Ruyang Prince's Mansion.
The doorway, which used to be bustling with guests, was now completely silent.
There are many icings on the cake and few helpers in times of need. People are just so realistic.
"The Seventh Prince is here!" A sudden shout came from the door. The king was arriving. The door was opening. King Ruyang personally led a family of children to the door to greet him.
When the Seventh Prince stepped off the six-carriage, King Ruyang quickly walked to the carriage, clasped his fists and bowed: "Seventh Prince."
The other wives, children and children knelt down directly: "Greetings to the Seventh Prince."
The seventh prince still smiled as always and said: "Haha, we are all in-laws, so there is no need to be so restrained!"
Hearing the words "in-laws", King Ruyang looked even more bitter.
Failure to suppress the rebellion was a dereliction of duty on his part. If someone in the court spoke up, it could be said that the rebels were powerful, and he could even increase his military power. No matter how bad he was, he could still be an idle prince.
But if officials from both the government and the public work together to pass the blame on him, there is probably only one ending: everyone in the family will be executed.
And it just so happens that those officials are good at this.
Now, according to the relationship between the seventh prince and the emperor, it can almost be regarded as his only life-saving straw, and Zhao Qiang has always been devoted to his daughter. As long as it leads to good things, it's a win-win.
pity!
Thinking of his daughter's determined expression, King Ruyang sighed in his heart.
After eighteen years of painstaking efforts to cultivate a son-in-law like Zhao Qiang, could the lives of the whole family be inferior to her temporary happiness?
Besides, with Zhao Qiang's character and Minmin's ability, she married into the seventh prince's family. She probably has the final say in all the big and small things in the family, so how could she be unhappy?
The seventh prince was led to the central hall, and King Ruyang entertained him even more warmly.
After chatting for a moment, the Seventh Prince smiled and said: "King Ruyang, I am here for two things. The first is, you see, my son and your Minmin are not young at all. When will the wedding be held?
】
Secondly, all officials in the court are now dissatisfied with King Ruyang's counterinsurgency. Many courtiers even say that you respect your own troops and are trying to rebel.
Of course, King Ruyang, you also know that I and my brother have always trusted you, and have even considered continuing to recruit troops. Now that the Yuan Dynasty is in turmoil, countering the rebellion is a top priority. King Ruyang needs to be more careful. "
He raised his head and carefully watched the seventh prince's kind expression for a while. King Ruyang sighed and said, "Seventh prince, my daughter's marriage may have some twists and turns..."
After a while, the seventh prince walked out of the palace expressionless, without even eating.
"Farewell to the Seventh Prince!" King Ruyang bowed respectfully.
The seventh prince finally lost his usual smiling face. He glanced back at him and said in a cold voice: "King Ruyang, I hope you can take care of your own affairs, the affairs of the heavenly family, the affairs of the world, and the affairs of the family!"
…
Wan'an Temple.
"Master Zhang, Minmin kept his promise. None of the disciples of the Ming Cult and the four sects were injured, and they were all released." Zhao Min smiled at Zhang Wuji.
Zhang Wuji was silent. Anyone who thought he was already a peerless master didn't want to say anything when he was slapped unconscious one after another every time he made a move.
Isn't his martial arts considered to be the most powerful in this world? Didn't Yang Zuoshi say that with his martial arts, there are only a handful of people in the world who can surpass him?
After those people were released, they came over to say goodbye to Zhang Wuji and left quickly.
Having been taking Shixiang Ruanjin Powder for a long time, not only are their hands and feet weak now, but even after taking the antidote, their meridians have shrunk. In the future, the internal strength of these masters may no longer be improved, but will be threatened to decrease.
This Zhao Min is really venomous.
"Princess, it's not good!" A subordinate came to report. When he saw Zhang Wuji beside him, he paused.
Zhao Min said angrily: "Say!"
She also thought clearly that in this Great Yuan now, her father was the only one who could fight well. Even if there was a mistake this time, as long as the emperor was not too stupid, he would at most give him a warning. Shouldn't he be killed?
Therefore, her Ruyang Palace will not fall!
The men were stunned for a moment, but although they felt that the scene was somewhat familiar, they still said: "The emperor has a decree. King Ruyang is suspected of treason and is temporarily deprived of the throne and military power."
"Ah?" Zhao Min was stunned.
this...
After a moment of silence, Zhao Min quickly said: "Quickly, summon the two elders Xuanming, Master Ku, the Eight Heroes of the Divine Arrow and other masters."
Now, if she doesn't want to sacrifice her own happiness, there is only one way: run!
The subordinate hesitated and said: "Princess, before I came down, I saw Mr. Xuan Ming packing his things, getting into the car of the Seventh Prince's family, and leaving. Most of the others were shattered into pieces when they intercepted Master Zhang and Master Zhou. The rest of the people have already left after receiving the news.”
"Oh, by the way, Princess, I'm here to say goodbye too. Say goodbye!" After saying that, his men simply left.
Considering that he had given so much money, he could be regarded as being extremely benevolent. Of course, he also stopped by to see this dog woman's humble expression from being so high above others to falling into the dirt.
It's a pity that there is still a dog man!
Madhu, it’s good to be good-looking!
When Zhao Min heard this, he suddenly felt weak and collapsed to the ground. Zhang Wuji hurriedly stepped forward to support her. He couldn't bear to see a beautiful girl suffer.
With support, Zhao Min quickly held the man's big hand, his wonderful eyes took a look at the man he chose, and looked at each other earnestly.
The back of Zhang Wuji's hand touched the soft palm of her hand, his heart was pounding, and he calmed down before saying, "I can't stay here much longer. I will be going south in a few days. Please take care of me."
Zhao Min smiled sweetly: "Master Zhang, you still owe me two promises!"
Zhang Wuji frowned: "Indeed, as long as it is not against chivalry, the princess can give you orders. If the princess wants me to rescue your father, it is not a problem."
"Haha, Leader Zhang, in this war, the people will suffer if you win, and if you lose, the people will suffer. But have you ever thought about why those people rebelled?" Zhao Min was still in the mood to laugh at this time.
Zhang Wuji thought for a while and said: "The violence is unjust, the people are in dire straits, and everyone cannot survive, so of course we must rise up!"
Zhao Min shook his head: "Yes, that's not right! The bigger reason is the system. There are mostly Han people in the Central Plains, but they have the lowest status, the least land, and pay the most taxes. There are also the nobles of the Yuan Dynasty who oppress the people in various ways. Then The subcontracting tax system is the last straw.”
"What do you mean?" Zhang Wuji asked curiously.
"Master Zhang, I heard that you have a good relationship with Zhenren Zhang and Zhenren Zhou, so my second condition is: you write a letter asking them to warn Emperor Yuan to reform various systems, restore the status of Han people, and remove all kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. , open warehouses to release grain for disaster relief, collect surrendered rebels, etc."
As he said that, Zhao Min took out a thick memorial from his arms: "These are the various systems that Emperor Yuan wants to amend."
Zhang Wuji was stunned, opened the memorial and read it for a while. He had to say that if these measures could really be implemented, then everyone would really have a good life.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Wuji wondered: "What about your father?"
Zhao Min smiled and said: "Master Zhang, as long as you stand with me, Emperor Yuan will not touch me!"
You must know that on that day, there were no less than ten thousand experts and soldiers who came forward to intercept. Except for those who escaped and were killed by their own people, among all the other martial arts masters, only Zhang Wuji survived.
Therefore, smart people can see that Zhang Zhenzhen still has a high regard for Zhang Wuji.
After hesitating for a moment, he raised his eyes to look at Zhao Min, but saw that her eyes were full of smiles, tender and full of tenderness. Zhang Wuji saw her beauty and beauty, and changed the words on his lips.
"Okay, I promise you, I hope you will do what you say!"
"It's a deal!"
…
Mount Emei, Golden Summit.
The junior sisters are still competing and practicing as usual. Miejie, who used to like to come out to give guidance, has been in seclusion for a long time since the junior sister came back with the sword that day.
Maybe he thought it was interesting to teach his disciples that none of them were autistic in front of Zhiruo.
During the breaks during practice, some of the senior sisters looked at the little junior sister who was reading next to them, and some fed the little yellow cat beside them.
The day before yesterday, Emperor Yuan's imperial edict had arrived. Regardless of whether they agreed or not, all the salt, iron, minerals, taxes, population, and land in the land nearly a thousand miles away from Mount Emei were given to the Emei Sect.
Moreover, Zhou Zhiruo was also conferred the title of "Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Bodhisattva."
The little yellow cat and Zhang Sanfeng's white cranes were even named national animals. The world was shaken for a while, and the remaining martial arts practitioners everywhere were highly respected. What if their martial arts also exceeded Zhang Zhenren's level?
The nobles of the Yuan Dynasty were surprised for a while, and then they began to pay attention to the two spiritual beasts. For a time, among the rich and powerful families, cats were regarded as the most precious and valuable.
And with those words of Yuan Ting, it can be said that the Emei Sect and the Wudang Sect have now almost become a state within a state.
Ding Minjun put the snack that had been held in his arms for a while and put it into the little yellow cat's mouth, and praised: "Lele, you are so awesome. You can earn such a large fortune for our Emei family just by going out!"
"Meow~" Miao Le opened his mouth, very proud.
That was, me and the shit shovel were outside killing each other!
I don’t know why, but this little yellow cat doesn’t like to eat cold food, and especially likes it to be warmed by the senior sisters in their chests before eating.
Does it smell better like this?
Ding Minjun looked down at his chest, and then at the little kitten with a look of enjoyment, thoughtfully.
Sexy cat!
Jingxuan, as the chief housekeeper of Emei, walked to the junior sister who was reading a book.
"Zhiruo, we only collect 30% of the average harvest of those who cultivate the land that year. Isn't this a bit low? In recent days, there have been many former patrons and noble ladies, as well as nearby temples and compounds, who are more or less interested in us. Don't express dissatisfaction." Jingxuan asked.
Zhou Zhiruo turned over a page of Taoist scriptures and said with a smile: "Of course I'm dissatisfied. They don't give the people a way to live. If we do, those people will naturally come to us. Without the suffering of the people to farm for them, how can they enjoy it?" "
Jingxuan said angrily: "Those people also threatened not to accept our goods or sell us anything!"
Zhiruo heard the words and continued to chant with a smile: "They don't sell it, some people do it, and as long as you can stay strong, some people will choose to stand on your side.
Besides, our Emei sect is a pure place of Buddhism. Coarse tea, plain rice, and spiritual practice are enough. What is the use of so much money?
Do Buddhas and Bodhisattvas care whether the golden bodies given to them are big or bright?
Just be sincere.
And if we do good deeds widely, the people at the foot of the mountain will thank us for our kindness and worship Buddha and incense. This may be what the Bodhisattva wants to see. "
Jingxuan was thoughtful.
If the flowers bloom, the fragrance will come.
"Junior sister, Wei Yixiao, the Green-winged Bat King of the Ming Sect, came to pay his respects at the foot of the mountain. He said he had a letter written by their leader." A disciple came up from the foot of the mountain to report.
Zhou Zhiruo paused while reading and nodded: "Let him go to the living room in Qianshan first. I'll be there soon."
"Yes!" The senior sister looked at Zhou Zhiruo with admiration and was very polite.
The strong are always awe-inspiring.
…
living room.
Wei Yixiao sat upright in his seat and drank tea slowly.
With his status and skills, he used to be a guest no matter where he went, but here he didn't dare to be presumptuous at all. Of course, it's not that he's afraid of the Emei sect's Master Miejie, Master Jingxu, Master Jingxuan, and Master Zhou.
Wei Yixiao has never been afraid of anyone!
It was just because this was a pure place for Buddhism, and he, the Green-winged Bat King, was devoted to the Buddha and respected the Buddha that he did not move.
Amitabha, very good!
"Blue-winged Bat King, what do you want from me?" Zhiruo came in and asked directly. The little yellow cat was lying on the girl's shoulder, looking left and right.
Come to worship the mountain, travel such a long way, and not bring a good-looking maid with you? Poor guy!
When Wei Yixiao saw Zhou Zhiruo, he immediately remembered the rumors in the market. The hand holding the teacup shook and he quickly calmed down.
He stood up and bowed: "Wei Yixiao, the Ming Cult, came here to deliver a message on the order of Master Zhang."
After speaking, without pausing, Wei Yixiao took the letter, bent down, and handed it over with one hand, only one.
Everyone knows that Zhou believes in Buddhism. At this time, he must have more respect for Fairy Zhou who is profound in Buddhism.
Zhou Zhiruo glanced at him but did not take the letter. With a wave of his hand, the letter turned into ashes and scattered in the wind.
"I already know the origins of Wudang Mountain. From now on, unless there is a disaster in Wudang Mountain, I will no longer care about it, let alone Zhang Wuji's affairs.
You go! "The girl said calmly.
"Meow!" Miao Le also shouted.
No girl, get out!
The girl tilted her head and glared at him.
Just know girl, am I not a good-looking and cute girl?
The little yellow cat stared back, unwilling to be outdone.
You know how to practice every day, but you haven’t taken me to the bathhouse for a long time!
One person and one cat started to confront each other, completely treating the person next to them as nothing.
Wei Yixiao smiled bitterly, thought for a while, and said: "Master Zhou, please show mercy and save my leader. You don't even know that he is completely fascinated by that little witch!"
A few days ago, the little demon girl kept feeding poison to us Mingjiao. Even if we take the antidote now, our legs and feet are often weak.
But the leader did not care about our persuasion and obeyed the words of the witch.
Master Zhou, you don’t know that the little princess is indeed beautiful and noble, but when I think of her, the hair on my body stands up and I tremble with fear.
A random strategy lasted for decades, causing many families in the Wulin family to be destroyed, and many people in the Han family to be separated from their wives, but she didn't care at all. Now the leader even wants to help her restore the national power of the Yuan Dynasty.
He even helped the witch to train elite soldiers using my Mingjiao Great Movement Technique. "
Zhou Zhiruo then looked at him, looked him up and down, and said: "King Green Winged Bat, I, Emei, will never forget the hatred of Yang Xiao, the bright left envoy of the Ming Cult. For the sake of your leader Zhang, I haven't killed you yet." You are so benevolent and righteous, but you still want me to help him?
How will this make the world think? "
King Wei Bat smiled flatteringly. No matter how powerful Zhou Zhenren was, she was still a woman. When word spread, she thought everyone liked their leader.
However, it would be great if the real person and the leader were a family this week! King Wei Bat thought secretly.
Not to mention anything else, the six sects besieged Guangmingding that day, and this week the real person had rescued his Mingjiao disciples. If such a fairy takes over, then the Mingjiao must be united.
Why!
"Master Zhou, say goodbye!" King Wei Bat said depressedly.
Fortunately, with his Qinggong, he can't accomplish anything big. As long as he doesn't mess with these two gods, he can live happily wherever he goes.
This Mingjiao is going to end!
