Chapter 657 Ominous Weapon

At this point in time, the emperor asked these "religious people" to enter Beijing, and at this point, he wanted to sacrifice to the gods for divination, so the intention is actually very obvious.

He was trying to find an excuse for this war.

To put it more bluntly, today's emperor wants to pass the responsibility of this war to the illusory God.

After all, unless absolutely necessary, the Central Plains Dynasty rarely took the initiative to attack. Only when it was unbearable, or when there was a conflict of interest related to lifeline, the Central Plains Dynasty would massively raise troops and attack foreign enemies.

At present, the Yuwen tribes in the north have not met these two conditions.

First of all, these 30 to 40 years old people in the Zhou Dynasty are still honest. Although there are occasional conflicts on the border, after all, there is no large-scale war, and the Dajin has not suffered too much loss.

Secondly, after the Yuwen tribes withdrew from outside the Jimen Pass, there was no territorial conflict with the Central Plains Dynasty. After all, the land outside the pass was not suitable for farming. To be honest, the Ji family had no interest there.

Therefore, if this war is to be fought, it is purely for the reputation of Emperor Taikang alone, or, as Emperor Taikang said, to eliminate disasters for future generations.

But this kind of reason is not very convincing to the common people. Officials in the DPRK can use their authority to subdue them, but the public opinion of the common people in the world is not so easy to calm down.

Therefore, the emperor planned to use these religious figures to guide the thoughts of the common people. Just imagine, if the head of the Taiyi Palace, who was famous throughout the entire Jin Dynasty, the junior disciple of the Immortal Chunyang, Yiyangzi Zhenren, said in his divination that the northern There are hidden dangers that need to be quelled, or that there is about to be a war in the north, then there will be no pressure on the matter of the Northern Expedition in terms of public opinion.

Yiyangzi sat opposite the Marquis of Jing'an. After looking at Li Xin a few times, he lowered his head slightly and asked cautiously, "Marquis Li, what do you mean?"

Li Xin said with a smile: "Daoist, Taoist divination, who are you asking about?"

Ichiyoko is a professional in this regard, and he answered without hesitation.

"Naturally it is asked in the sky."

Jing'an Houye nodded and said, "Daoist, this day's will is unpredictable."

Yiyangzi frowned, bowed his head and said, "What Marquis said is true."

Li Xin continued with a smile and said: "Daoist, God is high above, no one can say that he can really read his old man's mind, even if the Taoist can read it and say it, but other people can't read it, they may not be able to believe it. "

"What does Lord Hou mean?"

Li Xin lowered his head and took a sip of tea, smiled and said, "Old Daoist, God can't speak, but God has an eldest son in the world, but he can talk. When the old Daoist divination, if God doesn't answer, you might as well consider it. After all, the thoughts of this heir of heaven, their family is always the same."

Heaven's direct son, is naturally the Son of Heaven.

Yiyangzi wiped the sweat from his forehead, then bowed his head respectfully: "The old man can understand what Marquis said, but the old man doesn't quite understand... What is the mind of this son of heaven."

Li Xin glanced at Yiyangzi, then smiled.

"What did the Marquis instruct you?"

Ichiyoko got up and gave Li Xin a deep bow.

"Old Daoist, thank you Hou Ye's kindness."

…………

After sent the magic stick to leave, it was almost noon. Li Xin had lunch at home, and then set off to go out to Duke Chen's residence.

Today is a special day, not only is the old **** stick Yiyangzi coming to Beijing, there is another acquaintance in the capital who wants to come back.

The two families were not far away. Li Xin walked for a while and then came to the gate of Chen Guogong's mansion. He didn't need to notify him, so he went straight in, grabbed a servant of Chen Guogong's mansion, and asked, "The fourth young master is back. No?"

This person is also a steward of Chen Guogong's mansion. Hearing this, he lowered his head and said, "Back to the Marquis, the fourth young master has already arrived in the capital, but he has not yet returned home. The young master left early in the morning and waited. It is estimated that it will be soon. came back."

Li Xin nodded and patted the man on the shoulder.

"Okay, go get busy."

Ye Lin hadn't come back yet, and Li Xin didn't wait for him, he went straight to the backyard of Ye's house, came to the door of Old Man Ye's small courtyard, and reached out and knocked on the door.

After a while, the courtyard door was slowly pushed open, and the one who opened the door was no longer the spirited old man from before, but a middle-aged man with a fair complexion.

Li Xin always had a smile on his face when facing Old Man Ye, but facing this middle-aged man, he rarely became serious and bowed his head respectfully.

"Li Xin has met Mr. Qin."

Qin Yuanhua nodded slightly to Li Xin, and said, "Master Li Hou is here to visit my husband?"

Li Xin nodded and smiled, and asked, "Mr. Qin, how is the teacher?"

"It's fairly stable for the time being."

Qin Yuanhua sighed and said helplessly: "It's just that my husband still refuses to quit drinking. When Li Hou sees his old man, he should persuade him if he can."

Li Xin nodded with a smile.

"I'll go in and see Master Ye."

Qin Yuanhua gave way, nodded and said, "Master Li, please."

Li Xin then walked in. Stepping in, he smelled a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine. He waved with his sleeve to dissipate some of the medicine smell and walked in.

Old man Ye was lying on the reclining chair in the yard, basking in the sun with his eyes closed, looking leisurely.

Li Xin walked over, squatted beside the old man, and said with a smile, "Master Ye, this disciple sees you coming."

Ye Sheng only opened his eyes. After glancing at Li Xin, he said lazily, "Come and see if the old man is dead?"

The Marquis of Jing An reached out and patted the dust behind him, then he didn't mind and sat down.

The old man was lying on the reclining chair, and Li Xin was sitting on the ground with such a bum, the two of them seemed almost tall.

After hearing the old man's words, Li Xin shook his head and smiled: "Master Ye, this disciple is very filial to you. I will come to see you when I have time. You can't talk nonsense."

Old man Ye glared.

"The last time you came to the old man's place, you asked when the old man died. The old man has memorized this for seven or eight days!"

"The old man is old now and has a good temper. If I saw you decades ago, you little bastard, the grass on the grave should be several feet tall!"

After saying that, the old man lay down angrily.

Li Xin didn't mind either, sitting next to the old man and smiling.

"Master Ye, I heard that Brother Xiao Ye is coming back soon."

Ye Sheng squinted at Li Xin.

"Are you here to see me or to see him?"

"Look at it all, look at it all."

Li Xin smiled and said, "It's mainly to visit your old man."

Ye Sheng snorted.

"You have always had the temperament to go to the Three Treasures Hall for everything, let's talk about it, what's the matter?"
