Zongwu: I, the strongest alchemist, the auction of the heavens

Chapter 230 Take a long-term view

And the people of the Song Dynasty.

I also have many complaints about this.

……

Bianjing.

The bustling Fanlou in the past.

It’s extremely deserted now.

Even the bustling Hongqiao.

There were only a few people bustling around.

Countless people in Bianliang were sitting at home sighing with sad faces.

"Oh!~"

When the news came out that the Song Dynasty was going to establish a dynasty of destiny.

The people of Bianjing.

Everyone is happy.

Although Daqin is a bit far away from Dasong.

But the Ming Dynasty was actually adjacent to the Song Dynasty.

So the Ming Dynasty changed.

The people saw it clearly.

Not to mention.

Most of the people in Bianliang were peddlers who came here from all over to make a living.

among them.

There are many relatives who have to move because of marriage.

After feeling the changes in the people around me more intuitively.

Naturally, the people are looking forward to the establishment of the Qiyun Dynasty.

but.

How big the expectations are.

How deep the disappointment is.

Not to mention after learning the reason for the failure.

They were even more angry in their hearts.

"Those damn corrupt officials usually bully the people in our community, and now because of them, our good life has been cut off."

"I think it would be a good thing for such people to die under the punishment of God."

"They should be cut into pieces!"

This kind of words.

But only a day or two.

It has already filled the hearts of all the people.

They didn't dare to go out and say it.

I can only curse myself behind closed doors.

But this doesn't make me feel relieved.

It only made the people feel more unhappy.

Soon other voices emerged.

"If the government had not been so foolish and appointed treacherous officials, the Song Dynasty would not have fallen into the current state!"

"It is because the government is incompetent that the people suffer!"

"The Emperor has to bear a great responsibility for the failure of the Song Dynasty to establish a dynasty of destiny!"

"Please issue an edict of apology!"

This voice soon spread throughout Bianjing and beyond.

It's even becoming more and more popular.

There is a vague tendency for it to spread to the entire Song Dynasty.

to this end.

Zhuge Zhengwo rushed back overnight and quickly mobilized the forces of the Six Gates left in Bianliang.

Soon the Six Gates found out who was taking advantage of the situation, and punished them severely as a warning to others.

But that's the case.

It also made many people see the joke of the court again.

……

In a dilapidated temple outside Bianjing.

Three or five beggars gathered together.

They sat around the fire.

A delicious roast chicken was roasting on the fire.

They also held fine wine in their hands.

"Hahaha!"

"The imperial court has lost face this time!"

"But in my opinion, the old emperor really has no idea at all."

"He doesn't even look at the kind of people he employs, and yet he still thinks he's a wise ruler?"

"I bother!"

A beggar was so excited that he spat heavily on the ground.

Others echoed.

"Yeah yeah!"

"The old emperor is incompetent, and those treacherous villains are all flatterers of the superiors and bullies the subordinates."

"That's all right."

"The imperial court has lost all its dignity and prestige."

"I see."

"I'm afraid the imperial court will no longer have the face to care about the affairs of our martial arts world!"

"That's not necessarily true. The Six Gates have always been nosy."

"He uses chicken feathers as a token of authority every day."

"I don't know what's so foreign about it."

The Beggars' Sect has been under siege since Qiao Feng left.

Most of the power fell into Quan Guanqing's hands.

Quan Guanqing pushed those who were on good terms with Qiao Feng to the margins without leaving any trace.

And these disciples who followed him.

Naturally, he had no good feelings towards the Six Gates, which were close to Qiao Feng.

At this time, mention the Six Doors.

They also showed some contempt on their faces. "What is the Six Gates?"

"The old emperor has lost so much face this time. If they really meddle in other people's business, we will spread these things throughout the Song Dynasty."

"I'd like to take a look."

"Under this situation, do the Six Gates have the guts to come and meddle with us again?"

"Alright haha! This is a good rest!"

“That’s what we’ll do from now on!”

"Let those people in the imperial court know that we, the people of Jianghu, are not to be trifled with!"

"Yeah."

There were voices of agreement.

It was their most blatant mockery of the imperial court.

……

at the same time.

In the largest brothel in Bianjing City.

Liu Suifeng smiled and took a sip of wine while holding the beauty in his arms.

Then, he laughed happily.

"Hahaha."

“It’s really interesting.”

In the wing room.

Li Chenzhou poured wine alone and leaned lazily.

After listening to Liu Suifeng's laughter, he slowly spoke.

"Liu Xiaowu, you haven't laughed enough."

Upon hearing this, Liu Suifeng raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Li Chenzhou with teasing in his eyes.

"Have you laughed enough these days?"

Li Chenzhou shook his head.

"Of course not."

"Emperor Song has lost so much face this time. I'm afraid even a few days, let alone a few months, won't be enough."

Upon hearing this, Liu Suifeng rolled his eyes at him.

"That's it."

"We came to Bianjing this time for other things, but we didn't expect to see such a big joke on the spot."

"If we had known this earlier, we should have taken action first."

Li Chenzhou played with the wine glass in his hand without making any comment.

Seeing this, Liu Suifeng immediately started to yell in dissatisfaction.

"Isn't what I said right?"

Li Chenzhou just smiled.

"Correct."

"That's not right either."

After saying this, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass before continuing.

"We have completely lost an opportunity."

As soon as this sentence came out.

The smile on Liu Suifeng's face.

It also disappeared immediately.

Then he said, "Opportunities always come to those who are prepared."

"The current situation is unclear, and we may not really have lost this opportunity."

Li Chenzhou just sighed.

"We have definitely lost."

"You can't help but feel it."

“Some things have changed.”

Liu Suifeng looked into Li Chenzhou's eyes and just said.

"so what?"

"This variable is our biggest variable."

Li Chenzhou finished saying this.

And he said no more.

Deathly silence suddenly spread.

Li Chenzhou was still playing with the wine glass in his hand, but his eyes were looking towards the direction of the imperial palace.

After a long while, he finally let out a long breath.

In March, Song was destroyed.

What a great plan.

But it was aborted just when it was just beginning.

If.

In the previous Song Dynasty, perhaps they still had a chance.

just now.

They don't have any chance.

Because of the court’s failure.

It does not mean the failure of the Song Dynasty.

The Emperor of Song is fine.

Zhuge Zhengwo, Qiao Feng and others were even blessed.

In this situation.

It means.

Even if the Mandate of Heaven is no longer with the Emperor of Song, it is still with the Song Dynasty.

they.

The opportunity has been completely lost.

Li Chenzhou thought of this.

He raised his head again and drank a full glass.

"That's all."

"Since this road is blocked."

"Perhaps it would be better to follow fate."

"Even though Xiangyang has been defended, it is not just one place."

"We should take a longer-term view."
