The matter was indeed done by the lower palace, and the result was not unexpected by the officials in the upper palace.
Someone asked: "Who specifically did it? And how was it done?"
Lan Si discussed: "From the newspaper, it seems that someone took a protective star thunder given by the palace with his own body, sneaked into the pier under the pretext of pretending to send a message, and finally sacrificed his life to trigger the thunder, causing
The pier exploded, and the specific identity of that person is still being verified, but it has nothing to do with the Tao of the World, and it is definitely an instruction from the upper palace."
Some people in the discussion couldn't help but snorted.
Every person who goes to Tianxia, monk Yuanxia, carries these star thunders with them. They were originally used to deal with Tianxia. They are very powerful and it is not difficult to explode stars. They were originally used to bring Tianxia to cause trouble.
To give a deterrent or a lesson, they never expected that it would be used on themselves first.
One of the councilors said displeasedly: "How come this pier is guarded? Don't we do any screening? How can it be sneaked into Taichung by unrelated people?"
Lan Si discussed: "This is originally to show my ambition in the palace. I originally thought that everyone could benefit, but I didn't expect that this person really didn't care about the overall situation. And looking at the way this person sneaked into the pier,
The whole process can be said to have been carefully planned, and it was only through careful calculation that we succeeded."
At this time, another council member said coldly: "Could this matter have anything to do with Tianxia?"
Lan Siyi shook his head and said: "At present, it can be concluded that this matter has nothing to do with Tianxia, because according to the contract, the pier and the platform are completely entrusted to us, and Tianxia is not allowed to interfere, but I didn't expect that something like this would happen.
thing."
He looked at everyone and said: "The problem now is how to save the matter? Zhang Zhengshi was very critical of this, and said that everything went well originally. He also promoted the power of Yuanxia to Tianxia internally, and had already won the
Some people, because of this time, have made many people hesitant, which has led to the failure of many smooth things to proceed..."
Someone in the audience loudly shouted: "Your Majesty must give an explanation for this matter!"
All the councilors approved this statement.
There is a fight between going up and down the hall, and there should be a bottom line. The upper hall is the leader. If the attitude of the upper hall is not clear, let it go. Once it is clear, it can no longer interfere.
For example, when they attacked the Tianxia envoys before, the upper palace allowed the lower palace to do whatever they wanted, but after a firm decision was made, they were no longer allowed to act on their own.
The old Taoist in the main hall told Si Yi standing on one side: "Gu Si Yi, please send someone to inquire about this matter."
Gu Siyi bowed and flew out of the palace with his avatar. After waiting for a while, the avatar returned from outside. He said: "I have already asked clearly."
The old Taoist said: "What do you say, Your Majesty?"
Gu Siyi said: "Your Majesty's Siyi said that they had no knowledge of this matter. This was done privately by the people below. They will definitely investigate it thoroughly." These words immediately made several Siyi in the palace feel angry.
Unhappy, this was obviously a shirk, but Gu Siyi continued: "Your Majesty also asked us a question at the same time."
The old Taoist said: "What do you ask?"
Gu Siyi said: "They asked, the last time the lower palace sent an urgent letter from Tianxia to the territory, it disappeared when it arrived in the territory. I wonder if the upper palace knows about it? If not, can you help to find out?"
The councilors looked at each other, and they knew the meaning of these words. The lower palace did this because the upper palace intercepted their urgent letter first. Although everyone was still dissatisfied, they finally agreed.
It's time to find a reason.
The old Taoist asked: "Intercepting the letter? When did this happen?"
At this time, Tan Siyi said to the top: "I blocked the calligraphy." Zhu Siyi looked over and continued: "It was not long after Tianxia's envoy returned that this letter suddenly
When it comes, both the timing and the intention are very suspicious."
The old Taoist asked: "What is written on the talisman?"
Tan Siyi said sternly: "There is nothing written on it. I have reason to suspect that this is a trap set up by your Highness, just to destroy the pier and the platform later!"
Wan Daoren asked: "So is it true that intercepting the golden talisman is true?"
Tan Siyi was silent for a moment and said: "Yes."
Lan Siyi glanced at him. This matter is not about whether the golden talisman has any content. The key is that even if it was a pit laid by the lower palace, you jumped into it yourself first.
Wan Daoren said: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Tan Siyi did not answer. This was not the first time that he had done this. As Siyi, would he have to report to everyone if he intercepted the Talisman Book from the Lower Hall?
The old Taoist man in the middle said: "Gu Siyi, please ask your Highness to give a clear explanation. Let this be the case."
Gu Siyi said hello.
He knew that he could not delve too deeply into this matter, because even if he persisted in this matter, you would not be able to do anything about it even if you hand over a few people to him. If you push him too hard, your palace would cause more trouble for them.
In the final analysis, they gave His Highness an excuse to have an attack on this matter in the first place, so this matter will probably be settled in the end.
Lan Si asked, "Do you want to give envoy Zhang Zheng some comfort?"
The old Taoist concluded: "Then we can let Zhang Zhengshi decide what to do. We don't have to strictly follow the regulations. That's it. You can go back."
When the ministers saw what he said, they bowed out and withdrew from the main hall.
Wan Dao people came to the outer room, found Lan Siyi, and asked, "Who is the resident envoy?"
Lan Siyi said: "He is the person recommended by Gu Siyi."
Wan Daoren said with concern: "Get rid of this person as soon as possible and replace him with a reliable person. And ask Zhang Zhengshi to build the pier as soon as possible. I know he is a little dissatisfied, so some things can be slightly compromised, not involving
We can discuss everything fundamental.”
Lan Siyi responded and said: "I understand." The face of going to the palace is the most important. As soon as you promote yourself, your face will be ripped off when you turn around. They have to remedy it first anyway, and other things are not so important.
After Wan Taoist explained, he returned to the main hall. The old Taoist was still standing there. He said: "Master Si has called me back, but do you have anything else to say?"
The division chief said in a deep voice: "There must be a limit on the affairs of the lower palace. They cannot be allowed to continue to be so unscrupulous."
Wan Daoren asked: "How to restrict it?"
The situation in the upper and lower halls has always been like this, and conflicts have always existed. If you want to solve this matter, you can't go through a big fight. At most, it will be a small fight. So what's the point? Over time, you will still return to the original state.
.
The division commander discussed: "I will make suggestions to several senior officers. Before the plan is completed, let them calm down and not go to Tianxia anymore."
Wan Daoren said: "Even if I and the division chief minister's council submit our names to the request, I'm afraid the several chief minister council members may not approve this matter."
The chief ministers of the upper hall all come from all walks of life, but the chief ministers are different. Some come from the lower hall, and some come from the upper hall. On the surface, they act impartially, but can a bowl of water really balance it? He responded to this
Not optimistic at all.
Shi Siyi was silent for a while and then said: "It's okay to let Your Highness calm down for a few days." Expressing your attitude and putting some pressure on Your Highness can always make him settle down for a while.
On the upper floor of Tianxia, Zhang Yu was sitting on the jade couch. He was waiting for a response from Yuanxia. His main purpose this time was to provoke conflicts between the upper and lower palaces.
Even if both sides only limited a part of their strength because of this, it would reduce some of the pressure on Tianxia.
Of course, the excuse he gave Sheng Zheng at that time was that he had gone to the pier. Tianxia would have doubts about Yuanxia internally, and could encourage more people to oppose the merger.
The lower palace will definitely not believe all his words, but the problem is that the lower palace and others are also very willing to destroy the layout of the upper palace. Especially this time, it will greatly damage the upper palace's face. Even if they don't take advantage, they are very willing.
Let's take a look at Yuan Xia's reaction. He has different strategies based on different responses.
Yuan Xia's actions were considered very fast, but after more than ten days, the original envoy disappeared and another one came. After this one arrived in Tianxia, he immediately found the location of Zhang Yu's clone.
, his attitude was also very polite and respectful, and said: "All the ministers in the upper hall, I would like to send my greetings to Zhang Shangzhen."
Zhang Yudao: "Did you, sir, have you brought anything to say?"
The resident envoy said: "The ministers discussed that we hope that Shangzhen can build the pier again, and as soon as possible." After saying that, he quickly explained, "It's not that your Majesty wants to embarrass Zhang Shangzhen, it's just that this matter is very important.
If you have any difficulties, Shangzhen can raise them and we can solve them together. Everything is negotiable."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment, his eyes focused, and he created a talisman book out of thin air, which fell in front of the resident envoy and said: "If these can be done, then I can give it a try."
The resident envoy stretched out his hand to take it, looked at it, and after a while, said: "I will present these to the upper hall for review. Does Zhang Shangzhen have anything else to explain?"
Zhang Yudao: "When something like this happens, the original planning and deployment have been completely disrupted. It is impossible to follow the steps again and the deployment needs to be adjusted again. So don't rush me. I can only do my best."
The resident envoy hurriedly said: "Yes, the Lord can understand Zhang Shangzhen's difficulties. As long as the pier and platform are restored first, we can discuss the other matters separately."
Zhang Yudao: "Your Majesty, you can leave."
The resident envoy bowed and left.
Zhang Yuze's consciousness returned to his true self. He knew in his heart that now he was going to the palace to ask him to do something, so he had to lower his attitude. If he went to the lower chamber, he would not say much and would definitely resort to force. But.
That would inevitably involve delegating power to the lower palace, so the upper palace would rather continue trying with him, even if it means making some compromises.
Even if this arrangement does not create new estrangements and conflicts within Yuanshang Hall, it can buy Tianxia more time, and then he can move to the next step. He said to Taoist Mingzhou on the side: "Fellow Taoist Mingzhou, go and get Chang Xuan
