The way of vertical and horizontal

Since Tang Yu was arrested, the entire Xiaoyao City has begun to be on alert, except for the merchant ships of Xiaoyao City, all of them have to go around the sea for half an hour. In particular, the defense of the Immortal Mountain Villa was tighter, and Ji Lingshuang transferred another hundred vertical and horizontal disciples, plus the previous Honzhuang and Jade Dragon Villa, the number was nearly two hundred. In the past few days, Zhang Shaoying has been busy with the establishment of the sect, and Chen Yi and the others are accompanying Zhang Shaoying. Although Guoguo is young, he is talented and talented, and Zhang Shaoying is amazed by the way he teaches. Although the group only accompanied Zhang Shaoying every day, with Jiaoyu and Steward Yang scheduling in it, everyone had a lot of knowledge and knew what Zhang Shaoying was going to do. Ji Lingshuang had been preparing for this for a long time, and as soon as the manpower was gathered, there were tens of thousands of people, which made Zhang Shaoying frightened. When Ji Lingshuang asked Zhang Shaoying what the name of this sect should be, Zhang Shaoying didn't want to think about it, so he responded with Zonghengmen. In this way, the left and right guards of the vertical and horizontal gates made suggestions for Zhang Shaoying, and the five sects in the east, west, south, south, and middle were placed in order to place the five sects of immortals, the underworld, the medicine, the instrument, and the hidden five sects, and the eight gates were placed as the establishment of the vertical and horizontal gates. Such a war in Xiaoyao City cannot be avoided, but as an ally of Zonghengmen, Zhang Shaoying can be transferred. Although such a momentum is huge, Zhang Shaoying knows that this sect was only founded to deal with the imperial court, and it will not be long, nor is it Zhang Shaoying's original intention. The reason why he did this was only because Ji Lingshuang chose him as her husband and should bear the price.

Left and right protectors, Ji Lingshuang did not say who it was, but Zhang Shaoying knew that he must be an extraordinary person. This time, the Immortal Sect was appointed by Yuwen Liushu, the Underworld Sect was appointed by Mu Qiubai, and the Medicine Sect was appointed by the Great Elder Chen Qi, who had never met. The Instrument Sect has been merged into one, Ye Feifei and Lu Yu feel that their time is running out, and they both retired as elders of the Instrument Sect and devoted themselves to the creation of weapons and farm tools. And Shen Yi, who was just over forty, stood out in the martial arts competition of the Instrument Sect and became the fifty-second sect master of the Instrument Sect. The Hidden Sect is the four hermits of Chen Dao, Wei Ye, Zhong Fang, and Lin Kui, and more than ten hermits came to help. Among them is Chen Shiyu's father, Mr. Wu Wei, Chen Zhidao.

Half of the eight sects are disciples of the Zongheng faction, although the number is not large, but they are all captains, commanding the subordinates of the eight sects, most of them are from the Zongheng faction and worship the name, immortals, the guards of the Jade Dragon Liangzhuang also retired to join the Zonghengmen, in this way, Ji Lingshuang and Liu Yan. Zhang Shaoying has also left his nationality. The rest are all disciples sent by the five sects, and the sect master has no right to command, only the subordinate guards of each sect can be mobilized on their own. Five sects and one sect, coupled with the military strength of Xiaoyao City, such a formation is no longer something that Nanmen alone can bear. The South Gate spy who was originally lurking in Xiaoyao City was supposed to rescue or kill Tang Yu, but Hu Dao took over the South Gate on his own and did not order this.

The secret letter from the south gate soon reached the Imperial City of Tokyo, and Zhao Heng, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, was staring at the secret music on the imperial case in the Wende Hall and was silent. On the side, there was only Prime Minister Kou Zhun and Governor Wang Qinruo. Wang Dan, Ding Wei and other close ministers waited on the side. At such a moment, things that cannot be said in the court can be said at this time. The ministers of the DPRK and China all know that the four doors are black, but they never dare to talk about it publicly, which is an extreme taboo, and the Great Song Dynasty is a civilized country. How can the state of etiquette do such an unbearable thing? After a long time, Zhao Heng asked: "What is the insight of such retrogrades?" Wang Qinruo took the lead and said: "This city is besieged by a large army. And there is a door constraint, when the two Zhejiang can be stable. If you insist on extermination, although it has its potential, it will damage the national system of Jiangnan. In the opinion of the foolish minister, it is necessary to maintain the stability of the moment. Zhao Heng nodded, this was exactly what he was considering. However, allowing the vertical and horizontal faction, the seven sects of martial arts override the imperial power, which always makes the heart uneasy. Ding Wei thought for a while, stepped forward and said: "According to the minister's humble opinion, the vertical and horizontal faction has established a gate, and now the external troubles have disappeared, and this conspiracy is a rebellion, the imperial court should focus on the overall situation, and not let the rebellion in such a country last forever." Zhao Heng also nodded and said: "I understand, but the military is rampant, if the crowd is gathered, what is the best strategy for the Qing and the others?" Zhao Heng's words made the ministers sigh, although this was a tact, but it was the reality they should face. Although the Ouchi Imperial Palace has brought together many masters in the world, the seven sects of martial arts, as well as the long-standing history of the vertical and horizontal factions, and the profundity of martial arts, really make these scholars who do not understand martial arts feel at ease. Such a confrontation between the court and the military cannot be solved by the army, and the ministers, including the emperor, have to face the assassination of the Seven Sects of Martial Arts or the Zongheng faction, which is the opposition between life and life, and no one wants to joke with life. Emperor Taizong intended to enshrine Mount Tai in that year, and everything was prepared, but as a result, the Qianyuan Hall and the Civilization Hall were on fire, and they burned a night in the heavy rain of thunderstorms. However, what the world didn't know was that after the dark investigation, it turned out that the Seven Sects of Martial Arts laughed at the absurdity of Emperor Taizong, thinking that he was not enough for this move, so they burned the two most important halls in the midst of the large internal armor. With such a heavy guard, such a big event, whether it was Taizong or the ministers, they all chose to remain silent, because it was the truth. However, what these rulers could not endure was the ridicule and contempt of these so-called people, which was a challenge to the imperial power and could not be alleviated. It is precisely because of this that since then, although the court knows about it, no one talks about it. Behind this, there is a deep fear of the Seven Sects of Martial Dao, no matter how many masters there are in the palace, they can never be reassured.

Seeing that the ministers didn't speak, Zhao Heng looked at Prime Minister Kou Zhun. Although Kou Zhun at this time was attacked by public opinion led by Wang Qinruo, the governor of the political council, Zhao Heng was no longer close to Kou Zhun, but he had to listen to Kou Zhun's opinion on all major matters. Zhao Heng asked: "What is Kou Qing's good strategy?" Kou Zhun stepped forward and said: "Today's Great Song Dynasty is not thirty years ago, there is no need to divide good and evil, now that the national strength is at its peak, the external troubles are removed, and the internal troubles are not difficult." Tang Yu of the South Gate actually entered Xiaoyao City, if the Holy Lord did not order it to be dealt with quickly, I am afraid that the disaster of the sect is still in the future. Seeing that the emperor was still hesitating, he knew that the Holy Lord was afraid of angering the Zongheng Sect and the Seven Martial Sects, so he didn't dare to joke with his life, but now Kou Zhun knew how to restrain his temper. Seeing that Kou Zhun said a word and stopped talking, Zhao Heng was displeased, and asked, "Kou Qing has nothing else to say?" Kou Zhun bowed and said: "Where the Holy Heavenly Power is, there is no need to worry about such bandits." When he said this, he meant that the emperor was greedy for life and afraid of death, but the decision in it was difficult for even Wang Qinruo, a flatterer, to understand. Zhao Heng continued to ask: "What is your good plan?" This is the second time the emperor asked, Kou Zhun said: "Now there are only two ways, one of which is to kill Tang Yu, and the current situation can still be maintained." Second, let the south gate move and destroy the bandit city in one fell swoop, and the south of the Yangtze River will be safe. Zhao Heng said: "You and I both know that this city cannot be built overnight, and it was established by Taizu, and it is deeply rooted. Seeing that Kou Zhun was getting less and less free and easy as before, Zhao Heng was even more unhappy in his heart, and suddenly his heart lit up, and Wang Qinruo and the others retreated.

Looking at the deep jealousy when the group left, Kou Zhun was also deeply helpless. At this time, Bi Shi'an, the governor of the political affairs, had passed away for a long time, and Kou Zhun was even more powerless in the court. However, in the face of the emperor's attention and trust, Kou Zhun was also grateful. After the ministers left, Zhao Heng asked: "There are no outsiders now, can you say it?" This is a common remark, Kou Zhun is eyes are moist, bowed to the ground, and said: "If there is a heart, if there is a heart, it will be, and if there is no heart, the minister will not dare to decide." Zhao Heng stepped forward to help Kou Zhun up, and said: "This Mr. Tang actually defected to the bandits, what do you think?" Kou Zhun said: "As soon as he surrenders to the bandits, he will inevitably tell everything at the south gate, and there will be no room for redemption at that time." The reason why he did this was to make up his mind for the sake of the saint, and the master of the south gate of the hall was going to run away with his family under the so-called dark flowers, which was such a shame for the south gate. Mr. Tang's action is to go to the saint to make up his mind, otherwise once the south gate collapses, the bandit city will definitely come out of Zhejiang, and the consequences are unimaginable. In this way, Zhao Heng also felt that it was time to rectify the repeated tolerance of Xiaoyao City over the years. Especially the stakes in this, once the south gate collapses, the army around Xiaoyao City will be a decoration, and it will definitely laugh at the world. At the moment, he said: "Then according to what Kou Qing said, but Mr. Tang is a master, you can't kill without permission, where Tianwei is, let him come to Beijing to see me, and the south gate will be led by Mr. Hu, and I have my own measure." When Kou Zhun saw that the emperor had such momentum, he was overjoyed, and immediately bowed down and retreated. However, what he was worried about in his heart was that the Holy Master had a heart for the Seven Sects of Martial Arts, but he had no decision to be the enemy of the Zongheng Sect. Since ancient times, nothing has brought an emperor to its knees more than prolonging life. Bodhi branches can be had, but they have ten years, and the situation will change within ten years, and it will be unpredictable between the courts.

The secret order of the imperial court soon reached Hu Dao, and with a formal appointment, he could let it go. Tang Yu is the key this time, this secret letter has taken two days, and according to Tang Yu's methods, I am afraid that it is already being written. Now what he has to do is to rescue Tang Yu and send him back to the capital. Now that the city is heavily guarded, assassination is already difficult, and rescue is even more difficult. But the emperor has such momentum, he doesn't even ask about his unauthorized dictatorship, and Hu Dao is also grateful to the emperor for his kindness. The South Gate has been rotten for too long, but with the official appointment, Hu Dao began to adjust the South Gate, and the entire South Gate suddenly became invigorated, so that those who joined for the sake of the country's faith finally ignited the idea of serving the country loyally.

Tang Yu was imprisoned in the Immortal Villa and guarded by the Zongheng faction. Tang Yu ate and drank well every day, and with his superb memory, he listed the establishment, involvement, purpose, and scope of the South Gate. The south gate is too huge, and it will take Tang Yu at least ten days and half a month to write. The crowd gradually understood the establishment of the South Gate, and in addition to being amazed, they were more shocked by the size of the South Gate. There are four sects in the south gate, each of which has jurisdiction over 24 divisions, and there is also an internal supervision department outside the establishment, which is directly controlled by the emperor's close ministers. Under these twenty-four divisions, there are also many gang sects, the people of the city, the personnel are huge, well-informed, and the masters gather, which is more than ten times larger than the Ximen of the Shi Po Army. In the face of such a huge south gate, the sects have no fear, and it is precisely because there is no fear that such opposition has created them today. (To be continued......)
