Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 769
At this moment, Zichen Palace in the imperial city.

The court meeting was not over, but was waiting for the news of Li Xiuyuan's execution.

The entire hall was eerily quiet.

All the civil and military officials stood there motionless like wooden statues, with numb expressions, except Mr. Yang, who was a little anxious, with cold sweat constantly on his face.

The national teacher squinted his eyes and stood aside, also very determined and confident, as if everything was in his chest.

Suddenly.

A forbidden soldier rushed over from outside the main hall in a hurry, he knelt on one knee and said: "Report, Your Majesty, Li Xiuyuan, the criminal official in Ruyifang, resisted the order and disrespected. Hu led the forbidden army to arrest, the two sides are now at war, and each other has suffered casualties."

"What?" Master Yang opened his eyes wide, looking shocked.

Why does Li Xiuyuan disrespect the order? Doesn't he know that his rebellion is likely to harm his family and his clan?
Since ancient times, kings have given death to their ministers like this. The crime of death will be eliminated, and the family will have no worries. Once they resist, they will wipe out the nine clans.

This is what the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die.

"Wait, something is wrong. Then Li Xiuyuan wants to rebel?" Suddenly, Master Yang came to his senses, and his back felt cold for a moment.

The king is weak, the subject is strong,
Li Xiuyuan has nearly [-] elite soldiers in Yangzhou, what will the court use to destroy other people's nine clans?
Once Li Xiuyuan escaped from the capital and rebelled, the whole world would be destroyed.
"This national teacher made a bad move. The Great Song Dynasty is about to end." Master Yang sighed in his heart. If his eyes could kill, he would have killed that national teacher thousands of times by now.

The demon monk misled the country, and the demon monk misled the country.

It's just that he didn't know that the national teacher didn't care about the fate of the country at all. As a practitioner, what he cared about was always whether he could gain the Tao.

So killing Li Xiuyuan seems to be a stupid thing, but in fact it is a huge achievement brought about by his long-planned plan for so many years, and it is a good thing worth celebrating.

But at this moment, Du Ze, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, immediately said decisively: "Li Xiuyuan is disrespectful for resisting the order, and refuses to be punished. I'm afraid that he has the opposite intention. I suggest that Li Xiuyuan be executed immediately."

"Quasi-playing." Zhao Guanjia pondered for a moment and said immediately.

Li Xiuyuan committed a rebellion, even though he knew there was something tricky about it, he still had to kill it.

"Fu Tianchou, the servant of the Ministry of War, is Li Xiuyuan's father-in-law. Li Xiuyuan has developed and grown in Yangzhou. Fu Tianchou is suspected of covering up and conniving. Now that Li Xiuyuan has committed rebellion, it is an unforgivable crime. I suggest that Fu Tianchou should be dismissed from office and placed outside the imperial city. stick to death, in order to deter Li Xiuyuan's disobedience, and his second daughter also
Those who are guilty of serving thieves should also be executed together to demonstrate the majesty of His Majesty and the law of the court. "

"This, this." Zhao Guanjia frowned, hesitating.

Then Li Xiuyuan can be killed, but Fu Tianchou is really reluctant to kill him. This is one of the few solitary ministers above the imperial court. If he is killed, the court will be out of balance. The hair is also because he wants to strengthen the power of Fu Tianchou's faction, so as to compete with other factions.

"Your Majesty, please play." Without waiting for Zhao officials to think, all the civil and military officials in the court stood up and shouted.

"Your Majesty, please play."

"Your Majesty please play"

All the officials spoke in unison, the voices became louder and louder, which made people's eardrums hurt, but what was frightening was that the expressions, postures, and tones of these civil and military officials were all exactly the same, like a well-trained army that ordered and prohibited.

Zhao Guan's family couldn't help but panic when they saw this scene, what, when did the court become like this?

He looked at the national teacher at the side, with the intention of asking for help.

The benevolent national teacher squinted his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, please play."

Zhao Guanjia's eyes were wide open, and he felt instantly shrouded in fear, and his whole body felt as if he had fallen into cold water, cooling his entire body.

"All right, all right."

In the end, he could only tremblingly agree to Du Ze's proposal.

"Your Majesty has a decree to dismiss Fu Tianchou from office and die with a stick outside the imperial city," the national teacher said slowly with his eyes narrowed, and then he clasped his hands together and said, "Your Majesty wants to kill Li Xiuyuan, why don't I follow the orders?" Go ahead, sharing worries for His Majesty has always been my duty, please allow Your Majesty."

"Yes, yes." Zhao Guanjia said in a panic.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The national teacher clasped his hands together, calm and at ease like an old monk. He squinted his eyes and looked outside the capital city, and already felt a bloody aura rushing towards the imperial city.

If the predictions are correct, that Li Xiuyuan should have dealt with the imperial guards outside Ruyifang, and now he is probably heading towards the imperial city.

Is it to kill himself and save his father-in-law and his wife?
"If I can't kill him under the imperial decree, under the circumstances of suppressing the saint's luck with the luck of the country, then it can only be that my practice is not enough, the luck is not enough, even if I fail, there is nothing to complain about. If this matter can be achieved. I will definitely be able to achieve the Buddha Lord Great Sun Tathagata." The national teacher's heart
Zhong secretly said, the state of mind that had been calm for many years also had ripples at this moment.

This is a catastrophe for the common people.

Whoever can become enlightened depends on this battle.

"Huang Shilang, it's time for you five immortals to act." The national teacher walked down the golden hall and said, looking at Huang Shilang in the household department.

He has long seen that this Huang Shilang is a weasel who has attained the Tao for a thousand years. He has cultivated into a demon fairy and has been in the court for many years.

But who would have thought that Huang Shilang is one of the five immortals of the Wutong Sect.

"I hope you won't let us down." Huang Shilang twitched his mouth.

"The general situation is up to me, why worry about this matter?" The national teacher said with a smile: "Are you afraid? Didn't you find that the four gods of thunder patrolling the sky today have disappeared? This is Li Xiuyuan's disobedience to God's will. Even Lei Shen from the Ministry of Thunder is unwilling to help him anymore."

"You are wrong. Although Li Xiuyuan has the ability to command ghosts and gods, he is also a mortal. He is not acting as a saint now, but as a mortal. Naturally, Thunder God will not be involved in this human disaster. At this moment It should be concealed." Huang Shilang said.

"This is the benefit of acting under the guise of a person." The national teacher said.

They all have legitimate identities in the world, one is a national teacher, the other is a servant, they are all high-ranking and powerful people, and the god of thunder in the sky can't treat them as ordinary evil spirits.

Huang Shilang didn't speak, and ignored the high-ranking Zhao Guanjia, he cupped his fists and gave a salute, then turned around and left immediately.

"Then everyone, let's take action." Seeing this, the national teacher turned around and said.

"Yes. Patriarch." All civil and military officials said in unison with respectful expressions.

outside Ruyi Square
Transferring Yan Chixia, Xia Houwu, Mao Wu and five hundred cavalry to the third prince Zhao Jing, plus General Yacha and more than 1000 imperial troops, it can be said that more than 2000 horses are already a very powerful force.

Obviously Li Xiuyuan bet heavily on him.

At this moment, the fighting in Ruyifang subsided, and then the troops were divided into two groups. The third prince led Xu Bao, Mao Wu and others to bypass the main gate of the imperial city, bypassed the side road, and quickly disappeared on the street.

Along the way, Li Xiuyuan led [-] riders along the official road leading directly to the imperial city.

With iron hoofs on the ground, fine cavalry strikes.

Li Xiuyuan led the army in front, heading towards the imperial city without any haste.

"Mr. Li, you have removed several masters. Doing so has greatly weakened your own power. I have checked before, and there is a monster aura entrenched, which is extraordinary." At this time, a young man in a blue shirt, riding a horse Come, said with a dignified face.

"It's the second brother. Of course I know there are dangers ahead. If the national teacher wants to punish me, he can only do it on this road." Li Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, pointing to the straight and spacious official road ahead.

"Once I break into the imperial city, he will lose."

Hu Lanyu said: "If this is the case, you should concentrate your strength. I think it is a taboo to divide the troops into two groups."

"No, second brother, you are wrong. The national teacher wants to kill me, so why don't I want to kill him? I let the third prince detour into the imperial city to cut off his back, so that he has no way to retreat." Li Xiu Yuan said: "In case he sees the situation is not good and hides in the palace."

"Although I am in a dangerous situation now, he also put himself in a dangerous situation when he murdered me. The centipede doesn't understand the reason why the praying mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind, but this time there will be Brother Lao this time." Now, this should be the last battle. Once this is over, I think all the ghosts and gods in the world
It's time to settle down. "

After speaking, he rode on the dragon horse and led the iron cavalry to move on.

Hu Lanyu rode up and followed without hesitation.
