Chapter 1258: Yang Zhao Visits!
Chapter 1258
"when!"
At this moment, a chime suddenly sounded from outside the Zuiyue Building, and at the same time, there was cheering from the crowd on the street. It was finally time to commemorate the Buddha's birthday.
"My lord, it's time to commemorate the death of the saints!"
At this time, a figure stepped forward and said in a low voice, it was the white-clothed scholar "Li Junshan" who had previously replaced Li Junxian and appeared in Chai Fei.
Li Junxian blinked his eyes, took a breath, and turned around quickly.
Someone beside me had already handed over a page of prayers written in vermilion lacquer:
"Heaven and earth are of the same force, all things are of the same heart, and all masters and saints are above:
We, Li Junxian (Li Zhoushan\/Zhang Songjin...), among the descendants of Confucianism, are bound to inherit the great wish of the hundred sages, and work together to realize the long-cherished wish of the hundreds of sages to achieve the great unity of the world and the unity of the four seas, so as to eliminate the disaster of war in the world , Eternal indisputable. The road is difficult, and many sacrifices must be made. As long as the common people are lucky, they will no longer be shattered, and they will not hesitate!
This oath can be proved by heaven and earth, and ghosts and gods can learn from each other! "
...
A group of people, headed by Li Junxian in white clothes like snow, held up their wine glasses one by one, with solemn expressions and great determination in their eyes.
And that loud voice also resounded throughout the restaurant, but under the action of an invisible force, the sound was always confined to the restaurant, even the waiter on the first floor and the shopkeeper behind the counter, He also looked lazy, as if he couldn't hear anything, as if this place was really another world isolated from the rest of the world.
"All Saints!"
"All Saints!"
After the prayer was finished, Li Junxian raised his glass high and drank it down first. Immediately afterwards, everyone in the building showed a certain determination, and they also faced the void and drank it all in one gulp.
"My lord, do you need me?"
When the ceremony was over, a voice came from behind. It was the sword-dancing man in black with a white mask without eyebrows, beard, and mouth. The simple long sword with a handle was raised obliquely. At the same time, all eyes in the room were focused on Li Junxian.
The atmosphere is solemn!
All saints are destroyed,
This is the last ceremony!
"No need!"
Li Junxian was silent for a moment, shook his head, and stretched his right hand obliquely to take the long sword from the black-clothed sword-dancing man. Heck, without the slightest hesitation, the black hairband tied on top of Li Junxian's head immediately snapped and split into two pieces. The moment the black hairband fell down, it seemed to be extremely heavy!
Broken hair is like a severed head!
Once you start, you can never turn back!
"Let's go!"
Li Junxian looked dignified, and with his snow-white feet, he walked out of Zuiyue Tower first, followed by everyone.
...
Wang's mansion is heavily guarded.
At this moment, in the study, Wang Chong sat still, closing his eyes and meditating. And in front of him, there is a slightly old "Map of the Continent", which was brought out by Daqin Ruozan from Uzang, and it is the only and most cherished world map in this world. At this moment, on the map, the locations representing Uzang, Xingjue, Western Turkic, Goguryeo Empire, Xi, Khitan, and Western Dashi were all marked by sunspots by Wang Chong. Three small red triangular flags were also planted in Uzang and Youzhou in the northwest.
"Internal and external troubles..."
After a long time, Wang Chong opened his eyes and sighed deeply in his heart.
In this wave of great changes in the court, Wang Chong has to face not only Li Junxian and the mysterious Confucian sect led by him, but also many enemies in various borders of the Tang Dynasty. Although Datang won the Battle of Talas and the Battle of Khorasan, the price paid was definitely not small. It was not easy for Datang to obtain today's situation, but a civil strife destroyed everything at once.
Wang Chong could even imagine the Great Lunqin Mausoleum of Uszang, Sabolo Khan of Western Turks, Du Wusili who fled back, Yuan Gaisuwen of the Goguryeo Empire, and Mutasim III of Dashi. , must be overjoyed with a smile on his face at this moment, and even contributed to it. Taking advantage of the war between soldiers and Confucians, the Tang Dynasty was further torn apart.
However, what worries Wang Chong is far more than that. Looking over the Beiting Dufu Mansion and looking at the Turkic prairie in the north, no one knows better than Wang Chong that a small ice age that has been rare for hundreds or even thousands of years will come again. Before long, it will sweep down from the north.
The Khorasan blizzard last year, which froze hundreds of thousands of people to death, pales in comparison. In the face of this unprecedented freezing weather, all the nomads in the north of Middle-earth will have to unite and go south together to jointly launch an attack on Datang.
And in the future, that huge army of alien invaders who would not die even if their vitals were injured would also descend from the sky, bringing this world to its true death.
There is so little time left for myself.
Swish!
Wang Chong picked up the pen on the pen stand, grabbed a few pieces of rice paper, pressed it with a paperweight, and started writing on the rice paper after a moment of silence. One stick of incense, two sticks of incense, half an hour, one hour... For more than two hours, Wang Chong stayed in the study, writing furiously.
Countless thoughts flooded into Wang Chong's mind one after another. Using what he had learned in his life, he devised strategies to change the lifeline and development of this world as much as possible.
"Boom boom boom!"
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door from outside.
"My lord, I have something to report!"
The voice of the eagle can be heard clearly.
"come in."
Wang Chong quickly raised his head and said.
With a creak, the door opened, and the eagle, dressed in black and dusty, walked in from the outside.
"My lord, something has happened. Our people have been monitoring the building since we left Zuiyue Tower, but just now our subordinates got the news that the young man named Li Junxian and those Confucian scholars have all disappeared."
The eagle bowed down in front of Wang Chong, with deep guilt in his eyes. It was understandable to lose the target the first time, but this time, it still failed.
"do not mind!"
The eagle originally thought that Wang Chong would at least say a few words of blame, but unexpectedly, Wang Chong's expression was calm and extremely calm, as if he had already expected this situation.
"That Li Junxian is much stronger than you, and it's reasonable that you can't find him."
Wang Chong said calmly. No one can follow an imperial general, and the Li Junxian who appeared in the Zuiyue Tower is just a strong man at the level of an imperial general, and he is no less than his own top existence. If such a person has the heart, the eagle will send all It is also impossible to find him by hand. What really interested Wang Chong was another thing:
"You just said that those Confucian scholars have also disappeared. What's going on? Li Junxian is not easy to follow, but those Confucian scholars should be much less difficult."
"Our people were able to track them at first, but soon, we discovered that they all left the capital after leaving the Zuiyue Tower, and during our tracking process, there was obviously another force interfering, not appearing halfway A large number of identical carriages is a large crowd of people, and even a few of our spies were directly knocked out by the opponent."
Eagle said sincerely.
If the other party stayed in the capital, Eagle was still confident that he could track them down, but if they left the capital, the land of Kyushu was so vast that even Eagle would not be able to catch them, not to mention that the other party was already prepared.
Hearing this, Wang Chong frowned, but he quickly let go:
"Let them go. Now that they have revealed their faces, it is impossible to hide them. No matter how long they disappear, they will eventually reveal themselves."
"Subordinates understand!"
The eagle immediately lowered his head.
"correct!"
Wang Chong picked up a few envelopes on the table and passed them across the table:
"These six letters have all been sealed, and you send them all according to the address above. This matter must be very secret, even Xu Keyi and the others cannot know it, understand?"
Eagle was slightly startled. He had been with Wang Chong for a long time. It was rare to see Wang Chong speak in such a solemn tone. Even Xu Keyi and the others didn't know about it.
"Yes, my lord."
Eagle didn't ask much, took the envelope, quickly stepped out of the study, and disappeared outside.
...
After the eagle left, just a moment later, a servant of the royal family hurried in:
"Young Master, the Minister of the Imperial Palace outside, Mr. Yang Zhao Yang, please see me!"
"oh?"
Wang Chong was originally meditating with his eyes closed, but when he heard this sentence, he suddenly opened his eyes. There was a strange look in his eyes:
"Tell him, wait a moment, I'll be right there."
Since the last farewell, Wang Chong hasn't seen his "righteous brother" for a long time. Although the first time he showed up was in a gambling house, and he was not clothed, even Wang Chong had to Let out admiration, my "yi brother" is really good in terms of official career, in terms of the speed of promotion, Tai Fuqing, this is a senior financial officer next to the Holy Emperor, and even the household department has to be affected by it. control. It can be said that the economic lifeline of the entire empire is in his hands, and he is an important minister who is directly responsible to the Holy Emperor in terms of finances. When Wang Chong went to the court last time, he heard that Yang Zhao had taken the position of Tai Fuqing, but at that time, Yang Zhao was not in the court at all, and Wang Chong only vaguely knew that he seemed to be sent to do something .
Wang Chong also did not expect that Yang Zhao would take the initiative to visit him at this time.
In the living room of the Wang family, Wang Chong saw Yang Zhao who was paying a special visit. I haven't seen him for nearly a year, and the Yang Zhao in front of him is completely different from before. He is wearing a red official robe, a black plain hat, and a goldfish charm around his waist. There is an extra air of a high-ranking official.
However, although he sat on the position of Tai Fuqing and was favored by the Holy Emperor because of Tai Zhenfei, the current Yang Zhao obviously did not have that unrestrained attitude, but seemed preoccupied and restless.
"Ah! Wang Chong, finally saw you!"
Seeing Wang Chong, who was wearing plain clothes and walking towards here just across the threshold, Yang Zhao's eyes brightened immediately, and his face was full of surprise, as if he had been rescued. Although Wang Chong is now officially named the king of a foreign land, an extremely human minister, and the first king with a different surname in the Tang Dynasty, when Yang Zhao opened his mouth, he still called Wang Chong by his real name.
