On an early morning in the spring of the third year of Dajin Yongtai, the spring rain just passed last night, which knocked down countless spring flowers and leaves, making the whole air full of intoxicating vitality. The sky had just dawned, and before the sun had even risen, the city of Shangluo was already full of birds and flowers. As the national capital of the Great Jin Dynasty, Shangluo is always so lively and prosperous, and there is never a shortage of hot topics. Three months ago, the crown prince was deposed, and the situation in the whole city was like a fuse that had been ignited in a barrel of explosives, but in the end, the fuse fell silent before it burned into the barrel. Most of the common people did not know what was going on behind the negotiations and compromises of the princes and ministers of the court, but this did not reduce the fact that they were talking about this explosive news in groups of three or five in the streets or with a mysterious face or with a passionate or happy face.

The abolished crown prince Huang Fu Yu has always been the focus of the empire, since he was five years old, he showed a unique talent for cultivation, and at the age of seven and a half, he succeeded in condensation, half a year old to equal the record of the founder of the Great Jin Empire, his great-grandfather, the historical legend Huang Fuyi. His grandfather, Emperor Wu of Jin, the first emperor of the Great Jin Empire, said excitedly: "This son really has the demeanor of Emperor Xuan back then, and he will definitely become the greatest emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty in the future!" From that day on, everyone knew that Huang Fu Yu had been appointed by the next generation. Everyone in the Great Jin Dynasty was amazed by Huang Fuyu's talent and talent, and they all believed that Huang Fu Yu could become a historical legend like Emperor Shang Wu of the previous Great Shang Dynasty in the future, and create the most gorgeous and most worthy of special mention in the Great Jin Dynasty. Almost everyone has made the same joke behind their backs: the reason why the current Emperor Fu Zhen of the Great Jin Dynasty was able to finally inherit the throne among so many talented brothers was entirely because he gave birth to a good son.

But the problem is that Huang Fuyu's biological mother died when he was seven years old, and Huang Fuyu's only son who is currently the queen is of average talent. A sentence that everyone in Shangluo City knows is: Queen Jia Zhi wants to abolish Huangfu Yu's heart, and everyone knows it. It's just that he is afraid of the fact that there are so many powerful vassal kings in the Huangfu family, so he has been holding back and secretly looking for opportunities.

Finally, three months ago, I don't know what method Empress Jia Zhi used to get a handwritten letter from the prince, and there was a sentence written on it: "Your Majesty should be yourself, otherwise I should enter the palace for Your Majesty." On the same day, after Jia Jia in the imperial court, he took out this handwritten letter and showed it to the princes and ministers, and everyone had to admit that this handwriting was indeed written by the prince himself.

Everyone in the Great Jin Dynasty knows that the current Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty is generally talented, and in the second year after succeeding to the throne, I don't know if it was because of the pressure of living under the aura of his father and son for a long time, he forcibly wanted to break through the cultivation but went crazy, and his consciousness was sometimes sober and sometimes confused, and the time of confusion was far longer than the time of being sober. The major affairs in the court are basically decided by the princes and ministers, although any resolution must be confirmed by the emperor Yuxi, although everyone knows in their hearts that most of the time, it is the big seal that Empress Jia has stamped in place of the emperor. But Empress Jia has hardly raised any objections over the years, and basically the important ministers in the court will do whatever they discuss. Therefore, although everyone in Shangluo City knew that Empress Jia Zhi wanted to abolish the crown prince Fu Yu, the important ministers of the court pretended to be confused and would never mention this matter.

Even if everyone knows in their hearts that Huang Fu is really not suitable to sit in the position of the supreme in the world, but this matter can be thought in their hearts, but they can't say it in their mouths! Even if everyone thinks that Huang Fuyu is more suitable for the position of the supreme in the world, they can only think about this matter in their hearts, and they can't say it in their mouths!

Rebellious ministers and thieves, disloyal and unfilial, few people in this kind of big hat can have the courage to challenge publicly.

The focus of everyone's debate in Shangluo City these days is whether this handwritten letter was written by the prince himself, or what method did Queen Jia Zhi use to make the prince who entered the palace at that time write such a handwritten letter that could send him to the point of no return.

However, on such an early morning, the center of the conversation on the streets and alleys of Upper Los Angeles was finally no longer the matter of the abolished crown prince Huang Fuyu. Even the streets and alleys of the commoners, even the princes and ministers talked about it every day, and the big people wearing wide robes and long sleeves were also talking about this matter with great interest.

The matter of abolishing the prince is too sensitive, and these bigwigs almost never mention half a word in public, but most of them talk about this matter with a smile on their faces.

Of course, a few families were happy and a few were sad, and Shen Xiu was in a bad mood after getting up early in the morning to listen to the housekeeper's report on this matter, and even very bad. Although when he appeared on the edge of Luoshui as usual, his face was full of that kind of very friendly smile as usual, but the house slave who served Shen Xiu to eat in the morning at home was beaten with a hundred sticks just because he spilled some of the water in the cup, which had already revealed how bad Shen Xiu's mood was in this political upstart who had suddenly become popular in the past few years.

Shen Xiu is the current dean of Dajin Hongdu College!

Shen Xiu is a legend in the eyes of many poor cultivators in the Great Jin!

Luoshui is a river that runs through Shangluo from east to west, and legend has it that the ancient sage Fuxi received the gift of God here, obtained the book of Hetuluo, and created the era of human cultivation. In later generations, when the Middle-earth people founded, they set Shangluo, the center of Middle-earth, as the national capital, and built a statue of the great sage Fuxi in the place where the turtle appeared with the river Tuluo book on his back, so that everyone could worship and worship. There are statues of Fuxi saints in many places in the Great Jin Dynasty, and the statue of Fuxi saints in Shangluo City is the tallest in the empire, full of thirty zhang high, far higher than the city wall of Shangluo, and only a little lower than the star-picking tower in the palace. The first thing that all the cultivators in the Great Jin Dynasty came to Shangluo must have been to come to worship in front of the Fuxi statue.

In front of the statue of Fuxi, there is no difference in identity!

This is a rule that all cultivators in the Great Jin Dynasty abide by.

Therefore, the Luoshui in Shangluo City has become an exclusive venue for cultivators to talk and talk over time. Here, there is no distinction between identities and no upper and lower hierarchies. Even the three dukes in the court are like ordinary cultivators, only wearing the most ordinary robes of cultivators. This is a rule formed by everyone after Dashang broke off the inheritance of the Great Zhou.

The world is the world of all cultivators, and the world is not just the world of the Son of Heaven!

Emperor Wen of Zhou, the first emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, received the jade seal from Emperor Shang Xian in the suburbs of Shangluo, and said such a sentence loudly in front of everyone!

"Xiao Shen. Just as Shen Xiu was absentmindedly greeting others, he heard a gentle voice coming from a distance. The voice was not loud, not in a hurry, but it was clear and clear over the noise of others.

Xiao Shen: In these years, he is qualified to call him that, the world is so big, but there are not many people in the world.

The territory of Dajin is vast, but the entire Dajin is only one college, Hongdu College. Of course, if it is too much to learn, it is not an academy. Anyway, in the minds of everyone in the Great Jin Dynasty, Taixue is a court institution rather than an academy, and there are only masters of various schools of cultivation in Taixue, but there are no apprentices. The only college is Hongdu College. Hongdu Academy was originally planned by Emperor Fuyan in the last years of Emperor Wu of Jin to let Taichang host it, but Taichang refused to accept the emperor's opinion in the name of already having Taixue. After repeated discussions in the imperial court, this proposition of Emperor Wu of Jin was always not passed. In the end, Huang Fuyan changed his method and asked the Shaofu, who was in charge of royal affairs in Jiuqing, to host it, and finalized that the rank of the dean of Hongdu Academy was only half a level lower than that of Jiuqing, and it could be said that he was a high-ranking official in the imperial court.

Besides, even if he doesn't talk about his official position, but only about cultivation, Shen Xiu is also recognized by many people as a rising star among middle-aged cultivators who are very promising to be promoted to the level of a great grandmaster in the future. This is something that both people who like Shen Xiu and those who hate Shen Xiu have to admit it. Shen Xiu is a genius in cultivation, as a person from a poor family, he can cultivate to such a realm under the condition that the cultivation resources are very lacking, which really impresses countless people.

As soon as that voice entered his ears, he saw that Shen Xiu immediately put away his friendly smile, and his expression became respectful and solemn in a blink of an eye. When he looked up, he saw an old man with a white beard but a red face under the statue of Fuxi, looking at him with a kind face.

He didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, his knees bent slightly, and a force immediately passed from his thighs through his knees, ankles and toes, and the muscles and muscles that had been refined by spiritual power for a long time contained majestic power, and in the blink of an eye, the person had already flown up several feet, with long sleeves fluttering, and Shen Xiu and his people were like a wild goose passing by, and they had landed in front of the old man.

"Zhang Gong!" Shen Xiu clenched his hands into fists, stretched his arms straight, bent down and shook deeply, "After the end of school, Shen Xiu will greet Zhang Gong!"

"Hehehe. The male raised his right hand and said, "You and I are cultivators, there is no distinction between dignity and inferiority under the statue of a saint. ”

"There is no dignity under the statue of the saint. Shen Xiu had already straightened up when he spoke, but his mouth was even more respectful, "But you also have to talk about the order." Zhang Gong, you are the most prestigious great master in the world, the mainstay of our Great Jin, and the banner of all our Great Jin cultivators. ”

"Xiao Shen, your cultivation has not risen in the past few years, my old man doesn't know, but your kung fu in this mouth has really risen. That Duke Zhang smiled casually, "There are two princes in front, how can I, Lao Zhang, dare to be called a great master." “

"This is definitely my Shen Xiu's heartfelt words!" Shen Xiu's tone was full of sincerity, "Duke Zhang, you are different from the prince. They are from a high family, the Jinyang royal family. What kind of cultivation resources have they enjoyed since childhood. In the past few hundred years, the world's recognized great master of cultivating truth is only Zhang Gong, who was born in a poor family! Shen Xiu had already used the beam sound technique when he said this, and with his current cultivation, no outsiders would be able to hear his words at all.

"Xiao Shen," that Zhang Gong also used the beam sound technique at this time, "I thought that after following King Zhao for so many years, your temperament has already been honed and peaceful, but I don't want to be as sharp as when you were young." Listen to my old man's words, if you continue like this, it is easy to hurt others and yourself. ”

The corners of Shen Xiu's mouth twitched, a helpless smile appeared on his face, and then he said casually: "Born like this, people are like dogs." I, Shen Xiu, still have that point of view, if I can give some of the resources of those high-ranking sects to the children of the poor sects, then how many more cultivators and how many more great masters can there be in the world. ”

Zhang Gong shook his head when he heard this, but he had already diverted the topic when he spoke again: "The people from the Jinyang Wang family have already come to Shangluo City last night, presumably Xiao Shen, you must also know." ”

Shen Xiu nodded, he was worried about this matter in the morning, "I came to trouble our Hongdu Academy, but I don't know who it is, and I hope Zhang Xuan will know." ”

That Zhang Gong didn't answer directly, but asked: "Old man, I also heard that this time they seem to be trying to trouble one of the three heroes of Hongdu Academy, what is going on." ”

Shen Xiu smiled bitterly, "An eldest lady of the Jinyang Wang family ran away from home last year and entered our Hongdu Academy, Zhang Gong, you must know about this, last year was full of storms in the city." This kind of famous lady will not be included according to my original meaning, but when His Majesty comes down with an edict, I have to accept it. ”

"Oh, this eldest lady of the Wang family, what kind of mess is there in your Hongdu Academy?"

"This eldest lady of the Wang family and a student of our Hongdu Academy met each other, and it is Zhang Bu, one of the three heroes of Hongdu that many people often say. There is nothing to say about the qualifications of this chapter, it is a good qualification for cultivation, and people are also very hard-working. His attainments in body refining swordsmanship are among the best among these students in Hongdu Academy, and I have always been very optimistic about him. But where did he come from a humble family! What is the status of the Jinyang royal family? Two of the three princes of the imperial court are from the Jinyang royal family, and they are among the most wealthy families in the world. How could someone marry the eldest lady of the Wang family to a poor child. No, I heard that last month, the Jinyang Wang family and the Chen Liuruan family jointly announced that they would betrot this eldest lady to a son of the Ruan family. Zhang Gong, you said, at this juncture, what are they going to do in the Jinyang royal family?

When Shen Xiu said this, Zhang Gong's expression kept smiling unchanged. Many people in Dajin know what Dean Shen's heart disease is. He was also talented back then, and he was also favored by an eldest lady of the Boling Cui family, one of the world's wealthy families, and the two fell in love with each other. But in the end, the two of them were still under the huge pressure of the Cui family. From now on, there is no longer that dashing Shen Langjun in the world, only the capable Shen Peng.

"At least the two princes in the family didn't speak. Zhang Gong smiled, "It's just that the children are in the past, Xiao Shen, you can do whatever you want." The minds of those two princes are well known to every cultivator of our Great Jin. ”

The two kings are in charge, and the country and the people are safe. This is a sentence that every Great Jin cultivator has put on his lips over the years. Over the years, the emperor has long been unable to deal with state affairs, and the backbone of the court is the three princes of the court, the two princes and this Zhang Gong.

However, before Zhang Gong's voice fell, he immediately asked: "Xiao Shen, do you know who the junior from the Jinyang Wang family is this time?"

"Who?" Shen Xiu instinctively felt bad.

"A sword that captivates the city!"
