Chapter 422: Zhuge Wolong
"Lord Wang, the dryad has been removed, but we want to return to the capital immediately?"
Xiahou Yuan asked beside him.
"No, this king is going to meet someone."
Li Ge pondered for a moment, and suddenly looked at Yan Chixia.
"Daoist Yan, you are very capable, it is really a waste to live in seclusion here, why don't you go to the capital with this king, join the Zhaoxian Pavilion, and contribute to the people of the world?"
Li Ge's solicitation of such a red fruit made Yan Chixia stunned.
"It's better to be respectful than to obey!"
Yan Chixia groaned, and then readily agreed.
"That's very good."
Li Ge nodded with a smile, Yan Chixia has cultivated all martial arts, and her strength is not weaker than the fifth order, which can be regarded as the first top master recruited by the Zhaoxian Pavilion.
The next morning, Li Ge and others left Lanruo Temple and traveled all the way to Jinhua County.
"See the ...... of the prince"
The county magistrate of Jinhua County led a team of people and respectfully stood in front of the county hall to greet him.
"Take this king to prison!"
Li Ge didn't come to Jinhua County for fun, but specifically to find someone.
Later, under the leadership of the county order, everyone came to the prison.
In the damp prisons, countless inmates are crying out for grievances, some of them are real prisoners, but most of them are not.
There is a reward for catching a wanted criminal, and in this troubled world, they can catch one at will.
When the children of certain high-ranking officials break the law, these people become substitutes for the dead, and they are specially chosen to be executed in the middle of the night, because they can't see clearly in the night.
Under the leadership of the county order, Li Ge and others came to a certain prison cell, where an unkempt old man was imprisoned.
I saw the old man with his head down, as if he was drawing something on the ground.
After five minutes, the old man seemed to have finally finished writing, and the whole person stretched his waist and turned his head to look at Li Ge and the others.
"Zhuge Wolong?"
Although Li Ge was asking, his tone was very affirmative.
"Hey!"
The old man, who was suspected of Zhuge Wolong, suddenly laughed, grabbed the cockroach on the ground and threw it into his mouth to chew, looking like he was enjoying it.
But it's understandable, in this kind of prison, there's not much to eat, and the occasional catch of a small mouse or something, that's a big meal.
"I didn't expect the king of the north of the dignified town to come to visit me, an old man."
Although Zhuge Wolong was locked up in prison, he obviously knew everything about what was happening in the outside world.
"You are the legendary Zhuge Wolong senior?"
Ning Caichen looked at Zhuge Wolong with a shocked face, and a faint look of reverence appeared on his face.
Tongtian Bo Scholar Zhuge Wolong, in this era, for scholars, that is, a living saint in the world, no wonder Ning Caichen was so shocked.
As for why Ning Caichen appeared here, it was because Ning Caichen was originally from Jinhua County, and he went to Guobei Town just to collect accounts, so he followed Li Ge and others all the way back to Jinhua County.
In fact, not only Ning Caichen was like this, but even Yan Chixia and Xiahou Yuan also showed reverence on their faces at this time, which showed Zhuge Wolong's personality charm.
"Who else is it not me?"
Zhuge Wolong said lightly.
"But why are you here?"
Ning Caichen's face was full of questions, the dignified Zhuge Wolong was actually imprisoned in prison, who could believe it.
"My ancestors had no eyes, let me be knowledgeable, let me write books and pass them on, who knew that I wrote travelogues, and was said that I leaked state secrets, wrote history, said that I borrowed the past to satirize the present, annotated the art of war, and said that I instigated rebellion, wrote stories of gods and monsters, and said that I led people to superstition, and finally had to rewrite the biographies of celebrities. Who knows, the celebrity I wrote about lost power and was condemned as a rebel, and I, along with him, was sentenced to life imprisonment......"
Zhuge Wolong grumbled, and then began to draw and write on the ground on his own.
"This king came today to invite Mr. Zhuge out of the mountain!"
Li Ge did not beat around the bush and directly explained his intentions.
"The old man's kindness, the old man understands it, but unfortunately the old man is a handful of years old, and he may not live well in a few years......"
Zhuge Wolong politely refused.
"As the so-called rise and fall of the country, the husband is responsible, Mr. Zhuge is unparalleled in learning, and he really doesn't want to do his part for the people of Li?"
Zhuge Wolong's fame in Shilin is very great, Li Ge is bound to win this time, as for the problem of Zhuge Wolong's old age, there is enough longevity pill to allow him to live for another ten or twenty years.
"The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband......"
Zhuge Wolong was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up.
This sentence comes from Gu Yanwu's "The Beginning of the Day", and the background is the period when the Qing army entered the customs, and there is no such sentence in this era.
"Ashamed ......"
Zhuge Wolong sighed, and finally agreed to go out of the mountain.
"This is the longevity pill, Mr. Zhuge can take it."
Li Ge took out a longevity pill and handed it to Zhuge Wolong.
Zhuge Wolong took the Longevity Pill and took it on the spot, and then in the shocked eyes of everyone, Zhuge Wolong's appearance became younger at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"This ...... There is such a miracle in the world! ”
Yan Chixia and the others were shocked, with a look of disbelief on their faces.
"The longevity pill is extremely precious, but as long as you join the recruitment hall and make enough contributions, you can redeem it with points."
Xiahou Yuan explained on the side.
"What are points?"
Yan Chixia asked.
"Points are ......"
Xiahou Yuan immediately talked about the point system of the Recruitment Hall.
The so-called points system, simply put, is meritorious service, you can get points, and the points can be exchanged for various natural treasures in the Zhaoxian Hall.
And among those heavenly treasures, there is the longevity pill.
After all, if you want the horse to run and not give the horse grazing, it is naturally impossible.
Maybe at the beginning, because of justice in the heart, I don't ask for anything in return, but as time goes by, the passion will be worn out sooner or later.
Only the bundling of interests is the real long-term solution.
In order to be able to obtain points and exchange them for various natural treasures, the people of the Zhaoxian Pavilion will do their best to complete the task.
"The prince's method is very wonderful!"
Zhuge Wolong said with a smile.
"Lord Wang, the car is ready."
Jinhua County Commander said respectfully.
"It's been a while since I came out, it's time to return to the capital!"
In the past six months, Li Ge has rectified the program of the dynasty and wantonly dismissed traitorous ministers and corrupt officials, but there are still many ministers in the court.
With Li Ge in the capital, those ministers naturally did not dare to be presumptuous, but if Li Ge was not there, I was afraid that those people would make waves again.
It's not that Li Ge doesn't want to touch those people, it's that there is no evidence.
Although Li Ge is the king of Zhenbei and has a high position in the court, he cannot dismiss officials for no reason, otherwise the court, which has just improved a little, is afraid that it will fall into turmoil again.
However, Li Ge had already ordered Six Doors and Jinyi Wei to collect evidence, and after returning to the capital this time, Li Ge was ready to take action against those people.
Fortunately, there is nothingness in the capital, and Li Ge is not too worried, and those people can't afford to make too many waves.
