Chapter 37: Chaos will be chaotic
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, with the help of Luo Xian'er, Liu Wen began to study the classics sent by Yang Lin.
With the explanation of his wife, many things that Liu Wen couldn't understand before can be understood at one point, which makes Liu Wen sigh:
"This is really a false scripture with thousands of volumes, and the true biography is only one word! The kung fu recorded in these classics is much stronger than their Luo family gun. β
"Luo's gun?" Luo Xian'er chuckled: "Luo's gun, Jiang's family heirloom, that is Jiang Wei's descendant, integrating the stunts handed down by Zhao Yun and Ma Chao's marksmanship." In the past, when Luo Yina was in the Northern Qi Dynasty, he also played the method of passing on peerless knowledge to each other. β
Luo Yi used a little trick to deceive other people's unique skills. The real Luo family gun, as well as the method of strength handling, he didn't show it at all. Otherwise, do you really think that Luo Yi's talent is so good, relying on the martial arts passed on by a few masters when he was young, he realized the Luo family's gun mastery, and subdued the backer king? β
Hearing Luo Xian'er's words, everything was towards him, and Liu Wen didn't mention how comfortable he was.
At the same time, I thought: According to the storytelling story I heard before, Yuwen Chengdu and Li Yuanba are both apprentices of Ziyang Zhenren, according to this, their ability to burst out with powerful divine power is also related to this kind of strength carrying method? Well, at that time, it sounded a bit like qigong, and it was a bit like internal force, which was a bit close to this method of cultivating immortals and practicing qi......
Liu Wen inquired curiously: "Kiss my wife, have you heard of Ziyang Zhenren?" β
"What's wrong?"
"It is said that he seems to be the master of Yuwen Chengdu."
"It turned out to be him!" Luo Xian'er was so angry that she almost crushed her silver teeth, "I said why did Da Sui suddenly appear so many fierce generals, and repeatedly spoiled my good deeds!" It turns out that this old guy is a ghost, so I'm going to look for him! With that, he got up.
She is an evil demon girl, and she has always acted without scruples, and now she has increased her skills, and she can't wait to turn the world upside down.
"Wait, wait. Phew, huh~~~" Liu Wen hurriedly grabbed her, "Don't worry, I'm also hearsay." β
"Who are you calling for?" Luo Xian'er pinched Liu Wen's nose, "Do you think I am a horse?" β
Of course, Rouge Horse! Liu Wenxin said.
He didn't dare to say this, so he smiled: "Didn't I want to make a joke with you and ease the atmosphere?" "Because I was pinched my nose, my voice hummed.
Luo Xian'er sneered at being amused, and she was not in a hurry to go out, but she still said hatefully: "There is no wind and no waves." When you mentioned this, I also remembered a few pieces of news about Ziyang Zhenren, and this matter must have something to do with him! β
"You haven't said it yet? Who the hell is he? β
"I don't know his heels, anyway, it's a bit of a Taoist cultivator, although his own skills are not very good, and he doesn't even touch the word 'immortal', but his disciples' skills are first-class."
Liu Wen thought of Cheng Yanjin again and asked, "Then is there an immortal who can use spells like a dream, and then teach people to practice martial arts in a dream?" β
"Teaching people to practice martial arts in your dreams?" Luo Xian'er frowned slightly, "Heavenly immortals can't do it, right...... Unless you use ecstasy to charm people and make them think that they are in a dream. I haven't learned this either...... How? Ziyang Zhenren will use this kind of spell? β
"I don't know, it's such a legend anyway."
Liu Wen took away Luo Xian'er's soft and pinched his nose. Tender little hand, but still holding on, persuaded: "Kiss my wife, you are looking for him urgently, and I don't know where he is." Anyway, he still thinks that he hasn't been exposed, let's make a plan, what do you think? β
"Well, for your sake, spare his life for the time being."
Luo Xian'er's confidence has increased greatly, although she herself admits that there is a huge gap with the Yellow Horn Old Immortal, but in this world, there are only a few things that can convince her.
Liu Wen has also seen her skills.
According to Liu Wen's understanding, Luo Xian'er is equivalent to the demonic and martial arts double cultivation that later generations said.
In terms of martial arts, the pure brute force is about 5,700 catties, and with the technique of carrying strength, it can have more than 10,000 catties of explosive power.
The spells are strong, the body method, illusion, control of magical energy, etc., all kinds of means emerge in an endless stream, in Liu Wen's opinion, it is almost impossible to call the wind and rain.
With Luo Xian'er's current strength, breaking into the palace is as easy as taking a walk.
But the people of this era thought that the monks would damage the yin virtue by using spells to harm ordinary people, and using spells to harm the monarch was even more a thing that went against the sky.
In the place close to the emperor, there are several nameless scattered immortals who resemble the old immortals of the yellow horn who are waiting for the rabbit.
What they are waiting for is that there is a monk who does not know the severity of the murder of the monarch, and then come forward to stop it, say something high-sounding, listen, they feel that they have merit, if they don't listen, they will be happier to brush up the experience pack.
When Luo Xian'er wanted to take revenge, she encountered a similar situation, she knew the power of those nameless scattered immortals, so even if she increased her strength, she didn't dare to break into the palace recklessly.
Because of this situation, she was so aggrieved in her heart, and now that she heard that Ziyang Zhenren was also making trouble for herself, she naturally gritted her teeth and wanted to kill this old boy.
Liu Wenming confessed, if he didn't know where Ziyang Zhenren was, he wouldn't be able to persuade him at all.
β¦β¦
After nearly half a month, under the guidance of Luo Xian'er, Liu Wen finally sorted out a set of cultivation methods suitable for him.
Luo Xian'er also caused an accident, and then used a little means to let Yang Lin see her martial arts, and excitedly accepted her as the second righteous daughter.
According to Luo Xian'er, since she is Liu Wen's eldest wife, there is no reason to be a concubine. She is going to get the identity of Mrs. Liu Wenzheng through Yang Lin, and then let the other two concubines be.
Liu Wen could only smile bitterly after hearing this.
But I also understand that women in this era attach great importance to the status of their wives, because once they are concubines, they will be subject to their wives in terms of etiquette and law, and they will never have the opportunity to be corrected.
β¦β¦
October 26.
Yang Liang, the king of Han, led his troops back.
This time it was not a victory, the army he led was infected with the plague when he was crusading against Goryeo, and less than half of the 300,000 troops came back alive.
However, Gao Yuan, the lord of Goryeo, also saw the strong war potential of the Great Sui, and took advantage of the opportunity of Yang Liang's withdrawal of troops, and hurriedly wrote to Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian to admit his mistake and call him a tribute.
Yang Jian borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and forgave his sins, and the war ended in the face of heavy losses in the Great Sui.
β¦β¦
But the death of more than 240,000 strong men was also a huge blow to the national strength of the Great Sui.
To do this, Yang Jian needs to find new sources of income.
First of all, he thought of the unified currency, because of the melee between the North and the South, not to mention the unification of the currency, there were still local heroes who minted private money.
Yang Jian sent several sons to various places, and while recovering the old money, he opened the furnace to refine new money, issued new coins, and clarified the law.
As long as a group of powerful people who mint private money are killed, the treasury will definitely be filled with a lot.
Secondly, Yang Jian thought of salt.
In all dynasties, most of the salt was monopolized by the imperial court. Sell, but anyone who sells illicit salt will chop his toes and fingers if the amount is small, and his head will be killed if he is large.
The Sui Dynasty was devastated by the war between the North and the South, so Yang Jian liberalized the policy, stipulating that as long as he bought a license, he could legally sell illicit salt.
However, there are policies and countermeasures, and once the opening is opened, it will be difficult to close it again.
Soon, local officials and businessmen colluded to replace official salt with unlicensed private salt, and then raised the price of salt, so that the profits flowed into the pockets of corrupt officials and salt merchants, causing great losses to the imperial court.
On the other hand, salt is the second food of the human body, and if you don't eat it, you will have no strength and can't work.
The people had no choice but to tighten their belts to buy high-priced salt, but this situation has greatly increased the cost of living for the people, and many people are almost unable to survive.
In this case, there are signs of revolt among the people in many areas.
If it was in previous years, the imperial court could still send a large army to suppress it, but this time, the imperial court's crusade against Goryeo was unsuccessful, and the loss of soldiers and horses was more than the consumption of the war in recent decades.
In addition, the initial decision of the Southern Dynasty still needs hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to guard in the south.
If you want to suppress the peasant uprising, you will be powerless.
Under these circumstances, Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian, in addition to sending a messenger to investigate and secretly investigate the sale of illicit salt, also sent some generals to garrison troops in places where there were signs of rebellion.
β¦β¦
For this reason, Liu Wen was officially appointed as the general of Huwei and the envoy of Jibei Jiedu, and while stationing in Jibei County, he monitored Tang Bi, the protΓ©gΓ© of Luo Yi, the king of Beiping, and the envoy of Jinan Prefecture.
This General Huwei is the same as the Tianbao General of Yuwen Chengdu, and belongs to the general of the three miscellaneous numbers.
Liu Wen's official rank has not changed, but because of the non-grade official envoy of this festival, he has gained a lot of real power in the local area.
Jinan Mansion is in Qi County, which was temporarily set up for Tang Bi, and the reason why it is not called Qizhou Mansion is very simple: this is a temporary mansion, and the establishment can be canceled at any time, and he will be driven away by Luo Yi's apprentice.
Qi County and Jibei County are next to each other, which is convenient for Liu Wen to visit relatives.
Liu Wen has already made up his mind, and if he has the opportunity, he must talk to his aunt about Luo Cheng. That's his own aunt, can he still face Luo Cheng, a person who is not related by blood?
