Chapter 145: Discussion Meeting, the Prince's Response (asking for monthly votes)
"He Yongzhi has met Lin Xiang!"

In the tent, He Yongzhi went to see Lin Ruofu first.

"Governor He, you are too polite. Please take a seat."

Lin Ruofu quickly pointed to the chair next to him and said.

Those who can become governors of a route are all the most trusted confidants of Emperor Qing.

Although Lin Ruofu was the head of all officials, he treated these governors equally.

"I heard that some villains were trying to assassinate Your Majesty in Mount Dadong, so I led 500 of my own soldiers to provide support, and the main army is also ready to set off at any time." He Yongzhi went straight to the point.

As the governor of a route, he naturally had unimpeded access to Dongshan Road, but he could only mobilize his personal soldiers.

If you want to mobilize the army, you definitely need Emperor Qing’s approval, otherwise it would be treason!
He Yongzhi also knew this, so he said it very clearly.

"It is true, but Grand Master Ye is handling it on the mountain. I wonder where Governor He heard the news?" Lin Ruofu asked calmly.

He knew that there would be rumors spreading, but among all the ministers present, he had the highest status, and if any major decisions were to be made, they should be made by him.

But a governor was transferred here without his knowledge, which made him a little frightened.

"I have received messages from many people and know that the situation is urgent, so I came here without permission. I hope Minister Lin will forgive me!"

He Yongzhi is not Xiang Yu. The first thing he said was "This was said by Cao Wushang, the left Sima of Pei Gong."

He knew that he should hide the person who sent him the message, otherwise if he sold the person out today, if something really happened in the future, who would dare to send him a message again?

After saying that, he quickly changed the subject and asked, "May I ask where Your Majesty is?"

"As the Governor of Dongshan Road, I should be here to protect your Majesty's safety!"

Hearing this, Lin Ruofu did not ask any more questions, but pointed to the top of the mountain and said, "Your Majesty is on the Great East Mountain, and there are at least four Grand Masters there. What do you think?"

"Four grand masters?!" He Yongzhi widened his eyes.

He had received news that an assassin was coming, and he also knew about the Grand Master, but four? !
He still knows his own weight.

If he were an ordinary assassin, he would naturally rush forward to show his bravery, but now they are all grand masters, so it is better for him to follow his heart.

"What's the current situation in the temple? Can we send someone up to check it out?" He Yongzhi asked.

"I sent them, but they couldn't get up." Lin Ruofu said in a deep voice.

"Can't go up? What do you mean?"

"In front of the temple gate, Lord Fan, following His Majesty's order, is guarding the door and not letting anyone else in!"

"Can't we just break in by force?" He Yongzhi asked.

He had heard of this Lord Fan, the immortal poet of Qing State.

At a young age, he became a ninth-rank master, proficient in both civil and military affairs. He also worshipped a grandmaster as his master and was very famous.

But his strength is only at the ninth level after all, which is not enough to defend against anyone!
"He is accompanied by a mysterious man dressed in black. He is very powerful and seems to be a great master. At least a ninth-grade master is no match for him!"

In the afternoon, naturally, some people wanted to sneak into the temple to see what was happening to Emperor Qing.

But without exception, no matter who goes up, they will be knocked down, even the ninth rank is no exception.

Fortunately, the man in black did not kill anyone, otherwise many people would have died.

"Another grandmaster? Not Fan Xian's master?" He Yongzhi was stunned.

"No." Lin Ruofu shook his head.

He estimated that the number of grandmasters on Mount Dadong now might be beyond everyone's imagination.

All the great masters in the world should be gathered here.

In fact, Lin Ruofu had originally been thinking about taking revenge on Fan Xian because of Lin Gong's matter.

But later, as Fan Xian became more and more famous, he gradually gave up this idea.

Then, he was accepted as a disciple by the Grand Master and was specifically named by Emperor Qing to be taken to Dadong Mountain. Now, he is entrusted by His Majesty to guard the temple.

Under such circumstances, Lin Ruofu naturally wanted to make friends with Fan Xian.

If the Lin family wants to continue to prosper in the future, they can only rely on Fan Xian.

The top of Dadong Mountain.

A heavy rain in the afternoon washed away all traces of the temple.

However, the heavy rain came and went quickly, and the sky cleared up soon. Now there is a full moon in the sky at night, and it is exceptionally bright.

Outside the temple, Fan Xian sat on the steps, still using his inner strength to dry the corners of his clothes.

Earlier, when we were discussing in the temple, a group of great masters were standing in the heavy rain, and it looked very cool.

But they all had their internal Qi protecting them, their clothes were not affected, and the rain just flowed around them.

Although Fan Xian also had inner energy to protect his body, his inner energy was still a little lacking compared to that of a grandmaster. His outer coat and the corners of his clothes were all wet, and Fan Xian had been using his inner energy to dry them.

Of course, he also has some obsessive-compulsive disorder. In fact, he had already dried the main part, and he was just nitpicking at this time.

After drying the last bit of corners, Fan Xian subconsciously supported himself with his hands and looked up at the sky.

"On the fifteenth day of August, the moon is so round!" He sighed as he looked at the huge full moon.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a little lonely.

Alone, he came to this world who knows how many years later. It was Mid-Autumn Festival, but there was no one to celebrate the festival with him.

However, when Fan Xian turned around and saw Wu Zhu standing beside him like an iron tower, his heart suddenly warmed up.

Since he was a child, Uncle Wu Zhu has always protected him and made sure he is not alone.

In Fan Xian's heart, Wuzhu has already become his relative!
He looked at the temple behind him again, and through the crack in the door he could see Qin Feng talking.

That was his master, who was like a real brother to him and made him feel very warm.

After knowing that he was the son of Emperor Qing, Qin Feng even asked him if he wanted to be emperor.

Fan Xian was completely dumbfounded at that time. He had never seen such a fierce master who wanted to make him emperor at every turn.

It’s like this emperor is a job on a recruitment website, and he can be selected if he applies for it.

If this had happened before his diplomatic mission to Northern Qi, he would probably have been extremely excited and thought about being an emperor for fun.

But ever since he witnessed the power of the grandmaster and realized Qin Feng's ideals, he no longer had any thoughts about becoming emperor.

It’s smaller, the layout is smaller!

The emperor seems to have supreme power, but he is extremely busy and cannot step down easily after taking the throne, so he has much less time to practice.

Fan Xian’s current goal is very simple, to take good care of his family and then strive to break through to the Grandmaster level as soon as possible.

There is nothing else to think about.

By the way, there is also the task of teaching the Third Prince.

Since his master had assigned him this task, he would treat it as a job and do it well.

While Fan Xian was thinking about these things, in the center of the temple behind him.

A small fire was burning slowly, making crackling sounds from time to time, and the fire illuminated the four people around.

In the afternoon, under the guidance of Qin Feng, several people took out their respective martial arts and began to study them separately.

Qin Feng did not hide anything and took out the Hunyuan Gong secret method that he had prepared long ago.

In fact, relatively speaking, his mental method was still a little worse than others. After all, it was only a small success and had not yet been perfected. But it was enough to provide a lot of reference for others. By the evening, several people had almost finished reading.

Qin Feng clapped his hands and said, "The rules of the discussion are very simple. First, there is the question-and-answer session. Everyone can ask their own questions, and the others will answer them. One person will answer one question in order, and this goes on and on."

"Then there is discussion and consultation. It is like free time. You can find someone to discuss and consult about martial arts knowledge."

"This is our first seminar, so there are relatively few people. So please feel free to express yourself. We can discuss the specific rules later."

After saying that, Qin Feng shouted outside: "Fan Xian, come in and listen to the class!"

"Here comes Master!"

Soon, Fan Xian came behind Qin Feng.

Qin Feng smiled and said, "In future discussions, everyone can bring their own disciples to sit in. Today, Fan Xian is here, so I am taking advantage of you all."

"What are you talking about? For martial arts exchanges, the more people there are, the better!"

Si Gu Jian laughed, but quickly said, "Of course, stupid people can't come, otherwise they won't understand even if you tell them."

Ku He also nodded and said, "Without talent, it's useless to come here."

"That's what I want to say too."

Qin Feng smiled and said, "When you bring your apprentice here in the future, I hope you will examine his talent. If a mediocre person comes in and hears these things, it will not only be useless, but will harm him!"

"We can naturally avoid this matter." Ye Liuyun said.

The other two also nodded.

In the path of martial arts, one must take one step at a time and proceed steadily and firmly.

If one has a weak foundation and no talent, being exposed to this knowledge in advance will only make these people aim too high.

"In that case, I declare the first Taoism Forum to begin!" Qin Feng stood up and said.

August 16, afternoon.

Kyoto City, the second prince’s residence.

Recently he has been very busy because of Zhang Moyuan's dismissal from office.

The prince could dismiss him just like that, and Li Chengze couldn't protect him at all.

The most important thing is that Emperor Qing has not objected yet, he just gave the prince a slight warning.

This is not a good sign, as it means that Emperor Qing doesn't seem to think highly of Li Chengze.

And this is fatal to Li Chengze.

Those officials who have surrendered to him now seem to have signs of contact with the prince.

Even if you don't defect to the other side, you will become a fence-sitter.

In order to stabilize the "military morale", Li Chengze gave up a lot of interests before things gradually settled down.

"Your Highness! Something bad has happened!" Xie Bian ran over with an envelope.

Hearing this, Li Chengze's heart skipped a beat. No way, could someone else have been arrested?
He has given up nearly 30% of his profits. If it happens again, he really won't be able to bear it.

"What's wrong?" he asked hurriedly.

At the same time, I kept repeating in my mind, "Don't get caught, don't get caught, don't get caught."
"Dadongshan! His Majesty has been assassinated!"

When Xie Bian told Li Chengze the news, his first thought was to feel relieved.

"Great! I'm not getting caught. Wait! What did you say?!"

But soon, he found something wrong, grabbed Xie Bian, and asked, "Your Majesty was assassinated in Dadong Mountain? Who is the assassin?! What's the situation?!"

His tone was urgent, and there was a hint of madness in his urgency!
"The assassins appear to be Ku He and Si Gu Jian, two great masters! As for the outcome, it is safe for now."

"The letter said that His Majesty was discussing martial arts with several Grand Masters."

"Your Majesty? Discussing martial arts?" Li Chengze suddenly burst into laughter.

"What kind of nonsense is this? Who would believe it?!"

"This matter is indeed a bit strange, but the person who delivered the message is Grandmaster Ye Liuyun, so it should not be false." Xie Bian said.

Hearing this, Li Chengze stopped laughing and became a little confused.

He asked, “Any other news?”

"Not at the moment, but this is a big deal, the rest of the news should be here soon!"

This was indeed the case. Not long after, news about Dadong Mountain arrived one after another.

For example, He Yongzhi led his personal army there, His Majesty Fan Xian ordered to guard the gate, a mysterious grandmaster, Fan Xian's master might appear, His Majesty has not been seen for a day, etc.

"Fan Xian and a mysterious grandmaster are guarding the temple gate together? There is definitely something wrong with this!" Li Chengze frowned as he pondered the weirdness of this matter.

In the imperial palace, inside the Queen Mother's bedroom.

The prince was also asking the queen about the matter of Dadong Mountain.

"The mysterious Grand Master is guarding the temple gate with Fan Xian? Or is it under the order of His Majesty?"

The Queen frowned and said, "Fan Xian is a possibility, but the person following him, even if it's not Eunuch Hong, should be the Grand Master of the Ye Family!"

"I have the same question, please help me solve it, mother." The prince asked hurriedly.

He knew very little about the Grand Master, and the only person in the palace he could ask for advice was the Queen.

"If Ku He and Si Gu Jian really come to assassinate Emperor Qing, there are many possibilities!"

"The first possibility is that His Majesty is not dead, and he was really discussing the Dao. It is unclear what they were discussing, but Fan Xian's status will definitely be extraordinary in the future!"

Hearing the name Fan Xian, Li Chengqian frowned, somewhat displeased.

However, the other party was the disciple of the grandmaster and was now valued by Emperor Qing, so he had no choice.

At this time, the queen continued: "Or, your majesty is dead, all this is a conspiracy, and it is just dragging on now."

Upon hearing this, the prince immediately said solemnly: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could my father, the emperor, die so easily!"

Although he said it was impossible, Li Chengqian's eyes were full of excitement.

He was excited and thrilled, his whole body was trembling slightly, and he was looking forward to this happening.

Because as long as Emperor Qing died, he, as the crown prince, could directly ascend the throne to become emperor.

This was something he had dreamed of thousands of times, and now it was about to come true, how could he not be excited? !

The queen knew her son's character and didn't take it too seriously. She just continued speaking.

"The possibility of a Grand Master taking action is very high."

Then he changed the subject and said, "But this is the worst case scenario!"

"Why do you say that?" Li Chengqian was stunned.

"Think about your majesty discussing the Dao with the Grand Master. Who said this?"

"Ye Liuyun!" The prince said without thinking.

Then he immediately realized it and asked in a lost voice: "Could it be that the Grand Master betrayed His Majesty?!"
