Marquis of Shang

Chapter 249
Afterwards, Ji Chang closed his eyes and continued to control the Eight Diagrams Mirror that exudes the aura of masculinity.

Continue to evolve with innate and acquired gossip.

The continuous search has been caught by myself, and I have caught a little bit of the root of the clues.

……

Time flies.

Three years passed in a flash.

Xuanxiang Yudian, the first month, Maoshi.

Inside the Xuanxiang Royal Palace, the once-a-ten-day court meeting began.

The faint brilliance of the mysterious image circulated in all directions, manifesting the power of the forbidden law.

Chen Qingxiang, who was completely unaffected, sat on the throne of Xuanxiang, and the two guards on the left and right stood quietly beside him.

Looking at the civil and military officials participating in the court meeting under the throne, in the Xuanxiang Royal Palace, Chen Qingxiang held his hands a little bored, and began to listen to the officials and ministers as usual, telling Fang Guo all kinds of things, big and small. .

In a blink of an eye, two hours passed.

Just when Chen Qingxiang thought that nothing would happen today and he could leave the court.

Xuan Xiangchun, Chief Zong Bo, stood up from his seat, took a step forward, saluted, took out a jade slip, and said:
"Your Majesty, I have Chun Guan, who is in charge of etiquette, reported to the east of Xuanxiang Valley, 30 miles away, with the surname of Yu, the Lu clan, a contemporary sergeant-bureaucrat, three months ago, he sacrificed with the ceremony of five tripods!"

"Your Majesty, please make a decision!"

But Chen Qingxiang, who was a little bored, dared to become interested after hearing Uncle Da Zong's words.

Not to mention that I have been on the throne for three years, even in the hundreds of years of Xuanxiang's career as the crown prince, I have never heard of it, let alone met it.

How dare this branch of the Lu family, as a sergeant-bureaucrat, use the ceremony of the five tripods when offering sacrifices?

Is it a mistake in the investigation or is this sergeant-bureaucrat lost his temper and lost his mind?

Chen Qingxiang was shocked immediately, and made a slight wink.

Immediately, an attendant beside him trotted down silently from the side, and took the jade slip from Uncle Da Zong's hand.

Then trot and hand it to Chen Qingxiang.

After receiving the jade slips and slightly perceiving the text and pictures recorded inside, Chen Qingxiang said calmly:
"Uncle Da Zong, wait a moment."

After saying this sentence, Chen Qingxiang concentrated his attention slightly, and his mind was far away, and his mind descended 30 miles away through the number of qi, and the branch of the Lu family whose surname was surnamed Lu was entrusted by sergeant officials.

A pair of pan-gold double pupils, reverse time and space, and explore the past of this sergeant-bureaucrat fiefdom.

After a short while, Chen Qingxiang understood the whole story. It turned out that this Lu clan, a contemporary sergeant-bureaucrat, was about to end his 500-year lifespan.

However, none of the successors had achieved the Totem Origin Realm.

The Luck of the Scholar-bureaucrat, which can assist in breaking through the Totem Origin Realm, has been used 300 years ago, and it is still some years before the next Luck of the Scholar-bureaucrat takes shape.

So it may be a mistake, wanting to make the luck of the scholar-officials take shape in advance, and risk using the ritual of the five tripods to sacrifice.

It's a pity that although it was successful and made the luck of the scholar-officials come into being, it was also perceived by Fang Guochun's line of officials and ritual utensils.

After knowing that there was no wrongdoing, Chen Qingxiang said:
"Uncle Da Zong, according to the law of etiquette, this violates the ritual of the nine tripods. As a scholar-bureaucrat, he used the sacrifice of the five tripods offside. How should he be punished?"

Hearing Chen Qingxiang's inquiry, Uncle Xuanxiang said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, if you go against the Nine Tripods Great Ceremony and use the Five Tripods to offer sacrifices, you should depose the scholar-bureaucrats from their position and exterminate their sacrifices. The entire branch clan should be deposed as slaves and imprinted with the brand of red slaves."

Hearing the words of Uncle Xuanxiang Dazong, Chen Qingxiang remained silent for a few breaths, did not ask too much, and did not open his mouth to mitigate the punishment as the owner of Xuanxiang Society.

This kind of thing that violates the etiquette of the Nine Cauldrons, in this mythical world, to a small extent, there is a heart of disobedience.

And on a bigger scale, it is to steal Fang Guoguo's luck to enrich himself.

Why using the five tripods to sacrifice can make the luck of the scholar-officials take shape in advance.

It is equivalent to defrauding Fang Guo's national destiny and holding sacrifices in the identity of the Qing Dafu's clan.

The lack of it was made up by Fang Guo Guoyun.

Just like when Chen Qingxiang sacrificed to the Nine Cauldrons in the Xuanxiang Great World, he secretly stole some of the auras of the human race to which the great merchants belonged.

It was only because of the many barriers and the concealment of the mystical aura that no one discovered it.

Although the sergeant-bureaucrats on this road stole very little national fortune, it may take a few days, or even a few hours, to recover.

But it is necessary to guard against micro-du society. In order to avoid imitating the example, it is better to behave according to the etiquette.

So Chen Qingxiang just nodded calmly, and said to Uncle Da Zong:
"Then do it according to the etiquette!"

As he said that, Chen Qingxiang looked at Xuanxiang Yudian, and the middle-aged man in the front row said to him:
"Great Sikou, tomorrow we will send three law soldiers, carrying the decree, together with the spring official who reported, to the fiefdom of the scholar-bureaucrat in the middle of the road, depose him from his family, and exterminate him from sacrifice."

"promise!"

Hearing Chen Qingxiang's words, the Qiuguan Chief Sikou, who looked like a middle-aged man in Xuanxiang's fancy dress, stood up and saluted Chen Qingxiang.

……

After Chen Qingxiang finished handling this matter.

Situ, the magistrate of Fang Kingdom, also stood up, and after saluting, he took out a jade slip and said:
"Your Majesty, to the north of Xuanxiang Valley, 20 million miles away, the Minglian Inner Lake directly under the Fang Kingdom, three days ago, there was a dragon in the divine realm, and the water covered tens of thousands of miles, submerged in the Minglian Inner Lake. There are a thousand miles of large islands, twelve middle islands of five hundred miles, and countless other small islands."

"A total of 340 Chinese families, tens of thousands of people's families, and hundreds of thousands of slaves were exterminated."

Hearing the report from the magistrate Situ, Chen Qingxiang was a little puzzled. Uncle Da Zong's report of violating the Nine Tripods Great Ritual was still a serious matter involving Fang Guosheji.

Now, since this Flood Dragon in the Divine Realm has made a mistake, he can just be punished, why should he report it at the court meeting.

However, Chen Qingxiang's thoughts changed, so he asked:
"Big Situ, but what's the problem?"

Hearing Chen Qingxiang's inquiry, Xuanxiang's chief magistrate, Situ, responded solemnly:

"Your Majesty, this divine dragon is one of the five immortal alien races in Fang Kingdom, the nine sons of the White Dragon King."

Hearing Da Situ's words, Chen Qingxiang also knew why it was discussed at the court meeting. It involved the Immortal Sacred Realm, and only he, the owner of the Xuanxiang Society, could make a decision.

Chen Qingxiang nodded, turned his face straight, and said to him:
"Big Situ, how to deal with it, you will deal with it."

"I promise, that immortal old dragon will not cover up and hinder you."

Hearing Chen Qingxiang's assurance, Xuanxiang Da Situ respectfully responded:

"promise!"

……

After making a decision, Chen Qingxiang looked at the officials and ministers in the Imperial Palace.

I found that there were no officials to report, and I knew that the court meeting was over.

So he yawned like a common man, stretched his waist, stood up from the Xuanxiang Throne, and said leisurely:
"Since there is nothing wrong, let's end this court meeting!"

Immediately, under Xuanxiang's throne, all the officials and ministers saluted Chen Qingxiang and sent Chen Qingxiang away respectfully.

After Chen Qingxiang left the Xuanxiang Royal Palace with the support of the two guards on the left and the right and the attendants.

Those officials and ministers who saluted and sent Chen Qingxiang off slowly stood up.

Then they began to leave the Xuanxiang Royal Palace in an orderly manner according to their respective statuses and official positions.

After the Xuanxiang Imperial Palace was empty, there began to be a burst of mysterious yellow light circulating throughout the entire Xuanxiang Imperial Palace, sealing it off.
