Zhu Haojun lowered his head and fell into a long silence again.
Yin Yang wanted to grab his hand, but he raised his hand in the air and slowly put it down, saying, "What is your relationship with the Lord Ziwei?"
Zhu Haojun clenched his fists fiercely.
Yin Yang looked at this little act of his lover and let out a helpless smile: "It seems that I guessed it right."
"Teacher." Zhu Haojun finally said, "I'm sorry."
"Nothing to be sorry." Yin Yang said, "I knew it very early."
Zhu Haojun was stunned: "Teacher, you... knew it a long time ago?"
"Originally I thought you were sent by the priest of the seven kills, but later I found out that your character is not compatible with the monster Hitomi. He likes the kind of fierce apprentice. You are too warm. Then I guessed it might be Lian. Zhen priest Huayue's men, but after Huayue came to Chang'an once, this inference was also denied by me."
"Other priests such as Breaking the Army, Greedy of Wolf, Kaiyang, and Giant Sect, are not like people who can cultivate your personality, so guess and guess. The final suspicion can only fall on Ziwei Zun. Come on. Then something happened that made me believe in my own judgment more and more."
Zhu Haojun murmured, "Four Saint Beast Array?"
The Four Sacred Beast Array, that is, Chang’an’s Great Moat Array!
Yin Yang nodded: "Ordinary people are not interested in the great defense formation, and there is only one place in the world that wants to destroy the great protection formation, and that is the temple. This formation hinders the radiance of the goddess’ light and hinders it. The temple enters the Great Tang. If you want to bring the Great Tang completely under the jurisdiction of the temple, breaking the great defense formation is the most direct and effective way."
"According to Zun Ziwei's plan, I originally wanted you to enter the academy, because the great defense formation is in the hands of the third master of the academy. If you want to get the center of the formation, you must get the true biography of the third. However, your talent is not enough. In order to allow you to enter the second floor of the academy, and your belief in the temple is too pious, even if you get into the academy by chance, there is a high probability that you will be exposed."
"So your final choice is to come to Wangbei Tower, borrow the identity provided by Wangbei Tower as a refuge, and look for the front line in Chang'an City. If you don't get the hub, then you will directly destroy the front line. This should be your plan. Hao Yun."
Zhu Haojun had already burst into a cold sweat.
He has been cautious over the years, for fear of revealing flaws in his horse's feet, and he is obedient to Yin Yang. Since his talent is limited, he will make up for it from other sources.
The facts proved that he did a good job, at least Yin Yang did not see any "vulnerabilities", he also taught his skills, and vaguely expressed his intention to pass on the position of the national teacher to him.
Datang’s national teacher is nominally appointed by the royal family, but in fact it is still taught by the master and apprentice. The royal side just looks like and will not really interfere with the change of authority of Wangbei Tower.
Of course, this does not mean that the position of the national teacher can be fooled, the necessary rigor is still needed.
In essence, Zhu Haojun is not the best candidate for the national teacher. Li Hong also discussed this issue with Yin Yang when he was alive, but Yin Yang was very insistent. He told Li Hong that although Zhu Haojun was talented, he was extremely capable of doing things. Strong. Wangbei Tower doesn't need a talented national teacher, but it needs a national teacher who can help his Majesty share his worries.
Li Hong was persuaded by this reason, and also acquiesced in Zhu Haojun's identity as the next national teacher.
"Teacher, you have already guessed these,
Then why do you still recommend me to be a national teacher to your majesty? "Zhu Haojun asked.
Yin Yang said: "Because Wangbei Tower belongs to the temple after all, belongs to the Taoist gate, not to the Tang Dynasty. I can serve the Tang Dynasty and serve the Emperor Tang, but my heart has always been towards Garan. Don't forget. The place where we are now is called Wangbei Tower. We are in Datang, and my heart is in Jialan."
"After all, your majesty is still bewildered by beauty. If it is not my race, his mind will be different. Wei Wan is a member of the Xinggong Pavilion, and her son is the remnant of the Demon Sect! How can the Tang Dynasty be handed over to this person? So I helped Concubine Gao to correct the will, and I will also pass on the status of the national teacher to you. I just hope you can protect Datang and move on."
"Hao Yun, you must remember that the temple can come to the Tang Dynasty, but the temple cannot replace the Tang Dynasty. This is the last requirement for you as a teacher. The seven kingdoms of the Great Wilderness, and the other six countries can have none, but you can't live without the Tang Dynasty! Destroyed, the wilderness will fall!"
Zhu Haojun frowned, obviously not paying attention to what Yin Yang said.
But he was hiding very well, and Yin Yang was already very tired, so he didn't see Zhu Haojun's disdain at this moment.
"Disciples, remember the teacher's teachings." Zhu Haoyun said.
Yin Yang started to cough and coughed quite badly, giving people a feeling of coughing alive.
After a cup of tea, Yin Yang's coughing slowly stopped, and he looked even older, unable to stand still. Zhu Haojun hurriedly helped him sit down.
Yin Yang leaned against the wall, his breathing became very slow, and his eyes began to loosen. He grabbed Zhu Haojun's hand and said, "The most powerful guardian of the Tang Dynasty is dead, and the great defense formation can only protect you. Living in Chang'an, the next war is unavoidable. The temple, the Six Kingdoms and even the barbarians on the grassland will attack Datang. The behemoth of Datang will encounter the dilemma of its previous actions, and there is no hope of victory. . It will lose, or even lose very ugly."
"But I said before that the Great Wilderness cannot live without the Great Tang, and it must be a complete Great Tang. If the Great Tang was torn apart like the Jin country back then, the Great Wilderness is about to lead to the real end. Haoyun, since you are Ziwei Those who are noble, must be able to speak in front of the noble, and tell the noble for me, and wait until the goddess’s light shines through the Tang Dynasty, then they will not be able to fight."
Zhu Haojun said solemnly: "The disciple must bring the words to you, please rest assured, Master."
Yin Yang looked at the sky and murmured: "Your Majesty, the old minister has failed your trust."
After speaking, swallow one last breath.
…
Rumble!
There was another thunder, and the rain still showed no signs of stopping.
Chang'an City, a city that has existed for hundreds of years, even exudes a moldy atmosphere.
In the moldy breath, there was still a faint sadness shrouded in it.
White and green are hung up on the door of every household.
The people of Chang'an City are paying homage to the emperor who has just died.
Li Hong was a good emperor and was loved by the people.
Therefore, his death also made the people extremely sorrowful. Apart from the sound of rain in Chang'an City, it was the people's sorrowful cry.
Today is the day when His Majesty the Emperor is going to die, and it is also the day when the will be announced.
A hundred officials gathered in the palace hall of the imperial city.
Li Hong's personal eunuch stood in front of the temple with the imperial edict, waiting for the final reading time.
When auspicious time arrived, the eunuch took two steps forward.
Religiously opened the imperial edict.
Then he was stunned.
Concubine Gao Gui could not help being a little anxious, she suppressed her voice and shouted, "Remember, what do you do in a daze."
The eunuch squeezed both ends of the imperial edict, and the knuckles turned white because of too much force.
When the imperial edict was read, the expressions of the various officials were different.
There is joy, doubt, surprise, and indifference.
Concubine Gao Gui was overjoyed. For this day, she waited for thirty years!
The Queen Weiwan had no expression, and was unhappy, but she could not see the loss.
The prince Li Tong walked out of the crowd. After stepping on the hall, the eunuch immediately came over and helped him take off the outer cover. Inside was a newly sewn dragon robe!
This is well prepared.
However, no one dared to raise questions at this moment even if there was confusion in his heart.
Li Tong's gaze slowly swept over Baiguan, staying on the face of the queen Weiwan for a little longer, and then he slowly walked towards the dragon chair.
Datang ushered in a new emperor!
Concubine Gao Gui knelt on her own initiative and shouted, "Long live my emperor, long live long live."
The others knelt down and cheered loudly.
The news of Li Tong's succession soon spread throughout Chang'an, followed by the entire Datang, and finally the entire Great Wilderness.
According to the practice of the Tang Dynasty, the newly enthroned emperor needs to visit the master in the academy, and only the emperor who has been approved by the master can be regarded as truly holding that position.
However, this convention was directly broken by Li Tong.
He didn't mean to go to the college at all.
The academy did not congratulate the new emperor on his enthronement.
Sensitive people have a foreboding that a storm is coming.
For many years, the Academy has been the strongest backing of Datang, but Li Tong has no interest in this shield.
The relationship between the academy and the royal family of the Tang Dynasty has been cracked.
And this crack is so big that it may break directly at any time.
The attitude of the academy is not to be mentioned for the time being, Wangbeilou did not even send anyone to the new emperor's ascension to the throne.
Could it be that Wangbeilou is also dissatisfied with the new emperor's ascension to the throne
If this is the case, then the origin of Li Tong's throne is very questionable.
His Majesty's will was written by the national teacher himself, and it is almost impossible to tamper with it. If it is to be tampered, only the national teacher has the ability.
So a minister came to Wangbei Tower, and wanted to let the national teacher Yin Yang come out to explain the matter of the will.
This minister belonged to the Queen's faction. In their opinion, the throne should have belonged to the Sixth Prince Li Xuan. It was almost impossible to have any objections, but Li Tong was the one who finally boarded the Dabao, and the problem was very serious.
Only Yin Yang can explain the matter of the will.
However, what the minister did not expect was that the person who walked out of Wangbei Tower was not Yin Yang, but his great apprentice Zhu Haoyun.
This person who has always been taciturn, wears a line of filial piety at the moment, looks sad.
"The national teacher has passed away."
To the minister, Zhu Haojun announced the news of Yin Yang's death.
"From today onwards, I am the new national teacher of Datang and the new owner of Wangbei Tower." Zhu Haojun continued.
The minister felt a little dizzy in his head.
It's messed up, everything is messed up!
Sudden changes may come at any time in the sky over Chang'an City, where a thick cloud has enveloped it.
