That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 137 Seeing the Governor's Centennial Longevity

The capital of the gods, where the Central Plains Dark Guard Mansion is located.

The main hall of the Anwei Mansion in the Central Plains is modeled after the Baihu Hall in the imperial capital. There is a bronze tiger seat on the top, a huge ferocious tiger head is carved on the wall behind it, and there are two rows of seats below. Besides, there are no other redundant decorations, and the overall atmosphere is solemn and solemn.

It was almost dusk, all the high-ranking officials of the Central Plains Dark Guard Mansion and all its capitals gathered here. The lights were dim and the figures were faint, but no one dared to sit down. They all stood with their hands down, lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes.

Sitting on the top tiger seat is an old man, and it is precisely because of this old man that the dark guards who are full of wolves and tigers are silent and become docile house cats.

The old man is not strictly a member of the dark guard, but to the dark guard, his power is even greater than that of the palm print governor Duanmu Ruisheng.

Just because the old man has the post of admiral of the Dark Guard Mansion, he is the governor who has made countless dark guards turn pale when they hear about it.

The old man put down the dossier with wet ink in his hand, and said calmly: "A single Tang Shengyue can save people from under the eyes of the dark guards all over the city, and you will lose the face of the dark guards."

The old man spoke softly and slowly, and there was no hint of sullenness in his tone, but the guards all over the hall felt chills down their backs, and Yang Shihe, who was the first to bear the brunt, had cold sweat oozing from his forehead.

Yang Shi He said cautiously: "It's because the subordinates didn't think carefully and failed to set up the sun-shooting ballista in advance. Please punish the supervisor."

The old man said plainly: "Punishment is certain, this is the rule, as for how to punish, that is the matter of Nanzhen Fusi, and I don't need to point fingers."

Yang Shihe hurriedly respected him, he couldn't see the slightest bit of neither humbleness nor arrogance when he was in the county prince's mansion.

The old man lowered his head and fiddled with his white fingers, curled them up like a flower, and said softly: "Your Majesty sent this old man to the south of the Yangtze River. On the way, he suddenly noticed something different here in the capital of God, so he changed his way and came to the capital of God. It's still a step too late, since it's too late, the old man has nothing to do but let nature take its course."

Yang Shihe raised his head and asked cautiously, "What does the Governor mean?"

It's no wonder that the majestic governor of the Dark Guard Mansion in the Central Plains is so humble, how many people are not afraid of this inner minister who holds great power in the court?

What's more, this inner minister is still a close minister of the emperor, and the holy family is very grand. Not only is he the admiral of the secret guard, but he was also given a black python robe that only the prince of the Xiao family can wear. Its weight is not inferior to that of the chief assistant Wei Jin, governor of Yuhe.

The old man is Zhang Baisui, who is ranked fourth on the list of secrets, with the word Changsheng and alias Mr. Pingan. Lan Yu, the number one expert in the imperial court, is also known as the two pillars of the imperial court. Some people even think that if the two join forces, even the master teacher will be helpless.

Originally, according to His Majesty's idea, if Gongsun Zhongmou can also submit to the court, then the three giant feet that reach the sky will support the big tripod of the court together. At that time, whether the imperial court advances or retreats, fights or caresses, it will all be of one mind and run smoothly.That's why he asked Xiao Mahe to connect with him and test whether Gongsun Zhongmou had this intention.

In fact, Gongsun Zhongmou has already been tempted by the sincerity of Emperor Xiao. After all, the Gongsun family was destroyed by King Wei Xiaojin, and it is well known that Emperor Xiao and King Wei are at odds. There is a common enemy, Daomen, and there is no reason to refuse due to emotion and reason.

It's a pity that Qiu Ye, the head teacher of the Taoist sect, also saw this point, and went down the mountain to enter the game himself, and eliminated Gongsun Zhongmou on Biyou Island, making Emperor Xiao's plan come to naught.

Zhang Baisui said softly: "Now standing in this room are the pillars of our Dark Guard Mansion, so I'll just say something straight. Lu Pu, an old man with half of his body buried in the loess, what kind of trouble can he cause? If it is lost, it will be lost, and it will not affect the overall situation. The so-called remnants of the previous dynasty are even more out of the question. At the beginning, Zheng Dichan was located in the late emperor. The world can see it, and it cannot be faked. Moreover, in these years, the late emperor and the current majesty have treated the former royal family a little bit less. ?The biological mother of King Wei is Princess Zheng, and the wife of Emperor Zheng Xian is my Princess Daqi. Outsiders of the law."

The entire main hall of the Dark Guard Mansion was completely silent.

Zhang Baisui got up from his seat, stood on the steps and looked at the high-ranking secret guards standing respectfully below, his voice became softer and softer, "People outside the square, the Daoist sect is the one who disregards the king's law the most, between our imperial court and the Daoist sect, There are many neutral people who waver from side to side. These people originally had their hearts towards the imperial court. Gongsun Zhongmou was the most important, but after Gongsun Zhongmou died, the rest of the people were all scared. Our main goal at the moment is to win people's hearts, for a Lu Pu It's not worth pushing Tang Shengyue to Taoism."

Master Yang hesitated again and again, but couldn't help but said: "Master, the White Lotus Sect was a rebel appointed by the Queen Mother back then."

Zhang Baisui glanced at him lightly, and with just one glance, Master Yang was struck by lightning. When Master Yang lowered his head pale, he said slowly: "The so-called way of a saint changes with the times. The same is true of the government. When the world was first established, the remnants of the White Lotus Sect were still plotting against the law, so they were designated as traitors by the Queen Mother, but now the White Lotus Sect is quite different. Those stubborn remnants have all died. The sect leader Tang Shengyue was conferred by the late emperor himself, so how could he be against it?"

Why doesn't Master Yang dare to say anything more.

Zhang Baisui wrapped his hands in his big sleeves, walked down the steps, and then walked out of the hall, "Take care of the Du family's affairs, and don't leave any tails behind, or else there will be raging discussions, and I won't be able to protect you. At that time, we will have to throw out a few scapegoats to calm things down. As for Lu Pu and Tang Shengyue, I will deal with it myself."

Including Yang Shihe, all the hidden guards in the hall knelt down on one knee and said respectfully, "Send it to the governor."

Zhang Baisui left the Dark Guard Mansion, his figure flew into the sky, and disappeared in the dark night in a blink of an eye.

The Xiaoyao Dixian can soar above the nine heavens, especially when it reaches the realm above the sixteenth floor, and is known as traveling in the sea and in the evening.Zhang Baisui flew in the air, shuttling between the clouds and mists, and not long after, he had already left Yuzhou and entered the border of Qizhou.

In Langya County of Qizhou, in addition to the King’s Mansion of Qi, there is also Laoshan Mountain overseas. The Taiqing Palace above Laoshan Mountain is where the Daomen of Qizhou is located.Zhang Baisui landed on the top of Laoshan, the main peak of Laoshan Mountain. At this time, the top of the mountain was still white and snowy, and it was connected with the surrounding sea of ​​clouds. Although it was under the darkness of night, it also had a unique scenery, rolling like waves and surging like tides. It's breathtaking.

The old man looked at the Taiqing Palace in the distance, which was still brightly lit in the night, and murmured: "When Laoding changed, Qingchen led the crowd to raid the Taiqing Palace, trying to put the late emperor who stayed here to death. Years old was at the side of the late emperor. At that time, I had no strength to restrain a chicken, so I was unlucky. Fortunately, at the last moment, Daoist Tianchen made a move, and I was lucky to save my life. Before leaving, Master Tianchen taught me the Taoist orthodox magic method of dragon and tiger alchemy, allowing me to step into the realm of the earth fairy with a crippled body. All of it is worthless."

Zhang Baisui slowly closed his eyes, and laughed at himself: "But since ancient times, there has been a dilemma between loyalty and filial piety. If it weren't for the first emperor, I would have died in an unknown place. How could I have all kinds of opportunities in the future? If it wasn't for the first emperor's care, I would have won the dragon. Hu Dan said, how can I have the achievement of being an Earth Immortal in the future? Before the Empress Dowager died, she entrusted the present master to my hands, and her deep affection is still in front of her eyes. Half doubts, how can I repay the trust of two generations? The only thing I can do is to do my best and die."

The No. 1 official in the world knelt down with his robe lifted, and kowtowed three times.

"At present, the imperial courts and Taoists look at each other and hate each other. I am in it, like entering a fire, and I am in a dilemma. After thinking about it again and again, kindness can only be judged in terms of time and length. Disciple Zhang Baisui disregards kindness, does not think about the kindness of saving lives and teaching arts back then, because the world is changing and he cannot help himself."
