With the advent of winter, various regions in the Ming Dynasty began to prepare for various disaster relief efforts, and the world seemed to be completely silent.
However, at some point, a piece of news began to slowly spread in the world.
It is rumored that in the Jingzhou City area in the eastern part of the Ming Dynasty, a city-wide treasure is about to be released. The treasure inside is not only rich and valuable, but also contains countless martial arts secrets, which hides a peerless magical skill.
It is said that whoever obtains this peerless magical skill can become a peerless master, a legendary powerful celestial being, or a land god.
As soon as this news came out, the entire world was shocked.
Countless forces were ready to move and began to gather towards Jingzhou City.
…
Beijing, Xichang Yamen.
Yu Huatian looked indifferent, looked at Cao Zhengchun and Tan Luzi in front of him, and asked: "How is it? Have you found the source of the news?"
Tan Luzi shook his head: "Lord Governor, we haven't found out yet. The person who spread the news has great supernatural powers and is definitely not an ordinary person. Otherwise, the news would not have spread throughout the world in such a short period of time. Now the whole world is in chaos, even though it had just calmed down. There are forces in the southern rivers and lakes ready to make a move, and they began to secretly go to Jingzhou City, obviously interested in the Liancheng treasure."
Next to him, Cao Zhengchun also nodded slightly, frowning and said: "This method of spreading news seems to be somewhat similar to the Governor's previous plot to protect Dragon Villa and set up a trap to kill Iron Dan Shenhou..."
Yuhuatian nodded, he felt it too.
Not similar, just exactly the same.
In order to deal with Zhu Wuwu before, he used the indestructible magical power of the Vajra and the power-absorbing power as a guide to attract people from all walks of life to sneak into the capital. The purpose was to use the hands of the Jianghu people to deal with Zhu Wuwu, and he would come out to clean up the mess in the end.
And this time, the same is true.
Some people use city-linked treasures and the so-called peerless magic layout to attract people from all walks of life to Jingzhou City.
What the purpose is is currently unknown.
But Yuhuatian always had a hunch that the person behind the spread of the news was probably coming for him!
Tan Luzi hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Supervisor, could it be the Qinglong Society..."
Yu Huatian narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded: "If there is a possibility, send a message to Murong Qiudi and let her people find the source of the news. In addition, send someone to Jingzhou City to see if the treasure is true. "
Liancheng Treasure, this is the plot in Jin Yong's martial arts "Liancheng Jue". If the plot remains unchanged, then the treasure thing is probably true.
But in this mixed martial arts world, Yuhuatian is not sure.
Still have to check first.
"Yes, Lord Governor!" Tan Luzi solemnly handed over his hands, then turned and left.
Yu Huatian pondered for a moment, then looked at Cao Zhengchun, who was still standing there waiting, and said, "Is everything at Yuhua Palace ready?"
Cao Zhengchun hurriedly stepped forward and replied respectfully: "We are ready to report to the governor. Our people are all watching to make sure not a single fly can fly out."
"Um."
Yu Huatian nodded, then looked at the green-faced killer Zhao Tong on the side, and said calmly: "Let Ye Gucheng take action, do it cleanly, and don't let anyone find out."
"As you command!"
Zhao Tong bowed respectfully and then left.
Yu Huatian sat on the Grand Master's chair and looked towards the direction of the palace, murderous intent raging in his eyes.
Before things in the palace were settled, another city-wide treasure came out.
If this matter is true, then he must go to Jingzhou City in person.
Except for Zhu Youxiao, he is the most powerful person in the capital now. It is inappropriate for anyone else to go except him.
But before leaving, Jiang Yuyan's hidden danger must be solved first.
This woman is cruel and extremely ambitious and must be eliminated as soon as possible!
Yu Huatian stood up, looked at Cao Zhengchun, and said, "Cao Zhengchun, follow me into the palace and see how the emperor's health is."
After Concubine Wan Gui died, Jiang Yuyan was now Zhu Youxiao's only favorite concubine. Because of Concubine Wan Gui's suicide two days ago, Zhu Youxiao felt guilty, and due to physical reasons, he went to Yuhua Palace much less often, otherwise Before, Zhu Youxiao basically went to Yuhua Palace to stay overnight every night, and even stayed with Jiang Yuyan during the day.
But now that Zhu Youxiao's health is gradually improving, there is no guarantee that he will not suddenly show off his prostitution in the daytime and go to Yuhua Palace to find Jiang Yuyan to drive a pile.
So Yuhuatian had to find a way to hold Zhu Youxiao down.
"Yes, Lord Governor!"
Cao Zhengchun bowed to accept the order, and then followed Yuhuatian out to the palace.
…
Imperial Palace, Qianqing Palace.
After the God-eating Gu was removed from his body, and with Ge Bing and other miracle doctors working together to treat him, Zhu Youxiao's complexion looked much better and he was already dealing with government affairs.
As winter approaches, government affairs become much busier again.
Just preventing snow disasters and freezing disasters every year is a big problem and requires spending countless amounts of money, otherwise thousands of people will be killed or injured.
Although the current national treasury is not short of money for the time being, when it comes to such a huge amount of money, many things still need to be checked by Zhu Youxiao personally to prevent anyone from enriching his own pockets and embezzling public funds.
After Liu Jin died, Zhu Youxiao was replaced by a young eunuch, which was arranged by Yu Huatian himself.
Seeing Yu Huatian coming, the little eunuch quickly reminded: "Your Majesty, Lord Yu is here."
"Um?"
Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao put down the memorial in his hand and looked up. As expected, he saw a figure wearing a silver python robe striding in at the door of the hall. It was Yu Huatian.
Zhu Youxiao's face softened slightly, and he waved his hand to signal the little eunuch to go out. Then he waved to Yu Huatian and said, "Aiqing is here? Sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yu Huatian looked calm and did not refuse. He walked directly to the chair next to him and sat down.
Cao Zhengchun stood aside honestly, not daring to have any thoughts.
"The emperor's complexion looks much better these past two days." Yu Huatian looked at Zhu Youxiao and said lightly.
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said with emotion: "Yes, it seems that what I heard from Aiqing is indeed correct. After being treated by those miracle doctors last time, when I woke up, I felt that my body was more relaxed than ever before, and my appetite has been good these days. A lot."
Hearing this, Yuhuatian smiled lightly and said nothing.
In order to prevent Zhu Youxiao from worrying and affecting his mood, Yuhuatian never told him that he was poisoned. Zhu Youxiao always thought that he was just born with poor health, and the last time he fell into the water, the root of the disease was left.
And now that the poison has been eliminated, there is no need to tell him.
Sometimes the unknown is also a blessing.
Yuhuatian said softly: "Those miraculous doctors are quite capable. As long as the emperor is willing to cooperate with their treatment, his body will get better day by day in the future."
Zhu Youxiao grinned and nodded repeatedly: "I'll listen to Aiqing."
After experiencing several rebellions, Zhu Youxiao has thoroughly seen who is the person who is sincerely good to him. Now he has great trust in Yuhuatian.
Where can he find such a minister who is loyal to the Ming Dynasty and always cares about his own body?
Moreover, after Concubine Wan Gui hanged herself, Zhu Youxiao also figured out a lot of things, that is, people must know how to cherish and not regret after losing it. By then it will be too late.
So facing Yu Huatian at this moment, he really felt sincere.
Seeing the smile on Zhu Youxiao's face, Yuhuatian also smiled.
You treat me as a scholar of the country, and I will repay you as a scholar of the country.
He has no interest in the throne, and as long as Zhu Youxiao lives up to him, he will not think about rebellion.
His pursuit, from beginning to end, was not here.
At this time, Zhu Youxiao seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "By the way, dear, I heard that a city-linked treasure was found in the world recently. Is this true?"
Yuhuatian was slightly startled, then nodded and said: "Your Majesty, I have sent someone to investigate this matter. I believe the authenticity of this matter will be confirmed soon."
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "Then my dear, I have to give you something more. Although my Ming Dynasty is not short of money for the time being, if there really is such a priceless treasure, no matter what, we cannot let it fall to the ground." In the hands of outsiders.”
"Yes, I understand."
Yuhuatian nodded slightly, he knew what Zhu Youxiao meant.
If this treasure is real, then even if the court cannot get it, no one else can get it.
Because such a huge wealth, no matter who controls it, will slowly breed ambition and even rebellion.
This is a situation that no emperor wants to see.
Therefore, before these situations happen, we must first think of ways to nip them in the bud.
"Don't worry about your work." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.
"Your Majesty is so complimentary." Yuhuatian smiled faintly.
Next, he dragged Zhu Youxiao to talk here and there, and even told Zhu Youxiao some interesting stories about the world.
Anyway, his purpose was just to hold Zhu Youxiao back, it didn't matter what he said.
Perhaps it was because of Zhu Youxiao's improved health. He was in a good mood recently and had gradually gotten over the incident of Concubine Wan Gui's suicide. He was happy to listen to Yu Huatian's chat.
In this way, while Zhu Youxiao was reviewing the memorial and occasionally chatting with Yu Huatian, the monarch and his ministers stayed in the Qianqing Palace for the whole afternoon.
Of course, the two of them didn't do anything, just chatting.
…
And just when Yuhuatian was chatting with Zhu Youxiao in Qianqing Palace.
On the other side, in Yuhua Palace.
Jiang Yuyan, who was dressed in palace attire and had a voluptuous figure, was sitting cross-legged on the bed in the palace to practice martial arts, and her body exuded a frightening and terrifying power.
Ta Ta ~
But at this moment, a burst of footsteps suddenly sounded in the originally quiet palace, and then a figure appeared in the palace. Looking at Jiang Yuyan on the bed, a touch of surprise appeared in his eyes, and he said:
"It's really surprising that you have practiced martial arts."
"who?!"
Jiang Yuyan was startled and suddenly opened her eyes. Then without thinking, she struck the direction of the sound with a palm.
boom--
A streak of sky-blue energy suddenly broke through the air, bringing with it a sharp strong wind.
However, as soon as this true energy approached the figure, it disappeared without a trace.
Jiang Yuyan's pupils shrank suddenly, she turned around and looked, her face suddenly changed: "It's you! Ye Gucheng?!"
The person who came was dressed in white, had an aloof and stern appearance, and was holding a Feihong Sword. It was Ye Gucheng.
The last time Prince Fu rebelled, Jiang Yuyan was by Zhu Youxiao's side, and she had naturally met the famous Feixian Island Sword Master.
Looking at Ye Gucheng sneaking into Yuhua Palace, she looked wary and said: "Ye Gucheng, what do you want to do when you break into my palace?"
Ye Gucheng glanced at her and said calmly: "Don't worry, I'm not interested in a woman like you."
When Jiang Yuyan heard this, her face suddenly turned pale, and then she stretched out her hand to grab it, her true energy surged, and a strong suction force suddenly appeared in her palm.
But this suction force also had no effect on Ye Gucheng. He just felt the movement of the true energy in his body, and a trace of surprise appeared in Ye Gucheng's eyes: "Absorbing power through the air? Zhu Wuwu's method of absorbing power?"
"I look down on you a little."
Ye Gucheng said, his eyes narrowed slightly, his figure flashed, and he appeared in front of Jiang Yuyan in an instant, grabbing Jiang Yuyan's shoulder.
Jiang Yuyan's face changed slightly, and she immediately wanted to escape.
But the next moment, she discovered to her horror that no matter how fast she was, that slender palm was always following her and she couldn't avoid it at all.
The strength gap is too big.
In front of this Feixian Island Sword Master, she had no power to fight back.
puff--
He grabbed Jiang Yuyan's shoulder and locked it with the powerful sword intent. Then a stronger infuriating force surged out, directly suppressing the infuriating energy in Jiang Yuyan's body.
Jiang Yuyan slumped down, her face turned pale, she stared at Ye Gucheng, gritted her teeth and said, "Ye Gucheng, what on earth do you want to do?!"
Ye Gucheng said calmly: "You will know what you want to do soon. It won't be you anyway."
Jiang Yuyan: "..."
After saying that, Ye Gucheng didn't mean to talk nonsense with her anymore, and put his hand on her chest. Jiang Yuyan immediately rolled her eyes and fainted.
Then Ye Gucheng grabbed Jiang Yuyan and wanted to leave.
But at this moment, a powerful aura suddenly appeared in the hall, locking Ye Gucheng.
Ye Gucheng's expression changed slightly, and he quickly looked up, only to see an imposing figure appear in front of him, staring at him coldly.
It's Zheng He!
Seeing Zheng He, Ye Gucheng looked solemn.
Yuhuatian wanted to take Jiang Yuyan away secretly first. In order to prevent Zheng He from being alerted, Yuhuatian also specially asked him to come, just to prevent Zheng He from getting involved in the matter.
But he didn't expect that Jiang Yuyan would actually know martial arts, and the news of the two fighting still alarmed Zheng He.
Ye Gucheng sighed in his heart, was silent for a moment, bowed slightly to Zheng He, and said, "I have met the senior."
Zheng He ignored it and still stared at him coldly: "What does Yuhuatian want to do?"
He knew that Ye Gucheng was from Yuhuatian.
With Ye Gucheng's character, it was impossible to do such a thing, so there was only one possibility. It was Yu Huatian's intention to capture Jiang Yuyan.
Thinking of this, a coldness flashed across Zheng He's eyes.
He didn't expect that Yuhuatian would be so rebellious that even the emperor and his concubine would dare to touch him!
Noticing the cold light in Zheng He's eyes, Ye Gucheng said quickly: "Senior, I misunderstood. There is another reason for this matter. Senior should understand the governor. The governor has no ill intentions towards the emperor."
Zheng He frowned: "Then what exactly does he want to do by arresting the emperor's concubine?"
Ye Gucheng hesitated for a moment, but chose to tell the truth: "This woman was related to the death of Concubine Wan Gui. She colluded with outsiders to kill Concubine Wan Gui. The other murderer has also been brought to justice at this moment."
Palace fight?
Hearing this, Zheng He immediately understood what Ye Gucheng meant, his brows furrowed a little tighter, and he said in a deep voice: "Since there is evidence, why don't you report it to the emperor, but do it privately?"
Ye Gucheng was silent for a moment and said: "Senior, who has lived in the palace for a long time, should know how much the emperor loves this woman. He even abandoned the government for her. Even if the emperor knew the truth, he would not have the heart to kill her."
"But my senior also saw it just now. This woman not only colluded with outsiders and harmed Zhongliang, but also secretly practiced martial arts. She obviously had evil intentions. If she is allowed to live, I'm afraid there will be no peace in the palace."
"Moreover, the Emperor's health is not good, yet he still engages in sex with this woman every night. If this continues for a long time, I'm afraid..."
Having said this, Ye Gucheng shook his head and said nothing more.
But Zheng He's expression changed slightly, and he immediately understood what he meant.
He knew that what Ye Gucheng said was not alarmist.
Keeping such a dangerous woman in the palace is indeed a disaster.
Zheng He was silent for a long time, glanced at the unconscious Jiang Yuyan in Ye Gucheng's arms, and said, "I won't do this next time. Go back and tell Yuhuatian that you must follow the rules when doing things in the future."
Ye Gucheng felt relieved, and without saying much, he nodded and said, "I will report the truth to the governor."
After saying that, he hugged Jiang Yuyan and quickly disappeared into the palace.
At this time, a clear light flashed in the hall, and another figure appeared in the hall. The person who came was none other than Mighty King Xu Ruowu.
Xu Ruowu looked at the direction Ye Gucheng was leaving, frowned, and said, "This kid's behavior is becoming more and more unruly. Are you sure he won't harm our Ming Dynasty in the future?"
"Not sure." Zheng He shook his head.
Xu Ruowu: "..."
Zheng He was silent for a moment and said: "With a broken body, he cannot sit on the throne. At least until he breaks through to heaven, he dare not do this. But if he breaks through to heaven, he will no longer be interested in this position." .”
Xu Ruowu said in a deep voice: "Does he want to be the uncrowned king?"
Zheng He said silently: "At present, it seems that it is very possible."
Xu Ruowu frowned: "What on earth does he want to do?!"
Zheng He shook his head and sighed, saying: "This son has great ambitions. I suspect that his goal is not just as simple as becoming the uncrowned king of the Ming Dynasty..."
A look of horror appeared in Xu Ruowu's eyes: "You mean, he still wants to start a war and aims at the entire China?!"
"Who knows?"
Zheng He shook his head: "It's just a guess, I can't tell yet."
As he spoke, he sighed softly: "Let's take it one step at a time. While we are still barely able to suppress him, if we can, we can persuade him more. The Ming Dynasty cannot be destroyed in his hands."
After saying that, Zheng He turned and left.
The place was empty and silent.
advise?
If a person develops ambition, who can stop him?
…
Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Youjian and Yuhuatian had a very happy conversation, and the monarch and his ministers had a heart-to-heart relationship and enjoyed themselves happily.
But at this time, a guard of the imperial army suddenly came to report, with an anxious look on his face: "Your Majesty, it's not good, the Yuhua Palace was attacked, and Concubine Jing was taken away!"
"What?!"
Zhu Youxiao was immediately shocked and stood up quickly: "Who is so bold and dares to arrest people in the palace?!"
The imperial guards looked ugly and said: "This person has extremely high martial arts skills and did not alert the patrolling guards. We have not found him yet."
Zhu Youxiao was furious: "You idiots, what do I do to feed you? You don't even know if I let people sneak into the palace?!"
With that said, Zhu Youxiao turned to look at Yuhuatian and said angrily:
"Yu Huatian, I asked you to take charge of the harem, and the East and West Second Factory and the Jinyiwei were handed over to you. Is this the result of you handing it over to me?!"
Yu Huatian was not in a hurry, stood up and cupped his hands and said: "I know that I am guilty, please punish me."
"What's the point of punishing now?!"
Zhu Youxiao said angrily: "Go and check immediately, seal off the whole city for me, we must find Concubine Jing and ensure her safety!"
People can be found, but safety cannot be guaranteed.
Yuhuatian looked calm and didn't say much. He cupped his hands and said, "I accept the order."
After saying that, he turned and left.
In the hall, Zhu Youxiao looked anxious and had no intention of reviewing the memorial. He kept pacing back and forth in the hall.
In the end, I was still worried and rushed to Yuhua Palace in person, ready to see the scene.
Concubine Wan Gui is dead, Concubine Jing Jiang Yuyan is his last physical and mental sustenance, but nothing happens!
