In the meeting hall of the Demon Realm Demon Palace, the jade-faced fox sat on the throne, and the black elder below led seven or eight Demon Realm elders to bow down and stand, but the four generals of the Demon Realm were not there.

The jade-faced fox looked down, his expression was stern, and he said solemnly: "Why haven't the four generals come yet?" ”

Elder Hei bowed down and said, "Great King, could it be that the four generals have delayed them because of something?" ”

The jade-faced fox was dissatisfied: "Is there anything more important than seeing this king?" In doing so, they clearly do not take this king seriously. ”

Elder Black was startled, and at this time, he saw a demon soldier rushing in, kneeling down and saying, "Report to the king." ”

The jade-faced fox said impatiently, "What's the matter? ”

The demon soldier hurriedly said: "King, the Red Evil General sent someone to report, saying that because there is a temporary matter in the headquarters, he cannot come to discuss the matter, and ask the king to forgive him." ”

The jade-faced fox's face instantly became very ugly, and the elders below whispered, "Isn't this a clear trick?" ”

"What is there that is so big as seeing the king?"

"It's like, they haven't done it once or twice, it's too much."

An elder hesitated, stood up and bowed down and said: "Your lord, the four generals have shirked their excuses for not coming to the deliberations for many times, which is really a great disrespect to the king. ”

Everyone was shocked, and all the elders hesitated, and they all bowed down and said, "Please punish the king severely." ”

Elder Black was thoughtful, and the jade-faced fox hesitated, "This ...... Elder Black, the four generals are disrespectful to this king, what do you think should be done? ”

Elder Hei hesitated, bowed down and said, "The king, my subordinates think that it is not polite for the four generals not to come to discuss the matter, but it is very likely that it is indeed because of some unavoidable reason, so my subordinates implore the king to calm his anger and make a decision when the inquiry is clear." ”

All the elders looked at each other, all puzzled, and the jade-faced fox was angry in his heart, and said angrily: "Ho! As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves and walked to the back.

The demons were startled and looked at each other, and Elder Black breathed a sigh of relief.

When the elders saw the jade-faced fox leaving, they hurriedly rushed over and surrounded Elder Hei and said, "Isn't it obvious that the four generals want to rebel, why does Elder Hei speak for them?" ”

"That's it!"

"Do you really have to wait until they rebel?"

"Yes, yes, the first strike is stronger!"

Elder Black persuaded: "Elders, please calm your anger, what you are worried about is very clear below, but the current situation is still unclear, everyone must not speculate randomly, and once the sword soldiers are mobilized, the impact on the demon world is really immeasurable, I think it is better to wait until everything is clear." ”

An elder hurriedly asked, "What's not clear about this?" Since the king's absence, the four of them have often used various excuses not to attend the meeting, isn't this unclear? ”

The elders said, "Yes......"

"The four generals usually rely on the strength of the soldiers and the horses, and don't take us seriously."

"This time, we must deal with their arrogance."

"That's it, or I'll have it later."

Elder Hei persuaded: "Everyone, don't be impatient, don't be impatient, don't be impatient, everyone must not rush to make a conclusion, the matter of rebellion is a big matter, if it causes a misunderstanding between the four generals, and the war in the demon world is together, everyone will be unhappy, let's see what the king means." ”

One of the elders wondered, "What does the king mean?" ”

Another elder hurriedly chimed in: "Yes, yes, it mainly depends on the king's meaning. ”

"Yes, yes."

The elder nodded and said, "Well, in that case, Elder Hei, I think you should ask the king and find out what the king means, as long as the king gives the order, we will definitely obey the king's order and sweep away the traitors." ”

All the elders said in unison: "Yes, yes! ”

Elder Hei thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, then you guys, please wait a while, and then go in and ask to see the king." ”

In the apse of the Demon Palace, the jade-faced fox sat on the couch with a solemn expression.

At this time, Elder Black walked in slowly from outside, bowed and saluted, "Your subordinates will knock on the king." ”

The jade-faced fox came back to his senses and waved his hand, "Elder Black is exempt." ”

Elder Hei said, "King Xie." "Stand up respectfully.

The jade-faced fox looked at Elder Hei and said seriously: "Since the death of the king, this king has been a female streamer, with humble qualifications, and there are many disobediences below, with the support of Elder Lao Hei and the elders, this king is really grateful." ”

Elder Hei bowed down and said, "The king's words are serious, assisting the king is the duty of his subordinates, and we should be loyal to the king wholeheartedly." ”

The jade-faced fox nodded and said: "Well, this king also knows your loyalty, but you have also seen what happened just now, the rebellion of the four generals has been revealed, and the elders are also very dissatisfied, but why are you ......?"

Elder Hei bowed down and said, "The four generals are rude to the king, it really shouldn't be. ”

The jade-faced fox wondered, "Then why don't you agree with their opinion?" ”

Elder Hei bowed down and said, "Great King, there are no more than two ways to subdue courtiers with bad intentions. ”

The jade-faced fox was curious: "Oh, which two?" ”

Elder Hei said: "One is to subdue by force, and the other is to subdue people with virtue. ”

The jade-faced fox was puzzled: "You mean to want this king to subdue people with virtue?" ”

Elder Hei shook his head and said, "No, my subordinates think that in the current situation, it is best to use both martial arts and virtues. ”

The jade-faced fox was surprised: "Martial arts and virtues are used together? ”

Elder Black nodded and said: "Yes, the king, the four generals are the backbone of our demon world, and the men and horses under their command account for about half of our demon world, if you use force, even if you accept it, our demon world will be greatly damaged, and the demon world will be in chaos, the demon world will not be able to control it, this is not what we want to see, and the four generals support their own troops, and the king's blind concession can only increase their ambitions, so the best way is to deter by force, and then apply virtue and probation, so that they will voluntarily serve and dare not rebel, And the four generals have always been headed by the red evil, and at present, the four generals have disrespect for the king because of the red evil, according to the observation of his subordinates, the reason why the red evil has different intentions is that he thinks that his skills and qualifications are above the king, and he thinks that the inheritor to the throne should be his red evil, so he will be dissatisfied. ”

The jade-faced fox nodded and said, "Well, your analysis is good, but how should this king deal with it now?" ”

Elder Hei bowed down and said: "The subordinates think that although the four generals have their own troops, the rest of the elders are loyal to the king, so they don't dare to take action yet, for today's plan, that is, the king should improve his skills as soon as possible, and his mana is higher than that of the red evil, and then he will be able to use both grace and power, so as to envelop the heart of the red evil and stabilize the overall situation of the demon world." ”

The jade-faced fox thought for a moment and nodded, "What Elder Black said is very true...... However, the problem is that this king's cultivation time is still short, although he has the help of magic beads, how can he not help it, and his skill is slowly improved, and what way can he improve his skill quickly? ”

Elder Black thought for a moment and said, "The Great King has the Demon Bead, this is the best way. ”

The jade-faced fox was surprised: "Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

Elder Black bowed down and said: "Great King, there is a supreme spell in our Demon Realm called Yin Yang Soul Devouring Dafa, only the person who has the magic bead is the Great King, you can cultivate, after the cultivation is successful, the skill can be increased several times, and when the time comes, I am afraid that it will not be the turn of the Red Evil to disobey." ”

The jade-faced fox was startled, nodded and said, "Well, this king has also heard the king say it, but it is said that the king has not practiced either, why is this?" ”

Elder Hei said: "The key to cultivating this magic skill is that on the day of success, it is necessary to guide the hearts of pure yin people born in the yin year and moon and the sun and sun in one hundred and four yin years, otherwise the muscles and veins will be broken and the people will die, and the king will not cultivate because this pure yin and pure yang person is difficult to find." ”

The jade-faced fox was puzzled: "Then how do you think that this king can cultivate?" ”

The elder smiled and said, "Great King, have you forgotten? You also have the identity of the national teacher of the Great Zhou State, as long as the king makes a few words in front of the current martial emperor, and with the help of the power of the imperial court, he can catch hundreds of people, then it is not a matter of being able to catch it? ”

The jade-faced fox was taken aback, and said with a happy face: "Well, Elder Black is really thoughtful, and he is worthy of the first military master of our demon realm." ”

Elder Black bowed down and said, "The king has won the prize." ”

The jade-faced fox smiled: "Elder Black is modest, the Demon Realm has you, so is there no hope for revival?" Ha ha. He laughed.

The Demon Realm, the Red Evil Cave Mansion, the Red Evil Sitting High, Mei Niang, Heartless, and Fierce are accompanied below, and the four of them look solemn.

At this time, a demon soldier rushed in from outside and reported: "Report." ”

Chi Xie was startled and hurriedly said, "Is there any news?" ”

The demon soldier hurriedly bowed down and said, "Report to the general, there is no movement, and the king also sent a message to the general that you should handle the affairs of the headquarters well and not be distracted." ”

Red Evil was surprised: "That's it? Nothing else? ”

The demon soldier shook his head and said, "No." ”

Chi Xie was stunned for a moment, and waved his hand helplessly: "Stand down." ”

The demon soldier hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes." "Retreat.

Wuxin wondered: "We have repeatedly excused ourselves not to go, the purpose is to provoke the king, let her send troops to fight us, we can take the opportunity to start an incident, but now the king is still as stable as Mount Tai, if we start an incident, it will attract criticism and it will be difficult to succeed." ”

Red Evil picked up the wine glass on the side and drank the wine, silent.

Mei Niang said carefully: "Big brother, do we really want to do this?" If the king really blames him and gathers all the elders to ask the teacher, although we are evenly matched in terms of strength, it is very likely that we will not be able to eat and walk around. ”

Fiercely said: "Second sister, what are you afraid of, when have the four of us been afraid of those old immortals, besides, the eldest brother's skill is not under that girl, if we fight, we will definitely win." ”

Mei Niang was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Fourth brother, don't forget, the magic bead is still in her hand, the magic bead is powerful, and the eldest brother may not be the opponent of that woman." ”

Frightened, he hurriedly said: "This ......"

Wuxin said cautiously: "Besides, among the elders, I am most worried about Elder Hei, he is ...... Big brother, what do you mean ......"

Chi Xie pondered, nodded and said: "Second sister is right, at the moment, our strength can only be regarded as evenly matched compared to the king, in case of a fight, we will be very troublesome, it is better to be careful, things can't be done too dead, we have to leave room for maneuver......"

Wuxin nodded and said, "Then what are you going to do, big brother?" ”

Chi Xie commanded: "Second sister, you immediately order someone to prepare a generous gift and send it to the Demon Palace, saying that we are honoring the king to make amends." ”

Mei Niang hurriedly bowed and said, "It's the eldest brother." ”

Chi Xie continued: "Third brother, fourth brother, if you want to continue to secretly lobby those elders, you must win them over, as long as they are on our side, when the time comes, it will not be her turn not to agree." ”

Unintentionally and ferociously, he hurriedly bowed down and said, "It's big brother." ”

The red evil drank all the wine in the cup, and said hatefully: "I want to see what way she can control the entire demon world as a woman." As he spoke, he crumpled the wine glass in his hand.

Unintentional, flattering, and fierce.

In the apse of the Demon Realm, there were piles of gifts piled up in the hall, and the jade-faced fox and the black elder stood aside and watched.

The jade-faced fox smiled: "It seems that this red evil also has some scruples, and you have guessed correctly." ”

Elder Hei smiled and said, "Great King, from this point of view, they do have some scruples and dare not act rashly. ”

The jade-faced fox nodded and said, "Well, however, this king has recently received a secret report that they are secretly lobbying the three elders of the Demon Scorpion Clan, the Demon Bird Clan, and the Demon Snake Clan, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

Elder Hei bowed down and said, "Back to the king, my subordinates have also heard a little about this matter, but please rest assured that the king has a very good personal relationship with these elders and his subordinates, and his subordinates can let the three elders make a false accusation to them, and try to delay the time as much as possible, so as to wait for the day when the king will succeed." ”

The jade-faced fox nodded and said, "Well, very good, then the king will rest assured, Elder Black, this matter will be left to you." ”

Elder Black hurriedly bowed down and said, "It's the Great King." ”

Wu Zetian in the Great Zhou Palace, two male pets sat on the couch and massaged Wu Zetian's shoulders, Wu Zetian leaned on the couch and closed his eyes to enjoy.

A male pet said softly: "Your Majesty, is this comfortable?" ”

Wu Zetian nodded and said, "Well, comfortable, Changzong and Yi Zhi, the two of you are becoming more and more skillful in your skills, and they have all rubbed into my heart." ”

Zhang Yizhi on the side said with a smile: "Emperor Xie praises." ”

At this time, I saw a eunuch come in and bow down and say, "Your Majesty, the national teacher asks to see you." ”

Wu Zetian was pleasantly surprised: "Oh? The national teacher is back, please, please. "Sit up.

The eunuch hurriedly bowed down and said, "Obey!" He bowed down and retreated to the door and preached loudly, "Master Xuanguo came to see him." ”

After a while, Wu Zetian sat on the couch, and Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi bowed and stood aside.

At this time, he saw the jade-faced fox slowly coming in, bowed down and said, "Amitayus, Weichen has seen the emperor." ”

Wu Zetian said happily: "National teacher, you are back, please get up, please get up." ”

The jade-faced fox hurriedly bowed down and said, "Emperor Xie." ”

Wu Zetian nodded and said, "The national teacher can sit and talk back." ”

The jade-faced fox bowed down and said, "Emperor Xie!" He bowed down and sat down in his seat to the side.

Wu Zetian said: "National teacher, I am really a little unaccustomed to the days when you go out to preach, but fortunately, there are these two lovely people you recommend, who serve me comfortably." ”

Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi hurriedly said: "Thank you for your praise." ”

The jade-faced fox looked at Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi, and said in his heart: "It seems that the two people I arranged are right." "Busy said, "Changzong and Yi Zhi's ability to serve the emperor is their blessing, and they should do their best." ”

Wu Zetian nodded and said: "Well, but speaking of which, you still have to have a national teacher who knows heroes, ah, by the way, the national teacher, what do you gain when you go to Beijing this time?" ”

The jade-faced fox hesitated: "This ......"

Wu Zetian was puzzled: "There is something unspeakable about the national teacher, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

The jade-faced fox said: "Wechen has been traveling around the prefectures and counties around the capital these days, and I overheard a rumor circulating among the people, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not. ”

Wu Zetian was puzzled: "Oh? Does that have something to do with the imperial court, or does it have something to do with me? ”

The jade-faced fox hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, it has a great relationship with the court and the emperor. ”

Wu Zetian was surprised: "Oh, let's hear it." ”

The jade-faced fox said carefully: "This rumor says that in less than three years, there will be two rebels who will gather to oppose the emperor, which is extremely unfavorable to both the Great Zhou and the emperor, and the birth time of these two people is very strange, one is born when the yin year is yin and the moon is cloudy, and the other is born when the sun is yang in the yang year. ”

Wu Zetian was taken aback, and said half-loudly: "There are such strange rumors, it shouldn't be some ignorant charlatans full of nonsense." ”

The jade-faced fox said: "At first, Weichen also thought so, but later, Weichen took a hexagram for the emperor according to this and found that ......"

Wu Zetian was puzzled: "What did you find?" ”

The jade-faced fox bowed and said: "I found that this rumor is not untrue, Your Majesty, do you remember that when Emperor Taizong of the previous dynasty, there was a party in the capital that said that the female protagonist was in power and surnamed Wu?" ”

Wu Zetian was taken aback, and clearly recalled in his mind that he fell out of favor with Emperor Taizong because of Fang Shi's slander, and was almost given death, his face was suddenly solemn, his fists were clenched, and he said solemnly: "National teacher, what is the relationship between the two?" ”

The jade-faced fox said: "Weichen found that the two have a lot in common, if you don't deal with it well, just in case...... Your Majesty, Weichen is not afraid of 10,000, just in case. ”

Wu Zetian said angrily: "Enough, national teacher, then what do you say to do, so as to prevent problems before they happen and eliminate future troubles forever." ”

The jade-faced fox was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has calculated that these two people are now near the capital, and we can send a sea fishing proclamation to arrest everyone born in these two hours, and then find these two people among them to eliminate future troubles forever." ”

Wu Zetian hesitated and said decisively: "Okay, then do what you say the national teacher, remember, it is better to kill ten or a hundred by mistake than to let them go." ”

The jade-faced fox hurriedly bowed down and said, "Weichen obeys." ”

Wu Zetian thought for a moment and added, "Wait...... Don't move too much, so as not to disturb the people too deeply, you know? ”

The jade-faced fox said, "Obey." ”

Wu Zetian walked down and down with the support of Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi, walked to the door of the hall, looked into the distance, and said to himself: "My country is the destiny of heaven, I want to see who dares to act against the sky and snatch it." There was a hint of cold majesty in his eyes.

Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong were shocked.
