The skill is broken, I am stronger

"Today, someone said that Wan Yulou stole the imperial gunpowder. That's why Dugong Liu came to check. He must have smashed Wan Yulou's conspiracy, so he was killed."

The two accused each other, and Wang Wu and Jia Liu looked at each other and smiled.

Wei Ziyun was suffering from a headache, it was difficult for him to judge this matter, so he could only ask His Majesty to rule.

But both of them seem to have mentioned Lin Lang, Commander of Jinyiwei, if only this one could be there.

How does it feel, it seems that Dongchang and Xichang are going to kill Lin Lang, but why are they dead?

.

Chapter 254 Not enough manpower, can we have non-staff personnel?

Royal study.

Emperor Daming was wearing casual clothes, and his face was very ugly.

Just now he was more happy with Concubine Yan, when suddenly he heard a loud noise, which almost made him wind up immediately.

The eunuch on duty at night told him that there was a soaring fire in the west of the capital.

This almost made him think that some rebels had entered the capital, and immediately sent Wei Ziyun, the commander of the Jinwu Guard, to take people to check, and at the same time called Zhang Banban to his side.

After learning that there were no rebels, but that the gunpowder magazine of the Firearms Supervisor exploded, the Emperor of Ming came to the Imperial Study Room to find out what was going on.

The firearms of Ming Dynasty are stronger than those of other countries, which is also the basis for Ming Dynasty to occupy the Central Plains.

If there were no firearms, Ming's military strength would be greatly weakened.

When Wei Ziyun came to the Imperial Study Room, the Emperor Ming hurriedly asked, "Wei Qing's family, what happened? Why did the Firearms Supervisor have an accident? Why didn't the Supervisor come?"

He, the emperor, came to the imperial study room in the middle of the night, what happened to Jiancheng going to the palace in the middle of the night to meet the saint?

Wei Ziyun lowered his head: "Your Majesty, the Firearms Supervisor was poisoned to death. I'm not sure whether he committed suicide by taking poison or was poisoned to death."

"The place where the explosion happened was a secret warehouse of the Firearms Supervision. It was located in a place in the west where there are few people. Fortunately, there were not too many casualties, and the fire has been extinguished."

The Emperor Daming breathed a sigh of relief. There were no rebels, and there were not too many casualties. It was finally a blessing in misfortune.

"What the hell is going on, did someone steal the gunpowder?"

Wei Ziyun: "Your Majesty, I don't know. But I also saw the corpses of the East Factory and West Factory Supervisors at the scene."

The Emperor Daming stood up suddenly and stared at Wei Ziyun: "Say it again?"

He didn't care that the inspector of the Firearms Supervision was dead, he just needed to be replaced. Anyway, the Firearms Supervision was more important to those craftsmen, and it was enough to hand it over to Dongxi No. [-] Factory to find out the reason.

What should be caught, what should be killed!

But now Wan Yulou and Liu Xi are both dead, these are the two most important pawns in his hand, without them, his control over the court will inevitably decline rapidly.

Wei Ziyun said again: "Your Majesty, the two governors of Dongchang and Xichang are both dead, and their bodies are outside the hall."

"In addition to the minister, I also saw the big stalls from the East Factory and the West Factory, as well as the two thousand household officials from Jinyiwei. Your Majesty will know when he summons them."

The two stalls of Dongchang and Xichang came in and listed all the "evidence" they had prepared in advance, and even prepared witnesses, saying that they were framed by the other party.

But both of them were very smart not to mention the matter of Jin Yiwei.

The person covering their heads was gone, and if they offended Lin Lang, the Commander of Jin Yiwei, at this time, they really wanted to be buried with the two factory supervisors.

Wang Wu and Jia Liu only said that they heard the movement, and rushed over with a few men, and planned to leave when they learned that they had nothing to do with the Jianghu people. They didn't know anything else.

It was definitely not Lin Lang who arranged for them to go there. The two of them hadn't seen Lin Lang after dinner today, nor had they seen anyone in Lin Lang's mansion.

After everyone had gone out, the Emperor Daming looked at the screen: "Zhang Banban, what do you think of this matter, is it true that Wan Yulou and Liu Xi plotted against each other, and ended up together?"... Zhang Banban walked from behind the screen Come out: "Your Majesty, neither Wan Yulou nor Liu Xi will have the guts to kill each other by force. Moreover, this old slave also knows that they have met secretly many times before, and they seem to be discussing to deal with someone together."

Wan Yulou and Liu Xi are both eunuchs who are in charge of ceremonies and hold pens, and there is only one eunuch with palm seal, so it is definitely not the eunuch with palm seal that they want to join forces to deal with, so there is another yamen or person that both of them are afraid of. It goes without saying.

The Emperor Daming firmly grasped the paperweight in his hand: "You mean, they originally planned to join forces to deal with Lin Lang?"

Are these two crazy for power and profit?With Lin Lang dead, who will frighten the world?

Do you still want to have another incident where people from the rivers and lakes broke into the capital and made a fuss about entering the palace to face the saint?

Although Lin Lang didn't recruit the Sun Moon Demon Cult as he thought, and the Northern Shaolin and Wudang sects didn't obey orders, but at least Lin Lang's presence can make those Jianghu sects dare not be presumptuous, and occasionally can inquire into some other countries. Jianghu affairs, and then deduce some trends of other courts.

The last time the Prince of Dali came over, if it wasn't for Lin Lang, both he and Daming Chaotang would have been completely humiliated.

He was a little annoyed at Lin Lang, but he needed Lin Lang. How dare Wan Yulou and Liu Xi do this!

What made him even more puzzled was that since Wan Yulou and Liu Xi joined forces, how could they die together?

The goal has not been accomplished yet, so you won't do it because of the uneven distribution of spoils, right?

What does the gunpowder explosion have to do with the two of them?

Zhang Banban lowered his head: "Your Majesty, if they want to kill the commander of Jinyiwei, they always need a scapegoat. If they can kill the other party, and then set the blame, they can get away and their power will be greatly improved."

"It's just that the old slave can't figure out why they didn't kill Lin Lang first. They must have something to hide from His Majesty. The old slave will send someone to investigate."

The Emperor Daming sighed: "This matter needs to be investigated, so who will be in charge of the East Factory and the West Factory now?"

The Bingbi eunuchs of the Supervisor of Rituals are gone, even if Zhang Banban is in charge of one, what about the other?

He also needs guards around him, relying on those little eunuchs?

Zhang Banban didn't say a word, he would not recommend candidates, let His Majesty consider it himself.

The Emperor Daming waved his hand and asked Zhang to accompany him down, and he was also in deep thought.

It seems that we can only choose suitable people from the chief eunuchs of other supervisors, and the East Factory and the West Factory cannot disappear.

Especially Xichang, he and Liu Xi had already planned to take action against the top ten generals in the border town, and at the beginning of next month, they would all be arrested, and their replacements had already been selected.

But now that Liu Xi is dead, who will carry out the plan?

The death of these two eunuchs disrupted many of his plans, and also reduced his control over the court.

Candidates for the two key positions must be selected carefully, otherwise they will be incompetent and powerful, and things will definitely be ruined.

So during this period of time, without the two factories, how can the powerful officials in the court restrain them?

Jin Wuwei and other guards can't deter those courtiers. It seems that apart from Zhang Banban, there is only one person who can do it.

……

Early in the morning, while Lin Lang was still meditating, he heard the housekeeper knocking on the door: "Master, someone from the palace asked you to go to the imperial study." Lin Lang opened the door and called to the imperial study early in the morning , It seems that something big happened.

He changed into a python robe, entered the palace, and arrived at the imperial study with ease.

"Lin Aiqing is here, come and give me a seat."

The Emperor Ming was very enthusiastic at this time, and only the elder Ge could be given a seat when he came here before, and everyone else stood.

"Lin Aiqing, do you know what happened last night?"

Lin Lang looked very curious: "Is it the gunpowder explosion last night? Didn't it mean that the deployment of new artillery accidentally exploded? There were a lot of casualties? I would like to donate half a year's salary."

Anyway, he never paid much attention to that little salary, and it was not worth as much as a piece of clothing.

The Emperor Ming looked into Lin Lang's eyes: "Last night, not only the firearms supervisor's warehouse exploded, Wan Yulou and Liu Xi both died."

"Those two old... old eunuchs are dead?" Lin Lang suppressed a smile, "Hey, how did this happen, was it accidental or man-made?"

Emperor Daming was dumbfounded, did this really have nothing to do with Lin Lang?

Otherwise, Lin Lang would either say that he didn't know, or that he had a good relationship with them. It shouldn't be this expression, this attitude, right?

"I have already sent someone to investigate this matter again. This time I have called you over, and there is one more thing I want to leave to you, or Jin Yiwei."

"I'm going to restore Jin Yiwei's power to inspect all officials. Maybe Lin Aiqing will take on this important task?"

Lin Lang shook his head quickly: "Not right."

"Jin Yiwei has already found it very difficult to deal with Jianghu sects. A few days ago, they discovered a large sect, Tianqinmen, with hundreds of people, and finally expelled them."

"There must be other hidden Jianghu sects. Jinyiwei must investigate and manage them. Especially the Sun Moon God Sect, Wudang Sect, and Northern Shaolin. These three factions may attack at any time. Jinyiwei must not relax."

"There are East Factory and West Factory, enough to deter all officials."

Emperor Daming was stunned. If others heard that he was giving power, they would not agree immediately. Why did they push it away when they came to Lin Lang?

Lin Lang really doesn't love power!

"The affairs of the rivers and lakes can be put aside first, and the affairs of the court are more important."

"Even if the East Factory and the West Factory elect new factory supervisors, I will not take back Jin Yiwei's power."

Fearing that Lin Lang would not be dedicated, Emperor Daming made another promise.

"I obey the order." Lin Lang reluctantly agreed.

Sometimes power does not need to be fought for, it will naturally fall into the hands.

Moreover, it was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty who took the initiative to say that the affairs of the Jianghu were put aside for the time being, so the Sun Moon God Sect would no longer have to worry about conflicts with the imperial court.

With more time to develop and grow, and slowly surpass the North Shaolin and Wudang sect.

When the Emperor Daming saw Lin Lang agreeing, he was also relieved.

At least now someone helped him consolidate the imperial power, but he was still worried that Lin Lang would leave.

After all, Lin Lang was alone, just like Li Xunhuan back then, he could hang his seal and leave at any time.

If this kind of thing happens again, it will be even more difficult for the imperial court to recruit masters of the rivers and lakes.

"Lin Aiqing, don't you want to carry on the family line of your Lin family and spread the branches and leaves?"

Lin Lang looked righteous and dignified: "The world is not fair, why do you call yourself home?"... "We will talk about this matter when I get old."

He won't grow old, Ni·Eight Desolation Liuhe Sovereign Art can make him rejuvenate, and he is in the realm of heaven and man, and he is proficient in horizontal martial arts, so his body ages much slower than ordinary people.

It seems that the emperor still wants to marry Yunluo to him.

There are so many people who want to marry him. It's not fair for him to marry anyone or not. It's better to be like this now.

Others can only hold one woman in their hearts, but he is different, he can hold many, and there are still many empty places.

The Emperor Ming suddenly asked: "Lin Aiqing, can I practice martial arts and become a master of martial arts?"

If he knows martial arts, many problems can be easily solved. He can go out of the palace to visit some places in person, manage the world better, and don't have to worry about being assassinated easily.

Lin Lang thought for a while: "Should it be possible? Didn't the emperors of all dynasties in Dali practice martial arts? I just don't know why. After practicing, they all became monks. I heard that the current emperor of Dali also has this intention. He plans to leave in two years. Pass on to Duan Yu, follow the example of their ancestors and go to Tianlong Temple to become a monk."

Emperor Ming: "???"

In fact, he also asked the eunuchs around him, such as Zhang Banban, but they all said that he was too old to practice martial arts, and it was difficult to achieve much, and he had to spend a lot of energy and even abstinence.

And since I can remember, I have countless homework every day. In addition to poetry and songs, I also need to learn the art of emperors. Supervisory officials are all part of the imperial power.

He wanted to practice martial arts, but the palace didn't allow him at all, they just let him learn simple riding and shooting.

Those courtiers did not object, especially those elders, but he also knew that those elders hoped that he would not even go out of the palace, so that they could join forces to control the government.

What's more, he doesn't even have an heir now, if he wants to abstain from sex because of martial arts, it will destabilize the court.

Lin Lang actually wanted to say that Emperor Ming wanted to practice martial arts, it was very simple.

With his move, he could easily help Emperor Daming open up the eight extraordinary meridians, and pass some true energy to Emperor Daming, ensuring that the other party would become a pinnacle master.

But it can only be a pinnacle master, and in fact, forcibly opening up the eight extraordinary meridians can be regarded as overdrawing potential and overdrawing life span.

And not everyone has enough deep and pure zhenqi to help people do this.

If that old eunuch surnamed Zhang did this, and someone suddenly interrupted him while opening his meridians, then the Emperor of Ming Dynasty might belch straight away, and the old eunuch's ancestral grave would have to be dug up.

So, he won't do this kind of thing for the time being, and it won't do any good to help the little emperor.

"Forget it, let Lin Aiqing go out, there will be a decree coming to Jinyiwei to command the envoy tomorrow."

Seeing Lin Lang leave, Emperor Daming sighed. Even Lin Lang said there was nothing he could do. It seemed that he could only practice Ba Duan Jin and other exercises to strengthen his body.

Wait, something is wrong.

Yunluo was not a few years younger than him, and he had asked Zhang Banban before that Yunluo's martial arts were very ordinary, similar to those ordinary big inner guards, and he was second-rate at the top of the world.

But the last time we met, Zhang Banban seemed to say that Yun Luo's martial arts had improved so fast that he could be called a master in the world. ...So, Lin Lang has a way to make him learn martial arts and become a master of martial arts.

He doesn't want to improve as fast as Yunluo, and if he spends one-tenth of Yunluo's time practicing martial arts, he can become a master in ten years, right?

At that time, he was only about 30 years old, and he was in his prime.

What's more, he still has many palace secret medicines, and even the best skills in the palace arsenal, so he may not be unable to become a master.
