Chapter 485: Shaking the Jingcheng

In the Imperial Study of the Imperial Palace, the lights were still on.

The Emperor was not asleep, and Gu Changsheng was not asleep either.

The two were talking about something.

Everyone in the world knows that this generation's Emperor is diligent, often staying up all night for government affairs.

Of course, most of the time, that person was Grand Secretary Zhang.

I heard that because Grand Secretary Zhang rarely went home, he felt guilty towards his wife at home, which gradually led to the title of being afraid of his wife.

But tonight, it was replaced by Gu Changsheng.

Suddenly.

Gu Changsheng looked up, first surprised, and finally a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, bowing: "Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Just finished speaking.

The Emperor also felt something, revealing a knowing smile.

Li Rui is about to break through to the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm.

"It is indeed a happy event; three Heavenly Phenomenon experts in ten years is a sign of the prosperity of the country, and I am very comforted."

"Minister Li is truly my lucky star."

Thinking that the person undergoing tribulation was Li Rui, the Emperor was even more interested.

He immediately pulled Gu Changsheng to walk out of the Imperial Study together.

The two looked up, gazing at the tribulation cloud covering the capital not far away; apart from the two of them, I don't know how many people in the capital were awakened by the thunder of the tribulation cloud, one by one coming to the street, stretching their necks, watching with fascination.

"Not bad, not bad, six-colored true thunder, it's the same as Minister Jiang."

About an hour later.

The tribulation cloud dissipated.

It was six-colored true thunder again.

The Emperor laughed heartily: "Changsheng, how do I remember that Minister Li only broke through to the Profound Realm not long ago."

Gu Changsheng: "Twenty-one years."

Hearing twenty-one years, a trace of surprise flashed in the Emperor's eyes.

There are really not many things in this world that can surprise this Lord of the Dragon Court.

The Emperor: "Isn't that only one year worse than Dingting?"

Gu Changsheng nodded: "Indeed."

"Changsheng, how many years did you take?"

Gu Changsheng answered: "Thirty-seven years."

The Emperor's eyes were even brighter: "With Minister Li, this is the blessing of Great Yu."

Turning his head to Eunuch Zheng on the side, he said: "Seek Zilu, I... want to grant amnesty to the world."

"Heavenly Phenomenon?!"

Zhou Tong, who had already drifted away, looked at the gradually dissipating six-colored true thunder, his eyes complex.

This is too coincidental.

Li Rui actually broke through to the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm, achieving the Second Rank.

A Heavenly Phenomenon Realm powerhouse.

That is no longer something he can handle, even a prince can't.

It's not just a matter of strength, but also a matter of the Emperor's majesty.

That is a forbidden zone that cannot be touched.

He understood.

The candidate on that booklet is afraid that Li Rui's name will be crossed out.

"Forget it."

"Pity..."

He naturally knew that Li Rui actually only took twenty-one years to break through to the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm; this speed was only worse than Yuan Dingting alone.

Such bone structure and talent.

If he could be obtained by the Fifth Prince, I'm afraid there would be real hope for the First Rank.

It's just that he finally missed the best timing.

Zhou Tong made a decisive decision and didn't go there anymore.

His whole person disappeared into the alleys of the capital.

"Phew."

Li Rui slowly exhaled a breath.

The tribulation cloud dissipated.

Yuan An then walked over, his eyes shining: "Master..."

Li Rui nodded at Yuan An with a smile.

Ning Zhongtian and Tan Hu both went out to perform tasks, and apart from the servants, only Yuan An was left in the house.

Yuan An could be said to have observed a Heavenly Phenomenon tribulation at close range.

Such an opportunity is extremely rare.

'Heavenly Phenomenon...'

Yuan An was faintly excited to the point of trembling.

Although he inherited his mother's appearance, looking like a weak scholar, in his bones, he still had the heart of a powerhouse like his father, Yuan Dingting.

There were quite a few Heavenly Phenomenon experts in the Marquis Dingyuan's mansion, and he was already accustomed to it.

But observing the power of a Heavenly Phenomenon expert at such close range today made his whole person incomparably excited, his heart surging.

Li Rui slowly stood up.

Not bad.

He had just undergone tribulation again.

He had already undergone a tribulation in his body before, but that was actually the tribulation of the Immortal Dao, and Li Rui actually had two Great Daos.

The Immortal Dao had undergone it, but the Profound Dao had not.

Today's tribulation thunder was brought by the Profound Dao.

Everything was planned by him long ago.

Li Rui turned his head and glanced at the direction Zhou Tong left.

Deterring evil with power.

Zhu Gan was investigating him, not knowing that he was also secretly investigating this prince.

So he had always been paying attention.

And set up a formation around the house.

If it were in the Profound Realm, he might not necessarily be able to detect Zhou Tong coming to the mansion, but he is a Heavenly Phenomenon expert... so when Zhou Tong came to the side of the house, Li Rui had already detected Zhou Tong's existence.

Killing a close minister of a prince is undoubtedly stupid.

And this is the capital, with too many powerhouses watching.

So Li Rui chose to directly draw the tribulation thunder again.

To deter external enemies.

Otherwise, being spied on by a prince all the time is not a good thing.

And he is now standing firmly in the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm, and ordinary Heavenly Phenomenon experts are really not his opponents.

He was waiting for a suitable opportunity.

Zhou Tong's appearance made him make up his mind.

Revealing forty percent is wisdom, but if you hide everything, making others feel you are easy to bully, that is not worth the loss.

Like that Zhou Tong, wasn't he deterred by his Heavenly Phenomenon momentum.

A Heavenly Phenomenon expert is enough to make a prince retreat.

In Yuan An's joyful gaze.

Li Rui was about to return to the room.

He heard a knock on the door.

At this time, the servants had all been awakened, and the gatekeeper was about to open the door.

Li Rui said: "Go to sleep, I'll do it."

After speaking, he pushed the door open himself.

Gu Changsheng, Jiang Linxian.

"Congratulations, Li Laoge."

As soon as the door opened, he heard Gu Changsheng laughing and bowing to congratulate him.

Entering the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm is a First Rank congratulation.

This scene is quite grand.

If others knew, it would be another beautiful story.

I heard that there are quite a few storytellers in various places who use Li Rui as a model; if they knew, they could add a heavy stroke to the material.

"Tower Master, Brother Jiang."

Unlike Gu Changsheng.

Jiang Linxian knew Li Rui's situation.

He was puzzled in his heart.

Li Rui had clearly broken through to the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm, why could he still draw tribulation thunder now?

However, he didn't ask.

Everyone has their own secrets; Li Rui was willing to tell him his secrets, that was brotherly affection, and he would naturally say it when he wanted to, but if he asked, that would be breaking the rules between brothers.

Just believe it.

And if it comes to secrets, how could his be less?

'My old brother is an extraordinary person, and naturally does extraordinary things.'

Jiang Linxian was deeply convinced of his judgment back then.

And now it seems that Li Rui might be even stronger than him.

Gu Changsheng looked at Li Rui with a smile:

"Li Laoge, don't worry, the Emperor already knows about the breakthrough, and I will take care of the promotion later..."

Afterwards.

A piece of news that shocked the world spread throughout Great Yu.

The Emperor of Yu wanted to grant amnesty to the world.

It was said that it was because Heavenly Phenomenon experts had achieved the Dao in the capital one after another, a grand event not seen in three thousand years, a sign of the prosperity of the empire.

As for Li Rui's official position.

It still needed to be discussed.

I heard that it was mainly because Gu Changsheng rarely competed with Grand Secretary Zhang for people, and the Emperor was in a dilemma because of this.

In a courtyard of the Imperial Palace.

"I know."

The Fifth Prince, Zhu Gan, had an ugly face, just nodding slightly at Zhou Tong.

Li Rui broke through.

Three candidates became two.

In fact, his favorite target was still Li Rui, not only because of Li Rui's identity, but also because he had a feeling that the secrets on Li Rui might be even greater than he imagined.

The unknown is the most attractive.

It's a pity that it's no longer possible.

A Heavenly Phenomenon Realm powerhouse is no longer something he can move.

If the Emperor knew he had killed a Heavenly Phenomenon minister, I'm afraid that even if he became a First Rank, there would be absolutely no possibility of inheriting the throne.

Only palace change remains.

Unless he was crazy, he couldn't do such a thing.

Zhou Tong also spoke at this time: "Your Highness, Li Rui has broken through, let's choose other targets."

"Old Zhou is right."

Zhu Gan nodded.

Even if he is a prince, some things cannot be done, otherwise even his uncle, the Imperial Preceptor, cannot protect him.

This kind of thing, he still understands.

After Zhou Tong left.

Zhu Gan sat back by the window, picking up the fallen book.

Flipping through it.

But his mind was completely not on it.

After an hour passed.

Zhu Gan suddenly spoke: "Call General Ben here."

The little eunuch at the door responded, and not long after, Ben Shi appeared in front of Zhu Gan.

Zhu Gan put down the book in his hand and said lightly: "General Ben, prepare the carriage, I want to go out."

Ben Shi said in a muffled voice: "Your Highness, where to?"

"Pingyuan Earl's Mansion."
