The Sword Master God's Journey to Face Slapping

It was already the hour of Hai, the moon was at its zenith, the night was hazy, in the darkness and silence, only the lights in the imperial study of Daming Palace were still bright, swaying a ray of light in the night.

Shen Tiange was wearing silver armor, his right hand resting on the long sword hanging at his waist, standing silently and vigilantly at the door of the imperial study. Since he was taken to the imperial study and received by the emperor that day, he was kept in the palace as a guard.

Because of his status, Shen Tiange was promoted to a personal guard, so he could be said to be very close to the emperor every day, and knew his daily arrangements and whereabouts very well.

Except for the daily morning court and normal daily life, the emperor was very diligent in reviewing memorials in the imperial study, and his efforts to govern the country far exceeded those of the previous emperors.

Shen Tiange has been a guard in the palace for more than five days, and in these five days he has not seen the emperor strolling in the back garden or going to the harem to summon concubines. Apart from normal daily life and hard work, he has never been distracted, let alone enjoyed anything.

This is too rare for the emperor. After all, he is in the palace, with so many palace servants serving him and endless wealth and glory, but he is not addicted, but more diligent in his work. Such self-discipline is rare for ordinary people.

As an emperor, he can obviously enjoy endless wealth and glory, but the emperor lives much harder than ordinary wealthy people. His daily life can be described as boring, either government affairs or government affairs.

The longer Shen Tiange stays with the emperor, the more he admires him. His Majesty is not only diligent in his work, but also very familiar with government affairs, and his handling methods are also very superb and skillful. The huge and complex court is like a chess game overlooked by him, allowing him to deploy troops and arrange at will.

The position of all the ministers on the chessboard was seen and understood by His Majesty, who was high above. He could rearrange the chess pieces on the chessboard at will according to his own ideas. It only took a few moves to mess up the situation and start anew.

Since the Shen family sent His Majesty to sit on the dragon throne and Shen Xiaoyue entered the palace to become Concubine Yuan, many officials have attached themselves to him. Shen Tiange was not unaware of this matter in the past, and he also knew how many people were clinging to the big tree of the Shen family.

But during the days he stayed in the imperial capital, he saw with his own eyes how His Majesty cut off these party members in a straightforward manner. His methods were very superb, his determination was very firm, and his actions were extremely straightforward, decisive and ruthless.

But even though officials' heads fell to the ground every day in the square of the imperial market, and even though most of these dead officials were the backbone of the court, it was commendable that he cut off the heads of so many officials, but the court was not in chaos because of this.

It was as if the officials killed by His Majesty were all good-for-nothings who only knew how to enrich themselves. Eliminating them not only did not cause the court of Daqing Dynasty to collapse in chaos, but also made it more orderly.

The disappearance of these termites made the Daqing Dynasty, a big tree with dense branches, rejuvenate.

The emperor's methods completely shocked those who had small thoughts inside and outside the court. They realized that the emperor sitting high on the top was no longer the young emperor who was lifted to the throne by the Shen family and had no one to rely on.

He has grown into an emperor with real means, heart, ability, and great majesty. Facing such an emperor, if they are still unwilling to restrain themselves, they will probably become the chickens killed by the emperor to scare the monkeys.

In the cold and quiet night, Shen Tiange put his right hand on the sword, and he couldn't help feeling a little fortunate in his heart. Fortunately, His Majesty still remembered some friendship with the Shen family, otherwise, with His Majesty's methods, I'm afraid that the Shen family would be destroyed in a matter of days.

The fate of the Shen family at that time will not be as good as giving up the power in their hands automatically like now. At least His Majesty has promised to leave some dignity to the Shen family. Maybe it will not be as glorious as before, but at least the words have been spoken, and the Shen family does not have to worry about being too powerful to be terrified.

"Mr. Shen, His Majesty invites you to come in." Just as Shen Tiange was guarding the door of the imperial study seriously and vigilantly, the door of the imperial study was gently pushed open, and the eunuch beside the emperor walked out quietly and whispered.

Shen Tiange was stunned for a moment, and then his face suddenly became solemn and serious. He raised his hand to adjust the silver armor on his body, and then waved the long sword at his waist, and then followed the eunuch into the imperial study quietly.

Although it was late at night, the imperial study was brightly lit, and several candles as thick as wrists were lit, illuminating the room as if it were daytime. The candlelight was bright and soft, and the shadows in the study must be visible.

Shen Tiange quietly looked up at the emperor who was sitting behind the desk in a black wide-sleeved casual dress. Seeing a slight tiredness between his eyebrows, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

After the court session today, the emperor has been reviewing memorials and handling government affairs in the imperial study. He has not rested all the time. It is normal to be tired. After all, people are not made of iron. The emperor is so diligent, but his body may not be able to bear it!

"Shen Qingjia, take a look at this." Xuanyuan raised his hand and gently pinched his eyebrows. He felt that the original owner's body was quite weak. It was probably because he had been locked up in the palace for a long time. His spirit was very energetic, but his body could not bear it.

After Shen Tiange saluted, he walked forward respectfully and took the things that the emperor handed to him and gestured to him from the eunuch standing beside him. Shen Tiange, with his back straight and standing upright, stood in front of the desk and opened the letter in his hand and began to read it carefully.

The more he looked at Shen Tiange, the uglier his face became. Cold sweat gradually seeped out of his forehead. Xuan Yuan took a cup of calming tea and sipped it gently, looking at Shen Tiange's ugly expression leisurely.

"Huh..." Finally, Shen Tiange finished reading the letter with a solemn expression. His face was ashen, and he was afraid. His back was already soaked with sweat. "Your Majesty, this is..."

Shen Tiange held the letter in his hand, licked his dry lips, and asked tentatively with great difficulty. He looked at Xuanyuan, wanting to ask but not daring to.

Xuanyuan was very calm and frank about Shen Tiange's hesitation and entanglement. He put down the celadon teacup in his hand, curled his thin lips slightly, and smiled in a magnetic and mellow voice: "This is the correspondence between me and the prince of Daqin."

Shen Tiange's face became even uglier at first, but he quickly realized that if His Majesty really wanted to take action against the Shen family and the 800,000 Shen family troops as written in the letter, why would he show him the letter at this time?

After thinking this through, Shen Tiange calmed down, but still asked in a slightly difficult tone: "What does your majesty plan to do?"

Looking at Shen Tiange calmly and indifferently, Xuanyuan leaned back on the wide dragon chair, his thin lips slightly curled up to reveal a smile that seemed to be a smile: "Send him the real battle formation map of the first two border battles."

Shen Tiange seemed to think of something, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Give them the wrong battle formation map for the third time and pursue the victory?" His eyes quickly dimmed again, and there was a little bit of reluctance in his eyes, "But if so, I'm afraid that many soldiers on the border will die."

Xuanyuan nodded slightly, his handsome face was cold and indifferent at this time, and he looked extremely cold with an expressionless face, like snow on a mountain: "If we can't accomplish our goal in one battle, the casualties of the Shen family army will only be heavier."

Although the strength of the Shen family army is better than the army stationed on the border of Daqin, the Daqing Dynasty has just survived the natural disaster of the Yellow River flood, and there is really not much food to support the border war.

The war must be ended as soon as possible, so as not to drag the Daqing Dynasty into the quagmire of war.

Xuanyuan planned to win quickly at the beginning, but unfortunately, the situation on the battlefield changed rapidly. He was in the imperial capital, thousands of miles away from the battlefield, and he could not control the changes in the war.

Xuanyuan wanted to end it as soon as possible, but he did not expect Shen Yu to fight with Daqin for so long and still failed to end the war, so he finally decided to use this method to pit Daqin and end the war as soon as possible.

Shen Tiange also knew that what Xuanyuan said was very correct, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your Majesty is right." He took a deep breath and asked tentatively, "Does Your Majesty want to inform your father about this in advance?"

Shen Yu is the commander of the border army. If Your Majesty does not intend to deceive him, it means that Your Majesty has no intention of weakening the Shen family army. In this way, the Shen family will not be oppressed too much, which is also a rare good news.

Xuan Yuan raised his eyes and glanced at Shen Tiange lightly, and hummed softly: "Of course, I still need Shen Aiqing to cooperate with this plan." He lowered his eyelids slightly, and Xuan Yuan frowned slightly, feeling a little pain in his eyebrows.

0617 sighed: "Host, I have scanned this body. It looks strong on the outside, but it is actually very weak inside. Don't force yourself. Take a good rest when you need to."

After a pause, seeing that Xuan Yuan had no reaction, 0617 persuaded again: "After all, this is the body of the original owner. You can't just toss someone's body and then give it back to them."

According to the host's nature, it is estimated that he will not occupy the original owner's body for a lifetime, and will eventually return it to the original owner. In this way, he can't toss someone's body and leave a mess for the original owner.

Xuan Yuan rubbed his eyebrows and sighed softly: "You are right." If Xuan Yuan was not so good at refining pills, he really wanted to refine a furnace of pills to regulate this body. Unfortunately, Xuan Yuan was only good at sword practice, not refining pills.

If he forced to make the elixir, the furnace would probably explode... emmmmmm

Looking up at Shen Tiange, Xuanyuan said in a light tone: "It's getting late, Shen Aiqing, go back and rest."

Shen Tiange looked solemn, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty is so diligent, and he hasn't rested yet, how can I go to rest first?" Now Shen Tiange admires Xuanyuan from the bottom of his heart and cares about His Majesty very much.

With a slight curl of his thin lips, Xuanyuan raised his eyes and glanced at Shen Tiange, who was full of seriousness and sincerity, and said in a slightly strange tone: "I am planning to go back to the palace to sleep." Did he think he would continue to work hard in the imperial study?

Shen Tiange quickly reacted, nodded heavily, and then said solemnly: "In this case, I will send Your Majesty back to the palace first and then take a turn to rest."

Xuanyuan didn't have much idea about this, just nodded slightly and got up from the desk and prepared to leave. Shen Tiange quickly handed the letter in his hand to the palace servant who was tidying up the desk, and hurriedly followed Xuan Yuan out of the study, fulfilling his duty as a guard and sending him back to the palace.
