Maybe it was because of Zhuge Chen's lofty spirit, or maybe their general had died in the hands of the young man in white, in short, because of fear, these soldiers who should have obeyed the order chose to stand by in the end, watching the barefoot monk and Zhuge Chen walk down the city wall, walk slowly on the main road of the imperial capital, and slowly move away.

Looking at the corpse in the middle hall, the adjutant general sighed and said to the soldiers beside him: "Quickly clean up the general's corpse, and send someone to write a letter to the general's mansion and the palace." The first letter is whatever you want to say, just be decent. As for the second letter, it is said that we have encountered an enemy that we cannot solve at all, so we have put aside our own relations and asked for reinforcements from the royal family. ”

With that, the lieutenant general, who had just stepped into the middle hall, walked towards the door. When he arrived at a place where no one was around, a scholar wearing a scarf quietly came behind him and said softly: "Is the general's death really as simple as it seems?"

The adjutant general said with a smile: "What do you mean by the military advisor, you shouldn't be suspicious of me, right? Indeed, as long as the general is there, I will always be a deputy general who has to stand behind others, and I will never come out." But the barefoot monk is not something that one of my lieutenants can reach, let alone the young man who even the living Buddha respects. It can only be said that this is a catastrophe that should be in the general's life, where can I be blamed?"

The scholar sneered and said, "But you got what you wanted." ”

"That's true. The adjutant general did not hide his smile at all, turned around and said: "Time is also fate, after some hard work, I finally came out." ”

......

In the main hall of the palace, the lights were bright, and the young man sitting on the dragon chair had a pale face and looked at a letter in his hand. After a long time, he exhaled his breath and slammed his fist on the table. The sudden sound frightened the palace maids in the main hall trembling, and they all lowered their heads one by one, not daring to look at the emperor who finally held the real power in their own hands.

"He is a eunuch, he has grown up in the palace since he was a child, how can he know such a young man who can be called an immortal? And that ascetic, doesn't he ignore the world, why does he jump out at this time, and he also wants to fight against me?" By the young emperor's side, he was his favorite imperial concubine. Born naturally, she is glamorous, and her appearance has the characteristics of a woman in the water town of Jiangnan, which is unforgettable.

At this moment, the imperial concubine picked up the white fungus soup in her hand, held the silver spoon and put it to the young emperor's mouth, and said in a gentle voice: "Eat first and suppress the fire in your heart, and you can discuss anything with the ministers." Now that His Majesty has taken over the power, even the Chitose has been placed under house arrest, and the rest ...... Aren't you a casual clown?"

The young emperor's constricted brows stretched slightly because of these words, but he still shook his head stubbornly, but under the insistence of the imperial concubine, he still had to drink the white fungus soup, which made his heart and lungs that were burned by fire because of the pent-up anger feel a lot more comfortable. The young emperor looked at the woman beside him and said with a smile: "I am really lucky to be able to get a concubine!"

Concubine Xian chuckled, her eyes rippling, very charming: "How can Your Majesty say that? No matter what, it is the blessing of my concubine!"

As the young emperor waved his hand, the palace maids in the hall consciously retreated. After about a cup of tea, a few old ministers walked in. Several people first kowtowed and shouted long live, and then the young emperor gave them a seat and sat in front of the young emperor.

How smart the concubine who can be favored by the three thousand in the harem is, she naturally understands that these old ministers will discuss important matters with the young emperor next, so they randomly found a reason to leave the hall.

Several old ministers glanced at each other, and each saw a trace of the well-hidden appreciation for Concubine Xian from each other's eyes. It is actually very rare for a concubine to be so sensible and not disturb the rules of the harem. I don't know how many dynasties have been ruined by the king's obsession with beauty. While the young emperor pampered the concubine, not only did his own imperial spirit go to the next level, but also dealt with the daily government affairs without leakage.

The young emperor stared at Concubine Xian's back until he couldn't see it, and then he said, "How is it, I know people with a good eye, right?"

Several old ministers said one after another: "Your Majesty is the chosen son, is there a wrong time?"33

With these old ministers who have been following him, the young emperor did not always hold his emperor's shelf, but waved his hand to signal a few people to be exempt from flattery, and then put the letter on the table in front of the old ministers, and said in a deep voice: "Come and see, how to deal with this?"

There wasn't much on the letter, so it didn't take long for the ministers to imprint those words in their minds. For a young man who was born out of thin air and didn't know his origin, and it was a delicate time when the young emperor had to deal with a thousand years old, the meaning of several old ministers was, of course, to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. It's just that he is afraid that Zhuge Chen's side is not only followed by a barefoot monk, but also seems to be a very deterrent immortal monk himself. If one is not careful, he has set up two great enemies for the dream country, even if Chitose has solved it, in the final analysis, it will still do more harm than good.

Several old ministers pondered for a long time, but still couldn't find a proper way, until a grumpy prince of the state was normal, and scolded: "These dog-raised immortal monks, from the very beginning, should not be allowed to live in the world!"

His words expressed the thoughts of countless people in the temple.

The immortal monks are not only high, but also able to raise a bloody storm at every turn. And the original reason may be just a casual act after drinking. Is it ridiculous? Absolutely. The puppet was furious, and blood splattered three feet. The emperor was furious and ambushed millions of corpses. But what if the immortal monks are angry? I don't know how many emperors will follow with the funeral. Although Chitose and Jiang Wang are the top figures among the immortal monks, they are still a minority after all, and more will never obey the royal family. Their lifespan is already longer than that of mortals, and they can even witness the rise and fall of a dynasty. The royal family must also take into account their faces, otherwise it will be an unpreventable assassination.

The young emperor spoke: "That's true, but that's not what we're going to discuss now. But what if that young man stands in front of you and me at this moment, or waits until the day when he sends troops and horses to rush into the Chitose Mansion, and the young man stands in front of the palace with his sword?"

One of the old ministers opened his mouth and said: "Since there is no real power in the hands of Chitose now, why does Your Majesty want to tear his face with him? Not to mention the appearance of this young man now, even if there is not, I don't know how much of the strength of my dream country will be lost in this battle." No matter how you look at it, it is worth the loss. In my opinion, Your Majesty could have given him a death in Chitose as a manifestation of His Majesty's merciful Heart. ”

Another old minister shook his head and said: "I don't agree with what Wang Guogong said, what the old man said next may be a little ugly, but everything is the truth of reason. Your Majesty, can I speak?"

The young emperor, who had always been broad-minded, immediately smiled and said, "Of course you can." ”

The old minister continued: "You and I both know that in the past few decades, the dream country has been in the hands of Chitose. Even if he is a little weak now, it is just that few people know that he has returned to the imperial capital. If the news is released, he can still respond to every call. After all, in the hearts of those ignorant people, it is not our Majesty who has made the greatest contributions over the years, but it is this Chitose who has stolen real power! Therefore, I suggest that Your Majesty must show no mercy and must strangle the danger in the cradle. This is also what we, the courtiers, want to see, and we must no longer let the country and the society fall into the hands of people with foreign surnames!"

As for the last kind-looking old minister, he said with a smile: "Actually, in my opinion, there is no need to be so troublesome, just discuss with that young man, let's promise not to kill Chitose, and let him not enter the imperial capital again." In this way, not only does it save unnecessary wear and tear of soldiers and horses, but it can also buy the face of a young immortal monk, why not? Of course, how to do it in the end has to be handed over to Your Majesty. I will obey and will not complain!"

Three old ministers, three completely different ways, were placed in front of the young emperor. In the end, it is still up to him to decide.

The young emperor pointed to the table, listening to the crisp voice. Putting everything aside and saying that he was an emperor, he certainly preferred the third option. It's just that the former sense of powerlessness has been oppressing Jean, making him unable to make a decision at all. How could the eunuch who was crowned a thousand years old be able to hold real power for so many years and make him an emperor a puppet. And now that he has tasted the taste of power, where can he easily let go? Even if it is only the slightest possibility, he will not let go of the opportunity to be killed.

Sighing, the young emperor said softly: "Then according to the original plan, this time Chitose must be killed." Not only that, but I also want to leave that young man in our Dream Kingdom Imperial Capital forever!, just in case, a few more people will be sent from the army, and I will personally invite Jiang Wang to let him participate in this hunt. As for Zuo Yichun, the scholar mentioned by Guogong earlier, as long as he is willing to participate, I will grant him all requests as long as they are not too excessive. I'm here to see how to deal with the people who stand at the peak of the immortal monks with me, as well as tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, Chitose and that young man!"

The minister bowed yes and exited the hall.

"I ...... Is there really nothing wrong with that?" Looking at the top of his head, the young emperor said softly: "But the feeling I once had, I was dead, and I didn't want to experience it again." ”
