Chapter 146: The Undercurrent of the Capital
Of course, even if it is a rebellion, he has no intention of dying in Shandong, and now at this time in a critical place like Shandong, it is a proper way to find death, after all, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is the lifeblood of the imperial court, and if Shandong is occupied, the imperial court is equivalent to losing Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which is unacceptable to the imperial court, even if the imperial court allows An Bangyan to grow, it will definitely kill him.
So once the momentum is unviolable, he will take the elite to Henan, from Henan to Huguang, anyway, as long as you loot Jinan Mansion, you can definitely get a lot of gold, silver and grain, in this world, as long as there is silver and food, some people go to him, with his strength, he can pull up a team anywhere, and he can't die here.
In fact, with his current strength, if he really wants to escape, there are basically not many people who can stop him, unless the strong people in the capital really come out, but with the strength he has to flee in embarrassment, this is not what he wants, he fled from Wei County because there was no way, and his strength was not enough to protect himself at that time.
Thinking about it, Jinan Mansion was already in sight, and Su Hao controlled the paper bird to fall.
………
Capital.
As the power of the eunuch party became bigger and bigger, Wei Zhongxian's shots became more and more ruthless, and the entire capital was filled with an aura of white terror, and everyone began to be cautious in their words and deeds, worried that if they were not careful, they would provoke Wei Zhongxian and bring blood and light to themselves.
Shifu.
The home of Cabinet Minister Shi Fenglai.
In the study, Shi Fenglai and Feng Quan each held a letter, their brows furrowed and their faces worried.
"Brother Shi, do you think those people can't stop for a while?"
Feng Quan sighed, "Now that Wei Zhongxian has gone crazy, if those people provoke him again, I'm afraid it will affect a lot of people."
Although he and Shi Fenglai both took refuge in Wei Zhongxian, it doesn't mean that they are willing to kill so many civil officials, there are rules in the court, and there is generally no deep hatred, most of them are just dismissed and demoted, even if there is a real hatred, most people will endure it, pay attention to being a person and leave a line, and see each other in the future.
But now Wei Zhongxian has gone crazy, in May last year, he ordered the arrest of Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou and others, and then killed several people in the Imperial Prison, and in February and March this year, Zhou Qiyuan and Huang Zunsu and others were arrested and imprisoned.
"It can't be helped."
Hearing this, Shi Fenglai shook his head: "According to Wei Zhongxian's posture, there is a great intention to kill them all, even Donglin Academy and Shoushan Academy were demolished last year, and if those people don't resist, sooner or later they will be fish on the chopping board."
"But those people secretly invited the righteous people of the rivers and lakes to try to assassinate Wei Zhongxian, which is too chaotic."
Feng Quan frowned and said, "Now that even we have received the news, Wei Zhongxian may not be able to receive it, if Wei Zhongxian catches the turtle in an urn, then a large number of people will die at that time."
The current Wei Zhongxian is already crazy, if Wei Zhongxian is caught, there will be no fewer people who will die.
Of course, he doesn't care much about the life or death of those people, anyway, Wei Zhongxian will not do anything to them even if he kills them crazy, what he is worried about is that Wei Zhongxian's power will rise again, since last year, Wei Zhongxian has been cultivating his own forces, and two months ago, he asked the eunuch Liu Yingkun to guard Shanhaiguan and control the military power of Shanhaiguan. ….
If Wei Zhongxian is allowed to find an opportunity to expand his power, they will really have to crawl under Wei Zhongxian's feet all the time, the reason why they defected to Wei Zhongxian is to be promoted to power, not to be a lackey to Wei Zhongxian, but if Wei Zhongxian's private power continues to grow, they will have no ability to resist.
Shi Fenglai also heard the meaning of Feng Quan's words, but he just opened his mouth, but he shouldn't say anything, they are still relying on Wei Zhongxian, and they can't stop Wei Zhongxian's actions at all, otherwise Wei Zhongxian can let them go back to their hometown with a word.
"Brother Feng, do you know who those people invited this time?"
After a moment of silence, Shi Fenglai spoke again.
"I don't know."
Hearing Shi Fenglai's words, Feng Quan shook his head: "However, one of my students has a friend who is involved, and according to him, there may be a few first-class martial artists and a martial arts master together this time
Hand, those people have already arranged for people to infiltrate the capital."
"Those people can invite martial arts masters to enter Beijing to assassinate them?"
Hearing this, Shi Fenglai frowned, although at their level, the martial arts master is nothing, it is not difficult to ask for help, but it is also limited, it is not a problem to ask for some small favors, but to enter Beijing to do the work of assassinating Wei Zhongxian, to put it mildly, those people really don't have this ability.
Those who can become martial arts masters, who are not apprentices and grandchildren, entering Beijing to assassinate Wei Zhongxian is a fatal errand, whether they succeed or not, they don't want to continue to stay in Daming.
If you don't succeed, you will have to die here on the spot, even if you succeed, the anger of the court is not something that everyone can afford, Wei Zhongxian is the governor of Dongchang, or Zhu Youxiao's personal companion, if Wei Zhongxian is killed, the entire capital will have a big earthquake.
Those people do still have some power left, but if they want a martial arts master to give up their foundation and accompany them crazy, it is basically a fantasy, unless they can come up with something that a martial arts master can't refuse.
"Maybe those people in Jiangnan made a move."
A strange color flashed in Feng Quan's eyes: "Wei Zhongxian's hand is stretched too long, how can the silver of those people in Jiangnan be so easy to grab, besides, the people in Donglin Academy are all pushed out by those people in Jiangnan, and now Wei Zhongxian has almost swept away the backbone of the Donglin Party, it is strange that those people are not annoyed."
During the reign of Emperor Wanli, he had been competing with those people in Jiangnan for benefits, collecting mining taxes, commercial taxes, and taxes, and these taxes were abolished until Zhu Changluo ascended the throne, but Wei Zhongxian re-established these taxes.
More importantly, Wei Zhongxian also abolished the Donglin Party that they had worked so hard to support, although the founder of the Donglin Party was Gu Xiancheng, but Gu Xiancheng really had so much influence among the officials.
Spread fame, promote momentum, hold various lectures or activities, which is not a white flower, these are all from those people in Jiangnan, there are many people in the world, if you want to be famous, in addition to your own strength is hard enough, you also need to promote the momentum, and you also need someone to tout.
Since ancient times, literati have been light, if it weren't for a large amount of white silver, which scholar would be willing to praise and flatter other readers, not to mention Gu Xiancheng or the degraded official Langzhong, before the rebuilding of Donglin Academy, he was not a famous Confucian in the world, no one helped to publicize and build momentum, how could it be that after repairing Donglin Academy, he became famous, and the world's scholars followed. ….
"It's just that those people got the wrong idea."
Shi Fenglai said calmly: "Wei Zhongxian is just a puppet, if one Wei Zhongxian dies, it's a big deal to raise another Li Zhongxian and Fang Zhongxian, and the eunuch Bingbi and the admiral of Dongchang don't necessarily have to be Wei Zhongxian."
"Brother Shi is cautious!"
Hearing Shi Fenglai's words, Feng Quan's face changed: "Your Majesty is just being deceived."
If Zhu Youxiao was just deceived, it would be fine, but if Wei Zhongxian's actions were all instructed by Zhu Youxiao, then it would not be a good thing for all civil officials, which means that Zhu Youxiao is ready to seize power from the hands of civil officials.
Once Zhu Youxiao really has this idea, it means that the status of civil officials is very likely to return to the early Ming Dynasty, thinking about Zhu Yuanzhang's methods to deal with corrupt officials, just thinking about it makes people shudder.
Seeing Feng Quan's expression, Shi Fenglai was just silent.
Outer city, Xuanbeifang, Caochang Hutong.
In a private house, three people are gathered together, and in the middle is a map, if there are people in the capital, they must recognize that the map is drawn a detailed map of the wealth square.
"Great Khan, this operation is extremely dangerous, why should you risk your life?"
One of them spoke.
"It's already in, so don't say anything about it."
The man known as the Great Khan shook his head and said, "Are you sure about the trend of the Great Ming Dragon Vein?"
"It's confirmed."
A man with a fox-like face pointed to a place on the map and said, "According to my secret investigation, the Ming Dynasty is deep under the earth, directly connected to the imperial palace, and has never been revealed, but in the past two hundred years, the stars have changed, the mountains and rivers have changed, and in the area from Huguo Temple to Wang Gongchang, the dragon vein has been about to appear
It's revealed."
"How deep is it from the ground, and can Ben Khan's strength touch the dragon vein?"
The man asked again.
"Less than ten feet."
The fox-faced man said with a serious expression, "If my divination is correct, at most two months, the dragon vein will be completely revealed, and at the same time, it will also cause a major earthquake, and we don't have much time left."
"Is that so?"
The man looked at the tall inner city wall not far away, and after a moment of silence, he looked at the other person, "Do you know when those people are going to assassinate Wei Zhongxian?"
"It should be in the last few days."
Hearing the man's words, the other said in a deep voice, "According to the news from the inner city that we have arranged, they have all infiltrated the inner city, so in order not to be discovered, it should not be delayed for too long."
"Then let's find a way to get into the inner city first."
The man said in a deep voice, "Let the news spread when Nei Ying is moving, take advantage of the disturbance caused by Wei Zhongxian's assassination, we will finish the matter, and then flee here immediately."
"My subordinates will go."
The other nodded, and walked out of the house.
………
Jinan Mansion Jinyi Wei Yamen.
In the attic, Su Hao looked to the north, now it is May of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, this year, the struggle in the capital has been completely popular, although Wei Zhongxian and the Donglin Party fought very fiercely, but basically maintained a bottom line, that is, not to hurt people's lives, but this year, there have been many Donglin Party people who have died in the hands of Wei Zhongxian. ….
Next, either like history, the carpenter emperor dissolves in water, and the Chongzhen Emperor who hangs himself on the southeast branch ascends the throne, Wei Zhongxian is finished, or history changes, the carpenter emperor does not dissolve in water, and the Donglin Party is completely finished, although history has never changed, but there are ghosts and gods in this world, and he can't guarantee that history will not change.
After thinking for a while, Su Hao retracted his thoughts, this year, in addition to secretly training soldiers, the rest of his time was basically put on cultivation, after this year's practice, his internal cultivation has reached ninety-nine years, reaching the limit of the second-rate level, he only needs to open up any of the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, he can reach the first-class realm.
The eight veins of the Qi Jing refer to the Du vein, the Ren vein, the Chong vein, the belt vein, the yang vein, the yin vein, the yin vein, the yang vein, the pure yang Wuji Gong wants to break through to the first-class realm, you need to open up the Yang Ji vein, according to the pure Yang Wuji Gong record, each time you open a vein, the internal force will increase by one percent, if all the eight veins are opened, the whole body meridians are unblocked, the internal force can be at least doubled, and the whole body meridians are unblocked, and the whole body meridians are unobstructed, which also represents stepping into the realm of martial arts masters.
Coming to the practice room, Su Hao took out a thousand-year-old ginseng that had begun to take on a human form, put the ginseng aside, and Su Hao focused his eyes on the system.
【Pure Yang Wuji Gong】(Pure Fire)
Point of enlightenment: 342
These more than 300 points of enlightenment are all his gains in the past year, and now after his many purges on the Jinan Mansion, there are basically not many martial artists or left-handed warlocks who dare to come here.
Pure Yang Wuji Gong, 324 points!
Hoist!
As soon as the thought moved, a large amount of knowledge about opening up the eight veins of the Qi Jing poured into his mind.
Su Hao endured the severe pain, closed his eyes and digested this knowledge, and after a while, the pain disappeared, and Su Hao slowly opened his eyes.
After picking up the thousand-year-old ginseng on the side, Su Hao turned his palm into a knife and cut it with one knife, and the whole ginseng was divided into hundreds of slices in an instant.
Picked up a few pieces of ginseng and stuffed them into his mouth, chewed them twice and swallowed them, and then Su Hao closed his eyes again and used the Yang Yuan Recipe to refine the medicinal power in the ginseng tablets.
However, this time, he did not refine the medicinal power into internal force, but used the Pure Yang Wuji Gong, and a powerful internal force enveloped the medicinal power towards the Yang Ji pulse.
If someone sees that Su Hao wants to open up the Yang Ji vein like this, they will definitely scold Su Hao for being a madman, the eight veins of the Qi Jing are not like other meridians that have been cultivated by internal force all year round, and they are already extremely strong and can withstand the operation of internal force
The eight veins are quite fragile before they are opened, and a little carelessness will cause damage to the meridians, and if the meridians are too badly damaged, it will even cut off the possibility of continuing to cultivate.
If you want to open up the eight veins of the Qi Jing, you can only rely on internal force to slowly grind through the way of water drop stones, and this kind of brutal impact is tantamount to suicide.
Rumble!
The internal force hit the Yang Ji Vein, Su Hao only felt that his body instantly felt like a river and the sea, and the Yang Ji Vein seemed to be torn apart, but Su Hao did not panic, the Qi Jing Eight Veins of ordinary martial artists are indeed very fragile, and he is an exception, in the past few years of practicing internal strength, he has spent a lot of internal force to nourish the physical body, the strength of his body has long exceeded that of others, and the Qi Jing Eight Veins are far stronger than others, this kind of dangerous move in the eyes of others is nothing to him.
Just as Su Hao thought, when the vibration in his body calmed down, the Yang Ji vein was not damaged, but was directly knocked open.
