The heavens begin with the Dharma of absorbing power.

Chapter 765 The most classic and famous scene begins
Outside Chang'an Imperial City, many members of the high-ranking imperial officials walked around and held umbrellas behind their respective adults to protect them from the wind and frost. In front of the red wall, many flowers of different colors suddenly bloomed.

The shadow of the umbrella shrouded the adults' cheeks, and it was impossible to see the emotions on their faces or the thoughts in their eyes.

But as Ning Que fought to the death with his stabbing palm, the expressions of these big shots changed. Xu Shi, who originally mocked Ning Que but could do nothing in the face of Tang Lu, was also stunned.

Tang Law never advocated private revenge. The big shots felt that after ordinary people suffered unfair treatment, even if they did not want to swallow their anger, they should go to the Yamen to beat the drum of grievances. Private revenge was a challenge to Tang Law and to big men like them. Challenge, these people never like this behavior.

Big people think like this out of pure interest, because this method is beneficial to them. They have the resources to operate cheaply, and they can take advantage of the loopholes in Tang Law without being punished in the end.

If the common people really go to sound the drum of grievance, they will first be beaten with a killing stick, and then maybe... who in the hall dares to sue me?

Ordinary people who were wronged and suffered may be treated like this, let alone the case of General Xuanwei's family being exterminated, which was an ironclad case.

If Ning Que actually followed the so-called procedure and handed in the complaint, the person might be gone in the next second, without even needing to alert General Xiahou, Prince Li Peiyan, their stewards, military advisors, etc. He would clearly arrange Ning Que's death.

Therefore, the so-called revenge based on Tang law is a very ironic thing.

Therefore, Ning Que chose to bypass Tang Lu's challenge to fight to the death. Tang Law did not support private revenge, but it did not provide for challenges.

Ning Que said: "Since it is the only choice, then it is the best choice."

"Xiahou, I want to challenge you."

Xia Hou silently looked at Ning Que who was not far away. He looked at the white paper that seemed to be held by countless threads and slowly floated over. There was no emotion on his face.

They were shocked, even pale.

A thin piece of paper floated out from Ning Que's sleeve and floated slowly and straightly in front of Xia Hou. No matter how strong the wind was in front of the imperial city and no matter how many leaves fell, it would not do anything to this thin paper. Influence.

Xia Hou said: "For you, challenging me head-on is the worst choice."

"Okay, I agree to your challenge."

In their view, General Xiahou would definitely win today's challenge. However, if Ning Que died, as his master's direct disciple, it would have a terrifying impact on the Tang Dynasty.

Prince Li Peiyan of the Tang Dynasty stared at Ning Que with a pale face and shouted angrily: "Ning Que, are you going to use your life to exchange for the anger of the dean? Is it worth it? And what kind of person is the dean? How can he be treated like this by you? use?"

Ning Que cut his palms in public to challenge, and now the pressure was on Xiahou.

The civil and military officials present had high status and had almost never encountered such a challenge. However, after all, they all lived in Chang'an City. How could they not know the famous rule of thorn-palm fighting to the death.

Ning Que raised his head, the expression on his face was so calm, as if the pain in his palm had no effect on him. He looked at His Highness the Prince and said, "What does this matter have to do with Your Highness? Are you afraid that I will challenge you next?"

He raised his right hand and grabbed the thin paper floating in front of him. It was a challenge document.

"The time and place are decided by you."

Ning Que said: "I never take the ordinary path."

Ning Que's voice rang out in the cold wind, reaching everyone's ears clearly, and then gradually disappeared with the wind.

Xiahou slowly rubbed the thin challenge letter between his fingers, with a strange expression on his face. He looked at him and said, "Your choice is indeed beyond my expectation."

Xia Hou ended the conversation, quickly pulled out his sword, wrapped the challenge and the sword's edge in his palm, and was about to cut his left palm open.

At this moment, busy footsteps sounded at the palace gate of the imperial city. Several high-ranking eunuchs ran towards the door desperately. Their official uniforms were messy and they looked miserable.

They were sweating profusely in the cold wind and snow. They must have run all the way out of the palace. Emperor Li Zhongyi of the Tang Dynasty, a close eunuch, Eunuch Lin, listened to Xia Hou's voice from a distance, with a look of horror on his face, and screamed like a goose being strangled by the throat: "Your Majesty has a decree, no one can touch it without permission." !”

When the dignitaries outside the palace heard this shout, their expressions suddenly relaxed, thinking that only Your Majesty in the world could stop this challenge.

However, Xiahou seemed not to have heard the sharp voice coming from the palace door behind him, nor did he hear His Majesty's will.

With a sneer, he cut a large bloody opening on his left palm with a particularly concise and powerful movement.

There was no expression on Xiahou's face. He slowly clenched his left hand into a fist. Thick blood overflowed from the tiger's mouth and fell to the ground.

Eunuch Lin had never run so fast or so hard in his life. When he ran out of the palace gate out of breath and looked at Xia Hou's bleeding palms, his face suddenly became extremely pale, and his legs went weak and he sat on the ground. And Prince Li Peiyan's face was as pale as ice and snow.

Xu Shi's silver eyebrows were calm and low. He looked at Xia Hou and said expressionlessly: "Cancel."

Xia Hou shook his head and said indifferently: "He can cancel it, but I can't because I have my pride."

"Your Majesty has a decree."

Amidst the falling leaves in the autumn wind, Emperor Li Zhongyi of the Tang Dynasty arrived in person, and the accompanying officials also brought an imperial edict that was still inked.

Academician Zeng Jing received the imperial edict, and everyone in front of the imperial city gathered their breath and thought quietly. The former glanced at Prince Li Peiyan first, sighed softly, and then said in a slightly astringent voice: "Prince Li Peiyan of the Tang Dynasty, due to old events in the first year of Tianqi, he asked to be removed from the royal title."

The whole place was silent. People in front of the imperial city could not suppress the shock in their hearts and looked at His Highness the Prince.

The expression on Li Peiyan's face was unusually indifferent. He silently took off his crown and left it on the ground, looking a bit embarrassed.

The bachelor held the imperial edict in both hands and continued to read with a slightly trembling voice: "The case of former Xuanwei General Lin Guangyuan's conspiracy to treason is now dismissed due to insufficient evidence..."

The names on the imperial edict were announced one after another through the slightly trembling voice of the great scholar, echoing in the autumn wind and hitting the red wall.

"General Xuanwei Lin Guangyuan..."

"Mrs. Lin Guangyuan..."

"Sha Gang, the partial general..."

"Colonel Cheng Xinzheng..."

"Clerk Lin Hai..."

"Official Hu Hua..."

……

Names that had long since disappeared from history appeared one after another, and orders for officials to be restored to their posts and to be commemorated and granted titles made the imperial city completely silent.

Outside Chang'an Imperial City, Xu Xin brought a bunch of beauties. In addition to the Three Idiots in the World and Tang Xiaotang, there were also the female disciples of Mochiyuan and the beautiful dancing sisters he recruited from Red Sleeves. These women have all come today to witness This scene shocked Chang'an.

"The arrogance of big men, why do they always think that this will be the revenge of the general's son."

After hearing the last name, Xu Xin's mouth curled up slightly. He knew that the most classic and famous scene was about to begin.
