Taiping Inn

It is no secret that Li Xuandu almost died in the Imperial Capital, and it is well known that he fell into exile because of this. Li Xuandu brought up this matter at this time, of course, not to settle accounts later, but just to make a characterization of the past Four-Six Dispute.

If the wind starts from the tip of the green duckweed, then the Four-Six Dispute probably started after Situ Wentai's death. When Situ Xuance became famous all over the world, one thing had become a consensus among the knowledgeable people in the world, that is, the leadership of the Zhengyi Sect was challenged by the rising star Qingwei Sect, and thus two factions emerged, one for war and the other for peace. Situ Xuance advocated peace and died because of this. After Situ Xuance's death, the pro-war faction gained the upper hand, and the four Taoist sects headed by Qingwei Sect and the six Taoist sects headed by Zhengyi Sect began a comprehensive confrontation that lasted for many years.

The dispute between the four and six sects reached its peak in the first year of Tianbao. Because they were both righteous at that time, the two sides had been in a situation of fighting but not breaking. It was not good to compete like the Yuxu sword fight, nor was it good to fight directly on a large scale. The change in the imperial capital in the second year of Tianbao gave both sides an opportunity.

Because Li Xuandu entered the capital and met Zhang Suqing, there was a connection between the Qingwei Sect and Zhang Suqing. At that time, Zhang Suqing was abandoned by the Confucian sect because his implementation of the new policy touched the fundamental interests of the Confucian sect. He needed to borrow the power of the Taoist sect, so the two sides hit it off and became allies.

Xie Zhi saw this opportunity and secretly summoned the six sects of the righteous path to the capital. Xie Zhi was not Emperor Muzong, and was not sure whether he could invite the six sects of the righteous path. It was the entry of the Qingwei Sect that gave her hope. As Xie Zhi expected, the six sects of the righteous path did not want to see the Qingwei Sect become powerful in the court, so they were summoned.

Under such circumstances, the Confucian school was not optimistic about Xie Zhi or Zhang Suqing. After Xie Zhi agreed to hand over Emperor Tianbao to the Confucian school, the Confucian school chose to sit on the sidelines and completely abandoned the "obstinate" four ministers headed by Zhang Suqing. Therefore, in the change of the imperial capital, the presence of the Confucian school was very weak, and they were not there at all.

Therefore, the four-six dispute in the rivers and lakes and the power struggle in the temple were tied on a line because of various reasons such as the new policy.

A big change was inevitable.

At that time, there were only two neutral sects in the twelve sects of the righteous way, namely Jingchan Sect and Taiping Sect. Although the two sects had biases, they did not really stand in line. For the sake of the overall situation, Abbot Fang Jing of Jingchan Sect and Mr. Shen of Taiping Sect decided to go to the imperial capital to mediate the increasingly fierce four-six dispute. They did not dare to expect that the two sides would stop fighting and make peace, but only asked the two sides not to kill each other and completely tear each other apart.

If nothing unexpected happened, the trip of Mr. Shen and Abbot Fang Jing would have allowed both sides to take a step back, but something unexpected happened.

This accident was the geomancer Xu Wugui.

The appearance of Xu Wugui also had a lot to do with Xie Zhi. After all, Xie Zhi's entry into the palace was planned by Xu Wugui. For a long time, Xie Zhi's status was similar to Tan Taiyun. Both were important chess pieces favored by Xu Wugui, but both eventually broke away from Xu Wugui's control and set up their own businesses.

Xie Zhi planned this change in the imperial capital, but she was also afraid that both sides would remain restrained in the end, which would lead to her embarrassing situation, unable to move or retreat, so Xie Zhi secretly asked Xu Wugui to come forward again.

Xu Wugui was also paying attention to this matter secretly, thinking that this was a great opportunity to fish in troubled waters, but he still lacked a suitable opportunity to break in. After all, Zhang Jingxiu and Li Daoxu were not easy to deal with. If he accidentally aroused their vigilance, he would become the target of public criticism and be targeted by the two of them. Therefore, Xu Wugui and Xie Zhi hit it off, laying the groundwork for him to take down Jingchan Sect and hold Shen Wuyou, a master of Shen University, hostage in the future.

On the night of the Imperial Capital Incident, including the old Tianshi Zhang Jingxiu and the great swordsman Li Daoxu, a total of seven people from the righteous path entered the palace, including Zhang Jingxiu's side. There were three people, Li Daoxu's side, and the abbot Fang Jing of Jingchan Sect and Mr. Shen of Taiping Sect, a total of seven people. The reason why Abbot Fang Jing and Mr. Shen came here was to mediate and ask Pindao and Brother Li Dao not to make a big fuss. ”

At that time, there was a young eunuch beside Xie Zhi. No one had ever thought that the Earth Master, the former King of Qi, would actually disguise himself as a eunuch, so no one was prepared. At that time, the Earth Master had been preparing for a long time and suddenly attacked. He first used the "Taiyi Fa Jue" to break the protective treasures of the two sect masters, and then activated the "Xiaoyao Liuxu Jie" of the Yin-Yang Sect. Yin and Yang reversed, light and darkness transformed, and water and fire suddenly rose. Mr. Shen of the Taiping Sect suffered four disasters of Yin Fire, Xuanbing, Tianfeng, and Lei Li, and died on the spot. Abbot Fang Jing of the Jingchan Sect suffered two disasters of Netherworld and Red Earth, and was also seriously injured.

At that time, Zhang Jingxiu and Li Daoxu did not stop it for various considerations, even various selfishness, and let the Earth Master retreat.

After the Earth Master retreated, Zhang Jingxiu discussed the matter with Li Daoxu, and Li Daoxu agreed to give in. Abandoning Zhang Suqing was actually Li Daoxu's retreat to advance. He had long been secretly communicating with the Queen Mother Xie Zhi, so after the Imperial Capital Incident, Qingwei Sect was able to immediately enter the center of the temple and become Xie Zhi's backer, even making the Confucian school fear him.

During the entire Imperial Capital Incident, Li Xuandu, Mr. Shen, Abbot Fang Jing, and the four ministers became abandoned, and Li Xuandu was the only survivor. The reason for this is that, on the one hand, Li Xuandu was a disciple of Li Daoxu and was protected by Zhang Haishi, and on the other hand, Li Xuandu was not really a big shot at the time. Neither Xie Zhi nor the geomancer Xu Wugui cared too much about the life and death of this young man.

But no one expected that six years later, this "slippery fish" would become one of the few people who could influence the general trend of the world.

The end of the 46th dispute also has a lot to do with Li Xuan. From the peace talks between the north and the south to the initial unification of the Taoist sect, Li Xuan has always been involved.

By this time, the so-called four-six dispute had already died in name only.

The most important thing is the next big real mansion change. Li Xuan defeated Zhengyi Sect and mastered Zhengyi Sect to a certain extent. The alliance of the six sects of Zhengdao collapsed, and there is no question of the dispute between four and six.

Now, there is only the dispute between master and apprentice, which is also a struggle for intention.

Everyone here knows it well. Even if there is something unclear, I understand now.

Li Xuandu said, "Today I want to make a decision."

Everyone was silent.

Li Xuandu continued, "Saint Saint said, "Is there no descendant in the instigation of the imperial capital?" The instigation of the imperial capital was the current empress dowager Xie Zhi. I returned to the imperial capital today, to put it more, for the sake of the world. To put it more narrowly, it is for the grudges of the past. But no matter what it is for, it cannot avoid this Empress Dowager."

Bai Xiushang said, "What Zi Mansion said is right. Xie Zhi has done something against the enemy for his own selfishness and has reached the point where he must be eliminated."

Li Xuandu stood up and fisted and said, "Now Xie Zhi is going to set up a night banquet for the Overlord to repeat the change in the imperial capital that year, so I would like to ask all seniors and elders to help me, both for myself and for the people of the world, to get rid of this person. .”

Everyone first looked at each other, then stood up and said, "Let Mr. Qingping drive."

Li Xuandu faced everyone, bowed his hands and said loudly: "Please!"
