Your Majesty! This court has left the old ministers, who will lead the ministers? Who can share your worries?

Zhang Song was shouting in his heart, but if he dared to say a word at this time, it would be a crime of disobedience, and he would be put on a hat that disregarded the safety of the world and did not focus on the overall situation.

Looking at Xiao Yu's upright figure, Zhang Song's face changed suddenly, could it be that he did all this, why did he do this? In order to lure himself away, what was his purpose?

Wait, the crown prince.

In this short period of time, Zhang Song thought too much and figured out the key to it.

It's hateful, he knows the other party's intentions, but he doesn't even have room to refute.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Xiao Tianshi is more suitable to be this candidate, since Xiao Tianshi has the ability to understand all things, and has the ability to go through the heavens and latitudes, I am afraid that repairing the enchantment will be captured, it will not take three years, three months will be enough, right, Xiao Tianshi." ”

The aging on the side finally spoke.

Before Xiao Yu could refute, Chen Hua said again: "Besides, Zhang Yuan is over sixty years old, how can he withstand the hardships of this long journey, if there is a good one, it will be a great loss to my Western Calendar Kingdom, Your Majesty, please think twice." ”

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

"We all think that Xiao Tianshi is the most suitable place to go. ”

“.....”

This time, the ministers made a concerted effort to intercede for Zhang Song.

Damn, these bastards, Xiao Yu scolded his mother angrily, especially the aging general, which is really hateful.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Zhang Yuanshou once swore that the suffering of all the people is my suffering, and I have died after doing my best for the livelihood of all the people, and now the enchantment seems to be broken, and once the enchantment is broken, how can the people survive? ”

"Heavenly Master said it well, if I don't give Zhang Aiqing this opportunity, I am really ashamed of all the people, and this matter is so decided. Zhang Aiqing, there is a long way to go, and the lives of tens of millions of Li people in my western country depend on you. ”

"This...."

Zhang Song almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, glared at Xiao Yu's back hatefully, and then resigned himself to his fate: "The minister takes the order!"

Chen Hua wanted to say something, but when he saw Zhang Song wink, he was willing to give up.

After retreating from the court, Xiao Yu was stopped by Xi Ze.

"Heavenly Master, what do you mean?"

Nishizawa is not a fool, he was able to cooperate with Xiao Yu to play this time, but it was for the sake of Xiao Yu that he could help him repair the enchantment.

As a result, Xiao Yu took out an account book and handed it over, saying, "Although Chu'er doesn't care about the government, she doesn't want to see traitors controlling the court, and she asked me to transfer it to Your Majesty." ”

The ledger was prepared when Qing decided to make this game at the beginning of the month, and it was full of evidence of Zhang Song's corruption and bribery for many years.

"It turned out to be the national teacher, the national teacher has a heart, and I am really fortunate that the Western Calendar Country can get the help of the national teacher and the heavenly teacher!"

"Your Majesty has overdone it. ”

"Heavenly Master, the half-moon period is almost coming, can you accompany me to see the hunting boss selection competition held this time?"

This competition is not only as simple as selecting and testing the coach, but also a competition for the preliminary selection of the prince, and it will definitely be a battle for the dragon at that time.

"It's an honor!"

In fact, it is so easy to get rid of an important minister of the imperial court, thanks to the cooperation of the emperor, Xi Ze; Zhang Song's alliance with the party and his personal interests have long become a thorn in Xi Ze's side, but because of Zhang Song's intertwined relationship in the court, the so-called involvement of the whole body will be moved.

Xiao Yu invited people away without bloodshed, which was exactly what Xi Ze wanted, as long as the people were not in the court, then he would have time to slowly remove these tumors.

There is only one martial artist left, Chen Hua, I believe that Xiao Yu will start soon, and when the time comes, he will cooperate with one or two to get back the military power.

As for his eldest son Xi Qin, he doesn't like it, he is rigid and self-serving, and his tolerance is narrow, which is not of great use.

It's a pity that the second son has no intention of taking the throne, if he can borrow Xiao Yu's hand this time and push him to the throne in one fell swoop, he will also be happy to see it.

Xiao Yu went down to the court, but found that it was raining lightly outside, the light rain was like silk, and it was cold and delicate on his face, and he had not seen rain in the cultivation world for hundreds of years, so he felt strange at this time, so he walked towards Cao Zhen's mansion in the rain.

The competition is about to be held, and if the second prince has no support, everything will be in vain.

Cao Zhen was busy taking care of his wife after he got off the court, and now he is over forty years old.

What he does every day now is to go up and down, go home to take care of his wife, only one daughter under his knees, or stay in the boudoir, and his life is not bad, but his ambition has long been exhausted.

While thinking about it, he fed his wife medicine, and as soon as he finished feeding the medicine, he saw the housekeeper come in and say that Xiao Tianshi asked to see him.

Cao Zhen refused without thinking about it: "No." ”

It's just that he suddenly thought of the scene in the court, and Xiao Yu was teaching in the academy of the national teacher, so he immediately changed his mind and said: "Take him to the study, and I'll come later." ”

"Master, who is Xiao Tianshi?"

"A soothsayer, Madame need not worry. ”

It's just that I don't know why this Xiao Tianshi suddenly came to him, and today he suddenly brought Zhang Song to Vermilion Bird City in the south in the court, which can be described as very happy.

Thinking about it, he had already arrived at the study, and when he pushed the door, he saw Xiao Yu looking around.

"Why does Xiao Tianshi have time to come to my mansion as a guest?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yu turned around and looked at Cao Zhen, the secretary of the military department, but his appearance looked upright, without those corrupt official tones.

It's best to get straight to the point when dealing with this kind of person, and don't use those twists and turns, otherwise it will only backfire.

"The selection of the hunting coach is imminent, I wonder if Cao Shangshu has any candidates?"

Cao Zhen first stared at him, and then returned to his original state, still so carelessly: "This official is soft-spoken, although he occupies the position of a scholar, but what he says is not as effective as a squire below, Xiao Tianshi is afraid that he has come to the wrong place, right? ”

"Now that Zhang Song is gone, Wenchen will take Qin Shangshu as the head of the horse in the future, some time ago I and Qin Shangshu were like-minded, and they drank and talked happily in the drunken smoke pavilion, he said, the whole court can make him look up to Cao Shangshu, saying that Cao Shangshu is upright, he is a pillar of the court, but there are obstacles in the way, and the ambition to serve the country is difficult to pay, but it is a pity, a pity. ”

Speaking of the sore spots, Cao Zhen was already depressed, but he couldn't figure out where Xiao Yu came from, so he didn't dare to respond rashly.

"If Xiao Tianshi came to see Cao's jokes, forgive Cao for not accompanying him, come here, send..."

"Don't worry, Cao Shangshu misunderstood. ”

Cao Zhen looked at Xiao Yu coldly, waiting for what he said.

Xiao Yu said: "Qin Shangshu and Cao Shangshu are both ministers of the imperial court, dedicated to the country and the people, this is the blessing of all the people of the Western Calendar, if it is consumed, it will be a loss, seeing that the prince is about to be selected, and I think the prince does not have the appearance of the son of heaven, and there is no room for people, once the prince sits in that position, Cao Shangshu, where do you think you should go in the future? Don't forget that Chen Hua is the person of the great prince." ”

As Xiao Yu said, once the eldest prince Xiqin becomes the emperor, he will definitely be reused, and he will never be able to come out of nowhere.

Although his current situation is similar, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he has to fight for it, so as not to regret it for life.

But things in the court are changing rapidly, and the slightest carelessness is a catastrophe, so does this make him gamble or not?

Xiao Yu had been watching his reaction. Seeing his hesitant look at this time, he immediately added some fierce medicine and said: "I, the national teacher, and Qin Shangshu are all on the side of the second prince, doesn't Cao Shangshu want to clear the monarch's side and reshape the dynasty?"

"National teacher, doesn't the national teacher ignore the affairs of the court, how can it be?"

"The second prince is kind-hearted, although he has no intention of the emperor, but the matter is man-made, the eldest prince gave him a blood curse and wanted to put him to death, so he will definitely be able to arouse the second prince's desire to win. At that time, as long as you, me, and Qin Shangshu support, Your Majesty can rest assured that you will be able to set up a candidate for the crown prince. ”

"But what if the selection of the second prince fails?"

"Don't worry about this, the second prince has both ability and political integrity, which can be described as both civil and military. ”

"This, let me think about it, and then give a reply to the Heavenly Master?"

It is impossible to persuade Cao Zhen just based on Xiao Yu's words, no matter how Cao Zhen has been crawling and rolling in the officialdom for so many years, whether it is for the way of the official or for the world, he has his own scale, and weighing the pros and cons is the most important thing.

"Oh, by the way, I heard that Cao Shangshu's wife has been sick for many years, and I have a prescription that will definitely cure your wife. ”

After that, he handed the prescription that Qingyue handed to him at the beginning of the month to Cao Zhen, who was stunned.

"Sir, this is?"

Xiao Yu smiled faintly and said, "What, if Cao Shangshu can't believe it, you can find more doctors to verify it." Okay, I've already said everything I need to say, and I ask Cao Shangshu to give me a reply before the competition and say goodbye. ”

After Xiao Yu left, Cao Zhen reacted and immediately called the housekeeper and asked the housekeeper to find more doctors to verify the prescription.

If it really works, then he owes a lot of favor! But so what, as long as he can cure his beloved wife, even if the sky falls, he can hold on.

Out of Caofu, the light rain is still falling, so it seems that this is about to enter autumn.

After getting Qin Yi and Cao Zhen done, Xiao Yu thought about how to pull Chen Hua off the horse.

Chen Hua has 100,000 black armor troops in his hands, which is very difficult to do, and even Nishizawa is afraid of three points of people, which is not so easy to deal with. Although this person is a martial artist, he is thick and thin, otherwise it would be impossible to sit in the position of general of Zhenguo.

The hunting competition is imminent, and Chen Hua will definitely accompany him when the time comes, what will happen if he suddenly loses his mind and wants to murder Nishizawa?

In an instant, Xiao Yu thought of this possibility.

Excited, he rushed to the academy, as long as he could get the hair and nails of the aging at the beginning of the month, he would be able to descend, so that he would lose his mind on the same day, as long as he was charged with murdering the monarch and plotting rebellion in front of all the civil and military officials, he would not be far from death, and no one could save him.

But this is also risky, if Nishizawa is really killed, then the matter will be a big deal.

I haven't practiced internal strength, and I'm afraid that I won't be the opponent of Chen Hua, a general, at that time.

As an emperor, Nishizawa doesn't know how martial arts are?

To be on the safe side, it's better to ask someone about it.

Just as he was thinking, a figure stood in front of him, holding an umbrella in his hand, looking at him quietly.

At this moment, Xiao Yu suddenly felt that the rain was really good, and slowly came to Qingyue's side, Xiao Yu took the umbrella and helped hold it up, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and asked knowingly, "What are you doing here?"

It's not far from the academy, but Xiao Yu thinks this journey can be longer.

Qingyue took out a handkerchief and handed it to Xiao Yu, saying, "Wipe it, your face is covered with rain." ”

Taking the handkerchief and smelling the fragrance that belonged to the first month of love, Xiao Yu wiped it and said, "You haven't told me what you're doing here." ”

"If you don't come back for a few days, I just want to see how long you can stay in the Drunken Smoke Pavilion, it's better to go to that kind of place less in the future, it's not good for you to practice if you are contaminated with vulgar dust. ”

"Doing what he likes, it's just to win over some ministers, by the way, how is Nishizawa's martial arts?"

Qingyue raised her head slightly, just as Xiao Yu turned her head, the two looked at each other, and then looked away.

"Xi Ze practiced the royal family's unique secret book slashing immortal swordsmanship, which is said to be left by the first Western monarch, and the things left by the combined power will naturally not be bad, as for Xi Ze's internal strength, I don't know very well. What does this do, you ask. ”

"I have already won over Qin Yi and Cao Zhen, as well as several ministers, these people have expressed their willingness to support the second prince, and now I have set up a bureau to get Zhang Song to the southern Vermilion Bird City, as long as the hunting competition is carried out, Chen Hua will do something to Xi Ze, and then Chen Hua can be eradicated, and then the blame will be put on the eldest prince. When the eldest prince loses the qualification to be the crown prince, he must be unwilling, and all this will go according to your assumption. ”

"Xi Ze is angry, the eldest prince will definitely be thrown into prison, and if he loses Zhang Song and Chen Hua, how can he rebel?"

Xiao Yu smiled faintly and said, "Black Armor Army, as long as you hand over the Black Armor Army's talisman to him." ”

"You think more than I do, but how do you get Chen Huaxing to stab Nishizawa?"

"So I'm coming to you this time, just to ask you to find the aged hair and nails, just give him a drop and make him look crazy. ”

"Falling again?"

Qing Yue was really a little resistant to this disgraceful behavior.

"This is the most effective and direct method, only to make Chen Hua lose his mind, it is a serious crime to assassinate the Son of Heaven, and it is not too much to destroy his nine clans, so that those ministers will not dare to intercede for him. ”

Suddenly, Xiao Yu thought of something, so he asked: "By the way, what is the situation on the second prince's side? Don't be ready at that time, he dropped the chain for the little master, then wouldn't all this be in vain! After falling under the blood curse of his own brother, the second prince should be resentful even if he has a big heart, right?"

"Don't worry, today he came to me and asked me if I could enter the court if he became the prince and became the emperor in the future. ”

"What do you say?"

"It's just that if he thinks about it, if he refuses all at once, it will only backfire if he loses confidence. ”

Xiao Yu laughed secretly, even the woman he hadn't done yet, this kid wanted to be beautiful, and he was delusional about the toad eating swan meat.

After dinner, Xiao Yu went back to his small courtyard, the same as when he left, but in the past few days of leaving, there was not even a little dust in the house, obviously Qingyue helped him clean it.

There was a touch of emotion in my heart.

In the middle of the night, Xiao Yu was sleeping in a daze, and suddenly heard a crisp sound from next door, which immediately woke him up from his dream.

Xiao Yu pushed the door out without thinking about it, and when he came to the courtyard at the beginning of the love month, he happened to see the candlestick overturned to the ground, and there was also a person wearing a night suit lying on the ground.

Xiao Yu walked up quickly, and saw Qing Yue, who was dressed in night clothes, lying on the ground, with a striking sword wound on the back shoulder, and blood stains continued to flow out at this time.

Xiao Yu picked the person up from the ground and found that Qingyue had fallen into a coma.

"Chu'er woke up, what's going on, why is it hurt?"

Qing Yue naturally can't answer him now.

Putting the person on the bed, Xiao Yu found that she was still holding something in her hand, and when she took it out, she was wrapped in a handkerchief with a strand of hair and nails, and a note with her birthday written on it.

Xiao Yu came to his senses, and felt that this dead woman broke into the aging general's mansion overnight, for this.

Xiao Yu was angry and distressed, and after taking the things, he found a bottle of gold sore medicine on the table, and was just about to untie the other party's clothes, but he suddenly woke up at the beginning of the year, and saw Xiao Yu's hand on his clothes.

"What do you want to do?"

Holding his shirt with one hand, his tone was a little difficult, but his attitude was very resolute.

"If you're hurt, I'm going to bandage your wounds. ”

"No, I'll do it myself. ”

Hearing her say this, Xiao Yu directly let go and got up, and then looked at her with his hands on his chest.

Qing Yueqiao's face was pale and sweating at this time, obviously hurting a lot.

"What are you still standing here for? Get out. ”

"You can't even lift your hands, how can you bandage them. ”

"You don't care. ”

He didn't like this the most, and the more the other party rejected him thousands of miles away, the more unhappy he became. I don't know where the evil aura came from, it should be anger, Xiao Yu grabbed Qingyue's hands, and then turned the person over, just like that, he pressed Qingyue on the bed.

"What do you do?"

"Sting!"

only heard the sound of tears of clothes, Xiao Yu didn't care about any pity for the jade, and tore the night clothes at the beginning of the love month.

"Xiao Yu, you bastard, the deity is going to kill you!"

"Shut up!"

"Woooooooooo

Stuffing the torn clothes directly into Qingyue's small mouth, Xiao Yu was quiet for a moment.

It wasn't until the medicine was taken and the bandaging was completed that Xiao Yu put the quilt on the side of Qingyue.

"It's not like I've never seen it, as for such a big reaction, you should rest first. ”

After that, he let go of the hand that was clamping Qingyue, and then slipped away in her angry eyes.

Back in his small courtyard, Xiao Yu was completely sleepy for a while, thinking that it was still early in the morning, so he made a rag doll.

Although I don't know how Qing Yue got Chen Hua's birthday at the beginning of the month, I am afraid that I can't hide the matter of breaking into the General's Mansion at night, and I don't know if I will find out if I will find out the academy.

However, with the prestige of this national teacher in the Western Calendar Country at the beginning of the month, there should be no one who is not long-sighted to check it.

This descent is different from the blood curse of the second prince, it is much more troublesome to make Chen Hua lose his mind at a fixed time, create the illusion of losing his mind, and assassinate Nishizawa according to his thoughts.

Now there are still five days before the hunting competition, and there is still time to do it, what Xiao Yu has to do now is to carve the spell pattern with his own blood, then burn it to ashes, and then pour it into a bowl containing his blood, and then soak it with a silver needle;

For four days in a row, Xiao Yu avoided the beginning of the love month, afraid that the other party would cut him with a sword, he was also worried that the other party was not at that time, so comforted himself, and soon ushered in a hunting competition.

In the competition, it is not only to test the two princes, but also to select military generals.

Xiao Yu followed Xi Ze and Chen Hua and others, and went to Zhu Guotai.

Zhuguotai is also called Dianjiangtai, which is the school ground for the soldiers of the Western Calendar Kingdom to gather and train before going out.

And Xiao Yu's role is to give blessings, as a heavenly master, he needs to give blessings to all the generals who won the competition, that is, to say some words of encouragement on behalf of the Son of Heaven.

At this time, Zhu Guotai was surrounded by ordinary people, and the selection of generals was not selected from this group of people, but from the students of the two major academies.

"Chen Aiqing, I heard that there have been assassins in your general's mansion recently, have you caught them?"

There was still some time before the start of the competition, and Xiao Yu was thinking about when to start, when he heard Nishizawa's words, he glanced at Chen Hua with his spare eyes.

"Back to Your Majesty's words, not yet, but the assassin was hit by Wei Chen's splitting sword qi, as long as the assassin appeared, the sword in Wei Chen's hand would react immediately. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Hua deliberately glanced at Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu's heart jumped, and he didn't know if it was true or not, if after the beginning of the month, the sword hanging on his waist really reacted, it would not be good.

But now is not the time to think about that.

"General Chen, what are you watching me do? Don't you suspect that I am the assassin?"

"General Ben didn't say that, it's just that General Ben has a question and wants to explain it to Xiao Tianshi?"

"General, please. ”

"This assassin did not enter the palace to assassinate the general, but cut off a strand of his hair and fingernails. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Hua also deliberately stretched out his right hand, and sure enough, in a row of neatly trimmed nails, the nails on the index finger were significantly shorter than those on the other fingers.

"General Ben heard that those who ask for these two things are generally for people to descend, I wonder if it's true?"

Xiao Yu shook his head and said: "This is not necessarily, the so-called body hair and skin, the parents, this assassin must have offended the general by doing this, it must be that the general has offended people who should not be offended, so it is not necessary to humiliate the general like this." ”

"Oh, and this weird thing? This assassin must be a wonderful man, haha..."

Nishizawa, who was listening with relish, couldn't help but laugh.

Chen Hua was ridiculed by Xiao Yu like this, his face was a little unpleasant, and he was constantly scolding Xiao Yu in his heart. This bullshit Xiao Tianshi is really cunning, and he can even talk about this kind of bullshit.
