Chapter 67
Kamui year.

News came from the rivers and lakes that the new emperor Zhu Wushi canonized Zhenren Zhang of Wudang Mountain as the true monarch of Qingxu Yuanmiao.

For this matter, Wudang Mountain Zhang Zhenren never made any response.

He does not accept the award, nor does he refuse the award.

Maintaining the status quo.

Faced with this situation, Zhu ignored it and didn't think there was anything wrong.

For him, Zhang Zhenren did not expressly reject the reward, that is the best response.

And after canonizing Zhang Zhenren, Zhu Wushi sent a plaque written by the imperial pen to Shaolin Temple.

Daming First Temple.

Compared with Wudang Mountain, which had no reaction, Shaolin Temple's reaction was much more real.

Master Fang Zheng personally accepted the plaque.

Zhu Wu was very satisfied with Shaolin Temple's reaction.

Those who know the current affairs are handsome.

As a major representative of the Great Ming Rivers and Lakes, Shaolin Temple would naturally erect a striking banner for the entire Rivers and Lakes since it was willing to accept the imperial court's reward.

The matter about Shaolin Wudang being rewarded by the imperial court soon caused waves in the world.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhu ignored his ascension to the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and he is already sitting on the beauty of the world.

But what Zhu ignores is not just the country and the rule of the people.

He also wants to unify the scattered rivers and lakes and achieve true unification of the world!
In Wudang Mountain, there is Zhang Zhenren sitting in the town, and his status is detached among the rivers and lakes.

Shaolin Temple is famous all over the world.

After these two representative Jianghu sects acquiesced and accepted Zhu Wushi's rule, other Jianghu sects, large and small, naturally knew what to do.

In just half a month, Shangguan Haitang, who now sits at the Hulong Villa, has received posts from 76 sects, large and small.

The contents of these posts are similar, and without exception, they all express their submission to the imperial court.

After half a month, there are not many forces in the world that have not made a clear statement to the court.

……

Seven Heroes Town, Tongfu Inn.

After the deserted few days of the New Year, when the Shangyuan Festival passed, the Tongfu Inn became lively again.

Huo Yin also hung up the signboard again and opened it for fortune-telling.

On this day, many people from the rivers and lakes came to the Tongfu Inn, and there were many discussions about the imperial court's recruitment of all parties from the rivers and lakes.

Many of them asked Huo Yin for his opinion on this matter.

Huo Yin shook his head without making any comments.

His current position for himself is that of a fortune teller.

If one day the recruitment order that Zhu ignored falls on him, then it will not be too late for him to respond to it.

And just when Huo Yin was thinking this way, there was a sudden sound of beating gongs and drums outside.

When everyone heard the movement from outside, they stopped talking and looked out of the door curiously.

Soon, a figure rushed in from outside the door.

"Young Master Huo, Young Master Huo!"

Catcher Xing walked quickly to Huo Yin's side, and whispered, "You are from the imperial court, and here comes your reward!"

After saying this, Xing Butou ran towards the backyard in a hurry.

He was able to inform Huo Yin one step in advance, and it was extremely difficult for Huo Yin to be mentally prepared, so he had to hide quickly.

When Huo Yin heard what Xing Tutou said, he couldn't help showing a strange look on his face.

Earlier, he was still thinking about Zhu's ignorance of the various forces in Zhao'an, but he didn't expect that he would eat melons in a blink of an eye.

Thinking of this, Huo Yin glanced at the people around him, and said: "If you don't want to die, go now, if you don't go now, you won't have a chance later."

The people who originally wanted to see the excitement were stunned for a moment when they heard Huo Yin's words, and then ran outside in a hurry. In the blink of an eye, all the people in the lively inn ran away.

Huo Yin glanced at shopkeeper Tong and Lao Bai again, and said, "You guys should hide too."

Shopkeeper Tong and Lao Bai immediately walked towards the backyard with interest after hearing the words.

They know full well that it's best not to get involved in the next thing.

There are some things that Huo Yin can bear, but they may not be able to bear them!
Just after Huo Yin dispersed everyone in the inn, a young eunuch walked into the inn from the outside.

He walked up to Huo Yin with a smile on his face, cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Huo, congratulations, Mr. Huo."

Huo Yin looked at the little eunuch, smiled slightly, and asked, "Is this father-in-law going to give me some fortune money?"

Hearing this, the little eunuch immediately responded: "What our family wants to give Mr. Huo is something better than Guajin!"

At this time, the sound of gongs and drums outside was getting closer, and the little eunuch said with a smile on his face: "When our family finishes reading the imperial decree, Mr. Huo can hang up the plaque of the world's number one fortune teller written by the imperial pen! What about Guangzong Yaozu!"

Huo Yin shook his head and said, "It's better not to read the imperial decree."

The little lady overheard Huo Yin's words, and the smile on her face froze immediately.

Huo Yin continued: "I'm just a fortune-teller, I don't want to be an official, and I can't accept any rewards. Let others do such things as Guangzong Yaozu."

The little eunuch smiled reluctantly and said, "Young Master Huo, don't make things difficult for our family."

If Huo Yin really rejects this reward, maybe nothing will happen to Huo Yin, but something will happen to him!

Huo Yin shook his head, and said to the little eunuch: "Don't treat yourself badly on the way back, eat more good ones."

When the little lady overheard Huo Yin saying this, her face immediately turned down.

Long before coming here, he was already mentally prepared.

Because everyone knew that Huo Yin would not accept the imperial court's reward lightly, no matter who came here, once he messed up the errand, he would definitely lose his head.

So this task was pushed back and forth, and finally it fell on him.

It was also because he knew that this task was difficult, so he didn't come with the team, but came alone to check out Huo Yin's tone.

Otherwise, if Huo Yin refuses after the team comes with drums and gongs and he reads out the imperial decree, then the matter will become a big mess!
Right now, the imperial decree has not been read out, and the team has not arrived yet, so there is still room for turning around.

Huo Yin looked at the little eunuch's desperate face, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, go back, you don't need to tell him this."

The little eunuch was slightly taken aback when he heard this.

He didn't quite understand the meaning of Huo Yin's last sentence, but he was not in the mood to ask more questions now, turned around and walked outside with a sad face.

Outside the inn.

The festive team with gongs and drums, led by the little eunuch, passed the Tongfu Inn, and walked all the way to the west of the city. Judging from the meaning, it seemed that they planned to leave the city directly.

Everyone outside the inn was full of question marks when they saw this scene.

What's happening here?
Come here in a lively manner, and then leave in a lively manner, just come in and walk around?

They saw that little eunuch running into the Tongfu Inn with their own eyes before, and they thought it was the imperial court wanting to reward Huo Yin.

Could it be that they were wrong?
Or... Huo Yin rejected the imperial court's reward? !
……

Three days later.

In the imperial study room, Zhu Wushi, who was dressed in a dragon robe, sat at the table, looked calmly at the trembling little eunuch, and said calmly, "Repeat what Huo Yin said word for word."

Zhu Wushi was not surprised that Huo Yin would refuse the reward.

Long before the little eunuch came back, he had already received the information.

Huo Yin dispersed everyone, and no one witnessed Huo Yin's refusal of the imperial court's reward, and the rewarding team did not enter the Tongfu Inn.

This also allows some room for buffering between them, so that they won't tear their skins apart immediately.

For this result, Zhu ignores it is barely acceptable.

All he wanted to know now was how Huo Yin responded back then.

Hearing this, the little eunuch immediately said exactly what Huo Yin had said to him before, except for the last sentence.

Zhu ignored the little eunuch's retelling, remained silent for a while, and then said: "He asked you to eat something good on the way back, don't treat yourself badly?"

The little eunuch nodded slightly, with a worried expression on his face.

The meaning of Huo Yin's words is obvious, that is, he has messed up his errand, and he will definitely lose his head this time.

If you eat something good on the road, it's time to kill your head!
Zhu Wushi looked at the little eunuch meaningfully, and said, "Go down."

The little lady was taken aback when she heard Zhu Wushi's words, and then a look of surprise appeared on her face.

Immediately, he ignored Zhu and saluted, with an uncontrollable joy on his face, and quickly said: "Your servant will leave!"
