high official

Chapter 404
"Who cares about being a saint..." Gu Xiaolian shook her head vigorously and said, "I don't want to be carried around like a puppet all day long for people to see!"

"What about the believers?" Wang Xian said softly, "Don't you care?"

"..." Gu Xiaolian fell silent. She could not care about the identity of the saint, general Song, or Liu Zijin, but she couldn't help caring about those simple believers.Those are poor people. They believe in her so devoutly, hoping that she can bless them, and regard herself as their life-saving straw.Although she knew that if someone else was a saint, they would be equally devout, but the problem is, this saint of Laoshi is herself now, not someone else!
"Does the official want me to stay in Guangling County?" Gu Xiaolian looked at him pitifully and asked.

"Are you kidding me, how could I let you stay in the pit of fire?" Wang Xian said softly, "I mean, you still can't let go of your status as a saint. For the sake of those believers, you have to take up this responsibility."

"The official...what do you want me to do..." Gu Xiaolian asked tremblingly, her mood obviously changed.

"Don't be afraid, I'm in charge of everything, you just need to be obedient and obedient," Wang Xian said softly, "Before you leave Guangling, you should give a sutra lecture again, right?"

"En." Gu Xiaolian nodded, and responded softly. She was really afraid of being used by others, and Wang Xian was afraid that she was also being used.

"Trust me," Wang Xian was keenly aware of her emotional fluctuations, and said in a deep voice, "I am someone worthy of your trust..."

"En." Gu Xiaolian replied again, but this time the voice was much louder, with a bright smile on his face and said: "What orders do you have from the officials, I will listen to you." She said in her heart that it doesn't matter if she was deceived by him. ?It's just that in this world, there is really nothing to miss...

"Nothing else, you can just add three sentences when the time comes." Wang Xian obviously had a plan long ago, and said slowly: "One is that I have difficulties and I have to travel far, so you can take care of yourself. Second, General Tongtian is a Buddha. No one can replace the one who ordered you to lead you. The third sentence is, when I return, it will be the day when you will escape from the sea of ​​suffering."

Gu Xiaolian nodded, indicating that she had written it down, but she couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Wang Xian's gourd.But she didn't want to ask the truth, she just wanted to give her whole body to this person, even if she was bruised all over because of it, she was willing to make a foolish sacrifice...

As soon as the two of them finished talking about their business, Gu Xiaolian frowned slightly, and said in a low voice, "Someone is coming." Wang Xian listened with his ears closed, and after a while, he heard footsteps, followed by the maid's low voice. He whispered: "Saint, saint..."

"What's the matter?" Gu Xiaolian touched Wang Xian's lips, then quickly flashed behind the bead curtain, and resumed her noble and indifferent tone.

"The servant has been out for more than half an hour, and I haven't heard any movement inside, so I don't feel relieved to come and ask." The maid hurriedly explained.

"I've finished asking." Gu Xiaolian said slowly: "He is very cooperative, take him down, so that you can serve him well, don't make things difficult."

"Yes." The maids responded, untied Wang Xian from the pillar, and secretly looked at this guy, seeing that he had a full beard and a ruddy complexion, and he seemed to be looking better than when he came in.

"My seat has blessed him with the holy law, and I have made him fatter. This seat has its own uses..." The saint behind the curtain quickly explained.

The maids didn't dare to talk nonsense, so they took Wang Xian down and locked him in a room alone, gave him wine and rice, and brought him a charcoal basin to keep warm. Wang Xian was really hungry, so he ate a big bowl of noodles After a while, he lay on the kang with his eyes wide open and meditated... The conversation with Gu Xiaolian seemed to clear away the fog, allowing him to see the clues of the situation in Shanxi and even the situation in Chaotang for the first time!
Based on what we have learned before, it is obviously not accidental that Liu Zijin in Shanxi rebelled here and now, but a conspiracy against the prince.The reason why Liu Zijin's rebellion was so powerful is that Emperor Yongle exploited the people very much, but it is absolutely inseparable from the connivance and even financial and material support from Shanxi.Before, Wang Xian felt that Shanxi Wenwu's actions were purely due to the old birthday stars eating arsenic - impatient to live, even if they want to make up for the deficit in their respective official treasuries, do they need to go to war like this?
It would make sense to say that local civil and military forces were coerced, or at least half-pushed.And the ones who threatened them should be the newly-elected Prince Jin and his brothers.First of all, Prince Jin's Mansion is deeply rooted in Shanxi. A few years ago, it controlled Shanxi's military affairs in one hand. Although there is a ban now, but the power still exists, it is still possible to threaten Shanxi's civil and military affairs.Those who dare not cooperate will probably die like Zhao Zhixian.

And the reason why Zhu Jixuan would do this is also very clear, it is to kill the former King of Jin Zhu Jixuan and become the King of Jin himself.The difficulty of disposing of the elders and establishing the younger is second only to the replacement of the crown prince, no matter how hard Zhu Jiying tried, he couldn't do it.So he asked for help from the imperial court-the king of Zhao.And the condition that King Zhao offered was to let King Jin support a rebellion, block the grain road to Xuanfu, and cause the army to run out of food, so as to anger the emperor and come back to clean up the prince.

Obviously, King Zhao and King Han wore a pair of trousers, otherwise he would have no reason to plan such a thing...

In the end, with the joint efforts of all parties, Liu Zijin successfully rebelled, cut off the food road, and cut off the emperor's food. The thunder was furious, and he already had the intention of abolishing the prince.It's just because of the law of the ancestors, the pressure is too great, and the grandson is involved, so he hesitates.

So far, King Han and King Zhao are naturally the most proud of this matter.Zhu Jixuan was equally proud...On the second month after the emperor returned to Beijing, Zhu Jixuan was deposed, and Zhu Jixuan became the king of Jin, and finally got his wish.According to the principle of who benefits and who is suspected, it is extremely possible that these princes are playing tricks behind the scenes!
Thinking about it this way, the plot of this conspiracy against the prince is clear. Zhu Gaoxu's brothers and cousins ​​teamed up to trick the prince. It seems that the plan is well-planned and the cooperation is tacit, and the effect is immediate. Feeling apprehensive, but bursts of excitement.

Because although the opponent's conspiracy is magnificent and dizzying, it has committed a big taboo of playing conspiracy, that is, there are too many places to go!Conspiracy is such a shady thing, and the clever planners make the best use of the situation and use it as a means. The less proactive actions should be, the better, and the smaller the part of the conspiracy, the better.The reason is very simple, once the conspiracy is detected by others, it loses its effect, and instead shoots itself in the foot.The bigger your actions, the wider the aspects involved, the harder it is to keep secrets, and the easier it is for people to catch you!

It is really impossible to say whether the person who planned this big conspiracy made a smart decision or was completely confused.But this is not something Wang Xian is worried about. He only knows that once he has figured out the context and the situation, he can see everything he can attack!He finally had the confidence to win this game in Shanxi!
Suppressing his excitement, Wang Xian continued to think about the current situation...

.

The next day, it was time for the saintess to go on tour again, and she was about to leave Guangling the next day, so she naturally had to give an explanation to the believers.

After reciting the scriptures and before distributing holy water and wafers, the saint glanced at the believers and said slowly: "I have difficulties and I have to travel far, so you can take care of yourself..."

The believers were stunned for a moment, and then stunned. Regardless of decency, they all asked anxiously: "What is the problem with the saint? I am willing to relieve the disaster for the saint..."

"No one can help me. This is a matter of my personal practice." The saint shook her head and said: "After I leave, you will still be united and friendly. Please remember that General Tongtian is ordered by the Buddha to lead you. No one can help you." Instead, you must respect General Tongtian as the master and prevent anyone from usurping his position."

The believers saw that it was useless, so they had to keep in mind the decree of the saint and spread it to all directions.

"When I return, it will be the day when you will escape from the sea of ​​suffering." After the saint finished her last sentence, the Sanskrit music started again, and the white-clothed waiters began to distribute holy water and holy cakes.Because I haven't seen the saint for a while, the enthusiasm of the people to receive the holy objects and bathe in the holy water is several times higher than usual. Fortunately, the saint has already made preparations to bring out all the holy bread and distribute it to the believers ...

After parting with the believers and going back to the mountain, it was already an hour later. When the saint girl entered the back hall, General Song followed in with a sullen face and said, "Why are you talking nonsense without authorization?" What he told the saint girl before was to tell the believers , I want to 'retreat and practice' for a period of time, it is not a long journey.

"They trust me so much, I don't want to lie to them..." The saint said indifferently: "Besides, what's wrong with me saying this?"

General Song thought for a while and said, "It's nothing..." It's a good sign that the saint strengthened General Tongtian's authority in public.It showed that she was starting to think about Liu Zijin.But General Song couldn't let her go any further, and said in a cold voice, "You are not allowed to make any claims in the future!"

"Understood..." The saint smiled indifferently and said, "I'm tired, you should also go down and rest."

.

Regarding what the saint said, General Song didn't care about it, but someone on the other side did.

Liu Zijin flattered the Holy Maiden, and every time the Holy Maiden lectured, people would immediately engrave the Holy Maiden's Jade Instructions and distribute them to his subordinates for reading.Therefore, General Pingtian soon arrived in black and white, with an old face ashen, and yellow hair like a fire, he gritted his teeth and said: "Liu Zijin, what kind of ecstasy soup did you pour on this bitch, and let her preach like this!"

The person he was talking to was Han Tiancheng, his confidant general, but the status of the two of them had changed, Wei Wuque was sitting on the right seat, and General Pingtian was standing at the bottom of the hall, as if they were his subordinates.

Wei Wuque's face was also ugly, and he read the Jade Instructions carefully again, frowned and said, "Why do I feel, there is something implied in these words, could they have noticed something?"

　I'm sorry, I'm guilty, I finished writing at two o'clock last night, I was dizzy, and I forgot to send it after uploading it. I woke up this morning and checked, but I didn't update it. It's too sinful... Kowtow to apologize.
