Chapter 17 The Old Affair of the Su Family
Half a month later, Su Shousi rushed to Xuanjing with Chihai.
Before the shape was clear, Zong Ya and the others still stayed in Wushan, and they were not in a hurry to enter Xuanjing to reinforce Chen Xun.
From Su Shousi's side, Chen Xun knew that Su Yuan, the ancestor of the Su family, was really persecuted by the clansmen, so he angrily led his relatives and generals to leave Yuzhou.
Su Yuan had no foothold in Yunzhou, so he could only lead his clansmen west out of Tushan Mountain to compete with the Black Python people for living space.
A thousand years have passed, and many things have become wrong.
The family that persecuted Su Yuan back then, and then was expelled from Yuzhou by Su Muchen and Su Junchen brothers and moved to southern Xinjiang to gain a foothold.
"This old thing, the ancestor remembered a lot of hatred when he was alive," Su Shousi stood in front of the north cliff of the lion hump with the wind in front of the wind, and said slowly, "But for me and the others, it is already an old thing that has disappeared in smoke. The sect is mainly based in Xuanjing, vertical and horizontal, and must not be disturbed by these old things. ”
Chen Xun nodded and said, "My reputation in Xuanjing is not very good, and most of those deep-rooted sects and clans look down on me in their hearts. Without the right grip, I'll easily be isolated, and when the Red Eyebrow True Monarch returns to Xuanjing, the situation will become even more passive. Qingwangfu and the Yuzhou Su family, no matter what their thoughts are, they can indeed provide us with an opportunity. ”
Su Shousi nodded and said: "Don't talk about King Jiang Lan of Qing, the Su clan of Yuzhou, as the descendant of the thirty-six divine generals who accompanied Emperor Xiwu to conquer the Ji clan back then, has a foundation in Xuanjing that is better than that of the Red Eyebrow True Monarch." ”
Chen Xun has been in Xuanjing for more than half a month, and he has not left the Lion Hump Peak much, but the grandeur of his divine consciousness is huge, huge and incomparable, and the faint aura of three or four hundred miles around him cannot escape his divine sense.
From the gossip of the servants and stewards of the nearby mansions, Chen Xun had a further understanding of the situation in Xuanjing.
At this time, the Su clan in Yuzhou took Su Muchen as the suzerain.
Su Muchen only cultivated in the late stage of the Yuan Dan Realm, and among the descendants of the thirty-six divine generals, there are many people who are stronger than him, even within the Su clan in Yuzhou, there are many strong people in the Law Realm realm.
Su Muchen's ability to preside over the affairs of Yuzhou is indeed due to his extraordinary strategy, and his younger brother Su Junchen is extremely talented, and he is already a powerhouse at the peak of the Faxiang Realm, and it is rumored that he is one of the strongest people in Yunzhou who is most likely to advance to the realm of heaven and man in the next few hundred years.
Su Junchen is also the commander of the Divine Guard Army, and he is a powerful figure in Cetianfu.
Led by the five great princes, Cetianfu recruited disciples from various sects to serve as captains, generals, doctors, etc., most of which were fictitious titles, and it was difficult to grasp real power.
The real power of Cetianfu, especially the power of Shenwei and Shenfeng, was almost all hereditary by the descendants who followed Emperor Xiwu to conquer the thirty-six divine generals of the Ji clan.
The commanders of the Divine Guard Army and the Divine Beacon Army are usually only controlled by the five major monarchs, and they have considerable independence, and the low-level officers are almost all from the Xuanmen Dojo founded by the thirty-six divine generals, and the ordinary armor soldiers are also from the vicinity of the thirty-six major counties outside Xuanjing, and they will basically only be loyal to the descendants of the thirty-six divine generals.
Chen Xun was awarded the title of General Zuo Duwei at this time, but it was only a false title, if he could be directly incorporated into the Su Clan's Divine Guard Army, he would be able to minimize the interference of Chunling Jun and Red Eyebrow Zhenjun on him.
And the intention of Qingwang Jiang Lan to woo before is the same.
Thinking of this, Chen Xun asked Su Shousi: "Tell me, why does King Qing want me to be directly assigned to the Divine Guard?"
Su Shousi stood on the north cliff of the Lion Hump Peak, his wide robe sleeves fluttering in the wind, his brows frowning slightly, staring at the mountains and mountains of Qianlong Peak, thinking for a while, and said: "I came to Xuanjing a few years ago, and I didn't have contact with Su Muchen and them, but I heard some rumors about Emperor Xiwu. King Qing's actions at this time may have something to do with this rumor......"
"Oh," Chen Xun asked, "what rumors?"
"Emperor Xiwu has not shown up much for almost five hundred years, and many affairs in Yunzhou are handled by the princes of Cetianfu, it is said that this is because Emperor Xiwu has long mastered the Great Dao and entered the Nirvana realm. Su Shousi said.
"It's indeed very possible," Chen Xun thought for a while, nodded and said, "Haoran Heavenly Dao doesn't care whether Emperor Xiwu is the son of heaven who rules Yunzhou or not, whoever enters the Nirvana realm still wants to make a public appearance in Yunzhou, and he can deal with the bombardment of the thunder tribulation first." Emperor Xiwu has not shown up for all these years, and he may usually hide in the Tianjun World to practice. ”
"If Emperor Xiwu stays in the Tianjun Great World, it can be regarded as returning to the Jiang royal family," Su Shousi said, "However, even if Emperor Xiwu has the support of the Jiang royal family and successfully expels the Ji clan from ruling Yunzhou, he will always be a side branch of the Jiang royal family's legacy of Yunzhou. It is not easy for Emperor Xiwu to gain a foothold in the Tianjun Great World, where the strong are like forests, and he will even be squeezed out from within the Jiang royal family......"
Chen Xun nodded, understanding what Su Shousi was about to say.
The Jiang family, which dominates one side in the Tianjun world, can be traced back to the period of ancient gods and demons, and is called the Jiang royal family in some documents in Yunzhou, and the Jiang family in Yunzhou can only be regarded as a side line of the ancient Jiang royal family.
The relationship in this is the same as that of the Canglan Su clan and the Yuzhou Su clan, the relationship is extremely estranged at times, and it can even be said that they do not get along with each other in old age, but because Emperor Xiwu led the Jiang clan of Yunzhou to expel the Ji clan four thousand years ago and called it Emperor Yunzhou, so as to get the attention of the Jiang royal family.
After Emperor Xiwu broke through the realm of heaven and man and entered the realm of Nirvana, if he did not want to give up his secular power, there were only two choices, one was to extract a large number of elites from Yunzhou to help him open up territory in the Tianjun world, and the other was to return to the Jiang royal family and obtain the corresponding status within the Jiang royal family.
Judging from the current situation, it is more likely that Emperor Xiwu is advancing two things at the same time.
Su Shousi continued his speculation: "Over the years, the thirty-six armies of the Ce Tianfu have rarely interfered in the affairs of the domains, and they should be transferred by Emperor Xiwu to the Tianjun Great World in turn, and once Emperor Xiwu has a firm foothold in the Tianjun Great World, the throne of Yunzhou will inevitably be passed on to others......"
Chen Xun nodded, before the Red Eyebrow True Monarch, there were only four Heavenly and Human Realm True Monarchs in Cetianfu, and their strength was not even much stronger than that of the Longmen Sect.
Obviously, a large number of strong people in Cetianfu have been transferred to the Tianjun Great World by Emperor Xiwu, maybe there are still many people alive in the world among the thirty-six divine generals of the year.
Once Emperor Xiwu gained a firm foothold in the Tianjun Great World and was recognized by the Jiang royal family, there was really no need to fall in love with the throne of Zhanyunzhou again, and the clouds that shrouded Xuanjing during this period of time were actually secretly wrestling with each other for the continuation of the throne.
Thinking of this, Chen Xun smiled lightly: "It seems that it is time to go and meet King Qing again." ”
"Whoever the throne of the Yunzhou Emperor is passed on, the sects and the princes of the Cetianfu must be able to speak, but in the end, it is mainly based on the opinion of Emperor Xiwu himself," Su Shousi said, "At this time, Emperor Xiwu took turns to recruit all the troops into the Tianjun Great World to open up the ground for him, and whichever army won the most military exploits will undoubtedly have a greater impact on Emperor Xiwu." King Qing didn't want to be too dazzling, so as not to be left by Emperor Xiwu in the Tianjun Great World and unable to return to Yunzhou, but he fully supported the Divine Guards of Su Jiakong zhì, and he also wanted to occupy some more chips in the battle for the throne. ”
Chen Xun said: "Emperor Xiwu thinks about the succession of the throne, and he will not only consider his personal preferences, but if he still wants Yunzhou to become the rear of his foothold in the Tianjun Great World in the future, the heir to the throne he chooses, first, he must be able to fully grasp it, and first, this person must have enough ability to master Yunzhou." It's quite a headache. ”
After listening to Chen Xun's words, Su Shousi sighed with emotion: Those who are capable may not be willing to be controlled by others, and those who are willing to be manipulated by others may not have the ability to master Yunzhou.
Emperor Xiwu did not establish a new emperor for a long time, and concentrated the authority of Yunzhou in Cetianfu, which was not without reason.
On the occasion of the birthday of the lord of Yanling County, Chen Xun specially prepared a big gift and came to visit.
The lord of Yanling was favored by Emperor Xiwu, and on the day of his birthday, Emperor Xiwu also specially passed the imperial edict from Tianfu, giving banquets and spirit beasts and treasures.
Qingwang Mansion is located in the depths of Dongzu Longshan, covering an extremely wide area, only the banquet spring garden covers an area of ten miles, located on the bank of a spiritual lake.
Chen Xun and Su Shousi walked into the Qingwang Mansion with the welcoming steward, and saw that the spring willows along the Linghu Lake were full of colorful lanterns, reflecting the colorful colors of the lake and the sky, as if a sunset spread out for more than ten miles.
"King Qing's little life is really nourishing, I really can't figure it out, what kind of effort do you have to fight for the throne?" Chen Xun said with a smile and Su Shousi.
"What is Chen Zhenren laughing at?"
Chen Xun turned his head and saw Jiang Lan, the king of Qing, Jiang Mingtai, the master of Cetian Mansion, and an old man with long eyebrows wearing a pine crane robe, pacing towards the lake.
"Chen Xun has seen King Qing, Jiang Fujun, and Songhe Zhenjun," Chen Xun said, pointing to Su Shousi beside him, "Su Shousi is my Kuilong Pavilion Elder, and he can be regarded as from the Su clan in Yuzhou, Chen Xungang smiled with him and said, today I may be able to meet Su Muchen Su Sect Master." ”
"Su Muchen's temperament is slow, you may have to wait a while before you can see him. King Qing Jiang Lan said with a smile.
Jiang Mingtai only bowed slightly, which can be regarded as having received great gifts from Chen Xun and Su Shousi.
The old man with long eyebrows raised his eyebrows and asked, "Does Chen Zhenren recognize the little old man?"
"Chen Xun has never seen Zhenjun, but he has heard that Songhe Zhenjun, the mentor of the Lord of Yanling, is the first Xuan Xiu in the Central Domain, and Chen Xun has admired it for a long time. Chen Xun said.
"Haha, Yun Xian told you in front of me, I didn't expect Chen Zhenren to wear a high hat for people. Matsuru Zhenjun laughed.
"Father, why did you all come here?" Jiang Yunxian turned into a rainbow and flew over, stayed on the shore of the lake and said in a coquettish voice, his eyes turned to Chen Xun, and he suddenly became cold, and a face like a flower and jade seemed to be covered by severe frost, and asked in a cold voice, "Why are you here?"
"I offended the county lord a few days ago, and Chen Xun came to the door today to ask for sin. Chen Xun said with a smile, as long as King Qing Jiang Lan didn't drive him away, the county lord of Yanling would not be in his eyes.
Jiang Yunxian saw his father's frowning slightly, his mind suddenly quieted, changed his smiling face, and said: "Since you have the sincerity to come to the door to ask for guilt, and the lord of this county is not a narrow-minded person, you come with me, go to the other side of the lake to drink, don't get together with boring people like my father and master." ”
Chen Xun looked at the other side of Linghu Lake, Jiang Bin and many strange young people in gorgeous brocade clothes looked at this side very coldly, and smiled in their hearts, even if it was Longtan Tiger's Den, he dared to break in, why was he afraid to go to the other side of the lake to drink and feast?
Chen Xun smiled and saluted Jiang Lan, the king of Qing, and said: "The county lord has an order, and the prince, Jiang Fujun, and Songhe Zhenjun are here, and Chen Xun is lazy." ”
