Chapter 8: The Three Factions

As soon as Qi Xuansu and the others arrived in Fenglin Continent, they had already comprehended the power of eight million ghosts and gods, but Qi Xuansu also had a bold idea, since the Daomen could take the Qingqiu Mountain vein for their own use, then they could also incorporate some ghosts and gods, which was also a kind of razing to control razing. Among them, there are naturally stubborn and uncommunicable streams, but there are also people who are good at flexibility.

The eight million ghosts and gods should not be regarded as enemies in general, but should be carefully distinguished and then treated differently.

For example, Qi Xuansu mentioned the Suzuka Imperial Front, this mountain god is very good at cooperating with people, and it is said that she once helped the Fenglin Zhou Imperial Court crusade against another mountain god, Dayue Maru, so the image is on the positive side, which is obviously the object that can be wooed.

In fact, this is also a common decision. When the New Deal was implemented, it was to first win over one faction, stabilize one faction, and kill one faction, leaving only two factions. Then pull another faction, kill another faction, and only one faction remains. In the end, the only remaining faction was killed, and that faction was powerless to resist and could only wait to be killed.

At that time, there were three major factions, Xinrui, Guifu, and Xungui. Xinrui is a cutting-edge official who relies on the emperor's favor to ascend to the throne, and his attachment is to surrender to his ministers, and Xungui is an old man from Liaodong who follows the world.

First, the new faction and the affiliated faction will be activated??????????????? Killing each other, will Xungui be sad because of this? No, they will only feel that the emperor is still facing them, the old men of Liaodong, and those who are looking down on the wind are innocent. Therefore, it is the cutting-edge faction that is being wooed, the one who kills is the subordinate faction, and the stable one is the noble faction.

In this process, all those who opposed the New Deal were eradicated, and the rest were not formed, leaving only the Xinrui and Xungui factions. Xinrui is a knife, they have no merit, no foundation, can only be closely attached to the emperor, only to be the emperor's knife can highlight their own value, in order to have the need to exist, so in the second stage, use the new faction to kill the Xungui faction, at this time, the new faction will be sad because of the death of the old Xungui faction? They won't, they just think it's time for them to kill these old guys.

After the demise of the Xungui faction, only the new faction remained, and they rose to the imperial power and could not resist the imperial power, that is, the monarch wanted the ministers to die, and the ministers had to die. After such three steps, the main opponents were eliminated, the strong factional hills were dispersed, the centralization of power was completed, and the New Deal was successfully implemented.

The same can be said of the current situation in Fenglinzhou, where the ghosts and gods are recruited as new talents, and the feudal lords who surrender are regarded as attached, and the Toyotomi Prime Minister's Mansion is regarded as a noble.

In this way, the sludge and turbid water of Fenglinzhou were cleansed and the transformation was completed.

The rest of the trip didn't have too many waves.

After the wind and snow blocked the road, even if it was a group of wounded, after all, the foundation of cultivation was there, and they walked very fast, and when the sky was dark, they finally walked out of this mountain forest.

There is a stone tablet similar to a boundary monument not far away, because the Fenglinzhou script is mixed with a large number of Central Plains characters, so it is easy to identify, and the word "rice stone" is written on it.

Qi Xuansu said: "It seems that we have arrived in the territory of Fanshi County. ”

Tang Yongshui was a little surprised: "Just such a short distance, we passed through two counties?" ”

Li Mingshan explained: "The county of Fenglinzhou cannot be equated with our prefecture, it should be regarded as a county in the Central Plains. After all, the Central Plains is too big. Fenglinzhou is not bad, I heard that many small western countries are about the same size as our prefectures and counties. ”

Han Yongfeng sneered: "A small country." ”

Qi Xuansu said: "Let's pass through Fanshi County as soon as possible, and don't make a fuss." "Yes." Several people responded in unison.

On the other side, Qingwei Zhenren had already arrived in Xiujing three days ago.

That's right, the word "presence" is used in the newspaper of the Daomen Mansion.

The condescending attitude was at a glance, and Daomen did not bother to hide this attitude at all. In other words, Daomen wants to make one thing clear, Fenglinzhou should be the status of a vassal state.

However, the Fenglinzhou Imperial Court did not hide its own attitude, and directly gave Qingwei Zhenren a dismissal.

At the banquet to welcome the Qingwei Zhenren, the envoy representing the Emperor of Fenglinzhou actually said: "Today's imperial court is already poor, and it can't even hold a decent banquet, and this banquet is allocated by His Majesty the Emperor from the Inner Treasury, so we should thank His Majesty the Emperor for his kindness." ”

The court and the emperor here both refer to Fenglinzhou and have nothing to do with the Daxuan court.

When many Daomen real people heard this, they were all discolored.

Qingwei Zhenren only said one sentence: "We are all Bigu people, and we will not thank anyone." ”

After that, Qingwei real people brushed their sleeves and left the table.

The Daomen real people lined up in two columns and left in turn behind the Qingwei real people.

That night, Qingwei Zhenren summoned the Taizheng Minister of the Fenglinzhou Imperial Court in his camp and talked for half an hour. Also participating in the deliberations were the Chief Military Officer of the East China Sea Division, the Chief Deputy Hall Master of the Tiangang Hall, and the Chief Elder and Lieutenant of the Toyotomi Prime Minister's Mansion.

Around the beginning of the Tatsuki period, martial law was issued in the name of the Toyotomi Prime Minister's Office, and about 200 officials were detained, placed under house arrest, and subjected to censorship.

Although it was in the name of the Toyotomi Prime Minister's Office, it was clear to everyone that it was the spirit officials and the men in black who really carried out the orders. The spirit officer is responsible for arresting people, and the man in black is responsible for martial law.

No one could have imagined that the situation would change so quickly.

The next day, Qingwei Zhenren left the camp and went to Xiujing Xiangfu, where the Taoist warriors who had already infiltrated Xiujing assassinated Qingwei Zhenren on the way.

The cultivation of these Taoist scholars is quite good, according to the standards of the Daomen, all of them are celestials, and the person at the head is a pseudo-immortal, and he has the will to die.

This battle can be called tragic, four undead officers and one Taoist priest in the Daomen battle, twelve spiritual officers and Taoist priests were seriously injured, and even forced Qingwei Zhenren to take action in person, these assassins probably did not expect that Qingwei Zhenren, as a real person in charge of the army, carried an immortal object with him, and he himself was only a line away from the immortal and could take this step at any time. In the end, there were eighteen Assassins, thirteen were killed, four escaped, and one was captured alive.

This attempted assassination quickly intensified the contradictions in Xiujing, and Qingwei Zhenren once again issued an edict in the name of the Toyotomi Prime Minister's Office, no longer leaving room as yesterday, and ordered the whole city to search for the "Zun Zheng faction", and if they dared to resist, they would be killed.

Over the course of three days, 100 of the arrested ministers and daimyo were given a set amount of time to confess their problems, and in the end, 23 were sentenced to death, their heads hung above the city gates, and the forces of the Minamoto family, who had deep ties to the imperial family, were expelled from Hidekyo.

The last time it was only an ordinary official who was arrested, this time it was a powerful minister, and the effect was immediate, and Xiujing regained his calm in a short time.

Subsequently, Qingwei Zhenren issued a third edict, but compared to the first two, the third day edict was very interesting.

In the name of the Toyotomi Prime Minister's Mansion, Qingwei Zhenren pardoned a group of demons, that is, ghosts and gods, and sent the Onmyoji of the Tuyumen clan among the three major Onmyoji families as messengers, and summoned a group of mountain gods led by Suzuka Gozen in the name of the Fenglin Zhou Imperial Court.

The so-called onmyoji, originated from the yin and yang family among the hundred sons of the Central Plains, knows how to look at the stars, face people, and can also measure the direction, know the disaster, find feng shui, perform sacrifices, and at the same time take into account the use of talismans to subdue demons and eliminate demons, calling themselves Yin and Yang Dao, which is different from Tianmen.

Since the prosperity of the Onmyoji, the Fenglinzhou Imperial Court has set up the Yin-Yang Liao, whose status is similar to that of the Qin Tianjian, and the Yin-Yang Liao has set up a prefect "Yin-Yang Head", a Yin-Yang Doctor, a Doctor of Astronomy, and a Doctor of Calendar, two Doctors of Missing Carving and six Onmyoji. Its main responsibilities are to be responsible for the formulation of astronomy and calendars, and to judge auspicious and bad fortunes, to survey the physiognomy and feng shui, and to hold rituals, etc., and there are 89 people at its disposal.

Now Daomen controls the Toyotomi Prime Minister's Mansion, which represents the Fenglinzhou court, and naturally also controls the Yin and Yang Liao. In addition, Daomen also inherited some of the doctrines and views of the Yin-Yang Family, so he has some natural affection for the Onmyoji, and he is naturally entrusted with important tasks.

On the other hand, the Heavenly Gate, which represents the "Zun Zheng faction", is in political need and gives the name of "obscene cult" to the Yin-Yang Dao, and Shinto officially breaks with the Yin-Yang Dao.

All this also makes the mainstream onmyoji led by Tuyumen become a Dao Gate that can be trusted and ??????????????? with the forces.

Mt. Suzuka is located in Suzuka-gun, in Ise-kuni, which is adjacent to Kawako-gun, where there is a famous castle called Kobe.

In Suzuka-gun, there is also a feudal castle called Kameyama Castle.

Both castles belonged to the local feudal lords.

The Toyotomi Prime Minister's power in Ise was located in Yamada Castle in Tokai-gun, separated from Suzuka by Tatsuki-gun, Iida-gun, Ichishi-gun, and Anno gun, and these feudal lords did not necessarily intend to rebel, but their attitudes were also very ambiguous, and it was still unknown whether Tsuchigomon would be able to get to Suzukayama smoothly.

Even if he met Suzuka Gozen, it is also unknown whether this mountain god, known as the "black hat", would dare to take a huge risk to leave his territory and go to the unpredictable Xiujing to meet the real person of the Daomen who had just opened the killing ring.

In addition to Suzuka Gozen, there is also a fairly famous youkai known as the lord of the great rivers and mountains.

The so-called great rivers and mountains do not actually refer to the rivers and mountains, but the name of a mountain, and its owner calls himself "the wine swallowing boy", which is not only very ancient, but also the most well-known monster in the night walk of the hundred ghosts.

Located on the border between Amada and Kasa and the three counties of Heiankyo, Oeyama directly threatened the imperial family.

This has to mention the capital of Fenglinzhou, the imperial family lives in Heiankyo, and the Toyotomi Prime Minister's Mansion is located in Xiujing, the former is in name but not in reality, and the latter is in name but not in name, which cannot be regarded as orthodox.

This time, the king said, because of the word "king", the royal family, which had been elevated for thousands of years, began to move again.

At that time, the wine swallowing boy was rampant, seriously threatening the royal family, so the royal family sent the source family to kill the wine swallowing boy, and cut off the head of the wine swallowing boy, and the Taidao Angang used was also named "Tong Zi Che Angang", and with the Onimaru National Gang, the Great Ceremony Taiguang Shi, the Three Sun Moon Sect and the number of beads pill Hengji and called the "five swords of the world".

After the death of the Wine Swallow Boy, Ibaraki Boy takes his place and is determined to avenge the Wine Swallow Boy.

There are many legends about the relationship between the Ibaraki boy and the wine swallowing boy, some say that the Ibaraki boy is a subordinate of the wine swallowing boy, and some say that the Ibaraki boy is a female ghost and is the wife of the ghost king. However, one thing is certain, the Ibaraki boy is very hostile to the royal family and the Gen family who killed the wine swallowing boy. For the Daomen, this is enough, the enemy of the enemy, can be a temporary friend.
