong, can he be worthy of such a respected position?"

"Or do you want to tell me that I have no power to deal with the crimes committed by the Kong family?"

Hearing Jiajing's heart-wrenching words, the old man's face became even more panicked. Then, out of anger, he spit out a large mouthful of blood, and his breath soon became weak.After that, the old man was seen struggling to get up from the ground, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand, and then looked at Jiajing and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen speaks from the bottom of his heart. It seems that Wei Chen has no choice but to die to clarify his ambition!"

After the old man with all white beard and hair finished speaking, he hit the pillar not far away with all his strength.

Immediately, there was only a muffled sound of 'dong', and the old man fell straight to the ground like a bird with broken wings. Blood gurgled from his forehead and gradually began to flow near the old man's fallen body. Gathered into a pool of blood.

"Ah, save someone!"

Seeing this situation, the surrounding officials didn't care about anything else and hurriedly stepped forward to check on the old man's condition.

When an official used his trembling hands to test the old man's breath, he suddenly retracted his hand as if he was electrocuted, and immediately lost his voice.

"Ah, dead!"

After that, the guards on the side also stepped forward to check the old man's situation. After carefully checking the old man's situation, they also shook their heads.

From the beginning to the end, the expression on Jiajing's face has not changed much. At this moment, he is watching all this quietly with an indifferent expression.

Soon after, the sky, which had been filled with clouds and thunderous thunder, returned to its previous cloudless appearance.

"Hey, it's sunny. Look, it's sunny!"

"It's really sunny. Could it be that the reason why the weather changed earlier was because God was angry?"

"This is clearly God's approval of His Majesty's decision to abolish Duke Yan, and that's why the thunder came down!"

After all, judging from the Confucian theory of telepathy between heaven and man, what Jiajing just said was undoubtedly recognized by God. Otherwise, God would not have rained down thunder!
Thinking of this, many officials present looked at Jiajing with eyes full of reverence and fear.

The old man's body was also carried away by the guards who followed him, leaving only a pool of dark red blood.

When the officials who were nearby saw this, they subconsciously moved to the side.

After that, Jiajing was seen holding his hands behind his back, looking down at the many officials who were kneeling on the ground tremblingly, and asked in a deep voice.

"Does anyone else want to be like him?"

After Jiajing's words fell, the five people in the cabinet looked at each other, then slowly stood up from the ground, held up the wat tablet in their hands, and said in unison.

"Your Majesty, please abolish the current Duke Yansheng, and let the imperial court elect a new Duke Yansheng on another day!"

Immediately, many remaining ministers also requested Jiajing.

"Your Majesty, please abolish the contemporary Yan Shenggong!"

When Jiajing heard this, he nodded imperceptibly, and immediately glanced at the many ministers present.

However, wherever Jiajing looked, no one dared to meet his gaze, and they all lowered their heads with respectful expressions on their faces.

Immediately, Jiajing said loudly after pondering for a moment.

"In this case, I declare that from now on, the fourth generation grandson of Confucius, No. 60, Kong Shangxian, the contemporary Yanshenggong, will be abolished. The court will elect a new Yanshenggong at a later date!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"
