Chapter 8 Changing Apprentices

Then, Qin Mingyue asked Xiao Rui a lot, but Xiao Rui just refused to reveal a word.

There was no way, Qin Mingyue could only give up asking. The two of them discussed the matter of going to the formation again, and the news about some of the Wumen's troop transfers.

Soon, Qin Mingyue and his entourage went deep into the mountain.

This time, Qin Mingyue did not let the government follow, nor did he let the leaders of the Daomen follow. Just instructed them to wait for Qin Mingyue in Lake Province, a big city close to the Yangtze River and connected to the canal, Yilan City.

Without these people following, Qin Mingyue and Xiao Rui's team was still very large. There were a lot of entourage guards, and if you looked at it roughly, there were two or three hundred people. However, considering the identities of Qin Mingyue and Xiao Rui, these two or three hundred people are not much.

So, not many people pay attention to this.

Now, Hu Deyan, the governor of Lake Province, is secretly discussing with Wang Yifan.

Wang Yifan asked Hu Deyan: "Lord Hu, it's not a way for us to resist so softly?" With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince supporting us, we naturally don't care about a mere King of Qin. However, the key is that there is still a Qin Mingyue in this. This Miss Mingyue is the next national teacher. ”

"Don't say it's us, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I don't dare to offend her. She is not just a future national teacher. She has now put on the golden crown and jade leaves, and I heard that after coming out to play this time, she will go back to the capital and become the national teacher. In the capital, the Daomen and the Star Picking Tower have already begun to prepare for the ceremony. ”

"Within this year, she will be a national teacher. Not to mention anything else, the evaluation of the two of us must not only be signed by the officials, the cabinet, but also the star building. If we can't pass the level of Star Picking, it will have a great impact on our future in the future. At that time, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne and wants to promote us, he will have no way to do it because of the Star Tower. ”

Hu Deyan said with a gloomy face: "What you said is very true. The promotion of officials, the appointment of officials, and even the position of the crown prince are all determined by the Star Picking Tower. What is this called? We Confucians have long been unaccustomed to it. It's good now, the Daomen has gone further, and what kind of Taoism do you still have to do. ”

"Just kidding, preaching and receiving karma has always been a matter for us Confucianism, when did we talk about Taoism? And what are they to give to the people? Taoism does not teach the Taoist scriptures, but teaches some of the skills needed by the peddlers and pawn craftsmen. Can such a thing be able to stand up to the hall of elegance? Can such a thing be called a school? It's simply insulting our Confucian students in the whole world? We Confucians will not give up. ”

"She, Qin Mingyue, a woman, a fifteen-year-old girl, actually wants to order me to be the governor of the hall to assist the Daomen in Hu Province to open a Taoist school? Dream? When will a woman be able to go to court? How can a woman participate in national politics? Isn't this Wu Zetian? Isn't this the Chicken Si Chen? Isn't this going to cause chaos in the world? ”

"I really don't know what Daomen thinks, and he actually chose a woman to be the future national teacher? It's okay to choose a woman, this woman doesn't know what to say, but she actually wants to build Taoism? Before he ascended to the position of national teacher, he began to humiliate our Confucianism. Still want me to help her? Dream. I'm not going to do it. I am an official of the imperial court, and I am loyal to the Xiao family of the Great Zhou royal family, not the Star Picking Tower. I won't obey the order of the Star Tower. Hum! ”

Wang Yifan saw the angry Hu Deyan and understood that this was what Qin Mingyue said about Confucianism to the Daomen of Hu Province in Shanshui City that day, and recently, in the capital, Hu Deyan's father Hu Zongming and other four great Confucians in the capital were disgraced by Shen Guoshi. These things made Hu Deyan very angry. There is not only a dispute over rights, but also a struggle between Confucianism and Taoism. Qin Mingyue is the future leader of the Daomen. Hu Deyan is the eldest son of the two Jinshi, the governor, and the great Confucian Hu Zongming. Naturally, these two people will not like each other.

However, Wang Yifan himself felt that whether it was Qin Mingyue's words that day or Shen Guoshi's words in the capital, they were very reasonable. Since ancient times, civil ministers and military generals have not liked each other. Wang Yifan is no exception. He had long seen that these Confucian students were not pleasing to the eye.

For example, the supreme governor of Hu Province, Wenchen is the governor Hu Deyan, and the military general is the assassin Wang Yifan. However, the power of Lake Province is basically in the hands of Hu Deyan. Wang Yifan can only look forward to Hu Deyan's horse.

This kind of thing, can Wang Yifan be happy? However, there is no way to do this, during the Taiping period, especially in the inland provinces, it is natural that the military generals are not as good as the civil ministers. Of course, even in the Taiping period, at the border passes, the military generals were more powerful than the civil ministers. However, where is Wang Yifan willing to go to the border to eat sand.

How good it is in Lake Province, the land of fish and rice, I don't know how much money I have every year, and I have saved a thick foundation in Hu Province for so many years. How good this is, so, even if Hu Deyan is stronger, Wang Yifan doesn't care.

Besides, because of Hu Deyan's relationship, Wang Yifan caught up with His Royal Highness the Prince, and in the future, after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascended the throne, Wang Yifan's official position will go further, maybe he will go to the military headquarters in the capital. That's the beauty of things. In the future, their Wang family may also be able to mix with the same family.

Therefore, although Wang Yifan disagreed with Hu Deyan's words in his heart, Wang Yifan still agreed: "What Master Hu said is right. A little girl, only fifteen years old, grew up in the boudoir of the official palace in the capital, what insight can she have? What abilities can it have? How can you manage the world? Managing the Dao Gate is not always possible. Well, maybe it's okay to manage the Daomen, after all, this little girl's Dao method is still quite profound. My men went to Dujiang City and saw the giant mirage with their own eyes. So where can ordinary people deal with it? ”

"Nine rank masters, Wu Zong may not be able to kill a mirage. It's still powerful. However, no matter how powerful the Dao Law is, the Dao Law cannot be used to govern the people? Doesn't it depend on Confucian scholars and officials to govern the people? ”

"But, Master Hu, do we still have to do the current thing? If you offend Miss Mingyue, neither of us will have good fruit to eat in the future. What can I do? Even if Confucianism really can fight through the Daomen, so that the Taoism of the Daomen can't be done, but the owner of this Star Picking Tower will still not change, and when the time comes, Miss Mingyue will still be the national teacher, and we are not going to commit it in her hands? ”

Hu Deyan smiled weirdly: "No matter how great our Confucianism is, it can't affect Shen Guoshi's apprenticeship." Which apprentice Shen Guoshi wants to ascend the throne is something that the emperor can't control. However, what if this Qin Mingyue, chosen by Shen Guoshi, died? ”

Wang Yifan's face changed greatly.
