After hearing what Zhang Yuzhi said, Chong Tingzhi changed his mind and nodded: "Zhang Tingzhi is right. We are in wartime, so we don't have to be bound by the usual rules! Let's not allow those villains to cause trouble! What should be dealt with strictly must be dealt with strictly.
!”
Tianxia's laws are one in normal times and one in wartime. In wartime, everything is for the purpose of war, and all forces need to be concentrated. There can be no obstruction at all, so it is impossible to use the usual methods.
Some things that can be tolerated in normal times are completely unreasonable to you in wartime. As long as it hinders Tianxia, Xuan Ting can make a decision directly and take you away first, and then deal with it slowly.
Tian Xia's last campaign against the Moqi Protoss was a time of war, and after it was over, it was naturally lifted.
Just not long ago, Zhang Yutan saw a foreign land. Since he didn't know the enemy's movements and where they came from, and for the purpose of leniency in predicting the enemy, he once again entered into wartime preparations. Although it has not been officially announced, it can be seen from
According to the ritual, it is already wartime. If the situation changes further, it can be pushed downward immediately to mobilize the power of the entire Tianxia.
Although the foreign land was successfully solved later, there are still foreign lands in the void, and it has only been a few dozen days, and it is not yet known whether the owner of the foreign land will react, so it is still in a wartime state at this moment.
Although Taoist Shen is familiar with Tianxia's laws and regulations, he is no longer a court official, so he naturally does not know the reasons for this. As long as he grasps this point, he can be directly questioned without regard to the rest.
Lin Tingzhi thought for a while and said: "We are all of the same kind, so there is no need to treat him so harshly. After all, Shen Xuanzun has made great achievements in the past. It is better to inform him of Xuan Ting's possible treatment of him, let him take back his thoughts, and give him good advice.
Fellow Taoists, please withdraw the petition so that you can avoid his mistakes and show him some mercy."
Zhu Tingzhi thought about it and agreed. After all, this was not a big crime. They mainly wanted to resolve the incident. If Shen Min could admit his mistake and take the initiative to eliminate the incident, then there would be no need to pursue the case.
Chong Tingzhi did not refute this statement, but based on his treatment of Taoist Shen, he did not think that this Taoist would listen to this advice.
Lin Tingzhi looked at Zhu Tingzhi at this time and said, "Zhu Tingzhi, I'll bother you to leave later."
Zhu Tingzhi agreed, but he also put forward his own suggestions, saying: "This proposal can be dismissed. However, there is still a need to reach a conclusion on the issue of many latent cultivators and true cultivators entering the world. After all, this matter has been
It has been raised, but it will not end here. Even if Fellow Daoist Shen is not around, there will be others who will speak out for this."
Dai Tingzhi said: "What Zhu Tingzhi said is exactly what Dai wanted to say. If the source is not dealt with properly, the matter will only be suppressed temporarily. It will always be mentioned again in the future, and it will be worse next time."
It’s hard to calm down.”
Wu Tingzhi said at this time: "How to do this, Wu thinks that we should not make a decision in a hurry, because we have not asked fellow Taoists what they really think, so we cannot just force them. Wu feels that it is better to make a decision with
It would be best for all of you comrades to communicate properly, so that we can come up with a solution that has both sides."
Chen Tingzhi pondered for a moment and said: "Zhu Tingzhi, you are acquainted with all the fellow Taoists, so I would like to trouble you to deal with this matter together. By the way, I will go to the fellow Taoists and ask them what they mean."
When Zhu Ting held an official position, he responded in the same way.
On the other side, Taoist Shen stayed in seclusion for five days. When the formal court meeting came, he guessed that Xuan Ting would not come to look for him, so he came out of seclusion and played chess with Taoist Tong by the lotus pond while waiting. information.
After playing several games of chess, the Taoist boy came to report: "Master, Zhu Tingzhi is here to visit."
Taoist Shen perked up and said, "Here he comes." He said, "When Zhu Tingzhi arrives, I will personally go out to greet him."
Taoist Tong stood up and said, "You two must have a lot to say, so Tong avoided it first."
Tong Taoist bowed his head and retreated. He shook his sleeves, straightened his posture, and came out to welcome him. When he arrived outside the palace, he saw Zhu Tingzhi. After greeting him on the main steps, he welcomed the latter into the palace. After the two sides sat down, he said: "Is Zhu Tingzhi here just for the petition?"
Zhu Tingzhi said: "Since Taoist friends know it, Zhu will speak out frankly. I hope you, Taoist friends, will withdraw the petition and stop petitioning again and again. The court will give an explanation later on the matter of you Taoist friends. "
Taoist Shen smiled, but waved his hands and said: "You court officials have high regard for Shen. When you submit a petition to the court, it is your own will, not Shen's wish. Shen is only responsible for bringing everyone together." The Taoist friend's intention is presented to the court officials, and it is beyond Shen's power to ask the Taoist friends to withdraw the request. However, the matter is simple, and as long as the court officials agree to the petition, everyone will naturally be happy."
Zhu Tingzhi glanced at him and saw that he had no intention of discussing the matter seriously. His eyes were slightly cold, and he did not continue to talk with the others, but said directly: "Not to mention the petition submitted by fellow Taoist, before you Instigating several comrades not to enter the main palace to take over the power and responsibilities, if Xuan Ting wants to care about this matter, you, Daoist Shen, will not be able to pass this test."
Taoist Shen smiled and said: "The things Shen didn't do were all chosen by his fellow Taoists. Besides, did Shen violate another etiquette and law?"
Zhu Tingzhi said calmly: "Now is war time."
Taoist Shen's expression changed slightly. He looked at Zhu Tingzhi, and then questioned: "Isn't that right? Xuanting did not issue an edict to declare war. How could it be during war?"
Zhu Ting said: "Xuan Ting was ready for war a month ago, and the preparation list is in the court. If Shen Xuanzun feels something is wrong, he can go and check it himself."
Taoist Shen used to be a court official. He thought about it and immediately understood what was going on. He suddenly felt something was wrong. He forced himself to calm down and said, "I have done meritorious service for Tianxia, and I have also done great service for Xuan Ting." You must not treat me like this. As a court official, I had the authority to petition the five officials!"
Zhu Ting said: "Shen Xuanzun can petition, but that will happen later. It is impossible during the war. Now Zhu will ask you again Shen Xuanzun, have you thought it through clearly?"
Taoist Shen's expression changed several times, but in the end, he calmed down and said resolutely: "I have great trust from you all, and I will never give up halfway or let down what you have entrusted me to do."
He has already thought clearly. Even if he was punished by Xuan Ting and imprisoned this time, it would not actually damage his reputation. Perhaps when fellow true practitioners know about it, they will sympathize and support him more, which will actually help. He will return to Xuanting in the future.
Zhu Tingzhi looked at him calmly, stood up, and said: "Zhu knows Shen Xuanzun's answer and takes leave." As for arresting and detaining this person, someone will come with Xuan Ting's order afterwards, so he won't Let him do it himself.
On the other side, Zhang Yu returned to Qingqiong Taoist Palace after the court meeting. After he dealt with the secular affairs for a while, Ming Zhou showed up and reported to him that Taoist Shen had rejected Zhu Tingzhi's advice.
He thought for a moment and asked Taoist Ming Zhou to step back. At this time, the godman outside came to visit and said that it was Bi Ming who wanted to see him. He nodded and said: "Please."
After a while, Bi Ming walked into the main hall from outside, met him in the hall, and said solemnly: "Tingzhi, just now Chong Tingzhi came to look for his subordinates and asked if they would like to have a discussion with Shen Xuanzun."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and immediately guessed Chong Tingzhi's purpose, which was not only to capture Taoist Shen, but also to attack Taoist Shen's reputation and prestige.
This method is actually very useful. Because according to the understanding of most true practitioners, discussion among monks is also a way to solve problems. People with good Taoism and Dharma have always been considered to be more reasonable.
If Taoist Shen wants to stand up for everyone, it is impossible not to respond. If he wins, it will be easy to say that it will give people more confidence. But if he loses, he will have no face to bring up the matter of returning to the court. Especially Taoist Bi Ming is still a strange person. If Taoist Shen loses, it will be a great humiliation for him.
He said: "What do fellow Taoists think?"
Bi Mingdao said: "Chong Tingzhi has already told his subordinates why he did this, and the subordinates are also willing. I just don't know if Tingzhi allows it?"
Zhang Yu nodded slightly and said, "Are you confident, fellow Taoist?"
Although Bi Ming has now cultivated to the realm of Jixu, and his achievements in Taoism are the same as those of Taoist Shen, Taoist Shen has been practicing Taoism for more years than him, and he has been cultivating at the upper level for so many years, so his achievements must be better than his. To be profound.
Bi Mingdao said: "When Chong Tingzhi came to see his subordinates, he said that he had made some calculations and thought that if his subordinates went to fight, there would still be some enemies. Moreover, Chong Tingzhi also gave his subordinates a 'talisman', but Help your subordinates avoid some Taoist magical powers in advance. Zhong Tingzhi also gave his subordinates a jade chip, saying that it can attract people's minds and guide them, and help them avoid disasters."
Zhang Yu's heart moved slightly and he thought: "So that's it."
He reached out and took it, and a vibrant emerald green leaf fell into his hand from the void. This was a green leaf that fell from Yimu. It could strengthen the defense. He raised his heart and gave it away. Went to Bi Ming's place.
Generally, the magic weapons given by outsiders are not easy to use, because they are not compatible with the master, and there is no chance to use them in battle. Even if they are used reluctantly, it is easy for others to be wary of them in advance and plan for them.
However, this defensive leaf can protect the body anytime and anywhere without any hindrance. However, it was used in this one battle and disappeared afterwards.
He said: "Fellow Taoist, please take this thing and go."
Taoist Bi Ming took Qingye and knew that he had agreed. He bowed solemnly and left.
He came outside the Dao Palace, jumped up, and flew away to where the Dao Palace of Shen Dao Ren was. But in the middle of the way, rays of light descended from the void and fell on him. You could faintly see everyone behind him. Ting Zhi's figure.
Zhang Yu looked at this scene and knew that there would be no problem in discussing the law this time. On the surface, Shen Daoren would be discussing the law with Bi Ming, but in fact he was fighting against many court officials. Shen Daoren refused this time The court officials have good intentions, but they want to make things worse. How can the court officials make things easier for him?
