Chapter Ninety-Five: Three Pieces (I)
Seventeenth year of the Ming Dynasty, July
The backyard of the county government has undergone some transformation, moved some fine bamboo, and planted a lot of flowers, although it is early summer, the room is also cool, this is Fang Xin's Jingzhu study, there are hundreds of books in it, also take a look, sometimes write some words and words of the experience of the record, although they have been remembered, but the old can know the new.
With a faint scent of ink and flowers, it is really a good place for self-cultivation and reading.
In other words, he often acts in the society of ancient literature, and now Fang Xin is becoming more and more proficient in the etiquette and articles of ancient society.
At this time, even if Fang Xin did not invade the cold and heat, he was sweating profusely.
The summoning of the magic array, of course, has undergone strict imperial inspection, and it is absolutely not allowed to have faith symbols (that is, gods) to participate, which will not only directly reveal the coordinates of this world to the gods of the alien race, but more importantly, it will make the gods of this world immediately realize that the sensitivity between gods and gods is very strong.
However, in fact, it is not a summoning magic array, it can only be said to be a positioning system, and the teleportation task is not actually undertaken.
Even so, Fang Xin was in the room, under the pretext of reading, and was busy for two hours a day, a full month, before he could basically finish painting this complex magic array, which was really hard, of course, he also had a new understanding of the structure of the magic array, and he also understood its principle.
Fang Xin checked it and found that the six corners of the magic array that used light, darkness, wind, fire, earth and water had already been completed, so he carefully completed the central part. It is said that a long-term summoning array requires the use of many rare metals and raw materials, but this one-time one doesn't matter.
In fact, Fang Xin would never allow a long-term summoning array to appear, and after this array was completed, even if it was not destroyed, Fang Xin would have to erase it. The reason is very simple, this look, at a glance, you know that it is witchcraft.
The empire has a decree, and the officials dare to use witchcraft, and the law is established!
This kind of crime will at least lose one's official position, and if it is serious, it will be exiled, and even if it is serious, there may be murder.
Wait for the red liquid to complete the last symbol. The whole array seemed to shake, and then, slowly, it shone with a light blue light, and slowly extended out along the magic line, only to the entire magic array. Each magic symbol lights up, emitting a faint blue light.
Fang Xin began to inject power, and suddenly, from the outside to the inside, the magic array symbols began to light up one by one, each small cycle produced a different light, and when the six elements were all lit up and the six kinds of light were intertwined, a vortex-like hole began to appear in the center. Fang Xin was sweating all over his body, and began to silently recite the names of Davisi, Dankani, Buster, Idikaren, and Abel, as if it was only for a moment, six figures appeared in the center of the magic array, and then evolved into six dim lights.
This light fell on this side of the world and came, and the choice of time for a minute was naturally very fast, a moment later. The six of them all sent messages, making Fang Xin directly feel their location.
The information was interrupted, Fang Xin no longer injected strength, looked at the magic array, and stretched out his hand. A flash of white light flashed. Suddenly, the magic array on the ground was originally on the ground. Disappear immediately.
After a closer look at the room, he found that there was no trace, so he breathed a sigh of relief, took out a book to read, and after a long time, he stretched his waist and got out of the study, and when he went outside, he heard the sound outside.
"Your Excellency?" One of the attendants asked.
"Well, go to the detention room!"
Fang Nobunaga took a breath and walked lightly, only to arrive at the door, but saw the inspector Zhang Yang hurrying over.
Seeing that Fang Xin was at the door, he didn't wait to go in and speak, so he snapped and saluted, and then said, "My lord, it's not good, it's not good." ”
"What's so noisy?" Fang Xin glanced at him in surprise: "You are also an official of the imperial court, what kind of system is this?" ”
But of course he knew that there was a reason why he could make Zhang Yang so out of shape, so he waved his hand and motioned for him to enter.
After being reprimanded, Zhang Yang found that he was really out of shape, answered, and followed Fang Xin into the signing room.
"Tell me, what?" When Fang Xin saw his expression, he didn't greet him and asked.
"When I received the news, there were some signs of instability." Zhang Yang said directly, and took out a report from his sleeve: "This is a report from the lowly position in the barbarian division." ”
Fang Xin took it, there were not many words on it, it was written about the mobilization and distribution of weapons, after reading it, he closed his eyes for a moment, and felt that the news was true, so he asked: "When did this be delivered?" ”
"Lord Hui, it was delivered at noon, and when he received the news, he rushed over."
Fang Xin looked at it a few more times, got up and turned around a few times, and then said, "How serious is the situation?" ”
In the previous dynasty, a small number of tribes in the southwest, generally adopted the method of appointing Tusi, and the court ordered few officials, the founding of the dynasty, Taizu ordered Anchang to submit, and the king of Anchang refused, so the general Zhang Yuansheng led 50,000 founding Chu troops to attack Anchang, and the king of Anchang died.
Anchang Province was originally a place inhabited by indigenous people, has always been hereditary rule by the local Tusi Tuguan Tumu, since Taizu, the establishment of a province and a county, and the inland government decree unified, this is "change the land and return to the stream", the general Zhang Yuansheng, in this place to kill and slash, killed 100,000 people, burned 300 villages, before and after ten years, it was flat.
Now, hundreds of years have passed, the contradiction between the barbarians and the Han people has become more and more acute, and the Tusi, who were all tribal heads, have prestige and power, and retain a lot of power, they can still control the original subjects to varying degrees, so they are always trying to restore.
And some court officials are not good at managers, increase taxes, send forced labor, and are greedy and blackmailing, this situation, Fang Xin naturally understands, but he didn't expect to launch it so quickly.
"It's very serious, Tusi accumulates cronies, few dozens, more hundreds, and thousands, the most terrible thing is that there have been rumors in the province recently that King Anchang has a great-grandson who is still there, and he should be called King Anchang again, which is really terrifying."
Fang Xin nodded, the scattered toast is not to be afraid, once a leader appears, even if it is nominally, it will cause the whole province to immediately change color, for a hundred years, the fire of national contradictions, one point, millions of barbarians, as long as there is one-tenth of them to fight, has already shaken the country.
Fang Xin then said, "Call Song Wenchen over." ”
Song Wenchen was nearby, and he came over as soon as he called, but when he knew the news, he also changed color, but he was still a little puzzled: "Master Zhang, is your news true?" ”
"The news is true, and there are many clues in ordinary times, such as the purchase and smuggling of iron land, and the contact between various tribes from time to time, which are usually inconspicuous, but now that I think about it, it is really terrifying." Zhang Yang said in a deep voice.
"What's the special character?"
"Ban Muding, this person was originally one of the eight major departments under King Anchang, after the head of the Bochuan Department, the ancestor had 5,000 soldiers, and now the Bochuan Department is also under his orders, it is said that there are more than 60 watchtower cottages to listen to his orders, and this person also read the Han book, it is said that he also learned some strategy, it is a big trouble." Zhang Yang said.
Fang Xin said, "Get the map." ”
At this time, there was also a map, although it was extremely simple, he took it right away, Fang Xin carefully looked at the map of the whole province, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, his own county, it should be said, is still far away from those barbarian concentration areas, and it is not himself who bears the brunt.
But looking at the rough depiction of the mountain shape, Fang Xin asked again: "There are many lofty mountains inside!" ”
"Yes!"
Needless to say, Fang Xin also understands that the terrain here is complex, deep in the dense forest, and it is the place where the ancestors have lived for generations, as soon as the army arrives, it is naturally to drill holes and run through the mountains to carry out guerrilla warfare, and the army is concentrated as soon as it retreats.
Fang Xin couldn't help gritting his teeth, he actually appeared at this time, thought for a moment, and said: "This county, the three-style official document, report this to the county and the province, as well as the imperial court, and say that they have found some signs of instability in the barbarian division, and there are people who claim to be the king of Anchang." ”
"My lord, isn't it inappropriate to go directly to the court? Also, do you have to verify it? Song Wenchen said cautiously, officialdom has the rules of officialdom, and if you go up to the next level, you will naturally not like it.
Fang Xindu took a few steps, and the premonition in his heart became clearer and clearer, and he said categorically: "This matter is very important, as the chief official of this county, he also has the power to play directly with the imperial court, you will send this matter immediately!" ”
"Yes, sir!" Song Wenchen saw that he was resolute, so he responded.
Fang Xin pondered for a moment, and also expected the reaction of the county and the province, this kind of major event is related to the future of officials in the province, so naturally it does not want to happen, and it is estimated that even if it is reported, it will "hope not", which will definitely cause delay.
In fact, even if this matter is nothing, the most likely thing is to scold, at most it will be degraded to a higher level and become a county official, as for offending the provincial officials, this is also a helpless thing.
