Chapter 61: Confidants
"It's not the same thing as a minister," Wen Shao'an still looked gentle, "What the minister just said is the worst-case scenario, if the six southern states fall, then I am afraid that something will happen to the prince of Qi, and the Zhou family and the king of Qi will be in the same stream." But judging from the current situation, if King Qi dares to rebel, only Nanzhou will fall into his hands, and at most the eighteen veins of Nanban will not interfere with the overall situation. ”
"After all, King Qi is my henchman, you said that King Qi has guarded Nanzhou for so many years, and I don't know how much blood of the Nanban people has been stained on his hands, why Nanban has a very close relationship with him now." Emperor Longqing was a little puzzled, "Isn't it that the Southern Barbarians have always paid attention to a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye, why didn't they send someone to assassinate King Qi?" Could it be that the Southern Barbarians were really scared by him? ”
Emperor Longqing dreamed that one day King Qi would die at the hands of the Southern Barbarians, and he would be able to solve the great trouble of King Qi without spending a single soldier, but it is a pity that after so many years, King Qi has always been dominant in the south.
"In the years when the first emperor was alive, Nanban often sent people to assassinate King Qi, and after the first emperor was killed, Nanban sent the side concubine into the palace, which was deeply favored by King Qi, and the assassination was terminated."
"I always thought that the side concubine of King Qi's Mansion was only of Southern Barbarian blood in her ancestors, and she was still from the Central Plains in her bones, but I didn't expect that she was a complete Southern Barbarian woman." Emperor Longqing sighed, "No matter what King Qi says, he is also an upright person from the Central Plains, and he is in the same stream with the barbarians for a woman. How many Nanban people he killed every year were reported by himself, and the military department had no way to verify how many people died, and how many of them were Nanbanians, I think it was all made up by King Qi. ”
"King Qi has been disobedient for a long time, and he and the Southern Barbarians are just using each other, and this temporary alliance may not be indestructible."
"The Southern Barbarians are different from the Northern Barbarians, the Northern Barbarians are predatory and often disturb our borders, although the Southern Barbarians are constantly making small movements, but at least they are not as murderous as the Northern Barbarians." If King Qi didn't make a move, Emperor Longqing didn't want to meet him in battle, and if he exchanged Nanzhou for peace in the world, he could accept it.
Wen Shao'an shook his head, "The Southern Barbarians are also thirsty for killing, and they are good at the secret art of the Southern Barbarians, and the eighteen veins have an unclean relationship with the demon clan, not only raising demon beasts and insects, but also often taking the people of my Central Plains to sacrifice to the big demons, if they really let them occupy Nanzhou, I am afraid that they will take the opportunity to break the ancient magic array, and then the world will be ruined, and it is that Nanzhou must not be lost." ”
"Shao'an, do you really believe that there is an ancient magic circle?" Emperor Longqing was a little hesitant, no one had ever seen the big demon, that is, even those so-called magic circles also existed in legends, although Emperor Longqing also sacrificed to heaven and earth every year, but he did not believe in these from the bottom of his heart.
Wen Shao'an was silent for a few breaths, "I believe that there is a record in the Hongshan inheritance. ”
"Do you Hongshanmen people also set up magic circles?" In fact, not only Emperor Longqing, but also people all over the world are very curious about Hongshan Academy and Master, and even Hongshan disciples may not be able to understand all the secrets of Hongshan.
Wen Shaoan shook his head, "The master and the uncle probably know, but the inheritance that the master has received is not complete, and we only vaguely know the existence of those ancient magic circles." ”
"In Nanzhou?"
"There are magic circles in the North and South Barbarians, and there are also one in Nanzhou and one in Beishan."
"What kind of big demon is in the town?"
"This minister doesn't know, I only heard the master mention that the death of the Great Yan in the previous dynasty was related to these big demons."
Emperor Longqing was shocked, what he was most afraid of as an emperor was that the demons and evil would threaten his rule, "In this way, Nanzhou and Beishan must not be lost, I don't know if there is a way to completely eradicate these big demons?" ”
"The ancestor tried his best back then but only sealed the big demon, it is not easy to eradicate the fear, time has passed, and now the disciples of Hongshan are all studying to enter the office, and I am afraid that the demon subduing the demon will have to rely on those monks."
Emperor Longqing sighed, he grew up with Wen Shao'an, except for the years when Wen Shao'an studied in Hongshan, the two were together almost every day, naturally they knew his details, and he studied and governed the country, even if he went into battle to lead the troops, it was not a problem, but what was the magic power of subduing demons and subduing demons, it was a decisive plan.
"Zi Bu is strange and confused, and there are many monks in the past dynasties who have rebelled in the country, I really can't believe those monks of unknown origin."
Wen Shao'an nodded, "Although there are big demons in the country of Dayan, the root cause is that the emperor is absurd, the government is corrupt, and the people are not happy, which causes changes in the world and gives those demons an opportunity to take advantage of. ”
"Although I have the heart to be a good emperor, I also know that it is not easy to be a good emperor." Emperor Longqing is young and old, and only in front of his friends who have grown up with him will reveal such confused emotions, "During this time, the capital is not very peaceful, if there are a few more things like that, it will cause the people to discuss, and then be instigated by someone with a heart, I am afraid that it will really be chaotic, and then it will be in the arms of King Qi." ”
"Your Majesty, rest assured, Dali Temple is already investigating this matter, and will find out the mastermind behind it as soon as possible." Wen Shaoan said awe-inspiringly.
"Ye Shaoqing of Dali Temple is your senior sister, you help her solve the case quickly, otherwise I will always be uneasy in my heart, if it is peaceful today, I don't believe that the demons and evil will cause chaos against the sky, I am worried that it is the Southern Barbarians who are making ghosts in it, and their mysterious methods are endless, and they must not be allowed to do evil in the capital." Emperor Longqing's face was very ugly.
Although Wen Shao'an has an idle post in the Hanlin Academy, he is actually a confidant of Emperor Longqing, with great authority, and often participates in various government affairs as a messenger, so he bows his head and responds.
"Mr. Zhao Qi and Wen Xiang are indeed geniuses, but it's a pity that they left too early, resulting in the Hongshan inheritance being incomplete to this point, otherwise with your ability, you can get all the inheritance of Hongshan, and you will definitely be able to perceive the mystery in that case, and you will not let things fall to such a point." Emperor Longqing said, "Wen Yuan's death is quite strange, it is rumored that he died to seal the Great Demon, and the other is that he died to resist the Northern Barbarian Army, and the master was on Wen Xiang's side at that time, but what did you say to you?" ”
Wen Shaoan shook his head, "Uncle Shi and Master are like father and son, but what happened when Uncle Shi passed away, Master never mentioned it, and we were afraid of touching Master and Sad, so we never asked." ”
"The master is also a genius of the world, if I am lucky enough to invite the master to come down the mountain to talk, it is enough." Emperor Longqing said angrily.
"Master swore a poisonous oath back then, and he will never go down the mountain to protect the Hongshan inheritance for the rest of his life, but now that he is old, I am afraid that he will not go down the mountain."
Although Emperor Longqing was curious about his master, he was not too difficult for a strong man, so he had to force him to go down the mountain to meet, and when he saw that his master was resolute, he remembered that he was old and frail and highly respected, so he gave up.
