Cultivating Ghosts: There is a Pink Skull at the beginning

In the palace of the Wu Dynasty, Ye Tianlin, the king of Wu, sitting on the throne covered with a yellow silk dragon chair, felt a little drowsy.

King Wu looks to be in his 70s, but his actual age is older, and he also had the strength of six or seven levels of Qi training when he was young.

Perhaps because he felt sleepy, King Wu quickly said to his neighbors standing aside: "Junzhi, I have been taking care of Guoding's affairs recently, and I haven't asked about those boys for a long time. How are the princes doing?"

Pei Junzhi is the old team of King Wu, and belongs to the deep-rooted monarch and close ministers.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the princes are quite peaceful, and there is nothing particularly out of the ordinary."

King Wu asked, "Is there any good news?"

Pei Junzhi said cautiously: "The second prince made friends with several monks from Dongzhou, and the third prince often went to the princes' place to care about the progress of Guoding."

"The Ninth Prince seems to have taken in the daughter of the head of a cultivation sect. He should be looking for some available people."

"The Thirteenth Prince recently received the Foundation Establishment Pill. According to the priest in the palace, the foundation can be established within a year."

"The sixteenth prince..."

King Wu listened, interrupted Pei Junzhi, and asked directly: "How is Xiaoliu doing business?"

Pei Junzhi replied cautiously: "The Lingtong Division in charge of the Sixth Prince is the country's most important weapon. Since our dynasty followed the example of the Yue Kingdom Lingtong Division and established an information post station dedicated to transmitting official documents, we know all the big and small things in each county. Can spread the Holy Decree everywhere.”

King Wu said loudly, "I'm asking you how his business is doing!"

Pei Junzhi quickly bowed halfway, lowered his head and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Lingtong Department is stable and orderly. The princes from all over the country who come to Beijing often go to ask about things with the feudal ministers, and they are recorded in the account every time they come and go. Now, it is difficult for the sixth prince to bring this matter up to the princes, and it is also difficult not to use the Lingtong Pavilion for the princes. The daily consumption of spirit stones is recorded in the loss..."

King Wu frowned, but he didn't blame anything.

Right now refining the national tripod is the top priority, and even if it is not the time for refining the national tripod, it is normal for princes from all over the country to go to Beijing to use the Lingtong Pavilion of the Lingtong Department to talk to their subordinates' families.

Although these princes' behavior of not giving money made people very uncomfortable, but King Wu couldn't bear to ask these princes for money, and even didn't support the princes to find trouble for nothing.

"Well, that's the way it is."

King Wu simply ignored this matter and did not intend to solve it.

Sometimes even the emperor pretends not to know.

The Yue Kingdom established the rules when Chen Taiyi was there. Princes and princes have the habit of spending money on consumption, even on their own territory. After all, they all have money.

The Wu Dynasty was different. The princes and princes here all regarded the royal things as their own and their brothers' things, and they didn't eat them for nothing.

Whoever spends money is a fool, if he has money and doesn't give it, he will be laughed at by the rest of the brothers.

King Wu was very disappointed with his dozens of sons and dozens of daughters.

The Wu Dynasty did not advocate the eldest son inheritance system, but selected talents from it.

King Wu's requirement for the prince is not how high his cultivation level is, nor how strong his strength and ability are, but that he can earn money, save money, and know how to live frugally.

Money is needed to fight wars, and money is needed to attract monks. Now after casting the national tripod, it is necessary to manage the world's spiritual veins and mines, so the monarch's habit of diligence and thrift is more considered than before.

Especially in recent years, there has been a lack of aura in both Zhou and Wei.

Because of the meticulous planning and careful planning in the early stage, coupled with the reasonable use and development of aura, the State of Yue has already surpassed the State of Zhou in these years, but the State of Zhou is not as good as it is every year.

With the case next door, King Wu hoped to find an heir who could live a life like Chen Taiyi.

Seeing that King Wu was in a bad mood, Pei Junzhi changed the subject.

"Your Majesty, I heard today that in order to hone his will, the eldest son of King Ming cut off all the refreshments and sweets in his mansion to worship, saying that he did not want to be affected by the extravagance of the Yue Kingdom in the East, and discarded those clever and exquisite things. Reminiscing about bitterness and thinking about sweetness."

King Wu became interested in an instant, and said curiously: "The eldest son of King Ming is Ye You, who is said to be like King Ming...what's the matter?"

Pei Junzhi replied: "Ye Youniang, because she lost her mother when she was born, King Ming didn't pay much attention to the child at that time, so he named the child casually. I didn't expect that he would be appointed as the heir apparent later."

King Wu had no idea about this, the royal family seldom called out their names, they always called them in order, or their official titles.

"Reminiscing bitterness and thinking sweet, this is a commendable spirit." King Wu expressed his appreciation, but he didn't pay much attention to it, only thinking that the children in his brother's family behaved a little strangely.

Pei Junzhi said: "Yes, I heard that not only did I cut off my after-dinner refreshments, but I also wanted all the people in the mansion to cut off the excess melons and fruit teas and other offerings, but the princesses of the Ming Palace did not follow suit. It only cut off the extra expenses of himself and his maidservants."

King Wu was startled for a moment, then frowned.

This is someone else's child...

"This is quite interesting. You continue to ask, if this kid can persist for three days, then bring this matter up to me."

Pei Junzhi said respectfully: "Yes, I will remember that."

For three days without dessert, drink, or sweet fruit, King Wu thought it was impossible for a child.

Not to mention a child in his teens, even his virtuous and virtuous concubine, Concubine Shu, couldn't do it.

If an adult can't do it, how can a child do it?

Then explain that Wang is a fat man, and that Xiao Ming Wang is also a little fat man.

King Wu himself has hundreds of children, how can he not know what the children are eating all day long.

***
It is better to suffer alone than to suffer together.

People's joys are not connected, and smiles will not infect suffering people.

When you are sad, seeing other people happy will only make you sadder.

Because he is not afraid of death, Chen Taiyi can really do things that are not afraid of death.

"Father~ I have worked so hard to exercise my spiritual will, but the big girls and young daughter-in-laws in the mansion are eating snacks behind my back. I can see their festive appearances drinking tea in the garden from two houses away!"

In the Lingtong Pavilion, Chen Taiyi and King Ming filed a complaint, accusing the women in the mansion of refusing to endure hardships with them.

In the mirror, there is a thick and honest fat man with a helpless smile. Although the fat man is fat, he is wearing a luxurious brocade suit and a bright jade crown hat. He looks dignified and friendly.

King Ming smiled and said, "Watermelon and banana are delicious, and black tea with rock sugar is also good. The princes and nobles here in the capital like to enjoy it. Why don't you like it? Didn't you like it before?"

"Is it that the ones in Taifeng City are not delicious? Well, I think the ones here in the capital are all sent directly from the Yue Kingdom, so I want some more to send to you."

Chen Taiyi said decisively: "No! You have been giving these all the time. It's not that I don't like it, but I decided not to eat it!"

"Not only I don't eat it, but others can't eat it either!"

King Ming didn't understand what happened to his son at all, "Why don't you eat? Everyone else eats and drinks, but you don't eat or drink. These are not bad things. If you don't eat or drink, why do you suffer? Look at you, you are thin Already!"

Chen Taiyi took a step back, touched his belly and said: "I'm not thin, I've gained a few pounds, and eating big fish and meat all day long is enough. It's not that I don't eat, it's just that I don't eat anything other than three meals a day. The things that cut off the excess appetite.”

King Ming saw that his son was not thin, so he reassuredly said: "Tell me what you think, live a good life, but if you insist on living a hard life, even if the prince who made a mistake was demoted, there is no such thing as you." suffer."

Chen Taiyi said: "Father! You can't let me suffer alone! You order your wives in the mansion to break up the snacks and worship with me!"

King Ming quickly shook his head, "How can this work? You will definitely cry with me then."

Chen Taiyi was really not afraid of being hacked to death by his subordinates, so he said directly: "Then I will give an order myself, I am the King Ming of Taifeng City now, I will go to check the treasury now, who would dare to buy foreign products such as pastries, sweet tea, etc. I'll teach him a lesson!"

King Ming said anxiously: "This can't work, how can this work?"

Chen Taiyi: "Hang up! Remember to pay for things from the Lingtong Department, don't always renege on your debts."

"Snapped!"

Chen Taiyi directly hung up the communication.

Thunder on the left, tiger on the right, the hunk in his heart is straight up!
Although he didn't practice any sword skills, all his sword intents were warming up.

Chen Taiyi is on the road of betraying relatives and dying all the way!
"Fang Wucuo! Let's go, let's do bad things together!"

Chen Taiyi called out the big villain Fang Wucuo, and dragged him to do good deeds together.

Fang Wucuo's scalp was numb, and he didn't want to do such a hated thing, and there was no benefit at all...

"Little prince! Little master!" Fang Wucuo wanted to cry but had no tears, "I dare not offend the concubine, let's wait for the prince to come back to discuss this matter, and discuss it in the long run!"

Mrs. Chen snorted and said, "You old man cheating ghosts? Last time you were not afraid of that woman, why are you concerned about her face now?"

Fang Wucuo really didn't want to do such a bad thing, but he also knew that this time the little prince had to do it.

"The old slave has a stomachache and is in a hurry to go to the latrine. The prince must lead the troops to seal the warehouse. How about letting Commander Mu lead the troops to follow?"

Fang Wucuo and the surrounding maids and guards all looked at Chen Taiyi, as long as no one messes around with this little prince, he can't do anything! !

As long as Chen Taiyi goes to find and wait for Mu Ying to come, then he has already lost, and Mu Ying will be busy with work, so she shirks to the end.

If everyone doesn't cooperate and doesn't want to do it, then it can't go on.

But Chen Taiyi is not a little fat man who doesn't understand anything, so he directly said at this time: "What are you waiting for him to do? You can either follow me to the warehouse today, or you can retire and return home. What do you think?"

Fang Wucuo's original expression of wanting to cry but no tears turned cold in an instant. He frowned and stared at Chen Taiyi with a calm expression that Chen Taiyi had never seen before.

"My lord, you can't make such a joke." Fang Wucuo politely reminded, with a slow and calm tone.

The surrounding air was more than ten degrees colder, and the cold air could be clearly felt.

Chen Taiyi immediately glared at Fang Wucuo, "Old dog! How dare you threaten me?!"

The children's scolding sound resounded in the hall of the house, and also startled the flying feathers of the birds outside the windows of the house.

The angry and childish roar instantly shattered the cold air Fang Wucuo brought, but it also made the tense atmosphere in the room even more intense.

Whether it was the guards inside and outside the Lingtong Pavilion, or Fang Wucuo's cronies, they did not dare to breathe at this time.

Fang Wucuo never thought that the little fat man he had served for several years would have such courage, let alone that he would be in the situation he is in today.

In just a short moment, Fang Wucuo thought of many ways to deal with it, some of which were violent.

But in the end, he knelt down in fear and trepidation, crying and pleading: "Your Highness, please calm down, lend me a hundred guts, and this old slave doesn't dare to do that. This old slave has always been loyal to my lord and my little lord." Geng Geng, the sun and the moon can learn from each other!"

Chen Taiyi snorted coldly and walked out, "Get out of Taifeng City immediately, you must get out before noon!"

Fang Wucuo cried miserably: "My lord! My lord, please spare my life! This old slave really didn't..."

He was very strong, and soon found that Chen Taiyi had already walked out of the house more than ten meters away, and he had no intention of coming back at all.

Fang Wucuo's crying stopped quickly, and he stood up slowly with a gloomy face, his expression was terribly cold.

The surrounding guards and officials did not dare to breathe, let alone look at this dangerous old man.

Fang Wucuo walked out quickly and calmly, and said to the eunuch who followed him, "Let the maids in the mansion rest for a few days, the little prince needs to calm down a little these days."

"Yes!" The trusted eunuch and Fang Wucuo are deeply bound, so they naturally know what to do now, but they still asked cautiously: "Wang Ye..."

Fang Wucuo said directly: "I will do it over there. I have served the prince for decades. The prince knows my loyalty and will not let the little prince mess around!"

The trusted eunuch quickly responded: "Yes!"

Chen Taiyi has no cronies at all in the palace, no playmates and close relatives, no followers and staff of his own.

In this palace, Fang Wucuo, the eunuch in charge, wanted to check and balance this little prince who didn't understand anything, it was a breeze.

Chen Taiyi quickly walked to the meeting hall, and the maids and guards he met on the way all greeted him respectfully, at this time Fang Wucuo's order had not yet been delivered.

The butler was inspecting the palace, and when he saw Mrs. Chen coming over, he saluted and said, "My lord, where are you going?"

Chen Taiyi calmly said: "I'm going to the conference hall, you go and tell Muying that Fang Wucuo committed a crime and tried to threaten me, and now I have expelled him from the palace, you let him lead the troops to kill Fang Wucuo halfway, and get rid of this scourge .”

Ye Fu was startled, and subconsciously thought it was a joke.

But looking at the calm expression of the little prince, he hurriedly said: "Little prince, is there some misunderstanding? How could Vice Governor Fang do such a thing?"

Chen Taiyi ignored him, and walked past him directly, "Just do it if you are told to do it, don't ask why, if you can't finish it, you also get out."

Ye Fu was stunned immediately, he never thought that the kind and melancholy little chubby would say such a thing.

"This...what the hell happened?"

Ye Fu quickly sent people to inquire about the news, and soon got in touch with Fang Wucuo's people, and the reason for the quarrel was clarified.

It is impossible to inform Mu Ying to bring troops here, Ye Fu does not want to cause a big incident.

***
In the capital of the Wu Dynasty, the spiritual mirror in a pavilion of the Lingtong Department began to flicker, and the guards in charge quickly connected the spiritual weapon.

Two old people appeared on the screen.

One looked like a housekeeper, and the other was obviously a eunuch.

Ye Fu said quickly: "Please trouble the spirit envoy to inform King Ming quickly, saying that something big happened to the palace, and the little prince is going to kill someone! Kill the deputy governor Fang!"

The spirit envoy thinks that this is not a matter, is it considered a matter for princes and nobles to kill individuals?
"Okay, wait a moment." Spirit Mirror Envoy said: "Prince Ming should still be talking to the rest of the princes in the pavilion, I will invite him right away." (End of this chapter)
