After the immortal disappeared

He Lingchuan pressed his neck and didn't take it seriously. He has profound cultivation, and as long as he exerts his true power, this little bit of coldness is nothing to him; on the contrary, You Rongzhi is not a warrior, so he will shiver just sitting here.

However, You Rongzhi seemed to be prepared. He took out the bottle from his pocket, poured out two pills, swallowed one himself first, and then took the other one and asked He Lingchuan: "This is a simmering pill. It will warm you up after taking it." It works. Do you want one?"

"No need, this bit of coldness is nothing to me." It seems that King Yao often arrests people to suffer the cold here, and You Rongzhi and other ministers have gained experience.

Instead, He Lingchuan grabbed a futon from the storage ring and stuffed it into You Rongzhi:

"sit!"

Even after swallowing the Simmering Fire Pill, the stone bars here are still freezing. You Rongzhi didn't refuse, took it and sat on it.

It's soft and warm. Not to mention that it's not cold underneath, the cold air from Yuquan Palace seems to have retreated away.

You Rongzhi knew it was a good thing and immediately thanked He Lingchuan.

This thing was picked up by He Lingchuan from the Ghost King's Underground Palace. It can protect the person sitting from the cold and heat. It is a very useful prop.

However, since King Yao sent the two of them to Yuquan Palace to suffer the cold, He Lingchuan became more determined:

If King Yao was determined to hand him over, there would be no need to punish them in this way for venting their anger.

You Rongzhi couldn't help but say: "You, alas, shouldn't be tit-for-tat with the priests."

He Lingchuan smiled angrily: "It's so irritating, I can't hold it back. After calming down in this Yuquan Palace, I feel that I am too impulsive, and I don't want to harm Master You."

Without tit-for-tat, how can you drag King Yao into the water?

Without tit-for-tat, how can the majesty of the temple be rubbed against the ground?

Few people think deeply about what the gods ask of human beings and Miaozhantian asks of the Yao Kingdom.

But He Lingchuan knew that these so-called "gods" did not need humans to provide them with gold, silver, wealth, food, clothing, and transportation. What they want is human obedience and their own face.

If human beings, or in other words, if Yao country cannot even meet this minimum requirement...

He Lingchuan also knew very well that the reason why he was not taken away by the divine attendants on the spot was because he fell out of the "usual" category.

The eastward expansion of the new city is in full swing. So many difficulties have been overcome in the early stage, and the money is coming back one after another. The harvest is approaching. King Yao must not let anything happen to He Xiao, the soul of the city.

If he was taken away by the temple, it was hard to say how long he would be detained and whether he would be able to come back alive.

Who can take over the eastward expansion project of the new city? Who dares to take over?

Over the past few months, everyone inside and outside the project and at the Yaoting level have reached a consensus that as long as He Xiao is here, the eastward expansion of the capital city can indeed be carried out quickly, steadily, solidly and effectively.

King Yao also asked You Rongzhi privately if he could find someone to take He Xiao's place. You Rong is pragmatic and not as euphemistic as before:

cannot!

Even if the country of Yao is full of talents, and even if there are other talents with He Xiao's courage and ability, they may not have He Xiao's skills to keep hundreds of officials honest and hundreds of teams to coordinate efficiently.

Talented people often have no skills.

People with skills often lack courage.

Although courageous people dare to take responsibility, they may not be able to make correct decisions.

The combination of the above qualities makes it irreplaceable.

After leaving He Lingchuan, the eastward expansion project of the capital city suddenly fell apart. It would be difficult to imagine being as pragmatic and efficient as before.

The planning was done, the team worked, the tickets were redeemed, the materials were ordered, and the homestead was put on sale. Everyone was rushed to put it on the market. Having reached this point, the construction of the new city must only succeed and not fail. There is no turning back!

Therefore, even if what He Lingchuan did offended the temple, King Yao had to protect him.

At this special time point, touching He Xiao would be equivalent to cutting off the source of the national treasury, and it would be equivalent to cutting off the economic lifeline of Yao Country.

Not to mention that King Yao doesn't allow it, but the officials of Yao Ting also don't allow it.

What's more, He Xiao's approach did not directly touch the real laws and regulations. From a "principle" point of view, it was still tenable, which gave King Yao some room to maneuver.

Although King Yao also knows that gods do not need to be unreasonable.

Through the dispute between King Yao and Qingyang, He Lingchuan has clearly seen that it is King Yao who really holds the real power of the country. This old man has all kinds of problems, but he still has a very clear understanding of power and knows how to hold it firmly in the palm of his hand.

Therefore, whether it is Qingyang or the temple, if you want to attack He Lingchuan head-on, you must first go through King Yao.

As long as King Yao disagrees, He Lingchuan will be safe for the time being.

temporary.

…

You Rongzhi and He Lingchuan left the imperial study.

In the study, only Master Liang, Master Xiao, the old palace servants Yao Wang and Qiu Long were left.

Behind closed doors, King Yao could open the skylight and speak frankly:

"Mr. Liang, what He Xiao did was true. I will not excuse him, but the eastward expansion of the capital is in full swing. If he is suddenly detained at this time, it is inevitable that people will be confused. I am afraid that the eastward expansion project will be a bit awkward."

Master Liang's expression was indifferent, while Master Xiao's lips showed a sneer.

It is not difficult to expand the capital eastward, but what does it have to do with the temple?

Before the expansion of the east city, Yao State had delayed building a temple for the goddess for more than two years. Wouldn't it be embarrassing then?

But before he could say what was in his heart, King Yao had already continued: "The top priority right now is to rebuild the Xilin Temple in the new city and spread the grace of the goddess. If He Xiao is replaced and the project is delayed, then even the delivery of the new temple will be delayed. Affected; why not let him finish building the new temple first, and wait until Master Xiao and the temple people are fully settled before dealing with him. "

"Oh?" Commander Liang looked at him, "At that time, will the king be willing to surrender?"

King Yao said seriously: "Those who offend the divine power should be punished."

God doesn't listen to sophistry, and he doesn't have to reason with the messenger of God. He just needs to know the pros and cons:

If this person is arrested, the new temple may not be repaired.

At that time, there will be no place for the whole team of Xilin Temple to be accommodated, and the temple's interests will be damaged.

King Yao continued: "Also, I have been thinking about it these days. Liang Xiaohao did a good job in office. Although he lacked experience, he did not collude or collude with the convicted officials in the Construction Office. He also sincerely repented. As a young man, since he knows his mistakes and can correct them, he should still be given a chance—"

King Yao paused for a moment, watching Ambassador Liang listen attentively, and then continued: "I have talked with him several times, and he also has a lot of suggestions for the construction of the new city. In this way, Liang Xiaohaoguan entered the eastward expansion project of the capital to inspect the March, mainly Assist in the construction of Xilin Temple."

Liang Xiaohao was originally the chief officer of the Construction Office, but he was dismissed for obstructing the construction of Youhu Garden. Five officials of the Construction Office were dismissed and thoroughly investigated, and the most serious crime is awaiting execution.
