That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 765 A Letter Moves the World
After Li Fenggu formally challenged the Taoist sect, Chen Ye, the master of the Demon Suppressing Hall known as the "Headmaster in Black", responded to the Taoist sect. In other words, he put forward two requests. The first point is that Bai Yunzi will play on his behalf , The second point is to find a neutral person who can decide the outcome of the debate.

Looking at the world today, who is qualified to make this ruling?Originally, Qiu Ye, the head teacher of the Taoist sect, has this qualification, but the Taoist sect is involved in it, if he is the one who makes the ruling, it will inevitably be biased and fair, but if someone else is the one who makes the ruling, at least It is equivalent to the status of the real person in charge, so that the Taoist sect can be convinced.

After Da Qi established the country, there was a saying that two saints stand side by side. This does not refer to the saints in the sky, but the two most powerful people in the world. One of them is the Daoist teacher, and the other is Da Qi's His Majesty the Emperor.

The original two saints refer to Qiu Ye and Xiao Yu, but Xiao Yu had abdicated many years ago, and now he has ascended to the sky. Today, His Majesty the Great Qi Emperor is Xiao Xuan. People who are on a par with each other.

So the real person in charge personally wrote a letter to Emperor Xiao Xuan of the Great Qi, inviting him to Jiangdu. At that time, Qiu Ye, who is the real person in the Taoist sect, would also set off from Xuandu to meet the emperor who was regarded as his junior in Jiangdu.

This letter was sent to the world by Taoism, and the world was shaken by it.

Zhenren Zhangjiao has never been away from Xuandu for nearly sixty years. The last time he left Xuandu was to fight with the lord of Jianzong, Gongsun Zhongmou, on the Lianhua Peak of Biyou Island. This battle ended with Gongsun Zhongmou's death. , and it was precisely because of this battle that a new face named Xu appeared in the world.

This is the second time that Zhenren Zhangjiao has left Xuandu, and it is very likely that it will be the last time that Zhenren Zhangjiao will leave Xuandu, because in a short while, Zhenren Zhangjiao will prove his way and ascend, as the last time that Zhenren Zhangjiao passed away. Going down the mountain, no one thinks that this trip to Jiangdu will be ordinary.

In addition, the meeting between the head teacher and His Majesty the Emperor is also a major event that can shake the world. Although Qiu Ye and Xiao Yu were close friends, when Xiao Yu ascended the throne, Qiu Ye had not yet taken the position of head teacher, and Qiu Ye became the head of the Taoist sect. After teaching, he never left Xuandu for half a step. It is impossible for Xiao Yu to leave the imperial capital for Xuandu as a majestic emperor, so the two have never met as the head teacher and the emperor. If Xiao Xuan decides to go to Jiangdu , then this will be the first official meeting between Daoist Master Daoist and His Majesty the Great Qi Emperor.

Coupled with the debate between Li Fenggu and Bai Yunzi, what a grand event this is.

But the premise of all this is His Majesty's consent, so the eyes of the whole world are looking at the majestic imperial capital, waiting for His Majesty's reply.

……

Imperial Capital, Imperial City, Ganquan Palace.

During the Dazheng Dynasty, it was originally a yellow-roofed red wall with a white Xumizuo in distinct colors.It’s just that the Xiao family advocated black. After the founding of the country and Daqi, it was rebuilt several times, so that the overall layout of the entire Ganquan Palace has not changed, but it has become dominated by black tones. out of breath.

Ganquan Palace is the main hall of the inner court, including Yu Que, Qian Yu Que, Yingmen, Qiandian, Zidian, Taishidian, Tongtiantai, Tongxiantai, Wangfengtai, Yishou Pavilion, Yanshou Pavilion, Mingguang Palace, Living Room, and Bamboo Palace. , Zhaoxian Pavilion, Gaoguang Palace, Lingling Terrace and other palaces and pavilions. The main hall Mingguang Palace is named after the first emperor Xiao Yu, with the emperor's throne in the middle and warm pavilions at both ends. Government affairs, summoning officials, and holding inner court ceremonies and family banquets are second only to Weiyang Palace.

In today's Mingguang Palace, all senior civil and military officials gathered together. The civil officials include four members of the cabinet, the chief assistant Han Xuan, the second assistant Xie Suqing, and two academicians Zhao Zongxian and Li Zhenji. , Wei Wuji, the governor of Tiance Mansion, Zhao Wuji, the governor of the Chinese Army, plus His Royal Highness Xiao Bai, Zhang Baisui and Zhao Qing, the supervisor of ceremonies, there are 11 people in total.

The reason why the ten people gathered here today is because of one thing, that is, whether or not they will go to Jiangdu for the letter written by Qiu Ye himself.

There are roughly two factions at the moment, one is headed by the chief assistant Han Xuan, who believes that the Taoist sect has ulterior motives in this move, and His Majesty's safety is the most important thing, so don't pay attention to it.The other faction is headed by Xie Su Qing, the second assistant, who believes that the Taoist sect has already made this letter known to the world. If they don't go, it may damage His Majesty's reputation. Besides, it is related to Western barbarians like Li Fenggu, and it is related to the state, so they must go.

The two factions were at loggerheads, and His Majesty the Emperor did not say a word about it.

With the deepening of the dispute, the two factions have gradually developed from simply discussing the matter as it is, to the same party and the fight against differences. One faction said that the other party "does not put His Majesty's safety as the most important thing, and its intentions cannot be questioned", while the other faction refuted that "the superior cannot change the Lord, To benefit the people, the corpse is placed on a vegetarian meal, which is extremely detrimental to the country and the people."

Seeing the big from the small, the party struggle in the court has begun to take shape.

Although the old chief assistant, Lan Yu, has resigned and retired, and the Blue Party, which once dominated the temple, has also collapsed and scattered, but after Xie Suqing entered the court as the cabinet's second assistant, the originally scattered Jiangnan officials quickly united and became Xie Suqing. The rivalry between the party and the Korean party, and now the chief minister and the second minister are holding their own opinions, is actually just a microcosm of the struggle between the two parties.

Among the military officers, the governor Wei Jin still abides by the way of a lone minister and keeps silent, the governor of the Secret Guard Fu Zhongtian is on Han Xuan's side, and the governor of Tiance Mansion Wei Wuji is on Xie Suqing's side.

Prince Xiao Bai looked up at the top of his head, as if lost in thought.

His Majesty the Emperor remained silent for a long time. The people present at the meeting were all first-rank ministers, and naturally they were not those stunned young people who had just entered the officialdom. Their voices were soon silenced, and the whole hall was silent.

After a long time, His Majesty finally broke the silence. After comforting the first and second assistants, he raised the light letter in his hand and said calmly: "The words of Mr. Han Ge and Xie Suqing have their own reasons. I also agree with these reasons. I have thought about it, but after much deliberation, I still feel that there are some things that should not be avoided."

Then the Emperor made his final decision: "However, whether it is a conspiracy or a conspiracy, Jiangdu must go."

Seeing that Han Xuan was still about to speak, Xiao Xuan waved his hands and said, "Mr. Han Ge doesn't need to say too much, I've made up my mind. They say that there is no king in the world, and Jiang is one of the four capitals of my Great Qi. Could it be that I don't even have Jiangdu?" Can’t I go? Could it be that I can only hide in this imperial capital all day long? If so, then Jiangdu is still the Jiangdu of my Great Qi? Am I still the emperor of this world?”

Han Xuan hesitated to speak, but in the end he could only let out a low sigh and said nothing more.

His Majesty the Emperor, who had been sitting on the dragon chair, got up slowly, and said with a soft smile, "I have also heard about Mr. Xu's name in Jiangdu, and now my daughter and son-in-law are in Jiangdu. I have done the southern tour, so this trip to Jiangdu will be regarded as my first southern tour."
