Chapter 2783: Resurrection From the Dead, Slapping All the Ministers

When the rebels saw this scene, they cheered and shouted happily.

"He's dead, he's dead! Hahahaha, this killer Shura is finally dead."

"Chop him up, chop him up to avenge our brothers."

After that, the rebels rushed forward and hacked Xu Qian'an to pieces. Suddenly, a flying sword broke through the air, circled the crowd, and killed several soldiers in the front.

Then, four warriors who looked like gods and demons broke through the wall and led a group of armored soldiers to kill in. At this time, there were still more than 300 rebels, but facing this surprise army, they were no better than leeks. Lives were harvested one by one, soldiers fell one by one, and the strong smell of blood was nauseating.

After cleaning up the rebels, the Feiyan Army saw a scene that they would never forget. At the entrance of the courtyard, a young man stood proudly, his body full of arrows, and at his feet were corpses lying. He stood on the pile of corpses, leaning on a knife, with no life in his body, his eyes dim, but giving people a firm belief.

Li Miaozhen, wearing a scarlet cloak, stood in front of Xu Qi'an's body, his back was a little lonely, his eyes were red, like a lump in his throat.

"I'm sorry, I'm late."

A centurion of the Feiyan Army came over and his eyes stayed on Xu Qi'an. He had admiration on his face, his back straightened, his scales made a collision sound, and he saluted Xu Qi'an with his fists.

Hualala! The sound of the scales colliding was a piece of sound, and more than 400 Feiyan soldiers clasped their fists at the same time, in unison. They may not know who the young man standing at the entrance of the courtyard is, what his name is, but they respect him from the bottom of their hearts.

"Go in and see if the governor is dead or alive."

Li Miaozhen's voice was a little hollow, staring at Xu Qi'an's body in a daze, feeling extremely sad.

"Are you stupid?"

"Yes!"

The centurion responded, retracted his gaze, bypassed Xu Qian'an, and ran into the courtyard

Bang! The centurion pushed open the door and saw the night watchmen sitting cross-legged on the ground, and saw the intact but pale Governor Zhang.

Despair appeared on everyone's faces, and they looked at the centurion who broke in with hatred, full of determination. The only way now was to die!

The centurion was stunned by this, and felt the tragic determination of everyone, and hurriedly explained.

"I am the centurion of the Feiyan Army, Li Hu, you are saved."

Feiyan Army? !

The night watchmen looked at each other, the Feiyan Army actually came at this time, they were saved, and they were saved from a desperate situation.

"Huh!"

Governor Zhang staggered, and the tight string finally relaxed. He held the table hard to prevent himself from falling.

"How is Ning Yan, the Tongluo who was fighting outside!"

Governor Zhang anxiously asked the centurion about Xu Qi'an's safety, and the others also looked over.

The centurion froze when he heard this, and looked at the people who were very concerned, and began to avoid their eyes, not daring to look at their eyes, because they had hope in their eyes, and wanted to get good news from him.

"He... died in battle!"

Governor Zhang and others rushed out of the hall, crossed the courtyard, and came to Xu Qi'an. But what they saw was just a broken human figure, full of arrows and knife wounds, without any signs of life.

For no reason, the last chant of the young man echoed in their ears, and they couldn't help but recite it.

"The young man was chivalrous, and made friends with the heroes of the five cities. He was brave and his hair stood up. In the conversation, life and death are the same. A promise is worth a thousand gold!"

A promise is worth a thousand gold! The people of the Feiyan Army looked at Governor Zhang and others with tears in their eyes, and felt an inexplicable heaviness, and couldn't help but join in and recite together.

"The young man is full of chivalry, making friends with heroes from the five cities. He is brave and his hair stands on end. In the conversation, we are willing to die together. A promise is worth a thousand gold!"

The voice shook the void, sad and solemn, and the whole courtyard was plunged into grief.

Thousands of miles away, in Kyoto City, there was a quiet and peaceful life, and the years were quiet and good. Who knew that in Yunzhou, countless people were fighting to protect this beautiful and peaceful life! There is no such thing as a quiet life, but someone is carrying the burden for you!

In Wu'an Marquis Mansion, Xu Zisheng stared at the void, brought the teacup in his hand to his mouth, took a sip, with a bit of appreciation on his face, he saw everything that happened in Yunzhou, and said with a smile.

"He still has some blood. With the help of this crisis, he has completely stepped into the realm of refining the spirit and forged a superior foundation!"

The warrior tempers himself and uses human power to fight against the power of heaven and earth. This body does not only refer to the physical body, but also to the unity of the three elements of spirit, energy and spirit. Below the third grade, warriors mainly focus on strengthening the physical body and breathing to practice qi. Only the seventh grade of refining the spirit is to temper the primordial spirit, so this realm is particularly important.

Ordinary warriors refine the spirit, but they only initially explore the limit, which is the lower level. Only those who constantly break through the limit in desperate situations are the upper level. The more solid the foundation laid at this stage, the deeper the foundation of the warrior will be when he reaches the high grade in the future, which can lay the foundation for the promotion to the second grade of the realm of harmony in the future.

"Well done, it's a pity to die! Thanks to the righteousness I just used, I captured a ray of your vitality and kept it in the Dharma phase diagram, which can help you come back to life."

Xu Zisheng put down the teacup in his hand, raised his right hand, flicked his finger, and a righteousness tore open the void, merged into it, and disappeared.

In the hall of the post station, the bodies of Xu Qian'an, two silver gongs, and one copper gong were parked in the center of the hall, covered with white cloth.

Xu Qian'an was hit by thirty-one arrows and had more than sixty knife wounds. It was an extremely tragic scene. At this time, the arrows on his body had been removed and his bloody face had been cleaned.

Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao, who were sleepless late at night, came downstairs tacitly, brought two chairs, sat on the left and right sides of Xu Qiyan, and did not speak, just sat there quietly to accompany him.

A man's sorrow is silent, and cannot be expressed in words, but it is particularly deep.

Suddenly, Xu Qiyan's body under the white cloth moved, and a stream of righteousness merged into Xu Qiyan's body without Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao noticing. A ray of vitality surged out of the Dharma picture in his arms, merged with the righteousness just now, and spread into Xu Qiyan's body, constantly swimming, making the already silent heart start working again.

"Plop! Plop!"

The faint but clear heartbeat sounded, and the blood that had stopped flowing started to flow again, providing vitality to the whole body. Xu Qiyan's fingers trembled slightly, his nose began to breathe, and the white cloth covering his face trembled slightly.

Song Tingfeng wiped his eyes in a daze. Tears blurred his vision. He must have seen it wrong just now. Xu Qi'an was already dead. How could the white cloth still move? I was too sad!

"Breathe!"

The white cloth kept shaking up and down. Song Tingfeng opened his mouth wide and grabbed Zhu Guangxiao who was looking down sadly, saying in horror.

"It's a corpse, Xu Qi'an is a corpse!"

Zhu Guangxiao looked up suddenly when he heard it. The white cloth covering Xu Qi'an was shaking up and down with his breathing, as if it was haunted. He frowned and suddenly seemed to react. He came forward suddenly, lifted the white cloth, and put his hand in front of Xu Qi'an's nose.

A stream of air passed by, and Zhu Guangxiao showed ecstasy on his face, and shouted excitedly.

"He's alive, breathing!"

"He's alive!"

Song Tingfeng reacted after hearing this, and rushed over suddenly, looking extremely excited. He stretched out his right hand and placed it in front of Xu Qi'an's nostrils. As expected, he felt a faint and warm breath, and he also shouted loudly.

"He's alive, he's not dead, he's alive again!"

Countless people were startled, and there was a lot of noise. Countless figures rushed here. Everyone did the same thing as Song Tingfeng and the others, putting their fingers in front of Xu Qi'an's nose, feeling the faint breath, ecstatic, and shouting wildly.

"He's not dead, he's alive again!"

"I said that good people don't live long, and evil people will last for thousands of years. How could this kid die so easily? I shed a few tears in vain. If he doesn't ask me to go to the Jiaofangsi to find the courtesan, I will definitely not agree!"

Jiang Luzhong looked ecstatic, tears flowed from his eyes, but he said fierce words.

"That's right. This guy has slept with almost all the courtesans in the Jiaofangsi. We must not let him off easily this time. We must let him ask us to find a courtesan!"

In the imperial study, an urgent memorial from eight hundred miles away arrived in Kyoto City and was placed on the desk of Emperor Yuan Jing. All the important officials in the court gathered here at this time. Xu Zisheng, the chief minister Wang Wenzhen, Wei Yuan, the ministers of various departments, the assistant ministers, etc., all looked at Emperor Yuan Jing with a solemn expression.

Emperor Yuan Jing looked down at the ministers in the hall, with great majesty, and said in a deep voice.

"This morning, there was an urgent document from Yunzhou from eight hundred miles away. The Yunzhou case has already had a result. The one who colluded with the Wushen Cult, supported the mountain bandits, and transported military supplies was Song Changfu, the governor of Yunzhou."

As if a bomb had fallen, the ministers exploded and were horrified. Then, there was an uncontrollable discussion and scolding, but some of them were not surprised, and obviously knew the news.

Expedited documents must first pass through the cabinet, and then be transferred to the Communications Department. The Communications Department is responsible for receiving and delivering the emperor's orders and communicating the situation below. It is a government office that specializes in checking and approving official documents for the emperor, reporting the opinions of the subjects in all directions, petitions, and military disasters.

The cabinet is the territory of Wang Shoufu. Of course, the cabinet has no right to privately open the expedited documents, but after the emperor reads them, the first thing to do is to report the contents of the documents to the cabinet, and then hold a meeting, so Wang Wenzhen and others have already received first-hand information.

Wei Yuan controls the night watchmen and has his own sources of intelligence. He has even made arrangements for Yunzhou's affairs, so he naturally knew the news a long time ago.

Finally, there is Xu Zisheng. He has a keen eye for the nine heavens and ten earths. He has watched the live broadcast, so he naturally knows the news, even more clearly and comprehensively than Wei Yuan and others.

"Silence!"

The big companion beside Emperor Yuan Jing shouted several times to quiet down the ministers.

"Listen to me, everyone."

The gray-haired eunuch in a python robe glanced at the eunuch in the corner and nodded slightly. The eunuch stepped forward, unfolded the document in his hand, and read aloud.

"Your servant Zhang Xingying, I kowtow: The Yunzhou case was concluded on January 24th, and the traitors Song Changfu, Yang You, Chen Ming and 34 others have all been executed."

"Today, Yunzhou has returned to its original state, and the major case has been concluded. This is the merit of the court's education and the merit of your majesty's virtue and wisdom.

"Jiang Luzhong of Jinluo has protected me all the way and worked diligently. Yang Yan of Jinluo risked his life and led the army to attack the rebels. He made great contributions to suppressing the rebellion, preventing the rebels from burning, killing, looting, and poisoning the people of Yunzhou. They have made great contributions!"

"Zhao Bin of Yinluo and Hu of Tangshan died at the hands of the Wushen Cult's dream witch to protect me. They died without regrets. Their loyalty and courage are overwhelming. I am deeply saddened! "

"Tongluo Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao made many contributions during the investigation and helped Xu Qian'an find evidence. In order to protect the evidence, they did not hesitate to feed ghosts with their bodies, which led to a great loss of blood. In the process of suppressing the rebels, they led the way and were not afraid of life and death. Their patriotism is touching!"

From the Golden Gong to the Bronze Gong, Governor Zhang praised the merits one by one, writing in great detail and with great care. Wei Yuan listened in silence. Even when he heard that the two Silver Gongs had died in the line of duty, this powerful official who never showed his emotions remained expressionless and showed no emotion.

"Bronze Gong Xu Qi'an, in the process of going south, uncovered the iron ore smuggling case. This matter has been mentioned in the previous report and will not be elaborated. But in the Yunzhou case, Xu Qi'an almost single-handedly solved all kinds of clues and found evidence. It was also he who discovered Song Changfu's conspiracy, which turned the case around and made the envoy not blame the loyal and good. After the incident was exposed, Song Changfu was desperate and summoned the rebels to close the city gates and besiege and kill me in the governor's office. When I was in a desperate situation, Xu Qi'an fought with hundreds of rebels alone, killed more than 200 enemies, and finally died of exhaustion. I dare to ask for a posthumous title. I am in Yunzhou and hope to see the emperor soon. Zhang Xingying bowed again."

After reading, the eunuch put away the long memorial and retreated. Emperor Yuan Jing glanced at the ministers who were talking and clamoring among themselves. His expression was deep, and it was hard to see through his mind.

"What do you think of what Zhang Xingying said?"

"Wei Yuan, Wei Yuan, Wei Yuan!"

Emperor Yuan Jing shouted three times, louder and louder each time.

Wei Yuan was shocked and came back to his senses from his trance. He was confused by the news that Xu Qi'an died in battle. He was his own son. How could he die in Yunzhou?

Xu Zisheng looked at Wei Yuan who was in a trance, his mouth corners slightly raised, and he secretly complained in his heart.

"If I didn't know that Wei Yuan had lost a good chicken, I would really think that Xu Qi'an was his son. This reaction was too big. He was not moved at all when two silver gongs were sacrificed, but he was confused when Xu Qi'an died in battle!"

Emperor Yuan Jing raised the corner of his mouth, as if he had rarely caught Wei Yuan's handle, and said with a smile.

"Lord Wei seems to be in a bad mood. Zhang Xingying strangled the rebellion in Yunzhou in the cradle. This is also your credit. Is Lord Wei unhappy?"

Wei Yuan remained silent, feeling a little heavy in his heart. He did not want to answer Emperor Yuan Jing's question. This was the first time he treated Emperor Yuan Jing so disrespectfully.

The Minister of Rites, Zuodu, jumped out and shouted at Wei Yuan loudly.

"Wei Yuan, your majesty is asking you a question!"

Wei Yuan still did not answer. His face was extremely calm. The deep calmness made people feel an invisible pressure. The Minister of Rites was instantly mute and did not dare to shout again.

"Forget it!"

Emperor Yuan Jing seemed to be in a particularly good mood. He waved his hand and discussed the memorial with the ministers, and rewarded the night watchmen according to their merits.

When it came to Xu Qian'an, there were differences on the posthumous title. A small number of ministers agreed to grant the title. More people said it was inappropriate. In fact, there was nothing wrong. The title was not an official position, but a reward for meritorious people and a means for the court to win people's hearts.

In Xu Qiyan's case, it was a posthumous title, which was only a posthumous honor. But Xu Qiyan was Wei Yuan's confidant, and it was the instinct of the civil officials to argue with Wei Yuan. As long as they could make Wei Yuan uncomfortable, they would be happy.

Among the civil officials, the Minister of Rites was the most excited, making an impassioned speech and pointing out the shortcomings. In short, it was just one sentence.

"Xu Qiyan doesn't deserve it!"

The Minister of Rites was a member of the Wang Party. His immediate superior was ruined in the Sangpo case. The new Minister of Rites was Wei Yuan's man, who made him suffer a lot. If he could make things difficult for Wei Yuan, he would naturally work very hard.

The attitude of the ministers made Emperor Yuan Jing hesitate. He didn't know why he always felt a little disgusted with Xu Qiyan. He was even happy that Xu Qiyan died in battle.

At this moment, Xu Zisheng suddenly stood up and walked in front of the Minister of Rites. With a snap, Xu Zisheng slapped the Minister of Rites to the ground with a slap. With frost on his face, he looked down at the furious Minister of Rites and said with a chill.

"The magic weapon of a country lies in rewards and punishments. If rewards and punishments are clear, the country will prosper. If rewards and punishments are unclear, the country will decline!"

"Xu Qian'an has made great contributions and should be rewarded according to the law! But you have used national affairs as a tool for political struggle. If you dare to say another word, I will kill you!"

"Wow!"

The imperial study room exploded instantly. Everyone looked at Xu Zisheng, with shock and anger, as if they were the ones who were slapped.

In the history of Dafeng, there are many examples of ministers with bad tempers fighting in the court, but they definitely do not involve big men like Xu Zisheng.

The six ministers are all important ministers in the court, big men. Such people are all old foxes with deep minds and deep mansions. How could they do such reckless and impulsive things?

While the thoughts of the court officials were floating, the professional trolls did not have to think so much. Several left-handed officials of the six ministries rushed out in a panic and shouted.

"Your Majesty, Xu Zisheng hit people in public. He has no respect for Your Majesty and the law. Please issue an order to behead this beast."

The Imperial Censor did not need to think so much. He just needed to fight to the death when he got the handle. Immediately, many ministers agreed and the crowd was excited. It seemed that Xu Zisheng's crimes were beyond description and would not be tolerated by heaven!

Xu Zisheng slowly turned around and stepped forward again. He came in front of several Imperial Censors. He raised his right hand again and slapped them several times. There were several more people with disheveled hair and swollen faces on the ground.

"Shut up! You only know how to bark every day. You don't dare to do anything human. You dare to be so presumptuous in front of me!"

Xu Zisheng's slaps stunned everyone. It was not enough for you to hit one person. You actually hit several Imperial Censors. This is too cruel.

Emperor Yuan Jing's face was livid. He looked at Xu Zisheng, who was sharp and fearless. He took a deep breath and barely suppressed the anger in his heart. He found the knife himself, so he couldn't show it even if he regretted it. He pressed his hand, waited for the ministers to calm down, and then spoke slowly.

"Xu Qi'an solved such a complicated and suspenseful case in a few months. It was really amazing. Such a talent died in the line of duty, which was a loss to our court. Let's do as Zhang Xingying said.

"Xu Zisheng beat the court official in court and violated the law. He will be fined for one year."

Xu Zisheng didn't care about his salary. It was not enough for him to go to the Jiaofangsi several times. He was born in Wu'an Marquis Mansion and his family was rich. A one-year fine was not painful for him. It was just a drop in the bucket.

The ministers were not surprised by Emperor Yuan Jing's light punishment. Although they were very disappointed, they would not be naive to think that they could overthrow Xu Zisheng with this matter. He was the number one Confucianist in the world.
