Chapter 570 Killing Immortals!
"Is Eunuch Cao still busy? Please come back if you have nothing to do."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Jing didn't give Cao Zhengxian any good looks. When Gu Tianqiong retreated before, the four great envoys of the Xuntian Division seemed to be on an equal footing.
But it is not.
It is often Xiao Jing who makes the final decision and decides on some crucial events.
Not only is he stronger than the other three envoys, but his prestige in the capital for decades is also unparalleled.
It is precisely because of this that when the position of Chief Superintendent of the Sky Survey Division was vacant, neither Zhang Yantong nor Wu Tianxi Zuo Tiancheng had any intention of competing.
I only dare to covet the vacated position of God Envoy of Tianzi.
He made up his mind to make the decision in the Xuntian Division. Naturally, he had a grudge with Cao Zhengxian, a stray dog. Now that the other party dares to trespass into the Xuntian Division's yamen without saying hello, how can he give him a good face?
Didn't scold him on the spot, so he restrained himself.
What about the approval of the former governor?
He is now the chief inspector of the Sky Survey Division!
Cao Zhengxian's face froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered. He followed several emperors, and he was very good at nourishing his energy. Otherwise, he would not have been able to live from the beginning of the founding of the Jin Dynasty to the present.
"Okay, the governor will take his leave."
Cao Zhengxian smiled lightly, and his eyes swept over the several envoys of the Xuntian Division, and among them, Chen Yuan stayed the longest.
There is a faint guess in my heart.
After finishing speaking, Cao Zhengxian turned around and left. This time he didn't go out directly, so as not to be scolded again, but walked out of Xuntian Temple step by step.
After Cao Zhengxian left, the atmosphere in Xuntian Hall was silent again for a moment, Xiao Jing said in a deep voice:
"Continue to discuss!"
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.
Jingtai, who had just sent Wei Guogong Gu Tianqiong away, took a deep breath, picked up the teacup in hand, put it to his mouth, took a sip, closed his eyes and meditated.
Thinking back to the current situation.
At the beginning of the war in the north, he thought he could cultivate for a few years, so that he could complete all the preparations and restore the people's livelihood and national strength. After all, in recent years, the court has been a little unstable.
But I didn't expect that there would be another disturbance in the south.
The monster tribe is in great trouble, the demons, the monsters, and the warriors of the rivers and lakes seem to have gathered in several southern states, and they even dared to assassinate the golden envoy.
There is a certain momentum that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of the building.
"As soon as possible."
Jingtai whispered to himself, a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes.
Long-term pain is not as good as short-term pain.
If it drags on for a few more years, the current situation in the world will become even more unstable. The north and the south are already a serious problem. The Wudi City in the east is raising private soldiers, which is not a small plan.
Overseas barbarians always want to occupy the Central Plains.
And the Western Regions.
More than nothing.
Buddhism and the Sima family only have mutual interests. Now that the layout has been more than two hundred years old, the orthodoxy has completely taken root in the Central Plains, and it will never be stable in the future.
Thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, although they are only a corner of the land, they regard Lingshan as a holy mountain. An edict can determine the candidate for the monarch, and no one dares to disobey.
Who knows if Buddhism will be like this in the Central Plains?
After all, he had already guessed the thoughts of these sanctimonious monks.
And it is impossible for him to be suppressed by a mountain on the emperor's head, then he is not the emperor, but a servant of Lingshan!
"Your Majesty, Eunuch Cao is asking to see you."
A high-pitched voice sounded outside the door of the imperial study.
The drizzle had begun to fall at some point, soaking the ground, exuding a sense of coolness, and the breeze was blowing, blowing the corners of the palace guards.
Cao Zhengxian got the answer, straightened his hunched back slightly, and slowly stepped into the brightly lit imperial study.
At a glance, he saw His Majesty the emperor who was not angry and arrogant, and immediately bowed down:
"The veteran sees Your Majesty."
"Have you been to the Sky Survey Division?"
Jingtai raised his head and fixed his eyes on Cao Zhengxian. Although his cultivation was far from him, his whole body exuded a great majesty.
"Return to Your Majesty, I have already been there."
"how?"
Cao Zhengxian didn't dare to hide anything, lowered his gaze, cupped his hands and cupped his fists:
"When the old minister arrived at the Xuntian Palace, the governor Xiao Jing and several envoys had already discussed the affairs of Shuzhou, and decided to let Chen Yuan go to the town to hunt down the thieves. It is estimated that His Majesty will make a decision when he goes to court tomorrow."
After Cao Zhengxian finished speaking, the entire imperial study fell into silence.
Jingtai, who was originally calm, frowned slightly, and pondered for a moment:
"What do you think about this?"
"The old minister doesn't know much, so he dare not speak nonsense."
Cao Zhengxian knew that Jingtai already had guesses in his heart, so it was useless to say more.
"What do you mean. Was Lu Renjia, the golden envoy of Shu Prefecture, killed by Chen Yuan?"
Can't blame him for thinking like this, it's too coincidental, he will put pressure on Chen Yuan at the court meeting soon, and the other party must be well aware of this matter.
But at such a time, such a thing happened.
It's hard not to say that it has nothing to do with him.
"Veteran feels that Marquis Wu'an should not have such courage." Cao Zhengxian pondered for a moment, then replied in a low voice.
'should'.
The word "should" means to tell Jingtai that there may be such a possibility.
It seems to be speaking for Chen Yuan, but in fact it makes Jingtai more suspicious.
However, this is not the case that Cao Zhengxian put eye drops on Chen Yuan, he really thinks so in his heart.
He is well aware of some of Jingtai's schemes, and he is also well aware of Chen Yuan's resistance to marriage. With Chen Yuan's disposition of meeting Buddhas and killing Buddhas, meeting ghosts and killing ghosts, it is not impossible to kill court officials.
Jingtai's dignified eyes turned to him, stared at him for a moment, the imperial study room fell into silence again, and after a long time, he opened his mouth and said:
"Chen Yuan is a smart person, he knows what to do and what not to do. I don't believe he did it when something like this happened at this kind of timing."
In his opinion, Chen Yuan has been able to go all the way to the present. Bravery, resourcefulness, and talent are all the top choices. He will not be unclear about the consequences of this incident.
The more people think it was his hand, the more likely it is not.
It is very likely that someone was fishing in troubled waters, which made him dissatisfied with Chen Yuan, and even made him jealous.
When Cao Zhengxian heard this sentence, his eyes were obviously stunned for a moment. He didn't expect His Majesty to think of this, and he was a little uncertain for a while.
Could Chen Yuan be so impulsive?
He is just a mere primordial spirit. If he is feared by the emperor, it is normal that he cannot leave the capital for the rest of his life. It is impossible to do such a desperate thing.
"Your Majesty is right."
He quickly agreed.
"It seems that Chen Yuan has received a lot of attention, which is normal. A peerless genius who has not been seen for hundreds of years has a high prestige, and it is normal for people to plan something.
It's a pity that I am not an ordinary king, so it would be too childish to rely on this to frame him. "
Jingtai sneered.
"What your majesty said is that the old minister actually thinks so. When he was in the Tian Xun Division, Governor Xiao once said that he intended to let Chen Yuan go to the south to sit in charge for a few years. This is the Xun Tian Division's rule."
Since the emperor had no intention of associating with Chen Yuan, he naturally wanted to say these words.
Hearing Cao Zhengxian talk about Xiao Jing, many doubts in Jingtai's heart really dissipated. It was just talking, but in fact, the doubts were very heavy.
Xiao Jing is his confidant. They had already met in secret a long time ago, almost when he just became the envoy of the Sky Surveyor. Over the years, he has used Xiao Jing to know everything about the Sky Surveyor.
are used to it.
After Gu Tianqiong left the customs, he was not used to it, so he was transferred away, and Xiao Jing completely controlled the Xuntian Division and became his violent yamen.
"But Chen Yuan is really courageous."
Jingtai said in a deep voice.
Chen Yuan was too close to the fourth prince Sima Ke, and he was the most important court official who had a close relationship with the prince among the noble officials in the current dynasty.
Although he didn't know what method Sima Ke used to get Chen Yuan to support him, he just felt uncomfortable.
The kind of discomfort other than threatening imperial power.
It is elusive, but it actually exists.
After thinking about it, he felt that it was because of his possessiveness that he was still at work, and he didn't allow the subordinates to have other thoughts about him, and Chen Yuan was the same.
Cao Zhengxian knew what the emperor was referring to, so he remained silent.
"Ganer Youer's current momentum is not as good as Keer's. It's all because of Chen Yuan. We can't let him continue to support it. It's okay to go out of town."
Jingtai tapped the table with his fingers, very regularly, but more oppressive.
It's like hitting someone's heart.
"What about the wedding?"
Cao Zhengxian narrowed his eyes, pondered for a while and said slowly.
The emperor had been planning for so long, and wanted to completely bring Chen Yuan into the Sima family.
"After the big wedding, let it go outside."
"But if Chen Yuan still firmly refuses."
"Then don't blame me for suppressing it."
A chill flashed across Jingtai's eyes.
Chen Yuan has just made great achievements, and his reputation is very high in the Central Plains. He is also recognized as a peerless genius in the world, with great potential, and he must not be killed.
Killing it will cause the reputation of the imperial court to plummet.
Countless people were disappointed.
But it can be suppressed, completely suppressed in the capital, when will he become his son-in-law, and when will he be given 'freedom'.
Otherwise, with Chen Yuan's growth rate, if he was outside the town for a few years, he might not be able to reach such a point, and it would be impossible to coerce him any more.
I have the confidence to turn my face.
"Your Majesty calm down."
Cao Zhengxian bowed.
"Go down and have a rest, and go to court tomorrow."
"The old minister resigns."
Cao Zhengxian bowed, turned around and left slowly.
The lights in the imperial study room remained the same as before, without any change.
Shenjingcheng is still the ordinary small courtyard before.
The chief inspector of the Sky Survey Division, Xiao Jing, who had covered himself up, quietly appeared here, standing with his hands behind his back, as if he was waiting for something, about a quarter of an hour later.
The surrounding void has undergone some turbulent changes.
A blurry human face slowly coalesced.
Xiao Jing bowed and cupped his fists, his eyes were calm:
"See my lord."
"Um"
"What the lord did in Shuzhou is a little dangerous, and it is easy to suspect Chen Yuan. The subordinates even think that Jingtai may already be suspicious of Chen Yuan's hands and feet."
Xiao Jing couldn't help but said.
It is true that he has a deep relationship with the Xiang family, but it is not that he has no status at all. The governor of the Sky Survey Department still has some reputation, and he dares to ask these words.
"It wasn't the Xiang family who did it."
Xiang Qianqiu said slowly.
"no?"
Xiao Jing froze for a moment, and frowned.
He thought that Lu Renjia, the golden envoy of Shuzhou, died at the hands of Xiang's family in preparation for Chen Yuan's transfer from the capital. After all, the other party had said this before when they met each other last time.
But he also knew Xiang Qianqiu's character, since he said no, it must be no.
"How can I not know the pros and cons? Chen Yuan was born in Qingzhou in the south. At the critical moment of Jingtai's intimidation, something happened in Shuzhou, and an envoy was urgently needed. It is very normal to suspect Chen Yuan."
"That"
Xiao Jing frowned, his eyes pensive.
This brought another problem. If it wasn't the Xiang family who did it, then it probably wasn't Chen Yuan who did it. After all, he is not stupid, so it is impossible for him to do such a thing.
It is very likely that someone wants to plant Chen Yuan on him.
Of course, it may also be a'coincidence'.
It's just that this possibility is really not high.
"The south will not be stable for a while, and now it should be just the beginning. Either it is a coincidence, or... there is still a force behind that wants to muddy the water."
"But if this is the case, it will not be good for Chen Yuan. Now it is a critical moment, and his subordinates have pushed Chen Yuan up on their own initiative. Jingtai may already be suspicious."
He suddenly realized that he seemed to have done something wrong.
"It's okay, Jingtai is suspicious and conceited. The more he points the finger at Chen Yuan, the less he will think about him, and he can even dispel his doubts."
"Does the lord think that Jingtai will still send Chen Yuan to Shuzhou?"
"Shu Prefecture is not very stable, and it would be bad to go there. The Xiang family's commotion is in the north and west. These two places are the most stable in a short period of time.
Can keep him stable for a few years. "
Xiang Qianqiu's tone was flat, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
Chen Yuan's cultivation is indeed improving fast, and there are people behind him to support him, but he is still a little far from meeting his requirements, so he cannot help him.
"My lord, what happened?"
Xiao Jing looked at Xiang Qianqiu solemnly, a little suspiciously.
"You will know about it tomorrow at the court meeting. It is useless to know now. If Jingtai wants to send Chen Yuan to the south, you can help him with a few words. The same is true for the north and the west."
Xiao Jing's eyes flickered:
"Recently, there is something wrong with Jingtai's actions. What if we insist on keeping Chen Yuan in the capital?"
"Then stay, it doesn't matter, as long as you don't die."
Xiang Qianqiu said indifferently.
"The subordinate understands."
Xiao Jing nodded slightly.
"How about the things I asked you to prepare for?"
Xiang Qianqiu continued to speak.
"It's almost done, Sky Surveyor."
Wu'anhou Mansion.
When Jingtai was planning to get married, and Xiang Qianqiu was planning to make some disturbances, Chen Yuan was sitting in the study with a calm gaze, sipping spirit tea and practicing.
He thought of many strategies to break the situation, but they were all vain to the emperor.
The other party insisted on keeping him, and any tricks were useless.
The only thing he can rely on is the knife in his hand, and the demon monk Mo Luo in the body of Huang Tu's knife.
Conspiracies and tricks are small ways, and they can't achieve big things. In the past, he would use some schemes to assess the situation and follow the trend, but now he barely has the qualifications to turn his face, and he doesn't need these things anymore.
Because he is standing a little higher now.
Some strategies are useful when weak, but when strong, all you are facing is the general trend.
So, Chen Yuan has always thought clearly.
At worst, he overturned the table, and didn't give Jingtai a chance to tie the rope on him.
There was a faint light radiating from the gathering element array, and the vitality was extremely strong.
Stabilized Chen Yuan's cultivation of the primordial spirit that had just been promoted.
Many people didn't sleep that night.
The major event that happened in the Sky Survey Division has already started to spread in the capital, and they also know that the emperor will definitely be furious, and will not continue to 'the dragon is in trouble'.
He is a golden envoy who surveys the sky, an official of the fourth rank, and a great official in frontiers.
Officials like this were killed in the Xuntian Division openly and aboveboard, which was completely slapping the face of the court, as if they were not afraid of the court's revenge at all.
Time passed quickly, and the breeze and drizzle had stopped before dawn.
A ray of morning light shines on the world again.
Chen Yuan, who had practiced all night, stretched his body slightly, ate some breakfast food in the mansion calmly, and even peeled two eggs, as if nothing happened.
What to eat and what to drink, nothing to worry about.
The Marquis of Wu'an's mansion is very calm. For those ordinary servants, they don't know the situation in the court at all. They just feel that Lord Hou is in a good mood today.
Not much different from usual.
This time, Chen Yuan did not wear the Marquis uniform bestowed by the emperor, but the Heiyun official uniform of the four great envoys of Xuntian Division. His majesty revealed a powerful momentum.
The Emperor Butcher's Knife is stored in the space of the Book of Heaven.
Chen Yuan embarked on the road to the Golden Luan Hall. On the way, he used his spiritual thoughts to hook up with the senior Mo Luo hidden in the Emperor Butcher's Knife. This is his reliance. If something goes wrong, the consequences today will be unimaginable.
"Senior?"
"Amitabha."
A compassionate Buddha's name sounded in Chen Yuan's ears.
"I'll take care of my seniors today."
Chen Yuan said solemnly.
"It doesn't matter, there is a poor monk here, no matter how bad it is, you can break out of the capital city. The immortal from the Sima family will not stare at it all the time, and have some time to react."
"That's good."
With this reassurance, he has nothing to be afraid of.
With a sharp blade in his body, he is willing to kill himself.
"Jie Jie Jie boy, what are you afraid of, with me here, even if the Sima family's **** dares to come out, we can kill him!"
As soon as Chen Yuan finished speaking, a murderous voice rang out.
is the demonic form of Mara!
Chen Yuan frowned, the evil spirit was too fierce, although he had always relied on his power, Chen Yuan still wanted to get in touch with the Buddha more.
"Senior, aren't you joking? Can you really kill?"
he echoed.
"I'm afraid of a fart. At worst, your soul will be wiped out, your body will collapse, and I, the Buddha and the devil, will kill the old things of the Sima family." Mo Luomoxiang sneered.
Chen Yuan: "."
"Senior, this."
He didn't expect to be able to suppress and kill immortals now.
"He's just lying to you. The Sima family's immortal was born, and the poor monk and you will pass away today."
——
Punch in and ask for a monthly pass!
Cao Zhengxian reported Chen Yuan's matter, Jingtai was suspicious.
