Chapter 138
Chapter 138
Wang Shi and a group of people who want to love Tao are doing the trick of borrowing corpses to return souls, using the power of King Qi to dominate the world, and finally kill him, help his son, and the chess pieces of the Tao of Lust take the position. Over the years, King Qi has been surrounded by people who are full of lust, and since Zhou Yu was demoted, his own power has become weaker and weaker.
His former henchman is now either secretly communicating with the Dao of Lust, or he is simply under the command of the Dao of Lust.
In the world of martial arts, the forces of the rivers and lakes are so terrifying. Just because martial arts is also a resource, and it is also the kind of scarce resource related to strength, the person who masters this resource naturally has great power, and it is really normal to control a single Qi king.
Therefore, the founding ancestors of the past dynasties were all peerless masters, or they had peerless masters to help. Otherwise, you won't be able to subdue these forces! Relatively speaking, Hong Anyi, the king of Qi, is indeed as Li Changding said, congenitally limited, insufficient in quantity, and shallow in foundation, and no one has the appearance of a master!
Of course, the control of the Dao of Lust over King Hong Anyi is not smooth, and there are also several forces in the rivers and lakes that are only slightly inferior to the Dao of Lust to participate in the disputes of the Qi State and compete for power with the Dao of Lust.
However, the Tao of Lust relies on the King of Qi, and in the struggle against these forces, he has been in the upper hand all these years, and the reason why he cannot eliminate all his political enemies is because the King of Qi is not old and confused after all, and he knows some imperial tricks and knows the checks and balances between the left and right. The second is because the Dao of Lust deliberately shows weakness and confuses the King of Qi, so that the King of Qi has the idea that everything is under control, and it is better controlled.
Lust Dao can allow other forces in the Qi country to participate in political struggles, but they can't tolerate capable people who are loyal to the king of Qi to give advice by the side of the king of Qi, because the king of Qi is their biggest reliance and hole card to control the country of Qi, how can they allow mistakes!
What's more, Ling Xiao is a person who is both civil and military, knowledgeable, smart and wise, and his martial arts have entered the realm of transformation, he is a grandmaster level, and he has a number in the world, and even the master of the Dao of Lust is only a line higher than it!
In the past six months that Ling Xiao has been by King Qi's side, King Qi has gradually shown signs of getting out of control, and the most obvious sign is that in the past, King Qi met the big one before discussing with Prime Minister Wang Shi, and since Ling Xiao gained the trust of King Qi, many things were only discussed with Ling Xiao, and decisions were made and decisions made in a few words.
And Prime Minister Wang Shi is the most important line for the Dao of Lust to control the King of Qi, if there is a problem with this line, the influence of the Dao of Lust on the King of Qi will be abolished for the most part. It can be seen that the situation of lust at that time was really not good.
Therefore, the frontier is in trouble together, and Prime Minister Wang Shi immediately plays, please let Ling Xiao guard the frontier and calm the border trouble. At that time, King Qi hesitated for a while, and at the same time asked Ling Xiao's opinion.
Ling Xiao was born smart, wise and precocious, and sharp-eyed, although he has only been in the country for half a year, he has already seen that this King of Qi may not be called a puppet, but the palace and court of Qi have long been infiltrated and corroded by the Tao of Lust, and most of the personnel are out of the Tao of Lust, and then according to this situation, the King of Qi will become a puppet, it will be a matter of time.
However, the main purpose of Ling Xiao coming to the capital of Qi was to gain the trust of the King of Qi, what he really cared about was the people of the frontier, what did the King of Qi have to do with his life or death?
So, Ling Xiao said a good and wonderful rhetoric, with clear logic and clear organization, so that the King of Qi let him go back to the frontier with peace of mind, and also awarded him the position of the lord of Longcheng City and the commander of the 600,000 border army.
In the next few years, Ling Xiao guarded the border city, trained the soldiers, guarded the border and the people, and at the same time recruited talents, governed Longcheng, 600,000 border troops gradually became attached to the people, no one dared to disobey the commander's order, and the border residents lived and worked in peace and contentment.
During this period, the King of Qi tried to recruit Ling Xiao to return to the court several times, but the result was that on the one hand, Ling Xiao did not want to go back, and on the other hand, the forces of the court and China obstructed him. It's not just lust that is an eyesore to see Ling Xiao.
As a result, Ling Xiao guarded the border until now.
"Ling Xiao will not move, and we will not move, now let's see how several forces on the side of the imperial court of the national capital sing on stage!" Duanmu Cong tilted his head and said with a smile.
"yes. The stage has been set up, and it's up to them to sing the play. Li Changding looked in the direction of the capital of Northern Qi and smiled lightly, but unfortunately, no matter how lively this play is, it is just an empty scene in the end.
In the next few years, the capital of Qi was like a huge stage, and a force sang on it, singing one lively drama after another.
King Qi died, only three-year-old son ascended the throne as king, the next day in the court, King Qi's cousin Hong Cheng, who held a heavy army, was the first to disagree, and immediately jumped out to express his opposition.
It's a pity that the situation at that time, both inside and outside the palace were people with lust, the enemy was outnumbered, Hongcheng jumped out the earliest, and died the earliest, was beheaded in court, and his cronies around him were also killed for the crime of rebellion. Wang Shi immediately sent troops to attack Hongcheng's mansion and exterminate it.
The situation is stronger than people, and the powerful people in the DPRK and China all bow their heads and are willing to ascend the throne as the young lord.
Since the goal has been achieved, Wang Shi began to use the Huairou policy, wantonly increasing the number of officials and giving rich gold and silver to the ministers, in fact, it was a bright rise and a secret descent, which weakened the power of the people in the court little by little, increased his own strength, and at the same time constantly excluded dissidents.
For those generals who led the troops outside, Wang Shizhen was quiet, passed on the holy decree, added officials to knighthood, and had many generous rewards to appease the generals.
However, this was only temporary, after Wang Shi eliminated dissidents, the party fought against dissidents, and controlled the situation in the central court little by little, he began to erect butcher knives against the generals everywhere, and came up with various ways to kill or capture, making the entire Qi country uneasy.
Because on the day of King Qi's death, he took the opportunity to get rid of many powerful obstacles, and Wang Shi and other people of the Lust Dao had a righteous name, and all this went very smoothly.
Maybe it was the successive victories and the good situation that overwhelmed Wang Shi and the others, and he planned to clean up Ling Xiao as well.
No matter how powerful Wang Shi was in Qi before, Ling Xiao was the only one he didn't dare to start, because of his martial arts, but also because after all these years of operation, he has become a big trend, although rebellion is definitely not enough, but there is no way to deal with him, this is a hard bone to gnaw.
Now, this bone will be gnawed if you don't gnaw it!
Wang Shi borrowed the young master's will, and Ling Xiao returned to the palace to report on his work, planning to lay an ambush in the palace and capture one of the nets.
Faced with this will, Ling Xiao smiled indifferently, knowing that it would be more auspicious to go, but he had to go.
At this time, Wang Shi has already held the power of Qi in his hands, if he dares to resist the will and disrespect, Wang Shi can do his best at any time to kill the dragon city, at that time, it is a victory and a tragic victory, the loss of troops and generals, and don't forget that there are alien races outside the dragon city.
Besides, although Ling Xiao has been running Dragon City for many years, has been strict in governing the army, and loves soldiers like children, these 600,000 troops are not the only ones who obey his orders. In peacetime, when defending the homeland and defending the country, the natural military orders are like a mountain, and everything is obeyed, but against the army of Qi, at least half of the 600,000 army must escape. After all, most of their families are in China.
So, Ling Xiao received the order and returned to the national capital with 5,000 light horsemen.
