Chapter 276: Execute the Tyrant Emperor and the Treacherous Ministers

In Huangshan, or even in Yongning Xiancheng, the capital of the Great Heng Empire, the empress who carries the destiny of the Great Heng Empire is basically invincible.

Moreover, in the eyes of the civil and military officials, the empress's cultivation is still the Great Perfection of Refining Void, and it is effortless to suppress the situation.

As soon as the empress's pressure was released, the civil and military officials were terrified and knelt down one after another.

Only three people did not kneel.

The first one was Li Guanxuan, the second one was Li Zhong, and the third one was a white-haired old man with a cane.

The old man was not wearing court clothes, but a simple and plain linen clothes. He stood at the head of the civil officials, his eyes half closed, as if he was about to fall asleep at any time.

Li Guanxuan noticed this old man and thought that he should be the empress's eldest brother, the disciple of the Confucian Saint, the prime minister of the current dynasty, Yan Fuxian, with the courtesy name Ning'an.

It is said that the prime minister of the current dynasty was cursed and could not use magic spells. Once used, he would be destroyed and die.

The old Prime Minister Yan Fuxian seemed to notice that someone was looking at him. He turned his head and looked at Li Guanxuan. He smiled slightly, with kind eyes and a friendly smile. His weathered face was full of traces of time, but his eyes were still bright and energetic, as if hiding the universe and the stars.

Li Guanxuan bowed slightly to show respect.

The empress looked calm and composed, and she could not tell whether she was happy or angry. She said: "This is Yongning Fairy City, the imperial capital of Daheng. If I can't even protect the Time Tripod, how can I protect the country of Daheng?"

Hearing this, Li Guanxuan couldn't help complaining in his heart. When the Xie family was slaughtered silently, didn't you notice it and protect it in time?

"Do you want to die?" The empress's voice sounded in Li Guanxuan's heart.

Li Guanxuan hid his hands in his sleeves, closed his eyes and pretended not to hear.

Li Zhong bowed and said at the right time: "I will always be with you, and I will also protect the Time Tripod from falling into the hands of thieves. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Then, the empress looked at Yan Fuxian.

The old prime minister understood and said slowly: "Young Master Li killed Hu Yanyuesheng with a sword, showing his talent and means. He can be called a unique Yuanying. Now he is proficient in time magic and assists in investigating this matter. There is nothing wrong. With Li Zhong's protection, you can rest assured. This old minister has no objection."

The empress didn't say any more nonsense, waved her sleeves and said: "Li Guanxuan, take the sword!"

At the same time, the empress also sent a voice message: 'If you don't take the sword, I will drag you to the vegetable market and chop you! '

"Your servant Li Guanxuan, I will obey the will of the emperor."

Li Guanxuan was helpless and took the Shengwu Sword floating in front of him with both hands.

When he touched the Shengwu Sword, he clearly felt a resonance, and the immortal bells and drums all rang in his heart. The Shengwu Sword exuded a terrifying sword energy, interweaving the rules of heaven and earth, gradually becoming smaller and hiding in his palm.

Soon, Li Guanxuan saw the Shengwu Sword fall into the hands of the Yuanying in the Dantian Qi Sea, and gently waved it, with infinite power.

"What a good sword!"

Li Guanxuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The empress hummed and transmitted: "This sword contains the great fortune of the eternal, and it can kill the immortals on land. Now I take this opportunity to give you a body to help you kill demons and eliminate evil for your elder sister!"

"But I still don't have an official position."

"What do you want an official position for? Wait for the six departments to impeach you and let me chop off your dog head? If you think your status is too low, I can give you a royal title."

"Don't, just a joke, I don't want to be impeached every day."

"..."

The two siblings secretly transmitted their voices.

The empress waved her hand, and the maid beside her said "dismissal" loudly, which echoed in the Golden Palace.

When they realized that the empress had disappeared from the dragon throne above, all the civil and military officials breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time gathered around to congratulate Li Guanxuan.

"Mr. Li is both talented and beautiful, he is really a great man."

"Mr. Li, congratulations."

"Congratulations, Mr. Li is worthy of being my Daheng talent, really admirable."

"..."

Li Guanxuan looked at the civil and military officials congratulating him, and he was overwhelmed by the smiling faces. For a moment, he couldn't believe it, and could only smile and respond hurriedly.

Until the old prime minister slowly walked over with a cane, all the civil and military officials said goodbye and dispersed.

"Mr. Li, do you have time to walk with me?" The old prime minister Yan Fuxian invited with a smile.

Li Guanxuan knew very well that as long as he accepted the Shengwu Sword, he would not be able to avoid the things in the court.

"It's my honor." Li Guanxuan bowed.

In this way, the old man and the young man slowly walked out of the Golden Palace, followed by an elderly eunuch.

When Li Guanxuan walked out of the Golden Palace, Song Zhibai, the Minister of Rites and the current patriarch of the Song family, came over and greeted with a smile:

"Lord, Mr. Li, Mr. Li."

The old prime minister and Li Zhong just nodded slightly.

Li Guanxuan looked at the current patriarch of the Song family with doubts, but still responded with a bow out of politeness.

"The family has already punished Song Changdong. Zhiqiao has married Mr. Li, so she is naturally a member of the Li family. If Mr. Li is free, you might as well take Zhiqiao to visit her parents' home. The Song family will definitely welcome her." Song Zhibai said with a smile.

Li Guanxuan smiled and said, "You are too polite, Lord Shangshu. I have no grudges with Master Changdong."

Song Zhibai sighed, "No matter what, I still hope that Master Li can understand that as a family of immortals with a population of more than 100,000, it is inevitable that there will be stupid people.

Being a member of the Song family, Zhiqiao should have received the bloodline skills in time, but Song Changdong almost delayed Zhiqiao's cultivation because of a private affair.

Although this crime does not lead to death, a punishment cannot be avoided. It also serves as a warning to other people in the Song family that as long as they have the blood of my Song family, they can practice bloodline skills. "

After saying that, Song Zhibai whispered: "Besides, I also hope that the young master will think about what happened in the court today after he goes back. If there is anything you don't understand, you can come to the Song family to have tea and discuss Taoism at any time. I will take my leave now." ”

Looking at Song Zhibai's leaving figure, Li Guanxuan was still confused and didn't know why.

The old chief assistant leaned on crutches, tapped the floor, and said with a smile: "The Xie family's extermination case is full of doubts and extremely dangerous. He stopped you in the court to prevent you from participating. In fact, he was just to help you, so as not to You step into the abyss.”

"If you stop me, you are helping me?" Li Guanxuan frowned.

He thought Song Zhibai was going against him.

"After Li Wangsheng's Divine Transformation Festival ended, Song Linghuai took Song Changdong to the ancestral hall and forced him to kneel in front of his ancestors. Song Jitang and Song Linbin also knelt in the ancestral hall with their resources halved."

Yan Fu first smiled and said: "Things like neck sticking are common for people with low cultivation level, but your status is different, which can easily cause a great impact. If Song Changdong is not severely punished, more monks at the bottom of the Song family will have bad intentions. resentment.

Therefore, everything Song Zhibai did was to make amends for this matter. As for the court trying to stop you..."

At this point, Yan Fu paused deliberately and then said: "The Song family has always been on good terms with the Xie family. When something happened to the Xie family, the Song family knew something about it, so the Holy Father only brought Song Zhibai out at the beginning.

Song Zhibai knew how dangerous the Xie family's case was, so he stopped it just to save you, lest you get involved too deep and be unable to get out. "

Li Guanxuan asked doubtfully: "Since you all know that he knows the secret, why don't you interrogate him directly?"

"Your Majesty must consider the impact. Even if you know it, you must pretend not to know. If you kill Song Zhibai, the Minister of Rites, without evidence, the court will be in chaos soon."

Yan Fu first touched the floor again and said softly: "The officialdom is deep and it is difficult to distinguish between friends and foes. Every step must be carefully considered in order to be able to stabilize the situation. Remember this."

Li Guanxuan looked back at Li Zhong.

"What Mr. Ge said is absolutely true." Li Zhong nodded slightly and agreed.

"Why did Mr. Ge tell me this?" Li Guanxuan asked directly.

Yanfu asked with a smile: "Did Young Master go to Wuhui Academy and meet with his teacher?"

Li Guanxuan nodded.

"I am also optimistic about the person that my mentor is optimistic about, and the young master is proficient in time magic. He can kill Huyan Yuesheng with five moves of the inner sword, which is rare in the world."

Yanfu smiled first, and said as he walked: "In the past, I was just a wild child living in the deep mountains and old forests. I was valued by my mentor, and I gradually achieved such achievements.

Today, I can no longer exert all my strength for Da Heng. The young master is a late bloomer, showing his prowess and sweeping the world, so I will have to work for him in the future. "

"I'm afraid it's hard for me to take on this big responsibility." Li Guanxuan said with a bitter smile.

"I still trust the vision of my mentor and Holy Master."

Yan Fu smiled first and said, "Young master, you must know that today's court meeting is held for your sake."

"Open it for me?" Li Guanxuan was stunned.

Yanfu nodded first and said: "Your Majesty, you want all civil and military officials to know your existence. The case of the Xie family's extermination is the beginning of your momentum. At the same time, you are also warning some people that anyone who dares to investigate your case will In the process of causing trouble, you can kill anyone with the holy sword in your hand... The right to kill first and then report is definitely not available to ordinary people. "

After hearing these words, Li Guanxuan slowly realized that he had to be extra careful every step he took.

As Yan Fuxian said, the officialdom is deep and unpredictable.

Li Guanxuan suddenly said: "Elder Ge's longevity is already over 30,000 years, right?"

Thirty thousand years is the limit of power in the Void Refining Stage.

Yanfu nodded slightly and said with a smile: "If there is no curse on me, I will be the second Confucian sage."

Li Guanxuan took a breath of cold air, Daheng was really a fierce man.

"Okay, that's enough for today's gossip. If you don't understand anything, young master, feel free to come to me."

Yan Fu smiled first and walked outside step by step with a cane. His body was stooped, as if his back was bent by the pressure of the mountains and rivers of the Great Heng.

This is a respectable old man.

All my life, I have been worrying about the Daheng Immortal Dynasty.

Li Guanxuan looked at the rickety back and sighed: "It is said that the disciples of Confucian saints are worthy of Daheng. It is definitely not a lie."

"In the tens of thousands of years since Daheng, has there been no genius who has come under the eyes of the Confucian saints again?" Li Guanxuan asked doubtfully.

"It's the hardest thing for a genius to get into that old fool's eyes."

Li Zhong explained: "That old fool adheres to a saying: Talent cannot be achieved without knocking. Although the genius has talent, it is easy to break... But in his hands, anyone with talent will be broken."

Li Guanxuan smiled. He could hear that Li Zhong's words were still full of resentment towards the Confucian sage.

The two of them walked towards Wuxia Palace. On the way, Li Guanxuan asked, "How much can you believe what Mr. Yan Ge said?"

"This person is loyal to Daheng, with all his heart and soul, and can believe everything he says."

After Li Zhong finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment and then said: "But to be on the safe side, believe half of it. It's best for you, Master, to retain a certain amount of suspicion towards anyone. Don't believe everything."

Li Guanxuan nodded slightly, he thought so too.

People who are nice to you for no reason must have some agenda for you.

…

Immaculate Palace.

"Sister, I thought you just wanted to test me, but you wanted me to die!"

Li Guanxuan just stepped in and started yelling wildly, his words full of anger.

"Calm down, calm down..."

The empress smiled and soothed a few words, then said: "The sword killing of Huyan Yuesheng has made everyone focus on you again. Anyway, you will break through the transformation of the spirit sooner or later, and you have to accumulate merits as a prerequisite, right?

All the things I arranged for you are to let you accumulate merits again, so as to pass the transformation of the spirit."

After speaking, the empress personally poured tea to admit her mistake and handed it to Li Guanxuan with both hands.

"What did you find out about the case of the Xie family's extermination?" Li Guanxuan took a sip of the tea and asked.

He had to make sure that he was safe and not in danger.

Otherwise, even with Li Zhong by his side, he would not feel safe.

"It's just to confirm that the Xie family is colluding with the Great Zhou, nothing else."

The empress was massaging Li Guanxuan's shoulders, and she didn't look as majestic and domineering as she did in the Golden Palace just now. She said, "In fact, I gave the Time Tripod to Li Zhong a long time ago to perform the time-traveling magic, but it failed and there was no gain.

I suspect that the person who made the move is at least a half-step into the Dao, otherwise, it would be impossible to destroy the Xie family silently."

"Half-step into the Dao?"

Li Guanxuan widened his eyes and said, "Li Zhong has just reached the Great Perfection of Refining Void, do you really want me to die?"

"Don't panic, as long as you are in Yongning Immortal City, I can keep you safe."

The empress smiled and said, "There is a wisp of my divine consciousness in the Time Tripod, and I even put my Nascent Soul in it. As long as the mastermind dares to make another move, I can kill him immediately and find out the whole story."

Hearing this, Li Guanxuan felt a little relieved.

The empress is a genuine land immortal in the Hedao period. If the Nascent Soul is in the Time Cauldron, then there will be no problem.

"Are you sure that I can go back in time successfully?" Li Guanxuan asked doubtfully.

Li Zhong couldn't do it, so how could he do it?

"Your Velvet Flower Spirit Tree is immune to all the rules of the world. With your help, it will definitely go back in time." The empress affirmed firmly.

"Will it be exposed?" Li Guanxuan frowned.

"Don't worry, it won't. I won't let you do anything too risky." The empress comforted.

Li Guanxuan nodded slightly and said, "Okay, then I'll go to the Xie family to take a look. If there is anything wrong, remember to rescue me quickly and don't let me get into trouble."

"You don't trust me, but you don't trust Li Zhong?"

The empress said unhappily, and then said, "Before going to the Xie family, talk to your cheap elder brother and see what he knows. Li Zhong is busy investigating the Xie family and didn't go to him."

"Yeah."
