He wasn't really venting his anger on Shao Pingbo, but he was a little uncomfortable with the Cloud Weapon Sect.
What Black Water Station? What powerful intelligence agency? They were all scolded like dog shit. The Cloud Weapon Sect said that if it wasn't for the fact that you gave us bad information, would this have happened? It must be because your intelligence network didn't get the details, causing the sect to make a wrong judgment.
Tai-shu Xiong was speechless. How could he explain this?
He had warned him before that the palace was full of crooks and honest people, and accidents could easily happen. It wasn't easy to make a move. But the sect master didn't listen and insisted on getting rich. Now that something had happened, it was his fault. But there was no use in explaining, and he couldn't defend himself, so he could only bear with it.
But when would it end! He had just been scolded, and being an emperor was really frustrating.
Three Supreme Elders were gone, and this wasn't a small matter. It was a huge matter for the Cloud Weapon Sect, and they wouldn't let it go easily if they couldn't give an explanation.
Tai-shu Xiong wanted to do something big to divert the attention of the Cloud Weapon Sect. Once the Jin and Wei Kingdoms went to war, the Cloud Weapon Sect would have to put this matter aside.
Shao Pingbo didn't know what was wrong with the other party's temper, but he guessed that something must have happened.
The Emperor had already spoken to this extent. What else could he do but live under someone else's roof? He turned his head and nodded at Tao Lue, the Chief of the Imperial Household.
Tao Lue understood and waved his hand, signaling for the irrelevant people to leave.
Without outsiders, Shao Pingbo didn't have to worry about secrets being leaked, so he told them about the Wei Emperor's dismissal of Grand Commandant Nan Renyu.
Unexpectedly, Tai-shu Xiong waved his hand and said, "Tao Lue has already reported this, and I know about it. You didn't succeed, and Xuan Wei stopped you. I said, I want to know when we can make a move! "
Shao Pingbo bowed and apologized to Tao Lue, "I didn't hide some things from Chief Tao on purpose, but it's a secret. Once it's leaked, everything will be for naught. I can only succeed in this matter for His Majesty, so I have to be cautious! "
Tao Lue nodded to show his understanding, and Tai-shu Xiong felt better when he heard that they could only succeed.
Shao Pingbo then said to Taishu Xiong, "Your Majesty, Nan Renyu holds the military power, it's not easy to deal with him. Dealing with him is just a test, Xuanwei will definitely stop you, and it's precisely for Xuanwei to stop you. First, let Xuan Wei contradict Wei Jun. After that, she would definitely reflect on herself and restrain herself, paving the way for my next move. Secondly, and also the most important one, is to drive a wedge between the two siblings. Through this matter, under the bewitchment of our spies, Wei Jun and Xuan Chengtian have deep suspicions towards Xuan Wei, suspecting that her sister is plotting against the throne! "
"With this prelude, our spies can continue to deepen their suspicions and urge them to take action again. Moving against Nan Renyu is just a facade. The real target is the largest intelligence organization in Xuan Wei's hands, Mist Manor. As long as Xuan Chengtian stretches out his hand, as long as he gets the Mist Manor in Xuan Wei's hands, Xuan Wei will become deaf and blind. "
Taishu Xiong narrowed his eyes and revealed a thoughtful expression.
Shao Pingbo continued, "As long as Xuan Wei's eyes and ears are cut off, she will lose the ability to smoothly control the situation. It will be easy for Xuan Chengtian to make a move against Nan Renyu. With this prelude, Xuan Chengtian has already lost trust in Nan Renyu. It will be very easy to instigate Xuan Chengtian to make a move against Nan Renyu, and he can also instigate Xuan Chengtian to clean up a batch of Nan Renyu's skeleton generals with lightning speed. "
"When the time comes, the military situation of Wei Country will be in chaos, and the army of Jin Country will seize the opportunity to kill their way in. It will be a piece of cake … Your Majesty, we can't wait any longer. It will be soon, but we mustn't advance rashly at this moment. Every step must be carefully measured and must not arouse Xuanwei's suspicion. It is very important for Xuanwei to maintain her impression of Lord Wei. Otherwise, if Xuanwei is provoked, Xuan Chengtian won't even have the strength to resist."
"No matter what Xuan Chengtian does now, no matter how bad the situation is, Xuan Wei has the influence to regain control of the situation. Therefore, Xuan Wei doesn't think that Xuan Chengtian is capable of forcefully seizing power, and he doesn't believe that Xuan Chengtian can succeed either. Xuan Chengtian is certainly not a match for Xuan Wei, but that's not important. What my Jin Country wants is for Wei Country to be in chaos, especially the military's morale. As long as it can give my Jin Country enough time to take advantage of it, it will be fine! "
Tai-shu Xiong's brows gradually raised. His mood was truly at ease, and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.
Tao Lve, who was at the side, also nodded repeatedly.
…
In the sky above the Northern Prefecture's Provincial Governor's Manor, a large bird descended from the sky. Peng was in the manor again, and the Heavenly Jade School's disciple who was on guard came out to greet him.
With the large bird gifted by Niu Youdao, it was indeed very convenient for them to travel to various places. They could fly high up in the sky, and it wouldn't be easy for them to encounter danger.
It was just that it was rather vexing to receive such a great gift.
Shao Dengyun came out after hearing the news. He cupped his hands and greeted, "Sect Master Peng."
"Brother Shao, I wonder what's the matter for you to suddenly summon me?" Peng nodded and asked.
"Please come in." Shao Dengyun extended his hand to invite him.
Peng sized him up a few more times, then followed him to the important military area.
After they took their seats in the hall, Shao Dengyun had someone stand guard outside to prevent unauthorized personnel from approaching. He didn't waste any time and had the butler, Yang Shuang, carry a medium-sized box over and placed it in front of Peng Youzai.
Shao Dengyun extended his hand and invited Peng Youzai to take a look at the contents of the box.
Peng Youzai wasn't in a hurry to open the box. Instead, he asked, "What is it?"
Shao Dengyun said unhurriedly, "Recently, the imperial court has sent a group of people to secretly investigate the corrupt officials in the Northern Prefecture. They've already found evidence of their crimes, and they've also given me a copy. It's all here!" He pointed at the box. "Daoye sent a message saying that this item must be shown to Sect Master Peng. He said that Sect Master Peng will know what to do next, and asked me to cooperate with the Heavenly Jade School."
Peng Youzai's eyelids twitched as he listened.
A few months ago, after Niu Youdao came to talk to him, there was no news from him. He had hoped that the matter was over, but he didn't expect that it would still come. He couldn't avoid what was coming. Niu Youdao still wanted to force him to make a decision.
As expected, that heavy gift wasn't that easy to accept.
What shocked him even more was why the imperial court would send the crimes of such an official to Niu Youdao? Just how powerful was Niu Youdao's influence to be able to influence the imperial court's decision? This didn't seem to make sense!
He got up and opened the box, only to see a thick pile of documents inside. He casually took one of them and read through it.
With just a glance, he knew that it couldn't be fake. The filthy deeds of a certain Northern Prefecture official were clearly recorded, including who the investigator was sent by the imperial court, and who signed the document. It could be verified at any time.
The reason he wanted to make a move was right in front of him. How should he choose?
Shao Dengyun stood up and reminded him, "Daoye said that he wants to see my message and Sect Leader Peng's decision tonight!"
Peng Youzai felt the weight of the documents in his hands. He hesitated and asked, "Isn't this a little too hasty?"
Shao Dengyun replied, "It's not. As long as the Heavenly Jade School's disciples cooperate, the troops of our Northern Prefecture can attack at any time. We can arrest all those corrupt officials in one fell swoop. It won't take much effort. The evidence of the imperial court's investigation is here. Arrest and sentence them on the spot! "
"Daoye said that none of these people who plundered the people's wealth should be spared. They must be killed without mercy!"
"Of course, Daoye also said that all the property seized will belong to the Heavenly Jade School. This isn't a small sum!"
"In addition, Daoye also said that in the future, I will be in charge of the appointment of all the officials of the Northern Prefecture. Daoye said that he has already communicated with Sect Leader Peng. "
Peng Youzai's cheeks tightened. "Behind these people are many people from the three major sects. Has Elder Niu considered the consequences of doing this?"
Shao Dengyun said, "Daoye specifically said that he will deal with the aftermath. We don't need to bear any responsibility. If the sky falls, he will support it … Sect Leader Peng, it's getting late. Daoye is still waiting for my news at the Purple Golden Cave. By the way, Daoye has warned me that he has been waiting for several months. His patience is limited. He won't wait any longer. If you don't want the Northern Prefecture, get out of here as soon as possible! "
Peng Youzai smiled bitterly. This was not a warning to Shao Dengyun, it was clearly a warning to him.
…
Xiao Yao Palace had a distinguished guest visiting. The Sect Leader of Spirit Sword Mountain, Meng Xuan, personally came.
Welcoming and sending off guests was a matter of reciprocity. The Sect Leader of Xiao Yao Palace, Long Xiu, personally showed up and accompanied them to the luxuriant guest pavilion. "Brother Meng suddenly came in person, don't tell me you have nothing better to do?"
Meng Xuan paced forward. "Recently, the surrounding area of Yan Mountain has been peaceful. Indeed, I have nothing better to do."
Long Xiu raised his eyebrows and looked him up and down. It would be strange if Meng Xuan believed his nonsense.
In the pavilion, the two of them sat facing the beautiful scenery. After the tea was served, Long Xiu waved his hand to signal the irrelevant people to leave. He then said, "There are no outsiders here. What's the matter? Don't beat around the bush. Just say it directly. Is it about the Sage Realm?"
Meng Xuan said, "Didn't I say it? Recently, the surrounding area of Yan Mountain has been peaceful. I have nothing better to do."
Long Xiu tried to figure out what Meng Xuan meant but still couldn't figure it out. He frowned and said, "Speak human language!"
Meng Xuan said, "South Korea and Song Country are having a secret discussion. The war between Han and Song Country is about to end. Brother Long, don't you know about this?"
Long Xiu said, "I heard about it. Is this your so-called peace? It's not a good thing for Yan Mountain if the two countries stop fighting. It's better if the two countries fight to the death. "
Meng Xuan shook his head. "After the war between Han and Song Country, these two countries will not make trouble for the time being. Qin Country also has no intention to provoke them. Don't you think the opportunity has come?"
"Opportunity?" Long Xiu was puzzled. "What opportunity?"
Meng Xuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Now that the situation around us is favorable, Brother Long, don't you want to take the opportunity to settle the internal affairs of Yan Mountain?"
Long Xiu was vigilant. He didn't want to fall into any trap so easily. He asked, "What is it?"
Meng Xuan picked up his teacup. "For example, Bei Zhou! Brother Long, you can't be willing to see Bei Zhou completely fall into the hands of Niu Youdao or Purple Golden Cave, right? "
Long Xiu raised his eyebrows. He understood what Meng Xuan meant. "You want to wipe out Shao Dengyun's forces?"
Meng Xuan said, "Don't you want to, Brother Long? Heavenly Jade School's attitude is ambiguous. As long as you and I work together to find Heavenly Jade School, even if Heavenly Jade School doesn't completely side with either of us, it's also good for Heavenly Jade School to remain neutral. In short, we can't let Niu Youdao or Purple Golden Cave gain power. With Heavenly Jade School's cooperation, it won't be difficult to wipe out Bei Zhou. Now is the best time. If anything happens in the future, I'm afraid we'll have to think twice before we act. "
