After all the sacrifices have been made to speed pass, who is still practicing hard skills?

Beijing.

Royal Garden.

Three figures sat opposite each other. One of them was wearing a dragon robe and looked very majestic. He was none other than Princess Wenhao of Emperor Yuankang. The other two wore different official robes, but no matter who they were, they were all ministers of the court at the level of dukes.

As for their identities, there was no surprise. They were none other than Grand Master Wen and Marshal Xue who had hurried over from Tianyuan.

Two days had passed since Jiang Che caused a big disturbance in the capital. Amid the fury of the imperial court, Master Wen and others also realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately came to the capital alone.

Only one general was left, still dispatching the Tianyuan troops.

And with the speed of a Martial Saint, crossing several states is naturally a piece of cake.

Originally, Ji Wenhao was planning to make a big announcement to the world and hold a grand ceremony for Master Wen to enter the city, but after informing Master Wen, he was rejected.

He no longer had the face to publicize the crisis faced by the imperial court.

Finally, Ji Wenhao agreed to this.

After all, he was in a really bad mood. Jiang Che's actions in the capital had brought shame to the imperial court, and as the news of the battle in the capital spread more and more widely.

Some public opinions have also begun to change.

Those officials from aristocratic families no longer openly insulted Jiang Che and called him a traitor. They were so bold and daring that they just said a few words in a harmless manner. As the emperor, Ji Wenhao certainly knew what this meant.

When the Ji family's Taizu conquered several countries in succession, the same thing happened to the officials in the original capital.

I have already vaguely begun to think about changing my allegiance.

After all, even if Jiang Che became the emperor, he would still need someone to serve as an official to suppress the rebellion in the four provinces. As long as they did not offend too much, most founding emperors would not care too much.

But if you keep scolding people, then it will obviously become a typical example.

Ji Wenhao was extremely angry about this.

The Great Zhou has not yet perished!

These officials and noble families had already had their minds split. If they had waited until Jiang Che's army reached Zhongzhou, wouldn't they have been eager to welcome the king's army? But those officials and court officials didn't say anything openly.

He couldn't even find an excuse to exterminate the clan.

"Jiang Che's misfortune is caused by me. If I had come a few days earlier, this disaster would never have happened." Upon hearing this, Grand Master Wen sighed and felt somewhat complicated.

Although he was not a founding hero, he had seen the Ji family's ancestor. It can be said that Wen Tianzhong had personally experienced the more than 600 years of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

He experienced twelve emperors and witnessed the rise and fall of the world.

As a result, by this generation, the dynasty was in danger of collapse.

If he had not refused the emperor's summons and had arrived in the capital earlier, the dragon vein would definitely not have been lost. Wen Tianzhong felt a little guilty about this.

However, he had not expected at that time that Jiang Che had developed to this extent.

After all, Tianyuan and Central Plains are separated by hundreds of thousands of miles of sea, and all kinds of news are somewhat delayed. He only knew that Jiang Che had raised the flag of rebellion and was very powerful, but he did not expect that Jiang Che was so bold as to dare to go deep into the capital to cause chaos.

If he had known this earlier, he would not have worried about it so much.

After all, compared to Ji Chengdao's promise, the court's favor to him was obviously greater.

"This is my fault, it has nothing to do with the Grand Master."

Ji Chengdao waved his hands and took all the blame on himself.

According to his personality, if it were someone else, he would have pushed the blame onto someone else long ago, but the problem was that the person in front of him was not suitable. Wen Tianzhong was the Grand Tutor of the current dynasty, a high-ranking official in the court who was on par with the God of Backer.

He is also a top-notch human immortal.

At the same time, it is also his great reliance today.

He is not even busy trying to win over the other party, so how could he possibly distance himself from the other party?

Now he has not yet become a saint, and the imperial court has suffered this disaster, and has lost all its dignity and is in danger of overthrow. The only thing he can do is to win over these powerful people as much as possible.

Otherwise, if they were to rebel again, the Great Zhou would really have no chance.

After all, the dragon vein has been taken away and the country's fortune cannot be derived. Even if he becomes a saint in the future, he will not be able to act recklessly, and his confidence is no longer as strong as before.

"When will Your Majesty take action?"

Master Wen did not continue to argue about who was at fault.

It is of no use to the current situation. All he can do is to suppress the rebellion, regain the dragon vein, and completely put an end to the current chaos.

In this way, we can live up to the trust of the previous emperors.

"Grand Master, please wait a few more hours. I have already invited the Sumeru Bodhisattva from Buddhism. Since Jiang Che wants to use the Gala Bodhisattva to exchange for the innate fire energy, it is naturally impossible for the Grand Master to do it alone.

The two human immortals joined forces to completely wipe out the Yuezhou rebellion."

Ji Wenhao said in a deep voice.

But in fact, he felt that it would be difficult to suppress Jiang Che with just Master Wen. After all, Jiang Che's ability to escape was so extraordinary that even the Emperor's Sword could not do anything about it.

It is very difficult for a human immortal to take action.

“I understand, but I still want to advise Your Majesty. When King Kaoshan was in power, Buddhism was suppressed. It is obvious that the Great Leiyin Temple is not as simple as it seems.

Your Majesty, you may use it, but you must also be cautious and vigilant. "

Master Wen admonished with a serious look.

As the Grand Tutor of the current dynasty and an old minister entrusted by previous emperors, he did not want Buddhism to be the only religion in the court, as this would be a suppression of imperial power. Balancing the various Taoist traditions is what an emperor should do.

"I understand, but the current situation does not allow me to do that." How could he not know the worries of Master Wen? Even though he had a good impression of Buddhism, he was still a little defensive.

However, he now has little power to rely on and can no longer act as recklessly as he used to.

"Your Majesty just said that Jiang Che attempted to exchange for the innate Li Fire Qi?" Master Wen pondered over what he had just said, and had a bad feeling. His innate Geng Gold Qi had already been handed over to Jiang Che by Zhang San of Tianjian Mountain.

If the innate fire energy also fell into Jiang Che's hands, wouldn't it mean that most of the innate five elements energy has been gathered?
Jiang Che is already so difficult to deal with now. Once he enters the realm of Manifestation, I’m afraid even he won’t be able to do anything to him.

"This boy is so bold and presumptuous that he took advantage of my unpreparedness to forcibly suppress Bodhisattva Gala." Ji Wenhao's eyes were a little cold. Whenever he mentioned Jiang Che, his emotions would change uncontrollably.

I wish I could eat its flesh and sleep on its skin.

“Is the innate thick earth energy still in the imperial court’s treasury? If this boy gathers all the innate five elements of energy, once he enters the realm of manifestation, his strength will surely surge.”

Master Wen asked quickly.

The reason why he was so generous in giving the innate Gengjin energy to Jiang Che was not only because he wanted to resolve their past grudges, but also because he believed that it was impossible for Jiang Che to gather all the innate five elements.

After all, several of these innate energies have disappeared from the world, and the imperial court has fought alone in the battle against the innate thick soil. With Jiang Che's ability, it is definitely impossible for him to obtain them.

Seeing this, Ji Wenhao cast his gaze towards Xue Pingzu who was standing aside:
"General Xue asked for the innate energy before, and I have ordered someone to give it to him."

"Oh?" Wen Tianzhong was stunned for a moment, then turned his gaze to Xue Pingzu beside him and asked:
"The innate thick earth energy is in your hands?"

Hearing the two of them suddenly talking about him, Xue Pingzu subconsciously frowned for a moment, then nodded seriously:
"I have accumulated knowledge for hundreds of years and have already shown signs of a breakthrough, so I asked Your Majesty for the innate thick earth energy. Now, this thing has been refined by Xue in the East China Sea."

Xue Pingzu seemed calm at the moment, but he was actually very panicked.

Because when he arrived in the East China Sea, he had already learned the truth.

Empress Xue Bai'er was deeply involved with Jiang Che. Now, she had already handed over the innate thick earth energy to him. When Xue Pingzu first learned about this, he knew that he was doomed. As the empress, colluding with foreign officials was a capital crime punishable by extermination of the clan.

At that time, he was furious and scolded Xue Bai'er severely, but things had come to this point and he couldn't expose it. He could only swallow this loss in silence and even help Jiang Che cover it up.

The feeling in my heart is only understood by me at that moment.

After all, he was the one who was most determined to help the court. As a result, there was no problem with other people, but he was the first to collude with the rebels. Once the news was leaked.

The Xue family will be exterminated.

"Why didn't you tell me before in Tianyuan? I can also give you my innate Gengjin Qi." If an outsider wanted to exchange for the innate Gengjin Qi, Wen Tianzhong would naturally not allow it.

But if it was Xue Pingzu, it would be different.

After all, the other party is an old minister guarding Tianyuan, and his loyalty is beyond doubt. If he can step into the realm of Xiansheng, the strength of Tianyuan City will also usher in a huge leap.

"Thank you for your concern, Grand Master. However, my breakthrough is different. I don't need to gather all the five elements of innate energy. I only need to find one or two of them."

Xue Pingzu continued.

But in my heart I prayed that this topic would pass quickly.

"That's good."

Master Wen nodded slightly.

Although some other thoughts flashed through his mind just now, they disappeared without a trace immediately afterwards. After all, the Xue family was a royal family, and Xue Bai'er was the current queen.

It can be said that the Xue family and the Ji family are bound together and there is no possibility of betrayal.

"Since Marshal Xue is about to break through, let's forget about going to Yuezhou this time. I plan to hand over all the imperial guards in the capital, as well as the troops transferred from Tianyuan in the future, to Marshal Xue.

At that time, Marshal Xue, Grand Master Wen, and Marshal Chen, who has not yet arrived, will divide their troops into three groups and sweep across the states in the Central Plains."

Ji Wenhao also had immense trust in Xue Pingzu, even no less than in Wen Tianzhong. After all, the Xue family was his in-laws, and Master Wen had previously refused his call to arms.

This matter has always been a thorn in his heart.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will do my best."

Xue Pingzu clasped his fists and bowed, but he felt very complicated.

Ji Wenhao nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Master Wen and said:

"Master, I have something else to remind you."

"Your Majesty speaks frankly."

“I’m afraid that Xuantian Wuji Palace has already sided with Jiang Che. The Supreme Elder Feng Wuji will also stand on Jiang Che’s side. That’s why I want to ask the human immortal from the Wushen Temple to take action.

Completely destroy Jiang Che."

Ji Wenhao said in a deep voice.

From Yao Yue’s previous remarks, it is not difficult to infer that Xuantian Wuji Palace has already placed its bet on Jiang Che, and he must be prepared to respond.

Master Wen of "Xuantian Wuji Palace" frowned and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Jiang Che has become a big shot. Even the leaders of the Taoist sects have begun to bet on him. How similar is it to the rise of the Great Zhou Dynasty?
It was just that he found it hard to accept the idea of ​​joining forces with a foreign race:
"What is your majesty going to do to impress the Witch God Temple?"

"Yuezhou, I would rather cede Yuezhou to the Witch God Temple than let that traitor Jiang Che occupy it." Ji Wenhao said while gritting his teeth. It was obvious that his hatred for Jiang Che had reached a certain level.

Master Wen's expression changed slightly, and he said sternly:
"Your Majesty is really confused. Yuezhou is the land of our Central Plains. The court finally conquered the ancient Yue Kingdom. How can we give away our ancestral land to foreign races? I will never allow such a thing to happen."

"Grand Master."

Ji Wenhao frowned.

"There is no room for negotiation on this matter. I, an old minister, will never allow my Central Plains to be ceded to foreign races. Your Majesty, you'd better give up this idea as soon as possible." Master Wen did not say any harsher words.

But his tone was unusually firm.

Ji Wenhao's expression immediately turned somewhat ugly.

"What exactly happened? What happened between you and Jiang Che?"

In the prince's mansion, Xue Pingzu saw the emperor and Master Wen arguing, so he immediately stood up and left. The first thing he did after leaving was to find Xue Bai'er to inquire about the truth.

Even though the other party is the queen, she is still a member of their Xue family. As the ancestor, he does not have to obey the queen in everything.

What happened today made him break out in a cold sweat.

He won't give up until he gets an accurate answer.

"Reporting to the ancestor, I, I am already Jiang Che's person." Xue Bai'er sighed lightly and explained the matter directly. After all, this kind of thing is difficult to explain clearly.

Xue Pingzu wouldn't believe it either, so it would be better to just get straight to the point.

"You...you are so confused!"

Xue Pingzu's face changed drastically.

Even though he had already had this suspicion before, when Xue Bai'er said it herself, he still couldn't accept it for a while.

The queen is having an affair?

The thief was the mortal enemy of the imperial court.

Are you really not afraid that all nine members of the Xue family will die?
If Xue Bai'e was not the queen, he would have wanted to slap her to death.

"Forgive me, ancestor."

"Do you know the seriousness of this matter? This is forcing the Xue family into a dead end." Xue Pingzu's face turned pale.

"Since I have done it, I have no regrets. Jiang Che is the one I love. As for Ji Wenhao, he is not worthy. If the ancestor is furious, just hand me over to Ji Wenhao."

Xue Bai'er had a determined look on her face, as if she was ready to die.

Xue Pingzu stared at Xue Baiyi intently, and was silent for a long time before he sighed:
"What a sin."

Xue Baiyi opened her eyes and saw that the ancestor really reacted as Jiang Che said. She immediately gave him an advice:

"Grandfather, the imperial court is at the end of its rope and is on the verge of collapse. The Xue family is too deeply involved and will be retaliated against in the future. It is better to take this opportunity to find a new owner. Although I cannot be Jiang Che's principal wife in the future.

But there is still a place for concubines, and once Jiang Che succeeds in seizing the throne and establishes a country and becomes emperor, the Xue family will still be foreign relatives and will not be implicated. "

Listening to Xue Bai'er's sophistry, Xue Pingzu didn't know what to say for a moment.

She even suspected what kind of magic potion Jiang Che had given Xue Bai'er. Instead of being the queen, she was competing for the position of concubine. This was simply putting the cart before the horse and was stupid!
But it is just as Xue Bai'er said.

At this point, Xue Bai'er had already given the innate thick earth energy to Jiang Che, and he also concealed it in front of Ji Wenhao. In fact, he had already betrayed the court.

No matter how much loyalty you say, it is useless.

"I hope you won't regret your choice today in the future."

Xue Pingzu was silent for a long time, then stood up and walked out of the lobby, leaving behind these words.

Xue Baiyi stood still, her eyes firm:
"Since I have done it, I will never regret it!"
