Balian's words made everyone shocked and moved.
Who would have thought that King Yin, who always seemed the most ambitious, would have such a righteous spirit of sacrificing himself for the Zhongyou royal family.
Qiao Yu's thoughts changed several times, and his gaze towards Shen Tu became more complicated.
But in the end, he didn't say much more about Bai Lian's decision.
Shen Tu knelt straight and held the board again.
Since it was not a reward, he did not thank him, but his eyes, at some point, changed from deep and dark to radiant, as if they had been washed by water.
As for the young Lord Manfu of Baishan City, he was the first boy to stand up and raise objections when Ying Xiu was stepping up the stairs, and thus almost lost his life.
Was awarded the "Xu" seal.
Even after receiving the seal, he was still unable to regain consciousness for a long time, as if he was in a dream.
There was another sigh of relief, how could such a little heroic spirit, who was only over two hundred years old, be worthy of Xu Yin?
Although everyone in the court hall was moved and moved, but with the experience of Shentu Palace, no one raised any doubts.
They suppressed their temper and waited for what Balian would say next.
Although no one spoke, Balian could still feel the dissatisfaction and suspicion hidden in the silent atmosphere.
He nodded slightly and said calmly: "Three days ago, Ying Xiu led the crowd to force him into the Imperial Palace. Although you all felt sad in your hearts, you were still defeated by his red mouth and white teeth. I know very well that there is no other reason. Everyone. It's just that I think what Ying Xiu said makes sense.
My mother is crazy and has no intention of taking charge of political affairs, and she is even more powerless against Zhongyou. Therefore, you are worried that Zhongyou will inevitably sink gradually as the sun sets on the Western Mountains.
Since then, Zhongyou has declined, and other sects outside the sect can step on any promising cats or dogs.
You are all arrogant and arrogant, so you cannot stand this anger.
Since the monarch is powerless, of course he must be the one with the ability. How can you not be moved by a genius prince who possesses both the talent for trickery and the spiritual roots of the Six Paths?
Furthermore, compared to the Empress Houtu who has the power of life and death at the drop of a thought, it is easier for a young prince like Ying Xiu to become the emperor, which is more controllable, right? "
As soon as these words came out, a large area of people knelt down in front of the palace.
"What the prince said made the ministers and others panic..."
"But I think what Ying Xiu said is quite right." Balian's deep and dark eyes flickered in the shadow of the lamp.
Word by word, he spoke calmly and heart-stoppingly: "In the land of Zhongyouhou, the one who sits on this throne has never needed you, but you need someone to sit on this position."
Bailian stood up slowly, and the wind outside the hall suddenly roared, roaring into the hall, and the bright lights were like three thousand souls floating around.
"Perhaps you have lived a peaceful life for too long, and you have forgotten who promised you this arrogance and arrogance. If you can't even straighten your identity, I don't think you have any need to continue to stand. It’s here.”
Among the crowd of people kneeling in front of the hall, after hearing this, someone immediately raised his eyebrows, looked at Bailian and said solemnly:
"Don't you think your Highness's words are a little too much? Thousands of warehouses and thousands of boxes cannot be harvested in one plow, and it cannot take ten days to dry up the trees in the sky.
If there were no heroic people in the land of Zhongyou, how could today's glorious achievements be achieved by relying solely on Your Majesty and His Highness? "
Balian looked at him slowly: "It seems that you are not convinced?"
The person who spoke couldn't help but think of the scene where His Royal Highness the Prince bloodbathed the Imperial Palace three days ago, and unconsciously wanted to swallow the words on his lips.
But then I thought about it, he was not treasonous, and he was a ghostly and heroic courtier in the hall. No matter how murderous the newly returned prince was, he would not dare to kill his own subjects in public, right?
In addition, after hearing what Bailian said just now, most of them regarded them as slaves and worms in captivity, and they couldn't help but feel a little angry.
He couldn't help gritting his teeth and said: "If His Highness means that we can only survive in the world by relying on Your Majesty's blessings, I will naturally not accept it! But I believe that Your Highness can stand here today..."
"Well, you are right. The fact that you are able to stand here with all your beard and tail intact today is indeed due to my mother's blessing." Balian suddenly interrupted.
The words were blurted out without any thought, and the seriousness of the words immediately made the atmosphere in the hall tense.
Even Yin King Qiao Yu was stunned and knelt down on the spot.
Shen Tu still maintained a meticulous kneeling posture, holding the cards in his hand very steadily, and his deep brows revealed a meaningful smile.
The minister who spoke just now opened his mouth wide, thinking that he heard wrongly.
Immediately he reacted, and it was difficult to hide the anger on his face, and he felt that he had been greatly humiliated.
His face turned red and he said: "With your Highness's words, aren't you afraid that Zhongyou will chill the hearts of thousands of people?!"
Balian smiled and said: "To be honest, whether you are cold-hearted or not is really not what I care about.
The hustle and bustle in the world is all for benefit, and the hustle and bustle in the world is for benefit.
Isn't it precisely because this place is beneficial to you and can accommodate you that you gather together in the Zhongyou Dynasty to serve as subjects and settle down?
Has it happened that over time, you have forgotten the saying that there is reincarnation in the six realms and there are tribulations and punishments in the heavenly realm?
All living beings are born and die, reincarnation cycle, no one else does evil, no one else suffers retribution; one's own deeds reap their own fruits, this is the case for all living beings.
There is no such thing as a heroic spirit between heaven and earth. Life and death perish and perish in the six realms. Things come like water rising in the sea, and things go away like shadows extinguishing in the sky.
Everyone who died should have fallen into the six realms of reincarnation, walked the Santu River, drank the Mengpo soup, passed through the Netherworld Palace, and entered reincarnation.
Those who have deep obsessions and resentments and do not enter reincarnation will be captured by the Nine Netherworld disciples and thrown into the eighteenth level of hell, and will never be reincarnated!
It’s my mother, Empress Yingji! The blood was poured out to form the earth, the bones of the spine opened up the mountains and rivers to form a dynasty, and created the boundary point between the middle and the deep.
Tolerate the resentful souls who have been left in the world, and use the purifying power of the earth to wash away the hostility, thus giving birth to heroic spirits, which are entrusted to the mountains and seas for eternal life.
She establishes national boundaries, establishes territory, collects orphaned souls, makes it difficult for wild ghosts to be seen in the world, and allows everyone to have a place to kill the treacherous cultivators.
So I don't understand... what you have to object to. "
Balian turned halfway, looked at the throne above the ninth level from afar, and said: "Do you think she really cares about this position?
What Ying Xiu says is what you people think.
how? Aniang has single-handedly created such a country of refuge. After you have stayed there for a long time, and you have conquered the world in the name of a heroic spirit, you feel that you can ask her for anything you want.
Why do you ignore the overall situation and ignore Zhongyou for the sake of your own personal relationship with your children?
You are so crazy that you are not worthy of being an empress anymore!
Ying Xiu said that he lured ghosts to the human world, but he failed to kill one of the ghosts. You can still accept it happily.
I want to ask you guys! My mother-in-law, as the empress, should dedicate her whole life to Zhongyou. She should not get married and have children like other ordinary women. By marrying into Tianxi, she is being selfish and disregarding the interests of her people!
She and Bailiyu reconciled, she was acting willfully! Failed to secure a future for Zhongyou during Tianxi’s heyday!
You have said all these good and bad things, but in the end you still think that my mother is useless and should be replaced by someone else!
Is this because my mother is too useless, or you guys who only know how to rely on are too incompetent! "
The minister was shocked and speechless, his mouth opened wide, and he didn't know how to respond for a moment.
"I hope you can understand one thing. The world is not one person's world, but Zhongyou... is one person's Zhongyou!"
Bailian looked at everyone coldly from top to bottom: "Zhongyou is not your peaceful land.
I gave you this right, and I will naturally take it back!
If you don't accept it, you can go to that purgatory with your pride! Take a look at the scenery on Jiuyou Road and experience the torture tools in the hands of the underworld.
Then you will know what kind of magical days you are feeling unhappy about right now. "
The minister's eyes turned red: "The prince's words are fair to us!"
“Those who only care about advantages and disadvantages can have the face to talk about fairness with others.
Zhongyou never raises two ministers, let alone pressure me with national destiny and justice. If you really want to stay in the land of Zhongyou, then sincerely pray to me that your majesty will be safe and happy, and will not be disturbed by the world. Well done. "
Balian's eyes were dull: "I have a gentle temper, but I am not a talkative person either.
You can enjoy the achievements my grandma has made with peace of mind, but you cannot remember the rules she has set.
Manfu Jun was able to hold on to his objections three days ago, which means he listened carefully to A Niang's words. If he can't grant this Xu Seal, who else can grant it? "
Everyone in front of the palace was left speechless by the questioning.
His Royal Highness is obviously serious about this.
Everyone could see clearly that he was holding back his anger and did not want to see his mother being wronged, so he came to stand up for her.
The appearance of calmly spreading fire was really scary, and no one in the palace dared to speak freely anymore.
For fear of irritating His Highness the Crown Prince, causing him to feel unhappy and taking His Majesty back to his parents' home angrily, they would really just stare.
A court meeting is held with trepidation. Those who deserve punishment are punished, those who deserve rewards are rewarded, and those who deserve to be demoted are demoted.
The imagined situation in which His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took over the power and firmly held the position of supervising the country did not occur.
But everyone is like a mirror.
The person who enjoyed the most satisfactory meeting in today's court meeting was the Great King's Hall Shen Tu.
The brightness of a hundred stars is not as bright as the light of one month.
Ten rooms open are not as bright as one house.
Although His Highness's move today made many ministers feel unhappy, he succeeded in winning the heart of this great king.
The court meeting was held like a child's play and ended in a very heavy atmosphere.
But after such a scene, it was hard for everyone to feel any dissatisfaction with Ying Ji.
Two hundred years ago, they really looked down upon this ignorant little prince.
There are so many proud people in the world.
On that day, his pride was born in his bones, so what if he refused to bend his knees despite all the difficulties? Although his strength is weak and humble, his backbone is nothing but an insignificant thing in the eyes of these big men.
In front of the Palace of Government, his objection was even more of a self-destructive joke.
But he believed that if he could seize the opportunity given to him by His Highness the Crown Prince.
One day, his speech will be taken seriously by tens of thousands of people, no longer will people take it lightly, and his life will be as thin as paper!
Who would have expected that His Highness the Crown Prince, who seems to have the most docile temperament, would actually have a temper that is even more unpredictable and difficult to control than His Majesty.
Her Majesty the Empress at least has a deep love for Zhongyou and loves her people and courtiers.
But they could see that the Crown Prince's affection for Zhongyou's homeland originated from His Majesty.
As for the heroic spirit subjects like them, their most passionate feelings are just love for the house and the bird.
If they are ungrateful, take whatever they want from His Majesty, and even do harm to His Majesty, they believe that the bloodbath in the Imperial Palace will definitely happen again.
At the end of the court meeting, people left the Guozheng Palace one after another.
Only the two people who were awarded the seal stayed in the palace.
The young heroic spirit Lord Manfu never thought that one day he would be able to become one of the confidants granted the seal by the prince.
It even stands alone in the Guozheng Palace with the Dawang Palace under the Zhongyou Dynasty.
All this seemed like a dream, until I saw His Highness walking up carrying a bright lamp.
He trembled as if waking up from a big dream, and knelt down in fear: "Your Majesty... Your Highness, it is Manfu's great fortune that His Highness has such an appreciation. It's just that Manfu's qualifications are still young and his cultivation level is very low." Weak, afraid... afraid of taking on such a big responsibility!"
The light in Balian's hand was slightly tilted, clearly illuminating Manfu's face that was pale due to excessive tension.
He said calmly: "That day in front of the Guozheng Palace, facing the murderous intention of the Shentu Palace, you still had the courage to object, but now that Xu Seal is in your hand, how come you have lost your confidence and courage? Is it possible that this Xu? Is it more difficult and terrible to seal one's life than to die?"
Lord Manfu opened his mouth with a look of shame on his face.
King Shentu said: "Although some people have strong cultivation, their bones are soft. Even if they are given this seal, it will be useless. Although your cultivation is weak, you can be proud and not afraid of the strong. This is what you do." Truly rare.
You can practice if you are young, you can practice if you are weak, but there are some things that time cannot change.
Since His Highness has granted you the Xu Seal, it is naturally because no one is more suitable than you. You can question your own abilities, but you cannot question His Highness's decision-making. "
Manfu could not have imagined that three days ago he was an ant who was randomly beaten and crushed to death under Shen Tu's feet, but now he would be so seriously praised by the King's Palace as rumored.
Manfu knew in his heart that the attitude of Shentu Palace had nothing to do with whether his bones were soft or hard.
When he was about to die, Manfu, who was still confused, suddenly had an epiphany and understood the meaning of this seal.
He bowed his head deeply, his eyes no longer dodge and he felt ashamed: "Manfu will never let down His Highness's trust!"
After hearing this, Shen Tu's eyes showed some satisfaction, and he added: "His Highness left us alone, but he has something to give."
Bailian said: "I wonder how much the Great King's Palace knows about Ying Xiu's collusion with the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Alliance?"
Shen Tu pondered for a moment and did not hide anything, saying: "The six-path spiritual root in Ying Xiu's body was given by Gu Sansong, the leader of the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Alliance, and this plan was also ordered by Gu Sansong.
The Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Alliance has developed extremely rapidly in recent years, and its ambitions are so great that it may not only be limited to the three Tiandao sects, but its Immortal Alliance also has many business contacts in various countries.
If I guessed correctly, this action of the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Alliance should be to use Ying Xiu's hand to capture the Thirteen Capitals of Zhongyou and expand the business of the underground city.
On the surface, the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Alliance wants to cooperate with our Zhongyou Dynasty, and has promised great benefits in order to obtain the thirteen capitals.
But once the cancer of the underground dark city is allowed to be stationed on the border of our country of Zhongyou, Zhongyou's important land lines and heroic spirits will probably be kept in captivity, used to study secret techniques and trials.
You can also arbitrarily choose Zhongyou’s connections and resources, thus becoming the first secret arrow in the history of external cultivators in the human world to penetrate into my Zhongyou! "
