Chapter 437 Purging the Rivers and Lakes (Part I) Gu Xinyang's understanding of Wang Ge must be much deeper than that of most people, knowing that he played a great role in the process of Zhu Di's martyrdom, otherwise he would not have been crowned a marquis.But when he arrived in the capital, he really had contact with Wang Ge, and after meeting Wang Ge and the people around him, especially after a short meeting with Dao Yan, his understanding of Wang Ge was refreshed again.Originally, Gu Xinyang felt that Wang Ge should be inferior to Dao Yan in terms of status, prestige and ability.But even Dao Yan himself may not have realized that when he met with Gu Xinyang, when he mentioned Wang Ge, the attitude he revealed was to treat Wang Ge as a person of equal status.When talking to Wang Ge, when mentioning Dao Yan, Wang Ge also did not regard himself as a subordinate.What's more, judging from the Qingzhou Witch Gu incident, there is obviously no absolute trust between Wang Ge and Dao Yan.Gu Xinyang quickly revised his judgment, in the Ming court, within the intelligence spy system, Dao Yan may be the one who is more trusted by Zhu Di, but Wang Ge is likely to be stronger in more aspects.When Dao Yan met him, he didn't actually talk about anything substantial, but only confirmed the purpose of the "Taiping Tower", and then stated that His Majesty the Emperor would no longer pursue what they did during the Battle of Jingzhou.After all, the "Taiping Tower" is actually to a certain extent, and it is also the concept of maintaining stability and dynastic rule, and there is no conflict with the Ming court now.If it wants to retaliate against the "Taiping Building", it is very unlikely that this long-established organization wants to be uprooted.Although there was no mention in the words, Gu Xinyang still vaguely guessed that the reason why Dao Yan wanted to see him and establish this relationship with himself may be a slight possibility that he was preparing for Wang Ge if there was a change in the future.After all, Wang Ge is surrounded by masters like clouds, and he has a good relationship with the great master Zhang Jue, and has been rooted in the rivers and lakes for many years.If you really want to deal with him, the "Taiping Tower" may be more suitable than an army of 100,000.And with the concept of "Taiping Building" to maintain the peace of the world as their own responsibility, if Wang Ge really has trouble in the world, then it is natural for them to take action.Dao Yan actually didn't have any explicit or implied words about this possibility, it could be said that this was Gu Xinyang's guess completely made up in his brain, but he felt that this was very likely to be the real situation.Although the "Taiping Building" is basically a hidden organization, Gu Xinyang always acts incognito and keeps a low profile, and only when there is a big chaos like the Four Kings Jingnan will they really become active, but they are not conspirators.From Gu Xinyang's position, he didn't want Dao Yan to clash with Wang Ge, or between Wang Ge and the Ming Court, because that might mean the beginning of another catastrophe.Especially when he knew the ability of the "Witch King" in Qingzhou City, he didn't want this situation to happen."
Master, where are we going?"
Guo Xinghan, who was a little depressed, asked."
Qingzhou."
Gu Xinyang's answer was concise and to the point.Guo Xinghan just wanted to say that the master didn't tell Wang Ge that he didn't plan to enter Qingzhou City to see the "Witch King", but he immediately remembered that his senior sister was still buried outside Qingzhou City.Gu Xinyang glanced at the apprentice with pain and sadness on his face, sighed secretly, and shook his head in his heart.After Li Manqing's disappearance, he has been taking Guo Xinghan with him, in fact, to a certain extent, he also wants to give him a chance to see if he can grow up and replace Li Manqing as the successor of the next "landlord".But now it seems that the gap between him and Li Manqing is too big.It can even be said that Guo Xinghan is not suitable for the "Taiping Building", and he may not be allowed to enter the WTO in the future.Fortunately, the lifespan of the grandmaster is relatively long, and he still has at least fifty or sixty years to slowly find a successor.…… The thirty-fourth year of Hongwu (that is, the third year of Jianwen) finally passed, and the Ming Dynasty ushered in the first year of Yongle, and this year's Spring Festival, Wang Ge returned to Qingzhou.Because the purging of the secret agents of Mengyuan in the capital is almost over.First "leaning on the Red Mansion", and then Ning Zhonghuan, after Wang Ge used the "Truth Vomiting Elixir", basically the secret agents who were still in the capital of Mengyuan Tatar have been arrested.You must know that Ning Zhonghuan's status in the spy system of Mengyuan Tatar is not lower than that of "Batu".Although Ning Zhonghuan was sent to the door by himself, he was killed in the yamen of the Dongji Factory, which was naturally the merit of Dongchang and Wang Ge.As soon as he came up, there was such a feat, and it was against Mengyuan Tatar rather than internally, which naturally made the courtiers distinguish between Dongchang and Jinyiwei - in his opinion, it seems that Dongchang is external, and Jinyiwei is internal.Next, Wang Ge sent spies to the north of Mengyuan Tatar, relying on a large amount of confidential information obtained from Ning Zhonghuan, he was very sure of rebelling against some of the Han people of the Demon Sect Left Envoy who were living extremely unsatisfactorily within Mengyuan at this time.In this matter, he handed over Lianhong, who was originally a secret agent of Meng Yuan, to take charge of it, and he himself focused on the rivers and lakes of the Ming Dynasty.Wang Ge has created public opinion for a long time through the influence of all parties before, pointing out that Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng have the command of the Demon Sect behind him, but not many people believed it at the beginning, until the capital changed hands and Zhu Di ascended the throne, and then a large number of correspondence with the Demon Sect's sword envoy Sima Junxiu were found from Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai's mansions, and there were even people in the Demon Sect, which really made many people believe the news.Although some people still question that this seems to be a deliberate planting by the imperial court, otherwise, with Sima Junxiu's status, where is there a way to directly control and influence the court officials like Qitai and Huang Zicheng, and the close ministers of the Son of Heaven?
Even if they colluded with each other, why did they leave so many letters?
But not long ago, under the leadership and auspices of Huang Fuyuan, several sects cooperated, and even the great grandmaster, Xingguo Gong Zhang Jue, and Huang Fuyuan's Jiangnan master Peng Qinghui, who had the name of master and apprentice, all took action, and severely damaged the Demon Sect's sword envoy Sima Junxiu in Qi Tai's old mansion in Lishui County, Yingtianfu.Later, Sima Junxiu, who was seriously injured, escaped from Lishui County, but by mistake intercepted and killed Huangfu Yuan who was chasing by the river, and his body fell into the river, leaving only the severed arm and the Demon Sect Zhenjiao Divine Sword "Fenghuo Sword".After this incident, the entire Jianghu could only accept the fact that Sima Junxiu, the sword of the Demon Sect, had colluded with Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng, and Huang Fuyuan, who got the news, organized people to encircle and suppress him, and killed Sima Junxiu with his own hands, was also elected as the new leader of the Martial Alliance at the Martial Alliance Conference held at the end of the year.After that, the pattern of the entire rivers and lakes will be reshuffled, such as Shaolin, Huangfu family and other old forces are still strong, and rising stars such as Tianlong Villa are also sprung up, and there are also some original old sects and families began to decline, the first to bear the brunt, is Emei and Tangmen.Although Dao Yan met Gu Xinyang, the "owner of the Taiping Building" in the capital, he made it clear that the matter of Jingzhou would not be investigated.But this promise is only for the "Taiping Building", but not for other people.Zhu Di actually still cares a lot about the incident at the beginning, and Wang Ge also knew this when he was facing the saint in the capital, so he naturally wanted to "vent" for the king.
