Chapter 1: Heavenly Master Li Congjian
Looking at the Cangshan Guanhe month, the lonely Longzhou looks at the northern cold.
Yuehui Mountain stretches for 400 miles from east to west, crosses the Luling River in the hinterland of Wuchuan, walks down the Wuchuan River for 30 miles, the south of the foothills, looks at the river, is the capital of the Dajing Dynasty - Qianyang.
Qianyang is adjacent to the Shuze Mountains in the west, with many strange flowers and plants, rare birds and beasts; in the east, it is bordered by the Jiangnan Plain, which is rich in things and has a pleasant climate; in the north, it is the land of ancient Qin, and since ancient times, it is the place where capable people and talented men come out in large numbers, and it can be said that it is the throat of the world, and the geographical location is very important.
However, today's Qianyang City is full of breathless depression. At a glance, you can see the Yuyu Qiong Tower, but the high pavilion water pavilion is full of a sad coldness. On the originally prosperous and noisy streets, there are few pedestrians, and it is the forbidden army of the Imperial City wearing forest iron armor that comes and goes.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Qianyang is the land of the country, there are thieves who spread rumors, demagoguery, thinking that people's hearts are shaken, and the country is affected, so the forbidden city is seven days, the people need to think about it behind closed doors, thank the emperor, and cover the trip. Anyone who violates it will be dealt with according to the law. Whoever hears it will be killed. Whoever spreads rumors will be copied to the door. "When an edict came down, the city was full of wind and rain, and the people were panicked.
Imperial City, Xuanhe Palace.
This was originally the place where the ministers of the court and the central government discussed politics and played in front of the king, but at this moment, it was quiet and silent. The ministers stood solemnly, and in front of the hall, a Taoist man in a purple and blue robe sat on the ground, closing his eyes and concentrating, as if he was meditating. This person's eyebrows and hair are white, but his complexion is ruddy, his skin is delicate, it is not an exaggeration to say that he has a crane hair and a childish face, and his slender body is shrouded in a broad robe, which is quite a bit of a fairy style.
Even in the face of the Ninety-Five Supreme, the Manchu Dynasty, he was always expressionless and motionless, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
And sitting on the golden dragon chair directly above him was Li Xun, the emperor of the Great Jing Dynasty who had just been pushed onto the dragon chair and had not yet grown his fur.
Emperor Xuan was dressed in a black and gold dragon robe, wearing a nine-curtain crown on his head, and his short figure sat upright on the wide dragon chair, looking at the steps with a blank face and talking about the so-called state that had nothing to do with his age, if it weren't for the hard support of the eunuchs beside him, he would almost fall asleep.
Standing beside Emperor Xuan, this majestic man in a black python robe is the former minister of power, the only prince of the opposite sex under the current Dajing Dynasty, and Zhang Renliang, the king in danger.
It has only been a few days since the regency, and Zhang Renliang has begun to take on the appearance of an emperor, in comparison, the little emperor next to him who is full of ignorance and has not dried up is simply weak and pitiful.
I believe that if nothing happens, after a while, the little emperor will be able to officially issue an edict, and Zen will be virtuous. At that time, he Zhang Renliang skillfully took this Li Jingjiangshan and climbed to the top of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, without wasting a single soldier.
This position, he once dared not think of it back then. So far, it is only one step away, and speaking of which, he still has to thank the assassin who assassinated Emperor Gong.
And at this juncture, the accident really happened.
As soon as this incident came out, those who had been dormant for a long time and perhaps had already had a disobedient heart began to act stupidly again, which was not good news for him, who was in a predetermined and unstable position.
Rao is Zhang Renliang's city is extremely deep, and it is inevitable that he can't suppress the anger from his bones at this time. This has already offended his scales. But he also knew in his heart that the matter had come to this, even if Li Congjian was cut with a thousand knives, it would be useless.
After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Ren finally made a decision in his conscience, he straightened his face, and his tense face slowly eased. He looked directly at Li Congjian and asked solemnly: "Li Congjian, you are so bold! You spread such news to the world without authorization, do you want to instigate the world to make a counterplot to make chaos!" A roar of anger came down, and even the emperor next to him who was almost asleep was really taken aback.
Li Congjian's face changed slightly, then he raised his head, looked at Zhang Renliang, and said with a straight face: "My emperor Mingjian, what the poor Dao has done, he has a clear conscience! As the court of the Great Jing Kingdom, Longshoushan has been deeply favored by the imperial court for many years, how could he do such a disobedient thing. This matter is judged by the poor road, but this matter can be made public to the whole world, but it is definitely not the person of my Longshou Mountain!"
Zhang Renliang stared at Li Congjian for a long time, and asked in a condensed voice: "Since you are so sure, do you have a certificate?"
At this time, Li Congjian sighed slightly, and suddenly, he actually rose up.
The surrounding Wenchen generals were all startled, and they retreated one after another, only thinking that Li Congjian wanted to do something wrong, and the guards in front of the palace rushed in and surrounded the old Taoists.
Unexpectedly, Li Congjian just smiled and pulled out a blood-blue linen cloth from his long sleeves.
Li Congjian spread out the linen cloth, only to see a line of blood written on it.
"Tang Yin borrowed a horse outside the gate and left this note as a proof. ”
"Tang Yin?"
Zhang Renliang took a slight breath, looked firmly at the bloody strip of cloth, and chewed it carefully.
Li Congjian said eloquently: "This cloth is cut from the clothes on my deceased disciple Liu Xiao. On that day, I wanted to send these sixteen characters to my emperor's holy judge, so I sent my disciple Liu Xiao to enter Beijing with a secret letter and a fast horse, but when I passed through the Yuyang Ancient Road, I was robbed and killed by this gangster. I only found out about it when I heard the spread of the news, and when I found my disciple, he had been dead for three days. ”
Zhang Renliang pondered for a long time, and couldn't help but sneer: "Li Congjian, do you think that you can clear up the suspicion of your Longshou Mountain with this broken character? First, Tang Yin is a person, and the entire rivers and lakes are unheard of, so you didn't make it up out of thin air to excuse yourself." Second, why is it such a coincidence, it just so happened that your disciple met this person on the way to deliver a letter, could it be that this person had already learned about this matter beforehand, and waited for the rabbit to do so? Third, how could there be such a stupid person in this world who did bad things and did not forget to leave a note. Isn't this the place where there are no three hundred taels of silver?"
Li Congjian asked rhetorically: "Then in Your Majesty's opinion, my Longshou Mountain disregarded the lives of the disciples in the sect and fabricated a Tang Yin out of thin air, just to make my Longshou Mountain put on a posture of fearing that the world would not be chaotic?"
Zhang Renliang sneered: "Then according to your opinion, I can't wait thousands of miles to recruit you into Beijing, just to frame you?"
Li Congjian calmed down for a moment, looked at Zhang Renliang, and suddenly laughed: "It seems that no matter how Long Shoushan defends, he can't stay out of the matter." ”
Zhang Renliang arched his hand to Emperor Xuan: "If there is no reasonable explanation, you Longshou Mountain is disloyal to the saint and unrighteous in the world." ”
Li Congjian stroked his long beard lightly, and couldn't help sneering: "It's really a big hat of disloyalty and injustice! I think that my Longshou Mountain is a good Daomen ancestral court, and I was also favored by the emperor and supported by all the people, when did I suffer such an unwarranted disaster." But now that the disciples in the sect have been killed, not to mention, more than 300 disciples in the sect are in prison for the crime of rebellion, but the court is protecting the real murderer and not investigating it, only thinking about how to indiscriminately insist on condemning Yu Si. Dare to ask Your Majesty what kind of explanation he wants to give to the heroes of the world for such behavior!"
Zhang Renliang's face was slightly angry, and he shouted lightly: "Bold, Li Congjian, you are threatening the imperial court!"
Li Congjian bowed and replied, "Don't dare to be poor!"
"Don't dare? Zhang Renliang said in a condensed voice: "Li Congjian, I think you obviously want to use your Taoist ancestral court to blackmail the imperial court. It is true that it is unlikely that more than 100 people in Longshou Mountain District want to rebel, and no one will believe that you are collaborating with the enemy and treason, and betraying the country to seek glory. But you must know that this matter started because of you, and the consequences will be chaos in the rivers and lakes at least and shake the foundation of the country at the worst. If you are not punished today, and everyone will be like this in the future, where will my prestige be?"
Li Congjian raised his eyes and said in a cold voice: "In this case, there is nothing to say about the poor road, and everything is still for Your Majesty." ”
Zhang Renliang's eyes twisted angrily, and he waved his long sleeves: "Someone, take this thief to the heavenly prison and wait for interrogation." ”
"Yes!"
The two guards stepped forward after hearing the order, Li Congjian seemed to admit his fate, brushed the dust, looked up to the sky and walked out with a long smile.
