Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

Song Xuan asked, "Dad, do you have any advice for the Xuanyi Guards? For example, who needs to be dealt with, and who needs to be promoted?"

Song Yuanshan shook his head, "I'm just an idler, I don't know much about what's going on in the government office.

But as the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

The Xuanyiwei is a behemoth. In addition to us, the Xuanyiwei families, the Xuanyiwei recruited from the people and the underworld are an even larger group.

These groups represent the interests of various classes and have various demands. You need to figure out how to balance the relationship between them on your own.

The imperial capital is different from the outside world. You can kill the local noble families at will, but the powerful people in the imperial capital are connected to too many forces. You never know who has a great master behind them.

You don’t need to give face to ordinary people, but you still have to give face to the grand master.

If you want to deal with someone, try to do it within the rules of the officialdom, use real evidence, and try to avoid framing or anything like that."

Song Xuan nodded. He also knew that in the imperial capital, unless he was already a perfect grandmaster, it would be difficult for him to act as recklessly as he did in the local areas.

"By the way, where's Victoria Song?"

Song Xuan was a little curious. He hadn't seen Erni for a long time. Could it be that she had gone out to claim the throne and become her big sister?

"I've been staying in the house all day. I want to think about some life philosophy."

Song Yuanshan talked about this with a helpless smile, "I don't understand her thoughts now. She grew up with you since she was a child. You can ask her what philosophy she is thinking about.

It's really rare for her to stay in the house alone without anyone supervising her, considering her personality!"

Song Xuan suddenly became interested. Er Ni was pondering the philosophy of life. Could it be that she had touched the threshold of the Grand Master?

It hasn't been long since she broke through to the Grandmaster level. Even if she is called the Girl of Destiny, isn't it a bit too exaggerated?

Arriving outside Song Qian's door, Song Xuan knocked on the door, "Song Erni, come out for dinner!"

Inside the room, Victoria Song's voice was a little dull, as if she was in an abnormal mood, "I'm not hungry, you guys eat!"

squeak~

Song Xuan pushed the door open and walked in.

But Song Qian was sitting at the table, with her hands on her chin, looking thoughtful. When she saw Song Xuan come in, she just glanced at him and remained indifferent.

"What are you thinking about, so seriously?"

Victoria Song rubbed her forehead and suddenly said, "Brother, what do you think is the most important thing for a person?"

Song Xuan pondered for a moment and asked tentatively, "Sincerely?"

"No, I mean, what is the essence of a person? Is it the body or the soul?"

Song Xuan frowned, "Why are you suddenly thinking about this question?"

"Nothing." Victoria Song yawned, a little listless, "I just wrote it down as I felt."

Song Xuan tilted his head and looked at her carefully. "Did you hear my conversation with my father today?"

Victoria Song hummed, "You guys didn't mean to hide it. With my ability, isn't it normal for me to hear it?"

Song Xuan chuckled, "So, what are you thinking about? My soul wasn't born from an abortion, so I can't be your brother, Song Qian?"

"That's not what I meant." Victoria Song was a little flustered.

"We're just going out to eat. Why are you thinking about nonsense all day? Even if I am the Devil from Outer Realm, I am still your brother. It would only take me a few minutes to control you!"

As he said that, he grabbed Song Qian by the scruff of her neck and dragged her out of the room.

With fate held by the scruff of the neck, Victoria Song's philosophical thinking about life was constantly interrupted, and Erha's temperament once again took the upper hand in terms of IQ, baring its fangs and claws like a husky.

......

After dinner, the family chatted in the yard.

Although it was winter, the cultivation of several people was quite good. Even Xiaolongnu, the youngest and with the lowest cultivation, did not feel the cold at all despite wearing a thick cotton jacket.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the courtyard gate, accompanied by the sound of horse hooves, and the gate was opened from the outside.

"The imperial edict has arrived, Song family's daughter Song Qian is here to receive it!"

Outside the door, a young man with a white face and no beard, dressed as a eunuch, strode in, surrounded by several royal guards.

It can be seen that this young eunuch has never left the palace on weekdays. At this moment, he has a rare opportunity to announce the imperial edict. His arrogant look with his nose in the air shows his arrogant attitude to the fullest.

At this moment, he glanced at everyone in the yard, pinched his fingers together, and his gaze fell on Li Mochou, and a shrill voice came out of his mouth.

"Song Qian, why don't you kneel down and accept my order?"

Chapter 334 I gave you a chance but you are useless!

Li Mochou: "...Do I look like my master?"

It’s not that she looks similar to Song Qian, but mainly because as a perfect master, even if Song Qian didn’t emit any aura, the eunuch who delivered the order still subconsciously ignored her.

Instinctively, I felt that the person easiest to offend was Li Mochou.

This young eunuch had been castrated and entered the palace since he was young. In his impression, the most powerful person in the world was the emperor, and he had no idea what the status of the Song family was.

At this moment, he stared at Li Mochou, his defiant look making him look like he was asking for a beating, "The imperial edict has arrived, why don't you guys quickly accept it?

Be careful, I will report you to the palace and have your entire Song family executed!"

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Song Yuanshan with some anticipation.

He could tell that this middle-aged man should be the head of the Song family.

Logically speaking, now that I have said this, according to the experience passed down by other eunuchs in the palace, as long as the person who received the order is not stupid, he should come to give me money.

As a man without any roots, he has no fun in playing with women in this life. The only hobby he has left is making money.

Song Yuanshan didn't move. Song Qian was stuffing an orange in her mouth. Seeing Li Mochou looking at her, she muttered, "Why are you looking at me? Can't you see I'm busy?"

What does it have to do with Song Qian, the one who works as a cook?

With her father and brother at home, why would a weak woman like her need to step forward at a time like this?

Song Xuan raised his arm and opened his palm. The next moment, the imperial edict in the little eunuch's hand flew out and suddenly fell into Song Xuan's hand.

He casually opened the imperial edict, and he already had an idea in his mind that the emperor was most likely here to grant Song Qian a marriage.

This old guy is dying, but he still has to come and disgust him.

After opening the imperial edict, Song Xuan's face showed a rare hint of anger.

Although he killed many people, he rarely got angry. This time, he was really angry.

That old thing, the imperial edict was not to marry Song Qian to the Crown Prince Ji Xuanfeng, but to summon Song Qian into the palace to be his concubine!

Victoria Song took a quick glance and said, "Oh no, you want to take me as your concubine?"

At the door, the young eunuch looked confused and uncertain. He stared at Song Qian and asked, "You are Song Qian? Why don't you accept the decree and thank the emperor, and then return to the palace with me to see him?"

"Meet the Saint, which Saint?"

"Of course I am the Emperor of the Great Zhou!"

"Son of Heaven?" Victoria Song peeled an orange and chuckled, imitating her older brother's demeanor. "Give him face and call him Son of Heaven. If you don't, just bury him!"

"How dare you! Are you, the Song family, going to rebel?!"

The young eunuch was shocked and angry.

What did he see?

The first time you left the palace to announce an imperial decree, you encountered a rebel?

Behind him, several royal guards exchanged glances. The leader clasped his fists and saluted Song Xuan, "Commander-in-Chief, we are only following orders and have no intention of offending you."

"Oh? Do you recognize me?"

The head guard said hurriedly, "Your Excellency and Master Ye are entering the palace today, and I happened to be ordered to guard the palace gate. It was I who opened the palace gate for you."

"In that case, I won't make things difficult for you. You can leave now." Song Xuan's gaze finally fell on the young eunuch who looked terrified and at a loss. "As for him..."

His eyes turned slightly cold, and the next moment, a ball of red flame rose from the little eunuch's body out of thin air. The fire did not seem strong, but it was burning from the inside out. The other party did not even make a scream, and after a few breaths, he turned into a pool of ashes.

"It's dry weather, so spontaneous human combustion is a very normal phenomenon." Song Xuan waved his hand at the frightened guards, "Alright, every wrong has its perpetrator, and I won't make it difficult for you. Disperse!"

"Thank you, Commander!"

The head guard felt relieved, and after a few people kowtowed, they retreated in panic.

After they left, Song Yuanshan stood up and said, "I'm going to the palace."

After reading the contents of the imperial edict, he was also really angry, "My stupidity is coming on!"

"I'd better go!"

Song Xuan took the lead and said, "Once you go, the other Grandmasters will have to show up. Even that fool Tianzi is not qualified enough to cause a Grandmaster to show up!"

Song Yuanshan nodded. Compared to him, Song Xuan was more convenient to take action.

It is actually easier for the younger generations to resolve conflicts below the level of Grandmaster among themselves.

At this time, Victoria Song suddenly spoke up, "Brother, just control it first. It won't be too late to bury it after your wedding! Of course, if you don't plan to get married, this is a good opportunity."

Song Xuan looked at Song Qian in surprise.

This girl has been thinking about the philosophy of life in her room for a whole day. Is she starting to grow her brain?

Did they even consider that it would be inconvenient to get married during the period of national mourning after the emperor's death?

When did she start considering things in such detail?

.....

After deciding his father's fate with Song Xuan in a few words by the river, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he looked at his empty bucket and continued fishing.

At least, fill the empty bucket first.

Fisherman, you must not come back empty-handed!

When the sky darkened, a sneer appeared on his lips. He put away his fishing rod and slowly said to the people around him, "Now that I'm here, if you don't show up, I'm leaving!"

As soon as he finished speaking, seven or eight afterimages appeared around him.

Each of them was surrounded by the power of heaven and earth, and the aura of a martial arts master emanated unreservedly, surrounding Ji Xuanfeng.

"Are you the power that Father has cultivated over the years?"

Ji Xuanfeng looked at the group with interest. "Eight top-level Grandmasters. It seems that Father has made considerable efforts over the years. He must have put in a lot of effort to win you over, right?"

The leading man in black clasped his fists and said, "Commander of the Jinyiwei of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Luo Chen, greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

His voice was icy cold, devoid of any human emotion. "By the order of the Son of Heaven, I escort His Highness to heaven."

"Do it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw his body shaking, his clothes tore through the air, the power in his palm contained great power, and he punched towards Ji Xuanfeng.

At the same time, the other people moved at the same time. In an instant, streams of energy roared, and the flashes of swords and shadows seemed to turn into a net that trapped Ji Xuanfeng in it.

"It seems my father has not told you what my strength is!"

Ji Xuanfeng looked calm and relaxed, with no sense of being surrounded. Instead, it seemed as if he was the only one surrounding the other party.

With a sneer, he moved in the next moment, and the whole person seemed to turn into a ray of lightning. There were several tearing sounds, and then, in the air, several charred corpses that were torn into pieces fell to the ground.

He didn't even look at the corpse on the ground, but turned to look in the direction of the palace.

"I gave you a chance, but you're useless! If that's the case, don't wait ten days. Abdicate today!"

Chapter 335 Follow me to court and issue the decree to pass on the throne!

Outside the palace, Song Xuan and Ji Xuanfeng met.

After a brief eye contact, the two basically understood each other's intentions.

After a short silence, Ji Xuanfeng spoke first, "At the riverside, my foolish father sent eight top masters to surround and kill me."

Song Xuan raised the corner of his mouth, "Then he has emptied out all his family's wealth this time."

Ji Xuanfeng hummed, "What about you? Didn't you remind me to wait until after your wedding before taking action? What's your reason this time?"

"The emperor has just issued an edict to take my sister into the palace as a concubine."

Ji Xuanfeng, who had always been calm, twitched his mouth twice at this moment, and had a clearer understanding of his father's ability to seek death.
