Chapter 21: The Beginning
Spring Breeze Pavilion
Ying Yi carried his hands behind him, and a crystal water dragon swam and undulated in front of him, very much like a young water dragon that had been given life, but if you look closely, you will find that the eyes of this water dragon are wooden, obviously only with its form and without its spirit.
A slight sound of footsteps sounded, Ying Yi frowned, and the water dragon in the air suddenly shattered, turning into countless splashes and falling back into the lake, a black shadow flashed under the water, and soon disappeared without a trace, as if it was an illusion.
"Your Highness, Emperor Yan has taken action against the sect, the Hongshi Sword Academy was broken by Yan Wujian and his army, none of the high-level cultivators of the sect were spared, and the rest of the disciples were imprisoned and sent to Yinshan County in a few days. ”
After Wei Huai finished speaking, he stood quietly in place, following Ying Yi for a while, he naturally knew Ying Yi's character, all he needed was to pass the information to Ying Yi, unless Ying Yi asked him to speak, otherwise he didn't need to express any other opinions.
"Hongshi Sword Academy?" Ying Yi didn't turn around, just muttered in a low voice, repeating what Wei Huai had mentioned before, with a faint puzzled tone.
"Hongshi Sword Academy, can be regarded as quite famous, the master of the academy has been cultivating to the Six Realms a few years ago, and most of the students who entered this sword academy are also from the market; three days ago, Emperor Yan ordered the cultivation sect in Yanjing City to move to Yinshan County, and accepted the military department's order to participate in the war against Zhao, and it was the Hongshi Sword Academy that first received the military department's order. ”
After a pause, Wei Huai continued: "It's just that at that time, the teaching of Hongshi Sword Academy refused to accept the order, and there was a dispute with someone from the military department, and a minister who passed the decree in the palace died in the conflict, and Emperor Yan ordered the Marquis of Xinling to personally lead troops to encircle and suppress Hongshi Sword Academy. ”
Frowning, Ying Yi said: "A mere sword academy teacher, he dares to attack and kill the ministers sent by Emperor Yan, he has such courage?"
"That teacher had no background, and he had already died on the spot at the beginning of the conflict, which was why the students of the Hongshi Sword Academy later had a more violent conflict with the military headquarters. ”
After finishing speaking, Wei Huai was slightly stunned, as if he had thought of something. "What does Your Highness mean?"
"If it's just a sword academy teaching, I'm afraid that you may not have the courage to quarrel with that envoy, let alone attack and kill the envoy, after all, the master of the Hongshi Sword Academy is still the master; Then it will be different. ”
Wei Huai's eyebrows raised slightly, and said: "Attacking and killing the envoy is equivalent to despising Tianwei, it is impossible for that sect to not know what kind of responsibility he has to bear for killing the imperial envoy in the Hongshi Sword Academy, this is already a conspiracy." ”
Ying Yi turned around. walked to the bamboo chair and sat down, and said with a smile: "It's not a rebellion, the person behind him just wants to use the Hongshi Sword Academy to stir up trouble in order to achieve some unknown purpose." ”
"His Royal Highness means that there are people making trouble in secret, but this is obviously against Emperor Yan, who can have such guts!"
"It's too early to say, things may not be what you think, only by continuing to watch can you know who is plotting behind it, so it's a little interesting!"
Ying Yi didn't understand when he spoke, although Wei Huai had doubts. But he didn't dare to ask more, and said, "In that case, what should we do?"
"There are countless troubles in catching fish in Qingshui, but if the water is muddy, then who knows whose hand is in the water, since someone has muddied the water for us, then if you don't reach out and touch a few big fish, wouldn't it be a great opportunity. ”
"Mobilize the people of the Black Ice Table, and wait for my orders at any time!"
"Yes, Your Highness. ”
"It's not that the Raptors are not the river. It's just that so many fierce dragons are flowing at the same time, what kind of confidence does Emperor Yan have to suppress this group of strong dragons!" After Wei Huai left, Ying Yi sat on the bamboo chair and sighed alone.
......
Xinling Marquis Mansion
"Father, why are you doing it so extremely? If it causes a backlash from the sectarian world, I'm afraid that it will be extremely difficult for me to die well in the Marquis of Xinling!"
Yan Qing, who was dressed in white like snow, asked the man in front of him, although the Marquis of Xinling led the troops to exterminate only an insignificant Hongshi Sword Academy, but he had already completely forced him to the opposite side of the sect, even if he accepted Emperor Yan's orders, he would not change.
Since ancient times, the imperial power and sects have been in constant struggle, and the important people involved in it are difficult to escape from this whirlpool of right and wrong. Compared to the imperial power and sectarian cultivation world, even a high-ranking prince and prime minister's mansion seems insignificant.
Looking at Yan Qing, who had obviously changed in front of him, a trace of joy flashed in the heart of the Marquis of Xinling, he already knew what happened to the young men who walked out of the Heavenly Tomb this time, and remembered that even if something really happened to him, someone would eventually be able to carry the banner of the Marquis of Xinling's Mansion, and he couldn't help but smile slightly.
Compared with Xinling Hou's indifference, Yan Qing's expression was extremely nervous, as the third son of Xinling Houfu, he naturally knew the meaning of the word "sect", the successive emperors of the Yan Dynasty did not want to collect the power of the sect for their own use, but until now those cultivation sects are still standing, which is enough to explain a lot of problems.
Although the strength of the Xinling Marquis Mansion is strong, but if it is really sandwiched between the sect and the imperial power, I am afraid that the slightest carelessness will be crushed into powder, this time the Xinling Marquis directly started to exterminate the Hongshi Sword Academy, which will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among some people, and there are many big people like Yan Wujian among these people, if these people are really dissatisfied with the Xinling Marquis Mansion, I am afraid that Yan Wujian will be extremely difficult to resist.
"The king's order cannot be violated!"
As soon as the Marquis of Xinling's voice fell, Yan Qing's face became even more ugly, he knew that he had guessed correctly, the Marquis of Xinling's Mansion had been involved in the whirlpool between the imperial power and the sect, and it was an unprecedented whirlpool, and he would fall into the abyss if he was not careful.
"What is Your Majesty going to do? Doesn't he know that this will cause great turmoil, and even overturn the scenery of the Yan Dynasty for thousands of years?"
"Xin'er, things are not what you think, the era of the cultivation sect has ended in the period of the Supreme Dynasty, this era belongs to the era of the dynasty and the supremacy of imperial power, and the cultivators of the sect will inevitably pass away like Yi Shuidong, and never return. ”
"The sects that have been dormant for so long, they have all been completely integrated into the imperial court, why are there twists and turns at such a critical juncture?" Yan Qing asked puzzled.
"Hmph! Those sect cultivators are very involved with the Middle Ages, they are now just using the power of the imperial court to hide themselves, the successive emperors have already had the intention to purge the universe, but at that time, the Supreme Dynasty fell apart, and the remaining strength was no longer enough to exterminate those sects and rebels. ”
"Then why break this tacit agreement now?"
"The disciples of the sect are not young talents with cultivation talents, these people do not know the laws of the dynasty after entering the cultivation sect, they only understand that the master's order is difficult to disobey, and the sect master even dares to confront the imperial court when he gives an order, how can such a wolf ambitious person be the blessing of the society; moreover, the sect is developing rapidly, if this form is not curbed as soon as possible, the trend of the sect's tail in the Middle Ages will inevitably repeat. ”
"Xie Hou is leading the army to confront the Zhao Dynasty against Yinshan, and several generals and princes will also rush to reinforcements, at this time, Your Majesty has no strength enough to suppress the cultivation sect except for the Black Nightmare Army in the hands of his father, how can he clear the universe?"
Although Yan Qing was jealous of the sect, he was born in the Hou family after all, so he naturally hoped that Emperor Yan could really clear the universe and stabilize the society.
"I have succeeded to the throne for several generations of emperors, isn't it the important task of sweeping away the sects, and the power accumulated in secret is not as simple as it seems, not to mention that you really think that those princes and generals in the military department have really left Yanjing City?"
"What does Father mean?" Although Yan Qing's status is noble, there are some things that he can't touch after all, and only important ministers like Xin Linghou can know about the scales and half claws.
"Wu Youjun has coveted the emperor's position for a long time, His Majesty was able to win the throne from many princes, and his methods are not something that Wu Youjun can see, even if Wu Youjun thinks that he controls half of the military department, it is only deliberately done by His Majesty, otherwise, with that person's means, a mere Wu Youjun is afraid that he has already taken off his armor and returned home and become a comfortable prince. ”
"Father is talking about Feng Yuanjun!" Yan Qing raised his eyebrows, and quickly thought of another big man in the military department.
Yan Wujian nodded, did not continue to stay on this topic, and continued: "This time, Your Majesty ordered the slaughter of the Hongshi Sword Academy for his father, just to see the reaction of those people, the Hongshi Sword Academy is just the beginning, and there will be more turmoil in Yanjing City next, at that time, you will follow your father's side, words are enough, if you want to cultivate an excellent general, what you need more is to teach by example." ”
"Thank you for your teachings!"
Yan Qing knelt on his knees, his eyes flashed with a hint of heat, he knew that he was finally recognized by his father, and he could finally call himself the prince of the Hou Mansion in a dignified manner, such a simple sentence, he didn't know how many years he had waited, and today it finally became a reality.
