"Father, if you check the people around him, is there something wrong?"
Si Ziqi hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice, "After all, Shang Yang Chao is a close confidant of the king. Although our Langhuan is the wife of Lu Guo, it is not easy for us to be in trouble with Shang Yang Chao, a close confidant."
"Moreover, the influence of Nancai's old ministers is so intricate that it cannot be underestimated in today's Lu State. Although you are acting under the emperor's orders, the emperor may not accept your favor."
Wen Yuanming looked at Si Ziqi in surprise and said, "Very good, it's very rare for you to have such intention!"
After saying that, the old master sighed deeply, "It's a pity that you are still not strong enough to see the true intention of our prince. Our prince is more powerful than everyone imagined." Be more resolute and courageous, and be even more invincible!"
Obviously, this old master who had experienced five dynasties had already smelled a different atmosphere. Although he did not know Xun Shaoyu's specific thoughts, he was somewhat mentally prepared.
And being able to survive through five dynasties in Bo Yun's treacherous court situation, Wen Yuanming not only has the Shangqing Palace behind him, but also has a precise vision that is far ahead of others. For Wen Yuanming's vision, it has experienced countless Si Ziqi had no choice but to believe in this first practice.
Si Ziqi clenched his fists anxiously, his face full of uneasiness, he frowned and whispered, "What do you mean, father, is that all this is planned by the monarch, and the Fenshui incident is also controlled by the monarch?"
If Wen Yuanming's guess is true, if this news spreads, a big earthquake will occur throughout the Lu Kingdom. This is not something that ministers should be involved in, and no ministers should be involved.
Wen Yuanming smiled faintly and said, "You are worrying too much... It's not manipulation, it's just paying attention to one or two things at most. Our prince is not worried about the old ministers of Nancai, but is afraid that these people will not be able to be used. Just rest in pleasure and be content with the status quo!"
"The prince is in his youth, full of ambitions, and needs a group of ministers who are good at conquering and fighting. However, the current weak national power and no war at home and abroad have caused some ministers to only enjoy themselves and have no ambition to improve, so they dare to carry out such a crisis. The princes and princes also want to give these people a shock due to Lu Guo's stupidity."
Wen Yuanming's eyes shone with a faint light. An old minister is an old minister after all. Wen Yuanming directly saw through Xun Shaoyu's thoughts.
Xun Shaoyu had only been in power for three years, and the civil and military officials under his command had fallen to such a level that they dared to reach out for money and food for disaster relief. This trend must not last forever. If it continues like this, when will Lu Guo become the overlord of a state?
As the saying goes, "Be born in sorrow and die in peace and happiness." Xun Shaoyu, as a qualified king, kept this in mind.
Si Ziqi nodded and whispered, "So that's it, it seems like there's going to be trouble in Quanpu again!"
The incident in Fenshui is neither small nor big, and it all depends on Xun Shaoyu's temperament. If he really follows the plan and kills all those involved, many people will die.
"Yes... there is going to be a turmoil. Once the turmoil arises, it will depend on the king's thoughts if it will subside."
…………
A few days passed in a blink of an eye. Within these few days, Quanpu, the capital of Lu State, and even the area of Sanpu, were inexplicably filled with a solemn atmosphere.
In this inexplicably heavy atmosphere, it seems that even the common people in Guizhou have been affected by it. They walk in a hurry when going to and fro, and they are even less talkative outside. They are afraid that they will get into trouble because of their quick words, and they will die even if they die. Even the crowds in the market have become much thinner without realizing it.
The increasingly depressive atmosphere in Miura makes these war-torn Guizhou people seem to smell something. Uneasiness is brewing, whether it is the uneasiness of the common people, the uneasiness of the leaders, or the uneasiness of the dignitaries, they have gradually slowed down in the past few days.
diffuse.
In a hotel room in the east city of Quanpu, Shangyang Kai sat next to the wine table with a fearful face, looking at the door of the room from time to time, his expression mixed with uneasiness and fear.
"He...why hasn't he come? Why hasn't he come?"
The fear and uneasiness on the face of this dandy boy from the Shangyang family has almost reached the extreme. He even doesn't know where to place his hands and feet. Sitting on the long bench, his legs are shaking constantly.
Got! Got! Got!
His teeth were chattering unconsciously. In these short few days, Shang Yangkai was under pressure that ordinary people could not imagine. If he hadn't been lucky enough, he would have collapsed long ago.
The atmosphere in Miura is extremely depressing, especially the undercurrent in Shangyang Mansion, which makes Shangyang Kai extremely alert. Perhaps he is hiding something wrong in his heart, but Shangyang Kai looks at everyone he meets with a pair of scrutinizing eyes.
Even slaves and handymen made Shangyang Kai extremely vigilant.
Especially his uncle Shang Yangkai's gaze made Shang Yangkai even more tormented. Almost every moment, behind Shang Yangkai, there seemed to be thousands of pairs of eyes staring at him coldly, which made Shang Yangkai even more tormented.
Shangyang Kai's heart was extremely heavy.
Tread! Tread! Tread!
At this time, several heavy footsteps suddenly sounded outside the wing, and the floor creaked. Shangyang Kai's expression changed, and he stared at the door tightly.
Squeak - the door of the wing was slowly pushed open, and a mediocre-looking middle-aged man in white looked around at the surrounding decorations before slowly walking into the wing.
Looking at the person coming, Shangyang opened his face as if crying and smiling, and said, "You...you are finally here!"
The middle-aged man in white looked calm and glanced at the panicked Shang Yangkai. A flash of disgust flashed in his eyes, but his face remained as usual. He said calmly, "What happened to make you so anxious to meet me? Didn't I tell you?"
You, now is the most critical time, it is best not to meet each other if nothing happens. If you are so anxious, is there something wrong with Shangyang Mansion?"
"That old guy Shang Yangchao noticed it. He must have noticed it. I won't do anything with you anymore."
Shangyang Kai gritted his teeth, his nose and tears mixed together, and he growled, "I'm scared... I'm really scared... I don't want those jade shells and stone shells anymore, I'll give them all to you... I'll give them all to you, I don't want to be with you anymore."
You have any involvement!"
The middle-aged man in white looked at Shang Yangkai's sudden vent indifferently, with a curve in the corner of his mouth. Just looking at Shang Yangkai's crazy-like expression, a trace of contempt in his eyes flashed away.
"Why?" The middle-aged man in white, with a warm smile on his face, slowly sat down next to Shangyang Kai and said, "Isn't our cooperation always smooth? You make it convenient for us, and we will share the profits with you. This
Our cooperation has always been a win-win situation!"
The middle-aged man in white said calmly, "We have our own way, and you can take advantage of your uncle's influence. If we join forces, we will benefit from both. As long as you use them freely, you don't know how great the benefits are. You are really willing to do so."
Put down this benefit and go back to continue being your spoiled playboy? With this resource in hand, even a pile of resources can push you to the ninth level of the soul."
Hearing that the Nine Transformations of the Soul was right in front of him, Shangyang Kai gritted his teeth, his expression became hesitant, and his attitude became a little loose.
This amount of money is not a small amount. No matter where you are, food is real hard currency. Two hundred thousand dan of food is really not a small amount.
"Just relax, you don't have to be suspicious all the time. After all, you are the nephew of Mr. Shangyang, and you have Mr. Shangyang as your backer. The monarch does not look at the monks but the Buddhas. For the sake of the stability of the court, the monarch will not take advantage of you.
How."
Seeing Shang Yangkai's mood gradually calming down, the middle-aged man in white gave a nasty smile and said, "It's just that we lost two hundred thousand stones of food and starved to death tens of thousands of untouchables. What can he do to you and what will he do to you?"
In this way, the king can not consider the separation of the monarch and his ministers, just to kill you, a playboy?"
Listening to the middle-aged man in white mentioning Shangyang Dynasty, Shangyang Kai's mood gradually relaxed, and he said in a daze, "Yes, I still have an uncle. His old man will definitely not watch me die. The relationship between the monarch and his uncle is different."
, I’ll be fine.”
The solemn atmosphere in the past few days has given Shangyang Kai a sense of being at war with everyone, which is really a kind of torture. Every time he wants to tell Shang Yang Chao the truth, but when he thinks of Shang Yang Chao learning the truth, he looks like
He looked furious, but then fell silent again. His muddled mentality was self-evident.
However, after several days of panic, the pressure on Shangyang Kai became increasingly heavy, and he even had to escape from Shangyang Mansion and hide in this wine shop to survive.
The middle-aged man in white looked at Shangyang Kai who was still in a state of despair, with a hint of coldness in his brows, and said, "How long have you been out of Shangyang Mansion?"
In the eyes of the middle-aged man in white, this Shang Yang Kai is an extremely useful chess piece. Unless it is absolutely necessary, the middle-aged man in white would not abandon this useful chess piece in Shang Yang Kai.
Shangyang Kai smiled bitterly and said, "I escaped the night before yesterday. I don't dare to stay in the house anymore. If I stay in the house again, I will definitely go crazy in that kind of atmosphere."
"Damn it, you bastard, you... you actually ran away, who asked you to run away?" The expression of the middle-aged man in white changed, and instantly became extremely terrifying and sinister, and he said in a cold tone.
The middle-aged man in white suddenly learned that Shangyang Kai had escaped from Shangyang Mansion. After learning the bad news, the middle-aged man in white was almost so angry that he vomited blood.
In the eyes of the middle-aged man in white, although Shang Yangkai is a good chess piece, the greatest role of this chess piece can only be achieved when he is not exposed.
And Shang Yangkai's unauthorized escape was not a self-inflicted crime, but he openly told Shang Yang Chao that there was something wrong with Shang Yangkai, and in this case, half of the chess piece was useless.
And the reason why it was only half useless is because the middle-aged man in white
(This chapter is not finished yet)
I can't figure out Shang Yang Chao's thoughts, and I don't know if he can exterminate relatives with justice, so Shang Yang Kai still has some use value.
"No, the power of Shangyang Dynasty is so great. Although he is punished by a hundred-day confinement and it is impossible to show up in person in a short time, it is extremely simple for him to find someone in Quanpu. It may take even an hour.
Not on."
The middle-aged man in white was so frightened that he couldn't help but pinch the corner of the table to pieces with his palms. He said with fear, "No, this is a trap. Maybe Shang Yang Kai is the bait!"
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. The middle-aged man in white knew very well that Xun Shaoyu’s methods were ruthless. If he only acted in secret, the middle-aged man in white might not be so afraid of Xun Shaoyu, but if he was placed in full view of the public, the middle-aged man in white would
The courage of young people is somewhat lacking.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Waves of roaring sounds like muffled thunder suddenly exploded from the ears, and an unbearable killing aura suddenly fell from the sky. The middle-aged man in white saw a phoenix bird bathed in fire, suddenly spreading its wings and flying high.
"Flying Phoenix Divine Weapon!" The middle-aged man in white clothes could no longer maintain his composure, and there was indescribable panic in his high-pitched voice.
The power of the Feihuang Divine Soldiers of Lu Guozhen's national defense forces is engraved in the hearts of every Lu Guoguo citizen. It is the reputation they have earned through countless fierce battles with mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
A Taoist soldier at his peak is enough to suppress a martial arts saint. No matter how confident this middle-aged man in white is, he would not dare to stand shoulder to shoulder with a martial arts saint.
"Where is Zhong's army? They sealed the area for ten miles, set up a dragnet, and entered the tavern with me to capture the thief alive!!"
At this moment, a majestic voice seemed to fall from the sky, terrifying energy shook all directions, and countless sealed spaces loomed.
…………
"Huh?"
At the same time, in the Ganquan Palace, Xun Shaoyu was sitting on the throne, with an extremely indifferent expression, his palms stroking the table, his behavior showed a majestic and unpredictable look, and he looked towards the east city with his eyes open and closed.
"It's Wen Yuanming's breath. Not only did he set up a dragnet, but he also dispatched a flying phoenix divine weapon. It seems that Wen Yuanming has achieved a lot in the past few days!" Xun Shaoyu smiled softly and said, "It's just a few days."
"There are too many restless people in the government and the public. Wen Yuanming's move this time may be able to suppress these people."
The solemn atmosphere these days has caused many officials to complain, but Xun Shaoyu suppressed it hard, so these officials had to suffer and did not dare to express their dissatisfaction.
With Xun Shaoyu's skillful means at this time, which was almost as good as the way of heaven and man, Wen Yuanming's actions were as clear as fire in his eyes. And mobilizing the Feihuang Divine Soldier, a national Taoist soldier, without Xun Shaoyu's quiet acquiescence,
How could it be so simple?
All of this is under the control of Xun Shaoyu. Xun Shaoyu wanted to use this to clean up a group of mediocre people in order to correct and rectify the atmosphere of the court. Of course, under his dictatorship, most of the
You can do it directly, and what you do may not be impossible, but it seems a bit too hasty.
"Old minister of Nancai...Old minister of Marquis Wen..." Xun Shaoyu murmured to himself. These were his two worries, and they were also the biggest hidden dangers of Lu State at present. If these hidden dangers were not eliminated, Xun Shaoyu would not worry about attacking.
Celestial Martial Arts.
The corruption incident in Fenshui River was an opportunity for Xun Shaoyu to solve the problems of his two confidants. The old ministers of Nancai became increasingly unruly and unruly, and the old ministers of Marquis Wen relied on their seniority to rely on their elders and sell them out. Xun Shaoyu's patience had long been stretched to the extreme.
"Perhaps, after solving these people, I can wholeheartedly enter the path of heaven and man!"
At this time, Xun Shaoyu's martial arts powers were extremely powerful. The four gates of the Heavenly Gate had already been completed. His mind, body, strength, and spirit could not advance any further. The next step was to realize the way of heaven and man.
That Tai Chi incarnation of Yuan Shen combined with Tao, and achieved half-step Taiyi enlightenment, which made Xun Shaoyu's realm advance by leaps and bounds. When it comes to the subtle realm of Taoism, Xun Shaoyu is no less than a real heavenly being.
Although it is still a little short of a real celestial being, if Xun Shaoyu polished it a little, he might be able to break into the way of celestial beings immediately.
Under the influence of Xun Shaoyu's spiritual spirit, Wen Yuanming moved very quickly. He set up a heavenly and earthly net, and with the help of the flying phoenix divine soldiers, it was simply a devastating force, like a candle being easily extinguished.
At this moment, since Wen Yuanming took action, it was definitely a thunderous strike. The flying phoenix divine soldiers suppressed all chaos that might occur in the Miura area, including Quanpu. A strong soldier with an iron-blooded evil spirit, controlled by
Bronze chariots are like battle fortresses, shuttling freely across the land of Miura.
Less than half an hour later, Wen Yuanming was seen walking into the Ganquan Palace step by step, dressed in court clothes, with a heavy look on his face, and a male and female sword hanging on his waist.
"Old minister, see you, Lord!" After hearing that Yuanming went straight into Ganquan Palace, his expression was extremely solemn, and he bent down and bowed.
Looking at the dusty Wen Yuanming, Xun Shaoyu said calmly, "Zaifu is worthy of being the leader of the country. It only took a few days to catch these rats. I asked Zaifu to handle the matter. It seems that it is okay."
It worked wonders.”
Wen Yuanming spoke frankly and said, "Your Majesty, I am here to return the imperial edict. The people involved are too important. I dare not take charge of it, so I have to ask your Majesty to make a decision."
Although Wen Yuanming got what he wanted in the previous trap at the Dongcheng Inn, and under the expedited interrogation, he got a lot of secret inside information. But it was precisely because Wen Yuanming knew these inside stories that he felt
Somewhat difficult.
As Shangyang Chao's nephew, Shangyang Kai has a unique background. It is already troublesome to be vaguely involved in Shangyang Chao, an important minister of the country.
What's more, Shang Yangkai is not just an exception among the middle-aged men in white. There are many noble family members like Shang Yangkai, all of whom are entangled in Nuo Da's interests.
For example, in the Shangyang Dynasty, Zhu Yuxing and other officials with deep roots in the Lu Dynasty were all involved.
Some participated personally, while others participated passively. Without knowing it, the people above and below carefully weaved a large net, covering every corner of Lu State, which made people feel chills down their spines.
Feeling wary and frightened.
I'm afraid no one can imagine that it involves so many aspects that it is simply unimaginable and rampant, making even Wen Yuanming worried about it.
If this mass killing really happened, I'm afraid there would be a big earthquake in the entire Lu State. There were too many important ministers involved in this. Whether it was the old ministers of Nan Cai or the old ministers of Marquis Wen, Wen Yuanming was a little afraid of them.
Judging from the mentality of the old fox Wen Yuanming, he would never do anything stupid that would make him angry. He could only leave it to Xun Shaoyu and let Xun Shaoyu make this decision.
"Don't you dare to be good at expertise?" Xun Shaoyu casually flipped through the memorial submitted by Wen Yuanming and said, "This is strange. Zaifu is a veteran of five dynasties. He is just a few dudes. What else can he cause to Zaifu?
trouble?"
However, after Xun Shaoyu looked at the whole story, his eyes flickered and he instantly understood Wen Yuanming's concerns.
