After returning to the palace, Mu Sheng was upset about Hua Zilan's departure. He strolled to the front of the Four Seas Guiyi Hall, looked at the lofty emperor's throne, and slowly climbed up the jade steps to the throne and caressed it slowly. The complicated carvings on the throne represent the seat of supreme authority.
For a moment, he had an illusion, as if he was really the Supreme Son. His thoughts went back to the beginning of the curtain, when he had just come to this strange world. He looked around at a loss, not knowing where to go. He looked at the throne and moved to sit on it. The throne that countless people dreamed of, he sighed secretly in his heart, becoming the supreme son, it seemed that he gained a lot, but also lost a lot at the same time.
Mu Sheng thought of Hua Zilan's life experience and the revival meeting behind it. He turned to the inner court manager who was following him and said, "Yang Jin, go and summon Fang Yunyi to Jianzhang Palace. I have something to ask."
Upon hearing this, Yang Jin immediately agreed to deliver the edict.
In the Jianzhang Palace, the Four Seas Gather One Hall, Fang Yunyi came at the call. The emperor stood alone on the jade platform, as if thinking about something. Fang Yunyi stepped forward and bowed and said: "My lord, long live my emperor. "
Mu Sheng raised his head, waved his hand and said, "Excuse me, I have something to ask you. Do you know the details of the Renaissance Society? I heard that you Bai Shou has had a lot of dealings with the Renaissance Society."
After hearing this, Fang Yunyi nodded and said: "Your Majesty, it is indeed true. Ordinary members of the Revival Society are mainly handled by the Tsing Yi Envoy. Unless it involves monks within the Renaissance Society, we Baishou will take action."
Fang Yunyi continued to report: "According to my understanding, the Renaissance Society was an organization that emerged after the Unification War. Various countries used the slogan of restoring the country and the country. After the fall of the Seven Kingdoms of Kanto, many old people and children who were unwilling to lose their country joined this organization. Organization, there are many descendants of powerful people from the previous dynasty who have joined it."
"The Renaissance Society vigorously rectified it during the reign of the late emperor. The Renaissance societies in many places were destroyed one after another. Countless people, old and young, were implicated and broke up their families and destroyed their families. Most of them disappeared, leaving only the remnants of the Renaissance Society. They are all well-organized underground gangs with a large scale. It is difficult for us to catch their traces and it is extremely difficult to penetrate them."
"Occasionally, it is difficult for us to capture members of the Renaissance Society who are exposed. If they cannot escape, they will take poison and commit suicide. Each of them has a single line of contact. If a member is caught, he will disappear soon after being online. This has a negative impact on our case handling. It is extremely difficult to directly destroy their entire organization."
"In the past, our Tsing Yi envoys could rely on undercover agents to sneak into their ranks and completely destroy them. Now these underground gangs under the banner of the Renaissance Society basically do not recruit new members. They are much lower-key than in the past, and there are many fewer activities targeting the imperial court. Lord Procurator Bian believes that the current revival meeting is nothing to worry about."
Mu Sheng nodded when he heard the words. He was moved in his mind and asked: "Well, I remember that when the late emperor was still alive, a very serious thing happened in Yue County, involving the rebellion of the remnants of the Renaissance Society. I heard that it seems that there has been a long time ago within the Qing Yi Envoy. After knowing about this incident, I went to Xiang County to investigate the truth soon after it happened. How did you know about it in advance?"
Fang Yunyi said: "Your Majesty, in fact, the source of our intelligence was deliberately revealed to us by the Renaissance Society."
Mu Shengqi asked: "Will they still be so constraining each other within the Renaissance Association?"
After hearing this, Fang Yunyi nodded and said: "It is true. The Renaissance Society is actually just a unified name. The actual situation is that the old and young of the seven countries are all doing their own things. For example, the Renaissance Society of Chen State will only attract Chen people to join, and the Renaissance of Yue State will Only Yue people joined the meeting, and there were seven revival meetings in the seven vassal states that belonged to different families."
"The Seven Kingdoms Renaissance Association is very independent of each other. Occasionally, they will undermine each other and take the initiative to disclose information to the court and use the power of the court to suppress their opponents. That Yue County incident was the people behind the Lu Kingdom Renaissance Association and the Yue Kingdom Renaissance Association. The person who planned it and reported them was the Yu State Renaissance Association. In that operation, the Lu State Renaissance Association was hit by our Qingyi envoys, and many people died. It is difficult for the Lu State Renaissance Association to make big moves in a short period of time."
Mu Sheng's head hurt when he heard this. This group of people really failed in many things and failed in many things. They didn't act in a unified manner and even undermined each other. This made him feel relieved.
Sure enough, if you sit in this position, your butt will determine your head. He doesn't want someone to always come out to cause trouble under his management. Everything should be based on stability.
Mu Sheng remembered another thing and asked: "By the way Yunyi, I have one more thing to ask. Why did our Jin country send a hundred thousand troops to destroy the Yunhua Sect back then?"
Fang Yunyi hesitated when he heard the words and said: "Your Majesty, I only heard that it seemed to be related to the assassination of our ancestor King Wu of the Jin Kingdom. I don't know the rest. When the Jin army besieged Yunhua Zong, Wei Chenxiu As a humble person, I am not qualified to participate in this matter. I don’t know the details, but Your Majesty, you can ask the three elders for advice. The three elders have all participated in the battle to annihilate the Yunhua Sect."
Mu Sheng originally wanted to summon the Three Marquises of Baishou directly, but after thinking about it, since he was asking for advice, he might as well pay a visit to the three Marquiss in person to show respect. Anyway, Baishou was not far next door.
Mu Sheng said: "Yunyi, I'm going to Wenshan Pavilion to pay a personal visit. Which of your elders is in charge now?"
Fang Yunyi said: "Your Majesty, Marquis Zhang is in charge of Wenshan Pavilion now."
Mu Sheng said: "Okay, you will lead the way. I'll go to Baishou as Mr. Jiang, so as not to disturb you on your errands."
Fang Yunyi left as ordered.
The two of them left the palace and went all the way to Baishou Station. They came to the central attic of the entire Baishou Department. The two passed through the porch in front of the attic. Mu Sheng clearly felt as if they had passed through an invisible barrier. Fang Yunyi guided Mu Sheng climbed up to the attic and reached the third floor. Fang Yunyi hurried forward and gently opened the wooden door, as if he was afraid of disturbing the people inside.
Mu Sheng entered the attic and saw that the decoration in the top-floor attic was simple and elegant, with quite an artistic conception. Duan Gui, one of the three princes, was sitting upright on the futon. It seemed that he had just finished his meditation practice. He did not look too embarrassed to see the emperor's visit. Accident.
Duan Gui stood up and bowed slightly, saying, "I didn't know that your Majesty is coming to visit. I am not expecting you to come from afar."
Mu Sheng smiled and returned the greeting: "Mr. Duan, you are so polite. You are a senior. I have something to ask your senior for advice today, so I came to visit you rashly. I also asked Mr. Duan to give me some advice."
The two of them sat opposite each other, and Duan Gui said: "Your Majesty, if you have any questions, just ask me. I will tell you everything I know."
Mu Sheng asked: "Mr. Duan, I have something to ask you. I want to know why our country of Jin wanted to completely annihilate the Yunhua Sect back then? I heard that, Mr. Duan, you were the one who experienced it?"
When Duan Gui heard this, his face showed a look of vicissitudes of life, as if some old events in his memory were resurfacing one after another.
Duan Gui said: "Your Majesty, it's a long story."
Mu Sheng bowed and said, "Junior, I am all ears!"
Duan Gui is still very satisfied with the new king's attitude towards him. Dynasties rise and fall, things and people change. Duan Gui, as the oldest veteran-level Baishou monk, is not even a veteran of several dynasties, and has already experienced it. The twelfth generation of Jin kings had already experienced all the vicissitudes of life and looked at the situation with a smile.
Duan Gui said in a slow tone: "This matter can be traced back to the reign of our ancestor King Wu of Jin Kingdom."
Mu Sheng said: "That is my great-grandfather, the First Emperor?"
Duan Gui nodded slightly and said: "Yes, he is your Majesty's great-grandfather. At that time, our Jin country was strong and powerful, and the Jin army was invincible. The late king Wu sent General Cheng Qi to command an army of 400,000 and destroyed the Song Dynasty in one fell swoop. At that time, the countries in Guandong heard that When the Song Dynasty was destroyed, they were very panicked. Later, they sent envoys to recommend my lord as the emperor, and forced Yuzi, the former leader of the Communist Party of China, to offer the nine tripods and enthrone my lord to the throne."
"Later, in order to prevent the former monarch from launching a war of annihilation and annexing the country, the Guandong countries sent an assassin named Zang Changwei to disguise himself as a messenger and kill the monarch in the palace. The former monarch was assassinated and was seriously injured. He died soon after. Our country of Jin was in great pain. Without the wise master, the Guandong kingdoms have indeed achieved their goals, which in turn has delayed the pace of our unification of the Jin Kingdom."
At this point, Duan Gui sighed: "If it were not for the assassination of our ancestor King Wu, our Jin country would have completed the great cause of unifying China at least forty years ago."
Mu Sheng knew clearly that Duan Gui must have meant something when he mentioned this past event, and asked: "Senior Duan, this junior boldly speculates that the Yunhua Sect was wiped out and you mentioned this matter?"
Mr. Duan nodded and said: "Well, Your Majesty guessed it right. The assassin named Zang Changwei was an inner disciple of the Yunhua Sect. He was originally a master-level cultivator. I don't know what means the Yunhua Sect used to completely remove his monk aura. He concealed himself and successfully deceived the palace guards, which led to the assassination of the former lord. At that time, I had no time to go to the palace to help. From then on, whenever envoys from the Kanto countries came to visit, I would personally sit on the spot to ensure that Guarantee the safety of our lord. Later, our Jin State’s undercover investigation in the Chen State revealed that Yunhua Zong was commissioned by King Chen to send Zang Changwei to assassinate our lord. Until the late emperor came to power, the Jin army completely destroyed the Chen State, except for the elimination of the Chen State clan. To avoid future troubles, the first thing to do is to liquidate the Yunhua Sect."
Duan Gui finished speaking, and after a long while, he sighed and said: "The battle to annihilate the Yunhua Sect was fierce. Our army first set fire to the mountain, forcing all the Yunhua Sect members to come out of the mountain to fight decisively with us. I, my junior brother Zhou Ren, Xue Changqing, and many other Four Phases Guiyi Realm monks who had been bribed by Jin State all took action to hold back the same-level monks of Yunhua Sect. The army was following up to annihilate the middle and low-level monks of Yunhua Sect. Yunhua The seven old monsters of the Four-in-One Realm were traumatized when they saw their relatives and nephews being wantonly slaughtered. They were quickly killed by us one by one, and they all fell on the spot. In this battle, the number one in the Central Plains that had been passed down for thousands of years was destroyed. Sect, from now on there is no more Yunhua Sect in the world of monks."
After listening to Duan Gui's story, Mu Sheng's heart agitated. He didn't know how tragic the battle was. He sighed: "If the Yunhua Sect had not participated in the assassination, they might not have ended up destroying the sect. They were the ones who broke the rules first. In the world of political struggles and national hegemony, monks can be loyal to their country on the battlefield, but they must not use dirty means to assassinate the king. This is Yunhua Sect's self-destruction, and there is nothing wrong with it. It’s okay.”
Duan Gui said: "Your Majesty, I didn't expect that Yun Hua Zong would make such a stupid move at that time. Even if we were completely on the side of the Guandong countries and acted in such a despicable way, our Jin country would not take it lightly." Got them."
In fact, after the Jin State destroyed the Chen State, it not only retaliated against the Yunhua Sect, but also the Chen royal family was implicated. Tens of thousands of Chen royal family members, including the last King Chen, were also massacred by the Jin army. It was the third Guandong princes to perish after Song and Zheng. In order to better control the newly conquered areas, they changed their policy of preferential treatment to the royal families of various countries and directly killed all the Chen royal family.
Mu Sheng nodded and agreed with Duan Gui's method. After he got the answer he wanted, he stood up and said goodbye: "Thank you, senior, for clearing up the confusion."
Duan Gui nodded and said, "Your Majesty, you're welcome."
Fang Yunyi had been standing guard in the yard. When she saw Mu Sheng coming out, she stepped forward and said, "Did your Majesty get the answer you wanted?"
Mu Sheng said with emotion: "Well, Mr. Duan is indeed the true elder of our Jin Dynasty, a living history..."
