Tang Guogong Mansion
The Tang family members looked grim when they saw the body of Concubine Tang being sent back.
They couldn't hold a funeral for Concubine Tang yet.
Moreover, Concubine Tang could not be buried in the Tang family's ancestral tomb.
"Find a place to bury him."
Duke Tang had no extra emotions towards this stupid and useless granddaughter.
Upon learning that the Empress Dowager had invited the Goddess of Childbirth into the palace, a martial arts master turned out to be a natural in martial arts and had defeated Grandmaster Li.
Duke Tang was wary.
All of these masters are in the late stage of cultivation.
Master Yuanzhen in the temple and Taoist Wuyang in the Taoist temple are both veteran masters, but they have not been able to make any further progress over the years.
Martial arts in this world have declined, and no grandmaster has appeared in hundreds of years.
Many people perish when they reach the Grandmaster level.
But on the Langya Kingdom's side, apart from eight late-stage Grandmasters, there is only Emperor Daoyuan who has the cultivation level of an early-stage Grandmaster.
I originally thought that there was a gap in the younger generation, but unexpectedly, a female national master emerged.
Using an innate to suppress a grandmaster is simply out of the question.
Duke Tang couldn't believe it, but he knew that the news from the palace could not be false.
He was in a very heavy mood. Only his sister, the Empress Dowager, naively thought that no matter how wrong she was, the Emperor would still take into account the blood relationship.
But the Empress Dowager was the emperor's biological grandmother, and due to filial piety and reputation, the emperor would not do anything to her.
The same may not be true for the Tang family.
Their Tang family attacked the Zhang family in the past and even murdered Queen Zhang.
At this time, Duke Tang was extremely regretful. If he had known that Empress Zhang would die twice, there wouldn't be so many problems now.
They did intend to kill Empress Zhang, but she risked her life to give birth to the emperor.
Naturally, the Tang family would not tolerate this, so they created natural and man-made disasters to make the emperor be regarded as an ominous person.
He was waiting to take action after the emperor was sent out of the palace, but he didn't expect that Taoist Wuyang was too nosy and protected the person.
He was also accepted as a disciple.
The more Duke Tang thought about it, the more he regretted it. He was soft-hearted at the time and did not cut the weeds at their roots, which planted the seeds of disaster for the Tang family.
"Father, the Emperor now has the support of the Imperial Master. What should our Tang Family do?"
The Prince of Tang had a solemn look on his face. Concubine Tang was his legitimate daughter, and now she was forced to death by the emperor and the imperial teacher.
Their Tang family did not protect the imperial concubine as they did the empress dowager, which was a great provocation and slap in the face to their Tang family.
"I will be in seclusion to strive for Grandmaster status. From now on, the Tang family will give me some responsibilities. No one in the Tang family is allowed to act rashly until I become a Grandmaster."
Duke Tang calmed down and realized that the Tang family now had only one way out.
That is his attempt to become a Grand Master.
As long as he becomes a Grand Master, even if eight Grand Masters join together, they will not be his match.
What's more, the old bald donkey and the old Taoist priest have a grudge against each other, so they can't unite at all.
This is the Shenyue Sect, which belongs to the previous dynasty and has hatred towards the old bald donkey and the old Taoist priest.
Of course, the Shenyue Sect also hates the imperial court and the Tang family.
Master Jingci and Taoist Wuyang were also enemies.
Unless external enemies invade, it will be difficult for the eight masters to form an alliance.
As for General Lei Ting, the relative, Duke Tang frowned. Although he was going to marry his daughter to him, he was not sure about General Lei Ting.
They all fought together with Taizu to conquer the world. General Lei Ting was Taizu's sworn brother. When he was young, he was as infatuated with the Empress Dowager as Taizu was.
In the end, the Tang family chose Taizu.
But General Lei Ting has always been close to the Tang family.
The Tang family even thought that General Lei Ting was willing to let his son marry the daughter of the Tang family just to fulfill his youthful dream.
However, after watching from the sidelines for these years, General Lei Ting did not express any opinion to the Empress Dowager and the Tang family.
He also did not marry his daughter into the palace. In Duke Tang's opinion, General Lei Ting must have ulterior motives.
If the Tang family had 300,000 soldiers, they would have rebelled long ago.
"We must keep a close eye on the Fu family. If they have any ulterior motives, report them as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, father. I have received the news that General Lei Ting has also gone into seclusion."
"That old bastard is definitely going to challenge the Grandmaster, and I won't be a step behind him."
After Duke Tang finished speaking, he disappeared in a flash.
As Duke Tang went into seclusion, the palace quieted down, and the entire capital was buzzing with discussions about the newly appointed Imperial Master.
After Taizu founded the country, everyone was guessing whether Master Yuanzhen or Taoist Wuyang would be named the national teacher.
But none of them did.
Both masters declined the idea.
Now, a woman with a natural talent for martial arts has become the national teacher.
Everyone was amazed.
The entire capital city and the entire Langya Kingdom were in an uproar.
But it must be said that a man who is seventeen years old and has a natural talent for martial arts is, like Emperor Daoyuan, a leader among the younger generation.
A child of destiny!
Not to mention there are rumors that even Grandmaster Li, who was in the palace, was defeated.
"If this is true, it is a blessing for our Langya Kingdom."
"Yes, other countries don't have seventeen-year-old Xiantian or twenty-three-year-old Grandmasters, let alone a Xiantian who can defeat a Grandmaster."
…
The people were extremely excited.
The Wumo Kingdom, which is adjacent to the Langya Kingdom, originally had eight grandmasters, but one was promoted this year, making it nine grandmasters in total.
This made Langya Kingdom and other countries feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.
The Empress Dowager originally thought that when the news of the Imperial Master was spread, the people would oppose it, but she did not expect that everyone would be even happier.
In this world, the strong are respected and everyone admires the strong.
Regardless of gender, as long as they are strong, they are respected.
Otherwise, the Empress Dowager would not have been able to serve as regent for decades and be so respected.
Not only because of the Empress Taizu and the Tang family, but also because the Empress Dowager was a natural at martial arts and was the most likely candidate to be promoted to a grandmaster.
But so many years have passed, and the Empress Dowager is still stuck in the middle stage of the Xiantian realm, without any progress.
"Mammy, you said that I have been practicing in seclusion. Has that meant I have already been promoted to Grandmaster?"
The Empress Dowager felt very uncomfortable. She was once a martial arts genius and was hailed as a master, or even a potential grandmaster.
She is also said to be the second female master of Langya Kingdom after Master Jingci.
For this reason, she wanted to become a disciple of Master Jingci but was rejected. Master Jingci said that she was power-hungry and not suitable for Taoist practice.
If one devotes himself to the path of martial arts, he has the potential to become a master.
She was disdainful at the time and didn't take Master Jingci's words to heart.
Now that she has come to her senses, she can no longer let go of the power in her hands.
After being in power for decades, the Empress Dowager was no longer able to give up power and live a secluded life.
She couldn't calm down to practice martial arts.
But she also wanted to become a grandmaster.
"I can't give up my power. Once I do, the Tang family will be finished."
"I remember that the Regent Queen of Zhaoyue Kingdom was also a Grandmaster, but I don't know how she cultivated. So, you can ask someone to inquire about the Divine Moon Sect and see if they have any methods to quickly promote to Grandmaster."
The Empress Dowager was concerned about this matter.
In the Xingchen Pavilion, Bei Lingyao touched her chin.
The leader of the Shenyue Sect is the former regent queen of the Zhaoyue Kingdom.
Should she go back to the Shenyue Sect and interrogate the Sect Leader?
