Too much fruit

Chapter 691 Visit and test

The court meetings of the Great Zhou Dynasty were basically held once every ten days, except for special periods.

Now is a special period. Yin Lusi admits defeat and gives in temporarily. It is a good time to eliminate dissidents. As a powerful minister, how can Jiang Sikong let go of this opportunity. In addition, the eldest princess also wanted to deal with political enemies, so the court meeting became once every two to three days.

It was said to be a court meeting, but it was actually a layoff meeting. Every time I went to lay off one or two people, if I found a thorn in my side, I would take care of one more person and then arrange for my own people to go up.

It seems that he has the style of a villain who brings trouble to the government and the public, but even if he doesn't lay off people like this, those who deserve to be scolded by the enemy will still be scolded. It is better to take advantage of the current situation and suppress the opponent.

This is not the time to talk about grace and humility, but to try your best to consolidate the advantage, suppress the enemy, improve the friends, and make sure not to give the opponent a chance to come back.

For example, this time, Feng Manlou, the deputy seat of Nantiansi and the one who walked through the back door, has to be straightened up. The eldest princess supervises the country, which already has a heavy workload. It coincides with the period after the Taiping Sect was pacified, and it became even more busy. It was no longer possible to serve as the head of Nantian Division at the same time, so a certain son-in-law was promoted.

As a result, Feng Manlou is also going to court this time.

Just looking at his smiling expression, it seems that Jiang is more happy than being the leader of Nantiansi.

As the carriage traveled from Longyuan Lake to the Imperial City, Feng Manlou looked at Jiang Li and smiled all the way. He didn't talk to Jiang Li. He just looked at Jiang Li and smiled, occasionally showing a look of pity, as if he was looking at a person entering hell.

There was no ridicule, but there was ridicule in his eyes and face, and Jiang Li was not given a chance to refute.

If Jiang Li fought back, he would be on target.

As for whether Jiang Li has really become the family's younger brother, does it matter?

Feng Manlou just wanted to find a chance to give Jiang Li some color.

When they arrived at the Imperial City, the two got off the carriage. Feng Manlou smiled and said: "This journey is really fast. It's worth it that I specially asked Momen to customize such a mechanism carriage. My dear brother, let me see what you do next. Time still needs to be kept at Longyuan Lake, but do you still need to take you to court for me?"

"Although my dear brother can run faster than a carriage, you can't really run. It would be detrimental to your dignity, Jiang Sikong."

He spoke earnestly, with a look of pity on his face, as if he was regretting that time passed so quickly.

"There is no need for the prince's consort to care. It will be no problem for me to provide a chariot for my disciple."

Tianxuan's figure suddenly appeared not far away, walking over slowly, and said calmly: "In addition, you need to change into court clothes when going to court. Disciple, although you are the third prince, you must not lose your etiquette."

It was said that Jiang Li had lost his etiquette, but depending on Tianxuan's intention, he was actually accusing Feng Manlou of dragging Jiang Li here without giving him time to change his clothes.

Feng Manlou had to admit that Tianxuan was really good at protecting others.

"Ha, it's my fault, it's my fault," he said haha, "Then I'll leave first. Dear brother, you stay here and listen to your master's words."

After saying that, Feng Manlou winked at Jiang Li and walked away quickly.

Before leaving, he even teased Jiang Li, which was quite cool.

But before he could go far, Tianxuan said: "By the way, this disciple of mine said before that he wanted to visit the eldest princess and the eldest prince-in-law. It would be better to choose a day like today. Let's wait until the court meeting is over. , I took my apprentice to visit the eldest princess and the eldest husband and wife."

Why are you bringing this up again?
Can't the master and the apprentice change their tactics?

If history repeats itself, Feng Manlou becomes stagnant again, but this time, the speaker is Tianxuan.

"We and I will sweep the couch to welcome each other." Feng Manlou gritted his teeth and said again for the sake of dignity.

As for what he was thinking, only he himself knew.

Last time, Jiang Li might have just talked about it, but this time, it was going to be real. Tianxuan really wants to bring her pretty face to visit and stimulate the eldest princess.

"Very good."

Tianxuan nodded slightly and signaled Jiang Li to follow her.

Jiang Sikong naturally couldn't change his clothes in public, even if he could cover himself.

Tianxuan was wearing a solemn yet gorgeous light golden palace skirt today. It had an inviolable sanctity and highlighted her graceful figure. Jiang Li, who was already familiar with her, was following behind and could easily imagine the beauty inside the palace skirt. landscape.

However, Jiang Li is now calm.

They have been fighting fiercely all night. If it turned into time in a dream, it would probably be longer. Jiang Li's body could still fight, but his mind was not able to get angry.

In other words, the sage state.

Although Tianxuan in front kept moving forward without looking back, she was actually observing the rear with her spiritual mind. When she found that Jiang Li was completely untroubled, she smiled slightly in her heart.

'This traitor is good at acting and can endure it. Do you think I don't know your acting skills? '

She knew how obsessed the traitor was with her body, so naturally she wouldn't believe that Jiang Li was really completely untroubled.

This is a show for her.

'I would like to see how long you can keep pretending. '

While being pulled by the void, the master and the disciple walked across the square and came to a nearby palace.

A palace maid had already been waiting in the palace, holding Jiang Li's nine-piece attire in preparation.

Jiang Li didn't see Gongsun Qingyue. She was probably still resting and there was no way she could come.

Of course, it is also possible that Tianxuan did not tell Gongsun Qingyue that he was coming to see Jiang Li.

It was normal for the master and apprentice to play tricks back and forth.

Seeing Jiang Li enter, the maids quickly served Jiang Li and put him into his nine-piece attire, and then slowly left.

"After the court meeting, I will go with my master to test out the woman Feng Manlou and Ji Lingguang."

Tianxuan walked up to Jiang Li and said while adjusting Jiang Li's clothes: "I also want to know how much Ji Lingguang knows about Feng Manlou and the Great Master, so as to find out the Great Master's background. Let’s see what his plan is.”

Nowadays, the relationship between Feng Manlou and the Great Master is almost open. Even if Jiang Li still sticks to his oath, Tianxuan has already guessed Feng Manlou's identity.

As for the purpose of this Dragon King's son-in-law who has been hiding in the royal family, Tianxuan is both afraid and feels compelled to test it. Feng Manlou's identity is almost revealed. On the other hand, it may be that the Great Master's goal is about to be achieved.

It’s time to confirm whether his purpose is beneficial or detrimental to our own side.

"I have always known how strong Ji Lingguang is, but she is not a messy person. Otherwise, no matter how good the relationship is, it would have been worn away long ago."

Tianxuan's eyes were dark and she said with insight: "You said that Ji Lingguang punished Feng Manlou again. It shows that Feng Manlou did something that made her angry. For Ji Lingguang, in addition to being a teacher, he can really make her angry. She actually doesn't have many people and things." Jiang Li: "..."

You still have such a relationship with the eldest princess, no wonder some people say that you two are old enemies.

Jiang Li thought for a while and said: "This is indeed quite necessary, but my good brother is not so easy to reveal his flaws. His Yi Dao attainments are above us and can be said to be the best in the world."

It is precisely because of this that Jiang Li has always tried to trip Feng Manlou up, but it was just a joke at most. When it comes to the really important aspects, he has always been honest and has never been excessive.

For example, secretly exposing Feng Manlou's identity.

If he really touches Feng Manlou's sensitive area, he will definitely feel something.

"It's hard to distract him."

Tianxuan, however, was confident and prepared. She spread her right hand and a scroll appeared in her palm. It was the household registration of Da Zhou.

"Even if we are at the level of you and me, it is difficult to be distracted when calculating the key existence. Let Feng Manlou help and calculate Kaiyang, and you can teach him to be distracted. The location of Kaiyang is related to Tianjun, Ji Lingguang will also agree and let him help."

Once it comes to Kaiyang, Tianjun may be alerted, and then he will confront Tianjun through the air.

In this case, even the Great Master has no time to be distracted.

Moreover, even if Feng Manlou's temptation is not discovered, it is still possible to find Elder Kaiyang through his help, and even catch Tianjun's tail. Whether it succeeds or fails, it is not a loss.

"I understand." Jiang Li slowly exhaled and said.

Next, it’s time to have a friendly relationship with Fengmanlou... no, it’s to compete with the great master.

······
······
Half an hour later, Ziwei Palace.

"The eldest princess has issued an edict: Feng Manlou is appointed as the head of the Nantian Division. He will be responsible for investigating the powerful sects inside and outside the Divine Capital, ensuring the security of the Divine Capital, taking charge of the affairs of the sect, and hunting down the remnants of the Taiping Sect."

The great eunuch on the side of the dragon chair conveyed the order of the eldest princess of the country with great energy, and all the officials below shouted in unison: "Your Highness is wise."

As for Feng Manlou's promotion, those who don't know his identity are not qualified enough to object.

Knowing that he was from the Feng clan, they were intimidated by the power of the eldest princess and Jiang Li and did not dare to object.

As for the deepest level, those who already know the close relationship between Feng Manlou and the Great Master have the qualifications and ability to object. For example, Taishi Ling Xiao Zhi, the third-rank Taixue Jijiu standing behind him, cannot object.

If we really provoke a troublemaker like the Great Master, no one may end up well by then, so we might as well just sit back and watch.

As a result, the first son-in-law of Dazhou...at least the current first son-in-law, took the position of head of Nantiansi.

After the disbandment of the dynasty, the eldest prince-in-law became the most handsome son after Jiang Li, and the eldest princess's group immediately moved towards him.

Although Jiang Sikong and the eldest princess are allies now, Jiang Sikong is too powerful and might have to confront each other in the future. It is better to side with the eldest consort without worrying about siding with the wrong person.

However, Feng Manlou did not give them this opportunity. After the dynasty ended, he stayed in the palace with Jiang Li and went to the side hall with the eldest princess. He took the VIP passage and was not on the same path as the officials who were walking through the gate.

The two of them followed the eldest princess out of the Ziwei Palace from the rear. A chariot had been prepared outside to take the three of them to the direction of Nanli Palace.

The imperial city was actually divided into two levels. The emperor and his harem were inside the palace city, while outside the palace city were the residences of the rest of the royal family. For example, the eldest princess's Nanli Palace, and the prince's East Palace.

The East Palace was built more than two hundred years ago for Ji Jiji, the only undisputed prince in the eight hundred years of the Zhou Dynasty.

Except for Ji Jiji, the rest of the princes were appointed when the emperor was dying or simply after his death. They succeeded to the throne not long after they were appointed, and there was no need for the Eastern Palace.

The chariot traveled for about half an hour and arrived at the Nanli Palace. The palace gates were opened one after another, from the outside to the inside, one after another. There were four levels, and the straight line distance was several miles away.

As the eldest sister of the emperor, the eldest princess is also a fourth-grade powerful person. Her status and treatment are actually among the best, and she is probably lower than the queen in the harem.

The three of them got off the chariot together, walked through the two main gates, passed through the nine-winding corridor, and came to a garden. Tianxuan was already sitting in the pavilion next to the rockery in the garden.

An exquisite palace maid was making tea. When the heat was up, she poured the tea into a teapot smoothly and then exited the pavilion in small steps. Tianxuan said slowly and calmly: "Here? Just in time, the tea is ready."

Seeing her look like she was the master made the eldest princess's eyes twitch slightly.

"You don't need to say more, I am the master."

The eldest princess replied firmly, and she and Feng Manlou sat down opposite Tianxuan, while Jiang Li sat next to Tianxuan.

The two pairs of people sit very close to each other, showing their close relationship.

"Two things."

Tianxuan took off her veil, rolled up her sleeves with one hand, and picked up the teapot to make tea with the other hand. She said slowly: "First, I want to thank you and your wife. I thanked Ling Guang before, but I haven't thanked the eldest consort yet. I I am not a person who can do something but cannot say anything. I am very grateful to you for facilitating the marriage between me and Jiang Li, so I would like to thank you both with tea instead of wine. "

After the words fell, Feng Manlou looked at the eldest princess quietly.

As far as he knew, when he and the eldest princess got married, Tianxuan really laughed at the eldest princess, saying that she was an old cow eating young grass, which made the eldest princess angry.

You can't say whether you can do it or not, that's what I'm talking about.

Now Tianxuan also eats tender grass, and unlike the eldest princess, Jiang Li's grass is really tender. However, Tianxuan didn't hide it at all and said it so grandly.

How could the eldest princess accept the gratitude?

And is this really a thank you, rather than a face-to-face mockery?

Feng Manlou wouldn't believe it if there was no personal grudges involved.

Although the result was good, the eldest princess's original intention was to make Tianxuan a joke.

As if aware of Feng Manlou's observation, the eldest princess glanced at Feng Manlou expressionlessly, which made him secretly say something bad. Then, the eldest princess said coldly: "If you are here to seek bad luck, I am happy to accompany you."

"This won't work. You can't defeat me."

Tianxuan put down the tea cup and provoked the eldest princess's anger in a matter-of-fact tone. Before she was about to get angry, she changed the topic and said: "Second, it is to figure out where my Dinghu sect Kaiyang Wuqu is now. ”

Tianxuan took out a volume of book and glanced at the two people opposite, "This matter concerns Tianjun, so I want your family to help me."
