Martial Arts: I am in the Ming Cult and I am building a dynasty

In the court, Zhao Shirong and others were pressing forward step by step, encroaching and annexing the country.

It was perfectly normal for Liang Shicheng, Cai Jing and others to fight desperately out of desperation.

"The Caishen Anjia under Cai Jing, the dog thief, has been fully mobilized in Bianjing and the entire northern part of the Song Dynasty in cooperation with the Liufenbantang, and has been continuously blocking the expansion of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce of the Song Dynasty. Zhu Baiwan has an urgent report."

"After Jiuyou Divine Lord abandoned the dark and joined the light, Cai Jing lost control of the Song Dynasty and began to have Ling Luoshi return from the border to forcefully kill those who had wavered in the local area."

"Fu Zongshu, one of the treacherous ministers, ordered his son-in-law Gu Xichao to launch an offensive against Qi Shaoshang and others in Lianyun Village, preparing to open a path for the northern foreign tribes to move south, and use the situation to intimidate Shi Rong's sister and others."

"Liang Shicheng and Cai Jing have put aside their past grievances and have joined forces completely."

"The Imperial City Division controlled by Liang Shicheng is doing its utmost to strangle the intelligence organizations of Taizu's lineage and attack the Six Bats Hall. Gu Qianfan is reporting urgently."

"Liang Shicheng's partner, Youqiao Group, is wavering, so we may try to win over one or two of them."

"The traitor Li Yan is increasingly in contact with the King of Western Shu, Chen Zhibao. He is suspected of being in contact with Western Xia. This needs to be verified."

"Tong Guan invited Wang Chongyang of the Quanzhen Sect to come to Beijing to preach to the emperor, and he is suspected of colluding with the Jin Kingdom..."

Among the carriages.

Yang Zhao lazily lay on Yan Fei's long legs, too lazy to read the messages from the jade talismans.

Yan Fei had no choice but to let Yang Zhao take advantage of her, while she still had to worry about this little man.

Regarding the little secret in Yan Fei's heart.

Yang Zhao had some guesses, but he never forced Yan Fei. He just took it slow and treated her gently.

However, after hearing Yan Fei's reports.

Yang Zhao didn't care about taking advantage of him anymore. He frowned slightly and let out a long sigh.

After a pause, Yang Zhao said, "In Bianjing, there is also the northern part of the Song Dynasty. Cai Jing and his gang of bastards have planted so many holes that nothing can get in. There are enemies everywhere."

"Yan Fei, isn't there any good news at all?"

Yan Fei reached out and smoothed Yang Zhao's frown.

Select one or two from the jade talismans.

Yan Fei Fang said: "The situation in Bianjing and the north is indeed not very good. Zhuge Zhengwo of the Divine Marquis Mansion and the Three Supreme Divine Constables of the Six Gates have been resisting Cai Jing and others, but they have not approached Sister Shi Rong and others."

"In the martial arts world, very few people directly participate in the court struggle. Only Jinfengxiyu Tower, Lianyun Village, Xiao Qiushui and others can barely win over a few people."

After saying this, even Yan Fei herself felt a little discouraged.

The Shenhou Mansion and the Six Gates may still have some strength, but their attitude is unclear. They obviously see Zhao Shirong's ambition to dominate the court and even seize the throne, and are unwilling to get close.

As for Jinfengxiyue Tower and Lianyun Village, that's all.

In the chaotic Song Dynasty, even Xiao Qiu Shui and Li Chenzhou had not grown up yet, let alone Su Mengzhen, Bai Choufei and others.

If you want to fight against Liang Shicheng, Cai Jing and others, you have to rely on yourself in the end.

The Xiaoyao Sect, Qiao Feng, Yan Nantian and others can all be transferred to Bian Jing. With some resources and a little training, they can become high-level combat forces at the celestial level and can stand on their own.

If it really doesn't work, we can only draw personnel from the Nine Yang Guards and the Ming Cult.

However, in this sensitive area of ​​Bianjing, the Nine Yang Guards, the Ming Cult and others cannot be allowed to come in a big way, so it is just right to let Qiao Feng, Yan Nantian and others lead the way.

While Yang Zhao was thinking, the carriage was shaking and he could already see the city of Bianjing in the distance.

Different from the solemnity and majesty of Xianyang in the Qin Dynasty.

Different from the splendor and magnificence of Chang'an in the Sui Dynasty.

Different from the strong and majestic Yanjing of the Ming Dynasty.

Among the dynasties dominated by the Han people, Bianliang of the Song Dynasty was the most beautiful and prosperous capital.

There isn't much imperial majesty present, but rather the mundane atmosphere of worldly life is most evident.

But even so, the city wall of the entire Bianjing city is dozens of feet high and extremely thick. It is made entirely of seabed bluestone and iron liquid. It stretches for dozens of miles and is vast and majestic.

There are tens of millions of people living in this city of Bianjing.

In this era of extremely low productivity, such a prosperous and majestic city is rare in the world and can be called a miracle.

As my thoughts drifted, Bianliang of the Song Dynasty was getting closer and closer.

When I could see the city gate clearly, I saw a graceful and elegant woman in a green shirt, riding a white horse, standing at the city gate. She was riding towards Yang Zhao with a deep and almost tangible longing for him, regardless of her status.

The distance between them was dozens of meters.

Zhao Shirong could no longer hold back, and he activated his Qinggong skills, flew across the sky, and threw himself into Yang Zhao's arms like a tired bird returning to its nest.

"Husband, Shi Rong misses you so much..."

Throwing herself into Yang Zhao's arms, Zhao Shirong muttered to herself, tears streaming down her face involuntarily.

Yang Zhao was deeply moved, his heart was so soft, and he hugged the other person tightly.

At this time, a group of bigwigs including Xiao Qinyan and Fan Zhongyan also arrived.

Kou Zhun, the most upright among them, was about to make a direct criticism on the spot.

But at this moment, Yang Zhao's gaze slightly turned from Zhao Shirong to Kou Zhun, and his eyes changed from infinite tenderness to a domineering sword light that could destroy everything.

Yang Zhao didn't even need to say anything, everyone could understand what he meant.

If you dare to speak, you will die.

Not negotiable.

Kou Zhun was afraid, and then he was angry about this fear and became extremely annoyed.

Fortunately, Xiao Qinyan, who knew Yang Zhao's tyranny best, grabbed Kou Zhun tightly and covered his mouth.

Yang Zhao looked away and said, "You can come to visit Master Rong's residence in three days."

After saying this, Yang Zhao hugged Zhao Shirong, lifted the curtain and returned to the carriage.

Only Xiao Qinyan, Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi, Han Qi, Kou Zhun and other bigwigs were left standing at the city gate, staring at each other, not knowing what to say.

Chapter 168: The Means of the Scholars

As the Princess of the Five Lakes conferred by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Shirong had her own residence in Bianliang.

After entering Bianjing City, Yang Zhao and his party did not wander around the city. Instead, they went into the princess's mansion in a grand manner and then closed the door to refuse visitors.

It doesn't mean that we don't trust famous ministers and wise officials such as Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi, Han Qi, and Kou Zhun.

Rather, these literati and generals of the Song Dynasty were all spoiled by Taizong's lineage to a point where they were beyond reason.

Not to mention treacherous ministers like Cai Jing and Li Yan.

Even extremely famous people in history such as Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi and Bao Zheng had a lot of problems.

What is most criticized is that the civil officials of the Song Dynasty were generally greedy for power.

Anyway, once he opens his mouth, he dares to control everything.

Zhao Shirong did a very good job in Bian Jing. With the assistance of Xiao Qinyan, he has now become a pillar of support in the court. He is indeed courteous to Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi and others.

At the same time, this also brought a lot of threats to Zhao Shirong's future imperial power.

When facing those civil officials and scholars, we cannot just compromise.

Normal emperors of the Song Dynasty, even those like Renzong and Shenzong, could not convince everyone in the court at the peak of their power.

Not to mention that Zhao Shirong is a woman.

If we don't set up some rules for these civil officials and scholars now, they will probably act too aggressively in the future.

Three days.

Just as Yang Zhao said, anyone who came to visit the princess's mansion was turned away.

In addition to the reason that Yang Zhao and Zhao Shirong were reunited after a short separation, the purpose was to show off those famous ministers and wise men who were extremely stubborn.

Until the morning of the fourth day.

After the central gate of the princess's mansion was opened, many scholars and wise men who got the news, led by Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi and others, came to the princess's hall in a mighty manner.

"Brother Xiwen, Her Highness the Princess opened her house to welcome guests, but she didn't see us. This is rude. How can it be justified?"

"Junshi, don't say too much, just wait."

"Brother Jiefu, this is not the way of a ruler. We should be loyal subjects and give firm advice."

"Zhigui's words make sense. As an official, one should give direct advice to Yongtong..."

Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, Han Qi, Kou Zhun and a large number of bigwigs who once called the wind and rain in the court of the Song Dynasty were all like human shrewdness.

Only Xiao Qinyan, who was half virtuous and half treacherous, had already been completely conquered by Yang Zhao. He sat in the hall without saying a word.

The purpose of these big guys coming here is very obvious.

These people came here just for Yang Zhao.

Xiao Qinyan didn't think that Yang Zhao's domineering character would tolerate the insolence of these old guys.

as predicted.

As the noise from those so-called scholars and wise men became more and more intense.

Yang Zhao and Zhao Shirong, like a young couple, walked into the lobby hand in hand, in love.

And the moment Yang Zhao walked into the lobby, an infinite and powerful aura, like a mountain or an ocean, pressed down on the heads of these civil officials and wise ministers.

In an instant, the entire lobby was silent.

After a moment, Zhao Shirong and Yang Zhao sat at the head of the table, their eyes like knives sweeping over these scholars and wise ministers one by one.

At this moment, Yang Zhao used the technique of universal light, and his spirit transformed into a golden crow of the sun.

The moment they met Yang Zhao's gaze, the dark flaws hidden in the corners of those so-called civil officials and wise ministers were all revealed.

This is a kind of spiritual crush.

It cannot be resisted by any form of force. Only those with strong, pure and bright hearts can look Yang Zhao in the face without fear.

Whether it is Fan Zhongyan or Wang Anshi.

These famous ministers and wise ministers certainly have their own achievements and talents, but they also have their own little thoughts.

Yang Zhao didn't care about this, but he would not tolerate these people who were greedy for merit and overstepped their authority without distinguishing between superiors and subordinates.

Wait until everyone is quiet.

Yang Zhao's eyes quickly fell on a man with a simple and resolute face in the crowd, and he said, "Sima Junshi, Shi Rong and I were a hundred steps away, and I heard you speaking in dialect here. Do you want to punish my husband and me?"

Sima Guang was a man who was filial to his parents, friendly to his brothers, respectful, frugal, and gentle, with many good qualities.

But at the same time, this is also a typical representative of the conservative thinking of the scholar-officials.

This kind of person requires everyone to do everything according to the law, and every word, action and movement must be in accordance with etiquette.

However, these rules of speech, behavior, and etiquette were set by scholars and officials passed down from generation to generation.

During the reign of Emperor Shenzong, Sima Guang ignored state affairs and military affairs because of his personal struggle for power with Wang Anshi, and even gave away the land that his soldiers had won with their lives to Western Xia for free.

Because of this, Sima Guang was directly dismissed from office after Emperor Shenzong and became a retired scholar.

This time, Zhao Shirong entered the court under the banner of Taizu's lineage, turning into a white jade pillar supporting the sky, and confronted the likes of Liang Shicheng and Cai Jing in the court.

Sima Guang saw hope for revival in Zhao Shirong, so he sided with Zhao Shirong.

But during the three days we spent together.

Yang Zhao had already learned from Zhao Shirong that he was fed up with Sima Guang, this old scholar who jumped around so much.

Therefore, after reopening the door of the Princess's Mansion, Yang Zhao directly chose Sima Guang to take action, to show this group of old men what it means to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.

In response to Yang Zhao's question, Sima Guang opened and closed his mouth several times, but he had no idea how to start.

Under the illumination of Yang Zhao’s bright mind.

Sima Guang's ideas, which were meant to benefit the scholar-official class, were like stink bugs in a gutter, and could not be seen in public or in the light of day.

No matter how well the article is written or how beautiful the words are.

This kind of dirty thinking at its root cannot be covered up.

Especially under the illumination of Yang Zhao's spiritual power, Sima Guang knew very well that once he opened his mouth, he could only tell the truth and could not allow for the slightest falsehood.
