Prince Qi's Mansion.
King Zhu Su of Qi looked at the young woman approaching with a cold smile in his eyes. On either side stood twenty guards with swords, looking fierce and murderous.
The mo'er and the wide sleeves come lightly, like strolling in a courtyard, leisurely and contented.
"Meet the prince."
The two of them saluted.
Zhu Mu slapped the table and said sternly: "You still dare to come to my Qingzhou Mansion, come on, arrest me!"
Wow!
The guard stepped forward, placing the blade on his jade neck. With just a little force, the two of them will die.
Mo'er looked calm and lightly opened her lips: "The reason why we are here is to save the prince. If the prince kills us, haha, I believe that in less than two months, the imperial army will crush the Qingzhou Palace..."
"What do you mean?"
Zhu Shu was startled and his momentum weakened.
Guang Xiu raised his hand, pushed away the sharp edge, and took a step forward: "Your Majesty, this is not the first time we have met, so there is no need for intimidation tricks, right? We still have business to do, so please step aside, Your Majesty."
Zhu Shu squinted his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then waved away the guards, leaving only two confidants. He said to them: "Mother Buddha mentioned that you were coming when she left. I haven't seen you for so long. I thought I was trapped in Yanzhou. How can I do that?" I think you managed to escape, so you have some skills."
Guangxiu and Mo'er were still frightened. After sending Kong Ne away, they began to retreat. When the city gate opened, they went down the river. It was smooth. However, they were tracked by the security bureau on the way, and they had no choice but to hide in the countryside. In the meantime, I found an opportunity to come to Qingzhou.
The Security Bureau's net was cast too wide and too quickly.
"These are just small things, but it's up to you whether the prince has gone too far. I heard that people from the Security Bureau lost several good people in Qingzhou Mansion."
Guangxiu asked with a cold face.
Zhu Zhu walked towards Guangxiu angrily, slapped Guangxiu suddenly, and knocked Guangxiu to the ground. He said sternly: "You are not a Buddha's mother, so don't talk to me in the tone of a Buddha's mother! Why are people from the Security Bureau chasing me?" When we get to Qingzhou, don’t you, the White Lotus Sect, not understand? Fortunately, the Buddha Mother has left Shandong. If Pang Huan catches her, how can we, Qingzhou, protect her?"
"elder sister!"
Mo'er quickly supported Guangxiu, turned to Zhu Su and shouted: "Is this the way the prince treats guests?"
Zhu Shu retracted his hand and said disdainfully: "This is the result of her disrespecting the king! If you are so reckless again, the Buddha Mother will not be able to protect you! Don't forget, you are here just for refuge! Tell me, what will happen to you? What news is coming?”
Mo'er was about to speak, but Guangxiu secretly pulled her, covered her cheek, stood up and said, "It's nothing, I just want to tell the prince that the security bureau has been to Dongchang and is already investigating the old incident of Jingzhe."
"Jingzhe? Isn't he already dead? Is there anything else we can investigate?"
Zhu Shu frowned.
Guangxiu shook his head and said: "We don't know the inside story of this matter. If the prince thinks that there are no mistakes, then naturally he can rest easy. But if there is really a mistake, I will leave it to the prince to judge whether it is a hidden danger."
Zhu Shu thought for a moment, his face became a little gloomy, and he muttered: "Cong Laojiu is dead, no one will remember what happened back then."
Guangxiu nodded slightly and said: "In that case, I have no worries. I just ask the prince to be more careful. According to the observation of the White Lotus Sect believers, there is a powerful person beside Pang Huan. I am afraid he is from the capital."
This time Zhu Shu didn't refute.
Zhu Shu is well aware of the power of the Security Bureau. Although people from the Security Bureau have entered Qingzhou Mansion and even Prince Qi's Mansion many times, they have been dealt with secretly. As for his body, it was naturally transported out of Qingzhou Mansion. Dispose of it in an irrelevant place.
In order to prevent the Security Bureau from always spying on Qingzhou Mansion, Zhu Shu also ordered people to forge Security Bureau documents and deliver false news.
But, how long can things continue to be hidden?
Zhu Ming didn't know, but there was no need to worry, because under his own curse, Zhu Yunwen would definitely die!
The informants left in the capital came to report that Zhu Yunwen moved from the palace to Houhu due to physical discomfort. This was a sign that Zhu Yunwen was about to die.
As long as we wait for a while, there will definitely be new news.
Once Zhu Yunwen dies, he can directly lead his troops out to sea in a giant boat, go south along the coast, drive directly to the Yangtze River, go upstream, arrive outside Nanjing, conquer Nanjing in one fell swoop, and ascend to the throne!
Thinking of this, Zhu Shu could not help but feel a little hot in his heart. He did not ask Guang Xiu and Mo'er, and asked his servants to take them to rest. At the same time, he ordered someone to invite Danyangzi.
After settling down, Mo'er looked at Guangxiu's gloomy face and asked in a low voice: "Why didn't you tell King Qi about the bloody clothes?"
Guangxiu's eyes were cold, and he bit his silver teeth gently, with resentment: "Even the Buddha Mother has never beaten me, so who is he? If he was not born in the emperor's family, he would be just a waste!"
Seeing Guang Xiu being so angry, Mo'er quickly said: "Sister, we should put important things first. We have pledged our bodies and souls to Maitreya, and we must not ruin our plans because of our physical humiliation."
Guang Xiu touched his face, still feeling a dull pain, and snorted coldly: "Do you really think that if you hand over the bloody clothes now, King Qi will be safe? Pang Huan is a hunting dog. Once he smells it, he will definitely become poor. I’m still chasing after him, and now there’s a powerful person. I’m afraid it won’t be long before the secret of Qingzhou Mansion can’t be kept.”
Mo'er advised: "At least handing over the bloody clothes can alert the King of Qi and find out who is secretly using all possible means to inform the court, so that the matter will not be exposed in advance. If the timing is not right and the King of Qi falls in advance, it will affect our plan Even more disadvantageous.”
Guangxiu shook his head and strengthened his opinion: "The purpose of our White Lotus Sect is not whether King Qi rebels or not. It is good if he rebels. If he does not rebel, there will be no loss to us if he falls in Qingzhou. Because here The people have hated the government and the vassal king, and will completely side with our White Lotus Sect. The followers are our goal!"
Mo'er stamped her feet anxiously and said, "Buddha Mother said, let us help King Qi overcome the crisis and prompt him to raise troops to go south. If you delay the Buddha Mother's arrangements, neither of us will have a hard time!"
Guangxiu stood up, found a pair of scissors, took out the bloody clothes, cut them into pieces on the ground in front of Mo'er, looked at Mo'er and said: "Buddha's mother said, you must learn to make decisions on the fly, and you must not stick to the rules. This matter Either report it to King Qi immediately, or shut up forever, sister, and forget about this matter."
Seeing this, Mo'er couldn't say anything else.
One slap changed everything.
I wonder if King Qi will regret it if he finds out about it later.
Danyangzi was very proud now. He had been worried and pretending to be ill for a while. Suddenly, he received a great reward. Needless to say, the news must have come from the capital that Zhu Yunwen was ill.
Danyangzi, who couldn't believe all this, also began to wonder, could it be possible that piercing a straw man and casting a spell could really curse people to get sick or even die?
Aren’t these Taoisms all deceptive tricks?
Looking at King Qi's excited expression and admiring gaze, Danyangzi finally confirmed that Taoism is credible. Since Taoism is credible, it must be true that the golden elixir secret technique of "Ladder to Heaven" is hidden in Wudang Mountain. As long as you get this secret technique and practice the golden elixir, you may not be able to live forever!
However, it is no longer possible to obtain the "Ladder to Heaven" through the Taoist identity. We can only rely on the power of the imperial power. The vassal king does not have the power to influence Wudang Mountain. Now, we can only prompt King Qi to rebel and let him succeed.
Only in this way can he become the leader of Wudang Mountain. By then, won’t all the secret techniques be just a matter of words?
However, I can't stay in Qingzhou anymore, at least not now. Who knows if Zhu Yunwen will die. I am sick now. What if he doesn't die?
When the time comes, he will inevitably be stabbed.
"Your Majesty, I have been reading the classics recently and found out that there are spiritual stones conceived in Mount Tai. If you can collect them and refine them into elixirs, it will definitely increase your luck and help your Majesty's great cause."
Danyangzi said sincerely.
Zhu Shu was extremely satisfied and said excitedly: "In that case, I would like to ask the Taoist Priest to take a trip. However, something big may happen in the south at any time. If the Taoist Priest goes there, he must go back as soon as possible."
Danyangzi quickly said yes.
As long as you leave Qingzhou City, whether you will come back in the future depends on whether you can succeed. If you succeed, you will come naturally. If you fail, who will accompany you to hell.
Zhu Shu did not deceive Danyangzi and really let him go. However, he arranged four guards, euphemistically called followers.
Danyangzi had no choice but to take two disciples and four followers to Mount Tai.
Capital.
This day should be the morning court, and there was no news in the palace that the morning court was cancelled. However, after the officials arrived, no one could wait for the emperor.
Jie Jin was also a little confused. Zhu Yunwen was very self-disciplined. He never came late on weekdays. Even if he was late, he would arrange for the servant to inform him in advance. But today, there was no announcement and no one came. What's going on?
Yu Xin and Huang Zicheng were speculating, and the officials were also whispering to each other.
The Emperor doesn't come, but you can't miss work early. What if the Emperor comes and you leave, how will you deal with the situation?
Seeing that it was almost three o'clock in the morning and it was time for lunch, the chamberlain shouted at the top of his lungs: "The Emperor has arrived."
Everyone immediately cheered up and saw Zhu Yunwen entering the court before kneeling down to salute.
After Zhu Yunwen sat down, he said to the officials in a hoarse voice: "I occasionally felt cold today. I originally wanted to come to court after taking medicine, but unexpectedly I felt sleepy. I took a nap, but I kept everyone waiting for a long time."
Naturally, all the officials did not dare to care about it and just greeted him with greetings.
Zhu Yunwen smiled and waved his hand, and said: "The imperial doctor said that the recent heat has been too severe, and I have not had a good rest, which is why I feel unwell. I will go to court today and will not listen to your report. Let me tell you a few things."
"First, Shanxi must do a good job in supporting immigrants. The Ministry of Industry and local governments must cooperate and never let the people suffer. If there are no houses and residences in the local area, the residences of wealthy households will be requisitioned and money and food subsidies will be given. If they do not obey, they can Report to the prefect or chief envoy for forced recruitment, and report to the court at the same time."
"Secondly, the money and food required for dredging the Huitong River must be provided in place. The Ministry of Household Affairs should do a good job in auditing and the Metropolitan Procuratorate should do a good job in supervision. There should be no shortage of one month's amount. The third one is related to the vital interests of all of you, dear ministers..."
