The ancestral temple, lined with oil lamps, is brightly lit, and the spiritual tablets on the altars give the temple a gloomy feel.
The fire flickered, Emperor Yan Shang Jianxiong stood in front of the tablets of the ancestors of the Shang family, staring, his expression revealed a majestic look, his eyes were complicated, and he was praying to his ancestors in his heart.
After the news of the battle between Yan and Zhao came, he was surprised. He did not expect that Zhao could be defeated so quickly. After all, there were still millions of troops. In the end, Zhao was strangled by the neck in just one battle. Zhao was about to be destroyed.
The State of Yan actually forced the State of Zhao into a desperate situation and was about to destroy the country!
A year or two ago, he would have never dared to imagine this situation. At that time, it was the precarious situation of Yan State that made him sleepless and uneasy.
Although presiding over the battle to destroy Zhao has nothing to do with him, he is the emperor of Yan State after all. It was under his rule that Yan State once again created great achievements. He is here today to tell his ancestors about this.
In short, in one sentence, Yan State destroyed Zhao State in his hands!
Tian Yu, the general manager of the palace, walked into the palace, walked to his side softly, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's late at night, please rest."
Shang Jianxiong, who was staring at the tablet, didn't answer the question, and suddenly said, "Tian Yu, for opening up the territory, what Tai Shuxiong has always wanted to do but failed to do, I have done it!"
Judging from the meaning of these words, it seems that he is stronger than Tai Shuxiong!
Even though he is a close servant, Tian Yu couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he heard this. When he found out that this person really dared to speak, he couldn't help but have a thought in his mind. Did the destruction of Zhao have anything to do with you?
He even dared to guarantee that as long as there was a chance to curb the rise of the Shang Chaozong, this man would rather give up the victory of destroying Zhao than to hinder the Shang Chaozong.
However, he also deeply understood that at this difficult time, His Majesty was in great need of self-affirmation.
Moreover, the situation has changed very quickly. The aftermath of Niu Youdao forcing Tong Mo to death has not yet passed. The growing power of the business faction has made it difficult for the people here to breathe. The emperor dared to be angry but dared not speak out. He was holding his breath because he was cowardly. Suddenly,
, the situation changed instantly!
The Shang Dynasty clan actually gathered an army and openly fought with the three major sects. When the news came, the people here were really overjoyed.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that if something like this happens, how can the three major factions allow the Shang Chaozong to continue to be arrogant? It is conceivable what will happen after the war.
Nothing was done here, and the situation suddenly turned around. This was something no one expected.
…
The Tai Shuxiong mentioned by Shang Jianxiong was currently on the pavilion, dancing with his sword under the stars at night, with his sword spirit in high spirits.
The news of the battle between Yan and Zhao, was Zhao State about to fall? This incident inexplicably made him excited, because the facts proved that the situation that the countries had been in stalemate for many years was not irreversible, and instantly ignited the blood in his heart, eager and looking forward to,
Dance with the sword to add to the fun and show your pride!
"Your Majesty, the head of the clan is here." Tao Lue, the general manager of the palace, suddenly came to report, regardless of disturbing the emperor's elegance.
Hearing that the head of the Qiyun Sect, Taishu Feihua Fajia, was coming in person, Taishuxiong immediately lost interest and rushed to greet him without any delay.
Before he could get down, a figure flashed up and landed on the pavilion. It was Taishu Feihua.
Tai Shuxiong immediately greeted him with his sword and fists in hand, "Uncle!"
Tao Lue also bent down.
Taishu Feihua hummed, glanced at the sword in his hand, and said lightly: "Cultivating? Ah Xiong, no one can be proficient in everything. You only need to concentrate on the state affairs of Jin.
Of course, someone will take care of it."
Taishu Xiong smiled bitterly in his heart, knowing that the other party had misunderstood, but he still agreed obediently, threw the sword to Tao Lue, and asked: "Uncle is here at this time, but what's the important matter?"
"It's not about anything important." Taishu Feihua asked him, "I heard that the three major factions of Zhao State have concentrated almost all their efforts to defend against the enemy. Now the defense of Zhao Jing's palace is empty?"
Taishu Xiong wondered why he was asking about this, and he replied smoothly: "According to the information from Blackwater Tower, it should be like this. However, it is hard to say that it is completely empty. There are still some monks who are on guard. Uncle
Asking this in person, do you have any plans for the Zhao Kingdom Palace?"
Taishu Feihua was noncommittal: "Ah Xiong, in order to prepare you for war, the sect is very nervous. You know this."
Tai Shuxiong said hurriedly: "I am incompetent."
Taishu Feihua: "Don't be fooled by these useless things. What your uncles mean is that the Zhao Kingdom Palace is a good opportunity to make a move at this time. If nothing else, as long as you get the Zhao Kingdom's artifact, you can
Sold for a good price.”
Tai Shuxiong was surprised and asked: "Does the uncle want to rob the Zhao palace?"
Taishu Feihua: "You have to take action as early as possible. If it is too late, someone else might get in first. You don't need to take care of this matter. The sect will handle it on its own. There is your Heishuitai network in the capital of Zhao State.
What you have to do is to use that net to find out the preliminary situation of the sect’s actions. After all, no one from the sect has ever entered the Zhao Kingdom Palace.”
Tai Shuxiong hesitated and said: "Uncle, I'm afraid Heishuitai can't understand the situation in the Zhao Kingdom's palace clearly and thoroughly. Just like this palace, even I dare not say that I know everything about the situation in the palace."
.Also, just because the three major factions of the Zhao Kingdom have mobilized a large amount of power, the security in the Zhao Kingdom's palace will only become more cautious. I am afraid that hiding and the like are unavoidable, but I am afraid that nothing may be plundered."
Taishu Feihua: "You only need to let the Blackwater Tower locate Hai Wuji. As long as you can find Hai Wuji, there is no reason why the three major sects of the Song Dynasty can not do it."
…
Under the eaves of the house, Hao Yuntu looked up at the stars with his hands behind his hands, occasionally sighing and sighing.
The queen came up with her robe in hand, put it on his body with her own hands, and tried to ask, "What makes your majesty feel so sad?"
Hao Yuntu sighed: "I'm afraid the Kingdom of Zhao is going to be doomed."
The queen asked in confusion: "After Xiaoyue Pavilion raised its troops, wasn't it expected that the Zhao Kingdom would be destroyed?"
Hao Yuntu shook his head, "You don't understand. Since the destruction of Qin, the seven kingdoms have been in stalemate for three hundred years. Once Zhao fell, the situation that had not changed for three hundred years was shaken up, which meant that the pattern of big interests
There's been a change, and that's not a good sign."
The queen asked: "Does it mean that your Majesty does not want Zhao to perish?"
Hao Yuntu raised his hand and caressed her cheek with the back of his fingers, "This Zhao country is like a beauty. If you can't get it yourself, you don't want to watch others take it. If you want to sleep, it's best if you sleep on your own."
"How can there be such a metaphor?" The queen spat slightly, and of course she understood what the emperor meant. Naturally, what Qi couldn't get, she didn't want others to get.
However, she enjoyed him doing this to her, and grabbed his hand, as if she wanted to share the worries, "Since Your Majesty doesn't want the Kingdom of Zhao to perish, isn't there any way to help the Kingdom of Zhao?"
Haoyuntu: "The Yan State has obtained a favorable offensive environment and has no worries. It is useless to persuade anyone. It is reluctant to give up the fat piece of Zhao State. Anyway, there is Xiaoyue Pavilion in the west blocking Qi State and Wei State. Xiaoyue Pavilion is also
I don't know if I took the wrong medicine. I didn't care about the threats from Qi and Wei, but I was determined to bring down Zhao. The most important thing is... no one expected that Zhao would be defeated so quickly. Even if some people think about it now
There is nothing we can do to help the Zhao State, and the Zhao army will not be able to wait until reinforcements arrive."
"Unless Piao Miao Pavilion takes action, this is almost impossible. Or other countries join forces and gather the top monks from all countries to rush there urgently. There may be a glimmer of hope. However, South Korea and Song Dynasty are too busy to take care of themselves and will not take action. Qi Guohe
Wei Guo wanted to help, but the chaos among the countries was like this. The Jin State was like a wolf that smelled the smell of blood, and it was afraid that Wei would be pulled together so that they could pounce from behind and bite them.
Chance."
"What's more, the prerequisite for Qi and Wei to help each other is that Zhao has the ability to resist the enemy. Do they still have the ability to resist now? The road is long. Even if Qi sends troops, water from far away cannot save the fire close by. Only relying on
Even if Qi and Wei send some masters, they will not be able to change the entire war situation."
…
Tianwei Mansion, in front of flowers and under the moon, Xuanwei and Ximen Qingkong are wandering side by side.
Looking at her hazy profile in the moonlight, Ximen Qingkong wanted to hold her in his arms and have her.
But Xuanwei was worried about the consequences of the fall of Zhao.
The two of them adhered to the bottom line and did not dare to overstep it.
But there were people in the palace who were extremely happy and enjoying themselves.
Inside the gauze tent, Concubine Chang Guifei and Lord Wei Xuan Chengtian were rubbing their temples and whispering together while the clouds and rain had subsided, and the wind blew by their pillows.
After a while, Xuan Chengtian sighed, "Look, Sister Huang has let go of some things recently. Sister Huang is really not the kind of person you think. She even wants to urge me to get familiar with it as soon as possible. There are too many things to say.
I’m so tired.”
Concubine Chang lay on his chest and complained, "I am also thinking about Your Majesty, but now I am stirring up trouble. Huh, if I hadn't heard some news, I wouldn't have bothered to say these annoying words."
Xuan Chengtian was happy, and he touched her nose with his fingertips, "You stay in the deep palace, what news can you hear, and what news can I not know?"
Chang Guifei said coquettishly: "There are some things that I dare not say, for fear of making His Majesty angry."
Xuan Chengtian became more and more interested, "Say, no matter what you said wrong, I will forgive you."
Concubine Chang drew circles on his chest with her fingertips, "No matter how magnanimous Your Majesty is, I would not dare to say so."
Xuan Chengtian raised his hand and slapped her on the lower back, "I order you to tell me, are you trying to resist the order?"
Chang Guifei looked like she had to obey, and finally whispered in his ear: "I heard that the emperor's sister and that Ximen Qingkong have been in love with each other for a long time..."
After hearing this, Xuan Chengtian chuckled, "What kind of secret do you think it is? Who doesn't know about the emperor's sister and that man? How can you tell me about it?"
"Isn't your Majesty not worried at all?"
"There's nothing to worry about. We can't let the imperial sister stay a widow all her life, right? It's a good thing to meet the person you like, just like I do to you, my beloved concubine."
"Your Majesty, this matter is really different. I am just a concubine, but the emperor's sister is the female minister who holds the military and political power of the country. After the emperor's sister and Ximen Qingkong get together, what if they have a child? The power
In the hands of the imperial sister, who can guarantee that the imperial sister will not hand over the power of defending the country to her children in the future? Is the imperial sister willing to see her children bowing to others?"
"This... you are overthinking it. Sister Huang is gradually returning her power to me."
"Are you really giving back your rights?"
"Can it still be false?"
"I have a way to easily test whether it is true or not. Just like what your Majesty said, after taking over, I felt that there were too many things to do and I was tired! But the real power should not just work, but to control the people who work below. I don't know what I mean.
Is that right?"
"Roughly the same."
"Your Majesty is doing the work, but who are the people who are doing the work? They are all people promoted by the Imperial Sister. Your Majesty wants to know whether the Imperial Sister is really willing to hand over power. You might as well use the greatest power in the Imperial Sister's hands, the military power.
!Your Majesty can pretend to relieve Taiwei Nan Renyu from military power to test the emperor's reaction. If the emperor does not object, then I am talking too much. If you strongly object, I will not dare to say more about what the emperor is thinking."
