A knife in love

Chapter 1833

Li Qiufeng heard Liu Shengzongyan say this, and thought to himself, this old thief is clearly lying again!For example, Shinobu Morita, Kogoro Morita and his son were all valued by senior Liu Zongyan in the past.According to Liu Feiyan, both Morita Kogoro and Yanagyu Zongyan have received the true biography of Liu Zongyan's predecessors. The two have strengths and weaknesses.Later, Liu Sheng Zongyan poisoned him secretly, killing senior Liu Zongyan.The old thief regarded himself as the successor of Liu Zongyan's predecessor, the patriarch of the Liusheng clan.Although Kogoro Morita was not convinced, he didn't know that Senior Liu Zongyan had been killed by the old thief Yagyu, so naturally he didn't dare to disobey the last words of Senior Liu Zongyan fabricated by the old thief Liu Sheng.It's just that although Morita Kogoro didn't dare to turn against the old thief Yagyu, he didn't bother to use the old thief's surname as his own. He still had the surname "Morita" and refused to change his name to Yagyu Kogoro.Among the villagers who wanted to come to Hanshan Fishing Village, there were many who were not convinced by Liu Sheng's old thief.Although the old thief Liusheng hated Morita Kogoro and others, he had a guilty conscience for murdering Senior Liu Zongyan. If Morita Kogoro and others were eliminated again, the villagers would definitely become suspicious.The old villain Liu Sheng was determined to be an emperor, so he had to rely on these villagers. In order to buy people's hearts, he had no choice but to hold back.Hmph, although you old thief is insidious, cunning, and extremely vicious, but you have been tossing around in the Central Plains for more than ten years, and most of the villagers in the Hanshan fishing village who sneaked into Daming with you were killed, which is considered a bad retribution.

Liu Sheng Zongyan didn't know that Li Qiufeng knew many secrets of the Liu Sheng clan from Liu Feiyan, so he continued to say to himself: "I dare not say anything else, but I can do things fairly. Because of this, whether it is Han Shan The villagers who were born and bred in the fishing village, or the people who joined the Hanshan fishing village later, were extremely respectful to the old man. Later, when the old man became famous, not only the county governor looked at the old man with special respect, but even the daimyo sent someone to invite the old man to the house to discuss important matters. The old man thought that I am just a humble person in a remote place, and I cannot go to the hall, let alone sit and discuss with the sheriff, daimyo and other officials. However, the reputation of Hanshan fishing village is growing, and officials come to invite them one after another.

"At first, the old man was very nervous. When talking with these adults, he often sweated profusely. But after meeting them a few times, he realized that no matter whether it is a county guard or a famous name, they are just ordinary people. They don't know martial arts, and even When walking, they also need servants to help them. And each of them has little knowledge and is extremely vulgar. Only then did the old man understand that the so-called county guards, daimyo and other officials are nothing more than relying on the shadow of their ancestors to sit on high positions. In fact, each of them It's full of wine bags and rice bags, without half a skill.

"The old man saw the true colors of these officials, and thought to himself, the world is in chaos today, and the people are in dire straits. The reason is because of these waste corpses. They can rely on the shadow of their ancestors to dominate and harm the world. The people's wives and children are separated, poor and helpless. The old man's virtue is thousands of times better than them, why can't he replace him?!"

When Liu Sheng Zongyan said this, he sighed heavily, and then he said to himself: "If the old man could not live up to his ambitions, he might be much happier in the future. To be a famous minister and general is to spend a lot of money to buy off officials, big and small, and let them recommend me to the court, and at the same time eliminate rebels and bandits for the court, in order to get in. In vain. After only five years of work, the old man was jointly recommended by several big names, and went to the capital to become one of the four ministers of the seven provinces. One year later, he was favored by the emperor and promoted to the third minister. As far as I know, in the 200 years of Fusang Kingdom’s court, only one person has been promoted from five or more officials. Haha, haha.”

Neither Li Qiufeng nor Qi Jiu knew about the ranks of officials in the Fusang Kingdom. Hearing Liu Shengzongyan mention that he was an official in the court of the Fusang Kingdom, he was overwhelmed with pride. The three, most of them correspond to the official ranks of Cong Wupin, Zheng Sipin, and Cong Sanpin of the Central Plains court.Although this old guy is strong in martial arts, cunning and insidious, but when it comes to being an official, he has a complacent expression.After the old thief arrived in the Central Plains, even though he was a bereaved dog, he wanted to usurp the Great Ming Dynasty.It can be seen that this person is obsessed with official career, addicted to official fans, and incurable.

I only heard Liu Sheng Zongyan continue to say: "Although the old man is in the officialdom, it is smooth sailing, but after a long time, I realized that the officialdom is turbulent. Compared with the intrigue among the villains in Hanshan Fishing Village, the risk is a hundred times and a thousand times stronger. One mistake, It was a great tragedy of the destruction of the whole family. The old man was jointly recommended by several big names to become an official in the court. Naturally, these political opponents of the big names regarded the old man as an enemy, fanned the flames among the court ministers, and said all the bad things about the old man. It's not that the old man has the military merits of exterminating bandits and robbers, I'm afraid he would have fallen long ago.

"When the old man first came to the court, he didn't know about the nasty things among the officials. It's just that he suffered a lot and understood a lot of things. The old man is arrogant, how can he be bullied by these dirty officials? But the old man also Knowing that these guys have been operating in the court for many years, if you want to fight against them, you will have to suffer a lot by yourself. Therefore, the old man has to flatter court officials, and inadvertently, he has fallen into party disputes.

"At the beginning, the old man made a lot of profits, and was promoted by the emperor to Da Nayan. He was a high-ranking official, just like the generals and ministers that you Han people in the Central Plains most admire. From a high-ranking minister of the Taizheng, it is not far behind."

When Liu Sheng Zongyan said this, Wang Xiaoyu frowned and said, "Is a minister of the Taizheng the highest position of a minister? Don't you have a high-ranking official in Fusang?"

Liu Sheng Zongyan glanced at Wang Xiaoyu, and said with a look of disdain: "If there is a follower, there must be a leader. The official position of the leader is also called the Minister of the Taizheng, but this official position is not for living people. , but from the fact that if a great minister of the Taizheng died in office, the emperor promoted him to Zhengyipin in order to praise his achievements, which is also the highest official rank in Fusang Kingdom."

When Liu Sheng Zongyan said this, he paused for a while, and then said: "Your Zuo Zongzheng, Zuo Zongren, Sangong, etc. of the Ming Dynasty are also the first grade, but they either have no real power and become empty titles, or they are granted after death. These people must not be allowed to hold power. Although the Fusang Kingdom is very different from the Ming Dynasty, the emperor guards against the rebellion of the ministers, but it is the same. The old man entered the court as a white man, but within a few years, he became the leader of the three Nayan, it can be regarded as a rare thing in Fusang country through the ages.

"It's just that the bigger the official position, the greater the risk. The political opponents didn't take me seriously at first, but I didn't expect that the old man came out of the blue and became a high-ranking official. The political opponents immediately regarded the old man as a big enemy. It's because the old man was too kind and didn't act first, so he was framed by these shameless officials. The old man has seen all kinds of filth and filth in the officialdom, and he doesn't want to be an official with these bastards anymore. That is to say, I resigned from the official position, and I want to return to Hanshan fishing village and become a rich and carefree man."
