BSI Two Hundred And Fortieth Chapters
Two Hundred And Fortieth Chapters
Nine immortal peaks, unexpectedly five have people stepping forward, willing to send support to the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty to resolve their northern border troubles.
All of them are representatives of prestigious families.
Are they really not willing to contribute to the righteousness of the human race?
Bullshit!
Chu Shen saw through their ulterior motives at a glance.
This is not just about saving face for him, but also about reaching a beneficial compromise with the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty. They are willing to use a lot of leverage to help the envoy from the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty put pressure on Wang Chen and force him to leave the Langxuan Heavenly Palace. Even if he doesn't go to the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty to apologize, he must first handle the matters of the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty.
In handling the matter of Li Jinrong, there were flaws in his approach. The prestigious families brought up the righteousness of the human race. Even if the Holy Lord and his master were biased, they still had to show their attitude in dealing with subsequent events. Otherwise, it would be difficult to convince the public.
And once he leaves the Langxuan Heavenly Palace, Yan Shu, his senior sister, may not be able to continue his policies. The vigorous reform and reorganization will inevitably face great obstacles.
He can't let his master, who is the sect's Holy Lord, personally intervene, right?
Then there would be no room for maneuvering.
Once he leaves, the reorganization will be forced to be postponed, giving the prestigious families a chance to catch their breath.
When he returns, it will be difficult to continue the reorganization!
It seems that the leverage brought out by the prestigious families is considerable, enough to make ordinary people feel heartbroken, but they have achieved their strategic goals and have not suffered any losses!
Indeed, in the following debate, it was evident that the Tang Xian Dynasty delegation and the Langhuan Heavenly Palace aristocratic family were clearly putting on a coordinated performance. In their words and between the lines, they couldn't avoid the fact that Chu Shen had to personally make a trip to the Tang Xian Dynasty, whether it was to apologize or propose marriage, there had to be an explanation.
The aristocratic families used their acting skills as if they were reading from a script, describing the enormous price they had paid to uphold the reputation of the Heavenly Palace. How could Vice Palace Master Chu not respond?
Even though Chu Shen knew what they were scheming, unfortunately, this time it was a public plot.
"Master, there's no need to argue. Your disciple will go to the Tang Xian Dynasty and resolve the matter with Jinrong," Chu Shen said, his eyes darting around.
Wangchen glared at him, thinking of standing up for him, but you're compromising already?
Chu Shen winked, indicating that he had another idea.
Seeing this, Wangchen furrowed his brows slightly, but he also knew that it wouldn't be good for the Heavenly Palace to resist. He reluctantly agreed.
Then Chu Shen spoke up, "You demand that I, as the Vice Palace Master, personally go to the Tang Xian Dynasty to resolve this matter. Fine, I agree. But you must not reduce the promised manpower and resources by even a bit! I'll be watching you!"
The representatives of the aristocratic families smiled brightly. As long as they could send this troublemaker far away, what's a little manpower and resources? Who would be foolish enough to give up an advantage?
They all expressed that they would never go back on their word!
This meeting, or rather argument, has finally come to an end. Forget Dust signaled the end of the meeting, and the members of the prominent families openly joined the delegation from the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty, happily "discussing" matters of contribution.
Forget Dust then left Chu Shen behind and asked, "What were you thinking? How could you agree to their demands?"
Chu Shen helplessly replied, "I had no choice but to agree. This group was determined to win this time. If we continued to argue, it would probably last for days and nights. Don't you see? In order to drive me away, they promised manpower and resources. For these stingy people, this is a display of their determination. If we don't agree, they might really raise the banner of rebellion."
Forget Dust thought for a moment and sighed, "Your recent series of actions have indeed angered them."
Chu Shen didn't mind. He also wanted peace and harmony for everyone. But those people saw him as an opportunity. There are fundamental contradictions among us, so we can only clash with them. "Even if we anger them, we must continue to implement reforms. Master, don't you want to see a day when Langxuan Heavenly Palace becomes the world of those few families?"
Forget Dust thought about the flaws of Yan Shu and other disciples and rubbed his forehead with a headache. "Now you are forced to go to the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty. Who else in the sect can continue to implement reforms in your place? Or should I personally intervene?"
Chu Shen said, "Master, you can't intervene. Once you intervene, it will force the various families to show their hands. What's worse is that even if you can temporarily suppress the situation and make those families stay in the Heavenly Palace reluctantly, their power is still there, and they will eventually become restless."
Forget Dust also knew this, but he just wanted to know what Chu Shen would do next.
Chu Shen didn't keep it a secret anymore. "In fact, we have always overlooked a force. This time, let them take the stage and fight against the prominent families."
Forget Dust was taken aback and frowned, pondering for a while. "The Tianjiao faction?"
Chu Shen nodded and smiled, "To be precise, it's those disciples who haven't been swayed by the prominent families, lack sufficient resources, and have decent qualifications. During this period of time, we have been hurting each other with the prominent families, and many positions have been vacated on various peaks. This has given these suppressed individuals a chance, and many of them have emerged."
They are well aware of their original position and have a natural need to confront the aristocratic families.
When I go to the Great Tang Xian Dynasty, there will definitely be conflicts between the two sides due to the relaxation of control over the aristocratic families.
At that time, the person who replaces me should handle the relevant affairs impartially and adequately."
Wang Chen smiled bitterly, "What I lack the most right now is a disciple who can accomplish this task. If you were here, there would be no problem. But if you're not here, Shu'er and the others..."
Speaking of Yan Shu, Wang Chen couldn't help but shake his head.
Chu Shen said in a deep voice, "Who said we must use the senior brothers and sisters from our Langxuan Peak? I think Gong Liusu and Fu Yunsheng would be good choices!"
Wang Chen was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "You little brat, you really know how to choose the right people!"
Gong Liusu, Fu Yunsheng, and others are Chu Shen's concubines, as well as outstanding figures from the Lingjian Peak, Lingshu Peak, and other immortal peaks. The advantage of this dual identity is that they can represent Chu Shen, represent the orthodox faction, and also represent the young people of Langxuan Tian Palace, representing those outstanding disciples.
The most crucial point is that as Chu Shen's concubines, they are united with Chu Shen's interests and will inevitably follow his orders.
Indeed, they are good candidates for handling matters.
Of course, Wang Chen is not worried that the power of Chu Shen's family will become too great.
Firstly, these are all young people without the support of the Holy Lord, and their prestige is not enough to influence the authority of the Holy Lord.
Secondly, Chu Shen has discussed with him before about the formation and development of the aristocratic families, and has proposed some effective solutions, including the Chu family itself.
Therefore, Wang Chen has great trust in Chu Shen, even if the candidates he recommends this time are his concubines.
