"All the Taoist cultivators in the city are bloody because of you, but I have no right to punish you," Chen Xuanzhen smiled bitterly at Ge Xuanqiao again, "The situation in the capital is indeed as this kid said, but you are still blaming me for not doing anything. ? I wrote a statement, but they were all rejected; and the heroes of Dong Liang all intend to connive and take advantage of the refugees, what dare you, Mr. Ge Dao, say anything?"
The undercurrent in the palace mentioned by Chen Xuanzhen is no longer a secret in Gyeonggi Province. Chen Hai didn't pay attention to it before, but the second day after entering Qintong Pass, he figured out what was going on.
Prince Yingdan has entered the Taoist Realm. In addition to supervising the state affairs, he is also in charge of the Taiwei Mansion and the military power of the Eighth Army. However, he dare not bear the eternal infamy of killing his father and usurping the throne.
Dong Ning was also accompanied by two maids in the Spiritual Realm, and together with Su Ziling and them, it was indeed possible for six people to work together to boil the pot of water.
"You are so picky!" Chen Xuanzhen said angrily. He waved his hand and a stream of green energy spread out from the wide sleeves of his robe and enveloped the peach forest...
Although Emperor Yitian and Prince Yingdan are father and son, imperial power is like poison. Prince Yingdan already has the imperial power, so how can he be willing to give it back
The eight tribes and ministers of the capital and the main generals of the eight tiger armies almost did not think that Emperor Yitian could escape this disaster. The transfer of imperial power to Prince Yingdan was only a matter of a few days sooner or later.
Anyone with a discerning eye also knows that once Prince Yingdan is returned to the imperial power, in order to eliminate the threat to himself, Emperor Yi Tian, even if he does not abolish Prince Yingdan's position, will eliminate Prince Yingdan's direct lineage from the various tribes and the Eighth Army. go out.
"Although it's not as good as the hundred-mile peach grove in Shenling Mountain, it's still quite impressive!" Ge Xuanqiao laughed and said, "I really want to chop down those ancient peach trees that are said to have been planted by Emperor Yu in Shenling Mountain. Firewood!"
Qintongguan City was closed, and millions of refugees were allowed to gather outside the city without moving.
"It is impossible that Yanjing officials did not take the suffering of the hungry people into their eyes, but everyone knew in their hearts that no matter who wins in the end, Emperor Yitian or Prince Yingdan, relieving the victims and caring for the world is a matter of gathering people's hearts and rebuilding Emperor Wang's great merit. Therefore, everyone knows that the relief of the victims must wait until the Emperor Yitian and the Prince win the pill to decide the outcome. In Men Gaoxiu's eyes, even if the world is full of refugees, hungry people, and ants, they are unable to shake the foundation of the Yan Empire. Even if there are refugees who cause rebellion, in the end it will only be a trivial matter of sending an elite force to exterminate them."
Chen Lie laughed and said, "Haier is lazy. It's not easy for the three of you to boil this pot of water. Let Zi Ling and others help you!"
Chen Xuanzhen stopped in mid-air, turned around and looked to the north. His distant gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the peach forest and see the suffering of tens of thousands of refugees gathered on the river beach several miles away.
As a result, the palace became more and more quarrelsome, and the conflicts became more and more intense, so much so that for nearly a year, no imperial edicts were sent out from the palace, and the Yan Empire just continued to maintain its normal operation.
Facing such a considerate senior expert, Chen Hai also respected him in his heart, took the pill and said:
Chen Hai has never met the old owner of Taohuawu. The land deeds were handed over by Zhou Jingyuan to the former steward of Taohuawu. The ten acres of peach groves beside the river beach seemed to have existed for many years before the farm was reclaimed. The branches of the peach forest are knotted together, as if they have grown for hundreds of years.
Neither Dong Ning nor Chen Qing knew how heavy the Tunjiang Pot was at this time. Tu Ziji placed the Tunjiang Pot on the red clay stove and went into the peach forest to cut mahogany wood for firewood.
No one would believe the refugees outside the capital if they said there was no connivance from the powerful feudal lords in the counties.
Looking at the appearance of Ge Xuanqiao and Chen Xuanzhen, it seems that they also played chess near this peach forest in their early years. In the peach forest, there are also many peach trees left behind by thunder and lightning, which are the so-called mahogany trees.
"Then I still have some ideas." Chen Xuanzhen turned sideways to listen to what Chen Hai said.
Chen Qing also didn't expect that the meeting ceremony for the Academy's grand wine ceremony would be so lavish, and asked: "When we boil this pot of water, we also have a meeting ceremony?"
"Thank you Master Chen!"
"You kid, what else can you think of?" Chen Xuanzhen seemed to have a pair of poisonous eyes that could peer into people's hearts. Chen Hai could detect even the slightest emotional changes in his heart.
Chen Lie said this before, Tu Ziji might not be convinced, but now even if he guessed that Chen Hai might just be born with supernatural power, Tu Ziji didn't dare to underestimate it, and said with a smile: "We still have six people available here, I hope we can Make good tea for Uncle Ge and Uncle Chen in time..."
"Juniors don't dare to have any ideas." Chen Hai said carelessly.
Even Prince Yingdan himself exercised imperial power as a matter of course. For more than ten years, he had made meticulous arrangements for his close relatives to take over the power of Tianshu Yuan, Taiwei Mansion, Dali Temple, Shaofu Supervisor and other ministries, as well as the Huben Eighth Army; Those civil and military officials who were not from Prince Yan's lineage and were unwilling to be tamed were gradually pushed out of the capital.
The Dragon Tiger Vein-Flowing Pill that he had taken before had been refined on the way eastward. Chen Hai didn't have much research on chess, so he couldn't leave at will while he was with him, so he simply swallowed the Dragon-Tiger Vein-Flowing Pill and slowly swallowed it. Slow refining.
After the rise of Wuwei Army, its momentum was much stronger than that of Hexiang Army. Emperor Yitian and the Crown Prince won the pill. No matter who wanted to win in the end, they would pay more attention to the support of Wuwei Shenhou. Therefore, Wuwei Army and Hexiang Army sent envoys to Beijing to confront Wuwei. The army has occupied an invincible position.
If it were older, those mahogany trees that have grown for thousands of years could be used to refine yellow-level magic weapons.
"If you dare to say this in front of Wei Ziya, Wei Ziya will probably peel off your skin. The most precious ones in Shenling Mountain are the ancient peaches." Chen Xuanzhen said with a smile.
When Chen Hai saw that Ge Xuanqiao suddenly turned the topic to the tens of thousands of refugees gathered in the north of Taohuawu, he knew that he still sympathized with the refugees and hoped that Chen Xuanqiao, as the great sacrifice for the academy, could promote the pension and relief work.
Listening to Chen Xuanzhen's words, it seemed that the Yao family was also the main force suppressing the relief efforts for the victims. Chen Hai did not dare to be arrogant in front of Chen Xuanzhen, and said politely: "Chen Hai said something arrogant, please punish me, senior."
There was a turmoil in Yanjing, Emperor Yitian and Prince Yingdan were at loggerheads, and the powerful vassals in the counties wanted to take advantage of the situation for their own selfish purposes
The bad thing is that Yitian Emperor Dao actually re-cultivated the broken Dao Pill the year before last. His body is getting better day by day, so he naturally wants to regain the imperial power from Prince Ying Dan.
It happened to be a year of great disaster, and the palace was in a stalemate, and the prefectures and counties were at a loss. In the end, no provisions for famine relief were even sorted out, and no one thought about relief for the victims.
Chen Hai's words were extremely rude, and Chen Xuanzhen's expression changed slightly no matter how well-educated he was, because he was also the high Taoist cultivator Chen Hai accused.
"Wei Ziya has lived for thousands of years, and only a handful of old bones are left. He is afraid of being punished by God. He has been hiding in the underground palace of Shenling Mountain for many years as a tortoise and dare not show his head. What is there to be afraid of?" Ge Xuanqiao curled his lips and said, "They say you are crazy. They never thought that you would be the grand priest of the school. Your courage is getting weaker and weaker. Did you just look at these refugees in the north of Taolin? Did you really feel unmoved?"
This is the embarrassing situation currently facing the huge empire.
Chen Hai also has his own thoughts on the situation in Yanjing these days. He knows that whether it is Emperor Yitian or Prince Yingdan, there should be a group of people who support each other to fight in secret before the stalemate continues; otherwise, the general Dong Dong Liang would not think of sending an envoy to Beijing to resolve the dispute with Hexiang's army.
At this moment, Chen Hai felt that under the influence of this green and gloomy energy, the earth energy was like a dragon and a snake rising from the land. Wisps of yang energy surged out from the ground and rushed toward thousands of century-old peach trees. Soon, Seeing these peach trees sprouting buds, branches and leaves at a speed visible to the naked eye, a green color was covered in the heavier and heavier goose feather snow, and the peach blossoms bloomed immediately.
After taking two Dragon and Tiger Vein Cutting Pills in succession, the secret injury to the orifice caused by the depleted cultivation was almost healed. Chen Hai no longer had to worry about the possibility of easily exposing the secret of the Rakshasa blood refining method.
After a while, Chen Xuanzhen's expression calmed down, and a layer of sadness emerged. He pointed at Chen Hai and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Why did Mr. Yao have such a freak like you? No wonder Mr. Yao wants to expel you."
Su Ziling and the two maids next to Princess Yuecheng glanced at Chen Hai, both thinking that Chen Hai was good at cutting wood and was suitable for the rough work of chopping wood. However, Chen Hai was completely indifferent. Fortunately, Tu Ziji was gentle and elegant, with a hint of resentment in his eyes. The three daughters went to the peach forest to look for mahogany trees; while the two daughters Dong Ning and Chen Qing stayed behind to sort out the matters of boiling water and making tea.
Ge Xuanqiao was slightly startled. He didn't expect the situation to be like this. He was indeed not qualified to accuse Chen Xuanzhen of not doing anything in Yanjing!
Such an overall situation is no longer something Ge Xuanqiao and Chen Xuanzhen can interfere with.
At this time, some fine snow was falling from the sky, and Ge Xuanqiao said to Chen Xuanzhen, "There are no peach blossoms in this windy and snowy day, and the taste is a bit lacking! I may not be able to wait for the mountains of peach blossoms in the academy, I’m going back to Taiwei!”
And Chen Xuanzhen took out the Dragon Tiger Cutting Pill as a meeting gift. On the one hand, he was generous, and on the other hand, he probably knew that he was the abandoned son of the Yao family.
But when Chen Xuanzhen said that not many people thought about the suffering of the victims, Chen Hai laughed in his heart.
Prince Yingdan even couldn't wait to ascend the throne and give Emperor Yitian the title of Supreme Emperor and control him in the deep palace compound.
"There is an undercurrent in the palace, but no one thinks about the suffering of the hungry people. The spring famine after the new year is the most difficult time to endure, but I don't know how many old, weak, women and children will starve to death in the wilderness." Chen Xuanzhen sighed bitterly and placed the stone on the chessboard. There was a faint sound of clashing golden swords, and he sighed, "My name is Xuegong Dajiu, but I can't say anything to move Tianshu Academy. If my heart is moved, what can I do?"
More than ten years ago, Emperor Yitian led a million troops out of Tielulingling to personally conquer Jinzhou. Although he defeated the Qiang coalition forces in Jinzhou and made the Qiang barbarians in the west of Jinzhou surrender, Emperor Yitian himself was severely wounded and in danger during the new expedition; he returned. After Yanjing, Emperor Yitian urgently needed to retreat to survive, so he appointed Prince Yingdan to supervise the country.
Gyeonggi is located among the hundreds of counties in Yanjing, stretching 1,800 miles from north to south, and has eight major passes. Since Qintong Pass is blocked by millions of refugees, Chen Hai believes that the situation at the other seven passes will not be much better. !
Since Master invited Chen Lie to sit down and said that Chen Lie would be a figure of their generation sooner or later, Tu Ziji treated him as an elder.
As a general and military attache in front of Wuwei's military tent, Chen Hai would naturally not discuss Dong's plan. However, Chen Xuanzhen insisted on telling him to continue. When he saw Tu Ziji taking Su Ziling into the peach forest to cut down mahogany trees, at this moment Except for Yuecheng Princess Dong Ning and Chen Qing, there was no one else, so he said:
