Chapter 620: Rebellious Ministers and Thieves, Die Well!
Seeing this report, Gao Jiancheng can be regarded as insightful, the one in Maolu Villa is really not a good stubble, the three major factions have come forward, and they dare to twist it, the courage is not ordinary, Shang Jianxiong is asking for trouble when he gets into trouble.
From another point of view, it is also a reflection of ability and confidence, so Gao Jiancheng is relieved in his heart.
It is not difficult for a smart person to deal with a smart person, he is afraid that he will run into a straw bag, and if he really has to be brought down by the court in three or two strokes, then he will also be dragged to death, and what he is doing in secret will be exposed sooner or later.
The black cauldron Xue Xiao who was unfavorable to the war must be carried back, and Shang Jianxiong was angry, but there was no other way.
It's useless to make an order, the Nanzhou army is still biting the robbery of the women of the Shang Dynasty, and they want to clear the traitors for the court, and they want the court to kill Xue Xiao and give an explanation. Shang Jianxiong can let Xue Xiao carry the black cauldron, but it is impossible to kill Xue Xiao, at least in the near future.
At least you can't kill because of Nanzhou's request, otherwise the court's face will be different, and it will also chill the hearts of the feudal officials of all parties, once the people's hearts are scattered and each makes plans, the threat will be the stability of Shang Jianxiong's position, so this time Shang Jianxiong must protect Xue Xiao no matter what.
There was no way, Shang Jianxiong had to ask the three major factions to come forward again.
When the news reached the three major factions, Long Xiu was furious, Yang Feng Yin disobeyed, Niu Youdao actually dared to come with him like this, how could he not be angry?
The three major factions sent a message to Dachan Mountain and ordered them to withdraw immediately.
Dachan Mountain is in a dilemma, retreat, the people and horses of the Shang Dynasty Sect will not retreat, I can't kill people, I will mess up Nanzhou, who will be responsible for the interests of my Dachan Mountain? Who will not say easy words? Do you three major factions dare to make Nanzhou out of great turmoil?
Dazen Mountain can only pretend to be confused, anyway, Niu Youdao said it earlier, and he has the responsibility to push it on him.
Since there is an appointment in advance, Dachan Mountain is not polite, and pushes the responsibility to Niu Youdao, and pleads to the three major factions, saying that the business people wear a pair of pants with Niu Youdao, and it is useless to put the knife on their necks here, in vain!
Niu Youdao also received a summons from the three major factions to withdraw from the army.
Niu Youdao's reason is even more absolute, not to retreat, but to postpone.
One reason is that the people of Nanzhou are searching for the remains of the dead soldiers in the same place, and it will take time.
The second reason is that the Nanzhou people and horses testified that some of the sergeants were captured by Xue Xiao's men and horses, and asked Xue Xiao to hand over the people, and the retreat could be accelerated by handing over the people.
The first reason is okay, it's a big deal to wait.
The second reason is that it's really a ghost can't say clearly, how can you not die in a war, if a person dies, there is no proof of death, draw up a list of dead people, if you have to say that you were arrested by Xue Xiao, you have to let Xue Xiao hand over people, where can Xue Xiao hand over people?
Xue Xiao said that it was useless if he didn't arrest him, the people and horses in Nanzhou were bitten to death and were arrested by Xue Xiao, and the three major factions had to uphold justice, since the war had been truce, since I wanted to withdraw my troops, why didn't Xue Xiao release them?
This is a strategy and a countermeasure.
Of course, there is another one, Niu Youdao said that he has a large number of witnesses in his hands, and it is true that the imperial court sent people to attack Maolu Villa, and the garrison and monks have killed and injured more than 10,000 people.
What's the situation? The two heads of the Purple Gold Cave and the Spirit Sword Mountain immediately rushed to the Xiaoyao Palace.
Of course, the two heads want to find Long Xiu, and it was Long Xiu who took the initiative to say that he went to Maolu Villa to get it, and this is what you Long Xiu did?
The two heads must ask Long Xiu to understand clearly.
Long Xiu also calmed down after he was angry, he couldn't do it if he wasn't calm, Niu Youdao and the people of Lingxiao Pavilion and the Heavenly Maiden Sect worshipped him with his own eyes, and if he really wanted to force Nanzhou to rebel, the entire Yan Kingdom couldn't bear it.
Niu Youdao agreed to the truce to give face to the three major factions, and refused to withdraw troops to ask the three major factions for an explanation.
At the beginning, Niu Youdao had already said very clearly, and the imperial court had repeatedly attacked him and repeatedly put him to death, so forget it? Is it wrong to find the three major factions to uphold justice? If it is really just like this, then it will be in response to Niu Youdao's words, is it not to give him a way to live?
What will be the consequences of not giving the cow a way to live, so do you need to talk about it?
As for how Long Xiu explained to Zijin Cave and Lingjian Mountain, Niu Youdao had already told him that Shang Jianxiong was indeed excessive, and he repeatedly carried the three major factions behind his back, and seemed to have forgotten that this world was the world of monks, and it was time to teach him a lesson.
The other is, do you really want to force Nanzhou to rebel?
The court is at fault first, and it is reasonable for people to ask for an explanation, but how to give this explanation is a problem.
It is not appropriate to dispose of Shang Jianxiong, and the three heads of the family can only discuss and discuss, but it can only be obvious in front of them, giving Shang Jianxiong a lesson, and assigning the three counties of Dingzhou to Nanzhou.
It is conceivable that this incident will inevitably cause a violent backlash from Shang Jianxiong.
So Long Xiu, the head of Xiaoyao Palace, Lin Ce, the head of Zijin Cave, and Meng Xuan, the head of Lingjian Mountain, came to the Dayan Palace together.
After learning of the decision of the three major factions, Shang Jianxiong was shocked, how could he agree to such conditions?
If he agreed to this humiliating condition, where would his majesty as an emperor be? I wonder how many people will poke his backbone in the back, or ridicule and ridicule.
In the main hall, facing the heads of the three factions, Shang Jianxiong tightened his cheeks and said word by word: "This condition, the widow can't agree!"
Gong Lince and Meng Xuan's eyes suddenly turned cold, staring coldly at Shang Jianxiong.
Silent, Tian Yu and the others, who were standing with their hands tied, were silent, and they could feel the suddenly depressing atmosphere in the hall.
"What did you say?" Long Xiu slowly stepped forward, coming face to face with him up close.
Tian Yu and the other eunuchs were taken aback, including Ga Miaoshui, and they all quickly stepped forward behind Shang Jianxiong, and they all stared at Long Xiu, maintaining a high degree of vigilance.
A group of monks sitting in the palace immediately stepped forward and pointed at Tian Yu and the others and reprimanded, "Presumptuous, retreat!"
Tian Yu and the others were indifferent, but Shang Jianxiong turned his head and waved his hand, "All retreat." ”
He knew in his heart that if he really wanted to do it, Tian Yu and the others would not be able to protect themselves at all.
Tian Yu and the others could only slowly retreat with solemn faces.
Long Xiu stared at Shang Jianxiong and said word by word: "What if we have to let you agree?"
Shang Jianxiong: "Make concessions to the rebels, the widow will never agree, if the widow agrees, you might as well kill the widow!"
Long Xiu sneered, "Now that you know that you are going to die or live, why didn't you say this when you were sneaking behind our backs? Why didn't you say this when you begged us to promote peace? Now that Dayan is surrounded by foreign enemies, you, the emperor, do not think of retreating from the enemy, but are busy engaging in internal strife, what do you want to do?"
Shang Jianxiong: "Why is it sneaky, someone maliciously framed the widow, how can the palace master be gullible, if it refers to the matter of the Maolu Villa, the widow does not know anything! This matter has nothing to do with the widow, if the palace master wants to confess, the widow must find out the truth and give an explanation to the three major factions!"
"Let people be held responsible?" Long Xiu sneered, and took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, which was the explanation that Shang Jianxiong had written to the three major factions earlier, "There are some things that don't need evidence, who did it, everyone knows it, you don't use these things to fool the palace." If you promise today, you have to promise, if you don't agree, you, the emperor, have done it!"
The paper in Long Xiu's hand smashed directly on Shang Jianxiong's face.
Shang Jianxiong stood indifferent, and said slowly: "The widow has been in Dayan for nearly twenty years, and after killing the widow, Dayan is in turmoil and in danger!" This is also a warning to the three major factions.
"You dare to threaten the palace?" Long Xiu sneered, tilted his head slightly, and ordered: "Your Majesty is ready to abdicate, go and invite the crown prince to take over his father's throne, officially reign over Dayan, order the ministers, and stabilize the hearts of the people of the court! I don't believe that my three major factions join forces to support, where can the court be chaotic!"
A sentence of the crown prince succeeding to the throne instantly hit Shang Jianxiong's soft underbelly, making Shang Jianxiong's cheeks twitch fiercely.
This is also one of the reasons why Emperor Hao Yunsheng of Qi was reluctant to establish a crown prince.
In the end, in the face of the three major factions to come hard, Shang Jianxiong still gave in.
It was Tian Yu who knew his thoughts, judged the situation, came forward in a timely manner, knelt in front of Shang Jianxiong and begged for Shang Jianxiong to promise to cede the three counties to Nanzhou.
The stormy waves that were about to be set off were instantly pressed down again, from beginning to end, Gong Lince and Meng Xuan basically didn't say anything, the thing was that Long Xiu didn't clean up, so naturally Long Xiu came forward to be a villain.
Thanks to the fact that the heads of the three major factions came together in person, they have the right to make full decisions on behalf of the three major factions, otherwise others really can't suppress Shang Jianxiong, who has been operating in Yan Country for many years and is not a vegetarian.
After Shang Jianxiong agreed, Tian Yu asked the three major factions to make a compromise to save a little face for the Emperor of Yan.
The matter of the cession of the three counties was not made public, and Xue Xiao of Dingzhou was notified in the form of a secret decree, and the area currently controlled by the two armies was silently guarded with Nanzhou.
Just as he was sending the golden wings to Dingzhou, a disciple from the Purple Gold Cave outside the hall ran in.
A secret letter was handed to the master, and Gong Lince's face changed slightly after seeing it, and he frowned.
Almost at the same time, a eunuch outside the hall stepped in and handed Tian Yu an urgent report.
After Tian Yu saw it, he said to Shang Jianxiong, who was blushing: "Your Majesty, Cangzhou is in an emergency, Wu Gongshan, the assassin of Cangzhou, suddenly fell ill and died!"
Shang Jianxiong glanced at Gong Lince, and said lightly: "Chaotic ministers and thieves, die well!"
Meng Xuan, the head of Lingjian Mountain, looked back at Gong Lince and asked, "There are so many monks around Wu Gongshan to help with conditioning, how could he suddenly die?"
"Cangzhou is afraid that something is going to happen. Gong Lince's expression was solemn, and he handed the letter to Meng Xuan to read.
Hearing that something was going to happen, Long Xiu immediately came forward and watched it side by side, and the two of them were shocked to see the content of the letter.
Qu Yunkong, the head of the Tongxian Pavilion, was assassinated!
Tongxian Pavilion is the cultivation force that guards Cangzhou.
Almost at the same time, Wu Gongshan, the assassin of Cangzhou, died of illness, and the head of Tongxian Pavilion was assassinated again, and the leaders of the Cangzhou cultivation world and the world died almost at the same time, how could there be such a coincidental thing, especially Qu Yunkong was assassinated.
And this Qu Yunkong also has another identity, his wife is the daughter of the previous head of the Zijin Cave, and the Tongxian Pavilion can be said to be a sect supported by the Zijin Cave.
