This debate lasted until twilight the next day, and finally ended in the defeat of many scholars.

Li Fenggu not only has a reputation this time, but even the northwest and northeast, which are not good at fighting a hundred battles.

After the "battle", no one dared to go to Xianhua Temple to challenge this foreign strong dragon crossing the river, but Li Fenggu came to Jiangdu thousands of miles away, naturally not to seek a moment of tranquility, so he challenged again after the tongue battle group Confucianism, this time the object was the master of Jiangnan Daomen, the great real person Du Haixiao.

Although Du Haiyun was expelled from Jiangdu City by Xu Beiyou, after all, the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and he is still a pivotal figure, and at this moment, Du Haiyun represents not only him, not even just Jiangnan Daomen, but the entire Daomen, if Du Haiyun is also defeated, that is to say, the Daomen lost to the Holy Church.

Buddhism can lose, because there is Confucianism after Buddhism, and Confucianism can also lose, because there is Taoism after Confucianism, but Taoism cannot lose, because Taoism is the head of the world's sects.

Because of this matter, the Daomen was shaken, and the real person in charge of the sect Qiu Ye personally asked, and then the leader of the classic sect, one of the five sects of the Daomen, the palace master of the Dharma Palace, the hall master of the Daozang Palace, and Bai Yunzi, who had presided over the compilation of the Taoist scriptures among the disciples of the sect, went down the mountain and went to Jiangdu.

After a small court meeting between the cabinet and the celebrant supervisor, His Majesty Xiao Xuan also personally asked about this grand event in the south of the Yangtze River, and the new cabinet deputy Xie Suqing replied, while the cabinet chief assistant Han Xuan and the celebrant Zhang Baisui were very indifferent to this matter, and they were silent.

After the small court meeting, Han Xuan and two other cabinet members returned to the cabinet, and among the many eunuchs headed by Zhang Baisui, except for Zhang Bao on duty to serve, the rest of the people also returned to the celebrant supervisor, only Xie Suqing, the second assistant of the cabinet, was left by His Majesty the Emperor.

The difference between monarchs and ministers is not just an empty word, no matter how deep the two were before, after each put on the coat of the monarch and minister, after all, they must distinguish between the upper and lower dignity, this is the rule, if you forget the rules, the countless bloody allusions to monarchs and ministers in the history books have been said very clearly, you live and die, there is no second ending.

However, people are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless, with this layer of affection, the affection between monarchs and ministers is very different after all.

A group of three people walked slowly behind the towering palace wall, when the emperor was old, tired of political affairs, so many political affairs were sent to the cabinet by him, and the cabinet drafted votes, because the cabinet was written with a blue pen, so it was called "batch blue". Then it will be handed over to the celebrant eunuch, and the eunuch will make a decision on behalf of the celebrant eunuch, because it is written by the red pen, which is also the so-called "batch red". If there is no proposed vote, there is no red to approve, but if the red is not approved, no matter how beneficial the cabinet vote is to the country and the people, it is also a dead letter. This is the eunuch interference who has always been criticized by the world's scholars and Qingliu. But no matter how the scholars objected, the eunuch who held the seal of the celebrant also became a figure comparable to the head of the cabinet.

In a sense, the combined authority of the chief assistant of the cabinet and the eunuch in charge of the seal of the celebrant is equivalent to that of most emperors. And under the two of them is the second assistant of the cabinet and the chief chief of the celebrant Bingbi, and it is also the existence of the first assistant of the cabinet and the eunuch of the palm seal.

This tradition lasted until the twenty years after His Majesty the Emperor ascended the throne, and it was not until the first assistant Lan Yu resigned as the head of the cabinet that His Majesty the Emperor began to gradually withdraw authority from the cabinet and the master of ceremonies.

After walking for more than half an hour, the three of them came to a pavilion, and His Majesty the Emperor sat down first, with one hand on the stone table, and the other hand pressed against the cabinet assistant who was still standing, "There is no need to pay attention to so much red tape in private. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Xie Suqing bowed lightly and sat down on half a stool.

His Majesty the Emperor asked, "What do you think of that Li Fenggu?"

Xie Suqing said with a straight face: "Weichen has specifically asked Count Ai about this matter, Li Fenggu is undoubtedly a high-ranking person in the extreme west, but there is something strange about coming to Jiangdu this time. ”

"What's wrong?" His Majesty the Emperor said softly, "What's the strange method?"

Xie Suqing said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid that someone is behind the scenes, otherwise how could he, an outsider, set off such a big formation." ”

His Majesty the Emperor couldn't see the expression of joy or anger on his face, and asked, "Zhang Bao, what do you think?"

Because the celebrant has the right to approve the red and is regarded as a minister, the top eunuch also calls himself a minister.

Zhang Bao bent down and said softly: "Back to Your Majesty, according to the minister's humble opinion, this is a battle between sects, and our court will just watch from the wall." ”

Emperor Zheng was noncommittal, and asked instead: "I heard that Li Fenggu handed over a letter of worship to Du Haiyun of Jiangnan Daomen again, and wanted to divide the victory or defeat in the Great Bao'en Temple, what do you think?"

Zhang Bao said softly: "Back to Your Majesty's words, the two tigers will definitely be injured when they fight, and this is a good opportunity to weaken the Daomen." ”

Xie Suqing hesitated slightly: "After all, this matter is about the face of Daqi, if the court ignores it, I am afraid that it will be criticized." ”

After a moment of silence, His Majesty the Emperor waved his hand: "I'm tired, you can stand down." ”

"No. ”

Xie Suqing got up to salute, and then slowly exited the pavilion with Zhang Bao.

Xiao Xuan sat alone in the pavilion.

This year is the twenty-third year of Da Qi Chengping, he was born in the third year of Da Zheng Jianwen, in a blink of an eye, he is already a fifty-six-year-old man, seventy years old, in a sense, he is also an old man who is about to enter the twilight of his life.

In the twilight of life, there are nothing more than two situations, one is to accept fate, thinking about what is after death, and the other is not to accept fate, thinking about how to continue life, even more so for the emperors of previous dynasties.

Xiao Xuan is a person who accepts his fate, he knows that there has never been an immortal emperor in this world, so he didn't spend his energy on it, and today, he has begun to arrange the things behind him.

Maybe it's a little early, but if you count it according to Xiao Bai's age, it's really not early.

Xiao Bai is already in his prime.

Xiao Xuan stretched out his hand to his forehead, and sighed in a very soft voice: "Chengping twenty-three years, the so-called Chengping, inheriting the peace of the world, but unfortunately my world is not peaceful, if I can give me another thirty years, I will definitely be able to hand over a peaceful world to Taibai's hands, but unfortunately, there has never been an emperor in the world for a hundred years, and God may not give me thirty years." ”

Xiao Xuan shook his head, looked in the direction of Jiangdu, his eyes were slightly dark, and he said to himself in an almost imperceptible voice: "It's all in one battle." ”
