A crescent moon streaked across the delicate turret, casting a hazy yellow light on the high walls, making the palace appear mysterious and quiet.

From afar, the crimson palaces looked like they were embedded in the snow.

The palace is nestled in the trees, revealing glazed tile roofs, just like a golden island.

The gorgeous pavilion of Lanhua Palace is surrounded by the water of Huaqing Pond, and the duckweed is all over the ground, green and clear.

The two dragons on the cornice, with golden scales and golden armor, were vivid, as if they wanted to fly into the air.

It's a big palace-like building, and the golden glazed tiles shine brightly in the sun.

Under the clear blue sky, the golden glazed tile heavy eaves in the palace wall looks particularly brilliant.

At this time, on the throne of the golden lacquer carved dragon in the Lanhua Palace, there was a king who looked down on the world. Below, singing and dancing are leveled, sleeves fluttering, bells are ringing, and music is melodious. The sandalwood lit on the pedestal was smoky. Deep palace, erosion and drunkenness, the decay of human nature.

Lanhua Hall is the place where the Lanshui country deals with government affairs on a daily basis and the ministers go to the court to discuss the government, at this time the singing and dancing in the hall is leveled, everyone toasts to each other, and they are happy, of course, it looks like this on the surface. After a while, the singers and dancers retreated.

Lan Ruiguang, the head of the Blue Water Country, said to an old man sitting at the top of his seat: "I wish the national teacher a satisfactory disciple here. ”

This is an era of absolute monarchy, the imperial power is above all else, and it can be said that the emperor is the master of the country. At this time, what can make Lan Ruiguang, the lord of a country, so polite, is Kong Rong, the legendary national teacher of the Blue Water Country.

As the national teacher of the Blue Water Country, Kong Rong appeases the people, abides by etiquette, restricts officials, uses power prudently, and is open and honest with people. Those who serve the country loyally and faithfully are rewarded even if they are their own enemies, those who neglect their duties and break the law are punished even if they are their cronies, as long as they sincerely admit their guilt and obey the law, they will be given leniency even if they are guilty of the most serious crimes, and they will be punished with leniency even if they are clever words to evade responsibility, and even if they are light, they must be dealt with strictly, and no matter how small their kindness and merit are, they will be punished, and no matter how small their mistakes will be punished. He handled affairs concisely and practically, was able to solve problems fundamentally, attached importance to reality without caring about fame, and did not do anything that was greedy for vanity; at last he made everyone in the Blue Water Kingdom fear but admire him, and he used severe punishment and harsh laws without anyone complaining, because he was honest and honest in his intentions and very clear and justified in his exhortation to people. It can be said that he is an excellent talent for governing the country, and his talent has been recognized by the emperor and the older generation of ministers, and the former emperor even sighed before his death: "Kong Rongda knows the change, and the king is the talent." ”[

Kong Rong, who has already been regarded as a god just in terms of talent, is even more "unfathomable" in his own strength. The Blue Water Country is a first-class cultivation country, and the cultivators are almost extinct, and in the eyes of ordinary people, they are already masters in the Qi training period, not to mention Kong Rong, who has reached the peak of the ninth stage of Qi training! In the eyes of the Chinese people, this is a strong man who is over 80 years old but still walks like a fly, and his strength is easily one enemy to ten! In the eyes of the Chinese people, Kong Rong is labeled as a wise demon and a generation of grandmasters.

At this time, Kong Rong was dressed simply, with a relaxed and humble appearance, and nodded to Lan Ruiguang, his identity no longer had to be too polite to the lord of a country.

The seven major family forces of the Blue Water Country are the Shu family, the Zhou family, the Lai family, the Pu family, the Feng family, the Zuoqiu family, and the Shui family, whose strength is comparable to that of the royal family. For a long time, three factions have been formed, the Zhou family, the Feng family and the Zuoqiu family, the Shu family, the Lai family and the Pu family, and finally the Shui family, which has a deep background, is a family of its own, and is very familiar with each family, and is very distant, and the attitude is either bright or dark and makes people guess. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and in the court, at the feet of the Son of Heaven is no exception.

The head of the Shu family: "I can't wait for Confucius's contribution to the Blue Water Country, and I can't help with anything, so as soon as I heard that Confucius had the intention of recruiting disciples, I dared to recommend the dog Shu Xingjian, the dog can be literate and martial, and should be able to meet the standards of Confucius Guoshi, I hope that Kong Guoshi will show love." ”

The head of the Lai family: "Kong Guoshi, the dog Lai Hanyu loved to dance with guns and sticks when he was a child, and now one person can beat five strong men!

The head of the Zuoqiu family is not happy, this is the opposite, Confucius has no children and no daughters under his knees, what it means to be a disciple of Confucius is tacitly known to everyone, how can they be so courteous in front of Kong Guoshi. Hurriedly said: "The master of the Shu family, the master of the Shu family, Kong Guoshi has his own standards for accepting apprentices, is it wrong for the two of you to impose such a recommendation, how do you let Kong Guoshi answer?"

The head of the Shu family: "Hey, why do you say that, Brother Zuoqiu, it's all our responsibility to share the worries of Master Confucius." ”

The head of the Zuoqiu family: "Hmph, we all know what we think, so why pretend not to know, the old man bluntly said, you are a 'moral kidnapping', even if your son becomes a disciple of Confucius because of this, it is not an honorable thing." ”

As soon as the head of the Zuoqiu family said this, everyone in the hall changed color, who here is not the person in charge of the family who is deep behind the scenes and strategizing, and they have been fighting with each other openly and secretly for so long, they didn't find that the head of the Zuoqiu family is such a straightforward person. When anyone tacitly said something, it turned sour, at least the head of the Shu family and the head of the Lai family were choked. At this time, the head of the Zhou family secretly gave the head of the Zuoqiu family a "good job" look, it turned out that this faction of the Zhou family did not have a few conditions suitable for Master Confucius to recruit disciples, either the age was excessive or the good and the bad were uneven, and it was only a shame to go up to compete in martial arts, and it was okay not to go up. The head of the Zuoqiu family made a pun on this, one was to directly expose the purpose of the Shu family's faction, and the other was to make Kong Guoshi realize that the descendants who chose the court's ministers were afraid that they had a lot to do with it. In this way, although the head of the Zuoqiu family is shameless, it can also prevent the children and grandchildren of the opposite faction from being selected as disciples.

The head of the Shu family: "Brother Zuoqiu's words are very dazzling, which means that you don't want your children to become dragons and phoenixes?"

Zuoqiu family master: "That's right, Master Confucius recruited disciples very much, although my Zuoqiu family has no disciples of appropriate age, but we also sent a large number of house slaves to post propaganda on this matter, which can be regarded as doing our meager help." ”

"Hahaha. The head of the Shu family suddenly burst out laughing.

The head of the Pu family: "Why is Brother Shu laughing?"

The head of the Shu family: "Brother Pu doesn't know, when I just entered the court, I received a news, saying that Zuoqiu Yuanjia, the youngest son of the head of the Zuoqiu family, also participated in the registration of this recruitment competition. Did you say, Brother Zuoqiu?"

"What? don't talk nonsense, the old man won't allow you to slander. "The head of the Zuoqiu family has changed greatly when he heard this.

The head of the Shu family: "Hey, Brother Zuoqiu, how can this be called slander, this is a good thing." "I am very happy that the head of the Shu family can go back with a slap in the face.

The color of the head of the Zuoqiu family changed, who dared to lie in front of the Son of Heaven? It seems that this matter should be true, I can't help but be distressed, this little son is really not enough to succeed and more than lose, what has happened recently to like a singer, and now the strength is not enough to actually want to sign up for the competition, this loss of face is a sure thing. When you go back, you must learn a good lesson.

Seeing that the head of the Zuoqiu family did not reply, the Shu family faction just wanted to be sarcastic, but was interrupted by Lan Ruiguang on the throne, as the emperor, the ability to circumvent the various families still needs to be possessed, only to see Lan Ruiguang said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I know that you have a lot of thoughts about accepting apprentices for Confucius Guoshi, and now it is a question of whether Kong Guoshi will accept it or not, what is the use of you arguing here? It is better to be humble and treat the national teacher." ”

Everyone saluted.

At this moment, Kong Guoshi spoke: "Your colleagues have a heart, the old man believes that your juniors must be the dragon and phoenix among people, but cultivation is about chance, and when the time comes, wait and see, the old man is not strong enough to drink, so he will leave first." Holy Lord, Weichen said goodbye. Kong Rong Guoshi looked free and easy, leaving behind everyone who looked at each other, what is called a cow break, the cow break is to come when he says, leave when he says, and he doesn't even have to wait for the emperor's promise.

And Lan Ruiguang on the throne was accustomed to it, looking at the important secretary in the palace, especially when his eyes swept over Shui Qiwen, the head of the Shui family, he saw this partner who grew up together since childhood, and his face was a little complicated, and his expression was faintly sad and reluctant, and he silently thought in his heart: Has it really come to this point·······
