Chapter 121: Arrive in the capital

Last time, after urging the carpenter to loot hundreds of thousands of taels of gold from the hands of the "Four Protectors", he suddenly thought that he could buy prisoners of war to collect yang and replenish yin for his wives and daughters.

"Apprentice, you can go to the palace now to say hello to your brother-in-law Empress Zhou, and say that you are willing to go to the front line to participate in the war, but the premise is that you must agree to buy a large number of prisoners of war for the teacher at a suitable price." Seeing that Zhu Youxiao was still chatting with the three seniors, the carpenter used his divine sense to remind.

"Master, you want to buy prisoners of war in large quantities? It's not going to give them back their freedom, is it? Zhu Youxiao was very curious after hearing this: "Prisoners of war are usually released. ”

"Hmph, shoveling grass does not remove the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows!" The carpenter said angrily: "Go and tell your brother and daughter-in-law that you agree to sell the prisoners of war cheaply, so that I can pay a deposit in advance, and pre-order them according to one or two pieces of silver for each prisoner of war, and after your junior sisters go to the front line and carefully count, I will make up the difference according to the actual number of living people." ”

"Huh? Master? Why do you want to let the juniors go to the front? Since ancient times, women have not been allowed to join the army, right? Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but be shocked after hearing this.

"Hmph, what do you think about all day, you elm head? Are you still thinking about your carpentry work? The carpenter said angrily: "Let me tell you the truth, your junior sisters are practicing 'demon arts', and you are practicing 'ghost path', although the 'way of demons' can become immortals, but the process is extremely difficult, unless you take shortcuts." ”

"Taking shortcuts? Master, what do you mean ...... "β€”β€”β€”β€”" Remember, isn't there "Soul Devouring Immortal Skill" and "Soul Swallowing Ghost Skill" in the 'Ghost Path' that was passed on to your teacher? If you don't devour a lot of souls and ghosts, how can you advance quickly? Without a large number of corpses, how can you practice the "Sea of Corpses Technique"? ”

"Oh, I see! Dare to ask Master, is "Corpse Sea Murder" very powerful? "β€”β€”β€”β€”" Of course it's amazing! It's amazing! ”

"That's good. But...... Why do they have to go to the front line? "β€”β€”β€”β€”" If you want to practice demon law, of course you have to use prisoners of war to collect yang and supplement yin? ”

"Oh? What 'demon law' is so powerful? Can it consume a large number of prisoners of war? After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao was surprised: "Will this cause evil?" ”

"Iniquity? What iniquity? The carpenter said angrily: "In the eyes of cultivators, mortals are like ants, their lifespan is only a hundred years, and the longer they live, the more they will suffer, so it is better to let them hand over their bodies and souls for us to cultivate, so that our skills can be greatly increased, advance quickly, live forever, and make full use of resources." ”

"Huh? This...... Will this be hostile to other cultivation forces? Covert filibustering? No matter how confused Zhu Youxiao was, he knew that doing so would hurt Tianhe.

"Haha, don't worry, it's a matter of time before you are thwarted." The carpenter smiled: "Therefore, the teacher decided to arrange for the Colorful Butterfly Fairy to go to the front line with you first, and after a period of time, when the conditions are ripe, the teacher will let the other three 'Dharma protectors' also go to your side to protect you secretly, how about it?" ”

"Uh...... In that case, the disciple was relieved. Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said: "What kind of 'demon method' are the junior sisters learning, and they can actually pick yang and supplement yin?" ”

"Hehe, that is the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill" and "Dream Relic Dafa" that your master and mother got from a certain 'Yuanying Zhenjun' in the 'Mandarin Duck Butterfly Valley' on the way to Beijing." The carpenter smiled and said, "This exercise can only be practiced by women." Of course, if you want your concubines to cultivate, you can do that. ”

"Huh? But...... But the concubines of the apprentices are now living in symbiosis with the apprentices, rotating day and night, how can they still collect yang and supplement yin? After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but feel disgusted and said: "Besides, when I think of my body being like countless men, I feel nauseous and want to vomit, and my scalp is numb!" ”

"Haha, therefore, for the sake of the teacher, I recommend that you major in the 'Ghost Dao', and as long as you cultivate the 'Corpse Sea Monstrous Technique' to the fullest, you can properly split the divine soul and parasitize it to make a 'substitute puppet' through the 'Distraction and Mind Dafa', which can block the catastrophe and eliminate disasters when you cross the catastrophe, or bury yourself deep underground to cultivate into an earth immortal."

"Earth Immortals? What is that? Zhu Youxiao wondered. β€”β€”β€”β€”" is the 'thousand-year-old zombie' or '10,000-year-old corpse'. The carpenter frowned and said, "Take 10,000 steps back, in case you fail to cross the tribulation and the main soul is wiped out, can you continue to cultivate into a 'corpse dissecting immortal' with these soul-splitting 'corpse demons'?" ”

'What?' Autopsy Immortal'? This...... Really? "β€”β€”β€”β€”" is true! Otherwise, why do you want to pass on "Ten Thousand Souls Immortal Gong" as a teacher? ”

"Oh? "Ten Thousand Souls Immortal"? This ...... "β€”β€”β€”β€”" don't do this and that, only "Ten Thousand Souls Immortal Gong" and "Corpse Sea Healing" match! ”

"Oh, okay, since you have said so, Master, then the apprentice will enter the palace now, and by the way, tell my brother and daughter-in-law about the sale of prisoners of war, hehe."

"Go, go, go, hurry up! Don't grind and chirp like a? No wonder you kid is always bullied by women, it won't work in the long run! ”

"Uh...... The master is above, the three seniors, and the juniors suddenly remembered that the junior sisters were about to go to the capital, so they had to hurry up to greet them, so they had to miss the company! Take care, Master! Three seniors, take care! Zhu Youxiao was still talking and laughing with the three "Dharma Protectors", but after the transmission of his divine consciousness was over, he hurriedly found an excuse to slip away.

"Haha/quack/hehe, the child can be taught! Hurry up and go. Seeing that Zhu Youxiao was so "sensible", the three "Dharma Protector Seniors" couldn't help but be overjoyed, after all, the other party was the "Golden Wood Miscellaneous Spiritual Root", that is, the "Earth Spiritual Root", and the "Three Elements Miscellaneous Spiritual Root" whose cultivation qualifications far surpassed that of themselves and others, had a bright future in the future, and they had to get closer to each other.

And the carpenter just nodded, still meditating on his knees and refining qi, thinking that if he was hit by Lao Tzu's "psychic seal", he didn't want to escape!

I saw that after Zhu Youxiao bowed down and saluted, his heart moved, and he directly turned into light and drilled into the bottom, but he used the earth escape technique to leave, and the target was directed at the palace. Because in the past few days, the master and the master have taken turns to teach the Fa, and under the effect of the "through" and "through the mysterious" spells, the skills have gradually increased, so the escape technique has accelerated a lot.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhu Youxiao borrowed the soil to escape to the underground of the Forbidden City, and when he was about to drill out of the ground, suddenly after scanning his divine sense, he found that there was a faint mana fluctuation on the way through the "Ministry of Officials", so he thought to himself that there was a "cultivator" who used his means to sneak into the palace? No, we have to check it out.

So, Zhu Youxiao continued to pinch the trick and chant the mantra, and then performed the "invisibility" and "cuteness" of the "Seventy-two Techniques of the Left Path of the Side Door", intending to reconnoiter after approaching.

In ancient times, the "Three Provinces and Six Ministries System" implemented from the Sui and Tang dynasties continued until the end of the Ming Dynasty. The "three provinces" refer to "Zhongshu Province", "Menxia Province" and "Shangshu Province". The "six departments" refer to the "Ministry of Officials", "Ministry of Households", "Ministry of Rites", "Ministry of Industry", "Ministry of Crime" and "Ministry of War" under the "Shangshu Province". The "six departments" of this subdivision mainly control the formulation of imperial decrees and policies, and review and implement them.

Compared with the "Three Princes and Nine Ministers" system since the Qin and Han dynasties, which gradually ossified and lost its vitality in the later period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the "Three Provinces and Six Ministries System" that emerged in the Sui and Tang dynasties has greater advantages. Not only is the division of labor of the "six departments" clear and more efficient, but also the "three provinces" also have a clear division of labor, such as the "Zhongshu Province" is responsible for drafting and promulgating the emperor's edicts; The "Ministry of Menxia" is responsible for reviewing government decrees; The "Shangshu Province" was responsible for the implementation of imperial decrees. The responsibilities of the three provinces are clear, and the efficiency of work has been improved.

At the same time, the "three provinces" also supervised and restrained each other, for example, if the emperor's edicts and decrees promulgated by the "Zhongshu Province" were found to be inconsistent with the emperor's will or were not feasible, they would be rejected according to law. The "Shangshu Province" is only responsible for enforcing the decree, and does not care whether the decree is problematic or not, because it has no other rights. Such a strict organizational structure of the regime makes it possible to supervise and contain each other, and better serve the imperial power.

Therefore, the "three provinces" dispersed the "prime minister's power" and concentrated the "imperial power", so that the "prime minister" could not easily threaten the "emperor Laozi" in terms of power. At the same time, the "Emperor Laozi" also split the power of the "Shangshu Province" into the "Ministry of Industry", "Criminal Department", "Military Department", "Ministry of Officials", "Ministry of Households", and "Ministry of Officials" to strengthen the imperial power.

In the Ming Dynasty, the "Ministry of Officials" was also known as the "Heavenly Official", which was in charge of the appointment and dismissal, examination of courses, promotion, transfer, and awarding of "civil officials" across the country; The "household department", also known as the "local official", is in charge of the country's land, household registration, taxation, currency, official income, fiscal revenue and expenditure, and other affairs; The "Ministry of Rites", also known as the "Spring Official", is in charge of the country's rules and regulations, rituals, schools, imperial examinations, ethnic minority affairs, cultural exchanges and foreign affairs activities.

The "Military Department", also known as the "Xia Guan", is in charge of the selection of military attachΓ©s and the affairs of military registration, ordnance, military orders, troops, and post stations; The "Criminal Department", also known as the "Autumn Official", means "settling accounts after the autumn", and is in charge of the country's laws, regulations, criminal prisons, litigation, judicial and other affairs; The "Ministry of Industry", also known as the "Winter Official", is in charge of various national projects, craftsmen, tuntian, water conservancy, transportation, infrastructure and other government decrees.

However, the "Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty" due to the huge amount of work, which took a long time to work, was only made by the emperor after several setbacks, and decided to let the "Ministry of War", "Ministry of Industry" and "Ministry of Households" be jointly responsible for the construction to resist the invasion of the northern nomads.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao had already dived into the depths of the "Ministry of Officials", and after slowly releasing his spiritual power, he found that the mana fluctuations in the field actually came from three girls, who were only fourteen or fifteen years old, although their appearance was not very beautiful, but they looked very much like the master and the master. Next to him stood Lu Zhongdian.
