Evil Master and Disciple

The emperor and empress have returned to the palace to take charge of the situation.

Now His Majesty the Emperor is furious in the imperial study.

Five districts in the capital were destroyed, most of the buildings in the southwest area of ​​the imperial city collapsed, and the palace became a fighting arena.

Never before in the past ten thousand years has such a serious and terrible thing happened in the capital.

The authority of the imperial power was trampled upon to an unprecedented extent.

However, as the current emperor, His Majesty the Emperor could only close the palace door and lose his temper at the Confucian sages and the Astronomical Mirror.

This time it was the Demon Cult that trampled on the imperial power, but he could not seek revenge on the Demon Cult.

After His Majesty had calmed down, Yunxuzi began to speak sarcastically, "Your Majesty, it has now been ascertained that the reason the Demon Cult's thousand masters suddenly attacked the palace was for the Jade Crown Needle hidden in the Jiaotai Hall.

Many days ago, I have suggested many times that the Jade Crown Needle be taken out from Jiaotai Hall to prevent any accidents.

However, Dean Qiu and others tried to stop them, saying that Confucian monks could protect the Jade Crown Needle and guard the capital.

If Dean Qiu had not been so stubborn and self-willed, this would not have happened.

Now, five districts of the capital have been destroyed, the imperial city has suffered serious losses, the Jiaotai Palace has been breached by the Demon Cult, and the Jade Crown Needle has been stolen. Most importantly, this attack by the Demon Cult has brought shame to the court and to His Majesty.

Although the incident has already happened and cannot be changed, we cannot just let it go like this and we must hold those responsible accountable.

I propose to remove Qiu Changlin from his position as the head of the Hanlin Academy."

Dean Qiu immediately nodded and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, what happened last night was caused by my fault. I am willing to resign from the position of Dean of the Hanlin Academy. I am old and want to retire to the countryside..."

His Majesty the Emperor was still angry just now, but when he heard Dean Qiu say that he wanted to resign from the position of Dean and retire to the countryside, His Majesty the Emperor immediately came to his senses.

He immediately said, "Master Qiu, you don't have to blame yourself. The Demon Cult came prepared. It has nothing to do with you, and you don't need to be responsible for it."

His Majesty the Emperor is neither foolish nor stupid.

The capital is now in chaos. As time goes by, the whole world will probably know about this soon.

At that time, Qiu Yuanshou, the foremost Confucianist, will be needed to clean up the mess.

Moreover, although the Demon Cult stole the Jade Crown Needle last night, they also suffered heavy losses under the subsequent powerful attack of the Confucianists.

Although the six sub-saints quarreled all the time, they had a very close relationship. If Dean Qiu was punished, the other five sub-saints would definitely quit.

If the Demon Cult comes back to seek revenge on the royal family because of the heavy losses they suffered last night, without the six sub-sages of Confucianism in the capital, Si Tianjian's pitiful cultivation power will not be enough to stop the Demon Cult monks.

Of course, Dean Qiu didn't really want to resign and retire.

He had just obtained the long-lost Confucian cultivation method from Ye Feng, which made it very likely that he would break through the shackles and become a Confucian saint in his lifetime.

He needs to rely on the dynasty's luck accumulated by the royal family.

Just now I was retreating in order to advance.

At this moment, after repeated requests from His Majesty the Emperor, President Qiu was forced to agree to stay and continue serving as an official.

At this time, chess master Zhuge Xuance stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the large-scale battle in the capital this time has damaged houses and palaces, but I have discovered that the dragon veins of the capital have also been severely affected by the battle."

The Emperor was stunned. "The dragon vein has been affected? My dear, what does this mean?"

Zhuge Xuance said, "During this period of time, strange things have been happening in the palace, and various unusual movements have occurred. At first, we didn't find out what these unusual movements were.

Through what happened last night, I discovered that those unusual movements were all related to the dragon vein seal.

The dragon veins of the world converge here, so successive dynasties have chosen this place as the location of their capital.

When the country was founded, the Confucian sage prevented the dragon energy from leaking out. He used his powerful strength and the sword of the state to re-seal the underground dragon veins.

Recently, the dragon vein array's eye has been showing unusual movements frequently, which is probably due to the weakening of the sealing power of the Confucian sage on the national sword.

The most urgent task now is not only to rebuild the palaces and houses destroyed in the battle, but also to immediately seal the abnormal dragon veins. If the dragon energy leaks out too much, the consequences will be disastrous."

As the emperor, the true dragon emperor, he certainly knows what dragon veins and dragon energy mean.

At this moment, the Emperor's expression changed drastically.

I thought what happened last night was serious enough, but I didn't expect there was another bigger one waiting for me.

"Lord Zhuge, are you telling the truth? Is there really a problem with the dragon vein seal?"

Zhuge Xuance nodded slowly and said, "The dragon vein concerns the country and the people. Even if I had a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to joke about it."

Some time ago, due to some personal considerations, the six sub-sages did not inform His Majesty about the unusual movements in the imperial city. They only said that some of the magic arrays and restrictions left by the Confucian sages had fallen into disrepair.

Now is a good opportunity to inform His Majesty the Emperor that the dragon vein seal is unstable.

However, Zhuge Xuance did not reveal everything.

Because the Sword of Nation has most likely been taken out of the capital by Fu Jinghong. Once this sword falls into the hands of the Yunhai Sect, Master Yun Yi will absolutely not return the Sword of Nation to the royal family. Even if these six sub-saints come forward to ask for it, Master Yun Yi will not give them face.

Therefore, Zhuge Xuance did not say that it was Lin Yi who secretly replaced the National Sword, which caused the dragon vein seal to become unstable.

This involves Lin Yi's death.

Now the disabled prince Lin Yi has reported a missing person.

It can be considered that the six sub-saints are offering help to Ye Feng to cover up the matter.

At this moment, His Majesty the Emperor learned that the dragon vein was unstable and the dragon energy began to leak out, and his mind was in great confusion.

He said anxiously, "My dear ministers, the dragon vein is damaged. What should we do?"

The zither master Nangong Qinghui stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. The matter regarding the dragon vein array's center has not yet reached the point of no return.

Now, all we need to do is find the dragon vein formation diagram left behind by the Confucian sage, and then find a pure yang and extremely strong magical instrument as a medium, and we can seal the dragon vein again."

After hearing Nangong Qinghui's words, the emperor's anxious expression finally eased a little.

He sat back on the dragon throne and said, "With the help of my dear ministers, I am relieved. Other matters can be put aside. The matter of the dragon vein must not be delayed. It must be sealed as soon as possible to prevent the dragon energy from leaking out."

Several sub-sages said in unison: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, we will do our best."

Yunxuzi was a little dumbfounded at this moment.

He was also thinking of taking advantage of the attack on the capital and the incident of the lost jade crown needle to let His Majesty punish these sub-saints.

Unexpectedly, another dragon vein leakage incident occurred.

Now His Majesty still has to rely on the Confucian sages to help him reseal the dragon vein, and it is even more impossible to punish Qiu Yuanshou and others.
