In the scorching heat of summer, the temperature in Chengdu is also surprisingly hot, and most of the pedestrians on the street walk in the shadow of the eaves to avoid the scorching sun.

Compared with the scorching heat outside, the palace of King Wen is extremely cool.

When the Fu Seal Air Conditioner was just developed, Yao Ruoyu had already purchased a large number of finished products at cost price in the name of King Wen's Palace, and then installed them in major palaces.

Moreover, he also asked Zou Buyi to transfer a line from the Chengdu Mansion's city protection array to supply energy, so that the daily operation of the air conditioner did not need to spend additional spirit stones at all.

In this cold, Xu Xuanrong, Ding Yanzhi, and Chu Jiang sat opposite each other, with different faces.

With the disappearance of Yao Ruoyu for a long time, the friction between the Song Dynasty on the border of Chongqing became more and more intense, and the dark tide in Chengdu Mansion became more and more turbulent.

The most important thing is that due to the break with the Great Song Dynasty, many Confucian scholars who defected in the early years resigned and left, which made the work pressure of Wenbang, which was already tense, even more arduous.

After being quiet for a moment, Xu Xuanrong suddenly looked at Chu Jiang and said with a smile: "I heard that someone in the Chu family was dissatisfied with Xiang Beibei a few days ago and was scolded by the rod for thirty?"

Chu Jiang was stunned when he heard this, and said with a smile: "It's just a battle of will." ”

"You're already thirty years old, or is it a battle of will?" Xu Xuanrong asked with a chuckle.

I don't know how Xu Xuanrong suddenly asked about this, Chu Jiang frowned and said, "What does Xiangguo mean by this?"

"General Xiang is now sitting in Sizhou, close to Jinghu North Road, once the internal instability is very likely, it is very likely to fall under the offensive of the Song army," Xu Xuanrong raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "Lord Taiwei doesn't know this?"

Chu Jiang was slightly suffocated, he naturally knew this, but whether it was Xiang Beibei or that Chu Taiyuan, they were the elite of his Chu family, and the palms and backs of his hands were full of meat, and he was reluctant to punish anyone.

"Let Chu Taiyuan lead a battalion of soldiers and horses to Yuzhou. ”

Suddenly, Ding Yanzhi, who had been watching coldly, spoke.

Chu Jiang was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Lord Ding, it seems that it is not Your Excellency's turn to intervene in this matter of soldiers and horses, right?"

Ding Yanzhi didn't see his anger, and said indifferently: "A month later, Yuzhou will be a place where the wind and clouds gather, since Chu Taiyuan feels that he is not losing to Xiang Beibei, then he will take out his ability, let me wait to see if he is qualified to lead an army?"

Xu Xuanrong first mentioned this matter, just to knock Chu Jiang, and didn't want Ding Yanzhi to say this suddenly, so he frowned slightly, and said suspiciously: "Brother Ding, what do you want to do?"

Ding Yanzhi smiled indifferently and replied: "At the beginning, Dawen wanted to hold the second Hundred Schools' Forum, but due to the dispatch of troops to attack the Yuan Dynasty, the result was not successful. ”

Chu Jiang was puzzled, the three of them were the three dukes, how could they not understand that Wenbang seems to be calm now, but in fact, the dark tide may erupt at any time, isn't it nonsense to hold a hundred pulpits at this time?

However, Xu Xuanrong vaguely guessed a little taste, raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you trying to lure the snake out of the hole?"

Ding Yanzhi laughed, and said: "Yes, since there are people with ill intentions inside and outside now, instead of making a move before they rebel and ending up with a reputation for killing Zhongliang, it is better to let them jump out by themselves and save them from arresting one by one." ”

"I see!" Chu Jiang also came to his senses and said with a smile, "The hundred pulpits, inviting scholars from all over the world to enter Sichuan and Chongqing, at that time, the personnel will be mixed, it is a good time to fish in troubled waters, if I am one of those rebellious thieves, I will definitely not miss this opportunity." ”

For Ding Yanzhi, the calmer the situation, the more difficult it is to find flaws, so the best way is to muddy the situation first.

When he was still in the Jin Kingdom and the Yuan Dynasty, whenever he led an army to fight, he would definitely send a vanguard to fight hard, and then adapt to find flaws.

His ability to adapt to changes is already the pinnacle of the world, even if it is a small or short-term flaw, Ding Yanzhi can always find and strike at it in time.

Xu Xuanrong was thoughtful: "Although this move is blatant, it is a trick to lure at first glance, but they will definitely not miss such a rare opportunity, Brother Ding, your scheming is good!"

Ding Yanzhi smiled heartily: "If you want to talk about yang schemes, who can be stronger than you? I will at most conceive a framework for this matter, and I am afraid that you will have to fill in the specific plan yourself." ”

Smiling slightly, Xu Xuanrong said, "It's okay, let's let you and me join forces and have a good time with those people." ”

"It's just...... Two adults," Chu Jiang raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "Now that His Royal Highness King Wen is not in Sichuan and Chongqing, my Dawen does not have the Eight Realms in charge, if the Song Dynasty sends the Eight Realms to attack, how can we fight against it?"

Seeing that Xu Xuanrong also looked over, Ding Yanzhi smiled and said: "This matter will be solved by Ding, please rest assured, you only need to work hard to prepare to resist the other party's characters below the seven realms." ”

"Yuzhou is located in the center of Sichuan and Chongqing, and now the Chongqing Road is in our hands, and the Song Dynasty will definitely not send a large-scale army to attack, so at most send a master to come," Xu Xuanrong thought through and said with a smile, "It seems that Buyi is going to come back." ”

"I've already thought about it this time. ”

Ding Yanzhi smiled, and suddenly said: "Now that a thousand years have passed since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, since the day I moved the School Palace, I have prided myself on being the second Jixia School Palace, since this is the case, why not call on the scholars of the world to reconsider the hundred schools?"

"Renegotiate a hundred?"

Rao is Xu Xuanrongzhi was calm and unhurried, and at this moment, she couldn't help but feel a heartbeat, after she repeated those four words, she actually had a feeling of shock.

The Hundred Schools of Thought is one of the most peak periods of Chinese thought and culture, and it can be said that since the Hundred Schools of Thought, there is no era of cultural prosperity that can be compared.

Now that Ding Yanzhi wants to reconsider the hundred schools, is it possible that he really wants to create a grand occasion of a hundred schools of thought again?

It's just that he was frightened, Xu Xuanrong's heart was also a little excited, the first hundred schools of thought forum was actually just to check and balance Confucianism, and there was no real intention of reviving the era of a hundred schools of thought, but at this moment, with the strength of their Wenbang, they may really be able to recreate such a cultural prosperity!

*——*——*——*

That night, Zou Buyi had already received a message from Xu Xuanrong and hurried back to Chengdu Mansion.

Early in the morning of the second day, the news that the second Hundred Schools Forum will reconsider the Hundred Schools of Thought has spread throughout the land of Sichuan and Chongqing from the Qincha Mansion and has spread rapidly to the outside world.

For a while, the world was in an uproar, some questioned whether the Migration School Palace was qualified, some were eager to try to create a new school, and many scholars who had fallen into the school were worried about their own inheritance.

And not long after this news came out, Bai Qiuyu, Wen Yuancai, and Duan Shaojie had already gathered in a remote courtyard on the north side of Chengdu Mansion.

As ministerial-level figures of the Dawen city-state, the three of them relied on the country's strength, and their respective cultivation had already broken through to the Six Realms, and under the deliberate concealment of their whereabouts, even the shadow of the Chin Cha Mansion had never noticed their gathering.

Wen Yuan was the last to arrive, and when he entered the courtyard, he saw Bai Qiuyu and Duan Shaojie talking softly in the house.

Seeing Wen Yuan enter, Bai Qiuyu got up with a smile and arched his hand: "Brother Wen." ”

He called him affectionate, but Wen Yuancai only said lightly, "Minister Bai".

Bai Qiuyu was not embarrassed, smiled and beckoned him to sit down, glanced at him and Duan Shaojie, and said: "This time the two brothers have a private meeting, and you know the purpose of coming." ”

Duan Shaojie smiled and said indifferently: "King Wen's whereabouts are unknown, Xu Xuanrong steals authority, and outsiders occupy high positions, this kind of virtue is not worthy of being my great Wenxiangguo." ”

Bai Qiuyu sighed and said bitterly: "Don't hide it from the two, these days I also sent people to the Southern Song Dynasty to investigate the whereabouts of the prince, when he led the army deep into the southeast, and was attacked by the two armies of the northern border and the southern line of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Duan Shaojie frowned slightly, and said unhappily: "In this way, Xu Xuanrong also controlled the court alone on the grounds that the prince temporarily went to sea to escape, and this kind of practice ......."

Looking at the two of you, Wen Yuan snorted coldly and said lightly: "You two don't need to act, since Wen is here today, he is already sitting in the same boat with you." ”

Without waiting for Bai Duan and the others to show embarrassment, Wen Yuancai said lightly: "If King Wen is still there, with Xu Xuanrong's talent, it doesn't hurt to serve as Xiangguo, but now that King Wen is not there, she is just a woman who wants to be in charge of the court alone, which is unreasonable." ”

After a pause, Wen Yuancai frowned, and said coldly: "Besides, with the strength of the prince, how easy it was to break through in the north at the beginning, I don't believe that everyone else can escape back, but he is left behind alone, this matter must be strange." ”

"That's good!" Duan Shaojie hurriedly echoed, "Maybe this woman is empathetic, and she is in collusion with Na Ding Yanzhi, and deliberately betrays King Wen, causing him to be surrounded by the Song army and it is difficult to escape." ”

Glancing at him, Wen Yuan said indifferently: "No matter what, this matter must be asked clearly, since Minister Bai called us over, what do you think of the way?"

"Exactly," Bai Qiuyu smiled and said, "This hundred forums are our chance." ”

"Hundred pulpits?" Duan Shaojie frowned and said puzzledly, "I don't understand what they are thinking, the Song Dynasty is eyeing them outside, they are still thinking about what kind of hundred pulpits, even if a new hundred pulpits are reviewed, what good will it do to our Dawen?"

Bai Qiuyu was also deeply puzzled by this matter, and shook his head at the moment: "I don't know, it is said that it was proposed by the new imperial doctor, maybe he wanted to use this to attract more scholars into my great literature." ”

"This is a conspiracy!"

While the two were talking, Wen Yuancai had already said coldly: "During the Hundred Schools' Forum, both friends and enemies can safely enter my Sichuan and Chongqing, as long as they don't make trouble, my Dawen will never do anything to them, so this is also the best opportunity for all parties to infiltrate." ”

"Lead the snake out of the hole?" Bai Qiuyu raised his eyebrows and said suddenly.

"It must be so," Wen Yuancai tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, and said solemnly, "This person is so bold, King Wen is not here, how can he fight against the masters sent by all parties with his strength alone?"

"In this way, it's really wonderful!" Duan Shaojie also reacted, stroking his palms and smiling, "Taking advantage of the fact that all forces are gathering in Sichuan and Chongqing, we can take the opportunity to send troops and horses to Yuzhou and force them to give ...... Ahem, ask about King Wen's whereabouts. ”

Among the three people in the house, Duan Shaojie felt that Yao Ruoyu would inevitably be buried in the southeast, so he was ambitious and wanted to take the power of Wenbang, as for the reason why Wen Yuancai got involved, firstly, he questioned Yao Ruoyu's whereabouts, and secondly, he was dissatisfied with Xu Xuanrong's control of six departments by a woman.

Among the three of them, in fact, Bai Qiuyu should not be involved.

In addition to Yang Renjie, Li Yilin and others, he can be said to be the first person to follow Yao Ruoyu, Wenbang from the original Hezhou, gradually expanded, until today sitting on Sichuan and Chongqing, as the earliest follower, his power in Wenbang is also getting stronger and stronger, faintly there is already Xu Xuanrong under the second person of Wenchen.

However, after occupying Sichuan and Shu that year, Yao Ruoyu, in order to weaken the power of the Bai family, forced Bai Junru to resign and give up the Ministry of Rites on the grounds that Bai Qiuyu was too corrupt.

It was also from that time that Bai Qiuyu had a greater desire for power, because he found that even if he seemed to be powerful, as long as Yao Ruoyu said a word, he could still lose power at any time.

However, if you want to take the power of Wenbang, in addition to dealing with Xu Xuanrong and others who will go to Yuzhou at that time, you also have to find a way to deal with several military towns on the border.

Among them, the two borders of southern Sichuan and southern Chongqing, there are Xi Shi and Han Derang two seven realms sitting in the town, it is difficult to deal with the situation of not using the seven realms, and the only thing that can be planned in advance is the Kuizhou Military Region in the east of Chongqing Road.

There is only one half-step seven realms of Fu Feng, once he seizes the control of the Kuizhou Military Region, it is equivalent to mastering the key to clamping down on Chongqing Road, and he can force Sizhou and other places not to dare to move.

"Kuizhou?" Duan Shaojie frowned slightly, and hesitated, "Most of my Duan clan's forces are concentrated in the northern Sichuan area, and the whip chief of Kuizhou can't reach it, can the two of you have a way?"

Wen Yuancai shook his head silently, he has a high temperament, and he does not hesitate to form a party for personal gain, although he has been the head of the Criminal Department for a long time, he has not gathered many forces under his command.

Seeing this, Bai Qiuyu smiled faintly and said, "Please rest assured, this Fu Feng will be handed over to Bai." ”

Seeing them, Bai Qiuyu pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Okay, so that the two of you know that Fu Feng's favorite wife, Lin Qiu'er, is a chess piece planted by Bai in his early years." ”

Wen Yuancai and Duan Shaojie didn't notice a slight change of color when they heard this, the latter was okay, but the former was awe-inspiring, his Duan family had a big business, and it was difficult to prevent outsiders from infiltrating, this Bai Qiuyu could even control Fu Feng's pillow person, and I don't know how many people in his Duan family have been bought by him.

Regardless of their respective thoughts, after planning properly, the three of them left separately.
