Daozu is Cthulhu

Chapter 606 Found it

This time Lu Qi led Zheng Zetian all the way to Changsi City, the capital of Li.

Changsi City is still the same Changsi City, full of deep palaces and gloomy. Although millions of people have been relocated, the capital of a country will never lack firewood that can hope to get ahead, and they will voluntarily add it to the melting pot.As the war in the north drove more and more people out of the Central Plains, the well-dressed nobles who traveled south from the Central Plains also arrived in Liguo.

In this world, not everyone will ever be willing to embrace change and evolution.

Although there are only a few enlightened talents who were born in a wealthy family, they would be willing to go to the south to see what Lou Guancheng looks like and Moshan's way.But in most cases, when those sons of nobles and dignitaries of many generations arrived in Changsi City and saw the appearance of the old Wangji, they also mourned the appearance of Sanyuan in Changsi City, the capital city of Changsi Emperor, and mourned the appearance of their hometown It's hard to leave, and I don't want to go south.

Xuanmen only came to study a few people, but these old parts of the fairy palace moved south, but they came from one family to another.There are thousands of people on a flying island.There are also countless vehicles, boats, cattle and horses following all the way, and a lot of family assets are blocked in the northern border island and are not allowed to go.

Although the Immortal Palace is now destroyed, the system of the Immortal Palace for tens of thousands of years is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It is said that everyone is a doctor, and every family is a Suwei army. In reality, my family is still your ancestors, and they have left the country. The bureaucratic gentry were also disgraced.They also dare to bully and bully the common people, how dare they offend these Central Plains clansmen with their own armed forces?
Fortunately, Taoist Master Lou Guan also bears the title of Duke of the imperial court, former general, and Lizhou Mu, so he can barely suppress this group of foreign aristocrats.But it's just a shock.

After all, people moved here to find a way to survive, not to rebel. You leave the country to accept the common people and refugees. You can’t drive away the nobles when they come.

So Mozhushan's strategy is simple, just move here, but the official titles and edicts of the three walls of the old fairy palace are useless, and Liguo doesn't have so many lands and official positions for you, so if you come in, you won't be able to leave Liguo All official titles are counted as white bodies.

As for those from the old fairy palace, it is of course impossible for them to accept changing from an official to a white body, but they also know that they cannot easily integrate into the sect organization of Mozhushan, but this restriction is not difficult for the family.

In order to obtain some privileges to protect the family, some went to Mozhu Mountain to study, some married to the local cultivation family, and some chose to join the imperial court of Liguo.

Because Liguo's system has always existed, when Lou Guandao was short of manpower and weak, it was through cooperation with the imperial court that he was able to secure his position as the leader of Sanxian and gather the first pot of gold of the sect.Although Black Bamboo Mountain is growing now, it is still unrealistic to kick out the tens of millions of people managed by Li Guo's imperial court.Therefore, the temple master also acquiesced in the acquiescence of the powerful family, and also chose some big families to cooperate, and was appointed as the subordinate of the former general, also in order to win over the population and resources in the north.

Therefore, in recent years, a large number of people from the north have come to take the imperial examinations in Liguo, or rely on their connections to recommend them into the world. The bumpkin is so strong that he doesn’t know where he is. It’s easy to pass the imperial examination. It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t pass the exam. Just send a servant to watch at the bottom of the list.

In this way, as the northern aristocrats moved south and settled down one after another, the most miserable ones were those noble landlords in Liguo. Most of these people themselves were bumpkins who started their careers by suppressing the Black Lotus Sect. It’s useless anymore, and I was bankrupted by the eunuchs a few years ago, and now I’m being competed by the northerners, so the pressure in the workplace can be described as cruel.

So the forbidden army rebelled a few days ago.

"During the court meeting in the Zichen Palace, General Jinwu reported that manna fell from the pomegranate tree at night in the Jinwuzhan courtyard of the Imperial Guard Zuojun Camp. In Hanyuan Hall, Qiu Liang, the commander of the left and right guards, and other eunuchs were ordered to lead all the eunuchs to take a step to see the auspiciousness.

When Qiu Liang and others arrived at Jinwuzhanyuan, the ambush soldiers rushed out. Dozens of Jinwu guards, officials from Jingzhao Mansion, and about 500 people from Yushitai climbed to the hall and fought hard.However, Qiu Liang had many masters under him, and with the lord Ruanyu as a barrier, he finally retreated into the Xuanzheng Gate and closed the palace gate. Lock the gate of the palace and search and kill thousands of people. "

Lu Qi brought Zheng Zetian to a yard planted with pomegranate trees. The nearby garrison had been cleared out, and there were soldiers with armor and bows guarding them far away.However, Lu Qi's status was very high, and no one dared to come out to stop him when he entered the palace with his jade octopus fish costume on.

"Qian Jiaoxi died here at the time. I recognized him. I didn't want his body to be used by someone who wanted to spread rumors about the internal turmoil in Mozhu Mountain. I hid it, but now I can't tell."

Zheng Zetian looked at the pomegranate tree, "Where is the nectar?"

Lu Qi smiled and said, "Where is the nectar coming from, just find a reason to do it. Hehe, it was quite dangerous at that time. If I came one step later, all those eunuchs would be dead."

Zheng Zetian looked at the bloodstains nearby. The yard was leveled, the walls were cut with scars, and there were pieces of meat that couldn't be removed. The north and south of Mozhushan were fighting each other. They said they didn't like each other. The brothers fought in the palace, it seems that the fight was a bit fierce.

"Why did Qian Jiaoxi assassinate the eunuch?"

"What reason do you need to kill eunuchs? Don't eunuchs deserve to die."

Lu Qi chuckled, pacing around the ruins of the palace that hadn't been cleaned up,
"However, I don't think Qian's surname is so hot-headed that he came to assassinate the chief eunuch in the palace. This is probably an action planned by their Southern faction. After all, the imperial court is struggling to make ends meet, and they really want to reform taxation. The eunuchs also want to follow suit. Like Mozhushan, the financial groups in the south are probably not very willing to give up the distribution of financial rights if they engage in banks to issue treasure notes, or at least buy more bonds from Mozhushan in the name of the imperial court."

Is it the court...

Zheng Zetian took out the company's jade pendant, and first checked the situation of the local imperial court and clan.I found out that the giant is really amazing. He could directly appoint three nephews to run the country on his behalf. Why is this the owner of your family?

As for the leader of the Li Kingdom whom Ju Zi kissed, he had already changed his term.

King Jing, who succeeded to the throne according to his age at the beginning, was a fool who was 'not a king'. In fact, this guy didn't engage in any tyranny, or he didn't even bother to go to court, let alone seize power with Mo Zhushan, so he honestly had to play a role. Puppet, play your own game.

But the problem with this guy is that he likes to play too much. Every day during the day, he holds a grand sports event in the palace, including polo, wrestling, sanda, fighting and acrobatics. They stripped naked, put on fur wigs, and pretended to be prey. He took a paper arrow wrapped in musk to hunt, and shot the concubine's prey with this "Merry Fragrant Arrow". hunting prey.

Such a carnival and enjoyment every day, can toss until midnight before giving up.This kind of unscrupulous entertainment and drinking, without restraint, even with the elixir, he couldn't hold it, and he played himself to death abruptly, and within a few years, he fell ill and died suddenly.

Since King Jing died too early and left no adult heirs, the second King Jiang was chosen as his successor, who is now the Lord Li.

This king is much better. He is frugal and elegant, and he is well-versed in books. After succeeding to the throne, he made great efforts to govern, abolished the maids, released Wufang eagle dogs, and saved redundant staff. Over the years, he has also cooperated with Mo Zhushan to stabilize the stability of the country. .This may be because after he succeeded to the throne, he saw that Sanyuan was destroyed by the divine religion, the world was in chaos, and Liguo's scenery was unique, so he gradually developed some thoughts about going further and restoring the fairy palace.

In short, when the country leader was in office, Liguo generally cooperated with Mozhushan's actions. In recent years, there has been a mess outside the country, and Liguo can maintain a general stability. Politics also deserves some credit.

Of course, no one in the world is willing to be a puppet forever.

The company's intelligence network has also gathered that the ruler is trying to use the current chaotic situation to gather his own power on the side of diligence.For example, he actively wooed the clans who moved from the north to the south, appointed and dismissed the northerners as officials, and cultivated his own cronies. This squeezed the space of the old local noble group, which was to some extent the direct cause of the mutiny.

But the eunuchs can't let it go, since the mutiny a few days ago, the eunuch Qiu and his party were almost killed, so they suspected that the lord asked them eunuchs to check Xiangrui's intentions first, and even suspected that those rebellious soldiers dared not hurt the lord Chengyu reason.Has lost trust in the king.

Although it is impossible to say that he killed the king, but the king has been in the position for a long time and has broken the rules, so it is not a bad idea to change it. After all, Ju Zi kissed three nephews.

Soon thereafter, there was news that the king was frightened by the swordsmen, became depressed and ill, and couldn't get out of bed.

Now the lord of the country lives deeply in the Liqiu Palace, and all internal and external affairs are handled by the eunuch Qiu.Moreover, the latter has also abolished the eldest son of the East Palace, and recruited Ying Wang Li Yu, who was kissed by the giant, as the younger brother of the king, and accompanied him to meet with all the officials and deal with military and state affairs. The king had nothing to do with it, and none of the ministers dared to object.

"Senior brother Lu thinks that the assassination of Qiu Liang was planned by the Southern faction?"

Zheng Zetian shook his head,
"I don't think so. Under the guise of auspiciousness, the assassination was launched hastily. Dozens of eunuchs couldn't be killed. Afterwards, hundreds of imperial troops arrived and were put down. Such an inexplicable attack was to assassinate the chief eunuch who was in charge of the inner palace imperial army. , would be too childish.

If it must be said that someone planned it, now the ruler of the country has been in power for ten years, he has been diligent in governing, he has not made any major mistakes, and his prestige is growing day by day, he is quite popular among the people, and he already has the son of the Eastern Palace, so it is his line to leave the country like this Inheritance, Mo Zhushan can't make more troubles.

But now that there is such a commotion, the one who has benefited the most from the whole incident is the King Ying. "

"Ying Wang." Lu Qi nodded, noncommittal, "He has lent me a lot of money recently."

"So senior brother doesn't object to his succession, right?"

Zheng Zetian looked at the information collected by the company, and he actually said that with the answer.

This king Ying is not simple, his intelligence company has collected the most of the three nephews whom Juzi kissed.

First of all, this person has the highest cultivation level among the kings of the Li Kingdom. He already has the Nascent Soul Realm, and he is diligent in Taoist cultivation. There are 81 people including Taoist Zhao Guizhen who have entered the ban, and built the Jinlu Taoist Temple in the third hall. It can't be considered as an ordinary king.

At the same time, this person liked hunting and safaris since he was a child, but instead of "hunting wild foxes" like his brother, he went to the frontier islands and went hunting with the frontier soldiers.In addition, this person's grandmother is from the Guo family, and his mother is from the Webster family. They are both from the local powerful families in Liguo, and they are assisted by nephews and nephews who are quite acquainted in the army. In other words, this kid has a very complicated background, a bit of power and ambition. vassal.

But all these years the king has been watched from front to back, but this vassal king can freely enter and leave the capital, using the pretext of assisting Mo Zhushan to resist the gods and Taoism, and secretly wooing and deploying his own forces in Bianzhou. It can be seen that, Not only those nobles who miss Li Guo's clan, even the company is secretly betting around this person, probably planning to use him to stir up Li Guo's political situation.

"Hey, I asked you to find Daoyi. What the hell are you talking about about these princes and grandchildren?"

Lu Qi made a deliberate circle, but got nothing, and was a little frustrated.

Zheng Zetian shook his head and said,

"It's been so many days, there is no trace of the cause and effect of Daoyi, but since this matter is planned by King Ying secretly, and he owes you money, why don't we ask him, maybe There will be delivery."

"It's also reasonable, but it's not wrong for me to go to see him, just let him come to see me, let's go, senior brother will take you to drink."

Lu Qi couldn't find any other clues, so he simply took Zheng Zetian and swaggered out of the Forbidden Palace to a luxurious mansion in the west of the city.

This is probably the residence of a certain eunuch, the master greeted him directly, kowtowed to Lu Qi bang bang bang like a grandson worshiping his grandfather, and then called hundreds of servants out of the family to have a banquet.

Lu Qi wasn't too polite, so he took a seat at the master's seat and gave a few casual instructions. The master immediately sent out servants to invite someone to hold a banquet in the name of marrying eighty concubines.

Zheng Zetian couldn't help being curious, "Why do these powerful officials respect senior brother so much? They treat them like close relatives..."

Lu Qi laughed and said, "Close relatives are nothing. Their close relatives sold them into the palace as eunuchs. I saved their lives more than once, and even made them rich together. Tell me which one is closer."

The old eunuch also licked his face and said with a smile, "Master Lu, why is he free today, so he summoned the old guys to have a drink?"

Lu Qi laughed and said, "The Railway Academy has fallen into my hands, so I'll give you a bite of it, otherwise I don't know how you can blame me behind my back."

"Hahaha, how dare you, money is a trivial matter, as long as Mr. Lu remembers us old slaves."

Sure enough, Lu Qi had face, and soon the eunuchs of the inner palace came to the party one after another, and some dignitaries and godsons who were attached to eunuchs, the so-called heads of the eunuch party, also came to the banquet on hearing the wind, Naturally, King Ying, who needed support most at this time, also came.

But just like what Lu Qi said, he, a feudal lord, a mere puppet, wants to meet the head of the railway, the benefactor of the great eunuch, but he is not qualified enough, so he can only follow the rules and have a feast in the outer courtyard .

Lu Qi gave him a wink, Zheng Zetian stared at the fruit plate and ate it, wiped his mouth to urinate, slipped out, went to the outer courtyard, and half of the imperial court's ministers came to the banquet with their faces licked.

Zheng Zetian hid in the garden and looked at this and that, then waved and called a little eunuch who had arranged to serve him wine to him and asked,

"Who?"

"Oh, King Ying?"

"No, the white paper fan he was talking to."

"White paper fan, oh, it's Li Wenrao, a scholar of Jixian Palace."

"Bachelor? What's the origin of this?"

"Him? He has a big background. He is the second son of Li Hongxian, the former censor. Because his father and son offended too many political enemies, he is also stubborn. He doesn't know how to adapt. He has been released as an official many times. He was promoted to Yushitai after recording his merits first, and then he offended someone and was released, so he has done everything as a minister, minister, Jiedushi, and inspector, and no one can use him. Now he is left with the title of a university scholar Yes, the one who drafted the imperial edict."

Zheng Zetian nodded,

Alright, found you, 'company employee'.

Suddenly a hand stretched out, pulled Zheng Zetian's wrist, and broke his left arm on the spot.

The little eunuch at the side didn't have time to scream, he was hit by a fist shadow in the chest, he was like a cloth bag on the spot, whirled and flew into the grass in the courtyard, and disappeared.

Zheng Zetian narrowed his eyes, dressed 'Zheng Yu' as a maid, and approached him with a sneer.

"I found you, brother."
