Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1322 1 Inch Lovesickness Continuation 11

Jiang Xinxin had no interest in knowing about the lawsuit between Zuo Qingci and Su Yunluo. After Emperor Ai learned the inside story, he just felt that Yan Zhi was finally not alone anymore.

However, the situation in the court deteriorated rapidly. Marquis Weining forged a secret letter between Marquis Jing'an and the Guzi people, falsely accusing him of treason. Emperor Xiaoming personally argued with him but to no avail. Marquis Jing'an had to take off his armor and go to the Ministry of Justice prison, and the key point of the dispute between the two sides instantly became the ownership of the Jingbei Army.

Emperor Ai immediately expressed his thoughts: "The affiliation of the Jingbei Army is not something I can participate in the decision-making at the moment, and I can't afford to support the Jingbei Army."

Emperor Ai wanted to regain the throne. Didn't he know the importance of military power?

Obviously it is impossible.

However, to seize military power, we must also see what the current situation is. Marquis Weining is also a military marquis who controls a large army. He also contributed to the ascension of Emperor Ai. Although Marquis Weining's idea is the same as his purpose in supporting Emperor Xiaoming later, now the court has two armies at the disposal of Marquis Weining. The most important thing right now is the affiliation of the Jingbei Army in the northwest.

Emperor Ai continued to tell Jiang Xinxin about his thoughts: "The Jingbei Army will definitely not fall into the hands of Marquis Weining. Even if the Jingbei Army is really taken by Marquis Weining, it will eventually be spit out in the same form."

"Not to mention that Emperor Xiaoming did not allow Marquis Weining to command the three armies alone, even Marquis Weining's own ministers were not necessarily happy to see Marquis Weining rise from a powerful minister second only to the emperor in one fell swoop."

"People who gather because of profit will naturally disperse because of profit."

"Especially since Marquis Weining's intention to become emperor is becoming more and more obvious, I am sure there are always some people under his command who are unwilling to take risks, or who simply endure and preserve their strength, and will take the opportunity to leave with a big banner."

Jiang Xinxin pointed out a key point with great interest: "It is true that what you said makes sense, but how can you be sure that Marquis Weining will definitely lose to Emperor Xiaoming?"

Emperor Ai knew that Jiang Xinxin was testing him seriously, so he didn't hide anything and said directly, "Since ancient times, it has been very rare for powerful ministers to successfully usurp the throne. The only one or two examples were because the royal family itself had problems first."

"Emperor Xiaoming is still in the palace, and Marquis Weining doesn't dare to take ruthless action directly. He can only try his best to win over the forces in the court and dare not take action against Emperor Xiaoming easily."

"What's more, Marquis Weining had already supported me and Emperor Xiaoming. If he deposed Emperor Xiaoming and chose a young emperor from the royal family, it would be fine. But if he directly tore off all the masks and took the throne himself, I'm afraid he would only make the whole world his enemy."

"What's more, there is the great emperor of Guzi Country who is constantly watching from outside Dajing. The court is still clear and has not fallen to the brink of a change of dynasty."

Seeing that Emperor Ai knew what was going on, Jiang Xinxin didn't bother to care anymore. She just gave Emperor Ai a token and asked him to take over the wool that had been washed and sent to Tuozhou. "After being sorted, this wool can be made into clothes or felt or blankets, which have a good effect of keeping out the cold. Most importantly, this thing is a 'specialty' of Guzi and other Western countries."

There was no need for Jiang Xinxin to explain anything extra, as Emperor Ai understood the pros and cons himself and bowed down in worship.

Jiang Xinxin didn't bother to care about these things. She thought it was the best thing that Emperor Ai could accept all this.

In Wu'er Village, Zuo Qingci discovered the tracking powder hidden in Heweibai early in the morning, and received news from Xie Li saying that at least two groups of people were killed in the periphery. Combining this with Xie Li's previous words, he guessed that Su Xuan was most likely really plotted against by Jin Xu.

You know, the headmaster of Zhengyang Palace was not Jin Xu. If nothing unexpected happened, the person who took the position would most likely be Su Xuan who was poisoned by the Saro dream. Even Jin Xu was not the candidate for the successor to the headmaster after Su Xuan. There were several brothers who were killed by Su Xuan before him.

Su Yunluo would not have too many doubts when Jin Xu's hypocrisy was told to her. After all, she was not a fool. She knew her master Su Xuan very well and did not believe that Su Xuan would kill all her disciples without any reason.

So the two of them discussed it and decided to keep silent about the news that Su Xuan had been detoxified and head to the Blood Wing Cult in the southwest as usual.

Although Su Xuan has been detoxified now, he was deeply corroded by the toxins during the past ten years. It will take at least half a year of careful nursing to recover. Although he is conscious now, he is in a coma most of the time, otherwise Zuo Qingci would not have relied on reasoning and speculation to convict Jin Xu.

As soon as Zuo Qingci and Su Yunluo made a move, Jinxu's people really followed them. It happened that Jinxu agreed to Chaomu Pavilion's plan to eradicate the Blood Wing Cult after repeated invitations from Chaomu Pavilion's master Kou Subai. The two groups met in the southwest.

Jiang Xinxin watched as Emperor Ai took over the cleaned wool and quickly organized people to weave wool yarn, knit sweaters, felt and blankets. He also established a relationship with Qin Chen, the deputy general of the Jingbei Army, using the wool business as an excuse. She felt more at ease letting Emperor Ai act on his own.

To be honest, in Jiang Xinxin's eyes, Qin Chen looks a bit like a hero.

At present, Qin Chen's loyalty to his immediate superior, Jing'an Marquis Yan Yu, is beyond doubt, but he himself has indeed shown an attitude that no one else can take on the power of the Jingbei Army but him.

He had no good attitude towards the Jingbei Army's old enemy, Marquis Weining, and privately he did not show any possible bias towards him.

But at the same time, he was not optimistic about Emperor Xiaoming, believing that Emperor Xiaoming had no more than a 50% chance of winning against Marquis Weining.

Especially when Jing'an Marquis Yan Yu was about to be escorted to the capital, Qin Chen actually secretly expressed the same idea of ​​dominating the area as Weining Marquis.

Therefore, Jiang Xinxin couldn't agree more with Emperor Ai's initiative to contact Qin Chen.

Some big and small things in the martial arts world did not spread fast enough. The rich people in Zhongdu City were wearing woolen clothes from Tuozhou, and the news that the Blood Wing Sect in the southwest was wiped out only reached Emperor Ai through Shanshui Ferry.

Emperor Ai had no opinion on this, he was just curious about the inside story.

Judging from the information he had received previously, the forces most closely targeting the Blood Wing Cult were the Mu Mansion and the Chaomu Pavilion.

It is understandable that the Mu Mansion targets the Blood Wing Divine Cult. After all, the two families are both located in the southwest, and on the surface, one is good and the other is evil. However, the Mu Mansion, as the righteous one, is actually no match for the Blood Wing Divine Cult, which has a better foundation among the group. Therefore, sooner or later, the two families will have a conflict.

However, the targeting of Chaomu Pavilion seems a little unreasonable. After all, Chaomu Pavilion is very different from the Blood Wing Sect. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are one east and one west.

In the minds of normal people, even if Chaomu Pavilion and the Blood Wing Cult have some feud, they should first unite with the southwestern force of the Mu Mansion, get to know the Blood Wing Cult well, and then slowly take action.

But no one expected that this time the action against the Blood Wing Cult would be that Chaomu Pavilion first persuaded the Mu Mansion, then brought in the Yao Sect, and finally used the Wu League as an excuse to coerce the Zhengyang Palace and Shanshui Ferry.

Shanshuidu knows a lot of secrets, but also a lot of things he doesn't know. Wen Siyuan himself has only confessed to Emperor Ai that he is Sima Lang, one of the Seven Heroes of Yundang. He also has to watch the woman he likes marry the Mu family under the arrangement of his master, and prepare for Yin Changge to succeed as the head of Zhengyang Palace and take over as the next leader of the Martial Alliance.

Emperor Ai was not optimistic about the marriage between Zhengyang Palace and Mu Mansion, so he directly told him the inside story of his escape. Unfortunately, Wen Siyuan did not dare to tell his beloved Shen Manqing about Jin Xu's true identity.
