Taiping Inn

Li Xuan looked at the top of the carriage, and the old things that were several years ago gradually appeared in his mind.

It was in Zhang Suqing's study, with six people in total. In addition to Li Xuan and Zhang Baigui, four old men were sitting.

The four old men are of different ages, the oldest is already in their seventies, and the youngest is also a person who knows destiny. As the saying goes, life is less than a hundred. In the eyes of ordinary people, these four old men are already in their prime, but at that time, it was these four old men who controlled the lifeline of the entire empire. All the government orders in the temple came from four people. The hand, which is well-known to everyone, is the "cabinet bill". After being approved by the Ministry of Lishu, it becomes an edict and can be issued to the 19 states in the world.

At this time, the atmosphere in the study was a bit subtle. Zhang Suqing, who was the highest-ranking, sat behind the desk, frowned slightly and didn't speak much. Xu Cunzhai, second only to Zhang Suqing, had a serious face and spoke very slowly. The other two cabinet masters, Shen Song, spoke fiercely and passionately, and Lu Wei's voice was low, hiding a sad feeling.

The four people's words were mixed together, making it difficult for Li Xuan to tell.

"At this point, do you still want the country and country of the ancestors? The people of the Great Wei Dynasty still care about it! Zhang Xiang and Ge Lao Xu, you have to say something to us."

"Of course, the country and country of our ancestors must be defended, and of course, the people of the Great Wei world must also be managed. But how to defend? How to manage it? It also needs to be discussed in the long run."

"Your Majesty of the Great Wei Dynasty has passed the thirteen emperors, and there has never been a precedent for the empress dowager to leave the curtain. If this example is opened, the next thing will be the old story of the empress taking power. Xu Ge Lao, I said something that should not be said by the young master. If we dare to turn things around in the court, will we ignore it?”

"Of course we can't ignore it."

"A ten-year-old child has a stinky breast and is still good at the hands of women in the deep palace. How can he rule the world? The key at the moment is not the mother and son, but the new policy."

"The achievements of all ages are one step away."

"One step behind the sky will lead to a disaster."

"The royal family is squandering and greed is rampant in the officialdom. If the Great Wei Dynasty does not rectify it, the country will be destroyed for a long time."

"Things can be taken lightly and power."

"The administration of officials must be reformed, the royal family must appease, and the treasury must be filled. What should I be lighter? And what should I be powered? Take this year as an example. In the first month, the cavalry invaded Liaodong. In February, millions of soldiers and civilians in Qinzhou were short of food. In March, Liangzhou was famine. In April, Yanzhou was famine again. In May, Shuzhou was famine again. In June, Yuzhou chieftains were civil strife. In July, Qinzhou refugees rebelled and attacked Shuzhou, and the barbarians in the southern border were rebelled against Yuzhou. . In the intercalary July, the long river broke through the dam in Qizhou, and there were no casualties, and refugees were everywhere."

"At this point, if there is another change in the center of the court, involving the six ministries and nine departments of the cabinet and the Grand Governor's Office, then the world will be in chaos immediately."

"The state affairs are unquestionable. The rebellion in the northwest is pacified, the Jin tent in Liaodong, the barbarians in the southern border, and the famines in several states. It takes money to fight and disaster relief to the country. They all rely on the national treasury, but the national treasury is deficient, so how can there be any more. Money? Either we implement the new policy or just sit back and wait for death.”

"The new policy is a national policy. No matter how many people die, it must be implemented. Death of one person is death, and a hundred people die is also death. Death of a hundred people is a number, and a thousand people die is also a number. Now, it is better than in the future Thousands of people died. "

"If the new policy is rashly implemented, it will involve too many people, in addition to the royal family, there are also hundreds of officials, officials from all over the country, and even generals who lead troops. Looking at the civil and military officials, the civil and military officials' robes are embroidered with birds and military officials' robes and uniforms are on their robes and uniforms. The one who embroidered it was a beast. When wearing this official uniform, who was not a beast? If it was involved, one of them would be retaliated against it immediately. Be careful."

"The saint said to be benevolence, and the saint said to be righteous. Why are you afraid of death? A person has a death. If he can sacrifice his life for the country, I, Shen, will accept it calmly!"

"You and I will die in a small way, but after you and I die, the people will die in a state of power. What will happen to the people?"

"Prior to take the initiative and then to control others. At this time, why don't we take the initiative to attack!"

"Cang Yan, be careful of your words!"

Li Xuan came to his senses, his face becoming more and more dim.

The carriages are heading south, moving along the post road, gradually disappearing in the ups and downs of hills. At first glance, there are all flat plains. It is the autumn harvest season, and the rice in the fields beside the road is golden. It seems that this year's harvest is Not bad, after all, Jingzhou is known as the "Grain of the World". As the saying goes, "Jingxiao is mature, the world is full." Almost half of the food in the world comes from Jingzhou and Xiaozhou. If these two states also cause a shortage of grain, then immediately There will be chaos in the world.

I don’t know how long I walked, but there was a little wetness in the air. When I walked forward, a majestic river suddenly appeared in my sight. The waves were surging, the water was extremely abundant, and it was surging on the plains, like an inability to walk in the road. The huge blue dragon lies across the world, making people realize that they are small when they see it.

This is the river that people often say in the word "river".

This big river divides the whole world into two, and the so-called south of the Yangtze River is south of the big river. In history, northern cavalry went south because of the natural dangers of the river, and it is difficult to argue about right and wrong. However, allusions derived from this include "flying south with clothes and hats", "vegetation and trees are all soldiers", "snatching the whip and breaking the river", "hitting the oars and flowing in the river", etc. , there are countless.

Looking at the green "green dragon" that seemed to be at the end of the sky, Hu Liang, who had always had no connection with the word "elegance", rarely recited an ancient poem: "How many things are going on and off in the ages, it is a long and leisurely."

Li Xuan, who was sitting next to Hu Liang, vomited a long breath of turbid air and said, "The river cannot be rolling."

Hu Liang stopped the carriage and whispered: "Old Li, don't be so heavy. Some things are like this river flowing eastward, and we can't stop them."

Li Xuan nodded.

After crossing the river, it is the true Jiangnan.

Li Xuan shook his head, as if he wanted to get rid of the old things that lingered in his mind, jumped out of the carriage, and said, "It's best for Jiangnan. Since I've arrived in Jiangnan, I'll go to Brother Song's place and want to come to Qingluanwei. I dare not make things difficult for the Fenglei Sect."

"When it comes to Brother Song, I miss his Jingzhou accent a little." Hu Liang showed gratitude on his face, paused, and added, "It's just that after listening too much, I want to die."

Li Xuan laughed and said, "No one of you two should tell each other. They are both worth a lot of money. They used to drink in Dijing, but when did I go to the store to tell you?"

Li Xuan is not from the Imperial Capital, but after living in the Imperial Capital for a while, he was able to speak authentic official words, which made Hu Liang, who had never learned official words, privately envious, because in the Imperial Capital, both men, women, young and old, they were quite a bit With a superior confidence, if you have a foreign accent, you will inevitably be underestimated, even if you go to the tile house. When young people travel to the imperial capital, they are bound to go to some fireworks. Hu Liang once hit a wall with a courtesan woman. That's fine. The key is that the courtesan woman's unintentional matter was just a matter of Li Xuandu, who was traveling with Hu Liang. The emotions were conveyed, and the words were hinted that in the end, not to mention not having money, I was afraid that it would be fine to pay money. This made Hu Liang, who had never admitted that it was a problem with appearance, felt sad and angry. He bit him to death and was the courtesan woman who disliked him accent. Hu Liang was always worried about this matter until they met Brother Song, who was also a local accent, and that he felt much better.

The reason why I call Brother Song is because the leader of the Fenglei Sect is indeed very old, he is already in his sixties, and he can be Li Xuandu's grandfather. However, when people in the world interact, no matter their age, first, seniority, how to do it. In terms of seniority? Judging from the teacher’s education and the ability, Li Xuan was the most famous person at that time, and Hu Liang was also a powerful figure in the area. Naturally, he could not be considered as juniors, but as relatives, which means that they should be considered as friends forgetting their age. After judging the seniority, it was only when it was old, so Brother Song came from this.

But then again, only because Li Xuandu and Hu Liang were in love with each other, they could call him "Brother Song". If they were replaced by other figures in the martial arts world, they would either call him "Senior Song" or "Song Heroes" Even if a person with similar identities should be called "Song Sect Master", otherwise it would be a blow to the entire Fenglei Sect and bully the Fenglei Sect, which would be a sweeping face of the Shenxiao Sect. The Shenxiao Sect is of great importance. One of the four Taoist sects, to put it more than that, the face of the Shenxiao Sect is also the face of the Taoist sect. How big a crime is this? The whole body is mixed, and it will move the whole body with one blow. Otherwise, Li Xuan would not have provoked half of the Jiangbei martial arts world because of the sword fighting.

Therefore, when walking in the world, there are rules everywhere and rules everywhere. Although it is not written, it may not be less than the Confucian rules set by saints.
