Chapter 586: Turmoil
These days have not been peaceful, and the entire Tang martial arts world is in chaos. There are two things that shocked Han Tongwen the most www.biquge.info the pen, the prince of the super martial arts force Su Wangfu, died, and then the establishment of the Blood Demon Sect!
Regarding Li Su's death, Han Tongwen has not recovered from the shock until now, originally he told King Ze to let Li Su choose to hibernat, but Li Su relied on the strength of Su Wangfu to ignore the advice left by Li An. After Li Su learned of Yin Yi's hiding place, he led the powerhouses of Su Wang's Mansion to set out, and the entire martial arts world was waiting for the disappearance of the notorious organization of Yin Kill Lou, but in the end, it was Li Su's death and the fall of Su Wangfu. No one in the deep mountains and old forests knew what was going on, and they all thought it was nonsense, but when Li Su's corpse and the corpses of the powerhouses of King Su's Mansion appeared in view, the entire Tang Dynasty martial arts world fell into a panic.
One Martial Saint, six Great Martial Sects, what kind of power can destroy them? There are only two in the entire Tang Dynasty that have the ability to kill Suwangfu, Wanjian Villa and Wudian. However, the injuries on these people are not sword wounds, Wudian Wukong and Su Wangfu have always been the emperor's right-hand men, and neither of them has a motive, and the fall of Su Wangfu has become an unsolved case for a while. After the Suwang Mansion was destroyed within a day, Li Ze also chose to evacuate Chang'an and returned to the land of Longxing of the Li family with the Northern Ya Forbidden Army.
Without the supervision of the Su Wangfu, the entire Tang martial arts world began to become active, and all kinds of rampant evils that had been suppressed began to spread, the most popular of which was undoubtedly the establishment of the Blood God Sect. There is a cliff in the Taihang Mountains that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the infamous Blood Demon chose to found the Blood God Cult here. Those people of the Blood God Sect have strange kung fu, sucking human blood, there were originally people who claimed to be righteous to go to encircle and suppress but all failed without exception, and the Blood Demon even beheaded these strong people in public on the edge of the cliff, and the heads of the four Great Martial Sects built the prestige of the Blood God Sect, and this cliff has also become a terrifying blood cliff!
Those real powerhouses in the Tang Dynasty martial arts world also began to notice the threat of the Blood Demon Sect, because the address he chose to open the sect was the former site of the Demon Palace that was a disaster three hundred years ago, and it was even rumored that the Blood Demon had found the Demon Palace's Peerless Spirit Capture Sutra back then. Regardless of whether this is true or not, the Martial Palace can't sit idly by, without the Su Wangfu, the Wu Palace took the initiative to take on the responsibility of the Su Wangfu, and Wukong summoned all the major martial arts families in the Tang Dynasty to start the Blood Demon Sect.
The Blood Demon Sect and Yandang Peak face each other across the mountain, how can Jiao Lishi let the Blood Demon Sect sit big, but unfortunately Jiao Lishi himself can't take down the Blood Demon, these young powerhouses have grown to the point where they can't be ignored.
Although Han Tongwen is the head of Qingya Academy, he is also the master of the Qi Sect, and the Martial Palace actually sent him an invitation letter when he held a meeting of the major martial arts forces, but unfortunately Han Tongwen threw away the invitation with a few sneers on his face.
Not only in the martial arts world, but also in the entire Datang situation, there is some turmoil. The situation in the court is changing, originally thought that Li Dan would have the opportunity to ascend to the throne after the abolition of Emperor Li Zhe, but Empress Wu did not relinquish his power for a long time, Pei Yan and those courtiers became more and more uneasy, because they found that Empress Wu had the idea of changing the dynasty.
Pei Yan has always wanted to be a powerful minister in his heart, Li Zhe was disobedient, so he united with Empress Wu to abolish the emperor, but if Empress Wu changed the dynasty, he would never allow it. Xu Jingye held up the name of the Li clan of the Kuangfu royal family to launch a mutiny in Yangzhou, Pei Xingjian originally wanted to return to the court after the king of Qin, but if he returned to the dynasty, the defense of the entire border would be greatly weakened, giving the Dongying Empire an opportunity.
Empress Wu is now also dealing with the Yangzhou mutiny, but no one among the courtiers cooperates with her, which makes her helpless. Pei Yan is the minister who stayed before Li Zhi's death, the courtier of Tuogu, and has mastered most of the power in the court in the past two years, Pei Yan even forced her to return power to Li Dan in public, which made the Empress Wu furious, but fortunately, she also had a way to deal with the cunning Pei Yan. Pei Yan actually had a correspondence with Xu Jingye, the criminal of the Yangzhou rebellion, and there were only two words on the letter, but the Beimen bachelor next to Empress Wu dismantled these two words into one sentence, dismantling the green character into December, and the goose character into my own self, and I would participate in the December Mutiny.
A letter put Pei Yan on death row as a traitor and a fellow party, and the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military pleas were rejected by the Empress Wu. No one thought that a woman would actually want to change the dynasty, but when it came to this step, the prime ministers Liu Renliang and Gao Jifu found that the entire court seemed to be isolated, and all the important towns in the Tang Dynasty were already in the hands of the Empress Wu, and they had no skills to return to the sky.
Han Tongwen stood outside the door holding the book in his hand and couldn't calm down for a long time, at this time the sky was snowing heavily, and the Tang Dynasty was about to enter the cold winter era, and sure enough, Empress Wu finally ascended the throne as the emperor and changed the dynasty to the Great Zhou. He had seen the methods of the Empress Wu a long time ago, but it turned out that he still did not fully understand this powerful woman. The rebellion in Yangzhou was put down in only two months, Pei Xingjian was also set up by her, and Li Junxian threw himself into a rat trap, because his whole family was in Chang'an. Only literati will shout that orthodoxy is unorthodox, and the people all over the world only care about whether there is food in their bowls and whether there is surplus food in their jars.
Women as emperors are simply unacceptable in the eyes of all literati, as well as those diehards of the Li Tang royal family, the reaction of these people is beyond Han Tongwen's expectations. Nearly half of the people in the entire court resigned and returned to their hometowns, Qin Lijian's grandfather Qin, in order to show his disgust of following the Li Tang royal family, actually set up an oil pot on the court and jumped in front of the Empress Wu, and was killed by Yu Chilin, who was hated by Han Tongwen, and was killed on the dragon pillar with blood splattered on the spot.
He didn't have the courage of these people, and he couldn't change anything when the matter was already settled.
Among the four major academies, except for Qingya Academy, the other three academies are closed to cultivating any talents for the court. All of a sudden, the voice of anti-military force in the world was loud, and the voices of literati in various places continued to demonstrate. Han Tongwen tried his best to restrain the students of Qingya Academy not to participate in the chaos in Chang'an, because he knew that in order to consolidate his power, Empress Wu would not show any mercy to these opposing voices, and the only possibility was to use killing to stop all kinds of rumors.
The era of cool officials has come, and Lai Junchen, who was in the prison of Chang'an Mansion, has become the darling of the military queen, and has been imprisoned by the hand of Lai Junchen, and has connected many civil and military generals in the name of rebellion, and the shadow of cool officials is shrouded in the sky over Chang'an. The current civil officials will say goodbye to their families with tears before going to the court, and arrange the aftermath of the funeral, for fear that they will never return, and the court will be like a funeral.
Zhou Xing, Lai Junchen, and Suo Yuanli are the most powerful vicious dogs around Empress Wu. After Xu Jingye's rebellion was quelled, Empress Wu found that the voice of the world revolting against her was very high, and in order to consolidate her unstable rule, she could only let these three people re-purge the officialdom.
The three of them are like the evil ghosts of Chang'an City, and Zhou Xing is responsible for cleaning up the Li royal family. Originally, the two sharp weapons of the Li royal family, the Suwangfu and the Beiya Forbidden Army, one retreated to the Guanlong area, and the other had been tragically destroyed. The current Li family royal family has no room for resistance, they were originally high up and are now just meat on someone else's board. In order to win the favor of the Empress Wu, Zhou Xing did not have any mercy on these old royal families, and assassinated Shi Li Zhen, assassinated Shi Li Chong, Dao Wang Yuanqing, and Xu Wang Yuanli were given to death one after another, and their families were exiled to the land of Baiyue. Then he whipped Li Yin, the king of the south, and other sect disciples, and even the two sons of the late crown prince Li Xian were not spared.
Although Empress Wu pretended not to know, there was a big and small matter in Chang'an City that could escape the shrewd eyes of her, and she did not let go of her grandson and indulged these cool officials. In addition to the children of the Li royal family who fled to the land of Guanlong, hundreds of the children of the Li clan who stayed in Chang'an were killed. Zhou Xing alone will destroy the huge Li royal family in Chang'an in just three months, killing thousands!
Zhou Xing successfully ascended to the throne with such "merits", and Lai Junchen was naturally not to be outdone. Han Tongwen left him in the Chang'an Mansion at the beginning of the memory affected his heart, from the time he left the prison he found that if the world is afraid, it is only ruthless, so it is also very cruel to deal with those opposing voices, and even said in the middle of the "The matter is not big, it is not amazing, the case is not as good as the public, and the merit is obvious." The upper is to seek peace, and the lower is to invite pets, and its wishes are inherent and unavoidable", its ferocity can be seen.
