Chapter 98 Listening to an Empress
The middle-aged man is Tianhai Chengwu. Since his father Tianhai Youguo died twenty years ago, he has become the head of the contemporary Tianhai family. Under his leadership, the Tianhai family has become more and more prosperous. Sometimes, people will even forget that he is the nephew of the Holy Queen.
In the context of the Holy Queen Mother's rule, he can do this, I have to say that this is a great compliment
"The old people are very powerful, and even I dare not easily tease them... Shengxue did too naively. As uncle Shi, you not only did not stop him, but instead opened the door to him. Do you just want him to see how much blood will shed in the end?"
Xu Shiji walked to the chair in front of him and sat down, looked out of the courtyard wall indifferently, and said, "If someone dies, the Bishop will always pay some price."
Xue Xingchuan managed the Imperial Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty. As a subordinate whom the Holy Empress also trusted, he was transferred from the front line and was responsible for the public security of the Kyoto districts. Today, so many idle people could gather in front of the sect office. Without his tacit approval, it would not have happened.
"What's the price? Could it be that he will be driven out of the sect? You are all wrong. The worse his relationship with the Pope, the stronger his position will be, because now, he is the only one in the state religion who can compete with the Pope in terms of qualifications, so my aunt... needs him."
Tianhai Chengwu said: "Whoever my aunt likes will be glorious, such as Xu Yourong and Mo Yu, whoever my aunt value will be proud, such as you and Xue Xingchuan, but nothing can compare to the need... because this represents uniqueness and a certain equal qualification."
"Don't try to tease the sleeping fox in the sect master."
He stared at Xu Shiji and said, "I have seen this person Meilisha for decades and haven't seen through it... How could a young man like Shengxue be his opponent?"
Xu Shiji was silent for a moment and said, "Doesn't you need to do anything?"
Tianhai Chengwu knew what he was concerned about, looked at him lightly and said, "The marriage letter has been told to the world that the more such temptations are, the less meaningful it will become. Instead, it will become more and more troublesome, because when things get bigger, it will be difficult to kill people."
Xu Shiji frowned slightly and said nothing.
"I can't understand why that young man has been in Kyoto for several months. Why did you kill him at the beginning and endure it until the end of the day when he was turned over with his wedding book at the Qingteng Banquet? This is not your style of doing things."
Tian Hai Chengwu looked at him and said slightly annoyed.
Xu Shiji rarely sees this emotion on his face, and knows that he is really annoyed.
The Tianhai family has always had good friends with the southern people. On the surface, it was in accordance with the original national policy of the Great Zhou Dynasty and vigorously promoted the confluence of the north and the south. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knew what the owner of the Tianhai family valued the most - the tendency of the southern people will play a very important role in his future competition for the throne.
From this point of view, whether it is national affairs or family affairs or the imperial chair, the marriage between the Dongyu Shen General's Mansion and the Akiyama family is a very critical part of it, but now I have encountered a lot of trouble and that trouble should have been erased by Xu Shiji very early on.
"Yourong writes, don't let him touch him." Xu Shiji said after being silent for a moment.
Tian Hai Chengwu slapped the armrest of the bamboo chair in annoyance, and snapped: "That's your daughter."
Xu Shiji looked slightly a little awkward and said, "She also wrote a letter to Mo Yu. I'm not sure if the Empress has read it."
The bamboo forest suddenly became quiet.
After a long time, Tianhai Chengwu sighed and said, "I thought my Tianhai family was just an excuse to stand up for that little monster Yaer. Not many people understood that I really wanted to crush that guy named Chen Changsheng into pieces."
"Yes, Ya'er is from the sixth house, and it's a little far from the long house, but the little guy really has potential... He entered the upper realm at a young age. You should know very well what this means. If he ranks in the Qingyun List, the little guy can easily enter the top twenty."
There have always been many statements about Tianhai'er's realm in Kyoto. It was not until the first night of the Qingteng Banquet that some clues were seen, but what they saw was different from the owner of Tianhai's family's personal admission, and Xu Shiji's expression became even more serious.
Tian Hai Chengwu's eyes were burning with a faint fire: "When it comes to the potential of cultivation, he is stronger than Shengxue, and he doesn't know how strong he is than Shengxue's three brothers. He will be in the upper realm at such a young age. If everything goes well, he will definitely reach the threshold of Tongyou within five years. If he is lucky enough to die when he passes through the border, he will be younger than... Akiyama Jun Tongyou, but he is just abolished."
Xu Shiji said with a mute expression: "What exactly do you want to say?"
"I want Chen Chang to live and die."
Tian Hai Chengwu looked at him with a smile and said, "No one can move Your Highness Luoluo, and Chen Changsheng is not easy to move now, but you are different. You are his future father-in-law. What you want to do to him is much more convenient than others."
Listening to this, Xu Shiji's face became extremely ugly. After the Qingteng Banquet, he became a joke in Kyoto City - everyone knew that he loved the poor and loved the rich, although the truth was not so simple, it was probably the case - the wedding book kept slapping him in the face.
As long as the National Education College is still in Kyoto and Chen Changsheng still exists in the world for one day, this shame will last for one day. He has no fondness for Chen Changsheng. He can be said to be the person in the world who wants Chen Changsheng to die the most, but at the same time he is also the person who cannot do the trick the most.
I don’t know how many people stared at the Dongyu God General’s Mansion and wanted to see how he would deal with it, especially the old people in the National Cult. I am afraid that he will take action. If he really dares to attack Chen Changsheng, it will be another big storm, and it may even drag down the Holy Queen.
Xu Shiji would never take such a risk. He stared into Tianhai Chengwu's eyes, trying to see what the owner of the Tianhai family, who is known for his domineering and powerfulness, was thinking: "If it were the past, killing would be killing, but not now."
"Don't the God General want to share the worries of my Tianhai family?" Tianhai Chengwu stood up and said indifferently as he looked at him.
Xu Shiji understood the other party's meaning, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Sir, I am the Godly General appointed by the Holy Queen."
After saying this, he turned around and walked out of the garden.
Tian Hai Chengwu looked at his back and said, "Is that so? Then what did you talk about when you met His Highness Chenliu last time?"
Xu Shiji did not stop, as if he had not heard his words at all.
In the early morning of autumn rain, the sky was better than snow and came on horseback, intending to break through the gate of the National Education College and crush it. Chen Changsheng and the other two stopped it. Another golden and jade rule emerged, forcing the other party to return without success. Then, the people besieged the National Education College, and the horses neighed in front of the Education Center, and the people were bleeding.
In just one day, several conflicts occurred around the National Education College and Chen Changsheng, the two new and old factions in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although it was not bloody, it could be said to be a tit-for-tat confrontation. For a moment, the atmosphere in Kyoto became extremely tense, and many people remembered those days more than ten years ago.
Fortunately, the scale and level of the conflict were strictly controlled, and the forces of the old and new sides were relatively calm or rational, because the Holy Grace and the Pope never made any statements, and the entire Kyoto was in a faint confrontation, and the symbolic significance of the National Education College, which was the cause of the incident, became increasingly strong.
Whether this academy can continue to be opened, where will Chen Changsheng's fate go, and whether the marriage letter will be directly torn down by the great people through the hearts and opinions of the people, it depends on the judgment of the Holy Grace and the Pope on the whole situation.
"The late emperor ascended the throne for 400 years, and his health was bad. Because he liked piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and was not patient with the complexity of political affairs, the empress began to comment on behalf of the emperor and handle state affairs. Now, after careful calculation, he has been in power for more than 200 years. He has been in power for all his government. Most of the gods and famous ministers come from his subordinates. Otherwise, after the death of the late emperor, how could the empress as a throne? No matter how angry the royal family is, the ministers cannot accept it. After a bloodbath, he is still honest like a sheep."
"Of course, the Holy Queen is amazing. As for why it is amazing, I really don't know. I only know that my grandfather, who is so arrogant and unrestrained, has been staying in Wenshui for many years and has been scolding the people of the Tianhai family like shit. But no matter in front of others, in the hall or in the dark room, I dare not say a bad word to the Holy Queen."
"All things about the Great Zhou Dynasty depend on the attitude of the Holy Empress. Now she is in good health, but she always has to think about what will happen later. Who will give the throne of the Great Zhou Dynasty? The Empress can use her supreme prestige to shock those court officials, and the Pope must remain silent. But if the throne is not finally handed over to the hands of the Chen royal family, then neither Tianhai Chengwu nor the most experienced Tianhai Chengwen will be able to deter those opposition forces. But if the throne is returned to the Chen royal family, after all, the Tianhai family will definitely be cleansed. After her surname is Tianhai, how can she bear to watch this scene happen?"
"So the Empress must be very hesitant now. The struggle between the old and new forces is because of the Empress's hesitation that both sides have seen opportunities and dangers. Unfortunately, our National Education College has become a symbol of this confrontation. The Pope brought Luo Luo to the Affiliated Hospital of the Palace, which has shown a certain attitude. If the Holy Empress also had that attitude, then the National Education College would be in danger. Not to mention His Highness Luo Luo, the people who the Holy Empress really wanted to kill will not be able to protect the White Emperor."
Tang Sanshiliu looked at Chen Changsheng and finally said, "If I were you, what I had to do now is to find a way to find the Holy Queen, then kneel down in front of her, hug her thighs, complain about her grievances, and then ask her to be fair."
Chen Changsheng thought for a long time and said, "So, how can I find her?"
Tang Sanshiliu was quiet for a while, and suddenly shouted out of the window with annoyance: "Has the meal been done yet?"
