The emperor is embarrassed

Saza is very young, he is as old as Hamur, but only a few months younger than Hamur.

Sword eyebrows, eagle eyes, thin lips, straight nose, handsome stature, wearing a Tatar-style robe, not inlaid with gold and silver, just an ordinary gray cloth robe, with black hair sloppily tied behind his head with a gold ring, sharp eyes Between looking and looking, it gives people infinite deterrence.

Zhang Shu came from a long distance, and he rode fast again, with a tired look on his face, but he was in good spirits. After saluting, he shouted, "Chen Zhang Shu honors His Majesty of the Celestial Dynasty to go to Tatar and meet His Royal Highness."

Saza's eagle eyes were half-closed, his face refused to get angry, but his voice was cold, "Sir, what is your name Ben Khan?" The voice was extremely threatening and explosive, as if he was about to kill and bloodthirsty.

Zhang Shu was quite courageous, and under the oppression of this momentum, his face remained unchanged, and he said neither humble nor overbearing, "I heard that the nobleman Khan passed away, and the Tatar Dynasty was subordinate to the Celestial Dynasty. His Majesty the Emperor has never received the Tatar Credentials, and has not issued a gift. Jue imperial decree, so I don't know who the new Khan is."

Saza snorted coldly, "You are very bold."

Zhang Shu clearly understood that he represented the imperial court, not to mention that the Tatar people were tough and had always admired warriors, if they showed timidity, they would be looked down upon.Therefore, Zhang Shu said calmly, "Thank you for your compliment, Prince. Your courage is not bad."

Zhang Shu has the most complete psychological construction during his mission to Tatar this time.

Saza snorted and said with a sneer, "One day, Ben Khan will personally lead troops into the imperial capital, and your emperor will naturally write an edict for Ben Khan."

As far as lip service is concerned, the Tatars have no chance of being compared with the people of the imperial capital.Zhang Shu said calmly, "His Royal Highness led the army to knock on the border, and His Royal Highness knew all about the result, so there is no need for me to say more. Now, my Majesty sent a minister to ask His Highness, why did you violate the border without any reason and tear up the friendship treaty?" ?”

Saza said coldly, "You Han people have always been cunning, and the things you gave Ben Khan were all rags eaten by moths and rats. Ben Khan will lead his troops to seek justice from your Milkman Emperor."

Zhang Shu snorted, "Your Highness, please understand a little bit more. My Majesty is magnificent and majestic, and his wisdom and wisdom are beyond the reach of a prince. Otherwise, my Majesty will not be able to capture your third prince, His Highness Hamur alive! Furthermore The trade between Tatars and us has always been your wish, and the goods I sell are all carefully inspected by you Tatars before paying for it. Since it is not good, why didn't you mention it at that time, but rashly offend me Border town! From this we can see that what the prince said is really wrong, not the truth!"

Saza didn't bother to listen to Zhang Shu's ramblings. When he first heard Hamur's name, Saza's complexion turned cold suddenly, and his eagle-like eyes shot out a sharp arrow-like light, which was almost devouring.Before Saza could speak, another Tatar nobleman beside him asked in a voiceless voice, "Is Hamur not dead?"

Saza said decisively, "Evidently, I have seen the corpse of the third brother, the Han people have always been cunning, how can I trust my uncle? Don't fall for the tricks of the Han people!"

Zhang Shu was young and quick-witted. He immediately seized this opportunity and swore, "Your prince cannot believe what you say. Now that Prince Hamur is visiting our heavenly court, my Majesty treats Prince Hamur like a brother. Prince Hamur and Your Highness is a brother of the same father, if you know that His Highness hopes for his early death, I don't know how heartbroken it would be!"

"Furthermore, the minister is carrying a letter personally written by Prince Hamur for His Highness to read with all the adults!"

Zhang Shu was about to win the trust, Saza gave the guard around him a wink, and the guard walked up to Zhang Shu.It was the first time for Zhang Shu to go on a diplomatic mission, although he was calm and composed during his experience in the court, but he was extremely nervous, so naturally he saw Saza's expression right.

Ming Zhan explained Hamur's status in Tatar and his relationship with Saza.Moreover, judging from Saza's words, he must hope that Hamur will die soon.Judging from what Saza said about finding Hamur's body, it is not easy for Saza to admit that Hamur is alive.

After all, Zhang Shu only had Hamur's handwritten letter on him.

Zhang Shu thought in his heart, he is a shrewd person, and immediately said loudly, "I heard from Prince Hamur that he and his uncle Chen Jingzhong have always had a strong relationship."

The middle-aged aristocrat who asked about Hamur's life and death just now lost his voice, his face moved slightly, and he sighed, "Yes, Hamur used to learn Han poetry from me when I was young."

Zhang Shu had an idea, and said loudly again, "Prince Hamur told the servants that this matter must be delivered to His Royal Highness Chen Wang himself."

Here in Tatar, the king is not worth much, just train a few thousand horses, occupy a piece of grassland and proclaim yourself king.

At this moment, Saza's face faded away from the domineering anger, and became unpredictable. He leaned on the throne and glanced at Chen Jingzhong casually.A trace of inexplicable emotion flashed in Chen Jingzhong's eyes, and he got up to take the letter from Zhang Shu himself.

Saza directly ordered, "The envoy came from a long distance, and he must be tired. Set up a tent for the envoy to live in. We will talk about the matter later."

Zhang Shu flatly refused, "Your Highness, I have not yet greeted you with my letter of credence to Your Majesty, how can I retire and rest in peace."

"Okay, hand over your credentials, and you can go to rest." Saza snorted coldly, with a strong sense of threat, "If you don't want to go to rest and sleep by yourself, why don't Ben Khan send someone to take you there."

This kind of savage doesn't understand the slightest bit of etiquette.

After all, it was someone else's territory, so Zhang Shu didn't dare to confront Saza head-on.The reason why Saza was anxious to repel him was nothing more than the next thing, and it was inconvenient for him to participate. It seems that there must be a dispute between Saza and Chen Jingzhong about Hamur!

At this time, Zhang Shu still insisted on the decency of his envoy. He said, "Your Majesty, the ten thousand chariots of our country, is gracious to the world. Prince Hamur's letter is a private letter. My letter of credence is related to the dignity of my majesty. If His Royal Highness If you can't descend to meet with the highest ceremony, you will never be able to present your credentials!"

After saying this, Zhang Shu turned around and left with his subordinates.

It seems that the Tatars are indeed not united and stable enough, Zhang Shu secretly calculated in his heart.Although he needs to wash and rest, but at this moment, he needs to do something more.

imperial capital.

Qian Yongdao was originally in good shape, although his hair and beard were all white, but he was still tough.Because Ming Zhan wanted to ask him to preside over some revision ceremony, he was not very happy, so he repeatedly excused himself by citing his age.

In fact, if you want to say that this scholar has a lot of eyes.If Qian Yongdao didn't hold his airs, he couldn't believe it himself.All scholars hope to receive the same treatment as Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang is a master with a lot of thieves.

Come to think of it, if Uncle Liu went to the thatched hut for the first time, and Zhuge Liang would follow the uncle out of the mountain as soon as he opened his mouth, then his status in the Liu Group would definitely not be below one person and among ten thousand people. on the honorable.Just like this, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei still had a lot of dissatisfaction with Zhuge Liang when he was a child of Liu Bei.

Qian Yongdao's seat is equally awkward.

His knowledge, speaking of it, must be praised as good, profound, and great Confucianism.

However, he is only famous in Huaiyang area.Although the people in the north also know him, but if we really want to say that they respect and admire him, they are far behind the people in the south.

What's more, learning is not the first thing, and martial arts is not the second.

The Celestial Dynasty has a vast territory, and there are many learned people, and no one can say that he has really mastered it.

Qian Yongdao is well-known in the south, but there is also the Imperial Academy in the court.

Who can enter the Hanlin Academy is not a person with talent and learning.Sanding Jia must enter the Hanlin, and those old Hanlin who have repaired books and whitened their beards are also people who have been learning all their lives.

Qian Yongdao dared to say that his knowledge must be better than anyone else.

Furthermore, the sages of Confucius all said that if three people walk together, there must be my teacher.

In this kind of social atmosphere where humility is the beauty, Qian Yongdao naturally has to be careful.

What's more, Qian Yongdao really didn't take the big pawn that the emperor wanted to repair seriously. In his opinion, it was just a catalog for the world's collection of books.Qian Yongdao's interest in this matter is really not too strong.

It's just that the emperor is the emperor after all.

The king wants his ministers to die, and his ministers have to die.

The emperor invited him many times, and some students tried to persuade him. Qian Yongdao really never had the dream of asking the emperor to invite him down. He just felt that he couldn't refuse. I can't leave, so I have to agree.

This kind of gesture of having to comply sounds like a kind of helplessness, but, after all, this is an errand sent by the emperor himself.Even the young Qian Yongdao, the heart of a scholar in his chest must have bred a touch of complacency out of impatience.

Look, he is the only scholar in the world who has this faction.

The emperor's kindness cannot be rejected, and he cannot.

Qian Yongdao accepted this task, but unexpectedly, the emperor changed the subject, and he directly changed from the No.1 presiding over the editorial ceremony to a consultant.

consultant.

This kind of official position has never appeared in the history of the imperial capital before.After the emperor's explanation, Qian Yongdao realized that he was just helping others when they were working.

This gap, this unspeakable gap, caused Qian Yongdao to fall into a long silence after a deep sigh.

Ming Zhan is amazing, Qian Yongdao just realized it.

In order to show the emperor's virtuous corporal and his admiration for scholars, after using Qian Yongdao as a cover, Ming Zhan made an exception and took Qian Duanyu by his side as a bodyguard, rewarding him with a sixth-rank official position.This time Ming Zhan didn't ask Qian Yongdao what he meant, he directly ordered.

The Qian family didn't say anything except accepting the order to thank them.

In the eyes of outsiders, the emperor was too kind to the Qian family.Qian Yongdao, however, was thrilling, and directly conferring an official, which is naturally rare for others, but for Qian Yongdao, who wholeheartedly wanted his youngest son to be promoted in the imperial examination, this was not good news.

In this world, there is still a group of people who are not promoted through the imperial examination, but they can also be high-ranking officials.This kind of people, they are the favored and trusted ministers of the emperor's side, and they want to take the emperor's favor as the rank of promotion.

However, don't forget the rules of the court, non-jinshi are not allowed to enter the Imperial Academy, and non-Hanlin are not allowed to enter the cabinet.

If you don't have the diploma of Jinshi, it is a dream to think about Xuanma and worship in the future!

Although Qian Yongdao has a fairy-like appearance, and he himself regards himself as a wild crane, but a person who only asks his son to be the number one scholar in the exam, can you say that this person has no ambitions?

In Ming Zhan's view, a truly unambitious person would never ask his son to take the imperial examination.

Ming Zhan didn't know what the Qian family was going to do and what their plan was.Ming Zhan thought that he didn't need to be clear about these insignificant things, what he wanted to do was to disrupt the arrangements of the Qian family.

He wants the Qian family to understand what is imperial power!These so-called scholars and Confucians, what kind of posture should they behave in front of the kingship to be considered decent!

Ming Zhan gave the Qian family grace, but choked Qian Yongdao by the throat.

The emperor's methods are unpredictable so far, how can Qian Yongdao not be thrilled, and lose his color!

Ming Zhan assigned Qian Duanyu to Fang Shenxing's subordinates, and went to watch the three Taoist priests in the alchemy room make alchemy.

This time, the Great Returning Pill that Ming Zhan wanted took a long time to refine, and it was extremely difficult. It took ninety-nine and 81 days to open the furnace. Moreover, Kunlunzi and Qingcheng Layman had their words first, and the process of this Great Returning Pill was also trivial. It's extremely difficult, ten batches of pills are returned, and it is a godsend to get one batch.

This means that although they are alchemy, it does not necessarily guarantee success.The emperor was enlightened and ordered to prepare the things for alchemy, and let them do the rest.

Speaking of which, before the arrival of Layman Qingcheng and Kunlunzi, Ming Zhan often used Xiaohuandan.

Daoren Zhong's forte lies in refining small pills.

But now there are two more competitors, Qingcheng Layman and Kunlunzi are latecomers, but they are not very friendly. Every time Ming Zhan comes to Danfang to check the progress, these two people talk to their senior Zhong Daoren He has some doubts about his alchemy method.And the two teamed up to promote Da Huan Dan to cure all diseases and strengthen the body.Although you can't immediately become a fairy after eating it, it can also prolong your life.

According to Qingcheng Layman and Kunlun Zidao, one grain of this big redemption pill can be worth ten small red pills.

Of course Ming Zhan is better.

Right now, Taoists are ordering Taoists to refine the Great Repayment Pill, if Taoist Zhong says he can't do it, he seems to lose his status, and he is afraid that he will be run out of the palace by these two people, and his reputation will be ruined.

Layman Qingcheng saw Daoist Zhong's thoughts, stroked his beard and said with a smile, "I mean I have practiced several batches of Great Returning Pills in the mountains, if brother Daoist Zhong is not good at this way, you can use Taoism first to fix your majesty's electric light. This action can also relieve His Majesty's worries."

When Daoist Zhong heard this, his hair stood on end.

He had also heard about the electric light. Out of the twenty Taoists who took the exam, Qingcheng and Xiaoyao were the only ones left, all because of the electric light.At this moment, Daoist Zhong understood that these two people were here for revenge.

Daoren Zhong asked himself whether his fate was three points stronger than the two of Qingcheng and Kunlun, but in front of the emperor, you can't show your timidity.Taoist Zhong has also been wandering in the rivers and lakes for a long time, so he immediately changed his mind, bit the bullet and boasted in front of Ming Zhan, "The Daoist can still support the matter of the Great Returning Pill, but the Taoist just refined a batch of Small Returning Pills." For imperial use, most of the Daoist methods have been consumed, and there is no longer any support. If you want to refine the Great Returning Pill, you need to wait for the Taoist to cultivate for sixty-six or thirty-six days before you can do your best for His Majesty."

He didn't know the formula of the Great Return Pill boasted by Qingcheng Kunlun, but at this time, he had to delay for a while, find a way to delay the attack, find another measure, and untie the noose set by these two Taoists, so that he can survive.

Ming Zhan is a Ming Jun, how can Ming Jun not be considerate of his subordinates?

Alright, Taoist Zhong, you are tired, you should rest first.Qingcheng Kunlun, you have started to refine the Great Repayment Pill.

Just when His Majesty the Emperor was waiting for the Da Huan Pill to be released, there was a thunderbolt in the Pill Room, the misfortune came from within, and a sex scandal spread.

It is also Qian Duanyu's bad luck, a weak scholar, who was sent to Danfang by Ming Zhan.After changing into the bodyguard uniform, although he can only show some flair, he is quite conscientious.

He's just here again, and he's very obedient.

Fang Shenxing has been educated, and now he has such an elegant and polite bodyguard. When he inquired, he is the youngest son of Qian Yongdao who is famous in the imperial capital.Speaking of speaking, Qian Duanyu also understood the height of his eyebrows, so Fang Shenxing had a good impression of Qian Duanyu.

Qian Duanyu, in fact, has a problem. He likes to read books and ask for deep understanding.

Alchemy has actually existed since ancient times.Modern people say it is feudal and superstitious, but the ancients didn't think so.Lao Tzu is the founder of Taoism, and Taoists like to make pills and balls for nothing.

Although Qian Duanyu is young, he has read extensively and has a little understanding of Taoist health preservation and alchemy.

He's at a curious age now, and he's in charge of it.Near the water tower, people who have nothing to do often hang around in the pill room, and even take a look at the formula of Dahuan Dan.

Qian Duanyu was under Fang Shenxing's command, and got Fang Shenxing's favor. The three Taoists were a little afraid of Fang Shenxing, so although they felt that Qian Duanyu talked a lot and asked a lot of questions, they often asked questions, and they were speechless. ,Very annoying.However, because of Fang Shenxing, they did not dare to do anything with Qian Duanyu.

To say that these three Taoists are now favored and have some right to speak in front of the emperor, how could they be afraid that Fang Shenxing will give a small fifth rank to the matter.

Speaking of which, although His Majesty the Emperor trusted them a lot, the rewards were extremely generous.But Fang Shenxing didn't seem to take their abilities seriously.These three people often had disputes, and they were also popular in the imperial court, so they didn't take Fang Shenxing seriously before.

However, Fang Shenxing was able to tightly suppress the three god sticks, so naturally he had a means.

The method is quite simple.

Fang Shenxing would always say something when he had nothing to do, "The emperor's electric lamp, I still don't have a clue. Since the immortals appear, there must be some immortal elders who are skilled in Taoism. You three elders , if anyone can solve the matter of the electric lamp for the emperor, the emperor will definitely reward him heavily."

As soon as Fang Shenxing said this, even though there was a huge conflict between the three of them, they immediately fell silent.

Therefore, even if someone wanted to suppress Fang Shenxing, because of Fang Shenxing's words, they had to gradually extinguish their ambitions.

And talk about sex scandals.

Fang Shenxing was chatting with his brothers in the lounge of the alchemy room. They had nothing to do on weekdays, so they just took care of alchemy.But alchemy is mainly the work of Taoist priests, so these guards are extremely free.

At this moment, when a group of hot-blooded men were discussing the gentleness of Qinlou and Chuguan, Daoren Zhong came over in a panic, raised his body, and hurriedly said, "Lord Fang, something is wrong, go and take a look." , that beast in Qingcheng is being rude to Mr. Qian!"

Daoist Zhong couldn't speak clearly, he just stomped his feet and sighed, "Beast, oh beast!"

Fang Shenxing is in charge of the alchemy room. If there is anything wrong, the emperor will use him to ask.At this time, Fang Shenxing hurriedly led people over.

At this moment, before anything happened, he saw Qingcheng Taoist pressing Qian Duanyu on the couch, his face was flushed with a beast face, and he was in a hurry to untie Young Master Qian's belt.

Who is Mr. Little Qian? He is a young master who was pampered at home from a scholarly family. Where has he seen such a thing.After all, Qian Duanyu is also a man, struggling desperately.It's just that those who walk the rivers and lakes generally have practiced some skills, and Mr. Xiaoqian couldn't break free from the restraint of Taoist Qingcheng for a while.

Fang Shenxing was also a scholar, but he was quite quick-witted. He picked up a bronze tripod on the table, stepped forward, and slammed the Qingcheng Taoist on the back of the head.With a bang, half of the person's head was bleeding, and he passed out.The rest of the guards hurried forward and tied up the fainted Taoist Qingcheng with all their hands and feet.

Qian Duanyu couldn't hide his embarrassment and anger on his face. However, he came from an aristocratic family, and it was rare for him to remain calm when encountering such a situation. He brushed off his crumpled guard uniform and said calmly, "I don't know what kind of medicine Qingcheng Taoist took. Suddenly I don't even recognize anyone. Don't touch the tea and water in this room, someone will check the reason!"

Fang Shenxing began to worry about directly ordering Taoist Qingcheng to be detained.

Scandal scandal.

A complete sex scandal!

Or the sex scandal that happened when the fairy took drugs and attempted to rape the imperial guards!

Since these three Taoist priests entered the palace, Fang Shenxing has become the public enemy of the courtiers, a recognized treacherous evil.

At this time, such a shameful thing happened among Taoist priests.If it is exposed to the wind, the courtiers will definitely seize such clues and attack him desperately.

What should I do at this time?

And Qian Duanyu, if he keeps this matter secret, can Qian Duanyu listen?

For Qian Duanyu, this kind of thing spread out because of his reputation, not to mention that Qian Duanyu was still young, Fang Shenxing was still sure to persuade Qian Duanyu.

However, even if Qian Duanyu is willing to listen, what about that Zhong Taoist?

Fang Shenxing would never believe it if he said that Taoist Zhong had nothing to do with this matter!

Kunlunzi and Taoist Qingcheng practiced alchemy for the sage, and in a few months, the first furnace of alchemy was about to be opened. At this time, Taoist Qingcheng had a style scandal.How could the Emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan eat a pill made by a drug addict who had attempted to rape him!

Also, this kind of character is simply called a fairy!

Now, Taoist Qingcheng couldn't keep it.

The Taoist of Qingcheng went down, and the one who benefited the most was Taoist Zhong.

Daoist Zhong ran to the lounge and yelled that he wanted to make things worse and kill the Qingcheng layman!Otherwise, even Fang Shenxing could knock Qingcheng Layman unconscious all at once, why wouldn't Taoist Zhong not save Qian Duanyu first, but go and shout for someone first!

The method is bad, but it works!

Poor thing, except for Taoist Qingcheng who got caught in the trap, it was the innocent Qian Duanyu who fell into the trap!

Moreover, Fang Shenxing didn't have the guts to hide Ming Zhan.

The time he has been transferred to the alchemy room is still short, and even his subordinates cannot guarantee that all of them will be so obedient.

It has happened, and it is useless to conceal it.

Fang Shenxing wanted to go to the king to report the matter, but unexpectedly, the holy king was not at home, and he went out with his wife in good spirits to fight the mistress.
