When he arrived at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain, Zhao Qian was shocked by the majestic momentum of the mountain in front of him, "Is this the Five Elements Mountain Range?" With such a majestic momentum, I am afraid that it is difficult for the world to be unsurpassed. Xu Yuan carried him behind his back and glanced up at the mountain. You are a son who grew up trapped in Gyeonggi, since you have never seen the scene in this mountain forest, the mountains of the world, a mountain is higher than a mountain, I heard that there is a Mount Tai in Shandong, no one can show its momentum to the right. Seeing Xu Yuan walking in the steep mountain road with a familiar car, Zhao Qian was also scared for a while in his heart, "Brother Xu, you walk slowly, it's not good if you slip so fast, it's not good if you slip and fall, such a steep mountain, if we both explain it here, it will be in vain." ”

Xu Yuan felt Zhaoqian on his back tremble, and he slowed down, "Don't worry, I won't let you fall, if you're afraid, just close your eyes." Zhao Qian obediently closed his eyes, but his body still couldn't help trembling, Xu Yuan sighed and walked forward... When he arrived at the meeting place, he found that Meng Jia and Sister Ting had not yet arrived, Xu Yuan looked at Zhao Qian and asked, "Sister Ting has not arrived, are you worried?" Zhao Qian paced left and right for a few steps before slowly replying: "Ah Ting will never betray us, Meng Jia and the imperial court have no direct stake, no one will target them, if they haven't arrived now, I think there should be something on the way that delayed the trip." ”

Xu Yuan nodded, he has been practicing in the mountains for the past few years, and his foot strength is naturally better than that of Meng Jia and Sister Ting. The two of them sat down and lit a fire, and Xu Yuan said: "Look, such a good mountain and river, wouldn't it be wonderful if there was wine to drink?" Zhao Qian seemed to be melancholy: "I think my father was suave and suave, never burdened by foreign affairs, and loved to write poems to the moon, but now he was suspicious of the king, framed by the ministers, and died young, but unfortunately, such a good scene, such a good mountain and river land, there is no place for you and me to stand." ”

Xu Yuan asked, "Your Highness, what if the bright moon in the mountains is obscured by a floating cloud?" Zhao Qian said: "Keep the clouds open and see the moon." Xu Yuan smiled, Zhao Qian thought about it, and laughed, they all got the answers they wanted, Xu Yuan learned that Zhao Qian was not a reckless person, and was carried away by hatred; Zhao Qian learned that Xu Yuan was not a greedy person, and he had never forgotten the hatred of destroying the door. Xu Yuan bowed and said: "In this world, the cycle of cause and effect, retribution is not happy, it's not that it is not repaid, but the time has not come, if the time has come, I am willing to follow His Highness to create a peaceful and prosperous world, swing the world, serve the four yi, and all countries will come to the court." Zhao Qian helped him up and patted him lightly on the hand: "Qing has suffered all these years, I will definitely get it back for Qing, if it really succeeds one day, Qing wants to get it, nothing can be mentioned." ”

The two of them were talking and talking, but they fell asleep, and when they woke up again, it was already dark, and Zhao Qian asked, "Do we need to find a place to hide?" Wouldn't it be a problem if someone came over and recognized us? Xu Yuan shook his head: "There's no need for that, you see, there are no dwellings within a radius of ten miles around, and the mountains are steep and difficult to walk, and the land is barren, no one will notice here." Zhao Qian breathed a sigh of relief, and the two ate dry food and continued to wait. At noon, the figures of Meng Jia and Sister Ting appeared on the nearest mountain, and when the two came over, it was already half an hour later. I saw that the two of them were panting, and after calming down, Sister Ting hurriedly knelt down to Zhaoqian. "The slave is too late to save the car, please atone for the sins!" Zhao Qian smiled faintly and helped her up, this smile, anyone who saw it was like a spring breeze, and he couldn't tell that this was the young man with sharp eyes and bent on winning the world.

"How can I blame you, if you hadn't brought someone to save me, I would have either become a prisoner now, or a ghost under Liu Huizu's knife, although I have escaped alive, but after all, some things are not clear after being imprisoned for a long time, and we still need to support each other in the future, I still need you to tell me about it, I hope you don't shirk." Sister Ting hurriedly wanted to kneel down again, but was pulled up by Zhao Qian. "It is the honor of the slave and maid to share your worries for Your Highness, how can the slave and maid be able to use the same word with Your Highness." Seeing her say, tears appeared in her eyes, and Xu Yuan hurriedly reminded: "Don't be in a hurry to cry first, we don't know what the situation is outside now, so let's tell us first." ”

Sister Ting wiped away her tears and began to say, since the fire in the house that day, although some people in the clan were arrested, but there were still people who escaped, and found the current prime minister Mu Shuai to preside over justice, Mu Shuai wrote an excerpt, the emperor was shocked, and revoked Liu Hui's position as the secretary of the military department, and degraded Kunming. Here in Kunming, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and Liu Huizu has made too many enemies in the government and the opposition, so he can't run far. Xu Yuan asked, "What about the clan?" Sister Ting glanced at Zhaoqian before she said: "The emperor issued an edict for his own crimes, appeased the clan, rewarded money, and did not say anything about restoring the fief. ”

Zhao Qian sighed: "My imperial brother didn't feel that there was a problem at all, it meant that he meant, Liu Huizu was responsible for all the ugly things, no wonder their monarchs and ministers were so harmonious." Xu Yuan found something unusual, and he asked Zhaoqian, "You say, what is the effect of this fief for the clan?" Zhao Qian quickly replied: "Make laws, collect taxes, and appoint officials." Xu Yuan nodded, he took a branch and drew three circles on the ground.

"You see, these three circles represent the formulation of laws, the collection of taxes, and the appointment of officials, and these three powers have been held by the princes of the clan since ancient times, so why is it that the emperor of today wants to reduce them? So which part does he really want? Xu Yuan asked. Meng Jia thought for a moment and said, "The clan has private soldiers in their hands, and these are a threat to his throne. Zhao Qian replied: "The private soldiers among the princes shall not exceed two thousand, and the county kings shall not exceed one thousand, and the combat effectiveness of these soldiers shall be different according to the requirements of each prince. Meng Jia added: "That must be the appointment of officials, and some clans want to turn the country into their own China." Zhao Qian still shook his head, he said to Meng Jia: "Meng Qing, you still don't understand how unified the imperial power is today, some local officials are indeed appointed by the clan, but they are all petty officials, the real power is appointed by His Majesty himself, the second and third in command are also sent down by the officials, monitor the actions of the local clan, once you find that the plot is wrong, you can cut it first and then play, and it is actually not feasible for the country to be in China." ”

Zhao Qian's voice was immature, but there was an unchallengeable majesty when the words came out, Sister Ting looked at him, and her heart was also extremely excited, and she blurted out: "What if the clan acts mischiefly in the local area and formulates laws at will, causing the people to live in poverty, and someone impeaching causes the emperor to dislike?" Zhao Qian shook his head and sighed: "It is true that there is a matter of making laws in a disorderly manner, but after the local laws are formulated, they must be discussed with Taishou and others, and no one in the clan can be the master." Besides, your majesty can even mutilate your siblings today, where will you care about the people's livelihood? ”

The three of them glanced at each other, and they all thought that what he said made sense, Xu Yuan said: "Then there is only one possibility, the treasury is empty, money is needed, the emperor is not good-looking directly to the clan, and the whole world is not the king's land, he thinks that if he can give it to you, he can get it back." Therefore, there is today's scene. ”
