Because he hadn't seen Tian Hui, the Eight Sages for a month, Xiao Mo was stunned for a moment before he remembered Tian Ba's true identity. 【Reading.com】

Since the farewell month ago, the Eight Sages King has never seen Xiao Mo again, why did he suddenly send someone here tonight? Did something happen?

Xiao Mo was puzzled in his heart, nodded to Chu Da and said, "Please let him in."

Just as Xiao Mo was secretly puzzled and guessed in his heart, it didn't take long for a man in a green shirt and a small hat to come to Xiao Mo under the leadership of Chu Da.

After the man stood still in front of Xiao Mo, he first bowed, and then said, "The villain is Wang Zhen, the steward of the Eighth Master's Mansion, and he has seen everyone Xiao. Xiao Mo nodded and asked, "What is the matter with the Eighth Master sending you to me?" Wang Zhen replied respectfully: "By the order of the Eighth Master, please go to the Eighth Master's Mansion to talk." "Tian Hachifushang? Eight Princes' Mansion?

Why did the Eight Wise Kings call himself his mansion, did he want to reveal his true identity to himself? Why?

Xiao Mo became more and more puzzled in his heart, and asked again: "Do you know what the eighth master is looking for me?" "The villain doesn't know." Wang Zhen lowered his head and replied Xiao Mo pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you, you lead the way." With that, Xiao Mo left Chu Da, Cao Fei, and Zhang Zongmao in the Champion Building, and left with Deng Shangquan with Wang Zhen alone.

Downstairs in the champion, there was already a carriage waiting for a long time.

Sitting in the carriage, Xiao Mo kept guessing the purpose of the Eight Sages King suddenly looking for him, but he had no clue.

After about a stick of incense, the carriage finally stopped, as Wang Zhen opened the curtain on the carriage, Xiao Mo looked out, imprinted in his eyes, but it was a very wide, decorated quite luxurious mansion, above the gate, hung a long gold plaque, on the plaque, written "Xian Wang's Mansion" three golden characters.

It's the Eight Kings' Mansion!!

is very dancing, the Eight Sages Wang Tian Zheng is going to show Xiao Mo his identity, but what the purpose is, Xiao Mo still has no clue.

Leaving Bi Shangquan to wait outside the Xianwang Mansion, Xiao Mo followed Wang Zhen into the Xianwang Mansion, but found that the interior of the Xianwang Mansion was quite simple, at least extremely incommensurate with the status of the Eight Xian Kings, and it was completely different from the luxurious appearance outside the mansion.

About a tea time later, Wang Zhen took Xiao Mo to a study in the Xianwang Mansion, after serving a cup of fragrant tea, and then bowed down and retired to work This study is quite large, much larger than the living room of the general mansion, and there are countless books in it, Xiao Mo is now also a book lover, after seeing that the Eight Sages King has not yet appeared, he casually browsed in the study, and after seeing many lonely ancient books, he took them out and looked at them, but saw that someone had already written down his reading notes, looking at his handwriting, All of them have been in the past twenty years, and it is obvious that this study with countless books is not an ornament for the Eight Sages King, and there are many books in it. "It seems that this Eight Sages King Tian Zheng's knowledge is not necessarily under the Guangxiao Emperor Tian Hui!" Looking around at this study with countless nose books, Xiao Mo thought secretly.

At this moment, the voice of the Eight Sages Wang Tian Zheng sounded. "Zirou, you're here. I was dealing with some business just now, so don't be surprised that you have to wait so long. When the Eight Sages King entered the study, there was no sound, Xiao Mo didn't notice it, and after turning around in astonishment, he saw the Eight Sages King Tian Zheng standing quietly in front of the door at the moment, looking at him with a smile, for some reason, his expression was quite tired, but the grace and majesty on his body was not reduced at all.

At this moment, the Eight Sage Kings have moved towards themselves to reveal their identities, and they can get along with each other as freely as in the past, so after seeing the Eight Sages King appear, Xiao Mo has to kneel down and salute! But he was stopped by the Eight Sages King with his hand, and said slowly: (, Have you forgotten?) The two of us are old friends, and when we get along in private, you just treat me as Tian Hachi, and you don't need to be polite. ”

Xiao Mo saw that the Eight Sage King's tone was sincere, so he also nodded with a smile, and said: "The younger generation didn't expect that the Eighth Master you turned out to be the Eight Sage King who is rumored in the world. ”

Hearing Xiao Mo's words, the Eight Sages King looked at Xiao Mo with a smile and said, "Did you really know my identity today?" Xiao Mo looked up in amazement, but saw the Eight Sages King continue: "If you don't know the identity of me and the imperial brother, then why are you so serious when you mention the invasion of the Di clan, trying to make me believe and attach importance to this matter?" You know, at that time, you didn't even know where we came from, this kind of disturbing words to the people, with Zirou's caution, would you really say it at will? After hearing the words of the Eight Sages King, Xiao Mo couldn't help but be embarrassed, but he didn't expect that he had revealed a flaw here, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

The Eight Sages King didn't care, and after leading Xiao Mo to sit down, he said slowly: (, Actually, I also know that if it weren't for us and Zirou and willing to listen to Zirou's explanation, otherwise no one would believe the invasion of the Qiu Clan.) In this way, if Zirou's prophecy is not accurate, it is a heavenly sin that disturbs the hearts of the people, and if the prophecy comes true, it seems that the ministers are useless, and it is a thankless thing to increase the envy of the ministers. You told the imperial brother so vaguely, not only for the country and the people, but also for self-preservation, there is nothing wrong with it. But you can rest assured now, under my explanation, the ministers have begun to take the affairs of the Di people seriously, these days to increase the number of troops in the northern states, is the countermeasures discussed by the ministers together, no matter whether the Di people invade or not, you will not have trouble, if your guess comes true, but there will be a great contribution to the court. ”

After hearing the words of the Eight Sages King, Xiao Mo nodded lightly, indicating that he understood.

If Xiao Mo predicted the invasion of the Di people, but the courtiers did not believe it, if the Di people really invaded in the future, it would naturally seem useless to the ministers, and it would be natural for the ministers to be jealous; But now that the matter was raised by the Eight Sages King, Chengxiang Zhang Qian and others, and with the support of Emperor Chu Ling, the ministers believed it and made concerted efforts to arrange the defense, whether the Qiu clan invaded or not, it would not seem useless to the ministers, and Xiao Mo would naturally not offend them.

Seeing Xiao Mo's calm and calm reaction, the Eight Sages King nodded with satisfaction, but asked:

"What I don't understand now is, how did you find out who we were?"

Xiao Mo explained: "A servant beside the junior once met Lord Zhang Qian, the prime minister, by chance, so the junior guessed that the only people who can make the Prime Minister Zhang Qian treat him so respectfully are His Majesty and the Eighth Prince." ”

Hearing Xiao Mo's explanation, the Eight Sages King shook his head and smiled, and said, "I see.

Looking at the Eight Sages King in front of him, who had a graceful and majestic temperament, but was full of fatigue at the moment, he asked curiously: "I don't know what is the so-called matter of the younger generation coming this time, Lord Wang?" Hearing Xiao Mo's inquiry, the Eight Sages King was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "Tomorrow I will leave the capital to inspect the northern states, and it will take at least three months to go back and forth, but I can't witness Zirou Palace's attempt to win the championship, and I hope Zirou won't blame me." This time I came to Zirou, firstly, to say goodbye to Zirou, and secondly, to ask Zirou for help" After hearing the words of the Eight Sages King, Xiao Mo couldn't help but be stunned, and asked in amazement: "When the northern states were deployed, weren't they already ready?" Hearing rumors in the market, at least 100,000 troops will be transferred to the northern states, plus the original garrison there, the total number is at least 200,000, why do you deign to go to that dangerous and war-torn place? Hearing Xiao Mo's doubts, the tiredness on Baxian Jiang's face became heavier, and he said slowly: "Although my Great Chu has an army of one million, these officers and soldiers have not fought for one hundred and seventy years, and they are not the same as the hundred battles under the command of Taizu back then. How powerful it is remains to be verified. What's more, my Dachu has always valued literature over military force, the status of soldiers is generally not high, and those who are willing to enlist in the army are all victims who can't survive, and they have few drills, and their combat power is probably different from what the world imagines. And the Eight Sages King seemed to have finally found someone to talk to, as the speech continued, the always steady expression with a little excitement, continued: "But the worry about the army's combat strength is still secondary, the so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, grain and grass first, but only 100,000 troops need to go to the south of the Yangtze River to mobilize, the two granaries next to the capital, could have accumulated 600,000 quintals of grain and grass, but I only learned a few days ago that the grain and grass stored in the two granaries are only 30,000 quintals!" According to the usual practice, before the war, the soldiers were transferred, and they needed to pay an additional two months' salaries, but the household department could only take out half of it!! When the troops were transferred, the military department didn't know how many soldiers they could dispatch, and they still needed to investigate first, and an investigation would take half a month!! When I went to investigate the Weibei battalion for inspection, two-thirds of the soldiers were not in the battalion, and half of them were unknown and could not be contacted!! Eighty percent of the city-guarding equipment in the warehouse of the Ministry of Industry is unusable!! How can I rest assured in such a situation??!! If the war is unfavorable, the blame lies with the ministers who only know how to sing poetry all day long!! "Hearing the words of the Eight Sages King, Xiao Mo couldn't help but be stunned, he had already thought of the weakness of the soldiers, but with the prosperity and wealth of the Chu Dynasty, he couldn't even prepare grain, grass and salary, which made Xiao Mo unexpected." Is there an official corruption? Xiao Mo was slightly stunned, then thought of something and asked.

The Eight Sages King shook his head and said with a wry smile: "This is not true, even if someone is corrupt, he will never dare to corrupt so much." Guangfu Palace and Sanqingguan were built this year, and a total of more than 15 million yuan was spent before and after, plus the ministers and the royal family, and there was not much left every year. After hearing the explanation of the Eight Sages King, Xiao Mo was even more stunned, and asked incredulously: "The balance of the Great Chu Year is only 10 million yuan per year!??
