Changsheng: I have been in Jiaofang Division for thousands of years

The Jiaofang Division was once again filled with a large number of family members of officials, and the business was booming for a while, and the garden was often full of spring during the day.

Many people thought that after the downfall of Prime Minister Zuo, the court would stabilize and everyone could breathe a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, after handling the Zuo Xiang's case, the court suddenly fell into a strange atmosphere.

At this time, everyone discovered that Xuan Jing Division had grown into a behemoth in recent years in order to fight against the Left Prime Minister.

Sun Zhengfeng, chief executive of the Xuanjing Division, has actually become another prime minister.

Everyone is guessing, what will the emperor do with Xuan Jingsi in the end?

"I don't know. The affairs in the court have nothing to do with us. Why worry so much?"

Zhao Mu took a sip of tea indifferently.

"Let me just say, it's useless to ask him."

Hua Xinzi rolled her eyes coquettishly: "This guy has the temperament of a wild crane. He has never thought about promotion, so naturally he doesn't care about any official battles."

"Isn't that good? Only by avoiding fighting can you live a long life." Zhao Mu smiled lightly.

"That's right, if you like fighting for power and profit, our life will not be so stable these years."

Hua Xinzi got up and cleared the table: "Let's go, let's go into the house, wait for the shopkeeper to bring the food, today we are still not drunk and will not return."

"You can't go home even if you're drunk!"

Jiang Hongyun immediately interjected, wrapping his arms around Zhao Mu: "Mr. Lang, how about watching the moon with my slave's house tonight?"

"Tsk tsk, it looks like I'm busy again tonight."

"Why, Mr. Lang is not willing?"

"Hey, why don't you want to?"

……

In the following period of time, the atmosphere in the hall became more and more serious, and everyone felt that a storm was about to come.

Even the emperor, who lived in seclusion in the palace all year round, showed up frequently these days, summoning his courtiers to discuss state affairs.

Just when everyone thought that the court was about to have another dispute.

A sudden news broke the stagnant water that was about to flood the court——

Sun Zhengfeng, chief executive of the Xuanjing Department, suddenly contracted a serious illness, and asked himself to step down as chief executive after reporting his illness.

But the Son of Heaven, as if he had expected it long ago, immediately ordered to dismantle the Xuanjing Division, and directly divided the Xuanjing Division into three yamen, the Xuanjing Division, the Xunfeng Division, and the Supervisory Yuan. Naturally, the power was greatly reduced.

The operation was so dazzling that many officials below did not react, and the matter was over.

Now everyone could see that the Son of Heaven and Sun Zhengfeng had obviously discussed it long ago, otherwise how could the latter be so ill?

Many people couldn't help sighing that Sun Zhengfeng is a really smart person.

After all, if he clings to power, his final fate may not be any better than Zuoxiang Wang Zongshi.

After the Xuanjing Division's matter was resolved, the emperor's mind returned to seeking longevity.

And this time he intensified his efforts, and directly issued an imperial decree to recruit famous doctors and alchemists from all over the country to refine the longevity medicine for himself.

All of a sudden, there appeared many flatterers in the court, who specialized in seeking longevity medicine for the emperor in exchange for power and position.

Many people have guessed that the Son of Heaven is likely to be near the end of his lifespan, otherwise, how could he not hesitate to be scolded as a faint king, and to issue the imperial decree to ask for medicine?

As time passed, even the Beimang Kingdom in the north, the Da Jinlun Kingdom in the west, and the Five Poison Sect in the south all heard about the absurd story of the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty asking for the elixir of longevity.

So half a year later, a group of envoys from Beimang Kingdom stepped into the bustling Dajin capital.

Chapter 16 The Great Vajra Pill

Nameless Tavern.

Hua Xinzi poured a glass of wine for Zhao Mu: "Have you heard? The envoys from the Northern Mang Kingdom have come to the capital. They offer the King Kong Pill in exchange for the opening of the Jin Dynasty to trade salt and iron with the Northern Mang Kingdom."

"Of course I heard about it. After all, no matter where I go these two days, people are talking about this matter."

Zhao Mu shook his head, and took a look at Hua Xinzi: "Isn't it hot to wear so much today?"

"Not serious."

Hua Xinzi rolled his eyes at him: "Seriously, do you think the imperial court will agree to Beimang Kingdom's conditions?"

Zhao Mu picked up the wine glass: "I definitely wouldn't agree before, but now...not necessarily!"

"I see, the imperial court will definitely agree!"

Jiang Hongyun interjected: "I heard that the Great Vajra Pill was refined by the whole country of the Beimang Kingdom. When it was made 30 years ago, there were only three pills, and one was used up by the high priest of the Totem Temple back then. .”

"It is said that the Great Vajra Pill can not only improve martial arts cultivation, but more importantly, it can add 20 years to a person's lifespan."

A sneer appeared on her pretty face: "Our son of heaven has been begging for longevity for the rest of his life and got nothing. Now that his lifespan is about to expire, how could he not agree to someone sending him a magic pill that can renew his life?"

"If this is the case, I am afraid that after more than ten years, Beimang Kingdom will go south to plunder again, and the people will suffer again."

Hua Xinzi sighed.

Beimang Kingdom is a nomadic country bordering on the north of the Great Jin Dynasty.

The domestic monarch has no real power, and all state affairs are controlled by the Totem Temple, and the high priest of the temple is the supreme leader of the Northern Mang Kingdom.

Historically, the Northern Mang Kingdom went south dozens of times, invaded the Great Jin Dynasty, burned, killed and looted. Although they were all beaten back in the end, they caused countless deaths and injuries to the people of the Great Jin Dynasty every time.

Therefore, in order to restrict the development of the Northern Mang Kingdom, the Great Jin Dynasty has always explicitly prohibited the trade of salt and iron with the Northern Mang Kingdom.

After all, as long as there is not enough salt and iron, the Northern Mang Kingdom will not have a good source of soldiers and sufficient weapons, and the threat to the Great Jin Dynasty will naturally weaken accordingly.

But once the trade of salt and iron is opened, the strength of Beimang Kingdom will expand rapidly.

Could it be that the "Longevity" emperor is really capable of doing such a thing as an enemy?

In fact, the reason why the Hunjun is a Hunjun is because of his absolute selfishness.

What national interest!

What a stable country!

What people are dying!

In their view, none of them are the most important, as long as they can get benefits, they really can do anything.

So not long after, the imperial court ordered the opening of the salt and iron trade with Beimang.

No matter whether the people yell at the faint emperor or the loyal officials die in court, they can't change the emperor's will.

So the envoy of Beimang Kingdom left the Great Vajra Pill and left the capital happily.

The emperor of Jin Dynasty ordered the whole country to celebrate, and wanted people all over the world to celebrate that he could prolong his life by 20 years.

But it is a pity that the common people are not happy, and the loyal ministers are not happy.

Even those who love her are not very happy.

Because the Son of Heaven prolongs his life by 20 years, the demand for the elixir of longevity is naturally not so urgent. How can the ones who are charming be promoted to rank?

As a result, an undercurrent began to surge in the court, and some people began to secretly link up with those charming people, letting them steal or even directly destroy the Great Vajra Pill.

That night, Zhao Mu left the Jiaofang Division and was going to sleep in the Nameless Tavern.

Walking on the dark street, he spread out the sound-hearing Gu, alert to any possible danger.

This is a habit he has developed by walking at night for many years.

Suddenly a few faint winds came, and Zhao Mu's footsteps stopped abruptly.

He knew very well that it was not a normal wind noise, but caused by the master's lightness kung fu piercing the air.

"The four of them, everyone's zhenqi is far superior to mine, and they should all be masters of the Acquired Extreme Realm. Tsk tsk, the recent capital city is really getting more and more chaotic."

Zhao Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, leaned against a dark corner, and observed the movements of the four people through the sound-hearing Gu.

Two hundred feet away, four figures quickly skipped across the roofs.

Three of them were masked in black and were chasing and killing an old eunuch.

"Old bastard, you can't escape, you'd better hurry up and get caught, and hand over the Great Vajra Pill."

A man in black shouted coldly.

The old eunuch looked ugly: "Who the hell are you? How do you know that the Great Vajra Pill is in our family?"

"You don't need to know about this, but your master is really daring to steal the Great Vajra Pill. If the emperor finds out, even his own father and son, he will die without a place to bury him, right?"

"Hmph, what kind of master, where did our family come from, you don't want to talk nonsense."

The old eunuch said with a cold snort.

"Really? It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, anyway, we know who your master is."

The three men in black sneered.

One of them speeded up several times in vain, directly over the head to block the old eunuch.

"Swallow, so handsome, copied water three times, with such lightness, you should have been able to catch up to our family long ago."

"It is indeed possible to catch up, but the previous place was not very convenient, but now...you should die!"

Before the words were finished, the three men in black launched a siege on the old eunuch.

All four of them are masters at the Acquired Ultimate Realm. With three against one, the old eunuch fell into a desperate situation with just a dozen or so moves.

Seeing that he was about to be killed by the other party, the old eunuch seemed to have bitten something in his mouth, and suddenly spewed out a big mouthful of blue mist.

The three men in black were caught off guard and immediately inhaled the blue mist into their mouths and noses.

"poisonous?"

The faces of the three of them changed drastically, and they immediately attacked with all their strength, spitting out a mouthful of blood from the old eunuch, and fell to the ground with serious injuries.

But they themselves couldn't hold it anymore, and fell to the ground one after another, their faces turning blue and gradually losing their breath.

"Cough cough!"

The old eunuch was still vomiting blood, and stood up tremblingly while leaning on the wall: "Fortunately, the poison was prepared in advance, otherwise our family would surely die if the three masters from the acquired extreme realm attacked us."

He touched his chest and let out a long breath: "It's okay, I finally survived, and now I must send the Great Vajra Pill to the Lord as soon as possible, and there must be no delay...who?"

He changed color in shock, and turned around hastily.

He saw a figure rushing towards him quickly, his palms came out of the sea like a dragon, and slapped him hard on the chest.

puff!

The old eunuch spewed out another big mouthful of blood, and the whole person flew upside down and hit the ground hard.

His face was as white as paper, and he looked at his attacker in shock: "Who are you?"

"Do you think I'll tell you?"

Zhao Mu covered his face with a black cloth, and walked into the old eunuch step by step: "I didn't expect to come out and walk around, and there is still a chance to get the Great Vajra Pill, tsk tsk, it seems that my luck is really good recently."

"Damn it, if you dare to snatch the Great Vajra Pill, aren't you afraid that the emperor will punish you?"

The old eunuch looked ugly.

"As long as I kill you, who will know what happened tonight?"

While Zhao Mu was speaking, his body shot out again, and he came in front of the old eunuch in an instant.

"Hahaha, you've been tricked!"

The old eunuch laughed wildly, and waved his hand, another thick blue mist sprayed out, trying to poison Zhao Mu to death.

But what he didn't expect was that Zhao Mu ignored the poison at all, and slapped him on the head directly through the blue mist.

boom!

The skull of the old eunuch cracked and he died.

"Hehe, poisonous things just want to kill me. Do you think I learned the "King of Medicine" all these years for nothing?"

Zhao Mu sneered, took out a small black box from the old eunuch's arms, opened it and found the Great Vajra Pill inside.

He took out the corpse powder he had prepared and sprinkled it on the old eunuch and the three men in black.

The stench filled the streets, and the four corpses were quickly corroded and riddled with holes.
