"So it's like this. The old monk of Qingwen Academy is very troublesome..." Zheng Shiyi muttered to himself and turned to look at Ming Ran with a smile: "Don't you always want to achieve righteousness? Become the abbot of Qingwen Academy."
"Should I be the abbot?" Ranran was stunned for a moment. He looked at Zheng Shiyi for a long time, and after confirming that Zheng Shiyi was not joking, he quickly shook his head: "No, no. I am just a senior disciple, and there are many senior brothers in front of me. , Master's uncle, and Master's uncle are not qualified to be abbots, regardless of their seniority or seniority."
"I knew you would say that." Zheng Shiyi shrugged helplessly, and then said in a calm tone: "If you don't act as host, it seems that I can only wipe out the Qingwen Academy."
"Why? Why do you want to destroy the Qing Wen Yuan?" An anxious look appeared on Ming Ran's face when he heard this. He knew very well that Zheng Shiyi kept his word.
Qingwenyuan, I entered Qingwenyuan since I was a child and was brought up by my master. Qingwenyuan is not only a place of Buddha's light to me, but also like my home.
Zheng Shiyi didn't seem to see the anxious look in Mingran's eyes, and said matter-of-factly: "Because it is always a threat."
"But he can no longer threaten you. You have imperial power. No matter how bold the Qingwen Academy is, they can't do anything to you." Miao Ran's voice was obviously louder, and his face turned red with excitement.
"Yes, he cannot threaten me, but..." Zheng Shiyi passed his hand in front of everyone around him one by one, and said matter-of-factly: "For my friends, Qingwen Academy is always a hidden danger, and it can threaten your life that day. I will threaten me again in the same way next time.
Qingwenyuan, I only trust you and your master. Now only you can manage the people in Qingwenyuan well, so that they can avoid the disaster of annihilation! "
"Now that we have reached this point, I won't say anything else. I am willing to be the abbot of Qingwen Academy." Liang Liang raised his head, looked up at the sky, and sighed helplessly: "Master! You don't want to see the blood of Qingwen Academy either. Chenghe, my disciple has overstepped his authority and taken the position of abbot. It is really helpless. I hope the master will understand."
Zhou Xiang walked up to Lao Ran and whispered in a voice that almost only he and the two of him could hear: "Hey, what are you praying for, you bald man? It was Lao Shi who forced you to be the abbot, and it was not you who asked for it. All the sins are on Lao Shi, so don’t worry about it here, Buddha will forgive you, because all the sins will be recorded on Lao Shi’s head.”
Zheng Shiyi was too lazy to pay attention to Zhou Xiang anymore, so he clapped his hands and said, "Okay! The matter has been decided. It's time to meet the people of the Nine Sects."
Outside the Lingxiao Palace, a group of warriors from the Nine Sects were exposed to the sun. Their clothes were already soaked with sweat. Everyone had already cursed Zheng Shiyi countless times.
He dared to let the nine sects wait for him here for a day and a night. Even Emperor Chu had never done such an outrageous thing. I really didn’t expect that the imperial power would fall into the hands of such a demon in the end. Although he was a demon from the demon sect, the royal family Military power is a great threat to no matter which sect it is. You can't fall out with him yet, otherwise even if the nine sects join forces, it may be difficult to resist the royal army!
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Suddenly, a high-pitched voice like a woman's voice reached everyone's ears clearly, and everyone turned away after hearing it.
Zheng Shiyi, wearing plain clothes, came slowly.
Zheng Shiyi passed through the path between the people and sat on a dragon chair that had just been placed in front of the Jinluan Palace. He glanced at the scene of thousands of people kneeling on the ground under the stairs, and countless words flashed through his mind.
"Zheng Shiyi! You loser! You're not even qualified to carry my shoes!"
"Zheng Shiyi! You are a waste. You will always be a waste. Waste can only become a stepping stone for our strong ones. You will never stand up."
"Zheng Shiyi! You are a waste of time. Keeping you here will only waste the family's resources. I will destroy you today..."
Countless scenes of humiliation flashed before his eyes like a movie. He took a deep breath and sighed in his heart. He was just an insignificant person in the family back then, not to mention the head of the nine sects, just picked at random. Every inner disciple has to look up, and he doesn’t even have a chance to look up.
Now, all the top leaders of the nine sects are kneeling here, waiting for his lecture. This is something he has never thought of. This feeling of being above ten thousand people is really good.
Looking at the heads of various sects kneeling at the front, after a moment of silence, he finally slowly asked: "Do you know why I ordered you to come here today?"
When all the sect leaders heard Zheng Shiyi's words, they shuddered as if a basin of ice water was poured from their heads. He had told the world more than once that anyone who dared to touch Xuan Ming would be destroyed. This time it must be for Xuan Ming. Sent.
But how can you admit to knowing such a thing
Zheng Shiyi is simply a madman. In his eyes, killing people seems to be a normal thing. Now that even the emperor has died in his hands, what else can he not do? He absolutely cannot show that he knows about this. Who knows if he will Sudden violence and murder.
The heads pretended to be completely unaware and shook their heads one after another: "I don't know, I hope your majesty will make it clear."
"If it weren't for my letter, I'm afraid that our Xuanming sect would have been occupied by the nine sects." Zheng Shiyi looked at everyone with burning eyes. He had informed the world many times and even killed members of the Yuxu sect and Qinghong sect. The leader, even so, can't stop them from attacking Xuan Ming. Now, I want to see how he gives me an explanation.
As soon as the words came out, the people who were already trembling became even more panicked, and drops of cold sweat flowed down from their foreheads.
It’s really about the Xuanming Sect, no! We must never admit that the sect took the initiative to join the crusade. In order for the sect to prosper in the future, we must find a scapegoat.
This matter started because of the royal family, but now the blame cannot be placed on the royal family. This is undoubtedly contempt for Zheng Shiyi's rights, but if you blame it on any of the other eight sects, I am afraid that no one will take on such a big burden. What to do!
Everyone bowed their heads in silence for a moment. Suddenly, the voice of Chu Yan, the leader of Tianlei Sect, completely relieved the breathless pressure: "Reporting to Your Majesty, this matter was not done voluntarily by me, Tianlei Sect, but was caused by Due to the coercion of the leader of the Yuxu Sect, as the leader of the Tianlei Sect, I was forced to embark on this wrong path in order to reduce casualties for the sake of my disciples.
However, our Tianlei Sect only sent people and did not actually attack the Xuanming Sect. We were just pretending. "
Chu Yan paused for a moment, as if the weight of his words was not enough, he spoke again: "Your Majesty, as the king of a country, you have always put the people of the world first, putting the people first in everything, and you are the example of my nine sects. I think even if your Majesty encounters this kind of thing, he will not leave the people in trouble."
Chu Yan stood on the moral high ground every word, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. The eight leaders who didn't know how to deal with it all raised their heads at this moment, pretending to be aggrieved.
"Your Majesty, we, the Poison Gu Sect, have been friends with the Xuanming Sect for generations, so why would we try to invade Xuanming's territory? All of this was done by the head of the Yuxu Sect. If we don't agree to the Yuxu Sect's proposal, a fight will inevitably happen. , I am an old man, and I would not regret dying, but my disciple of Poison Gu is so young, it would be such a pity if he died because of this incident!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, although our Taiyin Sect ranks above Yuxu Sect, Yuxu's strength has increased rapidly in the past two years, and it is no longer something that our Taiyin Sect can resist. We have no choice but to compromise with them and join them. of their team.”
Liu Feng, the leader of the Qinghong Sect, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at Zheng Shiyi sitting on the emperor's throne, and clenched his fists fiercely. This beast killed his father in front of him, and now he actually controls the power of the royal family. His father's hatred was irreconcilable, but he could do nothing against him.
If he confronts him head-on, he will only die. It is not too late for a man to take revenge after ten years. His father cannot die in vain. Temporary surrender does not mean permanent. Only by leaving his life can he avenge his father. One day, he will definitely carry Zheng Shiyi's head. He went to worship at his father's grave.
The anger in Liu Feng's heart gradually subsided and he lowered his head and said: "Our Qinghong sect is only a weak sect from the lower five sects, and is not strong enough to fight against the Yuxu sect. It is only a temporary solution to collide with your majesty and join the crusade. Please forgive me for your sins." .”
Zheng Shiyi glanced at everyone for a week, and finally his eyes fell on Chu Yan, secretly appreciating him. He was a shrewd person who stepped down from the position of being the leader but still continued to do his job.
When he went to the sect to ask for documents to withdraw from the army, he was tricked by him, and then he put up a notice and was tricked again. Now he is dragging all the charges on a dead man. This is really clever. He can't bring the dead back to life. Go ask for the ins and outs.
"As expected of the leader of the Tianlei Sect, blaming everything on the dead is really a good way to die without any evidence.
Okay, in this case, I will spare your life, but how do you think you should handle the matter of gathering warriors to take down multiple Xuanming sect's city bases to make up for Xuanming's losses? "
make up? If it’s not just a few camps, what kind of compensation do you need
Everyone cursed secretly and began to plan the next move in their minds. When he mentioned the station, he just wanted to find a legitimate reason to get rid of the nine sects. If they really broke out, they would have to fight to the death. Although there are thousands of royal troops around, the total number of the nine sects is more than ten thousand. As long as all the sects work together, it shouldn't be a problem to escape.
Zheng Shiyi looked at the people who had lowered their heads and said nothing, and tapped the handle of the chair with two fingers of his right hand: "Since the various sects have not expressed their stance, let me talk about the compensation conditions. Each sect will hand over 50% of its resources to the Xuanming Sect. , listen up, it’s 50% of all the sect’s resources, 50% of the elixirs, books, mountains and everything else.”
