What Chen Baxian and others are currently discussing is whether to follow the imperial edict and return military power. Li Ben, who rebelled in southern Xinjiang, is dead. Chen Baxian and others have won a great victory. After returning to the court, Emperor Liang Wu greatly rewarded them. However, at the same time, he was also worried about Chen Baxian's support. Soldiers respect themselves, so they want to take away the military power in their hands.
All generals, including Lu Pingchuan, believed that the military power could not be returned, but if they did not return the military power, it would be rebellion and tantamount to rebellion.
The reason why Lu Pingchuan and others made such a decision was not without reason. In their opinion, Emperor Wu of Liang fanatically worshiped Buddhism and was ignorant and unprincipled. The Shile Shihu of the Jie tribe once occupied the northern region and massacred tens of millions of Han people. Later, Ran Min issued an order to kill the Hus and repay blood with blood, killing all the Jie tribe and almost annihilating the tribe.
As the saying goes, those who are not of my race must have different intentions. Lu Pingchuan and others believed that Emperor Wu of Liang was inviting wolves into the house by accepting Hou Jing. If he returned the military power, he would probably lose even King Qin's ability to save him.
The reason why Emperor Wu of Liang trusted Hou Jing was as absurd as Hou Jing and he both believed in Buddhism. In Emperor Wu of Liang's opinion, people who believed in Buddhism had upright minds and benevolent characters and could be trusted.
Emperor Wu of Liang could not be more confused. The scholar-prime minister who came from a noble family was still beating the drums on the sidelines. He said to Emperor Wu of Liang that "if you embrace all rivers, you will become a sea", and persuaded him to be generous and successful. Great Virtue and Mingjun.
The generals who led the troops in the war were all bloody men, with strong tempers and strong tempers. They did not shy away from speaking. Some scolded Hou Jing for his ambition, some scolded Emperor Wu of Liang for being stupid and immoral, and most of them scolded the civil servants. Not knowing the current situation, you don't know how to lure the wolf into the house, you only know how to do it on paper.
When the generals under his command were filled with indignation and expressed their opinions, Chen Baxian never expressed his position, but he also did not stop him. This was actually his attitude. To scold the emperor was to deceive the emperor. He did not stop his subordinates from scolding Emperor Wu of Liang. In fact, it was already his attitude. The heart of a minister.
After everyone had finished speaking their opinions and calmed down, Chen Baxian stood up and bowed his hands to Nanfeng and saluted, "Please let me know the secret of heaven."
Nanfeng naturally knew what Chen Baxian wanted to hear, which was also the main reason why Lu Pingchuan pulled him over. When encountering major issues that are difficult to decide, people often use divination to figure out the secrets.
Hou Jing, Chen Baxian, and Li Ben are the three blue dragons who came into the world in the same year. Now that Li Ben is dead, Hou Jing and Chen Baxian are still left. One of these two people is bound to replace Emperor Wu of Liang and become the new leader of the Liang Kingdom.
He had never been in contact with Hou Jing and didn't know much about Hou Jing. He only knew that Hou Jing was from the Jie tribe. The Jie tribe was a notorious nation. No bloody person would like an enemy who had massacred his own compatriots.
He did know something about Chen Baxian. This man was very scheming. Back then, the opponent controlled Tianqizi to assassinate Liang Jun coach Yang Jian. Before Yang Jian died, Chen Baxian had never mobilized his troops for effective defense. There was certainly a role in this. The deputy commander cannot give orders rashly, but it cannot be ruled out that Chen Baxian has been waiting for the opportunity to take charge of the army.
In addition, when Chen Baxian and others were trapped in the isolated city that day, it was the joint efforts of Yuqing and Taiqing. Yuqing and Taiqing did not have much interaction in private, but they reached a consensus on their attitude towards Chen Baxian, which shows that they did not want Chen Baxian became the new leader of Liang Kingdom.
Whether Yuqing or Taiqing, the leader may have his own likes and dislikes in his actions, but one thing is for sure, that is, they will never deliberately cause trouble to the world. Since they don't think favorably of Chen Baxian, there must be a reason why they don't think favorably.
Seeing Nanfeng's silence, Chen Baxian begged again, "Please, Master, show us a clear path."
Nanfeng still didn't speak. He was thinking about another thing at this time, which was that both Taiqingzong and Li Chaozong obeyed the same mastermind behind the scenes. What they did was undoubtedly ordered by the mastermind behind the scenes. They were not optimistic about it. Chen Ba started with the green dragon that charged against the sun, while the big-eyed side sent Gao Pingsheng to kill the five-clawed golden dragon.
The mastermind behind the Taiqing Sect once sent a wolf demon to attack the palace, trying to kill Big Eyes. This shows that the mastermind behind the scenes and Big Eyes are opposed to each other.
Therefore, can we infer the other way around, that is, the big eyes are optimistic about Chen Baxian, and the mastermind behind the Taiqing Sect is optimistic about the five-clawed golden dragon
The biggest difference between Qinglong and Jinlong is that Qinglong does not have the destiny to dominate the world. If she is optimistic about Chen Baxian, it means that she hopes that the world will continue to maintain this three-legged situation.
But there is another possibility, that is, the reason why Big Eyes does not want the world to be unified may be because the five-clawed golden dragon supported by the other party will cause harm to the country and the people after unifying the world. You must know that the golden dragon is only the master of the world, but it is not He must be the hero of the world.
Seeing that Nanfeng still didn't speak, Lu Pingchuan turned around and looked back.
"Can we wait until tomorrow to argue?" Nanfeng asked. Only by knowing who the big-eyed opponent is can we possibly know the source of their conflict.
"No, time is tight, we must decide immediately." Lu Pingchuan shook his head.
Nanfeng glanced at Lu Pingchuan, pondered for a long time, and said, "The secrets of heaven are fickle and unpredictable. No one can really understand it. You have already made up your mind about what you want to do. Do what you want to do."
Hearing Nanfeng's words, Chen Baxian felt reassured. He stood up straight and ordered loudly, "Leave the city immediately and command all the troops to return to Jiaozhou."
All the generals responded in unison, and after handing over to Nanfeng one by one, they went out and left.
Chen Baxian walked up to Nan Feng and said, "Thank you, Master, for your guidance. There are wars raging now..."
Nanfeng knew what Chen Ba wanted to say first, so he interrupted him, "I don't want to thank you. General, please take care of yourself."
Seeing what Nanfeng said, Chen Baxian knew that he had no intention of assisting, and he was not forcing him. "In order to avoid something unexpected happening, Chen will leave the city immediately. If the real person comes to Jiaozhou in the future, he will definitely stay for a few days, and let us wait for a while." Landlord friendship.”
Nan Feng nodded.
"General, go first," Lu Pingchuan said to Chen Baxian, "I'll stay and have a drink with my brother."
"Okay," Chen Baxian pointed to the back hall, "It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. Feel free to use the gifts and treat the two masters to a banquet for me."
The two sent Chen Ba out first. On the way back to the main hall, Lu Pingchuan asked in a low voice, "You don't like General Chen?"
"That's not true," Nan Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head, "To tell you the truth, brother, I can't guess the direction of the world."
"It's interesting if you can't figure it out, but it's less interesting if you know it beforehand." Lu Pingchuan said with a smile.
Although the four of them were not afraid of trouble, they did not want to cause more trouble. They did not stay away from the general's residence for too long. They packed up and went out. They bought some food and wine from the city and met Zhuge Chanjuan and Dashan outside the city.
Lu Pingchuan was eager to rush back to the army, so he didn't drink much and got up to leave before noon.
Li Moli preferred to follow Lu Pingchuan, but he needed to stay to treat his illness, so he could not go with Lu Pingchuan. Lu Pingchuan could only leave the marching route and take Dashan away first.
Zhuge Chanjuan had already gone to the city in the morning, exchanged some money, and purchased some medicinal herbs. In the afternoon, she started to treat Mo Li's illness. Tuberculosis was easy to say and could be cured with just two sets of secret medicine. Her right leg was more difficult and could only be treated with an injection. Interrupt and resume.
Fortunately, Zhuge Chanjuan was also able to prepare Ma Fei Powder, and Mo Li did not feel any pain during the whole process. The next morning, the medicine had worn off, and the broken bones were already showing signs of healing.
After dawn, Nanfeng went to Jinding Temple again. The blind old man was still repeating yesterday's work. When he knew he was coming, he put down his broom, took something from the west chamber and handed it to Nanfeng.
Nanfeng frowned slightly when he could clearly see what was in the old man's hand. What the old man was holding was actually a palm-sized wooden box. According to the rules of the Jinding Temple, he could only make a request after accepting the three thousand taels of gold that entered the door. Jinding Temple will later give out the amount of money needed to achieve the goal. What is the purpose of giving a small wooden box now
"Excuse me, elder, what's in this?" Nanfeng reached out and took it.
"The truth." The old man turned and left.
"No need to pay money?" Nanfeng asked doubtfully.
The old man fumbled and took the broom and continued to clean. "What you want is the truth. There is no need to pay for knowing the truth, you only need to bear the consequences."
After the old man finished speaking, he stopped talking.
Nanfeng stood for a moment, put away the wooden box and left the Jinding Temple.
When there was no one around, Nanfeng took out the wooden box and looked at it carefully. There were wooden tenon joints on one side of the wooden box. It was obvious that it was opened. As long as the wooden box was opened, the truth would be known.
After a moment of pondering, Nanfeng slowly opened the wooden box.
There are only three small red characters in the wooden box, Queen Mother of the West...
