"Looking back on the past, only then did I know that the Crown Prince was wise and wise. Xu Fang had no morals, causing the country to lose its Crown Prince. "
"Sin against the heavens, cutting open my liver and gallbladder!"
Xu Fang, who was in front of the Green Stone Palace, didn't know how quickly this matter was spreading.
When he said the last eight words, he actually went from a prostrating position to a kneeling position.
Then, he took out a dagger and cut open his body with tears streaming down his face, cutting open his heart, liver, and gallbladder!
Cutting open his own liver and gallbladder to understand his heart.
…
The beautiful scenery that only appeared once a year was not late and was in full bloom.
The people sitting in the Xia Mountain Villa were all people with status in Linzi.
Amongst which, Four Seas Merchant Alliance Leader Qing Xi and Shimen Li Family Scholar Li Zhengshu were especially sharp.
The scenery was picturesque and the banquet was joyous.
However, as more and more people came in and whispered, the atmosphere slowly changed.
Li Zhengshu, who was really good at cultivating energy, was actually distracted for a moment.
Qing Xi's muddy old eyes instantly exploded with a bright glow, so bright that one couldn't look at him directly.
As the person with the highest position, their loss of composure was noticed by everyone right away.
Only Chung Geng Sheng himself was still talking and laughing like normal.
Xu Fang asked for forgiveness outside the Green Stone Palace.
Many people couldn't understand the meaning of this matter.
In the 28th year of Yuanfeng, which was 3892 of the Taoist calendar.
Xu Fang scolded Qi's Crown Prince Jiang Wuliang. The most vicious sentence was, "The country is important, but you can't bear a single feather on your shoulders. You are important to the world, but your heart can't hold a single thing. Since you are so devoted to Buddhism, why not spend your life with a lamp? "
Jiang Wuliang was close to the Shi Family and was close to the Buddhist Faction. This was also something that the Qi Emperor didn't like.
Xu Fang's scolding was seen as a wave, causing the entire Imperial Court to attack Jiang Wuliang.
After that scolding, memorials from all over fell like rain.
Jiang Wuliang only lasted for a year before he was dethroned in the 29th year of Yuanfeng.
However, today Xu Fang said that what he scolded that day was nonsense, that he was using shameless and twisted words to smear the righteous with shit.
He spat on himself, saying that his mouth was full of shit.
When his entire family died, he only said, "Thunder punishes the evil, and bitterness roasts the intestines." He treated it as his own karmic retribution and deserved it.
What was he going to do?
At least on the surface, it was obvious.
He wanted to use his own body and life to clear the name of the deposed Crown Prince!
However, was this name so easy to correct?
What was the background behind Jiang Wuliang's dethronement?
Five years before he was crippled, there was a major event in the Eastern Region that shook the world.
In other words, it was the 24th year of the Yuanfeng era of the Qi era, and the 388th year of the Dao era. In this year, there was a great battle between Qi and Xia to determine the position of the overlord of the Eastern Domain.
The final winner of this war was Qi. The State of Great Xia was forced back to the Southern Region. For the next thirty years, the State of Great Xia did not return to the Northeast.
Chongxuan and Chu Liang also became famous in this battle, establishing the might of the Xiong Tu.
However, before this war began, Jiang Wuliang had been the most resolute supporter of peace. He presided over the negotiations with the State of Great Xia, and both sides divided the Eastern Region equally. His political views were built on the unstable foundation of Qi at that time. He wanted to recuperate and build up strength. Of course, there was no need to talk about this.
The current Emperor Qi was the emperor of Qi. If he was determined to fight, no one could change his mind. Crown Prince Jiang Wuliang took the lead to dissuade him. He directly grounded Jiang Wuliang and did not allow him to speak. At that time, this matter also announced the complete failure of the supporters of peace.
After the battle between Qi and Xia, Qi won a complete victory and established the power of the Eastern Region.
The Emperor Qi proved his valiance. Correspondingly, Crown Prince Jiang Wuliang proved his cowardice and incompetence.
After the war, Jiang Wuliang suffered as the Crown Prince for five years until the arrogant scholar Xu Fang scolded him and attacked him. After that, the Eastern Palace was deposed.
…
Xu Fang said that he was wrong and that he was deceived. This was equivalent to saying that Jiang Wuliang was not wrong. Jiang Wuliang was destroyed by conspiracy and lost in political struggles, not because he was incompetent and immoral.
Then, who was wrong?
How big was the impact of this matter?
It was both big and small at the same time.
It was small because Xu Fang alone couldn't change Jiang Wuliang's situation at all. It did not threaten Jiang Wuhua's position as the Crown Prince. It did not affect the political situation of Qi at all — even though Xu Fang was so pitiful.
It was big because it meant that there might be a force trying to turn the situation around for Jiang Wuliang. Getting rid of the old infamy might be just the first step.
Xu Fang, who had disappeared for many years, was the chess piece to test the reactions of all parties.
In the worst case scenario, this could very well infuriate Emperor Qi.
In the 29th year of Yuanfeng, Jiang Wuliang was deposed. At the same time, the Withered Yard of the Eastern Region, which was once second only to the Xuankong Temple, was destroyed by the Emperor Qi.
In the thirty-fifth year of Yuanfeng, Jiang Wuliang's resentment towards his father was exposed. Emperor Qi killed seventeen officials who pleaded for mercy for Jiang Wuliang and imprisoned Jiang Wuliang in the Green Stone Palace, letting him die of old age.
Everyone knew that the Emperor Qi was disappointed and despised his eldest son.
Then, where did the force trying to turn the situation around for Jiang Wuliang come from?
If they were to dig up Xu Fang's background, as long as they were careful, they would be able to find out why his entire family had been forced to their deaths eighteen years ago.
Qing Xi, who was an old rival of the Jubao Merchants, naturally knew how the Jubao Merchants forced Xu Fang's entire family to die.
In fact, it was because of the evidence that Xu Fang found people to collect that Treasure Gathering Chamber of Commerce.
Qing Xi knew that the Jubao Merchants had some dealings with Jiang Wuliang. Su She, with his sharp eyes, managed to cut Jiang Wuliang off before he fell from power. Only then did he avoid the cleansing.
The Jubao Merchants took revenge and forced Xu Fang's entire family to die. This could be a big or small matter.
How small could this matter be?
The entire Xu family died. Xu Fang, who was once famous in Linzi, had his Dao heart broken and his cultivation destroyed. He lived on the streets for 18 years … and no one cared about him!
How big could this matter be?
Xu Fang was the vanguard who attacked Jiang Wuliang. After Jiang Wuliang was imprisoned in the Green Stone Palace for a year, he suffered revenge. Was there a connection between these two?
Especially when Xu Fang disappeared for many years. When he reappeared, he cut his liver and gall to prove his intentions.
If one connected all of this, it was easy to feel that there was an invisible hand forcing Xu Fang to lower his head and using cruel methods to force Xu Fang to change his stance.
No matter who the owner of this hand was, whether it was Jiang Wuliang himself or those who wanted to kill Jiang Wuliang.
But this hand was undoubtedly the same as the Jubao Merchants.
Whether or not the owner of this hand could be found, it would be difficult to keep this hand.
It could be said that the Jubao Merchants were pushed to the edge of a cliff!
Did this matter have anything to do with Chung Geng Sheng?
Others might not be able to tell, and there was no evidence at all. But for Li Zhengshu, who had seen Chung Geng Sheng's imperial prelude with his own eyes, and for Qing Xi, who had been paying close attention to Chung Geng Sheng since the defeat at the Yang Land, they naturally had their own judgment.
This Chung Geng Sheng, he did not just want to teach the Jubao Merchants a lesson. He wanted to destroy the entire Jubao Merchants with one slap!
That was why people like Li Zhengshu and Qing Hee were so shocked!
And everyone who appeared at the Sunset Mountain Villa today was testifying for Chung Geng Sheng, proving that he had nothing to do with this matter.
Thinking of this and looking at Chongxuan Mingguang's joyful face, they felt very pitiful.
…
"Young Master Sheng!"
Everyone saw the Alliance Leader of the Four Seas Merchant Alliance, Qing Xi, stand up shakily and raise his wine cup to propose a toast to Chung Geng Sheng!
Chongxuan Mingguang, who had been glowing, only now realized that something was wrong.
Qing Xi said in front of everyone, "I did not manage my subordinates well, and they offended many people in the Yang Region. Fortunately, Young Master Sheng taught them well, and they reined in the horse at the edge of the cliff. Young Master Sheng did not care about the past and invited me to see Shengjing. I am very grateful! I hope that we can cooperate more in the future! "
After he finished speaking, he downed his cup.
Chung Geng Sheng stood up hurriedly and said, "Old Mister Qing is so magnanimous, and I am very grateful!"
After he finished speaking, he downed three cups and said, "As for cooperation … that's easy!"
On the main seat, Chongxuan Mingguang's heart was getting tighter and tighter. What he saw was still the beautiful scenery of the sunset.
The mountains, clouds, and sky were all red, as if they were dyed in blood!
