Father's love is like a mountain

Chapter 177 Panpan: My brother is the regent
After feeling the increase in strength, Xia Yongchu couldn't sit still.

What he wants is not only to improve his strength, but also to find his way home!
But there is really no way.

Small realms are controlled by various big sects.

And he wasn't even sure whether the small world where he came from was controlled by the Red Lotus Sect.

So as long as you find someone from the great sect, it will be all right?
It's not like this!

At least they have to find middle-level stewards of these big sects, or disciples of Tianjiao. These people have the right to speak in their respective sects and know some secrets.

Ordinary disciples, at best: I heard that there is a small realm in our sect.But I don't know what the small world is called, and I don't know how to get there.

Therefore, Xia Yongchu began to look for opportunities to make friends with those big sects, especially the Tianjiao disciples of the Red Lotus Sect, the middle-level managers.

But no chance.

He is just a casual cultivator, and he has no chance to make friends with the Tianjiao disciples of the big sect.

Now Xia Yongchu gets points for signing in, in addition to what is needed for practice, if he has accumulated enough 2 points, he can arrange an adventure for his adopted son and daughter.

In addition to wanting to obtain magic weapons, gang baleful energy, pills, etc., he also hopes to get to know the Tianjiao disciples of the great sect in such an adventure.

But year after year passed.

Xia Yongchu's strength is steadily improving, and he is constantly condensing Gangsha, but he has never met a disciple with enough weight.

Perhaps, he needs to improve his own strength a lot, and only when he can compete with the Jindan monks can he have the opportunity to get acquainted with those arrogances-after all, dragons do not live with snakes.

And the mainstay of each sect, the disciples of Tianjiao, are either Jindan or supernatural powers with combat power close to Jindan.

Xia Yongchu self-assessed that he can now beat Wei Dongmin's level of supernatural powers (two gangs and four evil spirits and below) at the peak of supernatural powers, but for the real arrogance of this world, that is, at least six gangs were condensed when he was condensed. He still needs to be cautious for a genius who is above the twelve evil spirits and can almost securely pre-order a top-grade golden elixir.

So, try to improve your strength, shall we?

But the harvest of the recent adventures also made him more and more dissatisfied, and his strength could not be qualitatively improved.

Or, increase the intimacy of adopted sons and adopted daughters, and exchange them for better things?
But the intimacy of the four adopted sons and adopted daughters is still at 69, and it may take an opportunity to break through to 70.

If the intimacy is less than 70, they cannot be exchanged for innate treasure bodies.

The increase in intimacy is something that Xia Yongchu cannot completely control and cannot dominate.

He can only think of other ways to improve his strength.

In the adventures of several children in the past few years, Xia Yongchu found that Xia was the most powerful, the most sophisticated in human relations, the most flexible in handling things, the luck was better, and the harvest was always the most.

Even Wei Jiang, who was with Xia Zhong, had become a Daoist. He was lucky enough to get the elixir for improving immortality and aura, and was allowed by Xia Yongchu to teach her "Changchun Kung Fu" and completed the foundation building.

This all shows that Xia Qiping's fortune is very strong.

So with no hope in sight, Xia Yongchu decided to save enough 10 points to exchange for a "legendary" level random event for the prosperous Xia Qiping, to try his luck, and see if he could find a way to quickly let himself go. Things to improve strength, or make friends with important disciples of the world's top sects such as the Red Lotus Sect.

Because the intimacy between his daughter Panpan, whom he has never met before, inexplicably increased to 28, while the intimacy between his second son Xia Qixi and him dropped to 22 inexplicably, he can now earn 276 points for signing in every day.

It takes a year to accumulate 10 points.

Considering that he still has to practice hard at ordinary times, he needs to exchange pills for his adopted sons, exchange simulated battles, etc., all of which need to be consumed, so a year and a half is almost enough.

One and a half years later, a "legendary" level random event will be opened for Xia Qiping!

~~~~
After Xia Qilie resigned as "Da Sima", he served as "Ling Yin" for a period of time, changing from a military position to a civilian position.

Although the power of "Ling Yin" has been weakened, he is still the No. 1 civil official in name, the head of a hundred officials.

Moreover, "Ling Yin" is not a pure civil servant. In the past, "Ling Yin" was also able to command and control some troops.

And with someone with real power like Xia Qilie taking up this position, a lot of power will naturally return to him.

Although he lost his military power, and after he stepped down as the "Da Sima", the military was indeed cleaned to a certain extent-some officers with bad records were killed and imprisoned, and some officers in important positions were transferred.

But the intensity of the cleaning was not great, after all, Xia Qilie had to worry about overreacting.

Small-scale purges cannot completely erase Xia Qilie's imprint on this army.

After all, he was the one who led this army to set the stage for the new dynasty.

For Xia Qilie, leading troops to fight is not something he likes to do.

His original intention was also to build a better state of Chu, and to work hard on people's livelihood and politics.

On the one hand, Xia Qilie continued to struggle and seize power with other dignitaries, on the other hand, he fought against the growing new emperor to support his own power.

And through the pilot method, he began to try some of his political reform proposals - the reason why he used the pilot method was also taught by his father, not to play tricks, but to cross the river by feeling the stones in terms of political governance, and to implement it. Summarize the experience and lessons in the process, adjust the strategy through practice, and formulate corresponding measures based on the specific conditions of each region. We must not blindly believe that there is a "panacea" that can solve all problems.

Xia Qilie, who was cautious, did not touch the bottom line of his political opponents and vested interests, and steadily advanced his political reform proposals, slowly building an utopia.

He is in no rush.

As a monk of the immortal way, he has already solidified.

His talent is outstanding, and he will definitely continue to improve in the future, becoming a cultivator with supernatural powers, and even Jindan is not out of reach.

His life span is destined to be long, so there is no need to worry.

Even if it is a political opponent, if it does not touch his bottom line, there is no need to rush to eradicate it, just wait for the opponent to die of old age.

Xia Qilie grew up slowly, slowly realizing his political ambitions.

However, not long ago, Xia Qilie realized that if he continued to serve as Ling Yin, the head of the hundred officials, although he was in power, there would be more troubles in the future.

On the one hand, in this position, he is equivalent to concentrating the firepower of all political dissidents on himself, which is very enviable. After all, the power is too great and the position is too important. It can almost be said that he is under one person and ten thousand people. above.

But now, the emperor has grown up and started supporting his cronies. The emperor is always a creature of power.

If he continues to occupy the position of "Ling Yin", it will only force the emperor to constantly struggle with himself around power, and the emperor's hostility towards him will continue to increase.

In particular, the emperor also learned that the death of the third prince was inseparable from Xia Qilie, and he had always been vigilant and repelled Xia Qilie.

Xia Qilie wanted to ease the relationship with the emperor, otherwise it would be difficult to carry out a lot of work in the future.

On the other hand, because of his relationship, the position of "Ling Yin" is equivalent to the position of "Minister", and the scope of power is constantly expanding.

If he stops being Ling Yin in the future, for example, if he does...then the power in the hands of the new Ling Yin will be too great to be restrained.

So, take a step back and open up, right?
Xia Qilie made a decision and decisively chose to resign as Ling Yin.

The emperor was very happy and made him regent in exchange for politics.

Sounds nice in name, but has much less power in reality.

But Xia Qilie is not at a loss in essence. Although he is not in Ling Yin's position, the series of reform measures he promoted have not been abandoned, because in many key positions, he helped people who are still there. Will listen to his remote control.

He just didn't stand at the top of the officials, but in fact, he was still able to respond to everyone.

Losing face, gaining face, not being so hated by others, and the relationship with the emperor has eased a lot.

Sometimes the difference between gains and losses is not so clear.

By the way, after resigning from the post of Ling Yin and becoming Regent, there is another advantage: Xia Qilie has more free time, after all, he doesn't have so many government affairs to deal with every day.

He can have more time to spend with his relatives, enjoy family happiness, and develop some personal hobbies.

As for the practice... It's strange to say that since his father disappeared, he has never practiced hard again, and he has never retreated once, but his cultivation is making rapid progress, and the refining of the shackles is also very smooth.

Perhaps because of some special talent?

Xia Qilie didn't know either.

On this day, Xia Qilie finished his business, left Prince Regent's Mansion, and strolled to Xia Mansion.

Most of the clansmen of the Xia Mansion have already moved to the capital and settled down here.

Naturally, ethnology should also be established here. After all, education is the foundation of a family, more important than land.

As long as the clansmen receive a good education from an early age, even if they encounter natural and man-made disasters, they still have a chance to make a comeback.

But if all the members of the clan are illiterate, then the clan will really decline and become silent, and it will be difficult to stand up for a long time.

According to Xia Yongchu's will, the ethnology of Xia Mansion has undergone many changes in the past ten years.

First of all, regardless of boys and girls, as long as they are of the right age and in good physical condition, they can go to school and must go to school. No excuses should be used to prevent children from going to school, otherwise the parents will be removed from the family tree-for the clan, this is the most terrible punishment !

The children of vassal families and guest officials can go to school, but there are no rigid requirements.

Secondly, teaching should be divided into stages. Children are divided into several classes according to their age, and the teaching content and progress of each class are different.

Finally, the content of the teaching is no longer limited to those classics and classics, but has added content such as arithmetic, geography, and nature. In addition, there are after-school interest classes, where you can learn the art of war, martial arts, etc., and even cooking, which is regarded as a cheap industry. .

Xia Qilie's own child was too young to go to school.

He came to see his sister today.

When he came outside the middle class classroom, he looked inside.

I saw more than 20 children aged ten to fourteen and five years old, shaking their heads and reading with the teacher.

Among the children, there is a girl who is particularly eye-catching.

She is not tall, has not yet begun to develop, and is obviously not yet ten years old.

However, she has a slender figure, and when viewed from the side, her small face is unparalleled. Although most of the children in this classroom are beautiful, she stands out from the crowd.

Moreover, in the entire classroom, her clothes are the most expensive, and the attitude of others towards her shows that she has the highest status.

But she seldom pays attention to people, just sits quietly and reads carefully.

The gentleman looked up and saw Xia Qilie, showing a look of astonishment, Xia Qilie shook his hand at him, telling him not to be alarmed.

After the class was over, Xia Qilie shouted, "Little monkey!"

Panpan heard his brother's voice and ran over excitedly.

The way Wenwen read quietly before was like an illusion, but now she is alive and kicking, which is her true nature.

"Brother, did you bring me something delicious?" Panpan's willow eyebrows were raised, and his eyes narrowed into crescent buds.

Panpan, who is nine years old this year, although he has not yet bloomed, already has a bit of a stately appearance.

As Xia Yongchu's only biological daughter and regent Xia Qilie's only biological sister, even though she is only a concubine, the person who proposes marriage has already stepped through the threshold.

But neither her biological mother Liu Yuzhen nor the mistress Feng Jin had any intention of getting engaged to her.

Xia Qilie pampered her little head, "Do you want to eat chestnuts?"

Panpan said coquettishly, "Brother! I haven't done anything bad, why are you feeding me chestnuts!"

At this time, other students in the classroom also noticed Xia Qilie.

As the heir of the patriarch, he is now the person with the highest status in the Xia Mansion, and even one of the most powerful people in the entire Chu country. No one in the clan does not know him.

Most of the clansmen were reserved in front of him, not daring to speak loudly or laugh, and even that gentleman was a little trembling.

Xia Qilie knew that if he continued to stay, it would make everyone unhappy, so he only had a brief conversation with Panpan before preparing to say goodbye.

Before leaving, he turned around and slapped his forehead: "By the way, your second brother is coming back."

Panpan was surprised and delighted: "Really? I can't even remember what the second brother looks like. Has he finished his art studies?"

"It's been completed in stages. You will see him soon." The haze in Xia Qilie's eyes flashed away. It is said that what Xia Qixi has done in the Huaming School these years can be said to have made the entire Xia family a little embarrassed. , making both Xia Qiwen and Xia Qilan a little annoyed.

But this time, it's not that Xia Qixi has returned from his studies...but because he made a big mistake, head Qu is really disappointed in him, and because he has been promoted to the supernatural power level and is likely to become a golden core monk Xia Qiwen and Xia Qilan's feelings are not easy to lose, so they simply sent him back.

Xia Qilie also doesn't know why that cute and shy brother back then has become like this now, a disgusting dandy who is recognized by the Huaming sect as having a great talent for cultivation, but a very bad character that can't be helped by mud A person at the wall.

Seeing Panpan's happy appearance, Xia Qilie couldn't bear to break her fantasy.
