An eleven or twelve-year-old child with a high crown and royal robe, a face like a crown jade, and handsome features, who looks like a large porcelain doll, sits high on the throne, looking at Wu Xin with clear and bright eyes.
Yang Tong, King of Yue.
Although he tried his best to look very serious and solemn, he could not hide the curiosity and admiration in his eyes. It was obvious that he knew Wu Guogong Wu Xin in advance.
The official closest to Yang Tong was an old man wearing a military robe, with a long beard hanging down his chest, a gentle face, and looked quite stable and honest. He was Shang Fan Zigai of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
From what Wu Xin knew in his previous life, during the Battle of Dongdu, Fan Zigai was left behind in Dongdu. If Wu Xin wanted to control the military power of Dongdu, this man was his strongest opponent, so he would naturally pay special attention to it.
However, Fan Zigai has not yet been canonized as a left-behind guard in the Eastern Capital.
Opposite Fan Zigai was a middle-aged man wearing a military robe, but with a burly body and a fierce temperament. He was Yang Wang, the prince of the country, who looked more like a military general than a civil servant.
Yang Wang comes from the Yang family of Hongnong Huayin, and is of the same family as Yang Qifeng, the saint of the Hehuan sect. This family also has famous talents such as Yang Xiong, Yang Gongren, and Yang Shidao, the king of Sui Dynasty, who should not be underestimated.
Wu Xin pays more attention to these two people, but others have heard about them, so they are a little confused.
There were thirty-five people in total, only eleven of them were wearing civil and military official uniforms, and the rest were obviously not Sui officials. There were also nine monks and five Taoist priests.
Those who can be ranked in the main hall have a very high status. They are either officials of the Sui Dynasty, or they are the overlord or representative of a force.
In this world, strength is respected, which means that everyone in the palace has a high level of cultivation.
More than thirty people all looked at Wu Xin. They were as powerful as the waves. Coupled with the majestic and deep and vast environment of the hall, it was easy for people to feel that they were humble and insignificant and had to be cautious!
Wu Xin ignored the crowd's pressure and walked into the hall. He reached the front of the hall, folded his hands and bowed in greeting:
"Veteran Wu Xin, I am here to see His Royal Highness the King of Yue. Due to urgent state affairs, I was unable to meet you in time. Please punish me!"
Lao Chen is the title of a senior minister, as well as the title of a person with a higher position. Take a look?
"The important thing is important. The Duke of the country will not be obliged to pay tribute. I will grant you a seat!"
Yang Tong responded in an old-fashioned manner, with strict etiquette, but his immature face and bright eyes weakened the stability and maturity.
Soon, an eunuch brought a rosewood chair to the front of the crowd. It was like one person was inferior to ten thousand people.
Wu Xin obliged and refused to take his seat, which made everyone present look strange but remained silent.
Without him, the owner of this place is a child with a yellow mouth; among others, he is also a weak-headed young man.
Although both of them appear to be quite precocious and stable, their age makes a group of people in their seventies and eighties, with the youngest over half a hundred years old. How embarrassing!
But they still couldn't find any reason to blame. King Yang Tong of Yue was the emperor's grandson and prince, so there was nothing to say. Wu Xin's generals and civil servants were all fourth-grade, and he was a high-ranking official with both civil and military skills, second only to Fan Zigai, Shang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Half a chip. But it was Wu Guogong, with a peerless title, several ranks higher than the highest-ranked Fan Zigai present, let alone those who didn't even have a title!
Anyone who thinks that Wu Xin is underestimated because of his young age will be honest when he considers that Yang Su, the king of Yue among the nine kings of the Sui Dynasty, was killed by him with his own hands.
The title of Duke Wu was obtained by stepping on the corpse of King Yang Su of Yue, so no one could make sense of it.
More importantly, Wu Guogong Wu Xin may seem young, but he has accomplished many achievements. He fought against the purple-faced king, killed the genius of the Wang family in Taiyuan, and went south to serve as county magistrate in bloody battles, massacred Jurong, and suppressed the bandits in Maoshan. He fought bloody battles in Jijun and ambushed.
The King of Yue, the bloodbath of Wuyang, the fierce battle at Tongshan, etc. Just looking at these deeds, you will know that Duke Wu stepped on countless corpses and came in blood all the way. He was a ruthless, decisive and bloody lord!
"Why is Duke Wu so anxious to lead his army to besiege the Zheng Mansion?"
The atmosphere in the main hall was quite silent. King Yang Tong of Yue was the first to ask, his childlike voice not gone, but also a bit majestic.
"Report to His Highness the King of Yue! Extraordinary times require extraordinary measures! The old minister obtained reliable information and evidence. The Zheng family in Luoyang colluded with the main members of the border assassination case, such as Wudao, Xuefan, Butterfly, etc., and was involved with many rebels. Now the rebellion
The army is about to approach the city. In order to avoid misfortune and chaos, and miss the important events of the Eastern Capital, I have to kill first and then report, and the thunder will destroy me. Your Highness, please take a closer look!"
Wu Xin sat upright on his chair, holding his hands in his hands and responded calmly, as if he was serving the country and the people with great righteousness.
"Oh! What a pity, Mr. Zheng." Yang Tong responded. It was obvious that it was just a procedural intervention and he didn't care much!
Fan Zigai raised his hand and asked, "May I ask Mr. Wu, do you have any reliable information or evidence? After all, the Zheng family is a wealthy family in the eastern capital, and it also controls the military power of Henan County. It is difficult to make an uprising. The timing may not be right!"
"Because of this, I want to be destroyed by thunder, otherwise the rebels will come to the city. If the Zheng family takes the opportunity to cause chaos, who can bear this responsibility?!"
Regarding Fan Zigai, Wu Xin was not so respectful. He just nodded politely and responded naturally. He then continued: "Master Shang may not be aware of it. The Zheng family has already admitted that there were Dade Temple, Dugu Clan, and Baima at that time.
Temple, Dexing Bofu, Pingkou County Public and other representatives as witnesses."
"Oh? Is there anything else?" Fan Zigai replied in a daze.
Since Zheng himself admitted it, the evidence is naturally not important.
Of course, Fan Zigai was not avenging the Zheng family or having any objections to Wu Xin. He was just interfering with his duties to prevent the Yue King Yang Tong from opening his mouth and ending it with just one sentence, which was unworthy of his majesty!
Wu Xin glanced at everyone present and responded calmly: "Yes! According to Zheng Long, the head of the Zheng clan, the major border assassination case also involved many levels of forces such as the Dugu clan, Baima Temple, and the Wang clan of Taiyuan. Everyone heard about it at that time.
How can it be false?"
"Well"
Including Yang Tong and Fan Zigai, everyone present looked stunned and shocked. The atmosphere suddenly stagnated and seemed depressing and dull.
This is the reaction brought about by power. The gathering of strong people and changes in emotions will cause obvious changes in air flow, breath, atmosphere, etc.
"Amitabha! How can we take seriously the words of the crazy struggle of the rebels at the end of the day? Fortunately, Duke Wu has both civil and military skills, is astute and far-sighted, and knows his soldiers well. He can destroy them as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless troubles! What a blessing!"
An old monk with white eyebrows and a majestic appearance sighed with compassion on his face, but he obviously looked up to Wu Xin and slapped him fiercely.
"" Wu Xin looked at the old monk in confusion.
Fan Zigai promptly transmitted the message: "This is the seat in front of the White Horse Temple, Zen Master Rongjue! The representative of the White Horse Temple in negotiating with the imperial court."
White Horse Temple is known as the first Buddhist temple, and is also known as "ancestral court" and "shiyuan". Its strength is unfathomable, it is a behemoth, and it naturally has many positions.
The so-called front minister is the highest official in charge of foreign affairs in White Horse Temple, just like the Minister of Rites, or to put it bluntly, the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Of course, since it is the seat of the White Horse Temple, its strength is naturally extremely terrifying. It is estimated that it is no less than Master Juechen, the master of the four major seats of the Shaolin Temple killed by Wu Xin, who is also the peak monk at the level of the Queen of Demons!
Wu Xin smiled and nodded, and said comfortingly: "What Zen Master Rigakue said is absolutely true, and I think so too. How can the traitor's words be taken seriously!"
As far as Wu Xin knew, the White Horse Temple now has disciples of the Chang generation who have "extensive minds, prosperous original enlightenment, benevolent saintly fruits, and often magnanimous behavior."
It can be imagined that Zen Master Rigpa is of high seniority.
"Amitabha! The Duke of Wu is wise and wise, possesses both political integrity and talent, is loyal to the emperor and the country, and can see thousands of miles away. He is truly the blessing of the Sui Dynasty and the blessing of the common people!"
Zen Master Rigpa Rigaku proclaimed the name of the Buddha again, and praised him repeatedly as if it was true.
I heard that Wu Xin and everyone present looked weird. In order to appease Wu Xin, Baima Temple really said good things. How about the demeanor of a top monk?
No wonder it's the front seat. Not only is he strong in cultivation, he is also shameless and eloquent!
A wealthy middle-aged man wearing a marquis purple robe said with a sneer: "What a joke! I, the Dugu family, are recognized as loyal ministers of the Sui Dynasty and are the family of the Miaoshan Bodhisattva. How could I assassinate the Holy One? Do something detrimental to the Sui Dynasty?!"
The Miaoshan Bodhisattva refers to Dugu Jialuo, the Empress Dowager of the Sui Dynasty, and Yang Jian, the Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, is also known as the two saints.
"This is Dugu Chan, the son of Marquis Jianzhong (Dugu Tuo), the representative of the Dugu clan in Luoyang!" Fan Zigai introduced him through a friendly message.
Dugu Tuo was the younger brother and sixth brother of Empress Dowager Dugu Jialuo of the Sui Dynasty. He was a famous historical general. His son Dugu Chan naturally had an extraordinary status and inherited the title of his father Dugu Tuo.
"What you said doesn't count, what I said doesn't count, and what Zheng Long said doesn't count. However, I will know the truth clearly!"
Wu Xin glanced at Dugu Chan and said calmly. He paused and then said curiously: "Nowadays, geniuses from the Beiyan Kingdom of North Korea, the Xiongnu Zhao Kingdom, and the Xianbei Wei Kingdom are emerging one after another and are famous all over the world. I wonder if Jianzhong Hou is
Are there representatives from the clan competing for supremacy? We can’t lose to those remnants of the previous dynasty!”
"It's just a few small families, not worth mentioning. What's more, those are just young people."
Dugu Chan waved his hand and responded proudly. After a pause, he suddenly came to his senses and glared angrily at Wu Xin and asked, "What do you mean, Duke Wu? Do you think that my Dugu family is really involved in the border assassination case?"
The Dugu surname comes from the Dugu Hun tribe of Xianbei in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and is a surname that is the Chinese version of the tribe's name.
Wu Xin reflects that the Dugu family is also a remnant of the previous dynasty. It is difficult to know his intentions. Fortunately, Dugu Chan is not too stupid and reacts very quickly!
Including Yang Tong, Fan Zigai and others, they were frightened. They didn't expect that Wu Guogong would even dare to provoke the Queen Mother's family. He was really arrogant and cruel!
"It's not what I think, but what Zheng Long said. Of course, I will know everything clearly, so Marquis Jianzhong doesn't need to worry!" Wu Xin responded with a smile.
Dugu Chan frowned and replied, "I, Dugu, haven't done anything, so why are I worried?"
"That's good, haha, I don't think so!" Wu Xin replied with a smile.
Fan Zigai looked deeply at Wu Xin, and he heard it.
Duke Wu Guo was beating, warning and blackmailing the Dugu family. Fan Zigai could only sigh that he was getting old!
"Cough! Cough! Just control the impact of Zheng's matter!"
King Yang Tong of Yue coughed several times to stop Dugu Chan from continuing to pester him. He paused, looked at Wu Xin and asked:
"We are currently discussing. The rebel army is approaching and the situation is critical. We need one person to take charge of the overall situation, that is, Dongdu will stay behind. I wonder who Wu Guogong thinks is the most suitable person?"
