Chapter 412 Restoration

After Yang Heng had left, these small officials breathed a sigh of relief, then they looked at each other and walked out of the living room as if nothing had happened.

But just after these people left the living room, they frantically ran outside the Ministry of Criminal Justice as if they were chased away by dogs. This was to report to their backers.

Because these people may be the first batch of officials who will return soon after Pudu Cihang is finished.

For this news, they want to sell a big price.

Besides, when Yang Heng and the others returned to Dengtian Temple, Erya looked at the messy courtyard as soon as she entered the door, then Erya hurriedly ran to her room, and then rummaged under the bed, finally disappointed walked out.

"Brother, all my private money is gone."

Er Ya was already crying when she said this.

He still knows about Erya's situation. Although Erya is said to be in charge of all the logistics tasks of Dengtian Temple, this little girl is indeed very responsible and not greedy.

And her private money is to make some simple French recipes for the neighbors, or the red envelopes given by others. Up to now, there are dozens of taels.

This amount of money may be just the price of a few meals for the rich, but to Erya it is her entire possessions.

It's no wonder that Erya is anxious.

But for this matter, Yang Heng really had no choice, so he could only stare at Erya, although he said to comfort Erya not to throw money away, but he still couldn't stop Erya from crying.

In the end, Yang Heng had no other choice, so he glanced at his big apprentice Shouming. This kid was born in the royal family and should be very good at coaxing women. Now it should be time for him to contribute.

This Shouming is also clever, when he saw the master winking, he immediately understood what the master meant, so after a little thought, he came up with an idea.

"Master, don't worry, didn't you just lose dozens of taels of silver? It's not like you can't get it back."

As soon as Erya heard this, the tears in her eyes stopped immediately, and she looked at Shouming with her big tear-filled eyes.

"Can you really get it back? People can send it back again, isn't it impossible?"

"Hehe, Auntie, don't you look at who our master is now, he is a great hero who saved my grandpa, as long as he sends a word to Shuntian Mansion now, those policemen will search the neighborhood quickly , no matter what, we can get the silver back for us.”

When Yang Heng heard this, he immediately understood that this apprentice was lying.

Even if all the arresters from Shuntian Mansion are dispatched, I'm afraid they won't be able to find all the common people who followed them to the sky to watch things.

Then the last unlucky people are probably those who usually commit crimes. These people will definitely be squeezed by the arresters to take out the money, and finally pay Yang Heng to settle the matter.

But Yang Heng doesn't intend to take care of these things, as long as he doesn't bully the people and can compensate for his losses, then everything is not important.

And Erya stopped crying now, she nodded with her eyes wide open and swearing.

"That's right, why did I forget that if you lose something, you should report it to the officials, and those officials should take care of us."

After Erya finished speaking, she rolled her eyes and said to a little Taoist priest next to her, "Shouchang, I usually hear you say that your eldest brother is an official in Shuntian Mansion, so I will leave this matter to you. "

Na Shouchang is Yang Heng's youngest apprentice, but because he is usually very clever, Erya likes him very much.

"Auntie, don't worry, I'll go find my elder brother now, and I will definitely get back all the money we lost tonight."

When it comes to this, this kid still doesn't forget to play tricks.

"It's unreasonable. How dare you steal it from our men. They don't know that Lord Ma has three eyes."

After hearing what he said, the other apprentices nodded secretly, because in their view, although they were not favored at home, they were after all officials, so if someone dared to steal from them, wouldn't that be courting death?

Yang Heng looked at the way these people's eyes were higher than the top, and shook his head, hey, it seems that these apprentices of his have to cultivate their minds slowly, if they don't stop these distracted minds, I'm afraid there will be some troubles in their cultivation in the future. twists and turns.

But now is the time when everyone is happy, there is no need to pour cold water on them here, so Yang Heng did not reprimand them on the spot.

And Arya now regained her vitality and began to order things.

"Shouming, you are watching in the courtyard as a senior brother, Shoujie, Shoukong, Shouyuan, you three split up and find all the servants who ran away, otherwise how will we have dinner at night?"

"Shouxuan, Shouxing, Shouren, the three of you quickly clean up the house for me. You can see how messy it is, and whether people can still live in it. I really don't have a little vision."

After listening to Er Ya's order, these little apprentices all dispersed, and went to watch their own affairs.

Not to mention that Yang Heng and others were cleaning up the Taoist temple here, looking for a way to make up for their losses, and besides, at this time, the capital city began to have another undercurrent.

The news that Yang Heng came back from him was quickly passed through the small officials of the Ministry of Punishment to the ears of the court officials.

What do these grown-ups do?Their eyebrows are all empty. Once they get the news, they don't need to discuss with others, they know what to do.

Therefore, before Emperor Shunde in the imperial mausoleum knew what was going on, these officials in the capital began to act.

In the early morning of the next day, just as the emperor sat on the throne, Li Shu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, fell to his knees and began to play upwards.

"Report to Jian Guo, I heard that the emperor is resting in the imperial mausoleum, please send an order to Jian Guo, and I will wait for the civil and military officials to welcome the emperor back to the court."

Next, behind Li Shu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, dozens of officials knelt down, and they all spoke together.

The emperor sitting on the throne trembled when he heard the intro, he already felt that something was wrong.

These civil and military officials can't even call themselves emperors now, they only call themselves Jian Guo, obviously seeing that the situation is not right, so they abandoned themselves.

But wasn't it fine yesterday?The Great Master of Purdue Cihang suppressed the whole country with his earth-shattering skills, why did such a thing happen today?

But the development of things is not based on his will. Who made him a puppet emperor?

Then those civil and military ministers who were kneeling below ignored him, they rushed up directly on the imperial steps, snatched the jade seal, and then wrote an imperial decree on the spot. After that, these people rushed out of the Golden Luan Hall and went straight The imperial mausoleum has gone.

No matter how stupid you are now, you can know that Purdue Cihang has failed.

The third prince, who hadn't been the emperor for a few days, also reacted now, and hurriedly ran from the Jinluan Palace to the harem, then took off the imperial robe on his body, and then changed into the python robe he had when he was a prince, and then ordered his personal eunuch, Prepared for the frame when he was a prince, and then left the palace and went straight to the imperial mausoleum.

He wanted to buy a good one in front of Emperor Shunde, so that Emperor Shunde could spare his life.

But these things have nothing to do with Yang Heng. Yesterday, I cleaned up the Taoist temple for a day. When Yang Heng got up early today, the whole Taoist temple was completely new.

And Yang Heng also took Erya and eight apprentices to start the morning class again in the Sanqing Hall.

Time passed quickly, and when it was almost noon, suddenly there was a sound of people shouting and neighing outside Dengtianguan.

At this moment, Yang Heng slowly opened his eyes, and said to Shouming, "Go outside and see what happened?"

Shouming got his master's order, he didn't dare to neglect, and hurried out of the Sanqing Hall, but it didn't take long for him to come back scrambling.

"Master is very happy. My grandpa has returned to the palace and is waiting for master in the Golden Luan Hall."

Yang Heng didn't look happy when he heard it, but just nodded, because he had expected such a day in his heart.

He stood up and shook his robe, then brought Erya and the others to the courtyard.

There is a little eunuch waiting there with his waist bowed.

As soon as he saw Yang Heng coming out, he hurriedly took a flattering step forward and knelt down on the ground.

"The maidservant greeted Daoist Yang."

Yang Heng quickly winked at Shouming who was at the side, and Shouming hurriedly stepped forward to amulet the little eunuch.

"You don't need to be too polite, little eunuch. I heard from my big apprentice that this time, the emperor ordered me to go to the Golden Luan Palace to meet him. Is there such a thing?"

"Exactly, the emperor specially ordered me to invite the Taoist priest, and he has already prepared the imperial chasm, saying that the Taoist priest will take the imperial chasm to the palace."

After hearing this, Yang Heng was a little proud at first, but he soon came to his senses, came over and shook his head and said, "I'm just a monk from Fangwai, how can I take advantage of the emperor's imperial edict?"

Then, Yang Heng ordered his big apprentice Shouming to prepare a sedan chair for himself.As for the imperial push, Yang Heng would never sit down.

Although the Emperor of Shunde now sees that he has made great contributions in helping to eliminate the Pudu Cihang, he favors him and lets him go to the palace by riding the imperial court, but maybe after a while the relationship will become shallow. Constant guilt.

Yang Heng is not afraid of Emperor Shunde's anger, but he just wants to practice in peace and become an immortal, and if he can do less, he can do less.

The little eunuch seemed to understand Yang Heng's thoughts, so he didn't say too much about Yang Heng's failure to take the Yubai, and just drove the Yubai to lead the way for Yang Heng.

When Yang Heng entered the hall under the leadership of the little eunuch, he found that all the civil and military officials had arrived in the entire hall, and the Emperor Shunde was still sitting on the throne upright as before, next to him Standing is still the old eunuch.

As for the puppet emperor who has disappeared, it is not known whether he was imprisoned or committed suicide.

However, this is all a matter of the royal family, and there is no need for me to intervene.

When Emperor Shunde received Yang Heng into the hall, he hurriedly stood up from the jade seat, then turned around the imperial case, stood on the imperial steps and said to Yang Heng: "The Taoist priest does not need to be present."

After speaking and ordering, the little eunuch hurriedly set up one for Yang Heng under the imperial steps.

Chapter 413 Resignation

After Yang Heng sat down, Emperor Shunde regained his throne.

"Everyone who loves what happened some time ago, you are all witnesses, do you have any explanation?"

When Emperor Shunde asked a word, the civil and military ministers below were a little speechless.

After all, speaking of it, these civil and military ministers were once intimidated by Purdue Cihang's despotic power and had no choice but to obey him.

If the emperor starts to settle accounts after autumn, these people standing in the court will be boiled in one pot.

Emperor Shunde asked several times, but the people standing below were all like wooden figures, and no one answered him.

Emperor Shunde was about to lose his temper when suddenly the old eunuch standing beside him gently tugged at his sleeve.

The emperor of Shunde has been Yu Ji for decades, and he is very skilled in political tactics. He was just short of breath just now, but now he was reminded by the old eunuch, and he immediately reacted.

Therefore, Emperor Shunde closed his eyes to calm the anger in his heart, then suddenly opened his eyes, and said to the people below: "I am also at fault for this matter, and I should not favor this monstrous monk. If this is the case, then from now on no one will Don't mention it again."

After hearing what Emperor Shunde said, the civil and military ministers below finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then it was time to discuss meritorious deeds and rewards. Three people deserved the most credit this time. One was the emperor's uncle Rong Wang, the other was the emperor's personal eunuch, and the last one was Yang Heng who sat on the top of the hall. .

If King Rong is already an extremely human minister, and there is nothing to reward, he will naturally not be promoted. In the end, he just gave these gold and silver, and made one of his youngest sons the king of the county.

As for the old eunuch next to the emperor, he has no son or daughter, and he needs nothing by his side, so the emperor didn't mention him.

In the end, the Emperor Shunde cast his eyes on Yang Heng.

"Thanks to Daoist Yang's efforts to turn the tide this time, otherwise, I would still be suffering in the imperial tomb."

Then he winked like the old eunuch next to him, the old eunuch understood, took a step forward, and picked up a volume of imperial edict from the imperial case.

The old eunuch dragged the imperial decree, and when he reached the imperial steps, he smiled slightly at Yang Heng, and then nodded.

Yang Heng hurriedly stood up, hesitating whether he should kneel or not?

Kneel down, you say?I am now a majestic Earth Immortal anyway, and I am indeed a little bit cheap to a human emperor.

Say you don't want to kneel, it's a little rude to say it out loud in front of civil and military officials.

At this moment, Emperor Shunde, who was sitting on the throne, said, "You don't need to salute, just stand and receive the order."

The Emperor Shunde's words finally relieved Yang Heng's embarrassment. He stood at the bottom with peace of mind, and bowed his hands to the old eunuch who was about to read the imperial decree.

The old eunuch unfolded the imperial decree and began to read it above the main hall.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said: The demon monks cause chaos, cause chaos in the world, expel the current dynasty, set up another king, trust people outside the country, have Taoism and great virtue, Taoist Xitan, help each other, and now Xitan is appointed as the great master of the country, and the leader Monks in the world."

Yang Heng is quite satisfied with this award. From now on, all monks and Taoist priests in the world will be managed by himself.

"Xi Tan, a foreigner from Fang, accepted the order, thank you Lord Long for your kindness."

The old eunuch nodded slightly when Yang Heng received the decree, then walked down the imperial steps and put the decree into Yang Heng's hands.

As for the civil and military ministers below, after hearing the emperor's conferment, they all frowned a little. If you want to say that this great national teacher, although he seems to have no rights on the surface, but to be honest, his prestige is very high. The former great national teacher Pudu Cihang , isn't it just using this position to control the court?

Why did the emperor not have a long memory after suffering a loss? If this Daoist Yang under him is domineering again, who can control him then?

We must know that this is the era of Daoism, and a person's supernatural powers are so powerful that they are as powerful as Yang Heng and Pudu Cihang. It can almost be said that one person can fight against a country.

These civil and military ministers are winking now, feeling uncomfortable.

Holding the imperial decree in his arms, Yang Heng glanced over the hall, and immediately understood what these civil and military ministers were thinking, and Yang Heng's purpose was to practice to become a fairy, and then live forever, and he did not come to intrigue with these civil and military ministers.

Yang Heng thought for a while, the water in the capital is too muddy, since he has delayed his practice since he came here, he might as well go back to Xiangfu County to practice quietly there.

After Yang Heng made up his mind, he played to the Golden Hall and said: "Long live, I am dedicated to Taoism. Although the capital is prosperous, the atmosphere of the world is too strong. I want to return to Xiangfu County to devote myself to cultivating Taoism. Please allow me the emperor."

After listening to Yang Heng's prayer, Emperor Shunde nodded slightly. He was very satisfied with this request.

It seems that as expected to his companion, this Yang Heng is a person who is not greedy for power.

Such a person can win the favor of the emperor and other superiors the most.

"Daoist Yang, you are really high-spirited."

Emperor Shunde praised Yang Heng, then bowed his head and thought hard.

To be honest, the emperor really doesn't want Yang Heng to leave the capital now, because although Pudu Cihang is ambitious, but his magic power is strong, with him sitting in the capital, Xiaoxiao dare not make trouble at will.

But now that Pudu Cihang has been suppressed, only King Rong and the old eunuch are sitting in the capital.
