Chapter 83 Treating guests to behead and accepting as a dog

As a disciple of the righteous path, Ji Changsheng has always convinced people with virtue and reason.

The results have proven to be very effective.

Not to mention the worshippers who were moved by Ji Changsheng's virtue and sincerely convinced, the Queen Mother alone almost knelt down to Ji Changsheng.

"Yes, sir... It's mainly because Elder Ji is very observant and has seen through the truth of His Majesty's death and the true physical condition of the Third and Fourth Princes. Since the Third and Fourth Princes are both unwell, even though I am a woman, I have no choice but to take on the responsibility. I also hope that Elder Ji can give me more guidance in the future and lead our Shengguo to prosperity and strength."

After saying this, the queen broke out in a cold sweat.

I'm so used to calling you "Master" that I almost blurted it out just now.

The main reason was that Ji Changsheng's previous words and deeds of "conquering others with virtue" in public had really opened her eyes.

It is hard not to feel a sense of submission to such “righteous disciples”.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly.

The others did not hear anything unusual and were still immersed in Ji Changsheng's "virtue".

Given Ji Changsheng's behavior of winning people over with virtue just now, it was normal for the queen to be frightened and want to surrender.

Ji Changsheng was naturally humble and polite, and he declined all the thanks from the Empress: "Your Majesty, you are too kind. I am the elder of Xuandu Temple, a cultivator, and according to the rules, I cannot interfere in the succession of power in the human dynasty."

Many worshippers were cursing in their hearts.

Do you mean not interfering in the change of dynasties in the world?

Since when did the disciples from the righteous immortal sect become so shameless?

Think about it, when Bai Xiuran was here, things weren’t so exaggerated.

If Ji Changsheng knew what these people were thinking, he would definitely warn them seriously that scum like Bai Xiuran was not worthy of offending the righteous.

He is the one who follows the right path.

"Your Majesty, you still have to take charge of the palace's internal affairs and government affairs as soon as possible. You can't let the court fall into crisis. The tributes have worked hard and made great contributions, so rewards must be arranged as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too unfair to them."

Ji Changsheng had just said that he would not interfere in Sheng’s internal affairs, and the next moment he began to teach the queen how to do things.

The queen naturally followed suit.

"That's what Elder Ji reminded me of."

"Your Majesty, I have worked hard. I am also going to be busy. The dog emperor committed suicide out of shame after I discovered that he was a demon from the Demon Cult. The Jindan guest from the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce was so angry that he assassinated me. They must give me an explanation for these things and give an explanation to Xuandu Temple."

At the end, Ji Changsheng said angrily, "When I went down the mountain, my senior sister told me that anyone who offends Xuandu will be punished no matter how far away they are!"

The queen was stunned.

Although she had long known that her master was not a good person, it was still eye-opening for her to see Ji Changsheng say these words.

When it comes to shamelessness, there really is no limit to the master's ability.

The worshippers were also "convinced".

It was clearly you who took the initiative to break the Immortal Sect Convention, and now you are trying to turn the tables on me.

Is the Xuandu Temple so wild? Did the disciples of Danqing Pavilion also follow suit and confuse right and wrong? How come it is completely different from what was rumored? A group of casual cultivators trembled in fear and dared not express their opinions at all.

At this time, Cao Ziming exerted his subjective initiative.

"The sudden appearance of the Third and Fourth Princes in the Imperial Palace is a bit strange." Cao Ziming frowned and said, "They had already left the palace to set up their own residences, but they were able to get the news of the Yangxin Palace so quickly."

It is obvious that although Senior Brother Cao has only been with Ji Changsheng for a few days, his progress is remarkable.

There is already potential for application.

Ji Changsheng looked at Cao Ziming with satisfaction, feeling that he had indeed done a good job in training him.

"Since ancient times, the Imperial Palace has been a filthy place with all kinds of people. Someone must have tipped off the Third and Fourth Princes. Moreover, even the Dog Emperor is a demon from the Demon Cult. There must be other demon cult undercovers hiding in the Sheng Kingdom Palace. These things need to be thoroughly investigated."

Ji Changsheng looked at the queen and volunteered: "Your Majesty, I am a foreigner and will not interfere in the internal affairs of Sheng State. But this matter involves the Demon Cult, so I cannot stand idly by. Let me be the one to track down the Demon Cult's undercover."

The quick-witted worshippers tensed up instantly, realizing the approaching danger.

"Also, the safety of the priests must be protected. The demons of the Demon Cult are hard to guard against. With the secret support of the Dog Emperor and this Jindan guest from the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce, they must have infiltrated every aspect of the palace. There may be a demon lurking around the priests, who may suddenly kill people at any time. Ji has some experience in tracking demons of the Demon Cult. With Ji here, this kind of thing will never happen."

The Queen was shocked and quickly asked for help: "Elder Ji, this matter involves the Demon Cult, it is a huge matter, how can I cooperate with you?"

Ji Changsheng was very satisfied with the queen's approach.

Return a favor.

Of course, he also had to help the Queen clear the obstacles to her taking power.

"Seal off the palace. No one is allowed to enter or leave the palace freely today." Ji Changsheng said.

The Queen nodded: "I don't mind, but the Imperial Palace has long been infiltrated like a sieve."

At this point, the Queen sighed helplessly: "Elder Ji, you don't know, ever since I discovered the unusual movement in the Yangxin Palace, I have ordered the palace to be sealed off, but the Third and Fourth Princes still broke in."

Ji Changsheng raised his eyebrows.

He had long known that the queen was not a vase.

But now it seems that if he does not help the queen to kill a group of people and capture a group of people with thunder-like means, it will still be difficult for her to control the situation.

Power can only be truly lethal if it can enforce laws and regulations.

Otherwise, even if the queen had the title of "regent", she would not be able to help him at all.

"The Imperial Palace must be seriously rectified. We cannot allow the demons and monsters to come and go without any scruples."

Ji Changsheng first determined the general guidelines and directions.

Then he implemented specific measures: "Your Majesty, I will first investigate the evidence of the dog emperor colluding with the devil and selling out the country. You go and prepare. I will organize a dinner party and invite all the important people in the palace. Such a big thing happened in the palace today, and many people will be uneasy. Ji has no choice but to help Your Majesty calm people down."

"Okay, everything will be as Elder Ji said."

The Queen breathed a sigh of relief.

Facts have proved that although the bad master did evil things, he was still very good to his own people.

Follow your master and your future will be bright.

The queen bravely launched the charge.

Ji Changsheng was indeed very caring towards this "spokesperson" he had just recruited.

"Brother Cao, you will stay with the Empress for the time being to protect her safety. The hidden dangers in the palace have not been cleared yet, and the Empress must not get into any trouble."

"What about you?" Cao Ziming asked worriedly, "Junior Brother Ji, if there really is a demon cult lurking, you are the most dangerous."

Although Cao Ziming knew that the Emperor of Sheng was definitely framed by Ji Changsheng, in Cao Ziming's mind, the eldest princess and the crown prince were both real demons.

Therefore, Cao Ziming would not be surprised at all if a few more undercover agents of the Demon Cult appeared in the Sheng Kingdom Palace.

Ji Changsheng was not surprised either.

But he didn't take it seriously.

"Don't worry, I will basically not leave the Yangxin Palace. If something really happens, Brother Cao, as long as you are in the palace, you will definitely be able to rush here in time."

"Junior Brother Ji, just know what's going on."

Seeing Ji Changsheng so confident, Cao Ziming no longer hesitated.

He still felt relieved about Junior Brother Ji.

"Then I will follow Her Majesty to inspect the palace first."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Cao. Please do your job and keep your duty at this critical moment. If I find anyone who is colluding with the devil and betraying the country, I will kill them without mercy!"

Ji Changsheng’s threat was real to these royal servants.

No one dared to object openly.

Their methods are not as ruthless as Ji Changsheng's, their background is not as strong as Ji Changsheng's, and their strength is probably not as strong as Ji Changsheng's.

Unless he is a real demon from the evil cult, he would never have the urge to resist Ji Changsheng now.

Soon, Ji Changsheng was the only one left in the Yangxin Palace.

He began to "search" for evidence that the Dog Emperor was a demon from a cult!

Although he had confirmed that the Dog Emperor had secretly sided with the Demon Cult, and did not feel that he had violated the Immortal Sect's convention, he had killed an emperor after all.

Ji Changsheng estimated that his actions might even attract a joint investigation team from all the major immortal sects.

After all, it has been hundreds of years since a cultivator in the cultivation world directly killed a human king.

This kind of thing can't be covered up.

What's more, Ji Changsheng didn't want to cover it up.

So before the investigation team came, he had to find evidence to support his actions.

God will not let down those who work hard.

A minute later, Ji Changsheng's surprised voice rang out in the Yangxin Palace: "Found it! I said that the Dog Emperor must be a demon from the Demon Cult. If you don't want others to know, then you better not do it yourself. I still found his demon cult tail!"

…

Nightfall.

Led by the Queen, Ji Changsheng walked into the Baohe Hall.

This was a grand venue for the Sheng Kingdom to hold royal banquets, mainly used to receive guests and hold important ceremonies.

The dinner organized by the Queen was also held here.

When the Queen and Ji Changsheng appeared together, everyone present stood up and saluted them.

"Meet the Queen."

"Meet Elder Ji."

Ji Changsheng nodded in return.

The queen came to the main seat and sat down, then she also said: "Everyone, please don't be polite. The state banquet is being held today because Elder Ji has something important to announce."

Everyone's eyes were focused on the Queen and Ji Changsheng.

The queen did not try to steal the show. She knew that she was just a puppet and it was not her turn to steal the show, so she said directly to Ji Changsheng: "Elder Ji, according to your previous instructions, everyone who should come to the palace has been called here. Please inform them of your findings so that these loyal ministers will not be kept in the dark."

Ji Changsheng praised: "Your Majesty is right, and I would like to trouble you all to be a witness. In order to seek immortality, the emperor secretly colluded with the demon sect, practiced magic, and took human lives lightly, which was hated by both humans and gods. After being discovered by Ji, he committed suicide out of shame."

When Ji Changsheng said this, many people, especially the eunuchs, suddenly changed color.

Everyone in the palace today knew that something must have happened.

But not everyone is well-informed.

Some people just knew that something happened in the palace, but they didn't know what exactly happened.

After all, the queen blocked the news in time.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The third and fourth princes were able to break into the palace despite the Queen's blockade because of their special identities and their own network of connections, but not everyone has this kind of power.

After Ji Changsheng exposed himself, some of the emperor's confidants immediately slammed the table and said:

"What?"

"Your Majesty has passed away?"

"I absolutely do not believe that Your Majesty would commit suicide."

"Traitor, we will fight you to the bitter end."

…

Seeing the commotion in front of him as expected, Cao Ziming simply split the chopping board in front of him in half with his sword.

"Shut up, everyone." Cao Ziming said coldly, "If you dare to make noise again, you will be treated like this table!"

The Baohe Hall suddenly became quiet.

Cao Ziming thought that what Junior Brother Ji said was indeed right. These people were afraid of power but not virtue.

Seeing that Cao Ziming had the situation under control, Ji Changsheng smiled slightly and continued, "Everyone, please be patient. I know that this matter is difficult for everyone to accept, but the evidence that the emperor is colluding with the Demon Cult is irrefutable. Please take a look."

Ji Changsheng waved his right hand.

The next moment, in the center of Baohe Hall, hard evidence of the emperor's collusion with the evil cult appeared.

White bones.

Dry corpse.

Magical weapon.

Correspondence! Just as Ji Changsheng said, the evidence is as strong as a mountain.

However, when Cao Ziming saw the evidence presented by Ji Changsheng, his old face turned red again.

The queen almost vomited.

The look he gave Ji Changsheng was stunning.

My master is really...

“How shameless!”

The third prince sat up in shock from his dying illness.

Although his legs were broken and he was disabled, the third prince still stubbornly attended the dinner.

The main thing is that he has to come.

Ji Changsheng specifically asked the queen to call the third prince and the fourth prince together.

Then, the third prince saw the "evidence" that made him extremely angry.

"Ji Changsheng, you are shameless, a bastard, and you are confusing right and wrong." The third prince was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Ji Changsheng and shouted angrily, "These so-called evidences are all evidence that the crown prince and the eldest sister are colluding with the devil sect. What do they have to do with my father?"

Yes.

Ji Changsheng did not create any new evidence.

The hard evidence seized from the crown prince and the eldest princess was directly transferred to the case against the emperor.

The main focus is to save resources and reuse them.

So the third prince was furious.

"Ji Changsheng, you are not even willing to fabricate some new false evidence. With this kind of evidence, do you want to silence the world's gossips?"

The third prince had never seen such a perverse demon.

Ji Changsheng looked at the angry Third Prince and sighed helplessly.

"Third Prince, it seems that you have also been deeply possessed by the devil. Even today, you are still defending the demon cult monster."

The Third Prince laughed out of anger: "Ji Changsheng, could it be that all those who oppose you are demons from the Demon Cult?"

Ji Changsheng nodded calmly: "Ji is devoted to the country, and everything he does is just. Anyone who is my enemy is naturally a demon from the Demon Cult, and everyone has the right to kill him!"

The words fell.

Blood splattered.

The third prince quickly went to see his father.

The knife that Ji Changsheng made.

Be open and honest, without any concealment.

The entire Baohedian Hall was stunned.

Ji Changsheng said solemnly: "It is our duty to kill the demons of the Demon Cult. Everyone, if there are any demons of the Demon Cult who feel sad for the death of the rabbit, just stand up, and I will accept all the questions."

"I!"

Ji Changsheng waved.

"I would rather die than ..."

Before he finished speaking, the head fell to the ground.

"Traitor...Puff!"

There was silence in Baohedian.

Everyone looked at Ji Changsheng in shock.

Ji Changsheng looked calm, without any emotional fluctuations.

When facing the Bai family, he needed to resort to conspiracy and trickery because at that time Ji Changsheng was not as strong as the Bai family and could only resort to trickery.

Now things have changed.

Sheng Country, even if it has the support of Tongtian Chamber of Commerce, what can it do to Ji Changsheng?

He has the upper hand in terms of strength and background, and he is too lazy to use any conspiracy or trickery except for superficial work.

"There are indeed many undercover agents of the Demon Cult hidden in the Shengguo Palace. Fortunately, Ji was well prepared."

Ji Changsheng looked around and asked calmly, "Are there any more demons from the Demon Cult who want to assassinate me?"

No one answered.

Ji Changsheng nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good, it seems that everyone is on the right path, I am very relieved."

"The country cannot be without a ruler for a day. The emperor has committed atrocities and brought about his own destruction. Ji prefers the Empress to take over the government, but after all, it is not legitimate and reasonable."

Just two days ago, there was a rule in Sheng Kingdom that the harem was not allowed to interfere in government affairs.

If Ji Changsheng wants to force the queen to the throne, he may encounter a lot of resistance from stubborn old men.

Ji Changsheng didn't want to kill people, so he thought of a compromise: "Fourth Prince, you are the only living son of the dog emperor. It seems that the throne of Sheng Kingdom will fall on you. What do you think?"

The Fourth Prince was unable to utter a word, his eyes filled with resentment.

A mute who was bedridden all day long, what would it feel like to be the emperor? The fourth prince saw Ji Changsheng's wolfish ambition and his ruthlessness, so he risked his life.

I don't want to cooperate at all.

I just want to die.

pity.

Ji Changsheng did not let him get his wish.

Instead, he nodded with relief.

"Your Highness is silent, which means he has agreed. In this case, Your Highness will be the new king of Sheng State, and Your Majesty will be the queen dowager of Sheng State. Queen Dowager, Your Highness is not feeling well and cannot handle state affairs for the time being. We have to trouble you to take over the new king's place for a while."

The Queen... now the Queen Mother, readily agreed: "What Elder Ji said is right. I will definitely assist the new monarch and make Shengguo great again!"

"Well said, everyone. Come, let us drink this cup together and assist His Majesty and the Queen Mother together to make Shengguo great again!"

Ji Changsheng took the initiative to raise his glass.

Inside the Baohe Hall, everyone was in a happy mood! (End of this chapter)
