"Where did you come from?" Wukong turned his head and politely asked the King of Qin, as well as the scholar-officials in the hall, "The King of Qin is above, and everyone is present. I wonder if this person is appointed by the King of Qin to govern?"
The King of Qin hesitated for a while and shook his head, "No?"
"Then is the Prime Minister of Qin sitting with you?" The Monkey King took a step forward and continued to interrogate.
At this point, the officials in the palace were whispering to each other. The King of Qin's face turned ugly and said reluctantly, "No."
The Monkey King took another step forward and smiled, "So you are a scholar from a noble family who has yet to become an official …" At this point, a scholar who had a grudge with Di Fangshi said, "This person is only a shaman necromancer. How can he be considered a civil servant of Qin?" The King of Qin's face turned even uglier. Di Fangshi was also in a sorry state. He cupped his fists and said to the King, "Your Majesty, this macaque is only a beast with fur and horns. How can he question the King in court? Just chase him out!"
The Monkey King shouted, "Since he is only a necromancer, shaman, and god, how can he have the face to question the King of Qin's court? What authority did he have to command the guards? Could it be that everyone in Qin is looking at such a disrespectful person who is trying to usurp Duke Qin's authority? "
With a shout, he forced Di Fangshi into a dilemma. He even used his words to question the King of Qin's famous artifact.
The Monkey King did not wait for Di Fangshi to refute and asked coldly, "I heard that the King of Qin can only bestow his artifact to others! Zheng Zhuanggong used his famous weapon to bestow it to Zizhong, causing the officials to be abolished. Lu Zhaogong, because his famous weapon fell into the hands of the Three Hengs, was actually banished because of cockfighting. The famous weapons of the nobles were bestowed by the Emperor, and they were established according to the rules of etiquette and music. Today, I see that the etiquette of Qin is broken, and the emperor's famous weapon is actually in the hands of a mere necromancer. I asked the King in court, but he did not answer. The other officials avoided him. Only the necromancer scolded and called for the guards. I wonder if it is the Duke of Qin who nurtures the necromancer or the necromancer who nurtures the necromancer? "
"From this, it can be seen that Lu Zhaogong's lesson is not far away!"
Hearing this, Qin Gong's face turned ashen. On one hand, he was dissatisfied with Di Fangshi and was even afraid of him. On the other hand, he was furious at the Monkey King's words. He didn't want to lose face. If others knew that he punished his trusted aide because of a monkey's nonsense, he wouldn't have any face left. At this time, in Qin's imperial court, a macaque dragging a crown that was one size too big appeared. He shouted a question in the court, but no one dared to answer him.
The scene was extremely awkward.
Di Fangshi's face turned purple — this monkey was trying to force him to his death!
The officials in Qin's imperial court didn't want to say anything. The system of etiquette was the embodiment of the concept of hierarchy. The ideology of the officials was politically correct. No matter how stupid an official was, he couldn't go against etiquette. Moreover, Di Fangshi was just a shaman. He was trusted by the Empress Dowager and had already attracted many people's attention. Only a fool would help him.
However, no matter how out of place Tefangshi was, he still had political allies. It was just that they were unwilling to stand up for him. Someone secretly informed the outside, and an inner attendant slipped out of the main hall and went out through the side door.
Seeing that the entire court was silent, the Monkey King shouted, "Why don't you kill the necromancer to show the world? Kill Miao Chou to prove his artifact? "
Hearing this, Di Fangshi couldn't stay silent anymore. If he let this monkey continue, he would be killed! He gritted his teeth and pointed at the Monkey King. He said with a trembling voice, "Etiquette kills people … etiquette kills people. You … You're trying to kill me! King, don't listen to his provocation! "
"Shut up!" A loud shout came from the back of the hall. An old woman dressed in luxurious clothes came out from the back of the hall and said, "Who dares to kill my beloved servant?"
Di Fangshi went up to her as if he had seen his own mother. He sobbed and said, "Empress Dowager, you are finally here! Empress Dowager … "He went up to the old woman and held her hand. He stared at the Monkey King fiercely.
The old woman had a bearing, but Wukong had a pair of magical eyes that could see even the slightest detail, and his quantum primordial spirit could calculate everything. He observed that Queen Mother Wang's Qi was already old and decrepit, but it was still mixed with Primordial Yang, extremely heterogeneous. It seemed that she had also practiced a bit of Plucking Qi, absorbing the Qi of a strong man to slow down the aging of her face. Seeing that she trusted Di Fangshi so much, it was obvious where this Plucking Qi came from.
The scariest thing was that the Monkey King had already sensed that Di Fangshi and the Empress Dowager's Qi were mixed together. They were definitely trained in the Art of Plucking Qi.
At the thought of this, even though the Wukong Stone Monkey's nature wasn't restricted by etiquette, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes. Before he went to the court, he controlled his emotions and learned 100% of what Kong Qiu had taught him. Only now did he reveal some of his true nature. He said with hatred, "My monkey eyes must be blind. How can there be such a filthy person?"
"Your Majesty, how can you kill a nation's servant just because of the nonsense of a monkey?" The Empress Dowager ignored the Monkey King and said to the King of Qin, "A macaque is just a beast that is good at mimicking human speech! I don't know who taught it to speak such nonsense. How can you take it seriously? Admonishing the officials is a good thing, but admonishing a monkey? What kind of words is that? "
"In my opinion, there is no need to bother with it. Just lock it in the Beast Garden and treat it as a joke! "
The Empress Dowager's cultivation was much higher than a political noob like Di Fangshi. She didn't talk to Goku and directly used her identity to nail the matter there. This kind of political method of 'I don't reason with you and directly use my status to deal with you' was quite a hooligan. No matter how unparalleled Goku's eloquence and righteousness were, it was all useless.
The Monkey King was so angry that his body was trembling. He wanted to beat these disgusting nobles to death with a stick.
The reason why Chen Ang allowed the Monkey King to go up was not to argue with these ants. It was to train the Monkey King so that when he ascended to the Heavenly Palace in the future, he would be able to achieve great results. When it came to the political arena, it wouldn't be any more reasonable than this. The high-ranking immortals in the Heavens and the mortals on Earth all did the same thing. They would practice first before anything else.
Therefore, he transmitted his voice to the Monkey King, telling him not to act rashly and kill all the nobles in the Qin Kingdom.
"Monkey King, stop. The Grand Lord descended to the mortal world to train and didn't show his abilities. If you continue to play around like this, I will lose face in front of Daoist Tai Qing! After we cross the 800 miles of Qin River, you can come back on the cloud and kill all of them! I have already chosen a demon nearby. When the time comes, I will push the blame to that demon. The Heavenly Palace Heavenly General is someone who knows about this and will definitely not expose you. Even if there are one or two ignorant ones, I will still be able to protect you. Just say that I accidentally lost my attendant boy while discussing Dao with Daoist Tai Qing. The Great Heavenly Venerable Jade Emperor will not offend me. "
The Monkey King suppressed his murderous intent and squeezed out the words from the gaps of his teeth, "Why is the Empress Dowager teaching me this? Although I look like a monkey, I follow the teachings of Confucius and learn Daoism from Laozi. My brain is filled with knowledge from my teacher. I have 8,000 ancient books in my chest and I know everything that happened 5,000 years ago. I will only be a boy by my teacher's side. "
"Then I'll return the greeting. Doctor Zhou, Yi Xi, is here."
"It's you, Qin's people, who put on a ceremonial robe before me. Then, you took a bath and changed your clothes. You respected the rules and behaved according to the rules. Now, you see me as an envoy, and you see me as a beast. Are you trying to humiliate me on purpose? Or was she intentionally pranking me and treating me like a clown? I am leading the oxen in front, and the one behind the carriage is the Virtuous Old Man, Doctor Chen Ang. Doctor Zhou is driving the carriage, and Hangu Ling is driving the oxen. "
"How dare you bully me?" Monkey King slammed the table and scolded.
"I, Mu Hou, am a righteous person dressed like a monkey. How can I compare to a beast dressed like a beast? You are worse than a beast!"
Queen Mother Wang had never heard such insults directed at her eyebrows. She was so angry that her breathing became uneven. She pointed at Monkey King and said, "What … What did you say?"
"Shut up! Shameless old thief, how dare you talk nonsense here! As the Queen Mother, you are not pure and innocent. You keep men in captivity. You mess up the harem. You don't know etiquette. You talk nonsense about court politics. You have lived in vain for seventy years. You have never served the people of the country. You only know how to wag your tongue! You are a pious shaman! A dog with a broken back dares to bark madly in my court. I have never seen such a shameless person! "
"You … Guards!" Queen Mother Wang was so angry that she fell to the ground. The King of Qin was so shocked that he stood up. The guards around him were in chaos.
Monkey King did not shut up. Instead, he kicked away the two servants who came to grab him. He jumped on the table in front of the King of Qin. He pointed at the people in the court and asked, "I am asking you. I have studied for a few days and can read a few words. "He then grabbed Tieshi's collar and asked," Tell me, what books have you studied? Do you know Zhou Jinwen, Shang Jiagu and Xia Buci? "
Di Fangshi was nothing more than a shaman puppet who knew how to communicate with spirits and conquer gods. All the spells he knew had to be operated for a while before he could be used. Being grabbed by Wukong's martial arts skill, he immediately felt a strong force lifting him up. He panicked and cried out, "I learned spells from my master, I've never read any books."
Monkey King casually threw him to the ground and scolded, "Then you still dare to say that I am an ignorant beast?"
He then grabbed a scholar and went to the Queen Mother Wang who fell to the ground. He pushed away the guards and his hairy face scared the Queen Mother Wang so much that she screamed. Monkey King bared his teeth and shouted, "Don't scream. Let me ask you, what books have you read? What knowledge have you learned?"
The scholar's thighs were trembling and his crotch was dripping yellow liquid. He mumbled, "I have only read some history books."
Wukong grabbed a few people in succession, and some of them were even talented ministers. He questioned them one by one, and all of them were the same. The most knowledgeable scholar-official had only read the history books of the four countries and studied the official documents of their own countries. If he were to calculate, he would only be able to recognize a little over two thousand words and read a book of ten thousand words. Monkey King casually threw these people to the ground and slapped the guards in front of him. He laughed wildly, "I was wondering what kind of knowledge you have. You think you are extraordinary and look down on me for being a beast. Turns out you only know a few words!"
"I, Old Sun, came from the East Sea's Ao Lai Country. I've traveled thousands of miles and traveled to dozens of countries. I've seen people from two large continents. I've learned about ten different kinds of slang. I know about eight or nine languages from different countries. Later, I was fortunate enough to become Master's disciple. I listened to Kong Qiu's lectures and Laozi's sermons. I learned from Zi Lu that Kong Qiu had compiled eight hundred poems from different countries and official documents from various countries, from Xia, Shang, and Zhou to the collection of official documents from the vassal states. There were fifty to sixty pieces of 'Shangshu'. I learned the 'Book of Rites', 'Book of Music', 'Wen Wang Yi', and Kong Qiu's annotations. Later, Master taught me the 'Lianshan Yi', 'Guizang Yi', and the history books of various countries, even the ancient Three Graves and Five Classics, Eight Suos and Nine Hills. There is also the ancient Book of Mountains and Seas that Master mentioned. Bronze and gold inscriptions, divination, bones, and knots. There is nothing that I don't know. There are also all kinds of celestial knowledge. "
"Even the knowledge of you mortals, I've studied 980 million words, and I know 89 types of characters."
