Chapter 825 Wrist
Only three days later, Beichen Yuqing and Yuan Yong returned to the fleet, and the fleet continued south. But there was an uproar at the Yaozu.
At first, King Lei interrupted the secret fight among the demons and suppressed the storm for a while, but after Beichen Yuqing and his party left, the demon clan still fought secretly. This is Yangmou, even if it is clearly stated, there will still be secret fighting within the Yaozu.
The meaning of the Shang Dynasty is very clear, we only train a group of personnel. The number? It's one thousand. There is no limit to the cultivation base, but it can be regarded as a relatively kind part.
Of course, for more specific conditions, Yaosheng Island should send envoys to the Shang Dynasty to communicate. Beichen Yuqing's mission is to demonstrate and deliver messages, nothing more; demonstrations are more important.
The fleet rolled south, pushing the waves to spread to the horizon.
Beichen Yuqing took the chart and proofread it through satellite communication. "Let's use Qiyao Shenting as a breakthrough point. With the help of Senior Xiao Xuan's relationship, I think we can get a good reception in Qiyao Shenting."
"Not bad!" Yuan Yong also agreed.
At this moment, Beichen Yuqing's psychic treasure mirror rang again, and as soon as it was connected, there was a loud roar from the other side: "I am not alone, this time you go to Qiyao Shenting, remember to search for Senior Xiao Xuan It would be the best if you can find hair and the like. Remember, as long as you complete this task, Xiao Xuan will personally guide you to practice for a month.
That's it. Snapped……"
"Inexplicable!" Beichen Yuqing was stunned by Wu Bugu's call, but thinking of the reward, Beichen Yuqing decided that adults should not remember the small mistakes, and just reluctantly... try your best to complete the task.
…………
What is the highest state of a villain?
If someone had asked Huang Xing and Qian Sen this way in the past, they would have said: despicable and obscene, they will do everything they can.
But with only a few words, Jun Xian completely reversed Huang Xing and Qian Sen's thoughts.
The highest state of a villain is - a gentleman! Yes, you read that right, the highest state of a villain is to be a villain and become a gentleman, to be chivalrous, to be brave, to serve the country and the people, and to forget that one is a villain. But you must remember that you have a knife in your waist and a bottle of poison in your arms.
Huang Xing far surpassed Qian Sen in this aspect, so right now Huang Xing is carrying out a new mission.
It is said that ever since Wu Ying, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, began to play tricks and failed to pass the document to bestow Jiuxi, the two sides have been in a stalemate for almost a month.
During this period, the new emperor Dongfang Jue seized the opportunity and began to gather his strength again; some passionate and righteous officials began to raise their heads, and the court gradually began to split.
In this way, the officials on Junxian's side are a little worried: this situation cannot continue, and once the Qiyao Shenting royal family regains its past glory, Junxian will be in danger.
So, in this case, Junxian made a move. But to be precise, Junxian came up with a strategy, and Huang Xing was the one who actually did it.
And the person chosen by Jun Xian and Huang Xing, that is, the breakthrough point, is Wu Zhifei, the second son of Wu Ying, Minister of Rites!
Although this Wu Zhifei was born in a scholarly family, he is a little helpless. It can't be blamed entirely on Wu Zhifei himself, born in such a family, there is a lot of pressure, there are too many younger generations who cannot bear the glory of the family and are crushed by the pressure.
Wu Zhifei's cultivation aptitude is not very good, he failed in both cultivation and study, and he is born of a concubine, so one can imagine his status in the family. Even the servants squinted at Wu Zhifei.
Although this Wu family is a scholarly family, the more scholarly the family, the stricter the hierarchy. And in the big family, there are always some not-so-glamorous things in it.
In short, the current Wu Zhifei can drink and fight, and his cultivation and literary accomplishment are barely better than ordinary people, but the resentment and anger in his heart are even greater than the current Dongfang Jue.
And just last month, Wu Ying grounded Wu Zhifei, not to mention, she also pointed to a marriage. This marriage made Wu Zhifei even more annoyed, his hair turned green!
The person who was accused of marriage was Su Xiaomei, the daughter of the head of the Su family, a wealthy family from the Donghua Temple on the west side of Qiyao Temple.
This Su Xiaomei is not ordinary, she remarried twice, her reputation is not very good. But the person is very coquettish, and she is the daughter of the patriarch of a big family, and her status is not ordinary.
If it was an ordinary person with ambitions but no bottom line, maybe Su Xiaomei would be a good match - with rich political interests. But for Wu Zhifei, hearing this news, even his soul turned green!
Is it tolerable or unbearable...
If you want to say whether Wu Ying's arrangement is wrong, it's true! In such an environment as Xianyu, seeing the sky of Qiyao Shenting is crumbling, it is very cost-effective for Wu Ying to sacrifice a useless son to gain the future of Donghua Shenting. From the perspective of the collective interests of the family.
For big families, the overall interests of the family are above all else. Even if Wu Zhifei was not happy, he had to make concessions for the interests of the family.
But deep down, Wu Zhifei couldn't accept it!
Wu Zhifei can already imagine what the future will look like: the Wu family left Qiyao Shenting in embarrassment, relying on the Su family for survival; so Wu Zhifei can only live by watching Su Xiaomei's winks. It can't be said that Su Xiaomei meets her lover in the house, and she still has to stand guard outside!
Such a situation has not happened before! In fact, such situations are not uncommon in aristocratic families!
Originally, Wu Ying arranged this matter seamlessly, and the outside world didn't even know about it. However, Wu Zhifei himself did not live up to it, went out to drink with others, and came to complain, which fulfilled the principle of "telling the truth after drinking".
As a result, Junxian had already subdued many Jianghu people, and this word quickly reached Junxian's ears.
Then things became interesting. Under Junxian's instruction, Huang Xing approached Wu Zhifei as a 'down and out gentleman', and obtained Wu Zhifei's approval.
Today, the two met again for a drink. After drinking for three rounds, people became a little confused, Huang Xing said casually: "Hey, there have been drastic changes in the court recently, do you know that the most dangerous thing now is your Wu family."
"Lie! Our Wu family has gone through too many storms. Even if we want to, we won't be able to fall!" Wu Zhifei said a little decadently. Wu Zhifei understands the background of the Wu family too well; moreover, most of the disciples of the aristocratic family have a sense of family responsibility, and Wu Zhifei is no exception.
Huang Xing was also 'drunk-eyed', "Let me tell you, the biggest crisis of the Wu family is not the current Yushicheng and Zhongshu Lingjunxian, but the new emperor Dongfang Jue."
"Oh...hehe...Okay, tell me, why does it have something to do with Dongfang Jue!"
"Two considerations.
First, the Wu family is now the first and only front against Jun Xian. Obviously, Dongfang Jue will use the Wu family as a sword to collide with Junxian.
You don't know how powerful Junxian is now. You said, if your Wu family and Junxian were to die, would the finally broken Wu family continue to maintain its glory?
Regardless of whether Dongfang Jue wins or Junxian wins in the end, the Wu family will be in danger!
Second, how much influence the Wu family has on Qiyao Shenting, I don't need to talk about it as an outsider. Mr. Wu, think about it, if you were Dongfang Jue, would you allow such a family to exist? At that time, it must be the cunning rabbit and the lackeys cooking, and the birds are hiding!
What's more, the current environment of Qiyao Shenting is doomed. As long as Dongfang Jue gains power, he will inevitably massacre the aristocratic family. Needless to say, Dongfang Jue is ruthless. He can strangle his brothers and sisters to death with his own hands. Do you think he will be merciful to outsiders?
So my judgment is that the current Wu family has become a bean between Junxian and Dongfangjue, and will be ground into tofu sooner or later! If this continues, no matter who gains power in the future, the Wu family will not be allowed to continue to exist. "
Wu Zhifei raised his head suddenly, half of the drunkenness in his eyes disappeared, and after just a little thought, Wu Zhifei came to a positive conclusion. The Wu family in the middle is really in danger! Wu Zhifei still has this surveillance.
Then Wu Zhifei thought of his own marriage, "We can also rely on the Su family in the Western Donghua Shenting to move to the Donghua Shenting."
Huang Xing smiled, "Mr. Wu, do you think it's easy to move your family? And even if you go to Donghua Shenting, how will you gain a foothold?
It takes hundreds of years for a family to rise, why?
Because the local contacts need to be managed a little bit; land and resources need to be accumulated little by little through various means. If a family wants to grow, it needs to spread branches and leaves, to marry, and to go up to the court and down to the fields, it has to form an intricate network of relationships.
Such a family, does it mean that they will relocate when they say they relocate? Once the family moved, the only thing they could take away was the visible wealth of gold and silver, which was worth a lot!
Besides, when you go to a strange place, you will inevitably be squeezed out by the local vested interests. And the Su family that took you in might suddenly show a ferocious face and swallow the last of the Wu family's heritage in one gulp!
Mr. Wu, do you think what I, Huang Xing, is telling the truth? "
Wu Zhifei was completely out of drunkenness at this time, and stared blankly at the distance, a little lost in thought. It took a while to look at Huang Xing, who was beside him with drunken eyes and was still pouring.
After hesitating for a while, Wu Zhifei asked cautiously: "Brother Huang is right. But I don't know what I should do to save the Wu family? Do you want to seek refuge with Junxian?"
This sentence has a very obvious tentative meaning. Wu Zhifei's poor aptitude doesn't mean he doesn't know how to fight at all. Being in such a big family, everyone knows a little bit of politics more or less.
How could Huang Xing take the bait, still drunkenly said: "No, no, if the Wu family suddenly joins Junxian, then the reputation established by the Wu family in the past will be completely destroyed. For a scholarly family like the Wu family, once the reputation is ruined , the family will fall. Therefore, you must not do this!"
"Oh..." Wu Zhifei was a little surprised, "Is there no other way than turning to Junxian?"
"Can't afford to provoke, can afford to hide." After Huang Xing finished speaking, he continued to drink.
Wu Zhifei frowned slightly, "Hiding? How to hide? Can our Wu family get out now?"
With wine dripping from his mouth, Huang Xing seemed a little confused and said, "I heard that geckos have an ability called cutting off their tails to survive; and this tail will grow back again in the future!"
Wu Zhifei asked again: "How to dock the tail? Which tail?"
"Of course it's the most conspicuous tail. How do you dock the tail? Of course it's...the bottom of the pot. Hiccup~~~" After hiccupping, Huang Xing knocked down a jar of wine, and he actually loaded the end onto the plate, whistling Fell asleep.
Wu Zhifei watched Huang Xing falling asleep, frowning and thinking for a while, his complexion gradually darkened, and a trace of cruelty gradually flashed in his eyes. Obviously, Wu Zhifei has already made a decision! Leave a few taels of gold behind, turn around and leave.
As for Huang Xing, he really fell asleep, and he slept like this until the evening, when he was kicked out by the impatient shopkeeper, he wandered back to his house. I waited until I entered the door of my own room, and then I did a spell to simply clean the dirt. Then he told the servant girl to prepare to wash up.
Don't think of him as a villain, Huang Xing doesn't discount it at all.
After washing up, Huang Xing came to visit Jun Xian to inform him of the situation.
After hearing this, Jun Xian just nodded, Huang Xing retreated obediently, and didn't dare to turn around and leave until he closed the door carefully.
In a blink of an eye, the time came to the morning of the next day. The court was very lively, Junxian still didn't speak, but the emperor Dongfang Jue became active, and began to try to issue some orders, as if he was testing Junxian's bottom line.
But compared to the young and energetic emperor, Junxian is a standard old fox, who just sits there every day, counting the dust honestly. No matter what the emperor did, Junxian didn't speak.
But it was this attitude that made the people on the emperor's side feel heavy pressure. Sometimes inaction is the greatest act! It is the so-called 'doing nothing'. This is a very high strategy.
Wu Ying, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, already felt the pressure, and felt extremely heavy at this moment. Previously, he let his second son Wu Zhicai marry Donghua Shenting and Su Xiaomei, the daughter of Su's parents, in order to leave a way out for the Wu family.
Gritting her teeth, Wu Ying was ready to speak out. Now the arrow is on the string and has to be launched.
But at this moment, there was a faint sound of drums outside; after a while, a guard came to report, "Your Majesty, someone outside is beating drums, saying that there is a great grievance."
Swipe... Almost everyone looked at Junxian; but Junxian was still there, as if he didn't notice the outside world.
Emperor Dongfang Jue gritted his teeth, "Xuan!"
The guards went out immediately, and after a while, two guards came in with a man in common clothes holding a pleading in both hands.
"Wu Zhicai!"
"It turned out to be Wu Zhicai!"
...
The officials were immediately surprised, who doesn't know Wu Zhicai, the second son of the Wu family.
Wu Ying's heart sank suddenly, looking at the Junxian who was still with the old god, she felt a wave of wavering, waves of ominousness hitting Wu Ying's primordial spirit and soul!
Here, Huang Xing stepped forward, took the pleading from Wu Zhicai, and put it on the jade case. Dongfang Jue picked it up and looked at it, and immediately flew into a rage, "It's ridiculous, it's just nonsense!"
After the emperor finished speaking, the officials reached out their spiritual senses and scanned the contents of the pleadings. Then, everyone... shivered!
Here, Wu Zhicai went all out, and knelt down with a puff, "Your Majesty, please be fair to the grassroots. When Wu Ying was drunk, she raped a maid, but accidentally discovered that the maid was pregnant. Concubine. And this is my mother!
For many years, my mother shed tears all day long, and suffered all kinds of grievances for my ineffective son.
Your Majesty, I can't help it anymore. I want to sue Wu Ying, who is not as good as a pig or a dog. He doesn't have the demeanor of a great scholar at all, let alone the heart of a husband, or the kindness of a father!
Everything in the outside world is fake, all fake!
As long as she was angry outside, Wu Ying would vent to her wives, concubines and maidservants when she returned home, and she dared not speak out when she was bullied.
Also, Wu Ying is obviously a courtier of the Qiyao God Court, but secretly communicates with the Su family of the Donghua God Court, and often meets people from the Su family in secret, groveling and spineless.
Your Majesty, please make the decision for the grassroots; Your Majesty, please take a closer look at this villain who is hypocritical and hypocritical! "
The ministers were in an uproar...
Wu Ying, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, only felt that the sky was thundering, and there was darkness in front of her eyes; at the end, Wu Ying could no longer hear anything, and only felt that the world was in darkness, and she was falling into the endless hell.
When Wu Zhicai's words fell, Wu Ying spurted out a mouthful of painstaking effort, and wailed: "Naughty beast! Naughty beast!"
Immediately afterwards, he shouted hoarsely: "Jun Xian, you are so cruel. Even if I, Wu Ying, die, I won't let you..."
"Hmph!" Huang Xing snorted angrily, interrupted Wu Ying's roar, and said with a sneer, "Looking at Mr. Wu's performance, what Mr. Wu said should be true!"
This is really... the final word!
