Yu Censhuang said, "Since you want to stay in Changyou Palace, I will serve you here as well."
Fang Jian said calmly, "No need. Go back and rest. This is an order."
Yu Censhuang was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then she smiled and said, "Yes, Censhuang obeys your order."
Afterwards, Yu Censhuang left the Changyou Hall. After Fang Jian watched Yu Censhuang leave, he continued to sit on the sandalwood chair and check the documents that had been piled up for several months.
After an unknown amount of time, the sky outside gradually became dark, and the Changyou Palace was also pitch black.
However, for a Hunyuan Wuji Daluo Jinxian, the night has no effect on his vision at all.
After an unknown amount of time, a ray of light suddenly appeared in the Changyou Hall, and then all the crane lanterns in the Changyou Hall were lit up, and the soft light instantly illuminated the entire Changyou Hall.
Fang Jian raised his head and counted on his fingers to find that eight hours had passed. It was already the Yin hour of the next day.
There weren't actually that many documents, but Fang Jian had to think and ponder over them while reading them, so it took him quite a while.
Fang Jian looked towards the hall below, and saw a gentle and pretty figure illuminated by the rows of crane lanterns on the left side of the hall. It was Yu Censhuang.
After Yu Censhuang lit all the crane lanterns, she turned and walked up the steps. She said to Fang Jian with a serious expression, "Sir, I have thoroughly investigated everything that happened at the Night Patrol Captain's Mansion."
"Hmm?" Fang Jian frowned upon hearing this and asked, "You didn't go back to rest?"
Yu Censhuang shook his head and said, "A deity doesn't need to rest. Tomorrow, the young master will summon those ministers here, so I spent eight hours walking around the Colonel's Mansion and finally found out everything that happened there. Now I will report to the young master."
When Fang Jian heard this, he couldn't help but look at Yu Censhuang with admiration. With such an attitude and ability, he could become a first-rank immortal official in the heavenly court of the three realms of the world. It was rare, rare.
Fang Jian immediately sat up straight, then looked at Yu Censhuang and said, "Sit down and talk."
Upon hearing this, Yu Censhuang thanked him, then turned and walked down the hall, brought a sandalwood chair back up, placed it in front of the table and sat down.
Then Yu Censhuang said, "Sir, if you want to understand what happened at the Night Patrol Captain's Mansion, you must start with the 'Wutai Regent' of the Dao Court..."
Yu Censhuang said, "The Five Regents are also called the 'Five Great Regents' because they preside over the five most powerful ministries in the Dao Court. These five ministries are: the Daoist Master's Office, the Secretariat's Office, the Royal Edicts' Office, the Central Office's Office, and the Imperial Palace's Office."
"Of the five regents of Wutai, apart from Taiyi Daozun who presides over the Imperial Palace, the other four regents are all Daozun of the Three Pure Realms. They are the four Daozun with the highest Daoist attainments and the greatest authority in the Xiantian Wuji Realm."
"The origins of these four Daozun of the Three Purities Realm are also extraordinary. They are four of the 'Five Innate Greats'. The one who presides over the Daoist Master's Office is 'Daozun Taiyi', the one who presides over the Secretariat Office is 'Daozun Taichu', the one who presides over the Royal Rites Office is 'Daozun Taishi', and the one who presides over the Central Office is 'Daozun Taiji'."
"Of course, there was once a 'Taishu Daozun', but you know his story, young master. So the fifth Imperial Palace was supposed to be presided over by 'Taishu Daozun'. However, after Taisu Daozun's rebellion and death, Taiyi Daozun took over. However, Taiyi Daozun is only at the Second Purity Realm, and his Daoist cultivation, prestige, and authority are not as good as the previous four regent Daozun."
"But just five years ago, a conflict broke out between the previous Dao Court's 'Huisheng Daojun' and the 'Taichu Daozun' who presided over the Shangshutai. The cause was that 'Taixun Daozun' of 'Chanlai Kingdom' had executed one of Taichu Daozun's disciples in Chanlai. So Taichu Daozun petitioned 'Huisheng Daojun' to send troops to attack Taixun Daozun."
"But the daughter of Daoist Master Taixun is the 'Holy Queen' of Daoist Master Huisheng, and Daoist Master Taichu's disciple did commit evil in Chanlai, so Daoist Master Huisheng will not approve this petition."
"So, after five years of struggle between the Great Daoist Master Taichu and the Great Daoist Master Huisheng and the Great Daoist Master Taixun, the Great Daoist Master Taichu gained the support of the Great Daoist Master Taishi and the Great Daoist Master Taiyi. He entered the palace and deposed and executed the 'Saint Queen' on the pretext of 'lack of morality and disorderly government.'"
"Although the Holy Queen was from the Chanlai Kingdom, she was the legal wife of Huisheng Da Daojun. So after the Holy Queen was executed, Huisheng Da Daojun secretly issued an edict, preparing to summon the four Dao Kingdoms to raise troops to attack Taichu Da Daojun. However, this edict was intercepted by Taichu Da Daojun. Seeing that the conspiracy had been exposed, Huisheng Da Daojun hurriedly summoned the palace's national warriors to rush out of the 'Da Dao Palace' and call on everyone to attack Taichu Da Daojun."
"Later... the turmoil in the Da Dao Court was quelled by the Daoist Master Taichu. Not long afterward, the Daoist Master Huisheng died of illness, and a new Daoist Master took the throne. This was the Daoist Master Huisheng's younger brother, the current Daoist Master Yuande."
After hearing the statement, Fang Jian couldn't help but ask, "This incident does sound shocking, but what does it have to do with the Night Patrol Captain's Mansion?"
"It has a lot to do with it." Yu Censhuang said, "Just now we talked about how Huisheng Daojun hurriedly summoned the imperial guards to break out of the Dao Palace to attack Taichu Daozun. After the chaos ended, not all of these people were actually executed."
Fang Jian immediately understood what he said, "You mean, some of the palace soldiers who followed Huisheng Daojun to attack Taichu Daozun that day were sent to this Night Patrol Captain's Mansion?"
"Yes," Yu Censhuang said solemnly, "the reason these people weren't executed wasn't because Taichu Daozun was merciful, but because when Huisheng Daojun summoned them, he swore to the 'Innate Yuanshi Treasure Seal' in his name, granting each of his followers 'thirty pardons.'"
