Chapter 601: Suppressing Hundreds of Officials (6000)

Xu Qi’an?

This name echoed in the minds of the group of ministers, causing people to blush slightly and recall many bad memories.

Blocking the Noon Gate to open a group mockery; blocking the Noon Gate to kill the State Duke; beheading the former Emperor …….

Watching him jump up and down and strut his stuff, there was nothing to be done about it.

In the past, it was Wei Yuan who sheltered this person and allowed him to be so arrogant and domineering. Later, Wei Yuan died, and at that time, many people in the courtroom were waiting for Emperor Yuan Jing to liquidate this person.

Sit back and wait for him to be killed.

The cacophony of voices rose all at once, and the princes looked at each other, whispering to each other and asking for something, while some kept shaking their heads, indicating that they had not received the appropriate information.

Xu New Year stood at the end of the line, heard the most is “he is not out of the capital”, “when to come back”, “this God damned dog only to come back for what” this kind of words.

The party leaders such as the Secretary of the Da Lisi’s face sank.

Zhang Xingying twisted his head in shock and looked at Liu Hong. Several members of the former Wei Party did likewise.

Xu Qi’an is back?

It’s amazing that they didn’t get half the news.

That guy went back to the capital, it s good to go back to the capital ……… At this moment, in the hearts of the former Wei Party members, they are actually incredibly solid.

The corner of Yongxing Emperor’s mouth picked up, signaling the eunuch with his eyes to remain silent, deliberately not interrupting the clamor of the eunuchs.

A group of old foxes, to cure you come …….. Yongxing Emperor is refreshed, only feel these days of depression, all swept away.

Waiting for the clamor in the hall to rest a little, Yongxing Emperor slowly opened his mouth and said:

“As far as I know, Xu Yinluo left the capital a long time ago and traveled the rivers and lakes. How come he’s back again?”

Liu Hong said in a loud voice:

“Xu Yinluo traveled the rivers and lakes, witnessed the people’s livelihood is difficult, the heart of compassion, every time to recall Wei Gong’s teaching, can not help but weep, so stopped traveling the rivers and lakes.

“I want to take charge of the night watchman on behalf of the Duke of Wei and return a clear sky to the court.”

All the honored nobles and princes, their faces changed wildly, and they shouted:

“Your Majesty, no!”

“Xu Qi’an is a martial artist, how can he be in charge of a night watchman.”

“This son is unruly, when he was serving in the Yamen, he dared to break into the palace, if he is in charge of the night watchman, the dynasty and the field, there will be no peace.”

On the spot, more than half of the princes in the hall, expressed their opposition, and the vehemence of their sentiments was many times more exaggerated than if they had been compelled to contribute.

Among the Lords, almost all of them voted against it.

This shows how unpopular that martial artist surnamed Xu is.

Of course, there were those among the princes who agreed, such as members of the former Wei Party and some members of the Wang Party.

The latter’s mood is much more complicated, Xu Qi’an is Wei Yuan’s beloved, undoubtedly belongs to the Wei Party, in the past, the Wang Party put their lives on the line to stop Xu Qi’an from taking charge of the beaters.

But now ……..

Everyone knew that Erlang Xu was Chief Minister Wang’s future son-in-law.

With this relationship, it seemed that this arrogant and domineering martial artist could be an ally again.

Xu Qi an this dog is back ………. The face of the Minister of Justice could be described as a mixture of flavors.

He surnamed Xu Wu Fu, can be said to love and hate, love because this person is extremely high utilization value, hate because this dog wrote a poem scolding him, before also repeatedly bad his good deeds.

Old enemies.

But it has to be recognized that at the moment, only this dog can hold down a full court.

“Pop!”

The eunuch whipped his whip, striking the shiny, recognizable ground with a crisp sound.

Yongxing Emperor swept his eyes over the group of ministers and faintly said:

“The watchmen picket the hundred officials and guard the palace and the royal family, and it is up to me to decide who will command the watchmen.

“When is it the turn of the Secretaries to overstep their bounds?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the Duke of Dingguo step out from the ranks of the nobles and said in a deep voice:

“Your Majesty think twice.”

The Duke of Dingguo was about fifty years old, wearing an eight-beam crown on his head, a red robe, a jade belt around his waist, and a cloud and phoenix four-color flower brocade ribbon.

Despite being half a hundred years old, his eyes are bright and alert, his blood is strong and he doesn’t look old, and it seems that he has a good cultivation.

The Duke of Dingguo’s voice was neutral:

“Your Majesty cannot appoint a regicide to be in charge of the night watchman.”

Seeing that someone touched on this taboo topic, the ministers in the hall were quiet.

The Duke of Dingguo continued:

“The father is the principle of the son, the late Emperor is after all His Majesty’s father, and if His Majesty appoints Xu Qi’an to be in charge of the night watchman, a hundred years from now, there will be a note in the history books, and I’m afraid it won’t be good for His Majesty’s reputation.

“The court will certainly give rise to dissension.”

He said this in a very euphemistic way, meaning that, if you appoint a person who killed his father’s enemy to be a big official, and this matter is rumored, it will not sound good in any way. In the future, it will also be written down in the history books, so that you will be criticized and criticized by your descendants.

The Yongxing Emperor cared most about reputation.

“Your Majesty, Duke Dingguo has a point, so I hope to think twice.”

“This matter, alas, is not indeed proper, Your Majesty.”

The group of ministers agreed.

Just when the crowd was talking and the group was excited, Emperor Yongxing faintly said:

“Xu Yinluo entered the palace this morning, come on, invite him to the palace.”

The protests were suddenly gone, and the hall was so silent that you could hear a pin drop.

You invited all the people into the palace, why didn’t you say so earlier ………. The eunuchs looked at Emperor Yongxing in a daze, and the expression on their faces seemed to read:

You’re playing us?

No one’s talking.

The Duke of Dingguo froze there, in and out of a dilemma.

Xu New Year at the entrance to the temple reached out to cover his mouth before he could keep himself from laughing out loud.

The public officials objected strongly and called for regicide, but once they heard that their elder brother had already entered the palace, they immediately did not dare to speak.

It’s like a one-sided curse through the wall, not expecting the other side to move a ladder over the wall, on the spot goat half.

In the suffocating silence, the males in the temple heard footsteps crossing the high threshold.

There were sideways glances, only to see a gorgeous green coat striding in, calm temperament, gentle gaze, in a trance, the crowd nearly thought that the great green coat of the past had returned from the dead.

In the silence, the sound of footsteps echoed unhurriedly, walking before the imperial seat and to the side of the Duke of Ding.

Ta-da!

Xu Qi’an stopped and looked sideways at Duke Ding, saying:

“I have heard of the execution of a thief, but I have not heard of regicide.

“What does the Duke of Ding think?”

Duke Dingguo’s face was on fire, embarrassed and humiliated, and he forced himself to hum:

“Xu Qi’an, you ……..”

Before the words were finished, he suddenly fell to his knees.

Xu Qi’an snorted, “Mere mortals are not worthy to speak to me.”

With a wave of his hand, he swept Duke Ding out and fainted on the spot.

Duke of the State, actually suffered such humiliation in the temple ………. On the spot, there was a royal family clan who couldn’t stand it and drank:

“Xu Qi’an, within the Golden Palace, will you be allowed to commit murder!”

This angry shout was extremely loud, and the ministers outside the hall heard it clearly, and they all raised their heads and looked towards the hall.

“Xu Qi’an actually struck inside the Golden Palace?”

“Ridiculous, the Golden Palace is the place where His Majesty and the princes deliberate, the core of the dynasty, and Xu Yinluo is too incommunicado.”

“This piker, getting more and more bold, who will be able to restrain him in the future?”

The group of ministers outside the hall muttered, and some of the civil officials who respected Xu Qi’an also felt that Xu Yinluo was too impulsive and degrading.

At that moment, they heard Xu Yinluo’s maniacal laughter coming from within the hall:

“When I broke into the Golden Palace with a sword and executed Yuan Jing, how come you didn’t blame me for committing murder in front of the palace?

“Yuan Jing colluded with the Witch God Cult and attempted to subvert the foundation left behind by the old ancestor, and Xu Mou decapitated him, but in your eyes, he became a regicide?

“I killed off the allied forces of Yan and Kang at the Yu Yang Pass and beheaded the dim-witted ruler Yuan Jing on the outskirts of the capital, which saved the Great Feng’s kingdom from being eroded by the Witch God Cult, and that’s just so that you bunch of losers can siphon off the people’s fat and wealth?

“A mere Duke of State dares to talk presumptuously about me in the hall, and he doesn’t think about whose credit it is that he can still stand in the hall and flaunt his power.”

The hall was silent.

The two sides of the Dan陛, as well as the Beijing officials in the square looked at each other.

Someone muttered, “What’s a hit on the Duke of State, and two more were beheaded in the vegetable market.”

“That’s right, Xu Yinluo has contributed greatly to the countryside and is not inferior to the Duke of Wei of that year, how can he allow a Duke of State to denigrate and criticize.”

“Nowadays, the world is not at peace with the displaced people in various parts of the country, and the country can only be stabilized by having a third-ranked martial artist to sit on the throne. Your Majesty and all the princes should understand how to choose if they still have any sense.”

The civil officials who esteemed Xu Qi’an spoke up, while the officials who resented him were silent.

Inside the hall, Xu Qi’an stood with his hands in the air, his sharp gaze sweeping over the dukes, lords, and clansmen, and he kindly laughed:

“I didn’t die nine deaths to preserve the Great Bong community just to raise you losers.

“Today, whether you agree or not, the office of the night watchman will be under my control. Those who are stubborn will not blame me for being impolite.”

The ministers in the temple, their faces are blue, secretly gnashing their teeth, but there is nothing they can do.

The name of a man is the shadow of a tree, this piker has killed princes and beheaded emperors, and when he goes berserk, he does not recognize his six relatives.

Expecting the rules of the officialdom and the laws of Da Bong to restrain him is simply delusional.

If this person is in charge of the night watchman, the entire officialdom will let him knead ……….. Thinking about this, many people in the hall have already sprouted the idea of resignation.

There is no point in mixing in such an officialdom, and it is a terrible thing to have an unruly person in control of the officialdom.

Xu Qi’an turned his words around and said:

“If all of you are willing to assist His Majesty with all your heart and diligence for the people, Mister Xu will naturally not make things difficult for you. On the contrary, yesterday for Duke Cao and Duke Protector is tomorrow for you all.”

The hall was silent, no one retorted, no one responded.

The absence of sound is also an attitude.

The lords and princes looked resigned, but perhaps Xu Qi’an’s last words had played a small role, and their emotions were quite stable for the time being.

One person to subdue the hundred officials, today’s Dafeng, in addition to the Supervisor, only Xu Qi’an can do it ……….. Seeing this, Yongxing Emperor smiled and warmed up:

“There is Xu Aiqing sitting in the town of the night watchman Yamen, I will be relieved, in the future, but also to trouble Xu Aiqing more to assist me.

“Retire from the court.”

He got up with a smile on his face and left the Golden Palace with his personal eunuch.

At the end of the court, the civil and military officials walked in silence on the square, Liu Hong and Wang Shoufu stood on the Danzhi of the Golden Palace overlooking, and all the officials hung their heads, as if they had suffered a defeat.

Xu Qi’an came out of the hall and nodded at the two men.

Chief Minister Wang also nodded and asked, “How is the collection of dragon qi going?”

Xu Qi’an sighed, “A long way to go.”

Chief Minister Wang remained silent for a moment, bowed deeply, and turned to leave.

“Lord Liu, find a place to drink?”

Xu Qi’an smiled and said, “It just so happens that there are some things to ask Lord Liu.”

Liu Hong smiled back and rejected Xu Qi’an’s offer:

“Drinking is even better, if this is impeached, a month’s salary will be gone.

“Let’s go to the night watchman’s court, and we’ll have a chat with tea instead of wine.”

……….

Haoqi Building, seventh floor tea room.

Xu Qi’an sat behind the case and flirted with Zhang Xingying and Liu Hong as they raised their glasses:

“Congratulations to Senior Zhang on his high promotion, listen to the music at the Hook tonight, your treat.”

Liu Hong snickered, “With Xu Yinluo’s status, of course you have to choose to drink flower wine in the Church Department, how is it to go to the hookah.”

Xu Qi’an shook his head, “Before Fu Xiang died, I promised her that I would no longer go to the Department of the Church.”

Liu Hong and Zhang Xingying looked at each other and each sighed.

Not sighing floating incense red face thin life, they sigh is a sea of change, things are not the same.

Zhang Xingying was particularly touched when he went to Yunzhou to investigate the case with the respect of the governor.

At that time, Xu Qi’an was just a tiny gong, at the peak of the Qi Practicing Realm, on his way to impact the God Refining Realm.

In just one year’s time, Duke Wei died, Emperor Yuan Jing died, and the little gong at the beginning has now transcended into the saints and become a truly great man.

“There is something I would like to trouble Lord Liu with.”

Xu Qi’an put down his teacup, his tone solemn:

“You know I’m collecting dragon qi, they are scattered all over the Central Plains, trying to gather them all in a short time is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Originally, it was the least laborious and most effective for the government to step in.

“But now that the disaster is severe everywhere, I’m afraid it’s difficult for the government to do a good job of gathering intelligence, and it’s easy for hostile forces to pick the peaches. I need the help of a more covert and effective intelligence organization.”

Liu Hong caught on, “You want to hit the shifters in the dark?”

Seeing Xu Qi’an nod his head, Liu Hong shook his head with a grave expression on his face:

“I didn’t inherit the dark son of a night watchman.”

Xu Qi’an froze for a moment, “What?”

Liu Hong explained:

“After I took over the Watchman’s Yamen, I went to the case files library to look for the dossier documenting the layout of the Dark Sons around the world, but found that it had long since disappeared.

“The official in charge of guarding the case store told me that Lord Wei had taken it before he left for his journey.”

Xu Qi’an frowned, “Duke Wei, removed the dossiers of those darkies?”

Liu Hong nodded, “I originally thought that he would entrust you with the secret of the night watchman, but now it seems that Wei Gong has other plans.”

Xu Qi’an lightly tapped his fingers on the tabletop and slowly said, “Who do the two lords think that Lord Wei entrusted it to?”

Liu Hong and Zhang Xingying looked at each other and both shook their heads.

Xu Qi’an was a bit disappointed and frowned for a long time before turning to say:

“I’ll be leaving the capital tomorrow, so I’ll trouble Lord Liu to continue to bother with the matter of the night watchman’s office.

“And don’t forget to write a folded letter to tell Emperor Yongxing, so that he doesn’t have to worry that I, a martial artist, will hold the Emperor hostage.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xingying and Liu Hong shook their heads in unison and laughed.

As of now, it was impossible for His Majesty to really let Xu Qi’an take charge of the office of the night watchman.

The most basic rule in the emperor’s mental skill is “balance”. Xu Qi’an can suppress the civil and military officials, but who can suppress Xu Qi’an?

Such an existence that no one could check and balance, Yongxing Emperor would never let him hold real power in his hands, otherwise he would not even sleep peacefully.

Xu Qi’an was acting as an instrumentalist in this matter.

Mainly, his current center of gravity was not in the imperial court or the capital.

“Unsurprisingly, there will be a small pilgrimage before lunch, at which time the donation can be finalized.”

“It’s a good thing.”

Xu Qi’an said.

It’s a good thing, so he’s willing to be the toolman.

After a few moments of small talk, Xu Qi’an got up to take his leave and walked to the entrance of the tea room, stopping and glancing back at the tea room whose furnishings had not changed in any way.

Suddenly, he remembered that last winter, he had just joined the night watchman not long ago and had just embraced Wei Yuan’s thigh.

Whenever I came here to see Wei Yuan, I was apprehensive.

“The human face does not know where to go, the peach blossom still smiles at the spring wind …….. Find Brother Chun and Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao for a few drinks.”

………..

The court has just finished, Xu Yinluo in the Palace of the Golden Palace to beat the Duke of Dingguo, angrily reprimanded the dukes of the news, in the capital of the officialdom has not been spread.

More than a month has passed since Emperor Yuan Jing was beheaded.

This period of time, Xu Yinluo low-profile, never appeared in public, about him, the capital of the people say a lot of things.

It is rumored in the marketplace that Xu Yinluo was not tolerated by the imperial court because he killed the dim king and was forced to wander the rivers and lakes.

Others said that he was dying of serious injuries in that earth-shattering battle, so he closed down to recuperate.

Not to mention the marketplace, in fact, even the officialdom, many level is not enough Beijing officials do not know Xu Yinluo’s movements.

And now that he has reappeared, he has done something straight away that has shocked the court.

“Xu Yinluo has finally come out; this official has said that he is the conscience of the Dafeng, and that if the gentlemen do not donate, someone will naturally force them to do so.”

“The cold plague is severe everywhere, and the people are suffering, so Xu Yinluo can’t sit still.”

“As long as Xu Yinluo is around, there is still hope for Da Bong.”

“Xu Yinluo has finally been reinstated to his official position, I’m very excited.”

Once the news spread, the loyalists who supported the donation were so energized that they no longer had to worry about the attitude of their peers, no longer had to be afraid of committing public anger, and dared to make their position known in a dignified manner.

Sure enough, before lunch, the Cabinet spread the news that His Majesty had decided to call for donations from all the officials in three days, and no one from all the princes had obstructed the process.

…………

Jingxiu Palace.

As lunch approached, Noble Consort Chen sat in the warmth of the chamber, frequently looking at the doorway.

“Why hasn’t His Majesty come yet?”

The graceful noble consort glanced at her daughter on the side and said, “I don’t know if that Xu Qi’an’s appearance will work or not.”

Linan subconsciously said, “Of course it works, who is afraid of him ……..”

Suddenly the floor floor up pretty face, pretended indifference: “His business, with me what, I have long drawn a line with him.”

Noble Consort Chen scrutinized her for a moment, and somewhat strangely averted her gaze as she continued to look at the doorway.

The matter of this morning’s pilgrimage has long been rumored and naturally cannot be hidden from Noble Consort Chen.

Learning that Xu Qi’an had stepped in to help, Noble Consort Chen was shocked and delighted, she knew very well that the only person who could help Emperor Yongxing now was Xu Qi’an.

The reason why he is willing to help, in the final analysis, most of the time, it is for the sake of Lin’an right ………. Noble Consort Chen withdrew her gaze and turned to her daughter, a hint of complexity in her eyes.

Yongxing Emperor’s figure appeared in the courtyard, striding through it and entering the house.

Noble Consort Chen had long been standing at the door waiting, and the first words of the meeting were an urgent inquiry:

“How?”

Yongxing Emperor knew what she was referring to and smiled, “Three days later, I will personally call on all officials to make donations, and send out a diary to all states for officials to make donations, as well as call on the country squires to donate money and food.”

A big stone fell from Chen Guifei’s heart, revealing a bright smile:

“Your Majesty is hungry, the dishes have been prepared, mother consort will have her servants bring them now.”

Holding the Yongxing Emperor’s hand and going to the table to sit down, the beautiful woman’s face was unceasingly smiling:

“His Majesty will finally be able to rest easy for a while, and Mother Consort is happy in her heart that this matter is thanks to Xu Qi’an. Although Mother Consort doesn’t like him, she still has to acknowledge his favor.”

Lin An’s round and bright googly-eyed face then revealed a sweet smile.

Yongxing Emperor was in an extremely good mood and joked:

“also have to bear Lin’an’s love, to not Lin’an ah, I am now sure to struggle, this emperor when the wimpy.”

“It has nothing to do with me.” Immediately, Lin An put away his smile and imitated Huai Qing’s cold and indifferent demeanor.

The Yongxing Emperor, amused and bewildered, said, “What’s wrong with His Highness Lin’an?”

“It’s nothing, it’s just that there’s no more involvement with that Xu Yin Gong, so in the future, the Emperor’s brother shouldn’t misunderstand or think that I’m just not clear with him.” Lin An maintained a cold expression.

Not to mention, her cold and merciless stance immediately transformed a charming and affectionate woman into a high-cooled and sexy little imperial sister.

Seeing that her daughter’s mood was not right, Noble Consort Chen said, “Alright, have your meal first.”

Mentally, he decided to ask her quietly after the meal.

………..

Dexin Court.

An elegantly furnished study, hung with paintings and calligraphy and decorated with porcelain and jade plates.

Huaiqing sat behind the case and nodded slightly as he listened to the head guard’s report:

“When he steps in, there will no longer be any problem with the donation.”

The head guard’s tone was a bit agitated, “His Majesty handed over the night watchman’s office to Xu Yinluo, Your Highness, you need to have extra Xu Yinluo to come and go, with your friendship with him, the night watchman will be yours sooner or later.”

Huaiqing sniffed, her eyebrows slightly knitted, and corrected in a cold tone:

“I’m on a different path from him.”

Having said this, and seeming unwilling to say a word more about him, he turned over the books which lay on his left hand, drew out a list of names, and commanded:

“Send invitations to the lords on the list for this palace, and do it covertly.”

These are the officials she has elected through this event, after observing it.

………..

Xu Qi’an, who was supposed to be the center of attention, was currently holding a small mare and walking on the official road outside the capital.

On the back of the horse sat the king’s consort with mediocre posture, her body swaying gently as her mount walked.

Being knocked into the cold palace for many days, Mu Nanjian finally saw the light of day.

“It’s so hard ah, there’s something in front of me that makes me uncomfortable ……. It’s ho-hum.”

The little white fox in her arms chirped.

Oh, and Shirahime has seen the light of day again, too.

“Nanjia ah …….”

Mu Nanjian folded her hands, her tone was joyless and sad:

“Scholar Xu, monks do not speak their names, and Taoists do not speak their lives. The poor monk has already vanished into the void, so you may no longer address the poor monk by his past name.”

Xu Qi’an corrected, “You should call yourself a poor nun.”

Want you tube! Mu Nanjia nearly broke, took a deep breath, and faintly said:

“Just feel free to do as you please, Schizo.”

She’s looked like this since she came out of the Floating Pagoda.

The first thing you can do is to put your hands together and recite a Buddha’s name to show that you have become a monk, and that you are done with the scummy man who stole your wife’s best friend.

“Nan gardenia, rare return to the capital, we buy some more books to bring, you travel boredom then turn over. This book ah, still the capital city’s most beautiful.” Xu Qi An suggested.

Mu Nanjia recited a Buddha’s name: “The poor nun does not have that kind of worldly desire.”

She was a quick learner and changed her name.

“None of that worldly desire.”

Paige chimed in.

What kind of sin have I created? The fish pond has been blown up, and every fish is in the state of being cut off from me ……… State Master ah State Master, you also do not blame me for so bad a few days ago, so that you have so many shameful poses, it is all a payback ……… By the way, I have to take advantage of the coming of tomorrow before I sneak out of the capital, otherwise my life is in danger!

After walking for a few moments, Qing Yun Mountain was in sight.

He had come to the Cloud Deer Academy this time to find Dean Zhao Shou and ask the truth about Wei Yuan’s desire to seal the Sorcerer God even at the risk of dying.

In the meantime, I’d like to ask for a few sheets of paper recording the Confucian “Words Follow Laws” spell.

……….

PS: Slightly late update, but lots of words.
