Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1291 - 7: The Secrets of Revival and the Four Requirements for Ascension!

"During this period, Beichen King even sent a letter, but since we were in the Shensu Cave Heaven, the message was delayed."

"And then?" Luo Hou King frowned, "Who went to capture the Beichen King?"

To apprehend a military officer sealing king, and he, the Grand Commandant, wasn't informed?

"No one was sent to capture him," Dong Ze said, "The Beichen King imprisoned himself in a carriage, entered the capital to plead guilty."

"It is said that Beichen King invited numerous experts to his royal palace, yet none could break the Yuanfeng Skill left behind by Zhao Xing, nor could they rescue his wife and brother-in-law safely, so he bowed his head and admitted his mistake, imprisoning himself to the capital."

"Hmm? Zhao Xing actually has such capabilities now?" Luo Hou King was surprised: "He's progressed significantly, changing almost once a year."

The Beichen King is a super grade, and the Northern Territory also has many experts in the Fate Palace Realm.

For over half a month, they couldn't safely rescue the Shen Tu siblings suppressed by Zhao Xing, it sounds almost like a fairy tale!

"Truly disgraceful." Luo Hou King snorted.

It's disgraceful to make a mistake, even more disgraceful to not contain it!

"I had warned Qin Feng not to overly indulge his relatives, now look, he took a great fall."

The powerful have the right to pardon, the Beichen King, as a super grade, usually isn't affected by ordinary mistakes.

But for this matter, either it doesn't come to court, or once it does, the privilege is just a facade.

The Death Exemption Token never truly exempts from death.

The Beichen King is on the chopping block, with the blade in the hands of Emperor Wu and Zhao Xing, this time he must lose at least two taels of flesh.

"Grand Commandant, he is almost at Fengjing, both the Grand Minister of Agriculture and His Majesty have sent letters, inquiring about your opinion on the matter." Dong Ze looked at Luo Hou King.

The Beichen King is from the military officer system, which means Luo Hou King is in charge, just like when Zhao Xing dealt with Lou Zhenyun, Dong WenZhuo, and Wu She, it was mainly based on his opinion.

Luo Hou King glanced over the detailed information, then said: "Reply to His Majesty and the Grand Minister of Agriculture. Say that Beichen King has been guarding Yu Yang Heaven, always battling Outer Demons, and even without merit, he has labored greatly. My suggestion is, he was implicated by his wife's family this time, focus the punishment on them."

Dong Ze nodded: "Hope Beichen King can recognize his situation this time."

"Hope so," Luo Hou King looked at the hurricane ahead, "If he dares to feel resentment, not even an Immortal can save him."

...

"Sinner Qin Feng, pays respects to His Majesty!" At Fengjing's court, Beichen King kneeled in shackles.

All civil and military officials couldn't help but glance at the kneeling Beichen King.

In the middle of the court session, Beichen King was suddenly brought in, voluntarily pleading guilty, shocking many.

"Beichen King, has he really come to the capital to plead guilty?"

"What did the Grand Minister of Agriculture do, he seems so obedient."

"It's said he was subdued by the Grand Minister of Agriculture, and had no choice but to plead guilty."

"Beichen King is one of the eight super grades of Great Zhou, and he couldn't handle the Grand Minister of Agriculture's spell?"

"King Zhao is impressive!!"

The ministers were in a heated discussion, Ji Che, on the throne, glanced at Zhao Xing, standing second to the lower left, and couldn't help but give an appreciative look: Big brother, you truly are something!

Zhao Xing's expression remained calm; dealing with a mere Beichen King was a simple matter.

Ji Che pretended to be surprised and asked: "Beichen King, what crime have you committed?"

Beichen King, with his son, bowed: "I, negligent in discipline, enabled the dominance of my wife's family, fortunately, the Grand Minister of Agriculture intervened to prevent great disaster. As a Prince, I failed to benefit the people of my fiefdom, instead causing chaos, thus I plead for Your Majesty's punishment."

Ji Che listened, then looked at Wu She: "Chief Justice."

"I am here." Wu She stepped forward.

"What punishment do you deem suitable for Beichen King?"

Wu She replied without expression: "I believe Beichen King let his wife's family disrupt politics, the root lies with Beichen King, he should be stripped of his title and reduced to a commoner."

"His wife, Shen Tulan, as Queen, meddled in politics, her brother, Shen Tuming, as Prime Minister, ignored the law, both should be executed as a warning."

Hearing this, Beichen King's eldest son, Qin Ling, kneeling beside him, immediately felt his legs weaken, panic-stricken.

But Beichen King maintained his composure.

The hall fell into utter silence.

Stripping title, demotion of rank, execution of Queen and Prime Minister, each word struck the heart, leaving people speechless.

Ji Che observed the reactions of the ministers below, feeling quite satisfied internally.

He inquired Wu She for a harsh opinion, so he could bestow grace.

Though the outcome was pre-discussed, the process is necessary, and it is part of the warning.

Of course, he couldn't truly carry it out, birthing a super grade isn't easy, unless they kill Beichen King immediately, otherwise pushing too hard would mean wasting a great asset if he fled.

Ji Che said: "Beichen King Qin Feng."

"I am here."

"You were granted the title by the late emperor, I acknowledge your countless contributions and hardships in guarding Yu Yang Heaven, barely returning home, and you promptly noticed the rebellion in Beichen Country. As you voluntarily accepted punishment, you shall be demoted to Duke."

"Except for the four counties around the Royal City of Beichen Country, the rest will be directly governed by the court, you shall only have a fiefdom, not a feudal land, do you accept this punishment?"

Beichen King bowed: "I accept."

"As for your wife's brother." Ji Che then looked at Zhao Xing: "Grand Minister of Agriculture, you witnessed the rebellion in the Royal City firsthand, how do you propose we deal with them?"

Zhao Xing glanced at Beichen King, who immediately lowered his head: "I plead with the Grand Minister of Agriculture to spare her life, lifting the spell since she is my first wife."

Zhao Xing also adhered to the principle of not pushing too hard, and immediately spoke to Ji Che: "I can restore Shen Tulan's human form, but her title as Queen should be removed, even her status as a dukedom's lady should not be kept, she shall be confined to the deep palace, never to step outside again."
