Sima Chongcheng knew that Qunxiong was now only going to Daoguan to encircle him, because of his status as a Lingzhen Great Master canonized by the imperial court, and if those ministers concentrated on impeaching him, Sima Chongcheng, who had no connections in the court, would definitely be held accountable. Sima Chongcheng, the www.biquge.info of Pen, Fun, and Pavilion, then remembered Zhao Chengzong, who was trying his best to tie up with many high-ranking officials, and thought that only he could make those high-ranking officials suppress this matter.

Of course, Zhao Chengzong could do it, but he couldn't think of a reason to help Sima Chongcheng, who was in a state of despair at the time, after all, his friendship with these officials should be kept for use at critical moments in the future.

"What you are talking about is the affairs of the DPRK and China, how did I interfere with it?" Zhao Chengzong said unhappily.

Sima Chongcheng didn't see it that way, because he knew that at least three or four of the six Shangshu would buy his account, and as for the officials of other ranks, they were also happy to give him a favor. In this case, how can it be said that you can't be busy?

"The accountability and punishment of officials is under the jurisdiction of the Criminal Department and the Ministry of Officials, and the Lord of Zhao only needs to intercede with these two Shangshu, both of whom are distinguished guests of Yinglong Villa, you only need to say a word to save my life. Sima Chongcheng said hurriedly.

Zhao Chengzong saw that Sima Chongcheng knew a lot about the visitors in his house, so he couldn't shirk it anymore, so he said in embarrassment: "They came to Yinglong Villa to appreciate me, but it doesn't mean that they will listen to my advice." Besides, I am only a mere commoner, and it is a felony to do things like this, and if the court finds out about me, who can save me?"

What Zhao Chengzong said is also true, but Sima Chongcheng is also a person who has been in the court, and he still knows the problem of the circle. Since those officials are trying their best to tie up with Zhao Chengzong, it is obvious that they will not betray him, not to mention that Zhao Chengzong also holds the golden plaque in his hand because he saved the emperor of the dynasty, even if the great responsibility does not fall on his head.

Sima Chongcheng only felt that Zhao Chengzong wanted to die and not save him, but at present, no one could help him except him, could it be that this time he was really going to die? Sima Chongcheng didn't want to die, so he knelt down in front of Zhao Chengzong in a hurry, but he cried in tears: "I was canonized by the imperial court, which can be said to have earned enough face for the Red Lotus Sect, if the imperial court wants to punish me for my crime this time, presumably thousands of members of the Red Lotus Sect will be implicated, and I really can't bear it." I begged the Lord of the Zhao League to help me intercede with the adults, if I am saved, I will be driven by the Lord of the Zhao League from now on, and I will not hesitate to be a cow and a horse. ”

Sima Chongcheng begged for this at an advanced age, but Zhao Chengzong felt unbearable when he saw it. But Sima Chongcheng's words gave Zhao Chengzong a different idea: after all, the Red Lotus Sect is the first sect of Taoism today, and its members are all over the country.

In fact, Zhao Chengzong had already planned such a thing a long time ago, so that he would have a lot of help to Sima Chongcheng before. But who expected Sima Chongcheng to ******** his tail to the sky, and he didn't listen to Zhao Chengzong's greeting at all. Therefore, although Zhao Chengzong wanted to take the Red Lotus Sect for his own use, he did not want to see a white-eyed wolf like Sima Chongcheng again.

Zhao Chengzong thought about it for a long time, and let Sima Chongcheng bend his knees in front of him. Perhaps he thought that an ungrateful person like Sima Chongcheng deserved such humiliation. But Sima Chongcheng was bent on survival, but he didn't care about these at all. If Zhao Chengzong can agree to save him, no matter how humiliating and re-inflicted he is, he can do it.

"It's okay if you want me to intercede with the two Shangshu, but the whole world knows about your affairs, and I'm afraid that I can't hide from the first fifteenth year of junior high school. Zhao Chengzong said worriedly.

When Sima Chongcheng heard Zhao Chengzong's relent, he burst into tears and said with a smile: "No matter what he is on the fifteenth day of the first month, as long as there are no officials looking for me during this time, I will resign from the title of this great teacher as soon as possible, and then go away to the mountains." ”

Zhao Chengzong only felt that Sima Chongcheng was too unwilling, and he just wanted to abscond as soon as he encountered a setback, so he sneered: "Does Daoist Sima think that it will be okay to hide in the mountains? If the imperial court wants to pursue it, you will be turned out even if you reach the ends of the earth." At that time, the Red Lotus Sect will be a place to harbor criminals, and not only the disciples in the temple will be punished, but the other branches will also be banned one by one. ”

Zhao Chengzong's remarks meant that if someone in the DPRK brought up the old matter again, Sima Chongcheng would still be unable to escape death. Sima Chongcheng also believed in this, after all, there were too many things in the court that used and attacked each other.

"So I go to intercede can only save you for a while, but I can't save you for a lifetime. Even if I can save you, I may not be able to save you from the Red Lotus Sect. Zhao Chengzong said.

Sima Chongcheng was bent on surviving before, and he didn't think so far at all, but now when he heard Zhao Chengzong's analysis, he suddenly became discouraged.

Zhao Chengzong glanced at Sima Chongcheng obliquely, and said unhurriedly: "Actually, there is a way to save you and keep the Red Lotus Sect at the same time, but I don't know if you have such courage and courage." ”

Sima Chongcheng replied without saying a word: "As long as the Lord of the Zhao League can save me, I will agree to anything." ”

Zhao Chengzong nodded, and then said solemnly: "If you want no one to turn over your old case in the future, you must have the support of two Shangshu." The secretary of the ministry and the secretary of the criminal department are relatives of the Cai family, you just need to focus on one of them. ”

Sima Chongcheng knelt down again and again and thanked him: "Thank you Zhao Mengzhu for mentioning the point, I will go and prepare property to honor the two Shangshu." ”

Zhao Chengzong said disapprerovingly: "The two adults are high and powerful, what gold and silver mountains have not been seen? Not to mention that this time it is for their long-term support, you can't be reported by others once, you can give a financial gift, right?"

Sima Chongcheng thought about it for a while, but he also felt that this was the case, so he asked in embarrassment: "Please also ask the leader of the Zhao League to make it clear." ”

Zhao Chengzong then said his method: "Some time ago, the secretary of the ministry had a chat with me, saying that he was another nephew, who was born with smart qualifications but had no intention of family and country, and studied the way of immortals all day long, but it was to make him distressed. ”

Sima Chongcheng couldn't understand what Zhao Chengzong meant, so he looked at him in confusion.

Zhao Chengzong could see that Sima Chongcheng did not understand the intention of his words, so he had to preach more bluntly: "Before the official department was released, it was all thanks to his sister to help study, and now that he has become famous, he naturally wants to repay this kindness." But his nephew refused to take the official road, which really made his family distressed. But since his mind is not in the country of the country, why not follow his wishes and let him learn the deep mountains?"

When Zhao Chengzong said this, Sima Chongcheng finally understood a little, and said excitedly: "You mean to let him come to my Red Lotus Sect to cultivate? Why not, I can even accept him as the chief disciple of the Red Lotus Sect." ”

Zhao Chengzong shook his head and said: "People come from noble backgrounds, and they definitely don't want to be subservient." What's more, the official department Shangshu didn't want this nephew to just cultivate all his life, he just wanted to use the platform of the Red Lotus Sect to restore his nephew to a high-ranking official. ”

Sima Chongcheng was a little embarrassed, because Zhao Chengzong said that this person couldn't even look down on the position of the chief disciple of the Red Lotus Sect, so wouldn't only the sect leader be able to satisfy him? Sima Chongcheng then pretended not to know and asked, "What does Zhao Meng Master mean?"

"If you can accept the nephew of the Ministry of Officials as a disciple and pass on the position of sect leader to him, then you will be able to fulfill the wish of the Ministry of Officials. You think, his nephew is the new leader of the Red Lotus Sect, and the Red Lotus Sect will definitely be fine. And if the secretary wants to remember your feelings, he will naturally protect you. Isn't it a one-and-done move?" Zhao Chengzong said firmly.

If he did what Zhao Chengzong said, wouldn't Sima Chongcheng end up alone? And once he had nothing, what could he do to deal with the rest of the matter? In this way, Sima Chongcheng hesitated.

Zhao Chengzong knew that Sima Chongcheng would have a difficult choice, so he said unhappily: "This is the only way to save you and the Red Lotus Sect, if you don't agree, don't come to me again." ”

After saying that, Zhao Chengzong got up and wanted to leave. Sima Chongcheng knew that Zhao Chengzong's departure would bring him a catastrophe, so he said fiercely: "Poor Dao is old, and he should find someone to succeed him." Since he is a relative of the Ministry of Officials, he must be able to win a lot of benefits for the Red Lotus Sect, but it is even better to make him the new sect leader. ”

Zhao Chengzong saw Sima Chongcheng's reply, so he softened and said: "Daoist Sima has such wisdom and courage, if I don't save you this time, I will be ashamed." Come, get up quickly. ”

When Sima Chongcheng saw that Zhao Chengzong decided to help him, he was also relieved. But Zhao Chengzong didn't want Sima Chongcheng to stay in Yinglong Villa longer, so he briefly explained tomorrow's things and asked Sima Chongcheng not to break his promise.

It turned out that Zhao Chengzong planned to introduce the nephew of the official department to meet with Sima Chongcheng tomorrow, and Sima Chongcheng would not only accept him as a disciple in the room, but also pass on the throne to him on the spot. As for announcing the affairs of the world, Sima Chongcheng only needs to repair one book, and someone else will naturally do it for him.

Sima Chongcheng only felt that all this was too hasty, but Zhao Chengzong didn't want to bother thinking about it at all, so he said with a sinking face: "Is Daoist Sima reluctant?"

Sima Chongcheng saw Zhao Chengzong's reaction, but he was also worried that he would change his mind temporarily, so he could only deliberately smile and replied again and again: "Willingly, poor Dao willingly." ”

Zhao Chengzong still said sternly: "At that time, Lord Shangshu will meet with you to discuss this matter in detail, so you must be present tomorrow." ”

Of course, Sima Chongcheng also understood this truth, so he nodded again and again and said: "Don't worry, even if the sky falls tomorrow, I will never break my word." ”

Zhao Chengzong's eyebrows relaxed at this time, and he said: "You are too conspicuous now, it is better to come out less, but if there is anything, I will send someone to contact you, and you must not come here to find me without authorization." ”

Although Sima Chongcheng felt uncomfortable when he heard this, he had to nod his head with a smile on his face. Zhao Chengzong saw that Sima Chongcheng had already understood, so he didn't even say goodbye and went back to the mansion. Sima Chongcheng felt cold, but he had no choice but to sneak out of Yinglong Villa and go back to his Taoist temple. (To be continued.) )
