Chapter 794: The Eerie Imperial Court

Everyone's expression changed drastically.

Fortunately, Viscount Wei was not too far from Liu Zheng at this moment.

Pei Qianyun was also by his side.

He roared in anger, his twin hammers spinning like a whirlwind, and with a *bang, bang, bang*, he deflected those arrows back.

Viscount Wei had essentially taken a trip through the gates of hell, and all the color had drained from his face.

He dared not clamor any longer.

"Kneel!"

"Kneel to our Emperor!"

That voice sounded once again.

People looked at each other in dismay.

Liu Zheng could only smile bitterly: "The dead are to be respected. This Tuolei was a heroic lord in his time, and his heart was inclined toward Longyan Culture, so kneeling to him is nothing."

Before anyone else could speak, Liu Zheng knelt down without a second word.

He had no concept of hierarchy or rank in his heart.

He simply felt that this Tuolei was also a person worthy of respect. Moreover, if it concerned the life and death of so many people, Liu Zheng did not mind kneeling to this person who had been dead for several hundred years.

There were no other strange emotions in his heart.

He gave a genuine kowtow.

When the others saw this, even Vice Minister Liu had done so, what else was there for them to say?

They knelt and bowed together.

What was surprising was that after this kneeling, the voices that had been rising and falling in their ears vanished all at once.

On the steps, the solemn and grave atmosphere descended once more.

Keep moving!

Pei Qianyun tried taking another step, and sure enough, nothing happened.

Just this?

Viscount Wei wanted to curse.

What kind of ghostly thing is this? If you don't kneel, it kills you?

A wicked sense of humor!

Truly a wicked sense of humor!

The group continued to walk.

At this time, their hearts were still filled with fear of the unknown.

Someone...

There is someone here...

But, who is this person?

Step by step.

Cautiously.

But quite unexpectedly, after they knelt and bowed, this place seemed to have become much milder.

No more traps or terrifying things appeared.

Taihe Hall.

Finally appeared before them.

However, at this one look.

Everyone was instantly horrified.

In Taihe Hall, there was someone.

A person sat steadily on the Dragon Throne, staring fixedly at these intruders.

"This..."

"My God!"

"I..."

People's expressions changed one after another.

Tuolei!

Not only was there someone on the Dragon Throne, but on both sides of Taihe Hall, there also stood many civil and military officials!

Fear began to spread.

Everyone could not help but retreat a few steps.

"Everyone, do not panic!"

Liu Zheng shouted coldly.

"These are not living people!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd looked over one after another.

Sure enough.

Although these people were each vivid and lifelike, when they discovered these intruders, they did not make any movements, nor did they show any changes in expression.

Dead people!

But how could there be such realistic dead people?

Amidst their exclamations, people found it quite incredible.

One must know that these people had already been dead for several hundred years. Their corpses should have long since turned to dust.

Pei Qianyun was bold and ran over in an instant.

Liu Zheng did not even have time to stop her.

Pei Qianyun had already arrived beside those civil and military officials.

She laughed out loud.

One moment she nudged one person's hat.

The next moment she messed with another person's clothes.

Nothing happened.

These dead people did not make any other movements either.

Only then did everyone heave a sigh of relief.

It's fine!

Everyone started to walk around.

The magnificent palace, the lifelike people.

These scenes were presented before people's eyes with incomparable realism.

It felt as if they had suddenly dreamed their way back to those years.

Dreamed their way back several hundred years.

Morning bells and evening drums.

Emperors, ministers.

Attending court.

Discussing affairs of state.

As if in a dream.

Palace lanterns, roof beams, folding screens.

Liu Zheng even felt a sense of historical accumulation rushing toward him.

This was a hero of the Grassland who had spent his whole life striving to integrate into the Longyan Culture.

At this moment, he was sitting quietly on that Dragon Throne.

He was looking at his own empire.

He was looking at these people kneeling before him.

Tiemu Cheng was by his side.

He also had a look of yearning on his face.

Just how powerful and glorious was the Qiang People Royal Court back then?

Everyone was wearing standard-issue official robes.

After being washed by the years, these official robes had surprisingly not weathered away...

Someone was changing them for them.

Everyone.

Could not help but bow in respect.

This was respect for the predecessors.

This was reverence for history.

"If you have matters to report, speak; if not, the court is dismissed!"

Just at this moment.

Suddenly, a voice with a shrill, eunuch-like tone rang out.

Everyone was shaken to the core.

Because this voice was incomparably real.

It was emitted by a real person.

Everyone looked toward the sound.

Sure enough.

They saw an old man with white hair, dressed in eunuch robes, slowly walking out from beside the Dragon Throne.

Boom!

Everyone was shaken to the core.

This was a real person.

This was not a dead person.

This was not a monkey either.

A white-haired, elderly eunuch.

He walked over tremblingly, the teeth in his mouth already gone.

But he still tried his best to appear spirited.

Over a hundred thousand people just watched him quietly.

He saw these people, and a strange smile appeared on his pale face.

"You've all come..."

He strained his voice.

This sentence was spoken on behalf of the emperor.

Everyone looked at each other in dismay.

This scene was indeed a bit eerie.

"How is the flood in the Jiangnan region? Has the relief grain from the Governor of Jiangnan arrived?"

The old eunuch continued to strain his voice.

He was very immersed in the act.

Liu Zheng and the others almost laughed out loud.

A bizarre atmosphere.

An atmosphere of being immersed in the act.

Liu Zheng stepped forward and said loudly, "Your Majesty, all matters in Jiangnan have been arranged, but regarding the spring plowing, there should be arrangements..."

"Agreed!"

The old eunuch responded with a sound, then began to whisper into Tuolei's ear...

Everyone was immersed in the act.

The dead Tuolei remained expressionless.

Yet, the old eunuch was nodding frequently.

It seemed as if Tuolei were truly giving him some instructions...

Silence.

The entire scene was deathly silent.

The old eunuch finally straightened his body.

A smile that did not reach his eyes appeared on his face.

"The war in the Western Regions is critical, and manpower is insufficient... we cannot send reinforcements..."

"Vice Minister Liu, do you know your crime?"

"What?"

Everyone, especially Liu Zheng, turned pale upon hearing this.
