Zhang Meng gritted his teeth when he talked about Zhang Xuan.

In the past few months after Yang Sheng left, Zhang Xuansu completely let himself go in the capital, wantonly grabbed money and power, and the entire capital was turned upside down by him.

First of all, he pulled the household department Shangshu to his side, raised taxes in the capital, and even collected taxes when people went to the thatched houses outside.

There are also small merchants and hawkers on the streets, as long as they appear on the streets of the capital, all businesses are taxed.

Zhang Xuansu had also incorporated a part of the Wuwei army before, so he even told the emperor that his family must use his own army to be insured, so he drove the forbidden army of Zhenwutang to patrol the streets, and he took over the defense of the capital, resulting in the need to pay money to enter the capital now.

If you don't want to queue up to pay the money, then you have to go to the household department to issue a certificate, and you have to pay the same money.

In short, in the past few months, the capital has been completely looted by Zhang Xuansu, and many ordinary people have even begun to flee the capital.

You must know that this is the capital of the Great Zhou, the most prosperous location of the entire Great Zhou.

It can be said that even if you ask for food in the capital, your life is more nourishing than the outside world.

Zhang Xuansu was able to force the people of the capital to go to the outside world, which can be regarded as a skill.

"Zhang Xuansu died like this, did His Majesty allow it? And Taishi Cai didn't react? ”

Zhang Meng said with a look of grievance: "Zhang Xuansu wants to compete with me for power in Zhenwutang, of course we don't obey, but His Majesty personally called us to reprimand us, and if you are not there, we can't do anything."

Of course, Taishi Cai was even more angry, because there were many people in the household department who were his, but Zhang Xuansu took the household department in his hands, and he directly cut off a large amount of financial resources.

But Taishi Cai also has no choice, Zhang Xuansu has His Majesty behind him, and a lot of the money he managed to get was to build a palace for His Majesty, draft girls, and wait for His Majesty with a smile.

So in the end, Taishi Cai also endured it, and now he even says that he is sick and can't go to court. ”

Yang Sheng raised his eyebrows, shook his head and said, "This old fox." ”

Taishi Cai ran for half his life, and half of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were his henchmen.

As long as Taishi Cai really wants to deal with Zhang Xuansu and directly mobilize those ministers under his command above the court, the entire Great Zhou court will be directly paralyzed.

As a result, Taishi Cai actually confessed, it was obvious that he knew that Zhang Xuansu had obviously offended himself now, so it was better to bear it for the time being, and when he came back, he would definitely teach this Zhang Xuansu a lesson.

"Hahaha, the old man congratulates the Metropolitan Governor for stepping on the rivers and lakes and returning triumphantly."

They were talking about Taishi Cai here, and Taishi Cai over there had obviously gotten the news and brought Yuwendu over to greet Yang Sheng.

Yang Sheng shook his head and said, "Triumphant? I was almost stopped at the door and couldn't even enter the capital, so there was such a triumphant return?

I said Taishi Cai, Zhang Xuansu is making such a fuss in the capital, you don't care? ”

Taishi Cai smiled bitterly and said: "Governor, I want to take care of it, but the problem is that once I take care of it, I am making enemies of Your Majesty and competing with Your Majesty."

I don't want to rebel as a courtier, once I use my connections to force Your Majesty, it can indeed temporarily paralyze the court and put Zhang Xuansu in a dilemma.

But what about the consequences? The consequence is that I am disgusted by His Majesty, and it is even difficult for me to die well.

I'm just an ordinary person, it's easy for Your Majesty to kill me, if it doesn't work once, then a second time, I really can't stop it.

But most of the governors are different from you, your strength, your foundation are your confidence.

Now that the entire Great Zhou Force is in the hands of the Metropolitan Governor, only you are qualified to confront Your Majesty.

So the old man didn't deliberately show weakness and wait for the governor to come back to solve these problems, but he was really afraid of death, and he was really reluctant to be rich and noble. ”

Taishi Cai said so sincerely, Yang Sheng didn't want to be weird with him anymore.

Nowadays, in the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the role of force is getting bigger and bigger, and Cai Taishi, the head of civil officials, is indeed less important than three years ago.

Yang Sheng said lightly: "Da Zhou is not just their own Da Zhou, let them toss for the time being, and then solve them when I have time to spare." ”

No matter how much Zhang Xuansu can toss, in Yang Sheng's opinion, he is like an ant, he can be pressed to death at any time.

It's just that before the critical moment, Yang Sheng didn't want Da Zhou to be completely chaotic.

Solving the Golden Horde and the Northland Jurchen requires the power of the Great Zhou, so this is the reason why Yang Sheng did not directly kill these idiots.

Now that he is back, if Zhang Xuansu doesn't know what to do, he will have to think about really cleaning up the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Of course, these things are insignificant to Yang Sheng now, and after coming back, Yang Sheng did not go back to Zhenwutang first, but went to Zhou Yan's Scripture Pavilion for the first time.

In the Scripture Pavilion, Zhou Yan sat in the center of a circle of tables, surrounded by exercises and various drafts written by himself.

However, Zhou Yan's state at this time was not very good.

Originally, although he was a wasted person, he was strong and energetic.

Now it is some qi and blood decay, and even the spirit has become sluggish.

Yang Sheng was suddenly startled, and hurriedly said, "Senior Zhou, what's wrong with you?" ”

Zhou Yan looked at Yang Sheng with a wry smile: "The Metropolitan Governor is back, and the old man seems to be about to bear the trust of the Metropolitan Governor."

I originally thought that with the Mixed Yuan Xuangong as the base, as long as there were high-level exercises, I could completely fill it to perfection.

But in the past, I was sitting in a well and watching the sky, and there were some key parts of those top exercises on the rivers and lakes that even I couldn't understand.

For example, the Xuanyuan family's Emperor Xuanming Treasure Record, the Xuanzhen Daomen's Huangting Avenue View, etc., each one is more profound and mysterious.

After breaking it into the Mixed Yuan Xuangong, it always felt awkward in some places.

So far, most of the Metropolitan Governor's exercises have been collected, but I haven't even made a tenth of the progress of this exercise. ”

Zhou Yan was a little guilty at this time.

It was he who boasted that as long as he had these top-notch exercises as the foundation, he would be able to fill the Mixed Yuan Xuangong to the point of perfection.

As a result, now Yang Sheng is stepping on the rivers and lakes, making a big fuss about the martial arts conference, killing the entire rivers and lakes, and getting the top exercises of all the big factions to him in one go, which is something that Zhou Yan himself didn't dare to imagine before.

As a result, I didn't expect it to come to an end, but I pulled it by myself, and there was a problem in the first step.

Yang Sheng shook his head and said: "The Mixed Yuan Xuangong is close to the source of strength, and the exercises of these great sects are not weak, of course you will feel struggling, seniors."

You can't do it now, I'm afraid that if you continue to survive, you will lose your original qi and blood, so I will go and order Zhang Jinglin to come over and refine some pills for you to recuperate your body.

As for what you said about the conflict between the exercises, I have one thing here, and I don't know if I can use it. ”

Saying that, Yang Sheng gave Zhou Yan his side quest reward Martial Arts General Outline.

Zhou Yan rolled his eyes twice, but his eyes instantly lit up, and his eyes showed a look of shock.

Who wrote this book? It is simply written clearly and clearly all the system changes in the martial arts lineage.

To be able to write this book, I am afraid that it will take thousands of exercises to be able to do it.

With this general outline of martial arts, this time the old man can boast of Haikou, and within a month, he will definitely help the Metropolitan Governor to complete this mixed yuan Xuangong! ”

Yang Sheng said: "This is not in a hurry, senior, you must take a rest now, and only after Imperial Doctor Zhang is sure that your body is fine, you can continue to complete these exercises." ”

Zhou Yan is a real baby now.

He collected so many exercises by himself, and pressed the general outline of martial arts, just for the perfect mixed yuan Xuangong that reached the extreme of power in his mouth.

So he can't have anything, once Zhou Yan has a problem, then everything will fall short.

Yang Sheng himself had a hunch that as long as Zhou Yan could complete this Mixed Yuan Xuangong, he should be able to rely on it and step into the Liuhe realm.

After letting Zhou Yan rest first, Yang Sheng returned to Zhenwutang to rest for a day and dealt with some of the backlog of affairs in Zhenwutang.

The next day, a decree came from the palace, saying that His Majesty had specially set up a banquet to celebrate Yang Sheng's suppression of the rivers and lakes and his triumphant return.

Yang Sheng also discovered that this emperor Zhou Yuan's favorite thing was to set up banquets.

Not only did Yang Sheng triumphantly set up a banquet, but during the time when Yang Sheng left the capital, he always found an opportunity to set up a banquet.

And now it's a garden cultivator and a draft girl, and she seems to have a lot of fun and experiences the fun of being an emperor.

In fact, when he first became the emperor, there were internal and external troubles, the White Lotus Sect rebelled, and the thirty-six giant Kou plagued the Central Plains.

Now, the internal and external troubles have subsided, and Zhou Yuan can finally take a breath of relief, plus Zhang Xuansu has collected money for him, this Zhou Yuan is naturally relaxed and begins to experience the fun of the emperor.

Originally, Yang Sheng didn't want to participate in this kind of boring banquet, but Zhang Xuansu was a little too arrogant, and he even dared to stretch out his hand to Zhenwutang, and he should be taught a lesson.

So the next day, Yang Sheng also came to the palace as usual.

However, after coming to the palace, Yang Sheng frowned slightly, because he found that the palace guards had also changed.

The Ouchi guards in the palace were all trained in the Zhenwu Hall, although some Yang Sheng had never said a word to them, but with Yang Sheng's memory, he could remember their appearance as long as he glanced at them.

But today, these Ouchi guards are all new faces, and the aura on their bodies is also different from those Ouchi guards who have practiced in the Zhenwu Hall.

At this time, Taishi Cai also took Yuwendu into the palace from the rear, and after seeing Yang Sheng, Taishi Cai said in a low voice: "Governor, wait and be careful."

This celebration of your triumph was proposed by Zhang Xuansu on his own initiative, and he also handled it himself, without even going through the hands of outsiders.

I always feel that something is wrong with this thing, Zhang Xuansu is very small-minded, how could he suddenly think of organizing a banquet for you to celebrate the triumph? ”
