The Path Toward Heaven
Chapter 397
Practitioners in the real world saw the bloody battle in the Xianyang Palace and did not miss any details, including the last conversation between Bai Qianjun and Zhuo Rusui.
Looking at the corpses all over the floor, and Zhuo Rusui who was sitting in the middle, who was no longer breathing, the outside of Echo Valley was quiet for a long time.
The practitioners thought about that conversation silently, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt it made sense. The Zhongzhou faction and the Qingshan sect are the leaders of the orthodox practice world, but their styles of doing things are completely different. The Zhongzhou faction pays attention to joining the world, and infiltrates its influence into every corner of the world through the court, officials, and army, trying to lead the entire human race forward, but the Qingshan sect basically ignores world affairs.
The disciples of the two sects also acted according to this habit in the world of Qingtianjian. The so-called illusion and reality are not too different.
Zhuo Rusui left the illusion, and Jing Jiu was still inside—after the fire, people in the illusion were speculating about his life and death, and people in the real world naturally knew that he was still alive—he was sitting next to the Qingtian Mirror, and the glass bell hung quietly behind him.
It's just that no one knows where he went, and the blue bird has not found a trace of him for a long time, which is really shocking.
There are more ruins in the palace of the Chu Kingdom, and the emperor is missing. Naturally, the blue bird will not stay here anymore. After the death of the assassin of the man in black, the state of Qin entered a period of stable development for a long time. The merchants of Qi State have opened up several new sea routes, and the enthusiasm for foreign continents has made the march to the ocean a magnificent situation. However, practitioners are not interested in this kind of thing, nor are they interested in the debates in Qi Guoxue Palace or Mr. Yunqi, so it stays in Zhao State more often.
Zhao Guo's court situation seems to be stable, but in fact it is turbulent.
Just as Bai Qianjun expected, Zhao's little emperor will always grow up, and the plot will naturally become exciting.
In the past five years, the young emperor has become a youth, and is gradually approaching adulthood. He performed very well, he was extremely filial and well-behaved to the empress dowager, and everyone seemed to be from the heart without any falsehood. It may be because of these reasons that Eunuch He and the Queen Mother gradually loosened the shackles on the young emperor, and he had more and more opportunities to contact courtiers and scribes, and even vaguely formed the embryonic form of his own team.
Logically speaking, at least Eunuch He should be vigilant against such a trend, but for some reason he doesn't care about it at all, and takes Tiqi and his subordinates to patrol the states and counties all year round, or to travel around the mountains and rivers - the rule that eunuchs are not allowed to leave the capital is completely meaningless to him.
While visiting the mountains and rivers, Eunuch He also did some things by the way.
Such as supervising water conservancy, dealing with people's livelihood, arranging military defense, punishing officials, bullying male bullies, making money wantonly...
Public dissatisfaction was out of the question, but material discussions were unavoidable. It was not until General Pei of the Chu State died of illness, and Zhao Guo's seven-route Qingqi besieged Xidaying, and won the first battle. At this time, the whole world knew that Eunuch He had been planning this big event for the past five years!
Yes, the winner of this war is Qin.
Emperor Bai obtained most of the territory of Chu State, but the most fertile Eastern Field and the most critical Xi Daying fell into the hands of Zhao State.
...
...
When the news of the fire in the Chu Kingdom's palace reached Xidaying, He Zhan was discussing with Zhao's generals in front of the map in the Central Army's tent, how useful the old straight road in Ximeng Mountain would be if they wanted to go north to Xianyang in the future.
After hearing the news, he was silent for a while, waved his hand to signal the generals to leave, and then went to the room behind the tent.
Your emperor is dead, he said to the eunuch and whore.
The prostitute was a little dazed, not knowing what to say. The eunuch burst into tears. He was a miserable poor boy who was also bullied in the palace. If he hadn't yelled when someone wanted to burn the palace that year and won the trust of His Majesty the emperor, how could he have had the chance to live a good life for so many years.
It seems that your emperor likes you very much. Before he died, he wanted to find a way for you to survive, so he sent it to me.
He Zhan looked at them and said, I wanted to kill you to disappoint him, but you are gifts after all, and I have never had the habit of refusing gifts.
In the entire country of Zhao including Qi, there are countless people who want to give gifts to Eunuch He, but the only person who dares to force him to give gifts is Jing Jiu.
Receiving a gift doesn't mean using it, and it's not difficult for He Zhan to dispose of it.
He planned to ask his subordinates to send the eunuch and prostitute to Qi State, and then let Qi Shang send him to the sea, so that he could find a small island and live happily ever after.
He was a little dissatisfied, since Jing Jiu finally let him handle these matters, why did he never contact him in the past years, and why he didn't surrender to Zhao State, but why did he surrender to Qin State? I'm not familiar with you, but Shenmo Peak and Guocheng Temple have old relationships, so it's better than the relationship with Zhongzhou Sect, right?
With such doubts, He Zhan returned to the capital of Zhao State.
On the long street, the convoy was rarely welcomed by the people, and the Tiqis beside the car had weird expressions on their faces, wondering what's wrong?
Undoubtedly, the greatest achievement is to open up the frontier and expand the soil. Even those who hate him can only keep silent at this moment.
He Zhan didn't feel anything, and he didn't care. The cheers coming from the car window were no different to him from the screams of the officials in the anti-crime factory.
He was still thinking about that.
Walking into the imperial study room, the young emperor greeted him, and said sincerely, Uncle, you have worked hard.
He Zhan suddenly said: I want to understand.
The emperor's expression changed slightly, he forced himself to remain calm, and said, Uncle wants to understand what's going on.
He Zhan ignored him, and said to himself: So it's because of the troubled princess...
The emperor felt more and more strange, but he couldn't ask any more questions.
He Zhan collected his mind, came to the bookshelf of the imperial study room, and opened the curtain to reveal the huge map behind him.
Looking at the map, he was silent for a moment, and picked up a pen to mark a certain place in Zhaojing.
There are already many such signs on the map, but there are still more blank spaces waiting quietly.
It is said that the victory of this battle in the West Camp was because of my foresight and my calmness. No one knew that this was the strategy that I and the late emperor had drawn up fifteen years ago.
He Zhan looked at the young emperor and said: Whenever you do anything, you should make a decision before you act, and you should do it after you have figured it out.
The young emperor remained silent, thinking to himself that since it was the late emperor's credit, what qualifications do you have to teach me a lesson?
I don't know whether the Emperor Chu really set himself on fire, was killed by his courtiers, or escaped by taking advantage of the fire. He Zhan walked to the table, poured himself a bowl of tea, and said, But no matter whether he died in real life or fake death, for the current Chu people, he is dead, and there will be no more trouble.
The young emperor was shocked when he heard the words, and felt that these words were a warning to himself, so he did not dare to remain silent, and said, Uncle sees clearly.
...
...
It has been thirty-seven years since the aspirant entered the world of Qingtian Jian.
Flowers are not popular for a hundred days, and people are not happy for a thousand days. What's more, the relationship between the little emperor and Eunuch He will never be good, and it has never been really good.
Zhao's stable situation did not last for too long. As time passed, the emperor was getting closer and closer to adulthood, and he was about to take charge of the government. Naturally, many ministers would express their loyalty in advance. The little emperor's wings are growing and his confidence is getting stronger. The empress dowager is still filial and respectful to He Zhan, but it is inevitable that he will still have some ideas.
A newly promoted Jinshi official went to the imperial court, saying that this dynasty governs the world with filial piety, and that King Hejian, as His Majesty's biological father, should be honored as emperor and enshrined in the Taimiao.
There was an uproar at the meeting, but none of the ministers dared to express their opinions. His Majesty the Emperor remained silent, and the bead curtain remained motionless.
Logically speaking, this matter will inevitably cause an uproar, and the two sides attack each other like a storm, but the government and the opposition have maintained a strange silence.
Everyone knows why.
In late autumn, Eunuch He's car was stopped by a brave scholar.
The scholar ignored Tiqi's cold gaze and the worried gazes around him, and shouted loudly: This is a great gift of the country, please make it clear to your father-in-law!
No one thought that Eunuch He would answer this question, although everyone knew his opinion.
Once this kind of question is answered, it is equivalent to lifting the lid of the stove, which can easily cause a fire.
The best way is to turn a blind eye and not hear it.
No one expected that everyone on the street heard his voice: The king of Hejian is the king of the county, how can he be qualified to enter the Taimiao?
The scholar was very surprised, and immediately showed ecstasy on his face, and shouted repeatedly: But he is His Majesty's biological father!
Eunuch He's voice was still so calm: Your Majesty has passed on to the late emperor, so he has no father-son relationship with King Hejian.
That scholar felt more and more that he was bound to become famous today, his face flushed like drinking alcohol, and he shouted: Elder-in-law is a deformed person, he doesn't know the way of human relations, what qualifications do you have to judge this matter?
The street became extremely quiet, and everyone thought that the scholar would die on the spot, or be arrested and imprisoned, and then executed by Ling Chi.
Those Tiqi and eunuch masters looked at the scholar as if they were looking at a dead person.
Unexpected things happen again.
Eunuch He didn't say anything, and ordered the driver to move on, ignoring the scholar.
Watching Tiqi leave, the scholar couldn't hold on any longer, his legs went limp, and if he wasn't surrounded by the crowd, he might have fallen to the ground. Hearing the praises from all around, and seeing the admiration on people's faces, the scholar was very proud, forced himself to be calm, bowed his hands in salute, and said a few more powerful words.
A middle-aged scholar stood outside the crowd, looked at the scene and shook his head, and left with a few figures who looked like students. They stayed overnight in a certain academy that day. After finishing their homework, the students couldn't help talking about what happened during the day, and they all said that they were lucky on this trip. They actually saw such a scene when they first arrived in Zhaodu.
Discussions turned into discussions, and finally turned into debates. The students argued more and more fiercely, and finally they could only look at the middle-aged scholar for help.
That middle-aged bookish man with a refined manner and a calm expression is Mr. Yun Qi, who is deeply respected by the world.
The students want to know his answer very much, and I believe the world also wants to know.
Including the young emperor of Zhao.
