Chapter 415: A Visitor (4)
Jiang Yun didn't get a definite answer from Li Xingxuan, but it could be seen that she did take a lot of trouble and talked about a lot of things that he had never heard of. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info is better than Fang Yu no matter what, if the old guy is asked to answer, he will send Jiang Yun away with the sentence "Heaven must not be revealed".
After chatting casually for a while, after Jiang Yun's promise to buy was stopped, Li Xingxuan got up and said goodbye. It's rare to come to Da Zhou once, talking to Jiang Yun is certainly one of the purposes of this trip, but more importantly, she has to go to Beijing to see Fang Yaqing, the two haven't seen each other for a long time, and she misses her daughter very much.
As for Fang Yu, he was cheeky and planned to go to Beijing with her. The old Taoist priest said that he came by the way, but Jiang Yun could see that this guy may have come from stargazing on the other party's itinerary and came specially to come. Men are like this, Jiang Yun has seen many examples before crossing, they are all high-spirited when they are young, they want to achieve, they are responsible, they despise feelings, and even do the thing of abandoning their wives and children, and it will be more than ten years as soon as they disappear. When he was old, he regretted his mistakes, and brazenly went home to beg his wife and children for forgiveness, in a vain attempt to reunite the family.
Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and Jiang Yun is too lazy to mix in the grievances and grievances between the two, and as the New Year is approaching, he encounters a problem.
Jihetang has been keeping a close eye on the dynamics of the capital through its industries, and according to the latest news, the situation in the imperial court seems to be becoming more and more chaotic.
First of all, Ji Chong, who is the emperor, originally went to the imperial study once a week to review the notebook was canceled, and Ji Qiyun was at the discretion of Ji Qiyun in matters of the court, no matter how big or small. In addition, his love for Liu Ruyan has reached its peak, and he directly canonized him as the imperial concubine by a holy decree, completely treating the Qianliu Hall as his home, almost to the point of staying at home.
Liu Fengzi was named the Heavenly Master of the Protector because of his alchemy. This is a temporary honorific title set by Ji Chong.,No rights.,But enjoy all the honor.γ You can take a car into the palace, see the king and do not worship, and the officials below the first grade have to salute when they see it, otherwise they will be punished for the crime of disrespect.
As for Zhou Ang, the reward is even more exaggerated. Ji Chong found a reason to belittle the imperial historian and promoted him, and now the imperial historical platform is completely surnamed Zhou. And Dali Siqing has long been Ji Qiyun's person, and after completely controlling the Yushitai, Zhou Ang stretched out his hand to the six yamen for the first time, and the first one to open the knife was the criminal department. Once the Three Law Divisions are completely in the palm of his hand, there is no one in the capital who can compete with him.
Judging from the current situation, the situation of the criminal department Shangshu is extremely unfavorable, and it is afraid that it will fall sooner or later.
After receiving the news, Jiang Yun fell into confusion for a long time. He thinks he's good at speculating on people's hearts, but he really can't understand the heart of a king. Ji Zhong canceled the review of the notebook, it is impossible that it was done on purpose, he has been the emperor for too long, and it has become an instinct to control the country, even if he gives too much power to the next king, he will never be at ease and ignore it. There is only one explanation for doing this, Ji Chong's physical condition has changed, and the consequences of Jin Dan's overdraft of essence have appeared.
In other words, the current imperial court is a critical period for the transfer of power, and the old emperor should try to keep the situation as stable as possible. But for no reason, he went the other way, and the current court is destined to not be able to live a peaceful year.
Jiang Yun has a strong sense of control, and once something happens that he can't understand, he will have trouble sleeping. After finding Ji Feng and discussing for a long time, he still found nothing, and in desperation, Jiang Yun had no choice but to send out a golden-eyed peregrine falcon through Ling Bing and go straight to Yizhou. In just three days, Lu Xun's handwritten letter was placed on Jiang Yun's desktop.
A note, just four sentences and sixteen words, is Lu Xun's answer.
"Bear your own notoriety, raise tigers for trouble, leave credit for the future, and the world will be peaceful."
After reading it three times in a row, Jiang Yun suddenly became stunned. Although Lu Xun does not have the name of a king, she already has the heart of a king, and she has only a few sides with Ji Chong, but she probably knows more about it than anyone in the world.
The reason couldn't be simpler, Ji Chong just wanted to toss the entire court out of a storm, and the notoriety of cronyism would be borne by him, but it didn't matter, it wouldn't be long before he would leave and throw the ruined court and lawless courtiers to Ji Qiyun. As long as the latter can quickly purge the court and severely punish the evil officials after ascending the throne, the lives of Zhou Ang and others can be forged into their names as martial saints and sages, and the hundreds of officials in the court will unite and support the new monarch like never before.
With good intentions, the old emperor has been laying out this move for too long, and perhaps from the first time he saw Liu Ruyan, he had already begun to fall.
originally thought that the imperial court was already in chaos to the extreme, but according to Ji Chong's assumption, this moment is just the beginning, and it is difficult for the officials in the capital to avoid a bloody Spring Festival. In contrast, Jiangnan is much more peaceful. When the New Year comes, the territory under the control of King Wu is full of joy, and the people are happily sitting in various preparations for the New Year. Buying New Year's goods, buying new clothes, visiting relatives and friends, all are busy.
And Jiang Yun's expected change really came, three huge building ships suddenly landed in Ningbo Mansion, more than 800 wolf-like robbers ransacked four coastal villages, kidnapped more than 300 young women, just as they were about to board the ship to return, they were surrounded by the long-prepared village warrior team. Although the combat effectiveness of the two sides is not at the same level, the victory of the township is due to the large number of people, and the right to take turns in battle should be an actual combat exercise, and eventually all the criminals will be annihilated in the future.
With such an incident, Ji Feng finally began to form a comprehensive team of village warriors in a grand manner, and scattered the 30,000 feudal troops into all sides of the village warriors to serve as officers, responsible for daily training and battle command. It won't be long before these villagers become a qualified army.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner, but judging from the current situation, the 30,000 girls who are going to buy for the temple guards are afraid that they will not be enough, and Jiang Yun has no choice but to match the quantity with the quality, and select more than 20,000 people from those women who want to be sent to the Qinglou to sell themselves.
Everything at hand was solved smoothly, Jiang Yun was full of relaxation, and he was fully prepared to have a good year with peace of mind, and then went back and prepared to deal with the troubles of the coming year. He is happy, not everyone is happy, at least not on the east side.
A square hut is decorated in the style of the East, with papier-mΓ’chΓ© sliding doors and rustic flowers and leaves. The low wooden table is simple, a pair of saucers are placed with four wooden cups, a long-spouted teapot, and a pair of futons, and the whole room is elegant and modest, without any sense of extravagance.
The half-bald man in his forties knelt at the table, his face was flat, he held the teacup in his hands and lowered his head very solemnly to take a sip, and even made a burst of sucking sounds. He didn't swallow the tea immediately, but savored it carefully, his eyes slightly closed, and he immersed himself in the tea ceremony.
"Bang... The paper door moved, and a beautiful girl in her twenties entered, her waist-length hair was wet, she was wearing a white gown, looking extremely casual and lazy, obviously just out of the bath. After entering the room, she closed the paper door again, turned back to the table, and knelt down facing the middle-aged man.
The girl put her hand into the back of her neck and gently stroked her long hair to her right shoulder, a casual but charming gesture. "If I'm not mistaken, it's time off."
The middle-aged man put the wooden cup on the table, smiled and said, "The latest task has come down, and the snake master personally explained it to you." β
"Yours came up with the idea again, right?" The girl sighed lightly and said, "Mr. Naota, do you really not want to see me idle?" β
When Naoda Sheng heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh. "It's really not my idea this time, I really can't help it. Recently, an espionage force has appeared in the Jiangnan region of the Great Zhou, called Dark Dragon Guard, which seems to be subordinate to the Great Zhou Emperor on the surface, but in fact it does not seem to have much to do with the imperial court. Nowadays, Jiangnan has strict ears and eyes, and this task can only be foolproof if it is handed over to you. Maggie, let's do it again. β
"Say it." Snake Miki yawned extremely lazily and said lightly.
"This mission is still an assassination, and the target is this person." Naoda Sheng took out a box of scrolls from his arms, and after opening it, there was a slight fluctuation in the air, and then there was a scene of Jiang Yun eating in a restaurant.
"Is that him?"
"You know this person?"
"I used to assassinate Hiroshi and Fumi, and I used to take pictures of each other." Orochi Miki smiled lightly. "Thanks to this man for a small favor. He should be a Great Zhou official, how did he offend the snake lord? β
"You don't need to ask, just carry out the task."
"Alright, I got it." A flash of coldness flashed in her eyes, and Orochi Miki added: "If you go again after the vacation, this person will die within two months." β
"That's very good." Naota nodded in satisfaction and got up to leave.
