Chapter 1298 Wolf and Dog! (1)
Chapter 1298
Neither of these two people will appear easily!
Yao Guangyi didn't expect that the battle between Wang Chong and Li Junxian behind the Confucianism would attract them. And the eyes continued to sweep, from near to far, to supervise the censor, Qi Guogong, Zhao Guogong, Wei Guogong, Zhongshu Ling, Doctor Ziqing Guanglu... Looking around, far and near, I don’t know how many important officials of the dynasty have disappeared in Nearby restaurants, teahouses, and taverns.
Although no one spoke, there was no doubt that everyone was paying attention to this matter.
"Hiss!"
Even though he was mentally prepared, Yao Guangyi couldn't help but gasped. Originally, when he received the news, he thought that he was the highest-level official who arrived here, but now Yao Guangyi realized that he was wrong. This battle has long involved the entire ruling and opposition parties, and even the entire Tang Dynasty!
This is no longer a battle of ideas, but a battle of national destiny. This dispute is likely to determine the fate of the country for hundreds or thousands of years after the Tang Dynasty. Only this can explain why so many people appear here.
...
Not to mention the movement on the Guanghe Tower, on the other side, bang! On the other side, with a flash of light, just opposite the platform built by those craftsmen, a piece of white robes, like frost and snow, crossed the threshold like a stream of water.
"My lord, everything has been arranged!"
As soon as Li Junxian appeared, a Confucian disciple immediately appeared, leading Li Junxian to the top level.
The Confucianism Sect has been in business for thousands of years and is deeply rooted in Zhongtu. Although it is usually not visible, there are quite a few properties in this capital that belong to the Confucianism Sect.
"Um."
Li Junxian nodded calmly, walked up the wooden ladder, and quickly climbed to the tallest building. There, tea has been prepared long ago, a pot of jasmine, a white porcelain cup, and nothing else.
With a flick of his sleeves, Li Junxian quickly sat down at the table, raising his hands and feet with his own demeanor.
"Have you started yet?"
"Master Hui, judging from their progress, with one stick of incense left, it should be almost done."
An old man in gray clothes bowed in response. Judging from the ink mark on his wrist, it is obvious that he is another Confucianist.
Li Junxian nodded,
No more talking.
...
On the street, the sound of knocking ground stakes was endless, and a famous craftsman was busy, but in just over half an hour, the whole table was almost finished. Relying on Zhang Shouzhi's reputation as a master of civil engineering and the iron and steel family, Wang Chong has now gathered a large number of top craftsmen. With the ability, craftsmanship and efficiency of these people, one can imagine.
boom!
When the last corner was completed, in an instant, it was like a hurricane passing through, and the whole Qinglong Street was suddenly dead silent. The large crowd looked at the same place in a daze, but they didn't make any sound. And in restaurants everywhere, Li Junxian, Yao Wenyi, Grand Tutor Chen Yong, Crown Prince Shaobao Wang Zhongsi all looked over.
No one spoke, but everyone's expressions became extremely solemn at this moment.
...
"call!"
As the wind howled, a huge golden true dragon flag fluttered and danced on the edge of the palace. , but no one noticed that at the edge of the palace, on the high city wall, there was also a majestic figure at this moment.
"Hehe, what a scene of excitement! Hu Dequan, you said that the king of foreign lands set up a platform on Qinglong Street, what exactly do you want to do?"
The eldest prince wore a gown robe, stood on the city wall with his hands behind his back, and sat on the wall to watch. As the breeze blew, the eldest prince's hair at the sideburns, together with the robes all over his body, immediately fluttered and danced. Although he had the same position as Li Junxian and the Confucian sect behind him in the court, the eldest prince has always stood by and watched the fire from the sidelines in this battle of ideas.
Different from the affairs in the court, although the conflict between Wang Chong and Li Junxian had a far-reaching impact on the empire, it did not have any impact on the court or the status of the First Prince. On the contrary, as the future prince of the empire, the first prince is very happy to see this kind of ideological contention! Because this proves that everyone is working hard to serve the empire.
"His Royal Highness killed the old slave. How can the old slave dare to speculate about the affairs of the court!"
A voice came from the side. Beside the eldest prince, a tall but very weakened old eunuch in brocade clothes bowed and said. The old eunuch's eyes were sharp, like swords, but only the palms of his hands were often tucked into his sleeves. If you look closely, you will find that his hands are as black as ink, extremely black, and look very dangerous. powerful skills.
"hehe!"
The eldest prince just smiled, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and eunuchs are naturally not allowed to interfere in politics, but the eldest prince still trusts the old eunuch beside him. Because this old eunuch grew up with him, the eldest prince trusted him very much.
"here we go!"
Suddenly, the eldest prince looked at the front and said, a sentence instantly attracted the attention of everyone around him, including the old eunuch Hu Dequan, and everyone looked over.
The Imperial Palace is still some distance away from Qinglong Street, but with the high palace walls, the First Prince is condescending and can almost overlook most of the capital, let alone Qinglong Street. Although he couldn't see it very clearly, and he couldn't see clearly the civil and military ministers gathered in the surrounding restaurants and teahouses, but he could clearly see the high platform built by the King of Foreign Lands. Not to mention, there are countless scouts who can report back at any time.
"It's so lively, don't miss it!"
The eldest prince smiled inwardly.
...
"boom!"
The center of Qinglong Street has become the well-deserved center of the entire capital. Boom, there was only a loud noise, and under the hold of two armored soldiers, a huge cage, surrounded by thick green cloth curtains, fell heavily on the center of the high platform. At that moment, the earth trembled, and there was incomparable silence in all directions.
Whether it is the civil and military officials hiding in restaurants and tea shops, or the common people around, wealthy businessmen, all eyes are on this huge cage.
"What's this?"
In all directions, countless people in the capital stretched their necks, and even their eyes were about to pop out. Everyone wants to know what's in it.
"Is this the beginning?"
At the top of the restaurant, Li Junxian is holding a fine porcelain teacup, with a refined demeanor that is beyond the ordinary. Just glanced at the cage on the high platform opposite, Li Junxian quickly withdrew his gaze:
"Get ready, as long as they lift the veil, within three days, our people will be on the field at any time!"
"This subordinate understands! According to the young master's instructions, the animal trainer you want has been found, and you should be able to rush to the capital within two days to resolve this crisis."
The Confucian disciple responded.
Although the journey is far away, the Confucianism Sect has a special way to transport these people to the capital as quickly as possible.
Li Junxian nodded and stopped talking, but outside the railing, there were already new movements on the high platform.
Da da da!
In the eyes of countless people, an old-fashioned, unsmiling military man walked along the steps on the high platform and walked straight to the cage surrounded by cloth curtains on the high platform. And in his hand, he held a stick three or four feet long. At this time, holding this kind of thing in the hand, the intention is self-evident.
For a moment, all eyes were on everyone, and everyone held their breath and looked at the soldier.
"Shua!"
In the eyes of everyone, the three to four feet long stick suddenly lifted, and with a bang, it instantly raised the curtain on the surface of the cage. When the blue curtain flew up, time seemed to stand still. All the restaurants, all the teahouses, all the shops, and all the people looked under the curtain.
Of all the people, I am afraid that only Confucianism has known about it for a long time.
However, at the next moment, when the veil was lifted, something unexpected happened to everyone——
"Wow!"
Under the curtain, a childish dog barking suddenly came out.
"what's the situation?"
"Is there a dog in the cage?"
"What does the king of foreign lands want to do?"
...
Seeing the contents of the cage clearly, the eager crowd looked at each other with astonishment. For such a big battle, a stage was set up, cages were used, and soldiers were sent to protect it. In the end, no one thought that there was a fluffy, cute-looking dog about three or four months old inside.
The moment the curtain was lifted, the dog rushed to the side of the cage, stretched out its tongue, licked the iron fence of the cage, and barked enthusiastically at the crowd under the stands.
In an instant, the crowd was buzzing.
The foreign king's move this time is very powerful. Next to the high platform, there are two big flags, one is "foreign king" and the other is "might is truth". Everyone thought that the foreign king was going to make a huge battle this time to make everyone accept his point of view, but they never expected that there was a dog in the cage on the high platform.
This caught everyone off guard.
"What's going on? Shouldn't it be a wolf?"
In the nearest restaurant, several Confucian disciples who accompanied Li Junxian behind him were full of astonishment. Even Li Junxian couldn't help frowning slightly at this moment. Judging from what they got, Wang Chong obviously bought a wolf and sent it to the capital.
But what was bought was a wolf, but what appeared was a dog, which surprised the Confucianists.
At this moment, not only the Confucianism sect, but all the civil and military people who heard the news on the left and right sides of Qinglong Street frowned, puzzled. No one knows what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of the foreign land king!
"This guy's style of doing things... is really unconstrained, with an antelope hanging on its horns! It's impossible to guess!"
In Guanghe Tower, Yao Guangyi looked at the barking dog, feeling deeply moved.
Thinking about the Guanghe Tower incident back then, at that time, Yao Guangyi more or less thought it was a coincidence, after all, it is impossible for a half-grown kid to be so shrewd and able to ruin his plan. But looking back now, everything is clearly the result of careful calculation, and there is no trace of coincidence.
