Start practicing from marrying the disfigured princess

Not next spring.

This is the moment.

Most of the world knows his name.

Wait until next spring.

The major forces in the world came to their senses and realized how much of a threat the existence of the Demon-Suppressing Division was to them.

My peaceful life has come to an end.

Ren Pingsheng slandered in his heart, but his expression did not change at all. He bowed solemnly: "I retire!"

After saying that, he was about to turn around and leave.

Before he even took a step, he heard a deep voice coming from outside.

"Your Majesty, Chu Chao'an, would like to see you!"

Chu Chaoan, the head of hundreds of officials and the chief minister of the cabinet?

Hearing this name, Ren Pingsheng paused in his steps.

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Zhaowu's voice was heard.

"allow."

The words fell.

An old man with white beard wearing a scarlet robe and regular features walked in, bowed to Emperor Zhaowu, and then remained silent.

"What's the matter with Mr. Chu Ge?"

Emperor Zhaowu asked.

Chu Chaoan glanced at Ren Pingsheng, looking like he was hesitant to speak.

Notice this scene.

Ren Pingsheng stopped staying and strode out of the study.

In the study.

Chu Chaoan waited for Ren Shengsheng to walk far away. His old face showed a solemn look. He looked at Emperor Zhaowu and said seriously:

"Your Majesty, we have an urgent report from eight hundred miles away. The King of Zhenbei has stationed 100,000 troops outside Ningzhou City, 50,000 of whom are elite cavalry!"

The troops and horses in the north are strong.

A hundred thousand troops were stationed, enough to threaten the safety of the imperial court.

Therefore.

After getting this news.

Chu Chaoan suppressed the news without discussing it with anyone, and went straight to Qianqing Palace to report to the emperor.

I thought that Emperor Zhaowu would look serious after hearing this, or else he would frown.

Unexpectedly, he still looked calm and indifferent, as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all, and said casually: "Let's make it clear, how many miles outside Ningzhou City are these 100,000 people? Within the Northern Territory, or beyond the Northern Territory?”

Chu Chaoan obviously did not expect that His Majesty the Emperor would ask this question. After being stunned for a few seconds, he replied: "It is still within the northern border, but it is less than fifty miles away from Ningzhou City."

Ningzhou is next to Youzhou in the north.

The distance between the two cities is no more than a hundred miles.

Emperor Zhaowu picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said leisurely: "Having not crossed the northern border, it has not broken the agreement between King Zhenbei and me. There is no need to make a fuss. I ordered the prefect of Ningzhou to send someone to observe their movements every twenty days. , report to the court once.”

"this……"

Chu Chaoan was a little confused.

That's a hundred thousand troops.

There are also 50,000 elite cavalry.

Just send people to observe their movements?

After hesitating for a few seconds, he still suggested: "I think it's time to select a general and lead 50,000 troops to Ningzhou to be prepared..."

Emperor Zhaowu glanced at him and said calmly: "No need."

Just two words, but Chu Chaoan could smell the imminent storm.

He was silent for a while, said no more, and bowed solemnly: "I take my leave."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

at this time.

Emperor Zhaowu suddenly called him: "Mr. Chu Ge..."

Chu Chaoan's body trembled slightly and he saluted, "I'm here."

Emperor Zhaowu said: "If I remember correctly, Mr. Chuge has been in charge of the cabinet for twelve years."

Chu Chaoan replied: "Reporting to your majesty, after careful calculation, by the beginning of next spring, it will have just been twelve years."

Emperor Zhaowu said: "In the past twelve years, you have worked hard for the court and devoted yourself to me. I see it in my eyes and remember it in my heart..."

The words fell.

Chu Chaoan's old face showed emotion, his old eyes filled with tears, he bowed deeply and called out: "Your Majesty..."

Emperor Zhaowu stood up, walked to him, looked at him condescendingly, and said leisurely: "In the past twelve years, the six ministries and nine ministers and officials from various places have done the same with many of your disciples and former officials. Now they have all become members of the imperial court. The pillar of talent..."

The words are not finished yet.

Chu Chaoan realized something and said in a trembling voice: "Most of the officials in the six ministries and nine ministers and local government offices entered the imperial court through the imperial examination. They are the disciples of the emperor, not the disciples and former officials of the ministers.

It is true that officials below the third rank must be promoted through the cabinet, but..."

Emperor Zhaowu interrupted: "I don't want to reprimand you. Generally speaking, you have led the cabinet over the past few years without any major faults. The responsibility for the management of officials does not lie with you, but with me..."

"His Majesty……"

"Listen to me."

As soon as these words came out.

Chu Chaoan knew that His Majesty had made a decision to take action on him, to shock the officials and rectify the administration.

It was quiet for a moment.

The old face became more weathered, and there was a look of exhaustion between his brows.

Seeing him like this, Emperor Zhaowu said no more and waved his hand: "When you go back, write a resignation letter. I allow you to retire and return to your hometown to spend your remaining years in peace."

Chu Chaoan was slightly startled, raised his eyes to look at Emperor Zhaowu, and bowed again: "My lord... thank you for your kindness!"

…………

the other side.

Ren Pingsheng left the palace and walked on the bustling Sajin Street.

Think back to everything that just happened in the palace.

Gradually I came back to my senses.

If nothing unexpected happens.

Emperor Zhaowu should have reached an agreement with the demon clan.

Within a certain period of time, the demon clan is not allowed to invade the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In this way, he can free up his hands to clean up the house properly.

It's quite a bit like having something to do before going to a foreign country.

If you think about it carefully, there is a big difference.

Don’t say anything else.

Just talk about the officials in Shizhou Prefecture.

Which one is not colluding with the local powerful, oppressing the people, and doing all kinds of evil?

It's just a matter of collecting food and salary and distributing it to Shizhou Prefecture, so the pressure is not that great.

As a result, they ate in and out, and forced the poor people to line up outside the city.

It's really hateful!

"Those son-of-a-bitch local officials should really be punished."

Ren Pingsheng thought so.

Suddenly, I heard passers-by chatting on the roadside making surprised sounds.

"What? King Zhenbei wants to rebel?"

"?"

I heard this unexpectedly.

Ren Pingsheng's footsteps paused and he looked along the sound.

I saw two fat-bellied businessmen standing side by side, walking towards the restaurant.

"The King of Zhenbei is planning to rebel... Hehe, I, the son, didn't hear about it, but you guys knew about it first."

Ren Pingsheng cursed in his heart, but didn't take it to heart. He looked away and continued walking back.

As soon as he took a step forward, he heard the merchant say again:

"Why should I lie to you? From Yunzhou to Youzhou, the road stretches for dozens of miles. They are all cavalry from the northern border. There must be tens of thousands of people at least.

All of them were wearing battle armor and looking menacing, just rushing to fight.

They don't avoid people either, they just take the official road, and I'm not the only one they see. Just ask anyone who has just returned from the north and you will know! "

Don't say it.

It really sounds like that.

Ren Pingsheng's expression changed slightly, and he was murmuring in his heart, muttering to himself: "Can the old guy really not care about his son's life and death, and rebelling at this juncture?"

After thinking for a few seconds.

He came to the man and said in a gentle tone: "How do you know that those cavalry went to Youzhou to rebel?"

The merchant said casually: "Youzhou and Ningzhou are only a hundred miles apart. In just one day, the army from the north can move south. If there is no rebellion, why move the army to Youzhou?"

Ren Pingsheng said: "It is common for the army to change its location. Furthermore, if King Zhenbei really intends to rebel, it will never be noticed..."

Didn't say a few words.

The merchant became a little impatient and frowned: "Who are you? How can you be sure that King Zhenbei's rebellion will not be noticed? Is it possible that he wrote a letter to inform you before he rebelled?"

The words fell.

The person traveling with him tugged on his arm and winked at him wildly: "Ahem..."

The businessman looked puzzled: "What's wrong with your eyes?"

"..."

The people walking with him were speechless and could only face Ren Pingsheng and salute respectfully: "Greetings to His Highness the Crown Prince."

After a pause, he added: "This man is crazy and talks nonsense. I don't know him..."

"His Royal Highness?"

The merchant was startled for a moment, and then he realized something. His eyes looking at Ren Pingsheng were full of surprise and fear, and his knees were a little weak.

"Little, little..."

"Rebellion is not a trivial matter. If it is a rumor and the court investigates it, you will be committing a serious crime."

Ren Pingsheng looked at the merchant and said calmly.

When the merchant heard this, his face turned pale with fright: "Xiao, Xiao, I know I was wrong. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, has a lot of money. Please spare me this time."

As he said that, his knees softened and he knelt directly on the ground.

Arranging vassal kings is a serious crime.

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sends him to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.

He was just afraid that he would come out without his life.

This is the thought.

His face became paler and his body continued to tremble.

Through the performance of this merchant.

Ren Pingsheng has almost concluded that what he just described is all facts.

There is indeed a northern army that went south to station in Youzhou.

Rebellion shouldn't be possible.

In that old guy's way.

If they really want to rebel, they will never let these merchants return to the capital alive.

It is impossible to mobilize only so many cavalry.

Since it is not a rebellion, why is it so?

He frowned slightly, with a thoughtful look on his face.

After a while, he suddenly thought of something and murmured to himself: "Could it be related to the emperor's desire to rectify the administration of officials?"

Thinking like this, he saw that the merchant kneeling in front of him was frightened to the point of losing his mind and bursting into tears.

"Watch your mouth, don't say anything you shouldn't."

Ren Pingsheng didn't embarrass him too much. He said casually and turned to leave.

Even a small businessman knows about the transfer of the Northern Cavalry.

It is impossible for the emperor to be unclear.

If the old guy really wants to rebel.

I am afraid that I have already been controlled.

Since it is not a rebellion, what he does specifically has nothing to do with him in the short term.

Whatever you should do.

Be at ease and be your own proton.

Such wild thoughts.

Unknowingly.

Ren Pingsheng has returned to the mansion.

Go into the courtyard.

Jiang Chuyue had just finished walking the little white dog and was tying it to the door frame.

I can tell.

Little Green Tea really doesn't have anything to do on weekdays, and is bored all day long, so she always torments Little White Dog in different ways.

fair enough.

As time goes by, you may not be able to tame it without using any means.

"Have a good rest. After a while, my sister will take you out to play."

Jiang Chuyue reached out and caressed the dog's head. She looked up and saw Ren Pingsheng standing behind her.

Ren Pingsheng asked: "Are you going out?"

"Uh-huh."

Jiang Chuyue nodded lightly.

Ren Pingsheng hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Where to go?"

Jiang Chuyue said: "It snowed all day and night. My senior sister and I plan to go out of the city to see the snow scene and build a snowman."

Look at the snow scene.

Make a snowman.

Need to get out of town?

Ren Pingsheng knew that they were hiding something from him.

After thinking for a few seconds, he said, "Wait here."

After saying that, he turned around and walked into the house.

After a moment, he took out a few talisman papers and handed them to her. He said seriously: "The first two talisman papers, when lit, are equivalent to a full-strength strike of a fifth-grade monk. The middle two talisman papers, when attached to the body, can hide the breath. , even extraordinary monks may not be able to detect it.

After the last talisman paper is lit, the talisman paper in my hand will also burn and point to the position of the other talisman paper.

Tell my wife, if you encounter trouble that cannot be solved outside the city, you can light the talisman and I will arrive as soon as possible. "

These talismans were given to him by the Little Heavenly Master, but he never had the chance to use them.

Now that I have been promoted to the sixth level, I don't need it any more, so I just leave it to Little Green Tea.

After all, although she has the power of fifth-grade perfection, she has not recovered from her serious injuries and her strength has been greatly reduced.

In a short period of time, these talisman papers can still be of some use.

Looking at the talisman handed over by Ren Pingsheng.

Jiang Chuyue was slightly startled, and then her eyes lit up.

"Don't worry, Prince, I'm just going to see the scenery, there won't be any danger..."

After saying that, he reached out to take the talisman, blinked, and said with a smile: "But I still have to thank the prince for his concern."

Ren Pingsheng said calmly: "These are for you to give to Madam, not for you. You don't need to thank me."

"..."

Jiang Chuyue's smile faltered and she was speechless for a long time.

Ren Pingsheng ignored her, returned to the house, took out the Hong Ming Dao, and began to hone his martial arts skills.

A cold light suddenly appeared.

Shadowy.

Faintly, it seems that the dragon's roar can be heard.

in front of the door.

The little white dog opened his tired eyes and looked up at Ren Pingsheng.

In a trance.

She seemed to see a golden dragon constantly swimming around his body.

"No wonder I felt that his aura was very familiar and close to me when we first met. It turns out that he actually has the aura of a real dragon on his body!"

Mo Qian stared straight at Ren Pingsheng who was practicing his martial arts, feeling extremely shocked in his heart.

At the same time, I felt very confused.

What kind of martial arts can actually make a human being infected with the breath of a real dragon.

This is not common sense at all!

"Why is this happening?"

She couldn't help but murmur to herself.

the other side.

Ren Pingsheng didn't notice Mo Qian's eyes.

At this moment.

He has devoted himself wholeheartedly to the training of "Dragon Song Sun and Moon Slash".

As time goes by.

He felt like he was getting better.

It was as if there was a real dragon fighting alongside him.

After a while.

The practice is over.

He put down the Hong Ming Dao in his hand, and a thought suddenly came to his mind: "Dragon Song Sun and Moon Slash... If Mo Qian's cramp can be peeled off and refined into a long knife, will it be more compatible with this martial art and achieve greater results?" A high state?”

This idea only lasted for a moment before being discarded.

It wasn't because Ren had always cared about women and was unwilling to use Mo Qian as a sacrifice to refine weapons.

Just because it's impractical.

No need to think about it.

As the only remaining true dragon, Mo Qian must have a very high status among the demon clan.

If you want to kill her, I'm afraid it won't be easy without killing an extraordinary monk.

This is the thought.

Ren Pingsheng shook his head and sighed: "What a pity..."
