Chapter 274: Wrath
Inside the study.
Li Nuo wrote several letters in a row.
One letter is to the master. As a disciple, I haven't seen the master for a long time. I would like to invite the master to Chang'an to visit me so that I can show my filial piety. I also want to ask the master some questions about martial arts.
The letter mentioned the two senior sisters in passing. He invited the two senior sisters and the master to come to Chang'an for a trip to change their mood.
The other letters were sent to Huashan, Hengshan, and several other martial arts sects close to Chang'an.
The Ministry of Rites has just held a martial arts conference.
This time, Li Nuo held a small martial arts gathering in his own name, inviting masters from various sects to come to Chang'an for exchanges and discussions.
Not long after he finished writing the letter, his father-in-law and mother-in-law arrived at Li's house.
Song Zhe's face was filled with worry. When he saw Li Nuo, he asked directly, "Where's your father?"
Li Nuo said: "It should be in the Dali Temple."
Song Zhe was a little anxious and said, "It's already this late, and he still has the mind to work!"
Being in the imperial court, he has keenly noticed some changes in the court's wind direction in recent days.
The King of Han and the King of You, together with a large number of powerful officials, were planning an action, and this action was obviously aimed at Li Xuanjing.
If they really want to purge the emperor's side, and if they gain momentum, even Your Majesty will be unable to stop them.
Once public opinion is swept up, it will form a rolling torrent that can only move forward and cannot retreat.
At that time, they could even ignore the law and use the most extreme means to get rid of him. Except for Princess An Ning, the rest of the Li family would inevitably be affected.
Li Nuo looked at his mother-in-law and said, "Senior sister, could you please deliver this letter to Sanqing Sect and hand it over to Master?"
Huashan and Hengshan are not far from Chang'an and can be reached quickly.
But Sanqing Sect is too far away, a distance of thousands of miles, and the fastest way is to ask the master to send them there.
Su Qing didn't bother to be polite with Li Nuo. He quickly opened the letter, took a look at it, and said, "Do you want to invite Master over?"
Song Zhe breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Although he is not a warrior, he knows how powerful a warrior in the sixth realm is.
If the strong man from Sanqing Sect was willing to come to Chang'an, he could at least keep their family safe.
Su Qing put the letter back, looked at Li Nuo, and said, "The Sanqing Sect has never been involved in the affairs of the court. Master may not come, so it's best to let your father make some other preparations..."
Li Nuo nodded and said, "I understand."
Even Fenghuang and my father-in-law could notice it, so my father must have known it a long time ago.
Although Li Nuo didn't know how he would respond, he would definitely not make no preparations.
At this time, Dali Temple.
Prince Chun looked at Li Xuanjing and said, "Father is in seclusion. How about you stay in my palace for a while? They shouldn't dare to attack the palace."
Li Xuanjing flipped open a new file and shook his head, "If they really want to do it, it will be useless even if they hide in the palace."
Prince Chun said again: "Then I will send someone to escort you out to avoid the limelight. When father comes out of seclusion, you don't have to worry about anything."
Li Xuanjing shook his head slightly and said, "I'm afraid that our every move is under their surveillance. If we leave now, it will be exactly what they want. Chang'an is the safest place right now. Your Highness, don't worry. I know what's going on."
Prince Chun was so anxious that he scratched his head, but seeing that Li Xuanjing looked indifferent, he could only pat his thigh, sighed and left.
A moment later, in front of a palace in the Imperial Palace, Prince Chun looked at an old man with a white face and no beard and said, "Eunuch Huang, please let me see my father. I really have something urgent to do!"
The old man holding the whisk shook his head and said, "Your Highness Prince Chun, it's useless for you to beg me. You also know that when His Majesty is in seclusion, he will set up a barrier so that no one can disturb him..."
Prince Chun sighed, turned and left.
Although he was the prince regent, at this moment he also felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
He looked back and clenched his fists in his sleeves.
Unless he reaches that supreme position, he won't be able to protect anyone...
…
Han Palace.
A figure walked into the hall, clasped his fists to the King of Han, and said, "Your Highness, the King of Chun just came into the palace and wanted to see Your Majesty, but he didn't see him."
The King of Han took a sip of tea and said, "My father is in seclusion, so it is impossible for him to see anyone. It would be strange if he could see anyone. When my father comes out, it will be a done deal. Without Li Xuanjing, he will be worse than the King of Ji..."
Then he asked again: "Did Li Xuanjing make any moves?"
The man said, "No, he is still the same as before, except going home or to the Dali Temple, but the masters of the Mingjing Division have all been transferred to his side."
Beside the King of Han, Wang Yue asked, "Mingjing Division, how many experts are there in Mingjing Division?"
King Han said: "Mingjingsi is an intelligence organization under Li Xuanjing. There may be some masters of the fourth realm, but there should be no masters of the fifth realm. However, there is a fifth realm master guarding his home."
Most of the powerful masters of the imperial court are in the army. The Mingjingsi is just an intelligence organization. It has a first-class ability to collect intelligence, but it is not famous for its military power.
Civil officials and military generals belong to different groups, and Li Xuanjing cannot mobilize the military masters.
Wang Yue smiled coldly and said, "The fourth realm, what kind of master is the fourth realm? If they dare to stop us, we will kill them all."
This time, the Wang family secretly sent five masters.
Including himself, there are six of them.
Together with the King of Han, the King of You, and the masters recruited by the powerful and influential people, killing Li Xuanjing is as easy as taking candy from a bag.
The King of Han remembered something and added, "Also, Li Xuanjing's relative is also a master. Li Xuanjing's son was accepted as a disciple by a master of the Sanqing Sect..."
Wang Yue was stunned for a moment and asked, "What?"
He looked at the King of Han and said in shock: "Why didn't you say so earlier!"
The King of Han said, "You never asked."
Wang Yue's face looked somewhat uncertain.
One or two masters are nothing, but the Sanqing Sect is not someone you can easily mess with, let alone the disciple of the Sect Master.
Three people in the sixth realm and more than ten masters.
Even the Wang family cannot compete with the Sanqing Sect alone.
But the Sanqing Sect cannot possibly touch the Wang family.
The aristocratic families and the martial arts world have always kept their distance from each other. Although the major aristocratic families occasionally have conflicts of interest, when faced with matters of life and death, they will choose to advance and retreat together.
No family can guarantee that they will always be strong.
Although the major families all possess extremely excellent martial arts bloodlines, in certain special periods, there will be a lack of successors and a situation where there are no sixth-level strong men to take charge.
At this time, the other companies will not only not add insult to injury, but will instead take better care of and support them.
This is also an important reason why they have been able to be passed down for thousands of years, experiencing many changes of dynasties, and still standing firm.
He originally planned to kill Li Xuanjing and his son together by purging the court of evil officials to prevent future troubles.
But since he was a member of the Sanqing Sect, the Wang family had to consider it.
The three sixth realm masters were extremely oppressive to both the imperial court and the aristocratic families.
After thinking for a long time, Wang Yue was unwilling, but he could only say: "This time, let his son go, but Li Xuanjing will definitely die..."
The Sanqing Sect is thousands of miles away and has never interfered in the affairs of the imperial court. As long as the disciples of the Sanqing Sect's leader are not touched, there is no need to worry about them.
The King of Han nodded and said, "If Li Xuanjing dies, his son will not be able to cause any trouble in the court, so there is no need to worry..."
The reason why Li Nuo was so successful in the officialdom and attracted the fear of countless officials was simply because of Li Xuanjing.
If there was no Li Xuanjing, how many people would give him face?
If Li Xuanjing died, he would be able to put that worry to rest completely.
at this time.
In the imperial palace, somewhere in a hall.
The old man holding a whisk sat in front of a chessboard, picked up a chess piece, thought for a long time, shook his head, and said: "I have played chess all my life, but I still cannot beat Your Majesty. I admit defeat..."
Opposite him, a middle-aged man shook his head and said, "You are the kind of person who admits defeat as soon as you are at a disadvantage. There is no point in playing chess with you. It is more interesting to play chess with Li Xuanjing. Every game is played to your heart's content. It is a pleasure to win and a pleasure to lose..."
The old man smiled and said, "Lord Li is the smartest man in Daxia. I, an old servant, cannot compare with Lord Li. Do you want Lord Li to come over and play two games with Your Majesty?"
The middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "No need. It's better not to see him at this time."
The old man put away the chess pieces and said, "This time, the situation in Chang'an is unprecedentedly dangerous. I don't know how Lord Li will break the deadlock..."
Emperor Xia also showed an interested expression on his face, and said, "I am also curious, how will he respond this time?"
But soon, the smile on his face disappeared. He played with a few chess pieces in his hand and said calmly, "Li Long and Li Xing are more capable than I thought. They joined forces with the Wang family and forced me to submit. In the past hundred years, I should be the first emperor to be forced to purge his entourage..."
The old man did not say anything else. The hall was silent for a moment. Suddenly, a figure walked in from the back of the hall, took out a secret letter from his sleeve, handed it to Emperor Xia respectfully, and said, "Your Majesty, the Mirror Division has a secret report..."
Emperor Xia reached out to take the letter and casually opened it.
Although he rarely interfered in state affairs, he was aware of everything that happened in the court.
He thought that this was just a routine secret report from the Mingjing Division, but after looking over, the expression on his face froze instantly.
The next moment, the chess pieces he was playing with were instantly turned into dust.
An invisible aura emanated from his body.
The other two people outside the hall felt their legs go limp and they fell to the ground, losing all their strength in an instant.
The secret letter in Emperor Xia's hand had been crumpled into a ball of waste paper. His eyes shone with a captivating light. He took a step forward and disappeared into the hall.
