Chapter 518: The Beginning and the End
Of course, with Tian Hongyi's ascension to the throne as the emperor, the Northern Qi Dynasty has gradually become stronger, and it was just a joke in the eyes of all the Jianghu forces.
However, behind the scenery of the six doors, is the terrifying consumption of the treasury of the Northern Qi Dynasty, without Tian Hongyi throwing out a lot of real money, it is impossible for these six doors to have such a strong strength in these decades, for Tian Hongyi himself, the six doors are comparable to the masterpieces of the four towns of the Northern Qi Dynasty and the eight imperial merchants.
For Xiong Mu, these six doors are like a big stone in his heart, unable to spit out or swallow. Whenever there is something going on in the rivers and lakes, it seems that Northern Qi will not intervene in it, but when has the six doors been absent?
At the same time, when was there Xiong Mu's voice? In the past 20 years, Xiong Mu didn't know how much he had suffered because of this, and now the White Lotus Divine Sect came to the door and was willing to drive the Southern Chu Imperial Court, that was simply a good thing for a pie in the sky, and a pie fell from the sky, if Xiong Mu didn't dare to eat it, it would be in vain for a generation of emperors.
After some negotiations between the two sides on some details, they reached an agreement, and the White Lotus Cult promised to do things for Xiong Mu within its capabilities, and Xiong Mu provided the necessary territory and some resource support.
It is true that the origin of the White Lotus Divine Sect has many sensitive points, and under the unclear purpose, Xiong Mu has many things to worry about, but this cannot hide the huge benefits that the White Lotus Divine Sect can bring to Xiong Mu.
For example, twenty years ago, Zheng Guifei died in childbirth, and her eldest son was stolen out of the case, Xiong Mu checked it himself for 20 years and had no news, but the Black Lotus Holy King casually asked someone to check it casually, and found that Jin Cailiang's pseudonym Fang Yangze not only did not have the intention of going incognito and going away, but also played in the city of Suzhou, and became the head of the leading martial arts family in Jiangnan County.
And the dragon that was stolen by Fang Yangze back then, I don't know why it was not cut down by Fang Yangze, and after tossing it, it was put back by Fang Yangze to the fishing village where Xiong Biao, who had been the prince for more than 20 years.
This matter seems grotesque, but I have to say that Jin Cailiang is bold and thoughtful. It turned out that when Xiong Mu first ascended to the high position, the court and the central government surrendered on the surface, and there were many people with two hearts in secret, although they did not dare to openly resist Xiong Mu, but there was no problem in secretly making some small moves.
So when Xiong Mu was looking for a child who had just given birth to replace the dragon son who was stolen by Jin Cailiang, the rumor had already been revealed to Jin Cailiang by some ill-intentioned people.
What these people mean
, is nothing more than wanting Jin Cailiang to make things bigger, it's best to make Xiong Mu unable to get off the stage, and then see if things can take a turn for the better.
However, to everyone's surprise, Jin Cailiang not only did not expose the matter, but sold those half-hearted people after changing hands, after Xiong Mu received the anonymous news, although he was also curious about who would help him, but this anonymous news said that there was a nose and an eye, and whether it was true or not would be known at a check, so Xiong Mu also kept an eye on it.
Xiong Mu's investigation, naturally many people lost their heads, and the government and the opposition have been silent about this matter since then, and after the matter was over, Jin Cailiang, who had hidden his merits and fame, quietly put Xiong Mu's true prince back to the family that quietly lost his child, and then changed his face and disappeared from everyone's sight.
After the White Lotus Divine Sect provided some information, Xiong Mu couldn't help but personally investigate, and after mastering some exact things by contacting Liu Sanniang and Fang Yangze's fake sons, Xiong Mu chose to directly have a showdown with Jin Cailiang, who was aliased as Fang Yangze.
After seeing Xiong Mu, Jin Cailiang's reaction was very calm, and after talking to Xiong Mu like an old friend for a long time, he dispersed the true qi in the dantian and ended his own life, which is why Jin Cailiang's body had no scars.
Xiong Mu also learned the whole story of the year only after this Jin Cailiang's confession. It turned out that Jin Cailiang was certainly the lone minister left by the first emperor of Southern Chu to the great prince, but the object of Jin Cailiang's real allegiance was the first emperor of Southern Chu who was dumb in the eyes of everyone.
Although the emperor of Southern Chu is not good at governing the country, he has always been a good person, under his shadow, whether it is a drama or a gardener, a eunuch or a palace maid, he can find his identity and position, but being in a high position is not something that can be done by being kind and kind.
In the end, the first emperor of Southern Chu died at the hands of the actor who made himself the prime minister, which is the best example, that actor can go from the bottom of the society, the last extremely popular minister, under one person, above ten thousand people, the first emperor of Southern Chu has great kindness to him? That is naturally the extreme of Enlong, and it cannot be repeated.
Then why was it that when the first emperor of Southern Chu was weak, that actor was the first person to raise the butcher's knife? This is the consequence of not respecting the superiors and not respecting the subordinates. If a dignified 95 supreme is in disregard of the superiority and inferiority, and hangs out with a group of low-status people all day long, what prestige is there to speak of? Is there still a distinction between monarchs and ministers in this court?
Therefore, the death of the former emperor of Southern Chu in the hands of the actor who personally sealed the official before him can be regarded as self-inflicted. However, although the first emperor of Southern Chu helped a bunch of villains up, after all, there were still a few loyal and courageous people, and Jin Cailiang, the general of the town hall back then, was like this.
At that time, Jin Cailiang was of course to take revenge on Xiong Mu for killing the eldest prince
throne, so as to steal his eldest dragon son, but how to deal with Xiong Mu, the dragon son, Jin Cailiang seemed very hesitant. As a close minister of the former emperor of Southern Chu, Jin Cailiang naturally knew that the seemingly depressed emperor of Southern Chu actually hoped that Southern Chu could prosper more than anyone else, but after experiencing the beauty of ideals and the cruelty of reality, the former emperor of Southern Chu gradually gave up completely and indulged in wine.
The Emperor of Southern Chu seems to be on the Ninth Five-Year Plan, which is unspeakably expensive, but which of those great families is not intertwined and has deep roots? North of the Nulong River, under the edict of the Emperor of Northern Qi, even the leaders of the top forces in the rivers and lakes have to go to Beijing to meet them.
South of the Nulong River, even if Xiong Mu happens to meet such a person, these people can hold their own identities and refuse to bow down, and only the parties concerned can understand the considerations.
Although Xiong Mu is not the favorite heir of the first emperor of Southern Chu, he is still the biological blood of the first emperor of Southern Chu, if Xiong Mu is overthrown again, then whether Nan Chu is still surnamed Xiong or not is unknown.
This is also the reason why Jin Liangcai suddenly "turned back" after stealing the dragon son, not because he repented and stood on Xiong Mu's side, but because he also wanted to see the Nanchu Xiong clan royal family from the bottom of his heart, and it could continue.
Therefore, Jin Cailiang thought twice about Xiong Mu, the eldest dragon, and did not kill the killer, but personally sent him to the fishing village and let him exchange identities with Xiong Biao.
Of course, Jin Cailiang's move seems reckless, but in fact he is shrewd, after all, after Xiong Mu killed a group of people ruthlessly, the people who knew the inside story of the year were all silent, and they wished that they would forget it earlier, how could they come to this fishing village with a hot head to explore the children who should have disappeared back then, and then reappear here.
This is something that even Xiong Mu didn't expect, and this Jin Cailiang finally swaggered under Xiong Mu's nose to be a strong man in Suzhou City, which can really be said to have brought the three words black under the lamp to the extreme.
Of course, when the manpower was still exhausted, Jin Cailiang could hide it from Xiong Mu, but he couldn't hide it from the White Lotus Sect. If you want to say who has the most information in the world, it is the Wind and Rain Building, and there is no doubt that whoever can be ranked second outside of this Wind and Rain Building, it will naturally be the White Lotus Sect.
Everyone knows that the White Lotus Sect is secretive and pervasive, but even if Fengyulou pursued and killed it with all its might, it did not cut down the White Lotus Sect to the roots, why? On the one hand, the Black Lotus Saint King rose strongly, and on the other hand, it had to be said that the White Lotus Sect itself had done a good job in intelligence work.
Most of the intelligence sources of the Wind and Rain Building rely on the industries that spread all over the world, but the intelligence sources of the White Lotus Sect rely on those who have become members of the White Lotus Sect and the nine streams of the three sects.
