MTL - I Am Immortal In The Cultivation World-Chapter 423 guarding the palace
"Old deer!"
Zhou Yi squeezed his eyes hard and shed two tears.
Compared with other times, there is a little sincerity in these tears, and more of a relief at last.
Lao Lu had heard too many secrets, and it was better to die at the hands of others than Zhou Yi himself.
Zhou Yi straightened the old deer's head, saw that his eyes were pierced and his nose was flattened, he carefully pulled out the iron nails on his body, found clothes to put on his body, and barely recovered his human form.
"Our family will avenge you!"
This kind of torture is rarely seen in the Supervisory Division's dungeon.
And each wound has special attention, or the intersection of meridians, or the gap between viscera, to ensure that all punishments will not die before the end, and the torturer must be a master of martial arts.
"Sanyang Sect, White Lotus Sect, our family will spend hundreds of years to uproot you!"
Zhou Yi's eyes flashed coldly, the old deer was his last favor, and from then on, only cold interests remained.
Call the servant on duty.
"Go and tell Xiao Yinzi to find eighteen good-looking servants. Our family promised Lao Lu that after his death, we will have a good time!"
When Zhou Yi said this, he suddenly felt the shade behind him.
Looking back suddenly, there is no one behind him. There may be some super light kung fu in this world without a trace, but no one can disappear before Zhou Yi's eyes.
Zhouyi circulated his true qi, scattered away like a raging wave, violently swept the ground for several feet, making sure that there were no underground caves and secret rooms.
"Could it be a gust of wind?"
After a while.
Xiao Yinzi took the selected eighteen sons and specially changed into sackcloth and mourning clothes, and the leader held a two-foot-long banner.
This is already a very high standard in the palace. After all, it was just a servant who died. Normally, he would be buried in a sack and buried in Enji Temple without even a tombstone.
"Godfather, our family couldn't find a coffin, so we had to go out and buy it."
"It's not peaceful in the palace now, don't make a big noise, wait until you leave the palace before encoffining."
Zhouyi ordered: "When you arrive at Enji Temple, you will cry louder and worse, just like your parents who have died. Lao Lu is a relative and friend of our family, so we can't just disappear silently!"
"Obey."
All the servants agreed in unison and carefully placed the corpse on the stretcher.
After leaving the palace, put the coffin into the coffin that had been prepared earlier, and walked all the way to Enji Temple.
There was Dongchang fanzi opening the way before, and there were servants in the palace who were crying and crying. The people they met talked a lot, guessing what important person died in the palace, and it was so ostentatious.
More than ten miles south of the capital, Enji Temple is located here.
The monks in the temple do not accept incense, do not perform official duties, but only take care of elder care, funerals and other matters in the palace.
Master Xuanmiao, the abbot, was waiting outside the gate of the temple. Hearing that the governor of Dongchang had personally delivered the funeral, he immediately called all the monks who were familiar with Buddhist scriptures.
Seeing the funeral procession approaching, three bells rang in the temple.
"Amitabha!"
Xuanmiao proclaimed the Buddha's name, bowed and said: "The poor monk has long admired the name of Duke Du, and seeing him today is really extraordinary."
Zhou Yi sensed the mysterious true energy, and he seemed to have some connection with the old man, and asked, "What is the relationship between Master and Chan Master Huiming of Landa Temple?"
Xuanmiao replied, "That's the uncle of the poor monk."
Zhou Yi said: "Chan Master Huiming debated the Dharma with our family, saying that our family has a predestined relationship with Buddha, so we called each other teachers and brothers."
"Meet Grand Master Zhou!"
Xuanmiao fell to her knees with a puff, and bowed down.
Seeing this, the monk behind him first looked at each other in blank dismay, then glanced at the vicious Dongchang Fanzi, and immediately knelt down and shouted "Master Zhou!"
"Not bad, our horses are the most sensible in Buddhism."
Zhou Yi nodded slightly, and entered Enji Temple first.
The monks in the temple got up quickly, guided the funeral team according to the rules and procedures, buried the old deer's body in the tomb, deliberately found a central position, and carefully built a seven-story pagoda.
Inscriptions and the like, have their own connotations of proficiency in writing
The waiter wrote, bragging about Lao Lu's achievements during his lifetime.
Xuanmiao personally wrote the name tablet and enshrined it in the Daxiong Hall. There are monks chanting scriptures and praying for blessings from time to time, and incense is indispensable for offerings every day.
The old deer had just been buried, and the servant named Xiao Cuizi suddenly threw himself on the seven-story pagoda and wept loudly.
"Father! I don't want you to leave..."
"Our dear father!"
His voice was shrill and his emotions were sorrowful, making the waiter pretending to cry that the dead were Xiao Cuizi's biological parents.
Little Cuizi kowtowed, his blood dyed the pagoda red.
A strange look flashed in Zhou Yi's eyes, he had only heard of a living man as his father, but it was the first time he saw a dead man as his father, such a servant who knows how to seize opportunities and is willing to show his skin is rare in the palace.
"What's his name? Where does he work?"
Xiao Yinzi replied: "Xiao Cuizi, who is on duty as the palace supervisor, has only been in the palace for more than two years, and he is assigned to be on duty in the Imperial Garden."
"Imperial Garden? There is a lot of fate with our family!"
Zhou Yi said: "From now on, he is Lao Lu's own son. He changed his name to Xiao Luzi and was transferred to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to be on duty. Our family can't treat the old man badly."
Xiao Yinzi asked: "Godfather, there is no shortage of children in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, who will be replaced?"
The orthodox emperor mostly worked in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and summoned his confidant ministers to discuss matters. Over time, it became the core of the palace, and all the servants did not want to work here, in order to get into His Majesty's eyes.
All the servants in the Palace of Mental Cultivation have background connections, and they will definitely not be able to get in with martial arts talent alone.
"No need to change it. Our family heard that Xiao Pingzi has a serious illness and his time is running out. When he dies, there will naturally be a shortage!"
Zhou Yi's voice was calm and unwavering, perhaps because he had killed too many people, it was as natural as eating and sleeping.
"Son understands."
Xiao Yinzi bowed to accept the order, but his godfather said that Xiaopingzi must die if he got a serious disease.
After the funeral.
Zhou Yi retreated to the left and right, and stood alone in front of the old deer's tomb.
"Our family always listens to you bragging about being kind to someone, saving a life, and no one comes to the funeral after death. The beggars in the palace live today and die tomorrow, so there is no such thing as kindness... ..」
Death is like a lamp going out, and all the grievances and grievances of the past are gone.
Zhou Yi suddenly saw that he once talked with Lao Lu all night in the cold palace, or judged the ancients, or talked about the state.
Every time the old deer has unique insights, Zhouyi will remember them in his heart and turn them into his own understanding of the world. Since then, his words and deeds will be subtly influenced by this, which can be called earnest teaching.
"From now on, our family has no one to talk to!"
Sighing, just as he was about to turn around and leave, an old voice suddenly sounded in Zhou Yi's ear.
"Eunuch Yi, we meet again."
Dao's figure suddenly appeared beside the pagoda, as if he was standing there originally, only revealed because of his voice.
Zhou Yi cupped his hands and said, "The younger generation has seen Eunuch Wei."
"I can't be a senior. Yi Gonggong will slay the sword god. Our family may not be able to do it. In the future, we will talk about it as our peers."
Eunuch Wei said: "Our family is here today, one is to pay homage to Eunuch Lu, and the other is to convey His Majesty's oral instructions!"
coming!
Zhou Yi confronted the empress head-on in Kunning Palace, the purpose was to convey his position to the orthodox emperor. As expected, there was nothing new in the palace, and Eunuch Wei came to pass the decree in a blink of an eye.
Eunuch Wei said: "Your Majesty has an order that Eunuch Yi guards the palace, strictly guarding against death, and there must be no major disturbances."
"The servant accepts the order."
Zhou Yi rolled his eyes and said, "Will our family submit the list of guards in the palace to His Majesty for review, and if there are any omissions, we can make up for them earlier."
"Your Majesty has been sick recently, so it's inconvenient to see people."
After Eunuch Wei finished speaking, he burned a stack of paper money in front of the old deer's grave, and his figure jumped and disappeared.
Zhou Yi looked in the direction of the palace, his eyes changing.
"After all, our family is a monk who became a monk halfway through, so he can't be regarded as a true confidant of His Majesty. If this is the case, if we still let our family guard the palace, we will not be afraid to fight with you."
The queen teamed up?"
"Who in this world can refuse to give power to the government and the public? If there is no possibility, our family will take risks!"
"Such a simple truth, of course His Majesty can think of it, so he is absolutely sure that even if our family turns against us, we can wipe it out..."
Zhou Yi pondered over and over again, what is the means for His Majesty to win.
When Kunning Palace saw the queen, the indifferent and noble woman in the past threatened herself with force like a crazy woman.
Zhou Yi knew that the queen was going to lose, and she was just dying.
After thinking about it, I feel that it is not safe. The palace is as big as a palm, and there are countless pavilions. The tyranny of the innate master can be vividly displayed.
It is absolutely impossible for the orthodox emperor to entrust his own safety to Eunuch Hai and Eunuch Wei, and he will not even allow himself to be in any danger.
Zhou Yi couldn't guess His Majesty's thoughts, so he pushed himself and others, and put himself on the dragon chair to speculate.
"If our family were the emperor, if we found out that the palace change was imminent, we would definitely run away, and come back after all the rebels are dead... No wonder Eunuch Wei would go out of the palace to pass the decree!"
…
Back to the warden on duty.
Zhou Yi thought about summoning the servant of the Rites Supervisor to ask His Majesty about his recent situation, but quickly let go of this idea.
Even if he asked someone to come, he still couldn't tell if it was true or not. Mr. Yuan managed the Rites Supervisor into an iron bucket, and if he forcibly interrogated him, he would startle the snake and ruin His Majesty's plan.
After being promoted to Chief Admiral of the Internal Affairs Department, Zhou Yi did not cleanse or incorporate the remaining nine prisons, and the main jurisdiction was still the original three prisons, so as not to overwhelm His Majesty with too much power.
At this moment.
Xiao Zhongzi's voice came from outside the door: "Godfather, we found out about the guy who cheated on outsiders."
Zhou Yi winked, Xiao Yinzi and others bowed and retreated.
"Bring it in."
"Meet godfather"
Xiao Zhongzi knelt down in front of Zhou Yi, kowtowed, and pointed to the white-haired old man behind him.
"This guy's surname is Wu and his name is Ning. He is the servant of the Imperial Horse Supervisor in the palace. He is secretly involved with King Pingxi. On the day the godfather returned to Beijing, he was the one who tipped off the news, and the next son blocked the way!"
Wu Ning was not frightened when he heard the words, he stepped forward and kowtowed, "I humbly pay my respects to Duke Du."
Zhou Yi was surprised and said, "Aren't you afraid of our family?"
The words "Dongchang Dugong" could stop children from crying at night in the Daqing Dynasty. The common people would scare disobedient children and often say that they would send you to Dongchang to be eaten by Dugong!
"Of course our family is afraid of the Dugong, but the prince has saved his life, so he has to repay it!"
Wu Ning said: "Today, I also got the instruction from the prince to take the initiative to expose my identity and send a letter. Otherwise, it will be difficult to find our family in three to five months by means of loyalty to my father-in-law."
Xiao Zhongzi's face turned blue, but he didn't refute.
Wu Ning's status is low and inconspicuous, he is cautious in speaking and doing things on weekdays, and he is an old man in the palace for more than ten years, so he doesn't look like a spy of King Pingxi.
Ten years ago, King Pingxi was only the local commander-in-chief, and he even visited the capital a few times.
Zhou Yi asked, "What letter did the lord ask you to send?"
Wu Ning glanced at Xiao Zhongzi: "The matter is very important, so we can only discuss it with Duke Du."
Xiao Zhongzi had no choice but to back down, with a flash of bitterness and resentment in his eyes, he dared to put on small shoes for us again and again in front of his godfather.
Wu Ning is not dead today, but in the future he will be taught to kill all the nine clans!
"Report to the Governor."
Wu Ning said in a low voice: "Your Majesty asked our family to tell you that His Majesty is not in the palace, and the Beijing camp has been handed over to the Feng family, what should the Dugong do?"
Zhou Yi secretly said that it was so, the Emperor Zhengtong didn't play any exciting games with the queen at all, but the army swept across the ghosts and monsters in the palace, cleansing the universe in a dignified way.
In the storybook, those emperors took risks with their own lives to attract rebels, which obviously cannot exist.
After all, a gentleman is not good for a dangerous wall!
His Majesty has thousands of troops and horses and horses, but fights with the rebels at close quarters, which can only be said to be necessary for the story.
Zhou Yi's thoughts turned, and he instantly locked on several people who had to be eradicated. Among them, there were two people in the front row.
Eunuch Yuan is well known to supervise Eunuch Yu.
His Majesty's going out of the palace is such a big event, he actually hid it from our family!
"What and how?"
Zhou Yi knowingly asked the question, and cupped his hands in the direction of the Beijing camp: "Our family has His Majesty's order to guard the palace and prevent minor disturbances!"
Wu Ning hinted again: "This is a great opportunity, all the blame can be pushed to the queen."
"Bold!"
Zhou Yi scolded sharply: "Do you understand the rules of the palace, you dare to make false comments about the palace? It seems that our family is going to clean up the internal servants."
Now is indeed a good opportunity.
The Feng family was in charge of the Beijing camp, Zhou Yi was in charge of the internal servants, and under the guise of the queen's rebellion, His Majesty died. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Fake the inheritance edict and push the young prince to the throne, the plight of the Feng family and Zhou Yi can be solved, and the power can go further.
This is indeed a great temptation, few people can bear it, but Zhou Yi dare not and cannot agree.
King Pingxi is in charge of the Beijing camp and supported by the generals of the Zhengxi Army. He will gain power in the future, and his next goal is to eradicate Zhouyi.
Furthermore, who knows who Wu Ning belongs to?
Zhou Yi didn't believe anyone, so everything he said and did was impeccable, and he would call the emperor's grace when he opened his mouth, and no one would tell anyone when he really planned to do something.
"For the sake of the prince, our family spares your life, but if you break the rules, you will be kicked out of the palace."
"Thank you Duchess."
Wu Ning repeatedly hinted that he couldn't get a response, so he had no choice but to leave. The prince did not have the support of the internal servants. Unless he really raised the flag to rebel and usurp the throne, it would be difficult to coerce the emperor into regent.
The present is not a chaotic world, and military leaders cannot tolerate reckless actions.
Zhou Yi looked at Wu Ning's leaving back, his expression changed, and he tapped his fingers on the table.
"Would you like to report to His Majesty that King Pingxi intends to rebel and overthrow this potential enemy. In this way, there will be one less family in Beijing who can compete with our family!"
"No! Doing so will create an imbalance..."
"There is no one in the court to balance with the civil servants, and it is difficult to contain King Zhenbei from the outside. The country is unstable at every turn, and the world is in chaos!"
Zhou Yi doesn't care whether the world is chaotic or not, but the power of the Minister of Internal Affairs comes from the imperial power. When troubled times come, who cares about eunuchs without eunuchs, only those with strong soldiers and horses are kings.
The soldiers are fierce and the battle is dangerous, how can it be safe now.
"It's no wonder that His Majesty thinks highly of King Pingxi. He is really a person who is in danger of the country. It's no wonder King Pingxi wants to rebel."
"You are more important than His Majesty, are you far from death?"
