Chapter 315: Struggle for power and profit
Geng Qiusheng, this person, no one in the court, no one does not know the origin of this person, from Tianmen, instead of Tianmen to supervise the court, to influence the situation in the world, through the three generations of kings of the Great Shang, the real old ministers of the three dynasties.
With the ruling power of Tianmen, in the court, how can the king of the Great Shang be qualified to rule the world, everything is actually done by Geng Qiusheng, or he informs the emperor in advance, and then the emperor will pass on his words.
Geng Qiusheng is more like the king of big business.
And now, this high-ranking and powerful Mr. Geng has been beheaded like an ant, hung on the gatehouse, and labeled as a rebellious minister and thief.
Today's Tianmen, everyone in the world shouts and fights, the disciples of Tianmen are surrounded by strong enemies, and the Tianmen faction in the court has also been wiped out after Di Xin took power.
"Hehe, retribution......"
Many of the ministers who participated in the court meeting were loyal to Di Xin's old ministers, at the beginning they were suppressed by Tianmen everywhere because they stood on Di Xin's side, and now Di Xin is in power, they have naturally been rewarded, and have gained more rights, and now they are looking at Geng Qiusheng's tragic appearance, although they have some sighs in their hearts, but more are still happy, when Geng Qiusheng bullied them like that, this retribution is also coming.
Most of the ministers who came and went to participate in the court meeting sighed in their hearts when they passed in front of Geng Qiusheng, and at the same time, they also had a little more fear of Di Xin in their hearts, this young king, acting and some means, was not young at all, and he had endured humiliation for so many years, this time, he really made him turn the tables.
This kind of heart and ability, none of the previous kings of the Great Shang Dynasty has ever had.
However, it is precisely such a king that gives them a lot of confidence, and they believe that under the leadership of Di Xin, Dashang will definitely get better and better.
After the inner servant said to the court, the ministers all walked into the court hall in a hurry, and they looked at the young king in the main hall, and always felt like a dream, they could seize power under the monstrous power of Tianmen, and win the support of most of the families, such a skill is too great......
Di Xin was sitting precariously, his eyes swept over the ministers, everyone's faces and expressions were remembered by him, from the eyes of these people, he saw awe, which was not before, before, in the eyes of these people, it was as if they were watching a naughty boy messing around, and occasionally showed a little pity, as if he was pitiful for being controlled by the Heavenly Gate.
Now, Tianmen is finally gone, at least there are no more Tianmen disciples in Chaoge City, either they are dodging, or they are being pulled out and killed, and in Chaoge City, from top to bottom, they are sweeping away the remnants of Tianmen in a large area.
But this is not enough, Di Xin is not satisfied, not only does he not want to see the signs of Tianmen in Chaoge, but even the whole world, he doesn't want to see it again, the existence of Tianmen is like a shameful sword inserted in his heart, inserted in the heart of the previous kings of the Great Shang Dynasty.
"My lord, now the remnants of the Heavenly Gate in Chaoge City have been eradicated. β
In the court, there are courtiers who do what they like, stand up and speak out, he knows that at this time, Di Xin's favorite words to hear should be these, if he exaggerates a little, he will definitely get more rewards.
When the other ministers of the court heard this, they all regretted it, feeling that they were a step too late, and if these words could come out of their mouths, then this coming reward would be their own.
But unexpectedly, after listening to this, Di Xin did not praise the courtier, but waved his hand to the chamberlain on the side, and the chamberlain immediately took out a thick scroll, starting from the left side of the courtiers, and asked them to circulate it one by one.
The courtier who had just stood up noticed that something was wrong with the situation, and his heart suddenly sudden, and his eyes wandered, as if he had thought of something.
"The remnants of the Heavenly Gate are really pervasive, and the Lone King thought that there were no more people from the Heavenly Gate in the court, but he didn't expect it, hehe, Lord Zhang, do you have anything to say?" Di Xin was condescending, his eyes were indifferent, looking at the courtier below, and the killing intent revealed by his cold eyes seemed to have determined his future life.
"The minister has nothing to say, from the moment Li Qinglong was restrained by the king, the minister guessed that there would be today, but the minister's family in Chaoge didn't know about it, and begged the king to let them go, and the minister was willing to accept any punishment. The courtier sighed, as if he had aged much in an instant, and he stood there, staggering, but he could barely say what he wanted to say.
"You can be in an important position in the court, you must know some secrets of the Heavenly Gate, you tell all the information, the Lone King let your family go, if you dare to say a false word, the Lone King will behead you all over the house. Di Xin's words set the end for this courtier, and immediately a guard rushed in outside the palace, took him down, and put him in prison.
The other courtiers, from beginning to end, watched in silence, no one spoke, no one pleaded, and they had already guessed the fate of this man when the thick scroll was handed down from Di Xin.
"Lonely don't believe that there are no remnants of Tianmen in Chaoge City, you go to search carefully, and those who find the remnants of Tianmen will be rewarded for being alone. β
Di Xin looked at the courtiers again, and none of the ministers below dared to look directly at him, and they all lowered their heads, and said a promise in their mouths, only the dervishes who were close to him kept his eyes closed, and sat there like a piece of wood, motionless.
Chaoge City is the center of the Great Commerce, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, Di Xin does not want to see any accidents happen, and this Gate of Heaven is precisely the source of many accidents.
......
The wind and clouds were surging on the side of the Great Shang, and all the places were shouting and shouting at the disciples of Tianmen to kill, and overnight, it was as if the entire Tianmen had become a rat crossing the street.
And Tianmen itself, located in Tianmen Mountain, where the peak is known as the first peak in the world, there are natural dangers, easy to defend and difficult to attack, its own aura is strong, it is a rare treasure land for cultivation.
After Li Qinglong, the head of the Heavenly Gate, was captured, the entire Heavenly Gate was in chaos, and the reason for their chaos was not because the Heavenly Gate Sect was arrested, but because the other elders began to fight for power and profit, and all kinds of open and secret battles emerged one after another.
Today, because the disciples of Tianmen were shouted and killed in the whole world, these elders who were vying for power and profit finally put aside their hatred for the time being, and gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
"The head of the sect is a matter of my Tianmen's face, we should immediately welcome back the head of the sect and let the head of the sect preside over the overall situation. It was Zhang Chongrui who spoke, and he was Li Qinglong's most trusted person.
In the entire Tianmen, Li Qinglong is most at ease with only two people, one is Geng Qiusheng, and the other is Zhang Chongrui.
As soon as Zhang Chongrui's words came out, he was quickly opposed by the elders of Tianmen.
A white-bearded elder immediately said, "Li Qinglong, as the head of my Heavenly Gate, was captured by a young child, how can such a person be worthy of continuing to serve as my head of the Heavenly Gate?"
Following Elder Whitebeard's words, the elder with a black mole between his eyebrows on one side also immediately responded: "That's right, Li Qinglong has no ability, he can't even deal with a single Emperor Xin, so that Emperor Xin has made so many movements under our noses, causing my Heavenly Gate to be enemies before and after, such a person is not worthy of continuing to be the head of the sect." β
Except for a few who remained silent, most of the elders on the field meant the same as these two elders, and they all said that they would choose to be in charge.
Zhang Chongrui looked at these people, his face turned pale with anger, he stood up and pointed at everyone angrily: "You shameless people, for a little power, you actually abandoned the sect and lived and died, you are also worthy of being the elder of my Heavenly Gate?"
The elder with a black mole on his eyebrows immediately said after hearing this: "Zhang Chongrui, pay attention to the way you speak, what do you mean to wait for power? We all gather together for the good of Tianmen, for the future of Tianmen, Li Qinglong is incompetent, leaving such a mess, can't we still complain? Also, you say that we are for power? When Li Qinglong took over as the head of the sect, how many people did he harm for power?"
"That's right, Zhang Chongrui, we all know that you are Li Qinglong's lackey, and you share honor and disgrace with Li Qinglong, but you have to remember one thing, you are first and foremost a disciple of Tianmen, and then Li Qinglong's lackey!" Another elder stood up and loudly accused Zhang Chongrui, this elder looked at Zhang Chongrui in white with some jealousy.
In Tianmen, some people often compare his appearance with Zhang Chongrui in private, one is in the sky and the other is on the ground, this time has been a long time, and nothing else matters, this alone is enough to make him jealous of Zhang Chongrui.
The lackey was a natural insult Zhang Chongrui couldn't speak, and he almost couldn't help but draw his sword, if it weren't for the rescue of Li Qinglong, where would he still be here to swallow his anger and talk to these people.
However, in addition to some of his own forces that he is now leading in Tianmen, some disciples who are loyal to Li Qinglong are also considering him for the time being, hoping that he will rescue Li Qinglong, and most of them have already changed their faces and taken refuge under the command of other elders.
"Okay, everyone is the same door, don't say some things so ugly, Tianmen can't be without a principal for a day, then let's talk about our opinions, elect a new head as soon as possible, and stabilize the current situation. "It was the Whitebeard Elder who spoke, and he looked very gentle, with a smile that made people feel good.
Elder Whitebeard's words, except for Zhang Chongrui and a few elders who remained silent, were immediately unanimously agreed.
Elder Black Mole even stood up and said directly: "Everyone, in terms of qualifications and ability, who is better than Elder Qingyazi? β
As soon as Elder Black Mole said this, several elders immediately stood up to help: "That's right, Qing Yazi is my Tianmen's liver and brain, his dedication is in everyone's eyes, even some of the most ordinary disciples under the door also praise Qing Yazi for his sincerity, and often point out some disciples, he is the most popular elder among our disciples, so I also support Qing Yazi." β
"In the same way, I also support Qingyazi. β
"Seconded!"
"Agreed!"
Soon, there were more and more voices of support, and even some of the elders who were silent before saw the general trend, and they all expressed their positions, Zhang Chongrui saw this scene, and sighed in his heart, originally, the elders in the door were doing their own thing, and he could also take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and guide everyone to rescue Li Qinglong, but now it seems that these people have secretly reached an agreement and jointly recommend Qingyazi as the head of the sect.
He Zhang Chongrui's strength is weak, and the weight of his words is not enough, and now under the general trend, it is useless for him to resist.
Seeing that there were constantly elders standing up to speak for Qingyazi, Zhang Chongrui finally gave up and continued to insist, if most people agreed, if he insisted, he would definitely be the unlucky one in the end, but he hadn't given up yet, and said: "Since you all say so, then I don't object, but if you want me to be sincerely convinced, Qingyazi must rescue Li Qinglong, if he can do this, I will immediately bring people to support him as the head of the teaching." β
Zhang Chongrui never gave up his plan to rescue Li Qinglong, even if Qingyazi is now in charge, but he believes that Li Qinglong, as long as Li Qinglong can come out and return to Tianmen, with his ability, he will definitely be able to regain the position of head of the sect.
There were no fools here, almost everyone could guess Zhang Chongrui's purpose, they looked at each other, and in the end they didn't make a sound, but looked at Qing Yazi one after another, wanting to see what he said.
Qingyazi was full of spring breeze at this time, the situation was too favorable to him, and when he heard Zhang Chongrui's words at this time, he was not angry, but smiled gently, and smiled at Zhang Chongrui: "Okay, I promise you to rescue Li Qinglong." β
Qingyazi's promise surprised some people, but he didn't say much.
Qingyazi naturally has his own plans to do this, first, there are many elite disciples in the line led by Zhang Chongrui, and elite disciples are extremely difficult to cultivate, all of them are talents, and second, he Qingyazi also knows that although these elders are convinced of themselves now, no one will allow them in the future, if he refuses in person, I am afraid that many people will attack him with this topic at that time, saying that he is ruthless and unrighteous, and in order to take the position of the sect, he does not care about the friendship of his fellow disciples, so he has to guard against this hand, as for Li Qinglong, after he completely controls the situation in Tianmen, a little Li Qinglong is nothingγ
Seeing Qing Yazi agree, Zhang Chongrui also breathed a sigh of relief, didn't say anything, just nodded and retreated, he and the people here are not on the same page, and it is not interesting to stay, in addition, he also thought about how to deal with Qing Yazi's tricks in the future, if Qing Yazi dares to lie to him, he will go to knock on the door of the thirteen Supreme Elders, and ask them to come out to preside over the overall situation.
Until the last resort, no one wants to invite these thirteen ancestors, Li Qinglong doesn't want to, Qingyazi doesn't want to, all the elders don't want to, but Zhang Chongrui is different, the person who dies for his confidant, Li Qinglong treats him well, he naturally tries to rescue Li Qinglong, if Li Qinglong dies from Qingyazi's tricks, he naturally wants to get justice for Li Qinglong.
"Zhangjiao, did you really agree to Zhang Chongrui's request? If you really rescue Li Qinglong in the future, I'm worried about ......."
As soon as Zhang Chongrui walked on the front foot, the black mole elder immediately walked to Qingyazi's side and asked, he and Zhang Chongrui have a grudge, and Li Qinglong is Zhang Chongrui's backer, Li Qinglong is a person with real skills, he dances the happiest today, and he is naturally afraid that Li Qinglong will seek justice for Zhang Chongrui after he comes out and find trouble for himself.
When Qing Yazi heard this, he smiled gently, looked at Elder Black Mole, and comforted: "I know what you're worried about, don't worry, you are the first to support me, I naturally won't treat you badly, besides, although I promised to rescue Li Qinglong, but I only rescued him, and I don't care about life or death after being rescued." β
When Elder Black Mole heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, he looked at Qing Yazi thoughtfully, from Qing Yazi's words, he analyzed that this Qing Yazi was gentle on the surface, but in fact he was ruthless, I am afraid that after completing Zhang Chongrui's promise, he will attack Li Qinglong.

After Tianmen had just staged a battle between the open and the dark, in a certain mountain, the mountains were connected, the morning glow was thousands of miles, and the mountains and forests were covered with red makeup......
