At this time, the judge suddenly interrupted Geng Bao's speech.

Jushou's heart skipped a beat, he raised his head and looked at Shenpei in disbelief.

Dong Zhuo messed up the capital and burned Luoyang for three hundred miles. Since then, Luoyang City has been occupied by many parties. Although it has been repaired, it is only the outer walls and defensive buildings.

Qiu Xu in Luoyang City has not changed much.

And the only building that can be burned and the only building that has been repaired is the Taimiao of the Han Dynasty!

Geng Bao put the brocade box on the ground, kowtowed, and said sadly.

"The lower officials failed their duties, and the place where the fire burned was exactly where the Taimiao was located."

"By the time the officials arrived at the Taimiao, the fire was out of control, and all the soldiers guarding the Taimiao were unconscious."

As soon as Geng Bao said a word, everyone in the audience was shocked.

"Such a big event, why are you reporting it now!"

Guo Tu stood up and shouted sharply.

"Boy! The Taimiao is on fire, and you, as the defender of Luoyang, cannot escape the blame! You know that the crimes of the nine clans are involved, and it is difficult to appease the wrath of the world!"

Xin Ping also stood up at this time, angrily reprimanded.

"Do you think that you can be spared your life just by offering a treasure? Could it be that you have lost your mind?"

In the palace hall, there was an uproar immediately, and everyone criticized Geng Bao with their mouths and pens.

"quiet!"

The judge suddenly slammed the table, let out a roar, and suppressed all the voices.

In the palace, everyone was stagnant.

Geng Bao seized the opportunity at this time, and continued quickly.

"The fire in the great temple, the lower officials are indeed to blame, but after the fire was extinguished, the sky returned to darkness, and in the void of the great temple, there were five colors of brilliance."

"The next official stepped forward boldly, and after walking in, he found this treasure!"

Geng Bao stepped forward slightly, opened the brocade box in front of him, and then raised it high above his head.

There was an uproar.

Everyone's eyes were all focused on the brocade box in Geng Bao's hand, and no one spoke in the hall.

In the brocade box in Geng Bao's hand, a jade seal lay in it.

The lights were flickering, and the jade seal in the brocade box unexpectedly emitted five colors of glory under the light of the lights!

Chapter 675

Ju Shou's expression suddenly changed, and Geng Bao was not far away from him.

He could see clearly that the corner of the jade seal in the brocade box was inlaid with a piece of gold.

Gold-studded chi horns, the identity of that jade seal is self-evident.

"Xiaguan found this jade seal from the Qiu Ruins... On this jade seal, there are eight characters engraved..."

Ju Shou tried his best and turned his head to look at Yuan Shao.

The lights were flickering, and Ju Shou couldn't see Yuan Shao's face clearly sitting on the head seat.

The strong wind howled, and for some reason in the hall, it seemed that the doors and windows were not closed tightly, and the evil wind howled in the hall.

The flames flickered, and the originally bright palace suddenly became much darker, making it even more difficult for Jushou to see Yuan Shao's expression clearly.

In the hall, everyone's eyes were focused on Geng Bao.

"Which eight characters are engraved on the jade seal?"

The examiner stood up slowly, looked at Geng Bao, and asked slowly.

The atmosphere in the palace was condensed, and even the temperature seemed to drop a few degrees.

Geng Bao knelt on the ground, his hands holding the brocade box trembled slightly, he knew that everyone's eyes were on him.

The voice of the judge made him feel a chill that went straight to the bottom of his heart

Geng Bao raised his head slightly and looked forward. He saw Shenpei, Feng Ji, Guo Tu, and Xin Ping standing on the left and right sides of the hall, watching him indifferently.

Geng Bao lowered his head, his eyes unconsciously looked to the left and right.

He noticed that Chunyu Qiong's hand was already on the knife, his face did not change at all, and the hands of Ju Yi and Gao Lan were also hidden under the desk.

There is no longer any light in the halls, and in the darkness all around, it seems that there are thousands of troops hidden.

The first seat above the steps was surrounded by dim candlelight, and Geng Bao was far away from Yuan Shao, so he couldn't see Yuan Shao's face clearly.

But he could see Yuan Shao's body bowing forward slightly, as if he was waiting for him to say those eight words for everyone to hear.

"The eight characters engraved on the jade seal..."

Geng Bao swallowed, lowered his head, lowered his body, and said in a trembling voice.

"Ordered by the sky...that is, longevity and prosperity..."

"call"

The gust of wind howled, and the sound of the banner being swirled by the gust of wind suddenly spread into the hall.

Ju Shou's face was ashen, he knew what Yuan Shao was going to do.

He finally understood why a nursery rhyme was suddenly sung by children in Jizhou a few months ago...

With the decline of red virtue, Yuan is Huang Yin, and it is appropriate to follow the will of heaven and follow the hearts of the people...

When he first heard this nursery rhyme, he knew something was wrong, but he didn't think too much about it. He knew that there was always a group of people around Yuan Shao who wanted Yuan Shao to ascend to the throne of God.

He thought it was those caring people who were grandstanding, and they also wrote the nursery rhyme in order to influence Yuan Shao.

Now the time has not come, the Emperor Han still has prestige, their territory is not stable, the army is not many, and they have not reached their peak.

Luoyang has just been occupied, and there is turmoil in Qingxu. The top priority now should be to seek development and prepare troops.

He never thought that Yuan Shao would dare to risk the displeasure of the world under the current situation...

Jushou felt cold all over his body, he turned his head with difficulty, and looked at the judge who was sitting opposite him on the left.

At this time, the judge's eyes were still on Geng Bao's body, and he didn't notice Ju Shou's eyes.

Jushou saw the sneer on the corner of the judge's mouth, and that sneer made the chill in Jushou's heart a little bit more intense.

Jushou looked around, the eyes of everyone in the hall made Jushou feel panic and helpless.

In the hall, except for Jushou, there are flames dancing in the eyes of everyone.

On the steps, Yuan Shao stood up slowly.

In the hall, everyone's eyes followed Yuan Shao's stand, and moved from Geng Bao's body to Yuan Shao's body.

The sound of the wind faded away, the lights were rekindled, and the originally dark palace became bright again.

Yuan Shao stood on the steps, condescendingly overlooking the people in the hall.

He was examining the expressions of the reactions of the people in the palace.

In the hall, everyone except Ju Shou looked at Yuan Shao with fiery eyes.

Now they occupy the six prefectures of Youzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Sili and Luoyang, with more than ten million people under their rule...

Once Yuan Shao becomes emperor, their identities and status will inevitably rise along with them.

Fenghou worships the prime minister, honors the ancestors...

More importantly, now they need a flag.

Liu Bian has already abdicated, and they are now not well-known, and there have been some criticisms in various local cities, and many people have begun to question Yuan Shao's thoughts.

Geng Bao raised his head, looked up at Yuan Shao who was standing on a high place, as if he lived in the nine heavens, and the last trace of fear in his heart disappeared.

"Red morality is exhausted, and Yuan is Huang Yin. It is appropriate to follow the will of heaven and follow the hearts of the people!"

Geng Bao made up his mind and summoned up his courage.

He is very clear that as long as he handles this matter well, he will definitely be remembered by Yuan Shao.

High-ranking officials and generous salaries, treasures and beauties, all rewards and blessings will definitely not be lacking.

Geng Bao raised his hands high, raised the brocade box containing the jade seal above his head, and shouted loudly.

"Duke Ming regained Luoyang, and there was a dragon chant in Luoyang, and a fire fell from the sky and destroyed the Taimiao of the Han Dynasty. This is God's will!"

"Destiny cannot be violated!"

Geng Bao slowly lowered his hands, put the brocade box on the ground in front of him, moved it forward a little, then kowtowed heavily to Yuan Shao, and said in a deep voice.

"The next official has the courage to ask Ming Gong to obey the will of heaven and follow the people's will!"

"presumptuous!"

Yuan Shao took a sudden step forward and shouted in a deep voice.

"The Son of Heaven is now trapped in Nanyang by evil thieves. This is the time for us to move forward and protect the king."

"You are no more than a mere district lord, and you dare to talk about the destiny?!"

Yuan Shao's expression was indifferent, and he ordered.

"Where are the left and right, take this person down for me!"

"Every sentence of the officer's words is true. Among the [-] defenders of Luoyang City, there is no one who has not heard the sound of the dragon's chant. The fire is soaring into the sky, and only this jade seal is left in the middle of the hills."

"The lower officials thought that this imperial seal was bestowed by the heavens on Duke Ming!"

Geng Bao no longer hesitated to speak at this time, his face was solemn, and his voice gradually became thicker and more confident.

"The throne of the Son of Heaven has been stolen by him, moths and thieves are rampant, there is no one to cure, internal and external troubles, wars are raging..."

Geng Bao raised his head, his eyes were piercing, and he looked around at the people in the palace.

He was just a small boss, but this time, facing the senior generals and high-ranking officials and nobles in Yuan Shao's army, he didn't have the slightest bit of fear, his eyes were firm and terrifying.

"Duke Ming left Luoyang, contacted the heroes, raised the righteous army, and fought against the rebels. However, it was difficult to unite because of small disturbances. This is not the responsibility of Duke Ming."

"Jizhou rebelled, the wealth was exhausted, and the people were in dire straits."

Geng Bao withdrew his gaze, kowtowed again, his tone was excited, his voice was high, and he said with emotion.

"Duke Ming was ordered in a time of crisis, and between ten and a month, sweep away the gangsters, get rid of the evil leaders, settle Jizhou, reject moth thieves in the west, resist Wuhuan in the north, secure Qingzhou in the east, and set Yanzhou in the south, and the world will be clear for it."

"Duke Lu ordered him to fall into the mountain forest, and King Chen Liu Chong called him a jackal. He hijacked King Chen Liu and set up a private court in Chendu to coerce King Chen Liu to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor."

"The world is in turmoil, and all people are angry!"

"King Chenliu's ascension to the throne is unethical and unreasonable. There are two emperors in the east and the west. As a result, the world is in chaos, the earthquakes are constant, natural disasters are frequent, and the fire in the Taimiao is the wrath of heaven on the Han Dynasty!"

"Red morality is exhausted, and Yuan is Huang Yin. It is appropriate to follow the will of heaven and follow the hearts of the people!"

Geng Bao bowed his hands and said loudly.

"Sun Jian claimed to have obtained the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom in a well in Luoyang, but after Sun Jian obtained the Jade Seal of the Kingdom of Chuan, he sent it to Chendu, but there was no news of the Seal of the Kingdom of Chuan, and it was never seen again."

"Being ordered by the heavens, you will live forever. This Jade Seal of the Nation is the real Jade Seal of the Nation. This is bestowed by God!"

"The Han Dynasty lost its virtue, and Ming Gong replaced it. This is the destiny!"

"Minggong is the descendant of the Yuan family, and the Yuan family came from Chen. It was Chen and Shun's descendants who used the earth to carry the fire, which was the next. The prophecy said: "The one who replaces the Han should be Tu Gaoye." This is God's will. !"

"Heaven and God will not take it, but you will be blamed. If the time doesn't work, you will suffer!"

Geng Bao kowtowed again, his whole body trembling and impassioned.

The Chuan Guoxi Seal in the brocade box was still slowly emitting a faint light, and Geng Bao's words restored the tranquility in the palace.

Yuan Shao didn't say another word, he just stood silently on the steps, staring at Geng Bao who was kneeling on the ground.

"The bones of the dead are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles. One hundred people are left behind, and the thought of it breaks people's hearts."

The judge spoke slowly to break the silence, and he read a poem.

Everyone was stunned, not because of what the poem said, but because the person who wrote the poem was a person who could not be mentioned.

This poem was spread from the region of Taiping Dao. It is said that it was written by a great virtuous teacher of Taiping Dao.
