Start practicing from marrying a disfigured princess

Chapter 104 The broken knife has a spirit, named Minghong

Father wants to summon Ren Pingsheng?

Liu Yunmeng turned to look at Ren Pingsheng, asking for his opinion.

Ren Pingsheng thought for a while, and said slowly: "I obey the order."

After speaking, he raised his arms and wanted to get up.

Liu Yunmeng rushed forward to help.

After a stick of incense.

The two came to a tent.

It was only after entering the camp that I realized that there were already six people standing inside.

The two princes stood in front.

Four scarlet-robed civil servants stood behind.

One has a crane printed on his chest, ranking first rank.

The three have golden pheasants printed on their chests, ranking second rank.

After Ren Pingsheng and Liu Yunmeng entered the camp.

The six people looked at each other with slightly surprised expressions, but soon returned to normal, with gentle smiles on their faces, and bowed their hands: "I have seen His Highness Yunhe."

Then he nodded slightly at Ren Pingsheng.

Ren Pingsheng nodded in return and stood aside.

Liu Yunmeng looked at the four civil servants, recalling their identities.

There are four people in total, three of them are cabinet scholars, and the remaining one is the minister of the Ministry of War.

Undoubtedly, when the emperor summoned them, there must be important matters to discuss.

"Is it because of the accident at Wusheng Mountain?"

Liu Yunmeng thought so in her heart, turned to look at Ren Pingsheng, wanted to say something, saw his expression calm, and fell silent again.

After a while.

The eunuch's shrill voice sounded outside the tent.

"The Holy One is here!"

Followed by.

Emperor Zhaowu walked into the camp with dragon and tiger steps.

"See Your Majesty!"

The crowd saluted.

Ren Pingsheng was no exception.

After the ceremony, he raised his eyes and saw that Emperor Zhaowu was wearing a spotless dragon robe, with a dignified appearance and an imposing manner, as if he had just experienced an accident.

"It looks like my father-in-law should be fine."

Ren Pingsheng thought so in his heart.

The rest of the people also breathed a sigh of relief.

The sage is well, even if something happens to the sage Wu, the court will not be in chaos in a short time.

After all, it is a blessing in misfortune.

"Yunhe, you go back first."

Emperor Zhaowu looked around, seeing that all the people summoned had arrived, looked at Liu Yunmeng, and said calmly.

Liu Yun dreamed that his father was well, his heart fell to the ground, his face was filled with joy, and he saluted and said: "Your servant obeys the order."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Ren Pingsheng, thinking about whether his father should give him a seat, struggled for a few seconds, but still didn't speak, turned and left.

after she left.

Emperor Zhaowu looked at Ren Pingsheng and said indifferently: "Give me a seat."

The voice fell.

Immediately, an eunuch moved a chair and placed it behind Ren Pingsheng.

Ren Pingsheng was injured, and he was not hypocritical, he bowed his hands and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After speaking, he sat down.

Emperor Zhaowu withdrew his gaze and said slowly: "The Martial Sage is still here."

With just four words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Even the chief minister of the cabinet, who has always been moody and angry, showed joy in his eyes.

At this time, Emperor Zhaowu said again: "But I don't know when it will fall into sleep."

As we all know, only when the superpower is severely injured physically will he heal the injury by dormancy.

"Wu Sheng was seriously injured?"

Realizing this, everyone's expressions changed, and their thoughts flooded.

Wu Sheng is the strongest in the world, who can seriously injure Wu Sheng?

anyway.

I don't know how injured Wu Sheng is?

How long does it take to resume from hibernation?

It would be fine if it was only for a year or so, even if Yaoman started a war, it would be nothing more than delaying time.

But if it has been dormant for more than ten years, or even decades, and there is no Martial Saint in charge, how can the imperial court resist the army of monsters and barbarians after the alliance?

Thinking of this, everyone's faces became serious.

Emperor Zhaowu looked around for a week, and said, "Yaoman has already known about this matter, and he will definitely cause chaos in the future. Please tell me how to deal with it."

The voice fell.

The crowd fell silent.

Emperor Zhaowu fixed his eyes on Chu Chao'an, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and said indifferently: "What do you think, Mr. Chu Ge?"

Chu Chaoan turned to face him, bowed, and said seriously: "I think that the current situation is not yet clear, and the court should play it by ear.

But before that, the imperial court should also prepare in advance, one is to prepare food and salaries, the other is to recruit new soldiers, and the third is to make Zhenbei King, Jingnan King and the guards stand ready to fight at any time. "

Speaking of this, he paused and continued: "In addition, the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple and Jinyiwei must not slack off, and must find out the movements and true intentions of the monster and barbarian clans. Only in this way can the court formulate a plan as soon as possible. The countermeasure is war or peace, and the Holy Majesty can make a decision."

These words are quite satisfactory, specious.

The main war faction and the main peace faction are not disgusted when they hear it, and they can be called textbook-style harmony.

Of course, in the current situation, it is unrealistic to expect him to come up with some targeted measures, not to mention that everyone still has no idea of ​​His Majesty's intentions.

Emperor Zhaowu was silent for a few seconds, looked at the Minister of War, and asked, "She Qing, what do you think?"

She Huaying, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, replied: "I think that with the current strength of our Great Zhou, to fight against the two clans at the same time, I am afraid that we have more energy than strength."

Emperor Zhaowu looked at Duke Ding and Duke An, and asked, "What do you two think?"

Ding Guogong looked like he was old and strong, and he said in a confident voice: "If there is a war, the old minister is willing to be the vanguard!"

An Guogong also said: "I would like to take the lead and charge forward!"

Hearing this, Emperor Zhaowu knew in his heart that nothing could be asked from their mouths.

After a few seconds of silence, he looked at Chu Chaoan, the chief assistant of the cabinet: "Mr. Chu Ge, just as you said just now, the cabinet will draw up regulations, recruit new soldiers, and raise food and salaries."

"The minister obeys the order!"

Chu Chaoan saluted respectfully.

Emperor Zhaowu nodded slightly, looked at Ding Guogong, and asked, "After the investigation of Xia Miao's accident, do you have any clues?"

Ding Guogong stood up and said solemnly: "Return to the Holy Lord, the old minister has learned from the Yaozu that the mastermind behind this matter is the Tushan clan of the Yaozu."

As soon as this word comes out.

There was a lot of discussion.

"Tu Shan's physical body has been destroyed for many years. He has no physical body but only the primordial spirit. How could there be such a big commotion?"

"The supervisor is sitting on the star observation platform. He must have noticed that the extraordinary monk entered our Dazhou territory. In that case, why didn't he report it?"

The sound is getting noisier.

Emperor Zhaowu frowned slightly and waved his hand.

The great eunuch Wang Zheng behind him immediately said: "Be quiet!"

moment.

The crowd quieted down.

Emperor Zhaowu looked around and said, "Xia Miao's accident is a foregone conclusion, and it won't be too late to discuss it later.

Your family is busy with affairs, and you have to rush back to the capital, so I won't leave you here. "

The voice fell.

Everyone immediately understood and saluted one after another: "The minister will leave."

"Is that the end?"

Ren Pingsheng was in a trance for a moment, and also stood up, wanting to salute, before he heard Emperor Zhaowu say: "The two princes and Ren Pingsheng stay here."

"."

Ren Pingsheng was silent for a moment, and sat back again.

After a while.

There were only five people left in the camp.

Emperor Zhaowu, Great Eunuch Wang Zheng, Duke Ding, Duke An, and Ren Pingsheng.

"Besides that the mastermind behind the scenes is Tu Shan, is there anything else?"

Emperor Zhaowu looked at Duke Ding and asked.

Dingguo said: "Return to the Holy Lord, the surviving monsters are just small fish and shrimps. They know very little about the Tu Shan family. I have tried every means to get out one piece of information."

"tell me the story."

"Yes."

Duke Dingguo responded, looked at the extremely weak Ren Pingsheng who was sitting on the chair, and said sternly: "Those monster clans said that after the Tu Shan family entered the Demon Locking Tower, in addition to teaching them the skills, they also handed over They have one mission - to kill Ren Pingsheng, the son of Zhenbei Prince."

Why are you still involved with me?

Ren Pingsheng was slightly taken aback, complaining in his heart.

"I have no grievances or enmities with the Yaozu. The Yaozu are full and full, and they made such a big noise just to kill me?"

Dingguo Gongdao: "Besides, after discussing with Mr. An, I believe that the Tu Shan family may indeed have entered the Demon Locking Tower. As for the prisoner sitting in the star observation tower, why didn't he notice it? The ministers thought it might be Tu Shan. After his body was destroyed, he practiced some kind of kung fu, which can block the monitoring of the observatory."

Emperor Zhaowu was not surprised by what he said. After thinking for a few seconds, he nodded slightly: "I see."

After finishing speaking, issue an order to evict guests.

"During the two days when I'm not here, I have to work with the two dukes of the state. It's over. Go back and have a good rest."

"My minister retire."

Duke Ding and Duke An saluted and turned to leave.

a time.

Apart from the emperor and eunuchs, only Ren Pingsheng was left in the camp.

"Why did you leave me alone? Could it be that I was too eye-catching before and was feared by the emperor?"

Ren Pingsheng was thinking wildly, and then he heard Emperor Zhaowu suddenly ask: "Do you know why the Yaozu wanted to kill you?"

"I thought it was to sow discord."

Ren Pingsheng did not shy away from it, and confided his inner thoughts: "I am the only child of the Zhenbei Palace. If I die in the capital, there will be a gap between the Zhenbei Palace and the court. When the time comes, there will be a war between the monsters and barbarians. Lots of resistance."

What you say is what you think, and the main thing is sincerity.

Emperor Zhaowu stared at Ren Pingsheng sharply, and said word by word: "You mean, if you are dead, King Zhenbei dares to rebel?"

Ren Pingsheng looked up at Emperor Zhaowu without the slightest fear: "I never said that."

"Isn't that the intention that the Zhenbei Palace must have a gap with the court!"

Emperor Zhaowu raised his voice and asked sharply.

Ren Pingsheng said: "The king's father dare not rebel, and he can't rebel. If his son dies, he will only wash his face with tears. When the barbarians invade, I'm afraid it will be the same."

Speaking of this, he paused, and continued: "People's hearts are made of flesh, Your Majesty married the princess to the minister, and rewarded the minister with magic tools and elixir, and the minister will keep it in mind.

In addition to being in awe of His Majesty, I also have my son-in-law's respect and sincerity towards Mount Tai. That's why I confessed all my thoughts. If Your Majesty feels that I and my father are plotting against each other because of this, I can't argue with it. "

"You are more courageous than I thought."

Emperor Zhaowu snorted coldly: "No wonder he dared to attack Yun He after being Chang An's son-in-law."

I don't, I'm not, don't talk nonsense.

Ren Pingsheng denied Sanlian in his heart, but he didn't say anything, acquiescing to Emperor Zhaowu's statement.

Emperor Zhaowu saw that he didn't deny it, and looked calm, so he couldn't help but look at him more.

After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly changed the subject: "Where is the broken knife that I gave you?"

"Is this... acquiescing to my son's footsteps on the two princesses?"

Ren Pingsheng didn't expect the old man to be so open-minded, it took him a while to realize, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly replied: "It's in the carriage, I'll go get it right away."

"You stay here."

Emperor Zhaowu looked at Wang Zheng and ordered, "Go get it."

"The slaves obey the order."

Wang Zheng responded and walked away.

This time.

Only Ren Pingsheng and the emperor were left in the tent.

A pair of sons-in-law, one sitting and one standing, made the atmosphere even more embarrassing.

this moment.

Ren Pingsheng suddenly understood why so many son-in-laws in the previous life did not want to go to their natal family... no topic, it was too embarrassing.

"Does my father-in-law have hemorrhoids? What are you doing standing up if you don't have a chair?"

Ren Pingsheng cursed, supported the chair with his hands, gritted his teeth, and planned to stand up.

"When did I let you stand? Sit."

Emperor Zhaowu squinted at him and said coldly.

"The minister obeys the order."

Ren Pingsheng replied and sat back.

Emperor Zhaowu squinted at him, and said neither coldly nor indifferently: "Do you know the origin of the knife I gave you?"

Isn't it just a broken knife, what's the origin?
Ren Pingsheng slandered, and the picture of himself raising the knife and falling, and raising the knife suddenly appeared in his mind.

Cutting down seventh-rank monsters is like chopping melons and vegetables.

Even after chopping for an hour or two, there was no gap in the blade or deformation of the blade.

Looks like this, is it really a good knife?

Realizing this, Ren Pingsheng suddenly became interested in the origin of the saber, cupped his hands and said, "I don't know."

Emperor Zhaowu said indifferently: "This sword is named Minghong, and it is a relic left over from the ancient times. It cannot be controlled by those who are not compatible with it."

Minghong sounded familiar.

Ren Pingsheng hesitated for a while, and said: "The prince told the minister at that time that this knife has no name."

"Because he doesn't know the origin of this knife."

Emperor Zhaowu said: "You should know that my Great Zhou was inherited from the Great Zhou Kingdom in ancient times. According to ancient books, the ancestor of the Great Zhou Kingdom was named Huangdi, and Minghong Dao was made by him."

"?" Ren Pingsheng looked blank.

Isn't the Great Zhou dynasty established by Emperor Taizu in troubled times? Where did the inheritance come from?
and.

The ancestor was called the emperor.

It always feels a little weird.

Emperor Zhaowu saw his blank face and was a little surprised: "Your father never told you about this?"

"Your Majesty is stupid, please clarify, what are these?"

"."

Emperor Zhaowu fell into silence, and after a while he said: "After you return to Beijing, go to the Buddhist scriptures Pavilion every three days to read "Records of the Emperor Taizu."

"Records of Emperor Taizu, is it about how the Great Zhou was established?"

It was the first time Ren Pingsheng heard about this book, his eyes showed curiosity, and he cupped his hands and said, "I obey the order."

The voice fell.

Footsteps were heard outside the tent.

Not for a while.

Wang Zheng walked in with the broken knife, holding the handle of the knife tightly with both hands, and the blade swung from side to side, as if he was about to cut someone.

Seeing this scene, Ren Pingsheng silently moved his chair back to keep a distance from him.

"My lord, this sword has a spirit, and it is extremely repulsive to slaves!"

Wang Zheng gripped the handle of the knife and gritted his teeth.

A broken knife has a soul?

It's been so long, how come I don't know?
Ren Pingsheng looked at Wang Zheng, and found that the broken knife was indeed alive, and kept shaking the blade, as if trying to break free from Wang Zheng's grasp.

For some reason, at this moment, looking at Broken Knife, he suddenly had a feeling that his little lady fell into the hands of others, resisting death and defending her innocence.

"Wang Gonggong, can you give me the knife?" Ren Pingsheng asked.

Wang Zheng looked at Emperor Zhaowu, saw him nodding, and squeezed out a smile: "Naturally."

As he spoke, he grabbed the handle of the knife and walked towards Ren Pingsheng.

Zheng!
The broken knife screamed, and the blade shook violently, leaning towards Ren Pingsheng's position, like a little lady eager to return to her husband's side.

Perhaps such a metaphor is not appropriate, but Ren Pingsheng does have this feeling.

After a few breaths.

Ren Pingsheng took the broken knife from Wang Zheng's hand.

moment.

Broken Knife quieted down, stopped shaking, and returned to its original normal appearance.

Ren Pingsheng stretched out his hand to caress the blade, with a strange expression on his face.

"It doesn't seem to be any different from the original one. Wang Zheng isn't playing tricks on me, is he?"

aside.

When Emperor Zhaowu saw this scene, his eyes were heavy, but his face was expressionless, and he said lightly: "There is no need to doubt, this knife does have a spirit, but it was in a dormant state before."

"Then why are you awake now?" Ren Pingsheng asked curiously.

"Perhaps it was awakened by the battle last night." Emperor Zhaowu replied.

Broken Knife turned out to be a weapon for awakening aura.

Ren Pingsheng caressed the blade lightly, a trance appeared in his eyes, and he felt a little unbelievable.

When I was eight or nine years old.

He had heard his father mention this weapon.

Awakening the aura means having self-awareness, being able to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and exercise oneself. Even if the material of the weapon itself is ordinary, it is very likely to become a peerless magic weapon in the future!
This kind of weapon is rare in the world, and only my father has one in the whole northern border. It can be said to be a priceless treasure.

Unexpectedly, I got one easily.

anyway.

Just now Emperor Zhaowu said that a broken knife has a spirit, and those who are not compatible with it cannot control it.

From the looks of it now, I should be regarded as a suitable person for breaking the knife, but I don't know why it is me.

Thinking of this, Ren Pingsheng looked at Emperor Zhaowu and asked his doubts.

Emperor Zhaowu's answer was simple: "I don't know either."

Ok.

You can use it.

It doesn't make sense to know.

Ren Pingsheng thought so, fondling the broken knife fondly.

the other side.

Emperor Zhaowu looked at the broken knife that seemed to be enjoying Ren Pingsheng's touch, and he got the answer he wanted in his heart, and waved his hand: "Since this knife is destined for you, I will leave it with you for now."

"?"

What is this called.

Wasn't it given to me before?

Ren Pingsheng looked at Emperor Zhaowu, opened his mouth, and wanted to argue.

Emperor Zhaowu didn't give him a chance to speak at all: "I'm tired, I'll tell you the specific origin of this knife after you read the memoir of Emperor Taizu."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand: "Go down."

"It really belongs to Pixiu, and you can get back what you give away."

Ren Pingsheng knew that entanglement was meaningless, he complained a few words in his heart, stood up, saluted and said: "I will leave."

aside.

Wang Zheng stepped forward to help: "Your maidservant will send the son back."

The voice fell.

Emperor Zhaowu seemed to think of something, and looked at Ren Pingsheng: "On the way back to Beijing, without my permission, you are not allowed to see Yunhe."

"Your Majesty, that's not what you said before."

"What did I say?"

It seems that he didn't say anything.

Ren Pingsheng was speechless for a while.

Emperor Zhaowu glanced at him, and said coldly: "I will not pursue what you did to Yunhe before, and if you do it again in the future, I will never forgive you lightly."

It was you who asked me to enter the palace to coax my sister-in-law.

After finally coaxing me well, I kicked Lao Tzu with one kick!

This is so unreasonable to kill a donkey!

Ren Pingsheng couldn't help but swear in his heart, but there was no expression on his face, he cupped his hands: "I obey the order."

As I said this, what I thought in my heart was:

Don't blame me for being unrighteous.

Old Bidden.

Waiting to hold grandchildren.
