Chapter 107 Don't Like Overnight Enmity
Da Chu, Shoucheng.

Above the court hall, the ministers on both sides stood straight and very quiet.

Not far away, two guards dragged a frightened minister out of the court. In the entire hall, no one dared to speak. Only the minister who was dragged down shouted that he was wronged.

The courtiers looked at the leading old man with a dark face, who was none other than the Minister of Punishment of Da Chu, Mr. Ji from the Ji family.

Since he started to take over and inspect the court, this is the eighth instance like today, and all of this happened in just a few days.

The Ji family has a strict family tradition, which is known to everyone. Especially under the recommendation of Zhang Nanli, the powerful Minister of Household Affairs at that time, this trend of investigation has been unimpeded.

Zhang Nanli returned to Beijing. He had just spoken a lot to the Queen Mother in front of the courtiers, mainly conveying the wishes of Mr. Lin.

However, the Queen Mother cannot agree to many things, otherwise she will lose the imperial authority, so Zhang Nanli will stand up tactfully at this time, changing the tone of her words in a roundabout way. In the end, it becomes the Queen Mother bearing the humiliation and serving the country. The people are...

The courtiers were all smart people, and they all acquiesced without saying a word.

For them, it is naturally a good thing for Mengzhou and Qingzhou to withdraw their troops. Even if they give up [-]% of the Lingshi mine, the Lingshi mine is of great significance to the royal family and can cultivate more masters, but for them , but it doesn’t mean much, because there is no great master in the clan, and there are too many spiritual stones, but they are still worried about it. Maybe one day the knife of this investigation will fall on their heads. Besides, the royal family also They will not be allowed to have great masters born in the human race. If they really have that intention, they should almost die.

What they are thinking about now is just to stabilize their position in the court and protect their family. There is nothing more to worry about.

Zhang Nanli glanced at the reactions of the courtiers and found that everyone was calm and their eyes did not waver. He was a little disappointed. There were all the courtiers in the hall, but no one had the ambition to make progress. It was only a matter of time before such a great Chu was completely defeated. He thought Back then, no matter how hard the late emperor suppressed him, there were quite a few people secretly developing things behind his back...

However, when he thought of little Ali who had returned to the palace, he cheered up again. He saw hope in little Ali. Now that his majesty's physical condition was getting worse day by day, he would one day die with the late emperor. It is only a matter of time before Li Xiao Ali pretends to be His Majesty and ascends the throne. When the time comes, it is not impossible for him to assist him and change some situations.

In particular, little Ali spent some time in Qin Mansion in Jiangzhou. Whether it was with Mr. Lin or Qin Hua and Qin Tian's sister and brother, they had some kind of friendship. As long as he had these bonds, he could find ways to deepen and change them. .

"Since you have no objections, then just do as Master Zhang said."

The Queen Mother's voice rang in the court. Zhang Nanli came back to his senses and bowed quickly: "I obey the decree."

The officials in the audience also responded, and the little emperor continued to cough slightly, his eyes still confused.

The Queen Mother behind the curtain looked at the lifeless court, her eyes flashed with disappointment, and her face showed weariness. She had tried hard for so long, but she still couldn't change anything. As for the ministers in the hall, there were not many people she could count on. .

"Retreat from the court, Mr. Zhang will come with me."

The Queen Mother waved her hand, and the officials immediately and respectfully retreated. Only Zhang Nanli stayed, and was led by the chamberlain to the Queen Mother's palace.

They were heavily guarded along the way. When they arrived at the inner room, Zhang Nanli saw little Ali at a glance.

"It's not easy for this little girl to have suffered so much outside."

Listening to what the most noble woman in Dachu said, Xiao Ali who was sitting there and Zhang Nanli who was standing aside lowered their heads slightly, suddenly feeling very ironic. "The imperial doctor said that Ying'er won't be able to survive for a few more days. In the past few days, A-li will learn more and observe your brother's usual words and deeds."

The Queen Mother leaned on the phoenix chair, leaned sideways, and squinted her eyes.

"How can I learn if you don't even let me see him?" Xiao Ali was still sitting there with a cold tone.

The Queen Mother didn't care and said with a smile: "A Li is so smart, a few days will be enough. You siblings will meet soon."

"Thank you very much for allowing my brother to meet me before he dies."

Xiao Ali's tone was a bit harsh. Zhang Nanli wanted to remind him, but after thinking about it, he held it back and stood there without saying a word, as if he didn't hear anything.

The Queen Mother opened her eyes slightly, glanced at Zhang Nanli, and finally glanced at Xiao Ali, half-smiling but not smiling: "The little girl is very resentful. After all, I am also your grandma. We haven't seen you for so many years, so you should be polite. If you really have an opinion against me, then govern this country well. When one day, you feel you can do it, come back to me and say it. Otherwise, if you say too much now, I will only make me hate you. If I feel bored, I might depose you one day and support a member of the royal family to come up again."

Little Ali said nothing, lowered his head again, looked at the ground, and remained silent.

Zhang Nanli stood below, thought for a while, and said: "Queen Mother, Your Highness has been staying in the Qin Mansion these days, and the relationship with the Qin Mansion is well managed."

One sentence directly made the anger and murderous intention in the Queen Mother's heart disappear a lot, and her eyes lit up: "How good is that?"

Zhang Nanli thought for a moment and said, "His Royal Highness often sits with Grandmaster Lin and talks and laughs."

Speaking of this, Zhang Nanli recalled in his mind the scene of Xiao Ali and Lin Huaian sitting on the wall of the courtyard, eating fruit. Although they were not talking and laughing, there were probably not many people in the world who could sit on the wall with the great master. ?It’s probably not too much to say that we have a good relationship...

The Queen Mother didn't know why, but her eyelids twitched, and then she closed her eyes again: "That's pretty good. This girl was brought back by Mr. Zhang himself. In the next few days, Mr. Zhang will teach her personally."

Zhang Nanli chuckled: "Old minister, I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

……

At the junction of Jiangzhou and Yangzhou, Baiyun Mountain.

Dressed in white, he appeared at the foot of the mountain and walked up the mountain path. It was Lin Huaian himself. He didn't like overnight vendettas. The Demon Cult assassinated him in front of so many people on Gulan Street. This feud was finally forged.

Baiyun Mountain is the headquarters of the Demon Cult, which is closer to Yangzhou.

Many people know that the Demon Cult is a group of paranoid lunatics, but they are not stupid, not everyone will provoke them, the objects they provoke are all existences that they think they can handle, and among the nine great masters, only It's just that they offended a Wang Jue, but there was a reason for it. They needed the cultivation method.

But later, according to their guess, the cultivation method should have been taken away by the great master named Lin Huaian. They had been planning for so many years, but the meat they got was gone again. Naturally, they couldn't bear this. This time, they got a self-proclaimed immortal disciple. He got help from an expert, so he got bold and went to Jiangzhou to assassinate Grandmaster Lin. The result was a terrible end...
