A powerful cultivator like Liu Baijun Mo Ye Su has always existed, and the world of a thousand years ago was originally the world of strong cultivators, whether it was a royal family or an ordinary person, they were just poor people who were struggling to breathe in the cracks.

It's just that there are saints out of the millennium, and with the construction of the Tang Dynasty and the corresponding changes in the Xiling Temple, this situation has undergone a fundamental change.

With the two great mountains of the Academy and the Xiling Temple, no matter how powerful a cultivator is, he must obey the rules of the world—unless he can cross the Five Realms—but when he crosses the Five Realms, they will find that the sky above their heads is always shrouded in a blue sky, so that they cannot get out.

Now that Fu has ascended to the sky, the sky seems to have no intention of caring about the world anymore, and the Xiling Temple has suffered great losses in the war, and the deterrent power of the two mountains and a piece of blue sky is weakening.

In this case, a powerful cultivator could naturally breathe more fresh air, not to mention someone like Sword Saint Liu Bai who could cross the threshold of the Five Realms at any time as long as he was willing. So it became a natural thing for the emperor of the Southern Jin Dynasty to die quietly, because he didn't understand the changes in the world at all.

The stronger the people, the more freedom they have, and once they have the ability to put this freedom above the world, the world will inevitably fall into chaos, just like those wild years before the emergence of the Tang Dynasty.

Now it depends on whether a temple guest like Liu Bai still has enough respect for Haotian Daomen, and at the same time, it depends on whether the people in the academy can open an umbrella for the people in the world like their husbands.

If you only look at it from the moment, the Xiling Temple has been weakened the most in this war, but the Haotian Dao Sect has dominated the world for countless years, and the depth of the heritage is unimaginable, and no one knows which mountain is in the humble Taoist temple, whether there is still a hermit who knows the fate realm.

Except for the serious injuries of the seven masters, the strength of the Buddha Sect was basically not greatly affected, whether it was the Buddha Sect walking the Seven Thoughts or the monks and soldiers of the Hanging Temple. They didn't join this war, just because of the concept of Buddhism itself, they shouldn't have done anything too active.

In addition to the two sects of Dao and Buddha, the strongest of all the forces in the world is the Golden Horde Royal Court, except for those wolf-like cavalry, the national teachers of the royal court and the more than ten high priests are enough to deter the vast majority of cultivators.

The Southern Jin Dynasty Sword Pavilion has begun to show its edge, and I believe that the gate valve families around the country have been low-key for many years. I dare to come out and see the light of day in this stormy time. The secular world, which has been controlled by the three unknowable places for countless years, will inevitably become chaotic, and no one can see where it will go in the end.

If you want to see the future of the human world clearly, all the cultivation sects must keep an eye on the academy in the south of Chang'an City, no matter how silent the academy is now, but it is a academy after all.

......

......

"From now on, it will be a world of strong cultivators. Unless the husband returns to earth. Or the Xiling Temple will recover its strength in the shortest possible time, otherwise it will be chaotic for at least a while. ”

Ning Que looked at the carriage through the green curtain and said, "You should be soberly aware of this now." Those ministers should also recognize this and then learn to accept reality. ”

Coming to Chang'an City in the new year, the situation is also a little chaotic and complicated. When the powerful external pressure exerted on the Tang Dynasty by the coalition forces of the Xiling Temple and the cavalry of the Golden Horde Court temporarily disappeared, some hidden problems within the Tang Dynasty and the opposition, which had seemed to be monolithic, gradually surfaced.

Especially a few days ago, after the death of Huashanyue came from the front line, the entire Chang'an City was shaken.

Hua Shanyue is a brother of the family. A few years ago, he became the head of the Sanzhou Town Army in Gushan County, and he was quite powerful in the army, with a very high status, and was very optimistic about becoming the future Tang Dynasty general.

In the Tang Army, the horse leather shroud has never been just the sorrow of ordinary soldiers, it is very common for generals to die on the battlefield, and generals with a higher level than Huashan Yue died from the enemy's arrows, I don't know how many times it has happened in the thousand-year history of the Tang Dynasty. Logically speaking, the news of Hua Shanyue's death in battle will definitely cause grief and regret among the government and the opposition, but it will not cause such a violent shock.

But that's not the case. Because Hua Shanyue, as the head of the Sanzhou Town Army, does not need to take the lead, at least not in the period when the war is calming down, he also needs to lead his subordinates to rush to the dangerous battlefield. The most important thing is that everyone knows why Hua Shanyue was sent to the Zhenbei Army by the academy.

So the news of Hua Shanyue's death ignited the anger of the princess's faction of officials in a very short period of time. After the end of the court meeting the day before yesterday, the white-haired Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites burst into tears at the palace wall and shouted: "Even if you are guilty, how can you die without trial?"

The Ministry of Rites is a big figure in the princess faction. There are many people like him in the court, not to mention that the Hua family is a Tang family, and I don't know how many close protégés are old.

If the queen and the academy choose to purge the forces between the government and the opposition at this time, it will inevitably hurt people's hearts, but if they don't hurt people's hearts, people's hearts will inevitably become chaotic.

The fact that the queen mother is the holy daughter of the Demon Sect is still unacceptable to many people in the Tang Dynasty and the opposition until now, and the most dangerous thing is that if the rebellion in the hearts of the people is linked to the accusations of the Daomen against the Tang royal family, it will inevitably bring great trouble to the Tang Dynasty. As for the Xiling Temple, there has not yet been a public opinion offensive in this regard, but everyone knows

Dao, this is only a temporary calm.

There are many carriages parked in front of the red sleeves, but the building is very quiet, and you can't hear the sound of silk and bamboo, you can't hear the music, you can't hear a dance, and you can't hear the sound of cheers and applause.

There were more than ten tables in the hall, and the people sitting behind the cases were all important figures of the princess's faction, and these people were either angry, thoughtful, or calm.

No matter how much they felt in their hearts, they looked at the table in front of them with indifferent eyes.

The table was placed in front of it, separated from the more than ten tables by some distance, Ning Que sat behind the case, quietly looking at the more than ten ministers with different expressions in front of him.

He was the thirteenth gentleman of the academy, and no one in the entire Tang Kingdom dared to be disrespectful in the slightest, but no one paid attention to him at this time, so he seemed very lonely.

Ning Que is very accustomed to this kind of loneliness, whether it is in Minshan or in the wasteland, he is used to this kind of life.

He raised the wine jug, filled the wine glass in front of him, looked at the more than ten ministers in front of him, and said: "I know what you are thinking, you are unwilling, or unconvinced, or you have doubts about the queen mother, or think that I have done something very inappropriate. ”

The ministers raised their eyebrows slightly, thinking to themselves, do you really dare to admit it?

Ning Que raised his glass and said: "But I won't explain it to you, because I don't need to explain, the Tang law is above, and the rules must always be observed, when my Tang army can go south out of Qingxia and recover the Qinghe, or go deep into the wasteland and burn the golden tent, then we will talk about these things today." ”

One of the ministers said, "What do you mean by Mr. Thirteen letting us come today?"

Ning Que said, "I want you to shut up. ”

The minister was furious and rebuked, "Why are you telling us to shut up?"

Ning Que said: "There is no evidence, rumors are spread everywhere, it is to be framed, and at this moment, doing this kind of thing is treason, you should know the severity, if you don't shut up, then what do you want to do?"

"We want to see Her Royal Highness. ”

"No, I can't. Ning Que said: "Your Royal Highness is a guilty body, no one can see it, if you insist on seeing it, then tomorrow will start the trial of Her Royal Highness the princess tampering with the edict of the previous emperor." ”

"Then let the trial begin. ”

The silent Ministry of Rites Shangshu finally spoke, his voice was a little tired and a little gloomy, and said, "At least I can't watch His Highness die quietly like General Hua. ”

Ning Que looked at the wine glass in his hand, was silent for a moment, and then said, "Then I'll see." ”

With these words, the bead curtain behind him moved lightly, making a crisp and pleasant sound, and Li Yu, who was wearing a palace skirt, walked slowly into the hall accompanied by two maids.

There was a sudden sound of dishes hitting in the building, and more than a dozen ministers stood up one after another, looking at Li Yu's face with a look of shock and excitement, and only woke up after a long time, and saluted each other.

This is the first time Li Yu has left the princess's mansion since the incident, and it is also the first time that these people in the court have seen her.

Li Yu looked at these ministers, thinking that they had reached the current situation, and these people still did not abandon him, and his heart was inevitably moved, and he thanked him: "Thank you." ”

The ministers said in unison: "Don't dare." ”

Ning Que held the wine glass and looked at the wine glass, as if he was an outsider.

Then he raised his head, looked at the ministers, and said, "If you can't calm down like this, I can assure you that Her Royal Highness the Princess will definitely not die quietly like Hua Shanyue, I will let her die in front of you, so that everyone in the world can see the picture of her death." ”

The ministers were still immersed in the excitement of seeing His Highness, and suddenly listened to what Ning Que said, and suddenly felt as if they had been stabbed by an ice blade, and the chill penetrated through their internal organs.

A young general sitting in the corner shouted angrily: "Who dares to touch His Highness!"

Ning Que drank all the wine in the cup, got up and left the hall, and walked upstairs.

He did not answer the young general's words, and none of the ministers in the hall answered the young general's words, and the building was extremely quiet, and only the sound of people's rapid breathing could be heard.

Because of anger, but also because of nervousness, and because of fear.

They finally remembered at this time that Ning Que even dared to kill the emperor.

......

......

In the room on the top floor of the red sleeves, the table is covered with embroidered cloth, a celadon bowl contains white fungus soup, and the bottom of the porcelain bowl is pressed against the gorgeous peony flower.

Ning Que drank the white fungus soup, wiped his mouth and said, "Just drank a glass of wine, you don't need to wake up." ”

Jane said, "The problem is that you haven't eaten much of the snacks on the table. ”

Only then did Ning Que know the movement downstairs before, and she had been watching it all the time, and said, "These days, I really haven't been in the mood to eat. ”

Jane said, "I asked Shui Zhu'er to cook rice balls, remember that you like to eat this." ”

"Thank you, Aunt Jane. ”

Ning Que paused for a moment and continued: "Tonight's matter, the academy is for Aunt Jian. ”
