Chapter 278: Accept the reality
Hearing what the Nephrite Pavilion Lord said, Shangguan Feixue was even more confused.
"According to you, I don't understand it even more. What should this Baoguo clan do when it faces the change of dynasties? Does it belong to the previous dynasty or the next dynasty?" Shangguan Feixue said the question in his heart again.
"This ?....." The Nephrite Pavilion Lord frowned and said, "I didn't know much before, but I heard my master once say that whenever there is really no Ming monarch in this royal family, the Baoguo clan will contact all the people in the world who protect the country to jointly establish a new Ming Lord, ensure that my great Chinese country is not invaded by foreign races, and then protect the new royal family after the world is stable." ”
When Shangguan Feixue heard this, he smiled, and said in his heart: "It is difficult to justify any family that protects the country. It's nothing more than finding a high-sounding reason for his actions. ”
"In this way, the Baoguo clan may not be welcome in the emperor's heart!" Shangguan Feixue said with a smile.
"That's right. The Nephrite Pavilion Lord nodded and said, "After becoming the emperor, he used his wrists to transform the Baoguo clan into the royalist clan. But how could the other princes above the temple agree? Therefore, they secretly talked with the Baoguo clan in private, demanding that the Baoguo clan still maintain its neutral side. After several negotiations, several people in power in the Baoguo clan decided that the Baoguo clan would withdraw from the court and could only exist in the rivers and lakes. ”
"According to what you said, in the current rivers and lakes, the Baoguo clan also has a unified control person?" Shangguan Feixue asked again.
"Not now. The Nephrite Pavilion Lord said: "After several generations of inheritance, the people who can now be regarded as the scale of the Baoguo clan are only left with shadows. ”
"So, isn't the Lord of Shadows also a person in control?" Shangguan Feixue asked puzzled.
"That's the genius of the original teacher. The Nephrite Pavilion Master smiled and continued: "When the family master saw through this, he took the initiative to divide the Baoguo clan under his control into two categories, one is the shadow, specializing in the collection and processing of information on the rivers and lakes, and some people in the court who are not suitable to come forward to solve the problem. The other group exists entirely to supervise the behavior of the first group of people, which is what we now have Nephrite Pavilion. ”
"However, I haven't found many people in the Nephrite Pavilion who are superior in martial arts and can balance the shadows?" Shangguan Feixue asked puzzled.
"Isn't it enough to have me?" the Nephrite Pavilion Lord asked Shangguan Feixue with a smile.
"Your power alone seems to be a little thin. Shangguan Feixue shook his head.
"The purpose of the Nephrite Pavilion is only to ensure that the Lord of Shadows does not disagree with the royal family, and if anyone else has problems, the Lord of Shadows will deal with them. The Nephrite Pavilion Master continued, "And ......."
Halfway through his words, the master of Nephrite Pavilion suddenly stopped, thought for a moment, and said to Shangguan Feixue again: "I will tell you when the time is ripe in the future." ”
"If that's the case, then how did the royal family's order get to the shadows? Who can prove that this order is right, for the sake of protecting the royal family, not for the selfish intentions of the person who gave the order?" Shangguan Feixue listened to the more he felt that the nephrite pavilion master's words were a little unreliable, so he asked.
"This needs to be decided by the Nephrite Pavilion and the Lord of Shadows. The master of the Nephrite Pavilion expected Shangguan Feixue to ask this question, and said with a smile: "The Shadow has a jade plate that has been passed down from generation to generation, and after the Lord of Shadows takes over the throne, he usually gives the jade plate to an upright prince of the dynasty, and when the court has something to do with the Shadow, the prince will send a messenger to find our Shadow with the jade card." The Lord of Shadows will decide whether to return the jade card to the messenger after receiving it, and if it is not returned, the Lord of Shadows will re-choose the prince who can be relied on, and if it is returned, it can continue to cooperate. ”
Hearing this, Shangguan Feixue felt that there was no need to ask any further, he knew that no matter what excuse this shadow found, it would not be able to hide his true identity as a dark organization. The so-called handing over the jade plate to a prince in the court is nothing more than the shadow finding a talisman for himself in the official.
The existence of the shadow may only be a mutual use between the imperial court and the rivers and lakes under certain conditions, but once this condition changes, the imperial court will still not let the organization of the shadow exist.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Feixue did not continue this topic.
Seeing that Shangguan Feixue didn't say anything more, the Nephrite Pavilion Lord stopped, turned to Shangguan Feixue, took out a token from his body, and handed it to Shangguan Feixue.
"This is the personal token of the four princes today, give it to you. Take it, even if you meet the Jinyi Guard, they will give you a convenient door. The Nephrite Pavilion Lord said to Shangguan Feixue.
For this fourth prince, Shangguan Feixue knows it, he is the son of the current emperor, and he is also recognized as the person who will inherit the unification in the future.
Unexpectedly, the Nephrite Pavilion Lord actually had his token.
"What are you talking about protecting the country, now this shadow is clearly a secret agency of the royal family controlling the rivers and lakes. Shangguan Feixue said secretly.
Shangguan Feixue felt that something was wrong when he saw that the Nephrite Pavilion Lord had told him so many secrets of the Nephrite Pavilion and the Shadows, and that he had also given such an important token to himself, so he declared to the Nephrite Pavilion Lord in advance: "Senior, although I have learned your martial arts, I have no intention of taking over your Nephrite Pavilion. ”
The Nephrite Pavilion Lord looked at Shangguan Feixue and said with a smile: "Feixue, people are in the rivers and lakes, not everything will be as they please." If you go to Penglai Island this time, you are destined to have something to do with the Shadow or our Nephrite Pavilion. Even if you regret it now and don't want to learn my martial arts, do you think you can get rid of your relationship with us? If the people in the rivers and lakes know that you have entered Penglai Island, how many people will come to you to ask about the shadow? What about the imperial court? What about the shadow? Do you think you can stay out of it? With your current martial arts, can you protect yourself? Can you protect those friends of yours? No. So, you can only accept it all. ”。
The words of the Nephrite Pavilion Lord made Shangguan Feixue speechless for a while, he really didn't think too much about these things.
"I know that Ye'er gave you her Shadow Order, and from the moment you received the Shadow Order, the people in the rivers and lakes will identify you as a Shadow Order. Of course, you can deny it, but is it useful? Accept all this calmly, the people on the rivers and lakes will be afraid of your shadow background, and ordinary shadow people will also follow your instructions, and now that you have this prince token I gave you, the people in the court will naturally not be difficult for you. Besides, at present, the political situation above the court is stable, and there is no question of who you belong to, so you can accept it with peace of mind. The Nephrite Pavilion Lord continued to say to Shangguan Feixue.
