Zhu Youjian also supported it at the beginning because there were too many eunuch party officials, but now the situation of eunuch party fighting has gone out of control. Officials impeach each other and often become eunuch party. Although Zhu Youjian repeatedly banned party formation for personal gain, party struggles remained.

Especially those officials who returned to the court after Zhu Youjian ascended the throne, even shook the flag of the eunuch party. When they encountered those who were not dealt with, they would put the hat of the eunuch party over and then attacked in groups. Even Zhu Youjian could not fight against the general trend of the court.

Now Zhu Youjian's attitude towards him is obviously dissatisfied with them. It is estimated that they will take action soon. At that time, he, the chief minister, will definitely be the first to bear the brunt. Judging from Zhu Youjian's meanness towards Wang Congyi and others, by the time Zhu Youjian takes action, he probably won't even be able to retreat with decentness.

Hearing Han Yu's words, Zhu Youjian looked up suddenly and looked at Han Yu with a sharp gaze for a long time, while Han Yu lowered his head, as if he didn't feel Zhu Youjian's gaze.

"Han Aiqing is still strong. If you are ill, you might as well take a few more days of rest. Why should you please come back so easily?"

After being silent for a long time, Zhu Youjian spoke.

"When you go back to your Majesty, I know my body and bones, and I am no longer able to continue. If I force myself to stay in the position of chief minister and delay the great affairs of the court, I will die and redeem it!"

Upon hearing this, Han Yu sighed. He naturally knew that Zhu Youjian's thoughts were nothing more than trying to suppress the party struggles. Unfortunately, even Zhu Youjian couldn't do it, so how could he do it? If he continued to stay in the cabinet, then others would only think that Zhu Youjian still favored them and continued to get worse. He might as well leave and give those people a warning.

"I'm sure."

Hearing Han Yu's words, Zhu Youjian waved his hand helplessly.

………

Jinan Prefecture City.

In Zichen Palace, Su Hao was playing with the demon pill in his hand. After Zhang Yi came to Jinan Prefecture City, he granted Zhang Yi an official position of 100 households, gave him 30,000 taels of silver, and took the demon pill into his pocket.

Although 30,000 silver is far less than the value of the demon pill, the protection he gave to Zhang Yi is priceless. If a thousand-year demon pill is measured by silver, it will cost at least one million taels of silver, and there is no market price. After all, gold and silver are not precious things for those who can protect the demon pill.

For a small person like Zhang Yi, even if he gives Zhang Yi one million taels of silver, Zhang Yi can't save it. After all, it is the original sin that a child can hold money. Even if he doesn't do it, others will also chew Zhang Yi completely.

"Your Majesty, the head of the Laoshan Sect is waiting outside the hall."

At this time, an eunuch walked into the hall and said respectfully.

"Prince."

After putting the demon pill on the table, Su Haodan Dan said that if he wanted to refine the demon pill into a pill, only Taoist people had this ability, and the Laoshan School in Shandong had this ability.

After a while, an old Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe and a fairy-like appearance walked into the hall under the guidance of the eunuch.

"I am Yun Anzi to meet His Majesty Qi!"

Yun Anzi bowed.

"The Taoist priest doesn't have to be too polite."

Su Hao said calmly: "I invite the Taoist priest to come this time, mainly because I want to ask the Taoist priest to refine this thousand-year-old demon pill into a pill for me."

After saying that, Su Hao asked the eunuch to take the demon pill to Yun Anzi.

After taking the demon pill from the eunuch tremblingly, Yun Anzi felt that the demon pill in his hand was so hot. Although he had guessed what Su Hao asked him to do before coming to Jinan Prefecture City, he still felt a headache when the matter came to an end.

Not to mention that the difficulty of refining demon pills is extremely difficult, the risk alone is not something that their Laoshan Sect can bear. After refining, the anger of the Ming Dynasty is not something that their Laoshan Sect can bear. Now the weakness of Daqi is that there are few masters. Once the elixir is refined, whether Su Hao is promoted to the innate realm or the number of martial arts masters in Daqi is enough to make the Ming Dynasty angry.

But if they cannot be refined, Su Hao's anger will not be able to bear it. If they are not careful, the Laoshan Sect will disappear.

After struggling for a while, Yun Anzi gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty Qi Emperor, Xiaodao is not skilled in his craftsmanship and dare not take on this important task. If the treasure of Qi Emperor is damaged, Xiaodao will be redeemed for death."

After saying that, Yun Anzi looked at Su Hao nervously and could only pray in his heart that Su Hao could let them go. After all, it would be a dead end to refine or not.

Although Da Qi seems to have achieved success now, he has been living in Shandong for a long time and knows that there is almost no hope for Su Hao to compete with the Ming Dynasty based on Shandong alone.

Shandong is in the four battles and has no danger to defend. Just guarding the canal alone can't stop the Ming Dynasty, which is sitting in the entire Central Plains. The Ming Dynasty can consume Da Qi alone. If he helped Su Hao refine elixirs, then once the Da Qi is destroyed, the Ming Dynasty will definitely not let the Laoshan Sect go.

Hearing Yun Anzi's ruthlessness, Su Hao suddenly narrowed his eyes and then said coldly: "Yun Anzi, do you think I am too easy to talk to, can you bully your weakness?"

"Your Majesty forgives your crime, Xiaodao will never dare to have such an idea."

Yun Anzi didn't expect Su Hao to say that, and his face suddenly turned pale and he quickly fell to the ground.

The Laoshan Sect has not been developing for a long time. There are not many masters in the sect now. There are only four first-class masters and eight second-rate ones. This strength is quite good in the world, but compared with Daqi, it is not worth mentioning.

"Don't dare?"

Su Hao said coldly: "I sent someone to seek martial arts before. Your Laoshan Sect repeatedly ruling, but I didn't blame you. Now, just letting you refine a pill, you dare to continue ruling. Do you really think that my knife is not good?"

Before, he didn't want to ruin his reputation because of his forced martial arts, but it doesn't mean that he will let the Laoshan Sect rude. If he indulges the Laoshan Sect too much, he will appear weak and bullied.

"I dare not."

Hearing Su Hao's cold tone, Yun Anzi kowtowed a few more times. He could feel that if Su Hao could not be satisfied this time, the entire Laoshan Sect might be raged by Su Hao's anger.

"I have prepared the alchemy furnace and medicinal materials in the side hall. If I cannot satisfy me, there is no need for Laoshan School to exist."

After looking at Yun Anzi deeply, Su Hao said slowly.

"I understand the little way."

Hearing Su Hao's last disc, Yun Anzi responded quickly. He knew very well that the only Laoshan Sect in Shandong had the ability to refine elixirs, but the entire Ming Dynasty was not the only one. Even if they destroyed their Laoshan Sect, Su Hao could still find other Taoist masters to refine elixirs.

As the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food. As long as Su Hao offers a high price, there will be people who are willing to take risks. After all, such things do not require a big fanfare, and others can disguise themselves and modify them.

After pausing for a while, Yun Anzi continued: "Your Majesty, the attainments of the Alchemy of the Small Path are limited. I wonder if Your Majesty can invite my third junior brother here too. He has been studying Alchemy for many years, and the Alchemy of the Small Path is still above the Small Path. Only with his help can you ensure that everything is foolproof."

"I will send someone."

Su Hao said calmly: "If you successfully refine the pill, I will never be stingy with rewards."

He has already mastered the methods of coercion and temptation. He has used the coercion, and the rest is temptation.

"The path will never disappoint your majesty's high hopes."

After hearing Su Hao's words, Yun Anzi could only comfort himself, and Su Hao would really have a great reward.

………

Gaizhou Acropolis.

The garrison in the center of the city has now become Tang Xiangjin's residence. In the backyard practice room, Tang Xiangjin closed his eyes and practiced, with an invisible layer of air swelling on his body.

If there are strong people here, they will definitely be able to come out. At this time, Tang Xiangjin is at a critical moment of breakthrough, and it is also a critical moment of breaking through to the martial arts master.

Sensing the tumbling internal force in his body, Tang Xiangjin carefully controlled the internal force to impact the Ren Mai, constantly widening the width of the Ren Mai.

After a long time, Tang Xiangjin felt that his internal force seemed to hit a very hard iron wall. It was difficult to move forward any more. Tang Xiangjin knew that this was his last bottleneck. As long as he broke through this iron wall, his meridians would be completely unblocked and he would be promoted to a martial arts master.

After brewing for a long time, Tang Xiang bit his teeth and activated a large amount of internal force to hit the bottleneck.

boom!

Tang Xiangjin felt the pain was unbearable when the internal force hit the bottleneck, but he did not stop, but endured the pain and controlled the internal force to hit the bottleneck again and again. He knew very well that if he didn't succeed this time, he would have to do it again next time, and it would be even more difficult.

Once, twice, three times...

Just when Tang Xiangjin was about tortured by severe pain and lost his mind, his internal strength seemed to break through some restrictions and entered a wider space.

ah!

At this moment, Tang Xiangjin shouted excitedly to the sky.

Tang Xiangjin's roar immediately alarmed Wang Lian and others not far away, and several figures rushed towards the backyard where Tang Xiangjin was.

When he arrived at the backyard, Tang Xiangjin happened to walk out of the practice room.

"Governor Tang, I wonder if there is an enemy attack?"

Seeing that Tang Xiangjin's face was a little pale, she was neat and didn't look like she had a big fight, Wang Lian couldn't help but wonder.

"If you are worried, Tang just happened to make a breakthrough and was impulsive."

Tang Xiangjin said with a smile on his face.

Breakthrough?

When Wang Lian and others heard Tang Xiangjin's words, they were stunned, but then they reacted. Tang Xiangjin had already broken through to the master of martial arts. After all, if they had only broken through a certain meridian, Tang Xiangjin would never be so excited.

"Congratulations to Governor Tang!"

Wang Lian congratulated with envy, saying that he is also a first-class warrior, and he has been breaking through for seven or eight years. Unfortunately, he lacks resources. He has only opened up three meridians in seven or eight years, and he is still far away from the martial arts master.
