In the court.

The censor Liu Fang was furious and said, "General Guo is getting more and more excessive. It is already reckless for 500 people to attack the Hu army, and he even dared to report a false victory."

"How can such a person guard Xiangyang City? I beg the emperor to immediately dismiss him and escort him back to Lin'an Prefecture."

Even the old and experienced Prime Minister Cai was not calm. He didn't feel a few strands of his beard being torn off. He said, "Other things can be faked, but this capture of Nianhan cannot be faked."

"Nianhan is a founding general of Tianjin Kingdom. Such a major event can be easily verified by checking."

"If General Guo fails to hand over Nianhan, it will be a capital crime."

"This... I really can't figure it out. What does General Guo mean?"

Emperor Anyou said to the screen on the side: "Order the secret guards to immediately find out the whereabouts of Tianjin Kingdom General Nianhan. There must be no mistakes."

"Yes."

A figure disappeared from behind the screen.

Before Nianhan's news was verified, the people in the court were shocked by the following series of news.

It was said that the immortal performed the art of resurrection in public and saved a soldier.

He also used the method of longevity to borrow the life of five people to this soldier, allowing him to survive the great catastrophe of life and death.

He also taught the brewing method of "Immortal Drunk" in public.

Originally, these immortal things were shocking enough, but there was more shocking to come.

The next day, the immortal taught the art of resurrection and the method of borrowing life in public.

As a result, because of leaking the secret of heaven, the immortal was punished by heaven and was chased by lightning, causing the general's armory to catch fire and burn countless weapons.

Then another day passed.

The immortal performed the art of deceiving heaven and made a lightning rod to intercept the heavenly punishment in mid-air.

Then he finally taught the "longevity method" completely to the students.

These pieces of information came several times a day for several days in a row.

Each letter was like a thunderclap, making everyone in the court buzz.

Everyone thought to themselves, could it be that General Guo had changed his profession to storytelling?

In order to please the emperor, he wrote some fairy stories for the emperor to entertain him?

Several battle reports a day, this update frequency, even the great scholars are not as diligent as him.

Even Emperor Anyou was a little suspicious, was General Guo too bored to defend the city, and was tortured to death?

If it was just a story, everyone would be shocked, but there would not be many letters.

But the letter was quite realistic, with "resurrection" and "borrowing life" attached.

And "alcohol brewing method" that everyone could not take care of for the time being.

Not only did it contain detailed operating steps, but it also explained the secrets of the yin and yang worlds.

What taboos were there such as snatching people from the hands of little ghosts and not worshiping too early.

Even the teaching process was recorded clearly.

For example, what questions did Xu Wen ask, and how many punches and kicks were given by the immortal.

Another example is that Zhang Tian was struck by thunder, but Xu Wen, who was clinging to his thigh, was safe and sound.

And so on, no matter how big or small.

Each one overturned the cognition of all officials in the court.

Cai An took the "Longevity Borrowing Method" and looked at it repeatedly, his hands trembling: "Is this true? How can this be true?"

He dared not hope for immortality now, because he was getting old and might die of old age at any time.

If this method of borrowing longevity was useful, with his power, he could find a large number of young people to "borrow longevity" at any time.

Although the emperor had doubts, he could not hide his excitement.

In addition to expanding territory, the greatest obsession of emperors in all dynasties was immortality.

If there was an elixir of immortality, or if one could become an immortal, wouldn't one be able to enjoy this wealth and glory for generations?

However, some emperors were pragmatic and would not do anything reckless despite their obsession.

Some emperors believed in unorthodox ways and took the so-called "golden elixir" indiscriminately, which made them die faster.

Emperor Anyou had been oppressed by the Tianjin Dynasty and could not turn things around. He could not find a solution and always fantasized that God would help him.

Now that his dream seems to have come true, he no longer cares about the emperor's scheming.

Cai An looked at the situation, hesitated for a moment, and said in response: "Your Majesty, General Guo is calm and steady, I'm afraid he is not joking."

"As mentioned in the letter, the immortal boat fell to the ground, and hundreds of thousands of people in Xiangyang City saw it with their own eyes."

"Moreover, the immortal boat is nearly a hundred feet long and weighs hundreds of thousands of pounds. It is still outside Xiangyang City."

"We can just send someone to Xiangyang City to ask and verify the truth."

"If it is not true, how could General Guo joke about his own head?"

As he said, he suddenly knelt down: "I am willing to share the worries of the emperor and immediately send someone to verify this resurrection technique and the method of living a long life."

Emperor Anyou was very satisfied with Cai An's performance and nodded: "Well, stand up, you arrange it as soon as possible."

Cai An stood up, bowed and saluted: "As ordered!"

The Imperial Censor Liu Fang stood up, his body straight: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Cai, how can you believe such evil talk? When a country is about to... be in chaos, there must be evil spirits. I risk my life to make a suggestion, please issue an order to immediately behead the evil spirit to set things right. "

Liu Fang exchanged glances with the other imperial censors, looking ready to fight.

Throughout the dynasties, matters of gods and immortals have been taboos in the court.

There are really too many precedents.

From Qin Shihuang, Cao Cao to Emperor Taizong of Tang, few of them had a good ending, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they were a disaster to the country and the people.

Therefore, as long as it involves matters of gods and immortals, the self-proclaimed upright civil servants are basically in a desperate posture, determined to keep the evil spirits out of the court.

Because of the precedent of Zhao Kuangyin's military generals rebelling, the Nan'an Dynasty, in order to maintain its imperial The imperial court took the same path as the Song Dynasty - using civil officials to control military power.

Basically, no matter how civil officials criticized, they would not be beheaded, and they were treated very kindly.

Occasionally, they were demoted and exiled, which was a rare and severe punishment.

Therefore, civil officials became more and more bold in the court. Knowing that they would not die, they would "risk their lives to make suggestions" at any time.

Emperor Anyou saw that the censors were about to criticize, and he could not help but feel a little impatient and looked at Cai An.

Cai An understood and said, "No matter whether this person is an immortal or not, he helped my Nan'an Dynasty defeat 50,000 Hu people's cavalry and captured the general of Tianjin Kingdom alive. If it is true, it will be an unprecedented achievement. How can it be regarded as a demon?"

"Now there is a method of resurrection and longevity in the letter. Once it is tested, it will be known."

"Otherwise, without any evidence, just based on a demon saying, to kill a meritorious person, wouldn't it chill the hearts of people in the world to serve the country? "

Liu Fang was speechless.

However, now everyone is just expressing their attitude.

What the truth of the matter is, and whether the two "immortal methods" mentioned in the letter are useful, all need to be verified.

Liu Fang and other upright people have remembered this "immortal" in their hearts and made preparations secretly.

If this "immortal" dares to enter the capital, he must be exposed in person and killed as soon as possible.

With the power of the emperor and Cai An, it would not be too difficult to find a qualified injured person to verify it.

Even if it cannot be found for a while, there is no obstacle to killing the death row prisoner and then testing it.

After all, no one in this era talks about human rights for death row prisoners.

Cai An is very efficient. Two days later, he brought a memorial and entered the imperial study to meet the emperor alone.

Cai An said: "Your Majesty, the immortal method has been verified. "
