Chapter 210 The Deposed Emperor and the Trial
Listening to Emperor Yanshun's words, Wei Yi frowned, always feeling that what he said was not that simple.
According to the other party's opinion, this so-called Human Emperor should be a human god-like existence, a respected sage, or a hero who saves the world.
Only those who benefit all people, educate all people, care about the people of the world, are respected by people, and have the people's aspirations are qualified for the job.
But what the Heavenly Human Sect did today was not worthy of the position of Human Emperor.
Even if he forcibly seizes the destiny of the country and the dragon's veins, his virtue will not match his position. Just like a fatuous and incompetent prince who usurps the throne and becomes the emperor by luck, he will not be able to secure his position.
Therefore, Wei Yi felt that either the headmaster of the Tianren Sect had a misunderstanding.
Either he was lying, or the position of Human Emperor itself was a scam.
"How do I know whether what you said is true or false?" Wei Yi asked coldly.
"I'm not lying. I can swear to God that every word is true, and I have the token of Immortal Palace!" Emperor Yanshun waved his hand, and a token flew out from the ring on his thumb.
The thumb ring seems to be a magic weapon for storage.
"Look, this is the Immortal Palace token!" Emperor Yanshun presented the token to Wei Yi, "As long as you let me go, I can take you to the Immortal Palace." "This Immortal Palace is opened once every sixty years
. , the last time it was opened was thirty years ago, and it will be opened again thirty years later. You can enter with this token, but you can only go to the second hall. If you want to go deeper, you must have the National Fortune Dragon Vein. Okay." Emperor Yanshun continued.
Wei Yi took the token and looked at it carefully. It was indeed extraordinary. It exuded a strong aura and was crystal clear. It was vaguely visible that there was some kind of halo flowing inside it.
The token was beautifully carved, with two ancient and complicated characters in the center, which even Wei Yi did not recognize.
"How do you know that it takes national luck to enter the subsequent hall?" Wei Yi asked again.
"I got this token from a corpse. The senior must have reached the end of his life. The last words he left mentioned the rules of this fairy palace. The destiny of the country is added to the destiny of the person. He must have figured it out to be able to enter..." Emperor Yanshun explained the man's last words in detail.
It turned out that the leader of the Celestial Sect learned the location of the Immortal Palace and the method of entering it through the last words of the deceased.
But Wei Yi could see from this man's last words that what he really meant was that you can't enter this fairy palace only if you have the strength. It all depends on a person's destiny, that is, fate.
So in other words, this fairy palace is waiting for the arrival of the destined person.
This predestined person should have the destiny of the country, or in other words, great luck, and he is the person destined by destiny.
It's not that if you really become an emperor, gain national destiny, and have dragon veins, you can become the person to whom destiny belongs.
You will be able to obtain the final position of Human Emperor.
It's like saying that those who can become immortals must be people with extraordinary talents and extraordinary luck.
However, people with extraordinary talents and luck may not necessarily become immortals.
In fact, the road to immortality is equally illusory, and only a few people can eventually become immortals.
But those practitioners are also willing to believe that they are the lucky ones.
I will do everything I can and work hard to fight for opportunities, go higher, and become the ultimate winner.
So it's not that the leader of the Tianren Sect can't see the facts clearly, it's just that he wants to try even if there is even a glimmer of hope.
I also want to fight for it.
It's a pity that the fate of countless ordinary people may be changed by a strong man's thought.
In order to be able to become a person blessed with national destiny, in order to be able to change his fate against the will of heaven, he came up with such a bad idea.
Sometimes a war is a war for which hundreds of thousands of people pay the price with their lives.
Maybe it came from a very ridiculous idea of the ruler.
Wei Yi was thinking this, and suddenly felt that the token in his hand seemed to have received some kind of reaction, and it actually lit up.
At the same time, a spiritual thought poured into Wei Yi's mind and instantly turned into a lot of information.
It is about the location of the Immortal Palace, its name and related introduction.
Wei Yi raised his brows, a faint smile flashed across his lips, and he suddenly felt enlightened.
It seems that if this jade pendant meets someone who meets the requirements, it will automatically guide him there.
Today, the leader of the Tianren Sect still wants to use this as a condition to save his life. It can be seen that he has not been guided by this token. In other words, he has the token but has no qualifications at all.
It's really sad.
But Wei Yi didn't say anything immediately, and the headmaster of the Human Sect was kneeling on the ground that day, and he didn't notice the change that had just happened to the token in Wei Yi's hand.
Wei Yi put away the token and said seriously: "I can spare your life, but you have to do as I say!"
He was in no rush to kill the leader of the Tianren Sect.
This man's sins are so heinous that killing him would be his fulfillment.
Such people must be judged and let the world know about the sins of their Celestial Being religion.
Then let him know it clearly.
That night, Wei Yi asked Emperor Yanshun to confess the Celestial Being monks hidden throughout the palace and court, and summoned heroic spirits to begin a comprehensive cleanup.
These people are also different from those princes and ministers who sided with the Celestial Being Sect party for their own interests.
These Celestial Being monks who have entered the church and held great power are extremely harmful and must be eliminated completely.
Nie Cheng, the commander of the Forbidden Army, also led the army to quickly control the ministers of the Celestial Being Sect.
The next day, Emperor Yanshun issued an edict, revealing nearly 200 crimes committed by the Heavenly Man Sect, such as coercing the emperor to order the princes, disrupting the imperial court, harming Emperor Yanjing, and other crimes, as well as a conspiracy to seize the fate of the country and the dragon's veins.
At the same time, he also announced his decision to abdicate the throne to Shanxiong, the son of King Jin, and summoned all the princes and ministers to Beijing to meet the saint and participate in the abdication ceremony.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a sensation across the country.
Although many people have complained about the Tianren Sect, they know that they have brought chaos to the imperial court and made the Great Yan Dynasty a mess, making it difficult for the people to live.
But he didn't know that these guys had such a big conspiracy and had done so many heinous and unscrupulous things.
Even those princes and ministers who supported the Celestial Beings and acted as pawns of the Celestial Beings for the sake of their own rise to power and disputes over interests were still afraid.
They did not expect that the Celestial Being Sect would have such a big conspiracy. If their plan succeeded, they might not be able to survive the disaster and would eventually become sacrifices of the Celestial Being Sect.
The two adults in the court, the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Industry, were even more heartbroken and blamed themselves.
Especially the Minister of Rites, whose daughter married the son of the Minister of Industry, but was kidnapped on the wedding night and her whereabouts are still unknown.
But he didn't expect that it was actually the Celestial Being Sect who used his daughter as a sacrifice for practicing magic and died tragically in the Celestial Being Sect Taoist Temple.
Of course, for ordinary people, they are more shocked than happy.
News that the Celestial Being Sect was completely eradicated by Wei Yi has gradually spread.
People rushed to tell each other, and Emperor Yanshun's abdication also showed that the weather in the Great Yan Dynasty had finally cleared up.
Although I don't know whether the new emperor will be a wise emperor after he ascends the throne, but at least he will not be worse than before.
What's more, Wei Yi's existence has given countless people a sense of security.
The fact that he was able to get rid of the Tianren Sect and change the fate of the Great Yan Dynasty already demonstrated his strength.
Everything he did during this period also made people believe that as long as he protects the Great Yan Dynasty, the Great Yan Dynasty will be prosperous and peaceful, and will not experience the dark age of cholera in the Tianren Sect.
Therefore, in the hearts of many people, Wei Yi is the real hero, the real master of the Yan Dynasty, and the uncrowned king.
Some people have even begun to build a living shrine to Wei Yi and offer incense to increase his merits.
The members of the Tianxia Alliance also began to clean up the forces in the world that had supported the Tianren Sect.
The entire Great Yan Dynasty launched an unprecedented purge movement. From the ministers to the Jianghu sects, everyone was purged.
Although there are still some fish that have slipped through the net, they are no longer of any concern.
The eldest princess Shan Ruoshui, King Jin and his sons, Zhao Ziyun and Zhao Jinsi, as well as Marquis Ningyuan and Duke Zhongyong arrived in the capital one after another.
The freed King of Jingan, Zhao She, was finally reunited with Zhao Ziyun and Zhao Jinsi.
Zhao Jinsi could finally appear openly and openly in front of everyone. In the following days, the princes and nobles came to Beijing one after another, and the new emperor's enthronement ceremony was officially held. Emperor Yanshun confessed his crimes in front of the civil and military officials of the court and all the princes and nobles.
He re-narrated the crimes of the Celestial Beings, but he did not admit that he was the leader of the Celestial Beings, which was also instructed by Wei Yi.
After all, this truth is no longer important, and it is not easy for ordinary people to believe it.
On the contrary, his identity as Emperor Yanshun is more convincing.
Emperor Yanshun claimed that his virtue was not worthy of the throne and took the initiative to give up the throne to Shanxiong.
At this point, Shanxiong officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and announced the complete abolition of Tianren Sect, classifying it as a cult, and permanently cracking down and banning it.
That night, Shanxiong held a banquet in the palace for Wei Yi, Zhao She, Du Shaoling, Ye Qiu, as well as a group of heroes and the deputy leaders of the Tianxia Alliance.
After the dinner, Wei Yi came to the Heavenly Prison and met the imprisoned leader of the Heavenly Man Sect—Tian Fangzi.
The Taoist name of the leader of the Tianren Sect is Tianfang, and the name of the original owner of his current body - Shantianfang, was given by him originally.
Wei Yi was accompanied by Sha Chen and Du Shaoling.
This cell is specially designed to hold warriors and monks, and there are layers of restrictions inside.
Tian Fangzi's magic power has now been sealed, and all his magic weapons have been taken away by Wei Yi.
The whole person has no ability to resist at all.
Seeing Wei Yi's arrival, Tian Fangzi quickly bowed respectfully: "I have met Mr. Wei!"
He has now given up his dignity in exchange for his own life.
Therefore, you must be respectful and obedient, so that you can slowly gain Wei Yi's trust.
As long as you keep your life, everything is possible. When the fairy palace opens, you may be able to find a chance to escape.
However, what Fang Zi didn't know that day was that Wei Yi came here to "send him off".
"Shachen, do it. Killing him will be considered as revenge for your master and dead brothers!" Wei Yi looked at Shachen and said.
It was Tian Fangzi who coerced Emperor Yan Jing into abolishing the Xuanjing Division back then.
Therefore, the deaths of everyone in the Xuanjing Division were all caused by this person.
After hearing Wei Yi's words, Tian Fangzi's expression changed drastically, and he couldn't believe his ears.
What does Wei Yi mean? Does he want to kill himself?
"Wei, Mr. Wei, you can't kill me. If you kill me, you will never find the Immortal Palace again!" Tian Fangzi said quickly.
Wei Yi sneered and said immediately: "Let you understand clearly, this immortal palace is called the Human Emperor's Palace, and it is a relic left by the Human Emperor in ancient times. This token is indeed a pass to enter the Human Emperor's Palace. But if you are selected by the token and become a candidate for the Human Emperor Palace, the token will automatically give you relevant information, including the location of the Human Emperor Palace. So when
I got the token, I already knew the location and situation of the Human Emperor Palace. .
It's pity that you tried so hard, but you can't get the recognition of this token at all. You don't even know how to use this token, let alone what the fairy palace is. It's all based on a few last words from a corpse. !"
Wei Yi's words could be described as murderous and heartbreaking, making Tian Fangzi's pupils tremble and his brain buzzing.
"Impossible, you lied to me!" Tian Fangzi didn't want to believe this fact. He unanimously believed that he was favored by heaven and got such a great opportunity.
One feels that he must be the one destined to be.
It's just that I don't have enough strength yet, and I don't have the destiny of the country, so I can't enter the fairy palace yet.
So he didn't want to believe the truth.
Wei Yi shook his head and explained the location of the so-called Immortal Palace, but it made Tian Fangzi completely doubt his life.
I put all my effort into it, but in the end I ended up making a wedding dress for someone else.
Although he had exhausted all his agencies, he could not even obtain the qualifications, but Wei Yi easily became a candidate for the Immortal Palace.
No, he is a candidate for the Human Emperor Palace.
It's a pity that I don't even know the real name of this fairy palace.
Tian Fangzi sat on the ground with a dejected look on his face, his eyes dimmed.
He knew very well that he would definitely die today, even if he was not even qualified to negotiate with Wei Yi in the end.
Is this retribution?
"Shachen, do it!" Wei Yi looked at Shachen.
Shachen's eyes turned red, but there was hatred in his eyes.
Thinking back to his master and those brothers, Shachen wanted to cut Tian Fangzi into pieces with a thousand knives.
Wei Yi and Du Shaoling walked out of the prison, and Sha Chen also drew the sword from his waist.
With a pop, Tian Fangzi's body split into two halves.
In the following days, Shanxiong began to vigorously renovate the court and issued a series of rewards.
He is an emperor and a courtier.
After the Celestial Being cultivators in the court were eliminated, many important positions became vacant, and suitable personnel continued to take over.
Many important officials had previously aligned themselves with the Celestial Being Sect, so they needed to be eliminated and dismissed one after another, and replaced by more capable people.
Shanxiong made Du Shaoling prime minister, and Su Che was recalled to the capital to serve as Minister of Rites.
He also officially regarded Confucianism and Taoism as the way to sainthood and made it a required course for scholars. He established Confucianism and Taoism colleges across the country and promoted Confucianism and Taoism to govern the country.
A shrine to the saint was built for Wei Yi, which was admired and worshiped by thousands of people.
Wei Yi was also named an imperial master, a Confucian and Taoist saint, and a hereditary vassal king.
According to Wei Yi's request, the palace was also built in Qingzhou City.
The system implemented by the Dayan Dynasty was to enfeoff the land but not the land, to rank nobles but not to visit the people, to live in salary but not to manage affairs.
This means enfeoffing titles but not granting land, granting titles but not managing the people, enjoying salaries but not handling affairs.
In other words, the vassal kings of the Dayan Dynasty actually did not have fiefdoms, just like the Prince's Palace of Jing'an, although the Palace was located in Qingzhou City.
But the governance of the entire Qingzhou City is not under the management of the royal palace.
Instead, it is managed by government departments such as prefecture and county governments.
Although the government officials will respect the palace and give them face, they do not directly take orders from the palace.
The Zhao family is a martial arts family, after the generals, so the children of the family will lead troops in wars and have certain military power.
Even if you don't inherit the title of king, you can only rely on military merit to earn your future identity and status.
If all the family members do not go to the battlefield or lead troops to fight, then in the end they will only have the title of king and nobility, and may not have any rights in the court or in the army.
There were many such nobles in the Great Yan Dynasty, but they only had the status of nobles and actually had no rights.
The same is true for Wei Yi, the king of Ding. He has status but no rights, and enjoys a salary but no fiefdom.
Wei Yi didn't mind this. He accepted the canonization, on the one hand because it was what he deserved, and on the other hand, it was also for the benefit of his uncles and aunts.
Let them also enjoy the benefits of noble status.
Not only that, Shanxiong, with the assistance of Du Shaoling and others, began to launch a series of reform policies.
Reduce corvee taxes, promote education and agriculture, improve the social status of craftsmen and farmers, etc., to restore national strength and people's livelihood.
With the admiration and support of the imperial court, Confucianism and Taoism rose rapidly in the Yan Dynasty, and the status of scholars also rose.
