When the new emperor ascended the throne, the situation was turbulent, attracting spies from all over the world to pour into this majestic ancient capital for thousands of years. It was like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing his own wisdom. For a moment, the news about what happened in Bianliang, the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, was like snowflakes flying all over the sky.
It fell among all the countries in the land of China.
Chai Rong's ascension to the throne also brought some pressure to other countries. After all, this young and strong Zhou emperor was not comparable to the dying Guo Wei. The new emperor was even more courageous than the previous emperor Guo Wei.
Not to mention the major decisions he made for the country and the people, or the young generals he appointed, which shows his ambition.
Thousands of miles away, in the rainy and luxurious imperial capital, there is another metropolis, Jinling, which is no less prosperous than the imperial capital Bianliang. In the imperial palace in Jinling City, sitting high on the dragon chair is
The leader of the Southern Tang Dynasty looked at the controversy among the civil and military officials with a calm expression. He did not make any remarks, but listened quietly to their explanations, and the conclusions he gave were two points. The peace faction said that the Great Zhou Dynasty
When the emperor ascended the throne, he should send envoys to express the Southern Tang Dynasty's desire for reconciliation. The other faction said that while the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty had just succeeded to the throne and was not yet firmly seated, during the turmoil of the Zhou Dynasty, they should launch a large-scale offensive to expand the Southern Tang Dynasty.
And strengthened the power of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
The civil and military officials in the court were arguing endlessly, which caused Li Jing, the leader of the Southern Tang Dynasty, to be troubled for a while. He turned his attention to his youngest brother, the fat Taoist priest Li Xiaoyao. What made him dumbfounded was that the fat Taoist priest Li Xiaoyao
Xiaoyao closed his eyes and leaned against a pillar, pretending to be asleep. You could still vaguely see the slender stream of saliva falling from his mouth. There was also a shrinking figure among the ministers, which was his
The sixth son, Li Congjia, Prince of Anding County. He could not say whether he liked or disliked his sixth son, Di Congjia. It was just that his sixth son never liked palace disputes and did not like the power and throne. On the contrary,
I particularly like those literati and poets who add poetry, music and music.
"Okay, be quiet." Li Jing waved his hand impatiently, pointed at a minister, and asked him: "The new emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty has succeeded to the throne. Should we punish the envoys to show our good will or take the opportunity to invade? Are you here?"
Talk about it."
The minister looked at the ministers, and then at the emperor whose majesty was revealed. He cleared his throat, and an excited look suddenly appeared on his face. At this time, it was his chance to show off, but he saw
He took his time and boasted a lot, but he never got to the point, and his point of view was unclear, but he kept talking for more than half an hour. The minister spoke eloquently.
Fei, like the endless stream of a river, became more and more excited as he talked, but the other ministers listened indifferently and felt disappointed. Even the emperor couldn't listen anymore.
Li Xiaoyao didn't know when he woke up. He listened to the minister's rhetoric with great interest. He didn't know whether he was laughing secretly or thinking of something ridiculous. The fat on his face couldn't help but twitch.
Trembling. His weird expression immediately caught Li Jing's attention, causing the ruler of the Southern Tang Dynasty to turn his attention to the fat figure again.
"Okay, fancy words but no practical explanation." Li Jing waved his hand and dismissed the minister. He set his eyes on Li Xiaoyao, and all the ministers sighed secretly in their hearts. What is this emperor?
Everything is good, and he has a good temper. He just likes this young brother very much. Is it true that this fat Thirteenth Prince is really the emperor's illegitimate son as rumored in the world? Otherwise, why would he be so doting on this Thirteenth Prince?
Love and care.
Li Xiaoyao was stunned. He didn't expect that Li Jing's eyes would fall on him. He didn't know anything about governing the country. He came to the court just on a whim. He wanted to feel what it was like for the emperor to go to court. But
When they talked about the new emperor of Zhou Dynasty ascending the throne, he felt very bored, so he leaned on the pillar in the palace and pretended to be asleep. When he heard the famous minister's nonsense, he couldn't help laughing secretly. But he really
Unexpectedly, his imperial brother would actually set his sights on him, and all the civil and military officials present would also look at him.
"What are you looking at me for? You are talking about yours, and I am listening." Li Xiaoyao got angry for no reason and glared at the officials. In this palace, the only one who can be so unbridled is Prince Xiaoyao.
Well, this young Thirteenth Prince is not afraid of anything. He is not even afraid of the emperor sitting on the dragon throne, let alone other civil and military officials.
"Thirteenth brother, in your opinion, what should we do?" Li Jing looked at his unscrupulous thirteenth brother and smiled awkwardly. How could he be so shameless and let Li Xiaoyao come to court, even though this was Nannan?
Tang Zai went to court for the first time after the New Year, but he couldn't help but secretly regret it and called Li Xiaoyao over. In the past, this fat man couldn't do anything else except to entertain himself. Maybe after the New Year, the fat Taoist priest would want to go to court again.
Traveling around the world, he wanted to meet again but knew it was the year of the monkey and the month of the horse, so he had a sudden idea to let his youngest brother come and experience the taste of going to court.
"What's the matter? Let's fight. If you think you can win, then fight. Although the new emperor of Zhou Dynasty succeeded to the throne, his country's army is strong. And in the Southern Tang Dynasty, everyone is addicted to the gentle countryside of Jiangnan. Let me ask.
For a moment, who is willing to go from these luxurious days to the arduous days of long-term battles? They all say so righteously, but who will lead the troops to fight? The world only knows that we are rich and invincible in the Southern Tang Dynasty, but it does not know that our martial arts style in the Southern Tang Dynasty is gradually declining.
, all of them are only obsessed with the beautiful scenery and drunkenness, can this battle be fought?"
Li Xiaoyao unceremoniously scolded all the civil and military officials present. He was fearless and would not give others a good look.
"Okay, we have made a decision about the Great Zhou Dynasty. The new emperor has succeeded to the throne. We, the Southern Tang Dynasty, will send an envoy to express reconciliation. We have ordered the sixth prince Li Congjia to be the envoy of the envoy, and also sent several third-rank officials from the Ministry of Rites to assist
When Prince Anding is on an envoy to the Great Zhou Dynasty, the specific personnel can be allocated by himself."
Li Jing took a breath, put on his embarrassed expression, and proposed his decision to the civil and military officials present. This decision seemed to have been formed in his heart for a long time. He didn't know if his goodwill this time could bring benefits to the Southern Tang Dynasty.
It brought a great period of peace, but he felt that the new emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, who was only 30 years old, was definitely more difficult to deal with than Guo Wei. This time he went to the Zhou Dynasty as an envoy, and he didn't know whether his decision was right or wrong.
, although the Southern Tang Dynasty was rich and prosperous, it could not withstand the baptism of war. Perhaps this mission could ensure the prosperity of the Southern Tang Dynasty for another few years.
Ye Yinfeng had no idea that something major had happened in Bianliang, another imperial capital thousands of miles away from Jinling. He didn't know what kind of impact that major historical event would have on him. But he just
He is just an ordinary martial arts cultivator, and not a very outstanding martial arts cultivator. He is just a passerby in Jinling City. However, he did not expect that because of this major historical event, he would
Begin to truly take the right path towards the peak of martial arts.
Lai Gou'er had a look of decadence on his face. He didn't dare to look into Ye Yinfeng's eyes, while the old man sighed and hissed, "I have been hunting eagles all my life, but unexpectedly I was blinded by an eagle." From the old man's eyes,
He kept saying these words, and since Xiahou Changgeng and Huangfu Wuming both fell into the Yangtze River under Yanziji, the old man Lai Gouer and him returned to the courtyard of Yangpi Lane. Fortunately,
Yes, they were not hurt, and they were eating and drinking well, but they felt like a heavy stone hung in their hearts. No matter what Ye Yinfeng said, they only felt that they had killed that stupid big Xiahou Changgeng.
In the days after the New Year, Ye Yinfeng lived an extremely comfortable life. Being indifferent by nature, he had no choice but to live with the situation. What he could understand were some messy sword manuals in his arms. He thought of the sword manual in Yanziji.
When it rained, he saw the endless lines of rain, the drizzle as fine as silk, and the inspiration of the rain cutting like silk still echoed in his mind. So these days he couldn't help but deduce
Some sword skills.
In addition to practicing the internal skills and mental methods in "Tai Qing Jue" day and night, he also practiced the sword postures in the sword manual from time to time. And he was like a blind man lighting a lamp, sometimes he still had no clue. Fortunately, the old man had extraordinary insights.
They would occasionally give him a few pointers, otherwise he would be just like Monk Zhang Er who was confused. While practicing swordsmanship diligently and practicing his skills non-stop, Ye Yinfeng stayed in this courtyard for more than ten days.
What he didn't expect was that in the past ten days, a little guest would come, that is, the little princess Lu Wanru of Qingfeng Mingyue Pavilion. But she came as soon as possible and left as soon as possible, and the one who accompanied her was
The number one master of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Shen Zhongxia. Lu Wanru vaguely mentioned something important, but Ye Yinfeng didn't pay attention to it. What surprised him was that the number one master of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Shen Zhongxia, actually had an affair with the scoundrel.
They met the old man whom they had rescued, and they didn't know what they talked about in that room. The two of them seemed to be having a great time talking, and bursts of loud laughter came from the room from time to time.
Lu Wanru secretly told Ye Yinfeng that she was leaving Jinling City, her parents would also leave temporarily, and Qingfeng Mingyue Pavilion was temporarily represented by the deputy pavilion master Ye Jingxuan. What Lu Wanru was worried about was that they left Jinling City.
After that, Ye Jingxuan will deal with Ye Yinfeng, so she came to remind Ye Yinfeng and also to say goodbye. Before leaving, the little girl who was as charming as pear blossoms and raindrops, and who was like a pink jade carving, made Ye Yinfeng unavoidable.
Extremely sad, he couldn't help but think of his sister Ye Ruyan.
What Ye Yinfeng doesn't understand is why people always like to say goodbye at the beginning of the new year. On the first day of the new year, the tall and thin Mr. Thirteen left with the four children. Then Xiahou Changgeng and Huangfu Wuming jumped into the room.
In the rolling Yangtze River, at this time, the Qingfeng Mingyue Pavilion, the first pavilion in the south of the Yangtze River, the pink and jade-like little girl is also leaving. The vows made that day are still vivid in my ears, although in the eyes of others, they are just
It was just a joke, but when Ye Yinfeng saw the firm eyes of the exquisite little girl, he felt that it was not a joke. If one day, Lu Wanru grows up, she will fulfill her promise.
Li Xiaoyao came a few times, but he took the opportunity to leave several times. Ye Yinfeng thought that even the fat Taoist priest would leave in the end, and he felt sad again. After Lu Wanru left, he felt like
It seemed as if he had lost something, and his mood suddenly became depressed. If the fat Taoist priest left, maybe he would not stay in Jinling City anymore, but where to go, he had no idea at all.
This thousand-year-old luxurious ancient capital has not lost its unique charm like mist because some people have left. On the contrary, at the beginning of spring, the drizzle is like needles and dense like a net, and the whole Jinling city is wrapped in a sheet.
In the huge rain net, this silky melancholy of spring rain is the most intoxicating and the most arousing to people's thoughts.
"Hurry up and clean up. I will take you outside to see. The world is so big, how can you not go out."
On this day, the fat Taoist priest rarely changed into a solemn Taoist robe. He had a brand-new whisk in his hand, a green Taoist robe, and a small Ruyi Tianzun cloth cap on his head. If he hadn't been too young, if he hadn't
His body is too fat, and he is simply an old Taoist.
This was the sentence that Ye Yinfeng heard that moved him the most after he came to Jinling. The outside world was so big, and he really wanted to go for a walk.
