Today's court meeting, the ministers did not have anything particularly important to report to Emperor Hongwu, so at the beginning, the canonization of Du Changsheng's national teacher became the most important thing, although the five grades are not much grade in the capital, but the position of the national teacher is still the first case in Dazhen, plus the content of the edict, adding a bit of mystery to Du Changsheng.

And the old ministers present still know more about today's saints, Emperor Hongwu does not agree with Emperor Yuande, he is a very pragmatic emperor, if Du Changsheng is not capable, he will not be favored by him, so until he retreats from the dynasty, the ministers of the court and the central government basically think about two things in their hearts: the first thing is that combined with the recent rumors and the information of today's court meeting, Yin Zhaoxian may really be in the recovery stage, which makes several families happy and a few worried;

At the end of the early dynasty, Du Changsheng, who was still excited, also walked out of the Golden Palace together with a congratulatory voice.

Xiao Du walked in the opposite position, and saw Du Changsheng and Yan Chang leaving together from a distance, and after greeting his colleagues around him, he kept thinking about the edict in his heart.

Where the carriage was parked somewhere in the palace, Xiao Du didn't speak for a long time after he turned over and got into the car, thinking about today's information in his heart.

couldn't wait for his master's order for a long time, so the next person asked carefully.

"Master, are we going to the Imperial Observatory or going back to the house directly?"

As the leader of the Yushitai, Xiao Du no longer needs to work in the Yushitai every day, hearing the words of the next person, Xiao Du finally came back to his senses, and said after a little hesitation.

"Go to Si Tianjian, I want to visit the national teacher. ”

"Yes!"

As soon as the subordinates responded, as the coachman drove the carriage, the entourage also left together, and arrived at Si Tianjian in about half an hour, and it didn't take much effort to find Du Changsheng's current residence.

Hearing that Dr. Yu Shi was visiting, Du Changsheng, who was assigning people to help pack up things, hurriedly came out of it, and when he arrived in the courtyard, he saw Xiao Du standing by the carriage outside the courtyard gate, and greeted him in a few steps.

"Hello Lord Xiao, Du Changsheng is polite here!"

Du Changsheng still has his own pride, in the face of Emperor Hongwu, he can be a "micro-minister", and while maintaining respect, there is also a trace of fear, but the deterrent power of other ministers to him is much worse, especially his position as a national teacher has been implemented, although he does not have much real power, but he is also outside the normal officialdom.

Xiao Du saw that Du Changsheng, who was white-bearded and white-haired, did not dare to slack off, and approached a few steps to give a salute.

"Congratulations to the national teacher for his promotion, Xiao took the liberty to visit and didn't disturb the national teacher, right? The relocation of the new house of the national teacher is imminent, and Xiao can also recommend people to help deal with the furniture and maids. ”

Du Changsheng put away his etiquette and stroked his beard and smiled, this big official like Doctor Yushi is so attentive to himself, he must have something to ask for, and he didn't want to beat around the bush, so he asked directly.

"Lord Xiao and Du have little intersection, come here today, but have something to discuss? Lord Xiao bluntly said that if you can help, Du will do his best, but Du has a word first, there is a will in the saint, although Du is a national teacher, but he can't be involved in things related to the government, I hope Lord Xiao understands. ”

In Du Changsheng's opinion, Xiao Du came to him, it was likely to be related to the government, and it would be foolproof if he left himself out first.

"This is nature, how can Xiao make it difficult for the national teacher, let alone go against the will of the saint, the national teacher, please take a step to speak!"

Xiao Du stretched out his hand to lead the side and then took the lead to the side, Du Changsheng also followed in confusion, seeing Du Changsheng coming, Xiao Du looked at the courtyard gate, and lowered his voice.

"National teacher, my Xiao family may have recruited evil spirits, I am afraid of ushering in disaster, well, Xiao is not referring to the partisan dispute between the DPRK and China, but the evil scourge, these years the dog is even more hopeless, I am afraid that it is also related to this, seeing the national teacher today, Xiao couldn't help but move the mind of asking for help. ”

"Summoned an evil spirit?"

Du Changsheng was slightly stunned, a little different from what he thought, and then his eyes became serious.

"Lord Xiao and stand up, and wait for Du to look at it with the eyes of the law. ”

Hearing Du Changsheng's words, Xiao Du stood in place, watched Du Changsheng take two steps back slightly, and then sealed his hands and gestured from the dantian to his forehead with a sword finger.

Du Changsheng's eyes were closed, and under the condensation of mana, he suddenly opened his eyes, at this moment, in Xiao Du's sight, he actually vaguely saw that Du Changsheng's eyes flashed with golden light, and his eyes became filled with a strong sense of insight for Xiao Du, and his heart suddenly increased hope.

In Du Changsheng's eyes, Xiao Du, as an official of the imperial court, has become more distinct, and now as a national teacher, his ability to feel the court officials is even beyond his own Taoism. He really found the black gas he had seen before, and there were actually some flames gathered below, and he couldn't see what it was, but it vaguely looked like many candle flames with strange colors, and he felt a wisp of demonic energy that seemed to be a little old.

After a long time, Du Changsheng closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, the feeling of being aware in his eyes also faded a lot.

"National teacher, what's wrong?"

Du Changsheng frowned, stroked his beard, and after thinking for a moment, he said to Xiao Du.

"Lord Xiao, your entanglement with that evil seems to have been going on for a long time, Du asked more, is it related to any fire, well, Du doesn't know if his description is accurate, in short, it doesn't look like a big fire, but like a lot of candle flames. ”

Xiao Du was obviously excited, and subconsciously took a step closer to Du Changsheng.

"The national teacher is right, he is right, this matter is indeed an old grudge, and it is indeed related to the candle flame, now that I am in trouble, my Xiao family is even more afraid that it will be extinct!"

Du Changsheng is actually not familiar with officialdom, but he also roughly understands some of the main contradictions, but he still has some principles, and he has just become a national teacher, and the courtiers are entangled by demons and evils, and it is also within his duty to take care of them, so he does not shirk too much.

"In this case, without further ado, I will immediately go back to the house with Lord Xiao, and go and have a look first. ”

"So very good, so very good! The national teacher please get into Xiao's carriage, the national teacher please!"

Xiao Du was overjoyed, and hurriedly invited Du Changsheng to get in the car, such a court official was so respectful to himself, and Du Changsheng was also very useful, which was a bit of a national teacher.

The carriage traveled very fast, and it didn't take long to arrive at Xiao Mansion, at Du Changsheng's request, Xiao Du not only sent someone to call Xiao Ling back, but also personally led Du Changsheng to visit every corner of Xiao Mansion, and after more than a quarter of an hour, they returned to Xiao Mansion Guest Hall.

"National teacher, have you found anything?"

Xiao Du saw that Du Changsheng hadn't drunk any tea, so he pondered over there, and after waiting for a while, he couldn't help but ask, and the latter frowned and looked at him.

"There is no evil aura in the Xiao Mansion, it doesn't look like the evil has come to the door......

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the house, Xiao Ling had already returned, and when he entered the guest hall, he saw Du Changsheng who was very good-looking at the fairy wind bones at first sight.

"Dad, this is the national teacher, Xiao Ling is polite!"

Xiao Ling said and saluted Du Changsheng, and the latter had already stood up and looked Xiao Ling up and down, and after looking at it for a while, Du Changsheng's eyes also changed, and he said with a bit of meaning.

"No, you're injured, but it's not because ......of demons, it's a divine punishment!

Du Changsheng sneered and glanced back at Xiao Du who was sitting there.

"And this is a wonderful Shinto method, Xiao Gongzi's body was damaged twice, once when the fundamental vitality was damaged, and the second time was when this god left a back hand, it must be because you violated some oath and agreement that will make you desperate!"

The methods of the gods are upright, and they are easier to see through than the methods of demons and evil spirits, or they are basically put on the surface for practitioners with Taoism to know.

"Hmph, Lord Xiao, Du can manage the evil things, and Du will not be lightly involved in this punishment of the gods. ”

Du Changsheng vaguely understood that the gods who left behind the means were afraid that the Tao was extremely high, and the traces of Shen Yun were very shallow but very obvious.

"Gods?"

Xiao Du stood up suddenly, looked at Xiao Ling and then at Du Changsheng.

"National teacher, my Xiao family has always worshiped the gods, and the City God Temple has the everlasting lamp of my Xiao family, why did the gods want to harm my Xiao family? And how could my son collide with the gods, even if there is an offense, mortals don't know the reason, and they can't see the true body of the gods, the so-called ignorant is not guilty, why do you have to set off twice, and make my Xiao family desperate, please think of a way......

"Oh, I haven't seen it?"

Du Changsheng squinted his eyes at Xiao Ling, whose face was a little ugly, and then looked at Xiao Du, who was shocked.

"I don't think so, Xiao Gongzi, it's better to tell Du Mou about your matter, otherwise I don't care, and Lord Xiao, I asked you about the old grudge before, you said that the ancestor violated the agreement and casually found a hundred lights to send it, I'm afraid it's more than that, right? Hmph, when the disaster came, he still took care of him, and Du left. ”

As he spoke, Du Changsheng put his hands on his back, passed by Xiao Du, and walked out of the guest hall.

"The national teacher stays, the national teacher stays!"

Xiao Du, the ability of this national teacher, has already believed in ninety percent, how can he let him go at this moment, and hurriedly chased him out, Du Changsheng didn't really want to go directly, at least he had to understand the truth, so he stopped and turned around, and bowed when he saw Xiao Du standing still.

"National teacher, my Xiao family's past is bound to tell you everything, but it is really ...... to offend the gods."

"Dad, the national teacher is right, the child did offend the gods......"

Xiao Ling came out of the guest hall and continued with a wry smile on his face.

"It's not the land of Chenghuang that offends, it's the ...... of Tongtian Jiang Yingniang"

"Ying Niangniang?" "Ying Niangniang!"

Xiao Du and Du Changsheng reacted differently, the former was slightly puzzled, and the latter was shocked.

"You...... How daring......"

"National teacher, but it's very tricky, I can order someone to prepare to sacrifice to the river to appease the wrath of the gods......"

"I'm afraid this matter is not that simple, you tell me everything first, let me think about it carefully!"

Du Changsheng's face was cloudy, and his heart was already retreating, this Xiao family didn't know how many debts he had carried, not to mention evil resentment, even God provoked, he planned to go to Ji Yuan to solve it after hearing the truth, if there was something wrong, even if he lost the face of his national teacher, he had to refuse the Xiao family.
