midsummer
The turmoil in Chang'an City has subsided for a while, and with the thousands of heads at Caishikou falling to the ground, it seems that the matter has finally settled. Eradication is not so easy.
Xiao Riding School has been very busy recently, and Chen Xiaoru is even busier.
In the past two or three months, Xiaoqi school has arrested people who have been numb. The highest-ranking figure in the Sky Control Society is not Xu Xi, or even any top-ranking figure. Relatively speaking, Cui You, Dugu Bingwen, and Ye Manwen are some of the representatives. As for Xu Xi, it was just a sword supported by the Tiankong Society.
Perhaps, after Xu Xi lost to Wan Xingchen and his will was depressed, the Sky Control Society found him and kept him. Or maybe, Xu Xi really had the experience of traveling west that the cook Fang Jie mentioned. But no matter what, even if Xu Xi is a loser, no one can deny the heights he has reached.
A behemoth that once ruled the rivers and lakes collapsed in his hands, how could it not be a kind of torture for him
Perhaps, it wasn't just Wan Xingchen's sword that shattered his self-confidence, but also the collapse of Moon Shadow Hall. The pain of being ashamed of my ancestors is also heartbreaking.
Fang Jie's injury has almost healed, much faster than initially expected. This is due to the power in his body that claims to be endless. What surprised Fang Xie was that after the battle with Xu Xi, the seven veins in his body had disappeared, and the tree that could only be formed when he went all out. The tree of energy veins has become the norm.
In other words, his physique has reached a new height.
This tree is his life.
The denser the root system of the tree, the stronger his physique.
Fang Jie once thought that maybe it was Xu Xi's sword energy that stimulated his physique. After the injury, his body began to grow stronger as it healed itself. Because the power of the sword energy is very strong, the physique also becomes stronger immediately. Fang Jie had a sense of joy that he was the kind of awesome character who was strong when he met the strong, but he didn't think it was a good thing to get injured a few times.
Of course, after Xu Xi died, there were not many people in this world who could still hurt him.
Zhang Yiyang and Xiao Yijiu left separately, one went back to Wudang Mountain and continued to be Zhang Zhenren, who never saw his head and tail, and the other returned to the barbarian tribe in the grassland to continue to be his saint. Perhaps these two identities are what they are most familiar with and like most. Xiao Yijiu, in particular, received far more respect and recognition in the barbarian tribe than in the Central Plains. No matter who it was, the sense of accomplishment was something that made people obsessed.
Precisely because of the ever-rising barbarian tribes to keep them in check, the Mengyuan people, who were seriously injured, couldn't even control the affairs of the grassland itself, let alone the affairs of the Central Plains
Fang Jie still held Meng Ge down, asking people to tell him news about Meng Yuan from time to time. For Meng Ge, perhaps this is purgatory.
Walking on the path of Tai Chi Palace, Fang Jie walked with his hands behind his back.
Wei Xiting followed behind step by step, leaning his upper body slightly forward, looking extraordinarily humble and submissive. He is a person who is extremely smart, so he is very clear that all the status and power he has now can only be explained by one sentence. He knows better that Fang Jie can destroy him at any time if he behaves slightly wrong.
This is centralization, and it is a centralization based on personal strength and cultivation.
irresistible.
"The affairs of the various Taoists in Jiangbei have almost been straightened out. The people have not yet crossed the line. It seems that their reaction is much more rational than expected."
Wei Xiting said.
Fang Jie nodded, he could understand why.
The experience of the people in this world is not the same as that of Fang Jie’s previous life. Although there are still classes in this world, the powerful and the grassroots, the oppression of the people by the rich and powerful in the Sui Dynasty is far less violent than in the darkest period of Fang Jie’s previous life. . Therefore, the hatred of the people is far less violent than that of the people in the previous life.
"In a few days, I will hand over the affairs of Jiangbei to some capable people under your command, and you are ready to leave for Jiangnan..."
Fang Jie said as he walked, "Now you have become a thorn in the side of others. What you have done in the Jiangbei Taoism, those people in the Jiangnan Taoism can see clearly. As long as I let you go to Jiangnan. The news spreads, People who want to kill you can line up from Chang'an City to Chunbo Pavilion City."
Wei Xiting smiled and said: "The more people who want to kill the minister, the closer we will be to the Great Ding of the World."
"You will not die."
Fang Jie said: "I will send the best people to protect you."
"I know that I can't die, and I can't die yet."
Wei Xiting said: "People in Jiangnan should be thinking about countermeasures for the matter in Jiangbei. It is said that there is no resistance to the implementation of land division and household registration in Jiangnan. That's because those people dare not offend the common people."
"fair enough."
Fang Jie said: "I originally imagined that it would take at least five years to stabilize the world. It seems that those people are far smarter than we thought. They have already felt that this is an irreversible change. Since they don't want to If they die, they can only adapt to this change. I never thought that injustice would be eradicated, and the greatest achievement is to let most people live a good life of their own.”
Wei Xiting lowered his head: "There is no one before or since."
Fang Jie smiled: "This flattery is not bad."
Wei Xiting asked with a smile: "Jiangnan is the most complicated, more complicated than Jiangbei. So I think that the Jiangnan side should take it slowly. Now that those people have relented and started to accept changes, then the strategy of Jiangbei cannot be the same. I think, yes Isn't it able to accommodate some people?"
"It still needs to be tolerated."
Fang Jie said slowly: "I can't kill them all, I knew it from the beginning."
"Chen... I have one more request."
Wei Xiting said after being silent for a while.
"What?"
Fang asked.
"I want to build a house in Yongzhou?"
He used a questioning tone.
Fang Jie paused slightly, then shook his head: "I will build you a house in Chang'an City."
…
…
"I promised Yang Qinyan that I would build a mausoleum for her brother."
Fang Jie stood on the wall of Chang'an City, overlooking the city: "But in order not to hurt more innocent people, when I fought Xu Xi, I chose the imperial tomb and Beishan as the battlefield. Rebuild. I don't want to bear the infamy, and I don't want to be unable to face Yang Qinyan's eyes."
Yang Puhu, who was sitting on the wall dangling his legs, didn't seem to care.
"Although I seem to be a bit older than most of the people in the tomb, I don't have anything to worry about about this kind of thing. The change of dynasties has always been a normal thing... I won't scold you if you don't repair the Yang family's tomb. Back then, the Yang family could control the world, so of course the Fang family can do it today."
He said.
Fang Jie laughed, "Maybe it's not what you think."
"What was that like?"
Puhu asked.
"Who knows."
Fang Jie asked, "If I don't want to be emperor, how can I choose a suitable person to be emperor?"
Pu Hu turned to look at him: "Are you an idiot?"
Fang Jie smiled and said nothing.
Puhu said: "First, if you choose someone you think is suitable, then this person will die very quickly. Because as long as you leave, others will turn against you. Why him, why not me? Once this kind of thinking Come out, you can't stop it. Second, if the person you choose is not dead, then he can only kill. Anyone who may threaten him will be eliminated, and there will be no room for it. Third... you too who threatened him."
"Also, once you do this, the imperial decree you made will be overturned soon."
"I know."
Fang Jie nodded: "I know all of this."
Pu Hu said: "There must be a prerequisite for what you are promoting now. That is, there must be an absolutely powerful and absolutely powerful dictator. Without such a person, it is impossible to do it."
"so… "
Fang Jie looked at him and smiled, "I'm still in Chang'an City."
"When?"
Pu Hu asked: "Are you really going to leave?"
"No."
Fang Jie shook his head: "I really don't want to be the emperor, but I have to be the emperor. I have to ensure that the things I promote will not change for decades, so that the social system will take shape. When someone wants to rebel At that time, even if I promised the people, they would not agree."
"As long as you know."
Pu Hu shrugged his shoulders: "To the Yang family, am I considered an unworthy descendant? To my descendants who have been emperors, am I considered an unreliable ancestor?"
"But you're a good friend."
Fang explained.
Puhu laughed and looked at the blue sky: "I thought, I won't adapt to the blue sky and white clouds anymore."
"No one is not used to happiness."
Fang Jie patted Pu Hu on the shoulder: "Go together tomorrow?"
Pu Hu nodded: "Fatty Xiang is getting married, of course he will go!"
…

big snow mountain
Daiwaji Temple
Dalun Mingwang Palace
"I don't care who you are, what you are, where you are."
The young Kuoke Taimeng shouted loudly: "I am the new Great Khan of the Mongolian Yuan Empire, and I am the son of Kuoketai Mengge. I spent two years killing all those who opposed me, and then Here I am. My mother Huixiu Ketun told me that if you want to restore the Mongol Empire to its former glory, you must come to Dalun Temple. My father once said that there is something in Dalun Temple that has a powerful power, a power that can control the world."
The young man looked around: "Although this Dalun Temple has been dilapidated, I know you must still be there. You must be like me, wanting to restore the glory of the past. Therefore, this is a new starting point, and it may be It's a new reincarnation...give me, give me your power!"
He started shouting, hysterical.
"you?"
The voice suddenly came to mind, without any warning and no idea where it came from.
"You can not."
The voice was flat, without disdain or contempt.
But Quoke Taimeng Weihuo seemed to be slapped in the face, and he couldn't adapt to the sense of shame.
"Why can't I!"
he asked growling.
"Because I already know the time is coming... I'm waiting for someone to come. After this person comes, maybe it will be the end, maybe it will be the beginning. But it has nothing to do with you, because you are not that person. I used to be terrified of this A person from the past appeared, but now I have some expectations. It may also be that this is a feeling called loneliness in you humans."
The voice remained calm, without any fluctuations.
"I don't understand!"
Kuoke Taimeng Weihuo shouted loudly: "Please explain clearly, what exactly do you mean! My mother changed my name to Weihuo, and she told me that even the weakest fire is still fire, and it can also illuminate the night sky. Weihuo , can also turn the entire grassland into a sea of flames! I must do it, because I am the last hope of the Quoke Taimeng family!"
"hopeless."
The voice was calm but ruthless: "Your family was just picked up by me casually back then, so there is no such thing as fate. If it is not you, it will be someone else. You go, I have to continue to wait, I have to wait man, tell him a secret."
"A real secret."
The sound disappears.
The young man yelled like crazy, but no one paid any attention to him.
