[Host: Zhao Zhen]
[Cultivation: Connate perfection]
[Intimidation value: 58,460 (-10,000)]
It was late at night.
Zhao Zhen lay on the dragon couch and looked at the personal information in his mind with a happy expression.
When his deterrence value reached 40,000, he received the reward of the Marrow Cleansing and Bone Regeneration Pill.
As such, the item's usage is rather special. It's not suitable for use now and is still stored in the host's warehouse.
When the deterrence value reached 50,000, the reward was the Ice Palm!
In just a few days, his deterrence value had increased quite quickly.
Other than the large amount of deterrence value brought by Bao Zheng's beheading of Pang Yu.
The other large gain of deterrence value was the punishment of Grand Preceptor Pang and his disciple.
However, Zhao Zhen also discovered that the deterrence value obtained through the people who belonged to him actually had a 24-hour time limit.
The deterrence value obtained because of him did not seem to have a time limit.
It seemed that the bell of the Imperial City could be rung tomorrow, and a court meeting could be held. There would be a great harvest.
He hoped that the reward for triggering the system again would be skill.
After all, this was the foundation of cultivation.
……
A large number of people knelt down in the huge court.
Only a few people were still standing in the court.
However, there were also some people who were standing, and their expressions were already wavering.
In front of Zhao Zhen was a long scroll.
On it were letters signed by many officials and people with achievements in the capital.
The scroll was more than ten meters long, and there were thousands of signatures on it.
"What cliques? That was, there had to be benefits. The students of Grand Preceptor Pang had all passed the imperial examinations to gain fame. After entering the official ranks, their promotions were also in line with the laws of the imperial court. But now because of the words of Long Live, they have all been convicted, and will never be used again, how innocent? How sad was that? This is also to chill the hearts of scholars all over the world, so that the court can choose its own way to select talented people!”
"Since the founding of the Great Song, they have emphasized benevolence and filial piety. Pang Taishi is Pang Fei's father, also known as Long Live Dongyue. Even if there was a relationship between monarch and minister, it also required the relationship between the old and the young! Long live according to their own likes and dislikes, so to punish, how to convince the world?”
"When Taizu founded the country, he emphasized that it was a national policy to not punish Great Officers. It was also a preferential treatment for meritorious officials. Grand Preceptor Pang had been loyal to the imperial court all his life. Even if Wansui didn't punish him, his words and actions were against the ancestral system.”
"It's unjust to punish someone because of your own preferences. The remonstrant also cut off the future because his advice did not conform to the emperor's will, which was really unkind. It is unfilial to violate the ancestral system, and it is disloyal to do all kinds of things that will bring disaster to the country. I hope that you will stop at the brink of the precipice, retract your order, pardon Grand Preceptor Pang and more than ten officials who have been convicted because of this, and return peace to the government and the people, as well as a clear sky for thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.”
"Please take back your orders!"
After an official concluded his speech, the kneeling crowd began to speak in unison, their voices shaking the heavens.
Zhao Zhen, who had been sitting quietly, finally stood up.
Just when everyone thought that Wansui was going to compromise and appease these kneeling officials.
His face suddenly darkened.
In an instant, there was a mighty aura.
The body that stood proudly at the top was like a divine mountain.
It made everyone feel an inexplicable pressure, and they felt like they couldn't breathe.
However, Zhao Zhen's cold gaze landed directly on Lu Yijian, who was standing.
It made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his legs went weak.
If he didn't maintain his calm and persevere, he would probably kneel down.
"You urged others to oppose me, but you want to continue being a good person. Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?”
Zhao Zhen glared at Lü Yijian and spoke coldly, making it difficult for him to hold on any longer. With a plop, he knelt down.
"Long live, why do you say that? This old official…is loyal to His Majesty, how could he do such a thing?”
"It seems that you're going to die. Not only did he mess with the government, he even dared to deceive the emperor!”
After saying that coldly, Zhao Zhen shouted in a deep voice,"Where is Leng Gudu?"
Leng Gudu walked into the Imperial Court.
"This lowly one gives long live…"
"Cut the formalities and tell everyone what you have seen and heard these past few days!”
Zhao Zhen interrupted Leng Gudu.
He didn't delay any longer and told her directly.
Even though his words were concise, he spoke for a long time.
It was all because Lu Yijian was colluding with the officials.
There were even some private conversations.
Not only did Lü Yijian break out in cold sweat and tremble, many of the officials kneeling also felt the same.
"Long live, this lowly one has recorded the relevant information.”
In the end, Leng Gudu took out a scroll and handed it to Zhao Zhen.
"Lu Yijian, what else do you have to say?”
"This old minister…knows his sins. I hope…Your Majesty will forgive me!”
"Men, push out the Meridian Gate and behead him!”
Forgive?
If they did not kill today, there would probably be more such incidents in the future.
Moreover, this would also affect his acquisition of deterrence value.
"No…Wansui can't kill me, this old minister has…a death-exemption medallion!”
Zhao Zhen now realized that Ren Zong always liked to do such things.
However, it could not stop him from killing Lü Yijian.
"The death-exemption medallion can only exempt you from death once! To speculate on my mind and resist in advance is actually to plot power and disrupt politics. It is already a death penalty! I'm giving you a chance by telling you your crimes, but you didn't grasp it. You even made excuses. It's a serious crime to deceive the emperor, so you naturally deserve to be killed! Therefore, the death-exemption medallion can no longer save you!”
"No…this old minister has done something…"
"Although you have done well, you have already been rewarded. How can you use your achievements to compensate for your mistakes? Moreover, you have betrayed my trust in you.”
After saying that coldly, Zhao Zhen shouted again,"Throw it out and chop it!"
The imperial guards who had already heard the commotion didn't delay any longer.
After a respectful response, he carried Lyu Yijian, who was already paralyzed with fear, and walked out!
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 30 years of cultivation!”
The effect was immediate.
This was only the beginning. The first criminal had not even started killing, but his deterrence value had already reached 50,000.
Moreover, it was the reward that Zhao Zhen wanted the most. He had obtained another 30 years of cultivation!
