Great Tang Southern Emperor

"Have nothing to say?" Li Zhen sneered, "Since you have pleaded guilty, you should fulfill our previous bet."

"What bet?" Wang Zhicheng was startled, but did not react.

"What? Are you going to renege on your debt?" Li Zhen's eyes narrowed. Anyone who knows him knows that this is a prelude to killing someone. The more you say against Li Zhen's intention at this time, the faster you will die. .

However, Wang Zhicheng didn't know. Hearing this, he laughed and said, "Your Highness's words are wrong. I didn't agree before, so how could it be considered a repudiation?"

Li Zhen said coldly: "But do you know, this king has a rule, as long as this king makes a bet, you either agree or refuse, there is no middle point, since you just let me tell you about your fault in advance, then Even if you acquiesce to this gamble, since I have already turned over the cards, you cannot go back on your word."

Chapter 63 This king is for his own good

Wang Zhicheng finally saw the murderous intent in Li Zhen's heart, he was terrified, sweated coldly, and asked in a trembling voice, "What do you mean by your highness?"

Li Zhen didn't answer, but turned around and smiled: "Come here, since Wang Yushi is unwilling to fulfill the bet, why don't you help him?"

"Yes." Immediately, several guards grabbed Wang Zhicheng and pressed him to the edge of the city wall.

"What are you doing? Your Highness, I know I'm wrong." Wang Zhicheng was horrified, struggling to beg for mercy: "My colleagues, please help me, Mr. Changsun, I came with you, please help me..."

"Your Highness..." Some people couldn't see it, and wanted to speak up for Wang Zhicheng: "Is this too much? After all, Mr. Wang is a famous person in the world, a Confucianist and virtuous..."

"It is precisely because he is a famous man in the world and a Confucianist, that I let him fulfill his promise. Don't you Confucian disciples always regard yourself as a gentleman?" Li Zhen glanced at him lightly, and said lightly: "The basic ethics of a gentleman It means that words must be practiced. There is nothing wrong with that, right? Wang Zhicheng agreed to the king's bet, but later regretted it. Is this the style of a gentleman?

If the king of Japan spared his life today, he would indeed be able to leave alive, but the good reputation he had accumulated for decades would be wiped out in one day.From now on, he can only face thousands of people scolding, thousands of people despise, and live a hard life. What's the point of living such a life?It's better to just let this king fulfill his promise on his behalf, or leave a name that says what he says, and leave a good example for future generations to be admired by thousands of generations and worshiped by all generations-think about it, this king is harming him ?This king is helping him. "

"Damn..." The people from the aristocratic family camp immediately vomited blood. After all, isn't it because they didn't practice what they said?How big is it?How did it become a matter of fame when it came to your mouth?

Little do they know that this is their own usual move. They always like to turn small things into big things, and big things into disasters. Even if someone farts on an inappropriate occasion, in their eyes, this is a big thing that does not respect etiquette. Kill people who fart, they won't let it go.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhen also used this trick today, directly beating them into chaos. He obviously had countless reasons in his heart, but he couldn't justify Li Zhen's words.

"..." As for Li Zhen's side, everyone gave him a thumbs up silently, and secretly screamed that it was powerful. His Highness's move is really a way to treat a person with his own way. So good, so relieved, so...shameless.

"Your Highness, please forgive me..." Seeing that there was no one in the aristocratic family to speak for him, Wang Zhicheng was so frightened that feces and urine flowed out, and his body stinks.

Li Zhen didn't even look at him, and said coldly: "What are you doing? Don't you help Wang Yushi and fulfill your promise?"

"Yes." The guard immediately supported Wang Zhicheng and continued walking towards the city wall.

But Wang Zhicheng was really frightened and went crazy: "No, Li Zhen, you can't kill me. I am a disciple of the Wang family in Taiyuan. If you kill me, you will become an enemy of the Wang family in Taiyuan... Li Zhen, you will die badly... I I'm an official from the imperial court, you can't just kill me... No, Your Highness, please forgive me, I won't dare again..."

Unfortunately, no matter how much Wang Zhicheng threatened or pleaded, before Li Zhen gave the order, the guards who dragged him did not stop.

Li Zhen didn't look at Wang Zhicheng at all, but stared at a person out of the corner of her eyes: "That is your uncle after all, won't you intercede for him?"

"Yes...Wang Fangyi, Fang Yi, I am your uncle, please help me and His Highness to plead for mercy... Otherwise, you are an unfilial son...quickly help me to plead with Your Highness." Wang Zhicheng also seemed to grasp the help Straw, hooked his head and begged.

Everyone focused on Wang Fangyi, wanting to see his reaction. As a child of the Taiyuan Wang family, how would he react?

Wang Fangyi's expression was quite tangled, his fists loosened and tightened, tightened and loosened again, the wall was cloudy and cloudy, and the whole person was caught in a contradiction.He wanted to plead for mercy, but he was afraid that Li Zhen would alienate him because of this, but if he didn't intercede for Wang Zhicheng... After all, Wang Zhicheng was his uncle, so if he watched Wang Zhicheng being bumped to death like this, he might gain a reputation for being ruthless in the future ——Who dares to reuse such a courtier?

"Forget it." Seeing Wang Fangyi's expression, Li Zhen already understood what he meant: "The sacrificial ceremony is over, you escort Fei Cui back to the palace first."

"Yes." Wang Fangyi breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately took orders to direct the convoy into the city.

Not long after Wang Fangyi entered the city, he faintly heard a scream mixed with impact from behind.

"Huh... that's all, let's call it names." Wang Fangyi smiled wryly and shook his head. After today's incident, the war between Li Zhen and the aristocratic family and Confucianism is in full swing, but this has nothing to do with him. , then just do your own thing well. As for the Wang family——Wang Fangyi doesn’t think that the family will be the opponent of the King of Yue. Inheritance and continuation of Wang's bloodline.

Li Zhen didn't look at what happened next, and followed the convoy back to the palace—he didn't have the heart to admire how a person died.

"Your Highness, is this the jade you mentioned?" As soon as the convoy entered the palace, Li Zhen couldn't wait to order people to unload all the cars—although he played with jadeite in his previous life, it was only a small matter, and he never owned one. There are so many rough emerald stones.

Changsun Wuji casually picked up a gray stone about the size of a fist, and asked doubtfully, "Are you sure there is jade in it?"

"When did my uncle learn to judge people by their appearance?" Li Zhen took the original stone and said with a smile: "Uncle is also a person who has read a lot of poetry and books. He must have heard the story of He Shibi, right?"

"Your Highness means that this is Shibaoyu?" Cen Wenwen immediately realized: "That makes sense, no wonder the appearance is so ugly."

Stone-packed jade was not a rare thing in ancient times. The famous Heshibi is the most classic representative of it, and there is Hetian jade (also called Khotan jade in ancient times, because the place was called Khotan country at that time) , Most of them are also wrapped in stone skin.

"However, is Your Highness sure that there will be good jade in it?" Changsun Wuji hesitated. There are good and bad jade. The best jade can be worth hundreds of thousands of guan, but the inferior jade is often worthless.Moreover, this is still stone-covered jade, no one knows what is going on inside, if all the stones are solved, but no good jade is obtained, then it is really unreasonable, maybe people will use it to attack, Said it was God's punishment or something...

Chapter 599 Chaos

Chapter 64 Messed Up

"Of course I know that, that's why I specially transported so many rough stones at once." Li Zhen was full of confidence. He is proficient, but he still has a good understanding of what kind of rough stone can produce jade.

This batch of rough stones was selected by the craftsmen in charge of mining according to his own requirements. In addition, the jadeite mines at this time have not been mined yet, so the chances of producing jade are still very high.Therefore, although Li Zhen couldn't guarantee that all the ores in this batch would produce jade, one out of ten yuan could still be guaranteed. As for whether the jade produced was good or bad, it depended on God's will.

However, Li Zhen felt that with her good luck since she was a child, the probability of finding high-quality jadeite was quite high.What's more, even if this batch doesn't exist, isn't there a next batch?Even if my luck has really declined to the extreme and I haven't solved the good jade all the time, won't I still fake it?

"Let's not talk about this, let's untangle the stone first." Li Zhen greeted, and the jade craftsman who was standing next to him immediately came forward to untangle the stone with various tools.

At this time, there was no automatic stone-breaking machine, and the jade craftsmen used manual stone-breaking, slowly grinding with emery, which was very time-consuming. Li Zhen didn't have the patience to wait here, so she dismissed all the people under her command, and only brought Changsun Wuji and Cen Wenwen came to the study.

"Your Highness, you have overdone it today." As soon as he arrived at the study, Changsun Wuji frowned and said, "This Wang Zhicheng is a member of the Wang family after all. Although he is not a direct descendant, he is quite prestigious in the Wang family. I'm afraid that the Wang family won't let it go, and beat him to death in the face of others, so against the aristocratic family."

"Against the aristocratic family? So what?" Hearing this, Li Zhen smiled lightly and said, "It's as if we have no confrontation. In Nanyang, the aristocratic family, Confucianism, and Buddhism united to make things difficult for this king. If Taoism hadn't popped up at the last moment, Maybe I really had to explain where it was last time."

"What's more..." Li Zhen's smile became brighter and brighter: "Uncle, do you think that the aristocratic Confucianism and Buddhism are still in the mood to trouble me?"

"Eh..." Changsun Wuji and Cen Wenwen looked at each other, and they both saw wry smiles in each other's eyes. It seemed that they were worrying for nothing. How could the aristocratic family have the mood to trouble Li Zhen at this time?

Now the whole world is crazy about the Yindao Silver Mine. Although they know that this is Datang's conspiracy, and Datang is going to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and finally reap the benefits of the fisherman, but they just can't bear their desires, and they don't want to. No greed for Silver Island.

Now the whole world is brains out for Yindao, each family's background is fully revealed, the blood alliance of the aristocratic family, the Spring and Autumn Pavilion of the Confucian school, and the Buddha's anger hall of the Buddhist school... It can be said that they have used all their means and their trump cards.

The major forces are at war with each other: Buddhism and Confucianism, Confucianism and aristocratic families, aristocratic families and Buddhist sects are fighting each other... The internal affairs of each family are also not at peace. Stabbing a knife, several major sects of Buddhism secretly plot against each other...

First, Master Tanzong of Shaolin was ambushed on the way to Lingnan, and the army of five hundred stick monks was wiped out. Master Tanzong was stabbed sixteen times in his body, and was even beheaded, and Yinyin disappeared.

Immediately after news came out that Yinyin appeared in the hands of a small gang nearby, so the next morning, the gang leader, down to the old lady who cooked, all disappeared, and even the entire gang forum was searched. Even the tiles on the roof were all removed, but no one got the news of Yinyin.

Then, Yin Yin appeared in Quanzhou in the south of Lingnan, and there was news that Li Mingxin, the younger brother of the Li family leader of Zhao County among the seven families and five surnames, was haunting the Quanzhou shipyard and wanted to buy a large ship to go to sea.

So that night, the inn where Li Mingxin was staying was besieged by unknown people. Fortunately, Li Mingxin went to see a friend that day and stayed at his friend's house, so he escaped with his life.But that inn was bad luck for eight lifetimes. Whether it was the innkeeper or the boarding guests, everyone was slaughtered. The governor of Quanzhou was furious and ordered a thorough investigation, but until now, the murderer has not been found. Who is it.

……

All in all, the whole world was in chaos, but it also made the imperial court see clearly how terrifying their enemies really are.

Among other things, Buddhism alone has easily gathered [-] monks and soldiers. These monks and soldiers are all well-equipped, and even have a small amount of grenades and light artillery as fire support—and these [-] monks and soldiers have now joined the battle for the silver mine , All have been shipped to Lingnan, ready to make a final deal with the enemy in Lingnan.

And this is not their limit, Buddhism can be passed down in China for hundreds of years, how could it be possible to only have such a little foundation?So not long after the ten thousand monks and soldiers set off, the temples of the entire Tang Dynasty were mobilized. A group of five, or a hundred or ten, will gradually gather in the south of Lingnan. If they are all gathered together, at least [-] soldiers can be entangled.
