Jinyiwei's psychic case: the opening is Lingbo Weibu

Chapter 1112

When this Imperial Guard spoke these words with great excitement, the entire Golden Palace erupted in uproar once again.

"what?"

"The Red Miao Witch Ancestor was... was killed by Xu Qing at Coffin Mountain?"

Shocked, Zhu Youwei couldn't help but smile as she uttered these words, her lips curving upwards in a seductive red.

The reincarnated Coffin Mountain Witch Ancestor is at least at the pseudo-terrestrial immortal realm.

Was he really killed by Xu Shan?

Not only Zhu Youwei, but anyone with even a slight understanding of martial arts in the Ming Dynasty knew what this news meant.

Xu Shan, who was able to kill the Red Miao Witch Ancestor, must at least be at the Land Immortal Realm, right?

This is a top-tier existence that transcends the Five Elements and is outside the Three Realms.

It's no exaggeration to say that if he were willing...

Who can truly restrain him according to the laws of this world?

"Your Majesty, in this battle, the three great shamans of the Miao region joined forces, with the assistance of Master Chen, the Demon Suppressor of the Heavenly Dao, and Sun Huofo, the direct descendant of the Tantric sect. All the Imperial Guards worked together with one heart..."

"Not only did they kill the Red Miao shaman ancestor, but they also prevented him from reincarnating and causing havoc on the human world."

This memorial was drafted by Xu Shan himself.

The reason for distributing military merits was twofold: firstly, to secure benefits for the Black Miao and other ethnic groups; and secondly, because he had already reached the pinnacle of his power, and his men were expected to follow suit and achieve even greater heights!

As for Chen Dingtian and Sun Xiaoyu, they each represent the Heavenly Dao Sect and the Esoteric Sect, respectively, both of which are orthodox sects in this world.

The fact that even they joined in shows that the Red Miao of Coffin Mountain has incurred the wrath of both heaven and man!

"Furthermore, Lord Xu has submitted a memorial..."

"The Red Miao of Guanshan sacrificed many cities and people in western Sichuan in order to allow their ancestral witch to be reincarnated."

"This has caused widespread suffering and devastation in the local area, leaving the land barren for thousands of miles."

"During this period, Princess Shi Qing, who controlled the military and political affairs of Shu County, deliberately concealed the truth, which caused the people to complain and their anger to rise to the sky."

"Upon learning that Imperial Envoy Xu was leading troops into Sichuan on behalf of the imperial court to quell the rebellion and suppress the demons, the people of many cities rose up in rebellion and responded enthusiastically, welcoming the imperial army into the cities!"

"Even the various ethnic groups in the Miao territory and the gentry of Shu County are willing to serve him faithfully!"

"This also enabled Imperial Envoy Xu, who led only four battalions of the imperial court, to capture nearly 70% of the cities in Shu County without bloodshed, with the support of the local people and their ethnic groups."

"Currently, we have divided our forces into three groups to stage a military coup in Chengdu!"

'boom.'

When the Imperial Guard responsible for reporting finished relaying this information with excitement and pride, the vast Golden Palace erupted in chaos.

"What? Lord Xu, with only four battalions under your command, you have already taken over 70% of the cities in Shu County."

"Now, they've split their forces into three groups to stage a military coup in Chengdu?"

"This, how is this possible?"

The incredulous generals questioned him on the spot with exaggerated expressions.

"The people of Shu have long suffered from the evil concubine Shi Qing and the red Miao of Guanshan."

"Upon learning of the arrival of Lord Xu, whose benevolence is invincible, people of all ethnicities not only voluntarily offered up their cities but also lined the streets to welcome him."

"After Lord Xu led his troops into the city, he did not take a single needle or thread from the people, nor did he eat a single grain of rice from them. He publicly executed the corrupt officials and bureaucrats, and the Emperor's grace was immediately bestowed upon the local area."

"This led the local people to praise Lord Xu's army as a 'benevolent and righteous army' and a 'just army'!"

"Feeling the Emperor's boundless grace, the Miao villages of Wenshan, Ma, and Wu, along with other ethnic groups in western Sichuan, presented their 'totems' and declared that they were one family under the Ming Dynasty and would forever submit to Emperor Jingtai!"

Upon hearing this, the entire Golden Palace erupted in commotion.

Even during the reign of the late emperor, the leaders of various tribes in the Shu army had never presented their 'totems' to show their submission as they have today.

This is a spectacle that has never been seen in nearly a century!

While many ministers were still basking in the joy of the victory, the anxious Marquis of Anping spoke up inappropriately, "Your Majesty..."

"According to the late emperor's will, the Red Miao of Guanshan are carrying out a plan to supplement the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty."

"We absolutely cannot let Xu Shan continue causing trouble. Otherwise..."

'boom! '

This time, before Marquis Anping could finish speaking, Zhu Youwei immediately slammed her hand on the table and stood up, demanding, "Otherwise what?"

"Otherwise, the Ming Dynasty would lose its destiny, wouldn't it?"

"If the fate of the Ming Dynasty was bought with the suffering and devastation of tens of millions of people in Shu County..."

"We, the Great Ming, would rather not have this additional national fortune."

"If losing this national fortune could bring about the unification of all the tribes in Shu, then all the backlash..."

"I, the Emperor, will bear the responsibility!"

"A hundred years from now, when I am buried and meet the late emperor, I will personally apologize."

'Clatter.'

After Zhu Youwei finished speaking, most of the civil and military officials, led by Lai Mingcheng, immediately knelt on the ground.

They shouted in unison, "His Majesty's holy name!"

"Your Majesty, we are willing to accompany you to the grave to plead guilty."

"The Red Miao of Guanshan divided the land, ravaged Sichuan, and committed countless atrocities."

"The heavens are clear and the sun shines brightly, and the hearts of the people are burning with righteous indignation!"

"Don't even mention the late emperor's edict..."

"Even if the late emperor were here, this old minister would still stand here and argue this point!"

When Lai Mingcheng and other high-ranking officials finished shouting these words in anger, Marquis Anping and a few other ministers who did not want Xu Shan to return to the capital alive or even be punished all turned pale.

At this moment, they were perfectly clear.

With great Confucian scholars like Lai Mingcheng defending the classics for His Majesty and Xu Shan, even the late Emperor's edict became a worthless piece of paper!

"Report!"

"Your Majesty, an urgent report has arrived from Shu County, eight hundred li away."

"What's the matter?"

"The wicked concubine Shi Qing has been massacring the gentry of Shu County in Chengdu and has placed the King of Shu under house arrest!"

"The King of Shu, unable to bear the humiliation, personally wrote a letter in blood, pleading with the court to enter Shu and quell the rebellion."

"Ok?"

"Slaughtering the gentry?"

"Imperial Uncle, is this a blood-written letter? Bring it here immediately."

"Yes."

Both the blood letter and this urgent dispatch were prepared by Xu Shan before the turmoil in Chengdu.

In his view, this would be the final straw that broke the camel's back for the Hongmiao of Guanshan, and also the legitimate reason for Xu Shan to lead his troops into Chengdu.

I went to rescue the King of Shu.

I'm going to quell the rebellion!

Chengdu is now under Xu's control; who would dare disobey?

With the imperial court's backing, I, Xu Rentu, can slaughter every single disobedient person in Shu County!

"It is indeed the Imperial Uncle's own handwritten letter in blood!"

Looking at the crooked, blood-written calligraphy above, which was entirely written by Xu Shan.

Zhu Youwei, who was lying through her teeth, instantly got into character and glared at Marquis Anping below the stage.

"Lord Anping, didn't you just say that the King of Shu had a great grudge against Minister Xu, and even denounced him for burning, killing, looting, and committing all sorts of atrocities after entering Shu?"

"Then why is the letter he wrote in blood so different from what you described?"

"Was the memorial you presented written by the King of Shu, or by the bewitching concubine Shi Qing?"

'Plop.'

Upon hearing this, the bewildered Marquis Anping immediately knelt down in the Golden Palace.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this old minister..."

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Anping and the wicked concubine colluded to deceive the emperor and cover up their crimes. Their offenses are heinous and they should be investigated and punished!"

"My lord, second the motion!"

"I second the motion..."
