Chapter 218: The Bronze Man is born and the court makes a judgment
"Hold them off!"
Wei Cheng screamed hysterically!
Two hundred soldiers bravely rushed towards the black-armored veteran, and they soon realized how powerful he was!
The black-armored veterans were like a torrent of steel, tearing apart the paper team of soldiers in an instant.
General Wei Cheng turned around and ran away, but was kicked in the back by a big foot. As soon as he got up, Tang Dao was held on his neck. He subconsciously said: "Who are you?"
These people have rich fighting experience, and the soldiers in front of them have no power to fight back.
"Mourinho's sixth personal guard!"
"Mourinho's 18th personal guard!"
"Mourinho's 38th personal guard!"
…
Each black-armored veteran defends his name!
"Black-armored veteran!"
Wei Cheng shuddered, and chills ran down his spine: "What do you want to do? I am an official of the imperial court. Do you want to kill the official and rebel...ah!"
Bang bang bang...
Chang Sheng slapped him in the face and fired his bow: "Guan Gu, to tell you the truth, the military advisor is going to have both advantages and disadvantages this time, and I really did the opposite!"
Ping Jian, Yu Tieshan, a group of black-armored veterans, all with cold eyes.
At that time, Mourinho swept across the barbarians and made great military exploits for the imperial court, but he was framed and died!
Now that the military advisor had just defeated the Huang people, the imperial court not only decreed that he would never be used, but these dog officers also came to frame him.
They were really angry to the extreme, and certain thoughts that they had suppressed before were constantly tumbling around!
If not for the instructions from the military advisor, they would have sneaked into the county and killed that dog officer Pei Xianzheng!
Then he rescued the military advisor and found a hilltop where weeds had fallen, and he no longer suffered from the imperial court's jealousy!
Looking into a pair of murderous eyes, Wei Cheng trembled and collapsed on the ground. Regardless of whether these people rebelled or not, this time he was completely finished.
…
There was a quarry in Ren County. A group of masons chiseled out a large stone, and a hole appeared underneath.
"Hey, there's something!"
The masons looked down and saw a doll lying at the bottom of the pit. It was one foot long, yellow with green, and showed signs of corrosion over time, like an old object!
"Gold?"
"Did I see it first?"
"Did I fucking see it first?"
"Don't rob me. Anyone who robs him is welcome. Oops!"
"Whoever grabs it belongs to whoever grabs it!"
A group of masons surrounded the pit and began to fight, curse and fight.
If you get such a big piece of gold, your ancestors will be able to eat it for three generations!
You fight for it, you group of masons fight, but no one touches the green and yellow doll.
Some people started to bleed, but the fighting continued and no one wanted to stop.
"You're all so fucking full that you can fight hard. If you save enough tax money for the spring, you don't have to work hard digging rocks anymore!"
A small official in official uniform came over, looked at a group of masons and said, "Get out of my way!"
No one among the group of masons moved.
They saw it and sent the master to drive them away because they wanted to keep the gold for themselves.
If in the past, they had listened to the master, after all, there would not be much benefit involved!
But now there is such a big piece of gold!
Many people were thinking about it, with fierce gleams in their eyes, and looked at the little official unkindly.
When the slick little official saw it, he immediately ran away, cursing as he ran: "You bunch of unruly people who have killed a thousand people, dare not listen to my orders, do you want to rebel?"
As soon as they heard the word "rebellion" and then saw the officials running away, many people were so excited that they completely woke up and surrounded the pothole puppets, either leaving or staying.
Not long after, a small official came with several official servants, holding an oxtail knife with murderous intent.
A group of stunned masons ran away quickly.
One of the servants slashed the doll with a knife and couldn't help but yell: "Damn it, copper, what kind of bastard is talking about gold, making my trip in vain!"
Although such a large piece of copper is worth a little money, it is worth more than gold.
Several officers checked one by one and found out that it was indeed copper, and they were all a little discouraged.
"Hey, this bronze man is a little weird. Why does he only have one eye?"
"There are words on the back of this bronze figure!"
"What word?"
"Damn it, I'm not a scholar, how can I know how to read!"
"I know three people. This one is 'human', this one is 'one', this one seems to be 'human being', this one is also 'one', and this one is 'anti'."
"I only know three of them, and I don't know what they mean by killing them. Why not sell them? They are worth two thousand dollars, which is enough for us brothers to have a few drinks!"
"Wait a minute, Bronze Man, One Eye, didn't you think of something?"
"What?"
"Don't forget that the bronze man has only one eye. Whenever the bronze man appears, he will do good and evil!"
"The words "people", "one", "one" and "rebellion" all match. It seems that the prophecy of rebellion is really true!"
"The copper figure cannot be sold. It must be returned to the county government office and handed over to the county magistrate. Otherwise, it will be a serious crime of beheading!"
A group of officials who were originally excited turned pale with fright and hurried back with the bronze man.
"When the Bronze Man is born, if someone rebels, how can we live like this?"
The masons who had also heard the prophecy sighed!
A group of officials sent the bronze figure to the county government. The county magistrate looked at the one-eyed bronze figure and frowned: "With so much patina and traces of corrosion over time, this bronze figure was cast at least three hundred years ago. Does it mean that the prefect Pei Xianzheng really has a destiny?
Are you really ready to raise an army to rebel? No, I will eat the emperor's salary and worry about the loyal emperor. I will report it to the court!"
At this moment, two fast horses rushed into the county government office, and a government official stepped forward to stop them!
The two of them dismounted, dressed in black python suits, and raised the tokens around their waists.
The yamen servant stared at the words on it and didn't react yet!
The magistrate of Ren County rushed over, clasped his fists in revenge and said, "See you, Lord Shadow Dragon Guard. I wonder what you two are doing here!"
The Shadow Dragon Guards are the eyes and ears of the royal family, lurking around the world to collect important intelligence!
Usually if you don't show up, you will arrest someone if you show up, and even the court officials will arrest you!
Shadow Dragon Guard said directly: "Where's the bronze figure you just got? We want to take a look!"
The magistrate of Ping County took out the bronze figure.
The two Shadow Dragon Guards looked at it and frowned!
No matter the patina or the corrosion marks of time, this bronze figure is extremely real!
Unlike other rebel prophecies, they can be forged at will!
Could it be that Pei Xianzheng really has destiny and can really overthrow the great cause!
"We are going to take the bronze man back to the capital. Sir, you can write a report on this matter!"
With a hurried explanation, the two got on their horses and headed straight for the capital with the bronze man.
…
Five days later, Daye Imperial Capital, Imperial Study Room!
There are three bronze figures placed on the imperial desk, frowning and looking at each other with excitement. Below them are two figures on the left and right, and the six pavilion elders are silent.
After a long silence, he said excitedly: "Yao Qian, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and you know all kinds of craftsmanship skills. Is it possible that these three one-eyed bronze figures are fake!"
Shi Yaoqian, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, said: "Your Majesty, these three bronze figures, judging from the patina and traces, they were made at least hundreds of years ago and are definitely not made recently."
Emperor Xinglong frowned.
If the bronze man was really buried hundreds of years ago, and if the three prophecies were widely circulated in the two counties, it is possible that Pei Xianzheng really had a destiny.
As an emperor, he is not afraid of rebellion. People rebel every year, so it’s nothing!
But if there is physical evidence of the transfer of destiny, it means that the great cause will be overthrown!
Gu Jidao, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, clasped his fists: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, these prophecies were spread in the two counties after Pei Zheng, the prefect of Longnan, arrested Wang Yuan of Fu County. This is a bit too coincidental. It must be that Wang
Yuan is up to no good and is spreading rumors to frame Pei Xianzheng!"
Originally, he would not take the risk to excuse someone for rebelling, but just yesterday, Pei Xianzheng's people came and gave him 50,000 taels of silver!
Emperor Xinglong frowned!
The Shadow Dragon Guards all came back with news about the Longnan incident, including why Wang Yuan was arrested.
Did Wang Yuan kill Ye Xiucai's family? Did Pei Xianzheng frame me?
He doesn't care about these at all, he only cares about Pei Zhengxian's destiny and whether it is true!
Zuo Xiangyang glanced at Fengguo!
Zhou Jingye, the Minister of Rites, came out and clasped his fists: "Gu Shangshu, Mr. Mingtan has been imprisoned, how can he spread rumors and slander Pei Xianzheng?
As far as I know, prophecies were first spread from bandits in various parts of Longnan.
Let’s talk about the bandits of Jiushan County, Yixiantian and Daqingling. Mr. Mingtan has fought them all and killed many people on both hills!
As for the first line of sky in He County, Mr. Mingtan even led people to destroy the green-faced beast with the thieves' head.
He and those bandits had a sworn feud, so how could he instruct them?
On the other hand, Pei Xianzheng sent Longnan military general Wei Cheng to suppress the bandits, but he couldn't do anything about the green-faced beast!
But when Mr. Mingtan destroyed the green-faced beast, he found an excuse to arrest Mr. Mingtan.
Doesn't this look like revenge for the green-faced beast, or does it look like resenting Mr. Mingtan for stopping his great cause?
Gu Shangshu, it is related to the great cause of the country and the country. There are prophecies made hundreds of years ago to prove it, but you still excuse Pei Xianzheng, what are your intentions?"
thump!
Gu Jidao's expression changed drastically and he knelt on the ground directly: "Your Majesty, I am loyal to the great cause and have no second thoughts. Please tell me clearly.
The reason why I tried to protect Pei Xianzheng was because he was good at collecting taxes.
Nowadays, the national treasury is empty, and many 50% of taxes levied by various places cannot be collected every year.
Some still went to the court to ask for money, but Pei Xianzheng collected taxes in full every year.
If he wanted to rebel, he would still go to great lengths to help the court collect taxes and bring shame on himself in the local area!"
Zuo Xiangyang Fengguo stood up and said: "Whether Pei Xianzheng has a counter-intention or not, please judge this. But you should have seen Mr. Mingtan's 'Song of Righteousness'. He is dedicated to being a pillar of the country, how can we look at him?"
Trapped in jail and framed by villains!"
As soon as the song of righteousness reached the capital, he was furious after reading it and finding out what happened to Wang Yuan.
If it weren't for the rebellion involved, and many people were trying to dissuade him, he would have started a riot in the court!
There is righteousness in the world. Mr. Mingtan wrote it well, but where is the righteousness?
"Prime Minister Zuo, you have forgotten His Majesty's sacred decree. You are not allowed to discuss that person in court again!"
Right Prime Minister Bao Qingshi stood up and said: "The big thing now is to determine whether these three bronze figures are prophecies. This has a bearing on the great cause of the country. Are these not as good as Wang Mingmingtan!"
Left Prime Minister Yang Fengguo's eyes sank: "Right Prime Minister..."
"enough!"
Xinglong gathered around the table and said with a gloomy expression: "It all involves the foundation of the great cause, and you are still fighting! Chuanqin Tianjian!"
The two of them looked serious and stopped talking!
Qin Tianjian is responsible for observing astronomical phenomena, formulating calendars, managing royal feng shui, and predicting good and bad luck!
Sometimes when it was difficult for the emperor to make a decision, he would seek help from the Qintian Supervisor officials to make a decision based on the movement of the celestial phenomena and the corresponding good and bad fortunes!
Half an hour later, the seventh-grade Qin Tian Jian was kneeling in the imperial study room!
Emperor Xinglong said: "Yu Jianzheng, are there any changes in the sky recently?"
