Chapter 231: The Eastern Capital Stays Behind
An eleven or twelve-year-old child in a high-crowned robe, with a face like a crown of jade, with handsome facial features, resembling a large porcelain doll, sitting on a throne with clear and bright eyes, is looking at Wu Xin......
Yue Wang Yang Tong.
Although he tried his best to make a very serious and solemn appearance, he couldn't hide the curiosity and admiration in his eyes, obviously he knew something about Wu Guogong Wuxin in advance.
The official closest to Yang Tong was an old man wearing a robe, with a long beard hanging down his chest, a gentle face, and a rather stable and honest appearance.
According to Wuxin's previous life, during the battle of the Eastern Capital, Fan Zigai was left behind in the Eastern Capital. If Wu Xin wants to control the military power of the Eastern Capital, this person is the strongest opponent, so he naturally pays special attention.
However, now Fan Zigai has not been canonized as the Eastern Capital.
Opposite Fan Zigai, a middle-aged man wearing a literary robe, but with a burly body and a fierce temperament, is Yang Wang, the son of the country, who looks more like a military general than a civil official.
Yang Wang is from the Hongnong Huayin Yang clan, and is of the same clan as Yang Qifeng, the saint daughter of the Hehuan Sect. This clan also has Yang Xiong, the king of the Great Sui Dynasty, Yang Gongren, Yang Shidao and other famous Tianjiao, which should not be underestimated.
Wu Xin paid more attention to these two people, and others had heard about them, so they were a little wrong.
There were thirty-five people in total, only eleven were wearing civil and military official uniforms, and the rest were obviously not Great Sui officials, as well as nine monks and five Taoist priests.
Those who can rank in the main hall are not low in status, either they are officials of the Great Sui, or they are overlords or representatives of forces.
In this world, strength is respected, which means that everyone in the hall is not low in cultivation.
More than 30 people looked at Wu Xin together, the momentum was like the coercion of the waves, coupled with the majestic and magnificent and deep and vast hall environment, it was easy to give people the feeling of being humble and small, and they had to be cautious!
Wu Xin ignored the coercion of everyone and walked into the hall, until the front of the hall, before he hugged his hands and bowed to salute:
"Old minister Wu Xin. See His Royal Highness King Yue. The state affairs are urgent, and I failed to meet in time, please punish Your Highness!"
Lao Chen is the self-title of the courtier with old qualifications, and it is also the self-title of the person with a higher position.
"The big thing is important, the national public is exempt from courtesy, and the seat is given!"
Yang Tong responded with an old-fashioned and steady manner, with a rigorous posture and etiquette, but his immature face and bright eyes weakened the silky and steady old age.
Soon a eunuch sent a rosewood seat. Located at the forefront of everyone, there is quite a tendency to be below one person and above ten thousand.
Wu Xin was not allowed to sit down, causing everyone present to look strange, but they were silent.
Without him, the owner of this place is a yellow-mouthed child, and the head of them all is a weak-crowned boy.
Although both of them seem quite precocious and steady, their age is there. Let a group of people in their seventies and eighties, the youngest and more than half a hundred, how can they be embarrassed!
But they can't find fault with it, Yang Tong, the king of Yue, is the emperor's grandson and prince. There's not much to say. Wuxin's military generals and civil officials are all four grades, and they are the members of both civil and military affairs, second only to the Ministry of Civil Affairs Shangshu Fan Zigai. But he is the Duke of Wuguo, and his title is unbeatable. Several levels higher than Fan Zigai, who had the highest title present, not to mention those who didn't even have a title!
Who wants to think that Wu Xin is young and underestimated, think of Yang Su, the Yue King of the Nine Kings of the Great Sui Dynasty who has been powerful for a hundred years. If he killed it with his own hands, he will be honest!
The title of Duke of Wuguo was obtained by stepping on the corpse of Yang Su, the king of Yue, and no one could find out why.
More importantly, Wu Guogong Wuxin seems to be young, but he has a fruitful record. Fighting the purple-faced king, killing the genius of the Taiyuan Wang family, going south to serve as the county commander in blood, slaughtering Jurong, suppressing the bandit Maoshan, fighting the bloody Ji County, ambushing the king of Yue, bloodbathing Wuyang, fighting Tongshan fiercely, etc., just looking at these deeds, you know that Wu Guogong is stepping on countless corpses, coming all the way to blood, is a ruthless, decisive and bloody master!
"Why is Wu Guogong in a hurry to lead his army to besiege Zheng Mansion?"
The atmosphere of the hall was quite silent, and Yang Tong, the king of Yue, took the lead in asking, but the childish sound was not gone, but it was also a little majestic.
"His Royal Highness the King of Yuyue! In extraordinary times, extraordinary methods are practiced! The old minister has reliable information and evidence, and the Luoyang Zheng clan colluded with the angry knife, blood whip, butterfly and other major members of the border pass assassination case, and they are involved in many anti-forces. Now that the rebel army is about to come to the city, in order to avoid chaos and mistaken major events in the eastern capital, the old minister has to cut it first and then play, and the thunder will be destroyed, please Your Highness to investigate!"
Wu Xin sat upright in his chair, and responded calmly with a righteous and awe-inspiring attitude for the country and the people.
"Oh, it's a pity that Zheng's ......" Yang Tong responded, obviously just asking procedurally, not paying much attention!
Fan Zigai arched his hand and asked: "Dare to ask Wu Guogong, I don't know what reliable news and evidence do you have?" After all, the Zheng family is a wealthy family in the eastern capital, and they also control the military power of Henan County, and the time is not very suitable for a sudden attack!"
"Because of this, this prince wants to be destroyed by thunder, otherwise the rebels will come to the city, if the Zheng family takes the opportunity to make a rebellion, who can afford this responsibility?!"
For Fan Zigai, Wu Xin was not so respectful, just nodded politely, and took it for granted. He continued: "Lord Shangshu may not know, the Zheng family has already admitted by himself, and there were representatives of Dade Temple, Dugu Clan, White Horse Temple, Dexing Bofu, Pingkou County Gong and other representatives as evidence. ”
"Oh, and this?" Fan Zigai replied in amazement.
Since Zheng himself admitted it, the evidence or anything is naturally not important.
Of course, Fan Zigai is not avenging the Zheng family or has an opinion on Wu Xin, but he is just responsible for interrogation, lest Yang Tong, the king of Yue, open his mouth, and just such a sentence will be gone, which is not majestic!
Wu Xin glanced at everyone present, and replied lightly: "Well, according to Zheng Long, the patriarch of the Zheng clan, the assassination case at the border also involved many super forces such as the Dugu clan, the White Horse Temple, and the Taiyuan Wang clan.
"Uh......"
Including Yang Tong and Fan Zigai, everyone present was stunned and shocked, and the atmosphere suddenly stagnated, looking depressed and dull.
This is the reaction brought about by power, the gathering of the strong, and the change of emotions will cause obvious changes in the airflow, breath, atmosphere, etc.
"Amitabha! How can the words of the crazy struggle of the anti-thief in the last days be taken seriously? Fortunately, the martial arts are both civil and military, shrewd and far-sighted, and know the good deeds of the soldiers, and they will be destroyed and strangled as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless troubles in the future!
An old monk with white eyebrows, with a solemn appearance, sighed with compassion on his face, but obviously slapped Wu Xin highly.
"......" Wu Xin looked at the old monk suspiciously.
Fan Zigai said in time: "This is the first seat in the front hall of the White Horse Temple, the representative of the White Horse Temple's negotiations with the imperial court. ”
The White Horse Temple is known as the first temple of Buddhism, and there are sayings such as "ancestral garden" and "Shiyuan", the strength is unfathomable, it is a behemoth, and there are naturally many positions of all kinds.
The so-called first seat in the front hall is the supreme host of the White Horse Temple in charge of foreign affairs, just like the Ministry of Rites, to put it bluntly, the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Of course, since it is the first seat of the White Horse Temple, its strength is naturally extremely terrifying, and it is estimated that it is no less than the Juechen Master of the four first seats of the Shaolin Temple killed by Wu Xin, that is, the peak monk of the level of the Demon Queen!
Wu Xin smiled and nodded, and said comfortingly: "What Zen Master Benjue said is extremely true, and my father also thinks so, how can the words of a thief be taken seriously!"
As far as Wu Xin knows, the White Horse Temple is now a "wide source of heart, Benjue is prosperous, Nengren Shengguo, and often performs magnanimity", and there are already Changzi disciples.
It is conceivable that the seniority of the Zen master of Benjue is very high.
"Amitabha! Wu Guogong is wise and wise, has both ability and political integrity, is loyal to the monarch and the country, and sees thousands of miles, which is really the blessing of the Great Sui and the blessing of the common people!"
Zen Master Benjue announced another Buddha name, and praised it repeatedly.
Hearing Wu Xin and everyone present, the expression was strange, in order to appease Wu Xin, the White Horse Temple really said good things, the demeanor of the peak monk?
No wonder it's the first seat in the front hall, not only for the cultivation of strength, but also for this cheeky eloquence!
A wealthy middle-aged man wearing a marquis's purple robe sneered and said, "Joke! My Dugu clan is recognized as a loyal minister of the Great Sui, the family of the Miaoshan Bodhisattva, how could I assassinate the Holy Lord? Do something unfavorable to the Great Sui?!"
Miaoshan Bodhisattva refers to the Empress Dowager Dugu Jialuo of the Great Sui, and Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, and is called the two saints.
"This is the son of Jianzhong Marquis (Dugu Tuo), Dugu Chan, the representative of the Dugu clan in Luoyang!" Fan Zigai said in a friendly voice.
Dugu Tuo is the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Dugu Jialuo of the Great Sui, the sixth brother, and a famous historical general. His son Dugu Chan naturally had an extraordinary identity and continued the title of his father Dugu Tuo.
"What you said doesn't count, what my father said doesn't count, and what Zheng Long said doesn't count. However, what the facts are, this father will find out!"
Wu Xin glanced at Dugu Chan and said in a calm tone. After a pause, he said with great curiosity: "Now that the geniuses of the former Korean Beiyan Kingdom, the Xiongnu Zhao Kingdom, and the Xianbei Wei Kingdom are emerging in an endless stream and are famous all over the world, I wonder if the Marquis of Jianzhong has sent representatives of the clan to compete for power?
"It's just a few small families, it's not worth mentioning. What's more, those are just young people's ......"
Dugu Chan waved his hand arrogantly, paused, suddenly reacted, glared at Wu Xin angrily and asked, "What do you mean by Wu Guogong? Do you think that my Dugu clan really participated in the assassination case at the border pass?"
Dugu clan, along the Dugu Hun Department of Xianbei in the former Northern Wei Dynasty, is a surname with the sinicization of tribal names.
Wu Xin This is a reflection of the Dugu clan is also a relic of the previous dynasty, his heart is difficult to know, fortunately, Dugu Chan is not too stupid, and the reaction is very fast!
Including Yang Tong, Fan Zigai and others, they were shocked for a while, they didn't expect that Duke Wu would dare to tease even the Queen Mother's family, it was really arrogant and cruel!
"It's not my opinion, but what Zheng Long said. Of course, this duke will see everything, and Marquis Jianzhong doesn't need to worry!" Wu Xin replied with a smile.
Dugu Chan frowned and said, "I didn't do it Dugu again, what are you worried about?"
"That's good, huh...... Ben Gong thinks it shouldn't be!" Wu Xin replied with a smile.
Fan Zigai looked at Wu Xin deeply, and he heard it.
Wu Guogong is beating, warning and blackmailing the Dugu clan, and Fan Zigai can only sigh...... I'm getting old!
"Ahem, ahem, Zheng's matter, just control the impact!"
Yue Wang Yang Tong coughed dryly a few times to prevent Dugu Chan from continuing to entangle. After a pause, he looked at Wu Xin and asked:
"We are deliberating, the opposition is coming, and the situation is critical. One person needs to be in charge of the overall situation, that is, the eastern capital stays behind, I don't know who Wu Guogong thinks is the most suitable?"
The second update arrives at ...... Commuter Pass!Recommended Pass!Thank you!Thank you!(To be continued.) )
