Chapter 736 Pure Prince’s Mansion

"Pure King..."

The leading Taoist priest's expression changed, "It's a big deal this time!"

The Pure King is the Snow Mountain King.

The King of Snow Mountain originally stayed in Kungang forever, but in recent years he has fought against the turtle bandits in Kungang and defended the peace of the southwest. He has made outstanding achievements, especially in the past one or two years, he has almost wiped out all the turtle bandits. In addition, the emperor has just taken charge, so he is promoted. When my own people relied heavily on the clan and the new rich, they transferred the Snow Mountain King lineage who had been on the border back to the capital and changed their titles to pure kings.

The top officials in the capital are most sensitive to this change in the structure. Some people have long speculated that the Chunwang line is here to replace the Shouwang. As King Shou shifted his focus to prolonging life, it was time for his power and symbolic status to move. This new pure king will definitely not be able to replicate the original position of King Shou as the auxiliary king, but he may occupy the position and completely squeeze out King Shou.

As a result, although King Chun has only been in Beijing for less than a year and has not yet established himself, he has already found a place in the upper-class circles in Beijing, and his future is limitless.

This was incomparable to King Hengchang, who had just been exterminated.

Although the title of King Hengchang is very big, it is actually just a two-character county king. Moreover, it is not a real seal. It is only a royal palace in the capital and has no territory of its own. It is not as good as the previous Snow Mountain King.

In fact, it is quite embarrassing to say it carefully. At that time, the old King Hengchang, the father of today’s King Hengchang, actually had territory in other counties. The imperial court gave a fiefdom in the north, which was not as good as King Shun’s Youzhou. There were also two Although the county is a frontier fortress, it is still much better than the harsh places like Liangzhou, except that barbarians often invade. But Lao Wang had no ability at all. He went out and was beaten so badly that he returned to the capital in disgrace. From then on, he had to live on his salary and lost his Sacred Heart forever.

Therefore, the King of Hengchang and his family are just a family of miscellaneous kings in the capital, not very noble. There are more of these people than the bastards in the pool, at least they are more but not more and less of them. The annihilation of the family will only cause panic among people, but it will not change the situation of the government.

But King Chun is different. Chun Wang is the one who is favored by the emperor now. He is a new force in the rising period. His butt is not yet hot. If anything happens to Chun Wang, it will definitely cause shock to the government and the public, and make the emperor angry...

What, now the emperor can no longer be angry?

Outsiders don't know.

It hasn't reached their level yet.

Anyway, the leading Taoist priest was a little anxious and said hurriedly: "Let's rush over! Don't let the thieves hurt King Chun."

Everyone immediately formed a team and rushed over as hard as they could.

Tang Zhao was also in the team, but he was not only in the team. The moment he heard the news, the light of his sword intent had already flown out and rushed to Prince Chun's Mansion.

You know, the people in the Taoist Palace were thinking about the overall situation of the government, and were afraid that King Chun's failure would shake up the already unstable government situation. Tang Zhao was concerned about his friend Wang Fei.

Wang Fei is the eldest son of Prince Xueshan. Now he has moved to the capital with his father and is currently in Prince Chun's Mansion. The two have known each other for more than two years, have always had a good relationship, and have a very close connection with Yunzhou. Part of this is politics, and part of it is love. Tang Zhao is not responsible for politics, he cares about love.

In fact, he wanted to go to Prince Chun's Mansion to find Wang Fei to understand the situation before, but he was worried about the sight of the Imperial Master and didn't want to involve his friends, so he didn't go, but now he can't care so much. The enemy is about to arrive in an instant, but these Taoist priests still plan to run to Prince Chun's Mansion and follow them. Aren't the day lilies getting cold too?

Moreover, even if we go in time and catch up with the enemy, the enemy must be extremely powerful. What use are these Taoist priests who are not swordsmen?

Although Xu Zhongnan mentioned that in the Jiutian Dao Palace, except for the national master, everyone else does not follow the path of swordsmen, but they all have strong strength. If the Taoist priest dares to lead a team to track down the murderer, he naturally has a trump card, but Tang It was impossible for Zhao to place his hopes on them.

Therefore, when Tang Zhao himself followed the team forward, the light had already flown to the top of the palace.

Chun Wangfu and Hengchang Wangfu are in the same district, not far apart. Tang Zhaoguang arrived in an instant and looked down at the Wangfu from a celestial perspective.

And then saw...peace.

Prince Chun's Mansion is quite peaceful now. Although due to the tense current situation, it closed its doors like other princes' palaces and thanked guests. Even old King Chun was called into the palace by a decree and has not come back yet. However, the operations of the palace are going as usual and people are doing well. Tang Zhao even saw Wang Fei, who was arranging the general affairs of the palace as the crown prince, and his expression was as usual.

good! Caught up!

So the enemy is coming soon. According to the previous standards, they should take action just before Dao Palace rushes over, and they will be ruthless when they strike.

This time Tang Zhao squatted in advance, and he must be able to see the mastermind behind the scenes. Instead of guessing at an unfamiliar corpse, which one is more realistic than seeing the enemy with his own eyes?

Tang Zhao turned into a ray of light and hung next to Wang Fei. He did not go to the gate, but stayed at the core of the palace.

It would be too cliché to assume that any attack must involve breaking in, and only the reckless would do that. You must know that several of the masters of King Hengchang died in the inner courtyard. There was no sign of panic and they were scattered. It looked like they had their hearts ripped out.

Therefore, Tang Zhao boldly deduced that if the attack came this time, it would be very likely that Wang Fei would be attacked.

Although Tang Zhao was on full alert, he did not inform Wang Fei. Firstly, he was afraid of alerting the enemy, and missing traces would trigger the opponent's thunder. Secondly, there was not enough time. Before Tang Zhao wanted to come, it would only take a cup of tea for the people from the Taoist Palace to rush over. , then the other party will have to launch it before this period of time. So the action will be taken soon. This time is just enough for Wang Fei to shout. There is no time to divide the tasks. How much power can be mobilized? You still have to take the best insurance yourself.

however……

Tang Zhao didn't expect that by waiting left and right, he didn't wait for the enemy, but only waited for those from the Tao Palace. "Great, caught up!"

Although the leading Taoist priest was late for a cup of tea, he sighed exactly the same as Tang Zhao.

He didn't have time to say more and asked someone to open the door. Although the door of the palace was closed, since it was the National Master Dao Palace who was calling the door, it could always be opened as long as everyone was not dead.

When he heard that people from the Dao Palace were coming to the door, Wang Fei dropped everything he was doing and went out to greet them. He felt uneasy and his palms were sweaty. The situation was so tense at this time. He also felt it in the palace. His father was called out and refused to return. The visit of the Taoist palace was probably bad news.

When I opened the door and asked the Taoist priest... it was really bad news!

It's just that it's not the bad news he expected.

"What... our family is being targeted? Are we going to be wiped out?"

Tang Zhao doesn't fight grass, but the people in Tao Palace are not afraid of fighting. They are full of confidence and speak straight to the point.

"Your Majesty, is Xiaodao going to joke about this? Gather your family together quickly, don't spread out and let others take advantage of you. We are here to protect you."

Wang Fei also knew that he should not rush to distinguish between true and false at this time, and be careful not to make a big mistake. He hurriedly led his people to gather the family members and guards at home.

The background of the Snow Mountain King is not comparable to that of a capital county king like Hengchang King. Back then, his family took advantage of an army of 100,000 and had many fierce generals. There were several swordsmen, and swordsmen were nothing.

After entering the capital, the army must not be taken with them, and many old generals had to stay in Kungang to garrison. However, some people took the initiative to abandon their official positions and join the army. At this time, there was also a female swordsman guarding the inner house, and several swordsmen were holding the line. At this time, they are called together, surrounding the family members, and the swordsmen form a military formation, which can display stronger strength.

With this lineup, even if Tang Zhao, who had not gone to Kongliang Mountain before, came, he could still support them for a while.

When Tang Zhao saw this formation, he didn't feel relieved, but worried: If the black hands dare to touch such a mansion and confidently issue a warning, what kind of strength do they have? You can't do more research than you can do, right?

The leading Taoist priest thought to himself and said: "My lord, don't worry, you guys can be kept as backup, our Taoist palace will defeat the enemy first."

Ha, are you so confident?

Tang Zhao didn’t even dare to say this.

Wang Fei, like Tang Zhao, had just entered the capital. He believed in showing the strength of the local chariots, horses, swords and guns. He only admired the reputation of the national master, but had never seen the real seal. Besides, no matter how powerful the national master is, you are just ordinary disciples, and you are not the famous man who protects the country and cherishes his dream. Why are you so confident?

As if sensing Wang Fei's doubts, the Taoist priest opened his hand, revealing a palm-long sword.

The small sword was faintly blue, with a faint layer of light. It was obviously a fixed shape, but it seemed that it would twist and beat in the next moment.

This sword was like a bolt of lightning, but thunder and lightning could not be held, but this bolt of lightning fell clearly into his hand.

Wang Fei said softly: "Is it the power of the national master?"

The Taoist priest raised his head and said: "Exactly, although the old master of the country is not here, his power protects us! In the capital, what are you afraid of?"

Although Wang Fei is not as confident as he is in the National Master, he is obviously relieved a lot. It is a recognized fact that the power of the National Master is incomparable to the shadow of a person's famous tree.

Tang Zhao suddenly thought in his mind: I originally thought that the Imperial Master was omniscient and omnipotent in the capital. He could see every corner and he would know the gender of a fly flying by. But it doesn't seem to be the case. His attention is also limited. Even in the capital, as long as he doesn't pay special attention to something, things he doesn't want to happen may happen. Even after it happened, he might not be able to react immediately.

Thinking about it again, Tang Zhao became even more convinced: If the Imperial Preceptor could know everything about the capital, why couldn't he know about the conflict between the Queen Mother and the Emperor? If he had discovered it earlier, he could have prevented the tragedy. It can be seen that even if the palace is an important place, he cannot monitor it all the time.

It seems that his power is not passive, but active. He is now putting his power in several key places, eliminating dangerous elements and monitoring the surrounding princes. Then the capital city in the middle is like the eye of a typhoon, but flaws are leaking out.

In order to better exercise his power, he distributed his power to various disciples in the form of summons, so that these disciples could deal with the situation on the fly in different places and check for deficiencies.

This form, um, looks a bit familiar...

No two mountains!

The way these disciples use their power is a bit like Yuanshi?

In this way, the national preceptor is...

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly turned back:

coming!
