Chapter 249: Cui Pi's Concerto
In the early morning of the next day, Cui Pi had already written the chapter and sent it to Chang'an with a fast horse of 600 miles. The content of the chapter is very long, but it can be summed up in a few sentences: Xuan Jianhong was loyal to the imperial court, but he was tragically destroyed by the rebels, and the Wangtian family assigned the minister to thoroughly investigate his case and severely punish the real culprit. He Changxi held an important position, refused to pay taxes to the imperial court, and was ashamed of the grace of the saint, so he should be removed from his position, and in accordance with the custom, he was replaced by a descendant of the Xuan family.
A few days later, the concert entered Chang'an, which was nothing less than a flat thunder. In the Chang'an Palace, Emperor Kaicheng, who lived like a year, saw the chapter, his heart was like a mess, and he was miserable.
Nearly 14 years have passed since the Manna Change. He was originally a dying body, but at this moment, the living Jin Dan, who was paid tribute by the Jin Dan Sect, survived and became a puppet in the hands of Qiu Shiliang. Over the years, I have been refining and nourishing qi, and I have begun to feel numb to my life little by little. His spirit had wandered into a distant fairyland, where he had found peace.
But recently, Cui Pi wrote a piece of paper, and injected a distant hope of putting things right into his heart. In the midst of desperation, the sudden faint hope is sometimes as cruel as torture. It reawakened his insensitive, giving him a distant sense of life, but he had to face the cruelty of reality again.
It's a lot like a prisoner who has been tortured to the point of being knocked unconscious and is once again woken up by a basin of cold water. Kaicheng Emperor Li Ang squinted at Qiu Shiliang, the lieutenant of Shence who was kneeling beside him, and hated it in his heart.
Qiu Shiliang has already cultivated to the eighth rank of demonic skills at this moment, and no one in the court can be used. Unless he commits suicide, even if he uses the power of all the domains in the world, he will not be able to kill this first person in the world who has broken through the peak of the seventh grade.
The opportunity for him to refine his demonic skills was the change of nectar. In other words, it was Kaicheng Emperor Li Ang who fulfilled him.
Prior to this, the DPRK and the Chinese court, the inner court and the outer court were in a state of relative checks and balances.
The prime minister of the outer dynasty was unable to get close to the saint, and the Hanlin scholars entered and exited the inner court, but they could get the favor of the saint, but they had no administrative power. The Inner Court Hanlin and Lieutenant Shence check and balance, and share Jun's grace. The southern and northern divisions check and balance each other and lead to containment. The troops of the North Division and the feudal town were equal, and there was no trouble.
Any tilt of the imperial power in it can be supported accordingly, and of course it will be constrained accordingly. This required the emperor to have a skillful and skillful skill of power to take care of it.
However, after Kaicheng Emperor Zhi was very talented, after promoting Qiu Shiliang and finally getting rid of Wang Shoucheng, his mentality swelled, and he began to be dissatisfied with the status quo of the central and southern Yabei Divisions controlling the government and making him tied his hands and feet. He felt that he was qualified to change the status quo.
At that time, his situation was that he was in a thorn forest, and he did not move without hurting his body. He had to jump, but he was naturally confused by reality.
Li Xun and Zheng Zhu, the new friends he promoted back then, were not only plastic friends, but also as ambitious and talented as him, and their mentality was inflated. If nothing happens, first calculate each other. One wants to fight for merit, and the other wants all.
Of course, the most damned thing is himself, at the last moment of the uprising, he was persuaded by Qiu Shiliang, and finally turned his back on Zheng Zhu and Li Xun.
At that time, Qiu Shiliang saw that the situation was not good, and said to him: "Zheng Li entered the court, exercised power and ministers, and changed the dynasty." We wait for the eunuchs to govern, no matter how high the authority is, Yu Jun Yongshi Nuer. β
At that life-and-death juncture, Li Ang's brain was confused, and he fell directly to Qiu Shiliang, which finally caused the Zheng Li party to fail and more than a thousand courtiers died, many of whom were innocent people who did not know about the coup d'Γ©tat.
What made Li Ang even more unexpected was that Qiu Shiliang didn't know who he learned from to build the world's magic skills, and he accumulated the way to create criminal karma, and in one day, he made continuous breakthroughs, fighting in Chang'an City, and was invincible.
He now finally understands the meaning of "eternal family slave" in Qiu Shiliang's mouth. Qiu Shiliang is about to reach the supreme realm of immortality, and it will not be Qiu Shiliang who will be the slave of the eternal family at that time, but Emperor Kaicheng.
Qiu Shiliang's bloody killing, not only destroyed the mechanism of the supremacy of imperial power, but also broke the backbone of the Tang Dynasty scribes. The honest and self-disciplined good ministers and celebrities were disappointed in the heavenly family, or returned to the countryside, or devoted themselves to the eight schools to seek the way of eternal life.
Emperor Kaicheng's restlessness alone did not change the fate of the empire, but instead made a peerless traitor and led the empire to the road of destruction.
Now Cui Pi's recital for Xuan Jian Hong's grievances can actually reach Li Ang's hands, which is of course a good thing done by Qiu Shiliang. He just likes to see Leon hate him and can't kill him.
At that time, Qiu Shiliang was promoted to lieutenant of the Shence Left Army, and in order to balance the great eunuch Wang Shoucheng, he made great contributions. But Emperor Kaicheng said that he would turn his face, and he was so cold that Qiu Shiliang naturally held a grudge against him.
"This ...... Cui Pi is in Shuzhong, but he wants to take care of Huainan's affairs, and he also wants to promote the orphans of the Xuan family to be the envoys of Huainan Festival, could it be that he is crazy?" Li Ang sighed helplessly and said in a trembling voice.
"The death of the Xuan family is confusing. It's not that we didn't want to take care of it back then, haven't we already handed it over to the Yangzhou Arrest Division Yamen to deal with?" Qiu Shiliang sneered, "Since the arrest department is not doing well, let the Cui family send someone to investigate, I heard that Cui Pi's son Cui Yu is a virtuous man in the world, and with 2,000 teeth, he thwarted Lei Yaya's plan to infiltrate eastern Sichuan and capture Bashu." I think he must be a good hand at solving cases. β
"Lieutenant, does he have to let Cui Yu concurrently supervise the imperial history and have full authority to investigate and deal with the destruction of Xuan Jianhong's family?" asked Li Ang.
"Exactly. Qiu Shiliang smiled indifferently.
Cui Pi's recital, which came to thwart the might of tens of thousands of witch soldiers in the Southern Wu Kingdom, was actually a means for the local festival envoys to expand their influence. Even if the central court reprimanded him, it didn't hurt him, but fueled his arrogance.
To deal with this kind of person, only by mobilizing the Shence army to go out and contacting the feudal soldiers to send Bashu to quell the rebellion, can the Cui family's wings be finally cut off and the authority of the imperial court can be demonstrated.
However, Qiu Shiliang naturally knew the cost of mobilizing the Shence Army. Once the surrounding Fang Zhen heard that the Shence Army had begun to mobilize, they would all follow the mobilization of troops and horses and make preparations with both hands. If the Shence army doesn't move them, they will send a scout horse to listen to the truth of Chang'an, and the Shence army will beat them if they move it!
Now the Tang Dynasty is in the strangest time in history. In peacetime, the Southern Ya and the monarchy were combined to balance the imperial forces of the feudal towns in various places. The feudal towns in various regions needed to bribe the eunuch groups to act as horns for each other and check and balance the imperial power.
But now, the eunuch group has become the head of the central court, and the feudal town has also changed from cooperation with the eunuch group to confrontation.
The eunuch group is now under extreme pressure. On the one hand, it is necessary to prevent the inner court and Hanlin from colluding with the foreign dynasty to seize power in one go, and on the other hand, it is necessary to prevent the local towns from sending troops to clear the monarch's side. The Shence Army didn't dare to move at all.
Xuan Jianhong also bribed the great eunuch Wang Shoucheng to secure the position of the Huainan Jiedu envoy. Who moved Xuan Jianhong, Qiu Shiliang himself didn't know. He only knew that Xuan Jianhong was dead, and he was also very uncomfortable. Xuan Jianhong died, no one sent taxes from the southeast to Beijing, and Chang'an's life became more and more difficult day by day.
Cui Pi's recital looks domineering, and he doesn't take Qiu Shiliang and Emperor Kaicheng in his eyes. But in Qiu Shiliang's opinion, he can only say one sentence: ouch, not bad.
Cui Pi used to be a staunch royalist, but he strictly abided by his duties and never dared to make mistakes. But since the defeat of Nanwu Kingdom, the ambition has finally swelled, and he wants to move the interests of Jiangnan. That's good.
Qiu Shiliang wanted Cui Pi's son to go to Jiangnan to investigate the case and find out who it was, so he would give the position of Huainan Jiedu envoy to the descendants of the Xuan family, and maybe he could restore Jiangnan Caoyun and relieve the Shence army.
If it can't be found, he will bury his son in Jiangnan, let the Bashu and Jiangnan forces make enemies, attack each other, and turn Cui Pi's Bashu army into a shield for the Shence army, preventing the forces in Jiangnan from counterattacking Chang'an.
Anyway, we must not let Cui Bi, who is growing in power, be idle. After he was free, he might have a hot brain, and he would take the meridian road to Chang'an, which would be difficult to deal with. Qiu Shiliang is now practicing at a critical moment, so he can't be disturbed.
Kaicheng Emperor Li Ang sighed, cutting off the glimmer of hope that had just risen in his heart.
He originally thought that Qiu Shiliang had something to do with Xuan Jianhong's death, but Qiu Shiliang's performance showed that he was basically a melon eater. The one who killed Xuan Jianhong was another person, and Qiu Shiliang used the strategy of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf to introduce the restless Cui Pi forces into Jiangnan and lead them to fight.
In this world, there are no people with lofty ideals who really care about the safety of the heavenly family. Back then, Emperor Kaicheng had already broken the hearts of these people with lofty ideals.
Li Ang picked up the pen, and under Qiu Shiliang's fierce eyes, he struggled to write the edict under Cui Pi's recital, and when he wrote it, a tear of remorse slipped from his eyes and dripped on the recital.
"Everyone thinks of the matter of Xuanfu, touching the scene, it is really touching, it is better not to archive and collect this edict, and send it directly to the province of Menxia for review, and the province of Fa Shangshu has implemented it, and it also let Cui Pi and the orphans of the Xuan family know that the grace of heaven is vast. Qiu Shiliang said coldly.
"Exactly. Leon whispered listlessly.
Qiu Shiliang pursed his lips and smiled.
Menxia Province, Shangshu Province...... are all Qiu Shiliang's tools, and this edict can be sent back to Bashu in a blink of an eye. The court under his power has become more efficient.
He couldn't wait to see what turbulent waves Cui Pi could stir up in Jiangnan.
Lei Changye, who returned to Shanjin Town from Huichuan Mansion, immediately ran to the Shushan Dao Palace to tell the head of the follow-up of the Ten Thousand Beast Frenzy. When he met the master, Lei Changye felt that the divine light in the master's eyes was getting stronger and stronger, and it seemed that he was about to catch up with Wu Daozi.
After he reported on the current situation in Huichuan Mansion, the head of the house opened his mouth and allowed him to use the mustard seed bag for life. At the level of the master, the five-grade magic weapon is interesting, but the accumulation of skill is the focus of attention.
Lei Changye can accumulate a large amount of merit for him with various sassy operations, so letting him have a mustard seed bag will undoubtedly benefit more.
Lei Changye also met with the other sect masters of Shu Mountain. Their momentum is increasing day by day, especially Huang Gongdao, who has risen to the peak of the seventh grade, and is on a par with all the sect masters.
After the report, the head of the family left him to stay in the Shushan Dao Palace for a few more days.
Lei Changye knew the intention of the master, and practiced diligently every day in the Dao Palace, and he didn't dare to sleep for twelve hours. He has been struggling to be stuck in the internal cultivation of the middle and fourth grade realm, and he is advancing by leaps and bounds like a flash flood, and he is instantly approaching the key point of breakthrough.
However, he realized that something was wrong!
