Chapter 760: The Hearts of the People in the Temple
At this time, it is the moment of sunrise!
Not all the suns in Wanggu Continent rise from the east, but in the human imperial capital area, the sun comes from the east.
At this moment, it is like a huge furnace, burning the heaven and earth to form a red light, rising slowly!
The night sky tore, and the light fell on the statue of the sword-wielding emperor, causing the emperor's shadow to cover the Rainbow Bridge and the palace!
Looking from a distance, in Chengxian Square in front of the palace hall, purple smoke rises from the shadow of the emperor!
There was a feeling of nitrogen as it curled up, and a big clock appeared out of thin air at this moment when night and day merged, hanging in the middle of the square!
That’s the fairy bell!
This clock comes from the ancient emperor Xuanyou era and exists to this day. It is between yin and yang, appearing at sunrise and disappearing at sunset!
Its function is to prove the mind!
Throughout the ages, if a minister's words are questioned by others, he must ring the Immortal Questioning Bell to prove his true intentions!
This is the ancient calendar!
However, during the reign of Emperor Xuanzhan, there were not many such incidents!
At this moment, the ministers in Xuanfu, including Xu Qing, had entered the main hall, and what Xu Qing saw was an imperial palace.
This hall is huge and can accommodate thousands of people. Carvings are neatly arranged around it. Giant pillars of auspicious beasts support the hall, and bright light shines through the hall!
Groups of golden-armored guards could be seen on both sides of the edge, standing motionless.
, lower your head to show respect for the arriving gentlemen!
As for the nine-step terrace rising directly in front, each one is almost hundreds of feet long and dozens of feet wide, and the layers progress until there is a majestic dragon chair on the ninth platform. !
There is a person sitting on the dragon chair now!
This person's whole body was hazy and he couldn't see his specific appearance. All he could see was that he was wearing a golden emperor's robe, exuding supreme power!
He wears an imperial crown on his head, with twelve combs hanging from the front and back sections. It is made of colorful fairy silk and beads of the sun and moon, symbolizing the king, who sees what he sees and what he does not see!
Where he sits is the core of the entire palace, the core of the imperial capital, and the core of the human race in Wanggu Continent!
What’s even more amazing is luck!
The fortunes from the entire human race converged on the Human Emperor. With such blessing, Xu Qing felt as if he was overwhelmed by the infinite momentum just by looking at it!
His eyes were extremely tingling. This feeling was not as strong as when he faced the prince and others in the Moon Festival Domain. This had nothing to do with his cultivation level, but the power of luck.
Under this kind of luck, a single thought from the Human Emperor can cause the earth to collapse!
Xu Qing lowered his head slightly and remembered the etiquette Zixuan had told him before!
"The ancient emperor Xuanyou ruled. In addition to the land of the living, there is also the land of the netherworld. Therefore, he abandoned the north and faced the south, and changed his position to the west and the east, which means that all races are in the hands of the human race!"
"From now on, in all court meetings, he will sit facing the east when he sits on the throne!"
The Great Emperor, the Heavenly King, and the Master of Shangxuan Palace do not need to attend the Small Court Meeting, but they need to be present at the Great Court Meeting. The Great Emperor sits on the sixth platform, the Heavenly King sits on the third platform, Tianhou sits on the first platform, and the three princes come down and stand together on the first step. Also facing the east, the deputy envoy of the Fifth Palace of Shangxuan faces the north and faces the west.
The deputy envoy of the Fifth Palace of Xiaxuan is to the south and west, the royal family is on the right side of the road gate, and the chief servant, the chief right officer and the chief servant's subordinate officers are on the left side of the road gate!
While Xu Qing was thinking about it, the dozen cultivators in black court uniforms who came in with him had already stepped onto the first stage and stood there facing the palace door!
Xu Qing took a deep breath and flew straight out to the first station!
His arrival attracted the attention of others, but most of them just glanced past.
Soon Xu Qing's figure appeared on the first stage, located at the end of the left side! Almost at the same time as he stepped onto the first stage, the public outside the hall entered their own ceremonial seats and stood up!
The hall is quiet!
As for the three men at the bottom of the first step, Xu Qing only saw one, an old man wearing red court clothes, with white hair shawl, tall and straight posture, and a calm expression. As for his identity, Xu Qing did not know Specifically, I guess this person may be Dazai!
According to Xuanyou’s information, Dazai will preside over all court meetings!
Now, as everyone was solemn, the old man in red court uniform glanced at the people listening, and finally turned to look at the people on the first stage, including Xu Qing!
When his eyes fell on Xu Qing, he paused slightly. What he focused on was not Xu Qing's appearance, but the details of his outfit. A hint of surprise flashed across his expression!
He noticed the subtle differences in Xu Qing's clothing. The ancient style and authenticity might be difficult to detect, but he could see the clues at a glance!
Then he withdrew his gaze and bowed his hands to the Human Emperor on the Nine Platforms!
"Your Majesty, the ceremony has been decided!"
Everyone in the hall bowed their heads in accordance with the previous small court meeting. At this time, the Emperor would stand up to show respect for the ministers and bow to everyone together. It was considered the end of the ceremony!
But something was different this time. The Human Emperor slowly stood up from his seat, and a coercion enveloped all directions. The power of destiny from the human race spread to the world!
When the clouds outside were rising and the golden dragons were chanting, he did not worship with the ministers as before, but turned his head and looked at Xu Qing through the crown jewel in front of him, slightly leading the way. !
"For meritorious service in the border area, one will be given a seat."
The voice of Dazai below echoed and spoke on behalf of the Human Emperor!
The next moment, a black dragon-carved seat slowly appeared on the table behind Xu Qing!
Xu Qing looked solemn as he bowed his head and thanked her nine times. The etiquette was full of correct postures and showed ancient meaning!
This scene fell in the eyes of everyone in the hall, and everyone remained calm. They paid more attention to Xu Qing in their hearts, knowing that there was someone behind Xu Qing who knew the etiquette of the human race very well!
Then the Human Emperor and his ministers bowed together. The Human Emperor sat down and remained motionless. Xu Qing sat down and the people wearing black court uniforms with him sat cross-legged!
A bell echoed, the court meeting began, and soon this man came out to talk!
First it’s people’s livelihood, then various events within the human race, including impeachment, financial issues and diplomacy about the human race, etc.!
However, the Human Emperor seldom spoke from the beginning to the end, and it was all dealt with by Dazai. Only when Dazai asked the Human Emperor for instructions at the critical moment, would he speak concisely and profoundly, and decide the matter with one word!
Coming to this palace at the core of the human race for the first time, Xu Qing, who participated in a meeting of such a standard, also had turmoil in his heart. It was difficult for him to be as calm as usual!
Sitting there with his back to the Emperor, his eyes fell on the main hall!
Everyone here can't tell what's going on inside from their expressions.
When listening to their words, listening to everyone's participation in a series of things, Xu Qing can feel what it means to be precise and concise in every word they say, and at the same time, the words can be understood in multiple ways!
"Everyone who can appear here is a dragon or a phoenix among men!% When Xu Qing was thinking, the affairs in the hall involved diplomacy, and he talked about the battle of the Black Sky Clan.
After another minister spoke, Xu Qing's eyes fell on the right side of the palace gate in the distance, where the Ya Royal Family was located!
There were only a few people there, most of them were elders of the clan. As for the prince, there was only one person there, and that was Ning Yan!
He stood there cautiously, obviously extremely afraid of his father!
Xu Qing glanced back, and at this moment he heard Dazai's vicissitudes of voice!
"Please ask Xu Qing, the governor of Fenghai County, for details about the Black Spirit Territory within the Heitian Clan!"
Eyes fell on Xu Qing instantly. Xu Qing stood up slowly, bowed to the Human Emperor, and spoke in a low voice under the spotlight!
"The Black Spirit Territory is divided into northern and southern halves. The northern territory is controlled by forces other than the Black Sky Royal Family, and the southern territory is headed by the Black Sky Priest. The death of the Red Mother caused the Black Sky Priest to fall from the altar and lose the blessings of the gods. I have sealed Haijun. Incorporate it, and the Krishna Priests will reestablish the Temple of Faith!”
When Xu Qing said this, a middle-aged man wearing a blue court uniform in the hall suddenly stepped forward and spoke!
“May I ask what is the source of the belief in the Black Sky sacrifice in the temple re-erected by Commander Xu?”
The expressions of everyone in the hall fluctuated slightly, but only slightly.
Regarding Black Sky’s worship of the Purple Lord, the matter related to the Purple Lord and Xu Qing is not a deep secret in itself, but some things are too sensitive to be put on the table!
So the question itself contains many layers of meaning!
Xu Qing's light fell on the middle-aged man and he spoke calmly, saying four words: "You have lost your manners!"
As soon as he said this, the middle-aged man glanced at Xu Qing, took a few steps back, and returned to his place!
Everyone in the hall also had their own thoughts on Xu Qing's solution, and they had some guesses about the expert behind Xu Qing's guidance.
Dazai nodded slightly!
"For the merits of sealing the border, Zhao Tianqi sits on the first stage of the Tianhou imperial court. It is inconsistent with ancient etiquette for you to interrupt Governor Xu while he is speaking. It is indeed disrespectful!"
Zhao Tianqi lowered his head and said yes, his expression showing no change in emotion!
Xu Qing ignored him and bowed to the Human Emperor and sat down again!
When the hall was quiet, one person walked out of the hall again. This person appeared in the middle of the hall wearing the same blue court uniform. He first bowed to the Human Emperor and then looked at Xu Qing!
"Chief Qingxu has taken his seat. I have something to ask. It is not an injustice. May I ask Commander Xu that the Sun of Dawn is the highest secret of our human race? How did Sheriff Qingxu know about it? How to obtain it? How many more are there? And why should we give it away? Bring it into the imperial capital? Bring it into the palace hall?”
This topic is also very sensitive, and its voice echoes with a murderous meaning, making the surroundings full of chilling atmosphere.
Even the golden armored guards on both sides are instinctively vigilant!
Xu Qing did not stand up and remained silent for a few breaths before calmly speaking!
"There are nine pieces in total given by the crown prince of the Moon Sacrifice Master. Xu used six pieces when he helped to kill Chi Mu!"
"Why were you brought to the imperial capital? Because you were afraid of death!"
The courtier who asked the question looked at Xu Qing, stopped talking and returned to where he belongs!
Dazai glanced at the other party. This sentence seemed to be making things difficult, but from another perspective, it also gave Xu Qing a chance to explain.
The true meaning is that there is good and there is evil, different people have different opinions!
But it had nothing to do with him, so Dazai looked at the emperor! The emperor was so high up that he couldn't see his expression clearly, but there was a dangerous aura emanating from his body, making the atmosphere in the entire hall more and more depressing, and the cold feeling spread in all directions.
More than ten breaths later, the Human Emperor's majestic voice echoed!
"Dazai, read out the results of the assassination in the imperial capital!"
Dazai lowered his head and understood in his heart that the Human Emperor chose not to pursue the matter regarding Xu Qing Shuguang Yang. This change of attitude made everyone in the hall realize it!
When Dazai raised his head and looked outside the palace again, his eyes turned cold and his voice contained murderous intent!
"Bring in the people involved in the assassination!"
