Chapter 692: Heavenly Master's language is so suspicious
Zhang Guoxiang suddenly entered Beijing at this juncture, and he is so familiar with the current situation, it can be seen that he has been paying attention to every move in the court.
As I said earlier, Zhang Guoxiang is one of the few Taoists who has entered the court as an official, and it is understandable to pay more attention to the trend of the court situation.
However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was able to break through Li Mi's intentions, but he was not just paying attention, but was always peeping!
When he mentioned the Taiping Order, Li Mi was also nervous, after all, whether the Taiping Order was in the court or in the rivers and lakes, it was an extremely obscure secret, and ordinary people could not know it.
Zhang Guoxiang, as the fiftieth generation of the Heavenly Master of the Zhengyi Sect and the head of Longhu Mountain, has great powers, and it is not surprising that he knows the Taiping Order, what really surprised Li Mi is that he did not hide his desire for the Taiping Order!
In this secret, those who can get the Taiping Order can control the situation in the world and become a hidden dragon in the darkness, which is enough to change the world!
Zhang Guoxiang's coveting of the Taiping Order, can it show that he also has the ambition to compete for the world in his heart? Or is he a decent dragon head, just to protect the Taiping Order so that it does not fall into the hands of evil people?
Li Mi did not expect to get an answer from the question, because Zhang Guoxiang's expression also said everything.
Faced with Li Mi's undisguised question, Zhang Guoxiang just raised his eyelids slightly, took a sip of tea slowly, and then said to Li Mi.
"You know that the Taiping Order is divided into two, but I don't know what the origin of these two and a half Taiping Order is, so let me tell you about it in detail."
"At that time, the Taiping Road fell apart, and the Taiping Order was divided into two, one was the Yang Order, and the other was the Yin Order."
"The Yang Decree has always been in the hands of the righteous path, and under the blue sky and white sun, it can command the heroes of the world and maintain the righteous path of justice in the world, and sometimes it will fall into the hands of the emperor."
"Since the Taizu fought the mountains and rivers together and created the prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Ling has always been in the Zhu family of the royal family!"
"The Yang Order is in the hands of the Emperor? In other words, this yang order is now in Zhu Yijun's hands? Hearing such a secret news, Li Mi was also shocked!
As for the other half, that is, the Yin Decree, it is easy to infer that it should be controlled by an evil person who cannot see the light.
Such as the Heroes Society, the Taiping Dao, and even the White Lotus Sect, etc., are all competing for this Yin Order, whoever can get the Yin Order, can gather these wicked people and become the Demon King of the underground!
In fact, it is not difficult to imagine that for more than 100 years, the Qunying Society should have controlled the Yin Order, but after the Qunying Society was divided, Taiping Dao took advantage of the weakness and took away the Yin Order.
Zhang Guoxiang's next narrative also confirmed Li Mi's conjecture that Taiping Dao and Qunying would be the biggest force camp in the fight for the Yin Order, and they would also be the most difficult enemies.
Thinking about it at this time, Zhou Yu entered the palace to assist Zhu Yijun, but the purpose is not so simple, maybe he wants to take the opportunity to take away Zhu Yijun's yang order, or simply destroy the yang order, which is also very likely.
"The emperor burned Zhengyangmen, perhaps in order to make you a righteous official, but Poor Dao dared to assert that in addition to Zhengyangmen, he would continue to burn Shenwu and other three gates, and the time would become more and more frequent!"
As soon as Zhang Guoxiang's words came out, Li Mi's mood was even more complicated, not that Zhang Guoxiang was about to tell the secret of the Yang Order, or the real reason and intention of Zhu Yijun to burn the palace gate.
It's because Zhang Guoxiang even knew that Zhu Yijun burned Zhengyangmen in order to revive Li Mi, you must know that this was yesterday, except for Li Mi and Zhu Yijun, the only person who knows is Lu Jiamao!
This also means that even if Lu Jiamao is not a secret agent planted by Zhang Guoxiang next to Zhu Yijun, he will definitely report to Zhang Guoxiang!
Thinking of the death of an emperor like Lu Jiamao, he was so deeply implicated in Zhang Guoxiang, and if it weren't for Zhang Guoxiang's lax defense at this time, let Li Mi figure it out, I'm afraid that no one would know about this relationship!
Even if Zhang Guoxiang covets the Taiping Order, it cannot be said that he is a heinous bad person.
But because of this layer, Li Mi had to think carefully about many things, and after pondering for a moment at this time, he finally asked Zhang Guoxiang.
"How can Shizun be sure that the emperor will set fire to the building again?"
Zhang Guoxiang stared at Li Mi meaningfully, and only said for a long time: "Because the Taiping Order is a magic weapon full of spirituality, whether it is a Yang Order or a Yin Order, it can corrode people's hearts, if the holder is not strong-willed, the Taiping Order will take advantage of the void to enter, throughout the dynasties, but whoever holds the Taiping Order and refuses to let go, in the end did not get a good end......
"Will the Taiping Order erode people's hearts?"
Although Zhang Guoxiang said it mysteriously, Li Mi can also understand that the Taiping Order is a treasure that is enough to command the world, and the symbolic meaning is actually greater than the actual effect.
After all, this thing has been hidden, and many heroes don't know who the holder is, and the holder doesn't even dare to announce this, so who can he order?
Once you take out the Taiping Order to summon the heroes of the world, then these heroes will all know that you are the holder, and what you will attract will inevitably be bloody killings!
Of course, if everyone knew that the Yang Order had always been in the imperial court and in the hands of the emperor, perhaps the desire for contention would not be so strong.
Because when manpower is poor, no matter how great a person's ability is, can he compete with the emperor for things?
Therefore, the symbolic meaning of the Taiping Order is actually much greater than the actual effect, not to mention that Zhu Yijun, a Supreme of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, does not want to watch the Taiping Order fall into the world, and attaches too much importance to the Taiping Order, and it is inevitable that it will affect judgment in his later years or when his will is depressed, which is also reasonable.
This is also the most scientific explanation that Li Mi can think of, and he never believes that there are really any evil things or souls living in this Taiping Order.
However, Zhang Guoxiang's words were conclusive, and Li Mi was not easy to refute on the spot, so he just asked Zhang Guoxiang: "So the master wants me to help you obtain the Yang Order of the Taiping Order?" ”
Zhang Guoxiang did not hide it, and said to Li Mi: "The emperor has been in the palace for a long time, even if I enter the palace to serve, it is already a fairy means to prolong my life for three years and five years, if it doesn't work, my Zhang Guoxiang's reputation will be discredited, and it will be even more difficult to involve Longhu Mountain, so the risk of entering the palace is self-evident." ”
"But even if he makes a move, His Majesty the Emperor may not be able to get better, at most, he will hang this life, and gradually weaken, then it will be the weakest time in his life, if he can't withstand the erosion of the yang order, and do some crazy things, I am afraid that the whole world will suffer, and I have to guard against it......"
Although Zhang Guoxiang showed at this time that he tried his best to move closer to the direction of the Yang Ling Guardian, Li Mi was still not very relieved.
Because Zhang Guoxiang and Lu Jiamao colluded, and even Zhu Yijun was kept in the dark about all this, it was really unsightly.
It's very difficult to see that the most trusted person around the emperor has also committed the crime of bullying the king, but the emperor doesn't know anything about it, if Lu Jiamao wants to do something terrible, who can stop it?
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy Li Mi became, and Zhang Guoxiang could already see it, so he frowned and asked Li Mi.
"You can't trust a teacher?"
Li Mi looked at Zhang Guoxiang and didn't answer positively, just shook his head and said: "It's not a question of trust or distrust, if the Taiping Yang Order is in the hands of the royal family, isn't it better than being in the people?" ”
"Now that the inner palace is stable and the external troubles are eliminated, it can be said that the world is peaceful, why do you want to touch the Taiping Yang Order?"
Hearing Li Mi's question, Zhang Guoxiang shook his head and said to Li Mi: "You are indeed a capable young man, you have been tossed around so much over the years, and the external troubles have indeed been eliminated, but are the internal worries really gone?" ”
"Not to mention the many Miao barbarian places in Sichuan and Yunnan, just in Jingdong, there are many sects such as the Wenxiang Sect and the Qingyang Sect, gathering believers, gathering cultists, hating the government and causing trouble in the place, if it weren't for the group of young soldiers you brought out, what would this be like if it weren't for the group of young soldiers you brought out?"
As soon as Zhang Guoxiang's words came out, Li Mi also had to admit that just like the land of Sichuan, it was Qin Liangyu who was leading the troops to guard at this time, and Zhao Guangling was also transferred back from Liaodong, and he was in charge of the northwest frontier defense at this time.
Although there were some small riots in the localities, which did not reach the point of letting the imperial court make a big show to suppress bandits, it is undeniable that chaos occurred frequently.
The so-called elimination of internal troubles in the court is largely about Zheng Guifei and Zhu Changxun, as for these small fights in the local area, they can't look down on them.
Li Mi also knew something about the local movements, but he did not intervene, because these rebellions, large and small, were the best training targets!
Although it will be cold-blooded to think so, it is true, if you want to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army, you must continue to fight and nourish the war, otherwise it will be stable for ten years and eight years, and continue to be comfortable, if there are really no available soldiers, that is the beginning of the destruction of the country!
However, Li Mi has a prioritization in the end, even if the local situation is not stable, but he can't use this as an excuse to take the Taiping Yang Order as his own, if this Taiping Order is lost to the people, it will really set off a big chaos.
Moreover, even if he wanted to take away this Taiping Order from Zhu Yijun, Li Mi would never give it to others, if there was only one choice left, Li Mi would rather be in charge of this Taiping Order himself!
Therefore, for Zhang Guoxiang's exchange conditions, Li Mi will not agree to it.
Seeing that Li Mi was hesitant, Zhang Guoxiang was not in a hurry, and said to Li Mi: "The master knows what you are worried about, you can watch it, it won't take too long, you will soon understand that the Taiping Order, handed over to my Heavenly Master's Mansion, is the safest." ”
Although the Taiping Order has been pinched by the royal family since the Hongwu year of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhang Tianshi's lineage has a long history, and before the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Taiping Yang Order has always been in the Heavenly Master's Mansion!
Therefore, Zhang Guoxiang has such confidence to discuss this matter with Li Mi Zhengda, although Li Mi is worried, but Zhang Guoxiang also showed the demeanor of a grandmaster, and did not urge, nor did he have any coercion meaning.
He didn't even refuse Li Mi's politeness, and decisively stayed in Li Mi's mansion, saying that he wanted to wait for the birth of Li Mi's child, as if he had never talked to Li Mi about the right talent.
Zhang Guoxiang didn't mention it, and Li Mizi wouldn't take the initiative to talk about it, but seeing that he was in labor in a few days, the matter finally made Zhang Guoxiang unlucky!
