Text Chapter 1812: Gao Guan's Blockage

Xiahou Ling asked slowly, "Is this what Lao Jiu meant?"

Wei Shu nodded and said, "Jiu Ye thinks that since the incident has already happened, there is no need to sacrifice his own strength. If he wants to take action, he should just point his sword at the Ying family."

Xiahou Ling stood up from the couch, his tone unchanged: "Why did he say that he was his own man only after I asked him about this?"

Wei Shu understood as soon as he heard it. Xiahou Ling was concerned about another aspect. He replied, "Jiu Ye said that if the master insisted on executing him, he would not refuse, but he still hopes to give Wang Zhuo a chance to save Wang Zhuo's daughter's life and let Wang Zhuo set up a trap to kill a fake Qin Fei."

Xiahou Ling frowned and said nothing...

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed, which is just a blink of an eye for a cultivator.

The garden celebration is about to begin, and the imperial garden is decorated with lights and colors. Qing Yuanzun goes to the palace to pay homage to his mother as usual and listen to her instructions.

The mother and son were talking face to face when a maid came to report: "My queen, His Majesty has arrived!"

The mother and son looked at each other and quickly stood up to greet him. They ran into Qingzhu who was walking in at the door and saluted together, "Your Majesty, Father!"

Qingzhu nodded and said, "Everyone else, please leave!"

Shangguan Qing, who followed in, glanced at Emei. Emei was a little afraid of this general manager, so she quickly waved and asked a group of maids to leave.

Qingzhu sat down in the upper seat, Shangguan Qing stood aside, Qingyuanzun stood with his hands behind his back, Xiahou Chengyu wanted to pour tea himself, but Qingzhu said lightly, "No need!"

Xiahou Chengyu was startled and had to stay and turn back, saying with a forced smile: "How come His Majesty has time to come here?"

Qingzhu's eyes fell on Qingyuanzun and said inexplicably, "Is there any place you want to go?"

Xiahou Chengyu and Qingyuanzun looked at each other, not knowing what he meant by this.

Qingzhu continued, "If you practice with your head covered, you won't grow your brain. No matter how high your cultivation is, it's useless. Find something to do. Shangguan, can the palace's Washing Silk Division make room for Yuanzun?"

"This..." Shangguan Qing glanced at Qing Yuanzun in a deep thought.

The mother and son who were standing down had already changed their faces. What is the Washing Silk Division? It is a place dedicated to washing clothes for people in the harem. The harem has the most women, which means that women have the most clothes to change. Xiahou Chengyu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, how can a dignified emperor do that kind of work?"

Who knew that Qingzhu said calmly, "Doesn't he like to watch people bathe? The Washing Silk Division should suit his appetite."

As soon as these words came out, Qing Yuanzun's face turned pale, and Xiahou Chengyu's heart was even more shocked. Now it was confirmed that Miao Yi was right. It finally came.

"Your Majesty, isn't that thing over? Concubine Qin and the others have proved that Zun'er didn't do it on purpose." Xiahou Chengyu said with a pleading tone.

"You didn't mean it, did you?" Qing Zhu sneered, staring at Qing Yuanzun and asking, "If you didn't mean it, why didn't you apologize immediately afterwards, but instead contacted the Queen Mother to discuss it, and sent Ye Xiao to the Guards to inquire, did you make up your mind to fool me?"

It's easy to find excuses to accuse someone of a crime. Upon hearing this, Xiahou Chengyu and Qing Yuanzun both knelt down. Xiahou Chengyu repeatedly explained that he had no intention of fooling him.

Shangguan Qing, who was standing by, was silent and calm, but sighed in his heart. His Majesty had made up his mind. Would explanation be useful?

As expected, the Lord of Qing did not listen. He stared at Qing Yuanzun and said coldly, "I didn't punish you at that time because I was concerned about the face of the Heavenly Family. For the sake of our blood relationship, I will give you a little more dignity. You can find a way to save face by yourself!"

At this point, Qing Yuanzun had nothing to say. He said with a sad face, "Your son obeys your order!"

The kneeling Xiahou Chengyu also suffered a huge setback. She sat down and was repeatedly hit by Miao Yi. She knew that it was useless to say anything, but how could she bear to let her son wash clothes for women? She shook her head and begged, "Your Majesty, if you go to the Washing Silk Division, how can you face people in the future?"

"Since the Queen Mother is begging for mercy, then demote him to be a landowner." The Lord of Qing threw down the words and got up and left, and Shangguan Qing followed him.

"Your Majesty..." Xiahou Chengyu turned around on his knees and wanted to beg again. How embarrassing it was for a dignified emperor to be demoted to a landowner!

But Qingzhu didn't give her another chance to talk and had already left. At this time, Xiahou Chengyu just came to her senses. The Washing Silk Company was fake, and it was the truth to lead her on the road. Her brain was not good enough to deal with Qingzhu.

"Mother!" Qing Yuanzun stood up and helped his mother up. He bit his lips and said silently, "Don't beg him anymore. Land is land. It's better than staying in this heartless and ungrateful palace!"

Pa! Xiahou Chengyu turned around and waved his hand to slap her loudly, saying sternly, "Remember this! No matter when, he is your father. Everything he does is for your own good. Don't hold a grudge!" Finally, he secretly warned, "If you want to live well, keep all the words you shouldn't say to me!" If she hadn't received repeated warnings from Miao Yi, she really wanted to tell him the truth.

A few days later, during the garden celebration, the ministers brought their families to the court. The palace was singing and dancing happily. When everyone was in high spirits, they suddenly heard a rumbling sound from afar, which made all the guests in the palace look at each other in surprise. The singing and dancing still continued. Shangguan Qing, who was standing in the hall, gave a signal, and someone outside the hall quickly left to check what was going on.

Not long after, the person who went to check broke into the main palace and reported loudly to the sitting Qingzhu in front of all the ministers: "Your Majesty, there was a fire in Shangtian Palace, and most of the palace was blown up."

Qingzhu frowned, and Shangguan Qing immediately waved his hand, asking the reporter to retreat, and the singing and dancing continued without being disturbed by this incident.

The ministers below were somewhat surprised. How could the Shangtian Palace catch fire and blow up most of it? What had happened?

Up to the Heavenly Palace, the Emperor... Ying Wuman's eyes flickered slightly as he quietly observed Qingzhu's reaction, but he couldn't see any clues.

Xia Houling's eyelids twitched.

In the back garden, Queen Xiahou Chengyu collaborated with the concubines in the harem to entertain the ministers and their families. The same news soon spread, causing many people to whisper secretly.

Tianfei Zhan Ruyi, who was sitting next to him, was thoughtful. He glanced sideways at Xiahou Chengyu who was sitting above him, and found that Xiahou Chengyu's face was slightly sad. Zhan Ruyi, who seemed to understand, raised his glass and sat in silence for a long time.

At the court meeting after the Garden Festival, the cause of the fire and explosion in the Shangtian Palace was revealed. It was because the emperor collected some novelties and stored them in the Shangtian Palace without properly managing them. As a result, half of the palace was accidentally set on fire and destroyed.

This kind of thing happened during the once-in-a-millennium garden celebration. Qingzhu was very angry. He issued an order in public in the court and directly demoted Qingyuanzun, the emperor, to the land. The reason why I didn’t have an attack during the garden celebration was obviously because I didn’t want to affect everyone’s once-in-a-millennium elegance.

The commander of the left governor of the Guards, Shi Pojun, jumped out in public in the court to object. The reason was that no matter how wrong the emperor was, he would not be demoted directly to the land. He argued with Qingzhu again in front of everyone. Qingzhu Furious, he ordered his men to drive Po Jun out of the court.

Po Jun kept screaming outside the court, forcing Master Qing to order someone to silence Po Jun and send him to the prison for yelling at the court!

Afterwards, Xiahou Chengyu was a little touched when he heard the news. Although Pojun had always been at odds with the Xiahou family and her, in the end he still stood on the side of the Emperor. He had always had completely different attitudes towards her son and towards her.

In the court, Lord Qing asked which of the ministers in the court would be willing to take in Qing Yuanzun. As a result, no one was willing to accept this 'land'. Everyone realized that there seemed to be something wrong with this matter. Who knows what would happen. This is not an ordinary land. If something happens on their own territory, it will not be an ordinary trouble. Even if the Ying family wants to kill Qing Yuan Zun, they will not dare to do it on their own territory. No one dares to take this hot potato. , in short, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty made various excuses for various reasons.

Not to mention other people, even the Xiahou family were unwilling to take over. Qingzhu's demotion of the emperor was a signal. The local power of the Xiahou family was not strong. Accepting a Qingyuanzun would mean accepting a huge trouble. How many secret forces do the Xiahou family need to mobilize to protect them? A Qing Yuan Zun might become a fulcrum to pry open the lid of the Xiahou family. The Xiahou family's taking in Qing Yuan Zun is not helping Qing Yuan Zun, but harming Qing Yuan Zun. It is tantamount to completely focusing the spearhead that was already ready to move. Only by putting it in the hands of other families can we truly protect Qing Yuan Zun.

When everyone refused endlessly, Ying Wuman stood up and said with cupped hands: "Your Majesty, why don't you send His Highness to the Palace of the Netherworld Capital? Niu Youde, the Governor of the Netherworld, happens to be a direct subordinate of the Queen of Heaven. Over there, Your Highness?" It’s only natural.”

Unexpectedly, Gao Guan, who seldom spoke, stopped him, "His Highness went to be punished, not to be taken care of. When he went to the Netherworld Capital Palace, even if the Queen of Heaven didn't speak, would Niu Youde dare to take care of His Highness?"

As soon as these words came out, many people raised eyebrows, and Qingzhu couldn't help but look at Gao Guan a few more times, frowning slightly in displeasure.

Gao Guan glanced at Wu Qu, the commander of the right governor of the Guards, and quickly and secretly transmitted the message, "Someone has evil intentions, and the Netherworld City Government is not strong enough to protect His Highness's safety!"

Wu Qu's heart trembled, and he immediately stood up and said with cupped hands: "Your Majesty, since Your Majesty has no suitable place to go, why not ask Your Majesty to come to the Right Guards to be a soldier in line with the grade of the land? Your Majesty's cultivation is enough for the job! I I hereby guarantee that the military discipline of the Guards will be strict and your Highness will be treated as an ordinary person and will not receive any special treatment!" He also winked at Sima Wen Angel.

Sima Wentian immediately stood up: "I second the proposal!"

Gao Guan raised his hands and said: "I second the proposal!"

Xia Houling also stood up and said, "I second the proposal!" For him, it would be best to have the Guards to protect Qing Yuan Zun.

Everyone in the Xiahou faction immediately came out to second the proposal, and the hot potato had a place to go. The others remained silent, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Lord Qing originally wanted Qingyuan Zun to go to the Netherworld Capital Mansion. He had his own plans, but Gao Guan intervened and mobilized others to stop him.

In the end, with a group of people agreeing and no one objecting, Qing Yuan Zun was demoted to the position of Right Supervisor.

The court meeting dispersed, and the decree was immediately carried out. The people from the right guard directly took Qingyuan Zun away. Xiahou Chengyu, who rushed to the imperial garden to see him off, had tears in his eyes. He didn't know what kind of punishment his son would suffer if he went there. In short, it looked like... Your Majesty will not let his son live an easy life.
