The old emperor silently read through the memorials with a serious look on his face. Qiu Defu didn't dare to take a breath, always having the illusion that the old emperor would explode in the next second. The chambermaids and maids had quietly retreated. There are many people in the palace, so it doesn't matter if many people die. But for the maids and chamberlains who are qualified to serve in the Taiji Palace, every one of them will die. It takes time to cultivate qualified talents. The old emperor was brutally killing people, killing them today and tomorrow. It was really worrying that the reserves of talent could not keep up with the consumption. "Your Majesty!" He called softly, "Your Majesty, do you want to rest?" The old emperor seemed to wake up from his meditation and threw away the memorial at hand, looking angry but having to endure it. Qiu Defu asked boldly again: "Does your Majesty have any instructions?" The old emperor walked up and down the hall, upset, "I have issued an order to commend Pingjiang Marquis and urge him to deal with the rebel Guo Dachun as soon as possible. I haven't seen him for a long time and miss him very much. I can't wait to have a game between king and minister." . In addition, the Ministry of War was sent to summon Chen Guan to return to Beijing to report on his duties. "
Qiu Defu was shocked when he heard this. The old emperor was indeed afraid of the Chen family and his son. The position of Marquis Pingjiang cannot be moved. There is a rebel named Guo Dachun in the north who has not been eliminated, so Marquis Pingjiang still needs to be in charge. But in the south, Chen Guanfu was just a lieutenant. Although the battle was fierce, he was not irreplaceable. Now that the situation is clear, it’s time to take action. Qiu Defu bowed and promised. The old emperor seemed to want to make amends again, and said: "The father and son of the Chen family have been away all year round, working hard, and I really can't bear it. How can it be unbecoming for such a huge Marquis Mansion to be empty during the New Year without even one person making the decision? I sympathize with Chen Due to the difficulties at home, Chen Guanfu was called back to the capital. From now on, he can work well in the capital and take care of his family. " "Your Majesty is wise!" Qiu Defu said. The old emperor smiled proudly and was very satisfied with his arrangement, "Just follow this arrangement. Let Chen Guanfu return to the capital after receiving the official document without delay. Let Pingjiang Marquis pursue the victory and not let Guo Dachun go. All the people of the Ming Dynasty King and his men Escort them to the capital, and I will cut them into pieces." Anyone who dares to rebel will be executed with three thousand swords and will not be tolerated. It is absolutely impossible to recruit surrender and accept rebellion. The old emperor was extremely resolute on this matter, and no one could change his decision. Orders were issued one after another. The elder who was far away in the north received an order urging him to send troops to annihilate Guo Dachun, but he simply threw it aside and ignored it. The counselor silently put away the decree, put it away, and said softly: "The old emperor summoned the prince to return to the capital, obviously because he had scruples about the marquis. According to the news in the palace, the old emperor suspected that the marquis deliberately delayed the war." "His suspicions are very reasonable." The elder laughed playfully, with contemptuous eyes. "He is a suspicious person. It is unexpected that he has to wait until this time to recall the crown prince to the capital. In terms of intelligence, no one in the court can compare with him. . Playing with people’s hearts is his specialty.” "It's a pity that the old emperor is obsessed with Taoism." The counselor sighed. Ever since the old emperor began to practice Taoism, the current situation has begun to deteriorate. The whole world is like a leaky shabby house with holes everywhere. The old man looked out the window. It had not snowed yet in the capital, but there had been several heavy snowfalls in the north. The heavy snow covered up all the colors and the ugly face of the desolate land. The elder murmured to himself: "This land cannot be peaceful!" "That's what the Marquis said. According to the information the spies heard, Beirong has been having a hard time in the past few years. He is ready to make a move and may go south at any time. King Cheng is hesitant and still undecided." "Since he can't make up his mind, I will make up his mind for him. Send someone to tell him that he must either die or send troops."
"Will it be too intense?" The counselor was a little worried. The elder snorted coldly and sneered: "The old immortal is sitting on the dragon throne. I have trouble sleeping and eating. The situation must be made chaotic. The old immortal is getting older and the tomb has been repaired. It's time to lie down in it." Doesn’t he want to practice Taoism? It’s best to do it inside the tomb.” The elder said the most treasonous words in an understatement. Word has spread that the Yi Tribe set meal is ready, and the Lingchi set meal will definitely be available as well. But he didn't care. There is a fire in my heart that keeps burning. After decades of burning, he could no longer bear it. The counselor hurriedly persuaded the elder to calm down and be patient. I have endured it for so many years, so there is no harm in enduring it for a few more years. "He deposed all the princes and made it clear that he was obsessed with power. He wanted to live, and he wanted to live another ten or twenty years. I can wait, but I cannot wait ten or twenty years. How can there be seventy in the world? Nian Emperor? That’s ridiculous!” The elder was furious and looked like he couldn't bear it anymore. There are many talented people around the old emperor. If he wants to live, he must have a way to extend his life. Ten or twenty years is not just a casual talk, it is really possible. The counselor was frightened, "Why is the Marquis so sure that the old emperor can live for ten or twenty years? Does the old emperor have some secret skills?" The elder snorted coldly, "I have received news that the Supreme Elder from Jixia Academy has come out. Do you know where this Supreme Elder came from?" "Students don't know, please ask Mr. Hou to clarify his doubts." "This Supreme Elder is already at the master level. However, when he was young, his qualifications were only above average, and his talent was only above average. So many talented people failed to break through to the master realm and fell one after another. Only he broke through to the master realm. . Do you know what he relies on?" "What?" "He has a superb alchemy technique. He relied on a large number of elixirs to push himself to the Grandmaster level. As a result, his level is not stable enough, and his strength is at the bottom among the Grandmasters. He has been in seclusion for these years just to stabilize his level. This time, I think the problem has been solved. This Marquis has received accurate information that the Jixia Academy has joined forces with the old immortal, and wants to be a running dog for the old immortal in exchange for power in the court. With the elixirs provided by the Supreme Elder, it is not difficult for the old immortal to live another ten or twenty years. Not only did he depose the prince, he also wanted to outlive his sons. Hahaha... This Marquis is old, and it is difficult for him to make any progress in his cultivation. His life span is limited. This Marquis can't wait for him for another ten or twenty years." The eldest master slammed his fist on the table. He didn't expect that the Jixia Academy would choose to surrender to the old emperor at this time. It's all because of the deposed prince's incompetence. He was deposed before a battle. The Grandmasters around the deposed prince are equally incompetent, and their brains are full of water. Saving one's life is useless. A deposed prince who has lost his power is like a poisonous snake with its teeth pulled out. A three-year-old child can beat him to death. The master was extremely anxious. Before, he was still thinking about taking it slow and steady, and moving forward step by step according to the established plan. Now, the only way is to advance the plan. The dormant forces should move.
