Chapter 14: The most terrible thing is the human heart

The main hall of the Western Chu Palace, Taiyi Hall, early dynasty!

The Son of Heaven sat on the dragon chair, and the officials in the first row were exactly seven steps away from the Son of Heaven.

This is the gift of the monarch of the Donghua Continent.

There are very few military attaches in the palace, in recent days, the strange races of the Shu land that borders on the West Chu are ready to move, and the border pass seems to be about to start a war again, whether it is the Dugu general or the palace Shenyong general, they have all rushed to the border pass, in case there is a change, so at this time the main hall is mostly civil officials.

Yesterday, the little prince Ji Yu defeated Bai Yuan, the leader of the Iron Bone Realm, with the strength of the unrefined body, and also broke the Bai Family Gong Spirit Ape Crack by one or two points.

The old Confucian civil official didn't feel that Xi Chu was finally arrogant, but when he thought of characters like Bai Laowei, they all broke out in a cold sweat on their backs.

As soon as they came to the court this morning, they wanted to persuade the emperor to take the initiative to hand over the little prince, so as not to provoke the white old monster.

Tianjiao is gone, you can cultivate another one, but if this country is in chaos, it will be out of control.

But thinking of the rumors that there was a peerless fairy realm powerhouse behind the little prince, and thinking of His Majesty's doting on the little prince, those old Confucian officials stopped admonishing them.

However, Gu Huan, the prime minister of Western Chu, finally mustered up the courage, walked to the center of the main hall, knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do!"

"Aiqing, please speak. "The Son of Heaven is kind and pleasant.

Gu Huan, the prime minister of Western Chu, stood up and raised his head and said: "The little prince is martial and brave, it is the luck of Great Chu, but to provoke the Bai family of Western Chu Martial Dao, isn't this a disaster for us to summon Great Chu?"

After all, he is an old minister of the former dynasty, although he dislikes this very much, but he still has to maintain affinity: "Gu Aiqing, Yu'er is now nine years old, she is so brave, and her potential in the future is limitless, although she is a little stubborn, but Mr. Shang Wuge will teach him well." ”

Gu Huan looked directly at the Son of Heaven, his eyes were blazing: "Your Majesty, the Bai family is the first martial arts family in Western Chu, and if you compete with it, the gains outweigh the losses!"

The Son of Heaven raised his eyebrows: "When did I say that I was going to fight with the Bai family?"

Gu Huan said: "But Bai Poyun, the head of the Bai family, is extremely protective of calves, and now Bai Yuan is the only grandson, and he was beaten into a waste by the little prince, I'm afraid he won't give up, how to say, Your Majesty also has to give an explanation to the Bai family!"

At this moment, a hearty laugh came from outside the hall: "Yes, Your Majesty should give the old man an explanation." ”

Suddenly, the mighty man and the Son of Heaven on the dragon chair all looked towards the entrance of the main hall.

I saw a middle-aged man with white hair and a white robe walking slowly, his steps seemed to be heavy, as if there were thousands of mountains pressing on it.

After seeing the man and feeling the rich aura on his body, those old Confucian civil officials changed their faces one after another, and they were frightened and afraid.

Seven steps away from the feet of the Son of Heaven, the man slowly knelt down and kowtowed: "The Western Chu Imperial Palace is dedicated to Bai Poyun to see Your Majesty!"

His voice was very low, like a rolling thunder born in ten miles of black clouds, and it hit everyone's hearts hard.

The atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became dull.

The Son of Heaven raised his hand and signaled: "Bai is offered to the flat body." ”

Bai Poyun stood up and looked directly at the Son of Heaven: "Bai Yuannai is the only grandson of the old man, and now in a competition in the ring, he will beat the only grandson of the old man into a waste, even if he is the prince of His Majesty, he can't say it, right?"

"The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, the fists and feet in the ring have no eyes, and the white offerings are worshipped, what do you want?" the Son of Heaven was full of majesty.

"A good sword without eyes, a good fist and foot without eyes, could it be that the old man's grandson was beaten for nothing?" Bai Poyun was a little angry, and his face was pale.

"Of course not, I will compensate you somewhat. The Son of Heaven smiled slightly.

Bai Poyun laughed angrily: "What a compensation, does Your Majesty know the truth that the prince violates the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people?"

"If it is a crime to compete in the ring, then Xi Chu might as well implement the ban on martial arts in the world, but when I heard that your precious grandson was competing with my Yu'er, I was annoyed and angry, and I actually used the Bai family Gong method to crack the spirit ape and stimulate one or two points of strength. ”

"If my feather is an ordinary person, with the strength of the body that has not yet been refined, wouldn't I be killed on the spot by this spirit ape crack, but unfortunately my feather is not an ordinary person after all, and I broke your precious grandson's spirit ape crack, but to deal with the peerless technique of the spirit ape crack, you must go all out, so in the end, it is inevitable that you will lose your strength and start a little heavier. ”

The Son of Heaven looked serious and talked eloquently, as if he was chatting with the most trusted minister, and he said it so well and reasonably, so that Bai Poyun had no way to refute it.

Got a little heavier?

Thinking of his precious grandson's shattered spiritual source and the destruction of acupuncture points like a dead dog lying on the bed, unable to move, Bai Poyun was almost so angry that he vomited blood on the spot.

His eyes were red, his forehead was bruised, and he asked in a low voice, "Does Your Majesty really want to protect the Nine Emperor Princes?"

The Son of Heaven said categorically: "This is not a favoritism, but a reason!"

Bai Poyun smiled angrily: "Your Majesty's determination, the minister has received it, farewell!"

After speaking, he threw up his sleeves and left, but he had another plan in his heart.

Gu Huan saw that the trouble had reached such an unhappy point, and persuaded again: "Your Majesty, the Bai family's internal peace rivers and lakes, and the external assistance of the military department, have made great contributions to the Western Chu Sheji, how can it be compared to a stubborn Nine Emperor Prince? Besides, the peerless fairy realm is a bit ethereal ......after all."

The Son of Heaven's face sank, and said: "No matter how great the Bai family's contribution is, it should also be based on the royal family, it is for loyalty, righteousness and no loyalty, what is the use of me, retreat from the dynasty!"

With that, he got up and brushed his sleeves and left the Taiyi Hall directly.

The Manchu Dynasty civil and military looked at the angry Son of Heaven and couldn't help but look at each other.

But in the end, they still knelt down and said, "Your Majesty." ”

A path straight back to the imperial study, the face of the Son of Heaven is not very good-looking, looking at the mountains of twists and turns on the table, he seems to have found the object of venting, swept his arms, and suddenly those twists and turns are scattered on the ground like fairies scattered flowers.

The eunuchs serving on the side trembled with fright, and hurriedly crawled on the ground to pick up the folds in fear.

At this time, an outline slowly appeared in the darkness of the imperial study, and it was vaguely known that it was a person.

"What, Your Majesty is in a bad mood?" the man asked with a light smile, and there was no trace of awe in his tone, but an old friend.

The Son of Heaven rubbed his temples, closed his eyes and said: "The old white monster has entered the palace, and there has been a dispute, and those old Confucian civil officials persuade them here and there, as if I want to be the grandson of the Bai family, and they are very aggrieved." ”

"In the eyes of many people, even though the dragon chair is extremely tempting, how many people know what they need to bear after sitting on this dragon chair?" said the man with a smile.

The Son of Heaven sighed and said, "For the sake of the 'Sheng Chu Great Plan', Yu'er must not be guaranteed!"

The man said, "I see that you sent the little prince to Shangwu Pavilion not to win over the peerless immortal realm behind him, but to see his potential?"

The corners of Tianzi's lips raised slightly: "Yes, I just want to see how far he can go in Shangwu Pavilion, and whether he is worthy of being the most critical chess piece in the 'Sheng Chu Great Plan'." ”

The man was happy: "Fortunately, the little prince did not disappoint you, and even his potential is beyond your imagination." ”

A sharp glint flashed in the eyes of the Son of Heaven, and he nodded: "Yes, this son can be called a rare genius in the Chu State for a thousand years, the most important thing is that this son is stupid and chaste, easy to control, and it is very suitable to cultivate him into the sharpest knife of the Western Chu royal family." ”

"It seems that you do love the prince very much, and this little prince is just a 'Sheng Chu Blade' forged by you to pave the way for the prince. The man laughed aloud.

And the little eunuch, after picking up the folds all over the ground, disappeared without a trace.
