Chapter 1033 The Five Great Pillar States
Liu Zhengtang's headless body fell on the twentieth step. As the Jade Emperor waved his robe, there was a loud bang, and the body was thrown heavily in front of the ministers, which completely woke up everyone present.
At this moment, they realized belatedly that in the imperial city, the strongest person would always be Jade Emperor.
They did not ignore the fact that the other party could use the power of humanitarian merit, and even the Jade Emperor used it extremely frequently.
Whenever the ministers in the court quarreled, the Jade Emperor would use the pressure of his humanitarian merits to force them to quiet down.
In fact, some ministers believed that this behavior was a lack of monarchical dignity.
Because when a qualified hero encounters this situation, he will just glance over and no one will dare to whisper, but Jade Emperor Heaven always relies on external forces.
This may have given some ministers an illusion that the so-called power of humanitarian merit could only be used as a great silencing technique, and was also the last means to maintain the face of the Yu royal family on the surface.
If Liu Zhengtang had faced up to how terrifying the Jade Emperor Heaven was with the blessing of humanity's merits, he would not have been so foolish as to clamor for the dethronement of the tyrant in this imperial city.
This can only mean that Jade Emperor has always given people the impression of being too friendly, or more accurately, too cowardly.
He never got angry with anyone, and he did not feel humiliated even when he was refuted by his subjects in the court. But at this time, it was Jade Emperor, the monarch, who was the first to give in.
He gave in step by step, and that was why the other party had no doubt about his promise to the five great pillars.
Or maybe they simply don't believe in their hearts that someone like the Jade Emperor would dare to paint a pie in the sky in front of them and then refuse to give it to them.
At this moment, looking at the headless corpse with blood still trickling from the neck, the ministers felt that they seemed to have never recognized the true nature of Jade Emperor Heaven.
In the past, those seemingly cowardly behaviors in the court were actually just because the Jade Emperor didn’t care.
He had no intention of governing the country that had imprisoned him, nor did he care about his ministers who were haggling over tiny bits of power.
It was this mentality of his, or perhaps it was just going with the flow, that caused the ministers to misjudge the Jade Emperor's character greatly from the bottom of their hearts.
At the same time, it also led to the death of a senior general.
Of course, this is just the beginning.
"Han Diao Si." Yu Huangtian's voice came out, and the tone was no different from before. But when they heard this voice again, all the ministers under the altar subconsciously lowered their heads and bent their backs slightly, instead of doing the same as every morning court session.
They even dare to raise their heads and look directly into the other person's face.
When he heard that Jade Emperor was summoning him, the newly appointed Western Factory Supervisor, Han Diaosi, behaved even more respectfully.
He took a few steps forward, bowed respectfully and said:
"The minister is here."
"As the Supreme State, how do you think I should deal with someone who dared to murder me in public and threatened to depose me?"
"Skin them and draw out their bones, execute all nine clans, and then hang their corpses outside the city to deter the scoundrels!"
These words touched the faces of all the ministers present, especially the other three who were also Shangzhuguo. They wanted to speak up to refute Han Diaosi's inhumane suggestion, but they were about to raise their heads at that moment.
They vaguely felt the five-clawed golden dragon hovering in the sky, its eyes turning increasingly red, staring at them intently.
At the same time, the warrior's sixth sense is giving a crazy warning!
The rapidly trembling heartbeats indicated that they had already stepped on the steel wire above the cliff. If there was any abnormal movement at this moment, they would surely sink into the abyss, never to be recovered!
The six ministers standing behind Li Taike also felt that this was an excessive punishment.
They practice literature and Taoism, and must follow their original intentions and perseverance in embarking on this path. In order to gain enough power in a short period of time, they even use oaths to restrain their behavior!
Therefore, it is inappropriate in terms of morality, reason and law to eliminate a family of Shangzhu State so easily.
But just as they were about to speak, Li Taike stepped forward and said:
"Such a traitor should be exterminated from all nine clans!"
"Well, if any of you watch Liu Zhengtang commit such a rebellious act and still want to plead for him, then I will have to clean up the sky of this imperial city before passing on the throne."
Jade Emperor's words have already made the final decision. Even the six elders who had their own principles had to shut their mouths, because before this, the most important one in their oath was loyalty to the emperor!
In the past, when facing the cowardly Jade Emperor, this rule could be used flexibly, but if one had to watch the other party being assassinated and still use the rules to intercede for the rebel, and if the other party was labeled as disloyal, his path of cultivation would be greatly increased by difficulties.
The law did not originally specify that a traitor must have his entire nine clans exterminated, but now no minister has stood up to refute it.
In response to this, Jade Emperor Tian took a glance and just sneered in his heart.
"Han Diaosi, I'll leave this matter to your West Factory. When the ceremony is over, I want to see the bodies of all the rebels you mentioned outside the city."
"Yes."
After Han Diaosi agreed, he bowed again, then carried Liu Zhengtang's headless body and retreated decisively.
Now all the ministers are tied up in front of the altar. They want to help the Liu family secretly, but they are helpless because any small move will be seen by the Jade Emperor.
Facing the current emperor who has shown unprecedented tyranny, he can say the five words "I am the world", and he will definitely be able to kill many people by taking advantage of the Liu Zhengtang incident.
Now that the whole nine branches of the Liu family have been wiped out, for most of the people present, this is already the best possible outcome.
Cao Zhengchun, who had been watching the whole process coldly, sensed something was wrong when Jade Emperor Heaven appointed the Western Factory Supervisor to handle the matter.
Logically speaking, ever since the previous Western Factory Supervisor Yu Kuixie defected to Empress Xuan's lineage, this knife, which should have been in Emperor Xuan's hand, has become rusty and has not been used for a long time, so people have overlooked the existence of such a special organization.
Especially when Cao Zhengchun's East Factory was focused on seizing and annexing the power of the Six Gates, it didn't pay attention and failed to realize that this little thing that had been ignored by them had actually grown up.
And now, Han Diaosi, the governor of the Western Factory, makes him feel a deep sense of crisis.
This is because the mainstream masters are now all occupied by the Snow System. Although Han Diao Si's strength according to the original work is not even in the top ten, he has a good chance of squeezing into the top thirty. This also means that his destiny body bonus is enough to help him enter the Dharma Realm and set his sights on the Tianyan Realm.
In addition, he holds the important position of the Supervisor of the Western Factory. If the other party can reach some tacit understanding with the now weird Jade Emperor, he will definitely get some support from extraterrestrial resources.
Then thinking about this period of time, he had put so much effort into the Six Gates, and suddenly he felt as if he was making things easier for the other party.
At this moment, Cao Zhengchun was not the only one who was unsettled.
There were also ministers under the altar who began to accept the true side of Jade Emperor again.
Thinking of the upcoming succession ceremony, everyone present was originally strongly opposed to it, but now a small number of them feel that this decision is correct.
After all, if this uncle-in-law is placed on the throne again, the other party might find an opportunity to kill another family.
After personally experiencing the emperor's mighty power, at least 90% of the ministers did not dare to speak loudly in the following morning court sessions, for fear of angering this emperor.
Now when I think about the moments when we used to have fun in the court, it is true that happiness is only a thing of the past and cannot be recalled.
So it is good to pass on the throne, because no matter how bad the case is, it cannot be more terrifying than this gentleman.
It was the first time since the establishment of the Great Xuan Dynasty that the nine clans were executed. The only thing that made the ministers feel fortunate was that when establishing the positions of the five supreme pillars of the state, the seventeenth Emperor Xuan not only restricted them to Zhongxuan Province, but also issued an order that the clans of the supreme pillars of the state were not allowed to marry with ministers in the court.
If the one who was to execute the nine clans this time was one of the six ministers, it is estimated that half of the people present would be included in the nine clans.
While everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts, the three supreme pillars of the state, who were like thorns in their sides, were paying close attention to the battle in the sky.
They clearly noticed that Emperor Xuan's attitude towards Cao Changqing was slightly different, and it was also because he asked the young eunuch to force Cao Changqing into a fight in advance. Otherwise, the other party would get hot-headed and might be fooled by Liu Zhengtang and bleed to death on the spot.
After all, everyone could see that Cao Changqing cared a lot about Emperor Xuan's promise, so much so that the usually calm Cao official had an unusually rich expression.
At the same time, this matter does not end here.
With the strength Cao Zhengqing just displayed, I'm afraid even that ordinary and unknown eunuch will not be able to stop him, and another wave of bloody storm will surely be set off next.
This is also an opportunity that the three Supreme Pillars of the State believe they can seize.
So what if the Jade Emperor is invincible in military power? In this imperial city, everyone must abide by the political rules that have evolved over thousands of years.
The reason why Liu Zhengtang died was that he violated the rules first.
so.
boom!
Looking at Cao Changqing falling heavily in front of him, his blue clothes were covered with countless dust, and his previous elegant temperament was shattered to the ground, leaving behind a big pig head that was so swollen that even the eyeballs could not be seen.
Crush!
Just like Cao Changqing crushed the four Hidden Dragon Envoys.
The strength of that unknown eunuch also caused absolute suppression to Cao Guanzi, who mastered the rules of space and achieved both civil and military skills to a certain extent!
Broken!
The confidence of the three supreme pillars was shattered!
Because their plan was to launch an attack in the name of the Five Great Pillars of the State after Cao Changqing won, but now Cao Changqing has been beaten into a Cao Changzhu, so how could it be difficult to launch an attack in the name of a dog head?
Wait for the next person.
Perhaps the next successor chosen by the Jade Emperor will be more talkative, and the promises that were not kept before may be fulfilled by him.
In short, knowing that there was such a monster-level master hiding beside Yuhuangtian, they had completely lost the will to continue fighting.
The so-called political rules also need sufficient support.
The premise for mutual compromise is that both sides have the means to make the other side bow down.
And at this moment, unless the power of the five supreme pillars in the military for hundreds of years can be suppressed in one fell swoop, a complete Six Paths Legion must stand up first.
As this thought came to their minds, the two Supreme Pillars of the State looked at the man who was standing a little closer to them.
He has frowning eyebrows, curly beard and a sturdy build. Even when he bends slightly, he looks like a sleeping tiger. He is Xu Xiao, one of the five supreme pillars of the country, and the commander of the Shura Path in the Six Paths Legion.
[Xu Xiao, from "The Snowy Swordsman", is the father of the protagonist Xu Fengnian, and the only remaining king of a different surname in the Liyang Dynasty, the King of Beiliang.
He ruled the three northwestern states and met Empress Murong when he was young. He joined the army and killed people at the age of ten. He killed the Huns in Jinzhou in the northeast, destroyed the six kingdoms and slaughtered more than seventy cities in the south, and then suppressed the sixteen tribes of barbarians in the southwest. During the war against Western Chu, he was hit by a stray arrow in his left leg and left with a slight limp.
He personally led the most powerful Snow Camp Dragon Cavalry. He is currently fighting against the Northern Mang Army of 350,000. He died peacefully in his bed shortly after handing over the throne to Xu Fengnian in Northern Liang.
When Xu Xiao noticed the two gazes from behind and the hint of enthusiasm in those eyes.
He suddenly calmed down and thought back to what had happened since he stepped onto the altar, whether it was Liu Zhengtang's performance or Cao Changqing's abnormality, plus the fact that he had clearly accepted the memory of his fateful body, he believed that he must not repeat the same mistake again.
But he lost his mind and started to fight for this arsenic that looks like honey.
It is true that he is ambitious, but after realizing the truth that there is always someone better than you, his ambitions will no longer extend beyond his current niche, let alone replicating the achievements of the eight great families, which is a road of no return.
After all, the former had the experience of failure at the forefront, while Shi Guanyin, the head of the Yunyueshi family, who first surrendered to King Wuwei, then surrendered to Shaohou Mansion, and then returned to the embrace of the Daxuan Dynasty, was now standing not far away as the most conspicuous negative example.
Now as the patriarch of one of the eight great families, she can only stand in the same row with Lu Yulou, who is good at tricks, and Li Qianshou, the leader of Tianyi Pavilion, who has only face but no power.
This was not the future he expected.
So, what's the problem?
Xu Xiao turned around and took a glance. Compared to the densely packed heads bowed, there was a man in black leaning against the door of the altar, but it seemed that no one noticed the man's appearance.
And the moment Xu Xiao's eyes met his, his heart seemed to skip a beat.
His face is similar to Yuhuangtian's, but more mature, more stern, and more indifferent.
At the same time, he had seen this person before. When he was a child, he saw a luxurious young man who came to visit him. His generosity made him unforgettable for the rest of his life, but the other party's temperament was completely different from now.
Even after all these years, the reason why he could recognize the other person was because his father described the other person's dragon chin as having the appearance of a dominant person, as well as the facial symbol of five pillars on the forehead.
'He is.'
Just as Xu Xiao was lost in his memories, the decision on the fate of Cao Changqing was made by Yu Huangtian alone.
"Cao Changqing will temporarily resign from his position as the commander of the Human World and go to the Jingying Building in the Worship Hall to reflect on his actions for three months."
Compared to Liu Zhengtang who directly executed nine generations of his clan, Cao Changqing's action in front of the altar was also extremely disrespectful, but this way of punishment was like raising it high and then putting it down gently.
At this moment, Cao Changqing naturally couldn't say anything, his head was swollen like a pig!
But a strange voice suddenly sounded.
"Wait a minute, this method of punishment is inappropriate."
