Taiping Inn

This time, Emperor Tianbao did not throw the "Qianliwang" in his hand into the lake, but held it tightly in his hand.

After a while, the young emperor slowly said: "What a great Mr. Qingping, what a great Mr. Qingping. If you don't know, you might think it's the emperor coming. The chief pen of the Silijian, the prince, seeing him is like a mouse seeing a cat."

Mr. Bailu didn't speak.

Although the Confucian people have a superior status, he doesn't want to provoke the little emperor in such a matter. A young man has been the crown prince of a country since birth, and everyone keeps telling him: "You are the future common ruler of the world, you are the emperor in the future." Then his mentality will become very subtle, able to stretch but not bend, and coupled with the queen mother's reign in the past few years, he has become a little sensitive.

A sensitive and conceited young emperor.

If there is no suitable candidate, the Confucian school does not want to support such an emperor. Such an emperor certainly cannot threaten the Confucian school, but may give the Confucian school a big surprise at a critical moment.

Because the young emperor had no real power, he could clearly feel the attitude of the royal family and dignitaries who were respectful to him on the surface but actually disapproved of him. Now he felt that these people were really afraid of Li Xuandu. If Li Xuandu was an old man like the geomancer who had been in the world for many years, it would be fine, but he was still a young man.

How could he bear this?

At this time, someone chanted: "The pulse of the country is like a thread, leaves fall, flowers fly, stems break and the weeds fly. The pain is endless, and it is in vain; the vast feelings are overwhelming. A thought is mixed, and the merits and demerits of thousands of years are carved in history impartially. It's just dawn, and it's a long night again, and it's time to wait for tomorrow."

Emperor Tianbao turned around after hearing this, and saw that an old man had appeared on the ship. The old man was not tall, leaning on a dragon-headed cane taller than himself. His eyebrows and beard were very long, even covering most of his face. He was wearing a khaki robe and a stone-blue long vest. At first glance, he had neither the unrestrained and unrestrained mountain air of Qinghe Jushi and Bailu Xiansheng, nor the honorable and noble air of the great priests. He looked like an old country gentleman who had run away from some remote and poor village.

However, Emperor Tianbao showed some respect and said with the courtesy of a disciple: "Master Long."

Mr. Bailu also said: "Senior brother."

The man who came was Old Man Long. He waved his hand, indicating that the two did not need to be polite.

Emperor Tianbao's expression eased a lot, and he asked softly, "Master Long, how did you get here?"

Old Man Long smiled and replied, "Not long ago, Li Xuandu and Tan Taiyun had a fight in Taibai Mountain. The specific process is unknown. As a result, Tan Taiyun was defeated and returned to Wuxu Palace in Xijing. He has not shown up since then. As for Li Xuandu, after defeating Tan Taiyun, he came to the imperial capital from Liaodong in a dignified manner. The winner has been decided. Since Mr. Qingping has arrived, I have to come."

Emperor Tianbao's face was a little solemn. Since the second year of his accession to the throne, the trouble in the northwest has become a big problem that cannot be avoided. Speaking of the northwest, Tan Taiyun cannot be avoided. Although Emperor Tianbao has never seen Tan Taiyun, he has indeed known him for a long time and has been an enemy for many years. After hearing the news of Tan Taiyun's failure, Emperor Tianbao's mentality has calmed down a lot, and he is no longer angry at Li Xuandu's arrogance.

Elder Long asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to go and meet Mr. Qingping?"

Emperor Tianbao understood what Elder Long meant. He would personally escort him to see Li Xuandu, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "Forget it today."

Elder Long did not force it, saying, "There is indeed no need to rush. Your Majesty will meet Mr. Qingping sooner or later."

Emperor Tianbao was startled and asked, "What does Master Long mean by this?"

Elder Long stroked his beard and said, "Mr. Qingping came to the capital this time, mostly for Zhang Suqing's matter. In any case, Zhang Suqing is a Confucian, and his death has nothing to do with Your Majesty. In this regard, we and Mr. Qingping are still on the same page."

Emperor Tianbao fell into silence.

Elder Long and Mr. Bailu looked at each other and knew it well.

This student's identity is too special. Even if the best teachers in Confucianism are gathered together, it is difficult to discipline him.

…

In the watchtower, Shi Hengbo had slowly stood up and stood at the window, looking at the particularly eye-catching figure through the heavy lights, and was lost in thought for a moment.

The maid followed Shi Hengbo and followed the young lady's gaze, and couldn't help asking: "Young lady, is that Mr. Qingping?"

Shi Hengbo did not retract his gaze, but just nodded slightly.

The maid was amazed and said, "This Mr. Qingping is so impressive. His Royal Highness the King of Tang and the two Confucian scholars are all very respectful in front of him. They are not like this usually."

Shi Hengbo sighed, "Miss Qin is so lucky."

The maid was stunned, "Miss... why did you suddenly mention Miss Qin?"

"I just felt it. Miss Qin has been engaged to Mr. Qingping. It is said that Mr. Qingping is quite loyal and has never been a playboy. At such an age and with such an identity, he can be said to be a good man who can be entrusted with life." Shi Hengbo retracted his gaze and whispered, "Besides, who doesn't envy Miss Qin? If... there is a change in the world, Miss Qin will either be a princess or a queen, or even an empress... it is not a luxury."

The maid only heard the first half of the sentence, but not the second half, and couldn't help laughing, "Could it be that Miss is also attracted to Mr. Qingping?"

Shi Hengbo shook his head, "Don't get rid of the delusions. Some people say that Mr. Qingping has a great obsession with the world. Such people need a good wife and Yue family, not a woman like us."

The maid sighed, "What is 'women like us'? Why should I do this for a lady? In terms of appearance and talent, the lady may not be worse than Miss Qin."

"You are still too young." Shi Hengbo couldn't help laughing, "Is it a princess? It has nothing to do with your appearance, talent, and etiquette. It has something to do with your father, brother, son and nephew. Only they are the emperor. A princess, or a princess, or a eldest princess, or a eldest princess. As for women who are emperors themselves, they are not considered princesses. Therefore, people are born different and cannot be changed."

The maid seemed to understand it, but I don’t know why the lady mentioned the princess or not. There are also several princesses in this imperial capital, but except for Princess Xuanzhen, it’s just that. How can my lady be like this? It was popular, so he said, "Why didn't you see Miss Qin?"

Shi Hengbo said, "Miss Qin should still be in Liaodong. Maybe His Highness, who is planning to hand over the family business to his daughter."

"Hey? Your Highness of the King of Liao?" The maid looked puzzled, "When will there be another Liao king..."

Halfway through the conversation, the little maid finally realized, "Miss is talking about the head of the Qin family in Liaodong."

Shi Hengbo nodded, "The title of "King of Liao" was first from the mouth of the Jinguan people, and later it was circulated, and many people also called it this way. Recently, there was news that Mr. Qingping asked the court to enthrone him in Beijing this time. My father-in-law is the real King of Liao."

The maid was startled, "The king of a different surname!"

Shi Hengbo nodded and said, "Yes, the king of a different surname."

The reason why Shi Hengbo knew about this news was, on the one hand, because she had a wide connection and well-informed relationship, and on the other hand, because Liaodong released a news release in advance to test the court's reaction.

Now it is not only Shi Hengbo who knows about this, but many others also know about this, but there is no specific explanation for how the court will deal with it.

"The clouds in the cabinet, the wind in the palace." These are two proverbs that are well-known in the officialdom of goblins. To be an official, you must rain the clouds in the cabinet. As for whom the clouds can eventually cover the heads, it depends on where the wind in the palace blows the clouds. This is a meaning. There is another meaning. In a moment, the wind will come from the palace. Wherever this wind goes, who can see the direction of the wind, can seek profit and avoid violence.

There is another saying, "The cabinet is a house with air leakage on all sides." Usually it is a cabinet meeting in the morning, and news comes outside in the afternoon. But now, there is still no news, which means it is not that it is done well in confidentiality, but that there is really no result. Otherwise, the east wind would have been turbulent in the imperial capital.

Kings of different surnames in all dynasties, especially vassal kings of different surnames, were all major concerns of the court. Apart from the founding of the country and rewarding merits, few people were granted the title of kings of different surnames. But now, Liaodong has become a separatist trend. Zhao Zheng, an outsider, could not have laid such a deep foundation in the three prefectures of Liaodong in a few years. It was mainly because the Qin family supported it, so Qin Qing, the Liao. The title of King is worthy of his name. If the court approves it, there will be no substantial losses, and it can only be said that it will follow the flow.

But whoever agrees may become a sinner in the future, so no one is willing to bear the infamy and dare not refuse rashly. The same reason is the same. If someone refuses, Liaodong will use this as an excuse to come to the city. In order to appease Liaodong, the court will definitely To give Liaodong an explanation, then the minister who refuses must become a scapegoat.

Shi Hengbo was in the imperial capital for a long time and probably understood what was said here, but she was not from the court, so it was not her turn to worry about these things. She only knew that as Mr. Qingping Li Xuan came to the imperial capital, the direction of the court was about to change, and many unresolved matters need to be decided, and the original undercurrents would turn into open winds and waves.

Shi Hengbo was quite interested in thinking whether the change in the imperial capital in the second year of Tianbao would be repeated?

If the fight really starts, can Mr. Qingping sweep the imperial capital?

Shi Hengbo has a good cultivation level, but she has had an amazing talent that she never remembers since she was a child, but she has suffered from the lack of guidance from famous teachers. Later, she met people from Confucianism and gained the cultivation of Confucianism from Confucianism. The method is also guided by several great Confucian scholars. They have a thousand miles of cultivation, and they are definitely not weak women without the power to tie up a chicken. Of course, it’s not as good as Shangguan Wan and Qin Su.

Just now, when Li Xuan took action, she was greatly shocked.

A great master of the Infinite Realm of Heaven and Man died just like that. The person who takes action is underestimated, and the person who gets beaten has no strength to fight back.

Is this the immortal immortal?
