Evil Master and Disciple

Ye Feng has never had a good impression of the position of National Master.

This comes from the influence of film and television dramas in his previous life.

What about the National Master and the Grand Master? I always feel that they are extremely treacherous and evil people.

The imperial teacher of the dynasty was Yunxuzi, the Observer of Astronomy.

Ye Feng had heard about this person many times when he first arrived in the capital.

The Si Tian Jian, who is in charge, is the emperor's hawk claw and lackey. His biggest job every day seems not to be cultivation, but to help the emperor suppress Confucianism.

But the effect doesn't seem to be very great.

Si Tian Jian has existed for hundreds of years, and now there are more than a thousand sorcerers in Si Tian Jian.

However, the status of Confucianism in the court has never been shaken.

You can tell a thing or two from the ranking of the team today.

In fact, Ye Feng felt that His Majesty the Emperor was getting old and confused. If he wanted to suppress Confucianism, he could not only use external forces, but also had to start with Confucianism itself.

Why did Confucianism rise? Why were emperors unable to control it? It was because all the officials, both high and low, were scholars.

If you suppress Confucianism, you are making enemies with the entire bureaucratic system.

But why are all the officials in the court scholars?

There are only two words to trace the roots.

Imperial examination.

If the imperial examination system could be abolished, it would be a fatal blow to Confucianism, and would be more useful than supporting ten Sitianjian.

Ye Feng looked at Yunxuzi walking in front of all the officials, and felt a little surprised.

He had always thought that Yunxuzi was a very old man, but the Yunxuzi in front of him looked relatively young.

He was wearing a dark green Taoist robe and had a goatee, looking very much like a middle-aged Taoist priest.

"I heard that Yunxuzi is not young anymore, yet he looks so young. It seems that Yunxuzi's cultivation is extraordinary."

Ye Feng, a novice, judges a cultivator's level of cultivation based on his age and appearance.

He believes that cultivation should be proportional to these two.

When two monks of the same age stand together, the one who looks younger must have a higher level of cultivation.

Yunxuzi did not ride in a carriage. As the chief judge of the Sitianjian and the imperial teacher of the current dynasty, he was certainly qualified to ride in a carriage.

I don’t know why, but this Taoist priest likes to walk.

The number of civil and military officials is definitely more than a hundred, roughly estimated to be five or six hundred. It is estimated that all officials above the seventh rank in the capital participated in the year-end sacrifice at the Taimiao today.

Ye Feng originally planned to secretly hand the secret letter to Dean Qiu and inform him of the Demon Cult's actions tonight so that the Confucian side could prepare in advance.

Ye Feng had a plan in mind.

It's not for myself, nor is it just because I'm worried that many mortals will die in the imperial city tonight.

This plan of his has elevated his character to an unprecedented height.

For all living beings.

According to what Su Xiaoli told Lu Yunshi, the Confucian sage made three copies of the detailed map of the dragon vein array's eye to be on the safe side, one of which was kept in the jade sundial crown.

To obtain the formation diagram inside, you need the jade sundial and jade crown needle.

Now the Jade Sundial is in the hands of the Demon Cult. Tonight, the disciples of the Demon Cult will occupy the Observatory and forcibly activate the sundial crown on the Observatory to repair the broken Jade Sundial with the power of the stars.

The demon cult attacked the Jiaotai Hall in the imperial palace tonight for the Jade Crown Needle.

The dragon vein array diagram contained in the jade sundial is most likely the last one. Without the detailed array diagram, the dragon vein array eye cannot be re-sealed.

So Ye Feng wanted to take advantage of the situation and make the people from the Demon Cult empty-handed, and at the same time, lose both his wife and his army, and get the Jade Sundial from the Demon Cult.

When he came to the street, he saw that the sacrificial team was heavily guarded, and he had no way of contacting Qiu Yuanshou and others.

This made Ye Feng a little anxious.

It's already noon and it won't be dark for a few hours.

After the sacrifice in the Taimiao, the six sub-sages will go to the Main Hall to discuss state affairs with His Majesty the Emperor. The grand court meeting will last until the evening, and His Majesty the Emperor will host a banquet for these sub-sages in the palace.

If the information cannot be delivered now, it will not be delivered today.

Just when Ye Feng was feeling anxious, he saw a familiar face following the huge group of officials.

The Gu Tianshi who took him to a prostitute.

Compared with the tight defense of the team in front, the team of officials seemed very loose.

Ye Feng waved and shouted at Gu Tianshi.

Seeing this, Gu Tianshi immediately walked towards Ye Feng.

The soldier next to him wanted to stop him, but Gu Tianshi said, "My brother, just say a few words."

Seeing that Gu Tianshi's rank was not low, the soldier said, "Hurry up and catch up with the team," and did not stop him.

Gu Tianshi smiled and nodded, then walked to the street and said, "Old Ye, I haven't seen you for a few days. How did you become like this?"

"Don't even mention it. I was caught drinking with the two tigresses at home and was beaten twice in three days..."

"Haha, I heard about this last night. Old Ye, you really don't know how to appreciate your blessings. You have two beautiful girls at home, yet you still go out fooling around all day..."

"You make it sound like you don't go out fooling around... Let's not talk about that."

Ye Feng quietly slipped the secret letter into Gu Tianshi's hand and whispered, "Old Gu, deliver this letter to Dean Qiu, or any of the six sub-saints. It is urgent and there is no time to delay. It must be delivered to them today, otherwise many people will die."

When Gu Tianshi saw Ye Feng’s serious expression, the smile on his face quickly disappeared.

After having a few drinks with Ye Feng, he had more or less understood Ye Feng's character.

Normally this kid is always laughing and joking, but when Ye Feng really becomes serious, something earth-shattering must have happened.

Gu Tianshi quickly put the secret letter into his sleeve, then smiled again and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, Old Ye, I'm going to the palace to attend the court meeting first. Let's drink together after we finish these two days of work."

After saying this, Gu Tianshi rejoined the ranks of officials.

Ye Feng noticed the brief change in Gu Tianshi's expression just now.

He knew that Gu Tianshi would definitely find a chance to deliver the secret letter to the Sub-Sage, and he felt a little relieved.

The matter at hand had been dealt with, and he turned around and returned to the nearby plum garden to deal with the Hongmen Banquet set for him by Lin Yi.

When we arrived at the Plum Garden, everyone was in the courtyard.

Hong Jiu said, "Old Ye, it's almost noon now. I thought you were scared and didn't dare to accept Lin Yi's invitation."

"Hehehe, I might be timid towards others, but towards Lin Yi... I've never been timid. Lin Yi should have returned home by now. Let's go there now!"

After saying that, he looked at An Nian and said, "Are you guys going or not?"

An Nian shook her head and said, "Lin Yi's invitation doesn't include our names. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for us to go there? You three should be careful. Lin Yi is not a good person. Don't fall into his trap."

"Don't worry, everything is under control. Sanzhi'er, don't hide. I won't beat you. I'll take you to a banquet! You've definitely never had a banquet at the palace!"
