Chapter 46: Imperial Master



Genius website address: [New Biquge]

"Your Majesty, do you want me to find out what the Imperial Master is doing for you?" Lady Wan, the Oriental Noble, showed an embarrassment on her face.

"It is extremely difficult for me to leave the palace privately. Even if your majesty allows me to leave the palace frequently, I will be suspected and I cannot fulfill my duty of surveillance."

"But I didn't expect that the Zheng family actually had the Imperial Master behind it!"

Zhang Yuanqing waved his hand and said, "Tell me everything you know about the price of the Imperial Master. Don't ask any more questions."

Asking directly does not fit in with Zhao Shun’s character. After all, Zhao Shun would not forget even the national teacher.

Lady Wan is a loyal warrior and will not question His Majesty over such a small matter!

Zhang Yuanqing now had no other channels to get information about the Imperial Master. It was better to ask his confidant than to ask others. Concubine Wan was indeed a concubine who loved His Majesty deeply. As expected, she did not ask any more questions. After a moment of hesitation, she said, "The Imperial Master was appointed by the late emperor. The late emperor was seriously ill in his later years and longed for treatment, so he posted a notice to the world to seek a capable person, hoping to obtain the elixir of immortality to prolong his life!"

"A strange man came upon summons and gave the late emperor three elixirs, saying they could extend his life by one year. He then performed a ritual to extend the emperor's life for another three years!"

"The emperor's health improved after taking the elixir. He was very pleased and appointed that strange man as the national teacher. It is said that the national teacher can not only refine the elixir of immortality, but also predict people's fortunes and disasters, determine life and death, command ghosts and gods, and pray for rain."

It sounds like a combination of a bachelor, a night-wandering god, and a rain master. The monks in ancient times studied a variety of subjects, so it was normal for them to dabble in all areas.

Don't know what the core profession is? Zhang Yuanqing's expression is solemn. These ancient monks who are top students are very skilled and difficult to deal with!

Remember the URL.42.

"What happened next? Did the Imperial Master perform a ritual to extend the life of the late emperor?"

Lady Wan shook her head and said, "Three years later, the previous emperor passed away. The Imperial Master said that this was against the will of heaven and changing fate, which was intolerable and could not be repeated!"

"How could the Empress Dowager and all the civil and military officials in the court believe him with such words?" Zhang Yuanqing was puzzled. This guy is such a scoundrel!

Before the Imperial Master, he promised to extend his life for another three years. After becoming the Imperial Master, it is God's will that cannot be violated!

"Because in the past three years, the national master has gained great prestige in the court and the country with his alchemy and medicine skills, and the nobles come to him for elixirs. The fairy medicine shop he opened often provides free medical treatment in the capital, and countless people have benefited from his kindness. I have also heard that the national master of fierce disasters will hold an altar to pray for rain every time..."

As she spoke, a hint of doubt flashed in the beautiful lady's eyes like a bell.

"Lu Xia, you have close contacts with that national teacher! So even if the previous emperor passed away, no one in the court or the country dared to deal with him, or was unwilling to deal with him!"

Zhang Yuanqing suddenly realized and sighed, "Lady Wan, no, Concubine Wan, you are the confidant that the Queen Mother left for me, so I won't hide it from you. After I was poisoned, my mind was muddled and I often forgot some past events!"

Concubine Wan was horrified, and she grasped His Majesty's hand and said anxiously, "I will call the imperial physician for you right away!"

Zhang Yuanqing struggled to get free but couldn't. He couldn't call for help, so he said, "The imperial physician said it was caused by the remaining poison. It will be fine after a while. Keep talking!"

Only then did Lady Wan feel relieved and revealed the information she knew without reservation, "Your Majesty, when you were young, you followed the Imperial Master to practice martial arts, and every day you would take the bone strengthening and yang-boosting pills made by the Imperial Master!"

No wonder when Zhao Wu was at his best, all the passing dogs would come over to fight him. No wonder all the concubines and maids in the harem had been favored by him. Zhang Yuanqing suddenly realized!

He found it strange that the record in the diary said that Zhao Shun's kidneys were in extremely good condition. It turned out that he had practiced **!

I want to learn it too!

Lady Wan said, "Not only that, the blueprint for your expansion of the harem was drawn for you by the Imperial Master, including the feng shui layout of the harem. Your Summer Palace and Sheep Palace outside the Imperial Palace were built for you by the Imperial Master!"

Lady Wan listed one by one the damage to the people and the money spent on building the palace. The commander also tried to collect beauties for him among the people and forced labor to arouse the people's complaints.

A few years ago, in order to travel south to enjoy the mountains and rivers, Daxing forced tens of thousands of laborers to dig the canal, and the people in the prefectures and cities were required to bring their own dry food. Because of the delay in farming, there was a famine that year.

In addition, Defei's father, the former Minister of Revenue, was dissatisfied with Zhao Shun's extravagance and waste. After Zhao Shun wrote a letter, he was furious and asked the Imperial Master for advice. The Imperial Master said, "What's the point of keeping an official who doesn't know how to sympathize with the king?"

The entire family of Concubine De was executed. Zhang Yuanqing felt his scalp tingling when he heard this. This imperial teacher wanted to send Zhao Shun to hell and destroy the country's fortune.

This is the biggest weakness of the feudal system. If the king is wise, the country's strength will prosper, but if the king is incompetent, the entire country will quickly decline.

The most terrifying thing is that the national teacher is not just a jester, because he knows how to establish prestige and reputation among the people!

On the one hand, he is destroying the reputation of the monarch, while on the other hand, he is building a reputation for himself! His intentions are sinister!

But why did the imperial teacher support the Zheng family? Emperor Zhao Shun was the dream king of all the ministers, jesters, and treacherous officials in the past and present, and he could be called the white moonlight.

Supporting the Zheng family will not benefit him. The Zheng family is definitely smarter than Zhao Shun. Maybe it will benefit him, but I don’t know. I have to investigate before I can draw a conclusion!

Zhang Yuanqing gathered his thoughts and coughed: "Miss Wan, you will stay in my bedroom tonight!!

Before he finished speaking, he saw Wan Mei frightened and asked, "What are you doing?"

Zhang Yuanqing moved her butt away without leaving any trace, "I will serve you in the bed!" Her big copper bell eyes sparkled with coquettishness!!!

Zhang Yuanqing said in a deep voice: "I am still poisoned and I was frightened. Wanmei, there is no need to rush!"

Lady Wan looked disappointed and asked in a hoarse voice: "Where should I sleep?"

"Sleep against me." Zhang Yuanqing grabbed the beauty's hand and said gently, "I can only sleep peacefully with you around!"

High-end players must know how to use all resources. They can endure the humiliation of being beaten. Why can't I sacrifice myself for a bit?

Those who achieve great things do not fuss about small details.

Lady Wan was touched and flattered:

"Your Majesty, I will be with you every day from now on."

No need to do that. Zhang Yuanqing nodded vigorously, put on his clothes and lay down, then turned over and slapped Wan Yangren on the back of his head.

It will be dawn in a few hours. The side quest of surviving 24 hours has been completed, and the quest of finding the spy has also been completed. Logically, after surviving the initial stage, the copy will lift the seal on me and allow me to restore my cultivation. It is impossible for a mortal to pass the Domination-level copy.

The restriction on not being able to sense the identity of a spiritual realm traveler should also be lifted. This restriction is to increase the difficulty in the early stages. Now that you have survived the initial crisis, there is no point in hiding your identity any longer.

So I should be able to meet my teammates tomorrow morning and fight against the enemies in the dungeon together. Zhang Yuanqing fell into a deep sleep while thinking this!

After an unknown amount of time, he was awakened by the sound of a spiritual reminder:

"Ding, congratulations on completing the side quest: Survive for 24 hours!

“Ding, congratulations on completing the side quest to find the spy lurking in the palace.

"Ding, the mission rewards unlock extraordinary mental power and items, and the side mission is activated to survive for 72 hours!

“Note: Please remember that your identity is Zhao Shun.

The black full moon mark on his forehead appeared, and the pure power of the Taiyin poured into his body. Zhang Yuanqing's sleepiness and fatigue were instantly cleared, and he became energetic!

The power is back, but it is only at the extraordinary stage!

After the black moon mark disappeared, Zhang Yuanqing turned over and sat up to open the instruction panel to check the task.

"Repel the Northern Dynasty's army or save the Southern Dynasty's capital"

"The main mission is to win the hearts of the people, and the side mission of finding the spy has been completed! Surviving 24 hours has become surviving 72 hours!

From the changes in the mission, there were not many hints, and the target was unclear, but it didn't matter. The enemy in the capital had already been figured out, and the next step was to collect intelligence and find out the enemy's strengths and weaknesses.

“Note: Remind me to remember my identity.

Does that mean the status of a monarch is very important? But there are no restrictions on the status of a Spiritual Realm Walker anymore, so I should be able to recognize my teammates!

"Gather all the teammates first." There might be people from the Zheng family in the city office. I can't take the initiative to gather my teammates. It's too obvious. I have to think of a way to make sure my teammates don't need to see me but still know my identity.

The first thing Zhang Yuanqing thought of was the code commonly used by time travelers: odd numbers change but even numbers do not change, and the symbol depends on the quadrant!

Then I thought that there might be some poor students among my teammates, and they might know the secret code.

Moreover, changing the code is out of tune with the times and not good for publicity!

Zhang Yuanqing quickly came up with an idea. He looked at the beautiful lady Wan who was sitting on the east side and snoring!

"Nurturing people"

“Hurrah!!!!!”

Zhang Yuanqing sighed and said loudly, "Miss Wan!"

Lady Wan suddenly woke up: "Your Majesty."

Zhang Yuanqing said, "I entrusted my life and property to you, but you slept soundly beside my bed. Miss Wan, you have failed me!"

"I will expel you from the harem!"

Wan Meiren Dadao kowtowed hurriedly, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

"I am kind to women and do not want to punish them!" Zhang Yuanqing said in a grateful look at Yang Ren. "I dreamed of Wenquxingjun last night. He said that Lian is very talented and has the potential to be the top scholar..."

After She finished speaking, Lady Wan interrupted angrily: "Your Majesty is the supreme ruler, how dare the True Dragon Emperor, the God of Literature and Music, slander Your Majesty!"

"Don't worry about these details!!!!" Zhang Yuanqing coughed and said, "I dreamed of a poem last night. It was taught by Wenquxingjun in my dream. Listen carefully, I sleep through the spring and hear birds singing everywhere. There are wind and rain at night. How many flowers have fallen!"

The lyrics are in line with the times and easy to understand. Even elementary school students have heard of this popular song!

"It's a catchy poem!" said Lady Wan.

Zhang Kaiqing nodded with satisfaction, "I also think it is a good poem, and I am quite proud of it, but I am the emperor, and I don't want to be a narcissist and boast about myself. Beautiful lady Wan, you understand what I mean, right?"

Concubine Wan understood, and hurriedly left the bedroom at Zhang Yuanqing's instruction.

Zhang Yuanqing called the palace maids to help him dress, and sat in the hall outside the palace to enjoy breakfast. He keenly noticed that it was unusually silent!

The palace maids would glance at His Majesty's face from time to time with a confused look on their faces, thinking that my aesthetic taste had changed and they were worried about their future.

The eunuch began to doubt his own aesthetic taste!!!!!

Zhang Yuanqing regained his extraordinary cultivation and was like looking at fire from a hole!

Alas, Zhao Shun's only praiseworthy aesthetic taste has also been ruined by me. Forget it, he is a tyrant anyway!

Zhang Yuanqing takes breakfast seriously!

After eating until he was about 70% full, he asked the palace maid to take the food away and lay down on the soft couch in the bedroom to take a nap while waiting for his teammates to see him.

The teammates didn't come, but Li Changshi came!

Just as Zhang Yuanqing was about to speak, he heard the old eunuch with white hair on his lips whisper, "You are Yuanshi Tianzun, right?"
