Chapter 224: An autumn rain and a cold
At this time, the Dajin Dynasty had entered late autumn, and the last wisps of summer heat gradually faded, and the weather gradually became capricious.
It is possible that the sun is still shining in the morning, and in the afternoon it is cold because of an autumn rain.
Today's Luoyang City has been drizzling again, but compared to the bleak temperature, a piece of news from the Spring and Autumn Academy is even more chilling.
Pei Yuanji, dead.
Pei Yuanji, who occupies the top three on the Jinyun list all the year round, was born in a family of sages, and is known as the first day of the Spring and Autumn Academy, died.
died on the life and death platform of the Spring and Autumn Academy.
It is true that the Pei family, where Pei Yuanji is located, is not listed among the nine great families of the Dajin Dynasty, but no one dares to ignore the hidden power of the Pei family in the world, as well as its influence on the entire cultivation world.
After all, there is a holy order in the Pei family!
Could it be that the Spring and Autumn Academy is going to turn against the Sword Saint!
Just when people were caught off guard by this sudden news, it was rumored that the person who killed Pei Yuanji with a sword on the life and death platform turned out to be Xia Sheng, who had become famous in the capital in recent days.
After the news spread, it was like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, shocking the entire cultivation world.
Who is Xia Sheng?
If no one had heard of this name a few months ago, then since the Qin family comparison, almost all cultivators knew about this country boy who had walked out of White Horse Town.
Because Xia Sheng is the little aunt of the Weining Hou Mansion, because Xia Sheng is the teacher of the eldest lady of Shantang, and because Xia Sheng is the honorary teacher of the Spring and Autumn Academy.
Not to mention, Xia Sheng once took out the legendary good character in front of everyone, and was crowned the crown prince and prince by His Majesty in front of the civil and military officials!
If Pei Yuanji's background is fearful, then Xia Sheng's backstage should not be underestimated!
And now, Xia Sheng actually killed Pei Yuanji?
For a while, no one even cared how he did it. Instead, I want to know why Xia Sheng did this, and what the result will be after doing this.
Many far-sighted people have smelled a smell of wind and rain coming.
If the Sword Saint was desperate to avenge Pei Yuanji, would the Spring and Autumn Academy without the Sage be able to stop it?
Even if the Qin family and the Ye family join forces to be enemies of the Pei family, regardless of their previous suspicions, what a tragic price will they pay?
The Sage was furious. Millions of corpses!
I don't know if this autumn rain can wash away the layers of bright red on the top of his mountain?
But what people didn't expect was that the first to react to this matter was not the Pei family, not Shantang, not Weining Houfu, but the imperial court!
On the same day, Gonggong Zhao came to the Spring and Autumn Academy with the emperor's imperial decree, and announced His Majesty's reward for Xia Sheng in front of Tang Zi'an!
That's right, it's a reward!
On that long golden silk. Xia Sheng was given ten brocades, five pearls, three jade mountains and other generous rewards, and the official seal of the country sacrificial wine!
The reason is that Xia Sheng has achieved remarkable results in teaching several princes, and he has a great talent for teaching and educating people, so he is hereby rewarded.
Such a decree suddenly made many people stupid.
Because anyone with a discerning eye can see that these reasons are purely foolish. Even ghosts can't fool them.
Since Xia Sheng assumed the position of crown prince and teacher, he has not done anything at all. The previous month I didn't talk about the retreat in the mountain behind the academy, and then I finally took a leave of absence and went down the mountain, and I didn't enter the palace to face the saint, and after that, Xia Sheng went back to the academy and killed Pei Yuanji.
Not to mention teaching the princes, to this day. He hadn't even seen the faces of several princes!
The result?
Where's the result?
Could it be that he used the way of dreams to teach the princes?
So in fact, it doesn't matter what reason Emperor Jin used to reward Xia Sheng, what matters is what kind of attitude His Majesty the Emperor wants to express!
Complimenting Xia Sheng at this juncture doesn't add fuel to the fire above the Pei family's head!
Isn't he afraid that the Sword Saint will completely rebel against the court in anger?
Although the Holy Order can be piled up to death by human life. But at what cost?
Why did Emperor Jin offend a saint-level venerable for the sake of Xia Sheng, a sixteen-year-old boy?
I haven't heard of the Pei family doing anything out of the ordinary to confront the imperial court and insult the dignity of the royal family!
For a while, people couldn't understand the situation.
It is said that even the most loyal judge to the Son of Heaven, Qin Shouzun, has not been able to figure out what the Holy Lord's will is trying to do.
So for the next few days, everyone in the adjudication department maintained an absolutely neutral attitude on this matter.
Neither to offend the Pei family, nor to find trouble with Xia Sheng.
Later, it was from the mouth of the head of the Li family that people finally learned the truth of the matter.
It turns out that things are far less complicated than everyone thinks.
Emperor Jin's holy decree was not announcing the suppression of the Pei family, let alone forcing the Sword Saint to rebel, but because he listened to the words of the Heavenly Master of Zhanxingtai and the Taiwei Daoist.
According to Taiwei Daoren, the opening of the Spring and Autumn Academy's Great Array that day was because of the calamity that came to the world, if the cause is not found, the country will not be a country in the future, and the world will be in chaos.
And all the teachers and students of the Spring and Autumn Academy knew that the vision of the sun and the moon shining together that day was actually caused by Pei Yuanji inspiring the things of the sage in his hand.
In other words, the calamity predicted by the Taiwei Daoist is Pei Yuanji!
Out of fear of the Pei family, the Taiwei Daoist kept the news hidden until Pei Yuan's body died, and then the old heavenly master entered the palace in a hurry and presented the astrological signs he had deduced in recent days to the palace.
For the opinions of Taiwei Taoists, Emperor Jin has always trusted him, and immediately issued an edict to reward Xia Sheng, who had made meritorious contributions to the "hoe and rape", and even asked Zhao Gonggong to go to the Spring and Autumn Academy in person to announce the decree.
As soon as these words came out, the three ministers present at that time all changed color.
It is said that Ye Xiang witnessed this incident at that time, but Ye Xiang did not protect Xia Sheng too much, but advised Emperor Jin: "The Pei family has a saint as the master, and the matter is big, I hope Your Majesty will think twice!"
In the face of the old prime minister's worries, Emperor Jin said something that would be famous in the future.
"I am the Son of Heaven, the Son of Kyushu, the rest of the saints, who are pseudo-saints, a small family, why be afraid?"
So in this autumn rain, in addition to the position of prince and teacher, Xia Sheng also had an extra title in front of his name.
National Son Festival Wine.
It was also in this same autumn rain that an old man of the Pei family, who had not been born for a long time, came to the outside of Luoyang City, but he did not enter the gate, only stood outside the city gate for a while, and then wanted to turn around and go towards Buju Mountain.
It's a pity that he was stopped before he even reached the gate of the Spring and Autumn Academy.
The person who came was also an old man, and the black jade cane in his hand was exuding warmth in the rain.
