I Have a Luck Altar Chapter 571

Chapter 571 Tough Jingtai!

"He's just lying to you. The Sima family's immortal was born, and the poor monk and you will pass away today."

Obviously, this time it was Mara's Buddha image that prevailed.

Actually, Chen Yuan himself didn't know whether it was Mara who was the compassionate Buddha, or Mara was the devil who was fierce and devouring people.

After all, in his memory, when he was in Wudi City, an old man who couldn't see clearly and covered the sky once called him the demon monk Mo Luo.

Known as a demon monk, this is definitely not a good monk.

It should be both good and evil, otherwise it would not be divided into Buddha and devil.

For some reason, it seems that after returning from Liangzhou, Mo Luo's Buddha image is no longer the only one in charge. Last time, it was the magic image that lent him a ray of power.

It is still the devil that speaks.

"Damn donkey, you fart, if you honestly integrate with me, can't the strength of this seat not kill a guy who has just entered the sixth realm for more than two hundred years?"

The devil said coldly.

"You can't."

Buddha's answer is very concise.

If you can't do it, you can't do it.

It was fine in its heyday, but it is not so easy to recover from hundreds of years of suppression. Even if you get a golden lotus, it will take a while to cultivate.

"Senior, don't quarrel. Today's point is not to kill some immortal, as long as you can escape from the capital safely." Chen Yuan said immediately.

Even if it was possible to kill the immortals of the Sima family as the demon said, he was not willing.

What he wants is to survive, not the physical collapse of the primordial spirit.

He aims at longevity in martial arts, not fighting to death.

Besides, the Buddha also said that even if his physical body collapses and his primordial spirit disappears, he can't kill an immortal, and he has to fall in the capital, which is really not worth the loss.

"Humph."

Magic Phase no longer speaks.

"This is a catastrophe in the practice of the poor monk, and the benefactor does not need to worry too much." After Mo Luo Buddha gained the upper hand, he told Chen Yuan this sentence.

After that, he stopped talking and cut off the connection with the divine sense.

Chen Yuan didn't say much, walking along the way, he had already arrived at the palace gate of the imperial city, and the gatekeeper was still his former subordinate.

Seeing Chen Yuan approaching, more than a dozen people immediately bowed and saluted:

"See Lord Envoy!"

"Um."

Nodding at them, Chen Yuan walked into the imperial city with a blank face, and met some court officials on the way, and greeted Chen Yuan with some courtesy.

Everyone in the capital knows that the emperor intends to recruit Chen Yuan as his son-in-law, and the future is bright. Now he is regarded as a high-ranking and powerful man, so what will happen in the future?

Even if you don't make friends, it's always okay to get acquainted with each other.

It's a pity that they didn't know that Chen Yuan didn't want this marriage, so they had already rejected Jingtai through Zhang Yantong's mouth.

After a few words of pleasantries, Chen Yuan's speed increased a lot, and he soon arrived outside the Golden Luan Hall. The sky had almost completely brightened for this matter.

He stood on one side, without squinting, with a certain air.

Quietly waiting for today's court meeting.

Not long after, more and more civil and military officials gathered at the entrance of the Jinluan Hall, talking about things, among which the most talked about was the death of Lu Renjia, the golden envoy of Shuzhou.

Although the person is called Lu Renjia, he is not without a sense of presence. He can also be regarded as a high-ranking official in the outer town, or an official in a violent yamen like the Xuntian Division, which is even more remarkable.

Now being beheaded among the people, how can it not make people angry?

Even if he is dissatisfied with the Sky Survey Division, who would dare to gloat in this situation?

If the Sky Surveyor does not need to take action, the emperor will push him out of the Meridian Gate and behead him for public display.

Estimating the time, when it was about the same time, the gate of the Golden Luan Hall was pulled open by the eunuch, and shouted in a shrill voice:

"Go up!"

The atmosphere of the civil and military officials who were discussing a lot suddenly froze, and there was no sound. Then, they entered the Golden Luan Hall in order of official rank to prepare for the court meeting.

Different from the last time, Chen Yuan is now the Marquis of Wu'an in the current dynasty, the third-rank Xuntiansi Tianzi God Envoy, although he is not a second-rank high-ranking official in the first echelon.

But it can be regarded as the leader of the second echelon.

For example, Zhang Yantong, Wu Tianxi, Zuo Tiancheng and the others let Chen Yuan stand at the head of the left, and his position was still higher than that of several generals in the army, which showed his power.

Hundreds of civil and military officials are listed.

It was almost the same as before. When a **** shouted "Your Majesty is coming", all the civil and military officials below greeted the emperor.

Naturally, the high-ranking ones only need to bow down, while the junior officials of the fifth and sixth ranks in the back must kneel down to greet Jingtai.

The three princes followed behind Jingtai and entered through the side door step by step.

Jingtai's face was calm, no emotion could be seen, he stepped onto the dragon chair, watched the shouting below end, and said lightly:

"Everyone is flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

A rather neat voice sounded, and the officials of the Golden Luan Hall stood up in unison.

"Start playing if there is something to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do."

A middle-aged **** shouted loudly.

Governor Xiao Jing took a step sideways and said in a deep voice:

"My minister has something important to announce!"

"Say."

Jingtai spit out a word.

"Your Majesty, there was news from Shuzhou yesterday that Lu Renjia, the Jin envoy of Shuzhou,

Xiao Jing narrated what he said yesterday with a deadpan expression and a slightly gloomy face.

The main hall was immediately quiet, and then there were loud reprimands.

"Presumptuous! How dare a monster despise the imperial court so much!"

"Damn it!"

"Bold monster, please order to kill it!"

Among the ranks of military officers, voices rose one after another, and a strong murderous aura shrouded the Golden Luan Hall.

Jingtai, who was sitting high on the dragon chair, also looked gloomy, and said sharply:

"The demon who messed up in Sichuan must be severely punished. According to my will, I will dispatch elites from the Xuntian Division to investigate this matter with all my strength. No matter who it is, the nine clans will be punished!"

"Follow the order."

Xiao Jing accepted the order in a condensed voice, and continued:

"The minister recommended Chen Yuan, the Marquis of Wu'an, to pursue this matter. His strength and means are all the top choices, and the practice of the Sky Survey Division is prior, so it should be outside the town of Shuzhou."

Jingtai's eyes flickered, he stared at Chen Yuan who was not looking sideways, and said lightly:

"this matter"

Before he could finish his words, there was a red-robed **** outside the palace, kneeling anxiously in front of the Golden Luan Hall:

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Lanzhou, Youzhou."

All civil and military officials looked back, Jingtai frowned and said in a deep voice:

"Say."

The red-robed **** entered the Golden Luan Hall, put his head on his head and whispered:

"Youzhou was in turmoil. A blood sacrifice from the northern barbarians broke into the Youzhou barracks and poisoned more than ten thousand elite soldiers. The vegetation was destroyed and there was no life for ten miles. The city of Lanzhou was attacked by warriors from the Western Regions, and over ten thousand were killed and injured."

quiet!

There was another moment of silence in the Golden Luan Hall.

The situation where the crowd was excited before was repeated again.

Jingtai's pupils shrank deeply, as if he was shocked, and his face was as gloomy as water.

Chen Yuan, who is old and self-sufficient, also raised his eyebrows in surprise. So many things happened, and a lot of big things happened in the north, south, and west at the same time.

Rare indeed.

The north and the south are fine, and it has not been peaceful.

But Western Lanzhou does not have a high sense of presence in the Central Plains, and there are very few times of turmoil. Now, when something happens, it is a major event, and more than ten thousand elite soldiers have been poisoned to death.

The city of Lanzhou was hit.

Counting someone storming the city of Shuzhou, it seems a bit chaotic.

However, this is beneficial to Chen Yuan's current situation.

If Jingtai was still a little rational, he wouldn't be able to persecute him too deeply, otherwise these things would be rushed together, and if not handled properly, it would cause a chain reaction.

He glanced at Jingtai who was sitting tall, and saw the strong murderous intent on his face.

The entire hall can feel it, one can imagine how angry he is now.

"Where is Wu Tianxi, the envoy of the Heaven Surveying Department with the yellow character?"

Wu Tianxi, who was standing beside Chen Yuan, fixed his eyes, stepped forward and bowed:

"The minister is here."

"I want you to call five hundred elites of the Imperial Superintendent to go to Youzhou, find out where the evildoers are causing the turmoil, and kill them all, as a warning to others!"

"The humble minister obeys the order!"

Wu Tianxi immediately cupped his fists and bowed.

He didn't seem surprised. Usually, people from the Xuntian Division would do this kind of thing, but it was the first time that someone was transferred from the Imperial Supervisory Division.

It's normal to think about it. Other places also have to employ people, and the headquarters also has to retain part of the force, which can only be used from the Imperial Supervision Department.

"Zhang Yantong, the envoy of Xuntian Sixuan, where is General Wu Shu of Pingxi in Daying, the capital?"

"The minister is here!"

The two stepped forward one by one.

"As Zhang Yantong mobilized 300 elite soldiers from the Sky Survey Division, Wu Shu mobilized 20,000 elite soldiers from various military camps in Lanzhou to quell the turmoil in Lanzhou in the shortest possible time. outside!"

Jingtai's eyes were full of murderous intent, and the cold air was overflowing.

Lanzhou Yumen Pass is the largest pass with the Western Regions. Every day, huge caravans of warriors from both sides pass by. It is definitely a good place to serve as a warning to others.

"The humble minister obeys the order!"

Zhang Yantong and the capital general Wu Shu responded immediately.

"Great Governor Xiao Jing listened to the order."

"The minister is here."

"You are in charge of this matter, and all problems must be resolved in the shortest possible time." Jingtai stared at him.

"Your Majesty, Shuzhou."

Xiao Jing looked up at Jingtai, hesitant.

Jingtai's eyes hesitated. This time is really not the time to oppress Chen Yuan too much. Last night, he thought about temporarily suppressing Chen Yuan, and entrusted him with important tasks after he agreed to the marriage.

But he didn't expect that accidents would happen one after another in the north and west. It's really tricky at this time.

And his confidant still recommended Chen Yuan, which is really a bit tricky.

Looking at Chen Yuan who was hanging his head in thought, Jingtai took a breath and moved his eyes:

"Where is Chen Yuan, Marquis of Wu'an?"

Seeing that Jingtai finally called his name, Chen Yuan exhaled, took a step sideways, and bowed:

"The minister is here."

He thought about the current situation, if Jingtai still forced the marriage, it would be a bit ugly, and he should suppress it for the time being, which is also a good thing for him.

If you can not tear your face, it is better not to tear your face.

Being feared by the emperor and being valued by the emperor are two completely different things, and they will also have a great impact on his future actions.

"I intend to divide you into Shu Prefecture for a period of time to track down these demons who dare to attack the city. Are you confident that you can do it?"

"The humble minister will live up to His Majesty's trust."

Chen Yuan immediately said loudly.

"Okay, you are worthy of being my Marquis of Wu'an. You have courage and spirit. I am very relieved. You have made great contributions to me time and time again, and you have made great contributions to my country. I don't know how to reward you."

The gloom on Jingtai's face gradually dissipated, replaced by appreciation.

Hearing this, Chen Yuan's heart sank, and he understood that even at this time Jingtai still hadn't given up the idea of forced marriage.

took a deep breath, and said:

"I am an official of the imperial court. I eat the salary of the imperial court and enjoy the title of the imperial court. It is the right thing to do for your Majesty and the imperial court. Your Majesty's merits and demerits are clear, and the rewards and punishments are right. I have already rewarded my humble ministers. I really dare not ask for any more rewards." .”

Looking at Chen Yuan's evasion, ordinary officials didn't notice anything, they just thought that Chen Yuan's words were beautiful, but Jingtai on the dragon chair frowned slightly.

He knew what he was talking about.

Chen Yuan also knew what he was talking about.

But he still refused, which made him feel a little unhappy. Instead of speaking immediately, he moved his eyes and looked at a civil servant on the right.

The corner of Cui Wenli's mouth twitched, Minister of Rites, knowing what the emperor was hinting at.

but.

It is inappropriate to mention this fact at this time.

But he also understands that if this matter is not finalized, it will be more difficult to recruit Chen Yuan as his son-in-law after he leaves the capital.

Seeing the urging expression in the emperor's eyes, Cui Wenli took a deep breath, took a step sideways, bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, I have a way to reward Marquis Wu'an."

"Oh? Tell me?"

Jingtai said indifferently, showing no joy, anger, sorrow or joy.

But the civil and military officials of the Jinluan Palace are a little confused. They were murderous just now and wanted to deal with those monsters. Shouldn't they be excited now?

Why did you suddenly want to reward Chen Yuan?

He obtained the title of Marquis before, and he was still the Marquis of Wanhu, and now he has become the third-rank God Patrol Angel of the Sky Survey Department.

Thinking of this, many officials suddenly felt sour and envious.

Having holy family means comfort.

But such a holy family, Chen Yuan, would rather not. He wanted to interrupt, but he knew his situation, and he was silent. He was thinking in his heart that if it was too critical later, could he rush up and kill Jingtai directly?

Gu Tianqiong, the Duke of Wei, Li Kuangxiu, the Duke of Zhen, and Puxian Bodhisattva, the national teacher, were all absent, which seemed to be a possibility.

I just don't know if there are no strong people around to guard secretly, or if Jingtai has any backhands in his hands.

This guy is a bit weird, Chen Yuan thinks it should not be so easy to kill.

Zhang Yantong knew the inside story, frowned, and subconsciously glanced at Chen Yuan.

Xiao Jing also knows the inside story, but he can't ask to help, and if there is a conflict, he can't help, otherwise the Xiang family's many years of planning will be ruined.

No matter what happens, it is impossible for Jingtai to kill Chen Yuan directly.

Otherwise the impact is too great.

More than a dozen eyes were on Cui Wenli, but after he made up his mind, his face remained normal, and he continued:

"Although Marquis Wu'an is young, but he is approaching his thirties, it is really a pity that he has not married yet. Recently, I heard about the disturbance in the capital, saying that Marquis Wu'an is compatible with the eldest princess Pingyang. One is the world's number one martial arts genius. The youngest Wan Huhou's fame shook the world.

One is the eldest daughter of His Majesty, with both civil and military skills, both moral and ability, beautiful and beautiful, she is the most suitable couple in the world.

Why don't you reward Marquis Wu'an with a marriage, marry the eldest princess, and marry the royal family, so that both Marquis Wu'an and the eldest princess can be satisfied, wouldn't everyone be happy? "

Cui Wenli recited a lot with eloquence.

Chen Yuan is as immobile as a mountain.

Stand up in the near future?

He doesn't even have twenty-five

Where is the 30th year?

The fourth prince Sima Ke above grinned unconsciously, ecstatic in his heart.

Eldest Prince Sima Gan and Second Prince Sima You frowned, but they didn't dare to say anything more.

The civil and military officials below discussed in low voices.

After Cui Wenli finished speaking, several officials from the Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Households, and Ministry of Industry immediately stepped forward and said:

"My minister agrees that Marquis Wu'an and the eldest princess are a match made in heaven. Marriage and marriage are also a matter of course. With the eldest princess here, I think Marquis Wu'an can do his best for the court."

"Master Zhao is right, and this minister also thinks it is appropriate. The only one in the world who is worthy of His Highness the Eldest Princess is Marquis Wu'an, and the only one who is qualified to be the wife of Marquis Wu'an is Her Majesty the Eldest Princess."

"The adults are right, this is a match made in heaven."

A series of voices sounded immediately, completely forgetting the murderous scene where the crowd was excited and angrily scolded the demon before, but it became a scene of urging marriage.

It made many officials who didn't know the inside story feel dazed.

Chen Yuan calmed down, slightly clenched his fists between his sleeves.

If it is so neat, it is obvious that it has been rehearsed long ago.

Jingtai really did not give up.

In order to maintain the royal face, let the officials below propose.

However, this is also within his expectation, so the temporary reaction is not very big.

Zhang Yantong thought that Chen Yuan was going to acquiesce, and the scene of his daughter sitting at home in a daze for the past few days flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help sighing softly.

The emperor's order is hard to break, I hope Chen Yuan understands current affairs.

Jingtai smiled imperceptibly at the corner of his mouth, and nodded slightly:

"I didn't expect such rumors to exist in the capital. It's quite interesting, but what Cui Aiqing said is indeed reasonable. Not to mention other things, Marquis Wu An has made many great achievements for the court, but he still hasn't got married. This is also my negligence."

"Hmm..." Jingtai groaned, fixed his eyes on Chen Yuan, and said with a light smile:

"Marquis of Wu'an."

"The minister is here."

Chen Yuan lowered his eyes, staring at the somewhat reflective black jade on the ground, a sternness flashed in his eyes.

"You are loyal to me, and you have made great contributions to the court. I originally wanted to use other things to reward you, but now you are a third-rank heaven patrol officer, and when you are a prince of thousands of households, some rewards will not be in your eyes.

Since you have no marriage so far, then I will make the decision to marry the eldest princess Pingyang to you as a wife. Well, you took my order to go to Shuzhou,

Time cannot be delayed for too long, so choose a date to get married. "

The emperor made a final decision with a smile on his lips.

Chen Yuan let out a long breath, and said:

"I don't want to get married for the time being, Your Majesty, please take it back."

"What did you say!"

Jingtai's face turned cold, and the atmosphere of the Jinluan Hall changed instantly.

Chen Yuan raised his head, looked at the figure on the dragon chair, and said word by word:

"Your Majesty, please take it back!"
