"Who cares about being such a saint..." Gu Xiaolian shook her head vigorously and said, "I don't want to be like a puppet all day long, being carried around and looked at by others."
"What about the believers?" Wang Xian said softly: "Don't you care either?"
"..." Gu Xiaolian was silent. She didn't care about the identity of the saint, General Song, or Liu Zijin, but she couldn't care about those simple believers. Those were poor people, they were so devout believers.
She looked at her, hoping that she could bless them and regard herself as their life-saving straw. Although she knew that if someone else was the saint, they would be just as pious, but the problem is that this saint of Laoshi is herself now, not someone else.
"Does the official want me to stay in Guangling County?" Gu Xiaolian looked at him pitifully and asked.
"Are you kidding? How can I let you stay in the fire pit?" Wang Xian said softly: "I mean, you can't let go of your identity as a saint. You have to take on this responsibility for the sake of those believers."
"Officer... what do you want me to do..." Gu Xiaolian asked in a trembling voice, her mood obviously changing.
"Don't be afraid, I'll take care of everything, just be obedient," Wang Xian said warmly, "Before you leave Guangling, you should give one more sutra, right?"
"Yeah." Gu Xiaolian nodded and responded softly. She was really afraid of being taken advantage of, and she was afraid that Wang Xian was also taking advantage of her.
"Believe me," Wang Xian was keenly aware of her emotional fluctuations and said in a deep voice, "I am someone worthy of your trust..."
"Yes." Gu Xiaolian responded again, but this time her voice was obviously much louder, with a bright smile on her face and she said: "Whatever the official orders, I just listen." It doesn't matter if she said in her heart that he was deceived.
?It’s just that in this world, there will really be nothing left to miss...
"Nothing else is needed. You can just add three sentences when the time comes." Wang Xian obviously had already made a plan, and said slowly: "First, I am in trouble and have to travel far, so you can take care of yourself. Second, General Tongtian is the Buddha.
No one can replace the person who has decreed to lead you. The third sentence is, if I come back, it will be the day when you are free from the sea of suffering.
Gu Xiaolian nodded and said that she had taken note of it, but she didn't understand what kind of medicine Wang Xian was selling in his gourd. But she didn't want to ask, she just wanted to give herself to this person wholeheartedly, even if she was bruised and bruised.
I am willing to pay stupidly once...
As soon as the two of them finished talking about business, Gu Xiaolian frowned slightly and whispered: "Someone is coming." Wang Xian listened with stunned ears. After a while, he heard footsteps, followed by the maid's low voice.
She called out softly: "Saint, Saint..."
"What's the matter?" Gu Xiaolian touched Wang Xian's lips, quickly ducked behind the beaded curtain, and resumed her noble and indifferent tone.
"My slave has been out for more than half an hour. I haven't heard any movement inside, so I'm worried about coming over and asking." The maid hurriedly explained.
"I have finished asking." Gu Xiaolian said slowly: "He is very cooperative. Take him down and serve him well. Don't make it difficult."
"Yes." The maids responded, unhooked Wang Xian from the pillar, and secretly looked at the guy. They saw that he had a full beard and tail, and his face was rosy. He seemed to look better than when he came in.
"I have blessed him with the holy law and raised him to be fat and healthy. I have my own uses..." the saint behind the curtain explained hurriedly.
The maids did not dare to talk nonsense, so they took Wang Xian down and locked him in a room alone. They gave him food and wine, and brought him a charcoal basin to keep him warm. Wang Xian was really hungry and ate a large bowl of noodles.
Guang Li lay on the kang with his eyes wide open and began to meditate... A conversation with Gu Xiaolian seemed to clear away the fog, allowing him to see the clues of the situation in Shanxi and even the situation in the court for the first time.
Based on what we have learned before, it is obvious that Shanxi Liu Zijin's rebellion here and now was not an accident, but a conspiracy against the prince. The reason why Liu Zijin's rebellion was so powerful was due to the fact that Emperor Yongle exploited the people a lot, but it was absolutely inseparable from it.
There was no connivance from Shanxi, and even financial and material support. Before, Wang Xian felt that Shanxi civil and military officials were simply eating arsenic for their old age - they were tired of living, even if it was to make up for the shortfall in their respective official treasury.
Are you so aggressive in fighting?
It would make sense to say that the local civil and military forces were coerced, or at least gave in half-heartedly. And those who coerced them should be the newly ascended Prince Jin and several of his brothers. First of all, the Jin Prince's Palace is deeply rooted in Shanxi, and it was a mastermind a few years ago.
Although there is a ban on Shanxi's military and political control, the remaining power still exists. If you want to threaten Shanxi's civil and military affairs, you can still do it. Those who dare not cooperate will probably die like Zhao Zhixian.
The reason why Zhu Jiyan did this is also very clear. It was to get rid of the original Jin King Zhu Jixi and become the Jin King himself. The difficulty of abolishing the eldest son and establishing a young vassal king is second only to replacing the crown prince. No matter how Zhu Jiyan is
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't do it. So he asked for help from the DPRK's Austrian aid - King Zhao. The condition offered by King Zhao was to let King Jin foster a rebellion, block the food road to Xuanfu, and cause the army to run out of food.
, to anger the emperor and come back to deal with the prince.
Obviously, King Zhao and King Han wear the same pants, otherwise he would have no reason to plan such a thing...
In the end, with the joint efforts of all parties, Liu Zijin successfully launched an uprising, cut off the food road, and deprived the emperor of food. Thunder was furious, and he already wanted to depose the prince. However, due to the laws of his ancestors, the pressure was too great, and the grandson was involved.
Only then did he hesitate to decide.
So far, the King of Han and the King of Zhao are naturally the most proud of this matter. Zhu Jiyan is also equally proud... The next month after the emperor returned to Beijing, Zhu Jixi was deposed and Zhu Jiyan became the king of Jin. Finally,
You get what you want. According to the principle of who benefits and who is suspected, there is a great possibility that these princes are causing trouble behind the scenes.
Thinking about it this way, the plot of this conspiracy against the prince became clear. Zhu Gaoxu's brothers and cousins joined forces to trick the prince. It seemed that the plan was well planned and the cooperation was tacit, and the effect was immediate. However, after Wang Xian thought about it clearly, he did not
I felt frightened, but instead felt excited.
Because although the other party's conspiracy is majestic and dizzying, it violates the taboo of conspiracy, which is that there are too many shady things like conspiracy. Smart planners take advantage of the situation and subtly create it.
The means and active actions should be as few as possible, and the part of the conspiracy should be as small as possible. The reason is simple. Once the conspiracy is detected, it loses its effect and instead shoots yourself in the foot. You
The bigger the action is and the wider the aspects involved, the harder it is to keep it secret and the easier it is to be caught.
It's really hard to say whether the person who planned this big conspiracy made a smart decision or was completely confused. But this is not something Wang Xian worries about. He only knows that once he has figured out the context and seen the situation clearly, he will be full of things to attack.
In this game in Shanxi, he finally had the confidence to win.
Suppressing his excitement, Wang Xian continued to think about the current situation...
The next day, it was time for the saint to go on tour again. She would leave Guangling the next day, so she naturally had to give an explanation to the believers.
After reciting the scriptures and before distributing holy water and holy wafers, the Holy Lady glanced at the believers and said slowly: "I am in trouble and have to travel far, so you can take care of yourself..."
The believers were stunned at first, and then were stunned. Without caring about their propriety, they all asked anxiously: "What trouble is the saint having? We are willing to help the saint eliminate the disaster..."
"No one can help me. This is a matter of my personal practice." The saint shook her head and said: "After I leave, you will still be united and friendly. Remember, General Tongtian was ordered by the Buddha to lead you. No one can
Instead, you must respect General Tongtian as your master and prevent anyone from usurping his position."
Seeing that it was of no avail, the believers had no choice but to remember the saint's decree and spread it everywhere.
"When I return, it will be the day when you will transcend the sea of suffering." After the saint said the last words, the Brahma music began again, and the waiters in white began to distribute holy water and holy cakes. Because the saint had not been seen for a while, the people received the holy saints.
The enthusiasm for bathing in the holy water was several times higher than usual. Fortunately, the saint had already made preparations and brought out all the holy wafers and distributed them to the believers...
It was already an hour after they separated from the believers and returned to the mountain. When the saint entered the back hall, General Song followed with a sullen face and said, "Why are you talking nonsense without permission?" What he had ordered the saint before was to tell the believers.
, I want to practice in seclusion for a period of time, which is not a long journey.
"They trust me so much, I don't want to lie to them..." The saint said lightly: "Besides, what's wrong with me saying this?"
General Song thought about it and said, "It's nothing..." The saint strengthened General Tongtian's authority in public. This was a good sign. It meant that she was starting to think about Liu Zijin. But General Song couldn't let her go on arrogantly and said coldly.
: "You are not allowed to make arbitrary opinions in the future."
"I know..." the saint smiled nonchalantly and said, "I'm tired, you should go down and rest."
Regarding the saint's words, General Song didn't think it mattered, but there were people on the other side who did.
Liu Zijin was ingratiating himself with the Saint. Every time the Saint gave a lecture, he would have people imprint the Saint's Jade Instructions and distribute them to his subordinates to read. Therefore, General Pingtian soon arrived with black and white words on the paper, an old face ashen as green, and a head full of
With his yellow hair burning like fire, he gritted his teeth and said, "What kind of ecstasy soup did Liu Zijin pour into this bitch to allow her to advocate like this?"
The person he was talking to was none other than his trusted general Han Tiancheng, but their statuses had changed completely. Wei Wuque was sitting in the front seat, and General Pingtian was standing at the bottom of the hall, as if he were his subordinates.
Wei Wuque also looked ugly. He read the Holy Maiden's Jade Instructions carefully again and frowned: "Why do I feel that there is something in these words? Could it be that they noticed something?"
