Chapter 204 Lee Hyo-gong's Wrist
Zhu Wuneng naturally rejected Yue Shan's proposal without hesitation.In his view, this proposal is 'I want the benefits, but I don't want to take any risks'.

If the small group he belongs to is facing annihilation, this is indeed a good choice, after all, this promise is equivalent to helping the Zhu family preserve a little blood.

It's just that the current situation is not so critical, which makes Yue Shan's proposal look insincere.

Seeing Zhu Wuneng leave Yueshan, he just shook his head. For the sake of happy cooperation in the past, I gave you a chance but couldn't grasp it. Don't blame me in the future.

Zhu Wuneng is indeed very smart and talented, but his identity as a businessman limits his vision, or in other words, his past experience blinded his eyes.He didn't realize that the situation this time was completely different from before.

This time the reshuffle is more thorough than that of the regime change.

When the Tang Dynasty was first established, Li Yuan didn't want great turmoil in Chang'an. In order to create a stable political environment, he just liquidated some deadly enemies, and temporarily let others just surrender on the surface.

Now that the Tang Dynasty has basically pacified the princes and unified the country, the regime has stabilized, and Li Shimin ascended to the throne by relying on the Xuanwu Gate Change.His purpose is to completely clean up all half-hearted forces.It includes not only the remnants of Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng, but also the survivors of the previous dynasty.

The big reward a few days ago was the signal to do it. Chang'an ordered Tian Xuechen, including Wannian Ling, various Yamen, and Wuhou, a large number of middle and low-level officials to be transferred away or sent to prison directly.

Although Yue Shan didn't know how deeply Zhu Wuneng's sect was involved, but Li Shentong, a representative figure of the clan, had made a move, and they had only one way to go - to cooperate obediently.

Now Li Shentong and others are still focusing on the upper echelons, so they can't take care of them for the time being.After cleaning up the upper-level people, cleaning up such a small character like him is just a matter of mowing grass and beating rabbits.

At this time, no matter how harsh conditions Li Shentong's forces put forward, they would hold their noses and agree.Under the general trend, they have no room for resistance.

Only by living can there be a future.

Obviously he didn't understand this, and he still wanted to struggle. It is estimated that he has been running around a lot these days trying to find a backer again.If he continues to be so ignorant of current affairs, the result can be imagined.

Yue Shan asked him to arrange a junior to go to the academy, in fact, it was to leave him with a blood relationship because of his previous affection.

It's a pity that he didn't understand this good intention at all, he just thought that Yue Shan didn't want to go through this muddy water and deliberately put forward such an insincere suggestion.

Since he rejected his kindness, Yue Shan naturally didn't have the idea of ​​chasing after him to make trouble for him.

For a long time afterwards, Yue Shan devoted himself to writing books while observing the situation in Chang'an City.It is appropriate to use one sentence to describe it, the surface is calm, but the waves are turbulent in the dark.

Many officials were mobilized, the power of the clan quietly occupied most of the key departments, and countless gangs active in black and white disappeared.

The well-informed rumors twitched their tails and behaved like a man, only the common people who knew nothing were still thanking the new emperor for the improvement of law and order.

On this day, Yue Shan was inspecting the academy, and Bao Dalin came to report that there was a visitor on the way.

Yue Shan took a look at the name post and saw that it was Li Xiaogong, King of Hejian County.

Now Yue Shan can't sit still anymore, why did Li Xiaogong send someone to look for me?Did something major happen in the court?
No wonder he was so nervous, he would dare to ignore Li Shentong even if it was another clan.But Li Xiaogong was the only one he couldn't ignore.

Li's supernatural ability is mediocre, and he got to where he is today only by holding his thighs and his clan status.In the eyes of the emperor, he is just a spare tire, and his status is really not high.

Li Xiaogong is different, Yue Shan always thinks that he is the No.1 in the clan.Brilliant and talented, Li Yuan and Li Shimin are the most trusted and valued ministers.

How high his status is in Li Shimin's mind, you only need to know that Li Shimin listed him as the second among the 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, second only to Changsun Wuji.

Not long ago, in the big award, he was promoted to be the king of Hejian County, with [-] households sealed, and he was appointed as the minister of the Ministry of Rites.He is also the only person in the clan who serves at the center.

The key is that this person is still very smart, really smart.When he reached the peak of being a minister, he was not greedy for power, but chose to retreat bravely.

When the emperor needed him, he stood up to do things, and when he didn't need him, he played and danced all day to entertain himself.Yue Shan also thought about getting acquainted with him before, but he was ignored at all.

But Yue Shan wasn't angry, he had the status of an immortal disciple, any clan that dared to get close to him would be digging a hole for themselves.Obviously Lee Hyo-gong is a sober person.

It is precisely because of this that Yue Shan has always maintained respect for him.

It's just that we don't have much contact with each other, so why did he suddenly send someone to look for me?
Holding this doubt, Yue Shan met Li Xiaogong's people.

This person claimed to be the steward of the Prince's Mansion of Hejian County. He looked in his early forties, spoke little and was very humble.He just said that the king of the county sent him to make up a congratulatory ceremony and then stepped aside.

Bu Heyi?Yue Shan was even more puzzled.Did you make it clear which time He Yi made up for?

The most recent major event today is the entry of the Great Dictionary Working Group, which took more than a month.Is it too nonsensical for you to make up for He Yi today?
However, when he saw the items on the gift list, he understood everything in his heart.

There is a book printing workshop and a papermaking workshop, and there are more than a hundred slave artisans including their families.

Zhu Wuneng was finished, and this idea came to Yue Shan's mind after seeing the gift list.

And then...it turned out that it was Li Xiaogong who made the move, not the supernatural powers he had always thought.

The King of Hejian really deserves to be the No. 1 clan, this method really makes people have nothing to say.Knowing that he and Zhu Wuneng had something to do with each other, and might save one or two people, he gave this gift in advance to stop himself.

And what I sent was the papermaking workshop and book printing workshop that I needed most.

This method is really in line with Li Xiaogong's character, and Li Shentong would definitely not fool him.

What should I do?Almost without thinking about Yue Shan, there is an answer.

If Li Shentong made the move, and Zhu Wuneng came to beg him, he would definitely save a trace of blood.But Li Xiaogong made the move himself, and he was so good at being a man—Yue Shan would never choose to confront Li Xiaogong because of Zhu Wuneng.

"Sigh." Yue Shan sighed, and said to the housekeeper, "Go back and tell the county king, I accept this gift."

"Here, I will truthfully tell the county king what Qing Shuihou said." The steward left immediately after receiving the reply without saying a word.

After a while Bao Dalin came back and said excitedly: "Da Lang, the King of Hejian County personally sent congratulations... This is really..."

Yue Shan frowned and said in displeasure: "What kind of tongue chewing, see how he did it just now, and learn from him."

"Ah? I...I..." Bao Dalin panicked when he saw Yue Shan so angry for the first time.He was even more afraid that Yue Shan would drive him away if he was unhappy.

"What does it look like? If you have nothing to do, talk to Pei Jin and see how he is a housekeeper. You don't have to go out to embarrass yourself." Yue Shan said.

"Yes, yes, I will go to him to learn from him right away, and I will not embarrass Da Lang." Knowing that Yue Shan didn't want to drive him away, Bao Dalin laughed through his tears.As for being scolded...that's completely indifferent.

"Also, I'm going into the city now, and the Yue Mansion is closing its doors to thank guests. No matter who comes to visit, they will say that I have entered the palace according to the order, and I don't know when I will come back. I don't know anything else, so don't say too much. Don't let any guest step on the door. Half a step into the mansion, even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu comes. Do you know?" Yue Shan said sharply.

"Here, please don't worry Dalang, I will never let anyone step into the gate of the mansion before you come back. It's just... if the guests of the Lord and the Empress..."

"No one is allowed in. Don't worry, I will tell Aye and Aniang not to let them invite people to serve."

After Yue Shan made another arrangement, he quickly packed up his things and entered the city.Originally, I wanted to go to the Marquis's Mansion to make arrangements, but thinking about Xiang Ning's character, I didn't make any unnecessary moves, and went directly to the palace through the Xuanwu Gate.

On the second day after he entered the palace, Zhu Wuneng brought a ten-year-old boy to Pingyue Mansion in embarrassment to ask for an audience.The answer is naturally no.

He also wanted to go in and rest in the name of being old friends and wait for Yue Shan to return. Unfortunately, Bao Dalin, who had experienced a family ruin once, had already noticed the abnormality and firmly disagreed.

Zhu Wuneng wandered around Sixingping for a long time and finally left in despair.

As for Yue Shan in the palace, life was not easy at all, he was washed several times by Li Shimin's saliva.
