Shendu, early morning.

The six ministries of the imperial court, together with the offices of important departments such as the Prime Minister's Secretariat, are concentrated in one area, which is also known as the government affairs district.

The roads leading to the government district extend in all directions, and the core is two main roads, horizontal and vertical.

Every time, the sky is dark, and there are dense breakfast stalls at the four intersections leading to the government affairs district on these two avenues.

Because the imperial court ordered the Shendu Decree to maintain a quiet and solemn atmosphere in the government affairs area, the Shendu Decree was naturally strictly enforced, and all shouting and selling stopped, and even vehicles in the government affairs area were not allowed to enter and exit at will.

And because the imperial court has particularly strict requirements for working hours, the secretary cabinet since Qin Xiang took power has been even more strict to the point of perversion, and Qin Xiang himself has set an example, not to mention the senior officials of various ministries, even the lowest doorman must reach before the specified eight o'clock.

God is so big, many people's homes are located far away from the government district, in order to sleep more and save energy, almost no habit of eating breakfast at home, there is such an objective demand, the entire government district of middle and lower officials, officials and even servants more than thousands, this objective demand has created the prosperity of these four morning markets.

There are those who wear official uniforms, those who wear various official costumes, and those who are dressed as servants, and at this moment they have eliminated the difference in status, and the seekers who just want to eat a bowl of hot and fragrant breakfast are endless.

As soon as eight o'clock passed, the prosperity of the morning market suddenly became scarce, and all the vendors packed up their stalls, and today's trading came to an end.

After buying the buns, the honest and honest Li Dalang had already packed up all the belongings, picked up the burden, and his feet were brisk, but after only three or two steps, he disappeared at the end of the long street.

This simple action alone revealed his extraordinary martial arts attainments.

In this regard, the vendors next to him are not impressed, and the gods are all people, who have not worked hard.

Martial arts are profound, but honest, and there are more good people who have made a fortune diligently, this is not any "big hidden in the city" pretending to be a problem, they cultivate for every breakthrough in a realm, they have to automatically go to the imperial court to register and record it.

One word, good people!

And the most famous example of this piece is the old widower Wang Mazi in the east of the city, who has been doing the menial work of collecting dung buckets along the street every morning and transporting them out of the city every morning.

He was destined to be "extraordinary" from birth, not only with a pockmarked face, but also with a large tumor on his neck, a hunched back, lame feet, and the back of his ears.

Not smart.,The kind that is often teased and fooled by people.,Martial arts talent isn't even mediocre.,Absolute choice.。

Not to mention marrying a wife and having children, even if you take the money to go to the Qinglou, you will not be allowed to consume, and you can make a lot of money, just because the mother of the Qinglou wants to beg him to leave quickly, don't sweep the interest of other guests, and reduce the style of the building.

is such an old widower who is often ridiculed by the old neighbors in the neighborhood, often despised and even scolded by people who don't know each other, and is suffocated by reality as an old boy.

This living example has lowered the level of peerless masters to the lowest level in history in the hearts of the people of Shendu, coupled with many other examples of martial arts masters being good citizens, there has already been a clear understanding in the hearts of the people of Shendu, the level of martial arts and what kind of person is two different things, and those who sell early are not allowed to have high martial arts.

This time, though, they looked away...... Of course, it is not necessarily, in the eyes of those who know well, the pool of water in the Shendu is too deep, as long as you don't cross the line, then turn a blind eye.

Li Dalang carried the steamed bun burden home, and found that there was already a man in a green shirt sitting at the table waiting in the room, he was not surprised, and he didn't say hello, Gu Dudu directly picked up a pot of herbal tea on the table and drank half a pot, then wiped his mouth, and said: "Go back, I don't have any news today." ”

The man in the green shirt frowned and said: "It's been more than a month, and I don't know what happened to the emperor of the Four Ancient Dynasties in the god capital, if it is known by the country, we are indispensable to eat melons!"

Li Dalang spread his hands and said:

As far as I know, only Prime Minister Qin, General Wei Chi and His Majesty today know about the specific matter, and the emperor of the Four Emperors Dynasty has been kept in the dark before, and I don't know why.

And now, the few people who drafted the notes in the secretary's cabinet have not shown up, and so have other people who may have access to secrets, so in this case, what news can you find out if you let me sell it early?...... Do you really expect the middle and lower echelons of the Ministries who ate my breakfast to confide in such secrets, maybe they are less worthy than we are? If you really want to know, let the deeper ones find it, I don't have the ability to do it. ”

The man in the green shirt frowned and pondered, there are indeed a few of his subordinates who are lurking deeper, and it is indeed easier to inquire about this matter, but these few people are his own hard work for many years, and they are the biggest highlight on his report card.

What's more, whether you can inquire about this matter or not, judging from the current situation, it is difficult!

As far as he knew, Xue's Chu State exposed several small and medium-sized officials who had entered the government affairs district and a close attendant of an important minister this time, but Mao didn't inquire, and he was severely criticized by the secretary's cabinet in black and white.

He was a little indecisive, and the country was very urgent......

Both of them were spies planted in Shendu by the Tang Kingdom of the Wu Clan.

At present, there are a total of eight great powers that can be called hegemons, and the so-called hegemons are large countries with a land area of at least one mile, and they have a strong influence in the whole world.

These eight countries were almost evenly scattered around the Tian Yuan Empire, and the total land area of these eight countries amounted to 31 roads, which was not much different from the total land area of nearly 3 million small countries that were scattered around the world like stars in less than one county.

The fierce open and covert struggle between these major powers and the depth and breadth of the game have led to tragic collisions in all aspects of military, political, economic, cultural, and all kinds of tangible and intangible influences.

For example, the Tang Kingdom of the Wu Clan and the Chu State of the Xue Clan, with the Tian Yuan Empire and the Four Ancient Dynasties set the four directions, and these two great powers were located in the southeast region between the Gu Xia in the south and the Gu Shang and the Tian Yuan Empire in the east, and their greatest influence was also within this range.

Although the two countries do not share a border, the fierce game and battle have never stopped, and there have even been dozens of direct wars as proxies.
