Zhuge Zheng and I were sitting at the desk, frowning.
After a long time, he looked up at the candlestick next to him. The dancing candlelight dispersed the darkness around him, but left him with an inexplicable coldness that enveloped him.
He stood up, gathered up his brocade robe, stood in front of the window, and looked through the window paper at the boundless darkness outside the house.
suddenly.
The look on his face changed.
Then there was a creak and the door was pushed open.
That round face and honest smile appeared in front of him again.
"Have you thought of a way?"
Cao Zhengchun walked into the room, sat at the table, and asked with a smile.
Zhuge Zheng and I turned to look at him and were silent for a long time.
"This matter is extremely dangerous. Once exposed, His Highness must not be implicated!"
Cao Zhengchun looked straight and said, "Don't worry, our family knows what's going on."
Zhuge Zhenggao looked at him straightly and said: "I will not implicate Your Highness even if I die!"
"What? You don't trust our family." Cao Zhengchun showed that naive smile again.
"Yeah!" Zhuge Zhengwo nodded without hiding anything.
"But His Highness trusts our family." Cao Zhengchun looked at him.
The two people's eyes met. Zhuge Zhengga took a deep breath before saying: "There is an old man in the Emperor's Mausoleum in Beishan."
"Our family wants to enter the imperial city, not the imperial mausoleum!" Cao Zhengchun said dissatisfied.
"That old man has guarded the late emperor's tomb for more than forty years. He has never gone out and rarely interacts with people. Moreover, his body shape and appearance are very similar to yours," Zhuge Zhengwo said.
"So?" Cao Zhengchun asked.
Zhuge Zhengwo hesitated for a moment and said, "When you replace him, I will arrange for people to steal the emperor's tomb."
Cao Zhengchun narrowed his eyes and then chuckled.
He understood what Zhuge Zhengwo was thinking.
There may be many hidden dangers in letting him enter the Imperial City directly. After all, it is difficult to solve the problem of his identity and origin.
But if you replace the old father-in-law, his identity will not be a problem.
Identity and origin are not problems, then entering the imperial city will be much simpler.
As long as he shows his innate cultivation, his presence will naturally not be ignored in the imperial city.
At that time, he will definitely be recruited directly into the imperial city. After all, it is too wasteful to let an innate warrior guard the imperial mausoleum.
"The person who stole the imperial tomb?"
"Just kill it!"
"No further trouble?"
"I will try my best not to leave any future troubles!" Zhuge Zhengwo said in a deep voice.
"If I replace that old father-in-law, will anyone recognize me?" Cao Zhengchun continued to ask.
Zhuge Zhengwo said in a deep voice: "No, he was a close servant of the late emperor. When the late emperor passed away, he was just a young eunuch. There should be no one familiar with him in the imperial city."
"But just in case, try not to mention the past."
Cao Zhengchun nodded, "We understand!"
Zhuge Zhengwo pointed to a stack of papers on the desk and said, "This is the old man's information. You can take a look at it."
"No problem!" Cao Zhengchun picked up the book and glanced at it casually.
The above content is not detailed. After all, the old father-in-law has been living in seclusion in the imperial mausoleum for more than forty years, and even the Imperial City Department cannot find out many things.
"Farewell!"
Afterwards, Cao Zhengchun planned to leave.
"Everything must be done with caution, and your Highness must not be implicated!" Zhuge Zhengyi warned again.
Placing an innate warrior next to Emperor Li, if this matter were exposed, it would definitely be a loss of head.
Even if Qin Wei is the king of the county, he can't hold it back.
Zhuge Zhengwo doesn't care about Cao Zhengchun's life or death, but he must not let this matter involve Qin Wei.
Cao Zhengchun glanced at him, still with a simple and honest smile on his face.
He didn't say much, turned around and walked out of the room, disappearing under the dim night.
…
Inside Tianzhou City.
Qin Wei returned to Qingsi Garden in a carriage.
The weather was getting colder and colder, and a thick layer of ice formed on the pond in Qingsi Garden. Even with Qin Wei's innate cultivation, he still couldn't protect himself from the cold and heat. After returning to Qingsi Garden, he hid in
On the soft floor of the study room.
"Your Highness! Mr. Li Xun came to Tianzhou City yesterday!"
Wang An came to report.
Qin Wei raised his eyebrows slightly, "Where are the others?"
"I left yesterday!" Wang An replied.
Qin Wei was a little surprised, "What is this old man doing in Tianzhou City?"
"Master Li Xun only met with Ye Gucheng once! He didn't do anything else, but when he left, he went northwest and did not return directly to Kyoto." Wang Andao.
Qin Wei pinched his chin and began to think deeply.
Li Xun and Ye Gucheng met!
That must be to invite Ye Gucheng to Qingfu Mountain.
"It's true that this old man didn't even see me when he came to Tianzhou City!"
Qin Wei complained.
"You go down first!"
Even after everyone left, he couldn't bring them back.
As for Ye Gucheng's side, he didn't intend to care. He believed that Ye Gucheng would go to Qingfu Mountain according to his ideas.
…
The destruction of Wanfu Temple caused quite a commotion in Tianzhou.
Although many sects had guessed that Zhenwusi was going to target Wanfu Temple, they were still shocked when it happened.
Shocked and uneasy at the same time.
Perhaps because of the cold lips and teeth, many sects were afraid of Zhenwu Si but maintained a defensive attitude.
I'm afraid that Zhenwu Division's next target will be them.
This is true even for several sects such as Tianshi Mansion, Lishan Sword Sect, and Luoxia Sect that have obtained the official position of Zhenwu Division.
But their worries were obviously unfounded.
Now that things have happened, the Zhenwu Division has achieved great success in Tianzhou, and there is no need to target a certain sect or force.
A new day.
Qin Wei came to the door of Yunyan Pavilion again.
With the destruction of Wanfu Temple, Yunyan Pavilion became ownerless, and it was only natural for the Zhenwu Division to take it as its own.
Looking at the solemn and exquisite Yunyan Pavilion, the corners of Qin Wei's mouth curled up slightly.
"Let someone replace that plaque. From now on, this will be the Yamen of Zhenwu Division."
"Here!" the iron hand next to him responded.
Then the group of people entered Yunyan Pavilion.
The entire Yunyan Pavilion has five entrances and five exits, including the main hall, the second hall, the third hall, more than a hundred wing rooms, and four pavilions standing around the main hall and the second hall.
There are many Buddha statues and Buddhist utensils inside, as well as a lot of red and pink rouge.
Qin Wei walked around the Yunyan Pavilion. Generally speaking, he was quite satisfied. He only needed to throw away the messy decorations and it could be used as the yamen of the Zhenwu Division.
"We will live here from now on!" Qin Wei told Xiao Shunzi.
Although Qin Wei can still continue to live in Qingsi Garden, Qin Wei still likes to live in his own territory.
Xiao Shunzi responded and immediately arranged for someone to go to the backyard to clean it up.
Sitting on the towering pavilion, overlooking most of Tianzhou City, Qin Wei was thoughtful.
"How are you preparing for the next step?"
Li Ru sat at the tea table, brewing tea and said, "It's almost ready."
Qin Wei raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said with a smile: "Then let's get started!"
The third step of the plan formulated by Li Ru is "Blooming on the Tree".
This tree originally has no flowers, but the tree can have flowers. Cut the ribbon and glue it on so that it is difficult for those who are not careful to notice it. The flowers and the tree complement each other to form an exquisite overall situation.
To put it simply, it means that after using a weak force to change the external form by relying on certain factors, the lineup appears to be full and powerful, just like the swan geese growing full-feathered wings.
This weak force is the Zhenwu Division.
No matter how powerful the Zhenwu Division is in Tianzhou now, in terms of force, the Zhenwu Division is far inferior to the overall strength of those sect forces.
Now Qin Wei is surrounded by two innate warriors, Mo Yan and Yuwen Chengdu, and he himself is one.
Each of the three top sects has one, so in terms of the number of innate warriors, both sides are considered to be the same.
But under Xiantian, the number of ninth-grade warriors, even in ten Zhenwu Divisions, cannot compare with those of those sects.
If the Tianzhou sects could unite, they could easily crush the Zhenwu Division.
Of course, they cannot unite and crush the Suppression Division.
But if Zhenwusi wants to make them obedient, they have to use some tricks.
Li Ru's plan of "Blooming on the Tree" is actually very simple, which is to let the Zhenwu Division absorb the disciples of the Tianzhou Sect.
They were given official positions before, but now they want to recruit their disciples into the Zhenwu Division to strengthen the Zhenwu Division and make the Zhenwu Division appear to be extremely powerful, and then use this to intimidate the sect forces in Tianzhou, and even deter other people.
The state’s martial arts forces.
This time the Zhenwu Division will establish eight Zhenwu Divisions, which means it will recruit 8,000 sect warriors.
Based on the three thousand households of the original Zhenwu Division, eight thousand sect warriors were recruited and reorganized, thus establishing eleven thousand households.
Then gradually transform the sect warriors into soldiers of the Zhenwu Division.
This is somewhat like a snake swallowing an elephant, but this is not the end.
After the Tianzhou Zhenwu Division is established, Qin Wei will also establish Zhenwu Divisions in the other twelve states. Whether it is to recruit military lieutenants or recruit warriors, in the end, the Zhenwu Division's yamen will be spread across the thirteen states of Dali.
Perhaps each state's Suppression Division will appear a little chaotic at first, but as long as the situation can be maintained, the Suppression Division will become more and more powerful as time goes by.
"By the way, don't forget to report to your Majesty to ask for someone," Qin Wei said.
"The official has already written the memorial and will have it sent to Kyoto tomorrow," Li Ru said.
Qin Wei had previously awarded half of the high-level official positions in the Zhenwu Division to the seven major sects, and the remaining half needed to be arranged by Emperor Li.
It's not that Qin Wei doesn't want to make arrangements on his own, it's that he has no one available to him.
But it doesn't matter, anyway, he doesn't plan to return to Beijing for the time being, and will continue to stay in Tianzhou. When the people arranged by Emperor Li arrive, if he feels it is not suitable, he can just go back.
"There is one more thing!" Qin Wei frowned slightly.
Li Ru looked up at him, "What's the matter?"
"Qiyuan Sect!" Qin Wei said with a headache.
Qiyuan Sect, the hermit holy land!
This is the most powerful existence in Tianzhou.
Before leaving Beijing, Emperor Li gave him a letter and asked him to deliver it to Qi Yuan Sect.
But he hasn't gone yet.
Qi Yuan Sect is not the Tianshi Mansion.
Tianshi Mansion is afraid of Emperor Li, but Qi Yuan Sect is not afraid.
The reason why the Holy Land can be called Holy Land is because their strength is enough to make the court fearful.
Qin Wei didn't know what the relationship between Emperor Li and Qi Yuan Sect was, and he wasn't sure he could handle Qi Yuan Sect, so he hadn't gone to Qi Yuan Sect until now.
Li Ru also fell into deep thought.
The Imperial City Division is not very clear about the situation of the holy places, especially the two secluded holy places of Qi Yuan Sect and Shangyuan Sect. The Imperial City Division can provide very little information.
Without enough information, it is impossible to make accurate judgments.
Even if Li Ru was resourceful, it would be difficult for him to come up with a strategy to deal with the Qi Yuan Sect.
But he still has some ideas.
"Your Highness, maybe we should contact the Qiyuan Sect."
"Why?" Qin Wei looked at him in surprise.
"Because Qi Yuan Sect and Shangyuan Sect hate each other!" Li Ru said.
Qin Weimo rubbed the down on his chin and said, "Are you trying to stir up trouble?"
Li Ru shook his head and said: "It's useless to stir up trouble, they won't really fight."
"That's true!" Qin Wei nodded.
Although Qi Yuan Sect and Shangyuan Sect have enmity, they are allies in the overall situation.
Facing the court, they must unite together, even the six holy places belong to the same camp.
It's just that the same camp is divided into different factions. For example, Nanmu City and Beiyuan City belong to the factions that are close to the court, while the Qiyuan Sect and Shangyuan Sect are impartial factions, and the remaining two overseas
The Holy Land belongs to a faction hostile to the court.
The camps are the same, but the factions are different, so the styles of behavior are also somewhat different.
But no matter what, they will not fight among themselves, and even Nanmu City and Beiyuan City will not help the court deal with other holy places.
"You can use the Shang Yuan Sect to win over the Qi Yuan Sect." Li Ru said.
"I am afraid that the Qi Yuan Sect will not know what is good or bad!" Qin Wei said depressedly.
"Whether you are being ungrateful or not, you will know after you try it!" Li Ru said with a smile.
Qin Wei thought for a while and said with a smile: "Yes, I have to try it after all."
He still decided to go to the Qi Yuan Sect. After all, Emperor Li had asked him to deliver the letter. As for whether the Qi Yuan Sect would affect the Zhenwu Division, he didn't think it would.
If the Qi Yuan Sect had taken action from the beginning, it would have been difficult for the Zhenwu Division to gain a foothold in Tianzhou.
But now even if Qi Yuan Sect takes action, it cannot change the situation of Tianzhou Martial Arts.
