King Wu Du Fuwei has been living a very happy life recently. Every day he drinks wine, listens to songs, and does shameless things with beautiful ladies in the King Wu's Mansion given to him by His Majesty Li Yuan.
There is no way, Du Fuwei has been idle since he followed the King of Qin to Chang'an. Although he has a high official position in name, in fact everyone knows that he can't take care of things at all. He must have good clothes, good food, beautiful singers and the like.
It's essential, but don't think about other things.
If it were another person, like Li Zitong, he would definitely not be able to bear it.
Fortunately, Du Fuwei was not a very ambitious person in the first place, and he was lucky enough to become the master of Jianghuai, so he could still take this kind of treatment calmly.
Today, just when Du Fuwei had just woken up and was about to get up and move around for dinner, a servant suddenly ran in from the panicked door.
"Your Highness King Wu, an angel has come outside the palace, saying that he is here to deliver an edict to you on behalf of the saint."
"Angel? Saint..."
After hearing what the servant said, Du Fuwei couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
"Didn't I just give you a reward last month? What kind of edict will the saint give me now..."
After entering Chang'an, in order to show that he is harmless to humans and animals, Du Fuwei rarely even goes out to Prince Wu's palace, and has no contact with the old troops in the Jianghuai area, so until now he does not know that Wang Xiongdan has already
After his death, the Jianghuai Army rebelled again.
However, Du Fuwei naturally did not dare to neglect the saint's edict. He stood up and asked someone to tidy up his clothes and shouted to the servants.
"Please bring in the angels!"
Before Du Fuwei had finished tidying up his clothes, he heard a burst of noise and a chamberlain holding an edict in his hand rushed in from the door with a group of guards.
Du Fuwei looked up and found that the chamberlain was the one who came last time when the saint gave him gold. But the strange thing was that there was a Taoist priest in white standing behind the chamberlain.
What are the Taoist priests doing here?
Although he was confused, Du Fuwei still greeted the waiter with a smile, and took the initiative to reach out and grab the other person's hand.
"Zhang Huangmen, long time no see!"
When he grabbed the opponent's hand, Du Fuwei moved his palm slightly, activated the Qiankun technique in his sleeves, and quietly stuffed a golden leaf into the opponent's hand.
"Your Highness King Wu, long time no see!"
The waiter named Zhang gently squeezed his hand, the smile on his face became brighter, and then he took the initiative to explain.
"Your Highness, this time the saint brought the old slave to King Wu's house because he wanted King Wu to cooperate with this Qingwei master."
As he spoke, Waiter Zhang turned sideways, revealing the white-robed Taoist priest behind him.
Then, Du Fuwei saw that the Taoist priest in white had taken a step forward and bowed to him.
"I am a poor and pure man, I have met His Highness the King of Wu!"
Although it was not clear who this so-called Qingwei Zhenren was, since he came with the angel, Du Fuwei did not dare to neglect him and returned the favor.
"Du Fuwei has met the real Qingwei!"
The eunuch named Zhang on the side watched Kong Qing and Du Fuwei greet each other with a smile, and then raised the edict in his hand.
"Your Highness King Wu, the sage has an edict!"
After Du Fuwei bowed in front of the edict, Chamberlain Zhang directly handed him the edict in his hand.
"The sage said there is no need to read it out. Your Highness, King Wu, just read it yourself!"
"Thank you saint!"
Du Fuwei respectfully reached out and took the edict from the other party, opened it and read it again.
After reading it, he understood why the saint said that there was no need to read it out and let him read it by himself. Because the edict was not written in that kind of official Chinese, but was written in the handwriting of His Majesty Li Yuan himself, asking him to read it in the name of King Wu and Jiang Huai.
He issued an order in the name of the Lord, appointing the Taoist priest Qingwei as Jianghuai Ambassador, with full authority to exercise the power of life and death on his behalf.
What's happening here?
Since he has returned to the Tang Dynasty, it is natural that Li Tang has the final say on how to deal with the Jianghuai land. It is completely unnecessary for him to issue orders in the name of the Lord of the Jianghuai River.
Du Fuwei's eyes rolled.
Could it be that Li Tang planned to use this method to deceive himself, and after he wrote the order, they would then say that he intended to rebel?
Just when Du Fuwei was puzzled, he saw the Taoist priest Qing Weizi in white step forward and said in a low voice.
"The King of Wu must be very surprised by the meaning of the sage's order. The poor man didn't hide it from the King of Wu either..."
As he spoke, the Taoist priest in white stretched out his hand and pointed toward the south.
"Two months ago, Fugong Er led Zuo Youxian to kill Wang Xiongdan, and now he has raised his troops in Danyang to rebel again!"
"What?"
After hearing the words of the Taoist priest in white, Du Fuwei was instantly confused.
Fu Gonger killed Wang Xiongdan...
It's impossible. Fu Gong'er didn't even have any soldiers, how could he kill Wang Xiongdan? You have to know why he gave the command of Jianghuai Army to Wang Xiongdan when he came to Chang'an, just to let him guard against Fu Gongdan.
Gong'er's.
What did Wang Xiongdan do?
He can be killed even if he holds a soldier in his hand...
The next moment, Du Fuwei remembered another, more terrible thing.
The Jianghuai Army has rebelled now, so as the leader of the Jianghuai Army is alone in Chang'an... will Li Tang use it as a sacrificial flag?
Is Nima Fu Gong'er planning to trick him to death?
We are sworn brothers, dear relatives and friends...
Kong Qing, a Taoist priest in white clothes on the side, looked at the uncertain expression on Du Fuwei's face, raised his eyebrows, and said in a low voice as if he had read through his thoughts.
"Although King Wu and Fugong are sworn brothers, as the saying goes, it's hard to draw a tiger's skin but not its heart. Besides, Fugong has a bad friend beside him, so it's not enough to do such a thing.
strange."
"bad friend……"
Du Fuwei asked doubtfully.
"who?"
Kong Qing shook the whisk in his hand and said calmly.
"Laojun Guan, Zuo Youxian!"
"What?"
Du Fuwei felt a little confused again.
"I also know Zuo You Xiangu. It seems that he is a true Taoist with a profound moral integrity!"
"Zuo Youxian is a righteous man... Haha!"
Kong Qing couldn't help laughing, and while laughing, he lit Du Fuwei with the whisk in his hand.
"His Royal Highness King Wu, you started out in the wilderness, relied on your bravery, and finally became the master of a party. It is indeed remarkable. But the bravery comes from the bravery, but the way you look at people is really...blind!"
With that said, Kong Qing stretched out his hand and gestured to Du Fuwei.
"Your sworn brother Fu Gonger rebelled when you came to Chang'an as a hostage and wanted to trap you to death; Wang Xiongdan, who you thought was talented in both civil and military affairs, was enough to support Jianghuai after you left, was easily killed by Zuo Youxian.
After hearing this rumor, he voluntarily gave up his military power and died; you think that Li Zitong, who sincerely submitted to you, actually joined your army just to poach your corner; you think that Zuo Youxian, who is a righteous man, even encouraged Fugong E to betray,
The culprit who stabbed you in the back..."
Having said this, Kong Qing looked at Du Fuwei with a smile.
"King Wu, it is really a wise idea for you to return to the Tang Dynasty. With your blind eyes, you have basically said goodbye to the road to world hegemony."
After hearing what Kong Qing said, Du Fuwei's face turned red with anger, but he couldn't say a word to refute.
"Master Qingwei, please stop talking..."
At this time, Waiter Zhang stood up decisively and tried to smooth things over.
"Isn't it a great thing for His Highness King Wu to return to the Tang Dynasty? Looking at His Highness's free and easy life now, this old slave is very envious."
With that said, Waiter Zhang quietly pulled Du Fuwei's sleeve, then leaned over and whispered.
"His Royal Highness King Wu, this Qingwei Zhenren is very powerful in Taoism. He is a famous Taoist in Chang'an. He can cut through the iron mouth, slay demons and subjugate demons. He is a first-rate figure. And the most important thing is that he has a close relationship with Princess Pingyang.
He is deeply loved by saints, so... King Wu, you understand!"
After hearing what Waiter Zhang said, Du Fuwei suddenly understood.
He had indeed vaguely heard that Princess Li Xiuning of Pingyang had met a Taoist priest, but he didn't know who it was. It turned out to be the handsome little Taoist priest today.
The so-called facial expression means that the person is good-looking, and the facial expression means that the hair is black and shiny... From this point of view, this little Taoist priest is really qualified to be the facial expression.
"Master Qingwei..."
After knowing the identity of the other party, Du Fuwei immediately suppressed the anger in his heart and bowed his hand politely to Kong Qing.
"Since Fu Gong'er has rebelled and killed Xiong Dan, it means that he has seized the military power. At this time, even if you, the real person, have this order, I am afraid that he will not be able to command the Jianghuai army, so you, the real person, have to do this alone.
What's the use of an order?"
"This question involves the changes in dragon energy..."
Kong Qing shook his head and continued.
"Although Fu Gong'er has now taken control of the Jianghuai Army, your prestige and power in Jianghuai, King Wu, are impossible for Fu Gong'er to eliminate in a short time. Therefore, even if Fu Gong'er now plans to proclaim himself emperor, Wu
The king, you also have the right to control the dragon energy in the Jianghuai land..."
With that said, Kong Qing stretched out his hand and pointed towards the south.
"Now Fugong Er and Zuo Youxian have colluded with Taihu Shuijun and other gods. In order to eliminate them, Pindao has reached a deal with other gods and borrowed their Yin soldiers to fight a war. But the land of Jianghuai is not
Under my rule in the Tang Dynasty, the Yin soldiers of other gods will be suppressed by Jianghuai's dragon energy, so I need to borrow the power of King Wu to fight against Jianghuai's dragon energy..."
"Oh I got it……"
Before the Taoist priest in white finished speaking, Du Fuwei had already understood. He waved his hand and said decisively.
"Since Gu has returned to the Tang Dynasty, I will naturally not disobey the saint's orders. I will now appoint you as the ambassador of Jianghuai, with full authority to act on behalf of Gu in Jianghuai!"
Seeing Du Fuwei's straightforward performance, the corners of the white-robed Taoist priest's mouth raised slightly.
Du Fuwei is truly a reckless person. Apart from his ability to look at people, his decision-making and judgment really don't have any big problems.
"Since the King of Wu is so happy, Pindao is also here to give a message to the King of Wu..."
The Taoist priest in white shook the whisk in his hand and said to Du Fuwei.
"The King of Wu might as well go to the palace to see the saint, draw a clear line with Fugong E, and write a letter in front of the saint to contact the old troops in the Jianghuai Army, asking them to bring order to the chaos, so as to avoid any unforeseen things happening. After all...
"
The Taoist priest in white lowered his head and spoke in a voice that only two people could hear.
"As far as Pindao knows, the name of Fu Gong'er's rebellion is that you sent him a secret letter, King Wu, telling him to raise an army to avenge you! Think about it, if Fu Gong'er is arrested in the future, what letter will you find?
If you give him a secret message to rebel..."
"What, he also forged Gu's secret letter?"
After hearing the words of the Taoist priest in white, Du Fuwei's face turned red again, with emotions on his face.
