"Patriarch Fang, don't say that the master of this Dao has the ambition of others, and destroy his own prestige."

Indifferent words came from Ji Qingzhi's covered face, "The six major families, plus Taiping Township, plus all the Taoists in the two capitals and thirty provinces, it is impossible to break through the capital of Daqing, let alone the imperial city in the capital...... Kill Emperor Yongtai? Some idiots say that they are dreaming. ”

"That's right, we really can't kill Emperor Yongtai in the Imperial City."

Fang Shuyue smiled and bowed his head, and then changed his words: "But what if he comes out?" Out of the imperial city, even, out of the capital? ”

"Oh?"

Ji Qingzhi's tone was a little novel, and he asked, "Patriarch Fang has a way to let Emperor Yongtai leave the capital?" ”

"It's not that I have a way, it's that he has already left Beijing."

Fang Shuyue said meaningfully.

“……”

Ji Qingzhi was silent for a moment and said an ambiguous word: "I haven't received any news. ”

"It's normal."

Fang Shuyue continued, "The dignified Emperor Daqing, every move has the attention of all parties, if you leave Beijing without authorization, leaving aside that group of civil and military ministers, I am afraid that the news will come out in a few days...... But what if, there is another Yongtai Emperor? ”

“…… What do you mean? ”

Ji Qingzhi's tone was a little indifferent again.

"You are not from the Three Great Ancient Clans, and there are many things that you have never heard of."

Fang Shuyue hooked the corners of his mouth, "For example, supernatural powers." ”

“…… I really haven't heard of it. ”

Ji Qingzhi responded.

"Divine powers, born with the beginning of heaven and earth, are a wonderful means that can be mastered by people."

Fang Shuyue opened his mouth to explain, and there was a subtle sense of superiority in his tone, "This method is at the same level as the rules of heaven and earth, and once it is practiced, it can be used in disregard of all rules. ”

"For example, the edict of Daqing, known as the Forbidden Heaven Jedi, but it also can't stop the use of supernatural powers."

"It's just that the teaching of supernatural powers requires the payment of longevity."

"So today, the inheritance of supernatural powers has almost been cut off."

"In ancient times, there were supernatural powers and famous Taoist hearts and demons, who could control millions of living beings in one word, and had supernatural powers that could change in a thousand ways, and they could enter the clouds and turn into dragons, go to the sea and turn into dragons, and exhaust everything."

"There is another kind that can divide the self into many."

Speaking of this, Fang Shuyue paused and said, "The last Dao Master, Lin Mad, mastered this kind of supernatural power—an incarnation outside the body!" ”

This time, Ji Qingzhi's silence was even more obvious.

didn't wait for a response, which made Fang Shuyue's heart sink slightly.

He came to Taiping Township this time for only one purpose, to make Ji Qingzhi believe his words and enter the Spring and Autumn Tomb.

Now it seems that it is not that simple.

Fang Shuyue took a deep breath and began to explain.

"Originally, with the friendship between our Fang family and the Lin family, Lin Mad had already nodded and passed on his supernatural powers to the Fang family."

"But who knows......"

"That Lin Mad suddenly went to the capital of Daqing alone and assassinated Emperor Wenchang, the unenlightened monarch."

"As for the result, it is, of course, a failure...... Lin Mad is too arrogant, if it is really so easy, where will it be his turn? ”

"In short, everyone thought he was dead, not to mention our family, even the Lin family didn't have time to obtain supernatural powers."

"Until not long ago, Lin Mad suddenly appeared on the Fang family's ship, wanting to borrow the Fang family's contact channels and return to the Lin family."

"With the friendship between the three ancient clans, borrowing the Daolou ship is just a trivial matter."

"But after much deliberation, I felt that there was something wrong with this."

"You must know that as a Taoist master, there is no doubt that he is imprisoned in the Imperial Prison."

"So far, there has been no case of escape from prison in the whole world."

Not to mention, he was imprisoned for more than twenty years...... If there is a way to escape, why wait so long? ”

"If he is allowed to return to the Lin family, the consequences will be unimaginable."

So, I invited him to the Spring and Autumn Tomb as a guest...... At least, the Fang family can watch out for one or two. ”

Fang Shuyue's words were high-sounding and awe-inspiring.

The whole thing went from the Fang family's greed for supernatural powers to taking the initiative to think about the Lin family.

At this time, Ji Qingzhi finally spoke, but his tone was a little strange: "What do you think is wrong with this Lin Maniac?" ”

"Defect to the imperial court, or to Emperor Yongtai."

Fang Shuyue replied, "Emperor Yongtai wants to gradually blend into the lineage through Lin Mad and as a side branch of the Lin family, and then exert influence on all the Taiping Dao side in order to completely disintegrate...... But that's just my initial thought. ”

"In the beginning? And then? ”

Ji Qingzhi asked again.

"Later, in order to test him, I asked Lin Mad to fulfill his original promise and teach his supernatural powers to the Fang family."

Fang Shuyue continued, "If he wants to conceal the betrayal of the Taiping Dao, he will definitely agree to come and appease the heart of our family...... However, shortly after he verbally agreed, he died suddenly. ”

"Dead?"

Ji Qingzhi's voice was a little stunned.

"It's a cheat."

Fang Shuyue smiled, "Lin Mad probably thinks that he can hide it from us, but it's a pity...... After all, he is only a side branch of the Lin family, and he doesn't know how deep the lineage of the three ancient clans is, so he can easily distinguish this kind of fraudulent death. ”

"After discovering that Lin Mad's death was a fraudulent death, I thought of another possibility."

"That is, Lin Mad is not Lin Mad but Emperor Yongtai pretending!"

"I guess, Emperor Yongtai doesn't know what means he used to force Lin Mad to teach his supernatural powers."

"After successfully cultivating supernatural powers, Emperor Yongtai killed Lin Mad and disguised his clone as Lin Mad with his phaseless clothes."

Speaking of this, Fang Shuyue smiled indifferently, "Now, he is disguising himself as a disciple of the Fang family, enjoying the resources of the Fang family, and he doesn't know that we have noticed his details. ”

"What do you mean......"

Ji Qingzhi pondered for a moment and asked, "Let the Taiping Township side, together with your Fang family, deal with this Fang family disciple who may be Emperor Yongtai's doppelganger?" ”

"That's right."

Fang Shuyue nodded, "As long as you can catch him, whether it is supernatural powers or royal secrets, it will be at your fingertips...... After all, he was Emperor Qing, and his past memories would make him more afraid of threats than ordinary people. ”

"You make sense, but I don't really understand it."

Ji Qingzhi knocked on the armrest of the throne, "In my opinion, the Fang family doesn't have any need to share it with others in this matter...... Not to mention sharing it with me. ”

Sure enough, it's not so easy to be fooled.

Fang Shuyue scolded secretly and continued: "You are right, the most reasonable way for the Fang family to do is to conceal this matter and swallow all the benefits, but the problem is that it is Emperor Qing. ”

"Although he is alone, as long as there is a slight possibility of being the emperor of Daqing, he must not limit the judgment of strength and weakness with a simple number."

"In the long years, more often, Emperor Daqing liked to move around."

"I, the Taiping Daoists, have had countless assassinations against Emperor Qing, but without exception, they all ended in failure."

"The most tragic one is a golden body peak, a law phase peak, plus more than ten kinds of daos, besieging and killing Emperor Qing."

"In the end, Emperor Qing returned to the capital alive, and no one on our side survived."

"Yes......"

Fang Shuyue paused suddenly and said, "This incident happened after the establishment of Taiping Dao, and there should be a record on your side." ”

"Well, it seems to be ......"

Ji Qingzhi thought for a while, "That Wan Kangdi who likes to pay private visits to Weifu and travel in the mountains and rivers the most?" ”

"yes, that's it."

Fang Shuyue gave affirmation, and then continued: "As for why I asked you to cooperate, instead of looking for the Lin and Zheng families, who are also of the ancient clan...... The three ancient clans have been in the same breath for so many years, not because they are really of one heart, but because they have no chance to kill each other. ”

"Are you afraid that the Lin Zheng family will be unfavorable to the other family...... No, it's not. ”

Ji Qingzhi was halfway through speaking, and his tone suddenly became a little playful: "You want the Fang family to get the magic power to sit big and kill Lin Zheng's second family." ”

"He is worthy of being a Taoist master."

Fang Shuyue smiled and did not deny it.

"There's one more point, though."

Ji Qingzhi said again, "How do you plan to convince me that the Fang family is sharing magical powers with me afterwards, instead of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and instead of attacking me?" ”

"I'm willing to swear by the Word."

Fang Shuyue's face was solemn, "The Dao swear of the ancient clan patriarch should be worthy of your trust. ”

For the sake of the family's plans, he has already given up.

What about the dustiness of the Dao seed?

Even if the Dao seed collapses, it is better than a broken family and a dead person.

However.

Ji Qingzhi chuckled, "There is no need for the Dao seed to swear, I believe you are." ”

“？”

Fang Shuyue looked confused.

Really fake.

Is this believing?

"You don't have to doubt it."

Ji Qingzhi waved his hand, "Do you remember the words of the Taiping Dao?" ”

Words of the Way?

Fang Shuyue tugged at the corners of his mouth, thinking that this guy was influenced by the first generation of Dao Masters again.

So he was not ambiguous, and said: "Of course I remember, there is a way in peace, and there is no suffering in heaven and earth......

When the eight words 'There is a way of peace, there is no suffering in heaven and earth' were completely spoken, the expression on Fang Shuyue's face became sluggish at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"It's stupid."

Ji Qingzhi shook his head contemptuously and said, "Kneel." ”

- Poof!

The patriarch of the dignified ancient clan, the one with the highest rank and status in the Fang family, knelt down straight and straight.

Next, it's a matter of questions and answers.

Ji Qingzhi asked, Fang Shuyue answered.

"What are you doing when you come to Taiping Township?"

"Tempting Ji Qingzhi into the Spring and Autumn Tomb."

And so it was...... What is your purpose in dealing with Ji Qingzhi? ”

"Seize the Hundred Herbs Garden and replace the Spring and Autumn Tomb that is about to decline."

"How did you know that Lin Mad had mastered the supernatural powers?"

"Lin Mad looked for the boat above the house, and then ......"

With Fang Shuyue's explanation, Ji Qingzhi gradually paid attention to it.

He originally thought that what Lin madness, what Yongtai Emperor doppelganger, everything was just made up by Fang Shuyue relying on the Fang family's record of supernatural powers, in order to deceive himself.

Unexpectedly, Lin Mad really appeared.

"Let's break it down."

Ji Qing ordered.

"Lin Mad is imprisoned in the mountainside pavilion, and there is a thunder net controlled by Fang Lezhong to block the ......"

Fang Shuyue began to state in detail.

After a long time.

Ji Qingzhi shouted to the outside world: "Qingwu." ”

A middle-aged man in black floated in and bowed down at the bottom of the steps: "The subordinates are here." ”

"Later, you go back to the Spring and Autumn Tomb with him and spread the demon seed to every Fang family."

Ji Qingzhi commanded, "Then ...... Wait for the opportunity to trigger! ”

His tone suddenly changed at this moment, full of cruelty, tyranny, and madness.

It can be said that it is countless times more chaotic than when Xu Chong washed his body and was haunted by demons.

"Subordinates receive orders."

The middle-aged man in black bowed his head, and he didn't wait for Ji Qingzhi to speak again, and floated away again.

Ji Qingzhi looked at Fang Shuyue, "Stand up." ”

Fang Shuyue got up obediently.

"There is peace and there is a way, and there is no suffering in heaven and earth."

This time it was Ji Qingzhi who said it.

As soon as the eight words fell, Fang Shuyue's expression suddenly changed, returning to the appearance before he was controlled.

And a memory just now seemed to have been completely erased from his mind.

"Since you agreed, immediately gather people and follow me to the Spring and Autumn Tomb."

Fang Shuyue said naturally.

"A promise is a promise, but it doesn't say now."

Ji Qingzhi said lightly, "I will arrange for someone you can trust to go back with you." ”

"Trustworthy ......"

Fang Shuyue's brows furrowed tightly, and he said coldly: "This is too child's play, if you are not sincere, this matter will be over." ”

In his opinion, as the patriarch of the ancient clan, he still has to have the posture he should have.

If you are too quiet, you will arouse suspicion.

"Why, I didn't even take the Dao seed oath, but you are here to care?"

Ji Qingzhi said meaningfully, "Could it be that you are calculating me, not Emperor Yongtai?" ”

"But the question is, what role can one of your subordinates play?"

Fang Shuyue's stinky face almost threw up his sleeves and left.

"Of course not by one subordinate."

Ji Qingzhi shook his head, "I asked him to go, it was to replace Li Xiangxue, continue the previous transaction, and use up the remaining hundred times the years, and when Li Xiangxue comes back, he will naturally tell me about the situation in the Spring and Autumn Mound...... In my opinion, this is more useful than taking an oath. ”

“…… One of these back and forth, wasting more than a month in vain? ”

Fang Shuyue was still a little dissatisfied.

"That doppelganger of Emperor Yongtai has not noticed anything unusual until now...... That's what you said. ”

Ji Qingzhi smiled, "For a mere period of more than a month, I believe that the Fang family can still maintain it." ”

"Is that ......?"

The more Fang Shu remembered what Fang Manxia had said to him.

'Lin Mad's roar before his death is very likely to have been heard by that Li Xiangxue......

When he first said this, Fang Lezhong had not yet reported the matter of 'Emperor Yongtai'.

His and Fang Manxia's considerations were to delay Li Xiangxue's departure from the Spring and Autumn Tomb, so as not to leak out of Lin Mad's affairs.

But now.

It seems that it can just be used to reassure Ji Qingzhi?

Thinking of this, Fang Shuyue nodded, "In that case, I will ask the side branch to send someone over, and when you decide to go to the Spring and Autumn Tomb, you can let him inform me." ”

"If you want to take this opportunity to unite with Zheng Lin's two families......"

"Believe me, even if they believe your words, the first person to consider cooperating with will still be the Fang family, not you."

Fang Shuyue took a deep look at Ji Qingyi, turned around and walked out.

That's it, and he's done everything he can.

Although Ji Qingzhi's attitude has always been a little ambiguous, since he has found a way to confirm what he said, it means that he is indeed interested.

It may not be that he is interested in Emperor Yongtai, but he is interested in supernatural powers.

I hope I can take the bait.

Fang Shuyue thought so, and left Taiping Township with the black-clothed Qingwu.

And Ji Qingzhi in the hall was talking to himself.

"Illegal recidivism."

"Dou Tianyuan, you are so bold......"

……

……

Capital.

It's the Great Pilgrimage again.

Lou Youzhi's connivance with the crown prince finally broke out on this day.

"If you have something to do, you have nothing to retreat from."

The sound that was not mixed with any emotions spread out from the Heavenly Pole Temple.

With this sentence, everyone's hearts were relieved.

However......

"Weichen, the clerk will give the Hou in the matter! There is a book on the play!! ”

A tall, thin middle-aged man with a goatee came out of the ranks and shouted loudly.

"Perform the Imperial Front."

Lou Youzhi said lightly.

Hou Rang held his notebook high with both hands, and spoke as he walked:

"Ministers, please play!"

"Yongtai eight years, Binzhou sea boiling ......"

As soon as they spoke, the faces of all the officials changed drastically, and they looked over one after another.

In fact, after the secret manipulation of the crown prince Jiang Xinghe, now the officials and the people in Beijing almost all 'remember' or 'learn' about the natural disaster.

But people, it can't be Du Qianchuan all of them.

is not only iron-headed, but also has the resentment of his deceased wife, and at the same time has the task of Lou Youzhi.

So much so that after so long, no one has really stood up until now.

The faint of heart do not dare.

The indifferent are disdainful.

Those who hide but do not reveal are secretly planning for themselves.

But today, Hou Rang stepped up.

"Until the nineteenth year of Yongtai, the number and duration of official vacancies in Yongzhou in Daqing are the largest among the thirty provinces!"

"Then in April, locusts flew all over the sky......"

“…… In the nineteenth year of Zhengfeng, I had 8.8 million stone of grain stored in Daqing, and the population of Leizhou was 19 million. ”

"Zhengfeng has been twenty years old, and Leizhou Tianhuo."

"At the end of 20 years, the population of Leizhou was 12 million, and I stored grain in Daqing...... And six million stones! ”

From the shortage of officials related to the place where natural disasters became, to the changes in grain reserves in disaster years, it is related to disasters and no relief.

It was exactly the same words as when Du Qianchuan first played.

Except for the name of the performer, nothing has changed, and it was recited aloud by Hou Rang.

"All of the above comes from Du Qianchuan's impeachment of the first emperor, and Weichen has the ability to never forget, so I hereby repeat it."

"Another!"

"Although all the relevant records of the Qin Tianjian, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Households have been destroyed, Weichen has consulted the local chronicles of various parts of the thirty provinces, and they are all exactly the same as those mentioned above, which can be used as evidence!"

"Today! Wei Chen Hou Rang, for the crime of murdering all the people, impeached Wenchang and Jingsheng...... Zhengfeng and other listed emperors! ”

"I beg Your Majesty to ......"

Hou Rang stood at the door of the Tianji Palace, just like Du Qianchuan at the beginning, held his head high, and stepped in one step: "In addition to his respect, get out of the Taimiao, and settle the soul of unjust death!! ”

Really!!

Is it really the impeachment of the first emperor!!

Those uninformed officials had cold hands and feet and were at a loss.

They knew that this matter, just like they were awakened to the memory of Du Qianchuan, someone must be secretly dominant.

But they don't know what this person is trying to do.

Could it be that you really have to force Your Majesty to remove the first emperor from the Taimiao?!

The point is.

The last Du Qianchuan is dead.

How about another Hou Rang?

The weight given by the clerk in the matter, even Du Qianchuan can't compare, right?

A group of officials thought so.

Soon, however, they realized that they had been wrong.

Because this time, Hou Rang is not alone.

"Hahaha...... It's better to think about it, or to be more direct. ”

Lang Zhong of the Ministry of Rites laughed out loud and bowed with his fists clenched: "Minister, second!" ”

"Let people get the first step."

The right attendant of the military department shook his head, stood up with some regret, and also clenched his fists: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

"The minister also seconded it!"

Dali Temple left temple Cheng out of the ranks.

"Weichen seconded!"

The left senator of the General Administration Department was listed.

In this way, one after another, officials came out one after another and seconded the proposal loudly.

Hou Rang's eyes were moist, and his gaze swept over the faces of these people one by one.

He didn't consult anyone about it, it was completely spontaneous.

However, it is under this premise that there are still people who follow themselves and stand up.

There were about 40 people in total.

The lowest has nine sesame petty officials, and the highest is sometimes Zheng, the left capital imperial history.

"The people of Daqing, this is the real people of Daqing......"

Hou Rang muttered to himself, and the next moment, his voice was hoarse: "I beg Your Majesty!" In addition to its respect, he was removed from the temple to settle the soul of unjust death!! ”

After these words, the hall was silent for a long time.

The hundred officials were waiting for Emperor Qing's reaction, and Emperor Qing ...... There is a knowing reaction in the waiting building.

Lou Youzhi's gaze swept over these people's faces, wrote them down one by one, and then turned to the curtain: "Weichen doesn't dare to say anything about this matter, and I ask Your Majesty to decide." ”

The cowardly words that seem to shirk fall on the ears of smart people, but they are extremely tough.

You must know that when Du Qianchuan did this, Lou Youzhi at least asked him to collect evidence.

This time, I didn't even mention the evidence, and let His Majesty decide directly?

What do you mean?

Direct Judgment Evidence Validity?

The officials' eyes flashed, and they kept communicating with each other.

"Lou has a ...... knowledge"

Emperor Yongtai's voice finally came out from behind the curtain, "What the hell do you want to do?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the hearts of the hundred officials sank, and the secret said sure enough!

Sure enough, the person behind the scenes is Lou Xiang!

It should be more than this time, right?

Now it seems that Du Qianchuan last time was also the handiwork of Lou Xiang.

"Your Majesty has misunderstood."

Lou Youzhi's face did not change, "Weichen didn't know about this matter before. ”

"Yes......"

Emperor Yongtai was noncommittal, and said: "Since this is the case, then pull it all down, just like Du Qianchuan, and behead it for the crime of rebellion." ”

The incomparably indifferent tone made everyone's hearts chill.

Especially Lou Youzhi.

He understood the meaning of this better than anyone else.

You know, it's not the same as last time.

Last time, there was only Du Qianchuan alone, and Yan Fang's mouth was also opened to the crime, and Emperor Yongtai just said a quasi-recital.

Although the meaning is the same, the meaning is completely different.

This means that Emperor Yongtai has no patience for this matter and has decided to kill.

The crime of rebellion punished the nine clans, and spread to the clansmen behind more than forty officials, that is, tens of thousands!

"Your Majesty......"

Lou Youzhi hugged his fist, and he wanted to say it again.

But before he could exit, he was interrupted.

"Why, my will no longer worked?"

Emperor Yongtai said coldly, "The dragon chair is in front of you, why don't you sit on it and give up the throne to you?" ”

“……”

Lou Youzhi's face changed, and after a while, his back, which was still a little bent, gradually straightened up.

Emperor Yongtai can't get out of the apse, so he doesn't need to worry so much about it.

It's nothing more than going from a powerful minister in the dark to a powerful minister on the surface.

The price is just to bear a lifetime of infamy.

Carry it.

Lou Youzhi's face turned completely cold, "Your Majesty is in poor health, it is not appropriate to take care of the government anymore, and the court will ...... from now on."

"Father!"

A voice sounded suddenly, interrupting Lou Youzhi's torn face.

Prince Daqing, Jiang Xinghe.
