Chapter 144 The Kong Family Returns to Court
In the same evening, at Tianfeng Ridge and Yunding Mountain, more than 500 miles northwest of the imperial palace, Li Xian had a strange expression on his face.
A few days ago, I felt that my cultivation base had reached the peak of the early stage of foundation building, but I was still unable to go any further; but just after eating and drinking tea, I suddenly felt an inexplicable throbbing, and then Li Xian was confused, In one fell swoop, enter the middle stage of foundation building!
Entering the middle stage of the foundation building period in such a muddle, Li Xian thought about it for a long time, and only got one answer - Anyang captured Luliang County! As the actual "dictator" and "centralized representative" of Anyang, he is combined with Anyang's fate.
Anyang's vision and tentacles have been broken through, and Li Xian's luck has naturally increased; with the increase in luck, Li Xian's cultivation base has also inexplicably broken through.
When the last rays of the setting sun fell in the western sky, Ge Zhengfeng looked up at the sky and was suddenly stunned.
"Senior Ge, what's the matter?" Ge Zhengfeng suddenly froze, which made Li Xian aware of the strangeness.
Ge Zhengfeng didn't answer, but he was obviously observing the starry sky; then he asked his attendants or disciples to get busy with some items that Li Xian couldn't understand.
After a long time, about half an hour later, Ge Zhengfeng suddenly sighed and sat down slowly.
Li Xian quickly brought a cup of tea.
Ge Zhengfeng didn't sneer at Li Xian this time, but frowned deeply, "The sky has changed, and the emperor star is shining."
"The emperor star is shining? Is the Great Xia Kingdom going to prosper?" Li Xian asked casually, as if he didn't take it to heart.
Ge Zhengfeng took the tea and drank it down, but he didn't answer: "Tell me, when will the candle flicker?"
Li Xian was stunned, and slowly spit out four words: "Candle in the wind!"
Ge Zhengfeng didn't speak anymore, but picked up his teacup and was in a daze.
Li Xian sat beside him quietly, no one said a word as the mountain wind howled. It's just that Li Xian's heart is not very peaceful. A high-ranking emperor, an emperor who practiced the world, just like that... is going to die.
Suddenly Ge Zhengfeng spoke, "It is said, it is only said that the emperor's practice is based on the country, so the country is strong, the emperor's cultivation level will rise steadily. And if the country is weak, the increased cultivation level, of course It won't fall back, but there will be a situation where the five declines of heaven and man will occur!
Therefore, when some emperors saw the decline of the country, they would give up the throne to the prince and free themselves.
Of course, I'm not the emperor, and I don't know exactly what's going on; but I don't think it's groundless. "
Li Xian didn't speak at the side, just listened quietly like this, but there was already a storm in his heart-is this the price the emperor has to pay? Enjoying endless glory and wealth, but must bear the crisis that others can't imagine.
To bear the crisis of the five declines of heaven and man, and may never be able to ascend, and to bear all the sins of a country...
Ge Zhengfeng waited for a while, and then continued, "Just now I used a unique method of astrology, a magical method called 'stargazing' to observe the stars in the sky, do you know what I saw?"
Li Xian knew that this was just Ge Zhengfeng talking to himself, he didn't need to answer, just wait quietly. So Li Xian just poured tea for Senior Ge very honestly.
Ge Zhengfeng stared blankly at Li Xian pouring the tea, let out a long breath, and continued: "The scene I saw just now surprised me greatly, that is, the Ziwei star is constantly flickering, and every time it flickers, the light Get weaker.
And the Big Dipper around Ziwei star is actually seven stars with the same brilliance! The light of the seven stars actually covered up the light of the Ziwei star! "
Li Xian is a good student, so he asked if he didn't understand, "Seven stars are shining together, does it mean that there will be seven separatist regimes in the Great Xia Kingdom?"
"No, astrology is divided into individual and collective parts.
From a collective point of view, the Ziwei star represents the emperor, and the Big Dipper represents the high level of national power; it is all high levels. It is generally believed that it includes ministers and generals with real power, local governors, governors, governors, and so on.
The seven stars are shining together, which is a typical example of the weak and the strong, and it is a sign of the country's decline and imminent split. As for how many forces will appear and who they represent, there is no way to observe them.
This kind of observation can only represent a development direction, a trend, nothing more; since it is a trend, it can naturally be changed.
For example, Cai Guo in the north also had such astrology; but Yan Ze'an single-handedly supported Cai Guo on the road to rejuvenation and reversed the astrology by himself. "
"Yan Ze'an?! Does he have such ability?" Li Xian was really shocked.
"have!"
Li Xian was elated, and suddenly looked at Ge Zhengfeng, "Senior, are you interested in coming to Anyang to rest?"
Ge Zhengfeng got up and left, "Let's build the imperial tomb first, speed up."
Li Xian looked at Ge Zhengfeng's back and muttered: "Old Youtiao! Without a clear answer, he hung him in mid-air. But hum, you can't escape the palm of my young master!"
With nothing to do, Li Xian went on to "leisurely lying on the mountainside, lazily dressed in small clothes".
Li Xian is leisurely here, but the imperial capital is lively. There had been a lot of noise in the court hall, and the emperor had become weaker and weaker. He looked like a woodcarving carved from a piece of rotten wood. Perhaps, Zhongshan County's sudden rebellion consumed the little remaining luck in the Great Xia Kingdom, so that the emperor's five declines became more and more serious.
But Zhongshan County was rebellious, but the court couldn't come up with a solution, because the imperial capital had no army to use! As for dispatching troops to various places, many ministers objected—what if the army came and attacked the imperial capital instead of Zhongshan County?
Don't say it, it's really possible! This statement made many people feel at a loss; even Li Yulong was helpless in such a situation! It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.
At this moment, the prince, the second prince Xia Shu, said, "Father, Nanyang County has been wanting to return to the imperial capital and serve the Great Xia Kingdom recently. Why not let Nanyang County attack from the south, so that Nanyang's army does not need Enter the imperial capital.
In addition, Nanyang County expressed that it is willing to give another 100,000 taels of gold to accompany the imperial tomb as a show of loyalty. "
His Majesty the Emperor had long since given up hope for the Great Xia Kingdom, and immediately agreed. It just so happened that there was a vacancy for the prime minister of the Great Xia Kingdom, so Kong Xiang was allowed to return to the imperial capital and take up the post of prime minister. There was no disturbance in this process.
If the Kong family wanted to return to the imperial capital, it would only make the current Great Xia Kingdom more complicated and chaotic; Li Yulong returned to the Li Mansion with worries. As soon as he entered Li's mansion, Yang Zhong greeted him, "Master, there are letters from Anyang. They were sent by several peak masters of the Foundation Establishment Period, using the wind escape technique along the way. It seems very urgent."
"Let me take a look!" Li Yulong opened the letter and read it at a glance; after reading it, Li Yulong smiled, and things became more and more interesting!
But why? Of course it was Zhao Guoshan, the governor of Luliang County who was captured! First of all, Zhao Guoshan itself is a bargaining chip for Li Xian. Secondly, the information Zhao Guoshan confided made Li Yulong laugh, and also solved a question in Li Yulong's mind.
The reason why Zhongshan County dared to rebel was to contact Luliang County; but now Luliang County is under the control of Anyang. As of the time of Zhongshan County's rebellion, Zhongshan County did not know the situation of Luliang County, and was still waiting for Luliang County. Support too!
But the situation is not very optimistic. Once Zhongshan County gets the news, it will only attack Anyang even more frantically and open up a channel with Cai Guo!
It is another troublesome thing for the Kong family to return to the imperial capital!
Wait, maybe you can do this, drive away the wolves, maybe you can unite with the Kong family! In politics, there are never absolute enemies!
The crown prince wins over the Kong family, and wants the Kong family and the Yuan family to join forces to drive Li Yulong out of the imperial capital!
Li Yulong was thinking of joining forces with the Kong family at this moment.
Who is more skilled?
