【Southern Pershing Forbidden City: Heart Nourishing Palace】

After Uncle Zhao Guang went to prison, His Majesty seemed to be relieved a lot, and the days when Shenlong did not see the end of the day and had no fixed place to live, I don't know when it quietly stopped, and was thrown in the Taihe Palace, the Yangxin Palace, the Dongnuan Pavilion, and the bedrooms of the concubines everywhere for the night, and it was not a night maid, but mostly rested and healthy, so although he was not young, his health was still very good.

Yesterday was a busy day, today I don't go to the court, until I sleep until three o'clock in the day, and because there is no emperor's dictation, the Iron Mountain Conference that was originally to be held in the morning has been delayed until now and has not started, guests from all over the world, blacksmiths from all walks of life who participated in the conference, as well as various troupes, vendors, coats, guards, etc., can only wait, because this time the Iron Mountain will be different from the past- In the past, it was presided over by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites, but this time, His Majesty personally led the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites to preside, that is to say, the Iron Mountain Conference, which has always been presided over by court officials since the founding of the country, will usher in the royal car for the first time.

It is precisely because this news has been deliberately spread that those who have come here thousands of miles away, eager to show their talents, wait without complaint, and decide the future and fate of thousands of people, the rich or bleak Iron Mountain Conference, starting from the early morning, waiting for one person.

This is the emperor's majesty.

This is the arrogance of the Southern Empire as a great power. Others don't say it, even the envoys sent by the northern kingdom may not dare to bare their teeth at this time.

In the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, Emperor Ling slowly and seriously used breakfast, because it was close to noon at this time, so he ordered that there was no need to prepare lunch, but in this way, the cooks in the imperial dining room would directly stop cooking, and the lunches of the court officials who got up in the morning and worked all morning were gone.

The Manchu Dynasty civil and military, and His Majesty to eat a meal served in the kitchen, from the etiquette of the law, this is His Majesty's treat, although it is like this every day, but in the end it is also the emperor's grace, those court officials heard the news, no one dared to show displeasure.

Of course, it is impossible to make these national moths and part-time national pillars hungry, they are all powerful people, and the heirs go to the Beijing restaurant to order a takeaway casually, they can casually increase the workload of the restaurant chefs, but the chefs really don't dare to fry a few dishes casually and send them over.

The Linghuang doesn't care about these, at this time, he just takes an ivory toothpick to pick his teeth, and the high-end work of picking his teeth is one of the few "manual work" that the Linghuang can do by himself, and the rest, including dressing, can only rely on the palace maid to serve.

The silver-colored magician, it was at this time that he walked into the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, the Pilgrimage of All Nations, once in ten years, there is no reason not to have a holiday in the Hanlin Academy, of course, it is useless to have a holiday, because all the students went to observe and join in the fun, and none of them were idle at home......

Because he didn't have to preach, Yinchen changed into a shiny silver robe, this robe was an arcane enchantment equipment, not to mention the patterns that Lin Xuanchen had personally repaired, in Yinchen's mind, it was more precious than the red sermon supplement.

The Holy Salute is not a problem. The Linghuang also rarely greeted him, because the Linghuang knew that Yinchen was the real "iron pimple" Hou Ye, who was a small ghost, doing more and talking less, the most practical and sincere. The set of crab knives sent a while ago can not only kill crabs and encounter assassins, but also dismember assassins like crabs, Your Majesty, that is ten out of ten satisfaction.

Therefore, His Majesty said to him without five words, and then went straight to the point: "Before today's competition, you are already the appointed 'No. 1 forging master in the world', and your identity cannot be the same as that of waiting for leisure, so ah, this competition, you can only appear as the finale, and before, you need to lead several people from Blacksmith Street to form judges and discuss the craftsmanship of the world's elites! ”

"Your Majesty is taught!" Yinchen touched his nose, he knew that a living magician, the mouth cannon kung fu must be as good as the spell kung fu, and he relied on the civilization beyond the times, it is inevitable that the eyes of the ancients are seen by today's people, at home, among friends, the monarchs and ministers speak very decently and measuredly above the court, and it is very strict to deal with irrelevant people, this is the magician's "arrogance in the bones" 's common problem, their sarcasm and sarcasm are just agitation, hoping that the people who are being sarcastic will see their own shortcomings, be ashamed and brave, and go to the next level, but many times the firepower is too fierce.

Magician, after all, is the evolutionary form of the reader, and the reader, loyalty, admonition, straight, positive, indispensable, the word Wenzheng, the text lies in the establishment of the right way in the world, clear right and wrong, know the rise and fall, followed by the text to carry the Tao, these two words are as heavy as mountains, but not child's play.

"In today's world, there are so many forgers, the Northern Puppet Dynasty, there is also a blacksmith street, which is bigger than my blacksmith street, and magnificent, but they are all indiscriminate people, these people, you don't have to give them any face, forcing one to die is counted as one! Others, you can listen to the opinions of those old forgers, after all, you are young, and you can be good at martial arts, and you are afraid that you only focus on high-quality products, and your skills are amazing in the world, and the doorway of assessment and competition is not as good as those old people who have participated in previous conferences!"

"Weichen Xie Your Majesty is complete!" How could Yinchen not hear the meaning of protection in such an arrangement, the Spirit Emperor must have known that he participated in the Iron Mountain Conference for the first time, and he had never even done it as a contestant, how could he be a judge? Let him be a judge, but because he is the first master in the world, and other judges are not qualified to comment on what he has created, so there is such a painstaking arrangement. The so-called ginger is still old and spicy, and the Spirit Emperor's consideration is really comprehensive, compared to Yinchen, a stunned magician who doesn't care about anything except magic and people's livelihood and fame, he is much older.

This Spirit Emperor is as careful as a hair, and he also has ambitions, but what he lacks is courage and courage.

No, he does not lack courage, what he lacks is actually the most indispensable power of His Majesty, if Emperor Ling can be dictatorial, he may not be inferior to Emperor Wu in the north, he can make the decision to break the thousand-year-old ancestral system, "pass on the throne to Zhao Guangyi, brother to brother", and has already secretly issued an edict to establish a prince, proving that he does not lack courage.

Yinchen stood respectfully in the corner, thinking so, for this fat old man, for this Majesty who spent all his time drinking and tyrannical, he couldn't help but have a trace of admiration, in this world, there are many extremely evil people with black hearts, but perfect good people have never appeared. Behind the appearance of Emperor Ling's "weakness and incompetence" and "misleading the country and the people", there is still a king's heart that asks for the life of the people of the world.

"You don't have to thank me, in the vast world now, you are the only one who can talk to me without guard, at least you are the only one among men. Come on, watch the seats, watch the tea!"

The emperor gave him a seat, and Yinchen sat down after thanking him, comparing the Manchu royal family more than 100,000 years ago, and the great slave of Jianzhou thousands of kilometers away, the royal family of the Southern Empire was lenient and respectful to the people, and unconsciously, it became an important reason for Yinchen to stand up for them and deal with the northern country. Although the royal family of the northern kingdom is working hard and the country is prosperous, but the difference between the monarch and the minister is too serious, the courtier is the slave of the king, and when he sees the king, he can only kneel and speak, for the real scholar, this is an insulting thing and a loss of dignity, and Yinchen is very disgusted with the etiquette of kneeling, he knows that if people kneel for a long time, their knees will take root.

"I'm scheduled to preside over the Iron Mountain Conference after noon, and I'll take advantage of this time to talk to you, the lecturer of the Hanlin Academy, about something. The Spirit Emperor stroked his beard casually and said, "First of all, it's about Li Rangxian's beheading outside the gate, what do you think?"

"If you close yourself off the country, you will lose the country. Yinchen replied without thinking about it, he knew Li Rangxian's affairs, advocated the sea ban, closed the country, in order to seek peace for a lifetime, after all, there was such a big thing in the East China Sea, and the loss of the imperial navy was not small, Li Rangxian proposed the law of the sea ban to prevent the loss of the people, which is also a method, but the sea ban together, the trade of the families on the southeast coast will be over, and the livelihood of the ordinary people who go out to sea to fish will be lost。

"Oh, it's still so serious?" the Spirit Emperor raised his eyebrows, his eyebrows were now many gray.

Although the empire is agriculturally developed and peaceful and prosperous, the farmers do not rush to the market, and this festival is not good, not to mention the people of the market, every household has the need to trade with outsiders, as small as a person, a family is like this, not to mention the empire, although our empire can be self-sufficient, but this self-sufficiency can not last forever Bliss, Western specialties, Oriental specialties, people love them, can not be cut off...... What's more, imperial silk, porcelain, tea, local specialties, out of the sea ban, that is, the real money and silver of the whole ship, the customs duties of the imperial court, the trade of the rich, the reselling of the common people, the fishing of fishermen, this is all money, all livelihood, the so-called cutting off people's wealth is tantamount to killing parents, and now cutting off one-tenth of the imperial court's taxes, this is shaking the society, and its heart can be punished!"

"But what is the explanation for the exodus of the people and the covetousness of the overseas barbarians?"

"Someone else is holding a bow and arrow at you, and if you close your eyes, will you not be shot to death? Weichen's words are not good, but this is the truth. The so-called belligerence will perish, and forgetting the war will be dangerous, and the armament of the navy must be maintained, and as long as the prestige of the navy is still there, there is no need to worry too much. The Franc cannon is very powerful, but as long as that thing rings on the ship, it will definitely capsize, Your Majesty should ask the people of the Military Supervision Department of the Ministry of Industry more, when will General Dinghai's bubble be completed!"

His Majesty nodded when he heard this, and said: "Sure enough, he is an understanding person, the military is slightly smart, and he has a long-term vision, but he is really a little rushed to speak." The second thing, the matter of Chongwangfu, what do you think?"

"Minister...... I don't know what to do. Your Majesty is gracious, allowing the minister to reunite with his lover, and allowing the minister to smile a little in the future, the minister ...... There is no other thought than to be grateful, minister-"

"Gratitude, really?——" The emperor's voice suddenly cooled, interrupting Yinchen's words. Silver Dust was slightly surprised, it was the first time he had heard the Spirit Emperor speak to him in such a tone.

Yinchen raised his head a little puzzled and a little dazed, and looked directly into the emperor's eyes, his gaze was pure and natural, without the slightest artificiality. He is not afraid of the Spirit Emperor, in every sense of the word, so he does not have any need to lie to the Spirit Emperor and hide it, he is not afraid, he is not weak-minded, and he will not think of ways to hide anything from the world, or blindly flatter. Because of integrity and calmness. At this time, he simply wanted to know which unintentional words he had angered the Spirit Emperor.

"What a hard old boy to serve. Silver Dust thought so when he saw the Spirit Emperor's dark green eyes.

But who knew that in those dark green eyes, a few fierce silver-green glows suddenly shot out, and the light was dim and obscure, and although it had a bright silver-green color, it was still very inconspicuous and difficult to identify. When those rays of light fell on Silver Dust's body, directly through the protection of the overlord, pierced into his mind through his eyes, and went straight to his sea of souls that had long been purified into a mechanical maze, and then—

The mud cow enters the sea, and there is no return.

It was only at this time that Yinchen was a little alert, and he barely made out the silver-green light from the emperor's dark green eyes, and only then did he know that he had been attacked by some kind of spirit. However, even if the emperor launched a spiritual attack with the help of a powerful ancient light weapon, his own warrior soul that only belonged to the realm of entering the body was too weak (compared to a mage), and he couldn't shake the soul realm of the silver dust that was almost at the level of the god of law, it was like shooting glass beads with a slingshot to hit the earth, and it was impossible to have any visible effect at all.

"Look up and look at me—ah, it seems that you are quite honest, the structure of your eyes is quite complicated, but the gaze is pure. The Spirit Emperor ordered this while launching a spiritual attack, but immediately blushed and laughed casually, breaking the awkward and solemn atmosphere, and at the same time he first shifted his gaze.

Yinchen lowered his eyes and didn't speak, he understood at this time, the emperor in front of him not only had the courage to fight to the death and a consistent sense of responsibility for the inheritance of Guozuo, but also had the professionalism of an emperor. Yinchen was silent, and actually studied every movement of the Spirit Emperor with his heart, in preparation for the day when he ascended to the throne of God in the future. However, he doesn't need to pretend to be very hard like the Spirit Emperor, because the Spirit Emperor's subordinates only have people, no machines, and there is always an element of human bias in his channels to obtain information from the outside world, so he has to use some imperial power techniques, and Silver Dust, after the global surveillance network established by magic and technology, can obtain a large amount of information without any modification bias, so he doesn't need to rely too much on these imperial techniques. Yinchen secretly sighed in his heart, he and the Spirit Emperor had used each other, and even had some hostility, but from now on, he had to regard the Spirit Emperor as a little half of the mentor - it was impossible to learn the ** royal technique from Gabroyle's mage, and even the Pope would not necessarily have this technique.
