Chapter 294
Seven years have passed in a hurry, and under the wrist of Wang Jun Gao Dynasty, Zhao is now thriving, connecting the countries of the Western Regions in the west, connecting the land of Baiyue in the south, reaching beyond the four seas in the east, and the ghost side of the grassland in the north, and all the ethnic groups came to the state for a time.
As the Zhao State became more and more prosperous, Wang Jun's imperial authority became more and more intense, and his words and deeds would make the ministers tremble.
Daming Palace, the court will be solemn, Wang Jun sat on the dragon chair, his eyes were restrained, although he looked a little lazy, but none of the ministers below dared to wander, all of them looked deferential.
As Wang Jun has become more powerful over the years, the Eight Sages King has become more and more low-key, but everyone knows that Wang Jun still relies on the Eight Sages King, especially in the past two years, the chief official of the scientific examination has been all served by the Eight Sage King.
The Eight Sages King walked out of the noble queue, bowed slightly, and said, "The minister has something to do." ”
Wang Jun sat up straight and said, "Quasi-play." ”
"Your Majesty, in recent years, our dynasty has gradually attached importance to the rule of the officials, the people live a rich life, natural and man-made disasters are very rare, in order to reflect the grace of His Majesty, the minister suggested to hold the Enke, open the branch to take scholars, give grace to the world's students, and recruit talents for our dynasty." The Eight Sages King said loudly.
The ministers couldn't help but be a little moved when they heard this, they knew that Wang Jun hated amnesty in the world, and thought that if he was guilty, he should be imprisoned to atone for his crimes, and the best way to hold Enke was that the talented sons and nephews of their family could also have the opportunity to step into officialdom. Hurriedly said: "The ministers seconded the proposal." ”
Wang Jun thought silently in his heart, it has been ten years since the affairs of Nanzhaoguo, Zhao Ling'er and they went out of Yuhang Town, and met Liu Jinyuan, who was the top student in high school, in Suzhou, which means that after Enke was held, the plot was about to begin, and he spit out in his mouth: "Quasi-play." ”
After a pause, he said: "In order to take care of the scholars who are far away, let them rush to the capital in time to participate in Enke, and Enke will officially start the exam on the fifteenth of next month." ”
When the ministers heard this, they hurriedly said, "Your Majesty Shengming." ”
"Retreat." Wang Jun got up and flicked his sleeves, got up and walked off the dragon chair.
When the ministers heard this, they bowed together and said, "The ministers send your majesty respectfully." ”
In the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, Wang Jun sat on the couch, boiling tea, and said lightly: "Summons the Eight Sages King, Zhuge Liang, Bao Zheng, and Wang Chengxiang to come to see me." ”
After these years, Wang Jun found that this Zhao State is like a combination of the Song Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, that is, there are Tang Dynasty figures such as Xue Rengui, Li Bai, Li Xiaocun, and the Eight Sage Kings of the Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness, Bao Zheng, Di Qing, Zhanzhao and other Song Dynasty figures.
Tea time, Bao Zheng, the Eight Sages King, Zhuge Liang, and Wang Chengxiang came to the Yangxin Palace, got up and bowed, and said: "The ministers see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”
Wang Jun stretched out his hand to help the four of them with a palm, and said, "You don't have to be polite, Su Xian will sit down." ”
Su Xian, who should have been in his seventies, has been practicing the "Secret Record of the Sun" given by Wang Jun all these years, and looks similar to a rich man in his fifties.
The four of them thanked them again and sat down together, but their butts only sat on one of the three round stools, and it looked more like they were doing zama.
Wang Jun shook his head helplessly, but didn't say much, because no matter how many times he said it, the four of them would not change it, and said, "What happened outside recently?" ”
The four of them looked at each other, not quite understanding the meaning of Wang Jun's words, as the head of the civil officials, Wang Cheng, could not say that he didn't know anything, and could only tell Wang Jun some of the recent things he knew.
hugged his fist at Wang Jun, and said in a straight voice: "If you want to talk about things, there is really one thing, yesterday there was a customs clearance document from Nanzhao Kingdom, saying that their princess may be in my Zhao Kingdom, and I hope that Your Majesty will allow them to enter to find someone." ”
Wang Jun secretly said in his heart: "Zhao Ling'er is already an adult, it seems that the Moon Worship Sect Master can't wait to take action and create the so-called perfect world." ”
Wang Jun turned his head to stare at Prime Minister Wang Cheng, and said lightly: "Is it that if I don't ask, you are not going to tell me?" Or do you think I'm just an ornament? ”
When Prime Minister Wang heard the cold sweat on his head, he wiped the sweat in a panic and said again and again: "The minister has no such intention, Your Majesty misunderstood." ”
Although Wang Jun's tone was flat, the four of them were still terrified when they heard it, as if they were about to face a natural disaster, and the Eight Sages King hurriedly got up and explained: "Your Majesty has misunderstood, and Prime Minister Wang Cheng only received a notification from the Ministry of Rites at the end of today's court meeting, and is preparing to report to His Majesty at the small court meeting tomorrow." ”
Wang Jun picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, as if accepting this explanation, nodded and said, "Are the people of Nanzhao coming?" ”
Prime Minister Wang Cheng said: "Your Majesty has not yet arrived, and what is coming now is only a messenger, and the official mission will not arrive until two months later." ”
Wang Jun tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and said nonchalantly: "You said that the mission will arrive in January, why did I receive the news that there is already a group of Lunatic worshippers in my Zhao Kingdom who are doing evil, but none of you know. ”
Bao Zheng was angry when he heard this, since Zhao Guo had a kind of spirit of the Heavenly Empire under the leadership of Wang Jun, no matter what the enemy was, he would not be afraid, and now when he heard that the Nanzhao State in a corner of the country dared to do evil in Zhao State, he couldn't wait to chase them down. Said: "Damn, these Lunatic Cultists are a group of chaotic ministers and thieves, and the minister suggests that all these thieves be hunted down, put in prison, and then ask Nanzhao for an explanation." ”
The corners of Zhuge Liang's mouth rose slightly, he already knew that the matter that he had been waiting for for many years was about to begin, so he turned his head to Bao Zheng and said, "Bao Gong doesn't need to worry, the Holy Lord already has a claim on this matter, and I believe that the group of Moon Worship Sect members should be under His Majesty's surveillance." ”
Wang Jun applauded and said, "Kong Ming is right, I have sent people to monitor them to see what they are going to do, but the news that has come back recently is that they are just running around, so I think they are just a group of people on the surface, and there is a group of people acting in secret." ”
Bao Zheng couldn't help but look at Wang Jun, and then at Zhuge Liang, and always felt that the two of them seemed to be hiding something, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he can ignore them, but he still has to warn them, otherwise it will seem that the court is a little cowardly." ”
The Eight Sages King also felt strange, according to Wang Jun's previous practice of doing things, once he heard that someone was doing evil, he would not care if you were a prince or a minister, or a demon or a monster, he would definitely send someone to deal with them as soon as possible.
Looking at Wang Jun, who was calm at this time, he couldn't help but secretly said in his heart: "Your Majesty has become more and more unpredictable over the years, and I don't know what to prepare to do, I just hope that Your Majesty will not take Zhao Guo into the abyss." ”
With a long sigh, he said: "Holy Lord, the minister suggested that my Great Zhao make preparations early, ten years ago, the Moon Worship Sect Master had caused turmoil in the Nanzhao Kingdom, and the Moon Worship Sect who had been staying in the Nanzhao Kingdom actually came to my Great Zhao, and the minister suspected that they had ill intentions. ”
Wang Jun pretended to have a contemplative expression, it seemed that many people were aware of the ambition of Moon worship, but what they didn't expect was that Moon Worship wanted to destroy the world, and said: "I have heard that the Moon Worship Sect Master's mana is unfathomable, if he comes to my Da Zhao in person, I don't know if anyone can resist it." ”
The Eight Sages King said without hesitation: "As far as the minister knows, there is a sword immortal sect in Shushan, and the Shushan disciples are all disciples of an immortal family.
If there are demons in the world, they will also uphold righteousness and go down the mountain to kill demons and protect the safety of the place.
The head of the Shushan faction, Dugu Sword Saint, is the number one master in the world, and he has a few encounters with the minister, and the minister can repair a copy of the book and ask him to go down the mountain to resist the Moon Worship Master. ”
When Wang Jun heard this, he couldn't help but look at the Eight Sages King deeply, he didn't expect that the Eight Sage Kings would have something to do with the Shushan faction, playing with the teacup, and silently thought in his heart: I didn't know how to lead the Dugu Sword Saint out of the Shushan Sect, meet with him, and try to see if I could draw the Sword Saint to his side, and the Eight Sages King would actually send such an excuse.
Slowly spoke, and said: "It's so troublesome Uncle Huang, and I also ask Uncle Huang to invite the Dugu Sword Saint to Beijing to talk to me as soon as possible, I am worried that the Moon Worship Sect Master will come to my Da Zhao without knowing when." ”
"This matter is sooner rather than later, and I hope that the emperor will retire and go home to write a letter." The Eight Sages King also understood that the Nanzhao Kingdom had already taken action, and the Moon Worship Sect Master was probably coming soon, and this kind of thing had to be done quickly.
Wang Jun waved his hand and said, "Eighth Emperor Uncle, Prime Minister Wang, Bao Zheng, the three of you will step back first, I still have something to discuss with Kong Ming." ”
After thinking about it, he said, "Su Xian, you also step down, I don't need anyone to serve me for the time being." ”
"The minister retired." The three of them said in unison.
"The slave and maid are gone." A group of eunuchs and palace maids said in unison.
The three of them got up and left the Heart Cultivation Hall with the eunuch and palace maid, knowing that the matter discussed by Wang Jun and Zhuge Liang must be confidential, so they closed the door intimately.
Wang Jun turned to face Zhuge Liang and asked Zhuge Liang, "Do you think we can win over the Dugu Sword Saint, the head of the Shushan faction, and let him stand on our side?" ”
Zhuge Liang thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty has little hope, according to the Holy Lord, the Shushan Sword Sect is placed in the human world by the divine realm to monitor our human race, and the minister guesses that each generation of Shushan masters will be brainwashed by the divine realm, so that they will become loyal dogs of the divine realm." ”
After hesitating for a moment, he said: "The minister suspects that it is not just brainwashing, but that the people of the God Realm may also distort the soul or thinking of the head of Shu Mountain, and only in this way can we ensure that the disciples of Shu Mountain will always be loyal to the God Realm." ”
Wang Jun touched his beard and thought for a moment, feeling that what Zhuge Liang said was quite reasonable, the people of the God Realm must have done something to the head of the Shushan faction, otherwise they would not be afraid of another Qionghua faction, just take this opportunity to find out what is wrong with Shushan, and said: "Kong Ming, how is the 80,000 new army?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, now the 80,000 new army has been completely completed, of which the 50,000 Yongsheng army under Yide have all reached the congenital level, and the cultivation has reached the highest breakthrough to the grandmaster, and the evil spirit is unstoppable.
All the 30,000 night troops under Zhang Liao's command have reached the Great Grandmaster, and a small number have entered Baodan, because they are all mainly sword immortals, and they have the ability to fight across the border. ”
"Okay, with these 80,000 new troops, I'm not afraid that group of guys will play with the crowd, otherwise I'll be able to withstand their masters, and some of the nine-stream hairy gods on the opposite side will destroy everywhere in my Da Zhao, and I won't be able to easily free up my hands to save people at that time."
Wang Jun applauded when he heard this, and the top master Wang Jun was not afraid, but once the God Realm descended on the tricks of the human race, he didn't have so much energy to deal with it.
"How's Nameless doing now?" Over the years, Wang Jun has left Nameless in Yuhang Town, and he has never had a chance to see him, and he doesn't know where Nameless's cultivation has become.
"Nameless is currently living in seclusion in Yuhang Town, fishing for a living on weekdays, and five years ago he wrote to receive a closed disciple." Zhuge Liang said without hesitation.
Wang Jun couldn't help but be interested when he heard this, he didn't know what kind of genius would make Nameless move his love for talent, and accepted him as a closed disciple, and asked, "Who does Kong Ming know about Nameless's disciple?" After so many years of staying in Yuhang Town, I was a little reluctant to go, and I saw his disciple give him a sword another day as compensation for Nameless. ”
Zhuge Liang coughed dryly and said: "The anonymous letter said that his disciple was an orphan, named Li Xiaoyao, who was raised by his aunt since he was a child, and their family opened an inn in the town. ”
Wang Jun suddenly found that the only talented people in Yuhang Town were Li Xiaoyao and Wang Erhu, especially Li Xiaoyao's understanding was unparalleled in the world, no wonder Wuming was moved, and said: "I know about this matter, and tell Nameless that the Lunatic Cultists will appear in Suzhou in the near future, as long as they set foot in Yuhang Town, no one will stay." ”
"Obey." Zhuge Liang understands that the overall situation is about to open, but this kind of thing can only be in our own hands, only we can open the curtain, control the development of the situation, and sit back and watch other characters jump out.
Wang Jun then looked at Zhuge Liang and asked, "How is your disciple Liu Jinyuan?" ”
Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly when he heard this, shook his head helplessly and said: "Liu Jinyuan is indeed as perfect as His Majesty said, if he didn't see it with his own eyes, Chen really didn't want to believe that there was such a person, he thought about others wholeheartedly, and never thought about himself for half a point." ”
Wang Jun laughed and said, "Didn't I say it, Liu Jinyuan can be said to be a Confucian sage, as long as Haoran is upright, he can go a long way." ”
Zhuge Liang looked proud and said: "Jin Yuan now has the strength of a grandmaster, if he plays well in Enke this time, it is best to become a champion, and with the help of the world's fame, I am afraid that he can break through to the middle stage of the great grandmaster." ”
"With Liu Jinyuan's talent and Kong Ming's teaching for so many years, if there is no scholar who surpasses Liu Jinyuan, he has the greatest possibility of becoming the champion." When I watched the turn of Sword and Fairy Warrior, except for Zhao Ling'er, Wang Jun had the best impression of Liu Jinyuan in it, otherwise he would not have contributed to Zhuge Liang's acceptance of Liu Jinyuan as a disciple.
was praised by Wang Jun for his outstanding disciples, even Zhuge Liang was proud, but his personality was gentle, and he still smiled modestly, and said: "I have so many talents, and Jin Yuan is still very poor." ”
Wang Jun waved his hand and said, "I don't know about others, but I still believe in Kong Ming's talent, but after Kong Ming went back, he told Liu Jinyuan to review his homework well, and my expectation for him is to be among the top three." ”
Zhuge Liang also felt a burst of pressure when he heard this, but it was also motivation, and said, "The minister will tell Jin Yuan." ”
Wang Jun took a sip of tea, snapped on the coffee table, and said: "Time flies so fast, we have been here for seven years, and the more we get to this time, the more we can't make mistakes.
Kong Ming, after you go back, tell Zhang Fei and them, this time we are equivalent to fighting against the water, so from now on, we will loosen the outside and tighten the internal arms war. ”
Zhuge Liang's face was straight, and he said, "No." ”
