Volume 1 Chapter 31 I want to go too
Xuanyuan Dabing thought that the speed of this punch was very slow and even an ordinary person could dodge it.
But he never expected that Xiang Yun had no intention of hiding at all. By the time he reacted, it was too late and he couldn't stop.
Full of confidence, Xiang Yun used his chest to block the fist. The next moment, Xiang Yun's face distorted and he flew out, drawing a graceful arc in the air.
Xiang Yun rolled on the ground, feeling difficulty breathing, a burning pain in his chest and a sweetness in his throat. Xiang Yun quickly held it in. He knew what it was, but he must not spit it out and lose face.
At this time, Xuanyuan Dabing had already run over, gently helped Xiang Yun up, and complained: "Your Majesty, why didn't you hide? You scared me."
Xiang Yun had a dark face and didn't want to pay attention to him. Now he seemed to understand Tang Shui's psychological feelings that day. This guy was indeed not an ordinary person.
Xiang Yun left without saying a word, holding his chest, leaving Xuanyuan Dabing alone in the huge training ground, his hair disheveled by the wind, and a little at a loss.
At this time, Xiang Yun was walking aimlessly in the palace, feeling extremely depressed. It seemed that only his physical fitness had improved, and the other things like becoming a martial arts master were still just a dream.
"But what's the use of this? Is he really invincible only when it comes to women? It's cool, but it's a bit tasteless and unrequited!"
Xiang Yun was muttering to himself when Xuanyuan Dabing came running over to report, "Your Majesty, Sun Shang has been brought here and is waiting outside the palace."
When Xiang Yun heard that the business was coming, he stopped thinking about it and immediately said, "Call him to the imperial study!"
Sun Shang was a man who looked to be about thirty years old. He was not very tall and was dressed simply. One could tell at first glance that he was a poor scholar.
As soon as he entered the imperial study, Sun Shang looked up and saw the young man Xiang Yun who was reading the memorials. He was startled at first, then he knelt down and saluted: "Scholar Sun Shang, I pay my respects to the emperor."
Although he had long known that the current emperor was a very young man, hearing about him was not as good as meeting him in person. Sun Shang's first impression of Xiang Yun was that this man did not seem to be as mediocre as the rumors said.
It was because Xiang Yun had such an extraordinary aura, a sense of confidence that an ordinary person would never have.
Xiang Yun ignored him at first. After a pause of ten breaths, Xiang Yun threw a file in front of Sun Shang.
"Take a look for yourself!" Xiang Yun said calmly, and continued reading the memorial.
Sun Shang quickly spread out the file and saw that it contained all his thoughts over the years and the words he had said to many of his literary friends.
But how could such things be shown to the current emperor? As a scholar with great achievements, he made irresponsible comments on state affairs, slandered the officials in the capital, and even spoke against the emperor. This is a heinous crime and he must be executed along with his entire family!
When Sun Shang thought of this, his heart sank. It was a sudden disaster. On the way, he was still wondering why the emperor summoned him, a small scholar, but now he knew it all. His life was over.
Just as Sun Shang was in a daze, Xiang Yun's cold voice came to his ear: "Have you thought about how to die? I allow you to choose a way to die!"
Sun Shang quickly raised his head and looked at Xiang Yun, then slumped to the ground, looked around, and suddenly crawled up and ran out of the imperial study.
Two Royal Guards stood directly at the door, blocking his way.
Sun Shang turned around and said bitterly, "Your Majesty, do you really want to kill me?"
Xiang Yun didn't say anything, still looking at the memorial, only to see Sun Shang suddenly look up to the sky and laugh, "Hahaha, why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken? Since I have seen Your Majesty today, even if I die, I still have something to say!"
Sun Shang raised the file in his hand and said loudly: "These are the words from the bottom of my heart. The officials of the Great Sun Dynasty protect each other, and the people are living in misery. If Your Majesty does not take it to heart, then it will not be the common people who will die, but Your Majesty!"
"How dare you!" Xuanyuan Dabing was furious when he heard this. He kicked Sun Shang to his knees and said angrily, "Do you think you can talk about the emperor?"
At this time, Xiang Yun finally put down the memorial in his hand, looked at him and asked: "Then according to your opinion, what should we do with these officials?"
Sun Shang hurriedly shouted, “The laws of our Great Sun Dynasty are perfect, Your Majesty only needs to impose strict laws and punish anyone who breaks the law, no matter who they are;
The sword fell, the head fell, as long as justice is in the hearts of the people, the world will be at peace! "
Xiang Yun sneered, "You are quite murderous. You know that even the most severe laws need people to enforce them. Even the sharpest knife needs people to pick it up.
Few people dare to do something that would offend the civil and military officials of the whole court, and even I sometimes find it a hindrance."
The speaker may not have intended it, but the listener may have taken it seriously. If Sun Shang still didn't understand the emperor's intention at this time, he would not have been able to pass the examination to become a scholar.
Sun Shang knocked his head heavily to the ground and said loudly: "I am willing to share your majesty's worries and be the one holding the knife to restore the sky of the Great Sun Dynasty to a clear sky!"
Xiang Yun did not speak, but stood up from the dragon chair, walked to Sun Shang, looked down at him, and said lightly: "Can you hold this knife?"
Sun Shang did not hesitate at all and immediately shouted, "I can take it."
Xiang Yun pulled out the sword of a soldier beside him and held it in front of Sun Shang. He then asked, "Here is the sword. Tell me, can you hold it?"
Sun Shang suddenly looked up and looked at the cold light emanating from the blade. After a slight hesitation, he suddenly grasped the blade tightly with both hands.
Blood soon seeped out from the palms of his hands, slowly flowed down along the blade, and dripped onto the ground, staining the carpet embroidered with golden dragons in the imperial study red.
Sun Shang endured the pain in his hands and, despite his trembling body, he said loudly again: "Your Majesty, I can take it!"
"Okay!" Xiang Yun sat back on the throne with a majestic look, and said, "Sun Shang, please accept my order. I grant you the post of inspector of eight prefectures. From today on, you will inspect the whole country for me. You will make decisions on major matters and make decisions on minor matters. You must speak frankly about the gains and losses of government affairs, the benefits and harms of the military and civilians!"
Sun Shang trembled and kowtowed hurriedly, saying, "Your Majesty, I accept your command and thank you for your grace!"
Xiang Yun nodded and said, "I have given you the power. I hope you won't let me down. The censor has committed a crime and will be punished by a third grade. You can take care of yourself!"
Sun Shang was still very excited until he walked out of the palace. Although he already knew that the emperor would look for him for something, he did not expect that he would be given a high position and great power.
Once he left the palace, Sun Shang went from being a poor scholar to someone who held the power of life and death over all civil and military officials of the Da Ri Dynasty.
This is all too dreamy.
But Sun Shang always remembered his responsibilities. Although the Inspector of Eight Prefectures had great power, it was not easy to be the Inspector.
If it was just some minor fights, some people in high positions would not bother with him, but if it threatened their own status, then at that moment, it would be the time when Sun Shang would face a bloody disaster.
Thinking of this, Sun Shang couldn't help but shudder. He turned his head and took a deep look in the direction of the imperial palace. He thought that His Majesty the Emperor must have known this for a long time.
Then Sun Shang muttered to himself, "Your Majesty has high hopes for me. I will do my best. If one day I die outside, I will have no regrets in having such a holy ruler in my dynasty."
Xiang Yun in the imperial study seemed to have sensed something. He stood up and looked into the distance, thinking to himself, "The civil and military officials were forced to give up their military power, but the power in the court is not so easy to give up.
Sun Shang's ruthless machine gun has been set up, and the huge court will be riddled with holes. I just hope these old guys can be quiet, or else don't blame my sword for being too ruthless."
"We have Qin Su, Jiang Yue, Tang Shui, and Xuanyuan Dabing as our military commanders, so we are considered stable. We only have one civil official, Sun Shang, and we don't know when he will die. We have too few of them!
It seems that I have no choice but to focus on this imperial examination, hoping that more talents can be selected for me!"
Thinking of this, Xiang Yun hurried back to the jade table, took a piece of rice paper, picked up the pen and started writing.
After a while, Xiang Yun called Xuanyuan Dabing in, handed him an envelope and said, "Go there in person and hand this letter to Zhen Dajin, the eldest master of the Zhen family."
After letting the Zhen family take over, they originally wanted their money, but now the national treasury is full and money is no longer a priority. Now they need to make an effort and use the resources in their hands.
"Yes!" Xuanyuan Dabing took the envelope and left quickly.
Xiang Yun then slowly exhaled a breath and thought to himself, "Now is the only way to be safe!"
Xiang Yun thought about it again, but still felt uneasy, so he called Xiao Guazi and said, "Come on, take me out of the palace!"
The capital city is one of the largest cities in the Great Sun Dynasty. Even at night when people in the countryside have gone to bed, the capital city is still brightly lit and bustling.
Especially some places with fireworks and restaurants are very lively.
Xiang Yun was wearing a gray and white gentleman's suit embroidered with cranes, white clouds, green mountains and flowing water. He looked like a handsome young man.
It is not an exaggeration for Xiang Yun to think that he is handsome, while Xiao Guazi follows behind him in a dark red plum blossom robe.
The two of them wandered around the capital for a long time and unknowingly came to this fireworks field.
Staring at the bright lights and feasting ahead, there are all kinds of charming women wearing gold and silver jewelry, and dressed in red and yellow, constantly soliciting customers.
He pulled many wealthy young men and gentlemen passing by into the restaurant to have a drink. It was said that the wine they drank was aged girl's red wine, which tasted very good.
Xiang Yun couldn't move his feet when he saw this, and thought to himself: "Wow, this thing doesn't seem to be illegal in this world!"
Xiang Yun became excited, even though he was the emperor and had no shortage of beauties around him.
But it should be okay to just go in and have a drink and have someone rub your shoulders.
Thinking of this, Xiang Yun took a step towards that direction, but was suddenly stopped by Xiao Guazi.
I only heard Little Melon Seed shouting anxiously: "Your Majesty, no, you can't go to that kind of place."
Xiang Yun's face darkened upon hearing this, and he said unhappily, "Why can everyone else go but I can't?"
Xiang Yun was about to continue walking, but Xiao Guazi hurriedly held him back and said anxiously, "Your Majesty really can't go. I heard that ministers in the capital often come in and out of here. If your Majesty goes in and is recognized by any minister, where will your holy face be?"
