Changzhen Gong can nourish the body.

Every day, Liu Dong used golden needles to channel some of his internal energy into Su Mengzhen's body, repairing his already damaged internal structure.

Internal organs, bones, blood, and muscles are gradually repaired, and the virus is gradually eliminated from the body during the repair process.

This is a long process.

It took Liu Tong three years to completely cure Su Mengzhen and restore his health.

During this time, Liu Dong acted as an intermediary, facilitating Su Mengzhen's meeting with Gu Xichao, and the two reached a cooperation agreement.

During this time, Su Mengzhen met Wang Xiaoshi and Bai Yunfei, and became sworn brothers with them.

Su Mengzhen was in good health, so Bai Yunfei did not have any intention of replacing Su Mengzhen and taking over the Golden Wind and Fine Rain Pavilion.

Bai Yunfei got to know Gu Xichao through Su Mengzhen, which fueled his even greater ambitions.

He no longer looked down on the Golden Wind and Drizzle Pavilion; he wanted to enter the imperial court and become a figure second only to the emperor.

Gu Xichao saw through Bai Yunfei's ambition and smiled as he took Bai Yunfei to his side.

Emperor Huizong (Zhao Ji) doted on his handsome and capable son, Gu Xichao. When he heard that his son was asking for an official position for someone close to him, he readily granted it.

Bai Yunfei became a junior commander in the Imperial Guard.

With his skills and martial prowess, he was promoted in no time and became the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard.

After some time, Bai Yunfei sidelined the commander.

He used very secretive methods, and the commander of the Imperial Guards was unaware that he had been sidelined.

This commander of the Imperial Guards wasn't particularly capable, but he was adept at playing both sides, being related to Cai Jing by marriage and also having connections with Fu Zongshu.

Gu Xichao sent Bai Yunfei into the Imperial Guard so that he could take control of it.

Bai Yunfei was handsome and looked like a scholar. The commander of the Imperial Guard looked down on Bai Yunfei as a "weakling" and did not think that Bai Yunfei would be a threat to him.

Because of his attitude, Cai Jing and Fu Zongshu also overlooked Bai Yunfei.

After learning that Su Mengzhen had recovered, Zhuge Xiaohua personally came to Jinfeng Xiyu Tower to invite Liu Qiu to treat Wuqing.

Treating Wuqing was easier than treating Su Mengzhen; Liu Dong spent a year curing Wuqing.

Ruthless stood up.

Ruthless, who can run and jump, has improved his strength significantly compared to before.

But in fact, Wuqing's greatest strength is not his martial arts skills, but his intellect and knowledge.

Gu Xichao and Wuqing were both very talented writers, and they were able to have a good conversation.

The two considered each other close friends.

After learning that Wuqing could walk, Gu Xichao sent Wuqing to participate in the scientific expedition.

Being a constable was a waste of Wuqing's abilities, and Gu Xichao hoped that Wuqing could help him in the imperial court.

Gu Xichao reserved the position of Grand Secretary for Wuqing.

Wuqing's knowledge was truly exceptional, and he passed the imperial examinations with remarkable ease, advancing to the final palace examination.

Cai Jing was determined to suppress Wuqing, but he didn't expect Zhuge Shenhou to have another ally in the court.

Gu Xichao sought out Fu Zongshu and asked him to protect Wuqing.

Fu Zongshu also hoped to have another ally to deal with Cai Jing, so he agreed to Gu Xichao's request and helped Wuqing thwart Cai Jing's scheme.

When Emperor Huizong heard that Wuqing had participated in the imperial examination, he paid close attention to it.

Cai Jing dared not make any major moves and could only watch helplessly as Wuqing was selected by Zhao Ji as the third-ranked scholar and entered the court.

With one of the Four Great Constables missing, Zhuge Shenhou decided to find another to join and make up the difference.

However, Zhuge Shenhou has not yet chosen a candidate.

The young marquis of the Helian family seems promising, but his ambition is to become a general on the battlefield.

At this time, Wang Xiaoshi came to visit his third martial uncle. Zhuge Shenhou was the third disciple of Wei Qingqing of the Zizai Sect, and Wang Xiaoshi's master, Tianyi Jushi, was Wei Qingqing's eldest disciple.

Zhuge Shenhou looked at his junior apprentice, his eyes lighting up.

And so, Wang Xiaoshi was lured into the Divine Marquis's mansion by Zhuge Shenhou, filling the vacancy of the Four Great Constables.

Su Mengzhen was very disappointed, as he had originally intended to train Wang Xiaoshi to be his right-hand man.

Alas, even a sworn brother can't compare to a close martial uncle!
After the high-yield grain varieties were promoted, Gu Xichao's reputation soared to unprecedented heights. The leader of the sect felt that the time had come, and it was time for Zhao Ji to abdicate.

Liu Dong provided the medicinal powder, which Gu Xichao had slipped into Zhao Ji's food.

This medicine won't kill anyone, but it will make Zhao Ji (Emperor Huizong) lack energy and have no mind to deal with state affairs.

Of course, Zhao Ji was too lazy to handle state affairs, so he left many matters in the court to Cai Jing and Zhuge Shenhou for help.

Therefore, Liu Dong also gave her another kind of medicine.

After taking this medicine, Zhao Ji will become completely paralyzed and unable to move, like a useless person.

Such a useless person could not possibly be emperor, so the ascension of the next emperor should be put on the agenda.

Aside from Cai Jing's faction wanting another prince to ascend the throne, other officials wanted Gu Xichao to become emperor, and the common people also voiced their support for Gu Xichao.

Most importantly, Emperor Huizong (Zhao Ji) also favored Gu Xichao.

Although Zhao Ji could not move, he could speak and think.

He was indeed a foolish ruler, but not an idiot; Zhao Ji had brains.

If he weren't intelligent, how could he have excelled in both calligraphy and painting? And how could he have created the Slender Gold style of calligraphy?
Zhao Ji understood that Gu Xichao was the best choice to be emperor. If he had chosen another son to be emperor, given Gu Xichao's abilities, that chosen son would have died without anyone noticing.

Even if he didn't die and ascended the throne, Gu Xichao was capable of staging a coup and seizing the throne.

Why bother with all that? Just give the throne to Gu Xichao directly.

With Zhao Ji's support, Gu Xichao's ascension to the throne was confirmed.

Cai Jing took action.

He and Gu Xichao have always been adversaries, and he will definitely not have a good ending after Gu Xichao ascends the throne.

Therefore, Cai Jing would absolutely not allow Gu Xichao to ascend the throne.

Cai Jing decided to kill Gu Xichao and become emperor himself.

There are many officials in Cai Jing's faction, and these people decided to follow Cai Jing to the bitter end for their own benefit.

Liufenbantang also joined Cai Jing's rebellion.

Di Feijing felt that the operation would not succeed and tried his best to dissuade Lei Sun.

Lei Sun had been blinded by power and wealth and completely ignored Di Feijing's advice.

He injured Di Feijing and placed him under house arrest.

Lei Sun believed that with his trump card, Guan Qi, he could absolutely wipe out everyone at Jin Feng Xi Yu Lou and massacre the entire palace.

Lei Chun led Di Fei away in alarm.

The two men would neither help Lei Sun nor betray him; they fled the capital.

Not long after, news came that Cai Jing had been executed and all those who had colluded with him had been beheaded.

The Six and a Half Hall was destroyed, and there has never been a Six and a Half Hall since.

This was still because the newly enthroned emperor was "benevolent," only executing the ringleaders. The ordinary disciples of the Six and a Half Hall did not die, but were instead exiled to the army on the border to help defend it.

Di Fei sighed deeply.

Indeed, he was a wise and capable ruler.

Lei Sun's decision to oppose such a person was doomed to failure. (End of Chapter)
