Zhang Jing said, "The minister went and asked." ”

So he set off, and after finding someone to ask, he came to the Emperor of the Apocalypse: "Your Majesty, the minister has asked, these people ......"

Speaking of this, Zhang Jingyi paused, with a very depressed expression.

"Don't be fussed." The Emperor of the Apocalypse said, "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Zhang Jing said truthfully: "They are not here to see off Your Majesty, but they plan to move to Guide Mansion." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't help but say, "So many people? ”

Zhang Jing said: "In the past, there were sporadic people going, because everyone was afraid of the long distance and accidents. Now that His Majesty's car was about to go, they felt safe, and many of them made up their minds to follow His Majesty's motorcade with them. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that my brother is still very popular. ”

Zhang Jingyi said: "People's hearts are like water. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse's face was obviously gloomy, but he was curious: "Who are the people going?" ”

"There are the most readers, both those who have ambitions and those who are not, especially those who are not ambitious, and when they hear that they believe in Corporal Wang Lixian, they all want to try their luck." Speaking of this, Zhang Jing lowered his voice before he said: "The vast majority of them are the Donglin Party. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was even more embarrassed, and said, "Don't pay attention to them. ”

The convoy continued to depart.

The mighty convoy went all the way, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse sat in the car, looking bored.

After walking for a day, he issued several decrees in succession, ordering the state and county officials in various places not to welcome and send them off.

Along the way, I got a few more notes, all of which were some measures taken by the government of the German government.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse picked up some and looked at them, and thoughtfully, he became even more suspicious in his heart.

Are these benevolent policies really useful?

Thinking like this, the Emperor of the Apocalypse himself began to doubt.

In the evening of the third day, we finally arrived in Baoding.

When it was late, he set up a line, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse stayed in a post station, and the rest of the officials did not have such good treatment, because there were too many people, so they could only camp.

Along the way, not only in the capital, but also in some states and counties along the way, there were also some people who followed the procession, bringing their families and their belongings, and rushing to the Defu.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse became curious, so he asked Zhang Jingyi to find a scholar who followed him to inquire about his whereabouts.

This person is over half a hundred years old, wearing a scarf and a Confucian shirt, and when he sees the Emperor of the Apocalypse, he salutes.

I was still very excited to see the emperor, and this scholar said: "Student Deng Tiancheng, I have seen Your Majesty." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse took a sip of tea, looked at him and said, "Get up, don't be polite, where is the Qing family from?" ”

"It's from Beizhili."

"Is it Xiucai?"

"No, it's a lift."

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was surprised: "Even if you are a person, you are going to take the examination?" ”

"If you don't take the test, the students are old and can't pass the test."

The Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't help but ask, "Then why don't you participate in the election of officials in the Ministry of Officials?" ”

According to the rules, people can participate in the election of officials, of course, it is generally only given to a county official or a minor official such as the chief secretary or the teaching.

This kind of official will be placed in later generations, that is, the level of deputy county magistrate or director of the education bureau, but for the scholars of this era, they are not very affordable, and the county is too small.

Deng Tiancheng smiled and said: "Most of the local errand officers are slippery, and students don't want to be with them. ”

What he said was high-sounding, but in fact, he meant to look down on it.

After all, the family background of the person who can lift people is definitely not bad, the so-called talk and laughter are Hongru, there is no white ding, and the deputy county magistrate ...... Scare......

The Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't know what was going on, and he didn't see through Deng Tiancheng's thoughts, so he said: "In this case, what are your plans to go to Guide Mansion this time?" ”

"His Royal Highness King Xin, Corporal Lixian, the students are going to serve, and I am willing to help him."

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was surprised: "You want to help him?" ”

"Of course, among the ministers' henchmen, there are three strategies for governing the people, and if you get one policy, you can settle the world."

The Emperor of the Apocalypse gasped: "But you didn't rule the people before." ”

Deng Tiancheng said: "The way to govern the people is not to be in the company of officials, but to use scriptures as a technique." ”

Treat with menstrual surgery......

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said, "What is the Sutra?" ”

"Four Books and Five Classics."

Emperor of the Apocalypse: "......"

He could see that Deng Tiancheng was still very respectful to him, but behind the respect, there was also his proud side.

"So, you're going to assist my imperial brother?"

"Of course, Corporal Xinwang Lixian, in the Guide Mansion, there are many wise men, although the students have some knowledge, but there is always a mountain and a mountain high, even if they can't win the favor of His Royal Highness the King of Xin, the Guide Mansion is now peaceful, there is a great atmosphere, and the students live there is also excellent."

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said: "But how can it be proved that King Xin has the atmosphere of great governance there?" ”

"That's because King Xin governs the people with benevolence and righteousness, and there are also a lot of sages in the Guide Mansion."

The Emperor of the Apocalypse felt that he was going around a bend with him.

"After all, Guide is in Henan as a political envoy, I think you have to be careful, there are too many rogues there, and it is safer to be in Beizhili."

Deng Tiancheng said with a smile: "Didn't Your Majesty read the report?" His Royal Highness King Xin exerts benevolence and righteousness, and the people are educated by him, so they naturally refuse to rebel, and Wen Tiren and other great sages assist His Royal Highness King Xin, naturally the people are happy, and the people are too late to be grateful to Dade, how can they dare to make trouble? ”

"And as for those stubborn rogues, it doesn't matter, there are also many talented people in this letter Wang Wei, among which the students are the most respected, is Wang Wenzhi, Wang Wenzhi, this person, is really an unborn Confucian general, purging military horses, even breaking the rogue, beheading countless people, there are such people, Guide Mansion is naturally impregnable."

The Emperor of the Apocalypse suddenly didn't want to talk anymore, he pursed his lips, as if he was enduring something, and only nodded and said, "Okay, you go." ”

"Your Majesty sees the students today, and the students have a ...... to say"

The Emperor of the Apocalypse waved his hand: "Okay, I'm tired." ”

Deng Tiancheng said: "Your Majesty, the student's advice is related to ......."

"Get out!" The Emperor of the Apocalypse was furious.

Deng Tiancheng's face changed, originally he heard that His Majesty wanted to see him, and he thought that this faint monarch was always quite interesting, so he first answered the question of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and only said half of this, and the latter paragraph should be to perform his own level of advice.

Who knows......

This faint king......

Deng Tiancheng was taken out.

Zhang Jingyi, as a coachman, was actually still responsible for the garrison, and when he saw that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was furious, he smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, why be angry, if you are angry, it is not good after all." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said angrily: "Damn, I said it a few times, he didn't listen, he had to scold him, I came to him to ask about what happened, didn't I let him scold me, am I so cheap?" ”

Zhang Jingyi also understood that the Emperor of the Apocalypse would be angry, and smiled and said, "It's just rotten, why take it seriously." ”

"The problem is that there are so many rotten Confucians in the world." The Emperor of the Apocalypse seemed to feel that it was boring to scold, so he said, "I have gone to bed and will set off early tomorrow morning." ”

And Deng Tiancheng was scolded and obediently returned to the accompanying team, and naturally many people came to ask him about the experience.

Deng Tiancheng scolded and scolded: "You can't teach your son, hey...... Fortunately, the old man made a wise choice. ”

When the mighty people entered the territory of Henan, this road became shocking.

Thousands of miles of red land, there are almost no people along the way, most of the fields have been barren, and the villages along the way rarely see cooking smoke again.

As a result, everyone sighed that people's livelihood was difficult, and the places that suffered disasters this year were mainly in Guanzhong, but this place in Henan ...... Although it is the land of the Central Plains, the evil nature is here, and other places are plagued by disasters every few years, but this Henan is every year, even if he is a water and drought locust soup, anyway, none of them can fall on it.

When the Emperor of the Apocalypse saw this situation, he didn't know how to face it, Zhang Jing saw it, and he couldn't help but sigh, he had just come out of the bad mood of his coachman, but now he saw the white bones on the side of the road and the dilapidated and uninhabited village, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

A little further on, we crossed the Yellow River.

Then a member of the teaching team came to report: "Teacher...... Unbelievable, a group of scholars broke away from the team and went to the direction of Qixian first. ”

Zhang Jingyi was anxious: "Who are they?" ”

"There are hundreds of people, the first one, called Deng Tiancheng, the students and others saw them first, felt unsafe, rode horses to chase, let them follow the team."

But this Deng Tiancheng said that other places are indeed dangerous, but in front of him is Qixian, and he laughed at the students, saying that the students hadn't read the report of King Xin? King Xin had already said that Wang Wenzhi had led the army to break the rogue and the rogue had already been defeated. Now there is Wang Wenzhi and his army stationed in Qixian County, which is impregnable, and they go first, so they are naturally safe. ”

Zhang Jing said: "Having said that, it should be persuaded or persuaded, who knows if there is any danger." Well, I'll go and report to Your Majesty. ”

Saying that, Zhang Jingyi went to see the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

Emperor Tianqi was surrounded by a large group of ministers who were driving, and people were sighing when they talked about the appearance of Henan.

As soon as the Emperor of the Apocalypse saw Zhang Jing coming, he asked, "What, what's the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, Deng Tiancheng and them, more than a hundred scholars, rushed ahead and went to the direction of Qixian County."

The Emperor of the Apocalypse had an unsightly face: "Let them go." ”

Liu Hongxun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites on the side, said with flying eyebrows: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the military horses of King Xin have already recovered Qixian County, and these scholars are also anxious when they think about it, and they want to take the first step, which is understandable." With the letter Wang Wei here, nothing will go wrong. ”

The ministers nodded their heads.

To tell the truth, now the matter of Wang Wenzhi, who is promoted by King Xin, is very popular in Qixian County, and there are various versions, and people imagine Wang Wenzhi as a figure like Zhuge Liang.

Isn't this stronger than the Qiu Ba people who disguised themselves as scholars at the Donglin Military Academy?
