The guards of the East Palace took out their swords from their scabbards, and their figures intertwined, instantly protecting the prince Li Shi in the middle, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Yuan Zai knew that these East Palace guards were all equal to ten masters. If he had not already been a highly respected minister, he would have been arrested long ago and even killed on the spot if he had collided with His Highness the Crown Prince like this.
Yuan Zai knew the prince's temperament better, and would never make a heavy move easily. So instead of retreating, he took the horizontal sword from the hand of the East Palace guard, put it on his shoulder and fought, saying with tears in his eyes: "Your Highness! This 'like water sword'
Therefore, it is famous all over the world because it is both a sword of prosperity and an unknown and dangerous weapon!
If the emperor is virtuous and the barbarian guests are obedient, if they get this sword again, they will be blessed with luck and be praised by all the people; but if the prince, a vassal town, an aristocratic family, a foreign country, a hero, etc. get it, they will be like a tiger with wings and respond to hundreds of calls.
Incurring criticism and jealousy, even if you are upright and upright, you can't bear to use the public's words to make money, and you will destroy your bones!
Therefore, although the 'Rushui Sword' is rare in the world, it is also a matter that cannot be easily messed with! As the saying goes, 'A son with a lot of money cannot sit down in the hall.' His Highness the Crown Prince has been honored as the crown prince, so why must he take something right or wrong?
Leave an excuse for those who are ready to take action? Have you forgotten the injustice done to King Yong in the past?"
"presumptuous!"
Prince Li Shi was furious and said, "Yuan Zai, how can I allow you to gossip about my Li family's affairs here!"
However, Yuan Zai stretched his neck and forced himself to speak with some courage:
"Although the emperor is called a saint, how can he carry out hundreds of strategies without making any mistakes? The old ministers from far away did not express their opinions and only talked about the affairs of Yong Wang Li Lin. If the saints today did not know his grievances, how could he go out of his way to vindicate his grievances?
If the age sequence could be traced back twenty years, no one in the world would know that the Yongwang Li Lin was personally raised by the ancestor Su Zong. Although they were brothers, they felt the same love as father and son. If the world situation was not forcing him, how could Su Zong bear to kill him?
To be fair, His Royal Highness King Yong was granted the title of Kaifu, led four military envoys, held Jiangling in the east, and sat on the fertile and prosperous land east of the Yangtze River. He also had a close brotherly relationship with Suzong, so even if he was given a hundred excuses, there was no way he could do it.
The meaning of rebellion.
The reason why King Yong finally aroused suspicion and was forced to fight against the officers and soldiers was because he trusted his advisers and did not listen to the orders, but relied on his own troops. In addition, there were villains who instigated and provoked him, and he eventually made mistakes.
Eternal disaster!
Today, the old minister was very happy to see His Highness see the hunter. He actually wanted to use the dignity of the Prince and threatened the ministers to hand over the "Rushui Sword". He even thought of the Yong Wang who was arrogant and arrogant based on his favor. In order to prevent His Highness from making the same mistake again.
, the old minister will not hesitate to die to remonstrate!"
After hearing this, Prince Li Shi felt his heart pounding. Although his anger did not change, he began to feel weak in his heart. He believed most of the truths that Yuan Zai cleverly stated. He couldn't help but blurt out a strong argument:
"I am fond of swords, and my father has always known it! How can you doubt me because of a piece of ordinary iron? However, I never act arbitrarily. Since Yuan Xiang feels that I should not take this sword by force, according to your wishes, I should
How to deal with it?”
Yuan Zai saw that the prince's eyes were showing timidity, and he felt a little more sure in his heart. He still said with a loyal and straight face: "In my humble opinion, this sword should be brought to the saint's jade steps by me personally without stopping at night. Just like Chang Yuan.
What the real person said will not only block the mouths of all the people in the world, but also extinguish the hearts of all parties who are ready to move..."
Brother Shu Yao, Li Changyuan knew that his eloquent talk was actually to ask His Highness the Crown Prince to throw a trap so that he could monopolize this unparalleled feat.
By then, the saints will be more and more favored by him, and no one inside or outside the court can threaten him. He can even intervene in royal matters such as selecting concubines, deposing and establishing princes, and make some arrangements for the long-term benefit of the Yuan Dynasty.
The clan can also join the ranks of aristocratic families like the "Five Surnames and Seven Sects", and can have descendants who will last for generations, practice together with the country, and enjoy glory in the world.
What a great Yuan Zai, he has a good abacus!
Just when Li Changyuan was about to refute, he heard that Tian Chengsi, the king of Yanmen County, finally couldn't hold it in anymore and jumped up: "The words of Prime Minister Yuan are false for public benefit and for personal gain! In today's battle, our guards in Weibo Town were seriously injured, so this 'Rushui Sword' should be taken for granted."
I, the guard of Weibo Town, will protect you all the way, and go west to Chang'an to present the saint. It's not Tian who is greedy for merit! The family members of the guard who died in the accident must be compensated and commended by the imperial court, so that they will be grateful for the saint's kindness..."
"Fuck your mother!"
Ge Shuyao couldn't help it immediately, and uttered a curse word, interrupting Tian Chengsi's reasoning: "Old dog Tian! If you Wei Bozhen has any casualties, please ask the court for compensation, and the generals who are killed or wounded under my command will be
Don’t you need silver reward and pension?
Furthermore, without the permission of the sage, you privately invited feudal soldiers to come to the capital to cause trouble, which is an act of treason and rebellion. At this moment, you do not want to repent and redeem yourself, but you are confusing right and wrong, and trying to gain some benefits from the imperial court. It is simply shameless.
!”
Tian Chengsi was so angry after listening to his rapid-fire curses that he immediately drew out his sword, pointed forward and said: "Brother Shu Pifu! You are going too far to accuse me! Come on! Who took this brother Shu with me?"
If a common man has his head on his head, Tian will adopt him as his adopted son! He will treat him as his own son!!"
As soon as the words were said, "Heshuo Twenty-eight Sus" and some of the generals of Tianxiongwei's eyes were already red. They all raised their weapons and swarmed forward. They really came to take Brother Shu Yao's life.
The four guardsmen under Ge Shuyao were not cowards. They saw the quarrel between their commander and Na Tian Chengsi leading to a fatal disaster. How could they sit back and watch? They also unanimously turned around to block the swarming vassal soldiers and minions.
Halfway through, a fierce fight broke out again.
"Your Highness is here! Who dares to be so presumptuous? Don't stop yet!"
Li Changyuan was furious when he saw that the fight that had just subsided was resurrected. He was also worried that someone would take advantage of the chaos to harm His Highness, so he immediately looked at the group behind him and said, "Seniors, please protect Your Highness! Other colleagues, please enter the battle with swords.
, if anyone gets into a fight privately, they will be killed directly!"
Yuan Zai also didn't expect that a few people who were very respectful to him just now would no longer take him seriously. They would not refute him verbally, but would actually get into a fight in front of His Royal Highness because of a disagreement.
!The demeanor of the county king was destroyed in one moment...
Seeing that the Taoist sect had intervened to dissuade Yuan Zai, he refused to lag behind. He hurriedly looked at Abbot Lingche and other monks and nuns and said, "Please take action, Zen masters, and don't let the war start again. The princes and princes fought with each other in anger.
How indecent?!”
After the two of them talked, the Taoist priests and a group of monks and nuns entered in formation. In less than ten seconds, they formed a thick "human wall".
The soldiers of the Yaoxing camp separated, and the two sides were so anxious that people from both sides jumped and yelled at each other, but they could not break through the "human wall". For a while, obscene words and shouting were heard on the bank of the canal, and it was like a busy city.
The noise makes people have headaches.
Prince Li Shi leaned on the horse and looked at it. His face quickly turned gloomy. He hurriedly summoned Li Changyuan to the horse and asked about the solution.
Li Changyuan and Gongsun Xuan planned for several days before laying out such an overall situation. It is not an exaggeration to say that they spent all their energy and painstaking efforts. Fortunately, from the appearance of the "Rushui Sword Monument" to the evolution of various chaos to the present, they have generally not exceeded the two of them.
It was expected. But there are many lives left here, which is really unbearable.
At this time, the canal bank was once again crowded, and he was summoned by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Li Changyuan knew that the heat was coming. He immediately dragged the frightened Henan Yin Xiaojing aside and saluted the Crown Prince Li Shi together: "I am guilty!"
Prince Li Shi was puzzled and waved his hand and said: "Zhen Changyuan is both a teacher and a friend in this palace. I have worked hard to find this sword this time! Mr. Xiao cares about the people and is mature and prudent. Recently, there have been several major cases in Luoyang City, and they have all been handled properly."
Post. What are you two guilty of? Let’s talk about today’s incident and how it will end!”
Li Changyuan and Xiao Jing looked at each other, then took the lead and said: "Yuan Zai has been in the inner dynasty for a long time, Tian Chengsi has been in charge of a town, Ge Shuyao only listens to the orders of the saint, Taoist sects, and Shi sects are all followers. The above five are
,
If you are not the official in charge of Luoyang, how can you decide the affairs of Luoyang? Therefore, if you want to reconcile the various parties, make sure that the 'Rushui Sword' is properly assigned and no longer causes trouble. Such an important task belongs to Mr. Xiao!"
When Prince Li Shi heard this, he raised his eyebrows, quite convinced. Then he looked at Xiao Jing with burning eyes and said: "I have been so anxious for a long time, but I have neglected Mr. Xiao! I don't know what you have to say?"
After hearing this, Xiao Jing cupped her hands and smiled. The worry on her face was instantly wiped away. She looked at Prince Li Shi and said, "The reason why this sword has been heard all over the world is that people who do bad things will stir up trouble and do it with intent! Therefore, a few days ago, I
The Henan Prefecture has already released the news and fully supports Shimen in organizing a "Shendu Martial Arts Conference" so that the case of the group of heroes looking for the "Rushui Sword" can be properly settled.
At that time, the Tongyuan Canal dredging site was infiltrated by Jianghu Rangers, and "civil riots" would break out from time to time, disturbing the peace in the city. Later, Taiwei Palace was at odds with Zoroastrianism, causing several troubles, which led to the death of those Jianghu Rangers.
, an injury is unlikely to become a problem in a short period of time. Therefore, the idea of a 'Shendu Martial Arts Conference' seems a bit 'tasteless'.
Although today's matter is difficult, its nature is not much different from that of the Jianghu Rangers who were arguing. Therefore, after a long secret talk between Xianguan and Changyuan Master, they decided to bring up the old matter again and put this 'Shendu Martial Arts Conference' on the agenda again.
Come, please invite all the parties who are fiercely fighting for the 'Rushui Sword' today to have their best players compete in the arena.
As for the rare magic weapon 'Rushui Sword', the winner should get it! It would be best if the loser is convinced. Even if all parties are defeated, they still refuse to give up and seek trouble for the person who got the sword.
What does it have to do with the imperial court?"
After hearing this, Prince Li Shi couldn't help but clapped his hands and said, "This is a wonderful method! It's all about the rivers and lakes! It stops these people from blatantly bullying the weak and taking advantage of them. They have to fight according to the rules of the rivers and lakes."
In my father’s ears, it will only be treated as an interesting anecdote! Haha!”
Seeing that the prince agreed with this method, Xiao Jing finally relaxed his worries and struck while the iron was hot: "If His Highness is really addicted to swords, when the dust of the 'Shendu Martial Arts Conference' is settled, then the 'Sword Like Water' will also be available
As for the ownership, you might as well recruit the person who got the sword into Zhan Shifu and hand it over to the East Palace Guards to control. By then, not only will the 'Rushui Sword' belong to the prince, but the top knight can also be used by the court. Wouldn't it be wonderful!
"
When Prince Li Shi heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "Master Xiao not only loves the people like a son, he is also very scheming! If the people my father puts in his favor are as talented and virtuous as you, why worry about the troubles of elbows and armpits?"
Li Changyuan then stepped forward with a smile: "If all parties want to surrender and bow their heads, His Highness will have to make a clear statement about the 'Shendu Martial Arts Conference' so that Mr. Xiao can act according to his orders."
Only then did the prince suddenly realize, he couldn't help but smile and stretched out his finger, pointed at Li Changyuan and said: "What a good Li Changyuan! You actually sang along with Mr. Xiao and 'schemed' me to come in! Hahaha! Forget it! That's it.
, I will take full responsibility for today’s ‘Rushui Sword’ matter!”
