Looking at the orderly wall outside the car window, straight like a chessboard of immortals falling in the sky, although Zhao Xiao couldn't release the paper crane to investigate on his behalf at the moment, he could roughly deduce the pattern of the neighborhood in his heart.

"How? It seems that the emperor is not as lively as Dongsheng, right? Qian Shaobai was in the carriage.

Not long ago, Zhao Huang left Tiancheng Mountain and came to the imperial capital with Qian Shaobai. Although the distance between Tiancheng Mountain and the emperor is only a few hundred miles, walking on the official road on the ground, you have to pass through several passes, which shows the strict precautions.

And the closer he got to the imperial capital, the more obvious Zhao Xiao's induction became, and an invisible prohibition constrained his own mana. When he saw the city wall of the emperor's capital, Zhao Xiao found that the body of the half-immortal, which was originally as light as a feather and could be taken off the ground at any time, had become heavy and sluggish, and he couldn't fly even if he wanted to.

In the past, the Tianxia Dynasty set up five directions and five capitals, which was to praise the officials and calm the five gases, and to take this as the basis of the discipline and law. And His Majesty is the place where the five directions and five qi converge and inherit, the weather is mysterious, and all kinds of spells are not working here. Even if it is a Taoist immortal family or a big demon, they don't dare to act arbitrarily under the emperor.

It's just that Zhao Huang didn't expect that after a hundred years of war, the emperor still has such a strong prohibition.

"I see that the dwellings are all enclosed within the walls, and the people seem to have to be proof to go in and out?" Zhao Xiao couldn't help asking, "Is this move too restrictive to the people?" ”

Qian Shaobai shook his head and said: "Zhao Daoyou still doesn't know, after the emperor experienced the battle of slaying the dragon, he was already in tatters. Although the imperial court was later placed here, it also housed a large number of people.

However, due to the withering of people's livelihood and the depression of all industries, thieves are often found in the capital, and even evil assassins are hiding in it. As a last resort, the emperor's capital could only be rebuilt drastically, divided into markets, built fences, and set up curfews, so as to facilitate the inventory of people's household registration and sweep away lawlessness. ”

"This can indeed prevent thieves, I think when I was in Longzangpu in Dongshengdu, I was assassinated by the spies of Jiuli Kingdom."

When Zhao Xiao spoke, he was still secretly calculating, he suspected that the entire emperor was a legal altar, and through the strict and orderly Fangshi Palace, the layout was arranged to form a very wide range of prohibitions, which was more clever than those who were able to do so in Dongshengdu.

"With Zhao Daoyou's cultivation now, he has long been fearless of assassination." Qian Shaobai said.

"Not necessarily." Zhao Xiao stroked his face, and he found that the effectiveness of the Nine Heavens Cloud Terrace was not broken by the ban. _o_m

"I heard afterwards that you killed Cao Qingwei and a group of forbidden beings alone." Qian Shaobai said: "Even if you anticipate the assassination of the Rising Sun God Sect in advance, you have to be unscathed under the siege of so many curse forbidden beings, and kill all the assassins, I am afraid that none of the four immortals may be able to do it easily." ”

Zhao Xiao smiled: "It's not good to evaluate your own elders like this, right?" ”

"Others may not know, but I know the inside story." Qian Shaobai replied: "The real person in charge intends to let Zhao Daoyou replace the Four Immortals and assist Zuo Xiang." If there is no advanced mana as a guarantee, I am afraid that it will be difficult to succeed. ”

"I just work hard, and I can't change my life." Zhao Xiao laughed at himself.

"But I think Zhao Daoyou seems to be enjoying it?" Qian Shaobai asked.

"I just have a vague understanding." Zhao said: "Instead of dwelling on the past and wandering around, it is better to start with the current step, and always do things to change the current situation." ”

Qian Shaobai asked curiously: "This doesn't seem to be some profound and obscure truth. ”

Zhao Xiao nodded and said: "That's right, it's the most plain and unpretentious truth, but after all, you have to experience it yourself to truly comprehend, otherwise it will be a lie." ”

Qian Shaobai showed a thoughtful expression, and when Zhao Xiao saw him like this, he gradually understood why Han Yuanzi valued this person.

Qian Shaobai's mind is actually more transparent than Zhao Xiao, there is no need to worry too much about things in this world, and the people who can be sent to He Qingchen to do things are rare and handsome.

The carriage slowly came to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and before Zhao Xiao entered the door, he saw that the outside was crowded with all kinds of carriages, horses, and servants, all of whom belonged to the noble men of the capital.

"It seems that Lord Zuo is full of distinguished guests." Zhao Xiao quipped: "I wonder if I have the honor to meet?" I'm afraid it won't be my turn today. ”

"Zhao Daoyou laughed, as long as you are willing to come, Lord Zuo Xiang will definitely see you." Qian Shaobai led Zhao Xiao to the Prime Minister's Mansion. (This chapter is not finished!) )

Chapter 309: The Emperor Hundred Fangs

Door.

The guard sergeant Kong Wu was powerful, and when he saw Qian Shaobai, he bowed his hand: "Qian Shaoqing, my lord has a word, if you go back to the house, go to your life immediately." ”

"I see." Qian Shaobai gestured to Zhao Huang beside him: "This is Xu Huaiyu, a master of the immortal family specially summoned by the adult, and he will often enter and leave the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future, you must not be offended." ”

"Obedience." The sergeant glanced at Zhao Xiao, and then gave up his hand to answer.

After entering the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhao Xiao whispered to Qian Shaobai: "If I am not mistaken, that sergeant's cultivation is close to condensing Xuanzhu. A prime minister's guard actually has such a kind of cultivation, is the left minister too extravagant? ”

"If the gatekeepers have no cultivation, I am afraid that those arrogant people will blatantly rush into the door of the house." Qian Shaobai took Zhao Xiao through the waiting room, and there was no shortage of dignitaries standing or sitting on the left and right.

As soon as these people saw Qian Shaobai, their expressions immediately changed greatly, full of flattery and flattery, and they stepped forward and said: "Qian Shaoqing! You're finally here! We all waited for a long time, but we were not able to meet the Prime Minister in person. Can you convey on your behalf, we are willing to donate the land of the suburban manor, and I only hope that the left minister can open the net! ”

Qian Shaobai just smiled calmly: "This matter is clear and judgmental, and it is not a matter of being able to say anything." @精华\/Shuge, no mistake start~~ Lord Zuo Xiang is busy with official business, please wait for a while. ”

After saying some words that were not salty and not salty, and dealt with official business, Qian Shaobai took Zhao Xiao out of the crowd and hurried through the courtyard.

"It seems that you are also a big celebrity." Zhao Xiao asked, "Those nobles didn't give you any gifts, right?" ”

"There are a lot, not to mention any rare treasures, just the singers and dancers have sent more than 100 people." Qian Shaobai didn't hide it in the slightest: "But I refused, these people are stupid enough, they never know what I want." ”

Zhao Xiao was also interested: "Then I don't know what Qian Daoyou wants?" ”

Qian Shaobai looked ahead with a serious expression: "An experience." ”

Zhao Xiao didn't say anything more when he heard this, Qian Shaobai's future achievements are destined to be impossible to ignore. Compared with his confusion in the past, Qian Shaobai's heart to the Tao is very firm, and he is not entangled in the red dust inside and outside, even if he is in the court, he can still keep quiet and not be contaminated. This kind of mental kung fu, Zhao Xiao couldn't do it in the past.

After a while, the two came to the main hall where He Qingchen was, an official was reporting on official business, He Qingchen looked at the official document in his hand after listening, and scolded: "That's how you Shaoyang County does things?" The fields are not divided into fertile and barren, plains and mountains, and the fields are cut into east and west, how do you let the people work? ”

He Qingchen's tone was not serious, but the official's face was pale and cold sweat broke out, as if he had to use all his strength just to stand without falling.

"Also, I asked you to promote the encirclement of Ze to create fields, why is the progress so slow?" He Qingchen took out another official document: "This is the result of the investigation I sent to Fengmu and Guipu counties, and you haven't even done half of what you set last year, what does this mean?" If you don't want to do it, just say it, Linxi County still has a few people to watch Fengsui. ”

The official's body was shaky, and he said in a loud voice: "The lower officials are incompetent, but there are barbarian chiefs in Fengmu and Guipu counties who obstruct them, and they are accustomed to fishing and hunting in swamps, resisting the government's encirclement of Ze and cultivating fields, and even injured many officials. ”

"Three years ago, I asked you to contact the barbarian chieftains, preach more about the benefits of making fields and living in peace, distribute farm tools, and teach the methods of farming, just to smoothly spread out the enclosure and make fields." He Qingchen squinted his eyes and said, "I gave you enough time, this is the result you handed in?" ”

The official fell to his knees, grabbed the ground with his head and said: "The lower official is incompetent, I beg the Zuo Prime Minister to be gracious, give the lower official another year, and be sure to complete the encirclement of the county!" ”

"Don't knock it, it's useless to smash your head." He Qingchen frowned, raised his eyes to see Zhao Xiao and the others, motioned for them to sit aside with his eyes, and then said: "Tomorrow, you will hand in another piece of writing on granting fields and cultivating fields, and explain what you want to do clearly, and after a year, it will be approved according to the examination and approval as described, if you can't do it, you can go to see Fengsui." ”

"The subordinate obeys!" The official kowtowed a few times, and then hurriedly withdrew from the main hall, Zhao Huang saw that his back collar was soaked, which showed the weight of He Qingchen's authority.

"You're here?" He Qingchen rubbed his eyebrows, revealing a hint of tiredness: "I have already heard the matter of Dunjia Mountain, the Xianjia Cave Heaven is already mysterious and unpredictable, although it was missed for a while, but there is still a chance in the future." ”

"Left phase. (This chapter is not finished!) )

Chapter 309: The Emperor Hundred Fangs

Adults don't need to be comforted, I won't lose my temper because of this. Zhao Xiao smiled.

"That seems like I'm overthinking." He Qingchen cheered up and asked, "You should know that I invited you to come to the imperial capital this time to praise the inheritance of the official. ”

Zhao Xiao nodded, and He Qingchen said: "Then I will understand, I need the rituals and rituals of the Tianxia Dynasty Praise Officials, not only those profound and wonderful methods that can call the wind and rain and command the gods, but also funeral rituals and festival sacrifices that can be used in the market and countryside." ”

"Isn't it for the sake of resetting the discipline and discipline system?" Zhao Xiao asked.

He Qingchen said: "Then let me ask you, what is the discipline and law?" ”

"Always hold the number of heaven and earth qi to run, clearly determine the yin and yang of people and ghosts, and suppress all wrongs." Zhao Xiao replied: "In this way, we will stabilize the situation and help the common people." ”

"Yes, but not really." He Qingchen shook his head and said: "Discipline people, the upper is the code system, and the lower is the customs and education, I went to look through the historical books and found that the praise officials of the Tianxia Dynasty are not just warlocks and the like, but shoulder the responsibility of educating the people.

In particular, the Tianxia Dynasty opened up thousands of miles of territory, and many remote places were not kingized, and the customs were very different from those of Middle Earth. In my opinion, this is where the foundation of discipline and law lies, not only the shrine of the Great Monarch of the Five Directions and Five Virtues. ”

Zhao Xiao didn't expect He Qingchen to be able to see this layer, although he had similar thoughts in the past, he didn't delve into it.

"So Lord Zuo Xiang hopes that I can re-edit the rituals and teachings to everyone, so as to educate the people?" Zhao Xiao asked.

He Qingchen said: "As far as the Bear Country is concerned, in the countryside and markets, there are many rituals and rituals left over from the Tianxia Dynasty, but after a hundred years of war, there are many changes, and even become a bad custom, among which there are many sacrifices to obscene ghosts and gods. And I hope to sweep away all these miscellaneous chaos and unify the rituals of sacrifice. ”

Zhao Xiao was indeed shocked by He Qingchen's ambition, but he did not lose his mind, but said: "Unification of etiquette and law, this matter should be deserved." But has Lord Zuo ever thought that it is precisely because of the different customs and customs in various places that there will be a lot of chaos? Forcibly sweeping it away is only afraid that it will backfire. ”

"Of course I wouldn't do it rashly." He Qingchen explained: "At least in my place, there is a distinction between various customs - if it is Yin worshipping the evil god to extort blood food, it is to punish the evil and destroy the temple, which is irrefutable; If the villagers spontaneously, they should be admonished; If the customs change, then establish the authenticity and wait for it to be imitated. If it is too remote, or if it is attached to the barbarians, it is not limited to a moment, and changing customs is a long-term thing. ”

Zhao Xiao remembered that the official just now seemed to be involved in the affairs of the barbarian chieftain, and He Qingchen had arranged it a few years in advance, which showed that he had a long-term vision.

"I see." Zhao Xiao knocked his head: "The ceremonial rituals of the Praise Officer are all here, as long as Master Zuo Xiang gives me a pen." ”

He Qingchen smiled: "How can a pen be enough?" I have gathered 500 men, and in the next door at the Taiping Fang, a new Zanli Division has been set up, and you are there to compile the statutes, and you can come to me at any time if you have any problems, and this is not a good thing for everyone. ”

"Lord Zuo Xiang is generous." Zhao Xiao was a little emotional, he didn't expect to come to the emperor's capital and return to his old job.

"I didn't look for those 500 people blindly." He Qingchen said: "They all have bachelors, temple blessings, and master of ceremonies from all over the Xiong Country, and some of their ancestors are praise officials, but they are not as powerful as you."

I have asked them to sort out the folk customs and rituals of various places in the bear country, and you can see what needs to be changed after you look at it, and tell them directly. In the future, I will arrange these people to go to various places, build pavilions, guard shrines, and cast rituals. ”

"Pavilion?" Zhao Xiao asked with some surprise.

"What? Aren't I allowed to study Huaxuguo? He Qingchen said: "I have always thought that the system of Hua Xu Guo's pavilion is useful, but you are not doing well." How can there be enough for six pavilions? There are at least a hundred open in the bear country! ”

This frightened Zhao Xiao: "A hundred? ”

"Of course, is it possible to be like Chongxuan Pavilion, to make an immortal blood, and a few high-ranking disciples entertain themselves?" He Qingchen said: "I know very well that the system of the pavilion is not for cultivating immortals and learning the Tao, but for cultivating warlocks in the country. In that case, the more people there are, the better. ”

"With such a waste of money to build a museum, can the bear country afford it?" Zhao Xiao said curiously.

He Qingchen said with a smile: "Before the drastic changes in Dongshengdu, I heard that you once presided over the compilation of the laws and rituals of Huaxu Kingdom? also made a "Three Days and Nine Grades Compendium", planning to set up a science selection? ”

"Yes, Lord Zuo Xiang is well-informed." Zhao Xiao immediately reacted: "You don't want to do this in the country of bears, right?" ”。 Initial Update@
