Lu Zhaoer seemed to have seen what Lin Ji was thinking, or maybe she knew Lin Ji very well because they had known each other for a long time.
"Feeling troublesome?"
"Yes." Lin Ji did not deny it.
"Master Fang said, no matter what the cost."
Lin Ji nodded and said, "I know, so I just find it troublesome and don't think it's wrong."
"This is to avenge Mr. Sun. If it really ends like this, regardless of the losses, the aftermath will be very troublesome, but my colleagues in the Supervisory Office can breathe a long sigh of relief."
Lin Ji sighed: "Today's Supervisor Tiansi is indeed much worse than the previous dynasty. It has more than enough reputation, but not enough intimidation."
Lin Ji felt sorry when he thought of the dead Sun Heya.
He and Sun Heya also had some friendship, and now all he could do was avenge each other.
"Let's go, this mountain forest is still big. As long as the purple ghost ginseng is not taken away, those daring evil spirits will not leave."
"It just so happens that you have just made a breakthrough, so I will raid the formation for you and help you consolidate your cultivation."
"It couldn't be better." Lin Ji readily agreed.
...
Beijing, Imperial Palace.
January 1st of the third year of Shengyuan.
According to the original practice, today is the time for hundreds of officials to pay homage. Even the minor officials in the capital who are not usually qualified to go to court today are rare to be able to enter the palace to meet the saint and say a few words.
However, the palace issued an order to cancel the official pilgrimage.
The reason given is that the Qin family's worship of heaven and ancestors has not yet ended, so they will worship again tomorrow.
In the Changhua Palace.
Emperor Pei sat on a high seat and looked at the people below.
Luo Xuan, the prime minister on the left, and Mu Hanfei, the prime minister on the right, were both present. At this time, it was rare for them to stand together without saying a word.
In front of them, Fang Yunshan looked at Emperor Pei in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
If it were normal for Fang Yunshan to behave like this, Lan Zeying, who was following Pei Di, would have scolded Fang Yunshan for being disrespectful.
But it happened that the person next to Emperor Pei today was a strange eunuch, so the eunuch just looked at him with a stern face and said nothing.
There was silence in the palace for a long time. Emperor Pei frowned and opened his mouth several times, but stopped talking several times.
Finally, Emperor Pei let out a long sigh.
"Fang Aiqing...Mr. Fang...Senior Fang!"
Fang Yunshan's expression remained unchanged and he just bowed.
Seeing this, Emperor Pei felt even more pity in his eyes.
"Eunuch Lan is now seriously injured and on the verge of death. After seeing it, my grandfather took the seventh-grade resurrection pill from the royal treasury. But even so, it will be difficult for him to enter the country after he recovers. It is still unclear whether he can even regain his previous cultivation level.
."
Hearing this, Fang Yunshan had a slight sneer on his face.
"He brought it upon himself."
Hearing this, Emperor Pei slammed the table.
"You dare to take action against my chief executive without any evidence. Could it be that you will be dissatisfied with me in the future, so you will also take action against me?"
"Don't dare!"
"You don't dare? You still don't dare?!" Emperor Pei said angrily, "The Editorial Department was established by my decree. Even if it is somewhat involved with your Tiansi Supervisor, it is only limited to Jingzhou! Why, you supervise
If Tiansi doesn’t obey my will, why can’t I have some power of my own under my nose?”
These words are already heartbreaking words.
But it happened that Jian Tiansi had been like this for thousands of years. He would never interfere in the affairs of the court or obey the orders of the court.
Of course, disobeying orders would not be made public, but even the emperor would not give direct orders to Supervisor Tiansi.
Listen to the tune but not the propaganda, and do your own thing.
Therefore, what Pei Emperor said about not obeying the will and placing it on others is definitely a capital crime.
But it happened to be placed on Jian Tiansi's head, but it didn't hurt or itch.
Hearing this, Fang Yunshan asked: "Your Majesty, since the establishment of the Compilation Department, I have never had any active entanglement with the Compilation Department. It was their repeated provocations."
"People of the Ming Dynasty do not tell secret stories. Even if there is no evidence for some things, if you say they did it, then they did it."
"Fang Yunshan, I didn't expect you to be more domineering than me!" As he said this, Emperor Pei's eyes fell on the eunuch beside him.
The eunuch understood and took half a step forward.
Fang Yunshan also looked at the eunuch.
"Eunuch Chu, I didn't expect that even you would be implicated. You have been recuperating in the harem for several years, why should you come out to wade into this muddy water again."
Eunuch Chu shook his head and said: "Master Fang, you should be more restrained in front of His Majesty."
Hearing this, Fang Yunshan was silent for a moment, and finally bowed.
"It was Fang who was disrespectful with his words earlier. I hope your majesty will forgive me."
But Emperor Pei looked bored and waved his hand.
"That's all, you won't listen even after I say it. You are even more domineering at the peak of Taoism than Gao Qunshu back then."
"Your Majesty is serious."
"Serious words? Although Gao Qunshu will not contradict me face to face and acts businesslike in everything, he dares to use the entire Great Qin Dynasty as his wedding dress!"
"And you, you clearly don't take me seriously even before you have officially taken the position of the boss." Emperor Pei said with a bit of self-deprecation in his tone, "If I weren't a descendant of the Qin family, if it weren't for grandpa,
If you are still sitting on the mountain, I'm afraid you may not hear the announcement and come to see me today."
Fang Yunshan remained silent.
Pei Di didn't want to say anything more.
"Sun Aiqing's death does need an explanation. He has been in Jingzhou for many years and has worked hard and made great achievements. This matter needs a result! Jingzhou does need to be cleaned up."
After a pause, Emperor Pei continued: "I am afraid that you, the Supervisor of Heaven, will not be able to handle this matter alone, so the Editor of Affairs will also take action."
Hearing this, Fang Yunshan raised his head again, but when he saw Eunuch Chu, he chose to remain silent and did not comment.
It's just that the corners of his mouth curved a little.
"Go down, I'm tired."
Fang Yunshan saluted and quickly walked out of the hall.
After Fang Yunshan left, Emperor Pei looked at the two prime ministers again.
"Read his book." Pei Di said.
Mu Hanfei and Luo Xuan looked at each other without saying a word.
"Tomorrow when hundreds of officials will pay homage, please read his book."
The two prime ministers did not ask why, and after agreeing, they left one after another.
After everyone left, Emperor Pei looked at Eunuch Chu beside him.
"Eunuch Chu, do you think Fang Yunshan can really achieve Taoism?"
"If nothing unexpected happens." Eunuch Chu nodded, "He entered the Tao from Jian Tiansi, but after seeing through Jian Tiansi, he found a new Tao. He may be stronger than Gao Qunshu in the future."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Pei sighed softly.
"is it possible..."
After the conversation started, Eunuch Chu frowned and said, "Your Majesty, please don't resort to talking."
"how..."
"Fang Yunshan seriously injured Lan Zeying with three swords last night. If Emperor Mian hadn't taken action, Lan Zeying would have been killed on the spot with the fourth sword."
Eunuch Chu's tone became more solemn.
"He didn't simply enter the Tao...it was half-way."
Pei Di's hole shrank suddenly.
"If Fang Yunshan succeeds, who else in the Qin Dynasty can control him? Do we need our ancestors..."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be impatient."
"Why?"
"He will not harm Da Qin, not to mention that he has already decided to leave."
Eunuch Chu shook his head slightly.
"If he hadn't already made up his mind to leave, he wouldn't have done it halfway."
