Dafeng Guardian 大奉打更人 Episode 37

Xu Qian'an brought the investigating delegation to Beizhou and the coffin of King Zhenbei back to the capital. When the palace servants reported to Emperor Jing, he was still fishing, looking lazy and leisurely. Seeing this, the palace servants had to carefully usher in the ministers. Zheng Xinghuai, the governor of Chuzhou, told the truth about the tragedy behind the "bloodstained three thousand miles" word by word. Unexpectedly, Emperor Jing did not believe it at all. Several ministers He impeached the King of Zhenbei to him, and tried to prove that the King of Zhenbei in Chuzhou wanted to be promoted.

The emperor was indifferent when he heard that 380,000 people in Chuzhou were killed, but when he heard that the King of Zhenbei was dead, he ran out barefoot to see the body. Emperor Jing opened the coffin and kept calling for his brother. The ministers beside him looked at each other in bewilderment. Emperor Lai Jing did not intend to convict. Xu Qian'an loudly stated the crimes of King Zhenbei at that time, hoping that the emperor would give an explanation to the people of Chuzhou who died unjustly. Emperor Jing pointed at Xu Qian'an and cursed him, reminding him not to think that he would not be killed, and even put a sharp knife to Zheng Xinghuai's neck. Zheng Xinghuai remained indifferent. He calmly responded that anyway, his whole family was dead, and there was no point in him living alone. The knife in Emperor Jing's hand fell, and he ordered everyone to leave.

Xu Qian'an went to see Wei Yuan and first apologized for not coming to report to his master earlier. Wei Yuan admitted that before Xu Qiyan went to Chuzhou, he had guessed that it was the King of Zhenbei who was causing trouble. Emperor Jing sent him to investigate the case, which was just a routine matter. The result was not important, but he did not expect Xu Qiyan to take the lead and actually kill King Zhenbei, you should know that King Zhenbei's current divine power is close to the second level. He slaughtered the people in order to have more spiritual power. In the end, he wanted to attack the Kui tribe. In fact, Xu Qian'an could wait until King Zhenbei attacked the Kui tribe. Sit back and reap the benefits. After listening to Wei Yuan's inference, Xu Qian'an couldn't help but question, how would he be convicted when the King of Zhenbei died in the attack on the Kui tribe?

Wei Yuan had reminded Xu Qian'an before not to show off his talents. Now he actually talked back to Emperor Jing. Wei Yuan patted Xu Qian'an on the shoulder and once again reminded him earnestly that he should learn to be patient, otherwise he would lose more. It is undeniable that Wei Yuan's every decision and plan was long-term. He reminded Xu Qian'an that he didn't need to worry about the rest, and Xu Qian'an nodded and left.

This day was originally the day when the Prime Minister was going to Yunlu Academy to participate in the poetry competition. Xu Xinnian was actively writing poems, hoping to win the first prize, but it was Wang Simu who came. Wang Simu heard about the changes in the court and hurried to Xu New Year's announcement. Upon hearing that Emperor Jing was acting on his emotions, Xu Xinnian unexpectedly changed his cowardly character. He actually took a carriage and rushed to the palace gate to recite ethical and moral principles aloud, which greatly opened the eyes of the Prime Minister.

Once Xu Xinnian opened his mouth, he talked nonstop for two or three hours. The eunuch wanted to punish him, but the Prime Minister tried his best to protect him and asked for an audience with the emperor. However, the emperor did not see him and asked the Prime Minister to send the ministers who had accompanied him back. . After the Prime Minister left, Emperor Jing asked the eunuchs to write down the names of the ministers who did not come to petition that day.

The emperor turned a blind eye to the advice given by all officials. When Lin'an learned the news, she ran to and knelt in her father's bedroom, hoping to accept advice and listen to the people's voices. When the imperial concubine heard this, she panicked and immediately persuaded Lin'an to go back.

Xu Qian'an returned home and was warmly received by his family. After dinner, Xu Xinnian and Xu Qian'an analyzed the emperor's actions in recent days. Emperor Jing was usually very serious, so how could he lose his manners in front of everyone? It was obviously done on purpose. Thinking of this, Xu Qian'an recalled the scene when he met Emperor Jing and felt more and more suspicious.
