Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 261

Shan Yan is the spy of Emperor Yu Xian?

She doesn't want to save Emperor Zhaoxing?
"Isn't she using the technique of life from all things to forcibly extend the life of the faint king?"

Li Shabai nodded first, then shook his head, which made Tai Bu even more puzzled.

"Tai Bu, Shan Yan is indeed renewing the life of the Hun Lord, but at the same time she is also renewing the life of the Gu worms. As for the origin of the Gu worms on the Hun Lord, Li really doesn't know."

Tai Bu's face did not change: "I don't know the origin of this Gu insect, but Li Painter said that Shanyan not only continued his life for the faint king, but also continued his life for the Gu insect. What's the reason?"

Li Shabai said: "In order to keep the Hunjun in a coma, the Taibo is on the Hunjun, have you ever seen things like lips?"

"I saw a lot."

"If Li's guess is correct, those things that look like lips are the remnants of gluttonous souls. These things are on the body of the Hunjun, and they want to help the Hunjun get rid of the Gu worms.

But Shanyan has been using the technique of the birth of all things to make the Gu worms multiply continuously, and the gluttonous remnant souls are constantly devoured, but the number of Gu worms has not decreased, so Zhao Xing has been in a coma. "

Tai Bu thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Why did Shan Yan do this? Why did he let the faint king sleep all the time?"

Li Shabai said: "Let's think about it, why does Shanyan want to associate with King Huai? Even if King Huai gave Shanyan a golden mountain, Shanyan would not be able to use it. She is the little Zongbo of Zhuque Palace, and all her food and clothing are in Zhuque Palace. , doesn’t she dare to move Jinshan back?”

Tai Bu thought for a moment and said: "If you don't want to be rich and honored by King Huai, then is it the blood sap of King Huai? To improve your cultivation?"

Li Shabai took a sip of tea, picked up a pen and paper, and started to paint. He drew Shan Yan and King Huai, who were having a drink under the moonlight.

"When Shanyan came to Daxuan Capital, she already had a cultivation level of the fifth rank. For more than ten years, she was only promoted to the fourth rank.
During this period, Xu followed King Huai to drink blood sap a few times, either to heal his wounds or to improve his cultivation.
But she was always under Yan Huan's nose, Yan Huan hated the blood tree so much, if she drank the blood tree juice frequently, how could Yan Huan not know? "

"It's not for the blood tree..." Tai Bu pondered for a long time, "It's still for eradicating the faint king!"

Li Shabai continued to paint, drawing a portrait of Emperor Zhaoxing.

"Whether you are a fool or not is not important to Shanyan, nor is it important to Yu Xianhuang, because this is my lord.

But Emperor Yu Xian needs a Daxuan Emperor who is beneficial to Yu Xian, but Zhaoxing only has his own interests in mind, and for his own interests, he can push Daxuan into the flames at any time, not to mention the ally Yu Xian,
During Zhaoxing's [-] years of reign, he never gave Yu Xian any help. Such an emperor was obviously not what Yu Xianhuang wanted. "

Tai Bu frowned: "Could it be that King Huai is better than him?"

Li Shabai drew another portrait of King Huai, with a group of subordinates rushing towards the palace aggressively behind him. This was the picture of him planning to rebel.

"King Huai is a villain, a heinous person, but in the end he is stronger than Zhao Xing. Moreover, King Huai has a deep personal relationship with Emperor Yu Xian. Helping him replace Zhao Xing is beneficial to Emperor Yu Xian."

Tai Bu thought about the follow-up things again: "Dai Shanyan was captured, entered the palace, and helped the emperor kill Shengci elder Liang Gongping, in order to gain Zhaoxing's trust and thus get a good opportunity to assassinate Emperor Zhaoxing?"

Li Shabai continued to grind, and drew a portrait of Shanyan next to Emperor Zhaoxing: "Since Emperor Zhaoxing got a Gu technique, Shanyan has a chance to assassinate Zhaoxing. She only needs to renew the life of the Gu insect, but If Zhaoxing’s life is not renewed, Zhaoxing will definitely not live today.”

Tai Bu said: "Then why did he let Zhao Xing live to this day?"

Li Shabai said: "Because if Zhaoxing dies, the crown prince will succeed."

"Is the crown prince not as good as Zhaoxing? Could it be that Emperor Yu Xian doesn't want the crown prince to succeed?"

Li Shabai said: "For me, Daxuan, the crown prince's succession is the blessing of the country and the common people. He tried to raise arms for Yu Xian. Presumably, Yu Xianhuang also wanted the prince to replace Zhaoxing. I'm afraid Yu Xianhuang has changed his mind."

Tai Bu frowned and said, "How do you say that?"

Li Shabai drew a portrait of the prince leading the army to fight in the ice and snow: "The prince conquered the whole of Yongzhou and killed more than [-] Tunu. If Tai Bu is the king of Yu Xian, why not be afraid of him?"

Tai Bu shook his head and said: "His Royal Highness is a bit cruel to Tu Nu, but that is against foreign enemies, not friendly nations."

Li Shabai held the inkstone and studied the ink carefully, laughing as he studied: "Tai Bu is forgetful, but he forgot the "Wo Yun He Shu" ten years ago. Tu Nu is also a Daxuan friend, and we are the elders of Daxuan. , Our Liang Daguan’s family used to be called uncle, Yongzhou lost half of the land for this, and Ren Daming is still living in the duke’s mansion.”

Tai Bu fell silent.

This matter is too likely to be forgotten.

No one in the Xuan Dynasty wanted to mention this matter, nor did they want to mention "Wo Yun He Shu".

This peace book also has a name called "The Biography of the Worthy Nephew Xianhong Xiao".

Twenty years ago, Tu Nu went south and announced the Northern Expedition. A fierce battle lasted for ten years.

Near the end of the war, Daxuan gradually turned the tide of the war by virtue of his strong national strength, gained the upper hand in all battles, and captured six provinces of Tunu one after another.

Seeing this great situation, Emperor Zhaoxing decided to conquer in person, and with the power of the emperor, won the final victory of the war.

At that time, Liang Jixiong, the elder of Shengwei, was on the battlefield. He felt that the emperor's personal conquest would boost morale, and it was also a good opportunity to establish prestige for the clan, so he agreed, and made preparations for the emperor's personal conquest together with other elders.

It's just that Liang Jixiong never dreamed that this was a fatal mistake he made.

After Emperor Zhaoxing arrived in the northern border, he demanded that the whole army fight a big victory to show the momentum of the emperor's personal conquest.

But at that time, the conditions for a big war were not met, which annoyed Emperor Zhaoxing very much.

Under the order of Emperor Zhaoxing, Ren Songde, who was then the Taifu and the chief assistant of the cabinet, forced Chu Xin to attack Woyun City by force. After paying a huge price, Chu Xin captured Woyun City.

Emperor Zhaoxing didn't care how much the battle cost, he only cared about one thing, the emperor's personal conquest must start with a victory, this is the minimum majesty of the emperor.

He entered Woyun City with the highest standard of etiquette. He planned to reward his merits first, and then continue to lead his troops to attack the city. However, he did not expect that Woyun City would be surrounded by Tunu instead because the follow-up front did not keep up.

This is the consequence of Emperor Zhaoxing forcing Chu Xin to attack the city.

Fortunately, this consequence is not irreversible.

Chu Xin has sufficient food and grass, and can hold on for several months in the city.

But Emperor Zhaoxing asked to leave Woyun City, and refused to stay for a moment.

If the emperor fled before the battle, the morale of the army would be in turmoil. Liang Jixiong was furious and wanted to use family law to force Emperor Zhaoxing to stay in Woyun City for two months.

Liang Jixiong also promised that as long as he stays in Woyun City for two months, he will definitely find a good strategy to defeat the enemy. After two months, Tunu will be defeated, and this battle will surely become a good story of the Daxuan Clan.

Emperor Zhaoxing agreed, but Liang Jixiong didn't expect that he overestimated Emperor Zhaoxing's courage and underestimated his scheming.

Emperor Zhaoxing stayed in the city for five days without incident.

On the sixth day, Tunu learned that Emperor Zhaoxing was in the city and began to attack the city with all his strength.

Emperor Zhaoxing personally went up to the top of the city to command the battle. This was the first time he had truly felt the threat to his life after he came out of his mother's womb.

After commanding for less than half a day, Emperor Zhaoxing was frightened and fell ill.

That night, while Liang Jixiong was out fighting, Emperor Zhaoxing sent Ren Songde, the chief assistant of the cabinet, out of the city to make peace with Tunu.

Ren Songde talked for three days and three nights in the Tunu camp, and begged for a piece of paper and a book, which is the famous "Woyun Heshu", which made Xuan Erlang cry and shocked King Tunu.

King Tunu was really shocked. Unexpectedly, Emperor Zhaoxing could agree to such a harsh condition.

In "Wo Yun He Shu", Emperor Zhaoxing promised three things:

One is to give money, the amount is uncertain, let's see how much Emperor Tunu wants, Daxuan is so generous!
The second is to give food. All the food produced in the three frontier continents was given to Emperor Tunu, and no grain was left. Daxuan is so generous!

The third is to give land, capture Tunu’s land, not keep any of it, and return it all to Tunu. Cut off half of Yongzhou and dedicate it to Emperor Tunu. It is only repaired for the two families. Daxuan is so real!

The most commendable thing is that Emperor Zhaoxing was five years older than King Tunu. In his letters, he called himself his nephew and called King Tunu his uncle.

How courageous it is!

How broad-minded this must be!

Tunu was also sensible. Seeing that Emperor Daxuan had such sincerity, when he received the silver, grain and land, the war would be over.

The fierce battle that lasted for ten years ended in such an absurd way!

This is why Liang Jixiong is reluctant to bring up the Northern Expedition.

This is why anyone who participated in the Northern Expedition was reluctant to mention that war.

But Emperor Zhaoxing was very satisfied with the result, because he returned to the capital alive.

As for how to explain after returning, it is very simple. An imperial edict was issued to the whole country, announcing a great victory.

Rewards should be awarded, and celebrations should be celebrated. As long as enough edicts are written, this matter will be as real as it is!
At that time, it was easy to write an edict. Ren Songde was obedient to Emperor Zhaoxing, and Emperor Zhaoxing had never been restricted by the cabinet.

This war was about to be successfully perfunctory by Emperor Zhaoxing, but Tu Nu did something that Emperor Zhaoxing could not bear.

They published "Wo Yun He Shu" into a book, sold it in Tunu country, and changed the name of the book to "The Legend of Xianhong Xiao, the Nephew".

Liang Xianhong was the name of Emperor Zhaoxing. As a nephew, he was very filial, and Emperor Tunu specially asked someone to write a biography for him.

This book is well-known in Tunu, and what Emperor Zhaoxing couldn't stand was that this book also flowed into Daxuan.

This was a serious insult to the majesty of the royal family. In a fit of rage, Emperor Zhaoxing issued an edict that all those who possessed the "Biography of the Worthy Nephew Xianhong and Filial Piety" would be killed!
Most of the Xuanren who held "The Biography of Xianhong Xiaoxian, the Nephew Xianhong" were basically killed, but this was of little use.

Tu Nu still had this book in his hand, and Emperor Zhaoxing didn't dare to kill Tu Nu. After a while, "The Legend of the Worthy Nephew Xianhong Xiao" was spread into Daxuan again.

Xuanren was angry, Xuanren's knees were straight, and he couldn't bear this humiliation!
The whole country was full of curses, officials and ministers were admonished, and the memorials were as sparse as snow.

Among the clan, there was even a voice for Emperor Zhaoxing to abdicate.

Emperor Zhaoxing was also very angry, and issued another edict, angrily exposing the conspiracy of Ren Songde, the chief assistant of the cabinet, saying that Ren Songde forced the emperor to do these things.

Emperor Zhaoxing originally wanted to execute Ren Songde to calm the storm.

Unexpectedly, Tunu liked Ren Songde very much. They warned Emperor Zhaoxing not to kill Ren Songde. Instead of killing Ren Songde, they had to make Ren Songde Duke, otherwise they would start another war.

Emperor Zhaoxing didn't want to go to the battlefield anymore, so he immediately appointed Song De as Duke Protector. This person is still alive and still a Duke.

Li Shabai painted all the causes and consequences of signing "Wo Yun He Shu" on the scroll.

After drawing more than a dozen pieces in succession, Li Shabai sighed: "Since the founding of the country, in terms of dealing with power and manipulating subjects, no monarch has ever been better than Zhaoxing!

But when it comes to expanding territory and repelling foreign enemies, Zhaoxing is more cowardly and stupid than any other monarch!
This person is really unpredictable! "

Tai Budao: "Zhao Xing is somewhat tyrannical towards Yu Xian Huang."

"That's because Emperor Yu Xian's power is weak, and Zhao Xing is naturally tyrannical. When Emperor Yu Xian's power is strong, Zhao Xing will naturally bow his head."

Li Shabai drew a picture, on the picture, Emperor Yu Xian was fighting with Gu Shi.

"The star official of the Gu Sect has fallen, Yu Xianhuang is annexing the forces of the Gu Sect, and now he is winning consecutive battles. Tai Bu should know about this."

Li Shabai drew another picture scroll, on which Yu Xianhuang led the army to conquer the Great Xuan.

"Yu Xianhuang must be hesitant about this at this time. If he can unify Yu Xian, it will be beneficial to keep Zhaoxing.

If he is unable to unify Yu Xian, the succession of the crown prince will be beneficial to him.
So he made Shan Yan keep delaying and kept Zhao Xing in a coma. "

Tai Bu understood why Shanyan didn't kill Emperor Zhaoxing, but he still didn't understand one thing: "Why can't I kill Zhaoxing? No mortal can escape my poison."

In fact, Tai Bu should be able to think clearly about this problem, but when the assassination failed, Tai Bu suffered a serious blow, his thoughts were in a mess, and he couldn't think anything clearly.

Li Shabai could understand Taibu's situation, so he continued to paint, and drew a Zhaoxing Emperor, with his mouth and Gu worms all over his body.

Li Shabai waved his hand, and the picture changed.

The Gu insects on Emperor Zhaoxing were gone, and he sat in the center of the scroll with a smile on his face.

Tai Bu pressed the center of his brows, and bursts of severe pain hit him, this time his thinking became clear, and what he should think clearly, he also thought clearly.

Li Shabai said: "Zhaoxing has the remnant soul of Taotie, and Taotie can devour all things and digest all things.
His mouth all over his body digested the poison in Zhaoxing's body. The poison can't multiply, and it will be gone when it dissolves. Therefore, the poison of Taibo can't kill Zhaoxing, but it will kill all the Gu worms that can reproduce in his body. He was poisoned to death, so he said, Tai Bu saved the faint king. "

Tai Bu, who always felt that he had no plans, rubbed his forehead and murmured: "How could this be? How can this be good?"

Xu Zhiqiong said angrily: "What else can I do? You have messed up everything! If you want to kill him, you can stab him. If you kill him with a knife, you'll pretend to be a woman and squeeze your conscience. Why do you do so much work?"

Tai Bu raised his head and saw Xu Zhiqiong sitting beside him.

When did he come?Where did it come from?

Is this Li Shabai's method?

Taibo said in surprise: "Kangsheng, when did you return to the capital?"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Where is this capital city? This is Tunu's southern imperial province!"

This is Lansuo City in the Southern Royal Province of Tunu, the largest city in the south of Tunu.

In this city, there is also a Li Qi Tea House, which is almost exactly the same as the Li Qi Tea House in the capital.

Xu Zhiqiong looked at the picture scrolls all over the room, and felt that "Wo Yun He Shu" ten years ago was about to be staged again.

"What should I do? Is this battle for nothing!"
