Looking back on the past and repenting, I realize that there is no wiser person than the Holy Prince. However, Xu Fang was immoral and the country lost its virtuous prince. "
"Begging sin from Heaven, cut open the liver and gallbladder!"
Xu Fang, who was in front of Qingshi Palace, had no idea how quickly this matter was spreading.
When he finished speaking the last eight words, he changed from a prostrate posture to a kneeling posture.
Then he took out a dagger, and with tears streaming down his face, he cut his body and cut open his heart, liver, and gallbladder!
He dissected his liver and gallbladder to understand his heart.
…
The maple clouds, a scenic sight that only occurs once a year, are in full bloom late in the evening.
The people sitting in Xiashan Villa are all prominent figures in Linzi.
Among them, Qing Xi, the leader of the Four Seas Merchant Alliance, and Li Zhengshu, the great scholar of the Li family in Shimen, are particularly sharp.
The scenery is picturesque and the banquet is enjoyable.
But as servants from various families kept coming in and whispering, the atmosphere gradually changed.
Li Zhengshu, who was extremely skilled in nourishing qi, suddenly lost his consciousness for a moment.
Qing Xi's cloudy old eyes suddenly shone brightly, making it so bright that people couldn't look into them.
As the highest-status figures in the room, their gaffe was immediately noticed by everyone.
Only Chong Xuan Sheng himself continued to talk and laugh as usual.
Xu put it outside Qingshi Palace to plead guilty.
Many people don't understand the significance of this.
In the twenty-eighth year of Yuanfeng, that is, the 3892nd year of the Dao calendar.
Xu Dazhao scolded Jiang Wuliang, the then crown prince of Qi. The most sinister sentence he said was: "It is so important to live in the country, but one's shoulders cannot carry a feather. To be in the most important position in the world, one's heart cannot bear a single thing. Since he is pious and sincere, Buddha, why don’t you green the lamp in this life?”
Jiang Wuliang was close to the Buddhist family and devoted himself to Buddhism. This was also something that Emperor Qi deeply disliked.
Xu Fang's scolding was regarded as a rising tide, setting off a mighty crusade against Jiang Wuliang from both the government and the public.
After the scolding, memorials of condemnation rained down from all over the country.
Jiang Wuliang only lasted for one year, and was deposed in the 29th year of Yuanfeng.
However, today Xu Fang said that what he scolded that day was all nonsense, "distorted and shameless words, and slandering the dignity of a benevolent person."
He spits on himself and says he is spitting shit.
When his whole family died, he only said, "Thunder punishes evildoers, and tortures evil intestines." He regarded it as his own karma, and he deserved what he deserved.
What is he going to do?
At least it's obvious at first glance.
He wanted to use his body and life to rectify the name of the deposed prince!
However, is this name so easy to correct?
What was the background of Jiang Wuliang's deposition?
Five years before he was deposed, there was a major event in the Eastern Region that affected the world.
That is, the twenty-fourth year of Yuanfeng in the Qi calendar and the third eight and eighty-eighth year of the Dao calendar. In this year, a battle took place between Qi and Xia to determine the dominance of the Eastern Region.
The final winner of this war was the Qi State. The Xia State was pushed back to the southern region. For the next thirty years, it never looked northeast again.
Chongxuan Chu Liang was also famous for his battle here and achieved the power of ferocious slaughter.
However, before this war began, Jiang Wuliang was the most determined advocate for peace. He took the initiative to preside over the negotiations with Xia State, and the two sides divided the Eastern Territory equally. His political views were based on the internal instability of the Qi State at that time, and he advocated recuperating and recuperating before attacking with virtue. Of course there is no need to say this again.
Today's Emperor Qi is a monarch who compares himself to Emperor Wu of Qi. He is determined to fight and no one can save him. Prince Jiang Wuliang took the lead in dissuading him, so he immediately banned Jiang Wuliang from speaking out. This incident also announced the overall failure of the Lord Peace Sect at that time.
Then in the battle between Qi and Xia, Qi won a complete victory and established its power as the hegemon in the Eastern Region.
Emperor Qi proved his prowess, and accordingly, Prince Jiang Wuliang proved his cowardice and incompetence.
After the war, Jiang Wuliang struggled to be the prince for five years, until the madman Xu Fang scolded him, and people from all over the country attacked him. After that, the East Palace was deposed.
…
Xu Fang said that he was wrong in scolding him and that he was deceived, which is equivalent to saying that Jiang Wuliang was right back then. Jiang Wuliang was destroyed by conspiracy and political disputes, not by lack of talent or morality.
So, who is at fault?
And how big of an impact does this have?
It's big when you say it's big, it's small when you say it's small.
It is said to be small because a mere release cannot change Jiang Wuliang's situation at all. It poses no threat to Jiang Wuhua's position as crown prince and has almost no impact on Qi's political situation - even if Xu Fang's gesture is so tragic.
It is said to be big because it indicates that there may be a force trying to overturn Jiang Wuliang's situation. Clearing away the old reputation is probably just the first step in the trial.
And Xu Fang, who has disappeared for many years, is the chess piece that tests the reactions of all parties.
On a more serious note, this would most likely offend Emperor Qi.
In the twenty-ninth year of Yuanfeng, Jiang Wuliang was deposed. At the same time, what happened was that the Buddhist Kurong Temple in the Eastern Region, which was once second only to the Xuankong Temple, was razed by Emperor Qi's order.
In the thirty-fifth year of Yuanfeng, Jiang Wuliang secretly complained against his father. Emperor Qi killed seventeen ministers who interceded for Jiang Wuliang in one go, and imprisoned Jiang Wuliang in the Bluestone Palace, letting him die of old age. .
Almost everyone knew that Emperor Qi was disappointed and disgusted with his eldest son.
So where does this force that is trying to make a comeback for Jiang Wuliang come from?
If we dig up Xu Fang carefully, we will naturally find out what happened to his family when they were forced to death eighteen years ago.
Old rivals of the Jubao Chamber of Commerce such as Qingxi naturally knew how the Jubao Chamber of Commerce forced Xu Fang's family to death.
In fact, Xu Fang became disgusted with Jubao Chamber of Commerce only because of the evidence he found.
Qing Xi knew one detail in particular. The Jubao Chamber of Commerce back then had some dealings with Jiang Wuliang. Su She used extremely keen eyesight to complete the cutting in time before Jiang Wuliang collapsed, thus avoiding subsequent cleaning.
Jubao Chamber of Commerce will take revenge and force Xu Fang's family to death. This matter can be big or small.
How small can this thing be?
The whole Xu family died. Xu Fang, who was once famous in Linzi, had his Taoist heart broken and his cultivation ruined. He was living on the streets, and his life was worse than death for eighteen years... No one cared about him!
And how big can this thing get?
Xu Fang, who was the vanguard of the attack on Jiang Wuliang, was brutally retaliated against after Jiang Wuliang was imprisoned in the Bluestone Palace for a year. Is there any connection between this?
In particular, Xu Fang disappeared for many years, and when he appeared, he had his liver and gallbladder cut open to prove his true intentions.
If you connect all of this, it is easy to feel that there is an invisible hand, forcing Xu Fang to lower his head, forcing Xu Fang to change his stance with extremely cruel means.
No matter who is the owner behind this hand, is it Jiang Wuliang himself or those who want to trample Jiang Wuliang to death.
But the hand itself can undoubtedly be equated to the Jubao Chamber of Commerce.
Regardless of whether the existence behind it can be found out or not, it will be difficult to keep this hand.
It can be said that the Jubao Chamber of Commerce at this time has been pushed to the edge of the cliff!
Does this matter have anything to do with Chong Xuan Sheng?
Others may not be able to tell, and there is no evidence at all. But for Li Zhengshu, who saw Chongxuansheng's prelude to the imperial match with his own eyes, and for Qingxi, who had a deep understanding of and paid close attention to Chongxuansheng since the tragic defeat in Yangdi, they naturally had their own judgments in their hearts.
This Zhongxuan Sheng, he not only wants to show off the Jubao Chamber of Commerce, but also wants to crush the entire Jubao Chamber of Commerce with one slap!
That's why people like Li Zhengshu and Qing Xi are so moved!
And everyone who appeared in Xiashan Villa today was testifying for Chongxuan Sheng, proving that he was not involved in the matter.
Thinking of this and looking at Zhong Xuan Mingguang's beaming face on the main seat, he felt very pitiful.
…
"Master Sheng!"
However, everyone saw the dignified leader of the Four Seas Merchant Alliance standing up tremblingly, raising his wine glass, and toasting Zhongxuan Sheng!
Chongxuan Mingguang, whose face had been glowing red all the time, realized something was wrong at this moment.
I only heard Qing Xi say in public: "I am not strict in controlling my subordinates, and many of the people below have been offended in the Yang Domain. Fortunately, Master Sheng has disciplined me, and I have been able to rein in the situation. Master Sheng ignored the past grudges and invited me to see the scenery. I am filled with emotion! I still hope. Let’s cooperate more in the future!”
After saying that, he drank it all first.
Chong Xuan Sheng hurriedly stood up and said repeatedly: "Mr. Qing, sir, the younger generation will be grateful!"
After saying that, he drank three drinks in a row, and then said: "As for cooperation... it's easy to talk about!"
On the main seat, Zhongxuan Mingguang's heart became more and more tense. What he saw in front of him was still the beautiful scenery of maple clouds and dusk.
Look at the mountains, clouds, and sky, all red, and suddenly I feel like they are stained with blood!
