"Bai Yujing in the sky, twelve cities on the fifth floor. The immortals touched my top and gave me immortality".

These four lines of poetry do not describe the world of immortals, but the real things in the world.

Bai Yujing is in the middle of the world, "the rivers and mountains are worn together, and the situation is the best in the world". The land is fertile, the shipping is convenient, and it extends in all directions, which is really the foundation of the emperor. For thousands of years, no matter how the world changes dynasties, Bai Yujing will always be the unchanging imperial capital.

Today's Great Wei Dynasty is also set in Baiyujing. The Great Wei ruled the world and was divided into two parts: the outer court and the inner court. The inner court is the fifth floor, headed by the embroidered spring building. The outer courtyard is dominated by the six cabinet departments.

In terms of name, of course, the six cabinet ministries are more formal. But if in terms of the degree of trust of the Son of Heaven, it is obvious that the fifth floor is more superior.

As for the twelve cities, the correct name should be the twelve dry cities. A total of 12 outstanding ministers who were recognized as "the dry city of the country" by both the government and the opposition. Among them, the old prime minister Yan Chongyan is in charge of the cabinet. Zhuge Zhengming Zhuge Taifu is in charge of the embroidered spring building. The two are the heads of the ministers of the inner and outer courts, and they are the most trusted by the Son of Heaven.

In fact, Prime Minister Yan and Zhuge Taifu have no grievances in private. However, there is considerable overlap between the inner court and the outer court. In order to compete for power, the officials of the inner court and the outer court had to have conflicts. Therefore, the two famous ministers never met in private. Even at the imperial court, it was rare to appear at the same time.

Today, however, is clearly an exceptional day.

In Baiyujing, in the imperial city, in the study of the Palace of Nourishing the Heart where the Son of Heaven lives every day, at this moment, Zhuge Taifu and Prime Minister Yan are wearing official robes, holding a wat board, and are waiting quietly. There was no one else in the warm pavilion except for a few little eunuchs who were waiting for their daily life. But whether it is Zhuge Taifu or Prime Minister Yan, they are all looking at their noses and noses, their noses and hearts, each bowing their heads and staring, and they have no intention of talking to each other at all.

Half an hour later, behind the screen, there was a sudden sound of footsteps. Immediately afterwards, a famous eunuch was heard shouting in a shrill voice: "Your Majesty has arrived." Welcome. ”

In the midst of the shouting, a figure stepped out from behind the screen. He was very young, but he was heroic between his eyebrows, his eyes were bright, his steps were light, he wore a white jade crown, and he was wearing a civilian dress mainly bright yellow, and the corners and sleeves of his robe were embroidered with gold thread and decorated with a five-clawed golden dragon. Dressed like this, even if there is no eunuch to announce it, his identity is revealed. It is the day of the day.

The Son of Heaven walked up the jade steps and sat down on the dragon chair behind the desk. Zhuge Taifu and Old Prime Minister Yan took a step forward together, bowed and saluted: "Minister, see Your Majesty." Your Majesty's longevity knows no bounds. ”

The Son of Heaven waved his hand and said with a pleasant face: "The old prime minister, the Taifu, the two of you are exempt." Come on, give you two a seat. ”

The eunuchs who were waiting in the upper study hurriedly moved two embroidery piers. The two leaders of the kingdom thanked each other, and then sat down separately.

The Son of Heaven was the first to speak: "Old Prime Minister, Taifu." A few days ago, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang presented a recital, saying that the appearance of a divine dragon in Hangzhou was an auspicious omen. I don't know what the details are, what do you two think?"

Zhuge Taifu and Prime Minister Yan glanced at each other, their eyes solemn. Prime Minister Yan said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang has a bad official reputation, and he has always been confused. This time, without a detailed investigation, he rashly reported auspiciousness to the imperial court, and he didn't know what to say. The old minister suggested that the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang should be removed from his post and investigated, and another person should be selected to take office. ”

The Son of Heaven was slightly taken aback, and said, "Dismissal and investigation, don't you have to be so strict, right?"

Prime Minister Yan said categorically: "It must be so." According to historical records, in order to please Emperor Yang of Sui, Yangzhou Assassin Shi said that Qionghua was in full bloom, which was an auspicious omen. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty then mobilized the people, opened the canal to build dragon boats, and the laborers moved the people to Yangzhou to see Qionghua, which finally led to the boiling of public resentment, and the Sui Dynasty died as a result.

Today, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang has come again to report auspiciousness, and it is clear that his heart can be punished! If he is not immediately beheaded by his family, it is already His Majesty's imperial grace and mercy. ”

The Son of Heaven sighed and asked, "Taifu, what do you say?"

Zhuge Taifu arched his hand and said: "What the old prime minister said is extremely true. Your Majesty, do you still remember the edict that the old minister asked His Majesty to send down the feudal marquis of a hundred households and give him a hoe and a traitorous Yujue?"

The Son of Heaven nodded: "Yes." Taifu said that the glazed treasure knife appeared again, and the knife owner intended to dedicate the treasure knife to the imperial court. For such a meritorious service, it is not an exaggeration to reward a hundred household marquis, plus hoeing and raping Yujue. What, does this have anything to do with the auspiciousness of Hangzhou?"

Zhuge Taifu said: "Back to Your Majesty's words, exactly." The one who went to give the seal with the edict was the apprentice of Weichen, Qiu Yeyu. He and Cheng Li, who was given the title, were both in Hangzhou at the time. Witnessed the whole thing with their own eyes. As for the details of the matter, the apprentice has also written a memora and submitted it. His Majesty understood at a glance. ”

After speaking, Zhuge Taifu took out a piece of folding from his arms and presented it with both hands. The eunuch beside the Son of Heaven came over and took it back, took it back and respectfully held it to the Son of Heaven.

The Son of Heaven took it, put it on the imperial case, opened it, and read it. The more I read it, the more ugly it became. After getting it, a little cold sweat oozed on his forehead. I couldn't help but lose my voice and said: "So, the so-called divine dragon that appeared in Hangzhou turned out to be not a divine dragon at all, but a snake demon who had cultivated for thousands of years?

Zhuge Taifu said in a condensed voice: "When that snake demon appeared, it really caused Hangzhou Leifeng Pagoda to collapse. However, there is not much evidence to determine whether the snake demon is the legendary White Lady, so it is not appropriate to jump to conclusions. It is even more inappropriate to start from this point to determine the attitude of the imperial court towards the snake demon. ”

The Son of Heaven bowed slightly, but he still couldn't help but say: "If it is really the legendary White Lady, then although it is an alien body, it is just a poor infatuated woman." If you think about it, it's also very sympathetic.

Not to mention this for the time being, it turned out that so many thrilling things happened in Hangzhou that day, which was really unexpected. Alas~ It's just...... It's just...... It's a pity that Yan is too often. ”

Shaking his head, the Son of Heaven condoled to Prime Minister Yan: "Old Prime Minister, please mourn and change." ”

Old Prime Minister Yan's eyebrows showed a bit of sadness, and sighed: "It is a blessing for a child to be able to die for His Majesty." But Canghai Yueminglou has always done things for the imperial court, and this time he actually showed such wolf ambitions and did such a crazy thing, which is really unexpected. ”

The Son of Heaven frowned and said: "The reason why Canghai Yueminglou was able to do things for the imperial court was the result of General Nian's strong recommendation. And now it's like this...... Taifu, do you think General Nian knows?"

Zhuge Taifu shook his head and said: "The stakes are very high, and the minister does not dare to speculate." Your Majesty can issue an edict to let General Nian defend himself. We'll know when the time comes. ”

The Son of Heaven bowed his head and said, "This is the best." Then the old prime minister, Taifu. In your opinion, what should be done about this now?"

Old Prime Minister Yan said in a condensed voice: "The glass treasure knife is very important, and it must not be allowed to wander outside. If someone with a heart gets it, there will be endless troubles. Didn't Your Majesty canonize that Cheng Li as the Marquis of a hundred households for the sake of this knife, and give him a hoe and a traitorous jade jue? Now that the treasure knife is lost, Cheng Baihu is of course duty-bound. It fell on him, and told him to get the sword back within a certain time. Otherwise, hmph, it is the crime of deceiving the king!

The Son of Heaven said: "It's appropriate to deal with it like this." Then ask Taifu to pass on my message to Qiu Qing's family, and order him to urge Cheng Baihu to recover the treasure knife within a time limit, otherwise he will be punished for the crime of bullying the king. What does Taifu think?"

Zhuge Taifu arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty Shengming." There is no objection from the minister. ”

The Son of Heaven hesitated for another moment and said, "About the White Snake...... What should I do?"

Old Prime Minister Yan said solemnly: "Your Majesty, that is a demon, and it will only be for the sake of the common people! For the sake of the people, it must be eradicated as soon as possible." Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

The Son of Heaven smiled bitterly: "Even if the old prime minister is right. But this white snake has great magical powers, and can call the wind and rain, and attract thunder and lightning. How can a mortal deal with it?"

Prime Minister Yan said in a condensed voice: "Raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use them for a while." The imperial court canonized Baisha Academy, Longhua Temple, and Zhenwu Palace as the source of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism in the world. Baisha Academy is an authentic Confucian sect, and the so-called son is silent and strange. This kind of thing can be said to have nothing to do with them. But the two families of Buddhism and Taoism, shouting every day what to subdue demons and subdue demons, are absolutely responsible for this matter. Please ask Your Majesty to issue an order and order the two of them to deal with this snake demon. I am confident that we will be able to achieve a successful outcome. ”

The Son of Heaven nodded again and again: "What the old prime minister said is true." That's it. After a pause, he finally couldn't help it, and said: "Order Longhua Temple and Zhenwu Palace, be sure to capture the snake demon alive as much as possible, and send it back to Bai Yujing for me to see." Unless it is really a last resort, don't hurt the life of the White Lady. ”

Old Prime Minister Yan narrowed his eyes and said, "Obey." Then Your Majesty, if there are no other orders, the old minister will retire. ”

The Son of Heaven stretched out his hand and patted it on the imperial case, saying, "There is one more thing. It's about the Golden Dragons. Hmph, until today, I didn't know. It turns out that there is still an arrogant person in the world, what is Li Yanzhou.

This fanatic actually openly declared that the emperor was just a vain honorific title, and his full strength was limited to the high walls of the imperial city. In the world outside the palace gate, he is the emperor who turns his hands into clouds and turns his hands into rain'?! Damn, it's just a great rebellion! Such a thief, such a gang, I will never tolerate it! The old prime minister, Taifu, immediately sent an edict for me and sent troops to exterminate the Golden Dragon Gang. If anyone can present Li Yanzhou's head to the imperial court, I will make him the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!"

Prime Minister Yan looked deeply, and Zhuge Taifu showed a slight regret. The two stood up at the same time and said in unison: "The minister obeys the order." ”

The Son of Heaven nodded and waved to end the meeting. The two bowed and bowed, and each of them exited the upper study. When the two of them were far away, the expression on the face of the Son of Heaven suddenly froze, and the somewhat frivolous and impatient meaning that was overflowing between his eyebrows before disappeared without a trace. In its place, it turned out to be a calm and invisible.

Coughing twice, the Son of Heaven said slowly: "Former manager, what do you think?"

Behind the screen, a middle-aged man with a handsome appearance quietly walked out. It is the chief of the imperial guard, the original infinite. The level of this person's martial arts is unfathomable. He once left his name on the monument of Mount Tai Fengyun and became the first arrow in the world.

The first shot in the world who also left his name on the Fengyun Monument was Zhuge Taifu. The two of them, as well as Tianyi Jushi, plus a senior brother who has been out of red dust for a long time, are the fourth senior brothers of the same sect. Tianyi is the second in line, but unfortunately due to his natural frailty, although he is knowledgeable. In terms of martial arts, it is far inferior to the two junior brothers.

When he was young, Yuan Infinite had a very good relationship with Zhuge Taifu. But finally turned against a woman because of a woman. has been entangled in grievances for decades, and it is impossible to tell who is right and who is wrong. However, the two brothers fought several times, but Yuan Infinite was never able to defeat Zhuge Taifu, so he was always resentful and resentful.

At this time, I heard the Son of Heaven asking. Yuan Infinity immediately sneered slightly, and said: "Zhuge Xiaocao has always been soft-hearted, and he has always regarded himself as half a Jianghu person. Although Li Yanzhou is very rebellious, from the perspective of his subordinates, Zhuge Xiaocao will most likely not be wiped out. must find a way to show mercy to his subordinates and let Li Yanzhou go.

And that Cheng Li. Hehe, without him killing the prince of Baili, how could Zhuge Xiaocao become the owner of Xiuchun Building? In fact, they have been colluding for a long time. Therefore, His Majesty wants to order Cheng Li to retrieve the treasure knife, and in the eyes of Weichen, there will probably be no result. ”

The so-called "Zhuge Xiaocao" is actually the real name of Zhuge Taifu. The name Zhuge Zhengming was given by his master (who is also the master of Tianyi Jushi and Yuan Infinity) after he apprenticed. To this day, there is only one person in the world who still insists on using the word "Xiaocao" to call Zhuge Taifu.

The Son of Heaven frowned and said, "Then from the perspective of the chief manager, what should I do?"

Yuan Infinite clasped his fists with both hands and said: "Weichen is willing to share his worries for His Majesty, go out of the palace to kill Li Yanzhou, and urge Cheng Li to find the treasure knife as soon as possible." I beg your Majesty's permission. ”

The Son of Heaven said happily: "The chief manager is willing to volunteer, that's the best." But...... According to the fold, Li Yanzhou is known as swallowing the world and has extremely high ability. In addition, that Cheng Li was able to single-handedly pick the entire Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall, and it must not be underestimated. The two fists of the chief manager are probably hard to beat the four hands. ”

Yuan Infinity said: "Your Majesty don't worry. Weichen has been rolling in the rivers and lakes for so many years, and he has a few close friends. They are all dedicated to serving the court, and they just hate that they don't have a chance. If His Majesty is gracious and gives them an official body, these close friends of Weichen will definitely not hesitate to throw their heads and spill their blood, even if they are broken bones, they will repay Your Majesty's great kindness. ”

The Son of Heaven asked, "Oh, I don't know who these heroes are?"

Yuan Infinity said: "One is a master of the Tang Sect in Sichuan, named Tang Hat." There is another one, who is the 36th Gang of the Yangtze River, the chief helmsman of the 18th village of the Yellow River, and Zhu Shunshui, nicknamed the Dragon King of the Water. Last place...... Your Majesty, I wonder if you still remember the person 'Wen Qianzhang'?"

The Son of Heaven groaned, "Wen Qianzhang? He was the champion personally ordered by the first emperor, and he was once an official to the ministry. Later, because he was involved in the big case of Uncle Jing's rebellion, the whole family was finally beheaded. ”

Yuan Infinite sighed: "Your Majesty, please forgive Weichen for being arrogant. In fact, when King Jing rebelled, Wen Qianzhang didn't know about it. It's just that he and King Jing have a similar temperament, so they sing poems and communicate a little more frequently. For His Majesty, Wen Qianzhang has always been loyal. ”

The Son of Heaven said: "I also understand. It's a pity that things have passed. If you can't come back to life after death, there's no way around it. ”

Yuan Infinity said: "Wen Qianzhang has a son named Wen Shuang. Because of his withdrawn personality and disagreement with his father, he ran away from home since he was a child. Because of this, when the Wen family was beheaded by the whole house, Wen Shuang escaped by luck. Over the years, he has had a lot of adventures in the rivers and lakes, and he has learned a skill, and he calls himself the seventh in the world. ”

The Son of Heaven was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "The name of the seventh in the world is interesting. I don't know which people can be ranked ahead of him in his mind?"

Yuan Infinity replied: "Regarding this, Wenshuang once talked to Weichen. In his mind, the number one in the world is naturally Your Majesty. His Majesty is the true son of the dragon, sitting on thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and governing the people. It is the first person in the world who is worthy of the name. ”

The Son of Heaven smiled: "This Wenshuang can speak." So what's next?"

Yuan Infinity Dao: "The second and third in the world are the holy lords of the two major martial arts holy lands of the Spring and Autumn Period of the Sword and the Sealing Sword of the World. The fourth in the world, is the family teacher of Weichen, and Wei Qianjue, the master of Anle Gate. The fifth in the world is the real person of Daomen. The sixth in the world is the Buddha Gate Fire Arhat. ”

The Son of Heaven said: "On the Spring and Autumn Period of the Sword and the Sealing Sword of the World, of course I have heard of the names of these two martial arts holy places. But I'm really unheard of. ”

Yuan Infinite bowed slightly and said: "Anle Gate was created by the family teacher, tracing back to the source, but it came from the famous 'Absolute Hall' on the rivers and lakes back then. Before the rise of the four major forces, the seven sword sects, the eight great families, and the ten major gangs on the rivers and lakes today, the Jue Lun Tang was once the largest gang in the world.

There is a Zhenshan Peerless School in the Absolute Hall, called 'Wind Sword and Frost Sword One Thousand and One Style'. Since the ancestor came down, very few people have been able to practice this thousand-and-one-style sword stunt. But the master not only practiced this stunt, but even fused this thousand and one style sword stunt into one move, named 'Thousand One'. The power is stronger, and it is better than the stunt passed down by the ancestor.

But there was already another heir in the Jue Lun Hall at that time, and the family teacher had no intention of competing with the same master and brother, so he ran away alone, and later founded Anlemen, and accepted four apprentices such as Weichen. After arranging the inheritance, the family teacher went out to sea to find the legendary overseas immortal mountain. It's been decades now. So Your Majesty hasn't heard of Anlemen, that's normal. ”

The Son of Heaven nodded, and said, "Then what about the Thunderbolt Zhenren and the Flame Arhat, who are these two?" I often meet with the presiding officer of Longhua Temple and the palace master of Zhenwu Palace, why have I never heard of them?"

Yuan Infinity Dao: "There are three major streams of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, and there are many sects in each. Longhua Temple, Zhenwu Palace, Baisha Academy and other three are just three branches with relatively large fame and relatively strong strength.

In addition to these three families, there are many high-ranking people in the three major streams, because they don't like to compete for fame and fortune, they just concentrate on cultivating outside the party. Therefore, the fame is not as great as that of the sect masters of the three major streams. But when it comes to strength, in fact, these hermit masters are even higher than the three major lords. ”

The Son of Heaven asked: "Wen Shuang claims to be the seventh in the world, and his ability is really only below these six people, or even above you Yuan Aiqing?"

Yuan Infinity said in a condensed voice: "Weichen has also tried to compete with Wenshuang in private. Fighting in a tie, he is not a Weichen opponent. But if he takes his unique weapon, then Weichen can only bow down. ”

The Son of Heaven asked curiously, "What unique weapon?"

Yuan Infinity looked solemn and slowly spit out four words: "A thousand suns." ”

The Son of Heaven was puzzled when he heard this: "A thousand suns? What thousand suns? There is only one sun, how can there be a thousand?"

Yuan Infinity explained: "On the rivers and lakes, there are countless legends. It is difficult to distinguish between the true and the false. But in any case, a thousand suns certainly belong to one of the most mysterious legends of them all.

The origin of this thing is unknown, but it is known that three hundred years ago, it used to be the magic weapon of a generation of Demon Lord Blood River Ancestors. With this magic weapon, the ancestor of the blood river once fought the heroes of the world alone in Hengshan, killing tens of thousands of people in seven days and nights, and finally escaped safely. However, since then, a thousand suns have also disappeared, and for three hundred years, there has been no trace of the rivers and lakes. ”

The Son of Heaven was taken aback and said, "How is it possible for one person to kill tens of thousands of enemies? Not to mention...... Former Chief, can you really be sure that the weapon in Wen Shuang's hand is a thousand suns?"

Yuan Infinity said: "Actually, Weichen has never seen a thousand suns. However, the master was once very interested in the legend of a thousand suns, and spent a lot of effort to verify it. The results obtained from the research were recorded in a private note by the tutor.

Wei Chen once flipped through the notes and found that the Qimen weapon in Wen Shuang's hand had the same characteristics as the thousand suns recorded in the notes. That's why Wei Chen boldly guessed that this Qimen weapon was the legendary thousand suns. ”

The Son of Heaven nodded and muttered, "You mean, Wenshuang is willing to serve the court and me?"

Yuan Infinity said: "Wen Shuang wanted to serve the imperial court, and after making meritorious deeds, he begged His Majesty to rehabilitate Zhaoxue for his father Wen Qianzhang. King Zhulong wanted to seek a name and be the governor of the imperial court. Tang Hate wanted to use the power of the imperial court to become the master of the Tang Sect. ”

The Son of Heaven smiled and said, "Since you have something to ask for, it is a good thing." Yuan Aiqing, you just go and inform these three masters. said that as long as they do their best to serve the court, then after they succeed in the future, I will never treat the heroes lightly. ”

After thinking about it, the Son of Heaven took off the jade wrench on his thumb, took out an enamel snuff box from his arms, and then took a pearl from the white jade crown on his head, and handed them all to Yuan Infinity. said: "The former manager, these three gadgets, if you take them and give them to the three masters, they will say that they are rewarded." He triumphed. I have another gift. ”

Hara Infinity carefully put the three gadgets into his arms. Bi Gong saluted and said, "Weichen understands. Wechen will go to work. Your Majesty is to wait in peace in the palace and wait for good news. ”

The Son of Heaven stepped down from the dragon chair, stretched out his hand and patted Yuan Infinity on the shoulder, and said with a pleasant face: "Then there is Chief Lao Yuan." It's about the Great Wei Dynasty, and the former manager must not disappoint me. ”

After a pause, the Son of Heaven finally couldn't help it, and finally added: "In addition, in addition to retrieving the glass treasure knife and killing Li Yanzhou, you should also pay more attention to the white snake." If possible, finally capture the white snake back to the palace. I really want to know what the legendary White Lady is like. ”
