In the palace, Zheng Yi hugged Master Yu Heng, who was still wearing a torn Taoist robe. His tender white skin shone with an inexplicable luster under the light.
After looking at the handwriting that appeared on the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror, I was filled with excitement.
really!
This Zhuang Yuheng is indeed a monk!
And he’s also a Three Spiritual Roots cultivator!
Compared with Cui Xiabing and Yuechan, although her qualifications are not comparable, the rewards obtained from her far exceed Cui Xiabing and Yuechan.
Not only are there "Changchun Kung" and "Seven Star Sword Technique", but also "Vibrant Zixia Kung"!
Zhao Xizheng's extremely precious cultivation technique came into his own hands so easily.
Unfortunately, there is not all the content of "Vigor and Purple Cloud Gong", but it is better than nothing.
There are also metallic spiritual roots!
Master Yuheng has a metallic spiritual root, which he also obtained after practicing dual cultivation.
Now among the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth, he has obtained the four elements of metal, wood, water and earth. He only needs the last attribute of fire to reach the perfection of the five elements.
He learned from Cui Xiabing that when a monk practices, the fewer spiritual root attributes the better, and it is best to only have a single attribute.
Spiritual roots with a single attribute are all considered top-grade spiritual roots, and their cultivation speed is several times that of other multi-attribute spiritual roots!
But this kind of restriction is nothing to Zheng Yi.
He has the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror and can extract spiritual root qualifications from female cultivators without limit.
As long as there are more female cultivators who practice dual cultivation, he can obtain a large number of corresponding spiritual root qualifications.
Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, and sooner or later the Five Elements Spiritual Roots will reach the top level, even Heavenly Spiritual Roots!
And unlike other concubines, Master Yuheng's behavior when sleeping was really... unfamiliar!
In other words, very indifferent.
At first, no matter how much Zheng Yi forced her, she looked calm and relaxed. At most, she could only grit her teeth and endure it.
Until the end, Yinya, who had been holding back, gently let go, like a cuckoo crying blood.
Especially her Taoist robe is even more charming.
This strange feeling made Zheng Yi very curious.
And under Zheng Yi's love words, Zhuang Yuheng also opened his heart and told some things about her.
Almost two years ago, she was accepted as a disciple by Zhao Xizheng, who was released from the barrier, and taught the first three levels of "Vigor and Purple Cloud Gong".
Then he threw her directly to the palace.
After that, he ignored her and allowed her to practice on her own. Only Zhao Suling came to visit her occasionally.
In the past two years, she has been practicing the "Vigor and Purple Cloud Gong" day by day. In just two years, she has reached the second level of Qi training.
It wasn't until Zhao Suling came to see her a few months ago that she learned that the exercises she practiced were actually cultivation methods, which made her extremely surprised.
Zheng Yi guessed that this might be Zhao Xizheng's way of prevaricating himself, or as a kind of 'exchange'.
He gave Zheng Yi a concubine who could practice cultivation, and Zheng Yi also gave Taiyi various privileges accordingly.
Zhuang Yuheng may still not know that although she is Zhao Xizheng's disciple, she is already just a pawn used for trading.
There must be a real monk among Tai Dao.
That is, Zhao Xizheng’s real disciple!
Zheng Yi touched Zhuang Yuheng's forehead lovingly. She was also a pitiful person.
"Um...Your Majesty?"
In a daze, Zhuang Yuheng woke up and glanced at Zheng Yi sheepishly.
"What is my concubine thinking?"
"I am thinking that the relationship between men and women is so... wonderful?"
Zhuang Yuheng was new to personnel affairs and looked a little embarrassed.
Zheng Yi said: "The matter between husband and wife is the master of human relations, so why hide it?"
"Don't worry, my beloved concubine, I will let you enjoy the most beautiful feeling in the world from now on."
"Thank you, Your Majesty~"
Zheng Yi said: "By the way, my beloved concubine, is there any follow-up method for the "Vibrant Zixia Gong" that you have practiced?"
Zhuang Yuheng shook his head and said: "Master only gave me the first three levels of the Vibrant Purple Cloud Technique, and he once said that it would be enough to last me ten years."
She said sheepishly: "Perhaps His Majesty had to do this because he saw that my concubine is not qualified."
Zheng Yi hugged Zhuang Yuheng again and said: "Don't worry, my beloved, one day, I will bring you the full set of "Vigor and Purple Cloud Kung Fu"!"
"Thank you so much, Your Majesty~"
Zhuang Yuheng twisted his body and gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, can I go wash up and change into clean and fresh clothes?"
"Wash?"
Zheng Yi's eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "I just happen to feel a little uncomfortable. Let's go, I'll take a shower with my beloved concubine!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
"What's wrong?"
"You, you are really a fool!"
"Hahaha... If you are a fool, then you are a fool. Let's go, my dear concubine!"
"Ah...!"
A few days later, news came from Chen Zhong and Chen Yi who were far away in Yongzhou that Tian Wenjing, the commander-in-chief of the Yongzhou Grand Canal, had been found.
Moreover, Wang Anshi's report about Tian Wenjing's accepting bribes, purchasing houses in other places, and hiding women secretly were all clearly investigated.
The real situation is far more serious than what Wang Anshi said.
After the Yongzhou Grand Canal Rebellion broke out, he fled for his life in a panic and fled all the way to the Shiheilang Army.
As a minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he was treated well in the army, and he won over officials at all levels in Yongzhou, hoping to blame Lu Lian and others for the Yongzhou Grand Canal corvee rebellion.
Under Zheng Yi's secret instructions, an anti-corruption incident on the Yongzhou Grand Canal was gradually exposed.
Above the great dynasty. "If there is something to do, we will start to act, but if there is nothing to do, we will retreat!"
"My lord, Yuan Qichang, the censor of the Inspectorate, has something to report!"
Lu Xiangqing, the chief minister of the cabinet and the censor of Zuodu, glanced at Yuan Qichang strangely. He had not secretly given any instructions to start a report. Why did someone in his own department want to report it?
The other officials also glanced at Yuan Qichang in surprise, and then looked at Lu Xiangqing.
Zheng Yi asked: "Yuan Qichang, what's the matter with you?"
Yuan Qichang was a Jinshi in the thirty-sixth year of Tianqi's reign. He was jealous of others and thought he was aloof. During his more than 20 years as an official, he offended countless colleagues and was suppressed by countless officials.
However, this person was indeed incorruptible, and the other political opponents could not find any excuses, so they had no choice but to squeeze him out to the Inspectorate and serve as the censor.
Under the double investigation of Jin Yiwei and Shadow Guard, Zheng Yi appointed him as a member of the Imperial Party.
I sent people to contact me and secretly tested me for about half a year. Although I was a bit jealous, there was no big problem.
After careful consideration, he was admitted as a member of the Imperial Party three months ago.
There were more than ten other officials who entered the imperial party at the same time as him.
They are all officials who have been squeezed out by the ministers of the DPRK and are depressed and frustrated, or they are officials who are dedicated to serving the people and inspiring to achieve success.
These officials are all capable and ambitious, but they have been suppressed for many years due to various reasons. Most of their official positions are below the fifth rank, and they have no voice at all in the court.
Among them were Wang Anshi and Yuan Qichang in front of him.
Yuan Qichang knelt down and said: "I am impeaching Tian Wenjing, the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the commander-in-chief of the Yongzhou Grand Canal, for accepting bribes from local businessmen, attacking dissidents, privately purchasing land and real estate in any place, and enriching his own pockets. He is the culprit of this Yongzhou corvee rebellion!" < br>
"Wow...!"
As soon as Yuan Qichang finished speaking, many officials started talking about it like a vegetable market.
Who is Tian Wenjing?
That is the famous man in front of His Majesty.
A few years ago, He Wu Guo stood on the side of the main battle when it came to war or surrender, and gained His Majesty's favor.
Because her sister entered the harem, she was named a concubine and was favored by His Majesty.
As for himself, in addition to his position as Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he also served as the commander-in-chief of the national policy of the Yongzhou Grand Canal.
It is conceivable that if he completes the construction of the Grand Canal, he will definitely become one of the six ministers, and may even enter the cabinet and become one of the cabinet elders.
In particular, Xu Mujun also serves as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, but he is far away in Mangzhou, so Tian Wenjing has always been in charge of the Ministry of Personnel.
In other words, Tian Wenjing is also the number one person in the official department today.
For such a person, it is really audacious that someone wants to read a book about him now.
Zheng Yi asked: "Is there any evidence?"
"Yes!"
Yuan Qichang held out a thick account book with both hands and said: "This account book contains the list of all those who bribed Tian Wenjing, as well as the list and account book of Tian Wenjing's bribes to the ministers of the DPRK!"
"In addition, there are addresses, documents, etc. that Tian Wenjing purchased a large amount of land and real estate in Yongbin and Yongbin."
"If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can send a royal guard to check it out, and you will know soon!"
Zheng Yi waved, and Liu Chengen quickly stepped forward and held him up.
"Your Majesty, please take a look."
Zheng Yi flipped through it casually, his eyes getting uglier and uglier, and he suddenly pushed the ledgers to the ground.
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
A large number of officials knelt down with different expressions.
"Lu Xiangqing!"
"I'm here!"
"This is the capable official recommended to me by the cabinet? There are tens of millions of taels of silver. Such a big project was entrusted to him. He did not want to make progress and be loyal to the country. He actually enriched his own pocket and embezzled more than five million taels! ”
Zheng Yi said angrily: "That's all. What Tian Wenjing did actually triggered a rebellion of millions of corvees in Yongzhou. You deserve to die!"
"I am terrified!"
Lu Xiangqing knelt down and said, now he has nothing to distinguish.
Although Tian Wenjing's appointment as the commander-in-chief of the Yongzhou Grand Canal was approved by His Majesty, as the chief minister of the cabinet, he was not just wiping his Majesty's butt.
He immediately said: "Your Majesty, the case of Tian Wenjing's embezzlement has not been finalized yet. The first thing to do now is to send capable people to Yongzhou to investigate the case, and at the same time, bring Tian Wenjing to justice and keep him under intensive custody!"
Zheng Yi nodded and said: "Ai Qing, do you have any recommendations?"
Lu Xiangqing thought quickly in his mind and said immediately: "Master Li Yuanhao, the minister of Dali Temple, can be the chief official of this case!"
Dali Temple was already in charge of the trial of prison cases, so it was natural to take charge of the case.
Li Yuanhao, the Minister of Dali Temple who was on the side of the cabinet, immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to take charge of this case."
"Okay!"
Zheng Yi said: "Then let one person from Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Supervisory Office each investigate this case. The three law departments will conduct a joint trial. I must give a clear trial."
"No!"
"Yuan Qichang, Wang Anshi!"
"Wei Chen is here."
The two of them came out one after another and saluted respectfully.
"You two can be deputy judges and participate in it."
"No!"
The expressions of several cabinet ministers changed slightly, and they didn't know what they were thinking.
"Now there are vacancies for the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Personnel. Who can you recommend?"
After Zheng Yi finished speaking, the thoughts of several cabinet ministers quickly turned around.
Tian Wenjing is dead, what he should do now is to cut off all ties with him.
And what His Majesty wants to discuss now is the Minister of Civil Affairs and one of the six departments in charge. This is a second-rank official with great power. Of course, they have to deal with it with all their energy.
Lu Xiangqing took the lead and said: "I recommend Chen Dongming, the right minister of the Ministry of official affairs. There are vacancies for the minister of the Ministry of official affairs and the left minister of the Ministry of official affairs. It is logical that the right minister of the Ministry of official affairs will take over."
"Furthermore, Mr. Chen Dongming has served in the Ministry of Personnel for more than three years and is very familiar with the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel..."
"I second the proposal!"
"I recommend Mr. Zheng Xuanyue, Chief Secretary of Jiangzuo..."
