The Holy Leader suddenly understood, and he shouted: "Song Zheng!" He could hardly hold on to his body and collapsed: "Kill me!"
He covered his heart, his whole body filled with anger in the dark sea of consciousness.
Because of his emotions, mad wolves continued to surge up in the dark sea of consciousness, and spiritual rage swept through him.
He gritted his teeth, but knew that he could not admit that he had fallen into Song Zheng's trick and killed his beloved disciple by mistake. This would have a huge impact on his prestige and would make the lower-level believers miserable.
He could only announce to the outside world that the ghost Shentu was the traitor, which would lead to him continuing to investigate the real traitor in secret, which was very inconvenient.
…
The news that the genius Shentu was killed soon spread among the capital. Suwei was not monolithic, and the truly top aristocratic families also knew that the genius Shentu was the one who betrayed the Queen Mother, but no one understood why he did this.
So there were various speculations, which were getting further and further away from the truth. The only conclusion was: Mr. Song was so terrible that he was able to instigate Huang Tianli, a key figure in the Holy Cult.
After a night, the court meeting will resume.
Before Shang Yunguang opened his mouth, more than a dozen officials came out to oppose the move of the capital to Jiangnan. Their arguments were well-founded and irrefutable.
Apparently after a night of preparation, the forces opposed to moving the capital have formed an alliance and found a way to deal with it.
The emperor is still very weak. He didn't sleep well last night. From time to time, explosions came from the empty battlefield in the palace, reminding him that his mother, the sinister and powerful person who ruled the country, was still alive, like a knife hanging from the sky.
On top of his head, it could fall down at any time.
Facing the opposition from the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, he didn't know how to deal with it, so he had to look at Shang Yunguang again.
Officials from Shang Yunguang's department didn't know what the boss was planning. They only saw him looking like an old god.
"Shang Aiqing, this is your proposal yesterday. Do you have anything to say?" the emperor asked softly.
Shang Yunguang stepped out from the crowd, saluted the emperor, and then said: "I went back yesterday and thought about it all night. What everyone said makes sense. The capital is the foundation of our dynasty, and we must not act rashly."
The officials were stunned: This old man gave up like this? What kind of medicine is being sold in the gourd?
Shang Yunguang continued: "But this imperial city is already an ominous place. I would like to ask your majesty to issue an order to build a new palace outside the capital city, named 'Zixing', for the royal family to live in."
"Build another new palace?" A burst of discussion among civil and military officials sounded like a hornet's nest being poked.
Moving the capital is a very bad thing for almost all the powerful people in the capital. Their roots are in the capital, and their industries are all in the capital. If the capital is moved to Jiangnan, they also have to start over from scratch, just with a higher starting point.
This would bring them heavy losses. Among other things, since the emperor was no longer in the capital, the price of land in the capital immediately fell.
They opposed moving the capital but not building a new palace.
A huge palace costs a lot of money. During the entire project, there are many ways to make money, and everyone thinks they can get a share of it.
Song Zheng actually knew very well that if he wanted to move the capital, he would have to take full control of the entire capital. As for the current situation, the dignitaries in the capital must be holding on and waiting for the return of the Queen Mother or Huang Yuanhe.
As long as one person comes back to take charge of the overall situation, Song Zheng's plan will not be realized.
Therefore, "moving the capital" is just a target. It is thrown out first to make it difficult for everyone to accept, and then a more moderate plan is proposed. Everyone will think that this plan is good and no one will oppose it.
…
All the changes in the court were quickly delivered to Master Song through special channels. Song Zheng read them one by one, and after seeing half of them, there was no need to read the rest. The general situation was already established.
Almost all the courtiers agreed to build a new palace. Only a few Qing officials, such as Taixue Dajijiu, were worried that the large-scale construction project would empty the national treasury and had to increase taxes and increase the burden on the people.
But these objections are like waves in a river, they turn over twice and disappear.
No one in the Ministry of Household Affairs said anything: Why is the national treasury empty? When has the national treasury been filled? The rats in it have been passed down for more than ten generations...
Everyone was clamoring to support His Majesty in building a new palace and leaving this ominous place. But no one asked where the money came from.
Everyone knows that Shang Yunguang is a subordinate of Master Song Zheng, and his proposal must be authorized by Song Zheng, and Master Song is now the richest man in Hongwu.
Mr. Song has a lot of money to talk about, and the officials are extremely envious. They have no ability to take advantage of it, so it is good to get some benefits from these engineering companies.
The night before yesterday, several old monsters from the Star Reaching Tower were busy in the imperial city. They were all top talents of the Longyi Guard and were good at formations and restraints. It took them more than half an hour to find an "entrance".
However, this entrance cannot be cracked at all. It is "sealed" with the dragon energy of the entire dynasty. Unless Huang Tianli Holy Sect opens it by himself, it cannot be cracked. Forcibly opening it requires at least the power of the country, and the result of forcibly opening it is that...
The Dynasty Dragon Qi was injured at the same time, and the cause and effect was too huge. Even with this ability, I would not dare to bear the cause and effect.
So yesterday at the court, Shang Yunguang proposed the idea of "moving the capital". It was not for the purpose of moving the capital, but to move the royal family out of the capital and slowly transfer the dynasty's aura.
Huang Tian's method of establishing the Holy Cult relied on dragon energy, but it could not lock the dragon energy. The emperor and the entire royal family left the imperial city and moved to the newly built "Zaixing Palace" outside the city. The dragon energy of the dynasty will also slowly transfer away from this place.
One place is prohibited.
In fact, Song Zheng was not willing to move the capital and actually moved to the south of the Yangtze River. The journey was long and the process of transferring dragon energy was slow.
Liu Chengfei sorted out the messy information for him, took a few glances at it, and curled his lips and said, "These people are really greedy."
Song Zheng looked at the imperial city with a sneer on his lips: "It's important to rescue Mr. Xiao now. Let's give these greedy people some benefits. In the future, we will eventually pay them back with interest!"
He sat down, picked up his pen and wrote a list, dried the ink and handed it to Liu Chengfei: "Ten billion yuan in jade, the preliminary construction of Zaixing Palace. Let the news out, I will do it quickly and well, so as to cultivate the truth."
It’s best to move in within seven days.”
If we just recruit civilians to build a palace, such a huge palace may not be completely repaired in seven days, let alone seven years.
But it's completely different when cultivation methods are used. Although the seven days are a bit tense, if 10 billion Yuan Yu is scattered and countless monks flock to it, it will definitely be completed.
Song Zheng estimated that it would take more than ten days for the battle between the Queen Mother and Huang Yuanhe to come to an end. He wanted to allow the emperor to move into a new palace before the Battle of Zhenguo ended.
"The imperial city will continue to be reserved for the Queen Mother to live in."
Liu Chengfei took the order and went out. Song Zheng essentially handed over this "fat job" to her, holding a total of 10 billion yuan in jade. Most people have already imagined how to line their own pockets.
But Liu Chengfei acted like a little housekeeper, and all she could think about was: I can’t let those silverfish take advantage of my house! We must keep a close eye on the entire project.
Song Zheng called Sun Bianfei and Lu Wanmin over again: "You secretly assist Miss Liu in this matter. Later, I will ask Shang Yunguang to send more scribes to keep various records."
Sun Bianfei was careless, but Lu Wanmin understood what the Lord meant and nodded: "Don't worry, Sir, I will definitely handle the matter well."
…
Unlike yesterday's court meeting, which ended "unhappily", everyone was beaming with joy when they left the court today, as if tens or hundreds of millions of Yuan Yu had been put into their pockets.
Shang Yunguang leisurely landed at the back, accompanied by several close officials.
It is said that he is close to him rather than a close confidant, because he spent too much time "establishing a sect" in the court, and these officials who came to him did not know the loyalty and traitor. These are only the ones who are relatively close at present, and they have initially qualified to become close confidants.
Several people gathered around Mr. Cifu, chatting with each other about some not-so-funny anecdotes about the court. They chatted awkwardly all the way to the palace gate. A few people couldn't bear it anymore, and someone asked in a low voice: "Sir, command the envoy.
How much Yuan Yu are you planning to use to build the Zaixing Palace?"
Shang Yunguang's moral conduct was no less than that of Huang Yuanhe. He didn't mention this matter all the way, just waiting to see who would speak first. After getting the answer he wanted, he squinted and said: "A total of 10 billion!"
There was a gasp of air among several people, who were indeed shocked by this number.
But Shang Yunguang then said calmly: "You guys, I made it clear in advance, don't be greedy!"
Then, he ignored the others, got into his carriage with his hands behind his back, and staggered away.
Those people had a high status in the court, but the total of 10 billion yuan in jade still shocked them deeply. They gathered outside the palace gate, each had their own thoughts for a while, they were too reluctant to speak first and they were reluctant to leave like this.
.
Finally, someone suggested: "Go and sit at my house?"
"good."
"I was about to disturb you."
So a few people left together, and there were naturally various discussions on the way. Of course they had to listen to the boss's reminder, but they could still do normal business. For the materials to build the palace, we should buy them from others or from our own people.
Isn’t it the same as buying?
…
As soon as the Lie family, Lie Beitao and their eldest brother got off the carriage, they saw a large group of people coming out of the house with a roar, each with a friendly smile on their face, and they all helped to set up the carriage and carry the luggage.
In fact, there is no luggage at all. Everything I need is packed in my mustard finger.
"Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master is back."
"Hurry in, I've ordered someone to prepare dinner. What do your two nephews want to eat?"
"It's better to have a sip of hot tea first. I'll take out the tribute tea from my collection..."
