Tome of Troubled Times Chapter 517: The world is in chaos

Chapter 517 The world is in chaos

Human beings like to take literal meanings... No matter whether the titles of the Three Rankings of Heaven, Earth and Humanity originally have special meanings, in the eyes of the world, they will always be understood with reference to the literal meaning.

Most people's perception is that Qianlongbang is still a rookie, while Renbang is a human master.

Tianbang is no longer a human being, he belongs to a legendary figure in the clouds.

The earth ranking is in between, and the steps between heaven and earth are also on the steps to ascend to the sky.

No matter how exaggerated people's understanding of the Heavenly and Earthly Rankings is, if Cui Wen Z and others knew that they were treated as legends, they would not laugh or cry. In short, this is really the case in the eyes of the world. Even Zhao Changhe himself treated Suzaku as a demon when he had no knowledge.

In other words, the person who is number one on the human list is the strongest person as a "person", and the person who goes up is not considered a person at all.

Once you reach the top of the list, your status in the world will be ridiculously high.

However, due to the fact that three consecutive rankings have fallen from the list in the past two years, the top spot on the list has also been constantly changing, resulting in the loss of the sacred aura it once had. Zhao Changhe's ascent to the top is not even as sensational as when Qianlong ranked first. After all, this guy just brushed up the rankings for nothing, which has already made the world numb. It feels like this day will come sooner or later...

"What kind of troubled times book, Chuihe book!" Tang Buqi was complaining in his own house: "The reviews given to him every time are either first-rate or a hundred flowers are killed. Isn't it good to just give him a flower king, or a hundred flowers are ashamed. ”

This is the capital's residence. The Tang family has indeed moved away from Gusu and does not want to lie on the explosive barrel of the Sword Emperor's mausoleum. It's just that Tang Buqi still needs to keep an eye on the situation in Jiangnan. There are actually other important things to do in Beijing this time.

Xuan Chong was a guest in his house. After hearing Tang Buqi's complaints, he laughed and shook his head without agreeing.

In fact, the book of troubled times had a very high evaluation of Yue Hongling and Han Wubing before. Zhao Changhe can often get the most outstanding words, and it is also because he is really taking the first place. There is nothing to say, Xuan Chong Expressed very calmly.

Using flowers as a metaphor every time makes people feel a little bit evil...

In his opinion, another issue was more important. He didn't know why Tang Buqi didn't mention it... so Xuanchong raised it: "I didn't expect that Li Shentong really turned against me... and this time Zhao Changhe actually stood on his side. On the anti-thief side. Your attitude is so entangled in such a serious matter?"

Tang Buqi was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Auntie didn't say anything, what can I say?"

"Prince Tang didn't say anything?"

"What can I say? Li Si'an's report clearly stated that the Shu region has been suffering from Zhai Mu for a long time, and even the rebellion in the Miao border can be regarded as being forced to rebel by Zhai Mu. At that time, my aunt had a premonition that Zhao Changhe If you can’t bear it, it won’t matter who’s name you use.”

"..."

"One thing to say, this guy has always said that he is more inclined to rebel against thieves. He has never concealed it, but he still has the patience to fight barbarians and cults. It is hard to ask for more." Tang Buqi sighed. Tone: "It's just that my dream that I thought was about to come true suddenly became disillusioned, and I don't know how to deal with it in the future."

Xuan Chong twitched the corner of his mouth, how to deal with it? Why do you say this as if Mr. Tang has been eaten up and wiped clean...

Tang Buqi took a sip of wine and sighed: "I don't think she has the mind to think about the southwest now. This summer, the papering is going on, and suddenly water leaks everywhere, and the papering can no longer move."

Xuan Chong knew what he was talking about. Tang Buqi went to Beijing this time just for this matter.

The imperial concubine Huang Fuqing and the Queen Wang collaborated for the first time and jointly promoted one thing: abolishing the canal and reforming the sea.

This is the most important part of the cooperation project between the Four Symbols Sect and the Wang family. After a year of plotting and the wooing and exchange of countless officials behind the scenes, the court meeting has finally been promoted today.

The food and clothing of millions of Cao workers depends on it, and it is almost foreseeable how the Cao Gang will react.

The Cao Gang is not a simple gang. It is associated with countless official forces along the water transportation route. In fact, this is not only the Cao Gang that is going to be in trouble, but it is also something that countless officials are going to oppose. It has shaken Daxia. The foundation of domination.

But there are several subtleties in this matter.

First of all, in the long run, shipping is a good thing and something that must be done sooner or later. Overseas exploration has always been suggested by people of insight. If this happened during the heyday of Daxia, and if coordination was done with water transportation, it would not necessarily harm the interests of water transportation, and everyone could coexist.

It's a pity that at such a precarious time, he was pushed hard again, and Huangfu Qing deliberately made things worse, so the result was naturally unlikely to be so ideal.

Secondly, this matter is beneficial to the Tang family. The Tang family themselves are also a wealthy coastal family... The Tang family actually agrees with this matter.

Now Tang Wanzhuang is having a huge headache. Outside, she and Huangfu Qing were **** for tat every day, and the fight almost broke out. As a result, when she returned home, everyone from the old man to the old lady to other clan members were secretly urging her to agree. Tang Wan was wearing a lot of make-up and hair, and he couldn't even leave the house recently.

Tang Buqi went to Beijing because the Tang family had been in a quarrel recently. As an important figure in the southeast, of course he had to attend the family meeting and discuss it. What's more, Caobang Wan Dongliu is still his friend, which makes his mood even more complicated.

Of course Tang Buqi didn't know that Wan Dongliu was a disciple of the Four Elephants and wanted to rebel. This move only forced his father Wan Tianxiong to make up his mind.

Tang Buqi didn't know that it was Zhao Changhe who suggested this to Huangfu Qing, otherwise he might lose all his views.

"Sir, is this really a case brought by Zhao Changhe?" In the villa of the capital of Sixiang Sect where Zhao Changhe once stayed, Xia Chichi asked in disbelief the venerable face covered with firebirds in front of him: "This kind of chaos How could it be possible that he was the one who proposed the plan?"

Zhuque crossed his legs in a good mood and leaned lazily on the soft couch: "What, you know him very well? No matter what, he is still the fire pig of our Sixiang classroom. Is there anything strange about helping the Holy Cult with suggestions?" ”

Xia Chichi muttered: "He wasn't a pig at that time...it was the coquettish imperial concubine who turned him into a pig."

A certain coquettish concubine's good mood was almost gone. She glanced at her apprentice up and down, thinking about finding a book for her to copy.

But I have to marvel in my heart that this girl's talent is really good... In fact, ever since she was able to handle the two elephants of the Blue Dragon and White Tiger at the same time, I knew that her talent was better than myself and Sanniang. But Suzaku never thought that if she was allowed to go overseas to practice for such a long time, she would actually be on the verge of a second secret.

How old is she...

However, the shock was soon overturned by the announcement from the Book of Troubled Times. That little man had actually broken through the second level and surpassed Chi Chi.

This is a **** miracle. Although Zhao Changhe is older than Chi Chi, how long has he been practicing? Suzaku felt that this was beyond her understanding of martial arts, and any outsider would have been caught and sliced ​​into pieces by her...

However, this was Zhao Changhe, so his mood changed to "My man is awesome."

Then looking at his disciple in front of him, he didn't like everything.

As a result, Xia Chichi continued to express her understanding of Zhao Changhe: "Changhe definitely did not offer this strategy just for rebellion. There must be other explanations. He probably thought that this would be a beneficial direction. , can be coordinated with the Cao Gang...but the current situation can be used to force Wan Tianxiong to rebel."

Suzaku looked at her sideways and said after a while: "Yes, you are right."

Xia Chichi felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere...she shrank and stopped talking.

Zhuque didn’t know how to find her pigtails. He couldn’t tell her to move her left foot first, so he had to say: "? Mo Shuo? You just came back from going to sea. Why are you asking so many questions? Or tell me what you discovered overseas." ."

“There are people living overseas, but they are not other races or civilizations as we originally imagined. They are just Xia people who escaped war in the early years and went out to make a living... They also believe in the sea god, but it is difficult to determine whether it is because there is such a **** or demon, or The seaside people spontaneously formed their belief in gods due to their reverence for the waves."

If Zhao Changhe hears this, he will be more sure of his worldview.

A pure Chinese-like fantasy world, not an Earth-like civilization, without Ocean Horses.

This may be a relatively meaningful discovery for Zhao Changhe, but it is of no use to the Four Symbols Sect. Xia Chichi went to sea this time, firstly to sharpen his Qinglong intention, and secondly to investigate the Hai clan and prepare for the upcoming fall out with the Wang family. However, the first item was completed very well, but the second item was nothing.

Of course, Xia Chichi didn’t go far away, and it was impossible for the Four Symbols Sect to allow their saint to travel a few months or two years away. What if there was an accident? So if you can't find any clues, be mentally prepared.

First things first, Suzaku had no intention of finding trouble for the moment. He frowned and thought for a while, then whispered to himself: "It is very important to know yourself and your enemy... Wang Daoning is not afraid of me, but that Yin Qi at that time... If We can't fall out with the Wang family rashly without understanding the so-called Hai Clan thing behind it."

Xia Chichi laughed "Pfft": "Now in the king's court, there is a great Xia Zhongliang. He retreated from Helei and fought against Maitreya. He was unjustly imprisoned before he came out. He traveled thousands of miles to suppress the Miao rebellion. I was so moved that I almost cried... Respected "Tell me, will the Wang family simply follow this route and not go the other way..."

Knowing that she was joking, Suzaku still replied seriously: "The Wang family can't go back. Just four words in the book of troubled times, 'Desire to make an alliance with the black seedlings,' turned all the seemingly loyal and virtuous actions in the king's way into a joke, as long as Anyone who is not stupid knows why Wang Daozhong went to the southwest... If the Wang family could only be regarded as "revealing" before, after all, they did not really pull the flag, and they could still pretend to be deaf and dumb in the court, but this time they really can't. Go down. Tang Wanzhuang secretly met with Xia Longyuan last night and stated that he must take a preemptive strike to wipe out the Wang family's influence in the court."

"The noble concubine knows all this? Then Xia...what did Xia Longyuan say?"

Suzaku said with a straight face: "I don't know."

Xia Chichi pursed her lips and whispered to herself: "It is indeed a book of troubled times... In other words, no matter whether the abolition of Cao can be implemented or whether the Cao Gang will rebel, the Wang family will definitely rebel. Li Shentong captured Bashu, Xiang Simeng managed the Miao territory, and behind Wan Tianxiong's rise in Jianghuai was our Sixiang Sect... The Jiangnan separatism caused by Maitreya has not yet been resolved, the world is on fire, and Tang Dynasty makeup can no longer be framed... This is the beginning of real trouble."

Her tone was a bit sad and complicated.

Suzaku looked at her sideways, feeling a little complicated.

If she turns out to be a true princess, this feeling is indeed inhumane.

She suddenly wanted to know how Zhao Changhe felt when he stepped out of Bashu, which was secluded from information, and saw that the world had become like this.

"What would he think?" Xia Chichi was also whispering.

Suzaku sighed: "You will know soon."

Xia Chichi looked up at the Venerable in astonishment, only to see Zhuque smile slightly: "If you want to see him, just wait here. If I am not wrong, he will definitely come to the capital next."
