Chapter Three Hundred and Sixty Three The Three Boxes of Zuixianlou
In the Xuanzi box, after it quieted down.
Gu Yiwu straightened his face and continued to speak.
"Tzuyu, I'm not joking. This Empress Dowager Dugu is really powerful. I am a little impressed and want to see her face. I don't know her full name. I think only people close to her can know it..."
"Brother Gu, I heard people say that the Li Dugu clan has no natal family, and there are no relatives of the Dugu clan in the court. I heard that she was born as a civilian girl, and all her relatives died. She met the late Emperor of Dali in the war years."
A student from the Justice Hall next to him suddenly added.
"Oh?" Gu Yiwu frowned, "A civilian daughter alone? This makes more sense. Why did most of the civil servants in the court support her? She listened to the government behind the curtain and raised the young emperor. In the end,
The imperial power must still be returned to the young emperor."
"It's just that I didn't expect that this Dugu family would have a humble background. I thought she was a woman from some ancient Liji family or the Xian family sect, who is so beautiful."
Gu Yiwu changed his words and said seriously:
"But it doesn't matter. The Empress Dowager Dugu is very good at taking advantage of the situation, especially our Confucianism, using Confucian scholars and orthodox ethics to control the Dali court and public opinion, and to deter dissidents."
"Of course, she herself has to set an example and practice the ethics without going beyond them."
"It must be because of this that our Linlu Academy agreed to confer Zen status on the young emperor of Dali, and Meng Xuezheng from the academy sent us to help her."
Gu Yiwu turned his head and squinted at the slender broom in the corner.
"Well, now that the little prince has ascended the throne and inherited the throne as he wished under the control of the Dugu family, the power of Dali has been handed over smoothly."
"It's just that there is a troublesome brother-in-law in the court who also has the identity of regent. Well, I don't know what the specific exchange of interests was for her to win over Li Mingyi. And outside the court, there is a Tiangao Emperor Yuan who controls
Zhou Dufu, who has millions of frontier troops, abides by the imperial edict of the previous dynasty."
"It should be difficult for the Dugu clan to deal with these two people in a short period of time. Well, Li Mingyi's threat is relatively better. As long as he uses clever methods and keeps suppressing him with the general trend, as the young emperor grows up, he can be completely cut off.
With this thought, you can now win over the Lord and stabilize him."
"What if, the regent Li Mingyi still has some other ideas in his heart? His ambition is not dead, but does he dare? He has missed the best opportunity. So what if he is a high-quality martial artist? He can control the general trend of the dynasty and the government and the opposition.
People’s support?”
"Under our Confucian ethics, the legitimacy of the emperor's throne seems to have no real power and is illusory. It can be trampled on at will in troubled times. However, in a dynasty that has established a stable country, the legitimacy of the emperor's throne is comparable to the Nine Provinces Xuanding.
A mountain can crush even a first-grade warrior to the point of being unable to move at all."
"Just like Zhou Dufu who controls the Western Army in the west now, so what if he controls millions of strings? Doesn't it still look like he was suppressed by the Dugu clan and Li Mingyi together and lost his righteousness?"
"As long as it is not overwhelming power that overturns the table and reignites chaos, it will be useless. It will only be a trap, waiting to be submerged by the general public opinion."
Gu Yiwu shook his head.
"But this does not mean that the mother and son can rest easy. The young emperor is still a young emperor after all, and there is still one last piece of firewood left to ignite the new dynasty's rising power..."
His words suddenly stopped.
Zhao Rong stood in front of the observation deck and squinted at the stage in the hall downstairs that was gradually becoming lively.
While tapping the back of the chair with his fingers, he listened quietly.
At this moment, his face was calm and he softly uttered two words.
"Feng Chan."
Gu Yiwu nodded and said slowly:
"The former emperor of Dali had previously implemented the ceremony of enshrining Zen in order to force his army to march southward, and he rode his horse to the north to watch the tower. As a result, he died in the middle. Most likely, the Dugu family focused on the ceremony of enshrining Zen, and wanted to use this important ceremony.
, as the strongest foundation for laying the throne of the young emperor."
He took a long breath, his voice a little emotional.
"The things that the previous Emperor Li used as icing on the cake have now become the most important life-saving talisman for the Young Emperor and the Dugu family. It can also be regarded as a trick of fortune."
"In this grand ceremony, once the young emperor has successfully sacrificed to heaven and earth, there is no need for any exaggerated auspiciousness like the goddess scattering flowers. Just have some appropriate auspiciousness so that the people of Dali can see it. The importance is no less than a month ago.
The Dugu clan dealt with various forces, and finally relied on the etiquette and teachings of our Confucian scholars to send the young prince to the throne."
"The throne of the Young Emperor of Dali is coated with a layer of mysterious golden light, and the imperial power is granted by heaven..." Gu Yiwu frowned for a moment, "Well, these Li Di people seem to respect the ancestors of Li Di very much, the ancient Li clan."
"The auspiciousness can also be interpreted from this aspect, preaching that the ancestors who left the earth protect the young emperor. We don't need to teach you about such things. The Empress Dowager Dugu will definitely be very skilled at it by then."
Gu Yiwu spoke for a moment.
"Confucian ethics, imperial power, and the people's hearts, holding these three important weapons and using them rationally, they, the orphan and widowed mother, are completely safe, and have completely become the helmsmen of this great dynasty in Wangque Continent."
He grinned.
"Tzuyu, we came to Dali this time to take the Zen Ceremony as the assessment, so naturally we are on the side of the Dugu clan. We will try our best to get high scores in the assessment, and the Dugu clan and the little emperor will get the sanctity of imperial power.
Amulet, join forces together and each get what they need."
"Haha, it's also a friendship. In the future, if you have nothing to do, you can go down the mountain and take a look around Dali."
Zhao Rong remained silent.
No shaking of the head or nodding of the head.
When the burly Confucian scholar saw this, his smile faded.
He scratched his head habitually and asked in a cautious tone:
"By the way, Tzuyu, how did I say it? Is there anything I missed?"
Zhao Rong glanced at him.
Suddenly he whispered: "Two warriors."
There was a pause.
"Not to be underestimated."
"Those two warriors? Li Mingyi and Zhou Dufu? Are you... worried that they will disrupt the Fengchan ceremony?"
Gu Yiwu frowned and muttered, "Well, of course we have to guard against them. The personal strength of a high-quality martial artist who is comparable to the Golden Core Realm cannot be underestimated."
"However, the Dugu family is not a simple woman. I must know this and be prepared. In such a large dynasty, there must be monks who can compete with these two warriors..."
He muttered something and shook his head.
"These are actually things that the Dugu family has to consider. Dali is her territory, and what is deeply concerned about them is the safety of their mother and son."
"The Dugu family has invited us here, so she must have the confidence and confidence to allow us to hold the ceremony of enshrining Zen with peace of mind. Alas, even if not, we are actually her life-saving straw. We are here on behalf of Linlu Academy, who dares
Are you openly making trouble to provoke us?"
Gu Yiwu curled his lips and spoke in a high tone.
The surrounding students of Zhengyi Hall nodded one after another, or looked at each other and chuckled, or caressed the pure white jade on their waists, or looked down at the scene downstairs indifferently.
In fact, along the way, Zhao Rong was in a hurry before he made a decision. Although he was in a hurry, most of the students were still in a state of relaxation while going down the mountain.
This includes the mentality of fully trusting Zhao Rong and Gu Yiwu's arrangements and just obeying orders.
There are also some other mentalities.
In front of the observation deck, Zhao Rong frowned slightly as he didn't know what he thought of.
The back of Zhao Qian'er's flawless white jade hand touched the teacup in Zhao Rong's hand.
She raised her hand and poured another cup of hot tea for Brother Rong'er seriously. Then she glanced at her, turned her head and frowned, and said crisply:
"Don't make any noise, we are talking about something."
Seeing the look of dissatisfaction on Fairy Zhao's pretty face, the students of Zhengyi Hall shut up one after another and sat upright. They were even more upright than Gu Yiwu, who had vowed to inquire about the situation in Dali and then ran away to buy a divorced daughter.
.
The room suddenly became quiet again.
After a while, a student broke the silence and smiled at the quiet Zhao Rong with a slightly helpless tone.
"Mr. Zhao is still too cautious. Well, just like teaching us how to write, he thinks too much... This is of course a good thing, but some things outside of books don't need to be so troublesome."
"As Brother Gu said, who dares to mess with us regarding Feng Chan? Not to mention the distance, this Dali is right next to Duyou City, under the nose of our Linlu Academy, among these people from Dali Mountain, we can sneak in
There should be no fools in high positions, right? Besides, even if we encounter a troublemaker who is short-sighted, there is no need for us to take action, Meng Xuezheng will solve it as soon as possible."
The student smiled and said, "Sir, although we have some conflicts with Meng Xuezheng, this is all a matter within the academy. After leaving the academy, if outsiders bully and provoke us Mochi students, it will be a slap in the face of Linlu Academy. Meng Xuezheng is the first to do so."
One went crazy."
Gu Yiwu nodded, raised his hand and pressed it.
"That's right. Ziyu, besides, the current conflict between these two warriors seems to be even greater. They are confronting each other in Nanxing County. It should be the Dugu clan's plan to drive away the wolves and swallow the tigers one by one."
He smiled and said: "With this smart woman as our ally, we don't have to worry about many things, which saves us a lot of trouble."
Zhao Rong came back from his thoughts and nodded.
He was not as optimistic as Gu Yiwu and others.
When I came to Duyou City from my hometown in Dachu, I experienced many things on the way.
The debate between Confucianism and Taoism in Zhongnan Kingdom, and the death of the three-change brother in the Wei Dynasty...
Zhao Rong was very alert to the battles between the forces and monks within the dynasty under the mountain...
Just when the atmosphere in the box was relaxed.
Zhao Qian'er suddenly turned around and said calmly: "What if the ceremony of enshrining Zen fails."
The atmosphere in the box suddenly fell silent.
Not long after.
Gu Yiwu thought for a while and wanted to speak, but Zhao Rong had already turned around and said with a smile: "Little girl, we will definitely get high scores. Don't worry."
He turned around and said, "Yiwu, have you played with everything in Zuixian Tower these days?"
Gu Yiwu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yeah, almost the same, but there seems to be something lively down there now, and you happened to be coming, so we didn't go join in the fun."
Zhao Rong shook his head and said seriously: "How can this work? We agreed to come to Zuixian Tower to have fun. We all have to experience it. Let's go, it's so lively down there, let's go and take a look."
He smiled and patted his sleeves.
Everyone looked at each other.
…
Yueniang went upstairs again, walked slowly to the box number Xuan, raised her hand and was about to knock on the door.
Suddenly, the door opened and Zhao Rong and his party came out.
They said they wanted to play downstairs.
Yueniang responded with a smile and watched Zhao Rong and others go downstairs.
Wait for Zhao Rong and others to disappear at the top of the stairs.
Yueniang stood quietly at the door of the Xuanzi box for a while.
Suddenly, she turned around and stepped forward. When she passed the ground-numbered box, she glanced at the room.
Yueniang came to the door of Tianzihao private room a few steps away and knocked lightly on the door.
She stood respectfully and had a serious expression.
Not long after, the door was opened by a cold-looking woman in white.
Behind the woman in white, there was a group of very strange people, standing around the booths...
There was silence in Tianzihao box, as if they had been waiting for a long time.
