When the sky was bright, Jiang Li's body shape changed, turning into light and shadow, flying out from the entanglement of pink legs and jade arms, and fell outside the bed.
He first used Xiantian Qi to purify his body, then looked at the dressing mirror in Tianxuan's room and nodded with satisfaction.
"I was so benefited by wine and sex that my energy was so high."
Jiang Li's face in the mirror looked much better than before. This was because the injuries in his body had improved due to dual cultivation, and the Eight-nine Mysterious Skills had even improved. As soon as he gained the understanding of the Mysterious Skills contained in the Dao Fruit,
With two women, Tianxuan and Gongsun Qingyue, helping me, it would be strange if I didn't make progress.
"Come again tonight." Jiang Li said quite satisfied.
"It's okay to be a teacher, but I'm afraid Qingyue won't be able to do it."
There was teasing laughter from the bed, but Tianxuan was lying on her side, supporting her head with one hand and talking with a smile.
She took most of the firepower last night. As for Gongsun Qingyue, it can only be said that she was far behind and is still resting now.
Hearing Tianxuan's teasing, Gongsun Qingyue opened his eyes and glanced at her. He didn't seem too tired to wake up, but he was too lazy to talk.
Logically speaking, even if his strength is not as good as Jiang Li's, Gongsun Qingyue shouldn't be so exhausted. However, with Jiang Li's dual cultivation, the spirit, energy and spirit are both at the same time. Even at the fifth level, it is really difficult to conquer.
Moreover, dual cultivation has also brought considerable benefits. Now the true energy in her body is rushing like the tide of a river. Even if her energy is restored, she must first transfer the true energy.
"That's it, the sister who also wants to be a teacher?" Tianxuan saw this and continued to tease.
Although Gongsun Qingyue was powerless, she was not willing to be outdone. She puffed out her chest, indicating that big breasts meant she was powerful.
This kind of disobedient act made Tianxuan grind his teeth. Ever since Pad's ambition was exposed, this villain has been focusing on this place to show his advantage. He really does not have the responsibility that Tianxuan's disciples should have at all, let alone
Be filial.
"You can be proud of this."
After Tianxuan said this, she also stood up, letting her hair fall down to her waist, and walked to the clothes scattered on the ground.
Red and moon-white ones are everywhere, and obvious signs of tearing can also be seen.
Because the outer robe is a heavenly robe or a cloud robe, it is not afraid of damage, but the inner robe is not in good condition.
Tianxuan wanted to put on the palace skirt first, but as soon as she moved, something liquid would drip down, down her ankles, and accidentally drip onto the palace skirt.
This made her frown. After cleaning it with her true energy, she stopped wearing clothes. She simply walked to Jiang Li and took out a set of scarlet robes out of thin air.
"Young Qingyue is so unlucky. She's so exhausted that she still has to take care of me. Today you go alone to meet the old guys in the court."
Tianxuan said as she helped Jiang Li put on complicated robes.
The Battle of Liangzhou pacified the Taiping Sect rebels and brought temporary stability to the Great Zhou Dynasty. Now it is time to discuss the merits. Therefore, even if he still wanted to come for three days and three nights, Jiang Li had to go today.
Take a walk around the court and let the princes see the latest powerful ministers.
As for why Tianxuan didn't go, part of the reason was to take care of Gongsun Qingyue, and part of it was to let Jiang Li also have some say in the Gongsun family. This time, it was not just the head of the Jiang family who went to court.
He is also the son-in-law of the future head of the Gongsun family, who can speak on behalf of the Gongsun family.
Thinking of this, Tianxuan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
The word "future" is really cheap for Qingyue.
"Peace has been established, and the Ji family is probably thinking of letting the eldest princess return to power, and even singled out the prince."
Jiang Li stretched out his hand, enjoying Tianxuan's help, while shaking his head and sighing: "Although there is a Buddhist kingdom after the Taiping Sect, this short-term peace is enough to make them ready to move. There is also Tu Bo, who practices the "Yin Fu Jing"
"After that, the more my strength increases, the greater my character changes. In the past, I might have tolerated it, but now it is absolutely impossible."
"Tianjun is really impeccable in his actions. Even if he temporarily hides behind the scenes, he will not allow us to be safe."
Tu Bo is now like those practitioners whose skills have suddenly increased dramatically, and their self-confidence has also skyrocketed. Under the influence of the "Yin Fu Jing", Tu Bo's mood has become difficult to control, and nothing he does is surprising.
Jiang Li, a powerful official, has just been released, so he is probably about to have a run-in with the royal family.
This time, Jiang's reputation as a wild and rebellious person really cannot be shaken off.
"But it's not difficult for you to accept the move, isn't it?" Tianxuan said with a smile.
This is the disciple she taught with her own hands, how could she be afraid of such tricks?
Ru Shui's eyes showed both confidence in Jiang Li and arrogance in his own abilities.
Jiang Li felt that he was able to sleep in Tianxuan's bed, maybe partly because she taught him how to do it.
Jiang Li did not deny Tianxuan's words. He put his arms around his slim waist and slid his palms, "As the saying goes, if the master has something to do, the disciple will do his best. Since the master has given the order, how can I refuse? However, after the apprentice has finished the errand, the master will do the same."
You must be rewarded, this is a normal master-disciple relationship."
"My whole being is yours, what else do you want?" Tianxuan couldn't help laughing and scolding.
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly tensed up and became stiff all over.
"There...you——"
Tianxuan's eyes were covered with mist, and she cursed again: "You traitor!"

Royal Palace.
The Ziwei Palace that was destroyed in the past has been rebuilt. Thanks to the help of magic, although it did not take long, it was not ambiguous at all. It can be said that the original Ziwei Palace was perfectly restored.
When the hour came, the sky was already bright, and the officials from the early morning court also arrived one by one.
The morning dynasty of the Great Zhou Dynasty is not like Jiang Li's previous life, where he went out before dawn. The world of spiritual practice naturally has the convenience of practice, which can reduce some unnecessary steps. But even in the Great Zhou Dynasty, around Chen time, the morning dynasty is basically
At the end of the day, all the officials returned to their posts to fish and work.
But today, at Chen time, all the officials were still standing there without saying a word.
Because there are still two key people who are not present.
——The head of the Gongsun family, and the new Sikong.
Without these two people, the morning meeting really can't start.
Judging from the current situation, it seems that the new Sikong wants to give him power.
It's just that this power has been too long.
The eldest princess, who was sitting next to the dragon chair, was getting a little impatient with the waiting. She couldn't help but murmur in her heart: 'Could it be that the master and disciple really got involved together?'
Even though the eldest princess nodded her head as the original lead, the eldest princess actually didn't believe it if her old enemy started to eat young grass. After all, that was Tianxuan.
Thinking of this, the eldest princess couldn't help but become curious and wanted to determine where Tianxuan and Jiang Li had gone.
Time passed slowly while waiting, and at the quarter of the hour, shouts rang out from outside the hall.
"Jiang Sikong is here."
He was not called by his name, but by his position. This is a special treatment that praises the name without paying homage. Even the emperor would only call him "Sikong" instead of "Jiang Li". When the imperial power was in the upper hand
, this is the emperor’s preferential treatment for his ministers.
And when the imperial power declined, the emperor could no longer call his ministers by their first names, and the reputation of the ministers caught up with the emperor's to a certain extent.
Therefore, basically, praising names but not paying homage to them is inseparable from powerful ministers.
If you don't follow the rules when entering court, you can walk in stride without deliberately controlling your pace to show respect.
In front of the Ziwei Palace, Jiang Li was dressed in Jiuzhang's clothes, with a long sword on his waist, striding forward. The aura of a dragon and a tiger seemed to herald the arrival of a new era, and all the officials couldn't help but change their expressions.
.
The wind direction in the court seems to be changing.
Even King You and Meng Jun, who were sitting at the head of the palace, were watching the figure entering the palace, their eyes especially lingering on Jiang Li's robe for a long time.
The scarlet robe has nine chapters on it, which represents the title of king and three dukes, but it is different from ordinary royal robes.
According to the system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the emperor's clothes were decorated with twelve chapters, including the sun, moon, stars, mountains, dragons, Zongyi, Huazhong, algae, fire, rice, embroidery, and postscript; Wang Jue,
San Gong followed with nine chapters of Shan Long, and Jiu Qing followed with seven chapters of Hua Chong.
The difference between the emperor and the king lies in the three chapters of sun, moon and stars.
However, in the nine chapters of Jiang Li's robe, Chinese insects and rice noodles have been replaced by the sun and the moon. This represents the status of the head of the Jiang family and the power to share the power of the emperor.
No one in the royal family can wear this uniform.
Everyone knows the meaning of this nine-piece uniform, and Jiang Lifu wore this uniform as soon as he officially entered the court, which seems to represent a certain intention.
Under the gaze of everyone, Jiang Li strode to the head of the palace, then turned around and looked around at the officials, saying with a smile: "Everyone, I've been waiting for a long time. The master is in ill health. I want to say something before I leave.
It is her wish that Gu Lai take over the power of the head of the Gongsun family."
As soon as these words came out, King You immediately frowned.
The head of the Jiang family enjoys the title of king, so there is absolutely no problem in calling him a lonely person. However, there is no problem in returning to the family. The heads of the Jiang family in the past dynasties will still avoid the taboo a little, mainly using official positions or other self-proclaimed names instead of being called a lonely person.
Most of the time, this kind of self-identification is reserved exclusively for the kings of the Ji family.
There is also the matter of Tianxuan asking Jiang Li to exercise his power...
This posture of turning the elbows outward is impossible to act.
King You couldn't even figure out what kind of ecstasy soup Jiang Li poured into Tianxuan to make her trust this Jiang family child so much.
For a moment, King You's heart was filled with ups and downs, and his face became gloomy.
As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the palace quickly became tense, and a storm was about to come.
"Since the head of the Gongsun family expressed it this way, then we will follow the wishes of the head of the Gongsun family."
When the eldest princess saw the change in the atmosphere, she immediately spoke to support Jiang Li and said at the same time: "Come here, give me a seat."
Someone immediately moved a chair to the left and right and moved it to the head of the hall, right under King You.
Then, the eldest princess said: "Liangzhou has been settled, and the Taiping Sect has finally been destroyed. Sikong deserves the most credit for this. What do you think Sikong should be rewarded for?"
"not busy."
After the eldest princess finished speaking, King You immediately continued: "I thought there was one more thing that needed to be decided quickly before we can decide on Jiang Sikong's merits."
He stood up, faced the eldest princess, and said loudly: "When the emperor was assassinated, he moved to Nanyuan to recuperate, and then the Taiping thieves made trouble, and the court was shaken. Fortunately, the eldest princess was ordered to supervise the country and take charge of the court, and we were able to tide over the difficulties.
Now that the rebels have been determined, I think I should welcome the Emperor back to the palace and resume control of the court."
The words were said so loudly that the whole hall fell into silence.
Immediately afterwards, several courtiers came out, bowed for a long time, and said: "I second the proposal."
Officials from the Second Prince's group all agreed, saying that now that the chaos had been settled, it was time to welcome the Emperor back to the palace.
And if the emperor returns to the palace, the eldest princess will of course have to return the throne.
As for whether the emperor can regain control of the government after returning to the palace, that is a matter for later, and we will talk about it later. Anyway, let the eldest princess put down her power to oversee the country first.
King You said, and asked the two three princes present: "Master Meng, Jiang Sikong, what do you think? The eldest princess is a woman, so there is something wrong after all. In the past few days, there have been a lot of rumors inside and outside the divine capital.
It's said that Si Chen is a hen, so I thought I should be careful. Besides, the eldest prince-in-law..."
The meaning of King You's words is not yet complete, but the meaning can no longer be obvious.
It's easy to say that Henji Sichen is just a rumor, but it's hard to explain Fengmanlou's side.
The Ji family's son-in-law has been exposed as a member of the Feng family, and has a relationship with the Great Lord of the Demon God Sect, which has become a major weakness of the eldest princess. The Great Lord is the person who assassinated the Emperor, and anyone who has a relationship with him is not clean.
, even if he directly killed the Dragon King’s son-in-law now, it wouldn’t be too much.
Jiang Li also figured it out. The Yin Lu Division had not taken any action before, but they just wanted to use it now.
In times of crisis, he doesn't say anything when he needs someone to support him, but when he gets through the crisis, he starts to turn over his account again. How can it be possible to make Zhou great again by being with such an insect?
But Jiang Li also had to admit that this was a normal official operation, shameless but effective.
Taking advantage of Feng Manlou's flaw, even if the eldest princess wanted to object at this time, she would not be able to speak out. King You's move immediately abolished the eldest princess's right to speak.
'such a pity······'
A hint of ridicule flashed through Jiang Li's heart, and he clapped his hands and said, "King You's words are very kind. Since the eldest consort has such a relationship with the great lord, we have to be cautious. In terms of emotion and reason, the eldest princess should also avoid suspicion."
King You: "?"
He originally wanted to ask Meng Jun to speak to see what the eldest prince meant. After all, the Meng family had backstabbed once before. Unexpectedly, Meng Jun did not speak. Instead, Jiang Li agreed and directly
He stabbed the eldest princess in the back.
King You thought about what Jiang Li meant by his words. He didn't think that this young boy from the Jiang family would be so kind to help him.
The next moment, King You didn't need to think too much, Jiang Li continued: "In Yigu's opinion, it is better for the eldest princess to avoid suspicion and return to power. However, the emperor's injury has not improved yet, and we cannot do unnecessary things to avoid making things worse. The only way is
, is to select a suitable candidate to oversee the country as regent."
"This person should have great righteousness and be able to take charge of the government."
"This person should have great achievements and be able to convince people's hearts."
"This person must be of great virtue and can make the eldest princess, the head of the Gongsun family and all the princes recognize the power of regent."
As King You listened, he felt that something was wrong.
Could it be that the person Jiang Li was talking about was himself?
Ji and Jiang share the world, and the first heir under the emperor is naturally the prince. However, the prince is only chosen when the emperor is about to die. The prince has not been decided, and the next person with righteousness is not the prince, but the head of the Jiang family.
Jiang Li had just pacified the Taiping Sect, and in terms of great achievements, it was naturally him.
As for the so-called great virtue, it actually depends on whether the support is sufficient. Sufficient strength means sufficient virtue. The virtues of the eldest princess, Gongsun family, and Taixue, and Jiang Li are really not shallow.
Thinking of this, King You couldn't help but curse in his heart:
'Wolf ambition! What a wolf ambition! What the uncle said is right, the Jiang family is indeed rebellious by nature, and they are all rebellious officials and traitors.'
