Chapter 2827 The fall of Bodhisattva and Huaiqing’s plan

Jian Zheng looked back in the direction of Da Feng, and a figure appeared in the depths of his eyes. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, without any sign of failure. Then his body completely collapsed and was absorbed by the spear.

With the disappearance of Jianzheng, the whole Qingzhou suddenly became windy and cloudy, with dark clouds and lightning intertwined in the clouds. One moment it was daytime, and the next moment, the world fell into darkness, a strange phenomenon was born, and darkness fell.

Dahuang opened his fanged mouth and swallowed the curved spear into his belly. He wanted to refine Jianzheng's spiritual essence and soul, but found that Jianzheng's spiritual essence was like a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard, and motionless. There was a bit of surprise.

"It can't be refined!"

"Teacher Jianzheng is a first-grade destiny master. He has refined the luck of the nine states. If the great power is not destroyed, he will not die!"

"You can seal Teacher Jianzheng in the gun. When we overthrow Dafeng, we can naturally refine it easily. However, in the process of overthrowing Dafeng, we still need your help!"

"Overthrow Dafeng? Who gave you the confidence? Have you asked me?"

A voice came from the distant void and penetrated into the ears of the four people, causing their expressions to change slightly. When they looked closely, a figure emerged, with a wide scholar's shirt, fluttering like an immortal, independent from the world, with his hands behind his back. , black hair falls behind her, revealing a free and easy elegance, clear and heroic.

"Xu Zisheng!"

Xu Pingfeng's face turned gloomy. The last time he made a move in Kyoto City, it was because of Xu Zisheng's interference that he failed. He was unable to extract the luck from Xu Qian's body. Now that his enemies met, he was extremely jealous, and Yang Zongheng's murderous intention suddenly increased. The evil energy gathered, and the circular formation under his feet rotated crazily, evolving into formations that surrounded him.

"Everyone, if you want to overthrow Dafeng, this person must be eliminated, otherwise it will be a big trouble in the future!"

Garoshu Bodhisattva is also familiar with this name. His body is slightly stiff, the flesh and blood on his neck are squirming, and a brand new head is born again. He finally wipes out the power of the Confucian sage's carving knife and reorganizes his body. His eyes are majestic and he looks at this elegant man. The handsome young man had a flash of surprise that he was so young.

"You are Xu Zisheng, the Liuli Bodhisattva you injured last year?!"

Xu Zisheng looked around, looking at the surrounding formations. A bright mirror appeared in his eyes, imprinting all these formations, and countless formation information flowed into his heart. Is this the mystery of the warlock? It was indeed interesting. He turned his head He looked at the Jialuoshu Bodhisattva, nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice.

"The Buddhist Liuli Bodhisattva actually dares to trespass into the territory of Dafeng and act recklessly. Naturally, I have to teach her a lesson to let her understand that this is not the Western Region, but Dafeng, and we will not tolerate the arrogance of outsiders!"

Xu Zisheng's words were so rude that he almost pointed at the bald man and scolded the monk. He said he was talking about the Glazed Bodhisattva, but he was actually scolding the Jialuoshu Bodhisattva.

Garoshu, the head of the four great Bodhisattvas, has extraordinary natural wisdom and understanding. He heard the hidden meaning of Xu Zisheng's words. Unknown anger flashed in his eyes. Fudo Mingwang appeared. Somewhat calmly, he snorted coldly.

"As expected of a scholar, he has sharp teeth and a sharp tongue, and he likes to show off his power of words!"

Xu Zisheng ignored Jia Luoshu Bodhisattva, glanced at Taoist Black Lotus, shook his head slightly, then stopped at Dahuang, looked at the clone of the ancient god and demon, and sighed.

"You managed to escape the catastrophe of the gods and demons and managed to survive, why would you come to interfere with the affairs of Kyushu and step into the catastrophe again?"

Dahuang's expression moved slightly. He didn't expect that the other party's knowledge was so astonishing. He could see his true identity at a glance. He smiled ferociously and said coldly.

"Now that Jiuzhou Dao Zun and others have disappeared, there is no more super-grade existence, and the gatekeeper has been sealed by us, why don't I dare to come to Jiuzhou?"

Xu Zisheng sighed, his face full of regret, as if he was expressing his regret. Suddenly, his face straightened and he said in a deep voice.

"Since you are already here, don't leave!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Pingfeng's feet shone with white light and disappeared in an instant. Others could not react in time. Their eyes were filled with awe-inspiring righteousness. They were upright and majestic. They fell from the sky, unstoppable and magnificent. In an instant, Xu Pingfeng deployed all the formations. He wiped them out and then rushed towards the three of them.

"Ahhh!"

Miserable wails echoed, and the image of the Immovable King behind Garoshu Bodhisattva was instantly wiped out. The golden light shining all over his body quickly dimmed, and finally disintegrated, his flesh and blood wasted away, and he turned into a withered skeleton.

Taoist Black Lotus was like ice and snow meeting the sun, making a sizzling sound. The black liquid continued to evaporate and turned into nothing. The surroundings were full of righteousness, upright and bright, warm and hot, which could purify all the filth in the world. Taoist Black Lotus met Tian Tian. The nemesis was unable to struggle at all, and slowly turned into a phantom. Finally, it collapsed and perished, turning into light flakes that filled the sky and scattered on the earth.

The great wilderness with a sheep body and a human face shone with countless black lights, exuding an all-devouring aura. However, it was of no avail when it encountered Haoran Zhengqi. It was completely restrained. The white light swallowed up the darkness, directly killing the clone of the ancient god and demon. Devoured and completely killed, only a long spear-like horn was left, which fell into Xu Zisheng's hands.

"He ran quite fast, and he also used the treasure of the previous generation to block the secrets of heaven. It was quite interesting!"

Xu Zisheng turned his palm and put away the spear. Jian Zheng should be sealed inside for the time being. He had to do something. It was inconvenient for him to be there, so I would like to aggrieve him for the time being.

"Well, you should leave it to Xu Qi'an to deal with him. After all, he is his father, and I can't do it for him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Zisheng's figure disappeared and returned to Kyoto City. He would sit on the sidelines and wait for an opportunity to rebuild the world and reorganize Dafeng.

…

Yongxing year, winter. Si Tianjian has fallen, and Dafeng is in danger! In the same year, Qingzhou fell. The chief envoy Yang Gong led the remaining troops to retreat to Yongzhou and started a confrontation with the Yunzhou army. The world was shocked!

The news of the fall of Qingzhou and the death of Jianzheng spread throughout the capital, causing a huge sensation. Officials gathered at the Meridian Gate and asked to see Emperor Yongxing, but were blocked outside.

Emperor Yongxing was sick. He was frightened and it was not until dusk that the princes saw him in the imperial study. Overnight, Emperor Yongxing seemed to have been drained of energy, his eyes were wandering and his face was pale.

"Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body."

Seeing this, Chief Assistant Wang Wenzhen frowned and stepped forward to comfort him.

Emperor Yongxing laughed miserably, his eyes full of despair, and said sadly.

"Dragon body? At this time, do I still care about this body of flesh and blood?

"My lords, Jian Zheng is dead, what should we do? Qingzhou has been lost, and the rebels are confronting Yang Gong at the border of Yongzhou. Once they stabilize Qingzhou, they will definitely make a comeback and sooner or later they will hit the capital."

Jian Zheng was the patron saint of Dafeng. The death of Jian Zheng completely made Emperor Yongxing lose his confidence and his heart was filled with despair.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Dafeng is so powerful that it is far beyond what the Yunzhou rebels can contend with. As long as we fight steadily, we will naturally win!"

"Since all the supervisors have fallen, there is no chance of victory!"

Emperor Yongxing smiled bitterly when he heard this. He didn't think that without Jian Zheng, Dafeng could resist Yunzhou's rebels. After all, the opponent's strength was too strong. Jian Zheng, who was so powerful that he was invincible in Dafeng, was beheaded. Who could It can also resist the pace of the rebels.

The ministers were silent, and the imperial study fell into silence. After a long time, the minister of Dali Temple moved slightly, took a step forward, and offered advice.

"Your Majesty, why not ask for peace?!"

Emperor Yongxing's eyes lit up, and he was moved. He was not a talented and strategic emperor who was content with the situation. As long as he could sit firmly on the throne, he didn't care about ceding territory and seeking peace.

Wang Wenzhen, the chief assistant, had a tough style and was dissatisfied when he heard this. He took a step forward and strongly opposed it.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. Dafeng is the orthodox member of Kyushu. How can we seek peace with the rebels?"

Emperor Yongxing's face darkened, his face was full of displeasure, and he said angrily.

"Is it possible that Lord Chief Assistant has a way to destroy the Yunzhou rebels?"

Although Wang Wenzhen was an able minister in governing the world, he was not good at attacking on the battlefield. There was no way he could defeat the rebels, but he had other ways.

"Your Majesty, you can invite Xu Zisheng. He is a first-class Confucian sub-sage. He is not weaker than Jianzheng, and he is proficient in the art of war. He will definitely be able to suppress the Yunzhou rebellion and put down the war!"

Emperor Yongxing's expression turned cold, and a look of fear flashed in his eyes. He had no good impression of Xu Zisheng, who helped him to the throne with his own hands. He first forced the emperor to abdicate and then committed regicide. He was also the fiancé of Princess Huaiqing. He was not from the same group. When Xu Zisheng resigned, he breathed a sigh of relief. How could he invite him out again?

"Don't mention this matter again. I would rather sue for peace than ask him out!"

Emperor Yongxing was always worried that Xu Zisheng would support Princess Huaiqing's younger brother, the fourth prince, so he would rather cede territory and pay compensation for peace than allow Xu Zisheng to lead the army again and step into the court. That would be a huge blow to his throne. threats.

…

In the morning, at the Jinluan Palace, Emperor Yongxing was a little excited, just like a man in desperate situation seeing the light of day. Yesterday, Yao Hong, the chief envoy of Yongzhou, returned a report, which stated that the Yunzhou rebels initiated peace.

In addition, Yao Hong also filed a lawsuit against Yang Gong because Yang Gong refused to negotiate peace and tried to suppress the matter. This crime should be punished!

"Yao Aiqing is truly my humerus minister!"

Yesterday, Emperor Yongxing was overjoyed after reading the book. As for Yang Gong, he did not plan to deal with it for the time being, because Yongzhou still had to rely on him to defend.

"My dear friends, yesterday the chief envoy of Yongzhou, Yao Hong, handed over a statement that Yunzhou wants to negotiate peace with our court and stop fighting."

Emperor Yongxing looked around at the ministers, with a happy face, and asked with a smile.

"What do you think?"

"This plan may be a delaying tactic for the rebels. Your Majesty, please think twice! If the imperial court wants to negotiate a peace, the rebels will definitely open their mouths. I am afraid that the imperial court will have no power to compete with them in the future. The principle of cutting flesh with a blunt knife must be the same for your majesty. understandable!"

Wang Wenzhen, the chief assistant, was the first to express his opposition. It was not that he didn't know Emperor Yongxing's thoughts, but he couldn't watch Dafeng's 600-year-old foundation be destroyed in the hands of Emperor Yongxing, so he took the lead to say it regardless of Emperor Yongxing's disgusted eyes. expressed his own point of view.

"Your Majesty, since the autumn harvest last year, one hundred thousand troops have been buried in Jingshan City by Wei Yuan. After the winter this year, nearly 60,000 elite troops have been lost in Qingzhou. If we continue to fight like this, our soldiers will definitely be exhausted. However, with the refugee crisis everywhere and the shortage of troops, the Ministry of War can no longer mobilize troops to support Yongzhou. I believe that negotiating peace is the right move and can solve the court's urgent needs."

"Furthermore, the treasury is now empty. If the imperial court continues to fight against the Yunzhou rebels, it will be dragged down by the war sooner or later. The Spring Festival is approaching and the earth is rejuvenating. We need time to breathe. And negotiating peace can buy us time to survive the cold disaster. "

Someone advocated war, and naturally someone advocated peace. The Minister of Dali Temple came out again and gave Emperor Yongxing a perfect excuse to negotiate peace.

Emperor Yongxing silently watched the debate among the princes, until more and more people expressed their opinions, and the peace faction gradually overwhelmed the war faction, he then stood up, looked around at the ministers, and said loudly.

"I feel sympathy for the soldiers and the people, and cannot bear to engage in war rashly anymore. The matter of peace is settled."

It’s not that Emperor Yongxing didn’t understand that negotiating peace was just cutting flesh with a blunt knife, but he had no choice. Rather than inviting Xu Zisheng out, he would rather negotiate peace. At least he could comfort himself by saying that it was to buy time to breathe. As long as he survived the cold winter and waited for next year That’s it!

In the spacious and elegant inner hall of Yong'an Marquis' Mansion, the eldest princess, wearing a plum-colored palace dress, looked up at the figure sitting upright above her, revealing her stubbornness and strength, and spoke.

"I am here this time to ask for something!"

Xu Zisheng looked at his fiancée with a bit of amusement in his expression, and countless destiny trajectories appeared in his clear eyes, which were mysterious and profound, making people dizzy.

"You want to force Emperor Yongxing to abdicate and let the fourth prince, Prince Yan, take the throne!"

Xu Zishengdan's lips were slightly parted, and the corners of his mouth slightly curved into a nice curve. His faint smile was like the sunshine outside the house, bright and warm.

Princess Huaiqing was stunned when she heard this, with a look of astonishment on her cold pretty face. She didn't expect that Xu Zisheng knew everything before she opened her mouth. She took a deep breath in her heart, calmed down, nodded, and said .

"That's right, Dafeng is in a precarious situation now. If you want to restore the decline, you need to do three things!"

"The first is to solve the gap between extraordinary and powerful people. In this regard, you are a first-grade Yasheng, and your strength is unfathomable. Jian Zheng and Wei Yuan said back then that they can't see you clearly!"

"The second is to solve the problem of money and food. There is no good way to solve this problem. The only way is to gamble all of Dafeng's family wealth. Now that Emperor Yongxing wants to ask for peace, this is holding him back!"

"What Dafeng needs is a strong and determined king, not a cowardly and timid Emperor Yongxing, so I want to force Emperor Yongxing to abdicate!"

"Third, we need an invincible commander on the battlefield. You meet this point, but there is one person who is also very suitable, and that is Wei Yuan. Now Si Tianjian and Xu Qi'an are busy resurrecting Wei Yuan, and they are close to success. There is no need worry!"

Xu Zisheng looked at the strong and courageous eldest princess and chuckled, but was not in a hurry to express his position.

"I'm actually ready, just in case, and I need you to hold the line!"

"The previous officials of the Wei Party were all my people, and I also won over some officials above the court. If we gather them together, we can become the largest party above the court!"

"Secondly, everyone in the royal party is also opposed to the peace negotiation. Wang Wenzhen's daughter is married to Xu Xinnian. I have communicated with Xu Qian and he will win the support of the chief minister for me!"

"Finally, I have people in the fifth camp of the Forbidden Army and the twelve guards in the capital, and I can control the order of Kyoto City. In addition, I have collected three dragon qi, plus the five dragon qi collected by Xu Qi'an, which is enough to stabilize the great power. Good luck!"

"As long as you are willing to support me, I can gather your subordinates, win the support of the Wuxun Group, and force Emperor Yongxing to abdicate with full confidence!"

"Build walls high, accumulate food widely, and become king slowly! You are well versed in the principle of low-key growth, and you have accumulated so much power without everyone noticing!"

"Yongxing is too mediocre. In peaceful times, he may be a good king, but in troubled times, he is an incompetent king!"

Xu Zisheng said with a sigh, with a bit of sadness in his expression. He had expected this day, so he was not surprised.

"Nowadays, Dafeng is in a mess due to internal and external troubles. What it needs is an emperor with great courage and the courage to innovate. How can you guarantee that Prince Yan can do better than Emperor Yongxing?"

"I have my own solution for this, so you don't have to worry!"

Princess Huaiqing looked confident and energetic. She was worthy of being the most outstanding of the children of Emperor Yuan Jing.

Xu Zisheng shook his head slightly, did not agree to Princess Huaiqing's proposal, and said in a deep voice.

"I don't believe that Prince Yan is no better than Emperor Yongxing. Even if he ascends the throne as emperor, he will be just another Emperor Yongxing. It has no meaning!"

Princess Huaiqing's heart sank. She didn't expect things to go so wrong. It seemed that Xu Zisheng didn't have a good impression of Prince Yan and was unwilling to support him.

"I"

Xu Zisheng raised his hand, stopped Princess Huaiqing's next words, and continued.

"Don't be anxious yet. I support you in forcing Emperor Yongxing to abdicate, but I will not agree to let Prince Yan ascend the throne!"

"I have an idea, you can listen to it!"

Princess Huaiqing frowned and stared at Xu Zisheng with her cold eyes. She wondered what he meant by these words.

"You come to be the emperor!"

"If you are willing to ascend the throne as emperor, I will fully support you. Not only will I use my hand to stop the extraordinary masters from Yunzhou, but I can also hand over all my subordinates to you to win the support of the Wuxun Group for you. Look at this idea how?"

Princess Huaiqing's eyes were wide open, her lips were slightly opened, and she was stunned. She couldn't believe her ears. She ascended the throne and became the emperor. How could this be possible? There was no precedent in the world for a woman to become an emperor.

"I can't do it. From ancient times to the present, there is no such thing as a woman becoming emperor!"

"Why not? You are better than Emperor Yongxing and Prince Yan. You have gathered such a huge force quietly, and with my support, you are enough to suppress all criticism. Why can't you become the monarch of Dafeng?"

Xu Zisheng looked extremely calm, looking at his fiancée with gentle eyes, and his words exuded fatal temptation.

Princess Huaiqing's eyes were bright, ambition arose in her heart, her expression moved slightly, and she said with some uncertainty.

"Can I really do that?"

"certainly!"

Xu Zisheng said categorically, with a strong appeal, which made Princess Huaiqing certain in her heart. She spread her brows, smiled like a flower, nodded fiercely, and said.

"That's it!"

"Okay, I will tell my father about this now and ask him to contact the Wuxun family. At least 70% of the Wuxun family can be won over. Even if a small number of people are unwilling to support you, most of them will sit on the sidelines and remain neutral!"

"As for the officials above the court, my original subordinates are naturally not a problem. As for the royal party, I will personally invite Wang Wenzhen. He is an old fox, principled and flexible. Facing the general trend, he will not object!" (End of chapter)
