There were many people who had the same idea as Yuan Jie. Suddenly, the Xu family began to become lively. Almost every day, all kinds of people posted to pay their respects, but were ruthlessly turned away.

Xu You was like invisible. Except for occasionally entering the palace to visit Xu Shunhua, who was getting bigger and bigger, he basically did not appear in any public place.

No one knew his true thoughts, and even Yuan Jie's tentative inquiry did not receive a positive answer from Xu You.

However, it seems that under the influence of some kind of force, the public opinion in Jinling changed drastically in just over a dozen days. The censors of the Censorate did not need Zhang Ji to instigate him, and crazily launched impeachment under the smell of blood. The target targets of officials at all levels of the three provinces and six ministries, including Xie Xiwen and others, were very likely to capture the court in one go.

What was discussed on the streets was also the scandal of the prime ministers and important officials who were jealous of the virtuous and capable. General Xu, who used troops like a god and loved the people as much as his son, did not use it, and fought for power and profit, forcing him to lose his official position. Instead, Di Xia, who was full of talent, led his troops to attack Shu. A general was incompetent and exhausted the three armies. How many heroes in Jiangdong were sprinkled among the mountains and ridges of Bashu?

Then Xu You's actions during this period were also revealed. The dignified general was willing to be a small millet urging envoy and went to the fields of Wu County to check the rice, just to make the people full and not starve anymore.

This has made a wave of soft and wider for Chameng rice. Some prefectures and counties in Yangzhou have already traded grain to visit and inspect. It is said that everyone is excited and they are optimistic about the development of Chameng rice.

All these things eventually turned into thunderous shouts:

Xu You didn’t come out, so why would the people live!

The battle reports on the front line were sent like flowing water. Zhang Huai retreated all the way east, day and night, and only barely gained a foothold when approaching Yiling. Then he keenly noticed that the Tianshidao Forefront Army was chasing more than ten fighting ships left the entire queue. Not only did he protrude forward too deeply, but he could not take into account both the head and tail. He immediately set up an ambush with his plans, took advantage of the wind direction and rushed out with dozens of small boats loaded with firewood, ignited the raging fire, burned these enemy ships, severely destroyed the enemy's aura, and delayed their pursuit.

Tan Xiaozu ordered Dan Tai Douxing to lead 20,000 Jingzhou troops to arrive at Yiling at the same time, and meet with Zhang Huai and Jiang Ziyan. The joining of the new force scared Wei Chang'an away. Both sides once again used Yiling as the boundary to maintain the peace before the storm.

The court immediately ordered Dan Tai Douxing to be responsible for the defense of Yiling, and Zhang Huai and Jiang Ziyan took their troops back to Beijing for investigation.

On April 17, the defeated soldiers returned to Jinling. When they set out to fight, only more than 40,000 soldiers returned home alive, with more than half of them losing money, especially the central army killed and injured the most. White banners were hung in almost every village in Jinling and even the surrounding counties and counties. The sound of women and children crying all night long, and relatives can be heard.

After Di Xia died, Zhang Huai became a scapegoat and was removed from office and placed under house arrest. He was considered a little decent and allowed him to write a memorial to defend himself. Jiang Ziyan was temporarily suspended and returned to his hometown to wait for the participation.

After a detailed investigation, the Third Division summoned nearly 100 generals at all levels below the army commander. Combined with Zhang Huai and Jiang Ziyan's argument, it took five days to draw the final conclusion.

Di Xia was arrogant, refused to listen to advice, underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, and blindly divided the troops. He mistakenly set aside Jiangxi and Jiangdong two camps in Fu County, giving the thief the opportunity to take advantage of it. However, when he was assassinated, he was also considered to have sacrificed his life for the country, and he took away the scepter and the title of the general, and no other crimes were held accountable.

Although Zhang Huai suggested that Di Xia attack Chengdu from the outside water, as the military deputy, he failed to convince the military commander and failed to turn the tide in the battle of Fu County, which led to great defeat. Ignoring that he led the remaining troops to break through, retained his vital strength, and gave his grace outside the law, removed the position of General Guard and Governor of Jiangzhou, and demoted to General Zhechong, and continued to follow the command in the army.

After Jiang Ziyan divided his troops in Jiangcheng, he attacked Dongjiang and Jianwei counties. He performed well and frequently won the victory. He made a decision at the moment to defend Jiangcheng and responded to Zhang Huai. He had made contributions but no faults. He was specially ordered to be promoted to the former general, ranked third rank, and was granted the title of the marquis of the town, with a fief of 700 households.

Because Di Xia, recommended by Xie Xiwen, was unaware of the knowledge of others, he resigned himself and was rejected by the emperor. He was fined only for two years, which was considered an explanation. The rest were also punished and rewarded, the treasury was full, and the court was not stingy with pensions. The families of the soldiers who died in battle were well settled, and the people's emotions were initially comforted, but they did not cause too much turmoil.

That night, the emperor arrived at Xu's Mansion.

"Qilang, you have to help your brother-in-law..." An Xiulin grabbed Xu You's hand, and spoke sincerely and urgently. After vomiting blood last time, his health was not very good, and his spirit was no longer as good as before. He always felt tired when dealing with political affairs. In recent days, due to the aftermath of Yizhou's defeat in Yizhou, he couldn't sleep well, his face drooped, and his face looked even more tired.

"Brother-in-law, I dare not bear it! To the country, you are the king, I am the minister, to the family, you are the brother-in-law and my elder. Whether it is a country or a family, I should do my best to do my best. How can I help or not?"

An Xiulin said with relief: "It's our own family that we don't speak the two families. Qilang, the defeat of Yizhou is my fault. I shouldn't listen to the slander of the court officials, so you will refuse the general. War is a major event in the country and a place of life and death. No famous general cannot control it. If you lead the army, instead of Di Xia, how could the lives of 40,000 great men be ruined?"

As he spoke, he felt regretful and regretful. He was very tolerant and caring for the ministers who had been by his side since Linchuan, and his feelings for Di Xia were deeper than others. He died in Yizhou this time, and he hated him for letting him down and sending him to a dead end. If Di Xia stayed honestly in Jinling, wouldn’t such a tragedy be avoided?

Xu You comforted her a few words, An Xiulin calmed down and said, "I came tonight to ask Qilang to surrender to the position of general again and lead his troops to attack the rebels in Yizhou."

Xu You hesitated: "Brother-in-law, you know that I have no foundation in the court and rely entirely on my brother-in-law's trust to do some small things for the country. However, this also caused the two Pushe and Yu Liu family to resign and reopen, there were many discussions on things, which inevitably made my brother-in-law embarrassed..."

"I will no longer allow those rotten woods who only know how to talk about war on paper to frame you, and relax! Qilang, I am going to give you the right to be loyal to the rituals. Those who violate military laws can be killed first and then reported. In addition to the general, you will also be the leader general, and all the troops in China and abroad will be obeyed."

Last time Xu You became the general, he was just a loyal person. This time, in order to appease him, An Xiulin directly gave his ministers the greatest power they could control outside.

However, keeping integrity is only a privilege in wartime and must be taken back after the war, but the generals in the leading army are different.

The imperial army had six armies in total. The leading general was the leader of the six armies and was also called Duanrong. Duanrong of Chu was An Zishang. He was the leading general as a royal family. In theory, the central army, foreign army and county soldiers of various prefectures were all under his control. Now he was handed over to Xu You. In other words, there was no need to add the title of "Governor Jing, Jiang, Liang, Yan, Qing, Xu, Yu, Yang, and the military inside and outside the eight prefectures" to legally mobilize all the troops of the twenty-two states of the Great Chu.

This is not trust, but the royal luck in Xu You!

Xu You was about to refuse, An Xiulin stood up, knelt on the cushion, and said, "Did Qilang ask me to beg you?"

He made a gesture to bow and salute, but Xu You hurriedly stopped him, took a few steps, bowed his head to thank him, and said, "Please give me three months. If you are not upholding Yizhou, I will not return to Beijing!"

On the second day, Yuan Jie, who was instructed by the emperor, took the lead in submitting the letter and recommended Xu You as the general and was fully responsible for the war in Yizhou. Then Yuan Can, Zhang Ji, Gu Yun, Gu Huaiming, Zhu Yi and other Beijing officials, as well as local governors such as Tan Xiaozu, Zhu Li, Ye Min, Zuo Qi, Han Baoqing, etc., all submitted a letter to ask Xu You to come out.

Xie Xiwen wanted to resist, but he was summoned to the palace to have a long chat with the emperor all night. When he left the palace, he looked as if he was dead. He went home and wrote a memorial, and he reluctantly agreed.

Without Xie Tietou in front of him, Yu and Liu Shunfeng turned the rudder and praised Xu You very much, as if Xu You really couldn't come out, but what about the people?

This is not funny, this is reality!

Xie Xiwen went through a lot of hardships to join forces with all forces, and finally suppressed Xu You's momentum, but with the defeat of Yizhou, all plans became a mirror and a silly scene. Xu You's understatement not only returned to the court, but even took a step further and replaced An Zishang as Duanrong of Chu.

The gain is not worth the loss!

Xie Xiwen began to examine the process of Xu You's rise, as if every concession he gave in would usher in a more intense rebound soon. If this was the time and fate, he would probably never be able to form an effective check and balance again.

The emperor always said that I will not let Xu You down, and Xu You will not let me down. Then I hope that Xu You will indeed be as humble, loyal, generous and kind as he showed.

Perhaps, that's all!

During the scattering court, Xu You was surrounded by people. He smiled and responded. Suddenly, he separated the crowd and walked towards Xie Xiwen in the distance. Many of the court officials stopped and pretended to look at him secretly.

If the two are not in harmony, everyone knows that they will start fighting?

Duanrong heard that after entering the second level of martial arts, Xie Pushe would not be the opponent, and he would probably lose face.

"Brother Xuanhui, you and I will work together again. I am very happy to say that in my heart. If I offend you in the past, I hope that the country will be the first priority in everything. Don't worry about me. Pingyizhou cannot do without your support!"

"I should apologize to Duanrong if the generals and ministers are in harmony and the world is at peace. All the past has passed. Pingyizhou is the first priority. Duanrong is safe. I will definitely not disappoint you if I should do what I should do."

The ministers did not see the good show and scattered in a hurry.

General's Mansion.

"I'm here a few days later, and I haven't congratulated Duanrong yet. Please forgive me!" Yuan Qingqi was ordered to enter the capital to explain the "Shangqing Dadong Jing" to the emperor. After preaching, he came to the General's Mansion to pay homage to Xu You, and couldn't help but make fun of him.

Xu You smiled and said, "Yuan Jun is joking. You are not my subordinate. You have a noble status. How can I forgive you?"

"Oh? I'm really blamed me for being late..." Yuan Qingqi held his cheek with his hand, tilted his head to look at Xu You, showing a playful and rogue look, and said, "Don't think I'm Yuan Jun now, I'm just an ordinary little girl. How do Duanrong punish me?"

"Well!" Xu You is a married man. He can't always be teased by Yuan Qingqi like before, and pretends to be serious: "There is no need for punishment. Yuan Jun has been frequently traveling to Kuanglu Mountain recently, but is he discussing the Taoist god map with Zhenren Ning?"

Although Zhan Wenjun has temporarily retreated behind the scenes during this period, under the control of the Winter Solstice, the secret palace is still running at full capacity. Therefore, Xu You knows Yuan Qingqi's dynamics clearly.

"My marriage man is really boring!" Seeing that Xu You didn't respond, Yuan Qingqi also curled his smile, sat upright like a fairy, and said, "Yes, I exchanged views with Zhenren Ning and decided to work together to determine the candidates for the God Map, but there are still problems in some aspects..."

“What’s the problem?”

Xu You actually knew it well. Later generations Tao Hongjing wrote the "True Spirit Position and Karma Map". In order to attack the Tao of Heaven, Lao Tzu, who was honored as the supreme god, was demoted to the fourth level. Yuan Qingqi established another Huangting Sect, so he would naturally regard Yuanshi Tianzu as the supreme god. Even if he did not belittle Lao Tzu, he could only be included in the second level.

But Ning Xuangu's intention was to reform the Taoist Taoist Tianshi, but he did not part ways with the Taoist Tianshi. He would definitely respect me as the supreme god. The conflict between the two was almost irreconcilable.

"Our sect wants to respect Yuanshi Tianzun as the God Lord, but Zhenren Ning still wants to respect Laojun..."

Xu You thought for a while and said, "You are willing to use the Gods and Immortals to trade with Ning Zhenren. Are you planning to ask him to compile the Daocangle to include the "Shangqing Da Cave True Sutra", "Huangting Inner Scene" and "Yunzhuan Immortal Book" of your sect in the three caves?"

Ning Xuangu compiled the "Daozang" and took three caves and four auxiliary categories as the basic categories, among which three caves are the cave real, the cave Xuan and the cave god. They are the principles and regulations of Taoism. The Xuanzong of Taixu and the first sutra of the Supreme Saint have always been the most important.

You should know that the origin of the Taoist scriptures is very complicated. Many Taoist scriptures that were named as the Golden Rules by later generations had only one volume at the beginning, and then they were added one after another by later generations during the spread process. You add one volume, I add one volume, and when the final draft was finalized, it even expanded to more than one hundred volumes.

Of course, no one admitted that this was a collective creation for everyone. They had to rely on the gods named in the sky to make the Taoist scriptures appear noble. Before the Wei and Jin Dynasties, I was the first scapegoat, and the Taoist scriptures edited by the editor were the most complicated.

Although Yuan Qingqi was granted the emperor's imperial edict, it was only a recognition from the rule level. If these three sutras of Huang Tingzong could enter the Cave True Division of the Three Caves, which means that at the Taoist level, Yuan Qingqi's historical status of being passed down by gods and spreading Dharma on earth.

Both are indispensable.

Yuan Qingqi was not surprised by Xu You's supernatural powers, so he nodded and said, "When the Taoist Tibetan of Ning Zhenren is born, who is the orthodox Taoist sect in the world will be decided by him in one sentence. I must obtain enough chips for Huang Tingzong before this, otherwise, I will definitely be controlled by others in the future..."

"But you can't give up the position of the Divine Lord to me. In this way, Yuanshi Tianzun is inferior to me, and Huang Tingzong will always be inferior to the Heavenly Master Dao?"

"Yes! That's the problem, I haven't thought of a solution yet!"

Xu You smiled and said, "I heard that my body is in line with the way of heaven, and one qi turns into the Three Pure One, so the gods of heaven and earth regard the Three Pure Ones as the supreme. These three Pure Ones are the Qingwei Tianshi Tianzun in Yuqing Realm, the Lingbao Tianzun in Shangqing Realm, the Dahei Tianzun in Taiqing Realm, and the Dahei Tianzun in Taiqing Realm, and the Dahei Tianzun in Dahei Tianzun in Taiqing Realm, and the Dahei Tianzun in Dahei Tian is the reincarnation of Lao Tzu. In this way, the Three Pure Ones are listed as the Lord of God, which can resolve the conflict between you and Zhenren Ning!"

Yuan Qingqi's beautiful eyes lit up. Looking at his posture, he seemed to tie Xu You back to Huangtingzong and become the treasure of the sect.
Chapter completed!
