I am cultivating immortals in the martial arts world

Chapter 182 Unreconciled Huang Chang
In the third year of Shaosheng (1096).

Song Zhezong Zhao Zhe has been in power for three years.

At that time, the court was still dominated by the old officials of Yuanyou, and as the emperor, he had almost no voice of his own.

But this young emperor is not without means.

The Empress Dowager Gao, who was so popular that someone would push her to the position of "Wu Zetian" as long as she stretched out her hand, used all the political methods and employment methods that she had mastered all her life without any secrets before she died. taught him.

This paved the way for him to appoint reformers such as Zhang Chun and Zeng Bu in the future, and also laid the foundation for him to defeat Xixia and surrender the Tubo regime.

He was an outstanding politician, and one of the very few emperors in the entire Song Dynasty who made meritorious service abroad.

Huang Chang watched all this happen with his own eyes, feeling extremely painful in his heart.

From time to time, he would sigh again and again in the secret room.

In his opinion, this is a Mingjun worth following.

He also felt that if he could follow in the footsteps of this Mingjun, he might be able to become a generation of virtuous ministers who would go down in history.

This has always been his wish.

But a pity.

This is an unfulfilled wish.

Because, ever since Zhao Zhe, the Mingjun whom Huang Shang identified as the Mingjun, took over the power a little bit and gradually took control of the power in the court, Fan Chunren, the Prime Minister who sent him to lurk in the rivers and lakes, has become farther and farther away from the center.

The occurrence of these things once made Huang Chang lose hope.

It also made him no longer put his heart into the plan that Fan Chunren had made at the beginning...to unify the forces of the world, and he became depressed.

However, Huang Chang's sadness did not affect the progress of the plan to unify the rivers and lakes.

On the contrary, because of his disregard, those people had greater freedom. In addition, Fan Chunren also had some political capital after all, and the court took care of some of the people he recruited.

However, animals that lose their cages will directly become wild beasts.

Because he didn't care about world affairs, the fire of ambition in the hearts of Jiang Shaoyang, Zuo Changsheng, Zhu Xiawu and others gradually ignited.

These ambitious people got together to discuss, and directly used Huang Chang's identity to lay a large foundation for themselves.

Then, people like Zhu Xiawu chose to hide even deeper.

For example, Zhu Xiawu himself, on the surface he is the god catcher of the six doors, but secretly he is the well-known King Zhu in the world.

There are many similar people.

Others, after using the imperial court, kicked the imperial court away directly, and were not prepared to let these people grasp their own rights at all.

When Zhao Ji succeeded to the throne, Fan Chunren was restored, and he became a scholar of Guanwendian, Huang Shang gradually had hope in his heart.

He looked back and saw that all those ambitious people had become popular, and even threatened him in turn...

For example, if you, Huang Chang, dare to come and snatch my rights, I will kill your whole family, and he will not know much about it.

out of control.

Yes, all are out of control.

Including himself.

Frustrated, he begged Fan Chunren to let him return to the court, and solemnly stated that he really wanted to make a career out of it.

Fan Chunren was full of promises.

But when he really did it, he told Zhao Ji that he had an eye disease and went straight home to retire.

At this moment, Huang Chang was completely at a loss.

At this time, he has almost lost all his life goals... After all, his life goal is to be an official.

Otherwise, it would not be possible to study hard and get the top score in the exam.

In terms of reading, he worked very hard.

However, the things in the martial arts made him unable to think about it at all.

Fan Chunren's departure hit him hard, and also made him feel angry.

At this time, Xu Zhu announced that the martial arts conference will be held, and the throne of martial arts supreme will be handed over to Huang Chang or Dugu Qiuxian.

pick one of two.

Huang Chang felt that the Martial Arts Supreme would not fall on him 100%.

Because, I will deliberately lose.

This is the beginning of his revenge.

He will definitely let Fan Chunren know that he is definitely not a tool to be thrown away after use.

He also wanted to let those in the court know that he, Huang Chang, would never make a tool.

Don't you all want me to win, let me sit in the position of martial arts supreme and do things for you?

it is good!
Then I, Huang Chang, will lose to Dugu Qiuxian, let's see if you are angry.

As a result, he used almost the means of revenge that children would only have when facing their parents.

But at any rate, Huang Chang had been in the officialdom, and he wanted to save face after all.

So in the fight, he put out [-]% of his strength, and only waited for Dugu Qiuxian to make a big move before admitting defeat.

At that time, the court will not be too harsh on him...

I have to say that Huang Chang's style of doing things really doesn't fit the Jianghu.

After all, there really aren't that many rules in the arena. If you want to lose, you have to lose openly, or start acting right at the beginning.

But he has been in the officialdom, so he has to pay attention to rules in everything.

So, he won.

At this moment, Huang Chang not only won the duel in frustration.

I also saw that Dugu Qiuxian was the first one to salute him very shamelessly, and firmly stated that he, Huang Chang, would be the supreme martial artist from now on.

This seems to be a kind of irony.

Unfortunately, he couldn't find any reason to object.

Huang Chang was thinking, if he didn't admit it, would those who controlled him in the court directly believe that he was dereliction of duty?
At that time, maybe I won't be able to return to the court for the rest of my life, right?

He can only admit it.

Can't object.

Looking at Dugu Qiuxian who didn't talk about martial arts, Huang Chang rolled his eyes at the latter, wanting to tell him that he had already seen through that little trick.

It's a pity, after Dugu Qiuxian saluted, he left with his sword in his arms.

Looking in that direction, it should be Vulture Palace.

Huang Chang was taken aback.

When he came back to his senses, he looked at the people in the martial arts field who bowed to him, and suddenly recalled the competition in the third year of Shaosheng in his heart.

Wouldn't that be aimed at me specifically?
He thought so.

At first, why only officials from Fujian participated?
Why wasn't Fan Chunren surprised at all when he saw him?
Why didn't Zhezong even ask?

Huang Chang suddenly had a feeling that all of this seemed to be a conspiracy.

A conspiracy that was designed long ago, waiting for him to jump in, and aimed specifically at him.

Of course, there was a premise that made him shake all these doubts out of his head in an instant.

He is the champion!
As a number one scholar, isn't it normal to do something that ordinary people can't do?

That's what he thought.

Because, Huang Chang always felt that the most suitable place for him must be the court, not the rivers and lakes.

But he never thought about how to be a good official as an official...

He probably wouldn't have thought that it was precisely because he didn't know how to be an official that he couldn't return to the court.

If he knew, he would probably vomit blood and die.

……

"no!"

"I can't be their tool!"

"Even if I become the Supreme Martial Arts Master, I will never become a tool they want to use at will!"

Looking back blankly.

Huang Chang once again thought of his purpose...

He wants to take revenge on those nobles in the court!

If this bad breath came out, Huang Chang felt that even if he died, he probably wouldn't be able to close his eyes peacefully.
