Text Chapter 1587 Taking up the Post at Ghost Market
Soon, Emei came quickly.
Before she could salute, Xiahou Chengyu had already grabbed her hand and asked anxiously, "How is the situation?"
Emei knew how concerned she was, so she quickly told her the situation.
Xiahou Chengyu was so happy to hear that the Kou family was really exerting force on the upper side, and the force was not small and quite fierce. When he heard about the Ying family's resistance, Xiahou Chengyu gnashed his teeth again, "It's just wishful thinking. That bitch wants to establish an heir for His Majesty!"
When he heard that Pojun came out to disrupt the situation and wanted to depose the queen and ruin the matter, Xiahou Chengyu was so angry that his eyes were about to burst, "Pojun old thief! One day, I will make you wish you were dead!"
Emei hurriedly comforted her, "My queen, don't be anxious. The old man just told you to be calm. He said that this matter could not be accomplished overnight. The Kou family will continue to exert its strength in the future. His Majesty can avoid it for a while, and it is impossible to escape repeatedly. There will always be a time to let go!"
Xiahou Chengyu stroked his chest and knew that he was indeed too impatient. The Xiahou family was indeed too weak in the court and could not say anything. It was indeed unlikely to be so smooth relying on the Kou family's strength and the Ying family's obstruction.
At this time, another maid outside came to report: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xiao, Concubine Yu and others are here to pay their respects to you."
Xiahou Chengyu was excited. This was the leading force of the Kou faction in the palace. Before, they all stood on the side of Zhan Ruyi. If it weren't for her status as the head of the harem, she would not be able to withstand it. Now that these people have come, it is obvious that the Kou family will support her.
She immediately said happily: "Please come in!"
After a while, seven or eight beautiful ladies came in and stood in a row in the hall to pay their respects: "Greetings to the Queen Mother!"
Xiahou Chengyu hurried forward to help a few people, smiling: "Although this is in the palace, after all, we are all sisters serving your majesty, no need to be polite."
Fei Xiao smiled and said: "I heard that the queen is going to give your majesty a son, and we sisters are here to congratulate the queen in advance."
Xiahou Chengyu sighed: "It's a lie."
Fei Yu smiled and said: "How can it be a lie? I heard that King Kou strongly supports the queen. The court was very noisy today. Who is King Kou? He has a huge influence in the court. As long as King Kou does not give up, your majesty will have to face it. It is only a matter of time before he gives in. It is right for us to congratulate him in advance."
Xiahou Chengyu tried to calm himself down, but the smile on his face was really hard to hide. Cover up, waved and said: "Hurry up and serve tea!"
After several people sat down, Concubine Xiao blinked and said: "Your Majesty. I heard that King Kou's son-in-law Niu Youde went to the ghost market under your jurisdiction?"
Xiahou Chengyu smiled bitterly and said: "This is not my idea, why do you ask knowingly?"
Concubine Yu: "After all, it is under your jurisdiction, and Niu Youde is King Kou's son-in-law after all. If your Majesty puts too much pressure, I'm afraid that King Kou's son-in-law will suffer."
Xiahou Chengyu turned his eyes and understood the intentions of these people. He slowly brought the teacup and said: "Since the Heavenly Court has promised Niu Youde the position of the general town of the ghost market, this reasonable request, I will naturally do my best to support it."
Concubine Xiao said again, "It is said that the ghost market has no future. It is difficult to get promoted. With the support of your Majesty, Niu Youde is afraid that he will have a bright future."
The other concubines followed and nodded.
If Miao Yi saw this scene, he would probably sigh at the power of the Kou family. Once the Kou family exerted their strength, the forces inside and outside the Heavenly Court immediately moved. It was indeed not something that ordinary people could compare to...
Behind the Qiankun Palace, there was another scene. The Green Lord pointed at Po Jun and angrily scolded: "What do you want to do, old man? Where are you leaning?"
Po Jun blinked a little playfully, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's too late to thank me. If it weren't for my unreasonable and unreasonable behavior that gave Your Majesty a reason to get out, I'm afraid Your Majesty would still be listening to them quarreling in the court."
The Green Lord was stunned. His eyebrows moved, and he looked up and down at Po Jun. He didn't expect that this old man would have such a look, and his anger subsided a lot. With his hands behind his back, he said, "I'm afraid that Kou will not let go of this matter. If you go to court and bring up the Kou family again, you will be like you did today. Do you understand?"
Po Jun's face turned serious, "I understand. But I still want to make a suggestion. Please ask Your Majesty to reorganize the harem and depose the queen and establish another one."
"You..." Qing Zhu grabbed Po Jun's collar.
Wu Qu, Sima Wentian and Gao Guan on the side quickly stood in a row and bowed their hands and said, "We implore Your Majesty to establish a son as soon as possible!"
"What do you want to do?" Qing Zhu pushed Po Jun away and pointed at several people and shouted angrily.
When he looked to the side, he saw Shangguan Qing lowered his head and pretended not to see anything and kept silent. This silence was also an attitude.
"Get out of here!" Qing Zhu waved his hand and shouted, and left angrily.
He couldn't do anything to these people, and he knew their reasonable demands. After following him for so many years, they all had to consider their own way out. Those who didn't consider their own way out at all were dead. Po Jun and Wu Qu hold the military power. Even if he is gone in the future, they can still deal with things. But what about Sima Wentian and Gao Guan? They have offended so many people, and the little strength they have is not enough to protect themselves. They need Qingzhu to help him train an emperor while he is still powerful and no one dares to compete with him, so that his true teachings can grow quickly. If it is too late, the emperor will be too young to control the situation in the future, and when the world is in chaos, the situation of hegemony will inevitably appear.
He also understood the thoughts of the court officials. If the emperor was young and weak in the future and could not shock the world, they would worry that he, the Qingzhu, would slaughter all the powerful forces and open up the situation for the emperor to sit firmly on the throne of the world, so as not to threaten the emperor's position. In fact, he, the Qingzhu, thought so. If he could successfully cross the gate of hell, it would be fine. If he could not cross the gate of hell, he would definitely establish an heir to cultivate. Don't look at the Uranus Lord jumping for joy now, that's because he still needs them to govern the world and provide him with endless benefits. If that time really comes, they will all be meat on the chopping board. He will not let anyone threaten the throne of his heir.
Because of this, it concerns the interests of everyone in the future, so he is alone in this matter, even his confidants dare not agree with it. If they really agree, they must have different intentions, so if he, the Qingzhu, does not compromise, this matter will be unsolvable...
The sky is gloomy and rainy, vines are hanging, and a beautiful figure falls from the cliff. Halfway through, she pulls the vines and floats into the cave halfway up the cliff.
The cave was dark. Yueyao opened her eyes and walked in carefully, tentatively calling out, "Brother Jiang."
There was a slight echo in the cave. But no one responded. She turned into a cave, where there were only stone tables, stone benches, stone couches, etc., but no one was seen.
Carefully inspecting the situation in the cave. Yueyao reached out and touched the stone table. It was slightly dusty, as if no one had lived there for a while.
Waving her hand to cast a magic whisk, Yueyao sat on the stone couch a little disappointed, muttering to herself, "Is he gone..."
Since she discovered Jiang Lang's true identity that year. Jiang Lang almost never contacted her again, and even erased the seal in the star bell that the two of them used to contact each other. But she knew his living habits. He always liked to fish by the river in a rainy day wearing a straw raincoat, so she would always "encounter" him by chance.
Gradually, she believed that his words were true and that he was framed. She was still somewhat confident in her looks. If Jiang Yiyi was really a rapist, why didn't he have any intentions towards her for so many years?
During this period, there were several consecutive rainy days. She passed by the river several times, but she didn't see Jiang Yiyi again. After several hesitations, she finally came up with a reason and couldn't help but take the initiative to find the door. Who knew that the person had already left and didn't even say hello.
The love has been moved, but there is nowhere to go, which makes her sad...
Ghost Market, Ghost Market again.
Under the escort of the masters of Kou Mansion. Miao Yi and his party finally arrived at the Ghost Market and went directly to the Ghost Market General Town Mansion from the ground.
It is called a mansion, but it is more like an underground palace, only with a yard outside. The rest of the buildings are wrapped in thick stone walls.
The former Ghost Market General Town was very enthusiastic and did the handover without hesitation. It is estimated that he finally found an opportunity to leave here and was a little impatient. After all the things were handed over, Miao Yi signed for it and immediately said goodbye and ran away.
After the party settled down. Miao Yi handed over the affairs of the ghost market to Yang Qing and others. After changing his appearance, he led Yan Xiu away and went to Xinyi Pavilion to visit the local snakes here. If he wanted to gain a foothold here, he would be in trouble if he did not get the support of Xinyi Pavilion. Although the Kou family said that they had sorted it out, he still had to go to confirm it in person.
There was no need to be so anxious. The Kou family had already told him to settle down and practice here. The affairs of the ghost market were not something that outsiders could interfere with. This town was just a decoration. You don't have to worry about anything. Wait for the right opportunity to transfer away. Your main goal is to improve your cultivation as soon as possible, and the Kou family also provided sufficient cultivation resources.
But for Miao Yi, the resources provided by the Kou family were limited. They could take care of him and Yun Zhiqiu, but not too much. He had a lot of expenses but could not tell the Kou family. He had to find another way to make money, and he also had many things to deal with.
Of course, Miao Yi did treat the ghost market as a decoration. He was not so self-righteous as to think that he could interfere in the territory of the Xiahou family. If he really did so, it was estimated that the Kou family would not be able to protect themselves.
The meeting with Xinyi Pavilion went smoothly. Qi Jue, the manager of Xinyi Pavilion, personally went outside to greet him. He was an old man in blue clothes with an unremarkable appearance. He also successfully met Cao Man, the famous owner of Xinyi Pavilion. Miao Yi did not dare to look down on him. Although he was only the owner of Xinyi Pavilion on the surface, he was actually the chief leader of the entire underground world. It was said that he was the son of Xiahou Tuo and the person whose status in the Xiahou family was second only to Xiahou Tuo.
Cao Man's attitude was very easy-going. He gave Miao Yi the answer he wanted directly. He could guarantee Miao Yi's safety in the ghost market in the future. At the same time, he also promised that there was no need to worry about the tax revenue in the ghost market. This side would help collect it and deliver it directly to the door. Of course, there was also a premise of the hint, that is, under the condition that the Kou family and the Xiahou family had a good relationship, he also hoped that Miao Yi would not make trouble here, otherwise Cao Man would not dare to guarantee the previous guarantee.
Miao Yi could only swallow this soft and hard threat. It was the most intolerable for him to have someone under his rule dare to threaten him. He could not accept the insubordination, but on second thought, who was under whose rule? I came here to beg for food under someone's nose.
When leaving, Qi Jue, the manager of Xinyi Pavilion, did not forget to remind Miao Yi, "Niu Zongzhen, there is a place in this ghost market that is best to get along with peacefully. If you cause trouble, Xinyi Pavilion will not be able to guarantee your safety."
Miao Yi, who was about to board the ship, was stunned and turned back to ask, "Where is it?"
Qi Jue smiled and said, "Ksitigarbha Temple, that is the territory of the Buddhist world." (~^~)
