I Am Immortal In The Cultivation World
Chapter 454 Stay true to yourself
Mao Shi.
The sky will be dark.
Zhou Yi was still dealing with the memorial, with a calm expression on his face, as if he were a machine without emotions.
The memorials that concern the honor, disgrace, life and death of countless people are only right and wrong in Zhou Yi's eyes. They will not make him feel sympathy, nor will they arouse his anger.
At this moment.
The commander of the Imperial Guard hurried in and bowed to report.
"Your Majesty, there are many floods in the city and it is difficult for the Army and Horses Division to contain the fire. Do you allow the Imperial Army to put out the fire?"
Since the 100th anniversary of the Zhengtong Unification, Zhouyi has ordered the cancellation of the kneeling ceremony and formulated relevant laws. Anyone who forces others to kneel down will be whipped.
The officials of the imperial court naturally adapted to not worshiping the emperor, but they were very uncomfortable with the people not worshiping him. They privately incited the people to resume kneeling and worshiping, and even used the Temple of Martial Arts as an excuse.
Zhou Yi chopped off a lot of heads, and no one dared to make an issue about it.
"Go ahead and remember to post a notice. All losses suffered by the people tonight will be compensated with internal funds."
"Your Majesty is kind!"
The commander bowed and left, gathering the imperial guards in the palace to put out the fire in the city.
After Zhou Yi approved a dozen more memorials, he suddenly stood up and said, "I'm tired. Let's go to the palace to rest."
The chamberlain on duty was astonished and looked incredulous. His Majesty had not left the Qinzheng Hall for more than ten years. The younger chamberlain had never even seen His Majesty go to the harem.
Morning court and memorials were handled in the Qinzheng Hall. Occasionally, if I wanted to eat or sleep, I would go to the side hall.
The chamberlain Xiao Luzi was the first to react, with a deep and powerful voice, and said loudly: "Show me in the Wanshou Palace!"
Zhou Yi walked out of the palace door, looked back at the chamberlain behind him, and ordered: "Just follow me, Xiaoluzi. You can sort out the memorial and I will continue to review it tomorrow."
The servants bowed and agreed, looking at Eunuch Lu with envy in their eyes.
Since the Zhengtong Emperor came to the throne, all eunuchs with a pen have been called Xiaoluzi. Today, there have been more than twenty eunuchs, and they have almost become an official title.
Zhou Yi strolled in the palace, neither in a hurry nor in a hurry.
"Xiao Luzi, how many years have you been in the palace?"
"Your Majesty, it's been twelve years."
"How many people are there in the family?"
"Thirty-two bites."
"What does your family do for a living?"
"Thanks to His Majesty's blessing, I received the supply of vegetables from the Shangshan Department."
"..."
The two of them talked incessantly and walked southwest from the Qinzheng Palace. Seeing that the surrounding palaces were getting more and more quiet, Xiaoluzi reminded them in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, this is not the way to Wanshou Palace."
"I know."
Zhou Yi came to an unknown palace and said in a deep voice: "I want to meet an old friend. I met him here back then, and we should end up here."
Xiao Luzi suddenly turned pale and was too cowardly to speak.
Zhou Yi pushed open the palace door, and found luxuriant grass inside. The courtyard wall was damaged in many places, and it was obvious that it had not been repaired for a long time.
Zhou Yi has never chosen a concubine since he ascended the throne, and the harem is empty. This cold palace has lost its usefulness. No one has visited it for hundreds of years, and it is normal for it to be a little dilapidated.
Zhou Yi walked forward and came to the steps that were overgrown with weeds. He waved his true energy and swept them away to clean them up.
He sat down alone and looked up at the sky.
"Xiaoluzi, the sky is not as blue as it was a hundred years ago."
Xiao Luzi replied in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it is said that there are too many workshops burning charcoal, and the black smoke obscures the sky."
Zhou Yi asked: "Is that good or bad?"
"Of course it's a good thing. With those workshops, people can have enough to eat."
Xiaoluzi added: "But in recent years, the people of Shenjing have had enough to eat, and the sky is getting darker and darker, so they have some objections to the charcoal workshop."
Zhou Yi sighed: "So no matter how diligent I am, it will be difficult for me to be perfect."
"Your Majesty, our family is familiar with a subset of classics and history, and may be able to pass the imperial examination when taking the literary examination. However, we have gone through all the dynasties and dynasties, but we have never reached the current level of success."
Xiao Luzi sincerely praised: "You are truly the emperor of all ages!"
"In that case..."
Zhou Yi suddenly asked: "Why did you betray me?"
Plop!
Xiao Luzi knelt on the ground, not daring to hide anything and said: "Your Majesty, that monster threatened the nine tribes and forced the slaves to steal the secrets of the palace."
Zhou Yi stared at Xiao Luzi for a long time, then dispersed the energy gathered in his eyes: "Go to the Third Division and surrender yourself to the law. Maybe you can save your life."
Xiao Luzi kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for sparing my life."
Jie Jie Jie...
There was a burst of strange laughter, followed by billowing black mist, which enveloped the entire Dragon Palace like a dark cloud.
"Having not seen each other for a hundred years, the Governor of Dongchang, who kills without blinking an eye, has actually become soft-hearted?"
Xiaoluzi suddenly screamed in pain, his facial features were twisted and deformed, and a black mist appeared on his face. He jumped up from the ground, and his palms turned into claws to kill Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi's eyes shot up his true energy, penetrating Xiao Luzi's chest and head, and sighed: "Old Lu, there is no need to implicate innocent people in our grudges."
"Our family thought that His Majesty had forgotten his old friend."
The black mist rolled and condensed into a human form, turning into a gray-haired old man. He was the old deer who had not been seen for nearly two hundred years.
"How could you forget?"
Zhou Yi said: "You are the only old friend I have in this world."
"me too."
Lao Lu stood at the door of Leng Palace, carefully looking at Zhou Yi who was sitting casually on the steps, as if they had just met each other, but they had changed places.
"We have a doubt, and we need to ask the Governor for advice."
Zhou Yi nodded and said, "I will tell you everything I know."
"With the Governor's strength and temperament, why should I miss the throne?"
There was a hint of helplessness in Lao Lu's words: "If you don't live like a happy mountain man and love the mountains, rivers and mortal world, our family won't be able to find you, so naturally we won't seek revenge."
"In my eyes, secular imperial power is just child's play."
Zhou Yi said: "However, the endless court affairs can fill my mind. If I don't practice or understand the world, I can always remain myself."
"Keep to yourself?"
Lao Lu looked puzzled, pondered for a moment and nodded: "It seems that after reaching the innate realm, you have changed a lot, not only your cultivation talent, but also your temperament."
Zhou Yi frowned, his family knew his own affairs, and the inner changes were a hundred times more serious than what Lao Lu had seen.
Inexplicable claims, ignorance of the so-called vocabulary, unreasonable knowledge, and even obsession with fairness... The original Governor of Dongchang who only talked about profit is subtly becoming a different person.
"So I have to be busy and not think about anything. If I get caught up in mundane tasks, changes will become slower and slower."
"That's actually the case."
Lao Lu suddenly realized and said regretfully: "Then there is nothing we can do. Since our family knows that you are in the palace, we will definitely come back to seek revenge until death!"
Zhou Yi wondered: "Why is this? Could it be that I, the emperor, did not do well?"
"You, the emperor, have done a great job, unprecedented."
Lao Lu praised: "In the past hundred years, our family has studied ancient and modern history books and found that history is a cycle of reincarnation. Every few hundred years, there will be wise kings and weak kings, and we will experience prosperous and troubled times."
"It just so happens that Xiao Yizi is immortal and a selfless wise king. He may be able to end the catastrophe that occurs once every few hundred years!"
"such a pity……"
The old deer sighed, mist billowing all over his body, and hundreds of heads emerged from his body. They looked different from old to young, monks and laymen, and they were all painful and hideous.
"In order to survive, our family promised God that we would kill you!"
