Chapter Ninety-Six: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron
There is a tall and thin young man standing opposite the ram zeng, his appearance is quite similar to him, although it is a horse face, but the facial features are upright, and he has a unique demeanor, but there is a hidden arrogance between the eyebrows and eyes, it is the second son of the ram who he practiced in the Jinguang Cave of Wudang Mountain!
The ram nodded and said, "The child is fortunate not to be dishonored, and the immortal elders have made a decision and are ready to intervene in this matter." β
Speaking of this, he frowned slightly: "The process is quite strange, when the child first returned to the mountain to report the matter of the Mo family to the immortals, they did not agree with the direct interference of the secret Daomen in the world, and Shang Xianxuan and the abolition of the tax of Guanjin did not break the foundation of the clan, not for the immortal god Miao descendants, if they study hard, why worry about uselessness?"
A prince is a nobleman, but this is the name of some nobles.
Ram Zeng touched the most common long beard in this era, and said slowly: "My father is worried that the immortal elders will react like this, so he didn't act rashly during this time, and he didn't completely pin his hopes on them, why did he change his mind later?"
The child didn't know the reason, when he was initially rejected, the child begged for no use, and felt desperate, so he could only lie on the mountain, lobbying to get close to the same door, seeing that the month was approaching, and was about to return, he was suddenly summoned by the immortals, saying that the change of the law was indeed harmful to the immortals, and he planned to send someone to interfere. "Ram Bo is still at a loss, and I don't know why the immortal elders suddenly changed their minds.
The ram increased his hand and paced, his face contemplative: "No one else visited the Golden Light Cave?"
His own son had just entered the location, and it happened that the master was traveling, and he had no influence in the Jinguang Cave, if there was no external force, there was no reason for several Jinguang Cave elders to change their ways!
"Nope. Ram Bo shook his head affirmatively, "At least the child understands." β
He paused and said, "Anyway, the immortal elders have agreed to this matter and are ready to send a grandmaster to come with a treasure, but they have said it first, and the matter of Chen Di is still within the scope of normal state politics." Shang Xianxuan can concentrate on the scope of the direct control of the king, and did not directly abolish Shiqing Shilu, so it is not justified to meddle in this matter, and he will not directly play the banner of Jinguangdong, as for how to do it, please ask my father to show it. β
"It doesn't matter, I have a plan for my father. The ram increased his palms and stroked it, his expression revealing a bit of joy, as if he had everything under control.
The ram Bo was about to ask what his plan was, when he suddenly remembered something. Subconsciously lowered his voice: "Father, the child heard from the same door that Chen Di's abolition of the tax on Guanjin was deeply appreciated by the King of Chu, and the caravans of several great nobles have already received the first 'benefit' from it, and the Tang State has no objection, it seems that it has acquiesced to this change, it seems that there are 'merchants' who have come to try, if we put things right, we are afraid of other interference!"
In just one month. The impact of Chendi's abolition of the Guanjin tax has not yet been fully revealed, but because it is very close to the two kingdoms of Chu and Tang, especially close to the Chu capital, many merchants have already made two trips. There are many benefits.
Similarly, Meng Qi had only been lecturing in Chendi for more than two months, and most of the nobles, scholars, and common people had learned words such as "benefit" and "benefit", as well as strange idioms such as "putting things right".
Hear the words. Ram Zeng sighed: "I have to say that the five sons of the Mo family, especially Su Mo, are unborn talents. The phrase 'mutual benefit' really refers to the way in which the country and the people get along with each other! This matter is beneficial and harmless to Chu Tang, and they are naturally happy to see it come to fruition, get a piece of the pie, and can also make some secret exchanges with the help of our safe place. β
Hearing his father praising Su Mo and affirming that rashly interrupting the new national policy would cause Chu Tang to interfere, Ram Bo was stunned and said, "Father, then can we do it?"
Ram Zeng's love looked at his proud son, and said with a smile: "You, you are still too young and naΓ―ve, when a thing you are trying to oppose becomes stable, don't think about fighting it and overturning it, but try to control it, so that you can eliminate disadvantages and get benefits!"
"Try to control it?" said the ram looked at his father in dismay.
Ram Zeng's expression became solemn: "The new national policy will not be abolished, but the people who implement it should not be Su Mo and them, but us!"
Since Su Mo said that the general trend of the world, rolling forward, those who go along with it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish, then we will not fight against it, but be its helmsman, and use its momentum to strengthen ourselves!
This...... The ram tasted the taste of his father's words, and for the first time he understood what an old fox was and what was an old scheming, no wonder he had always been the mastermind among the three nobles!
"So, we still want to assassinate Su Mo and them?" Ram Bo felt that he should do this, but he was afraid that he would guess his father's meaning wrongly, so his tone seemed a little empty for a while.
Ram Zeng seemed to have heard some big joke, laughed, and finally said: "Why kill them? Kill them, the new national policy will be our turn to control?" And with the matter of Tian Guang last time, Su Mo and their guards are extremely strict, and the king often takes care of them, unless the immortal chief of the Golden Light Cave can hold the magic weapon of the divine war, or a few elders of the Supreme Elder can come in person!"
As he spoke, his expression became stern: "But they have a weak point, no, this is what they think is the strongest point, and they often rely on it to get their protection, so their defense is relatively loose." β
The ram's thin eyes widened: "Father, you, you mean the king!"
Chen Wang Nai is the grandmaster, the strongest person in Chen Di, it is often he who protects Meng Qi and others from being assassinated, and his safety is the easiest to be ignored!
Ram Zeng nodded solemnly: "Only by supporting the new monarch can the government return to our hands, and then drive out the pursuit of Su Mo and others, and the new policy will naturally be included in the bag." β
He didn't hesitate at all, and the madness of the counterattack made the ram Bo Du dumbfounded.
"But, but there is a big array in the palace, there are superb treasure soldiers in the king, and he is also a grandmaster, unless the immortal chief of the Golden Light Cave can hold the magic weapon of the divine weapon, or a few Supreme Elders are there in person, ......" He muttered to himself, repeating his father's words just now.
Ram Zeng smiled: "This is something that needs to be considered in a head-to-head battle, the Tian family and the Wang family have been operating for many generations, how can there be no secret arrangement, you ask the Immortal Chief of Jinguang Cave, if he can sneak into the palace quietly, and with the assistance of 'Anshen Immortal Fragrance', how sure is he that he will win the king?"
"Tian family, Wang family, An Shenxian Xiang?" the ram Bo asked in amazement.
Ram Zeng nodded: "We have already discussed!"
The ram was stunned, and suddenly gritted his teeth and said:
"If you can't take this, then you will be called a grandmaster!"
............
Da Situ Mansion is close to the palace, and it has to be taken care of by King Chen, which seems to be impregnable.
"There are no changes in the ranks of the three noble fiefdoms, and it seems that there will be no civil war for a while. Meng Qi sneaked into several fiefdoms with a few ink writers to inquire about the intelligence report.
Jiang Zhi frowned slightly and said, "But they are too quiet and obedient." Except for Tian Guang's death, the three families had a secret talk once, and there was no movement, and if something was abnormal, it would be a demon, if you didn't pay attention to it, it would be troublesome when you were in trouble. β
"But I can't find out what they want to do...... Zhao Heng said distressedly, "It's a pity that the supernatural power exercises that Xiao Meng spied on from the clairvoyant memory are semi-incomplete, and they must be cultivated with talent, otherwise we will be able to spy on the monitoring ram to increase them." β
After Meng Qi's persuasion, his commonly used title was finally fixed on Xiao Meng.
Ruan Yushu suddenly said: "What about the Golden Light Cave of Wudang Mountain?"
"What about the nobles who are good friends with the Tian family in the Chu State?" Qi Zhengyan also asked.
Meng Qi looked at the information in his hand: "These nobles of the Chu State have to be taken care of by us. I was very satisfied with the profits, and I had already sent someone to suggest that I would not interfere in the matter. β
"As for the Jinguang Cave of Wudang Mountain, it is a secret door, the location is difficult to find, and it is impossible to explore, only that the second son of the ram increased the ram Bo returned to Wudang Mountain some time ago, and returned yesterday, but did not follow other people. I can't see the attitude of Jinguangdong. β
"Can this also be investigated?" Zhao Heng looked at Meng Qi in surprise, and even knew the whereabouts of a strong man on location!
Meng Qi said with a smile: "No matter how much our Mohist doctrine is changed, it is closer to the lower-class Li Shu during this period of time. They also have a lot of 'benefits', so there is no shortage of righteous people in the Ram family, the Tian family and the Wang family to pass on the news, hehe. Ram Bo always has to rest when he goes home, he has to cultivate, and he has to be served. How could there be no clues?"
This is the vast sea of the people's war!
It's a pity that I didn't reach this kind of Cheng dΓΉ a month ago, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get a glimpse of the content of the secret talks of the three families!
"In short, you have to be careful of the Jinguang Cave, it is best to remind King Chen to ask King Chu to help share one or two, but unfortunately, I didn't see 'Li' before, and I can't make King Chu appreciate, otherwise I will have no trouble. Zhao Heng was amazed by the development of "Ink Maker".
King Chen has nothing to do with Jinguangdong, and it is difficult to find enough people to lobby.
Meng Qi said with a smile: "That's what I mean. β
As soon as the words fell, a messenger came from outside, saying that King Chen had an invitation to discuss state affairs.
"It really happened. Meng Qi laughed, and led Jiang Zhiwei and the others to the direction of the palace, leaving Bai Song, Zhao Bai and Wang Qi to preside over the affairs of Situ Mansion.
The sky was dark, and although the wind was howling, it was oppressive, as if a rainstorm was coming.
This kind of weather made Meng Qi's mood gloomy, but there was no warning of danger, so he didn't care.
As we got closer to the court, there were guards in front of us to check on the identity of the visitors.
This is a slightly immature face, Meng Qi is no stranger, Tian Kuo, the youngest son of the former Si Kou Tian Heng, the new "ink man" who has been tested and sponsored, is not an ordinary nobleman!
He's already a little boss, why is he here to be a guard?
Tian Kuo looked at Meng Qi with a gloomy expression, his left hand hung down, and he made a certain gesture between the "ink people".
It means: extremely dangerous!
Hurry up, danger? Meng Qi was shocked in his heart, his own eight or nine Xuan Gong was completely untouched?
Could it be that there are people who are much higher than themselves who are blinded by heaven?
Is this the reason for this weather?
The more critical it is, the more Meng Qi does not move, the court has changed, how is King Chen?
He secretly used the "Jade Void Divine Calculation" to deduce the safety of King Chen.
Vague? No conclusion?
Ambiguity is the biggest anomaly...... Meng Qi didn't think much about it, and passed on Jiang Zhiwei and others:
"Let's go!"
In an instant, Meng Qi took Qi Zhengyan, Jiang Zhi took Ruan Yushu slightly, and Zhao Heng was alone, turning around and fleeing with lightning speed!
As soon as the three rays of light arose, the people sitting in the palace immediately noticed it, and suddenly stood up, holding a longbow in their hands, and a golden light condensed into a sharp arrow!
And in the Situ Mansion, Bai Song was looking at the secret information that had just been sent: the servants of the three nobles found that their respective mansions were moving at night!
"Quick, stop Mr. Su and them!" he raised his head sharply and looked at Wang Qi and Zhao Bai. (To be continued......)
