That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 1289

After Xu Beiyou returned to Biyou Island, he accomplished two important things. One was to promote the alliance of the major sects to fight against the Taoist sects, and he, the master of the Sword Sect, was appointed as the leader of the alliance.The other thing is that at his behest, the upper echelons of the Wei state were cleaned up. There are two reasons for this. It is impossible to leave them alone, and the second is because of money.There is still about 9000 million silver in Wei's treasury, but it is all Jianzong's money. There is no reason why Xu Beiyou can wantonly confuse him because he is the king of Wei and Jianzong's suzerain, so this money must be returned to him. Jianzong, after all, Jianzong returned to the 36th Island, just repaired Biyou Island, already a little injured, and urgently needed money.

But if all the money is taken away, the treasury of Wei State will be empty. Xiao Jin almost emptied the entire Wei State in order to launch a war. The people of the Wei state would also be helpless, so Xu Beiyou ordered the big dignitaries to donate generously, but these dignitaries couldn’t see the situation clearly, so it’s no wonder that Xu Beiyou was cruel and merciless, and took advantage of this matter to make these self-righteous Wei The dignitaries of the country are all cleaned up.

For this reason, Xu Beiyou also specially seconded more than ten thousand troops from Xiao Zhinan, led by Li Yanliang himself, and there were more than a thousand secret guards led by Chen Moling.

Sure enough, as Xu Beiyou expected, as the so-called rabbit bites people in a hurry, these entrenched dignitaries are not so easy to handle. They have raised warriors in their families, and some dignitaries started to fight to the death when the dark guard came to the door, and It became more and more violent, and Chen Moling's hidden guards could no longer suppress it, and soon Li Yanliang personally led three thousand elite soldiers into the city to brutally suppress the rebellion.This massacre lasted for a day and a night. In the end, Li Yanliang had to send another [-] cavalry into the city to continue the suppression.There was no suspense about the outcome. All the families who dared to resist had been killed, and the heads of the leaders were hung on the gates of the Eastern Capital of Wei.

The first big shock after Xu Beiyou took over Wei State lasted for three days and three nights, blood flowed like rivers, and people were executed every day, so that even the common people who love to watch the excitement became numb , It made the whole country of Wei terrified, and let the whole country of Wei really see the iron-blooded wrist of the new king of Wei.It wasn't until this time that the whole state of Wei really understood a truth. Although the new king of Wei who made the old king of Wei fall into the sand in the Central Plains, although he didn't like killing people very much, he was not afraid of killing people.

In the end, Shangguan Qiushui, the new Patriarch of the Shangguan Clan, went to Biyou Island to meet King Wei, and this stopped the turmoil that was gradually expanding.

Although this disturbance to a certain extent violated Xu Beiyou's original intention of not wanting to kill wantonly, but generally speaking, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. First of all, it freed up enough seats for Xu Beiyou to place his confidantes, and secondly, from the About 4000 million taels of silver were found on the bodies of these dignitaries. Even when Daqi was in its heyday, the annual tax was only 7000 million taels of silver. Wei State's taxes for more than ten years are enough to support Wei State for nearly ten years. Xu Beiyou was proud to return the money that originally belonged to Jianzong to Jianzong, so that both Wei State and Jianzong got rid of the previous financial difficulties. The confidence to carry out the next many matters.

No matter what happens to the state of Wei, Biyou Island is still the same as before.

Mountains can be divided into yin and yang. For example, the Dutian Peak where the Xuandu of Taoism is located has twelve pavilions on the sunny side, and five halls headed by the Zhenmo Temple on the shady side.

The same is true for the Lotus Peak. On the sunny side of the Lotus Peak are the various hospitality courtyards, and on the dark side are the residences of the suzerain and elders.

Among them, the location of the suzerain's residence is the best, and it is surrounded by many elders. There are not only pavilions, towers and pavilions, but also a small lake.

The lake is secluded and the ancient cypresses are verdant. Under the cover of green trees, there is a building with blue tiles and white walls hidden in it. This is Qingruixuan, which has recently become famous in the entire Wei Kingdom.Just because the new King of Wei is not in the Eastern Capital of the Wei Kingdom, but lives in the suzerain's residence on the Lianhua Peak of Biyou Island, so Qingrui Xuan is like the emperor's study room, and every day you can see the dignitaries and dignitaries of the Wei Kingdom coming from the Wei Kingdom .

There are five guests in today's Qing Ruixuan, all of whom are familiar faces, Shangguan Qiushui, the new patriarch of the Shangguan family, Murong Zhen, the speaker of the Murong family, Li Yanliang, who is temporarily serving as the right governor of the Wei State, Chen Moling, the governor of the dark guard, and Ye Shi The old and new Patriarchs, Ye Lanyi and Ye Daoqi.

It can be said that all the real talkers of the Wei state have gathered.

Xu Beiyou, who was dressed in white uniform, sat on the main seat, with a calm expression, and it was not at all obvious that it was his order that turned Wei Guo upside down.

After the several dignitaries exchanged glances, Shangguan Qiushui spoke first: "Your Highness, now the territory of Wei State has largely returned to calm, please show me your Highness."

Xu Beiyou said: "I don't have anything to say. Now the major yamen in Wei State are almost in name only. It will take some time for the officials in Daqi to be selected. During this period, there can only be three patriarchs."

Shangguan Qiushui, Murong Zhen, and Ye Lanyi stood up at the same time, "It is our duty to devote ourselves to the king's affairs."

Xu Beiyou stretched out his hand to press down, motioning the three of them to sit down again, and then looked at Ye Daoqi, "Mr. Ye, I have a big task for you to do today. I don't know what Mr. Ye will do."

Ye Dodge got up slowly.

Today's Ye Daoqi no longer has the celebrity style of the past, and looks extremely depressed. Although his clothes are still neat and his demeanor is still elegant, the sadness between his brows cannot be concealed.

After hearing Xu Beiyou's question, Ye Daoqi smiled wryly, "Since it is the order of Sect Master Xu, how dare Ye Mou dare to shirk half of the point, he should do his best."

Xu Beiyou smiled, "Mr. Ye doesn't need to do his best, it's just a trivial matter."

Speaking of this, Xu Beiyou picked up a sealed letter from the table in front of him, and said, "This is a letter I wrote to Zhenren Zhangjiao. Mr. Ye is the nephew of Zhenren Zhangjiao, so I I would like to ask Mr. Ye to send this letter to the Daoist Xuandu, and personally present it to the head teacher."

Ye Daoqi froze suddenly, because he had been under house arrest these days, and he didn't know much about the situation outside, and at this moment, he couldn't figure out what Xu Beiyou was thinking, so he froze here for a while.

Xu Beiyou didn't urge him, he just held up the letter in his hand and waited patiently.

After a long time, he slowly came back to his senses, stepped forward to take the envelope from Xu Beiyou's hand, and respectfully accepted the order.
