Chapter 1805: Ancient Taibai of the Great Saint Sect (Part 1)!
The first thousand and eight hundred and five chapters of the great holy sect Gu Taibai (on)!
"It seems that the Holy Emperor has made up his mind, and there is no choice at all."
Wang Chong secretly said in his heart.
Fame and fortune have never been Wang Chong's concern. Even if the Holy Emperor takes everything he has given, Wang Chong will not have any disturbances in his heart, but Wang Chong has to think about those and follow his subordinates all the way.
The most important thing is that even if Li Junxian is deposed, all the Confucian officials who are currently staying in the court are cleared out, and the peace agreement with each Huang is terminated, it will eventually treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Because of this way of handling, the strength of the Confucianism sect must not be completely eradicated.
More importantly, the Holy Emperor did not deny Confucianism and their strategy.
The battle between soldiers and Confucians has been going on for so long, and the impact has been very far-reaching. If a winner cannot be decided and a conclusion can be drawn, the same situation will happen again in the future, and Confucianism will also make a comeback, and the arrival time may be sooner than imagined. is much faster.
The empire has just experienced civil strife, and it can no longer withstand more internal shocks. If there is another war between soldiers and Confucians, Wang Chong can't imagine what the empire will be like.
These thoughts flew through his mind, and the next moment, Wang Chong quickly had an idea.
"The humble minister obeys the order!"
"My minister has no objection!"
Almost at the same time, two voices rang out in front of the Tai Chi Hall.
Hearing Li Junxian's voice, a trace of imperceptible astonishment flashed across Wang Chong's face, but only for a moment, Wang Chong calmed down. At the same time, the majestic and majestic voice of the Holy Emperor came from my ears:
"Very well, after ten days, I will order Fifth Prince Li Heng, Prime Minister Li Linfu, Grand Master, and Grand Tutor to preside over this duel between you! It will also completely draw an end to this battle between soldiers and Confucians!"
The lingering sound of that majestic and majestic voice echoed in the sky. The aura of the Holy Emperor quickly disappeared from the perception of the two of them.
After the Holy Emperor, Wang Chong also left soon. Only Li Junxian took a deep look at the direction Wang Chong was leaving, and then walked down the steps, leaving the Tai Chi Hall, and heading to another place.
"What?"
In Shaozhang's counselor's mansion, all the Confucian sect elders gathered together. Besides Song Lao, many other Confucian sect elders also rushed over.
"To decide the outcome by force, why did you agree!"
"Then Wang Chong is a martial arts prodigy. Judging from the information we have collected, he may have reached the Refinement Realm, and the military people advocate force. In this regard, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to beat them!"
Hearing that in front of the Taiji Hall, Li Junxian promised the Holy Emperor to have a showdown in the capital training field, everyone felt a great shock. This result was unexpected by everyone. For a while, the atmosphere in the hall was extremely dignified.
"We have no choice, and the Holy Emperor has not given us a choice!"
Li Junxian said in a deep voice, but his expression was unexpectedly calm:
"We have spent several generations of energy, one after another, and finally waited for this opportunity of great harmony in the world. Once the Holy Emperor orders to abolish the peace agreement with various deserts, our previous efforts will be wasted. No matter what, I can't back down!"
Hearing Li Junxian's words, everyone in the hall fell silent. Indeed, this price is unaffordable for everyone.
"And as we all know, the Holy Emperor followed Taizong's example and actively expanded the border.
The Tang Dynasty suppressed the surrounding countries, and only then did it achieve today's prosperity and strength. Allowing His Majesty to stay out of the matter and leave the victory or defeat of the Confucianism Controversy in the hands of me and Wang Chong is already the biggest concession we have won for us! "
Li Junxian was silent for a moment, then continued.
"But son, once we fail, we simply cannot afford such a price."
On the side, Sword Demon said, his brows were full of worry. He had fought Wang Chong before, and he knew the strength of the other party. Although the young master inherited the position of the leader of the Confucian sect and the Holy Sword of Grand Virtue, he might not be able to defeat Wang Chong.
"The cultivation of the king of foreign lands is indeed very high, but this duel is not necessarily impossible for us to win!"
Li Junxian said suddenly, and when he spoke, an astonishing light flashed across his eyes.
"Young master?"
In the hall, everyone was stunned. This duel is of great importance, and no one knows why Li Junxian suddenly has such great confidence.
"Brother, do you want to..."
Only the girl in white at the side looked worried, as if thinking of something.
"Well! This battle is related to the rise and fall and success of the entire Confucian sect, and it's time to invite 'that thing'."
As Li Junxian said, he nodded solemnly, and a subtle look flashed in his eyes.
...
On the other side, when Wang Chong returned to the mansion, Xu Keyi, Su Shixuan, Zhang Que, Lao Ying, Guo Ziyi, Li Siye, everyone heard the news, and even Xu Qiqin arrived at Wang Chong's mansion.
"Very good!"
Unlike the Shaozhang Counselor's Mansion, when they heard what happened in front of the Tai Chi Hall, everyone was stunned at first, and then cheered one by one, extremely excited.
"My lord, the Holy Emperor has already spoken, my lord must not let those Confucian bastards go, and must teach them a lesson."
"That's right! These bastards are too much, the prince must not hold back when the time comes."
"It's also time to sweep out the Confucianism sect."
...
For this moment, everyone has waited too long. This is definitely the best news that everyone has heard during this period of time.
"It's not that simple!"
At this moment, a warm and crisp voice suddenly rang out in everyone's ears. Xu Qiqin had a graceful figure and was wearing a white gauze dress. She looked elegant and refined, like a fairy falling from the heavens. Dai Mei frowned deeply at this time, with a look of preoccupation.
"Shua!"
Hearing these words, the hall was instantly silent, and everyone's eyes turned to Xu Qiqin.
"Miss Xu, is there any change in this duel?"
Zhang Que asked. Everyone has been with Xu Qiqin for a while, especially the Battle of Talas and the Rebellion of the Three Kings, allowing everyone to see the tenacity, perseverance and wisdom of this girl from the Xu family. Although Xu Qiqin's martial arts is not high, everyone's respect for her is probably second only to Wang Chong.
"Wang Chong, I remember you said that shortly after the Holy Emperor announced that decision, Li Junxian didn't think about it for a long time, and almost agreed very quickly, even a few minutes earlier than you. Don't you think about this matter?" Do you find it a bit strange?"
"Ten days later, your duel will be of great importance. The entire Confucian sect's planning and waiting for nearly a thousand years is determined by this battle. The Confucian sect has no way out, and neither does Li Junxian. It is impossible for him to do things that are not sure. "
Xu Qiqin said, but a pair of beautiful eyes passed through the crowd and landed on Wang Chong opposite.
For a moment, everyone around was silent and frowned.
"That's right, with the perseverance and determination shown by the Confucian sect, without certainty, it is indeed impossible for them to easily agree to this duel."
"That's what worries me too."
Wang Chong said. Unlike others, Wang Chong was not as relaxed as he imagined from the beginning to the end.
"Qiqin, do you have any thoughts?"
"It's hard to say. Confucianism has existed for thousands of years. It can take root and leave traces in one dynasty after another. There must be something special about it. I have a feeling that Li Junxian dared to agree to a duel with you so quickly. There is something that we don't know about, and no matter what, it must not be careless on the day of the game."
Xu Qiqin said solemnly:
"During this time, I will try my best to use the strength of my family to investigate the clues of Confucianism and give you an answer as soon as possible."
"Zhang Que, you go to the Palace of the Song Dynasty and find the great scholar Lu Tingzhi. Together with Qiqin, you can investigate the details of the Confucian sect as much as possible."
Wang Chong nodded, and also glanced at Zhang Que next to him.
In the Rebellion of the Three Kings, Wang Chong was able to forge Zhang Zheng's letters, deceive the East Palace and Hou Junji, and cause them to launch a mutiny in advance. Seal script, all have good attainments, with his help, it will be much more convenient.
"yes!"
Zhang Que hurriedly bowed and saluted, with a respectful expression on his face.
"Report!"
It was too late to say it, but when everyone in the hall was still discussing the duel between the Confucian sect ten days later, suddenly, a Jinwu guard hurried in with a long halberd in his hand.
"My lord, I just received an urgent report from Talas, please take a look at it!"
"!!!"
In a word, the faces of everyone in the hall changed instantly. To the west of Congling Ridge, Talas is the last gateway on the western side of the empire, and it is also an important pass for the empire to monitor the movement of Dashi. More importantly, when Wang Chong and Gao Xianzhi left, they had already set the rules.
Talas usually does not need to contact the inland and the imperial court. All the taxes and taxes of Talas can be withheld for their own use. In fact, if Wang Chong hadn't fought for it, the court would have given up Talas long ago. But despite this, Wang Chong and Gao Xianzhi also gave Talas an important task. Talas must report to the Central Plains when a major change occurs in the Dashi.
——This is the first time Taros has sent a message in the form of an urgent report!
In an instant, the atmosphere in the hall was extremely solemn.
"bring here!"
These thoughts flew through his mind, Wang Chong came back to his senses, and quickly waved at the Jinwu Guard.
The letter was sent by Yang Hongchang, and there were only a few lines in it.
"The big food has changed, the soldiers and horses have changed, and in addition, the great sage of the big food empire, Gu Taibai, has left the customs! Please be careful, my lord!"
Although Yang Hongchang's content was short, but seeing the content on the letter paper, everyone felt a pressure rushing towards their faces. For a long time, no one in the hall spoke.
"My lord, it seems that Da Shi is not dead-hearted, and is going to covet our Datang again!"
Li Siye, who had never spoken much, suddenly spoke. His eyes were sharp, and there was a steel-like will in his eyes. Following Wang Chong's expeditions to the north and south, Li Siye faced all kinds of powerful opponents, but among all opponents, Dashi was undoubtedly the most powerful among them, and at the same time, he was also the most threatening existence to Datang.
"It's still too early to say this, at least for now, Dashi hasn't launched an attack yet."
With the letter paper in his hand, Wang Chong said solemnly.
"Pass my order to copy three parts of this letter and submit them to the Holy Emperor, the imperial court and the Ministry of War respectively. In addition, I ordered Yang Hongchang to closely monitor the movement of Dashi."
"Also, that Great Saint Zong Gu Taibai, I need all his information!"
"yes!"
