The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Chapter 543 A skinny camel is bigger than a horse
Yongzhou, Luoan.

Luo'an was the seat of Yongzhou, and the residence of King Yong was also here.

Anyone of the six kings of Daxuan could rebel except King Yong. It's not that he doesn't want to, but that he doesn't dare.

Because if Luo An walked more than a hundred miles west, he would reach Tianyin Mountain, and the Academy of Philosophers, the holy place in the hearts of all Confucian scholars in the world, was on Tianyin Mountain.

If Prince Yong dared to openly raise the banner of rebellion and establish his own regime, he would probably be suppressed immediately by the School of Philosophy.

Wan Pingchuan and his group also considered using this place as a temporary administrative center, or even making it a new capital in the future. This was also their consideration.

Regardless of any previous rifts between the Academy of Hundred Schools and Daxuan, the Academy of Hundred Schools is still very reliable in supporting orthodoxy.

"The country is in such a difficult situation, I don't know how Fang Xun and Zhao Ning feel."

On the official road outside Luoan City, Tie Wuxin sighed.

At this moment, he looked exhausted and he didn't know how many times he sighed today.

Looking at the city gate right in front of him, Tie Wuxin finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least the current situation had not deteriorated to the worst point.

Although the Daxuan royal family has fallen on hard times, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.

Although the imperial court lost nearly half of its Zhenwu masters in the battle of Shuntian Prefecture, there were still seven left besides the six kings.

If there is support from Confucianism, and Wan Pingchuan works hard to restore the old country bit by bit, there is still a chance for revival.

But when Tie Wuxin thought of Fang Xun, his mood became complicated again.

He firmly believed that if Wan Pingchuan wanted to revive Daxuan, the biggest obstacle would be Fang Xun.

Tie Wuxin walked towards the city gate with mixed feelings. In the distance he saw a bustling scene.

A large number of young and strong men are building a palace, and at the moment they are just laying the foundation.

Seeing this scene, Tie Wuxin understood that Wan Pingchuan had decided to make Luo'an the new capital.

"I don't know how the war in Jiangnan is going."

Although he was on the road all the time during this period, he also received news that the Miao army was invading Hongfengkou along the way.

However, he didn't know that the Prince of Chu's Palace had also sent troops to the south of the Yangtze River. Wan Pingchuan had just received the news and was in a bad mood.

Snapped--

"Wan Yangtian deserves to die, and Dong Yunchuan is just seeking fame and reputation. Even if he dies ten thousand times, it won't be enough!"

In the study, Wan Pingchuan was extremely angry. He slammed the table hard, leaving a deep palm print on the wooden table.

Wei Qingping, who was sitting at the desk, could only speak up to persuade him.

"Your Majesty, Jiangnan is out of reach for the time being, so it is a good thing that the King of Chu and the King of Yue are fighting. Let them fight each other to consume their strength.

The most urgent task is to quickly integrate the forces of the eighteen states including the Northland, East Sea, Central Prefecture, Yongyun, etc., so as to defeat the six scattered kings one by one!"

After hearing this, Wan Pingchuan's expression looked better.

There are thirteen states in Beidi, Donghai and Zhongfu. Because they are adjacent to Shuntian Prefecture, the influence of the imperial court in these three regions has spread to all aspects, making it easy to achieve absolute control.

The Five Continents of Yongyun are located in the central area of ​​the Central Plains, which is also the region with the greatest influence of Confucianism. With the support of the various schools of thought, it is also easy to control.

Then Wan Pingchuan asked again: "How did the generals at the border respond?"

Except for the six kings and those who died in Shuntian Prefecture, all the other Zhenwu masters in the court were serving in the border troops.

Not long ago, Wan Pingchuan sent a letter to summon them to Luoan for an audience.

Wei Qingping immediately replied: "Among the four generals, Liu Zhengwu of the Southern Frontier is temporarily unable to leave due to the invasion of the Miao Frontier, and Chen Wang of the Western Frontier is also unable to leave due to the continuous battle between Ye Honglei and Xue Linlang. As for the Northern Frontier, everything is peaceful, and Wu Haoping and General Bai Changjun will come to see you soon."

After hearing this, Wan Pingchuan finally showed a smile on his face. He finally heard good news after these days.

But he immediately frowned again: "Generals Bai and Wu are not here, if the Red Sun Dharma King of the Great Snow Mountain Secret Sect in the North Plain suddenly takes action."

"Your Majesty, please be at ease. With the Youzhou Chivalrous Alliance here, the Red Sun Dharma King will not dare to act rashly!"

Wan Pingchuan then relaxed his brows, and at this moment Eunuch Qi hurriedly walked into the study.

"Well, what do the scholars in the Academy say?"

After arriving in Luo'an, Wan Pingchuan visited the Academy of Scholars, wanting to meet Wu Haoran, but was told that Wu Haoran and other great scholars in the academy were in seclusion and could not be met.

After that, he asked Eunuch Qi to visit him every once in a while. Now, when he saw him coming back, he couldn't wait to ask.

Eunuch Qi replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, Wu Haoran and the others are still in seclusion and cannot see guests."

Wan Pingchuan's face darkened after hearing this. He had no idea what Wu Haoran and the others were busy with. They couldn't even allow him to meet them. His patience was almost exhausted from these repeated refusals to meet them.

Seeing his expression, Eunuch Qi quickly said, "Your Majesty, although I have not met Principal Wu, Principal Wu left a message three days ago that the Academy of Scholars will send people to help Your Majesty take over the five states of Yongyun."

Wei Qingping also said, "Your Majesty, it seems that the headmaster is really busy and can't get away."

Wan Pingchuan's expression looked a little better, and Eunuch Qi immediately said, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing. Lord Tie is back!"

"Oh, where is he?"

After hearing this, Wan Pingchuan stood up with a look of surprise.

"Take me to see him now!"

Eunuch Qi hurriedly led the way, Wan Pingchuan immediately followed, and Wei Qingping followed closely behind him, and the three of them soon saw Tie Wuxin.

"I'm glad you're safe, my dear. I've been worried about what happened to you in the West Palace these days."

Wan Pingchuan excitedly grabbed Tie Wuxin's hand and asked about his well-being.

When Tie Wuxin heard the other party call himself "I", his face was stunned for a moment, but he reacted immediately and said with a guilty look on his face.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty of failing the late emperor's expectations and causing the death of the Western Palace."

"Don't blame yourself, my dear. I have also heard about what happened in the West Palace. It is not your fault."

After Wan Pingchuan said a word of comfort, he asked again in confusion.

"Isn't Taoist Master Zhen Yangzi with Lord Tie? Why can't I see him?"

"Master Zhen Yangzi, he, he, he."

Tie Wuxin looked hesitant when he heard this, as if he found it difficult to speak. Seeing his expression, Wan Pingchuan immediately had a bad premonition and asked anxiously.

"My dear Tie, what happened to the Taoist priest?"

Tie Wuxin was urged by this and finally gritted his teeth and said, "The Taoist priest took all the disciples of Tianji Sect to Jiangnan."

Instantly, Wei Qingping and Eunuch Qi's faces changed drastically, while Wan Pingchuan struggled to maintain a smile and asked, "Master, are you going to Jiangnan for something important?"

Tie Wuxin said with a gloomy face: "After the disaster in the capital, the Taoist priest made a fortune-telling and decided to take his disciples to seek refuge with Fang Xun!"

When Wan Pingchuan heard Fang Xun's name, his face suddenly became so gloomy that water seemed to drip out of it.

"Fang Xun. It's Fang Xun again. This guy deserves to be killed. His crime is unforgivable!"
