Chapter 422： The altar changes, Jingtai's powerful luck!

Chapter 422 The altar changes, Jingtai's powerful luck!

Chen Yuan did not dare to underestimate Emperor Jingtai. Whether it was Zhang Xuan, Su Ziyue, or Jiang He, Zhang Yantong, they were very cautious about the current emperor.

Some people call him the most powerful emperor of the Jin Dynasty except the founder Taizu.

Originally, he was not outstanding among the princes, or even a marginal figure. No one thought that he would have accumulated strength long ago, and succeeded in one fell swoop, killing and imprisoning his former brothers.

The wrist is very strong.

Moreover, he also broke the taboo, and forcibly raised his cultivation to the level of Tiandan as an emperor. You know, this is not easy. Whether it is the emperor of the former Chu or the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, very few people can bear it abruptly. Under the pressure of national destiny, the alchemy was successfully formed.

And such a person, all left their names in the history.

As for his name, Chen Yuan also knew about it.

Named Sima Zhaoye.

It's just that no one dared to mention this name since he ascended the throne. Although it is not a taboo, it is still taboo in the officialdom.

No official dares to use the name "Zhaoye"!

It didn't take long for the guard who had gone to the palace to deliver the greeting card to come back and allowed Zhang Yantong to bring Chen Yuan to meet him.

Imperial City.

Chen Yuan followed Zhang Yantong all the way, crossed half of the imperial city, and saw the luxury and magnificence of the imperial palace. Most of the floors were covered with white jade and bluestone interwoven floors.

At a glance, the entire imperial city is covered with attic palaces.

The imperial city alone, Chen Yuan felt, was no smaller than a mansion city, but one could imagine how big it was, and there were also a lot of guards inside, with a sky patrol guard stationed every 100 meters.

And this is the scope of the imperial city commander.

But that's not all.

The commander of the imperial city controls the outer imperial city, while the inner palace is guarded by the imperial guards, and a tyrannical aura hangs over the palace.

Chen Yuan was greatly shocked.

If this is the situation where the imperial court is now in decline, how terrible would it be if it was just established?

The imperial city is fine, but in the imperial palace, no one is allowed to control the sky, and the prohibition is engraved on it. Once touched, it will be noticed by the imperial guards in the imperial palace.

It can be said to be as solid as gold, which made him sigh that it is worthy of being the capital of a country.

At the moment.

Inside the Royal Garden of the Imperial Palace.

A middle-aged man in a dark black robe was talking to the person beside him. He had a square face, a sense of oppression in his eyes, a tall and straight figure, and a long beard on his chin.

Nine lifelike bright yellow real dragons are embroidered on the robe.

The whole person exudes an aura of incomparable dignity, without anger and prestige.

Just sitting there is a well-deserved center.

This person is none other than Sima Zhaoye, the emperor of Jin Dynasty, whose reign name is Jingtai.

Beside him, apart from some serving maids, the most conspicuous ones were two eunuchs, one of them was dressed in a black official mansion like Jingtai, with a big python embroidered on it.

The appearance is quite old, the face is white and beardless, but the eyes are full of light. It is Cao Zhengxian, the head of the palace, the head of the imperial supervisor, who has served several emperors.

As for the other one, he was dressed in a red official robe and had a stern face. If Chen Yuan saw him, he would have recognized him. This person was Yang Yuanqing, who made the edict before.

Jingtai picked up a cup of spiritual tea and took a sip, then said calmly:

"What happened to King Zhennan?"

Yang Yuanqing bowed and said in a low voice:

"Return to Your Majesty, King Zhennan said to reassure His Majesty that there is no change in those monster races in the southern border."

"Your Majesty, this matter is not trivial, and it must not be taken lightly. It has been five hundred years since the last time the Hundred Thousand Mountains in southern Xinjiang were swept away.

500 years of cultivation, the descendants of those powerful monsters who fell back then may have grown up. "Cao Zhengxian said solemnly.

"No problem."

Jingtai looked indifferent, as if he didn't care.

Cao Zhengxian changed his face and stopped talking, but Jingtai continued to ask:

"The prince of Zhennan is very sick, can the things I sent be useful?"

"It works, Your Majesty's panacea, the medicine will cure the disease, and before the minister leaves, the prince can already get out of bed and walk."

"That's good."

Jingtai hooked his mouth.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the demon sword Chen Yuan has arrived in the capital, and the first thing to do is to meet Zhang Shenshi first, which is quite polite."

Yang Yuanqing said.

"The last time you passed Tangshan, did you see Chen Yuan?"

"seen."

"How would you rate this person?"

Yang Yuanqing narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice:

"Untamed."

"Um?"

"The minister announced the decree that day, and the envoy Chen Qing gave the minister a slap in the face. Even if it was the holy decree, he still would not kneel down to listen to the decree. If His Majesty didn't value it, the minister would have to compete with this person whatever he said. .”

Cao Zhengxian glanced at Yang Yuanqing, frowning slightly:

"To shut up."

Jingtai waved his hand:

"After all, it is the first place in the battle of ascending immortals. It is normal to be a little arrogant. I have never valued such things, so I will not mention them again in the future."

"The veteran is incapable of discipline, Your Majesty forgives the sin."

"Your Majesty, forgive me!"

Yang Yuanqing's complexion tightened, and he immediately knelt down on the ground.

Jingtai snorted softly: "You have been with me for many years, how can I not know your character? Did you provoke Chen Yuan first?"

Yang Yuanqing felt wronged for a while. He really wanted to give Chen Yuan a blow, but he hadn't used it yet. He treated him coldly. Everything he said was true.

But since the emperor said it, he didn't dare to refute it, and hurriedly said:

"The minister is convicted."

"Okay, let's let this matter go, but if there is another time, you can go to the state capital below to work. Don't think that I don't know what you have done these years."

"The minister is convicted."

Yang Yuanqing said with his head down.

Cao Zhengxian's eyes flickered, knowing that it was the emperor who was beating him. In recent years, the emperor's inspector has indeed gone too far, and has repeatedly clashed with Xuntian.

Yang Yuanqing's incident was just an introduction, even if there was no such incident, the other party would beat him with other incidents.

What the emperor wants is not the Imperial Supervision Department to replace the Sky Surveyor Department, but the mutual checks and balances between them. This is the way to gain power.

Several people were talking, when a guard walked in, bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, the God Envoy has arrived."

"Let him in."

Then Jingtai stared at Yang Yuanqing on the ground again:

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yang Yuanqing let out a long breath and got up slowly.

Outside the imperial garden.

Chen Yuan and Zhang Yantong stood outside, silent, he could feel countless auras covering Chen Yuan's body, if there was anything wrong with him.

will definitely take it down immediately.

And if there are no accidents, these people should be the royal family enshrined by Zhang Xuan.

These are warriors in the rivers and lakes. They serve the imperial court for the sake of cultivation resources. They don’t care about things on weekdays and only care about cultivation, but if someone takes action against the imperial city.

will appear immediately.

"Zhang Shenshi, His Majesty let you in."

A guard who came out bowed.

"Let's go."

Zhang Yantong walked in front, and Chen Yuan followed behind him step by step. He dropped half of his body and stepped into the imperial garden. As soon as he entered, Chen Yuan felt a strong vitality comparable to that in a secret realm.

Originally, his vitality in the imperial palace was twice as strong as that of the outside world.

Passing through several rockeries full of aura, Chen Yuan finally saw the emperor of Jin Dynasty, Sima Zhaoye, a faint blue light flashed in his eyes.

His heart was shocked!

Sure enough, the Great Jin Emperor had luck!

Moreover, it is the purple luck that is different from abnormal people. If it weren't for this, there would be no abnormality in the eyes of the sky. At the same time, this incident also verified his guess.

As early as when Chen Yuan traveled here and gained luck by killing the iron hand, he had guessed whether those martial arts geniuses and court officials had luck.

The emperor's luck is the strongest.

But as he grew up, Chen Yuan met many officials and martial arts geniuses, but most of them did not have the so-called luck.

So he had doubts about whether the emperor had luck.

But now, this suspicion has disappeared.

Because Jingtai's body exudes a purple light that he has never seen before, like a bright sun, looking from a distance, it hurts his eyes a little.

At the same time, the broken altar in the depths of Chen Yuan's consciousness also seemed to feel something, and a desire to devour him poured into his mind.

Realizing this, Chen Yuan immediately withdrew his eyes.

I'm afraid that there will be any bigger changes in the altar of luck.

You must know that this place is inside the imperial palace. Once there is any abnormality, it will inevitably be noticed by those strong men who are hiding in the dark. With his current strength,

Then there is really only a dead end.

It may not even need other people to do it, Zhang Yantong next to him may capture him immediately and present him to Jingtai, so as not to have any suspicion of him.

Jingtai's luck is indeed unprecedented, and even the luck altar, which has been unresponsive for a long time, showed a strong intention of devouring for the first time.

shocked him greatly.

You know, this is the first time that the altar of luck has been in such a state. Before that, Chen Yuan collected more than ten times of luck, but basically the altar of luck didn't respond at all.

That is, when he devours luck, he will give himself guidance.

is no different than a dead object.

Of course, if you want to kill Jingtai, it is extremely difficult to collect the luck from him. Not to mention that Chen Yuan is not good at the alchemy realm, even if he transforms alchemy and concentrates, he has no hope at all.

In the imperial court, there are powerful people at the level of true emperors, and even the legendary land immortals may hide in the palace.

One finger is enough to crush him to death.

Killing is definitely going to be killed, but definitely not now.

He has to wait until he has the strength to reach heaven and earth before he can hope to kill Jingtai.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Yuan lowered his head, not daring to show any killing intent. Zhang Yantong bowed and cupped his fists, and said in a deep voice:

"I have seen His Majesty."

Jingtai nodded slightly, turned to Chen Yuan, with a smile in his eyes.

Following Zhang Yantong's steps, Chen Yuan bowed and said in a concentrated voice:

"Weichen Tangshan Mansion Sky Patrol Envoy Chen Yuan, see Your Majesty!"

"I heard from Yang Yuanqing that when you received the imperial edict in Tangshan, you didn't want to kneel down, but you were dissatisfied with me?" Jingtai's face turned straight, showing no emotions.

Chen Yuan's eyes were calm, neither humble nor overbearing, and continued:

"I didn't dare. The reason why I didn't kneel down to accept the order that day was because I was preparing to lead the Tangshan Xuntian Division to chase and kill the demons in the prefecture.

There was an order from the imperial court that those who organize the army and prepare for war can see that the sky will not kneel. "

Chen Yuan's tone was even, without the slightest hint of panic. Cao Zhengxian looked up and down the prestigious No. 1 Qianlong, wondering what he was thinking.

On the contrary, Yang Yuanqing, who was standing beside Jingtai, had a faint murderous intent in his eyes.

"Then why don't you kneel today?"

Jingtai continued to ask.

Chen Yuan frowned and let out a sigh of relief:

"Weichen."

"Forget it, since you don't want to kneel down, forget it. A warrior should have the courage to go forward, and I won't force you." Jingtai said lightly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. If Jingtai insisted on asking him to kneel, he felt that he might not be able to kneel today, but he really didn't want to kneel to anyone.

You can say that he is hypocritical, but you can also say other things.

But kneeling and saluting made him a little difficult to accept, and he would feel that he was a slave.

The murderous intent in Yang Yuanqing's eyes became more and more vigorous. He was reprimanded by Jingtai to kneel and crawl like a dog, but Chen Yuan was able to get his consent not to kneel.

How can we not make him jealous?

"I heard that you have monopolized power in Tangshan, and you hold all the military and government affairs in your hands. Is there such a thing?" Jingtai's voice changed.

One press and one release, won the emperor's way.

"It is true."

Chen Yuan didn't cover up, but told the truth honestly. Telling a lie requires countless lies to cover up. Besides, since Jingtai dared to ask such a question, he must know something.

Chen Yuan's frankness surprised everyone present and looked at him in surprise.

You must know that this is a serious crime suspected of treason!

Why did the imperial court separate the three powers?

It is to prevent someone from monopolizing power and giving birth to a heart of rebellion. This is what the court is most vigilant about, even more vigilant than some naked rebellion.

After all, that's how the Sima family succeeded in usurping the throne.

Directly occupying the land of a state, all the rights are in his hands, so how can he not have the ambition to become the world's top?

Jingtai's face remained unchanged when he heard the words, and said lightly:

"Tell me your reason."

The implication is that if there is no convincing reason, this matter will not be exposed so easily.

Yang Yuanqing stared at Chen Yuan, as if he wanted to see what he could say differently.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the reason why I have the power in my hand is because Tangshan has reached an irreparable situation before. If I can't wipe out those traitors with the force of thunder, it will be a big disaster!"

"The former magistrate colluded with the monsters of the Wusheng sect, sucked the souls of the people to make alchemy, and the former green envoy served as his wings, colluding with the entire Tangshan rivers and lakes warriors,

Suppress the armed forces so that they dare not move.

When the humble staff first arrived in Tangshan, it could be said that there were strong enemies outside and serious troubles inside. In the end, the humble staff could only suppress it with iron and blood.

Coupled with the help of Jiang Jinshi, the Tangshan Mansion was finally cleared up within a month, and there was no more evil spirits in the whole Tangshan. The method is to integrate the power of the imperial court to block it, and it is precisely because of this that it is rumored that the humble minister has monopolized power and has great ambitions.

But in fact, this humble official has only one passion, and if he wants to serve the country, please let your majesty learn from him! ! "

Chen Yuan's words were impassioned and touching, and he portrayed himself as a lonely minister, making Jingtai's eyes turn serious, and he said in a deep voice:

"Chen Aiqing is really a loyal figure in our Great Jin Dynasty, and will definitely become a pillar of our dynasty in the future."

"I dare not, but Your Majesty praises it. Your Majesty's brilliance is like the sun and the moon, and the light of my humble minister is like a firefly. Although I know that my ability is limited, it is also the last sliver of blood for the court."

Chen Yuan clasped his hands and clasped his hands solemnly.

These words are very beautiful, even Zhang Yantong's eyes flashed a hint of appreciation.

As he spoke, Chen Yuan lifted the things behind his back, revealing his true face, which was the Wanmin umbrella given by the common people before he left Tangshan Mansion.

Originally, he also wanted to dedicate this object to Jingtai, but he didn't expect the other party to ask him about it.

"What is this?"

Jingtai asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, this thing is the umbrella of the people. It was woven by those common people when Beizhi left Tangshan Mansion. For more than half a year, although Beizhi brutally killed the warriors in the rivers and lakes, he did nothing to the common people. He set up a porridge shed. Su the officialdom, plead for the people, the common people are grateful for the insignificant achievements of the humble ministers, so they donate this thing."

"Why are you so kind to the common people?" Jingtai asked puzzled.

In his opinion, these low-level officials should exploit the common people and search for oil and water. Chen Yuan is an exception.

"In the eyes of my ministers, the people are like water, and the court is like a boat. It can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. The people are the cornerstone of the court. Only when the people are strong can the country become rich."

Jingtai raised his hand and caressed his beard, his eyes were a little pensive, and he nodded after a long time:

"It can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. Well said, Chen Yuan, present the Wanmin Umbrella in your hand to me for a look."

"Please look, Your Majesty."

Chen Yuan took a few steps forward and handed the Wanmin umbrella to Jingtai.

He was ready to take it, but as soon as he touched it, he suddenly felt a hot temperature, which made him feel disgusted suddenly.

The hand stopped in the void quickly retracted, Jingtai said lightly:

"Since it was given to you by the common people, I won't read it."

"Okay, get back down."

Jingtai waved his hand, and a powerful invisible qi lifted Chen Yuan up, which surprised him. Just this one hand showed his terrifying control over the vitality of heaven and earth.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Chen Yuan clasped his fists together, and then slowly stood up. Although he was a little curious why the other party didn't continue to look at the Wanmin Umbrella, he didn't think too much about it, and wrapped it up again and put it on his back.

Jingtai's expression remained the same, without any change. He stared at Chen Yuan, turned his gaze to Cao Zhengxian, and said:

What does Cao Qing think of Chen Yuan? "

Cao Zhengxian's eyes moved when he heard the words, and he turned to Chen Yuan. After looking at him for a while, he said with a smile:

"Chen Qing is loyal to the country, the pillar of the country, is a talent, your Majesty may wish to transfer this person to the veteran's command."

"Huangchang is in need of such talents!"
