There were endless candles burning in Fengying Hall, and the atmosphere above the hall was solemn and solemn.In addition to the core members of the royal family, all the military and political figures who were invited to participate in the audience were present.

The hall was full of people, but needles could be heard quietly all around.Everyone minimized their sense of existence, for fear of disturbing the eternally sleeping heroic spirits in the palace.

In the history of Dasheng, there have been several emperors who have lived through the ages. They burned the ointment and continued to work hard, creating generation after generation of brilliance.This is one of the reasons why the Dasheng royal family is loved by its subjects so far.

The empress sat on the dragon chair in the north of the main hall, facing the spirit cards of successive emperors of the Rong family.These tablets are like strands of spirits standing in the temple, witnessing everything that is about to happen.

There are six thrones on the left and right of the dragon chair, and the positions of the twelve imperial secretaries are located on both sides of the queen.The high platform is ten feet high, with white jade and golden steps, and thirteen thrones carved with dragons and painted phoenixes are lined up in sequence, occupying the entire north side of the hall.

Everyone under this coercion will unconsciously surrender to the supreme might of heaven in front of them.

However, as the queen got older, she became more and more dependent on familiar things around her. On such a serious occasion today, she never forgot to bring her dragon fish with her.

Sitting on the east and west sides of the main hall are the nobles of the royal family and important officials of the government. If you look closely, you can see that the power core of the entire country is here today.

However, there were two exceptions. The Queen's gaze swept across everyone's face calmly.The position belonging to Dr. Zhengfeng is still vacant until now. The boss had a cardiovascular disease three days ago, unfortunately he was hospitalized due to a stroke, and the doctor has issued several critical illness notices.Due to the suddenness of the incident, he could only be absent from today's Fengyingdian trial.

Needless to say, this is naturally written by the queen.

And Rong Zheng—the empress looked at the prince's seat again. The East Palace came to report early in the morning that the prince had a sudden illness and could not attend today's meeting.

Calculating the time, Zhong Yu should be here. Just as the empress thought about it, a loud bell rang, the palace door was slowly pushed open, and a red figure appeared outside the hall.

Ye Zhaoling glanced at the scene in the hall, and couldn't help but chuckle, thinking that the empress had made up her mind to do something big this time.

Zhong Yu's laugh made everyone in the hall instantly vigilant.Zhong Yu's origin is only known to a few people, not everyone knows his true details.But the national teachers and students are violent and eccentric, it is impossible to subdue the law so easily, I am afraid they are planning some tricks again.

However, after entering the palace, the national teacher did not do anything special.The door of the palace closed behind him, isolating all irrelevant people out of the door.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhong Yu dragged his blood-red clothes and stepped onto the questioning platform in the center of the hall.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the Asking Heart Terrace is just a small high platform made of black gold stone, and it cost a lot of money to burn it, but it is nothing special in the eyes of the people who come out of these splendid piles.

But from Ye Zhaoling's eyes, he could see a huge golden magic circle spread out on the table.

This thing Ye Zhaoling is very familiar with. It is the magic circle used by the monarchs of all dynasties to make blood oaths with him. It was drawn by Rong Jiuge himself.The empress chose Fengying Hall as the location of the trial, just to play the last role of the blood oath.

Zhong Yu stepped into it, and the red gold bones with little physical strength immediately began to twitch, and the empress's little thought had already come to the fore.

Ye Zhaoling stepped on it without hesitation.He looked up at the queen on the eye seat, and both of them had smiles that knew each other well.

A gilded pagoda inlaid with turquoise agate was placed in front of the ancestral tablet, and Ye Zhaoling knew that it was prepared for him.He put his hands behind his back and walked around the table like a gardener.

The national teacher in front of him was still the same national teacher, full of evil spirits everywhere, no one raised any objection to his attitude, as if he was still respected by Beidou, one person below ten thousand above ten thousand.

"Everyone is here." Zhong Yu looked around the crowd, returned to the center of the stage, and said unhurriedly: "Then let's start."

Xiao Zongbo is in charge of the gods of the country. Today's trial conference held in Fengying Hall has a bit of religious color, and it should be presided over by him according to the usual practice.

After Zhong Yu's reminder, Xiao Zong Bo came back to his senses from the tense atmosphere created by the national teacher, and remembered his responsibilities.He hastily knocked on the golden lacquer painting handle by his side, and said in a loud voice: "Get up—"

In an instant, the bells and drums in the hall rang together, and the solemn and solemn music sounded.Amidst the melodious and long chime chimes, time seems to have flowed back to the most prosperous era of this dynasty.

After the last call, Uncle Zong unfolded a bright yellow scroll and began to recite Zhong Yu's crimes aloud.

Prince Rui was also in the hall today, and like him, many people in the hall only knew that Zhong Yu had stumbled this time, and did not fully understand what he did.He hadn't finished reading a crime book, and the more he listened to it, the more frightened he felt. If these things were investigated thoroughly, how many people would be uprooted.

He sneaked a look around, and found that the faces of the clan members were really different and harboring evil intentions.

But Zhong Yu himself was much more indifferent. He stood on the stage and listened quietly, as if what he was listing at this moment was not his crime.When it came to the key points, he even nodded in agreement, showing no sign of repentance.

After reading the book of crimes, a young man beside him who attended for his father asked in a low voice, "My lord, do you believe that these things were done by the national teacher?"

Prince Rui shook his head, but did not answer.This child is the young master of Dingbei Hou's family. He is a fledgling and has not been deeply involved in the world. The current situation is no longer a question of whether to believe it or not.

Xiao Zongbo saw the crowd whispering and whispering in the audience, he cleared his throat quickly, and said loudly: "Silence." After finishing speaking, he turned to look at Zhong Yu: "Zhong Yu, you are vain of the laws of nature, harming the virtuous and harming the country, can you plead guilty? "

Ye Zhaoling didn't hesitate, and simply said, "I do."

Uncle Zong then asked: "If you are sentenced to death today and you will fall into hell forever without reincarnation, will you regret it?"

Ye Zhaoling chuckled and said, "I don't regret it."

Ye Zhaoling doesn't believe in reincarnation, and doesn't pin his hopes on reincarnation. He already knows what it's like to be alive, and he doesn't plan to come again.

Uncle Zong was slightly taken aback, he had thought that today would be a tough battle, but Zhong Yu's attitude of pleading guilty was so quick and straightforward, which he did not expect.

Xiao Zongbo continued to ask: "Before the judgment, do you have anything to say?"

"That's one thing." Ye Zhaoling turned to face the high platform, winked playfully at the Queen, and said, "I want to be worthy of the Imperial Temple after I die, and I hope Your Majesty will grant my wish."

Ye Zhaoling's words made everyone present gasp, and immediately stirred up waves.It can be said that it is the highest honor bestowed by the emperor on a courtier. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, few meritorious officials have had this honor.How dare Zhong Yu, a treacherous minister who harmed the country and the people, make such a request!

Someone in the clan immediately jumped out and retorted: "Absurd! The Taimiao enshrines famous ministers who have made great contributions to the country. How can you allow such a treacherous person to get involved!"

Ye Zhaoling gave that person a look, and said calmly: "However, I am also a person who has dedicated my whole life to the Dasheng Dynasty. I don’t dare to say it because of the greatness, but at least I can afford the four words ‘loyalty’, right?”

Master Murong, who was one of the envoys, saw Zhong Yu's outrageous words, so he couldn't bear to stop him: "Zhong Yu! Stop talking nonsense!"

Ye Zhaoling glanced at that person, and said with a smile: "Lord Murong, that's not what you said when you brought him to kneel in front of me when you caused your son to escape in an accident and caused three deaths and two injuries." He said while looking at the stage. Another bearded and staring old man teased, "Master Zhao, the competition for that piece of land in the Central Plains Business District was really fierce back then. How did your development company get it? Do you still remember?"

Ye Zhaoling exposed the scandals they had done before, and they lost their air in an instant like a tire with a plucked core.

"There is one thing that many of you here know very well, but none of you dare to say it." After speaking, Ye Zhaoling turned around and looked at the queen on the dragon chair with crooked eyes: "An unforgivable person is never a sinner." I, but the person behind me. A knife can kill, but it can also save people. Unfortunately, this knife of mine has been in the hands of villains from beginning to end."

Under Zhong Yu's gaze, the queen was as motionless as a mountain.From the beginning to the end, she understood that Zhong Yu didn't like this small imperial temple, he just wanted to say this in public.

"I did the evil, and I killed the people. You are all aristocrats, so naturally you won't be stained with any blood." Ye Zhaoling looked at the countless tablets in the candlelight, his eyes became deep and distant: "But you are all thread-handlers, and the wealth, honor and power you enjoy are all piled up with blood."

"But are you willing to part with it?" Saying that, Ye Zhaoling withdrew his gaze and looked at the people in the auditorium.Wherever he looked, everyone avoided his gaze with a guilty conscience.

The young master of the Dingbei Hou's family was young and energetic. Seeing Zhong Yu humiliating his most respected uncle and elder, and slandering the royal family with red lips and white teeth, he immediately became furious, stood up and shouted loudly: "Zhong Yu, you This shady thing! Don't deceive the public and tarnish the saints here! If you have the ability, don't hide your head and show your tail, let us see how noble you are..."

Before the young master could finish his words, he was pushed back to his seat by the people sent by Pearl, but Ye Zhaoling heard these words verbatim.

"I can't see the light?" Ye Zhaoling looked at the young man who spoke, and didn't seem to feel offended. This kid is just a stunned young man who doesn't know the depth of the world.

He sighed softly, and said as if he was talking to himself: "Yeah, I have something to hide. Now, why should I cover it up for you?"

Zhong Yu said this very softly, but every word clearly fell into the Queen's ears.The Queen's heart skipped a beat, and she instantly realized that something was wrong.

She shouted loudly: "How can you be wild in front of your ancestors, take him down immediately!"

When the queen gave an order, the secret agents in the hall immediately rushed to the stage.But it was too late, Zhong Yu raised his long sleeves, brushed off the mask on his face, and threw it on the ground with his backhand.

There was a crisp "click", and the sound of the mask falling to the ground was like a pause button, and everything in the hall came to a standstill.There was no sound above the main hall, and the panic was not enough to describe the shock in everyone's hearts at this moment.A small team of special agents rushed to the stage and suddenly saw this scene, and took two steps back.

For more than 30 years, countless people have wondered what kind of face is hidden under the mask of the national teacher. Today, they finally got a glimpse of the secret, but they were shocked and could not say a word.

The daunting national teacher actually has a face exactly like that of Jingnan Hou.This face is only about 20 years old, so young, so fresh, as if growing up surrounded by pearls and jade, and has never experienced human suffering.

Fengying Hall faces north and south, with no windows on all sides, and no sunlight all year round.Ye Zhaoling raised his head, as if he was feeling the sunshine that did not exist above his head.

"I've been wearing this mask for too long." Ye Zhaoling closed his eyes slightly and said.

The eleven envoys on the stage who knew Zhong Yu's details exchanged glances with each other. They didn't expect that Zhong Yu would dare to reveal his identity in public, and the following scene might be out of control.

Prince Rui and Ye Zhaoling have a very close friendship, and at this moment, he was so shocked that he couldn't say a complete sentence: "You..."

"Yes, it's me, are you all surprised?" Ye Zhaoling opened his eyes, and walked to the edge of the questioning platform: "500 years ago, I was the one who went to my mother to help the young Emperor Wu ascend the throne. 300 years ago, I was ordered to secretly kill Sheng I belonged to the two hundred and twenty-three members of the Li family in Beijing, and I was the one who concocted the Luohe tragedy for Wenzong 200 years ago and sank three thousand officials from the court into the Luoshui River."

"In the 15th year of Emperor Zhongzong's reign, an epidemic broke out across the country. The 'peace the epidemic and calm the people' recorded in the history books did not exist. At that time, Emperor Zhongzong ordered that the sick people from all over the country be gathered in the suburbs and buried on the spot."

"General Zhao Liqin, the anti-Japanese hero, did not die in battle, but was ordered to be beheaded in front of the palace by the Ming emperor because of his great achievements."

"Today, you people with vested interests gathered here to judge me with dignity." Having said that, Ye Zhaoling turned his head and smiled softly: "Also worthy?"

It was too late to say it, but Ye Zhaoling suddenly turned around and swung a palm. The moment the palm wind hit, the memorial tablet on the altar burst into flames.

In an instant, hundreds of tablets enshrined day and night in Fengying Hall were surrounded by raging fire.

Before everyone recovered from Ye Zhaoling's shocking words, Zhong Yu staged the burning of Fengying Hall.The hall became a mess in an instant, and these Tian Huang nobles didn't care about maintaining their keel and phoenix posture at the moment, they stood up and ran out of the hall like headless flies.

Ye Zhaoling stood where he was, watching everything that happened in front of him with leisure.He stretched out his hand and pointed lightly in the direction of the gate, and a fire dragon jumped up from the ground and quickly spread around, blocking everyone's way in an instant.

"I deserve to die." Ye Zhaoling stood in the sea of ​​flames, and the flames made his eyes bloodshot: "But I want all of you to be buried with me."

I don't know what trick Zhong Yu played, the connection inside and outside the hall was completely blocked.No matter how the people in the hall cried and shouted, no one rushed in to rescue him.

During the panic, an old female voice sounded from the hall.

"Zhong Yu, you are so stubborn!"

The queen stood up and stood in front of her throne.She stretched out her plump white hand and lightly slapped her three times. Zhong Yu's body seemed to be shot by an invisible bullet. She trembled violently and knelt down on one knee overwhelmed.

The envoys on the stage breathed a sigh of relief from the brink of the stroke, and exclaimed repeatedly: "Bold! Bold! Help! Come quickly! Take down this evil obstacle!"

The only special agent in the hall finally came to his senses, rushed up to the questioning platform from all directions, and pushed Ye Zhaoling to the ground.

The Brahma fire on the questioning platform has long been extinguished, but the remaining power of the magic circle is still there.Ye Zhaoling stared at the messy Lingtai, unbearable, and a big mouthful of blood gushed out from the corner of his mouth.

Blood flowed down Ye Zhaoling's chin, and finally dripped on the golden magic circle, disappearing in the blink of an eye.After all, Ye Zhaoling was at the end of his battle, and this nameless karma did not last long, and it was quickly and silently extinguished.A flood of security personnel poured in from outside the hall, crowding Nuo Da's Fengying Hall to the brim.

Rong's ancestors have passed away for many years, and now just burning a few tablets of them does not make him feel happy.

He has been hiding his shadow for 500 years. Today, he no longer covers up for the royal family, but stands in front of people with his true identity, and makes public everything he has witnessed.He wanted everyone to know that under the magnificent dragon robe passed down from generation to generation by the Great Sage's royal family, what a humble and dirty face was concealed.

Zhong Yu's words were so shocking that most people would have doubted them.But after he showed this divine fire from heaven in public, people gradually believed that he was really a wandering soul that traveled through a hundred years.

Prince Rui in the auditorium finally choked out a sentence: "Xiaoye, you... are not human...?"

Ye Zhaoling didn't answer.

The turmoil in the palace finally subsided, and the terrified dignitaries didn't want to stay any longer, and took the opportunity to leave.Today they not only listened to the royal family secrets, but almost lost their lives.

"My lords, please stay." At this time, the empress said: "Zhong Yu has done so many injustices that he is powerless to make waves. Since he has no repentance, let's start his trial now."
