Chapter 759: The Jade Seal of the Kingdom of Chuan is missing, and the army of the Marquis of Shu enters the city
Long Aotian and Xue Luxing sat down, and Long Aotian spoke first: "Senior sister, I have worked hard all these years. ”
"For the great cause of the division, it's nothing, senior brother came this time, but the Shu army is going to make a move?"
"Well, I came to you this time for two things, first, as you thought, Yuzawa Yaoshi is almost unable to hold on, and there will be action soon. ”
Regarding the movements of Shu Hou, both Long Aotian and Xue Luxing are very clear in their hearts. The difficulty of Shu Road is a natural barrier in Shu, but it has also become a restriction. In order to maintain the huge Shu army, the Shu land, which is already overwhelmed, has to pay extra because of the transfer of materials, so now every day is tormenting for the Marquis of Shu.
On the other hand, in the capital, although the imperial court's finances were exhausted, there was a lot of grain in stock. It has often happened that the official warehouse has been shortened in all dynasties, but since the Demon Cloud Sea took control of the power of the soldiers and horses a hundred years ago, the control of the Yunzhong Military Region and the capital has been extremely strict. Whether it is the supply of the army or the stabilization of the people's hearts, the importance of food is self-evident, so in many things, Moyunhai has to compromise with the nobles, but in this place, it is really who chops the whole clan.
In addition, Lin Yue swept away a number of big nobles in the capital, causing the top magnates of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty to suffer heavy losses, in fact, it was also a continuation of this crumbling dynasty, but the symptoms were not cured, and they still couldn't be saved in the end.
But Lin Yue's actions are not without benefits, after the war situation is erosive, it is difficult for the Demon Cloud Sea to take care of the capital, if these top magnates are still there, I am afraid that the price and situation in the capital will also be difficult to guarantee. After the new king ascended to the throne of the Song Party was reused, these young officials who relied on their mouths and blood, although they were obviously immature everywhere, but it was precisely because of this immature blood that they had not yet fallen immediately, and the Jin Shu army was outside the city, and their minds were still above the court, not immediately for their own profits.
In this way, the Marquis of Shu Xi Ze Yaoshi sat on wax, and he was under the banner of the Qing king's side, but now that the new king has ascended the throne, most of the traitors he said have been removed, and now there are still 100,000 troops in the capital, and the food is abundant. In addition, the Jin army around him is on the side. It is impossible for the Shu army to attack the capital in the face of the world's condemnation.
This is only external factors, and the internal Shu army is nearly 200,000, but in fact, most people are following the call of the Marquis of Shu, and now that the new king has ascended the throne, the political goal has been achieved, and for so many years Shu has been tightly tensed because of the war. If the new king's discussion is successful this time, everyone can put their swords and guns into the warehouse, put them in Nanshan, and go home for reunion.
At this time, if the Marquis of Shu told them, we still have to fight, and there is no reason to attack the imperial court. Then if you don't need to besiege the capital and the Jin Guogong army, you will have to collapse first.
Therefore, it is inevitable that Yuzawa Yaoshi will make a desperate bet, and at this time, it is not expected to do anything, and there is no better reason than to oppose the New Deal. Even if the new policy is more beneficial to the grassroots soldiers, but there are policies and countermeasures, as long as the marquis of Shu reverses black and white, these beneficiaries will immediately become the vanguard of the crusade against the new king.
In fact, Xue Luxing has never wanted to enter the palace to become the new king's adviser, also because it is better not to do anything at the moment. The second prince threw out a new policy, although there were only three, but the disputes caused were not small. In Xue Luxing's view, this step is a mistake for the new king. After all, he is orthodox, not only does he have no faults, but he also got rid of the adulterous concubine eunuch, which can be said to have a good reputation. As long as the benefits of the marquis of Shu are properly granted, the situation can be stabilized. Otherwise, even if it drags on both sides of Jin and Shu for a year and a half, it doesn't matter, anyway, there is surplus food in the capital.
However, all politics and economy are military concessions in Shu can not continue the war, it can only fall apart, as for the Yushan disciples who help Shu, their purpose is not only to kill people and destroy the Great Zhou Dynasty, what does the life and death of the people of Shu have to do with them?
After thinking everything through, Xue Luxing asked again: "When is the Marquis of Shu going to do it?"
"Within three or two days, it depends on the actions of Jin Guogong. ”
"Is there still a matter of Jin Guogong here? Could it be that Jin and Shu are ready to join forces?" Having said that, Xue Luxing was not surprised, although the two families had been fighting for so long, they would also join forces to deal with the new king and the new policy. After all, the New Deal is too demanding on local nobles, and the ruling foundation of these two princes is the local nobles, and even they themselves are big nobles, touching the bottom line of the entire class, and any personal enmity can be put aside.
"No, on the contrary, these two are ready to merge. ”
"At such a time, there is still infighting?"
"Well, if nothing else, you will see a different situation in three days, and your identity as an undercover agent should be thrown away as soon as possible. ”
Xue Luxing understood in an instant when he heard this, no matter how they acted, their goal was the new deal, but as a courtier, they couldn't directly hold the king with a knife, and the Song Party undoubtedly became the best target to blame. She can even imagine that this will become the third party ban after the Western Party and the Eunuch Party. If the hot-blooded young people of the Song Party knew that they would end up with the previous eunuchs, they didn't know what to do, but it was a pity......
"I understand, I will end the affairs of the capital as soon as possible in two days, senior brother is talking about two things, what is the other thing?"
Long Aotian said: "About the matter of the jade seal of the country." ”
The snow road is unknown, so she just came to the capital to go undercover, but she didn't think about fighting for power and profit, so the jade seal of the country is just a dead thing to her.
Long Aotian knew that she didn't know the subtleties, so he explained: "The jade seal of the country is one of the five spirit beads, and it has been the symbol of the co-master of the human race for tens of thousands of years...... and then briefly introduced.
This also explains why Yushan wants to help Shudi, in addition to killing the people of Butterfly Valley in the court, there is also to seize the jade seal of the country. But because the jade seal of the country is the treasure of the human race, cultivators can't touch it, and they are not even as good as a chaotic minister and thief in this regard.
If it was an ordinary rebel, he raised an army to rebel and enter the palace, and he would take the jade seal of the country. But if a cultivator touches this treasure, he will definitely be counterattacked.
Now after the mixing of Yushan, the luck of the Great Zhou Dynasty is almost exhausted, but the power of the jade seal still exists, only waiting for one day the Shu army to enter the city, coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and the king has become a puppet, so that the luck of the Great Zhou Dynasty is really finished. They will also be able to move the human spirit beads.
After understanding the cause and effect, Xue Luxing said: "Senior brother, do you want me to take advantage of the chaos to steal the jade seal of the country?"
"No, you don't need to do this, even if the Great Zhou Dynasty is over, the jade seal of the country is still the treasure of the human race, and your Taoism is too shallow to do this. ”
Hearing this, Xue Luxing breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't know that she couldn't do this, but as an undercover agent who used it if it was useful and threw it away if it was useless, where did she have the confidence to refuse. Although everyone is the third generation of Yushan, Long Aotian is the chief disciple, and he is just a name before the master dies, the senior brother really has an order, and Xue Luxing has to agree: "What does the senior brother need me to do?"
Long Aotian said: "Last night, I entered the palace at night and found that the heirloom jade seal in the palace was fake. ”
Xue Luxing raised her eyebrows when she heard this, her focus was not on the jade seal, but on why Long Aotian would enter the palace at night, anyway, he couldn't be to steal the jade seal, was it just to see? You must know that the Marquis of Shu will be in trouble in three or two days, and you can swagger in at that time.
Even so, she didn't ask carefully, but said: "Fake? shouldn't it, although I don't walk much in the palace, but I have seen the jade seal of the country before, and I don't see anything wrong." ”
Long Aotian continued: "The fake jade seal is not only realistic, but also instilled with spiritual blessings, not to mention ordinary people, even cultivators seem to be extraordinary treasures, but careful observation can't escape the eyes of masters, after all, the human spirit bead is a treasure, no matter how fake it is, it can't be imitated after all." ”
"Listening to what Senior Brother said, it seems that it was not done by an idle person, what clues does Senior Brother have?"
"There are no detailed clues, just look at it with a wait-and-see atmosphere, there is still a glimmer of light shining above the capital, and the jade seal of the country is still in the city, but there is no way to determine where it is. So please ask my sister to inquire one or two secretly. "In fact, the people of Yushan would rather have a careerist steal the jade seal from the capital, with the art of observing qi, they will not lose it, and when the time comes, they will directly snatch it, and the backlash will not be great.
Xue Luxing said: "This is no problem, since the person who did it is extraordinary, and the things are still in the capital, I will definitely be able to find a way to find out." ”
Long Aotian nodded: "Although there are no detailed clues, there are about four directions. ”
"Oh? ”
"One of them is the Ji family of the Great Zhou royal family, maybe they are afraid that the real jade seal will be lost, so they put the fake jade seal in the open as a cover, and they have really secretly collected it. The second may be that the Taishi Demon Cloud Sea saw that the Great Zhou Mansion was about to fall, so he secretly resorted to means. Third, there is another cultivator who can contact the jade seal and has the ability, that is, Lin Yue, the Marquis of Anling, who dominated the capital back then, in addition to being a disciple of Butterfly Valley, he seems to have another identity, maybe it has something to do with this matter, but he didn't take the jade seal, maybe it was hidden somewhere in the capital, so it is really difficult to find. The last point is that other people, although the ability of secular people is limited, but it may not be impossible to operate in the dark, eunuchs, nobles, and even the current Song Party, there are also some people who can contact the jade seal, although the possibility is low, but the uncertainty is too great, so it is the most difficult to query. ”
Xue Luxing nodded, the first three were the most likely and the best to check, and suddenly she thought of one more thing: "Today I met Lin Yue's disciple, the little sword god Princess Ji Ya......"
Long Aotian became interested: "Huh, let's talk about ......"
......
In the early morning after Mingyue Tower's farewell for three days, Ji Ya got up early as always, ready to go to the street for breakfast as usual.
In the past three days, she has been walking around the city again, and the discussion about the new deal has become more and more intense, and she is about to go out when she suddenly feels a vibration, which is the sound of galloping horses, and there are quite a few people.
At this time, many people in the capital have gotten up, but they haven't gone out yet, and some businesses have been opened sporadically, and the sudden noise has alerted everyone.
The gate of Ji Ya's courtyard slowly opened a gap, and when he looked out, he saw a group of armor soldiers rushing across the border, and the leader shouted: "The Duke of Jin Guo opposed the new policy and attacked the capital, and the Marquis of Shu put down the chaos, and the people of the capital were not implicated, and they returned home to guard the door, and they were not allowed to go out to avoid accidental injury...... "After the armor shouted a few times, he ran to the next block.
Everyone knows that the capital has changed again, and the capital and the palace are protected by a powerful magic circle, and once it is opened, no one can break through, but it is a pity that the third prince and the fourth prince have already used it when they are competing for the throne. Such a powerful magic circle was the hard work of the Demon Cloud Sea for nearly a hundred years, but it was lost in the royal family fighting. Now no matter who is in trouble, as long as the door of the capital is opened, it will no longer be able to stop the rolling army from entering the city.
