Chapter 15: Undercurrents
After this battle, the capital Daqing, the Son of Heaven banqueted hundreds of officials, and the temples and markets were all very lively.
Chen Tang became famous in the first war and naturally became the protagonist of the banquet.
Some officials stepped forward to congratulate one after another, and during the banquet, they staggered and pushed cups to change lamps.
Of course, the attitude of the vast majority of officials towards Chen Tang is still relatively cautious, lukewarm, and seems to have some scruples.
The conflict between Chen Tang and the Xuantian Sect is not a secret in the government and the opposition.
In the eyes of some officials, this Chen Tang may just be a pawn pushed to the foreground by the Son of Heaven in order to compete for power with the Xuantian Sect.
If something happens, it can be abandoned at any time.
What's more, Chen Tang is not a top powerhouse at the level of a grandmaster, he is indispensable.
The reason why he won such glory and became an official was just a coincidence, and all forces continued to add fuel to the fire, which finally allowed him to get advantage and gain fame.
Chen Tang didn't care too much about other people's thoughts at the banquet.
He himself was unwilling to be an official in the temple.
It's too tiring to intrigue with these hundred officials all day long, and to deceive me.
This time I entered Beijing, just at the right time, to avenge the eldest Sun Ming, and at the same time, it can be regarded as a favor for Senior Brother Mingyuan.
Chen Tang drank heavily and ate meat in large chunks.
The wine in the palace is indeed not bad, although it is not as good as monkey wine, but it has a different taste.
The banquet dispersed, and Yuan Qingmo took Chen Tang away and stayed in the Wei Palace.
Today, there is no curfew in the capital.
Even at the time of the third watch, the streets and markets of the capital are still brightly lit.
General's Palace.
"What do you think of today's events?"
In a dimly lit room, without the slightest light, an old voice suddenly sounded.
"The emperor is a little anxious."
"Oh, how do you say?"
"The emperor is right, the source of many problems in the Qianguo is indeed the Xuantian Sect. But he had no foundation, and less than half a year after he succeeded to the throne, he began to implement a new policy. ”
"Every article of the new policy can be called benevolent government, good to the people, and this emperor can also be called a wise monarch. But the New Deal also had the purpose of weakening the influence of the Xuantian Sect. ”
"Like rectifying the rule of officials, during this time, the emperor arrested many people, all of whom were charged with unforgivable crimes, but most of these people have one characteristic......"
Speaking of this, the person paused slightly.
The old man then said, "Most of them believe in the Xuantian Sect. ”
"Not bad."
The man continued: "The most important purpose of the Emperor in creating the Qilin Division is probably to borrow your hand to purge the people of the Xuantian Sect in the court. The first step is to start with the Four Elephants. ”
"In the battle for the unicorn list, it seems that the emperor has won a game, but in fact, his situation has become more and more dangerous."
"The founding of the Qianguo, the Xuantian Sect occupied the first credit, and the people's desire at the beginning was that Emperor Qiandi was chosen by the true dragon of the Xuantian Sect. This means that if the new emperor is not controlled, the Xuantian Sect can use the name of the true dragon to choose someone else. ”
The old man asked, "The Xuantian Sect kills the king?" ”
The man said: "The notoriety of killing the king, the Xuantian Sect is afraid of reputation, and may not do it." But they had many ways to make the emperor lose his popularity and prestige, and then borrow the hands of others to accomplish his own goals. ”
"Shall I save it?"

"Then it depends on what the predecessors are trying to do? If you just want to be a loyal minister and save the emperor, you will definitely be able to be a great minister in the future and enjoy all the glory. But if the predecessors want to get involved in the world, there is no need to save it. ”
The old man asked, "What is the relationship between the two?" ”
"I have observed in the past few days in Beijing that the moodiness and cruelty of the current emperor and the old emperor are completely different, and through the new policy, we can see that he is indeed a benevolent monarch who cares about the people."
"If there is no Xuantian Sect to restrain it, in less than ten years, the Qianguo will be prosperous, the country will be stable, the people will be stable, what chance can the predecessors have?"
The room fell silent for a long time.
After a long time, the old man said: "If the Xuantian Sect chooses someone else, it is nothing more than two candidates, one is the King of Qinghe who is imprisoned in the capital, and the other is the current prince, neither of them is a benevolent lord. ”
"Oh?"
The man was a little surprised and asked, "The crown prince has been with the emperor since he was a child, and he has suffered a lot outside, so he has a different temperament from the emperor?" ”
"The dragon gives birth to nine sons, each of them different."
The old man snorted lightly: "It is said that when he first entered Beijing, he was quite normal, but during this time, Xu is nature was exposed, and he became more and more lawless. ”
The man said: "That's the best, the prince ascends the throne, the people are not happy, thieves are rising, and the world is in chaos, which is the opportunity for the seniors." ”
"How's your old ministry doing?"
"Contact a few dragon and tiger guards, they are gathering everywhere, there are more than 10,000 people. It's just that many of them are old and have little combat effectiveness. ”
"Continue to contact, the number of people in the old ministry of the former dynasty is more than that."
……
Xuantian Temple.
Late at night.
In the courtyard of the sect leader's dormitory, two figures sat at the table, drinking tea to the moon.
One of them is the Xuantian Sect Master, and the other is Taiwei Yu Wenmao!
Yu Wenmao asked: "The Arhat is the fruit of the Buddha Gate, and the Lion Tiger Arhat who is sealed by the Holy Lord today is probably trying to use the influence of the Buddha Sect to suppress the Xuantian Sect." ”
"And I just heard that the Holy One wants to use the influence of this time to compile a volume of the Great Yunbao Rain Sutra to spread the Dharma and at the same time prove that he is the reincarnation of the Buddha, descending into the world, and benefiting all sentient beings."
The Xuantian Sect Master frowned.
The emperor is getting more and more inches.
The Son of Heaven of the Qianguo Kingdom has always been the true dragon of the Xuantian Sect.
Yuan Qingshan's move seems to be ordinary, it seems that he is just building momentum for himself, but in fact, he wants to use the influence of Buddhism to break free from the shackles of the True Dragon Son of Heaven and get rid of the influence of the Xuantian Sect on him!
Even if one day, the Xuantian Sect said that the true dragon chose someone else, Yuan Qingshan could still prove that he was destined to return.
The Xuantian Sect Master said lightly: "I originally wanted to destroy the Qilin List with the help of the barbarians and teach him a lesson, but now it seems that I underestimated him." ”
Yu Wenmao said: "Not only that, but the new policies implemented by the Holy Lord during this period are probably also aimed at the Xuantian Sect. ”
"For example, the law is set for light punishment, which is ostensibly light punishment and benevolent government, but in fact the focus is on law enforcement. The laws of the Qianguo were revised to target the Xuantian sect, and in the future, the Xuantian sect members who violated the law would also be punished by the imperial court. ”
The Xuantian Sect Master smiled, shook his head and said, "I just ascended the throne and can't wait to do anything to the Xuantian Sect, it's really overwhelming, the grasshopper shakes the tree!" It seems that the old emperor didn't teach him, so he didn't come to provoke the Xuantian Sect. ”
"If you want to fight with me, then I'll play with him."
"Will the plan be released?"
"The emperor promotes benevolent government and wants to win the hearts of the people, then I will let him lose the hearts of the people!"
"What if he still won't give in?"
"Then replace him."
