Chapter 729: Preparing for the Ceremony
Yang Jing was not too surprised by Zhao Yun's visit to Qingxia Temple, although this Qingxia Temple is a little secluded, but after all, it is under Phoenix Mountain, and the imperial city is in Phoenix Mountain, and the distance is not far.
Don't look at Zhao Yun's deep and simple life, and rarely go out of the palace, but it doesn't mean that he can't go out of the palace, especially when he encounters things like Jiaolong, it is a matter of course to come and see it in person.
It's strange to say, although Zhao Yun watched from afar, Yang Jing felt that the dragon behind him became extremely irritable, and he didn't know if it was because there was indeed a mutual conflict between the two, or if the evil snake raised this evil Jiao naked just to be able to kill Zhao Yun one day.
Of course, it is also possible that because of Hu Mingqiao and Nei Others, as well as Yan Mingzhi's forbidden army, there are too many people, which makes Evil Jiao feel the threat of death.
Beasts in nature are more sensitive to crises than humans, so before an earthquake or other catastrophe, animals such as cats and dogs are restless, while humans are confused.
Although Zhao Yun is His Majesty the Emperor, there are countless rare treasures in the treasure house, that is, all kinds of rare beasts, and they have seen a lot, and many rare varieties offered by small barbarian countries have also seen a lot.
There is still a wren brother in his palace who can say "long life without borders"!
It's just that he has never seen such a huge and evil creature, this dragon exudes the breath of death and decay, and the bloody aura spreads, which makes people have to be frightened!
"Yang Jing, this thing has been hidden in Qingxia Mountain?" Zhao Yun was also a little incredulous, after all, Qingxia Peak is also the peak of the northern foot of Phoenix Mountain, not far from the imperial city, if this evil Jiao goes down the mountain and rampages, I am afraid that half of Lin'an will fall into disaster!
Yang Jing naturally would not hide it, and said to Zhao Yun: "Yes, this evil Jiao is hidden in Qingxia Mountain, and it has been used by some people with a heart to create a fake auspicious rui, and the minister has the courage to speculate that this mountain wall can't be moved, in order to celebrate auspiciousness, if the official family is here at that time, that person will release the evil Jiao, and this hidden evil heart is a great rebellion that cannot be punished!"
Zhao Yun was also scared when he heard Yang Jing say this, because he had the intention to come over to take a look at Xiangrui, but fortunately, Yang Jing accepted this evil Jiao, otherwise he really wanted to come to see Xiangrui, and he would not let this evil Jiao be torn alive!
He subconsciously took half a step back, and saw that Hu Mingqiao, Yan Mingzhi and others were protecting him, so he felt at ease and said to Yang Jing.
"Yang Jing, this is a bad omen in the world, not a good kind, since you have the ability to subdue it, kill this thing, so as not to harm the world and poison the people!"
"Killed?" Before Yang Jing could react, the people present were already talking.
Because although this evil Jiao looks ferocious and terrifying, it is already under Yang Jing's control, if it is used well, it is an invincible existence in the world, and it is a pity to kill it like this.
Yang Jing saw everyone's reaction, and he also laughed secretly in his heart, everyone has this heart, Zhao Yun naturally thought about it, but he can't let go of it, after all, the birth of the evil Jiao means that the emperor is mediocre, at least the common people generally feel this way.
The only way to solve this problem is to overturn this conclusion.
Yang Jing looked at Ge Changgeng, and then said to Zhao Yun: "Official, although this evil Jiao is not auspicious, but it is not a bad thing, at present, the Mongolian army wants to take advantage of Annan to invade our southern region, and the minister is about to go on an expedition, if you can take this Jiaolong to go on the expedition, how can Annan be uneven? The Mongols dare not retreat?"
If it was during the Taizu period, he didn't even pay attention to Dali, thinking that it was not worthy of the imperial court to be included in the territory, and he was even more disdainful of wild places such as Annan.
But now that the territory of the Great Song Dynasty is shrinking, Annan has become a key place again, and being able to subdue Annan is a great martial art that will leave a name in history!
This is also why Zhao Yun "connived" at Yang Jing to set off a cannon in Yangzhou Garden, and shocked the envoy Nong Chi and others of Annan, but instead of reproaching, he also gave Yang Jing the dragon seed snow jade skull, this is his attitude towards Annan.
As Yang Jing said, if you can really use this evil Jiao to subdue Annan and defeat Mongolia, why kill it?
But if you don't kill this evil Jiao, won't the common people say that he is mediocre again?
Earlier, he had issued an edict of guilt because of Zhang Changling's tiger head battalion, but now he can't make another edict because he wants to subdue Annam and defeat the Mongols, right?
"Yang Jing, I know that this Jiao is very useful, but if you don't kill him, won't the people of the world think that I have offended the heavens, so they sent down such a vicious thing?"
When Zhao Yun said this, he had already lowered and eased his mind, and the subtext was nothing more than saying that Lao Tzu also wanted to keep it, but he couldn't stop the mouths of the people!
Yang Jing had expected it, and glanced at Ge Changgeng, who saluted Zhao Yun.
"Your Majesty, this thing is not only not a bad omen, but God is protecting the Great Song Dynasty, knowing that my Great Song Dynasty is going to send troops from outside, and specially sent this evil Jiao to help, the hearts of the people in the world are also open and accessible, how can they not know this?"
"Since Your Majesty has come to Qingxia Temple, why don't you move to Longshan Temple, and three days later, the old Taoist will join Songyan Zhenren, as well as the eight thousand Taoist friends of Longshan Temple, and hold a meeting to invite the gods, and the official family will personally ask the gods for instructions, and pray for the gods of the Nine Heavens to bless me and return with a great victory in the Great Song Dynasty?"
As soon as Ge Changgeng said this, Zhao Yun was suddenly stunned!
Ge Changgeng is an old immortal who responds to every call, and even he has the heart to leave Ge Changgeng in the palace to worship.
If Ge Changgeng and the Taoist priests of Longshan Temple hold a meeting to invite the gods, and he personally presides over it, when Yang Jing appears on this evil dragon, then everyone will subconsciously contact each other!
This evil Jiao is not a divine punishment from heaven, but he Zhao Yun, for the sake of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, invited God to come down to help fight the war!
In the past, if you win battles, the credit is naturally your Majesty's, after all, without the emperor's decree, who would dare to fight indiscriminately?
Moreover, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty had a bad habit of not trusting the generals, and before the battle began, he had already made plans with the people in the Privy Council, and even worked out what tactics should be used in the war, what kind of formation, and how to deploy, and it would be done step by step when the time came.
The Northern Song Dynasty was just that Zhao Guangyi's Northern Expedition was based on the so-called Great Array, and he didn't know how to change it, and as a result, hundreds of thousands of people were beaten into water dogs, and they were defeated, and the little bit of money that the Great Song Dynasty recovered from the sixteen states of Yanyun was defeated.
But in any case, even if the emperor did not drive the expedition and won the battle, the merit naturally belonged to His Majesty the Emperor, although it was somewhat deserved.
But this time it was different, His Majesty the Emperor personally went out to ask God and all the gods and gods to ask for the next evil Jiao, this evil Jiao shocked Annan and repelled the Mongols, Zhao Yun can take this credit with peace of mind!
Moreover, in ancient times, emperors liked to instill the concept of divine authority of kings, believing that God made them emperors, and they would always be emperors for thousands of generations, because this is the mandate of heaven and is irresistible.
As a common man, you must obey, people are born to be the emperor's family, and you, as subjects and people, must be unconditionally loyal to His Majesty the emperor!
If Zhao Yun can hold this ceremony and ceremony tomorrow, please go down to the evil Jiao, that is to say, God really responded to his request, he, the emperor, is the real person, the person designated by God!
There are too many benefits here, and it is not clear whether the Mongols can be defeated with this evil Jiao, but as long as this ceremony is held, the people under the world will really regard him as the true Son of Heaven, the real Son of Heaven, and who will dare to rebel in the future!
The more Zhao Yun thought about it, the happier he became, and he couldn't wait to hold the ceremony immediately!
He looked at Ge Changgeng, and couldn't help but feel sorry in his heart, such an immortal figure, with insight into world affairs, has already seen through the fetters of the world, and is an all-knowing and all-powerful 6 earth immortals, how good it would be if he could stay by his side.
Even if he doesn't show his real skills, he just needs to stand there, he has huge influence and appeal, if Ge Changgeng can accept his canonization, I am afraid that his imperial power will be more stable!
It's a pity that such a character is willing to stay by Yang Jing's side.
And Yang Jing is not to mention, this son can even surrender the evil Jiao, and can let Ge Changgeng stay by his side, doesn't it mean that he is even more powerful than Ge Changgeng?
And although tomorrow's event has a lot of benefits, it is a fraud after all, and it may be able to deceive the world, but Ge Changgeng and Yang Jing and others know the inside story.
Although this has countless huge benefits, it also makes Zhao Yun's handle fall into Yang Jing's hands.
Because others would never dare to resist Zhao Yun, but Yang Jing and Zong Yun were not things in the pool!
Zhao Yun originally wanted to unload the mill and kill the donkey, but when Yang Jing pacified Annan and retreated Mongolia, he hid the bow and let Jia Yidao take advantage of the situation to get rid of Yang Jing!
But later, I felt that although Yang Jing dared to contradict him as an emperor, he was loyal to the people and the Great Song Dynasty, and the idea of killing Yang Jing faded.
Looking at this scene now, His Majesty the Emperor's murderous intent towards Yang Jing is like a resurrection, surging again!
I don't know if I felt his hostility, or because the forbidden army was too slaughtering, the evil Jiao became irritable again!
Yang Jing glanced at Zhao Yun quietly, and saw that there was no murderous aura between his eyebrows, but instead of being relieved, he sighed lightly.
Because he knows that the more Zhao Yun encounters major events, the calmer he becomes, the more murderous he is, and the more indifferent he becomes!
He knew that Ge Changgeng's proposal had aroused Zhao Yun's murderous intentions towards him, but he didn't care about this, first, he was for the people of the Great Song Dynasty, not for Zhao Yun.
Second, Zhao Yun may not be able to kill him, annoying him Yang Jing, and he doesn't mind helping Zong Yun and pushing Zhao Yun, the emperor, down!
Of course, this is not an easy thing to do, but at least Yang Jing is no longer as jealous of Zhao Yun as before.
Zhao Yun also seemed to be afraid of exposing his murderous intentions, and said to Ge Changgeng: "Immortal Chang's heart is for the people of the Great Song Dynasty, which is the blessing of the people of the Great Song Dynasty. ”
Ge Changgeng slightly agreed, Zhao Yun was also overjoyed, and was about to leave, but turned around and said to Yang Jing.
"Yang Qing's family has subdued the evil Jiao, and I have been thinking about giving you a reward these days, but it is really inappropriate, after all, I have just been promoted to the marquis, and I am not in line with the ceremony, but what you do, I see it in my eyes and keep it in my heart, and you will continue to be loyal to me." ”
Yang Jing pretended to be frightened, but he was also thinking in his heart, Zhao Yun had something to say, and he couldn't help but be vigilant, it seems that it is time to find a way back for himself, otherwise he will really not be able to avoid the fate of the master.
Since Zhao Yun had left, Yan Mingzhi, Hu Mingqiao and others were going to follow Longshan Temple, and Xu Fo soon came to Longshan Temple, discussed with Yang Jing, and asked the Imperial City Division to spread the news everywhere and build momentum for the ceremony, and the more people who witnessed it, the more Zhao Yun's reputation would be!
