Seeing Fang Zheng maintaining a respectful posture in front of him, Yue Buqun couldn't help but feel infinite emotion in his heart.
The person in front of me is Fang Zheng, the famous Shaolin abbot in the world. Even if the former leader of the Sun Moon Sect, Dongfang Bubai, comes in person, I'm afraid Fang Zheng will not be so polite.
Not to mention him, the leader of the Huashan Sect. After all, the Huashan Sect has declined to its limit since the turmoil in the past. The so-called leader of the Huashan Sect may not even be looked down upon by Fang Zheng.
But now that he is the imperial envoy of Jinyi Guards, he has come with the imperial edict. Facing the imperial court, even a Shaolin abbot like Fang Zheng does not dare to show any slightness in front of him.
Yue Buqun knew very well that the other party was not jealous of him, but was deeply in awe of the imperial court he represented. It was his current status that allowed Fang Zheng to maintain such a polite and even awe-inspiring attitude.
Taking a deep breath, Yue Buqun felt infinite emotion in his heart, and at the same time he became more and more determined in his original choice.
Sure enough, his choice was right. Only by joining the imperial court could he hope to revive the Huashan Sect. If he still had the same vision as in the past and only focused on the world, he might not be able to see it even if he spent his whole life and tried his best.
The hope of reviving the Huashan Sect.
Looking at Fang Zheng, Yue Buqun suddenly nodded and said with a smile: "Master Fang Zheng said it is true. The imperial decree is more important. Let's go up the mountain right now. We will talk about everything after the imperial decree is read out."
After hearing Yue Buqun's words, Fang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he stepped out of the way to go up the mountain and walked side by side with Yue Buqun towards the Shaolin Temple.
Behind him were several major leaders of the Shaolin Temple. These people followed Yue Buqun and Fang Zheng one by one. They had no intention of overstepping the mark, and they understood the rules perfectly.
If this were the case in the past, even if Yue Buqun came to pay homage to the mountain as the leader of the Huashan Sect, he might not be able to see any of the leaders of the various halls of the Shaolin Temple in front of him.
Yue Buqun and Fang Zheng walked side by side, and Fang Zheng smiled and introduced to Yue Buqun some of the scenery on Songshan Mountain that he had seen along the way. It can be said that the explanation was very detailed.
It can be said that only Fang Zheng, the abbot of Shaolin, can be treated like this in the world. Looking at the world, even Fang Zheng's best friend and Wudang master Chongxu Taoist may not be able to be treated like this.
The mountain road is very long. For ordinary people, it may take half a day to walk on this rugged mountain road. But for people like Yue Buqun, they have reached the Shaolin Mountain Gate in just a cup of tea.
Looking at the majestic and simple temple in front of him, even Yue Buqun couldn't help but sigh a little when he looked at this temple hidden among the mountains and forests.
It is indeed a Shaolin that can be passed down for thousands of years. Compared with it, their Huashan sect is really inferior.
Walking into the Shaolin Temple, the entire Shaolin Temple was clearly prepared. Some of the middle and high-level monks of the Shaolin Temple were already gathering in the square in front of the main hall.
At a glance, at least dozens of monks gathered in the square, and there were even incense tables that had been prepared. Seeing this scene, Yue Buqun nodded slightly towards Fang Zheng.
Fang Zheng and other Shaolin monks were also well prepared at this time, and their eyes naturally fell on Gu Changfeng, who was following Yue Buqun and holding a bright yellow scroll in his hands.
Needless to say, just by looking at that scroll, they knew that it should be the imperial edict issued to them by the Shaolin Temple. Yue Buqun turned around and took the edict from Gu Changfeng, looked at Fang Zheng and others and said in a deep voice: "Shaolin Temple accepts the edict."
Immediately, headed by Fang Zheng, a group of Shaolin monks knelt down towards Yue Buqun who was holding the imperial edict. At this time, Fang Zheng and other monks did not hesitate at all, nor did they say anything to outsiders. They rushed in without any resistance.
Kneel down in obedience to the imperial edict.
For a moment, Yue Buqun felt a strange joy in his heart. Even though he knew that what Fang Zheng and others were kneeling to worship was the imperial edict he held in his hand, but looking at the Shaolin senior officials kneeling in front of him, Yue Buqun felt
There are still ripples in my heart.
Taking a deep breath to suppress the turmoil in his heart, Yue Buqun slowly unfolded his holy
The edict said in a deep voice: "The emperor is entrusted by heaven to carry out the edict: The Sun and Moon God Sect has no regard for the king's law, ignores the law and discipline, and is causing trouble in the world. Shaolin Temple is specially ordered to assist the imperial envoy Yue Buqun in the encirclement and suppression."
Yes, now Yue Buqun has received the imperial envoy's errand, and is fully responsible for the extermination of the Sun and Moon God Sect.
Yue Buqun's words echoed in front of the magnificent Main Hall of Shaolin Temple, and the senior Shaolin officials who knelt on the ground in front of the incense table could hear them clearly.
When he heard that the imperial court was planning to annihilate the Sun and Moon God Sect, Fang Zheng, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but have a look of surprise in his eyes.
Regarding the Sun and Moon God Sect, Shaolin naturally knows very well that there are two sides of good and evil in the world, and the one who is yelled at and killed represents the evil side is naturally the Sun and Moon God Sect. With the Sun and Moon God Sect as a foil, Shaolin,
The Taishan Beidou in Wudang has become the representative of the righteous way.
It can be said that to a certain extent, it is precisely because of the support of the evil Sun and Moon Sect that Shaolin and Wudang have the status of Mount Tai and Beidou.
Now the imperial court suddenly gave Shaolin an order to destroy the Sun and Moon Sect, which naturally made Fang Zheng deeply surprised.
Hasn't the imperial court not paid much attention to Jianghu all this time? How did the Sun Moon God Sect offend the imperial court, and why did it suddenly attract a blow from the imperial court?
You must know that the Mingjiao, the predecessor of the Sun Moon God Sect, was attacked by the imperial court because of the grievances and hatred between it and Taizu, and eventually disappeared.
Except for Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong Wen, two generations of emperors maintained a high-pressure attack on Jianghu during their reign. Subsequent emperors gradually paid less attention to Jianghu.
It was also from that time that the Sun Moon God Sect gradually developed and grew, becoming the top force in the world. At its peak, it was even able to suppress Shaolin and Wudang.
Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but Fang Zheng did not react for a moment.
At this moment, Yue Buqun, who had just finished reading out the imperial edict and was waiting for Fang Zheng to receive the edict, saw Fang Zheng standing there stunned and couldn't help but cough slightly.
"Master Fangzheng, why are you hesitating? Could it be that Shaolin wants to resist the decree and be disrespectful?"
Although Yue Buqun's words were not loud, they were like thunder in Fang Zheng's ears, and Fang Zheng suddenly woke up.
Especially Yue Buqun's words about Shaolin's intention to resist the imperial edict and be disrespectful made Fang Zheng break into cold sweat all of a sudden. Almost instinctively, Fang Zheng said: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Envoy has misunderstood. I, Shaolin Temple, are all members of Da Mingzi."
The people naturally abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty."
After saying that, Fang Zheng stood up respectfully, put his hands forward to receive the order and said, "Shaolin Temple receives the order." Looking at Fang Zheng's reaction, Yue Buqun nodded slightly.
After receiving the imperial edict from Yue Buqun, Fang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, Yue Buqun looked at Fang Zheng with a smile on his face and said in a joking tone: "Master just now
But Yue was shocked, I thought the Shaolin Temple was going to resist the decree."
Fang Zheng felt a bit bitter in his heart. With his wisdom, he couldn't see the knocking meaning in Yue Buqun's words.
If Yue Buqun was still the head of the Huashan Sect, how could he dare to say such words in front of him? However, thinking about the fact that the other party was now an imperial envoy, Fang Zheng also felt infinite emotions.
A few years ago, who would have thought that Yue Buqun, who was struggling to survive with the Huashan Sect, would have such a good fortune. Not to mention how Yue Buqun and Fang Zheng get along with each other here.
Time flies and the new year has arrived.
A new year is a new beginning.
After the rest, the officials of various departments of the imperial court began to resume their normal work.
In the first Zhengdan Dynasty after the New Year, all officials gathered together. Perhaps because the New Year had just passed, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were still immersed in the festive atmosphere of the recent festival. Even the impeachment of Li Huan was
It was reduced a lot all of a sudden.
In other words, many officials believed that after the memorials for impeachment of Li Huan by local officials from all over the world flew into the imperial city like snowflakes a year ago, the emperor must have felt the pressure from officials all over the world, and I am afraid that he has now given up his support.
Li Huan's idea of reforming the taxation method.
No wonder
These officials must have such thoughts. You must know that there were too many impeachment memorials from local officials a year ago. It can be said that almost 70% to 80% of officials in the world have submitted memorials to impeach Li Huan.
Representing most of the officials in the world, they were opposed to Li Huan's changes.
Under such circumstances, they did not believe that the emperor still had the courage to support Li Huan. After all, if he was not careful, it might lead to turmoil in the world and the collapse of the country.
The sky is still gray and the Emperor Luan has not yet arrived, but at this moment hundreds of officials are already gathered in the square in front of the Qianqing Palace.
The civil and military ranks were divided. Among the hundreds of officials, many officials looked at Li Huan, who was standing among the nobles, with a strange look.
Some people even thought that they would strike while the iron was hot and severely impeach Li Huan during the imperial meeting. Even if they could not beat Li Huan to death with a stick, they would still teach Li Huan a profound lesson.
Li Huan didn't pay much attention to the looks of these people, and just chatted and laughed quietly with Zhang Lun, Zhu Fu and other nobles. With a sharp shout, he saw the Emperor Luanjia slowly approaching.
With the arrival of the emperor, the great court meeting begins.
As soon as it started, an official jumped out and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the military department has impeached Duan Ying to impeach the champion Hou Li Huan for abusing his power, taking bribes and perverting the law."
Zhu Houzhao, who was sitting there, glanced at the official expressionlessly and said coldly: "Is there any conclusive evidence?"
When Duan Ying arrived, she was stunned and said subconsciously: "Although I have no evidence, I can guarantee that as long as the champion is imprisoned and handed over to the Third Division for review, sufficient evidence will be found."
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but laughed angrily when he heard this: "Oh, according to you, the so-called charge of impeaching Li Qing is just a figment of your imagination. Do you know what the charge of falsely accusing an important official of the imperial court is? Or do you think that you can just impeach Li Qing casually?"
, the imperial court is going to send an important minister with outstanding merits to the prison for strict investigation. So if someone impeaches the ministers, will they also have to
Because of the so-called groundless charges, all of you will be thrown into jail."
As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao's aura suddenly erupted. He leaned forward slightly, stared at Duan Ying and shouted: "If all officials are like you and want to impeach important officials of the imperial court without any evidence, then what kind of king's law is needed? Let me ask you.
You, do you know your sin?"
Forced by the emperor's aura and the emperor's shout, Duan Ying couldn't help but feel shocked. Her whole body seemed to have been drained of all its strength, and she fell limply to the ground.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Seeing Duan Ying's frightened and embarrassed look, Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly: "Where are the guards? Drag this person down with me, give him twenty punishments, remove him from his official position, and drive him out of the palace."
Seeing Duan Ying, who was begging loudly, being pulled out by several imperial guards, many officials who had seen Duan Ying standing up to impeach Li Huan felt as if they had been poured on their heads when they saw Duan Ying's fate at this moment.
A basin of cold water is normal.
There were even some officials who were so frightened that they turned pale. They were secretly glad that Duan Ying had taken the lead. If they had taken the lead, they would have ended up no better than Duan Ying.
Looking at the reactions of the officials, Zhu Houzhao felt a little smile in his heart. As he expected, there would definitely be officials jumping out to impeach Li Huan at today's meeting, intending to obstruct the tax reform.
But how could Zhu Houzhao, who had already made his decision, comply with these people's wishes and directly punish Duan Ying with thunderous means to shock all officials?
At the same time, Zhu Houzhao said to Gao Feng, who was standing aside: "Gao Daban, declare the decree."
Gao Feng, who had already received instructions from the emperor before arriving, immediately stepped forward after hearing the emperor's words, holding a copy of the imperial edict in his hands.
Many officials were suddenly startled after hearing the emperor's words, and suddenly raised their heads and looked at Gao Feng, as if they had just discovered the imperial edict held in Gao Feng's hand.
"No, Your Majesty, this is"
Many people saw the emperor's reaction and immediately guessed that the imperial edict in Gao Feng's hand was probably an imperial edict regarding the implementation of tax reforms.
If you say no
If there is Duan Ying's precedent, I am afraid that some officials will jump out to directly remonstrate with the emperor.
However, at this time, the screams of Duan Ying being beaten with a stick could still be heard in the distance. Even though they had guessed the content of the imperial edict, no one dared to jump out and stop him at this time.
No one stopped him, and Gao Feng naturally read out loudly the first imperial edict issued by the emperor in the new year.
"The stall owner enters his mother's house!"
As expected, this imperial edict was officially promulgated by the emperor regarding tax reform and the implementation of the policy of dividing a small family into an equal share. After Gao Feng read out the imperial edict, the words fell, and the whole place fell into silence.
