Capital.

Imperial Palace, Qianqing Palace.

Boom! Winter! Bang! Peng!

"Anti-thief! Anti-thief! ”

The sound of all kinds of smashing plates and stools resounded throughout the Qianqing Palace again, accompanied by Zhu Youzhen's roar.

"The imperial court has been raising officials for three hundred years, and it has raised a group of thieves!"

Boom! Boom!

A few more pieces of gold were smashed into the ground, smashing the tiles into small pits.

Looking at Zhu Youzhen, who was furious, Han Yi opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he closed his lips and chose to be silent.

According to the information sent back by Jinyiwei from Shandong, since the news of Su Hao's defeat of Jiang Lan spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, there have been masters from all over the country who have gone to Shandong to seek refuge in the pseudo-Qi, and there are even many masters of Jinyiwei and Weisu from all over the country.

Even if those masters of the rivers and lakes are forgotten, Daming can't control the people of the world, but those Jinyi guards and guards have undoubtedly touched Zhu Youzhen's scales, although they are basically only some third-rate martial artists, and there are few second-rate martial artists.

But since he hit the Jurchens in the Guannei, Zhu Youzhen thought from the bottom of his heart that he was the master of Zhongxing in the Ming Dynasty, and the defection of those Jinyi guards and guards was undoubtedly a ruthless big ear scraper, which made Zhu Youzhen completely lose face, which is no wonder Zhu Youzhen was so angry.

After a long time, Zhu Youzhen finally calmed down, and said with a gloomy face: "Why hasn't Yuan Chonghuan made any progress recently?" ”

Now that the puppet Qi rebels are growing, he doesn't want to wait any longer, even if he can't attack the puppet Qi now for the sake of the emperor's reputation, he must send a large army to surround Shandong, suppress the growth of the puppet Qi rebels, and when the five-year period expires, he will destroy these rebels.

However, if you want to suppress the pseudo-Qi, it is not that you can do it, now the grain of the Ming Dynasty has to pass through Shandong, and the war in Liaodong is not resolved, once Su Hao is pressed, Su Hao will blockade the Cao Yun again, then the lack of food alone will be able to drag the Ming Dynasty to death.

Therefore, Yuan Chonghuan must drive Jiannu out of Liaodong or give Jiannu another heavy blow, so that Jiannu will be difficult to recover for more than ten or twenty years, otherwise once Jiannu recovers, then he will do it in vain.

After all, although the Jiannu killed in the Guannai before were elites, the number was less than 10,000, and as long as there was time, Jiannu could completely train those ordinary soldiers into elites.

"Back to Your Majesty, the Horqin, Durbert, Guoerros and other departments in the Monan area have already colluded with Jiannu, and are constantly harassing Guangning and Ningyuan, and now Yuan Chonghuan does not dare to venture."

Han Yi replied.

"These steppe thieves!"

Hearing this, Zhu Youzhen's face was angry again, obviously solving the border trouble in eastern Liaodong was close at hand, but he didn't expect the Mongols to intervene.

After calming down a little, Zhu Youzhen said: "Order Yuan Chonghuan to find a way to solve it as soon as possible, and definitely not give Jiannu a chance to recover." ”

Han Yi arched his hand and said, "The minister obeys the order!" ”

"I still need to review the transcript, so let's go down."

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand, picked up a notebook and read it.

Seeing this scene, Han Yi sighed, and after being silent for a moment, he spoke: "Your Majesty, the minister's body has become more and more unfavorable recently, and it is difficult to continue, and he can't continue to serve the court. ”

In the past two or three months, Zhu Youzhen's attitude towards him has become more and more impatient; in addition to the reason for signing the peace agreement, there are also reasons for partisan struggle.

Zhu Youzhen also supported it at the beginning, because there were too many eunuch officials, but now the situation of the eunuch party has gotten out of control, and the officials impeach each other, and it is often the eunuch party.

Especially those officials who returned to the court after Zhu Youzhen succeeded to the throne, they even shook the banner of the eunuch party to fly, and when they did not deal with it, they would buckle the eunuch party's hat and then attack in groups, even Zhu Youzhen could not resist the general trend of the court.

And now Zhu Youzhen's attitude towards him is obviously dissatisfied with them, it is estimated that it will not be long before they will do it, and then he, the first assistant, will definitely bear the brunt, judging from Zhu Youzhen's meanness and unkindness to Wang Congyi, when Zhu Youzhen makes a move, it is estimated that he will not even be able to retreat with dignity.

Hearing Han Yi's words, Zhu Youzhen raised his head reluctantly, stared directly at Han Yi with a sharp gaze, and did not move for a long time, while Han Yi lowered his head, as if he didn't feel Zhu Youzhen's gaze.

"Han Aiqing is getting old and strong, if she is sick, she might as well recuperate for a few more days, why do you want to return so easily?"

After being silent for a long time, Zhu Youzhen spoke.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister's body and bones, the minister himself knows that it is difficult to continue, if he is forced to stay in the position of the first assistant and delay the major affairs of the court, the minister will die and be redeemed!"

Hearing this, Han Yi sighed and said, Zhu Youzhen's thoughts, he naturally knew that he wanted him to suppress the party struggle, but unfortunately even Zhu Youzhen couldn't do it, how could he do it, if he continued to stay in the cabinet, then others would only think that Zhu Youzhen still favored them and continued to intensify, he might as well leave and give those people a warning.

"I'm right."

Hearing Han Yi's words, Zhu Youzhen waved his hand helplessly.

………

The capital city of Jinan.

In the Zichen Palace, Su Hao played with the demon pill in his hand, and after Zhang Yi came to Jinan Fucheng, he gave Zhang Yi an official position of 100 households, and gave him 30,000 taels of silver, and took the demon pill into his pocket.

Although 30,000 silver is far less than the value of the demon pill, the shelter he gave Zhang Yi is priceless, if a thousand-year-old demon pill is measured in silver, it will cost at least one million taels of silver, and there is no price, after all, for people who can keep the demon pill, gold and silver are not precious things.

And for a little person like Zhang Yi, even if he gives Zhang Yi a million taels of silver, Zhang Yi can't keep it, after all, it is the original sin for a child to hold gold, even if he doesn't do it, others will also gnaw Zhang Yi clean.

"Your Majesty, the head of the Laoshan Sect is already waiting outside the hall."

At this time, an attendant walked into the temple and said respectfully.

"Xuan."

After putting the demon pill on the table, Su Hao said that if he wants to refine the demon pill into a pill, only people in Taoism have this ability, and the Laoshan faction in Shandong has this ability.

After a while, an old Taoist priest dressed in a Taoist robe and with an immortal appearance walked into the hall under the guidance of the inner attendant.

"Poor Dao Yun'anzi see His Majesty Emperor Qi!"

Yun Anzi made a bow.

"The Taoist doesn't have to be polite."

Su Hao said calmly: "I invited the Dao Master over this time, mainly because I wanted to ask the Dao Master to refine this thousand-year-old demon pill into an elixir for me. ”

After finishing speaking, Su Hao asked the chamberlain to bring the demon pill to Yun Anzi.

Tremblingly took the demon pill in the hand of the inner servant, Yun Anzi only felt that the demon pill in his hand was so hot, although he had already guessed what Su Hao invited him to do before coming to Jinan Fucheng, but when the real thing came, he still felt a headache.

Not to mention that it is extremely difficult to refine the demon pill, the risk alone is not something that their Laoshan faction can bear, refining, Daming's anger is not something their Laoshan faction can bear, and now Daqi's weakness is that there are few masters, once the pill is refined, whether it is Su Hao's promotion to the innate realm, or Daqi's emergence of a few more martial arts masters, it is enough to make Daming angry.

But if they can't practice it, Su Hao's anger is also not something that their Laoshan faction can bear, and if they are not careful, the Laoshan faction will be gone.

After being entangled for a while, Yun Anzi gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty Emperor Qi, Xiaodao's craftsmanship is not refined, and he does not dare to take on this heavy responsibility, if he damages the treasures of Emperor Qi, Xiaodao will die and will not be redeemed." ”

After finishing speaking, Yun Anzi looked at Su Hao nervously, and could only secretly pray in his heart that Su Hao could let them go of the Laoshan faction, after all, refining or failing is a dead end.

Don't look at the current Daqi seems to have a successful appearance, but he knows very well that with Shandong alone, Su Hao wants to compete with the Ming Dynasty, and there is almost no hope.

Shandong is in the land of four wars, there is no danger to defend at all, just by holding the canal can not stop the Ming Dynasty who sits on the entire Central Plains, the Ming Dynasty consumes the energy to death of the Great Qi, if he helps Su Hao refine the elixir, then once the Great Qi perishes, the Ming Dynasty will definitely not let go of the Laoshan faction.

Hearing Yun Anzi's shirk, Su Hao's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, and then he said coldly: "Yun Anzi, do you Laoshan faction think that I am too easy to talk and weak and can be bullied?" ”

"Your Majesty forgives the sin, Xiaodao will never dare to have such thoughts."

Yun Anzi didn't expect Su Hao to say this, his face suddenly turned extremely pale, and he quickly knelt on the ground.

The Laoshan faction has not been developing for a long time, and now there are not many masters of the sect, there are only four masters in the first-class realm, and there are eight second-rate masters.

"Don't dare?"

Su Hao said indifferently: "Before, I sent people to ask for exercises, and your Laoshan faction shirked it several times, and I didn't blame you, but now I just let you refine a pill, and you dare to continue to shirk, is it really bad for my sword?" ”

Before, he didn't want to ruin his reputation because of the forcible seizure of the exercises, but it didn't mean that he would let the Laoshan faction shirk, if he indulged the Laoshan faction too much, he would appear weak and bullied.

"Xiaodao doesn't dare."

Hearing Su Hao's indifferent tone, Yun Anzi kowtowed a few more times, and he could feel that if he couldn't satisfy Su Hao this time, the entire Laoshan faction might be flattened by Su Hao's anger.

"The Dan furnace and medicinal materials, I have already prepared them in the side hall, if I can't satisfy them, there will be no need for the Laoshan faction to exist."

After taking a deep look at Yun Anzi, Su Hao said slowly.

"Xiaodao understood."

Hearing Su Hao's ultimatum, Yun Anzi hurriedly responded, he knew very well that only their Laoshan faction in Shandong had the ability to refine pills, but the entire Ming Dynasty was more than that, even if they were destroyed, Su Hao could still find other Taoist masters to refine the pill.

As the saying goes, people die for money, birds die for food, as long as the price offered by Su Hao is high enough, there will be people who are willing to take risks, after all, this kind of thing does not need to be made of fanfare, and others can be modified in disguise.

After a pause, Yun Anzi continued: "Your Majesty, the attainment of the alchemy technique of the trail is limited, I don't know if Your Majesty can invite my third junior brother to come over, he has studied the pill technique for many years, and the alchemy technique is still above the trail, with his help, it can be guaranteed to be foolproof." ”

"I'll send someone."

Su Hao said calmly: "If you succeed in refining the elixir, I will not hesitate to reward. ”

He has already perfected the means of coercion and inducement, coercion has been used, and the rest is inducement.

"Xiaodao will live up to His Majesty's expectations."

Hearing Su Hao's words, Yun Anzi could only comfort himself in his heart, Su Hao would really have a heavy reward.

………

Gaizhou Acropolis.

The yamen of the guard in the center of the city had become Tang Xiangjin's residence at this time, and in the practice room in the backyard, Tang Xiangjin closed his eyes and practiced, with a layer of invisible qi churning on his body.

If there is a strong person here, he will definitely be able to come out, Tang Xiangjin at this time is at a critical moment of breakthrough, and it is also a critical moment to break through the martial arts master.

Sensing the churning internal force in his body, Tang Xiangjin carefully controlled the internal force to impact the Ren vein, constantly widening the width of the Ren vein.

After a long time, Tang Xiangjin felt that his internal force seemed to have hit an extremely hard iron wall, and it was difficult to move forward half a step, Tang Xiangjin knew that this was his last bottleneck, as long as he broke through this iron wall, the meridians of his whole body would be completely unblocked, and he would be promoted to martial arts master.

After brewing for a long time, Tang Xiang's golden teeth bitten, urging a large amount of internal force to crash towards the bottleneck.

Rumble!

The internal force hit the bottleneck, Tang Xiangjin only felt that the pain was unbearable, but he did not stop, but endured the severe pain, controlling the internal force to impact the bottleneck again and again, he knew very well that if he was not successful this time, he would have to start again next time, and it would be more difficult.

Once, twice, three times.........

Just when Tang Xiangjin was about to be tortured by severe pain to the point of losing his mind, the internal force seemed to break through some kind of restriction and enter a broader space.

Yes!

At this moment, Tang Xiangjin excitedly raised his head to the sky and roared.

Tang Xiangjin's howling suddenly alarmed Wang Lian and the others not far away, and immediately several figures rushed towards the backyard where Tang Xiangjin was.

When he came to the backyard, Tang Xiangjin happened to walk out of the practice room.

"Tang Dudu, I don't know if there is an enemy attacking?"

Seeing that although Tang Xiangjin's face was a little pale, he was neatly dressed, not like he had fought a big battle, Wang Lian couldn't help but wonder.

"You're worried that Tang just happened to have a breakthrough and was impulsive."

Tang Xiangjin said with a smile on his face.

Breakthrough?

Hearing Tang Xiangjin's words, Wang Lian and the others were stunned, but then they reacted, Tang Xiangjin had already broken through the martial arts master, after all, if he only broke through a certain meridian, Tang Xiangjin would definitely not be excited to this extent.

"Congratulations to Tang Dudu!"

Wang Lian congratulated with envy, he is also a first-class martial artist, and it has been seven or eight years since he broke through, but unfortunately he lacks resources, and he has only opened up the three veins in seven or eight years, and he is still far away from the martial arts master.

Although his current body of medicine poison has not reached the point where it is too serious, he no longer dares to use ordinary treasure medicines, and thousand-year-level treasure medicines are too rare, and he has no chance to get them, so he can only rely on time to slowly precipitate.
