Chapter 10 Rumors of Heavenly Castration
There is an undercurrent outside, but unfortunately it has nothing to do with Zheng Yi.
The night after the assassination, he was protected by the Imperial Army all the way to the palace.
Then he was escorted back to his place of residence by several young ladies, and was immediately put under supervision.
Zheng Yi also knew those young eunuchs, they were the dead men trained by Wang Zhongyi.
Each of them looks weak, but their attacks are more ruthless than the last, they are perfect killing machines.
"This world is too dangerous, how should I deal with it?"
Zheng Yi was thinking about this problem when he was sleeping.
In my mind, the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror was still floating quietly.
"The Magical Art of White Lotus Reincarnation"!
Now he can only rely on this.
But...you need to practice dual cultivation!
And...until now, Bihe is the only one, still a little palace maid.
Even if she possesses the "White Lotus Reincarnation Divine Art", it is impossible for her to reveal it.
In the next few days, Zheng Yi still worked hard to practice the "Five Spirits Exercise" and "Changchun Gong".
Then, he discovered something strange.
Zhao Wuji, the gold medal worshiper who taught him before, disappeared and was replaced by another silver medal worshiper named Tang Jing.
Unlike Zhao Wuji, Tang Jing was about thirty years old and very talkative.
When asked about Zhao Wuji, Tang Jing shook his head and said: "What a pity. Yesterday, His Majesty was assassinated by an assassin. Mr. Zhao took the lead and died in battle."
After hearing this, Zheng Yi was also stunned.
That Zhao Wuji, who looked like a great master, was actually dead?
A few days ago, he was actually teaching me how to learn martial arts!
Thinking of this, Zheng Yi strengthened his determination to survive.
After all, every time you practice double cultivation with a woman, your life span can be increased. Isn't this the same as immortality?
With immortality in hand, he can no longer take risks!
But...can my identity allow me to continue to live on?
In the following days, Zheng Yi continued to practice martial arts under Tang Jing's guidance.
And through his deliberate friendship, he also got a lot of information from Tang Jing.
For example, the Enshrining Court was an institution established before the founding of the Yu Dynasty.
Every year, he spends a lot of money to win over people from the world and many sects, and dispatches his masters to serve in the court.
Their mission is very simple, either to protect the royal family, or to teach martial arts to the royal family members and the descendants of the clan.
This is true on the surface, but in the martial arts world, the Enshrinement Hall is known as the Imperial Eagle Dog, and its reputation is not very good.
In addition, there are three types of offerings in the courtyard: bronze, silver, and gold.
Those who have just entered the Enshrining Academy are Bronze Medal Enshrined, and their martial arts cultivation is at least around the level of a third-grade master.
Silver medals are awarded based on evaluations such as completing tasks, strength, etc., and are mostly around second-grade masters.
For example, Tang Jing was born in the Tang Clan in Shuzhou and was also a second-grade master.
As for the gold medal offering, he must be at least a first-level master in martial arts.
Grandmaster...
According to Tang Jing, there are only two masters in the enshrinement courtyard holding jade tablets!
Among the entire court, these two people only obey His Majesty's orders!
In addition, there are some court gossip, anecdotes, etc., which opened Zheng Yi's eyes.
For example, the Imperial City Division found out that the assassination a few days ago was carried out by the Binzhou frontier army.
The angry Emperor Zhengyong went into a rage at the court meeting and dismissed thirteen third-rank officials and above, including the governor of the imperial capital and the commander of the imperial army!
He even recalled part of the Longxiang Army to help Binzhou.
The Longxiang Army is His Majesty's personal army and the most elite force in the Yu Dynasty.
The battle to expand the territory and occupy Nanyue County thirty years ago was done by the Longxiang Army.
Xu Mujun, the commander-in-chief of the Longxiang Army, became famous in one battle. Now he is suppressing Nanyue County, making the old and young of Nanyue County afraid to move.
Now in order to suppress the mutiny of the Binzhou border troops, Emperor Zhengyong had to recall Xu Mujun.
"Xu Mujun is our number one military god in Dayu. His strength was already a first-class master twenty years ago. Now he is almost at the level of a grandmaster!"
Tang Jing drank the royal wine that Zheng Yi had secretly hidden and said in a very excited tone: "Maybe he is already an innate master!"
Zheng Yi also said at the side: "Innate masters...how many innate masters do we have in Dayu?"
"Well... as far as I know, the leader of Taiyi Dao should be there, and the largest organization in the world, 'Ephemeral Tower', should also be there. Otherwise, it would be impossible to survive the encirclement and suppression by several countries."
"Ephemera?"
When Zheng Yi heard the name of this organization for the first time, he couldn't help but ask: "What organization is that?"
"Hehehe..." Tang Jing said with a smile: "Mayfly Tower, as long as you have money, Mayfly Tower can get you anything!"
"You can think of it as an intelligence organization, a chamber of commerce, or even a killer organization!"
At this point, Tang Jing couldn't help but shut up, blinked and said: "As far as I know, the angry-eyed Wei Tuo Wei Yijin who assassinated His Majesty a few days ago is a protector of Mayfly Tower!"
"Hiss...that's it..."
Zheng Yi couldn't help but take a sip of imperial wine, "This ephemera tower is really weird."
In the third year of Zhengyong, it was the third day of August.
Xu Mujun personally led Longxiang's army into Binzhou.
In the first battle, Huang Fuzhi, the leader of the Binzhou rebels, was killed in battle, and 70,000 border troops were killed. The government and the public were shocked.
For a time, the memorial to impeach Xu Mujun flew into the Dayu court like snowflakes.
However, Emperor Zhengyong seemed invisible and had no reaction at all to the civil and military protests of the Manchu Dynasty. He still sent troops and food to support Xu Mujun.
He even appointed Xu Mujun as the military governor of Bin, Liang, and Jizhou, taking charge of all military power in the three states.
For a time, Xu Mujun was in the limelight, and the world looked at him with suspicion.
In just half a month, Xu Mu's army swept away the Binzhou rebels like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, and faced off with the army led by the third prince of Wu State in Tianbai Mountain.
A few days later, the battle report came.
Xu Mujun defeated the Wu Kingdom's army, killed the three first-level masters of the Wu Kingdom, and seriously injured Mo Qingshan, the master of the Wu Kingdom and the lord of Yinshan Mountain!
Later, Xu Mujun personally led the army to take back the twelve cities of Binzhou and invaded the territory of Wu State.
When the news came, the whole country celebrated and the government and the public were shocked.
Emperor Zhengyong was also excited and kept laughing in the court, his eyes were wild, and he issued several edicts in succession.
But at this moment, a piece of news that shocked the world and raised eyebrows among countless officials spread from the palace.
Today, Emperor Zhengyong, Zheng Yuanluo, who has been on the throne for three years, is a eunuch and cannot have children!
The source of this news was very secretive, but it spread throughout the entire capital at an extremely fast speed.
In just a few days, it spread to surrounding states and counties, and even several surrounding countries knew about it.
"Your Majesty is actually a eunuch? Is it true?"
"Of course it's true! His Majesty is almost thirty years old, and he still doesn't have a son or a half..."
"I heard that the ladies in the harem are all in perfect condition."
"Why did I hear that today's emperor likes masculine styles? Otherwise, why are there so many eunuchs in the palace?"
"Hey hey hey..."
Rumors spread throughout Dayu like a storm.
This matter is being discussed everywhere in the government and the public, in temples, and in the martial arts world.
Royal relatives, high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen, traffickers and pawns, almost everyone is worried, excited, or mysterious.
But even as this rumor intensified, the palace remained calm.
"Asshole!"
"Damn it!"
"Everyone deserves to die!!!"
In the Jiaotai Hall, Emperor Zhengyong suddenly pushed all the memorials on the table to the ground and said viciously: "Check! Check it for me!"
"Where did the rumors come from? Don't let everyone go!"
"Catch them all! Catch them all...!"
"Yes, yes, your Majesty! We will do it now, we will do it now!"
Under the main hall, Ma Jinwu, the commander of the Imperial City Department, wiped his sweat and quickly exited.
In all these years, he has never seen His Majesty so angry.
Could it be that...
Is that true?
After Ma Jinwu left, Emperor Zhengyong collapsed weakly to the ground like a deflated ball.
"Daban, tell me...who spread the word about this?"
