Early the next morning.

The ministers gathered in the Chengtian Palace, crowded with people, but they were all whispering, looking curiously at the empty throne above from time to time.

"The emperor drove to ——!"

Accompanied by a long chanting, I saw Chu Emperor Xiang Guang, dressed in court clothes, wearing twelve crowns, walking in a tiger's step, surrounded by a group of servants, walked in.

The ministers were shocked.

The Great Chu Dynasty has been on the throne for more than 200 years, after five generations, and Xiang Guang has been on the throne for more than 30 years since he ascended the throne.

"Meet Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Accompanied by the ministers kneeling down together, it was like pushing the gold mountain and pouring the jade pillar. Suddenly, in the entire Chengtian Palace, there was a tsunami-like sound of mountains and tsunamis, endlessly.

"Zhu Qing is flat."

A slightly coercive voice came out of Xiang Guang's mouth.

At this moment, the ministers all felt that His Majesty the Emperor of Chu today seemed to be a little different?

It seems that His Majesty the Emperor, who was once wise and martial, and dictatorial, has returned......

Immediately after that, the civil and military officials played in order.

This process, said long is not long, short is not short, more than 200 years of Great Chu, since Emperor Gao, has been using this method to this day.

More than half an hour later, the folds were also piled up.

At this time, Xiang Guang said quietly: "Yesterday there was an accident in the palace, a centipede spirit sneaked into the palace, fortunately it was found in time, I don't know how you Aiqing think about this matter?" ”

After a short time, a minister walked out of the crowd and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter is strange, and he should be summoned to the palace to deal with it, so as to prevent future troubles." ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers who were still talking about it were suddenly shocked, and many people's faces also showed complicated colors.

National Teacher, Cihang Pudu!

This person can be said to have sprung up, and in just one year, he was favored and became the national teacher of the Great Chu Dynasty.

This is also something that has never happened in the more than 200 years of the Great Chu Dynasty.

For Cihang Pudu, the ministers present can be said to have mixed reviews, and some even secretly wrote a letter to reprimand and ask for the removal of the national teacher, but it didn't take long for these people to be impeached for various reasons.

Although these things seem to have nothing to do with the national teacher, many people with a heart can still see some clues from them.

In this way, the prestige of the national teacher gradually penetrated into the heart of the Manchu Dynasty.

"Since this is the case, then Xuanguo Shi will meet you."

With Xiang Guang's order, the ministers naturally didn't dare to talk too much, but they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

Seemingly...... Their majesty still attaches great importance to the national teacher as always, and the previous changes may be just an illusion.

"The Protector of the Nation has arrived in ——!"

After a while, it was accompanied by a burst of Sanskrit chanting.

But I saw a group of richly dressed monks, chanting scriptures, and hugging a huge chariot, walking towards the Chengtian Temple.

All around the car are isolated by a pale yellow curtain, and a figure can be vaguely seen.

Vaguely, not really.

"See the National Teacher!"

Seeing Cihang Pudu entering, the ministers were either willing or forced to be helpless, and bowed their heads one after another.

At this time, no one noticed that Xiang Guang, the Chu Emperor who was above, flashed a trace of anger in his eyes when he faced this scene.

"Boom."

The car fell, but I saw a monk wearing a monk's hat and a clear face, walking out of the car, and did not bow down, but nodded slightly to Emperor Chu, and said quietly: "I don't know what Your Majesty called me here, what instructions do you have." ”

There was not a hint of respect in the words.

And the ministers below seem to be accustomed to it, and no one dares to come forward to accuse anything.

Just because ...... Those who have done so have disappeared without clarity.

It seems that he didn't notice the rudeness of the visitor, and when he saw Cihang Pudu appearing, Xiang Guang said: "National teacher, the widow found a centipede essence in the palace yesterday, I don't know what the national teacher thinks of this matter?" ”

"Oh?"

When Cihang Pudu heard this, his face did not show the slightest discoloration, but he said quietly: "Presumably, there must be some demons who have mixed into the palace, and a ritual will be held in this seat to purge these ghosts and demons for Your Majesty." ”

"The national teacher has a heart, and he really deserves to be the pillar of the country."

Xiang Guang smiled lightly, a hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes, and he said intentionally or unintentionally: "Coincidentally, not long ago, the widow met a master from outside the world, who was a Taoist of the Maoshan faction. Why don't you pass him to the temple and get to know the national teacher? ”

Without waiting for Cihang Pudu to answer, he gave an order to the eunuch on the side.

"Come on, go and invite the Daoist of Zhiqiu."

However, the conversation between the two reached the ears of the civil and military officials below, and they couldn't help but have some doubts in their hearts.

Know the autumn road chief?

Could it be ...... His Majesty plans to support the Dao Court to fight against the growing power of the national teacher?

Either way, these things are not for them to deal with.

Therefore, all of them look at the nose, nose, mouth, mouth, and heart, and look indifferent.

After a long time, he saw the herald eunuch and hurriedly returned to the main hall.

"Your Majesty, Daoist Zhiqiu is outside the hall."

"Quick."

"Yes!"

Everyone couldn't help but turn their heads, but they saw a Taoist in Tsing Yi, slowly walking into the main hall, his demeanor was calm, without the slightest restraint, and his heart was also full of curiosity.

"Meet Your Majesty."

"Zhiqiu Dao came just in time, this is the widow's national teacher, the two are both cultivators, you might as well exchange a little more."

"Oh?"

When the words fell, Cihang Pudu suddenly smiled, turned his head to look at Su Zimo, and said quietly: "Amitabha, since the Taoist is from the Maoshan faction, I don't know what I am good at?" ”

"What Poor Dao is good at is the art of catching ghosts and eliminating demons!"

In this regard, Su Zimo couldn't help but smile and said without showing weakness: "Don't hide it, the nose of the poor road can smell all kinds of demons and ghosts, and right now, in this hall, there is a demonic aura that will not disperse for a long time!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the civil and military officials below changed color.

And Xiang Guang also frowned: "Dao Chief's words are true, in this Chengtian Palace, there are really monsters?" ”

"Not bad!"

Su Zimo nodded, turned his head to look at Cihang Pudu, the latter's expression at the moment was slightly cold, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

"I wonder what the National Teacher thinks?"

"Amitabha, since the Taoist chief keeps saying that there are monsters in this hall, why don't you find out this monster in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, so that your lordships and Your Majesty can see the means of the Taoist master?"
