Krypton gold longevity: a hundred years of life at the beginning

Chapter 132 Sizheng Zhang Fengnian, criticism
early morning.

The capital of gods, the imperial palace, and the palace of immortality.

Although there was no court meeting today, the empress still left the curtain early and was already sitting in front of the desk, reading the information filtered out by the chamberlain.

The empress read quickly, even if there was something that made her frown, she just wrote a few sentences with a vermilion pen and put them aside, then opened the next book.

Whenever the empress writes, Shangguan Qingzhu, who is waiting beside her, can't help but her heart beats slightly faster. All this information was received recently this morning, and some of the content has never been read by her. The empress's behavior... It was like spot-checking her homework, just to see if she was slacking off in her usual work, which made her feel uneasy.

Every time he made an comment, Shangguan Qingzhu couldn't help but want to see the empress's expression, but he pressed down forcefully.

Although she is a Shangguan in the inner chamber outside and represents part of the majesty of the empress, but beside the real empress, she is just a little maid who can be replaced at any time. How dare she face the face of the sky!

It is precisely because of this self-knowledge that she, Shangguan Qingzhu, has stayed with the Empress for several years. Since the Empress ascended the throne, the chief officers of the Internal Affairs Department have changed several times within a year, but when it is her turn, it has been almost three years now. Already gaining more and more trust from the Empress...

Of course, being with you is like being with a tiger, and she doesn't dare to rely on this trust to do anything arrogant, at least not yet, because the fate of the previous servants in the chamber of maids has not yet left her mind.

Just like that, while she was paying attention to the surrounding movements and guessing the content of the empress's annotation of information, she suddenly heard a movement outside the door.

Looking back, a female guard was walking quickly... Shangguan Qingzhu frowned. There was no court meeting today. Generally, if there is any matter, it can be left to the Minister of Secretariat. If you need to find His Majesty directly, it must be something very important. thing.

After raising his head slightly and taking a peek, he found that the empress had no expression and seemed not to notice the movement outside. Shangguan Qingzhu quietly took a few steps back, then turned and walked out the door.

She was on duty in the Palace of Eternal Life today. She had to go out and ask what was going on first, not to see if it was worth reporting. She didn't have the guts to stop him from reporting.

However, she had to grasp the timing of the briefing, and she could not let a trivial matter disturb the empress's thoughts on processing the information.

When they arrived outside the door, the guard waiting aside first saluted, then walked up to Shangguan Qingzhu and whispered a few words.

Shangguan Qingzhu nodded after hearing this and asked the guards to wait aside. Then he quietly returned to the empress, but there was some confusion on his face...

Si Zheng from Si Tianjian, why is he here so early in the morning!
There were not many stars in the sky for them to observe this early in the morning. If there was something urgent, they should have come over last night!
Although she was confused, even if she didn't understand the sky, she still understood that Si Tian's affairs were matters that the monarch must investigate and must not be neglected.

So after hesitating for a moment, Shangguan Qingzhu took another step forward, saluted softly and said, "Your Majesty, Si Tianjian's Zhang Si is asking for an audience outside the palace, saying that he has something important to report to Your Majesty."

"Oh, he's finally here!"

From what the Empress said, it seemed as if she had known that the other party was coming.

However, the attentive Shangguan Qingzhu discovered that when the empress heard this, the red pen she was writing in her hand paused, and she even used a little force when she paused, so that a few words were painted red...

Shangguan Qingzhu's pupils shrank and he didn't dare to make any movement, for fear that he would have some abnormal reaction and make His Majesty angry.

Slightly glanced at Shangguan Qingzhu who was a little stiff beside her, a smile appeared on the corner of the Empress's mouth, and then her fingertips lightly slid across the red area, and the words returned to normal in an instant.

"Green Bamboo."

"I'm here." Shangguan Qingzhu responded quickly, and his body relaxed a little.

The empress continued to comment and said: "Go and tell the guard outside the door that I am still resting and don't dare to disturb. Let her report in a quarter of an hour."

"promise."

After Shangguan Qingzhu heard this, he quickly agreed, then stepped back a few steps, then walked outside the door and conveyed the empress's intention to the guards.

A quarter of an hour later.

"Your Majesty, the time has come. Zhang Sizheng has sent someone to report again."

"I know, let him wait for another half-quarter of an hour." The empress still looked at a book of information quietly and said without raising her head.

"promise."

Shangguan Qingzhu didn't dare to think anything of it. After hearing the order, he went to the door to convey it.

...

When the guard came to report for the third time, the empress put down the last piece of information in her hand, raised her head and said with a chuckle: "Let him come in. If you don't let him in, I'm afraid you will have a problem with me."

Who dares!
Shangguan Qingzhu shrank his head and did not dare to answer. He answered and walked out.

After a while.

Zhang Sizheng, who was wearing a second-grade purple official uniform but looked like an immortal, walked into the Hall of Eternal Life. When he saw the empress who was sitting at the desk looking at the chess records, he immediately raised his hands and saluted:

"Your Majesty, Zhang Fengnian, please greet me!"

"I'm safe." The empress put down the chess record in her hand, and said with a cold expression: "Zhang Aiqing came to the palace to see me early in the morning, and I don't know what's going on."

"Report to Your Majesty."

Zhang Fengnian bowed and said: "I watched the stars last night, and suddenly I saw Yinghuo falling to the west, and the Emperor's star suddenly disappearing... I was shocked in my heart and did not dare to make a conclusion. After another night of deduction, I dared to report to Your Majesty that there should be a big star in the northwest. If the situation changes, the situation may affect the people of the city of God. I hope your majesty will deal with it carefully and make plans in advance."

"Oh~ You mean something big has happened in the northwest, and it will even implicate my throne!"

When the empress heard this, a hint of amusement flashed in her eyes, and then she asked: "I wonder what else Zhang Qing's family has deduced. The great changes in the northwest, does it mean that the demon is going to make another big move, or does it mean that the suppression The demon army may rebel!

I am in this position because the demons ravaged Dawu and destroyed the empire?Or will the demon-suppressing army attack the divine capital and Dawu change its banner? "

Zhang Fengnian: "..."

With the great changes in the northwest, the only ones who can affect the throne are the demons and the demon-suppressing army.

The possibility of a demon is very high. After all, a big demon was discovered in the city of God some time ago. Lin'an and Qingcheng also experienced demon turmoil. The imperial court even ordered Shenwuwei and Youxiaowei to go to the northwest to support the demon-suppressing army...

If a super large-scale demon wave comes from the Demon Abyss, it is really possible to break through the blockade of the Demon Suppression City. Then the demons will be rampant in Dawu... The country will be destroyed and the king will be destroyed. The star image last night will really come true.

But Zhang Fengnian didn't dare to say that. After all, he still cherished his life. If he really told the result, he might not be able to leave the Palace of Eternal Life today to prevent leaks.

As for the rebellion of the demon-suppressing army!
Zhang Fengnian even vetoed it immediately. Others don't know the hidden power in Shendu, so Si Zhengneng, the majestic Si Tianjian, doesn't know?
No matter how arrogant his personality is, just through his daily work, he can get a glimpse of how many masters there are in the city.

Maybe the demon-suppressing army is strong, but no matter how strong they are, they can only wipe out a few northern states and counties. As long as the Shendu side can stabilize the situation, they can destroy the demon-suppressing army with half of their strength.

However, Zhang Fengnian didn't know what the empress's attitude was towards the demon-suppressing army, and he didn't dare to jump to conclusions. What if the empress wanted to use his words to announce that the demon-suppressing army was rebellious so that he could raise troops to suppress it?

Zhang Fengnian thought about it over and over again and realized that the problem was clearly that the empress had dug a hole for himself and was just waiting for him to jump into.

So, after hesitating for a while, Zhang Fengnian bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know."

"You, Si Zheng, the Si Tianjian, actually gave me this answer after calculating all night long!"

The empress looked stern, then stood up and said slightly angrily: "I don't know this, I don't know that. Tell me, what use do I need for you as the Chief of Staff! What use do I need for the Secretary of the Heavenly Supervisor?"

"I... I know that I am guilty, please punish me." Seeing the empress getting angry, Zhang Fengnian sweated slightly and quickly lowered his head and confessed.

Of course, although he seemed to be frightened, Zhang Fengnian was not really afraid in his heart. He has been working in the current position of Sizheng for five years, from the time when he was chasing ducks to the shelves to the current dawdling...

He believed that his attitude had long been seen by the empress. If possible, it would be best to give a direct order to transform himself from a second-grade official to a commoner. Although this idea would be despised by others, he I really don’t want to continue doing my current job.

Zhang Fengnian grew up in a privileged family. As the only son in the family, he had no bad habits. His biggest hobby was fishing. However, after being deceived by an old man during a night fishing trip, he became a disciple and learned the art of heaven. Everything changed. Already…

It was pretty good at first. The old man was very good at fishing. He also observed the stars at night and knew what kind of weather and what kind of bait should be used to fish in which areas. It didn’t take long for him to stop worrying about the air force... But after knowing the old man’s His true identity is Si Tianjian and Empress Si Zheng, and he is finished.

For some unknown reason, after the empress ascended the throne, the old man was imprisoned in the Star Tower, and his apprentice was forcibly recruited into the court, where he immediately rose to the top and became the second-grade Si Tianjian's Sizheng.

Unfortunately, the old man did teach him a lot about the art of secrets, but due to his hobby of fishing, he only paid more attention to the weather.

As for deduction, does it count if you can know whether the fish situation will be good or bad tomorrow?
From a fisherman to a second-rank official, it was really embarrassing for him. If he was not afraid that the empress would kill him in a fit of anger, he would have resigned from office long ago.

As for trying to rescue the old man!
That was something I had never thought about.

After knowing the other party's identity, he parted ways with the other party.

The higher the status, the greater the trouble. He is the most afraid of trouble and wants to avoid it as much as possible. If he had known the old man's true identity earlier, he would not have become his disciple even if he was beaten to death.

Unexpectedly, he couldn't escape in the end. It was good that he didn't resent the old man for bringing him into this whirlpool, so how could he find a way to save him!
It's too much trouble.

...

Seeing Zhang Fengnian being scolded and punished like this, even the Empress suddenly lost her temper.

In the eyes of the empress, although this guy usually lives his life, he is still somewhat capable in studying solar terms. As his name suggests, the people plant and harvest according to his solar terms, and the harvest is good every year...

This was definitely a great contribution to the Wu Dynasty. If the intelligence hadn't pointed out that this guy fished all night last night, she wouldn't have left him out for so long before.

Why did the deduction last all night... Haha, it took a whole night to catch the fish. I didn’t want to delay the fish situation, so I didn’t report it!
It was precisely because she knew what the other party was thinking that the empress softened her tone and said softly: "Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't know. There are other people in the world who know. You can go and ask him for advice."

"Who…"

Zhang Fengnian was overjoyed after hearing this. He wondered if there was anyone else who knew the art of heavenly secrets. If he could dig the other party to Si Tianjian, he would be able to go home!

But he suddenly felt something was wrong. He remembered that the old man told him that the art of Tianji was always passed down by a single line. He had never taught anyone else, and the old man's master had died long ago, so...

After realizing who the empress was referring to, Zhang Fengnian's face immediately collapsed and he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, do you want me to go to the Star Tower to question Mr. Jiang?"

Seeing the other party's expression, the empress, who knew the inside story, did not feel strange. She just nodded and said: "Yes, you are also a master and apprentice after all, so it's time to go and see him. I think after these few years of painstaking cultivation, his The art of Tianji has become even more powerful, so you should just go and learn it."

Concentrate on cultivation!

You have imprisoned him for eating and drinking, how can you not devote yourself to cultivation?

As for learning the art of Tianji, forget it. He wouldn't even have time to hide. The more powerful he learned, the faster he would die. He didn't want to shorten his life.

After listening to the words of the empress, Zhang Fengnian, although he was full of dissatisfaction in his heart, still responded on the surface: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will go to the Star Tower to ask Mr. Jiang now, I will tell you first..."

"and many more."

The empress stopped Zhang Fengnian, who was about to resign, and said, "Please bring me a few words. Three months ago, someone observed the stars at night. He once said that when all the demons appear, the world will be opened again." At that time, those who save sentient beings can save their own bodies, and only after going through reincarnation can they be eternal...

You ask him what these words mean and what did he see?
Also, ask him if he is willing to make a bet with me on whether I can double the territory of Dawu within three years. If I can do it, he will give me what I want. Otherwise, I set him free. "

This...there is a lot of meaning in these words!
After hearing what the empress wanted him to take, Zhang Fengnian was stunned for a while.

Listen to the meaning behind these words, since the information I got from watching the stars last night was deduced by someone three months ago?
Who is this person?

I'm afraid he's even better than the old man!

Isn’t it true that no one except myself and the old man knows the art of heaven?
What do those sentences mean?
Also, the empress wants to make a bet with the old man. What does the old man want that the empress wants?
Although there were many doubts in his heart, Zhang Fengnian did not dare to think too much at this time. Seeing that the empress did not explain anything further, he quickly bowed and responded: "Your Majesty, I have remembered it. I will go to the Star Tower to ask Mr. Jiang now."

"Well, back off."

The empress returned to her previous aloof look, nodded slightly and said, "I've already told you, the guards over there won't stop you."

"Yes, I retire."

...

After Zhang Fengnian left the Palace of Eternal Life, the empress looked at the sky for a while, then suddenly called Shangguan Qingzhu and said, "Qingzhu, how is the cleaning plan arranged?"

Cleansing plan, the name is really too straightforward, it doesn't sound good at all.

After complaining in his mind, Shangguan Qingzhu stepped forward and replied: "Your Majesty, except for some details that still need to be polished, the general plan has been fully deployed."

It's still a little bit worse!
The empress frowned slightly after hearing this, then moved the jade hand in her sleeve lightly, and after thinking for a while, she said: ""I will give you another ten days. After ten days, regardless of whether it is perfected or not, the cleaning plan must be launched.

When the time comes, remember to inform the generals of the Twelve Guards and let them control their own armies. Don't let me take action myself. "

"promise."
