One Thought Feixian

Chapter 740
The Hunyuan Tianding is an artifact to suppress the fate of the country, and this jade seal is the symbol of the emperor's country. Whoever masters this jade seal can command the world.

Those who get the jade seal will belong to the destiny and the will of the people.

Throughout the dynasties, for this jade seal, countless bloody fights took place, which cannot be described in words.

This is something that changes destiny and gains power.

Even the humblest beggar, sealed by the jade seal, can gain great authority under one person and over ten thousand people, and decide the life and death of countless people.

Jiang Yi suddenly felt that there was endless divine power coming from the jade seal, noble, supreme, immortal, shocking to the soul, and one couldn't help but want to surrender. In this central hall, there are so many strong people, plus Qing The Great Heavenly Emperor existed, and he dared not use the slightest bit of mental power to investigate, otherwise he would definitely be exposed, and the consequences would be disastrous.

Jiang Yi is not confident enough to think that he can fight out of the palace.

This central hall is extremely spacious and grand, no matter how many people it is, everyone can enter the hall, no matter whether they are calm or trembling, they all walk forward and kowtow on the ground to salute.

"Long live the Holy Spirit, long live, long live!"

The voices came and went, cadenced, and not uniform. After all, there were too many people, and everyone's mood was different.

The sound fell, and the hall fell silent again.

Many people were panicked and put their heads on the ground, not knowing what to do.

At this moment, Jiang Yi felt a gaze fall on him.

As the No. [-] Scholar, Jiang Yi has received a lot of attention since he stepped into the central hall. Those officials all glanced at him.

Because he was not well-known, he was not from a wealthy family, nor was he a student of any major academies, but he suddenly broke out and took away Su Qian's title of No. [-] scholar, so everyone was very curious about what he was capable of.

These officials, as Beijing officials, have high positions and authority, and their official authority is very powerful. They can almost scare people to death. How can ordinary people deal with it?
But Jiang Yi took it easy and took it calmly.

But at this moment, another gaze fell on him, making people tremble and shudder.

This gaze seems to contain a strange divine power, like the eyes of the sky, high above, overlooking all living beings, it can penetrate everything and spy on everything.

"Emperor Qingtian..."

Jiang Yi immediately knew that this gaze belonged to the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, Emperor Qingtian.

Emperor Qingtian set his eyes on him and was looking at him.

He was frightened suddenly, and quickly activated the "Golden Body Art of the Great Sun", hiding the power of thought deeply in the sea of ​​spirit and soul, and at the same time controlled the thousand masks to prevent Emperor Qingtian from seeing any clues.

"Be flat!"

After a while, an incomparably majestic voice resounded in the hall.

Jiang Yi felt relaxed for a while.

Everyone trembled and stood up from the ground, but they still bowed their bodies and lowered their heads, not daring to just wait and see.

Only Jiang Yi, Su Qian, and Hua Zhongxian stood upright with their heads held high, majestic and unyielding.

"In this year's imperial examination, not only splendid articles, poetry and painting articles appeared, but also articles about ghosts and gods appeared, which aroused the resonance of the ancient sages. This is the most dazzling literary event since the founding of the Central Dynasty. Rejoice!"

Emperor Qingtian nodded in satisfaction, and then glanced at Jiang Yi, only to find that Jiang Yi was also looking at him, his eyes were empty, with a sense of integrity, as if he was not afraid of anything.

"The Emperor Qingtian was besieged and killed in Lizhou and suffered huge injuries. Unexpectedly, he has fully recovered after returning to the capital for a few days."

Jiang Yi was secretly shocked in his heart.

This is the second time he has seen Emperor Qingtian, but it is very different from when he was in Lizhou. At this time, Emperor Qingtian is as majestic as the sky, with boundless momentum and unimaginable dignity. This is a figure who rules hundreds of millions of people. , the master of the world, the country and the country, are all under control.

At this time, I heard Emperor Qingtian continue to say: "Your titles on today's gold list have attracted much attention, and they are the pillars of the country. Now that the Central Dynasty is employing people, I will definitely entrust you with important tasks. I hope you will do your best." , don't let me down."

"Thank you, Lord!"

Everyone immediately knelt down again and saluted.

"Li Feng, you are the champion of the new discipline. I am very satisfied with the article you wrote. I can grant you a wish. Whatever you want, just ask."

Emperor Qingtian's eyes fell on Jiang Yi, and he spoke.

Sure enough, as Jiang Yunlan said, as long as the number one scholar wins, he can make a request to Emperor Qingtian.

Swish, swish, swish... In an instant, everyone's gazes turned to Jiang Yi, with envy, jealousy, and resentment.

But Jiang Yi didn't pay attention to these gazes at all, he took a deep breath, a gleam appeared in his eyes, he saluted immediately, and said: "I don't want anything, but I have a doubt in my heart, I hope the Holy One can answer it for me."

"Oh? But it doesn't matter!" Emperor Qingtian's eyes flashed.

"Why did His Majesty want to destroy Dali Kingdom!" Jiang Yi said without hesitation.

Whoa!
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar immediately, and all the officials, civil and military, all changed their faces.

Su Qian and Hua Zhongxian also looked at Jiang Yi with surprise on their faces. They never expected that this person would ask such a question in front of so many people.

This matter, involving Princess Ronghua, has almost become a taboo in the Central Dynasty. No one dares to mention it, and even discuss it in private. If it is spread, it will be a catastrophe.

"Bold Lifeng, you dare to question the Holy One, what is your intention?" An official shouted loudly, with great authority: "Why don't you kneel down quickly and ask the Holy Majesty to pardon your capital crime?"

This official, about 40 years old, standing behind Sangong, seems to be of high status, his voice is very loud, with a sense of uprightness.

This person is none other than Liu Zhengang, the imperial censor of the Overwatch Council, the second-rank official.

The Overwatch Council is the department of the emperor's eyes, eyes and discipline. All of them are censors and officials. Their duties are to picket officials and correct the rules and regulations. Anything wrong can be impeached and criticized.

The big things are debated by the court, and the small things are played, and they go straight to the heavens. He holds huge power and almost holds the lifeblood of all officials in the court.

Even if Emperor Qingtian made a mistake, the Overwatch Council has the power to impeach him.

The biggest official of the Overwatch Council is the "Doctor Yushi", from the first rank, the same rank as the Minister of Rites, Minister of Household, and Minister of Punishment.

And the second person in the Overwatch Council was Yu Shi Zhongcheng.

I don't know how many officials in the imperial court have been impeached and criticized by Liu Zhengang. There are many officials who had a promising future and a bright future, but because of their impeachment, their careers were ruined and their careers terminated. Disaster, was exiled.

This Liu Zhengang is simply the nightmare of all officials. With him around, everyone is afraid and cautious in their words and deeds. Once something falls into his hands, it will be over.

"May I ask your Excellency..." Jiang Yi looked over.

"My official is Yushi Zhongcheng, Liu Zhengang!" Liu Zhengang said with his head raised.

"Censor Zhongcheng? It turned out to be a speech officer." Jiang Yi's heart moved, but he didn't have the slightest fear: "The sage speaks well and speaks well. To meet the next request, I will act according to the order of the sage. Dare to ask Mr. Liu, what can I do?" What is the crime?"

"you……"

Liu Zhengang's complexion changed. He never expected Jiang Yi to be so eloquent, and he refuted him on the spot. While he was shocked, he also felt very embarrassed.

However, as the censor Zhongcheng, he is a dignified speaker, so he is naturally eloquent. What kind of scene has he not seen?He immediately calmed down, and said, "Dali country has perished and ceased to exist. This matter is a taboo, and speaking out is a serious crime. As the champion of the new discipline, the leader of the literary movement, and the example of the world's students, every word and deed You are all seen by others, and you should follow the etiquette and rules. The Holy One is kind and cherishes talents. If you make a wish, it will naturally be fulfilled. , although you are the number one scholar, but you do not have half an official position, what qualifications do you have to speak to me like this, in your eyes, do you still have this kind of high and low?"

In the main hall, some officials looked at Jiang Yi sympathetically, thinking that he was young and vigorous, regardless of the importance, and dared to challenge Liu Zhengang.

Liu Zhengang, as the censor Zhongcheng, represented the Overwatch Council. Even if he was the champion of the new division, hand-picked by the sage, the emperor's kindness was mighty, and he offended the Overwatch Council, even if he passed today, he might not have a good life in the future.

Emperor Qingtian didn't speak, he didn't know what he was thinking.

Sangong was also silent, as if he was going to stand by and watch the two fight.

As for the other princes, they don't know Jiang Yi's ability, let alone offend the Overwatch Council, so they can only wait and see.

Su Qian stared at Jiang Yi, frowning slightly, as if he had great doubts.

On the face of the fairy in the painting, there was a sinister smile.

But Hu Yunsheng was in the crowd, clenched his fists, excited, thinking that Jiang Yi was seeking his own death, and it was completely over now.

Almost no one present was optimistic about Jiang Yi.

How could a young man who was just fledgling and didn't know the depth of officialdom be an opponent of Liu Zhengang, a veteran in the world?
"Amazing, amazing. It really is worthy of being a censor who specializes in impeachment and criticism. I just counterattacked a little bit, but I actually involved so many great principles. The words are sharp, the thinking is quick, and all the weaknesses in my body are grasped. It is no wonder that everyone is afraid of the Censor Yanguan, and I have seen it today."

Jiang Yi exclaimed in his heart, but he is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He tried his best to win the position of champion, just to investigate clearly what happened back then. No one can stop him, not even Yushi Zhongcheng!

"We literati, as long as we have righteousness in our hearts, open-mindedness, and uprightness, there will be no taboos in the world, we can speak up everywhere, and we can say everything to others, not to mention that the Holy Majesty was enthroned as emperor after destroying the Great Li Kingdom. Has it become a taboo? Could it be that you thought that the Holy Majesty had done something wrong and had scruples in your heart, so you dared not speak out? As the censor Zhongcheng, the head of the world's eloquent officials, the picket officer is evil, and the order is upright, if you say anything If you want to be obedient and look forward to the future, how can you supervise the world? Share your worries?"

Jiang Yi hardly thought about it, and launched a rebuttal: "Although I don't have half an official position, I uphold the literary principles, and my articles resonate with the sages, and they appear, so I was appointed by the sage as the champion of the new department, why am I not qualified to talk to you? Could it be that you think the Xiansheng is gone, so you are so presumptuous and don't take the Xiansheng seriously?"

His tone suddenly became agitated, his voice was loud and upright, every word, every sentence was full of reason, every sentence was retorted in one go, without any intention of showing mercy.

He has already heard that his article caused the supernatural powers to appear. As long as he counterattacks around this point, no matter how eloquent Liu Zhengang is, he will remain invincible.

Even Emperor Qingtian had to be cautious when facing the first sage.

"you!"

Sure enough, when Liu Zhengang heard this, his face changed wildly, and he was so reprimanded that he was speechless.

Because Jiang Yi put forward the first sage, no matter what he said, it was wrong, and if the time came to anger the sage, he would definitely not report it.

"My minister is loyal to the imperial court, the world can learn from him, the sun and the moon can shine, and he will never dare to desecrate the majesty of the ancestors, please see clearly!" Liu Zhengang turned around and knelt down, and said loudly.

His kneeling meant that he had conceded defeat in this battle, but this was the most sensible choice, otherwise, he would be in a dilemma, and he would definitely lose face and feel ashamed.

"What a clever boy, although he is a little tricky and doesn't play cards according to common sense, but he is able to refute Liu Zhengang to the point where he has nothing to say, and he has nothing to say. He is proud enough to be forced to this point!" Grand Master Pang Tiandu With a heart move, he looked at Jiang Yi with eyes full of approval.

He has read the articles written by Jiang Yi countless times, and the theories and schools of thought in them are the same as his. He also has no objection.

In this imperial examination, Jiang Yi's performance was indeed excellent and impeccable. The essay resonated with the sage's Dharma, and it manifested, far surpassing Su Qian's splendid essay.

The No. [-] Scholar and No. [-], well deserved!
"As expected of being the number one scholar, he has such eloquence!" Many officials felt turbulent waves in their hearts, and looked at Jiang Yi with incredible eyes.

No one thought that Jiang Yi would win.

In an instant, everyone had a deep understanding of this new champion.

The eyes of those princes flickered, as if they had discovered the talent, they began to calculate in their hearts.

"Liu Qing's family is the humerus ministers of the imperial court. I naturally believe in your loyalty, please hurry up." At this time, Emperor Qingtian finally spoke.
