The King of Ling Hai looked at the old man who had been like a teacher and a father, and said, "My lady has already changed Chen Changsheng's fate against the sky, why do you still choose to do this?"
"This matter has nothing to do with Chen Changsheng, nor does it have anything to do with senior brother. The choice can only be your own choice."
The Pope looked at the green leaves in the eye pots, and said with regret: "In my life, I always don't know how to choose, and I just drift around like grass with the wind. It was like this hundreds of years ago, and it was also the same thing twenty years ago. So. Brother is right, I am really useless, I always wait until the last moment to act according to my will, but by then it is often too late, so brother and mother broke up, so Zhu Luo and Guan Xingke died, if you calculate it carefully, it should be considered my crime."
Although in the past two years, because of the new students of the Orthodox Academy, His Majesty the Pope no longer supported the new faction of the Orthodox Church. Both the King of Linghai and the Taoist Siyuan had deep resentment towards His Majesty the Pope. There is no malicious speculation, because they are very clear that the state religion has been established for thousands of years, and His Majesty the Pope is a true and pure ascetic.
Hearing these words, the King of Ling Hai and Taoist Si Yuan raised their heads, only to see His Majesty the Pope standing in the holy light, making it impossible to look directly at.
Taoist Si Yuan said painfully: "You don't have to force yourself to make a choice."
The Pope said: "My choice should benefit all beings."
After saying this, he walked out of the main hall of light.
Thousands of priests bowed down like the tide outside the temple.
The Pope looked in the direction of the Mausoleum of Heavenly Books and said, "Why don't we go back together?"
The Holy Empress Tianhai's reply to this proposal was very clear, her voice was very indifferent, full of ridicule, or was it because of disappointment
"Give up the position to these idiots? You are so old-fashioned, so go to hell."
The Pope smiled slightly, knowing that she was not in a good mood at this time, and then shook his head.
The pot of green leaves was no longer in his hands, but floating in the night behind him.
As the night wind blew gently, the green leaves swayed slowly, as if shaking their heads.
As the green leaves swayed, many people appeared one after another in Qingxian Hall, which was still some distance away from the main hall of light. Those people are the strong ones who broke through the state religion retreat, the priests who practiced meditation and enlightened the Tao, and they are used to the life in the world of Qingye, when they were suddenly called out at this time, their expressions were a little dazed, and they didn't know what happened.
After a while, they understood the current situation, and the expressions on their faces suddenly became serious. They joined the priests from various places in the Li Palace, and then left along the Shinto path, scattered around the capital.
…
…
Li Palace finally moved, and the situation in Kyoto was settled.
Liang Wangsun left Lingyan Pavilion. For some reason, the second master of the Tang family didn't kill him.
The Yulin Army began to strife, and the palace was full of fighting sounds. It was not until King Chen Liu took the so-called will of the late emperor and rode into the palace alone that the situation was slightly under control.
Immediately afterwards, several princes followed, and eighteen cardinals led three hundred priests into the imperial city, and the imperial palace finally returned to silence.
The situation in the court is more complicated. The rebel side encountered great resistance. If the Minister of Rites hadn't insisted on going together, maybe the masters of the Ivy Academy led by the head of Tiandao Academy Zhuang Zhihuan would have killed more people tonight. .
The turmoil in Kyoto gradually subsided.
The forces on the rebel side gradually took control of the situation, but the real outcome was far from being decided, because the Tianshu Mausoleum was still there.
There are no troops around Tianshu Mausoleum, and there are no strong monks from various states and counties, because the fighting level here is too high.
People came to Tianshu Mausoleum one after another, even the most inconspicuous ones were all big shots.
Mao Qiuyu came, and with him came a tall and thin old man in Taoist robes and a little girl.
In the night around Tianshu Mausoleum, on the other side of the dry river, hidden strong men from various families and sects gradually emerged.
The second master of the Tang family didn't show up, he left Lingyan Pavilion quietly, and never appeared in front of anyone again. This is the style of the Tang family in Wenshui, when it's time to get paid It will appear again, and not many people will know that the Tang family has played the most important role in tonight's change in Kyoto.
When many people came to Tianshu Mausoleum, the head of the Qiushan family left. On the official road leading to Tiannan, facing the question of enshrining, he thought for a while and said, "There are too many people."
…
…
Chen Changsheng looked at these pictures under the Mausoleum of Heavenly Books, and remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking.
In fact, he himself didn't know what he was thinking or what he should be thinking.
The tall and thin Taoist standing side by side with Mao Qiuyu should be Taoist Ling Baishi, the archbishop. Who is that little girl
That little girl was very delicate, how could she be qualified to stand with these two big figures of the state religion
"Mujiushi, when did you come back from Daxizhou?"
The Empress Tianhai looked at the little girl and raised her brows slightly.
Hearing this name, even though Chen Changsheng was in a trance, he became more sober.
It turns out that this delicate-looking little girl is actually Mujiushi, one of the six giants of the state religion
It never occurred to him that this most mysterious figure in the state religion was so young, and that what he had heard from the Empress Tianhai had anything to do with Daxizhou
Mu Jiushi looked at the peak of Tianshu Mausoleum, smiled a little embarrassedly, and said: "Mother, I was just here to be a witness, so don't be angry with me."
The Empress Tianhai sneered and said, "If it wasn't for fear of being too ugly, even the demons would send people over tonight."
No one answered her words, whether it was His Majesty the Pope who was walking in the night, or Taoist Ji who had just entered Luoyang City.
Because, as she said, it's embarrassing.
The Empress Tianhai knew very well that such embarrassing things had happened many times on this continent, and similar scenes had appeared before.
But she was sure that she would not have such a boring ending like that man.
"The strongest person under the starry sky is still under the starry sky after all. I am the one who wants to break through the starry sky."
When Chen Changsheng heard her voice, he didn't quite understand it, and he didn't bother to think about it.
He is still alive now, it seems that he has successfully changed his fate against the sky, and he can continue to live like this in the future. This is a very happy thing, but for some reason, there is no joy in his heart, and he has lost everything Interest, even the magnificent battle in front of him, which will be recorded in the annals of history, has no interest, and doesn't think about anything.
But when he looked at the black smoke and open flames rising from time to time in the streets and alleys of Kyoto, he was still a little worried.
I don't know how the Orthodox Academy is doing now, those friends who really care about him, how are they doing now.
…
…
Both the Habayashi Army and the Orthodox Cavalry have withdrawn, and it is unknown where they are fighting in Kyoto.
There was silence in front of the National Education College, and there were fallen leaves in Baihua Lane, but there was no one in sight.
After Tang Sanshiliu left, he never came back, and Zhexiu knew very well that it was definitely not because of him.
Thus, Zhexiu also left the Orthodox Academy and sneaked into the night.
All the teachers and students of the Orthodox Academy were awake, standing in front of the library, looking very anxious, some students said that they should go out and find the dean and the others.
"Don't worry about what's going on outside, no one is allowed to leave."
Su Moyu said in a deep voice: "Whoever dares to step out of the gate tonight will be expelled on the spot!"
Hearing these words, the restless students gradually calmed down.
Su Moyu ordered the teachers to do a good job of comforting them after the incident, walked to the gate of the courtyard, and said to Ye Xiaolian, "Junior sisters have worked hard tonight."
Nanxizhai's sword array is enough to make any forces who try to take advantage of the chaos to disadvantage the Orthodox Academy fearful.
After arranging these things, Su Moyu walked to the courtyard gate, looked at the streets and alleys in the night, and heard the sound of fighting in the distance, feeling very heavy.
Chen Changsheng, Tang Sanshiliu, Zhexiu, and Xuanyuanpo had all left, and now he was the only one left in the Orthodox Academy.
He had to ensure the safety of the Orthodox Academy, and that was the only thing he could do.
Ye Xiaolian walked to his side, and also looked into the night, worry was written on her pretty face.
The disciples of Nanxizhai were guarding the Orthodox Academy under the order of the saint, but the saint never came back after going to the palace. The capital is in chaos tonight, is the saint still safe
…
…
After the green bamboo chariot left the capital, it headed south all the way, and it didn't take long for it to travel more than a thousand miles.
I don't know if I feel a little tired, or I feel too boring. On the bank of Tangwang River, the black sheep stopped.
The starlight fell in the clear Tangwang River, was blown by the night wind into countless silver leaves, reflected into the car window, and painted many beautiful silver patterns on the car wall.
These starlights fell on the extremely beautiful faces of Xu Yourong and Mo Yu, but they looked a little bleak, just like their mood at this time.
The wooden hairpin was stuck in Xu Yourong's hair, she couldn't move, she could only talk.
She looked at Mo Yu and said in a low voice, "Did you guess something?"
The palace skirt on Mo Yu's body trembled slightly, it was because her body was trembling.
She looked at Xu Yourong, looking very weak and helpless, not like the girl Mo Da who was usually decisive in killing and attacking in the court, like a little girl who was suddenly abandoned.
"What do you... want to say?"
Both of them are the most intelligent women in the world. As they got farther away from the capital, their hearts became quieter and they speculated more. At this time, they got some kind of confirmation from each other's expressions, so they became more and more frightened.
Whether it's the wooden hairpin in Xu Yourong's hair, or the black sheep staring blankly at the capital by the Tangwang River at this time, and they themselves, it's all proof.
If the Holy Empress had full confidence in the situation in Kyoto tonight, why would she let them leave
Xu Yourong's face turned pale, and said, "Let's go back."
Mo Yu was silent for a long time, and finally did not listen to her opinion, and said: "This is the mother's order, let's go on."
When she said this, her expression was calm, but her voice trembled a little, as if she would cry the next moment.
