Chapter 240: Above the Court
Zheng He sneered disdainfully, waved his hand at everyone and said, "Generals, see you in the court tomorrow."
Seeing that he gave the order to disperse, everyone present immediately complied and scattered, only a small number of people in the leadership rank stared at the rings of Wei Zhongxian and Yao Guangxiao on Zheng He's hand, and they still had no confidence in their hearts.
"Don't worry, this thing is definitely safer to put here than Yao Guangxiao and Wei Zhongxian, go with peace of mind."
Zheng He eradicated the national teacher in one go, and now he has evidence of corruption and perversion of the law by hundreds of officials, which can be said to be a real person under ten thousand people, and no one dares to be verbose anymore, so they can only disperse.
"Boss, as you expected, the people of the national teacher will not fight with you, but will be loyal to you, congratulations."
Lu Yi saw that everyone was gone, and immediately bowed, congratulating Zheng He on winning the political enemy in one fell swoop, and no one dared to look at him from then on.
"Little brother, the first time I saw you, I knew you were extraordinary. Especially if you know that the spirit body of the sea is extremely strong, I'm afraid you won't lose to me."
Zheng He told the truth in one sentence, and Lu Yi suddenly realized, remembering that when he met Zheng He for the first time, he secretly made such a big plan with Lu Yi, and destroyed Yao Guangxiao and Wei Zhongxian in one fell swoop.
Lu Yi has never figured out why the other party trusted him so much when they met for the first time, and left this difficult plan to himself.
"This Zheng He is not simple, although I am already a spirit body, but how to say that it is also the condensation of the qi of the fairyland, he can actually find me in the Heaven Breaking Tribulation Realm, but he really has some ability."
Lu Xun did not appear at the moment, but he reminded Lu Yi in Zhihai that he chose to stand on Zheng He's side, it seems that he chose the right one, the other party is not only strong in the realm, but also may hide a lot of outstanding features.
"Manager Zheng, what I promised you at the beginning has been done, and I don't know if it is you promised me."
Lu Yi rubbed his hands, Zheng He pursed his lips and smiled: "Don't worry, you have made such a great contribution, I will not forget, and the things I promised you will naturally be fulfilled."
After Zheng He finished speaking, he took out the big sunflower needle book left by Dongfang Yu just now, recorded a copy with Zhihai, and then waved his hand and threw it to Lu Yi.
"I promised you that when this matter is done, I will give you the Remnant Sun Spiritual Treasure to help you cultivate the Shine Sunflower Flower Ceremony to break through the Great Perfection, if you get another remnant of the Demon Sect, you and I will share it together, just now I have recorded a transcript, this original is taught by a real person, and I will give it to you."
Seeing that Zheng He did not break his promise and fulfilled his promise on the spot, Lu Yi's unresolved heart finally let go, he was afraid that the other party would turn his face and deny his account, and kill people with his hands.
"Boss, you can take this original, just give me a transcript, originally the creator himself taught it, and the comprehension is relatively fast, the transcription is too bad, I don't dare to ask for too much."
Lu Yi hurriedly saluted again and returned his original backhand to Zheng He, knowing that if he was greedy now, he would only let himself die faster.
Zheng He's eyes changed after hearing this, and he snorted appreciatively: "It seems that you still have a bit of a brain, you can use it."
After speaking, he threw the transcript to Lu Yi, the killing intent in his eyes gradually subsided, originally he was really ready to kill the other party, but now he changed his mind because of Lu Yi's words.
"Since you have chosen the ship, you will do your best, and a road will follow you to the dark."
Lu Yi didn't know that he had saved his life because of a detail, and once again spoke out to express his allegiance.
"Well, very good, very good, know the importance and know the proportion, I underestimate you, in this case, you will live with me in the Dragon Hall tonight, and accompany me to the court tomorrow, and I will give you a big gift."
After Zheng He finished speaking, he didn't wait any longer, and immediately turned around, Lu Yi didn't say much, and followed him smartly, and went to the Dragon Hall together.
He turned his head to look at the ruined Wei Zhongxian Mansion, and he was a little surprised, but in just one night, the national teacher and the factory duke who were in power were already dead.
Coming to the Mosaic Dragon Palace, Zheng He seemed to be preparing for tomorrow's court affairs, so he casually gave Lu Yi a residence and disappeared, leaving him to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead and sigh.
"Thank you, big brother, if you hadn't felt Zheng He's hidden murderous aura, I might have been really stupid to accept the original big sunflower needle."
"Okay, there is a crisis everywhere in the court, I was also mixed in the court of Wu back then, this little detail naturally can't hide from me, since you choose to follow Zheng He now, you have to pay attention, don't know how to die one day."
Lu Xun watched Lu Yi grow all the way, especially in the past few months, the wisdom shown by the other party made him very satisfied, the young man is finally not the reckless puppet he used to be, and he has a degree of outwitting and outwitting when encountering problems, which makes him more and more relaxed, and he doesn't have to help Lu Yi find a way to clean up trouble.
"Alas, it's just a pity that this big sunflower needle canon."
Lu Yi took the transcription of the remnants of the book, and looked at it in his consciousness for a long time, but he didn't understand how to use this method.
"The transcript is not taught by the original creator himself, so it is naturally difficult to read, but you can try fusion."
Hearing Lu Yi's bitter sigh, the voice of the system suddenly sounded, and Lu Yi replied with a bitter face after listening: "Brother system, you are finally a little useful at this time."
As soon as he finished speaking, a black hole appeared in front of him, and Lu Yi immediately threw the remnants into the black hole in the same way as last time.
"Please, be sure to bring me something good."
Lu Yi rubbed his hands and prayed secretly, inevitably feeling a little nervous in his heart, and now this feeling reminded him of the nervousness when he was playing games in the human world and upgrading his equipment.
Boom!
System prompt, system prompt.
"This remnant has exploded, this remnant has exploded".
"Blow up your uncle, Nima".
It didn't take long for the bad news to arrive.
Lu Yi was so angry that he smashed the tables and chairs in the room with one palm and jumped up.
It's a pity that no matter how he scolds, the system chooses to be silent at this time.
"Forget it, Lu boy, after all, this thing also helps you melt out the lost sword skills of Hengshan, there are gains and losses, your top priority is to use the spirit treasure given by Zheng He, and practice the remnants of the sunflower flower to talk about it."
Lu Xun saw that he scolded too badly, and had no choice but to stop him from continuing to scold.
"The remnants that I finally obtained, if I can practice all three remnants, my realm will rise greatly, this sinkhole system, alas."
Lu Yi's mouth was dry, he drank his saliva in disappointment, scratched his head, and could only close his mouth in distress and start cultivating.
The night passed quickly, and in the early morning of the second day, he ended his cultivation early and came to the gate of the main hall to wait for Zheng He.
Today, Zheng He also put on the red official uniform very early, and after taking care of it, he took Lu Yi to the palace to go to the court.
"I said little brother, you don't have to nod your head and act with me, I don't like this very much."
Along the way, Zheng He saw that Lu Yi was humble and polite, groveling, and shook his head to remind him that he didn't have to be like this.
Lu Yi shook his head and said: "My skill is taught by the chief manager, and in the future, I will saddle your horse and do my best, and there must be etiquette, and there is no room for slackness."
"That's up to you."
Zheng He's face was cold, he didn't look very happy, but in fact, he was very useful, seeing that Lu Yi knew the routine so well, the worry in his heart disappeared, he originally wanted Lu Yi to take over as the deputy supervisor of the East Factory, but after finding that the other party was very sensible, he changed his mind a little.
On the other side, above the court, the atmosphere was weird, and the civil and military officials present all arrived early, each of them lowered their heads, and they didn't even dare to breathe more than the atmosphere, and the hall was silent for a while.
Lu Yi followed Zheng He to the main hall, and this oppressive atmosphere also made him dare not say much, so he obediently stood beside Zheng He and came to the first row of the court.
Originally, with Zheng He's official rank, he could not be in the first row, but Zheng He was high enough and the highest person in the Ming Dynasty, so the emperor granted Zheng He's permission to be in the sixth position in the first row.
didn't wait too long, Zhu Di, the Yongle Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, his face was gloomy, he walked with his fists clenched, followed by his little eunuch sweating on his forehead, trotting all the way, as if he could feel that the emperor's anger was suppressed.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live".
At this moment, everyone knelt down, and their hearts were very panicked, and the events of last night had almost spread all over Chijing City.
"Someone, the general and commander of the Chijing garrison, give me a hundred canes first, and then say, the other two factories in the east and west, as well as the deputy leaders such as the Jinyi Guard and the Ouchi Guard, all call me and enter the prison to wait for the fall."
As soon as Zhu Di stepped into the dragon seat, the angry voice shocked the court, obviously suppressed for a long time.
"Your Majesty, everything last night was the responsibility of the minister, please allow the minister to do the work on his behalf, Zheng He is willing to be punished with a thousand rods, and will never use spiritual power to protect the body, and beat until death."
Zheng He didn't say much, and he opened his mouth to take all the blame, which shows that the method of employing people is very superb.
"Hmph, it's good that you know, as the head of the Inner Palace, you actually let my national teacher and Wei Factory die in vain, you Zheng He can't escape the blame, come and call me."
Zhu Di roared coldly, and several strong men suddenly rushed out of the door, walking with a giant stick in hand, the national teacher Yao Guangxiao was Zhu Di's most trusted confidant, and he died suddenly overnight, how could he accept it, and even he suspected that Yao Guangxiao's death was done by Zheng He.
After all, although the two are harmonious on the surface in the court, in fact, Zhu Di is also very clear that the two have been fighting viciously in private, and he did not stop it in the hope that the forces could be balanced, but this balance was broken overnight.
"Zheng He is willing to die, and the priest and Wei Changgong are in the spirit of the sky."
Zheng He took the initiative to walk out of his knees, took off his official hat and court clothes, and looked very sincere.
"Your Majesty may not".
"Your Majesty, we are willing to be punished for Chief Manager Zheng, this last night's incident, we are all to blame for being negligent."
"That's right, it was the untimely inspection of our garrison that led to such a tragedy."
Suddenly, the major generals, more than 1,000 households in the east and west factories, and others ran out to the back of the main hall, looking like no less than dozens of people, kneeling on the ground and undressing, and the scene became lively.
Lu Yi saw that everyone was acting well, and wanted to follow him immediately, but as soon as he took a step, he found that Zhu Di's eyes were wrong, and after thinking about it, Lu Yi immediately figured out the key to the problem, he stood still and did not stand out again.
"Your Majesty, now that the national teacher is deceased, and the Duke of Wei Chang is also dead, the chief steward is the patron saint of the sea to the top of my dynasty, he can't die, please be gracious to Your Majesty."
"Yes, this is the time when I am weak, if Manager Zheng dies again, I will be in danger."
Finally, the two most important cabinet ministers in the court, Yang Rong, Yang Shiqi and others, took the initiative to speak for Zheng He.
Although they are not Zheng He's people, after analyzing the pros and cons, they feel that there must be people in the court to be stable.
