Prime Minister Yuan Hongli was a veteran of the two dynasties, and he was also recognized as a capable minister.

After the death of the first emperor, it was Yuan Hongli who assisted Jingwu Tianzi to smoothly control the court and complete the transition.

It's just that since Jingwu Tianzi came into power, this old man has gradually given up the power in his hands and is in a state of half-hiding and half-retiring.

In Zhang Jian's opinion, this old man is extremely wise, and his retreat avoided the head-on conflict with Jingwu Tianzi.

After Jingwu Tianzi succeeded to the throne, he was energetic, young and vigorous, but he was diligent in government affairs.

The existence of the prime minister is to share political affairs, and now Jingwu Tianzi is hardworking, if the prime minister shows his presence everywhere, it will inevitably be conflicted.

The more diligent and serious the emperor, the more important the power is.

Zhang Jian and Yuan Hongli, the old prime minister, do not have much intersection, what they have is the imperial historian, the director of the imperial history platform, Zhuang Ying.

But Zhang Jian also knew that as soon as Yuan Hongli went, there was a missing Dinghai God Needle in the court.

……

Midsummer in the twelfth year of Jingwu

Yuan Hongli, a virtuous minister of the Great Qian, died of illness, and the sky was like fire, and countless meteors fell from the sky, which was considered a bad omen by Qin Tiantai.

In the same year, Li Yan, the court commander, succeeded Yuan Hongli as prime minister.

The court lieutenant is temporarily replaced by the court lieutenant Cheng Wang Juan.

The political situation in the DPRK and China has changed, and Zhang Jian can clearly feel that the previously stable and clear situation in the DPRK is gone.

Prime Minister Li Yan has been in charge of the court lieutenant office for many years, although he is a profound and talented, but he is not without opponents, many important ministers in the court think that he is a cool official, Jingwu Tianzi appointed the court lieutenant to take over the phase at this time, and many important ministers are extremely opposed.

Inside the Jingtai Palace

Jingwu Tianzi had a short beard slightly, dressed in a dark yellow regular robe, and his face was a little tired.

First, the most favored princess was robbed by thieves, and then he lost the old prime minister, the emperor, and the old problem of Jingwu Tianzi feeling a headache recurred.

He didn't know if it was right or wrong to choose to let these courtiers help him share the dragon vein backlash.

He believes that the departure of the old prime minister Yuan Hongli is related to the dragon vein backlash.

Otherwise, some time ago, I heard that the old prime minister can move around and is healthy, not to mention that he also instructed the Taoist of the cave god temple to refine the pill and diagnose and treat the old prime minister.

With a depressed heart, Jingwu Tianzi put down the mountains of twists and turns in front of the table.

The thought in his heart turned, and he unconsciously walked out of the Jingtai Palace.

In the harem, it was also much quieter at this time.

Many palace people knew that Jingwu Tianzi had lost Princess Baihua, and they were unhappy in their hearts, so they didn't dare to speak out loud, so as not to incur reprimands.

He wanted to enter the Yuxiu Palace to relax, but then he thought of Concubine Liu Xian, who had lost his eldest daughter, and after hesitating slightly, he stepped into the Palace of Compassion instead.

The Palace of Compassion is the residence of the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager is the queen of Emperor Wen's main palace, and this queen was also extremely strong when she was young, but when she reached middle age, she fell in love with cultivation.

During this time, he has been asking several Kun Dao from the royal family of the Cave God Sect for advice on the method of health preservation, but it has invisibly reduced a lot of trouble for Jingwu Tianzi.

In the Palace of Compassion, the Empress Dowager learned that the dragon of Jingwu Tianzi had arrived at the door, and immediately introduced Jingwu Tianzi into the palace with the palace people close to her.

"It seems that the departure of the emperor makes the emperor feel uncomfortable! Otherwise, it would be difficult for the arrogant prince of the mourning family to step into the mercy palace of the mourning family! ”

Hearing this, the Dongjue Daoist shook his head lightly and said.

"This matter still needs the Queen Mother's careful guidance, but after the establishment of the matter, please also ask the Queen Mother and Your Majesty to consider carefully, if you can do a good job in the matter of the future, win over that person, maybe you can attract a strong reinforcement for Your Majesty!"

The Queen Mother nodded. "The mourning family will do it, and I have to thank Dong Jue Zhenren for his guidance in this matter!"

"I can't afford to be called a real person!"

The King of the Cave Jue Dao got up from his seat at this time and just said with a smile.

"But this palace is also from the royal family, so I can't watch the turmoil of the Great Qiankun Society!"

With the dust in her hand, her figure gradually disappeared into the Palace of Compassion in one step.

Looking at the free and easy of the Dongjue Daoist, the queen mother's eyes moved slightly, and there was a hint of envy in her eyes.

"Queen Mother!"

After entering the Compassion Palace, Jingwu Tianzi just said a word, and sat down on the side.

He noticed that there was another teacup in the main hall at this time, and there were still some traces that had not been actively wiped off.

"In the mother's harem, are there any guests just now?"

Empress Dowager Li bowed slightly.

"Dong Jue has really come here, and he is just giving a lecture for the mourning family!"

She looked at Jingwu Tianzi with some concern.

"The emperor hasn't rested well during this time, why is he so haggard?"

Hearing this, Jingwu Tianzi shook his head slightly.

"Master Yuan is gone, I always feel depressed in my heart, I originally thought of walking in the palace, walking and walking is to come to the mother's harem, or let me relax here!"

At this time, he closed his eyes and showed a relaxed smile on his face, and the Empress Dowager Li immediately motioned to the palace maid next to her to step forward and gently knead it for Jingwu Tianzi.

At the same time, another elderly mother-in-law next to him ordered someone to serve fragrant tea, and brought a small stove to light the incense.

After a while, Jingwu Tianzi opened his eyes, he looked at the concerned look of Empress Dowager Li next to him, and couldn't help but smile.

"It's really the queen mother, it's comfortable here!"

These words made Empress Dowager Li's face also bring a trace of joy, and she looked at Jingwu Tianzi more and more distressed.

Although the mother and son are not related by blood, the attitude of Jingwu Tianzi still makes her very ironed.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Empress Dowager Li said again.

"Emperor, you are now in the age of establishment, and you should consider establishing a queen!"

"You need a virtuous queen to help you sit in the middle palace, and she can also share some of the chores of the harem for you! Although Concubine Chen is a good one, she is not the queen of the Middle Palace after all, and she cannot replace the queen of the Middle Palace! ”

Hearing this, Jingwu Tianzi was a little vigilant in his heart, and he shook his head and said.

"Queen Mother, the phoenix girl is not out, I don't want to be a queen!"

Empress Dowager Li was not surprised to see Jingwu Tianzi directly refuse, she said.

"Emperor, the mourning family knows that you are not happy, you are still thinking about the short-lived phoenix girl a few years ago, but the woman with the phoenix life itself is extremely difficult to find, and we don't know her age, identity, and temperament!"

"At present, the establishment of the queen of the middle palace is conducive to His Majesty's stability of the court!"

"The omen in Tanglin, the mourning family has also heard of it, and at this time, the queen can also share part of the 'pressure' for His Majesty!"

Empress Dowager Li made a pun.

Hearing this, Jingwu Tianzi frowned, this time he finally did not insist on objecting.

But Jingwu Tianzi has no regrets in his heart at the moment, the previous emperors have never been able to find Feng Nu as the queen, and in his hands, he still missed Feng Nu, how can it not be regretted.

Jingwu Tianzi said at this time: "I don't know if there is a candidate for the Middle Palace in the mother's mind?" ”

Seeing that the Son of Heaven heard this, Empress Dowager Li was also slightly happy in her heart, and she took the opportunity to say.

"Fang Jue has really been here, and she has proposed a candidate for the mourning family, you may want to consider one or two!"

"What does Aunt Zu mean? That's a rarity! ”

Jingwu Tianzi didn't care, just asked casually.

"Queen Mother, who is it?"

Empress Dowager Li said: "God Weibo's granddaughter, Qi Yuzhu! ”

"God Wilber, the granddaughter of an earl's family?"

Jingwu Tianzi put down the tribute tea in his hand and frowned tightly, he still had some impressions of this god Weber.

Shen Weibo Qi Yi was one of the old ministers who quelled the rebellion of the Xuandu Sect in Shanyang County, when Yang Gonghu was the main general and Qi Yi was the deputy general, and the two old ministers made great contributions to the imperial court.

He was happy for a moment, and he was ready to leave Qi Yi in the Praetorian Guard of the Pickaxe Capital to help him re-temper this special noble soldier, and at the same time promote him to a first-class Shenwei general.

As a result, the veteran not only refused his reward, but also directly disarmed and returned to the field, he was angry at the time, but unfortunately he failed to keep the veteran repeatedly.

As a last resort, he could only be gracious again and named him God Weibo, so as to reward this old minister, and also buy horse bones.

It's just that Jingwu Tianzi remembers clearly, although the Qi family has some influence in the army, it is far from being the first echelon of martial arts.

The first echelon of the martial arts in the Great Qian Dynasty is the Wang family where Taiwei Wang Huan is located, the Song family where the Marquis of Dingyuan is located, and the Gu family where the Marquis of Hancheng is located, the Duanmu family where the Marquis of Zhenbei is located, and the Xu family where the Marquis of Yubei is located.

These three princes and nine kings have produced more than one.

However, the Great Qianzu system did not say that the non-family was not closed, on the contrary, it greatly encouraged the future generations of the Son of Heaven to choose queens from the people and even the local scholars.

Jingwu Tianzi felt a little strange in his heart, and he asked directly.

"Queen Mother, why did Aunt Zu recommend the daughter of the Qi family as the queen, but what kind of relationship do you have with this Qi family?"

Jingwu Tianzi didn't hide these things, but although he didn't show it, the hesitation in his eyes still fell into the eyes of Empress Dowager Li.

The Empress Dowager took in the look of Jingwu Tianzi in her eyes, and she frowned slightly.

Although the emperor is not her biological son, she still knows the emperor's temperament after getting along for a long time.

The Son of Heaven is domineering and suspicious, and he also has it.

But she didn't care.

Because she knew that although Jingwu Tianzi didn't like people to interfere with his choice, he would weigh the pros and cons.

Just like when competing for the crown prince, King Rui, King Han, and King Zheng were so strong back then, who would have thought that today's Son of Heaven would finally be able to stand out among the princes.

Because he is good at forbearance, he is even more able to weigh.

As long as it is beneficial to himself, even if he doesn't like it in his heart, he will press it down.

"Because Bachelor Zhang's wife is the second daughter of the Qi family!"

"Qi Yuzhu is really the sister of his wife Xiao Zhang Qi!"

"This can still have something to do with Bachelor Zhang?!"

Jingwu Tianzi was a little embarrassed, he shook his head and said: "Queen Mother, although Mr. Zhang has a heroic and righteous spirit, but in the end he is still my great minister, even if I value it, there is no need to be a brother-in-law with him!" ”

Jingwu Tianzi didn't care.

In his opinion, the Dongjue Daoist is making a bit of a fuss.

When Empress Dowager Li saw Jingwu Tianzi's expression, she secretly knew in her heart, in fact, she guessed Jingwu Tianzi's refusal.

Jingwu Tianzi himself is also extremely proud, if it weren't for this, he would not have never been a queen.

Even if this matter is said tactfully, it will still give rise to resistance.

Empress Dowager Li pondered for a moment, but said.

"Zhang was born with great talents, and Dong Jue Zhenren also mentioned that he has great hopes of becoming a sage in the future, not to mention that he is still a cultivator, and several elders of the cave god view have said that his way and deeds are profound, and his future achievements will not be weaker than that of the Jade Sage, if he is taken advantage of, it is a pity!"

When Jingwu Tianzi heard this, his eyes fluctuated, just said.

"Since ancient times, only courtiers have curry favor with the Son of Heaven, how can the Son of Heaven go to curry favor with a courtier!"

"Even the sages are still my subjects!"

Seeing Jingwu Tianzi's expression, Empress Dowager Li nodded with a slight smile, but she had an idea in her heart.

In fact, Jingwu Tianzi did not have such a 'refusal' on his face!

……

In the Champion Mansion, Zhang Jian used the Heaven and Earth Xuanmen to return to Tongshan Demon Slaying Peak, relying on the authority of the Yin God Venerable, as well as his own contribution to the sect, he obtained the universal rune book of the runes outside the realm, and he was not hindered.

With that out-of-bounds rune, Zhang Jian was contemplating enlightenment.

In fact, the general runes that circulated today are closely related to the runes he exchanged for.

The general rune was modified by an ancient sage in the cultivation world for tens of thousands of years, and many strong people improved it later.

In fact, there are not only human sages among the mundane, but also sages in the cultivation world.

It is also the way of education.

Only now that the cultivation world has gradually stepped out of the ignorant practice ideas, and all kinds of innovative techniques and ideological trends have come to the fore.

And carefully studying this book of runes, Zhang Jian also faintly knew that the runes written in the "Golden Crow True Scripture" in his hand were mainly ancient Yin scripts.

Ancient Yin Scripts are rumored to be derived from the Turbidity Yin Scripts.

At the beginning of the formation of the universal runes that are now circulating in heaven and earth, it is rumored that some of the mysteries of ancient yin scripts were also adopted.

As long as you find common ground, there are still traces to follow.

……

It took Zhang Jian more than half a month to gradually grasp the magic of this ancient Yin script.

The "Golden Crow Sutra" does contain some of the rules and wonders of the operation of the true fire of the sun.

However, after careful contemplation, Zhang Jian could only sigh that there are all kinds of powerful supernatural powers in this, and I am afraid that only a few special innate Dao bodies, such as the Golden Crow Dao Body, the Burning Sun Dao Body, the Nine Yang Dao Body, and other rumored innate physiques can be cultivated.

Because all the spells inside have several prerequisites, one is to resonate with the true fire of the sun.

The true fire of the sun is so terrifying, it resonates with the sun, and if you are not careful, you will be burned dry of qi and blood.

The second is to lead the sun into the heart, and at the same time, it is necessary to condense the golden black law into the heart and continue to refine the gods.

Golden Crow refining God, how fierce it is.

How could it be that ordinary immortal cultivators could bear it.

Unless you have the bloodline of a fire divine beast like the Golden Crow.

However, Zhang Jian felt that he could give it a try.

Although he does not have extreme Dao bodies such as the Nine Yang Dao Body and the Golden Crow Dao Body, he also has the acquired Pure Yang Dao Body, followed by the Yin God materialization, which can withstand the tempering of the Golden Crow Refining God.

If possible, this may be one of the few methods that can help him refine the essence of the Yin God.

Of course, he can also use this to cultivate the golden crow phase, comprehend the true meaning of the extreme yang, and then turn from the extreme yang to the yang and yin, and comprehend the true meaning of yin and yang.

Having made up his mind, Zhang Jian did not act recklessly, but turned back to the Tongshan Dao System again, and used his authority to call a batch of elixirs that could heal injuries or neutralize the true fire poison of the sun in the Demon Slaying Peak.

This is to prevent the true fire of the sun from burning the body, and then the gain outweighs the loss.

But Zhang Jian soon realized that he was too worried.

Morning refinement
