Yong'an City Chunhe Palace Zhengyuan Palace, resplendent gold, fragrant mist, Emperor Yin Guang, who had just retired from the early dynasty, sat expressionlessly on the wood-carved gold-lacquered throne in the center. Yin Guang wore a black gauze winged crown on his head, a yellow regular dress with a plate collar and narrow sleeves, a jade belt of gold and jade, amber and rhino at his waist, and a pair of black leather boots. Recently, as soon as the morning court is in the morning for seven days, as long as the morning court is in the morning, Yin Guang is the outfit that cannot be shaken by thunder. At the foot of the stairs, more than 200 fat female sumo wrestlers are wrestling in turn. Ten people at a time, five groups at a time. It's a lot of fun.

The little eunuch Yu Fu was also expressionless, standing in front of Yin Guang with the dust in his arms, watching these female sumo wrestlers fall around each other, pointing out from time to time. The little palace maid Wenxiu was beside the emperor, pinching the emperor's arm. The rest of the eunuchs and palace maids knew the emperor's heart, and waited at the palace gate from afar, and they would never dare to come up without the emperor's call. In the past, there were new eunuchs on duty who didn't understand the meaning of the emperor and stood in front of the emperor, but they were pushed by the emperor and beaten with twenty court rods.

Since then, everyone in the palace has understood that as long as the emperor does not speak, except for Yang Jingzhong, Wei Dehai and Yu Fu, no one is qualified to stand in that position. Not to mention in the deep palace, even in the court, when the early court, the officials must stand in their respective positions, otherwise the emperor will be furious, after a long time, people find that His Majesty the emperor seems to have a very serious obsessive-compulsive disorder, everything must be placed in the original position accurately according to his habits, otherwise he will be restless.

On both sides of the throne of wood carving and gold lacquer, it is similar to other palaces, on both sides are symmetrically arranged incense tables, incense sticks and other things, as well as four copper enamel and copper gilded incense burners, and there are six bright yellow dragon cabinets on both walls, showing the majesty of the royal family. Yin Guang sat on the throne, looking at the female sumo wrestlers who were fighting below, and his heart was very irritable, it was for the Wei King Tang Jiusheng's matter.

In the early days of the dynasty, the ministers quarreled and argued endlessly because of the record on the list of heroes in the world that Tang Jiusheng, the king of Wei, was the deputy sect leader of the Demon Heaven Sect. One side strongly supported Tang Jiusheng, and the other side thought that Tang Jiusheng's objection had sprouted, and the two sides insisted on their own words and argued fiercely. The party that thinks that Tang Jiusheng has an antipathy, headed by Wu Yuanjing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, thinks that there is no lie on the list of heroes in the world, and the evidence is conclusive, so please ask the emperor to eliminate the evil and make an order to win the title.

The people who strongly supported Tang Jiusheng were headed by Du Haifeng, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, who thought that the list of heroes in the world was pure nonsense, and the new squire of the Ministry of War, Chu Mingluo, even ridiculed to his face, if it was listed that Tang Jiusheng was Gong Chengping's father, or if you Wu Shangshu also served as the deputy head of the Demon Sect, could it be regarded as evidence? The two sides argued fiercely, and in the end, no one could convince anyone, so they could only ask the emperor to make a holy judgment. Yin Guang looked at Yang Jingzhong standing in front of the emperor, Yang Jingzhong seemed to be asleep, his eyes were closed and he didn't speak.

In the end, Yin Guang had no choice but to announce his retreat. After retiring from the dynasty, Chu Mingluo, the new soldier of the military department, and Sun Mingcheng, the regular attendant of the left scattered cavalry, fought out of the main hall, the two beat each other, and both were beaten by each other's nose and swollen face, and finally the two were separated by Hu Zhongkui, the imperial envoy who wanted to calm the matter, and the civil and military officials were persuaded to fight on the side, and the scene was a mess. This is something that has never happened in the 300 years since the founding of Dashang.

Yin Guang looked at the female sumo wrestlers who were struggling to fight at the bottom of the stairs, but his heart flew to Jiannan Dao, and he suddenly sighed. The little palace maid Wenxiu did not follow the emperor to participate in the early dynasty this morning, and she didn't know anything about what happened in the early dynasty, so she asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, do you have anything on your mind?" Yu Fu, who was instructing the female sumo wrestlers to fight, subconsciously glanced back at Wenxiu, thinking that the emperor was in a bad mood, I didn't dare to talk more, what kind of mouth do you have? Be careful that the emperor is unhappy and you will be scolded.

Fortunately, Yin Guang didn't get angry, just shook his head, and asked softly: "Wenxiu, you said that King Wei became the deputy head of the Demon Sect, is it true? Is he really pampered and arrogant, and wants to rebel?

Yin Guang said again: "Or is there really someone who wants to frame him? But after all, there is no lie on the list of heroes in the world, I really have a headache The truth of this matter! Wenxiu, it doesn't matter, you just have to say, whether it's right or wrong, I don't blame you!"

Wen Xiu thought about it seriously, smiled, wrinkled her little nose, and said gently: "Your Majesty, you can ask the slave and maid, where do the slaves and maids know that? But the slave and maid think, some things may not be groundless, maybe there is some accident, so that King Wei has to do what the deputy sect leader of the Demon Sect has? Tell the slave and maid to see, this matter is also simple, and the emperor does not have to worry about it, it is better to go to Jiannan directly and ask King Wei, and then see what King Wei says!" Instead of bothering to guess here, it's better to ask directly!"

Yin Guang thought about it, suddenly laughed, pointed at Wenxiu's little nose with his finger, nodded and said: "Well, you reminded me in one sentence, and that's right, Tang Jiusheng is my brother-in-law, why should I guess the truth of this matter, just ask the order, and you can know a rough truth or falsehood." Originally, I thought that Tang Jiusheng had just taken over the Luoyu Pavilion, and now joining the Demon Heaven Sect may not be fake, after all, Tang Jiusheng has always acted unreasonably and shocking the world!

At the entrance of the main hall, a eunuch on duty suddenly said loudly: "The chief steward Yang Jingzhong has arrived!" Yin Guang, who was talking to Wenxiu, turned his head and looked at the entrance of the hall, only to see Yang Jingzhong, the white-haired, white-eyebrowed, purple-robed chief of the inner hall holding the dust in his arms, and walked into the main hall without hurrying, and glanced at them a few times when he passed by the female sumo wrestlers. Behind Yang Jingzhong, followed by two little eunuchs with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes. Yang Jingzhong came to Yin Guang's throne with a smile on his face, bowed down and saluted: "The old slave sees the emperor!" The two little eunuchs behind Yang Jingzhong also saluted Yin Guang together.

Yin Guang owed a little, and said with a slight smile on his face: "Father Shang is here?" and then ordered: "Wenxiu, give Father Shang a seat!" Wenxiu agreed, turned around and left, and after a while, he moved a chair out and placed it on the left side of the emperor's throne, Yang Jingzhong thanked him and sat down. Yin Guang smiled and asked, "Father Shang, why did you suddenly come to Chunhe Palace?"

Yang Jingzhong stretched out his hand and took out a copy of the fold from his arms, stood up, took two steps forward, and presented his hands to Yin Guang, "Your Majesty, this morning the hundred officials of the dynasty were arguing about whether King Wei was the deputy sect leader of the Demon Heaven Sect, but I didn't expect King Wei's expedited fold to arrive so soon!

Yin Guang was slightly surprised, took the secret fold, sighed, and chuckled: "I was about to issue an order to ask him about the situation of Jiannan Dao, but I didn't expect him to come first, I want to see what he has to say!" Yin Guang opened the excerpt and watched it carefully, in front of the excerpt, Tang Jiusheng introduced many situations in Jiannan Dao recently, as well as the things after the integration of Luoyu Pavilion. There was also the battle between the Blood Shadow Hall of the Pingxi Palace, and the battle between the Xiaowei, and finally mentioned that the Demon Heaven Sect had twice sent someone to invite him to be the deputy sect leader.

The previous time Tang Jiusheng rejected the Demon Heaven Sect, Yin Guang had already received a secret report from Dongwei and local officials. This time, the envoy of the Demon Heaven Sect came to invite him again, Dongwei's secret report had not yet arrived in the capital, and the new list of heroes in the world had first spread in various parts of the Great Shang, so it was no wonder that the emperor and the civil and military officials were suspicious. I saw that the excerpt finally wrote: "Rumors are spreading, killing people is better than swords, three people become tigers, and the ministers are terrified when they hear the news, and they are sincerely afraid! Therefore, I ask for resignation from the post of King Wei and no longer control the civil and military officials in Jiannan, so as not to worry about the saints and the anxiety of the officials!"

After reading it, Yin Guang's heart had already let go, since Tang Jiusheng denied being the deputy sect leader of the Demon Sect, and asked for belittlement, it was obvious that he had not done anything rebellious. Yin Guang let out a long breath and asked Yang Jingzhong: "Father Shang, may I ask Father Shang that on the list of heroes in the world, it was mentioned that Tang Jiusheng was the deputy sect leader of the Demon Sect, and now Tang Jiusheng denied it on the table, and at the same time asked to resign from the Wei King, does Father Shang have any opinion?" Yang Jingzhong closed his eyes and did not answer, as if he was dozing off.

Yin Guang was not in a hurry and waited patiently. After a while, Yang Jingzhong opened his eyes, held the long eyebrows hanging down his cheeks with his right hand, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the old slave thinks that since King Wei has asked to resign from the post of King Wei, it seems that the emperor can be gracious. After all, the court has recently caused a lot of unhappiness because of the matter of Wei Wang, and many officials are very dissatisfied with Tang Jiusheng's sudden title of king because of his lack of success, and now there is such a thing, the emperor might as well remove him from the prince to calm the hearts of the people. ”

Yu Fu stood on the side, looked at Yang Jingzhong's words, and the corners of his mouth curled. Yin Guang suddenly laughed and said: "Father Shang, I heard that Father Shang went to Jiannan Road a while ago, and had two secret meetings with Tang Jiusheng, talking about cooperation with the National Teacher's Mansion and Tang Jiusheng, since Father Shang's Dongwei and Tang Jiusheng are allies, why did he refuse to come forward to vouch for him at this moment, but asked me to remove him from the post of King Wei?"

Yang Jingzhong stood up from the chair, brushed the dust in his arms, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the old slave and King Wei did have an agreement to help each other and support each other, but that is also out of public interest, and he must do his best for the court and the emperor! If what Tang Jiusheng did has endangered the emperor and the court, then the old slave will never dare to abolish the public for personal gain!" The old slave believes that at this time, the emperor already has an idea in his heart, and the old slave is just saying his opinion, this kind of thing of seizing the king and seizing the title must be decided by the emperor himself, how dare the old slave be good at it!"

Yin Guang nodded quietly, slowly stood up, and stretched, "Okay, what Father Shang said, I already know!" I suddenly felt a little tired at this time, and I want to go back to the Cultivation Pavilion to rest, so I won't sit with Father Shang!"

Yang Jingzhong bowed down and said: "Since the emperor is tired of dealing with the government, the old slave will retire first!" Yang Jingzhong turned around and left with the two little eunuchs, Yin Guang looked at Yang Jingzhong's departing back, thoughtfully, and snorted after a while: "This old fox!" Wen Xiu snickered on the side.

Yin Guang ordered the female sumo wrestlers to retreat, and took Yu Fu and Yu Xiu to the direction of Yangshen Pavilion. It was the bright season of spring, the sky was clear, cloudless, Yin Guang looked up, and the sky above the palace was intoxicating. Yin Guang already had an idea about Tang Jiusheng's affairs in his heart, so his mind relaxed, and he walked slowly, Yu Fu and Wenxiu followed step by step, and then there were a few eunuchs and palace maids behind. As she was walking, the queen Chu Fengying, who was wearing a coat, walked over with several palace maids and eunuchs.

Chu Fengying saw Yin Guang, her face was happy, and she hurriedly greeted Yin Guang and gave Yin Guang a salute, and behind Chu Fengying, several palace maids and eunuchs saluted Yin Guang together. Yu Fu, Wen Xiu and others saluted Chu Fengying. Chu Fengying said didily: "Ouch, my emperor, you can call the concubine easy to find!" Yin Guang knew that she just wanted to be coquettish, and she really wanted to find Yin Guang, but she didn't know that after Yin Guang finished going to the court, she trained more than 200 female sumo wrestlers in the Chunhe Palace every day?

Since Leng Hongxing, the owner of Tiger Mountain Village, followed Tang Jiusheng into Beijing to face the saint, was unexpectedly favored by Yin Guang, and later became Zhaoyi Niangniang, Chu Fengying was obviously nervous, and her attitude towards Yin Guang has been obviously much kinder recently, and she accompanies Yin Guang to do carpentry work from time to time, and she will be coquettish to Yin Guang, Yin Guang also feels that when this woman is no longer cold, she is really much cuter than before.

Yin Guang stepped forward to pick up Chu Fengying, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, does it matter if the queen mother is looking for me?"

Chu Fengying shook Yin Guang's arm and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, a few peach blossoms and magnolia flowers in the imperial garden are blooming beautifully these days, and the concubines have long wanted to invite the emperor to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers, but they are afraid of disturbing the emperor's handling of military and political affairs, so they dare not speak." It just so happens that the weather is sunny today, I wonder if the emperor has time to accompany his concubines to enjoy the flowers in the garden?"

Yin Guang smiled and gently pressed Chu Fengying's upturned little nose with his fingers, and said, "I still think you have something important, you are going to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers! It is easy to say, since the queen mother came to invite in person, how could I not give the queen mother this face?" Yin Guang looked back at Yu Fu with a smile and said with a smile: "Yu Fu, drive the imperial garden!" Yu Fu heartily agreed, and opened the way for the emperor in front.

Chu Fengying stepped forward, took Yin Guang's arm affectionately, and asked as she walked: "Your Majesty, the concubines heard that this morning, hundreds of civil and military officials are talking about the fact that Tang Jiusheng, the king of Wei, has become the deputy sect leader of the Demon Sect?

Yin Guang frowned and said: "I am embarrassed about this matter, Tang Jiusheng has already made a secret fold, saying that the Demon Heaven Sect sent envoys to invite him to join the Demon Sect twice, but Tang Jiusheng did not agree, and beat the envoy of the Demon Sect, but Wan Deyan, who compiled the list of heroes in the world, and Tang Jiusheng had a grudge against their sons, so they were bent on harming Tang Jiusheng, so Tang Jiusheng was written as the deputy leader of the Demon Sect." However, I don't know if what is said on the list of heroes in the world is true, or what Tang Jiusheng said is true. What does the Queen think about this?"

Chu Fengying heard this, and said with a smile: "This kind of national event, where can the concubines be allowed to talk too much, Emperor Taizu strangled the stone in the harem, and it was engraved with the words 'The harem shall not interfere in politics!' The concubine is the head of the harem, how dare she violate the last order of Taizu?" Yin Guang smiled silently.

The emperor and empress took a group of eunuchs and palace maids to climb the Qianxiu Mountain in the imperial garden and enjoy the flowers together. Qianxiu Mountain is made of Taihu Lake stones, the mountain is quite steep, Yin Guang while climbing, while looking at a pine tree with a strange shape like a strange dragon on the mountain, sighed: "I like the Panlong pine on this Qianxiu Mountain the most! I wanted to climb it when I was young, but my father was not allowed, for fear that I would fall." Later, when I grew up, after I became an emperor and ascended the throne, I still climbed it myself and fulfilled my childhood wish!"

Chu Fengying said with a smile: "You boys, you are always naughty and naughty, like when the concubine was young, she was closed in the embroidery pavilion at home every day, and the gate was not allowed to go out, and you were very happy to go to the garden to relax occasionally!"

The two were gossiping, and a steward eunuch Fu Wang rushed to report, knelt on the ground and took two folds, "Your Majesty, there is a secret fold between the eldest princess of Qingchuan and General Jiangling!" Yu Fu stepped forward, took the fold, and handed it to Yin Guang. Yin Guang had already instructed before, as long as it was folded, it could be presented at any time. Yin Guang took the two secret folds, opened them one by one and read them, nodding while reading.

After reading it, Yin Guang turned his head sideways and said, "It was Jiang Yongchun and my aunt who explained to me that Tang Jiusheng did not join the Demon Sect and became a deputy sect leader. My aunt has been living in Weiwang's Mansion with Xin Juma recently, and she knows a lot about the affairs of Weiwang's Mansion, so it is understandable that she wrote to defend Tang Jiusheng. Jiang Yongchun doesn't seem to be able to go on this fold, isn't he afraid that he will be suspicious of him and befriend the vassal king?"

Chu Fengying hurriedly lifted her coat and knelt in front of Yin Guang, "Your Majesty, the concubines heard that the monarch is a virtuous minister, since the emperor is a rare Ming monarch since the ages, Jiang Yongchun is naturally willing to take the risk of being said to befriend the vassal king to defend Tang Jiusheng, everyone knows that the emperor is magnanimous and benevolent, and the ministers naturally have no worries!

Yin Guangda was overjoyed, and put his hands together and said: "Okay! The queen mother is really my good wife, I am very relieved! In this way, I see that Tang Jiusheng has become the deputy sect leader of the Demon Heaven Sect, it seems that this Wan Deyan really wants to harm Tang Jiusheng, in the future, if I doubt Tang Jiusheng again, don't forget to remind me!"

Chu Fengying kowtowed and said: "Thank you for the emperor's love, as the queen, how dare the concubine not do her best to assist the emperor!"

While the two were talking, a blue-eyed carrier pigeon circled in mid-air and landed in Yu Fu's hand. Yu Fu took out a letter from the bamboo tube on the pigeon's feet and respectfully presented it to Yin Guang. Yin Guang took the letter, unfolded it, and nodded while reading: "I originally believed in Tang Jiusheng for eight points, but now, the letter is ten points!"

Chu Fengying smiled and said, "Whose letter is this? It is also for Tang Jiusheng?"

Yin Guang was relieved: "It was our eldest princess of the plains who sent a letter to testify for Tang Jiusheng, I don't believe in others, can I still not believe my own sister? It's really nine lives in trouble, and all directions come to help. The emperor has nothing to doubt now, and the fake can't be true.

Chu Fengying suddenly felt a little shy, bit her lip and said, "Your Majesty, you haven't been to the concubine's Kunde Palace for more than a month, do you want to sit down tonight?"

Yin Guang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "Okay, I'll go to your Kunde Palace tonight to sit down, but the queen mother has to prepare wine and food for me!"
