I Borrowed a Brain from the Almighty

This year, Zhang Ronling was forty years old and Chen Luo was sixty-three years old.

His hair is gray and there are wrinkles on his face, but long-term practice makes him look less old, and his energy and energy are still at their peak.

Zhang Ronling's aura is getting stronger and stronger, and his emotions and anger are invisible. Everyone around him will have a sense of awe when facing him, and his aura is becoming more and more like those Pavilion elders. Today, Zhang Ronling has become the banner of the new party. His own influence is mixed with the new party, making his influence in the new party very important.

"This is an opportunity."

In the small courtyard of the back house, Zhang Ronling and Chen Luo were sitting by the pond, holding two fishing rods in their hands.

Green bricks and tiles, a pond, two people, a tree and the setting sun.

After serving as officials in Dizhou for seven years, both uncle and nephew started this hobby. The purpose is not to fish, but to enjoy the process. The calamity aura in Zhang Ronling's body became heavier, and his power became stronger and stronger. However, the outside elders, Rongring, became weaker and weaker, and the calamity aura began to eat away at his Dao foundation.

The Dao Foundation is the foundation of every foundation-building monk. If the Dao Foundation is damaged, the path will be gone.

"The person who committed the crime was the Prince Consort of Qi, and the princess and Prince Rui were behind it. Mr. Zhou Ge obviously didn't want to get involved in this matter, so he left it to me."

Zhang Ronling sat here as usual and talked about his views on this matter.

"What are you going to do?"

Chen Luo asked the fifth question.

The inner demon tribulation is also a celestial tribulation, and it is also divided into tribulations.

Every choice is a calamity, and the choices Zhang Ronling makes are experiencing calamity.

"Of course he is impartial and impartial."

Zhang Ronling's eyes flashed, and he had a plan in his heart.

"Only in this way can the benefits be maximized. I need a good reputation. Only a higher reputation can help me join the cabinet and become the prime minister!"

If people have colors, Zhang Ronling is simply gray now. Black and white can no longer be seen in him, and there is no way to tell whether he is a good guy or a bad guy. When his interests require it, he is a good man, a selfless and selfless master. When profit is not needed, he is the most greedy dog ​​official, a villain who sucks out the bones and marrow.

His original intention has not changed from the beginning, and what he pursues is still 'fame and wealth'.

"This will offend a lot of people."

Chen Luo looked at the fishing rod in his hand and clearly felt that the Heart Demon Jue had drawn more power. When Heavenly Tribulation absorbed Elder Rongling, the Heart Demon Jue intercepted part of it from Heavenly Tribulation. This intercepted power, It is the main source of power of the Heart Demon Art.

In the past, when Chen Luo practiced the Heart Demon Art, he always felt that the speed of refining Qi was not enough. Even after incorporating the Black Stone Secret Technique, the speed of refining the Qi was very average. It was not at the same level as the Demon Bone Formation Art. At that time, Chen Luo didn't understand why the mummy brain fell in love with this technique, but now he knows.

"There is gain only when there is sacrifice."

Zhang Ronling put down the fishing rod and walked out of the small courtyard.

Looking at his back, Chen Luo withdrew his gaze, and his body was like a black hole, beginning to absorb the calamity energy around him.

This year, Zhang Ronling took charge of Dali Temple and tried the 'Husband Murder Case' despite pressure from many parties.

Being selfless and selfless, he killed many people, including more than 20 royal family members, and more than 100 officials from the capital to other places who were implicated. It can be said that the whole world was in an uproar. The case shocked the world, and Zhang Ronling's name spread throughout the world for the first time. Countless scholars regarded him as an idol, and the groups whose interests were violated hated him and gnashed their teeth. But these did not affect Zhang Ronling's rise. After completing the case, his name was deeply rooted in the emperor's heart, he was nominated by the cabinet, and he was expected to join the cabinet.

In front of the Zhang Mansion, there was a bustling crowd.

Time passed, and two years later, Zhang Ronling was forty-two years old.

He finally heard the news, and the emperor ordered him to join the cabinet.

Everything will be settled tomorrow.

As long as he makes the right move, he is expected to become the prime minister at the age of fifty, and by then he will be the most powerful man in the world! With such momentum, even Mr. Zhou Ge could not suppress him. More and more people gathered around him, and there was a faint tendency to separate from the New Party and become a third party.

night.

Light rain.

Zhang Ronling stood in the yard. The lanterns on both sides of the corridor swayed with the rainy wind. On the distant pond, from time to time, some small fish came out of the water to breathe. The ripples of their breath intertwined with the ripples of the rain, making the entire water surface chaotic. .

"Second uncle, I have finally reached this point."

Zhang Ronling turned around and glanced at Chen Luo behind him. Chen Luo was now sixty-five years old. There are more white hairs on his head. Unlike ordinary old people, Chen Luo has more profound health-preserving skills. He is wearing a gray coarse cloth robe and standing in the rain curtain behind him. He is like a ghost, not deliberately going. You can't even feel his presence.

Zhang Ronling had already known about his second uncle's abilities and knew that he was practicing health-preserving skills. Judging from the current situation, his second uncle's health-preserving skills should be successful.

Do you want me to practice too?

This thought flashed through Zhang Ronling's mind. He also wanted to be like his second uncle, who still had such energy when he was over sixty years old.

"Congratulations."

Chen Luo's gaze penetrated Zhang Mansion, and in the sky in the distance, the calamity energy began to surge again. How could the natural disaster allow Zhang Ronngling to go smoothly? It would definitely give him a new disaster and make him sink in choices again and again.

As if to confirm Chen Luo's guess, a loud noise suddenly came from outside, followed by the sound of armors clashing, as if a large number of people broke into the house.

The peaceful rainy night was suddenly disrupted.

"Who! Do you know where this place is!!"

"Ouch."

Zhang Ronling's face turned cold, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

Bang!

The wooden door to the backyard opened in response, and two rows of soldiers filed in. A general stepped in with a sword in one hand. He looked around and finally landed on Zhang Ronling.

"Master Zhang, I'm offended."

The general smiled proudly, with the joy of revenge flashing in his eyes. Zhang Ronling had offended many people in the past few years when he became powerful, and this general was one of them. Zhang Ronling might not even remember when he offended this person, but the other party did.

"Do you know what the crime is when you lead troops to break into the house of a court official late at night?" Zhang Ronling also noticed the problem.

But his expression remained unchanged, he was waiting.

Wait for his men to send him news.

"Haha, I don't know whether I am guilty or not. I am just following orders." After speaking, the general pressed the sword in his hand and said to the soldiers behind him.

"Seal Zhang's Mansion, no one is allowed in or out before dawn."

"yes!"

A group of soldiers quickly dispersed, sealing off the inside and outside of Zhang's residence.

Zhang Ronling and Chen Luo were also sealed in the backyard, isolated from the world, and had no idea what was going on outside.

The torch in the soldier's hand illuminated the courtyard brightly. Compared with the light of the fire, the light rain in the sky was ignored.

Soon, there was another burst of rapid footsteps.

A little Huangmen wearing palace clothes ran out quickly, lowered his head and said something in the general's ear, and then stuffed something into his hand. This person didn't even look at Zhang Ronling from beginning to end. After finishing his things, he left in a hurry.

Zhang Ronling's heart sank. He recognized the eunuch just now. This person had interacted with him before and was someone close to the emperor.

"Master Zhang, please accept the order."

The general looked at the imperial edict stamped in his hand with a smile on his face. He knew that the things behind it had been settled, and all that was left was the carnival. Zhang Ronling, a late upstart, is destined to lose power in this great change and be knocked into the dust once again.

Those who have been offended by him will definitely find opportunities to take revenge.

Power is like this. When you stand at a specific position, all you can do is keep climbing up. Once you stop, those people around you will immediately turn against you and work together to push you down the abyss.

"When will it be the general's turn to read the edict? This is the law of this dynasty."

"Lord Zhang, please stop saying a few words. Today is different from the past. The late Emperor Long Yu passed away last night. The imperial edict in my hand was issued by the new emperor."

As he spoke, the general showed the imperial edict in his hand and began to read out the contents.

"The southwestern Japanese pirates invaded and violated the power of the Holy Dynasty. I ordered Zhang Shangshu to go immediately to quell the rebellion."

This is to transfer him out of Beijing!

Otherwise, how could such a military task as countering a rebellion fall on him, a civil servant with the title of Shangshu? This group of people had planned everything long ago. If you think about it deeply, the death of the late emperor might have been the work of these people. Zhang Ronling stood in the courtyard and felt a little cold for a moment.

For the first time, he felt the energy of the ‘old party’.

After eradicating him as the banner of the new party, the remaining Mr. Zhou Ge will definitely not have an easy time. The best outcome is to end his career and return home. In serious cases, he may even be imprisoned with no guarantee of death.

It's getting light.

When everything settled, Zhang Ronling was expelled from Beijing for the second time.

The imperial edict did not reserve any time for him, and ordered him to go to the southwest immediately on the grounds of military emergency.

On the carriage.

This time there were only three people in Lijing, and the woman who once sat next to Chen Luo was no longer there.

"Second uncle, I understand some truths again."

Zhang Ronling's eyes flashed. This devolution was different from the last time. He was a Beijing official to suppress the rebellion, and he could return as long as he completed the task. Of course, those people in the capital have a thousand ways to prevent him from ever going back. As long as he misses the opportunity, he will never be able to become the prime minister.

"It turns out that the game can still be played like this. I used to be too disciplined."

Zhang Ronling's mentality has changed again. Black fire is all over his body in the outside world. His aura has dropped to the early stage of foundation construction, and the collapse of the foundation has further accelerated.

This calamity is almost over.

With Zhang Ronling's last change of mentality, his inner demon tribulation completely failed, and all that was left was to burn everything with ashes and wait for death. The power Chen Luo absorbed was getting stronger and stronger. He didn't even need to activate the Heart Demon Art. He absorbed the calamity energy at an unimaginable speed. The spiritual power in his body began to condense rapidly. This speed It’s faster than taking pills and supplementing with spiritual veins.

When he arrived at the place, Zhang Ronling changed his behavior from seven years ago.

This time he left the suppression of Japanese pirates to his subordinates and began to make money by any means necessary. Relying on his experience in governing the local states, he quickly colluded with local powerful people and plundered the people's wealth. In just half a year, he gained a huge amount of wealth.

With money to clear the way, he quickly contacted a group of people in the capital who had not yet been cleared out, and hooked up with a eunuch. Not only that, he also hooked up with the Japanese pirates, making these wandering bandits a knife in his hand. Whenever he was too greedy to settle the accounts, the Japanese pirates would come out to wreak havoc, burning, killing, looting, and all the accounts were settled.

Collude with eunuchs and indulge in bandits privately.

Under his rule, countless people could not survive and rebelled. Rebellion is not a rare thing in the Holy Dynasty, and it is not as serious as imagined. In the three hundred years since the Holy Dynasty was established, there have been more than 200 peasant rebellions, of which there were ten large-scale rebellions. Nine times, the government can easily suppress small local rebels like this.

It is nothing more than adding another account to the expenditure on public security.

After "enlightenment", Zhang Ronling abandoned the last "original heart" in his heart, was driven away by desire, and slid into the abyss.
