Be a reckless man in the martial arts word game

Chapter 536 War begins

Five miles east of Boyang Hall is the newest building in the palace.

As for why it is the latest, it is because this building was built quickly after the Confucian sage chose to come to the palace to garrison.

King Qi hoped that the Confucian sage would help him guard against the elusive demon king, but he did not want the Confucian sage to be too involved in his state affairs and restrict his rights, so he built a "high pavilion" here.

These two words can be understood as "the place where saints and disciples live", or they can be understood as... shelved in a high cabinet.

Inside the high cabinet, the two of them were cooperating on a common case.

On the first day of the year, red couplets must be posted. This is a custom recognized by Confucianism, so even the palace, a magnificent place, is no exception... it must be posted here as well.

But many palace doorposts in the palace are too high, and people with poor writing skills cannot write such large red couplets.

So, someone came here to ask the Confucian sage for help, hoping that he could help write some. When the time comes, even if the red couplets are removed, they can be framed and handed down to the world.

"The Holy Lord's pen and ink are worth a thousand dollars, and they really make sense." A dignified man with a dignified elegance and a long hairpin stopped writing and praised.

He looked at the red couplets he had written, and then looked at the red couplets written by the saint next to him, and felt that this was the difference between Yinghuo and Haoyue.

His words are just words, while each of the other person's words can evolve into an "elephant".

The word "山" can make people see the majestic mountains, and the word "福" can bring people good luck. Every painting, every stroke, every scene, this is a wonderful writing.

"I have been practicing writing for more than twenty years. I practice calligraphy every day, but I still can't master the calligraphy of the saint."

No matter when, writing is something that needs to be taken seriously. The sage did not have the habit of writing while talking, so he stopped writing.

Looking at the red couplet on the case, he felt that the hook of the word "wealth" was a little short, so he opened the red couplet and blew on the still wet ink. The thick ink was blown a few millimeters away, and he closed the hook. The strap is a little longer, and it looks a little more agile.

Only then did he put down the red couplet with satisfaction.

"Sir, don't lie to yourself."

"I write very seriously, but you have other thoughts when writing. How can you write well?"

The man next to him seemed to be a scholar, but in fact he had already become a martial artist in his heart.

Come and write a red couplet?

This is not the real purpose of this person from the top of the mountain in Qi State.

Ever since he took over from his senior brother and came to Qi to guard the country, this senior cabinet minister has been visiting his door every two days.

When I'm not reciting poems and composing poems, I'm admiring flowers and serving wine.

"I'm not telling you, even if the King of Qi sends you to spy on me, you should have some snacks. You are not good at writing poetry, drinking, or writing. If you ask me, you might as well learn martial arts with me."

"You have a sage to guide you, who can guide me?" the great cabinet minister argued.

It’s not that he can’t do it, it’s mainly because people’s status is different.

On the Confucian side, there are saints above the top of the mountain, but on the mortal side, the top of the mountain is truly heaven.

When he drinks with his subordinates, no one dares to defeat him.

When he composed poems in front of his subordinates, no one dared not praise him.

He wrote in front of his subordinates, and everyone was eager to snatch the words and make them a family heirloom.

If the Confucian saints hadn't come to the palace to take turns to guard the palace, he wouldn't have known that he had lived like a frog in a well for so many years.

"In Taoism, these are called the poison of the mortal world, and they are not conducive to your understanding of your true self." Sage Lord Gabon gave a tempting suggestion, "Follow me to the mountains and seas, for the sake of accompanying me for so many days. "Sir, I will seek the position of a Saint King on your behalf, and my master will be your master at that time."

"Forget it, forget it." The great cabinet minister quickly refused.

He is here to monitor the Holy King of Gabon, not to be incited to rebel by the Holy King of Gabon.

At this time, a chamberlain came to report from outside the palace. "The king has called."

……

In Boyang Hall, the emperor and his ministers closed the door and talked.

"What, starting an army in ten days?"

The King of Qi had a desire to pioneer a long time ago, but the ministers never expected that this day would come so quickly.

"Keep your voice down, do you still want Holy Lord Gabon to hear you?"

"Your Majesty, think twice. Important matters for the country should be handled with extreme caution." The minister bowed to the end.

Having already guessed that he would come like this, King Qi did not choose to issue the imperial edict directly, but instead personally summoned him for a secret discussion.

He told the great minister everything that the queen had just discussed with him.

"Well, can you feel relieved now?"

The senior cabinet minister thought for a long time and finally said: "This trip is very dangerous."

If what the female monarch said is true, then there is great potential for conquering Wu.

But the question is, can the heroine be trusted?

"The fall of Wei and Yue has something to do with the female monarch. The King of Wei and Yue agreed to the female monarch's strategy of taking advantage of the road, which gave us the opportunity to annex their land."

"From our standpoint, the female monarch undoubtedly provided a wise strategy, but from Wei Yue's perspective, didn't the female monarch provide a strategy to subjugate the country?"

"It is said among the people that the female monarch is the timely rain, which forms a sharp contrast with the evil Demon Lord. I think otherwise. The female monarch and the Demon Lord are the same. It is more appropriate to call her a poisonous warrior."

"Serious words." King Qi did not agree with what the chief minister said, "The lady and her husband risked their lives to assassinate Wu Guodian Mountain for Da Qi. How can we miss her so much?"

"If you doubt her intentions, then I would like to ask the Grand Councilor... Do you dare to go to King Wu's palace to assassinate her?"

The great minister remained silent.

He knew that it was indeed a narrow escape from death. Apart from anything else, the Wu Zushi Temple at the top of the Wu Kingdom was standing there. It was difficult to see a chance of winning in a fight near the Wu Zushi Temple at the top of the mountain.

"Okay, don't think too much." King Qi finalized, "You pack up and prepare to lead the army."

"If you are really worried, you should first rub elbows with the Wu State at the border, issue a declaration of war, and then start a full-scale march after the news of the successful assassination of the female monarch comes."

"In the past, all the Peak Mountain Realms were trapped in the palace. You are the first to lead troops to open up the Peak Mountain Realm. I hope you can show your own style."

"I have only one request. When the time comes, we must attack the capital of King Wu within one day."

"I... take the edict." The senior minister put his sleeves together and saluted.

He is not as good as the Confucian sage in writing, but when it comes to the etiquette between king and minister, he must abide by it better than the other person.

The king is the king, and the minister is the minister.

……

Three days later, the King of Qi left Linzi with the heavy goods of the country, and the King's army went on a grand tour to the southwest. The Holy Lord Jiabang accompanied him in order to "protect the safety of the King."

After mobilizing the Confucian monitor, the chief minister took the tiger talisman and began to mobilize the army. Together with the local army, the seven soldiers of the royal capital, and the border army, a total of 500,000 troops were sent to attack the border country of Wu.

Sixteen formal letters of war were issued, each with the national seal stamped on it, which meant that... this war was likely to develop into a national war.

For a time, the whole country of Wu was trembling.
