Chapter 4 Succession to the National Teacher
A cold light flashed through the bamboo forest, and the bamboo forest did not seem to change. The country smiled contemptuously, as if waiting to see the witch embers make a fool of themselves.
After a while, everyone felt as if the earth was shaking. After taking them to stabilize their figures, they found that the bamboo forest belonging to Wu Ember had been razed to the ground. There was not even any residue, as if the bamboo forest they had just seen was an illusion.
This means that Wu Ember Xi has done what the national teacher can do with only one move. The national teacher's face turned iron-blue, and Wu Ash's clear eyes were full of mockery.
"That national teacher ......" Mo Jingran stared at the national teacher with an embarrassed expression, the national teacher's face was blue for a while and white for a while, and he couldn't say anything.
"The emperor is slow, Ember Xi still has a trick." After that, Wu Ember walked to the bamboo forest, and with a light finger of the red light in his hand, a lot of bamboo shoots appeared in the bamboo forest that had been razed to the ground! Bamboo shoots grew into bamboo at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the bamboo forest was resurrected!
"Good! The goddess of Wushan is really powerful. Even Mo Jingran couldn't help but applaud, and the ministers on the side also applauded when they saw this.
"The minister asked the emperor to appoint the county lord of Ember as the national teacher, so as to make friends between the two countries and protect my Beilin Sheji."
Seeing this, Prime Minister Li Chengan was the first to stand up. It is said that General Murong was at odds with this national teacher when he was alive, and Prime Minister Li Cheng was a close friend of General Murong. Therefore, at this time, the national teacher lost, and Prime Minister Li Cheng would add fuel and vinegar, hoping that the national teacher would abdicate.
"The ministers ask the emperor to appoint the county lord of Ember as the national teacher to protect me from Beilin Guosheji." Seeing the prime minister's speech, officials from various ministries hurriedly seconded the proposal.
"Okay, since that's what you Aiqing meant. Then spread my will and appoint the county lord of Ember as the national teacher. ”
As soon as these words came out, Wu Yanxi's eyes were full of smiles. However, a cold light flashed in the eyes of the national teacher who had just been forced to abdicate, and a silver needle flew towards Wu Ember with a roar. Wu Ember smiled unabated, the jade hand seemed to wave casually, and the silver needle suddenly turned around and flew towards the national teacher who had just been forced to abdicate. In just an instant, the silver needle pierced through the national teacher and nailed it to the bamboo behind the national teacher. Along with the silver needle flew a short feathered arrow condensed by red light. However, this feather arrow disappeared after penetrating the body of the national teacher.
The national teacher looked at the huge wound on his chest with a shocked expression, and the blood stained his white robe. Although blood kept spilling from his mouth, he pulled out a strange smile.
"Hahaha, you don't know, it's the Scarlet Sect that supports the Xiyue Kingdom to attack the Beilin Kingdom. And I am not only the Holy Son of the Scarlet Sect, I am also the fourth prince of the Xiyue Kingdom. Wu Ember, what about your Wushan goddess? The Scarlet Sect will definitely set foot on the Beilin Kingdom and the Zhenshan Kingdom for me. Hahaha! ”
Seeing this, Wu Yanxi's jade hand instantly attached to his neck. She leaned close to his ear and said in a very soft voice, "What is this sect going to do with you, this piece of shit?" ”
The national teacher felt his neck shrink instantly, and his eyes widened, as if he didn't believe Wu Yanxi's words. When he saw Wu Ash's eyes flashing with a hint of red light, he suddenly understood something, but he couldn't say it anymore.
"Your Majesty, the minister has solved the spy for you." Wu Ember was still unfazed in everyone's stunned eyes.
After that, there was no resistance for Wu Yanxi to take the position of national teacher.
In the early morning of the next day, officials from various ministries headed by Zhang Zhao jointly wrote a letter asking Mo Jingran to release Zhang Shaoxin from the cold hall, but there was opposition from the officials of various ministries headed by Prime Minister Li Chengan. Mo Jingran was at a loss for this.
"National teacher, what do you think?"
Since Wu Yanxi took up the position of national teacher, Mo Jingran has great trust in her. Every time he encountered something difficult to deal with, no matter how big or small, Mo Jingran would always ask Wu Yanxi's opinion.
The face under the veil looms, but the clear eyes are smiling. Wu Yanxi first looked at Zhang Zhao, and then stopped at Prime Minister Li Cheng. This made Zhang Zhao panic in his heart.
"Your Majesty, how do this year's women understand the affairs of the court? If the national teacher is allowed to intervene in this matter, the consequences will be unimaginable. Zhang Zhao saw that the national teacher intended to agree with Prime Minister Li Cheng's opinion, and hurriedly blocked her opportunity to speak.
"Oh, the national division means that he wants Zhang Guifei to return to the palace, since Lord Zhang feels that the national teacher can't interfere in the affairs of the court, then the proposal of the national teacher naturally can't be counted." Wu Yanxi didn't wait for Mo Jingran to speak, and Zhang Zhao was speechless with a word.
"This ......" Zhang Zhao's intestines were about to regret it, and he suddenly felt that a trace of coldness flashed in the eyes of the national teacher full of smiles, but soon disappeared into the laughter.
"Your Majesty, according to what the ministers saw, although Zhang Guifei is guilty, she can spare her once for the sake of her conceiving a dragon heir. Besides, this dragon heir, who was hard to keep, if there is another mistake, I'm afraid I won't be able to save it next time. ”
To Zhang Zhao's surprise, Wu Yanxi actually said something to help him. As for the price of keeping the dragon heir, Zhang Zhao couldn't be clearer, he scattered most of the financial and material resources of Shangshu Mansion. Only then did he invite Wushan Medical Saint to diagnose and treat Zhang Shaoxin, which saved the dragon heir.
However, it is also extremely strange that this medical saint is willing to help him, the first emperor did not exchange the entire treasury for the treatment of the medical saint, but he Zhang Zhao was extremely lucky to get the help of the medical saint, and the words of the national teacher also made him puzzled, but after remembering that the national teacher and the medical saint were both from Wushan, everything was relieved. It's just that the national teacher not only helped him himself, but also persuaded the doctor to help him, what is the purpose? Wushan is really a mysterious place.
"Okay, then according to what the national teacher sees, Zhang Shaoxin will restore the title of concubine and let her return to the palace."
Originally, this matter made Mo Jingran hesitate, but the national teacher made a decision for him, and he was not offended by either party. Zhang Zhao is the secretary of the military department and holds a lot of military power in his hands, and although Prime Minister Li Cheng is a civilian official, he is a close friend of General Murong, and General Murong's old troops are all under his name, and his strength should not be underestimated.
"The ministers thank the emperor."
The officials on Zhang Zhao's side all knelt down to thank him, but Prime Minister Li Cheng's face was pale, and he flicked his sleeves and left. Mo Jingran calmly accepted this expected ending, only an imperceptible strangeness flashed in the eyes of the national teacher.
