The night passed.
The next morning, Lu Zhou did not leave the Life Nourishment Hall. Instead, he cultivated inside the hall.
He could sense that even after reaching the Mysterious Heaven Realm, he still needed to cultivate continuously to increase his cultivation base. This way, he would be able to bear less pressure when activating his Life Providence.
Unfortunately, the world knew very little about Xuantian.
Lu Zhou had no choice but to cross the river by groping for the stones.
From his current understanding of the black lotus, it should have 36 Life Providences and a more complete information and cultivation system.
Last time, he had destroyed one of Yi Yao's fates. If Yi Yao went back to complain and invited the Thousand Realms Whirling Dance who had a higher cultivation base, wouldn't he be in big trouble?
Fortunately, he had the enhanced version of Critical Strike. Hopefully, it wouldn't be a character that was too ruthless. If there really was a powerhouse with 36 Life Providences, then he would be at the mercy of others.
In the afternoon.
Lu Zhou did not leave the Hall of Cultivation.
At this moment, Mingshi Yin appeared in the Hall of Cultivation. "Master, something's wrong."
Lu Zhou opened his eyes and asked, "What is it?"
"The young emperor, Li Yunzheng, had issued an imperial decree to summon the civil and military officials tomorrow. However, the civil and military officials had already arrived at the palace. Seventh Junior Brother went to the Proclamation Hall with the young emperor, "Mingshi Yin said.
"Your Seventh Junior Brother should be able to handle this," Lu Zhou said.
"I think so too, but there's something unusual about this …" Mingshi Yin continued to say, "I went out for a stroll this morning. There were thousands of civilians gathered in front of the Imperial city. Also, Xia Housheng is clearly not in the capital, but he mobilized 100,000 imperial guards. "
"Oh?" Lu Zhou frowned slightly.
"I'm not questioning Seventh Junior Brother's ability. Xiahou Sheng was one of the Eight Great Generals. Since he was able to stand up to Yu Chenshu, it was only natural that he was quite capable. If a fight breaks out, I'll need you to hold the fort, master, "Mingshi Yin said.
"A bunch of scoundrels dare to show up?"
Lu Zhou was no longer the same as before.
If Xiahou Sheng was still at the Ten-leaf stage, he might have taken Xiahou Sheng more seriously.
"However, what you said makes sense. Come with me, "Lu Zhou said.
"Your disciple understands."
The two of them left the Hall of Healing.
He had just arrived at the entrance of the Nourishing Life Hall.
They saw Jiang Aijian running back with Dragonsong in his arms.
"Hey, little b * tch, where are you going? Come with us to the Proclamation Hall." Mingshi Yin stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Aijian.
Jiang Aijian smiled awkwardly and said, "Don't, Mister Fourth. There are too many people. I'm afraid they'll miss my handsome appearance. "
Lu Zhou looked at Jiang Aijian and said, "Let's go together."
"…"
Mingshi Yin stepped forward and put his arm around Duan Ling Tian's shoulder. He said with a smile, "You're too much of a coward. Don't be afraid. I'll have my dog protect you."
"???"
…
They had not arrived at the Proclamation Hall.
The plaza was filled with people. Many of the palace's experts were floating low in the air, forming a human wall.
In the square below the main hall, thousands of commoners stood in neat rows.
Lu Zhou looked at him in confusion.
Could commoners enter the palace? It was obvious that someone had deliberately planned this.
He walked towards the Hall of Proclamation.
"Senior Lu!" Wang Yun moved swiftly and appeared before Lu Zhou. "I was just about to invite you over."
"Where's Li Yunzheng?" Lu Zhou asked.
"His Majesty and Mister Seventh are both in front of the palace. This way, please … "
Lu Zhou, Mingshi Yin, and Jiang Aijian followed Wang Yun to Proclamation City Hall. They discovered everyone was in front of the Hall of Proclamation. They did not enter the great hall. The dragon throne was on the steps in front of the hall. There was a chair on each side of the throne.
He did not expect so many people to come.
He had thought it would only be the civil and military officials and the Eight Great Generals.
Lu Zhou walked over.
The members of the Evil Sky Pavilion were about to bow when Lu Zhou waved his hand, gesturing for them to continue.
Li Yunzheng, dressed in his dragon robes, sat on the dragon throne as he looked down at the plaza.
In the middle of the steps, a calm expression could be seen on Si Wuya's face as he stood with his back straight.
Lu Zhou nodded.
'As expected of my disciple. His boldness and insight aren't something Old Eighth can emulate.'
He continued walking through the corridor and arrived at the front of the hall.
There were many eunuchs and palace maids by Li Yunzheng's side.
However, Li Yunzheng's eyes were sharp. He saw Lu Zhou walking toward him. He wanted to stand up immediately, but Lu Zhou raised his hand to gesture for him to stay put.
Li Yunzheng remained seated on the dragon throne.
Lu Zhou did not stand on ceremony. He walked to the chair on the left. The Grand Tutor, Guo Zhengping, sat on the chair.
The Grand Tutor, Guo Zhengping, did not notice an old man approaching him unimpeded. He looked up and was about to reprimand Lu Zhou when Lu Zhou waved his hand. Guo Zhengping's body rose to his feet involuntarily.
The two dukes on Li Yunzheng's right looked at Guo Zhengping at the same time.
Realization dawned on Guo Zhengping. He hastily took a step back and stood respectfully at the side.
Lu Zhou sat down slowly.
He did not want to interrupt the proceedings. He was only here to watch the show. In Mingshi Yin's words, he was here to keep watch and prevent any accidents. He did not care about anything else.
Even so …
Lu Zhou's actions caught the attention of the civil and military officials at the bottom of the steps, the thousands of civilians on the plaza, and the imperial palace elites in the air.
For a time, the discussions stopped.
They looked at the old man who suddenly sat on the young emperor's left.
Si Wuya turned to look. Sure enough, it was his master. He smiled and was about to bow when Lu Zhou waved his sleeve and said, "Continue."
"Continue."
"Understood."
Si Wuya turned around and looked at the old man dressed in sackcloth who stood in front of the civil and military officials.
"Lord Zhang, please continue." “
The Grand Tutor, Guo Zhengping, took another step back.
Wang Yun walked up to Lu Zhou. He lowered his body and whispered into Lu Zhou's ear, "Zhang Yuanren retired and spent the rest of his life at home. However, the Zhang Family produced five heroes who were conferred the title of Guardian General by the late emperor. They're well-respected by the people. "
Lu Zhou turned to look at Wang Yun and said, "You're not bad."
"Thank you for the compliment, Senior Lu … But my son …" Wang Yun stammered.
"I can overlook it, but remember where you stand," Lu Zhou said.
"Don't worry, Senior Lu. The Wang Family supports His Majesty! What do you say, Lord Guo? "Wang Yun turned to look at Guo Zhengping.
"Yes, yes, yes …"
There were five dukes in Great Tang. Apart from the deceased Duke Fu, each of them represented a faction. Each of them represented a faction, and they were the five most powerful families in the capital. Although Guo Zhengping was the Crown Prince's Grand Tutor, it was only an empty title. He could not be compared to the five dukes.
Wang Yun straightened his back and pulled Guo Zhengping away. He frowned and said, "Lord Guo, are you trying to get me killed?"
"It's all my fault …" Guo Zhengping felt a lingering fear in his heart. "Is this old mister the almighty being of the Thousand Domains?"
"Of course," Wang Yun said.
Guo Zhengping's hair stood on end. His scalp went numb as though he had been electrocuted. His eyes widened.
"I told you that the seat is empty," Wang Yun said sternly, "Now, all you have to do is watch. Don't point fingers."
"I'll listen to you, Brother Wang." Guo Zhengping wiped the cold sweat off his face.
"It's not just you … I've spoken to the other three dukes yesterday. As for the others, I'll leave them to fate, "Wang Yun said.
Guo Zhengping frowned slightly. He looked at the officials in the plaza and said, "I'm impressed."
…
Meanwhile.
Everyone was looking at Zhang Yuanren who was dressed in mourning clothes.
He looked at Zhang Yuanren calmly.
Zhang Yuanren knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty … please reconsider! My Zhang Family is full of heroes who will go through fire and water for Great Tang. "
Si Wuya said.
"Lord Zhang, I can understand your pleading on behalf of the Zhang Clan. You plead for mercy for the eight generals, how do you explain that? "
"The eight generals are brothers with the Zhang family … How can I watch them go to jail unjustly?" Zhang Yuanren said, "Your Majesty, please reconsider."
Behind him, thousands of commoners knelt down and cheered.
"Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
Indeed, Si Wuya was surprised by this plan.
It was obvious that the resistance in the capital had long been prepared. He entered the palace in the afternoon because he wanted to catch them off guard.
At the same time, he incited the people.
Presently, there were rumors in Jingdou that the young Emperor wanted to make a move on the heroes and the civil and military officials.
Especially when the heroic Zhang Yuanren took the lead, the public opinion was almost one-sided.
Si Wuya knew this person was not afraid of death. He said in a deep voice, "Lord Zhang … You're forcing me to abdicate."
