I asked you to play a dungeon, why don't you just raise the BOSS here?

Chapter 175 Are you two willing to sit in the Forbidden City and preside over the sword show?

Inner Office of the Governor of Nangan

Wang Yangming asked the cook to prepare some food and wine, and invited Lin Xuan and Ah Qing to take their seats.

"I've been busy begging for thieves these past few days, so I've neglected you two. Please don't mind."

Wang Yangming stretched out his hand to pour drinks for Lin Xuan and the other two, and said with a smile.

"I'm not neglecting you. The food you eat here is very good. It's much better than what I used to eat."

Ah Qing didn't seem to be very interested in wine. He took a casual sip, stuck out his tongue and threw the glass aside: "Ah, it doesn't taste good! You can drink yours, I'll just eat the vegetables."

"I didn't think well, Miss Ah Qing, don't blame me..."

"Why do I blame you? The food here is delicious."

Ah Qing buried his head in eating vegetables: "When I was in the mountains, I never imagined that there could be such delicious food in the world."

"...If it tastes good, eat more."

Wang Yangming let out a sullen breath, suddenly laughed, and saluted Lin Xuan: "Master Lin, please."

"Aren't there other officials in your capital city?"

Lin Xuan naturally didn't bother to ask about ordinary things.

Lin Xuan positioned this girl as a late-stage output player and planned to take good care of her.

Wang Yangming also didn't expect Ah Qing's ideas to be so clear. He smiled bitterly and patiently explained: "This matter is now causing a storm in the city. By then, there will be a mixed bag of dragons and snakes in the capital, and there must be many masters among them."

"It's not a matter of compensation or not..."

"Uncle, you said so much, I can't quite understand you."

"These two people can be regarded as immortal swordsmen in the world. I have heard about it, but I didn't expect..."

"I think this matter is unusual and there must be something hidden behind it."

Wang Yangming, the sage of the heart who achieved the enlightenment of "unity of knowledge and action", has an extremely thorough grasp of the human heart.

It’s strange that Wang Yangming can’t see the problem.

Ah Qing had obviously never heard of this allusion, and was stunned for a moment, with some clear stupidity in his eyes.

"Oh, so that's it. It's somewhat possible."

Lin Xuan sighed and translated for Ah Qing.

Ah Qing thought for a moment and then gave an unprecedented advice: "Uncle, don't worry. Even if your emperor dies, you are so far away and I can't blame you."

"This..., originally I was not in my position and did not intend to do anything."

This is his main mission, and he still needs some snacks.

Wang Yangming frowned slightly and sighed again, seeming a little tired: "This matter is very inappropriate, but the Holy One ignored the dissuasion of hundreds of officials and agreed to it."

Ah Qing nodded: "Since the emperor doesn't listen to advice, then just die and don't pay attention."

Well, this mission is still time-limited, and it will be extremely troublesome if you miss it.

You can't. You can organize it yourself again afterwards, saying that you didn't see it, and let Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng go to the palace to fight again, right?

But just now he heard the eunuch say "on a full moon night, the top of the Forbidden City"...

From the perspective of outsiders, this is no longer a matter of being high-profile or not.

"It's not a secret anymore, it doesn't hurt to tell you."

"Hmph! On a full moon night, on the top of the Forbidden City, a sword coming from the west, flying immortals from the sky... What an eventful year it is!"

"These two people are just borrowing a place. They hit them. If they break something, just ask them to pay for it."

Moreover, Ye Gucheng's plan itself was not very clever.

She didn't go to popularize these things, so as not to distract her.

Ah Qing put down his chopsticks: "You said one of them is the city lord and the other is the owner of some village. They should both be rich people. They can't afford to pay, right?"

"It's nothing..."

It’s a matter of whether there is a disease in the brain…

"Mr. Yangming became a little uneasy after receiving the order. Is there something wrong?"

"Uh-huh?"

Lin Xuan smiled and clinked glasses with Wang Yangming.

She wasn't very concerned about these mission goals. She had been practicing internal skills with Lin Xuan these days without even mentioning them. She seemed to just let things take their own course.

Wang Yangming: "..."

"Mr. Yangming means that he is worried that someone will secretly assassinate the emperor in the name of sword competition."

Wang Yangming let out a sullen breath: "I'm afraid Xiang Zhuang is dancing with his sword and aiming at Pei Gong..."

"Today's imperial edict mentioned that Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City, and Ximen Chuixue, the lord of Wanmei Villa, have agreed to fight on the top of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"It's really not surprising that swordsmen from the Jianghu swordsman compete with each other. But it's really unheard of to choose one in the inner palace!"

Most people's machinations are just tricks in front of him.

Ah Qing frowned: "Uncle, if you have something to say, just say it."

"But this time the Holy Emperor has issued an edict, calling me to recommend sages to take charge of the sword show and guard the Forbidden City."

Wang Yangming smiled bitterly and said: "Originally, I should indeed go to the capital, but now the land of southern Jiangxi can affect the whole body, so I can't leave it lightly."

"Sir, those who are capable are indeed hardworking."

Lin Xuan's thoughts moved slightly and he said with a smile: "At this time, the emperor still knows who to use."

At this time, Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng may not be too strong, and they are probably not as good as Mu Taoist who hides his strength.

But the strength of the masters in the original work is even worse...

There is still nothing that can be done with the combined swords of Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue. Lin Xuan suspected that after the plane was strengthened, the gap between the two sides might become even wider...

Under such circumstances, Wang Yangming "I am self-sufficient and do not ask for help from others." His martial arts may not be extremely strong, but his cultivation level must be considered one of the few in the world.

It makes sense that Zhu Houzhao summoned him to go to the capital to escort him.

In the original work, Lu Xiaofeng was directly assigned to take charge of several imperial guards, which was somewhat unjustifiable.

"Okay, I probably understand what you mean, uncle."

"You invited us to dinner, and you said so much. It turns out that the emperor asked you to do some work, and you have something to do and you can't get away."

Ah Qing thought for a while: "Your job as a governor is too troublesome, and I can't do it. If the capital is in charge of food and housing, we should be able to contribute."

Although she didn't pay much attention to the task, she kept the contents firmly in her mind.

After hearing Wang Yangming mention it, he understood and cooperated.

"Ashamed..."

Wang Yangming felt his scalp was a little numb, and said with a wry smile: "Even if you are willing to ask for the position of governor of Southern Jiangxi, I don't dare to give it to you, Ah Qing."

"I probably understand. I'm worried that once you leave, someone will take the opportunity to cause trouble and cause harm to the people."

Lin Xuan nodded slightly: "Is that why you want us to go to the capital to take charge of the sword competition?"

"Four years ago, Wang Zhe was appointed governor of Jiangxi. But not long after, he suddenly fell seriously ill and died mysteriously."

"Later, Dong Jie went to serve as governor of Jiangxi. Eight months later, Dong Jie also died under mysterious circumstances."

"The next two governors left office on their own within less than a year and refused to take office."

"At that time, Wang Shangshu wrote a letter asking the Holy One to investigate the matter thoroughly."

"But the Holy One didn't take it seriously, and just changed his order to Sun Sui."

"Sun Sui is a fellow countryman of mine, and I have a close relationship with him. He is extremely loyal and loyal. He talks about life and death with a smile. He can be called the pillar of the country."

Wang Yangming drank the wine in one gulp and sighed: "He also knows that the current situation is very difficult, but he said that he would rather die to repay the kindness of the emperor than to take advantage of the emperor's salary."

Wang Yangming was not too surprised by what Lin Xuan said.

At this time, anyone with a discerning eye could see that King Ning was going to rebel.

Wang Qiong, Secretary of the Ministry of War, sent Wang Yangming here, and also hinted several times that it was to guard against King Ning.

But if Prince Ning does not rebel on the surface...

Others really can't touch him.

You can't say that there are bandits in southern Gansu. I suspect that you, an old boy, want to rebel. I will kill you first.

There is no such an outrageous way to play!

Lin Xuan remembered that Wang Yangming seemed to have hinted to Sun Sui, probably saying that Prince Ning was going to rebel soon, and you, the governor of Jiangxi, would definitely be in trouble, so you'd better make plans in advance.

As a result, Sun Sui actually said, just do the opposite, I will send my wife and children away. At worst, King Ning will kill me, just in time for the emperor to punish him with death.

This idea of ​​​​exchanging one limit for another also shows the helplessness at that time.

"Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue are both famous swords in the world, so we are naturally willing to go and take a look."

Lin Xuan thought for a while: "But we are not members of the imperial court. Can the chief minister and others rest assured?"

"This time Yangming is willing to use his wealth and life as a guarantee for the two of them. The first assistant, Mr. Yang, and the Minister of War, Wang Shangshu, also know the priorities of the matter and will obey their authority."

Wang Yangming smiled slightly: "To be honest, if Yang Shoufu and Wang Shangshu knew that Mr. Lin was coming in person, they would probably be a little happy in their hearts."

"Okay, then it's settled."

Lin Xuan nodded slightly: "I and other people in the mountains and wilds, if we have the chance to meet the emperor, we can only ask for it."

At this time, the chief assistant was Yang Tinghe, and the Minister of War in charge of this matter was Wang Qiong.

They are all considered famous ministers, at least their IQ should be online.

Lin Xuan also has a hard time commenting on Zhu Houzhao, the ridiculous emperor...

It's not even clear whether this guy is really stupid or pretending to be stupid.

Do you want to say that this guy is not good...

When he employs people, he quite understands the art of balance.

He insisted on his own opinions and was headstrong, and was not affected by the treacherous ministers he favored at all.

Two years ago, Boyan, the young prince of the Mongolian Tatar tribe, came to attack the pass, and he was very excited to lead the expedition in person.

As a result, he actually showed extraordinary military talent.

With a small gap in strength between the two sides, Boyan was beaten away.

In history books, this battle is called the "Great Victory of Yingzhou".

But is Zhu Houzhao really capable...

Since this guy came to power, the country has never been stable.

He also acts as he pleases, being unpredictable and disobedient.

From time to time, big problems would arise, and even the prince would rebel more than once.

Well, even if this person really intends to take a long-term approach to fishing for big fish and physically eliminate the feudal clan...

It's also weird behavior.

Therefore, Lin Xuan still planned to take the opportunity to investigate and see if Zhu Houzhao, the ridiculous emperor, could handle it...

For this kind of Ming emperor who is easily soluble in water, we cannot completely count on the blessing of dynasty luck.

Since it involves the main mission, if this guy really can't afford it, he should make plans in advance.
