Baili Yu
The weak royal family and courtiers do not fully represent the weak descendants, and the hatred of the young people for the barbarians and the anger of the princes are converging in the military and military families. These teenagers are dissatisfied with the cowardice of adults, and there is an organization privately called "Xuantian Pavilion", intent on growing up to gain military power and wage war against the barbarians.
These young people have a strong spirit of great-power chauvinism and militarism, and often meet in secret. Among them, the most famous generals are Su Ye, Li Dangxin, Ye Wang and Ye Zheng, all of whom are the children of famous generals.
Under the strong oppression of the barbarians, they also have humiliating experiences and what they have seen and heard, which is close to the psychological imprint of Zhou Qing's so-called "barbarians have robbed our women".
"Xuantian Pavilion" and Zhou Qing alone were not enough to form the later storm, and the key figure was Bai Liyu, the young disciple of Qin Tianjian.
During the Fengyan period, the "seed" system of the Qintian Guardianship was forced to be interrupted after more than 200 years of safe implementation; Ironically, after the collapse of the "seed" system, the goal of the Qin Heavenly Prison, which was to weaken power and maintain balance, was achieved. It was the same person who interrupted the "seed" system and achieved Chenyue's goal - the later "Emperor" Baili Yu.
Baili Yu is such a legendary figure, he suddenly appeared in history, and finally quietly disappeared, and no one knows where he came from and where he ended up. If you compare the famous "Xuantian Pavilion" to a person in later generations, Ye Wang and Li Beware are his hands, Su Shen is his brain, Zhou Qing is his backbone, and Baili Yu is his soul. He found the unwilling Zhou Qing from the crowd, taught him the way of power and strategy, and helped him ascend to the throne, so to speak, he planned and witnessed the merits and glory of Emperor Wu of Zhou's life.
Baili Yu is a true Chenyue cultist, but when he was young, his belief in Chenyue had not been strengthened to the point of later, so he was still swayed by the kind of youthful ambition that set off the turbulent world. Like his later student Xiang Zhuang, he accepted the teacher's commission to "dedicate" himself to Tianyuan City to become a royal official, intending to reach the peak of power through this, but he didn't know that it was the first step of the "seed" plan. He was assigned to Taibu Jian as a secretary and was responsible for sorting out official documents. However, Li Zesi, who was in charge of the Taibu Prison, had not been to the court once for decades, and the entire Taibu Prison had nothing to record except for the daily accounts, and Baili Yu's work on weekdays was only bookkeeping and cleaning.
Li Zesi also did not often walk around the Taibu prison, and once he came over for ten days and a half months, he would nod his head and leave satisfied after taking a look at the corner of the wall, and he didn't even raise his eyes to look at the people in the prison. Baili Yu was doing nothing all day long in such a relaxed and idle environment, and could only go to the casino to hang out in his spare time, seeing that he was getting farther and farther away from the center of power, and he couldn't understand why an old man like Li Zesi, who seemed to be lazy and had no background, could gain the trust of Emperor Ren and subdue the secret warlocks of Qin Tianjian with the power of one person. The change occurred on a spring afternoon, the early spring sun made people lazy, and when the secretaries of the Taibu Prison were resting on the table, the Taibu Prison Li Zesi came to the Taibu Prison to inspect the circle "as usual". Bai Li Yu, who heard the sound of pushing the door, opened his eyes with his usual vigilance, raised his hand and touched the account book on the table to the ground. When Baili Yu got up and bent down to pick up the account book in an embarrassed posture, he unintentionally met Li Zesi's eyes, although it was only for a moment, he felt that time was infinitely long.
Li Zesi's pupils were deeply sunken in the squinted eye sockets, but Bai Li Yu seemed to see a shadow of himself that had expanded several times through a pair of pupils standing in front of him, and he froze there in horror for a moment, letting the wind blow through the account book and turn many pages through the door. Li Zesi seemed even more surprised, and only opened his mouth for a long time to say, "Tell me your name." There was an irresistible majesty in his voice. Perhaps the history of the future will be decided in this short moment when no one knows it.
After this day, Bai Li Yu was quickly promoted to Taibu Supervisor Lingshi, and served Li Zesi around, that is, on this day, Bai Li Yu faintly realized his mission and strength. In addition to lingering in the casino, Baili Yu often goes to a wine shop called "Greedy Cup" to drink, the owner of the tavern is a rootless woman with a faint Hokuriku blood, the environment of the hall is elegant, and it is close to the red light district, so business has always been good. There are many children of families who come here, so it is also one of the places where young children get to know each other β the other is naturally not far from the red light district. In fact, that is the meeting place agreed between Baili Yu's teacher and him, if Bai Li Yu shows up on time and the teacher is not there, it means that there is nothing special, Bai Li Yu will ask for a pot of Baihua Brew, a plate of fragrant beans, pour himself a drink, and leave alone after drinking. The idle life of the eunuch is suitable for such a pastime, and Baili Yu is like a sleeping hidden dragon, quietly hiding his revenge and ambition under a calm exterior, waiting for the right time to release them from the cage.
Bai Li Yu and Zhou Qing met on an ordinary summer night, and the street by the still water pool could smell a slight smell of fat powder, mixed with the aroma of wine in the greedy cup restaurant, exuding a frivolous and happy taste. Zhou Qing, who came out of the red light district, took a group of people to the greedy cup restaurant to "open his eyes", and was walking into the door, the drunken Lin Fang couldn't help but vomit Ye Zheng at the adjacent table, Ye Zheng, who had always been easy-going, just nodded and didn't care, his tolerance became weak in the eyes of Lin Fangye, who had always been rampant and domineering, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and Lin Fangye, who was still unsteady, loudly accused Ye Zheng of blocking his way, and insulted Ye Zheng and the people of Xuantian Pavilion at the same table with very vulgar market language.
Lin Fangye, who grew up in the market, naturally did not know that the children of the family were afraid of the Xuantian Pavilion, most of the Xuantian Pavilion were the children of the small clan or the second sons of the gate valve, although their status was not high, most of them were students of the Ji Palace, looking forward to relying on military merits in the future to shine on the lintel of the children, so the "combat effectiveness" was extremely strong, even if the sons of the powerful saw them, they often had to avoid, so there was a saying in the Ji Palace that "I would rather kill the brute dog than fight the Xuantian". Lin Fangye's provocative move immediately ushered in a response - a solid punch, the drunk Lin Fangye immediately flew out diagonally, and at the same time flew out with two teeth in his mouth.
Zhou Qing, who usually only pays the money, was unjustified at this time and was pushed out by the hooligans to negotiate, and he was not good at words, and before he could ask the identity of the other party, the two sides fought-the ruffians called the nearby brothers, and according to their principles, when the fist is hard enough, it is not reasonable, and they can beat the other party to the bottom and then reason with them. They were right, but they had calculated the wrong object - the generals who would be famous all over the world in the future used the black street to fight with a group of ruffians, and they were ruthless and merciless.
Alcohol ignited the wildness hidden in everyone's body, and the fight went from inside the store to outside the store, and everyone was red-eyed, not caring about the fists added to their bodies, not dodging or dodging just to inflict more damage on the other party. Bai Li Yu sat in the corner and quietly watched the chaos in front of him, and saw the fire burning in the hearts of these hooligan-like young people. He was especially shocked by Zhou Qing, and saw with his own eyes that this introverted and slightly shy teenager could suddenly draw his sword and fight a duel with others after drinking wildly, and after being knocked down, he stood up again and again. Baili Yu realized that the uneasiness and anger in the hearts of these young people were a manifestation of that great power, and these people could be used by him.
The latter thing can be described as a peak and a loop, as the city patrol Jin Wuwei approached, the two sides of the fight let go of their opponents and began to escape, Zhou Qing unexpectedly fled with the people of Xuantian Pavilion all the way. Under the siege and interception of Jin Wuwei, Zhou Qing and the others fled to a dead end, and when they saw that they would be taken to Jin Wei for detention, Baili Yu, who had been waiting here, was hidden in the darkness and used secret techniques to hide everyone's figures. Everyone waited for Jin Wuwei to disperse before they spoke, and the opponents in the previous fight had a little sympathy for each other at this time, and after communicating with each other's identities, they agreed to fight again another day, but this time the way of fighting became a wine fight.
Zhou Qing ignored Lin Fangye's dissuasion, and went to the banquet of Xuantian Pavilion alone as promised. He took turns fighting with Li Dangxin and Ye Wang and others at the banquet, and talked about the harm of barbarian locusts during the banquet, Zhou Qing thought of Mingyue, who was married to Beilu, and a bloody and brave spirit was stimulated, and he drank the entire jar of wine in one gulp, and the wine jar was shattered on the ground, and everyone at the table was shocked, and they all looked at this man with red eyes in a daze. The flames that had been suppressed for a long time burst out instantly, and the drunkenness fueled the rage, Zhou Qing vowed to "kill the barbarian dogs" at the banquet, and the majesty subdued everyone for a while.
Zhou Qing didn't know that this drinking party was just a test for Xuantian Pavilion, and the sudden outburst of this seemingly weak man and his desire to conquer Beilu all fell into the eyes of Su Shen, the "authentic" of Xuantian Pavilion, who was sitting in the corner. Su Shen was determined to pull this rumored frustrated prince into the Xuantian Pavilion, his hatred of the barbarians could make him fearless, which was in line with the Xuantian Pavilion's program of "bathing in blood with his body and dangering his sword".
Zhou Qing, who passed the "assessment" but didn't know it, began to appear frequently at various drinking parties in Xuantian Pavilion, and got to know many lower-level officers and students of Jigong, and the hot-blooded young people who attended the meeting were also moved by Zhou Qing's generosity and righteousness, and they couldn't wait to come to Beilu to kill the barbarians immediately. Zhou Qing finally found a fellow believer, and his fiery and sorrowful heart was also comforted in the bitter drinking song, but at this time, another incident happened, which had a huge impact on Zhou Qing. Zhou Qing's lowly mother was involved in a scandal in the palace. The matter of the queen's cultivation of the face was exposed, and the emperor vaguely knew about it. Emperor Zhou Ren set a trap to check the truth of this matter, and after the queen and her lover had a bad time, the lover went out of the palace but happened to meet Zhou Qing's mother, and was later caught by the palace attendants of Taiqing.
The abolition of the queen affected the rise and fall of the princes of various factions at this time, and Zhou Shen reacted immediately, first of all, to order the inner line in the palace and the first person to confess, and not to confess to the queen, and secondly, to measure the situation and decide to sacrifice Zhou Qing's mother, and put everything on her. Zhou Qing's mother was executed by Ling Chi for the great crime of "messing with the harem", but in fact, Zhou Qing, who was not close to his mother, suddenly woke up at this time and knew that the last person in his life who loved him was going to die. In order to keep his position, Zhou Shen repeatedly comforted Zhou Qing and said that he would definitely protect his status and glory in the future, and when he ascended the throne, he would immediately restore Zhou Qing's mother's reputation. However, when Zhou Qing saw his mother who had been chopped up and was finally waiting for him to see him for the last time, his grief and anger were enough to burn everything down.
The deepest self-blame and pain made Zhou Qing's heart extremely distorted, and he began to know his true status and identity, knowing his helplessness and pity. The heroic will and the ferocious revenge in his heart awakened at the same time, and he hid with a short knife in his drunkenness beside Zhou Shen's path with the intention of stabbing him. At this time, the person who changed history - Baili Yu - appeared, this person who seemed to have come out of the darkness knew everything in Zhou Qing's heart, and he asked Zhou Qing what was the greatest revenge. The greatest revenge that Bai Li Yu said was to defeat all his brothers, to intimidate the world with the dignity of a true emperor, and even to make the barbarians submit to his feet. Zhou Qing put away his knife and saluted deeply to Baili Yu.
What Baili Yu taught Zhou Qing was the word "power", without power, there would be nothing for the prince, and he could only be bullied. Baili Yu devised a huge plan for Zhou Qing, he wanted to train this young man from a frivolous and disrespectful waste to a real hero. He trained Zhou Qing in manners and conversation, and taught him to be comfortable among his brothers and courtiers. Baili Yu valued the power of Xuantian Pavilion, and Zhou Qing accepted the young people of Xuantian Pavilion with the ambition of conquering the barbarians, and they renamed themselves the "Imperial Party", intending to use this small alliance to obtain the imperial throne and military power.
The "Imperial Party" still operated outside the country under the name of "Xuantian Pavilion", and through their classmates studying at the "Jigong Guoshifu", they made friends with the young children of the family in a very extravagant way within the imperial capital, most of whom held intermediate and low-level positions in the Jinwuwei, but they were often not the eldest sons in the family, and were eager for military merit. In addition, in order to pay a high amount of worship to the barbarian tribes every year, the imperial treasury became increasingly empty, so he raised funds in the family, collected heavy taxes from merchants, and deducted the "Jingbian tax" from the army, and the soldiers who paid the "Jingbian tax" could reasonably stay in the imperial capital to defend and not fight when the war broke out, but in fact, in the context of corruption within the army, every soldier had to pay the Jingbian tax, and most of them were corrupted and deducted by high-level officials.
The anger of the middle and lower rank officers over the Jingbian tax made them look forward to a head-on war between a strong leader and the barbarians. Zhou Qing and his Xuantian Pavilion played precisely this role, ostensibly the participants of the Xuantian Pavilion were some idol young officers who were admired by the nobles and ladies, and they paid attention to etiquette and demeanor, and the aristocratic women could draw their swords to duel, hold a variety of social gatherings in the imperial capital, and all kinds of extravagant consumption. The ministers had no intention of hindering them, but they did not value them either. In fact, in private, the Xuantian Pavilion was a brotherhood or even a blood alliance, and they implemented a strict system, and they met in the tavern in private to discuss the adoption of some of the Jinwuwei as their companions, promising them that they would wage war against the barbarians in the name of the royal family, and military merit and title were not a problem.
The members were taught to be loyal to the Xuantian Pavilion even more than they were to their superiors and the country, and in return, they received a large amount of money and the promise of a future ascension to a high position. Under the planning of Baili Yu, Xuantian Pavilion skillfully used huge interests and the enthusiasm of young officers to establish a tighter organization than the army, and it was rare that this strictness was mostly voluntary rather than forced. The members of the Xuantian Pavilion knew that the object of their loyalty was the "Thirteen Princes", but many did not know who this prince was, and many members mistakenly believed that the core of the Xuantian Pavilion was a small group composed of thirteen princes, but despite this, this did not affect their loyalty to the Xuantian Pavilion, and the desire to conquer the Northern Continent and the temptation of high-ranking officials locked them like two snakes.
In the early stage, that is, before Zhou Qing and Bai Liyu officially intervened, Xuantian Pavilion was a group with a very simple goal. The young people believed that one day the old generation would be too old to take power, and the baton of power would fall into their hands, and they would just need to be prepared to accept it before they could start the war they had always dreamed of against the barbarians. Of course, power can also fall into the hands of a new generation of lords and factions who are not part of their group, and their main rivals are the children of families who are the same age as them but do not share war and strong diplomacy.
Therefore, the first responsibility of all Xuantian Pavilion members was to help the members of their own team gain power and status in the Jin Wuwei and Yulin Heavenly Army. For example, when a mid-ranking officer in the military has a vacancy and there are several candidates, all members of the Xuantian Pavilion will support the candidate who secretly joined the Xuantian Pavilion, and this support will affect the high-ranking officer who holds the position awarded.
If there are more than two candidates who are members of the Xuantian Pavilion, it is up to the leaders of the Xuantian Pavilion to determine whose promotion is more beneficial to the development of the Xuantian Pavilion. This method of organization was extremely effective on a small scale, and the Xuantian Pavilion became an unusually united interest group, rapidly climbing the ranks of the military. After Baili Yu intervened in Xuantian Pavilion, he immediately embarked on a reorganization. Because he realized that this kind of organization for the benefit of his peers could only be applied to small groups, and as their organization gradually expanded, internal contradictions would become prominent, and the leaders would not be able to coordinate. Baili Yu's new criterion for Xuantian Pavilion is - "coup d'Γ©tat".
Baili Yu is regarded as a peerless politician, which is inseparable from his personal gambling nature. As a follower of Qin Tianjian, Baili Yu was supposed to be a lifelong pursuit of being an emissary of the gods, but he was surprisingly a frequent visitor to a casino. When he was working as a servant, he would spend all his savings on gambling, and he would always analyze the odds of winning and bet all his bets on small chances, intending to get great gains. He is a reputable and elegant gambler, from losing to not knowing a penny until he flips his luck and wins back twice his gambling bankroll, he always has a faint smile and bets without mercy.
Baili Yu seems to see gambling as a kind of training for his own heart, and this gambler's mentality under the control of extreme intelligence is also applied to politics by him. From the beginning, he expected that with the resources and time in his hands, he would no longer be able to break through the joints between the important ministers of the royal family and the princes, so that they would turn to support Zhou Qing.
If he wants to win a game that he would have lost, he can only take a risk and bet all his bets on these young people. So there was only one thing he planned, which was the imperial capital coup. Baili Yu used a large amount of money from secret income to open the way and distribute annuities to the members of Xuantian Pavilion. Members of the Xuantian Pavilion enjoy considerable incomes according to the number of years they have been in the army, and if they are killed or injured in the war, the secret consortium of the Xuantian Pavilion will arrange for his family to be bereaved. If his death or injury was due to the execution of Xuantian Pavilion's special mission, this pension would be surprisingly generous.
At the same time, the way that Su Shen and Li Dangxin pioneered to support their companions to gain power was also preserved and carried forward, and for young people who had just joined the army, joining or not joining Xuantian Pavilion had a great impact on his future, even a world of difference. In the end, the members of the Xuantian Pavilion have become a kind of glory for the young officers, and those who do not join are either people with extremely strong family backgrounds who do not have to rely on the strength of the Xuantian Pavilion for promotion, or they may be fools who are stubborn. Xuantian Pavilion also has a stern side, anyone who turns his back on him, if he does not harm his companion, will be abandoned by the group, and if he hurts his companion or leaks his secret, there may be punishment to come.
Baili Yu's criterion for the members of Xuantian Pavilion is only six words: "no fight", which means not to compete with his companions for promotion and power; "Do not renounce" means that at a critical juncture, the execution of the orders of the Xuantian Pavilion is higher than the execution of the orders of the army commander, and no one must turn his back on his companions under any circumstances; "No worries" means that the upper echelons of the Xuantian Pavilion will do their best to take care of the member, and if the member dies, he will take care of his family. The guidelines set by Baili Yu are all preparing for a mutiny that will sweep the imperial capital. The huge expenditure to support Xuantian Pavilion made Baili Yu also have to value the power of money, so he first made Zhou Qing master the waterway resources that the other brothers did not care about through his father, and Zhou Qing controlled the "maritime superintendent" who was responsible for exterminating pirates and controlling shipping.
However, he did not really exterminate the pirates, but instead indulged them and profited from them, and he used this waterway resource to reach an exchange agreement with the Wanzhou Chamber of Commerce, and privately allowed the smuggling transaction between the Wanzhou Chamber of Commerce and the barbarians, and obtained a large amount of financial support from the Wanzhou Chamber of Commerce. Zhou Qing and Bai Liyu went to Wanzhou, which had been set up by the Chamber of Commerce, and in the luxurious talks, they gradually went deep into the core of the Chamber of Commerce, and finally won the unanimous approval of the owner of the Ten Cities Chamber of Commerce, and they met the host of the Wanzhou Chamber of Commerce, Jiang.
The head of the Jiang family was very impressed with Zhou Qing's ambition to conquer the barbarians, believing that it would bring huge trade benefits, and Zhou Qing promised to replace the princes' tax law with "national tax" after ascending the throne, and the Wanzhou Chamber of Commerce could directly pay taxes to the royal family in the form of a fixed tax, and the huge tax difference would give the Wanzhou Chamber of Commerce great freedom. After Zhou Qing promised a future sea power trade and national tax law, the entire Wanzhou Chamber of Commerce established a strong alliance with Zhou Qing, the declining prince.
After receiving financial support, the young people of Xuantian Pavilion made it easier for them to operate in the army with money, and established a huge scout organization, spreading an invisible network to the entire Yulin Heavenly Army and even the armies of the vassal states. At this time, Zhou Qing's brothers were still busy with the important ministers and princes, hoping to win the final battle for the throne. However, Baili Yu deliberately did not take the initiative to win over the princes and important ministers, and the strategy he set from the beginning was that the war for the throne would only take place in the imperial capital, and a decisive battle would be enough for them to achieve everything.
In the name of the "Thirteen Princes", power converged from the middle and lower classes of Jin Wuwei to the hands of Zhou Qing, who was the idol of the young people, but was spurned by the old high-ranking people. And as the behind-the-scenes manipulator of all this, Baili Yu himself is also inspired by the ambitions of these young people. He became more and more convinced of the value of these young people, and began to gradually turn his back on the teachings of Qin Tianjian, and the power of "building a great deed" began to override the existence of God in Baili Yu's heart.
In this process, Zhou Qing always obeyed his brother Zhou Shenzhi on the surface, and was regarded as a lackey under Zhou Shen. And the death of his mother and the desire for power have completely changed the young man. Zhou Qing has made all the preparations, and when he gains power, he will establish an unprecedented peaceful country, and Kyushu will be everywhere in the territory of this country.
Because Baili Yu's teacher was jealous of Li Zesi, and Bai Li Yu was with Li Zesi, he didn't often contact Bai Li Yu. This approach gives Baili Yu a lot of space. Bai Li Yu's plans in Xuantian Pavilion made his teacher feel that he was gradually drifting away from the path of Qin Tianjian, who only regarded power as a means to accomplish his ends, but Bai Li Yu seemed to have gone too far in the path of power. What made his teacher feel that Baili Yu was gradually getting out of control was Li Zesi's appreciation of Bai Li Yu, and he was both angry and powerless about Bai Li Yu's ambition.
Bai Li Yu's teacher repeatedly persuaded Bai Li Yu to leave Xuantian Pavilion, but he was refused. According to the principle of "responsibility", the tutor is jointly and severally liable for the student's actions, and fearing that he will be punished for Baili Yu's actions, his teacher decides to get rid of Bai Li Yu to prevent future troubles. Bai Li Yu had long felt the dissatisfaction of his mentor, and when he saw the murderous eyes of his mentor when he left, he had the same thoughts as his teacher. As usual, Baili Yu's teacher came to the Greedy Cup Pavilion to wait, intending to take Baili Yu to a secluded place to kill him after the meeting. What he didn't expect was that Bai Li Yu had already planted his eyeliner in the Greedy Cup Pavilion to monitor his every move. Baili Yu let the eyeliner be drugged in the tea, and then appeared to follow the teacher to a secluded place, and deliberately showed weakness in the middle of his speech, so that the teacher felt that he was very scared.
Baili Yu took the lead in hiding his figure, and his teacher thought that he wanted to escape, so he hurriedly blocked the intersection, but he didn't expect Bai Li Yu to suddenly appear behind him and kill him. After Apocalypse's contacts discovered that Baili Yu's teacher was missing, Qin Tianjian sent someone to track down his "seed". But Baili Yu is very deeply hidden, and he is hiding in the Taibu Prison, and the Qin Tianjian forces are difficult to reach. As time passed, Baili Yu's teacher still did not hear from him, and Tian Yuan's contact person had to ask for help from the "Silence" Department and admit that he was derelict in his duties.
After the "Silence" Department intervened, they quickly searched for the body of Baili Yu-sensei, and identified from the corpse that he had died under his own secret technique, so it was deduced that his student had killed him. Qin Tianjian issued a "kill order" to Baili Yu, and all the "seeds" lurking in Tian Yuan received orders from their respective teachers to find Baili Yu and kill him, although they did not know that Baili Yu was once the same "seed" as them. For Qin Tianjian, Baili Yu was just a "seed", and they misjudged the power that Bai Li Yu possessed and mastered.
Baili Yu intuitively felt that Qin Tianjian had other forces in Tianyuan, and the identity of Taibu Prison Lingshi gave him the convenience of private investigation. So a race to the death began, and the hidden Baili Yu and the other Qin Heavenly Prison seeds all wanted to find each other and get rid of each other quickly. Bai Li Yu, who had the contact information of Qin Tianjian, skillfully used some false information to get Qin Tianjian to identify a Taibu prison clerk as a suspect, and successfully used this person to lure out the seeds of Qin Tianjian, and he secretly wrote down their identities in order to prepare for his further actions.
While the other seeds regretted finding the wrong target, Baili Yu had already planned to kill them all. In the course of their previous investigation of the Divination Supervisor's secretary, the Seeds had become more or less aware of the existence of this group, and some had even become acquainted with each other and exchanged information. Of course, this is also a step in Baili Yu's plan. After careful consideration, he chose to target the Greedy Cup, a place where he had left too many traces, and the time was chosen in the time of the carnival.
"Why did you give up the hunt for him? It was not difficult to kill him. "He thought he was out of God's control, but he was just walking in the path that God had chosen for him."
In the eyes of the rulers of the Qin Heavenly Prison at that time, the Eastern Continent was already too weak, and the people were desolate and depraved under the perfect rule of law, but they acted in an orderly manner, and the power of the gods affected the land to make it more and more peaceful. And to awaken the existence of the gods in the hearts of mankind requires an earth-shaking war. And Qin Tianjian has been lurking for a long time, and it is precisely when he acts for this purpose. At that time, after two hundred years of incubation, Qin Tianjian had already spread its branches, gradually restored its old outlook, and accumulated a group of strength. The loss suffered on the night of the Greedy Cup Pavilion was not the biggest one, and the Qin Tianjian only lost some peripheral members, and there was not much damage at all.
After the night of the Greedy Cup Pavilion, Qin Tianjian's other "seeds" in Tianyuan were all wiped out, and the "Silence" Department finally found out that Baili Yu was the mastermind hiding behind the scenes, and Qin Tianjian wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible. The Great Pope stopped the order to hunt down Baili Yu, and he saw in this young disciple of Qin Tianjian a dedication to his goals, success at any cost, and the ability to match ambition. He believed that what Bai Li Yu did would eventually bring about the changes that the Celestial Gods wanted, both in the Eastern Continent and within the Qin Heavenly Prison, so the Great Pope secretly observed Bai Li Yu's every move through the "Silence" Department and secretly supported it.
Bai Li Yu's revenge from the Qintian Supervisor Sect that Bai Li Yu was always on guard against did not come, and he was more active in the activities of Xuantian Pavilion in his caution, planning everything for Zhou Qing.
The Xuantian Pavilion was originally a secret group of students from the Ji Palace. It later became the most famous group in the palace, and even gradually formed a small military and political force, which the founders did not expect.
According to some scattered records, at first, because the founders of Xuantian Pavilion, Su Shen and Li Dangxin, obtained a large amount of money when they were chasing down merchants who illegally sold tobacco fruits, they did not think about how to deal with this money, so they deposited it in the money bank opened by the Wanzhou Chamber of Commerce in the imperial capital, and they falsely claimed that the money was saved by the annuity of a group of teachers in the Jigong Palace, which was allocated by the emperor's inner treasury and needed to be saved for future use, and they even got a certificate issued by the person in charge of the Jigong at that time. In this document, this so-called "Jigong Teacher Group" is called "Gentenkaku." β
This is how the Xuantian Pavilion was established, and Su Shen and Li Beware constantly used this money to accept young family warriors who shared their aspirations. Thus laying the foundation of the Xuantian Pavilion. Their "common aspiration" refers to the "northern expedition of the barbarians". The young samurai longed for this battlefield and became increasingly dissatisfied with the royal family's weak attitude towards the Northern Barbarians. Before Emperor Wu of Zhou ascended the throne, the scorching anticipation of war prevailed in the Ji Palace, and the students scolded the imperial ministers in private meetings, longing for a strong leader who could use the power of the imperial dynasty to end all disputes with the barbarians by war. This kind of rumor reached the ears of the imperial ministers, and they were also uneasy, so more and more officers were transferred from the Yulin Heavenly Army to Jigong as instructors, trying to suppress these young people who were overwhelmed by their blood. But this behavior only exacerbated the students' resentment.
However, the students of the palace are not a uniform group. They have all kinds of small groups in private, and although they are all dissatisfied with the status quo, they each have their own set of theories, and they don't look down on each other. They drank and scolded in the taverns on the streets, and they would fight with each other through drinking, and they were a very headache for young people. And Xuantian Pavilion stands out among these small groups for two reasons, firstly, Su Shen and Li Xin are two leaders who cooperate very well in terms of personality and behavior, and no other group has such a solid core as them, and these two people do have superhuman foresight for war and politics, and their desire for the battlefield is not comparable to others;
Secondly, Su Shen and Li Jing were indeed rich, and that secret fund made Xuantian Pavilion appear in various small groups, known for its wealth and heroism, attracting a lot of young people. The way the Xuantian Pavilion is organized. In the early days, the so-called organization of Xuantian Pavilion was nothing more than a private gathering in a tavern. Xuantian Pavilion from time to time in various famous taverns in Apocalypse City to entertain young family officers. Visitors do not need to pay the bill, but they need to be introduced by the members of the Xuantian Pavilion, and the banquet is known for its luxury, and drinking is accompanied by free conversation.
The host of the banquet was secretly observing the attitude and demeanor of the guests, and if he thought that the guests might be like-minded, he would convey the news to the leaders of the Xuantian Pavilion. The leaders would privately gather information about this guest to determine if he met the requirements of the Xuantian Pavilion. If this level is passed, the guests will receive an invitation from the Xuantian Pavilion again, and this time, the leaders of the Xuantian Pavilion will appear at the wine table. If this banquet also passed smoothly, and the guest had already been included in the development list of Xuantian Pavilion without his knowledge, he would continue to receive invitations from Xuantian Pavilion to participate in banquets of various names, and the members of Xuantian Pavilion would observe him from different angles during the banquet, and if he did not expose obvious weaknesses, he would receive a formal invitation, which was often a very confidential one.
Successive kings have had ambivalent attitudes towards the mystics, hating the outlanders who were outside their rule, and fascinated by the mystical magicians for their mysteries. As early as the time of the Minister, there were courtiers to make friends with secret warlocks and practice Taoism as fashionable, and legend has it that there would be a secret warlock by the side of the important ministers at that time as a staff member to protect the lord from the influence of other secret warlocks.
The open and secret battles of the mystical warlocks in Tianyuan City provided a lot of material for the gods and monsters of the Eastern Continent, but in general, the mystical warlocks were not regarded as a threatening existence, at most they could only be regarded as a good stage effect in the flashy political drama of the ministers. However, when Qin Tianjian, who had mastered the powerful secret arts, openly stepped into the court and showed the power of the gods and stars to the entire Jiuzhou, and showed their mysteries and power to the world, no emperor or prince dared to underestimate the power of the secret arts, and tried to firmly grasp this alien power in his own hands.
The princes and emperors all tried to control this powerful force that could overturn the world, but the Qin Heavenly Eunuch hid perfectly in the shadows, and the other mystics were careful to hide from the world.
However, the mystics were well aware of their guilt, and rarely used them in public, let alone as occultists. There are few real mystic masters under the emperor and the princes, most of them are mystical practitioners who have just glimpsed the mysteries, and they are essentially in a state of powerlessness for the supervision of mystical magicians.
During the Yanmu period, the agency responsible for monitoring the activities of the mystic sorcerers in the royal domain was the Divination Office under the Bongjoji Temple. The legal duty of the Divination Department is to "control the law of divination and use it by the Divination Family", because most of the mystics are astrologers, and because of their similar duties, the Divination Department is entrusted with the duty of secretly monitoring the activities of the mystics. This work is usually extremely fruitless, and with the ability of divination and divination, most of the so-called "occultists" they can find are charlatans under the guise of occultism; True mystical sorcerers are rarely detected, and when they do, they quickly disappear from the Divination Agency's field of vision.
Until the appearance of Li Zesi, among the many popular scripts in Tianyuan, one of them tells the heroic story of a certain free prince and a young secret sorcerer from Chu in the last years of Zhou Wen wandering the Eastern Continent and slaying demons.
