Chapter 496 The Enemy
The new emperor is governing gracefully, and the court and the people of the Ming Dynasty are jubilant.

As soon as the emperor came to the throne, he pardoned the world, and the shackles on the heads of the ministers were removed at once.

Immediately, the emperor issued an order to limit the power of Jinyiwei and not to monitor officials at will.Many arrested officials recovered and regained their official positions, and many were promoted as a result.

All kinds of "unjust cases" have been rehabilitated, and many officials have been released from prison and put on official uniforms to see the light of day again.The jailers were miserable, and they were worried, for fear that these officials and lords would come back to retaliate.

As for the officials, they had no time to recall their time in prison. They wept bitterly and called the Son of Heaven wise, a wise emperor rarely seen in ancient times.

Looking down from the restaurant, there are many carriages and horses in the sky prison, all of them came to pick up the family of the master.They hugged their heads and cried first, and then they were overjoyed. Looking at the streets of the capital, it seemed as if they had passed away.

Looking at this bizarre scene, Li Yu couldn't laugh or cry, "This is really the emperor and the courtier."

What I know about Zhu Qizhen is that I know about a civil fort change, and it may not match up in this time and space.He is still a child now, and he became emperor early because his father was killed.

The black-clothed Prime Minister of Daming lost power, and his fault was that after returning to Daming, he did not settle down to develop his own power, so he rashly joined forces with the emperor to launch a campaign to clean up the officialdom.Although their methods were not as brutal as Taizu's time, and the scale of the cleaning was far less than one-tenth of that time, the backlash they caused was so great.

Taizu was able to clean up the officialdom of Ming Dynasty because his authority was absolutely unambiguous. Zhu Yuanzhang fought all his life, starting with a single bowl, and conquered thousands of miles of land.

Who dares to disobey his civil servants and military generals?
Zhu Zhanji is a Taiping emperor, without the great achievements of his ancestors, nor the supreme authority of his ancestors.

Their aggressiveness inevitably caused a backlash in the officialdom, and now even the emperor is dead.

Li Yu had to sigh a few words, Yao Guangxiao was imprisoned for ten years, ten years was enough time for an imperial court to breed countless interest groups.

They huddle together to keep warm, and can quickly fill the vacuum of power. Power is the most ruthless thing. Let alone ten years, ten days will not wait for you.

Yao Guangxiao even dared to clean up the officialdom. Li Yu was able to clean up the officialdom in Bianliang of the Song Dynasty because Cai Jing spent more than ten years helping him break up the civil service system, and the Tartars helped him create an opportunity to kill.

What happened in Bianliang cannot be copied, and it is also the trend of the times. Li Yu is just guiding.

On the street under the window, Wang Ziteng, who was still in despair a few days ago, was also picked up by his family.When Li Yu saw him, he recognized him immediately, and couldn't help but take another look.

The Wang family's horse team is the most extravagant, it seems to be a demonstration, the black copper lacquered carriage is covered with a curtain made of Shu brocade.

Behind the carriage was like a cloud of servants, there were about a hundred of them, forming a long queue.The servants also had their own carriages. In fact, the status of King Xue of Jiashi and the four major families in Jinling had changed long ago.

The Jia family seems to be the most powerful, because their ancestors have the highest titles, but in Wang Ziteng's generation, the Wang family is the most powerful.

Speaking of which, Wang Ziteng had some relatives with him, because he was about to accept Baochai, and Wang Ziteng was the uncle of Baochai and Xue Pan.

They dared to be so arrogant just after the emperor died, obviously because the emperor was young and there were people in the court.

Although I don't know who is backing him, but he must be on the winning side in this palace change.

Li Yu knew Yao Guangxiao before, but he didn't expect that he had lost power now, and it seemed that he had to start all over again.

"Disciple of Longhu Mountain, come to pay respects to the Taoist priest."

Upon hearing this, Li Yu walked to the door, and after opening the door, he saw two Taoist priests standing at the door.

They looked about 40 years old, but Li Yu could tell at a glance that these two must be a hundred years old.

It seems that they caught up with Zhang Jiao and broke the barrier between heaven and earth, thus attaining the Tao and greatly increasing their lifespan.

At that time, Zhang Daoling had just founded the Five Dou Rice Sect, and these two were obviously his confidants in the founding of the Sect. Li Yu didn't dare to neglect, and said with a smile: "You two Taoist priests are polite, let's talk in the lobby."

The three came to the lobby. After Li Yu sat down, he ordered a pot of tea and asked, "How do you two know I'm here?"

"Zhang Sanfeng from your teaching arrived at Longhu Mountain and told the whereabouts of the Taoist priest. Master sent us to pay a visit."

"The Celestial Master is really too polite. Compared with the Celestial Master, I am just a junior in the Taoist sect. I planned to go to Longhu Mountain to worship the mountain after finishing my work in the capital. Who knew that the two of you would come first."

Longhushan Tianshidao will be of great help to his heroes, especially the patriarch Zhang Daoling personally present, giving himself enough face, and Li Yu is also happy to give them some face, so he speaks and behaves very politely.

After drinking a pot of tea, Li Yu smiled and said, "You two are here, what orders does the Heavenly Master have?"

The two old Taoists looked like they were cultivating that school in the deep mountains, so they seldom talked, almost listening to Li Yu alone.

But Li Yu could tell that they had something to say and had been waiting for it.

Li Yu handed it over several times, but unfortunately they didn't catch it, and finally asked directly.

Sure enough, the old Taoists looked at each other, showing expressions of relief, and one of them said: "Master, he wants the Taoist priest to go to Longhu Mountain. He has something to ask in person. He said that he should come in person, but the master has a special status." , I don’t want to step into the capital easily.”

Li Yu nodded, "After you two go back, report to the Celestial Master, saying that I will definitely visit the mountain, so he can rest assured."

After the two old Taoists finished preaching, they wanted to leave. Li Yu understood very well that this kind of Taoist priest who practiced hard in the mountains was like suffering in the bustling area of ​​the capital.

He despises this kind of cultivation method very much, but he is not opposed to being so purely cultivated by others, because everyone is unique and has his own way, one's arsenic, my honey.

In Zhengjingmen, there used to be an absolute supporter of this kind of pure and ascetic practice, that is Wang Chongyang.

Later, Li Yu asked him to travel around the world to experience the joys and sorrows of the world. In the end, Wang Chongyang gave up this worldly cultivation method and began to practice in the world, and broke through the bottleneck in one fell swoop.

Li Yu saw off the two veterans, and was about to go back to his room when he found a man standing at the door, staring at him.

Li Yu frowned, and glanced at him, this man was not very old, wearing a blue gown that is common in the capital, with a wrap around his hair, he was dressed as a scholar.

Seeing Li Yu looking towards him, the young man dodged his eyes and wanted to run away.

Li Yu laughed and said, "You want to see me?"

The young man raised his head and glanced left and right, looking very nervous.

Li Yu knew in his heart that he had something to hide and wanted to ask for help, but he was afraid of being known. It seemed that he knew his identity.

Li Yu transmitted the voice into the secret, and said: "You go back, I will look for you tonight."

The young man's eyes lit up, and he left in a hurry with his head down.

With a movement of Li Yu's fingers, a paper crane flew out from the fingertips in his sleeve, and after hiding his figure, it attached to the young man's back.

Back in the room, Wushun was embroidering a sachet, while Qiongying watched it with great interest.

Li Yu said to Wu Shun: "Your cultivation is really too slow. My Cyan Wood Art is unparalleled in the world, and you are still at the sixth rank. It is a waste of everything."

Wu Shun felt a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice, "I will try my best."

Li Yu said: "How about this, you go to Fengyue Baojian and ask Jing Huan to help you improve your cultivation, it will be regarded as retreat."

Qiongying said dissatisfiedly: "You don't want to take us anymore? If you don't take us, then don't. We are playing in the capital by ourselves, why should we go to retreat in Fengyue Baojian?"

When Li Yu saw that she had spotted him, he couldn't help laughing and said, "As long as you are smart, Baojian is much bigger now, and there are many interesting places. When I finish my business, I will definitely take you all to have fun in Daming."

"Really?" Qiongying looked at him suspiciously.

Li Yu immediately patted his chest and promised: "Liar is a puppy, I will take you to Longhu Mountain to play!"

Qiongying clapped her hands and said happily: "Then we can make a deal."

With a flash of white light, Li Yu put them into Fengyue Baojian, then packed up the salutes in the room and threw them in together.

Originally thought that Daming was very stable and nothing would go wrong, but the emperor died as soon as he came.

Now the situation is turbulent, the two factions are fighting each other to the death, and the open and secret fighting does not know when it will stop. Li Yu really dare not take the two women to ostentatiously pass through the market. His own identity is known by so many people, which shows that it is not safe at all.

Li Yu didn't wait until nightfall. He told the young man that nightfall was a way to deceive his eyes.

After walking out of the restaurant, Li Yu concealed himself and followed the direction of the paper crane to find a dilapidated courtyard.

He climbed in from the wall, only to see the gloomy inside, a lot of blood in the yard, more than a dozen corpses lying here and there, some were already smelly, and flies were flying around.

In a corner of the wall, sat a small figure, with an incomparably powerful Fang Tian painted halberd beside her.

This Fang Tian painted halberd exudes a faint crimson light, which makes people feel terrified at first glance. It is Lu Bu's weapon back then, and I don't know how many people he killed with him.

Fang Tian painted the halberd, naturally it was Tang Sai'er, she was meditating, Li Yu tried it out, and there was no serious injury.

The scene was too bloody, obviously after a fight, Li Yuyi was brave and not afraid at all, when he entered the room, he saw a monk sitting on a futon, his face darkened, it was Daming's prime minister in black, Daoyan monk Yao Guangxiao.

Li Yu was very surprised. Dao Yan, who had always had light in his eyes, was now sick and unable to cheer up.

After Li Yu got closer, he whispered, "Master, how did you make this famous hall?"

In the capital, someone was able to beat Dao Yan like this. It seems that in a short period of time, the power struggle has already been decided.

Dao Yan heard Li Yu's voice but didn't see him. He smiled wryly and said, "The poor monk is defeated."

With a movement of his fingers, Li Yu began to run the water word formula to help him heal his wounds, and said, "Master, you are too confident, you don't know the horror of people's hearts."

Dao Yan braced himself and said, "Thank you, Master, for your help."

Li Yu immediately said: "I'm just helping you heal your wounds, I didn't even show my face, don't say anything about helping, this is our personal relationship, after all, I still have to rely on them to support me."

Dao Yan said with a smile: "These people are short-sighted, they only care about petty gains, and they put the whole country at nothing. Do you think they will help you?"

"It's a matter of trying."

Dao Yan said: "Don't worry, as long as you and I work together to eradicate them all, next year I will personally lead the prince and princess of Daming to Bianliang to stand for you."

Li Yu chuckled and said, "Master, you should heal your wounds first. Pindao is just an ordinary Taoist priest. He doesn't have that much ability, nor does he have the ambition to stage a coup in Yanjing."

"Didn't you do a good job in Bianliang? To be honest, what you did in Bianliang was the most wonderful coup I have ever seen."

Li Yu didn't play tricks at all, he didn't have the energy, nor the strength, to waste time with these officials in Daming.

You know, even in Jinling, there have been collusion between government and businessmen, and fornication with other races.

Daming's bureaucracy has also been rotten to a certain extent, and to touch these civil servants and gentry interest groups by oneself is to oppose the whole of Daming.

It is not impossible to be an enemy of a country, but you must have similar bargaining chips. I have no interests in Daming, and I am just here to discuss cooperation.

No matter who is in power in Daming, they will not easily reject themselves, because it is good for them to support themselves.

That being the case, why bother to follow Yao Guangxiao who has already been defeated, it is thankless.Yao Guangxiao succeeded in making a comeback by himself, so he can also talk to him.

Li Yu's water tactic is really easy to use, after a while, Dao Yan's face recovered a bit of blood.

Li Yu helped him repair his meridians, which were disrupted and ruptured in several places.

The young man who went to the restaurant to find him during the day came over with a bowl of medicine and said, "Master, take the medicine."

Yao Guangxiao waved his hand, motioning for him to leave, the young man put the medicine in front of him, and slowly turned around to go out to clean up the corpse.

Li Yu said: "Speaking of which, which one is so capable that he can beat the master like this?"

"You know him too." Dao Yan said gloatingly.

Li Yu was talking there just now, but he never refuted, because he knew that Li Yu would definitely help him.

Finally, when Li Yu asked, Dao Yan smiled and said, "It's the monk we beat away. His brother was killed by you. Do you think he will help you?"

"puff!"

Li Yu was almost choked, and asked in disbelief, "You said it was the monk with the scarlet head?"

"Yes."

Li Yu thought inwardly that he was unlucky, he came back and successfully seized power in Daming.

"There has been no balance between good and evil since ancient times, master, don't worry, I, Li Yu, will definitely help you!"

The lame old bald donkey had a deep hatred for him, so it would be strange if he was willing to cooperate with him.

Not to mention cooperation, he will definitely be his enemy. If he is really allowed to control Daming, he will not be safe in Bianliang.

It is not impossible for this old thief to encourage Ming Dynasty to attack Song Dynasty.
Li Yu sat down on the ground, and his figure slowly appeared. Dao Yan looked at him and smiled.

"Don't be too depressed, as I said before, the two of us teamed up, they are just a group of chickens and dogs, if we can kill his brother, we can kill him!"
