Chapter Seventy-Seven: Riding a White Horse Out of Yangzhou
The great god blessed death.
He died six years ago.
However, His Majesty's master, the mysterious "Mr. Wu", personally took action, and Yao Gao, who was still the commander of the 100,000 forbidden army at that time, personally conducted an autopsy to confirm it.
Then Yongtan believes that the great god Zhu is certain to die.
But what does the Great God Zhu mentioned by the man in black just now?
Could it be that the priesthood was personally involved in this rebellion?
If so, then the old man named "A" must have been in the know.
Could it be that the high priest wanted to avenge his eldest disciple, so he colluded with Chenghou and took advantage of His Majesty's expedition with the Dongbohou who was closest to Chaoge City, and wanted to usurp the throne when Chaoge City was empty?
Would the old man really do that?
At that time, the great god Zhu colluded with Tao Nan, Tao Bei and Zu Bao to jointly launch a rebellion, wanting to kill Zishou on a snowy night.
The high priest must have known about it, but he never did it.
He didn't stop his big apprentice from killing Zishou, nor did he stop Mr. Wu from killing the great god.
High Priest A, who wanted not to interfere in the government, what did he think in his heart?
And this time, His Majesty in the Heavenly Immortal Realm is far away in the East China Sea, and the Taishi Wen Zhong of the Xuan Immortal Realm has returned to the Beimang border to sit in the town, and the unfathomable Mr. Wu is in retreat.
Abikan could not be a monk.
I'm not here, the evil guy is not there, the big Sima Yin is not there, the hussar general Yao Gao is not there, and neither is Gu Ji, who was already gloomy at a young age.
Huang Feihu, the kid who likes to hide clumsy, is not there.
If Chenghou really wants to rebel, this is undoubtedly the most appropriate time.
But the reason why His Majesty can leave with peace of mind is because Chaoge City is also the ancestral land of the priest line after all, even if Zishou usually doesn't like the priest line, the priest line can't get used to this young king who doesn't respect ghosts and gods, but if someone comes to the door, the priest line, which accounts for half of the country in the court, will definitely take action.
As long as the high priest who sits firmly in the Jinluan Hall is still lying in the mansion of Guling Mountain, basking in the sun while petting the cat, then Chaoge City will definitely be fine.
Before the arrival of Wu Zhiqi, the high priest was the Dinghai Divine Needle of Chaoge City and even the Great Shang Dynasty.
It still is.
But what if even the high priest rebelled?
Yongtan, who has always been very gentle when eating, suddenly sped up, stuffed his mouth full, and his cheeks bulged high, he had never been so embarrassed to eat in his life.
Since none of you are here, and you don't know about it, then I'll do it.
Chopsticks fall and the food is left, and it will come.
Like a whirlwind of clouds, the dishes on the table were swept away, Yongtan got up and went out, and when he left, he didn't forget to take away the space magic weapon of the man in black and the house full of gold.
......
It's not that Yongtan is really such a foodie, it's time to burn his eyebrows, and he has to eat everything before leaving.
It's because he knows that he can't go to the valley without eating the fireworks of the world, and he can't fly to Chaoge City in one day, so on the way back to Chaoge, he won't have the opportunity to eat and rest again.
Then hurry up and replenish enough energy.
Then concentrate on hurrying.
——————
After ascending the throne, Zishou listened to the advice of the emperor's uncle Bigan, attached great importance to the construction of espionage agencies, and established an organization called "Fuyuan Pavilion" to plant hidden piles and spies in the palaces of the princes at various important passes of the Great Shang.
Fuyuan Pavilion has one elder, two elders, and thirty-six pavilions, all of whom are extremely loyal to the king of Shang and have been spies for many years.
And then there are countless hidden and widely distributed secret agents.
The position of the old pavilion is still vacant, I don't know who will hold it in the future, and the pavilion is also very mysterious, even if Yongtan is a neighbor of the Son of Heaven, I don't know their specific identity.
In fact, Zishou also had a secret purpose for this trip, which was to lay the net of Fuyuan Pavilion more secretive and detailed.
Originally, it was planned to start working on it after solving the problem in the East China Sea, but now even at the risk of being exposed, it is necessary to let Fuyuan Pavilion operate at full capacity.
From Yongtan's decision to play the identity of "Xiao Yan", to getting the vivid mask, to sneaking into the Chenghou Mansion to travel with Boss Zhang's convoy, it was all the precise planning and arrangement of Fuyuan Pavilion.
His direct contact was one of the thirty-six ministers.
Originally, according to the plan, Yongtan came to meet the other party to the transaction through Xiao Yan's identity, and after finding evidence and other officials involved in the transaction, he could take action against the Chenghou Mansion.
I never thought of anything so big.
However, these guys jumped out at one time, and the provincial master went to check them one by one.
Yong Tan thought to himself, released his divine sense to confirm that there were no people around him who were following him, and then turned around and entered the back door of the "Wanghai" tavern.
Although it was getting late, the chubby shopkeeper Zhao was still picking up the lamp to settle the accounts, the abacus in his hand was crackling, and a pair of small eyes on his kind face narrowed hard, looking at the account book under the oil lamp with some difficulty.
Yongtan suddenly appeared in front of him.
The middle-aged man who looked like he was just an ordinary shopkeeper was not panicked, and after seeing Yongtan's handsome face, there was a flash of joy in his small eyes.
"Something happened, Cheng Hou rebelled, he has arrived at Chaoge, and there are generals in various places near Yuzhou who have raised troops one after another......"
Who would have thought that the shopkeeper Zhao of the "Wanghai Tower" in Le'an County, who is famous for being good at management and making money in harmony, is actually one of the thirty-six high-ranking and powerful ministers of the Great Shang hidden in the dark.
Yongtan listened carefully to the account of the shopkeeper Zhao, and the names of the generals he said were indeed people close to the priests.
It seems that the man in black really didn't lie.
But since you want to rebel, you have to find a name, Chenghou can't think of it as if you want to say to the people of the world that because I sold refined salt to the Dongyi people privately, my nephew is going to attack me, and then I rebelled.
If you are a teacher, you must be famous.
The name is the reason.
"What reason did Chenghou use?" asked Yongtan with a solemn face.
"Chenghou said that His Majesty went on an expedition to Dongyi, and then ...... Died on the battlefield, he wanted to return to Chaoge and set up another little royal brother Jizi as the new king. ”
After finishing speaking, Shopkeeper Zhao looked at Yongtan with some expectation, although in the eyes of his old Jianghu, the level of the young man in front of him as an undercover agent was a little poor, but his control and decision on the overall situation were praised by His Majesty and Yaxiang.
Although Shopkeeper Zhao had only met him once two days ago, as long as His Majesty trusted Yongtan, then he would tell Yongtan all the spy reports he had obtained in the past two days.
Yongtan snorted coldly, Dongyi's national strength is weak, and he has always only dared to harass the Dashang border with a small force, and the total strength of the whole country is afraid that it has not reached 100,000, and this time Emperor Xin personally conquered, 180,000 tide flow knives pointed to the east together, which is Dongyi, a small land, can resist the enemy.
As soon as the man in black entered the Mahayana realm, he had the opportunity to become the Dongyi National Master, how could their high-end combat power threaten His Majesty, who was already in the Heavenly Immortal Realm?
If it weren't for the confirmation that there was no danger, Mr. Bigan would not have agreed to His Majesty's expedition to Dongyi.
Moreover, it was Zishou who went to Dongyi.
How could that wise and martial young man in red lose?
But all the courtiers who have seen Zishou will have a strong confidence in their majesty, and they don't know the reason, and they don't need to know the reason.
Your Majesty will not lose, let alone die.
As for the crash?
The old thing's face is really thick, it's really shameless.
Yongtan thought coldly.
His Royal Highness Jizi is eight years old, if he really becomes the new monarch, he is just a puppet merchant king, trembling under the obscenity of Chenghou, thinking that in a few years, Chenghou will abolish Jizi, and then replace it, fulfilling his wish in this life.
Chenghou has been thinking about it for a long time.
At that time, it was said that Chenghou was the most optimistic prince of Shang King Wending, and when he was young, Chenghou Wenwu was extremely courageous, and he was originally the most likely candidate to ascend the throne as the next Shang king, but for some reason he later became Emperor Yi, who was not very outstanding among many princes.
There are even rumors among the people that Di Yi tampered with the will before the funeral of the old Shang Wang Wending, so that he was able to ascend the throne.
After this incident, Chenghou did not enter the Chaoge City for many years, and asked to go to Yangzhou, the richest city, and became a rich man who seemed to be stable.
Maybe the legend is true, and Di Yi also has a little regret for this brother Wang, or maybe he simply doesn't want to do anything to this seemingly honest brother, so he has been turning a blind eye to Chenghou's behavior.
In the past 30 years, Chenghou has been hanging out in the Qinglou painting boat on the surface, spending all day drinking, but secretly but very boldly smuggling refined salt to Dongyi, making a lot of money.
It wasn't until this time that Zishou came to Yangzhou and was going to do something to him, and the old fox finally couldn't help it, revealing the tail he had carefully hidden for thirty years.
"The abacus is really crackling. Yongtan snorted coldly.
Shopkeeper Zhao stared at the abacus in front of him, a little embarrassed.
"I want a good horse, and if you send a message to the post stations along the way, you may have to change horses. Yongtan came back to his senses and put forward his own request, his expression was very solemn.
"You come with me. ”
Shopkeeper Zhao is a good horse man.
This has become almost common knowledge in the business world of Le'an County.
The backyard of Wanghai Inn is the residence of the shopkeeper Zhao, there are several good horses in the courtyard, and the shopkeeper Zhao has always fed them personally, and no one else is allowed to touch them.
The shopkeeper Zhao, who has a very good temper, rarely angers the guys, but just gives a death order in this matter, so the guys in the building only think that the shopkeeper Zhao, who has saved a piece of business, loves good horses, and no one dares to touch the scales.
Those horses were really nice.
The coat is plump, tall and long-legged, and the legs of the sturdy horses grow strong muscles, and even the sound of snorting is simply strong.
Their usual feed is mixed with eggs and salt.
In particular, a five-flowered horse with pure white coat, no trace of miscellaneous hair can be seen on the body, the coat color is as clear as snow, the head is nine feet high, and the spirit is extraordinary, as if it is a dragon horse in the world.
Shopkeeper Zhao watched the young man turn over and go away very skillfully, with no regret or regret in his eyes for the treasure being taken away, only the pleasure of finally relaxing after two days and one night.
On this night, Yongtan, dressed in green clothes, rode a white horse out of Yangzhou.
Go straight to the city of songs.
