There is another update in the afternoon! Don’t waste your tickets if you have them! Thank you so much! I can collect them easily! It’s so great!
………………………………………………………………………………
At this time, the court was still covered with clouds in the palace, and the worries on the faces of the ministers were even heavier than yesterday.
"Taishi, what should I do?" Emperor Jinglong on the throne repeated yesterday's words again, and the panic in his voice did not change at all.
"Your Majesty, I think that now I can only let go of a gap and put those monster savages into the Shang Kingdom. Although the Da Ao Kingdom has agreed to send troops, it will definitely not come to help immediately. They will definitely wait until our Da Shang and the monsters fight to the defeat and the national strength will be greatly damaged before they will work against the monster savages. Therefore, we must create an illusion that our army is defeated. Otherwise, even if our Da Shang military power is exhausted, even if we drive away the wild monsters, our Da Shang will turn into fish in the cauldron of the Da Ao Kingdom. At that time, we will still have no good life to live when we reject the tigers and the back door to welcome the wolf." Hong Xizhao said without thinking, as if he had already made such a plan.
As soon as he fell, the civil servants immediately claimed yes.
Zheng Zeshi looked angry and stepped forward and said coldly: "What should the people in the country do? Can't they let the monsters and savages swallow them?"
Grandmaster Hong seemed to have expected Zheng Zeshi to say this, and sneered: "Duyan General Zheng was cold-blooded and slashed ten thousand people's heads with anger when he left Yangguan. Why did he look like a young and energetic boy today? The general is not unaware that all the monsters and savages are all out. Our Shang Guardian has no resistance at all. Instead of being destroyed by monsters, we should give up our way first to save the defenders and wait for the reinforcements of Aoguo."
Zheng Zeshi groaned and said, "I only ask the people how to resettle them!"
Master Hong smiled and said, "Don't worry, General. I have invited the three major sects to help. They will send monks to temporarily withstand the monsters and savages and give us enough time to transfer the people."
Zheng Zeshi's eyes hopped slightly, and suddenly shouted fiercely: "Hong Xizhao, what have you agreed to the three major sects? How could they do all their best to do such a thing?"
Master Hong's face turned slightly cold and then said, "The Shang Kingdom is about to destroy the country, and why are the three green mist rocks left?"
Not only Zheng Zeshi's face changed drastically, but some officials from the Grand Tutor Hong changed their faces, but Emperor Jinglong, who was on the throne, had a very difficult look on his face.
"The three-way green mist rocks were left by Taizu of Shang Kingdom, and were a property that governed the country. Hong Xizhao, if you dare to agree to such a request for the emperor, you are not afraid of being stabbed by the people!" Zheng Zeshi's face turned pale and he pressed his hand faintly towards the sword on his waist, obviously he was extremely angry. In this hall, only he and Hong Xizhao were qualified to wear swords on his hall. Hong Xizhao was a civil servant. If he had not had special needs, he was qualified but was not convenient to bring a sword to the hall. Today he had the gentleman's sword on his waist and hips, and obviously he had expected that this would be very prepared.
Master Hong groaned and then said to Emperor Jinglong: "I am just about to ask the emperor to give Qingwuyan to save the Shang Dynasty and the people."
For a moment, all the court officials focused their eyes on Emperor Jinglong. Emperor Jinglong's face was blue and white, and his eyes were flashing. He looked at Zheng Zeshi's hand that was about to press the hilt of the knife and suddenly sighed pale: "Qingwuyan is a thing that governs the country, and it is also useful to protect the country at this time. I think Taizu will not blame the Taishi. Even if there is any mistake, I will bear it with all my strength. I have been in trouble for less than a year after I ascended the throne. It is obvious that God is dissatisfied with me. I will issue an edict to open an altar to sacrifice to the heaven to seek forgiveness!"
Zheng Zeshi's hand pressed on the hilt of the knife couldn't help but tremble, and then slowly let go.
The court officials looked at each other and bowed and kowtowed.
Only Taishi Ang stood in the entire court, like a crane entering a flock of chickens.
At this time, news came from outside the court that ten martial artists waited for the decree outside the hall.
Emperor Jinglong's spirit was slightly shocked and sired: "Summon!"
The ministers stood up one after another and lined up.
Wushu Wenshu is a magic weapon for the country. Even if the monsters and savages in the 100,000 mountains are now ready to cause trouble, no one dares to postpone the established martial arts election time.
After a burst of footsteps, ten heroic men bowed in a row and saluted.
Emperor Jinglong's eyes swept across these martial artists' faces, stopped slightly on Hong Huang's face, then looked at Hong Jie, and then looked at Grandmaster Hong. The faces of the three of them were really similar. Although there was no expression on his face at this time, he felt a sense of playfulness in his heart, because he had heard some interesting news about Hong Huang.
Although Hong Huang is the concubine son of Tai Shi Hong, he seems to be quite dissatisfied with Tai Shi Hong. Hong Huang's mother is a singer with a low status. She was so drunk that she had this son after being drunk and favored by Tai Shi Hong. After ten months of pregnancy, Hong Huang was immediately shot and sent to the bed by Tai Shi Hong's wife. However, Tai Shi Hong didn't say anything about this. This alone was enough to lay a deep hatred like a sea of blood in Hong Huang's heart. From then on, Hong Huang pretended to be crazy and even ate shit in public and was humiliated to survive in the quagmire of Hong Mansion. At a young age, he was forged like a Vajra Iron Man, and his scheming was deep and hidden. This time, as soon as he left the Hong Mansion, he jumped into the quagmire and returned to the sea. Not only did the articles that won the title of Tianlei Ziqi and won the name of the sub-saint, it seems that this son's martial arts are not weak at all. If he could use it for me, it would be equivalent to stabbing a sword in Tai Shi Hong's chest!
These thoughts were fleeting. Then Emperor Jinglong looked at the other martial artists, stopped for a moment on Zheng Shuang and shook over. Zheng Shuang was the son of Zheng Zeshi. Emperor Jinglong knew him well and even had some personal relationships. After passing Zheng Shuang, most of the other martial artists were disciples of the gentry. The loyalty of the gentry disciples to the royal family was very average. They only worked hard for their own families, often as fence-bearers, and only willing to rely on powerful forces. Therefore, Emperor Jinglong was not interested in these people. Only Yuan Fei and Zhang Hua, who was ranked last, were both civilians, and among them, the two brothers Zhang Wu were born in civilians.
Yuan Fei's life experience is the most suspicious. Some people suspect that he is the man of Tai Shi Hong, and some people suspect that he is General Zheng, and some even suspect that Yuan Fei is the man of the emperor or the empress dowager. However, no matter who he is, Emperor Jinglong has made up his mind to never use this person. If this person is the man of Tai Shi Hong, there is nothing to say. We must try our best to suppress him. If it is General Zheng's man, why did General Zheng hide it from him? There is more things to say in this, and Yuan Fei is definitely not his and the queen. No one knows this better than him.
After Emperor Jinglong's eyes turned around the martial artists, he nodded slightly. The eunuch behind him quickly raised the imperial edict and said at the top of his voice: "The foundation stone of the country of civil and military affairs..." After saying a quarter of an hour, these nonsense were finished, and the palace examination officially began.dd
