Chapter 472: Magic in Magic
"How does the law of orders stipulate, and how many drums and beats are not allowed to give orders in Kyoto?" asked Xuanyuan Jingzong slowly.
"Eight, eight drums and eight sounds......" The low voice of the hills and mountains is almost inaudible. After being stunned for a moment, Lu Qiu Shanye suddenly raised his head and said: "Even if she has the right to give orders in Kyoto, she can kill the minister without authorization, and the crime is unforgivable!
"Duke Tianzhu, how did Grand Duke Tianji kill Earl Luqiu and Viscount Nanrong without authorization?" asked Xuanyuan Jingzong unhurriedly.
"She, she abused her power and killed the minister at will!" Lu Qiu Shanye argued strongly.
"How did she abuse her power?" asked Xuanyuan Jingzong.
"Earl Luqiu encountered an accident on the road with Viscount Nanrong, and she made a mistake, so she didn't ask for a reason, so she went on a killing spree. Luqiu and the mountains muttered weakly.
"Tianzhu Gong, Gongtianhou, and all the ministers, the Grand Duke ordered troops, and killed those who mistakenly killed, did they violate the laws and regulations?" Xuanyuan Jingzong asked quietly.
"There is no violation. About half of the ministers replied loudly. The rest of them were weak and sparse, and they answered the king's question.
"Tianzhu Gong, Gong Tianhou, do you have a personal vendetta with the two of you?" Xuanyuan Jingzong asked.
"No, no, noγγγγγγ" Luqiu Shanye and Nanrong Xia Lei hurriedly denied.
If you don't open the way, the eighth sister of Tianji was beaten on the front foot, and the eldest duke of Tianji, Yu Bingxue, gave the order on the back foot, and killed the Earl of Luqiu and Viscount Nanrong according to the law. Shocked the government and the opposition. Clear-eyed people know that Gongyu Bingxue is knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, killing the chicken to show the monkey. And he was ruthless, and in one fell swoop, he killed the two best second-generation disciples of the Luqiu family and the Nanrong family. But no one dared to say publicly that she was a personal vendetta. Because, Earl Luqiu and Viscount Nanrong did make a mistake, and they should be beheaded according to the law.
"Since the Grand Duke of Tianji has not violated the law, and there is no personal enmity between you, what kind of complaint did you two sue?" Xuanyuan Jingzong's face sank, and his face sank like water.
"γγγγγγ" Luqiu and Shanye and Nanrong Xia Lei opened their mouths and were shocked.
If Xuanyuan Jingzong was angry about this, he used the topic to play and slaughtered Luqiu and Nanrong Xia Lei, it would be normal. Well-informed people know that His Majesty personally went out to get out of the horse, but he was stopped by the guards of the Tianquan Mansion, how could there be no Jiedi in his heart? Isn't it just right to kill the two of them out of the stuffiness in his chest?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the old minister has something to sayγγγγγγ "Several ministers who were in harmony with the Luqiu family and the Nanrong family hurriedly stepped forward.
Xuanyuan Jingzong counted on Luqiu Shanye to compete with Nanrong Xia Lei against the Zhang family, how could he be willing to kill them at will. When he saw someone coming out, he got off the donkey: "What do the ministers have to say? β
Tianyou father-in-law Zu Deyang, took a step forward, and said: "Your Majesty, Tianzhu Gongtong Gongtianhou lost his beloved son, shocked and grieved, it is inevitable that he is a little delirious, and his speech and behavior are a little abnormal, which is also human nature. I also hope that Your Majesty will give a lighter punishment. β
"The old minister seconded the proposal and asked His Majesty to punish Tianzhu Gong and Gong Tianhou lightly. Tianwei Gong Chu Master Qingming stepped forward and said.
The ministers seconded. Many ministers said in unison.
"Since all the ministers have unanimously interceded, I will be relieved. The Tianzhu Gong and the Gongtianhou were each fined for half a year. Go home and restrain your children with your heart, if you provoke right and wrong again, you will definitely be dealt with severely!" Xuanyuan Jingzong shouted.
"Thanksgiving!" Luqiu Shanye and Nanrong Xia Lei retreated in a gloomy manner, hating the Heavenly Family more and more in their hearts.
"Ladies and gentlemen, how are you preparing for the World Martial Arts Competition?" Xuanyuan Jingzong looked at the courtiers.
Between the countries of the Tiangang Continent, in addition to the war for land and certain rights and interests, there is also a battle, that is, a competition. The benefits gained by the contest are no less than those of war. In a sense, even beyond war.
There are three major sects in the Tiangang Continent, namely the Nine Demon Abyss, the Divine Beast Palace, and the Nine Heavens Palace. They are all sects that transcend the state. The three major sects have their own strengths, the magic of the Nine Demon Abyss, the first in the world, the divine beast of the Divine Beast Palace, the unparalleled in the world, the Gangqi of the Nine Heavens Palace, and the only one in the Tiangang Continent. Any one of these three sects can easily destroy a country.
If the countries of the Tiangang Continent want to be invincible, they have to rely on these three major sects. In general, the three major sects do not directly intervene in the affairs of various countries, and they are not interested in mundane affairs. Most of the concerns are about the attainment of the Tao and the ascension to heaven. The three major sects are just to select some outstanding children from each country every three years to serve as the reserve force in the sect.
For this reason, the number of disciples in the three major sects has also become a symbol of the country's national strength.
As a result, the competition for the number of disciples sent to the three major sects has become the top priority of each country every three years.
Thousands of years ago, countries were free to send disciples to the three major sects. Battles are inevitable, and assassinations, volleys, etc. are endless. The outstanding children of various countries have suffered countless casualties. Later, the three major sects came forward and proposed to let each country export their children through a contest. The triennial competition of all nations was thus formed. The venue is rotated between countries. This year it was the kingdom of heaven's turn to host.
"Back to Your Majesty, the construction of the pavilion has been completed. The Minister of Industry stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, the personnel in charge of reception in the Ministry of Rites have already stopped training. Infallible. The Minister of Rites replied.
"Your Majesty, all the contestants from the remote areas of the country have arrived in the capital. Please give me the start date. The Minister of War said.
"This is a big deal, sooner rather than later. Order the Minister of Heaven to join the Great Magician to choose a good day and an auspicious day, and start the competition on the same day!"
Wooγγγγγγ low, thrilling horn sound suddenly pierced the sky.
Boom, boomγγγγγγ a string of muffled thunder sounded in the sky.
Click, click, clickγγγγγγ gray-white lightning rang out, as if the gates of hell were open and demons were dancing!
Suddenly, the sky was clear and dark. In the darkness, two cold lights pierced people's eyes.
Xin Ran suddenly felt a light in his eyes, and the cold light flashed. He felt that he had escaped from the demon, but he did not return to his original state, as if he had come to a new realm. It was as if he had become a different person, and he saw before his eyes:
A big head, shaved and shiny. A ghost-headed knife with a dazzling cold light hung diagonally above this skull.
This day should be the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the Xuanyuan calendar, which should have been a day of great reunion.
But oh my God, his face suddenly changed. It was gloomy like an inverted iron pot, pressing on the top of people's heads. It's breathless.
Boom, another series of muffled thunders. Exploded the gate of heaven and threw snowflakes into the sky.
What is frightening is that the snowflakes in the sky are not white, but blood-red.
Snowflakes like blood flowers condense into snow beans in mid-air. Hit in the face, make people grin and tremble.
In August, it actually snowed beans. And it's still blood-red snow beans, what does this meanγγγγγγ
