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

Yang Zhao's words were like the sharpest steel knife or sword in the world, fiercely splitting Nangong Pushe's seemingly strong and resolute surface, and making Nangong Pushe's heart feel cold.

In fact, Yang Zhao really wronged Nangong Pushe.

At this time, Nangong Pushe was just a talented student at Shangyin Academy.

Although Nangong Pushe and Xu Weihui had a very good relationship in the Shangyin Academy party because they were both daughters of geniuses, they really did not dare to get involved in the Beiliang rebellion.

at first.

In Nangong Pushe's view, this trip to the capital was just an experience arranged by the teachers of the academy.

Even Xu Weihao's demands in the court were just to redeem a few captives and arrange a simple tour for the Prince of Beiliang in the territory of the Song Dynasty.

I don't know why, but I was accused of treason.

If Yang Zhao had not made trouble in the court more than ten days ago, Nangong Pushe would not have seen the trick in Xu Weiyu's request in the court.

After coming out of the Song Dynasty Palace, Nangong Pushe tried every means to inquire and finally learned some inside information.

But Nangong Pushe is also smart enough.

After the grand court meeting was over, Nangong Pushe saw that the court had not yet issued an order to exterminate the Xie family, so he knew that there was still room for improvement, so he hurried to the princess's mansion.

Being threatened by Yang Zhao.

After the initial panic, Nangong Pushe quickly calmed down and said, "Your Highness, Prince Zhao, Nangong knows his fault, the Xie family knows their fault, and is willing to pay any price just to atone for their sins."

"In the northern border, the Xie family is willing to donate thousands of acres of fertile land and mobilize all forces to help implement the new policy."

This is not the time to beg for mercy, but the time to show your usefulness.

Only those who are useful and valuable enough will not be used as the chicken to scare the monkeys by the court.

Yang Zhao and Zhao Shirong were very satisfied with Nangong Pushe's awakening.

Yang Zhao smiled and said nothing more.

Zhao Shirong stood up and made the final decision: "The implementation of the new policy is a great trend that benefits the country and the people. Whether your Xie family is there or not, the North Territory is unstoppable."

"What I want your Xie family to do is to promote the temple of the Northern Territory's Godly General. In addition, I want you to hand over all the information your Xie family has about the Shangyin Academy."

Hearing what Zhao Shirong said.

Nangong Pushe was stunned at first, then his expression changed and he seemed very embarrassed.

From Zhao Shirong's words, Nangong Pushe has deduced that what Zhao Shirong really wants to deal with is the Shangyin Academy in the northern border. Both himself and the Xie family are just pawns in the confrontation between the imperial court, Shangyin Academy and Beiliang.

But even so, it is still a difficult decision to let Nangong Pushe and the Xie family betray Shangyin Academy.

Shangyin Academy has stood in the northern border for hundreds of years, even longer than the founding of the Song Dynasty.

Not to mention that Nangong Pushe himself is a talented student of Shangyin Academy.

Even the ancestors of the Xie family were students who graduated from Shangyin Academy. From generation to generation, the Xie family has had close ties with Shangyin Academy.

Watching Nangong Pushe's expression changing, Yang Zhao and Zhao Shirong said nothing, just waited quietly.

Today, the Song Dynasty court has almost completely torn its relations with Beiliang.

Although no one knew why Shangyin Academy joined Beiliang's team, since it had become an enemy, the Song Dynasty court must eliminate it.

The saint of the Zhang family in Shangyin Academy will be dealt with by the national guardian generals after he is deified.

However, the students and personal networks of Shangyin Academy throughout the ages need to be cracked by someone who knows the inside story.

Since Nangong Pushe could become a pawn of Shangyin Academy, he could naturally also become a pawn of the imperial court.

As long as Nangong Pushe and the Xie family were instigated to rebel, the imperial court would be able to easily get a clear list of all people associated with the Shangyin Academy.

By the time the liquidation comes, a lot of energy can be saved on investigation and prevention of disasters.

As for whether Nangong Pushe and the Xie family would stand on the side of the court, Yang Zhao, Zhao Shirong and others did not worry at all.

After all, on the northern border, the Jingguan built with more than 200,000 heads was enough to make them think carefully.

The people who are in charge of the Song Dynasty court today are not the weak emperors of the past, and there is no unspoken rule that scholars and officials cannot be punished.

After Zhao Shirong came to power, he started killing those wealthy gentry and businessmen without showing any mercy.

As long as Nangong Pushe and the Xie family are not stubborn Beiliang diehards, they will definitely know what to choose.

A long time.

Nangong Pushe seemed to have made a decision and said, "Nangong and the Xie family are willing to be the pioneers of the court in the north, and we will not let down the court's grace of forgiving the Xie family's crimes."

Chapter 247 Jiang Ni's Determination of Revenge

Asking Nangong Pushe and the Xie family to betray Shangyin Academy and many friendly families in the northern border would definitely make the other party unwilling to do so, and they might even have some resentment towards the court.

But it doesn’t matter. Yang Zhao and Zhao Shirong obviously don’t care much.

Whether it is Nangong Pushe or the Xie family, although they have a very high reputation and a very good name in the northern border, compared with the power of the imperial court and the Beiliang force, they are just pawns.

Not to mention the Xie family.

Even if there are ten or a hundred Xie families, the imperial court does not care.

The imperial court could use 100,000 Jin troops to clean up the western part of Hebei, and then they could wield the butcher knife themselves and massacre all the noble families in the entire northern border.

In the north of the Song Dynasty today, only Beiliang is the biggest threat.

After Nangong Pushe gave in, Zhao Shirong's attitude towards Nangong Pushe changed 180 degrees in an instant. She held the other's hand and started whispering to him, like a pair of good friends.

After seeing this scene, Huang Rong, Yan Fei and others quickly pulled Nangong Pushe to join the pool party.

At this time, Yang Zhao's gaze quickly fell on Jiang Ni and Liu Zhu again.

Jiang Ni is different from Nangong Pushe.

Nangong Pushe has his biological father Xie Guanying and hundreds of members of the Xie family, so he can be easily controlled.

But Jiang Ni was a person whose country was destroyed and her family was ruined, so she had no weaknesses. After more than ten days of self-reflection, although she looked a little haggard, she was actually much braver in her heart.

He met Yang Zhao's sweeping gaze.

Jiang Ni bit her lip slightly, and then said with red eyes: "Master Zhao, I want to know who killed my mother and the 80 people in the capital of Western Chu who died together with me?"

Yang Zhao still felt some sympathy for Jiang Ni, a person with a tragic fate.

Yang Zhao sighed and said, "Haven't you already guessed all these things?"

Jiang Ni's eyes were firm as she said, "Seeing is believing, hearing is not. I can't tell who is lying to me. I want to see with my own eyes what the imperial decree of the past was like."

The court decrees and the emperor's orders are naturally backed up and archived.

Yang Zhao seemed to have anticipated Jiang Ni's request. He waved his hand, and soon a maid brought in a large stack of old court documents and records.

Yang Zhao waved his hand and said, "These are the imperial edicts and official documents from that year. There are also clear records in the late emperor's daily notes and court records. You can read them for yourself."

After getting Yang Zhao's consent, Jiang Ni quickly stepped forward and started to look through it.

These court documents and records do not contain any falsification.

The Western Chu Kingdom back then was a very special existence, just like the Dali Kingdom that is now dependent on the imperial court. It was a small country with only a few cities, but it also had its own heritage.

Later, when the Western Chu State was running out of strength, the Song Dynasty began to want to annex it.

At that time, Xu Xiao had already made great contributions. In order to avoid being overwhelmed by his achievements and arousing the emperor's suspicion, when he conquered Western Chu, he deliberately allowed his soldiers to plunder and kill, and even deliberately massacred the city, deliberately handing his own handle to the emperor.

At the same time, the sins that Xu Xiao had committed back then also fell on the imperial court.

When Fang La started the uprising, the reason why he was able to gain such a large response in the six southeastern states was not only because of the harsh policies of the imperial court, but also because there were countless people in the six southeastern states who were the survivors of the Western Chu.

Including Jiang Ni, who was brought to Beiliang by Xu Xiao when she was in her teens. After a long period of brainwashing, she even subconsciously ignored the fact that Xu Xiao was the culprit, and regarded the Song Dynasty as the enemy.

Not long.

Jiang Ni quickly read through the pile of books, and her eyes suddenly became red. Tears gathered and were wiped away fiercely.

Along with it, a murderous intent began to gather on Jiang Ni.

Suddenly, Jiang Ni took out a dagger from her bosom, on which were engraved the words "divine talisman". She looked at Yang Zhao with a murderous look in her eyes.

Yang Zhao calmly drank a sip of juice and said, "Have you made a decision?"

Jiang Ni looked determined and said, "The hatred for the country and family must not be forgotten. I swear to kill Xu Xiao."

Yang Zhao's eyes were deep and hard to read, and he said, "Are you sure? Xu Xiao is the father of your childhood sweetheart Xu Fengnian."

Jiang Ni's expression was dazed for a moment, with a deep sadness in her eyes.

Then, Jiang Ni suddenly raised her head, stared at Yang Zhao, then suddenly took off her coat and rushed towards Yang Zhao.

Jiang Ni's bold move stunned everyone present.

Huang Rong, who was jealous, could not stand it and exploded on the spot, shouting: "Sisters, there is a vixen trying to steal a man, follow me."

"No, why are you all like this? She is cheating on you right in front of you, but you are all indifferent. Are you still women?"

Huang Rong is a clever little girl. She shouts loudly, but she wants to use her sisters as guns.

Unexpectedly, even Wang Yuyan, who was usually the easiest to deceive, was not fooled. After being shocked, everyone looked like they were enjoying the show.

Huang Rong suddenly became dispirited, but she also knew that this was just an accident.

At this time, Yang Zhao had already pushed away Jiang Ni, whose eyes were red.

Then, Yang Zhao calmly twisted his lips, which had a faint smell of rust, and said with a smile: "Girl, your kissing skills need to be improved."

Yang Zhao joked like this.

Jiang Ni held back her tears and said, "I know you don't believe me. If I kiss you, I will never have any relationship with Xu Fengnian. Besides, I don't have Sister Nangong's family background. I can give my body to you. I want to kill Xu Xiao with my own hands."

Yang Zhao laughed and said, "Then just kiss me, why would you bite me directly with your teeth?"

Jiang Ni's face flushed instantly and she said, "I didn't, I wasn't, I don't know."

Courage is gained or lost in just a moment.

Yang Zhao thought to himself, what a girl, she denied three things in a row right away. She was determined to be a scumbag and ignore him.

Use secret techniques to sense Jiang Ni's emotions.

Yang Zhao has been able to confirm that the other party really wants to join him and go against Beiliang.

After confirming the other party's determination.

Yang Zhao just opened his mouth and said: "Jiang Ni, you actually have a lot of cards. Cao Changqing, a survivor of Western Chu, has already reached the realm of Confucian martial saint."

"And you have many treasure books left by the old Western Chu, such as the training methods of the Western Chu halberd warriors. This young master is very interested in them."

"As for you, forget it. You are my woman, and you can only have me in your heart."

Jiang Ni opened her mouth, feeling inexplicably flustered and anxious.

But in the end, Jiang Ni still didn't say a word, but a sense of loss flashed through her heart, which she had not even noticed.

Chapter 248 The Great Dream Heart Sutra and Bodhisattva Zen

Yang Zhao didn't take Jiang Ni's sudden attack seriously, and neither did the other girls.

On the one hand, everyone understood Jiang Ni's eagerness to show her determination at the time.

On the other hand, although the girls usually complained about Yang Zhao's amorousness, in fact, they were still very confident in Yang Zhao's self-control ability.

There is a large group of beautiful girls in the princess's mansion.

Yan Fei, Fang Baihua, Lin Chaoying, Yao Yue, Lian Xing and others, each of them is a stunningly beautiful woman, and they also have feelings for Yang Zhao.

Even the young Li Mochou and Xiaolongnu were top beauties.

But even so, Yang Zhao's attitude towards the women was simply not to reject them. There was never any sign of coercion, nor did he ever cross the line.

Not refusing and not taking the initiative already makes him a gentleman in the eyes of the girls, not a scumbag.

There's nothing you can do about it. This era is just so tolerant towards men.

After dealing with Jiang Ni, Yang Zhao looked at the last person who came, the Six-Pearl Bodhisattva.

No one knows Liuzhu's real name or her master. People only know that Liuzhu is the only female Tantric master on Mount Nalanda. She has a kind heart of a bodhisattva, has helped the people outside the city of Xiangyang, has displayed many methods, and was even once called White-robed Guanyin. She is a true Buddhist hermit.

Logically speaking, Liuzhu should not get involved in the vortex of court and power struggles.

At the previous grand court meeting, Liuzhu showed that he was helpless.
