That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 771

As His Majesty the Emperor and Master Zhangjiao arrived in Jiangdu one after another, the debate, which had been delayed for a long time, was about to take place. The time was set for mid-June, and the venue was in His Majesty's Jiangnan Palace.

Strictly speaking, there are two Jiangnan Palaces. One is the Jiangdu Palace located in Jiangdu City. It was originally the Great Chu Palace. From the remaining part, we can still see how magnificent and unparalleled the Great Chu Palace was.The other is Jundao, which is located in the center of Dongting in the eight hundred miles of Huzhou. It used to be the royal summer resort of the Great Chu Dynasty. It is difficult for ordinary people to approach.

During the ten-year competition, King Mu lived in the northern capital, and King Xiao ruled in the central capital. Lu Qian, known as the king of the south of the Yangtze River, refurbished the Dachu Royal Courtyard on Jundao, and spared no effort to expand it to collect famous and strange stones. , There are countless strange stones, which almost have the style of Hua Shigang, the last emperor of the great Chu Dynasty. It was rumored that there was a dragon stele written in heaven, and Lu Qian mobilized more than [-] people to fish it out from the bottom of the Dajiang River in three months, and then put it here. The dragon stele is shaped like a panlong, and the back is engraved with the ancient seal script of the Yin script. It is the leader of the strange stones in the world, and it is also a treasure that can suppress luck. Because of this, it is named Wanshi Garden, which is similar to Fu's Wanzhu Garden. The [-]-acre bamboo forest in the same name is equally famous.

After Lu Qian's fall, Wanshiyuan belonged to Daqi Xiaoshi, and it was for this reason that the Empress Dowager agreed to return the property of the East Lake Bieyuan to its original owner, just because Wanshiyuan was better than the East Lake Bieyard.

After His Majesty the Emperor came to Jiangdu, he only stayed in the Jiangdu Palace for three days, and then immediately set off for Jundao Wanshiyuan, so the venue for this debate was set in Wanshiyuan.

This cloudy rain that began to fall since the emperor came to Jiangdu lasted for more than ten days, and it is still falling today, falling in the Wanshi Garden, like a girl in Huaichun, who is ashamed to speak .At the same time, it falls on the eight hundred miles above the Dongting, but it looks majestic. Dongting is in the rain, looking at the lake, the white waves are surging, and there is no ocean.

Wanshi Garden is built with originality, built on the cliff, under the cliff are densely packed naval warships, on a windy day, white waves hit the cliff, rolling up thousands of layers of white snow.Although this is the imperial palace, it is the first time for Xiao Xuan as the owner to come here. When he leaned on the railing to look at the eight hundred miles of Dongting under the rain, he couldn't help but feel a bit pleasantly surprised when he saw the beautiful scenery.

Xiao Zhinan, who also came here for the first time, changed into plain clothes and stood behind his father.

Xiao Xuan didn't look back, and asked: "Zhinan, do you know where this is?"

Xiao Zhinan replied: "Jundao Wanshi Garden, where Lu Qian and the late emperor ruled across the river, fighting against the court."

Xiao Xuan held the railing with both hands, and said softly: "You have forgotten one thing, Xiao Jin also came here under the escort of Qiu Ye to persuade Lu Qian to retreat, and this is how the shepherd Qi Xiheyuan was defeated. "

Xiao Zhinan frowned slightly, and asked: "Why didn't the father choose Jiangdu Palace? This place is surrounded by water, if there is a change, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the army to respond."

"Before I came, Han Xuan nagged in my ear more than once, that the Holy Lord is lucky if he does not take advantage of danger, and the Lord of Ten Thousand Vehicles will not go into unexpected places." Xiao Xuan said softly: "I know this truth , but I’m here to ask you, if you were Xiao Jin, what would you do?”

Xiao Zhinan fell into deep thought. In fact, she had thought about this question more than once, how Xiao Jin should break the situation after the failure of the Circular Mound Altar, how to challenge the Daqi court that occupied the whole world with a corner.

But after thinking about it, she found that there was only one way to go, and that was to have another change in the Circular Mound Altar, not only to kill an emperor, but also to have several central officials like the Taimiao change of Emperor Shenzong of Zhengzheng. If he died, the civil and military losses of the Manchu Dynasty were so heavy that the huge court had no leader, so it would be unfavorable to raise troops and make trouble again.

Xiao Zhinan said slowly: "Imitate the former emperor and Emperor Wuzu, and do the things of the Taimiao."

Xiao Xuan turned around to look at his daughter, and asked: "Why, the minions that Xiao Jin raised over the years suffered heavy casualties in the Ming Tomb, and now there are no decent monks in the Wei Kingdom, and only one Sun Shiwu can break into the Going to Wei Palace, I still have Zhang Baisui, Zhao Qing, and Fu Zhongtian by my side, so why would he assassinate me?"

Xiao Zhinan sighed in her heart, she was not afraid that her father was confused for a while, but she was afraid that her father would see everything clearly, but in the end he was clever and was mistaken by cleverness. A foolish person can be persuaded, but a smart person cannot be persuaded, because Smart people are proud and conceited. They know what they want and what they should do. Once they have an idea, they will act on it, or even go their own way.

Xiao Zhinan was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "The reason why the first emperor was able to kill the Emperor Shenzong of Zheng in the past was because of Taoism, and now King Wei's greatest reliance is naturally Taoism."

She hesitated for a moment, then added: "The Daoist sect's head teacher has already gone down the mountain."

Xiao Xuan said calmly: "You don't need to hesitate, just say it."

Xiao Zhinan said softly: "I thought that the king of Wei would reach a conspiracy with the Taoist sect, and use this debate to put the emperor to death. The hall is in chaos, and even the world is in chaos, only in this way can the king of Wei be able to extract millet from the fire and win the victory in the chaos."

"It's such a chaos to win." Xiao Xuan nodded, and said: "If Xiao Jin wants to win, he has to mess up the chess game. As long as I am still alive, the chess game will not be messed up. Therefore, my life and death are the key. Wei Wang alone It's a fool's dream to kill me, so the king of Wei will use the power of the Taoist sect, but how far will the Taoist sect go?"

Xiao Zhinan didn't know what he meant, so he could only repeat: "The head teacher has already gone down the mountain."

Xiao Xuan said: "I know that Qiuye is the world's No.1 invincible, but the Great Sword Immortal Shangguan Xianchen was also invincible in the world, the result? Lu Qian and Jianzong still lost. As the saying goes, manpower is sometimes poor, Qiuye I am not the Daoist Lord of the Qing Dynasty who changed the structure of the Taoist sect by himself, and I am not Gongsun Zhongmou who is alone."

Xiao Zhinan lowered his head slightly, understanding what his father meant. Throughout the ages, only half of the people who have truly reversed the situation with their own power are the founder of the Sword Sect, Shangqing Daojun. The reason why it is said to be half is because Because Shangqing Daojun also failed to stop the trend of Yuqing's great prosperity, but only preserved the Shangqing's line.As for the death of Gongsun Zhongmou, rather than saying that Gongsun Zhongmou lost to Qiu Ye, it would be better to say that Jianzong lost to Daomen.

Qiuye's realm is very high, above the eighteenth floor, but it has not yet reached the level of Lord Daoist of Shangqing.

The imperial court has a deep background, far from being comparable to the overthrown Jianzong.

Even if Zhenren Zhangjiao is No.1 in the world and His Majesty the Emperor is just an ordinary person, it must be extremely difficult for Zhenren Zhangjiao to kill His Majesty the Emperor.

Xiao Zhinan frowned and said: "Even so, Father doesn't need to take risks to come to the south of the Yangtze River. Father is the co-lord of the world. As long as he sits in the imperial capital, what about King Wei? What about Taoism? Even if the two join hands, they can't help Father."

His Majesty the Emperor smiled slightly and said, "Yes, as long as I am in the imperial capital, they will have nothing to do with me. But in the same way, as long as the king of Wei retreats to the Wei state and the head teacher lives in Xuandu, I will have nothing to do with them."
