Chapter 235 Wen Gong did not lose? The saints grandson appeared? The prince returned to the court? The barbarian
Clan attack?
Huaining Prince's Mansion.
King Huaining looked at the masked man.
This time, he was not furious, but looked at the other party calmly.
At this moment.
The masked man in the audience also fell silent.
There is no other reason.
This time, Xu Qingxiao was indeed beyond their imagination.
I thought that the Haoran Dynasty could kill Xu Qingxiao.
But what I didn't expect was that Wen Gong was gone.
Although there is still a part left, this part can no longer compete with Xu Qingxiao.
This is indeed embarrassing.
It broke the original plan.
However, the masked man was not discouraged, but looked at Prince Huaiping and said.
"Your Majesty, calm down."
"Although Xu Qingxiao escaped death again this time, we still have options."
"And the odds of winning are still very good."
The masked man said this.
As soon as he said this, Prince Huaining laughed.
"Ha ha ha ha."
"How many times have I heard this kind of remarks?"
"Didn't you say that you had a great chance of winning that time?"
"Fortunately, I have never listened to your nonsense. Otherwise, I am afraid that I will have become the soul of Xu Qingxiao."
Prince Huaining sneered.
"Your Majesty, calm down."
"This time, we do have a chance of winning."
The other party spoke with an extremely determined tone.
"Yes, yes, there is a chance of winning, there is a chance of winning. If you win, you win."
"I trust you, but don't contact me again in the future."
"I am tired. All the bullshit grandiose projects and immortality will be left to my death."
Prince Huaining's tone was very calm, but it was so calm that it was even more obvious how angry he was.
Prince Huaining really felt that he had been deceived by lard.
Cooperate with these people.
First he foolishly allowed the empress to ascend the throne, then he foolishly handed over the military talisman, and finally he foolishly kept a low profile and hid at home without going out.
Every now and then, a masked man would come over and say something.
We won, we won.
This time we have a great chance of winning.
As long as the time is right, everything will fall into place.
He was tired of hearing these words and tired of hearing them.
It really doesn't make any sense.
He has no desire anymore, he was completely beaten to death by these people.
Now even Zhu Sheng came out and did not kill Xu Qingxiao. Instead, he was uprooted by Xu Qingxiao.
He was completely desperate.
If you want military power but don't have military power, if you want people and no one, the only hope is Wen Gong. Now that Wen Gong is gone, what can you do to fight Xu Qingxiao?
The vassal kings everywhere were completely frightened. Who dared to rebel?
Everyone is already thinking about how to please the empress.
After all, the current Wei Dynasty has prosperous national fortunes. They are the princes of the Wei Dynasty. Even if their power is taken away, it will not affect anything. They live their lives as usual. Even the better the Wei Dynasty, the better their lives will be.
Therefore, there is basically no hope for rebellion.
It is precisely because of this that Prince Huaiping has no respect for the masked man at all.
I would have been polite to him at first, after all, the other party has a lot of background.
But now, what else is there to be polite about?
Looking at Prince Huaiping like this.
The masked man was a little silent.
Prince Huaiping was also silent.
The two were silent for a long time, and finally Prince Huaiping spoke.
"Don't come to see me again in the future."
"I am afraid that others will misunderstand me."
When Prince Huaiping opened his mouth, he had no good impression of this group of people and no trust at all.
Let's end it like this.
He doesn't want to cooperate anymore.
And as Prince Huaiping's voice sounded, the masked man spoke.
"Your Majesty."
"After decades of hard work, is it really possible to give up?"
The masked man's voice sounded.
But as soon as he said this, Prince Huaining became completely angry.
"Does this king want to give up?"
"You are the one who forced me to give up."
"Back then, you asked me to support Ji Ling to come to power. I listened to your lies and secretly supported Ji Ling to come to power. I did it."
"A year ago, you asked me to hand over my military talismans, let the empress control the vassal, and let me stay behind the scenes. I did it."
"Now, you keep saying that you are sure of victory, but now I only see that Wei is getting stronger step by step, and the Empress is also getting stronger step by step."
Prince Huaining couldn't help but roar.
He looked at the other party, his eyes slightly cold.
Feeling the cold gaze of Prince Huaining, the masked man thought for a moment, then looked at Prince Huaining and said.
"Your Majesty, although Wen Gong is defeated this time, it does not mean that we are defeated."
"It can only be said that it did not achieve our expected goals."
The masked man said calmly. Before Prince Huaining could continue to speak, the masked man continued.
"Your Majesty, I know you are extremely angry right now."
"But anger can't solve anything. What I said just now are just words of anger. No one wants to waste decades of efforts."
"I also know how the prince is feeling now, but I do still have a chance of winning, and it is a huge chance of winning."
The masked man is still confident that he has a chance of winning.
"Great odds?"
"Then I would like to hear what your great chances of winning are."
Prince Huaining looked at the masked man and said this.
The latter was somewhat silent, because these things should not be told to Prince Huaining.
In their eyes, Prince Huaining was just a chess piece.
But he also knew that if he didn't make it clear to Prince Huaining now, he was afraid that Prince Huaining would really sever cooperation.
After thinking for a while, the masked man finally sighed.
"As long as these three things are successful, the prince will be able to ascend the throne."
The masked man spoke out.
"Those three things?"
Prince Huaining looked at the other party.
"First, the prince advocated extraditing the Buddhists to settle in the Wei Dynasty. Therefore, the Buddhists successfully argued the case and came forward directly. In this way, the Buddhists will definitely help the prince."
The masked man tells the first chance of winning.
After hearing this, Prince Huaining was a little silent.
No matter how powerful Buddhism is, he still has some idea.
If we can get the full support of Buddhism, it will indeed be more powerful than a tiger. It is not even as simple as adding wings to a tiger.
"What about the second one?"
Prince Huaining continued to ask.
"The second is that the prince should extradite all the major forces in the world to join in, pass on the teachings, and create a scene where a hundred schools of thought contend. In this way, Xu Qingxiao can be suppressed."
"Now Xu Qingxiao's status in the Wei Dynasty is extremely high. It can be said that he is lower than one person and above ten thousand people. He wants to create a voice. He is the only voice in the Wei Dynasty."
"The prince can use this matter to impeach him and attract various academic sects, so that he will not be obsessed with learning by heart. His disciples of Xu Qingxiao are everywhere. As long as new knowledge enters the Wei Dynasty, there will be all kinds of different voices."
"It will make it easier for me to do some work."
"Of course, don't settle in the capital of the Wei Dynasty, but spread to various prefectures and counties, fund these sects with a lot of money, distribute it to the people everywhere, and establish hundreds of religions."
The masked man said the second thing.
But after saying this, Prince Huaining couldn't help but frown.
"Will this work?"
"As strong as Wen Gong, he was defeated completely and completely."
"Attracting so many forces is just to create a little trouble for Xu Qingxiao. Then Xu Qingxiao gives the order and sweeps away. In the end, isn't it just a wedding dress?"
Prince Huaining said this, his eyes full of contempt.
Nothing else.
Is Wen Gong strong? The saint's orthodoxy was directly overthrown by Xu Qingxiao. What else can stop Xu Qingxiao next?
Even if some cats and dogs come, it is just a little stumbling block for Xu Qingxiao.
Waste some time.
But as soon as he said this, the masked man couldn't help but speak slowly.
"Your Majesty."
"Who said... Wen Gong lost?"
His voice was calm.
One sentence, but the prince was immediately stunned on the spot.
"What do you mean?"
Prince Huaining stared at the other party, his eyes full of astonishment.
Wen Gong lost completely, this is something everyone in the world knows.
Even Wen Gong is gone, Zhu Sheng's lineage is dead, absolutely dead, and now he actually tells himself that Wen Gong didn't lose?
How could this not shock Prince Huaining?
"Your Majesty, it's hard to say more about this matter. There are many things that cannot be taken at face value."
The masked man answered, his voice calm.
But in his words, he seemed extremely confident.
"You mean, Wen Gong hasn't lost yet?"
"This is impossible. Wen Gong has now disappeared. All the great scholars in Zhu Sheng's lineage have been beheaded. Two half saints and one sub-sage are dead."
"How is it possible that you haven't lost yet?"
Prince Huaining looked at the other party, his eyes full of determination.
At the same time, he was also very curious about what the other party meant when he said this.
"Your Majesty."
"There are some things that I shouldn't say, and I won't say them. Don't ask more about things that the prince shouldn't know. Otherwise, it will only do harm to the prince, but no good."
The masked man spoke slowly.
But as soon as he said this, Prince Huaining shook his head and looked at the other party with extremely firm eyes.
He looked extremely serious.
"Today, you must give me an answer. If you don't make it clear, I will never cooperate with you."
"If I sever ties with you, I can still live out my old age in peace, and I won't worry about you going to report to the court. Your Majesty will not kill me."
"Xu Qingxiao wants to kill me, but he won't kill me. As long as I don't really rebel, no one can touch me."
"On the contrary, it's you. I know that you only regard me as a chess piece, but I know even more clearly that this chess piece of my king is extremely important."
"Without me, all your plans are empty talk. I don't know what the future will be like, but you need me now."
Prince Huaining lost his temper.
His attitude was extremely resolute. He looked at the masked man and said what he meant was very simple.
Stop playing riddles here, just say what you have.
Otherwise, stop cooperating.
As soon as he said this, the latter became somewhat silent.
After a while, the latter spoke.
"Now that it's over."
"It's not impossible to say."
"It's just that it involves the real core content. It's best for the prince not to get involved."
"In a few days, a new sage will appear in the Wei Dynasty."
The masked man spoke slowly.
As soon as he said this, Prince Huaining frowned.
"Did the Wei Dynasty give birth to a new saint?"
"How can this be?"
"who is it?"
Prince Huaining asked curiously.
"A direct descendant of the Great Sage."
"Saint Sun."
The masked man spoke calmly.
"Saint grandson?"
Prince Huaining was stunned.
He looked at the other party, his eyes full of disbelief.
The first generation of saints was the great saint, and they were too far away from now.
And there are no historical records. Did the first generation of saints have any descendants?
How come another saint-grandson has appeared?
"kindness."
"This is our strongest chess piece."
The masked man replied slowly.
As soon as he said this, Prince Huaining shook his head.
"I've never heard of a saint grandson."
"Furthermore, even if he admits that he is a saint grandson, what evidence is there? If he is said to be a saint grandson, does he mean he is a saint grandson?"
Prince Huaining asked.
"He has evidence."
"There is absolute evidence."
"In a few days, when the Buddhist Dongzhou successfully defends the Dharma and oppresses the world's forces, he will appear."
"At that time, the prince will know what kind of trump card we have."
He spoke calmly, his words full of confidence.
A direct descendant of the Great Sage.
A new saint calls himself the grandson of the saint.
Such a figure can indeed attract the world's attention and put a certain amount of pressure on Xu Qingxiao.
"In today's Wei Dynasty, Xu Qingxiao's power is overwhelming. If this holy grandson appears, I'm afraid he won't be able to cause any trouble."
Prince Huaining did not question the other party's identity. Since they said there was one, he believed there was one.
However, what will happen if the real saint grandson appears?
Now the person in charge of the Wei Dynasty is Xu Qingxiao, and there are less than 30% of Confucian and Taoist scholars in the world, and most of the 30% support Xu Qingxiao.
In this case, it would be meaningless.
"No."
"Your Majesty was wrong."
"The appearance of Saint Sun is not to target Xu Qingxiao, but to reshape the lineage of scholars."
"Your Majesty, what is Xu Qingxiao's status in Wei Dynasty now?"
the masked man asked.
"Prince Wei."
Prince Huaining replied.
"right."
"He Xu Qingxiao is now the king of the Wei Dynasty, and he only focuses on government affairs. The appearance of the holy grandson is to spread the word to the world and re-establish scholars."
"Not participating in the government affairs, but wholeheartedly pointing out a clear path for scholars all over the world. In this way, no matter how powerful Xu Qingxiao is, will he be able to influence the holy grandson?"
The masked man said with great confidence.
As soon as he said this, Prince Huaining thought about it for a while.
He understands this.
Although Xu Qingxiao was a Confucian and Taoist saint, Xu Qingxiao's thoughts were basically on the Wei Dynasty, people's livelihood plans, national wars, and a lot of things were handled by Xu Qingxiao.
In this case, Xu Qingxiao really did not have time to preach.
If a saint-grandson appears at this juncture, and instead of fighting with Xu Qingxiao, he devotes himself to educating the world's scholars, Xu Qingxiao will indeed be helpless.
It’s impossible that you don’t teach others and yet you don’t allow others to teach them, right?
"But what if Xu Qingxiao is willing to preach?"
Prince Huaining asked with a frown.
In his eyes, no one would choose to give up on Confucianism and Taoism.
Especially Xu Qingxiao, he is a twenty-year-old semi-sage with extremely high prestige now. If you want to say something unpleasant, he will wait until Wei's matter is resolved.
Xu Qingxiao went to preach again.
He didn't know whether to become a saint or not, but becoming a sub-saint was still a simple matter.
It is perfectly normal for a Confucian and Taoist leader to become a sub-sage.
"If he is willing to preach."
"That would be a great thing for us."
"Your Majesty, we just talked about the second thing. Do you know what the third thing is?"
The masked man spoke.
"What's the third thing?"
Prince Huaining asked.
"The prince returns to court."
The masked man spoke slowly.
"The prince returns to court?"
At this moment, Prince Huaining was completely shocked.
Why did he return to court as a prince again?
"What does this mean?"
Prince Huaining asked with a frown.
According to the previous plan, he should not use the name of the prince to raise an army to rebel.
Then, when the rebellion is successful, the prince will take the throne, and then the prince will give up the throne to himself.
Why does it sound like you want the prince to return directly to the court?
"Your Majesty."
"Given the current situation, it would be unwise to start a rebellion."
"We must now bring down the Wei Dynasty and create internal strife and external disasters."
"Three years from now, the world will be in chaos. It won't even take three years, maybe one year from now, the world will start to be in chaos."
"Zhu Sheng killed the Confucian and Taoist scholars in the world, turned their power into holy power, and suppressed the Yin power of heaven and earth. But after Zhu Sheng's true spirit was unsealed, the Yin power will grow crazily."
"The three major dynasties and the world's forces all know clearly that before the chaos comes, they must exhaust all their efforts to develop the country."
"Whoever survives the turmoil will be the final winner."
"And if we want to rebel, we have to create trouble."
"The prince returns to the court, and he must return to the court in a dignified manner, but he does not need to compete with the empress for the throne."
"It's just a matter of fighting for power. As long as you fight for power, you are qualified to win over power."
"The six forces in the central court have been stabilized, but the forces outside the court have not yet been stabilized. The reason why the vassal kings in various places are shrinking is simply because they lack a leader."
"The return of the Crown Prince of Wei is a reassurance for them."
"When the time comes, the forces of Buddhism, coupled with the power of hundreds of religions, as well as the Tuxie Dynasty and the Chu Yuan Dynasty will also do their best to assist the prince."
"What's more important is that the holy grandson will also appear and support the prince unconditionally."
"May I ask, Your Majesty, do we have a good chance of winning or not?"
The masked man said this.
There was a hint of meaning in the words.
Prince Huaining was completely surprised.
The extradition to Buddhism, the birth of the holy grandson, and the prince's return to the court were all a seamless plan.
The Buddhist debater's journey eastward put great pressure on the world's forces, and the appearance of Shengsun was just right.
However, a saint-grandson must have ironclad evidence to prove that he is a saint-grandson.
If the self-certification is successful, the saint-sun comes to the Wei Dynasty and guides the scholars in the world. In fact, he is robbing Xu Qingxiao's bowl, and he robs it cleanly.
After all, Xu Qingxiao's biggest problem is that he is the king of the Wei Dynasty and is still focused on government affairs.
He did not put his whole heart and mind into the scholar.
In this case, there will be an opportunity to take advantage of it.
When the Holy Sun confirms his identity and settles in the Wei Dynasty, he will join forces with the Holy Sun and the vassal kings from various places, and then let the Tuxie Dynasty and the Chu Yuan Dynasty put pressure from public opinion.
Welcome the prince back to the court.
If the power of the empress is taken away, the Wei Dynasty will no longer be able to work together.
As Prince Huaining was thinking.
The masked man spoke slowly again.
"My lord, I might as well tell you one more thing."
"The barbarians are preparing to attack the Wei Dynasty."
The voice fell.
In an instant, Prince Huaining was completely shocked.
