Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.
As the saying goes, hold a general meeting for small things and a small meeting for big things. The people standing in the Imperial Study Room today are all important figures in the Ming Dynasty.
Three cabinet bachelors, six ministers, Lord Tietan Shenhou, the owner of Hulong Villa, Liu Jin, the governor of the East Factory and commander of the Jinyi Guards, Cao Zhengchun, the chief supervisor of the internal supervision, the emperor, and the little yellow cat sleeping soundly on the dragon chair.
The ministers didn't know what was going on when the emperor summoned them, so they whispered. Some even began to be extremely dissatisfied with the emperor for keeping pets in public and playing with them.
"Your Majesty, my servant Liu Jin has something to report."
"explain."
"Recently, a big demon has appeared near Kyoto, killing several ordinary people in our Ming Dynasty, and even boldly assassinated court ministers. But..." Liu Jin looked hesitant.
Zhengde was surprised: "Didn't I leave this matter to you, Dongchang and Hulong Villa?"
Liu Jin hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you don't know. This murderer is none other than the No. 1 secret agent of Hulong Villa, a fifth-grade sword-wielding guard in front of the imperial family, Gui Hai's sword!"
Yesterday, the slave had him in his hands, but Shenhou let him go again. "
After saying that, Liu Jin looked at Tiedan Shenhou and secretly smiled.
Are you afraid that my father-in-law will make a snitch?
Hearing this, all the officials in the hall immediately became excited. What officials like them are most afraid of is this kind of gangster who likes to listen to the corner of the wall and refuse to be unreasonable.
As long as someone feels uncomfortable looking at you, they can rush in and stab you.
What's wrong with a dignified leader of the Six Ministries, one of the few people at the top of the entire Ming Dynasty, with the life and death of hundreds of millions of people in their hands, marrying ten or eight concubines?
What's wrong?
A small landowner from his hometown still plays more than a dozen games. Isn’t this bullying?
Zhu Wuwu stood up and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, what Liu Jin said is not true. Guihai's knife was taken away by the Shaolin monk to remove his inner demons. After seven or forty-nine days, the inner demons will be removed, and Wei Chen will I will bring him back for questioning."
Liu Jin smiled and said, "I have always heard that there is a saying from ancient times called letting the tiger return to the mountains. If you catch the tiger and release it back to the mountains, can you still capture the tiger in the future?
Moreover, everyone knows that the Shenhou and several of his Ouchi spies have a deep relationship and share the same affection as father and son. He will definitely not be cruel.
Nowadays, Yi Dao is the murderous demon. It is known to everyone that even Hulong Villa dares to break into it. If he fails to get rid of the demon this time and comes back again, he will go crazy and kill in the capital. The consequences will be... I can’t imagine it! "
After speaking, Liu Jin looked at the ministers proudly.
If he gets rid of Hulong Villa this time, let's see who dares to provoke trouble with him in the future. He even glanced at Cao Zhengchun who was serving the emperor in the hall.
It's his turn next, and he has memorized everything in his little notebook.
The ministers discussed for a while, and Liu Chu, the great scholar of Wenhua Palace, came out and said: "Your Majesty, I cannot agree with what Eunuch Liu said.
He is in charge of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and has three thousand and five thousand battalions guarding the imperial army. If someone commits a heinous crime in Kyoto, it is absolutely not unimaginable that they can absolve themselves of responsibility with just four words. "
The smile on Liu Jin's face gradually disappeared.
The Minister of Punishment also said: "Your Majesty, according to national law, this matter should be Liu Jin's responsibility. Wei Chen believes that what the scholar said is reasonable."
Zhengde's face didn't look good either. Zhu ignored him for doing such a thing and had so many people supporting him. His strength in the court was really terrifying. Then he looked at Cao Zhengchun who was aside.
Cao Zhengchun understood this and came out to criticize: "Marquis Shen, if you let the imperial criminals go without permission, are you breaking the law knowingly?"
The Minister of Punishment shook his head and said slowly: "Eunuch Liu, if you arrest Gui Hai with a knife, should you interrogate him?
As far as I know, this person has not entered any files in our Ministry of Punishment. So, how can he be regarded as a prisoner of the imperial court? "
Liu Jin was anxious: "Shaolin presided over Master Fan, and Master Ye Yu, the master of Emei, was present at the time, and they are all witnesses!"
Another bachelor stood up and said, "What about the witnesses? Did Eunuch Liu take the two witnesses to the Ministry of Punishment to record a confession?"
"No!" said the Minister of Punishment.
"Then, the murder of Guihai with one knife is just a rumor in the city. In fact, no witnesses witnessed it with his own eyes.
The Holy One is wise and loves his people like his own children. Without any real evidence, how can we conclude that Gui Hai Yi Dao is a murderous maniac? "The bachelor said slowly.
"What the bachelor said is absolutely true!" Another Liubu Pavilion elder agreed.
"You're right!"
...
After listening to what these people said, the expression on Liu Jin's face changed from shock to annoyance, then from annoyance to confusion, and finally from confusion to bewilderment.
What's going on? Why is it now his fault?
Liu Jin raised his head slightly and saw the disappointed emperor, the smiling Eunuch Cao, the sleeping little yellow cat, and finally looked towards the roof, as if he was doubting himself and the meaning of life.
This is unreasonable!
In the end, it was University Scholar Jiao Fang who stood up amidst the mocking gazes of the ministers.
"Your Majesty, the situation has become clear. Eunuch Liu and the ministers have not yet determined whether the murderer is Gui Hai Yi Dao, and Gui Hai Yi Dao has inner demons in his body, and he needs to stay in Shaolin to eliminate the demons in Seven Seven Forty-Nine.
Na Weichen suggested that Dongchang continue to investigate the murderer to prevent the murderer who wreaked havoc in Kyoto from going unpunished.
In addition, Guihai Yidao was born in Hulong Villa. When his inner demons were gone, he took him to the Ministry of Punishment and asked Dali Temple, Dongchang and the Ministry of Punishment to participate in the trial.
Both of them, since Guihai Yida was taken away by Shenhou in public, Shenhou had to make a guarantee that after forty-nine days, Guihai Yida must be returned to Guizhou.
In addition, if Gui Hai Yi Dao continues to do evil in these seven or forty-nine days, you must give an explanation to the ministers, the emperor, and the innocent people. "
Only then did Liu Jin's eyes light up: "Ah, yes, yes, yes!"
After saying that, Eunuch Liu looked at Jiao Fang very happily. He was indeed someone who read a lot and had a way of talking about things.
Cao Zhengchun was also thoughtful.
This is where he, the former governor of Dongchang, is inferior to Liu Jin. The bustling world is all about profit, so why not use power and status to win over some scholars who are on your side?
If you are an enemy of the world, unless you master the Analects of Confucius as proficiently as your little ancestor, your old age will be unlucky, and you may not even be able to survive your old age.
Zhengde's expression softened slightly and he looked deeply at Zhu Wuwu: "Uncle Emperor, what do you think?"
Zhu Wuli stepped forward and clasped his fists: "Back to the emperor, if Gui Hai's sword breaks the law again, I am willing to be implicated and voluntarily be imprisoned in Dongchang Tianlao."
"That's good."
...
Harem, inner prison.
Cao Zhengchun sat cross-legged in the courtyard, closed his eyes, and read the "Secret Code of the Great Sun and Haotian" taught by his young ancestor.
This sect's martial arts is supreme and yang, and its intention is lofty and far-reaching.
Through this technique, he realized that compared to the vast stars at night, the sun in the sky was just an inconspicuous little star on the vast scale of the universe.
It is the existence of this sun that provides the planet where it lives with the light and heat needed for the growth and reproduction of life.
But the light is so hot and violent that if it were not for the protection of the planet, all living things would die in an instant.
The sun is shining in the sky.
The grand palace, with its carved beams and painted buildings and pavilions, becomes more and more magnificent under the rays of the sun.
The palace seems to be a small city. Everyone has his own life. Everyone is working hard, calculating, communicating, walking around and resting.
Although she is playful now, her temperament is not bad, so the palace maids and chambermaids also laugh and laugh from time to time.
And since Eunuch Cao took charge of the harem, as long as he didn't make a big mistake, no one in the harem would be killed casually for inexplicable reasons.
Suddenly, the whole sky darkened.
Everyone hurriedly looked up. There were no dark clouds, and the sky was clear and white. However, the sun just dimmed, as if the hot and warm light had been sucked away by some evil existence.
Is there some great horror coming?
Suddenly the whole Kyoto was in chaos, and some people were even more panicked. They were rich and powerful, and lived comfortably every day, but they didn't want to die at all.
"Buzz~"
With a sinking heart, everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of the palace, only to see a huge and majestic shadow rising slowly there, like a lake, but it made the whole world suddenly bright, and swept away the gloom in everyone's hearts. .
Warmth, sunshine.
This is a god!
And that's the imperial palace. Could it be that this guy Zhengde really has destiny? At this moment, all the careerists felt their hearts sinking.
Over the years, everything Zhengde has done can be summed up in one sentence: This son has no appearance of a king.
Therefore, many members of the royal family have some special thoughts in their minds.
The key is that Zhengde doesn't have a son yet. If he dies suddenly and suddenly, wouldn't everyone have a chance?
When we saw the sky suddenly darkening, everyone even thought about the outcome: the emperor acted willfully, and God's will warned him.
But when this strange phenomenon occurs in the palace, it will never be the same again.
Destiny favors one emperor for eternity!
...
At Hulong Villa, Zhu Wuwang looked at the huge phantom, frowned, and then directly used Qinggong to rush over.
"Affiliates of Hulong Villa must assemble urgently and rush to the Imperial City to rescue him immediately!"
"yes!"
...
In Dongchang, Liu Jin was overjoyed and knelt down directly to the palace.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"
...
After finishing his work, Cao Zhengchun slowly opened his eyes, revealing his divine light, which was bright and bright.
After raising his hands and looking at them for a while, Eunuch Cao understood one thing deeply: he has become stronger!
Since hiding in this harem, although he has learned to eat, drink and have fun like his little ancestors, he has not fallen behind at all in his daily homework.
No matter how hard or tiring he was, he still kept practicing for a full hour every day.
Sure enough, God will not let you down if you work hard.
At this moment, he entered the realm that everyone in the world dreamed of: transcending the world and becoming a saint!
"Meow?" the little yellow cat jumped onto the shovel's shoulder and asked curiously.
[Cute girl, where are the cute girls? 】
Cao Zhengchun:......
After playing around with his little ancestor for a while, serving him meals and massages, and then helping to arrange for two maids to serve him, Cao Zhengchun felt the changes in his body again.
Whether it is strength, Qi, or physical body, it is indeed very different from what he used to be. He has become more than ten times stronger.
Very strong, much stronger than he imagined.
No wonder, from ancient times to the present, only two martial arts masters have reached this level, and after reaching this level, they have dominated the world for hundreds of years, and even established two martial arts holy places that have been passed down for hundreds of years and have enjoyed everlasting prosperity.
The most important thing is to break through to a new level spiritually, and be enlightened by it. Every move can stir up the power of heaven and earth, and absorb it into the body to maintain true energy and life.
Those who eat meat are brave and powerful, those who eat grain are wise and skillful, those who eat breath are gods and live long, and those who do not eat are immortal and god.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that his life would be very long.
For thousands of years in China, emperors of all dynasties have dreamed of immortality, and it seems that he is about to achieve it without knowing it. And this is just because I feel comfortable serving my little ancestor.
so good!
Looking at the arrogant little ancestor sleeping on the bed next to him, Cao Zhengchun smiled slightly.
Although he has become the best in the world, he has no intention of leaving this intrigues and intrigues in the palace. Only here can he provide the best life for his little ancestor.
As for leaving to enjoy freedom outside, or defeating the little ancestors, asking for more things. These thoughts had never occurred to him.
I have been a father-in-law all my life, and I have been serving others all my life. I have no relatives or friends. Is it interesting to live such a long life alone?
Being able to serve his little ancestor is the happiest and most honorable thing in his life.
After thinking for a while, Cao Zhengchun frowned and went out. After a hundred steps, he directly met his men who were approaching urgently.
"What's up?"
Pi Xiaotian said quickly: "Father, at the gate of Shenwumen, the brave god Hou Zhuwuwu led hundreds of spies and guards. Liu Jin, the governor of the East Factory, also led thousands of troops from the Three Thousand Battalion and the Fifth Military Battalion, as well as other hundreds of civil and military officials. Together with the officials, I asked to enter the palace to escort him."
Cao Zhengchun was stunned: "The emperor is doing well in the palace, why should he be protected?"
"There was something strange in the palace just now. It was suspected that a god was coming. The prince and officials were afraid of the emperor's safety, so..."
Cao Zhengchun chuckled: "Afraid of the emperor's safety? I think they are here to confirm if something has happened to the emperor. They should find a new home as soon as possible, right?
Be bold! "
Pi Xiaotian quickly lowered his head.
For some reason, this adoptive father who was once slightly better than him is now as powerful as a mountain and a sea, and his every move makes him shake his heart.
"Go down and tell Shenhou that the emperor will go to Shenwu Gate to see them soon."
"Yes!" Pi Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief, quickly bent down and backed away.
What kind of martial arts did the adoptive father practice? It was so terrifying.
It’s not like the phantom of the god and man just now was created by the adoptive father, right?
impossible!
...
Outside the palace, Zhu Wuli stood with his hands behind his hands, standing quietly in front of all the officials.
Unknowingly, thousands of people had gathered behind him: civil and military officials, guards, servants, and ordinary people watching the excitement.
After talking about auspiciousness for so many years, this is the first time in our lives that everyone has seen it. It’s amazing.
"Father, what do you think of this auspiciousness?" Shangguan Haitang quietly came over and asked.
Zhu ignored Dandan and looked at her, saying, "How do I usually teach you?"
"Look more, talk less, and listen more." Shangguan Haitang blushed and quickly retreated.
Afterwards, the Shenhou looked in the direction of the palace and fell into deep thought.
Destiny?
He doesn't believe it!
...
