Castle Peak Does Not Change [Comprehensive Martial Arts]

Speaking of Emperor Yang Guang's personal conquest of Tuyuhun this time, besides the generals Yang Xiong and Yu Wenshu, there is another general who is not unfamiliar.

Yang Xuan felt.

Yang Xuangan is the eldest son of Yang Su. Yang Su had the military merits of going south to destroy Chen, suppress bandits, and defeat the Turks when Emperor Yang Guang ascended the throne. Guang was very satisfied with him, so this time Emperor Yang Guang personally conquered Tuyuhun, so he brought Yang Xuangan with him so that he could learn from his father and made great contributions to the Sui Dynasty.

At that time, Yang Xuangan had already finished his filial piety, and after he passed his filial piety, on the basis of inheriting Yang Su's title of Duke of Chu, he also paid homage to Hongluqing.It stands to reason that Yang Xuangan should be grateful, but he still has the heart to rebel. As for why he didn't resign from office and still contribute to Emperor Yang Guang in the court, isn't it because he is secretly dormant, waiting for the right time?

Anyway, he is weak and he is justified.

In any case, Yang Xuangan joined Emperor Yang Guang in this expedition. On the surface, he was conscientious and honest, but when he saw Zhangye County’s vanity that was piled up on the people’s fat and people’s cream in Zhangye County, Emperor Yang Guang actually rewarded him again. As a businessman, he was also awarded an official position that was not empty. Yang Xuangan felt very fluctuated in his heart. He felt that he was about to lose control of his unicorn arm!

Here I have to add an extra word, the "one merchant" Yang Xuangan mentioned was An Long, who was one of the eight masters of the Demon Sect.Didn't Anlong contact Gu Wangshu through Rong Fengxiang before? At that time, Gu Wangshu pointed out a clear way for Anlong to bring his caravan to Zhangye County and businessmen from various countries in the Western Regions. Doing business, and Anlong did a good job, and because of the business road brought by the cement formula, businessmen from other regions came to him after hearing the news, making Zhangye County a real businessman in the Central Plains and a western region in the past year or so. A place where merchants trade with each other, so its prosperity is not miserable at all, so Yang Xuangan, who has become a frog in the well because of his filial piety, thinks it is glitz.

Back to the topic, Yang Xuangan was becoming more and more unable to control himself, and it happened that Emperor Yang Guang was stabbed by a master-level swordsman. Yang Xuangan thought it was God helping him, so he wanted to take the opportunity to sneak attack on Emperor Yang Guang's palace.

At the critical moment, his uncle Yang Yue stopped him and told Yang Xuangan that this was not a good time: "The morality of the people is still the same, and there is no provocation in the country."

This shows no signs of downfall?Yang Xuan said indignantly: "He has been assassinated by people with lofty ideals, and my uncle has seen it too!"

Yang Yue's expression became more subtle: "Do you know who your so-called 'scholar of the rivers and lakes' is?"

Yang Xuangan said in a firm tone, "Who is it?"

Yang Yue said: "Fu Cailin of Goguryeo."

Yang Xuangan knew about Fu Cailin, but what he didn't know was how Fu Cailin came all the way to Zhangye County to assassinate Emperor Yang Guang.

Upon seeing this, Yang Yue told Yang Xuangan what happened during this period of time in the martial arts, which was half-heard, and finally said: "If you do it now, you will inevitably be named by others as Fan Qinghui believers. head."

Yang Xuangan: "..."

Yang Xuangan came back to his senses, and quickly thought of one thing: "As far as I know, Cihang Jingzhai has a high status in the martial arts world, and its followers are countless, and it also represents Buddhism. Wouldn't Qinghui offend the entire Buddhist world by bringing Qinghui into the palace as a concubine?"

After all, Yang Yue didn't know much about the reputation of Cihang Jingzhai, so he felt that Yang Xuangan's words were not unreasonable.

Next, Yang Xuangan temporarily suppressed the idea of ​​going to the imperial palace before assassinating Emperor Yang Guang, and instead went to assassinate Emperor Yang Guang to accept Fan Qinghui as his concubine with malicious intentions.

In fact, there is no need for Yang Xuangan to beat the side drums anymore. Emperor Yang Guang is turning the corner, and after hearing that the person who came to assassinate him this time is suspected to be Goguryeo martial arts master Fu Cailin, and the reason why he did this is suspected to be because of Fan Qinghui, he wants to know Fan Qinghui even more Exactly how ecstasy it is, the emotion that was originally eight points has now become twelve points.

In other words, Emperor Yang Guang has strengthened Nafan Qinghui's determination to become his concubine.

Even Emperor Yang Guang couldn't wait a little longer, his royal driver couldn't turn around in a short while, but didn't he still have a prince who had become more and more in his favor in recent years?

In this way, Emperor Yang Guang passed on the holy will to Prince Zhao first.

When Gu Qing received this decree in Chang'an, he didn't frown, he wasn't surprised at all.Moreover, Gu Qing didn't feel that he was helping Emperor Yang Guang to accomplish this matter at all. On the contrary, Gu Qing was now looking forward to what kind of chain reaction would be triggered after the event was completed.

Looking at it this way, it seems that Gu Qing wants to put Cihang Jingzhai and Fan Qinghui to death, but if he wants to stay with Cihang Jingzhai because of his status as a direct disciple of the Yingui Sect, that's not the case.For Gu Qing, it is true that he has been influenced by the Demon Sect in the past ten years, but he will not feel that the Demon Sect is justice because of this.In fact, Gu Qing felt that the fight between the Demon Sect and Buddhism and Taoism was actually giving up the root and chasing the end.

I mentioned before that the battle between the magic gate and the righteous way headed by Cihang Jingzhai is to fight over who is the main way and who is the heretic, but why the magic gate has been reduced to a demon gate, the crux is not that Buddhism and Taoism were introduced to the Central Plains later In terms of the Taoist school, but in the Han Dynasty's "rejecting a hundred schools of thought, and only respecting Confucianism", if you want to talk about grievances and debts, shouldn't it be the most confrontational with "Confucianism"?

Similarly, Cihang Jingzhai has a bigger problem.

The so-called "Confucianism" is the idea used by those in power to rule the world, while the mainstream sects such as Taoism and Buddhism, they are dependent on the people in power, or "Confucianism".Cihang Jingzhai put the cart before the horse, thinking that it is above those in power, otherwise Cihang Jingzhai would not use He's Bi to replace the natural choice of the Lord, which is the so-called divine right of the monarch.

Cihang Jingzhai puts herself too high, doesn't she know that high places are extremely cold?

Gu Qing leaned back in the chair, propped his forehead with his fingers, and stared casually at the imperial decree passed to him by Emperor Yang Guang. He thought he would not mind teaching Cihang Jingzhai a lesson with practical actions.

In fact, it is not only aimed at Cihang Jingzhai, but also the whole Jianghu and even the powerful people who have a connection with the Jianghu - Gu Qing is really tired of plotting rebellion.

Hmm... this seems to be the most fundamental reason.

Half a month later, I meditated on Zen Buddhism.

Jingnian Zen and Cihang Jingzhai are both called the two holy places of martial arts, and they are both the leaders of the White Dao. However, Jingnian Zen is not as impure as Cihang Jingzhai. For such a long time, only Fan Qinghui came out to speak out, saying Fan Qinghui and Cihang Jingzhai did not come from Fuhe's Bi.It's just that not long after they spoke out, news came that Emperor Yang Guang had been assassinated, and Cihang Jingzhai became the target of public criticism for a while, and even Jingnian Zen was labeled as a follower of Cihang Jingzhai in an instant.

If there's anything comforting about Zen meditation, it's not a person.

The followers of Cihang Jingzhai are all over the world.

Then again, the location of Jingnian Zen is not as mysterious as Cihang Jingzhai. It is located in the southern suburbs of Luoyang. There are hundreds of buildings in the temple, just like a small city. Three feet, a small copper hall as high as half a foot.In front of this small copper hall, there is a platform square that is hundreds of feet wide, built of white stone and surrounded by white stone railings, which is called the White Stone Square.

Usually there are not many ordinary pilgrims in Baishi Square, and now there is not a single ordinary pilgrim, but many unusual pilgrims.They are not ordinary because they have either been famous in the arena for a long time, or they have a high status in the arena, or both, and if you look carefully, there has been a lot of rumors in the arena during this period of time. All the relevant personnel involved in the accident of believers have arrived, except for Song Que who is still recovering from his injuries, but his younger brother Song Zhi has replaced him.

They were all invited, but many of them still don't understand why, even the burning sandalwood in Baishi Square didn't make them feel much peace of mind, especially Fan Qinghui from Cihang Jingzhai. The arrival added another layer to the impetuous atmosphere in Baishi Square.

Fan Qinghui has lost a lot, but she just stood there quietly, and she has the ability to turn her whole body into a fairyland, as if she was still filled with misty fairy air like before.

But this immortal energy is now particularly glaring.

The little things about Cihang Jingzhai and the believers are well known, and it is not a secret that Goguryeo's "Master Yijian" Fu Cailin assassinated Emperor Yang Guang. I don't know if the Turkic Ministry will come to commit crimes soon!All in all, Cihang Jingzhai's fairy aura is no longer as fairy as it used to be, or in other words, in the eyes of some people, this fairy aura has turned into bad luck, and whoever gets it is unlucky.

Song Zhi was convinced of this.

Not to mention that the Song Clan in Lingnan is now in a precarious situation, his brother Song Que alone was seriously injured because of Fan Qinghui, and he was separated from his wife and children. He was originally a close relative but has evolved into a close relative now. Feeling chilling, so Fan Qinghui is not a broom star but what is it!

He only hated Fan Qinghui and was extremely upset. Song Zhi hadn't forgotten to think about Jingnian Zen before posting this so-called hero post. What was he trying to do? Could it be that he wanted to publicly express that they had nothing to do with Cihang Jingzhai?

snort!

Song Zhi was wrong again this time, Jing Nian Zen was responsible for posting the hero post, but this time they are not the protagonists, and the protagonists will arrive soon:

First, from the stone steps directly at the foot of the mountain outside the mountain gate, came the sound of uniform footsteps. The footsteps were accompanied by the sound of armor, and it was easy to think that it was the army.Sure enough, a moment later, two rows of heavily armed soldiers came up from the [-] stone steps, and then lined up on the edge of Baishi Square in an orderly manner.

"How is this going?"

"How could there be people from the imperial court?"

"What is the meaning of Jingnian Zen?"

"..."

While a group of invited martial arts experts were whispering, several more people came from the stone steps, but the leader was well-known to the martial arts experts. He is the only one who has practiced the secret skill "Bing Xuan Jin" handed down after Yu Wen was injured, and he is still the chief guard of Emperor Yang Guang.As for the rest of the people, although people in Jianghu don't know their specific origins, they can only hear their soft and long breathing, and they can know that they are all masters of both internal and external cultivation.

At this time, anyone with a quick brain would know that it was time to link the appearance of Yu Wenhua and the imperial guards with the assassination of Emperor Yang Guang not long ago.The assassination of the majestic king of a country is not a trivial matter, and Goguryeo is also involved in it, so the court will naturally not let it go.But this assassination matter should only be related to Cihang Jingzhai, why are there so many people here today?

Does the imperial court want to catch them all?

No matter how you look at it, this is impossible. Yu Wenhua is the second master of the Yuwen Clan, both internal and external. Isn't this group of people first-class masters?

Just as the group of knights who used martial arts to break the rules were thinking wildly, Yu Wenhuaji stood still, bowed slightly to the young man who appeared at the end, and said, "His Royal Highness."

Prince Zhao?

Prince Zhao made a good statement in the arena, after all, he is a prince, and when the Great Wall was built earlier, it involved Lu Miaozi, who hadn't appeared in the arena for a long time.Furthermore, among the people present, "Earth Sword" Song Zhi and "Martial Arts Judge" Xie Hui and others had dealt with Prince Zhao face to face.Now after being stunned, he couldn't help but go to see Prince Zhao.

Earlier, when Song Zhi went to visit Prince Zhao, Prince Zhao wore regular clothes, not like the clothes he wears now, with black clothes, nine chapters, and nine white beads, red silk tassels, rhinoceros hairpins, green The ear-filling crown, the leather belt with gold hooks, the large belt, the pair of Yuyu and jade adornments, and the red shoes decorated with gold and silver buckles, can be said to be graceful and luxurious.

And Prince Zhao is handsome and handsome, although he doesn't have any martial arts, but he walks step by step with a forceful bearing, making people dare not look at him casually.

For a moment, the entire Baishi Square fell silent, only the sound of Prince Zhao's footsteps.He walked a little carelessly, and his eyes slipped from the bronze statue of Manjusri Bodhisattva enshrined in the middle of Baishi Square to the five hundred arhats made of gold and copper not far away. Please invite the host of Jing Nian Temple to send invitations to all of you, who would let Gu not have such great energy to invite all of you."

"And Gu invited all of you here today, because my emperor has a holy intention to convey."

Prince Zhao spoke in an eloquent and frustrating manner, and the words were very eloquent, but before they could turn around, a servant who followed the prince heard the sound and respectfully delivered the imperial decree in his hand to Prince Zhao.

Prince Zhao took the imperial decree with his well-articulated hands, and slowly opened the imperial decree. He did not rush to read it, but glanced past the group of people who were still standing still, and asked in a leisurely manner: "You don't want to Jishou to respectfully listen to my emperor's will?"

Most of the people who came today are from the Jianghu, but it does not mean that the people from the Jianghu are not afraid of imperial power.Well, the people who came here today seem to be less respectful of Emperor Yang Guang, so that even after Prince Zhao reminded them, very few of them really knelt down to listen to the imperial decree after looking at each other in blank dismay.

"Very good." Prince Zhao said inexplicably, "Originally, Gu chose the location of Jingnian Zen because he valued that it is a Buddhist holy place, but I remind Gu not to start killing before thoroughly finding out the fact that our emperor was stabbed. It's just that you are so contemptuous of Tianwei now, it can't be said that you are not challenging Gu's patience. If that's the case, then Gu will fulfill you."

Is this to do it?

All the heroes of the rivers and lakes were thinking about everything at this moment, and almost all of them secretly guarded themselves, but what made them feel incredible was that when Prince Zhao finished speaking, not only the guards did not respond, but even Yu Wenhuaji did not respond. A gesture of hands.

Is this in the nest?

However, the next moment the bell in the temple rang, and then accompanied by the bell echoing in Jingnian Zen, there was also a sky-shattering roar.The sound was like spring thunder exploding in my ears, followed by the smell of gunpowder smoke, and the sound of someone falling to the ground.Rumbling, the Baishi Square where they were located felt the vibration, as if a hill fell down.

No, not like.

It is true that there are mountains collapsing.

Looking not far away from the Baishi Square where they were, one could see the originally slim mountain peak, which was attacked by the roar and was razed to the ground in a short time.This brought unparalleled shock to everyone in Baishi Square. Although they didn't know how Prince Zhao made people do it, such a not-so-low mountain was razed to the ground in a short period of time. Knowing that if such methods are used on them, they are just flesh and blood, even if they are martial arts masters, how can they resist?

It can be said that Prince Zhao hit such a "big stick", which made the heroes who were still mighty and unyielding dizzy. Arrogant, succumbing to the supreme imperial power.

Fan Qinghui's face turned pale, and she understood deeply at this moment that once she knelt down, she would admit that Cihang Jingzhai had no right to be above Emperor Yang Guang at all, and even less so, she had no so-called qualification to be a substitute for natural selection. host.But if she didn't kneel down, those who waited for her Cihang Jingzhai would probably be destroyed.

Lost, totally lost.

No, it's not over yet.

Can Emperor Yang Guang be stabbed in vain?

Could He's Bi fall outside in vain?

Prince Zhao is also Gu Qing who came to teach this group of knights who used martial arts to teach a lesson. He lowered his eyes and looked at the crowd kneeling in front of him, with a vague smile on the corner of his mouth, and his hands trembling. Put the imperial decree in front of your eyes and start to read the imperial decree aloud.

Following the reading of the imperial decree, some people kneeling on the ground began to turn pale and sweat.While the remaining part was still in fear, it was a little relieved, and began to be glad that they didn't get involved too much.

They will have such a reaction, it is because it is mentioned in this imperial decree that Cihang Jingzhai, as a subject of my prince, possesses the Heshibi, which symbolizes imperial power and cannot be owned by the royal family, and is suspected of open rebellion. Moreover, the assassination of Cihang Jingzhai and our emperor is inextricably linked, which adds another crime that deserves to be punished.Only my emperor thought that he was an outsider in Cihang Jingzhai, and he had a good reputation before that, so he specially appointed Prince Zhao to take full responsibility for thoroughly investigating the people who interfered with the case, so as not to wrong any good citizen who respects our emperor. Nor will he indulge any rebel who dares to despise Tianwei.

This is it.

Let's not talk about how many people this sacred will will implicate, just say its sentence "Cihang Jingzhai is for my prince and people", and Cihang Jingzhai was unceremoniously dragged down from the high position, Knock down to the same status as everyone else.This Cihang Jingzhai is still the leader of the Bai Dao, but he is only mediocre in front of the imperial power, let alone other forces-if he wants to use military force to break the ban, he has to weigh his own weight.

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that this matter will definitely not be good.

Conspiring to rebel and assassinating the emperor, which one is not a heinous crime that implicates relatives?

But Cihang Jingzhai is in the center of the vortex, and it involves many related people, such as the Lingnan Song Clan, the Bashu Domineering Fort, and even the Goguryeo Master Yijian, and even during this period of time or Is it fishing in troubled waters, or a group of gangsters who add fuel to the fire.

You can still vividly remember the scene where the mountains outside the Zen school were razed to the ground. If this incident ends anticlimactically, what will be the face of the royal family?No matter what you do, you have to make an example of others, don't you?

For a moment, needles could be heard in Baishi Square.

Only the instigator felt the most relaxed. He felt that with such an incident, the rest who had the intention of rebelling should think twice before rebelling, right?Otherwise, it would be in vain for him to show the cannon made by alchemy, the secret weapon he made at this time.

Gu Qing put away the imperial decree with a smile, and leisurely walked to Emperor Yang Guang's chief guard, Yu Wenhuaji, turned his head to look at him and said, "Director Yuwen, I don't know much about Jianghu, where do you think Gu should come from?" Check it out?"

Yu Wenhuaji is tall and thin, with long hands and feet, ancient face, indifferent expression, a pair of eyes that are deep and unpredictable, giving people the impression of being cold and ruthless, but at this time he is smiling wryly in his heart, and he is in awe of Prince Zhao. I don't know how much it is high, so I bowed slightly and said: "I think that since everything starts from Cihang Jingzhai, we might as well start the investigation from Cihang Jingzhai."

Yu Wenhuaji knew in his heart that Cihang Jingzhai was no longer the leader of the White Dao from today onwards, and even the influence of the entire Jianghu had declined, and the prestige of Emperor Yang Guang would rise to a higher level.

Gu Qing had a panoramic view of Yu Wenhuaji's changes in expression, but he didn't care about the changes in his mood, and just said according to his words: "If it was that simple, maybe I wouldn't be alone like today."

As he said that, he sighed pretendingly: "It's so lonely to think about how not to hurt the jade bottle, but also hit the mouse."

These words are too meaningful. Yu Wenhuaji is not stupid to be the chief guard of Emperor Yang Guang at a young age. He knows what the "jade bottle" that Prince Zhao said is what it means , isn't it referring to Fan Qinghui again?It seems that Emperor Yang Guang's desire to accept Fan Qinghui as his concubine is not just a rumor, Yu Wenhuaji frowned in his heart, firstly, he felt that Emperor Yang Guang was really good at meat and vegetables, and even nuns could eat it, secondly, he was also very fond of it. Knowing Cihang Jingzhai's demeanor, Fan Qinghui is not an ordinary nun who eats vegetarian food and recites Buddha's name. Looking at her many believers, one can tell that she is a concubine and concubine... In this way, if it is called Emperor Yang Guang She, that's okay.

However, Yu Wenhuaji quietly raised his eyes and glanced at the crown prince who couldn't see the expression of joy or anger. He didn't know what he thought of, and then quietly lowered his eyes.

Gu Qing and Yu Wenhuaji talked, and did not deliberately lower their voices. Besides, Gu Qing is the crown prince, there is really no need for him to hide it here, and all the people present are first-class masters, so they listened to the conversation between the two of them. went in.

They quickly thought of what Yu Wenhua had thought of, and the look in Fan Qinghui's eyes became even more wrong for a while.

In fact, this is hinted at in the imperial decree:

Emperor Yang Guang was thinking of Cihang Jingzhai's former "beautiful" name, which is why he asked the crown prince to take painstaking and thorough investigations, and to know that He's Bi is absolutely true in Cihang Jingzhai, just based on this One incident is enough to stamp it as a rebellion, and there is no need for more substantive evidence.

And, Gu Qing did it on purpose.

His purpose is to kill chickens and monkeys, not to kill others.Besides, who else knows better than him what the whole thing is like?Gu Qing also deliberately pointed out another purpose of Emperor Yang Guang's determination to win Fan Qinghui, which is to let Fan Qinghui also experience the feeling of being kidnapped by human morality.

Or give Cihang Jingzhai a chance to create another story of "feeding the devil with the body"?

The development of the matter is also going in the direction Gu Qing expected. While he is putting pressure on the people in the rivers and lakes in the court, Xie Mou from Duzun Castle is going to ask Fan Qinghui, for his Bashu, for his Duzun Castle, Ask Fan Qinghui to be Emperor Yang Guang's concubine.And even if Fan Qinghui doesn't think about his Sovereign Fortress, he has to think about it for Cihang Jingzhai. That is a serious crime of treason. Sending troops to destroy Cihang Jingzhai, Cihang Jingzhai might not be able to resist.

So Fan Qinghui is the suzerain, if she doesn't go to hell, who will go to hell?

Not to mention, Xie Mou's remarks have been supported by more and more people.On the Song Clan's side, Song Zhi didn't care about Song Que's disapproval, and followed behind to cheer for someone Xie—if Fan Qinghui was sacrificed alone, the Song Clan could be saved, and the Song Clan could be prevented from being accused of treason. Song Zhi is absolutely willing to be free from the weapons of the imperial court that can knock down mountains.

Up to now, no matter what Fan Qinghui's wishes are, the choice she can make in the end when she is isolated and helpless, no, she has no other choice at all.

Speaking of this kind of thing of giving up others for oneself, Cihang Jingzhai used to do it a lot, but now the feng shui turns, and it is the turn of others to ask for Fan Qinghui.

And when Fan Shitai was asked to "deliver all living beings", the news that Fu Cailin attempted to assassinate Emperor Yang Guang but Emperor Yang Guang was still injured finally reached Fu Cailin's ears.

Fu Cailin: "???"
