Chapter 1032 Linghu Chong with Halo
During the reign of Emperor Zhengde, he felt suffocated living in the palace.

In order to please Emperor Zhengde, Liu Jin and other eunuchs expanded the Leopard House near Xuanwu Lake.

The Leopard House, which originally covered only a few dozen acres, is now larger than half the size of the harem.

After the renovation of the Leopard House was completed, Emperor Zhengde never moved back to the palace to live.

After Su Mingzhe became emperor, he also took his concubines out for fun.

Dayu'er had naturally been taken to the Leopard House and had stayed there for a few nights. When she heard that the emperor was going to arrange for the noble lady of Jianzhou to live in the Leopard House, she immediately nodded and said happily:
"That's a great place! I'm sure they will like it very much..."

The conflict between the noble ladies of Jianzhou and Khorchin was just a trivial episode in the harem.

Several months passed in the blink of an eye.

The second year of the Da Zheng calendar arrived.

Zhu Xuanhuan is pregnant again.

When the news reached the court, the ministers who were still loyal to the Ming Dynasty looked at each other and showed joy.

Looking at how excited they are, they are even happier than Su Mingzhe, their father.

Su Xi, who was already ten years old, was very happy to hear that her mother was pregnant.

However, before he had time to be too happy, Su Mingzhe issued an order that immediately made Su Xi's mood become extremely bad!

It’s the Dragon Boat Festival again.

Su Mingzhe used the excuse that Su Xi was getting older and it was inconvenient for her to continue staying in the harem, so he cleaned up the East Palace and had the prince move from Kunning Palace.

"Brother, you are the prince, you are ten or eleven years old, it's fine for you to move out. I'm only seven years old, why should I move out with you?"

Su Zheng was unwilling to move out of Kunning Palace and complained to his elder brother with a look of grievance on his face.

Come to think of it, he hasn't been weaned yet.

Seeing that the second son Su Zheng had the nerve to ask her, Su Xi could not help but get angry and said angrily:

"It's all your fault. If I hadn't told you to take a nap, you would have insisted on making noise and disturbed your mother's nap. How could I be kicked out?"

Su Xi is three years older than Su Zheng. Due to his martial arts training, he is two heads taller than Su Zheng and looks like a little adult.

His roar frightened Su Zheng so much that he took two or three steps back, fell to the ground, and burst into tears:
"It's not me. Don't blame me. I didn't disturb the Queen Mother..."

"Hmph! Slug!"

Su Xi glared at the second child with disdain, waved her hand impatiently, and signaled the nanny next to her to carry him to the bedroom.

The argument between the two brothers took place in the afternoon, and someone reported it to Su Mingzhe in the evening.

"This little bastard is just like his father, heartless, ruthless and unrighteous, with a natural emperor's heart!"

Su Mingzhe declined to comment on Su Xi's actions.

It just happened within a few days.

As it happened to be a grand court meeting, Su Mingzhe conferred the title of "King Yu" on Su Zheng and granted him the fief of Yuzhou. He also ordered people to build the "King Yu's Palace" in Yuzhou.

As soon as King Yu reached the age, he would send the second son to a fiefdom.

It’s no wonder that Su Mingzhe is cruel to his son. In later times, a seven-year-old child can also live in a school dormitory.

If Su Zheng didn't move out, Su Mingzhe was afraid that his two sons would have bigger conflicts.

In Su Mingzhe's opinion, his son can be as hard-hearted as a rock, but he must never kill his own flesh and blood.

This is the bottom line.

When Crown Prince Su Xi learned of Su Mingzhe's decision, his attitude toward Su Zheng immediately softened a lot.

They are all legitimate sons. If the emperor does not allow the second son to go to his fiefdom, then the old story of "two dragons fighting for the throne" may happen again.

This kind of thing happened during the Jiajing and Wanli periods.

Su Xi also didn't want to quarrel with her brother, which eventually led to the emergence of things like 'Cruel Prince' and 'Hidden Prince'.

June.

Ye Zhanqing reported that Lin Zhennan, a fifth-rank imperial censor and a member of the Donglin Party, had stolen the "Sunflower Manual" that Su Mingzhe had placed in the treasury.

"What does Gu Jinfu eat?"

Su Mingzhe didn't expect that something he had already reminded people of would go wrong. He frowned, revealing a hint of dissatisfaction.

As Gu Jinfu's superior, Ye Zhanqing had to help explain:
"Someone reported yesterday that Yue Buqun of the Huashan Sect was found in Zijin Mountain. Gu Jinfu led people to track down Yue Buqun, which gave Lin Zhennan the opportunity to steal!"

"What's the situation now?" As the emperor, Su Mingzhe had long stopped paying attention to gangsters like Yue Buqun.

After all, in the movie "Swordsman", Yue Buqun and Lin Zhennan together are no match for Gu Jinfu.

Ye Zhanqing then reported: "After Gu Jinfu learned that the [Sunflower Manual] was stolen, he took people from the East Factory to chase after it."

Su Mingzhe's eyelids drooped, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised:

"Lin Zhennan is just a pawn pushed out by the traitors. What's the point of chasing him?"

Although he looked down upon Gu Jinfu's ability to do things, this old man was loyal to him after all.

After thinking for a moment, Su Mingzhe ordered:

"You go and inform the King of the Wheel of Time to have him and Gu Jinfu work together to eradicate all the evil and bring all the traitors to justice!"

The [Sunflower Manual] in the royal treasury was originally a fake secret book put in after the battle between Su Mingzhe and Dongfang Bubai.

Fake secret books seem to be true, but are actually false. Although they can greatly increase one's power, they will make one's emotions more and more extreme, and eventually one will lose one's mind, become possessed, and explode to death.

Before Su Mingzhe released this fake secret book, he told Ye Zhanqing that the purpose was to lure out the hidden "rebel" in the court.

Now that Lin Zhennan has stepped forward, he has gained something.

That afternoon.

The Wheel King, with dozens of Black Stone assassins, found the secret sign left by Gu Jinfu and chased after him towards Fujian Province.

Gu Jinfu acted quickly and captured Lin Zhennan and his son before the Chakravartin caught up with them.

Unfortunately, Lin Zhennan was really stubborn. He had been tortured by Gu Jinfu for many days and there was not a single patch of healthy skin on his body, but he still refused to speak.

Seeing that the Huashan Sect is about to arrive, Gu Jinfu can only use a trick from the movie. He lets his subordinate Ouyang Quan pretend to be Lin Pingzhi, infiltrate the Huashan Sect, and find out whether Lin Zhennan has any accomplices in the court.

Yue Buqun, the old scoundrel, naturally recognized at a glance that Ouyang Quan was a fake.

However, in order to obtain the [Sunflower Manual], Yue Buqun still pretended to be nice to him and even established a relationship with Gu Jinfu.

In this way, a battle without weapons and guns began silently.

In just three days, the Huashan Sect and the East Factory fought a battle of wits and courage and had countless clashes.

In the end, it was Gu Jinfu's superior skills that overwhelmed Yue Buqun.

And Yue Buqun also successfully obtained the secret book of [Sunflower Manual].

Seeing that he had the secret book in his hands, Yue Buqun prepared to leave.

Another big fight.

Linghu Chong's protagonist halo exploded, and with the help of Ren Yingying and Lan Fenghuang, his power increased dramatically. He first killed the Wheel King with the [Nine Swords of Dugu].

At this time, Gu Jinfu was also shot dead by Ouyang Quan, who stole the [Sunflower Manual].

Yue Buqun, who should have been the final winner, forced his apprentice to rebel and was killed by Linghu Chong, Ren Yingying and Lan Fenghuang.

“Pa pa pa—what a good show!”

Su Mingzhe has long known that Linghu Chong has the aura of the protagonist and is not easy to deal with. However, when he saw that even with the addition of the Chakravartin, the ending could not be changed, he could only secretly feel sorry for Gu Jinfu and the Chakravartin.

"Linghu Chong, this is the dog emperor!"

The "Thirteenth Aunt" version of Ren Yingying was not afraid when she saw Su Mingzhe and Ye Zhanqing suddenly appear. Instead, she was overjoyed and said:

"If we catch him, your Huashan Sect's great cause of 'fighting against Zheng and restoring the Ming Dynasty' will be accomplished!"

Linghu Chong did not expect Ren Yingying to be so bold and even wanted to catch Su Mingzhe, the best in the world. He smiled bitterly and reminded her:
"Saint Aunt, have you forgotten what I just said? I have decided to quit the martial arts world. The fighting and killing in the martial arts world has nothing to do with me anymore!"

When Ren Yingying heard this, her expression froze.

Among the three of them, only Linghu Chong, after using the [Nine Swords of Dugu], can challenge a "top master" like Su Mingzhe.

If Linghu Chong didn't take action, he and Lan Fenghuang would be in trouble.

Lan Fenghuang also knew that the situation was critical, but she could only advise:

"Linghu Chong, are you stupid? Just now, this bastard emperor watched us kill Gu Jinfu and Zhuanlun King without taking any action. Do you think he will let you go just by saying you want to quit the underworld?"

"Miss Lan is right!"

Su Mingzhe didn't expect that Lan Fenghuang's little mouth was so talkative, and he couldn't help but applaud her:
"In the whole world, everything is the land of the king; on the shore of the land, there is nothing but the king's ministers!"

"Linghu Chong, when Yue Buqun was the leader of Huashan Sect, he colluded with the rebels and his entire clan should be exterminated. However, I think you are also a loyal and righteous man. I will give you a chance to serve Da Zheng for ten years. The mistakes Huashan Sect made before will be forgiven!"
