Chapter 572

Zhang Fu

At this time, Prime Minister Zhang Dun was standing alone on the inside of the book case, looking at the rich red gift list in front of him, looking stunned.

"Shen Wang, Jian Wang, Xin Wang, Duan Wang... I really think highly of myself."

He scanned all the gift lists one by one, but when he saw Duan Wang, he suddenly stopped.

For Duan Wang Zhao Ji, he could not understand more. He was gifted in poetry, song and Fu, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. More than that, this one is good at sound, color, dog and horse, comfort and pleasure. He is simply a replica of the former and future Lord Li Yu.

"If such a frivolous person ascends to the top, wouldn't it do great harm to the country?"

There was an undisguised irony in his eyes. As a prime minister, he naturally saw everything clearly. What he needed to be a qualified emperor was not those useless things.

Leng hum, without looking at the gift list, he threw it aside. At this time, his eyes turned back, but he lingered around in the rest of the gift list.

However, after pondering for a long time, he hesitated between Zhao Yu, king of Shen, and Zhao Xiang, king of Jian. As for the rest of the princes, no matter which aspect is insufficient, naturally they are not considered.

Of course, this matter is not what he can do alone. Lord, we still need to consult with you in power and the Empress Dowager in the palace before we can decide.

"Hey..."

Suddenly, he sighed. If the officials had no children, and suddenly died suddenly, even the imperial edict had no time to stay, how could there be such trouble?

"Da Da..."

But at this time, a burst of footsteps suddenly came from the outside, which immediately interrupted his meditation. Looking up, it was the housekeeper in his house.

"Master, housekeeper Liu of Lord Shen's house came to see you."

"Shen Wang? Hasn't he been here once?" Zhang Dun paused with some consternation, and then said,

"You go and reply to him. As a prime minister, I will be impartial in some things. There is no possibility of favoritism. I also let him wait at ease without frequent activities and criticism."

"Yes"

The housekeeper answered and turned away.

Outside the prime minister's house, housekeeper Liu sighed helplessly. The Lord asked him to come and express his attitude. As a result, he was "invited" out without even seeing him. What should I do?

When I was worried, I suddenly saw a familiar figure coming not far ahead. His face was frozen. He was familiar with the man. Who was it that wasn't King Jane's house?

Housekeeper Liu frowned. Didn't this man come once yesterday? Somehow, I always think something's wrong there. Instead of staying any longer, he turned back to his royal residence at a high speed.

……

"See the Empress Dowager."

"Ladies and gentlemen, please rise."

In Baoci palace, the Empress Dowager summoned all the important officials in the East and West Houses to discuss important matters. As for what it is, everyone knows it.

"The sudden death of an official family is a tragedy for the whole country. However, the country must not be without a king for a day, or there will be chaos." at this point, he paused to the empress dowager, glanced at the ministers, and then said,

"The new gentleman is sorry for a woman. People can't make up their mind. That's why they hurriedly summoned everyone."

At the moment, all the ministers and workers standing below are the highest leaders of the power of the Song Dynasty. Their words and deeds determine the fate of the world.

"Tell the empress dowager, the old minister thinks that we should choose one between the ninth Prince and the thirteenth prince." Zhang Dun took the lead in speaking out his opinions,

"In terms of seniority, it should be king Shen, who is the eldest brother of the emperor of the official family, or King Jian, who is the brother of the same mother of the official family, which is in line with the law of etiquette."

The hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Zhang Dun in a strange way, with different expressions. They didn't know whether they were admiring or mocking.

"Zhang Xiang's remark is too hasty. Duan Wang, Xin Wang and Mu Wang are all close brothers of the official family. Why are they directly excluded? Isn't it unfair?"

"Duan Wang is frivolous. How can he be the king of the world? Moreover, the two kings of Xinmu are neither eldest brother nor talented. They don't have to consider it."

"Duan Wang is talented and handsome. How can he be frivolous?"

"You..."

"Well, it's all about the current Dynasty. What's the matter with such a quarrel?"

But at this time, she suddenly opened her mouth to the Empress Dowager and interrupted their argument. His eyes turned to another person, who knew that the Privy Council had been informed. Nodding slightly to him, you said,

"The mourning family has no children, so there is no difference between legitimate and common people. The princes are all common people. They are naturally qualified to inherit the throne above the rites and laws."

"What the Empress Dowager said is true. Zhang Xiangli's law is a little biased. I heard that all the princes gave generous gifts to the prime minister's house yesterday. Is it because the gifts given by others are thinner that Zhang Xiangxiang favors one over the other?"

"Zeng Bu, you dare to slander the truth!"

Zhang Dun looked ugly and stared at each other.

"Zhang Xiang speaks carefully. I'm just telling the truth. If I offend, I hope Haihan." Zeng Bu arched his hand, but there was no apology in his face.

"You princes are not perfect, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. The so-called monarch rules by bowing to the arch, even if there are some imperfections, it will not hurt the great elegance. We and other courtiers will assist in repairing the defects and omissions."

"Sophistry."

Zhang Dun looked gloomy. How could he not hear the hidden meaning in each other's words? He was just whitewashing for Duanwang. However, Zhao Ji is not only inappropriate, but his personality is taboo for the king.

"We all have our own opinions. It's not a way to argue like this. We might as well listen to the Queen Mother's opinions. In this way, as long as we have no objection, we can decide what to do?"

At this time, a figure suddenly came out. It was Cai Bian, Zuo Cheng, the Minister of justice. His position was high and powerful. Naturally, he had great influence. When his voice fell, most of the people were silent. It was obvious that they recognized his suggestion.

Zhang Dun was about to stop talking. Somehow, he always had a bad hunch. However, he saw that all the people had no words, and it was not good for him to offend the anger of the people.

"It's up to you to decide the result, or to shirk the embarrassment to the mourning family." the Empress Dowager seemed to have some helplessness. After thinking about it, he continued,

"The AI family is a woman family, and it doesn't have much insight. However, when the former Emperor Shenzong was in power, he said that the Duan king had longevity and benevolence and filial piety. Therefore, the AI family felt that it could be established as a king. What did the Qing families think?"

"Empress Dowager..." hearing the words of Empress Dowager Xiang, Zhang Dun suddenly changed his face slightly and was about to refute, but he was interrupted by Zeng bu,

"As the former Emperor said, that is the holy meaning. Duan Wang is blessed with longevity, benevolence and filial piety, and also has great talent. If he is an emperor, he will become a generation of sages, Mingjun, and the minister will agree."

"The vision of the former Emperor must not be within our reach. In this case, the old minister agreed." Cai Bian bowed and agreed.

"Minister also seconded"

“……”

In a flash, the situation suddenly changed, and several rulers on the spot seemed to have discussed it long ago. They all chose to agree, and immediately made Zhang Dun's face change again.

So, isn't he completely isolated? Want to refute, however, looking at the people's smiling eyes, I suddenly felt a chill in my heart and didn't have the courage to speak.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager seemed relieved at last, smiled and said:

"Since all the ministers have no opinion, let's make a decision. It's not too late, Zhang Xiang. You'll be responsible for this. Other ministers will help. Don't make mistakes and cause unrest."

"Old minister obeys orders." Zhang Dun, aware of the hopelessness of opposition, could not help but sigh secretly and bowed to answer.

……

The change of people and emperors, the change of Qi and fortune, and a slight change will shake the world.

Huainan, Maoshan.

At this time, the old Taoist who was sitting cross legged on the top of the mountain suddenly opened his eyes and looked to the West. At the end of the sky, gold gas surged and visions were frequent, and his eyebrows could not help but frown.

For a long time, I didn't know what I thought, and suddenly sighed:

"The number of days has changed, but still embarked on the original destiny. I don't know whether this choice is right or wrong?"

Just at this time, I saw a figure suddenly emerge, like a misty breeze, changeable, and jumped to the top of the mountain in less than a moment.

"Elder martial brother Liu, you're all right."

The visitor is also a Taoist, but his chronology is small and his temperament is extraordinary.

"It's the younger martial brother of the headmaster. I'm polite," Taoist Liu asked,

"Younger martial brother, are you here for the change of the throne?"

"Exactly." the headmaster nodded,

"When the new emperor ascends the throne, Mao Shan can't help saying something. What's more, the disaster is coming, and it's time to deal with it. This matter is very important, and senior brother must go there in person."

Upon hearing this, Taoist Liu became dignified and paused before he replied:

"Well, let's wait for the poor road to tidy up a little and set off today."

"One more thing." the headmaster suddenly said again,

"Elder martial brother, you must pay attention to one person when you go to Bianjing."

"Are you talking about the flying cloud?"

"The elder martial brother already knew, but the younger martial brother was worried too much." the leader nodded immediately and then said,

"A few months ago, Taoist friend Shi sent a letter, in which he specifically mentioned this feiyunzi and called him the highest cultivation level in today's world, which is beyond the reach of his teacher, immortal Ziyang."

"Taoist friend cuixuan has always been cautious. Since he has this judgment, he will certainly be right." Taoist Liu frowned and then said,

"In that case, you must meet this person, or there will be twists and turns in that matter."

……

Although the discussion in the palace is secret, it can't really be kept secret. Within a few hours, the news of Wang Weijun swept the whole Bianjing city like a cold winter wind.

However, what happened later surprised all forces inside and outside the government and the public. The throne is so tempting. I thought there would be a battle between dragons and tigers next, but I didn't expect that things went very well and didn't cause any waves.

Time passed slowly under this strange situation, and a few days passed in the twinkling of an eye.

Chu house.

At this time, Chu Feng was sitting in a stone pavilion in the backyard, drinking tea and observing the direction of the imperial city. Xiaocui stood quietly not far away and looked at her childe in a daze.

"Master, I'm back."

Suddenly, I saw a purple light flying from the sky and falling to his shoulder in an instant. Who would it be if it wasn't Xiaozi? Before Chu Feng responded, Xiaocui on one side had already opened her eyes and stared at each other.

"You go down first."

"Maid, leave."

Xiaocui is reluctant to part with her, but she also knows that the childe must have something important, and then she leaves skillfully.

"How's it going? Is there any harvest?" seeing that Xiaocui went away, Chu Feng asked.

"Of course, I have found all their nests." Xiao Zi patted her chest, very proud. After a pause, he said,

"The master doesn't know. There are not only four but seven big bug monks. There are also seven mayfly temples guarded, all distributed in different places."

"Seven seats!"

Chu Feng was surprised. The four monks who went to the north to activate the dragon vein a few days ago have returned. He sent Xiao Zi to set out for the first time in order to find the nest of the remaining monk, but he didn't expect such a surprise.

"Yes, they are all big insects like the centipede monk." Xiao Zi couldn't wait to explain. She looked like she wanted to invite merit. She seemed to think of something and suddenly said,

"By the way, I have left all the locations of the mayfly temple for zihuo surveillance. Does the master want to see it?"

"Oh, Xiao Zi is so powerful that she can think so thoroughly." Chu Feng praised at the right time, which immediately made the other party smile and replied shyly,

"It's all right, master. Please look."

Then, with a gentle wave of his little hand, five purple light groups suddenly burst out, turned into purple light curtains and suspended in the air.

Chu Feng couldn't help but see that Xiao Zi had this strange ability to show the panorama of the mayfly temple in real time, which was no different from the live broadcast.

Although the five mayfly temples are located in different places, the overall scene is similar. They are all dilapidated temples for some years. There is no one in the temple except a demon monk.

"So there is the same lock Longjing underground?"

"Well, it's the same as the previous two places." Xiao Zi nodded definitely.

Chu Feng was silent and thought carefully in his mind. Suddenly, his palm slowly floated, and the same illusory light curtain emerged, which is the detailed map of song, Liao, Xixia and so on.

"Point out the location of these temples."

"Ah..." Xiao Zi was stunned. It seemed that she hadn't considered these before. She unconsciously grabbed her hair and recalled it. After a long time, I replied,

"It seems here, here... And here."

With the little purple's pointing, a little dim light gradually lights up in the map. In addition, there are seven positions in the original two places.

"Northern Huining Prefecture, Yanjing, Taiyuan, Bianjing, Hangzhou, Tanzhou, Sichuan and Shu."

"Eh!"

Suddenly, Chu Feng seemed to have found something and couldn't help but wonder.

"What did the master see?" asked Xiao Zi curiously.

Chu Feng did not answer, but raised his hand. In an instant, a light connected all the mayfly temple sites, and immediately formed a strange shape.

"Look, what does it look like?"

"Like... Like a spoon." Xiao Zi suddenly reacted,

"It's the Big Dipper!"

"Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, Yaoguang, the gathering of seven stars, and the lock Longjing under each mayfly temple. Is this a coincidence or is it deliberately?"

Chu Feng seemed to stare at the light curtain and meditate for a long time.
