Eternal Life: My Millennia in the Jiaofang Division

The palace.

Just when the Holy Tree Mirror successfully transferred the cursed doll to Zhou Yu Niang.

Chu Jinghong, who was practicing, suddenly opened his eyes: "Did you finally succeed?"

"Hahahaha, Zhou Yu Niang, Zhou Yu Niang, you and I have been fighting for hundreds of years and have never been able to determine the winner, but today, you finally fell into the trap of this Saint Ancestor."

"Once the cursed doll enters your body, you will never be able to escape from the palm of this Saint Ancestor's hand. The complete destiny fruit will eventually return to this Saint Ancestor's hands."

He was filled with ecstasy in his eyes, and suddenly shouted: "Come here!"

The palace gate was opened, and the guards walked in: "Greetings to the Saint Ancestor."

"Pass the order down, a grand court meeting will be held tomorrow, and all officials above the fifth rank in Lieyang City must participate. Those who violate the order will be executed!"

"Yes, Saint Ancestor."

The guard took the order and turned to go out.

Chu Jinghong sneered: "Zhou Yu Niang, you have been against this Saint Ancestor in the court for hundreds of years. Tomorrow, this Saint Ancestor will personally kill you in front of all the officials in the court."

"Then I want to see who dares to go against me in the Lieyang Empire?"

"Hmph, tonight is your last night alive, cherish it!"

...

Because of Chu Jinghong's sudden order, many people couldn't sleep all night.

The territory of the Lieyang Empire is really too large, and the population is countless.

To manage such a huge empire, the number of officials naturally required is also an astonishing number.

Therefore, in the past, only officials of the third rank or above in Lieyang City could participate in the grand court meeting.

After all, the Council Hall is so big that too many officials can't stand at all.

But tonight, Chu Jinghong not only suddenly issued an order to convene a grand court meeting, but also required officials of the fifth rank or above to participate.

How many officials of the fifth rank or above in Lieyang City are there?

If they really went, they would probably have to stand in the square outside the Council Hall, right?

Chu Jinghong suddenly summoned so many officials to attend the grand court meeting. What important matter was there?

He couldn't possibly want to abolish the puppet emperor and establish a new emperor, right?

The officials couldn't figure out Chu Jinghong's pulse, so they were worried all night until dawn, and then they put on their official uniforms and rushed to the palace.

The morning sun was rising.

The densely packed officials had already filled the huge square outside the Council Hall.

And on the steps outside the gate of the Council Hall, there were two chairs.

One was naturally the emperor's dragon throne, and the other was the seat of the Saint Ancestor Chu Jinghong.

At this moment, the emperor and Chu Jinghong have not arrived yet, and the officials are

"You said that the Holy Ancestor suddenly convened a grand court meeting and asked so many officials to attend. What is the matter?"

"Who knows? Maybe there is a rebellion somewhere, so we have to send troops to conquer it?"

"No way, even if there was a rebellion in some places in the past, the emperor and his superiors would discuss it and send troops directly. Why would they summon so many people?"

"If it is not to send troops to quell the rebellion, what else could it be?"

"Hey, it's because I can't figure it out, so I didn't sleep all night last night!"

"Didn't everyone sleep? Hey, it's really tiring."

At this time, many people looked at the beautiful figure standing at the head of the ministers.

"Do you think the Duke of Zhenguo knows what the Holy Ancestor is going to do?"

"I asked him, and he told us to just wait patiently. Obviously, he knows what's going to happen, but he just doesn't want to say it."

"Wait patiently? Why does this sound a bit creepy? I always have a bad feeling?"

"Yes, the atmosphere in the palace is not right today. I hope nothing serious happens."

At this moment, a team of guards surrounded Chu Jinghong and the emperor and walked to the door of the Council Hall.

After Chu Jinghong sat down, the emperor carefully sat half of his butt on the dragon chair. Who is the emperor?

Officials have long been accustomed to this situation.

At this time, above the clouds above Lieyang City, Shengshu Mingjing and Lei Sima stood side by side and looked down at the palace below.

"What a big commotion."

The Holy Tree Mirror sneered: "This Chu Jinghong is really interesting. If he wants to kill Zhou Yu Niang and seize the Heavenly Fate Dao Fruit, he can just do it directly. Why does he have to hold a big court meeting?"

"Hehe, I think he wants to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, and use Zhou Yu Niang's life to intimidate the court and the public."

Lei Sima laughed: "He has fought with Zhou Yu Niang for hundreds of years, and neither can do anything to the other. Now there are people who support him in the court and the public, but there are also people who support Zhou Yu Niang."

"If he doesn't intimidate them strongly, once he kills Zhou Yu Niang, how can those people continue to do their work obediently? You can't kill them all, right?"

"For such a big country, let alone killing half of the officials at once, even if only one tenth is killed, it is estimated that the world will be in chaos immediately, right?"

"What Lord Lei said is right. It seems that Chu Jinghong is not so proud that he is confused." The Holy Tree Mirror laughed.

…

The square of the Council Hall was silent. The officials were waiting for Chu Jinghong to speak, wanting to know what his purpose was in making such a big scene today?

But Chu Jinghong was watching his nose and his heart, and had no intention of speaking at all.

Instead, the emperor on the dragon throne suddenly coughed lightly and said, "Zhenguogong Zhou Yu Niang, do you know your crime?"

Wow!

There was an uproar at the scene, and many officials became agitated.

Some people looked at Chu Jinghong, while others looked at Zhou Yu Niang. For a moment, everyone's face was solemn.

Who can be an official in the court is not a shrewd person? Although the emperor only said one sentence, the officials have already realized what is going to happen.

They certainly know that this sentence is definitely not what the emperor wants to say, but has been authorized by the Holy Ancestor Chu Jinghong.

Is Chu Jinghong convening a grand court meeting today to finally attack Zhou Yu Niang?

But what is his basis?

The two have been fighting in the court for hundreds of years, but they are still evenly matched and neither can do anything to the other?

So usually in the court, Chu Jinghong and Zhou Yu Niang, at least on the surface, maintain the proper politeness.

But what is going on now?

The emperor actually wants to ask Zhou Yu Niang for her crime as soon as he comes up?

What is Chu Jinghong thinking?

Is it possible that he has mastered some trump card that makes him suddenly confident that he can suppress Zhou Yu Niang and end the hundreds of years of fighting between the two?

The officials were in a solemn mood, and no one dared to speak rashly, for fear of getting into trouble.

At this time, Zhou Yu Niang raised her head and said calmly: "Your Majesty, I wonder what crime I have committed?"

"Don't you know what you have done wrong?"

The emperor sneered and shouted: "Come here."

"I'm here!"

The eunuch in front of the palace immediately saluted.

"Go and bring the box behind the Council Hall, so that the civil and military officials in the court can see what our Lord Zhenguo has done wrong!"

The emperor ordered.

"I obey your order."

The eunuch in front of the palace was obviously prepared, and turned around and walked into the Council Hall with a group of guards...
