Origin Chapter 14 The Roots of the Ming Dynasty

This second floor is different from the first floor, as if knowing that the powerful like to go their own way, Xiangming specially opened a private room for them.

On the second floor, Yu Hao and Qiao Tiantian were led to a private room by the maid, and the guards at the door checked their invitations and let the two in.

This private room has no windows, but it is very spacious, the night pearl hanging on the wall illuminates the room, and the floor inside is different from the marble slab on the first floor, and the floor here is also made of golden silk nanmu, a rare wood in the southern barbarians.

On the precious floor are six low tables, each with a fine futon, of which there are five small tables and one larger low table, which is fanned out around the larger low table.

At this time, there were already four people sitting at the six-standing table, among which there was a woman in a gray Taoist robe sitting by the door, with a Taoist bun on her head like Yu Hao.

This woman's face is not rouge, so her skin is a little yellow, of course, her facial features are not as lovely as Qiao Tiantian, she can only say that she is not annoying, but she exudes a peaceful atmosphere.

Next to the woman in this robe, sat a young man with a saber in a strong suit, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, but his skin was very dark, and it looked rough from a distance.

Adjacent to the saber boy, there are two vacant seats next to him is a man wearing a white wide-sleeved scribe's suit, with a long sword tied to his waist, also about fifteen or sixteen years old, thick eyebrows, a pair of good-looking peach blossom eyes and Yu Hao's small eyes are in stark contrast.

And in front of the big low table sat an elegant girl wearing a plain white gauze skirt, the girl painted distant mountain eyebrows, a pair of almond eyes are extremely beautiful, and the sweet playfulness is different, the girl is a typical lady.

Seeing Qiao Tiantian and the two open the door, the elegant girl cocked her orchid fingers, put the green jade teacup in her hand on the table, and looked at the two: "Sister Qiao, you are here." ”

When her eyes fell on Yu Hao, she was a little puzzled, and asked, "Sister Qiao, who is this son." ”

Qiao Tiantian heard this elegant woman's question, and said with a big grin: "You said that this kid, he is my father's nephew, my brother can't come today if he has something to do, so my father asked him to come and see it, my sister won't mind." ”

When the elegant girl heard this, her eyebrows raised slightly, especially when she heard the word "master and nephew", a glimmer of light flashed in the eyes of the four people who were doing it, and the elegant girl smiled slightly: "The person who comes is a guest, feel free to sit." ”

Although the woman was very beautiful and elegant, she did not let Yu Hao lose his mind. Just because before coming here, Qiao Tiantian explained to him, the identity of this woman, so that he should not see the beautiful legs at that time, it will be difficult for him to do it, and he represents the face of the Qiao family at this banquet.

This woman's surname is Wen, her name is Feng, and she is the daughter of Wen Hong, the elder of Meishan Hongmei, and Wen Hong, like Qiao Feng, is one of the seven members of the Ming Cabinet, when Yu Hao heard this, he was secretly surprised by the high status of this woman, and at the same time, he also knew that Qiao Feng was actually a member of the cabinet.

The status of this cabinet in the Ming Dynasty can be said to be only under one person, and you can see where the door of the Zhang Mansion opens to explain everything.

There are seven people in the cabinet, a first minister, six elders, and seven people discuss the affairs of the world with the Holy King, and these seven people are all powerful Xuanjing monks, after all, mortals are still a little short of fighting them in the power war.

When the two heard Wen Feng invite them to sit down, Yu Hao and Qiao Tiantian sat at the two empty tables, while Tian Tian sat between Yu Hao and the white-clothed scribe.

In the process of the maid serving tea to Yu Hao and Qiao Tiantian, Wen Feng swallowed the tea in his mouth, felt the fragrance that rushed into his nose due to exhalation, and slowly spoke: "Everyone knows the origin of the little girl, right?" Although this was said to everyone, Wen Feng looked at Yu Hao.

Seeing Yu Hao nodding, Wen Feng began to introduce the people present one by one: "This is Daogu Danyun of Dengyun Peak, this is Lord Wu, the son of General Wu of Saibei, this is Liu Yun, the son of the City Lord of Suzhou City in Jiangnan, and this is Qiao Tiantian, the daughter of Elder Qiao of the Cabinet." ”

Wen Feng stopped here, causing everyone in the room to look at Yu Hao, Yu Hao understood that Wen Feng didn't know his identity and said, "My name is Yu Hao, and I am Elder Qiao's nephew." ”

Dan Ming, who was wearing a Taoist robe, looked at Yu Hao wearing a Taoist priest's hair in a bun as soon as he entered the door, and was very curious in his heart, and asked, "Lingshi is also a member of the Taoist Sect?"

Yu Hao opened his mouth when he heard this: "I think the female Taoist may have misunderstood, although I am wearing a Taoist bun, it is a habit that I have retained for a long time with a Taoist priest in my childhood. ”

Dan Ming smiled and nodded, took the tea handed over by the maid, she didn't ask Yu Hao again, everyone sitting there were smart people, Yu Hao didn't take the initiative to say, no matter what the reason, it would be inappropriate to ask.

Yu Hao didn't want to say it, but Qiao Feng told him when he first met Yu Hao: "Wine can be sold, because there are only a few people who know that Zhao Li will get drunk with peach blossoms, but it's best not to say in front of outsiders that you are Zhao Li's apprentice, some things are not as simple as you think, in the future, you will be in the name of my nephew, it will be enough for you to eat and drink spicy food in Chang'an City." ”

Seeing that everyone's important identities are roughly explained, Wen Feng, the host of the treat, naturally wants to come out to speak first, and said: "Even if everyone knows each other, please forgive me if the little girl has any inconsiderate hospitality, please come today, mainly to exchange the assessment of tomorrow's economic pavilion and the cliff, and I hope you don't spread the next words, which is also a secret that only the direct members of the cabinet family know." ”

Speaking of this, Wen Feng looked at Qiao Tiantian and said, "Sister Qiao, if I have any shortcomings, please add one or two to my sister." ”

It seemed that he was a little nostalgic for the taste of tea just now, Wen Feng took another sip of tea, and then said: "This assessment is actually the assessment of the three major forces, the outside world only knows that the Jing Pavilion and the Cliff recruit people externally, that is because the Cliff and the Jing Pavilion not only accept psychics but also accept mortals, but Meishan also recruits people from the outside, as for how to accept people, I am inconvenient to say the oath, please understand." ”

Wen Feng paused slightly, and then said, "What do you think when you hear this?"

The first to be unable to hold back was naturally the son of General Wu, Lord Wu, who only came back from Saibei a month ago, and had experienced the edification of the battlefield, and his temperament was anxious.

The battle on the battlefield did not affect the development of his brain at all, and Lord Wu asked the most critical question sharply: "Miss Wen, I am a soldier, I don't understand the calculations of you court people, if it is a secret that only the direct children of the cabinet know, why does Miss tell me." ”

Wen Feng heard this and looked at Lord Wu, and re-weighed the weight of this person in her heart, in her concept, Lord Wu can be born as a soldier, but now Lord Wu can ask this sentence shows that he is a bold and careful person, you must know that the person who holds the knife is not terrible, the terrible thing is that the person who holds the knife has a brain.

Wen Feng stroked his hair slightly, and said with a smile: "Wu Gongzi, although you were born in the military, you don't want to be thick and fine, then I might as well tell you that this cabinet is divided into two factions, one is headed by the Zhang Pavilion Master, and the other is headed by my Wen family, I have secretly investigated, the three of you are all spiritual beings, and Yu Gongzi can become Uncle Qiao's nephew must be the same." ”

Speaking of this, Wen Feng paused slightly, and said solemnly: "I want to win you over in advance, no matter whether you enter the court as an official in the future or not, a psychic is very useful no matter which force you are in." ”

At this time, Liu Yun, a white-clothed scribe, spoke: "Miss Qiao, what are the benefits of our people joining your forces, and how does Miss Qiao know that we have spiritual consciousness. ”

Wen Feng looked at the white-clothed young man and said: "Liu Gongzi, worthy of being the son of the city lord of Suzhou City, the questions asked are so realistic, think about it, you can also see that the cliff, the Jingge, and Meishan are cultivating talents for the Ming Dynasty, but you may not know that twenty years ago, that is, before the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there was only one force in the cliff, which was divided into the cliff scholar faction, the cliff smart faction, and the cliff warrior faction. ”

Speaking of this, Wen Feng paused, looked at the other four people except Qiao Tiantian who was drowsy, listened very seriously, nodded with satisfaction and continued: "The Holy King was originally a cliff warrior, and the world was determined, and the Xiao Dynasty Dynasty all had cliffs, and he knew that the cliffs were terrifying, and he didn't know what the secrets were, even if the Saint King cultivated to the sky, he did not seal the cliffs, maybe he knew that the cliffs were the powerful root of the Ming Dynasty, so in order to check and balance, the cliff forces were dispersed, and then there was a study building into a scripture pavilion, and Meishan was smart. ”

There may be some thirst Wen Feng picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and said: "The Holy King knows that the cliff is the root, how our courtiers don't know, so they develop party henchmen in the three major forces, although it is a school system, but it is still mixed with the battle of the court, that is to say, if you want to develop better in the three major forces, it is indispensable to join the party." ”

After saying that, Wen Feng summoned the maid and whispered a few words to her, and the maid took out something wrapped in silk from outside the door and came in.

Wen Feng took the silk away, and a square cyan stone brick appeared in front of everyone.

Wen Feng looked at everyone with a stone brick in his hand and said, "As for Liu Gongzi's second question, everyone looks at the difference between this stone." ”

Liu Yun, a white-clothed scribe, took a closer look at the stone and said, "There is a faint golden light in it. ”

Yu Hao looked at the cyan stone bricks, and sighed with some emotion, he was very familiar with the style of this thing, except for the different colors, this thing was not the same as the stone plaque hanging on his waist?

At this time, which Gu Danming spoke: "I have seen this thing in a family classic, called the inspiration stone, at first people still regarded this stone as a treasure, only to find out later that this thing can only test whether people have spiritual sense, and it is rumored that those who can see the golden light or the person who drops blood will be able to enlighten the spirit." ”

Speaking of this, only Qiao Tiantian, who was lying on the table and had fallen asleep, did not react, everyone shuddered, and sighed that the cabinet power is really hand-eyed, you must know that they have almost just arrived in Chang'an, and they have never seen the spirit stone, so how did Wen Feng know that they have spiritual sense.

Seeing everyone's frightened looks, Wen Feng smiled, but this smile seemed to be with a knife, and with this graceful face, it was indescribably weird.

When Yu Hao heard this, in addition to being frightened, he also had an idea, he wanted to try to drip some blood on a piece of earthy yellow stone plaque that day, and continue to verify the slightest luck in his heart, which can be regarded as the last trace of stubbornness left for many years of expectations.

Wen Feng cocked his habitual orchid fingers, gently wrapped the cyan stone bricks with satin, and said: "Actually, there are still a lot of spiritual enlightened people, but why I chose all the heroes to come to the party, it is also because of the power behind you and your future value." ”

At this time, Wen Feng glanced at everyone slightly, suddenly looked at Dao Gu, and said: "Dan Ming, Dengyun Peak, Ascension Immortal Guan, the thirty-seventh generation of descendants, Master Dao name Tian Xuanzi, because he was injured in the early years of fighting the world with the Holy King, he sat down last year, and left his whole life to cultivate into a Xuandan in your body, this Dan has melted into your blood and bones, and it is not available to others." ”

Dan Ming's face suddenly changed: "How do you know about Xuandan?"

Wen Feng ignored Dan Ming, turned his head to look at the saber boy and said: "Lord Wu, born with Beisai, his father is Wu Sangui, the general of Zhenbei, who practiced marksmanship before the age of ten, and then went hunting and strayed into the Sword Saint Cave Mansion a thousand years ago, and got his sword inheritance, I still don't know." ”

Lord Wu was a little puzzled and said: "I have entered a cave mansion, since when I sleep at night, I will see someone dancing the knife in a dream, and the knife becomes easy, could it be that I really got the inheritance of the knife path?"

Also ignoring Lord Wu, Wen Feng looked at Liu Yun, a white-clothed scribe, but Liu Yun spoke first: "Miss Wen, I don't have anything special, that is, I don't have a teacher, and I don't have a heritage, even Su Cheng is the first time to come out, and the little Su Cheng doesn't have much help for Miss, why does Miss take a fancy to me." ”

Wen Feng looked at Liu Yun and said, "Liu Gongzi really thinks so?"
