'Why is it thundering?!'

All the Jiajing courtiers who were kneeling around the Thunder Altar were shocked by Xia Yan's attitude towards Emperor Jiajing.

After all, the Jiajing Dynasty was not a Zhengde Dynasty. After more than twenty years of hard work by the Jiajing Immortal, most of those who dared to confront the emperor on the spot were dead.

In the eyes of all the ministers, as Xia Shoufu was so strong, he was probably not far away from death.

"Dad, look!"

Yan Shifan, who was beside Yan Song, his expression suddenly changed at this moment, and he said urgently in Yan Song's ear.

"The opportunity to kill Xia Yan has come!"

To Yan Song and his son, Xia Yan was an absolute shame.

In order to save the dog's life from Xia Yan, Yan Song and his son once visited Xia Yan and knelt down to beg for mercy. The eighteen generations of their ancestors were disgraced.

Yan Song, who was still thinking about whether to make a wave of yin and yang, was reminded by his eldest son, and his eyes subconsciously fell on the thunder altar, and found that a figure appeared out of thin air in front of Emperor Jiajing.

"this…"

"Is this an immortal?!"

Yan Song's pupils shrank sharply.

"Dad, what are you waiting for?!"

Yan Shifan urged urgently.

At this moment, Yan Song suddenly woke up and understood what his son meant.

No matter if he is an immortal or not, you, Xia Yan, are doomed today!

Taking a deep breath, Yan Song did not hesitate at all, struck decisively, and kowtowed immediately.

"Welcome to Taoist Ancestor Linchen!"

As soon as he said this, the words of worship of Yan Song, the second assistant to the cabinet, echoed around the thunder altar where the lingering rumble was still lingering.

The Jiajing Immortal is inviting Taoist ancestors to offer sacrifices to heaven tonight. Everyone knows this.

As soon as Yan Song opened his mouth, his gang of horsemen in the court reacted immediately.

No matter whether the person who appears is Daozu or not, as long as this matter is confirmed, Xia Yan will be finished. The best outcome is to get out of the cabinet and reduce his position to serve the people.

In this way, Boss Yan will be the chief assistant again!

"Welcome to Taoist Ancestor Linchen!"

"…………"

Under the leadership of Yan Shifan, the members of the Yan Party united in unison.

'Xia Gong, you are reckless.'

Xu Jie, among the ministers, glanced at Xia Yan, who was a little confused, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

After thinking for a moment, he kowtowed without any hesitation.

"Welcome to Taoist ancestor Linchen."

Now, it's time to stand in line.

If you don't do it, when Xia Yan falls, the Yan Party will start to settle accounts.

Xu Jie was reprimanded by Zhang Cong for the Confucius statue. If Xia Yan hadn't supported him after he came to power, he would still be in Jiangxi Province. Since he was supported by Xia Yan all the way, if he didn't stand in advance, he would definitely be unable to escape in the future.

Take off.

At this time.

On top of this thunder altar.

The most excited person is the Jiajing Immortal at this time.

The officials under the thunder altar may have thought that the immortal who suddenly appeared was an extra specially invited by Yan Song to bring down Xia Yan, or that he was a professional actor trained by the Jiajing immortal himself.

After all, in the era when the emperor took the lead and raised his dynasty to cultivate immortality, it was quite normal to play such political tricks.

But Zhu Houcong would never think so.

Because what he saw with his own eyes was that there was no one there a second ago, but when the thunder passed, people appeared.

This is not Daozu Linchen, what else could it be?!

'Tao, Taoist ancestor has revealed his holiness!'

Zhu Houcong looked up and took a deep breath. When he saw the face of Dao Ancestor that was completely different from what he had imagined, tears of excitement filled his eyes.

'Dad, did you see it?'

'The baby is done! The baby is really done!'

'I, Zhu Houcong, am finally going to become an immortal! I'm going to be in the immortal class!'

'With my sincerity and the support of Dao Ancestor, given time, it is not impossible to become the Jade Emperor!'

With an excited heart and lofty ideals, Zhu Houcong respectfully kowtowed to the ‘Tao Ancestor’.

The emperor on earth is just a ball, but my ambition, Zhu Houcong, is to be the supreme one in heaven!

"Disciple Zhu Houcong, pay homage to Master!"

"Master," this directly leads to a master-disciple relationship.

Tao Zhongwen, who was accompanying Jiajing on the side, was even more confused and kowtowed after Jiajing.

'Master, it turns out that there are real immortals in this world, and you damned me for thinking you lied to me!'

Tao Zhongwen remembered what his master said to him before his death, "Only fools believe that there are immortals in the world." This completely shattered Tao Zhongwen's Taoist spirit that he had persisted in for more than twenty years.

From then on, Tao Zhongwen, with the original intention of not being fooled by himself, began to cheat people all over the country, trying to deceive everyone he could.

In the end, he was recommended by Shao Yuanjie to enter the court, and used Fu Shuili Sword to eradicate the evil spirits in the palace. He gained the trust of the Jiajing gods and successfully reached the pinnacle of the deception industry.

When he thought of the years he had wasted in practicing Taoism, Tao Zhongwen wanted to go back, lift up the coffin of his master, drag him out and beat him up.

If it weren't for you, old guy, who ruined my Taoist heart, I might be all in love now!

‘What the hell.’

Ji Boying frowned slightly.

He traveled through the Jiajing time and space and locked the position of the Jiajing Immortal. He did not expect to appear in such a way.

He put his hands behind his waist and glanced first at Jiajing, then at the surroundings, and landed on the only old man standing.

‘Xia Yan.’

The moment Ji Boying traveled through time, he happened to hear Xia Yan's heroic words just now.

Ji Boying couldn't say he had a good or bad impression of this Xia Shofu.

Judging from the fact that he supported Xu Jie regardless of personal grudges, he was considered a man of integrity.

But looking back, I see that this guy also gained a position by flattering the Jiajing Immortal through discussing rituals, and after he accurately flattered the Jiajing Immortal's groove.

In less than a year, he was promoted from a seventh-rank official to the second-rank Minister of Rites.

This promotion speed is simply faster than Musk’s rocket.

But after entering the cabinet, this old boy's true nature was revealed. He had been in a high position for a long time, was dictatorial and his daily luxury level exceeded that of the Jiajing Immortal.

In the 18th year of Jiajing's reign, he even gave himself the title of "Shangzhu Kingdom". There was no such thing in the Ming Dynasty. It was purely for Xia Yan's own pleasure.

Once you get too high, problems arise.

One night late at night, the Jiajing Immortal frowned, made a secret gesture with his hands, and used the "Dog Escape and Transformation into a Dog Technique".

Yan Song, who was originally promoted to the position of Minister of Rites by Xia Yan, and who was supposed to be Xia Yan's loyal horse, suddenly betrayed him and turned from Xia Yan's horse into Jiajing's dog leg.

Yan Laogou came up and Xia Yan was in trouble.

Of course, after Xia Yan was dismissed for the first time, Yan Laogou was so proud that he almost felt like a human again.

Just as he was getting high, Xia Yan was called back by Jiajing.

This is the ultimate move of the Jiajing Immortal, "Rashomon Dog Eat Dog Technique".

According to the current process, about two years later, Xia Yan will be too aloof and will not regard the emperor's mazi as a human being.

Even Lu Bing, the disciple of Jiajing Immortal, didn't take it seriously, and all the commanders from Lu came to his door and knelt down and howled for him.

Jiajing heard so many bad things about Ma Zai that he naturally began to get tired of Xia Yan.

In addition, after Xia Yan re-entered the cabinet as the chief minister, he did not restrain his previous arrogance at all, and became more arbitrary. He even began not to regard the emperor as a cadre, and sometimes openly opposed the Jiajing Immortal's cultivation of immortality.

For Jiajing, as long as the government is stable and balanced, I can turn a blind eye if you mess around in the cabinet.

But you are against me cultivating immortality, are you so tired of living?!

So Yan Laogou seized this golden opportunity, and with the help of Lu Bing, defeated Xia Yan in one fell swoop.

In the end, Xia Yan lost his wife and children and was exiled, and he ended up being beheaded at Caishikou.
