Chapter 741: Chapter 158-self-condemnation (1)
Translator: 549690339
Yun Lu Institute, headmaster Zhao Shou, third-grade great scholar.
The number one scholar of the scholarly faction.
Zhao Shou didn’t just represent himself, he represented the entire Yun Lu Academy and all the scholars that walked the scholarly path.
Therefore, he had come with a carving knife.
Emperor Yuan jing’s face turned pale when he saw the carving knife. Ever since he had ascended the throne, this was the first time that he had been threatened with death in the throne room.
“How did you enter the capital? how did you enter the palace.”
Emperor Yuan jing fell back into the dragon Throne and pointed at him, agitated. supervisor, supervisor, quickly come and protect the Emperor!!
A large group of Imperial Army soldiers charged out of the throne room, but they were blocked by a barrier of clear light.
“The Confucians don’t kill the Emperor, they only kill thieves!”
Zhao Shouts face was filled with fearlessness. “On behalf of the Confucians, Zhao Shou wants two promises from you. The first promise is that you will admit to your crimes immediately. The second promise is that Xu Qi ‘an will seek justice for the people and Lord Zheng is not guilty. You will be rewarded by the Imperial edict and admit that he is not guilty. He will not harm his family.”
Emperor Yuan jing’s face was livid. He slowly swept his gaze across the hall, but none of the scholars from the Imperial College came forward to refute. Unknowingly, the Directorate and the Yun Lu Academy had also come together?
“It’s fine if you want His Majesty to issue an edict of self-condemnation, but why are you protecting Xu Qi ‘an?”
Zhao Shou smiled and announced, “”1 didn’t tell you, but Xu ningyan is my official disciple.”
What?
Everyone in the court was dumbfounded. The night watchman, Xu Qi ‘an, was actually the official disciple of the Yunlu Academy’s principal, Zhao Shou?
He … He is actually a scholar of our scholarly faction?
As expected of a poem chief …
Sure enough, how could a person who could write so many excellent works not be a scholar …
One of us …
All kinds of thoughts flashed through the minds of the Dukes.
Wei Yuan frowned and looked at Zhao Shou with suspicion.
“You want me to forgive the traitor who killed the Duke? You want me to continue to indulge him in being an official in the court? Ha, hahahahahahahahahahahahaha …”
Zhao Shou’s request seemed to have completely angered Emperor Yuan jing, causing him to fall into a half-crazy state and laugh like a madman.
“Zhao Shou, I am the Emperor of a country, the Son of Heaven. You really dare to kill me? This one will use my life to bet with you on the fate of the scholarly faction.”
The crazed Emperor Yuan jing kicked over the table and walked quickly on the Xumi seat. He pointed at Zhao Shou and scolded, “”You’re going too far, you’re going too far. I still have the supervisor. I don’t believe he will sit by and watch you attack.”
He didn’t believe that Zhao Shou would risk his life for such a small matter. He Imew that Zhao Shou’s lifelong wish was to bring glory to the cloud deer Institute.
He also did not believe that the director would sit by and do nothing when the Emperor was killed, unless the Directorate of Celestials wanted to cut off the fate of Da Feng, unless the director did not want to be a first-grade magician.
After being threatened by the officials and Zhao Shou, Emperor Yuan jing was on the verge of exploding.
At this moment, a ray of light rushed into the hall and transformed into the image of an old man in white clothes and a white beard in the air.
“Yuan jing, state your crimes!”
Emperor Yuan jing’s mind was shaken. He staggered back and fell into the dragon Throne.
His eyes were dull and his face was dejected. He looked like an old man who had been abandoned and a loser who had been deserted by his friends and family.
He finally knew why Wei Yuan and chief advisor Wang had been able to contact hundreds of officials and force him to issue an edict of his own crimes. He also knew why Zhao Shou had dared to enter the capital and force him to issue an edict of his own crimes.
All of this was done at the director’s behest.
After saying this, the white-robed old man slowly dissipated.
The hall fell into a deathly silence.
Zhao Shou broke the silence.”He already disdains to be an official in the court.” Who was he?
Naturally, it was referring to the man who shouted that he was not an official.
Emperor Yuan jing sat there in a daze like an old man.
Stargazing tower, Eight Trigrams stage.
Xu Qi ‘an, who was dressed in plain clothes, stood proudly in the direction of the palace. He lifted his wine pot and smiled. “A pot of wine for all the ups and downs of ancient and modern times.” look at how smug you are. Without a teacher to clean up your mess, let’s see if you can get anything good out of this.
A girl in a yellow dress was sitting cross-legged at the table. She had an oval face and big eyes. She was sweet and cute. Her cheeks were full of food, like a cute hamster.
“How are Miao Zhen, Chu Yuanyou, and master Hengyuan?”
Xu Qi ‘an laughed and did not care about Chu Caiwei’s sarcasm.
“In a few more days, my injuries will be completely healed.” Li Caiwei frowned and complained, I’m so tired. They don’t need senior brother song’s help to treat their injuries.
They were afraid that they would become test subjects … Xu Qian said.
He didn’t say anything else, reminiscing about yesterday’s events.
That day, he came to si Tianguan and asked Cai Wei to pass on a message to the director:Wei Yuan and chief advisor Wang wanted to join forces with the officials to force Emperor yuanjing to admit to his crimes, hoping that the supervisor would help.
Without the approval of the great Guardian, Emperor yuanjing would not have been able to reach an agreement with more than two-thirds of the officials in a day.
The supervisor agreed.
After that, Xu Qi ‘an blocked the officials at the meridian Gate and took away Duke Cao and the country protecting Duke, que Yongxiu.
Killing the two thieves was only the beginning. Wei Yuan and chief advisor Wang wanted Emperor yuanjing to admit his guilt. This was the end.
Of course, if Lord Wei and chief advisor Wang chose to stand by and do nothing, Xu Qi ‘an would kill the two thieves and comfort Zheng xinghuai and the souls of the 380000 wronged souls in Chuzhou City.
Then, he would leave the capital with his family and travel far away.
Yesterday, he had made a trip to the Yunlu Academy and informed Zhao Shou of his plan. Zhao Shou didn’t agree with the decision to leave the pugilistic world because Xu niannian was the only Yunlu Academy student who had entered the Hanlin Academy and become the Prime Minister.
That was why director Zhao entered the palace and threatened Emperor Yuan jing.
I’m no longer an official … Although I still have my connections, it’ll be difficult to use the power of the Imperial court, and my official career will be cut off. It’ll be impossible for me to climb up, so I’ll have to rely on other powers when I have a showdown with the mastermind behind the scenes.”
Xu Qi ‘an thought for a while and made a new development plan.Big Boss + personal strength.
“The members of the Tiandi society are one of the people I can rely on. Li
Miaozhen and Chu Yuanyou have fourth-grade combat strength, and master Hengyuan is an eighth-grade monk. But according to Chu Yuanyou, the master’s explosive power and endurance are excellent.
“I can’t accurately estimate Lina’s combat strength. She’s slightly inferior to Hengyuan, but Daoist Golden Lotus said that she’s the only genius in the group who can be compared to me.
number one’s identity is still unknown for the time being. Let’s not worry about it for now. Number nine, Golden Lotus Daoist priest, is one of the big shots that I can befriend. There are still many Daoist priests from the earth sect who have not joined the devil behind him.
therefore, we have to help Golden Lotus keep the nine-colored Lotus.
As for number seven and number eight, it was said that the former was the Holy Son of the heavenly sect, li Miaozhen’s senior brother. She didn’t know where he was at the moment, so li Miaozhen hesitated and didn’t want to talk about him. Later, when she was annoyed by the questions, she said,”that guy is as bad as you. It’s just that he got his retribution, but you haven’t. But one day, you will follow in his footsteps.”
Number eight was in seclusion, and no one knew if he was still alive or not.
“Other than the Golden Lotus Daoist, Wei Yuan is the only person I can trust. The supervisor is too difficult to figure out, and all the goodwill he’s showing now may not be true. Nothing could be trusted before his true purpose was revealed.
“Even master Shen Shu is more trustworthy than Jian Zheng, but he’s in a deep sleep now and won’t wake up for a while. After that, the Buddhist sect’s master du ‘e can barely be considered as half a support. If I’m really forced into a dead end, I’ll escape into the void sect. No, Shen Shu is in my body. Going to Buddhism is a dead end.
“The head of the human sect, Luo Yuheng, has some friendship with the Golden Lotus, but we don’t have a good relationship, so I can’t count on him.” After concluding, Xu Qi ‘an made a list of tasks in his heart:
The big shots that he could rely on and trust were the Golden Lotus Daoist priest (Heaven and Earth Society) and Wei Yuan.
The big shots who were suspected to be reliable were Shen Shu and Jian Zheng.
The big shots that could be won over were Luo Yuheng and Arhat du ‘e.

“After the Chuzhou City massacre case is over, I’ll keep a low profile and try my best to advance to rank-5. This won’t be too difficult, I’ve already touched the threshold of rank-5. “However, rank-5 is not enough. I can only truly protect myself when I reach rank-4.
“We can also figure out Emperor yuanjing’s attitude through the situation of Erlang and second uncle. If they had the intention to take revenge, they would leave the capital immediately. The best outcome would be for me to leave the capital after advancing to the fourth stage. If I leave the capital now, I can only rely on Daoist priest Golden Lotus, and I can’t count on the other big shots at all.
As his thoughts ran wild, the supervisor, who was sitting by the table, slowly opened his eyes and said, “His Majesty has agreed to the self-admonishment edict.”
Hu … Xu Qi ‘an felt relieved.
“It’s a pity that we can’t force Emperor yuanjing to abdicate. The old Emperor has been in charge of the court for many years and his Foundation is still there. Don’t look at how the Dukes are forcing him to admit his crimes now, if they really want to force him to abdicate, most people will not support it. The interests involved, the changes in the political situation, and so on were too wide.
Well, one can’t be greedy. This is the result I want.” He thought.
The supervisor lowered his head and looked at the table. His disciple’s filial dishes with wine had entered his disciple’s stomach. He felt a little melancholic.
“Caiwei ah, master only went to the palace to watch a show …” The supervisor sighed.
“Then who told you to watch the show by yourself?” Yan Caiwei said coyly, lingying, Lina, and I eat fast. Even six-year-old kids know that.
The supervisor didn’t want to say anything.
“Why don’t I see senior brother yang?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.
“He was suppressed underground by teacher and accompanied by Senior Sister Zhong Li,” Yan Caiwei answered.
What had the act tough King done to anger the supervisor? Xu Qian thought. “Teacher, senior brother song asked me to ask you something.”
Hearing this, the supervisor was silent for a moment. he wants the death row prisoners to do alchemy experiments again? ‘
Yan Caiwei shook her head.
Just as the supervisor heaved a sigh of relief, he heard his little disciple say, he said that he wanted to go to the human sect to learn from a master, but you are his teacher. He does not dare to make his own decision, so he needs your permission.
. “What’s his reason?” the supervisor asked slowly.
“Senior brother song’s human body is at the final step. His primordial spirit can’t merge with his body. He’s very vexed and can’t sleep or eat in peace. Daoism is an expert in the primordial soul domain, and he wants to learn
Daoist spells.”
Yan Caiwei said as she ate, but senior brother song said that his heart is still with you, and he hopes that you won’t be jealous.
The supervisor didn’t say anything. He glanced at Chu Caiwei, whose lips were glistening with oil, and then thought of Zhong Li and yang qianhuan who were
suppressed underground- He turned his head silently and looked at the capital city, which was full of flowers, and sighed in desolation.
It was not worth it.
Xu Qi ‘an quickly covered her mouth and almost laughed.
The bedchamber was a mess.
The curtains were torn off, the incense burner was toppled, the calligraphy and paintings were torn to pieces, the table was overturned, and the gold and silver utensils were scattered all over the ground.
Emperor Yuan jing stood in the ‘ruins’, wearing a wide-sleeved robe and his hair messy.
Thirty-seven years after he ascended the throne, his dignity was ruthlessly trampled under the feet of the ministers today. To a proud king who claimed to be at the peak of power, the blow was too great.
Even an ordinary person would go crazy after being humiliated like this, let alone an Emperor.
“Your Majesty …”
The old eunuch came in from the door and called out in fear.
Emperor Yuan jing looked at him coldly.
“The Lords have not left. They are still gathered in the throne room.” The old eunuch said in a low voice.
“What are they doing? what else are they not satisfied with? Didn’t this one agree to their request?”
Emperor Yuan jing waved his hands agitatedly and roared with all his might.
The old eunuch’s Imees went weak and he knelt on the ground. He said sorrowfully, “”Wang zhenwen and Wei Yuan said that the court will not end until the self-admonishing decree is seen.”
Emperor Yuan jing’s body swayed and he staggered a few steps back. He suddenly felt a pain in his chest and a fishy taste rolled in his throat.
On this day, just after lunch, the Imperial court put up a notice for the first time.
The Imperial City gate, inner city gate, outer city gate, twelve city gates, twelve noticeboards were pasted with Emperor Yuan jing’s self-condemnation.
In the 37 years of Emperor yuanjing’s reign, this was the first time he had issued an edict to punish himself.
On this day, all levels of the capital were in an uproar..
