Chapter 220 The whereabouts of the Demon Suppressing Stone, the treasure left by Emperor Wu, arrives at Zhu Sheng
former residence
Inside the Imperial Palace of the Wei Dynasty.
Li Guangxiao is giving a long speech.
"Your Majesty, there are two main types of relationships between men and women. One is love at first sight, and the other is staying together for a long time."
"Xu Shouren, Saint Xu, must have fallen in love with you at first sight. After all, your majesty is unparalleled. It is normal for Xu Shouren to fall in love with your majesty."
"Your Majesty is so busy with state affairs that you don't have any time to care about these things. It is precisely because of this that your Majesty has some scruples about emotional matters."
"To be fair, Your Majesty, do you really have no good impression of Xu Sheng?"
Li Guangxiao said seriously.
He is the empress's teacher, and he can be regarded as half of his father. A teacher is a father, so in the entire court, he is the most concerned about the empress's marriage.
You are already twenty-four years old. If you don’t get married, do you think you will end up alone?
If Ji Ling is not the emperor, it doesn't matter, but the problem is that Ji Ling is the empress of the Wei Dynasty. At the age of twenty-four, she has to consider the issue of heirs.
Once a prince is born, the Wei Dynasty will be more stable and the officials can breathe a sigh of relief.
Especially now that Xu Qingxiao has finally emerged. He must have good looks, talent, ability, and ability, and his prestige among the people is not weaker than that of this emperor.
The most rare thing is that Xu Qingxiao likes the empress. If there is a marriage, people all over the world will applaud.
For Da Wei, there are only advantages and no disadvantages.
"Teacher, I am discussing state affairs, why are you talking about this again?"
The empress spoke in a calm tone.
"His Majesty."
"Why are you doing this? Half of my body has been buried in the earth. Are you still afraid of what I will say to you?"
"Okay, since we are talking about state affairs, the old minister said that if your Majesty wants the Wei Dynasty to be stable, you must consider marriage matters."
When Li Guangxiao spoke, he said it in another way.
As soon as he said this, the empress immediately responded.
"If we are discussing state affairs, then I do have a good impression of Xu Aiqing."
Ji Ling couldn't talk about private matters.
When it comes to state affairs, Ji Ling can answer.
This is her character.
Hearing this, Li Guangxiao felt inexplicably at a loss what to say, but thinking about it, after all, no matter how powerful the empress was, she was only twenty-four years old. No matter how powerful her political skills were, the problem was that she knew nothing about the relationship between men and women.
.
It is normal to have some good face. The Empress of Wei wanted to save face and not be embarrassed.
"In that case, for the sake of national affairs, I beg your majesty to marry Xu Sheng to bring another happy event to our great Wei Dynasty."
Li Guangxiao said excitedly.
But the empress simply shook her head.
"No."
"How can such a big thing be trivial?"
The empress' attitude was very firm. It wasn't that she didn't like Xu Qingxiao, but that she was not prepared.
As soon as he said this, Li Guangxiao was stunned, but he didn't say much, but looked at the empress and said.
"In that case, Your Majesty, this matter can be postponed for a while, which can be regarded as allowing Your Majesty and Xu Sheng to communicate well and get along for a while. However, I have a few things to inform Your Majesty."
"If what I said is wrong, I hope your Majesty will forgive me."
After Li Guangxiao said this, he didn't give the empress a chance and spoke directly.
"First, I hope your Majesty will stop acting like this. Shouren has now become a half-sage of the Wei Dynasty. Although I like your Majesty, if your Majesty is still so arrogant, no man can accept it. Your Majesty must know how to give Xu Sheng the right time.
A little step up.”
"Secondly, we need to get along with each other a lot, and give something to him every now and then. It's not to ask His Majesty to please Xu Sheng, but to give him the honor of the new saint. If Xu Sheng understands, he will understand. If Xu Sheng doesn't understand,
That’s okay, at least we can get closer.”
"Thirdly, Your Majesty should not deal with government affairs all day long. Now the external chaos of the Wei Dynasty has been calmed down. Although the barbarians are strong, the Dragon Cauldron of the Wei Dynasty has been cast. It is only a matter of time before the barbarians are crushed. There is no need to worry about the internal vassal kings.
Now the feudal lord doesn’t have the guts to act recklessly.”
"The internal affairs of the country, under the coordination of the six ministries, will definitely make your majesty feel at ease. Therefore, your majesty should not use this as an excuse to avoid this matter. I hope your majesty will think twice."
Li Guangxiao put forward three conditions for the empress' attention.
As soon as she said this, the empress wanted to refute, but after seeing the firm look on Li Guangxiao's face, she finally sighed.
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
"However, government affairs still need to be dealt with. The Wei Dynasty is not as safe as imagined. I still have to be on guard at all times."
The empress replied that she could accept it, but she still couldn't let go of the government.
Li Guangxiao didn't care about this, as long as the empress accepted it, it would be possible if there was a chance.
"In that case, I will retire first."
Li Guangxiao did not continue talking, but left first, fearing that the empress would regret it later.
The empress did not speak, but watched Li Guangxiao leave.
After Li Guangxiao left, the empress was left alone in the hall, sitting quietly alone.
To be honest, the empress was completely unprepared for this matter. She had never thought about it at all.
Although she knew Xu Qingxiao liked her very early on.
But, I still thought that Xu Qingxiao was just a whim, but now it seems that Xu Qingxiao is really very affectionate towards her.
But the problem is that she is the empress of the Wei Dynasty, so she has not thought about marriage.
But what Li Guangxiao said today made him feel mixed emotions.
What if she was too cold-blooded and Xu Qingxiao really found another woman? Didn't she go to some Taohua Temple before?
At this moment, the empress had only one question in her mind.
That is, what is your attitude towards Xu Qingxiao?
It would be a lie to say that I don’t have a good impression.
After all, Xu Qingxiao has an extraordinary appearance, is so young, and is now the new sage of the Wei Dynasty.
There is absolutely no problem with this status.
It's just that the empress doesn't like it too fast.
She wants to take her time and build a relationship slowly while she has a good impression.
Thinking of this, the empress finally sighed.
Give it a try, you don’t have to force it so much. If it’s really suitable, forget it. If it’s really not suitable, forget it.
About half an hour later, Zhao Waner's voice suddenly sounded from outside the hall.
"Your Majesty, Xu Qingxiao would like to see you."
As Zhao Waner's voice sounded, Ji Ling's heart, which had just calmed down, became turbulent again.
Xu Qingxiao wants to see you?
Is it possible to come directly to propose marriage?
There was a rare trace of panic in the empress's eyes, but she quickly suppressed it and replaced it with calmness.
"Announce that Aiqing will enter the palace."
The empress said, "No matter what, let's announce Qingxiao's entrance first."
As the empress spoke, Xu Qingxiao's figure slowly walked in from outside the palace.
Step into the Hall of Nourishing Heart.
Xu Qingxiao spoke directly to the empress.
"I wish you Qingxiao to pay homage to Your Majesty."
Xu Qingxiao saluted and said this.
"My dear, please don't be polite. I said before that you don't need to salute when you see me."
The empress spoke out, looking at Xu Qingxiao, her voice was calm, but inexplicably nervous.
"Your Majesty, I have two reasons for coming here this time."
Xu Qingxiao spoke up.
Without waiting for the empress to say anything, Xu Qingxiao spoke directly.
"May I ask, Your Majesty, do you know about the Demon Suppressing Stone, Dragon Blood Yang Jade, and the Eight Treasure Buddha Lotus?"
Xu Qingxiao asked.
He has read all the books in the Sutra Pavilion and found nothing about the Demon Suppressing God Stone, Dragon Blood Yang Jade, or the Eight Treasures Buddha Lotus.
Can't find it at all.
Now that he has become a saint, Xu Qingxiao can read all the books in less than a quarter of an hour. This is the power of the holy way.
"Demon-suppressing stone? Dragon-blood Yang jade? Eight-treasure Buddha lotus?"
The empress was a little curious.
She pondered for a moment, and after a while, the empress quickly thought of it.
"I don't know much about the Dragon Blood Yang Jade and the Eight Treasures Buddha Lotus, but I do know the Demon Suppressing Stone. This object is a treasure in the palace. I saw it when I was young and it was in the hands of my father."
The empress answered and looked at Xu Qingxiao with some curiosity.
"Why is Xu Aiqing asking about this thing?"
She didn't understand and was very curious.
"Your Majesty, I need this thing. Is the Demon-Suppressing Stone ever in the palace?"
Hearing this, Xu Qingxiao felt a little happy and asked the empress directly.
"Not here."
The empress shook her head and said: "This object is definitely no longer in the palace. My father has hidden it."
She said this with a very firm tone.
But this determination made Xu Qingxiao a little silent.
"Hidden?"
"Where to hide?"
"Has it become a burial object?"
Xu Qingxiao was a little confused. What was this thing hiding for? She was also curious whether it had become a burial object.
Hearing Xu Qingxiao's question, the empress was silent for a moment, but after a while, the empress continued.
"My dear, is this important to you?"
The empress did not answer, but asked Xu Qingxiao.
"Your Majesty, this thing is extremely important to me, and it is of great significance."
Xu Qingxiao didn't know how to answer, but he didn't want to hide it, because this thing was really important to him. If there was no such thing, the disaster of the magic would always be the knife above his head.
Fall down at any time.
Hearing Xu Qingxiao's resolute expression, the empress sighed and waved her hand.
The palace door closed automatically.
At this moment, the Yangxin Hall became extremely quiet.
Seeing this scene, Xu Qingxiao became a little curious, but he didn't say much and waited for the empress to speak.
"Love you."
"The Demon-Suppressing Stone involves something, a secret of the Wei Dynasty."
"If you know this, it will not be a good thing for you."
"But if you don't tell me, I know you won't be willing to do it."
The empress spoke, her voice was extremely serious and her face was extremely serious.
"Is it about the Demon-Suppressing Stone?"
Xu Qingxiao asked.
"kindness."
The empress nodded slowly, and then Xu Qingxiao spoke directly.
"Please make it clear to your majesty that I am the new sage of the Wei Dynasty and also the prince of the Wei Dynasty. Please rest assured, your majesty, no matter what I hear, I will always be with the Wei Dynasty."
Xu Qingxiao spoke up. What the empress said was obviously a hint, and Xu Qingxiao didn't talk nonsense. He needed the Demon Suppressing Stone and he had to get it no matter what.
After listening to what Xu Qingxiao said, the empress nodded and then spoke.
"The Demon-Suppressing Stone is in the hands of my father, and my father has passed away many years ago. However, the Demon-Suppressing Stone was not buried with it, but was hidden by my father."
"Hidden in Emperor Wu's treasure."
The empress spoke up and revealed this difficult secret.
When Xu Qingxiao heard the words "Emperor Wu's legacy", he was shocked in his heart, but on the outside he looked very calm and showed no expression. Instead, he looked curious.
"The treasure left by Emperor Wu?"
"Why did the late Emperor do this? Is it because he was afraid that the Wei Dynasty would one day be invaded by foreign enemies? So he hid the treasure to give His Majesty a chance to make a comeback?"
Xu Qingxiao asked pretending to be curious.
But the empress remained silent and did not answer the question.
For a moment, Xu Qingxiao also fell silent.
Because what I said was just pretending not to understand.
Let’s start again.
Assuming that this is really possible, how many treasures would have to be hidden to allow the Wei Dynasty to make a comeback?
If there really are so many treasures, why not leave them to the empress? Can't we develop them well? We must keep them alive?
Isn't the thing that Wei lacks the most is silver? It's easy to do things if you have money, but if you hide it and have enough to eat, you have nothing to do?
You said that the previous dynasty was destroyed and the treasures left behind are not bad, but the problem is that the Wei Dynasty did not have such a term as the previous dynasty.
So the possibility I proposed is completely illogical.
"It's not for a comeback, but for a huge secret involving the secrets of Zhongzhou Xianzang."
"However, it is not for me, but for my brother."
The empress opened her mouth and said so.
As soon as he said this, Xu Qingxiao was stunned on the spot.
The Empress’ brother?
Prince?
The orphan of Emperor Wu?
Does this legend really exist?
Xu Qingxiao really didn't expect that this thing was true?
Did Wei really have any orphans?
this.
Xu Qingxiao took a deep breath and told the truth. Before entering the court, Xu Qingxiao also doubted whether there was an orphan of Emperor Wu. Otherwise, why would the Baiyimen do this when they had nothing to eat?
But after entering the court, Xu Qingxiao no longer felt that there was an orphan of Emperor Wu. If there really was an orphan of Emperor Wu, how come there was no news at all among the six tribes, the princes, and the princes?
I am now the king of peace after all, right? Coupled with the identity of the new sage of the Wei Dynasty, and the relationship with the six ministries and military attachés, it is considered to be very good, and it is impossible not to tell myself.
But as the empress said this, Xu Qingxiao had to believe it even if she didn't believe it.
Xu Qingxiao was silent.
The empress continued to speak.
"Xu Aiqing, are you still willing to continue listening?"
The empress asked Xu Qingxiao that this matter involved too much and she did not want to involve Xu Qingxiao.
"Your Majesty, please inform me."
"As a member of the Wei Dynasty, I have responsibilities."
Xu Qingxiao spoke.
As soon as she said this, the empress took a deep breath. Since Xu Qingxiao was willing to bear the responsibility, she had nothing to say.
"I have an older brother, but no one knows about it except a few princes."
"My brother was originally supposed to be the crown prince of the Wei Dynasty, but when my father went on the Northern Expedition, he vaguely noticed an invisible hand behind the Wei Dynasty."
"This person has a grand plan, and it is not as simple as shaking the country. Once his plan succeeds, the entire Central Continent will probably fall, and it is related to the Great Wei Wen Palace."
"It's just that my father didn't know who was behind it, so he stood still."
"In order to lure the snake out of the cave, my father even concealed the birth of the prince. This was also to protect the prince. After all, he was in the Northern Expedition at the time and it was difficult for him to take care of the prince."
"As for me, I am different. I am a woman. No one in the world will attack a woman who has no chance of inheriting the throne, so I survived by luck."
"With the defeat of the Northern Expedition, the situation became more and more serious. In order to protect the prince, my father ordered people to send the prince away and arranged a back-up plan to hide some treasures."
"The Demon-Suppressing Stone was hidden away by my father. As for where it is hidden, I don't know. These things were also told to me by my father in his later years."
The empress spoke, and these words came out of her mouth. She seemed very calm, but Xu Qingxiao could realize how much pressure the empress endured before she ascended the throne.
"The late emperor hid the treasure for the Zhongzhou Immortal Treasure, but sent the prince out. Why is the prince missing now?"
"In the late years of the late emperor's life, the prince has grown up and can be taken back."
Xu Qingxiao asked, although this was a bit treacherous, but he still wanted to ask more clearly.
After all, the current emperor is Ji Ling, not the prince.
"I can't pick him up."
"My father sent someone to send the prince away, and asked a second-grade warrior to escort him, and that second-grade warrior is already dead."
"No one knows where the prince has gone, and my father didn't tell me before he died, because he was also worried that I would kill my brother because of the throne."
"That's how the emperor's family is. There is no emotion to speak of, so this has become a mystery."
The Empress tried her best to speak in a calm tone, but Xu Qingxiao could hear how uncomfortable the Empress felt after learning Emperor Wu's thoughts.
But Xu Qingxiao couldn't comfort him, because if he were Emperor Wu, he wouldn't dare to say it.
After all, the person in front of Ji Ling is the throne of the Wei Dynasty. If he learns about his brother's whereabouts, as a person in power, who will let his brother go?
Let him inherit the throne? Give up the throne yourself?
If they had been playing together since childhood, there would still be a chance of deep feelings, but there was no emotion between the two of them, and the empress had never even laid eyes on her brother.
In this case, Emperor Wu's choice was not wrong, it could only be said to be a little ruthless, but it was definitely what an emperor should do.
"Since no one knows, why does the Baiyi Sect know?"
Xu Qingxiao continued to ask, he keenly discovered this loophole.
As soon as she said this, the empress calmly replied.
"If you don't want others to know, unless you do nothing, it will be useless no matter how well your father hides it. There is no impermeable force in this world. The prince's mother passed away mysteriously after she was reborn as the prince, and her family was also wiped out. But
The news has gotten out."
"Some people already knew about it, so after their father died, they immediately formed the White Clothes Sect to spread the news. However, there was not enough evidence, so the court was able to suppress such rumors."
"But the Baiyi Sect knows that I do have a half-brother, the Crown Prince of Wei."
"It's just that they think that I murdered the prince of Wei and ascended the throne, but they don't know that the reason why I ascended to the throne relied on the support of the vassal king."
The empress replied.
Another piece of news that surprised Xu Qingxiao.
Relying on the support of the feudal lord?
Indeed, the ascension of the female emperor to the throne is a mystery. After all, when Emperor Wu died, everyone in the world believed that Emperor Wu would choose a royal prince to inherit the throne.
After all, it was really unheard of for a woman to ascend the throne, but the empress succeeded in ascending the throne just like that, which was beyond everyone's expectations. The world said that the empress's ascension to the throne must have hidden a shocking secret.
But no one knows exactly what it is.
And Xu Qingxiao was also curious. Why did the vassal kings from all over the world not move when the empress ascended the throne? It was best to move at this time.
The direct rebellion gave the empress no chance to react.
But the vassal kings in various places did not do this. Xu Qingxiao thought about this, and finally felt that the empress must have some means to restrain the vassal kings in various places, and it was probably related to Yipin.
Later, after becoming a disciple of the First Grade, Xu Qingxiao became more certain of this possibility.
After all, I have actually seen how terrifying the first-grade Tianwei is.
But now the empress actually told herself that when she ascended the throne, the vassal king was supporting her behind the scenes?
Is that vassal king so stupid? Does he want to control the empress? This is impossible and unreasonable. Why should he control the empress when he can be the emperor himself?
Aren't you afraid that the empress will betray you?
Xu Qingxiao's mind was running rapidly, and he soon thought of a possibility.
"Your Majesty, Wen Gong is also supporting you behind the scenes, right?"
Xu Qingxiao asked.
"Well, with Wen Gong's shadow, I can inherit. Wen Gong also helped a lot. He thought that randomly selecting a vassal king would cause civil strife. If I inherit it, I can stabilize the country."
"But the main support is from the feudal king, but I don't know which feudal king it is."
"If there is no support from the vassal king, no matter how good Wen Gong says, the Wei Dynasty will inevitably start a rebellion, and the first-level warriors will not intervene. As long as the emperor of the Wei Dynasty is named Ji, then the first-level warriors will not intervene."
"Therefore, the only person who can suppress the vassal kings everywhere is the vassal king, and he is the vassal king who holds military power."
"Now it seems that it is most likely Prince Huaining."
The empress gave the answer, but Xu Qingxiao felt completely complicated.
Prince Huaining?
He is the person who wants to rebel the most, how could he become the vassal king who supports the empress to ascend to the throne?
It can be said that Prince Huaining probably wants to rebel by now, and Xu Qingxiao is also ready to deal with him.
When I listen to it now, it seems too complicated.
What is Prince Huaining doing to help the empress? Supporting the empress to ascend to the throne and wanting to control her? This is obviously unreasonable. What good does this do to him?
Why not rebel directly at the beginning? He controls the Qilin Army, one of the five battalions, and he is of the same generation as Emperor Wu, so he has enough prestige.
To be honest, there are really few people who are more suitable to be the emperor of the Wei Dynasty than him, except Prince Yongping. After all, Prince Yongping was indeed the next emperor of the Wei Dynasty. If the disgrace of Jingcheng had not happened, then Yongping would have been the next emperor of the Wei Dynasty.
The prince can't run away anymore.
So Xu Qingxiao really couldn't believe that the vassal king who supported the empress behind her back would be Prince Huaining. This was too roundabout.
Extremely extremely unreasonable.
In a word, what does Prince Huaining want?
"This is just my guess. Xu Aiqing shouldn't think too much. I don't know whether he is Prince Huaining or not."
"All in all, the late emperor failed in the Northern Expedition, but he also got what he wanted, which involved the Zhongzhou Immortal Treasure."
"This is the basis of everything. It is said that if you open the Central Continent's Immortal Treasure, you can conquer the world."
"And the way to open the Central Continent's Immortal Treasure is hidden in the treasures left by the Crown Prince and Emperor Wu. Over the years, I have had people secretly search for them, but nothing was found."
"The White Clothes Sect, vassal kings from all over the world, and even Wen Gong are also secretly investigating. Everyone wants to get the Zhongzhou Immortal Treasure. What the Wei Dynasty exchanged for the foundation of the country is of great significance."
The empress said seriously.
"The foundation of the country was exchanged?"
"Your Majesty, do you mean that the Northern Expedition in the late Wei Dynasty was not to suppress the barbarians, but to fight for Zhongzhou Xianzang?"
Xu Qingxiao didn't know much about this Central Continent Immortal Treasure, but was just curious about the Northern Expedition.
"nature."
"In the seven Northern Expeditions, the first three were complete victories, killing the barbarians until they were disgraceful. As far as war is concerned, the first three Northern Expeditions have avenged themselves and got what they wanted."
"There was no need to continue the Northern Expedition for the next four times, but the Wei Dynasty still resolutely chose the Northern Expedition. Could it be that Xu Aiqing thought that the late emperor was really bloodthirsty and warlike?"
The empress said so.
These words can be regarded as clearing up a doubt in Xu Qingxiao's mind.
Xu Qingxiao was indeed curious. During the seven Northern Expeditions of the Wei Dynasty, the barbarians were killed in the first three. From a war point of view, they were definitely profitable.
There is no need to completely wipe out the barbarians, because it would be a waste to continue fighting. Killing 70% of the barbarians. In order to completely wipe out the barbarians, launching a new Northern Expedition will not be good for the country or the people.
Even if Emperor Wu was impulsive, how could the officials of the six ministries sit idly by? According to the tradition of the Ministry of Hubu, how could Emperor Wu be allowed to continue fighting?
It's totally unnecessary. You won't make any money if you win, but you will lose blood if you lose.
But Emperor Wu not only fought, but also carried out four Northern Expeditions. If the Wei Dynasty was not really unable to bear it, the eighth and ninth expeditions would have been possible.
It is precisely because the last four Northern Expeditions were originally supposed to be attributed to Emperor Shenwu, but now there are only two characters named Wu Yuan in the history books, which represents the transformation of the Wei Dynasty from economic development back to war development.
Xu Qingxiao was once curious about why Emperor Wu was like this, but now she completely understands.
It turns out that the object of the plot is actually Zhongzhou Xianzang.
Although I don’t know what it is, I can tell from the name that it is definitely not an ordinary thing. The empress just said that those who win the Central Continent Immortal Hidden can win the world.
In comparison, it is normal for Emperor Wu to be so impulsive, but the temptation is too great.
After defeating the barbarians, the Wei Dynasty only became a little stronger. It was still restricted by the Tuxie Dynasty and the Chu Yuan Dynasty, but it obtained the Central Continent Immortal Treasure and directly unified the world.
Skipping the unification of Central Continent and directly unifying the world, who wouldn't be moved by it? Which emperor wouldn't be moved?
Reasonable.
At this moment, Xu Qingxiao roughly understood what happened during the Wu Yuan period.
The disgraceful queen of Jingcheng.
Emperor Wu ascended the throne and fought back domineeringly. He launched three Northern Expeditions, which made the barbarians cry to heaven and earth. However, Emperor Wu also discovered the secret of Zhongzhou Xianzang because of this war.
Therefore, in order to obtain the Immortal Treasure, he did not hesitate to continue to launch wars and four Northern Expeditions. He obtained things, but probably not all of them, in order to let the descendants of the Wei Dynasty obtain the Immortal Treasure.
The prince was sent away and the secret was hidden on the prince, and all the key items were hidden by Emperor Wu, which are the treasures left by Emperor Wu.
Xu Qingxiao can only calculate it in this way, according to the most reasonable method.
As for why it wasn't left to the empress? Xu Qingxiao immediately thought of it. It wasn't that he didn't believe in the empress, or that the emperor was really ruthless, but two things.
First, he didn't know that the empress could successfully ascend the throne.
Emperor Wu's decree at that time was to let the royal family and the Six Ministries decide who would succeed the throne. The royal family chose the empress, the Six Ministries chose the empress, and the Wen Palace also chose the empress.
This was beyond Emperor Wu's expectation.
Second, he did not guarantee whether the empress could stabilize the country.
If everything is really left to the empress, there is a mastermind behind the Wei Dynasty. This mastermind is most likely the mastermind of Wen Gong.
If the other party gets it, making wedding clothes for others is a trivial matter. What's more important is that the Wei Dynasty will also be destroyed, and they will never let the Wei Dynasty go.
Therefore, for the sake of conservatism, sending the crown prince is the best choice, no matter what. In other words, Emperor Wu has already made preparations not to get it himself and not let others get it.
At the very least, the Wei Dynasty is still there, and at least no one in the world will be brutally murdered.
This is the last option and the most stable way.
But there are four questions facing Xu Qingxiao right now.
Who is behind the scenes supporting the empress’ ascension to the throne?
Why does he support the empress' ascension to the throne?
Who is the mastermind behind this?
What is his plan?
The first two questions may be answered in a short time. Prince Huaining cannot wait any longer. Sooner or later he will rebel, and sooner or later he will have a head-on confrontation with Prince Huaining. Not Prince Huaining, nor other princes will sit idly by.
in spite of.
It would be even better if Prince Huaining did not rebel. He would ask directly in his face. Anyway, these vassal kings have had enough. Kill them when they need to be killed, and cut them down when they need to be killed. If the Wei Dynasty wants to develop completely quietly, the vassal kings
Must be dealt with.
It must be dealt with.
The problems that really bother Xu Qingxiao are the latter two.
Who is the mastermind behind the scenes? Is it Wen Gong? What is this guy planning? Zhongzhou Xianzang? But why does Wen Gong have to be involved? To influence Confucianism and Taoism?
Suddenly, one thing happened after another, making Xu Qingxiao really overwhelmed.
After all, I underestimated this world too much and thought that achieving this level would be considered a complete meritorious deed.
Now it seems that there is still a long way to go. If we don't catch this guy, we won't be able to live a good life.
But fortunately.
My own magic can be solved, otherwise, I will be in trouble.
"Xu Aiqing, I will help you think of a solution regarding the Demon Suppressing Stone. There should be more than one piece between heaven and earth."
"I have sent people to search, maybe we can find the second piece. At the same time, I have been secretly investigating the whereabouts of the late emperor's treasure. If there are any clues, I will let you know as soon as possible."
At this point, the empress had nothing to say. She looked at Xu Qingxiao and said.
"My lord, thank you very much, Your Majesty."
Xu Qingxiao nodded, knowing everything he needed to know, but he also had some clues about the treasure left by Emperor Wu.
You can start investigating.
"It doesn't matter. By the way, Xu Aiqing, what is your second thing?"
The empress asked Xu Qingxiao the second thing.
"Oh, back to Your Majesty, the second thing I have to do is not a big deal. I plan to go out to pay homage to Zhu Sheng."
When Xu Qingxiao opened his mouth, this was the second thing he did.
"Sacrifice to Saint Zhu?"
For some reason, the empress felt a little disappointed when she heard that Xu Qingxiao's second thing happened, but she was only a little disappointed and quickly calmed down.
Seems a little curious.
"Well, I have become a semi-saint, so I should go and worship Zhu Sheng. After all, Zhu Sheng is our great Wei saint, and I should respect him."
"Although Zhu Sheng's lineage insults me, I still have full respect for Zhu Sheng."
Xu Qingxiao said out loud that he wanted to leave, go to Zhu Sheng's former residence, get Zhu Sheng's true spirit, and then start investigating the matter of Emperor Wu's legacy.
"Okay, I will send some people to follow you to protect your safety."
The empress nodded and planned to send some people to protect Xu Qingxiao.
But as soon as he said this, Xu Qingxiao smiled bitterly and looked at the empress.
"Your Majesty, just send someone to protect me. I am a third-grade warrior after all. I have nothing to fear in the territory of Wei Dynasty."
Xu Qingxiao rejected the empress's kindness.
"Okay, how long will Xu Aiqing be away for?"
After being rejected, the empress was not angry, but asked Xu Qingxiao how long he would be gone.
"I'll be back within ten days."
Xu Qingxiao answered truthfully.
Ten days? This time is not long, the empress said with a gentle expression.
"In that case, Xu Aiqing should take good care of yourself and don't let me worry about you."
She spoke subconsciously, but as soon as she finished speaking, she realized something was wrong.
However, Xu Qingxiao didn't notice anything, but nodded and bowed to the empress.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
"My lord, please retire."
"Well, Xu Aiqing, walk slowly."
The empress replied.
At that moment, Xu Qingxiao turned around and left, walking out of the Yangxin Hall.
Walk out of the Yangxin Hall.
Xu Qingxiao went directly back to the Hou Mansion and informed Chen Xinghe that she was leaving. At the same time, she also asked Chen Xinghe when he would go back to see his teacher.
But Chen Xinghe told him that he did not plan to go back and planned to study hard until the results of the imperial examination came out.
Although I don’t know why Chen Xinghe suddenly became so diligent.
But Xu Qingxiao still gave encouragement to this senior brother.
In this way, Xu Qingxiao took away the ancient Alchemy Scripture, then left the Hou Mansion directly and went to Taohua Temple.
Before I leave, I want to meet the girl in white.
Perhaps because Xu Qingxiao was completely relieved after learning that the magic could be solved.
From Ping'an County to Kyoto of the Great Wei Dynasty, Xu Qingxiao had not come into contact with many women.
Princess Yongping does not count.
Then there are only Luo Baiyi and the empress.
Both of them are stunning in the world, but Xu Qingxiao prefers Luo Baiyi. The empress is the emperor after all, so how dare she have any wrong thoughts.
But Luo Baiyi is different. Xu Qingxiao likes that kind of light and otherworldly feeling.
So it’s also a good thing to have some emotional contact before leaving.
However, when he saw Luo Baiyi again, the latter burst into tears as soon as he saw her, leaving Xu Qingxiao a little confused what to say.
Subconsciously, he thought he was being bullied, but after asking for more information, he found out that Luo Baiyi was heartbroken when he was struck by thunder yesterday, and now he was so excited to see him again.
This made Xu Qingxiao couldn't help but smile, but her heart still felt warm.
At the very least, there is someone in this world who still cares about me.
"Don't cry anymore."
"Girl in white, you'll look ugly if you cry again."
Xu Qingxiao smiled slightly.
As soon as he said this, Luo Baiyi did stop crying, but still took a deep breath, which looked really sad.
"Girl in white, Xu is leaving for a while, about ten days. Do I need to bring you anything?"
Xu Qingxiao said what she meant.
Luo Baiyi shook his head, looked at Xu Qingxiao and said.
"As long as Mr. Xu returns safely, Bai Yi will be satisfied."
Luo Baiyi spoke out, his voice seemed timid, and after saying this, his beautiful face turned a little red.
"Okay, don't be sad."
"By the way, girl in white, have you checked with the doctor?"
Xu Qingxiao still remembered Luo Baiyi's coldness, so she asked.
"After looking for it, the doctor still couldn't tell. He just said that it was a bit cold and related to the physical constitution."
Luo Baiyi spoke, making Xu Qingxiao a little curious.
But Xu Qingxiao didn't waste any time. After drinking some wine, she stood up and said.
"Wait until Xu comes back and after finishing the treatment, find someone to help you cure it."
"Girl in white, don't worry, Xu is gone."
Xu Qingxiao came here purely because he wanted to see Luo Baiyi, because here, for some reason, he could always put aside all his worries.
Maybe it's because of Luo Baiyi's tranquility, or maybe he found a piece of pure land for himself.
Xu Qingxiao left.
Luo Baiyi didn't stay. She knew that Xu Qingxiao still had a lot of things to do and was burdened with many things. She couldn't keep Xu Qingxiao.
But she still spoke, asking Xu Qingxiao to pay attention.
"Don't miss it."
Xu Qingxiao waved her hand and left Taohua Temple for less than half an hour.
After leaving Taohua Temple, Xu Qingxiao left Kyoto of the Wei Dynasty directly.
The holy power of martial arts gathered its wings behind him and flew rapidly towards Yangping County.
Zhu Sheng's former residence is located in Yangping County of the Wei Dynasty, which is also Linyang County and the hometown of Linyang Marquis.
Along the way.
Xu Qingxiao was thinking about one thing.
The matter of the treasure left behind by Emperor Wu.
It stands to reason that the Emperor Wu's treasure had been taken away by him, and he did not find any demon-suppressing stone.
Moreover, Xu Qingxiao remembered very clearly that except for the ancient Alchemy Scripture, there was indeed nothing else. If there was any, it would have been taken away by herself.
Then there is only one possibility.
That is not the real legacy of Emperor Wu.
The true legacy of Emperor Wu.
It's in Ping'an County, but not in that place.
The place where the ancient alchemy scriptures are hidden is a fake treasure location.
Emperor Wu’s deceptive tactics.
But in order to make people believe it deeply, the ancient Alchemy Scripture was placed in it.
I was indeed fooled.
Thinking of this, Xu Qingxiao couldn't help but awaken the ancient alchemy scripture.
Ask about some relevant things.
And at the same time.
The Imperial Palace of the Wei Dynasty.
Inside the Yangxin Hall.
The empress sat quietly on the dragon chair, and Her Highness Zhao Waner's voice kept ringing.
"Your Majesty, a letter has been sent from the Supreme Immortal Sect. Five days later, all the inner disciples of the Immortal Sect will arrive in Kyoto of the Great Wei Dynasty. The other six Immortal Sects have also sent letters one after another, and they will all arrive in Kyoto in the near future."
Zhao Waner spoke up and informed the empress of this matter.
The Great Wei Wen Palace left.
Natural Immortal Sect can naturally enter Beijing.
"good."
"Let the Ministry of Rites prepare to receive you, and don't neglect these Immortal Sect disciples."
The empress opened her mouth and said so.
Soon, Zhao Waner nodded and continued.
"Your Majesty, King Pingluan has left Kyoto, but before leaving, he went to Peach Blossom Temple again. Do you want to block the news like last time?"
Zhao Waner spoke up and said this.
But as soon as she said these words, the empress's eyes changed slightly.
Went to Peach Blossom Temple again?
"Did you find that Luo Baiyi again?"
the empress asked.
"Your Majesty, yes."
Zhao Waner answered truthfully.
"I know, continue to block the news."
The empress gave an answer, but she didn't have much reaction, but she seemed a little weird inside.
For a moment, she was a little curious, what did Luo Baiyi look like, and why could Xu Qingxiao be so obsessed with him?
Also, doesn’t Xu Qingxiao like me? Why is it like this?
No, no, could it be that I am really a little indifferent?
Oh, I don’t care if I don’t want it or not.
Suddenly, many thoughts came to the empress' mind.
Just quickly.
Three hours passed.
The sky is like ink.
at this time.
Nanyu Mansion.
Ping'an County.
Looking at Qiu Mountain.
A group of figures slowly appeared.
They are from the White Clothes Sect.
They are waiting for the full moon.
