Yin and Yang Taoist Code

Wang Dachuan left, after eating.

It should have been a joy to have dinner with a prince and the old manager of the Mu family, but he was not happy at all. He felt that the total time in his entire life had never been as long as it is now, so that when he walked out of the door of Mu's house, he was in a trance, feeling that he had aged dozens of years all of a sudden.

With a slightly forlorn back, he left the Mu family slowly and unhurriedly. When he was out of the Mu family's jurisdiction, he couldn't wait to run away.

From the bottom of his heart, he never wanted to come to this ghost place again in his life.

Li Chuyi was very happy, feeling that both the guests and the host enjoyed the meal.

Under the double pressure of Diemeng and Mu Dong, he managed to get a lot of useful information out of others by making insinuations.

As he expected, the Supervision Department did get the news that Yu Yao left Taixu Palace and knew that her goal was the imperial capital. As for why she came, it's easy to guess. The relationship between Yu Yao and Yu Hao is well known to everyone. Now Yu Hao has become the king of Zhenxi, Yuwen Taihao. Before leaving, he even tricked Taixu Palace. As a former girlfriend, it was impossible for Yu Yao to remain unmoved by both emotions and reasons. It was only reasonable to come to the imperial capital to seek revenge against Yuwen Taihao.

Even in the eyes of the Supervision Department, it was incredible that Yu Yao could endure it for so long before taking action.

Knowing that someone was planning to assassinate King Zhenxi, it was impossible for the Supervision Department not to take action. Unfortunately, when they reported the matter to King Zhenxi and asked for help in protecting them, King Zhenxi unexpectedly refused. The reason was that he could solve the matter by himself and did not need the help of the Supervision Department. In the end, he ordered the Supervision Department not to act rashly and pretended that he had never learned about the matter.

The King of Zhenxi dared to say this, but how could the Supervision Department dare to do it?

Unfortunately, King Zhenxi refused to cooperate, so Mr. Wen had no choice but to send people to secretly step up the security work on the outside of King Zhenxi's palace, and at the same time send more people to investigate Yu Yao's whereabouts.

During that time, the spy war in the imperial capital reached its peak. Several secret battles took place every day. After the nails in Motang were cleared out one by one, Yu Yao was the only one who remained missing.

No one knew where Yu Yao was, not even the captured Motang prisoners knew where Lu Heng's young apprentice was. Wang Dachuan, then secretary of the Supervision Department, couldn't help but become curious after work. This man named What kind of magical powers does Yu Yao's woman have? She can even evade the raids of the Supervision Department.

You must know that this is the imperial capital of Dayan, at the feet of the emperor, where the headquarters of the Supervision Department is located. Even if you can't catch the person in this way, could it be that Yu Yao didn't come at all?

Until one day Wang Dachuan heard a rumor that there was a riot somewhere in the city, and the two parties involved turned out to be spies from the Supervision Department and people from Zhenxi Prince's Mansion. However, this rumor cannot be confirmed at all. Firstly, there is no personal or physical evidence, and secondly, the source of the news is extremely unreliable, because a few days after the news came out, the secret source was confirmed to be a double agent, and both the Supervision Department and Mo Tang jointly reported that Working hard to make money by selling inside information on both parties.

This time, he secretly exposed the feud between the Supervisory Department and the Prince of Zhenxi. The man took advantage of Motang and wanted to use this matter to stir up a grudge between Mr. Wen and the Prince of Zhenxi, thereby disrupting the Ministry of War and getting them closer. The conflict between the generals of King Zhenxi and the neutral and conservative factions escalated, thus achieving the purpose of causing chaos in Dayan.

This matter seems ridiculous, because although Dayan has internal conflicts, it is definitely not something that can be caused by a few rumors. The overall structure of Dayan is still quite stable.

But the problem is that that was before King Zhenxi came back. After King Zhenxi came back, Dayan's situation became less optimistic.

In the battle at Taixu Palace, although Yu Hao failed, he actually brought out many soldiers who participated in the battle before leaving. In the eyes of many big shots, these people are just a bunch of numbers that can be erased easily. They are sent there to be used as death squads. It is good not to die, but it is not a pity to die, as long as they complete what they should do. Just do it.

But the Ministry of War is different.

Although we can't say that we love our soldiers like our own sons, every soldier is indeed the brainchild of their respective generals.

It is not difficult for a mortal to become a monk, but it is not that simple to train a monk into a qualified soldier who knows how to be obedient, understand discipline, know how to cooperate in battle, and even be willing to sacrifice.

Everyone is ambitious, especially individuals like monks who have power that ordinary people don't have. The greater the power, the more ambition they will naturally expand. How to tame them is a science, and it is not just about high-pressure rule as outsiders think. The experience and time spent in this process are not known to others, but they, the generals who lead the troops in the war, know it best, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the brainchild of others.

The part that was destined to be given up was saved by King Zhenxi, and the bosses of the Ministry of War were naturally grateful. Later, Emperor Yanling gave King Zhenxi military power over the entire western border. The generals in the Ministry of War who were affiliated with the Western Military Region were even more enthusiastic. In their eyes, King Zhenxi and they were like a family.

In addition, before Yu Haowei committed suicide, he was also a prince who was expected to ascend to the throne. There were indeed some old acquaintances of his in the Ministry of War. Many of them at the time had now become high-ranking officials with military power, and the Ministry of War was divided over time. Out of a hilltop close to King Zhenxi.

What caused this small hilltop to completely intensify into a faction was an old incident that continues to this day.

There are many descendants of Prince Yanling, but there are only 19 people who are qualified to compete for the throne. Excluding the deceased Yuwen Xuanli, there are only 18 people left. Only these 18 people in the entire Yuwen royal family can be crowned "Prince" and "Prince Daughter" title, the rest can only be regarded as ordinary royal family members, that is, the "Princes" who are often teased behind their backs.

At the same time, the titles of these people are not fixed, but are divided according to ability. The stronger the ability, the higher the ranking.

For example, the late Thirteenth Prince Yuwen Xuanli was originally the Eleventh Prince. Unfortunately, he failed to live up to his expectations. He was unable to break through in cultivation, and his strategic methods were not outstanding. Therefore, he was overtaken by the two brothers behind him one by one. The first prince fell all the way to become the thirteenth prince, becoming the laughing stock in the eyes of other princes and princesses.

The battle for the throne has always been strict and cruel, but compared with previous generations, the battle for the throne of this generation can be called the most serious. Because no matter how these people behave, they still can't get into the eyes of Emperor Yanling. The position of Prince of Dayan has always been hanging, and even the position of the First Prince has been vacant, and they can only watch helplessly, not knowing. How to sit on it.

Originally, there was no rush in this matter. Emperor Yanling is in his prime, and is still very early to die. If a group of princes and princesses are not qualified now, there will always be a qualified one in the future, and it will be too late to choose a prince and daughter by then.

But the problem is, King Zhenxi is back.

Who is the King of Zhenxi?

The younger brother of Emperor Yanling gave up his qualification to compete for the great treasure because of his sense of mission. He cut himself off and became a new man. He went to Taixu Palace under the pseudonym Yu Hao and has been undercover ever since.

The high-level officials of Dayan have heard about how Yu Hao of Taixu Palace behaves. Many people say that Lu Hengming has taken in a genius. After his death, Taixu Palace will definitely become stronger in Yu Hao's hands and pose a threat to Dayan. get bigger. For this reason, many people in Dayan proposed to find ways to get rid of Yu Hao and nip this future cancer in the bud. Unfortunately, all of them were rejected by the Supervision Department. Some people even reported the matter to Emperor Yanling, and Yanling The emperor was indifferent and just said "it's not enough to cause trouble" and sent him away.

Now that Yu Hao has become Yuwen Taihao, everyone knows why the Supervision Department and Emperor Yanling are so calm. While everyone was praising Emperor Yanling and King Zhenxi, some people were also thinking about the position of crown prince.

As we all know, it is impossible for Yuwen Taihao to become the prince, but this does not prevent him from being qualified to compete for the great treasure.

In terms of talent and ability, Yuwen Taihao is undoubtedly much better than the current princes and princesses. In terms of loyalty and contribution to Dayan, who dares to kill himself and become a traitor? Who dares to say that he is better than him?

More importantly, he is the younger brother of Emperor Yanling. He cut himself off and reborn as a human being. His lifespan is much longer than that of Emperor Yanling, and even much longer than some of the princes and princesses. Now that his two souls are fused, his cultivation is even faster. In terms of longevity alone, he may be the fastest person in Dayan or even the entire human world.

He has strength, ability, noble integrity and great dedication, and he is also one of the most orthodox people of the Yuwen royal family. If such a person is not recommended as the next Emperor Yan, what else can he think of?

As a result, a wave of princely faction gradually formed among Dayan's senior officials. They all hoped that Emperor Yanling would issue an order to confirm the qualifications of the first successor to King Zhenxi. If it weren't for the inconsistency in seniority and etiquette, they would just call out the word "Prince", but the first heir had already explained everything, which immediately angered the other princes, princesses and their supporters.

In addition, some conservative conservatives who were originally neutral also swung to the side of the prince and princess. They believed that no matter how suitable Yuwen Taihao was, he was not a descendant of Emperor Yanling.

Since the founding of Dayan, the throne has always been passed down from father to son or from father to nephew. I have never heard of brothers changing thrones. This is simply disturbing the order of the dynasty and causing harm to the government. It is a provocation to the tradition and ancestral system!

They recognized Yuwen Taihao's excellence, but they opposed Yuwen Taihao's succession to Dabao. They can accept or even be happy to accept Yuwen Taihao as the regent, but he must not sit on the orthodox throne!

Taixu Palace was aware of this, so it sent people to bribe the double agent to release false news in an attempt to intensify the conflict in Dayan and give them an opportunity to take advantage of it.

This was so heartbreaking that the double agent was killed on the spot after he was discovered. It is said that Mr. Wen personally searched for his soul and then beat him to a pulp with one palm.

Everything was in vain, and the noise gradually subsided. But the sensitive Wang Dachuan didn't think so. His intuition told him that it was not that simple, and that the double agent might not be true.

Even if it is true, it cannot be said that the Supervision Department and the Prince of Zhenxi really did not take action. On the surface, this matter is one thing, but if you think about it another way, it can actually be seen as two things, related but independent.

Then the King of Zhenxi came to visit many times, and Wen Lao promoted him to Sima to deal with Yu Hao. Wang Dachuan vaguely felt something happened. Until that day when the King of Zhenxi came with his own soldiers, and when he opened the door curtain before leaving, the fragrance of his daughter came from the carriage, Wang Dachuan suddenly felt excited, and then suppressed it hard in his heart and did not dare to think too much.

To this day, under Li Chuyi's sweet words, because the matter was not sealed using the confidentiality methods used by the Supervision Department, Wang Dachuan was forced to speak out helplessly, and swore to heaven that there was indeed no one in the dark prison of the Supervision Department. Yu Yao, at least there is absolutely no Yu Yao's name in the roster he has dealt with.

At the same time, he also told the news he knew. He tried his best to uphold the attitude of a guest officer in his words, and did not reveal any of his guesses.

But how smart Li Chuyi is, the things Wang Dachuan cares about already speak volumes.

From his words, Li Chuyi analyzed that the possibility of Yu Yao being in the dark cell was very small. She was most likely caught by Yuwen Tianhao and is now being held in Zhenxi Prince's Mansion!

Of course, there is also a possibility that the rumors mentioned by Wang Dachuan are just rumors and are false news released by people sent by Taixu Palace. Yu Yao has not taken action yet, nor has she been exposed. She is still hiding in a corner of the imperial capital.

But this possibility is too low. One or two years is fine. Yu Yao cannot hide it for such a long time. Firstly, she is a beauty, and secondly, she is a monk. Even if she is determined to destroy her appearance and make herself disheveled, her cultivation cannot be ruined, right?

Without the spirit stone, she could only absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. As long as you perform your merits, the changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth cannot be hidden from the eyes of the Supervision Department. Don't think that there are so many monks in the Imperial City that you can get away with it. The days here are not short. He actually understands a lot of the methods of the Supervision Department, and he also knows how lucky he is that he was not exposed when he entered the city.

"Zhenxi Prince's Mansion?"

Li Chuyi's eyes were cold.

I haven't seen Yu Hao for a long time. I wonder if the grandson is doing well now, and whether he has resolved the backlash of heaven.

"Longevity? Haha."

Li Chuyi sneered. He didn't believe that Yu Hao's injury could be healed so easily.

Even the Taoist priests frowned at the injuries. If a person's life was so easy to be divided or reconciled, then everyone would rely on this method to practice, and there was no need for the Taoist priests to look for his disability. If the soul is gone, just cut off the karma and become a human again.

"You are not allowed to go."

Mu Fangli had been hiding behind the scenes, and he came out only after Wang Dachuan left. At this moment, when he saw Li Chuyi's face, he knew what he wanted to do, and he spoke to deny his thoughts.

"Why!" Li Chuyi was dissatisfied, "I'm just going to take a look without causing trouble!"

Mu Fangli sneered: "Humph, I believe it too! You don't have to look for trouble, you are the trouble yourself!"

The little fat man was speechless.

Didn't he just "make out" with the old man? He was the one who got hurt. How could he be so vindictive?

"Wait three more days!"

Mu Fangli raised three fingers.

"Three days later at the recognition banquet, when I admit you into the Mu family, I will never stop you from going wherever you want in Dayan! But now, you are absolutely not allowed to leave this courtyard, understand this Yet?"

"I understand."

The little fat man nodded helplessly. He also knew that Mu Fangli was doing it for his own good.

Afraid that he would be in danger, Mu Fangli even imposed martial law around the place where he currently lives. Only Mu Dong, the most trusted member of the family, was sent to serve and protect him, while a team of masters were sent outside to guard him day and night.

It is said that the masters of that team were carefully selected by Mu Fangli personally from some willow leaves in the Mu family. They have been trained for many years and have been loyal to him. They were originally meant to protect himself, but this time Li Chuyi was worried, so he took most of them. come over.

Thinking that there were still three days left, Li Chuyi was anxious and thankful at the same time. Fortunately, Old Man Mu was also in a hurry. If the date was set for ten days and a half, he would definitely go crazy.

After taking a few glances at the imperial edict, the little fat man raised his hand towards Mu Fangli.

"What should I do about this?"

Mu Fangli didn't even look at it: "If you want to keep it, keep it. If you find it disgusting, throw it away."

"oh."

The little fat man nodded, and then asked with concern: "If you throw away the imperial edict, you should be killed according to the law, right?"

Mu Fangli looked at him angrily: "Are you afraid?"

Hey, hey, the little fat man threw it to Xiao Erhei.

"Heizi, I gave it to you as a blanket."

Xiao Erhei jumped up, sat down on the soft velvet on the back of the imperial edict, twisted his body and adjusted to the most comfortable position, grinning with a comfortable smile.
