Li Taibai is not a member of the Three Sects, so he was inevitably a little upset when he heard this, and then interrupted the young Taoist who was going to continue, "If you have something to say, just say it, and let it go if you have a fart." ”

The young Taoist smiled, "I came to talk to Taibai's seniors, can you stop making trouble with Ding Hongsheng in the near future?"

Li Taibai squinted his eyes and glanced at the young Taoist priest in a Taoist robe, "Why, when is Yuan Tiangang's apprentice going to speak for the people in the Demon Sect." ”

The young Taoist priest explained: "It's not like that, the dust master of the small Buddha Temple has recently dispersed the heavenly machine, the people in the three religions are miserable, and the number of qi in the rivers and lakes has traces of convergence towards the court. ”

"And Taibai seniors recognized that the sword is the most lethal, a sword is handed out, the heavenly machine is chaotic again, in the next only ask Taibai seniors not to find trouble with people with a number of qi, of course, if there are people who don't open their eyes to find Taibai seniors' heads, I haven't been here today. ”

Li Taibai, who was lying on the branch, sneered, "When the old man takes out the sword and asks you to take care of it." ”

Li Taibai, who was a little out of the dust, said very domineeringly at the moment: "Boy, if you don't accept it, you beat me." ”

The figure of the helpless young Taoist on the side gradually became thin and began to slowly dissipate, "Xiaodao doesn't mean like this, I just hope that Taibai's predecessors will focus on the overall situation." ”

Li Taibai swung a sword again, and the young Taoist grew his mouth, and before he could say the last words, he quickly dissipated between heaven and earth, "If you fucking Mr. Wudang and the old man talk about these things, the old man will think about it, you are an apprentice of an old turtle, and the little turtle wants to stop the old man from taking out the sword, and he is impatient." ”

After Li Taibai took out the sword, the sword energy between heaven and earth was full, and the old man who was not hiding his sword path slowly stood up, and on the land of Shuzhou, everyone's ears exploded, "Ding Hongsheng, old man Li Taibai, this sword will send you out of Shuzhou." ”

On the land of Shuzhou, another sword rose from the earth, cut through the sky, and went in a certain direction, while Li Taibai, who was lying on the branches, disappeared without a trace and dissipated between heaven and earth again.

Chang'an City, Xu Mansion.

After dinner, Lao Guogong was in a rare interest, and took the old butler who had followed him for many years to take a walk on the street, accompanied by a guard sent by his eldest son.

Walking on the street, Lao Guogong couldn't help but think of when he just came out of himself and Taizu, and a group of brothers entered this Chang'an City, he was also in the same wind and sunshine on a beautiful night, Taizu, he was also the Ye madman who likes to play drunk on weekdays, when the three of them stood at the head of the city, facing the moat and began to pee farther than anyone, and took over himself but firmly occupied the first, as for Taizu was very sorry to rank second, that Ye Maniac was third, and the next day Ye Maniac said that he drank too much yesterday and didn't count, and shouted that he had to compete again.

The old man was on crutches, and after walking a few steps, he began to get a little tired, and he sat on a stone bridge with him, opening his somewhat cloudy eyes, wanting to take a good look at this Chang'an City.

"Old, I'm starting to gasp after a few steps. ”

The old housekeeper on the side had to bow his head, not daring to speak, some things the old man himself said yes, outsiders can't, it is precisely because he knows this that the old housekeeper can be a housekeeper in the Xu family for so many years, in recent years, it is because of his age, he has served by the old man's side, and he is not in charge of the affairs of the house, but the sons of the old man have some respect for his old man.

The guard stood aside, always paying attention to everything around him, and the old man smiled, this kid was the same as his eldest son, he didn't know how to be flexible.

Suddenly, the flow of people near the stone bridge began to decrease, and gradually there was no shadow of a single person on the street. At the corner of the street, a bright red sedan chair slowly appeared, came to the stone bridge, and slowly fell.

A person walked out of it, and the old housekeeper and the guards looked at the person who came blankly, this Prime Minister Zhang who was under the Ming Dynasty and above 10,000 people.

The old man didn't even raise his eyelids, he put his head on crutches in both hands, and just quietly looked at the empty street.

Zhang Juzheng's official robe, first let him just come out of the Hanlin Academy. After Zhang Juzheng was silent for a moment, he waved his hand to shield the left and right. The old housekeeper and the guard glanced at each other, and after seeing that the old man did not make any moves, he looked at Zhang Juzheng very embarrassed.

"You go down first, I have something to say to the old man. ”

Where did the old butler and the guards dare to make the slightest move, but the old man, who had been silent for a long time, finally nodded, and after getting the answer, the old butler and the guard let out a long breath and hurriedly walked away from the stone bridge.

Zhang Juzheng was sitting on the stone bridge, and he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Zhang Juzheng did a position slightly behind the old Guogong, but he could see the scene of Chang'an City with the old Guogong.

"What is Lord Zhang looking for the old man?"

Zhang Juzheng tidied up the sleeves of his official robe, quietly looked at the street, after night, although there was no curfew, but because of Zhang Juzheng's arrival just now, the street was cleared, and there was no pedestrian on the road, just a few lights fluttering in the wind at the corner of the street.

"Boss, today's Imperial Study of Your Majesty received an excerpt after Your Majesty left. ”

The old man sighed softly, obviously not in high spirits.

"Then you should talk to Your Majesty, what do you have to do with the old man. ”

Zhang Juzheng, who was a little deflated, laughed and was not angry, "The old man knows what is written on this fold." ”

After that, Zhang Juzheng silently took out the fold that should have existed in the imperial study and His Majesty's desk from his arms and handed it to Xu Tiande.

The old man glanced at it lightly and did not reach out to take it.

"Why are you Zhang Juzheng even now

You can take the folds out of the imperial study at will?"

"This is a copy, and the real excerpt is still in the imperial study. ”

Hearing this, Xu Tiande snorted coldly, and finally took the fold in Zhang Juzheng's hand and slowly unfolded it in his hand.

The content of the excerpt is outrageous: under the rule of King Liang, a group of border soldiers slaughtered more than a dozen villages, falsely claiming to encounter the Northern Qi army, beheading all of them, and using the heads of the people to fill the war merits.

In the Ming Dynasty, each vassal king had his own army, and these were their rights as vassal kings. These armies nominally belonged to the Ming Dynasty, but in fact they were their private armies, so all expenses and military merits were determined by the vassal king himself, which is why the Ming Emperor insisted on cutting the domain. But if the Ming Emperor was attacked or besieged, the armies of these vassal kings were responsible for protecting the Ming Emperor's safety.

For a long time, the old man who had seen the excerpt slowly handed the excerpt to Zhang Juzheng, looked at the flickering lights in the distance, and said nothing.

"Is it true in the excerpt?"

Zhang Juzheng put the fold back in his arms, "I don't know, Jinyiwei sent someone to check." ”

The old man was a little angry, and slammed the crutches in his hand on the ground, "This group of people really don't want to live, dare to do this kind of thing, the old man is not dead, really I don't have the ability to kill them?"

Zhang Juzheng can understand the mood of the old man, as an old man who has been in the army for half his life, he is extremely disgusted by this situation.

"Who handed this fold?"

"A local county order is a student of Chao Cuo, who wrote a blood letter and handed it into the hands of Chao Cuo, according to Chao Cuo's character, he will definitely go to the book and ask the emperor to investigate strictly. ”

The old man turned his head sharply, looked at Zhang Juzheng, and had a bad idea in his heart.

"It's a conspiracy. ”

Zhang Juzheng showed a smile and looked at the old man who suddenly realized, "Yes, this is a poisonous plan against Chao Cuo's request to cut the domain." ”

This person knew Chao Cuo's upright character very well, so he concluded that after Chao Cuo saw the blood book, he would definitely play the emperor. The old man sighed slightly, after being angry, it was inevitable that he would be a little tired, but what was even more tired was the disappointment in his heart.

"Can you tell whose hand it is?"

"There is a temple in Chang'an City, called Jiming Temple, and in Jiming Temple... ”

"Enough. ”

The old man on the side interrupted Zhang Juzheng's words, he didn't believe it, and he couldn't believe that the old monk who had retired a long time ago would do such a thing, and he couldn't believe that the old monk who admired the official the most would personally take action to knock down a loyal and outspoken imperial history into the dust.

You must know that if this excerpt is seen by the Ming Emperor the next day, it will instantly stimulate the contradiction between the Ming Emperor and the Seven Great Vassal Kings, and after that, the Ming Dynasty will fall into endless wars.
