If you touch the corpse, you will become stronger. At the beginning, you can touch Huashan swordsman

The foreign envoys who came to Daoxi's banquet seemed to have made a connection, and they all protested against Xu Xin's indiscriminate killing of innocents.

In short, the forces of all parties seem to have reached a certain consensus at once.

Come forward together and unite to ask the emperor to give a satisfactory result.

In the cabinet at this moment, several adults are also arguing with each other, discussing solutions to the situation.

The elders are all aggrieved, but in fact each has their own ghosts.

The joy and pride in his eyes couldn't be concealed. Xinxi finally caught Xu Xin's pigtail, and Zizi could have a chance to make trouble.

"The cabinet has repeatedly warned them, restraint! Patience! Concession! Commander Xu Xin simply doesn't pay attention to our cabinet! Overbearing, extremely arrogant!"

"Relying on the emperor's favor, he did evil and did whatever he wanted! We must punish him severely!"

Xu Youzhen looked at the few people in front of her, feeling a trace of disdain for no reason.

"Xu Xin is decisive and brave in doing things. I like this style of acting, and it really shares my interests." Xu Youzhen couldn't hide the excitement and emotion in her heart.

No matter whether it was the cabinet or the six ministries, the third department or the Imperial Academy, almost all of them learned of this important event immediately.

Most of them are not used to Xu Xin or have a grudge against Xu Xin, and they are brewing killer moves and preparing to add insult to injury.

However, there are also many people who admire and feel that this young commander of the Imperial City Guard is fearless.

Since the preparations for the state banquet began, various forces have been eager to move, trying to mess up the capital.

Just when everyone didn't know how to respond, Huangchengwei unexpectedly stood up.

And it is a big killing move once it is shot!

He directly dealt with King Ning's eldest son.

You must know that among the many feudal lords, King Ning is the most powerful!

The people in the capital all clapped their hands and praised.

The capital, which was originally terrified, has now completely disappeared from all parties, and the capital has finally returned to the prosperity it should have in the past.

But everyone knows that they must be plotting something, and the current tranquility is just the eve of the storm.

In the afternoon, the other three vassals rushed to the main hall of the palace.

It was declared that Xu Xin, the commander of the Imperial City Guard, must die to apologize today, and asked the emperor to kill all the personnel involved.

Only in this way can the face of the royal family be saved.

Ever since, the drama of forcing the palace will be grandly staged in the hall.

Everyone believed that for the sake of his throne and the face of the royal family, the Holy Majesty would at least reprimand the imperial city guards, and even sent Xu Xin to prison to appease the anger of the various feudal lords.

After all, the Holy Majesty also accepted the cabinet's proposal to ask all parties in the capital to give in and exercise restraint, so as to avoid unnecessary conflicts as much as possible.

But in the afternoon, the imperial city guards ignored the emperor's edict, and dared to go to war at the feet of the emperor, and fought against King Ning's guards, carrying out such a bloody massacre.

Everyone is waiting for the emperor's order of punishment.

What was unexpected was that the Holy Majesty's decree was not to punish Xu Xin, but to reward him.

He was commended for not being afraid of power, for enforcing the law impartially, and for not giving in just because he was the son of Prince Ning, which well embodies the legal principle that the emperor of the imperial court commits the same crime as the common people.

Lived up to the emperor's expectations, and maintained the stability of the capital's law and order.

When the court hadn't recovered from the shock, it received a second decree, ordering the Duke of Zhen to lead [-] subordinates in the Fengtai camp to station outside the city gate for dispatch at any time, and to dispatch some of the elite. Enter the city to help Xu Xin maintain order in the city.

The Fengtai Camp is the strongest force defending the capital, which means that the emperor has expressed his attitude to all forces.

Come and play, all right.If you want to find fault, no!

Immediately afterwards, the third imperial decree was quickly delivered to King Ning.

He reprimanded King Ning for teaching his son inappropriately, for committing crimes, which hurt the face of the royal family, and ordered him to reflect in the Taimiao for a year, and he had to copy the Heart Sutra every day to show his repentance.

At the same time, they also mobilized the Imperial Forest Army around King Ning's feudal kingdom to station in King Ning's territory. On the surface, it was to assist in the defense, but in essence it was not much different from surveillance and encirclement.

After all the decrees were issued, the cultural relics of the Manchu Dynasty, the vassal kings of various places, and the envoys of Fanbang were all dumbfounded.

Does the emperor think that this matter is not big enough, not enough attention-grabbing?

This signal is undoubtedly to take King Ning as a knife and kill chickens to make an example to all restless elements.

Not to mention other people, even Xu Xin, who was the "instigator", was extremely surprised.

After returning to the guard, Xu Xin was already prepared for the worst.

Because I have indeed received the will to back down.

But now it seems that the emperor's will is more like encouraging himself...

Dao Yan laughed loudly and looked at Xu Xin who was full of doubts.

"My lord! The old man congratulates you first!"

Xu Xin felt more and more baffled when he heard this: "Sir, all the troubles have gone to the Holy One, so what's the point?"

"The emperor's test! It seems that you are the only one who has passed." Dao Yan stroked his beard and smiled.

"There is still a test? What test?"

"Naturally, it is a test for everyone in the court." Dao Yan looked at Xu Xin who was puzzled, and began to analyze for him.

Under the diligent rule of the Holy Majesty, the national power is now extremely powerful, and there is no need to fear the barbarians around and the vassal kings from all over the place, and there is no need to give in and forbear!

But the Holy Majesty accepted the proposal of the cabinet and ordered everyone to back down. What is the reason?

There is only one purpose, and that is to see who else has the blood and dares to confront these strengths!

In essence, this state banquet is a test of the Holy Majesty for civil and military officials!

See who is cowardly and who dares to defend the state.

Only the Imperial City Guard and Xu Xin participated in this peacekeeping mission in the capital. Regardless of their own life and death, they maintained the order in the capital and at the same time maintained the authority of the Holy Majesty!

The Holy One knew that he was going to die soon, and he also knew what his son was going to face.

There is absolutely no tolerance and compromise for the various forces that are eyeing each other.

That will only make them more unscrupulous!

Therefore, only a powerful method of thunder can make everyone fear the authority of the emperor again, so that his son can ascend the throne safely and soundly.

Listening to Dao Yan's analysis, Xu Xin seemed to understand the "test" he was talking about.

The palace, in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"My lord, the vassal princes from all over the world are already kneeling in front of the Taimiao, waiting for you to pass."

Zhou Cong, the chief assistant of the cabinet, said to the emperor in a low voice.

The emperor closed his eyes and meditated, before speaking for a long time.

"I know, let them kneel down!"

"But……"

"No, but! My order has already been issued! You are not joking! If they want to threaten them with this, they are not afraid that I will punish them together with them!"

The emperor's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and then became gentle again.

"Master Zhou, I almost forgot, what is your birthday this year?"

"Lao Sheng is concerned, the old minister will be seventy-nine this year." Zhou Cong, the chief assistant, heard the emperor's question, straightened his waist immediately, and replied in a confident manner.

"It's already 79... Ordinary people in your grade should live together for several generations and enjoy the family relationship, but I still trouble you in the cabinet day and night."

If the emperor felt something, he slowly got up.

Hearing that the emperor missed him, Zhou Cong, the chief assistant of the cabinet, bowed immediately: "The old minister has dedicated himself to death. As long as the old minister has a breath left, he is willing to share his worries for the Holy One."

The emperor approached Zhou Cong, patted him on the shoulder, and suddenly smiled.

"My court has worked hard for you for so many years. Now that you are getting older, you should enjoy more happiness. Give the young people more experience."

Elder Zhou Ge, who had ruled the court for more than 20 years, suddenly bent his upright body, and instantly aged a lot.

"Yes, what the Holy Majesty said is very true. It is to give more experience to the younger generation, and let them grow up as soon as possible so that they can assist the Holy Majesty together."

"In this way, you can also enjoy yourself leisurely. By the way, was Xu Youzhen the one who arranged for today's state banquet?" The emperor smiled and looked at Xu Youzhen who was standing at the end.

Xu Youzhen stepped forward in a hurry: "Yes, Your Majesty. The minister has made arrangements and is ready. As soon as the time comes, the banquet can start as scheduled."

"Very good! Very good!" The emperor walked back to the dragon couch, and continued to rest with his eyes closed...

Chapter 55 Forced Palace Outside the Palace of Mental Cultivation.

The emperor motioned for the cabinet to leave, and everyone heaved a long sigh of relief after exiting the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Yuan Wu. Come with me for a walk." Zhou Cong, the chief assistant of the cabinet, looked at Xu Youzhen who had been kicked out of the teacher by himself.

"Okay, Mr. Chief Assistant." Xu Youzhen looked at Zhou Cong, Chief Assistant of the Cabinet, with some surprise.

Ever since his mentor broke up with him, for an unknown amount of time, the old man has never called out to him like this, let alone asked him to be his companion.

So he wanted the past to be the same as before, supporting his mentor Zhou Cong while walking and talking heart-to-heart.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Cong thought of what the emperor had said to him before, and pushed Xu Youzhen away.

"The old man can still walk by himself now!"

Looking up at the cold sky, he sighed, "It's going to rain..."

The two walked in tandem.

"Yuan Wu, have you not been to my house for a long time? Your wife often asks why she didn't see you."

In fact, Xu Youzhen often wanted to visit, but every time she was stopped by the porter.

"The master is resting, please come back next time, my lord."

"My lord, my master hasn't come home yet."

"Master is still receiving guests, why don't you come back later, my lord."

After a long time, Xu Youzhen naturally stopped making fun of herself.

"Aren't you stupid! Don't you ask people to stop me every time and not let me go in?" Although Xu Youzhen really wanted to answer like this.

But he still said respectfully: "Teacher, it's the student's fault. I will definitely visit my wife tomorrow and apologize to my wife."

After finishing speaking, I only heard Zhou Cong sigh and nodded: "You still have a conscience."

"You saw it in the Hall of Mental Cultivation just now, right? Your Majesty despises me for being old. Maybe I will be sent back to my hometown soon."

"Others don't know, how can the students not know that the teacher is in good health!" Xu Youzhen complimented.

"Others compliment me, you kid also come to compliment me. Lie me like a child, right?" Zhou Cong, the chief minister of the cabinet, was annoyed and funny after hearing this.

"Among all the students, you are the one I am most proud of, and also the one I am most optimistic about..."

"Students are ashamed. Without the teacher's careful teaching and support these years, the students may still be just a small county magistrate." Xu Youzhen said sincerely.

A few years ago, the master and the apprentice walked in the same direction and worked together.

But as time went on, the political philosophies of the two began to diverge, and finally even reached the point where their enemies faced each other.

The friendship between master and apprentice has gradually become fragmented.

"After resigning from the old age and returning to his hometown this time, Mr. Gao Ge, the second assistant, should take over the position of the first assistant. You also know that he and I have always been at odds. My disciples, that is, your brothers and sisters, will definitely not Fortunately, you are still in the cabinet, if you have the ability, the teacher hopes that you can help them."

After Zhou Cong finished speaking, his tall and straight figure suddenly bowed a lot in Xu Youzhen's eyes.

For decades, Zhou Cong's voice is loud and powerful, with a dignified aura, no matter who sees it, he will be terrified.

But at this time, Xu Youzhen suddenly discovered that Zhou Ge, who was under one person, was actually an ordinary old man.

However, Xu Youzhen did not reject the sudden closeness of her mentor.

Because Xu Xin made him understand that the benefits of forming an alliance are too many.

Because of Xu Xin, several of his confidantes have good positions.

Because of Xu Xin, the factory supervisor of the East Factory entrusted him with the planning of the state banquet.

Because of Xu Xin, the Holy One suddenly got so close to him.The teacher who has always treated him coldly is now so close to him.

The reason for everything was because he formed an alliance with Xu Xin.
