Listening to the two of them praising Lang Fei, he gave a helpless smile and chatted with the two for a while about the time on the mountain. After drinking tea, the little Bai'er, who had a round belly and burped, walked back, swaying step by step.
It was followed by a few servants who had left earlier, each of them winking and laughing, you touched the little white child's back, and sometimes I accidentally touched the tiger's butt.
Lang Fei laughed bitterly at Ren Yihu's wretchedness, but Xiao Bai'er seemed to be unaware and allowed them to rub him everywhere out of curiosity.
"You silly cat, now that you've eaten enough, come and go to bed with me." Seeing that it was almost time, Lang Fei felt a little dizzy due to the smell of alcohol, so he stood up and left with Mo Tie. "Father, foster father,
It's getting late, so we should rest early and talk again tomorrow morning."
Mo Tie nodded, stood up as well, turned to several servants and said, "Take Fei'er to the dormitory to rest."
Several servants were about to accept the order, but at this time Mr. Xu said: "I'd better take the young master."
Mo Tie was stunned when he heard this, and said after a while: "That's fine, I'll be working hard now."
Mr. Xu replied "I dare not", turned around and said to Lang Fei: "Master, please come with me." After that, he left first.
Lang Fei nodded to Mo Tie again, bowed and retreated, turned around, and followed Mr. Xu away.
After turning around a few times and entering the hall, the two came to a main room near the flower garden. Mr. Xu entered first, and Lang Fei followed. He held the lamp and was about to say thank you, but Mr. Xu suddenly knelt down on his knees.
In front of Lang Fei, he said: "Master Lang, please save the prince."
Lang Fei was stunned and said: "Where do you start talking about this? Mr. Xu, please get up quickly. When you get up, you will talk in detail."
Hearing this, Mr. Xu stood up tremblingly and said: "Originally, the little old man was not sure whether to ask the young master for help, but when he saw the white tiger just now, he knew that Mr. Lang, you now have the means to rescue the prince.
ability, I couldn't help but beg the Prime Minister, hoping that the young master can save the prince and help the Han Dynasty."
Lang Fei pondered for a moment, frowned and said: "What happened to the prince? How does it affect the safety of the Han Dynasty? Please tell me in detail."
Mr. Xu nodded when he heard this and said: "Young master, I didn't know after seven years of separation. After the Mid-Autumn Festival three years ago, the pilgrimage became strange for some reason. In the early morning, no government affairs were allowed, and we always waited until
Only in the afternoon will the edicts and approved memorials be delivered to the minister's cabinet. At first, these strange things did not attract any attention. I just thought it was because His Majesty was in poor health. However, as time went by, His Majesty's ability to handle government affairs also improved.
As he became more and more humble, he often made perfunctory presentations and gave incorrect orders on political matters. As a result, the ministers gradually became worried, fearing that the Holy Emperor might suffer from some serious illness. In fact, it was not just them, but also the empresses and concubines in the harem.
Everyone noticed something was wrong with His Majesty. His Majesty was in good health and would be lucky to see someone every night. However, since the Mid-Autumn Festival, he has not returned to the harem once for three months in a row. He is always alone in the imperial palace, without even moving his food and accommodation.
Such an abnormal situation naturally attracted the attention of the Queen, the princes, and the ministers. They took great pains to send an imperial physician into the royal room to visit His Majesty's dragon body. How could they have imagined that when the imperial physician came out, he informed everyone of the Holy Dragon Body?
He was fine, able to eat and sleep, and his body and bones were strong. He was in good condition. Such a conclusion naturally surprised everyone. Just when the ministers were worried about the court, the prince was worried about the country and broke into the imperial palace in anger.
"Zhijian, how could I know that this behavior immediately angered His Majesty, and at that time he ordered the imperial guards to surround the East Palace, ground the prince, and put him under house arrest in the prince's palace."
After An Xin listened to what Mr. Xu said, Lang Fei gently placed his fingers on the table of the Eight Immortals, pondered for a moment and said: "Mr. Xu, it's not that I have any excuse to refuse. It's just that this is a family matter of the royal family. It's not convenient for me as an outsider to interfere."
Mr. Xu sighed and said, "Don't worry, young master, I haven't finished speaking yet. It's not too late to make plans after listening."
Lang Fei nodded helplessly and could only continue to listen attentively. Seeing this, Mr. Xu coughed slightly and continued: "I am a big man with a strong foundation and a solid foundation. Originally, Your Majesty was like this and nothing happened. It was just that the disaster suddenly happened a year ago.
, but I don’t know how His Majesty came up with it. One morning, the emperor actually issued a death order, betraying the blood oath of the ancestors and launching an army to attack the neighboring country in the east that had been friends for generations. The border between the two countries has been peaceful for hundreds of years.
The Liang Kingdom was in a hurry and failed to organize an effective resistance, and lost 800 miles of territory in just one night. The victory in the first battle was not satisfied, but His Majesty was still not satisfied and ordered the generals of the Eastern Expedition to massacre the soldiers and civilians, women and children in several cities.
It was so tragic that Daliang and I were not friends, but enemies of the times. After a series of defeats, Daliang also recovered. Later, it mobilized heavy troops and was able to defend the western defense line.
We started a tug-of-war with the army of the Han Dynasty. It is said that the most fearful thing is to fight for a long time. With such a year of back-and-forth wars, no matter how rich the Han Dynasty was, it was gradually emptied of its foundation. Now it is on the border with the Liang Kingdom.
In this place, the once prosperous villages and towns are already empty, and there are scenes of starvation and death everywhere. Such an unknown and long-lasting war has dragged two originally wealthy countries into the quagmire of tyranny, and our great Han Sage
But he seemed unaware. No matter how many peace envoys were sent to the Daliang Kingdom, they were all determined to destroy the Daliang people and the country. His Majesty acted like this, not only the Daliang Kingdom, but also some loyal people in our country.
The ministers who served the people could not stand it, and they all came forward to remonstrate with him, hoping to alert His Majesty. However, these remonstrances made Long Yan furious. His Majesty, not only could he not listen to any words of persuasion, he would also punish those loyal ministers who dared to speak out.
One by one, he was punished, some were removed from office, and the most serious were thrown into prison. Alas, your Majesty acted like this, and coupled with the current violent politics of the court, your Majesty no longer has the title of 'Benevolent King' as far as the people are concerned."
Hearing this, Lang Fei frowned deeply, sighed, and said: "Master once said that cultivators should not be involved in this kind of dynasty change, the rise and fall of honor and disgrace. Although I am also worried after listening to Mr. Xu's words, it is really
It’s not appropriate to take action.”
Hearing Lang Fei's words, Mr. Xu did not answer, but continued: "Half a year ago, with the help of the Imperial Guard Prince's cronies, the little old man went to the East Palace to meet His Highness. At that time, His Highness made a statement to the little old man.
When he went to remonstrate with the Holy One who had not yet become irritable, he said that he had seen His Majesty swallowing an elixir in the royal room. His Highness was curious and asked what the elixir was.
This sentence angered His Majesty, and he was confined in the East Palace and was not allowed to go out. Later, after experiencing the changes of this year, after thinking about it, His Highness speculated that there was something hidden in the unusual behavior of His Majesty, and
The elixir that His Majesty takes every day should be the key to this matter. Judging from this, His Highness speculated that someone in the palace must have used witchcraft to confuse His Majesty, but now His Majesty has obviously been controlled. If it was done by someone in the palace
The investigation was bound to be met with many obstacles, and he was banned in the East Palace, which was very inconvenient for the matter, so he informed the Empress. As the head of the harem, the Empress was deeply aware of the corruption of the imperial court.
Worried, I agreed to the matter after meeting with His Highness's envoy. However, after spending a long time, I found that there was no way to do it in the palace. Only by inviting someone above the imperial power could I restrain His Majesty, who was protected by the imperial guards, and thoroughly investigate the matter.
cause and effect."
"Above the imperial power, huh? Didn't the Han Dynasty have the position of national preceptor? I heard that it was always held by cultivators. You can ask him to take action." When Xu Laoyan came here, Lang Fei suddenly interrupted and asked
One sentence.
"Don't be impatient, young master. Please listen to me slowly. The Queen and her advisors discussed it and felt that the Imperial Preceptor was the best candidate, so she sent an envoy to lobby. However, the Imperial Preceptor saw that
When the envoy arrived, he heard the Queen's conjecture and rejected it on the grounds that it was not suitable for people in the immortal way to interfere in political affairs. This method was fruitless, and the Queen had to find another way, but how could he imagine that such a confidential matter only took a few days?
The news soon reached His Majesty's ears, and naturally what followed was a general purge, and even the Queen was thrown into the cold palace and placed under house arrest."
Lang Fei frowned deeply when he heard this. He felt that there were many strange things in it. However, without investigation, he could not figure out the truth behind the incident for a while. Such strange things gradually aroused his curiosity.
heart of.
Seeing Lang Fei's expression, Mr. Xu worked harder, knelt down on the ground with a thud, banged his head several times, and choked up: "Later, there was a rumor from the Imperial Preceptor's Office that the Imperial Preceptor thought that his cultivation was not enough, and he was afraid that
He provoked his enemy, so he didn't dare to accept that matter. After hearing this, His Highness suddenly felt that there was nothing he could do. Suddenly he remembered the little old man, and suddenly thought that if anyone could solve the danger in front of the big man, it would be the young master and the young lady. As long as they can
With even a little help from the young master and young lady’s sect, this matter will be solved easily. However, the young master and young lady have not returned since they left for seven years, and they don’t know when they will return home. Such a plan is just to do their best and obey fate. So under the guidance of His Highness,
After thousands of instructions, the little old man returned to the master's house. Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and the hope has long been dispelled. Who would have thought that the young master and the young lady would both return home today. Just now, the little old man saw something again.
Knowing the power of the young master’s spiritual beast, I found an opportunity to boldly ask for the young master’s help.”
Lang Fei looked at Mr. Xu who was lying on the ground silently, thought about it for a moment, helped him up, and said: "If there is really an evil cultivator in the court, since I am back, I should be in charge of it."
, Mr. Xu, you get up first, I will agree to this matter, stay at home for a few days, and then I will go with you to the capital to explore and see what kind of secret is hidden behind this matter."
Hearing Lang Fei's words, Mr. Xu trembled, then let go of his hands, and fell to the ground again. While kowtowing, he said: "In this way, on behalf of Your Highness and the fellow countrymen of the Han Dynasty, I would like to express my gratitude to the young master for his great support."
It’s so kind.”
Lang Fei hurriedly stepped forward and picked it up, and said with a wry smile: "No, no, the prince treats my family well. Besides, before I went to the mountain to practice, I can be regarded as a citizen of the Han Dynasty. If there is an appropriate opportunity, of course I will."
We should give him a helping hand or two."
"That's great, that's great. I will fix it for His Highness tonight and tell him about it and make him happy."
Lang Fei looked at Mr. Xu who was still laughing and forgetting himself at such an age, shook his head, and secretly sighed that there were so many loyal ministers, and the strength of the Han Dynasty should not have declined like this.
"Okay, Mr. Xu, it's already past the ugly time. I've been flying all day and I'm a little tired. It's late now, so you should go and have a rest." The sound of drumming came from far away at the end of the street outside the courtyard.
, Lang Fei said softly while looking at the dim moon setting in the west.
"Oh, haha, yes, yes, yes, the little old man is confused. The young master has been tired for a day and it's time to rest. The little old man will take his leave now." After saying that, he nodded to Lang Fei and bowed with a slight smile.
He exited the room and walked all the way to his concierge. Accompanied by the moonlight, the figures gradually disappeared, leaving only a vague voice. "Your Highness, I finally lived up to your trust."
