Chapter 36
The news of the death of Emperor Jianwen and Empress Shangguan fell on the capital like a thunder, causing huge waves in the entire capital.
Chen Luo was also a little stunned.
The development of this plot is a bit unclear.
Since ancient times, even if the queen committed a serious crime, there was no plan to directly execute her, not to mention that the emperor would go to the cold palace to do it in person.
"Things are getting more and more complicated!"
Chen Luo muttered.
I told Ji Bao that it would be better to stay out of the house less recently.
This capital is going to be in chaos!
as expected.
Some inappropriate rumors began to appear in the capital.
It is rumored that Emperor Yongle is not actually of the Xiao family's bloodline. Not only Emperor Yongle, but also the original Emperor Tianqi is not of the Xiao family's bloodline.
But after the Wu family.
Everyone still remembers clearly how strong the Wu family was back then.
He is an important minister of Conglong of Emperor Tianqi.
He is the most distinguished person in the court.
He holds millions of military power in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
If it weren't for Emperor Tianqi's incompetence in the later period, the Wu family would not have been wiped out so easily.
Now that news suddenly came out that Emperor Tianqi was from the Wu family, naturally not many people believed it.
But...
after this news appeared, a large amount of evidence also appeared.
These evidences directly point to the inheritance of the throne of Emperor Wenzong at that time.
You must know that Emperor Tianqi was the only surviving son of Emperor Wenzong back then. Whether in military affairs or in governing the country, Emperor Tianqi's ability was no worse than that of Emperor Jianwen.
But the final throne was still passed to Emperor Jianwen.
Passing on the throne from generation to generation...this is something unprecedented.
If this were not the case, there would be no subsequent Battle of Apocalypse.
The real reason for this is that Emperor Tianqi was the son of Queen Wencheng and the Marquis of the Wu family.
Before entering the palace, Queen Wencheng had a close relationship with the Marquis of the Wu family.
Later, after giving birth to Emperor Tianqi, Emperor Wenzong never went to Kunning Palace.
Various rumors confirm these things.
Not only that, it was rumored that Emperor Wenzong also left a secret edict, which contained the royal scandal.
The whole capital was talking about this matter. People from Jinyiwei and Dongchang killed a lot of people, but there were always a lot of rumors coming out... The killings were
endless...
The thoughts of the government and the public were even more profound, and no one knew what they were thinking.
In this atmosphere.
Chen Luo still reads and sleeps when he has free time, and plays boxing and fishing when he is bored.
Especially fishing.
This skill was suddenly upgraded from level one to level six.
Ji Yun, on the other hand, found this kind of fishing boring.
He is particularly interested in martial arts.
He walked around Chen Luo every day, looking at Chen Luo eagerly.
Nothing was said.
But Chen Luo still understood the general meaning.
He wanted to practice martial arts.
Chen Luonai is a famous master in the Zhou Dynasty.
It is an existence at the pinnacle of martial arts.
With his guidance, it was an absolute opportunity...
something Chen Luoben didn't want to pay attention to.
But I feel like this kid really has some fate with me.
As for him, he doesn't think about anything, he only believes in fate.
Otherwise, in this huge capital city, why do I have such a fate with the Ji family?
Chen Luo still gave Ji Yun some pointers.
Martial arts in the world is not unique to one family. If someone is willing to learn it and you happen to be in a good mood, there is no need to be stingy.
When Ji Bao heard that Chen Luo agreed to give advice to Ji Yun, he was so excited that he quickly prepared to bow. He pressed Ji Yun's shoulders and asked him to kneel down and pay homage to Chen Luo.
But no matter how hard he pressed, Ji Yun could not kneel down.
At his knees, an invisible force of energy stopped him.
"Our family lives in your Ji's house. As a reward, we occasionally give guidance to Ji Yun. This is considered as repaying the cause and effect. But there is no need to accept a disciple! Our
family has no idea of accepting a disciple... If we have such an idea one day , it’s not too late.”
Although Ji Bao was a little regretful,
if his boy could get the guidance of the master, even if it was just a few words, it would be an opportunity that would benefit him a lot in this life.
In the capital, the atmosphere became increasingly serious.
In this situation.
A guest came to the Ji family.
Two people.
These two people are still the most famous people in the entire capital.
Commander of the Jin Yiwei: Sima Junliang.
The Governor of Dongchang: Xiao Tianxing.
They waited quietly in the Ji family's living room, with the Ji family's housekeeper entertaining them, but for the housekeeper, this was more uncomfortable than death.
Who would dare to believe that two powerful nobles in the capital were entertained by a servant?
Fortunately...
Ji Bao is here.
Facing these two people, he was also a little scared.
But thinking that there is a master-level Master Chen in the backyard, he finally feels a lot more confident.
"Commander Sima, Governor Xiao...I'm sorry, Master Chen doesn't want to see you."
Ji Bao said,
"Master Chen knows what you two want to do here. He said...the affairs of the royal family have nothing to do with him. , Emperor Yongle was the emperor of Zhou Dynasty. Whatever he did was his right, and he had no right to say anything.
As for himself, he was just a little eunuch. He couldn't even take care of himself, let alone the royal family. So
I hope you two can go back and not disturb his fishing...and...the Ji family won't keep you for dinner."
Ji Bao said.
Secretly wiping the cold sweat from his forehead,
the last sentence was also said by Master Chen.
He didn't dare to say it at first, but when he thought about it, it was Master Chen who said it. He couldn't help but finish what he said, right?
Fortunately, he secretly took a look at the faces of the two of them, and there was nothing wrong with them.
Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Sima Jundian nodded, saluted to the backyard, and left Ji's house.
Outside Ji's house.
Xiao Tianxing, the governor of Dongchang, couldn't help but ask: "Why don't you invite me again? If you can ask the master to take action, your majesty's big things will definitely come true!"
Sima Junliang said: "If it were other masters, maybe they could force it, but Grandmaster Chen would not fight for anything, he would not fight with the world... He has lived alone in the Sutra Collection Pavilion in the harem for many years. If it weren't for His Majesty, he might have left Tibet this time." Even the Jing Pavilion doesn’t know how to do it.
Your Majesty asked us to come this time, and we just tried it, and we didn’t make any preparations for success. If we force it, we may push Grandmaster Chen into confrontation, and then we will regret it!"
Xiao Tianxing nodded.
Looking at Ji's backyard, his eyes were filled with respect and some envy.
Grandmaster realm...the pinnacle of martial arts,
a being that even emperors would not dare to provoke.
What a pity,
what a pity.
If he was obsessed with power, he would probably be the most powerful person in the world.
The position of the head of a country is not impossible.
On the night after Sima Junliang and Xiao Tianxing left, a figure appeared at the back door of Ji's house.
Before he could step forward.
The door to the backyard opened slowly.
Ji Bao came out and said to the visitor: "Old sir, Mr. Chen has been waiting for you for a long time..." The
visitor was stunned for a moment, then smiled, stroking his beard, and walked into the backyard,
where he was.
Under the pavilion.
Chen Luo read at night under the lantern.
After seeing the person coming in, he slowly put down the Spring and Autumn in his hand.
"Should our family call you Emperor Jianwen now, or should we call you the leader of the White Lotus Sect?"
Jianwen Emperor Xiao Yun said: "Whether it's Emperor Jianwen or the leader of the White Lotus Sect, Grandmaster Chen can call you whatever he wants!" At
this point , .
He looked at Chen Luo.
With an unprecedented seriousness on his face:
"I came here tonight to ask for only one thing.
If there is a riot in the capital one day, can Eunuch Chen remain aloof from the world as usual?"
