179 Who is the master of the ups and downs
Nangong Hongye snorted coldly, "But the little book boy is arrogant, please tell me."
Xu Tianran said in a deep voice: "There are rumors in Chang'an that there are monsters causing trouble and causing harm to Chang'an. These rumors come from the rumors created by officials of the Right Prime Minister faction. Not to mention the common people, even the wise King of Tang is afraid of rumors. Three people become tigers. Now
The right prime minister confirmed the rumors in order to take action against the left prime minister, and the breakthrough point was the commander of the Beiya Imperial Army. Nowadays, the temple kings hang out in the harem, the right prime minister has exclusive power, and does everything possible to exclude dissidents. The general's palace is at the forefront, and any oversight will be
He will fall into a situation that is beyond redemption. But, General, is this the Young Master’s fault?"
Xu Tianran's words made Nangong Hongye's eyes light up. He thought that the book boy who was just leading Bai'er around had such an insight and was a talent. Naturally, Nangong Hongye knew that all this was not Bai'er's fault, but in the whirlpool of the temple,
There is no right or wrong, only victory or defeat.
After listening to Xu Tianran's words, Nangong Qianbai knew all these truths. Nowadays, it is rare that his father is willing to listen to Xu Tianran's words calmly and strike while the iron is hot: "Dad, actually I understand the truth. You think we are fooling around, but we have been investigating Xuandu."
Look, this universal festival is definitely a big conspiracy. If we can't know the countermeasures in advance, I'm afraid it will not only be a disaster for the Nangong family, but also a disaster for millions of people in Chang'an."
Nangong Hongye looked at his inexperienced son. The flowers that had been growing in the greenhouse of the General's Mansion actually bloomed into sonorous roses. For the first time, Nangong Hongye took a serious look at his only son who had never grown up in his eyes.
and two book boys of unknown origin.
Nangong Hongye asked in a deep voice: "Who are you two?"
Xu Tianran replied calmly: "We are banished immortals, here to save the common people."
Wu Qingfeng held back his laughter. Although the man named Xu was telling the truth, who could believe him?
Xu Tianran thought of Yan Lingbin's words. It's up to him to believe it or not, but Xu Tianran was indeed vaguely aware of the changes in Chang'an. It seemed that a dangerous aura was quietly approaching. He needed more help. Even Nangong Hongye, who was involved in the situation, could not help him.
If we can't help each other, how can we win?
Nangong Hongye's eyes widened, "Are you the two people who crashed in Jianfu Temple?"
Nangong Hongye is the commander of the Sixth Army of Beiya, so he naturally knows what happened at Jianfu Temple. The whereabouts of the two banished immortals who fell from the sky are unknown. Unexpectedly, they are hiding in his own home. Maybe they really came to save Chang'an. There is a sense of crisis.
Nangong Hongye had smelled it long ago. Originally, the Putian Dajiao was his own Sixth Army of Bei Ya defending the king, but it was temporarily replaced by the South Ya Forbidden Army. Things became more and more strange.
Nangong Hongye has always thought that people who are not of my race must have different minds. Yaluoshan is a Turk, how can he become a general of the Tang Dynasty, and control half of the forces guarding the capital. The Beiya Forbidden Army guards the palace city and Chang'an.
The most elite force in the city, and although the Nanya Forbidden Army has more people, it guards Nancheng. Its equipment and strength are far inferior to that of the Beiya Forbidden Army. However, Nangong Hongye once sent someone to secretly inquire and heard that Yaluoshan was among the Nanya Forbidden Army.
The prestige in the Tang Dynasty was very high, and General Hu was reused. Now the Nanya imperial army seems to only listen to the orders of the generals of Yaluoshan and not the orders of the king of Tang Dynasty.
Nangong Hongye thought carefully and was extremely frightened. If the Nanya Forbidden Army rebelled, Chang'an City would probably be a bloody storm. No matter how strong the Sixth Army of the Beiya was, it would be inferior in number to the Nanya Twelve Guards. Ruoyao Mountain really won the hearts of the Nanya Forbidden Army.
, Once there is civil strife in Chang'an, the Tang Dynasty will be in danger.
Nangong Qianbai thought for a moment and said shocking words, "Dad, after several deductions by me and them, Putian Dajiao will point the conflict directly at the General's Mansion. Once you are defeated, Prime Minister Lin will lose the Sixth Army of Beiya
He was just a helpless scholar, but he was helpless when he encountered the unreasonable soldiers. And half a year ago, the purpose of the sneak attack on Suzaku Street was already obvious, which was to create rumors.
Rumors
, let me become the enemy of the entire Chang'an. If dad protects me, the entire general government will be guilty. Even if dad abandons me, dad will be transferred to the post soon, and if nothing happens, he will be in vain.
With a false title of civil servant, when Prime Minister Li’s cronies take over the position of commander of the Beiya Imperial Guards, the consequences will be really disastrous."
Nangong Hongye's hands holding the tea cup were trembling a little. He was just a martial artist. Although he sensed that the danger was approaching, he didn't expect that the danger was so close to him and so turbulent. Once Li Fulin's plan succeeded, he would lose his official status.
Even if the whole family is wiped out, Chang'an may really be doomed.
Xu Tianran added: "This is what we have deduced over the past few months. Although we cannot say that we are 100% sure, but based on information from many aspects, there is a 70% to 80% chance that the right prime minister will use the Putian Jiao to exterminate the Nangong family."
Nangong Hongye's anger sank into his dantian, he calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Is there any countermeasure?"
Nangong Qianbai shook his head and said calmly: "If you can't know the opponent's overall plan, you can't formulate a counterattack strategy. However, the key breakthroughs now are Xuandu Temple and Yaluo Mountain. Xuandu Temple is definitely involved. I heard that it has been in retreat for many years.
The Taoist Xiaoyao who came out of seclusion is the only person in the world who can break through the mirror and ascend. Taoist Xiaoyao is good at Taoist formations, so his connection with his coming out of seclusion must be profound. Now the entire Xuandu Temple is extremely well-defended, difficult to penetrate, and can be overwhelmed.
Naoshan appeared in Xuandu Temple several times. If the detailed plan can be found out, the evidence of their conspiracy can be brought to heaven. How can the Tang King tolerate Li Fulin, Liu Guozhong and others extending their hands to the Imperial Army and Xuandu?
Look, this is how we have a chance to overthrow the traitor Li Fulin."
Nangong Hongye knew that this might be the only way, but it was extremely difficult to do it. He sighed: "If we can't obtain evidence of the crime, are we going to arrest him without mercy?"
Qianbai's eyes flashed brightly and said: "My child has his own way to resolve critical situations. I hope dad can rest assured."
Xu Tianran and Wu Qingfeng turned their backs with sad expressions on their faces, because they knew that in a desperate situation, Qianbai could only save Nangong by committing suicide. After understanding his own life, he would no longer have any leverage to be caught by Li Fulin.
Hong Ye's position allowed the strength to resist the right prime minister to be preserved.
As for this final decision, Qianbai did not allow Xu Tianran and Wu Qingfeng to mention it to anyone. Behind the prosperity and prosperity of the huge Chang'an City was a crisis. What the people were thinking about was how to earn a few more dollars and rent better properties.
Houses, they can eat more meat once or twice a month, and temples are too high for the common people. Although they are the biggest victims once disaster strikes, sometimes their simplicity and short-sightedness can become the tools of evil people.
Destroy the beautiful days.
Lao Bai once said, there is no quiet time, but there are people to carry the burden forward for you. At that time, Xu Tianran did not expect that the rough old man, Lao Bai, could say such refined words, and was very surprised. But after walking through the world, he slowly
I slowly understood Lao Bai's words. In this world, country, and rivers and lakes, there are always people who are silently guarding me. If it weren't for those people, where would the peaceful years be?
The ignorance of the people has fallen into the hands of evildoers. Can we blame the people?
No, sir, he said that the world, temples, rivers and lakes are all chess games, everything in time is a chess piece, and the people are also chess pieces. How to place the chess pieces can influence the people's disfavor. Those in high positions should make careful decisions before taking action.
Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.
Who is in charge of the ups and downs of this huge world? In one word, he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world.
Nangong Hongye put down his elders' airs and bowed deeply to Qianbai and the two gold medal book boys, pleading: "I hope these two immortals can save Chang'an, save Tang State, and save the people."
Xu Tianran said softly: "Chang'an is the most beautiful Chang'an in everyone's heart. We will try our best to save Chang'an from the fire and water. I have something to ask for."
Nangong Hongye said sincerely: "I agree."
Xu Tianran was flattered and said slowly: "Tomorrow let Wu Qingfeng get the Imperial Army fish bag and sneak into the palace to find out the news. I will mainly go to Xuandu Temple to find out the news. If I know their plan of action, I can take the lead."
Nangong Hongye nodded in agreement, changed his previous attitude, and praised: "Young people are scary, the future of Chang'an is bright, it's time for us old men to withdraw gradually."
Nangong Qianbai's eyes were hot. He never thought that one day he would be able to fight side by side with his father. As the ancient saying goes, father and son go into battle. Father and son should work hand in hand. The Nangong family is not Nangong Hongye's Nangong, nor is Nangong Qianbai's Nangong. They are
Common Nangong.
Qianbai's eyes glanced at the housekeeper who was quietly standing in the corner. For the first time in this house, he showed off the young master's aura and said in a deep voice: "Today's matter is top secret and cannot be leaked. If anyone
Anyone who leaks secrets will be severely punished."
Xu Tianran and Wu Qingfeng nodded naturally. The housekeeper was lost for a moment and said quickly: "My wealth and life are all in the general's mansion, and I will never say a word to anyone outside."
Nangong Hongye suddenly realized that the burden on his shoulders was lighter. It turned out that Bai'er had grown up and could share the burden.
Qian Bai led Xu Tianran and Wu Qingfeng back to Luntai Tower. The housekeeper looked at the young master meaningfully and then returned to the house. He sat there in a daze, as confused as an ant on a hot pot.
The housekeeper has served Nangong Hongye for more than thirty years. Seeing that the general started from a young age and spent half his life ups and downs in officialdom before reaching his current high position, he worked hard and devoted everything he had to the Nangong family, but he just wanted the general to absorb his son into the Bei Ya Forbidden Army.
Looking for a good future. Unexpectedly, the general refused flatly, saying that his son was greedy for money and afraid of death, and was not suitable for joining the army. If he wanted to start a small business, the general was willing to invest in buying a shop in the West Market so that he could have a living.
Later, Yaluoshan personally found the housekeeper and let his son join the Nanya Forbidden Army. The housekeeper had been running the business for decades, and he had already looked down on money. Although the remaining wealth in his hand was not a millionaire, it was enough for the rest of the family's life.
The housekeeper has been in Chang'an for decades, and he knows that Chang'an is not the Chang'an of the common people, but the Chang'an of the dignitaries. If he wants to truly appreciate the beauty of Chang'an, he must climb the official career. However, his son is not the material to study, otherwise he can also participate in the imperial examination. If
Promising generals are also willing to recommend them. Naturally, they have a bright future. However, if the imperial examination is not available, there is still a way to join the army. Children of officials in the capital, if they are not the seedlings of Jinshi, will mostly enter the Forbidden Army. If the road is well paved, they can also stand firm in Chang'an City.
Heel, then future generations will no longer have to work as hard as me and be slaves.
The housekeeper was struggling in his heart. He had betrayed the general's palace. If he hadn't found out the clues about the young master's eye disease in the palace and sent out the information that his wife and the young master went to Jianfu Temple to offer incense, Yaluoshan would not have used the original horse overnight.
The powerful horse that came to assassinate the general was used to sneak attack on the lady.
The news about Young Master Bai Mu spread throughout Chang'an City. The steward had made great achievements, and his son was successfully promoted to the sixth rank Zhenwei Captain. Finally, he had an official in his family.
The steward's palms, forehead, and back were covered with sweat. He didn't expect that Yaluoshan not only wanted to seize power from the general, but also wanted the general's life. How could the general be willing to kill the young master, otherwise he wouldn't be able to do it in the past twenty years?
He would take good care of the young master, and he began to regret it a little. The general was kind to him, but he didn't expect that his greed would harm the entire general's mansion.
The housekeeper glanced at Chang'an outside the window. It was really difficult for a small person to live in Chang'an.
What the housekeeper didn't know was that the young master and the two gold medal book boys had already been quietly hiding on the roof, waiting for the moment the housekeeper stepped out of the door. A small threshold would turn him into a devil in one step.
