"It is said that the twentieth generation of Celestial Master Fude Zhenjun was a great wise man and the only cultivator among the modern Celestial Masters who ascended immediately. He became a legend in the previous dynasties and even in modern times. But it is regrettable What's more, I have never met a certain family in my life!" Shen Gongxi was obviously regretful, and he had obviously heard about it for a long time.
"I have met this True Lord Fude. When Yang Wu was in power, he was still active in the Longhu Mountain area. It is said that he later lived to be more than a hundred years old. It seems that it is because of his existence that I, It made the Tianshi Mansion famous and made the Tianshi Mansion in Jinling City popular." Shen Yanran spoke in an astonishing tone as she revealed the secrets of that year.
"A certain family has heard about this. Zhang Bingyi, the 21st Celestial Master, is the eldest son of Zhenjun Fude. It is said that his eyes have been like lightning since he was a child, and he can see things at night as if they were in the daytime. When he was young, he traveled around the world with a sword. , was respected by the world. On the contrary, after he became the Heavenly Master, he disappeared in obscurity." With caution, Shen Gongxi looked at Shen Yanran and said lightly: "Whether Zhang Bingyi is really low-key, or he is It was done on purpose, but no one from the Tianshi Mansion came out to publicize it, which made the Tianshi Mansion in Jinling City even more mysterious."
"Maybe!" Shen Yanran, with a calm expression, put away her aura at this time and looked at the entrance of Xiaoyao Palace: "It is said that Li Hongyi was close to Tianshi Dao. When he was a prince, he once dreamed of Zhang The statue of Bingyi. After becoming the prince, Li Jing personally sent people to Longhu Mountain to confer the title!"
"I know about this. Li Jing was trying to build momentum for Li Hongyi, but Zhang Bingyi didn't show up in the end. If it weren't for the Tianshi Mansion, no one would have acknowledged that he had become an immortal. Some even thought that he had ascended." Shen Gongxi suddenly frowned: "Is this how the disaster was laid?"
"It's hard to say whether it is the cause of the disaster, but Zhang Bingyi's inaction and desire have also made the Tianshi Mansion less motivated to let secular people push themselves to the altar. Therefore, now the Tianshi Tao in Jinling City is not as good as Xiaoyao The momentum of the faction is naturally reasonable. He kept his promise that day, which can be regarded as serious!" With a bit of indifference, but there is still a bit of reminiscence in Shen Yanran's eyes.
"Now that Li Hongyi has been deposed, it is said that he was still the king of Wu. When he was the governor of Hongzhou, he also vigorously developed the navy of Poyang Lake. Later, because of the well-known uncle-nephew dispute, the emperor's brother The King of Qi, Li Jing, became an abandoned son and was sent to Hongzhou as the Governor. He was changed to King of Jin, Taiwei, and Shangshu Ling. This Li Jing can be considered to have some scheming. Is it related to this sect?" Shen Gong thought with joy. Looking at the gate of Xiaoyao Palace, he suddenly considered the purpose of his visit this time and said it again.
The magnanimous Emperor Taidi continued to implement Prince Hongyi's strategy and managed Poyang Lake even more impressively. But the good times did not last long. Some people said that the prince Hongyi made the emperor unhappy because of his ambition to make progress, and he had great thoughts of abolishing the throne.
As a result, someone said that Prince Hongyi bribed Yuan Congfan, the governor of the inner city, and poisoned the emperor's brother's drinking water, which led to the biggest tragedy in the Southern Tang Dynasty on the second day of August last year. The former emperor's brother Li Jingsui was actually killed. People were poisoned to death.
In any case, Li Jingsui died. Some people said that the prince was worried that he would fall out of favor. In addition, some people began to say that they wanted to usurp the crown prince's position, so they drove the crown prince to Hongzhou. Now because the prince himself was scolded by the emperor, some people even spread rumors that the prince Hongyi took the opportunity to kill the emperor's younger brother.
In this complicated palace battle, the people can only speculate and speculate after dinner. Only the parties involved know who is right and who is wrong or what happened. However, both the crown prince and the crown prince left political achievements in Poyang Lake. This is an indisputable fact.
Now the emperor's brother has returned to the West, and the prince also killed many generals of the Wuyue Kingdom due to disputes between the two countries when he later moved to control Runzhou. The emperor thought that the prince was arbitrary and killed him, and there were rumors outside the palace that the emperor's brother was The death was related to the prince, and now the prince Hongyi is also being detained.
No one knows how it will end, but the local people understand it. Whether it is the emperor's younger brother or the prince Hongyi, they are all descendants of the Li family of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Some people say that they want to make the country stronger, so they strongly recommend the development of the navy in Poyang Lake.
No matter what the truth is, it turned out that Prince Hongyi’s original approach was right, because the Zhou Kingdom invaded several times in the past two years. It was because of the natural barrier of the Yangtze River and the power of the navy stationed on the river that the Zhou Kingdom Abandoned the southern crime. Most of these naval forces are soldiers trained from Poyang Lake.
Nowadays, there are legends among the people. It is said that the emperor had to lower the state system of Tang State because he was suppressed too hard by Zhou State. He also sent letters to Zhou State several times, saying that he would pass the throne to Crown Prince Hongyi. But it is said that Guo Rong, the king of Zhou, was very polite and said that the emperor was kind and generous and there was no need to wait like this.
With a slap in the face and a sweet date, Zhou Guo coaxed the Jinling court like a child. After several conquests before, all the state capitals in Jiangbei were captured, but now he barely even pointed at his nose and scolded Sun Tzu. The emperor understood it better than anyone else, but he couldn't stand up for some reason.
The original Southern Tang Kingdom was second only to the Central Plains among the Central Plains countries, and it was also the most powerful separatist country among the southern countries. To say that Emperor Li Jing is not tough, he first conquered the country of Fujian and then swept through the Chu land where Ma Chu was in power. The fact that the Tang state was mixed in with the southern states was a sign of one-sidedness.
Now it's better. First, when being coerced by Zhou State, Wu Yueguo took the opportunity to take a bite on the edge and seized one-third of the original territory of Fujian near the sea. Although the team led by Prince Hongyi was victorious, more than 10,000 Wuyue soldiers were killed in Runzhou, and dozens of Wuyue generals were killed, which greatly damaged Wuyue's combat power.
However, immediately afterwards the Tang State lost the territory of more than ten states in the north of the Yangtze River, and then the emperor personally surrendered to the Zhou State, saying that the level of the Tang State had been lowered, and he considered himself to be just a separate vassal town, and even the emperor did not dare to call himself an emperor. .
Although who becomes the emperor has little to do with the people, as people and literati in the Southern Tang Dynasty, they still feel humiliated in their hearts. But the emperor doesn't care, so why are these ordinary people worried?
It is said that the emperor wanted to move the capital south from Jinling in case Jinling, which was only across the river, was unsafe. This is understandable, because if you are used to enjoying wealth and wealth, everyone will be afraid of death and want to live a few more years. It is said that the intention to move the capital south is well-founded, and the chosen location is Hongzhou.
