Zhenwu Tianxia: Summon Yuwen Chengdu at the beginning

Chapter 103 Learning from Udengshi, taking up a post in politics

Outside Tianzhou City.

A long convoy drove slowly along the official road.

When the convoy arrived at the city gate, the yamen servants on duty stepped forward to search.

"What's in the car?"

The yamen servant asked while opening the sack on the car.

"Well salt!"

A burly man with a scar at the corner of his eye stepped forward and said to the yamen servant.

The yamen servant who was searching suddenly felt his eyes go dark, and he raised his head involuntarily. He looked at the face of the man with the scar, his body trembled, and he took two steps back.

"That, that, no problem, let's go in!" the yamen servant stammered.

The scarred man nodded slightly, then took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to the yamen servant.

"City entry tax!"

The yamen servant took the broken silver at a loss, and quickly asked the other yamen servants to open the city gate.

From the beginning to the end, the man with the scar didn't have any expression on his face until the convoy had all entered the city gate. After he winked at his companions, he left the convoy.

Passing through alleys, the man with the scar came to a residential house and knocked on the dilapidated wooden door.

It was a short and thin man who opened the door. Seeing the man with the scar, he hurriedly welcomed him in.

In the courtyard, there were four or five men in sackcloth.

"Meet the hall master!"

The man with the scar nodded and asked blankly, "How's the situation?"

"Returning to the hall master, Zhenwusi has taken down Wanfu Temple, and all the sects in Tianzhou have surrendered." The short and thin man replied.

"That is to say, the Zongmen forces in Tianzhou can no longer stop Zhen Wusi?" The man with the scar frowned slightly.

"That's right, Zhenwusi is now in Tianzhou." The short and thin man said.

A fierce look suddenly appeared in the eyes of the man with the scar.

"How to break the game?"

The short and thin man lowered his head and said, "The only way to break the situation is to kill the King of Xin'an County."

"However, King Xin'an is surrounded by many masters to protect him, and even has an innate warrior."

"Before, Xueyilou dispatched ten ninth-rank warriors to assassinate the king of Xin'an County, and the entire army was wiped out."

The scarred man pondered, "The leader has an order, and Zhenwusi must not be allowed to enter Shuzhou."

"If you want to prevent Zhen Wusi from entering Shuzhou, you can only get rid of Xin'an County King. Otherwise, we~~" the short and thin man said helplessly.

He didn't explain what he said later, but the meaning was very clear.

Shuzhou is located in the west of Tianzhou. Compared with Tianzhou, Shuzhou's martial arts power is much weaker.

The number of sects is only more than 30, which is less than one-third of Tianzhou, and there are only two top sect forces, one is Baiyingu and the other is Shengjiao.

And the man with the scar in front of him is Li Man, one of the four hall masters of the Holy Cult.

While the two were talking, Li Man suddenly raised his head and looked to the left.

"Those bedbugs are coming again!"

"You look for opportunities first, I will wait for your news at Kelaixuan."

After speaking, he left the house and walked along the narrow alley.

When he left, several men in the courtyard immediately hid in the house, and at the same time, a young man in a cloak quickly walked into the alley.

The young man looked at the direction Li Man left, with a look of doubt on his handsome face.

He looked around suspiciously, and after finding nothing unusual, he could only continue to follow Li Man.

……

Jinlan Academy is a rather special sect in Tianzhou.

In Jinlan Academy, the disciples are divided into two parts, one part focuses on practicing martial arts, and the other part focuses on studying Confucian classics.

But no matter what the focus is, the disciples of Jinlan Academy are both civil and martial arts, but they have different emphases.

In the Book Pavilion.

Dean Mo Tianyu was sitting in a rocking chair, rocking gently, and the creaking sound echoed in the book loft.

Kong Jie stood by and frowned after reading the letter in his hand.

"Teacher, Zhen Wusi, what does this mean?"

The letter was sent by the disciples of Tianshi Mansion Wen Su asked, and the content was Zhenwusi's policy on Tianzhou Zongmen.

Mo Tianyu's eyes were slightly closed, and there was a faint smile on his white-haired and childlike face.

"What do you think?"

"They want to control us?" Kong Jie said.

"Hey, the eyelids are still too shallow!"

Mo Tianyu stood up, the Confucian shirt hanging down his body, and his slender body was full of elegance.

"It's not us that Zhenwusi wants to control, but the martial arts of the entire Tianzhou."

"As for this!"

He pointed to the letter in Kong Jie's hand and said with a smile, "This is simply a great gift to us!"

Kong Jie was puzzled, "Is this a gift?"

"Of course!" Mo Tianyu said with certainty.

"Learn to be a senior official, take up a post and become a politician, save Gantang, go and benefit from chanting."

"With it, you will be able to govern for officials in the future."

Jinlan College is a double cultivation of civil and martial arts, and many disciples in the college are Confucian scholars, but whether it is in the Jianghu or in the eyes of the court, Jinlan College belongs to the sect.

Zongmen disciples cannot enter the court and become officials, this is an unspoken rule in Dali's officialdom.

Although there are no express regulations, in fact, the court has been weakening the sect's power in the officialdom in the past ten years.

At the beginning, Mo Tianyu was an official, and he went to a state to participate in politics, but because of the relationship with Jinlan Academy, he was dismissed from office due to a trivial incident.

For these years, although Mo Tianyu has been living a peaceful and peaceful life in Jinlan Academy, he still can't let go of it.

Kong Jie was startled, stared blankly at the letter in his hand, and said after a long time, "It's just that the student feels inappropriate!"

In contrast, Kong Jie has no expectations of being an official, because he has never been an official, and he has never thought of being an official.

"If you are a good official, you will learn, and if you are good at learning, you will be an official."

"Confucian students like me, if we can't take up positions in politics, we will lack a piece of merit after all."

"The teacher knows that you have no intention of being an official, but what about the other students?"

"Could it be that they can only be martial artists?"

Mo Tianyu said in a deep voice.

Kong Jie took a deep breath and said, "It's still the teacher who thinks comprehensively, it's the students who are too selfish."

Mo Tianyu smiled, "Besides, we have no other choice now."

……

As letters drifted into the hands of many sects, many sect forces began to study the policies formulated by Qin Wei.

At the beginning, they were very dissatisfied with Zhenwusi's request. After all, not all sects wanted to join Zhenwusi and become officials, just like Jinlan Academy.

They prefer to be free and independent, and they prefer not to accept the jurisdiction of the court as before, and to be the king of the mountain in the mountains.

However, facing the powerful Zhen Wusi, they did not dare to show hostility on the surface.

Therefore, many sects are ready to see the situation first.

however.

Following the disciples of the seven major sects including Tianshi Mansion, Luoxia Sect, and Lishan Sword Sect arrived at Tianzhou City.

Some sects began to waver.

The number of places is limited, if you don't join Zhenwu Division, the inheritance of the sect will be cut off in the future.

Faced with such a choice, they are very hesitant.

But there are also people with resolute minds, such as Mo Tianyu.

The disciples of Jinlan Academy were the first sect to arrive at Tianzhou City besides the seven major sects.

Moreover, Jinlan Academy brought nearly half of the disciples, more than 500 students.

Four hundred of them are scholars of the Academy of Arts, and only one hundred are warriors of the Academy of Arts.

The situation of Jinlan Academy immediately made many sects make up their minds.

They took their disciples to Tianzhou City one after another, and many sects gathered in Tianzhou City for a while.

Seeing this, those sects who were still hesitating became anxious.

Seats are limited, so if you get there late, there really won't be any left.

So more sects flocked to them.

Inside the Yamen of Zhenwusi.

Qin Wei sat on the pavilion, Wen Su and Mo Tianyu sat beside him.

Xiao Shunzi made tea.

"These guys are really masters who don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles!" Qin Wei laughed after listening to Wen Su's report.

Wen Su smiled and said, "They probably haven't seen the situation clearly yet."

Today, the Tianshi Mansion has completely joined the Zhenwu Division. Although the old Tianshi has some complaints about Qin Wei because of Master Deadwood, he still asks Wen Su to obey Qin Wei's words.

The corner of Qin Wei's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at Mo Tianyu.

This was the first time he met Mo Tianyu.

Whether it was Wolong Ridge or the battle of Black Cliff Mountain before, Jinlan Academy participated, but Mo Tianyu never showed up.

As for Mo Tianyu, Qin Wei also knew about it.

After all, Jinlan Academy is indeed very special, and Mo Tianyu is the most special existence in Tianzhou Martial Arts.

He has been an official, and he is a high-ranking state to participate in politics. More importantly, Mo Tianyu has done a good job as an official.

"Senior Mo! Why did you bring five hundred disciples?" Qin Wei asked with a smile.

Mo Tianyu stroked his beard and said, "I know that Your Highness needs a lot of civil servants."

A gleam flashed in Qin Wei's eyes.

Although Zhenwusi mainly uses force, it needs a large number of civil servants.

When he was in Kyoto, he asked for many scholars from the Imperial College, and now in Tianzhou, he also needs many scholars.

"Senior Mo, is he willing to be an official?"

Qin Wei suddenly asked.

Mo Tianyu was slightly stunned, "Your Highness?"

"This king can recommend Senior Mo to be an official in the court." Qin Wei said.

Mo Tianyu said: "If you want to join the Zhenwu Division, I am willing."

"Where's Jingdu Zhen Wusi?" Qin Wei asked.

"I am willing to obey His Highness's arrangement!" Mo Tianyu said very simply.

The reason why he joined Zhenwu Division was because Qin Wei could call the shots. If it were any other yamen, Mo Tianyu really didn't want to go.

Although he was so active in bringing in five hundred disciples this time to enter the court again as an official, but at present he only wants to be an official of Zhenwusi.

Because he couldn't be sure whether he would be excluded in other yamen, just like it was more than ten years ago.

Qin Wei nodded.

"Then let's go to Kyoto. This king will recommend you as the commander of the martial arts division in Kyoto."

At present, the official position of Wusi in Jingdu Township is full, but Qin Wei intends to let Li Ru step down.

Li Ru is his military adviser, no matter where he is, he will take Li Ru with him.

So there is no need for Li Ru to occupy an official position in Zhenwu Division.

It is most appropriate for Mo Tianyu to succeed Li Ru in his official position.

In addition to these reasons, he also has many considerations.

First of all, he needs to cultivate his own team. Mo Tianyu is a more suitable person who can be trained as his confidant in the future.

Secondly, for the sake of check and balance, most of the officials of the Wusi in Jingdu Town come from the army or the Imperial Academy and Yanwu Pavilion. They have close relationships with colleagues and classmates, and it is inevitable that there will be cliques.

Now Qin Wei asked Mo Tianyu to go to the capital because he wanted to check and balance the influence of Guozijian and Yanwu Pavilion in Zhenwu Division.

When Zhenwusi establishes yamen in other states in the future, he will also split up the Jingdu Zhenwusi officials in the name of promotion, so as to prevent Zhenwusi from clinging to the Unity Party.

……

With the arrival of disciples from many sects, Zhenwusi's barracks outside the city of Tianzhou was filled to the brim.

However, it will take a period of training to turn all these sect disciples into soldiers.

Although the disciples of the Zongmen are not weak in cultivation and strength, the battles that the soldiers of the Zhenwu Division face are group battles, and they pay attention to cooperation and discipline.

Especially in terms of discipline, Zongmen disciples are much worse, so it is still very necessary to carry out military training.

At first, the barracks seemed very chaotic, but as time went by, the training in the barracks gradually got on the right track.

In addition to the barracks, Zhenwusi Yamen also recruited a group of civil servants.

Some of these civil servants came from Jinlan Academy, and some came from prefectural schools in various prefectures of Tianzhou. There were as many as a thousand people.

With thousands of civil servants, the Wusi of Tianzhou Town would definitely not be able to use them. Even with the addition of eight thousand household divisions, it would not be possible to use so many civil servants.

The reason why Qin Wei recruited so many civil servants was to prepare for the establishment of Zhenwusi in other states.

Seeing that the Zhenwu Division's Yamen is on the right track, Qin Wei still has a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

"Wen Su is not familiar with Zhenwusi's affairs, so you should mention him more in the future!"

In the pavilion, Qin Wei stood in front of the window, overlooking the entire Zhenwusi yamen, and said.

"Your Highness wants to hand over the matter of documents to Mr. Wen?" Li Ru asked.

"That's right, although Wen Su is a Taoist, he has managed the Heavenly Master's Mansion for many years and has quite a lot of experience in handling miscellaneous affairs." Qin Wei explained.

Li Ru nodded slightly, "I understand."

"Xiao Shunzi, prepare the carriage tomorrow morning, the king is going to Moling Mountain." Qin Wei instructed Xiao Shunzi again.

"Your Highness, do you need to arrange guards?" Xiao Shunzi asked.

Qin Wei shook his head slightly, and said, "No need, let Senior Moyan and Huoyun Cthulhu follow."

Going to Moling Mountain is not going to fight a war, so there is no need to bring too many people.

Besides, even bringing a group of soldiers is useless. With Qi Yuanzong's strength, [-] soldiers are simply for display.

For the time being, Yuwen Chengdu needs to sit in the Wusi Yamen, Shi Luan is cultivating dead soldiers, Tie Shou is in charge of the overall affairs of the Wusi Yamen, Qi Lin is in the barracks outside the city.

Even Di Renjie was placed under Tie Shou by Qin Wei, serving as Tie Shou's assistant temporarily.

So Qin Wei can't take many people with him when he goes out.

There are only two idlers, Mo Yan and Huoyun Cthulhu.
