Fang Xuanling was also standing at the head of the officials, listening to the discussion with a worried face.
He had just returned from Luoyang.
He had conducted a comprehensive investigation of the evil ghost killing people in Luoyang and the immortal descending to the world.
Then he was horrified to find that it was true.
It's true, all the rumors are true! "
It was not a rumor. Hundreds of people in the Xie family mansion, including the servants, private soldiers, and maids, had seen it with their own eyes. There were obvious traces of lightning strikes at the scene, and the shrill voice of the evil ghost could be easily heard in the surrounding mansions.
If it was that kind of evil ghost, it would be terrifying.
Fang Xuanling did not think that the Imperial Guards would be of any use. Even the top experts hidden in the palace would be of no use.
Evil ghosts could not be defeated by humans!
This was the conclusion Fang Xuanling got from his trip to Luoyang.
However, before he could enter the palace to report, he was summoned here.
He even heard rumors that evil ghosts appeared in the palace at night.
He could not help but worry.
Fortunately.
When the sun rose from the east, Li Shimin, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, walked out slowly with Empress Zhangsun.
Everyone bowed to the Emperor and Empress.
"Dear officials." Li Shimin's voice was very loud. "Today is an extremely important moment for the Tang Empire! I, together with all the officials, will respectfully welcome the Ninth Heaven Yingyuan Thunder God. "
When he said the last title, Li Shimin even raised his hand and bowed to the void.
His tone was full of respect.
In an instant.
There was an uncontrollable commotion in the entire court.
Nine Heavens Echoing Primordial Thunder Resounding Universal Deity?
It sounded like a Taoist title, but what did His Majesty just say? Respectfully welcome?
"Your Majesty!" An official could not help but step forward and raise his hand. "Your Majesty, which Taoist temple are you talking about?"
If it was a Taoist powerhouse who had a high status in the entire Taoist sect, it would be barely acceptable. Even so, there would be many censors who said that talking about the Emperor would damage the dignity of the Emperor.
In this court.
There were a lot of officials who were not afraid of angering the Emperor, but there were many.
Wei Zheng was the most typical example.
Among the many officials present, except for Li Chunfeng and others who already knew the reason, only Fang Xuanling's eyes twitched. He had a strange premonition.
Sure enough —
"Not really." Li Shimin denied the Imperial Censor's words, and his tone became even more respectful. "What I'm talking about is a true Heavenly Immortal Lord, in charge of the Divine Firmament Jade Clear Mansion, commanding lightning, and possessing boundless power."
Just this one sentence.
Fang Xuanling was sure that His Majesty must have come into contact with the immortal who had appeared in Luoyang!
It should be noted that a few days ago, when His Majesty first heard of the traces of immortals, he was still deeply worried about it.
But now, his attitude had changed drastically.
Only those who had seen an immortal with their own eyes and witnessed that unbelievably powerful divine ability could have such a change!
This sentence caused an uproar among the officials.
"Your Majesty! Don't believe such nonsense! " The imperial censor even knelt on the ground and shouted, "There have always been rumors of ghosts and gods, but who in the world has ever seen an immortal? Your Majesty, since ancient times, no emperor has ever succeeded in seeking the Dao of immortality!"
Look at how impassioned he was, how agitated he was!
It was as if the Li Shimin in front of him had already begun to indulge in cultivation and did not care about national affairs.
The other censors also knelt down.
All of them shouted:
"Your Majesty must have been deceived by the demonic path, please reconsider!"
"Most of the tricks of the folk are deceitful!"
"Your Majesty, there have been many rumors about immortals in recent days. There must be a demon behind this matter! Spreading rumors! "
"Your Majesty, can you let the Heavenly Venerables confront each other in the hall? I will definitely expose the scam!"
“.....”
However, other than the few people who spoke with grief and righteousness, as if they were willing to die for the sake of justice, many of the officials in the hall were actually waiting in silence.
Including Wei Zheng, who was supposed to speak.
Obviously.
They had either heard the rumors long ago, or they were also shocked by the rumors in Luoyang.
At this moment, someone finally couldn't help but try to drag Wei Zheng down.
"Lord Wei, why don't you persuade His Majesty?"
All of a sudden, many people also looked at Wei Zheng.
Even Li Shimin looked over with an ugly expression.
"Minister Wei, could it be that you want to say something too?"
This time, Wei Zheng could no longer maintain his silence.
However, Wei Zheng, who was always fearless in the past, actually showed hesitation at this time.
"Your Majesty." He raised his hand and said, "I have always been confused about ghosts and gods. However, this matter is too unbelievable, so I would like to ask Daoist Li if there is really an immortal in the world."
Wei Zheng kicked the ball to Li Chunfeng.
He had already noticed it.
Li Chunfeng's expression was very ugly when the censors spoke. He even clenched his fists tightly. If they weren't in the hall, he would have already started a fight. This also made him worried.
Everyone knew that Wei Zheng was fearless in the face of death, but he knew that as long as what he said was true, there would be no real danger.
However, this matter.
He couldn't see through it, so he didn't dare to say anything.
"Hmph." Li Chunfeng snorted. "Don't blame me for not reminding you. The Heavenly Venerables of the Nine Heavens are the supreme immortal who rules over the life and death of all things. You must respect them."
When he mentioned the title of the Heavenly Venerables, Li Chunfeng also cupped his hands and bowed. He didn't hide his admiration and fanaticism in his words.
A true immortal had descended.
For Daoists like them, it was no doubt that they had seen a true immortal opportunity! It proved that what they and countless ancestors wanted was not an illusion.
As the saying went, if one hears the Dao in the morning, one can die in the evening.
Only they could understand the meaning behind it.
And this sentence.
It made some of the kneeling censors tremble in anger.
"Ridiculous! This is ridiculous! "
But other than that, they couldn't say anything else.
When facing the emperor, they had just said that even if they were sent to prison, they would still be able to earn a good reputation and their families would also be treated well by their families.
But when facing the Daoists …
They didn't dare to say anything.
For a moment, the hall was filled with an eerie silence.
But then.
A rough and honest voice suddenly sounded.
"If you ask me, Old Cheng, this matter can't be any easier. Since he is an Immortal, he must be far stronger than us mortals. Why don't I, Old Cheng, fight this Immortal? If he can easily defeat me, then he is a True Immortal …"
"Don't be rude!" Li Shimin's expression changed. He quickly shouted, "You idiot, shut up!"
Although he was the emperor, he couldn't control the mouths of the imperial censors.
But this Cheng Yaojin also came to join in the fun and even said that he wanted to fight with an immortal.
Cheng Yaojin pouted.
His strength was also at the peak and there were few opponents in the world. How could he be easily convinced?
I'm not afraid of immortals.
