Wang Xianzhi made a fuss in Caozhou, but the court also exploded.

Tian Lingzi did not dare to use the envoys of Xuanwu and Pinglu, and the envoys of Huainan refused to send troops. He had no choice but to invite the forces of the rivers and lakes. Although the cost of using the power of the rivers and lakes was high, the power of Tian Lingzi was not lost.

However, Tian Lingzi's wishful thinking made the other faction in the court very dissatisfied.

Since the Tang Dynasty, this court has been divided into two factions. One is the "Southern Ya" headed by the prime minister, and the other is the "Northern Division" headed by the eunuch.

At the beginning, the "North Division" was only engaged in some harem chores, and it could not be compared with the "South Ya" at all. After the Anshi Rebellion, there were more and more eunuch dictatorships, and the "Northern Division" began to rise.

At this time, the "Northern Division" overwhelmed the "Southern Ya" and held most of the military and political power. Even the "Southern Ya Forbidden Army" and the "Northern Ya Forbidden Army", which were divided into two, were merged into one and placed under the control of Tian Lingzi. That is, the forbidden army in this world, only recognizes him Tian Lingzi alone. Even so, "Nanya" is not easy to deal with, these people had better write and talk about things, which often gives Tian Lingzi a headache.

Under the steps of hundreds of officials, the Son of Heaven sits on Jinluan.

"Your Majesty, the rebel king Xianzhi has been cholera for more than a year, and now he has occupied Cao and Pu two prefectures, the city has been ravaged, and the people have been slaughtered. If we don't send troops again, Cao and Pu Erzhou will no longer be Tang lands!" The first person to speak was the newly appointed Prime Minister Cui Yanzhao.

Li Yi, the son of heaven, wore a crown through the sky, wore a bright yellow robe, tied a jade python belt, and sat on the dragon chair. He is only thirteen or fourteen years old this year, but he has a bit of a dragon and phoenix. He was familiar with these words, but he was still at a loss, so he had to look at Tian Lingzi beside him.

Tian Lingzi's face was clean, but there was a bit of ruthlessness hidden in his eyebrows and nose. He nodded to Li Yi, and then turned to the court: "Cui Xiang, it's not that the imperial court doesn't send troops, but that Huainan Jiedu makes the rebellion not to crusade against Wang Xianzhi." What else did Liu Hanhong go, but before the fight started, he turned back to the thieves, and became the commander of Wang Xianzhi, but it made Taining Jiedu make Pingbai lose so many troops and dare not fight again. ”

"With the meaning of Chief Tian, have Cao and Pu Erzhou given up?" Cui Yanzhao sneered.

"Cui Xiang said cautiously, but don't frame our family! When did our family say this? It's just now—no one is available in the court?" Tian Lingzi pretended to be frightened, and finally spread his hands out, looking innocent.

"Your Majesty, the minister Bao Ping Lu Jiedu made Song Wei calm the trouble. As soon as Tian Lingzi's words fell, Zheng Jin, the squire of the military department, walked out of the train.

Li Yi said: "Song Jiedu envoy......"

Tian Lingzi couldn't help but feel angry when he heard Zheng Jin's words, this was obviously negotiated by the "Nanya" gang, and they wanted their faction of Song Wei to control the military power.

Tian Lingzi calmed his anger a little, and said gloomily: "Qingzhou has been fierce since ancient times, and most of them are reckless and strong. At this time when the world is in turmoil, the people's hearts are not solid, if Song Jiedu leaves Qingzhou, I am afraid that before Wang Xianzhi can be exterminated, his own nest will be served first!"

"Then I don't know if Chief Tian has any good plan to get rid of the Kou Sui disaster?" Cui Yanzhao seemed to know that Tian Lingzi would not agree to Song Wei's troops, and he didn't dwell on this point.

Tian Lingzi snorted coldly: "That Wang Xianzhi is just a salt bandit, and there are only tens of thousands of rabbles below, so there is nothing to worry about, but now it is difficult to calm down for a while, just because there is a person in the rivers and lakes named Chu Jiangkai by his side." However, our family has already invited martial arts masters to go and kill them, and as long as Chu Jiangkai dies, the grass army can disperse. ”

"Ridiculous! Ridiculous! Wang Xianzhi is both civil and military, has different aspirations, and has ten commanders under his command who are brave and good at fighting, how can a person in the rivers and lakes be able to control the situation? Chief Tian will only sit back and watch the momentum of the traitor grow stronger and stronger!" When Cui Yanzhao heard these words, he couldn't help but reprimand angrily. People like Tian Lingzi don't understand military aircraft at all, and such a means will only delay major events.

This is not only the struggle of the "Southern Yabei Division", but also related to the survival of the 300-year-old foundation of the Tang Dynasty.

Tian Lingzi saw that Cui Yanzhao was above this hall, and scolded him like this without the slightest mercy, and his face was already annoyed. He didn't have an immediate seizure, but secretly gritted his teeth and wrote down the sin of disrespect today.

"The minister implores His Majesty to recall Wang Duo, the envoy of the Xuanwu Festival, to discuss the matter of the court. This person is in the position of prime minister, and has the strategy of securing the country; he is also the new leader of the history, and he has the talent of the state, and the reuse of this person will surely be able to quell the bandits and cleanse the world. After Cui Yanzhao reprimanded Tian Lingzi, he started again.

Tian Lingzi hated from the bottom of his heart, and said in his heart, "Okay, well, I originally wanted Wang Duo to return to the dynasty! Tian finally killed Pei Tan and Liu Zhan, and demoted him Wang Duo to be the assassin of Bianzhou, so it was your turn to be the chief prime minister, and you still wanted to recall him?"

"Bianzhou is close to Caozhou, Wang Xianzhi has coveted it for a long time, if it is not for Wang Tingshi, he can't defend it, how can he be easily recalled?" Tian Lingzi naturally wouldn't agree.

Cui Yanzhao was about to say something again, but unexpectedly, one person got out of the train and spoke first: "Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that it is inappropriate to recall the king's assassination." "This person has a white face and a slight beard, but he is the household servant Lu Xian.

Tian Lingzi was overjoyed when he heard this, he never expected that Lu Xian of the "Nanya" would stand with him this time.

Cui Yanzhao was very surprised, only Zheng Yan snorted coldly in his heart.

"If you protect one person, you can defeat Wang Xianzhi. Lu Xian continued to speak, since he was willing to stand up and speak, naturally he would not just refute Wang Duo's sentence of returning to the court.

"I don't know who Lu Aiqing is protecting?" Li Yi also wanted to know who else could take on this great responsibility besides Song Wei and Wang Duo.

"Jiannan Xichuan Jiedu makes Gao Yu can take on this responsibility. Lu Xian was not in a hurry.

"Gao Biao, he is far away in Xichuan, how can he help?" Li Yi didn't expect that Lu Xi would be talking about Gao Biao.

Tian Lingzi, Cui Yanzhao, and Zheng Zheng didn't expect it. Although the veteran Gao Biao is very good at fighting and has outstanding achievements, he is still too far away from Caozhou.

Lu Xian continued: "Wang Xianzhi's troubles have been more than a year, and he has lost the official army in a row, and he has taken two states, and the world has been shaken. There are many covetousness, and the state will always have a wait-and-see trend, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to calm down for a while. Gao Jiedu is familiar with the use of troops and has the ability to command, so it is better to summon him back and let him lead the troops of four or five towns, and he will definitely succeed in one fell swoop. ”

"This ......" Li Yi was at a loss again.

Although Tian Lingzi felt that Gao Biao was better than Song Wei and Wang Duo, he couldn't take it for his own use after all. What's more, he has already mobilized the forces of the rivers and lakes, and once Chu Jiangkai dies, why worry about Wang Xianzhi's immortality? Tian Lingzi shelved Lu Xian's proposal.

Cui Yanzhao and Zheng Ji also shelved Lu Xi's proposal. The first is to continue to leave a chance for Song Wei. The second is that they don't know if this Gao Yu is reliable.

Lu Xian didn't argue anymore, he believed that both he and Gao Yu would be useful.

It was another rhetoric, and this time because of the opinions of the "Nanya", it was divided into two factions, but it allowed Tian Lingzi to take advantage. However, Tian Lingzi was not satisfied with this, Cui Yanzhao, Zheng Jin, Wang Duo, and Song Wei made him feel like a fish in his throat.

Yicheng Temple.

Wei Qimu was pulled by the arm of the sudden young man, first taken aback, and then after a closer look, he remembered that this person was Sun Peilan, who poisoned him when he first came down the mountain.

It turned out that Sun Peilan later learned that Wang Jing had delayed his trip due to something, so he didn't know if Wei Qimu's poison had been resolved, and he didn't dare to poison people again. Later, he saw the Manichaean hunt and kill order in Puzhou, and knew that he was alive, so he came to this Yicheng Temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, praying for him to escape this catastrophe. Unexpectedly, I happened to meet him here.

Wei Qimu didn't hold a grudge against Sun Peilan, he said as he walked: "Why are you here, someone is chasing me, of course I have to go faster." ”

Sun Peilan was relieved to see that Wei Qimu still remembered him, and explained: "I didn't mean to poison you in the first place......

"You don't have to say it, I'm fine. "Where does Wei Qimu have the heart to worry about the past with him now, although that time did almost kill him. However, because of this, he met Bingmen and Yuan Zifeng, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. He didn't figure it out until later, if it weren't for this Sun Peilan, maybe he wouldn't have been hunted down, right?

"It's the Manichaeans who are hunting you down, and I'll help you get them away. Sun Peilan suddenly said firmly.

These words moved Wei Qimu a little, this young man who had only seen him twice, was willing to help him escape. But he shook his head, he naturally wouldn't let someone else take risks for him.

Sun Peilan was anxious when she saw it, and she stopped Wei Qimu with force, and said in a deep voice: "I owe you a life, saving you once this time can be regarded as two clearances, and our Sun family never owes anyone." As he spoke, he was going to peel off Wei Qimu's clothes and put them on.

Wei Qimu didn't know what the Sun family and the Li family were, but he knew that it was unkind to put others in danger, and it was unjust to involve others, and he couldn't do this kind of unkind and unrighteous thing.

Wei Qimu looked at his resolute look again, so he had to say with a straight face: "I can escape by myself, I don't have to risk it." ”

Sun Peilan did not give up: "In this monastery, the Buddha is above, I poisoned you before because of the cause, I saved you today as a result, if you don't follow, it will destroy the cause and effect of people! Besides, even if the Manichaean people catch me, they will not do anything to me, what are you doing with it!"

Wei Qimu still shook his head: "If people find out that you are fake, what if they are angry and hurt you, I can't let you be in danger." ”

"You stupid, I have my own way to save my life, you hurry up and change my clothes!" Sun Peilan was a little angry.

Wei Qimu couldn't entangle, but he didn't dare to delay here, so he had to change his clothes according to him.

"Why are you still carrying it when you change your coat?" Wei Qimu asked when he saw Sun Peilan turn around.

As a result, only one sentence was provoked: "You want to take care of it?"

After changing her clothes, Sun Peilan explained: "You hurry up to Juancheng, we will meet there, and it will be safe when we get there." ”

He wore Wei Qimu's green clothes and the hat, and ran out of the temple "swaggering". Then he hurriedly untied the reins from the willow tree, mounted his horse and left.

Wei Qimu changed his green clothes into a blue shirt at this time, but Sun Peilan was thin and small, but fortunately, he was not very tall, so he could barely wear it.

Wei Qimu was uneasy in his heart, if something happened to him, how would he be relieved? As soon as he thought of this, he felt all kinds of sorrow, and couldn't help but sigh.

"The donor sighed, the poor monk rested, and traveled here. A middle-aged monk dressed in a gray monk's robe walked over at some point and folded his hands in eleven bows, "That donor has already planted the cause, so he naturally needs to eat this fruit in order to be complete." ”

Wei Qimu saw that the monk was only covered with a gray robe, and there were no Buddha beads in his palm. Moreover, he has a refined appearance and a bookish air, not like a monk, but like a showman, so he also saluted: "Alas, I am afraid that he will die because of this!"

"All beings are afraid of the fruit, and the benefactor is like this, and so is he. Therefore, the donor does not have to sigh, just let him realize the cause and effect. ”

"What, who else is not afraid of fruit?" Wei Qimu asked more after hearing the first sentence.

"Bodhisattvas are not afraid of fruit. Monk Guanxiu said with a smile.

"Doesn't the Bodhisattva value cause and effect the most? How can he not be afraid of the effect?" Wei Qimu thought that this Guanxiu monk was talking nonsense.

"Because the bodhisattva is afraid of the cause. So saying, he departed.

Wei Qimu didn't understand Buddhism, and he couldn't chew through this sentence for a while, but he felt that it made some sense. When the monk walked away, there was still a faint murmur in his ears - the Bodhisattva is afraid of the cause, and the sentient beings are afraid of the effect...... Bodhisattvas fear causes, and sentient beings fear consequences......

Wei Qimu had to write down this sentence in his heart first, and then walked through the two rows of side rooms and headed towards Juancheng.
