The Master of Form and Meaning of Huashan Qizong

But no matter whether it was Fu Xiruo or Hu Yitong, any of the three high-ranking officials of the court, they would never have imagined that at this moment, all the subordinates of the third department were arrested.Tomorrow, after the sun rises, Shaanxi will announce the political envoy Si Yamen and the procuratorial envoy Si Yamen. No one knows what will happen except Fang Buli. Perhaps the emperor Xuande, who lives in the ninth level, knows it well, but the whole of Shaanxi, Apart from Fang Buli, no one else knew.

But what even Fang Buli didn't know was that a black shadow crossed the tall city wall and got into the courtyard of a small town outside Xi'an Prefecture, and he didn't know what he was doing inside.All I know is that not long after he entered the yard, the man who kept pretending to be a man pulled out a horse from the stable in the yard, and galloped towards Huayin County.

Early the next morning, a knight came to the mountain gate of the Huashan faction. As soon as the knight arrived in front of the mountain gate of the Huashan faction, he fell to the ground.The two Huashan disciples who were guarding in front of the mountain gate caught a glimpse of the mark on the horse, and hurriedly helped it aside, but the knight withdrew the two of them, took out a wooden token from his pocket, and handed it to them, "Report quickly!" Master, there are changes in Xi'an."

***

In the early morning, it was supposed to be the time to urge the disciples to practice martial arts, but now all the disciples of different generations of Liu Zai on Huashan gathered in the Jianqi Chongxiao Hall or now called Huairen Hall.The reason was the drastic changes that took place in Xi'an Fucheng last night.

"This side is inseparable from the long-term ability. In one night, there was a big change in the two yamen, the Minister of Political Affairs and the Department of Procuratorate. The next step is probably the prefectures and counties. We will have a hard time in the future. It's gone." Hu Bubei is really sorry for his name, his face is full of sorrow, his face is crowded together, and there are creases.

"Does Fang Buli have so many people? Don't forget, how old is he? How many times have he presided over the scientific examination? The scientific examination results in Shaanxi are not good, and there are not many scholars who can help him. As far as the manpower he brought with him, whether he can fill up the three offices this time is a question. Is there any extra manpower to replace the chief officials of the prefectures and counties in Shaanxi?" Hu Bugui's face was full of disdain, and he also I don't know if it's Hu Bubei or Fang Buli, "As for the waste in the yamen, the officials are ours, what else can the officials do?"

"With Fang's inseparable scheming, his tricks will not be limited to such a small amount. It can't be said that his second move is more terrifying than we imagined." Cui Bupo has experienced more than two years of experience, and he has matured a lot compared to before. I don't like to talk nonsense like I used to. "Brothers, according to the news from Fenglingdu and Tongguan recently, many merchants from other places have entered Shaanxi, and their ruts are extremely deep. The strange thing is that they don't sell goods along the way, and they rush directly to Xi'an. The key point The key is that the demeanor on his body doesn't look like an ordinary businessman, but rather..."

"What does it look like? Don't be fooled." Han Yue'er had a bad temper at first, but since Zhou Buyi got married.His temper became more and more weird.In front of so many brothers and sisters, he scolded Cui Bupo unceremoniously, and did not save any face for Cui Bupo.

Cui Bupo glanced at Hu Bubei, who nodded with a wry smile.Cui Bupo let out a long sigh in his heart.As if she didn't hear what Han Yue'er said, she continued, "This group of people feels a bit noble. They seem to be nobles from the imperial court, but they don't have a military atmosphere all over them, so they should be from Nanjing."

"Nanjing? When did Fang Buli get mixed up with the gang of trash in Nanjing?" Cui Bupo said.Hu Bugui laughed straight, "If that's the case, then it would be easy to handle. The Nanjing group of nobles not only didn't deal with the imperial examination officials, but also didn't deal with the Jingnan nobles. As the top figures among the Jingnan nobles— ——Xue Lu's son-in-law, who has trouble getting along with the founding nobles of Nanjing. I think Fang Buli's good days are coming to an end."

"Not necessarily." Zhou Buyi, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, with indescribable fatigue on his face.That's right, no matter who it is, if they are on the road for a few days, it will be like this, "The nobles in Nanjing don't control the real power like Jingnan nobles, but they have deep roots and I don't know how much savings they have. Don't forget Whose hands did those treasures in Yunnan fall into? How much gold and silver is there in that place alone? Aren’t these nobles swallowed most of the rare treasures we ship to the inland every year.”

"Ke Fang Buli is Xue Liuzi's son-in-law! If Beijing finds out that he flirts with Nanjing, can the group of Jingnan nobles who follow Emperor Taizong fight the world just ask? Don't you think he betrayed them? When the time comes Go down calmly?" Hu Bugui asked.

"So what if you can't calm down? Fang Buli's foundation is in the palace, not in the outer court. As long as the person sitting in the Fengtian Temple still believes in him, as long as he still wears the Jinshi and Die hat on his head for a day, Fang Buli will be happy." It will be fine." Zhou Buyi massaged his temples, and said so easily, but after all, Fang Buli is a powerful official in the frontiers of the holy family, holding a lot of power, and Xue Jian, who is in charge of envoys and commanders. support.Although the Huashan faction is a local snake, it is also very difficult to deal with. The only way is to work hard on tax collection and local stability. "Our only thing is that most of the local tyrants and gentry in Shaanxi are on our side. Perhaps this can be reversed." Put some effort into it."

"It's really impossible to go to Commander Shu. He should be able to think of a way. He is the commander of the Shaanxi Capital Division. It is easy to suppress Xue Jian, the commander of the Xingdu Division. If Xue Jian is given to Guan Stop, and break Fang Buli's hand. If it doesn't work, then..." Hu Bugui's face flashed with cruelty, but everyone present felt a chill in their hearts. In the past, Yangwuhou Mansion and Huashan When Pai was the best friend, it was Hu Bugui and Xue Jian who had the best friendship, but now...

"You can't kill people. This time we are not facing friends in the world, but officials of the imperial court. If people find out that our hands and feet are a little dirty, it will be the end of our Huashan faction." Zhou Buyi was taken aback, Unexpectedly, Hu Bugui would come up with such a bad idea, so he hurriedly stopped, "Let's take a look first."

The senior brothers in charge have said so, what else can Hu Bubei and the others say?After agreeing to the promise, they each dispersed.

Xi'an, feudal government office

"Nephew Buli, this time we have transferred 100 million coins and 10 taels of silver to Shaanxi. Don't let Uncle Tang lose all his money. This is the pension money for many people." A man with trimmed beard and hair The neat, handsome middle-aged man put down the teacup in his hand and said with a smile.This middle-aged man dressed up as an ordinary businessman is actually Tang Binglin, the youngest son of Tang Ding, Lord of the Kingdom of Xin.

"Uncle Tang doesn't know who my nephew is? How can I tell Uncle Tang about things I'm not sure about? This time, Uncle Tang can rest assured. The 100 million banknotes and 10 taels of silver will surely make a fortune every day." " Fang Buli asked someone to bring a map of Shaanxi and spread it on the ground, marked with strange patterns one by one.Even though some patterns are the same shape, they are divided into red and white.

Tang Binglin was a little dazed looking at the map.Xin Guogong's family has a long history, the old Xin Guogong fought in the north and south for decades, and a group of old brothers knew the situation of more than a dozen chief ministers in the world.The locations of these strange patterns are all minerals from various places in Shaanxi, and some of them were not even known to him, but Fang Buli marked them out one by one.

"This is...the important weapon of the country." After being shocked, Tang Binglin suddenly found that the map was completely different from the ancient map. It was divided by one horizontal and one vertical line, and the mountains were not drawn, but closed by one by one. line drawing.This is simply a military weapon, and it is really wronged to use it to mark the location of minerals. "But what do the winks on these marks mean? One red and one white, could it be reserves?"

"The red one has already been occupied by people, and the white one has not been discovered yet." Fang Buli moved his fingers slowly on the map, drew a circle, and then punched hard, "This is the map that my nephew is going to let Shibo know." The area invested by Uncle Shi is an important traffic road, and everything passes by from north to south, from east to west, if we build an economic development zone here and open workshops, we will surely make a lot of money every day.”

"Here?" Tang Binglin poked his head and looked around, and when he saw what it was, he felt a little reluctant, "Tongguan is the main road to and from Shaanxi. The city is high and the moats are deep. I'm afraid the imperial court will not allow us Set up a... what is it called?"

"economic development Zone."

"Yes, the Economic Development Zone. Besides, there are too many tyrants in Tongguan, and all aspects are too complicated. The most important thing is that it is too close to the Huashan faction. When I came here, I heard that you have fallen out with Zhou Buyi, right? "Tang Binglin looked at Fang Buli quietly, and made up his mind that if Fang Buli didn't give himself a satisfactory answer, he turned around and went back to Nanjing.

"What is falling out? I haven't met my old senior brother in Huashan when I arrived in Shaanxi, so I have no chance of falling out." How could Fang Buli admit it?He knew exactly what Tang Binglin was up to.Besides, what he said was the truth.He did not go to Huashan, nor did he meet Zhou Buyi, but he just dealt with a few mediocre and corrupt officials according to the order.

Tang Binglin stared at his nephew, as if he wanted to see whether Fang Buli was telling the truth or a lie.But even if what Fang Buli said was a lie, Tang Binglin was reluctant to leave immediately because the map was covered with mineral signs.However, when the time comes, it will be a matter of choosing to cooperate with Fang Buli, the powerful nephew, or with Zhou Buyi, the dominating gangster.
