Chapter 280: Unpredictable Human Heart
"Your Majesty has chosen all the things that the old man loves, and the old man will definitely like them."
Hearing the question from His Majesty, the middle-aged Xiao Anzi who was serving beside him also answered with a smile.
"Hahaha, I guess the teacher will like it too. The bottle of Qiannianzui, which is treasured in the palace, has been told to me many times by the teacher, but there are not many left in the palace, and I am a little reluctant to part with it. This time, it is considered to be a farewell to the teacher."
After writing a piece of calligraphy, the middle-aged emperor put down the pen and ink, let the eunuch put it away, and then washed his hands to choose the concubines to visit tonight.
"Crack."
"Boom."
Suddenly, there was a burst of lightning and thunder in the sky in the distance, and then the light of lightning appeared in everyone's eyes, and the sky became a little gray.
"Didn't the Imperial Observatory say that it would not rain tonight? Since the old minister retired, the Imperial Observatory has become more and more perfunctory. I didn't even let anyone send rain gear to the teacher."
Looking at the lightning in the distance, the middle-aged emperor couldn't help but mutter, but he didn't issue an edict to blame the officials of the Imperial Observatory.
Growing up under the wings of his teacher, Wang Ge Lao, the middle-aged emperor, who had not had to worry about government affairs since childhood, developed a kind character.
That is, in recent years, several princes who visited incognito sent back secret reports of some officials who pretended to obey but actually disobeyed. The middle-aged emperor issued an edict to reprimand them, but the cabinet deliberately favored them, and the two sides had some unpleasant quarrels.
Even during the grand court meeting, the middle-aged emperor quarreled with several cabinet ministers, causing shocks in the court and the public.
However, the cabinet system has been passed down for three hundred years, and Wang Ge Lao has served as prime minister for fifty years. He has an outstanding prestige, and all civil officials and military generals bow to him. The power of the cabinet has already surpassed the imperial power.
Thanks to the teacher's thoughtful consideration and retreat at the right time, the middle-aged emperor was also happy to complete a good story of the monarch and his ministers getting along well, and issued an edict to reward three times in one day.
Knowing that the teacher had secretly left the capital, the middle-aged emperor asked the imperial kitchen to prepare the food and wine that the teacher liked and sent someone to deliver it.
"Your Majesty, it's Zhining Palace."
When the middle-aged emperor was distracted, the chief eunuch Xiao Anzi beside him reminded him.
"Yes."
Nodding, the middle-aged emperor walked out of the door of the imperial study and walked along the eaves towards Zhining Palace.
During the period when Wang Ge Lao served as prime minister, he pacified the wars of various countries and lived in harmony with the people. Even the royal expenses were reduced a lot. The middle-aged emperor, who had been advocating frugality since childhood, did not use any luxurious eight-person sedan chair. He usually used a sedan chair or walked.
Although the palace is large, for the middle-aged emperor of the ninth level of the acquired heaven, walking a few steps is just like fitness.
"This is interesting!"
Wang Ren, who was in mid-air, looked at the unpredictable sky, and then used his spiritual sense to sense the movement in the palace, as if he understood something.
However, Wang Ren did not stop it.
This cabinet prime minister of the Ming Dynasty in another world taught the emperor since childhood, but misjudged the character of his disciple at the end, and was taken advantage of by the people in the dark. Who can blame him?
Wang Ren from another world, what does it have to do with Wang Ren!
However, what surprised Wang Ren was that the departure of this Wang Ge Lao actually caused the celestial phenomena to change. The luck of this world he carried should be not small. No wonder he could enter the martial arts with Confucianism and reach the ninth level in one day.
"Have a good journey, Ge Lao!"
As Wang Ge Lao closed his eyes and sat in the pavilion, the six followers knelt down and kowtowed at the same time, and the dozens of guards outside who were soaked by the heavy rain also dismounted and saluted.
Only the eunuch who had the first level of innate cultivation, after confirming the departure of Wang Ge Lao, took the guards back to the palace with complicated eyes to report.
"Alas."
Seeing that a Confucian and Taoist master of the ninth level of innate actually voluntarily died, Wang Ren was somewhat touched, but he did not delay his actions.
Spiritual power surged out, wrapped the spiritual consciousness and body of Wang Ge Lao, turned into a series of brilliance, and merged into Wang Ren's hand to become a crystal stone shining with white light.
"The elder has ascended to heaven!"
"Farewell to the elder!!!"
The followers around the pavilion below saw the elder Wang's body turn into white light and disappear, thinking that he had ascended to heaven, and they were more awed.
Wang Ren, who was in the air, gently pinched his hand, and the crystal stone turned into a tiny light and merged into his soul.
A series of memories emerged in his mind, and Wang Ren seemed to have experienced the life of this legendary elder in a short period of time.
Devoting himself to the country until his death, he spent his whole life for the country and spared no effort. He is indeed a model of a generation of famous ministers!
At the same time, the spiritual power in Wang Ren's body also soared, moving towards the perfection of the first turn of the golden elixir.
"This feeling is indeed not comparable to the help of ordinary elixirs."
Opening his eyes and feeling the spiritual power growing in the golden elixir, Wang Ren couldn't help but show a trace of joy in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
At midnight, the middle-aged emperor who was sleeping heard the knocking and shouting outside, and sat up in surprise.
"Come in?"
The middle-aged emperor, who was wearing a coat with the help of his concubines, sat beside the table and spoke.
"Your Majesty."
After entering the door, Xiao Anzi, who looked flustered, couldn't help but fall to the ground. He didn't behave like a seventh-level innate master at all. He quickly knelt and crawled in front of the middle-aged emperor: "Your Majesty, Lord Wang has ascended to heaven."
"What?!"
Hearing Xiao Anzi's words, the middle-aged emperor stood up suddenly, with a strong murderous look in his astonished eyes.
Even Xiao Anzi, who was at the seventh level of innate, felt that the air was a little heavy, and he crawled on the ground, not daring to say anything.
"Teacher's cultivation has reached the ninth level of innate, how could he die for no reason?"
Taking a deep breath, the middle-aged emperor asked coldly.
"According to the report of the imperial guard who delivered the meal, Mr. Wangge drank the wine given by the emperor and died of the poison caused by the secret of heaven. At that time, Mr. Wangge knew that the wine was poisonous, so he drank the entire bottle of Millennium Drunk and sat in silence. Death. Chen Yunlu, the director of rituals who was responsible for delivering the order, suddenly disappeared on his way back to the city and his whereabouts are unknown."
While reporting what happened, Xiao Anzi kept knocking his head to the ground, not daring to raise his head to look at his master's expression.
Xiao Anzi, who assigned the task to the Supervisor of Ceremonies, knew very well that there was definitely no poison in the bottle of thousand-year drunkenness. The so-called secret leak must have been caused by someone with ulterior motives, and at the same time, he had calculated Mr. Wang Ge's temper.
As an old man who accompanied His Majesty as he grew up, Xiao Anzi knew very well the relationship between His Majesty and Mr. Wangge, which was closer than that of father and son.
Now that Mr. Wang Ge suddenly passed away, I don’t know how many people have died.
"Okay, okay, I have been following the teacher's teachings these years. Only when an emperor treats others in harmony can all flowers bloom. But these people have forgotten that I can also wield a sword."
The middle-aged emperor smiled angrily, recalling the teacher's thoughts when he drank the poisoned wine, and his eyes became colder and colder: "Xiao Anzi, send an order to the Yonghe Camp to blockade the capital. The commander of the Jinyi Guards has been sent to the palace, and I want to let him Those rebellious officials and traitors were buried with the teacher."
"According to the order."
After hearing His Majesty's decree, Xiao Anzi was a little frightened, but also a little excited.
Only by suppressing the arrogance of those civil servants can they, the old men in the palace, have a chance to gain power.
——
He didn't go to see the bloody turmoil in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, nor did he go to investigate the innate peak warrior hidden deep in the palace of the capital. After Wang Ren absorbed the luck of the old Wang Ge elder, he left two buildings in the study room of the other party's old house. Kidan No. 2 is a favor for both parties.
Then, Wang Ren rushed to the Xisha Buddhist Kingdom where he was visiting, preparing to return to China.
As for whether the descendants of the Wang family can make use of the two Foundation Building Pills No. 2, it depends on their luck and has nothing to do with Wang Ren.
Within an hour, Wang Ren came to the huge defensive formation again and used the breath gathering technique to pass through the formation.
"Who is here? Please show up and see me."
Lord Xina Buddha, who had been preparing carefully all day, noticed something strange through a slight fluctuation. His figure quickly appeared in the air, with his hands clasped together, and the golden Buddha light illuminated the entire world of Buddha.
