Volume Two, Temples, Rivers and Lakes Chapter 95, Your Majesty's Holy Wisdom, Lost and Welcomed(1/2)
Chapter 95: Your Majesty is wise and you will be welcomed by mistake
Capital.
The Chakong Hall.
The old emperor lying on his side with a soft sandalwood couch, pillowing on the golden silkworm woven by this year's spring silkworms. Looking at the appeal memorial, the old eunuch Cao Yan stood respectfully, and the two palace maids behind him gently swayed the long-handled feather fan to drive the emperor.
mosquito.
The incense in the hall was misty, and two important officials wearing purple robes and wearing shawls were sitting on the side, holding the leather belt inlaid with gold and jade around their waists with their hands.
The purple robe was a first-rank ward in the current dynasty, and there was no need to bow to the emperor when he advised the emperor. In the current dynasty, he was a person with honors such as the Three Divisions and Three Dukes.
It was Taishi Qi and Taifu Xiao.
This time, the emperor came to make the emperor's sudden pardon for Zhao Zhengli.
It would be fine if he was pardoned, but why did he also grant him the title of the Chief Lieutenant of Changning Army on Hedong Road?
They are all the emperor's confidants, so there is no need to learn from others to think randomly. Therefore, they retired from the court today and then faced the saint alone to explore the old emperor's true intentions.
Not hiding their minds is the way they both want to survive, and it is also in line with the old emperor's appetite for controlling people.
But how many stupid people can be in the position of Taishi and Taishi have been in the past and present? It is nothing more than knowing how to follow the pros and cons of the situation and pretending to be wise and foolish.
The old emperor looked at the words "The Rebellion" revealed between the lines of the letters, and the words "The Rebellion" were full of smiles.
Combined with the reasons for their reward of one million gold, it can be seen that the two hated the rebels more than the emperor.
He was very pleased.
After a long time, slowly put down the memorial, looked at Taishi Qi Taifu Xiao with a smile on his face, and finally fell on Taishi Qi who was full of wrinkles: "Brother Longbi, if you remember correctly, you are already in the eighth year.
Is it more than ten years of dynasties?"
He turned to the younger Mr. Xiao again: "Brother Xiao is over his seventies!"
The two of them were like two monks, confused and thought that the old emperor disliked his old age or had committed something recently, which was a sign of persuading the wise to give up.
The two of them were thinking a lot. Finally, the Taifu Xiao looked at his elder brother, Tai Shi Qi. Tai Shi stood up and treated the lord and ministerial courtesy to the old emperor: "Go back to Your Majesty, the old minister is eighty-three this year." Then he sighed and said, "People are there."
Although I am old, my heart is not old, and my original intention to serve Your Majesty is still there."
The Grand Tutor Xiao also hurriedly agreed: "The same is true for the old minister!"
The old emperor was full of emotion, as if he had returned to the era of disputes between the ten countries: "I have been working with me for a lifetime, so I will naturally give you a stable old age. I pardon Zhao Zhengli, arrange him to go north to Hedong Road, and grant him the fourth rank of Changning Army
When he got on the Light Vehicle Commander, he had no real power to hold his title. All he wanted was to let him take the Jianghu to the border and use the Jianghu power to resist the Khitan, Tubo, and Xixia."
Tai Shi Qi added: "What if the remains of the rioters led the world to disrupt the border? Or were they attracted by other countries, which would be detrimental to Qing State?"
The old emperor waved his hand: "Then Zhao Zhengli and the Tubo Western Xia Khitan and other countries have completely broken apart, which is well known in the world. Secondly, although he has no father or mother, he is even hostile to the dynasty, but Qingchengshan and his seven senior brothers are there.
Of course I will not be a treason, this has been fulfilled in the shores of the East China Sea two days ago.”
Then he sighed: "I am not a ruthless person. I believe you two know the secret of his parents. Besides, although Zhao Tianshi does not care about civil affairs, he has never asked about his parents' affairs. He has been diligent for the country over the years.
He worked diligently, but after all, he had a vague relationship with Zhao Zhengli. If he could kill all his worldly hearts, it would be difficult to protect him."
Mr. Xiao said, "Just a great master, what are you afraid of?"
The old emperor asked back: "What if Qingcheng Mountain participates? As soon as we know that the second Taoist has touched the threshold of the land gods, he even went down the mountain to support Zhao Zhengli, pushed the northern Shaolin and Cangzhou Du family, and recently fought against the four major forces in Dengzhou.
Grandmaster, I guess the head is also among the best, and I won’t talk about the other real people. At that time, if you have a straitor, you will use tens of thousands or even more than 100,000 people to encircle a sect in the martial arts world? Even if you win, you will also hurt the foundation of the country.
What if the border attacks at that time?”
The two were silent for a moment. At first, Zhao Hongyun didn't have to care too much. Even as the guest Tianshi of Longhu Mountain, Zhang Tianshi of Longhu's original sect would not follow him to oppose the court.
But now with the Qingcheng Sect, the backer of the Qingcheng Sect, also understand why the old emperor suddenly issued an order to pardon the son of the rebel minister who was originally determined to be.
After all, destroying the sects of Jianghu is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the gain is not worth the effort. According to the businessman's perspective, it is a loss-making business.
Therefore, the temple and the rivers are often the best water and the river water.
The old emperor continued: "The rivers and lakes and temples have finally been quiet for two years, and those rebellious people are also ready to move. The Qing Kingdom is a harmonious place on the surface, and the internal situation has begun to surging. The Khitan and other countries have clamored many times, I don't want to create branches outside the silence.
, de-intensify conflicts in the world."
Then he sighed: "If this force in the martial arts world can be united with the border army to resist external strength, the Qing Kingdom is destined to be peaceful for a long time."
The two great masters and tutors were silent for a long time, and when they said this, they understood the emperor's intentions and concerns. One thing is certain that the remains of the rioters were really pardoned, and they were also arranged to go north to the desolate border. The border was bitter and cold, and the war was endless.
Unexpectedly, he has no chance of being in the court in this life.
The two of them figured out this and bowed their heads deeply and bowed: "Your Majesty is wise."
——
The waves were rising and falling on the vast East Sea, and several pirates set sail to surround the big ship, which turned its rudder and evacuated to the northwest.
The pirates who were slightly closer had entered a hundred meters, and the old captain shouted "shooting arrows". The ship was lit up with bows and crossbows, and was filled with fuel to throw stone tools.
Arrows pass by like locusts, and fireballs fall like comets.
The person who had been standing steadily on the sailboat moved at this moment, and actually pulled up a long cloth to suck the sharp arrows flying in the air, and then whirled the fireballs away, then threw out the sharp arrows wrapped.
"Swish!"
The arrow feathers turned back at double speed. The guy on the deck on the boat was so shocked that he was bulging with his eyes. The burning fireball was kicked away with one foot? Can a piece of cloth cover the sharp arrow? The key is that the speed of throwing and returning is faster than pulling the bowstring.
.This has exceeded their cognition. They instinctively buried their heads in evading when they looked at the galloping back.
However, after waiting for a few breaths, I didn't hear the sound of the clanging arrow falling on the deck, nor did I feel the pain of my unfortunately being shot in the arrow or the wailing of my companions.
When they looked up vigilantly, they saw the unforgettable scene. The rain of arrows that had gone hundreds of times and returned hovered one foot away from the void, as if they were fixed by some mysterious force.
At that time, the shipmates with a confused look looked around and saw the handsome young man in white robe wave his sleeves, and the sharp arrow hovered outside turned and shot out suddenly.
The speed is so fast that the naked eye cannot capture the trajectory.
The next moment I heard the pirate sails snorted, the canvas was broken, the sail pole was broken, the hull was penetrated, and screamed in pain. Even the "fairy figure" who had just kicked the fireball and used the cloth to cover the sharp arrows with the cloth would inevitably suffer.
A few pirate sails a little further away turned around and fled when they saw the situation. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was a master on the other side. They didn't think they could act as millions of soldiers and waste the other side to death.
The situation reversed too quickly. If it weren't for the sailboats gradually drowning in the ocean and the blood that had not yet dispersed, the boatmen would have thought they had hallucinated.
The dark and fat old captain was as dumbfounded as he was a ghost, his mouth was wide open, not covering his scarce and yellowed old teeth.
All I heard was the handsome young man in white robe saying lightly: "Stop going east!"
The sound was not loud, but it was clearly heard into everyone's ears, and his tone was as calm as if he had slapped a few fly.
The old captain dared not neglect such a god-like figure, and quickly reacted: "Okay, okay, Yuan Zhenren goes into the cabin to rest, no, Yuan Shenxian, Yuan Tianren!"
Yuan Chaoyang smiled: "It's better to call Master Yuan appropriate!"
The dark and fat old captain grinned and smiled silly, but his forehead was sweating profusely, and he secretly felt glad that he did not disrespect these five people. If the Du family's parents had not reminded him repeatedly, he would have been unable to guarantee the thirst below.
The rough man had bad thoughts about the three fairy-like beauties.
The rough man boatmen who were usually big and thick-waisted were also silent at this moment, and even became careful in their breathing, for fear of hindering the spiritual energy of several immortals.
Thinking of my earlier attitude, my spine sweated heavily.
Yuan Chaoyang and the other two returned to the cabin as if nothing had happened. However, after this incident, the status of several people on the ship was infinitely improved, just as they were about to offer to burn incense and worship.
After spending three days like this, I encountered two storms and twists and turns, both of which were taken advantage of under the command of the experienced old captain.
Even though I skipped several islands, I could see the movements of people in scattered stars, and a few practitioners who practice Taoism looked across the sea, but it did not cause any big trouble.
Early in the morning of the fourth day.
The vast East China Sea turned white and a black dragon lying across the East China Sea, blocking the connection between the sea and the sky.
When the first ray of sunrise rises and the sky and earth gradually become brighter, you can see clearly the true appearance of the "Black Dragon" and it is a lush and lush continent.
According to the old captain, it was Donghai City Island. More than ten years ago, it was a place where pirates gathered, and all passing sailing ships were called "evil islands".
About seven or eight years ago, the overall situation of the reunification of the Qing Kingdom was decided. The loyal ministers of the late Tang Dynasty who failed to restore the country during the chaotic times of the ten countries retreated all the way eastward and finally swept across the Middle East to cross the sea in the Qing Kingdom.
It was also because of this that he accidentally found this huge island. Li Xiaozhong and his remaining soldiers landed on the island and occupied a place.
Li Xiaozhong recuperated for several months, and the regular soldiers he led naturally crushed the mob on the island, was good at attacking and attacking his scheming, almost unstoppable. Pirates either surrendered and were recruited, or were ruthlessly pushed.
After less than a year, the island was completely controlled and renamed "Donghai City".
Soon, the Qing Kingdom learned that in order to eliminate the disaster, it launched several encirclements and suppressions. However, Donghai City became more and more reliable and powerful during the encirclement. It was not until the Qing Kingdom in recent years that it relaxed the island without any clones in the north.
While chatting, the island gradually approached and magnified inch by inch. Zhao Zhengli and Yuan Chaoyang discussed and decided to bypass Donghai City and go east.
If they landed on this island, news would probably be transmitted to Qingguo within half a month.
Although the two places are separated by a vast sea, the city lord and the court are also hostile, the monks who come and go are free, and the news will inevitably leak out. At that time, Qingcheng Mountain may be difficult to raise its head in the world.
However, things went against my wishes, and three two people appeared in the air on the huge island.
Three or five major ships also set off at the island pier.
A long distance away, I heard Lao Mai laughing.
"I have been separated for a few days in the east sea in Dengzhou. The old Yang Sili and the city lord came across the sea with fellow Daoist Yuan. There is no way to welcome him, and there is no way to welcome him! Haha!"
It can be heard that the other person is in a happy mood or even surprised.
