Southern Xinjiang, the Blood River Sect's main altar.
The fighting inside Eagle Snake Mountain has basically calmed down.
Most of the people in the Blood River Sect were killed, and only a few were left alive for questioning.
Yang Qingyuan looked at the hollowed-out Eagle Snake Mountain and couldn't help but sigh, "This is a big project!"
To hollow out this mountain and ensure that it does not collapse will not only consume huge manpower and material resources, but also require extremely high architectural talent by the person in charge. If it were a little off, the whole mountain might collapse.
However, this mountain did not seem to have changed during the encounter just now, which shows that it is strong.
And its scale shows that the Blood River Sect's power in southern Xinjiang has reached a terrifying level.
If we fail to detect the location of the Blood River Sect this time and allow it to develop, the Central Plains martial arts community will be in trouble in the future.
This is the reflection of the masters who came together to exterminate the Blood River Sect. The Blood River Sect cannot be dealt with by any one sect alone.
Among the people killed by Zhengdao this time alone, there were four people from Fa Tian Xiang Di Realm and no less than six people from Dong Xuan.
This strength may be comparable to that of the Shaolin sect in the entire Central Plains Zhengdao martial arts world, but judging from Yang Qingyuan's intelligence, it is probably slightly inferior.
That old monk who likes to sweep the floor is definitely not as good as his senior brother.
Zhang Laodao is not only a master of the gold system, Yang Qingyuan now feels that the old Taoist priest is more like Zhenwu Dangmo Tianzun coming to the world.
No kidding, this old Taoist priest's cultivation level is really outrageous!
When Yang Qingyuan was in Wudang, he tried all kinds of martial arts. Except for Jian Twenty-three, the immortal sword, he used all his martial arts skills, but he still couldn't force Lao Zhang's second hand.
Rather than saying that Lao Zhang is the great master in a certain book, it would be better to say that these Zhang Sanfeng are the projections of Lao Zhang in the book.
Having said that, the sweeping monk in the Sutra Pavilion of Shaolin Temple should not be underestimated.
Shaolin's hidden masters, whether they are white-robed monks crossing the society or immortal monks crossing the Dharma, are all in the court's files.
Only the unknown old monk did not leave any trace in the court files.
In the Wudang Cave Xuan Realm, including those who married in, there are six people. In the Wudang Sect's Fa Tian Xiang Di Realm, the only two people in the Wudang Cave Xuan Realm's natal family are Li Taibai and Yang Qingyuan. Without counting Lao Zhang, Wudang is not as good as Shaolin.
But even with Shaolin's solid foundation strength, it is by no means a match for the Blood River Sect.
If the Blood River Sect is allowed to develop for another twenty years, perhaps all the righteous martial arts in the world will have to join forces to deal with it!
While Yang Qingyuan was observing the blood pool at the bottom of Eagle Snake Mountain, a disciple of the Human Sect held a piece of paper and said to Yang Qingyuan.
"Uncle Qingyuan Taishi, here are simple statistics about this battle."
After Yang Qingyuan took it, he looked at it carefully and saw that the small regular script in his hand was quite good. Then he read in a low voice, "... Disciples of the Yuan Hua Realm of the Renzong, Xu Ming, Xu Jie, Xu Cheng... Disciples of the Jing Nian Zen Sect, Huizhong and Huixi. ...The six gates chase the wind and catch the leader Li Decheng, Zhao Lang...The Shaolin School is hollow, fantasy, and blank..."
No less than twenty-three people died in the Yuan Hua realm alone. These are the backbone of the force!
There were five masters of the Dongxuan Realm who died in the battle on the righteous side. Masters of the Dongxuan Realm of Renzong and Shaolin Sandu, and there was also an eminent monk of the Dongxuan Realm in Jing Nian Zen Monastery died together with Dongxuan Realm masters of the Blood River Sect.
In fact, strictly speaking, Shaolin's losses cannot be described by three caves.
Although Sandu is in the Cave Mysterious Realm, the three people's Vajra Demon Subduing Circles can combine to trap and kill the Heavenly and Elephant Realm. This kind of combat power is even more precious.
The death of the three people was equivalent to the Shaolin Temple breaking a master of the realm of heaven and earth. This was a huge loss!
If the explanation is not good, the group of monks in Shaolin Temple will think that they are targeting them!
Two Dongxuan, one with Fa Tian Xiang Earth level combat power, were exhausted, Zhang Xuanqing was seriously injured, and Liu Dufeng and Zhuge Zhengwo were poisoned.
The loss of high-end combat power on the Righteous side is also considerable!
Of course, the results of the battle were also fruitful. The Blood River Sect lost four masters of the Heavenly Realm and the Heavenly Realm, including the Fourth Elder, the Fifth Elder, the Seventh Elder, and the Xianyang Divine Sword Lin Zaimu.
The Dongxuan Realm was almost wiped out.
"It's a pity that four of them ran away!" Yang Qingyuan said a smile on his face halfway through his words, and the two young swordsmen coldly stepped into the main hall of the Blood River Sect.
"jingle!"
A broken sword and a broken knife were thrown on the ground by Gai Nie, while Wei Zhuang threw two bloody heads on the ground.
"Gai has lived up to Brother Yang's trust. These two people wanted to run away, but our senior brothers stopped them!"
The young man Zongheng was worthy of being a character who had already entered the sword poem before he showed up. Although he had some external injuries on his body, they were not injured on the flesh. Yang Qingyuan looked at the Qi of the two of them and found that there were no serious internal injuries.
It had only been more than half an hour since the two people had escaped. The young men Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang had already killed the two people. This potential was indeed astonishing.
"Thank you for your hard work, you two!"
Gai Nie was still very modest, "Brother Yang is serious, but the martial arts of these two are not as good as my senior brothers. It really took a lot of effort."
"..." Yang Qingyuan didn't want to speak.
The classics are not inferior to me, nor are they inferior to you two, so why are the swords broken and the knives broken now? ! Why is his head missing now? !
It wasn’t just these two people who came back, there were two more people.
"Bang!" There was a sound like a sack falling to the ground. A Dongxuan Realm of the Blood River Sect was thrown to the ground by Liu Meizi, who had been knocked unconscious by Liu Meizi.
"Brother Yang, if you catch someone alive, it should be more useful than a dead one!"
Killing the opponent and capturing the opponent alive are two operations with different levels of difficulty.
If you can capture your opponent alive during the fight, it means that there is a huge gap between the opponent's martial arts and yours, and you can completely suppress the opponent in light kung fu.
Liu Wangshu's martial arts was already superior to that of the young man.
The current uncle and second uncle are still too young. After joining forces, they will probably be able to compete with Black and White Xuanjian in their heyday, much better than they were four years ago!
And Liu Wangshu, like Black and White Xuanjian, is a woman at the peak of Dongxuan Realm's combat power.
That's why Liu Wangshu was able to capture Dongxuan alive.
"boom!"
Another Dongxuan from the Blood River Sect was thrown to the ground. His hands and feet were sealed by ice, and the meridians around his body were also sealed.
When he landed on the ground, Dongxuan landed on his face, but before that, he had been beaten with a black nose and a swollen face!
Originally, this Blood River Cave Mysterious Realm was already hopeless, but when I saw an unconscious person with no idea of life or death, and two people whose bodies and heads were separated, who were completely dead, I suddenly felt that I was quite lucky, and met a reasonable person. of.
Regardless of the process, at least he is still alive!
"Done!"
A little lolita dressed in green clapped her jade hands, as if she was not the one who had just carried someone. After doing this, she looked at Liu Wangshu in a demonstrative manner.
When she was still Da Xiaomeng, Liu Wangshu and her were in tit-for-tat confrontation.
But now she has become Xiao Xiaomeng, and Liu Wangshu cannot regard her as a rival at all. A young girl with yellow hair... a girl with white hair cannot make a big impact.
"Well done! With a living mouth, I should be able to ask more questions!"
Yang Qingyuan walked to the two caves and squatted down slowly, with an arrogant smile on his face.
"Let's talk!"
…
——
In the capital of God, the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment.
Speaking of which, the Ministry of Justice has been without a chancellor for three years. It's not that there is no candidate, but the cabinet and the emperor simply don't want to find a puppet.
After Yang Qingyuan left, Di Zhiyuan was recommended to the Ministry of Justice as Zuo Shilang, in charge of the daily affairs of the Ministry of Justice.
Cao Shouzheng, the original Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, was removed from his position and honors and executed according to law because of the Yu Yanyi case. The two ministers of the Ministry of Punishment involved in the case, as well as all the ministers and foreign ministers of the Ministry of Punishment, were investigated and dealt with in accordance with the law.
The entire criminal department was suddenly empty!
The Ministry of Punishment was originally the territory of Emperor Li Zhu Zhankun. Among the first and third lineages of Yong'an, only Yang Qingyuan had the highest level of legal punishment, and his official rank was just right.
It was perfect for Yang Qingyuan to take over the Criminal Department!
Just out of political compromise and Yang Qingyuan's own plan, he chose to withdraw from the power center of Shendu.
For a while, Emperor Wang Hua and Emperor Linde had no particularly good candidates who could shoulder the burden of the Ministry of Punishment.
The Ministry of Punishment is in charge of the political orders of punishment in the world, in order to praise and rectify the people. The appropriateness of all laws and regulations, listening to the rules of entry and exit, determining the appropriateness of forgiveness and slowness, and the amount of stolen goods, penalties, and recovery of loans are all carried out by each department. The minister, the minister, led his subordinates to make a decision, to deal with major matters and small matters, so as to suppress the country's offenders.
As one of the six departments, the importance of the Department of Punishment is self-evident.
Just when Wang Hua and Emperor Linde were hesitating, Yang Qingyuan recommended Di Zhiyuan.
This person has worked with Yang Qingyuan for many years, is proficient in criminal law, and is good at solving cases. He even revised the Criminal Law Amendment of Da Zhou with Yang Qingyuan.
Moreover, at that time, Di Zhiyuan was the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, a fourth-rank official. He moved to the right to serve as the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment and took charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Punishment. It was a natural progression and no one could say anything.
In this way, Di Zhiyuan became the top leader of the Punishment Department, and also brought the Anti-Theft Department and Mingqiu Department of Dali Temple to the Punishment Department.
Today, he is already the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment and knows the affairs of the Minister of Punishment!
After two more years of qualifications, he can be promoted to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and become an important minister in charge of the Ministry of Justice.
Just when Di Zhiyuan was busy reviewing death penalty cases, a magician from the six doors hurried to the lobby.
"Sir, there is urgent information coming from Tianji Tower! Level, top secret!"
Di Zhiyuan, who was reading the files carefully with his head down, suddenly raised his head when he heard this.
Although the Six Gates are under the control of the Ministry of Punishment, Liu Dufeng, the chief arrester of the Six Gates, is also Yang Qingyuan's younger brother, and he has always done an outstanding job, so Di Zhiyuan has never been very involved in the affairs of the world under the leadership of the Six Gates.
Although he also has martial arts skills, it is mainly for physical fitness. It is a bit embarrassing to ask him to take charge of Jianghu affairs.
Di Zhiyuan knew very well that in specific practice, it was a taboo for laymen to lead experts. He has never had any say in Jianghu affairs and has always delegated power to Liu Dufeng.
Recently, Liu Dufeng was invited by Yang Qingyuan to take his masters south to deal with the evil sects in Jianghu.
The affairs within the six doors are jointly taken care of by several six-door magicians.
The divine catchers of the six gates are either masters of the Dongxuan Realm, or they are experienced head catchers who have made great achievements.
The ordinary information would not alarm Di Zhiyuan, the right minister of the Ministry of Justice.
Now that the detective has personally brought the information, it seems that things are not small!
"I wonder what is recorded in it?!"
Di Zhiyuan came down from the main hall and led the six-door god to take a seat in the side hall.
"Master Di, this information is top secret. Among the six gates, only the Chief Constable and Zhang and Liu Shenzhou are qualified to view it. Then there are you and Mr. Song from Dali Temple! The Chief Constable is heading to Southern Xinjiang. Both Zhang Shenping and Liu Shenping have gone out to handle the case and have not returned, so now you can only open it and check it in person!"
Lord Song of Dali Temple is Song Huifu, the current Shaoqing of Dali Temple. He is the actual controller of Dali Temple now.
As for the official position of Dali Temple Minister, it was held remotely by an employee named Yang who only received a salary and did not work.
The so-called remote leadership means that one only holds the title and does not serve in person. For example, the governors of the Sixth Army's governor's office are led remotely by the chief governors of the Tiance Army, Longwu Army, Shenwu Army, and Shence Army.
To sum up, even if you occupy a seat and don’t work, you can still get paid!
When Di Zhiyuan heard this, he knew the seriousness of the matter. How could such a high-level top secret be a trivial matter? !
Immediately, Di Zhiyuan checked the wax seal on the information, and then opened the information inside.
After reading, Di Zhiyuan's expression changed slightly.
"Prepare your horse, I want to enter the palace immediately to face the saint!"
Civil servants usually travel in sedan chairs, but the current situation is urgent and they can't care about this.
…
——
Daming Palace, Zhongji Hall.
Zhongji Hall, Jianji Hall, Wuying Hall, Wenhua Hall, Wenyuan Pavilion and Dongge are known as the four halls and two pavilions of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The six academicians are the members of the Great Zhou cabinet.
This was the initiative of Emperor Taizu Gao. He was afraid that the power of the prime minister would threaten the imperial power, so he abolished the position of the prime minister, established a cabinet, and divided the power originally belonging to the prime minister into six.
The six bachelors restrained and balanced each other, and they would no longer pose a threat to the imperial power.
It was just that Emperor Taizu Gao did not expect that by the third generation, Yang Qingyuan would completely evacuate the imperial power through the cabinet.
The best way is for the Holy Emperor to rule from the top of the arch, as a symbol of imperial power, and to command the military power of the world.
Let’s leave the governance of the country to professionals!
Comparing Dazhou to a huge company, the central members of the cabinet and the nine ministers of the six departments of the imperial court are equivalent to professional managers working for the chairman of the board of directors, Emperor Linde.
The emperor only needs to ensure that the company belongs to him, and as for the specific operation, he can leave it to a dedicated person.
In this way, even if a foolish king appears, his losses to the country and people can be minimized.
A guard wearing a flying fish suit and an embroidered spring knife hanging on his waist quickly came to the front of the Zhongji Hall, "Xuanwu, the commander of Fusi in Bei Town, is asking to see Mr. Wang!"
The Royal Forest Army stationed at the door saw the arrival of Xuanwu, one of the four commanders of Jinyiwei, and did not dare to neglect.
"Please wait a moment, Mr. Xuanwu, I will report immediately!"
Not long after, the captain of the Royal Forest Army came out and reported back, "Sir, Sir Wang, please come to the side hall to see me!"
According to the "Implementation Measures for the Office of the Central Cabinet and the Four Halls and Two Pavilions" newly issued by the Great Zhou Dynasty, no one from the Six Dark Ministries can enter the pavilion.
To prevent people from the Six Anhui Ministry from affecting the basic administrative operations of the court.
Xuanwu followed the guards to the side hall, and the first thing he said when he saw Wang Hua was, "Master Wang, something has changed in Yancheng!"
