Main text Chapter 666: Qiu enters the grassland and the Hu horse collapses [End of third update]
After Li Kun's words came out, the civil servants and generals in the palace recovered from their shock and listened attentively. Many of the older ones with poor ears even stretched their necks.
After seeing the reactions of the ministers, Chen San calmed down a lot. When he just got the news, he was also shocked. Chen San was not familiar with the names of Rouluo Guoshi and Zhiwu Venerable, but the name of Zuoxian King could be said to be... Like thunder, for officials working in the Ministry of War, this is a name that cannot be avoided.
Every time, when this name appears, it will always bring huge losses, whether it is human lives, materials, or money. His military skills cannot be said to be unpredictable, but because the military strategists help each other in an orderly manner, they are also very powerful, not ordinary warfare. His formation is comparable to that of a generation of famous generals in the history books. Over time, the officials of the Ministry of War have changed their minds.
This time, when they saw the message and saw that it had the name of King Zuo Xian on it and that it was an urgent message, Shen San and others thought that King Zuo Xian was coming with his troops to kill. But when they took a closer look, they were surprised to find that, What was written above was that King Zuo Xian was killed, and the person who killed him was Qiu Yan, who was the top scholar in the imperial examination six months ago and was compiled by the Hanlin Academy!
The number one scholar is determined by writing, not by martial arts. Hanlin editors are real civil servants who rely on pens. Such a civil servant with pens killed a famous Hu general who was unrivaled in the border areas. Well, for such a thing, no matter who it is, as long as they know the identity of the two people, they will inevitably be shocked, and they will also doubt whether the news is true or false.
However, Da Rui has a rule. Whenever there is an urgent message from the beacon fire, the emperor and the political affairs hall must be notified immediately.
Coincidentally, it was the morning of the morning dynasty, and both the minister and the minister went to court. Only with these two official positions can they meet the emperor and the governors of the Political Affairs Hall in the shortest time. The remaining officials may have the authority, but where can they meet the emperor and the governors of the Political Affairs Hall in such a short time?
Fear and doubt. Everyone realized that if the news was not passed on, it would be a violation of the law, but if it was passed on, they would have no choice but to go to court. If the news was later proven to be false. The fate of the person who passed it on can be imagined.
This is also the reason why Chen San was so trembling after going to the temple. Anyone who has such worries and worries about the consequences will inevitably find it hard to control his mind and show timidity.
Take a look now. From the emperor to the ministers, even the majestic chief ministers, after hearing the news, they all looked shocked, just like themselves and others, not to mention the Minister of the Ministry of War, who looked dumbfounded. Chen San felt relieved, and what he said became clearer and clearer——
"Reporting to your majesty, the news said that Qiu Yan, our new top scholar in Da Rui and a Hanlin editor, single-handedly killed King Rouluo Zuoxian on the grassland, and..."
However, this time I haven't finished speaking yet. It was interrupted midway.
"No, there must be something wrong with this!" The one who spoke was clearly Zhang Lian, one of the prime ministers. The old minister stretched his neck and stared. Staring at Shen San, there was a haze in his eyes that was difficult for others to see, making the latter feel like he was being coerced, and his aura couldn't help but weaken a bit.
"Your Majesty!" Zhang Lian withdrew his gaze and cupped his hands towards Li Kun, "This matter must have been spread incorrectly. King Zuo Xian of Rouluo is very skillful in his military tactics. I have been fighting with him for many years in several towns in northern Dali. How could he be killed by Yi Xiuzhan without taking advantage?"
Li Kun seemed a little dazed at this time. After listening to Zhang Lian's words, he felt that there must be a mistake. He couldn't help but asked Chen San: "Shen Qing, that King Zuo Xian refers to the man who led the troops a few days ago." The Zuoxian King who broke into the Three Jin Dynasties and kidnapped hundreds of people? "
As soon as he said this, there was an uproar in the palace, and some ministers heard the news for the first time.
"Your Majesty..." Wang Fu and Ma Yang's expressions changed slightly, and they couldn't help but remind Li Kun not to tell these secret military information to avoid spreading the news. After all, these two people didn't really believe that Qiu Yan killed Zuo Xian. of news.
They naturally knew what Qiu Yan was capable of, but no matter how high they thought, they would never think that Qiu Yan could defeat King Hu who had been wreaking havoc for several years and the great monk who had been in power for hundreds of years as soon as he entered the grassland. Catch and kill them.
After being reminded by Li Kun, Li Kun realized that he had made a mistake, but it was hard to take back the water he had thrown out. He could only play it down deliberately and wait for Shen San's reply.
Chen San said: "It should be King Zuo Xian of the Hu people. Since it is just an urgent letter and has not been confirmed, I dare not make a final conclusion."
"You just said that this news came from the Rear Army Governor's Mansion?" Li Kun's brows furrowed more and more tightly. His heart was in confusion. He had a glimmer of hope, but he was worried about gains and losses. He couldn't sit back on the throne.
Zhang Lian said again: "Your Majesty, I don't think this matter is credible. Even if it is a letter from the Governor's Mansion, it cannot be accurate. King Zuo Xian of the Hu people always acts in groups. I have seen the file and it is specially marked on it. , there are four generals around this person, each with extraordinary cultivation. He usually leads troops and rarely goes alone. Even if he uses extraordinary weapons, these four generals will inevitably accompany him. Even Qiu Xiuzan also has kung fu. I am here, but if I want to kill King Zuo Xian, I must first get rid of these four generals..."
Having said this, he shook his head, the expression on his face clearly showing his thoughts.
Nowadays, the news about Qiu Yan's cultivation is no longer a secret. The ministers and officials present, as long as they know something about Qiu Yan, all know about it. Even the emperor does not pursue it, and others can't say anything. On the other hand, the news about Qiu Yan's thoughts on order has also spread, which has a great impact on the scholars.
However, his thoughts were connected to the order of the military strategists, which would undoubtedly make the civil officials of Confucian origin feel resentful.
Confucianism has always emphasized respecting ghosts and gods but keeping a distance from them. Qiu Yan himself practiced life cultivation, which was contrary to this spirit. Over time, he would inevitably be isolated by the Confucian community. This was also Li Kun's plan. The Supreme Emperor wanted Qiu Yan to be a lone minister, without support, so that he could guarantee his loyalty. The various ideas in this were complicated and varied, but the essence remained the same.
In this way, there would be civil officials who would instinctively want to resist Qiu Yan's meritorious service. In their opinion, Qiu Yan's best choice was to stay away from the court and become a military master among the people, leaving behind some works. This was also the news that Qiu Yan had created a military classic, which shocked them. Otherwise, they would not recognize Qiu Yan's mastership at all.
However, now there was suddenly news. It is said that Qiu Yan killed the famous Zuo Xian Wang of Rouluo. If it is confirmed to be true, it will be a big deal. Even if it triggers a conflict between the two countries, it is not a pity for Zuo Xian Wang to die for what he did in the past.
Qiu Yan will not only not be punished. Maybe he will be rewarded.
"If this is true, the power of the Hu people is equivalent to being defeated by Qiu Yan alone!"
It is still unclear whether the news is true or not. Although Zhang Lian took the lead, others are not in a hurry to express their opinions.
On the other side. Li Kun was worried about gains and losses, but there was still a trace of expectation, so he asked again: "In addition to Zuo Xian Wang, there are other people who have been arrested. Who is that person...?"
In fact, he just heard the other names. But compared with Zuo Xian Wang, although fewer people know those three names, everyone who knows them understands what the names represent.
If the killing of Zuo Xian Wang makes them doubt whether it is a false report, then the remaining names can only be said to be absolutely impossible.
As a minor official in the Ministry of War, Shen San knew Zuo Xian Wang. But he didn't know the Three Saints of Rouluo, so he seemed much calmer when he answered: "The rest are probably gangsters, and their names sound like bandit names. One said he was the national teacher of Rouluo, one was called the Supreme Martial Master, and another said he was the master of the Ice Palace. The national teacher and the master were both canonized. Other small countries also had them, and they were all martial artists with some cultivation. These two people were also killed by Qiu Xiuzhuan. Compared with them, among the dozens of people who were rescued..."
But before he finished speaking, Li Kun shouted: "Send someone to verify it immediately!"
"The Five Military Commandery! The Ministry of War! The Ministry of Rites! The Honglu Temple! The Imperial City Department! All of them must send people to verify the authenticity of this news immediately, and there must be no slackness! Did you hear what I said!"
"I obey your order!"
"Your subjects obey your order!"
As soon as Li Kun finished speaking, all the officials of the departments whose names were called, together with several prime ministers and the white-faced old man, all came out and bowed, and responded in unison, and the scene was spectacular.
But Shen San was confused. He carefully observed the expressions of the emperor, the prime ministers, the ministers, and the nine ministers, and found that everyone was wooden, not surprised or surprised, but their eyes were slightly dull.
This was a manifestation of extreme shock.
"What's going on?" In doubt, Shen San noticed Yang Cong beside him and found that this military general, although standing on one side with his head down, was trembling all over, with a taste of being unable to control himself, and was obviously trying to suppress his emotions.
This scene made Shen San even more confused.
As for Tian Youqing, no one paid attention to him anymore.
He wanted to say that Qiu Yan killed Bu Yichi, and Zuo Xian Wang would retaliate. Now even Zuo Xian Wang might be executed, which would inevitably cause Rou Luo to retaliate, but Rou Luo's three masters might have been severely injured by Qiu Yan...
Such a person, you want to punish him?
The court meeting ended hastily in such a strange atmosphere. As soon as it ended, the gates of Xingjing were opened, and several fast horses went north without stopping.
Several more rays of light flew into the air!
………………
"Master Rouluo? Supreme Martial Master? The Lord of the Ice Palace? These are the Three Saints of Rouluo. You said that these three people were defeated by the champion?"
At the same time, there were also surprised voices in the barracks outside Xingjing City. This time, even the military commanders who agreed with Qiu Yan looked at each other in bewilderment.
"It should be a misunderstanding."
"It's probably false."
"Where is Zuo Xian Wang?"
...
While whispering, the heroic man on the first seat slapped the table and said, "Use the beacon channel to inform Xiao Lan and let him quickly understand the situation!"
On the other side, in the barracks of the Dingchang Army, Xiao Lan, the Marquis of Maishan, who was mentioned by someone, was looking at a letter in his hand. His steady hands holding the knife and sword were shaking slightly.
"Is this... is this true?"
