In just one stick of incense, Bian Hu left and returned. He came forward to report: "Your Majesty, the three princes of Wenshan Pavilion have arrived."
Yang Jin received the emperor's signal and immediately sang loudly: "Xuan, the three princes of Wenshan Pavilion are here to see you."
After a while, three Four Phases Returning to One Realm monks came to see the emperor. The old man with white hair and a boyish face in the middle stepped forward and bowed slightly and said: "Your Majesty, long live the Emperor Zhang Hou Duan Gui."
A man in his thirties on the right side of the old man stepped forward to greet him and said, "My lord, I'm waiting for Zhou Ren to see you, long live my emperor."
A handsome young man on the left side of the old man came forward to greet him and said: "My lord, please see Xue Changqing, long live my emperor."
Mu Sheng nodded slightly and returned the greeting, and said with a smile: "Seniors, please take a seat. I am also a practitioner. From now on, I will ask you seniors to help me stabilize the country and rectify the world."
The three princes said in unison: "Your Majesty has great ambitions, but I dare not accept your orders."
During the dinner, the emperor did not give any tasks. He only discussed some cultivation topics with the three princes of Wenshan Pavilion, and then stood up and presented gifts to the three princes.
Of course Bian Hu, the prosecutor's officer, was very good at observing people's actions. After the three princes left Zhangtai Palace, he wrote the emperor's mission on a wooden slip and handed it to the three princes.
After the three princes of Wenshan Pavilion left the palace, Duan Gui, the old man in charge, asked: "What do you think of the new king who has inherited the throne?"
Zhou Ren said in a relaxed tone: "How else can we look at it? Let's see the consequences. After all, I am young. I have just succeeded to the throne and I can't tell whether I am a wise emperor or a holy master. We will eat your salary and share your worries. How could we be loyal to the late emperor in the past? How can you still be loyal to me now?"
After hearing this, the old man nodded slightly, then turned to ask the young man next to him, "Changqing, what do you think?"
Xue Changqing said: "Master, I have no idea, but I am surprised that at such a young age, I have actually reached the level of a Heavenly Master. I really have some extraordinary talents."
Naturally, they didn't know that Mu Sheng had the Ancient Tianque Treasure on his body, which could cover up his powerful cultivation and make it difficult to be seen through. If they knew that the emperor had the same cultivation level as them, wouldn't their jaws drop?
When Zhou Ren heard this, he was also a little incredulous and said: "To be honest, at my age, I don't even have the cultivation level of an intermediate monk. It's not necessarily that I may have some extraordinary adventures."
Xue Changqing, the Marquis of Xiang, smiled slightly and agreed: "Perhaps it is as my uncle said, this speed of cultivation is really unheard of."
Suhou Zhou Ren chuckled and said: "Changqing, when my senior brother accepted you as his direct disciple, I felt that you were extremely talented and perverted enough. In just over seventy years, you have cultivated to the realm of the Four Harmonies. I think that after living half my life, I, Zhou, can still meet a monk who is more... more powerful than you."
Zhou Rengang immediately stopped talking when he mentioned the word "pervert". It would be disrespectful to say that the emperor was perverted. After all, he was eating the emperor's food, so some things should not be said carelessly.
Hearing this, Xue Changqing was obviously very helpful. He smiled and said, "Uncle, thank you."
Duan Gui said: "By the way, which one of you is willing to take down that witch that His Majesty told us about?"
Xue Changqing said: "Master, let me go. When the late emperor visited the east, I accompanied the king and had several encounters with this enchantress. It is not too difficult to capture her with my strength."
Hearing this, Duan Gui nodded and said, "Okay, without further ado, we will capture this demon girl and the demon Zhang Daoling today, and take them both to the prison to await your punishment."
Xue Changqing nodded slightly in agreement.
At this time Zhou Ren suddenly said: "Brother, since Jinshang is a monk, according to the usual practice, should we arrange one of our own beside Jinshang?"
Duan Gui frowned and said, "Junior brother, who do you think is more suitable to go?"
Zhou Ren seemed to have made a plan in his mind, and said: "Fang Yunyi, this little girl has extraordinary appearance and good cultivation talent. She has just entered the Heavenly Master realm, and she is just right to stay with His Majesty to protect the safety of the new king."
After hearing this, Duan Gui complained: "Do you want to arrange someone around Jinshang, or do you want to be the head of the state? Fang Yunyi is your adopted daughter, are you really willing to send her to His Majesty? Besides, Chang Qing Your beloved disciple Yifeng and his childhood sweetheart, are you willing to break up this good marriage?"
Hearing this, Zhou Ren curled his lips and said: "I asked Yunyi about her wishes. She only pursues Taoism and will never talk about marriage until she reaches the state of the Four Harmonies. Do you think I don't want to bring her and Yi Feng into a good relationship? But This kid's attitude is so tough. If the two of them are childhood sweethearts as their senior brother said, they would have gotten along long ago. Is there any need to wait until now? In this case, let this kid go to Jin Shang's side. I With Yunyi’s appearance, I think I won’t refuse.”
Duan Gui looked at Xue Changqing and asked, "Changqing, is this really the case?"
Xue Changqing said helplessly: "I don't know what Fang Yunyi is thinking. Yi Feng is indeed interested in her, but she is unmoved. We elders cannot force them to do their best. On the contrary, this will affect the Taoist mind and hinder their further possibilities."
Duan Gui was silent for a long time and then said: "I really don't want the child Yunyi to fall into it. Since ancient times, the Marquis Gate is as deep as the sea, let alone the imperial palace."
When Zhou Ren heard this, he felt a little regretful for recommending Fang Yunyi to go to the emperor, but when he thought of the possible benefits in the future, he still made the decision cruelly.
Xue Changqing naturally has a clear mind and knows his uncle's plans, and there is nothing to cause intrigue in the relationship between the three of them.
Xue Changqing made it clear directly: "Master, I agree with my uncle's decision. I heard that I am a disciple of the Yuzhen Sect. At this age and with such cultivation, I guess that I am probably a direct disciple of the Yuzhen Sect. It would be the best if you can take a liking to our Yunyi today."
"In so many years, this is the first time that a monk has become the emperor in my Jin Dynasty. Jinshang is so talented. I think it will not be difficult to cultivate to the state of Four Phases Reunion in the future. If Jinshang can reach this state, he will live a long life. He will definitely stay on the throne for many years. If Yunyi can successfully enter the harem, then our Baishou will have a different influence in front of us in the future. I think this treasure is worth pressing for."
After hearing this, Zhou Ren nodded repeatedly and said: "What Chang Qing said is exactly what I want. Senior brother, there is one more thing we have to be careful about. Now that he is enthroned, he is not only the prince of the late emperor, but also a disciple of the Yuzhen Sect. With the support of the imperial court, in the future, the Yuzhen Sect will definitely be the first-class sect in our Jin Dynasty. The influence of the people of the Yuzhen Sect on our dynasty will definitely increase day by day. If we just sit back and do nothing at this time, I am afraid that our Baishou status will be very low in the future. Awkward."
Duan Gui looked helpless when he heard this. He also knew that what Xue Changqing and Zhou Ren said was completely correct.
Duan Gui sighed and said: "Alas! I really can't bear to think of that good boy Yun Yi... Alas! Forget it, I'll just send Yunyi over there."
Zhou Ren and Xue Changqing looked at each other. Knowing that Duan Gui was soft-hearted, they took turns stepping forward to persuade him. Now that the matter was settled, they said nothing more.
The next morning, after Mu Sheng finished handling the government affairs, he piled the memorials aside and said, "Yang Jin, please sort out the memorials and send them to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Yang Jin carefully collected the memorial and handed it to an eunuch, asking him to send the memorial to Huo Zheng's house. In the past, there was no such example. The memorial approved by the emperor was considered final. Now that Huo Xiang is in power, Mu Sheng approved it. The memorial had to be sent to the Prime Minister's Office for review before it could be officially issued for execution. Mu Sheng himself didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He had just come into power, so he was not allowed to let veterans take charge.
However, some of the courtiers could not stand Huo Xiang's behavior and wrote a letter to impeach Huo Zheng. When Mu Sheng saw this memorial, he really lamented that this person could not see the situation clearly or was really brave. But Mu Sheng also Silently remembering his name, he advised Uncle Wei, the doctor.
Mu Sheng knew clearly in his heart that it was impossible to fall out with Huo Xiangguo now, so he directly sent Uncle Wei's memorial to the Prime Minister's Mansion and asked him to handle it by himself, showing his absolute trust in Huo Xiangguo.
At this time, an eunuch trotted over and said, "Your Majesty, I am asking for an audience with the Inspector Bian Hu."
Mu Sheng said: "Hurry up and announce it."
Bian Hu walked into the palace with four square steps and said: "Your Majesty, the Tsing Yi envoy has captured Ahrami, the leader of the Sanmu tribe, and Zhang Daoling, the demon Taoist, in one fell swoop last night. They are now being held in the prison. Your Majesty, please deal with them." .”
Mu Sheng said: "Okay, very good."
Mu Sheng saw a woman in mysterious clothes wearing a cloth turban standing next to Bian Hu. Her tight-fitting leather armor outlined her almost perfect figure, but she lowered her head and couldn't see her face clearly. She was faintly exuding spiritual power. , proving that she should be the Baishou monk within the Tsing Yi Envoy.
When Bian Hu saw the emperor looking at the woman beside him, he stepped forward and introduced him proactively: "Your Majesty, her name is Fang Yunyi, Baishou Envoy, Iron Eagle Swordsman. She was the one responsible for capturing Zhang Daoling and others this time. Of course, it is mainly Xianghou who takes action."
Bian Hu turned slightly sideways and said politely: "Master Fang, please report the results of the battle to Your Majesty in detail."
It can be seen that although Bian Hu is their leader in name, in fact he still does not dare to boss these monks with superior combat power.
Hearing this, Fang Yunyi stepped forward and said: "My lord, Fang Yunyi, long live my emperor."
Seeing that she was still lowering her head, Mu Sheng said casually: "Fang Yunyi? Well, you don't have to be so reserved. Just raise your head and answer the question. I'm not a bad person."
Fang Yunyi hesitated for a moment and had to raise her head to report to the emperor. But the moment she raised her head, it seemed that time had stopped. Her bright eyes were white and her teeth were white, and her skin was like cream. There seemed to be a hint of purple brilliance in the bright eyes under the willow eyebrows, but The beauty looked extremely calm and her tone was cold. She was such a stunning beauty. Even though Mu Sheng was well-informed and had seen countless women, he was slightly shocked by Fang Yunyi's peerless beauty.
By the time she finished her report, Mu Sheng was still in a daze. Throughout the whole process, she could vaguely hear that the patriarch and the others did not resist during the arrest...
After Fang Yunyi finished his report, he saw that the emperor seemed to be in a daze, so he reminded him softly: "Your Majesty?"
Mu Sheng finally reacted, came back to his senses and asked, "You mean, they didn't resist and were captured without any help?"
Fang Yun responded: "Yes, Your Majesty."
This made Mu Sheng a little curious and asked, "I want to meet the patriarch and the others."
At this time, Bian Hu jumped out without losing the opportunity and said: "Your Majesty, I will make arrangements right away."
