On the Mangzhong Day of the Year Jiachen, today at the court meeting, the exceptionally exquisite Panlong caisson hung above the head. On the dragon chair sat Song He, the Emperor of Great Li who was in his prime, and hundreds of officials from different ranks stood in the main hall.

Among the officials and ministers, the position of the new Imperial Preceptor was almost the same as that of Cui Han back then. Like the emperor, he was facing the most powerful group of people in Da Li.

Chen Ping'an held his sleeves with his hands, holding a seal in the palm of his hand. On the side were engraved the true shapes of the Five Mountains, as well as Qidu and rivers. Of course, lakes like Shujian Lake were also among them. It can be said that the mountains and rivers of a country are all "on the wall".

The bottom invoice is "Seal of Chen Ping'an, Grand Master of the Great Li Kingdom".

The emperor personally gave the imperial court's new Imperial Seal, and the ceremony was complete.

This means that the lifeblood of the country, the Great Li Dynasty, is in his hands.

The old seal has not yet been cancelled, and the new seal has been given.

Chen Pingan said nothing and did not participate in any agenda discussion.

But Song He clearly discovered that today these civil and military officials, who can be called the pillars of the country, are very nervous. Those who speak often need to deliberately raise their voices. Those who are silent in the queue are holding their breath and concentrating, and there are many who pretend not to be nervous.

The official used the corner of his eye to quickly look at the new Imperial Advisor in court uniform, hoping to find out more secrets from the subtle expressions on his face.

Chen Ping'an silently felt the mysterious feeling of inspiration. Just as he described it himself, the Great Li Dynasty was a picture of ascension and harmony, and the country was the human body. When he used the most legitimate method, he had this place.

The seal, almost in an instant, went from the Imperial Temple, Qintian Prison, City God Temple, the Great Gaoxuan Hall for praying for rain, the Fire Temple... to

The land of Gyeonggi, the land of Longxing of the Song clan of Dali, the flowing water of Dadu, the towering of the Five Mountains, the Song Yunjian with the name of Yinning in different cities, the manifestation of the dragon's luck entrenched in the sky of Dali Capital, a building

In the imitation white jade capital above the sea of ​​clouds, Chen Ping'an could even clearly feel the pulses of all the fortunes of heaven and earth flowing on the Great Li territory.

It seems that everyone is congratulating, rejoicing, and bowing their heads.

Using the court hall as a Taoist temple is like a mysterious and mysterious combination of Taoism.

A mustard seed in Chen Pingan's heart suddenly seemed like a small fish jumping out of the green grass, and like a big sun suddenly rising out of the sea. In an instant, the sky above Aquarius Island seemed to appear for the first time in history...

The two majestic gods, like the blue sky with their eyes open, overlook the human territory of the Great Li Dynasty.

In an instant, Chen Pingan's mind was in the sky and the earth. The scene had just changed from chaos to the beginning of the Hongmeng. The sky and the earth were separated from the clear and turbid. The heaven and earth were created. The tornado suddenly spread out, and countless golden lights burst out.

Come on, it's like a swordsmith in the shop, swinging a hammer high and hitting it hard, beating it hard.

The bright red sword embryos filled the room with sparks. There were tens of millions of golden words, as well as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth after refining and fusing hundreds of magic weapons and spiritual weapons, as well as the thick and long martial arts luck, like grains.

The seeds are sown in the human body, heaven and earth, and countless buildings, people, mountains, rivers and plants appear in the mind world.

With both eyes open, the heart looks at oneself, and the sea of ​​clouds on Aquarius Island looks at the sky and the earth. The Taoist's small world of human body and the big external world form a golden bridge of immortality that resonates between heaven and man.

Emperor Song He occasionally turned his head slightly and asked softly if the Imperial Master had any opinions, or asked Chen Pingan's opinion with his eyes, but the latter shook his head.

The imperial court was about to merge the prefectures and establish roads. Sun Mao, the chief official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, reviewed the results, re-ranked the officials of the six departments of the capital, and dispatched more than 200,000 troops from various states to reinforce the wilderness battlefield. Each of these was no small matter.

The new Imperial Preceptor who is too quiet and silent would be mistaken for a puppet of the Song family in Da Li, just like a deaf-mute wooden man standing in the court hall if he was completely unaware.

Most officials felt that since Chen Ping'an was the most important person in the new official's appointment, his first public appearance at the DPRK meeting today must be some dramatic and violent measures.

The remaining handful of people are relatively familiar with Chen Pingan's style of conduct, such as Cao Gengxin from the Ministry of Personnel, Zhao Yao from the Ministry of Punishment, Dong Hu from the Ministry of Rites, or the important ministers of Dali who had already met the new owner of the chair in the Xiaochao. Although they did not

Do you think that Chen Ping'an needs to take the opportunity to establish his authority, but as the new national advisor, he is very likely to say one or two words at the end of today's court meeting that will be memorable and even enough to intimidate hundreds of officials?

Perhaps it was his first time wearing an official uniform, so he felt a little uncomfortable. Chen Pingan gently tugged on his collar and moved his shoulders slightly.

Due to the location where he stood, he could have a clear view of the faces and expressions of the officials in the palace.

No matter how generous Mr. Cao was, he would not dare to bring the purple wine gourd with him when he went to court.

Zhao Yao, a nephew of Wenmai who was promoted to the rank of Minister of the First Division despite having no merit as a child, still seemed to be somewhat mature and prudent.

If it hadn't been for the incident that year, according to Cui Chan's established arrangements, the official minister of Da Li should have been Ma Zhan, who also served as the head of Linlu Academy in Piyun Mountain.

Appearing in the main hall today, there are also a group of old people from the royal family of the Song Dynasty in Dali. Several of them have been making some small moves in the past few years and want to seek real power in the court. It is estimated that they have completely given up now. In Cui

In the hands of Han, the whole line of the Song family was beaten

The pressure was very miserable. There used to be a few talented and capable people who were always wasting their years in the yamen on the edge of the officialdom, or raising flowers and playing birds in the feudal residence, and then they became the old people they are now. As a result, the new national preceptor turned out to be another

Cui Chan's junior brother, where can I go to reason?

The only ones who can come out are probably Song Changjing of the previous generation and Song Mu, the king of Luo of this generation. As for the relatives, the family does not even have a sixth-rank official on the Queen Mother's side. Queen Yu Mian is a little better, but she is still only

Because the Yu family originally had the surname of Shangzhu Kingdom, even so, just a few days ago, within the Yu family, the queen was nominally visiting relatives, and the scenery was infinitely good.

, in fact, a meeting in the ancestral hall was secretly held, and a eunuch who was responsible for the rituals appeared quietly, holding an imperial edict. A crowd of people knelt down to receive the edict. During this period, an uncle and a cousin of Yu Mian were both present.

He was an official and was taken away on the spot. As for where he was taken, it might be a prison, or he might be in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. God knows.

Yu Mian's face was expressionless from beginning to end. She just remembered the conversation with lingering fear. His Majesty the Emperor himself told her that if it were just the two cases investigated by Zhao Yao of the Ministry of Punishment, he could still help a little, but the Imperial Preceptor's Office

There are actually people named Yu inside who have the courage to collude with outsiders and try to get away with it. The Queen Mother just asked about this matter. Finally, His Majesty the Emperor, who looked gentle, asked her, what do you think we should do.

So the meeting at the ancestral hall lasted all night, and it could be described as gloomy. When she got up and walked out of the ancestral hall, it was already dawn. Queen Yu Mian knew that from this day on, the Yu family of Shangzhu Kingdom, who had a close relationship with the Dali border army, would

We must begin an “orderly” exit within two or three years.

Temple, was forced to leave the border army and officialdom. Twenty years, and we need to wait another twenty years. One of the several promotion plans in Dali officialdom, either overt or covert, this "official road" was cut off. But at least the emperor

Your Majesty, or to be more precise, the Imperial Master's Office, gave the Yu family some dignity.

As the head of the Yu family, the old man was standing next to Yu Mian at that time. The old man felt a little emotional about how the officialdom was ups and downs. He said hoarsely: "I remembered an old friend. I used to like to go against Cui Guoshi. Later, he was okay.

Withdrew whole body,

Tell me, walking on some roads that involve the general trend of a country is like drinking. He drank half a glass of wine and knew it was poisonous wine. He was half dead and stopped drinking. But there are also some people who taste it.

If it’s poisonous wine, just drink the rest.”

Then the old man told a metaphor, which made Yu Mian dumbfounded.

"The latter refuses to look back and is harder to pull than the New Year Pig."

Finally, the old man looked at her and said with a smile: "Change the table and have a glass of wine. I can't wait until that day. You can still have a chance."

Zhao Yao knew all these inside stories. He glanced at Chen Ping'an. He had indeed done what he said. After checking to the end, there was no limit to the top.

Moreover, Zhao Yao still has a big case to handle. It turns out that Liu Qingfeng, the book boy who accompanied the capital minister Liu Qingfeng in the past, is now a monk in Luolu Mountain. He privately handed Chen Pingan a booklet involving the Aquarius Island in those days.

The excavation of Dadu in the central part of the country was all attributed to Liu Qingfeng, a ruthless man who had been the supervisor of Dadu... The secret record implicated two hundred people from dozens of big and small families.

There are many princes, nobles, and officials' sons. There are more than 20 third-rank officials in the capital city, accompanying the capital ministers and local ministers. At this moment, there are eight standing in the main hall. They may know about it, or they may

They were totally unaware of it. But Zhao Yao was extremely certain that Cui Yan, the Imperial Preceptor, knew everything about it, and that Liu Qingfeng, who for some reason chose to deliberately conceal the information for a long time, was also tacitly aware of it.

Dong Hu, who had been serving in the position of Minister of Rites for many years, listened to the proceedings and set off on a familiar road. He still had many tips for participating in court meetings.

The imperial court did not invite anyone to attend this ceremony, which also shows the pride of the Dali Dynasty.

The Ministry of Rites is responsible for determining the font of the imperial seal in advance. It is definitely not possible to imitate the font of the former imperial minister Cui Chan. Even if Chen Ping'an is Cui Chan's junior brother, the Ministry of Rites will still inevitably make mistakes.

I wanted to go, but finally figured out a safer way, which is to find these words from the Seal of the Hundred Swords Immortal and the Seal of the Jianjian Immortal!

Even if the font is determined, there is still a problem for the Ministry of Rites. For example, the previous "Seal of Cui Han, the Grand Master of the Great Li" has exactly eight characters at the base, so it can be neatly matched.

The "arrangement of troops" in the newly printed bottom text gave Dong Hu and others a headache. After repeated consideration, it was best to make a fuss about the word "Zhi".

It has been hard here, and you know the ups and downs. In any case, this celebration finally ended successfully. The officials of the Ministry of Rites, big and small, felt deeply honored despite being exhausted.

Chen Pingan looked up at the caisson again.

For some reason, he always felt that there was a barrier, as if there was an invisible door between heaven and earth, and he still lacked a key.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Ping'an took something out of thin air, held the old imperial master's seal in his hand, and crushed it into powder.

I recall that back then, Cui Chan destroyed a seal on the top of a mountain, the spring seal given to his student Zhao Yao by his junior brother Qi Jingchun.

The woman on the Danbi side of the hall, Sword Immortal Zhusu, suddenly withdrew from the "retreat" temporarily.

Qi Tingji and Lu Zhi both felt a little surprised, and Xie Gou also felt confused. She would never hide her doubts in her heart, and asked in her heart: "Sister Zhu Su, what's going on? It's just a matter of time."

Yes, do it

Well, let's get out of our minds. This time the sword refining was a bit off, and the slightest difference is a huge difference. Although it won't be a complete failure, if you practice again in seclusion next time, you will get twice the result with half the effort, and waste a lot of heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

"

Zhu Su smiled bitterly and said: "Somehow, my intuition told me that I must leave my mind and stop practicing my sword."

Only Ning Yao and Xiao Mo, two people in the Fourteenth Realm, were the first to notice the vision that had nothing to do with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but was closely connected with the fate of the country and the energy of Yizhou.

Zhu Su's intuition was right, she had to do it as a last resort because she had to make way for the greater "Tao".

To insist on not giving in means... fighting for the road is far from being considered. It is like a mantis' arm blocking the road of the car. Zhu Su must avoid its sharp edge and obey the general trend.

At the third quarter of the twelfth lunar month, the Great Li morning dynasty ended, and the officials returned to their offices to work. Those who were qualified to participate in the small dynasty meeting, in twos and threes, walked to His Majesty the Emperor's imperial study together.

Those sword immortals had already left the capital in advance, and were heading to Luopo Mountain with their swords. Above the capital of Great Li, the sword energy was like a rainbow, and there was a thunderous sound in the clear blue sky.

Almost all the officials outside the palace looked up at the fairy scroll of Sword Immortal Yu Feng Qingtian, and refused to take their eyes away for a long time. I believe that when they return home tonight, they will inevitably be questioned by the younger members of the family.

After the time spent on the road, plus a short rest, at the beginning of the hour, the imperial study room gathering of the yellow and purple princes of the country began.

For some unknown reason, the new Imperial Master Chen Pingan did not accompany the emperor out of the main hall first, nor did he say goodbye to the group of his own swordsmen, but stayed alone in the main hall.

In this unusually empty hall, Chen Ping'an wandered alone, as if strolling in the courtyard of his own home. During the walk, he occasionally shook his head and jumped a few times.

In the Flower Temple, Naixin got straight to the point and said: "There is no need to discuss the apology between Baihua Paradise and Aunt Feng. If we need to fight about this, there is no need to talk about it."
