The counterattack of the villains

Although Zhu Youjian has not yet ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he seems to have begun to work as an emperor.

Fu Tianqiu was promoted to the University of Wenyuan Pavilion, and was also the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. He was added to the crown prince and Taibao, and served as the chief assistant of the cabinet. In addition to assisting the emperor in governing, he was in charge of the appointment and promotion of officials.

Liu Shouming, the commander of the capital of Nanzhili, replaced him as Minister of the Ministry of War, and added Prince Shaobao, who is also a bachelor of Wuyingdian, as a member of the cabinet.

His subordinates commanded Tongzhi, who replaced him as the commander of the capital, and was in charge of military affairs in the capital of Nanzhili.

In addition, Zeng Ying, the prefect of Changzhou, was promoted to be the Secretary of the Household Department, and also a bachelor of Dongge University. He joined the cabinet to participate in maintenance.

Officials such as ministers and ministers of other ministries were all appointed from officials at all levels in Nandu, and the vacant official positions were promoted from local officials in various prefectures and counties in Nanzhili.

Fu Tianchou knew the officials in Nanzhili very well. With him personally controlling them, he could basically put the right people in the right position, and there would be no situation where morals were not matched or talents were wasted.

The officials in Nandu were not incompetent, so they failed to become Beijing officials. Most of them were not bad in ability, but they were squeezed out of the power center because of the dispute between the party and the party.

From another point of view, most of the officials who were pushed out of the power center were upright and unwilling to join forces with the eunuchs, so they could not gain a firm foothold in the capital.

Three days later, the formation of the new imperial court was completed. At the first official court meeting, Zhu Youjian personally appointed Li Mu as the Imperial Master of the Ming Dynasty, and Chu Xuan as the Young Master, serving as Li Mu's deputy.

Li Mu took advantage of the opportunity to propose the establishment of the Demon Slaying Division, recruit righteous monks from all over the world, clean up the world's demons, and suppress the luck of the Ming Dynasty.

This proposal did not receive any resistance, and it was passed unanimously almost the moment he proposed it.

After all, the demon slayer does not participate in political affairs, but only slays demons and demons for the country, to ensure the country's smooth weather, and to gather the country's luck, which naturally won the support of all officials.

So at Li Mu's suggestion, Zhu Youjian appointed Yan Chixia as the commander of the Demon Slaying Division. He was also the chief arrester of the Six Gates who had hundreds of people under him back then, so it's not a big problem to take charge of a division.

Zheng Zha was given the title of Commander of the Demon Slaying Division, equivalent to Yan Chixia's adjutant or assistant, and Zhang Jie and Xia Hou will be in command of both.

The four of them are the top leadership team of the Monster Slayer Division, and are under the direct jurisdiction of the National Teacher's Office.

And Li Mu is directly responsible to the emperor, and no one has the right to mobilize or interfere. He belongs to the emperor's direct department and has a very high status.

The other vacant positions were not appointed from among the Emei disciples, but reserved for members who joined the Demon Slayer and made contributions in the future.

There should have been two commanders, and there should have been four commanders. This is the reason why only half of them were sealed.

Only by leaving room for improvement can others have goals and be full of energy, otherwise they will lie flat and rot, and no matter how hard they work, they will not be promoted anyway, so why bother?
The national teacher is the teacher of the emperor, since he has become a national teacher, he must do what the national teacher should do.

After Li Mu was free from Zhu Youjian, he began to teach him and the princess to practice.

In order to let them feel the effect of practice as soon as possible and trust themselves more, Li Mu personally took action to help them quickly grasp the state of meditation.

Then, they took out two hundred-year-old vermilion fruits from the treasures of heaven and earth blackmailed by Zheng Zha in Pudu Cihang, so that they could quickly develop their first spiritual power and enter the early stage of Qi training.

Just consuming two Vermilion Fruits has little impact on this batch of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and it is still enough to cultivate two Golden Core cultivators.

Naturally, he would not use these treasures of heaven and earth on the aborigines at will, wouldn't it be nice for him to save and train two strong reincarnations?
With the first wave of spiritual power, Zhu Youjian and the princess can start dual cultivation, and there is no need for Li Mu to teach them at any time in the future, they only need to accumulate spiritual power step by step.

The pleasure of double cultivation is many times stronger than simple pleasure. After experiencing the feeling of double cultivation, Zhu Youjian is no longer interested in other ordinary women.

In this way, the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty who only married one wife will be freshly released.

……

When the new imperial court was running at high speed and was fully preparing to raise troops, rumors about the thousand-year-old centipede's intention to devour the fate of the Ming Dynasty and dominate the world began to spread like the wind.

At the same time, His Royal Highness Xin Wang established a demon-killing department in Yingtianfu, recruiting strange people from all over the world to join them, and worked together to wipe out the demons, and the news of a bright future in the world also spread outwards at the same time.

Purdue Cihang, who received this news, naturally would not sit idly by.

The imperial court of the capital was also operating at a high speed, and all the capitals except Nanzhili received imperial orders one after another, ordering them to fight against rebellion.

At the same time, an edict was issued to announce to the world that Zhu Youjian, the king of faith, and Fu Tianchou, the Minister of the Ministry of War, had colluded with demons and monsters in an attempt to rebel.

As soon as this edict came out, the world was in an uproar, but the commanders and envoys of all the capitals and divisions were one head and two big.

Both sides say that the other is a monster, they don't know who to believe, and they don't know whether to raise troops.

Relatively speaking, the news from Nanzhili is more specific and detailed, with nose and eyes.

However, the news from the capital is just an edict without any explanation.

However, the imperial court of the Beijing Normal University also occupies the status of righteousness. If they do not refrain from fighting, they will be disrespectful, which puts them in a dilemma.

Both Chu Xuan and Xiao Honglu had analyzed the situation in advance, so they made a suggestion to let Li Mu take Fu Tianchou to run around each department, and interview the officials of each department by dreaming.

Fu Tianchou saw that the officials of the various capitals were in a dilemma, so he made it clear that they don't need to ask them to help each other, as long as the two don't help each other and just wait and see what happens.

They can send spies, or even go out on their own, to watch from the sidelines when the Emei disciples are fighting the demons.

It was easier for the officials of the capital divisions to accept this proposal, and it was finally agreed that they should raise troops according to the order first, but they should not rush to attack South Zhili, and they could delay time on the road.

Even after arriving at the southern Zhili border, it was mainly delayed until the battle between Zheng and Demon came to an end.

In this way, they did not resist the order, and they could avoid rashly going to war with Nanzhili and killing good people by mistake.

Just when Li Mu and Fu Tianchou took care of the capitals, the biggest turning point for Nanzhili appeared.

The turning point is that the orthodox monks from all walks of life in the world, who heard the rumors, gathered in the south of Zhili.

Although there are fewer and fewer real practitioners nowadays, there are still practitioners in some sects with a long history.

And some sects that had been wiped out hundreds of years ago in the Great War between Righteousness and Demons also had some remnants of inheritance obtained by others, creating reincarnated disciples one by one.

These orthodox monks were all attracted by the word "Emei Sect".

Those who believed in them came to join the Demon Slayer, and those who questioned them wanted to meet the so-called Shushan Sword Immortal in person.

……

When the righteous monks gathered in Nanzhili, all the monsters from all over the world also gathered in the capital to seek refuge in Pudu Cihang.

It was only after the general situation had come true that Pudu Cihang realized how similar this situation was to the great battle between good and evil hundreds of years ago?
Originally, he planned to quietly and quietly devour Daming's luck, transform into a real dragon, achieve the Mahayana stage, and dominate the world from then on.

But he never dreamed that now it would develop into a situation where the two ways of good and evil converge separately, and it seems to be a situation of great battle.

And the main opponent of the Devil's Dao is precisely the Shushan Emei faction, and it is they who have single-handedly pushed the situation to this point.

More than 400 years ago, it was the devil's way that took the lead, but now it is the righteous way's turn to take the initiative to set off a war between righteousness and demons, which shows that they must have great confidence.

This made Pudu Cihang a little uneasy for a while, he was afraid that he would follow in the footsteps of the demon ancestors and fall in the battle between righteousness and demons.

But in the end, ambition defeated reason after all, and he was only one step away from devouring the fate of the Ming Dynasty and turning into a real dragon.

If you give up now, wait for Zhengdao to wipe out all the little demons who have turned into civil and military officials in the court hall, and restore the court gang.

Then he spent decades, and the luck that had been swallowed up by a little bit would collapse and return to Daming.

At that time, the politics of the Ming Dynasty will be clear, the luck will be concentrated, and the righteous way will flourish. Not to mention that he will never have this opportunity again, he may have to face the pursuit of the righteous way at any time.

Can't give up, absolutely can't give up, anyway, in this battle between good and evil, it's not his family facing the right way.

He also has the army of the underworld of the old demon of Montenegro, the ghosts of the yin and yang realm of the king of yin and yang, and the army of the aquatic tribe of Mr. Hai to help him.

Coupled with the defection of the world's monsters, this time the magic way has a great chance of winning, and he may not fall.

There are not many remnants of Shushan, and it is estimated that there are not many top powerhouses.

Otherwise, why would they make such a big fuss and gather the power of righteousness in the world?Wouldn't it be enough to go directly to the capital to kill yourself?

Thinking of this, Pudu Cihang made up his mind. On the one hand, he contacted the old demon of Heishan and the king of Yin and Yang, and asked them to lead troops to the capital to help in the battle.

On the one hand, he sent his disciples to receive the demons who came to seek refuge from all over the place, and arranged them outside the capital city, in Yanshan Mountain, sixty miles to the southwest.

For a moment, the demonic aura on Yanshan Mountain was soaring to the sky, almost covering the sky, making it impossible to see the sun for dozens of miles around.

……

In Yingtianfu, the southern capital, the former site of the Gongweisi Yamen established by the Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty when he was in power, was assigned by Zhu Youjian to Yan Chixia as the temporary residence of the Demon Slayer.

Wait until you return to Shuntian Mansion in the capital in the future, and then re-arrange the official residence.

The demon slaying school grounds were already full of people. Although no one was making any noise, it was still full of people's voices.

Among the people gathered here are monks and Taoists, old and young, men and women.

They are in groups of three or five, and they gather together in groups to talk and talk.

Generally speaking, the Taoist monks who come here are mainly represented by Longhushan Tianshi Sect, Gezao Mountain Lingbao Sect, Maoshan Shangqing Sect, Shenxiao Sect, Qingwei Sect and other sects.

Buddhism is mainly represented by Xiantong Temple in Mount Wutai, Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang, Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou, Baima Temple in Luoyang, Hanshan Temple in Gusu, Daxiangguo Temple in Kaifeng, and Shaolin Temple in Songshan.

Although these sects all participated in the great battle between righteousness and demons, leading to the decline of the masters in the sect, and the loss of many magical powers, but the inheritance has not been completely cut off.

It's just that the days are basically waning now, and even the heads of various factions, the abbots and abbots, the highest cultivation level is no more than the Yuanying stage, and there is not a single ghost.

This is also the most obvious situation in this era where Dao eliminates demons. There are many demons in the demonic realm nowadays.

Relying on the lingering shadow of their ancestors, each faction has exhausted all their strength to defend their sects from being wiped out by the demonic way, so how can they still have the strength to slay demons and demons.

As for other casual cultivators, although they have no sects, they also have their own inheritance.

At this time, the major sects of high-level cultivators gathered together, and some casual cultivators stepped forward one after another, making friends with each other.

Just like one of the very active young men with a long sword on his back and a Zhajia, he has a sense of presence everywhere.

"After the Kunlun School, the scholar knew Qiu Yiye and met Zhang Tianshi."

Zhang Guoxiang, the acting celestial master of Longhu Mountain who was inquiring about Master Taiyi's news with the current head of the Shenxiao Sect of the Maoshan sect, looked at the young man in front of him with a bit of surprise on his face.

"Are you a Kunlun disciple?"

Zhiqiu Yiye quickly said: "Exactly."

Zhang Guoxiang wondered: "I've heard that the Kunlun School has always been taught in a single line, paying attention to one yin and one yang. There are usually one man and one woman in the sect, one master and one student. Where's your master?"

Zhiqiu Yiye was stunned when he heard the words, scratched his head and said, "Is there another theory?"

I added another sentence secretly in my heart: "No wonder the incense will be cut off, it's strange to keep playing like this."

Zhang Guoxiang was even more puzzled, and asked: "As a Kunlun disciple, you don't know about this? Then you should know about the Sun Moon Golden Wheel, the treasure of the Kunlun Town School, right?"

Zhiqiu Yiye sneered and said: "To be honest, I just got a piece of incomplete Kunlun school inheritance by chance, and since then I have regarded myself as a Kunlun disciple, and I don't know what the celestial master said."

"Hehehe..."

Hearing his words, several senior Taoists who talked with Zhang Guoxiang laughed out loud.

Zhang Guoxiang also said dumbfoundingly: "So that's how it is. The young man is lucky. In this battle between righteousness and evil, the young man needs to contribute a lot to revive the prestige of the Kunlun faction."

He said this purely out of self-cultivation, if someone else of the younger generation would be too lazy to ignore him.

In the war between good and evil, Kunlun Mountain, Huashan Mountain, Emei Mountain, Wutai Mountain, Qingcheng Mountain and many other fairy mountains were destroyed.

What I'm talking about here is the kind of floating fairy mountain above the clouds, not the Fanshan mountain with the same name on the earth.

Most of the inheritances of various sects are buried deep underground, and some are scattered all over the world.

There are many people with extraordinary luck, who obtained these inheritances by chance, and then developed many small sects and casual cultivators.

Among them, Yan Chixia is the most famous representative. Although the inheritance he obtained is incomplete, it is relatively complete, including cultivation skills, sword formulas, spells and other aspects.

Although he lacks core skills and cannot improve his realm, but because of his extraordinary aptitude and the degree of unlocking the gene lock is high enough, he has also achieved impressive achievements.

But people like Yan Chixia are rare in the world.

Most of them are the kind of casual cultivators who only get a little superficial, that is, the so-called one method in the Tao, and one skill in the method.

Therefore, people from the big sects don't take these people too seriously.

In fact, the inheritance that Zhiqiu Yiye got was not bad, but he also didn't get the core things.

However, at a young age, he has already cultivated to the level of Jindan late stage, only a little weaker than the heads and teachers of various factions, and he can be regarded as a talent of the sky.

Seemingly seeing that Zhang Guoxiang and the others didn't take him seriously, Zhiqiu Yiye bowed respectfully, and walked away on his own.

Then he came to a group of men and women dressed in white and carrying long swords.

Knowing that the older generation looked down on him, he tried to deal with young people.

"A post-knowledge scholar of the Kunlun School knows Qiu Yiye. I have met fellow Taoists. I don't know where you are from and what school you are from?"

Zhan Lan, Li Xiaoyi, Ling Dian, Zhao Yingkong, Ze Lan and others all turned their heads and looked at Zhiqiu Yiye with strange expressions.
