Red Mansion: Incense and God Road, starting from the City God of Shenjing

Chapter 58: The Thousand Principles of God are the Ultimate
"The capital is not peaceful today. A rebellious group has emerged."

"Your Majesty, be careful of being assassinated if you are parading around like this."

"Come here, follow me to escort the prince back to the palace."

Jia Cong glanced at Prince Yi Zhong.

"Jia Cong, you..."

"Your Majesty, a wise man never suffers a loss in front of him..."

"Let's talk about it after today."

Just as Prince Yi Zhong was about to explode on the spot, he was stopped by a middle-aged scholar among his entourage.

"Okay, I'll listen to Mr. An. I want to see what this kid Jia Cong can do to me today!"

……

"gone?"

"Hurry up, Prince Yi Zhong's Mansion."

"A nine-year-old child has pushed Jiangnan scholars to this extent. This is unprecedented!"

"Marquis Zi Yi has such a murderous nature, I'm afraid today's incident will not end peacefully."

"Hurry back and report to the head of the family that there is a conflict between Marquis Zi Yi and Prince Yi Zhong."

When the spies saw Jia Cong leading the team away, they hurried to follow.

Walking through several markets, far away.

Prince Yi Zhong's mansion is in sight.

"Marquis Zi Yi, I have also delivered it."

"What else do you want to do!"

Along the way, Prince Yi Zhong's face was ashen.

Only then did he speak coldly.

"The prince returned to the palace, but the gates were closed."

"Don't the people in the mansion really take the prince seriously?"

A dark light flashed in Jia Cong's eyes.

Under the eyes of the law.

Behind the closed door of Prince Yi Zhong’s palace.

There are two hundred armored soldiers hiding as guards, including some acquired martial artists.

Further away, there were two innate martial arts auras looming in the distance.

The words fell.

On his right hand, the Shinto seal appeared.

Twenty divine powers were poured in.

The precious seal was thrown into the air and it swelled up in the wind.

"boom!"

A moment later, a loud noise was heard.

The main gate of Prince Yi Zhong's mansion, including the armored guards behind the gate.

All reduced to ruins.

Blood flowed.

"Jia Cong!"

Prince Yi Zhong's eyes were bloodshot.

Facade facade!

The gate of the palace is like a face.

Jia Cong's move.

This undoubtedly crushed Prince Yi Zhong's face under his feet.

"Your Majesty would not think that on that day on the West Mountain."

"You and Shui Rong were watching the show on the mountainside. No one noticed, right?"

Jia Cong smiled faintly and said leisurely.

After saying that, he patted his mount Dabai.

The latter understood and changed direction.

Just as he was about to leave, Jia Cong suddenly remembered something.

He turned around and pointed.

Dozens of sword energies were flying.

Several close followers following Prince Yizhong died instantly.

"A group of traitors have infiltrated Prince Yi Zhong's entourage."

"He has been killed by me."

"withdraw troops!"

After doing all this, Jia Cong led his troops away.

Only Prince Yi Zhong was left standing in the middle of a pile of corpses.

He was so angry that he could no longer hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood.

His hair was disheveled and he looked like a madman.

"Jia Cong, little boy!"

"This king and you will fight to the death, to the death!"

……

On the way home
"My Lord, I'm afraid there will be trouble with this action today!"

Ma Ruyue, the commander of the personal guards, rode his horse half a body length behind Jia Cong.

This is different from Hou Jingyun, who was young and full of vigor and felt that today's killing was a great pleasure.

Ma Ruyue was a mature man and was in charge of the Duke's Mansion.

I'm used to the infighting among the powerful.

Up to now, the hidden dangers are very great.

"First it was the White Deer Book Club, then it was the Prince Yi Zhong's Mansion." "Tomorrow morning court will surely have numerous civil officials impeaching the Marquis, and the Marquis will need to think of a way to deal with it."

"It's okay, they're just a bunch of rats."

Jia Cong shook his head but didn't take it to heart.

"My title and position were conferred by His Majesty."

"Prince Beijing's Mansion, Prince Yi Zhong's Mansion..."

"The grasshopper after autumn has long been a thorn in your majesty's side."

"Those people in Jiangnan are a bit troublesome, but it's also a situation of boiling oil on the fire."

"During the Kaiyuan period, the emperor recruited more gentry from the south of the Yangtze River to maintain the army in the later period of the Northern Expedition."

"But these years, the tail is too big to be eliminated. There are more and more officials from Jiangnan in the court, and the royal family is also determined to suppress it."

"To put it another way, my position as the commander of the Beijing Camp is already a hassle."

"It's a great thing to be able to find a place to practice in peace."

The calculations of the world are clear in my mind.

This is just an external reason.

For ordinary people, a career in officialdom is nothing more than making friends with the powerful and climbing up the social ladder.

But for Jia Cong himself.

What is the essence of Shinto?
They are the people, the believers, and the incense!

Rather than some civil or military dignitaries.

The last time Jia Cong went to the palace, he just took a quick look and was unable to investigate.

But there are also evil practices in martial arts, Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism.

He was able to overpower many third-level strong men and firmly rule the world.

Even the White Lotus Sect, a force with a thousand-year-old heritage, was suppressed like a rat in a gutter, unable to raise its head.

Based on this speculation, the royal family must have its own trump card.

and so.

Within the range that Jia Cong can handle.

The more powerful people he offended, the more the royal family trusted Jia Cong.

Only in this way can we buy enough time for Shinto to develop.

……

"My Lord, you have a great understanding of the world and I admire you!"

Ma Ruyue heard Jia Cong's analysis.

I couldn't help but feel emotional.

Ordinary people only saw Jia Cong as a madman.

In less than two months, he killed countless people and made many enemies.

But how many people can understand it?

After all.

The forces that Jia Cong took action against were all the forces that the current generation wanted to deal with or would have to deal with in the future.

In this case, even Emperor Shunde could not bear the pressure.

The removal of Jia Cong from his official position was only temporary.

The time of recovery is just around the corner.

……

"Your Majesty, today the cabinet has received more than a hundred letters impeaching Marquis Purple Robe."

"What do you think about this?"

Xia Shouzhong reported respectfully.

"Those people in Jiangnan are going too far now. They even dare to openly assassinate the nobles of the imperial court."

"And my nephew, the prince of the royal family and a group of scholars are calling each other schoolmates and trying to win people's hearts. Is it really so urgent?"

"Humph, the palace deserves to be smashed!"

There was anger in Emperor Shunde's eyes.

And a happy look.

As for Jia Cong's massacre of the White Deer Book Society, not a single word was mentioned.

After saying that, he couldn't help but rub his forehead.

"What did the Emperor say?"

"Your Majesty, Chief Steward Dai just came to deliver the Emperor's oral instructions."

"Your Majesty will handle this matter."

"I understand. It seems that my father has long been dissatisfied with those people in Jiangnan."

Emperor Shunde sighed.

"It's just that there will be a quarrel at the morning court tomorrow."

"Your Majesty is the supreme ruler of the world. No matter how noisy those scholars from Jiangnan are, they will not be able to stop you."

"Can it still go up to the sky?"

Xia Shouzhong smiled and said.

"You little dog slave, you only know how to flatter me."

Emperor Shunde cursed with a smile.

Then he lowered his head and looked at the report of Jia Cong's actions today sent to him by the Imperial City Bureau.

"Although Jia Cong acted a little hastily..."

"But he is still loyal to me. It would be good to let him go and find out the background of my nephew."

"I also want to know how many things my elder brother left behind."
