I Have a Luck Altar Chapter 561

Chapter 561 The Shaken Capital

Jingtai nine years, June fourteenth.

It has been a whole day since Chen Yuan ascended to the post of Tianzi God Envoy of Xuntiansi. People in the capital who should or should not know know about it.

Chen Yuan's limelight was the same for a while.

Do not,

To be precise, after Chen Yuan returned to the capital from Liangzhou, his limelight was unmatched by anyone. He was at the center of discussions among idlers in the capital, and he could be called a man who lived on the 'Hot Search'.

Not to say that everyone pays attention to him, but there are definitely not a few who pay attention to him.

For a while, the capital shook again.

Chen Yuan felt that the people in the capital were shocked.

But this, in the eyes of some people, is far from reaching its peak. The hustle and bustle of discussion in the capital and the information from the palace can basically make people sure that the emperor intends to recruit Chen Yuan as his son-in-law!

Princess Pingyang, who had always been very resistant to getting married, did not order someone to clarify because of this matter. Obviously, this is a sign that good things are about to happen.

Combining the fact that Chen Yuan was granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households, and now he has become the envoy of Tianzi of Xuntiansi, it is even more imaginative.

Is the emperor preparing to recruit a son-in-law?

If that's the case, this Chen Yuan will be amazing. In the future, he will most likely become a truly peerless figure at the Zhu Kingdom level in the court.

It made many people who saw through this matter envious.

Appreciated by the emperor, with great power, with a reputation of being powerful in the world, and also supported by a wife like the eldest princess who is both civil and military, and has both ability and political integrity.

Isn't this a winner in life?

But Chen Yuan, who is admired by so many people, has never thought so. The higher he stands, the harder he falls. He must be cautious in his words and deeds during these few days in the capital.

Especially under the premise of not planning to marry Pingyang.

He could already imagine the scene when Jingtai was furious.

As a courtier, disobeying the holy will, I am afraid that few people in the court would dare to do this, but he has no choice, he does not want to become a dog of the Sima family.

He wants the Sima family to be his dog.

You can't be fooled by Jingtai, and you are forced to make an oath!

During this day, apart from deepening friendship with several divine envoys, Chen Yuan understood some yamen and power of Xuntiansi, he was still planning for himself.

With his current status and power, it is very easy to find out about Jiuhejiang, Longmendu, and Yanshan.

He has understood Jiuhejiang before. Although he has a one-sided understanding, there is no need to take the opportunity too deeply. His main purpose is still on Longmendu and the rocky mountain.

As the name suggests, the rock mountain is different from ordinary mountains. The main structure is very hard rock. It is said that it used to be a rare mine, but it has already been hollowed out.

However, the texture is still very hard, otherwise it would not be able to withstand the confluence of nine rivers here.

Longmendu is located in the rocky mountain river, its origin is related to the second prophecy, the second sentence is "June 15 carp fragrance".

According to his investigation, every June is the time when carp gather in the nine rivers, especially on June 15th. Although carp is not the only fish, carp is the most abundant and is more popular among the people.

So, in this season, people on both sides of the river start to catch carp, and this time is also the time when carp is most plump.

It will attract the people of Lin'an Mansion to go.

When the carps gather, they will jump from the Jiutiao River to the Jiuhe River. The location is in a water gathering place in Yanshan, so it has the elegant name of Longmendu.

When the carps were scrambling to jump over the Dragon Gate at the beginning, they also attracted the attention of many people in the rivers and lakes. They thought there might be treasures here, but after careful searching, they didn't find any treasures. There was only mud underneath.

Gradually, after many years of development, Longmendu in Basic Mountain became a gathering place for ordinary people.

Because the carp leaping over the Dragon Gate is an allusion handed down, it is regarded as auspicious, and many young men and women make love while admiring the moon, which is equivalent to a lantern festival.

However, this is only what most people think. At least under the guidance of chance, Chen Yuan understood that those carp scrambling to leap over the Dragon Gate on the night of the full moon must be more than that simple.

It is likely to be related to the Dragon Ball guided by chance.

And tomorrow is June 15th!

It is naturally impossible for Chen Yuan to be late. He has no specific division of responsibilities and is in a high position. He is very free now, and no one will take care of him.

Even if there is, he can still refuse because of his injuries.

After deciding to go, Chen Yuan didn't hesitate, and if it's too late, things will change. Anyway, staying in the capital is nothing to do, so it's better to go and see the famous Longmen Ferry.

When Chen Yuan was about to leave, another familiar guest came to his mansion.

is Zhang Yantong's second daughter, Zhang Wanshu.

"Why is Second Sister here?"

Chen Yuan invited him to the mansion and ordered him to serve tea.

Zhang Wanshu said with some concern:

"I heard from my father that you accidentally suffered some injuries two days ago. How are you doing now? Is there any serious problem?"

"It's just some minor injuries, please worry about the second sister."

Chen Yuan smiled faintly.

"Oh."

Second Sister Zhang responded, lowering her eyes, wondering what she was thinking about. Seeing this, Chen Yuan knew that Zhang Wanshu might have something to do, and immediately asked directly:

"Second sister is here this time, what is the matter?"

"Um."

She nodded her head.

"If there is anything Chen can help, I will definitely not be stingy in helping." When the other party comes, it must be aimed at him, and he will indeed not refuse if he can do his best.

Not to mention the friendship that Second Sister Zhang gave him a talisman before, just for the sake of Zhang Xuan and Zhang Yantong, Chen Yuan will also help.

It's just that she really can't figure it out, with Zhang Yantong as the envoy, what can the other party ask for from him?

"real?"

Second Sister Zhang raised her head and looked at him with hope.

"real."

"Don't lie to me?"

Seeing Second Sister Zhang showing this young daughter's posture in front of him for the first time, Chen Yuan also couldn't laugh or cry, and said quickly:

"Second sister, don't worry, I will never lie to you."

Zhang Wanshu hesitated for a moment, then whispered:

"I have always grown up in the capital, and I have rarely been to other places. A while ago, I heard from the housekeeper of the mansion that there will be a lantern festival in Lin'an Mansion tomorrow, and there will be a beautiful scene of carp jumping over the dragon gate. I want to go and see it.

I heard that this leap to the Dragon Gate is the most grand event in the past ten years. I...I don't want to miss it. "

As she spoke, Zhang Wanshu's face suddenly turned red.

After all, she also knows that it is a bit shameful for her daughter's family to invite men to attend this kind of lantern festival, but who told Chen Yuan that he has never been enlightened?

When she didn't look for him, he kept pretending to be deaf and dumb.

The words she heard outside the door before had made her firm in her mind. Even if the capital said that Chen Yuan would become a son-in-law, as long as he didn't want to, she would believe it.

"This"

Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, a little surprised and uncertain.

Second Sister Zhang actually invited him to Lin'an Mansion, and the destination was Longmendu!

His main concern is not the other party's invitation, but at this destination, how could it be such a coincidence? As soon as he had this idea, the other party actually came!

He couldn't help but startled, and his thoughts scattered.

He can be sure that no one will know his intention to go to Lin'an, which also proves that this incident is indeed a coincidence, does that mean,

Even if he didn't get the guidance of that chance, would it be possible to get the chance?

God?

No, it shouldn't be.

He is not a fun-seeking character. If there is no chance to guide him, he has a high probability of refusing to go to Lin'an Mansion.

He was originally a suspicious character, this coincidence really made him a little suspicious.

"What's the matter? You, you just said you wouldn't lie to me."

Second sister Zhang looked at Chen Yuan's stunned expression, thinking that he didn't want to agree.

"Oh no. It's nothing, I just thought of something." Chen Yuan quickly regained his mind, showing no surprise.

"The guards in the Fuchu have been unable to leave their bodies for the past few days, so..."

Chen Yuan stared at Zhang Wanshu and smiled.

Can't get away?

This reason is really lame. As a third-rank official of the court, Miss Qianjin, how could it be possible that she can't get a few guards? However, he did not expose the other party, he just said:

"Oh."

"Then you might as well come with me."

"I"

"You just said not to lie to me."

Staring at the other party's big watery eyes, Chen Yuan sighed softly. He wouldn't even talk to anyone else, but Second Sister Zhang is different after all.

"You can go together, but you have to listen to me in everything."

This trip should not be dangerous. Although the second sister Zhang's cultivation is only Ning Gang, it is not a burden. Besides, she has already agreed before, and it is not a man who breaks her promise.

Just go there.

Anyway, I have already obtained the position of envoy, and I will leave the capital in a short time.

"Okay, I will listen to you. I will do whatever you ask me to do, and I will never cause you any trouble." Second Sister Zhang stared with big eyes, her face full of joy.

"Then Second Sister, go back and prepare first, we will leave later, so as not to delay the time."

"No, I'm ready."

Zhang Wanshu smiled lightly.

Chen Yuan: "."

Princess Mansion.

Princess Pingyang looked cold, her fingers moved slowly on the strings, and a chilling melody enveloped the entire mansion, making many maidservants tremble with fear.

Since the "Imperial Palace Banquet" a few days ago, they could see that the Eldest Princess was very unhappy, especially after going to Shuanghe Temple.

After a long time, Princess Pingyang's finger that plucked the strings stopped, but the sound of the piano still echoed.

There was no one in the small pavilion except Princess Pingyang, but she turned her gaze to the rear.

"See Your Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

"What is it?"

The man in black knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice:

"Return to Your Highness, according to the information obtained by my subordinates, Chen Yuan and Zhang Yantong's daughter Zhang Wanshu have left the city together."

"Zhang Wanshu" Ping Yang frowned:

"What did you go to do?"

"From the information obtained by the Zhang Mansion, it can be deduced that he should have gone to Lin'an Mansion to watch fish."

"Longmen Ferry?"

"Yes."

"I know."

Princess Pingyang has no other expressions, she is very cold from beginning to end.

"News came from Liangzhou that a group of alien war horses disappeared from the Beiliang Army Racecourse some time ago. It seems that His Majesty is also investigating this matter."

"Um."

"Elder Prince"

The man in black kept reporting to Princess Pingyang about the current situation in the capital and the world. He seemed to sit at home and know everything about the world.

"Any more?"

"There has been a change in the Heavenly Demon Palace and the Liangshanshuibo Village in Xuezhou. According to the news sent back, two state officials of the imperial court in Xuezhou were killed again. They should be the ones who did it."

"understood."

"The subordinate resigns."

"Um."

Princess Pingyang nodded, and continued to pluck the strings under her body.

The capital, the Royal Study Room.

Jingtai drew a picture of a blood moon covering the sky on the desk. Below the picture is a very magnificent city. If you look closely, you can see that it is somewhat similar to the capital city.

And the blood moon covered the sun's light, covering the whole world, giving it a weird and evil feeling.

Jingtai squinted his eyes, revealing a trace of coldness, fixedly staring at the position of Xueyue, with some eagerness and yearning.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Cao is here."

"Let him in."

Jingtai heaved a sigh of relief, waved his hand and put away the map of the blood moon covering the sky on the desk, and restored its original appearance again.

Cao Zhengxian walked into the imperial study with a serious face, bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty."

"coming?"

"Um."

"What happened?"

Jingtai stared at Cao Zhengxian and asked.

"The king of Zhennan sent a message, and the monsters in southern Xinjiang have changed. Recently, more than a dozen incidents of monsters entering and harming the people have been found. He estimates that the south may no longer be stable in the future."

As he spoke, Cao Zhengxian's face was extremely serious.

It was only in the past few hundred years that the northern barbarian cavalry harassed the border and became a major problem in the Central Plains. Before that, the real major problem in the entire Central Plains was the monster race in the 100,000 mountains in southern Xinjiang.

The turning point of the matter began five hundred years ago. In order to completely wipe out the evil, the former Chu emperors of that generation gathered and mobilized the power of the entire imperial court to launch a life-and-death battle in southern Xinjiang that lasted for several years.

In that battle, the monsters in southern Xinjiang were disabled, and in exchange for the stability that has been around for about five hundred years, although there are also monsters making trouble, they are no longer as rampant as they used to be.

But that battle also damaged most of the elite of the former Chu, and the decline of the dynasty has planted the root of disaster since then.

However, due to the achievements of that generation of emperors, he was given the posthumous title of 'Wu'.

However, although the Yaozu has been stable for a long time, anyone with some experience and cultivation will know that the Yaozu has only been recuperating in the past few hundred years.

Now there is a change, maybe the five hundred years of stability are coming to an end.

That's why Cao Zhengxian looked like he was facing a big enemy.

Before Chen Yuan was ordered to enter Beijing, Cao Zhengxian had such worries, and now it is even more serious.

"Yaozu." Jingtai frowned and said softly:

"Things are coming together soon."

He just wanted to start his own big plan, just started to gather the power in the court, and everything was still progressing steadily, but there was such a movement from the Yaozu.

It also made him wonder, is it because he has done so many crimes that even God doesn't give him a chance to rejuvenate?

"Yeah, not long ago, the blood state was still in chaos, attacking and killing officials in the two prefectures, causing a lot of trouble, I didn't expect that the demon clan would start to make trouble before the court was free to deal with these demonic monsters. "

Cao Zhengxian sighed softly. He is an eunuch, but he is also from the Central Plains. The most despicable thing is the scene of the evil cannibal. Fortunately, the only thing to be thankful for is that the war in the north is over.

Otherwise, if the North and the South together with the Blood State rebelled, the imperial court would definitely not be able to sustain it.

"Decree, tell Nangong Lie that the imperial court has supported him so much these years, and these monsters must be firmly blocked from Nanzhou!

The current situation cannot be chaotic. "

Jingtai said in a low voice with gloomy eyes.

"Yes, the old minister obeys."

"In addition, the decree was sent to the Xuntian Division to ask the governor Xiao to give Jiang He, the golden envoy of Qingzhou, and Lu Renjia, the golden envoy of Shuzhou, a strict order to order them to dispatch their own forces to help the two prefectures of Xuezhou. This is the face of the imperial court. , there can be no loss."

"Yes, the old minister obeys."

"Also, tell Xiao Jing that it will be useful for me to transfer all the prisoners detained in the sky prison to the palace prison no matter what crime they committed."

Jing Tai condensed his voice.

Cao Zhengxian was stunned for a moment, but seeing the solemn and gloomy face of the emperor, he moved his mouth, but he still didn't ask what is the use of these powerful suspects.

Is it necessary to execute immediately?

"Um?"

"Yes, the old minister complies."

Jingtai took a deep breath and continued:

"Send some treasures from the secret realm of the royal family to Duke Wei and Duke Zhen. Don't lose them."

"The old minister will do it now."

"and many more."

"What orders does Your Majesty have?"

"The court meeting has been postponed for a few days. I am not feeling well recently, so I won't go to court."

"Your Majesty encountered problems in practice?"

Emperor Tiandan cultivation base, all diseases are free from all diseases, and the wind and cold are not close, so it is impossible to feel unwell. Cao Zhengxian thought that there should be something wrong with his practice, or maybe the oppression of the national destiny has become heavier.

"Well, that's true." Jingtai admitted with a nod.

"Do you want the old minister to help His Majesty?"

Cao Zhengxian asked with concern.

This kind of court is in a critical moment, if something goes wrong with the emperor, the problems will be too great!

"No, I can handle it."

"The old minister understands."

"By the way, what is Chen Yuan doing now?" Jingtai felt uncomfortable when he thought of giving him the position of Tianzi Divine Envoy. This position can be given to him, but it must be achieved by his plan.

Not now, because of the matter of practice, the court meeting will be postponed, which makes him feel a little uncomfortable.

Cao Zhengxian took a look at Jingtai, and quickly took out a sound transmission talisman from his sleeve. After a while, he was silent for a moment, and said truthfully:

"Return to Your Majesty, Marquis Wu An has left the city."

"What are you doing out of town? Isn't he recuperating?"

Jingtai frowned.

"It's still under investigation, but when Marquis Wu'an left the city, he took Zhang Yantong's daughter Zhang Wanshu with him. They walked out from the south gate, which should be in the direction of Lin'an Mansion."

"I'm devastated here, but he takes a woman on a tour?" Jingtai took a deep breath, feeling even more upset.

"The purpose is not yet known, the old minister will investigate now."

Cao Zhengxian said quickly.

"No need, just go about your business and don't pay attention to him." When Cao Zhengxian was about to walk out of the imperial study, Jingtai said calmly.

Looking back, Cao Zhengxian bowed and said:

"Yes, the old minister complies."
