Zhang Yunke took the military report, and rushed to the palace to present it without stopping, and Emperor Qitai received the signal: "You dismantle it and read it." ”

Zhang Yunke unfolded the excerpt and read lightly: "The minister and the cloud report the emperor's great victory......"

After a pause, he glanced at Emperor Qitai and read it aloud, talking about how to arrive in Huzhou, transfer troops to the front-line counties, and deploy troops to defeat the enemy's victory.

"The emperor is holy, the heavens are silent, my emperor Xu, King Lu is perverse, slaughtering the city, losing the hearts of the people, and the counties along the way are all ......"

"I don't need to read it later. Emperor Qitai said, seeing Zhang Yun stunned, he smiled faintly, and said: "It's not just Congyun, Li Pan of Chuzhou, and Huang Yuanzhen of Beiyuan Prefecture have all reported successes, and some have not yet arrived, but in a few days, they will definitely arrive." ”

"Alas...... King Lu's power has collapsed, I really don't know what to do with it, and my father only has three sons who are adults...... I think back then, we were also brothers, friends and brothers. Speaking of this, Emperor Qitai swallowed a bitter and astringent saliva: "Don't talk about this, I called you here, not for this matter, but to discuss the matter of the true monarch." ”

"Pei... What about Zhenjun?" Zhang Yunke hesitated.

"Hmm. Emperor Qitai looked at Zhang Yunke and said, "Come on, let the prime minister sit down, and hand the fold up." ”

Zhang Yunke thanked him and opened it, but it was Pei Ziyun's excerpt from the guilt.

The gist of it was that it was unfavorable to encircle and suppress the anti-thieves, and although the enemy was killed, only 100 of the 3,000 people remained, and he specially asked the court for guilt, without mentioning the merits of the overall situation.

At the first glance, Zhang Yunke admired Pei Ziyuntian's intelligence and skill, and then when he looked closely, he felt a chill in his heart: "This person has the danger of mountains and rivers in his heart!"

Zhang Yunke is the prime minister, in fact, he has a very thorough situation, and it is indeed Pei Ziyun's merit to win this battle quickly, but not to mention that Pei Ziyun is a Taoist, even if he is a jinshi who goes up in the regular way, he can only be rewarded for his merits.

The process is like this, first reseal, and then according to the size of the emperor's feelings, or find a small one, or thunder, half of which is decided by the reaction of the parties.

Some people may say that at this time, you can defile yourself, this is actually the way to die, if you defile yourself, the small has no effect, and the big one, the emperor or the courtiers are happy - the prince violates the law and the people are guilty of the same crime, kill and kill!

Therefore, it must be polluted, what is public pollution, it is what Pei Ziyun wrote on the fold of the crime - first of all, it is to encircle and suppress the anti-thief, this matter is extremely correct, and no one can find a mistake

Then although the matter was done, the enemy leader was killed, but the loss was very large, and he pleaded guilty to the court - it was impossible to be perfect in handling affairs, if even this was strict, the officials in the world would not do anything.

Therefore, this fold has paved the court and his steps, even the prime minister, he has truly seen this person's mental skills!

Another burst of thunder came, not very loud, but very close, Zhang Yunke frowned and pondered, breathed a sigh of silence, and said thoughtfully: "Pei Zhenjun is still dedicated to being the king, but he chased the enemy too fiercely, resulting in an ambush, and the loss is a little big. ”

Emperor Qitai listened very carefully, pondered, bit his lip with thin teeth, and said, "In the past, I felt that my father was sometimes too harsh, but when I reached this position, I knew the difficulty. ”

"Sometimes, it's really hard to have both. ”

These words are clueless, but Zhang Yunke's heart sank and he was happy, he knew that Pei Ziyun had indeed made great contributions, and he was happy that the emperor's suspicion was already obvious.

Zhang Yun's subject was faintly shining, and he was about to speak, when Emperor Qitai slowly stood up and said, "Look at this excerpt again—there is a secret fold in Pei Ziyun's appendix, and there is an urgent item from the Daolu Division." ”

Zhang Yunke was stunned and picked it up to read, but after taking a look, he was about to scold the sentence "ridiculous", but he endured it with the effort to nourish his qi.

But looking closely, his heart gradually sank, and it took a long time to settle down, and he frowned tightly and said: "This fact is making it hard for the ministers to believe, King Lu is in Jinzhou, how could he suddenly lead troops to appear in Dongyuan Mountain?"

"It's seven hundred miles away. ”

Zhang Yunke paused for a moment, and then said: "Moreover, it is also noted that the body disappeared, so there is no physical evidence." ”

"As for the demon clan, it's even more ridiculous. ”

"However, after several secret folds, the ministers did not think that they dared to unite to bully the king, and besides, the loss of 3,000 men also proved that they had encountered a great enemy. ”

"The ministers really don't dare to assert the truth of this matter, can they delay a while and the court will investigate it clearly before responding?"

"That's what I mean, I really can't believe it, and I don't dare not believe it. Emperor Qitai said expressionlessly: "You are the prime minister, this matter must be told to you, go, on behalf of the imperial court, investigate clearly." ”

"Yes!"

Seeing Zhang Yunke go out, the emperor turned around and faced a person: "How is the matter of Daomen?"

Gonggong Huang bowed: "The slave has sent a letter, and no one can refuse to convene it through the matter of the demon clan." ”

Emperor Qitai nodded and stopped talking.

Reflection on the Spirit

The mountains are stacked on top of each other, the forests are verdant, the palace is built with the mountains and the water behind them, and at this time the top of the mountain is full of clouds and mist, a round of the sun rises, a Taoist spits, and a stream of white gas continues to enter and exit with a breath and a breath.

The wind blew, the clothes of the Taoist were blown, and his face was in his twenties, but there were a few strands of white hair.

At this moment, a Taoist hurried up to the top of the mountain, holding a letter in his hand, watching the Taoist practicing and waiting on the side.

After a long time, the movement stopped, and then the Taoist stepped forward and whispered: "Teaching, the Daolu Division sent a secret letter." ”

"Hmph, we are Taoists, and we are not suitable for being too closely implicated with the imperial court. Zhangjiao showed a little disgust, wiped his hands with a wet towel, and was about to leave, the Taoist was a little hurried: "Zhangjiao, it is about Pei Zhenjun, and it is said that it is also about the secret of King Lu!"

Hearing this, the face of the master changed, and he turned to look at the Taoist, who knew that the master was moved, and hurriedly stepped forward to hand over the letter.

He tore open the letter and looked at it, just a few glances: "What? Iron Body? Demon Army? This is really incredible. ”

After being stunned for a long time, the man said: "It seems that the capital must go on a journey, and I will transfer twenty disciples to follow me into the capital." ”

"Yes, Master!" responded to the Taoist who followed.

This happened in different sects, or hesitated, or responded to the edict, or secretly inquired.

Heavenly Maiden Palace

Tiannv Palace has a long history, it is built by the previous dynasty, it is preserved so far, it is a formal ritual, there is moss emerald green between the gaps of the blue bricks, the water droplets are dotted, like a pearl, all the way in, the ground is paved with bluestone slabs, the grass germinates left and right, and it is full of vitality.

And in the bluestone path, more than a dozen people strolled, enjoying the spring scenery, the wind blows, there is a chill drilled in, but these people don't care, their faces are ruddy, chatting among them, and laughter comes from time to time.

"The spring thunder sounds, the flowers bloom and bear fruit, it is wonderful, and the Tao is in it. A middle-aged man in a moon-white robe shook his head and said.

Pingtianguan Zhangjiao sneered, stretched out his fingers and pinched a flower branch and plucked it: "Fellow Daoists, don't play the Dao machine, we don't have idle time to waste, Pei Zhenjun is extremely talented, just in his twenties, he will become an earth immortal, and survive the thunder tribulation, it is really terrifying, if you let it go, it will be the next Daojun, what do you think?"

The head of the Xuanfa Sect also immediately answered, and his tone was cold: "Not only that, but there is also information that Pei Ziyun not only survived the thunder tribulation, but even reached the incorruptible body of King Kong soon, but it is enviable." ”

"We can't become earth immortals when we are small, but how can Songyunmen provide for earth immortals? It feels incredible, what do you think?"

This palm said, with jealousy in his eyes, but these words tickled people's hearts like cat's paws.

The original Taoist people suddenly quieted down, it is very difficult to become an earth immortal, who is not talented, or a hero, not for the prosperity of the world, just to seek the Tao to become an immortal, but no one can cross this level, this has nothing to do with qualifications, only the leyline.

"Songyun Gate is out of the earth immortals, where is it still a small sect? The first gate in the south is not too much. In the silence, the head of the Donghua sect chuckled, and his words changed: "The King Kong that the head of the Gangxuan Dharma Sect said is not bad is a rumor, but in fact, it is not the case, it is not true. ”

"The court officials are despicable, or they deliberately conceal and provoke our contradictions, but we have been in the family for a long time, how can these imperial court captive eagle dogs know. ”

Everyone froze, and did not speak for a while, but at this time they were in front of a tree, the spring came with tender branches, and the flowers of a stamens exuded a clear fragrance, and everyone seemed to appreciate it. ”

Seeing that everyone was silent, he raised his voice: "Back then, the Dao Monarch rose, the blessed land was promoted, and the earth immortals also had a hand, and the pomp and circumstance were enviable, but after that, the prosperity and decline, the Dao Monarch was asleep, and heaven and earth became more and more harsh on us Daoists. ”

"This person is amazingly talented, but it is not a blessing of the Daomen. ”

"What I said is that the Dao Monarch has declined, and our Dao Sect has flourished and declined, and now we really can't afford another Dao Monarch. The head of the Xuanfa Sect said, repeating repeatedly: "We can't afford it." ”

The head of the Donghua sect showed a little sarcasm, and in a flash, a small eunuch in the distance led a red-clothed eunuch to come, and these Taoists stopped talking and stopped talking.

The Heavenly Maiden Palace is not too big, but the corridor is tortuous, bypassing a rockery pond, and a pine forest, the little eunuch is holding the red-clothed eunuch and whispering: "The little one has something to say." ”

"Speak" Huang Gonggong said, and the little eunuch took out one from his sleeve and handed it over: "Godfather, now there are twenty-four masters, and hundreds of Taoists have gathered." ”

Seeing Huang Gonggong reading, the little eunuch stepped forward and said, "Godfather, Pei Zhenjun is not a Taoist? Looking at the appearance of these masters, some of them can't wait to eat the meat and drink the blood, why is this?"

"Hmph" Huang Gonggong snorted coldly twice: "If you weren't my nephew and worship me as a father, I wouldn't have instructed you - we are all servants, but are you willing to see Xiao Pingzi climb higher than you and climb on your head?"

"No," the little eunuch realized.

"Daoists are also people, in fact, Taoists are much better than the Sprinkler family. Huang Gonggong patted the document in his hand: "The people who fell into the well and wanted to kill Pei Ziyun were only forty percent, and their ethics were already very good compared to some civil officials." ”

As he spoke, he was already close, but he was silent, and he saw more than 20 Taoist people bowing down together: "I'll wait to meet Gonggong Huang." ”

"Please, you are all real people, we don't dare to be it. Huang Gonggong smiled and said sharply: "You can enter Beijing at the starry night, you are really loyal, I believe that you will gain something in Beijing for a few days." ”
