Chapter 406: The Wind Rises
Before Yin Yu, who had left Dali Temple, hurriedly got into the carriage, he saw Yuan Qi standing in front of a carriage not far away, waving to him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Yin Yu naturally knew Yuan Qi, so he walked over without hesitation, but he ignored Yuan Qi, and even didn't look at it, and simply said to the carriage curtain: "He doesn't agree, only talks about the deal." ā
"Yes." A gentle female voice came from inside the car.
"For him, I heard King Xian mention, in my opinion, there is no need to talk about this matter, this person will not compromise, persecution will only become an enemy, it is better to let him, anyway, such a person, as long as there are interests, you can always cooperate."
There was silence in the car, and after a long time, the woman's voice came out: "How is his injury?" ā
"Injuries?" Yin Yu was stunned, but then he thought of something, and said, "I didn't find out that he was injured." ā
"No injuries?" The people in the car were obviously stunned for a moment, and continued to laugh: "If you die, you have to suffer to save face, and you really don't know how to lift up." At this point, the carriage moved forward, leaving Yin Yu, who was crying and laughing, and Yuan Qi, who had a gloomy face!
"Uncle Guo, there are still important things to do, so retire first." Yuan Qi's face recovered in just a moment, and after saying goodbye to Yin Yu with a smile, he immediately took a car to an inn in Beishi.
After a stick of incense, Yuan Qi and He Chaoxiu sat down with each other and discussed Dong Ce's matter together.
The situation before, as if they were in a trance, could not see through it at all.
But today Yuan Qi was suddenly ordered to accompany the Queen Mother to Dali Temple, at first Yuan Qi thought that the Queen Mother was going to make a move, but he didn't expect that what he saw was Uncle Yin Yu!
Didn't they arrange everything? Although the ending was different from what they wanted in the end, Dong Ce was still eliminated, and both of them were in some aspects, with one less competitor, which should be very good.
However, the entire Luoyang Mansion was suddenly surging, and many forces were mobilized, but they were the only ones who were not in the dark!
Yuan Qi said angrily: "What's wrong? The Queen Mother actually let Uncle Guo come forward, is it the consequence of our strategy? Or ......"
"We're being taken advantage of!" He Chaoxiu's brows tightened, and he sighed: "Even if there is no arrangement from us, Dong Ce will definitely be detained because of the caravan, arousing the idea of Taiping Dao getting rid of him, and then the Yin family jumped out to subdue Dong Ce, and took advantage of the Jiangnan incident to rebuild the momentum and establish another national religion, what a big game of chess!" ā
"It's not going to be too quick for all parties to react and think it's worth a try, and it's not necessarily that we will be taken advantage of." Yuan Qi still couldn't believe it.
"We misestimated the influence of Yanjiao and underestimated Yu Long, from beginning to end, Yu Long didn't want Dong Ce to die, even if she wanted to, she didn't dare, this is why the Queen Mother didn't make a move, she must have found something more worthy of use in Dong Ce!"
He Chaoxiu's words made Yuan Qi depressed, he asked himself in the eyes of the Queen Mother, he was a very important person, and every time she secretly went out of the palace, she arranged it by herself, it can also be said that this is equivalent to the secret of him and the Queen Mother, shouldn't it be trusted?
"It's not nice to say, Brother Yuan is not qualified enough!" He Chaoxiu's words were broken, and he almost made Yuan Qi vomit blood in anger.
He didn't know that he was just an insignificant small role, but he had been efficient for the Queen Mother for so many years, and it seemed that he had nothing!
What a hate!
He Chaoxiu felt so good in his heart, until now he realized how weak and powerless he was in front of this group of great gods, and he hated himself for being a foil in this turmoil.
Hatred and jealousy inspired He Chaoxiu's desire for power.
In the backyard of Yong'an Palace, the Queen Mother who came back from Dali Temple changed into a graceful dress and leaned on the stone chair in the courtyard to enjoy the comfort of the spring sun.
"The Queen Mother is back." Yu Long walked slowly and saluted.
"Sit down." The queen mother flicked her sleeves, and then took the fragrant tea handed by the palace maid and tasted it slowly.
"I heard that before the Queen Mother left the palace today, she still called Yuan Changshi to arrange it, doesn't the Queen Mother know that this person has colluded with the cult!"
The Queen Mother played with the teacup, her eyes closed, her beautiful face facing the sun, and whispered: "Although Yuan Changshi has had it, he can't ignore his hard work over the years, so be it." ā
Yuan Qi, who is in Beishi at this moment, how did he know that what he did had been known by the Queen Mother!
However, his previous efforts are in the eyes of the Queen Mother, but hard work and strength are completely different, such as Yu Long, Dong Ce, are powerful to the Queen Mother, and he is only weak in this regard, but what Yuan Qi doesn't know is that in fact, if he doesn't participate, he will be in charge of the new money shop soon!
It's a pity, because of his plan with He Chaoxiu, the Queen Mother was dissatisfied with him!
It is impossible for the person who assassinated Dong Ce to appear out of thin air, and the timing of the ambush is so good, he will immediately flee as soon as he hits it, is it possible for such an assassination if no one reports it in advance?
The Queen Mother can understand this, and Yu Long understands it even more, because this is her plan to kill two birds with one stone!
It's just that Yu Long didn't expect that the Queen Mother would let Yuan Qi go, how could this be done?
Yuan Qi's thoughts, Yu Long could see through it at a glance, and wanted to put her to death, and then become the only confidant by the Queen Mother's side, it was really wishful thinking!
"Queen Mother, Yuan Changshi does have merit, however, Linglong is afraid that there will be one and two, today Linglong has escaped, it is difficult to guarantee tomorrow's ......"
Suddenly, the Queen Mother's eyes widened slightly, squinted at Yu Long, and suddenly Yu Long was so frightened that Yu Long hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at each other, and swallowed back the words that were about to be spoken.
"Take your thoughts, do you really want me to be unused." After breaking Yu Long's scheming, the Queen Mother put down the teacup tastelessly, and said: "What we really have to deal with now is not these small things, but the major matters of the state religion." ā
Yu Long was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "The state religion has a great impact on my Daning, and what is even more shocking is that it has now become a hazard, especially north of the Yellow River, many prefectures and counties have seen people seeking the Tao without asking officials when they encounter troubles. ā
It is undeniable that without the help of Taiping Dao, it is impossible for the Queen Mother to take power, so Taiping Dao is kind to the Queen Mother, but no matter how great the kindness is, it is nothing if it is put on national construction.
Taiping Dao has become a hazard, especially the emergence of the imperial examination, which made the Queen Mother see the biggest hidden danger!
The imperial examination is desirable and makes people work hard, and in a few years, the world's talented people will be as many as a hundred times compared to today, at that time, the state religion was a joke, and it was a shame for Daning!
A group of Taoist priests who rely on Fu Shui to collect money, control the officialdom, and fish the people, but his court can only acquiesce, what is this?
"No wonder the emperor wants to find a way to eradicate the Taiping Dao, it can be seen that his vision is longer than mine!" Before she took power, how could the Queen Mother care about this, but after she really carried this banner, she couldn't see the slightest dirt on the flag.
"By the way, Queen Mother, did Dong Ce agree?" Yu Long suddenly asked.
"Heh, this son is worthy of being born as a businessman, and he has never deviated from his sect, and he actually talked to me about business." The Queen Mother laughed.
"I don't know what to do!" Yu Long secretly gritted his teeth in his heart, but said with a pleasant face: "Otherwise, the Queen Mother, let's talk about a deal with him." ā
"What else?" The Queen Mother smiled bitterly, stroked her wrinkled wide sleeves, lowered her head, and whispered: "The mourning family is really reluctant to let him suffer." ā
These words made Yu Long's heart so sour that he seemed to be fed with the breath he exhaled: "Yes, now he is a big celebrity in the eyes of the Queen Mother!" ā
The Queen Mother smiled and was about to speak, when suddenly a palace maid hurriedly came to report, saying that General Yu had asked to see him outside the palace!
Yu Long was taken aback at first and said: "Queen Mother, my father suddenly entered the palace, there must be something important, Linglong will take him to the main hall to wait for the Queen Mother." ā
"Just go to the council hall." After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she also got up and went back to the dormitory to prepare to go.
Two quarters of an hour later, in the small council hall, the Queen Mother sat on the ground, glanced at Yu Mao with a piece of music in her hand, then raised her eyes and said: "I should be a big deal, it's just that a few mountains have been burned, and it's a wild place, so I need you to be so attentive." ā
Yu Mao hurriedly clenched his fists, bowed and said hurriedly: "Please also ask the Queen Mother to take a closer look, this is not as simple as a few mountains!" ā
"Oh!" When the Queen Mother heard this, she immediately put her eyes on the fold again, and slowly, her brows frowned, and her eyes flickered.
"Can you find out who did it?" The Queen Mother said so much.
"The last general is incompetent, and it is still necessary to find out." Yu Mao said ashamedly.
"It's not your duty to do this, it's not your job to be incompetent, this can crush thousands of garrisons and shoot the capital, in your opinion, how many thieves are there? How is the combat power? ā
"If the last general leads the army, at least three hundred!" Yu Mao replied.
"Three hundred enemies and thousands, General Yu is worthy of my Admiral Daning, and it can be seen that the number of the other party should be no less than five hundred, or even more, how did these people gather? Have you checked the checkpoint ferry? ā
After listening to the Queen Mother's question, Yu Mao was really anxious, and instead of answering, he asked: "Hasn't the Queen Mother realized the harm of this fire?" ā
"What's the harm of a few barren mountains?" After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she was suddenly stunned, and then opened the fold and watched it several times from beginning to end, and finally exclaimed: "This is the place where Taiping Dao planted that warbler corn?" ā
"Exactly!" Yu Mao nodded fiercely, and hurriedly said: "Those people must be coming for the Taiping Dao, this fire goes down, all the Taoist temples in the capital will have no elixir talisman tea for a short time, and as far as the last general knows, this thing seems to be addictive, which can make the eater want to stop, and if he doesn't eat or drink for a day, he will feel unwell, his soul will not give up, and he will feel miserable!" ā
"There is such a thing." The Queen Mother naturally knew about Fu Tea and Awakening Pill, and she had taken it a few times, but she didn't feel any uncomfortable symptoms, if it weren't for her frequent insomnia, the imperial doctor advised her not to take the Refreshment Soup Pill, otherwise she would definitely take these Refreshment Pills for a long time, how could she be said to be so terrible by General Yu?
Yu Mao also learned about it from a staff member today, and he didn't believe it, but what the staff member said was really terrible, so he hurriedly entered the palace to ask to see the Queen Mother.
"In any case, this matter is not as simple as it seems, we should take precautions as soon as possible!"
