Martial arts immortality, I will eventually be invincible

Chen Guanlou was upset and chatted with Zhao Mingqiao.

Within a few months, Zhao Mingqiao had adapted to life in Tianlao and seemed very free and easy. His eyes were still bright, and his faith in his heart had never wavered in the slightest.

As long as they don't talk about his teacher or values, the two of them can still get along like friends. It's just that one is inside the cell door and the other is outside the cell door.

"The master has been locked up, and that's what happened today." Chen Guanlou said bluntly.

Zhao Mingqiao visibly froze. After a moment, his eyes moved and he came back to his senses, "Is it true that His Majesty cannot tolerate His Royal Highness?"

"In the past few years, the old emperor has been sparing no effort to suppress His Highness the Crown Prince, and he is still worried. This shows that the Prince's party is too powerful. It is no exaggeration to say that more than half of the civil and military officials in the dynasty support His Highness the Crown Prince. The old emperor is troubled. An can also understand." Chen Guanlou said something fair.

If the prince's party was only three to five points weaker, the old emperor would not be so afraid. He would be afraid that he would suddenly wake up one morning and the emperor would become the prince.

"They are father and son!" Zhao Mingqiao roared, feeling helpless that he could not change everything. "The prince is born after the Yuan Dynasty, and his status is orthodox. No one can surpass him. To suppress the prince is to shake the foundation of the country."

"This has become a cliché." Chen Guanlou revealed the truth unceremoniously, "The old emperor's ears are ringing with calluses. Why don't you officials understand that in the old emperor's mind, imperial power is the most important thing? . Even his own son cannot snatch the imperial power from his hands, even if he reveals his thoughts in this regard. "

"What robbery? It's inheritance." Zhao Mingqiao was furious and incompetent, pacing around the cell anxiously. He suddenly rushed to the cell door and asked, "Is Master okay?"

"Don't worry, everyone in Tianlao will take good care of Taifu."

"Can you let me see the Taifu?" Zhao Mingqiao suddenly made an unreasonable request.

Chen Guanlou frowned, "Does he know you?"

Zhao Mingqiao shook his head awkwardly.

"What can you say when you see the prince? Don't cause trouble for yourself." Chen Guanlou persuaded, "I heard that your teacher has some criticisms of the prince."

"Teacher just hates that iron cannot be made into steel. When it comes to supporting the crown prince's orthodox status, the teacher has no shirking duty and has never hesitated." Zhao Mingqiao spoke up to save the teacher's reputation.

He was in a depressed mood.

"You're right. What can I say if I go to see the Tutor? I think too highly of myself, but I forget that I am just a newcomer to the officialdom and have not made any achievements so far."

Chen Guanlou comforted him: "Sit in jail well and let your teacher find some connections, or wait until the master defeats the two rebels, King Daming and Guo Dachun, and then he can work hard to help you get out of prison as soon as possible."

"Didn't you say that the imperial court has not yet decided to let Marquis Pingjiang lead the army? Why are you so sure that Marquis Pingjiang will succeed?"

Chen Guanlou chuckled, "Besides the eldest master, who else can fight and subdue those rebellious border troops? Those border generals, one person represents a mountain.

Without extremely high prestige and qualifications, it is simply a dream to get them to obey orders. Even the eldest master, when he defeated the Ming Dynasty King the year before last, suffered the loss of the soldiers who did not obey orders and let the Ming Dynasty King go. If it had been anyone else, this battle would have been impossible to fight. "

Zhao Mingqiao nodded secretly, "But His Majesty refuses to let go, and the people at the northwest border will suffer again."

Chen Guanlou muttered in a low voice, "The old emperor just received too few beatings."

"What did you say?"

"I said that I don't understand what happens in the court, and I can't understand the drama of fighting. But I will infer the result based on the purpose. The purpose of the court is to defeat the thieves and completely wipe out the Ming Dynasty King and Guo Dachun. Except for the eldest master, he has this At this time, the court cannot find another person. The eldest master is a cripple and he is not a threat to the imperial power. "

"You..." Zhao Mingqiao originally wanted to say something, but he was too brave. How could he insinuate and curse others? The old emperor was still the one he cursed. But then I thought about it, there was nothing the old emperor had done over the years that was not worth scolding. He wanted to scold him severely. Especially when he learned that the Taifu had been sent to the prison, he was so angry that his blood surged.

He sighed and said, "Tianlao also has the advantages of Tianlao. At least I don't have so many scruples about what I say. Thank you for informing me of the news about Taifu. Alas..."

He was very disappointed! He was extremely disappointed with the court and the old emperor. For the first time, his faith wavered.

Chen Guanlou saw that he was not in a good mood, "Don't think too much. Things will turn around sooner or later."

Zhao Mingqiao smiled bitterly, "You mean Pingjianghou Pingthief?"

Chen Guanlou nodded.

Zhao Mingqiao shook his head, a little frustrated, "I hope so." He was not so optimistic.

…

Sun Daoning worked very efficiently. On the third day, the East Palace sent a team of guards to Tianlao, working in three shifts to protect the Taifu's safety.

Niu Yucheng breathed a long sigh of relief, thanking God and the gods in the sky for blessing.

Sun Daoning told them, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that these people are the guards of the East Palace and are absolutely loyal and reliable. All you need to do is cooperate well. Try your best to meet every request and all expenses will be paid to the public account."

"But there is not much money left in the public account." Niu Jiucheng took the opportunity to complain about poverty.

Sun Daoning made a decision immediately, "Leave 10% of the money in the public account and use it exclusively for the Tutor."

Niu Yucheng was greatly satisfied when he heard this.

As long as it doesn't harm his interests, he doesn't have any opinions.

After Sun Daoning explained most of the things, he went to talk to Chen Guanlou alone.

Chen Guanlou behaved with "sincerity and fear". How could a little jailer be so virtuous or talented as to be able to keep the noble minister in mind?

"My Lord, do you have anything to ask? I will do my best to share your worries." Chen Guanlou expressed his loyalty first.

Sun Daoning hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Guard Cui, who led the team, was born in the Cui family of Qingzhou. The Cui family has a daughter serving the prince. You should get along well with Guard Cui."

Chen Guanlou responded quickly and asked tentatively: "Does the Cui family have another daughter serving Your Majesty in the palace?"

Sun Daoning nodded, "Concubine Cui in the palace is a member of the Cui family, and she is the aunt and niece of Concubine Cui who is by the prince's side."

Royal relatives!

"Guard Cui is..." Chen Guanlou was inevitably curious, and took the opportunity to ask more.

Sun Daoning did not hide it. If you specifically inquire about these things, you can always find out.

He said, "Guard Cui is a descendant of the Cui family's side branch and is Cui Liangdi's cousin. So, he is absolutely trustworthy."

"What about Concubine Cui? Does Concubine Cui have children?"

Sun Daoning glanced at Chen Guanlou with a hint of meaning, "Concubine Cui has a son and a daughter. The Eighteenth Prince was born to Concubine Cui. However, the Eighteenth Prince just turned eight this year."

At only eight years old, the old emperor is already in his seventies. There are so many adult brothers above him. The Eighteenth Prince is definitely excluded from the list of heirs to the throne, and there is no chance at all.

"I understand. Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely get along well with Guard Cui and cooperate with his work."

"This time, the East Palace arranged people to protect His Royal Highness the Grand Tutor, which has caused dissatisfaction in the Taiji Palace. You have to grasp the degree of it."
