I have Taoism and can understand other worlds

Chapter 239 Visitors from Taishen Palace

"Elders, why do you look like this?" Jiang Wen looked at their troubled expressions and asked somewhat unclearly.

Since it was a letter from the Nanqi royal family asking for help and alliance to Tai Cang, why did the elders of the Ming royal family look like this.

"Young Master, you don't know something." An old man said with a bitter smile. "Today's Nanqi is no longer under the control of Emperor Rui. A few months ago, the Li Xuan clan took advantage of the weakness of our four major clans and took the opportunity to mobilize troops into the royal capital. They imprisoned Emperor Rui and controlled the Nanqi Communist Party in the name of auxiliary government. The position of Lord. Our four tribes now exist in name only."

"Li Xuan imprisoned Emperor Rui? Why didn't anyone resist?" Jiang Wen couldn't help but ask.

"In the Battle of Sanqi, all the elite warriors of our four royal families were wiped out. The Li Xuan clan is so powerful that even if we unite, we are difficult to defeat. The rule of the Nanqi people is that the powerful person is the co-leader. Previously, our four royal families were still I was able to suppress the Li Xuan clan, but now I am unable to resist."

After the old man finished speaking, there was a sigh in the palace.He was explaining the current situation to Jiang Wen in detail, and only then did Jiang Wen understand how complicated the Nanqi people were.

The Li Xuan family usurped the position of co-owner. Although the various tribes in Nanqi were dissatisfied, they could only swallow their anger.The four royal families have now become vassals and can only be at the mercy of Li Xuan.

When the patriarch of the Li Xuan clan ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to announce the abolition of the royal family's joint discussion of political affairs.In the future, when the co-leader is appointed, the consent of the four clans cannot be used, but the king's decree is required to abdicate.

Although the four tribes were greatly dissatisfied, they were stronger than others, so they could only hold back for the time being.Secretly accumulate strength and wait until the day comes to overthrow the rule of the Li Xuan family.

It's just that the Li Xuan clan is in power, so how can the four clans live comfortably?Various orders were issued, both overtly and covertly, targeting the four tribes.Not only did they divide the rights of the four clans, but they also enfeoffed each branch of the clan.As a result, the four tribes are now in constant civil strife and their hearts are divided.Even the Mingwang clan was separated from the Li Xuan clan by various factions because of the loss of their clan leader. Only a hundred or so people are left in this huge clan.

What a good idea.Jiang Wen admired in his heart.This enfeoffment system is indeed a good way to deal with the four royal families.Once the side branch gains power, it will inevitably compete for more rights.By then, the four royal families will have too much time to take care of themselves and will have no time to disrupt the political affairs of the Nanqi people.

What's more, now that the four major royal families are in decline, it is even more impossible for the Li Xuan clan to allow them to recover.I'm afraid there will be more tricks in the future, and the life of the direct line of the four royal families will be even more difficult.

"So this covenant can't be fulfilled?" Jiang Wen asked.

"That's not true. Nowadays, Nanqi is being plundered by foreign tribes everywhere. The place for survival is quite worrying. If the young master comes with the oral instructions of the Taicang kings, he can indeed convince the Li Xuan clan leader. It's just that the young master's identity Especially, we are just afraid that the young master will suffer." The old men sighed.

"Don't worry, I have made an appointment with the Tai Cang kings, and Li Xuan will not do anything to me." Jiang Wen said with a smile.Since Li Xuan was able to take such measures as enfeoffment, he would not mess up the matter because of him.Now that the Nanqi people are weak, they definitely need Tai Cang's protection. As Tai Cang's envoy, the other party will not touch him rashly.

What's more, even if Li Xuan wanted to touch him, he would not be afraid at all.

Seeing that Jiang Wen had made up his mind, the old men had no choice but to obey his words.Now all the direct descendants of the Mingwang clan were lost in that war, and only Jiang Wen came back. He can be regarded as the future hope of the Mingwang clan.

During the reception of the Ming royal family, Jiang Wen went into the house to rest.Although today's beds are much simpler than those of later generations, there are no fine beddings or down blankets.There was only a bed made of hay, with a blanket woven from animal skins on top.

It was comfortable to lie on, much better than Tai Cang's hard bed.After all, he and Jiang Wenji slept in a pit for a long time when they were in Taicang.Later, when Tianyuan City developed, wooden couches were installed.

Xiu Qi and Xue also arrived at the base before nightfall. The people of the Ming royal family warmly welcomed them when they heard that they were Jiang Wen's disciples.A group of old men looked at Xue from side to side, and Xue looked very shy at the end.

Jiang Wen almost spit out water when he learned that the elders of the Ming royal family thought Xue was his concubine, and quickly explained to everyone that Xue was really his disciple.The old men could only feel sorry for this matter.

After all, judging from Xue's appearance, she is considered a good candidate for the princess.Xiu Qi on the side felt happy or sad, and finally smiled after listening to Jiang Wen's words.However, Xue was in a bad mood and finally fell asleep after eating something.

The next day Jiang smelled it and went to the imperial palace to compare the strongholds of each family.The Imperial Palace is majestic, just like mountains, and the buildings of the Imperial Palace can be seen from a distance.

Just walking in, you can feel the prosperity of Nanqi people.It is difficult to imagine how the Nanqi people of this era built such a huge complex of buildings.

Walking into the imperial palace is like walking into the forest.The palaces are in a row, and the ground is paved with flat stone slabs.At a glance, it looks majestic.

Guards from the imperial palace could be seen everywhere, and after learning Jiang Wen's identity, they all respectfully let him go.

Jiang Wen easily met the current leader of the Li Xuan clan in Nanqi, Li Chang.

Li Chang is a handsome man with a green beard. His facial features are straight and strong, and his brows seem to be glaring like a tiger.Just looking at it makes people feel frightened, and before they realize it, they lower their heads in fear.

He knelt down in front of the desk, holding a bamboo slip in his hand.When he heard Jiang Wen's footsteps, he raised his head and looked at him.

"Are you Mingwen?" Li Chang asked in a deep voice.

"Exactly." Jiang Wen nodded. His current identity is the young master of the Mingwang clan, with a surname of Ming and a famous name.After King Ming, the only direct descendant of the royal family.

"I have heard about you, and I also know what happened between Emperor Rui and Tai Cang." Li Chang said slowly.He put down the bamboo slips in his hands, stood up and walked down.

The sound of footsteps echoed in the empty hall, and several bronze incense burners burned incense wood to warm the hall.

Li Chang walked up to Jiang Wen and looked into his eyes.The two looked at each other with no hint of cowardice in their eyes.The atmosphere in the palace was dull and depressing.The people waiting could feel something, but they all lowered their heads and dared not speak.

After a long time, Li Chang suddenly smiled.He reached out and patted Jiang Wen on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay! As expected of a descendant of Queen Ming, he is much better than those trash. Since he is Tai Cang's envoy, I should also treat him with the etiquette of an envoy. Go and pass the message, later There’s a banquet in the court.”

Jiang Wen heard this and was about to say something when he heard loud laughter coming from outside the hall.An old man with a long beard walked slowly into the palace.

The old man looked at the two people in the palace and focused on Jiang Wen.After being stunned for a moment, he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I passed by this place and watched its purple energy rising to the east. It is extremely precious. I came here to meet the future emperor of Nanqi."

"Who are you? How dare you break into our Nanqi Emperor's Palace?" Li Chang scolded sternly. "Here, don't let me capture this person yet."

A group of warriors poured in from the palace, all facing the old man with weapons in hand.

The old man calmly adjusted his sleeves and saluted Li Chang: "I am a monk from the Taishen Palace. I am passing by here now and I came here to meet the future emperor."

Taishen Palace?Monk?Jiang Wen looked at the old man and felt surprised in his heart.
