Dao Fruit

"We have gathered together today to settle the dispute at hand."

In the capital of Darui, in the inner city of Xingjing, the Xuanjiu Pavilion has been renovated in March and has been renovated and tripled in size. After reopening, the several floors combined can accommodate hundreds of people.

This was originally a famous tavern in the capital, but now it is used to entertain several forces.

Liu Shi sent out invitations, and people from all walks of life gathered in the lobby on the first floor to listen to Liu Shi's words.

Compared with five years ago, Liu Shi is more majestic now, and every move shows a commanding air. This is the result of having been in a high position for a long time and cultivated authority.

He looked at the gathering of people from all walks of life, and felt that compared to Qiu Yan back then, he was not trying to make any concessions. Not only the academies of all parties, but also several master disciples from Taoist sects were also on the list, even the newly rising Shamen The eminent monks were also sitting in the hall, not to mention the Tian Zhi Mo who stood on all sides, who also came.

It's just that the atmosphere was somewhat awkward and solemn. There were many frictions and even deep grievances between the parties present. The reason why they gathered together was to get the name of orthodoxy from the court, and be fair and aboveboard. The luck of plundering!

Liu Shi was also very aware of this, but Tian didn't feel bad about it. For him, as long as a few promises and approvals from the court could stabilize these people, and then use them to provoke each other to fight and carry out checks and balances, It is a manifestation of his superb skills.

"I am already aware of your requests. This matter of Donghua's promotion has always been handled by me. The reason why I am able to have the current Qi is because I have condensed it..." Liu Shi was about to say something about his merits. After letting everyone express their gratitude, spread the word to increase your prestige. He already knew from the mouths of left-handed sorcerers that as prestige rises, luck gathers, and there are great benefits after upgrading.

But halfway through his words, he was interrupted by a sneer.

"Liu Xiangguo, it's better to put all these words away. The current situation. Who doesn't know that it was the Marquis of Dingguo who opened the door? Even if you say it all, it will be useless."

The voice was a little cold. The meaning of the words was not ambiguous at all, going straight to the core, which made Liu Shi change his face and his face darkened. Looking around, he saw a serious and rigid face.

"Oh? It turns out to be Mr. Feng. I wonder what you want to teach me? Otherwise, you can tell me first." Five years ago, Qiu Yan retired to seclusion. Liu Shi went through a power struggle and gained great power. Being talked back to. He lost face like this in public, and there was a chill in his words, under the background of power. A feeling of heaviness arises.

But this was meant to scare the other party. Unexpectedly, Mr. Feng was not polite and said directly: "I am just not talented. I have nothing to teach the Prime Minister. I just hope you will keep it short. Everyone here is not idle. Everyone here has something to ask for. However, I, the Zhulin Bookstore, don’t have so many thoughts and have no desire, so I can speak impartially.”

These words offended many people present, but everyone had heard of Mr. Feng's reputation and didn't find it strange.

Who do you know this person is? But his surname was Feng Mingzhao, who had also gone to Beijing that year and met Qiu Yan several times.

This person was called pedantic, ignorant, and harsh in his words. After some time after the examination, he left the capital and went to the south of the Yangtze River. A few years ago, he established a book club, gathered the township party, and studied under the name "Bamboo Forest". It is Qiu Xue's way of knowing and doing, but he has his own opinions. He is quite famous in Jiangnan. He is known as Mr. Zhulin. There are many noble people in the society and he has a lot of scholarly luck, so he will be invited.

The world conference convened by Liu Shi actually had Yin and Yang Dao to help him. The invitations he sent out were not aimless, but were based on fame and fame in order to gather luck. Mr. Feng Zhao of Zhulin had luck behind him, so he Also among them.

As soon as Feng Zhao spoke up, the others couldn't sit still and began to make noises, intending to get Liu Shi to provide practical benefits.

A man wearing a bundt and an animal skin stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Xiang Liu, the Marquis of Dingguo distributed seeds to us, and many gentlemen came and went to teach the people in the marsh to read and write. They all treated them equally, and now the new appointee The Jiannan Observer has gone back on his word and wants us to pay tribute of money, medicinal materials, animal skins, flesh and blood in order to exchange seeds. He is making things difficult in every possible way. Could it be that we, the people of Southern Xinjiang, are not the great emperor's subjects?"

Liu Shi frowned slightly: "Chief Yuan, I already know what you said, and I have sent people to investigate and investigate, and I will give you justice..."

The speaker's name is Yuan Shoufang. He was originally the patriarch of a Chinese village at the southern foot of Jiuling Mountain. Later, southern Xinjiang surrendered, and the situation changed drastically. The people in the Marsh gradually became peaceful, the status of the Darui people rose, and the status of the village also changed. As he continued to rise, the leader of the village, Yuan Shoufang, became even more powerful in martial arts, and soon became as famous as the Marsh King Glolan. Because of his bloodline, it fell to him to deal with the officials of the Central Plains Dynasty.

Now, improper policies and measures have caused instability in southern Xinjiang again. The origin has something to do with Liu Shi. The newly appointed Jiannan Road observer is an official of his group. He is a pawn of the party and relies on each other. After building connections, he was valued by Liu Shi. After giving enough money, he was sent to southern Xinjiang to gain political achievements. Every peck and every drink had a cause and effect.

But there are times when there is backlash.

Qiu Yan's arrangement for southern Xinjiang was to be taken step by step. It must be slowly integrated, with both kindness and power, and with morality and fear of power before it can be effective. However, the newly appointed observer was young and energetic, and believed that he was better than his predecessors. , unwilling to follow the rules and pursue immediate results.

On the other hand, when this observation person grew up, it was when the Wenwang was booming, and he also had the qualifications. He absorbed knowledge from the Internet very early, so he was well-informed. He thought he was more knowledgeable than his predecessors, and felt that the ancients were The law and the laws of his predecessors were all backward and inappropriate. As soon as he came to power, he thought that the time had come and used radical methods to forcibly absorb the people in the marsh. It was not enough to make households and equalize the people. They also had to completely change customs and use administrative means. , change people's hearts by force.

If this can be accomplished, it will be a great achievement that will go down in history.

The observer was somewhat shrewd. He sent someone to send a letter to Liu Shi in advance, talking about the division of labor, which made Liu Shi very excited.

Liu Shi thought that when Qiu Yan was in power, the literary network was incomplete, the organization was unlimited, backward and outdated, but it was still possible. Now that things have changed, it is not appropriate to follow Qiu Yan's method, and it also seems that Qiu Yan is strategizing. , but it was not beautiful, so he agreed to the matter.

He even planned to work up and down to take all the credit for Qiu Yan's past achievements as his own after the matter was accomplished. After all, for many things, the world only looked at the results and did not ask about the process, and had no intention of exploring the root cause.

However, Qiu Yan's arrangement was mainly about safety and respect for the people in the marsh. Although it was purposeful, it was not extreme and had already won the hearts of the people. This new observation made him act, but it aroused the hearts of the people in the marsh and started to cause trouble. The big tail cannot be lost, so that the fortune of the people in the swamp is restored. Although it promotes Donghua's luck, it is not a good thing for Dali.

"Whether it's fair or not is what the Prime Minister says."

On one side, Liu Shi wanted to appease Yuan Shoufang, but someone else stood up on the other side, but it was a scholar named Yang Chi, with a calm demeanor and a smile on his face.

Upon seeing this person, Liu Shi frowned even more tightly, knowing that things were getting complicated.

This Yang Chi is also considered a person from Jiannan, but he is not in Shu. He was exiled for committing a crime. This person has established a firm foothold in Jiannan and has a lot of momentum. He is one of the first batch of people who can ask the Stove Lord to fall into God and use his magic attack. person.

For this reason, he was highly regarded by the local princes and nobles. There was another turmoil a few years ago, and he was finally elected as a gentleman by Jiannan Wulin and Lulin. His influence was not small, so he had a certain amount of luck.

What's more important is that this man is a trusted citizen of Zao Gong!

Not only was he a loyal citizen of Zao Gong, but so was Yuan Shoufang. Both of them placed their trust in Zao Gong above all else, and they were famous family members of Zao Gong in the south.

You must know that today's Zao Gong is not a newly emerged minor god. He was worshiped by the previous emperor, enjoyed temples and received blessings, prayed to heaven and earth, and was named a prince. He himself was ranked as a heavenly king, with a high status and the highest title The starry sky!

Such a god is the leader among his believers, and his power is so great that sometimes it even exceeds the control of the world. Even ordinary people dare not disobey it.

It is precisely because of this relationship that Yuan Shoufang and Yang Chi are connected, and they also have dual identities.

On the surface, he is a representative of the people of Nanjiang Marsh, as well as representatives of the underworld, green forest, etc. in Jiannan Road, but his deeper identity is actually that he came to represent the Shinto and seek luck.

However, no one present revealed this identity.

But also because of this internal connection, there is a tacit understanding between Yuan Shoufang and Yang Chi. They help each other and advance and retreat together. Yang Chi's step forward is what he should do.

"Liu Xiangguo, the former observer of Ye Yunye, advocated the rule of Xiao and Cao Sui, and followed the political laws of Dingguohou. Therefore, the people were happy, the swamps were healthy, and the great situation was ruined in one day. It is a pity for people, even the martial arts comrades in Jiannan are also quite regretful..."

As Yang Chi spoke, he walked out a few steps from his seat, raised his hands to the people present, and talked eloquently: "Today's chaos is not just in Jiannan, but also in Shannan Road. It was originally under the rule of Qiao Qingqiao, the censor. There was peace, and there was a creation workshop arranged by Marquis Dingguo, and the people's families were getting richer and richer. However, not long ago, Yushi Qiao was deposed by the Prime Minister, and the situation was getting worse day by day. A few days ago, there were evil officials who raped people's daughters. If Li Le, the flower hunter from back then, hadn't passed by and drawn his sword to help when he saw an injustice, I'm afraid there would have been more public resentment. "

Liu Shi's eyelids twitched and he couldn't help but said: "Mr. Yang, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly."

Hearing this, Yang Chi smiled slightly: "The imperial court is well-informed. You should know that not long ago, a heroes meeting was held in Shu. All the heroes gathered together. They talked about the gradual decline of new laws in recent years, the rampant corruption of corrupt officials, and the excessive taxation at the border. We are here. Jianghu also has a heart of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and always thinks of serving the country, but one person can only save three or two people, and only if the government is upright can it benefit the world, so after discussing it, we came up with a proposal. "

"What proposal?" Liu Shi spoke in a low voice, with a vague premonition, and his face turned dark. (To be continued)
