138, Bai Shouxiang Knows that He Still Holds the Sword
Chapter 139 Bai Shou Xiang Zhi still holds the sword
Moyun Palace...
Another way of cultivation different from the main world...
Xu Xing, who was in Shi Yuyan's arms, was suddenly swept into the air by Kou Chun's big sleeves. He did not show any fear on his face. Instead, he closed his eyes and began to constantly ponder the conversation between Wu Yi and Kou Chun when they fought just now.
The three words Moyun Palace first came out of Kou Chun's mouth.
The last time Shi Yuyan and Kou Chun met was in Moyun Palace. Then Wu Yi saw Kou Chun and said, "Kou Chun, you got this little bit of luck in Moyun Palace."
It can be seen that Moyun Palace must be an important secret place in this world.
"This Wu Yi's moves..."
"It is somewhat similar to the blood shadow that fought with me at the beginning. Could it be that this world is the world where I came from Qingli World with the help of the teleportation array."
"In that case, the Heavenly Demon Copper Tablet is very likely to be in this world?"
Xu Xing frowned.
He also saw Kou Chun's strength just now. If he did not hide it, his strength would be about the same as his, or even worse than his. If his real body in the real world came, he would be able to kill Kou Chun in less than a hundred moves.
Because the shortcomings of Kou Chun and Wuyi are too obvious.
The former only cultivates the soul, the body is stagnant, and the body is a corpse, which has flaws everywhere. The latter only cultivates the body, which seems strong, but the speed is too far behind.
Wuyi can't hit Kou Chun.
But his real body's dead wood flying sword and golden cicada sword pill can easily hit Kou Chun.
"A world with a shortage of inheritance."
Xu Xing shook his head.
Perhaps these two ways of cultivation will have other mysteries in the future. But now, just from his naked eyes, the ways of cultivation of these two people are not as good as the immortal way he cultivates.
When he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt the feeling of being suspended in the air.
Looking at a glance, he had come to a valley with Shi Yuyan and Kou Chun.
"In the Moyun Palace... In addition to the inheritance left by the ancient war god, I also found the inheritance left by another person. That person was born 1,300 years ago, broke through the void, and left this world..."
Kou Chun retracted his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, turned his back to Shi Yuyan, and slowly talked about the past, "The Demon Emperor You Taigu was extremely talented and created a unique skill called "Tai Su Wangchen Tian Gong"."
After saying this, he paused for a while, then chuckled and said, "The jade pendant that I left for Miss Shi was just a promise to help Miss Shi once. Now that this promise has been fulfilled, Miss Shi can take your son away from here."
"Leave?"
Shi Yuyan's body trembled.
Once they were out of Kou Chun's protection, they might as well stay in Sheyang Marquis's Mansion. At least in Sheyang Marquis's Mansion, the only one who targeted them was the wife of Sheyang Marquis.
And outside, her enemies were countless.
"Does Miss Shi think...I, Kou Chun, will always serve you without profit?"
Kou Chun sneered.
It was true that he admired Shi Yuyan back then.
But Shi Yuyan chose Wuyi and abandoned him.
They had long since severed their relationship!
Now that Sheyang Hou Wuyi has failed Shi Yuyan, Shi Yuyan is looking for him again...
Is he Kou Chun such a lowly person?
"The Taisu Wangchentian Gong..."
"I can practice this technique."
Shi Yuyan knew that Kou Chun was definitely not talking nonsense when he mentioned the Demon Emperor You Taigu just now. Rather, practicing this technique was the condition for Kou Chun to protect them, mother and son.
She was such a smart person that she understood it after a little thought.
"But after I practice this technique."
"You must accept my son as your disciple!"
Shi Yuyan gritted her teeth and made a request to Kou Chun.
She had made up her mind to die three months ago. If it weren't for the "Wu Xing" bringing her the evergreen spirit, she would have embroidered the map of the country and died with all her heart and blood.
As long as the "Wu Xing" has a good way out.
It's not impossible for her to die.
Besides, Kou Chun's request now is just to let her learn a technique.
"This child has an extraordinary physique..."
"Wu Yi has made a mistake."
Kou Chun looked back and glanced at the baby in Shi Yuyan's arms. He smiled and said, "I would love to accept him as a disciple. From now on, I have someone to entrust my legacy to."
People who practice "Tai Su Wang Chen Tian Gong" will gradually lose all emotions...
At that time, Shi Yuyan will no longer be the romantic girl he met, not the concubine who has deep feelings for Wu Yi.
Besides, a child of a few months old can't remember things.
Whether it is for a disciple or a Taoist weapon, it is an extremely cost-effective business.
"Sure enough..."
"There is no free lunch in the world."
Xu Xing saw this scene and felt calm.
The later the practice, no matter how talented or not, the time spent on practicing the technique will continue to increase accordingly. With his qualifications, it would take several years to master the innate martial arts now. It is no big deal to spend ten years practicing the technique.
If the level of the practice technique "Tai Su Wang Chen Tian Gong" is low...
Then it will not have much impact on Shi Yuyan. After his strength recovers, everything will be easy to solve.
If the level of this "Tai Su Wang Chen Tian Gong" is high, then there is no need to worry. It will take at least ten or twenty years to practice this technique. By then, as long as he does not die prematurely, he will have the ability to solve all of this and stop Shi Yuyan from continuing to practice this technique.
…
…
Return to the real world.
Xu Xing calculated the time accurately and closed the door for seven days.
He was still a baby in the Bloodline World.
When he was with Shi Yuyan, he dared to secretly practice the "Evergreen Dao Sutra" in order to recover his strength as soon as possible.
But when he was with Kou Chun, he was as cautious as usual.
Pretending to be a normal baby, he ate, drank, defecated and urinated every day and slept.
Therefore, he didn't need to spend too much energy in the Bloodline World now. It was just right to use this time to deal with court affairs and take charge of the court again, so as to pass the throne to Xu Zhang...
As soon as he walked out of the secret room, Queen Zhao Yunniang sent the results of the trial of the three judges of Yu Ci to the side hall of Ziwei Palace.
"Your Majesty has not been in charge of government for many years..."
"I don't know that you are an official now. I added some notes to the memorial written by Yu Ci to Your Majesty."
Zhao Yunniang said.
It is a taboo for the harem to interfere in politics.
But she has been interfering in politics for twelve years, so it won't hurt to do it for one or two more days.
After all, Xu Xing had already said that he would not sit on the throne for too long, and when the government was stable, he would pass it on to Xu Zhang. From now on, he would focus on the immortal way. Therefore, the two emperors and empresses did not need to be too cautious in getting along with each other.
"It seems that Yu Ci is not stupid..."
"You know that this attack is not only aimed at his followers, but also at Gong Yangyi's followers."
Xu Xing opened the memorial, glanced at it casually, and smiled.
He deliberately let Yu Ci, the leader of the abdication, go down, not only to suppress Yu Ci's family. The target was also Gong Yangyi. There must not be only one voice left in the court.
Compared with Yu Ci, Gong Yangyi was more feared.
"It is said that Gong Yangyi put on the mink coat bestowed by His Majesty, and when he left the palace, he fainted in front of the sedan chair. Now he is still sick at home and does not see outsiders."
Zhao Yunniang poured tea for Xu Xing and told the little things that happened outside the palace.
"Gong Yangyi is a smart man."
"What do you mean by fainting from the heat..."
"He saw me back and wanted to use the excuse of illness to leave."
Xu Xing raised his eyebrows.
The meaning of giving Gong Yangyi a mink coat is that no matter how many "mink coats" are useless under the scorching sun. It is a hint that Gong Yangyi should retreat bravely and return the power to him as the emperor.
"But..."
Xu Xing dragged out the tone, "Gong Yangyi doesn't seem to want to give up the power in his hands. He reported illness. If I deprive him of his power as the prime minister, people in the world will say that I am heartless and don't treat meritorious officials well. His move also hides the trick of retreating to advance."
Gong Yangyi's report of illness has already been invincible.
Whether it is to use this as an excuse to leave or to retreat to advance, it is feasible.
Whether there is a mink coat or not, it does not affect Gong Yangyi's doing so.
The only difference is that with the mink coat given by him, Gong Yangyi can "take advantage of the situation".
"Announce the decree..."
"Add 2,000 households to the Duke of Yiguo in name only, and 500 households in reality."
Xu Xing glanced at the attendant sitting behind the curtain in the hall and asked him to draft a memorial.
Gongyang Yi was named Duke of Yiguo by him for his contribution to the founding of the country.
"Your Majesty's intention..."
Zhao Yunniang acted as a supporting role at the right time.
"Gongyang Yi forgot."
"He is a minister, and I am the emperor."
"If he refuses to give up power, I... will do my best."
Xu Xing explained to Zhao Yunniang softly.
The white-haired prime minister still holds the sword, and the senior officials of the rich family laugh and twitch their hats.
At this time, Xu Xing thought of a line from the poem that Su Xueshi wrote on the table with tea when he was talking with him. When the two drank tea, it seemed that Su Xueshi was talking about his relationship with Ouyang Shuda, but he was also talking about what happened after he, the emperor, returned to the court.
The affairs of the court cannot be hidden from the people in the market.
They cannot be hidden from... the storyteller!
…
……
Shenjing, Gongyang Mansion.
In theory, most ministers like to use their titles as plaques in front of their mansions. But Gongyang Yi is an exception, because his position as prime minister is greater than the title of Yiguogong.
"Your Majesty, I, Gongyang Yi, thank you for your grace..."
In the bedroom of the back house, Gongyang Yi half-lying up with a hunched body, his knees covered with a quilt, not wearing court clothes, but only wearing a white silk inner garment.
He bowed to the eunuch who announced the edict, and then received the imperial edict.
As the prime minister of the current dynasty and an old minister, Gongyang Yi was grateful to the emperor, and he was seriously ill, so he did not need to wear court clothes to thank the emperor for the edict.
"The elder..."
"Your Majesty, before you announced the edict, you must not hurt the elder's body because of the announcement..."
The eunuch who announced the edict exchanged polite words with Gongyang Yi.
As soon as the eunuch left, Gong Yangyi stopped pretending. He got off the bed and walked to the eight-immortal table, just about to ask his son to pour him a cup of cold tea. But suddenly he remembered that the teapot was stained by the eunuch's hand, so he frowned and asked the servant to change a pot of tea for him with a new tea set.
"Father, the emperor... is not the crown prince Xu Zhang, nor the queen..."
"Deceiving your majesty like this..."
Gong Yangyi's eldest son Gong Yangde bowed to Gong Yangyi and whispered a word of advice.
"I know your father."
"It's just... I'm not willing..."
After pouring a cup of tea by himself, Gong Yangyi shook his head and sighed.
Back then, he abandoned Shang Heshang and joined Xu Xing, which was enough to show his wisdom. However, at this moment, he did not fail to see the danger hidden in the undercurrent of the court, but he was unwilling to step down after sitting in the position of prime minister.
He is only in his fifties now.
It's still a long way to go to beg for his bones.
"If father insists on doing this..."
"Please judge me as unfilial and expel me from home."
Seeing this, Gong Yangde immediately knelt on the ground, grieving and forcing Gong Yangyi to make a decision.
Father is a good man and a hero.
Gong Yangde stayed with Gong Yangyi for a long time, and he also knew the ways of strategizing.
He knew that if his father Gong Yangyi still insisted on fighting against Emperor Tiande, not only Gong Yangyi would die, but the whole family would die. The eunuch's announcement this time was ostensibly a reward, but in fact, it was the last ultimatum given by Emperor Tiande to Gong Yangyi, his Excellency.
"Come on! Come on! Come on!"
Seeing his son like this, Gong Yangyi had no choice but to accept his fate.
…
…
The next day.
When Gong Yangyi entered the court, he said that he was a criminal who deceived the emperor and deliberately concealed his illness...
It is a grave sin to deceive the emperor.
The behavior of the chief minister of the cabinet instantly caused an uproar among the government and the public.
Smart people can see the struggle between the monarch and his ministers, and Gong Yangyi's acceptance of his fate in the end. But stupid people only think that the relationship between the two monarchs and ministers is very deep, so Gongyang Yi could not bear to deceive Emperor Tiande and was willing to accept the crime.
"You and I, monarch and minister, have been together for a long time..."
Xu Xing first set the tone for this matter.
Don't punish Gong Yangyi.
Then, he went on and on to minimize the political impact of this matter, "Once in Siming Mountain, Mr. Gongyang took sick leave due to his busy schedule, but in fact he secretly went out to have fun..."
"Mr. Gongyang reported illness today, as usual..."
"It's just that now I am the king and Mr. Gongyang is the minister, so I have committed the crime of deceiving the king. But you and I are good friends. In terms of friendship, what crime is Mr. Gongyang guilty of?"
Xu Xing changed his words and said:
Gong Yangyi went to the palace to plead guilty... It was a political statement, which meant that he, the chief minister of the cabinet, would no longer fight against Xu Xing, the emperor of Tiande. The rest of the gang members can take a break as long as they need to, and he won't get involved.
As for the surrender of "political opponents", the victor must not kill them all.
This is an unspoken rule.
Therefore, his remarks left everyone with face.
