"Brother, I saw in an ancient book that there is a strange record about the Yin Shen Palace..."
After Zhongren returned to the Dongzhi Street residence, he still said to Gu Lan.
Although Gu Lan had said before, Taoist Master Yunlong had told him everything about Yin Shen Palace.
But Zhongren still felt that he should mention it to Gu Lan.
"oh?"
Gu Lan raised his eyebrows curiously.
He knew the talent of his little brother, but since he brought it up alone, there might be something strange in the Yin Shen Palace that Taoist Master Yunlong had overlooked?
"It is recorded in ancient books that the life of the Lord of the Yin Shen Palace is endless, extending for thousands of years to this day, but in our human world...how is this possible?"
Zhongren frowned.
"I don't believe there are any monks with endless longevity. No matter how high their cultivation level is, they can't live forever."
"Furthermore, although the strength of the Lord of the Yin Shen Palace is very mysterious, I think it is impossible to be stronger than my elder brother. How can his lifespan be endless?"
Gu Lan also raised his eyebrows slightly, but he had never heard this statement mentioned by Taoist Yunlong.
However, with the Taoist master's exhaustive strategy, he is still facing the end of life and death. Why on earth does the master of the Yin Shen Palace dare to say that his life span is endless?
Unless his cultivation has transcended the six realms and risen beyond the realm of heaven, he can live as long as heaven and live forever.
But Gu Lan didn't think that there would be people with this kind of cultivation in the human world...otherwise, would they be so reclusive?
How long ago to dominate the world!
Endless longevity is just an existence that exists in legends. Whether anyone can achieve it is still open to question.
From ancient times to the present, no matter how amazingly talented or beautiful a person is, they cannot escape death and their fate.
Taoist Master Yunlong didn't mention it, probably because he didn't believe it at all, right?
No matter how unpredictable the Yin Shen Palace is, it is impossible to achieve this step.
But since this matter is recorded in the ancient books of Tianji Pavilion, it means there must be something weird about it!
Nothing, even if it is just nonsense, cannot come from nothing.
Gu Lan became concerned about this. No matter whether the master of the Yin Shen Palace had endless longevity or not, if he met him in the future, he would find out what was going on.
...
In the blink of an eye it's early morning.
Gu Lan went to the palace without stopping.
The journey was smooth and no one dared to trouble him, the new prince.
"Huh? The lady is not here?" There was no one in the Yangxin Hall.
Gu Lan frowned slightly and asked a palace maid, only to find out that Mu Yuyan was attending court in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
When he had nothing to do, he took out some paper and wrote down some of his gains in the past two days, as well as his future plans... After settling down, it was like writing a diary.
"On the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month, Qing, conquer the Yanyulou killer organization, use both kindness and power, and adopt it for your own use. In the future, you can carry out assassinations and collect intelligence... Well, but Li Xiong's cultivation level is too low, and he can only be a scout for now. use."
"I went to Tianji Pavilion to inquire about the Yin Shen Palace. The owner of the Yin Shen Palace is indeed a bit weird. I don't know if he is a boy or a girl, and he is an old monster... There are so many old monsters recently."
"Next, we have to go to the Dark Ridge to find the whereabouts of the Nether Clan. It's best to subdue them... The protagonist's younger brother who will be subdued in the future, it would be better for me to collect them in advance!"
"My wife's cultivation and energy have been improving by leaps and bounds recently. I have to practice quickly, otherwise I will really be a little overwhelmed..."
"that is it!"
Gu Lan concentrated his attention and thought about his future plans, including how to conquer the Nether Clan and how to use it after conquering it.
It wasn't until I felt sleepy thinking that I asked the palace maid to summon some food.
…
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Mu Yuyan was sitting on the dragon chair, wearing a golden dragon robe, showing her dignity without anger.
The ministers were lined up on both sides of the palace. Prime Minister Sima Qin stood at the head of the civil servants, but the mighty general Wu Fan among the generals was not among them.
"When there is something to do, we will start to act, but when there is nothing to do, we will retreat."
Mu Yuyan's tone was indifferent, which was completely different from when she got along with Gu Lan. Her cold voice exuded the majesty of an emperor.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
Among the civil servants, a seventh-grade censor stood up.
Censors are also called officials, and they have the right to submit reports after hearing the news. If the report is true, it will be meritorious. If it is not true, there will be no fault.
Therefore, although the official rank is low, no one will give him face if he wants to be arrogant.
"Accurate!"
"The newly promoted King of Jingyang, Gu Lan, stayed at the Yangxin Palace several times and corrupted the imperial court. Please ban the king and punish him!"
Mu Yuyan frowned, looked at Yan Guan with cold eyes, smiled slowly and said, "Besides you, who else feels the same way?"
As if they could hear her suppressed anger, many officials responded with silence. Even if they thought so, they would not be able to stand up.
"Hmph!" Seeing that no one dared to respond, Mu Yuyan snorted coldly, "The imperial court pays salaries to support so many of you censors, not to keep an eye on me, but to allow you to supervise all officials and be considerate of the people! "
"There is no need to worry about such trivial matters in the future. It is a waste of courtiers' time!"
The censor was quite unconvinced, with a fiercely loyal look on his face: "Your Majesty, this matter is inconsistent with etiquette, etiquette cannot be abolished!"
However.
Mu Yuyan didn't want to get entangled with him about these troublesome things. Her husband-in-law came to the palace to accompany her, but she had spent a lot of effort to achieve the situation. How could she give up just because of a mere censor?
"Back off!" Her tone became even colder. The censor was ignored, but he had no choice but to return angrily!
King Jingyang was so favored that he couldn't help it no matter how dissatisfied he was. There were even rumors that His Majesty had that guy's heir in his belly... This made them, the little officials who looked up to the empress's face every day, envious and jealous. go Ape!
"Is General Wu Wei still recovering from his illness?" Mu Yuyan then looked around and looked at the place where Wu Fan should have been standing, her voice filled with emotion and anger.
The ministers were shocked and confused by the memorial, and Sima Qin was even more worried. He had a premonition... I'm afraid your Majesty is going to attack Wu Fan!
but.
He still doesn't know how His Majesty found out...
really!
The next moment, Liu Yexi was heard to stand up and report: "According to the investigation by Xuantiansi, General Wu Fan is not sick, but he is pretending to be sick at home and does not dare to go to court. He is suspected of deceiving the emperor and neglecting his superiors!"
"Oh? Why don't you dare?"
Mu Yuyan responded calmly.
All the ministers knew that it was probably just Liu Yexi and the empress who were singing the double act at the moment.
Outside the main hall, a young eunuch gritted his teeth and then found an excuse to feel uncomfortable and left quietly without anyone noticing.
In the golden palace!
Liu Yexi continued to answer: "Because the Xuantian Division found out that when Wu Fan was a general, he was corrupt, perverted the law, oppressed the people, and even... attempted to bribe ministers and recruit private troops, which is tantamount to conspiracy!"
"Wow——"
There was an uproar among the ministers immediately. Fortunately, they all knew that this was the Hall of Supreme Harmony, where political affairs were discussed and they should not make a noise rashly.
But the shock in everyone’s eyes cannot be concealed!
Sima Qin's eyes narrowed, he glanced at Mu Yuyan vaguely, and nodded secretly.
"Is Your Majesty really planning to take action against Wu Fan's party..."
He already knew that Mu Yuyan would never be able to tolerate Wu Fan, but he didn't expect that he would take action so quickly.
Many ministers turned pale and showed a hint of panic.
Because one of Wu Fan’s criminal edicts mentioned by Xuan Tiansi was to bribe ministers!
Many of them are the targets of being bribed!
After all, some time ago, the empress lived in seclusion in the palace, and Wu Fan was so powerful that few people could refuse his solicitation.
Mu Yuyan's eyes were piercing, and her tone became colder: "This is unreasonable, Liu Aiqing, I order you to lead the secret guards of the Xuantian Division and arrest Wu Fan immediately for interrogation. We must find out this matter and who dares to collude to commit such a treasonous act. !”
"yes!"
Liu Yexi saluted and quickly accepted the order, leading people down to capture Wu Fan.
"Retreat!"
Mu Yuyan had no intention of continuing to pretend with her ministers and retreated directly, leaving many people trembling.
