At the foot of Jinhua Mountain, a black carriage, escorted by more than a dozen red-clad and golden-armored Qianniu Guards, slowly drove towards the mountain.
Li Xuan looked up through the car curtain and saw green mountains, high rocks, dense forests, mountains, and white clouds.
Very high up, a majestic Taoist temple stands on the top of the peak.
"Akasatsukan!"
Li Xuan turned around, looked at the other person sitting in the carriage, and said calmly: "Zhang Canjun, I never thought that Inspector Wang would be recuperating in Jinhua Mountain. It is difficult for me to still worry about Inspector Wang's safety. It turns out that everything It’s all my worries that are unfounded.”
When he was in Zhouya, Zhang Yi once said that Wang Fanglin, the governor, was recuperating in Guanzhuang on the bank of Wujiang River in the western suburbs of the city. But when he really left the city, he told Li Xuan that Wang Fanglin was actually in Chisong, Jinhua Mountain, in the north of the city. Watch and recuperate.
"There is nothing the Governor can do to arrange this. The city is noisy and it is difficult to rest. In addition, people come and go, and people with intentions will inevitably take advantage of it. Therefore, we can only leave the city and go out. After leaving the city, we can rest safely. There are only two places, one is the Stone Buddha Temple in the east of the city, and the other is the Chisong Temple here."
Zhang Yi looked a little ashamed and said, "If I could have found out the loopholes in the city earlier, I might not have been able to help the Tianyin Sect gangsters become so rampant."
Although Zhang Yi was not the last to know about what happened last night, it was only after everything had settled.
After meeting Li Xuan, Li Xuan just briefly explained the reason, and Zhang Yi was very sensible and stopped asking questions.
As for what he was thinking in his heart, Li Xuan didn't know.
The real reason why Wuzhou has been arresting Tianyin cult bandits over and over again has always been in vain. The real reason is that there are too many Tianyin cultists among Wuzhou's soldiers and police officers.
They may not have been directly involved in the assassination, but after the assassination, they must have given the assassins a wide berth, allowing them to escape smoothly.
For such a thing, there must be someone among the top officials of Wuzhou Prefectural Government to cover it up.
Sima Qin Ming, and Zhang Yi, who joined the army as a recorder, did not notice anything strange about this before Li Xuan arrived in Wuzhou.
Either they are too stupid, or one of them has already discovered it and did nothing, or even covered it up.
What his heart is like is clearly visible.
After Li Xuan arrived in Wuzhou, she didn't hesitate at all.
With the first move, he resolutely eliminated all Tianyin believers from Wuzhou's military service.
After mastering the military power and city defense, Li Xuan truly controlled the entire Wuzhou.
At night, they can sleep peacefully.
"The prince said yesterday that today he would first check the files and documents of each Cao Cao, and then visit the Governor Wang. Moreover, so many things happened last night, and it was necessary to deal with the follow-up. In this way, all the people in the state Yamen were left behind and directly Wouldn't it seem inappropriate to come to visit Governor Wang?" Zhang Yi looked at Li Xuan uneasily.
Li Xuan obviously trapped everyone in the state government in the state city in disguise, but he took this opportunity to visit Wang Fanglin.
Here, people's hearts are shaken repeatedly, and most people really can't react.
"Actually, what I did last night is just the beginning. There is still a long way to go before we can truly stabilize Wuzhou. Nowadays, if we want to achieve our goals quickly, it is inevitable to use some small means that ordinary people can't think of. ." Li Xuan's eyes fell on Zhang Yi vaguely, and then sighed: "The most important thing is that the summer harvest is about to begin, and I don't have much time to wait."
"Yeah, not much more." Zhang Yi couldn't help but nodded in agreement, his brows furrowed fiercely, and the worry on his face was clearly visible.
Everyone knew that the Tianyin Sect would start an uprising after the summer harvest.
They were waiting for the government to collect summer grain into the treasury, and then launch an uprising to capture the entire Wuzhou.
In this way, everything the government did during this period was to make wedding clothes for them.
Li Xuan's eyes flashed with scrutiny. He gently tapped his knees with the fingers of his right hand and said calmly: "Let's do it step by step. First
Completely control the entire city. Only in this way, when the Tianyin Sect really makes a comeback, can we rely on the city to resist. At least it is what Governor Cui and the others did back then, stand firm and wait for reinforcements from Yangzhou. When the time comes, , the Tianyin thief's plot will be defeated. "
Today's Tianyin Sect uprising actually has a great advantage, that is, the mentality of officers and soldiers in various places is completely different from that of back then.
Back then, when the Tianyin Sect was in rebellion, most of the officials in Wuzhou City were terrified. When the Tianyin Sect's troops came to the city, most of them actually agreed to surrender in Kaicheng.
Even Cui Yixuan, the governor of Wuzhou, couldn't help but hesitate, but later he firmly supported it.
However, now, not to mention those aristocratic families, there are also a few officials in the government who are really optimistic about the Tianyin Sect's uprising.
It failed with so much momentum back then, let alone today.
Now the imperial court has prepared in every aspect for the Tianyin Sect's uprising. Once they take action rashly, what awaits them will be a thunderous blow from the imperial court.
"Actually, in the final analysis, we still don't have enough troops!" Li Xuan tapped his knees with the fingers of his right hand and said thoughtfully: "In the entire Yuezhou, since the Tianyin Sect uprising, there is still only one Zhechong Mansion troops. This is my king’s secret slander. If something happens, I’ll be in a dilemma!”
"Indeed." Zhang Yi nodded in agreement and said with a wry smile: "Yuezhou, the ancient Kuaiji, Hangzhou, the ancient Qiantang, the land of Wuyue, half of the prosperity, is in several nearby states, and the imperial court collects a large amount of money locally every year It is really puzzling for some people to restrict Wu Yue's military strength."
"Also in Suzhou, there were not many troops stationed in Wuzhong in ancient times." Li Xuan looked at the green ancient trees outside the car window, shook his head, and said, "Not to mention anything else, even if it is to release the troops of Yangzhou Zhechong Prefecture, Half of them are in Suzhou, so the situation we are waiting for will not be so difficult."
"Indeed!" Zhang Yi nodded with emotion, and then said with a sad smile: "How can we comment on such matters?"
Li Xuan raised her eyebrows slightly, feeling surprised. Zhang Yi's words revealed too much meaning intentionally or unintentionally.
However, Li Xuan did not continue at this moment, and his eyes immediately turned to the direction of Suzhou.
The imperial court did not have many troops there, but there was a King of Cao, Li Ming, who also served as the governor of Suzhou. In Yuezhou, although King Li Zhen of Yue served in another state, the palace of the King of Yue was in Yuezhou.
Now, the emperor and the queen sent him, the prince of Nanchang County, to Wuzhou. The three princes are showing their strength. Who dares to say that the court does not pay attention to Wu Yue.
However, what the imperial court really valued was not the Tianyin Sect, but the 16th Wuyue Family.
Even if the Tianyin Sect is rebellious, a mere three thousand people can cause huge waves in the entire land of Wuyue.
The one who can really threaten the foundation of Wu Yue is the 16th Wu Yue family.
In previous rebellions, the sixteenth family secretly contributed to the flames.
Among them was the Zhang family in Wuzhong, or at least some of the Zhang family members.
Unknowingly, the Taoist temple in front had arrived, the carriage stopped, and Li Xuan got out of the car first.
The Taoist greeting guest in the Taoist temple did not seem to expect that there would be a distinguished guest arriving today, so he quickly stepped forward and said, "I respect our guests, but I don't know...it turns out to be Zhang Canjun."
Li Xuan glanced sideways at Zhang Yi, then looked back at the Taoist who welcomed the guests, saluted with both hands: "Taoist Master Wuliang!"
Zhang Yi followed and saluted, then looked at Li Xuan and asked: "Your Majesty, should we go to see the temple master first, or should we go to see the governor first?".z.br>
"Let's go see the governor first," Li Xuan made the decision immediately without any hesitation.
He came here because he was worried about the long nights and dreams, and how he would delay it again.
Zhang Yi looked at the Taoist who welcomed the guests, nodded and said, "Taoist, please lead the way."
"Honored guest, please follow the path!" The Taoist greeter led the way, while Li Xuan and Zhang Yi were a few steps behind, followed by a group of Qianniu Guards.
Walking in the deep ancient temple, Li Xuan suddenly looked at Zhang Yi and asked: "By the way, how is the injury of Governor Wang after joining the army?"
Li Xuan asked casually, but his eyes were fixed on Zhang Yi.
Before Li Xuan left Luoyang, the imperial court did not have a new governor of Wuzhou, nor a long history of the new faction in Wuzhou.
Especially when the imperial court knew that although the body of the governor Wang Fanglin was seriously injured, he had recovered enough to handle the state capital, the imperial court had decided not to send any more manpower to Wuzhou.
They just sent Li Xuan, a young prince of the current dynasty.
I don’t know where the emperor and the queen came from to have such great trust in Wang Fanglin’s ability.
Li Xuan and Qiu Shenji were already the emperor, queen, and even the center, sending the final reinforcements to the southeastern states.
Before this, they had more or less arranged some secrets, but it was hard to say how effective they would be.
In the whole of Wuzhou, Wang Fanglin is the one who is really familiar with this situation.
It's okay to have him, but without him, everything would be troublesome.
"Of course the Governor is awake." Zhang Yi had a happy smile on his face.
However, opposite him, Li Xuan's face completely darkened in an instant.
"I'm just awake, nothing else?" Li Xuan stared at Zhang Yi, then asked a second question: "What about eating, drinking, talking, and even processing official documents? At this critical moment, Just being awake is not enough."
Zhang Yi's face changed slightly. He didn't expect that his words had missed the point.
Zhang Yi slowed down and said with a wry smile on his face: "The governor's diet is naturally not a problem, and he can speak without any problems. However, when he read the official document, he had an inexplicable headache. Someone needs to read the official document next to him... As for safety , Your Majesty should also understand that in today’s Chisong Temple, no one dares to do anything casually.”
Li Xuan took a deep look at Zhang Yi, and then changed the subject: "Indeed, in the realm of Chisongguan, those people from the Tianyin Sect don't dare to come easily. As long as they can arrive, reinforcements will arrive immediately. , the Taoist guardians are not so easy to offend."
"The Chisong Temple has a long history, and its foundation comes from the Chisongzi Great Immortal from the ancient times." Zhang Yi smiled, glanced at the Taoist greeting the guests in front of him, and then whispered: "The ancient times are a long time ago. The specifics are It has long been impossible to test the truth, but now it is an indisputable fact that the master of the temple, Huang Zhenren, has great magical power, and all the talents under him are also very powerful. If Wang Jishishi trains here, everyone can rest assured. "
Li Xuan nodded and calmly agreed: "Although the Tianyin Sect has the strength to rebel, it is not willing to easily provoke Taoists and Buddhists."
Chisong Temple is not well-known to the outside world. Even except for some people who are familiar with Taoist mythology, most people don't even know who Chisongzi is, let alone his inheritance.
Chisongzi, a native of Shen Nong's time, was a rain master. He took water jade and taught it to Shen Nong, so that he could be roasted in the fierce fire.
Chi Songzi often went to rest in the stone chamber left by the Queen Mother of the West on Kunlun Mountain, and could go up and down freely with the wind and rain.
Emperor Yan's youngest daughter Jingwei followed him and became an immortal and ascended to heaven.
Zhang Yi nodded in agreement, and then said: "The origin of Chisong Temple is Huang Chuping, a native of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. When he was young, he was introduced to the caves of Jinhua Mountain to practice. After forty years of hard work, he mastered the magic of turning a stone into a sheep, and achieved the power of being invisible in the sun. Later, he became a real person. It will be carried out all over the world, and the people in the southeast will be famous. The prince is going to hold a land and water ceremony to perform it. If he can invite Zhenren Huang to come, it will definitely shock Wuzhou."
Li Xuan nodded silently. The land sacrifice ceremony before the summer harvest was the most important part of his plan.
Both Buddhism and Taoism must be invited, so that the Tianyin Sect can be shaken in its fundamental beliefs.
At that time, Huang Chuping established Chisong Temple in Jinhua Mountain, respected Chisongzi and An Qisheng as the ancestors, and worshiped the Sanqing Dynasty.
The current master of Chisong Temple is a descendant of the Huang family. Li Xuan has never seen him and dare not say anything about his cultivation level.
However, his reputation for the efficacious Taoism has already spread throughout Wuzhou, and he is the leader in Wuzhou Buddhism and Taoism together with the ancient Buddhist temples.
Li Xuan's Taoist inheritance is even more clear about the strength of Taoism.
He nodded and agreed, "Indeed, Governor Wang is cultivating here, how dare the Tianyin Sect dare to come and cause trouble easily."
Although Tianyin Goddess belongs to the Tianyin Sect, she is actually passed down by a Taoist sect.
In the eyes of many believers, Tianyin Goddess is just a relatively efficacious Taoist goddess.
Once he conflicts with Chisongguan, a belief that has been passed down in Wuzhou for hundreds of years, she will definitely suffer.
"Joining the army, where do you think the killers of the Tianyin Sect are hiding now?" After a slight pause, Li Xuan asked: "You can guess whatever you want, guess whatever you want."
"If the official is asked to say it." Zhang Yi thought for a moment, and then said: "If the official is asked to say it, he must be lurking next to a certain official in the Wuzhou government office, so that he can wait for an opportunity to obtain enough useful information. Confidence, like..."
Zhang Yi suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Xuan in disbelief, but pointed his finger at himself: "Like Xianguan?"
