Chapter 135 Beiming Divine Art
Faced with the "sky-high" remuneration offered by King Fu, it would be a lie to say that he is not tempted.

It's just... I still have to excuse one or two things.

Shen Du pretended to be flattered and said: "My lord, this is too precious."

"I didn't save the prince for the reward, the prince should take it back."

"Not being rewarded for nothing, this great gift is really unbearable for Gu."

Zhao Yuanzuo smiled all over his face, without any disappointment in his eyes, because all this was within his expectation.

If Shen Du agreed so easily, then he would look down on him instead.

He is willing to afford this little thing.

It's not like he didn't mean to use this matter to test.

If Shen Du was just a greedy person for money, he would still recruit him, but he would still look down on him in his heart.

Zhao Yuanzuo smiled and said, "Young Master Gu, accept it."

"Do you think that this king's life is not worth so much?"

"What's more, since the king has given it out, there is no reason to take it back."

Zhao Yuanzuo laughed loudly and said: "No one in this world knows, this king likes the heroes of the world the most, and I don't know how many gifts this king has given out over the years."

"Other people are like this, let alone you are the king's savior."

"If Mr. Gu doesn't accept it, then it's not giving me face!"

"Why, don't you intend not to give this king this face?"

Zhao Yuanzuo pretended to be angry.

Shen Du cupped his hands and said: "Gu has absolutely no such intentions, it's just that these two things are too precious, and Gu really deserves it."

"Since that's the case, thank you, my lord."

Now that Fu Wang is going to act, he doesn't mind being modest again.

"Haha!" Zhao Yuanzuo laughed loudly, he seemed to be in a good mood, and he stretched out his hand to signal, "Come, try these meals, whether it suits your appetite or not."

Shen Du nodded, and he was not polite.

He could tell that the food on this table was not simple, at least it cost 1000 taels of silver.

Zhao Yuanzuo has been chatting with Shen Du all the time, and never mentioned a word of solicitation from the beginning to the end.

After drinking for three rounds, Shen Du wiped his mouth in satisfaction.

His daily life is not bad, after all, he is also the chief arrester of a state, but compared with Fu Wang, it is really much worse.

In terms of enjoyment, there are probably few people in the whole world who can compare to this King of Fortune.

Zhao Yuanzuo took a sip of the wine glass, looked up at Shen Du, and suddenly asked, "I wonder how Mr. Gu thinks about the world today?"

Shen Du frowned, shook his head and said, "Chaos!"

"Oh?" Zhao Yuanzuo said with great interest, "What do you mean by that?"

Shen Du said in a deep voice: "All countries seem to be in a state of peace, but this is only a superficial state."

"For example, in Yan State in the north, there are many aristocratic families, and the land occupation is serious. Those aristocratic families even raise private soldiers, and the people are in poverty. The aristocratic families are the root of Yan's disaster."

"As for the state of Chu, the nobles of the state of Chu are high above, with distinct classes, and the people at the bottom will never see a way out. As time goes by, the people at the bottom will complain."

"It doesn't matter if Qi State doesn't say anything, their own internal strife has not been resolved."

"As for Qianguo..."

Shen Du paused, but did not continue.

There was no smile on Zhao Yuanzuo's face, but rather serious.

What Shen Du said hit the nail on the head!

A few simple words, but it reveals the fundamental problems of all countries.

He valued this son more and more now.

Ordinary Jianghu people don't have this kind of insight, or they don't know it at all.

"The rights of literati in the dry country are too heavy."

Zhao Yuanzuo put down his wine glass, and calmly said: "There are three redundancy in Qianguo, redundant soldiers, redundant officials, redundant expenses, civil servants overwhelm military officials, and military generals have no right to speak."

"If Yan and Chu come to attack, Qian will be defeated!"

He knew very well what the armament of the Qian country looked like, it was rotten to the bone.

It is not uncommon for the entire army to be empty-paid, and the soldiers in the army are not even as good as those in the quack.

Although Yan and Chu have their own disadvantages, their armies have not been abolished.

Shen Du looked at Zhao Yuanzuo in surprise, but he did not expect that the King of Fortune would say such a thing.

Zhao Yuanzuo laughed at himself and said calmly, "It's not that no one has noticed this problem."

"But even if they see it, so what, for their benefit, they would rather pretend to be stupid."

If the country wants to reform its shortcomings, it must mobilize the interests of the civil servants.

Officials are responsible for the reform. Is it possible for them to reform themselves?
This is true of Qian State, this is true of Chu State, and the same is true of Yan State!
Even the emperor of Yan Kingdom, who is number one in the heaven list, can't help it.

He sees very clearly that whoever can solve their own problems first may have the possibility of unifying the world.

Zhao Yuanzuo took a deep look at Shen Du, stood up and said, "Young Master Gu is very talented. I want to make friends with Young Master Gu. I wonder if Young Master Gu is willing?"

Shen Du narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a little puzzled in his heart.

This is a bit different from what he thought.

Originally thought that Zhao Yuanzuo would offer a solicitation, but just to make friends?
Shen Du didn't think too much, he got up quickly and said: "Your Highness loves you so much, how can you refuse."

"Being able to become friends with the lord, it's Gu who has made a name for himself."

Anyway, it's just a verbal friend.

"Haha!" Zhao Yuanzuo laughed and said, "I am a gentleman's friend, regardless of status."

"This king never feels that his status is superior to others."

After the two chatted for a while, Shen Du offered to leave.

Watching Shen Du leave, Zhao Yuanzuo picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it down in one gulp.

"Pity!"

Guo Ming hesitated for a moment, then asked puzzled, "My lord, aren't you planning to recruit this person?"

"Why..."

He didn't understand, after spending such a big price, was it really just a thank you?
There were not many snow lotuses in the entire palace that day, so it can be said to be a rare and rare treasure.

Even the major kendo sects of the True Martial Sword Sect may not have them.

"You do not understand!"

Zhao Yuanzuo shook his head and said, "Just now, this king just wanted to understand something."

"From the moment he mentioned the disadvantages of various countries, this king realized that this person is by no means an ordinary person."

"If this king opens his mouth to solicit, there is a high probability that he will refuse. In this way, the relationship between the two parties will be spoiled."

Guo Ming frowned and said, "Your Majesty, please be honest, no matter how talented this person is, he is only a man of five spirits. If there is no one to help him, no matter how talented he is, how far can he go?"

"What's more, you are a prince, how could he refuse!"

Zhao Yuanzuo sighed lightly, shook his head and said with a smile, "Because this king has seen it."

"He is the same person as me!"

"This man has ambitions!"

"He is not a person who is willing to be inferior to others, not to mention that this king is just an idle prince now, and he can't give him much."

Over the years, he has recruited many people, including young heroes, military leaders, and even famous scholars, but whenever he talks about this matter, those people either avoid the important things and ignore them, or talk in exaggeration.

Few people can point out the problem directly, and speak out.

"We have a good relationship with him today, and when the king rises in the future, we can recruit him again!"

"What's more, aren't the king and him friends?"

Zhao Yuanzuo smiled softly, didn't talk any more, and asked, "Have the people from the Devil's Cult come?"

Guo Ming said respectfully: "I have arranged them in the back house."

"Let's go!"

"To meet our future allies."

……

Outside Shuiyue Villa, Shen Du rode his horse and stood up, looked back, and then rode away.

Although he didn't quite understand why King Fu didn't recruit in the end, but to him, this was a temporary uprising, and he didn't have any losses.

Just as King Fu made friends with him, he probably didn't want to make friends with King Fu.

People have to leave a way out for themselves!
……

Yan State, outside the capital,

A line of heavily armed dragoon guards moved forward slowly.

The black dragon flag fluttered in the strong wind.

The horse's hooves stomped on the ground, making a dull rumbling sound.

The surrounding people avoided one after another, looking longingly at the departing dragonrider imperial army.

Although the power and influence of the dragonriding imperial army is not as good as before, they are still the royal guards, and in the hearts of the people of the country of Yan, they have extremely important meanings.

The number of people in this row of dragonriding imperial troops is not large, only about a hundred people.

Apart from being the royal guards, the dragonrider imperial guards are also imperial guards.

Ordinary officials, unless granted by the emperor, under normal circumstances, only imperial envoys who are on tour are eligible to be equipped.

Behind the Dragonrider Guards, followed by two luxury carriages.

Around the carriage, there are several swordsmen dressed as Jianghu people, riding horses to guard around the carriage.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing an old face in his 50s.

Gao Shixing looked at the billowing smoke and dust, and sighed secretly.

The capital city is thousands of miles away from that Taizhou. If he rushed all the way, he might lose half of his life before he reached the place.

Although the case of the governor of Taizhou has been submitted to the capital, but after all, it is a governor of a state with different identities, and the imperial court has to send people to investigate.

The case of the Taizhou governor's death was jointly in charge of the Yushitai and the Ministry of Officials.

It's just that this matter has to be reported to the cabinet for approval, so it was delayed for some time.

Gao Shixing shook his head, and said to himself: "It's not good to offend anyone, but the third prince must be offended."

He had also heard about the matter here.

Offending the third prince, even if it is a person with six doors, so what will happen in the end.

Now is no longer the time for Six Doors to run rampant.

The blame can only be blamed on him for being too cheap and offending people who shouldn't be offended.

But when he thought of what the nobleman had promised him, he suddenly felt full of energy again.

As long as he can complete what he explained, he, the sixth-rank censor, can also rise up.

……

Jingzhong, six doors,

Cui Jingsheng looked at the secret report in front of him with a gloomy expression.

"Oh!"

Pressing the secret report on the table with one palm, Cui Jingsheng planned to get up and look for the governor.

"Second brother, don't go!"

"The governor is now guarding the customs for His Majesty, and will not leave the customs in a short time."

Suddenly, a cold voice came from outside the courtyard, and Cui Jingsheng looked up.

The person who came was Zhan Hongling.

Zhan Hongling shook her head and said, "Second brother, the censor who made the tour has already left, it's too late for you to go now, and Yuan Su has already left."

Cui Jingsheng's face was gloomy.

He deliberately arranged Shen Du in Taizhou, in order to avoid people in Beijing.

It's just that I didn't think about it, and I still didn't escape this disaster.

Who knew that the Third Prince would be able to keep an eye on him.

It's also because Shen Du did it too conspicuously. It's a good thing to make meritorious deeds, but his deeds are too fast, which is eye-catching.

The interior of the current six doors is not monolithic. In order to curb the six doors, the imperial court has placed a lot of people in the six doors over the years.

Among the six gates in Beijing, in addition to the chief arresters, there is also the post of inspector, who is under the jurisdiction of the inspection department and is responsible for checking the six gates of each state capital.

Yuan Su was originally an inspector, but this time he suddenly took over as the chief arrester of Taizhou, and there was a censor in Beijing who went to investigate the case of the governor of Taizhou, obviously for Shen Du.

A trace of killing intent flashed in Cui Jingsheng's eyes, and he said coldly: "If it wasn't for the governor to guard the gate for His Majesty, why would they be so unscrupulous!"

A group of corpses who are vegetarians!
He wished he could slap them all to death.

He didn't expect that Shen Dugang made some achievements, and someone would miss him so soon.

It was also Shen Du who offended those nobles in Beijing too hard that time, and I am afraid that these people will be behind the scenes this time.

Cui Jingsheng said in a deep voice, "Hong Ling, you are leaving Beijing today!"

"Shen Du's strength is too low now, I'm afraid that Yuan Su is playing tricks."

Zhan Hongling nodded, and said comfortingly, "Don't worry!"

"I won't let anything happen to him."

After speaking, he got up and left in a hurry.

……

Nan'an Prefecture,
After several days of running around, Shen Dufang came here.

His purpose this time is very clear, it is for the "North Ming Divine Art".

As the saying goes, a solitary yin does not grow, and a solitary yang does not grow. Although the "Purple Blood Dafa" is not bad, it is a magic technique after all, and it also has its own drawbacks.

The Beiming Divine Art has both yin and yang, and is compatible with martial arts in the world. It is invulnerable to all poisons, fierce and domineering.

If one can integrate the three divine arts, one's strength will increase greatly, and one's true energy will be far superior to that of ordinary people.

And this magical skill is hidden in the Zhulu Academy in Nan'an Prefecture.

Although this Zhulu Academy is an academy, it also teaches martial arts.

Among the disciples in this academy, apart from the children of some dignitaries, there are also many children of ordinary people.

Speaking of it, this Zhulu Academy can be regarded as an attempt by Emperor Taizong of Qianguo.

Emperor Taizong of the Qian Kingdom wanted to break the monopoly of the wealthy sects and give the people at the bottom a way out, so he specially promulgated the policy of building academies.

But obviously, those people absolutely don't want to see the common people at the bottom stand out and go beyond their control.

So in the end, the only thing left is this Zhulu Academy.

In recent years, this academy has also shown a trend of decline.

Wearing a green shirt, Shen Du led the horse through the streets of Fucheng.

This Nan'an mansion seems to be a little worse than Yizhou mansion.

After all, Yizhou Prefecture is an important water and land route, and the water transportation is developed, which naturally drives the economy of the prefecture, and there may be reasons why King Fu secretly promoted it.

Even so, this Nan'an Mansion is quite prosperous.

Shen Du found an inn in the city and settled down, then inquired about the situation of Zhulu Academy, left the inn again, and began to scout around the city.

……

It was evening and the sun was setting.

Shen Du sat at the table studying the map of Nan'an Prefecture, which he spent half a day drawing.

Although Zhulu Academy has declined, it has once been glorious after all. If you sneak into it by yourself, if someone finds out, you have to think of a way out.

Shen Du put away the map, a glimmer of expectation flashed in his eyes.

"Now it's dark!"
