Rubbing the silk silk, I only heard Zhu Houzhao whispering: "Companion, I said that no matter where he is in the world, I will find a companion, and the martial arts will not work, so I will take the imperial road that Shao Zhenren said!" ”

His eyes fell on the small altar on the side, and the strangeness of this altar was discovered by Zhu Houzhao not long ago.

The altar was invisible to no one but him.

Regarding this point, Zhu Houzhao discovered it by accident.

Not long ago, Wang Zheng had helped him clean up his things, Zhu Houzhao forgot the altar for a while, but when Wang Zheng was tidying up the table, his hands touched the altar several times, but the altar was like a phantom, and Wang Zheng was not aware of the existence of the altar on the table at all.

When he saw this scene at that time, Zhu Houzhao's eyes were almost wide-eyed, and later it was verified several times that Zhu Houzhao could be sure that the altar was invisible and untouchable except for him, as if the altar did not exist.

But in Zhu Houzhao's hands, the altar is a real and unnecessary existence, Zhu Houzhao can touch it, and he can feel the heaviness of the altar. [Note, Wang Zheng saw that the altar has been modified.] 】

The miracle of the altar made Zhu Houzhao firmly believe in Chu Yi's ascension, so his desire to attain the Tao and ascend became more and more firm.

As for Qian Ning's report on Shao Yuanjie's entry into Yang Yiqing's mansion, Zhu Houzhao was not surprised.

It can even be said that Shao Yuanjie went to see Yang Yiqing or Wang Shouren and others, everything was expected by Zhu Houzhao, if Shao Yuanjie did not go to see Yang Yiqing and others, Zhu Houzhao would be surprised.

As the Son of Heaven, Zhu Houzhao has changed greatly over the years, especially the control of the court, and there are absolutely few people who can control the hearts of the people.

Shao Yuanjie is definitely loyal and credible to him, but the more so, when he reveals his desire to seek immortals, Shao Yuanjie will be so nervous, otherwise, with Shao Yuanjie's personality, it is absolutely impossible to see Yang Yiqing, you must know that Shao Yuanjie avoids the important ministers of the court on weekdays, and does not add more beaks to the affairs of the court.

Sometimes even if Zhu Houzhao takes the initiative to ask, Shao Yuanjie is like gold, and he almost does not comment on the affairs of the court, and it is Shao Yuanjie who knows how to advance and retreat so much that he can win the trust of the Son of Heaven.

After being invited by Yang Yiqing, Wang Shouren, Chen Ding and other cabinet ministers were curious, but although they were curious, they were also invited to the palace.

In the Yang Mansion, in the study.

Yang Yiqing sat there, looking at Wang Shouren and Chen Ding with a solemn face, and informed a few people of the news brought by Shao Yuanjie not long ago.

"What? Your Majesty wants to cultivate immortals? ”

"Ridiculous, it's ridiculous, you don't see Emperor Qin, Han Wu, a hundred years later, turned into a piece of loess, ancient and modern sages are like this, even if Your Majesty is the respect of the Ninety-Five, how can you be an exception!"

Chen Ding couldn't help but be angry.

Brushing his beard, Wang Shouren's focus was obviously a little different from Chen Ding's, but he looked at Yang Yiqing and said: "Lord Shoufu, just as Shao Yuanjie Zhenren is worried about, we must find out the villain who dares to bewitch the Son of Heaven now, the Ming Dynasty cannot decline because of a villain, Your Majesty's generation of Ming Jun must not be reduced to a generation of faint monarchs!" ”

Yang Yiqing nodded and said: "What Yang Ming said is correct, first find the villain who bewitched the Son of Heaven, and then I will jointly advise Your Majesty, hoping that Your Majesty can get lost and return!" ”

Chen Ding exhaled angrily: "Then check, let Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and Xichang check, we just want Your Majesty to know." If Your Majesty dares to shield such a villain, even if the old man fights for this old life, he will splash blood in the court and warn His Majesty. ”

Wang Shouren hurriedly said: "Lord Chen's words are serious, Your Majesty has always been benevolent and sage, if Lord Chen is really like this, wouldn't it be persecuting Your Majesty?" It's not the courtier's doing! ”

Flicking his sleeves, Chen Ding glared at Wang Shouren and said: "Ridiculous, the old man is all for His Majesty, how can he force His Majesty." ”

With a light cough, Yang Yiqing stopped Wang Shouren and Chen Ding, and his gaze swept over the other pavilion elders and said, "Don't you know what the pavilion elders have any opinions?" ”

An elder stroked his beard and said: "Wang Shangshu's words are very reasonable, first find out the villain who bewitched the Son of Heaven, and then I will wait for the joint name to persuade Your Majesty." ”

The East Factory, Jinyiwei, and West Factory were all instructed by the Cabinet, whether it was the East Factory, the West Factory, or the Jinyi Factory, they were all stunned after receiving the Cabinet's intentions.

Zhu Houzhao got the news as soon as possible, just looking at Yang Yiqing and others through the East Factory, Jinyiwei, and West Factory to investigate the so-called villain who bewitched him, it can be seen that Yang Yiqing and others did not mean to advise him through this method.

After all, Yang Yiqing and the others must know that nothing they did through Jinyiwei, East Factory, and West Factory could not hide from Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao just smiled at this, and ordered the people of the East Factory, Jinyiwei, and West Factory to investigate according to the instructions of the cabinet.

The so-called villain who bewitched the Son of Heaven was Shao Yuanjie's speculation, and it was obviously impossible for Dongchang, Jinyiwei or Xichang to find out this non-existent person.

If you really want to say it, the villain who bewitches the Son of Heaven should be Chu Yi, but Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and Xichang don't know, even if they know, can they still find Chu Yi.

A few days later, Yang Yiqing and several elders looked at the replies of the East Factory, Jinyiwei, and the West Factory, and looked at each other.

As the most upright Chen Dingdang, he slapped the table and shouted: "Ridiculous, the old man said before, if we want to investigate, we will send someone to investigate, Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and Xichang are only afraid that they are deliberately helping Your Majesty to conceal it, if they can find out something, it will be strange." ”

But Wang Shouren and Yang Yiqing glanced at each other, and the two put down the news sent by the East Factory, the West Factory, and Jinyiwei in their hands.

Noticing Yang Yiqing and Wang Shouren's expressions, Chen Ding couldn't help but be stunned, and after reacting, he couldn't help but say to the two: "Lord Yang, Wang Yangming, you don't really believe the answers given by the people of Dongchang and Jinyiwei." ”

Yang Yiqing looked at Chen Ding and said, "Why can't you believe it?" ”

Chen Ding said: "Can't we judge whether it is credible or not?" Lord Yang also told the old man, if it is really as Dongchang and Jinyiwei said, there is no such person, then who is bewitching the Son of Heaven, and why did Your Majesty suddenly give birth to the heart of seeking immortals, you must know that Your Majesty is now in the prime of life, far from the age of knowing the destiny of heaven! ”

Yang Yiqing shook his head and said, "How is Your Majesty's behavior, isn't it clear to us?" If there is really such a person, with His Majesty's temperament, he will definitely not hide, as long as His Majesty does not nod, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, who can hurt the person His Majesty wants to shelter? ”

Chen Ding was stunned for a moment, and had to say that what Yang Yiqing said was very reasonable, don't look at Chen Ding's clamour, but Chen Ding also knew in his heart that once Zhu Houzhao made up his mind, even if the Manchu Dynasty and the civil and military forces united, they would not be able to change his decision.

With hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in hand, the scene where the courtiers united to persecute the Son of Heaven in the past will never appear. As long as Zhu Houzhao is willing, it is not a problem to protect anyone.

The angry Chen Ding couldn't help but look at Yang Yiqing and said, "In that case, what does Lord Yang think we should do?" ”

Yang Yiqing smiled and said: "Since there is no such person, then we will go directly to see the Son of Heaven, I think Your Majesty will definitely tell us why he gave birth to the idea of seeking immortals." ”

Soon Zhu Houzhao got the news, and Yang Yiqing, Wang Yangming and others asked to see him.

Zhu Houzhao put down the scroll in his hand, nodded, and soon saw Yang Yiqing and others coming to the imperial study under the guidance of Wang Zheng.

Halfway through, Yang Yiqing said to Wang Zheng: "Eunuch Wang, is there really no one who bewitches His Majesty to ask for immortals?" ”

Wang Zheng's footsteps paused slightly, glanced at Yang Yiqing and the others, slowly shook his head and said: "Our family really doesn't know about this matter, but in our family's opinion, there is really no such person." ”

Saying that, Wang Zheng arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty is so wise and powerful, who dares to bewitch Your Majesty, is not afraid of being recognized by Your Majesty?" ”

Wang Shouren nodded to Wang Zheng and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Wang!" ”

Wang Zheng didn't dare to say anything.

Wang Zheng was also a person beside Chu Yi at the beginning, and was promoted by Chu Yi, although he is now a close servant of the Son of Heaven, but under Chu Yi's deterrence, Wang Zheng has been taught by Chu Yi for so many years.

Although I dare not say that I have no selfish thoughts, I am still quite principled on major issues of right and wrong, and although I am quite close to Wang Shouren, Yang Yiqing and others, I keep a degree.

While speaking, several people came to the imperial study.

Entering the imperial study, Yang Yiqing and the others saw Zhu Houzhao sitting there, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said with a casual look: "A few Qing families don't have to be formal, and they should sit down and talk!" ”

After sitting down, Zhu Houzhao put down the scroll in his hand, and looked at a few people with a slight smile: "Could it be that there is something wrong with the few Qing families here?" ”

Looking at Zhu Houzhao's look that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Yang Yiqing and the others had a wry smile in their hearts, the Son of Heaven was pretending to be confused, and he had to take the initiative to explain his intentions.

But since they came, they were not afraid to spread out with the Son of Heaven.

Without waiting for Yang Yiqing to speak, Chen Ding opened his mouth and said to the Son of Heaven: "Your Majesty, the minister heard that His Majesty was bewitched by the villain, and he actually had the intention of seeking immortals and attaining the Tao?" I wonder if this is true or not? ”

Looking at Chen Ding's angry appearance, Zhu Houzhao was not angry at all, Chen Ding's temperament is like this, if he is really not angry, it is not normal.

Yang Yiqing, Wang Shouren and others also looked at Zhu Houzhao to see how Zhu Houzhao answered.

Zhu Houzhao just looked at a few people, and said slowly: "Do you know, the great companion has soared!" ”

"Poof!"

Wang Yangming and Yang Yiqing almost squirted out a mouthful of water, even so, Yang Yiqing, who had just put down the teacup, couldn't help but cough violently.
