Chapter 119: Puppet

The fox has a hundred ideas, and the hedgehog has only one idea, so there is often a situation where being smart is mistaken by being smart, which is a level that almost every smart person can't get around on the road.

This is not the first time that Xu Wugui has been clever but has been mistaken by being smart, and it may not be the last time, but Xu Wugui is not angry, he is not a person who likes to feel the past, the past is over, if it is wrong, first remedy it, and then reflect, instead of turning this mistake into a scar that cannot be touched.

Xu Wugui sighed: "I originally wanted to take a lot of things, and the 'Immortal Stone' was one of them, but now it seems that it is very difficult. ”

"It's good to know. Yu Taiyun said coldly, "The appetite of the earth master is too big, do you want to swallow the entire royal court alone?"

"I don't have such a big appetite. The earth master shook his head and denied, "I just want to take away some things that may not be useful to others but are of great use to me, the 'Immortal Stone' is just one of them, but it is not the most important thing, some are the best, if not, it is okay." ”

When the words fell, Xu Wugui began to shrink the "Taiyin Sword Formation", switching from offense to defense, and made it clear that he didn't want to continue to fight with Taiyun. Taiyun knew that the ability of the earth master to escape was not the first in the world but also the second in the world, the Dazhen Mansion could not keep him, and the Beibi Mountain could not keep him, and she alone wanted to keep the earth master, it was a fool's dream, so she simply withdrew from the shrinking sword array.

The thirteen Xu Wugui and the shadows that shook off from the "Yin Yang Immortal Clothes" were separated, many clones returned to their deities, and many shadows returned to the "Yin Yang Immortal Clothes".

Xu Wugui casually held the "Heavenly Demon Slashing Immortal Sword" in his hand, pointed at the tip of the sword, and said in a relaxed manner: "Holy Monarch, you and Zhang Jingxiu drove me out of the northwest and established your family's dominant status. At the same time, he also pushed Li Xuandu to the position of the suzerain of the Taiping Sect, and formed an alliance with Liaodong again through the marriage of Li Xuandu and Qin Su, and wanted to negotiate peace with Li Daoxu through Li Xuandu.

Taiyun narrowed his eyes, "Zhang Jingxiu is in Jiangnan, Qin Qing is in Liaobei, and the entire Heshuo land is separated in the middle, and there is also an East China Sea between the South China Sea and the Beihai, and this area is Li Daoxu's sphere of influence. As long as the negotiation fails, and Li Daoxu refuses to give in, then the alliance between Zhang Jingxiu and Qin Qing is the flower in the mirror and the moon in the water, which is also a fact on the surface, and the reason why I was willing to join forces with Zhang Jingxiu at the beginning was also to expect that the contradiction between Zhang Jingxiu and Li Daoxu could not be mediated, and the peace negotiation was destined to fail. ”

Xu Wugui did not refute Taiyun's statement, "Yes, both of them have to be leaders of the righteous path, and who refuses to give in, this is the root of the contradiction between the two of them." In fact, Zhang Jingxiu himself is willing to back down, but the name of 'Great Heavenly Master' is too heavy, carrying the inheritance and glory of the Zhang family for thousands of years. And Li Daoxu is much more pragmatic, he doesn't care about the name, what he cares about is power, so he can let a short position, and he is hidden behind the scenes. In this way, there are two benefits. The first point is that Li Daoxu does not have to be burdened by a false name, it is his credit for doing it right, and if he does it wrong, he has a puppet in front of him to bear the fault on his behalf. The second point is that there is a cloud in "Zuo Chuan": 'If the punishment is unknowable, the power is unpredictable.' The more mysterious and unpredictable the monarch is, the more unpredictable it is, and the people below are naturally trembling, and they only dare to carefully figure out and welcome the king's psychology, but they dare not have the idea of transgression and rebellion. ”

Yu Taiyun frowned and did not make a sound.

Over the years, Taiyun has undergone great changes, from the "generous" main palace standing silently behind Song Zheng to the empress who kicked Song Zheng away. The root of it lies in Xu Wugui, over the years, Xu Wugui has not only helped Tangtaiyun stabilize the situation in the northwest, but also taught her the art of the emperor, so Tangtaiyun will respect Xu Wugui as a teacher. It's just that Xu Wugui didn't expect that the first target of the student after learning the emperor was him, the emperor.

Today, Xu Wugui is still teaching her, but in this process, there must be Xu Wugui's plan. Tang Taiyun wanted to see what Xu Wugui wanted to do, so she didn't interrupt Xu Wugui, but listened silently.

Xu Wugui said that Li Xuandu and him are the same kind of people, the key is that both of them are people who can speak and are good at speaking, and they are both good teachers. It's just that Xu Wugui is more clever than Li Xuandu.

Xu Wugui continued: "Zhang Jingxiu wants to be famous, and Li Daoxu doesn't care about false names, which gives the two the possibility of peace. If Li Daoxu can promise to preserve the reputation of the Zhang family and the Great Heavenly Master, I think the righteous path will become a situation where the reality of the virtual monarch is the reality, Zhang Jingxiu is the king, and Li Daoxu is the appearance. ”

Yu Taiyun said: "The Great Heavenly Master will agree to be a puppet for Li Daoxu?"

"Of course not. Xu Wugui smiled, "At least it can't be like this on the bright side, Zhang Jingxiu can't go into battle to do this dirty work himself." However, just like the contradiction between Song Zheng and the kings of the royal court, Urien, who has the blood of Song Zheng and the royal family at the same time, is a compromise. In the same way, Zhang Jingxiu and Li Daoxu also need such a compromise to reconcile the relationship between the two, and Zhang Jingxiu has begun to pave the way for this matter a long time ago, but you haven't

Be alert. ”

Tang Taiyun thought for a moment and exclaimed, "You mean Li Xuandu?"

"Exactly. Xu Wugui smiled lightly: "Li Xuan is a disciple of Li Daoxu, and he is supported by Zhang Jingxiu, and there is also a Qin family as a support, and he has a relationship with all parties, so he is an extremely suitable person." And Zhang Jingxiu publicly declared that Li Xuandu was expected to live forever and was the future leader of the righteous path half a year ago, you wouldn't think that Zhang Jingxiu was just praising the juniors, right? ”

The clouds looked deep.

Xu Wugui said: "The position of the puppet in front of the stage, Zhang Jingxiu is not good at going into battle in person, because it will damage the prestige of the Great Heavenly Master, and Li Daoxu is not worried that he will be this puppet, after all, he is a figure of equal weight, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not turn from fiction to reality, that is to lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot." Therefore, Li Xuandu is the most suitable, Li Xuandu will be the puppet, after Zhang Jingxiu's foreshadowing during this period, so that this matter will not seem too abrupt, and then there is the monstrous work of the Golden Tent as a promotion, it can be said that it is a matter of course. When the time comes, Zhang Jingxiu will take the initiative to give a temporary title such as the leader of the alliance, and let Li Xuandu be the principal, not only will no one say that Zhang Jingxiu has fallen into the title of the Great Heavenly Master, but will also praise him for his high style and bright festival, and take the initiative to let the virtuous and promote the juniors. Zhang Jingxiu intentionally or unintentionally said in front of others, such as 'the old man is sticking to the rules, when will the newcomer come out', 'Now the situation needs a young man', and spread it, maybe it can become a good story for the ages. Then the two Zhang and Li lived behind the scenes as Taishan Beidou, and Zhang Jingxiu then transferred part of the real power, so that Li Daoxu became the actual leader of the righteous path, and this peace agreement was reached. ”

"If you regard the righteous path sects as a big army, at this time the situation will become the major general Li Xuandu, the nominal general Zhang Jingxiu, and the actual general Li Daoxu, when the time comes, the righteous path will defeat the northwest sects and suppress the holy monarch Taiyun, Zhang Jingxiu has gained a false name and can land smoothly, Li Daoxu has benefited and been able to realize his ambitions, what about you Taiyun, what is left?"

Facing Xu Wugui's question, Taiyun asked rhetorically, "Will Li Xuan be willing to be a puppet?"

"Yes. Xu Wugui's tone was very determined, "The young general is also a general, although he is a puppet, but he has won the name of righteousness, he just needs to follow the step-by-step steps, slowly and slowly, until Li Daoxu dies, he is also full-fledged, and then in the name of righteousness to seize power, who is the opponent?"

Taiyun subconsciously glanced at Li Xuandu, who was exercising, and did not speak.

Xu Wugui glanced at Taiyun deeply, "Okay, that's all I say, you can do it yourself." ”

As the words fell, Xu Wugui stepped back, disappearing in the black whirlpool.
