Taiping Inn

This decree made many people in the imperial party confused. It was the people of the harem party who had seized the military power, and now another person of the harem party was asked to take it back? How could this be possible?

But Zhao Lianggeng had already understood something.

If this decree came from the Confucian school, then the attitude of the Confucian school was interesting. They didn't seem to want to escalate the situation, let alone let the two parties go to war.

If this guess is true, does it mean that the Tang King's seizure of military power also has a hidden secret?

But then again, even if there was something fishy behind the Tang King's seizure of military power, what basis did he have to take it back from the Tang King? Was it just based on this imperial decree? Could it be that the Confucian school wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight?

Just when Zhao Lianggeng was thinking about it, Mei Shenglin had already closed the imperial edict in his hand, still holding it with both hands, and said: "Lord Zhao, accept the edict."

Zhao Lianggeng came back to his senses, took the imperial edict with both hands, and said: "Your Majesty, accept the edict."

After accepting the edict, all the officials stood up. Mei Shenglin said, "I'll have to trouble you to quell the rebellion."

Zhao Lianggeng said in a deep voice, "If it's true as you said just now, the King of Tang has seized the military power of the Wucheng Bingmasi, I'm afraid I won't be able to return this time."

The Minister of Revenue said in a gloomy tone, "Isn't there still the Qingluan Guard Governor's Office?"

Zhao Lianggeng said coldly, "Since the other party is targeting the Wucheng Bingmasi, will they let go of the Qingluan Guard Governor's Office?"

The Minister of Revenue pretended to be enlightened and said, "Yes, the Qingluan Guard Governor's Office originally obeys the orders of the King of Tang, why bother to seize it!"

Zhao Lianggeng didn't want to continue the verbal dispute with him, so he waved his sleeves and walked out of the hall.

The previous dynasty had a rest system, and an official had a holiday of up to 120 days a year. In this dynasty, although such a long holiday was abolished, he could still rest every five days. Today happened to be the day when the Minister of Revenue and the Left Censor-in-Chief had a rest, so they were seized by someone to attack the mansion and had to hide in the government office.

In fact, half of the officials were on leave that day, which made the entire court react very slowly.

…

Xie Zhi had never been as embarrassed as she was today. Even during the Imperial Capital Incident, she remained calm and did not move. Xu Wugui, the geomancer, was by her side, waiting for Li Daoxu and Zhang Jingxiu, two immortals, to enter the palace.

But today, she was forced to flee again and again by Li Xuandu.

Li Xuandu was like a cat playing with a mouse, following behind slowly, not in a hurry to take Xie Zhi's life. As Li Xuandu himself said, he did not intend to kill Xie Zhi himself, but to punish her in public and show it to the world.

How could Xie Zhi not be angry? But what was the use of being angry? After being angry, despair gradually surged into her heart.

Xie Zhi left the Silijian under the escort of Yang Lu and fled outside the palace.

After exiting the Meridian Gate, continue walking southwards, and you will reach the Chengtian Gate. To the east is the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and to the west is the Altar of Land and Grain.

Xie Zhi did not exit the Chengtian Gate, but went to the Altar of Land and Grain.

Soon, Li Xuandu, who was no longer bound by any restrictions, appeared out of thin air in the huge square outside the Meridian Gate and inside the Chengtian Gate. Looking around, he clearly "saw" Xie Zhi's footprints, all the way to the Altar of Land and Grain.

The Altar of Land and Grain was first built during the reign of Emperor Taizong. It is located on the left and right of the Chengtian Gate, opposite the Imperial Ancestral Temple, corresponding to the saying "left ancestor and right community". In addition to the Altar of Land and Grain, there are also worship halls, halberd gates, god storehouses, god kitchens, and animal slaughter pavilions. The Altar of Land and Grain is divided into the Taishe Altar and the Taiji Altar, which enshrine the community god and the millet god. The community god is the god of land, and the millet god is the god of grain.

Li Xuandu walked into the Altar of Land and Grain.

The sky is yang and faces south, the earth is yin and faces north, and the community is the land, which belongs to yin, so the buildings in the altar are all facing south. The northernmost is the Jimen, which is also the main gate. There was no guard in front of the gate at this time. Li Xuandu passed the Jimen and the worship hall. To the south of the worship hall was the Taishe Altar.

The Taishe Altar is a square three-story platform made of white jade, with four steps, each with three levels. The top of the altar is paved with five-color soil: middle yellow, east green, south red, west white, and north black, symbolizing the five elements and five directions. The five-color soil is tribute from all over the country, indicating that the whole world belongs to the king. There is a square stone pillar in the center of the altar, named "Jiangshan Stone", which symbolizes the eternal stability of the country.

Li Xuandu came to the front of the Taishe Altar, but did not climb the altar. Instead, he looked up at the Jiangshan Stone. After a moment of silence, he slowly said: "The country will be forever secure, can it really be forever secure?"

After that, Li Xuandu raised his hand and pressed it in vain.

The Jiangshan Stone, which was originally only half buried in the soil, was under great pressure and sank suddenly, becoming completely buried in the soil.

At the same time, the figure standing behind the Jiangshan Stone was revealed.

White hair, white beard and white robe formed a sharp contrast with the black hair and black robe of Li Xuandu.

It was not Xie Zhi, but Li Daoxu.

Li Daoxu stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at Li Xuandu.

Li Xuandu was not surprised that his master appeared here, and looked up.

The master and the apprentice, one on the altar and the other under the altar, looked at each other.

After a moment, Li Xuandu retracted his gaze and took the initiative to salute and said, "Hello, Master."

"Zifu." Li Daoxu said, "I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Li Xuandu said, "Master stood behind the Jiangshan Stone waiting for me just now. It means that Master has been hiding behind the court and secretly manipulating the situation all these years. Is he such a Jiangshan?"

Li Daoxu was calm and asked, "So what if it is? So what if it is not?"

Li Xuandu stood up and said, "It really doesn't make any sense. Whether it is or not, I will rectify the chaos and change the world today."

Perhaps it has been too long since he heard someone speak so boldly, Li Daoxu was absent-minded for a moment.

Zhang Jingxiu, Xu Wugui, and an old man named Long are all old guys, and their spirits have been worn away by the years. No matter what they think or do, they will not say it.

Song Zheng and Tan Taiyun would never have such an idea, and Qin Qing is an introverted person.

Only his disciple would think, do, and say so.

I thought he had changed a lot over the years, but in the end, he was still a young man, still hiding some ambitions and ambitions, and had such bold words.

This is of course a bold word. It doesn't matter what Li Daoxu's attitude is, he has to get things done. Isn't this a bold word?

However, Li Daoxu did not get angry, one because of years of self-cultivation, the second because it was expected, and the third because of the relationship between the two.

Master and apprentice, father and son, incense inheritance.

At this moment, Li Daoxu was still a little relieved.

In fact, both the master and the disciple knew that Li Xuan had not yet entered the Yuanying Wonderful Realm, so he was no match for Li Daoxu. Li Daoxu was not someone like Tan Taiyun who had just entered the Yuanying Wonderful Realm. He had already been in this realm many years ago, and had been practicing in seclusion for many years. He was only one step away from becoming a first-tribulation earthly immortal. Especially after the death of Xu Wugui and the Golden Tent National Master, two first-tribulation earthly immortals who had only existed for a very short time, Li Daoxu was the undisputed number one in the world.

A young man is better than a young man, but the realm cultivation must be accumulated slowly over the years.

Li Xuandu was still too young after all.

Li Xuandu asked, "Master, do you insist on protecting Xie Zhi?"

Li Daoxu did not answer directly, but said, "Can you wait another ten years? When the master ascends to heaven and passes away, you can do whatever you want in the world."

Li Xuandu said firmly, "I can't wait."

"I can't wait even ten years?" Li Daoxu asked again.

Li Xuandu remained unshakable: "Let alone ten years, even one year, I can't wait."

Li Daoxu laughed instead of getting angry: "Where will you put me, my master?"

Li Xuandu replied: "No one can put me, my master, only I can decide where I am. Did someone tie me here today?"

Li Daoxu sighed: "You have made up your mind."

Li Xuandu bowed again and said: "Master, please give way, and the world will be wider."

Li Daoxu gradually restrained the smile on his face and said: "Father and son meet on a narrow road, but the father is asked to give way to the son. What's the reason?"

Li Xuandu said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Father has done something unjust, and the son sincerely advises him. If the advice doesn't work, then speak out to fight. Although it is not smooth, it prevents the father from falling into injustice, which is filial piety."

Li Daoxu's response was only one word "good".

Li Xuandu said no more.

In the martial arts world, no matter how many truths you say, they cannot defeat the truth of swords. Today, neither the master nor the disciple is willing to give in, so they can only use the most ancient way to decide the winner.

At this moment, a strange phenomenon appeared.

Countless dazzling white lights bloomed in the sky, instantly illuminating the dark sky.

Xie Zhi, who was at the Taiji Altar, had to squint his eyes.

Li Daoxu looked up at the sky, and there were several more figures in his vision.

These figures formed a circle around the Sheji Altar.

After a while, the dazzling white light in the sky receded like a tide, and these figures revealed their true appearance.

Nine great masters of the heavenly realm appeared together.

Bai Xiushang of Cihang Sect, Zhang Luanshan of Zhengyi Sect, Lan Xuanshuang of Zaoge Sect, Xiao Shiyu of Xuannv Sect, Wuzhen of Vajra Sect, Shen Yuanzhou of Taiping Sect, Zuo Yuhan of Faxiang Sect, Shi Wuyue of Xuannv Sect, and Murong Hua of Cihang Sect.

Among these nine people, the lowest realm is the Immortal Realm, while Bai Xiushang, Zhang Luanshan, Lan Xuanshuang and others are all in the Heavenly Man-made Realm, and have immortal objects in their hands. In addition, Li Xuandu, who is in the Immortal Realm, is in charge personally, so the standard is twice as high as that of Tan Taiyun.

The reason why Li Xuandu sent Qin Su, Zhang Haishi, Li Feiyan, Li Shixing, Taiwei Zhenren, Wanshou Zhenren, and Sanxuan Zhenren to deal with Tan Taiyun is to avoid them being caught in a dilemma. Most of the people present are Zhang Jingxiu and Li Xuandu's people, and they will not have any psychological burden when facing Li Daoxu.

However, at the same time, several people also appeared on the other side, namely Yang Lu, the seal holder of the Silijian, Liu Yi, the chief pen holder of the Silijian, Chen Mian, the pseudo-immortal, Na Lanxu, Gu Yusheng, and Lou Xinqing. Although they are at a disadvantage in terms of number, they are all great masters of the Heavenly Realm, which is enough to strengthen their momentum.

Li Daoxu retracted his gaze and smiled faintly: "Zifu, do you want to win by numbers?"

Li Xuandu said: "Today, Xuandu is not competing for the level of cultivation, not seeking victory or defeat, but only seeking peace in the world."

Li Daoxu asked: "Did you win?"

Li Xuandu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I can only try my best."

Li Daoxu said: "You have used up your four "Taiyi Fa Jue". You are a junior, and your master will give you a chance to fight fairly."

After the voice fell, Li Daoxu waved his sleeves four times in a row.

Four sword qi fell from the sky and fell in all directions. The world was shaken. The sword qi seemed real and virtual, splitting the space.

The four sword qi were higher than the sky and as wide as a city wall, forming a square, cutting the Sheji Altar into an isolated island. Before the sword qi dissipated, people inside could not go out and people outside could not come in.

This is the "Taishi Sword Qi".

Li Daoxu used up his four "Taishi Sword Qi" in one breath, and this was a fair fight.

Li Xuandu bowed his head slightly and said softly, "Thank you, Master, for your help."
