Three archbishops of the Holy Church and two thousand apologist cavalry, what a majestic momentum.
Of course, this is the northern border battlefield, and the Songshan Military Mansion has thousands of Xuanjia cavalry under its jurisdiction. If they really want to fight, of course they must fight.
The problem is that Ning Shiwei and his most trusted subordinate officers have all died in the middle of the night in Xueling. People were panicked, and they didn't know whose orders to listen to.
The most important question is, even if someone dares to stand up and command at this time, who dares to take this responsibility
General Chengtao and General Jianxi belong to different camps, and Yongxueguan and Yonglanguan have always disliked each other, but at this moment, facing the strong pressure from the state religion, how can they care about those old grievances? Look into each other's eyes, trying to get some kind of help and support from each other.
King Zhongshan and Tianhai Chengwen no longer looked at each other at this time, because their previous vigilance and worries had become reality.
Three years ago, Zhou Tong was lingering on Snow Street, His Majesty the previous pope returned to Xinghai, Chen Changsheng succeeded him, and then quietly disappeared in the snowstorm.
The capital quickly returned to calm, and the current situation moved forward smoothly. Many people guessed that this should be between the state religion and the imperial court, more precisely, between Shang Xingzhou and Chen Changsheng, a pair of master and apprentice. — As long as he doesn't stay in Kyoto, nothing will happen.
This is the first time in history that the Pope is not in the Li Palace, but is practicing in the world.
Everyone knows that this is actually the pope being exiled.
But no one despises the young pope because of this, let alone laugh at him.
In the eyes of the world, he is willing to stay away for the sake of the overall situation, for the sake of all living beings, and to fight against the demons.
For the next three years, Chen Changsheng really did not return to the capital.
Except for one trace on the snowfield battlefield, no one even knew where he was.
During the past three years, the State Church has also been very silent.
The Li Palace is so quiet, the row of famous stone pillars has become much older, and the ivy on the wall has gathered a lot of dust.
The Caoyue Hall is silent in the twilight, the sweet-scented osmanthus in the Guiqing Palace exudes a honey-like fragrance but there are no bees, the moss is still so dark, and the clear water tiles are as quiet as porcelain after being washed by rain. Many maple trees outside the Jiaoshu Office were moved to Qiuyu, and the Tiandao Temple in the snow was extremely deserted.
Taoist Baishi, the bishop of the Wenhua Palace, Mao Qiuyu, the bishop of the Yinghua Palace, Siyuan Taoist, the bishop of the Zhechong Palace, Yu Lin, the Bishop of the Holy Order, and Ling Haizhiwang, the bishop of the Liuyun Palace. Worldly, outsiders are rare, only Caoyue Guild Hall has no owner now.
Tiandaoyuan and other Ivy five courtyards strictly enforced the rules of the courtyard, and the Taoist halls in various states and counties also performed extremely low-key.
The martial arts performances of all the courts ended without a problem, and even the Ivy Banquet and the Great Court Examination were suspended for three years.
The reason given by the imperial court on the surface was that it was temporarily suspended because the demon army invaded the south and the current situation was tense, but everyone knew the real reason.
The Lingyan Pavilion was turned into ruins by the Holy Empress, and the state religion did not agree to the opening of the Li Palace. What is the point of such a grand imperial examination
It wasn't until late autumn this year, when Xueling ushered in that bloody night, and then in this winter, that the world finally knew some news about the Pope. At this moment, the three state religion giants led 2,000 state religion cavalry suddenly left the capital, and came to the Songshan military mansion in the far north without anyone knowing.
What are they trying to do
This is the deepest vigilance and the greatest anxiety between King Zhongshan and Tianhai Chengwen.
After three years, Li Gong finally stopped keeping silent, and the state religion is ready to speak out to the entire continent again. What does this mean
"Has His Majesty the Pope finally homesick?"
King Zhongshan stood up and said with a slight sarcasm, "If this means the civil war in the Great Zhou Dynasty, that would be wonderful."
Back then, in order to let the Holy Empress spare his life, he did not hesitate to pretend to be crazy and eat shit. He was so cruel to himself, so why would he be afraid
But his opponent today is also a tough guy.
The King of Ling Hai, the youngest of the state religion giants, is a very rare archbishop with military experience. If His Majesty hadn't called him back to Kyoto, he would have been a great general of the Zhou Dynasty. , even more senior than Cheng Tao and Jian Xi.
In fact, if Chen Changsheng hadn't appeared, many people thought that he and Taoist Siyuan were the most likely to become the next Pope.
How can a person like him be afraid of anything? Not to mention, he has endured for three full years in the dark and humid place of Taisuo, and his violent temperament has not been smoothed out, but has already reached the verge of eruption.
"My lord is confused!"
The strong and cold voice of the King of Ling Hai echoed inside and outside the Songshan Military Mansion.
The crowd on the street and some less advanced people in the military mansion felt as if a thunder was ringing in their ears, and they couldn't help feeling a little dizzy.
He stared into King Zhongshan's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "His Majesty the Pope was assassinated, shouldn't the state religion react?"
King Zhongshan's gaze was extremely sharp, and he said, "Is this your reaction to secretly mobilizing the state church cavalry to the northern border?"
"That's right." The King of Ling Hai raised his chin and said proudly, "Because I want to investigate the case."
The Pope's assassination is naturally a huge case, the question is how should this case be investigated
It was the four sentences he said before he entered the Songshan Military Mansion.
The Tianhai family makes friends!
None of the Zhu family and the Peerless Sect can run away!
All the officers and soldiers of the Songshan Military Mansion were captured and brought back to the capital for interrogation in the Li Palace!
The imperial court must give a clear explanation!
If he really acts according to the request of the King of Ling Hai, Da Zhou will inevitably usher in a turmoil.
King Zhongshan remained unwavering, looked at him blankly and said, "If I agree to your four conditions?"
The matter of Xueling had nothing to do with him, although he had thought about taking the cinnabar pill, but he hadn't had time to do it yet.
"That's what the court should do!" The King of Linghai didn't have any intention of backing down because of his words, and said in a deep voice: "But until the Li Palace investigates this case clearly, no one can think of being a member of the Songshan Military Mansion. Commander, because it may affect our investigation."
Tianhai Chengwen sighed, and said, "Unless the person appointed by His Majesty the Pope does it?"
Of course he was talking about Chen Chou.
King Zhongshan's face became even more ugly, and he said, "It's really unreasonable!"
The King of Ling Hai had no expression on his face, just as indifferent as his voice.
"Cinnabar Dan is His Majesty the Pope's sympathy for all beings. Some people in the court are so bold that they intend to seize treasures, and even try to murder His Majesty. Don't you think there is no price to pay? And even if you agree to these four conditions, what's the use of it?" ? Does Xiang Wang dare to agree?"
