"At the same time, Xu Weiyu also requested the redemption of captives such as Wang Qingniao, Ning Emei, and Yuan Meng on behalf of the Prince of Beiliang."
After Li Gang finished speaking, everyone in the court was confused.
No one, including Zhao Shirong, could understand why Beiliang had spent a huge price, even mobilizing many martial saints, and only made such a weird request with a half-friendly, half-threatening attitude.
The Prince of Beiliang was allowed to travel southward and travel around the world.
What the hell is this?
As for the matter of redeeming Wang Qingniao, Ning Emei, Yuan Meng and others, it was simply ignored by everyone.
No one in the court knew Beiliang's intentions.
But at this time, Yang Zhao was still a little careless, but after hearing places like the Northern Border, Qingzhou, Lianghuai, Jiangnan, Xiangfan, and Jingchu, his eyes lit up.
I have to say that Beiliang really has talented people.
Not only was the request issued at this critical time for the Song Dynasty with a half-soft attitude, which enabled him to control the people in the Song Dynasty court to the greatest extent, but the locations he chose, where powerful martial saints were stationed, were all the most important dragon vein nodes in the Song Dynasty court.
If there is someone in the North who is proficient in the art of feng shui and qigong and can take action.
With the next generation ruler of Beiliang, the Prince of Beiliang, as the core, and bringing Beiliang's luck southward, he would travel around the northern border, Qingzhou, Lianghuai, Jiangnan, Xiangfan, Jingchu and other places. He would definitely be able to absorb the dragon vein energy of the Song Dynasty to the greatest extent, turning a snake into a dragon, and even turning a dragon into a dragon.
Moreover, this extremely covert means of invasion is not easy to be discovered, and it is much more advanced than the methods used by Liao, Jin, Western Shu, Mongolia and other forces.
If Yang Zhao had not subdued the dragon spirit of the Yinlong Imperial Court in the secret realm of the imperial mausoleum, he would not have been able to see through Beiliang’s plan.
Mind this.
Yang Zhao glanced at everyone in the court, then held Zhao Shirong's hand and said, "There is a dragon in Beiliang."
After Yang Zhao told Beiliang about their plans regarding destiny, dragon veins, etc.
In an instant, everyone in the court was boiling with anger.
Steal the spiritual fortune of the Song Dynasty and raise the dragon of Northern Liang.
Such villains should be killed to death.
The loyal civil and military officials in the Song Dynasty court had no choice but to believe it, ever since Gao Huaide, Zheng En, Yang Ye, Huyan Zan and others walked out of the secret realm of the imperial mausoleum and reappeared in the world.
The stories about the Dragon Palace in the underworld and the dragon veins of fortune are no longer a secret among the top leaders of the Song Dynasty.
If it weren’t for the fact that everyone in the court was unfamiliar with these things.
Beiliang’s plan this time may not be able to be concealed from the civil and military officials in the court.
Even so, the plan of the Beiliang people completely angered all the civil and military talents present, making everyone feel that their intelligence was insulted.
For a time, all the civil and military officials in the court had the urge to risk everything to attack Beiliang.
At this time, Zhuge Zhengwo suddenly stood up and poured cold water on everyone, saying: "Everyone, calm down for now. Before going to war with Beiliang, please face a question. How should we deal with Zhang Fuyao, Kong Pingzhong, Zhu Yuanhui, Deng Tai'a, Longshu Monk, Wang Zhonglou, these martial saints?"
Chapter 241 The Song Dynasty’s Military Generals’ Willingness to Die
It is actually hard to say who is right and who is wrong in the feud between Beiliang and Song Dynasty.
The old emperor before Zhao Ji had been a good partner with Xu Xiao, as close as a brother. The relationship between the two sides was a good match, which was why Xu Xiao had hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, was able to run rampant outside without being suspected, and was able to dominate the northern border and become powerful.
However, just before the old emperor died, a rumor suddenly began to spread throughout the world.
It is said that Wu Su, the wife of Xu Xiao of Beiliang, is pregnant with a boy, who is Zhenwu from heaven who has descended to earth and is the natural co-leader. In the future, he will definitely overthrow the Song Dynasty and accomplish great things.
However, the Shangyin Academy in Northern Xinjiang, the Kong family in Qingzhou, the Wudang sect in Jingchu, and others all believed this rumor.
There were also many capable people who were well-known throughout the world and joined Xu Xiao of Beiliang.
As a result, the tacit understanding and harmony between the imperial court and Beiliang were completely broken.
The old emperor was suspicious of Xu Xiao, and Xu Xiao was afraid of the old emperor.
In response to the old emperor's actions to weaken the military power of Beiliang, Xu Xiao's wife Wu Su took the opportunity to enter the palace, fought with several martial arts masters in the palace, escaped with serious injuries, and created the White Clothes Case that shocked the world.
Xu Xiao's wife was seriously injured and died after giving birth to Xu Fengnian and Xu Shenxiang.
In order to appease Xu Xiao, the old emperor had to confer the title of King of Beiliang on Xu Xiao and posthumously confer the title of Princess of Beiliang on Wu Su when he was dying. Only then could the imperial power be transferred smoothly.
However, because of this, Xu Xiao of Beiliang became more and more ambitious, and he hated the Song Dynasty more and more.
In addition, the foolish and incompetent Zhao Ji came to power.
It turned out that Xu Xiao occupied Beiliang and lay dormant for more than 20 years, and created a top hero who could threaten the Song Dynasty.
During the more than 20 years that Zhao Ji was in power.
It seemed that Xu Xiao did not expand the territory or the military power at all, but in fact, he secretly won over Wang Fuyao of Shangyin Academy, Kong Pingzhong of Qingzhou Kong family, Zhu Yuanhui of Lianghuai Neo-Confucianism, Deng Tai'a, the sword god of Jiangnan, Longshu monks of Xiangfan and Wang Chonglou of Wudang in Jingchu and others.
Six top-level warriors who have secluded themselves from the world, reached the highest level of Martial Saint, and are currently comprehending the ways of the immortals on earth.
Almost every one of these six great martial saints is comparable to Xi Chi of Yihua Palace.
At the same time, the existence of these six martial saints is also the ultimate confidence for Xu Xiao of Beiliang to dare to let the crown prince Xu Fengnian go south to the Song Dynasty to stop an army of millions.
In the Chuigong Hall.
As Zhuge Zhengwo finished his words, everyone's anger came to an abrupt end.
Unless the imperial court makes a prompt decision to start a decisive battle with Xu Xiao of Beiliang, otherwise, with the support of these six martial saints, even if Xu Fengnian forcibly enters the country to "travel", what can everyone do?
The current Yinshi Dragon Court has not yet completely stabilized.
Yang Zhaogang brought Long Ling out of the secret realm of the cave, and he still needed old man Zhao Pu to stay in the secret realm to stabilize the void of the cave.
Only after Yang Zhao uses the technique of finding the dragon's eyes to open up new dragon vein nodes and connect them with the Yinshi Dragon Court, can the Yinshi Dragon Court be completely expanded into the Yintu Underworld and become completely stabilized.
And the four great martial saints of the imperial court may not be a match for the six great martial saints.
In this way, wouldn't we have to watch helplessly as the Prince of Beiliang crossed the border from the south, swallowed the spiritual energy of the Song Dynasty and raised the dragon of Beiliang!
This result is absolutely unacceptable to everyone.
Just when there was silence in the Chuigong Hall, a eunuch came soon to report that the break time for the court meeting was over and the court would be convened again soon.
Wait until the eunuch leaves.
Zhao Shirong's face was gloomy for a long time before he forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, everyone. It doesn't matter if we send some spiritual energy to Beiliang. Our Song Dynasty is in its rebirth period and has infinite spiritual power. With your support, we will have a chance to have a fair fight with Beiliang in the future, and our Song Dynasty will surely win..."
"Your Highness!"
Just when Zhao Shirong was about to take this breath, Gao Huaide suddenly stood up and said, "Your Highness, I am already dead, but my body can still fight. Please allow me to go to Qingzhou and make sure that the Kong family will be extinct."
At the same time, Gao Huaide's son Gao Junbao and daughter-in-law Liu Jinding also stepped out, bowed and saluted, saying: "We are willing to die for Your Highness, to kill the thief Kong in Qingzhou and bring peace to the world."
Gao Huaide was once the most powerful general under Zhao Kuangyin.
As early as two hundred years ago, Gao Huaide was already the number one military general in the Song Dynasty, reaching the peak of Martial Saint and only half a step away from becoming a terrestrial immortal.
If Zhao Kuangyin had not died halfway, Gao Huaide would have already entered the land of immortals in order to suppress the evil dragon spirit.
This time when Gao Huaide walked out of the secret realm of the imperial mausoleum, his foundation was almost corroded by two hundred years of evil spirit. It would take at least ten years to restore his cultivation.
If we fight with all our strength at this moment, our energy will be exhausted and we will die.
The determination and willingness to die of Gao Huaide's family shocked everyone present.
And after Gao Huaide.
Yang Ye and She Saijun looked at each other and smiled. Soon they led the entire Yang family out and said, "Your Highness, I, Yang Ye, and my wife, Yang She, are still able to fight and help Your Highness pacify the Shangyin Academy in the north."
Tao Sanchun pulled Zheng En and stood up, saying, "Your Highness, the hammer in Chunniang's hand has once defeated all the enemies in the Song Dynasty. I am willing to go to Wudang with my old man and hammer to death the ungrateful Taoist priests. Your Highness, don't worry."
Hu Yanzan grinned and said proudly: "It shows that you are capable. My Hu family has four tigers and eight dragons. You should lead the cavalry to crush those old bald monks in the Xiangfan Liangchan Temple for Your Highness. Two hundred years ago, I, Hu Yanzan, disliked those monks. Today, I will kill them for Your Highness."
Generals of the Gao family, generals of the Yang family, generals of the Zheng family, and generals of the Hu family.
At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, there was a real group of military generals, each of which was a group of top-notch generals.
At the same time, this is also the ultimate foundation left for the Song Dynasty in Zhao Kuangyin's plan.
These veterans may have had some problems in the past, but at the critical moment, their loyalty to the Song Dynasty was extremely moving.
As a woman, Zhao Shirong is more emotional.
After a pause, Zhao Shirong saw that the civil and military officials could no longer come up with any ideas, so he immediately turned to look at Yang Zhao, with an expression that said, "If you don't care, I'll cry in front of you."
Yang Zhao was speechless, but he really couldn't refuse the pitiful look of his wife.
After a brief calculation, Yang Zhao said, "My lady, why don't we, in the name of the Song Dynasty court, confer the ten brothers of the Righteous Society under Taizu as gods of all places in the Song Dynasty, build temples to gather people, and open up the Yin Court."
"For those martial saint families behind Beiliang, maybe we can control them with the help of ghosts and gods?"
Chapter 242: Using Ghosts and Gods to Control the Martial Saint
If we say that Cao Bin, Gao Huaide, Zheng En, Yang Ye, Huyan Zan and others were the group of military generals at the beginning of the Song Dynasty, they were the top henchmen under Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin.
Then the Ten Brothers of Yishe were the real founders of the Song Dynasty.
Although Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, who lived more than two hundred years ago, had some social connections and background in his family, it was really not worth mentioning in that chaotic era.
In that chaotic era, if you wanted to be an official or develop your career without any background, you could only form gangs.
It was in this context that Zhao Kuangyin, Yang Guangyi, Shi Shouxin, Li Jixun, Wang Shenqi, Liu Qingyi, Liu Shouzhong, Liu Tingrang, Han Chongyun and Wang Zhengzhong swore an oath of blood oath and became brothers of the Yishe Society.
The ten brothers experienced ups and downs, but they were able to gain a foothold in that chaotic era by helping each other.
After developing step by step, the Song Dynasty came into being.
It's just a pity that when Zhao Kuangyin failed in his attempt to swallow the dragon and was cursed by heaven and earth, the ten brothers of Yishe were implicated because of their blood oath and brotherhood.
The ten brothers entered the secret realm of the imperial mausoleum, and none of them was able to come out.
Otherwise, in today's Song Dynasty, there might be nine top martial saints, or even a few land immortals.
But even so, among the ghosts in the secret realm of the imperial mausoleum, these people are the most powerful.
Except for Zhao Kuangyin whose soul has been completely destroyed, the other nine people only need to be pardoned and named local gods in the name of the court. Relying on their once extremely powerful foundation, the nine brothers of His Majesty Taizu can become extremely powerful Yin gods in a very short time.
Even after becoming a Yin God, its combat effectiveness will be greatly weakened when it manifests itself and fights in the Yang world.
However, these Yin Gods have placed their true spirits in the Huangji Zhenshi Bell. As long as the power of faith is sufficient, they will be immortal. Even if they are two against one, they can hold back at least four Martial Saints of Beiliang.
After a long time, it can even rely on its immortality to drag the evil to death.
Yang Zhao's proposal immediately brightened the eyes of everyone present.
Zhao Shirong was also somewhat tempted, but still a little worried, "Husband, Beiliang has already begun to exert its strength, and the time is very short. Isn't this move a bit hasty?"
Yang Zhao shook his head and said, "Don't worry, my lady. The Beiliang villains have a very deep plan. The Northern Border, Qingzhou, Lianghuai, Jiangnan, Xiangfan, Jingchu and other places are all important nodes of the main land veins of the Song Dynasty. They are the key to the birth of dragon spirits. Your husband will ride on the golden eagle to travel, which is enough to open up the Yin land in advance before Beiliang makes any move."
“As long as the Yin Land is opened up, the spirit will be restrained and the dragon spirit will be used to sort out the communication. It will soon be integrated into the Yin World Dragon Court, leaving the Beiliang thief with nothing.”
Zhao Shirong seemed relieved, then smiled and said, "Then I will severely reject and humiliate the person from Beiliang in the court. My husband is awesome. Come on, give him a kiss, eh!"
As soon as the matter was resolved, Zhao Shirong couldn't help but show off his love for her again.
Civil and military officials: "..."
Your Highness, please have some dignity, bah.
This is the Chuigong Hall.
It was an important place for political consultation and management during the Song Dynasty for 200 years.
In such a solemn and dignified place, in such a scene of collective effort, showing off one's affection is really a bit unethical.
Zhao Shirong is half love-brained.
Yang Zhao even has memories of two lives, and in this era, he would be considered a bohemian and unruly person.
The two of them ignored the complaints from the civil and military officials in the hall, and before the court session resumed, they were very affectionate and showed off their love for each other.
Finally, after a moment.
The grand court meeting lasted for half a day. When the court was reopened, all the civil and military officials moved from the Chuigong Hall to the Zichen Hall as if they were being chased by dogs.
"Lord Xiwen, Lord Jiefu, why are you so panicked?"
"Could it be that Her Highness Princess Diji got angry in Chuigong Palace?"
"Alas, it's normal to be angry. The Beiliang villain is really too bullying. I wish I could pick up a knife and kill him."
"It just makes the people of the Song Dynasty suffer, and Your Highness the Princess is wronged."
"After today's court meeting, we will order the Shangyin Academy and the Qingzhou Kong family to be expelled from the Confucian school..."
