Empress Liang looked at the contents and moves on the stone tablet, memorized them with her heart, and engraved all the contents in her mind...
After about a stick of incense, Empress Liang Zhao had memorized the mental training methods and martial arts moves.
[This martial art is incomplete. It is missing the last two moves, which are the direct attack on Huanglong and the dragon across thousands of mountains. If you have the opportunity to complete this skill, please remember to burn a copy for me. Also let me see the complete "Shan Hai Boxing Sutra"...]
"Taizu, don't worry, if I can get the last two styles, I will definitely burn them for you."
Empress Liang Zhao nodded slightly and murmured softly.
[There is a stone gate behind this stone monument, which is the headquarters of the Invincible Sect. It is extremely dangerous inside, and it is the most dangerous place in the entire core area. My death back then was also related to the stone gate. You must not go in. 】
[If one day, you can break through to the first level, or even become a heavenly being above the first level, you may be able to find out. 】
[I also have some guesses about that stone gate. It may contain the inherited treasure of the Invincible Sect, it may also contain the last two styles of the "Shan Hai Fist Sutra", it may also contain other earth-level martial arts, and even some magical elixirs. Medicine, but never go in before the first level, remember! 】
The content on the stele stops abruptly here. The last few strokes seem to be in a hurry, and the fonts are flying and phoenixes, which attracts people's imagination.
"Taizu said that his fall was related to the Shimen, but what exactly is inside the Shimen?"
"But you used the word guess?"
"Did Taizu go in? Or didn't he go in?"
Empress Liang Zhao was also a little confused. These stone tablets were behind Wu Kuangge's remains, but it was obvious that Taizu died earlier than Wu Kuangge. In that case, how did he leave the stone tablets without the other party noticing?
Why didn't Wu Kuangge destroy this stone monument until his death?
One question after another came to mind.
Everything is full of strangeness...
"Forget it, let's not think about it for now. Since Taizu said that we can only try it after the first level, I still don't take risks easily."
"Taizu said that the world will undergo great changes after nine generations... The power of dragon veins can help our Dahuang Liang family get out of trouble, but what should we do?"
Empress Liang Zhao silently exited the cave, looked at the desolate core area, and sighed deeply.
"Perhaps I am not strong enough to discover the secret here."
"Forget it, let's go back first. It's not a failure. At least we got the incomplete "Shan Hai Fist Sutra"."
Empress Liang Zhao returned along the original route, left Jiulong Mountain, passed the secret passage, and returned to Wuji Palace.
Empress Liang Zhao didn't waste any time. She packed up her clothes, opened the palace door, and strode out.
The eunuchs and maids waiting in the distance quickly stood up straight and saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty!"
"Inform the cabinet scholar Zhou Zhenwen and ask him to come to the imperial study to see me."
Empress Liang Zhao strode towards the imperial study, giving instructions as she walked.
"Yes, Your Majesty." A eunuch responded and ran quickly in the direction of Wenyuan Pavilion.
Wenyuan Pavilion, chief bachelor's room.
Zhou Zhenwen sat in front of the case, holding a wolf hair brush, silently correcting the memorial document, writing on a small piece of paper, and pasted it on the opposite side of the memorial document.
The system adopted by the Dahuang Cabinet was similar to that of the Ming Dynasty in Zhou Zhenwen's previous life. Cabinet scholars could participate in correcting memorials, but they had no decision-making power, only voting power. Military and state affairs required the emperor's approval and seal before they could be finalized.
The so-called voting power means that before sending the emperor's instructions, the cabinet academicians will use small ink to write the review suggestions on the paper, attach it to the memorial document, and send it to the emperor for review.
If the emperor thinks the content is appropriate, he will sign it, and the content on the draft will become the content of the emperor's approval to the courtiers.
If the emperor thinks it is inappropriate, he will write down his opinions and return them to the cabinet for rewriting by the cabinet ministers.
Of course, if the emperor doesn't mind the trouble, he will choose to review it himself and write down his replies.
Precisely because the cabinet only has the power to draw up votes and make corrections, but does not have the right to deliver approval, it needs to cooperate with the eunuchs.
The reason why Zhou Zhenwen was able to suppress other parties was because he chose to cooperate with Wei Xian, the eunuch who had the power to wear red.
Being able to correct memorials, and being able to wear red seals, the two are combined into one. To a certain extent, the two of them are equivalent to the emperor's opinions.
Now, the emperor has not regained his power, and the memorial still needs to be sent to Cining Palace for review by the Queen Mother.
"In the case of Qingzhou, it seems that the young emperor is planning to let the supervisory censor Feng Qian find evidence and take down Qingzhou prefect Zhang Qi in one fell swoop..."
"However, this Zhang Qi has been guarding Qingzhou for many years and has close relationships with major aristocratic families. He is also supported by the alien force of the Sirius Kingdom. I am afraid that he will not be easily captured. This matter may cause quite a stir."
Zhou Zhenwen had a clear mind and could guess Emperor Xuan's little thoughts at once.
But precisely because he had guessed it, Zhou Zhenwen sneered at this method.
"If they are governors from other places, they will be arrested by the supervisory censor. If there are local governors to check and balance each other, they will not cause any trouble."
"But Zhang Qi, the governor of Qingzhou, is no ordinary person!"
"Chen Jia, the governor of Qingzhou, probably won't be able to deal with him."
"I can't control this prefect!"
Zhou Zhenwen put down his brush, looked at the memorial sent by Zhang Qi, the governor of Qingzhou, and murmured.
The content of this memorial is actually very simple, it is to ask for money to expand armaments.
Over the years, Qingzhou has continuously asked the court for money to expand its armaments, saying that military weapons need to be replaced and that cities and passes in various places are in disrepair and need to be repaired.
Qingzhou, as a major grain storage state and close to Yanzhou and Xuzhou, was also an important place to resist foreign invasion, so the imperial court agreed to Qingzhou's requests.
After all, the reason is legitimate and the court is not short of money, so it will naturally not refuse.
"Chen Jia, the governor of Qingzhou, has poor control over Qingzhou. Normally, the governor should be the actual controller of the state and county, and the governor is just the governor of the county. But in Qingzhou, the situation is reversed!"
"I still remember the Han Dynasty in the previous life. After the governor became more powerful, the emperor also issued an order to straighten the position of the governor and officially change the name to Zhou Mu. This is how Qingzhou Mu and Xuzhou Mu came to be..."
Zhou Zhenwen took out the map of Qingzhou and read it silently, thoughtfully.
The so-called governor is actually an imperial envoy appointed by the emperor to inspect various states and counties to prevent the eunuchs from committing theft and becoming lawless.
The prefect, also known as the county prefect, actually has limited control over the entire Qingzhou territory.
Qingzhou has a total of 14 counties, and the Qingzhou County of Qingzhou Prefect is just the largest one among them.
The governor can supervise the entire Qingzhou, while the Qingzhou prefect can only control Qingzhou County.
Therefore, in essence, the status of the governor is still higher than that of the prefect.
However, since the prefect is the actual controller of the county and the governor is the person who supervises the prefect, there are some subtle changes in power.
When the prefect has a deep foundation and strong local power, it is difficult for the governor to take action against this kind of prefect, because the governor is essentially used to supervise the prefect, not to command the prefect.
When the power of the prefect is insufficient and the foundation is not deep, the governor can command and manipulate the prefect at will, as if he is above the prefect.
The two official positions are in a state of opposition, which can be regarded as maintaining a balance in the officialdom.
"Based on the current situation, Qingzhou Governor Zhang Qi is obviously out of control."
"He can quietly empty out the entire Qingzhou's grain reserves. He secretly controls at least eight counties, more than half. In other words, this Zhang Qi is the actual controller of Qingzhou, not Qingzhou governor Chen Jia."
Zhou Zhenwen took out a writing brush and marked the locations of the granaries on the map, and also circled the counties corresponding to the granaries, and came to this conclusion.
"If this is the case, if this Zhang Qi has a disobedient heart, the power he controls is enough to cause a turmoil in the entire Qingzhou..."
While Zhou Zhenwen was thinking, an eunuch walked in quickly, bowed and saluted:
"Master Zhou, please come with me. Your Majesty is waiting for you in the imperial study."
Hearing this, Zhou Zhenwen frowned slightly and ordered, "I'll tidy up my clothes and you wait for me outside."
"Yes." The eunuch left the room respectfully without saying anything else.
For him, a little eunuch serving the emperor, Zhou Zhenwen was a big shot, a big shot he couldn't afford to offend.
Zhou Zhenwen was not impatient, but methodically put the drawings on the table back into the drawer, sorted the memorials and put them in their proper places, then stood up, sorted out his clothes briefly, and walked out of the room.
"Let's go." Zhou Zhenwen greeted and walked towards the outside of Wenyuan Pavilion.
The little eunuch quickly followed.
For courtiers like them, the location of the imperial study room is very familiar to them.
Zhou Zhenwen is naturally no exception.
In fact, there was absolutely no need to let the little eunuch lead the way, but the other party did not dare to let Zhou Zhenwen lead the way for him. He hurriedly ran to Zhou Zhenwen, nodded and bent down, and guided the other party respectfully.
Zhou Zhenwen did not stop him and silently followed the young eunuch through the imperial garden to the door of the imperial study.
"Master Zhou, please wait here while I go to pass the message."
Zhou Zhenwen nodded slightly and said, "Okay."
The young eunuch bowed to Zhou Zhenwen and walked into the imperial study.
