The core of Dayin Imperial City is Kunpeng Palace.

Kunpeng Palace is the place where Emperor Dayin holds court meetings, palace banquets, receives foreign envoys, and meets with princes from all directions.

The core of Kunpeng Palace is Fuyao Palace.

This is the main hall where Emperor Dayin summoned his ministers to hold grand court meetings and discuss important state affairs.

The base of the Fuyao Hall is named after the idea of ​​"the great roc spreads its wings and soars up to the ninth heaven". The base has nine floors from bottom to top, and each floor is nine zhang high. The bottom floor is square, and the side length is also nine li.

The Fuyao Hall at the top of the nine-tiered platform is dark blue in color, with double eaves and arched beams. It is extremely large, like a giant beast crawling on high, overlooking all the creatures below.

In such a huge Fuyao Palace, Lu Yi stood on the lowest step of the pedestal and was trying to get close to several powerful eunuchs, including the chief eunuch of the Sibaojian and the chief eunuch of the Bingzhangjian.

Several old eunuchs had witnessed Lu Yi’s magical powers when he was exterminating the female ghost last night.

They were also the confidants and close ministers of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, and they knew that Lu Fu must be a noble man who would rise to the top overnight, so Lu Fu was respectful to them, and they all smiled and tried to make friends with him.

As the two sides were talking about entering the port, an angry Lu Yu came running over, pointed at Lu Yi's nose and started cursing.

Things like 'a poor and unlucky child', 'an ungrateful puppy', 'an unfilial son who brought shame to the Lu family of Jingyang', etc., Lu Yu "blah-blah" spouted off for a long time as Lu Yi and several old eunuchs looked at him in astonishment.

"Okay, Lu Yu, you don't have to be a member of our Jingyang Lu family anymore."

"I have already made an agreement with Madam Tian'en that you, your father, your grandfather, your great-grandfather, and four generations of your lineage will all be kicked out of the family tree. From now on, you are no longer members of the Jingyang Lu family."

"Go back and find a coroner to move your great-grandfather's bones out of the ancestral tomb."

"Also, your grandfather died on the battlefield. There is no body left. You should move his tomb with clothes and hats in the ancestral tomb and bury him in a random ravine."

"It really makes me mad."

"You rebellious bastard, you rejected the match made in heaven for Miss Bai and instead degraded yourself by joining the eunuch party!"

"We, our brothers, what have we done to you?" Lu Yuxun and Lu Yi, several old eunuchs were at a loss and could not come back to their senses for a while.

But scolding Lu Yi as a "eunuch party" in front of these old eunuchs?

Some old eunuchs didn't like to hear it.

The chief of the Treasure Bureau laughed, stepped down the steps, stood in front of Lu Yu, and slapped Lu Yu's hand away from his nose: "Duke Lai, tell me, what did we do to you?"

Lu Yu looked at the old eunuchs who were staring at him viciously with eyes as sharp as knives. His heart twitched and his whole body suddenly turned cold.

He doesn't have the courage to go against these eunuchs.

He opened his mouth and uttered "ah" a few times, but couldn't utter a word.

Another old eunuch wearing a purple robe, with a giant one-horned gecko coiled on his chest and nine blood-red stars on his back, laughed and swayed with every step, like an old hen that had just laid eggs. He walked to Lu Yu's side, laughing and swaying.

"Duke Lai, our family will get closer to you in the future... On November 9th of the previous year, your family's steward forced the purchase of 200 acres of prime paddy fields from Yinmaifang, forcing three kind-hearted old farmers to death, a total of 23 people, young and old."

Lu Yu hurriedly shook his head: "I didn't."

"On November 17th before the Lunar New Year, your supervisor forced three girls from a good family to marry and broke the legs of their father and brother. They went to the Min'anfang magistrate's office to file a complaint, but your family's name card was used to erase the case."

Lu Yu's eyes widened: "I didn't!"

"On December 1st of the previous year, it was the anniversary of Taizu's death. According to the law, all nobles and officials should bathe, fast, burn incense and pray for Taizu at home... That night, you went to the 'Swallow Sparrow Tower' and fought with the two most popular girls."

Lu Yu's face turned pale: "I, absolutely not!"

The old eunuch smiled sinisterly and poked Lu Yu's chest again and again with his fingers: "If you say no, then no. What can we, a group of poor servants, do to you? But Lord Lu Yi is the emperor's man. You insult the emperor's close ministers so brazenly in front of us, the emperor's servants..."

Lu Yi smiled and waved his hands at the old eunuch: "Lao Ma, Lao Ma, he is my uncle, so just scold him, what's the big deal? But you are right, I am a close minister of the emperor, scolding me is scolding the emperor!"

"Does my uncle have a lot of scandals in the palace guards?" Lu Yi asked the old eunuch with a smile in front of Lu Yu.

The old eunuch surnamed Ma smiled very kindly: "Not much, not much, compared to other nobles, it is a little less, only about twenty pounds."

The black file that records various illegal and irregular activities actually weighs more than twenty kilograms?

The job of the Palace Guard is to monitor the nobles and officials, to keep black files on them, and when necessary, to frame them with crimes and convict them and put them in jail, strip them of their titles, or even confiscate their property and exile them, or even execute their entire family!

Lu Yu looked at the red robe on Lu Yi and the large gecko pattern on his chest, and suddenly remembered what Lu Yi's current identity was.

Cold sweat suddenly broke out from his forehead.

If the founding Duke of Lai was here, any eunuch guarding the palace who dared to speak to him like that would have been slapped to the ground, and would have been half dead if not dead.

But the current Duke of Lai’s Mansion... the current Duke of Lai, Lu Yu!
Lu Yu's waist slightly bent, and he trembled as he said, "Those things are absolutely fabricated. My Laiguo Mansion is a scholarly family. How could we possibly do such things as taking away people's land, forcibly buying women, and even doing such disrespectful things?"

"One thousand strings of cash, let's just settle this matter." Lu Yi looked at Lu Yu with a smile: "Let's just settle this matter today... We'll settle it slowly in the future. Ha, move my ancestral grave?"

There was a fierce murderous intent in Lu Yu's voice.

In past and present lives, the ancestral graves were moved, and that was all due to the deep hatred and blood feud that would never end. Lu Yi looked at Lu Yu with a smile, his eyes were bloodshot, like a severely injured beast, his whole body was filled with a bloodthirsty impulse.

If Lu Yi was just a sixteen-year-old young man, he would have drawn his sword and killed Lu Yu on the spot!

"Duke Lai, if you want to move the tomb, that's fine. I'll go after I'm done with these two days... But my family is poor, so please pay me in advance for the labor." Lu Yi put his left hand on the hilt of his sword and said word by word, "Otherwise, if I accidentally break the feng shui of the ancestral tomb when I move the tomb... Hehe!"

Lu Yu's eyes widened, he looked at Lu Yi angrily and said, "You dare?"

Lu Yi lowered his voice and said with a smile on his face: "Guess? I, a eunuch, have no shame. Do you think I dare?"

The old eunuchs on the side laughed "hehehe", and each of them laughed extremely happily and brilliantly.

Lu Yu's ruthlessness and murderous aura at this moment were very much to their liking.

That's right, we have to be ruthless to these nobles and officials, because they are the ones guarding the palace, the close ministers of the emperor, and the family members of this group of "eunuchs"!

The sound of steady footsteps was heard.

Bai Changkong and several court officials dressed in purple robes and with calm demeanor walked over here.

"Duke Lai, you are here." Bai Changkong waved at Lu Yu and said with a smile on his face, "After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Cuiwei Peak will host the first issue of Caiwei Review this year. I would like to invite you to be the secretary. Would you be willing to do so?"

Lu Yu, who had been frightened by Lu Yi's words and dared not speak, suddenly became ecstatic.

He almost danced with joy, threw Lu Yi aside, rushed in front of Bai Changkong, bowed deeply to Bai Changkong, and his head almost touched the ground.

When the nobles on the side saw Lu Yu's behavior, some sneered, some sneered, some were envious and jealous, and some stammered and walked towards this side step by step, as if they wanted to get in touch with Bai Changkong through Lu Yu.

Lu Yi coughed heavily.

Lu Yu's body shuddered. He stood up, hesitated for a moment, turned around, ran to Lu Yi, raised his head, pulled out a white deer coin from his sleeve and stuffed it into Lu Yi's hand: "I will not bother with you. If you do something wrong, your family has the right to punish you. Even the emperor and the queen mother cannot control the Lu family of Jingyang!"

Speaking of the four words "Jingyang Lu Family", Lu Yu seemed to have gained endless power out of thin air. His momentum returned and his face turned red.

Lu Yi smiled, looked at the words on the white deer coin, and casually stuffed it into the hands of the old eunuch named Ma.

Lu Yu made a mistake in his haste. On the white deer coin he pulled out, the words "worth two million coins" were clearly written.

Lu Yu asked him for one thousand strings of cash, which was about one million yuan. This time, Lu Yu obviously lost a lot.

Bai Changkong looked at this scene and tightened his face.

He pointed at Lu Yu and said loudly: "He has fallen into depravity and there is no cure for it."

Several purple-robed ministers looked at Lu Yi deeply, their eyes revealing a strong desire to explore.

He would rather join the eunuch party than marry Bai Changkong's granddaughter.

This matter...tsk!

It's worth touching.

Lu Yi clasped his fists and saluted towards Bai Changkong. He smiled and said, "You are loyal to the emperor, why would you degenerate? Hmm..."

Lu Yi remained silent. He squinted his eyes and looked Bai Changkong up and down.

For some reason, Bai Changkong felt a chill all over his body due to Lu Yi's gaze, and his hairs stood up involuntarily.

"This little dog is haunted." Bai Changkong remembered the ghost-catching drama in the imperial city last night. Somehow, he connected the incident to Lu Yi.

He looked at Lu Yi deeply, waved to Lu Yu, and took the happy Lu Yu back to the team of civil officials.

Several sharp sounds of breaking through the air were heard.

On the nine-tiered platform, strong eunuchs were waving whips, making very loud whip sounds.

Then, the sounds of golden bells, jade chimes, and cloud boards rang out one after another.

In front of the Fuyao Palace, huge fires were burning in nine bronze cauldrons. Buckets of expensive and rare spices were poured into the cauldrons without any cost. Green smoke rose into the sky and strange fragrance floated in the air.

"Team!" A young eunuch's long voice came from high above.

Lu Yi stood on the steps and looked at the civil and military officials below. There were nearly ten thousand of them, all lined up in neat rows according to their rank.
