Lihuang leaned on the soft couch, his old face full of exhaustion.
"Your Majesty, the medicine is here!"
Eunuch Lu came forward with a bowl of medicinal soup and said softly.
Lihuang suppressed the itching sensation in his throat, took the medicinal soup and drank it in one gulp.
The bitter medicinal soup immediately made his tired body feel warm when he entered his mouth. At the same time, the itching in his throat was relieved a lot.
Passing the bowl to Eunuch Lu, Emperor Li pulled the blanket around him and said softly: "Is there anything going on in the court?"
"Your Majesty, everything is fine in the court and nothing major happened!"
Eunuch Lu replied.
"Where is the prince?"
Emperor Li took a deep breath and asked.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been in a coma for three days. Although he has taken the Shengling Pill, but..." Eunuch Lu said in a low voice. He did not finish the rest of the words, but Emperor Li already understood.
"Hey~~"
"Did the Imperial Hospital tell you how long the prince will have?" Emperor Li narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a bleak voice.
Eunuch Lu lowered his head, "Mr. Pang said that the prince may not be able to survive this winter."
Li Huang closed his eyes slightly and leaned on the soft couch.
For a moment, the entire study became silent.
Eunuch Lu held his breath, not even daring to take a breath.
a long time.
Only then did Lihuang ask: "Have you found out the origin of Ye Gucheng?"
Only then did Eunuch Lu exhale and said, "I found out a little bit, but I didn't find out completely."
"According to the information reported by the Imperial City Secretary, Ye Gucheng appeared in Liangzhou four months ago, and then stayed in Liangzhou for nearly two months before going to Tianzhou."
"Although there are rumors that Ye Gucheng is from Nanhai, he has not been found to have any involvement with Nanhai."
"What do you mean?" Emperor Li frowned slightly.
Eunuch Lu whispered: "This person's origin is unknown!"
Emperor Li opened his eyes, raised his body, and asked, "Is it related to Prince Xin'an?"
"His Royal Highness the County Prince met Ye Gucheng only after Ye Gucheng went to Tianzhou City. There was no connection between them before," Lu Gong said.
"What about his strength?"
"She should have a third level of cultivation."
Emperor Li frowned.
Such a powerful but unknown person is not a good thing for Dali.
Of course, it's not a big deal.
As the Emperor of Dali, he is not afraid of an innate warrior who has mastered the third level.
He was just considering whether there were other involvements behind Ye Gucheng.
"Continue to investigate, and tell Li Xun to ask him to meet Ye Gucheng." Li Huang said.
"Your Majesty, do you want to invite Ye Gucheng to Qingfu Mountain?" Eunuch Lu asked.
Emperor Li lay down and said, "Just let Li Xun make the decision on his own."
"Here!"
…
Tianzhou City.
Ye Gucheng rode a white horse slowly to the city gate.
White clothes and white horses, flawless and unsullied.
His cold and handsome expression made everyone around him avoid him.
But there was one person who was always following him, and that was Situ Qianfeng.
After leaving the Lishan Sword Sect, Situ Qianfeng caught up with Ye Gucheng again without being stopped by Yan Bo, and followed Ye Gucheng all the way to Tianzhou City.
Uncle Yan was helpless. He wanted Situ Qianfeng to stay away from Ye Gucheng, but Situ Qianfeng was determined to follow Ye Gucheng, no matter how he tried to persuade him.
As for why Situ Qianfeng wanted to follow Ye Gucheng, it was because he wanted to become Ye Gucheng's disciple.
It's a pity that Ye Gucheng has no intention of accepting disciples.
"Senior Ye, have you met Prince Xin'an?"
Outside the city gate, Situ Qianfeng followed Ye Gucheng and asked.
"Seen it!"
"Then what kind of person is Prince Xin'an?"
"I don't understand!"
"Didn't you meet him?"
Ye Gucheng raised his head and glanced at him, then drove his horse into the city gate.
Along the way, he had gotten to know Situ Qianfeng's character very well.
A talkative one.
As long as you talk to him, he will talk non-stop.
Even if you don't talk to him, he will talk non-stop around you.
As soon as the two entered the city, they heard many people talking about Wanfu Temple in the streets.
"Wanfuji Temple actually does this kind of thing?"
"Aren't they monks? Shouldn't they abide by the rules and regulations?"
"It's strange that a group of monks actually rebelled!"
Situ Qianfeng couldn't help but feel a little confused when he heard those rumors.
But neither Ye Gucheng nor Yan Bo explained anything to him.
…
Inside the Qingsi Garden.
Qin Wei was wearing fur clothes and walking in the withered garden.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and the originally exquisite and beautiful garden has turned into a withered yellow color. Except for a group of gray sparrows playing in the garden, there is almost no life at all.
"Your Highness, the news has spread throughout Tianzhou!" Li Ru followed Qin Wei and said softly.
Qin Wei nodded gently.
He looked at the two playing sparrows with a faint smile on his lips.
The rumors about Wanfu Temple were spread by the Imperial City Secretary.
The purpose is to ruin the reputation of Manpukuji Temple.
Wanfu Temple is not the Bloody Clothes Tower. The Bloody Clothes Tower is an evil force in the world. It can be said that it has a notorious reputation. Therefore, there is no need to worry about reputation issues in order to destroy the Bloody Clothes Tower.
But although Manpukuji also did some evil things, on the surface he was an upright man from a well-known family.
What those bald donkeys like most is to accuse others from the commanding heights of Taoism, and then secretly do things even more heinous than bandits.
Therefore, if you want to destroy it, you must first create a bad reputation.
It doesn't matter whether those rumors are serious or not, it doesn't matter if those Jianghu sects understand that this is Zhenwu Si's conspiracy.
As the saying goes, three people make a tiger.
As long as there are enough rumors, Manpukuji Temple's reputation for benevolence will disappear like smoke.
"Is there any movement over at Manpukuji Temple?"
"No!"
"These monks are really calm!" Qin Wei said with a smile.
"Perhaps they have other sources of support!" Li Ru said with a straight look.
"What reliance?" Qin Wei was a little surprised.
Li Rudao: "According to the information provided by the Imperial City Division, Wanfu Temple seems to have some connection with the East Palace."
"Donggong!"
Qin Wei was a little stunned.
He really didn't know about this.
"The Imperial City Division can't confirm it either. I just analyzed it from the information they provided." Li Ru said.
"How was it analyzed?" Qin Wei asked.
Li Ru said softly: "Nanyuan Chamber of Commerce!"
"Although Wanfu Temple has no direct connection with Nanyuan Chamber of Commerce, many industries under Wanfu Temple do business with Nanyuan Chamber of Commerce, and Wanfu Temple suffers from these business transactions."
"To put it simply, Wanfu Temple has been sending money to Nanyuan Chamber of Commerce."
Qin Wei's eyes flashed.
Manfuji Temple is actually involved with the East Palace!
This was really beyond his expectation.
Nanyuan Chamber of Commerce is Donggong's private industry, which is not a secret in Kyoto.
"The Nanyuan Chamber of Commerce should be run by Qin Jun!"
"That's right, Qin Jun had already taken over the Nanyuan Chamber of Commerce as early as eight years ago!" Li Ru said.
Qin Wei pinched his chin and began to think deeply.
It is actually not an accident that the Nanyuan Chamber of Commerce has a connection with Wanfu Temple.
Almost all the princes and nobles in Kyoto are involved with the Jianghu forces, but these involvements are deep or shallow.
Therefore, Qin Wei considered how deeply involved the East Palace was with Wanfu Temple.
But thinking about it carefully, Qin Wei felt that the involvement between Wanfu Temple and the East Palace should be limited to Qin Jun.
The reason why I have such an idea is because of the prince.
Qin Changfu's character is kind-hearted, gentle, and relaxed in his work. If he can ascend the throne, he will definitely be a benevolent king.
At least the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty recognized him very much.
Such a person would naturally not make money among the people. In fact, the original purpose of the Nanyuan Chamber of Commerce was to help some poor people in Kyoto.
Besides, as the prince, Qin Changfu also disdained to collude with Wanfu Temple.
On the contrary, it is possible for Qin Jun.
"I didn't expect Qin Jun to actually reach out to Tianzhou!" Qin Wei said softly.
"Then we still have to act according to the plan?" Li Ru asked.
"certainly!"
"Qin Jun is Qin Jun, not the prince!" Qin Wei said indifferently.
If it were the prince, he might have to take it into consideration a little bit, but if it was just Qin Jun, Qin Wei wouldn't care at all.
While the two were talking, Xiao Shunzi came up and said, "Your Highness, people from all the major sects are here!"
Qin Wei looked up at the sky and said, "It's almost done. Let's go there."
Today is the day when he confer officials to various major sects.
At this time, the main hall of Qingsi Garden was already filled with masters from various major sects.
Cheng Mo Shen, Yu Zheng, Wen Su, Xuan Huang, Qian Shou, etc. were all present.
At the same time, Tie Shou, Yuwen Chengdu, Huoyun Evil God, Qi Lin and others were also there.
Fire Cloud Evil God stood outside the door, his eyes constantly scanning the people in the hall.
After only a few days of calm, he couldn't hold it in any longer.
I want to fight with someone.
And with so many masters in front of him, it made him feel itchy.
"Guys, why don't we have a fight!"
As soon as these words came out, the main hall fell into silence.
fight!
Fight now!
Fight in Qingsi Garden!
My brain is flooded!
Everyone looked at Huoyun Evil God with strange expressions.
Although they have all heard of Fire Cloud Evil God, this is the first time for most of them to deal with Fire Cloud Evil God.
"Sect Master Cheng~!" Fire Cloud Evil God is eyeing Cheng Mo Shen again. They had a fight in Wolong Ridge.
Fire Cloud Evil God still recognized Cheng Moshen's strength. Although it was not as good as him, it still made him enjoy the fight.
"Ahem, Brother Huoyun is extraordinary in strength and I am no match for you, so let's forget it!" Cheng Moshen said with some embarrassment.
Today is the day when Qin Wei confer officers on them. If they fight at this time, wouldn't they be looking for embarrassment?
"Anyway, His Highness hasn't come yet, let's relieve our boredom first!" Fire Cloud Evil God said with a smile.
"How about you all come together to beat me! I'm very resistant to beatings!"
"..."
Everyone was speechless for a while.
We don't know whether you can resist the beating, but we know that you must be seriously ill.
"You said you were very resistant to being beaten!"
At this moment, Qin Wei walked slowly in fur clothes.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and stared straight at Fire Cloud Evil God.
He knows best what kind of temper Huoyun Evil God has.
This guy is really sick and mentally ill.
Seeing Qin Wei coming, everyone quickly bowed and said: "Greetings to Your Highness!"
"Excuse me!"
Qin Wei raised his hand and said, but his eyes were always looking at Fire Cloud Evil God.
"Your Highness!"
Fire Cloud Evil God was a little embarrassed and even a little embarrassed when Qin Wei saw him.
"It's not easy to get beaten. Senior Mo Yan, give him a good beating!"
Qin Wei said calmly.
Mo Yan walked out from behind a pillar not far away and looked at Qin Wei.
Do you really want to fight?
Although he didn't speak, his expression was obviously confirming with Qin Wei.
"Just don't beat him to death!"
Qin Weidao.
Fire Cloud Evil God is a typical example of not having sex for three days!
Don't you want to fight?
Then let you fight until you have enough!
After receiving confirmation from Qin Wei, Mo Yan's thin body instantly disappeared from the same place, and the next moment it appeared next to Huoyun Evil God.
The pupils of Fire Cloud Evil God's eyes suddenly shrank, and he quickly retreated and dodged.
Bang~~
A fist as big as a casserole landed on his head.
Then he flew out completely.
But before he could land on the ground, Mo Yan appeared next to him again, raising his leg and kicking him again.
Bang bang bang~~
The fists and kicks were added together, causing a series of muffled sounds.
Within a moment, Huoyun Evil God was lying on the ground with a bruised nose and a swollen face.
Fire Cloud Evil God is not weak in strength, but compared to Mo Yan, he is not even a bit inferior.
"Your Highness, I admit defeat!"
Fire Cloud Evil God said with a sad face.
Qin Wei glanced at him.
Fire Cloud Evil God is right when he says something, he is indeed very resistant to beatings.
"If you want to fight in the future, you can approach Senior Mo Yan. I believe Senior Mo Yan will be willing to fight with you."
"No fight, no fight!" Fire Cloud Evil God got up from the ground and said.
This is not a fight, this is clearly looking for abuse.
When Qin Wei saw him surrendering, a smile flashed in his eyes.
Afterwards, he turned around and walked into the main hall and sat on the main seat.
He looked at the people in the hall with flat eyes.
Everyone in the hall lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him.
Fire Cloud Evil God indeed deserves a beating, but the reason why he is punishing Fire Cloud Evil God at this time is not because Qin Wei is angry with him.
If Qin Wei is angry, he can deal with Fire Cloud Evil God at any time. There is no need to do it in front of so many people.
Qin Wei asked Mo Yan to beat Huoyun Evil God violently just to give the group of martial arts masters in front of him a show of strength.
