Volume Two, The Backbone, Chapter 38: Kyoto Temples, One Word Hall
The early morning mist has not receded yet, and it has fallen on Kyoto and is entangled with stove smoke, covering the entire city, except that it is impossible to enter the imperial palace.
Today's morning court was rarely lively. The news of Guan Juyi's death in Yunmo Mountain spread to the palace, causing an uproar. The little eunuchs guarding the palace lowered their heads and pricked up their ears to listen to the quarrels of the big shots in court.
"After all, there are still people from villages and towns at the foot of Yunmo Mountain, and I heard that monsters from the Forgotten Realm are out this time, so we should make more preparations."
"How can we find people now? The demon clan on the border is determined to be evil, and there are many small border countries that are ready to take action. Are they going to send people from Kyoto there?"
"Whether Yunmo Mountain wants to recruit troops or not is secondary. In the eyes of the world, Guan Juyi stayed in Yunmo Mountain for many years for the sake of the stability of our Holy Dynasty, or should we give him the dignity he deserves after death."
The ministers in the palace argued for half an hour with no results. In the final analysis, they were still controversial about two things: whether to mobilize troops, and how to properly handle Guan Juyi's death.
Someone whispered, "In the final analysis, Yunmo Mountain is not an important place. Even without Guan Juyi, Yunmo Mountain is still Yunmo Mountain. In the past thousands of years, we have never heard of anyone like the Spear Saint."
, isn’t it the case that there hasn’t been any big trouble?”
Someone else echoed, lowering his voice and saying: "They are just a bunch of scumbags. Before Guan Juyi went there, he had never heard of any trouble happening in Yuanmo Mountain. As long as we evacuate the soldiers of our holy dynasty,
That’s fine, what do you do with those things that are supposed to fend for themselves?”
"The top priority is to first stabilize the generals who entered the court from Yunmo Mountain. They have a close relationship with Guan Juyi. If they hear the news and leave their posts without permission, it will be a serious matter."
The quarrel in the court continued for a long time. Li Tang didn't want to listen anymore, so he turned around and went to the back of the palace. The eunuch close to him understood the idea and loudly announced, "Retreat from the court——"
Half a moment later, the two of them met at the back of the palace to discuss the matter of Yunmo Mountain again.
One person said: "Over the years, there have been many villages and towns at the foot of Yunmo Mountain. Many of them are the family members of the soldiers on the mountain. No matter how unknown the origins of these soldiers are, they can be regarded as people who have contributed to the Holy Dynasty. Once the temple is indifferent, the world will
There are many complaints from the people, and speaking of them would be detrimental to His Majesty's reputation."
Li Tang heard the word reputation, raised his eyes and said, "What do you think we should do?"
"We might as well send three or five people there, headed by a Naihejing. In today's world, Wangyou Daxiu can't come out. Even in the eyes of Jianghu people, Naihejing is a great person. In this way, even if the monsters on the Yuanmo Mountain are finally
Once we really go down the mountain, we can finally give an explanation to the people."
Li Tang nodded slightly, "How should we deal with Guan Juyi's death?"
It was Dr. Guanglu who had just come up with the idea. He carefully looked at Li Tang's expression and said slowly: "Guan Juyi is, after all, the only one in the Holy Dynasty for thousands of years."
Li Tang frowned slightly, looking impatient.
Dr. Guanglu hurriedly changed the subject and said: "However, he only has a false reputation, and he has never done anything important in Yunmo Mountain."
Li Tangshu raised his eyebrows, and Doctor Guanglu then continued: "It's just that there are several generals in the court who have some friendship with Guan Juyi, and I still have to give them an explanation."
Li Tang was silent for a moment, then sneered: "I don't even dare to say that there is only one person in a thousand years. Everyone is so busy, who will remember a dead person for three to five years?"
These words made several people in the palace pale slightly. They secretly wondered how Guan Juyi had offended the Holy Emperor and allowed him to say these words without hesitation.
In fact, they don't care about the so-called Yunmo Mountain. Yunmo Mountain is far away three thousand miles away, and it is in the east with a harsh climate and dangerous terrain. It is separated from the Cheng family's Dong'a City in the middle. Even if it is really lost,
It doesn't affect their hats or seats in any way.
When they first took office, they did say that they would benefit the people of the world, but now and then, after so many years, what they really care about is whether the handling of this matter can satisfy His Majesty in front of the palace.
When this holy sage is happy, other people can be happy, and the whole temple can be stable. As for the common people who rely on a few unofficial histories orally passed down by word of mouth? A few sentences of Jianghu commentary and a bowl of rice are enough for the life of the ignorant people.
On this day, more than a dozen urgent orders were issued from the palace, all of which were passed on to the generals from Yunmo Mountain. The dozens of urgent orders were thousands of words long, but they all meant the same thing: Guan Juyi's matter is our entire holy empire.
I also know that you have a close relationship with the Spear Saint and have received favors from him. However, you are in important positions now. You must not leave your posts without permission. The imperial court will handle the matter of the Spear Saint.
On this day, news came out from the palace that the emperor was deeply saddened when he heard the news about the Spear Saint. He cried bitterly for a long time. He only said: It is all my responsibility. I did not protect the humerus of the Holy Dynasty like Guan Juyi. For the stability of the Holy Dynasty, I
It was decided to send Deputy Commander Qianniu there. He is the number one practitioner in the imperial city today and will definitely be able to ensure the safety of Yunmo Mountain.
At the end, Li Tang mentioned the Ninth Prince Li Chen and only said that Yunmo Mountain has encountered a catastrophe. As a prince, you should set an example!
After hearing the news one after another, the people praised the Holy One for his benevolence and righteousness.
The lives of tens of thousands of soldiers on Yunmo Mountain were passed into Kyoto, just like pebbles entering a big lake, making a few shallow circles and then disappearing.
