After Haole came back, Ziyun also asked about the results of the date, and Haole said that he could handle it completely, the whole atmosphere was good, and there was nothing to be embarrassed about.

Ziyun was a little puzzled, Haole's temperament was not a person who could socialize happily with girls, let alone a young lady from an aristocratic family. But it's not a big deal, as long as it doesn't threaten your stupid junior brother.

The next few days were still uneventful, but the Yayunle Chamber of Commerce had one more frequent customer. Since the last date, Lang Siqi has often come to find Haole. The relationship between the two gradually became familiar. Ziyun also understood why Haole seemed better in front of her than in front of other girls.

Trench Le is still the same Trench Pleasure, but Lang Siqi is a smart woman, and she can always find topics that Trench Le is good at expressing. Ordinary men and women interact, suitors always like to show shiny places in front of their favorite girls, and Lang Siqi discovered the highlights of the trenches, and then let the trenches unconsciously shine in front of herself, so the trenches that are not good at expressing themselves are in a state of letting go in front of her.

A few days later, Ji Ya stepped on the big sword and returned, she had already practiced the sword flying, which really amazed the people around her. At the same time, Ziyun introduced Mo Whisper and Dugu Sisi to her. Unlike Ziyun, Ji Ya was not happy to meet Shi Bomo and whispered. On the contrary, for the silent whisper, Ji Ya still has a faint sense of alienation.

As Lin Yue's senior sister, Ji Ya learned part of the story of Mo Whispering from her master Lin Yue and her teacher Qi Diaoling, although she didn't know why she parted ways with her master, but it was undeniable that she had a very high status in her master's heart.

Mo whispered naturally that she was aware of Ji Ya's estrangement, but she didn't care much, and now only Dugu Sisi was by her side. If you can't mention the previous relationship, don't mention it.

In the following days, Dugu Sisi guided Ziyun's fast sword, and Mo whispered to guide the chain knife of Trench Le, as for Ji Ya's side, her skills have matured and she doesn't need additional teaching, but Mo Qingyu and she are both practicing fire spirit immortal arts, and Mo Qingyu can give some advice in this regard.

……

Compared with the temporary peaceful life of Huadu, the current capital seems a little chaotic, since Lin Yue raised the butcher's knife in the capital, the more powerful families have basically been swept away, and the strength of the military has also been collected by the Taishi Demon Cloud Sea. Above the court, the eunuch party is almost dominant.

And since the last time, Lin Yue directly stabbed Xiangguo to death, and coerced the king to correct himself and his subordinates. It really scared the king enough, and his health has deteriorated since then. Among the princes who are old enough, the eldest prince Ji Wei doesn't know what strange disease he has, from eating, drinking and having fun in the past to being crooked now. The third and fourth princes were undoubtedly two excellent heirs, but they both died in the chaos in the capital. The fifth prince died early, and the rest were either too young or incompetent. At present, the most promising is the second prince Himeo.

After the end of the Shu War, the forces of the Marquis of Shu and the Suzaku Dynasty of the southern alien race fought, the capital temporarily lifted the party ban on everyone's own danger, a large number of officials were dismissed, and some young Zhuang factions took office, among these people there are many brains, ideals, and insightful celebrities, and these people are from a school called Songming Academy, also known as the children of Songjuku. On the big stage of the capital, they slowly showed their demeanor.

The king himself is relatively mediocre, and now he is frightened again, it can be said that no one is optimistic about the government and the opposition for a long time, it is estimated that he died that day, and everyone's reaction is just an 'oh' word.

And now because there is no one to check and balance, the eunuch Matt's eunuch family is dominant, and it can be said that it is rampant in the government and the opposition. Some of the young Zhuang Songjuku disciples who wanted to change also began to look for their own candidates. Although the second prince Ji Xiong's talent is mediocre and not enough to make great things, he is the most suitable prince at present, whether it is age or order.

And although he is thin, but his heart is high, he always wants to make a feat, and the children of the young Zhuang faction also take a fancy to this, it doesn't matter if there is no talent, there are talents in the children of the songshu, and the second prince can be a good banner.

As a result, another force arose in the capital, the Song Party, or the Second Prince Party, which had begun to gradually oppose the Eunuch Party.

For the rise of the Song Party, the king naturally knows, but on the one hand, his body is really not good, and he doesn't want to bother more about the government, no matter how the second child is also his own son, can he make a big scene? Therefore, with the acquiescence of the king and the silence of Matt, the strength of the Song Party has developed by leaps and bounds, and the Eunuch Party only occasionally knocks on the corners, and it is impossible to clean it all up at once.

Mingyue Tower is a gathering place for the children of Songjuku, where they will talk about the government and politics, and it is difficult for ordinary outsiders to enter.

A dozen or so young people sat on straw mats, and there were several tables in front of them, all of which looked very casual, drinking a glass from time to time.

Someone said: "If you are tired today, those who are reluctant to do things will be in power, and the four sides will be in chaos, and it is not suitable for large-scale reform." ”

Someone else said: "It is precisely because of the chaos in the world, time does not wait for me, there is no time to step by step, in the past, Lin Junhou slaughtered the capital, although brutal, but also removed a lot of tumors, and now the reform should be good without resistance." ”

A handsome young man listened silently there, and when someone saw this, he asked: "Brother Lu Xian, you have the most proposals for the new book of Yuanli, what do you think of the current situation?"

This young man's name is Lu Zhixing, and he is also a petty official, and he is not even qualified to listen to politics in the court. At the beginning, in order to save the Great Zhou Dynasty and re-establish the court, the children of Songshu naturally couldn't do it with their heads down, if they didn't even have a plan and program, it wouldn't be long before the Songshu Party would fall into the party struggle with the eunuchs, and slowly become the bureaucratic organization that these hot-blooded young people hated the most.

Several people, including Lu Zhixing, compiled a set of plans, which are also the governing principles of the children of Songjuku, this plan is known as the "New Book of the Yuan Calendar", don't look at Lu Zhixing's youth, but he is one of the editors-in-chief of this book, and his opinions are very important to the entire Song Party.

The New Book of the Yuan Calendar contains many contents, such as slavery, which prohibits the continued sale and production of new slaves and maidservants. For example, to promote the status of merchants and craftsmen. For example, the relevant prohibitions on opening border people and foreign races, such as changing the field system, military system, and currency system. And the imperial court controlled prices, prevented merchants from manipulating the market, and so on......

But everyone knows that some content is not suitable for being released now, and it must be opened up slowly, even so, there are still differences among the loose party, and some people advocate the focus of the troubled times, taking advantage of the power vacuum after Lin Yue's massacre of the capital to carry out reforms. Some advocated gradual progress, such as controlling prices by the imperial court first, and slightly improving the status of some merchants. Some prohibitions can also be appropriately opened for interracial races. This is also done slowly without touching the limits of the old forces.

In the eyes of both sides, the twilight empire needs to be reformed, and the only difference is whether it will be completed in thirty years or in three generations.

Having said that, when asked for his opinion, Lu Zhixing sighed and said: "I myself support cutting the mess quickly, but now is really not a good opportunity." This is equivalent to not saying this, and people on both sides are a little disappointed.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Zhixing said: "How to choose is still a matter for later, but the top priority is another matter, we should have our own strength." ”

Someone was puzzled: "What does Brother Lu Xian mean." ”

Lu Zhixing said: "What did Lin Junhou rely on to be able to massacre the capital?"

At this point, everyone was silent, and everyone knew that the reason why Lin Yue dared to do this was because he had an army of 100,000 people who completely obeyed the order. Although the current Song Party has a good momentum, it has no strength at all, and who will really care about a group of hairy boys?

But touching the military power is not a trivial matter, maybe it will move the bottom line above, there are many people who are Yunwen and Yunwu among the children of Songjuku, but there is no shortage of talents. is also as Lu Zhixing worried, whether it is the Quick Knife Sect or the Order-Based Sect, it is useless for us to fight for a red face here, and no matter how good the plan is, it is in vain.

The entire Mingyue Building fell silent, and Lu Zhixing understood that this topic was still a bit taboo for them, but these people listened to it. As the power of the Song Party gradually gained a foothold, they also had more and more say in the court, perhaps they would deliberately avoid the issue of military power before, but now the reality makes them have to face it.

After the banquet, Lu Zhixing returned to his residence, although he was already an official, he still only lived in a small courtyard in Xicheng. As soon as he got home, he saw an old servant cleaning in the yard, and the surprising thing was that the old servant did not salute like an ordinary master servant, and Lu Zhixing didn't say anything to him. It's as if they didn't exist for each other.

Back in his room, facing the handsome face in the bronze mirror, Lu Zhixing slowly changed his appearance, the boy turned into a girl, and it was Xue Luxing, a disciple of the third generation of Yushan. Since the Xishu War, she has been hidden in the capital, assisting the rise of the Song Party step by step, just like her master Guangyi turned into Zhuge Baixiao to assist Leng Yue Qingyun to grow and worship the Holy Maiden Sect.

Xue Luxing remembered the impassioned young men in Mingyue Tower just now, and couldn't help but sigh: "They are all good people, it's a pity." ”
