Chapter 695 – I don’t want
The person who made the Saint Emperor, reputed to be the greatest emperor of all time, deliver the crime, was a dead person. Someone who had been dead for more than ten years, yet had not been forgotten.
Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.
The Ming Fa Si was still in the auction, but the Holy Emperor of the Great Xi had already given the order to sin himself.
It just meant that he had too much trust in his son, and that he had been deceived by Chen Zhongqi, which resulted in him being the most loyal subject of Da Xi, the warrior who protected the Great Western Kingdom’s law and fairness. Fang Zheng, the head of the Great Western Ming Fa Si, had died miserably and was even charged with being a traitor.
When this crime was decided, the entire Jinling boiled over. It could be imagined that soon, the entire Da Xi family would be in an uproar. Those who had once scolded Fang Zheng before would feel their heart tremble as well. As for the admirers and followers of Fang Zheng, they would all be filled with pride.
When the news arrived, An Zheng was already at the auction venue, because he had to take this land. When Gu Qianye heard the news of her own crime, she could not help but be stunned for a moment. Then, he looked at An Zheng. Is ieversal for you? “That’s good news.”
The two of them walked along the limestone path. It was raining heavily, and the two people holding the umbrellas seemed to match each other.
An Zheng laughed: “It’s just a situation, do you really think he regrets it?”
An Zheng said as he walked, “A pure white and flawless thing will always be suspected by others. For example, a flawless piece of white jade. People would wonder if it was fake. However, the white jade was flawed, and people would feel that it was priceless. A Daxi Shenghuang who has never made a mistake is a legend, the people will respect him, but they will also doubt him, it’s just that no one will dare to say suching. ”
“Now that the Sacred Emperor has pulled him down from the Divine Altar with a deceitful edict, it actually makes those commoners feel that the Sacred Emperor is even more real. It was hard for people to forgivelative, easy for a stranger, and even easier for an unprecedented Sacred Emperor. They would think that the emperor had been fooled and that he knew nothing at all. After all, he is his son. How could he have thought that his son would do such a heaven angering thing? ”
An Zheng shrugged his shoulders: “So this kind of crime edict will not only not affect our Emperor Daxi Shenghuang’s reputation, but will instead raise his prestige to a new high. People would say, look, even His Majesty, the Holy Emperor of the Great Xixi, knows his wrongs and can change them! Aesult, his prestige would not be damaged, but instead, it would be even higher. The people will have a lot of respect for him and a lot more trust in him. ”
Gu Qianye scoffed, “I thought he really knew she was wrong.”
“The Sacred Emperor can be wrong, but he cannot be wrong. What time is it? The first thing the people from inner world wanted to do was to deal with Da Xi. Furthermore, that Emperor Zhuo Qingdi was too powerful. If he were to deliberately cause trouble, the Da Xi family would definitely be in a huge mess. Perhaps the reason he didn’t want to cause trouble was because he wanted to see blood flow from both sides likiver. Towards those summoner, he might not regard them as his kin … Maybe, whether it’s human or summoner, they are all trash in the eyes of the Emperor Zhuo Qingdi. ”
“Also, Chen Wunuo lost control of his move earlier, so he thought that he could take advantage of Fire Beacon City’s tens of thousands of criminals. However, the truth was, it was too much of a blow to his reputation. Chen Wunuo was clever, so he immediately made uemedy, and this remedy was to commit a crime. “It is never easier to win over a group of criminals than it is to win over a group of upright people to serve him.”
As the two of them walked into the hall, it was clear that the layout had changed. There weren’t many people, and they were all separated from each other by a single room. Although it was open, it seemed to be a sign of greater respect for them.
“There’s a lot less people.”
“This is for buying land.”
An Zheng sat down and waited for the servants to serve him some tea before continuing: “It’s not something that can be bought with money. You have enough Golden-Rank Spirit Stone s, and in this world, there are no tools that you can’t buy. However, this land was different. This place was once the Ming Fa Si, so it was Da Xi’s face. Being so close to the palace, those who do not have the qualifications to enter will not be allowed in. ”
Gu Qianye cried out: “But we are outsiders!”
An Zheng replied, “But our reputation, the status of the Hollow Jade Temple is much higher than those people.”
Gu Qianye curled her lips, and did not say anything in the end.
Before long, they were almost all there. Niu Zhong slowly stepped onto the stage. He first cupped his hands in greeting, then said with a smile: “The previous auction item was complex, with a myriad of products, so the scene was also chaotic. Those who came today were all esteemed guests, and everyone knew that this item was the location of the Ming Fa Si. Everyone knew the reason why this land was being auctioned. The Buddhist country was restless, and the Southern Wilderness was not peaceful either. The imperial government was about to mobilize its troops. To mobilize the troops, we can’t possibly make things difficult for our soldiers. All the money we get from the auction will be our new armors, weapons and logistics support for the warriors of the Great Western Region. ”
“I don’t need to say anything more about this land. It’s already not easy for His Majesty to decide to take it out for auction. ”
He paused, then continued, “Let’s be true. The starting price for this plot of land was three hundred Golden-Rank Spirit Stone. I know, you think the starting price is a bit high. Because this land was not a magic tool, nolixir, nor was it some sort of heavenly material or earthly treasure, it held no significance for cultivation. “Whether you live or die will be up to you. If you have to say that there are benefits, that is, that you will be able to bring honor to yourself.”
To be able to say such words, it was obvious that Niu Zhong was still brooding over the idea of auctioning this land. After all, this was the Ming Fa Si. It represented the fairness of the Great Xi world. Most importantly, Fang Zheng, the head of the Ming Fa Si, was also his good friend.
“So, let’s not talk too much. Those that are willing to bid, we will directly raise the board. If not, then five Golden-Rank Spirit Stone s will be added to the board. Even a large clan might not be able to afford Spirit Stones that were already there. From the auction held a few days ago, only the heavens knew what price this land would fetch … “Alright, those who are willing to bid, please raise your plates.”
An Zheng was not anxious though. He looked around and surprisingly, no one was holding ontlate.
Not far away, a member of the Ning family who had been invited over placed the plate in his hand onto the table, “I won’t bid. This land is for the sake of the Da Xi. Since the emperor is willing to give up his dignity, we can’t be his subjects. If we are talking about lack of military funds, the Ning family is willing to contribute everything I can. As for the land, I won’t buy it. ”
He leaned back and gave up.
The people of the Ning Family gave up. No one from the other big families expressed their opinions.
This matter then became bizarre, and no one bid. If An Zheng were to bid at this time, those big clans would obviously not let him go. They were not doing this just for the sake of His Majesty’s face, but for the sake of Ming Fa Si’s face. Why is His Majesty selling land? It was because the military expenditures were slightly insufficient. If they, as subjects, were to buy land with money and not have the money to contribute …
To them, the Ming Fa Si’s auction wauge trap dug by the Holy Emperor. An Zheng wasn’t a member of a big family, and couldn’t even be considered a member of the Da Xi family. However, those people from the big clans would not. If any one of them were to bid to buy this land, they would be a fool.
The man from Left took out a box and placed it on the table, “This is the contribution that my Left is willing to make to the Da Xi Empire. We will add armor and make weapons for the warriors, three hundred Golden-Rank Spirit Stone, no more no less, no less.
Left was the first to speak, and the Ning Family followed, “We are also willing to take out three hundred Golden-Rank Spirit Stone, but we won’t buy the land.”
The dozen or so clans had obviously discussed this beforehand. Every clan would offer three hundred Golden-Rank Spirit Stone as a sacrifice, but they would never buy this land. In that moment, Niu Zhong felt that the situation had gone out of control. However, he was happy in his heart. Even if the Ming Fa Si’s land was empty, it was still better than selling it.
An Zheng suddenly understood and then sneered.
“What a good plan.”
Gu Qianye lowered her voice and asked: “What’s going on?”
“His Majesty, the Holy Emperor of the Great Western Region, is forcing the large clans to give him money to start a war. However, he couldn’t force them to say it out loud. Using the Ming Fa Si’s land to force them to express their loyalty was the most appropriate thing to do. At this time, a criminal edict arrived no later or earlier. How many members of these large families weren’t afraid? Especially when he was involved in the assassination... How could the big families that killed Fang Zheng not express their stance? The reason Left stood out first was because they had a guilty conscience. Not only that, with these great clans leading the way, how could the other clans fall behind? It won’t be long before a storm of sacrifices is set in motion. Everyone, small families, and even ordinary families will give their all to support the foreign wars. ”
An Zheng could not help but shake his head, “What a good plan. What a wise man.
Gu Qianye said: “Then do we still want to buy?”
An Zheng sighed: “I’m afraid I won’t be able to buy it. At this time, whoever really wants to buy it, would slapped Chen Wunuo’s face. [I actually ignored that. If we really bid, we won’t be able to get a foothold in the capital anymore.] Therefore, he should temporarily give up on this matter. But that’s good too, at least they didn’t fall into the hands of others … When I finish what I need to do, I will have to leave the Jinling in the end. If I stay here, I will be taken away sooner or later. ”
Gu Qianye looked at An Zheng’s expression and was a little worried. “If you feel unhappy, tell me about it.”
An Zheng: “There’s nothing to be unhappy about. It’s jusiece of land.”
Just as they were speaking, a few people suddenly strode in from outside. The one leading them was actually the Chief Steward of the First Extreme Palace, Su Ruhai. Behind him followed a few imperial guards wearing bright yellow embroidered clothes. They looked dignified and imposing, while he held an imperial edict in his hand. After entering, he looked around and asked, “Where is the disciple of the Hollow Jade Temple, Chen Liuxi?”
An Zheng got up, “I’m here.”
Su Chen nodded his head, “Your Majesty’s decree... The Hollow Jade Temple was the orthodox sect of the Dao Sect that had been passed down for tens of thousands of years. It was actually the leader of the martial arts sects, the holy land of cultivation of the Dao Sect. The Hollow Jade Temple had entered the capital from the east. As such, he gave the location of the original Ming Fa Si to the Hollow Jade Temple. From today onwards, this place shall be the location of the Hollow Jade Temple’s sect in Jinling. ”
Su Ruhai lowered his hand, and looked at An Zheng with a beaming smile: “Dao Friend Chen, why aren’t you accepting the decree yet?”
An Zheng’s brows slightly rose as he laughed: “I … “If you don’t accept it, then neither will you.”
