"General, Tong Mo has been executed!"
In a requisitioned courtyard on the border of Beizhou, the young general presented intelligence from Yanjing.
Shao Dengyun, who was dressed in a powerful outfit and was practicing his sword dance, suddenly turned his sword over and stuck it on the ground. He stood up straight, took the information and examined it carefully.
We have also received news of the previous news in the capital. After a series of shocking changes, Tong's family was ransacked, and Tong Mo's fate has not yet been seen. We have been paying attention to it.
At this moment, after it was confirmed that Tong Mo had been dismembered by Ling Chi, Shao Dengyun looked up to the sky and sighed: "Evil will be punished, and traitors will be punished. Those brothers who were bloodbathed back then can rest in peace."
…
On the Yanzhao front line, when they saw the news that Tong Mo was executed by Lingchi, boom! Shang Chaozong punched the case, "Okay! If this traitor doesn't die, my uncles from back then will never die in peace!"
"Alas!" Meng Shanming was also filled with emotion. Chutong Mo was so powerful that he had to live in seclusion. Now he was finally eliminated. "It's not good for Tong Mo to offend anyone, so he sent people to assassinate Master Dao in the secret realm, which made Master Dao angry. Master Tao is really a good trick, and he uprooted the entire Tong family!"
Shang Chaozong was also very emotional. Tong Mo was so powerful that not just anyone could overthrow him. Unexpectedly, Niu Youdao went to Yanjing and took action, directly overthrowing a generation of powerful ministers like a torrent. After sighing with emotion, he snorted: "If Master Tao doesn't get rid of him, I will get rid of him sooner or later!"
Meng Shanming: "The great revenge has been avenged. We can send a message to General Zhang Hu and the former king's old troops, so that everyone can be happy together!"
"That's right!" Shang Chaozong agreed and ordered people to spread the news widely.
…
Qi Jing, in a house deep in the street.
Yan Baoru moved the cages containing birds and animals in the side room and placed them under the sun.
Now she has returned to her normal appearance. She has also taken off her gorgeous clothes and is wearing pure cloth. Her long hair is simply tied up and draped on her back. She looks barefaced. It seems that she has given up everything in the past and concentrates on killing Wu Xin.
Wu Xin observed the reaction of the birds and animals in the cage after the medicine was administered.
Guo Man came back from outside, closed the courtyard door, and ran outside the circle of cages, chattering about the news outside.
The most exciting news in the world today is naturally the execution of Sikong Tongmo, the great general of Yan State.
Just because Tong Mo ordered him to assassinate, Niu Youdao turned around and immediately took revenge. He killed Tong Mo's whole family and cut his body into thousands of pieces. Yan Baoru bit his lip like silver teeth and said nothing, feeling a little uneasy, worried that Niu Youdao would be killed. Tao will come to your door sooner or later.
"Are you worried that he will settle a score with you?" Wu Xin asked, staring at a mouse carefully.
Yan Baoru: “I’m also afraid of causing harm to Mr.
Wu Xin stared at the mouse in the cage in silence.
Guo Man looked at this and that, his eyes glancing back and forth on their faces.
…
In the Xuan Pavilion, Shao Pingbo, who was sitting quietly, slowly put down the information in his hand, with a slightly confused look on his eyebrows.
Shao Sansheng, who was pouring tea and water on the side, said: "This Niu Youdao is becoming more and more powerful, and his work is becoming more and more high-profile."
There was also emotion hidden in his tone. He thought back then that Niu Youdao was nothing. The eldest son could scare him into fleeing with just a wrong look on his face. Now it has really become the climate. Even the prime minister of a country said that Knock it down.
Shao Pingbo: "The more high-profile people fall, the worse they fall. Only fools like to be high-profile. The reason why people like him are high-profile must be because they can no longer be low-key... I always feel that this matter is not that simple."
Shao Sansheng was suspicious: "Tong Mo sent people to kill him. Isn't it normal for him to go to the capital to seek revenge on Tong Mo?"
Shao Pingbo: "It's not abnormal. The Yan Kingdom's court is still the same Yan Kingdom's court. In order to kill Tong Mo, he went to Yanjing and made such a big fuss. I always feel that something is wrong. This is not like his style of dealing with things."
Shao Sansheng: "Eldest Young Master, as I said before, his power is getting stronger and stronger, and he gradually has the ability to do this. Besides, it is impossible to quietly bring down someone like Tong Mo. "
Shao Pingbo was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "There are more and more things involved, and they are getting bigger and bigger. They are not as simple as before. I can't understand this Niu Youdao more and more, but everything has internal causes. Logic. Excluding the superficial factors of revenge, tell me, he did this and destroyed Tong Mo. Who benefited? "
Shao Sansheng: "Of course it's him. Tong Mo can no longer cause trouble for him. It also serves as a warning to others. From now on, people in the Yan Kingdom's court will not dare to act rashly. There are also the three major factions of the Yan Kingdom, listen. It is said that the three major sects of the Yan Kingdom made a fortune by stealing Tong Mo's house this time. There is also Gao Jiancheng. Tong Mo's power collapsed. Gao Jiancheng's wife became a mother-in-law and finally took the position of the Great Sikong of the Yan Kingdom! Also! If the prince falls, whoever inherits the throne and becomes the prince will be the real biggest profiteer! Of course, there are more or less profiteers who have benefited from it, and these small ones can be ignored, right? "
"Many things seem complicated, but in fact they are not that complicated. The real cause of the matter may lie there, or it may just be confused by the appearance, or artificially complicated. The most basic rule is whoever benefits and who is most suspicious!" Shao Pingbo He stretched out his hand, dipped his pen in ink, and wrote down on the paper the directions that Shao Sansheng just mentioned: Niu Youdao, Three Great Sects, Gao Jiancheng, and Prince.
"It must be good to be kind to the cow, otherwise he wouldn't do it."
After staring at the four directions listed and pondering for a while, Bifeng crossed out Niu Youdao's name.
"If there is such a big commotion just because the three major factions want to get this windfall, I don't believe it. As long as the three major factions open their mouths, Tong Mo will not dare not spit it out."
Pen Feng crossed out the three major factions again.
Only 'Gao Jiancheng' and 'Prince' were left on the paper. He stared at these two and said slowly: "Is there any problem with these two?"
Shao Sansheng: "Gao Jiancheng and Niu Youdao have a grudge. This Gao Jiancheng has repeatedly wanted to kill Niu Youdao. According to later intelligence, Zong Yuan, the seventh master of Danbang who attacked Maolu Villa, was also a good deed done by Gao Jiancheng. Niu Youdao Youdao can't possibly help him, right?"
Shao Pingbo: "Don't forget that Lu Shengzhong and Chen Guishuo were both people who wanted to kill him, and were later used by him. There are traces of people's behavior. Yun Ji, the Ghost Mother, the monsters and ghosts of the four seas, etc., The bull thief is quite tolerant of people, as long as he can use them, he can tolerate people of all religions and whatever problems, he has this kind of control ability."
Shao Sansheng: "It's different. Gao Jiancheng has a grudge against him for killing his son!"
Shao Pingbo: "You mean there is something wrong with the 'Prince'?"
Shao Sansheng: "The new crown prince hasn't been confirmed yet. Whoever comes out in the end may cause problems, right? Is it too early to say who it is now?"
Shao Pingbo stared at the two remaining parties on the paper: "Both of them seem to be inconsistent, but they all have one thing in common. Whether Gao Jiancheng comes to power or a new prince comes to power, they may influence the political power of Yan State. What does this mean to Niu Youdao? This Gao Jincheng, I will try to test him if I have the opportunity."
Shao Sansheng was shocked, "The eldest son suspects that Gao Jiancheng and Niu Youdao are colluding?"
Shao Pingbo: "The time when the prince can really influence the political power is after he ascends the throne. Before that, he has to avoid suspicion and is unlikely to seize power wantonly. When he becomes the emperor, he has the support of three major factions, and he has to listen to Niu Youdao. It is unlikely that he will be his own station. After being eliminated all the way, Gao Jicheng is the most likely suspect!"
Shao Sansheng smiled bitterly: "Even if it is him, without evidence, the prime minister of a country, holding great power, cannot be overthrown by anyone's accusation. If this is really the case, a country can be overthrown by just rumors. If the Prime Minister does anything, all the countries will be in chaos."
"This is just a guess on my part. It's still hard to say what the specific situation is. I'm living with my tail between my legs now. I don't have any power or resources. Even if I know what I know, I don't have the ability to implement it. I can't deal with Niu. There is a way to fight. In the period of relying on others and looking at people's faces, you can't even move freely, you can only wait. Now the affairs of Weiguo and Qiguo are very important to me, and it is related to whether I can successfully obtain power. Others There is no benefit in doing too much of the extraneous things now, so just continue to hibernate."
After Shao Pingbo finished speaking, he put down his pen, picked up the paper with only 'Gao Jiancheng' and 'Prince' left after smearing it, and handed it to him, "I have been watching Niu Youdao for so many years, and I have been paying attention to his every move. Did he show his tail and wag it? He can't hide it from others, but he can't hide it from me. I don't believe that he made such a big noise just to vent his anger! Inform Heishuitai and pay attention to whether there is any connection between these two parties and Niu Youdao, especially Gao Jicheng, who has If there is any abnormality, please notify me immediately, which can be considered as a reminder to His Majesty!"
"Yes!" Shao Sansheng agreed.
…
Tong Mo was executed, and the world was shocked!
On the Yanzhao front line, Niu Youdao came. For Shang Chaozong and others, Niu Youdao finally showed up, and they finally saw it.
After learning that "Master Dao" was coming, many Nanzhou soldiers were very excited, which had something to do with learning that Niu Youdao had killed the most treacherous official in the court.
Many people couldn't help but come to see them. Not to mention Situ Yao and others from Jinzhou, Xu Jingyue, the governor of Gongzhou, An Xianzhao, the governor of Tuzhou, Su Qitong, the governor of Haozhou, and Xin Mao, the governor of Fuzhou, who fought with the unified army. , Zhang Hu, the governor of Changzhou, couldn't help but rushed to see this Taoist master, whose name he had only heard before.
After following Niu Youdao for a while in the army, Wu Zhaoxing found that every sergeant he met would shout "Master Dao" excitedly. Wu Zhaoxing suddenly discovered that Niu Youdao's influence in Nanzhou was indeed extraordinary.
Niu Youdao discovered an interesting thing. Many people asked about Tong Mo's execution, and they all scolded Tong Mo, but few scolded Shang Jianxiong, including Meng Shanming and Shang Chaozong.
It seems that no matter how many mistakes are made, they are all the fault of the ministers below. The emperor's faults are all caused by the traitors below. The emperor was deceived by the traitors!
Niu Youdao had to sigh, looking at it this way, Tong Mo's death was not unjust at all.
He couldn't help but think of what Tong Mo said to him while lying in front of the cage before he died. In fact, you and I both know...
After settling in the newly built tent, Fei Changliu, Xia Hua and Zheng Jiuxiao brought people over and brought the three female disciples to apologize.
Although Niu Youdao expressed his intention to be magnanimous, the three factions could not pretend that nothing had happened.
