That night, Ye Haotian thought about it for a long time, trying to find a good way to get close to the emperor.

In the afternoon of the next day, Lan'er stayed at home to chat with her mother.

Ye Haotian led Mr. Feng out of the door.

They first went around the most prosperous Confucius Temple. It wasn't until the sun turned west that the scenery went their separate ways, leaving Mr. Feng to continue to wander, while Ye Haotian turned around and walked towards Taifu Song Jiuling's mansion. At this hour, it is estimated that Song Jiuling should retire to the dynasty and stay at home.

Taifu Mansion is about ten miles away from Confucius Temple.

Ye Haotian avoided the main road and walked the alleys, looking at the large and small courtyards on both sides and the high and low cornices of the roofs, as well as the new trees on the roadside and the people shuttling on the road, he couldn't help but feel a sense of peace and comfort.

When I arrived at Taifu's Mansion, the streets gradually widened, and the courtyards on the side of the road became larger and larger, and probably the people living nearby were some high-ranking officials and nobles.

Less than a mile away from the destination, Ye Haotian suddenly heard a bleak mourning, accompanied by cries one after another.

He was shocked, thinking that something had happened to the Song family again, so he hurriedly hurried two steps forward to investigate.

When I got closer, I realized that the cry was not from the Taifu Mansion, but from a mansion across the road.

He looked fixedly, but saw that the mansion in front of him was simply bigger than the Song Mansion, with red eaves and green tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, and the word "Zhu Mansion" written above the wide gate, I don't know whose mansion it is.

Just then, the door opened.

A group of people in white clothes and white robes walked out carrying the coffin, followed by some women and children's families.

Ye Haotian hurriedly flashed to the side, leaning against the wall and looking at it from afar.

When the group of coffin bearers passed by him, almost everyone turned their heads and glared at him, and some even scolded: "People have been forced to die, and they still come to stare at him, what do they see?

Ye Haotian knew that these people had misunderstood him, so he didn't get angry in his heart, just stood quietly and ignored it.

The person lying in the coffin was no longer a little angry, and it seemed that he had been dead for a long time, so Ye Haotian couldn't save him like he saved the young lady of the Song family.

After the group went away, Ye Hao turned around and approached the Taifu Mansion, and after changing his appearance, he handed over his name post.

As soon as he saw the famous post, the janitor led him in, and it seemed that he had already been instructed by Song Jiuling that as soon as this "chess call" arrived, he would greet him immediately!

Sure enough, Song Jiuling was in the living room, and when he saw Ye Haotian, he was so excited that he couldn't close his mouth.

After the guests and hosts were seated, Ye Haotian first took out two previously refined Tonifying and Nourishing Qi Pills, and said: "This is the elixir refined a year ago, it has the effect of refreshing the mind and replenishing the middle and nourishing Qi, Taifu might as well take the next one and try it." ”

Song Jiuling took the pill and looked at it, becoming more and more pleased, and said with a smile: "It must be a rare elixir, but I am not busy taking it, and it is not too late to enjoy it slowly after fasting." The Immortal Elder has always been good lately? The Emperor and the Crown Prince have both asked about you! They asked very carefully, and they had no choice but to tell the truth and ask the Immortal Elder for forgiveness. ”

Ye Haotian waved his hand and said, "It's okay to forgive." How is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doing lately?"

Song Jiuling said: "The prince's body is recovering well, not only is he full of energy, but he also likes the study of immortal Taoism, and often dances and plays with swords in the palace!"

Ye Haotian smiled slightly: "I hope he doesn't do his job." What about the emperor?"

Song Jiuling's face suddenly became a little mysterious, and he said in a low voice: "I think it's a little strange, for some reason, in the past half a month, the emperor has become a lot more shrewd, and sometimes Minister Hou has not finished reporting, and he understands everything." But he couldn't bear to say it, and the official positions in the court and the central government were all the same, and I don't know what he thought. ”

As soon as Ye Haotian heard that there was a door, his heart suddenly became happy.

He couldn't tell Song Jiuling the earth-shattering secret of the reincarnation of the Jade Emperor Dao, so he changed the topic and said: "I saw someone in the nearby Zhu Mansion going to the funeral, and the person who sent the funeral was angry, I don't know why?"

Song Jiuling sighed: "This matter is a long story, and it involves a big hidden pain in this dynasty! The immortal chief does not know that there are two major pain points in this dynasty, one is that the Japanese in the southeast coast are becoming more and more violent, and the other is that corrupt officials and corrupt officials are rampant. Speaking of this, he glanced at Ye Haotian, "The owner of the Zhu Mansion is named Zhu Xuan, who was originally a relative of the emperor and a minister of the central government, and was appointed as the governor of Fujian a year ago. After he took office, he mobilized a large army to blockade the sea, and successively killed nearly 1,000 Japanese and more than 100 corrupt officials and gentry of the Tongwu, and as a result, he violated the interests of the bureaucrats and wealthy people of the Tongwa, and they attacked Zhu Xuan for embezzlement and bribery and wanton killing innocents through the eunuch Liu Heng and the great eunuch Wang Xi, and the result was that Zhu Xuan committed suicide and died!"

Ye Haotian was both pity and surprise in his heart, and asked, "When did this happen?

Song Jiuling replied: "Zhu Crotch was recalled in October last year, and he was tortured to the death of the regent without being interrogated by the Criminal Department, and both legs were broken! Zhu Crotch desperately persevered, and he did not admit his guilt until a few days ago, when the emperor personally interrogated and said that his corruption and bribery were purely false, but he should not have killed so many people. In view of his crippled legs, he was specially allowed to take his sins home and recuperate from his wounds. Zhu Crotch felt that he had been greatly wronged, and his legs were crippled, so he finally committed suicide by hanging himself last night!"

Speaking of this, he was so angry that he slapped his palm on the table, and paused for a while before continuing: "The emperor also made a mistake in this matter, so no one dared to mention this matter this morning." Since the immortal chief is here, you might as well go with me to meet the emperor, and by the way, persuade the emperor to appease Zhu Xuan's family. ”

Ye Haotian was also indignant for Zhu Crotch, took a deep breath, and tried his best to say in a more relaxed tone: "The emperor is busy with everything, so he may not necessarily see a minister like me!"

Song Jiuling said: "The emperor has instructed that as long as I see you, I will invite you to the palace at any time." Besides, don't you have the pass token of the Chin?"

Ye Haotian suddenly felt that there were indeed a lot of pass tokens on his body, including the dragon card given by the emperor, the gold medal of the immortals issued by the Queen Mother of the West, and even the jade card given by the Jade Emperor to pass through all walks of life in the world. It's just that at the time of chaos in the heavenly realm, even the jade card given by the Jade Emperor is not very effective, and it is not as good as the dragon card given by the emperor.

Then the two left the Taifu Mansion and went straight to the palace.

The emperor was resting in the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, and when he heard that Qi was waiting to summon Tian Tian to meet with the Taifu, he hurriedly sent a decree to order the two to come in.

The Yangxin Hall is an I-shaped hall, the front hall is the place where the emperor meets the ministers, and the back hall is the sleeping palace. The middle is connected by a corridor, which is very convenient.

Ye Haotian followed Song Jiuling into the main hall step by step, and saw the emperor walking around the hall at a glance.

The emperor's appearance has not changed from before, but he seems to be more agile between actions.

Ye Haotian just wanted to bow down, but was stopped by the emperor.

The emperor smiled with a spring breeze on his face: "Give me a seat! Both of you are my favorite ministers, so you don't need to be formal!"

The two of them sat down.

After a few words of greeting, the emperor said: "I have decided to pass on to the crown prince next year, what do the two Aiqing think?"

Song Jiuling said: "The emperor is still healthy in the spring and autumn, why not do it for two more years? Now it is an eventful autumn, His Royal Highness the crown prince is still young, I am worried that he will feel difficult to manage the government." ”

The emperor waved his hand to stop him: "The crown prince will be twenty-six years old next year, which is much stronger than when I ascended the throne." What's more, with you ministers doing your best to assist, what is there to worry about?"

Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Ye Haotian and said: "Tian Aiqing, you are not only good at chess, but also have miraculous skills, all-round talents in civil and military affairs, full of economy, and you deserve to be the queen of famous families! I am ready to reuse you, I don't know if you are willing?" When he said this, he stared at Ye Haotian with both eyes, and a faint purple light flashed in his eyes, as if he could see through Ye Haotian's past and present life at a glance.

Looking at it, his face suddenly changed slightly, and his hands shook slightly, and then quickly stabilized.

Song Jiuling was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know what the emperor meant by the famous family. Until this moment, he didn't know that Ye Haotian was the descendant of the Su family who was "a seven-jinshi and knew all over the world".

Ye Haotian was also quietly observing the emperor, and had already seen the emperor's every move in his eyes, when he saw the emperor staring at him with strange eyes, he hurriedly avoided his gaze, and replied casually: "Weichen was born in Si, grew up in Si, and serving the country should be a matter of duty......" Before the words fell, he suddenly screamed "oops"!

Because he saw several landscape paintings hanging on the wall of the Yangxin Palace, one of which was inscribed on one of the "Liu Ruan Encountering Immortals": "A green cloud falls in Kyushu, the wind and smoke are proud and clear outside the domain, He said that Ruan Zhao returned and went, and there was no need to worry about the breeze." ”

Suddenly, when he saw these lines, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, so that he couldn't help but scream, and almost slipped from his chair to the ground.

Although he had always suspected that the emperor was the Jade Emperor, he did not expect to confirm his judgment in such a direct way.

Song Jiuling didn't know why, and felt that he was shocked and unseemly, so he turned his head to look at him.

At this time, the faint purple light in the emperor's eyes had disappeared, and he said in a very peaceful tone: "Tian Aiqing, is there anything wrong? Or do you not want to serve me and don't want to be restrained? In this way, you don't have to stay here for a long time, as long as the crown prince successfully ascends the throne in March next year, you can come and go as you like and regain your freedom, do you think it's good?"

Ye Haotian lowered his head and groaned without answering immediately.

Song Jiuling was already dying in a hurry next to him, and he couldn't wait to answer for him, and said in his heart: "There is still such a thing in the world? The emperor begged the courtiers bitterly, but the courtiers were reluctant to push back and block!"

The emperor didn't rush him, just waited quietly for him to reply.

After pondering for a while, Ye Haotian suddenly raised his head, looked directly at the emperor, and said: "The will of the saint, the minister does not dare to disrespect, but the minister has a better arrangement, I don't know if the saint wants to hear it." Speaking of this, he glanced back at Song Jiuling, not knowing if the next words should avoid this old minister.

The emperor waved his hand to Song Jiuling and said, "Taifu, please step back first, I have a few words to explain to Tian Tian alone." ”

Song Jiuling hurriedly bowed down and retired, feeling a strange feeling in his heart, and he was more and more puzzled about who he recommended to be called, let alone why the emperor trusted him so much.

But since the emperor has already spoken, he doesn't dare to say a word.

When Song Jiuling was far away, Ye Hao genius bowed down and said, "Please forgive me, Weichen has something important to do, so he can't wait here all the time." It is very important, and it will be good for the Holy One. But I don't have to go now. It's only the middle of March, and I can stay here until the end of May, and then I'll go, hoping for God's permission. ”

The emperor glared at him and said, "What's your better arrangement?" ”

Ye Haotian said: "Weichen has two trustworthy friends, one surnamed Feng and the other surnamed ghost, both of whom have the unpredictable ability of ghosts and gods, and win the wisdom of thousands of miles. There are also more than a dozen unborn masters, who can be called at any time after June. If the Holy One wishes, I can call them all. ”

The emperor shook his head, a strange smile appeared on his face, and said, "I don't like fanfare. If the mountains and rivers are exhausted, I can also recruit a few so-called masters. Those masters, hehe, those masters who fly the eaves and walk the wall...... Honestly, it's the same as nothing!"

Ye Haotian defended: "The saint's intentions are understood. In view of the demonic atmosphere, we are not fighting with our wits. The saint is unparalleled in the world, but it is always inconvenient to make a move in person, so it is still beneficial to find a few subordinates. And they can be made to change their names and surnames and hide in the Ouchi, so that the saint can be like a tiger with wings. ”

The emperor walked around the palace, stopped after a while, and asked, "You have some truth." We don't have the strength to fight with wits, so I'm a little interested in the two advisors you mentioned, but I don't know what makes the wind and the ghost stand out?

Ye Haotian wanted to say: "One is the number one God of Wealth in the world, and the other is Guiguzi who broke through the Seven Passes of Kunlun alone and bravely broke through the Ten Thousand Destruction Wang Ding, what do you say about their intelligence?"

However, since the emperor didn't say it explicitly, it was inconvenient for him to pick up this layer of window paper, so he just bowed down and replied: "Ming said that I will invite Mr. Fengsan here, and the saint may wish to ask about it, and it will all be a palace test." Speaking of this, he suddenly smiled lightly, and said: "But Mr. Feng San is not an ordinary person, he is worth a lot of money, if the Holy Lord uses him, he may take the opportunity to blackmail." ”

The emperor laughed and said, "As the king of a country, can I still be afraid that people will not be able to ask for money?" You can tell him that as long as he can think of something, I will try my best to meet it." ”

Ye Haotian smiled secretly in his heart, and replied in his mouth: "Weichen also knows his thoughts. His family had a small business, and he had always been concerned about the excesses of taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and he would be very happy if the Holy One could exempt him from paying his taxes. ”

The purple qi in the emperor's eyes gradually revealed again, and quickly swept over Ye Haotian's face, as if he wanted to see what Ye Haotian was thinking, but the expression on Ye Haotian's face was very simple, and it was difficult to see anything.

After pausing for a moment, I heard the emperor smile heartily: "If Feng San is a kind and charitable person, what does it matter if I agree to him? What about you? What do you need for your service?"

Ye Haotian deliberately said in a very excited tone: "Wei Chen is favored by the Holy Lord, and he only thinks about serving the Holy Lord, doing his best, and then he dies! After a pause, he added: "However, if the emperor must give it, I have to accept ......."

The emperor was amused by him and said with a smile: "Your official position is not low, you need to behave well." Now is the time to make a contribution, you need to hurry!"

Ye Haotian heard it in his heart, knowing that this was saying that he was named the Emperor Haotian, and his position was already too high, and he couldn't say anything if he didn't do it well.

Seeing him nodding yes, the emperor suddenly asked with a smile: "Although I am going to abdicate next year, I am not old-hearted, and I still want to do a few big things in the last year." Aiqing said, where should I start?"

Ye Haotian said in his heart: "Here, the Jade Emperor must establish immortal feats in the world in order to accumulate enough kingly qi, and then he can complete the royal reincarnation, this is he asking for my opinion, I might as well find two real livelihood problems for him to solve." ”

So he thought for a while and replied: "Wechen thinks that there are two very important things, one is to fight corruption and promote honesty and punish corrupt officials, and the other is to fight against Japanese people in coastal provinces. Both are topics that the people are most concerned about, and the Holy One may wish to put some effort into these two aspects. ”

The emperor frowned and said: "Although there is some trouble in resisting the Japanese, it is not too difficult, but it is not easy to punish corrupt officials, and often a lot of effort is put into it with little effect." Moreover, punishing corrupt officials is bound to shake the foundation of the demons in the court, and it is not difficult to uproot them, but they are afraid of startling the snake. Think about it later. ”

Ye Haotian couldn't think of a good way for a while, so he had to mention the matter of fighting against the Japanese and tell Zhu Yan's suicide.

The emperor was silent for a moment, and then said: "Tomorrow, the early dynasty will announce the anti-Japanese move. I don't know what Aiqing's good plan is?"

Ye Haotian suddenly remembered Luo Kaishan, and immediately said: "Weichen Baoju is one person, but he can win this big task." This person is a former champion, both civil and military, once served in the Hanlin Academy, and now serves as the deputy chief soldier of Fujian. If he is asked to recruit manpower and wave his army to fight against the Japanese, he will definitely live up to his mission. ”

The emperor was not so relaxed, but paced back and forth in the hall with a heavy heart, and only said after a while: "You just said that there are some masters under your command, I don't know when they will be useful?

Ye Hao Tianxin said: "You said you didn't want it just now, why do you want it now? It's really a strange thing." But he hurriedly replied: "Wei Chen accidentally rescued nearly 10,000 masters in an extremely dangerous place, those people have been tortured, and now they are recovering, and it is estimated that they will be intact in early June, including the ghost master I just mentioned." As for how many of them came from the country, I don't know yet, but I guess there are hundreds of them. ”

The emperor nodded and said, "After they have fully recovered, you will recruit all the masters from the local area, but you must not enter the Beijing Division, and you must place all of them in the anti-Japanese army......"

Ye Haotian was taken aback, and said in a panic: "Use a knife to kill chickens? To deal with a mere widow, you actually have to use the world-famous 'martial arts master'?

This time, the emperor glared at him unceremoniously and shouted: "Be prepared, otherwise it will be too late to regret it!" This matter is extremely complicated, you go back and think about it. Stand down. ”

Ye Haotian didn't expect the emperor to reprimand him like this, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart, so he had to turn around and walk out with a disgraced face.

When he was about to reach the gate, the emperor's voice came from behind him again: "Bring Mr. Fengsan tomorrow afternoon, if you fail the palace exam, hehe......"

As soon as Mr. Feng was mentioned, Ye Haotian came to his senses, so he replied without looking back: "Holy Lord, please rest assured." If you fail the palace exam, count me guilty of deceiving the king!However, if you pass, don't forget today's promise!"

At this time, Song Jiuling was still standing outside the hall waiting, and when he dared to talk to the emperor like this, he couldn't help but turn white with fright.

Ye Haotian beckoned to him: "Taifu, let's go, the emperor already knows about Lord Zhu, he has his own arrangements, so we don't have to worry about it." ”

Song Jiuling looked at his majestic appearance, and understood more and more that the other party was not an ordinary person, so he followed him and walked out, not daring to take half a step.

Ye Haotian didn't want to be too conspicuous, so he slowed down and walked side by side with Song Jiuling.

When he returned to the palace, Mr. Wind had already returned.

After listening to what Ye Haotian said and his questions about the anti-Japanese war, Mr. Feng said with a solemn face: "God and man are in the same line, and every nation in the world has its own protector. The guardian deity of the Wajin people is called Amaterasu, and it is said that he is one of the top 50 gods on the list of gods. In addition to the powerful Amaterasu Okami, there are also tens of thousands of gods and goddesses with uneven skills, who live in all corners of the heavens and the earth. The strength should not be underestimated. ”

Ye Haotian was stunned when he heard this, and then said in a deep voice: "There are countless immortals in our Chinese kingdom, at least ten times more than theirs, even if there is a great competition of immortals, they will be eaten!"

Mr. Feng shook his head slightly, sighed, and said, "You don't know. Although our immortals are far more than the other party, their skills may also be above the other party, and the management is scattered and unsystematic. The ruler is short, the inch is long, and although the other party has fewer immortals, it has its own advantages. There is a much-anticipated place called 'Ise Jingu' in the Wa Kingdom, and a super artifact called the 'Eight-Foot Mirror' is enshrined in it, I wonder if you have heard of it?"

Ye Haotian hurriedly shook his head and asked, "What is that?" Is it more powerful than my Heaven Viewing Treasure Mirror?"

Mr. Feng smiled slightly and said, "Although the eight-foot mirror cannot be compared with the Nine Treasures of Open Heaven, it is also a treasure within the top 100 of the artifact rankings, and it should not be taken lightly. A person who is covered by the divine light of the eight-foot mirror can hardly exert one-third of his original skill!

Ye Haotian's complexion changed slightly, he didn't expect the Japanese to have such an artifact.

Mr. Wind continued, "Not only that, but the greatest function of the eight-foot mirror is to summon the gods. As long as it emits thirteen strong lights in a row, all the immortals from the Wa Kingdom will know it, no matter where they are at the ends of the earth, they will come as soon as possible, do you say terrible?"

Ye Haotian was so frightened that his face was pale!

He wasn't worried about himself, but thought that if this was the case, Luo Kaishan would be miserable!

"The immortals among the Japanese people are so tightly organized, in comparison, the immortals of the Chinese kingdom are independent, and they are too scattered. No wonder the emperor said that it is necessary to gather local masters to be prepared! This damn old man doesn't know what to sell?"

The more he thought about it, the more indignant he felt!

Mr. Feng hadn't finished speaking, he paused for a moment and then said: "I hope that this immortal competition is limited to the immortals between the middle and the Japanese, if there are immortals from other planets participating in it, especially the true gods are also inserted in it...... I think that's what the emperor is worried about. ”

Ye Haotian secretly cursed a few words in his heart, and finally said hatefully: "I have won great benefits for my husband, you must not be soft on the emperor! If you don't pay taxes, you will definitely make a lot of money, if you don't need it, you can donate it to me in the future! Who asked the emperor not to give me the funds to build the army!"

Mr. Feng said with a smile: "The cost of the army is not so much, don't forget, the part I donated earlier is enough for 100,000 soldiers to consume for a thousand years!"

Ye Haotian waved his hand again and again very exaggeratedly, and shouted: "Then how is it enough? Think about it, each of the five old emperors has a heaven and earth, and there are countless planets under their jurisdiction, and one thousandth of the heavenly court tax is enough for them! What about me? I don't have a single piece of territory, I just rely on my own piecing, if the treatment is too bad, it will be strange if the immortals who follow me don't slip away one by one!"

Mr. Feng smiled: "The immortals value their promises the most, and once they say that they will serve you, they will not leave at will, you can rest assured." ”

Ye Haotian's face turned pale, and he said, "Then I can't stand everyone." Not only do I have to give them enough money, but I also have to provide them with a panacea on a regular basis and ask someone to teach them various exercises to help them improve their skills. So I'd like to give you a task for me to come up with when you have time. Speaking of this, he looked at Mr. Feng solemnly and said: "After this catastrophe is over, if I am still the Emperor of Haotian, please ask Mr. to be in charge of the financial work for me, buy a planet suitable for reclamation with some of the money, open up a nursery, sprinkle the soil given by the Yellow Emperor into it, and then plant a large number of elixirs, and take them to auction if there are more, do you think it is feasible?"

Mr. Feng's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "In that case, the elixir market in the universe will be greatly impacted! The price of the elixir will drop by at least half, and it is strange that others don't hate you to death!"

Ye Haotian said: "What are you afraid of, if there are so many elixirs like sweet potatoes, everyone can eat them if they want to!"

In the afternoon of the next day, Ye Haotian led Mr. Feng to see the emperor.

The emperor only glanced at Mr. Feng and shouted: "What a Mr. Fengsan, I have heard the name for a long time, and it is like thunder, please sit down!" Then he shouted to Ye Haotian: "You kid dare to deceive me! Get out of here! Wait outside the palace tomorrow morning, see how I clean you up! Mr. Feng will stay in the palace from now on, and he will no longer be your subordinate!"

Ye Haotian felt hit again, and said in his heart: "The emperor doesn't even have any demeanor, and he treats me like this, it's too unusual!"

Without saying a word, he turned around and walked out, and when he was about to reach the door, he suddenly stopped, turned back to Mr. Feng and said, "You serve the emperor here first, and I will let Ah Lian come to ......see you when I turn back."

Mr. Feng said excitedly: "No, no, I can get by for three or five days! I will go to you when I need it." ”

The emperor "hehe" sneered: "I actually used beauty tricks to buy people's hearts, hehe......"

Ye Haotian didn't like to take out the Jiupin Lotus Platform in front of the emperor, so he laughed twice with "hehe", turned around and left.

Mr. Feng did not return to the Six Princes' Mansion that night, and he didn't know whether to stay in the palace or not.

Another day passed, during the early dynasty, Ye Haotian waited outside the Jinluan Palace to wait for the emperor's edict.

Although he is a holy chess player and has three official residences, he is a fictitious title in name only, and he is not among the early dynasties.

He waited for a long time, and heard the noise in the hall, which was very lively, and there was no solemn scene at all.

But Wen Taishi Liu Heng's unruly voice said: "Holy Lord, I don't think it's a big deal to use the Japanese Kou, such a large-scale use of troops is really a waste of money for the people." ”

Then someone chimed in: "That's it, just two or three thieves, how can you be so troublesome?"

Then Taifu Song Jiuling shouted loudly: "Thieves? For decades, there have been frequent widows in the coastal provinces, and the people have been displaced. In recent years, it has intensified, especially this year! Before March, the Japanese invaded Fujian and Zhejiang on a large scale, and had already captured Funing, Lianjiang, Ningshou, Zhenghe, Ningde, Changle, Fuqing, and other places, and extended to Longyan, Songxi, Datian, Gutian, and Putian. Tens of thousands of people attacked repeatedly, burning, killing and looting, doing all kinds of evil, this is still called a thief?"

Then someone said: "Taifu is too exaggerated." I am afraid that it is a false thing. ”

Song Jiuling was furious, and then there was a quarrel in the Jinluan Palace.

After a long time, I only heard the emperor say: "Okay, you will know if this matter is true or false." At this moment, the deputy Qing Governor's Mansion and Ningshou County are here. Xuan two people enter the temple!"

Ye Haotian saw the two of them walk out from behind him, stepped into the Jinluan Palace, and then each complained bitterly about the evil state of the Japanese and answered the questions of hundreds of officials.

One of them described it in particular detail: "Ningshou County, where the minister is located, has been repeatedly attacked by the Japanese invaders. They killed people and set fires, dug graves, and even tied babies to poles, doused them with boiling water, and watched them cry and clap their hands and laugh......"

Hearing this, the hundred officials were filled with righteous indignation and said one after another: "Your Majesty, the Japanese are so rampant, and I am a big country in China, but I have been bullied, and if I don't fight back, my country's face will be lost." ”

In the midst of the uproar, a person suddenly played: "Your Majesty, the ministers heard that there was a reason for the great event, the reason was that the Japanese were in turmoil in the country, the Great War between the North and the South, the defeat of the Southern Dynasties a year ago, and the samurai, bureaucrats and ronins lost their support, so they fell into the sea, entrenched on the island, and became the Japanese Invaders." Ashikaga Yoshimitsu Shogun, who is now unifying the Japanese kingdom, wants to purge the remnants of the Southern Dynasty and fight against pirates at sea, while at the same time developing trade with our dynasty. So we might as well take a two-pronged approach, annihilating the Japanese on the one hand, and negotiating with Ashikaga Shogun on the other, so that the Japanese can be uprooted!"

The emperor was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Pan Wenliang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is really extraordinary! I immediately repaired a book and sent it to someone, but Fusang is thousands of miles away, and the sea is ruthless, so it is not easy to send it!"

Then it was Pan Wenliang's voice that said: "Your Majesty, an envoy from the Japanese Kingdom came to Beijing earlier, and he waited for several months without receiving an edict, and he left three months ago. The existing letters are here, please read them to the emperor. ”

The emperor was a little angry and said: "Aiqing read it out and listen to it!"

Pan Wenliang said: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty: Yu Naifu's general Ashikaga Yoshiman under the account of Emperor Hongmu of Fusang State is also full. A few years ago, the Southern Dynasty was pacified, Fusang was unified, and if we wanted to form a friendship with your country and exchange trade, we sent a special envoy to discuss various matters......"

Before he finished reading, he heard the emperor say angrily: "Who received the envoy of the Japanese Kingdom? Why didn't he report it to me?"

There was silence below.

Someone replied: "This is the decision of the regent, saying that the envoys of the Japanese kingdom will be sent back, and there is no need for the big country to negotiate any deals with the small people in the border fields." ”

Then there was no sound. The emperor didn't say anything more.

After a while, I heard Taifu Song Jiuling say: "Your Majesty, see if we can send someone to the Wa Kingdom to explain, maybe this matter can be reversed." After all, the best way to dismantle the Japanese is to start from within. ”

Immediately, one of them retorted loudly: "It's useless! It's too late! It was said that a chess master named 'Mugu Xu' came to Fusang Country before, and he swept through the Central Plains without encountering an opponent, and even Zhou Xijia and Xu Youxing were defeated under him, and Huang Shilong and Tian Tian didn't know where they were. Before leaving, Kitani laughed wildly: "I came on the orders of Ashikaga Shogun to inspect the details of your country and see if it is worthy of our friendship. Unexpectedly, I was greatly disappointed, and the big country was so sick that I couldn't even find a chess master, and I couldn't complain that tens of thousands of soldiers could not defeat our 800 soldiers!

Hearing these words, the surrounding ministers became a pot of porridge: "This person is not small, and he is not afraid that he will not be able to return to the Wa Kingdom after saying this?"

A voice probably from a military general snorted angrily: "Damn, if Lao Tzu is here, it's strange if he doesn't slate him!"

Finally, it was the voice of Taishi Liu Heng: "Inspector Zhang, who are you listening to? Is it true or false?"

The voice that had spoken earlier replied: "Master, when did I tell a lie? These were told to me by the prefect of Hangzhou himself! He also said that when Mu Guxu said this, there were many people gathered around him, and at that time, a few young people were not angry, and they went up to reason with him, and they pushed him under the argument. When Hangzhou Governor Shi Shen arrived when he heard the news, dozens of people had already been knocked to the ground by Mu Guxu. Seeing that he was extremely arrogant and ruthless, Shi Shen ordered his soldiers to take him down and prepare to take him back for a lesson. Unexpectedly, Mu Gu's skill was extremely high, and all twenty soldiers were injured by him, and three of them were brutally murdered. Frightened, Shi Shen turned around and wanted to leave.

At this moment, two righteous men arrived in time! With the two joining forces, they were able to defeat Mugu's virtual enemy. One of these two people is surnamed Wang, who is a new martial artist, and the other is surnamed Zhou, who is said to be the nephew of the former Taibao Zhou. The martial arts of the two of them are not strong, but Mu Guxu's skills are still above the two of them! They are forced to only parry, and they have no power to fight back.

Later, even the abbot of Lingyin Temple led dozens of masters to arrive, and Mugu Xucai saw that the situation was not good and fled.

However, what is shocking is that Mu Gu has extremely strong stamina, and has passed more than 10 levels in a row, escaped the pursuit and killing of dozens of horse masters with his bare feet, and finally fled thousands of miles into Gutian County, where the Japanese invaders are entrenched! ”

Hearing this, there was silence in the Jinluan Palace.

Ye Haotian was also shocked outside the hall, but he didn't expect to hear the news of Wang Xiaoshi and Zhou Shizhang here.

After being quiet for a long time, I suddenly heard the emperor say: "Xuansheng chess master Tian Tian come in!" The voice quickly came out.

Ye Haotian hurriedly entered the hall, knelt on his knees and shouted long live.

As a result, the emperor's unusually stern voice came from his ears: "Tian Tian, as a holy chess player, you have a three-rank official residence, and you can't serve the country, what use do you want?

Ye Haotian hated in his heart: "Dead old man, you actually treat me like this? Don't give me any face, it's really unreasonable!" But he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, it's really wronged!" I went to Dunhuang to collect chess games on the order of the prince, and I was ready to come back to compile the "Chess Dictionary of Ten Thousand Ages".

All the ministers present were speechless, waiting to see the jokes of this holy chess player who has not achieved an inch of merit and can ascend to the sky in one step just by pleasing the emperor, and has three official residences.

Only Taifu Song Jiuling interceded for him: "The holy chess warrior is excusable, please forgive the emperor." ”

The emperor glanced at Ye Haotian and said coldly: "Tian Tian, I can give you a chance to atone for your sins, send you to Fusang to discuss trade matters, if you can do it, I will add you to the rank of knight, if you lose your power and humiliate the country, and you will be embarrassed, you don't have to come back!

Some ministers have unbearable expressions, and everyone knows that Ye Hao is more than lucky!

In their impression, the Japanese people are already fierce and rude, and this time Ye Haotian went to the Japanese country to discuss trade matters, I am afraid it will be difficult to curry favor, and it is impossible to escape the humiliation.

I heard Taishi Liu Heng "hehe" and said with a smile: "The holy chess player is a genius in the world, and he will definitely be able to return as soon as possible." ”

Ye Haotian rolled his eyes and said, "May I ask the emperor, how can it be considered a success?"

The emperor said expressionlessly: "You must complete two major tasks, one is to negotiate a fair trade treaty, so that the dynasty cannot suffer losses." The second is not to be embarrassed, whether it is chess or any other competition, as long as the Japanese make a move, they will give me the next, if there is a defeat, I will treat you for the crime of losing power and humiliating the country. ”

This time, all the ministers looked at Ye Haotian with pity, as if they were looking at a lamb to the slaughter.

Ye Haotian deliberately pretended to be very frightened, and shouted: "It's not a pity for Weichen to die, I'm afraid that it will embarrass the emperor." Therefore, the minister has something to ask for, please ask the emperor for permission. ”

The emperor glared at him and said, "Speak!"

Ye Haotian said: "Please send more people to accompany the ministers, including ten internal masters, ten business elites, ten debaters and lobbyists, ten teachers and musicians, and ten Qinhuai singers...... In addition, Weichen's wife is resourceful, and the minister wants to walk with her and ask the emperor for permission!"

The ministers present were in an uproar.

Someone laughed and said: "To bring a musician from the teaching workshop, Qin Huai Geji, it's simply insulting to the national body!"

Someone said: "According to the custom, the envoy is not allowed to bring his family members with him, this is not good!"

The emperor waited for the crowd to finish the noise before he said two words softly: "Quasi-play!" and then "Retreat!" Then he turned around and left, leaving the ministers stunned and left in the palace.
