Chapter 503: The Enemy

The new emperor was elegant and political, and the Ming Dynasty was full of joy.

As soon as the emperor ascended the throne, he issued a general amnesty to the whole country, and the shackles that were weighing on the heads of the ministers were suddenly removed.

Immediately, the emperor issued an order to limit the power of the Jinyiwei and not to monitor officials at will. Many officials who were arrested rehabilitated and regained their official positions, and many were promoted as a result.

All kinds of "unjust cases" have been vindicated, and many officials have been released from prison and put on official uniforms to see the light of day again. The jailers are miserable and fearful, fearing that these officials will come back to retaliate.

As for the officials, they had no time to recall their time in prison. They cried bitterly and called the emperor wise and a rare wise king in ancient times.

Looking down from the restaurant, there were many cars and horses in the Tianlao, all coming to pick up the master's family. They hugged each other and cried at first, and then they were so happy that they looked at the streets of the capital as if they were in another world.

Li Yu looked at this bizarre scene and couldn't laugh or cry, "This is really an emperor and a courtier."

What I know about Zhu Qizhen is that he knows about the Tumu Fortress Incident, and it may not be appropriate in this time and space. He is still a child now, and he became emperor early because his father was killed.

The prime minister in black of the Ming Dynasty lost power. His mistake was that after returning to the Ming Dynasty, he did not calm down and develop his own power, so he rashly joined forces with the emperor to launch a campaign to clean up the officialdom. Although their methods were not as violent as those of Taizu, the purge was

The scale was far less than one-tenth of what it was at that time, but the backlash it caused was so huge.

Taizu was able to clean up the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty because his authority was absolutely uncompromising. Zhu Yuanzhang fought all his life, starting with a bowl, and conquered thousands of miles of territory.

Who among his civil servants and generals would dare to disobey?

Zhu Zhanji was an emperor of peace, without the illustrious achievements of his ancestors, nor the supreme authority of his ancestors.

Their rash advance inevitably caused a backlash in the officialdom, and now even the emperor is dead.

Li Yu had to sigh, Yao Guangxiao had been imprisoned for ten years, and ten years was enough time for a court to create countless interest groups.

They stick together for warmth and can quickly fill the power vacuum. Power is the most ruthless thing. It will not wait for you for ten days, let alone ten years.

Yao Guangxiao actually dared to clean up the officialdom. Li Yu was able to clean up the officialdom in Bianliang of the Song Dynasty because Cai Jing spent more than ten years helping him break up the civil service system, and the Tatars helped him create an opportunity to go on a killing spree.

What happened in Bianliang cannot be replicated and is the general trend. Li Yu only guided it.

On the street under the window, Wang Ziteng, who was in a state of despair a few days ago, was also picked up by his family. When Li Yu saw him, he immediately recognized him and couldn't help but take a second look.

The Wang family's cavalry was the most extravagant, as if they were going to demonstrate. The black-copper-colored carriages were covered with curtains woven from Shu brocade.

There were a lot of servants behind the carriage, about a hundred or ten people, forming a long queue. The servants also had their own carriages. In fact, the status of King Xue of Jia Shi and the four major families of Jinling had already changed.

The Jia family seems to be the most powerful, because their ancestors have the highest titles, but when it comes to Wang Ziteng's generation, the Wang family is the most powerful.

It seems that this Wang Ziteng is somewhat related to me, because he will soon take possession of Baochai, and Wang Ziteng is the biological uncle of Baochai and Xue Pan.

The emperor had just passed away, and they dared to be so arrogant. It was obviously because the emperor was young and there were people in the court.

Although he doesn't know who is supporting him, he must be on the winning side in this palace coup.

Li Yu knew Yao Guangxiao. Unexpectedly, he had lost power now and seemed to have to start over.

"Disciples of Longhu Mountain, come to pay homage to the upright Taoist priest."

When Li Yu heard this, he walked to the door. After opening the door, he saw two Taoist priests standing at the door.

They looked about forty years old, but Li Yu could tell at a glance that these two were probably over a hundred years old.

It seems that they caught up with Zhang Jiao to break the barrier between heaven and earth, and thus achieved enlightenment and their longevity was greatly increased.

At that time, Zhang Daoling had just founded the Five Pecks of Rice Sect, and these two were obviously his founding confidants. Li Yu did not dare to neglect, and said with a smile: "You two Taoist priests are very polite, let's talk in the lobby."

The three of them came to the lobby. After Li Yu sat down, he asked for a pot of tea and asked, "How did you two know that I was here?"

"Zhang Sanfeng from your sect arrived at Longhu Mountain and told us about the Taoist priest's whereabouts. Master sent us to pay him a visit."

"The Celestial Master is too polite. Compared with the Celestial Master, I am just a junior in the Taoist sect. I planned to go to Longhu Mountain to worship after finishing my business in the capital, but who knew that the two of you would come first."

The Celestial Master Tao of Longhu Mountain will be of great help to his heroes, especially the founder Zhang Daoling's personal presence, which gave him enough face. Li Yu was also happy to give them some face, so he spoke and behaved very politely.

After drinking a pot of tea, Li Yu said with a smile: "You two are here, does the Heavenly Master have any other instructions?"

It seemed that the two old Taoists belonged to the school of Qingxiu in the mountains, so they spoke very little and almost listened to Li Yu alone.

But Li Yu could tell that they had something to say and had been waiting for it to come out.

Li Yu handed it over several times, but unfortunately none of them picked it up. In the end, he just asked directly.

Sure enough, the veteran Taoists looked at each other with expressions of relief. One of them said: "Master, he wants the Taoist priest to go to Longhu Mountain. He has some things that he wants to ask in person. He said that he should come in person, but the master has a special status."

, I don’t want to step into the capital easily.”

Li Yu nodded, "When you two go back, you will report to the Heavenly Master and tell him that I will definitely go up the mountain to visit you, so that he can rest assured."

After the two old Taoists finished preaching, they wanted to leave. Li Yu understood very well that such Taoist priests who practiced hard in the mountains felt like they were suffering in the prosperous area of ​​the capital.

He despises this kind of cultivation method, but he is not opposed to being cultivated in this way, because everyone is unique and has his own way. Another person's arsenic is my honey.

Among the Zhengjing sects, there used to be an absolute supporter of this kind of pure and ascetic practice, and that was Wang Chongyang.

Later, Li Yu asked him to travel around the world and experience the joys and sorrows of the world. Finally, Wang Chongyang gave up this otherworldly way of cultivation and began to practice in the world, and suddenly broke through the bottleneck.

Li Yu saw off the two old Taoists. Just as he was about to go back to his room, he found a person standing at the door, staring straight at him.

Li Yu frowned and glanced at him. This man was young, wearing a blue gown common in the capital, with his hair tied up and a turban. He was dressed like a scholar.

Seeing Li Yu looking towards him, the young man's eyes dodge and he wanted to run away.

Li Yu chuckled and said, "You want to see me?"

The young man then raised his head and glanced left and right, looking very nervous.

Li Yu knew clearly in his heart that he had something to hide and wanted to ask for help, but he was afraid of being known. It seemed that he knew his identity.

Li Yu sent a message into the secret and said, "Go back, I will look for you tonight."

The young man's eyes lit up, he lowered his head and left in a hurry.

Li Yu moved his fingers, and a paper crane flew out from the fingertips in his sleeves. After hiding his figure, it attached to the young man's back.

Back in the room, Wu Shun was embroidering a sachet, while Qiong Ying watched with interest.

Li Yu said to Wu Shun: "You are practicing too slowly. My Qingmu Jue is unparalleled in the world, but you are still at the sixth level. It is a waste of resources."

Wu Shun was a little embarrassed and whispered: "I will work hard."

Li Yu said: "Let's do this. You go to Fengyue Baojian and let Jinghuan help you improve your cultivation. It will be treated as a retreat."

Qiong Ying said dissatisfiedly: "You don't want to take us with you again? If you don't want to take us, don't take us with you. We are playing in the capital by ourselves, why should we go to Fengyue Baojian for retreat."

When Li Yu saw that she had seen through it, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "As clever as you are, the Baojian is much bigger now and there are many fun places. When I finish my business, I will definitely take you to have fun in Daming."

"Really?" Qiongying looked at him with some doubt.

Li Yu immediately patted his chest and promised: "You lied to me as a puppy, I will take you to Longhu Mountain to play!"

Qiongying clapped her hands and said happily: "Then we have an agreement."

With a flash of white light, Li Yu took them into Fengyue Baojian, then packed up the gifts in the room and threw them in together.

I originally thought that the Ming Dynasty was very stable and nothing would go wrong, but the emperor died as soon as he came.

Nowadays, the situation is turbulent. The two factions are fighting to the death. There is no telling when the overt and covert fighting will stop. Li Yu really doesn't dare to take the two women through the market. His identity is known to so many people, which means it is not safe at all.

Li Yu did not wait until nightfall. He told the young man that nightfall was a deception.

After walking out of the restaurant, Li Yu hid his figure and followed the direction of the paper crane to find a dilapidated courtyard.

He climbed over the wall and saw that it was gloomy inside. There were a lot of bloodstains in the yard, and there were more than a dozen corpses lying around, some of them were already smelly, and flies were flying around.

In a corner of the wall, a small figure sat, with an extremely powerful Fang Tian painted halberd beside her.

This fangtian painted halberd exudes a faint crimson light, making people feel frightened at first glance. It was Lu Bu's weapon back then, and he killed countless people with him.

Under Fang Tian's halberd, it was naturally Tang Sai'er. She was meditating. Li Yu tested it and found that there was no serious injury.

This scene was too bloody. It was obviously a fight. Li Yuyi, a master of martial arts, was bold and not afraid at all. When he walked into the room, he saw a monk sitting on a futon with a dark face. He was the prime minister in black of the Ming Dynasty.

Daoyan monk Yao Guangxiao.

Li Yu was greatly surprised. Daoyan, who had always had a bright eye, was now very sick and unable to cheer up.

After Li Yu got closer, he whispered: "Master, how did you achieve this famous painting?"

In the capital, someone was able to beat Dao Yan like this. It seems that in a short period of time, the winner of this power struggle has been decided.

Dao Yan heard Li Yu's voice but didn't see him. He smiled bitterly and said, "The poor monk has lost."

With a move of his fingers, Li Yu began to run the water-character formula to help him heal his injuries, while saying: "Master, you are too confident and don't know how terrible the human heart is."

Dao Yan kept his spirits up and said, "Thank you so much, Master, for your help."

Li Yu immediately said: "I just helped you heal your wounds. I didn't even show my face. Don't say anything about helping me. This is our personal relationship. In the end, I still have to rely on them to support me."

Dao Yan smiled and said: "These people are short-sighted, only care about petty profits, and neglect the country. Do you think they will help you?"

“After all, I have to give it a try.”

Dao Yan said: "Don't worry, as long as you and I join forces to eradicate them all, next year I will personally lead the princes and princesses of the Ming Dynasty to Bianliang to stand up for you."

Li Yu laughed and said: "Master, you'd better heal your wounds first. Pindao is just an ordinary Taoist priest. He doesn't have that much ability, nor does he have the ambition to stage a coup in Yanjing."

"Didn't you do a great job in Bianliang? To be honest, what you did in Bianliang was the most wonderful coup I have ever seen."

Li Yu didn't fall for the trick at all. He didn't have the energy or strength to spend time with these officials in the Ming Dynasty.

You know, even in Jinling, there has been collusion between officials and businessmen and liaisons with foreigners.

The official administration of the Ming Dynasty was also bad to a certain extent. If you go against these civil servants and gentry interest groups yourself, you are going against the entire Ming Dynasty.

It is not impossible to be an enemy of a country, but you must have similar bargaining chips. I have no interests in the Ming Dynasty, I am just here to discuss cooperation.

No matter who is in power in the Ming Dynasty, they will not easily reject themselves, because supporting themselves is good for them.

In this case, why bother following the defeated Yao Guangxiao, which is a thankless task. Yao Guangxiao succeeded in making a comeback, so he can talk to him.

Li Yu's water-character technique was really easy to use. After a while, Dao Yan's face regained some color.

Li Yu helped him repair his meridians, but he was beaten so hard that his meridians were disordered and ruptured in several places.

During the day, the young man who went to the restaurant to find him came over with a bowl of medicine and said: "Master, take the medicine."

Yao Guangxiao waved his hand and signaled him to leave. The young man put the medicine in front of him and slowly turned back to collect the body.

Li Yu said: "Speaking of which, who is so capable that he can beat the master like this?"

"You know him too." Dao Yan said with some gloating.

Li Yu was talking eloquently just now, but he never uttered a word to argue because he knew that Li Yu would definitely help him.

Finally, Li Yu asked, and Dao Yan smiled and said, "That's the monk we beat away. His brother was killed by you. Do you think he will help you?"

"puff!"

Li Yu almost choked and asked in disbelief: "You mean it's the scabby monk?"

"That's right."

Li Yu secretly thought that he was unlucky. He came back and successfully seized power in the Ming Dynasty.

"Since ancient times, there has been no coexistence between good and evil. Don't worry, Master. I, Li Yu, will definitely help you!"

The scabby old bald donkey has a deep hatred for me. It would be weird if he would cooperate with me.

Let alone cooperation, he will definitely become his enemy. If he really controls the Ming Dynasty, he will not be safe in Bianliang.

It is not impossible for this old thief to encourage the Ming Dynasty to attack the Song Dynasty.

Li Yu sat on the ground, and his figure slowly appeared. Dao Yan looked at him and smiled.

"Don't be too depressed. I told you that if we join forces, they are just a bunch of chickens and dogs. If we can kill his brother, we can kill him!"
