Chapter 225 Undercurrent
After this battle, there was a great celebration in the capital. The emperor hosted a banquet for hundreds of officials, and the temples and markets were all bustling with activity.
Chen Tang became famous in one battle and naturally became the protagonist of the banquet.
Some officials came forward to express their congratulations. During the banquet, they exchanged glasses and exchanged cups.
Of course, the vast majority of officials still treat Chen Tang with a relatively cautious attitude, neither cold nor indifferent, and seem to have some scruples.
The conflict between Chen Tang and the Xuantian Sect is not a secret among the government and the public.
In the eyes of some officials, this Chen Tang might just be a pawn brought to the forefront by the emperor in order to fight for power with the Xuantian Sect.
If there is any trouble, it may be abandoned at any time.
More importantly, Chen Tang is not a top master-level expert who is indispensable.
The reason why he received such honors and promotions was just a coincidence, and various forces continued to add fuel to the flames, which finally allowed him to gain advantage and gain all his fame.
Chen Tang didn't pay much attention to other people's thoughts at the banquet.
He himself was unwilling to be an official in the temple.
It's really tiring to fight with these officials who have a hundred evil intentions all day long.
This trip to Beijing was just a coincidence. While avenging Changsun Ming, it was also a favor to Senior Brother Mingyuan.
Chen Tang was preoccupied with drinking heavily and eating large pieces of meat.
The wine in the palace is indeed not bad. Although it is not as good as Monkey Wine, it has a different taste.
After the banquet dispersed, Yuan Qingmo picked up Chen Tang and temporarily stayed at the Prince of Wei's Mansion.
Today, there is no curfew in Beijing.
Even at the third watch, the streets and markets in the capital are still brightly lit.
The General's Mansion.
"What do you think of today's events?"
In a dark room without any light, an old voice suddenly sounded.
"The emperor is a little impatient."
"Oh, what do you say?"
"The emperor is right. The source of many problems in the Qian Kingdom is indeed the Xuantian Sect. But he has no foundation. Less than half a year after taking the throne, he began to implement the New Deal."
"Every article of the New Deal can be called a benevolent government, which is good for the people. This emperor can also be called a wise king. But the New Deal also has another purpose, which is to weaken the influence of Xuantian Sect."
"Such as rectifying officialdom. During this period, the emperor arrested many people, all with unforgivable crimes, but most of these people had one characteristic..."
Speaking of this, the man paused slightly.
The old man continued: "Most of them believe in the Xuantian Sect."
"Not bad."
The man continued: "The emperor's most important purpose in establishing the Qilin Division is probably to use your hand to cleanse the people of the Xuantian Sect in the court. The first step is to start with the Sixiang Division."
"In the battle for the Qilin Ranking, it seems that the emperor has won a round, but in fact his situation has become more and more dangerous."
"The Xuantian Sect played the first role in the founding of the Qian Kingdom. The main reason why the people supported the people at the beginning was that Emperor Qian was selected by the True Dragon of the Xuantian Sect. This means that if the new emperor is not controlled, the Xuantian Sect will You can use the name of the real dragon to choose someone else.”
The old man asked: "Xuantian Church regicide?"
The man said: "The Xuantian Sect has such a bad reputation as regicide, so they may not do it because they are concerned about their reputation. But they have many ways to make the emperor lose popular support and reputation, and then use the hands of others to achieve their own goals."

"Do I want to be saved?"
"Then let's see what your senior wants to do. If you just want to be a loyal minister and save the emperor, you will definitely be able to be a very popular minister and enjoy all the glory in the future. But if senior wants to get involved in the world, there is no need. "Save." The old man asked: "What is the relationship between the two?"
"I have observed these days in Beijing that the current emperor is completely different from the old emperor in moodiness, cruelty and cruelty. Through the New Deal, we can see that he is indeed a benevolent king who cares about the people."
"Without the constraints of the Xuantian Sect, in less than ten years, the Qian Kingdom will be prosperous, the country will be stable, and the people will be stable. What chance will our predecessors have?"
The room fell into a long silence.
After a long time, the old man said again: "If the Xuantian Sect chooses someone else, there are only two candidates. One is King Qinghe who is imprisoned in the capital, and the other is the current prince. Neither of these two are benevolent masters."
"Oh?"
The man was a little surprised and asked: "The prince has been with the emperor since he was a child and suffered a lot outside. His temperament is different from that of the emperor?"
"The dragon gives birth to nine sons, each of whom is different."
The old man snorted softly: "It is said that he was normal when he first entered the capital, but during this period, Xu Shi's true nature was exposed and he became more and more lawless. I think his temperament is more like the late emperor."
The man said: "That's the best thing. The prince ascends the throne, the people are in dire straits, thieves rise up, and the world is in chaos. This is the opportunity for seniors."
"How is your contact with your old department going?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Contacted several Dragon and Tiger Guards, they are gathering around, there are more than 10,000 people. However, many of them are old and have little fighting ability."
"Continue to contact us. There are more people in the former dynasty than this."
……
Xuan Tian Guan.
late at night.
In the courtyard of the leader's palace, two figures were sitting at the table, drinking tea in front of the moon.
One of them is the leader of Xuantian, and the other is Taiwei Yu Wenmao!
Yu Wenmao asked: "Arhat is the fruit of Buddhism. The liger and tiger Arhat that the Holy One conferred today is probably trying to use the influence of Buddhism to suppress the Xuantian Sect."
"And I just heard that the Holy One wants to use this influence to compile a volume of the Great Cloud Precious Rain Sutra. While spreading the Dharma, it will be used to prove that he is the reincarnation of the Buddha, coming to the world to save all sentient beings."
Leader Xuantian frowned.
The emperor became more and more pushy.
The emperor of Qian Kingdom has always been appointed by the True Dragon of Xuantian Sect.
Yuan Qingshan's move seemed ordinary and seemed to be just to build momentum for himself. In fact, he wanted to use the influence of Buddhism to break free from the shackles of the True Dragon Emperor and get rid of the influence of Xuantian Sect on him!
Even if one day, Xuantian Sect says that the true dragon chooses someone else, Yuan Qingshan can still prove that he is the destiny.
Leader Xuantian said calmly: "I originally wanted to use the hands of the barbarians to destroy the Qilin Bang and teach him a lesson, but now it seems that I have underestimated him."
Yu Wenmao said: "Not only that, the new policies implemented by the Holy One during this period are probably also targeting the Xuantian Sect."
"For example, the rule of making laws and light punishments is superficially about light punishment and benevolent governance, but in fact the focus is on making laws. Re-revise the laws of the Qian Kingdom to target Xuantian's followers. In the future, Xuantian's followers who violate the law will also Punished by the court ”
Leader Xuantian smiled, shook his head and said: "I have just been on the throne and I am so eager to take action against Xuantian. I am really overestimating my own capabilities. It is like shaking a tree like a worm! It seems that the old emperor did not teach him not to provoke Xuantian." Teach.”
"If you want to fight with me, then I will play with him."
"What's the plan?"
"The emperor implements benevolent government and wants to win the hearts and minds of the people, then I will make him lose the hearts and minds of the people!"
"What if he still refuses to give in?"
"Then replace him."
