Chapter Seventy-Six: A Knife
The Red Lady was defeated and killed, which cannot be said to be a sensation in the world, but it also shocked the Dazheng government and the opposition.
Liuquan Building, in Haohao Dongdu can only be regarded as a reasonable restaurant, on weekdays, the officials and nobles generally feast guests in their own homes, and most of the people who come here to eat are rich businessmen or officials who go to Beijing from other places, or Beijing officials of Qingshui Yamen.
Many people may have forgotten that when Da Zheng had just established the country, the proprietor had sat with a Taoist on this Liuquan Tower and discussed the Tao.
The Taoist once asked the proprietor, "What is good, and what is evil?"
The proprietor replied, "He who does good to me is good, and he who is evil to me is evil." ”
The Taoist asked the proprietor, "What is the proprietor doing that he thinks he has done?"
The proprietor replied, "It doesn't matter if it's good or evil, it's just victory or defeat." ”
The Taoist asked again, "What is a king?"
The proprietor replied, "Chief of the peoples." ”
The Taoist asked, "What is the people?" ”
The proprietor replied, "There are four people: scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants." ”
The Taoist asked, "Why do you treat the people?"
The proprietor replied, "The eater is the foundation of the people." ”
After the Taoist asked, he asked the proprietor to ask questions.
The proprietor asked about the art of human immortality, "Why do you want to live forever?"
The Taoist smiled but did not answer.
The proprietor asked again, and the Taoist sighed, leaving a sentence of not asking the common people to ask the ghosts and gods, and then drove away.
After 100 years, the proprietor of the year has become a folk rumor, and the Liuquan Building is just the Liuquan Building, which is not contaminated with the dust of the fairy family because of the Tao, but the fireworks in the world are heavier.
On a table by the window on the second floor of the Liuquan Building, the two sat opposite each other. The two looked to be about the same age, and both were dressed as scribes. The person sitting on the east side, dressed in a very ordinary cyan gown with three strands of long hair under his chin, poured himself a drink at this time, like Mr. Xixi invited by a large family. The person opposite him is much richer and richer, although he is drinking calmly at the moment, he has the tendency of not being angry and arrogant, and the black robe and jade belt, even in the eastern capital where Gongsun and princes are everywhere, there are few men with such momentum.
Fu Chen, the master of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, and Xiao Lie, the governor of the secret guard.
At today's court meeting, Emperor Zheng officially appointed the sixth prince Qin Xian as the crown prince, followed by a large number of Jin titles, Li Yan was crowned as the crown prince and prince, Xiao Lie was crowned as the prince and prince, and Qin Zheng was crowned as the prince and taibao.
Da Zheng is known as the three princes, the three princes, that is, the Taishi, the Taifu, the Taibao, but only after death can be posthumously sealed, in addition to the three dukes there are also three orphans and three guarantees. Three orphans, young master, young master, young protection. The three guarantees are the prince and the teacher, the prince and the prince, and the prince and the prince.
Generally speaking, the three princes, three orphans and three guarantees are all titled and untitled, only as a title, of which the three guarantees are from the first product, and each has a second rank deputy, respectively, the prince young master, the prince young master, the prince young protection.
If it is subdivided, the prince and the prince teach literature, the prince and the prince teach martial arts, the prince protects the safety of the prince, and Qin Zheng is crowned as the prince and the protector as the governor of the eastern capital, and what Emperor Zheng thinks has been revealed.
Xiao Lie is now a first-class Duke of Anguo, and a first-class prince under the king. In terms of official positions, he is the governor of the five major governors' mansions, the governor of the secret guard, the close minister of the Son of Heaven, and he is afraid of the secret guard like a tiger. In terms of ranks, except for Sun Shiwu, the "old lady" who was crowned as a young master, he and Li Yan Qinzheng are indistinguishable. Even in terms of cultivation, he is also the first person in the world.
It's just that this Mr. Tsing Yi can't be regarded as a worldly person.
After Xiao Liejing drank a cup of Liuquan Tower's signature flower carving, he asked calmly, "Mr. Fu, are you just looking for Xiao to drink today?"
After Mr. Fu filled himself with a glass, he poured another glass for Xiao Lie, and said with a smile: "Isn't it okay? Xiao Yu wants to be the king of the grassland, shouldn't you be a father and drink some wine to be happy." ”
Xiao Lie said indifferently and ruthlessly: "Rebel." ”
Mr. Fu picked up the wine glass, smelled the faint aroma of wine, and said with a smile: "At the beginning, you didn't care less about Xiao Yu's horse seat, but now Xiao Yu wants to pocket the grassland as you wish, where is the reverse?" ”
Xiao Lie's face was expressionless, and he drank slowly.
A smile bloomed at the corner of Mr. Fu's mouth, he couldn't tell whether it was self-deprecation or ridicule, and looked at the jade belt around Xiao Lie's waist, "I forgot, Fang Xuan died in your hands, Xiao Yu has been hating your father for many years." But if Fang Xuan didn't die, you wouldn't have the scenery you have today. ”
Xiao Lie glanced at this gentleman who could almost be called a man who covered the sky with one hand in the Eastern Capital, and did not speak.
Mr. Fu smiled faintly and said, "You asked Xiao Jin to help Xiao Yu, but I didn't expect that my youngest son would start planning for himself at such a young age, I'm very disappointed, isn't it?"
Xiao Lie shook his head, "It's not a disappointment, it's just a bit of a miscalculation." ”
Mr. Fu's smile was a little cold, and he said indifferently: "Do you still have a connection with Xiao Zheng in Julu City? Back then, when you went to Houjian, you were able to learn the true inheritance of the Demon Sect, I'm afraid Xiao Zheng played a big role in it, right? Now Xiao Zheng has lost power in Houjian, but you have gained power in Da Zheng, and Xiao Yu has gone to the grassland again, your Xiao family is really much stronger than the family that has been holding on to the thousand-year-old inheritance all day long. ”
Xiao Lie was silent for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Indeed, if you talk about it little by little, Xiao Zheng can be regarded as my distant uncle. ”
Mr. Fu laughed softly: "What are you talking about, one door and three princes, it is far worse than you, a Houjian regent, a great Zheng Anguo duke, and soon there will be a grassland king, Xiao Lie, you also work hard to strive for a prince, and when the time comes, there will be three kings in one door, then it will be called face." ”
Xiao Lie laughed.
Mr. Fu restrained his smile and said calmly: "You are playing with fire, with Xiao Yu's temperament, he won't know your feelings." ”
Xiao Lie shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm playing with fire, but Mr. You're playing with fire." Xiao Yu will hate me, but he will not hate the Xiao family, no matter where he goes, he is still a member of the Xiao family, if one day, he can surpass me, then I have no complaints even if I die. But I don't understand why you are so partial to Xiao Yu, sir, and some cultivation matters, and this time you also sent Lan Yu to help him, aren't you afraid that this torch will burn Mr.'s east capital in the future?"
Mr. Fu sighed, "It's different, there are some things that I can't do well, but Xiao Yu can make a move, if he can sit firmly on the grassland and carry Xu Lin's 230,000 iron horses, then he can be my knife." ”
"Xu Lin's 230,000 iron horsemen are the final hammer of the sword. If you can stand it, the knife will be, and if you can't stand it, the knife will break. ”
Xiao Lie got up, "Mr. wants to play with the knife, Xiao will not accompany him, but finally advise Mr. not to hurt himself." ”
Mr. Fu smiled: "The injured person injured himself. ”
Xiao Lie turned around and went downstairs, "Check out." ”
When Xiao Lie walked downstairs, Mr. Fu looked at his right hand and compared it to a knife posture, "A knife." ”
