I have an altar of luck

"Is there anything more to say now?"

Yang Guifei asked back.

Chen Yuan closed his eyes, heaved a sigh of relief, nodded solemnly and said:

"Forget it, since the empress has been suffering from persistent illnesses all year round, I have no choice but to help the empress with all her strength, and try my best to help the empress solve her problems."

Yang Guifei giggled, covered her mouth and chuckled:

"This is the envoy Chen Qing who dared to contradict me, man, there is nothing to twitch, I am not afraid, what are you afraid of?"

"Ha ha."

Chen Yuan smiled.

He has never been an upright gentleman. Although he is devoted to the Tao, the Tao and the Tao are always figured out, and it is not a violation of the idea.

Seeing that Chen Yuan had figured it out, Concubine Yang immediately grabbed his hand and said in a low voice:

"You...you...can you slap me a few times first?"

"What did the lady say?"

Chen Yuan almost thought he heard it wrong.

"Hit... slap me a few times."

To be honest, this was the first time Chen Yuan had heard of such a request.

It's kind of true.

"really?"

"let's hit."

Chen Yuan looked at Concubine Yang who was stretching her face, and squinted his eyes. Naturally, he couldn't go against the woman's wishes, so he immediately raised his hand and it was a big blow.

"Snapped."

A crisp slap sounded.

……

……

The palace, in the imperial study.

The whole hall was brightly illuminated by the lights.

Unlike usual, Jingtai did not deal with government affairs. Instead, he held his hands behind his back and stared at the spring picture he had just drawn. Summer is coming, and spring is full of vigor.

For some reason, he felt a little inexplicably irritated in his heart, so he subconsciously wrote.

Looking at the green grass in the painting, Jingtai was quite satisfied. He was already good at painting Taoism, and if he hadn't become an emperor, he would definitely be an outstanding Taoist painting master.

"rustle……"

Cao Zhengxian, the governor of the imperial factory, who was dressed in a black official uniform, slowly walked up to him and bowed:

"The old minister has seen His Majesty."

Jingtai shifted his gaze, looked up at the person in front of him, and nodded slightly:

"How are things going?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the focus of attention in the capital has now fallen on Chen Yuan, and there are relatively few mentions of the resignation of the governor."

Cao Zhengxian said truthfully.

Some people did not think wrongly, Jingtai was indeed planning some things behind the scenes, to gradually take back the power into his hands, and then do big things later.

But he didn't want things to be too publicized, so that Cao Zhengxian could guide the wind.

"That's good."

Jingtai said lightly.

"Your Majesty's methods are indeed superior to those of the emperors, and even the power of the governor can be withdrawn. The old minister admires it." Cao Zhengxian's words are really not a lie.

He did not expect that His Majesty would have such means.

It is not a trivial matter to be able to say that Gu Tianqiong, the governor of Tongda, gave up the rights of the Sky Survey Division. He couldn't even guess what method Jingtai used.

A simple reward is not enough.

Therefore, he really admires him now.

When Jingtai heard this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Cao Zhengxian was a veteran of several dynasties, and had dressed several emperors since the founding of the Jin Dynasty.

His admiration is still very useful to him.

What he wants to do is not just to surpass the emperors, he wants to make achievements that surpass the Taizu, and clean up the broken country of the Sima family one by one.

He has been working hard in this direction.

"It's just that I don't know what method His Majesty used?" Cao Zhengxian cautiously raised his head and looked at Jingtai, wanting to know some truth.

Unexpectedly, Jingtai glanced at him lightly:

"It's better for Eunuch Cao not to know about this."

"Yes, His Majesty said so."

Cao Zhengxian quickly agreed.

"How about what I arranged for you to do?"

"What do you mean, Your Majesty?"

Cao Zhengxian was a little confused. Jingtai had instructed him to do a lot of things. He really didn't figure out what was going on right away after asking such a rough question.

Jingtai snorted lightly, and pointed to the picture scroll on the table.

Only then did Cao Zhengxian suddenly realize, and quickly said:

"Returning to Your Majesty, the whereabouts of Wu Daozi, the painting sage, has been confirmed to be hidden in Shuzhou. The veteran is stepping up the search, and it will not take long to find it."

Jingtai nodded slightly:

"This guy is not simple. I have something very important to me in my hand. I will give you another half a year. If you can't find it, don't blame me for being ungrateful."

"Yes, the old minister complies."

A drop of cold sweat dripped down Cao Zhengxian's forehead.

Although he is a strong man at the peak level of refining gods, he still has fear in the face of this emperor whose cultivation level is far inferior to his. He knows very well that even himself, in this imperial city, cannot break through the emperor's defense.

What's more, his methods are very strange!

Is a very simple emperor.

"This Wu Daozi is very important. Apart from the things in his hands, I have already obtained information, and there is a very important person beside him."

Jingtai narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Who?"

Cao Zhengxian froze for a moment, a little puzzled.

This was the first time he heard His Majesty say that.

"The first son and grandson of the Xiang family of former Chu, the only son of Xiang Qianqiu!" Jingtai said word by word.

"Isn't Xiang Lingtian dead?"

Cao Zhengxian knew that Chen Yuan returned to Beijing with a human head, and that human head was Xiang Lingtian. After many verifications, he also knew the real identity of that person.

The current heir of the Xiang family.

Xiang Qianqiu is the former Crown Prince of Chu, so naturally he should be the current patriarch of the Xiang family, and the heir should be his son!

"Xiang Lingtian is not his son, but a junior who is more important. Perhaps, the one who follows Wu Daozi is the one." Jingtai said in a calm voice.

"How did His Majesty know?"

Cao Zhengxian just felt confused, he had never heard of such a thing.

"I have other channels to investigate. In short, these two people must be brought back to the capital for me. I still have great use."

"Yes, the old minister complies."

Anyway, he was with Wu Daozi, as long as he found Wu Daozi's trail, he would naturally be able to find the so-called Xiang Lingtian's only son.

"These remnants have existed for too long, and the hidden dangers they have brought to the court are too great. They must be eradicated completely." Jingtai's eyes flashed coldly.

When the Sima family established the country, it was not toppled from the ground up, but the Great Jin was built on the foundation of the former Chu. Even, many nobles in the capital now defected at the beginning.

If the Xiang family counterattacks in the future, they may not turn back again.

This is a great hidden danger, and it is also a thorn in his side, a thorn in his flesh.

"Your Majesty said yes."

Jingtai took a deep breath, and the atmosphere in the imperial study was silent for a moment. Cao Zhengxian thought for a while and asked again:

"What position does His Majesty plan to arrange for Chen Yuan?"

In today's award, only Chen Yuan's title was conferred, but no real power was given to him. Cao Zhengxian was delighted but also curious about what the emperor's arrangement was.

The opponent has already broken through Huayang, and has also achieved great achievements, but he is no longer suitable for the position of the Sky Surveying Golden Envoy.

"Chen Yuan..."

When Jingtai mentioned this name at this moment, he was already a little unhappy.

This is caused by various reasons, including Liangzhou and other aspects.

In short, Jingtai saw that this person was not as pleasing to the eye as before.

I feel that this person is not so easy to grasp.

"What do you think?"

Jingtai asked back.

"The old minister doesn't know, it's still up to His Majesty to decide."

Cao Zhengxian will not make any remarks at this moment, so as not to cause the emperor's displeasure.

"When the governor left office before, he recommended Chen Yuan to me as the envoy of Tianzi. However, I don't want to give him this position so soon.

This person is arrogant and unruly, and he is loyal to the world, not the Sima family. "

Jingtai opened the mouth and said.

Only then did Cao Zhengxian's eyes flash a moment of surprise.

The emperor's mind is indeed the most difficult to guess.

"What your Majesty said is not without reason."

"And I heard that this person is a little close to the prince, hum..." Jingtai snorted coldly.

It would be fine if Chen Yuan's influence and reputation were not so great, but his reputation is well known in the world. If he supports Sima Ke, what will the other two princes do?

"However, the Fourth Highness does have some tricks. I knew before that he and Chen Yuan were not dealing with each other. Vice Commander Yang even sent him to the border because of Chen Yuan. I thought that the two sides would never communicate with each other. I didn't expect the Fourth Highness to be able to talk about this. People, I don't know what method the Fourth Highness used."

Regarding the prince, Cao Zhengxian couldn't say much, and could only follow the emperor's words.

Listening to Cao Zhengxian's words, a smile appeared on Jingtai's face:

"This kid does have some tricks. He can let go of his grievances, use some other means to win over Chen Yuan, and get him to support him. If it weren't for... I still like him quite a bit."

Thinking about Concubine Shu, Jingtai still felt a little unnatural.

In any case, Sima Ke was too overstepped. If it weren't for the scruples about the influence, Jingtai could even abolish him directly.

"The qualifications of the Fourth Highness are indeed extraordinary, and the means are extraordinary."

Cao Zhengxian smiled embarrassingly.

Obviously, he also knows some more secret things.

"Bringing the wind direction to Chen Yuan this time can't completely dispel other people's suspicions, but it's enough." Jingtai said this abruptly, and then asked suddenly:

"Chen Yuan, what are you doing now?"
