Chapter 392: Secret Territory
Chapter 392: Secret Territory
Especially when he learned that the emperor fought bravely on the battlefield, but unfortunately died in battle, and even his head was cut off by the brutal enemy, while his minister Liu Yuntian was able to return safely and unharmed, all the mysteries suddenly became clear.
At this point, he finally understood everything: it turned out that Liu Yuntian was an absolute traitor!
Not only did he manipulate the emperor as a puppet, he was also the black hand hiding behind the scenes controlling everything!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but get furious.
As a loyal minister who is dedicated to the country and the people, he absolutely cannot tolerate the existence of such a powerful minister who acts recklessly and disrupts the government in the court!
No matter what the cost, he vowed to fight this evil force to the end and restore clarity and justice to the court.
At that time, Liu Yuntian was on a military campaign and was unable to handle matters related to the palace examination.
The eunuch told him that if there was no rush, he could wait until Mr. Liu returned before taking the palace examination.
If you don't want to wait, you can ask the prime minister to do it for you.
Heard this news,
He breathed a sigh of relief.
He went without stopping to meet Prime Minister Fang.
Prime Minister Fang did not make things too difficult for him. After testing him on a few questions, he assigned him to the cabinet.
Finally, after learning from various sources, he discovered that both Prime Minister Fang Qing and Cabinet Lord Qian were good officials who loved their people like their own children.
All government decisions are based on the people of the world.
This made him feel even more that they were not alone. It turned out that the only treacherous minister in Liang State was Liu Yuntian!
As long as we defeat him, the people will definitely live a better life!
He didn't know why he had this idea, nor did he know why he had to defeat Liu Yuntian, but he felt that it was the right thing to do!
"Mr. Qian! Prime Minister Fang!"
Seeing that the imperial caning was about to fall on him, but Mr. Qian remained indifferent, he became a little panicked.
These guards are all real monks, while he is just an ordinary mortal.
There are many sayings about the caning in the court. After being caned 100 times, the person will be safe and sound.
A single blow from the stick could also kill a person.
He didn't know what Liu Yuntian's attitude was, he only knew that he must not take the twenty strokes of the cane.
How could he die tragically in front of a treacherous minister when his great cause has not yet been accomplished?!
"Haha, do you think they can save you?"
Liu Yuntian looked at Fang Qing and Qian Lao and asked, "My lords, I have a bad memory. What does the 31st example of the seventh chapter of Daliang Law say?"
Then, under Su Liang's horrified expression, Qian Lao gave the answer, "The National Protection Army is the foundation of Liang State. If there is no turmoil in the country, those who dare to advise against sending troops will first be punished with 20 strokes of the cane in court. If it is found that the adviser has ulterior motives and has shown signs of collaborating with the enemy, the three clans will be exterminated!"
Liu Yuntian squatted in front of Su Liang, raised the corners of his mouth to reveal an evil smile, and jokingly said, "Don't you read the strategy guide when you are an official? Shabi?"
Su Liang couldn't understand why the advice to send troops was so common in the court of any country, so when it came to Liang State, the sending of troops was treated so cautiously?
However, Liu Yuntian would not explain. In his memory, the stability of a country is directly related to the control of military power.
How many dynasties were destroyed due to the abuse of the army, and he was also fond of placing undercover agents among various forces.
When it comes to this aspect of defense, Liu Yuntian is extremely vigilant.
The law that prohibits easily advising against sending troops was deliberately added to the Daliang Law.
Now Liu Yuntian beat him legally and reasonably, even if the Jade Emperor came to beat him he could not escape!
Liu Yuntian gave Su Liang a wicked smile and hooked his finger. Manager Jin understood what he meant and lifted the python chair off the platform and placed it in front of Su Liang.
"beat!"
After Liu Yuntian greeted him, he sat down on the python chair and watched the whole process of Su Liang being beaten with amusement.
Su Liang's screams also echoed throughout the hall.
…………
Speaking of this, the mysterious entrance to the secret realm of Southern Xinjiang is already crowded with people and bustling with activity.
Forces from all major sects gathered here, making this originally quiet place crowded.
Among the crowd, there are not only those famous disciples of the sects, but also many lone independent cultivators.
Some of them gathered in groups of three or five, whispering about the opportunities and dangers that this journey to the secret realm might bring, while others were alone, silently observing the movements around them, their eyes revealing a desire and anticipation for exploring the unknown.
However, although everyone was looking forward to it, the scene before them made them hesitate.
At the entrance to the secret realm, a group of Jinyiwei dressed in gorgeous clothes were standing on full alert, guarding the passage to the secret realm like an iron wall.
They all had stern expressions, holding sharp blades and looking around vigilantly. They had cordoned off an open area in front of the entrance and strictly prohibited any unauthorized personnel from approaching.
Even those powerful independent cultivators could only sigh helplessly in the face of such tight defenses, not daring to easily cross the line.
Not far behind this group of Jinyiwei, a luxuriously decorated chariot was particularly eye-catching.
This chariot is pulled by six spirit deer with pure snow-white fur and agile and nimble bodies. Each spirit deer exudes powerful spiritual fluctuations, and is obviously not an ordinary item.
Sitting on the chariot was the county governor from Zhongzhou - Mei Zai.
He looked relaxed and contented, leaning against a soft and comfortable pillow, gently waving a folding fan in his hand, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing an indescribable smile of comfort.
It seemed as if he didn't care at all about the noisy scene and the anxious mood of the people in front of him.
"Under the whole world, is it not the king's land."
"Since this secret realm appeared on my Daliang land, I should be the first to explore it!"
"But don't worry, Daliang is a holy dynasty that loves its people like its own children. We will definitely leave some soup for you."
After hearing Mei Zai's words, the discussions around them became louder.
Although they also got to drink soup when the Holy Land was ruled before, they were never told that they had to wait until they had searched the area before they could enter.
The actions of the prefect of Liang State are even more ruthless than those of the Holy Land. How can this not arouse public indignation?
However, due to the strength of Liang State, they dared not speak out and could only discuss in private.
But at this moment, a dozen people gathered in a corner, all wearing black robes, with hoods covering their faces, and seemed to be discussing something.
If Liu Yuntian was present, he would easily find out that one of them was his good brother Qi Xing!
"Bah! Dog officer!"
The black-robed man standing next to Qi Xing spat and turned to look at him, "Brother Xing, you used to be a Jinyiwei in Liang State. Do you know this Mei Zai?"
Qi Xing raised his head, secretly looked at the middle-aged man on the sedan chair, and then lowered his head again, "I don't know him, maybe he is new to the position."
"I know him!" Another person answered, "His former name was Mei Nan, and he was the governor of the capital government office after Xingge left Northern Frontier."
"With the existence of the Jinyiwei, the government office is just a decoration. Later, I heard that he was trying to curry favor with Liu Jian... uh, Liu Yuntian, and was given a new name, Mei Zai, and then he came to Zhongzhou and became a local emperor."
"He's just a bully. If the Jinyiwei weren't here, I would have stabbed him to death with one blow!"
