Nine Turns of Nirvana

"Nian Gong, if you think about it carefully, it wouldn't be a bad thing if I didn't become Princess Gaoyang's consort..."

"First of all, for you, you directly save a gift of 80,000 taels of gold. For me, there is no need to give up the entire forest for a small sapling; for Princess Gaoyang, she does not need to fall into my trap. In the hands of this devil, the entrustment is inhumane; as far as the officials are concerned, they are not allowed to tolerate me, a deviant and evil thief; as far as the people of the Dawu Dynasty are concerned, they do not need to see their respected Princess Gaoyang’s pearl covered in dust..."

"After all, this matter has become a happy situation for everyone. I am afraid that even Miss Ling Ai Ling'er will definitely support my idea. What do you think, Nian Gong?"

Sitting on the carriage heading to the palace city, Lu Yu chattered to Zhou Zunian.

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Zhou Zunian almost lost his breath. He snorted heavily and said, "I heard that after the banquet at Cining Palace the night before last, Prince Wang was summoned to Shuhua Palace by Concubine Hua. Could it be that What benefits did Concubine Hua promise to you that made you change your stance in the blink of an eye?"

Lu Yu asked curiously: "If I say yes, will Nian Guild increase the leverage to convince me?"

Zhou Zunian snorted coldly: "Now that you have brought things into such a situation, what qualifications do you have to raise chips? You'd better pass today's level first! If you can't pass today's level, I'm afraid you will I don’t even know how I died, so what else can I do to gain leverage?”

"Nian Gong said something angry again..."

Lu Yu responded as if a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.

As the saying goes, business cannot be done without righteousness. Mr. Nian, you can't kill me just because our cooperation didn't succeed, right? "

Zhou Zunian couldn't help but sneered: "Do you think I want to kill you? In fact, if I hadn't been protecting you, you would have died ten thousand times! If you don't believe it, you can experience it for yourself at the court meeting!"

Lu Yu said with a smile: "After Nian Gong said this, I am looking forward to the meeting!"

The carriage came to a stop in front of the palace gate. Because the imperial palace was such an important place, civil and military officials did not have the right to ride on horses, cars, or sedan chairs. Otherwise, it would be overstepping the bounds, and an offense and disrespect to the imperial power.

However, there are exceptions to everything. For example, Princess Gaoyang was granted the privilege of riding horses in the palace by Emperor Jialing, which shows His Majesty's favor towards her.

Unfortunately, these are things in the past, and now the situation has undergone a fundamental reversal. Princess Gaoyang's rapidly growing reputation has reached the point of threatening the imperial power, and Emperor Jia Ling can no longer tolerate her existence.

Lu Yu followed Zhou Zunian, walked all the way, passed through three palace gates, and finally arrived at the Zhengde Palace where the great court meeting was held.

As the most majestic and grand palace in the entire imperial city, it goes without saying that the Zhengde Palace is magnificent. At this time, the grand meeting has not officially begun, but the officials have already arrived. They are gathering in twos and threes and chatting. The topics discussed are naturally the turmoil of the release of animals in Shili Huafang last night, and the princess of Gaoyang who has just entered the city. .

"Nian Gong."

"Nian Gong."

"Nian Gong."

…

When the ministers saw Zhou Zunian coming in, they all bowed to him and greeted him. Zhou Zunian also greeted everyone as he walked, showing his high popularity in the court.

But no one paid attention to Lu Yu who was following behind. Some ministers even deliberately backed away after seeing Lu Yu following behind, as if they had encountered a fierce beast and were afraid to avoid it.

Lu Yuhun didn't care about this. Anyway, he was just here to go through the motions today. He didn't care at all about the attitude of the officials towards him.

"Why did this person come to the temple?"

Suddenly a stern question came, breaking the superficial peace.

Lu Yu followed the sound and saw an old man with white beard and hair, wearing a python dragon robe, walking towards him angrily.

The python dragon robe cannot be worn casually. The old man can wear the python dragon robe on such an occasion. It is obviously a gift from the emperor, which shows his extraordinary status.

Even with his status as Zhou Zunian, he did not dare to show off in front of the old man. He cupped his hands in front of the old man and explained: "Master Yan, it is His Majesty's will to allow this person to attend the imperial meeting... "

Hearing Zhou Zunian's title, Lu Yu couldn't help but feel something in his heart. It turned out that he was also a Grand Master who was ranked among the Three Lords. No wonder he spoke so harshly... I heard that this Grand Master Yan no longer interfered with specific government affairs due to his old age, and only reserved He holds the false title of Grand Master, but this does not prevent him from speaking forcefully in court.

Grand Master Yan did not buy Zhou Zunian's blame at all, and said resolutely: "Your Majesty was confused for a moment. Could it be that you are all confused too? Such a treacherous and shameless person actually allowed him to enter the palace and come to the great court meeting to insult the saint." Virtue, is this the way to be a minister? If someone comes, capture this person immediately and drive him out of the palace!"

Zhou Zunian said: "Teacher Yan, please be careful. Whether your Majesty is confused or not, it's not up to you or me to tell you!"

Taishi Yan said: "You don't understand people well and use treacherous tactics. What else is this than confusion? Taifu Zhou, you are the emperor's master. If you can't even give direct advice, you might as well resign and return to your hometown as soon as possible and abdicate in favor of someone more worthy!" "

Zhou Zunian was furious: "Master Yan, don't think that because the late emperor gave you the python dragon robe, you can rely on your old age here! I'm afraid you don't just want me, Zhou, to abdicate in favor of someone more worthy, but you also want your majesty to abdicate too. Please give in?"

Master Yan said: "Master Zhou's words are too heartbreaking! I think you have ulterior motives!"

…

The surrounding ministers couldn't help but tremble. The two big men carried them up, but others did not dare to easily dissuade them. If they were careful, the anger of the two big men would engulf them at any time.

Unexpectedly, before the official start of the court meeting, the Grand Master and the Grand Tutor were already quarreling fiercely. All this indicated that today's court meeting would be extraordinary.

Even Lu Yu couldn't help but cheer up, thinking that at least this court meeting would not be boring.

"You two, stay here! Why speak so quickly at this moment? It's better to wait until the court meeting begins, before your Majesty

Seeing that the argument between the two was getting more and more intense, someone finally stood up and stopped the two from continuing to argue.

Lu Yu followed the sound and saw that the man was wearing a black robe, but he was of no rank, but the aura of that man was extremely powerful. It could be said that he was the most advanced person Lu Yu had ever seen since he came down from the mountain. The only one who was defeated by him was the Martial Saint Grandmaster Gao Zhengbang, who was far inferior to him.

Lu Yu couldn't help being slightly startled. He didn't expect to see such a powerful person with such a high level of cultivation in this court meeting.

Grand Master Yan also looked at the man and said coldly: "I thought the Imperial Master was detached from things. Could it be that you also support letting this shameless person enter the house?"

Lu Yu's heart moved. It turned out that this person was Master Qi Yang, the national master mentioned by Zhou Peiling. He was also the teacher of Prince Lu. No wonder he had such good cultivation.

The Imperial Master, Master Qi Yang, smiled and said: "I do not support either of you, but to be honest, it is a bit difficult for Grand Master Yan to want the palace guards to capture this person. After all, even the Grand Master Gao Zhengbang died in his hands."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly changed. Lu Yu immediately felt several cold murderous intentions targeting him. It was obvious that there were many old friends of Gao Zhengbang in this hall.

Lu Yu couldn't help but frown.

Although Master Qi Yang said on the surface that he did not support any party, he deliberately provoked hatred between himself and Gao Zhengbang at this time. This shows that he is obviously biased... Could it be because he interrupted Did Prince Lu's legs cause him dissatisfaction?

Master Qi Yang looked straight at Lu Yu and continued: "I have long heard that your Excellency's extraordinary skills make me very jealous. After this court meeting, how about you two having a fight?"

As soon as this statement came out, all the officials were stunned.

It is not easy to know the identity of Master Qi Yang. He was the protector of the country in the Great Wu Dynasty. Every time he attacked, he only conquered the enemy's peerless masters, and every attack ended in the death of his opponent. But However, he took the initiative to challenge Lu Yu at this moment, which showed an unusual meaning.

To put it mildly, he was not optimistic that Lu Yu would have a good outcome at this court meeting. To put it more seriously, he wanted to kill this evil leader with his own hands.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes were focused on the two of them.

Even Zhou Zunian was caught off guard by Master Qi Yang's sudden change.

Lu Yu laughed at this moment: "Since the Imperial Master is so interested, why wait until the end of the court meeting? How about we fight now?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand, and a long bloody knife suddenly appeared in his hand. The scarlet light of the knife was hesitant.

Everyone was shocked.

The National Preceptor's proposal was unexpected enough, but I didn't expect the devil's reaction to be even more arrogant. Not only did he directly respond to the Imperial Preceptor's invitation, he also openly displayed his fierce and gleaming weapons in the Zhengde Palace.

This is a very arrogant behavior, but at this moment no one stands up to correct it.

On one side was the sharp-edged Blood Demon of Hatred, and on the other was the furious Master Qi Yang. The two sides were in a stalemate.

After several breaths, Master Qi Yang suddenly smiled: "Let's leave the battle between you and me for later. Your opponent today is someone else, and she is already here!"

As soon as I finished speaking, I saw a horse galloping outside the palace gate. It was the absolute protagonist of today - Qin Yanzhen, Princess of Gaoyang, who had arrived!
