Hearing Emperor Yu's whisper, the expressions of the officials who had previously criticized Li Hao suddenly changed.

Those who defended Li Hao were also slightly startled.

When that young man became famous in Liangzhou, some people praised him and said that this boy can defeat a million troops!

At that time, everyone felt that this statement was exaggerated and too exaggerated. After all, what is the concept of a million-strong elite army? It can sweep across the border and look at everything!

Later I discovered that it was indeed too exaggerated and exaggerated.

How could a mere million-strong army be comparable to that young man?!

Can a million-strong army save Liangzhou?

Can Qingzhou be saved? Can Youzhou be saved?

Neither can.

The Li family gathered three million elite troops from across the state, but they were beaten back and forth in Qingzhou. In the end, they could only retreat and huddle in Qingzhou City. With the blessing of the top magic circle, they could barely survive.

And within less than a day of his appearance, the young man killed the demon leader, the Aragami's clone, and cut off the countless demon tides outside Qingzhou City with one sword stroke.

Is this a strength that can only be filled by the number of people?

Just like the real person in Qiandao Palace, who was in charge of Dayu, he was a being that no amount of troops would dare to offend.

Whether it's millions, tens of millions, or tens of millions, it's useless. In front of such a top powerhouse, the human sea tactic is meaningless!

Even if this human sea tactic is composed of top elites, with the Four Realms as generals and the Three Immortals as vanguards, it is useless.

Therefore, Emperor Yu's words now, although his voice was soft, made everyone wake up.

The eight million disciples of Buddhism, such a majestic scale, sounds shocking, covering nineteen states, but if you think about it a little, it depends on who you are comparing to.

Compared with that young man, it is indeed as Emperor Yu said, not enough, far from enough!

Xia Linglong's thoughts returned, and she immediately felt her waist straighten up, and her eyes brightened slightly.

The Lord Buddha is dead, how can eight million disciples be replaced by one Li Hao?

At this time, the denounced minister also came to his senses and looked a little ugly. There were tens of thousands of Buddhist disciples in every state and city. There were hundreds of cities in each state, and the number of people was huge.

If other people were faced with the mighty power of Buddhism, they would definitely bow their heads and give way, but that young man did not.

His status is already as transcendent as the real person in Qiandao Palace.

"Your Majesty, although eight million Buddhist disciples may not be able to compete with this young man, he is not acting righteously!"

The minister who had previously condemned gritted his teeth and continued:

"It's just a third-class Duke who dares to kill Lord Buddha today, and he will dare to kill us in the future. Such a person is feeding a tiger into trouble!"

"That's right, there is no kingdom in the world. If we shrink from its strength, then we can also choose to avoid and shrink from monsters. What's the difference?"

When Xia Linglong heard this, she was almost so angry that her soul rushed out of her head, and she flew into a rage:

"A bunch of bastards! What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Do you really care about the little profit that Buddhism gives you and ignore everything? Is it possible that you want to invite a real person to kill General Haotian, so that a hero who saved the three states will be flattered by you treacherous ministers?

Get rid of the words?!"

"It is really foolish and ridiculous to have treacherous ministers in power."

Some great scholars were also laughed out of anger.

They know that these people are not stupid, but bad!

It sounds like an extremely stupid statement, but in fact it contains evil intentions and has its own little calculation.

If you don't say this, how can you keep your share of profits?

"General Xia, this is above the court. You are openly insulting us. I am a third-class marquis after all, and I cannot be insulted lightly!"

One minister said angrily.

Xia Linglong's eyes were filled with evil. If she hadn't been in the court, she would have wanted to kill these people with a sword due to her temperament.

"To say that you are stupid is really an insult to you. I would like to ask, now that the demonic and foreign troubles have not been resolved, if that young man is deprived of his honor for this reason, based on your criticism of that young man, since he is so stubborn and deprived of his honor,

, how can you not rebel against the imperial court?"

Xia Linglong's eyes were cold and she said word by word: "If he helps the demon, who among you would dare to take the responsibility?"

"If this is really the case, then we can only ask a real person to kill him!"

A minister said.

Xia Linglong was so angry that she wanted to laugh, but her expression turned colder and she said:

"Really, then it depends on whether you can ask me to do it or not. He can kill the Buddha. His strength is not yet known, but he is at least in the top Taiping Dao realm, and most likely even in the Hearing Dao realm, which is comparable to real people.

, it is unknown whether the real person can suppress it, but you are quite confident."

"Since you stand and talk without pain, it seems that killing someone is as easy as mowing grass. It's quite simple. Today you propose to deprive him of his honors. Then let your Majesty come and announce to the world that it was your idea. He wanted to sneak into the other party's Taiping Dao realm.

It’s not that difficult in the imperial city. When we find your residence, can you explain it to him?”

After hearing Xia Linglong's words, the faces of everyone who criticized Li Hao suddenly changed.

Just kidding, who dares to provoke a madman who even the Lord Buddha would dare to kill?

"Protecting the Imperial City is the business of your Divine General's Mansion. It would be better for you to shirk the matter completely."

"We are also speaking for justice. The Lord Buddha cannot just die in such an unexplained way. Otherwise, how should those Buddhist disciples treat him? Who will calm down the chaos that will occur everywhere?"

Someone continued.

Xia Linglong sneered and was about to speak when Emperor Yu's voice sounded:

"alright."

Just two words stopped this farcical verbal argument.

"Among the Buddhist disciples, is there anyone who can replace General Haotian in slaying demons?" Emperor Yu asked calmly.

How could the ministers who denounced Li Hao care about each other?

Lord Buddha was the leader, but all the leaders were dead.

"Now the demons are watching, it's summer again, there is drought in Jizhou, and there are refugees in Cangzhou..."

Emperor Yu's voice revealed a refreshing calmness, and he said in an unhurried and unhurried manner: "Everyone's opinions should be considered for the sake of the world. If there is no world, how can there be justice?"

Hearing Emperor Yu's words, Xia Linglong and others were secretly happy.

Those who denounced Li Hao looked ugly, but they also understood that what Xia Linglong and the others said was indeed reasonable.

The young man's current status and strength are not something that can be easily manipulated.

"But under my iron heel, Dayu, all those who violate laws and disciplines will be brought to justice!"

Emperor Yu's words suddenly changed and he said coldly: "Anyone who violates the laws of the country will be punished according to the laws of Dayu. No one will be spared. Even if it is a crime committed by the royal family, those who should be chopped off will be killed.

, will never tolerate it!”

"Credit belongs to work, dereliction of duty belongs to dereliction of duty. You can make up for the demerit by making up for it, but it cannot make up for it!"

Hearing this, Xia Linglong and others were startled, their faces turned pale, and they looked at Emperor Yu in shock.

The people who had previously criticized Li Hao were stunned, with joy in their eyes.

Emperor Yu's eyes swept across everyone's faces and said slowly: "I am deeply saddened by the murder of Lord Buddha. Starting today, with me as the leader, meat will be banned in the palace for seven days to honor the heroic soul of Lord Buddha!"

"In seven days, I will go to Shōtoku Temple to burn incense."

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

The people who had previously condemned couldn't help shouting.

Xia Linglong's face turned pale and she suddenly raised her head to look at His Majesty.

Emperor Yu noticed her gaze, but his expression did not change. He just said slowly:

"My dear friends, don't worry. Lord Buddha's merits are immeasurable. I can't let him die in an unknown way. I will hand this matter over to the Demon Suppression Department and the Criminal Department for investigation together. There are many doubts about this matter, and we must investigate it for him."

Clearly."

"?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the court was stunned.

The shock and anger in Xia Linglong's heart had not yet been expressed, but she was stunned when she heard these words.

Soon, she woke up, became a little dumb, and looked at His Majesty with strange eyes.

It has to be you...you are really good at talking.

The people who were shouting earlier were a little dumbfounded, what does this mean? What does this mean?!

The Lord Buddha died completely, so does it still need to be investigated? So many Buddhist disciples witnessed it, so does it still need to be investigated?

"Your Majesty, the Lord Buddha was killed in full public view. So many Buddhist disciples saw it with their own eyes. How can this matter be false?" someone couldn't help but ask.

Emperor Yu did not speak, but a minister from the crowd stood up and said coldly:
To be continued...
