Chaoge City seems to be a bit lively recently.
Li Changshou, who had originally diverted his attention to several important passes in the commercial area, had to temporarily move his eyes back.
This small earthquake that killed General Zi Shou seems to have endless repercussions.
Li Changshou captured a message-carrying jade talisman coming from the southeast and dropped it into Wen Zhong’s young master’s residence. Within half an hour, Wen Zhong secretly left the young master’s residence and rushed to where the jade talisman flew. direction.
It should be time to report back to Biyou Palace.
As soon as Wen Zhong left, a few streaks of light flew into the night sky of Chaoge City, but it was the [Restaurant Immortals] who taught the teachings who returned again and sneaked into Chaoge City.
Li Changshou raised his eyebrows.
His intuition told him that something good was going to happen later, so he continued to watch and wait secretly.
Wen Zhong came back three days later, feeling quite comfortable.
If Li Changshou expected it to be true, Wen Zhongying was in the Biyou Palace, talking about his achievements in the mortal world over the years, and recommended his son to be the 'handsome' chess player in the chess game of the mortal world. And got support from Jiejiao.
To be on the safe side, Li Changshou sent a letter to Zhao Gongming to find out more about the matter.
It’s not much different from his inference.
After Wen Zhong returned to Biyou Palace, he first paid homage to Our Lady of Jinling, and then was brought to Taoist Duobao by Our Lady of Jinling.
Wen Zhong knelt down and confessed, talking about what he saw and heard in the Shang Kingdom, analyzing the power structure at home and abroad of the Shang Dynasty, and explaining the relationship between the merchants and the eight hundred princes in great detail.
And here, there is another thing related to Li Changshou.
Wen Zhongjing directly used the reason that "Da Shi argued with Emperor Yi and established Zi Shou as his heir" and said that Li Changshou supported Zi Shou to be the next Shang Lord.
So, without much hesitation, Jie Jiao made a "strategic plan" to fully support Zi Shou in becoming Shang Jun.
Li Changshou: ...
Fortunately, Zhao Gongming’s reply also included a message from Senior Brother Duobao after Wen Zhong left.
Taoist Duobao said:
"Master Wen Zhong's nephew obviously loves his son, the Crown Prince. He has the affection of a teacher towards his disciple, and his words are trustworthy. But we can’t believe it all.
We still have to prepare for this matter. On the one hand, we support Zi Shou to become the Shang Lord, and on the other hand, we continue to observe which of the various princes will suddenly rise in the future.
For example, the Jiang family in the east was rich and powerful, so the Shang king had to stabilize Jiang Huanchu by marrying him.
At least he won’t lose money. ”
Li Changshou felt relieved now. He was really afraid that a slap on the thigh from Master Jie would determine his future path.
It is still necessary to take a walk and take a look before it is too late to make a decision.
Only a few days after Wen Zhong returned to Chaoge City, the "Restaurant Immortal" of Chanjiao began to secretly become active.
They first showed off their magic skills to attract the attention of dignitaries in the city, and then got acquainted with these dignitaries and gave them some elixirs and charms that did not increase life span, cure diseases and relieve disasters.He became a guest in the aristocratic circle of Chaoge City.
Mortal people long for nothing more than prolonging their lives and being free from illness and disaster. Although this is a bit unjust, it is just right.
Li Changshou concluded from this that it must be the senior brothers of Chanjiao who were behind the scenes.
The reason is probably because Wen Zhong and Zi Shou were too close.
So, Li Changshou... gained another steady hand.
A letter was sent to Master Taiyi’s cave, and he soon received a reply from Master Taiyi.
Zhenren Taiyi mentioned in his letter that they, Chan Sect, were really worried about Wen Zhong, a third-generation disciple of Jie Sect, about his current status in Chaoge City and his future development potential.
According to Senior Brother Guangchengzi’s point of view, at the very least, they should “compare” with Jie Jiao on this matter.
Therefore, Chanjiao also made two preparations.
First, support Wei Ziqi and promote Wei Ziqi’s identity as the eldest son of Emperor Yi.
Second, place Chanjiao disciples next to Zishou, and gradually gain Zishou's trust to check and balance Wen Zhong.
This interpretation of teaching is also full of checks and balances.
The battle to seize the direct descendants in Chaoge City has officially begun.
The first people on both sides to enter were third-generation disciples. After hearing Zhongjing and Li Changshou’s instructions twice, they quickly began to adapt to the days of intrigue.
At this stage, the two sides mainly focused on winning over courtiers and generals.
Zi Shou and Wen Zhong made a good move.
They selected Huang Feihu, the son of Huang Gun, a military family, and trained him carefully.
Zi Shou and Huang Feihu have known each other since childhood. The latter is proficient in the art of war, has superb martial arts, and has the ability to tear apart tigers and leopards. He is a rising star in the army.
Zi was empowered to protect Huang Feihu and support Huang Feihu in his continuous promotion in the army.
Huang Feihu himself was quite ambitious. He went out on several expeditions within three years and won successively.
Huang Gun has long been the commander-in-chief of Jiepaiguan, a high official in the border area, and has close relationships with many established families.
Zi Shou spoke in front of the palace, and Emperor Yi happily agreed. Huang Feihu was awarded the title of General Tiger and Wolf, responsible for guarding Chaoge City and commanding the military affairs outside Chaoge City.
This is equivalent to handing over half of Chaoge City to Zi Shou in advance.
Chanjiao responded to this, and the "Three Great Scholars" came to Puxian and Cihang, together with Chi Jingjing, to conspire against Chaoge City.
Not long after, rumors spread in the city, and soon a move that Li Changshou seemed familiar with appeared...
The river on the north side of Chaoge City dried up for three days, and a side appeared in the mud of the river bed. The ancient stele has four big characters engraved on it:
【Shang Duan Zi Shou】.
This incident caused an uproar in Chaoge City.
In the next few days, cracks appeared in the tombs of successive Shang kings, and two tombs even collapsed.
Di Yi was tossing and turning over this.
Mortals in ancient times had to be superstitious and had to believe in the theories of gods and ghosts.
In the Young Master's Mansion, Wen Zhong was so anxious that his hair turned white. He hurriedly asked for help from Yuxu Palace and invited the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit and the Holy Mother of Wudang.
Fortunately, the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit did not come directly to Chaoge City to draw the sword...
The two sides continued to make moves and competed in the air. It didn't matter whether they were undermining or not, as long as they worked.
Li Changshou was just watching the excitement. He sat on a small bench in the Grand Historian's Mansion every day, letting his celestial consciousness go outwards, and all kinds of situations came from the bottom of his heart.
This scene is good to watch, but it’s a bit too much for Di Yi.
Di Yi, who could still hold on to the position of Lord Shang for a few more years, has aged at a speed visible to the naked eye. His physical condition is getting worse day by day, and the handover will only be in the next three or four years. .
This further triggered the power struggle in Chaoge City.
When the top immortal forces begin to interfere with the mortal kingship, it will inevitably impact the original order of the mortal world and lead to a series of magical events.
And when an immortal from Chanjiao proposed that they approach the palace secretly and directly modify Emperor Yi's memory...
Li Changshou, who had been watching the show, had to step forward.
Let’s play, make trouble, and don’t make fun of the Emperor.
In the current order of the three realms of heaven, earth, and humans, although the Human Emperor is only a mortal, he cannot be manipulated at will.
Li Changshou waved his sleeves, and the guards and servants of Da Shifu almost broke their legs. The dark web woven in Chaoge City quickly surfaced, catching both the Chan and Jie sects off guard.
First, in the King's Palace, twenty-nine ministers jointly submitted a memorial, saying that rumors were spreading in Chaoge City and alchemists were running around, intending to disrupt the imperial court, and this matter should be investigated thoroughly.
Then, the female priests petitioned to advance the Great Sacrifice of Heaven and Earth, which was supposed to be held three years later, to an auspicious time after the moon, to offer sacrifices to ancestors, worship the Emperor of Heaven, and pray for prosperity and good weather for the country.
Shang Jun thought for a long time and agreed to the matter. Chaoge City immediately became busy inside and outside.
Chanjiao came up with the idea of this grand ceremony and made many arrangements outside, preparing to make Zishou embarrassed and lose his position as heir.
Jie Jiao had already expected this, so he was secretly supporting him, so that Zi Shou could complete the worship smoothly.
However, on that day.
Shang Jun slowly climbed up to the high platform in the middle of Chaoge City. Before Zi Shou could move forward, there was suddenly a golden light in the air, and the sound of thunder came from the sky on all sides.
Shang Jun was overjoyed when he saw this, and finished singing the prayer with some trembling. The golden light turned into two teams of golden armored generals, flying from the sky.
What follows is the vast power of God!
Look at the leading general, wearing a light red dress and chain-link gold armor. His slender figure is getting hotter and hotter, but he has an unconcealable majesty that makes mortals dare not look directly at him.
Of course there is Qin Xuanya.
The subsidy for this business trip is thirty thousand spiritual stones.
Youqin Xuanya flew into the air, lowered her head and stared at the old Lord Shang below, her eyes swept across the city, and her calm and lark-like voice spread everywhere:
"Fenghao TianjinQue Miluo is the true Jade Emperor’s order!
The Shang Kingdom was among the common people and was protected by the Heavenly Court. Anyone who dared to use magic to disrupt the Shang Kingdom's dynasty would be classified as a demon and an enemy of the Heavenly Court. "
After saying that, Youqin Xuanya turned around and left, her ponytail swinging in the air in a chic and unruly manner.
"Ancestor! "
The Shang Jun recognized Qin Xuanya's identity and couldn't help shouting loudly: "Ancestor, can you take me back with you!" ”
Youqin Xuanya frowned slightly and lowered her head to glance at the trembling Emperor Yi. She didn’t know how to answer, but after hearing a few transmissions, she immediately replied:
< p> "As a human emperor, why should I let down my subjects?There is a difference between immortals and mortals. Humanity has the prosperity of humanity, and immortality has the suffering of immortality. You wish to be born and be your king. If you have no conscience, heaven and earth will not treat you badly. ”
After saying that, the golden light in the sky stopped, and Youqin Xuanya and the two teams of divine generals rose into the sky and disappeared.
Youqin Xuanya had just left, explaining the two sects Immediately stop today's plan, and the disciples assigned by both parties will temporarily withdraw from Chaoge City and discuss it later.
The two sects will know Qin Xuanya's identity.
Although her cultivation level is not high, she is the goddess of war in heaven, a disciple of the Immortal Sect of the Human Sect, and a very trusted junior sister of Taibai Star Lord Li Changgeng.
She appeared in Chaoge City today, so she can. There are several interpretations, which are basically equivalent to the master of the tribulation shouting in the ears of the two elder brothers:
[It has crossed the line, stop for a while]
Think carefully, but again. It was to remind the two sects that the fight for the throne should not involve the contemporary emperor himself.
After the great ceremony, Chaoge City finally calmed down.
But the calm did not last. Two months later, riots broke out in the army, and Huang Feihu's lieutenant was assassinated, and his death was extremely strange.
The bloodshed in the battle for the throne has begun.
Li Changshou's confrontation. This is also to turn a blind eye and allow the two sects to toss each other, and stick to their own principles as a 'referee'.
First of all, never use your will... cough, I got the wrong script.
His rules are actually simple, that is, you can't take action against the Human Emperor, and you can't take action against innocent mortals. In addition, there is only one last rule:
Yes. Those who play games in Chaoge City are limited to the two religions
...
In the dead of night, in the backyard of Li's mansion, in Chentangguan. Wang Chang'an, a long-lived paper Taoist and senior servant, has returned to his own house and is sleeping in bed.
Recently, he has a new job, teaching Jin Zha how to read and write.
Although he doesn't want to admit that he has any relationship with Li Jing as an adopted father and adopted son, when he looks at Jin Zha, he really feels like he is a great thief.
Bah! >Keep Chunyang’s mission in mind and stay young!
The night breeze brought a few voices, but it was Li Jing and Mrs. Yin who were talking in bed.
p>
Chentangguan is on the edge of the secular world, and it is almost cut off from Chaoge City. Only once every half month, the sergeant will bring news about Chaoge City, as well as military and government orders from various ministries.
Of course, all the taxes here must be sent to Chaoge City. Due to the long distance, the transportation team only sets off once every three years.
The foreign enemies that Chentangguan has to face are not only bandits and barbarians, but also monsters that often appear;
In addition, when Chentangguan was still Chentang Town, , there are many human Qi refining practitioners left here. Although their level is not too high, there are indeed some superficial Qi refining methods spread.
Mrs. Yin originally belonged to an ordinary noble family in Da Yin City and knew nothing about spiritual practice. However, with the help of Li Jing, she is now a qualified Qi practitioner. While her lifespan has increased, her own It is also youthful, but has a mature charm.
Li Jing and the Yin family are as loving as ever. If there are no military and government affairs, they must be in his own love house.
That's really...
Singing and singing, talking and talking, drunk and dreaming every night, as if the sun and stars would no longer rise the next day.
If Li Changshou’s wind curse is too late to put away at night, he will always make himself blush and feel quite embarrassed.
No, Muzha is already on the way.
As for tonight, Mrs. Yin said softly: "Hey, when will the chaos in Chaoge City end? It has now spread to the army."
< p>"The eldest prince is dissatisfied. It is far-fetched for the third prince to take the throne. However, due to different birth times of the same mother and father, one is a minister and the other is a king..."Li Jing sighed softly, He smiled and said: "Madam, let's not worry about this. The sky is high and the king is far away. Just protect Chentangguan."
"There are many relatives and friends in the clan who are officials, how can we not worry?"< /p>
The Yin family asked: "Husband, you are an immortal. Do you know if there are really immortals causing trouble in Chaoge City?"
"Of course there are, but they are all hiding in the dark. "It's hard to say much," Li Jing said in a deep voice, "Madam, you also know that our adoptive father is the top among immortals.
The rules he set in his early years are the separation of immortals and mortals. Immortals should not interfere with the mortal world, and mortal monarchs should not seek immortality.
This is also the ancestral precept of the Shang Kingdom. The king had also violated the taboo when he begged the ancestors of the Shang Kingdom to take him away, and he suffered several nightmares for this reason. ."
"Husband, how long can the king last?"
"It's hard to say, but Madam," Li Jing chuckled, "Why don't you and I undress and go to bed? , I can’t bear it as a husband.”
The following content is what Li Changshou judged and the TV station would not allow it to be broadcast.
The wind curse was temporarily turned off, and Li Changshou was about to move away when he suddenly noticed a stream of light flying from the horizon.
Looking carefully, there is a fairy who explains the teachings within this stream of light.
Manjusri?
Are you coming to take away Jin Zha?
Aren’t you afraid of delaying the couple’s love this late at night?
Li Changshou turned over and sat up, wondering if he should remind Jie Jiao. The Manjusri had already transformed into a cloud, slowly falling from the sky towards the General Military Mansion.
This Manjusri also has a middle-aged face, wearing an elegant gray Taoist robe, surrounded by elegant Taoist charm. He is smiling at the moment and has a strong sense of intimacy.
Tens of feet above the ground, Manjusri stopped his head and his voice spread throughout the Li Mansion:
"Is nephew Li Jingxian at home?"
In the backyard of the Li Mansion, Mrs. Yin hurriedly buttoned up her half-unbuttoned dress, and Li Jing quickly put on his armor. After everything was done, he closed several barriers around the house and walked out together.
Somewhat embarrassed.
