"When I look back at my past life and repent, I realize that there is no wiser person than the Holy Prince. However, it was unvirtuous to let him go, and the country lost its virtuous prince."
"Begging sin from Heaven, cut open the liver and gallbladder!"
Xu Fang, who was in front of Qingshi Palace, had no idea how quickly this matter was spreading.
When he finished speaking the last eight words, he changed from a prostrate posture to a kneeling posture.
Then he took out a dagger, and with tears streaming down his face, he cut his body and cut open his heart, liver, and gallbladder!
He dissected his liver and gallbladder to find out his heart.
…
The maple clouds, a scenic sight that only comes once a year, are in full bloom late in the evening.
The people sitting in Xiashan Villa are all prominent figures in Linzi.
Among them, Qing Xi, the leader of the Four Seas Merchant Alliance, and Li Zhengshu, the great scholar of the Shimen Li family, were particularly sharp.
The scenery is picturesque and the banquet is joyful.
But as servants from various families kept coming in and whispering, the atmosphere gradually changed.
Li Zhengshu, who was extremely skilled in nourishing qi, suddenly lost consciousness for a moment.
Qing Xi's cloudy old eyes suddenly shone brightly, making it so bright that people couldn't look into them.
As the highest-status people in the room, their gaffe was immediately noticed by everyone.
Only Chong Xuan Sheng himself continued to talk and laugh as usual.
Xu put it outside Qingshi Palace to plead guilty.
Many people don't understand the significance of this.
In the twenty-eighth year of Yuanfeng, that is, the year 3892 of the Dao calendar.
Xu Da was scolding Jiang Wuliang, the then crown prince of Qi State, and the most sinister sentence was this: "It is so important to live in a country, but one's shoulders cannot carry a feather. To be in the most important position in the world, one's heart cannot bear a single thing. I am sincere and sincere."
Buddha, why don’t you green the lamp in this life?”
Jiang Wuliang was close to the Buddhist family and Xiangdu Buddhism. This was also something that Emperor Qi did not like.
Xu Fang's scolding was regarded as a rising tide, setting off a mighty crusade against Jiang Wuliang from both the government and the public.
After the scolding, memorials of condemnation rained down from all over the country.
Jiang Wuliang only lasted for one year, and was deposed in the 29th year of Yuanfeng.
However, today Xu Fang said that what he scolded that day was all nonsense, "distorted and shameless words, slandering the dignity of a benevolent person".
He spits on himself and says that he is spouting shit.
When his whole family died, he only said, "Thunder punishes evildoers, and tortures evil intestines." He regarded it as his own karma, and he deserved what he deserved.
What is he going to do?
At least it's obvious at first glance.
He wanted to use his body and life to rectify the name of the deposed prince!
However, is this name so easy to correct?
What was the background of Jiang Wuliang's brutal deposition?
Five years before he was deposed, there was a major event in the Eastern Region that affected the world.
That is, the twenty-fourth year of Yuanfeng in the Qi Dynasty and the year 3888 in the Dao calendar. In this year, a great war took place between Qi and Xia to determine the dominance of the Eastern Region.
The final winner of this war was the Qi State, and the Xia State was pushed back to the southern region. For the next thirty years, it never looked northeast again.
Chu Liang, Chongxuan, was also famous for his battle here and achieved the power of ferocious slaughter.
However, before this war began, Jiang Wuliang was the most determined advocate of peace. He presided over the negotiations with the Xia State, and the two sides divided the Eastern Territory equally. His political ideas were based on the internal instability of the Qi State at that time.
, advocates recuperating and recuperating, and attacking with virtue first. Of course, there is no need to say this again.
Today's Emperor Qi is a monarch who compares himself to Emperor Wu of Qi. He is determined to fight and no one can save him. Prince Jiang Wuliang took the lead in dissuading him, so he directly banned Jiang Wuliang and stopped him from speaking out. This incident also announced the peace at that time.
A total failure of the party.
Then in the battle between Qi and Xia, Qi won a complete victory and established its power as the hegemon in the Eastern Region.
Emperor Qi proved his prowess, and accordingly, Prince Jiang Wuliang proved his cowardice and incompetence.
After the war, Jiang Wuliang struggled to be the crown prince for five years, until the madman Xu Fang scolded him, and people from all over the country attacked him. After that, the East Palace was deposed.
…
Xu Fang said that he was wrong in scolding him and that he was deceived. This is equivalent to saying that Jiang Wuliang was right back then. Jiang Wuliang was destroyed by conspiracy and political disputes, not because he had no talent or morality.
So, who is at fault?
And how big of an impact does this have?
It's big when you say it's big, it's small when you say it's small.
It is said to be small because a mere Xu Fang cannot change Jiang Wuliang's situation at all. It poses no threat to Jiang Wuhua's crown prince position and has almost no impact on the political situation of Qi State, even though Xu Fang's gesture is so tragic.
It is said to be big because it indicates that there may be a force trying to make a comeback for Jiang Wuliang. Clearing up the old reputation is probably just the first step in testing.
And Xu Fang, who has disappeared for many years, is the chess piece that tests the reactions of all parties.
On a more serious note, this would most likely offend Emperor Qi.
In the twenty-ninth year of Yuanfeng, Jiang Wuliang was deposed. At the same time, the Buddhist Kurong Temple in the Eastern Region, which was once second only to the Xuankong Temple, was razed by Emperor Qi's order.
In the thirty-fifth year of Yuanfeng, Jiang Wuliang secretly complained against his father. Emperor Qi killed seventeen ministers who interceded for Jiang Wuliang in one go, and imprisoned Jiang Wuliang in the Bluestone Palace, letting him die of old age.
.
Almost everyone knows that Emperor Qi was disappointed and disgusted with his eldest son.
So where does this force that is trying to make a comeback for Jiang Wuliang come from?
If we dig up Xu Fang carefully, we will naturally find out what happened to his family when they were forced to death eighteen years ago.
Old rivals of Jubao Chamber of Commerce such as Qingxi naturally know very well how Jubao Chamber of Commerce forced Xu Fang's family to death.
In fact, Xu Fang became disgusted with the Jubao Chamber of Commerce because of the evidence he found.
Qing Xi knew one detail in particular. The Jubao Chamber of Commerce back then had some dealings with Jiang Wuliang. With extremely keen eyesight, Su She completed the cutting in time before Jiang Wuliang's collapse, thus avoiding subsequent cleaning.
Jubao Chamber of Commerce will take revenge and force Xu Fang's family to death. This matter can be big or small.
How small can this thing be?
The entire Xu family died. Xu Fang, who was once famous in Linzi, had his Taoist heart broken and his cultivation completely ruined. He lived on the streets, and his life was worse than death for eighteen years... No one cared about him!
And how big can this thing get?
Xu Fang, who was the vanguard of the attack on Jiang Wuliang, was brutally retaliated against after Jiang Wuliang was imprisoned in the Bluestone Palace for a year. Is there any connection between this?
In particular, Xu Fang disappeared for many years, and whenever he appeared, he had his liver and gallbladder cut open to prove his true intentions.
If you connect all of this, it is easy to feel that there is an invisible hand, forcing Xu Fang to lower his head, forcing Xu Fang to change his stance with extremely cruel means.
No matter who is the owner behind this hand, is it Jiang Wuliang himself or those who want to trample Jiang Wuliang to death.
But the hand itself can undoubtedly be equated to the Jubao Chamber of Commerce.
Regardless of whether the existence behind it can be found out or not, it will be difficult to keep this hand.
It can be said that the Jubao Chamber of Commerce at this time has been pushed to the edge of the cliff!
Does this matter have anything to do with Chong Xuan Sheng?
Others may not be able to see it, and there is no evidence at all. But for Li Zhengshu, who saw Chongxuansheng's prelude to the battle with his own eyes, and for Qingxi, who had a deep understanding of and paid close attention to Chongxuansheng since the tragic defeat in Yangdi, they naturally felt that
Have your own judgment.
This Zhongxuan Sheng, he not only wants to show off the Jubao Chamber of Commerce, but also wants to crush the entire Jubao Chamber of Commerce with one slap!
That’s why people like Li Zhengshu and Qing Xi are so moved!
And everyone who appeared in Xiashan Villa today was testifying for Chongxuan Sheng, proving that he was not involved in the incident.
Thinking of this, and looking at Zhong Xuan Mingguang's beaming face on the main seat, I felt very pitiful.
…
"Master Sheng!"
However, everyone saw the dignified leader of the Four Seas Merchant Alliance standing up tremblingly, raising his wine glass, and toasting Zhongxuan Sheng!
Only then did Zhongxuan Mingguang, whose face had been glowing red, realize something was wrong.
I only heard Qing Xi say in front of everyone: "I have not been strict in controlling my subordinates, and many of the people below have been offended in the Yang Domain. Fortunately, Master Sheng has disciplined me, and I have been able to rein in the situation. Master Sheng ignored the past grudges and invited me to see the scenery. I am filled with emotions! I hope you still have hope.
Let’s work together more in the future!”
After saying that, he drank it all first.
Chong Xuansheng hurriedly stood up and said repeatedly: "Mr. Qing has a lot of people, and the younger generation can't thank you enough!"
After saying that, he drank three cups in a row, and then said: "As for cooperation... it's easy to talk about!"
On the main seat, Zhongxuan Mingguang's heart became more and more tense. What he saw before his eyes was still the beautiful scenery of maple clouds and dusk.
Look at the mountains, clouds, and sky, all red, and suddenly I feel like they are stained with blood!
