Chapter 90 The Emperor's Order to Leave the Imperial City
The next day, early morning.
The morning light is shining.
A teahouse in the bustling downtown of the imperial capital.
“Who is it?!”
The beautiful woman Qianqian sat on the chair seductively, but her pretty face was as gloomy as water.
In front of her, several teahouse servants were kneeling, and a maid with a bun on her head was standing behind the beautiful woman, not daring to breathe.
"The Mo family actually inserted their hands into the Tianji family? Who spread the news?"
The beautiful woman said coldly and slammed her palm on the table, causing the servants to tremble both physically and mentally.
Lu Mu sat in the corner, stroking his beard, drinking a bowl of porridge, looking leisurely and carefree.
Last night, a secret pigeon flew out of the teahouse and spread news that shocked the government and the public.
"The former emperor of the Great Zhou, Yuwen Tuo, fell into Kong Xiu's trap and died at the hands of Jiang Li."
Did this person say that?!
Moreover, this news came from the Tianji family’s base, which confirmed the fairness of the news.
How could the beautiful woman not be angry?
Lu Mudui was eating porridge leisurely on the side. The beautiful woman glanced at him and snorted coldly.
Ever since the news of the fairyland at Wolong Ridge spread last time, the Tianji family has become the focus of world attention. Now this kind of incident has happened again, and all of a sudden, they have been pushed to the cusp of the storm.
After Lu Mudui finished his porridge, he wiped his beard and laughed.
"Qianqian, don't be so angry. Just take good care of Tianji Pigeon next time..."
"Besides, although my Tianji family is a neutral faction, now that the Hundred Families and the Great Zhou are in opposition, it is only a matter of time before we take sides... Moreover, the news that came out this time is not without reason. After all... a fly will not bite an egg without a crack."
Lu Mu replied.
"Shut up, you old man, what do you know!"
The beautiful woman was already angry, and now she became even more furious when she heard Lu Mu's sarcastic remarks.
Lu Mu smiled.
Then, he stood up slowly, took his bamboo stick and was about to leave.
"Where are you going?"
The beautiful woman frowned.
"Go to Beiluo..."
Lu Mu smiled.
"Young Master Lu, it's time to fulfill what you promised me."
…
The capital was in an uproar.
The news from the Tianji family was then publicized by many other noble families, and in an instant, the news spread throughout the city.
"National Master Kong Xiu plotted to murder the late Emperor Yuwen Tuo!"
"It turns out that Jiang Li, the military soul of the Great Zhou Dynasty, is the culprit who killed the previous emperor!"
"The death of the late emperor involves a shocking secret!"
These news spread like wildfire almost overnight.
Almost everyone in teahouses, pubs, and roadside storytelling stalls was talking about this matter.
Many people were puzzled. Jiang Li and Kong Xiu were the left and right arms of the late emperor Yuwen Tuo. What motive would they have to kill the late emperor? However, it wasn't long before more detailed secrets came out.
This matter involves a key figure, the heir of the military strategist, Bai Fengtian.
Bai Fengtian, the former heir of a military strategist, made countless contributions during the reign of Yuwen Tuo, including defeating the Western Rong and suppressing the Southern Barbarians, and killing many of the Five Barbarians.
He also performed an even more heroic feat, ordering the burial alive of 300,000 soldiers at the Great Fortress.
At that time, Bai Fengtian controlled the military power of the entire Great Zhou.
It can be said that his achievements surpass his master's.
The late Emperor Yuwen Tuo naturally would not allow this to happen, and he issued nine imperial orders to recall Bai Fengtian, who had been pursued deep into the Western Rong.
His military power was stripped away, allowing Bai Fengtian to retire and return to the countryside.
However……
Bai Fengtian died tragically before he could live to see the day when he could retire and return to the countryside.
At that time, Imperial Master Kong Xiu and Bai Fengtian were close friends.
Jiang Li is Bai Fengtian's direct disciple.
The news of Bai Fengtian's tragic death shocked the whole world. Many people knew about it and speculated that Bai Fengtian's death must have been caused by Emperor Yuwen Tuo, but no one dared to talk about this taboo.
However, not long after Bai Fengtian's death, Yuwen Tuo also died mysteriously.
Therefore, now that this news has spread, the whole world will be shocked.
The civil and military officials of the Zhou Dynasty were extremely furious.
One memorial after another was delivered to the Purple Gold Palace, all of them were memorials of impeachment and accusation.
Three people make a tiger. As the news spread more and more widely, Jiang Li's crime of murdering the late emperor seemed to be completely nailed down.
The capital, the imperial city.
Purple Gold Palace.
Yu Wenxiu looked at the memorials one after another and became so angry that his hands were shaking.
Yu Wenxiu threw the memorial in his hand to the ground with an extremely ugly look on his face.
In the distance, the old eunuch was waving his whisk, not daring to breathe.
After a long time, Yuwen Xiu took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes.
"Go to the library."
Yuwen Xiu took the old eunuch to the study, but was stopped by Mo Tianyu, who was lying outside the study with disheveled hair. No matter what, the imperial teacher refused to see him.
Yuwen Xiu was distraught when the imperial teacher refused to see him. Although he was the emperor, he was only an eleven-year-old child after all.
"Why...why didn't the Imperial Master see me?"
Back in the Zijin Palace, Yuwen Xiu continued to mutter questions.
The man's possessed look made even the old eunuch feel terrified.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Master is at the center of this crisis after all, and he needs Your Majesty to make his own judgment."
The old eunuch bowed.
Yuwen Xiu opened the memorial and saw only contents impeaching the Imperial Preceptor and asking him to order Jiang Li to be summoned to the capital for questioning.
"In fact, it is not your Majesty's intention."
The old eunuch bowed again, almost lying on the ground.
The palace was extremely quiet, with only Yuwen Xiu's breathing being the only sound.
"You served our father before he died. How much do you know about his death?"
"Could it be true, as the rumors say, that the regicides...are really the Imperial Master and Jiang Li?"
After a long time, Yu Wenxiu's voice sounded leisurely.
The old eunuch, who was almost prostrating himself on the ground, suddenly looked up.
Asking such questions...
This means that Yuwen Xiu has begun to doubt in his heart.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Three people make a tiger. The power of rumors has affected Yuwen Xiu and shaken his thoughts.
The old eunuch dared not say anything and just lay on the ground.
Yu Wenxiu was stunned.
After a long time, Fang said:
"Help me change my clothes and prepare to go to court."
The old eunuch who was kneeling on the ground finally stood up and waved for the maid to come in.
Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The vermilion carved wooden doors opened one after another, and Cheng Xi's brilliance shone in.
The civil and military officials and dignitaries on the stone steps brushed off the wrinkles on their clothes and stepped into the hall.
The morning court session did not last long, as Yuwen Xiu left in anger.
Many civil servants who risked their lives to make suggestions and were beaten to a bloody mess in the lower body were carried out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
For many officials, this is an opportunity to go down in history.
Although he was physically injured, he gained a good reputation.
Half a day later.
An imperial edict was issued from deep within the imperial city, and the cavalry galloped out of the imperial capital and headed straight for Yuanchicheng.
…
Book Pavilion.
The rocking chair rocks.
Mo Tianyu bowed and entered.
"Master, your majesty... the emperor's order has finally been issued."
Mo Tianyu said.
Sitting in the rocking chair, Kong Xiu seemed to have aged a lot in an instant after hearing the news.
The only response to Mo Tianyu was an incomprehensible sigh.
…
The emperor issued an edict to leave the imperial city.
Before the news reached Jiang Li, it had already spread throughout the world.
Former Akagi.
When Tan Tai Xuan got the news, he looked at Mo Beike strangely.
"Master, what should we do next?"
Tan Tai Xuan bowed and asked Mo Beike.
"Leave one thousand soldiers in Yuanchicheng, and the rest of the army will withdraw thirty miles from Yuanchicheng."
Mo Beike said slowly.
Tan Tai Xuan was puzzled, but the Mo Ju feather fan beside him fluttered slightly, and his eyes lit up.
…
Beiluo City, the island in the middle of the lake.
As quiet and elegant as ever.
Lu Mudui rowed a lone boat on the rippling surface of Beiluo Lake. When the bamboo pole fell, the fat fish in the water were startled and fled away.
Wearing a bamboo hat, he looked at the island in the middle of the lake, which was shrouded in mist and looked like a fairy island on earth. The shock in his eyes became more and more intense.
Compared to the last time I saw the island in the middle of the lake, the island now seems even more magical.
"Young Master Lu has gained a lot of immortal fate in the secret realm of Wolongling..."
Lu Mu sighed.
After that, I became more and more looking forward to it.
The oar of the boat dropped, startling a flock of gulls and herons.
On the island.
The terrace on the second floor of Baiyujing.
Lu Fan, who was leaning against the railing and listening to the morning breeze, was thinking about the selection of the "dragon breeding land" and the construction of the second secret realm, etc.
The first secret realm can only be regarded as an appetizer, which starts the revival of spiritual energy and lets the world know the existence of practitioners.
As for the second time in the secret realm, Lu Fan would not do such a small-scale fight as he did the first time.
Although the current Wuhuang Continent is low-level martial arts, it is already close to the low-level martial arts of the middle level. In Lu Fan’s plan, the opening of the second secret realm will almost allow the world to step half a foot into the middle level of martial arts.
Moreover, Baiyujing must be able to completely complete the leap to transcendent power.
but……
Before that, Bai Yujing would be better off finding a medium that can convey messages to the world.
Holding a wine glass, Lu Fan leaned on the railing and looked at the scenery of the lake.
But I saw rippling water on the lake and gulls and herons flying in surprise.
A lone boat came staggering over.
On the lonely boat, the old man wearing a bamboo hat on the lake made Lu Fan's calm eyes light up slightly.
