Shape of the Wind – Volume Meteorite Chapter 2: Jixia Discussed
lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Fengzi Monogatari!
Not yet reported, the content of Jacob's declaration has caused a commotion in Shangri-La, even if it is so far away, let alone the King of Jixia, who is only a hundred miles away from Jacob.
Lancelow's declaration clearly stated that if Jixia did not take the initiative to open the city gate, then he would forcefully break the gate with strength. Therefore, the commanding and military officers in charge of the defense of the royal capital are busy making arrangements throughout the night.
If the offenders were just a bunch of reckless snowmen with weapons, they could easily shoot them down the city. However, what Lancelow showed in Jacob City was, besides the arrogant declaration, he With his own heavenly power, if he used the mighty power of the heavenly power to attack the city head-on, he had never encountered a group of military officers in such battles, but he really didn't know how to deal with it.
Reins Thielen has a long history, and there is no lack of records of heavenly masters attacking the capital in history. It was during the Battle of Kyushu. The second prince of the demons, Yinfeng, led an army to attack Jixia. At that time, the "Japanese sage" Huang Taiji and the "star sage" Kadar joined forces to fight against the enemy. They fought for two days and defeated the enemy forcefully and Ling Yinfeng. Forged feathers and returned. Not to mention the heavy casualties on Jixia, almost 80% of the city walls were demolished in the two-day battle of heaven, and countless buildings in the city were destroyed and collapsed. Now that history repeats itself, the demons that invaded Reings are about to come, but in Jixia City, let alone the heavenly masters, even the two master-level territorial powerhouses can’t be found. Originally, like Reings, who was good at magic and ancient magic ways In a peaceful country, it's not easy to have any martial arts strongman, but the crisis is imminent. God knows what to use to defend the city wall tomorrow?
Don't hesitate, the commander had to bite the bullet and negotiate with the Primordial Demon Dao Research Institute of the Bai family, hoping to borrow some Primordial Demon Dao weapons to increase his strength. It was the many students of Jixia Academy who instigated the action of closing the city gate and preventing the new prince from entering the city. Now they are so angry that they are about to kill them. They should also take responsibility!
The military officer in charge of city defense has become an ant on the hot pot, and the civil servants also act frequently.
In Reins, the prince was originally able to hold the post of prime minister, but the queen, Liya's mother, announced the abolition of the post of prime minister after the death of her husband, and instead promoted the six ministers underneath to the cabinet to assist in the ruling. Therefore, when the queen is away, the chief minister of the cabinet is the palace secretary.
The current palace secretary, Bai Dezhao, is the only surviving elder of the Baizi family. In terms of generation, he is the nine uncles of Bai Wuji, the head of this generation, and his seniority is at the same level as the dean of Daxue Mountain, Yan Zheng. Since the first two queens were in power, it was convenient to hold office in the court, and Liya's mother was promoted as the official secretary of the palace. Up to now, most of the court factions belong to her for nearly three hundred years of administrative career.
Besides this, Bai Dezhao is also responsible for a sacred task: to take care of the Reins Royal College known as the "Jixia Academy" in the role of sacrificial wine. Although he has not studied the Primordial Magic Way, this old man who has witnessed the rise and fall of the Bai family has profound knowledge and affinity, which makes scholars of all schools in the academy highly respect it.
Jixia Academy is an existence that can influence the direction of Reins’ administration. Most important imperial positions came from the Jixia Academy, allowing a scholar who is closely related to the Academy. Taking the post of Ge Kui, of course, was a very attractive personnel arrangement. From the standpoint of the Academy itself, if the government of the Lixu Palace was to be served by the important officials of the Empire, it would of course also be a very glorious matter.
In fact, after long-term power struggles and mergers, the Reins Palace, Jixia Academy, and the White Family, these three almost merged into one. For example, at this moment, more than 80% of the participants have blood or blood ties with the Bai family. Relatives, from a certain perspective, really resemble a family gathering.
Compared with many dazzling Bai family geniuses, Bai Dezhao has no outstanding talents, but his prudent and modest personality has won him praise from three queens and the respect of major nobles. He is also such a person. , Was able to be competent for the heavy responsibility of the palace affairs book.
But such a personality, now in the eyes of everyone, seems gentle and slow, and it has become a major reason for everyone's impatientness.
"Master Shangshu! Please make a decision immediately, things can no longer be delayed!"
"The incapable madman occupied Jacob, please immediately order the rectification of the armament, and tomorrow you will get rid of him and his comrades from the city!"
"No! Jacob's people are being ravaged by his clutches, we can't delay for a moment, we should send troops to Jacob immediately to rescue our compatriots!"
"Snakes can't do without a head. It's all because the heir has not been determined, and there are so many incidents. Sacrifice Lord Wine, we should immediately choose a leader!"
Important figures from the Reins Court and Jixia Academy gathered in the large conference hall of the Jixia Academy. You and I will express your views on the current situation and try to persuade people with different opinions. .
Reins' conservative system makes the bureaucracy extremely important. Since the Queen is not there, it is the Palace Secretary who has the right to order the army to dispatch. The rest of the people are of the same status, each holding on to their own opinions. The prejudice is that you don't obey me and I don't obey you. They have been arguing for much of the night, but they have never reached a conclusion, just waiting for Bai Dezhao's decision.
Sit down in an oversized leather chair with his back hunched, his eyes narrowed almost to make people think he is asleep, this old man with a long gray beard and wrinkled face, but the words of everyone It's all in the ears.
Undoubtedly, he is old, but he is definitely immortal. Although he has no extraordinary wisdom, his insight as an elderly person still allows him to clearly grasp the heart of each speaker.
The people who clamored to rectify their armaments have already seen a great deal of strength. They thought that after hearing that the opponent had the power of heaven, they were already shuddered and wanted to bolster the courage of the crowd.
The young nobleman who shouted that he was going to send troops to Jacob had never paid much attention to the welfare of the civilians in his life. What he said now was probably because he didn't know the situation and simply hated the thief.
And those people who have been clamoring to elect a leader...are the accomplices who travelled during the day! At this kind of moment, still focusing on this matter, it seems that the younger generation is really not only aspiring to the Patriarch of the Bai family, but wants to seize the whole country of Reings.
The ministers should be veterans with considerable experience and rich experience, but those who sit in the throne must be young and energetic. This is the instruction of the first Queen Reins and the ideal politics that Jixia Academy has always advocated.
The new generation of Reins does not have many young talents who are enough to ascend the throne. Looking at qualified candidates, Tian Xing is indeed a schoolmaster, plus his relationship with Jixia Academy and the court. The friendship of the minister, the voice of his ascension is indeed very high.
Actually, after the Kyushu War, Reins followed the administrative principle of not participating in the mainland hegemony, which allowed the country to be peaceful for two thousand years. But all the time, the voice of opposition has not diminished. There are still many people who believe that during the Kyushu War, Reins used the role of the leader to control all forces and fight against the demons. If it had not taken the initiative to abandon the leadership position after the war and stayed in a corner, so far the entire continent was still in Reings. Under the rule, how could El Tienuo and Wu Lian Barbarian have the upper hand?
When the Baizi family was strong, it was quite aspiring to dominate the world, but with the occurrence of the cataclysm, this ideal was shattered, but the children of the Bai family always remembered that glorious day.
This time the queen has died and no one has succeeded to the throne. There has also been a wave of noise in the Jixia Academy, demanding that Reins should not be weakened again, and a wise and promising male protagonist should be elected to regain the power. .
This idea coincides with what he did during the day. If he were allowed to take the throne, there would probably be many people who would happily comment on this matter!
But Bai Dezhao didn't think so. His prudence comes from the right way. As the only surviving elder of the Bai family on the mainland, he knows many secrets that others don’t know, and he also knows that the already weakened Bai family on the Continent of Wind is full of inside stories, not as good as on the outside. It seems simple, and participating in the mainland hegemony is not as simple as imagined. Without knowing these day trips, the emperor decided that it would be difficult to sit still. In the end, not only will the Bai family's children suffer in vain casualties, but it will also make Reings devastated, and then he will become a sinner of the ages.
"It is very important to elect the successor." After Bai Dezhao spoke, the surrounding quarrel immediately subsided, and everyone listened to the words of the elder and important minister.
"The royal lineage of Reins is inherited by blood. It is passed down from generation to generation by parents and children. If an outsider without royal blood comes to the throne, how can the people be convinced?" Bai Dezhao said: "Although Liya The queen is no longer there, but in terms of blood relationship, her brother, Bai Wuji, is the most orthodox heir to the throne."
As soon as this remark came out, there was a loud noise. The ministers who originally proposed to elect an heir were particularly against it, because if the blood relationship were to be used to count, the day trip would be a hundred and eight thousand miles away. The throne can't be by the side. But a lot of people agree.
Although in the eyes of opponents, Bai Wuji has no ambitions, has no strengths other than business talents, and is excessively lustful, and is often criticized as a "bronze-smelly ghost", but this person's He is kind, bold, and spending money, but it has also made him popular in China, and he is an unassuming civilian prince. He is the elder brother of Queen Liya, and the people can't help but push love. In addition, he has mostly friendship with powerful foreign forces. He will become the emperor. Although there may not be any development, it will certainly not be worse than it is now.
"Sacrifice Lord Jiu, this is not possible. The times are different now. We can no longer rely on blood to choose heirs. Those who can bear Reins' national fortune should be strong and responsible men!"
"When you say this, do you think that Lord Wuji is incapable and has no responsibility?"
"Two adults, don't argue about this now, we should first punish the fanatic in Jacob City!"
Bai Dezhao remained silent. Seeing that the scene was about to become chaotic again, a voice from outside interrupted everyone's dispute.
"It's rare for you to have such a diversified evaluation of the abilities of the younger brother, which really flatters me."
The speaker slowly walked into the room, with an unruly smile on his face, and slowly said: "It has been a few hours since the discussion, and there seems to be no conclusion!"
Seeing this man, the room suddenly became quiet, and then there was a loud noise again.
The Baizi family has dominated Reins for a long time. Over 80% of the important figures in the court and academy meeting here are of Bai family ancestry. They will have such a huge shock. Those who come are not others, but the current Patriarch of the Bai family. Bai Wuji.
Since the death of Queen Liya, he has never reacted, as if it's nothing to do with him, unscrupulously engaged in the relationship between men and women, and changed ten different female partners in ten days. Those who originally supported him were disappointed by this. The Bai family's children who opposed him were even more criticized. How could a cold-blooded person who did nothing more than the death of his sister be able to lead the Bai family?
Now, he has taken the initiative to show up here. Does this mean that he wants to be on the same line with everyone? In any case, as the Patriarch of the Bai family, he has a lot of resources in his hands, and with his help, the number of people resisting the enemy has greatly increased. Those who belonged to the daytime group were anxious and worried that this person would formally express his stance for the throne.
"Uncle Jiu, I haven't asked you for peace for a long time."
Without failing the courtesy, Bai Wuji first bowed to his elders, and Bai Dezhao did not dare to give a big gift to the younger generation as the head of the family. When all the due courtesy were exhausted, Bai Wuji began to speak, although It was expected that he would do something here, but everyone did not expect his attitude to be so direct.
Looking at the people and horses who walked in the daytime, Bai Wuji shook his head and smiled and said, "Tell the Tianxing boy to give up! It is impossible for him to sit on the seat of Patriarch Bai, even if I let him sit. He is also unstable and gives up early. He can still have a way of life."
It is the first time that Bai Wuji has expressed his opinion on this matter after expressing his desire to compete for the position of Patriarch during the day. Many of the Bai family children who supported the day trip, and many young and Zhuang sects, pleaded for the people they supported at this time.
"Nonsense! You can sit down, why can't Young Master Tianxing sit down?"
"Since you have no abilities, don't take over this man, you should hand over the power of the Bai family to someone who is truly capable!"
"The son of Tianxing is both civil and martial, nothing else, at least in terms of morality, it is hundreds of times higher than your **** cold-blooded bastard!"
The repeated curses resulted in the anger of the supporters of Bai Wuji, who stood up to speak for the head of the family, and the two sides scolded again. As the chairman of the conference, Bai Dezhao just kept silent and waited for Bai Wuji's response.
"My talents are not understandable by ordinary people, at least...I can let you stand here and call me a cold-blooded **** and be safe. If it's another family, guess what you are now. End?"
Everyone shuddered.
Because of Reins’ freedom of speech, they have always regarded critics of the Patriarch as a natural right. In fact, most of the seven sects have strict family rules and absolutely safeguard the dignity of those in power. They arbitrarily insult their Patriarchs, except for martial arts. The freaks of Wang Wu and Bai Wuji would not care, and it would be difficult for the rest of the family to change things easily. Xu Liewu might come up with some dumbfounding punishments. If it were Shi Chong and Hua Tianxie, it would probably be immediately. The whole family was put to death by peeling the skin and making mud for public display.
"I'm a lascivious cold-blooded bastard. That's right, and the reason why the Tianxing kid is not qualified to be the head of the house is because he is not." Bai Wuji said slowly: "A person who can sit as the head of the Bai family, absolutely can't He is a normal person, and he will never be a normal person."
The unthinkable words were not only discussed by the members of the Bai family, but Bai Dezhao, who was headed by them, was deeply moved.
"The genius Bai family, the crazy Bai family", this is the impression of the white family from the outside world when the Bai family was at its peak. The outstanding ancestors of the Bai family in the past, who have outstanding abilities, are not just ordinary talents, but are rare geniuses that have been rare for hundreds of years. They have made amazing progress in the subjects they are good at, leaving everyone far behind. , The research contributions they left behind are enough for their children and grandchildren to enjoy for several generations.
But just like their peerless qualifications, these ancestors also had weird personalities. Most of them are surly, and some are like Bai Wuji, who are lascivious who chase after women all day; some are reverse **** lovers who prefer beautiful men and boys; they have also been like the fifth-generation patron Bai In general, he regards **** as a weird person who fears the way and is lonely and clean.
The most terrifying thing is the seventh-generation Patriarch Bai Doza who created Nuclear Fusion Fist. This person is an extremely bloodthirsty madman, and the warriors who died in his hands are enough to pile up into a mountain. Before he was forced to advance to the rank of heaven, he had to kill one person every night before he could fall asleep, especially the scene where the knife cut through the bones, which can make him climax in his intercourse.
These ancestors have undoubtedly made outstanding contributions, but perhaps it is precisely because of their abilities that surpass most of the ordinary people, that their personalities are unsupportable and distorted. They must vent through crazy behaviors in order to find the motivation to live. In fact, Bai Jiajunjie, who died young and committed suicide, is full of genealogy.
Bai Dezhao is very aware of his ordinaryness. He knows that the daytime walks that are close to his own blood should be just ordinary people, unlike the three brothers and sisters of Bai Wuji and Liya, who are extraordinary under the ordinary appearance. Therefore, when he met in private several times, he refused the wooing of the day trip. Now that Bai Wuji has stood up to speak, he must act...
"Patriarch." The old man who had been silent and speechless said, "What do you think about the succession of the throne?" Bai Dezhao had previously expressed that he hoped that Bai Wuji would sit on the throne of God. This inquiry means confirmation Does Bai Wuji have the will to ascend to the throne?
In the tense eyes of everyone, Bai Wuji did not change his expression. Both my sister and myself like this uncle very much. They can recognize their own weight and don't think about it. This is not something everyone can do.
"The throne should let the orthodox heir sit! Although I have the qualifications of a priest, I have never been a devout believer. If I were to pray for you in place of the queen, it would bring bad luck to Reings."
Bai Wuji said: "So I am here this time just for one question. May I ask everyone, what reason do we have to prevent the orthodox heir from ascending the throne?"
As soon as the words came out, the room suddenly hung in a suspenseful atmosphere. Everyone deliberated on the meaning of the words, but they did not dare and did not want to believe what he meant.
"Patriarch means...?"
Bai Wuji said: "As Reins people, haven't you all vowed to obey the queen's orders? Since the queen's death is to be passed on, the throne already has a lord. Now I want to push it here. Go, choose to choose, is it possible that no one takes the Queen’s order in his heart anymore?"
Everyone looked at each other, and finally, a courtier said: "The queen's death is naturally important, but how can an outsider come..."
"You can't be regarded as an outsider!" Bai Wuji said, "Regardless of my background, if I formally married the Queen, I am the Prince Reins. I used to protect the Queen’s safety from the Hua Family. Reins has made great contributions. In terms of relationship and merit, the new prince can no longer be said to be an outsider."
In a sound of surprise, everyone realized that Bai Wuji's purpose here was to help the foreign bandits ascend to the throne and claim the king. They were panicked, regardless of faction, and all united. Get up and stop this.
"Master Wuji, even if the servant is not an outsider and has done great service to our country, but such a ruthless man who only knows how to convince people by force, if he is allowed to sit on the throne, it will only be a catastrophe for our country. !"
"Ha! Let you sit on the throne, that is really the catastrophe of Reins." Bai Wuji sneered: "There have always been voices in the academy for revitalizing the country. Just now, you said that the throne can no longer be inherited. Relying on blood is a strong man who needs the ability and responsibility. The new prince certainly convinces people with martial arts, but it is a fact that he has the power of heaven. According to your argument, this kind of strong man is the best candidate to lead Reins’ struggle for hegemony. If he succeeds, you should applaud."
Overwhelming all the objections, and leaving the opponents speechless. Everyone remembered that Bai Wuji was famous for his eloquence in Jixia Academy. Only a few people including Queen Liya could argue with him. Now they are arguing with him. , Then no one can compete with him.
Since the argument of tongues is useless, then focus on where you are most focused.
"Prince Wuji, you may be right, but please don’t forget the recent report that this new prince is really suspicious. There is no reliable witness to prove the marriage in Kiglu. It is very likely. He used violence to coerce the queen into marriage, and there is no such thing as marriage at all. All is just a conspiracy between him and his party, falsely claiming to marry the queen, and intending to seize the throne of our country!"
Finally speaking of the focus of the problem, the officials repeatedly said yes, pushing the heavy negative pressure back to Bai Wuji.
Bai Wuji waved his hand and said: "Why ask knowingly? Can reports of that level prove anything? As long as I am willing, the headlines of the major newspapers tomorrow will elect a new murderer to ensure that Everyone’s names are on the top, everyone has a part and never fails. How about it, do you want to taste what Qianfu means?"
Recalling his power as the Patriarch of the Bai family, when he said that, no one would dare to talk, but his unconvinced gaze was still looking towards Bai Wuji.
"At the time of the incident, I was holding a woman under the grass, and I couldn't prove the truth of Kiglu's incident." Bai Wuji smiled: "But if there is no evidence, that's not necessarily."
"Young Master Zheng Wuji, this matter is of great importance. You can't just find someone to say that it's a witness!"
"Is there any evidence? Who is that person?"
The discussion has reached a critical point. The officials are afraid and curious, and don't know how Bai Wuji can solve this critical problem.
"It's me..."
The voice was crisp and came from the door. The officials looked back, but did not look at anyone. They lowered their gaze by an octave, only then did they see the speaker.
Wearing a black robe and a **** magic hat diagonally on her head, Mei Lin slowly walked into the meeting hall. Some people recognize this grinning girl, who often wanders around in Jixia Academy and puts a crystal ball on the table to help young students divination of love and fate. They are very popular among students, but they don’t know such a lowly character. , Why come to an important meeting place.
At the very front of the conference table, the old man, who has always been silent like a stone, suddenly moved. Bent over to salute the girl, and said in shock: "Palace Master, I am so ashamed that I would not have thought it would disturb your elderly..."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and there was only one thought in their minds, is it possible that the legendary Jixia Academy Palace Master really exists?
Reins Royal College, also known as Jixia Academy, the highest person in charge should be the dean of the academy, which is commonly known as the position of the palace master. In the beginning, the palace was in charge of the palace lord, and with his extraordinary ability, he unified the major factions, laid the scale of the current academy, and made it the cornerstone of maintaining the stability of Reins. However, according to rumors, the palace lord never returned after going on a tour more than a thousand years ago. The first two queens were grateful for the grace of the palace lord and added the post of sacrificial wine to take charge of the Jixia Academy.
As time goes by, the true face of the palace lord Jixia is no longer remembered, and many young children believe that it is just a fabricated image of a great man, and there is no palace lord at all. Now, as the veteran of the Reins court, Bai Dezhao salutes this girl so humbly, is she the elder among the elders, the master of Jixia Academy?
"Palace Lord, why are you..."
"The biggest advantage and disadvantage of an ancient civilization is that there are so many immortal people. It is really not easy to find some old bones to instigate El Tienuo and Wu Lian."
Accepting Bai Dezhao’s salute, Mei Lin said: "Hello everyone, I am Mei Lin Green, the dean of Reins Royal College. If my memory is correct, more than 90% of all of you here are our students. When the Kiglu incident occurred, I followed the queen to prove the merits and innocence of the new prince. If this is not enough, the 2,000 wizards of the Sorcerer Guild can all prove the matter."
Mei Lin's voice is not loud, and the girl's appearance is not the slightest power, but as the lord of Jixia and the first elder of Reings, she has an irresistible sense of oppression in her words, which makes everyone Unable to object.
"The new prince is a brave man with a chivalrous heart. For such a person, the Magic Guild will do its utmost to maintain it, and I hope everyone here will not doubt our determination."
"The position of the Baizi family is the same. Unless someone raises the flag of rebellion against me, all the children who are loyal to my Bai Wuji, please give the new prince the support and respect he deserves."
As everyone knows, Queen Reings is the chairman of the Sorcerer’s Guild, but the ministers all understood in the Kigru incident that the Court of Reings did not have the power to dominate the Sorcerer’s Guild. They even how to go. I don't even know if I touch it. Now, the Magic Guild finally expressed its position, coupled with the support of the White Family! When the two forces are united, there is absolute power to influence Reins and suppress all kinds of opposition.
"I don't care what you decide, anyway, the gate of Jixia City will be opened tomorrow." Meilin said coldly: "The Queen's death is true, although there is still some room for questioning, but if anyone advocates Close the city gate and prevent the queen's coffin from being buried. That is the enemy of all my Magic Guild!"
Bai Wuji, who was next to him, nodded and said: "I agree with Teacher Mei Lin's statement."
So, everyone in Lancelow was still thinking about what method they would use to capture the gate of Jixia. The gate of Jixia had already fallen silently in this council hall.
