All of a sudden, Zhang Yuanren silenced everyone.
At the same time his head was split open, a crack appeared on the giant pillar.
Fresh blood flowed down the cracks.
Plop.
Zhang Yuanren fell to the ground, dying with everlasting regret.
The pair of eyes glared angrily at the sky.
…
The commoners became even noisier.
"Lord Zhang!"
"Lord Zhang!"
A row of dozens of royal guards in front of the commoners fell to their knees. They stabbed the halberds in their hands into the ground and looked at Zhang Yuanren in shock.
The civil and military officials all had shocked expressions on their faces.
Zhang Yuanren had indeed used his death to demonstrate his will!
"Father!"
Zhang Jingyuan screamed his lungs out.
Yu Zhenghai pressed his palm down and restrained him.
Even the four High Dukes did not expect that Zhang Yuanren would really die to show his sincerity. How were they going to appease the anger of the people?
Li Yunzheng grew nervous.
How could it be so easy to be the monarch of a nation?
Teacher had once said that he had all the weaknesses that an Emperor should not have … What should he do now? Should he walk down this path and start a massacre?
The situation was getting out of control, and public opinion was leaning towards one side.
Si Wuya waved his hand.
Wang Yun hurriedly took out a pile of documents and documents and respectfully handed them over with both hands.
Si Wuya used his Primal Qi and said loudly,
"In the 306th year of Zhenwu, Zhang Yuanren occupied three thousand acres of fertile land in Longyou, causing starvation to fill the land. This is the first evidence of his crime. Post it."
It was as if he had already prepared for this.
Someone at the back carried the board over and pasted the papers on it.
"In the 310th year of Zhenwu, an earthquake struck the Shu region of Jiannan. Zhang Yanchen, the second son of Zhang Yuanren, embezzled hundreds of thousands of catties of relief rations. Post it. "
"…"
"In the 320th year of the True Martial Era, Zhang Bo led an army of thirty thousand and was defeated by the northern army. In order to survive, they abandoned the border and fled south. As a result, an army of a hundred thousand soldiers crossed the Wei River and invaded Great Tang. Post it. "
…
Li Yunzheng was dumbfounded by Lu Zhou's actions.
When did they prepare all this?
Teacher... How did he do it?
Apart from Li Yunzheng, the civil and military officials were stunned as well.
Lu Zhou nodded in satisfaction.
If he were to deal with it, he could slap these people to death with a single slap. The others would naturally obey, but that would definitely cause him to lose the hearts of the people. They were secretly poking fun at him.
Si Wuya did not even have to lift a finger. He could kill someone and destroy their heart.
Li Yunzheng could not help but applaud. However, he was the emperor of a nation. He had to remain calm. It wasn't that the teacher couldn't outtalk Zhang Yuanren, but rather, he was intentionally provoking him, waiting for him to send himself to his death. If he died, then so be it. In the end, he would be convicted. In this way, Zhang Yuanren would become a suicide to escape punishment.
Wonderful!
As expected.
After that, Si Wuya said in a clear voice, "Zhang Yuanren knew that he had committed a grave sin and committed suicide to escape punishment."
The commoners looked at the pieces of paper pasted on the board. The crimes were listed out one by one.
"So this dog thief is this kind of person?" Someone in the crowd suddenly cursed.
"Is this kind of person worthy of our support? Too hateful, too despicable! I really want to pull out my Dragoncry Sword and kill him with my own hands! "Someone in the crowd cursed.
"How did you manage to bring a sword in?" A man asked in confusion.
"That's right … Why do I have a sword … They're trying to frame us! They want to borrow His Majesty's hand to silence us! This is too scary! "
The commoners took several steps back.
They fell to their knees and begged for mercy.
Si Wuya nodded.
He turned to look at Li Yunzheng and signaled him with his eyes.
Li Yunzheng stood up. He spread his arms and said, "You may rise. You're my people, my flesh and blood. If I attack you, it'll be akin to hanging myself. You may rise … "
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty, you're merciful!" someone in the crowd shouted.
The other commoners shouted as well.
Lu Zhou frowned slightly. 'Isn't this fellow a little too much?'
At this moment …
Someone flew into the Proclamation Hall.
The sky above the Proclamation Hall buzzed and lit up.
Si Wuya said, "The civil and military officials are not to retreat. Protect the commoners!"
'Protect, my foot!'
When someone flew into the hall, the civil and military officials ran faster than anyone else toward the back of the royal guards.
"These f * ckers … As expected, they're all up to no good! His Majesty loves the people like his own children! "
The commoners ran toward the stairs.
The situation was clear.
Li Yunzheng looked at Si Wuya and said, "Thank you, teacher."
Si Wuya nodded with a smile on his face.
Initially, Li Yunzheng thought the assassin would stop in front of Si Wuya and cooperate with his capture. With that, the matter would be settled. However, to his surprise, the black figure shot past Si Wuya and headed straight for Li Yunzheng's face.
"Die, dog emperor!"
Zing!
The assassin was sent flying!
An energy sword shot out from his hand. Black runes swirled around the energy sword.
Si Wuya frowned.
Even a wise man would make a mistake. He had a feeling something would go wrong. That was why he had asked his master to take charge of the situation.
It was just as he had expected.
This scene had finally appeared.
…
Li Yunzheng's eyes widened. His heart leaped to his throat.
Just when the energy sword was about to reach Li Yunzheng's forehead, Lu Zhou's wizened figure appeared in front of Li Yunzheng.
Unhurriedly, he raised his right hand slightly.
Then, he gently clamped his index and middle fingers together.
Smack!
He caught the black energy sword between his fingers.
A faint blue light shone from between his fingers.
With just a hint of the Profound Cosmos Power, he could easily control the black energy sword.
In truth, with Qian Jie's strength, he could easily deal with the assassin without using the Profound Cosmos Power. However, how could he let go of such a good opportunity to test his Profound Cosmos Power?
Everything seemed to have frozen.
All around the steps, be it the imperial court experts or the royal guards, they all felt the dangerous aura of the assassin.
The assassin glared at Lu Zhou and said in a deep voice, "Move."
He tried to twist the energy sword and use the black runes to force the old man away.
However …
Lu Zhou's fingers did not move at all. He said indifferently, "A mere Nine-leaf cultivator dares to act so presumptuously?!"
He moved his fingers slightly.
Bam!
The energy sword that was covered in black runes was broken by Lu Zhou.
The instant the energy sword was broken, Lu Zhou struck with his palm.
This time, he did not use the Profound Cosmos Power.
A Great Vajra Wheel Buddhist Hand Seal instantly struck the assassin's chest.
Bam!
The assassin felt his internal organs shatter from the tremendous force. His bones shattered.
Lu Zhou drew two fingers.
The top of the stairs was densely packed with energy swords.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Swoosh! They swept past the assassin's clothes and body.
He fell to the ground with a thud.
"Zhang Yong?" Wang Yun recognized the assassin with just a glance.
A quick-witted young man with a sword in his hand cried out, "What an eye-opener today … I've learned that one can be so thick-skinned."
"Is it really Zhang Yong? Zhang Yong wants to assassinate the emperor?! "
At this point, the commoners would be fools if they still did not understand what was going on.
Li Yunzheng remembered Si Wuya's words. The greatest taboo for an emperor was indecisiveness. Hence, he shouted, "Relay my order. Capture the Zhang Family."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
High Duke Lu walked down the stairs. He pointed at the royal guards nearby and said, "What are you waiting for? Come with me. "
The royal guards did not move.
This was within Si Wuya's expectations as well.
Lu Zhou's ears twitched slightly.
The Supreme Mystic Power lingered in his ears and instantly enveloped the entire Proclamation Hall.
Several miles to the east of the Proclamation Hall, in front of the Heaven Pole Palace's corridor at the entrance of the Imperial city, a man sat on a chair and ate some fruits as he said in a leisurely manner, "I didn't expect the young emperor to be so capable. Forget it … I've lost today's game of chess. We'll play another day … "
"Lord Xiahou, what about the royal guards?"
"Leave some of them for the young emperor to order around. The royal guards are my men, after all. He has Qianjie's support. It's not wise for him to fight them head-on. However, I didn't expect them to hold back. Let's go. "
Whizz!
They rose to their feet and were about to leave.
In the air above the Proclamation Hall.
A 400-foot golden Thousand Realms Whirling avatar towered in the air.
It was a huge astrolabe unique to Qianjie. Everyone present found it hard to breathe.
The thousands of commoners, the royal guards, the officials, and the members of the Zhang Family looked at the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar in the air.
"That's …"
"Q-Thousand Realms Whirling?!"
"Did Yu Chenshu really die in the hands of the Thousand Realms Whirling?!" “
Lu Zhou's sudden leap into the air puzzled them.
He had already won the game of chess. Why did he summon the Thousand Realms Whirling?
The atmosphere was tense and stifling.
The atmosphere was so heavy that it was difficult to breathe.
The air before the Proclamation Hall was illuminated by the light of the lotus.
Among the crowd, Jiang Aijian said again, "Senior Lu, you're showing your divinity!"
Si Wuya rolled his eyes and said loudly, "Don't worry. If he wanted to kill you, he would've done it a long time ago … There's no need to wait until now."
'That's right. If he wanted to kill you, he would've done it a long time ago.'
Clearly, Si Wuya was trying to reason with him.
This was his magnanimity!
"There's an assassin. I'll be right back!" Lu Zhou's voice rang in the air.
The others felt relieved. As expected, Si Wuya was not targeting the commoners!
The commoners were not cultivators. They did not care if it was golden or red. They prostrated themselves on the ground.
"Ding! Obtained 3,680 devout worship points. Reward: 3,680 merit points."
Li Yunzheng said, "Don't worry, everyone. I won't point my blade at the innocent."
A buzzing sound rang in the air.
In the next second, the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar appeared in front of the Taiji Palace. It looked down at the dumbfounded Xiahou Sheng.
Lu Zhou said indifferently, "Xiahou Sheng."
"You … you … you … How did you know … I'm here?"
The most dangerous place was the safest place. Xiahou Sheng had been hiding in the Taiji Palace all this while.
"Why aren't you going to surrender?!"
