Origin

There was no unrest or turmoil in Youxiong City because of Wu Ao's death. The lives of the residents in the city were as before. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the old city looked gloomy. Most of the pedestrians on the street were stooped and had faces. There are dishes. After nearly twenty years of unremitting "efforts" by the three sidemen, Wu finally turned the dominant ship of the Bear clan into a shaky ship.

After a brief look down, Wu Zhongyuan landed on the square in front of the palace. As soon as he landed, a short figure ran over from the shelter on the right side of the square, "Sir, you are finally here."

"Why are you squatting in the corner on such a cold day?" Wu Zhongyuan greeted the second child. The second child was a dwarf with short arms and legs, so he couldn't run fast.

"Waiting for you," the second child took the opportunity to express his gratitude, "Sir, he knew you were coming, so he sent me to wait for you here. I was waiting here last night, but you never came."

"You have worked really hard during this period," Wu Zhongyuan smiled and patted the second child on the shoulder, "You have dug so many caves, are your claws almost worn out?"

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan did not ignore his contribution, the second child was very happy, "Not bad, not bad, by the way, congratulations on becoming the Great Wu of the Bear Clan."

"What's worth congratulating? Where is sir?" Wu Zhongyuan asked casually.

"It's in Youbi Palace, I'll take you there." The second child turned around and led the way.

When passing by a flower bed, the second child threw something into the flower bed while Wu Zhongyuan was not paying attention. Wu Zhongyuan saw it and pretended not to see it. What the second child threw was a half-dead mouse. It was very active by nature and felt uncomfortable all over if it stayed quiet. I have to find something to do.

Youbi Palace is very large. In addition to the main hall, there are dozens of rooms. These rooms are where wizards handle official business. However, most of the rooms are empty at this time, because even including Wu Di, Xiong There are only seven purple spirit wizards left in the clan.

Under the leadership of the second child, Wu Zhongyuan soon met the old blind man. The old blind man stayed in the room alone. Wu Di was not there. Perhaps because he was worried about the safety of the old blind man, Wu Di left Huang Mao'er in the room.

"Congratulations, sir, on being promoted to Wu Dynasty!" The old blind man couldn't hide his inner joy. Maybe it wasn't because he couldn't hide it, but because he didn't want to hide it.

"Sir, do you think it's time to take over the Bear Clan now?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"It's not the time, it's too late," the old blind man said sternly, "Do you have to wait until the Bear Clan is completely destroyed by Wu Ao before you come out to clean up the mess? If that day really comes, even if you take over the Bear Clan, it will be too late. It’s too late, no matter how powerful you are, there’s nothing you can do to save it.”

Wu Zhongyuan did not answer the call.

"at this point,

The best policy is to stabilize the situation as soon as possible," the old blind man said. "Wu Di told me about the Daqiu matter last night. Your Excellency handled Wu Rong and others very appropriately. Now the Bear Clan is in the midst of employing people. Failure to liquidate and hold people accountable will result in self-inflicted damage. "

"If the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if people are careful, there will be no disciples. I still understand this truth." Wu Zhongyuan reached out to stroke Huang Mao'er while speaking.

Huang Mao'er has been staring at him since he first entered the house. In modern terms, Huang Mao'er is very aloof. If Wu Zhongyuan didn't get close to it, it would feel neglected, but Wu Zhongyuan reached out to touch it and get close, but it avoided it. .

The old blind man said, "I didn't want to come to Youxiong, but I have to obey your will. I will only say a few words to you this time, and then I will leave Youxiong."

"Huh?" Wu Zhongyuan frowned and tilted his head.

The old blind man couldn't see Wu Zhongyuan's expression, but could hear his nasal voice, and hurriedly explained, "Don't misunderstand me, sir. I just don't want to stay in Youxiong. I don't want to leave you, as long as you don't chase me away." , I will always follow the adults to ask for food."

Hearing the words of the old blind man, Wu Zhongyuan felt very sad and said seriously, "Sir, what you said is wrong. I have appointed you as the Imperial Master earlier. You don't want to go anywhere. You can stay with Youxiong to advise me and fill in the gaps. "

The old blind man shook his head and said, "To tell you the truth, I have done something unscrupulous when I was young. If I stay in Youxiong, my identity will be exposed sooner or later. Then I will not be criticized by others. I will be cast aside by others, that's all. It will bring disaster to you, your reputation will be tarnished."

"I don't care what you have done before, I only know what you have done for me," Wu Zhongyuan said solemnly, "On the day I ascend the throne, the Imperial Master's appointment will be announced to the world at the same time. The Imperial Master will be in charge of the government, and together with Zuo Fu You Bi and the Three Dukes are tied together."

The old blind man looked horrified when he heard this, and waved his hands repeatedly, "Sir, you absolutely can't do this. I am a guilty person and I don't have much merit..."

Before the old blind man could finish speaking, Wu Zhongyuan interrupted him, "You are a member of the royal family of the Bear Clan. No matter what crime you have committed, the Great Wu of this clan can forgive you. I will officially pardon you. In the future, you must do more for the Bear Clan." Take responsibility, now we have twenty walled cities, and I want to build two more. I will definitely be busy with official duties in the future, and I will be too busy with all kinds of things."

The ancients said that a man dies for a confidant, and a woman dies for a man who pleases her. When he heard Wu Zhongyuan's words, the old blind man was so moved that he choked up and wiped his tears.

When the two were talking, they didn't shy away from the second child. The second child looked at the old blind man doubtfully, "Sir, isn't your surname Wang?"

The old blind man choked up and was speechless. Wu Zhongyuan replied, "Sir, he belongs to the royal family of the Bear Clan. In terms of seniority, he is my uncle."

"Ah? So you are still relatives." The second child was surprised.

After a while, the old blind man suppressed his excitement and said, "Your Excellency has treated me with deep love and loyalty, and I can't repay it by just following the example of a dog or horse. However, I will never accept the position of Imperial Master. If you force it, I have only one choice." Just left."

"I have informed the world about the imperial master before, and it cannot be taken back. Moreover, the official position must be obtained, otherwise you will..."

Before Wu Zhongyuan could finish speaking, the old blind man interrupted him, "Your Excellency, although Zhu Pi appointed me, I dissuaded Wu Qin from spreading the Dongyuan advertisement. Only the three city lords knew about this matter. In the future, I can go to Youbi Palace." Become a treasurer and work with Wu Di, and all official orders will be issued by Youbi Palace."

When Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer, the old blind man said again, "If you insist on having your own way, I will leave now."

Wu Zhongyuan sighed after thinking about it. What the old blind man said was not unreasonable. Now the four principals of Zuofu Palace and Youbi Palace and him have formed the core of power of five people. If the old blind man is added, it will be six people, and he will lose understand the meaning of discussing politics. Furthermore, the Emperor's Imperial Master will also aggravate other people's hostility towards the old blind man, which is not conducive to the unity and stability within the Bear Clan.

"Then I'm sorry for you, sir. I'll wait until the time is right to make further calculations," Wu Zhongyuan said, and then asked, "Is there a way to cure your eyes, sir?"

The old blind man shook his head, "If you are blind, you are blind. How can you cure it? In my opinion, being blind is not bad. If you have blind eyes, your heart will be bright."

"How did you lose your cultivation? Is it possible to recover it?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

The old blind man shook his head again, "To be honest, sir, my Dantian Qi sea is not damaged, but the meridians are broken, and I can no longer control the spiritual energy."

"Can you gather your energy to continue?" Wu Zhongyuan asked eagerly.

"Gathering Qi to continue? Haha, this is a shortcut to suicide," the old blind man said happily, "If we force the connection, the spiritual energy will definitely backfire on the heart, and I am afraid that even a stick of incense will not survive."

After the old blind man finished speaking, he added, "I understand your thoughts. You have just regained the throne of Wu. It is a time to work hard. Don't let me distract you anymore. There are some things I want to say to you for your consideration." .”

"Don't worry," Wu Zhongyuan raised his hand and said, "The consciousness of the bear spirit is enshrined in our altar. Now that Wu Ao is dead, the altar has to be opened again. Sir, since you have royal blood, you might as well enter the altar. The bear spirit will enter the altar. When a person ascends to Taixuan, Mr.’s meridians may be able to be connected at that time.”

The old blind man shook his head after hearing the words, "Your Excellency, I only know one thing but not the other. The Xiong Shen's teaching does not only teach spiritual energy cultivation, but also the Yellow Dragon Technique of my clan. I am a guilty person and a dying person." , I am already scared to have a bear in my body, how can I steal the gift from the great Wu Zunrong, not to mention that what I injured was the meridians instead of the Dantian Qi sea, so even if I get the bear god's transfer technique, I will not be able to continue."

The old blind man paused for a moment before speaking, and then said, "I have long discovered that Da Wu has shortcomings in his treatment of others, and now I am more and more convinced that I am bold enough to speak out this time. I hope you will calm down and accept advice."

"We are not outsiders. If you have anything to say, just say it." Wu Zhongyuan frowned and said. To be fair, he is not a person who likes to listen to opinions. The reason is very simple. He thinks that he does not have many flaws in his dealings with others.

"There are three major flaws in how you treat others," the old blind man said.

"Ah? I really didn't know I had so many problems." Wu Zhongyuan sneered.

"Ahem." The second child coughed twice.

The old blind man just pretended that he didn't hear the second child coughing, and stretched out his index finger, "First, sir, you often reward generously, but seldom punish. This can certainly win people's hearts..."

"I admit that I am very generous, but I am not trying to win over..."

"If it weren't for the purpose of winning over people's hearts, the problem would be even more serious. When superiors treat subordinates, they should reward three points and punish them seven points. If the adults blindly reward excessively, over time, the subordinates will get used to it. If they are not rewarded, they will feel resentful. As everyone knows, it is the duty of a servant to fulfill one's duties faithfully, and one should remain loyal to the Lord even if there is no reward." said the old blind man.

"Sir, what you said makes sense. I will pay attention to it in the future." Wu Zhongyuan pondered and nodded. In fact, he is not unable to accept criticism. As long as the other party is truthful and makes sense, he will still accept it. Thinking about it carefully, he does have this aspect. The question is, I am too generous. I want to give away good things when I get them.

"Thank you, sir." The old blind man extended his middle finger again, "Your Majesty is kind-hearted and will not kill or injure anyone. As a king, this is a taboo."

Everyone will instinctively defend themselves when they are criticized, and Wu Zhongyuan is no exception. "Sir, he also said that the Bear Clan is currently in the midst of employing people, and it is not appropriate to hold people accountable."

"That's not what I'm talking about," the old blind man said, "May I ask, sir, earlier the bandits in the Southern Wilderness surrounded and killed the Wushan people. You clearly knew that they were trying to lure you out. Didn't you come out?"

Wu Zhongyuan did not answer the call.

The old blind man said again, "Let me ask you again, Sir, when you were trapped in the formation with the Demon King, you only needed to kill the two women in the formation to relieve the crisis of the weak Shui Longze. Did you make a prompt decision?"

"Cough cough cough..."
