Dadu, the Imperial Palace.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Nine Heavens Peerless Palace is nothing more than a Jianghu sect, and it dares to openly break into the palace to assassinate, which is really hateful, and it should be quickly sent to exterminate it, otherwise it will grow stronger, and its disasters will be endless, plus after my Dayuan unified the Central Plains, the Han people in the Central Plains have repeatedly rebelled, and the Hanchen also has a heart of disobedience from time to time. ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister also felt that it was necessary to quickly destroy the Nine Heavens Peerless Palace to get rid of future troubles. ”

Emperor Haishan frowned, thinking that he had also commanded the army in the north for many years, and he could be regarded as brave and strategic, and he didn't want to face a small Nine Heavens Peerless Palace today, but it was so tricky and difficult to do.

"Prince, Zhang Aiqing, tell me your opinion. ”

The crown prince of the emperor Haishan, in fact, is not the son of Haishan, but his younger brother, the son is only a catty - Aiyuli Bali Bada, only because after the death of the first emperor Wanzedu Emperor Temur, Aiyuli Bali Bada made considerable efforts for Haishan to ascend the throne, when the two brothers reached the Haishan enthronement and called the emperor, they will be named Aiyuli Bali Bada as the prince of the agreement, Aiyuli Bali Bada has a heavy army, where can Haishan not follow.

And now, the throne of Haishan has been stabilized, and he has long had the heart to abolish the prince of Aiyuli Bali Bali, but due to the unanimous opposition of Zhang Qi and other important ministers, Haishan has never been allowed to find an opportunity to abolish Aiyuli Bali Bada.

"Brother Chen thinks that as long as the Nine Heavens Peerless Palace turns its face and goes against the imperial court, we can't act rashly. ”

"Well, as long as they don't know how to go against the court, they break into my dormitory late at night and assassinate my queen, if this is not a blatant opposition to the court, then it will be until they hang my head on the city gate, then they can be sure that they are really going against the court. ”

Before Ai Yuli Bali Bada finished speaking, he was scolded by Haishan and bloody.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, in the past few days, the minister has learned the ins and outs of this whole thing, and the person who broke into the palace that night to assassinate him is probably not the palace master of the Nine Heavens Peerless Palace, but someone else. ”

Haishan frowned, he thought that Zhang Qi was deliberately helping Aiyu Li Bali Bada to speak, and his face was displeased, but because Zhang Qi's father Zhang Hongfan had a high reputation among the courtiers back then, it was not easy to scold openly, but in his heart he had already comforted Zhang Qi's ancestors for eighteen generations.

"Then you can tell me, the thief keeps saying that he is avenging his grandfather, except for Wen Tianxiang's grandson, who else can there be Wen Xingsoul, the palace master of the Nine Heavens Peerless Palace. ”

Haishan paused for a moment, and suddenly thought of something.

"I remember, back then, Wen Tianxiang was your father Zhang Hongfan, the Duke of Qi Guogong, who personally escorted him to Dadu and handed it over to Emperor Shengde Shengong (Kublai Khan), I remember that day, Emperor Shengde Shengong once asked your father, if there was anyone else in the Wen family, but he said that he had brought his family to Dadu, but today, it seems that it was not Qi Guogong who deliberately let go of Wen Xing's soul back then. ”

Zhang Jue's face changed greatly, the emperor wanted to put this pot on his father's back, that could really kill him, Zhang Jue quickly knelt down.

"Emperor Mingjian, my father did escort the captured Wen family to Dadu back then, as for this Wen Xing's soul, I am afraid that he was not in Wen Tianxiang's army at that time. ”

"Okay, you, you get up, I won't pursue those old things, and even if Wen Xing's soul slipped away from the army at that time, it didn't necessarily mean that Qi Guogong did it on purpose. ”

Haishan wanted to use this to govern Zhang Qi well, but thinking about the attack on the Great Song Dynasty, Zhang Hongfan was indeed loyal to the Great Yuan Dynasty, besides, although Zhang Hongfan was dead, the influence of the Zhang family was still there.

"Your Majesty, Emperor. ”

Aiyu Li Bali Bada's heart is very open, the reason why Haishan wants to attack Zhang Qi is completely because of his own existence, but this Haishan is indecisive, if he really kills Zhang Qi and offends the Zhang family, isn't it a good thing for himself, it seems that he has to speed up his pace.

"You can't fight, but you must not just let the Nine Heavens Peerless Palace treat the court as a monkey, Prince, I order you to be responsible for the security of Dadu from now on, and after you retreat from the court, go to receive the soldiers, and you must strictly prevent the people of the Nine Heavens Peerless Palace from mixing into Dadu again to cause trouble. ”

Of course, Haishan knew that the prince wished he killed Zhang Jue, so he wouldn't be so stupid, not only that, but he also had to set up a trap for the prince to put in it, so that he could change his son as the prince with a good name.

Ai Yuli Bali Bada didn't say anything, but in his heart he secretly said that Haishan's trick was really vicious, and when he got up in the morning, his subordinates told him that Wen Xing's soul had already entered the capital, but now, the emperor actually asked him to be responsible for guarding the capital and strictly preventing the people of the Nine Heavens Peerless Palace from entering the capital.

Aiyu Li Bali Bada threw an inquiring look at Zhang Jue, on the way to the court earlier, he had already told Zhang Jue the news that Wen Xing's soul had come to Dadu, Zhang Jue did not move at all, he knew that at this moment, Haishan's eyes must be staring at the two of them, at this time, even if he made a small move, he would definitely not be able to escape Haishan's eyes.

"Prince, prince, did you hear what I said?"

Aiyuli Bali Bada is helpless, and now that it is not yet time to completely tear his face, how can he openly resist the decree in the court.

"Brother of the courtiers, long live the emperor, long live long live!"

"Okay, as for how to deal with the matter of the Nine Heavens Peerless Palace, I also think that the matter has not been completely investigated yet, and I should not act rashly, after all, the person who committed the assassination that day was masked, and I have never seen his face clearly, so how can I conclude that it is the Wen Xing Soul of the Nine Heavens Peerless Palace. ”

"The Emperor Shengming!"

Whether it was those who were in favor of exterminating the Nine Heavens Peerless Palace before, or those who were in favor of not being able to use force easily, they were all in unison at this moment.

"Do you have anything else to do?"

It was quiet, originally the waiter of the Ministry of Rites wanted to report that Annan sent an envoy to meet the emperor, but he knew that the emperor was in a bad mood today, so he should not be bored.

"Retreat!"

Haishan got up from the dragon chair, staring at Zhang Jue and Ai Yuli Bali Bada with his eyes, and finally left the hall without speaking, Zhang Jue breathed a heavy sigh of relief and glanced at the prince.

That means let's go out and talk about it, there's too much to see and hear here.

Aiyu Li Bali Bada naturally understood, and he left the hall first, so as not to arouse the suspicion of others.

Half an hour later, the disguised Aiyu Li Bali Bada came to the Qi State Mansion.

The decree of the Great Yuan Dynasty stipulates that people who are not from the royal family shall not inherit the titles of their predecessors in later generations, so after Zhang Hongfan's death, although the plaque of the Duke of Qi has not been taken down, the Zhang family has no Guogong.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please come in quickly. ”

Zhang Qi led Aiyuli Bali Bada all the way into the study, and asked the maid to bring tea and snacks, then closed the door of the study and discussed with Aiyuli Bali Bada secretly.

After half an hour, the two walked out of the study, Zhang Jue was full of smiles, Aiyuli Bali Bada was full of sadness, in stark contrast, just now Zhang Jue told Aiyuli Bali Bada that he would personally go to find Wen Xing's soul, as long as he promised not to make things happen in Dadu in the near future, he could meet all the conditions proposed by the Nine Heavens Peerless Palace, of course, all the so-called conditions will never really be fulfilled, this is just a delaying plan they discussed.

Ai Yuli Bali was worried, but it was not Wen Xingsoul's business, he didn't care how much Wen Xingsoul would make a big move in the capital, on the contrary, if Wen Xingsoul's movement was bigger, the more beneficial it would be for him.

Nangong Wuxian had already designed everything for him, but he didn't know if Wen Xingsoul would help him push himself as Nangong Wuxian expected, so that he could sit on the dragon chair as soon as possible.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince relax, I don't believe that there will be people in this world who don't like beautiful women and don't like gold and silver!"

Ai Yuli Bali Ba Daxin said that you fool, as long as you don't ruin my big plan, but he is still perfunctory, at least the purpose of his trip has been achieved, he knows Zhang Gui's plan, and he can make Nangong Wuxian adapt.

"I hope so!"

Ai Yuli Bali Bada still left the Qi State Mansion from the back door in a low-key manner, and he now wants to immediately tell Nangong Wuxian what Zhang Gui told him, so that he can make the next arrangement.

After Aiyuli Bali left, Zhang Jue returned to his study again, closed the door, and waited for him to confirm that there was no one outside, before he walked to a bookcase, holding a vase on the bookcase with both hands and turning it, making a slight rumbling sound, the bookcase crossed to the side, and behind the bookcase, there was a cave.

A terrible old man, chained by chains, crouched in a corner motionless, like a dead man.

"Are you still reluctant to tell the whereabouts of the Brahma Sutra?"

The old man on the ground didn't move at all, Zhang Jue didn't seem to be angry, he calmly walked to a Taishi chair and sat down.

"Isn't it something that excites you very much that the person who took everything from you is now facing what you faced back then?"

The old man remained motionless, as if he had become a dead man.

"As long as you tell me the whereabouts of the Brahma Sutra and tell me the secrets in it, I can help you and help you get back everything that is rightfully yours. ”

Finally, Zhang Jue lost patience again, walked up to the old man and kicked him, sighed lightly and left the secret room, and then closed the secret room mechanism.

............

Henan, Shaomu Mountain.

"Senior brother, Wen Xing Soul has already left the Nine Heavens Cliff, according to the disciples who came back, he only took two maidservants with him on this trip, and went all the way north, ostensibly for the matter of the queen's killing, but according to my speculation, I am afraid that it is related to the Brahma Taixuan Sutra. ”

It was the supervisor of Shaolin Temple, the monk Yuantong, who spoke, and the person he became the senior brother of the president was the abbot of Shaolin Temple, Yuanjue, who was famous in the Central Plains martial arts.

Monk Yuanjue remained motionless, as if he had not heard Yuantong's words, and still kept rolling the rosary in his hand and reciting the scriptures silently.

"The people of the Midnight Ecstasy Valley have been guarding Fanjing Mountain, I have already ordered to go down, once there is news of the Brahma Taixuan Sutra, I will come back immediately to report!"

Yuanjue finally stopped chanting.

"The Brahma Sutra is a sacred relic that has been passed down from generation to generation in my Shaolin Temple for thousands of years, but I don't want to make trouble and sin because of it. ”

Monk Yuanjue pondered for a moment and slowly stood up from the futon.

"I'm going to Fanjing Mountain, during this period, you must take care of the affairs of Shaomu Mountain for me. ”

"Senior brother, please rest assured, however, I think that Brahma Taixuan Sutra is afraid that it is no longer in Fanjing Mountain!"

"I'm not here to find the Brahma Sutra. ”

"Then what is the purpose of Senior Brother's visit?"

"You don't have to worry about this, you just need to take care of the affairs of Shaomuro Mountain. ”

"Yes!"
