Chapter 231: The Imperial Court Conspiracy

In the secret room of Zhenlong Pavilion, Zhuang Bancheng personally poured a cup of tea for Duan Pingsheng, and pretended to look at the airtight surroundings carefully, and then relieved his heart and whispered: "Lord Wang, Zhuang received a tip-off that Xu Deyi had arrived at the master's courtyard, and half a moment ago, he entered the gate of this courtyard!" ”

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Duan Pingsheng raised his eyebrows, this is crucial information, although Xu Deyi did not reveal why he went to the master's hospital alone, but Duan Pingsheng guessed that this matter must be related to the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty and how the scholars of the world settle down. www.biquge.info Of course, for Duan Pingsheng, what he cares about is only Xu Deyi's fate, after all, although the Master's Academy is a place for scholars, but the scholars are vicious, and they are even better than the Yin Corpse Sect!

Now half of the scholars in the Tang Dynasty temple are from the master's own court, and the vast majority of the rest have also received direct or indirect favors from the master of the Zhang family, so Xu Deyi, who dares to sit with the master of the Zhang family and discuss the sage book, is the public enemy of the Tang court! A careerist who wanted to subvert the rule of the royal family once asserted that as long as Xu was willing to make that word fallacy public, the civil service system based on the book of sages would collapse immediately, and the Tang Dynasty would fall into absolute chaos.

It is precisely because of the result that the Zhang family and the Xu family sat proudly and discussed the words, and did not clearly announce it to the world, which made more and more people speculate in recent years that the Zhang family fell into the disadvantage in that debate, and it was only because the parties concerned were silent about it that it did not cause a catastrophe.

Therefore, the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty regarded Xu Deyi as a great trouble, and wished that he would die directly in the master's hospital.

Zhuang Bancheng seemed to see Duan Pingsheng's worries, and waved his hand with a smile and said, "Is the prince thinking about the safety of that surnamed Xu?" Without waiting for Duan Pingsheng to speak, he continued, "This prince can rest assured, I think at the beginning, that master didn't think about killing him, but in the end, the surname Xu is not alive and kicking?" ”

Duan Pingsheng's heart sank, and he glanced at Zhuang Bancheng: "You mean, in that shocking argument, the Zhang family's master lost to Mr. Xu?" ”

"No, no, no! If this were the case, the Tang Emperor would have been unable to sit still. Zhuang Bancheng waved his hand, "However, although that incident did not shake the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, it still left a lot of impact, no, in recent years, the Tang royal family and the Manchu Dynasty have separated from morality, and it has nothing to do with that incident!" Because the Tang Emperor saw that the surname Xu was a great threat, he wanted Master Zhang to get rid of him, but it was true that the literati cherished him, and the master of the Zhang family didn't move his real character, and the man surnamed Xu slipped away after patting his ass. ”

Duan Pingsheng nodded lightly, although he was trapped in Youzhou, he could also experience the turmoil in the DPRK and China, otherwise, as the leader of the Tianxia people, why would the Zhang family sacrifice himself in exchange for the continuation of the Tang Dynasty?

Of course, from the surface of this matter, it will only make the listener feel that the master of the Zhang family understands the righteousness, and first poured his life's work into the fortune of the Tang Dynasty with the art of transforming the gods, so that the scholars of the world can take the book of sages as the foundation of their lives, and then resolutely give up their lives, only to prevent the world's scholars from being disturbed by disasters.

But Duan Pingsheng experienced a strange taste!

Let me ask, what is the identity of the Zhang family's master?

A model of Wenchen, a leader of scholars, a Confucian sage, and a supreme minister!

Such an extraordinary existence is the absolute core of the Tang Dynasty Wenchen, it can be said that as long as he has no other intentions for the imperial court, then the Li family can sit firmly in the country! And the life of the Zhang family is connected with the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty, which fundamentally eliminates the possibility of him rebelling, so as long as the Zhang family master is in the court for a day, there is no need to worry about the problems of the Wenchen system, because the Zhang family master, who has mastered the sage book, can see many unknown secrets.

However, the problem now is that the Zhang family wants to use his own strength in exchange for peace in the world! In other words, even if the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty are full again, the Li family still can't sit firmly in the country, because the Zhang family is the bridge between the Manchu Dynasty and the Tang royal family, and many times, the Tang Emperor's speech is not as effective as the Zhang family's master. And now, the relationship between the royal family and the imperial court is not harmonious, which can be seen from the fact that the Tang Emperor hurriedly issued an edict and urgently transferred back Gu Da Thorn Shi, who was dedicated to the royal family.

Then, Duan Pingsheng is not without malicious bold speculation.

The reason why the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty are dying is not only because of external factors, but also because of internal problems, and the ambitious Tang Emperor has already realized that if the Zhang family master continues to live, then sooner or later, the Manchu Dynasty Wenchen will only obey the Zhang family alone! Even if this living saint is noble and noble, he will inevitably be suspicious, and it is more likely to make the imperial power fall aside!

After all, there are so many people in the Tang royal family, as long as the country name is still "Tang", then any person surnamed Li can become the Ninth Five-Year Honor!

So to sum up, it became a logical thing to let the Zhang family die. And Duan Pingsheng also deduced from this that Xu proudly rushed to the master's hospital, which not only meant to continue the words, but also meant to prevent the other party from committing suicide suddenly.

Although in the eyes of outsiders, the Master Academy and the Jixia School are hostile forces, but they both belong to the "Wendao", which is an irrefutable fact!

Duan Pingsheng glanced at Zhuang Bancheng and asked speechlessly, "When Mr. Xu enters the Master's Academy, there will be no immediate results, right?" Is it just for this matter that you are in such a hurry to call this king? ”

"Hey, you don't know, Lord Wang! When the man surnamed Xu handed me the envelope, he said that he would not stay in the Master's Courtyard for long, so what the result is, it will come out soon! Zhuang Bancheng said truthfully, although he had a surname of Xu, Duan Pingsheng could hear from it that these two intersected inexorably, and it was obvious that his speculation when he came was not whimsical.

And the fact, as Zhuang Bancheng said, Duan Pingsheng didn't wait long before the mixed yuan came in a hurry with a secret letter in his hand.

It's just that Duan Pingsheng couldn't help frowning that the complexion of the mixed yuan hand was a little bad.

Zhuang Bancheng also sensed the uneasiness, and immediately took the secret letter, and just glanced at it, and his expression changed greatly! At this moment, Duan Pingsheng could still calm down, but Zhuang Bancheng couldn't help wiping the sweat on his head, and said with a dry smile: "Gaffe, let the prince smile." ”

Duan Pingsheng took a sip of the teacup and asked lightly: "What is the result, Boss Zhuang can say it." ”

Zhuang Bancheng didn't answer immediately, but carefully read the text on the secret letter, and then handed the secret letter to Duan Pingsheng and said, "It didn't come out, it just happened a little accident." ”

Accidentally?

Duan Pingsheng took the note quietly, saw the text on it clearly, and said in his heart, how can this be called a small accident?

"Overnight, the Yin Corpse Jizo was escorted to the Master's Courtyard by the Longmen Ministry, is this called a small accident?"

Duan Pingsheng laughed silently, his laughter was full of mockery, it was obvious that the imperial court attached great importance to the meeting of the two major benchmarks of Wendao, and even valued it to the extent that it was not ready to hide its intentions!

Youzhou City is thousands of miles away from the Master's Courtyard, Duan Pingsheng can't think of anyone who can have such great ability to send that Yin Corpse Hidden Treasure thousands of miles away, but the imperial court has spent so much effort that it must want to use the Yin Corpse Hidden Treasure to make a fuss!

Zhuang Bancheng wiped his sweat again: "Isn't this something still happening?" ”

Duan Pingsheng glanced at him: "If something really goes wrong, the regret is over, where can this king find such a teacher for the little stool?" ”

Zhuang Bancheng glanced at Duan Pingsheng faintly, if you really only treat the teacher surnamed Xu as a small stool, as for being so yin and yang?

At this moment, Chaoyuan returned with his hand, and a secret letter appeared in his hand again, this time, Zhuang Bancheng no longer watched alone, but placed it in front of him and Duan Pingsheng. The two read the text on the secret letter, and couldn't help but look at each other, only thinking that how could things be so chaotic?

It turned out that the secret letter reported that when the Yin Corpse Jizo had just been sent to the Master's Hospital, there was a sudden sound of Buddha outside the courtyard, which was obviously the power of Dinglin Temple! And depending on the situation, it is not to carry out friendly exchanges between Confucianism and Buddhism, but to rob people!

There are a lot of capable people in the Master's Academy, but most of them are cultivating the Tao of Literature and Taoism, and they have no knowledge but no martial arts, if they let them use Haoran Righteousness to drive away the evil qi of the Yin Corpse Sect, then it is okay, but in the face of the second person in Dinglin Temple with martial arts, it is not so simple to retreat easily.

However, the second Dharma junior brother was still blocked!

And this person is none other than Xu Deyi, who came to the door first.

"What's going on?"

Zhuang Bancheng scratched his head, Duan Pingsheng said in his heart, you ask me, who do I ask? However, it is not difficult to guess the reason, the dispute between the three religions is the dispute of the Great Dao, and no matter how much the Master Academy and the Jixia Academy fight, in the face of the other two, they will also be unanimous to the outside world. In addition, the reason why the master of the Zhang family did not make a move is also very simple, because he has to take care of the Yin corpse hidden in the ground, so the important task of blocking the enemy can only ask Xu Deyi to take action.

Sure enough, the third secret letter soon arrived, indicating that Xu Deyi was confronting an old monk outside the gate of the Master's Courtyard, while the Master's Courtyard was rippling with righteousness, accompanied by the evil aura of the Yin Corpse and the light of the Buddha.

Although it is still unknown what the imperial court is thinking, it is certain that it must not be well-intentioned.

After all, the Yin Corpse Jizo used to be a disciple of Dinglin Temple, but now it is going to be taken by the Zhang family master as a sacrifice for the longevity of the Tang Dynasty, and the power of the master's own courtyard will inevitably be impacted by the Dinglin Temple. As for the meaning of Xu Deyi's existence, Duan Pingsheng was a little puzzled, couldn't it be that Emperor Tang had already guessed that Xu Deyi would stop him, so he wanted to pull the Jixia Academy into the water by the way?

And the answer was revealed in the fourth secret letter that followed!

Xu Deyi and the monks of Dinglin Temple didn't have to deal with each other for long, and the battle situation was completely reversed because of the appearance of an uninvited guest!

The Three Treasures Eunuch who came with the emperor's order before actually descended on the Master's Courtyard, and without saying anything, he launched an attack on Xu Deyi, and the monks of Dinglin Temple, who were eager to save people, wished that someone would come to help him, so he did not carry forward the belief in the Buddha's compassion, and immediately joined forces with the Three Treasures Eunuchs to defeat Xu Deyi and retreat.

You must know that the three people who are fighting at this time are all a handful of pinnacle figures on the list, and in the face of the two fierce opponents, even Xu Smug has no way to continue to stop, and for a while, the magnificent courtyard of the Master's Courtyard, which is admired by the people of the world, actually collapsed with a bang!

And this courtyard is also related to the core of the luck of the master's own courtyard, so that the master of the Zhang family, who used the luck of the courtyard to sacrifice the Yin Corpse Dizang, suddenly unloaded his strength, so that he was attacked by the Yin Corpse Dizang! If it weren't for Haoran's righteous qi to protect his body, the Zhang family might have died directly in his lair.

Duan Pingsheng and Zhuang Bancheng glared at each other, because they felt that the hand of the imperial court was really a bit vicious!

It is already obvious that the imperial court wants to get rid of the living saint, and the Three Treasures Eunuch, as the spokesperson of the royal family, will act directly in the Master's Courtyard, but it will inevitably be attacked by the literati, but as long as the Three Treasures Eunuch can successfully win down Xu Deyi, it can also block the mouths of all scholars.

I have to say that this move of the imperial court is extremely risky, although due to the existence of Xu Deyi, the degree of worship of the scholars of the world for the Zhang family is far less than in the past, but if there is a mistake, it will inevitably push all the civil officials to the opposite side of the imperial court!

However, then again, the reason why the imperial court dared to take such a big risk must have made all arrangements in advance!

Because the Yin Corpse was hidden in the Master's Courtyard and made waves, almost destroying half of the literati holy land, Xu Deyi chose to tie his hands and let the Three Treasures Eunuch take him in his hands when he was forced to do so, and the monk of Dinglin Temple also immediately captured the Yin Corpse Hidden in the Courtyard, but even so, the Master's Courtyard was also hit hard, and the sound of reading aloud that originally lingered over the courtyard turned into a scream.

The monk of Dinglin Temple still has some of the true colors of a monk, and immediately recited Buddhist scriptures to clear the evil spirit of the Yin corpse for the Master's Hospital, but he didn't know that his actions made the Master's House famous!

The Master's Academy, which is known for its heroic righteousness, actually needs the Buddhist scriptures of Dinglin Temple to dispel the evil spirit, if this spreads, the reputation of the Master's Academy will not be swept away for tens of thousands of miles?

The eunuch of the Three Treasures saw this scene in his eyes and smiled in his heart. I don't know if the Dinglin Temple was intentional or unintentional, anyway, people ran away with mercy, and as the spokesperson of the Tang royal family, he still had to give an explanation to the master's hospital, after all, although the master of the Zhang family was seriously injured, he did not die directly!

"That's a really good game!"

Zhuang Bancheng couldn't help but smack his tongue and said: "It not only discredited the master's academy, but also severely damaged the living saint, and also took down the surname Xu, and blocked the reader's mouth by the way." I estimate that even if the Zhang family changed his mind, he would have to retire due to his injuries, and the imperial court could take advantage of the last few years of his life to take over the power of Wenchen, stabilize the internal problems, and then try to solve the external troubles. ”

"This is a bit ruthless, but the reward is greater than letting the Zhang family master die with the slaughter! The imperial court can clean up the mess more calmly, and there is no need to worry about the rebound of civil officials! Zhuang Bancheng couldn't help but clap his hands, "If this plan was formulated overnight after the Yin Corpse was hidden and caught, then I really have to admire the courage of that planner by pretending to be someone!" If I had the chance, I would have to make a big gamble with him! ”

Duan Pingsheng glared at Zhuang Bancheng: "Listen to Boss Zhuang's meaning, this king forcibly sealed the human slaughter at the foot of Wanbei Mountain, could it be wrong?" ”

Zhuang Bancheng shook his head again and again, saying that he didn't dare.

"Then since Mr. Xu has fallen into the hands of the imperial court, Boss Zhuang can't sit idly by, right?"

Facing Duan Pingsheng's questioning, Zhuang Bancheng's head shook smoothly: "Look at what you said, I am not related to the surname Xu, why bother to rescue him!" ”

However, seeing Duan Pingsheng's playful eyes, Zhuang Bancheng wiped his sweat, and finally told the truth: "Don't worry, even if the surname Xu falls into the hands of the imperial court, he will not have to worry about his life, after all, it is Wenchen who wants him to die, not the Tang royal family!" ”
