Prince pondered: "If it is a peace negotiation, then our side should make preparations early. The Tartars are now weak and weak, and civil strife is constant. As long as we handle it properly, our Great Chu will have the upper hand."

  The emperor thought about it and nodded, looking at Qin Xinfang and Gu Jingyun, "What do you think?"

   "I agree with this minister." Although Gu Jingyun did not agree with the use of troops against the Tartars, of course it would be a deadly pit to be able to pit the opponent.

  The main battle factions are right about one thing. In recent years, the Tatars have become more and more advanced. They loot the people of Dachu almost every year.

   It is natural to shock them through this peace talks.

   After talking about the business, the emperor remembered the people in the side hall, and asked Director Su to invite Bai Yitang and the others.

The emperor had already received a secret letter from the chief of guards in advance, knowing that they spent all the money they made on disaster relief, and recently he had also discovered records about Lingtianmen from some of the royal family's cases. At this time, his attitude towards Bai Yitang was still uncertain. Not bad.

  's attitude towards Li Baolu is even better.

  The emperor looked at her and smiled and said, "In the future, you are both the head of Lingtianmen and Qinghe's daughter-in-law, so wouldn't you want to leave Qinghe to become a thief in the future?"

  Li Baolu said solemnly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, no matter where I go, I will not leave Qinghe, not to mention that if I have the heart, I will not steal it from anywhere."

"You go back to flattering." The emperor laughed and scolded, and began to look at the account book presented by the captain of the guard. He just turned a few pages and closed it, looking up at Bai Yitang, who lowered his head and smiled, "It is said that Lingtianmen is the office of King Wei Ren. Chuang, I don't know if it's true or not."

   "Your Majesty, the pamphlet of my Lingtianmen is outside, and it records the origin of Lingtianmen."

The emperor looked at Director Su, Director Su hurriedly bowed down, and soon someone carried a box up, Director Su opened it, and what caught his eye was the three Ming Huang imperial decrees, he was slightly stunned, and hurriedly held the three imperial decrees respectfully. Give it to the emperor before the case, and then go to get the top one of the old genealogy.

The    emperor was also taken aback, he didn't expect to see the imperial edict in the hands of a Jianghu sect.

   He turned to the oldest one, which was the imperial decree of the Great Wei Emperor Gaozu’s time. The decree was very simple, allowing Lingtianmen to act cheaply in the Great Wei, as long as they did not cooperate with the enemy and betray the country and harm the people, the court and local officials were not allowed to harm Lingtianmen.

   It seems that the rumors recorded in the royal family case are true. It is possible that Lingtianmen was created by King Ren, and a prince went to build a sect that specializes in stealing things?

  The emperor went to read the second imperial decree. When he saw the signature of the second imperial decree, he couldn't help but move his brows. He couldn't help looking at the third imperial decree, and there was a strong suspicion in his heart.

   This is the imperial decree from the previous emperor Taizu to Lingtianmen, not the imperial decree of the Great Wei Dynasty. The content above was similar to the previous imperial decree, but it was also to protect Lingtianmen.

The emperor silently opened the third imperial decree. Sure enough, his expectations came true. It was the signature of Emperor Taizu of Great Chu. What surprised him was that there was even a stamp of his grandfather Qianyuan at the back, which meant that Lingtianmen was in this dynasty. At least have the approval of two emperors.

  He looked up at Bai Yitang, and his eyes gradually became sharper.

   This is no longer an ordinary Jianghu martial art.

  Bai Yitang stood indifferently, "Your Majesty, why don't you take a look at the family tree of Lingtianmen. Director Su is busy presenting the family tree in his hand."

  The emperor took it silently.

  Ling Zimo is the younger brother of Emperor Gaozu of the Great Wei Dynasty, and also the younger brother of the same mother. He was born weak. In order to save his life, he was sent to the monk Huitong of Shaolin to cultivate at the age of seven or eight.

   First, Huitong is proficient in medical theory and can take care of Ling Zimo at all times. Second, Shaolin martial arts are exquisite and can strengthen his body. Third, he hopes that Ling Zimo can be blessed by the Bodhisattva and grow up safely.

  Emperor Gaozu was twelve years older than Ling Zimo, and he was very sympathetic to this younger brother, while Ling Zimo was also smart and returned to the palace to help Emperor Gaozu to do a lot of things when he became an adult.

   Later, the court was stable. Ling Zimo was influenced by Shaolin and liked to travel among the people. During his travels, he could not help but witness some injustices.

   He has a chivalrous heart, so he often draws his sword to help. Once this kind of thing is shot, it is difficult to stop, so Ling Zimo slowly made a name for himself in the arena.

General injustices can be solved by force, but some things cannot be solved by force alone, especially when he encounters corrupt officials and corrupt officials. Later, he encountered a lot of officials who were disorderly. He simply stopped going to the trial in person, but secretly took evidence and threw it to the higher-level officials.

   It was also at this time that Ling Zimo began to think about creating Lingtianmen.

   Emperor Gaozu wished that his younger brother would help him clean up the lawless people in the place. Seeing that his younger brother liked the affairs of the rivers and lakes, he gave Lingtianmen an imperial decree for protection.

   Who knows that Lingtianmen will grow bigger and bigger in the future. Although there are only two masters and disciples in the entire sect, there are countless servants under their hands.

   And the wealth accumulated by Lingtianmen played a big role whenever there was a big natural and man-made disaster in the Great Wei Dynasty. At this time, Emperor Gaozu and Ling Zimo really looked at Lingtianmen squarely.

   But in order to constrain the development of Lingtianmen and prevent it from expanding to the point of hindering the imperial court, Ling Zimo set a rule that each generation of Lingtianmen could only accept one disciple, and only the secretaries of Lingtianmen could be known.

   There is only one person, and his servants are only responsible for selling off stolen goods, so the limited size of Lingtianmen will not hinder the court and the people.

Moreover, Lingtianmen is not a blood inheritance system, and Ling Zimo did not require his disciples to be loyal to the Great Wei royal family, so his descendants struggled for a long time when the dynasty changed, but still followed their heart and helped the previous dynasty to destroy the Great Wei and establish the new order.

   Opened the door note, which also recorded the plea of ​​sin from the head of the head and the patriarch. Obviously, he was also a little nervous in his heart.

   After all, the ancestors belonged to the Great Wei Royal Family, but they turned against the Great Wei Royal Family in the end.

However, after that incident, the former emperor Taizu had a good sense of Lingtianmen, and later saw that Lingtianmen would help the court to relieve disasters whenever natural disasters occurred. Before his death, the former emperor gave Lingtianmen an imperial decree generously. Bless them.

   And in Da Chu, the situation is similar.

  The difference is that the emperor's grandfather, Emperor Qianyuan, affixed his own private seal after Taizu.

   Emperor Qianyuan was in power for a short time, but his reign was recognized as the rule of ZTE.

The    emperor jumped and looked, and soon found the record of his grandfather's genealogy when he was in power.

According to records, at the beginning of Emperor Qianyuan’s ascension to the throne, it was very miserable. The Great Chu was defeated in the war with the Tartars. Not empty, but not a penny.

  The emperor knew about this history, and the royal family secret scroll contained that the grandfather could not even give the salary to the officials at that time.

Of course, a sect of Lingtianmen could not support a country, but it helped Emperor Qianyuan when he was in the most difficult time. Because they helped the victims and helped to buy a batch of grain and agricultural tools, Emperor Qianyuan was able to breathe and relieve himself. Due to domestic conflicts, he urgently issued a policy of light gluttony and low pay, and personally went out of the palace to ask for the support of the wealthy families of various families.

  Lingtianmen's genealogy has many praises for Emperor Qianyuan, and it is obvious that the contemporary head likes this emperor very much, so the records are quite detailed.

  The emperor rubbed his fingers on the words that recorded the suffering and hard work of his grandfather, and was filled with emotion.

  The head of Lingtianmen admired Emperor Qianyuan, and Emperor Qianyuan also admired him, so he tried his best to find him, and stamped a private seal on the imperial decree left by Taizu.

   Emperor Qianyuan's mind is very straightforward. With his stamp, future generations will pay more attention to Lingtianmen.

   He hoped that Lingtianmen would be able to help again when his descendants encountered the same problems as him in the future.

  The emperor just now understood why Bai Yitang did not shy away from showing the power in his hands, but he made it clear that he would not hand over that power to the imperial court.

   This is his reliance, his greatest reliance!

   The words of the ancestors are not obligatory, but if the foundation is not shaken, the emperor and descendants will not go against the will of the ancestors.

   So the emperor closed the door book, rolled up the imperial decree and handed it to Li Baolu, "This is the foundation of your Lingtianmen, keep it."

"Yes."

   The corners of Bai Yitang's mouth were slightly raised.

  The emperor looked at him and asked suspiciously: "You already have the imperial decree, why didn't you take it out back then? If the imperial father sees the imperial decree in your hand, he will definitely not sentence you to exile."

   Bai Yitang sneered in his heart, he would not be sentenced to exile, but Lingtianmen was also destroyed, maybe he would be imprisoned in the capital for the rest of his life, what is the difference between that and exile in Qiongzhou?

  The late emperor is not today. That person is suspicious and careful, and likes to calculate and balance power. To know that there is a power that he cannot control in the dark, he must prefer to deal with it and then quickly, rather than think about the ethics and morals.

   Moreover, Lingtianmen was very rich at that time, and the things in the warehouse were equivalent to the treasury of Great Chu. Even if he was the emperor, he would definitely be moved when he saw it.

   As now, apart from the house in Lingtianmen, there is nothing left of the several acres of land at the foot of the mountain and their master and apprentice, and they are dispensable in the imperial court.

   Although Bai Yitang is a rough man, his judgment of danger is very keen. If it is not for safety, he will not expose Lingtianmen.

   Of course, this cannot be said to the emperor. No matter how bad the late emperor was, he was still his father. Qin Xinfang and Gu Jingyun could say it, but he couldn't say it.

So Bai Yitang said with a just face: "Go back to Your Majesty, I, Lingtianmen, have never thought of doing anything with the imperial edict, this is just a guarantee for future generations, I am not going to die, and Lingtianmen is not about to destroy it. , this thing doesn't need to be taken out."

  Bai Yitang had a dignified look on his face. Except for Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu, everyone else believed it and looked at him with some admiration.

The    emperor's smile was even more gentle, and he said with a smile: "You Lingtianmen should keep this imperial decree and family tree for yourself, but the royal family has to transcribe and file a copy."

   Maybe it was the request of Lingtianmen. The imperial families of the past dynasties only recorded some rumors and guesses, and there was no exact and detailed record. Otherwise, the emperor already knew about Lingtianmen, so he would have to wait for Bai Yitang to come to the door in person?

   In this regard, the former and current head of Lingtianmen have no objection.

   Copy it, copy it, I’m not sure when my Lingtianmen will move, what’s the use of you just copy it?

  Ling Tianmen is just two people.
