Chapter 1565: Evil Forces
The people of the six major sects received timely rescue, and there were also panaceas such as the Black Jade Intermittent Ointment. Although they were all injured, only those who were seriously injured and disabled did not die.
And Zhang Sanfeng became the idol of the whole people in Dadu overnight. Although most people followed the trend, there were still a few people who were truly respectful to Zhang Sanfeng. However, since knowing that the emperor was going to summon Zhang Sanfeng, all the civil and military officials wanted to flatter him more or less, so that Zhang Zhenren would say a few good words when he met the emperor, or say less bad things.
So gold, silver and treasures were continuously sent to the temporary residence of the Taoist priests in Wudang Mountain, so much that there was no place to put them.
"The officials of the court are really rich, and some of them are quite tasteful." Officials did not just send money, but also sent works of art such as calligraphy and ceramics.
Zhao Min only felt that this was a satire on the court. These things could be said to be the fat of the people: "Master, when you see the emperor, tell the emperor about these people who sent things, and let the emperor kill them." Zhao Min thought that if they were all killed, there might be some innocent people, but definitely not many.
"They gave me gifts out of kindness, but you didn't thank them but wanted to retaliate against them. Why?"
"Because they are all corrupt officials. They gave me gifts just to bribe Master, or to get Master to say good things, or to get Master to talk less. Some officials have a bad reputation among the people, and they are afraid that the emperor will know this." "Usually, the emperor doesn't have the opportunity to meet with people from the people, but Master has the honor this time, and many officials must have been scared."
As expected, it was Zhao Min, who made a thorough analysis and knew the secrets of the officialdom.
"Do you think the emperor would kill court officials without evidence just because of a few words I said?"
Zhao Min naturally knew it was impossible: "Master, you can try."
"Master, of course, I can try, but what if the emperor is furious and kills me because of my false accusation?" Du Lan said that the edge of testing is very dangerous.
"Who can kill Master? Didn't you say, 'There is nothing in the world that can break martial arts, only speed can't break it'." Zhao Min said with a choked voice, and dared to tease Master.
Although Du Lan agreed to enter the palace, he didn't plan to say anything.
"Master Zhang." At this time, Master Miejue came over. "I heard that you want to meet the emperor?"
"There is such a thing, Master Miejue, what do you want?"
"I just want to ask Master Zhang about the future of us martial artists." It turned out that the six masters were afraid that Duran would take this opportunity to get rid of them and surrender to the court alone to reap the benefits.
This time, the six major sects were all injured, and only Miejue and Duran were intact, so they went to Miejue to test Duran's attitude.
Duran saw their thoughts and thought that the six major sects were in a precarious situation after experiencing this terrorist attack. If there was an improper handling, they would really fall apart.
"I have my own plan." Duran still wanted to keep it a secret.
While Duran was arranging matters, he didn't know that King Ruyang had authorized him to enter the Royal Library to view historical materials. Since knowing Zhang Sanfeng's identity, King Ruyang knew that he had to dig deep into history to find more information about Duran.
King Ruyang thought that since Duran could live for more than a hundred years, he could live longer. Maybe not only the history of the Yuan Dynasty was disturbed by the couple, but also the history of more distant times. He wanted to expand his reading range and read the history of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty, the Liao Dynasty, and even the Tang Dynasty. He must find useful information.
To go against the will of heaven, one must understand heaven.
Now the information that King Ruyang knows is the "Tianshan Fairy" and her husband, so he should pay attention to the news of Tianshan.
In fact, Tianshan is a remote place, and there is not much recorded. Fortunately, King Ruyang looked carefully and slowly, and still found a record about "banquetting Du Lan".
That was the list of expenses for the Liao Emperor Xiao Feng to entertain Du Lan. It was said that the emperor was frugal, but in order to entertain Du Lan, he used super-standard treatment, so he specially recorded this matter.
The record said that Du Lan's behavior was disrespectful, but Xiao Feng was respectful.
After reading it, King Ruyang took a deep breath. If Du Lan in the record was a person, then Du Lan had existed at least since the Northern Song Dynasty, and was also related to the Liao Dynasty. Xiao Feng's ability to change from a commoner to an emperor was also "God's will". Is this will of heaven fate or Du Lan's means?
The Fairy of Tianshan is likely to be hiding in the Kingdom of Women, because the Kingdom of Women is the largest force in Tianshan. Could it be that the history of the Central Plains has always been influenced by the Kingdom of Women, or even directly controlled?
Thinking of this, King Ruyang's back was soaked. If there is really a force in the world that can influence the course of history, how terrible would it be?
Continue to look, look through history, expand the search range, and carefully look at the records about the Kingdom of Women. The words are full of "conspiracy".
From the setting that only women can give birth in the Kingdom of Women, it is a conspiracy. Du Lan's longevity is also a conspiracy. The Fairy of Tianshan instigated Hua Zheng to kill his father is also a conspiracy.
It can be said that the Kingdom of Women used the Mongolia led by Hua Zheng to open up the east and west and control the entire Silk Road. The one who benefited the most was the Kingdom of Women in the middle of the Silk Road. Now the court has established a railway network and collected commercial taxes. It intends to take back more commercial power and has stronger control over the Silk Road. Is it because of this reason that the Kingdom of Women secretly wants to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty?
In the Northern Song Dynasty, they supported the Liao Dynasty, and in the Southern Song Dynasty, they supported the Yuan Dynasty. So now, will they also support the Ming Cult?
With his back soaked, King Ruyang was shocked by his own thoughts.
If this is true, how powerful is the Kingdom of Women? And could Duran and Tianshan Fairy be the agents of the Kingdom of Women abroad?
The Kingdom of Women planned a subversion plan, and the Fairy of Tianshan and Du Lan were responsible for the execution? I heard that the Kingdom of Women has various magical medicines, which have been famous since ancient times. Maybe even the elixir of immortality can be refined, so Du Lan can live a long life.
The more I think about it, the more afraid I am, and the more I feel that it makes sense. King Ruyang knows that this matter is of great importance, and he must find someone he trusts to discuss it with.
After sorting out the information, King Ruyang found a trusted person to discuss it. Others were also scared by King Ruyang's words, but King Ruyang found the information and made an analysis, which was reasonable.
Du Lan was behind the prosperity of the Liao Dynasty, Du Lan was behind the rise of Mongolia, and Du Lan was behind the current Mingjiao. All of this shows that there is indeed the same force controlling history.
"Zhang Sanfeng personally admitted that he is Du Lan, it will not be false." King Ruyang faced his friends' doubts and believed in his reasoning: "Now Du Lan is about to enter the palace, I want everyone to think of a way to protect the emperor."
Everyone finally chose to believe King Ruyang. Although his words were incredible, they were not impossible. Qin Shi Huang has been refining elixirs since ancient times. The Kingdom of Women has such advanced pharmaceutical technology that they may have already made it.
"I think the few of us are not enough. It is better to recruit people from the Ministry of Industry. They have the best technology and may be able to develop weapons that can defeat Duran." Someone suggested.
King Ruyang clapped his hands in agreement. Doesn't he need more powerful weapons? "That's right."
