Dingyangdian Square!
Zuo Baifeng's voice was very low, and Wang Xiong did not deliberately make any noise. To outsiders, the two seemed quite friendly. A group of officials slowly entered the Dingyang Hall with doubts and coldness.
Not long after, only two people were left outside Dingyang Hall.
Wang Xiong is on one side and Zuo Baifeng is on the other.
In Dingyang Hall, it was a little noisy at first. Hundreds of civil and military officials, Ying family members, and vassal kings gathered together, and there was some chaos.
Wang Xiong came with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering in the breeze, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.
Although I was prepared for the self-defense in the court today, it was also full of dangers. If I was not careful, I would be doomed. Of course, I had to defend myself today.
If you don't come today, you will lose everything. With a weak cultivation body, it is not easy to secure the position of the Great Qin vassal king. With great power, there are also great risks. This is the case today.
"call!"
At this moment, a huge aura suddenly came from Dingyang Hall. The breath flashed and disappeared. The main hall, which was noisy just now, fell silent for an instant.
The appearance of this aura made Wang Xiong narrow his eyes.
The Human Emperor is here
"Greetings to the Human Emperor, long live the Human Emperor!" A chorus of respectful voices came from the court.
Wang Xiong, Jumen, and Zuo Baifeng all stared at Dingyang Hall.
After the sound of worship in Dingyang Hall, there seemed to be a group of officials playing something.
"Reporting to the Human Emperor, Dongfang Palace, Wang Xiong! Waiting outside the palace!" came a voice.
"Xuan!" A deep voice sounded.
"Xuan, Dongfang Prince Mansion, Wang Xiong comes to the palace to see you!" A loud shout resounded throughout the Dingyang Hall.
"Xuan, Dongfang Prince Mansion, Wang Xiong has come to the palace to see you!" a chamberlain outside the palace shouted.
"The Human Emperor has summoned Wang Xiong of the Eastern Palace to come to the palace to see him!" A chamberlain walked up to Wang Xiong and said.
Wang Xiong turned to look at the giant door: "Wait here, wait for my summons!"
"Yes! Sir!" Jumen nodded solemnly.
With a flick of his sleeves, Wang Xiong slowly stepped towards Dingyang Hall.
Not far away, Zuo Baifeng's face was gloomy and he could only wait.
Wang Xiong walked to the entrance of Dingyang Hall, paused slightly, looked at the huge plaque again, looked solemn, and stepped into the hall.
As soon as he entered the main hall, there seemed to be an aura of divine power coming towards him. This aura rushes straight into people's souls, and the impact is even greater than that caused by the ninth-grade Heavenly Eye.
The Dingyang Hall is very large, with hundreds of civil and military officials standing in two rows.
Beside the hundreds of officials on the left, there were men in fine clothes standing at the moment. They were the children of the Ying clan, and they all looked at Wang Xiong with cold expressions.
On the right side of the hundred officials stood King Taiwu, Princess Qinghuan, Zhou Chi, Jiang Zishan, Yin Chongxu, and a group of quite young men. Obviously, they represented the vassal kings of Great Qin. Except for King Taiwu who came in person, other vassal kings sent representatives. Everyone looked at Wang Xiong with complicated expressions.
Wang Xiong ignored the crowd and looked towards the high platform due north. On top of the high platform was a dark golden dragon chair. On the dragon chair, a man wearing a black dragon robe with gold threads sat upright. It was the Emperor of Qin.
The Human Emperor of the Qin Dynasty wore a flat crown on his head, and the bead curtain drooped. Although his face could not be covered, for some reason, the face of the Human Emperor behind the bead curtain could not be seen clearly. There is just a vague feeling of divine power and inviolability, making it impossible for people to raise their heads and look at each other.
As soon as Wang Xiong entered the main hall, representatives of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, the Ying clan, and the vassal kings all looked at Wang Xiong.
Wang Xiong was dressed very casually today, wearing a white robe without any markings. When Wang Xiong entered the palace, everyone was waiting for Wang Xiong to bow down.
After all, all civil and military officials in the dynasty understood the intimidation and power of the Emperor, which made people instinctively feel like worshiping him.
But in front of Wang Xiong, he actually withstood this power of heaven.
Not far away, King Taiwu narrowed his eyes, showing a hint of surprise, and the civil and military officials in the court also frowned.
After waiting for a while, when everyone was sure that Wang Xiong was not affected by the coercion of the Human Emperor, Wang Xiong gave a slight salute: "King Dongfang, Wang Xiong, I have met the Human Emperor!"
Everyone calls Wang Xiong 'Eastern Palace, Wang Xiong! ', but Wang Xiong calls himself 'King of the East, Wang Xiong! '. The difference between one word and another represents everyone's attitude.
"No courtesy!" the Human Emperor said.
"call!"
The Human Emperor excused himself, and immediately, the breathtaking aura of divine power disappeared. But at this moment, the main hall became more solemn.
"Wang Xiong, do you know why I asked you to come?" the Human Emperor said again.
"Justify this king's name!" Wang Xiong said with firm eyes.
Clear name
Many officials sneered with disdain. I don’t know whether to call Wang Xiong naive or stupid.
"Master Yushi, where is Zhang Zhengdao?" the Human Emperor asked.
"I'm here!"
The first of the two rows of courtiers on the right is the imperial censor. Zhang Zhengdao, the imperial censor, stepped out of his column in an instant and bowed respectfully to the emperor.
Wang Xiong looked at the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, and saw that all the officials looked at him coldly. Not all officials were like this. At least, the man at the top of the list of officials has always been calm, neither sad nor happy. Wang Xiong knew that he was the prime minister of Qin.
The official system of the Qin Dynasty was a system of three princes and nine ministers. Under the human emperor, apart from the vassal kings, these three princes were the largest.
The three princes are the prime minister, the Taiwei, and the imperial censor!
Taiwei Pang is in charge of the eastern fiefdom. Among the current courtiers, the prime minister and the imperial censor are the most important.
In the hall this time, there were still half of the officials who had the same attitude as the Prime Minister. This half looked calm and had no intention of getting involved in this trial, but the remaining half of the officials did, and it was also a violent frenzy.
"Wang Xiong said that this court meeting is to rectify Wang Xiong's name, so it will be up to you to preside over it, judge Wang Xiong's name, determine Wang Xiong's character, and allow Wang Xiong to argue!" the Human Emperor said.
"Your Majesty, I obey the order!" Zhang Zhengdao, the imperial censor, shouted in response.
Zhang Zhengdao shouted in response, and the court naturally fell silent. Everyone understood that the state trial had begun.
"Information to the Human Emperor that the Chi Lian envoy has handed over his credentials. He said that this trip is related to the Eastern Fiefdom and Wang Xiong. Will it also be announced to the court and included in this trial?" Zhang Zhengdao looked at the Human Emperor. .
All civil and military officials frowned slightly, but no one dared to interrupt.
"Correct!" The Human Emperor nodded.
"Pass the Chilian Mission!" Zhang Zhengdao shouted.
"Pass the Chilian Mission!" A loud shout came from outside the hall.
Soon, Zuo Baifeng and the Chi Lian delegation slowly entered the hall.
"Chilian Holy Land, Zuo Baifeng, I have met the Human Emperor of Great Qin!" Zuo Baifeng saluted the Human Emperor.
"Yes!" The Human Emperor responded lightly.
"Chi Lian Mission, the day before yesterday you kept writing to attend today's court meeting. Under the guarantee of the Ying family clan, I specially allow you to come and take the permission of the Emperor to participate in our court's national trial. I hope you and others will not make any noise. , listen to my arrangements, Da Qin!" Zhang Zhengdao said solemnly.
"Yes!" Zuo Baifeng laughed.
While smiling, Zuo Baifeng turned around and gave Wang Xiong a slight salute.
Although this ceremony was silent, it gave the civil and military officials a very bad impression. What does this Chilian Mission mean? As soon as he entered the court, he only paid homage to the Human Emperor and Wang Xiong
Zhang Zhengdao also looked at him coldly and ignored him, but looked at Wang Xiong.
"Dongfang Palace, Wang Xiong! As ordered by the Human Emperor, I am responsible for your case. Please cooperate with me!" Zhang Zhengdao looked at Wang Xiong solemnly.
"I will naturally cooperate with the Human Emperor's order. However, please pay attention to your wording, the imperial censor. This time is to rectify my name, not a case. Now, the Human Emperor is watching, the civil and military officials of the court are watching, and the Ying clan is watching. , The vassal kings from all sides are watching, and the whole Qin Dynasty is paying attention, Doctor Zhang, don’t let outsiders see the joke!" Wang Xiong looked at the imperial censor and sneered.
As soon as Wang Xiong opened his mouth, everyone understood that this Wang Xiong was not an easy person to talk to.
This hasn't even started yet, yet he dares to contradict the imperial censor in front of the court. This is a tough nut to crack.
Zhang Zhengdao was used to seeing wind and waves. He didn't take Wang Xiong's squeeze seriously. Instead, he smiled coldly and said, "Is it a case? We'll know in a minute!"
While speaking, Zhang Zhengdao waved his hand.
Not far away, a coffin was carried to the center of the hall. Ying Fen and Ying Dong, father and son, supported the coffin and looked at Wang Xiong with hatred on their faces.
"Kuang!"
The coffin landed in the center of the hall. The lid of the coffin was not closed, and there seemed to be bursts of white air floating inside. Within the white air was the well-preserved body of Ying Sheng.
The injuries on the corpse still retained the same appearance as on the Tomb of Gods Mountain, and the dagger between the eyebrows was still dazzling.
"Wang Xiong, you must pay for your life by killing me. If you kill my son, you must pay for my son's life today. I, the descendants of the Ying family, will not be killed just by you!" Ying Fen said with hatred in his eyes.
"Oh, it's well preserved. It's been half a year, but the body is still the same?" Wang Xiong showed a sneer.
"Presumptuous!" "How brave!" "I don't know how to repent even when I'm about to die!"...
In the hall, all the Ying clan members stared at Wang Xiong.
Half of the officials who were preparing to get involved in the case were also angered by Wang Xiong's words, and they all looked at Wang Xiong with cold eyes.
"Wang Xiong, half a year ago at God's Tomb Mountain, you tortured and killed the emperor's grandson Ying Sheng. Do you know your guilt?" Zhang Zhengdao glared.
Not far away, Princess Qinghuan was anxious and wanted to defend Wang Xiong, but King Taiwu on the side held Princess Qinghuan and told her not to be impulsive. If she rushed forward at this moment, not only would she not be able to explain clearly, but she would make things worse. .
Wang Xiong glanced at Ying Sheng's corpse, revealed a sneer and said: "Master Yushi, this king comes to the capital of God this time to clear his name. The Human Emperor allows me to defend myself, which is based on facts. Defend, instead of just imposing slander like this. In front of the civil and military officials of the dynasty, you called a deer a horse and slandered the current vassal king. I also ask you, do you know your guilt?"
Zhang Zhengdao asked Wang Xiong, do you know the crime? Wang Xiong asked Zhang Zhengdao again, "Do you know the crime?"
For a moment, all the officials looked at Wang Xiong in shock. Does Wang Xiong still want to plead guilty
"Ha, Wang Xiong, what can you do even if you are eloquent? You can't be relied on to kill the emperor's grandson in Shen Tomb Mountain. Do you think you can get away with it just because you refuse to admit it? Ying Sheng, Da Qin The grandson of the emperor, the Marquis of Wansheng, the official of the Great Qin court, not to mention that you are not the vassal king of the Great Qin, you are the vassal king of the Great Qin, and you kill the court officials at will, and you have to be punished according to the crime. Do you think your eloquent words are useful?" Zhang Zhengdao said coldly.
"You are the one who is so eloquent, aren't you, Mr. Zhang? I don't know how you got into the position of imperial censor. You can slander others at will without asking for reasons or evidence, just with your passion? Zhang? Sir, slander without evidence is untenable, do you think glib words are useful?" Wang Xiong stepped forward and said.
Is it the other way around what Zhang Zhengdao said
The ministers looked at Wang Xiong with a look of disgust and anger.
Zhang Zhengdao was even more angry. I didn't expect that Wang Xiong would dare to default on his debt as soon as he came up. How unreasonable.
"Huh, Wang Xiong, Ying Sheng didn't die inexplicably, but he was killed by you, Wang Xiong, in front of a group of people. You may be eloquent, but you can't stop others from talking!" Zhang Zhengdao said coldly. Leng said.
"Where's the evidence?" Wang Xiong said coldly.
"Is there evidence of my Wang Xiong's murder on Ying Sheng's body, or did someone see me, Wang Xiong, personally take out the dagger and insert it into Ying Sheng's eyebrows? Mr. Zhang, as long as you find physical evidence or witness, as long as If you have one, I will recognize your eloquence, how about it?" Wang Xiong said calmly.
As long as you have evidence, I will admit it! Wang Xiong's words made Ying Fen and others look overjoyed.
But Wang Xiong himself showed a slight sneer of disdain.
