246, Royal Arsenal
Imperial Palace Arsenal,
This is the first time Shen Du has come, and it is also the first person to come in the past ten years.
At the beginning, the Northern Barbarians plundered the world and robbed a lot of Central Plains martial arts, and after the Yan State expelled the Northern Barbarians, some martial arts classics naturally fell into the hands of the Yan State.
All of these things were eventually sent into the royal arsenal and became the royal heritage.
For more than 200 years, Dayan has also scavenged many martial arts cheats from everywhere.
It can be said that what is in the six doors is in the royal arsenal, but what is in the royal arsenal is not necessarily in the six doors.
Since Emperor Yan's retreat, there are only two people in the entire Yan Kingdom who can open this arsenal.
One is the Governor of the Six Gates, and the other is the Crown Prince.
Shen has the prince's warrant, and the road is unimpeded.
The little eunuch who led the way in front finally stopped in front of a palace and said respectfully, "Lord Shen, it's here." β
"This is the place where the villain can't go any further."
Shen Du raised his eyes and looked around, the so-called arsenal was built in a very remote corner of the palace, there were no buildings around, and there were no people on duty.
In front of the palace stand two stone lions, which are imposing.
Shen Du nodded and walked in.
Pushing open the palace gate, a little dust fell.
The moment the palace gate opened, the palace suddenly brightened as day.
Bright orbs hang from the top of the temple, illuminating the entire temple.
The moment Shen Du stepped into the hall, the palace gate suddenly closed.
A slightly hoarse voice sounded faintly: "Newcomer here?" β
Shen Du's expression was slightly startled, and he turned his head to look at the voice.
I saw a shrunken figure sitting cross-legged on the bed on the side of the palace.
Skinny, with no flesh and blood on his body, his head hung low, his white hair fell down, and his robe looked extremely loose.
Shen Du frowned slightly.
He thought that there would definitely be a caretaker in the arsenal, but he never thought that this caretaker would be like this, and he couldn't even feel half of the breath of life.
Shen Du bowed his hand and gave a salute: "Senior! β
Hearing this, the figure sitting cross-legged did not raise his head, and his body did not even move a point.
"Boom!"
At this moment, a passage suddenly opened on the ground in the hall.
"Let's go inside!"
A deep voice echoed through the hall.
This voice did not come from the old man's mouth, but came out with true qi in a special secret method.
Shen Du looked at the entrance of the tunnel and turned around and stepped into it.
After walking a few steps, Shen Du suddenly noticed that the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi around him had become extremely rich.
"It's ......"
Shen Du's face changed slightly, and he said in surprise: "Cave Heaven Blessed Land? β
It was a familiar feeling to him, after all, he had entered it once.
Could it be that this so-called arsenal is actually within this cave blessed land?
It's not a lot of space, it's only a few miles, and you can see the end at a glance.
There are no buildings to be seen around, and it is slightly desolate.
Not far away, there are stone monuments, on which various martial arts exercises are recorded.
Shen Du glanced at it casually, all of them were divine martial arts.
Just as he fixed his gaze on an exercise, the scene around him suddenly changed.
In his ears, there seemed to be a deep voice repeating the exercises, telling the key to it, and at the same time, scenes flashed in front of him.
There are scenes of practicing the exercises, and there are also scenes of enemies against others.
Watching these pictures made his comprehension of the exercises instantly reach an extremely high level, although it was not instantaneous, but it undoubtedly greatly reduced the time.
A hint of surprise flashed in Shen Du's eyes.
He now understood the true value of the arsenal here.
Exercises are secondary, and more important are these martial arts perceptions.
Latecomers can stand on the shoulders of their predecessors to touch the bypass and absorb the experience of the ancestors of the martial artists, which can be said to be twice the result with half the effort.
He had a feeling that if he wanted to, he could also leave his martial arts perception and exercises here.
"It seems to be because of the particularity of this blessed land."
However, these things are not of much effect on Shen Du, and the process is too slow.
Sweeping over the stone monuments, Shen Du suddenly stopped in front of a stone monument.
"Qi is the god, meaning the body, and the form is the ......"
A smile appeared in Shen Du's eyes, and he laughed softly: "What an unexpected joy." β
What is recorded on the stele here is "Thirty-six Road Strangers Turning the Sky", which comes from Li Shenzhou's martial arts.
Shen Du did not hesitate and directly chose to cultivate.
γThirty-six Strange Achievementsγ
[Kill Point - 2 Million]
In an instant, the introduction of martial arts, all kinds of martial arts experience emerged, as if they had been cultivated thousands of times.
In general, although this skill is not as good as the Seven Limits of Devouring Heaven and Earth, its power should not be underestimated.
After a while, Shen Dufang walked towards the rest of the stone monuments.
Among the exercises recorded in many stone tablets, Shen Du found another extremely good swordsmanship.
- The Twelve Swords of Xuanyin!
Shen Du pondered for a moment, and finally chose to cultivate.
Although I rarely use swordsmanship on weekdays, I can use it one day if I take one step and see three steps.
There is no reason to miss such miracles.
Shen Du chose a few more divine skills, and then left the arsenal.
Seeing Shen Du walk out, the old man sitting cross-legged on one side seemed to be extremely surprised.
"Why did you come out?"
Ordinary people enter this place, as little as half a month, as long as half a year.
I am afraid that this son will not even have an hour when he enters this place.
Shen Du arched his hand at the old man, and said calmly: "If you learn it, you will naturally come out." β
"If you are on official business, how can you delay here."
The temple was silent for a moment.
"Huh!"
The next moment, the old man's low light laughter rang out.
"Go ahead!"
In his heart, Shen Du has been labeled as "arrogant".
Now that Dayan's younger generations have become like this?
Shen Du knew that the other party didn't believe it, but he didn't bother to prove anything, he just told the truth.
Shen Duyuan walked out of the palace.
The little eunuch waiting outside the palace was full of surprise: "My lord, why are you ......?"
It came out too quickly, and he thought it would take at least a few days.
"Let's go."
Shen Du didn't mean to explain much, and motioned for the little eunuch to lead the way ahead.
Just as the two were about to leave the palace, a train suddenly appeared in front of them.
Shen Du glanced at it and guessed that this was the car of the Nine Emperor Princes.
Among the princes now, the only one who often enters the palace is this Nine Emperor Princes.
But......
In this huge palace, how have Emperor Yan's concubines lived for more than 20 years?
Although he is not a gossip person, he is somewhat curious.
No wonder those princes don't want to stay in the palace one by one.
In this case, everyone will think about it more, and if some rumors circulate among the people, the reputation will be completely stinky.
As a son, having an affair with his father's concubine, those literati would not let go of this opportunity.
Xia Xicheng stepped out of the carriage and saluted Shen Du: "Lord Shen." β
Shen Du smiled lightly: "His Royal Highness the Ninth is polite. β
"I don't know why His Royal Highness the Ninth is waiting here?"
Xia Xicheng was silent for a moment, and then arched his hand and said, "My queen mother wants to see you." β
"I'm sorry!"
As soon as Xia Xicheng's words fell, Shen Du decisively refused, shook his head and said: "The harem is heavy, how dare I, a foreign minister, trespass." β
"And I'm on official business, so I'll forgive my fate!"
When the queen saw that she had any purpose, he didn't know it, and she didn't want to know.
At this juncture, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring, and he doesn't want to fall into the hands of others.
With his current status, he doesn't have to care if this matter will offend the queen.
Hearing Shen Du's refusal, Xia Xicheng didn't seem surprised, but just arched his hand and said, "I'm sorry." β
The Shaolin incident hit him hard, which also made him lose confidence in competing for that position.
Shen Du and Xia Xicheng's carriages staggered by, one out of the palace and the other into the palace.
β¦β¦
As soon as Shen Du returned to the Gyeonggi Helm, he summoned Xu Chong and others.
Shen Du looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "The matter of Jingcha must be full of resistance, and we don't have so much time to spend with them. β
"So what to do next, I think you all understand."
"Officials below the fifth grade, don't care about what evidence they have, first find out a group of people, and then use this as a breakthrough to continue to expand the scope."
"Evidence of crimes or something, wait for them to go to prison and then slowly torture them."
"Under the punishment, they will confess themselves."
"As for the officials above the fifth grade, take advantage of the rebellion between the officials of the four states and the Wei family in Lingzhou, and give them a charge first."
"The remaining members of the six departments, the nobles of the court, when these wings are almost cut off, they should not be able to sit still, and they will show their faces."
He never thought of doing the things of Jingcha step by step, that was not his style of acting.
Everyone looked at each other, shocked in their hearts, and got up and said, "Obey!" β
Although they were puzzled, they were also used to Shen acting alone, and they didn't ask too much.
Shen Du glanced at everyone and said lightly: "Later, I will send a few worshippers from the East Palace and the East Palace guards to cooperate with you." β
The prince's health is getting worse, and he really investigates it slowly, but he doesn't know that it will be the year of the monkey.
Rather than this, it is better to cut the mess with a quick knife.
Hearing this, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the Gyeonggi Helm has a great reputation, most of the catchers are still brought from Taizhou, and there is a shortage of manpower.
It is not enough for these people to be scattered all over the city, not to mention that they have to collect evidence and collect accusations at the same time.
Now with the assistance of the East Palace's personal guards, it will undoubtedly relieve a lot of pressure, which also gives them plenty of confidence.
β¦β¦
Only half a day later, Yanjing City became a sensation again.
But this time it's because of the Jingcha incident.
On the street, many hunters of the six gates rode by, and there were columns of soldiers wearing helmets and armor around them, and their armor was impressively from the guards of the East Palace.
The armor system of each guard in Yanjing is different, and many people in the armor city of the East Palace guards know each other.
While many officials were still in their homes, six doors were broken down and forcibly taken away.
This scene left many people dumbfounded.
The same scene was staged all over Beijing.
Even if some officials recruited masters of the rivers and lakes in their mansions, there were a number of East Palace worshippers who were killed in just one face.
For the officials in Beijing, there are still some scruples, but it is much easier to deal with those Jianghu people.
In just half a day, more than 50 officials in Gyeongzhong were arrested, ranging from the sixth rank to the ninth grade, and all of them were imprisoned in the prison of the Gyeonggi General Helm.
Everyone thought that Jingcha might involve many people, but they never thought that this movement would come so big that they were completely caught off guard.
Since ancient times, Jingcha has first assessed the past merits of each official, and then sent officials to verify, and then sent to the three law divisions for review, and then sent to the cabinet after the trial, and finally integrated into the emperor of heaven.
The Son of Heaven gave instructions in vermilion, which can be regarded as the final judgment.
The entire Jingcha has an extremely complete set of processes, and Shen Du's move directly spared the Yushitai, the Three Law Divisions, and even the cabinet did not submit it.
Although all the arrests were ordinary officials, this incident still sounded a wake-up call for everyone.
For a while, everyone's hearts were clouded with a layer of haze, and there was a sense of wind and rain coming.
Many people in the DPRK and China have played for impeachment.
It's just that these official documents were sent to the cabinet, and after the cabinet approved, they were sent to the East Palace and lost news.
After a long time of no response, everyone fully realized that the prince had acquiesced to all this.
β¦β¦
As night falls,
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the wind was howling all around.
Yan Fu,
As the mansion of the head of the cabinet, it is not very luxurious, and the servants in the entire mansion add up to only more than thirty people.
At this time, a carriage slowly stopped in front of the Yan Mansion, and then a person stepped out of the carriage, which was the deputy assistant of the cabinet, Liu Chengzhi.
Liu Chengzhi looked at the doorman, took a deep breath, and walked quickly into the house.
The doorman in front of the house did not stop him, because they knew who it was.
Dayan Cabinet Second Auxiliary!
It's not once or twice that they have come to their Yan Mansion, so naturally they don't dare to stop them.
Liu Chengzhi came to the front hall of the mansion with a familiar car.
After waiting for a while, the housekeeper of the Yan Mansion stepped forward and said respectfully: "Lord Liu, my master said that he already knew your intentions. β
Liu Chengzhi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "What does Lord Yan say?" β
The housekeeper shook his head slightly and said, "Master let me tell you, please go back." β
"Go back?" Liu Chengzhi's eyes widened, his breathing was slightly heavy, and he said in a deep voice: "Where is Lord Yan?" β
"I want to see him in person!"
Liu Chengzhi's attitude is extremely firm, and there is a tendency that he will not leave if he doesn't see Yan Ziqing today.
The butler looked embarrassed.
After hesitating, he stretched out his hand and gestured, "Please come with me." β
The two went all the way to the back house.
Yan Ziqing held the teacup, sat on the Taishi chair, looked at Liu Chengzhi who came calmly, there was no surprise on his face, it seemed that he had expected him to come.
"Lord Liu, sit down."
Liu Chengzhi didn't have much to think about at the moment, but said angrily: "Lord Yan, don't you really want to think that you don't know?" β
"Do you really want to let that ignorant shaft act unscrupulously?"
"Now the hundred officials are panicking, and his actions are clearly breaking the rules!"
Yan Ziqing's eyes lowered, sighed softly, and said calmly: "Lord Liu, there are some things that you have already understood. β
"Since Jingcha has restarted, it is impossible to stop, you could have stayed out of it."
When it comes to their status, no matter who sits in that seat in the future, they will not be too embarrassed, and they will be given a decent share.
The matter of the throne is the Xia family's own business, and outsiders intervene in it, and if they are not careful, it will be a situation from which they will never recover.
Yan Ziqing glanced at Liu Chengzhi, shook his head and said, "Lord Liu, go back." β
"The old man can't take care of this matter, and he doesn't want to take care of it."
Liu Chengzhi's face turned cold, but he didn't say more, snorted coldly, threw his sleeves and left.
Seeing Liu Chengzhi leave, Yan Ziqing sighed softly.
The one in the East Palace has endured for more than 20 years, and over the years, the nobles of the court have always suppressed the family lords by gentle means, but now it is the norm.
This means that his time is indeed running out.
But this move is afraid that it will cause even greater chaos, and those family lords and nobles will not be willing to lead the neck and kill them.
The foundation of the family's gate valve is never in Beijing, but ...... Out.
It's a little little less today, and the follow-up is a bit of a headache.
