I'm the best catcher in martial arts

The weather is cold and the ground is frozen, and everything is in ruins.

Shen Lian was wearing a thick fox fur coat, and Zephyr Siniang was skiing on the thick ice. There is a very, very famous name here in later generations - Ning Guta!

In Qing palace dramas, orders such as "distribution to Ninggu Pagoda and armored slaves" are common, which can be regarded as a cruel punishment second only to beheading, and most of them involve the whole family being exiled.

As long as you are exiled, it will be difficult to come back alive.

In the bitter cold land, all life was extinct. The prisoners sent there had neither cotton-padded clothes nor enough to eat. Even hardened men could not survive three years of wear and tear.

Someone asked here, is Ninggu Pagoda at a particularly high latitude, in the northernmost part of China?

of course not.

From the map analysis of Heilongjiang, Ninggu Pagoda belongs to a low-latitude area. As we all know, the map of Heilongjiang Province is similar to a thumbs up. Ninggu Pagoda is at the little finger, which is the place with the lowest latitude.

Some famous cities, such as Harbin, Jiamusi, Hegang, Qiqihar, and Daqing, are much higher in latitude than Ninggu Pagoda. The famous Luding Mountain is even in the far north, where you can directly visit the furry bears.

It’s just that in this era there is no heating, air conditioning, floor heating, or down jackets. Ninggu Pagoda is already a bitter cold place, and it can be called a desperate place in the north.

Growing up in such an environment, if you can grow up healthily to the age of twenty, your physique will obviously be stronger.

The hardships of ice and snow are no less severe than those of the Gobi Desert and the vast ocean. Many hermit masters like to retreat in the North, some even in the northern polar regions.

On the one hand, you want to be clean, on the other hand, you use ice and snow to hone your internal strength. On the other hand, there are various kinds of natural and earthly treasures hidden in the ice and snow, which can strengthen your foundation.

Logically speaking, martial arts should flourish in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, the Manchu and Qing royal families were very wary of martial arts. There were few martial arts forces in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. Most of them were alliances composed of small families. The real masters were all worshiped by the royal family. There were no large gangs.

Even forces like Shaolin and Wudang did not have branches in the Qing Dynasty. It should be noted that when Kangxi was young, he sent his cronies to join Shaolin and steal dozens of volumes of secret books. Shaolin turned a blind eye to this. It is such a fate. , and they showed no mercy and were not allowed to open branches.

Buddhist temples and Taoist temples can be built, but it is absolutely impossible for martial arts sects to prosper.

There is neither a master nor an opportunity. In such an icy and snowy environment, it is logically impossible for Shen Lian to come to Ninggu Pagoda. Unexpectedly, Liu Banxian'er's plan to kill the god collided with Jade Rakshasa's instructions. Shen Lian took Feng Siniang came out to practice and fulfill her senior's instructions.

It has been a full year since he returned from Xia Ke Island. Shen Lian has been living in seclusion, barely leaving the house, and his bones are about to get rusty!

This trip is definitely coming.

Wu Sidao's plan to kill the God was not directly aimed at Zhu Yuanzhang, nor was he directly sending assassins to kill him.

Of course, Liu Bowen's plan to kill the gods was not directly aimed at Yongzheng, but against the Eighth Prince.

The eighth prince's real name is Aixinjueluo Yinsu, and all of his generation have the character "Yin".

After Yongzheng ascended the throne, he changed the "Yin" of his brothers to "Yun". Therefore, the current eighth prince is named Aixinjueluo Yunsu. This is the name he hates most in his life, more than Aqina and Sai. Sihei!

The name means he is a loser.

Although the Eighth Prince holds a high and powerful position and is known as the Eight Wise Kings in the Manchu and Qing dynasties, he knows in his heart that most of the forces he trusted were eliminated by Yongzheng.

When the forces are almost completely eradicated, Yongzheng will definitely turn against him and throw him completely into the abyss.

The gangsters attached to the Eighth Prince, the Fourteenth Prince Yunhui was deprived of his military power and sent to guard the imperial mausoleum. The Ninth Prince Yunzhen relied on his mother's inheritance and lived happily as a cockfighting lackey, just like "little whirlwind" Chai Jin, and the Tenth Prince Yun was imprisoned and claustrophobic, and has passed away.

The ministers who were once loyal to Yunhu were naturally the emperor's ministers. They either betrayed Yunhu or were eliminated by Yongzheng, leaving only 30 to 40%.

The only advantage that Yunhu had was that the decrees implemented by Yongzheng were good for the people, but not good for officials, especially the sharing of land between peasants, the return of fire to the public, and the gentry working as errands and paying grain, which seriously offended scholars.

Even Li Fu, the top scholar among Manchu scholars and a man with many disciples and former officials all over the world, was almost beheaded by Yongzheng because of this incident. After many pleas, he was eventually exempted from beheading, but he was dismissed and returned home without being hired.

Today's situation in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties is at the most intense moment of the confrontation, and it is also Yunsu's last chance.

Because Yongzheng recently implemented a policy.

Let the children of the Eight Banners, like the Han people, also need to cultivate land, which aroused strong opposition from the banner people.

They could have been left to eat and die, but now they have to work hard to farm. Who can bear this?

Yunhu took the opportunity to contact the four iron hat kings, and wanted to replace the Military Aircraft Department with the Eight Kings' Discussion of Government, in order to check Yongzheng's growing power. Otherwise, as long as Yongzheng survives this game, Yunhu will have no room for improvement.

…

Shengjing, Prince Lian's Mansion.

Yunhu let out a long sigh.

Although he knew that what he was doing was very dangerous and would weaken the foundation of the Qing Dynasty and allow people to take advantage of it, he could no longer retreat. When things got to this point, he could only go upstream, otherwise he would be shattered into pieces.

After many efforts, Yunhu got the support of four iron-hatted kings. In addition, he also got the support of an important minister, that is, Fulongting. However, due to a mistake, his status became lower and lower.

——Nine Gate Admiral Longkodo!

Longkodo was born in the Tong Jia family. His aunt was Empress Xiao Kangzhang, the biological mother of Emperor Kangxi, and his sister was Empress Xiao Yiren, the empress of Kangxi.

According to seniority, Yongzheng had to be called uncle.

At the most intense moment when the Nine Sons were competing for the throne, Longkoduo chose to support Yongzheng. After the success, he gained great power. However, after that, he made bad moves one after another, which made Yongzheng furious and gradually reduced his power.

Longkodo was unwilling to do so.

He was a very gambling person. Since Yongzheng didn't trust him, he bet on the next emperor. He decided to re-support Longting and support the third prince Hongshi.

This is the condition that Yunhu reached with him.

Yunsu had worked hard over the years, and his health was no longer what it used to be. He had no intention of fighting for the throne. He only wanted to fight for some power and become the "executive deputy emperor."

As for the future emperor, Yunhu himself also supported Hongshi, because Hongshi happened to be raised by Yunhu when he was young, and he almost passed him to Yunhu.

Yunhu had no children and regarded Hongshi as his own son.

If Hongshi can ascend the throne, Kangxi and Yongzheng will be slapped in the face in all aspects, because they both think highly of Hongli. When Hongli was very young, he was taken by Kangxi to educate him, as if he was the emperor's eldest grandson!

Yunhu wants to win once.

Not only must we win Yongzheng, but we must also win Kangxi!

"Huang Ama, Huang Ama, why didn't you pass the throne to me back then? I was diligent in government affairs and was a famous Eight Wise King in both the government and the public. Why should the cold-faced king, the Fourth, sit on my head? I don't accept it! Not convinced!"

…

Shengjing, the Imperial Palace.

After Yongzheng finished reviewing the last memorial, he casually asked: "What time is it now?"

Li Dequan, the personal eunuch, immediately said: "It's almost Yin time, Your Majesty, I have something to say that I won't be happy with today. You can't endure it like this!"

Although Li Dequan was an eunuch, his status in the palace was quite impressive. His master was Kangxi's personal eunuch San Dezi. After San Dezi resigned, Li Dequan took his place and became Kangxi's personal eunuch.

He had served two emperors and witnessed with his own eyes the scene of nine sons seizing the throne. In the process, he had also secretly protected certain princes, including the thirteenth prince Yunxiang, who had been imprisoned for ten years. Yongzheng had great trust in him.

Yongzheng sighed: "I want to rest, but the Ming Dynasty is eyeing me outside, and Yunhu and Yunzhen are causing trouble and rain inside. How can I have half a day's rest?"

Li Dequan stopped talking.

There is no way to argue with this matter.

Yong Zheng showed a bit of bitterness: "The closest people to me are you and Lao Shisan. There are some things you cannot say in front of Lao Shisan. His heart is too soft and he cannot see brothers fighting each other, so he can only complain to you a few times. "

Yunxiang was Yongzheng's only confidant. The other brothers were all ministers, but Yunxiang was the thirteenth brother.

Prince Yi Yunxiang is both civil and military. He can lead troops in war and govern the world. He is generous, upright, upright, and loyal.

Yunxiang has many good things, but one thing is that he has a soft heart and cares about brotherhood. When the nine sons took over the throne, Yunxi and others criticized him many times, but he had no intention of revenge, and instead wanted to ease the conflict.

For example, when Nian Gengyao was defeated, Lan Yu led a large army to pursue him. At that time, Yunxiang personally persuaded the Fourteenth Prince Yunqi and asked him to rectify the military affairs.

Unfortunately, Yunqi not only ignored his kindness, but also scolded Yunxiang until Yunxiang vomited blood.

Because of this incident, Yunxiang's health became worse and worse, and Yongzheng hated Yunqi deeply. If Yunqi had not been his half-brother, and his mother had repeatedly pleaded for mercy, Yongzheng would have put him under house arrest until he went crazy.

Yongzheng wanted to deal with Yunsi and others, but it was inconvenient to say this to Yunxiang, so he could only complain to Li Dequan.

The more he knew, the safer he would be on the one hand, and the more dangerous he would be on the other hand. Li Dequan knew in his heart that if Yongzheng died one day, he would inevitably go with him.

Just when Yongzheng was complaining, Qiao Yindi, the personal palace maid, sent a message: "Your Majesty, this is Mr. Wu's message. He asked you to approve it immediately."

Mr. Wu is Wu Sidao.

Wu Sidao was originally a Manchu scholar. When he participated in the imperial examination, he encountered a fraud case and lost his name. He was angry and gathered the candidates to besiege the Gongyuan. As a result, the examiner was dismissed. The other candidates were not guilty, but Wu Sidao became a wanted criminal.

By chance, Wu Sidao became Yongzheng's staff. At that time, Yongzheng was still the lurking Prince Yong, far away from the crown prince.

Wu Sidao planned everything for Yongzheng and made great contributions to Yongzheng's path to seizing the throne.

After Yongzheng ascended the throne, he originally wanted to kill him, but he did not want to give up his talent, so he appointed Wu Sidao as the general manager of the sticky pole, which was equivalent to the commander of the Jinyi Guards.

Most of the time, Wu Sidao kept himself safe, but as long as he sent urgent information, it must be a major event among major events, and Yong Zheng did not dare to neglect it at all.

Opening the kit, I saw it read:

The Eighth Prince colluded with the four iron-hatted kings, fearing that it would be detrimental to His Majesty. Masters from the Ming Dynasty sneaked in secretly, suspected to be related to the matter, and quickly asked Prince Yi to command the troops.

Yongzheng immediately ordered: "Pass the message, Prince Xuanyi enters the palace immediately, Li Dequan, go and ask your master, Master Fayin and Eunuch Wei, I have some business consultation."

It has to be said that the legacy left by Kangxi was extremely poor in terms of the treasury. It was so empty that a mouse could starve to death, but at the level of martial arts masters, it was extremely powerful, and several masters were left to worship him.

The leader is named Wei Tang, who was Kangxi's child and grew up with Kangxi. Back then, he went to Shaolin to steal martial arts secrets, and his martial arts attainments were unfathomable.

Kangxi reigned for sixty-one years. In the first twenty years, the person he trusted most was Wei Tang. After that, Wei Tang practiced martial arts in seclusion. This trust was transferred to Sandezi and Fayin. When these two men practiced martial arts in seclusion, it was transferred to Li Dequan.

In addition, there is Tu Lichen, the number one sword-wielding guard in Da Nei, whose martial arts skills are no weaker than Wei Tang's.

Tulichen was in his prime and in the prime of life.

The remaining three masters worshiped him. The youngest San Dezi was eighty-two years old this year, Fayin was eighty-eight years old, and Wei Tang was over ninety years old. They were all old guys who usually didn't care about anything, and Yongzheng didn't want to invite them.

The reason is very simple. Sandezi and Fayin have quite a relationship with Guo Luoluo, the concubine of Yi, the biological mother of the Ninth Prince Yunzhen. If they are asked to do something, they will inevitably reward Yunzhen and forgive Yunjin for his nonsense.

"Oh! I'm all alone!"

Yongzheng sighed again.

…

Masters of the Ming Dynasty did arrive in the Qing Dynasty. These people were all Jin Yiwei and had nothing to do with Shen Lian.

Shen Lian was at Luding Mountain at this time.

Liu Bowen's plan to kill the god is to break the dragon vein, but this dragon vein is not about Luding Mountain, but the Eight Banners. This is the real core, the real dragon vein.

The most important part is to incite the four banner princes to reenact the "Eight Kings Discussing Government".

Someone here asked, among the eight banners of the Qing Dynasty, the eight kings discussed politics, why were the four banner lords princes?

Because the Eight Banners is divided into two parts.

Three flags at the top and five flags at the bottom.

The upper three banners were under the jurisdiction of the emperor. Yunhu could only win over the lower five banners, five banner owners, and four of them. His ability was evident, and he could not ask for more.

Yunsu's purpose was to wrest the upper three banners from Yongzheng's hands. He, the ninth prince, and the fourteenth prince each occupied a flag master, and the thirteenth prince occupied one of the lower five banners. The power of the four princes remained unchanged. .

Shen Lian came to Manqing to help Yunsi a little while completing his agreement with Jade Rakshasa.

Whether Yunhu succeeds or fails, Shen Lian doesn't care much, and neither does Liu Bowen.

As long as Yunhu chooses to activate, Liu Bowen's plan will be completed, and Shen Lian does not need to participate in these things, and even has time to help Jade Rakshasa clean up the rebellion.

Feng Siniang asked curiously: "Husband, what exactly does Jade Rakshasa want you to do? Why did you go to the Manchu Qing Dynasty to eliminate the rebellion? I received intelligence that there seemed to be civil strife in the Western Region Demon Cult, and Jade Rakshasa was assassinated. "

"Who can assassinate the Jade Rakshasa?"

Of course Shen Lian had read the intelligence coming from the Western Region, but he still asked this question.

Feng Siniang had some doubts, mistakenly thinking that Shen Lian had been in seclusion for too long recently and did not understand the outside world, so she explained to Shen Lian the recent changes in the Western Region.

"Of course it's Gong Jiu from the Power Gang. He assassinated Shangguan Fei last year and escaped from the Langfanyun sword. Although the Jade Rakshasa's martial arts are superb, he has hidden wounds. If Gong Jiu makes a decisive blow and has help from within, he may not be able to escape. The chance of success should be 20 to 30%!"

"What if I told you that Jade Rakshasa's hidden injury was an act? Gong Jiu's end was actually just a lie, a lie that had been laid out for many years."

Shen Lian's words were slightly sarcastic: "Gong Jiu's madness cannot be suppressed. Wu Ming could suppress Gong Jiu before, but now no one can suppress him. Li Chenzhou was worried about this and deliberately let Gong Jiu die."

"Will Gong Jiu agree?"

"Of course, because he needs stimulation. For Gong Jiu, this is the biggest stimulation. At least before Gong Jiu dies, he thinks he is the winner." (End of Chapter)
