Songling.
Back garden.
The emperor stood next to the rockery stone and watched the water slide down from the rockery. The waterfall always seemed a little fake.
He stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the rockery and flowing water without moving for about a moment.
Gu Xiujin and others stood waiting at a distance, not daring to come over to disturb or make a sound.
Your Majesty has received an urgent memorial from Yunzhou. Tianshui Cliff in Yunzhou was destroyed and hundreds of Shangyang Palace disciples lost their lives.
In the entire Tianshui Cliff, only the priest Nie Wuji, who was away from home at the time, survived.
The emperor stood here without saying a word, while the courtiers watched from a distance, and they did not even dare to express their anger.
It should have been lively when everyone arrived, but when everyone arrived, the whole back garden suddenly became quiet. The originally cheerful birds seemed to be frightened, and none of them made a sound.
"The old man is here."
A chamberlain whispered something in Gu Xiujin's ear, and Gu Xiujin quickly turned around and trotted out to greet him.
The moment the old man appeared, the courtiers, even the current Prime Minister Ning Weimo, had to bow respectfully and salute, and all the civil and military officials in the court followed him in saluting.
The old man nodded towards them, and then walked directly towards the emperor who no one dared to disturb under the rockery.
"gentlemen."
When the emperor turned around, he also saluted the old man.
This is an example.
Since the emperor came to the throne, his respect for the old man has not changed at all.
Whether it is the emperor who has no control over the situation and is manipulated by powerful officials, or the emperor who pretends to be crazy and fools people into thinking that he is an idiot, or the current emperor who has made the whole world of Dayu and even Lou Fan feel in awe, his respect for the old man respect, as always.
"His Majesty."
When the old man spoke, his tone was very calm, and his face didn't look bad.
It seemed that the tragedy at Tianshui Cliff was not enough to make this old man who had led the world for decades lose his composure.
But the emperor knew the old master too well. The fact that the old master didn't show anything didn't mean that the old master wasn't filled with murderous intent.
Why does this old man rule the world? Why is everyone afraid of him?
It is not based on Shangyang Palace's accumulated prestige for thousands of years, nor is it based on the residual power of the previous generation of real people who shocked the world.
It's always been him.
The old man has always had a direct temper. If you provoke me, I will beat you. If you provoke me again, I will beat you again. You provoke me one by one, and I will beat you one by one. You provoke me together, and I will beat you together.
Moreover, Lao Zhenren has never been constrained by the so-called moral high ground. Even now, many people still feel that Lao Zhenren's status should not be seen by ordinary people.
The old man has never been offended by this anger since he was young, not even once.
Some people who are looking for fame and reputation want to deliberately provoke Lao Zhenren and wait for Lao Zhenren to take action. Then they will use this to attack Lao Zhenren, bully the small ones with the big ones, and bully the short ones with the high ones.
Every time, they get what they want.
Passers-by were saying, Old Master, you are the Master of Shangyang Palace, how can you be on the same level as them?
Whoever said this, the old man would always pull him over and beat him together.
So the reason why he seems calm at this moment is just because the old man is in front of His Majesty.
"Sir, are you going to Yunzhou?"
"I want to go, but I'm not in a hurry."
The old master's tone was still calm and he said: "The old minister came to see your majesty because he wanted to say hello to your majesty. After the matter in Geling is settled, the old minister may go to Yunzhou at any time. When I leave, I won't come and talk to your majesty. One sound."
The emperor nodded: "Sir, you can decide when you want to leave and when you will come back."
He asked: "Mr. said that the matter of Ge Ling should be settled first because he has verified that some people in Fengyu Temple are indeed dishonest?"
The old man said: "We haven't verified it yet. Only when we go to Yunzhou can we verify it. In Geling we deal with those things that don't need to be verified."
The emperor nodded again.
"His Majesty."
The old man said: "I have always been lazy before. I just think that if your majesty wants to do something, just give an order and I will do it."
"But my laziness lies in the fact that even if I am acting according to His Majesty's orders, I will always give my instructions. I have always neglected to interfere."
"Perhaps because of this, some people think that I am not too lazy, but that I am about to die."
"Tian Shuiya was picked on, and hundreds of Shangyang disciples were killed. They may have deliberately forced me to do something to test whether I was really about to die."
Speaking of this, the old man looked at the emperor.
The emperor said: "Sir, you know that none of them can tear Shangyang Palace apart. Even if they are tied together, they don't have that much strength, and they don't even have the courage. So they can only place their hopes on Lao The real person himself tore Shangyang Palace apart."
The old man said: "They have always been very confident. This is something I have always admired about them."
The emperor nodded.
The old man said: "Why don't they understand? Just follow His Majesty's wishes and play with His Majesty, and they can continue playing. If they don't, they won't even be able to play."
The emperor said: "Because they always feel that they can turn the tide on this chessboard with one or two tricks."
The old man said: "They are still playing on the chessboard, why don't they think about it, no one on the chessboard can win."
The Emperor said: "If they can think of it, then I really have an opponent."
The old man couldn't help but sigh.
Those people always felt that they were playing chess with the emperor on the same chessboard, and the outcome was not determined.
They never thought that the emperor had stepped out of the chessboard a long time ago.
The emperor looked down at them from outside the chessboard, but they were looking for a commanding position behind the chess pieces on the opposite side.
Every time, the opponent's chess piece seems to have some flaws, and they will feel that the next blow will be a vicious check.
"gentlemen."
The emperor said: "Their cards are nothing to play, and their methods are limited to a few types. Sir, just don't get angry."
The old man said: "A blood debt can only be repaid with blood. Hundreds of disciples died in Shangyang Palace, so thousands of their disciples can barely be considered as repayment with blood."
Having said this, he leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, Shangyang Palace will always be your Majesty's Shangyang Palace."
The emperor replied: "Sir, you know this. I have never doubted it."
The old man smiled and said, "Then I will resign."
The emperor said: "There is something that I have to tell my husband again, because he always can't remember it."
The old man said: "Please give me your Majesty's orders."
The Emperor said: "I have said that there is no need to explain to me where you are going or what you are going to do. If you have any questions and let me know, then send a disciple to tell me. Next time, you will go there in person." , then I will..."
After thinking for a while, the emperor smiled and said, "Then I won't respect you."
The old man said: "I will remember it."
The emperor asked: "Really?"
The old man nodded: "Really, when did I not remember?"
After saying that, he leaned down to salute again, turned around, and walked away with his big sleeves fluttering.
He walked back and passed by the civil and military officials again, and all the officials hurriedly bowed down and saluted.
But from beginning to end, the old man didn't even look at them, including Dayu Zaifun Ning Weimo.
If someone else is like this, it would be arrogant and rude. If the real person is like this, even if they are dissatisfied, they can only hold it in. Even if they fart out, they don't dare to let the sound of the fart contain the slightest disrespect.
People will question someone who curses, but they will never question someone who actually dares to hit them.
Even if someone scolds the old man in his heart, let's see how long you can live... When they scolded, they didn't even dare to reveal a trace of this thought in their eyes.
Law.
Because the old man is the one who can really let them die at any time.
The emperor personally delivered a section, and then returned to the rockery and continued to stand. He did not ask the courtiers to come over to talk, so the adults could only stand there and wait.
At this time, some smart people have reacted. Your Majesty called them all today, but they didn't say anything. They were just not allowed to leave. Is your Majesty going to do something?
At this time, the old man came and left again.
So what Your Majesty is going to do, is he cooperating with the old man?
in the case of......
An hour later, Fengyu Temple.
All Shangyang Palace disciples in Geling City have received the news and must come to the square of Fengyu Temple before noon.
At this moment, thousands of Shangyang Palace disciples gathered on this huge flat land.
According to the position of seniority, people with higher status are closer to the front, followed by white-robed disciples.
They have been waiting for the old man to arrive, and they are all curious about what happened today.
The crowd was not so quiet, many people were whispering.
Because Shangyang Palace has not held such a gathering for a long time, and it has been a long time since the old master stood in front of everyone and said something.
At the front, Shang Qingyu, the priest of the Dali Sect, stood there with his body straight.
There are several great ritual teachers beside him. The master of Fengyu Temple is not here, and the old master has not yet arrived. They are the ones with the highest status.
The great priest Lu Junji stood beside Shang Qingyu and asked in a low voice: "Do you know what big event the master is going to say today?"
Shang Qinghuo shook his head slightly and said, "If the master wants to do something big, he has never summoned everyone to the scene."
Lu Junji sighed: "That's probably what happened in the past, and it's not big enough."
Shang Qing finished and said: "As long as it is something that the Headmaster wants to do, it is actually not a big deal for the Headmaster."
Lu Junji curled his lips and said, "The master hasn't even arrived yet, and you're already flattering me?"
Shang Qingqing smiled: "You know, I have never wanted to succumb to others and flatter the headmaster, so I am even more courageous to take the lead."
Lu Junji couldn't help but laugh too.
The two priests of the Great Rites Sect next to them also laughed when they heard what they said.
Another priest from the Dali Cult smiled and said, "No one can disapprove of you when it comes to practicing talisman arts, and no one can disapprove of you when it comes to teaching flattery."
The Great Etiquette Master next to him said: "Those of us who can hold the position of Great Etiquette Religion shouldn't question each other's ability to flatter each other."
This sentence made all four people laugh, including the one who spoke, Dalijiao himself.
At this moment, four people turned back at the same time, but no one else noticed anything.
The old master did not come from the front, but from behind the large group of white-robed disciples.
When the four great ritual teachers turned around, all the disciples followed suit.
The white-robed disciples all gave way to a path, and the path became wider and wider.
Because the old man was holding two human heads in his hand at this time, two human heads that were still dripping with blood. The two human heads were in one hand, holding the hair, and the heads were still spinning slowly in circles.
In Lao Zhen's other hand is a rope with a large string of human heads attached to it.
The two heads in his hands were at the peak of the Wuyue Realm, probably not the peak of the Wuyue Realm that was weaker than Tuoba Lie.
The heads on the rope behind are all from the Wuyue realm, and they are not qualified to be carried by the old master.
This rope is so long...
