Opposite Gongyang Zeng stood a tall and thin young man, his appearance was quite similar to him. Although he had a horse face, his features were regular and he had a unique charm, but there was a hint of arrogance between his eyebrows. It was he who was in Jinguang Cave in Wudang Mountain. Gong Yangbo, the legitimate second son of the cultivator
Gongyang Bo nodded and said: Fortunately, the boy has lived up to his fate. The immortals have made a decision and are ready to intervene in this matter.
Speaking of this, he frowned slightly: the process was quite strange. When the boy first returned to the mountain to report the affairs of the Mo family to the immortal elders, they did not agree with the Taoist sect, which had always been secretive, directly interfering with the world, and the selection of talents was related to the abolition. The Jin tax has not destroyed the foundation of the clan, and it does not target the descendants of immortals and gods. If you study hard and practice hard, there is no need to worry about being useless.
The duke is the noble, but this is what some nobles call themselves.
Gongyang Zeng touched the long beard that was the most common thing in this era, and said slowly: My father was worried about the reaction of the immortal elders, so he did not act rashly during this period, nor did he place all his hopes on them. What happened later? Changed my mind
The child didn't know the reason. When he was rejected for the first time, his begging was of no use. He felt desperate and could only stay on the mountain and lobby to get close to his fellow disciples. Seeing that the month of January was approaching, he was about to return when he was suddenly stopped by the immortals. He was summoned and told that the proposed reform would indeed harm the gods and gods, and he planned to send someone to intervene. Gongyang Bo still looks confused until now. He has no idea why the immortals suddenly changed their minds.
Gongyang Zengzeng walked around with his hands clasped in his hands, looking thoughtful: No one else visited the Golden Light Cave.
My son has just started working on location, and his master is traveling out of town. He has little influence in Jinguangdong. Without external help, there is no reason why several Jinguangdong elders would change their ways.
No. Gongyang Bo must have shook his head, at least the child didn't understand.
He paused and said: In short, the immortal elders have agreed to this matter and are preparing to send a grandmaster to come with the treasure. However, they have something to say first. The affairs of Chen Di are still within the scope of normal state affairs. The selection of talents can be concentrated on the king to directly rule. The scope of imperial rule did not directly abolish Shiqing Shilu. Therefore, it is unfair to intervene in this matter, and I will not directly use the banner of Jinguang Cave. As for how to do it, I would like to ask my father to show me.
It doesn't matter, I have a plan for my father. Gong Yangzeng gently caressed her with both hands, his expression showing a bit of joy, as if everything was under control.
Gongyang Bo was waiting to ask what his plans were. Suddenly I remembered something and subconsciously lowered my voice: Father. Hai'er heard from his fellow disciples that Chen Di's abolition of the Guanjin tax was highly appreciated by the King of Chu. Several caravans of big nobles had already obtained their first profits from it, and the Tang State had no objections and seemed to acquiesce. It seems that some merchants have tried this change. If we try to correct the chaos, we may encounter other interference.
In just one month, the impact of Chen Di's abolition of Guanjin tax has not yet been fully revealed. However, because it was very close to the two kingdoms of Chu and Tang, especially the capital of Chu, many merchants had already made two trips back and forth and experienced many benefits.
Similarly, it had only been more than two months since Meng Qi came to Chendi to give lectures. Most of the nobles and common people had learned vocabulary such as profit and benefit, as well as weird idioms such as bringing order to chaos.
Hear the words. Gongyang Zeng sighed: It has to be said that the five sons of the Mohist family, especially Su Mo, are unparalleled talents. The words of mutual benefit really refer to the way of getting along between countries and people. This matter is beneficial to Chu and Tang Dynasties, and they are naturally happy. See how it works and get a piece of it. And we can also use our safe place to make secret exchanges.
Hearing his father praising Su Mo and confirming that rashly interrupting the new national policy would lead to interference from Chu and Tang Dynasty, Gongyang Bo said in shock: "Father, what should we do then?"
Gongyang Zeng looked at his proud son lovingly and said with a smile: You are still too young and naive when something you strongly oppose becomes stable. Don't think about fighting it or overturning it, but try to control it, so that you can eliminate disadvantages and gain benefits.
Trying to control it, Gongyang Bo looked at his father in astonishment.
Gong Yangzeng’s expression became solemn: The new national policy will not be abolished, but the people who implement it should not be Su Mo and others, but us.
Since Su Mo said that the general trend of the world is rolling forward, those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish, then we will not fight it, but be its helmsman and take advantage of its momentum to strengthen ourselves.
This male sheep has the taste of his father's words. For the first time, he understands what it means to be an old fox and what it means to be scheming. No wonder he has always been the mastermind among the three nobles.
Therefore, we still have to assassinate Su Mo and the others. Gongyang Bo felt that he should do this, but he was afraid of guessing his father's meaning wrongly, so his tone seemed a bit vain for a moment.
Gongyang Zeng seemed to have heard some big joke, and burst out laughing. Finally he said: Why should we kill them? Kill them. It will be our turn to control the new national policy. And after the last incident of Tian Guang, Su Mo and the others were on guard. It is extremely strict, and the king often watches over them, unless the immortal chief of Jinguang Cave can hold a magical weapon, or a few supreme elders come in person
As he spoke, his expression became serious: But they have a weak point, no, this is what they think is the strongest point, and they often rely on it to get protection, so their defenses are relatively loose.
The male sheep's thin eyes widened: Father, you, you mean the king
King Chen is the Grand Master, the strongest person in Chen. He is often the one who protects Meng Qi and others from being assassinated. His safety is most easily ignored.
Gongyang Zeng nodded solemnly: Only by supporting the new king can the government be returned to our hands. When the time comes, we can expel Su Mo and others who are chasing after him, and the new government will naturally be included in the bag.
He showed no hesitation at all, and the madness of his counterattack stunned Gongyang Bo.
But, but there is a large formation in the palace, the king has the best weapons, and he is also a master. Unless the immortal chief of Jinguang Cave can hold the magic weapon of magic weapons, or a few supreme elders come in person, he murmured to himself and repeated What my father just said.
Gongyang Zeng smiled: This is something that needs to be considered in a head-on confrontation. The Tian family and the Wang family have been running for many generations. How could there be no secret arrangements? Ask the Immortal Chief of Jinguangdong. If you can sneak into the palace quietly and have the help of An Shenxianxiang, How sure is he of winning the king
Tian family, Wang family, An Shenxianxiang Gongyang Bo asked in surprise.
Gongyang Zeng nodded: We have discussed it long ago
Gongyang Bo was startled, and suddenly gritted his teeth and said:
If you still can't win this, then you can claim to be a master.
Da Situ's Mansion is close to the palace, and under the care of King Chen, it appears to be impregnable.
There are no military changes in the three noble fiefdoms, and it seems that there will be no civil war for a while. Meng Qi took the intelligence reports from several Mohists who sneaked into several fiefdoms to find out.
Jiang Zhiwei frowned and said: But they were too quiet and obedient. Except after Tian Guang's death, the three families had a secret conversation. If there is no movement, something abnormal must be a monster. If you don't pay attention to it, you will be in trouble when trouble occurs.
But we couldn't find out what they wanted to do. Zhao Heng said distressedly, it's a pity that the magical power skills that Xiao Meng spied from his clairvoyance memory are semi-incomplete and must be practiced with talent. Otherwise, we can spy on Gong Yangzeng and the others.
After Meng Qi's persuasion. His commonly used title was finally settled on Xiao Meng.
Ruan Yushu suddenly said: Where is the Golden Light Cave in Wudang Mountain
Qi Zhengyan, a nobleman from the Chu State who had good relations with the Tian family, also asked.
Meng Qi looked at the information in his hand: These nobles of Chu State need our special attention, and they will make huge profits. Quite satisfied, he has already sent someone to hint that I will not interfere in this matter.
As for the Golden Light Cave in Wudang Mountain, it is a secret door. Its location is difficult to find and cannot be explored. We only know that Gong Yangzeng’s second son, Gong Yangbo, returned to Wudang Mountain some time ago. He returned yesterday, but he did not follow anyone else, so it is difficult to tell. Jin Guangdong’s attitude.
This also revealed that Zhao Heng looked at Meng Qi in surprise. Even the whereabouts of a strong man on location are well known.
Meng Qi said with a smile: No matter how much we change our Mohist doctrine, universal love and non-destiny will be closer to the lower classes. During this period, they have gained a lot. Therefore, there is no shortage of righteous people from the Gongyang family, the Tian family and the Wang family to pass on the news. ,hey-hey. When Gongyang Bo comes home, he has to rest, practice, and be served. How can he not have any clues
This is the vast ocean of people’s war
It's a pity that it didn't reach this level a month ago, otherwise we wouldn't be able to get a glimpse of the contents of the secret talks between the three families.
In short, be careful over there at the Golden Light Cave. It would be best to remind King Chen to ask King Chu to help explain one thing or two. Unfortunately, he has not seen any benefits before and cannot be appreciated by King Chu. Otherwise, future troubles will be avoided long ago. Zhao Heng was surprised by Mo Zhe's development.
King Chen has no relationship with Jinguangdong, so it is difficult to find people with enough weight to lobby.
Meng Qi said with a smile: That's what I meant.
As soon as he finished speaking, a messenger came from outside. King Chen is invited to discuss state affairs.
What a coincidence. Meng Qi laughed and led Jiang Zhiwei and others towards the palace, leaving Bai Song, Zhao Bai and Wang Qi to preside over the affairs of the Situ Mansion.
The sky was dark, and although the wind was howling, it was suppressed and calm, as if a heavy rain was about to come.
Such weather made Meng Qi feel gloomy, but there was no sign of danger, so he didn't care.
As we walked closer and closer to the palace, there were guards in front of us checking to verify the identity of the visitor.
This is a slightly childish face, and Meng Qi is no stranger to it. Tian Kuo, the youngest son of his former commander-in-chief Kou Tianheng, was tested and recommended as a new ink scholar. He was not an ordinary nobleman.
He is already a young Sikou, why would he come here to serve as a guard
Tian Kuo looked at Meng Qi with a gloomy expression. He lowered his left hand and made a gesture common among Mohists.
It means: extremely dangerous
It's dangerous to walk quickly. Meng Qi was shocked. His Eighty-nine Mysterious Skills didn't respond at all.
Could it be that someone much higher than me has deceived the secret of heaven
That’s why this weather comes
The more critical it is, the more calm Meng Qi becomes. There are changes in the palace. What will happen to King Chen
He secretly used Yuxu's divine calculation to deduce King Chen's safety.
Vague and inconclusive
Ambiguity is the biggest abnormality. Meng Qi couldn't think too much and said to Jiang Zhiwei and others:
I'm afraid it's too late to leave
In an instant, Meng Qi led Qi Zhengyan, Jiang Zhiwei led Ruan Yushu, and Zhao Heng alone turned around and fled with lightning speed.
As soon as the three rays of light emerged, the people sitting in the palace immediately noticed it and stood up suddenly, holding a long bow in their hands, and the golden light condensed into sharp arrows.
In the Situ Mansion, Bai Song was looking at the secret information that had just been sent: the servants of the three nobles discovered that there were strange movements in their respective mansions at night.
Quick, stop Mr. Su and the others. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Wang Qi and Zhao Bai. . If you like this work, you are welcome to support it, it is my biggest motivation.
