I Am Immortal In The Cultivation World

Autumn wind and autumn rain.

Su water.

The water on the river was foggy, and the awning boat sailed quickly to the shore.

Zhou Yi stood at the bow of the boat, gently supporting the long pole, with a look of disappointment that couldn't be concealed on his face.

A few days ago, I got the news from Jin Yiwei that there was a white jade turtle in the world along the Sushui River. This is a legendary auspicious beast, and it is not far from Shenjing, so Zhou Yi took leave to investigate.

After finally catching the White Jade Spirit Turtle, it turned out to be another man-made auspicious sign!

"I don't know who came up with the idea. The white jade flakes are inlaid on the turtle shell, and the gossip patterns are specially carved."

Zhou Yi admitted that the fakers were so good at carving, that the jade and the tortoise shell were integrated into one, and ordinary people couldn't recognize the flaws at all.

The auspicious makers are still spreading rumors to create momentum for the birth of the White Jade Spirit Turtle. Now that Zhou Yi cuts off the beard in advance, fishes out the Spirit Turtle and stews it. I don't know if there will be another one in the future.

Sushui Pier.

Rainy days are gone.

Zhou Yi docked the ship and saw that there were well-armored and strong soldiers, and checked the large and small ships one by one.

"Forbidden Army! What happened to Shenjing?"

The imperial army is different from the Beijing camp and the government soldiers, which are directly dispatched by the emperor, and generally do not do this kind of hard work.

Zhou Yi showed his Tianlao badge. In recent years, the name of Lord Zhou has been resounding in Shenjing, and he has not been made trouble by the imperial army.

At the city gate of Shenjing, they were inspected by the forbidden army again.

The doors and windows of the shops in the city were closed tightly, and soldiers patrolled the streets from time to time, and any suspicious pedestrians would be questioned repeatedly.

"I smell a familiar scent!"

The Zhouyi has gone through four dynasties, and only when the court changes drastically, there is such a tense atmosphere.

...

dungeon.

There was a lot of chaos and shouts of grievances.

Captain Lu, with a gray beard, commanded the jailers to detain the criminals by category.

For example, who is a child of an aristocratic family, who is born in a poor family, who is likely to recover from the court, or who has a lot of money in the family...

Zhou Yi asked in a low voice: "Old Lu, what happened in the court?"

"You're lucky. You weren't in Shenjing a few days ago. You can ask them what's the specific matter." Captain Lu is old, and he will retire in a few years, and his words are becoming more and more cautious.

"What's the matter? It took a lot of effort to drink a pot of bastard soup!"

Zhou Yi went to the kitchen to carry the wooden barrels, and treated them differently according to the serial number of the cell door.

The first ten prisons in the B prison are all prisoners with backgrounds and backers, and the porridge is too thick. In the next ten cells, there are prisoners with money, but not all of them buy food.

According to the secret note left by the jailer, Zhou Yi gave an extra spoonful of gruel to those who gave money, but only gruel soup.

With the different treatment in the cell, the starving prisoner naturally knows what to do.

If the unspoken rules cannot be stated, it will become a solicitation for bribes, and people have to figure it out for themselves!

end.

B Prison No. 20.

Shutting an old man alone, Zhou Yi felt that the figure was familiar, and he could see it clearly when he got closer.

"Yo, Lao Yu, why did you come in again!"

Embarrassment flashed across Yu Su's face, and then he said happily: "Brother Li is back, warm the pot of wine for the old man, and ask for two Zhangji pig's trotters."

Zhou Yi smiled and said: "I understand, why don't you come to wait for the weather again?"

"Why are you teasing the old man like this..."

Yu Su blushed immediately, and argued: "You also said that failure is the mother of success. How can I be considered a loser if I fail for a while?"

"Then you now have two mothers."

Zhou Yi teased a few times, seeing Yu Su's complexion turning dark, he searched for wine and meat from the kitchen.

Yu Su seemed to have not had enough food for three to five days. He was devouring his head, gorging on meat and drinking, without the appearance of Fengyang's famous "capable minister of governing the country".

After a while.

"belch."

Yu Su burped, recovered a lot, and suddenly said dejectedly: "Look at this meal, if you want to laugh at it, you can laugh at it. The old man feels ashamed as Zhang Xiangshou."

"What on earth happened?"

Zhou Yi could vaguely guess that there was a coup d'etat in the palace, and it seemed that the Zhang family had won.

Yu Su said: "In a few days, His Majesty will announce that the dragon's body is not healthy, and it will rest in Shangyang Palace, and Zen will be in the crown prince..."

Zhou Yi nodded slightly: "Sounds good, old than you just insist on the inheritance of the eldest son?"

"I don't care who succeeds me. I just took this opportunity to get His Majesty's support for reforming the military and government. Since the Chongming Dynasty, the succession of the eldest son who was not a descendant for three consecutive generations is a serious obstacle to the country. Now the crown prince's succession is indeed a good thing."

Yu Su said slowly: "However, Empress Zhang listened to the government behind the curtain on the grounds that Her Majesty was young!"

"..."

Zhou Yi calculated the prince's age, it was either forty-three or forty-four, and it was nonsense to say he was young.

"Didn't the Zhang family drive themselves to a dead end by doing this?"

"Hmph! Prime Minister Zhang has figured out what His Majesty is thinking, and arranged means in advance to induce His Majesty to carry out the Palace Change by force."

Yu Su said: "It's just that Zhang's party's support has been missed, or there is nothing he can do. Empress Zhang has to listen to the government behind the curtain!"

"Zhang Dang!"

Zhou Yi muttered to himself, understanding what Yu Su said, Empress Zhang was under the influence of the general trend.

The Zhang family is no longer a family with one surname, but a bond of interests between countless people. Once it is broken, it is difficult to maintain it.

Zhang Xiang planned to push the grandson prince to the throne, and then the Zhang family continued to decentralize power. The new king may not kill the Zhang family either because of blood relationship or because of gaining power.

Now Empress Zhang listens to the government behind the curtain, maintaining the interests of the "Zhang Party" in the court, and the Zhang family only has one way to rebel!

Zhou Yi asked curiously: "Old Yu, Zhang Xiang has passed away for 21 years, how did His Majesty calculate?"

"In the old man's opinion, it's not just Zhang Xiang's plan, but His Majesty's own trap!"

Yu Su said: "Back then, Zhang Xiang obtained a volume of magic skills, which could swallow people's inner energy and cultivate them in batches to become innate masters. Before he died, he gave it to His Majesty, and repeatedly told him that with this magic skills, he can stabilize and surpass the outline, and no one will dare to rebel."

"It sounds reasonable."

Zhou Yi knew the master's strength, although he could not fight against thousands of troops head-on, he could easily rush thousands of miles to take the head of the enemy general.

"If you complete the exercises, that's the case."

Yu Su said in a cold voice: "Zhang Xiang has long considered His Majesty's character, and the exercises he gave have huge flaws. When he meets someone who has practiced complete exercises, his entire body will be devoured."

Zhou Yi was surprised and said: "Zhang Xiang can count on His Majesty to eradicate the Zhang family, how can you expect His Majesty to rely on the innate master?"

"Before his death, Prime Minister Zhang left a volume of memorials on governing the country. Ninety-nine percent of the content on it is indeed a good policy for governing the country."

Yu Su explained: "His Majesty has restarted Jinyiwei according to the memorials these years, supported honorable nobles and clans, and sat on the throne extremely securely. He thinks he has understood the content of the memorials."

Zhou Yi tutted, "What's the rest?"

"It is repeatedly mentioned in the memorandum that the one who wins the innate master wins the world, and only the innate master can wait for advice arbitrarily."

Yu Su said: "Your Majesty has been in power for more than 20 years, and he has long believed in the memorial, so this palace change is based on the eight innate masters, and the result is self-evident."

Zhou Yi asked suspiciously: "Isn't Zhang Xiang afraid that His Majesty will think of other ways?"

"You don't need to think about it, my majesty already has the method of peeling off the cocoon, and the Zhang family will definitely have no resistance!"

Yu Su pointed at himself, and then sighed: "However, your Majesty relied on Zhongzong when he was young, and Zhang Xiang when he was middle-aged. He often has mediocre and dull evaluations, so he always wants to prove himself."

Emperor Jing Long probably knew that bringing down the Zhang family through Yu Su was a safer way, but he wanted to prove himself.

However, Emperor Jinglong's method of proof was learned from Zhang Xiang's memorabilia, and the victory or defeat was actually determined from the very beginning!

"Zhang Xiang, it's really... amazing!"

Zhou Yi didn't know how to describe it for a while, he was treacherous, cunning, scheming, scheming, etc. It seems that words can't describe it all.

After all, Emperor Jinglong lived up to the Zhang family, and the crown prince ascended the throne smoothly, so there will be no drastic changes today.

The name of Wen Zhonggong will surely be passed down in history.

Zhou Yi asked again: "In these years, hundreds of officials and nobles have praised His Majesty every day, so why did they easily recognize the Zen position and the act of hanging the curtain?"

Yu Su shook his head and said: "The officials praise His Majesty only because His Majesty meets their needs. Now, the new monarch is more suitable!"

Zhou Yi suddenly realized that he felt sorry for Emperor Jinglong.

When the officials needed him, they praised Emperor Jinglong as the reincarnation of the ancient sage, but now they don't need him, and they wished that Emperor Jinglong would be reincarnated earlier.
