Red Mansion: Incense and God Road, starting from the City God of Shenjing
Chapter 216: Someone coming from Wuyi Mountain!
Chapter 216: Someone coming from Wuyi Mountain!
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, a major purge took place in the court.
Prince Yi Zhong and the third prince were demoted to commoners and confined to the clan house, and would not be pardoned even if amnesty was offered.
The power that Prince Li left to Prince Yi Zhong was completely wiped out.
Behind the third prince.
In the Kaiyuan lineage, two marquisates and five earldoms were stripped of their titles, or their property was confiscated and their clans were exterminated, or they were exiled.
For a time, the strength was greatly reduced.
When it comes to treason, as the leaders of the Kaiyuan lineage, Duke Dingguo and Duke Weiguo did nothing but denounce the stupidity behind the scenes.
He didn’t dare to stand up and beg for mercy.
Taking this opportunity, Emperor Shunde promoted many of his former trusted ministers.
A lot of military and political power was recovered.
Lin Ruhai also took up the post of Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
It also made many ministers in the court understand what it means that a new emperor means new ministers.
Outside the court.
The two major princely palaces of Xining and Nangan were also involved in treason, and their main branches were executed!
Liu Jinghao, the head of Ziwei Division, personally led the experts out of the capital.
Suppress the ancestral lands of the two major families in the west and south.
Except for a small number of clansmen who fled and were wanted, the two major royal palaces were basically destroyed.
On the other hand, Mu Kangwen had planned to join Jia Cong’s side early on.
Arguing that the title of Earl was no longer suitable for use, he wrote a letter to the Emperor Shunde requesting him to bestow the plaque again in the name of the imperial decree.
The two major royal palaces of Xining and Nangan were, after all, founding heroes, and their royal titles were bestowed upon them by Emperor Taizu.
Now that it has been eradicated, there are more or less some remarks among the people about abandoning the good guy after his death and slaughtering the meritorious official.
Taking this opportunity, Emperor Shunde rewarded his subjects according to their merits.
Because of his meritorious service in suppressing the rebellion, the Earl of Dongping was promoted to the first-class Marquis of Dongping, and the title could be passed down for three generations before surrendering.
When Mu Kangwen entered the palace to express his gratitude, he hinted that the Mu family was preparing to transfer its power overseas.
Emperor Shunde was very happy.
For a time, the emperor and his subjects got along well with each other and were widely praised.
At this point, the four kings of different surnames in Daqian were completely destroyed.
It also sends a signal to other noble families.
Except for Mu Kangwen, all those who participated in suppressing the rebellion were also rewarded.
Ma Shang, the third-class Weiyuan general of the Zhiguo Mansion, was confused, but woke up in time and fought hard. He was promoted to the first-class viscount!
Chen Ruiwen, the third-class general of the Duke of Qi’s Mansion, was promoted to second-class viscount!
Shi Guangzhu, the second-class Tiger-Power General of the Shan Guo Mansion, was promoted to the first-class general!
While the strength of the Kaiyuan lineage was greatly damaged, the heirs of the eight dukedoms of the founding lineage.
All of them returned to their noble rank due to their merits.
Showing signs of resurgence.
As Jia Cong was the chief contributor to the suppression of the rebellion, he was awarded one of two titles, the third-class Marquis of Wuwei, and was promoted to the first-class Marquis of Wuwei.
……
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather gets colder.
Jia Cong did not pay much attention to the turmoil in the court.
Until the first snow of winter falls.
The peace of the Jing’an Marquis Mansion was broken.
Even though the snow was falling heavily, the Marquis’ Mansion was still as warm as spring all year round under the protection of the formation.
In the pavilion in the back garden, a small red clay stove was lit to suit the occasion.
Shi Xiangyun was urging Jia Cong to write a poem to suit the occasion.
But then I saw the mandarin ducks coming over.
“Master, the butler Wen from the front yard sent a message saying that someone from Wuyi Mountain is outside asking to see you.”
“Wuyi Mountain?”
Since Jia Cong became a congenital god, he has dealt with Wuyi Mountain twice.
One time was at the former residence of Wang Ziteng.
Taoist Qingxu, the great elder of Mount Wuyi, was invited by Prince Beijing’s Palace to help Wang Ziteng.
Later he was scared away by Jia Cong.
One time was when they fought with the Kong family in Xishan.
The supreme elder of Wuyi Mountain is Xuan Yangzi.
Both times he dealt with Jia Cong, he stood on the opposite side.
“I didn’t go to settle accounts with them, but they came here on their own.”
“Sister Bao, please bring them to my study.”
After pondering for a moment, he guessed the purpose of the people coming from Wuyi Mountain.
Jia Cong smiled indifferently.
“it is good!”
Upon hearing this, Baochai stood up and nodded.
……
Side Hall of the Front Courtyard of the Marquis’s Mansion
“Great Elder, when you were dealing with Marquis Jing’an in Shenjing City before, the other party’s strength was also…”
The head of Wuyi Mountain, Qingjing Taoist, is a rare female nun in the Xuanmen sect. She looks middle-aged.
Dressed in Taoist robes, he exudes a calm and peaceful temperament.
He is of the same generation as the great elder Taoist Qingxu.
But one hundred and fifty years ago, he had already achieved the status of Yin God.
This is the initial stage of Yin God.
“Master, one year ago, I was invited by Prince Beijing’s Mansion to help Wang Ziteng.”
“At that time, Marquis Jing’an was just a sword cultivator. His strength was stronger than mine, but it was limited.”
“Now……”
Taoist Qingxu had a look of shock and fear on his face.
Not to mention the power of the stars and the majestic literary aura that was wafting down from the sky above the marquis’s mansion.
But the few glances that swept across me when I entered the mansion just now.
It makes the emotional Taoist tremble with fear.
“I understand. As expected…in the great struggle, many geniuses emerge.”
“In just one year, he has developed such terrifying strength.”
“My Wuyi Mountain has been gradually declining. I have made many mistakes. I hope I won’t make the same mistake again this time…”
Upon hearing this, the head monk Qingjing Taoist sighed.
Taoist Qingxu is at the third level of spiritual cultivation, and his perception is not clear.
But Taoist Qingjing was actually practicing the Yin Spirit seriously.
How can I not feel it?
Since he entered the mansion until now, five fourth-level masters have glanced at him.
The number of fourth-level masters in this mansion alone exceeds that of Wuyi Mountain.
……
“Are you from Wuyi Mountain?”
Just then, Baochai came in from outside.
Although the outfit seems ordinary, it gives people the illusion that they are integrated into the world.
The two pointed dragon horns on the head give off a feeling of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
“The current head of Wuyi Mountain, Qingjing, pays homage to the national master.”
With just one glance, Taoist Qingjing knew that Baochai’s strength was even greater than his own.
I didn’t dare to neglect it immediately.
He quickly stood up and bowed.
“There was a misunderstanding between me and Marquis Jing’an before. I came here today to apologize for my crime!”
“I hope the Imperial Master can say a few good words for me. Afterwards, I am willing to give you a seven-refined magic weapon as a gift.”
“I will not interfere with Cong’er’s decision.”
“He wants to see you, come with me!”
Upon hearing this, Baochai just said something coldly.
Then he turned and led the way outside.
When Taoist Qingjing saw this, he sighed in his heart.
It is said that the daughter of the Xue family and Marquis Jing’an are inseparable and have a very close relationship.
But look at it now.
It’s not as simple as just intimacy.
There are only a few seven-refined magic weapons in Wuyi Mountain.
They were all left behind by our predecessors.
It is enough to invite a master of the fourth realm to help.
As a result, in front of Baochai, she couldn’t even say a few nice words to help Wuyishan slightly change the impression in front of Jia Cong.
Such personal charm.
No wonder so many fourth-level masters gathered around him.
How can Wuyi Mountain be compared?
……
Follow Baochai all the way to the study.
Jia Cong’s study is not very big.
There is a row of bookshelves, and the books on them look a little old.
It is obvious that this book is often read, and is not just a decoration like the books in the study of other powerful families.
Jia Cong was sitting behind the table, next to him.
There stood an old monk who looked unobtrusive and had a kind face.
Just when I saw the old monk for the first time.
Taoist Qingjing’s pupils suddenly shrank.
