Although Tai Changshi Yanchang has been labeled as confusing the emperor in the minds of some admonishers, in fact, his main responsibility is to observe the sky and calculate the solar terms and formulate the calendar.
These tasks must be done by people with good minds, and they often seem a bit mysterious, but they rarely do unnecessary things on weekdays. Among the courtiers, they are the most Buddhist type and will not flatter. It was also not his turn to give direct advice.
It’s just that things like the Water and Land Dharma Assembly, as the supervisor in charge of Taishi Sitianjian, will inevitably be pushed to the forefront by the emperor.
Sitianjian is a place that has always had something special about it. For a long time, observing the four seasons of the sky, day after day, year after year, one may be able to understand some of the subtleties. Xing can also feel that the old beggar is special among all the mages, and it is not without such reasons.
But Yan Chang never thought that the old beggar would bring trouble to him. At this time, he lay on the ground and did not dare to move.
After the emperor sneered, he pointed downwards.
“Capture Taishi Si Tianjian, Zheng Yanchang, and this old beggar for me!”
“Yes!”
The emperor gave an order, and the surrounding guards suddenly burst into flames. Their high martial arts brought outstanding explosive power.
In an instant, silhouettes of people flashed past. The old beggar had a knife on his neck in three directions, and his neck was surrounded by the blades.
Two more knives were placed on Yan Chang’s neck. The guards took Yu Gui away and detained him with his hands behind his back. His whole body was pulled up like a child at the mercy of the guards.
Yan Chang’s face was pale, his heartbeat was pounding so fast that it was about to burst out of his chest, and his heart was filled with the thought of ‘It’s over, it’s over…’.
“Yan Chang, I’m here to ask you, who asked you to recommend this old beggar? The King of Wu or the King of Jin?”
The two princes looked horrified, kneeled down in line almost at the same time, and cried out for injustice almost at the same time.
“How dare I be so rebellious! I don’t know!”
This is really an unforeseen disaster for the two princes, and they hate Yan Chang equally at this moment.
“Hey…”
Yan Chang closed his eyes and sighed softly, barely calming down before opening his eyes again.
“Your Majesty, I recommended it myself, and it has nothing to do with the two Highnesses. Mr. Lu is a real master, but I don’t know that he dared to say such treasonous words in the court. I know he is guilty…”
Emperor Yuande snorted coldly and looked at the old beggar. He saw that his expression remained as usual, especially the eyes that were staring at him. His gaze was very dull, and he felt some inexplicable feelings in his heart.
“What about you, someone ordered you to…”
Emperor Yuan De hesitated for a moment and then continued.
“Or do you really just want to say what you just said?”
Among the mages who stepped aside on both sides of the main hall, some were calm but uneasy in their hearts, and some were gloating about their misfortune.
The jade-faced monk was also among the magicians. At this time, he looked at the old beggar and the old emperor, and murmured a low sigh.
“Well done, Ming King Buddha…”
The old beggar just looked at Emperor Yuande and did not immediately answer his words. Instead, he glanced at Yan Chang whose face was ashen.
“Hey, Mr. Yan, the old beggar feels a little sorry for you…”
After saying this, the old beggar raised his head to look at the emperor, and a smile appeared on his face again, but instead of the solemnity and respect he had when he asked the first question, he was as cynical as usual when begging.
“Your Majesty, this matter is all because of the arrogant words made by the old beggar myself. No wonder Sir Yan has nothing to do with the princes. How about this? If I execute the old beggar, it will make your Majesty less angry.”
Execution?
Yan Chang was extremely sensitive to this word now, and then he realized that he was not talking about himself, but that the old beggar was begging for death.
Although the courtiers on one side had many speculations in their minds, such as that they might be instigating behind the scenes to protect themselves, they did not dare to discuss it at this moment, so the front of the palace was very quiet.
The old emperor looked at the old beggar with a gloomy expression.
It took a long time to hold back a sentence.
“If you really have magical powers and mysterious magic, show it to me. As long as it is true, I will not only absolve you of your guilt, but also canonize and reward you!”
As soon as these words came out, there was a whisper among the courtiers. Even Yan Chang looked at the old beggar with hope. He had seen Ji Yuan swinging his sword and dancing in the moonlight, and the old beggar saw him now. I caught a cat, but when I listened to the conversation between several experts, it seemed that the cat was something special.
However, the old beggar smiled softly and shook his head.
“No need, just execute the old beggar.”
“You…”
The old emperor grasped the handle of the dragon chair tightly with both hands, leaned forward and sounded fiercely.
“You are really alone and I dare not kill you!”
Even though the old beggar had three sharp long knives on his shoulders, he seemed to ignore them. His hands were grabbed by the guards, so he tilted his head and rubbed the blades to scratch the itch on his shoulders.
Even the guards on the side couldn’t help but secretly marvel at the old beggar’s boldness. They grabbed his hand, and when they checked his Qi, they knew that the man’s body was “empty” and he was not a martial arts master.
After the old beggar was tickled, he still looked at the old emperor with the same expression, and there was even a look of pity in his eyes.
“Your Majesty, there is no need to bother killing an old beggar. Your Majesty, just do it.”
The old tendons on the back of the emperor’s old hands bounced due to exertion and excitement, and his chest heaved with anger. The way the old beggar looked at him made him feel angry.
“Hehehe… OK! The guards in front of the palace obeyed the order and immediately pushed the old beggar out of Yongning Street and beheaded him to show everyone!”
“I will supervise Si Tianjian to be upright, and he will always make his remarks…”
Yan Chang on the side couldn’t help but tremble, and thin beads of sweat continued to seep out of his cheeks.
“Remove your position and go to jail!”
“Yes! Yes!”……
Yan Chang’s whole body seemed to have lost all strength and fell down. Two guards carried him and dragged him out of the hall. They used the remaining strength to look at the old beggar. He was walking steadily, but he was beaten a few times. A guard escorted him out of the hall.
When the two “criminals” were escorted out, the palace became silent and a pindrop could be heard. However, the two princes were still kneeling on the ground and did not dare to stand up or raise their heads. They could even feel their father’s gaze. Looking at myself.
“Huh, you two, get up!”
“Thank you, Father!”
The two of them thanked each other in unison and glanced at each other subconsciously when they stood up. They both saw a look of lingering fear in their brother’s eyes.
After experiencing such a situation, many of the fifteen remaining mages in the temple were a little trembling with trepidation. The lessons from the past were right in front of them. The other Si Tianjian and officials from the Ministry of Etiquette who were also responsible for the Dharma Assembly were also worried.
The so-called emperor’s orders should not be ignored. Since the emperor himself ordered the execution in front of the palace, the guards naturally gathered their energy and immediately escorted the old beggar to the street outside the palace.
There was no need to wait for noon. The guards in front of the palace personally took custody of him, and a group of forbidden troops followed him. They escorted the old beggar directly to Yongning Street like a court minister who had committed an offense.
Forbidden soldiers held spears and halberds in front of them to clear the way for pedestrians.
“Go away, go away, don’t block the road! Stay out of the way!”
When many people saw this posture, they knew that someone was going to be beheaded. Immediately, many people followed him around, and more bad guys came after hearing the news.
“It seems like someone is going to behead someone over there! Really?”
“Go and take a look and you’ll find out!”
“Let’s go…wait for me.”
Watching a beheading is also a special and lively scene.
“Hey, there seems to be an old beggar in the prison car? Does it look like the minister came out of prison?”
“No, he is really a beggar. Look at those clothes, they are not even prison uniforms!”
“So it’s true…this beggar doesn’t seem to be afraid at all?”
“Are you scared?”
……
This scene also attracted some special people, including Ji Yuan and several real people from Yuhuaishan.
Ji Yuan also followed the crowd of civilians moving with the prison van and shouted in the direction of the prison van with a confused voice.
“Mr. Lu, what crime have you committed?”
Only one head of the old beggar was exposed outside the prison car, and he was still wearing shackles and anklets. He reluctantly turned around and shouted to Ji Yuan.
“Mr. Ji, I offended the emperor in the court, and I want to behead him!”
Ji Yuan was a little bit dumbfounded, but at the same time he was also a little curious. If the old beggar didn’t escape, would he really be killed?
But before he had time to think about it, two forbidden soldiers immediately came to Ji Yuan’s side and looked at him seriously.
“Who are you and what is your relationship with the prisoners?”
“Uh…the military masters clearly understand that I just drank tea with this old beggar and have nothing to do with it!”
Ji Yuan cupped his hands with a calm expression and a calm demeanor beneath his smile.
The Forbidden Soldiers looked at each other and didn’t make it too difficult. They just asked him to stay out of the way.
But the imperial army let Ji Yuan go, but the old beggar did not let him go.
“Mr. Ji~ The old beggar heard that people can eat their heads before being beheaded. How about you feel a little tired and help the old beggar get a bowl of food to eat?”
Seeing his appearance, Ji Yuan also smiled, nodded and turned around to leave.
When Ji Yuan came back, the old beggar happened to be pinned down in the middle of Yongning Street, with a large group of people surrounding him from a distance.
“Give way, please give way, I’m here to send you a meal!”
Ji Yuan apologized and pushed forward. As soon as the others heard about the meal being delivered, they immediately got out of the way, and soon Ji Yuan squeezed through the wall of people.
Several Jade Huaishan monks stood together, looking at Ji Yuan and the old beggar with strange expressions.
“Uncle, what are you doing?”
The old man who was asked was thinking carefully and his eyes were uncertain.
“Just look at it.”
Ji Yuan held a bowl full of minced pork rice with sauce. After greeting the surrounding guards and guards, he walked to the old beggar. By now, the old beggar had been unshackled and could eat by himself. .
“Mr. Lu, please use it.”
The old beggar took the big bowl with a smile, said “thank you” and started eating it.
The full bowl of rice was quickly eaten by him, and it was so delicious.
“Hiccup~”
After burping, the old beggar returned the bowls and chopsticks to Ji Yuan.
“Hey…Mr. Ji, please stay a little outside. Don’t let the old beggar’s blood stain your clothes. Oh, you are a pure body, so you are not afraid of this bit of dirt.”
Ji Yuan took the bowls and chopsticks, shook his head, and walked slowly back to the crowd of onlookers outside.
It seemed that the old beggar really planned to be “headed”, which reminded Ji Yuan of the ghost mother he had captured before, who could also survive after being beheaded.
“Since you’ve finished eating, let’s hit the road. Don’t blame me for being ruthless. I blame you for committing a capital crime!”
After the guard in front of the palace finished speaking, he personally acted as the axe-hand, pulled out his sword and raised it high, while the old beggar just knelt on the ground with his head lowered.
All the people watching almost shrank down subconsciously, and there was a burst of inhalation and trembling in the crowd.
The next moment, the guard’s sharp knife fell.
“Pfft…”
Heads rolled down, blood spurted from Zhaoshuyuan www.zhaｏshuyuan.com’s neck, and many onlookers trembled.
“Ah… Ouch…”
“Hiss…”
Ji Yuan opened his Dharma eyes and took a closer look at the old beggar, and suddenly realized something.
About four or five breaths later, something happened that horrified all the onlookers and executioners.
The headless corpse lying on the ground stood up again on its own, reaching forward to touch around unsteadily.
“Ah… ghost!”
“It’s a scam, run!”
“Ah…run…don’t push me!”
……
A group of common people fled in a hurry, and the surrounding imperial guards and guards in front of the palace were also shocked. They could neither escape nor escape, and their bodies were a little stiff…
“Hey, here it is, here it is!”
The head that rolled to the side also spoke, as if it was guiding the body to come to him.
After another while, the headless body picked up the head, and then pressed it back on his neck.
“Click la la…cluck la la…”
The old beggar twisted his neck, making a brittle sound, and then looked at the guards in front of the palace with a smile.
“Hey, this dynasty’s power is really hard to get involved in. The relationship between me and the old emperor as master and disciple is over!”
