Long Lingxiu put forward a plan for marriage, which has been planned for a long time, and Eunuch Hua is not fully imagining. Long Lingxiu also takes this opportunity to bring the battlefield of fighting with Lu Zheng to Beiyan.

Long Lingxiu in the capital could not help Lu Zheng, but in Beiyan, Long Lingxiu has been in charge for so many years, and has been deeply rooted and powerful. Why should Lu Zheng compete with her?

More importantly, the Northern Yan now has Zhong’s father Ming. The third prince of Beiyan, the master who Zhong’s father Ming relies on, became the crown prince. He was at the peak of his life in Beiyan. If Long Lingxiu could bring the battlefield to Beiyan, could Lu Zheng have a slight chance of winning? At that time, Long Lingxiu could easily solve Lu Zheng’s thorn in his side.

What Long Lingxiu needs to do is to let Lu Zheng be the envoy of the bride group. To do this, she had already buried nails before, and Nie Yong is now the young minister of the Honglu Temple! Nie Yong wrote a letter to His Majesty and asked Lu Zheng to do this envoy. Then Long Lingxiu was behind the scenes, leaving Lu Zheng with no choice but to go north and fall into the gaze set by Long Lingxiu.

I have to say that Long Lingxiu is a powerful woman, and her scheming man cannot compare with her. What’s more important is that she can be cruel and make decisions at critical moments without hesitation. Just like now, she makes a quick decision when facing a crisis. This decisive decision is indeed amazing!

New Year's Eve slowly passed, and there was another discussion among the ministers in the palace. Lu Zheng was passed by the palace. Only then did he realize that the methods he had laid down finally fermented at this time. The atmosphere in Xiyuan today was extremely tense.

Because at the beginning of the matter, Emperor Xinde issued an order to lead the Minister of Rites to Kangling to supervise the construction of the imperial tomb. This order indicates that the King of Qin was temporarily removed from all the six tribes, and within at least a few months, the King of Qin would go to guard his ancestors.

The matter was obviously not over yet. Emperor Xinde's second decree was directed to the prince. He ordered the prince to go to Shandong Road to worship Mount Tai for him. Three days later, the garrison troops in the capital accompanied him, with a total of 5,000 troops.

This decree made the prince's East Palace lose control of the imperial court instantly. The prince left the capital and went from capital to Shandong for at least a thousand miles. It took at least two months to go back and forth. The disappearance of the prince's two months would have a huge impact on the situation in the capital!

The two decrees caused an uproar in the audience. Even if the prince and the cabinet ministers came forward to oppose it, the reasons for opposition were of course very sufficient.

Among them, the reason for the Left Prime Minister is the most representative. The Left Prime Minister calls Mount Tai to worship the sky, which is a major event for the country, and it must be the emperor in person. Although the crown prince is the crown prince, he is not the emperor after all. How can he perform a great ceremony for the emperor? Doing this is not only disrespectful to the heavens, but also irresponsible to the prince, making the subjects all over the world feel that the court is rude.

As soon as the left prime minister said this, responded to it. Emperor Xinde sat upright on the dragon throne, slightly closing his eyes, allowing all the ministers to say something, and I say something, he just said nothing, silent!

Suddenly, Feng Ren, the eunuch of the Sili Supervisor, walked in with his back hunched over and sent his Majesty a mansion report. The mansion report came from Huguang area and was reported to the court by the Governor of Huguang.

Emperor Xinde raised his hand and said, "Read it, let all the officials listen!"

Feng Ren immediately muttered in a sharp voice: "Huguang Road, Huguang Governor Chen Zhijing reported that the Heavenly Master Xu Tiandao entered Longhu Mountain, Jiangxi, Huguang Road on the second day of this month, and preached for three days at Longhu Mountain. The world's masters gathered in Longhu Mountain to listen to the Heavenly Master's way of unity between man and nature..."

"Wow", the audience was in an uproar, and everyone was shocked by the news! A few days ago, what happened at the banquet in the palace had already caused a sensation in the entire capital. It is said that everyone led by the eldest princess attacked Lu Zheng, but Lu Zheng led the matter to the recent rumors in the capital.

Rumors in the capital city Lu Zheng and the Heavenly Master Xu Tiandao have a close relationship and hid Xu Tiandao in the Lu Mansion privately, so that the Heavenly Master around His Majesty is absent. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this statement must come from the Princess' Mansion or the East Palace. If the Princess' Mansion and the East Palace dare to release such rumors, they must have some support or have received some information.

But now, news came from Huguang Road, saying that the Heavenly Master Xu Tiandao actually preached at Longhu Mountain. It was thousands of miles from the capital to Longhu Mountain. Could it be that Xu Tiandao is really a god and can travel thousands of miles a day? Otherwise, how could he have been in the Lu Mansion two days ago, and now he has arrived at Longhu Mountain?

Moreover, according to the memorial, Xu Tiandao has been to Longhu Mountain for more than a day, because all the big figures from the Taoist Sect gather in Longhu Mountain, which should have been deployed for many days.

In addition, even if the memorials delivered from Huguang are 800 miles in a hurry, it will take at least two days to arrive in the capital. In this way, this memorial is a memorial two days ago. How could Xu Tiandao be in Lu Mansion?

The faces of the prince, King Qin and others changed, and Long Lingxiu's expression also became extremely wonderful. Lu Zheng lowered his head, and a storm in his heart also caused a stir. He was more shocked than everyone else at the news.

Because he knew the most about Xu Tiandao's affairs in the Lu Mansion. Before entering the palace today, Lu Zheng told Xu Tiandao a story about mortal cultivating immortals! In Huguangdao's memorial, he actually said that Xu Tiandao is in Longhu Mountain?

Lu Zheng's first reaction was that the memorial was fake, but then he thought, how could Emperor Xinde cooperate with Lu Zheng to tell this lie? Besides, the memorial of the Governor of Huguang can be faked? I'm afraid even His Majesty is in a difficult position!

Lu Zheng had countless thoughts in his mind, and in the end he was sure that Xu Tiandao had the means to do this. This old charlatan was able to fool the shrewd Emperor Xinde for so many years. How could he be an easy person? This old charlatan secretly cultivated a substitute for himself!

Otherwise, he would not be able to stay in the capital, because with the personality of Emperor Xinde, someone would definitely monitor him, and the person who monitored must be in Longhu Mountain at this time, otherwise Emperor Xinde would not easily rule out the suspicion of Lu Zheng!

When Lu Zheng understood this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, lamenting that he knew some people! Everyone is a human being, none of them is a fuel-efficient lamp. Dai Gao, Xu Tiandao, Lu Changhe, these old guys, if Lu Zheng had not taken advantage of his life for two lifetimes, he would have been killed by these people!

Emperor Xinde raised his hand, Feng Ren slowly retreated, His Majesty stood up and snorted coldly: "A few days ago, there were rumors in the capital that the national master was in Lu Zheng's mansion. At that time, I thought to myself, Lu Zheng was so brave that he dared to hide my national master in the mansion. What is he going to do? Is he going to usurp the throne and change the court? Later, I thought for a while and thought that this matter was wrong. Lu Zheng shouldn't have such an idea! Those who had such a thought should be those who spread rumors. Such clumsy rumors were known to the capital. Dear officials, tell me, how much energy should this person spread rumors have?"

As Emperor Xinde said this, all the ministers fell to their knees, and all the princes fell to their knees, all of them were so scared that they were about to lose their souls!

"Your Majesty, I am guilty!" All the ministers said together. Emperor Xinde looked at Feng Ren and said, "Ben Feng, is there any news that the national master will go next stop?"

Feng Ren said: "Report to Your Majesty, after the National Master Longhu Mountain preached, he would go straight north to Shandong to preside over the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven. The National Master called the Crown Prince to go to Mount Tai for His Majesty, saying that the so-called etiquette and law are just old rules. Your Majesty sacrifices to heaven for the first time, so he asked His Majesty to go first. This is a prudent strategy. Doing so will make all parties rush to do it!"

Emperor Xinde smiled coldly and said, "Okay, the national master asked the prince to go, but our prime minister insisted on letting me go in person. Dear ministers, come and tell me, should I listen to the national master or the left prime minister? Let me tell me!"

After Emperor Xinde finished speaking, the whole audience was silent. Everyone lowered their heads, and they were so scared that they were all cold. Emperor Xinde used his old tricks, and the rumors about Xu Tiandao made him angry! He had already determined that someone despised him for his administration and wanted to rush him to go to retreat and practice quickly. Can any emperor feel comfortable in his heart when he encounters such a thing?

Emperor Xinde is not an ordinary emperor. His behavior is so cruel and determined that his will is so firm that old ministers know it! It is not an exaggeration to say that Emperor Xinde kills people without blinking!

Zuo Jie crawled on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I am guilty, I am guilty! I don't know that Your Majesty has already begun to ask Master Xu to arrange the sacrifice to the heavens of Mount Tai. He only knows how to advise Your Majesty according to the ancient etiquette. He is really obsessed with it! Please punish me for my confusion and confusion!"

Emperor Xinde said lightly: "You are old and confused. You know that you are old and confused, but you are self-aware. OK. Since you are old, can I still force others to do anything? From now on, you can follow Dai Gao's example and retire and go home. You can spend your old age at home and enjoy your grandchildren. What are your objections to this arrangement?"

Zuo Jie's whole body trembled, his heart was ashamed, but he did not dare to feel dissatisfied at all, and crawled on the ground and said, "I thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"

"Premium! Stop kneeling!" Zuo Jie Zhan Zhan stood up from the ground, and suddenly seemed to have grown ten years old. The officials around him felt sorry for seeing this scene.

Zuo Jie's mistake was not because he was speaking wrong, but because he stood behind the prince and became the prince's loyal supporter. The prime minister of the cabinet turned to the prince too early, which was obviously unacceptable for His Majesty.

After all, Your Majesty is not dead yet! Could it be that the prince couldn't help but collude with the prime minister at this time, is he going to usurp power and seize the throne?

From this perspective, Zuo Jie was not unfair at all. The remaining cabinet prime ministers were secretly grateful. Fortunately, they were cautious enough and chose to wait and see if the opportunity was wrong. Otherwise, they might have followed the footsteps of Zuo Jie today.
