Chapter 34 Shock between the ruling and opposition parties That night. Three hundred shadow guards and two thousand soldiers worked overtime to destroy the map, move the blood python, and dismantle the hardware secret room. The doors of the "Golden House" and the "Silver House" are made of pure gold and silver, and the "Iron House" is also made of high-quality iron. It would be a waste to soak them in water. The prisoner was escorted back to the capital overnight and imprisoned in the imperial prison. Zhu Biao and Yun Qi each wrote a document to explain the situation and asked the shadow guard to take it back and present it to Zhu Yuanzhang. The big thing has been done. All that remains is to wait until tomorrow to worship the ancestors and the day after tomorrow to return to Beijing. Zhao Wumian did not go back with the shadow guard. He had finally managed to leave Beijing and planned to complete the journey with Zhu Biao, treating it as a holiday, and to try to learn Yun Qi's "Blue Sea Calming Waves Palm". After several contacts, he and Yun Qi became more and more familiar with each other. They were both teachers and friends. Yun Qi did not hide anything and took time to practice it. Zhao Wumian learned it after watching it. This set of martial arts belongs to the middle level of earth rank. It is both a palm technique and an internal power. It was originally a way of running internal breath created by a strange man of his generation, "Xi Kunlun", through observing the changes of yin and yang ocean currents. When it is stored in the body, it is a method of practicing Qi, and when it is released externally, it is the unparalleled "Blue Sea Calming Waves Palm". Zhao Wumian prepared to go back and pass it to Bai Liuli.
In this way, the "Running Palm" that has not been used many times can also be replaced... Zhao Wumian has now completely upgraded his weapons and has a lot of unique skills. The internal skills include "Da Wuxiang Sutra", "Tiangang Yiqi", "Bodhi Heart Seal Sutra", "Nine Nether Mysterious Heaven Divine Art" and many other unique skills, both good and evil, swordsmanship includes "Xuantian Three Styles" and "Ghost Wind Sword Art", boxing and kicking skills include "Cassock Subduing Demons", magic skills include "Five Elements Positioning" and "Heaven and Earth as Soldiers", and body skills include "Jinghong Treading Snow Step"... Any one of them can cause a bloody storm in the world. Generally speaking, the "Great Wuxiang Sutra" which only focuses on the changes of true qi is not as good as the "Tiangang Yiqi" which is the third practice of the Lingwu body. After comparison, Zhao Wumian decided to major in "Tian Gang Yi Qi" and use "Da Wu Xiang Jing" as a method of simulation and breath control. "Tian Gang Yi Qi" can draw star power into the body, cleanse the marrow and strengthen the body, cultivate the three essences, energy and spirit, and allow the energy to flow through the whole body, making it indestructible. When it is released externally, it is strong and invincible. In terms of power, it is even stronger than the Wu Xiang Sutra. The only trouble is that this Kung Fu requires practicing the Gangbu, which is also called "stepping on the Gangbu to fight" to enter stillness through movement. However, compared with its bonus, this trouble is nothing. Life is peaceful and tranquil here in Zhao Wumian's place, but things are going horribly wrong in the capital! Fei Ming, the third son of the Pingliang Marquis' Mansion, and Luo Qingquan, the housekeeper, joined forces with the Jin Gang Sect and the Yipintang rebels to assassinate Zhao Wumian, a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, in an attempt to steal Hu Weiyong's treasure. They were caught on the spot by the Crown Prince Zhu Biao and the chief eunuch Yun Qi. After arriving in Beijing, they were directly imprisoned in the imperial prison for strict trial. The Pingliang Marquis' Mansion was also surrounded, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. The assassination of the Jinyiwei was secondary and could be said to be a personal grudge. The most fatal thing was the collusion with the Tibetan Vajra Sect and the rebel Yipintang! Hu Weiyong was executed for treason, Yipintang and Vajra Sect committed treason and robbed the execution ground. What was the intention of Pingliang Marquis Mansion colluding with such a rebel group? The government and the public were shocked! Everyone knows that the Fei family is finished! However, the scarier thing is yet to come. The next day, the pacification officers Mao Xiang and Jiang Huan brought back Lin Xian, the commander of Mingzhou Guard. Mao Xiang has searched his soul and read his mind, and found out that this man is indeed not clean. Although he has not definitely colluded with the Japanese, when the north and south of Japan were in turmoil, he had secretly smuggled arms and took the opportunity to make huge profits. For this reason alone, he deserves to be put to death! Before Jiang Huan arrested people, Mao Xiang put something in his mind. When Jiang Huan came to arrest them, the person Lin Xian was smuggling had become the owner of Ruyao Zang in Japan. The two of them colluded and joined hands with Hu Weiyong to rebel. They wanted to assassinate the current emperor in Huangshan Palace in June this year, and then open the door to welcome the enemy and let the Japanese pirates enter the Central Plains! At the morning court session that day, Jiang Huan took Lin Xian to the Fengtian Hall, where Lin Xian confessed in court. All officials were shocked, and Zhu Yuanzhang was furious. He ordered the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple, and the Supervisory Office to conduct a strict investigation and make sure to find out all the accomplices! The case escalated from then on, and Hu Weiyong's "collusion with the Japanese" began to emerge. The government and the public were shocked again! Officials pay attention to the court, while the people pay more attention to what is happening in the world.
The water of Shenxiu Lake is still red. It didn't take long for someone to deduce what had happened. After all, the commotion was so big, the water level of Shenxiu Lake dropped significantly, and many people witnessed it with their own eyes. Combined with the imperial edict, it was not difficult to guess the key. ——Zhao Wumian, a captain of the Imperial Guard, used himself as bait to lure the remnants of the Pingliang Marquis Mansion who had a grudge against him, the Vajra Sect who wanted to steal the treasure, and the Yipintang who wanted to kill people and steal the treasure, into the underground palace. He then blew up the vents to allow the lake water to flow back, and then joined forces with the Palace Shadow Guard, Crown Prince Zhu Biao, and Palace Chief Eunuch Yun Qi to capture everyone in one fell swoop! Hundreds of people were killed in one go, and Shenxiu Lake was stained with blood! All in all, he is the biggest beneficiary. After this battle, the Yipintang, who had a grudge against him, was almost completely wiped out, and the only one left among the "Twelve Evils" was Wei Wenjin, who did not participate; the Fei family became a rebel party, and judging from the current situation, it might even become a rebellious party; the Vajra Sect was completely credited with merit, and rewards were inevitable... These three parties were in bad luck, all thanks to Zhao Wumian. The name Zhao Wumian became more and more famous. …… Shen House. Embroidered building. Shen Weiyang was wearing a red dress, sitting in front of the window sill on the third floor, looking at the letter in her hand, and said in surprise: "It's quite a big deal, blowing up the underground palace, diverting water backflow, and annihilating the enemies. This is a very vicious idea... I don't know where he is inviting guests. He is a mean-spirited guy, I guess he won't spend money, maybe he will fool me with cabbage and tofu... No, he is a spiritual glutton now, with a big appetite, maybe he will directly serve steamed buns, eat steamed buns as much as you can, it's cheaper this way, haha..." Shen Weiyang laughed to himself. "..." The maid behind her, Alvin, blinked her blue eyes and looked at her lady, feeling something was wrong. Aiwen is also Persian. He has followed Shen Weiyang since he was a child. From Persia to China, more than ten years have passed. This is the first time he has seen Shen Weiyang with such an expression. She is more relaxed than ever before. Aiwen whispered: "Miss, you have to be careful, don't let this be another Gu Changge..." When we first met, Gu Changge was quite gentle and polite, but who would have thought that he would become like that later. It’s so heartbreaking! "He won't." Shen Weiyang looked at the letter in her hand and smiled, "Gu Changge approached me for money and my father's connections. These two things are not a problem for him. With power comes money. He is now the emperor's confidant and favorite. There is no need for him to compromise himself for these things. That's why he is so arrogant..." Shen Weiyang recalled the expression on Zhao Wumian's face when he said, "No one in this world is worthy of my belittling myself." It was as if he had "I won't submit to anyone" written on his face. He chuckled. Ivan didn't know what was so funny, and the lady's expression became more and more strange. at this time. "Oh no!" Shen Quan rushed up from downstairs and said anxiously, "Miss, something happened to Lu Gong!" Shen Weiyang's face changed, and he immediately asked, "What's going on?" Shen Quan took a breath and replied, "I just received news that there is irrefutable evidence that Hu Weiyong was colluding with the Japanese. The emperor flew into a rage in the Fengtian Hall and listed Hu Weiyong's 19 major crimes. He then announced that in order to eradicate such treacherous ministers who bring disaster to the country, he decided to completely abolish the Secretariat and the prime minister system. From today on, the Ming Dynasty will only have the emperor in power, and there will be no prime ministers causing trouble. He also said that his mind has been made up, and all the ministers are not allowed to make any more reports, and then..." Shen Weiyang asked hurriedly: "What happened then? Did Lu Gong make a suggestion?" "Yes……" Shen Quan swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty: "Lü Gong risked his life to make remonstrances. He counted the many prosperous times since the Spring and Autumn Period when the emperor sat in court and the prime minister ruled the country, and knelt down to beg the emperor to accept the remonstrances. But the emperor had made up his mind and did not allow Lu Gong to make remonstrations again. Lu Gong then said that as a minister in the court, he should give remonstrations for the country, and he would make remonstrations again and again until the emperor revokes his order, restores the Secretariat, and selects another capable minister as prime minister... The emperor was furious when he heard this, and directly ordered the Jinyiwei to imprison Lu Gong for the crime of deceiving the emperor..." Shen Weiyang's brain buzzed and he felt dizzy. Ivan hurried forward to support him.
"This situation still occurred..." Shen Weiyang was anxious and helpless: "Why is Lu Gong doing this?" …… In the evening of the third day. Zhao Wumian followed Zhu Biao and Yun Qi to lead the troops back to the capital, and the secret surveillance disappeared. He felt relaxed for the first time in a long time. The three of them went straight to the palace to report. Before they entered the Wuying Hall, they heard Zhu Yuanzhang's angry curses coming from inside: "Old bastard! Old bastard!! How dare he insult our future emperor! He keeps calling him a tyrant emperor and a weak emperor! If an emperor cannot do without a prime minister, then he is a fool! Old man, since you are looking for death, we will fulfill your wish! Someone come!" As soon as Zhu Biao heard it, he knew something was going to happen and rushed into the hall. Zhao Wumian stopped. In the past two days, he has been following Zhu Biao and Yun Qi, and is well-informed and knows exactly what is happening in the capital. These included Lin Xian's collusion with the Japanese, Yipintang being assigned to the rebel party, Fei's mansion being besieged, General Deng Yu being ordered to replace Fei Ju, Zhu Yuanzhang abolishing the Secretariat and the prime minister system, and the Minister of Revenue Lu Chang stroking the tiger's whiskers. Tang Shengzong and Lu Zhongheng were still on their way back to Beijing, so Zhu Yuanzhang did not directly label Fei Ju a traitor. He would wait until they arrived in Beijing before making an example of him. Zhao Wumian had read Lu Chang's advice, and actually what he said made sense. If the prime minister was abolished, what if a hundred years later, there was a tyrant or a weak emperor, and without the prime minister to support him, the emperor would have to rely entirely on his personal will. The government would inevitably become corrupt and the country would inevitably be in chaos. But no matter what, Zhu Yuanzhang obviously could not tolerate the prime minister sharing power, so there was no room for negotiation on this matter, and no matter who opposed it, it would be useless. Zhu Biao went in and tried to persuade him for a long time. Zhu finally calmed down a little and was too lazy to argue with those corrupt scholars. He thought that he had already been imprisoned in the imperial prison. He would release him after a few days when the matter was settled. It would be useless for Lu Chang to advise him again. "Come in, what are you doing blocking the entrance to the palace?" "Your humble servant Zhao Wumian pays respect to His Majesty." "Get up." Zhu Yuanzhang sat at the head of the table, looking down at Zhao Wumian, a smile on his face: "You did a good job this time, Yipintang and Jin Gang Sect, we arrested and killed those who were captured, the Crown Prince and Yunqi both recommended you for merit, we can't treat meritorious officials harshly, today I will make an exception and grant you grace, now, what do you want?" This means that the rewards will not go into the treasury of the Zhenfusi, but into the Imperial Palace. Zhao Wumian's eyes lit up. What he most urgently needs now is to increase his lifespan. The "2" on the panel is really an eyesore. Now is a rare opportunity, and since Zhu Yuanzhang has said it, he will definitely agree to it. Zhao Wumian immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty! I, your humble servant, would like to ask Your Majesty for a method that can prolong my life." It is definitely not your turn to enjoy the natural treasures that can add to your life, so you can only think of a way through practicing martial arts. This statement came out. The three people in the hall were stunned. Extend life? Zhu Yuanzhang was more and more puzzled: "How old are you? How did you think of this?" Zhao Wumian looks full of energy, so he shouldn't have to worry about his lifespan at all.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and said, "Is it because of your father? Zhao Qi is not old, is he?" Zhao Wumian couldn't explain why "God is jealous of talented people", so he could only bite the bullet and say "prevention is better than cure". Zhu Yuanzhang found it interesting and laughed out loud: "You are a little early! Seeking immortality, seeking immortality, how many people in ancient times can really prolong their lives? Most of them are just swindlers... Never mind, my word is as good as gold. Since you want this kind of skills, I will give you one. Biao'er." Zhu Biao thought for a moment and said, "There are indeed such techniques in the palace. Just as my father said, most of them are fake and fake, using the names of ancient sages such as Peng Zu and An Qisheng. However, there is a book called "The Book of Five Zang Organs", which is said to be written by the "Medicine Saint" Sun Simiao. It is said that it can stimulate the five internal organs of the human body, regenerate the organs, and prolong life. The Wutai School also includes this technique. It is said that Sima Quehun's unique skill "The Secret of Longevity" was greatly inspired by this technique. Maybe we can give it a try..." "The Secret of Immortality?" Zhao Wumian was stunned when he heard this, and repeated, "Your Highness is talking about Sima Quehun's creation of the "Eternal Life Secret"?!" Last time it was the "Nine Netherworlds and Mysterious Heavenly Divine Art", this time even the "Eternal Life Secret" was sewn in? This is really... Zhu Biao explained: "Of the so-called Seven Luminous Secret Arts, only five have appeared in the world and their names are known. You should have read the relevant information." Zhao Wumian nodded: "Kaiyang Hall's "Tian Gang Yi Qi", Yaoguang Hall's "Heaven and Earth as Soldiers", Tianji Hall's "Divine Pardon Footprints", Tianshu Hall's "Universe Sword Style", Tianxuan Hall's "Qian Kun Wu Mo"." "Yes." Zhu Biao said, "The remaining two are Yuheng Hall's "Eternal Life Secret" and Tianquan Hall's "Moving Stars and Changing Constellations". I'm not sure about the other martial arts, but based on the known information, "Eternal Life Secret" can indeed prolong life. Yuheng Hall Master Mo Youshan took the martial arts to a master at the age of 78, and lived to be over 100 years old thanks to this skill." What the hell! Is this an epic upgrade? Zhao Wumian was startled, and then thought to himself, no matter it is a duplicate name or copy and paste, as long as it is useful, it is a good thing! What Zhao Wumian lacks now is this kind of skills. The more effective the better. He immediately bowed to express his gratitude. Zhu Biao quickly went to the palace treasury to take out the secret book and gave it to Zhao Wumian. "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Your Highness." "You are really unexpected, kid." Zhu Yuanzhang had been watching from the side and said with a smile: "It is strange that you are not afraid of danger when doing your job and you have repeatedly faced challenges, but you are thinking about prolonging your life... Okay, the reward has been given, go back first, there are so many people to be tried in the imperial prison, you can't be idle, starting from tomorrow, follow Jiang Huan and others to try cases!" "Yes." Zhao Wumian left the Wuying Hall and couldn't wait to open the "Five Tibetan Classics". Hope it's useful. Zhao Wumian read it eagerly. (End of this chapter)
