Summon the Big Boss

Chapter 17 Lin Xi Enters Beijing (recommendation)

Great Chongjing, Yongan City.

When he entered the palace, the temple of Yangshen was still brightly lit.

The young servant leaned against the pillar uncontrollably and dozed off quietly.

The Son of Heaven, who is in his prime of life, has already given birth to his hair early.

Emperor can be the most leisurely job in the world, or the most tiring job.

It all depends on how the person who sits on that chair chooses.

An elderly servant quietly sent a secret note to the emperor.

The Son of Heaven held it in his hand, and after checking the time for three breaths, he threw it heavily on the table, waking up the little eunuch who was dozing off.

Fortunately, the emperor has always been tolerant and preferential to his courtiers, even if he saw it, he never vented his anger on the little eunuch.

"Wen Yuanxiang...this old thief, how could there be such a change?"

The emperor then turned his head and asked the old eunuch beside him, "Is it confirmed that the barbarians have not surrendered, and that everything is really Wen Yuanxiang's trick?"

The old eunuch lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Although there is no real evidence, but the feedback from various parties, it is true...it is true!"

The emperor slammed his fist heavily on the chair.

"Old man Wen! How dare you insult me ​​like this?"

"Quickly order people, and all the relatives and clansmen of the old man Wen will be imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of punishment."

But the old eunuch suddenly knelt down and kowtowed: "Saints are not allowed! At this time, Marquis Dingxiang, Bo Longchang, Marquis Yongding, Luo Family in Hedong, Bai Family in Xijun, Sun Family in Huyou, Liu Family, and many nobles from the palace are subduing the barbarian tribes. , the memorials asking for merit from the saint have already been sent to the Longevity Palace. If His Majesty convicts that old man and sends all his relatives and family members to prison, then...these important ministers and nobles who also asked for merit from the saint, all parties How should a famous family deal with themselves?"

When the emperor heard this, it was as if he had been suddenly frozen.

All movements suddenly stopped, and even breathing became slow.

The emperor sits on the world and is rich in the world. Is it the king's land under the whole world, and the king's ministers on the shore of the land.

This is what he thought was 'real' since he was a child.

The first emperor Xianyou, when he first came to the throne, was also very high-spirited, wanting to reverse the decline of the country and return to the great prosperity.

It wasn't until the Daoist Yuanshen of the Shocking Immortal Sect visited the imperial city at night and hung a three-foot long sword above the emperor's head that the emperor suddenly woke up. This world does not really belong to him.

The reason why he is the emperor of the world is only because those great monks who are high above and seek immortality have no intention of managing common affairs.

In the dead of night, if you ask yourself, he is like the leading sheep in the sheepfold.

Even in the flock of sheep, he has a unique majesty, but in the eyes of the shepherd and the eater, he is still just a sheep, there is no big difference.

Princes, nobles, wealthy families, standing behind them, isn't it those sects of cultivating immortals who seem to be out of the world, but have hidden tentacles that penetrate into every aspect?
After all, practice requires a lot of resources, and the prosperity of the sect also requires excellent disciples.

These are real and not ethereal. They need to go deep into the people, into a piece of land, the deepest part of a country, and then... continuously, like parasitic plants, crazily absorb nutrients.

Until the country was overwhelmed, until the people living here began to fully realize that there seemed to be something wrong.

Then... with the game and support of those sects, a new country was born out of the ruins of the old one.

The anger of the people will also disappear with the fall of the old dynasty.

A century-old dynasty, a thousand-year-old family, and a ten-thousand-year sect, this is the true reality of the world.

"Hahaha... what a Wen Yuanxiang, it really is Wen Yuanxiang, and he really caught the weakness of the widow." The emperor said angrily, if Lin Xi was in front of him at this moment, he would definitely be able to eat the negativity from the emperor .

"Where are the people from Tianjiansi? Why didn't they report it?" The emperor asked coldly, but the answer was self-evident.

The officials of the Tianjian Division actually come from various sects.

In name, they are responsible for guarding the imperial city, guarding the emperor and the royal family.

In fact...their real function is to monitor the emperor...to monitor this evil 'heaven'.

For the Zongmen, Wen Yuanxiang could open up the trade routes leading to the barbarian tribes, allowing the stubborn barbarians to open up the treasures in the million barbarian mountains, which they were happy to see.

There are some things that people in the sect have always wanted to do, but they have never been able to do it.

For a young monk, to enter the Million Barbarian Mountain, not to mention taking a huge risk in one entry and exit, the gains can only be said to be reluctant.

However, if a powerful and elderly monk enters the Million Man Mountain, they will be as bright and conspicuous as the bright moon in the dark night, and those hidden and sleeping strong men among the barbarians will be awakened, and they will be kicked out of the Million Man Mountain .

The Tianjian Division may have learned the truth about Wen Yuanxiang's (Lin Xi) so-called subjugation of the barbarian tribe from the very beginning, but he was happy to see the success, chose to conceal it, and sat and watched the whole lie grow bigger and bigger, and finally covered the whole world. Sui's half of the country.

The emperor's question is destined to be unanswered.

In the direction that the emperor could not see, there were mocking expressions on the faces of countless people.

They are the officials of Tianjiansi...of course they are more willing and willing to just call each other Taoist friends. They are high-ranking monks and monks who surpass ordinary people.

Each of them has a bright future in the sect.

Coming here to be an official is nothing more than a secular experience, or a task issued by the sect.

They have never been integrated into the officialdom of this big scorpion, and they naturally lack the necessary respect for the emperor of the big scorpion.

"How many barbarians are in his hands at the moment?" The emperor let out a long breath slowly, after all, he still didn't get to the bottom of the issue of supervisor Tiansi.

In the oppressive main hall, the temperature seems to have picked up a little bit.

"Sage, according to statistics one day ago, Mr. Wen already has more than [-] barbarians in his hands, and under his control, they are well-trained and banned. Hedongliu's family provides them with armor, and Shangnaoqu's family provides them with heavy soldiers. The weapons are all ridden by tigers and leopards that have become monsters in the mountains."

"It is rumored that... when the army numbered one thousand and five, the Jindan Patriarch of the Qu family saw it and asserted that within a month, this army would be the most powerful force in the world." The old eunuch's forehead had already appeared. cold sweat.

He didn't know very well, when did the old man who came out of the capital have such a skill, he actually tamed all those aristocratic and wealthy families to serve him.

It is even more capable of taking stubborn, savage, and fierce barbarians for their own use.

What a terrifying force of three thousand well-equipped barbarian cavalry!

At this moment, the emperor is full of jealousy.

His anger was superficial, but his jealousy almost drove him mad.

If he had such a barbarian cavalry team in his hands, even if he couldn't compete with the sect, how could those sect disciples, those arrogant and arrogant aristocratic wealthy families, despise him, the evil emperor, so much?

"Here's an order to restore Wen Yuanxiang's position as Prime Minister, and he will be the prince's teacher. In addition... Feng Yongchang Bo, fief... the land of [-] Li Manshan, quickly enter Beijing to receive rewards, and take charge of the power." After the emperor regained his composure , the mind inevitably came alive.

He began to think about how to restrict Wen Yuanxiang.

At the same time, he found a way to take the barbarian cavalry in Wen Yuanxiang's hands into his own hands.

Now that something has happened, it cannot be changed.

It's better to work in the direction that is beneficial to you.

On the south side of the mountain, Lin Xi was training a group of barbarians who had just come down the mountain.

The emperor was curious as to why Lin Xi could control the barbarian team and get support from wealthy families from all sides, who seemed to have no doubts or reservations.

In fact, the reason is very simple.

The Son of Heaven is the embodiment of feudal thought and a natural centralized person.

Even if it is the mountain of the sect pressing down on their heads, what they still think about is how to obtain the true supreme authority.

But Lin Xi is not!
Lin Xi chose to let go of his existing rights and retain his own necessity and functionality.

He took the initiative to let the tentacles of the wealthy family infiltrate the barbarian cavalry.

Take the initiative to let them 'hook up' and contact the barbarian team, and even the barbarian tribe behind them.

At the same time, they took the initiative to organize the barbarian tribes, elected the commanders of the barbarian cavalry, and even supported and encouraged them, electing the commanders of the barbarian cavalry that all tribes believed in.

This seems to be of no benefit to Lin Xi, and even more selfless.

However, power is not in your hands until you hold it tight.

Instead, when you spread your palms, you landed in your palms.

The barbarian tribes have their own hunting grounds, and it is common for them to invade each other during the bitter cold.

It can be said that almost all the major tribes have blood feuds that cannot be resolved.

Perhaps a leader they both trust will emerge at last, but that will be many years away.

And the final result of different forces infiltrating their tentacles into the barbarian team is that none of them can take advantage.

If there is a conflict of interest, if there is a conflict, it is still necessary to go to Linxi to seek a "fair" ruling.

Lin Xi seemed to have lost the barbarian cavalry who could be said to be the most powerful warrior in the world, but in fact he gained more rights at his disposal and a higher and more secretive status.

The emperor's edict came very quickly.

It shows the impatience of the emperor.

But Lin Xi didn't reply.

He refused to return to Beijing due to his poor health.

It's just that the words are not dead, it seems to show a kind of 'resentment'.

This made the emperor happy.

So the emperor asked once, again, and three times.

For one month in a row, the emperor's special envoy went to the south of the mountain nine times.

The nine call-ups were more intense each time, and the treatment and promises promised were also higher than the first time.

At the ninth time, Lin Xi finally pretended to be helpless, and could no longer refuse the invitation of the emperor and the visit of lobbyists from all sides.

Only then did he decide to go out of the mountain, return to Yong'an, and take over the power again.

It's different from when I came here.

Lin Xi returned to Yong'an, escorted by barbarian cavalry.

Three hundred barbarian cavalry entered the capital with Linxi, which was also one of the privileges granted by the emperor, or... one of the conditions of compromise.

In addition to the 5000 barbarian cavalry, the accompanying monks, warriors, sergeants, servants, maidservants, etc. add up to no less than [-] people.

The convoy is long, with a total of more than 100 huge carriages, pulled by armored elephants, driving heavily to the capital city of Dasong...Yong'an.
