"His Majesty the Emperor has a teacher-student relationship with a temple priest" has naturally become the biggest gossip in the secret history of Youshuang Palace. Although the scope of the spread is very small, it is vividly told, with noses and eyes - in fact, this cannot be blamed on others, who
Did you ask Cohen to take the candidate Cardinal to the harem to talk? This is irrefutable evidence!
Even the imperial concubines found it interesting, so they came together - seeing the imperial concubines arriving, the alternate cardinal priest who had just recovered his strength immediately stood up, paid homage to the "Master's Wife" and called himself "Little Disciple".
Make the scene lively.
"You are so handsome. It is indeed not easy to be a cardinal at this age." Without Cohen's explicit instructions, the princesses were reluctant to agree. Feilin smiled and said: "Your Majesty, about that
Is the legend true?"
"Don't listen to people's nonsense." Cohen smiled bitterly, pointed to the candidate cardinal priest and replied: "This guy's name is Nizam. I have only met him once before and said a few words. Despite the cheerful voice in his mouth, in fact, he is very interested in me.
Say, it’s just a strange acquaintance.”
"Yes, yes, the master is a king who does great things. He manages everything every day and expands his grand plans. But he can still remember seeing and talking to the disciple. This is really a great blessing for the disciple..."
"Your mother, what does this young master's good memory have to do with your blessing!" Cohen choked on a sip of wine: "Sit down!"
"Yes, yes, master, please forgive me for being rude." Nizan put half of his butt on the side of the chair in fear, without stopping to speak: "Since receiving the master's four-character mantra, the disciple has begun to implement it.
I didn’t expect that I would eat all over the place in the unfathomable temple, with no disadvantages... The disciple is thinking about the master all the time, and can listen to the teachings again..."
"Is it really that powerful?" After listening to Nizam's "eloquent" confession, Dill couldn't stop laughing: "Your Majesty, I want to hear what exactly you said to this priest? Look at this person.
The child is being harmed, and he can’t even speak."
"How can I harm him? When I go to Paradise Island that day, I have to take a bath first, but this bastard wants to see with his big eyes. There are so many things on my young master, can I show them? Of course I have to take care of him first!"
When talking about this, Cohen became depressed: "After that, I saw that this bastard was very pitiful, so I just said something to him casually... I didn't expect that this bastard would give me a ride today!"
It has to be said that Nizam is a smart bastard. He understood the meaning of Dill's words and knew that the imperial concubines did not like his flattery, so he obediently shut up.
Wen Sili couldn't bear to see this, so she asked: "I'm very curious, what did His Majesty say to you that day? It's just four words, and it can actually help your career."
"Master's words are every word." Nizam's face was full of divine brilliance: "These four words are - deceive! Up! Conceal! Down!"
After smiling, the fourth concubine was silent. Instead, Cohen, who was sitting in the main seat, said: "What does this mean? It's you. Weren't you quite old at that time? How come you can live back now?"
"Master Mingjian, the disciples at that time had no hope of success, so they were depressed and ill. They looked like people in their thirties when they were less than twenty years old." Nizam replied respectfully: "But after receiving the master's teachings, in a few years
, the disciple started from the patrol service and rose up step by step, with more and more power in his hands. Not only could he show his ambitions, but he would also receive a lot of filial piety... The disciples ate many things that the emperors of various countries could not enjoy, so the disciples did not know how much they ate.
…So it returned to its original appearance.”
"I see." Kelly said angrily, "Even if you could deceive others, you wouldn't be promoted so quickly, would you?"
"Princess Mingjian, after the disciples enter the temple, they have gradually learned to observe words and emotions and figure out people's hearts. This is the life-saving skill of a priest. But the master's guidance is the key to promotion, especially in recent years, because the Sibia Empire
Regarding the matter, the high-level priests of the temple are constantly changing, so the disciples have more opportunities. This is another grace of the master."
"Okay." Cohen didn't want to waste time on this kind of thing: "Didn't you say there is an oracle?"
"Yes." Nizam took out the scroll, dusted it off vigorously, and then handed it to Cohen with both hands: "Master, please read it."
For the priest of the temple, this kind of behavior is really audacious. Since he is a messenger, of course he has to make the listeners kneel down and then read the contents of the oracle loudly. Unexpectedly, the other person is even more bold.
Neither bothered to pick up.
"Looking at things is tiring, reading."
They deceive the superiors and deceive the inferiors, they are exactly the same, they are really two masters and disciples!
"Yes." Nizam opened the scroll, with a natural expression on his face, without any fluctuations: "Master, ladies and gentlemen, there are several things mentioned here. The first one is about the Temple of Light... um...
It seems that the superiors were not satisfied with the expulsion from the Temple of Light. They praised Master for your boldness and willfulness. Then, they decided to give these expelled priests the name of 'returning to the academy to practice'. This was just a fig leaf, and they also asked Master.
Withdraw the expulsion order and start repairing the temples in various places. The construction period will be three years. After three years, the Paradise Island Temple will send another group of priests to return."
"It's worth it for the price, tsk tsk." Cohen ate the fruit absentmindedly: "Go on!"
"The second thing is that the superiors have received a secret report, revealing that a large number of dragons have appeared in the Sibia army. The superiors want you to give a reasonable explanation, master..." When Nizam told this news, his words were like
Buying pork in the market is just as casual: "The third thing is that the superiors think that Sibiya's army is overstretched, and they want the master to reduce the army to appease the people... Everything else is nonsense."
"Yeah, not bad." Cohen spat out the core in one gulp and glanced at Nizam: "You asked for this job, right?"
"Master Mingjian, no one in the temple dares to come to the Sibia Empire to convey the oracle." Nizam replied with a lowered hand: "But the disciple feels that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as he enters the palace and sees the master, the disciple will definitely get rid of it.
The word "candidate."
"You have screamed so many times. Wouldn't it be unkind if I didn't give you a chance?" Cohen smiled slightly: "Now, I will give you a chance to tell the truth."
"Master, forgive me. In fact, this disciple not only wants to be promoted, but also wants to be the high priest of the Sibia Empire in the future!" Nizam quickly knelt down on one knee: "The Sibia Empire expelled all priests, although it proposed to establish another
A channel to communicate with the above, but it can only be filled by priests. As long as the disciple can complete the mission this time, this position will naturally not be available to anyone else! Everyone in the temple is competing against each other. The disciple looks good on the surface, but in fact he is alive at any time.
If you are worried about me, please have mercy on me, Master, and let me hide in Sibia!"
"Although Sibia is good." Cohen looked at the sky, unmoved: "But not everyone can stay."
"Disciple understands." Nizam knelt on the ground and said, "Master, please test me!"
"The royal concubines are here. For their sake, I will give you this opportunity." Cohen said softly: "I will leave it to you to take care of the matters on this scroll. If you need to check the information, please contact the four emperors."
Concubine, just ask for advice."
"Yes!" Nizam stood up, full of energy: "Disciple, do it now!"
A quarter of an hour later, Nizam, with a majestic and sacred expression, appeared in front of his assistant. At this time, he was already wearing a Sibiya Royal Academician's uniform, with a three-color ribbon hanging diagonally on his shoulders. Looking at this attire, he clearly knew
He completed his mission and was awarded a secular official position by Emperor Sibia.
After a brief period of mental blankness, Liushenwuzhu's assistant immediately fell into admiration. Going to Sbia to convey the oracle sounds nice, but in fact it is an impossible task. If it is not done well, it will lead to death on both sides. The assistant is just because he offended others.
Too many, so they were framed and forced into it. Now that the mission has been accomplished, it can be said that I have recovered a small life. How can I not be ecstatic?
For others, this matter was full of suspicion. It only took more than an hour from Nizam's entry into the palace to his exit, but this series of changes was unexpected. Except for Cohen, even everyone
No one can figure out the context.
"Don't worry, this matter is not that complicated." Regarding the questions of the imperial concubines, Cohen said with a smile: "Actually, I recognized this bastard as soon as he entered the hall. The reason why he remained calm is that
I want to see what kind of opera he is singing."
"So, do you like the opera husband Nizam sings?"
"Let's look at it from two aspects. First, assuming that Nizam doesn't have a strong background, he has spent so many years struggling in the temple and has sharpened his skills. He has offended too many people and is really under attack from all sides. That's why he took advantage of this opportunity.
Come and make a contribution, hoping to get an opportunity to go out and cultivate your own strength." Cohen explained: "As an alternate cardinal priest, as long as he can do this well, the high priest of Sibia will
It belongs to him. And this young master just needs a buffer in the negotiations with the Gods, so it is just right to keep him."
"Second, Nizam already has a strong background and is approaching this young master with a very clear purpose. Then, it is very likely that he exists as an eye above, or as a root of the Cardinal Court.
If this is the case, this young master will keep him even more." Cohen touched his chin: "It has been accumulating that the empire gives people a too strong sense of oppression, and we don't need to maintain this oppression now, so there is
It is necessary to make our daily affairs more transparent to alleviate some people's concerns."
"I understand what you mean, husband." Feilin nodded: "In this way, at least the Sbia Empire will no longer be so mysterious and terrifying. Anyone who is interested can get what they want from Nizam.
Or information we want to release."
"Smart." Cohen reached out and scratched the tip of Feline's nose as fast as lightning: "So, what we need is such a person. As for his original virtue, it doesn't matter. It is rare for him to keep his own rules and commit adultery.
It doesn’t matter if you break the law.”
"Then, we have to give him a place where he can spy easily. The small building between the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Interior is still empty, so we will give him a place to work daily. It is also very close to the palace." Feilin thought again.
I thought: "As for my status...how about being the liaison envoy to the Cardinal Court of the Temple and a bachelor of the empire, and also a chamberlain?"
"Ha, isn't that just a big idler?" Wen Sili clapped her hands and said, "It's a good arrangement to have no real power but still get information. This can be considered an official from the temple, right? Cardinal Court
This time I can earn back my face."
"It's not good to put it too bluntly. The relationship between this young master and the Cardinal Court has always been good..." Cohen replied with a smile: "The Cardinal Court and the red priests restrict each other. They must be dirty. Since I suppressed the red priests before
Priest Yi, then you must stick to your style this time!”
"I'm just afraid that the Gods are not limited to this trick. Several things mentioned in the oracle are actually quite important. The result of any one thing can make the empire miserable." Feilin was a little worried: "In all these cases, we
We have to give the Gods an explanation..."
"Don't worry, since Nizam dares to take on this job, he has the ability to handle these things well, and maybe he can give us a surprise?" Cohen disagreed: "Actually, I have already prepared for these three things.
It's not serious. But now that Nizam is in front of me, I am free... Yes, the eldest princess and the little princess of the God Clan will not stop like this. In this way, we will announce tomorrow that we will be the two
The princess will plant ninety-nine statues each, and they will be placed in front of the Youshuang Palace from outside the city! Let the treaty business group prepare the materials and have it done within half a year!"
"Why do you do this?" The fourth concubine was surprised. The material was easy to talk about, but why did Cohen show courtesy to the Gods?
"I will do what the two princesses have always expected me to do, please them with my actions!" Cohen laughed: "Because Nizam will soon know that in the Sbia Empire, officials from the old and new factions are related to each other because of their royal blood.
A gap has arisen! At this time, as the emperor, I, of course, need to find some round thighs to hold my arms... Is there any news that is more inspiring than that people in Sbia cannot share the same wealth? "
"I really admire you." Dill was a bit dumbfounded: "Even this kind of thing can be used to make a fuss!"
"Dear, this is not making a fuss, this is the way things develop." Cohen shook his head: "The two princesses have always known about this matter. If we still maintain harmony here, it will be very bad...
"
"Indeed." Feilin nodded and confirmed her husband's suggestion, then looked at Cohen cautiously: "But if this play wants to be realistic, it must have the cooperation of the father..."
"I'll leave it to you to handle this matter, as long as there's no blood involved." Cohen said softly, "I won't interfere, and I won't ask questions in the future."
Feilin didn't say anything, just nodded slightly. In fact, as soon as Cohen finished speaking these words, he handed over the power to deal with these old-school officials to her in front of the other three imperial concubines.
.This matter originally involved the blood relationship of family and country, which was quite complicated, but Cohen handled it calmly. The trust of the couple, the thoughtfulness of the couple, and the kindness of the monarch and his ministers were all reflected in it.
If the deception that Nizam learned is an introduction to power, then Cohen can be regarded as the master of the sect - it is acting in name, but it is a fake show. The old-school officials of the empire must withdraw from the political stage, but in the great righteousness
In their name, they would not lose their face, and the authority of Feilin and several princes could be preserved. In the end, they also paralyzed the Guangming God Clan...
"I suddenly thought of something." Kelly raised her head and looked at the people around her: "Now that the light gods have come forward, the dark demons will not remain silent, right? I heard... I heard that they are exorcising demons.
When the temple was a priest, more people were killed."
"It's inevitable. Everyone has habits. When ordinary people see that the other person is a priest of the Demon Temple, they will of course be more aggressive." Cohen stretched out: "It's coming soon, but I have already prepared for it.
Isn’t this whole business a deal? It’s okay, I’ve already given the price, and now I’m just waiting for their counter-offer..."
Before Cohen finished speaking, dull footsteps were approaching. The rocky body like a hill trotted over and knelt down on one knee: "Reporting to His Majesty the Emperor, dear concubines - someone has forcibly broken into the harem!"
Cohen and the four imperial concubines looked at each other in amazement. The emperor patted the armrest and asked, "Who is it?"
"Me! It's me!" Before Rock could answer, a voice came from far away: "Helter, I want to fight with you!"
"Hey, what kind of madness is Hai Dadan doing?"
No one from the Light God Clan came, but this guy forced his way into the harem, leaving Cohen confused. However, the relationship between the two was special, and Cohen shouted outside: "It's okay, let him come over!"
After hearing Cohen's instructions, Crow raised his hand, and the scabbard that was originally pressing on Haiert's shoulder was released. The lieutenant general did not suppress it, and shouted "Ouch" in his mouth, and ran away with a "Whoosh!"
