Chapter 60: Two Memorials, Yuanchu Emperor's Calculations

Shang Mansion, ancestral hall.

Shang Hongye brought Huo Yunting and others to the ancestral hall.

In the ancestral hall, there is a tablet dedicated to the lineage of King Zhenbei.

The King of Zhenbei had been away at war for many years, and the ancestral hall was left to the care of an old servant.

In front of the tablet, there is a sandalwood box.

The sandalwood box looks very ordinary, but it faintly emits a sharp sword light.

Shang Hongye's face was solemn, and she opened the wooden box with her slender jade hands.

A clang!
The sound of the sword rang out, crisp and pleasant.

It's like a clear spring flowing through everyone's heart.

Preserved in the sandalwood box is the sword that King Zhenbei wore in his early years - Ding Fengbo.

At this time, Ding Fengbo's notorious sword was covered with scars and cracks.

It seems that if it is touched, it will completely shatter.

The sword marks on these swords were left ten years ago when the Northern Barbarians came south and the King of Zhenbei fought alone against the three Barbarian Kings.

Ever since that battle, the magic charm of Ding Fengbo's sword has been completely destroyed, just like a patient who has overdrawn his energy.

Only the inextinguishable sword intent within the sword spirit can keep the sword from disintegrating.

Shang Hongye knew that Ding Fengbo's magic sword only had the power to strike one last time.

Once it is used, the magic sword Ding Fengbo will be completely reduced to ashes.

Shang Hongye's green jade fingers slid across the sword, grasped the hilt, and made up her mind.

Ding Fengbo seemed to sense Shang Hongye's determination, and the sword made a continuous sound.

Just like a veteran who has fought a hundred battles and survived, he is ready for the last battle of his life.

Holding Ding Feng Bo, he gently waved it into the air.

The void was split open by Ding Fengbo.

It took half a breath to heal it.

"Uncle San, let's go break the formation!"

Shang Hongye walked out of the ancestral hall and was about to use Ding Fengbo to break the formation.

The white mist that could not be dissolved above the plum garden actually dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing this scene, Shang Hongye showed a trace of astonishment on his face.

"This……"

"Uncle San, go check the situation."

"Got it, miss!"

Huo Yunting's figure flashed and disappeared into the plum forest.

Not long after, they encountered the Tiger Guards who entered the Plum Garden to suppress the Shintoists.

Huo Yunting learned the whole story from the Huben Army.

The Ninth Prince and Shen Qiu Shui gathered everyone and broke the famous Inverted Red Dust Formation.

Although Huo Yunting had some doubts in his heart, he had to believe this statement after repeated confirmation by the Huben Army.

"Your Highness the Ninth Prince?"

After listening to the report, Shang Hongye's beautiful eyes sparkled.

"This time, we merchants owe the Ninth Prince a great favor."

Huo Yunting shook his head after hearing this.

"Miss, what's the point of being humane?"

"We'll be a family soon anyway..."

"Uncle San, stop talking!"

Shang Hongye glared at Huo Yunting angrily, but Huo Yunting just laughed nonchalantly.

"Sister Qiushui is injured. I'm going to see her."

Shang Hongye, who couldn't stand Huo Yunting's laughter, simply made an excuse to visit Shen Qiu Shui and left.

Along the way, the entire plum garden was filled with shouts of killing and the smell of blood.

Once the Inverted Red Dust Formation is broken, nothing can withstand the sharp blade of the Tiger and Leopard Army.

All the evil spirits who stood in the way of the Tiger Guards were killed.

Facing the pursuit of the Huben Army, the Six Meridians of the Worshipful Shinto fully demonstrated their characteristics.

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.

When disaster strikes, everyone runs away, fearing that if they run too slowly, they will block the knife for other clans.

Soon, Shang Hongye left the plum garden.

After asking around, I found the outpatient clinic where Shen Qiushui was treated for his injuries.

In the side courtyard.

Shen Qiu Shui was half lying on the bed, with her skirt slightly lifted up, revealing her slender calves like lotus roots and her crystal clear lotus feet.

Fang Heng lowered his head and applied medicine to Shen Qiu Shui's calf.

Fortunately, he is not a foot fetishist, otherwise he would definitely be hissing non-stop.

Shen Qiu Shui's injuries were not serious. After taking the medicine, he recovered quickly.

"Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt! Your Highness, your technique is really good!"

"That's good!"

Fang Heng breathed a sigh of relief and was about to stand up.

However, before he could stand up, Shen Qiu Shui's voice, as light as a mosquito's buzz, rang in his ears.

"Your Highness, I still feel a little uncomfortable."

"Could you... give me... a massage..."

Shen Qiu Shui's long and beautiful eyelashes fluttered twice, and there was a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

When Fang Heng heard Shen Qiu Shui's request, his face looked a little strange, but he did not refuse.

After all, no matter how you look at it, you are the one who gets the advantage.

While massaging Shen Qiu Shui's slender calves, Fang Heng muttered to himself.

"Prime Minister Wu, don't blame me!"

"It was your daughter who took the initiative."

outside the house.

Shang Hongye happened to see this scene.

She said nothing, lowered her breath, and retreated.

In her mind, she recalled the conversation between her and Shen Qiu Shui last night.

"His Highness the Ninth Prince must be the friend who told her stories from Journey to the West."

"I didn't expect it to be like this..."

"only……"

Shang Hongye looked towards the side courtyard with a hint of apology in his eyes.

"Qiu Shui, I'm sorry!"

After Shen Qiu Shui left, she soon saw Huo Yunting coming.

Behind him, there was a eunuch following.

Shang Hongye knew this eunuch, who was the close companion of Emperor Yuanchu - Eunuch Su.

"Meet Princess Anyang!"

"Meet Eunuch Su."

"Eunuch Su, are you here on the orders of His Majesty?" Shang Hongye asked straight to the point.

"Exactly!"

"His Majesty has ordered Princess Anyang to come to the palace for an audience immediately."

Although Eunuch Su only said one sentence, Shang Hongye already understood it in his heart.

The reason why Emperor Yuanchu summoned me must be related to the Meiyuan case today.

The plum garden was attacked, and it happened to be on the day of the plum blossom viewing banquet.

It is obviously impossible without a traitor in a high position of power.

The most important thing is that they attacked during the plum blossom viewing banquet. This was a naked provocation to their Zhenbei Palace!

"Father-in-law, wait a moment."

"Hongye, go get a memorial and then go into the palace to meet His Majesty."

……

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Emperor Yuanchu was calm and dignified, and his majesty was unmistakable even without his anger.

After today's major case, it was hard to tell whether Emperor Yuanchu's square face was happy or sad.

"Your Majesty, your humble servant pays homage!" Shang Hongye knelt on one knee and paid her respects to Emperor Yuanchu.

"Give me a seat!"

After Shang Hongye sat down, he heard the low voice of Emperor Yuanchu.

"Princess Anyang, what do you think of today's Plum Garden case?"

"This servant believes that there must be a traitor, working together from within and without to allow the Six Meridians of the Divine Worship Sect to enter Yujing City so easily."

"Who do you think the traitor is?"

The low and majestic voice of Emperor Yuanchu sounded in the Yangxin Palace.

This question is a life-threatening one and is difficult to answer.

Shang Hongye thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and replied.

"My daughter doesn't know."

"However, the traitor has a very high status in the court. I think he is one of those twenty or so people."

The twenty or so people Shang Hongye mentioned were precisely the highest-ranking individuals in the Daqian court. "Since you already have a clue, I'll leave the Plum Garden case to you."

Emperor Yuanchu did not give Shang Hongye any chance to refuse. Eunuch Su on the side understood what he meant and took out the imperial edict that he had prepared long ago.

"Shang Hongye accepts the order!"

"Your servant accepts the order!"

Shang Hongye knelt down to receive the order. Emperor Yuanchu said this.

Although he knew that this case was difficult to investigate, Shang Hongye had no choice but to take over the Meiyuan case.

"Order Shang Hongye as the Imperial Commissioner for the Plum Garden case to investigate the truth. The Three Officials will assist him, and the Crown Prince and Second Prince will oversee the investigation."

After receiving the imperial edict, Shang Hongye quickly figured out Emperor Yuanchu's intention.

She was in charge of the Meiyuan case.

Three officials assisted and two princes supervised.

In terms of status, she is inferior to the three officials and the two princes.

Why did Emperor Yuanchu choose her?
Just because she is the daughter of King Zhenbei.

The foundation is in the northern border, not in Yujing.

She had been in Yujing for less than a month and had almost no connection with the various forces in Yujing.

Only someone like her, who has little involvement with any party in Yujing, can get to the bottom of this case.

Only then can all parties in Yujing feel at ease and not be afraid of being slandered or retaliated against.

In addition, with the Meiyuan case today, their Zhenbei Palace lost face.

As the heir to the Zhenbei Palace, he must regain his face.

Don’t worry about not working hard enough!

Your Majesty, what a good plan!
Everyone in Yujing City was included in the plan.

Seeing Shang Hongye standing there in a daze after receiving the imperial edict, Emperor Yuanchu urged him.

"Princess Anyang, why aren't you investigating the case yet?"

Shang Hongye came back to his senses, bowed to Emperor Yuanchu and said.

"Your Highness, I have another memorial to present to Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will approve it."

There was a hint of understanding in Emperor Yuanchu's eyes, and he gave Eunuch Su a look.

Eunuch Su walked down with a whisk in his hand and respectfully presented the memorial that Shang Hongye had prepared long ago to Emperor Yuanchu.

Your Excellency Shang Hongye respectfully reports:

I respectfully believe that Your Majesty’s holy virtue is so great that it benefits the whole world.

All the princes inherited the teachings of the royal family and possessed the appearance of dragons and phoenixes.

However, His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince has an outstanding character, great virtue and talent, and is truly a glory of the royal family. I would like to take the liberty to present his virtues and humbly seek your approval.

One is that benevolence and filial piety are natural and should be practiced to fulfill human ethics.

……

The second is to study hard to understand the truth and have a comprehensive understanding of worldly affairs.

……

The third is to sympathize with the sufferings of the people and be benevolent to all people.

……

Fourth, study agriculture in depth to improve people’s livelihood.

……

I remember that Your Majesty taught the princes the ways of self-cultivation and peace in the past. Now His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince is benevolent in cultivating himself, wise in dealing with things, and courageous in taking on responsibilities, just like the legacy of the Holy Ancestor.

I am deeply apprehensive and respectfully report this.

……

After reading the contents of the memorial, Emperor Yuanchu did not react at all, only a faint light flashed in his eyes.

There is not much useful information in Shang Hongye's memorial.

The whole article is praising the Ninth Prince.

The Ninth Prince was almost praised as a god descending from heaven, embodying the beauty of a dragon and a phoenix.

As for why Shang Hongye flattered the Ninth Prince.

Emperor Yuanchu understood it at a glance.

It was obvious that Shang Hongye had already made his choice in his heart.

Now that I have made my choice, I naturally have to explain why I chose the Ninth Prince.

This memorial praising the Ninth Prince is an expression of his own feelings.

"I'm sure!"

Shang Hongye couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Emperor Yuanchu's permission.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your permission."

After Shang Hongye left the Yangxin Palace.

Emperor Yuanchu asked suddenly.

"Is there any report from Mr. Huang?"

"Your Majesty, Mr. Huang actually submitted a memorial today."

"What does the memorial say?"

Emperor Yuanchu asked.

Mr. Huang is Fang Heng's protector, so the memorial he submitted is naturally related to Fang Heng.

Emperor Yuanchu was somewhat curious about how Fang Heng stood out among all the princes and won the favor of Shang Hongye.
He remembered the uproar in Yujing City over the sending of military orders.

Among those who delivered the military books, Fang Heng was not among them!
"Your Majesty, Master Huang said that the Ninth Prince's talent in thunder magic is unrivaled in the world. Master Huang has never seen such talent before."

"Do I need to submit a special memorial to explain this?"

"Before letting him become Heng'er's protector, shouldn't you have told him that Heng'er's talent in thunder magic is a natural talent?"

Emperor Yuanchu shook his head, seeming somewhat dissatisfied.

Since when did this old guy start to like flattering others?

"Your Majesty, Mr. Huang's memorial also states that His Highness the Ninth Prince possesses the Yimu Divine Thunder."

"Isn't it just Yi Mu...huh? Wait, what did you say?"

"Bring the memorial here."

Emperor Yuanchu suppressed the relaxed expression on his face, sat upright, took Huang Lao's memorial and read it carefully.

Heng'er mastered the Yimu Divine Thunder?
If it was the Jiamu Divine Thunder, Emperor Yuanchu would not be surprised at all.

After all, Jiamu Divine Thunder is the unique skill of Changqing Temple, so it is not surprising that Fang Heng can master it.

But the Yimu Divine Thunder is different.

Yimu Divine Thunder is the unique skill of Shenxiao Sect.

The Shenxiao Sect has nothing to do with Fang Heng and will never teach him the Yimu Divine Thunder just because he is a prince.

The only possibility is...

Fang Heng figured it out on his own.

To comprehend the Yimu Divine Thunder's level of thunder technique, this level of understanding...

hiss--

Emperor Yuanchu's expression seemed unchanged, but in fact it was like a huge rock falling into the lake of his heart, causing ripples.

Emperor Yuanchu never showed his emotions, but how could he hide his pride from Eunuch Su, who had served him for decades?

Eunuch Su hurriedly congratulated him at the right time.

"Your Highness the Ninth Prince has the appearance of a dragon and the grace of a phoenix. That is all your bloodline."

"These dragon sons and grandsons are very different from ordinary people after all."

"Hahaha!"

"You are becoming more and more talkative."

Emperor Yuanchu was in a good mood, and the bad mood caused by the Plum Garden case was swept away.

Fang Heng single-handedly realized the Yimu Divine Thunder.

He really wanted to see how interesting the expressions of those old guys from the Shenxiao Sect would be after they knew about this matter.

After reading Mr. Huang's memorial several times, he put it into the small drawer under the desk.

The joy on his face faded, his expression changed, and Emperor Yuanchu asked.

"Who do you think this traitor could be?"

"I only know how to serve Your Majesty, how can I investigate a case?"

Eunuch Su looked bitter.

Not to mention that he had no suspicions in his mind, even if he did, he wouldn't dare to say it.

After all, the traitor must be of a very high status to have allowed so many evil spirits into Yujing, and he is one of that small group of people.

If you say the wrong thing, you will offend people.

"never mind!"

"It's useless for me to ask you!"

"I just hope that it was really because of a traitor that the Plum Garden case happened."

Emperor Yuanchu frowned and sighed.

In his opinion, the traitor causing the Meiyuan case today was actually the best outcome.

If it wasn't a traitor, then the other possibility was even more sensational.

Is there something wrong with the God-Slaying Formation?
The God-Slaying Formation has protected Yujing City for ten thousand years.

If something goes wrong with the God-Slaying Formation, it would be like the sky falling.

The God-Slaying Formation sealed the divinity that had escaped after Daqian slew the evil gods for ten thousand years.

Including the Lord of Huangquan, who was from the Ghost Gate lineage and was killed by Taizu. The Lord of Huangquan's divinity was also sealed in the God-Slaying Formation.

If there is any problem with the God-Slaying Formation, it will be a major event that will shake the foundation.

"I just hope it's the traitor!"
