He received another secret edict from the Western Jin Dynasty. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

In the face of the secret edict of the Western Jin Dynasty, he was at the peak of his life, and he wanted to continue to enjoy the respect of the world, so he calmly accepted the other party's request.

There was a bloody storm in the capital, and General Xuanwei's mansion was full of punishments.

Ximen Wang knew that by doing so, he would anger His Majesty the Emperor, who was touring Daze, but he believed that with his merits, no matter how angry His Majesty was, it would be impossible for him to do it to himself without evidence, and he vaguely hoped that His Majesty would not canonize the concubine named Summer as the queen when he was angry.

He didn't want his own sister to become the queen of the rising sun, because he knew it was a dangerous thing. However, he didn't expect that His Majesty still made his sister the queen mother.

Compared with these stories, how much blood and dust the stone lion in front of General Xuanwei's mansion was stained has never moved Ximen Wang, let alone made him sentimental.

In the study of the Prince's Palace.

Chu Tiancheng looked at Ximen Wang and said bitterly: "The general still has blood circulating in the world, this matter is nothing, but if the general's son, who is determined to avenge him, has now become Xuanwei's personal disciple and the gentleman of the Blue Kite Pavilion of the Dushan Sect, this matter will be troublesome." ”

Ximen Wang was silent for a moment and said, "What does Your Highness mean...... Xu Chen is that man's son?"

Chu Tiancheng sighed and said, "I don't want to admit that this is true, but there is no other explanation other than this." ”

"At that time, I personally supervised the case of the seizure and beheading of the General's Mansion, and there were very few people who could be exempted from punishment and leave the government according to Tang Law. ”

Ximen looked at the slightly flickering candle flame on the bookcase, and said expressionlessly: "The general has only two sons, and the characteristics on his body are all recorded, and I have personally checked them. ”

Chu Tiancheng said: "Then this shows that someone has done something. ”

Ximen Wang said with an indifferent expression: "Even if Xu Chen is the general's son, what can he do?"

Ximen Wang's expression was very indifferent, like the remnant snow that could be seen outside Tuyang City until late spring, his lips were thin and cold as iron, and his voice naturally had a calm and strong taste after squeezing out of it.

His Royal Highness the Prince said that Xu Chen's possible background did not make the general vigilant, because he had absolute confidence in this matter.

Probably infected by his demeanor at this time, Chu Tiancheng's expression also relaxed slightly, thinking that in the absence of evidence, the imperial brother did not do anything back then, and it will not be what it is now, no matter who it is, it is impossible to overturn the case of General Xuanwei's treason.

As for whether Xu Chen will deal with Ximen Wang like the dead in the dossier, it is not something that these two big people in the study will worry about, because he does not have that ability.

Although Xu Chen is now a personal disciple of Xuanwei and a Mr. Dushan Sect with a special status, Mr. is only Mr. after all, not Mr. Big nor Mr. Second, even if Mr. Big is not sure that he will be able to defeat General Ximen Wang, let alone Xu Chen.

Chu Tiancheng said calmly: "The imperial court and the old general Xu Shi have checked Xu Chen's details, and this king naturally went to check, looking at the past resume over the years, Xu Chen's personality is cold and ruthless, but he is smart and knows how to measure, he is very good at forbearance, and he will never attack rashly when he is not sure, and in the case of reaching an agreement between the Shan Sect and you, he will definitely continue to endure if he is not strong enough." ”

He patted Ximen Wang's shoulder and said comfortingly: "As long as the real outsiders in the Dushan Sect don't make a move, who in the capital can do anything to you?"

Ximen looked at the candle flame on the case, frowned slightly, and said, "Xijin has looked for me." ”

Chu Tiancheng's expression was slightly abrupt, and he looked into his eyes and said slowly: "You must understand that by snatching the Heavenly Book Ming Scroll, the imperial court is looking for a rare opportunity, and the Dushan Sect is willing to agree to your safe retreat, this kind of opportunity is fleeting, if you hesitate at this time, it is very unwise." ”

Ximen Wang was silent for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone in the world understands this, but there are many people who are absolutely unwilling to watch me leave the capital like this. ”

Chu Tiancheng thought about the news he had just received, his eyebrows couldn't help but slowly provoke, and he sighed and said: "You're right, Qinghe County is also here, those old things seem to smell something, and they want to come over to stir up the wind and rain, at this time, you and I will be patient for a few days for the time being." ”

"Including Your Majesty, no one in the imperial court will like those people from Qinghe County. ”

Ximen Wang said: "If necessary, before leaving, I can kill a few more people for the imperial court, of course, that is with the permission of His Majesty." ”

Chu Tiancheng thought of his imperial brother, who was completely different from the king in the history books, and a bitter smile appeared on his face, and said: "The law is in front, how can Your Majesty easily open this opening." ”

Ximen Wang said: "Then let those guys from Qinghe County live for a few more days, but if those guys still try to provoke the mood of the queen's mother, don't blame me for not caring about Tang Lu and making some ruthless moves." ”

Chu Tiancheng said: "That's natural, if those guys can't see the wind clearly, and don't understand the relationship between His Majesty and the queen, they are killing themselves." ”

Simon Wang said, "Then I will take my leave first." ”

Chu Tiancheng said: "Since the two sons returned to Beijing last year, they have been locked up in the general's mansion and do not interact with the courtiers, I know this must be what you mean, but now that you are back, why do you still detain the children so uncomfortable, you accompany me to the Red Sleeves to see the singing and dancing, and let them come over." ”

Ximen Wang said: "There are still things to do tomorrow, and after I finish it, I will come and drink with His Highness." ”

Chu Tiancheng's expression was slightly different, thinking that you have entered the palace today, what else do you have to do in the capital? The situation of the two Ximen Wanggongzi who have forbidden the general's mansion, you know very well that you should be silent and self-contained until Your Majesty's will comes down, and what will happen tomorrow that you are not afraid of breaking taboos?

Ximen Wang walked to the door of the study, stopped, and said, "I will ask Xu Chen to drink tomorrow." ”

Chu Tiancheng was slightly startled, looked at him and said, "What are you going to do?" You don't have to forget the identity of this son, of course he can't help you, but if you are not good for him, will the Dushan Sect remain silent?"

Ximen Wang said: "I dare to invite him to a glass of wine, but I want to see if he dares to come." ”

Because of the fight for the Book of Heaven in the wasteland, General Ximen Wang offended the Dushan Sect, which also made His Majesty more and more angry and dissatisfied, but this person commanded tens of thousands of iron horsemen, opening up territory for Chaoyang, and his strength was strong and he had military achievements, and it was extremely troublesome for the court to deal with it.

After Mr. Duishan Zongda personally went to Tuyang City to have an interview with Ximen Wang, General Ximen Wang, with an extremely strong mind, did not have any attachment to the stack, and accepted the proposal to relieve Jia and return to the old man.

This is the outcome that the Chaoyang Empire is most willing to see, and both the palace, the military and the courtiers are extremely satisfied, so they will give Ximen Wang the highest honor and treatment.

But there has never been any person or thing in the world that can satisfy everyone, there is still a demon sect under the light of Haotian, and there are still people who are not very respectful to Xuan Wei before the high mountain of the mountain sect.

Ximen Wang naturally couldn't do this.

Xu Chen was not satisfied with this ending, and the Western Jin Dynasty was not satisfied, he was bullied by Ximen Wang's iron cavalry for decades, and he had been silently waiting for the Chaoyang monarchs and ministers to lose harmony, and the monarchs and people of Yan Kingdom, who had become miserable and cooked dogs, were not satisfied, even in Chaoyang, there were some big forces who were extremely disappointed by this.

That force is the Qinghe County surnames mentioned by His Royal Highness the Prince.

The seven surnames of Qinghe County are actually the seven gate valves, with a long history, and even before the founding of Chaoyang, they have shocked the world, and they are the great priests of the Western Jin Dynasty, and there are several from these seven gates.

Thousands of years ago, Chaoyang was founded by iron horses, and the soldiers swept the world, and the Western Jin Dynasty Divine Army secretly ordered all countries to join forces to resist, but it still could not prevent the birth and rise of this super power, but in this case, Qinghe, which was still outside the southeast border of Chaoyang, was still under the strong protection of the seven major valves, and faced the coercion of the capital without humility or arrogance, and always maintained political and economic independence.

This continued more than a decade later.

Chaoyang's iron cavalry expeditioned north to the grassland, successively defeated the Snow Country tribe that made the Central Plains people talk about the tiger, and even finally succeeded in forcing the Snow Country people to leave the grassland and move to the cold region of the Far North, and the prestige of the capital was raised to an unprecedented and rare level in history, and the hearts of the people in the world gradually moved westward.

It was only at this time that the seven surnames of Qinghe County finally made up their minds to surrender.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, Chaoyang was in ruins, there were many annexed counties and states that needed to be digested, and the people needed to recuperate, and the surnames of Qinghe County were too prestigious in the world, so the Taizu who had been slaughtered because of a small village was slaughtered, he devoted all his strength to hunt down and kill a certain part of the grassland, and rarely adopted a gentle policy for Qinghe County, and established this matter as a national policy, which was recorded in the edict.

In the early years of the founding of Chaoyang, the Dushan Sect in the south of the capital had just been built, and the number of students enrolled was very small, and most of the officials selected by the imperial court were through the imperial examination.

In those years, the students of Qinghe County continued to enter the capital through the imperial examination, and nearly half of the scholars in each subject came from Qinghe County, and the officials above the court hall in the capital and the key positions in the temples of various departments were all controlled by the seven surnames of Qinghe County.

And because of the national policy determined in Emperor Taizu's edict, the Chaoyang royal family treated Qinghe County with great courtesy, often married, and even had three consecutive generations of queens from Qinghe County.

From time to time, some sages used to be worried, saying that if this goes on for a long time, I really don't know whether the Chaoyang is the Chaoyang surnamed Li, or the Chaoyang of the Qinghe, the clouds cover the sun, which is terrifying.

Facts have proved that the Chaoyang Empire, which conquered the world with a simple sword on horseback, really could not be conquered because of the matter of Wenzhi, and several successive emperors in the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China inherited the style of their ancestors, sitting in the dragon chair and ruling with their hands, but the hands in their sleeves firmly held the powerful military power.

Nearly 900 years ago, in the fourth year of Chaoyang Conghua, the emperor at that time was only fourteen years old, and under the pressure of his mother and courtiers, he was silent for four whole years, and also studied for four years.

Just when there were still two years before the pro-government, the young son of heaven, when his mother from the Qinghe Song surname tried to disobey the edict of the first emperor and let the Song scholar and leader of the army who was the uncle and first assistant, he did not hesitate to stretch out his still very thin hand from his sleeve.

That hand holds the power of the army, and the power of the army is a cold and merciless knife.

In the night, there was a light horse out of the imperial city, straight to the Song University Scholar's Mansion in the north city, the blood in the house flowed into a river, miserable, the second day of the court meeting, countless court officials wept blood and knocked on the que, and accused the Son of Heaven of being cruel and unkind.

The young Son of Heaven sat in the dragon chair, calmly or indifferently listened to the news from the palace gate, and then waved his hand a little tiredlyβ€”the meaning of waving his hand was not to show concession, because the young Son of Heaven did not issue an edict against himself, but directly used the court staff.

Outside the palace that day, one hundred and forty-eight court officials were struck to death by rods, and the blood stained their official uniforms red, and also stained the blue ground, which seemed to be a little darker than the color of the palace walls.

That night, the young son of heaven, under the escort of the guards and the Yulin army, came to the Dushan Sect on the southern outskirts of the capital.

I don't know what he said to anyone in the Dushan Sect that night, but the next day, with a will, the empress dowager who thought she was more ambitious than the queens from Qinghe County was imprisoned in the cold palace, and since then, no one has seen her again.

In the following period of time, the officials from Qinghe County in the counties and prefectures of Chaoyang either wrote letters asking for allegiance, or were arrested by the secret guards and taken back to Beijing to be imprisoned.

The turmoil in the court and the chaos in political affairs naturally caused serious damage to Chaoyang's national strength, but that young son of heaven, like the ancestors of the Li family, showed a strong will to destroy with the world at such a moment, and did not hesitate to continue to purge anyone who dared to oppose him.

After this incident, the essence accumulated by Qinghe County for decades was destroyed, and the strength of the seven surnames was seriously damaged, and more importantly, those proud and confident gate valves finally understood a truth.

No matter how dazzling their surnames are, no matter how long the family has a long history, as long as they dare to cross that line, in the eyes of the Li royal family, they are still just white rabbits under the butcher's knife.

The blood and heads of the clansmen made the people of Qinghe County, who were originally a little fluttering, wake up, especially in this chaos, no matter how they mobilized public opinion, they still could not get the sympathy of the people, and only aroused the disgust and spurning of the people, which shocked them even more.

In the years that followed, they found more shock.

The one who was selected to be sent to the capital as the queen must be the best and smartest woman of the Qinghe County surname, who has been educated for many years in the clan, but in addition to the Empress Dowager Song who was imprisoned in the Conghua period, the queens of all dynasties are famous for their virtuous and quiet in the palace of the capital, and they are extremely silent about court affairs, and they rarely speak for the surnames of Qinghe County.

No country can escape the law of history, the same is true of the invincible Chaoyang Empire, with the long-term peace and stability, as the war cannot continue endlessly, this old empire gradually ossified and decayed with the passage of time, but I don't know why, compared with the once glorious empires recorded in the history books of the princes of Qinghe County, the role of this historical law in Chaoyang is obviously much weaker, the empire's ossification and decay is very slow, whenever there is a big change happening, it seems that there is some kind of power in the dark, the chariot that is about to capsize is repaired, and then forcibly dragged back to the right path。

With the growing national power of Chaoyang, the majesty of the royal family has become more and more unshakable, and after many years of suppression, the people of Qinghe County have returned early, and the most important thing is that the Dushan Sect has quietly replaced part of the role of the imperial examination, and the surnames of Qinghe County are no longer the supreme glory of a thousand years ago, and the strength and authority are much weaker than at the beginning.

But after all, the surnames of Qinghe County are the family of thousands of generations, and the heritage is incomparable, with the sincere surrender, they changed their attitude towards the capital, and with the tacit consent of the royal family, the surnames gradually returned to the stage of the world.

Today's Qinghe County surnames still have a power to be reckoned with in the court, and there are many university scholars in the opposition, although they are still extremely far away from military power, but no one knows that in the depths of the secluded ancestral hall of these thousands of families, there will be a great cultivator who knows the fate realm.

So even today, being able to obtain Qinghe women is still the best ideal for many men, and the original wife of Zeng Jing, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, is the daughter of Qinghe Cui.

However, the surnames of Qinghe County, who once had infinite scenery in the world, once occupied most of the seats above the court, and had several Western Jin Dynasty gods, where would they be willing to accept the current situation?

Gate valve is a kind of cold existence, instinctively to grab more benefits, so although they dare not rebel, low-key seems to be about to be forgotten by the world, but in their bones are still extremely eager to have a higher status in the rising sun, more power, hundreds of years, Qinghe County has produced nine more queen mothers, this is the result of their efforts, and more than ten years ago, they tried to make Qinghe County have one more queen mother.

At that time, His Majesty the current emperor first ascended the throne, the queen mother unfortunately died, the eyes of the princes of Qinghe County were red, like vultures staring at carrion, they used all the strength of the court and the opposition, and sent the most outstanding and intelligent girl of the seven surnames into the palace, and then after some planning and spending a lot of money, finally let His Majesty meet this girl by chance, and then there was a heart-warming story.

However, the princes of Qinghe County worked hard to create that seemingly beautiful situation, but they didn't know that there was a big man named Old Monk before them, and he had already launched a similar plan.

The old monk won, and the Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect became the queen today.

The old monk was also defeated, because the queen fell in love and had already left the mission of the Demon Sect behind.

The princes of Qinghe County were even more defeated, not only did their hopes fail, but they also seriously offended the queen mother, which was equivalent to offending His Royal Highness the Prince and General Ximen Wang.

The only one who really won, His Majesty the Emperor.

Although the princes of Qinghe County lost a mess, they dared to design this matter, which also shows the strong strength and self-confidence of these families, you must know that the Zhong family, who is now incomparable in Yangguan City, is only the weakest of the seven surnames in Qinghe County.

For more than ten years, because of the offended the queen mother and other big figures in the capital, the surnames of Qinghe County became more and more low-key and silent, especially the old people in the clan who did not dare to enter Beijing.

As everyone knows, the Chaoyang Emperor and the Empress have a deep relationship, and the Empress still looks radiant, thinking that she will not die early if she is in excellent health, and the East Palace will naturally not have the opportunity to change hands to Qinghe County, but fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor also has a very favored princess.

Today's surnames in Qinghe County can't get the goodwill of the queen's mother, so naturally they don't hesitate to start supporting Her Royal Highness the princess.

In a quiet mansion in the south of the capital, there is an old man with a calm expression sitting in the study of the back house, this old man's surname is Song, he is worshiped in the Song clan, and he also has an official identity in the court.

Twenty years ago, this Song worshipper was the guest secretary of the Tianshu Office, but he knew very well that this guest secretary was more of a reward from the imperial court to the Song family of Qinghe County, so he never paid attention to the affairs of the Tianshu Office, and he never even entered the capital, but today he finally came.

General Ximen Wang is about to return to old age, and the power of the queen mother seems to have been seriously weakened, but in the eyes of the princes of Qinghe County, this move has successfully resolved all the contradictions accumulated in the past few decades, and they don't want to see Ximen Wang leave the capital with a smile like this.

Yushi Song Ke stood respectfully in front of the old man, and said with a bitter expression: "Three ancestors, the court has already made a decision, everyone knows His Majesty's intentions, how to persuade at this time, and there are not many colleagues who are willing to write with me. ”
