I, make my own

Chapter 42 The Righteous Giant, the World-Shocking Bet

It's night, the imperial palace, the Tai Chi Hall.

"Your Majesty, King Wuling has infiltrated into the imperial capital, and has met with his ministers secretly. He intends to serve His Majesty and offer all the land and property of the feudal clan to him!"

"In addition, he is also planning to break into the thieves and act as your majesty's internal support!"

Zhu Gaoyang reported the report very quickly, and the excitement in his eyes could not be concealed.

The majestic feudal lord is willing to voluntarily abandon everything to serve His Majesty, which shows the effectiveness of the Tweet Order, and also shows the majesty of His Majesty's prestige!

Furthermore, with the supplementary troops and resources from the Wuling vassal land, their power will grow even stronger.

"He's really a smart guy."

Zhou Xin smiled, his eyes full of approval.

Zhu Gaoyang couldn't help being taken aback, His Majesty doesn't seem very surprised?Did His Majesty expect it?

"Tell King Wuling that I am very pleased with his choice. As long as he makes achievements, I will definitely not let him down!"

"In addition, to ensure its safety, members of the Jing'an Department are not allowed to contact it, just in case. You hand it to him with the token of Huangquan Pavilion, and someone with this order will contact him in the future."

As Zhou Xin said, a simple token with the pattern of Huangquan popped up.

"only!"

Zhu Gaoyang accepted the order respectfully, after receiving the token, he made another sound.

"Your Majesty, the "Yanjia Qilin Body Secret Essentials" has been completed, and the five mechanism masters are working together to understand it. It is estimated that they will become Yanjia masters within a few days!"

"good!"

Zhou Xin nodded in satisfaction, "Then express the required materials as soon as possible, and I will issue an imperial edict so that you can quickly pick them up from the treasury of the Ministry of Industry."

"In addition, the selection of Yanjiashi's apprentices must be carried out quickly to lay the foundation for the expansion of Yanjiashi."

"only!"

……

The next day.

Violet Palace.

"Xuan, Xie Changfeng, the patriarch of Shangfazong, enters the palace to have an audience~"

Following the sound of a thin and long singing, a figure stepped into the hall without haste.

This person is of medium stature, with good facial features, elegant and upright, with fluttering sleeves and a faint smile, as he walks forward, he has an extraordinary demeanor that makes people feel like a spring breeze.

"Xie Changfeng, the 20th suzerain of Shangfazong No.[-], has met His Majesty."

Xie Changfeng stood still in the hall without looking sideways, put up his fingers and bowed his head slightly, saluting loudly.

Although all the officials in the hall were looking straight ahead, they were all looking at Xie Changfeng from the corner of their eyes.

As the suzerain of Shang Fazong, the leader of the righteous way in the Great Zhou Jianghu, Xie Changfeng has a great reputation, and he has many names.

For example, Le Shan Hao Shi Xie everyone, Anxious Gong Hao Yi Zhen Changfeng, Justice Libra Xie Sovereign, and Jing Hong Jian Zun and so on.

Although many of these names are exaggerated and even run counter to the facts, Shang Fazong controls the right to speak in the righteous way of the world. Even if there are objections, they will only be slandered and maliciously slandered, and then suppressed to disappear.

However, just judging from Xie Changfeng's demeanor, he really looks like a gentle and benevolent man of virtue.

Just as the officials were thinking secretly, Zhou Xin spoke coldly on the dragon chair.

"Xie Changfeng, are you convicted?"

"Your Majesty has indeed made a mistake, so I have come here to face you by His Majesty's edict."

Xie Changfeng had a look of shame on his face, and replied seriously.

"fault?"

Bai Wenbin, Minister of Dali Temple, sneered and stepped out to fight.

"Sect Master Xie has a good tongue. He instigated the disciples of the sect to participate in the heinous crime of treason. How could he flirtatiously use a sentence of negligence to expose it? Oh, how can there be such a good thing in the world?!"

Xie Changfeng straightened his expression and turned to look at Bai Wenbin.

"This lord misunderstood. After I learned of the shocking changes in the imperial capital that night, I immediately launched an investigation."

"Finally, I learned that there were indeed some people involved in my Shang Fazong. But they were all abandoned disciples of my sect, or even traitors. They had been expelled from the sect and removed from the sect roster long before that night."

"These are all well-documented. I came to face the saint this time, and I also brought a set of evidence, which I handed over to the Ministry of Punishment before."

Having said that, Xie Changfeng paused slightly, then turned to Zhou Xin again, and apologized.

"However, although they have nothing to do with my Shang Fazong, after all, they have come out of my Shang Fazong, which shows that there are still some omissions in my Shang Fazong's selection and teaching of disciples."

"I came to face the saint this time, first to express my apology to His Majesty, and second, to submit the detailed documents of those abandoned disciples to the imperial court, and cooperate with the imperial court to arrest them as soon as possible and plead guilty to the law!"

"Xie Changfeng, you don't want to be so eloquent and deceive the saints! Your so-called evidence is obviously prepared in advance to prevent the failure of the incident. How can you win the trust?"

Bai Wenbin sneered again and again, and did not shy away from exposing it.

"My lord, you can't intentionally set things up. My Shang Fazong has always been law-abiding, and the whole world knows this."

Xie Changfeng frowned, looking unhappy.

"Of course, I also firmly believe that Your Majesty is an enlightened ruler, and will not dispose of my Shang Fazong without grounds, and firmly believe that the imperial court will not destroy the legal system!"

"you!"

Bai Wenbin's face darkened, pointing at Xie Changfeng and wanting to say something else.

At this moment, Zhou Xin finally spoke.

"okay."

Bai Wenbin hurriedly shut up, bowed respectfully and then retreated.

"Xie Changfeng, Shang Fazong is the leader of the Righteous Way, and he cultivated knights who should be able to benefit the country and the people, but there are so many chaotic officials and thieves, how can this be justified?"

Hearing Zhou Xin's cold snort, Xie Changfeng looked serious and bowed his head.

"What your Majesty said is very true. This matter is indeed my fault and Shang Fazong's fault. I, Shang Fazong, am willing to pay a certain price to make up for the fault. I just don't know, how can I make Your Majesty calm down?"

"I am very relieved that you can have such an attitude."

Zhou Xin's expression eased, and he nodded in satisfaction.

"Shang Fazong really needs to explain this matter to me and to the people of the world. Otherwise, it will not be justified."

"However, Shang Fazong has also made a lot of contributions to the stability of Dazhou's Jianghu. If he is directly punished, I will not bear it."

Hearing this, not only the courtiers were a little confused, but Xie Changfeng himself was also a little confused.

What does the emperor want to do?
win over yourself?

Shouldn't be possible?

Xie Changfeng was thinking to himself, and at the same time he was careful, for fear that the emperor was holding back some hurtful moves.

"Thank you for your majesty's concern. I don't know, what does your majesty mean?"

Following Xie Changfeng's cautious inquiry, all the courtiers also held their breath and looked at Zhou Xin.

"Well, as a show of favor, this matter will be settled with a bet."

Xie Changfeng became vigilant, but his face remained calm and said: "Please make it clear, Your Majesty."

"I heard that Sect Master Xie Dao Wushuang is recognized as No. 1 in the Dao of the Great Zhou Jianghu, and he also has the name of Master Sword Master."

"As for Sect Master Xie's demeanor, I also want to see it with my own eyes."

"However, I don't have a few strong men who can fight. If you want to see it, you can only ask Commander Cheng of the Imperial Army to fight against Sect Master Xie."

Hearing this, everyone was a little dazed.

According to this, His Majesty wants Cheng Long and Xie Changfeng to fight each other?
But Xie Changfeng is a Ninth-Rank powerhouse who has been famous for a long time, and it is very likely that he is already in the late Ninth-Rank at this time, not to mention that the opponent's swordsmanship is outstanding, coercing the entire world.

Although Cheng Long is also well-known, but he is only a mid-level Ninth-Rank strongman, his cultivation base is quite inferior, and he does not have a superb swordsmanship or swordsmanship talent.

Overall, Cheng Long has little chance of winning.

Xie Changfeng took a quick glance at Cheng Long, and saw that the latter showed a look of astonishment. Obviously, he never thought of this, at least the other party didn't know about it before.

So, what exactly is going on here?What was the young emperor planning?
He has absolute confidence in his own strength, but the strange encounter made him have to be cautious.

With a lot of thoughts in his heart, Xie Changfeng pursed his lips and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty wants to bet on the outcome of the two of us?"

"good."

Zhou Xin nodded slightly, with a calm expression.

"I don't know, what is the specific bet?"

"It's also simple. If you lose, Shang Fazong will be completely removed from the name, and the disciples of the sect will be selected to be selected into the Jing'an Department of the imperial court, Dali Temple and other departments, and all Shang Fazong's property will be taken back to the court! Rebellion, Manzong will be punished!"

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the hall, and Xie Changfeng's face changed even more, he was both shocked and angry.

Even Prime Minister Lin Zhengqing, who had been sitting on the Diaoyutai all the time, could not help but widen his eyes, and a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

However, before Xie Changfeng could say anything, Zhou Xin's next words came out again, and his tone suddenly became much higher.

"If you win, Shang Fazong will become my Great Zhou State Sect and be worshiped by all people! Xie Sect Master will also become my Great Zhou State Teacher, under one person, above ten thousand people!"

After listening to the last paragraph, the whole court hall screamed in an instant, and no one could keep calm anymore.

"Your Majesty! This is absolutely impossible!"

"Your Majesty, the forces of Jianghu must never step into the court!"

"Your Majesty! The Emperor must never be established! Please change the bet!"

"I beg Your Majesty to change the bet!"

……

All of a sudden, there were voices of dissuasion and noise, and most of the courtiers were anxious.

Among them, not only the orthodox faction, but also the officials of the three kings, and even some individuals from the prime minister's line.

The existence of the state sect and state religion may also have benefits, but the disadvantages are even greater. Once established, it will inevitably cause endless harm!

At this time, Xie Changfeng was still a little dazed, but it was no longer because of surprise, but because of disbelief, trembling, and excitement!
Guozong, that is the highest pursuit of every Dazong!

However, everyone knows that it is difficult. Although he has imagined it, he never thought of putting it into practice.

Because he knew that it was impossible, even if he managed to ascend to the throne with the support of King Wei, it would definitely be impossible.

But who would have thought that today would usher in such a big surprise?

What the hell does this happen?

Could it be that this young emperor is a person who likes to go to extremes?
Or, did the emperor really want to win over Shang Fazong for his use?
"Is it true what His Majesty said?"

After a long while, Xie Changfeng suppressed his trembling emotions and asked the question, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, for fear that it was just a joke.

"You have no jokes!"

Zhou Xin ignored the dissuasion of the officials, but nodded towards Xie Changfeng with a chuckle.

"Sect Master Xie can also rest assured that this matter will be announced to the world, and it will be witnessed by everyone. I will not break my promise."

"As for the time and place, it will be ten days later, at the top of Yueyang. At that time, I will go to watch the battle in person!"

"How, can you accept this bet?"
