Chapter 52: The Fog Sails
"The position of the national teacher has always been inhabited by the promising and virtuous, and those who think that they have cultivated to the heavens can go to the trial, and if they pass, they can challenge the national teacher, and they can be replaced if they win. "Someone gave her popular science," in the case of Mo Guoshi, he has successfully defended the throne for 37 years, and Jin Guomu does not know his majesty, and there has been no challenger for many years. β
"Wei is different. Yun Guoshi has only served for a few years, and his body and bones are not very good, and some people often covet his position. The king of Wei respected him, but he could not stop others from challenging him. β
Those who can keep their thrones are not easy to match. "What happens if you lose the challenge?"
"The challenge is a matter of life and death. β
Feng Miaojun silently lit a wax for this group of people in his heart, but he was surprised on the surface: "So cruel?"
"If you don't have to face the consequences, there will be more and more challengers. Princess Hanyue said hatefully, "So many people went up to the wheel to challenge, and he was tired to death." β
Feng Miaojun nodded approvingly, secretly saying that the princess originally liked sick and delicate.
The noble lady reminded softly: "Princess, the national teacher's subordinates can only intermarry with the common people. Your status is ......"
Princess Hanyue was even more excited, and waved her hand: "I can save it." I'm going to get married in two years' time, and I'm not allowed to like anyone at this time?"
She has the highest status here, and since her face has changed, other nobles don't dare to talk and laugh to their heart's content. Feng Miaojun silently picked cherries to eat, while listening to the words blown by the wind.
The group of men not far away were talking about the general trend of the world. Her ears have improved, and if the wind is in the right direction, she can also listen to seven, seven, eight, eight.
The first thing she heard was the words "Anxia's resurgence".
Feng Miaojun was basically isolated from the world after coming here, and he had no nostalgia for the dead country, and Mo Tizhun didn't give her the news, this was the first time I heard someone mention Anxia Kingdom, and I couldn't help but be a little curious.
After eating seven or eight cherries, she also pieced together an approximate. Anxia is not small, and it is the northernmost of the original seven great countries. The country has been established for nearly 300 years and has produced many outstanding people. In the two years since its demise, some old people have often missed their homeland and advocated the restoration of the country. One of the most powerful ones settled in the territory of Yan State, and it is said that the leader was the cousin of King Anxia, named Fu Lingchuan, and there were nearly 10,000 people under his command.
However, there are 10,000 people, and they don't know how many percent of the elite are coming, so how can they talk about recovering the country? Feng Miaojun shook his head slightly. From a bystander's point of view, the survivors are naΓ―ve. Wei strictly controlled the Anxia region, otherwise why would the rebel forces wander away from various countries instead of stationed in Anxia itself?
Besides, there is another extremely important factor in this world, which is Yuan Li. With the collapse of the country and the destruction of the temple, where is there still Yuan Li that can be distributed to the cultivators? The existence of the Yuan Force has turned the cultivators into birds of prey that choose trees to perch on, and how many people will be interested in shedding blood and sweat to revive the fallen country?
However, without the great weapon of cultivators, the restoration of the country would be just empty talk and would never be implemented.
Outside the wandering object here, she heard another person say mysteriously: "Do you know that Princess Anxia may not be dead?"
Feng Miaojun was just about to eat a huge cherry, but he was so frightened that the cherry suddenly got stuck in his throat.
She coughed terribly.
The voice was a little loud, and even the men turned their heads to look at her.
Feng Miaojun hurriedly turned his back and pretended to fetch water, while pricking up his ears to listen to what was going on.
After a while, the man continued: "It is said that Princess Anxia faked her death to escape, and now she has been picked up by Fu Lingchuan, and they are all in Yan Kingdom. β
The audience said, "That's interesting." Someone else took the opportunity to ask Zuo Qiuyuan's opinion.
When Feng Miaojun heard this, his heart went back.
It turns out that "Princess Anxia" has been found and taken to Yan Kingdom. With that target on the bright side, Feng Miaojun can act more freely in the future. And King Jin and Mo Tizhun, who knew her true identity, didn't ask her for questioning, obviously knowing that it must be a fake.
She wanted to retract the phrase "the remnants are naΓ―ve". This cousin Fu Lingchuan, who is said to have never met, is not a simple character.
Turning her eyes to the field, she knew that Zuo Qiu Yuan was the only son of the Qin Heavenly Supervisor of the Prison of the Kuo Kingdom, and his cultivation and character were outstanding, and he had long been regarded as the successor of the Supervisor.
Countries have always loved, respected, and feared the national teacher, knowing that there must be someone in this position, but they have to find ways to restrain him and never let him hold power. In addition to the general consensus that "high power is not important", there is also what Princess Hanyue just said, the national teacher and his subordinates can only intermarry with commoners, which blocks the further close contact between the national teacher and the powerful.
For example, the Qin Tianjian of the State of Yu was originally an official office for observing the stars and calculating the solar terms, but after being changed, its chief supervisor was only half a level lower than the national teacher, nominally the right and left hand of the national teacher, but in fact it was used for monitoring and control.
It can be said that the relationship between the Qin Tianjian and the monarch is more intimate, and Zuo Qiuyuan, as the successor, is of course hot in the country.
He swept his gaze several times, and moved away without waiting for eye contact with Feng Miaojun.
Does this take her seriously? No, it doesn't seem right.
The strange feeling in her heart was even stronger.
Time passed unhurriedly, and the fog in the lake on the island became thicker, and even the wind could not disperse. Chen Dachang, who was behind him, took a step closer and said in a low voice: "Miss, if you don't go away, the fog will be even thicker." β
The island is home to beautiful pavilions, and it seems that most of the nobles also planned to spend the night here, as Pisces Island is said to have a different kind of beauty at night. However, Feng Miaojun didn't have this thought, Chen Dachang was right, if you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave when it's late and the fog is thicker.
She immediately stood up and said goodbye to Lady Sleepy Flower and the Princess. As soon as Mrs. Mianhua returned the salute, a colorful feather spirit bird flew from nowhere, stopped on Princess Hanyue's shoulder, and arched her neck affectionately.
Princess Hanyue immediately walked to the flower forest behind her.
Feng Miaojun didn't care, said hello to the nobles, and left with the three people behind him.
After passing through the dense forest and coming to the shore, I found that the white vapor swamp on the river was less than 50 zhang away.
"Such a thick fog. She thought for a moment.
The three of them quickly walked to the ferry. The dock is very small, and dozens of ships are crowded here, and it is very far away from the dense pressure at a glance. Chen Dachang stepped forward and said to the old boat who was sitting there napping: "Our young lady is going back, untie a boat out." β
"Which young lady?"
"The National Teacher's Mansion. β
Feng Miaojun pointed to the outermost boat and said, "It's easier to solve that one." β
"Oh, that's not going to work. The boat boss hurriedly said, "The nobles are of different ranks, and the boats they take are all set, and which ship will come will go back, but we can't mess up, otherwise we will be beaten." β
