Chapter 261: King Kong Gate
The little internal official was just about to turn around and go out, but Wei Zhongxian stopped him again.
"Is there any news from Si'er?"
"Not yet, someone is the same message that came back the day before yesterday."
"Really? That's fine, you go down. β
Wei Zhongxian thought for a moment and waved his hand to let the little internal official go down.
At first, he sent the fourth young lady over, in addition to the purpose of surveillance, but also to let Qi Shan use his power to find Tianxiang Cardamom faster.
According to his requirements, the fourth lady must pass the news back every other day and let him master Qi Shan's movements at any time.
Tianxiang Cardamom, such a divine object, it is impossible to only let the emperor use it, he is already old and decrepit, and his body bones are not good.
Moreover, the Donglin Party people are like bed bugs to trouble him, and it is not surprising when an assassin appears, in case the guards are a little negligent.
Naturally, you will have to go to Tianxiang cardamom to continue your life.
got the wealth and power that is hard to reach in the world, and actually wanted a longer life.
It's a natural hierarchy of desires, and there's nothing strange about it.
In Wei Zhongxian's view, he must wait for the emperor to seek immortality, which must also be his current mood.
Because apart from this, there is nothing in this world that is worth their desire.
He needs to master the cardamom and even know how to grow it.
Although Tianyi Divine Water is good, in his opinion, it is just a killing weapon, and compared with other poisons, it is just one more colorless and odorless, nothing unusual.
In contrast, the life-saving Tianxiang cardamom is different.
However, it was okay at the beginning, and the news would be delivered every other day, and during that time, Qi Shan's whereabouts were uncertain, drifting left and right, one moment in Shanxi, and one time to Henan.
After a long time, it seems that he has found a definite clue, and he has gone all the way to the west, and now he has crossed the border and went straight to Tang Shi Broken Rock City.
Look at the meaning, I'm afraid I have to go deep into the Western Desert.
The line was stretched too long, and the message was too late to be sent back.
This should have been a normal phenomenon, but Wei Zhongxian inexplicably had a bad premonition, and this feeling was gradually strengthening.
It was as if a sharp blade was hanging over his head, descending little by little, ready to cut his head in half.
It is precisely this feeling that has made Wei Zhongxian more and more ruthless recently.
The people of the Donglin Party are considered to have fallen into blood mold, their heads have become leeks, and they have been cut down wave after wave, and they are still relaying.
The big-mouthed scholars in the capital have been killed, and now they are killing those scholars who feel good about themselves and regard themselves as pillars of the country, thinking that the law does not blame the public.
When this wave of people is killed, the rest of the people will be able to calm down and see the current situation clearly.
Wei Zhongxian also knew that governing the country was inseparable from scholars, but the Ming Dynasty raised a scholar for 300 years, so he raised a moth-like Donglin Party? This does not correspond to the image of a scholar in his heart.
In the early years, they would suppress one or two, do something within the rules, use power to oppress them, and do things obediently.
In the past two years, with his increasing power, the Donglin Party has been suppressed and breathless, but small actions are still continuing, so he is becoming more and more impatient.
It is precisely because of this that the reputation of the people is getting more and more stinky.
Of course, Wei Zhongxian wanted to reverse this situation, but in this era, public opinion was manipulated by scholars and scholars, and most of the common people did not know how to read.
The squires and nobles listened to whatever they said, and it was really not so easy to change public opinion.
After pondering for a while, Wei Zhongxian shook his head lightly and sighed lightly.
This matter is really urgent.
Tianxiang cardamom is a divine object, but it is impossible to meet, but it is not to be expected too much.
was about to pick up the fold and continue to look at it, when the little insider just now suddenly appeared again, holding a note in his hand and showing joy on his face.
"Tell the factory father, the fourth lady has sent a letter."
Wei Zhongxian had a smile on his face.
"Really? What a coincidence. β
He stretched out his hand and took the strip, shook it open, glanced at ten lines, swept it over, and his eyes showed a little thought.
"King Kong Gate?"
Wei Zhongxian shook his head and ordered, "Go, invite a few gentlemen from the West Courtyard." β
The little internal officer obediently answered, turned his head and ran out.
After a while, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside, and then five or six scholars in long robes poured in, none of them were old men, all of them were young.
The eldest one has no more than a beard on his chin, and he is not more than 30 years old at most.
This person was obviously the leader, and he walked in and led everyone to give Wei Zhongxian a salute.
"I've seen the head of the house."
That's right, these people are his protΓ©gΓ©s.
Over the years, Wei Zhongxian has made a lot of efforts to accept so many scholars, and everyone is full of wealth, if it weren't for various reasons, he would have entered the officialdom as an official a long time ago.
Now that he is in his hands, he has borrowed a lot of strength to deal with the affairs of the court, so Wei Zhongxian attaches great importance to these people.
"A few gentlemen don't need to be polite, let's take a look at this first."
Wei Zhongxian didn't talk nonsense, he directly raised his hand to let them get up, and then handed over the slip in his hand.
The leader took it and glanced at it, with a strange look on his face, and then passed the note to a few people behind him.
"What do you think of this Vajra Gate?"
Several people glanced at each other, and the person who was still the leader said: "Please also ask the head of the family to forgive the sin, there is something that needs to be clarified first." Is the Qianhu Lord mentioned in the strip the same Jinyi Wei Qianhu who was sent out because of Tianxiang Cardamom? β
"That's him." Wei Zhongxian nodded, and did not hide anything.
In fact, these people were involved in the whole thing, from the very beginning to decide whether to use Tianxiang Cardamom, what methods were there to put Tianxiang Cardamom into the emperor's mouth, and finally to observe the emperor's physical condition through the Tai Hospital at any time.
It can be said that in addition to Qi Shan, the original creator, these people know Tianxiang Cardamom best.
"Please forgive the head of the family, there is no definite record about the King Kong Gate, only some rumors."
The man at the head thought about it carefully and said: "It is rumored that the King Kong Gate is actually a branch of the Shaolin Temple, and it was the fire offering monk of the year, who hated the abbot because of something, found an opportunity to steal important classics, and then ran to the sect established in the Western Regions.
This King Kong Gate, the main purpose is to fight against the Shaolin Temple, almost every ten years, there will be people into the Central Plains, using various means to attack the reputation of the Shaolin Temple.
It can be said that it is the sworn enemy of Shaolin Temple.
It's just that the Western Regions are barren and there are many ignorant people, so this King Kong has been developed for several generations, but it is very prestigious in the Western Regions. β
The leader shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly: "It's a pity that this is just a rumor, and you can't find the three words Vajra Gate in any records, but there are many records of tantric monks such as lamas." β
