Chapter 2532 Reward yourself and arrange it!

In fact, Le Shan originally wanted to argue with Cao Danshu. A few years ago, she found that she could not win the argument with her junior sister, so she drew her sword and wanted to teach Cao Danshu a lesson as a sister.

But Li Zhi stopped Le Shan, just like the two were the big one, so the two of them fought and actually got really angry!
Seeing Li Leshan saying that she was protecting the emperor, Cao Danshu quickly explained, "Master, I just felt that the emperor had no choice about the imperial examination, so I explained it to Leshan, but she just didn't listen to me and said that I was siding with that dog."

Wang Yue knew what Cao Danshu was going to say next, so he interrupted her and said harshly, "Shut up!

"The boss didn't discipline his junior brothers and sisters, so I punish you to chop a thousand pieces of wood with your sword! Each piece of wood must be the same thickness! No more, no less."

Zhao Jian could tell that although Wang Yue was scolding her, he was also training her. She also knew that she was not decisive enough this time, so she did not argue and immediately said,

"Yes! Master!"

Wang Yue dealt with Zhao Jian, then looked at Le Shan and snorted, "Le Shan has an unstable temper. I will punish you by sending you to the river to fish. If you don't catch 50 kilograms of fish, you won't be allowed to eat. Do you have any objections?"

After hearing this, Le Shan was dumbfounded. She had just recently learned how to fish, but after learning, she didn't want to fish anymore because it was too boring.

The reason she went fishing in the first place was because she saw Wang Yue and Zhao Jian fishing. She felt that if she didn't fish, she would seem a bit out of place, so she joined in the fun.

But although Le Shan was very reluctant, she still held back, because she knew that if she couldn't help it, the punishment would be increased.

Therefore, she could only bow to Wang Yue and said resignedly, "Yes, Master!"

Wang Yue was a little surprised that Le Shan did not argue. It seemed that this girl had made some progress. He felt that his teaching results were quite good.

His anger dissipated a little, but he still looked at Li Zhi and said, "Li Zhi, you are just a nominal disciple, but you fought with a formal disciple sister, this is really no distinction between high and low!
No matter what, no matter what the reason is, you are wrong, so you are expelled from the sect!
I will not take back my martial arts, but I will not allow you to pass them on to others. Otherwise, I will take action and make you regret it for the rest of your life.

You leave now!"

After hearing Wang Yue's words, Li Zhi, Cao Danshu and Zhao Jian Leshan were all very surprised, and they all looked at Wang Yue in surprise.

Zhao Jian was the first to react, so she did not persuade Wang Yue, because she knew that Wang Yue did this not only because he was angry, but also to make Li Zhi make a choice.

Wang Yue has already offended the Queen Mother. If you get too close to Wang Yue, you might be implicated.

After all, if the superiors set an example, the subordinates will follow suit and show their dislike for Wang Yue, then the empress dowager's cronies will definitely become even more unscrupulous.

It wouldn't matter that they are just girls, and the adults wouldn't do anything to them. But Li Zhi, as the eldest son of the Li family, is so close to Wang Yue, so he will probably be the first to be targeted.

Cao Danshu was the second one to react. She felt a little bit reluctant, but she didn't try to persuade him and could only turn her face away helplessly.

In fact, she had not expected that Li Zhi, who was unwilling to marry her, would choose to hold a sword in front of her when she was isolated and helpless.

If Cao Danshu had some complaints about Li Zhi's unwillingness to marry her, which made her the laughing stock of the entire Song Dynasty at her wedding, she had completely forgiven him the moment he stood in front of her.

Le Shan didn't understand these twists and turns. She was just stunned for a moment, then quickly persuaded, "Master, Junior Brother didn't mean it. Please keep Junior Brother! This time, I was impulsive and bullied Junior Sister, who had just learned swordsmanship. Otherwise, Junior Brother wouldn't have stopped me."

Wang Yue felt helpless when he saw Le Shan was still trying to persuade him. It seemed that although he had grown up, he was still not grown enough.

He was unwilling to explain further, so he snorted and asked, "Why? You want to leave too?"

Li Leshan immediately shut up and dared not say anything more. He could only look at Li Zhi with sympathy and helplessness.

Li Zhi actually reacted quickly. He understood Wang Yue's good intentions, but it was also a test. Let's see what decision he will make.

If Li Zhi was alone, he wouldn't mind offending the Queen Mother, but now he was worried that the Li family would be implicated, which was something he, as a member of the Li family, did not want to see.

So after hesitating for a while, he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed three times to Wang Yue. Then he said in great pain,

"Master, please take care of yourself. I'm leaving now! Please take care of yourself, Master!"

After hearing Li Zhi's decision, Wang Yue was actually very disappointed, even more disappointed than when he was exempted from the imperial examination ranking, so he no longer looked at Li Zhi and turned away.

Seeing that Wang Yue was unwilling to say anything more, Li Zhi felt very sad. He immediately stood up, took his Xiaoyao Sword, turned around and left the island.

He came to the stable next to the island, rode his BMW, and left quickly.

Wang Yue was actually just giving Li Zhi a choice. If Li Zhi chose him, he could also protect the Li family. But now that Li Zhi chose the Li family, it proved that their relationship as master and apprentice had ended.

After Li Zhi walked away, Wang Yue turned around and looked at Cao Danshu, and said seriously, "Cao Danshu, do you want to leave too?"

Seeing that Wang Yue was addressing her in an unfamiliar manner, Cao Danshu knew that her master might not be particularly happy about Li Zhi's departure.

So, she shook her head and said very seriously, "Thank you for your consideration, Master, but I won't go. I am now a disgrace to the Cao family, and I don't think the Queen Mother will embarrass the Cao family because of me.

She was afraid that the Cao family would make me commit suicide, which would give the Queen Mother evidence of her forcing someone to death, allowing the court's imperial censors to attack the Queen Mother.

Therefore, I am not worried at all that the Queen Mother will embarrass my family, nor am I worried about my own affairs."

Wang Yue saw that Cao Danshu was thinking so clearly and felt that Cao Danshu was much smarter than Li Zhi.

It would be a shame for Cao Danshu to go back now, but not going back would bring danger to the family. If the Queen Mother's cronies made things difficult for the Cao family at this time, the Cao family would probably send poison or white silk to Cao Danshu.

It is precisely in this situation where one move would mean a dead end that people are so afraid to take action.

Li Zhi actually had other choices, which was to directly announce that he would sever ties with his family, but it was obvious that Li Zhi couldn't do that.

Thinking that Li Zhi had finally brought him a disciple, Cao Danshu, made him feel better.

Therefore, Wang Yue said sternly, "Since you have thought it through, I will not force you. Now that Li Zhi is gone, for the sake of your reputation, you can let your brother take over Li Zhi's place. As for the Queen Mother, you don't have to worry at all. Your master has already thought of a way to deal with it, and will definitely not let the Queen Mother affect your family."

Cao Danshu believed in Wang Yue's ability, and also understood that Wang Yue wanted her younger brother to temporarily hide away so that he would not be embarrassed by the Queen Mother's party, so she smiled and said,

"Thank you, Master. I'll have my brother come over right away."

Wang Yue was even more surprised. Talking to smart people is simple and comfortable. However, he suddenly changed the subject and said,
“Now that it’s been arranged, you still have to receive the punishment you deserve.

You talked back to my senior sister and didn't know how to handle problems. So, I'm going to punish you by not talking for a month. Are you dissatisfied?"

Cao Danshu didn't expect that she would be punished like this, so she quickly bowed respectfully to Wang Yue with a very respectful attitude, but she didn't say a word.

The punishment begins now!

After dealing with his disciples, Wang Yue returned to his room and began to think about his counterattack.

After all, his good plan was ruined. If he didn't fight back, he would be confused and it would have an adverse effect on his future practice.

It was just a trivial matter. Asking him to kill a dying old lady seemed to be of no use and would affect his future plans. It seemed very unreasonable.

So, Wang Yue hesitated for a moment and decided to take some benefits for himself and temporarily leave the Queen Mother's life there.

Moreover, according to the original history, the Queen Mother did not have many years left to live.

However, according to Song Renzong's character, even after Empress Dowager Liu died, he probably would not re-employ him. He felt that he needed to make his own way in the future.

So, at midnight that night, Wang Yue used the instantaneous talisman to come to the palace, then used the invisibility talisman to come to the empress dowager's bedroom, and finally affixed the control talisman directly on the empress dowager.

At three o'clock in the morning, the sleeping Queen Mother suddenly sat up and shouted loudly to the outside,
"Shouzhong! Come in for a moment!"

Ren Shouzhong was waiting at the palace gate. He had just closed his eyes while leaning back on the couch. When he heard Liu E's call, he hurriedly pushed the door open.

He stopped a few steps away from the Queen Mother's bed and said respectfully,
"I am here! What instructions does the Queen Mother have?"

Empress Dowager Liu drew aside the curtain, stared at Ren Shouzhong seriously, and said very solemnly,
"Go and invite Lu Yijian! Quickly!"

Ren Shouzhong felt that the empress dowager was acting strange today, but when he saw clearly that the empress dowager was the only one in her bed, he did not think much about it and quickly arranged for someone to notify Lu Yijian.

But calling someone in the middle of the night would make the noise known to everyone even if one was careful.

Soon, the current emperor also knew about it, and even some of the ministers in the court received the news. They didn't know what was going on, and could only watch with vigilance.

After all, the two masters in the palace have been obviously not getting along recently, and any accident is possible.

Lu Yijian was sleeping when he suddenly received the news that the Queen Mother had summoned him late at night. Thinking that the Queen Mother was seriously ill, he hurried to the palace.

In fact, opening the palace gate in the middle of the night was against the rules, but at this time, no one cared about the rules.

While Lu Yijian was doing this, the empress dowager had already changed her clothes and was holding the imperial seal, pressing it on a written edict.

Lu Yijian was somewhat surprised, not knowing what was going on. He bowed to the Queen Mother and then asked,

"My Queen, why did you summon me here?"

The Queen Mother put the imperial seal aside, then took the imperial edict and looked at it, then said solemnly,
"I dreamed of the late emperor, who told me that I did something wrong today, but the imperial decree had already been issued and it would be inappropriate to change it, so he specifically asked me to issue this decree."

As she said this, she handed the written imperial edict to Ren Shouzhong.

Ren Shouzhong hurriedly took the imperial edict and handed it to Lu Yijian without even daring to look at it.

Lu Yijian opened the imperial edict and took a look. He was shocked. He asked in a hoarse voice, "What happened?"
"Queen, I don't kneel before you. I think this reward is very appropriate and a great honor. But it says that the reward is Wang Yue's sword with dragon pattern, and he is allowed to eliminate violence and protect the good, and has the power to execute corrupt officials first and report later. Isn't this a bit too much?"

The Queen Mother sighed and said helplessly, "This is the best way for the late Emperor to save the relationship. Prime Minister Lu, you should just follow my wishes."

When Lu Yijian heard the empress dowager using the late emperor as an excuse, he knew that he could no longer persuade her, so he bowed to her, took the imperial edict and left the palace, then got on the carriage and headed for Zhuxian Town.

There are many eyes and ears in the palace, and what happened in the Empress Dowager's palace soon reached the emperor's ears, and even the specific contents were known to him.

The emperor was somewhat puzzled by what he heard, so he quickly called his personal eunuch Mao Ze, and then ordered, "Mao Ze, accompany me out of the palace!"

Of course Zhang Maoze did not dare to persuade him, so he just made arrangements quietly, and then took the emperor to the outside of the palace quietly and got into an inconspicuous carriage.

The carriage drove all the way to Yan Shu's mansion, then slowly stopped.

Yan Shu had been awakened by the noise in the palace and had known that the emperor was coming. He was waiting in the main hall, and when he heard the noise at the door, he hurried out to greet him in person.

Yan Shu once served as the emperor's teacher. Although Yan Shu did not dare to call himself the emperor's teacher, the emperor always called him teacher.

After the master and the disciple met, Yan Shu invited the emperor to sit on the main seat in the main hall. Then he asked solemnly, "Your Majesty, you want to ask the Queen Mother's will, right?"

The emperor nodded, and he told the story of what happened in the palace, and then he said in confusion,
"What on earth does the Queen Mother mean by this?
First, because Wang Yue was someone I admired, she directly deprived Wang Yue of the right to pass, and I had already gone along with her.

But now he suddenly gave Wang Yue such great honor and power, what does this mean?"

Only then did Yan Shu know what had happened in the palace. After thinking about it carefully, he shook his head helplessly. He still didn't quite understand what this move meant.
