"Master, Saint Ling Yao has successfully entered the palace and is now the Imperial Preceptor of Langya Nation."
The leader of the Divine Moon Cult stared at the information in his hand for a long time, and after a while he asked doubtfully, "Are you sure that is the Saint?"
"It should be correct. The Saint was taken into the palace by the Grand Empress Dowager, and later diagnosed Concubine Tang with pregnancy..."
The believer who brought the news told the news he received from the palace.
Their Shenyue Sect also has its own spies in the palace.
The eyes of the leader of the Shenyue sect were filled with confusion. "The Saint Girl is just a martial arts expert, how could she become a martial arts innate? And she even defeated Grandmaster Li. How is this possible?"
Shenyuejiao couldn't believe it. Bei Lingyao had lived under her nose for more than ten years. How could she not know what level he was at?
"this?"
The believer who reported the news was also stumped for a moment. It was well known in the Shenyue Sect that the Saint was a master of martial arts.
Suddenly, he surpassed all the martial arts masters and became a martial arts genius, and was even able to defeat Master Li.
This sounds so fake and unconvincing.
If it were someone else, it might be possible, but it is absolutely impossible for the Saint.
"Why don't you go and find out what this cult leader wants from you?"
The leader of the Shenyue Sect shouted harshly. She narrowed her eyes slightly and tapped the table with her fingers. Could it be that Bei Lingyao was hiding her strength?
Impossible, the leader of the Shenyue Sect quickly denied it.
Or was it a conspiracy in the palace, and Bei Lingyao was exposed?
Thinking of this, the leader of the Shenyue Sect felt a chill in his heart.
Continue to look at the next information.
General Lei Ting is in seclusion.
Duke Tang also went into seclusion.
Looking at these two people, the heart of the Shenyue Sect Leader was filled with hatred.
If these rebel forces had not invaded the capital, she would still be the regent queen of Zhaoyue Kingdom.
At that time, she was already in the early stage of Grandmaster. Now, after several decades, she has reached the late stage of Grandmaster and has not made any further progress.
If she could become a Grandmaster, she would definitely lead the Shenyue Sect back to the capital.
However, although she failed to restore the country, she did ensure that Emperor Xiao's lineage would be extinct.
As long as Emperor Daoyuan died, or if he had no children in this life, the lineage of Emperor Taizu Xiao would be completely extinct.
"From today on, this leader will be in seclusion, and the affairs of the sect will be handed over to the left and right guardians."
At a command, the leader of the Shenyue Sect also went into seclusion to strive for the Grand Master status.
Not to mention the three outsiders, Master Yuanzhen, Taoist Wuyang and Master Jingci, they have all gone into seclusion long ago.
Everyone wants to become the first grandmaster and gain the upper hand.
Three hundred years ago, great masters from various countries gathered at Mount Hua to discuss martial arts, but this triggered a war between great masters.
The great masters of various countries were either dead or injured and their martial arts skills regressed.
That year is also known as the Grand Master's Death.
For the next three hundred years, all countries seemed to be cursed, and no one was promoted to Grand Master.
The inheritance was broken that year.
However, none of the martial arts masters wanted to give up the opportunity to become a grand master.
Golden Throne Hall
Bei Lingyao and Emperor Daoyuan attended the morning court.
Unlike Bei Lingyao who was standing in the court, the Empress Dowager was sitting behind a screen.
As soon as she saw Bei Lingyao, the Empress Dowager became a little angry.
There was deep fear in her eyes, and she regretted letting the wolf into the house.
Even Grandmaster Li was defeated, and the Empress Dowager had no way to deal with Bei Lingyao.
She was eager to get rid of Bei Lingyao, but if she failed, it would be a disaster for her and the Tang family.
The Emperor Taihuang could only eagerly hope that his brother, Duke Tang, could break through to the Grandmaster level as soon as possible.
Only then can she get rid of the sense of threat brought by Bei Lingyao.
Emperor Daoyuan was in a good mood. He raised his hand and introduced Bei Lingyao, "This is my Imperial Master. Although she is a martial arts innate, she was able to defeat Grandmaster Li. Why don't you all pay your respects to the Imperial Master?"
The ministers saw Bei Lingyao defeat Grandmaster Li Yimu yesterday. Although it still seems unbelievable, it is a fact.
Holding tablets in their hands, they all bowed to Bei Lingyao and saluted, "Your servants greet the Imperial Master."
"My colleagues, there is no need to be so polite. From now on, we will serve the court and the emperor together."
Bei Lingyao also bowed in return, with a humble look on her face, not arrogant at all.
But the ministers really couldn't regard her as a strong person, mainly because she was too young, just a pretty girl.
She is younger than their daughter, even their granddaughter and great-granddaughter.
Not a strong man at all.
But no one dared to underestimate her now.
The court officials who supported Emperor Daoyuan were somewhat happy, thinking that Emperor Daoyuan had a strong supporter, which was beneficial to them, the royalists.
The Empress Dowager and her group were in a bad mood.
Ever since Grandmaster Li was defeated by Bei Lingyao, Concubine Tang was sentenced to death and Duke Tang went into seclusion.
They can all call on the Empress Dowager and the Tang family to make concessions.
This was unthinkable in the past.
Didn’t you see that the Empress Dowager has been fine for so many years? No matter how much the Grand Empress Dowager values her grandson Emperor Daoyuan, she has never taken any action against the Empress Dowager.
Regardless of whether it was the Empress Dowager's party or the royalist party, they all hoped that Emperor Daoyuan would have a prince as soon as possible.
If the emperor has no prince, his dynasty will be unsustainable, and chaos will easily arise if an accident occurs.
The Empress Dowager's party felt that as long as Emperor Daoyuan had a son, he would be of no use to the Empress Dowager.
Emperor Daoyuan also knew what the Empress Dowager and the others were planning.
So he never falls into the trap.
He would rather sterilize himself than be afraid of the Empress Dowager and her gang's schemes.
Gou Qin shouted: "If you have something to say, please report it. If not, please leave the court!"
"I have something to report."
The Minister of Rites stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, the Eight-Nation Summit is in two months. Each nation has already set out on its journey and will arrive in the capital in just over a month. I have received news that each nation has sent a group of talented disciples, led by Grandmasters. Langya Nation must also be prepared."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the ministers agreed.
A minister said, "This is the first eight-nation summit since the emperor ascended the throne. Langya Kingdom must not be underestimated."
The Minister of the Honglu Temple continued, "The Honglu Temple's residence needs to be repaired, and all the preparations require money..."
When the Minister of Revenue heard this, he immediately said, "The Ministry of Revenue has just allocated funds to the Ministry of Rites for next year's imperial examination, but we have no money left."
The Minister of War was not happy. "Why is there no money? Our military pay for this year has not been paid yet."
The Minister of Works was also dissatisfied, "Our Ministry of Works' disaster relief funds cannot be reduced at all."
The other departments quit.
The royal family had even more objections, as their salaries could not be reduced anyway.
The Minister of Revenue waved his hand and said, "I really don't have any money."
"How can there be no silver? The annual tax revenue is quite a lot. You, an old man, wouldn't embezzle it, would you?"
As soon as someone started to criticize, the Minister of Revenue naturally refused to do it.
The entire court was instantly in chaos, with ministers even holding their tablets (hù bǎn) and starting to fight.
The Hu board is also called the hand board, jade board, and court board.
Bei Lingyao and Emperor Daoyuan watched the show, neither of them said a word.
The Empress Dowager shouted, "Stop! This is disgraceful!"
"Grand Empress Dowager, without silver, what are we going to do at the G8 summit? We can't let the other nations laugh at us, can we?"
"Grand Empress Dowager, without the disaster relief funds, what will the victims do?"
