Chapter Thirty-Four: Green Stone Long Le

reatly benefit Feng Yue in his future bid for succession as the head of the sect.Jiang Wang was very attentive in talking to Feng Ming, hoping to use this young master's connections to get into Qingyu...Looking back on the past, I am filled with remorse. Only then did I realize that the virtuous are unmatched by even the most wise prince. Alas, Xu Fang lacked virtue and caused the nation to lose its wise heir.

"Confess to the heavens, offering my liver and intestines as atonement!"

Xu Fang in front of the Qing Shi Palace, didn't know how fast this matter was spreading.

When he finished the last eight words, he changed from a crawling posture to a kneeling position.

Then, drawing a dagger, tears streaming down his face, he slashed into his body, cutting open his own liver and intestines!

Self-reflection and introspection of the liver and gallbladder, to illuminate one's heart.

The once-a-year spectacular scene of maple leaves turning crimson in the evening is now in full bloom.

All the people sitting in the Xiashan Guest House were prominent figures in Linzi.

Among them, the leader of the Four Seas Merchant Alliance, Qing Xi, and the great Confucian scholar Li Zhengshu of Shimen Li clan were especially perceptive.

The scenery is picturesque, and the banquet is full of joy.

But as more and more servants came in to whisper, the atmosphere gradually changed.

Li Zhengshu, a master of qigong, lost his composure for a brief moment.

Qing Xi's clouded old eyes suddenly flared with brilliance, so bright it was impossible to look directly at them.

As the highest-ranking figures in attendance, their gaffe was immediately noticed by everyone.

Only Chong Xuan himself remained as usual, talking and laughing.

Xu placed himself outside the Qingshi Palace to plead guilty.

Many people cannot understand the significance of this matter.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

In the twenty-eighth year of Emperor Yuanfeng, which is also the 3892nd year of Daoli.

Xu Fanghui cursed fiercely at Qi Guo's crown prince, Jiang Wuliang, at that time. The most vicious sentence he said was: "To bear the weight of a society, yet unable to carry even a feather. To be in the most important position in the world, yet unable to accommodate a single thought. Since you are devoutly devoted to Buddhism, why not spend your life in solitude and contemplation"

Jiang Wuliang was close to the Buddhist sect and devout in his faith. This was also a point that Qi Emperor disliked deeply.

Xu Fangzhi's scolding was seen as the beginning of a wave, which unleashed a massive tide of condemnation against Jiang Wuliang from all corners of the court and government.

After a scolding, petitions of protest from all over the country poured in like rain.

Thus, Jiang Wuliang only lasted for a year before being deposed in the twenty-ninth year of Yuan Feng.

However, today Xu Fang said that what he had scolded the previous day were all nonsense and "used distorted and shameless words to defile the honorable body of a virtuous person."

Belittling oneself, saying that one's words are drivel.

Though his whole family perished, he only said "Heaven strikes down wicked people, punishing their evil intestines," taking it as his own karmic retribution and believing he deserved it.

What is he going to do

At first glance, it's obvious.

He was willing to sacrifice his own life to clear the name of the deposed prince!

However, is this really so easy to correct

What was the background behind Jiang Wuliang's being deposed back then

Five years before he was deposed, a major event that shook the world occurred in the Eastern Region.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

That is to say, in the twenty-fourth year of the Qilu Yuanfeng era, and the 3888th year of the Dao calendar. In this year, a decisive battle took place between Qi and Xia, which would determine the dominance of the Eastern Region.

The final victor of this great war was the State of Qi, who drove the Xia state back to the southern regions. For the next thirty years, they did not venture north again.

Zhong Xuan and Zhu Liang also gained fame in this battle, establishing their reputation as fierce killers.

However, before this war began, Jiang Wuliang was the most staunch advocate for peace. He single-handedly led negotiations with the Xia Kingdom, resulting in a division of the Eastern Region between the two sides. His political stance, based on the unstable internal situation of Qi at the time, advocated for recuperation and self-cultivation before resorting to military action. Of course, this need not be elaborated further.

The current Emperor Qi considers himself to be like Emperor Qi Mu and is determined to go to war. No one can dissuade him. Prince Jiang Wuluo took the lead in advising against it, but he directly confined Jiang Wuluo, forbidding him from speaking. This incident also announced the complete failure of the peace faction at the time.

After the Battle of Qi Xia, the State of Qi achieved a decisive victory, establishing its dominance in the eastern region.

Emperor Qi proved his valor, in contrast, Prince Jiang Wuliang demonstrated his cowardice and incompetence.

After the war, Jiang Wuliang still endured five years as crown prince until the mad scholar Xu Fang scolded him, causing uprisings across the land. Subsequently, the East Palace was deposed.

Xu Fang said he had been wrong to criticize him. He was misled and, therefore, equivalent to saying that Jiang Wuliang was right back then. Jiang Wuliang was destroyed by conspiracy and lost in political struggles, not because he lacked talent or virtue.

Then, who is wrong

And how big of an impact did this have

If you say it's big, it's big. If you say it's small, it's small.

It is called small because it is only a handful of people, incapable of changing the situation for Jiang Wuliang at all. It poses no threat to Jiang Wu Hua's position as prince and has almost no impact on the political landscape of Qi Nation—even if Xu Fang's posture is so tragic.

>

It's called "big" because it suggests that there might be a force trying to overturn Jiang Wuliang's situation. Clearing his past reputation is probably just the first step of a bigger plan.

And the long-missing Xu Fang was precisely that chess piece used to test the waters.

> To put it mildly, this could very well anger Emperor Qi.

In the twenty-ninth year of Yuanfeng, Jiang Wuliang was deposed. At the same time, Ku Rongyuan, a Buddhist temple in the Eastern Regions that had once been second only to Xuankong Temple, was razed to the ground by order of Emperor Qi.

In the thirty-fifth year of Emperor Yuanfeng, when Jiang Wuliang privately expressed resentment towards his father's ruler, Emperor Qi executed seventeen officials who pleaded for Jiang Wuliang's pardon in one breath. He then imprisoned Jiang Wuliang in Qingshi Palace, where he died of old age.

The Emperor Qi's disappointment and disgust towards his eldest son was almost common knowledge.

Then, where does this power attempting to overturn the situation for Jiang WuLiang come from

If one were to investigate Xu Fang carefully, the truth about his family being forced to death eighteen years ago would naturally become clear.

As for someone like Ru Qingxi, a long-time rival of the Ju Bao Chamber of Commerce, he naturally knows all too well how the Ju Bao Chamber of Commerce drove the entire Xu family to their deaths.

In fact, Xu Fang developed a dislike for the Treasure Gathering Association only after he had people gather evidence against it.

Jing Xi especially knew a detail. Back then, the Jubao Merchant Association had some dealings with Jiang Wuliang. Su Shea, with his extremely keen eyesight, completed the severance before Jiang Wuliang’s downfall, thus avoiding the subsequent purge.

The Treasure Pavilion Merchant Guild retaliated against Xu Fang, driving his entire family to death. This matter can be made big or small.

How small can this thing be

The entire Xu family was wiped out. Xu Fang, once renowned in Linzi, had his Dao heart shattered and his cultivation ruined, reduced to a street beggar living a life worse than death for eighteen years... Unattended by anyone!

But how big could this thing be

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

Xu Fang, acting as the vanguard against Jiang Wuliang, suffered retaliation after Jiang Wuliang was imprisoned in Qing Shi Palace for a year. Is there any connection between these events

Especially Xu Fangxiao, who had disappeared for many years after his voice was released, appeared and confessed everything, proving his sincerity.

If you connect all of this, it's easy to feel as if an invisible hand is forcing Xu Fang to lower his head, ruthlessly compelling him to change his stance.

Regardless of who the master behind this hand is, whether it's Jiang Wuliang himself or those who want to crush him.

But this hand itself, without a doubt, can be equated to the Treasure Pavilion.

Regardless of whether you can find out who is behind it, it will be difficult to keep this hand.

It can be said that at this time, the Ju Bao Chamber of Commerce has been pushed to the brink!

Is this related to Chongxuan Sheng

Outsiders might not be able to tell, and there is no evidence to support it. But for Li Zhengshu who witnessed Chongxuan Sheng's performance in person, and for Qingxi who had a thorough understanding of Chongxuan Sheng after his disastrous defeat at Yangdi and closely followed him ever since, they naturally had their own judgments in mind.

This Chong Xuan Sheng, he's not just looking to teach the Ju Bao Merchant Association a lesson, but to completely obliterate them with one blow!

So, figures like Li Zhengshu and Qing Xi would naturally be deeply moved and pale with shock!

And all those present at the Xiashan Villa today are bearing witness to Chong Xuan Sheng's innocence, proving he had nothing to do with it.

Thinking of these things, and then looking at the radiant smile on Chong Xuan Ming's face on the main seat, I felt very sorry for him.

“Master Sheng!”

Here's the translation:

Yet everyone saw, the esteemed leader of the Four Seas Merchant Alliance, Qing Xi, tremblingly stood up and actually raised his wine cup to toast Chong Xuan Sheng!

Even Chong Xuanming, whose light had always been bright and radiant, felt something was amiss at that moment.

"Only hearing Qing Xi speak publicly: “This old man’s control over his subordinates was lax, and those below me offended many in the Yang domain. Thankfully, thanks to Young Master Sheng’s discipline, we were able to avert disaster at the last moment. Young Master Sheng does not hold past grievances and invites us to see the scenery together. This old man feels deeply moved! I hope that in the future, we can cooperate even more."

Having said that, he first drank it all.

Zhong Xuan excitedly stood up and repeatedly said, "Senior Qing, you are truly magnanimous. This junior is eternally grateful!"

After finishing three cups of wine, he said, "As for the matter of cooperation... it's a deal!"

Master's heart pounded tighter as he gazed upon the breathtaking scenery before him. The crimson maple leaves danced with the fading sunset, a spectacle of unparalleled beauty.

Look at the mountains, clouds, and sky, all tinged red, suddenly it feels like they've been stained with blood!As if a bolt of lightning had struck the night sky!What if... Lady Lei Guifei hadn't diedNobody would believe that a pregnant woman would design such a dangerous assassination plot herself.So, what if...
