Kyoto, Imperial City, Purple Gold Hall.

…………

On this day, when he was in the early court, Liu Jin suddenly had a book to play.

Generally, when Liu Jin has a book, he plays in private, which was hinted at to him by the emperor at the beginning, but it is one of the few people who is so openly above the court.

"Liu Jin, let's talk about it."

"Back to the emperor, the minister recently sent some subordinates to visit the Linhai area, and when he passed through Liling City, he found some important things."

"Listen to it, you don't have to hide it!"

"Back to the emperor, many local errands have communicated with the people in the martial arts, and they rely on this to act unscrupulously."

"Oh, that's it!" When the emperor heard this, his brows immediately furrowed.

And the ministers in the palace were a little surprised.

…………

"Liu Jin, speaking of which, who are they?"

"Back to the emperor, yesterday the minister received a message from his subordinates, Lord Ke, the head of Liling Mansion, and Ning Xiao, the old man of Liling City Pavilion, are all related to this matter."

"Ning Xiao" Emperor asked in disbelief.

"Back to the emperor, what the minister said is the truth, Lord Nake, Ning Xiao and the people in the Wumen are angry, and they kill the soldiers of the court and the opposition at will, and the people in the Wumen who communicate with them are also bold, and they actually intend to kill the champion of the dynasty, and Tong!"

"Wow!"

The courtiers in the palace were shocked, so Liu Jin got those charges, and he could take them out casually, and he could lose his head.

The emperor calmed down for a while, and asked: "That's right, there is a basis."

"Back to the emperor, the minister didn't dare to say anything, all of this was reported by the minister's subordinates after verification." Liu Jin kept explaining his subordinates, the meaning was obvious, that is, he was leaving a way back, these things were all according to what he wrote on a piece of paper, he hesitated, whether to poke them all out, and after thinking about it, he was determined to give it a try, and there was another small twist in this, why did He Tong go to Liling, nominally to observe, to put it simply, he coveted the position of the governor of Liling City.

A champion like him, generally speaking, the emperor will make him a scholar, or go to various places to become a governor, which means that he has experienced a lot of training, and Tong is very ambitious, although the scholar can often see the emperor, and he is considered a close minister of the Son of Heaven. But He Tong didn't look down on him, he didn't want to be a flatterer in front of the emperor, rather than this, it was better for him to be a governor, so he could be regarded as a local master.

Since he is the governor, he and Tong are willing to be the governors of a rich land.

The grades of the governors are all seventh.

And go to Liling City to be the governor, and there must be a vacancy for the position of the governor there, Master Ke, Liu Jin knows a little, he is a conscientious person, he has no great merits, he has not made any big mistakes, and he has just been transferred to Liling City not long ago. Such a person, who is so old, sees that he is about to return to his hometown, and it is basically impossible to directly give him a bad job, or transfer him to a side.

Liu Jin knew that if he wanted to gain a firm foothold in Liling, Ning Xiao was a trouble.

This person is a person who has been sealed by the emperor, a person known throughout the dynasty, to deal with such a person, you really need to use your brains, this time Liu Jin saw the news, and decided to play it to the emperor, if it is true, the matter will be solved, even if there are one or two places of negligence, it is the business of his subordinates, and when the time comes, he will pretend to be reprimanded, and he will offer some money, no big deal.

…………

"Emperor! Ning Xiao is a court strategist, and he is quite loved by the people in the area of Liling City, and the ministers don't believe that he can do such a thing. As soon as Liu Jin said that, a messenger immediately came out to refute it.

"Back to the emperor, the minister thought that it was not true, although Ning Xiao had merits, but now that he is older, it is inevitable that he will have some other ideas, and the place of Liling City is so far away from Kyoto, the minister thinks that he would rather believe it."

The ministers began to discuss one after another, some said that it was impossible, some were uncertain, in short, they had one opinion on this one.

After arguing for a long time, but there was no result, the emperor said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this matter is not trivial, you have a good plan."

…………

"The emperor, the minister thinks that he should order Ning Xiao to enter the capital and hear the news in person, as for Lord Ke, he can order the Suzhou Tui Cha Mansion to investigate and deal with it." Liu Jin.

"This ......... Isn't it too much," the emperor asked hesitantly.

"Back to the emperor, the martial arts have always been a difficult bone to gnaw, and it cannot be extinguished, and once this matter is true, then it is enough to prove that the courage of the people in the martial arts has become more and more great, and such things must be severely punished."

Liu Jin's words were convincing, and he seemed to complain about such a thing.

The emperor did not care about such words.

For Liu Jin, the emperor thinks that he has some understanding, high efficiency, and vicious style, and it is because of this that he becomes a big eunuch.

…………

"Liu Jin, I'm just talking about people in the martial arts, so are there any specific people?" I heard that there are many sects in the world, and these people are talking about, which sect and what sect are they?" the emperor asked.

Liu Jin was overjoyed, he was waiting for the emperor to ask this.

"Back to the emperor, there are two main sects, one is called Taiyimen, the other is called Lingye Valley, among them, especially the people of Lingye Valley are arrogant, today, its young valley master Yi Xian, and his companion Yue'er, in Liling City is the evil party, no scruples, the one who intends to murder the champion, is Yue'er!"

Hearing Liu Jin's words, others didn't feel anything, Ximenzu suddenly chuckled in his heart, and almost screamed.

…………

The first reaction, Ximen Zu was not worried about Yi Xian, but remembered that King Wu had once given Yi Xian a token, if Yi Xian really acted wantonly as Liu Jin said, he must rely on that thing.

For a while, Ximenzu suddenly felt a little worried and regretful, but he didn't expect that he didn't have time to find trouble with Liu Jin, but was defeated by others.

…………

"Taiyimen......... Yes, I know, they are all cultivators on Taiyi Mountain, and their head is Master Xingyou, who is an immortal from outside the world, and he said that he came to Liling City, but I don't believe it. "Your Majesty.

"Emperor! Don't listen to all the words, even if the master is a master, it is difficult to guarantee that among the many disciples below him, there are not one or two stubborn people. ”

When the emperor heard this, he felt that there was some truth, and asked Xuanxuan: "I seem to have heard of this Lingye Valley, according to the far north, many disciples often come to the north to do righteousness, I said, have you ever heard of it?"

As if he suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw, Ximen Zu hurriedly answered: "Back to the emperor, the old minister knows about this matter."

"Master Ximen, you don't have to say everything, how can you listen, your son and Yi Xian, the young valley master of Lingye Valley, have a very good relationship."

Liu Jin suddenly threw out a sentence coldly.

Ximen Zu was surprised, but he was relieved in an instant, with Liu Jin's many eyeliners, as long as something happened in Kyoto, unless he didn't want to know, none of them could escape his eyes.

"Lord Liu, Master Ben has always cared about the affairs of his juniors, and he said at night who he would like to get acquainted with, that is his business." Ximenzu's tone was not good.

"Heh, that's weird, isn't it true that Master Ximen doesn't know this Yi Xian"

"Whether you know it or not, and you need to return to Lord Liu"

For a while, the atmosphere in the court was ignited.

One is the old minister of the two dynasties, Ximen Zu, who has a high prestige, and the other is Liu Jin, the current head of the inner house, and the minister next to him looked at it and did not dare to persuade him.

…………

"What is this, the matter has to be discussed, why should there be such a big anger."

The emperor looked at it and was afraid that the two would quarrel in the court, so he immediately said something.

As soon as they heard the emperor speak, the two of them didn't say anything.

"Liu Jin, there is no basis for what was played, and you can't do it without permission. The people of the martial arts, although it is not easy to restrain them, but after so many years, they have not done anything out of the ordinary, and as for their martial arts grievances, they are all inevitable. Everything must have real evidence, as for whether Master Simon knows him, this will not be discussed for the time being, but, then again, this matter should not be underestimated, so let's do it. I thought, send a minister to find out. ”

After going down to the court, Ximen Zu planned to go to Wuwang's Mansion in a hurry, but before he got down the steps, he was stopped, and Ximen Zu turned his head to see that it was the eunuch Cha Mi next to the emperor.

"Master, the emperor has a decree to send you to the imperial study to see you."

When Ximenzu heard this, he hurriedly smiled and said, "If you have work, the minister will go."

…………

After following the eunuch to the imperial study, Ximen Zu found the emperor standing with his back to the door without entering the door.

"Ximen Zu, see the emperor."

When the emperor heard the voice, he turned around and saw that it was Ximen Zu who came, so he smiled and said, "Master, you don't need to show more, please get up quickly."

After Ximenzu stood up, the emperor gave him a seat and ordered someone to give tea.

"Master, I didn't find anyone else today, just the two of us, let's talk about it today, how about it" The emperor smiled.

"Thanks to the emperor's grace, this is the blessing of the minister." Simonzu.

"Master, he is an old minister of the two dynasties, when the former emperor was alive, he always told me that the master is not only talented, but also strategic, and a talent."

When the emperor said this, Ximen Zu not only did not feel the slightest joy, but was a little afraid.

Generally speaking, if the emperor is summoned and praises for no reason, then it means that he has to start questioning or arranging some drudgery.

"The emperor, the ministers dare not pretend to be meritorious, the emperor's grace is vast, and the ministers are ashamed!" Ximenzu hurriedly knelt down.

"Hey, why did you kneel, you have said it, today is not a monarch or a minister, or a few simple words, no need to do this." The emperor waved his hand and motioned for Ximen Zu to sit down.

"Master, I won't go around in circles, today in the court, that Liu Jin said that the master and the people of Lingye Valley have always had dealings, but there is such a thing"

Hearing this, Ximenzu knew that the key was coming.

"Back to the emperor, this is indeed the case, the minister knows the young valley master of Lingye Valley, Yi Xian." Simonzu replied.

"Master, Mo Tu who is not with Jiuxuantang has a good relationship."

The emperor suddenly threw out such a sentence, even though his face was still smiling, but Ximen Zu looked at it in his eyes, and he was shivering and wooden.

"This ......... That's right......... Back to the emperor, the minister and Mo Tu of Jiuxuantang are friends. ”

Now that the emperor knows it, it is better to admit it generously, but this is not a fatal matter, and there are not a few ministers in the court who have a relationship with Mo Tu.

"The master is happy, not like some people, swallowing, there is nothing bad about the people in the martial arts, as long as they don't harm the people, I have always been too lazy to care about them, and sometimes, I can use them, it's just that there are some small people in the martial arts."

When Ximen Zu heard this, he hurriedly said: "Emperor, the minister dares to use the head of Xiang Shang to vouch, whether it is Mo Tu or Yi Xian, they are by no means small, but ......... On the contrary, you can call it heroic!"

Emperor Shangha smiled and said: "The master doesn't need to say that, I just ask casually, when I just went to the court, I wanted to ask in person, but I was afraid of losing the face of the master, so I asked now."

"Thank you for your compassion to the old minister."

…………

"Master, I don't know what Lingye Valley is, or what Jiuxuantang is, I don't care, I don't ask, I believe in this point, but I just want to remind Master Tai that if they are really talents, Master Tai can lead them to do things for the court."

"Ahh Ximen Zu never imagined that the emperor would say such a sentence.

"Master, this period of time is an eventful time, and all over the country is secretly gathering momentum. I thought that if I could gather these people from the Martial Sect together and form a large team, it would definitely be invincible and invincible!"

After the emperor said that, Ximen Zu hurriedly said: "Emperor, haven't you always disliked the involvement of the government and the opposition with the martial arts?"

"That was before, but now I want to open up, and the people in the martial arts are also people."

"Emperor, then what do you have to calculate?" asked Ximen Zuxuan.

The emperor smiled and said: "I won't embarrass them, don't you say that there are many sects, just like this, according to the size of the sect, for every fifty of the big sects, there will be twenty small sects, so that the government and the opposition have a powerful and powerful brigade, and it will not hurt these sects, they are just a few dozen disciples, as for what to do, and what to do." I have said that I don't care about the affairs of the martial arts, as long as it does not endanger the territory, let them go. ”

Hearing this, Ximen Zu thought for a while, and then said: "The emperor is wise, this matter is indeed feasible!"

"I won't let them contribute in vain, according to the number of heads, the government and the opposition will give some compensation."

I have to say that the emperor's idea is quite good.

On the side of the government and the opposition, there is indeed a need for a huge brigade, just imagine, if some people with advanced martial arts form a team, the fighting momentum can be imagined, far from being comparable to ordinary soldiers, and on the side of the martial arts, it is just a few dozen disciples less in the sect, and the government and the opposition will compensate.

"Emperor, when are you going to make an order?" asked Ximenzu.

"Don't worry, I have to consider the commander's candidate, and the number of people, these people's clothing, food, housing, and transportation need to be provided by the government and the opposition, and then I have to convene the ministers to discuss."

"Your Majesty, is there anything that the old minister needs to do?" Ximen Zu knew that the emperor called him to come, first, to ring a warning bell for him, and secondly, to have something for him to do, and it was impossible to just talk to a few words.

"The master is really thoughtful, I just said it directly, the Jiuxuantang in Kyoto is the main sect in the world, they are there, the master goes, I have a slightly higher requirements for them, so that they will have a hundred disciples, plus ......... Twenty thousand taels of gold!"

"Ahem!" Ximenzu almost choked on saliva.

"Your Majesty, this is not appropriate, this ......... A hundred disciples is good, but it is 20,000 taels of gold......... It's not too much. Ximenzu was worried.

"Not much, Jiuxuantang has dart games everywhere in Kyoto, and each dart bureau has a good business, and there is business in other places, I heard them say that the station of Jiuxuantang is not smaller than my back garden. Let's say, the last time they sold salt in Jiuxuantang, although it was found that they were wronged, but I can tell the master that I am not comfortable in my heart. ”

When it comes to this, Ximenzu understands it.

…………

Since the emperor has this plan, Ximen Zu can't say anything.

"Emperor, if this is the case, the minister will go back to him." Simonzu.

"Well, let's go, yes, I am thinking about giving such a team a name, called Emperor Wuwei, what do you think" The emperor smiled.

“…………”

…………

"In addition, about the commander of this brigade, what kind of person does the master think should be sent?"

This sentence, Ximen Zu understood as soon as he heard it, this was definitely testing him, but he couldn't say who should be sent, otherwise the emperor would know his inner thoughts, at least when looking at people, what kind of direction he tended to.

"Your Majesty, forgive the ministers for being foolish, this minister doesn't know." Simonzu.

"Ha, I think that the master is not only talented, but also an old fox."

The emperor's words made Ximenzu a little embarrassed, obviously, what the emperor meant, Ximenzu knew very well in his heart.

…………

"This commander must not be too old, this old man has too many distractions and too many thoughts, and sometimes it is not a good thing." The emperor whispered.

These words, as if they were for Ximen Zu, have to say that this emperor does have a set, and he seems to be chatting with him lightly, but in it, he said all the things that should be said.

"That's what the emperor said." Ximenzu bowed his head in response.

"Secondly, this person must have a high reputation in the martial arts, otherwise it will not be enough to dominate the whole team."

“………”

"This matter, let's put it off for a while, there have been thieves all over the country recently, I don't know what the situation is, this pawn hasn't presented me with a team situation for many days."

Ximenzu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the Northern Brigade is invincible, you don't have to worry."

"I wish it was so!"
