Eunuch Emperor Wu, sweeping the floor in the cold palace for 100 years

Chapter 24 The young man grows up at the beginning of the year

Golden Palace.

Another grand court meeting is underway.

At this moment, the Daqi court is like the sun setting on the west mountain, above the court, the faction is more and more serious.

There may be an external force behind every minister of civil and military affairs.

Maybe there are loyal ministers who are loyal to Daqi, the royal family, and the Qihuang, but in the past few years, these people have become disheartened.

Qi Huang sat on the throne, watching all this with cold eyes.

Compared with three years ago, Qi Huang looked much older.

There is no longer the high spirits of a few years ago.

Three years ago, Zhenbei Hou's old illness relapsed and died. However, his eldest son Ling Shuang took over the title of Zhenbei Marquis, but failed the emperor's favor and ignored Qi Huang's will many times, which greatly damaged Qi Huang's authority.

"Your Majesty, preparations have been made for the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven in three days' time. According to etiquette, within these three days, all members of the royal family, court officials, and servants of the common people in the capital must bathe and eat fast to show their reverence for God."

Xu Wenyu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, walked out from the group of officials and said respectfully.

"Well, according to my decree, from today until the end of the ceremony, the fasting law will be implemented in the entire capital. Anyone who violates the fasting law will be dealt with according to the law."

Qi Huang made a decree with a blank face.

"The minister leads the order."

Xu Wenyu immediately said respectfully.

Next, the court affairs that needed to be discussed were dealt with according to the procedures.

After retiring from the court, Emperor Qi returned to Qianyuan Palace.

At this time, a handsome young man came out to welcome him. Although there was still a trace of childishness, he could already feel the young man's heroic appearance.

"My son has seen his father."

The boy is very polite and polite.

"Jing'er, judging by the aura on your body, it seems that you have made a breakthrough in your cultivation?"

Qi Huang looked at the young man, his originally stern face showed a rare softness.

This boy is naturally the letter king Li Jing.

Only nearly four years have passed, from that ignorant six-year-old boy to a handsome young man.

Although he has just turned ten years old, but with a slender height of 1.7 meters, he looks like a teenager.

Coupled with his strong martial arts cultivation base, no one dared to treat him as a brat.

In the past three years, Li Jing has grown a lot, whether it is martial arts or temperament, EQ and wisdom.

However, he still takes the little eunuch Ding Yuan to the Leng Palace every once in a while.

Although he couldn't see his husband, he persevered.

He believed that one day, her husband would go out to see him.

"Father, my son has indeed made a breakthrough."

Li Jing said respectfully.

His current cultivation seems to have stepped into the peak of innate cultivation.

It is only a matter of time before breaking through to the Flying Grandmaster.

Such an age, such a cultivation base, if word spread, the entire Daqi world would be in an uproar.

However, Emperor Qi protected Li Jing very well.

Warn him not to show off his martial arts in front of outsiders.

And Li Jing is no longer that unrestrained little guy, his mind is much calmer, he knows what to say and what not to say.

"it is good."

Qi Huang had a satisfied look on his face.

Perhaps Da Qi cannot prosper in his own hands, but he still has an excellent successor.

With the talent and cultivation progress shown by Li Jing, there is still great hope to break through to the level of astronomical masters in the future.

Because the younger you are, the less difficult it is to break through.

As for himself... he has completely given up hope.

Because his martial arts realm is not only stagnant, but even regressed.

This is because the cumbersome government affairs and various problems emerged one after another, which dragged him down too much time and energy, and exhausted him physically and mentally.

In this case, let alone improving one's cultivation, it is very difficult to stabilize one's current cultivation.

"Father, the subject is going to the Leng Palace first."

Li Jing said.

"Well, let's go."

Qi Huang nodded.

Although there was no news from the Lenggong, and the old man seemed to have disappeared, he still let Li Jing continue to go to the Lenggong.

Therefore, Li Jing took the young eunuch Ding Yuan and left Qianyuan Palace, preparing to go to Leng Palace.

Ding Yuan's cultivation has also improved very quickly, not inferior to Li Jing's at all.

After all, his martial arts talent is higher than that of Li Jing, and as a eunuch, he is more suitable for practicing the martial arts of the evil sword.

In addition, Qi Huang provided him with sufficient training resources.

When the two walked out of Qianyuan Palace, several figures came over.

The leader was a man wearing a golden crown and a face like a jade crown. He was tall and imposing, and he looked like a dragon walking like a tiger.

Moreover, it is very similar to Qi Huang in appearance.

It's just that the eyes are dark and the lips are thin, giving people a kind of mean and ungrateful cruelty.

After Li Jing saw this man, he quickly stepped aside with Ding Yuan, bowed slightly, cupped his hands in salute and said, "I've seen Brother Huang."

This man is Li Heng, the present Prince of Daqi.

Born to a queen.

It is said that this prince is very similar to Qi Huang, but because of the empress's relationship, he is not liked by Qi Huang, and has thought about abolishing Li many times.

"Xiao Ba, where are you going?"

Prince Li Heng glanced at Li Jing and said calmly.

Three years ago, Li Jing had been living in Qianyuan Palace and was well protected by Emperor Qi. Naturally, the Empress was very upset.

And often brainwashed by the queen, the prince Li Heng also dislikes this younger brother very much.

"Brother Huang, little brother is going to Tianshu Palace to read."

Li Jing said respectfully.

"then you go."

Li Heng nodded, then turned around and entered Qianyuan Palace.

After Li Heng brought people in, Li Jing took Ding Yuan and headed towards Tianshu Palace.

Every time he and Ding Yuan went to Lenggong, they would go to Tianshu Palace first, and then take a shortcut to Lenggong through the back door of Tianshu Palace, so as to avoid many eyeliners in the palace.

Of course, this was also secretly arranged by Emperor Qi.

After the two arrived at the cold palace, they picked up the broom and swept up the fallen leaves on the ground.

Since I haven't been here for a long time, there are all kinds of fallen leaves on the ground.

Every time Li Jing and Ding Yuan came, they would clean up the area around where the old man lived.

Moreover, sweeping the floor is also practicing swordsmanship.

The two will also compete with each other in swordsmanship while sweeping the floor.

Since they are practicing the same martial arts and swordsmanship, mutual verification can better improve swordsmanship.

After sweeping the floor, the two were also tired from practicing.

Just sit on the ground.

"Xiao Yuanzi, what do you think is the old man doing now? I haven't seen my old man for almost four years."

Li Jing looked at the location of the cave on the ground that didn't seem to exist, and his eyes were a little absent-minded.

He really misses her husband.

"Your Highness, sooner or later we will be able to see the old man. What we need to do now is to practice hard. Otherwise, we will be so weak when we see the old man. The old man will definitely be very disappointed."

Ding Yuan said.

Why didn't he want to see his husband again.

The degree of worry in his heart is no less than that of His Royal Highness Xinwang.

After all, my father-in-law had been practicing in seclusion for so long after giving him the empowerment.

"Ah."

Li Jing suddenly regained his motivation, "Xiao Yuanzi, let's compete to see who can break through to the Flying Grandmaster first."

"Your Highness, good."

Ding Yuan nodded.

In fact, he has shown signs of breakthrough.

It's just that the reason why he didn't make a breakthrough, and suppressed not to improve, was just waiting for Li Jing to break through.

The two stayed for a while, then got up and prepared to leave the cold palace.

Suddenly, the ground of the Lenggong trembled slightly, and the void in the area in front of the ground cave seemed to be distorted, rippling with textures visible to the naked eye.

"This is?"

Seeing this scene, Li Jing and Ding Yuan were both surprised.

This kind of movement must have been caused by the old man in the cave on the ground.

"Old man."

"Old man."

Both of them shouted in excitement.

The movement only lasted for a moment, and then calm was restored.

The cold palace was very quiet.

Only the shouts of the two were transmitted, but the old man did not respond.

However, the two were still very happy.

Although I didn't see the old man, but that movement, maybe the old man was responding to them.

"Xiao Yuanzi, the old man should be leaving the customs soon, we might be able to see him next time we come."

Li Jing became a little excited.

Ding Yuan also nodded with anticipation.

Then, the two reluctantly left the cold palace.
