Chapter 36 Asking the Sky
There were also four guards surrounding him.
He was dressed in a brocade robe and had a vigorous demeanor. He was standing practicing with his eyes closed, showing his diligence.
Hearing the noise, he opened his eyes and faced Chu Zhiyuan.
The two groups met, the guards dispersed, and the two walked side by side.
"Fourth brother, we have received orders from the Supervision Department. Just go and find Chief Leng Nanfeng Leng."
"Thank you, Third Brother."
"Why are you being polite to me? You don't need me to accompany you, right?"
"Third brother, please be busy. I'll go there by myself in the afternoon."
"If you want to know, just tell Chief Leng, he will try his best to satisfy you. He has already received the oral instructions from the emperor's grandfather."
"Okay."
The two parted ways on the bustling street, and each returned to their respective palaces surrounded by guards.
After Chu Zhiyuan returned to the palace, he saw Chu Yi's expression of despair, like an eggplant beaten by frost, completely wilted.
He smiled and took out a small purple box from his sleeve and handed it to Chu Yi.
Chu Yi took it and opened it doubtfully, and found that there was a black and white seed in the box, and she suddenly became energetic again.
Chu Zhiyuan discovered that Bai Ningshuang began to change her previous plain decoration and got some bright jewelry, making her already beautiful look as luxurious as a fairy concubine.
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head secretly.
Although he has shown sufficient qualifications, the time is still short and the effect of this qualification has not been truly demonstrated.
Therefore, it failed to fundamentally change their thinking and failed to bring enough confidence.
During lunch, Bai Ningshuang muttered a few words, saying that he didn't go back to the palace to sleep last night, so he must not fool around outside, and he couldn't sleep in flowers and willows.
He said he was practicing martial arts outside, but he was at a young age, so he might have been deceived by Hu Meizi accidentally.
Chu Zhiyuan nodded from time to time, ignoring it.
After taking a nap, I went to the Supervision Department.
The Supervision Department has a low reputation in the martial arts world, and the people in Dajing know very little about it, and most of them have never even heard of it. However, it is well known and feared by court officials.
The responsibility of the Supervision Department is to monitor the world.
Common people know that the people who restrict the court officials are the censors who hear the news, but they don't know that it is the Supervision Department that really scares the court officials.
The Inspection Department’s eyes and ears are everywhere and impossible to guard against.
Not only to supervise the officials of the world, but also to suppress the military affairs. The most important responsibility is outside the court, in Dameng, Dazhen, and other small countries. The ears and eyes are everywhere.
The Supervision Department is located to the west of Tianbaosi, not far from the Ministry of Rites.
When he arrived at the Supervision Department, he was blocked by a cold-faced guard at the door. He announced his name and passed it inside. Soon a middle-aged man with a horse face came out.
The long and narrow face has pits and pits, and the eyes are not big but are shining brightly. There is a smile on the face, and he is very enthusiastic: "Your Majesty, little Ma Tianhe, if you are far away, please come in quickly."
"Master Ma, thank you for your work." Chu Zhiyuan cupped his fists and smiled.
"It is a great honor to serve the prince."
"Master Leng, he...?"
"Unfortunately, the boss happened to be away on official business. Before leaving, he specifically asked me to do my best. The boss has already sent a message, allowing the prince to check it."
"Well, then there is Lord Lao Ma." Chu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded.
Leng Nanfeng, the boss, might not want to see him, or of course, it might be that something happened to happen. He was so confused that he could only believe it without going into details.
Guo Chi stayed outside the Yamen, while Zou Fang followed him like a shadow.
Ma Tianhe knew the rules of the prince and the prince, and the eunuch was always with him, almost never leaving, so he pretended that he could not see him and led Chu Zhiyuan into the gate, turned around the screen wall, passed through two open courtyards, and finally came We arrived at a room in the third courtyard.
Inside the room are rows and rows of bookshelves filled with files.
Ma Tianhe pointed to a bookshelf and said with a smile: "Master Shizi, here are all the files on Wentianya."
He took down the nine boxes of files from the bookshelf next to him and put them on the table under the window: "These are all Cheng Tianfeng's files."
Chu Zhiyuan nodded and said with a smile: "So many people ask Tianya?"
"These are just records from the past hundred years." Ma Tianhe said with a smile.
Chu Zhiyuan frowned.
If I were Dazhen, I would never allow such a powerful sect to exist. I would have already found a way to dismantle Wentian Cliff.
But I don’t know much about Wentianya yet, I’ll talk about it after reading it.
"Let me take a look first." Chu Zhiyuan was not in a hurry to look at Cheng Tianfeng's information. He first looked at Wentianya's: "Do you have any structural information about Wentianya?"
"Yes." Ma Tianhe walked to the shelf and quickly took out a volume and handed it to Chu Zhiyuan.
Chu Zhiyuan quickly looked through it.
He reads extremely fast, and can imprint ten lines at a glance into his mind, and at the same time he begins to analyze what he sees.
After reading it, he asked for information about the past cliff masters of Wentian Cliff, and then other information.
Ma Tianhe knew this shelf of information very well. Whatever Chu Zhiyuan was looking for, he could take it out right away. This was of great help to Chu Zhiyuan.
Although he queued up to read them one by one and was able to sort them out in his mind after finally finishing them, it was far from that efficient.
In the evening, when dusk was rising, he finally read all the files.
Ma Tianhe has always maintained respect and diligence.
Chu Zhiyuan saw that he was an ambitious man, and if he had enough backing, he would have a bright future.
"Master Ma, has anyone else come to read these recently?"
"...As far as the villain knows, there is none. The prince is the first. These are top secrets and outsiders are not qualified to read them."
"Will it be given to the general on the northwest border?"
"These are top-secret files of the third grade. A copy will be copied to the Zhenbei General's Mansion, but only the general can see it and cannot be leaked."
"Except General Zhenbei, no one else can see it?"
"Yes."
Chu Zhiyuan was thoughtful.
Through these files, what he saw of Wentian Cliff was indeed astonishing.
The inheritance of Wentianya lasts for more than a thousand years, but there are only a dozen people in Wentianya, and they live on Wentianya all year round without ever leaving the mountain.
But Wen Tianya's influence is huge.
Every cliff master is a Dazhen national master, and several disciples of the Dazhen royal family of each generation worship at Wentian Cliff.
He was amazed.
The strongest in the Great Jing Dynasty were the four great sects. The disciples of the four great sects entered the Zhenwu Department and the Supervisory Department, and the great masters entered the imperial court to worship them.
But if the four major sects are tied together, Tianya may not have much influence in Dazhen.
This influence was a direct influence on the emperor and the royal family, and even a direct influence on the emperor's power.
Emperor Dajing would never allow such a sect to exist.
The emperors of the Dazhen Dynasty were also wise masters, but they could allow Wentianya to have such a transcendent status, or maybe Wentianya was so powerful that it was beyond imagination, or it was for other reasons.
This Cheng Tianfeng is a close disciple of the Imperial Master. He has been practicing in seclusion at Wentian Cliff and rarely goes down the mountain. The Supervision Department assessed that he should be at the Eight Layer Tower level.
In addition, the Supervision Department could not figure out what martial arts Cheng Tianfeng practiced and what methods he used.
This time Cheng Tianfeng went out in person, one to challenge the crown prince of the Great Jing Dynasty, and the other to find the crown prince's concubine.
Obviously he is the candidate for marriage.
Chu Zhiyuan stood up and walked around with his hands behind his back, his expression solemn.
Cheng Tianfeng is not easy to deal with this time, and he will definitely lose to him if he is not good enough.
So many files record questions about Tianya's deeds and how Tianya's disciples punished evil and how they helped the court.
There is also the achievements and actions of Wentianya's disciples, including the royal disciples he has accepted.
As for Wentianya's inheritance and martial arts, there is no useful information.
It's really weird that it has such a long heritage and can still remain so mysterious.
He looked at Ma Tianhe: "There is no useful information about Wentianya's martial arts?"
Ma Tianhe smiled bitterly: "The disciples of Wentianya are not as good as the master and do not enter the secular world. Moreover, Wentianya has a very high prestige in Dazhen. Whenever we encounter Wentianya disciples, they often surrender without a fight."
"...Are there any other files on Wentianya?"
"The earlier files are sealed in Tongtenkaku."
"Does Chief Leng have the right to review it?"
"Yes."
"Then please Chief Leng find someone to find all the files on Wentianya's martial arts. I will come over tomorrow to take a look."
"...Yes."
——
The next morning, after finishing the meal, Chu Zhiyuan came to the Supervision Department, and Ma Tianhe came out to greet him enthusiastically.
"Master Ma, is Chief Leng still busy today?"
"...Yes, Director Leng has been busy with important matters these days and has been outside."
"Okay." Chu Zhiyuan nodded.
This is to avoid suspicion and not to keep a low profile, which is understandable.
He came to the room, looked through the thirty selected files, and shook his head.
Finally found some vague records of Wentianya's martial arts.
