Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 705 Palace Ruins
After chatting with Guo Ming for a few minutes, Guo Ming said he needed to go back to continue his cultivation and try to break through as soon as possible.

He is now considered an elder figure in the family.

Every day I'm either practicing or on my way to practice.

Of course, this pressure did not come from his family dynasty, but from his other allies.

Back then, even Kumashima, who came from the reserve-level trial world, was already stronger than him.

There was nothing he could do now but strive to cultivate and become stronger.

Fortunately, Da Wang gave him a boost, otherwise he would have been stuck at level 4.

Unlike now, he can easily kill even level 5 natives.

With the summoning and maintenance costs included, Chu Danqing paid 300 Paradise Points to send Guo Ming back.

"Brother Chu, who was this just now?" Lu Wanyi's expression was complicated. She was very sad, after all, her own son had died.

But she was also shocked that the palace had been razed to the ground.

“Oh, so you’re an ally just like me, Godmother,” Chu Danqing said. “Da Bao is easy to accidentally hurt, and Da Gu has too large a damage range.”

"We have no choice but to have him come and help."

The main problem is that Da Gu's Sorrowful Wind is like a nuclear bomb; it explodes at the designated location and doesn't distinguish between friend and foe, except for Chu Danqing who is immune to it.

So we had to bring Guo Ming over, since he does manual operations, which are safer in all aspects.

For example, although the palace was razed to the ground, there were no casualties.

This was something Chu Danqing specifically instructed him to do.

Otherwise, given Guo Ming's personality, he would probably have wiped out the entire Eastern Capital Prefecture, not just the Imperial Palace.

The reason for doing this is simple: it increases the quality of the treasure chest.

If Chu Danqing hadn't told him all this in the team channel beforehand, he would most likely have made up an excuse to shirk responsibility after finishing the task.

Afterwards, Chu Danqing wouldn't pursue the matter too much, since Guo Ming understood that Chu Danqing's good deeds had prerequisites.

They won't criticize their own people just because they are outsiders; at most, they'll just say a few words.

Lu Wanyi opened her mouth, but really didn't know what to say.

"So what should we do next?" Lu Wanyi finally asked what to do now.

The matter seemed to have ended, but she always felt that it wasn't over yet.

"Then it depends on what you want to do, godmother," Chu Danqing said. "Your own son is a rebellious son, but you still have a grandson."

"Since the son has been raised astray, then we'll raise the grandson as upright."

“We can’t let others benefit from this,” Chu Danqing said, giving another example: “For instance, the Prince of Fanyang.”

"You want to become regent?!" Lu Wanyi's expression changed.

"Huh? No, that's not it." Chu Danqing didn't expect Lu Wanyi to have such a distorted idea, and immediately said, "I'm going to travel the world in a while, and I won't interfere in court affairs."

"I'm asking what your opinion is, godmother," Chu Danqing said bluntly. "If godmother doesn't want to, let's go back to the countryside."

In fact, Chu Danqing didn't think highly of Lu Wanyi.

After all, she was not cut out for the imperial court; she was only suited to be a rural old lady.

Lu Wanyi was about to agree to the idea of ​​returning to the countryside, but she forcibly suppressed the thought.

Going back is easy, but what about this mess?
Chaos is bound to ensue, especially with the loss of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes. It's possible that the Zhang Dynasty will directly enter its final years.

Lu Wanyi had seen evildoers like Zhang Shanfu even in peaceful times, so she knew that it would be even more terrifying in times of chaos.

Secondly, Chu Danqing also persuaded her, saying that her grandchildren were also her bloodline.

Everyone has their own selfish motives; how could one simply hand over something to someone else?

“But I don’t know how,” Lu Wanyi said helplessly. “Besides, without the Four Kings and Eight Dukes, how can we establish a stable rule over the world?”

The stability of the Zhang Dynasty stemmed from a network of deities headed by the Four Kings and Eight Dukes.

However, not only are the Four Kings and Eight Dukes dead, but Chu Danqing also killed many powerful gods before.

Even if she wanted stability, she was powerless to achieve it.

"This is indeed a problem." Chu Danqing stroked his chin. Without a gun, even the best pen is useless.

Lu Wanyi felt helpless upon hearing Chu Danqing's words.

If this can be resolved, that's fine, but if it can't, it'll be a huge mess.

“How about this, godmother, you learn first, and I’ll assist you,” Chu Danqing said. “In a couple of days, I’ll find someone to help you come up with a solution that will solve the problem once and for all.”

At this point, we needed the help of two professionals, Xiong Zhigang and Yang Qianyuan.

There's no rush for now; let's resolve this current mess first.

Hearing that Chu Danqing didn't know either, Lu Wanyi breathed a sigh of relief.

She was worried that Chu Danqing had ulterior motives.

Then the two of them just stood there staring at each other.

"How about we go find your eldest grandson first? He's the Crown Prince, after all; he should know these things," Chu Danqing said.

Chu Danqing is knowledgeable in political and military affairs, but he can only be considered a dabbler in them.

If there is a complete system, he will be able to get started very quickly.

But now that Zhang Chao's entire administrative center has been destroyed, it's a very difficult situation for him.

Fortunately, as the crown prince, he should have his own small team.

Even the fastest way is never as convenient as a convenient way; it's okay to borrow it for a while.

“Okay.” Lu Wanyi thought it made sense, then said, “But I don’t know where my eldest grandson is.”

“Normally it should be in the East Palace,” Chu Danqing said honestly, “but it’s not quite normal now, so let’s find someone to ask.”

“However, to avoid trouble, we need to make some intimidation.” As Chu Danqing spoke, Da Yu’s figure appeared, and he appeared at his largest size.

In a sense, size can be a manifestation of strength.

With Da Yu as a marker, they quickly found the prince through 'inquiry'.

A frail-looking boy is being protected in the arms of a woman.

"Godmother, are you sure you've got the right person? The ages don't match up." Chu Danqing looked at the eunuchs and maids protecting the two of them.

The atmosphere was tense, and everyone's face was filled with fear.

"Your rebellious son is at least forty years old. If he gets married at sixteen and has a baby at seventeen, then the crown prince must be at least twenty-three now."

"Look at this child, even if you take in his age by the traditional Chinese age reckoning, he's only ten years old at most," Chu Danqing said speechlessly.

Lu Wanyi didn't know much about the affairs of the inner palace, but after a simple calculation, she found Chu Danqing's statement to be very reasonable.

"May I ask who you two are?" the woman asked, mustering her courage.

Chu Danqing then said to Lu Wanyi, "This is the current emperor's birth mother, the Empress Dowager, who was alive back then..."

After hearing this, everyone's expressions were complex.

The woman, in particular, was completely stunned. You all destroyed the palace just to claim kinship.

As for Emperor Zhang, everyone wisely refrained from asking.

After Chu Danqing finished speaking, Lu Wanyi took out the Jade Pearl and the Dragon Bun as witnesses.

Everyone believed it; given the other party's strength, there was no reason for them to lie.

The woman knew that she had no choice now.

Therefore, she rose with the Crown Prince, bowed gracefully, and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects. Please forgive me for not being able to greet you properly."

"The matter concerning the Crown Prince is indeed..."

Chu Danqing was surprised to find that this woman was actually the Empress; she was far too young.

To put it bluntly, according to Chu Danqing's estimation, the Crown Prince is probably about her age.

After listening to what the other party said, Chu Danqing finally understood the cause and effect.

This was not the first empress, but the seventh.

Emperor Zhang had only one son, and he was frail and sickly.

They either have difficulty conceiving for a long time, or they experience miscarriage or stillbirth.

The gods could help raise it, but the result was still unsatisfactory.

In the end, she only gave birth to this one child, and it looked like it might die young.

“This must be hereditary,” Chu Danqing said immediately. “Back then, the late emperor only had one rebellious son, which is why your rebellious son is in the same situation.”

"If nothing unexpected happens, your eldest grandson might have one too."

"I can find some professionals to prescribe some medicine to treat it; it's not a big problem," Chu Danqing said.

Upon hearing this, Lu Wanyi's expression turned sour, and the Empress's face also turned pale.

"Can Da Bai be cured?" Lu Wanyi didn't really want to wait, so she asked directly.

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing said, "I don't know. I'll let it try, but don't have too high hopes."

The white-haired creature can cure diseases, but the diseases it cures are more often caused by external forces than by its own internal problems.

Of course, there are also ways to treat it indirectly.

Even if you cut it off, it will grow back, and maybe it can be cured.

However, he didn't say that even if he had, his suggestion wouldn't have been adopted.

It would only arouse suspicion, so it's better not to say anything.

After Chu Danqing finished speaking, Da Bai performed a set of spiritual healing techniques on the seemingly weak Crown Prince.

The effect is good; the person's overall energy and spirit are completely different from before the treatment.

It has gained a bit of liveliness.

"Premature birth, right?" Chu Danqing suddenly asked.

"This...sir is right, he gave birth prematurely." The Empress was surprised that Chu Danqing had noticed.

"Oh, no wonder. We'll buy some together then and try to fix it up for him so this mess can be put to rest here," Chu Danqing said.

As soon as he finished speaking, another group of people came looking for him; they were ministers from the imperial court.

Upon learning of the incident at the palace, they naturally rushed over with people and deities immediately.

First, they went to the Golden Palace and other places where Emperor Zhang might be. During this process, the number of people naturally increased.

However, they couldn't find Emperor Zhang, so they had to go to find the Crown Prince and Empress instead.

As a result, he saw Da Yu from afar. After hesitating for a while, he saw that they were chatting happily, so he came over to "rescue" them.

As for their true thoughts, Chu Danqing could tell at a glance.

However, Chu Danqing did not choose to expose them, as he still needed their help in the future.

Despite their ulterior motives, they are quite capable.

There's no need to worry about them playing any tricks; the weapon of criticism is no match for the weapon of criticism.

"You've all come at the right time. This matter," Chu Danqing introduced Lu Wanyi to the visitors once again.

As for the blame for the palace and Emperor Zhang, Chu Danqing smoothly shifted it onto Empress Dowager Li and Zhang Yaozuo.

Since the person is dead anyway, they can't refute it.
