After the immortal disappeared

Chapter 1433 The focus of the fight: Isn’t King Jiao afraid of the Tong family’s protest? He Lingchuan smelled something unusual.

For the next two days, everything was calm in the royal court and Tianshui City was filled with joy.

The dark clouds triggered by the death of Xue Zongwu and the continuous prosecution of officials seemed to have faded from the sky above Tianshui City.

Everything seems to be returning to its original rhythm.

In the past two days, even Qingyang has not made any new moves, which probably made many people breathe a long sigh of relief.

Can I stop for a few days? At least until after Wang Shoudian ends.

In the evening, Fan Shuang came again, this time with a happy face: "Brother He, the king is finally going to receive you."

He Lingchuan was overjoyed: "The wait these days has really not been in vain!"

"What am I talking about? You will definitely see my king!" Fan Shuang also felt relaxed, feeling that he had finally successfully completed the task sent by the king.

"When can I meet you?"

"Now.

Fan Shuang laughed, he was here to take He Lingchuan into the palace, "Now!" "

He Lingchuan went back to the house to change his clothes, and the soul-capturing mirror made a sound: "I am stubborn and respectful, it seems that I want to ask for your help! In the past few days, the king could not remember you as a person, and forgot that he specially invited you here. , just like amnesia; why do I suddenly want to see you again? "

"Chongwu's new appointment means that King Jiao and Qingyang may be at odds with each other, and the King will make certain compromises.

"He Lingchuan chose a brocade suit and quickly put it on, "Next, just pay attention to Qingyang. If she doesn't do anything shocking, it's because the two parties have negotiated something secretly.

Wang's concession this time was truly remarkable. "

Jing Jing was disdainful: "Isn't it just to appoint Chongwu as the guard general of Zhenbei? What kind of extraordinary concessions and sacrifices are you talking about?"

“This is a landmark change for China.

He Lingchuan said seriously, "Father, the royal court has lasted for nearly two hundred years and still retains many traditions. It is not as open as Bejia.

Judging from the intelligence we have collected in the past, 80% of the high-ranking officials in the imperial court are from the Jiaoguo people, and the remaining 20% ​​are in insignificant positions.

The proportion of generals is smaller, half of them are natives.

Therefore, foreigners like Chongwu served for the diplomatic country and followed the route of military generals. "

"I heard that the old dignitaries in Tianshui City intermarry with each other, not to mention that they will not marry foreigners, and they do not even consider families outside Tianshui City. What I am talking about includes the suburbs and counties of Tianshui City. A gate, these are low-class homes.

"He gave an example, "Many nobles are proud of their lineage.

Xue Zongwu was not born and raised in Tianshui City. Back then, Qi Yun Sheng fought against everyone's objections to marry his daughter to him, and suffered from the disease for a long time. It was not until Xue Zongwu became more powerful that the trend changed. "

Jing Jing smiled and said: "Guo Zuo is only two hundred years old, and he still talks about blood? A bunch of frogs in a well."

“You have to see where this is.

"In the Golden Plains, it is not easy for the national game to be maintained for more than two hundred years.

“Precisely because the people of the country are still xenophobic at heart, allowing foreign military generals to guard the country challenges their bottom line.

It is not that there are no generals available for the country to be transferred to, so the king chose Chongwu.

You must know that Chongwu made a mistake and was punished some time ago, and now he is suddenly promoted to a side general. The process is too sudden.

The king had to bear a lot of pressure to issue such an order, so I tend to think that Qingyang contributed to it. "

"What's the benefit to Qingyang?" Jing Jing's curiosity also aroused, "She is really good to Chongwu."

"For the deeper reasons, I don't know enough about Qingyang and my father's country to deduce it, but there is one reason that should be almost exactly the same -" He Lingchuan put on a white jade crown. He was used to having a home all over the world and leading troops to fight. , I change my clothes myself and don’t like to bring an entourage, "Military power."

"ah?"

"You see, Qingyang brought hundreds of people to surrender to the country and serve as supervisors. It seems that they are surrounded by people when they come and go, but I guess it will be difficult for her to reach out to the army.

Today, King Jiao is almost sixty. He has been in politics for decades and his rule is relatively stable.

Generals such as Xue Zongwu and border officials were staunch royalists.

King Jiao firmly held military power in his hands through direct descendants like Xue Zongwu. "

He paused for a moment: "Have you noticed? So far, Qingyang has to go through the royal court to perform his duties as supervising the country, that is, borrowing the administrative power of the king."

The mirror understood: "Relying on the strength of others will not last long and is not reliable."

"To put it bluntly, what Qingyang currently relies on is still Bejia's brand, the country's respect for Bejia, and may even have the support of the gods - I guess there are many officials in the court who also listen to Bejia - but these are not It's not her own influence.

If she fights too hard with her father and the latter is ruthless and ignores her, she will have no fulcrum to exert her strength.

"He Lingchuan said slowly, "But it would be very different if she could intervene in military affairs.

"If you have soldiers in your hands, you can speak toughly and straighten your back.

He himself is a general who leads troops, and this is most clear.

"She also wants military power?"

The mirror groaned, "According to you, isn't that just digging into the king's walls? Can he allow it?"

"Of course he refuses. Which superior person is willing to give up even a little bit of his power? But isn't this the goal of their current fight?" He Lingchuan smiled, "It seems that Qingyang has a very good card. With Chongwu taking the throne, it is likely that the king gave in.

" "What will happen if my father is determined not to give in? "Mirror doesn't understand, "Isn't military power the most important thing? How could he be willing to give it up? "

"Power suddenly becomes easier to talk to. It's not a matter of nature, it must be because of necessity.

"He Lingchuan explained, "If Jiao Wang refuses to give in, Qingyang will play out the cards in his hand one by one.

I guess—well, Wang probably thinks the same way—that the card she has left as a backup is a big one, and playing it out will definitely cause shock to both the government and the public.

There are high-ranking officials and generals there. Once they find out that the king cannot protect himself, what do you think they will do? "

Jing Jing thought for a while: "Kill Qingyang to prevent her from continuing to expose?"

This protective mirror was quite tough, and He Lingchuan couldn't help but laugh: "I'm afraid it's not that easy."

Qingyang has been a great national master in Bejia for more than a hundred years. He has amazing strength and has an elite guard group of several hundred people. How can he easily defeat him? Besides, the supervisor sent to the country by Lingxu City died for no reason. How should the supervisor explain to Bejia? “Easy, just ask her for mercy.

"He Lingchuan shook his head, "Qingyang is so resolute in the country, most of the officials know that she is actually fighting with King Jiao.

This little crime of mine was just a bargaining chip for being involved.

Therefore, the more ferocious Qingyang's attack is, the more officials are likely to surrender to her, and among them there may be big bosses who lead the army.

" "At that time, Qingyang can still get the military power and influence he wants, and also turn the king's court upside down, and the king's prestige will also be greatly reduced.

"He said slowly, "Faced with such an ending, what do you think Wang will choose now? "

"..Then it's better to simply make limited concessions."

Just one step, saving you a lot of trouble and damage.

At the end of the day, it's all a settlement, and if you don't want to be upset with the king, this is the most cost-effective way to do it.

Unexpectedly, it was just a military commander's transfer order, but there were so many involvements and entanglements behind it.

"As expected of Qingyang, she used the post of supervising the country without much real power to play so many tricks.

He Lingchuan adjusted his belt and said, "Father, if you announce that I have entered the palace now, I will enter the next round." "

"What's the point?"

“Be careful when entering the palace today.

He Lingchuan said with a smile, "It was Wang who invited me to Tianshui City, but when I arrived, he ignored me."

This is probably because he has been asking Qingyang for the past few days and does not want to irritate him.

""Then he summons you to the palace now because he has an idea? "

"Father just made a big step towards Qingyang, maybe there is another change in his mentality.

He Lingchuan turned around and walked out, "For us, this is an opportunity." "

The area of ​​Jiaowang Palace is similar to that of Yuanwang Palace.

The buildings usually have red roofs, which turn from ocher to crimson in the sunlight, layer upon layer, like a maple forest in late autumn.

He Lingchuan rarely saw so many kinds of red at once in other places.

The architecture of Jiaowang Palace is very unique. There are many round buildings. He Lingchuan also saw the colorful stained glass windows.

Except for Bega, he rarely saw this kind of color used elsewhere.

The Kite Palace he had visited before was in ruins, and the weeds in the garden were unkempt, making it large and empty. However, this palace was full of exquisite flowers and plants, and there was a vibrant garden just over a hundred steps away.

Turning around the porch door, a sudden chill hit my face, as if I had jumped directly from early summer to late autumn, which made my hair stand on end.

He Lingchuan wondered: "It's so cold here."

Fan Shuang introduced him: "This is Yuquan Palace, and there is a cold spring in front of it that remains unchanged all year round.

It feels cold now, and midsummer is a good place to escape the heat. "

There are fewer plants in Yuquan Palace, but the ginkgo and hibiscus are still beautiful.

Turning around a set of strange-shaped rocks, He Lingchuan's eyes lit up and he held his breath subconsciously: In front of him, an old tree occupied half of the area, crowned with youthful beauty.

The cold spring reflects the shadow of the trees, and the big trees seem to grow underwater at the same time.

Of course, it is not as huge as the Baoshu King, but in terms of exquisiteness and beauty, it is the only one He Lingchuan has ever seen in his life.

This pear blossom is so white that it seems to be shining brightly every minute.

He Lingchuan couldn't help but admire: "What a big pear tree, has it become a spirit?" How can ordinary pear trees withstand the cold weather all year round? The palace man who led the way smiled and said, "I don't know.

But this pear tree has the same life span as my king. It can bloom all year round, and the king also likes it very much.

"Although pear flowers are beautiful, they usually bloom only in spring, and the flowering period is only one month. I have never heard of them blooming all year round.

He Lingchuan wondered: "This pear tree is less than sixty years old? Why does it look like it is two hundred years old?"

Pear blossoms planted on cold springs should grow very slowly.
