Chapter 217 The East Palace Mansion Takes Shape, Something Strange Happens in Wujiang Pavilion, and There Are Three Major Factions!

Royal palace, royal garden.

The man in the dragon robe was indescribably relaxed and happy, feeding the fish bait into the pond. When Eunuch Yan led the people into the garden quickly, he threw the feed to the palace maid aside and wiped his hands.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was furious today. He put all the old ministers under house arrest in Shenxin Hall, depriving them of food and drink. He also sent Yuan Xuangang and other ministers who advocated marriage to prison, threatening not to agree to his request and not leave the hall for even half a step. .”

"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince's move has aroused the dissatisfaction of many ministers. It is very outrageous. Do you want to save one or two?"

Eunuch Yan raised his head cautiously.

Emperor Yong'an was not annoyed when he heard this, but he smiled softly and said with some appreciation: "The sixth prince is quite courageous. He dared to do such a thing just after taking over the power of supervising the country. If it is other princes, they may not have this courage."

"I originally thought that with his temperament, he would be patient in the court and accumulate strength. In this way, he had to be careful. Now this makes me feel relieved. He has offended all the ministers in the court. Next Whatever you want to do, it must be difficult.”

"Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince did this on purpose? To reassure His Majesty." Eunuch Yan asked.

Emperor Yong'an said indifferently: "This is no longer important. By doing this, he has drawn a clear line with the court. It will be useless to make up for it in the future. He cut off the road to the court himself and has nothing to do with me. relation."

"If you give up the road to the court, he will not be able to escape from my grasp."

Eunuch Yan muttered: "Your Majesty, the candidates for the cabinet reorganization have almost been selected. And the term of the deputy mountain chief of Leichi Taoist Temple has almost expired. It is time to replace the manpower of other Xianjia forces to defend the Imperial Capital."

"Xu Changqing and Jingshui Zhenjun have never dealt with each other, which is not conducive to the control of Leichi Taoist Academy."

"Xu Changqing is currently in the limelight and has a large voice in the Taoist Academy. If this continues, the Tianshi Mansion's help to Lu Mingyuan will only be higher than lower."

Emperor Yong'an glanced at Eunuch Yan and said calmly: "You can tell me about this matter. I will have the result within three days."

"yes!"

While Eunuch Yan agreed, he looked at the gray hair on Emperor Yong'an's head and asked with concern: "Your Majesty, your situation seems not to be optimistic. I don't know when can we take action?"

Emperor Yong'an waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, the Great Ming Empress is at the side now, and the existence of the Six Sons can stop the offensive of the Demon Kingdom's army. The original deal between her and me was too hasty. I would have known that the Lord of the Shengming Kingdom would be so easy. If it is destroyed, it should not be let go."

Eunuch Yan also sighed and said: "Yes, who would have thought that a witch back then could actually have such abilities."

"It's okay not to mention it in the past."

Emperor Yong'an thought: "As for Yuan Xuangang being free now, he might as well rest and help me do something."

At night, Lu Mingyuan, who had moved out of the cold palace early, spent an hour shopping with his two wives and concubines, buying whatever delicious food he saw.

The East Palace has been vacant for a long time and needs to be cleaned up.

There were still a lot of things that needed to be repurchased, such as furniture. Lu Mingyuan left all these complicated things to Su Youhuai.

Su Youhuai, whom he dubbed the Wolong Talent, was born to be a housekeeper.

With a piece of paper and a pen, you can clearly count the things that Dong Palace needs.

As for the expenses, how many servants, guards, and maids needed, Su Youhuai calculated it like he was familiar with it.

Just move in at night.

All thanks to Su Youhuai who once served as the temple blessing officer of the Confucian Temple.

The duties of the temple blessing officer are similar to those of the temple blessing officials in ordinary temples, but their level is too high.

The temple blessing officer of the Confucian temple is located in the academy. He is the temple blessing officer and is responsible for counting the prayers of scholars from all over the country.

Some people wish to be admitted to high school, some wish to be blessed by saints, and some wish to be blessed by saints.

The function of praying is similar to that of Buddhist and Taoist temples that pray to gods and worship Buddha. This is also one of the sources of incense.

As for Fengchu Shen Yuanxi, Lu Mingyuan saw that he was good at military aircraft and deductions, so he asked him to go to the imperial capital to select some new forbidden troops to serve in the East Palace and serve as a guardian. As for the chief of the guard, he asked Zhou Pingfu by name. If there was any obstacle, he would use the prince's jade seal. Just stamp it.

For the first time, Lu Mingyuan stepped out of the palace in his true form and saw the colorful world and the excitement of the Imperial Capital.

There was a huge flow of people, and under the rubble with black eaves, sedans and BMWs passed through the hundreds of vertical and horizontal Baobao Square. The gentry and officials gathered together, and there was an endless flow of white horse-carved carriages.

There are lanterns like a sea, and there are flower boats on the river that passes through the capital. There are many dancers on them, swinging their waists flexibly to show off their dancing postures.

When the prince went out on the street, passers-by watched, and the Ming Deng Division guard stood aside to maintain order.

It's called protection, but it's actually surveillance.

"Quick, quick, quick! Who is His Highness the Crown Prince? Is it the one wearing the golden python robe!"

"Wow - Mom, the prince is so handsome! Many people said he was a playboy before. How could he be a bad guy if he is so good-looking?"

"Shh~ don't yell, are you ashamed?"

"I don't believe it. Don't you want to be the princess?"

Many young girls on the street, when they heard His Highness the Crown Prince's name, poked their heads out one by one to see what the Crown Prince in the crowd looked like, and they all praised Lu Mingyuan's appearance.

Lu Mingyuan seemed not to have heard anything. He led the team with his eyes straight and rubbed his brows, feeling quite tired.

Shopping is indeed more tiring than killing and fighting. This kind of tiredness is not physical, but mental.

But Qi Muxue was seen in high spirits and having a good time, holding Lu Mingyuan's hand with a sweet smile on his face.

It seems that the depression in my heart has dissipated a lot.

Huo Hongling seemed to rarely go shopping. She was speechless all the way, just looking around and picking up the novelty items on the street stalls to look at them.

Lu Mingyuan exhaled, feeling quite satisfied in his heart. As long as he could make his wife happy, it was worth being a little tired.

Before Qi Xingyan left Beijing, he had told him to spend more time with Muxue.

I feel depressed and need more comfort.

After almost finishing the shopping, he came to a luxurious Qionglou store, ordered a sumptuous dinner worth fifty taels of silver, led everyone into the private room, and ate the meal first.

After sitting down, Lu Mingyuan said to the Ming Deng Division Commander on the side: "You go and wait outside the building. My wife and I are just having a meal. You don't have anything to do here."

Seeing their indifferent looks, Lu Mingyuan chuckled and said, "Do you think that with your strength, you can beat the maid next to me?"

He pointed at Yun Qinghe beside him.

Upon seeing this, the commander of the Ming Deng Division waved his hand and stepped back outside. The diners passed by and saw the neatly-dressed Feiyu suit and the solemn Imperial Jinyi. Their faces were filled with awe. They knew that the person eating in the box must be someone. Big shot.

When Yun Qinghe saw this, he couldn't help but be speechless.

The other party was really at ease and treated her completely as a maid.

Let’s hope this guy doesn’t push himself too far.

She will not make any excessive demands as a maid.

"Your Highness, your entrustment."

The first words Ming Deng Si said after he retired were from Yun Qinghe.

She changed into regular clothes, a white plain skirt, and wore her hair in a maid bun, revealing her pink ears. She looked quite charming, and her pretty face was as crystal clear and delicate as ever.

But just as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by a questioning "hmm" from Lu Mingyuan.

Yun Qinghe said softly: "The person you entrusted me to investigate has already been cross-examined and the results have been obtained, and the confessions from the Taoist Academy have been sorted out."

"This man's name is Gongyang Hu. He was previously a member of the Jin Dynasty Prince's Palace. He was also an aide. He is a remnant of the rebel party in the Confucian Temple."

"Since the fall of Prince Jin's palace, he has been living on the streets of Kyoto. We also asked him who instigated it, but he insisted that you, Your Highness, were the real culprit behind the scenes and killed Prince Jin. We have tried all kinds of torture, but nothing happened. .”

When Qi Muxue heard this, she frowned and asked in confusion: "Why does this person always insist that her husband is the real culprit behind the scenes? It's very strange."

"This is it"

Lu Mingyuan thought for a while, how to explain.

"How do you need a reason to frame someone falsely?" Huo Hongling interjected, pursed her lips like lacquer, and said in a cold voice: "This person is not well-intentioned, and there must be others. Is it possible that there is no trace of the forces behind him?"

Yun Qinghe nodded: "Yes, there is. It seems to be because of an organization called Wujiang Pavilion."

"The Infinite Pavilion."

Qi Muxue and Huo Hongling both murmured.

"Infinite Pavilion"

For a moment, Lu Mingyuan's memories flew away.

He had been lurking in King Jin for a while, but it was too long since he entered the wild cave and his memory became too long.

Luo Ying named him the Great Protector, but he disappeared for two months.

This is unexpected.

More than two months have passed, and the clone has been silent for a long time.

I wonder what Luo Ying's situation is now, and whether he has succeeded in taking over the power of the imperial capital after the death of King Jin.

"Do you have any other information about Wujiang Pavilion?"

Lu Mingyuan looked at Yun Qinghe and said seriously.

Yun Qinghe did not expect that Lu Mingyuan would be so concerned, and thought: "I remember the Taoist monks mentioned that the Jin Palace and Wujian Pavilion have an inseparable relationship."

"This Wujiang Pavilion is a force under the Wujiang Party. It spreads all over the Middle-earth world. It is the hiding place for many demonic and evil forces. The founder is still unknown. There are seven leaders among them and they are very powerful."

"Based on the current intelligence, Prince Jin's Mansion should be the hiding place of the Imperial Palace's Wujiang Pavilion, and Prince Jin is likely to be one of the leaders."

"Now that King Jin is dead, the entire Imperial Capital Wujiange is divided into three major factions, the surrender faction, the old faction of King Jin, and the self-rescue faction."

"So complicated?" Lu Mingyuan said in surprise.

The interior of Wujiang Pavilion has actually been divided like this.

Yun Qinghe sighed and said: "Yes, the most powerful one among them should be the capitulation faction. The capitulation faction relies on other leaders and colludes with the Infernal Affairs Party of other dynasties. It is becoming stronger and stronger. The monks of the three academies are also pursuing it, but other The specific identity of the leader is unknown.”

"The old faction of King Jin was loyal to King Jin. Now it has basically collapsed. Under the siege of Leichi Taoist Academy, it has basically disappeared."

"Gongyang Hu should be an old party member of the King of Jin." Lu Mingyuan rubbed his chin and thought.

Yun Qinghe shook his head: "Even if we search for souls, there are no results. We can't find any traces. It seems that someone has deliberately blocked the secrets. Just like we searched the souls of many dead soldiers of Wujiang Pavilion, we can't know the behind-the-scenes of Wujiang Party." Who is the black hand?"

A familiar name appeared in Lu Mingyuan's mind.

It was Xun Yu who had set up a deadly trap against Lu Yunqing.

The mastermind behind Wujiang Pavilion is often referred to as Mr., and his identity is basically not revealed.

But he stayed dormant in Wujiang Pavilion for a long time and was reminded by Qi Xingyan.

It is basically certain that the person behind the scenes is Xun Yu.

Could it be that Xun Yu erased the memories in these people's minds, so his identity would not be revealed?

If that's the case.

Then this old guy is really stubborn.

"What about the self-help faction?"

Lu Mingyuan asked, only to realize that there was one more thing he hadn't mentioned.

Yun Qinghe continued to explain: "The so-called self-rescue faction is a group of people who neither seek refuge with other leaders nor are loyal to the King of Jin, but have great ambitions to unify the Wujiang Pavilion in the Imperial Capital. They do not pose much of a threat now. Half a month has passed and there has been no sound."

"Why are you asking for so much information about the Infernal Affairs Party?"

Yun Qinghe suddenly reacted and said doubtfully.

Lu Mingyuan smiled and said, "Have you discovered the characteristics of the Infernal Affairs people?"

Yun Qinghe thought about it: "Most of them are a group of guys who are anonymous and have mysterious identities. Most of them walk on the tip of a knife. Their cultivation may not be high, but they are good at doing bad things."

Gradually.

Yun Qinghe had a look of surprise on his face.

Not only her, but Qi Muxue and Huo Hongling beside her also noticed something.

"Is it possible that your husband wants to take Wujiang Pavilion under his command?" Qi Muxue said in surprise.

After she learned about Lu Mingyuan's idea, she even used sound transmission.

Lu Mingyuan replied through a faint voice: "You have also seen the current situation."

"Above the court, there are no relatives, and below the human world, there are wolves and wild dogs everywhere. Any disturbance will attract the attention of the deep palace. It is not easy to get rid of this situation."

Hearing this, all the girls fell silent.

Obviously, they did not expect this situation.

It was obviously a good situation, but it turned into a mess this morning.

In their eyes, they gradually realized something was wrong.

The matter of entering the East Palace did not seem to go as smoothly as expected.

First of all, he is an official of the Donggong Mansion. The Holy Emperor has no intention of recommending him.

No one or any court official took the initiative to ask for attention to this matter.

Your Highness, the prince, is really aggrieved.

In fact, Lu Mingyuan had this idea a long time ago.

If he were Emperor Yong'an, he would definitely not sit back and watch the East Palace Palace become powerful. From King Lu's Xinxue to Li Yan for the country, the reconciliation of the Demon Kingdom, and today's dissolution of the cabinet, he has not threatened his father in the slightest.

The civil service group and the major nobles remained largely intact. The confidants of the Three Courts and many masters in the imperial palace remained stationary.

The other party is in the dark, and I am in the light.

He didn't even know what his father's true strength was.

He doesn't have the confidence to fight yet.

His father-in-law Qi Xingyan once said that in the current dynasty, in addition to the four major enshrinements of Dayan, there are masters from the Third Academy and Da Nei. In addition, the Holy Lord also has a hidden method that is rarely used and is specially used to deal with some matters on behalf of the royal family. Negative things.

At the moment, I still have value and can maintain it for a while.

All living forces must be conquered. If you have a little, you will get more.

I went to the dentist today and came back late. I will update tomorrow.
