Chapter 2810 Open the Door and Wish for a Happy New Year!

"The King of Zhenbei fell, and he also massacred 380,000 innocent people in Chuzhou City?!"

The imperial guards in the palace were stunned and looked at the thin coffin in disbelief. Their eyes widened and their mouths opened. This news was so subversive that it was enough to cause an uproar both inside and outside the court.

In the face of such earth-shattering news, no one could manage their emotions well, and the discussion exploded instantly. Even if Emperor Yuan Jing was present, he could not silence the imperial guards.

Emperor Yuan Jing raised his hand and pointed into the distance. His pale and bloodless lips slowly opened and he spat out a word.

"roll!"

Xu Qifang was deafened and mute, ignoring Emperor Yuan Jing's anger and continued to ask.

"When is Your Majesty going to tell the world about the crime of King Zhenbei?!"

"Xu Qian!"

Emperor Yuan Jing suddenly roared out of control, his whole body trembling with anger, his chest seemed to explode, and he roared angrily.

"Do you really think that I don't dare to kill you? I will kill you now, and I will kill you now!"

Emperor Yuan Jing was so angry that he tried to draw the sword of the imperial guard beside him, intending to chop Xu Qi'an, the little silver gong that was designed to poke his heart.

"Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body and resign from your humble position."

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Xu Qi'an immediately stood up and ran away quickly.

"Get out of here, get out of here!"

Emperor Yuan Jing's angry gaze swept across the envoy, roaring, and extremely excited.

When Zheng Xinghuai saw this, he wanted to be tough, but the censor on the side grabbed his sleeve, bowed to him, and walked away. Everyone in the envoy dispersed and did not communicate much in private, but what should be said and what should be discussed had already been finalized on the official ship.

…

Just after lunch, under the leadership of Chief Assistant Wang Wenzhen, the ministers gathered and went straight to the north gate of the imperial study, but were stopped by the imperial army.

Emperor Yuan Jing seemed to have expected such an outburst. Checkpoints were set up at the entrance of the palace in advance. No one was allowed to enter or exit. The ministers were not surprised to be blocked outside.

"Go away, we want to meet you."

"The king of Zhenbei was heartbroken and deserved his death. However, his death has not yet been decided. We will avenge the 380,000 people in Chuzhou City."

Some officials stood up, looked excited, shouted loudly, and shouted at the imperial guards with awe-inspiring justice.

"As a prince, killing the people is not a pity. The King of Huai should be demoted to a commoner and expose his body in the wilderness to give an explanation to the world."

The crowd was agitated, and court officials wearing various official robes began to rush through the checkpoints, preparing to force their way into the palace.

"presumptuous!"

The captain of the Royal Forest Army stood up, holding the hilt of his sword, looking majestic, glaring at the ministers, and scolding loudly.

"If you dare to break into the palace without permission, you will be killed without mercy!"

"Pooh!"

The gray-haired Zheng Xinghuai spat a mouthful of thick phlegm at the captain. He was not afraid at all and said loudly with anger.

"I am standing here today. If you have the guts, you can chop me down."

"Don't dare, you are my grandson!"

The captain of the Royal Forest Army avoided the spray of phlegm, and his scalp became numb. How could he dare to take action? If he aroused the anger of the officials, he would be the first to be killed by Emperor Yuan Jing as an outcast to calm the crowd. The minister's wrath.

Although breaking into the palace without permission is a capital offense, rules are rules and reality is reality. In the past, there were cases where ministers were so angry that they broke into the palace. The correct approach was to stop them with all their strength. They would rather be beaten than to actually draw swords on these civil servants, otherwise they would end badly.

Who are these people in front of me? These are the people who are described as the chief minister of the dynasty, a bachelor of the cabinet, a minister of the six bureaus, a minister, a high-ranking official in the Hanlin Academy, a minister in the six subjects, and the Duke of Gonggun.

Fortunately, the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army were strong and strong, and it was no problem to block these civil servants. Even if they were spat on, kicked, or slapped, they would not take a step back.

However, the troublesome thing is that the more the imperial army refused to give in, the more violent the civil servants became. At first, more than a dozen court officials were making trouble. Gradually, other petty officials in the Imperial City Yamen also joined in the fun. .

There was a commotion at the gate of the city, and the two sides were in a stalemate. At this moment, an elegant carriage stopped in the street in the distance. The curtain opened and two people came out. It was Xu Zisheng, the great scholar of Wenhua Palace, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and his new husband. The little brother who accepted it promised a happy new year.

Xu Zisheng looked extremely calm, looking at the scene in front of him. The civil servants were cursing wantonly, and the imperial guards tried their best to stop them. It was a chaotic scene.

"Emperor Yuan Jing actually asked the imperial guards to block the door. It seems he still doesn't want to bow his head. But if you are in the first grade of junior high school, I will be in the fifteenth grade!"

Xu Zisheng's thoughts turned and Emperor Yuan Jing closed the door, so he opened the door to let the dogs out, no, let Xu New Year go! Xu Zisheng

He looked back at Xu New Year and said to him with admiration on his face.

"Looking at the meaning of the person in the palace, it seems that he does not want to convict King Zhenbei. The civil servant's pen is very powerful, but his words are almost meaningless."

"Xu New Year, it's your turn! Let them see the style of Yunlu Academy's number one quarrel master. Give me a good scolding. The harder you scold me, the more limelight you will gain, and the better it will be for your future future."

"Master Marquis, just wait, I'll come as soon as I can."

"Three hundred and eighty thousand innocent lives were lost, and the princes of the imperial court massacred their own people. Looking at the history books, there are very few such cruel and cruel people. If I can't express my feelings directly today, I will have wasted my nineteen years of reading the books of sages in the New Year! "

Xu Xinyin was filled with indignation and excitement, just like Guan Yunchang who killed Hua Xiong with warm wine. He was full of confidence. He came outside the crowd, his anger dropped from his Dantian, his face was very ferocious, and he shouted angrily.

"You guys, get out of the way! Let me come."

One man is in charge, and ten thousand men can't open it. At this time, Xu Xinnian is the strongest king in the quarrel. His momentum is amazing. The noise around him suddenly disappears, and the scene becomes quiet.

The civil servants frowned and turned around. It turned out to be Xu Cijiu, a scholar from the Hanlin Academy. In many people's minds, they unconsciously recalled the scene of Xu Cijiu's sharp words and the angry Buddhist Master Jingchen who was furious during the Buddhist fight, and they silently stepped aside.

Chief Assistant Wang Wenzhen turned his head slightly and looked at Xu New Year expressionlessly. Although his expression was cold, he did not look away, as if he was expecting something from him.

Xu New Year turned a deaf ear to the looks around him, took a deep breath, and cursed loudly.

"I heard that King Huai slaughtered the city and exterminated the species for his own selfish purposes. My mother, sincerely, did not like her, so I came here!"

Time passed by, the sun gradually moved westward, and Xu Erlang's voice gradually became the only voice left at the palace gate. This curse lasted for two full hours.

Xu New Year's scolding was very good. He scolded in classical Chinese and dictated his sentiments on the spot. He quoted from classics and recited all kinds of allusions. The vocabulary is so rich that it is staggering, but it avoids all the sensitive points of the royal family very well, leaving nothing to say.

More and more civil servants gathered together, from old ministers to new nobles. They looked at Xu Erlang with eyes full of reverence, which was an eye-opener! If there was a subject in the imperial court that was about swearing, they would be willing to praise the New Year as the top one.

Even Wang Wenzhen, the first assistant who had experienced decades of verbal and verbal criticism in the court, now had the thought in his heart that if he took this son under his command, he would no longer have any rivals in the court battle.

"It's just a pity that we started too late. This Xu New Year is already Xu Zisheng's!"

Wang Wenzhen turned her head and looked at Xu Zisheng, who was watching the excitement with his arms folded, and sighed in her heart. This young man had a more irritable temper and was much more difficult to deal with than Xu New Year.

The imperial guards were all scolded by Xu New Year and lowered their heads. Their faces were full of decadence. They begged their grandfather to sue their grandmother, hoping that this guy would shut up quickly.

"Master Xu, moisten your throat!"

A civil servant brought tea, and Xu Xinnian had moistened his throat several times in the past two hours. The civil servants willingly served him tea and water, only begging him to continue scolding. Xu New Year's talent for scolding had completely conquered the officials present. It was the first time that they knew how to scold people like this. They had gained experience. The argument was filled with disdain.

Xu New Year took a sip, handed the tea cup back, and was about to continue cursing. Suddenly, the old eunuch beside Emperor Yuan Jing came out angrily and yelled at Xu New Year.

"Shut up, don't curse anymore, don't curse anymore!"

"You, you, you... you are simply presumptuous. It has been six hundred years since the founding of Dafeng. How could you ever be like this, blocking the palace gate and scolding me for two hours?"

The old eunuch was so angry that he jumped up and down. He had never seen a scholar who was so capable of scolding, and the scolding was so cunning and sinister that it made people furious and wanted to tear Xu New Year's foul mouth off.

Xu New Year's expression was indifferent, he glanced at the old eunuch and said with great contempt.

"My father-in-law, please don't talk to me. I hate nonsense the most."

Xu Zisheng knew the elegance of his words, his eyes glanced over the old eunuch's crotch, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He did not want Xu New Year to offend the old eunuch. After all, he was the chief companion of Emperor Yuan Jing, and his status and power were not weaker than those of the six departments. Shangshu was even closer to Emperor Yuan Jing. As long as he said something bad, Xu New Year would be in trouble. Xu Zisheng knew it was time to take action, so he asked the old eunuch.

"Your Majesty, are you willing to see us?"

The old eunuch nodded, shook his head, and then said.

"Your Majesty said that only the chief minister was in sight, and the rest of the people retreated quickly and were not allowed to gather at the palace gate again."

Xu Zisheng snorted coldly, winked at Xu New Year, and said in a deep voice.

"Keep scolding. When will His Majesty stop being such a coward? Please stop!"

Xu Zisheng rudely called Emperor Yuan Jing a coward, which was disrespectful. If Xu Xinnian had said these words, he would have been thrown into prison. However, these words came from Xu Zisheng's mouth. The old eunuch pretended to be deaf and did not hear. With a look of embarrassment on his face, he stamped his feet and went back again.

"I heard that King Huai had no children and deserved to be exterminated. This kind of maniac killed innocent people indiscriminately."

Xu New Year cursed again, spitting like a kettle. The face of the imperial guard standing in front of him was wet, and he showed an expression that he would rather die than live.

The old eunuch passed through the royal study and entered the palace, bowed and saluted.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Xu disagrees that your Majesty only summoned the chief minister. All the officials are still blocking the palace gate, and the crowd is excited!"

After hearing this, Emperor Yuan Jing slowly opened his eyes. The fierce light frightened the old eunuch, and he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look any further.

"Xu Zisheng, hateful!"

At this time, Emperor Yuan Jing already knew the details of the battle in Chuzhou. Xu Zisheng was distracted and cut the King of Zhenbei into pieces in front of tens of thousands of soldiers. , even the last blood pill was taken away by Xu Zisheng.

At this time, Emperor Yuan Jing hated Xu Zisheng in his heart, but he had no choice but to do so. Xu Zisheng was an unusual official. He was not only a cabinet scholar, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and the spokesperson of the Wuxun Group, but he was also the number one Confucian scholar today and a master of the second-grade Confucian realm. Even if he is the monarch of a country and the supreme emperor, there is nothing he can do to him. The most he can do is to remove Xu Zisheng from his official position. However, this will inevitably lead to an imbalance of power in the court, triggering a chain reaction, and the gain outweighs the loss!

"Damn it, hate it!"

Emperor Yuan Jing's voice became more and more excited. He swept his hands fiercely and scattered all the memorial items on the desk to the ground with a crackling sound. The four treasures of the study were shattered to pieces.

The old eunuch's whole body trembled, his head lowered a bit, and his whole body even shrank into a ball, trying his best to reduce his sense of existence.

"Just let them stay outside the palace gate. I want to see how many days they can hold on?"

Star Observation Tower, Bagua Tower. Jian Zheng, dressed in white as snow, with white hair and white beard, stood on the edge of the Bagua platform, with his hands behind his hands, overlooking the entire capital. The night wind blew up the corners of his clothes and stroked his white beard, with an immortal air, like a banished immortal.

"I heard that King Zhenbei died in the north."

A deep voice sounded, the tone was low and plain, just like a conversation between old friends, giving people an unfathomable feeling. Behind the prison, a figure in white clothes appeared, it was King Da Fengbi, a fourth-level warlock. Yang Qianhuan.

The master and the apprentice stood back to back, both standing with their hands behind their backs. They were both dressed in white as snow. For a moment, the two of them were really equally powerful and elegant.

Jian Zheng hummed and did not look back. I chuckled and said.

"Some people wake up laughing when they sleep."

Yang Qianhuan murmured in his heart, not knowing who the teacher was talking about, but his tone was still as indifferent as an outsider, and he imitated Jian Zheng and hummed.

Jian Zheng has long been accustomed to this disciple's temper and ignores it. As long as Yang Qianhuan is not thinking about holding the sun and moon and picking up stars in front of him, there is no one like me in the world, so Jian Zheng doesn't bother to argue with him.

"Xu Zisheng, who killed King Zhenbei, killed four third-level masters in Chuzhou. It made people's blood boil. I can't wait to replace him. However, I feel much better when I think that Xu Qi'an is also not in the limelight. This kid It's very hateful that you keep taking away opportunities from me. He must be jealous when he sees Xu Zisheng in Chuzhou!"

Yang Qianhuan felt extremely happy. His archenemy Xu Qian was finally out of the limelight this time, and he said with a smile.

"Xu Zisheng!"

Jian Zheng knew some secrets that ordinary people didn't know. For example, Xu Zisheng fought against his great disciple and killed a clone. The only sub-sage in Confucianism for two hundred years, he was so talented and so tyrannical that he felt Shocked.

The next day, all the ministers gathered at the palace gate again. Emperor Yuan Jing still went his own way and stubbornly asked the imperial guards to prevent the ministers from meeting. Xu Zisheng opened the door again and let the dogs out. Xu New Year, the master of quarreling at Yunlu Academy, had brewed a lot of things last night. The curse words once again showed off their power and attracted the attention of hundreds of officials, who all looked at him with admiration.

As the incident unfolded, the Zhenbei King Massacre case was no longer limited to the officialdom. In the market, all the three religions and nine schools heard about this and were shocked.

Taverns, teahouses, and brothels are places that can be called information distribution centers. People come to listen and talk about them all day long.

"The King of Zhenbei was so cruel and inhumane that he took 380,000 lives for an entire city. How could he be so cruel?"

Some people slapped the table and cursed angrily, scattering food and wine all over the table, but ignored them.

Now in the market, it is politically correct to insult the King of Zhenbei. There is no need to be afraid of being accused, because the entire officialdom is scolding. Nowadays, anyone who does not scold the King of Zhenbei is a crazy beast. Anyone who scolds the King of Zhenbei is a man who has read the books of sages. A good scholar is a partner of justice.

"Did you know? The person who went to the north to investigate the case this time was Xu Yinluo. As expected of him, without him, King Zhenbei's crimes would still not be exposed until now!"

"The one who took action to kill the King of Zhenbei this time was Yongan Hou Xu Zisheng. I heard that on that day, the awe-inspiring righteousness filled the world and turned into thousands of swords, cutting the King of Zhenbei alive. I am really happy!"

"I heard that His Majesty is unwilling to convict King Zhenbei. He has not seen all the ministers. Now hundreds of officials are blocking the palace gate and scolding him."

"Yesterday Xin Kehui Yuan Xu New Year cursed at the gate of the palace for two full hours until dusk. He went there again today. It's really awesome!"

…

In the palace, the old eunuch stepped over the threshold with a splitting headache, his face turned pale with anger, and he complained.

"Your Majesty, that Xu New Year is yelling and cursing outside again. It's really hateful and can be killed."

Emperor Yuan Jing was sitting on a big chair, holding Taoist scriptures in his hand. He raised his head when he heard this, and said with a calm expression.

"Kill him, then the momentum will be unstoppable and the public will be outraged."

Emperor Yuan Jing withdrew his gaze, looked at the Taoist Scripture in his hand again, and asked casually.

"Xu Zisheng, Wang Wenzhen, and Wei Yuan, what could you do yesterday?"

The old eunuch knew Emperor Yuan Jing's temperament very well. The more careless he seemed on the surface, the more serious he was in his heart. He did not dare to be careless and cautiously raised his head to look at Emperor Yuan Jing and replied.

"The Marquis of Yong'an did not make any changes. He returned directly to his residence last night, but Wei Yuan went to see the Chief Assistant King privately!"

Emperor Yuan Jing nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, with a bit of disdain and a bit of fear, he changed the topic and asked.

"Is there anything unusual in the palace?"

The old eunuch lowered his head, breathed a sigh of relief, and answered again.

"The weather is calm and there are no other abnormalities. At this time, Princess Huaiqing left the palace and moved into the princess mansion!"

The old emperor squinted his eyes, frowned slightly, sighed, and said.

"No need to worry about it, she has been given a marriage, so I don't need to worry about it anymore!"

On the third day, the ministers still gathered at the palace gate, but those who are careful will find that although the number of people has not changed, some powerful ministers did not come today.

Xu Zisheng was not surprised by this. This was the purpose of Yuan Jingdi's delay. When the news of Huai Wang's massacre was reported back to the capital, no matter whether it was a traitor or a good minister, no matter whether it was indignant or for fame, all scholars would not have no reaction.

At this time, the public sentiment was agitated, and the wave was the most fierce. So Yuan Jingdi avoided the sharp edge and stayed in the palace. However, the first effort was weaker, and the third was exhausted. When the ministers calmed down, when someone achieved his goal of becoming famous, and when other voices appeared in the officialdom, it was the time for Yuan Jingdi to come forward. That was the time for the real struggle. This day will not be too far away. This palace guarantees that it will come within three days.

Xu Zisheng knew all about this. He didn't care at all. He just quietly waited for Yuan Jingdi to end. Anyway, he had nothing to do on weekdays, so he let Xu Xinnian scold for two more days. He felt comfortable and happy. He was now in a high position and needed to maintain his image, so it was not good to scold directly.
