Dao Fruit

The history of conflict in the Central Plains and grasslands runs through the entire history. There were not only soldiers fighting on both sides, but also fights between monks.

However, when fighting against the barbarians, even if Da Rui has a master to take action, it will always be a containment of the fourth realm monks, and it is impossible to force them too much. But this time, Qiu Yan did not lead his troops or assemble, so King Zuo Xian To provoke him, he walked around the grassland and while chasing King Hu, he also sealed or injured Rouluo Guoshi and others. The result was truly terrifying.

You must know that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not know the course of the war. They did not know that Qiu Yan had the power to borrow books and use them to achieve success. What they received was only a result, and this result was shocking enough!

In fact, the news not only spread to the court, but also affected every Taoist family. They all knew about the Three Saints of Rouluo and were frightened by what Qiu Yan had done. But on the other hand, there was another news. It was also introduced into Taoism along with the fall of the Three Saints.

"Are there any Taoist disciples who have left seclusion recently?"

There was silence in the imperial study room for a while, and then Li Kun asked again.

The white-faced old man replied: "There are also changes in Yingquan Road, Tianling Road, and Cijing Road. They set off from the south and it seems that they are heading outside the Great Wall."

Li Kun snorted coldly: "What Qiu Yan wrote are humane classics and military strategists' methods, which are intended to be used in the dynasty's army. However, these Taoist people say that there are some unique secrets in them. If you peek into them, you can live forever. It's really funny. If With such ability, how could Qiu Yan fail to cultivate it himself?”

After Qiu Yan completed the classics, within a few days, there were rumors among Taoist sects that Qiu Yan's books contained the universe and could help people practice. Somehow, it caused a stir, and many monks were tempted to leave seclusion and go to the grassland. Search for traces of Qiu Yan.

After saying this, Li Kun asked again: "By the way, have you contacted Qiu Yan? He writes humane classics. I want to see him both publicly and privately, to see the original version of that classic and what the secrets are." "

The white-faced old man's mind changed, and he roughly understood the emperor's thoughts, but he did not reveal it. He just said: "The number one scholar has not been found yet, but there are some traces. There are several Central Plains people who escaped from the grassland tribes and said they have seen similar things. He released them and gave them instructions to run away. However, according to their words, it seemed that Duke Zhuangyuan was accompanied by a servant. "

"That's good," Li Kun nodded, his expression became more serious and he lowered his voice. "My dear friend, I won't hide it from you. What happened to Qiu Yan this time was really beyond my expectation. He hunted down King Zuo Xian and defeated the Three Saints of Rouluo. This kind of ability is something that no one in the whole court can match. And, it seems that he will be valued by military strategists again, and he may become a stronghold in the military, which is different from what I originally thought. "

At this point, he laughed at himself: "I originally wanted Qiu Yan to be a lonely minister. Even a great scholar would be able to control it. But now it seems that he may be alone among the civil servants, but he unexpectedly got the help of military strategists. , coupled with the momentum of creating the classics, the throne of the military master is about to be stabilized, and it will be difficult to suppress it. "

There was a deep sense of worry in his words.

The white-faced old man knew in his heart that although he was also optimistic about Qiu Yan, he was closer to Li Kun. At this time, he also said sincerely: "This is exactly what the officials are worried about. If such a person stands in the court, he can be endangered within five steps." The safety of the official family is in danger. Even if there are ancestors Yu Meng and powerful people sitting in the palace, it is difficult to ensure that everything is safe. Talents are rare. According to Lao Nu's wish, we might as well let him have some experience in the officialdom, and then let him go back to the countryside and write books. Pass on what you have learned.”

The old man was worried that Li Kun would be jealous and kill Qiu Yan, which would be a pity.

In his opinion, the more capable Qiu Yan is, the better he will be to Darui, the more he can stabilize the world, and it can also make Li Kun's position more stable and less worrying. But everything has a limit, and if it exceeds this limit, even if it is not People have no different intentions, but as long as they have the ability to cause chaos, they are a threat to the emperor and must be guarded against.

Qiu Yan can become a classic, which shows that he has extraordinary views on human nature. Such people generally will not endanger the dynasty's rule, but are the cornerstone of the dynasty. However, if they are too close to the center of dynasty's authority, they will be unable to sleep and arouse suspicion. If there is a villain, tell a story. Second, something bad might happen.

"My eldest friend, you are overly worried. Tian Youqing and others have said something these days, but I understand their thoughts very well." Li Kun turned around, his eyes flashing with memories, "When Huang Kao was in power, he once There was once such a capable minister who cultivated supernatural powers. It is a pity that Huang Kao was worried and failed to reuse him and let him go away. Every time I think about it, I feel regretful. Now this matter falls on me. Only then did I realize that it was difficult, and personal safety was only one aspect..."

He shook his head, the tired look on his face getting stronger.

The white-faced old man looked at him worriedly, but could not interrupt at will. Huang Kao was the emperor's name for his late father, and he, an eunuch, was not qualified to comment.

As he spoke, Li Kun took the initiative to ignore the topic and said: "Yes, the rear army governor's office has been fighting with the monks on the grassland for several days, and I don't know what the outcome of the battle will be."

Only then could the white-faced old man speak: "The spiritual energy in the place of battle is chaotic, the magical power is endless, and the cultivation level is lower than the third level. There will be casualties in the encounter, so the spies dare not approach, and there is no news yet."

Li Kun nodded and said: "In this way, the situation is not clear yet, but the Three Saints of Rouluo are not coming out. Although there are still masters left, they will not do anything to Shi Gong. Moreover, this fight will also limit the grassland. The monks have been restrained and a better opportunity has been created. It is better to decide the date of dispatching the troops as soon as possible. "

The white-faced old man said: "Guan family, the old general of the Yang family once mentioned a few days ago that the number one scholar wants to unite the military order and can suppress the extraordinary and military power on the battlefield. When sending troops, if the number one scholar is present, the result can be twice the result with half the effort. "

"I also know this, so I am eager to find his whereabouts. Okay, companion, you should also take a break. If this matter is not urgent, we still need to prepare the food, grass and baggage first." Li Kun said and stood up. He told the little Huangmen next to him, "Go and ask the chief ministers to come over. I have something to discuss with them."

After finishing speaking, he turned back and smiled: "Wang Qing and others, they have been unable to eat or sleep at night these days. They are also conflicting about whether to send troops or not. Now that the news is accurate, it can give them peace of mind, but... …”

He looked at the picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains with expectation on his face.

"I don't know what the situation is like for the envoy to Sanshui. Qiu Aiqing has already given me a surprise. I wonder if Meng Qingbin and the others can still give me an unexpected harvest. If the Sanshui Ministry is willing to send troops, it will be a happy event. One piece is the icing on the cake.”

With Qiu Yan's actions, Li Kun has become more confident now. The thoughts in his heart are different from before. He originally placed his hope on the response of the Sanshui Department, but now he no longer attaches much importance to it. It is gratifying to be successful. , there is no need to worry about defeat, at worst, after severely injuring Rouluo, Sanshui will be given a sufficient lesson——

Until now, he has not really expected to be able to defeat Rouluo in one battle!

………………

Just when Li Kun was talking about the mission to Sanshui, the mission was in trouble.

Boom!

"This Sanshui tribe is really ignorant and bullies others too much! They don't take our Da Rui Dynasty seriously at all!"

Zhao Shen punched the table, causing the whole table to shake. However, he had never practiced martial arts and had tender skin and tender flesh. He struck out with anger and punched without any reservation. The shock came back, which was really painful. Unexpectedly, pain broke out, and his expression suddenly became distorted.

On the side, Zhong Yan looked at this scene, shook his head and said: "The so-called county officials are not as good as current officials. Darui is far away from Sanshui, and there are Rouluo and many grassland tribes in the middle. Even Rouluo can't persuade them. How can they threaten Sanshui? What's more, Sanshui Hu is also suppressed by Rou Luo. If Rou Luo is angered, how can they dare to get close to us? "

When he spoke, he also frowned.

Zhao Shen became more and more dissatisfied: "In this case, Prince Duolu of Rouluo should not have been so full of words, but when he came here, it was completely different. Isn't he deceiving us? What's even more hateful is that, He didn’t want to talk to us, but the gifts he brought were all taken away, which is extremely shameless!”

Zhong Yan still shook his head, stood up, walked to the tent, lifted the curtains and looked outside. The next moment, he was glared at by the Sanshui tribesman who was responsible for guarding, and was forced back.

"This is no longer house arrest, but they are going to imprison us openly and openly!" With a sigh, Zhong Yan retracted his gaze, turned his head, and his eyes fell on Di Ai who was sitting upright.

Di Ai remained silent, seeming to be deep in thought. After noticing Zhong Yan's gaze, he sighed and said, "I made a mistake this time. I didn't expect that the Lord of Sanshui Kingdom was determined to see Qiu Yan. Apart from that, He was unwilling to talk to me and others at all, which made it difficult to open up the situation, and that’s why it turned into this situation.”

Zhong Yan sneered: "You want to see Qiu Yan? I think it's just an excuse. Can't you see that the eldest prince Su Gai has already decided to belong to Rouluo! In his words, he seems to have regarded himself as Rouluo is affiliated and protected at all times. No one can say anything bad about Rouluo, and we don’t know whether he is a Sanshui person or a Rouluo person. "

Zhao Shen rolled his eyes, and suddenly tasted something different from Di Ai's words, and then said: "Speaking of Qiu Yan, this is indeed the biggest problem of this mission. If it fails in the end, not only will It is impossible to form an alliance with Sanshui, and it is possible to watch this clan surrender to Rouluo. We are certainly to blame, but in the final analysis, it is Qiu Yan who left his post without permission!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he met the eyes of the other two people and whispered: "At this point, haven't you two clearly seen the situation of the Sanshui Department? The old Khan is too old. He no longer has any ambitions and just wants to spend his old age in peace, but the eldest prince Su Gai is ambitious, but his intention is Rouluo, and he will not be compatible with Da Rui at all! Even if Qiu Yan comes, what's the use? Instead of doing this, it is better to prepare a retreat and take the initiative to avoid leaving a bad reputation." (To be continued...)
