Chapter 264: Traveling the World
The two were chatting in the dark, when there was a knock on the door of the secret room.
Since it is a secret room, how this door can be knocked on is indeed very unusual, because no one should know about the door of this secret room at all.
The secret room can only be opened from the inside out, and how can people on the outside know that there is a door? You must know that Lu Zhengxing is directly drawn from the bedside of the dormitory, and Dao Mingzi is sliding in from a hidden corner of the Shengxing Palace.
Don't make people look frightened, because this may mean that the secret of the two people is revealed, but I didn't expect Ding Ning's voice to come from outside at this time: "Your Majesty, I'm bringing you supper." ”
Hearing this voice, Lu Zhengxing and Dao Mingzi, the two of them looked at each other, Ding Ning entered the palace not long ago, how could he know about this secret room?
There must be some kind of weirdness in this, but Lu Zhengxing said to Dao Mingzi Let's go, let's go back the way we came, and ignore him.
Dao Mingzi said softly: "This matter is not simple, his voice can come in from such a thick wall, then it is very likely that he can also hear our voice, and I am afraid it is not appropriate to avoid him at this time." ”
There was a peephole in the secret room, and Lu Zhengxing looked carefully through the peephole Lu Zhengxing for a long time, and found that there was indeed only Ding Ning standing outside, and there was no one else.
Just when Lu Zhengping's heart softened and he wanted to open the door, he was surprised to see a strange brilliance in Ding Ning's eyes, looking at the peephole.
This woman is extraordinary, and Lu Zhengxing even wonders if this Ding Ning is the woman who shared the bed with him last night.
Because he noticed that the cultivation on Ding Ning's body was very inferior to obviously not an ordinary person, he continued to observe here.
Ding Ning. He continued to knock on the door, continued to walk deeper into the secret room, knocked on the wall of another place, and said the same thing, and then he realized that the other party was not sure whether he was in this secret room or somewhere else.
This is the divine power of the master, how did this woman get in? How could the guards outside let him in, it was unusual.
Lu Zhengxing continued to look at him in the deficit, and saw that when Ding Ning came to the end, he suddenly disappeared.
Lu Zhengxing then returned to Daomingzi and asked, "Have you heard anything strange about the Lord before?" ”
Dao Mingzi thought for a while and said that the Juggernaut usually disappears for a period of time, and no one can say the reason for the disappearance, but often this disappearance will not be long before the Juggernaut will reappear.
Lu Zhengxing asked Mingzi when these secret rooms were built, Daomingzi Expressway Zhengxing These secret rooms have existed since the palace was built, and it may even be as old as the age of the Tower of Juggernaut.
So Lu Zhengxing said two words: "Move." ”
Lu Zhengxing was fast-talking, and when he and Dao Mingzi returned to the Shengxing Temple, they began to plan a lot of things.
Because before the introduction of the sacrifice, many old things deposited in the court had to be dealt with, otherwise many prisoners were locked up in prison, and many things were done half of the good deeds had to end well, so there was still a long way to go to implement their plan to streamline the government.
These complicated chores, these difficult little officials, and the many prisoners who are in prison and waiting for interrogation, etc., etc., there are so many things that I can't do enough.
In this way, if you want to move, you have to let it go.
Lu Zhengxing simply gave Shoufu a new position: central deacon.
To put it simply, this position is to guide the core city of the imperial court to control all the decision-making power, which is almost the same right as the master, the only difference is that Dao Mingzi can report to Lu Zhengxing very consciously, of course, he can not reciprocate.
For Dao Mingzi, the emperor entrusted him with a heavy task, which is definitely an unlucky errand, but sometimes there are really some things that have to be done by someone, and Lu Zhengxing can't go around to extinguish the fire with a separate body.
At first, the two of them wanted to arrange these things for others to do, but they didn't expect these guys to do a small thing into a medium thing, and a medium-sized thing into a big thing, and a big thing into a troublesome thing that almost became a dead knot.
Rather than doing this, it is better to do it yourself, but it can save some trouble.
Lu Zhengxing found some things for these officials, so that they could work all day long, diligence and love for the people are usually some realities, and these people are busy to death, so in order to set an example, Mingzi has to perform conscientiously, work hard, and work hard all night, just this acting to the name has been like Lu Xing's reaction many times, this acting work is too tiring, can you find a substitute for yourself?
Lu Zhengxing has been working for so many days, and his brain is getting more and more sufficient, and he asked Mingzi: "If this stand-in wants to kick you, don't you think." Is that more troublesome? ”
Dao Mingzi is helpless, yes, if there is a stand-in, then the road will run away a long time ago, why bother talking nonsense with yourself.
When Lu Zhengxing saw that the name class was about to stop cooking, he finally gave him a chance to take a vacation, of course, this kind of opportunity was incredible, and people usually don't think of it.
Only at this time can he live his little life comfortably and leisurely.
So Lu Zhengxing finally found an excuse and reprimanded Dao Mingzi. Let him be suspended pending investigation, and his name will be his name for three months, and his heart will be happy and blooming.
For Daoming words, the only important task is not great grace, it is not divine mercy, it is all pain, it is all punishment.
For him. Suspension pending investigation is the real holiday.
And the ministers were silent when they saw it one by one, they didn't expect that the emperor Lao Tzu would be angry, and he would directly take the first assistant to open the knife.
They now have some sympathy for this old man Shoufu, who should have enjoyed his retirement a long time ago.
But now they are still jumping around here, and they can't help but sigh, thinking about the old man who followed the old man and bullied the old man before, everyone feels ashamed.
But Dao Mingzi didn't cry and didn't make trouble, and he didn't hang himself, he just frowned, and he didn't seem to be very happy and left. didn't even say a word to distinguish between them, and everyone couldn't help but feel that it was really difficult for this old man's family to be between the master and them.
In the days that followed, Lu Zhengxing, as the master, often said a sentence: "Even if the old guy Daomingzi is not wrong in a thousand ways, at least his attitude is good, you can tell me about you, as soon as this statement comes out, everyone thinks that this is the model they want to learn." ”
Lu Zhengxing felt very bad in his heart, he knew that he would have to spend this boring time with these grandsons every day for three months in the future, and it was completely meaningless to discuss and discuss and seek from them.
Lu Zhengxing rubbed his ears that night, because he couldn't stand the nonsense he had listened to all day's nonsense, and his head was going to explode.
At this time, a eunuch came to report, saying that Mingzi asked to see him, and he pulled a bunch of cars and was waiting outside the palace gate.
Lu Zhengxing couldn't figure out the name, what was he doing.
After the old man Dao Mingzi came in, he held a stack of gift lists and opened a bag, and the bag also contained a whole bag of gift lists, he put these on Lu Zhengxing's table and said: "The lord is above, and the minister is here to thank you." ”
Lu Zhengxing understood what he meant, it was he who gave him a three-month vacation, although the name of this vacation was to suspend him from work pending investigation, but this old guy is too good at making money, why did others give him so many gift lists?
Lu Zhengxing pretended to be angry and said: "You old guy can really invite people to buy people's hearts, why do so many people send you money but no one gives it to me?" ”
Dao Mingzi was not bluffed at all, he explained nonchalantly: "Shoufu is the head of the officials, you are the head of the nobles, we take the lane and the horse walks the road, so have you heard that someone bribed the emperor, and the world is all your use?" You don't lack anything, anyway, they gave it to me as it is, I didn't move, it was all sealed in those boxes, and you can do it yourself. ”
After saying this, Dao Mingzi turned around and stopped answering the road, and walked away with joy.
So Lu was walking to the outside of the palace hall and saw 30 carts, which were piled with wooden boxes, and the wooden boxes were all sealed with seals.
Lu Zhengxing looked back at the list of sacks of gifts, Lu Zhengxing grinned, said nonsense to his opponents, and sent them all to the treasury.
It is normal for ministers to give gifts to each other, and ministers to give gifts to the first assistant, and the capital gives gifts to the ruler, which is really an unheard joke, and the emperor actually didn't even look at it, and sealed these gifts directly into the treasury, which is really selfless.
But there is no impermeable wall in the world, and this matter still spreads.
This is how the folk legend appeared, saying that this name was dedicated to the public all night, and he did his best, and he was actually punished by the emperor.
That's why everyone understands that Dao Mingzi is not actually greedy, but the emperor is really greedy!
But then I heard that the emperor sent these gifts to the treasury, and everyone sighed, there is such an honest first assistant in the world and such a bright monarch, how can this world be bad?
Some people have even begun to use wooden plaques engraved with the name of Lu Zhengxing to bow down at home as if they were gods.
Lu Zhengxing felt inappropriate after knowing it, because he was praised today, and he was likely to be stepped on tomorrow.
So Lu Zhengxing ordered to prohibit such behavior, but some people still do it, and the tighter this matter is, the more popular it becomes, and no one who is really in charge of things takes it seriously, after all, there is nothing wrong with worshipping the Lord, this is a good thing.
For this matter, Lu Zhengxing and Dao Ming discussed it very much, they always thought that all the bad luck was killed, in order to avoid such a result, Dao Mingzi came up with an idea, both of them had to ruin their reputations, after all, what can't be too perfect, and the consummation will be in trouble.
Dao Mingzi explained to Lu Zhengxing in this way, if a bad guy does a good deed, everyone will evaluate him more, and a saint does 3100 good deeds, everyone will not agree, people will only say that this is what he should do.
So when the emperor is regarded as a saint, he can't be drawn, and there is no good thing to say, but if there is any bad thing, you have to find you, and two people are naturally unwilling to do this kind of loss-making business.
But how can you make your reputation worse?
Eating and drinking men and women, the two of them decided to start with these 4 words.
The two agreed that there is no big problem with making a mistake in eating, extravagance and waste, and making a mistake in asking questions, people are not grass and trees, they can be ruthless, and there is no big mistake, so the two of them began to live a life of singing and dancing with beautiful women who eat wine and meat.
Although the two of them are very measured, these two things do have great damage to their reputation, and there are even rumors that Lu Zhengxing and Dao Mingzi are peeping around at beauties and wanting to do bad things, so many families with daughters have taken down the name tags of Dao Mingzi and Lu Zhengxing from the offering stage.
Of course, there are also many dignitaries and nobles who really want to send their daughters to the master to see if they can have a relationship with these two masters.
After Dao Mingzi took a three-month vacation, Lu Zhengxing decided to give himself a month off, so he said that he was sick and began to rest for three months.
The road is on the right track, and after only a month of work, I feel exhausted.
So he wanted to give himself another vacation, but Michiakiko quit, because this time it was Shousuke-sama's turn.
So the two of them are like this, you take a few months off, I take a few months off, and for a while, there was a strange scene in the court, when the master was there, Lord Shoufu was usually not there, and when the emperor was away, Lord Shoufu would appear, and gradually everyone got used to such a shift system, anyway, it was extremely difficult for this brother to decide anything, so everyone simply didn't bother to say so much on the playground
There are a lot of things that you can do, and you can't do it, and you can't do it, and you can't talk to a few classmates to discuss, and you can solve the problem, and everyone thinks it's easy to do, but there is one thing that everyone can't accept, that is, the team of officials is getting smaller and smaller, and there should be many more officials every year, but the emperor and the capital always can't discuss this matter, and can't make a plan?
Originally, this country had a military department, but the old generals have already retired from the old, and no one will choose the new generals at all, and the country has to take soldiers every year, and now a huge country, a country with a population of several million, has only 2,000 soldiers.
Moreover, these soldiers are scattered all over the place, and it is not enough to do any ceremony.
Later, Lu Zhengjun actually agreed with the capital to prepare to abolish the military department, which made all the ministers feel cold, and if this continues, the officials of this family will be demolished.
How did they know that this was Lu Zhengxing's plan, he had privately discussed with Akiko that there was no need for the so-called military department to exist, and all household departments could also be canceled.
In his eyes, as long as there is a household department and a finance department, it is enough, and the rest will be revoked to avoid trouble.
If there are fewer officials, there will naturally be fewer officials who manage officials.
But the strange thing is that with the reduction of officials, many things don't seem to have much impact, at least the disappearance of the military department has not brought any damage, and slowly those soldiers simply did not stay in the barracks, and all went home, so Lu Zhengxinghe Mingzi took care of the military department and abolished the military department directly.
This is not to mention that Lu Zhengxing simply formulated a retirement plan for officials, so that everyone can enjoy early retirement, and there are only nearly 100 officials who cannot leave their posts in the entire imperial court, of course, this is only temporary. And the guarantee is given to the departing officials accordingly. A more generous salary.
Of course, there are also a large number of officials who are very dissatisfied with this arrangement, and they are doing right, and they simply arrest these people, give you a salary increase and grace, and let you go back to rest. It shows that you must have added private work to this job, and you must have sought personal benefits for yourself, and sure enough, once checked, almost all of them are masters of making money.
For embezzlers to find. The original law was quite strict, but on the road, it was not so strict.
He didn't kill these people, he sent them all to the mountains, but wherever the traffic was closed and sparsely populated, let them fend for themselves there.
Lu Zhengxing also told them that this was because they usually used too many alien salts in their brains, and resting there was good for their bodies and good for their lifespan.
After Lu Zhengxing finished this, he had already begun to think about tearing down the palace wall.
He felt that without the palace, he didn't have to stay here all day, and he could take the opportunity to wander around, so he took his two wives and a group of palace maids and began to patrol around.
This kind of inspection of the irregular type is very hidden, he often goes out to wander by himself, he is strong in martial arts, and he is naturally not afraid of anything, plus he sometimes disguises himself as a common man, and even beggars begging along the street, I am afraid that even Dao Mingzi will not recognize him when he walks in front of him.
Lu Zhengxing is in this world, this time he really did a private interview with Weifu, but if he finds something that he doesn't like, he will definitely take action.
Many people have been planted in the hands of Lu Zhengxing, even including some local heroes, and even the bandits in the mountains have been frightened.
All the way, now with an extremely terrifying cultivation, he can sweep away a thief at a time, and it is like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves.
As long as he patrolled outside, the officials everywhere were terrified, and even the little thieves everywhere were much more restrained.
No one knows which day His Majesty will suddenly appear in front of you, because Lu Zhengxing has not returned to the capital for a long time, and for a while, in the capital, Lord Shoufu has become the nominal supreme leader.
It's just that Lord Shousuke has arranged a lot of work, and the ministers hardly have an easy time.
But in any case, the court was in a thriving atmosphere, and the people felt that their lives were getting better and better.
Lu Zhengxing in the ward was still lying on the bed, but he didn't talk much about his dreams now, and his face was full of smiling smiles.
Sometimes even a natural and self-happy look, which makes the three women wonder very much.
Brother Jiu would often come to see Lu Zhengxing, and every time he watched it, he was puzzled by his eyebrows.
He had a hunch that the path of cultivation that Lu Zhengxing was walking was different from what was recorded in his secret book.
Cheats: People who practice this exercise may sleep for three or five days, but Lu Zhengzhou has slept for more than half a month, but he is still not dead, and his face is full of red light and smiles, although he can see that this guy's body is fine even in a dream.
Brother Jiu even pinched the arm that was walking all the way when people were unprepared, he was very terrifying, he felt that Lu Zhengxing's physical toughness and cultivation seemed to be much stronger than before.
It's just that he was still seen when he made this move, Qiong Li observed carefully, he wanted to know what would happen between these two men, but fortunately, what he expected didn't happen at all, Brother Jiu just checked Lu Zhengxing's body, and then left stupidly.
And Brother Jiu didn't show that weird and satisfied smile on his face, whenever he looked sad, this Qiongli was very puzzled, since he was so sad, then why did he bother to touch it?
Could it be that Lu Zhengxing's body is really unwell?
Lida Phil called the first-class doctors of the Interstellar Alliance, and these people had always believed that Lu Zhengxing was entering a special kind of plant sleep, which, according to many doctors, was very good for cultivators.
This is also something that many people can't ask for, but no one knows how long they will sleep, some people even say that it is possible to sleep for 200 years, and it is also possible to say that it is very likely that he will wake up tomorrow, and some people say that it doesn't matter if he wakes up or not, as long as he lives.
Lu Zhengxing is in a dream, then he is not really alive to play in the mountains and waters, fishing and touching shrimp, laughing and playing with his two wives, and the happiest thing in the world is just like this.
It's just that in the secret rooms of Shengxing Palace and Lewei Palace, there is no longer the figure of Lu Zhengxing and Dao Mingzi, the figure carrying Shihe, although he always appears in the secret passage, he will never know where Lu Zhengxing is.
It doesn't take long for Dao Mingzi to tell Lu Zhengxing. What did the woman in the secret passage say and do?
On this day, I was walking by a small bridge and found a very quiet place, which was a hut in the Romance of the Bamboo Forest.
This hut looks very ordinary, and the roof is also covered with thatch, but if you look closely, Lu Zhengxing finds that under the thatch, there is actually a lightly bricked house, which is also very rare in his opinion along the way, you must know that the farmers in the world are usually poor, and they will not pay for such a house at all.
And rich people will not build their houses in such a remote place, because rich people are usually afraid of other people's calculations and robberies, what kind of people live here? When I came to the front of the house, I saw a circle of bamboo fences that were only shallow to the knees.
In the clean courtyard, an old man sat at the stone table, and in front of him was a half-played game of Go, and a boy was bouncing around in the courtyard chasing a mighty rooster.
It is evident that he is obviously very afraid that he is desperately trying to escape, but no matter where he flees, the child can always be. One step ahead of him, let him attack, there is no way to escape.
Looking at Lu Zhengxing, he found that this was unusual, it turned out that this child's pace was very wonderful, and the speed was also very fast.
And Lu Zhengxing found that this kid's cultivation had reached the level of a galaxy-level warrior, which was really unusual.
Because Lu Zhengxing was standing outside the main force in a daze, Ding Ning and Zhao Huaiyu beside him also stood still, and began to be curious about everything in the second middle school.
The woman, of course, had little interest in the big and the little boy who was bouncing, and they saw strange flowers and plants in the courtyard, which they had never seen before.
The old man at the stone table seemed to be still asleep, unaware of everything around him.
