Chapter 17: The Storm Begins to Move

Kong Xiaocheng has served the dynasty for more than 80 years since he left Confucianism to join the dynasty when he was 18 years old. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In his 80 years of reign, Kong Xiaocheng was most proud of not that he had assisted the previous king to settle the other seven major forces in the world, so that the power of the dynasty to control the people's livelihood in the world was as stable as Mount Tai; nor did he enter the rebel camp alone and persuade the rebel leaders at that time, and then solved the major crisis of the division between the north and the south of the dynasty; let alone that he taught Zhao Xiaotang, a student who was not favored by everyone at that time, but is now the 106th emperor of the dynasty.

In his own life, the proudest thing is that he has been in charge of the dynasty for more than 50 years but has never made even the slightest mistake!

However, what Kong Xiaocheng never expected was that he was getting old and getting old, and he was already about to enter the ground, but he committed a terrible crime that cut himself ten times without losing anything!

"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, haven't you eaten****** damn it! hurry up......怂 Kong Xiaocheng sat on the small sedan chair carried by the four innate martial artists, and even broke through the 346 palace gates of the Forbidden Palace, and he was about to vomit blood in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's a big deal, it's a big deal!" As soon as he arrived at the Phoenix Pavilion, Kong Xiaocheng didn't care about tidying up his appearance, and he yelled and went straight in.

Zhao Xiaotang was playing kissing with the queen at this time, but his teacher actually broke in directly, and he was not embarrassed this time.

However, after all, Kong Xiaocheng was a figure he respected like a half-father and half-teacher, so Zhao Xiaotang was not angry at all, but he smiled and teased the teacher.

"Teacher, I've never seen you like this, hahahaha, it's rare, it's so rare. Alain, I have something to discuss with the teacher, you go and prepare some refreshments. Zhao Xiaotang smiled and instructed his wife.

The queen knew that something big was happening, so she left here very obediently and took all the palace people with her.

"Teacher, don't worry, come to think of it, it should be that thing lost, right? Come, sit down and take a break with a cup of tea. Your old body is what I care about the most, and the rest ...... Hmph, it's all nothing. Zhao Xiaotang turned his head and guessed what was going on, so that the teacher could be so embarrassed, but he was still as steady as Mount Tai personally pouring tea for the teacher.

"Woo-!Your Majesty--Your Majesty!Woo-!Woo-!Woo-!Woo

"Hey, why are you still crying? Teacher, get up, get up. After Zhao Xiaotang smiled bitterly, he hurriedly stepped forward to support his teacher.

After the master and apprentice sat down opposite each other, Zhao Xiaotang's mind stabilized a little while waiting for the teacher, and he asked casually while playing with the tea cup in his hand: "Teacher, you haven't locked down the city at this time, right?"

"Back to Your Majesty, no, the minister was afraid that the grass would startle the snake, so that several other forces would find out the news of the loss of the Holy Key, so they did not order the closure of the city. But please rest assured, Your Majesty, as soon as possible, the minister has already discharged all the imperial secret guards to secretly investigate, and has set up a net of heaven and earth. The minister promised that he would definitely be able to recover the holy key!" Kong Xiaocheng was the prime minister of the dynasty in the end, and after stabilizing his mind, he explained the situation clearly in an orderly manner.

"Teacher, you are wrong. If you lock down the city as soon as possible, the Holy Key may still be recovered, but you have maintained stability and did not choose to lock down the city, which gives the thieves an opportunity to take advantage of it. Of course, when I say you're wrong, I don't mean that you didn't lock down the city, and there's nothing wrong with you not locking down. When I say you're wrong, I mean that you value that holy key too much, take too much care of the forces of the other seven factions, and underestimate our dynasty too much. This is the city of power, here, if the two of us say, it is Tianjo. Zhao Xiaotang's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said plainly as water.

As soon as Kong Xiaocheng heard this, he was so frightened that he quickly threw away the teacup in his hand, and he knelt at Zhao Xiaotang's feet as soon as possible.

Just kidding, Zhao Xiaotang can say that the two of them are on an equal footing, but does he dare to listen to Kong Xiaocheng? Does he dare to take it seriously? Does he dare to accept it in a grand manner?

Zhao Xiaotang looked at the white-haired teacher at his feet, his heart was very uncomfortable at this time, what he said was really not hypocritical at all, he was indeed really grateful to the old man in front of him, after all, if there was no old man, he Zhao Xiaotang might not have known where he had died, how could there be today.

However, the old man is no longer the teacher who taught himself harshly with a straight face all day long, and punished himself severely if he made a small mistake, and he is no longer the son of the palace maid who lives in fear all day long, carefully walks on thin ice, and can only be at ease by the teacher's side.

Zhao Xiaotang slowly took a sip of tea, sighed helplessly in his heart, and with a whole expression, he smiled and ordered the prime minister: "Teacher, the loss of the holy key also gives us a chance." One, we can take this opportunity to beat those rats in the city, so that they can understand who is in charge of the city. Second, we can throw bricks and lead the jade, so that the other factions will kill each other, and then we will sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and fish in troubled waters. Therefore, I ordered all nine gates to be sealed, and searched for me from house to house, and those who committed adultery were killed, those who were lawless were killed, those who slandered were killed, and those who resisted were killed. I don't believe that the guards will dare to drop the bait, and those bastards will not dare to bite the hook! If the Holy Key can be found, it is the best, but if it cannot be found, it is irrelevant. Our current strength is enough to compete with the Buddha's Dao, and we don't need to threaten others with the Holy Key anymore. Anyway, we don't know what that thing is, what its reputation is, and who wants it from the other factions. After speaking, Zhao Xiaotang looked indifferent and tasted tea leisurely.

After listening to the lord's words, Kong Xiaocheng knelt on the ground and quickly calculated the gains and losses, generally he appreciated the student's strategy, and he also really admired the great courage of the lord who dared to give up.

However, admiration is admiration, for the holy key that contains a huge secret, Kong Xiaocheng still attaches great importance to it and is very reluctant in the end, although he also understands that with the current strength of the dynasty, it is indeed possible to be afraid of anyone, and the role of the holy key on the dynasty has been extremely small.

But he still didn't want to give up the Holy Key so easily, after all, although it was useless now, who knew what would happen in the future, what if the Imperial Dynasty needed it again one day?

And the most important thing is that he came up with the plan to protect the Holy Key at the beginning, he was full of confidence in his protection plan at that time, and he also patted his chest and assured the emperor that this plan was absolutely foolproof, but what about now?

He has protected the Holy Key for 40 years, and he has also played with the Seven Great Forces for 40 years, and he has made the Seven Great Forces think that the Holy Key in the hands of the Imperial Dynasty is the sword of the Son of Heaven that has been placed in the treasure house of the Quan City-Gong Quan, but the real Holy Key has already been blatantly thrown by him at the entrance of his own treasure house.

With this trick, the Imperial Sacred Key stayed in his Confucian house for 40 years, and he couldn't figure out what he had done wrong, why the thief would know that the real Holy Key was in his own home, and the real Holy Key was the dirty one-tattered stick.
