Lu Yue didn't expect the Son of Heaven to ask like this, he was taken aback, and replied: "Your Majesty, why did you say this? Your Majesty is the son of today, and I am a person from all over the world, although I am a person from outside the world, I also admire it very much, how dare I have such a heart?"

Zhang Zixing ignored Shen Gongbao's eyes and sighed: "If the Taoist Commander didn't have this thought, why did the disciple Zhu Tianlin collude with Yue Wang Qi that day to poison the widow with the intention of rebellion, if it wasn't for the widow's blessing of the Mandate of Heaven, he would have been killed by his poison technique!"

Lu Yue was even more surprised, Zhang Zixing immediately told Yue Wang Qi and Nanbohou E Chongyu about the rebellion at the altar, and told in detail how Zhu Tianlin poisoned the harem and applied plague to the court song, causing thousands of subjects to suffer, and finally briefly said that the teacher Xiaoyaozi was forced to kill Zhu Tianlin in order to protect the Son of Heaven.

What kind of causal sin is it to kill the Son of Heaven in the world with Taoism? Even though Lu Yue has always been ruthless, he did not dare to have such thoughts for no reason, and secretly rejoiced that Zhu Tianlin did not succeed, otherwise he, as a master, would not be able to escape cause and effect implication. He thought that his disciple had been killed and wanted to take revenge, but he didn't want to be like this!

As soon as Lu Yue thought of this, he quickly got up and saluted: "There is no way to discipline the poor way, causing this criminal to almost commit a catastrophe against the sky! ”

Zhang Zixing invited Lu Yue to sit down: "Afterwards, according to Yue Wang Qi's explanation, that Zhu Tianlin was also confused by the two daughters of the snake and scorpion, so why did he do this great rebellion? ”

Lu Yue hurriedly said: "Thank you Your Majesty for your understanding, that criminal, who is greedy for women, intends to rebel, and dies innocently, what is the regret?"

Zhang Zixing remembered that Zheng Lun had worshiped Lu Yue as a teacher, and his mind changed for a moment, and he said with a smile: "The Taoist master is not strict in teaching apprentices, is it a punishment or not?"

Seeing the smile on the face of the Son of Heaven, Lu Yue knew that it was not malicious, so he immediately accepted the punishment.

Zhang Zixing sent someone to summon Zheng Lun to come and said to Lu Yue: "It is to admit punishment. I asked the Taoist chief to accept this General Zheng as an apprentice, so that he could be disciplined so as not to rebirth Zhu Tianlin. ”

Lu Yue took a closer look at this Zheng Lun and found that this person's qualifications were still above the four major disciples, but his roots were still shallow. If you can focus on strengthening the basic cultivation, your future achievements will not be below the four great disciples, and you can't help but show joy.

When Zheng Lun heard the words of the Son of Heaven, he felt a little abrupt, seeing that Lu Yue's appearance was strange and his Taoism was unfathomable, he sincerely apprenticed to the teacher at the moment, and said: "I have worshiped Xi Kunlun Du'er Zhenren as a teacher, and I have to pass on the two qi in the know-how. Sucks people's souls, but the truth says that I have another Master and told me to go down the mountain. Today, the teacher is overjoyed. ”

Lu Yue was also very happy, and hurriedly thanked the Son of Heaven: "Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous, not only does not blame the poor Dao, but also recommends good disciples, the poor Dao is really ashamed." This kindness, the poor road should be remembered!"

Shen Gongbao secretly admired the methods of the Son of Heaven, this time not only resolved the grudge, but also formed a good relationship with Lu Yue, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. But I didn't know that Zhang Zixing's trick had been used on Sanxiao Niangniang back then, and it was a repeat of the old trick.

Zhang Zixing specially allowed Zheng Lun to accompany Lu Yue to Kowloon Island to practice, and the DPRK still retained his military position, and when needed in the future, he would return to serve. Zheng Lun was grateful. Thanksgiving, Lu Yue sent two gourd pills to the Son of Heaven, one gourd can solve all kinds of plagues, and the other gourd is wound medicine, which can instantly recover internal and external injuries. and said that if the Son of Heaven is sent in the future. Just send someone to Kowloon Island's famous mountain and send someone to help.

After giving out the pill. Lu Yue got up to say goodbye, and Shen Gongbao also said that he wanted to go back to Kunlun Mountain, but Zhang Zixing couldn't keep it, so he had to send the three out of the palace in person.

In the next few days, Zhang Zixing no longer rushed out of the palace, concentrating on refining the power of the mosquito Dao people, while quietly waiting for Kong Xuan to leave the customs.

Let's say that in the Yuxu Palace of Kunlun Mountain, the sage Yuan Shi Tianzun sat on the futon of the Bagua Platform and was listening to the Antarctic Immortal Weng Bei talk about the South China Sea. Yuan Shi Tianzun didn't seem to care about the Kunlun Crystal Jade when the people of the Burning Lamp Dao got the Kunlun Crystal Jade, and when he heard that the disciples under his sect had broken a few people, the sect leader was still expressionless, and said lightly: "The killing and robbery has started, and the people who should be robbed cannot avoid it, and the same is true of the sect." Although I have many disciples, there are only a dozen or so people with deep roots. If the machine is reversed today, it is difficult to speculate whether my sect can survive the killing and robbery, it is still unknown. ”

The Antarctic Immortal Weng knew that the "more than a dozen people" mentioned by Yuan Shi Tianzun were the twelve golden immortals, including himself, and he was secretly measuring in his heart, and talked about Wu Ping's danger of being tainted by Western disciples: "Senior Sister Wu Ping has been very anxious recently, and she wants to seek revenge from the Western Sect, Senior Brother Deng Hua has always gotten along with her, and she seems to be uneasy, does Shizun want to summon the two of them to come to teach?"

Yuan Shi Tianzun shook his head and said, "No need, you go and tell Wu Ping that the things of the Western religion will come from cause and effect." If she is still like that, let her go, and there is no need to control her. ”

Antarctic Immortal Weng said again: "Master, Shen Gongbao has a close relationship with the sect of the sect, I heard that he was recommended by the Taishi Wenzhong, and was deeply appreciated by the Son of Heaven, and was canonized as a national teacher the day before yesterday. ”

When talking about Deng Hua and Wu Ping, the Antarctic Immortal Weng added the title of junior brother and sister, but Shen Gongbao was called by his name, and the discrimination was obvious.

"National Teacher?" Yuan Shi Tianzun didn't care about the question in the title of Antarctic Immortal, and asked again: "How is Ziya doing?"

Antarctic Immortal Weng and Jiang Ziya had a close relationship, and hurriedly replied: "Senior Brother Ziya is also reused by the Son of Heaven, and he is currently a sub-prime minister, in charge of the central political figures, and his power is only below the head of the government. ”

"National Teacher...... Yaxiang ...... "Yuan Shi Tianzun closed his eyes, and he was worried for a while, and after a while, he said to the Antarctic Immortal: "You retreat, and go to Chaoge in person in seven days, and call Ziya to come, I have something to order." ”

The Antarctic Immortal Weng didn't dare to ask more, and quickly retreated, and Yuan Shi Tianzun's eyes slowly opened, revealing a divine light.

The news of Bo Yikao's assassination in the middle of the road reached Xiqi, which immediately caused a wave. The people of Xiqi originally complained about Bo Yi's examination in Chaoge, thinking that he had committed such ugly things, which simply disgraced Xibohou and Xiqi. But now that I hear the news of Bo Yi Kao's death and think of some of his usual deeds for the people, I can't help but feel sad, and I hate the conspiracy to kill the traitor Eshun in Bo Yi Kaodi.

Xibohou Mansion.

In front of the door, the general Nangong Shi personally led the troops to guard, and no one was allowed to enter without Taiji's order.

In the inner hall, Ji Fa, the second son of Xibohou, was bowing his head, kneeling on the ground, motionless.

On the chair in front of him, sat Ji Chang's concubine Taiji, that is, the biological mother of Bo Yi Kao and Ji Fa.

Tai Ji didn't speak, and looked at Ji Fa quietly, the kindness in her usual eyes was long gone. Replaced by sorrow and anger.

"Why? Why are you doing that?"

Ji Fa still lowered his head and said, "The child doesn't understand what his mother means. ”

Tai Ji shouted, "Hugh is perfunctory, why do you send someone to kill your brother Bo Yi Kao?"

Ji Fa hurriedly argued: "How can the mother misunderstand like this? The child and the elder brother are the same mother and have a deep relationship, how could they do this? It is rumored that the traitor E Shun sent a killer to assassinate me in order to provoke the relationship between my Xiqi and Chaoge. ”

Tai Ji was silent for a while. sighed for a long time, and only said for a long time: "I don't want to listen to lies anymore, don't forget, I'm your biological mother, you may be able to hide it from others, but can you hide it from me?"

Ji Fa kowtowed again and again: "Mother knows that the child does not have such a thing." ”

Tai Ji said angrily: "You secretly set up a secret battalion and trained killers, don't you know about it? Bow your head lower, not daring to make a sound.

Seeing that he didn't refute again, Tai Ji felt a pain in her heart. He asked in a deep voice, "Why do you want to be like this? You are brothers from the same mother!"

Ji Fa bowed his head and said: "My brother is in the court, and he is despised by the world. Tai Bo and Zhong Yong took the opportunity to spread rumors about this matter, which greatly reduced the reputation of their father, and even the local people of Xiqi began to doubt it. The child was forced to have no choice but to make this decision......"

Tai Ji couldn't help but ask again: "Your brother is a human being, how can you not know it? How could you commit such a wrong thing? It is clear that someone deliberately framed him! You know that this is the case, and you still want to send someone to kill him, where do you put your flesh and blood affection behind?"

"Whether or not someone designed it, the matter is a foregone conclusion, and the whole world knows it. It's not that the child is ruthless, but helpless," Ji Fa distinguished: "Besides, my brother is no longer interesting when he is punished by that palace, so it is better to ...... Take the full name of death. Downplaying the mistakes can not only arouse the hostility of my Xiqi people, but also weaken the rumors that are unfavorable to my father and the whole of Xiqi—this plan has now been quite effective. After some time, the child will order people to spread rumors that his brother is innocent. Those sins were entirely designed by the Eshun faction. The purpose is to make the monarch and the minister discord......"

Tai Ji has always loved this son the most, and she can hear him justify the murder of his brother in a high-sounding manner. I felt as if I had suddenly aged dozens of years, and I wanted to say something, but in the end I didn't say it, but just said lightly: "At present, Taibo and Zhongyong are dictatorial, and your brothers can only control the overall situation of Xiqi if they unite as one, and this matter will be stopped, if there is no more fratricidal heart, it will not be spared!"

Ji Fa hurriedly kowtowed, exited the inner hall, and walked to the door, when he heard the voice of Taiji sobbing in the back, his body couldn't help but pause, but he didn't dare to turn back, and walked out quickly.

Back in the house, Ji Fa locked himself in the room alone, and ordered his subordinates not to see any visitors.

"Flesh and blood affection?" Ji Fa shook his head and sighed: "Bo Yi Kao, I don't miss brotherhood. If you want to blame it, blame you and I didn't contract to be born in a princely family!"

"Being able to make trade-offs and making good decisions is the way of the king, if you are indecisive, how can you succeed?" a voice behind Ji Fa sounded.

Ji Fa turned his head and saw that there was suddenly an extra Taoist in the room, and he was not surprised, but showed joy and saluted: "The teacher is here?"

The man answered, lightly rubbed his long beard, and said: "Now that Bo Yi Kao is dead, no one in Xiqi can compete with Gongzi, just wait for Taibo and Zhongyong to be eliminated, and Gongzi can be in charge of Xiqi alone, and no one can shake it." ”

Ji Fa's eyes lit up, and he asked the Taoist, "Teacher, can you use your magical powers to get rid of these two thieves?"

The Taoist shook his head and replied, "I am an immortal outside the Fang, how can I use immortal magic and be contaminated with worldly killing? Moreover, these two people were sent by the Son of Heaven, and they are the eldest brother of Xibohou, if they kill them rashly." The Son of Heaven will be angry with Xiqi, and he is afraid that there will be a disaster of swords. I know that Gongzi has always been ambitious, but the time has not yet come, how can he act rashly? Could it be that Gongzi wants to repeat the incident of Jizhou Su Hu?"

Ji Fa naturally knew that Su Hu was besieged by Wen Zhong's army back then, and was finally defeated, so he was forced to sacrifice his daughter to the palace to save his life, and gave up the land of Jizhou, so he quickly shook his head and said: "I don't want to be like Su Hu." It's just that at this time, at that time, the Son of Heaven is now fascinated by Daji, and gradually abandons the government, and does not accept good words, and reuses lowly people, so that there are many grievances in the court. Chonghou Hu attacked Eshun in the south, Wen Taishi went north to conquer the ghost side, and he was too busy to take care of himself, and Jiang Huan Chu, the Eastern Bohou, was cut down from the fief, and he was also dissatisfied in his heart. It's time to take this opportunity to make a difference. ”

"Childe is right, this is a God-given opportunity, not to be missed, but you must be cautious, otherwise there will be a big disaster," the Taoist nodded approvingly, "Ordinary things, should be dealt with with mundane strategies, although I am proficient in immortal arts, but I do not have power to seek government affairs." I have a common door, not only deep in this way, but also good at the art of war. If Gongzi can be assisted by this person, not only can Tai Bo and Zhong Yong be removed, but he may also be able to achieve his ambitions. ”

Ji Fa was overjoyed and hurriedly asked where this person was, the man shook his head and smiled: "Fate has not arrived, and it is in vain to force it, and the son is still accumulating strength and winning people's hearts." When the time comes, there will be a day when we meet, and whether we can succeed at that time depends on the decision of the son. ”

Ji Fa was a little strange about the last sentence of the Taoist, and said: "Such a great sage, Ji Fa should be regarded as a teacher and leaned on as an arm." ”

The Taoist nodded with satisfaction, and as soon as the dust was raised, a crane appeared beside him, and at the same time, the gate automatically opened, and the Taoist rode the crane, flew out of the door, and then disappeared into the sky.

Seven days later, Kunlun Yuxu Palace.

Jiang Ziya walked into the palace, came to the gossip platform, and bowed down to Yuan Shi Tianzun: "Disciple Jiang Shang knocks to see the master." ”

Jiang Ziya is not a person who has forgotten his roots, although he is in a high position, he has not given up his longing for cultivation in his heart.

Yuan Shi Tianzun asked, "How are you doing in Chaoge?"

Jiang Ziya replied respectfully: "After the disciple went down the mountain, he received the deep favor of the Son of Heaven in Chaoge, and was promoted all the way to the white body. ”

Yuan Shi Tianzun was silent for a moment, and then said, "If I tell you that this true master is not today, how will you be treated?"

Jiang Ziya was shocked, his face showed incredulity, and he exclaimed: "Why did the master say this? The disciple is ignorant, please make it clear to the master." ”

Yuan Shi Tianzun said: "You know my intention in your heart, why do you have to say it? You answer me, if this is the case, how should you act?"

Jiang Ziya only felt that his heart was in turmoil, and he didn't know how to choose for a while.
