Huangxiu

Chapter 390 Imperial Edict
Chu Zhiyuan walked alone on the street.

The bustling crowd around him was like an endless stream of river water, while his few guards were like reefs, separating the crowd.

He strolled leisurely in the garden, thinking about the conversation he had just had with Gao Jiuqu.

A gentleman deceives others with his own way. For a person like Gao Jiuqiu, the best way is to be honest with him instead of trying to be scheming or clever.

It seemed that Gao Jiuqiu had no hostility towards him, or perhaps the cliff master saw his character and did not say anything.

Or maybe he has not yet come into contact with the affairs of Wentian Cliff and is concentrating on cultivation.

No matter what, building good relationships now will only bring benefits and no harm in the future.

Dealing with Wentianya is different from dealing with the evil sect.

The way to deal with evil sects is to destroy them directly.

Dealing with Wentianya is just like dealing with Dazhen, both of them are fighting but not breaking.

Don't seek to destroy the opponent, just suppress them.

Observing a master's perfect breakthrough to become a grand master is extremely important to oneself, as it is the key to one's own breakthrough to become a grand master.

You must first understand how to change and know the path you want to take so that you can move forward smoothly.

Gao Jiuqu and Chu Mingrui are both excellent subjects for insight.

Unfortunately, Chu Mingrui was in the northern border and could not come back to let himself see.

Gao Jiuqu was the best target. Through the observation of the cave, Gao Jiuqu's spirit and energy did not change much.

It's no different from when I first arrived.

If it continues like this, it will be almost impossible to break through to the Grand Master level.

Do you want to find a way to give him a helping hand?
One is to make good connections, and the other is to clearly see the process and changes of a master becoming a grand master.

According to him, if he didn't lend a helping hand, his master would have to continue to be the Cliff Master, or even die in that position.

In this way, Wentian Cliff will be without a cliff master, and the position will be vacant. Will this cause Wentian Cliff to be shaken?

Thus causing the collapse of Wentian Cliff?
Or will it have a fatal impact on Dazhen?
These thoughts were swirling in my mind, with several of them thinking on their own.

A moment later, he arrived at the martial arts hall and saw the ten people there.

The debate in the court finally stopped.

There were various changes and tug-of-war during the period, and the fight was extremely fierce.

All forces joined the battle and fought fiercely, but they were evenly matched and it was difficult to tell who was better.

It is roughly divided into two forces.

On one side are the military nobles, mainly the eight dukes.

The other side is the six ministries, with the Ministry of Rites being the main one.

Behind the Ministry of Rites are the martial arts sects, the four major sects and the Feihua Sword Sect.

During the period, it was said that eight people were from the Zhenwu Division and two were from the army; at other times, it was said that eight people were from the army and two were from the Zhenwu Division.

Then there are six people from the Zhenwu Division and four people in the army, or seven people against three.

Either there are four people from the Zhenwu Division and six people in the army, or three people against seven people.

The final result was a 50-50 split.

There are five people in the army and five people in the Zhenwu Division.

The martial arts hall was not big. He came to the training ground and started to observe everyone directly. He then taught each of them the key points of their practice, and reminded them of the order and time.

Then he left.

The martial arts hall was just a side trip for him, so he didn't take it too seriously.

He did not show any friendliness or gentleness, nor did he do anything to win people's hearts.

He looked very official, as if it was just his own government affairs, like he was sitting in the Ministry of Rites.

After explaining it once, he left and returned to the palace to continue practicing.

The Liuli Knife Sutra was at a critical moment, and he couldn't stop and wished he could practice it all the time.

Chu Zhiyuan was sitting on the couch, concentrating his sword intent, when he suddenly realized something and said, "Mr. Zhu."

Zhu Caifu appeared in front of the window in a flash, wearing a simple light blue silk gown, and looked at him with a gloomy face.

Chu Zhiyuan clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Zhu."

Zhu Caifu appeared in the room in a flash. Chu Zhiyuan asked, "What happened?"

"An envoy has arrived from the palace. It's the emperor's decree, reprimanding Miao Zhen."

Chu Zhiyuan frowned: "It seems that they have received the news?"

"Of course. I guess we received this kind of news on the same day."

"Emperor Dazhen wants to continue the marriage?"

"Definitely."

"...Has His Majesty received the news that His Highness committed suicide?"

"It should have been received, but the imperial edict should have been issued. I just don't know if there will be a second imperial edict."

"..." Chu Zhiyuan pondered.

"Once the imperial edict is issued, it will be difficult to change it." Zhu Caifu was a little anxious: "The emperor cannot change his orders every day. Sometimes, even if he makes a mistake, he has to swallow his anger."

Chu Zhiyuan pondered and said, "Your Highness, don't be anxious. It takes more than one hand to clap."

"I'm afraid that the two emperors will get to know each other and find out that Miaozhen is cheating, and in anger, force her to marry."

“…It’s not that serious.” Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: “There is still room for maneuver.”

Zhu Caifu frowned and said anxiously: "Now that the imperial edict has arrived, it is already difficult to change it."

She gritted her teeth and said, "The emperor has issued this decree, reprimanding Miaozhen for her mischief and telling her not to act recklessly and to consider the interests of the hundreds of millions of people in Dazhen."

As she spoke, she sneered, "Billions of people, why not billions of people? Think about it, right?"

Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

It seems that the envoy that Gao Jiuqiu welcomed was the one who brought the imperial edict of Emperor Dazhen to reprimand him.

Emperor Dazhen probably thought that Cheng Miaozhen was just being naughty, willful, and reckless, and was just throwing around a princess' temper.

Chu Zhiyuan could understand her anxiety. It seemed that all efforts were in vain at this point, and all the previous things were just bubbles that would burst at a touch.

Zhu Caifu asked, "If Emperor Dajing talks to him and forces you to marry, can you refuse?"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "I will refuse... The rumors circulating in the city now are just an excuse to refuse."

"...That's true." Zhu Caifu suddenly smiled: "I didn't expect this rumor to be so useful."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Mr. Zhu, you are worrying too much. Miaozhen, don't worry. Things haven't reached the worst point yet. Grandfather Huang will not be like this."

Zhu Caifu snorted: "Who can guess what the emperor is thinking?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Emperor Dazhen can force His Majesty the Eighteenth Prince, but Grandfather Huang will not."

"I hope it's not too late." Zhu Caifu sighed.

Chu Zhiyuan was about to speak when Zou Fang suddenly reported from outside: "My Lord, Steward Huang is here with the imperial edict."

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Zhu Caifu.

Zhu Caifu waved her hand: "You go and receive the imperial edict first."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Then Mr. Zhu, please don't leave yet. The imperial edict from the Emperor's grandfather should be related to this matter."

"Okay." Zhu Caifu agreed.

Chu Zhiyuan came outside.

Huang Cheng was in the front hall with two red-robed eunuchs, and was drinking tea with Feng Xi.

Seeing Chu Zhiyuan coming over, Huang Cheng clasped his fists and laughed, "My Lord, congratulations."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Where does the joy come from?"

His eyes were already on a sandalwood tray being held by a red-robed eunuch.

The plate is covered with golden satin, showing its nobility.

Huang Cheng unveiled the golden silk, held up the imperial edict with both hands and handed it to Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan took it with both hands, slowly unfolded it, and then smiled: "Grandfather Emperor is wise!"

Huang Cheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty is indeed wise. Then, my lord, I will take my leave now. I will trouble you to go to the Sifang Pavilion and read the imperial edict to Her Royal Highness Princess Dazhen Eighteenth."

"Just leave it to me."

Chu Zhiyuan clasped his fists.
