Chapter 244 Changes in Shuozhou (4000 words combined into one chapter)

Daming Palace, Zichen Palace.

Emperor Xianlong's eyes were gloomy, and his face was clouded with sorrow.

He has not spoken for a long time.

Both the maids and eunuchs knew that His Majesty was on the eve of fury at this time, so no one dared to touch His Majesty's bad luck at this time.

There is only one person who has been waiting by Emperor Xianlong's side.

This person is Zheng Jie, the Minister of Internal Affairs and the Minister of Internal Affairs, who is known as the internal minister.

Zheng Jie grew up with Emperor Xianlong since he was a child, and the relationship between the two is that of master and servant as well as brothers.

If Emperor Xianlong wanted to find someone who could speak his heart, then Zheng Jie would definitely be the best candidate.

"Look, the majestic governor of Jingzhao, he only knows how to shirk responsibility when things happen. I really hired the wrong person."

After holding it in for a long time, Emperor Xianlong couldn't hold it anymore, shook his head and threw a memorial to Zheng Jie.

After Zheng Jie took the memorial, he unfolded it respectfully.

He looked at it for a long time, and after watching it, he sighed and said: "Monsters are related to practitioners, and it is indeed not an area that Jing Zhaoyin can control. Although Mr. Han's move is unavoidable to shirk responsibility, it seems that it is too late to think about it carefully." Nothing is impossible."

"It's all right?"

Emperor Xianlong was a little unhappy when he heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said: "If all the officials in the court are like him, who only know how to shirk responsibility when encountering things, then who else can I use, who else can I dare to use?" ?”

As a superior, there are always many things to consider.

Emperor Xianlong boasted that he had reached the pinnacle in the use of imperial techniques, but in the final analysis it was still about balance.

The premise of balance is that there is a group of people who can be used to great effect.

And if all he can use is a group of drunks and rice bags, and only know how to pass the buck to each other, then what's the balance, what's the balance!
"Cultivators, practitioners, those who open their mouths and keep their mouths closed are practitioners. Does it mean that no one in the entire Chang'an City dares to interrogate monsters except the Yamen of bad people?"

Emperor Xianlong just felt angry, and threw out a celadon jug without any hassle.

The celadon jug hit the gold bricks of the main hall and immediately shattered into many pieces.

It was not without reason that Emperor Xianlong was so furious.

Although he is the Ninth Five-Year Lord and the holy son of heaven in the mouth of all people, all this is only limited to the secular world.

In the minds of cultivators, he is just an insignificant guy.

Will the head of the academy respect him?Will the Sword Master of Dongyue Jiange respect him?
Will the Vajra Guardians of Buddhism in the Western Regions respect him?

If it weren't for Zheng Jie, who was banned by the imperial city and loyal to protect the lord, his head would have been taken away by Wei Wuji.

Although he is the Son of Heaven, he cannot leave the Daming Palace or the Imperial City, because if he leaves here, he is nothing and his life will be in danger.

Emperor Xianlong was furious, his chest rose and fell sharply, like a sheepskin raft inflated and deflated repeatedly.

"Your Majesty, rest your anger."

Zheng Jie fell to his knees and pleaded guilty to Emperor Xianlong: "Your Majesty just said something wrong and angered His Majesty, please punish him."

Zheng Jie's behavior made it difficult for Emperor Xianlong to have a fit.

With a long sigh, he took two steps forward to help the extremely loyal old slave up and said, "I'm not blaming you, I'm blaming myself. I blame myself for not being able to gallop across the battlefield like Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong .But can only sit in this deep palace and play tricks, what kind of checks and balances."

The emperor's mental technique sounds unfathomable, but in fact it is just that.

But knowing it was one thing, and hearing it from the emperor himself was quite another.

"Your Majesty is a wise ruler who governs the world. Although he can't gallop on the battlefield like Taizu and Taizong, he can still strategize and plan the world."

This is where the old eunuch Zheng Jie is brilliant.

Everyone in the world will flatter Emperor Xianlong, but there are really few people who can flatter him as well as he does, without leaving any traces and at the right time.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Emperor Xianlong's face returned to calm, and even a hint of complacency could be faintly seen.

It's just that this smug look was well hidden by Emperor Xianlong, if you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all.

"But I'm just thinking, is Zhao Xun and Zhao Mingyun too popular recently? It's not a good thing for young people to be so popular. I'm considering whether to suppress him."

Emperor Xianlong knew that the case had been transferred from Jingzhao Mansion to a bad person, so the person in charge must be Zhao Xun.

This son has recently turned the entire Chang'an City upside down, and he is also famous, becoming known to everyone.

Emperor Xianlong didn't want this kind of situation to happen, it would make him feel a sense of loss.

The sense of loss as the Ninth Five-Year Lord.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Xun is just a knife, and His Majesty still has time to use him."

Zheng Jie did not directly give advice, but made a very vivid metaphor.

"a knife?"

"Yes, Zhao Xun is an incomparably sharp sword. His Majesty uses him now, and Zhao Xun's fame is bestowed by His Majesty. When His Majesty no longer needs him, he can put the sword back into its sheath. "

What Zheng Jie said was so ingenious that Emperor Xianlong felt very comfortable after hearing it.

Yes, he is the king, the son of heaven, why should he be angry with a child.

After all, this kid is just his eagle dog, and now is the time to use him.When he has no use value, he can be cunning and dead, and the birds can be hidden.

"I understand, let Zhao Xun investigate this case. I want to see what is behind this."

Qin Tianjian.

The supervisor, Yuan Tiangang, was fascinated by the gossip array.

His big apprentice Li Chunfeng waited on him respectfully, without saying a word.

After a long time, Yuan Tiangang pulled away from the state of samadhi, and talked eloquently: "Chunfeng, go to Qinglian Temple for me, and invite my little nephew to Qin Tianjian to have a talk."

Li Chunfeng frowned and said: "Master, you are clear about Taoist Qinglian's character. He does not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. If you want him to come, he will ask for something. If you invite him like this, he may not be willing. "

Yuan Tiangang stroked his beard and smiled, "It's okay, it's about his good disciple Zhao Xun and Zhao Mingyun, he will definitely come."

"It's about Zhao Xun?"

Li Chunfeng was taken aback for a moment.

"Yeah, something big is going to happen in Chang'an City recently, and this Zhao Xun is the center of the storm."

"But Zhao Xun is also your adopted son, so you are not worried at all?"

"I just did a fortune-telling, and the hexagram looks like a bad luck turning into a good luck. That is to say, this kid has his own aura and will be fine. But don't say that to my little nephew, or he will You won’t come. Just tell him that I have something important to discuss with him, which is related to Zhao Xun’s safety. Then he will definitely come here on his own initiative.”

Li Chunfeng nodded and said, "I will definitely bring the words to you."

The two exclusive skills of watching the mind and controlling the beast were perfectly used by Zhao Xun in the interrogation of monsters.

Within half an hour, he found some clues.

"These monsters are not from the southeast sea monster country, but from the north."

Zhao Xun said in a deep voice.

"Northern barbarians?"

Wangcai was quite surprised.

"Why are they northern barbarians?"

"I wouldn't be surprised what happens now."

Zhao Xun shook his head with a wry smile.

"At first, I thought it was just a conspiracy by the Southeast Monster Beast Kingdom. Later, I found out that the mighty Dongyue Sword Master had actually entered the arena. Later, it seemed that various tribes of the Western Regions were also involved."

Zhao Xun paused and said, "Would the Nanman witches and Gu masters be involved? No one knows."

Jia Xingwen's face was a little heavy.

"If this is the case, the matter is of great importance. We must report to the court as soon as possible."

Now it is obviously beyond the scope of personal grievances, which involves national wars.

At this moment, someone suddenly came to report that the immortal Li Chunfeng and Li Daochang came to visit.

All three were taken aback.

Zhao Xun rushed out immediately.

"What kind of wind brought Li Daochang here, but my adoptive father has something to tell?"

"That's right, my mentor asked me to tell you that there will be major events happening in Chang'an City in the near future, and you are the center of the storm. He told me to come and tell you in advance, just to tell you to prepare early."

"."

Zhao Xun yelled in his heart, do these big guys like to talk half-talked?
The same is true of the head of the mountain, and the same is true of Yuan Tiangang, the supervisor of Qin Tianjian.

This is not a charade, is it really asking Zhao Xun to guess a little bit?

"Okay, but if something big happens, the foster father shouldn't just stand by and watch, right?"

Zhao Xun was seeking a guarantee from Li Chunfeng.

After all, he is still a sixth-rank practitioner now, and facing a group of demon sect practitioners alone is no joke.

Even if he has this heart, his strength will not allow it.

"The adoptive father didn't say anything, but I don't think he will sit idly by."

Li Chunfeng sincerely gave his opinion, and then said in a deep voice: "I have brought the words, now I can go. Take care."

Immediately, Li Chunfeng turned around and left without taking a cloud with his sword.

Wangcai stared at Li Chunfeng's back foolishly, and said with emotion: "Li Jianxian is really handsome."

Zhao Xun shrugged his shoulders disdainfully: "It's almost enough, you're not chasing love."

"Ok?"

Wangcai was stunned and said, "What is love teasing?"

"Uh, it's an idol."

Zhao Xun explained helplessly.

"What is an idol?"

"It's the object of vomiting."

Zhao Xun was really speechless, so he made a bad joke.

"The object of vomiting is really interesting."

"Forget it, let's not talk about that. Closer to home, I think Li Jianshen has conveyed at least one very important message here, that is, the Mozong is really going to attack Chang'an City."

Zhao Xun returned to a serious state, and said word by word: "As bad people, we naturally have to take action. But first, as Brother Jia said, we have to report the information we have obtained to the court. It is related to the national war. It's not as simple as a personal grievance. The rest of the matter can only wait and see."

Dozens of monsters and hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of monsters are completely different concepts.

Zhao Xun and the others can rely on their own strength to fight against dozens of monsters, but in the face of thousands of monsters, they have to rely on the power of the court and the army.

"I will also try to find a way at the academy."

Zhao Xun paused.

In addition to the imperial court, the attitude of practitioners in the world is also very important.

In terms of Taoism, Yuan Tiangang has already stated that he is half-neutral and leans towards the court.

Therefore, the attitude of the academy is particularly critical.

If the head of the mountain can clearly express his support for guarding Chang'an, then Zhao Xun will not have any fear.

In the whole world, there should be no one who can defeat the head of the mountain, right?

Even Wei Wuji, the arrogant and unruly master of the Dongyue Sword Pavilion, is also afraid of the head of the mountain and dare not do anything to Zhao Xun?
Otherwise, why would he need to rely on the hand of the master of the Wa Kingdom, and just end up in person.

Still afraid of giving people a handle.

“Hopefully we can get through this crisis smoothly.”

Now that Mr. Feng is not in Chang'an, among the bad guys, there is a need for someone who can carry the banner.

Zhao Xun had no hope for those purple robes.

They may be able to hold up the scene on the surface, but they are all vulgar people who cherish their feathers and preserve themselves.

Zhao Xun felt that instead of counting on them, it is better to rely on himself.

Shuozhou, Jiedu envoy's mansion.

Wang Zhongyi was reading a Bingbutang newspaper.

Suddenly, the soldiers rushed in, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Master Jiedushi, something is wrong."

Wang Zhongyi raised his eyebrows, and said displeasedly: "What kind of event makes you so flustered, what's wrong with that?"

"Yes, it's a monster"

Hearing the word monster, Wang Zhongyi's face suddenly became grim.

"What did you say? A monster?"

"It's the monsters who went south in a big way, and bypassed Shuozhou City."

"When did this happen!"

Wang Zhongyi was furious for a moment, and suddenly grabbed the soldier by the collar and roared, "Why didn't you say it earlier."

"The monsters. The monsters escaped our fortress. They restrained their aura, and we couldn't detect it."

"hiss"

Wang Zhongyi just felt like falling into an ice cave.

Many northern monsters have gone south, what does this mean?
What does it mean for monsters to deliberately avoid Shuozhou City?
They are heading for Chang'an City!
These beasts!

As Shuozhou Jiedushi, Shuozhou is Wang Zhongyi's defense zone, and he has the responsibility to guard the safety of Shuozhou.

But compared to guarding the safety of Shuozhou, Wang Zhongyi's more important responsibility is to defend the capital.

Shuozhou is hundreds of miles north of Chang'an City, and it is the most important barrier to defend the capital.

As long as this barrier exists, there will be no danger to Chang'an, no danger to the royal family, no danger to His Majesty.

But now Wang Zhongyi actually watched the monster slip away from under his nose, his defense zone was like a decoration.

If the monsters really besieged Chang'an on a large scale, then His Majesty the Emperor will blame him, and he must be sentenced to death.

hiss.
Wang Zhongyi felt like he was sweating coldly.

"Hurry up, prepare your horses, and summon the army to gather at the school grounds."

"Master Jiedushi, what is this going to do?"

The soldier still looked dull.

"What to do, of course, is to go to Jingqin King to rescue him. The monsters are going south, and they are heading for Chang'an. Now I let the monsters slip away from Shuozhou, and I can only atone for my sin."

Wang Zhongyi was very desperate at the moment, he had already been sent to prison by Emperor Xianlong once, he knew what it was like to be in prison, so naturally he didn't want to experience it again.

"Okay, little one, let's pass the order."

After the soldiers left, Wang Zhongyi let out a long sigh, looked towards the south, and said silently in his heart: I hope it won't be too late.
