Before Chen Pingan accompanied Mao Xiaodong down the mountain to the Confucian Temple in Beijing to "try his luck", he first arranged the manpower in the academy to prevent others from taking advantage of the loophole for no reason. Come up with a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
First let Pei Qian move out of the guest house and live in the house where Xie Xie took care of him. He was accompanied by Shi Rou. Chen Pingan handed over the golden demon-binding rope. she.
Lin Shouyi would practice in the courtyard named Cui Dongshan during the day, and "Du Mao" moved in. After Lin Shouyi chatted with Chen Pingan, he simply lived in the courtyard openly.
Chen Pingan asked Zhu Lian and Yu Lu to take care of Li Baoping and Li Huai secretly.
Zhu Lian and Yu Lu, a rickety old man who always smiles when he sees a woman, and a tall young man who always has a calm smile on his face, who can imagine that they are actually two golden-body realm of pure martial arts.
Li Baoping and Pei Qian stayed in Cui Dongshan's main house together at night. I believe Cui Dongshan would not have any objections and would not dare to do so.
Xie Xie and Lin Shouyi each lived in a side house. Shi Rou was a female figure and could serve as a night watchman, while Li Huai shared a room with Lin Shouyi.
Zhu Lian does not need to live in the courtyard, he can just sleep in the original guest house at night.
But Yu Lu must partner with Shi Rou to watch the whole night.
Chen Ping'an doesn't quite believe that Shi Rou can handle some emergencies.
On the other hand, Yu Lu has always been reassuring.
As for Mao Xiaodong’s academy, among the masters and gentlemen who watch the night, there have always been civil and military distinctions. For example, Dong Jing, the great scholar who had a crush on Lin Shouyi, was a master of thunder techniques. There is an old Jindan monk, and there is also a little-known Nascent Soul Immortal, who, like Mao Xiaodong, comes from Dali. It is the old man surnamed Liang who guards the gate of the academy. At the critical moment, This person can replace Mao Xiaodong in the academy.
Finally, Chen Pingan called Li Baoping aside alone and handed her the two items he got from Li Baozhen, a jade pendant with "Dragon Palace" engraved on it, and a jade pendant with the word "Dragon Palace" engraved on it. The true body talisman of the day and night wandering god.
Li Baoping was a little confused.
Chen Pingan did not hide anything. He told Li Baoping roughly what happened when he and Li Baozhen met in Qingluan Kingdom. Finally, he rubbed Li Baoping's head and said softly: "In the future, I will not take the initiative to find your second brother, and I will try to avoid him. But if Li Baozhen doesn't give up, or feels humiliated at the Lion Park, and there is another conflict in the future, I will not show mercy to you. Of course, these are all with you. It has nothing to do with it."
Li Baoping was a little depressed, but his eyes were still bright, "Little uncle, you and my second brother just follow the rules of the world and keep our grudges clear..."
Li Baoping said this and asked: "Uncle Junior, can I write a letter to my elder brother and ask him to persuade the second brother to stop?"
Chen Pingan thought for a while and nodded. : "It's feasible."
Li Baoping was about to speak and was about to give the jade pendant and talisman to Chen Pingan.
Before going down the mountain this time, the young master uncle had already told them about the current situation.
Li Baoping wanted to give his little uncle two more things.
Chen Ping'an already smiled and said: "In the Lion Park, I teamed up with a very powerful swordswoman to capture an extremely rare monster that was equivalent to a living cornucopia, and we gained a lot. The female crown has monopolized the monster, and as compensation and reward, she gave me sixty-two Grain Rain coins, so I want to borrow the True Body Talisman of the Day and Night Traveler from you. It's not buying it, it's borrowing it. It's a bit like a pawn shop, but we are. On the contrary, if you give me the talisman, I will give you these Guyu coins, because this talisman is of extremely high quality and is not a one-time consumption. It can be used repeatedly. As long as the immortal money can support it, the two wandering gods day and night can be used. It can always exist in the world, even after the spiritual energy is dispersed, as long as the person who draws the talisman has the ability to put the finishing touch on the talisman, he can still order the two gods to appear. To be honest, sixty-two Grain Rain coins are a lot. It’s a lot of money, but it’s still not enough to buy this priceless talisman, so I’m not buying the talisman…” After holding it in for a long time, Li Baoping couldn’t help it anymore and said seriously: "Uncle Junior, I'm very sad that you are alienated from me like this."
Chen Ping'an explained patiently: "You and I, as well as your elder brother, are not alienated, but with the whole Fu Mr. Li from Lujie Street still needs to see someone. After you pawned the talisman at the temporary pawnshop of Junior Master, the Grain Rain money can be sent to Longquan County by Master Maoshan. Your grandfather is now a Yuan born and raised in our hometown. There is probably no shortage of infant immortals and all kinds of magic weapons. After all, when it comes to picking up leaks in Lizhu Cave, the four major surnames and the ten major clans must be the best at it. However, your grandfather must have more money for the gods now, even though the magic weapons at home are at the bottom of the box. , you can also sell it for money, there is no need to worry about selling it, but for Qi practitioners, unless it is a spiritual weapon that is inconsistent with their own way, they are generally reluctant to sell it."
Li Baoping smiled happily. , "It turns out that the junior uncle still had my best interests at heart. It was me who wrongly blamed the junior uncle. I was rude and rude. It's my fault."
Li Baoping began to bow to Chen Ping'an and apologize in a decent manner.
After Li Baoping stood up straight, Chen Pingan stretched out his hands, pinched her cheeks, and joked with a smile: "Quickly squeeze the little Baoping now while she hasn't grown up yet. "
Li Baoping stood still, his smart eyes narrowed into crescent moons with a smile.
Chen Pingan finally watched Li Baoping run away.
Going to the mountain gate of the academy, Mao Xiaodong has been waiting for a long time.
The two left the academy, walked through the street, and turned into Baimao Street. Chen Pingan quietly handed the talisman to Mao Xiaodong.
Mao Xiaodong glanced at it and put it in his sleeve.
The tall old man asked Chen Pingan with the ripples in the lake of his heart, "I have never seen this talisman before, and the material is weird. Do you have any explanation?"
Chen Pingan asked with the sound of a pure martial artist. formed a line and replied: "It is an ancient talisman from the "Authentic Book of Alchemy". It is called the True Body Talisman of the Day and Night Traveling God. The essence isOn the word "true body", the book says that it can connect to the deity of the god. It is not the ordinary Taoist Fulu sect's method of edicting gods to rely on a little talisman spiritual light to summon the appearance of the gods. The shape of the talisman is redundant. It is said that this talisman is mostly similar to gods. It is said that Contains a divinity. "
After that, Chen Pingan explained in detail the techniques and precautions for controlling this talisman.
The more Mao Xiaodong listened, the more surprised he became, "Where did such a precious talisman come from? "
Chen Pingan ignored his personal grudges with Li Baozhen and only said that someone asked him to give the amulet to Li Baoping.
Mao Xiaodong smiled and asked: "You just Leave it to me like this? "
Chen Ping'an said: "In the hands of the master of Maoshan, everything can be put to its fullest use. I am a martial artist who uses talismans, but I don’t know how to use them. I have not learned the most authentic method of the "Authentic Book of Alchemy", so it is easy to damage the essence of the talisman. Any talisman that I open up the mountain and shine the light on it will be fished in the dry lake. "
Mao Xiaodong said something strange, "Well, I have learned it personally. "
Chen Ping'an was a little confused.
Mao Xiaodong didn't say anything.
He is indeed the junior brother who was called the boy who gives money to Cui Dongshan. He is really impressive. Just giving gifts and spreading wealth?
The two of them were walking on Baimao Street. Chen Pingan asked: "Xiaobaoping skipped so many classes for me, a junior uncle. Aren't Master Mao worried about her studies?" ? "
Mao Xiaodong said: "Li Baoping is the one who has learned the most correctly in our academy. As for learning, there are so many books by sages and sages from hundreds of schools of thought in the library of Shanya Academy. It’s just a matter of reading. It’s very interesting. You are insincere and inexperienced. The words in the books are all squeamish and arrogant. Those words can’t be understood. Li Baoping grew her own legs from the book, moved away from the book, and went into the belly of the scholar. Li Baoping was very good. Some of the principles explained in the book were not big. Not only did she grow legs, but they also lived in her belly. inside, and then into the heart. Finally, these words returned to the world of heaven and earth, jumped out from the heart, grew wings, went to the cart where she was selling charcoal to the old man, and landed on her watching chess. On the silent chessboard, the place where two naughty children were trying to break up the fight went to the old woman who was helping her... It seemed like a trivial matter, but it was actually quite remarkable. Aren’t we Confucian sages always pursuing this? There are three immortalities in reading. People in later generations often salivate over the three words of speech, merit and virtue, but they don't know that the word "establish" is the root. How can we be able to stand upright, stand firm, and be knowledgeable?
Mao Xiaodong put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky in the capital, "Chen Pingan, you missed a lot of beautiful scenery. Every time Xiaobaoping goes out to play, I follow him quietly." This great capital city of Sui Dynasty felt like... coming to life after the appearance of such a hot-tempered little girl in red clothes. "
Mao Xiaodong said it more emotionally. Chen Ping'an was just a little happy. He was happy that Xiaobaoping was successful in his studies at the academy.
Mao Xiaodong suddenly said: "You Nowadays, I am reading both Confucian and Legalist books, so I would like to remind you a few words. If Confucianism is complicated andIf you are not sophisticated, you will easily get confused, as if you can find the truth you want in books for everything, so it will make people confused, especially when encountering issues involving big rights and wrongs, which will make people feel at a loss. But you should also pay attention to why, throughout history, no monarch has ever been willing to publicly declare that he only respects Legalism?
Before Chen Pingan could speak, Mao Xiaodong had already waved his hand and said, "You underestimate the capacity of the Confucian sages, and you underestimate the strength of the Confucian sages." "
Mao Xiaodong sighed softly: "Do you know how the saints view the level of a certain line of knowledge? "
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "I definitely don't know this. ”
He subconsciously took off the wine gourd. Mao Shanzhu’s heartfelt words were used to drink wine. The taste was so good that Chen Pingan could have endless aftertaste.
Mao Xiaodong pointed to the bustling street. He pointed casually a few times and said with a smile: "For example, Confucianism makes people fall in love, and Legalism makes people go far apart. "
Chen Pingan was thoughtful.
Mao Xiaodong said: "This is just my opinion, it may not be correct. If you think it's useful, take it and chew it as a side dish. If you think it's useless, just throw it away. It doesn't matter. There are so many good words of wisdom in the book, but I don't see how much people in the world cherish and understand them thoroughly. My half-full knowledge, Mao Xiaodong, is really nothing. "
Chen Ping'an drank wine and said nothing.
Mao Xiaodong was silent for a moment, looking at the endless flow of Beijing streets, and for no reason thought of a certain casual saying of a certain little bastard, “What drives history forward is often some wonderful mistakes, some extreme ideas and a few inevitable accidents. ”
Mao Xiaodong
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
My thoughts were drifting away. After I came back to my senses, I still didn’t wait for Chen Pingan to speak. The old man He turned around and said in surprise: "Shouldn't I say a few polite words at this moment that Master Maoshan is very knowledgeable and should not belittle oneself? ”
Chen Pingan was speechless.
Mr. Qi, Sword Immortal and Cui Chan.
Then the tall old man next to him.
Chen Pingan always feels that the disciples taught by Mr. Wen Sheng are too different.
Just looking back, it seems that Cui Dongshan and Pei Qian, his "students", are also different. The situation is almost the same.
If possible, Cao Qinglang from Lotus Root Land will be even more different.
I remember a book on Mongolian studies once said that only when a hundred flowers bloom. It's spring.
That makes sense. ————
In the dusk, Chen Pingan and Mao Xiaodong have not yet returned to the academy.
Cui Dongshan's courtyard is crowded for the first time.
Li Baoping, Li Huai, Lin Shouyi, Yu Lu, thank you.
Pei Qian and Shi Rou.
Lin Shouyi and Xie Xie sat at the two ends of the green bamboo corridor of Qingxiao Crossing, each breathing in and practicing.
Shi Rou, who was tied up, only felt his body.There was no place for her to stand in the academy, and she felt even more awkward in this courtyard.
Chen Pingan has briefly mentioned some of the origins and cultivation abilities of Li Huai and others intermittently.
Li Baoping's second brother, Li Baozhen, Shi Rou had seen before. He was a very ruthless man.
Li Huai's father is said to be a ten-level martial artist. He once almost killed Song Changjing, the king of the Great Li clan, and even climbed a mountain alone with two fists to demolish the Tongye Sect's ancestral hall.
Chen Pingan has not said Yu Lu's identity, but Shi Rou already knows that this young tall scholar is a pure martial artist in the eighth realm.
Xie Xie’s current identity is said to be Cui Dongshan’s maid. Shi Rou only knows that Xie Xie was once a monastic genius in a great dynasty.
Shi Rou stood at the entrance of the courtyard, intentionally or unintentionally keeping a distance from everyone.
Shi Rou knew that these people came to Sui Dynasty to study for the first time, and that Chen Pingan was the "master" along the way. According to what Chen Pingan heard when chatting with Pei Qian and Zhu Lian, that meeting Is your son Chen Ping'an a second or third level martial artist?
Why are these people who are the pride of heaven in any great dynasty? It seems that for Chen Ping'an, a foreigner who has just arrived at the academy, his arrangement feels very natural, even... A matter of course?
Li Baoping was copying books in Cui Dongshan’s small study.
Pei Qian and Li Huai lay on the green bamboo floor at the entrance of the main room, moved out Cui Dongshan's favorite chessboard and chess jar, and started playing backgammon.
The rules are the same as Cui Dongshan’s trick that defrauded Pei Qian.
Yu Lu sat cross-legged between the two of them. Pei Qian and Li Huai made an appointment. Everyone has three chances to ask Yu Lu for help.
Yu Lu, who works in two boats and serves as a dog-headed military advisor, is more attentive than Pei Qian and Li Huai, who often bicker.
Shi Rou feels like an outsider.
But she is obviously the owner of a fairy's relic, and she has a bright future, and her future achievements may be higher than everyone in the hospital.
If it were any sect-named mountain gate in Aquarius Continent, shouldn’t she be enshrined?
Here, everyone was polite to her, but that was all. The politeness revealed an undisguised alienation and coldness.
Shi Rou couldn’t understand.
————
The Cai Mansion finally gave the cheap ancestor a gift like a god of plague.
Everyone from Cai Jingshen to the cook in the kitchen was relieved.
Probably the only ones who were slightly disappointed were the pretty maids who had the opportunity to serve the handsome god.
Cui Dongshan left the prefecture and did not go straight to the capital. Instead, he lived in a grand temple in the capital.
In the Taoist temple, an old Taoist who presided over religious rituals and taught people to enter Taoism, so he had the honorific title of "Master" on the Taoist genealogy, came to visit in the name of discussing Taoism.
Wei Xian knew very well that the old Taoist must be aA spy of the Great Li who was stationed in the territory of the Sui Dynasty.
This is not surprising at all. When Cui Dongshan had nothing to do, he showed Wei Xian a list of the dead soldiers and spies of the Sui Dynasty who are still dormant in Dali. There are naturally more spies that have not yet been discovered. Many of the names circled in ink above were said by Cui Dongshan to be those who specialize in selling information. They were double-faced spies. They were the most fun. They didn't recognize their relatives and only recognized money. It was more refreshing to deal with them.
It was just a little bit beyond Wei Xian's expectation. Although the old Taoist was undoubtedly a Dali spy, after giving a concise report, Zhen and Cui Dongshan began to sit on a futon each and talk about everything. .
Hearing this, Wei Xian dozed off.
After the old Taoist left, Cui Dongshan pointed to the futon opposite and said, "Hurry up and sit down while it's hot."
Although Wei Xian sat down, he did not sit down On the futon, just sitting on the floor.
Cui Dongshan took out an antique small table from something nearby, which was filled with the four treasures of the study. He spread out a piece of exquisite paper that was probably made by the imperial palace and began to write.
Wei Xian asked: "Why did Mr. Cui suddenly change his mind, leave the Cai family, rush to the capital, but stop here?"
This is Wei Xian's worst thought. Unsolvable problem.
Cui Dongshan did not raise his head or give an answer. Instead, he asked a question in a digression: "Do you think people's hearts are not complicated anymore?"
Wei Xian nodded: "Of course."
Cui Dongshan was once a recognized master of calligraphy in the Middle-earth Divine Continent. His writing was so flowing that even Wei Xian found it pleasing to the eye when looking at it from a distance.
Cui Dongshan continued to write the summary of all the intelligence, and said slowly: "The human heart seems unpredictable. In fact, it is far less complicated than you think. Everyone in the world is greedy for life and afraid of death. This It is the nature of human beings, and even the nature of all living things. The reason why they are different from animals is that there is deep love for children, the inheritance of incense, and the rise and fall of a family and country, right? This emotion will become more obvious."
Wei Xian thought for a while, "That's true, but there are more vague and mixed balanced people."
Cui Dongshan stopped. After writing, he put it on the porcelain pen holder, shook his wrist, and sneered: "What's the balance? It's just a fool. His mind is wavering and he goes with the flow. When he sees beauty, he gets excited, when he sees money, when he sees fame and fortune, he wants it all. If he wants it, he can do it. They are afraid of overestimating their abilities. Liu Qingfeng, Li Baozhen, Wei Li, and Wu Yuan are smart people, but they also have shortcomings and shortcomings. "Wu Yuan, who serves as the governor of Longquan County, agrees with my theory of merit. , is my nominal disciple, but I was favored by the empress who ate food and practiced Taoism in Changchun Palace in my early years. I think that everything I have today is a reward from the empress, so I am constantly wavering between personal favors and state affairs. Life is very tangled."
"What Li Baozhen wants is not unusual, and it is not as consistent with Confucian orthodoxy as Wu Yuan's.Li Baozhen is a very good minister, but he is wise and foolish. Li Baozhen still doesn't understand. At this moment, he still just pretends to be stupid. But the so-called smart people in the world are nothing but worthless. "
"Huang Tingguo Wei Li, relatively speaking, is the most refined among the four people, and the most important thing in his heart is the country, the country, and the common people. But the layout is still small. I have seen the land of a country and the customs of a century, but I am not used to seeing the land of a continent and the plan of a thousand years. "
"Liu Qingfeng, the county magistrate of Xiaoqingluan Kingdom, among the four, I am the most optimistic. It's a pity that he doesn't have the qualifications to practice, and his lifespan is a hundred years at most. He is really... jealous of talents? "
Wei Xian was a little surprised when he heard this.
Mr. Cui is actually willing to describe others as "talents"?
In fact, Wei Xian has been chewing on Cui in his heart. Dongshan’s so-called theory of people’s hearts.
Cui Dongshan grabbed a pile of intelligence classified as low-level from several cases and threw it to Wei Xian, “It is the latest information from the imperial examination scholars of the Great Li and the Great Sui. Falling poems are one of the ways I use to relieve my boredom when I am bored. "
After Wei Xian caught it, Cui Dongshan said: "You probably want to ask me how to determine the depth and direction of people's hearts. It seems feasible, but in fact, things are unpredictable and people's hearts fluctuate. Unexpected changes will result in many temporary changes, which are still extremely troublesome and extremely difficult to be accurate, so it cannot be regarded as real knowledge, right? "
Wei Xian nodded and did not deny it.
Cui Dongshan smiled and pointed at his head, "When you go up the mountain to practice, in addition to longevity, you will also gain spiritual light here. "
Cui Dongshan then flicked his wrist and sprinkled a large amount of fairy money on several cases, "The division of people's hearts that I mentioned first can be supplemented by the counting skills of hundreds of masters. Calculate, from one to ten, judge respectively, and you will find that the so-called ups and downs of people's hearts will not affect the final result. "
Before Wei Xian could speak, Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "One to ten is still not accurate enough. So what if it can be one to one hundred?
Wei Xian said with emotion: "This artist's method has always been regarded as a trivial method in the world, isn't it always only praised by merchants with a poor reputation?" Can sir still use it like this? Is it possible that in addition to Confucianism and Legalism, Sir, he is also one of the admirers of martial arts? "
Cui Dongshan sneered and said: "Is an artist worthy of my respect? "
Cui Dongshan stood up and said, "I even want to explore the differences between gods and humans, the three souls and the six souls, and the most minute details in the world. A small magician can't do anything on paper. ”
Wei Xian held the stack of papers filled with poems about the defeat of scholars from both countries, and was speechless.
Cui Dongshan circled a hundred and eight thousand miles and finally returned to Wei The first question that Xian asked was, "I know everything about the academy inside and out. The only variable now is Master Zhao who has no power to restrain a chicken.
Wei Xian asked doubtfully: "If an old scholar and a Confucian saint sitting in a small academy are facing each other, how can the former make waves?" What's more, according to Mr. Cui, Mao Xiaodong is not a rigid scholar.Mistakes may occur. Furthermore, according to Mr. Sui's explanation, the Sui Emperor would never dare to attack Li Baoping and Li Huai unless he wanted to destroy himself. "
Cui Dongshan stared at Wei Xian blankly, with a look of disgust on his face, "Think about it carefully, I have reminded you before, stand taller and look at the problem. "
Wei Xian was shocked.
Cui Dongshan stretched out his hand to rub his cheek and sneered: "The Emperor of the Sui Dynasty is in Guozuo, but the people behind the scenes care about Da Li and Sui Dynasty. Beat him to death
(This chapter is not finished yet, please turn the page)
Beat him to death and die together? If assassinating one or two people could determine the direction of a continent, would you, Wei Xian, be tempted? Merchants and disciples will be happy to see the results. In war, you can make a lot of money by killing people. As for... the master politicians who like to be sneaky and hide behind the scenes, even more so! "
Wei Xian's mood was agitated, and his hands were actually shaking a little.
This is the world that the founding emperor of the Nanyuan Kingdom really yearned for!
Great chaos Great fight!
On the mountain and below, emperors, generals, immortals and gods are all caught up in the current, and they are all involuntarily pawns.
It’s just Cui Dongshan. As if remembering something sad, she wiped her face and said Qi Qiran: "Look, I have such great ability and knowledge, but what nonsense am I doing right now? The calculations and calculations are just a small business of cutting off the sperm from the legs of mosquitoes. The old bastard is happily plotting to take over the entire Aquarius Continent. I can only look after his home and care for him, staring at a place like Sui Dynasty. He builds a dojo in a snail shell. The family property is too small, so I can only mess around. If you have to worry about someone who is not doing well, you will be expelled from the teacher..."
Cui Dongshan reached out and clenched his fist and punched his heart hard, "Old Wei, my heart aches. ”
Then Wei Xian looked at the boy in white rolling around in the room, and then looked down at the poems in his hands that were said to show his true temperament.
He was. Not heartbroken, just tired.
————
The Gao family in the Sui Dynasty treated literati kindly, which has been a tradition since the founding of the country.
Not to mention a new scholar like Zhang Dai. Although he is still in the Hanlin Academy for the time being, he already has a ten-room three-entry courtyard in the capital, which was paid for by the Ministry of Household Affairs.
This day. At dusk, Zhang Dai took a walk in the empty house, fed a few red carps in the big tank, and then went to the study to write music alone.
Zhang Dai was from the local Han ethnic group and was trying out craftsmanship in the county. The article was well written, but it was not amazing. He was just a blockbuster in the palace examination and was able to jump to the top.
After becoming the number one scholar, he moved to this house. The only change was. Zhangdai hired a coachman and a carriage. Apart from that, Zhangdai did not have many banquets and entertainments. It is difficult to imagine that this young man in his early twenties was the new Wenkui of the Sui Dynasty, let alone He will appear at the Cai family's mansion, speak out generously, and finally leave in the same carriage as General Miao Ren, who made great contributions to the founding of the country.
All of this, Cai Feng and Miao Ren, all think it is reasonable. Zhang Dai has a very valuable No. 1 scholar status. He is one of the four spirits of the Sui Dynasty whose reputation spreads throughout the court and the public. He has a humble but innocent status. , full of passion, so easy to control, I feel that this person is willing to take the lead for the sake of family and country.
When Zhang Dai heard the knock on the door, he stopped playing Go and playing scores, raised his head and said, "Come in."
It was the old coachman who lived in the house.
The old man stood at the door of the slightly gloomy study and said slowly: "Mao Xiaodong has left the academy with a young man named Chen Pingan."
"They are not Are you swearing to kill the literary demon Mao Xiaodong? Just kill him."
Zhang Dai said expressionlessly: "Let the spy in the academy find an excuse to let Zhao Shi and Bai Lu leave together. Academy, find a secluded place, knock it out and hide it. After controlling the white deer, remember not to make the gatekeeper, Nascent Soul monk Liang Rensi, suspicious. As long as you enter the academy smoothly, be decisive in your actions. One person must die, and two people must die. It's better."
The old man nodded.
Zhang Dai hesitated for a moment, "I will leave the Sui capital tonight."
The old man smiled and said: "After this is done, the young master will return to the Middle Earth God The continent is bound to make a great journey."
Zhang Dai was unconvinced.
After the old man left.
Zhang Dai put down the chess record in his hand and looked down at the chess game.
Vertical and horizontal.
————
In the southeast of Aquarius Continent, on the edge of Qingluan Kingdom’s capital, there is a private residence of unknown reputation.
The young man, one of the spy leaders of Da Li Green Poting, had a gloomy face.
Everyone in the hall has different identities. They are all masters of pens and swords in the officialdom and literary world of Qingluan Kingdom. Of course, they are also the confidants attracted by the Great Li Dynasty.
Li Baozhen looked at the ground and twirled the tea cup without taking a sip of tea with his fingers.
Everyone was trembling with fear.
The reason why they are gathered here is to do one thing.
The gentle patriarch and literary leader of the Qingluan Kingdom, the old servant Liu Jingting who has retired to the Lion Garden, will drive Liu Jingting into the mud with each pen, so that this person will never recover. It is difficult to form a cohesive force for those Nandu Yiguan who migrate in a hurry. Qingluan Kingdom still needs a scholarly scholar, but it does not need the outstanding Liu Jingting.
As long as Liu Jingting's reputation is ruined, those wealthy families will fall apart.
Da Li is willing to see this scene, and even the emperor of Qingluan Kingdom will feel that each has its own pros and cons, so that he will not be hindered by the group of outsiders who cannot distinguish the situation, and will not be hindered every day by this group of guys who do not know how to do as the locals do. , dictating the affairs of the Qingluan Kingdom, and commenting on current affairs after eating every day. Then the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty could sit on the floor with Dali and divide the spoils, and win over those wealthy families.
But tonight, more than a dozen people here have used all their family backgrounds and influence to criticize Liu Jingting, almost bringing Mr. Liu to the end.I read out every article, poem, and official document written by the Minister, looking for loopholes word for word.
I never thought that the effect was not significant, but also aroused the public indignation of the vast majority of scholars in Qingluan Kingdom. Some officials in the government who had different political views from Liu Jingting, as well as many local scholars, were somewhat dissatisfied. If he refused, he began to speak out for Liu Jingting. Especially those rich and well-dressed people who came here were even more furious and ran around for Liu Jingting. Even the gossip that Liu Jingting was about to return to the center of the temple and be promoted to Minister of Rites began to spread in the capital.
Li Baozhen raised his head and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, everyone. This thing was not done well. Instead of a good start, it was all dark. I fell down hard. The first one to be stabbed was me, Li Baozhen." , it will be your turn later. If the National Master is understanding, he might think that we are excusable and give us another chance."
It would be better not to say these "comforting words". , when Li Baozhen said this, everyone felt chills running down their spines.
Creepy.
Candlelight flickered in the lobby.
Of course Li Baozhen was extremely angry, a bunch of drunkards and ricebags!
At this moment, two figures appeared in the lobby, one walked in and the other stayed outside the door.
Looking at the Confucian scholar walking into the lobby, Li Baozhen felt a little helpless. He thought he could do it beautifully by avoiding this person, but how could he have imagined that it would be like this?
The man's voice was not loud, and he said slowly: "Everyone here, we are already halfway done, and there are still three small steps to take."
"The first step is to pause. The offensive of pouring dirty water on Liu Jingting turned around and praised the old minister. There are three more steps in this step. First, you and your friends should first publish some upright and peaceful articles to cover this matter. Secondly, they began to invite another group of people to deify Liu Jingting. The more disgusting the words, the better. They boasted Liu Jingting's moral articles so much that he could move to the Confucian Temple to accompany him after his death. Third, write another article and criticize all the officials and celebrities who have defended Liu Jingting indiscriminately. The worse the wording, the better, but the general purpose of the article must be clear. He described everyone as Liu Jingting’s helpers and likened them to gangsters.”
At first, everyone in the hall sneered and cursed after hearing this person’s first words.
It’s just that the more I hear about it, the more I feel...the method is novel!
The man continued: "The second step is to wait for a period of time and then redirect the spearhead and point directly at Liu Jingting. This requires some tricks. All articles, purposes and foundations must be in 'Although ', 'even', for example, 'although' Liu Jingting has moral flaws, but his flaws cannot be concealed. His disciples have produced many talents, and then you can list them one by one. The murderous intention lies in those prominent officials who are jealous. Body. Another example is that even if Liu Jingting's political performance is mediocre, he canIt's relatively clean at the end, it's just a lion park that's famous throughout the continent.
The man explained: "Why is this so?" Because to onlookers, these articles seemed calm on the surface and were also defending Liu Jingting. Many neutral people who were not involved in this literary war began to implicitly acquiesce in the assumed facts. The so-called excuse of hidden murderous intent is just adding insult to injury. "
Everyone in the hall looked at each other.
The man smiled and said: "The third step is to make a fuss about personal ethics. For example, if you hire someone to catch a knife, you don't need to care about the quality of the writing, just the gimmick is enough, such as Liu Jingting's erotic story of staying in a nunnery on a rainy night, or the old man picking up ashes, or the story of a pear blossom crushing a begonia in the Lion Garden and the pretty maidservant, and then do it by the way. Some catchy limericks are compiled into storytelling stories, and storytellers and charlatans are invited to exaggerate them. "
The man saw that everyone was shocked and puzzled, but he still patiently explained: "Don't think it is useless. The down-and-out scholars without fame like to read this, but the common people who don't care about the truth like to hear this. . In the scholar forest, three people become tigers. In the market place, mosquitoes gather like thunder. "
The man finally smiled, took out a piece of paper, walked to Li Baozhen, handed it over, and looked around, "Everyone here may not know the method, price, and price of engraving an erotic book. How much money should be paid to those storytellers, and all kinds of trivial things that are not worth mentioning, I have written down on paper, so that you will not accidentally be taken advantage of. Moreover, many ordinary people doing business, although they are of low status, are actually quite valuable. They are cunning and intelligent, and each has their own way of dealing with the world. Once they get a big advantage in money, they may even look down on you. "
The man said goodbye and left.
As he approached the door, he suddenly turned around and said with a smile: "Everyone, I have the chance to show off my skills here. I hope I can help. Get busy. ”
Everyone stared at the man leaving.
Li Baozhen’s mouth was dry and he clutched the paper in his hand tightly.
The rest of them were even more so. My scalp is numb.
You must know that the man’s name is Liu Qingfeng.
He is the eldest son of Liu Jingting.
