Dafeng Night Watchman-Chapter 600 - : Intimidating All Officials

Xu Qian'an? !

This name echoed in the minds of the ministers, and people couldn't help but change their faces slightly, and recalled many bad memories.

Blocking the Meridian Gate to laugh at the crowd; blocking the Meridian Gate to kill the Duke; beheading the former emperor...

Watching him jump up and down, showing off his power, but there was nothing he could do.

In the past, it was Wei Yuan who protected this man, which made him so arrogant. Later, Wei Yuan died, and many people in the court were waiting for Emperor Yuan Jing to settle accounts with this man.

Waiting for his entire family to be executed.

The noisy waves suddenly rose, and the ministers looked at each other, whispering to each other, and some kept shaking their heads, indicating that they had not received the corresponding news.

Xu Xinnian stood at the end of the team, and the most heard words were "Didn't he leave Beijing?", "When did he come back?", "Why did this damn dog come back?" and so on.

The faces of the party leaders such as the Dali Temple Minister sank.

Zhang Xingying turned his head in astonishment and looked at Liu Hong. The same was true for several members of the former Wei Party. .

Xu Qian'an is back?

They didn't receive any news.

That guy is back in Beijing, that's good......At this moment, the former Wei party members felt very relieved.

Emperor Yongxing raised his lips and signaled the eunuchs to keep silent with his eyes, deliberately not interrupting the noise of the gentlemen.

A bunch of old foxes, the people who punish you are here... Emperor Yongxing was refreshed, and felt that all the depression of these days was swept away.

After the noise in the hall subsided, Emperor Yongxing slowly opened his mouth and said:

"As far as I know, Xu Yinluo has left Beijing and traveled around the world. Why is he back again?"

Liu Hong said loudly:

"Xu Yinluo traveled around the world and witnessed the difficult livelihood of the people. He felt compassion in his heart. Whenever he recalled the teachings of Duke Wei, he couldn't help but shed tears, so he stopped traveling around the world.

"I want to take charge of the night watchman on behalf of Duke Wei and return a bright and clear world to the court. "

The faces of the nobles and officials changed drastically, and they shouted:

"Your Majesty, no!"

"How can Xu Qi'an, a mere warrior, be in charge of the night watchman?"

"This boy is unruly and dared to break into the palace when he was working in the government office. If he is in charge of the night watchman, there will be no peace in the court and the country."

On the spot, more than half of the officials in the hall expressed opposition, and their emotions were many times more exaggerated than forcing them to donate.

Among the nobles, almost all of them voted against it.

It can be seen how unpopular the warrior surnamed Xu is.

Of course, there are also those who agree among the officials, such as former members of the Wei Party and some members of the Wang Party.

The latter's mood is much more complicated. Xu Qi'an is Wei Yuan's confidant and undoubtedly belongs to the Wei Party. In the past, the Wang Party would risk their lives to stop Xu Qi'an from being in charge of the night watchman.

But now.....

Everyone knows that Xu Erlang is the future son-in-law of Wang Shoufu.

With this relationship, this arrogant and domineering warrior seems to be able to become an ally again.

Xu Qian'an, this bastard, is back... The face of the Minister of Justice is mixed.

He loves and hates the warrior surnamed Xu. He loves him because he is very useful, and hates him because this bastard has written poems to scold him and has repeatedly ruined his good deeds in the past.

Old enemy.

But it must be admitted that only this bastard can suppress the civil and military officials in the court.

"Snap!"

The eunuch swung his whip, hitting the shiny ground, making a crisp sound.

Emperor Yongxing glanced at the ministers and said lightly:

"The night watchmen supervise the officials and guard the palace and the royal family. I have the final say on who will lead the night watchmen.

"When will it be your turn to step in?"

Just as he finished speaking, he saw Duke Dingguo step out of the noble team and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, please think twice."

Duke Dingguo was about fifty years old, wearing an eight-beam crown, a red silk robe, a jade belt around his waist, and a cloud and phoenix four-color flower brocade ribbon.

Although he was already half a century old, his eyes were bright and energetic, and his blood was vigorous without any signs of old age. It was obvious that he had a good cultivation.

Duke Dingguo's voice was full of energy:

"Your Majesty, how can you appoint a person who killed the king to be the night watchman."

Seeing someone touch on this taboo topic, the ministers in the hall fell silent.

Duke Dingguo continued:

"The father is the leader of the son. After all, the late emperor is your Majesty's father. Your Majesty appointed Xu Qian'an to be the night watchman. A hundred years later, the history books will record this, which may not be good for your Majesty's reputation.

"There will be criticisms from all walks of life. "

He said this very tactfully, meaning that if you appoint an enemy who killed your father as a high official, it will not sound good no matter how it is spread. It will also be recorded in history books in the future, and you will be criticized and criticized by future generations.

Emperor Yongxing cares most about his reputation.

"Your Majesty, Duke Dingguo's words make sense, please think twice."

"This matter, alas, is indeed inappropriate, Your Majesty."

The ministers echoed one after another.

Just as everyone was talking and the emotions were excited, Emperor Yongxing said lightly:

"Xu Yinluo has entered the palace this morning, come, invite him to the palace. "

The protests suddenly stopped, and the palace was silent, and you could hear a pin drop.

You invited everyone into the palace, why didn't you say so earlier... The officials stared at Emperor Yongxing in a daze, and the expressions on their faces seemed to say:

Are you kidding us?

No one spoke.

Duke Dingguo froze there, in a dilemma.

Xu Xinnian, who was at the door of the palace, covered his mouth with his hand to prevent himself from laughing out loud.

The officials were very opposed, shouting that they were regicides, but when they heard that their eldest brother had entered the palace, they immediately dared not speak.

It was like a one-sided curse across the wall. Cursing, but he didn't expect the other party to bring a ladder over the wall and cower on the spot.

In the suffocating silence, the nobles in the hall heard footsteps crossing the high threshold.

They looked sideways and saw a gorgeous blue-dressed woman stepping over. She had a calm temperament and gentle eyes. In a trance, everyone almost thought that the former blue-dressed woman had come back to life.

In the silence, the footsteps echoed slowly, walking to the throne and to the side of Duke Dingguo.

Da!

Xu Qi'an stopped, turned his head to look at Duke Dingguo, and said:

"I have heard of the execution of a thief, but I have never heard of the regicide.

"What do you think, Duke Dingguo?"

Duke Dingguo's face was burning, embarrassed and ashamed, and he hummed:

"Xu Qi'an, you..."

Before he finished speaking, his knees suddenly softened and he knelt on the ground.

Xu Qi'an sneered, "Ordinary people are not worthy of talking to me."

He waved his hand and swept Duke Dingguo away, fainting on the spot.

A dignified Duke was humiliated in the palace... Some royal relatives were so angry that they shouted:

"Xu Qi'an, how can you commit murder in the Golden Palace!"

This shout was so loud that the ministers outside the palace heard it clearly. They all raised their heads and looked into the palace.

"Xu Qi'an actually took action in the Golden Palace?"

"Ridiculous, the Golden Palace is where your majesty and the ministers discuss matters, the core of the dynasty, Xu Yinluo is too out of line."

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on freeweɓnøvel.com.

"This man is getting more and more daring, who can control him in the future?"

The ministers outside the palace murmured, and some civil servants who admired Xu Qi'an also felt that Xu Yinluo was too impulsive and insulting.

At this time, they heard Xu Yinluo's wild laughter from the hall:

"That day I broke into the Jinluan Hall with a knife and killed Yuan Jing. Why didn't you blame me for committing a crime in front of the hall?

"Yuan Jing colluded with the Wushen Cult and attempted to overthrow the foundation left by our ancestors. Xu killed him. In your eyes, I became a regicide?

"I defeated the coalition forces of Yan and Kang at Yuyang Pass and killed the tyrant Yuan Jing in the suburbs of Beijing. This saved the Dafeng Kingdom from being eroded by the Wushen Cult. Just to let you bunch of trash suck the people's fat?

"A mere Duke dares to talk about me in the hall. Don't you think that he can still stand in the hall and show off his power. Whose credit is it?"

The hall was silent.

The officials on both sides of the Danbi and in the square looked at each other.

Someone muttered, "What's the big deal about beating a Duke? Two were beheaded at Caishikou. "

"That's right. Xu Yinluo has made great contributions to the country, not inferior to the Duke of Wei in the past. How can a Duke of the State slander and criticize him?"

"Now that refugees are rioting everywhere, the world is not peaceful. Only with a third-rank warrior in charge can the country be stable. Your Majesty and the officials who still have reason should know how to choose."

The civil officials who admire Xu Qi'an spoke one after another, while the officials who were dissatisfied with him remained silent.

In the hall, Xu Qi'an stood with his hands behind his back, and his sharp eyes swept over the officials, nobles, and clan members, and sneered:

"I survived nine deaths and saved the country of Dafeng, not to support you bunch of trash.

"Whether you agree or not today, I will be in charge of the Night Watchman Yamen. Those who are stubborn and unyielding, don't blame me for being rude."

The ministers in the hall were livid, gnashing their teeth secretly, but they could do nothing.

A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. This man has killed a duke and beheaded the emperor. When he gets mad, he doesn't recognize his relatives.

It is wishful thinking to expect the rules of the officialdom and the laws of Dafeng to restrain him.

If this man is in charge of the night watchman, the entire officialdom will be at his mercy... With this thought, many people in the palace have already thought of resigning.

There is no point in mixing in such an officialdom. It is a terrible thing for a person who does not follow the rules to control the officialdom.

Xu Qiyan changed the subject and said:

"If you are willing to assist His Majesty wholeheartedly and work hard for the people, Xu will naturally not embarrass you. On the contrary, the yesterday of Duke Cao and Duke Huguo is your tomorrow."

The palace was quiet, no one refuted, no one responded.

No sound is also an attitude.

The nobles and officials looked unwilling, but perhaps Xu Qiyan's last words played a little role, and their emotions were temporarily stable.

One person suppressed hundreds of officials. In the current Dafeng, only Xu Qiyan can do it, except for the Supervisor........ Seeing this, Emperor Yongxing smiled and warmed up:

"With Xu Aiqing sitting in the night watchman's office, I feel relieved. I will trouble Xu Aiqing to assist me in the future.

"Dismiss the court. "

He stood up with a smile and left the Jinluan Palace with his personal eunuch.

After the court meeting, the civil and military officials walked silently in the square. Liu Hong and Wang Shoufu stood on the steps of the Jinluan Palace and looked down. The officials were dejected, as if they had suffered a defeat.

Xu Qiyan came out of the palace and nodded to the two.

Wang Shoufu also nodded and asked, "How is the collection of dragon energy?"

Xu Qiyan sighed, "The task is heavy and the road is long."

Wang Shoufu was silent for a moment, bowed deeply, and turned to leave.

"Lord Liu, let's find a place to drink?"

Xu Qiyan said with a smile, "I just have something to ask Lord Liu."

Liu Hong also laughed and rejected Xu Qiyan's proposal:

"Forget drinking. If you are impeached, you will lose a month's salary.

"Let's go to the night watchman's office. Let's have a chat with tea instead of wine."

.......

Haoqi Building, tea room on the seventh floor.

Xu Qi'an sat behind the desk, raised his glasses with Zhang Xingying and Liu Hong, and said jokingly:

"Congratulations to Mr. Zhang on his promotion. We'll listen to music in the brothel tonight. You'll treat us."

Liu Hong joked: "As Xu Yinluo, of course, he should choose to drink wine in the Jiaofangsi, not in the brothel."

Xu Qi'an shook his head: "Before Fuxiang died, I promised her that I would not go to the Jiaofangsi again."

Liu Hong and Zhang Xingying looked at each other and sighed.

They were not sighing for Fuxiang's tragic fate, but sighing for the changes in the world.

Zhang Xingying was particularly touched. He went to Yunzhou to investigate the case as a governor.

At that time, Xu Qi'an was just a small copper gong, at the peak of the Qi training realm, and on the way to the spirit training realm.

In just one year, Duke Wei died, Emperor Yuan Jing died, and the little bronze gong has now become a real big shot.

"I have something to trouble you, Lord Liu."

Xu Qian'an put down the teacup and said solemnly:

"You know I am collecting dragon energy. They are scattered all over the Central Plains. It is like looking for a needle in a haystack to collect them in a short time. Originally, it was the most labor-saving and effective for the government to come forward.

"But now the disaster situation is serious in various places. The government may find it difficult to do a good job of intelligence collection, and it is easy for hostile forces to pick peaches. I need a more covert and more effective intelligence organization to help. "

Liu Hong understood, "You want the night watchman's hidden chess?"

Seeing Xu Qian'an nod, Liu Hong shook his head solemnly:

"I didn't inherit the night watchman's hidden chess."

Xu Qian'an was stunned for a moment: "What? "

Liu Hong explained:

"After I took over the night watchman's office, I went to the case library to look for the files recording the layout of the hidden players in various places, but found that it had disappeared.

"The clerk in charge of guarding the case library told me that Duke Wei had taken it away before he went to war."

Xu Qian'an frowned: "Duke Wei, took away the files of those hidden players?"

Liu Hong nodded: "I thought he would entrust the night watchman's hidden players to you, but now it seems that Duke Wei has other plans."

Xu Qian'an tapped the table with his fingers and said slowly: "Who do you think Duke Wei entrusted it to?"

Liu Hong and Zhang Xingying looked at each other and shook their heads.

Xu Qiyan was a little disappointed. He frowned and thought for a long time, then said:

"I will leave the capital tomorrow. Sir Liu will continue to worry about the affairs of the Night Watchman's Office.

"Don't forget to write a memorial to tell Emperor Yongxing so that he doesn't have to worry that I, a warrior, will use the emperor to control the world."

Hearing this, Zhang Xingying and Liu Hong shook their heads and laughed.

For now, it is impossible for His Majesty to really let Xu Qiyan take charge of the Night Watchman's Office.

The most basic principle in the mind of an emperor is "balance". Xu Qiyan can suppress civil and military officials, but who can suppress Xu Qiyan?

Emperor Yongxing will never let such an existence that no one can check and balance hold real power, otherwise he will not even sleep well.

Xu Qiyan played the role of a tool man in this matter.

The main reason is that his current focus is not in the court or in the capital.

"If it goes as expected, there will be a small court meeting before lunch, and then the donation can be decided. "

"This is a good thing."

Xu Qian'an said.

This is a good thing, so he is willing to be a tool.

After chatting for a few words, Xu Qian'an stood up and said goodbye. He walked to the door of the tea room, stopped, and looked back at the tea room where the furnishings had not changed.

Suddenly, he remembered last winter, when he had just joined the night watchman and had just embraced Wei Yuan's thigh.

Every time he came here to see Wei Yuan, he felt very uneasy.

"I don't know where the face of the person has gone, but the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze... Let's have a few drinks with Chun Ge, Song Tingfeng, and Zhu Guangxiao. "

........

Just after the court meeting ended, the news that Xu Yinluo beat Duke Dingguo and angrily scolded the officials in the Jinluan Palace spread like wildfire in the officialdom of the capital.

It has been more than a month since Emperor Yuan Jing was beheaded.

During this period, Xu Yinluo has been very low-key and has never appeared in public. There are many rumors about him in the capital.

It is said in the market that Xu Yinluo was not tolerated by the court because he killed the tyrant and was forced to wander around.

Some people also said that he was seriously injured and dying in that earth-shaking battle, so he closed himself off to recover.

Not to mention the market, in fact, even in the officialdom, many officials of Beijing who are not of sufficient rank do not know the movements of Xu Yinluo.

Now he appeared again and did something that shocked the court and the public.

"Xu Yinluo finally came out. This official said that he is the conscience of Dafeng. If the officials do not donate, naturally someone will force them to donate."

"The cold disaster is serious in various places, and the people are living in dire straits. Xu Yinluo can't sit still. "

"As long as Xu Yinluo is here, Dafeng still has hope."

"Xu Yinluo has finally resumed his official position. I am very excited."

Once the news spread, the loyal and righteous people who supported the donation were very excited. They no longer had to worry about the attitudes of their colleagues or the anger of the public. They dared to express their positions openly.

Sure enough, before lunch, the cabinet announced that His Majesty had decided to call on all officials to donate money in three days, and no one would stop them.

......

Jingxiu Palace.

As lunch approached, Concubine Chen sat in the warm room and looked at the door frequently.

"Why hasn't Your Majesty come yet?"

The charming Concubine glanced at her daughter beside her and said, "I don't know if Xu Qian'an will come forward."

Lin'an subconsciously said, "Of course it will work. Everyone is afraid of him..."

Suddenly, she frowned and pretended to be indifferent: "What does his business have to do with me? I have already drawn a clear line with him." "

Concubine Chen looked at her for a moment, then looked away in surprise and continued to look at the door.

The news of the court meeting this morning had already spread, so it was natural that Concubine Chen could not hide it.

Concubine Chen was surprised and happy to learn that Xu Qiyan came forward to help. She knew very well that Xu Qiyan was the only one who could help Emperor Yongxing now.

The reason why he was willing to help was, in the final analysis, mostly for Lin'an... Concubine Chen retracted her gaze and turned to look at her daughter, with a hint of complexity in her eyes.

The figure of Emperor Yongxing appeared in the yard, strode across the yard and entered the house.

Concubine Chen had been waiting at the door for a long time. The first sentence she said when they met was an urgent question:

"How?"

Emperor Yongxing knew what she meant and smiled and said, "Three days later, I will personally call on all officials to donate money, and send court reports to each state to ask officials to donate money, and at the same time call on gentry to donate money and grain. "

A huge weight fell off Concubine Chen's heart, and she smiled brightly:

"Your Majesty, you must be hungry. The dishes are ready. I will ask the servants to bring them to you."

Holding Emperor Yongxing's hand, she sat down at the table, with a smile on her face:

"Your Majesty can finally rest assured for a while. I am also happy. This is all thanks to Xu Qian'an. Although I don't like him, I still have to accept his kindness."

Lin'an's round and bright oval face then showed a sweet smile.

Emperor Yongxing was in a very good mood and joked:

"I also have to accept Lin'an's kindness. If it weren't for Lin'an, I would definitely have a hard time now. I am a cowardly emperor."

"It has nothing to do with me." Lin'an immediately put away his smile and imitated Huaiqing's cold and indifferent demeanor.

Emperor Yongxing was amused and confused, and said, "What's wrong with His Highness Lin'an? "

"Nothing, just no connection with Xu Yinluo anymore, don't misunderstand me in the future, brother emperor, don't think that I have nothing to do with him." Lin'an maintained a cold expression.

Not to mention, her cold and ruthless attitude immediately turned a charming and passionate woman into a cold and sexy little queen.

Seeing that her daughter was in a bad mood, Concubine Chen hurriedly said: "Okay, let's eat first."

She secretly decided to ask her quietly after dinner.

........

Dexin Garden.

A study room with elegant furnishings, calligraphy and paintings, and porcelain and jade plates.

Huaiqing sat behind the desk, listened to the report of the chief guard, and nodded slightly:

"If he comes forward, there will be no problem with the donation."

The chief guard said with a little excitement: "Your Majesty handed over the night watchman's office to Xu Yinluo, Your Highness, you should have more contacts with Xu Yinluo. With your friendship with him, the night watchman will be yours sooner or later. "

Huaiqing frowned slightly when she heard this, and corrected in a cold tone:

"I don't have the same ideas as him, so we can't make plans together."

After saying that, she seemed unwilling to say more about him. She opened the book on her left hand, took out a list, and ordered:

"Send invitations to the adults on the list for me, and do it in a more covert way."

These are the officials she selected after observing this incident.

........

Xu Qian'an, who should have been the focus of everyone, was walking on the official road outside the capital with a small mare.

On the horse sat the princess of mediocre appearance, and her body swayed slightly as the mount walked.

Mu Nanzhi, who had been banished to the cold palace for many days, finally saw the light of day again.

"It's so uncomfortable, there is something in front of me that makes me uncomfortable... It's righteousness. "

The little white fox in her arms said tenderly.

Oh, Bai Ji also saw the light of day again.

"Nanzhi ah...."

Mu Nanzhi put his hands together, his tone was neither happy nor sad:

"Donor Xu, monks do not mention their names, and Taoists do not mention their lifespans. I have already entered the Buddhist world, and you can no longer call me by my past name."

Xu Qian'an corrected: "You should call yourself a poor nun."

What do you care!! Mu Nanzhi almost broke down, took a deep breath, and said lightly:

"Donor, please do as you please."

She looked like this after coming out of the pagoda.

She would put her hands together and chant a Buddhist name at any time to show that she had become a monk and had cut off all ties with a scumbag who stole his wife's best friend.

"Nanzhi, it's rare to go back to the capital, let's buy some more storybooks to take with you, and read them when you are bored on the journey. These storybooks are still the best in the capital. "Xu Qian'an suggested.

Mu Nanzhi chanted a Buddhist name: "I don't have that kind of worldly desire."

She learned quickly and changed her name.

"I don't have that kind of worldly desire."

Bai Ji echoed.

What sin have I committed? The fish pond has exploded, and every fish is in a state of wanting to break off all ties with me and draw a clear line... National Master, National Master, don't blame me for abusing you so much in the past few days and making you pose so many shameful postures. It's all retaliation... By the way, I have to sneak out of the capital before tomorrow, otherwise my life will be in danger!

After walking for a while, Qingyun Mountain was in sight.

He came to Yunlu Academy this time to find the dean Zhao Shou and ask the truth about why Wei Yuan was willing to die to seal the witch god.

By the way, he asked for a few pieces of paper recording the Confucian magic of "Words come out and laws follow".
