Volume 1: Prologue, A Ray of Light Chapter 83: The Man Who Stands at the Apex of the Dynasty

Imperial capital, imperial city.

Qin Tianjian Li Cao hurriedly entered the imperial city to meet Emperor Shenzong, claiming that the heavenly phenomena had changed, fearing that it would be a bad omen, and asked Shenzong to meet him.

One person walks together, and Ye Sheng, a member of the first product.

Shenzong usually doesn't love the court, but all officials who have something to do will go directly to the palace.

The dragon couch was warm and fragrant, and Shenzong was pillowing the nephrite of the concubine, his eyes were slightly closed, and he said weakly: "Red tape is all waived, Master Li has something to say directly, I am tired today, and I want to rest earlier." ”

There was only a light gauze curtain in the middle, Li Cao didn't dare to raise his head, and said in a deep voice: "This evening, the thrilling red clouds over the imperial capital are like fire, and they don't see the light of day, which is for the murderous appearance. The red clouds encompassed thousands of acres, as far as the eye could see, the people in the city were panicked, and Wei Chen was also a little frightened, and hurriedly summoned his colleagues from Qin Tianjian to divinate the celestial phenomena......"

Concubine Liang's voice was sweet and soft, and she suddenly said: "Although this palace is not from a poor family, I have read some miscellaneous books when I was young, and I know a little bit about celestial phenomena.

Ye Sheng's face turned dark, and it was an iron law of the court that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, but when it came to Concubine Liang, it became a child's play.

Emperor Shenzong was not even annoyed, and said with a smile: "Yes, I have also seen a lot of burning clouds in midsummer, and Lord Li is too nervous." ”

Li Cao said again: "This time is not as usual, Weichen received an express report, in addition to Xuzhou, all states also have this celestial phenomenon, and the wide range of red clouds is shocking. ”

Shenzong didn't care: "Yesterday, when Lord Li entered the palace, he also said the same, saying that the thunder in southern Xinjiang was loud, the green thunder came into the world, and the sky was back in the sky, and the clouds were blazing. ”

"And a few days ago, you said that the North Earth Lord Star fell, and it was ominous for Huiwei to sweep south over Zhongtian. ”

"A little further, what group of snakes rose together, ending in Xichuan, Zhenjiao appeared in the world, and returned to the East China Sea. ”

Shenzong smiled: "Lord Li, didn't I say you, in the past few days, you have been scared, entering the palace every day, and even I have missed how many Spring Festivals? If there is really a catastrophe affecting Kyushu, it can't happen in such a short period of time, right? There are visions in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, but I, the emperor of Xuzhou, is as stable as Mount Tai, why can't it be a good omen, and I am willing to send a decree from heaven to expand the territory and open up the territory, but I don't know? Retreat, don't enter the palace if there is such an inconsequential thing, be careful that I kill your head." ”

Just because the hexagram is indeed too dangerous, Li Ke can't help but say: "But ......"

Shenzong shouted: "I said to retreat!"

Li Ke had no choice but to retreat obediently, leaving the old minister Ye Sheng unwilling to leave.

Concubine Liang stroked Shenzong's chest and said to the uninteresting "old candlestick" outside the curtain: "The emperor is tired, Ye Ge may as well come back tomorrow if he has something to do." ”

Ye Sheng said respectfully: "The old minister has something to play. ”

Then he was silent, no matter what Concubine Liang said, Ye Sheng had no intention of retreating, and he didn't want to talk to the concubines in the harem, and quietly waited for Shenzong to speak.

Shenzong knew that Ye Sheng was very stubborn, he was a stone in the pit, smelly and hard, if he didn't announce him, Ye Sheng could really stand next to the dragon couch for a day, and he wouldn't be embarrassed at all.

After all, it is an old minister of the former emperor, and it is not easy to kill.

Shenzong said: "Lord Ye has something to say, I listen." ”

Ye Sheng bowed, and said: "The minister has a book, and he participates in the national teacher." ”

Shenzong suddenly felt a little pain in his brain, no matter what the national teacher wanted to do on weekdays, Ye Sheng could always raise a lot of objections, and he was determined to get along with the national teacher.

No, as soon as the national teacher left on the front foot, Ye Sheng on the back foot came to join him and left his post without permission, and there was only a day in between.

The status of the national teacher is extremely high, one person is below ten thousand people, and his subordinates in the court have his own subordinates to help him deal with them one by one, not to mention a day, even if he is not in Xuzhou for a month, no one can take care of it, Shenzong himself doesn't care, but Ye Sheng, this old thing, has to hold on.

Patiently waiting for Ye Sheng to finish those clichΓ©s, listing more than 20 charges of varying sizes for the national teacher, Shenzong said: "What Lord Ye said is reasonable, the national teacher is indeed to blame, according to Lord Ye, how should I deal with the national teacher? Is it enough to punish him for suspending himself at home for self-examination?"

The national teacher did not come to the court, and Shenzong's move was tantamount to giving him a vacation in the name of justification.

Ye Sheng naturally didn't agree, and said righteously: "The old minister thinks it's inappropriate, the national teacher's crime is not forgiven, and the emperor should dismiss the national teacher and investigate it." ”

I never thought that the Divine Sect actually agreed, waved his sleeves, and said with a smile: "According to what Lord Ye said, then the national teacher will be dismissed and investigated, and this matter will be handed over to Lord Ye to deal with personally, Lord Ye, do you think it is feasible?"

Shenzong agreed so happily that Ye Sheng was a little caught off guard, thanked him, and then withdrew.

It wasn't until Ye Sheng led two teams of officials to raid the National Teacher's Mansion that he found that the National Teacher's Mansion had been reduced to an empty mansion.

Everyone's eyes were straight, putting aside the terrain and the false prohibitions, there were not even a few tables left in the huge National Teacher's Mansion, as if they had been robbed.

The dossier containing evidence of the national teacher's crime disappeared.

All the wealth embezzled by the national teacher from everywhere has disappeared.

What can I look up here?

Ye Sheng had just left the imperial city, and after the dragon couch, he walked out of the pale Ming National Teacher, Concubine Liang hurriedly packed up her clothes, and bowed and retreated to leave the Shenzong Palace, not daring to stay longer for a moment.

Being able to stay by Shenzong's side for so long, Concubine Liang knew what she could and couldn't do.

How mediocre Shenzong is, how charming Concubine Liang must be, when Shenzong is herself, Concubine Liang wants to live only obediently away, and everything else is superfluous.

The ancient book fell to the ground, and the parchment paper was slowly spread out, and finally a small tripod-like pattern was revealed, and the evil god was engraved.

The national teacher's face was complicated: "You handed over the ancient books to Zhang Hongzheng?"

With the addition of the dragon robe, Shenzong slowly stood up and stared at the national teacher condescendingly. Shenzong said: "Why tempt? I am an emperor, and I have no doubt about employing people. ”

The national teacher asked, "Then why did you use Zhang Hongzheng's mouth to tell me about the existence of the evil god in Jingzhou?"

Shenzong stroked the cheek of the national teacher, this was a face more delicate than a woman, so that he couldn't help but want to ravage, with a bit of regret in his eyes, Shenzong said: "What you should think about is not whether I believe you or not, but that Yongzhou has been broken into that state, and Longmen can still rise, who does it depend on? Demon Dragon Li Yu is not enough, it is not enough." ”

The national teacher realized the crux of the problem: "Is there someone behind Yongzhou?"

Shenzong lightly clasped the chin of the national teacher, and the two were extremely close: "That's right, I guess there are people behind Ce Yongzhou, it can't be the current Kyushu forces, because we know them well, so either there are hidden forces in Kyushu that we don't know, or the demon dragon comes from the sky." ”

A leopard can be seen in the tube.

The national teacher asked, "Tomb of King Yu?"

Shenzong let go of the national teacher, turned his back, and said, "Well, so I asked Zhang Hongzheng to tell you that there are evil gods under the 100,000 mountains, which can help you break the gate of heaven and help you ascend to the Immortal Dao." After all, you couldn't resist this temptation, and you really tried it, although it chilled me, but it also found the answer for me. ”

"Queen Yu's descendants and the remnants of the evil god under the suppression of the seal are mortal enemies, they will not let you release the evil god of Jingzhou, they will definitely hinder it. ”

"And the three-headed Huojiao that hurt you in the end is the mount of the leader of Shenzhou in the past, the cultivation of the five realms, the heart is higher than the sky, except for the queen of Yu, I can't think of anything else that can make it willing to be driven by people, fight with you and even seriously injure you. ”

The national teacher finally figured out why Emperor Shenzong chose to make this extra move in the first place, and ordered Longmen Li Yu to investigate the movements in Jingzhou.

On the surface, the intention is to divert the tiger from the mountain and divide the strength of Yongzhou, but secretly it is to create an opportunity for Longmen, an opportunity to prove that Longmen himself and Yuwangling are inseparable.

In fact, as Shenzong expected, Li Yu stayed in Yongzhou, but instead sent a young man to Jingzhou to investigate the case, and that young man was the person who framed him last night, presumably as Shenzong said, those descendants of Queen Yu from the tomb of King Yu.

In a sense, the Divine Sect succeeded.

The national teacher failed, and lost badly.

Not only did he fail to ascend, but he also lost the trust of the Divine Sect.

Shenzong said: "Assassinate Helian Muxia, Wanyan Rongluo, Yelu Xucai, Ao Jinghai, and frame Yongzhou, as long as you and I are in the same boat, no matter what you do, I am willing to help you, almost unconditional support, there are only two things, you can't do it." ”

"One thing, it's betraying me, you didn't do a good job. The other thing is that you can't fail, and you didn't do it well. As early as the beginning, when you sent assassins to assassinate the important people left in Yongzhou by the forces of various states, you had already suffered a defeat and were unknowingly disintegrated, at that time you should reflect on it and discover the existence of Queen Yu's descendants, but unfortunately you didn't, what I want is an ally who can support each other with me to the end, if you can't do it, just change it, or I will come in person. ”

At this point, the national teacher did not pray for the Divine Sect to forgive him for his betrayal, but knelt on one knee and asked, "What should I do?"

Shenzong looked back and smiled: "You heard it just now, your position in the court has been arranged by me to someone else, Ye Sheng's old thing will dismiss you and investigate you, you just need to hide in the dark to deal with that young man with peace of mind, and leave the rest to me to do, Longmen and Yuwang Mausoleum are also controlled by me." ”

The national teacher thanked him and said, "Obey the emperor's orders." ”

......

The warm breeze blew on the wrist of the night lin, and it was Zhang Hongzheng who sent the news that a "beautiful misunderstanding" had been born, and the chess game began to enter the next stage from this moment.

Shenzong officially entered the chess game and dealt with Yelin with the national teacher, but Yelin's side pulled the mausoleum guards into the water.

Whether it's friend or foe, you just need to cause chaos to the people above you.

Ji Qing saw the inexplicable smile on the corner of Yelin's mouth, and knew that he was about to start making bad things again.

For some reason, she was a little happy.
