Two Realms: Starting from playing the role of Raibe Masami

"I have something to say."

In the Jinluan Palace, Li Chongyun, the Minister of Rites, left his job immediately after Emperor Daxuan stopped coughing.

"Well...play it."

Emperor Daxuan waved his hand and agreed very casually.

Li Chongyun held the wat board in both hands, lowered his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I thought that Wang Zhezhong, the Minister of Household Affairs, could share your Majesty's worries and resolve this matter."

After the words fell, the atmosphere in Jinluan Palace became even stranger.

Among the officials above the court, some looked at Li Chongyun, and some looked at Wang Zhezhong.

Threads of complicated emotions were tumbling in Baiguan's heart.

The Li family of Tianshui and the Wang family of Sanhuai were both aristocratic families in the Daxuan Dynasty. They were powerful, had a long history, and had a rich heritage.

The two aristocratic families have spread out, and there are branches and collaterals in all parts of the Daxuan world.

Li Chongyun and Wang Zhezhong were representatives of the Tianshui Li family and the Sanhuai Wang family respectively. After entering the court, discord arose.

And because Li Chongyun was born in Panlong Mansion in Luanzhou, and Wang Zhezhong was born in Shenglong Mansion in Luanzhou, the two were even more at odds with each other.

In the past, because Emperor Daxuan had no understanding of political affairs, the two of them only had a secret rivalry and did not openly show off.

However, now, Li Chongyun took advantage of Emperor Daxuan's emphasis on Luanzhou Taiyi's rescue of Ku Tianzun and launched an attack on Wang Zhezhong.

Is this Li Chongyun's personal action or the overall will of the Tianshui Li family?

If it was an individual action, why would Li Chongyun do this?
If it is the will of the whole, is the Tianshui Li family going to strangle the Sanhuai Wang family, or does it have other plans?
How will Wang Zhezhong respond?

How will the Sanhuai Wang family react?

One question after another emerged in Baiguan's mind.

All kinds of speculations continue to arise and die.

"Oh?"

Emperor Daxuan exclaimed, and asked with a half-smile on his face, "I thought Li Aiqing was leaving because she wanted to volunteer, but I didn't expect that she was recommending Wang Aiqing. Tell me, I want to hear why Li Aiqing recommended Wang Aiqing."

Li Chongyun heard this and quickly replied:
"Your Majesty, I also want to volunteer, but I don't have the ability. I'm really ashamed.

There are three reasons why I recommend Wang Zhezhong, the Minister of Household Affairs.

First, Wang Shilang was born in Shenglong Mansion in Luanzhou, adjacent to Yunlong Mansion, and he knew Luanzhou and Yunlong Mansion very well;
Secondly, Wang Shilang has a son-in-law named Gong Zizhen, who is the magistrate of Danyin County where Taiyi, the son of Lao Shi, made his fortune, so he can coordinate internally and externally;

Thirdly, Wang Shilang was born in the Wang family of Sanhuai and was extremely familiar with the affairs of gods. He had represented the court many times to destroy false gods and evil gods who did not listen to the court's propaganda.

With these three points in mind, I think that if Wang Shilang goes out, he will be able to capture him, share your majesty's worries, and exterminate Lao Shizi Taiyi for the court to save Ku Tianzun. "

After finishing his words, Li Chongyun bowed deeply and waited for Emperor Daxuan's comments.

After hearing these words, many of the officials in the court looked at Wang Zhezhong unabashedly, looking at Wang Zhezhong who seemed unmoved.

According to Li Chongyun, Wang Zhezhong, the Minister of Household Affairs, is the most suitable person to take care of His Majesty's worries.

Many officials who also had the ability to share Emperor Daxuan's worries began to have related thoughts in their minds. Should they follow the reason given by Li Chongyun and push it?

Aren’t you guys always saying that a dead Taoist friend will never die a poor Taoist?

Wang Zhezhong, who seemed unmoved, also pricked up his ears at this time, waiting for Emperor Daxuan's evaluation.

Emperor Daxuan did not let Li Chongyun, Wang Zhezhong, and Baiguan wait. He laughed, and then asked with a smile: "Li Aiqing, you were also born in Panlong Mansion in Luanzhou, not far from Yunlong Mansion, and you also have relatives here. As an official in Yunlong Mansion, you, Tianshui Li, are also familiar with the affairs of gods and have experience in destroying false gods and evil gods who do not listen to preaching. According to your three points, Li Aiqing is also suitable to share my worries. "

As he spoke, Emperor Daxuan's face gradually darkened, and his voice became cold: "Li Aiqing, are you unable to share my worries, or are you unwilling to share my worries? Are you recommending Wang Aiqing to me, or are you using me to deal with Wang Aiqing? ?”

"I am terrified."

Li Chongyun made a grand salute and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am not unwilling to share your Majesty's worries, and I don't have the courage to do anything to trap him. If your Majesty does not believe it, I am willing to go with Wang Shilang!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chongyun took a crack.

These words were spoken with sincerity and his attitude was extremely clear.

When people listen to it, they feel like they have to believe it.

However, the more this happened, the more Emperor Daxuan and the officials in the court felt that Li Chongyun had ulterior motives and unclear motives.

If he had not committed several major deaths and purged the court many times, those who could stay would be those who could be trusted, such as Xiao Tingdian, the Minister of Household Affairs, etc., or those who could not be eliminated at present, such as the Wang family of Sanhuai and Li Tianshui. Shi et al.

Emperor Daxuan would definitely shout, "Here comes someone, drag him out and chop him down."

The corners of his eyes twitched a few times, and a smile appeared on Emperor Daxuan's face: "Li Aiqing is full of heart, I understand, please get up quickly."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Li Chongyun kowtowed again, stood up slowly, and stepped aside.

Emperor Daxuan turned to the speechless Wang Zhezhong: "Wang Aiqing, what do you think of Li Aiqing's recommendation?"

Before entering the palace, Xiao Tingdian, the Minister of Household Affairs, specially told Wang Zhezhong, but he only listened but did not speak.

Wang Zhezhong also believes that doing so is extremely beneficial to him.

However, when Emperor Daxuan asked, how could he not speak?
Although the Sanhuai Wang family was strong and could make Emperor Daxuan fearful, they could not contradict Emperor Daxuan everywhere.

If Emperor Daxuan must punish Wang Zhezhong for despising the Holy Bow, the Sanhuai Wang family will not fight with all their strength to protect Wang Zhezhong.

Wang Zhezhong will only be abandoned after exchanging some benefits and after expressing his attitude and position.

This is the way for aristocratic families to survive, and it has always been like this.

Wang Zhezhong knew this very well, so he didn't dare not reply.

Just when Wang Zhezhong was about to leave, Xiao Tingdian, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, took the lead and announced: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Household Affairs has many affairs, and I cannot do without the help of Wang Shilang."

"Ok?"

Emperor Daxuan glanced sideways slightly, looked at his confidant Xiao Tingdian with great displeasure, and asked with a smile on his face, "What does Xiao Aiqing mean by this? Such a large household department cannot do without Xiao Aiqing, I believe it. Why can’t we live without Wang Aiqing?”

Xiao Tingdian was silent for a moment, raised his head, looked directly into the eyes of Emperor Daxuan, violating etiquette, and said word by word: "Because His Majesty wants to command heaven to consecrate the gods again."

As soon as these words came out, Jinluan Palace instantly turned into an ice hell.

It was as if there was a whooshing bone-scratching wind blowing on them, and all the officials felt a biting coldness, and each of them lost their minds.

Some people whose mental state is not cultivated enough even show dumbfounded expressions.

The Daxuan Dynasty enshrined gods by imperial edict, and had always attached great importance to offering sacrifices to heaven and ennobling gods.

Only the current emperor can change the name and connotation of it, and decree it from heaven to be a god.

There is only one word difference between the two, but their meanings are far different.

Sacrifice to heaven and ennoble gods still respect the way of heaven, and place the position of Emperor Daxuan Emperor under the way of heaven.

To enshrine the gods by imperial decree is to place the position of the emperor of the Daxuan Dynasty above the law of heaven!

The reasons why the current Emperor Daxuan did this are all very clear to all the officials in the court, the aristocratic families, the spiritual forces, including the demons and ghosts.

That is, he wanted to proclaim himself the Emperor of Heaven. He is not only the emperor of the world, but also the emperor of heaven, and even more so the emperor of heaven!
It’s not like no one has objected to such a wishful thinking.

However, Emperor Daxuan held supreme power. Even though the Daxuan Dynasty's national power was declining, he was still the strongest person in the world.

As long as he is willing to pay the price and delay the step of declaring heaven to become a god again, he can eliminate all the objects he wants to eliminate.

Including the newly emerged Taiyi Ku Tianzun from Luanzhou.

"Hehe...hahaha..."

Emperor Daxuan's face was gloomy for a while, then he suddenly burst into laughter.

This smile swept away the cold atmosphere in the Jinluan Palace and restored the air flow.

However, the officials did not dare to be careless and still held their breath and concentrated.

It is a well-known fact that the emperor was tyrannical.

The more he laughs like this, the more angry he is and the more he wants to vent.

No one wants to be the object for the emperor to vent his anger, sacrificing his future, his head and his family flag.

Fortunately, this time, Emperor Daxuan did not get angry because of the roundabout admonishment of Xiao Tingdian, the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs. However, after laughing, he suddenly said with an expressionless face: "With Wang Aiqing as the main leader and Li Aiqing as the assistant, we will unite the army. , set off today to exterminate Naoshizi Taiyi and save Ku Tianzun."

After saying that, Emperor Daxuan stood up, ignored the pain and pleading in Xiao Tingdian's eyes, rolled up his sleeves and left: "I have made up my mind and give you ten days."

After saying these words, Emperor Daxuan walked out of the Jinluan Palace in a few steps, without any of the sickly appearance before.

The eunuch standing diagonally below the throne waved his whisk and shouted loudly: "Retreat from the court."

The Han generals then shouted: "Retreat from the court."

All the officials turned around, and then several prime ministers and assistants took the lead, followed closely by the ministers and ministers of various ministries, the court officials, and the capital officials, and walked out of the Jinluan Hall one by one.

When they came outside the palace, without the eunuchs and Han generals to correct them, the officials were divided into many small circles in twos and threes.

Wang Gui, a member of Zhongshu's family, waved to Wang Zhezhong.

"Uncle."

Wang Zhezhong stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

"Ah."

Wang Gui responded lightly, and then said calmly, "You have to thank Mr. Xiao. Also, don't delay when you get home, leave your family behind, and go on your journey alone."

"Yes, uncle."

Wang Zhezhong bowed respectfully again, turned around and retreated.

Within a few steps, Wang Zhezhong came to Xiao Tingdian, who was obviously waiting for him.

"Zhezhong, do you know what I mean?"

Xiao Tingdian looked directly into Wang Zhezhong's eyes and asked seriously.

"I don't know."

After thinking about it, Wang Zhezhong gave an ambiguous but extremely candid answer.

"You will know later."

Xiao Tingdian patted Wang Zhezhong on the shoulder, then put his palms downward, held Wang Zhezhong's waist, and pushed him forward.

"Stand up straight, hold your head up, and hold your chest out."

While pushing gently, Xiao Tingdian said softly, "After you walk out of the palace today, you will be the most watched person in the Daxuan world. Don't show your timidity, do you understand?"

"clear."

With the help of Xiao Tingdian's push, Wang Zhezhong straightened his waist, held his head high, and his whole body changed instantly.

He is a man of high stature. In this turbid world and dangerous court, he has been arrogant and courteous for a long time, and his nature has become more and more suppressed.

The expectations of the family, the dependence of the family, and all kinds of heavy burdens on the body have made this depression even heavier. You have to plan everything and be prepared at all times.

The mask he wore before is now deeply imprinted into his bones and has become his true face.

Wang Zhezhong hadn't stood so upright for a long, long time, and hadn't been so angry for a long, long time.

The contents of the six letters from his incompetent son-in-law Gong Zizhen, as well as his psychological changes after receiving these six letters, flashed in Wang Zhezhong's mind one by one.

Many doubts, many scruples, many calculations quietly disappeared in the process of standing upright.

"it is good."

Xiao Tingdian looked at Wang Zhezhong's changes, admired with joy, and then said softly, "The hundreds of years of friendship between the Xiao family of Jiangshan and the Wang family of Sanhuai belong to you."

After saying this, Xiao Tingdian pushed hard and released his right hand that was supporting Wang Zhezhong's waist.

Wang Zhezhong moved forward and never looked back.

Outside the palace gate, Li Chongyun stood by the road, waiting for Wang Zhezhong's arrival.

"Your Majesty, you and I should cooperate sincerely when we work together. Mr. Li has prepared a table of fine wine in Songhe Tower and invites Your Majesty to express his gratitude."

Facing Wang Zhezhong who came over, Li Chongyun extended the invitation with great enthusiasm.

"It's disrespectful."

Wang Zhezhong cupped his hands and agreed.

With either deliberate gazes or casual glances, Wang Zhezhong and Li Chongyun left together and headed for the prestigious Songhe Tower in Kyoto.

Just two carriages, one in front and one behind, quietly turned a corner while passing a crossroads.

Not long after turning the corner, the coachman seemed to realize that he was going the wrong way, so he turned back and continued towards Songhe Tower.

Li Chongyun, who was supposed to be sitting in the carriage in front, appeared in Wang Zhezhong's carriage.

"Every move on the streets of Kyoto cannot be hidden from His Majesty's eyes. Why does Mr. Li do it so many times?"

Wang Zhezhong looked at Li Chongyun who was sitting opposite him with some confusion, and asked doubtfully, "Furthermore, Mr. Li's words and deeds today seem to have a deep meaning. It doesn't seem like he wants to dig a hole to bury Mr. Wang, but more like he wants to use this opportunity." The situation unfolded, allowing Li Gong to go to Luanzhou to attack Taiyi and save Ku Tianzun. "

Li Chongyun lifted the corner of the car curtain, looked at the street with not many pedestrians outside the car, and then said: "The prince did not guess wrong. Mr. Li did these things just because he wanted to go back to Luanzhou and see the Taiyi rescuer." What kind of god is Kutianzun? If he is a swindler, someone like Li will use all his troops to bulldoze him..."

"If he truly deserves his name, what will Mr. Li do?"

With a glint in his eyes, Wang Zhezhong followed Li Chongyun's words and asked in a deep voice.

Li Chongyun followed Wang Zhezhong's gaze and looked at Wang Zhezhong, who had his back straight, and then he also straightened his back and sat upright.

It was only then that Wang Zhezhong discovered that Li Chongyun was extremely tall and tall, not like the timid person he usually was. He was also a tall and tall man.

Just listen to Li Chongyun say slowly: "The prince is unaware of something. A certain surname is Li, but his given name is not 'Chongyun', and he is not from Panlong Mansion, but..."

"Li Jianyi, Danyin County, Yunlong Prefecture." (End of this chapter)
