Journey to the West from Daqin

Fu Su doubted: "No, father is not an unreasonable person, and he also needs Taishan Gong."

Li Jue said: "If you don't invite the gods, the king still needs Taishan Gong? Moreover, the king has been waiting for this for a long time. All civil and military officials, as well as the nobles of the six countries are here. If you don't invite the gods, the crime of Taishan Duke is worse than mine. Sudden death at night is even more serious!"

This statement is true.

When Fusu heard this, he was indeed in a cold sweat.

Surprised: "Then I will immediately stop this ceremony of inviting immortals? It's just, just..."

He blushed with anxiety, not knowing what to do.

Li Jue said: "It's too late, the only thing you can do when the time comes is to ignore it."

Fu Su said: "But, I can't do it."

Li Jue sighed, if Fusu could really ignore him, it might not be Fusu anymore.

However, at best, Fusu would be punished, put in confinement, or sent to the frontier, so he would not be abolished.

He just didn't want Fusu to be considered cowardly by Yingzheng because of this, and it would be wrong to go against Yingzheng.

Just now.

Li Jue said quietly: "The auspicious time has come."

Fusu's body trembled, and he really heard the eunuch shout loudly, "The auspicious time has come, please come down."

Ying Zhengdu walked down the high platform himself, stood under the Xiantai platform, and watched Kong Jie dance seriously.

As for the others, including Fusu, they all knelt on the ground, and the banquet was withdrawn.

Li Jue didn't know how long this farce would last. He secretly hid a leg of lamb in his sleeve, and when he was prostrate on the ground, he secretly ate a bite.

Fusu has already returned to the back of Yingzheng, kneeling with the other princes, but he is a little anxious in his heart.

It's fine if Li Jue doesn't say anything, but he just told him that it's not so easy to invite gods, and he also felt that this time might end in a farce.

He couldn't even imagine how his father would be furious.

then.

The auspicious time has passed, and the gods have not come.

Even, apart from the darkening of the sky and the approaching night, the weather has not changed in any way.

Not even a gust of wind.

A mountain is still a mountain, water is still water, the court is still the court, and people are still the people.

Everyone looked up, puzzled.

Ying Zheng's face gradually became expressionless.

Taishan Gong Kong Jie's face gradually became serious, he was still dancing the Great God, and he was still singing Confucian classics.

but.

The auspicious time has passed, and there is still no change.

Kong Jie was even tired from dancing, so he stopped and knelt on the ground, begging God for countless times in his heart.

"Old Ancestor of Heaven, please show up the gods quickly!"

"If you don't come, Confucianism will be over!"

Chapter 210 Nine Immortals Don’t Come, Ying Zheng Convicts Confucianism

however.

God seems to have abandoned Confucianism, or it may not have heard the cry of the giant Kong Jie.

Until the time of Haishi, when the willows were on the moon and hoarfrost was falling from the sky, it was approaching the night of New Year's Eve, but there were still no miracles happening.

Everyone was freezing in the heavy snow, and many officials were already shivering from the cold, but they still didn't dare to leave, or even make a sound.

because.

They felt that Ying Zheng, who was wrapped in a long jacket, was like a flame that was about to burn everything.

Fusu also knelt on the ground. The heavy snow made his face flushed, but it still made him feel cold and sweaty.

because.

It was so still.

He understood Ying Zheng, the quieter he was, the greater the anger in his heart.

Ying Zheng must have felt that he had been cheated. It wasn't that immortals didn't favor him, but that Kong Jie was useless.

really.

Waited another moment.

Ying Zheng said: "Okay, let's all get up, no need to kneel."

But no one dared to stand up, everyone was trembling, even the unconvinced remnants of the Six Kingdoms were afraid of Ying Zheng's majesty.

Li Jue was lying on the ground, still chewing on the mutton. It was a cold day, so he just had something to eat to relieve his boredom.

"The widow told you to get up, didn't you hear me!?"

Ying Zheng suddenly yelled loudly, causing everyone to tremble in fright, calling out that they deserve death.

However, no one dared to stand up, but Li Jue stood up first, and immediately became the target of public criticism.

Everyone secretly looked at him, thinking that he really wanted to die.

Standing up at such a time, don't you know that Ying Zheng is in a fit of anger, and standing up is a doormat!

really.

When Ying Zheng saw Li Jue get up, he glanced at him, and was about to rant about it.

As a result, Li Jue took the lead and said: "The minister is grateful to the king for his compassion, the great kindness is all over the world, and the virtue is in Kyushu."

After a lot of rainbow farts, Ying Zheng couldn't talk about him, after all, he was the one who made people get up.

Moreover, Li Jue's rainbow fart made him feel a little comfortable, but at this time he was angry, obviously he couldn't let Li Jue off easily.

He said expressionlessly: "All the ministers are still kneeling, why did you get up!?"

As expected, all the ministers are secretive and dangerous. Fortunately, they know how to be an official, otherwise today will be cold.

Zhao Gao and the others even secretly rejoiced, thinking that Li Jue was looking for death, let's see how he survived tonight.

Fusu was worried about Li Jue, and was thinking of pleading for him.

Li Jue clasped his fists together and said, "Your Majesty asked all the ministers to stand up, but I dare not stand up. The first time I refuse is to give way, the second time I refuse is to deceive the emperor, and it is a crime of resisting and not obeying the order. Although the minister is bold , but he doesn’t have the guts to bully the king.”

Hearing this, Ying Zheng was taken aback for a moment.

The officials were startled when they heard the words, and got up one after another, but they still knelt in the snow and dared not stand up.

But they blamed Li Jue, because Li Jue murdered and punished his heart, which meant that the officials had committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, and they refused to obey the order.

Ying Zheng shouted: "Okay, what he said is right, you are not as good as a little seventh-rank official!"

The ministers pleaded guilty, kowtowed three times, and stood up one after another.

All of them lowered their heads, acting like turtles.

Ying Zheng was obviously still angry at this time, and said, "Li Jue, tell me, why didn't the gods come today!?"

thump!

Kong Jie, who was on the Xiantai, immediately knelt down, terrified, and called out guilty.

Among the officials, the Confucianists also came out one after another, knelt on the ground, and shouted damn.

Li Jue said: "Your Majesty, I don't know, the minister is just an executioner."

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, he really couldn't blame Li Jue.

but.

He just wanted to make use of the topic, and said: "Because, Lord Taishan has no ability to invite immortals here. He is just a person who has gained a false name and deceived the world!"

Having said that, he pointed to Kong Jie who was kneeling on the stage, his eyes were stern and his aura was overwhelming.

Kong Jie was so frightened that he quickly kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, I don't have any, no, no..."

He wanted to make an excuse, but he hesitated for a long time and couldn't say anything. At this moment, his faith was about to collapse.

Ying Zheng sternly shouted: "Don't quibble, the widow's birthday has not been celebrated so long in advance, let you invite a fairy, two months in advance, you just do things like this!?"

Fu Su knew that if he didn't speak again, Ying Zheng's next words would be to kill Kong Jie.

He hurriedly said: "Father, maybe the immortals don't care about these vulgar rituals. If they are sincere, they can make the immortals come down even if they are simple tea and light food on the copybook. won't come either."

He picked up people's teeth and told Li Jue what he meant.

as predicted.

Ying Zheng's anger dissipated a bit, he was unwilling to admit that he was not sincere, and he always believed that there are immortals in the world.

Otherwise, how could Gong Gong concoct such an amazing panacea, or how to explain those thunderstorms and strong winds that turned dragons back?

These things are made by gods!

Ying Zheng said: "You are right, but Kong Jie's failure to invite the gods is also a serious crime. He didn't do a good job."

Fusu still wanted to speak, but Yingzheng shouted, "Kneel down."

Fu Su immediately knelt down, not daring to say anything.

Seeing this, Zhao Gao who was at the side was overjoyed immediately, and exchanged glances with Hu Hai, both of them were secretly delighted.

Can't wait to see Fusu fall out of favor.

Ying Zheng snorted and said, "Kong Jie's crime is that he gave me great hope and let me down. There are immortals in the world, but he couldn't invite them, but he wasted my time and energy and made Daqin a laughing stock. It is inevitable."

He couldn't even imagine how many people Da Qin would laugh at when today's incident spread.

Therefore, he said: "Kong Jie's crimes cannot be pardoned. Let Kong Jie be resigned as the Duke of Taishan, remove all his positions, put him in prison, and be executed tomorrow in autumn."

Kong Jie had a bitter look on his face. This was tantamount to knocking him from the clouds into the abyss, and it would be better to kill him.
