Five Seven Six, who are you loyal to?
The imperial study room was the emperor's private domain, and most of the courtiers who could be received here were the emperor's confidants.
At this time, the emperor, who had lost Cao Zhengchun as his trump card and was ignored by Zhu as a threat to his dynasty, had no choice but to summon this man who was highly regarded by Cao Zhengchun with a trying mentality.
Li Jin had already made preparations. To be precise, it was all in his plan.
It was he who controlled Fei Ying in advance. Under the mental imprint, Fei Ying was unable to resist at all.
He successfully angered Zhu Wuwu and made him confront the court. It was impossible for Cao Zhengchun to beat Zhu Wuwu. Zhu Wuwu was afraid to use the power-absorbing method, but if someone touched his bottom line, he would completely
crazy.
Zhu Wuli was already rebellious, but Li Jin only pushed the process a little further.
The emperor looked at Li Jin from head to toe. He saw light in this man's eyes, but he was not humble at all. He did not have the kind of awe that the emperor should have.
This made the emperor frown with great dissatisfaction. But that was all. At this time of employment, as long as Li Jin could restrain Zhu Wuwu, no matter how unruly he was, the emperor would have to endure it.
"Commander Li, do you know why I came to you this time?"
Li Jin looked at the smiling emperor and said simply: "Your Majesty, the situation is serious, we just need to speak frankly."
He said directly: "Eunuch Cao and Wei Chen said that if he dies, I must come
Find Your Majesty and assist Your Majesty on his behalf to support the court."
"Okay, what a great supporter!" The emperor clapped his hands, but Li Jin expressed his position very quickly. He was also afraid that the other party would not dare to stand in line because he was afraid of Zhu Yi's power and martial arts.
Li Jin showed his identity as soon as he came. He wanted to stand on the same boat as him. This was something the emperor wished for.
Although the emperor has the most power in name, at this moment, most of the ministers in the court have turned to Zhu Wuwu. The reason is because Zhu Wuwu has too much bargaining chip, especially the files of the ten generals. Although it has not been stated explicitly,
But which official in the court is not a veteran? They all know very well that if a big event like Yongle really happened, these courtiers would be quick to fall in line.
In fact, it doesn't matter how civil servants are. What the emperor needs most is warriors. Especially warriors with high martial arts skills.
The emperor knew that Li Jin's martial arts skills were by no means ordinary. Cao Zhengchun once said that Li Jin's martial arts skills were not even inferior to his.
Cao Zhengchun is the leader of the hidden guards passed down from generation to generation. His master is also the great eunuch of the previous dynasty, and he also possesses peerless martial arts. Cao Zhengchun grew up with the emperor and started practicing martial arts after being castrated. He has been practicing martial arts for decades.
, it’s not something to take lightly.
Putting him in the Jianghu, he is the founder of the sect and can be praised by him. There is no doubt that Li Jin can do so.
After a secret conversation, the two basically reached a consensus. The emperor would promote Li Jin to become the real commander-in-chief of the Royal Guards. Later, Li Jin would secretly cooperate with the city guards and the commanders of the Imperial Guard to protect the safety of the imperial capital.
Zhu Wuli may rebel at any time, and the emperor must be prepared in advance.
On the other side, after the emperor summoned Li Jin, he sent an order to summon Tianya.
"Meet the Emperor!"
"No gift!"
Tianya's willingness to come proves that he is not loyal to Zhu Wuwu, but to Ming Dynasty.
The purpose of Hulong Villa is to protect the emperor and the Ming Dynasty.
Tianya also knew part of the situation, Zhu Wuwu became more and more strange, and Tianya also fell into a dilemma.
Today, the emperor suddenly summoned him, and he came directly to Ouchi without Zhu Wuwu on his back.
"Tianya, you are a first-class sword-wielding guard in front of the Imperial Palace. Let me ask you a question. When you entered Hulong Villa, you swore to protect the Ming Dynasty. Have you ever forgotten your oath?"
Tianya nodded and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I dare not forget."
"Okay!" the emperor clapped his hands, "Then if someone does something that harms the Ming Dynasty, what will you do?"
"Swear to the death to defend the Ming Dynasty and eradicate the evil."
"Okay!" The emperor clapped his hands again, "Then let me tell you, what will you do if the brave god Hou Zhu ignores the rebellion?"
Tianya was stunned. He stayed there for a long time.
Although he knew that the emperor summoned him for this matter, he did not expect that the emperor would be so straightforward. From this point of view, the situation was indeed very urgent.
"Tianya, if you are interested in the imperial court and loyal to me, take this." As he said, the emperor took out a gold medal with the words "Imperial Envoy" engraved on it.
When Tianya came out of the imperial study, he seemed to have come to an end. On one side was his foster father who was so kind to him, and on the other was the imperial court who swore allegiance to him.
In such a dilemma, he came to Hulong Villa.
At this time, Hulong Villa was very busy, with all kinds of people coming and going, everyone seemed to be performing their duties and preparing something.
When they arrived at the main hall, Tianya saw that the person sitting above him was none other than Zhu Wuwu.
"You went to see the emperor?" Zhu Wulan asked with a cold face.
Tianya nodded.
"What did he tell you?"
Tianya shook his head and asked: "Father, do you really want to rebel?"
Zhu Wuwu frowned and said angrily: "Rebellion? My surname is Zhu too. Are blood relatives more noble than that boy? He can be the emperor, why can't I?"
He stood up with some excitement and said condescendingly: "Tianya! I didn't want to do so much, but he bullied me too much! As long as you continue to follow me, after I ascend the throne, I will give you a title of Prince Dangdang, so that you can enjoy it for generations to come.
Glory."
Zhu Wuwu waited for Tianya's answer, although he had already guessed the answer.
Tianya smiled miserably and said: "It was you who taught us to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but now, you are the first one to rise up in rebellion!"
"Father, you are my foster father. I shouldn't have drawn a knife on you, but when it involves big rights and wrongs, I cannot be confused in the world, otherwise I will be infamy for all eternity."
Tianya said firmly: "Father, from today on, you are no longer my foster father. Just like what you taught me at the beginning, our four secret agents are not loyal to one person, but to the entire imperial court."
"The imperial court?" Zhu Wulan said excitedly, "If I ascend the throne and become the emperor, I will only do better than this kid! My martial arts and strategic skills are inferior to him? After I ascend the throne and become the emperor, you will do things for me.
, isn’t it for the imperial court?”
If he knew that Tianya was so stubborn, Zhu Wuli wouldn't have told them like this in the first place. He thought it was just a casual mention, but he didn't expect these guys to take it seriously.
Tianya shook his head: "Father, I call you for the last time, thank you for your life-saving grace."
As he spoke, he knelt down and kowtowed.
"Thank you for your teaching."
The second head.
"Thank you for your upbringing."
The third one knocked his head hard.
Tianya stood up and took out the Tianzi Token.
"From now on, I am no longer the top secret agent of Hulong Villa."
"Huh?" Zhu Wuwu put his hands behind his back and said coldly, "Tianya, Hao Tianya! You remember everything I taught you clearly. I'm very happy."
"But, you are too ignorant. If you want to sever ties with me, you can, but it is not as simple as kowtowing three times. You come and receive my three palms, and then we will sever ties with each other."
Tianya gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"
After saying that, he rushed forward.
Zhu Wuwu directly used his three-point skill to strike a palm.
Tianya resisted hard, but didn't dodge at all.
With a "snap", Tianya was knocked to the ground, spitting out a large mouthful of blood, and felt as if all the bones in his body were falling apart.
Zhu Wuwu had absorbed the internal energy of so many masters, so this palm was not something that ordinary people could withstand.
"Second palm!"
Tianya fell to the ground again, his whole body seemed to be broken into pieces. If he received another palm, his internal organs would rupture and he would die.
"Tianya, I will give you one last chance. If you are still stubborn, don't blame me for being ruthless." Zhu Wu said.
"Please give me some advice from the Lord God!" Tianya reluctantly raised his head and said with blood in his mouth.
"Alas!" Zhu Wulan sighed, and lightly flew out a palm of his true energy.
He closed his eyes, and Duan Tianya also closed his eyes.
But when I heard a snap, this palm energy was blocked by someone.
Zhu Wuli opened his eyes and saw a figure standing in the main hall.
He held a gold medal with the words "Imperial Envoy" engraved on it. He looked at Zhu Wuwu and said with a smile:
Chapter completed!
