Although the Kaifeng court has not been stable recently, it is now at the end of the "instability". The annoying guys have been driven away. When Zhao Shu gradually stabilizes the court again, both the state affairs and the fortune will be able to stabilize again.
Zhao Shu won a great victory in the Puyi event. What bothers him most now is the border of Shengzhou. The Shiwei Kingdom has shown signs of restarting the war.
The daughter of the Wen family is really abominable. She actually disobeyed the order and escaped from marriage at this time... It turns out that after entering the so-called "immortal sect", people's hearts have become bad!
However, I think that with Wen Ce leading an army of 100,000 to ask for people from Luluo Mountain, Luluo Mountain should not dare to resist...
Maybe it can be recovered. The emperor's face that Emperor Wu of Liang lost in front of the Taoist sects in the world!
Of course, Zhao Shu did not mean to fight to the death with the cultivation world. He just wanted to use Wen Hui to stabilize Shiwei, so that he could concentrate on dealing with the equally unstable Song-Liao border.
However, just when everything was getting better, a eunuch suddenly reported to Elder Yuanhui of the Dragon and Tiger Dao that there was an important matter to report.
Zhao Shu instinctively frowned upon hearing this, but then he met Yuan Hui with a friendly face.
Yuan Hui left a mark on Song Jiuding, which could be used to quickly return using a method similar to the Gangfeng Sword.
"I am honored to meet your majesty," Yuan Hui bowed.
Seeing this completely imperfect etiquette, Zhao Shu instinctively wanted to frown again, but he still held back and asked coldly: "Didn't Yuan Hui say that he would go to Green Rose Mountain with General Wen Ce? Why did he come back halfway?"
Judging from the time, Yuan Hui should not have reached Green Rose Mountain, but came back halfway...
"Your Majesty, I just turned back from Green Rose Mountain! Immortal Yichen, Immortal Qingleng, and Immortal Taiqing have the ability, which is beyond the reach of ordinary armies. Just yesterday, 100,000 troops were driven back by Immortal Yichen with a single word, and flew back ten miles. If it weren't for Immortal Yichen's kindness, 100,000 troops would have been burned to ashes..."
"What? Driven back with a single word, and flew back ten miles?" Zhao Shu's tone did not sound like shock, but rather questioning.
"That's right!" Yuan Hui said.
"And... have a kind heart? Does that mean that after flying back ten miles, no one in the army was injured?" Zhao Shu asked.
"It's not that no one was injured, but most of them were slightly injured." Yuan Hui replied.
"Oh, so I should stop pursuing those who deceived the emperor? Do you want me to issue another edict of apology?" Zhao Shu was furious. "
That's exactly what I meant." Yuan Hui had no emotional intelligence and didn't even hear Zhao Shu's sarcasm.
"What a joke! Where is Wen Ce?" Zhao Shu said angrily.
"General Wen is still trying to gather the troops' morale. The soldiers are frightened. It is estimated that they can't be driven out of Yunmengze until tomorrow, and it will take some time to return to the capital." Yuan Hui said.
Zhao Shu has already determined that either Wen Ce is lying with Yuan Hui, or... Yuan Hui is talking nonsense!
The only headache Zhao Shu has now is how to deal with it if the Wen family has already become alienated. As for the idea of driving people away ten miles with just one word, Zhao Shu doesn't believe it at all.
Yuan Hui also saw Zhao Shu's attitude, so he could only sigh and say, "I have already stated the truth, and Master Yichen announced in Green Rose Mountain that he would come to Kaifeng to seek justice... Your Majesty should make preparations early, and I will go to protect the Ding of the State."
Yuan Hui could not interfere with Zhao Shu's decision, but he would try his best to control the luck of the Song court to protect the capital!
As for Yuan Hui's warning, Zhao Shu found it particularly harsh. He only thought that the guy really dared to come, so he could capture him to set the record straight. Kaifeng has a million imperial guards, and they are afraid of a cultivator?
However, Zhao Shu did not stop Yuan Hui. After all, although these Taoists of the Dragon and Tiger Dao were morally corrupt and did not even understand loyalty to the emperor and the country, it was not a bad idea to use them.
After Yuan Hui left, Zhao Shu no longer concealed his anger. After smashing three or four vases, he suddenly remembered that he had to be on guard. Someone in Kaifeng would take the opportunity to cause trouble!
After all, he had just "won" the matter of Prince Pu not long ago, and many court officials who did not openly oppose him also had opinions in their hearts. It was said that when Sima Guang left Beijing yesterday, a large number of people went to see him off...
Since the Queen Mother had signed the edict, Zhao Shu thought the overall situation was settled at this time, but he had to be on guard against someone spreading rumors and exposing... No, framing him to force the Queen Mother.
Just when Zhao Shu wanted to give instructions to Kaifeng Prefecture, Guan Liyuan also appeared outside Kaifeng City. This time, Guan Liyuan not only did not hide his figure, but intentionally came to the sky outside Kaifeng City with a rosy glow.
In fact, Guan Liyuan arrived yesterday, but just made some preparations...
But in this case, it was not only Guan Liyuan who was prepared. As soon as Guan Liyuan showed his whereabouts, several figures in Kaifeng City immediately flew out and greeted Guan Liyuan in the air.
From the way they flew, it can also be seen that although most of the people who flew out of the city were semi-immortal cultivators, they all flew steadily after flying out of the range of the golden cloud of luck.
"I am Fu Zhu from Qinglin Temple, and I am here
to greet Alliance Leader Guan..." "Elder Bishu from Xiuyue Valley, I would like to say hello to Fellow Daoist Yichen on behalf of the Valley Master!"
"Hahaha, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and Brother Guan is still as charming as ever, which is really impressive..."
After Longhu Dao learned that Guan Liyuan was going to Kaifeng to cause trouble, he specially notified the immortal sects with half-immortals near Kaifeng overnight, asking them to mediate
. At this time, six or seven half-immortals or elders of half-immortal sects had already met Guan Liyuan outside the city of Kaifeng, and one of them was the only half-immortal in the Song court... the old Taoist priest Zhao Lun who looked very old.
"Are you going to make enemies with Green Rose Mountain?" Guan Liyuan directly put on a sour face.
"Brother Yichen, calm down. We have also heard about it... The Song court wanted to capture... ahem, bring back Brother Yichen's disciples without even saying hello to Brother Yichen. This is indeed wrong, but since there has been no damage to Green Rose Mountain and Brother Yichen's disciples, why not let them off easy?" said Fu Zhu of Qinglin Temple. "
Oh? If I say I want to blow up your Qinglin Mountain and destroy all the people in Qinglin Temple, would Master Fu Zhu be willing to make peace?" Guan Liyuan raised his eyebrows.
Fu Zhu was a little embarrassed when he heard this. Although he was not there before, he knew that this must have been said by someone from the Song court.
However... Guan Liyuan was indeed a little unreasonable. How could Fu Zhu not know this? People from the imperial court could only talk big. Could they really hurt Green Rose Mountain?
On the contrary, Guan Liyuan threatened Qinglin Temple, and he was a little afraid to agree... What if he really went to make a scene? They knew Guan Liyuan when the Evil Sword Immortal scourge happened eighteen years ago... They knew that although Guan Liyuan was not a murderer, he was definitely not a good person!
Even now, there are rumors that three of the five elders of Shushan were killed by Guan Liyuan...
"Haha, Brother Yichen is a true Taoist, so he won't be like those vulgar people." Fu Zhu secretly praised Guan Liyuan.
Guan Liyuan was really soft-hearted, and he was already very humble, so it wasn't impossible to talk to him nicely...
However, at this moment, the old priest of the Song court suddenly interrupted and said, "Brother Guan, people who practice Qigong should not get involved in worldly affairs. This is the consensus of all the major Qigong sects in Jiuzhou..."
