The lights in the orange garden are warmer than other places in Kyoto, probably because all the lamps are covered with orange peel.
Xu Yourong stood in front of the window, looking at the orange lanterns in the garden with his hands behind his back, wondering what he was thinking.
Looking at her back, Mo Yu suddenly thought of the Holy Empress.
In those years, the Holy Empress liked to stand on the Gan terrace and look down at the capital, and she also liked to hold her hands behind her back.
Mo Yu felt a lot of uneasiness in his heart.
Will there be another holy empress in the world
She asked, "Why do you want to meet King Chen Liu? What do you want to do?"
Xu Yourong didn't turn around, and said, "It's just reminiscing about the past."
Mo Yu said in a slightly cold voice, "Are you going to the Orthodox Academy to catch up on the old days? Then why did you kill Mei Chuan again?"
"Based on Tang Thirty-Six's behavior, do you think he will let Mei Chuan live?"
Xu Yourong said: "I'm not from the Orthodox Academy, nor from the Li Palace, so I'm more suitable to make a move."
Mo Yu said: "You can understand that you have a deep affection for Chen Changsheng and want to solve his troubles for him, and it can also be understood that you want to intensify the conflict between the old and new factions of the state religion, so that there will be a reunion between him and the Taoist priest." There's no room for relaxation. The question is, what do you think?"
Xu Yourong turned to look at her, and said calmly, "You told Chen Changsheng that you were worried that I would avenge your mother."
Mo Yu said: "I don't believe you will forget, even though you denied it to him."
Xu Yourong smiled and said, "Since that's the case, shouldn't it be right for me to do this?"
Mo Yu said slightly annoyed: "But you should understand that this will bring a lot of trouble to Chen Changsheng. The Episcopal Office is not qualified to ask you to make an explanation, but they can ask Chen Changsheng to make an explanation."
Xu Yourong said: "This is easy to solve."
"Yes, disrespect is enough, because only you and King Chen Liu are present."
Mo Yu looked at her and said with a sneer, "But you know Chen Changsheng well, and you know that with his temperament, he would never do that. So what should we do? He will be forced to become the kind of person he least wants to be."
Xu Yourong said: "He should learn to do this, if he wants to become Pope."
Mo Yu said, "What if he doesn't want to be Pope at all?"
Xu Yourong was quiet for a while, and said, "Then I'll be a saint."
…
…
What happened in Li Palace spread throughout the capital at the fastest speed.
The cleansing of the Bishop's Office was expected by many people, but it was still somewhat surprising that it happened so quickly.
The more shocking thing is yet to come—the loss of power of Archbishop Eulin.
At the beginning, Taoist Baishi was killed in Wenshui City, which left many people shocked and speechless, but there was something hidden at the time, both the court and the priests in the palace kept silent about it, but what happened tonight was witnessed by many people .
Everyone thought that Chen Changsheng was the first thunderbolt after returning to the capital, and they couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion after being shocked.
It is worthy of being the successor designated by the previous pope, and the student of Dao Zun—in the face of Chen Changsheng's purge, neither the Patriarchate nor Archbishop Yulin made any resistance. How many unimaginable means are used.
Just when people thought that the drama tonight would come to an end, another thunder exploded in the night sky of Kyoto.
That was the last sentence Chen Changsheng said.
stop here? What does it mean
Does that mean that this is the end of his purge of the old school of state religion
Does it mean that Shang Xingzhou and the imperial court's temptation to Li Palace must end here
Or... the Pope's position
…
…
Rumors were passed around like the wind, coupled with these thunderbolts, quickly dispersed the snow clouds over the capital.
The sky full of stars looks at the world quietly, and the world also has a sky full of stars.
Thousands of the most devout believers of the state religion walked out of their homes, came to the front of the Li Palace, and knelt on the bitingly cold ground.
They held candles in their hands, which seemed faint, but thousands of them gathered together, but they were extremely bright.
An Hua knelt at the very front, his face paler than the sacrificial robe, and tears could be seen faintly on it.
With more and more believers, there are more and more candlelight, until it becomes a sea of light.
There was no sound of begging, but the atmosphere was so gloomy that crying could be heard from time to time.
…
…
After Bishop Meichuan died in the Orthodox Academy, there were many discussions in Kyoto.
Those discussions were naturally very unfavorable to Chen Changsheng.
Tonight, as the thunderbolts and the sea of light in front of the Li Palace shook the entire capital, public opinion also changed rapidly.
The people had long forgotten what they said at dinner, and looked angrily at the Jiaoshu Office behind Fenglin, the palace on Taiping Road, and even the imperial palace.
These angers that have not yet broken out have made the big shots living in those places extremely vigilant and annoyed.
They were eager to know what happened in Li Palace, and wanted to grasp all the details.
The eyeliner in Li Palace and the digital painters of Tianji Pavilion Star Gathering Realm who are now under the control of the imperial court played a very important role at this time.
In the hall filled with holy light, what Chen Changsheng said while standing at the highest place, the meaning was so clear.
…
…
"Turn the table over and quit, who can this threaten?"
There was a hint of sarcasm on Tianhai Chengwu's face: "Do you think that relying on those mediocre people can make Daoist give in?"
…
…
"This trick uses retreat as an advance method, which is very old-fashioned."
King Xiang rubbed the fat on his stomach, and said with a sad face: "The imperial court can't just demolish this archway, right?"
…
…
Different people have different understandings of Chen Changsheng's words.
For ordinary people, this is because the sage was a little disheartened by the sinister situation.
To the big shots, this was just a means he used to fight against Shang Xingzhou and the old forces.
Regardless of whether they responded with ridicule or felt a headache, the big shots actually felt that this method was very powerful.
Only Xu Yourong and Tang Thirty-Six knew that this was not a means.
Because when Chen Changsheng said that sentence, he really thought so.
…
…
Xu Yourong said: "Doing these things goes against your heart and contradicts your Taoism. It's really hard work."
Chen Changsheng said: "I don't want to do these things myself, so how can I watch you do them for me?"
Xu Yourong said calmly, "Maybe we are the ones who like to do these things?"
Chen Changsheng said: "No one is born to like to kill people, like to fight for power, like to intrigue."
Xu Yourong said indifferently: "When I was born, I didn't like playing mahjong either, but that's because I don't know how."
Chen Changsheng was silent for a while, and said, "Will you be disappointed in me?"
"Of course not, because you don't want to be the pope, you will be a good pope."
Xu Yourong said: "Just like your senior brother, he doesn't want to be an emperor, so he will become a good emperor."
Tang Thirty-Six's exasperated voice came from outside the hall.
"I'm going first." She said to Chen Changsheng.
Chen Changsheng said: "Brother, he is a very close person."
Xu Yourong said, "But I'm not."
Chen Changsheng was stunned.
Xu Yourong turned around and walked out of the palace.
After a while, she came to the imperial city.
She is going to see the emperor.
