Chapter 20 The Beaulieu Stick
The ministers all thought that Wang Yilong, the king of Zhennan, was menacing this time and would not spare the Yang family. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
He now has two coiling dragon sticks in his hands, one red and one cyan. These two sticks are in his hands, and it is not an exaggeration to say that half of the country is in his hands.
Back then, Kikige wanted to get good weapons for her four disciples. Qiqige went down the mountain and spent two hundred taels of silver, invited eight craftsmen, and secretly went up to Panlong Mountain, behind the Purple Pavilion, seven Panlong trees cultivated by Panlong Dao Chang for many years, with different colors, composed of seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.
Kikige knew that the stakes were high, and sooner or later it would be revealed. But in order to take revenge on her ex-husband, that is, the emperor Battell, she ordered eight craftsmen to take turns sawing day and night, and it took a total of 7749 days to sawed down the red, yellow, green, and purple four dragon trees. This was a big surprise to her ten-day expectations.
Kikige knew that these trees were very strong, and her master Huang Yiyun had told her that this Panlong tree only grows in Panlong Mountain, and it is not easy to live.
Every spring, the saplings of the dragon trees are all over the mountains, but few can survive. Because this dragon wood is different from other trees, in the half year that the sapling comes out, it cannot receive sunlight for a long time, and can only receive sunlight for two hours. Nor can it receive rain, it can only receive dewdrops.
Half a year later, as long as such conditions are met, it can survive, but it grows very slowly.
It took ten years of experimentation to cultivate these seven trees. It is now forty-nine years old, but it is only the thickness of a woman's wrist.
In order to motivate the eight carpenters to work hard, in addition to the abundant three meals a day, Kikige also gave an additional 160 taels of silver to encourage the eight carpenters.
Kikige didn't dare to be greedy, she didn't see them all, she left three dragon trees for the Taoist.
Qi Qige carefully polished the four dragon woods and sent them to the four disciples, the eldest Zhao Yuanling used red, the second Li Ju used yellow, the third Wang Yilong used cyan, and the fourth Chen Jing used purple.
The four disciples selected by Qiqige are all martial arts skills, and the four of them spent two years mastering Qiqige's ancestral stick technique. This stick method is weird, and it beckons people to the death hole. Smashing and splitting and spurring, sticks passing everywhere, rustling leaves, and dusty paving. Coupled with the unique firmness of the dragon stick, the knife touches the knife and breaks, the gun touches the gun, and the hammer flies.
Kikige himself didn't expect that the coiling dragon stick would be so powerful. No wonder when Panlong Dao is long, it is regarded as a treasure.
Qi Qige was glad that the nine-tailed fox took advantage of the absence of the head of the Panlong Dao and secretly went down the mountain, otherwise, she would not have been able to get close to the Panlong Pavilion. With the ability of the nine-tailed fox, she will not be touched at all.
The four disciples of Qiqige, with this dragon stick and the strange stick method, entered the palace to strangle the harem beauties that Qiqige hated, and arrested Battle, as if they were in a no-man's land.
After the death of the elder brother Zhao Yuanling, his wife Wang Xinhui handed over the red dragon stick to his younger brother, that is, Wang Yilong, the king of Zhennan.
After the death of his eldest brother Zhao Yuanling, Wang Yilong proposed to go to southern Xinjiang, and he also settled his home in southern Xinjiang.
Back then, there were even people in the court who talked about it, saying that the emperor Li Ju gave Wang Yilong, the king of Zhennan, the right to cut first and then play, and he was completely afraid of the two coiling dragon sticks.
This cannot be taken seriously.
Let's say that before Wang Yilong returned to the capital, he had already reported it quickly. Emperor Li Ju personally took the minister of civil and military affairs to the south gate to greet him.
In the gale, outside the south gate, Wang Yilong slowly came out of the car, his arms white. His followers were all dressed in linen and filial piety.
"Third brother, you are finally here, the fourth brother was killed!" The emperor had a big belly, bent down with great difficulty, hugged Wang Yilong, and wept bitterly.
The two cried for a while, and Wang Yilong hugged Li Ju, with red and swollen eyes.
"The emperor mourns, the fourth brother is reckless, I have persuaded him in the past, but he just has no memory! Now it has ended up like this. ”
"It's all my fault, I didn't take good care of him, please punish the third brother!"
"Your Majesty, these words have tormented me. I received a flying pigeon biography in southern Xinjiang, saying that when the fourth brother was raided, the emperor was not in Beijing, how could this be your fault? ”
"Yes, if I am here, who would dare to be so vicious to the fourth brother!"
Li Ju took Wang Yilong's hand and walked back.
The ministers met him at the door, and knelt on the spot.
"The ministers are here to wait for the return of King Nan, King Nan has worked hard all the way, please say hello to King Nan!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, please get up!"
The ministers got up, dusted off the dirt from the crooks of their legs, and stood on either side.
Yang Tong was dressed in linen and filial piety, covered with thorns, and walked towards the emperor and the king of the south from the door, knelt down, spread his hands, and fell to the ground.
"Yang Tong, the son of the criminal minister, respectfully invite Nanwang Da'an!"
"Lord Yang, please hurry up, why do you make such a big gift?"
"Lord Wang, my father committed such a big crime, and he committed suicide in prison last night, the son of the guilty minister, I am willing to be punished on behalf of my father, and it is all up to the prince to deal with it!"
King Zhennan hurriedly stepped forward, picked up Yang Tong, personally took down the thorns for him, and threw them away.
"I've heard about the court. Lord Yang can understand the righteousness and fight with his father on the basis of reason, which makes this king admire. Lord Yang, don't blame yourself, the responsibility lies with the prime minister, and it has nothing to do with you! ”
King Zhennan held Yang Tong's hand and comforted him a little. Fu turned to Li Judao again.
"Your Majesty, I have been defending in southern Xinjiang for many years, and floods in the south have been flooding every year, and many beggars have flowed into my northern country, which is inevitably mixed with the meticulous work of the southern country, probing the military situation of my northern country, and damaging the reputation of my northern ministers, and the rebellion of the king of the east, it is inevitable that they did it, can the emperor find out?"
"The king of the east is dead, and the envoy of the southern kingdom who colluded with the king of the east was killed by Yang Ji, and now there is only a letter from the king of the east to the emperor of the southern kingdom."
"Has the emperor ever compared? But it's the handwriting of the East King? ”
"I have been back in Beijing for many days, and the first thing is to implement this matter, and after the paper and ink I took from the fourth brother's mansion, it is indeed very similar. However, after two days of comparison, this letter was not written by the East King, but someone realistically imitated the fourth brother's handwriting and deliberately framed the fourth brother! ”
"Can't the average person see it?"
"Don't talk about ordinary people, even after I saw it, I was convinced that it was written by the fourth brother. But how could I believe that the fourth brother would rebel? Back then, you and the fourth brother repeatedly gave in, not to give up the position of emperor to me. If the fourth brother rebelled, wouldn't it be more than that? I'm also annoyed, third brother, this time I come back, I won't be the emperor, it's better for you to do it! Even if it's for the second brother, I'm worried about it! Second brother, thank you! ”
"Second brother, what do you say? I think that at the beginning, you are the most suitable to be the emperor, you are brave and strategic, how can you compare with me and my fourth brother. If you want me to take command and lead the troops to fight, I am not ambiguous about this, and I am indeed better than you. If you want me to be the emperor, I am afraid that the south country will not call, and the north country will have civil strife. How can I have the ability of you to govern the country? I know best how well I know how to govern the country and let the people live and work in peace and contentment, which is not what I am good at. And the fourth brother is brave and unscrupulous, he is stronger than both of us, if he is said to be the emperor, I am afraid that all the civil and military officials will abandon the official and go home to farm Luo, who will obey him? ”
Li Ju took Wang Yilong's hand.
"The third brother is too modest!"
"I heard that the fourth brother's sons and daughters have run away, I wonder if the emperor sent someone to look for it?" Wang Yilong didn't answer the emperor's words, he changed the subject.
"On the day I returned, I had already ordered that all local officials immediately send people to look for me, even if it was the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, I had to go out to find it until I found it."
"The emperor is still thoughtful!"
Wang Yilong smiled, his eyebrows swept between his eyebrows with imperceptible worry.
"Your Majesty, I don't know where the fourth brother's tomb is?"
"The tombs of the fourth brother and sister-in-law have been moved to the royal cemetery by me. The three generals and their families were also given burials. ”
"Oh!" Wang Yilong sighed, thought for a while, raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, I want to go and talk to the fourth brother alone!" ”
"Well, when I returned to the capital, I stayed alone for the sake of the fourth brother for a long time. Come on, send the third brother to the royal mausoleum! ”
