Regulation starts at night

Chapter 152

Stepping into the Palace of Political Affairs, Nian Zhiyu walked first without haste, followed by the rest of them, and the two did not speak to each other.

Although the rest of the people have many questions to ask, this place is certainly not a place for gossip.

On the political hall, the holy empress, dressed in a red dress and wearing a phoenix crown, was bowing her head at the desk, looking at the memorial on the stage with her plain eyes, her eyebrows slightly raised.

Nian Zhiyu came to His Highness, looked at the face of the Holy Empress, bowed and said: "Academy disciple Nian Zhiyu has met the Holy Empress."

The holy empress looked away from the desk, looked at Nian Zhiyu who was under the stage, nodded slightly and said softly: "There is no need to be polite, the academy has been hidden all this time, what are you doing here today?"

Nian Zhiyu straightened up casually, without any intention of thanking the Holy Empress.The Holy Empress in the hall frowned slightly, and took a deep look at Nian Zhiyu.The latter did not shy away from it, and his eyes met with the Holy Empress.

His Highness Yizheng, the others raised their eyebrows, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I still have important matters at home, and I will allow you to retire first."

What others said is naturally well-founded.From the conversation between the eldest sister and the holy empress, he faintly sensed a trace of unrest.This slight unrest is not simply due to Nian Zhiyu's sloppy and rude behavior, but another matter.

Yu people have been guessing the intention of the elder sister ever since they sensed that Nian Zhiyu had entered the palace.Before outside the hall, he thought about asking, but Nian Zhiyu didn't give him a chance to ask.

It can be seen from this that the senior sister definitely did not want to involve herself in what she did in the palace this time.Since the eldest sister has this intention, no matter what the reason is, the rest of the people will obey.

It's just that if the rest of them want to step down, they have to agree with the Holy Empress.But the current Holy Empress, who was exchanging feelings with the elder sister, turned a deaf ear to his words, so he could only stay in the hall.

After a few breaths, the Holy Empress withdrew her gaze, and a smile appeared on her charming face.

She glanced at Yu who was still bowing, and said softly: "No matter what happens in the academy today, you don't need to retreat."

When the rest of the people heard the words, they could only agree to the promise, straightened up, and slowly stepped aside.

Nian Zhiyu on the other side looked at Yu Ren and shook her head in disappointment.

She shook her head and was disappointed because of the respect and humility of the others.In Nian Zhiyu's mind, there is absolutely no need for others to do so.

After all, to give birth without raising one, and to change one's life against the heavens, to sacrifice one's own son, even if it is a great kindness, the rest of us have already repaid it.

Now that Yu Ren has become famous, his own cultivation is also good, and he is relying on the big tree of the academy, as long as he wants to ascend the throne, he and others will naturally have the ability to help him sit on the throne easily.Since you can easily ascend to the throne, why should you be so humble?

Of course, despite some disappointment, Nian Zhiyu doesn't intend to interfere in other people's affairs.

After all, no matter how you look at this matter, it is also a matter between his mother and son. Before the rest of the people have spoken, no matter who it is, it is not easy to intervene in it.

"The teacher went to the Demon Race Snowfield. Before leaving, he left a mission for his disciples. My entry into the palace this time is related to this mission."

When the Holy Empress heard this, her eyes flashed, she looked at the slightly puzzled Yu Ren, and wanted to speak, but found that Nian Zhiyu didn't stop there, but continued.

"Teacher went to the Demon Race, why, I don't need to explain to my mother. As for this task, it is not what my mother thought. I came here to tell my mother that I want to enter the Tianshu Mausoleum."

The Holy Empress frowned. Although Nian Zhiyu's words relieved her worries, they added confusion to her.

"You entered the Mausoleum of Heavenly Books? With your current level of cultivation, the things in the Mausoleum of Heavenly Books are useless. Could it be that you want to meet someone? If so, then you don't need to go. Chen Changsheng went to the south."

"Of course I didn't enter Tianshu Mausoleum for third junior brother. Before the teacher left, he asked me to enter Tianshu Mausoleum to kill someone."

Speaking of this, Nian Zhiyu's mood did not fluctuate. Although there was the word "killing" in his words, there was no trace of killing intent in his body.And her words naturally aroused the confusion of the Holy Empress.

After all, how many people and who are there in Tianshu Mausoleum, she is naturally clear.It was because she was so clear that she couldn't think of who could arouse Tangning's killing intent.Could it be...

"You want to kill History?"

Nian Zhiyu showed a hint of a smile, and asked back, "I don't know if your mother agrees?"

The Holy Empress frowned, she was very dissatisfied with this answer, or rather, she couldn't figure out why the academy wanted to kill God and General History.

You know, although Shi Qing is a former demon prince, he entered the human race as early as Taizong's time.

During the war between humans and devils, history has made great contributions to the human race.History should have had infinite glory in the human race, but he, who was well aware of his life experience, asked himself to guard the mausoleum after returning to the capital of God.This guard has been guarded for more than two hundred years.

Even though his blood belongs to the demon race, everything he does is beneficial to the human race.Tangning wanted to kill him now, what was the reason behind it?

The Holy Empress did not speak, but fell into deep thought.Suddenly, the empress thought of Zhou Tong.

It's just that Zhou Tong did have a heart at that time.After being locked up and sent to prison, Mo Yu collected many secret books from his family, and it was these books that finally angered the Holy Empress and ordered him to die.

Could it be that after the history was included in the Tianshu Mausoleum, there were similar actions?

Thinking of this, the Holy Empress quickly denied it. After all, with her historical cultivation, it was impossible for her to enter and leave the Mausoleum of Heavenly Books quietly under her perception.

What's more, history doesn't have to be like this at all.

The current Demon Lord is no longer his father.The team left behind by his father has long been eradicated by the new Demon Lord.

If he is a demon, it will not be of any benefit at all.Since there is no benefit, naturally it will not be done.

If it wasn't for these, why did Tangning insist on putting history to death?

In the eyes of the Holy Empress, History is already a corpse at this moment. After all, if he offends the academy, there is no possibility of him surviving.

Even though she is the Emperor of Great Zhou, she can protect him.But if the holy empress really protects each other with all her might, then the Tang family, academy, and state religion will all be involved.

As Nian Zhiyu said, she came here only to inform her out of politeness.

Even if the Academy did not notify the Holy Empress, the Empress would not be able to do anything other than get angry.

Although the current situation of the human race is still divided into north and south, and those human races in the south have never merged into the Great Zhou, but as long as there is no disaster and the current situation continues, within two years, the north-south merger will definitely be completed.

Today's Da Zhou has stabilized, it is impossible for her to pay such a high price for a piece of history.

Seeing the calm expression on Nian Zhiyu's face, the Holy Empress frowned. Although she knew that the little girl in front of her had a very strong background and strength, the Holy Empress still wanted to beat her up.

"Niang Niang, if you have no objection, I will go to Tianshu Mausoleum right now."

As if waiting anxiously, Nian Zhiyu cupped his fists and left the hall under the 'goodwill' eyes of the Holy Empress.

The Holy Empress looked at Zhiyu's back and silently took off the hairpin, but the rest of the people said at this moment: "Your Majesty, this matter cannot be done."

The holy queen glanced at the rest of the people, and frowned at his gradually condensed real essence.

"Could it be that you want to choose to attack me for her?"

The rest of the people didn't make a sound, but the real energy on their bodies kept agitating. The Holy Empress put down her hairpin with a cold gaze.

"You are my child, and you dare to attack me for the sake of an outsider. So, has the news that I haven't announced in the past two years reached the limit you can bear?"

Yu Ren calmed down the true energy in his body, although he and Nian Zhiyu's cultivation might not be able to block the sword of the Holy Empress, but he knew that the Holy Empress could not really kill the elder sister.

From the very beginning, the rest of us knew that the elder sister would not be in danger, so he could not intervene in this matter at all.However, as an academy student, he couldn't just watch this happen.

With the attitude of the others, he naturally felt that it was not worth it to lead to the situation in front of him, but not everything in life can be measured by gains and losses.

As for the anger of the Holy Empress, the rest of them naturally knew how to deal with it.

To put out a fire, you first need to know where the fire started.And judging from the performance of the Holy Empress, this fire was very simple.

In front of my own face, my own child wants to turn against me for the sake of an outsider. No matter who it is on, it is impossible to face it calmly.More importantly, this incident happened within the royal family.

The two were originally mother and son, but because of Tangning's appearance, their established destiny has been greatly deviated.The Holy Queen accepted Yu people, and Yu people also got the opportunity to participate in the government.

As the rest of the people become more and more mature in governance, and as more and more ministers stand in line, the Holy Empress never cared, and now it is a bit tasteful, and the mother-child relationship that could not stand the test at all, only needs a hand. The fire will be kindled.

Now following the actions of the rest of the people, the fire naturally ignited.

For the holy empress who has a strong desire to control, she can give power to others, or she can entrust the country to others willingly.But she can't accept the forced choice she's making now, and it makes her feel challenged.

In the eyes of the Holy Empress, the actions of the others are tantamount to telling her: I want to seize power!

It is also for this reason that the Holy Empress asked this question.After all, although Yu Ren was born by her, she didn't raise him. She couldn't figure out Yu Ren's temperament, and naturally she couldn't understand Yu Ren's thoughts.

"Yu Ren is very grateful for His Majesty's hard work. Although His Majesty never raised me, Yu Ren's flesh and blood come from His Majesty. Yu Ren has always been grateful since he learned of his life experience."

"Two years ago, Yu Ren entered the palace, and was honored to be appreciated by His Majesty. Yu Ren was allowed to participate in the government. Yu Ren was inexplicably grateful. What Yu Ren thought in his heart was to enable the people of my Great Zhou to be hungry, have food, and be warm and clothed."

"Since the Yu people entered the government, they have been committed to various policies that benefit the people. As for the identity of the Yu people, it is up to His Highness to decide whether to declare or not. The Yu people will not have any unruly intentions."

The Holy Empress looked at the rest of the people, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said disdainfully: "What you said is high-sounding, let me ask you, if the academy, or your teacher, or the ministers persecute you, what should you do?"

The rest of the people didn't reply. In fact, this matter was not about their mother and son.One must know that the position of emperor is never something that can be decided by the royal family.If there are ministers to persecute, neither the Holy Queen nor the rest of the people can ignore it.

If it weren't for the ministers who were afraid of the power of the Holy Empress, I am afraid that the counters would have been filled with letters of advice.

Although the rest of the people were very unhappy, they couldn't deny that they had received similar notes.

As early as when he received the letter, the rest of the people suspected that there might be a behind-the-scenes pusher for this matter, and he had even guessed who the pusher was, and he also believed that the Holy Empress knew about it, otherwise how could he deliberately mention it? that person.

A person who gave birth to him, a person who raised him, and now the person who raised him seems to have lost the patience to continue waiting, how should the rest of them deal with themselves?

Keeping silent means that there is no way to answer. This also shows from the side that the rest of the people born in the present do not have the firm mind to withstand the pressure for the time being.

Perhaps, the Holy Empress had already known about his hesitation, so she took the opportunity to show her power and lead to this matter.

After all, as the sixth sage and the emperor of the human race, although she is domineering and unparalleled, she is not stingy and ignorant, so how could she get angry because of the sloppiness and rudeness of a junior with a deep background?

With the reputation of the rest of the people exploding like a tide, the Holy Empress may have thought of this situation a long time ago.

However, she was his mother after all, so how could she explode immediately when she was already in debt?

Thinking of this, Yu Ren suddenly felt physically and mentally exhausted.

Ever since he entered the academy and learned of his identity, he had intentionally or unintentionally alienated his teacher.

Although he didn't think the teacher's plan was wrong, he didn't think it was right either.

Although Yu Ren is willing to take on the future of the world, there is not only one way to go.

In particular, after he learned many truths from the principal, the rest of the people became more and more resistant to the teacher's obsession.

But no matter how alienated he was, Shang Xingzhou was always his teacher and his supporter.As long as there is such a relationship that cannot be separated and is not willing to be separated, the rest of us will face this day sooner or later.

The rest of the people looked at the Holy Empress whose expression had returned to indifference. He actually didn't like her, but he didn't dislike her either.

Compared with the illusory identity of his mother, he is more willing to accept the identity of the cold emperor of the Zhou Dynasty.

But what makes people helpless is that even if they don't want to accept it, they have to accept it, because those are established facts.The rest of us don't have the ability to change the old stories, so we can only think carefully about today's events.

"Yu Ren has been supported by his family teacher since he was a child, and he has been taught by his family teacher. Naturally, Yu people are not easy to disobey the orders of his family teacher."

Hearing these words, the Holy Empress's face was as silent as stagnant water, and the pair of eyes looking at the others, which should have been somewhat intimate, had long since lost any sense of familiarity.

Yu Ren frowned, he didn't look at the Holy Empress, but turned around and bowed in the direction of Li Palace.

In Li Palace, Shang Xingzhou, who was supposed to have everything under control, suddenly turned cold.

"Yu Ren knows that he owes the teacher a lot, but it's about the common people in the world. Even if Yu Ren bears the reputation of being unfilial, righteous and disloyal, he can't follow the teacher's wishes."

"When Yu was four years old, he was forced to enter the academy, and when he was six years old, he began to be taught by Mr. Dean's side. It has been more than ten years now. Mr. Dean's teachings, I have never forgotten."

"The rest of the people may not be the future masters of the Great Zhou, but the rest of the people will definitely be the future masters of the people of the Great Zhou."

After saying this, the rest left the Yizheng Hall in a flick of their sleeves.

In the political hall of Nuo Da, at this moment, only the Holy Empress was left looking at the boy's leaving back with scorching eyes.

As the Human Sovereign, as the true master of Great Zhou, the Holy Empress naturally understood the meaning of Yu Ren's last words.

Although those two sentences seem to have the same meaning, they represent two completely different directions.

On the other hand, Tangning and his little donkey, chased by clouds and mist, came to the border city of Da Zhou.But the guest who came after him still couldn't see him.

Liancheng, the smallest city on the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was very dilapidated due to frequent raids.

From the north city gate, there is only one main road along the entire city, and this road leads directly to the outside of Da Zhou.

After leaving the south city gate and continuing forward for a hundred miles, they reached the domain of the Demon Race Snowfield.

Looking at the dilapidated streets and alleys, Tangning unconsciously thought of Qinghe County, the border city of Tang Dynasty.However, due to the existence of Qingxia, Qinghe County is often invaded by bandits at any time, but it is difficult to see the enemy.

And Liancheng in front of him, because of Wanli Xueyuan, not only has to face the bandits, but also suffers from the demons from time to time.

This small city that should have a population of nearly one million is locked, and there are hardly any people in the streets and alleys.

Except for the occasional ordinary sergeant, it is difficult to see any figure.The little donkey stomped and stomped on the broken bluestone slabs. Its ears were raised very high, and its eyes, which were like copper bells, seemed to be more vigilant.

"I'm hungry, little guy, check if there is an inn nearby, the most important thing is to find a place to eat."

Tangning reached out her hand and touched the little donkey's head. The little donkey walked towards a group of soldiers not far ahead.

In fact, Tangning's original plan was to visit the legendary southern world after leaving Tianliang County.However, when he released his divine sense and noticed Chen Changsheng who was traveling in the south, he smiled, turned his donkey's head, and rushed straight towards Liancheng.

On the south wall of Liancheng, General Qin Yongqin, who was inspecting the defensive buildings, suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and immediately noticed a man and a donkey behind the patrolling soldiers with his sharp perception far beyond ordinary people.

Qin Yong had never met Tangning, let alone heard about that little donkey, so he was full of vigilance towards that one person and one donkey.After all, except for the sergeants who were dispatched to this city, few people were willing to set foot here.

What's more, with his cultivation level of Gathering Stars, he couldn't find out what the cultivation level of the young man on the donkey was, so how could this prevent Qin Yong from being startled.

While Qin Yong was shocked, he was also quite puzzled.Whether it is the six sages or the wind and rain in all directions, he has more or less understood it.He tried hard to search for the memory in his mind, but he couldn't find the figure of the young man.

Soon, Qin Yong's attention was attracted by another place.

It was a middle-aged man, riding a maroon horse on his crotch, and the horse rushed into Liancheng.After entering Liancheng, the red horse did not slow down, but galloped straight along the main street towards the south gate.

The speed of the war horse is not extremely fast, but it is far from being comparable to ordinary horses.

While the horses were galloping, even soldiers who had been training on horseback all year round could not overcome the problem of unstable stature, but in front of the middle-aged man, it seemed that they had never had such a predicament.The maroon war horse galloped with all its strength, but he was sitting firmly on the horse's back.

Qin Yong closed his eyes silently, trying to expand his perception.
