Turn a beast into a god

Chapter 292 The Mad King Luo Yu
In the midsummer of the 235th year of the Jialuo Empire, the imperial court was in turmoil, and rumors arose in Yongyao City. The trend of appeals and accusations prevailed. The Emperor Jialuo, Luochen, was furious, and strictly investigated the parties and powerful families from top to bottom. Beheading and beheading hands in the bustling city, such cruel actions made the subjects in Yongyao City feel cold physically and mentally, and they dared not discuss state affairs indiscriminately.

Those who corrupted the law were frightened and could not sleep peacefully at night. The gates of the mansion were closed, and they did not dare to light up the candle lamps, for fear that they would be the next one to be ransacked. There are not a few generals who are respectful, and being framed and wronged by treacherous officials has become a fad for a while, and all the virtuous officials saw the tragic situation of being arrested and beheaded in the street.

The current situation is that civil and military officials bite dogs, and the imperial court is intricate and complicated. No matter how clean and honest, there will be people who take advantage of their positions to do convenient things. Every morning is like a grand debate meeting. You sing and I come on stage, lively Extraordinary, even more noisy than the common people selling vegetables in alleys and markets.

Luo Chen was sitting on the throne, and took the strong tea from the eunuch's hand. The tea had been tested for poison, and it was confirmed that there were no additives, no pollution, and it would be fine to drink. All the officials above the court, biting each other, rolled their eyes, as if they had an idea.

Blowing on the tea foam, Luo Chen felt disgusted, he waved the teacup casually, and spoke softly.

"From now on, there will be no tea stains in my tea, only tea soup, understand?"

"The slave deserves to die, the slave is convicted!"

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows lightly, with a faint smile floating on his face, he said slowly.

"It doesn't matter. Don't be afraid of me like a tiger. You are my most convenient servant. Put the teacup aside and watch this farce with me."

"Slaves obey!"

Looking at the officials of all sizes in the court, all of them were red-faced and hysterical. Although they were wearing official uniforms, they all seemed to be barking like wolfhounds, spitting and spitting.

All the officials in the court, big and small, are quick-witted and well-informed. They are already familiar with how to deal with them when they are caught by their opponents. The opponent's tricks have already been purchased at a high price through Baixiao Pavilion, and no one cares about the local people's sentiments. , on the contrary, the officials kept tearing each other up, and a lot of gossip was involved, which made Luo Chen fascinated by hearing it, and it was even more fascinating than delicious food.

In this world without mobile phones, TVs, and the Internet, Luochen was almost suffocated. Finally, he found out about the rotten things among the officials. This made him feel very excited, and he took pleasure in learning the latest The rumor made him ecstatic.

Baixiao Pavilion looks like an intelligence agency in the Lingwu world, but it actually belongs to the royal family. Now it is controlled by Jia Luodi Luochen, collecting and selling information, and all the money obtained is used to expand the national treasury. Scraping off the oil and water accumulated by the officials in the past, filling the national treasury, alleviating the losses caused by the wars in recent years, and taking this opportunity to drag out the officials who disliked them. It hit Jia Luodi's chin.

"It turned out that Master Chen's youngest daughter had an affair with the second son of the Wang family. It's a pity that the young lady of the Chen family is going to marry the youngest of Gong Siyao's mansion, but the young lady of the Chen family is pregnant. Isn't that... The youngest of the Gong family wants to be a father? Hahahaha, the old Wang next door is wonderful!"

"The Jiang family is upright. Jiang Sitong is quite handsome, but unfortunately his wife is ugly and difficult to be elegant. It is not advisable to beat a mandarin duck with a club. It is not appropriate for the couple to reconcile... Well, let me choose another one." A sweet-looking little lady, promised to marry Jiang Sitong, the appearance of a man and woman must be a good match, if she has a few children, it will be the best, and the appearance must be improved for me!"

In recent days, I have learned a lot of shocking news. Luo Chen is thirsty for knowledge, and has not slept well for the past few nights. If it hadn't been for the notification from the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion that the national treasury was full, it would be enough to deal with any wars that would follow. Luo Chen still wanted to continue uncovering the many secrets of civil and military officials. The children of these aristocratic families are really idiots and resentful women. They are even worse than those in TV dramas. They can really be extracted one by one and transcribed into "Strange Tales of Yongyao" , Write hundreds of stories without repetition.

"Report to my emperor, the old minister has something important to report!"

A muffled voice resounded through the court, and the officials who were blushing were at a loss for a moment. With their reddened necks, they turned their heads to look at Qian Jin, Minister of the Ministry of War, who had already walked to the front. But his gaze was extremely firm, his haggard skin could not hide his determination, those piercing eyes were in stark contrast to his figure, his back was stooped but he insisted on sticking out his chest, with a total of nine A spiritual knot is shining a little bit of light.

"What is Qian Shangshu going to play? Come, give me a seat!"

"Yes."

The four eunuchs lifted up the chairs and moved behind Qian Jin. They wanted to step forward to support Qian Jin, but Qian Jin pushed them away with a flick of his sleeve. His disgusted eyes were undisguised. He was so stubborn that it was difficult for him to allow eunuchs to approach him. He had been in the army for decades. What I dislike the most are these sissies who have lost their three legs.

The eunuch was also savvy, seeing that the humerus loyal minister was acting hypocritical, and the emperor couldn't show his displeasure under his nose, so he suppressed his desire to make a fuss and left the court.Qian Jin saluted and thanked Emperor Jia Luo, then sat down on the chair, as if he had exhausted all his strength.

"Your Majesty, the old man has been in the army for decades, and fought no less than a thousand battles on the battlefield. I dare not take credit for my pride, but rely on my high achievements. I just want to ask my emperor for a military order to set the record straight!"

"Oh? Why is Qian Shangshu begging for the Eagle Talisman of the Five Armies?"

"Brigadier Lu of the Northern Army Brigade has been missing for more than a month and there is still no news. The morale of the army in the northern border is weak. The qualifications of the three battalion commanders are still inexperienced and difficult to convince the public. The country cannot be without a king for a day, and the army cannot be without a commander for a day. Please also choose A good general of the empire, go to the northern border to preside over the overall situation, help the country, and guard the frontier for the empire!"

"Lu Xulei led the army in the northern border but teamed up with the people of Danzong. He had ulterior motives and feared disobedience. Today, he is silent, causing the three armies in the northern border to be in danger of mutiny. It is really useless!"

"If we had known his character earlier, we should have received this man's military power as soon as possible, and sent the imperial court's brave generals to the northern border, so as not to cause more than half of the casualties in the fight against the ice crystal snow demon clan!"

All the officials, civil and military, were full of emotion and excitement. There was a continuous stream of sarcasm and ridicule, and their tone was very harsh. They were all excited, as if they wanted to play in person, belittling Lu Xulei to nothing.

Luo Chen smiled at the fierce debate among the officials, and they all criticized Lu Xulei for his disadvantage in commanding troops. He had expected this matter, and he had planned it well. If you want to make a proposal first, then you will agree with him at the right time, so as to facilitate the dispatch of the general.

Wu Tianmou saw that the debate among the officials had subsided, he bowed his body and took a step forward, bowed his head in salute, with his arms hanging in front of his chest, his humility made people dare not lie.The whispering stopped abruptly, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Wu Tianmou.

"What's Wu Aiqing's opinion?"

"Your Majesty, what Qian Shangshu said is true. The northern border has gone through hardships, and the remaining soldiers are less than [-]%. Brigadier Lu has not returned to the army after fighting against the ice crystal snow demon. Perhaps he was seriously injured and could not return in a short time. Perhaps Ma Ge's corpse died in a treacherous terrain, and it was difficult to find his body under the snow cover. All kinds of situations are possible. The humble minister sees that Lu Xulei has devoted more than [-] years to his duty to prevent the ice crystal snow demon from going south to harass the people for the empire. Hard work, if you say that Brigadier Lu colluded with Dan Zong for evil intentions, I will never believe it. I also hope that His Majesty will make a holy judgment, and you will not be easily charged with the crime of treason and collaborating with the enemy, so as not to chill the hearts of the people of the world!"

"Everything Aiqing said is reasonable. Lu Xulei has worked hard and made great achievements. In the bitter and cold place in the north, he has never heard a single complaint from Brigadier Lu. All the reports are from the Li Guojun newspaper. Recalling the past, Gu was once The emperor dispatched to the north just in time for the Ice Crystal Snow Demon to make trouble. I have witnessed the violent and crazy appearance of the Ice Crystal Snow Demon. It is not easy to defend it for many years. If Brigadier Lu did not personally teach me close defense and other physical skills, I would have died at the hands of my elder brother. If anyone accuses Brigadier Commander Lu of leaving his post without authorization and causing chaos in the barracks, I will allow him to be executed as an example to others."

When the officials heard the meaning of Luo Chen's words, they were all terrified and dared not speak out.These few fleeting words of recollection narrated how he did not please the former emperor and sent him to the northern border for three years, and how the eldest prince secretly sent an assassin to murder Luo Chen, etc., causing cold sweat to ooze from the backs of all the officials.

Back then, the group of ministers urged Luo Chen to be expelled from Changning Province, and he struggled to survive in the ice and snow of the northern border for more than two years. Now, the civil servants and generals who are still in the court heard Luo Chen bring up the old things again, how could they not be frightened? , In an instant, I felt that my head was in a different place, and my life was not long.

At that time, in order to protect the stability of the crown prince, the first prince regarded Luo Chen, who was far away in the north, as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh, and tried his best to make Luo Chen stay in the snow mountain forever, but unfortunately he failed to do so, which also made Luo Chen bear , a bloodthirsty character, if you are in a good mood, it doesn't matter, if you are in a bad mood, you can kill an official to add to the fun, and let the civil and military officials appreciate the whole process of criminals being quartered by five horses. This is no longer simply killing chickens to scare monkeys. PUA is extremely cruel.

"What? Didn't you all have your own opinions and positions just now? Why don't you speak now? Speak freely, dear friends?"

Luo Chen's tone was yin and yang, all the ministers remained silent, neck and head bowed, looking at the third leg, as if they were all puppets on a string. Dare to say anything.

Seeing that everyone was pretending to be deaf and dumb at this moment, Luo Chen felt displeased, and lost all original interest, then looked at Qian Jin who jumped out to make trouble first, and asked in a deep voice.

"Qian Shangshu, you are a person who knows people and makes good use of them. You are also quite insightful about marching and fighting. You have made great achievements and made great contributions. Let me ask you, but you just say it's okay. What kind of generals are sent to the northern border to help today? , is it appropriate to take command and guard northern Xinjiang?"

Sitting on the rattan chair at the moment, Qian Jin felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. Although he was old, he still felt sorry for his life.His own death is nothing, but it is a great disaster for the juniors in the clan to be implicated.According to Luochen's usual temperament, the more he praises his past achievements at this moment, the more he will remind him one after another. Qian Jin regrets the act of speaking out, but now that he is the leader, he has to say a few words, pausing for a few seconds to consider his words After the urn said.

"Reporting to my emperor, the stability of the northern border can ensure the national destiny of the Jialuo Empire, and the five provinces of Jialuo will have no worries. In my opinion, some elites of the Shenwei Army should be mobilized immediately. The recruits will be divided into three groups, and they will meet at the intersection of Husong Province and Dingbai Province. Now that the northern border has just experienced a catastrophe, and the morale of the army is fluctuating, we should take this opportunity to appoint a very prestigious general to sit in charge. This person is recommended by the old man Wang Chengliang, Minister of the Ministry of War, General Wang has just made a great achievement in pacifying the war, which is obvious to all. The empire is at the moment when the military fortune is prosperous, leading the fierce generals who have won many battles and victories will surely be able to defend the northern border and stabilize our Jialuo country."

Hearing this, Luo Chen frowned, and fell silent, as if weighing the pros and cons of it.

The ministers also talked about this and whispered to each other.

Wang Chengliang has studied the art of war since he was a child. He has a prominent family and has flourished in martial arts for generations.He has cultivated to the level of the Spirit Emperor, has extraordinary courage, is good at strategy, likes to conquer, and has a heart for making contributions. He has been in the army for more than ten years and has become quite prestigious. He is already one of the best figures in the army.

Many civil servants speculated that Luo Chen would transfer Wang Chengliang to the province of Puluo to guard the frontier and confer the title of Great General of the West, so that this young and promising general would continue to shine and drive away the wolves of the Loulan Dynasty. demeanor.

At this moment, he was recommended by Minister of War Qian Jin to send him to the northern frontier. His military rank is a bit higher. The new Brigadier Commander Wang of the Northern Frontier Brigade has the rank of General Zhenbei, which is two ranks higher than General Zhengxi. The military achievements are even more impressive, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that if Luo Chen accepts, Wang Chengliang's military career will be considered to be over.

What kind of place is the northern border? A place where ordinary people don’t want to stay, where neighboring countries don’t want to go around the north and drive troops south across the mountains. Except for dwarves and ice crystal snow demons, there are no other places where spirit beasts are active. It is a place where green can't see any bright colors. If Wang Chengliang is sent to northern Xinjiang, it will really be a waste of time with no job on his head, and there will be no good days to speak of.

What's more, if Wang Chengliang led his troops to the northern border, his clan's family members would definitely be held hostage in Yongyao Capital. The child was under three years old. If Wang Chengliang was sent to the northern border, his wife would really be left as a widow.

The death of the cunning rabbit and the cooking of the lackeys have been the same since ancient times. Wang Chengliang, who is in full swing, may also be implicated by this, and go to the snowy area of ​​​​the northern border to calm down. He will never leave the northern border without a ten-year term of office.

"According to what Qian Shangshu said, General Wang has made great achievements in pacifying Jialan and recruiting Anping Tianjun. , Guard the northern border for our Jia Luo Empire, keep the world peaceful, and expand the empire's territory!"

"Protect the peace of the world and expand the territory of the empire!"

"Protect the peace of the world and expand the territory of the empire!"

"Protect the peace of the world and expand the territory of the empire!"

The officials agreed, and they expected it to be so. Wang Chengliang was young and promising, and had killed countless enemies. Luo Chen feared that the master would make him rise up and down secretly. The emperor's mind, the emperor's mind...

"Your Majesty, the last minister has something to say, and I don't know if it should be said or not." Wu Tianmou narrowed his eyes, saluted with both hands, and nodded slightly with a humble attitude.

"What's the best opinion of Shenxiang Wu? You might as well speak freely!"

"Your Majesty, the fifth prince, Luo Yu, was young and sick, suffering from hidden diseases, and often had headaches and fevers. The Gong doctor had suggested many times to let the fifth prince leave Yongyao and go to a secluded and cold place to recuperate his body. Unfortunately, it was too late. The fifth prince has burnt his body, looks like a fool, and behaves badly. There are constant rumors in the imperial court. It is inappropriate to keep Luo Yu in the imperial court. It is better to escort him to the northern army. It can also protect him comprehensively, and perhaps heal his headache and restore his sanity."

Shrimp pork heart!

Shrimp pork heart!
Qian Shangshu recommended Wang Chengliang before, and later Wu Shenxiang recommended Luo Yu. The wind direction this morning is really very strange, very strange!
Luo Chen pondered for a while, with a bitter expression on his face, full of regret, and spoke slowly.

"My son was young and intelligent, but he was suffering from a serious disease, so that his mind was not clear, his mind was not clear, he looked stupid, and he did stupid things that insulted the majesty of the royal family. My family will accompany my son to the northern border, take care of his daily life, and use a dead horse as a living horse doctor. I hope my son can recover his sanity and return to Yongyaodu..."

"My Emperor Shengming!"

"My Emperor Shengming!"

"My Emperor Shengming!"

After this topic was revealed, the officials continued to bite each other and accuse each other of despicable behavior. Flicking his sleeves and retreating from the court, he was very angry.

……

Yongyao Capital, the Imperial Court, and the Fifth Prince's Mansion.

A servant was running around in the courtyard, the corridor was long and the courtyard was deep, the servant ran panting for a long time, his eyes were scanning the courtyard, not letting go of every inch of the ground, his eyes were so wide that they were about to protrude.

Finally, he found his target in the rockery near the pond in the other courtyard. The servant finally let go of his hanging heart, stopped to adjust his breathing, and was about to go forward to report the situation, but he watched fifth prince Luo Yu jumping into it. After entering the lake, his clothes were all wet, and he made a naive murmur, and kept sweeping his arms. The low-level fish and spirit beasts in the pond were frightened, and they swam to the edge of the pond one after another. Luo Yu still worked hard to stir the water, not feeling discouraged .

"Oh, my dear ancestor, you go ashore quickly, the old servant has something important to report, why are you frolicking in the water, how decent are you! Come on, get Prince Yu out quickly, don't hurt the precious body."

A group of servants ran over one after another, jumped into the pond and escorted Luo Yu ashore, but Luo Yu kept moving, which made the servants very uncomfortable. After Luo Yu landed, they still blocked the way to the pond to prevent Luo Yu from rushing Enter the pond, and then do absurd acts.

"Oh, my ancestors, do you know that you are going to the northern border of the empire, and we have to go with you. There is a world of ice and snow, there is nothing to eat, and the food and clothing are very tight. We have spent the rest of our lives in the northern border, and we have to die there too, what kind of evil is this called..."

The old servant's eyes were dim, his heart had long since lost his mind, and all the years of humiliation had disappeared at this moment. All he could think of was the painful days after going to the northern border. These servants were ordinary people with no cultivation base, and their talents were mediocre. They came to the imperial court to fight for a fortune in order to make a living. They thought that once their tenure came to an end, they would carry their savings home for many years to settle down, and live for dozens of years without worrying about food and clothing. This was their greatest vision day and night.

But now the dream is shattered, there will be no good days to speak of in the future, money and silver are no longer important, how can there be any trade in the ice and snow, and the rest of the life will only be accompanied by ice and snow, and marrying a wife and having children for life is even more idiotic... …

The huge gap made it difficult for the servants to hide their disdain, and they didn't look good towards Luo Yu. The servants were so angry that they completely ignored Luo Yu lying on the hot grass, chattering and complaining, It seems that he is not in the imperial court, but in the market of a small border town in the countryside.

The soul that has been suppressed for a long time has been vented for a moment at this moment. It is difficult for the servants to accept the "gift" of the emperor. It is very difficult for them mortals to go to the north to take care of themselves. Frozen to death on the road before reaching the northern border. This is a road to death and life. These mortals who have no spiritual power will end up being buried with the fifth prince instead of accompanying him.

The emperor's mind is unpredictable. These servants have no choice but to accept their fate silently. When they go out with the army in the future, they will find an opportunity to escape from the area where the army is stationed. See you, it's not too late for the whole family to move out.

A servant was so upset that he vented his anger on the fifth prince, punched and kicked him, but was stopped by other servants, calling him confused, how could he blatantly express his anger, and pulled each other one after another, the scene was very chaotic for a while, and the fifth prince was kicked After a few feet, he rolled into the pond and slapped the water again, startling the fish in the pond and making silly laughter.

"Fish...fish...a lot of fish...a lot of fish...hahahaha..."

A group of servants wanted to make trouble again, but they were stopped by the loyal servants, and they flung their arms away angrily. Gritting their teeth is not enough to describe the mood at that time.

After the resentful servant left, the cowardly servant went into the water and dragged Luo Yu ashore again. The uneasy servant directly picked up Luo Yu and carried him to the mansion. After communicating with the servant girl in the mansion, he took Luo Yu to the side room to take a bath. The weather is hot, but I am also worried that Luo Yu will catch the wind and cold from getting wet. Amidst Luo Yu's intermittent struggling and shouting, he completed the process of bathing, changing clothes, eating, and sleeping peacefully. , leave six people to guard the gate of the mansion, and the rest pack up their clothes and pack their bags, and set off tomorrow to leave Yongyaodu. Maybe they will stay in that snowy and bitterly cold place for the rest of their lives...

Thinking about it, I felt hopeless for the rest of my life. The doorkeeper sighed secretly, worried about his future situation, and was powerless.

In the mansion, Luo Yu was lying peacefully on the bed, the hair on his forehead was still wet, even in the scorching hot weather, he still felt hot and bored even in the evening, but the corners of Luo Yu's mouth raised slightly, as if he had bumped into something great.

"After many years of patience, I can finally escape from the Nine Layers Palace. I am no longer a canary in a cage. My own life should be preserved, but I have to be careful to guard against the First Prince and the Fourth Prince. Hope I die soon..."

"Father is inhumane, plotting to rebel and usurp the country. Such a cruel and merciless person is willing to let me leave the imperial court. There must be some tricks in it. I am afraid that I may die in an accident on the way north..."

"I've been pretending to be crazy for so many years and it's finally come to this day. If you want to truly protect yourself, you can't just rely on insanity to show people. It's better to accidentally fall off a cliff in the ice and snow. Since then, there are no bones left. The military searched for nothing. It is determined that I died by accident. , that is the best result..."

Luo Yu took off the Buddhist beads on his wrist, the light on them was introverted and no longer flowed, Luo Yu's cultivation was gradually revealed, nine spiritual knots appeared on his fingers, six of them were shining, colorful and very beautiful.

"I can finally escape from this cage. Those stupid brothers of mine are still fighting endlessly for the position of crown prince. I didn't even realize that the father is strong and strong. He is in the prime of his life. The concubines in the palace can Being arbitrarily executed by his father, how can he be confident that the prince will not die at his father's whim? The father is a tyrant, and the right way is to escape from the clutches of the devil as soon as possible, and it is not worth dying for power..."

Cold light flashed through the eyes, the sky outside the paper window was dim, the night sky was full of stars, Luo Yu put the Buddha beads back on his wrist, and the spiritual knot also disappeared. Sensing the approach of a powerful spiritual warrior, Luo Yu was quick to wit and directly gave I had a mental disorder, which stirred the sea of ​​mental consciousness and made my mind confused. I lay down on the bed like a fool, with my mouth slightly opened and my tongue sticking out, like an idiot.

A person's figure changed, and he quietly opened the paper window and jumped into the mansion. The original illusory outline gradually appeared. If there were courtiers, he would be able to detect that this person was Wang Chengliang, the servant of the Ministry of War. Restores stature after the concealment effect.

Wang Chengliang walked forward silently, seeing Luo Yu who was drooling from the corner of his mouth, he felt pity, confirmed the current situation of the fifth prince, and used his mental power to probe Luo Yu's spiritual sea of ​​consciousness, confirming that his sea of ​​consciousness was chaotic and shapeless, such a complicated situation Mental power doesn't seem to be pretending at all, it seems that the fifth prince is really a fool.

After confirming again, he searched the mansion. If there was nothing that could attract Wang Chengliang's attention, he sensed the surroundings mentally. After confirming that no one was approaching, he turned out the paper window and left the fifth prince's mansion under the disguise of night. The outer wall of the court is far away, and Hong Fei is dark.
