Drive all the way to the east, through the city of Tsuchihara, there are some small villages scattered on the road, from the civil strife in Toba a hundred years ago to the present, people recuperate and recuperate, and gradually become rich, but there are more and more corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the incidents of shouting grievances and grievances occur frequently in various places, the Toba royal family is content to enjoy themselves, and the government and government are controlled by the powerful, and it seems that the Toba country will not be calm for long.

At that time, the Tahe family took advantage of the domestic chaos to launch a mutiny, and finally drove the descendants of the Shenwu Emperor out of power and seized power, and the Mo family was also imprisoned and assassinated a large number of direct children, and the descendants of the Mo family gradually disappeared from the public. And there is no capable monarch, sooner or later it will be over, look at Prince Grumtahe, narrow-minded and timid as a mouse, but this generation is just this one prince, and the Tahe family has no successor.

I was thinking about it alone, but the convoy slowly entered the Longmen Pass, which is the territorial boundary between the countries of Suzurou and Toba, each heavily guarded, and although skirmishes occur from time to time, there has never been a large-scale or local war.

Stop and go to Pingcheng, this is the largest city in the west of Shuiro, prosperous business, singing and dancing, it is the favorite gathering place of businessmen of Shuirou and Turkey, the most in the city is the Goolan brothel and casino, the three religions and nine streams are mixed, because it is the only way to go to the Tobo country, so there are many people who smuggle and flee.

Bao Huaide talked to me all the way about the customs and the domestic situation. Now the new emperor has only been on the throne for three years, the new emperor Shui Nanxing can not convince the public, he also has a younger brother named Shui Wuji, holding heavy troops, the king of the north of the town, has been guarding the area of Jingbei Mansion, is the barrier of the north of the Shui Rou country, mainly to resist the invasion of the northern nomads. The new emperor saw the king of Zhenbei several times, but Shui Wuji ignored it and kept saying that he was sick and did not return. Because they are brothers, they can't cause civil strife, so they won't be over.

The auxiliary ministers in the court were divided into two factions, the reform faction represented by Liu An, the prime minister, advocated the elimination of historical governance, the revision of laws, the reform of taxation, and the support of agricultural business.

On the other hand, the conservative faction, led by the elder Pang Taishi of the two dynasties, advocated increasing taxes, expanding the army, vigorously developing the national defense and military industry, and joining forces to fight against the Jinyu Kingdom in the northeast.

I am also speechless, reckless military will only lose the hearts of the people, governance should still focus on the people's livelihood, so that the people can live a good life is fundamental, so reform is imperative, but without a strong monarch support, it will inevitably be difficult. The national defense and military industry should also be developed, but the demand for refinement rather than seeking more, now there is no war on the border, just to vigorously develop the economy, the war is money, no money everything is empty talk.

Soon arrived at Xijing, the capital of Shuirou Kingdom, the emperor had already received the news, and led hundreds of civil and military officials to greet him in the inner city, Bao Huaide and Shuiyue and others immediately knelt down and shouted: "Weichen knocks to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live." "Xiaoyu was about to kneel down and was pulled by me, I don't have the habit of kneeling, I just bowed my hand, Xiaoyu can only learn from my appearance and pose, but it is a bit nondescript.

The emperor raised his hand and said: "Everyone loves Qing's body." Then he walked up to me and said: "This must be the new dragon god of the Megatron country, the last generation of the dragon god of my Shui Rou country disappeared a hundred years ago, and there has been no news, and now there is finally a new generation of dragon gods appearing, and my Shui Rou country will definitely be blessed with the sky and the world." I hurriedly arched my hand and said: "The grass people see Your Majesty, the grass people are only the descendants of the dragon god's predecessors, and they don't dare to call themselves the dragon god, but the grass people, as a member of the Shui Rou country, will do their best for the country and the people." Emperor Longyan Dayue: "Okay, my Shuirou country has such a heroic figure, it will rise, the widow has prepared a thin wine for you to pick up the wind and wash the dust, Mr. Long, please." I hurriedly returned the salute: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Entering the palace hall, the emperor sat on the dragon's head, and the other officials were in groups of three or five, each occupying a seat. The emperor picked up his glass and said: "This time, Princess Shuiyue can return to my side again, thanks to the help of the young hero Long Liuyun, everyone, let us pay tribute to the Dragon Princess, the blessing of the Shui Rou country, and the blessing of the society!" Please drink this cup to the full, and do it" Everyone shouted in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

I heard that my head hurt, I am not used to this chewing words, there are too many messy rules, so I started to pretend to be drunk as soon as I drank two glasses, and then went to sleep, and no one shouted at me.

After three rounds of drinking, I don't know why, Liu An and Pang Taishi argued again, and the emperor made peace from it, but no one listened to the two gangs. I was a little annoyed and slapped the table and stood up: "Shut up the fuck for Lao Tzu, who dares to say a word more, Lao Tzu screwed his head off, I tell you, in Shuirou Kingdom, the emperor has the final say, I will only recognize the emperor, and whoever dares to chirp crookedly will kill him." But I heard a person next to Pang Taishi shouting: "Bold, how can you have the final say in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty?" I didn't speak, and with a wave of one hand, the man slammed into the pillar in the air, spitting blood, staring at his eyes and burping.

Everyone trembled, and I said, "I repeat, I only recognize the emperor, and I am very optimistic about my emperor's policy of governing the country. After speaking, I bowed to the emperor again and said, "Your Majesty, the grass people are not strong enough to drink, so they will retire first." The emperor smiled: "Okay, Liuyun, you go down to rest first, I have my own arrangements for your reward." ”

As soon as I left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Taishi Pang even shouted: "It's so arrogant, it's almost unsightly." The emperor glanced at him and said, "No one is allowed to discuss in vain, and those who violate the order will be beheaded." The Manchu civil and military forces all shut up.

Emperor Shui Nanxing was also secretly happy, he used to take Lao Tzu's words as a deaf ear, why didn't he jump now? Haha, we gave birth to a good daughter! With the support of a son-in-law, it is a cow, and it works to speak. Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "Passing the decree, General Fenglongliu Yun Wuwei, from the third grade, leads the post of deputy commander of the left guard of the guards." ”

I casually threw it aside when I received the holy decree, Xiaoyu quickly picked it up and said, "Brother, this is a holy decree, you can't throw it around." I slapped my forehead: "If you don't throw it away, will you still offer it?" It's just a piece of waste paper, what a general, a commander, I don't have time to go to work. ”

was saying that Shui Yue came running: "Brother Liuyun, Sister Xiaoyu, do you want to go out and play together?" There is a Phoenix Mountain in the south of Xijing, do you want to see it? Xiaoyu hurriedly replied: "Okay, okay, suffocated at home." "I just wanted to go out for a walk and agreed, it was quite far, I walked for at least an hour in a carriage, along the bluestone steps all the way, lined with green trees, which can't help but remind me of the experience of running around in Xiangyang Zhenwu Mountain when I was a child, this Phoenix Mountain is not high, but it has been stretching for dozens of miles to the south, it is not small, some small birds fly around in the forest, and occasionally there will be a squirrel running out.

Shuiyue introduced me to the legend of Phoenix Mountain all the way: "In the legend, there is a phoenix injured and flew to this mountain, bathing in the Tianchi on the top of the mountain, and then the Tianchi was renamed Phoenix Pool, and this mountain was also renamed Phoenix Mountain, it is said that there is the blood of the phoenix in the Tianchi, after bathing, it can prolong life and strengthen the body, but it has been classified as a forbidden place by Shuirou Country, no one is allowed to enter and exit, and the only master of Yijin Realm in Shuirou Country Fang Yixuan is stationed here. Some people also say that there are heavenly treasures under the Tianchi, so it is very mysterious. ”

Hearing Shui Yue say this, I was very moved, no, I have to find a way to go in and have a look. So I said, "Suigetsu, is there any place where I can sneak in?" I want to check it out. Shui Yue thought for a while and said: "The front is heavily guarded, but the back is a cliff, and there is a wall on the edge of the cliff, so it's not easy to sneak in." I said, "It's all right, we'll go up from the back tomorrow, and today I'll prepare the tools first, and I'll go up first and then pull you up with a rope." After discussing it, everyone played for a while and then went home.

Now the place where I live is still rewarded by the emperor, and it is not too big, but the courtyard is full of small bridges and flowing water, rockery pavilions, flowers and trees.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I met a few guards, and one of the guards arched his hand and said, "Mr. Long, the head of the Long family, Long Jinghong, has invited Mr. Long to come over to the house." I looked at the sky, and estimated that it was still dark and said to Xiaoyu and Shui Yue: "You go back to rest first, and I'll go to Long's house for a walk." ”

There were already guards who brought the carriage, and there were not many steps away, so I knew what carriage to take? Wouldn't it be okay to just walk around? Bring sand to the beach. Entering the house, an old man with a strong body came forward: "Liuyun, welcome home, the old man Long Jinghong, temporarily acting as the head of the Long family, I don't know which lineage of my Long family is Liuyun?" I replied with a salute and said: "The head of the Long family, the younger generation is actually not surnamed Long, my real name is Hua Liuyun, but I accidentally got the inheritance of the predecessor of the Dragon God, and in order to deter the Tubo Kingdom, I temporarily lied about the surname Long." Long Jinghong was stunned: "Surname Hua?" Isn't it the flower family of one of the four major families? I was surprised this time: "Is the Hua family also one of the four major families?" I don't know! I don't know. ”

Long Jinghong looked disappointed: "I see, that's also the heir of my Long family, please come with me and have a cup of tea in the guest room to have a good chat." ”

Passing by the hall, several teenage boys were beating a ragged teenager, and they were scolding: "Cheap, your mother is a subordinate, and she dares to talk back to Lao Tzu, she can't beat you to death." The young man held his head and shouted, "I'm not a cheap race, my mother is the best woman in this world, and I'm sorry for her." One of the teenagers kicked several times: "Let you say my father, I will kick you to death." ”

Long Jinghong coughed dryly, and the boys turned around and immediately changed their faces and shouted in unison: "The head of the family" Long Jinghong said angrily: "How many times have I told you?" The Long family prohibits infighting, Long Feng is your younger brother, take my words as a deaf ear? Punish you to think about the wall of the hall, Long Feng, you go to the Long Family Medical Center to have a look, and I will arrange for someone to go with you."

After instructing the subordinates, Long Jinghong turned his head and said to me: "Let Liuyun smile, Long Jingyun is my younger brother, I fell in love with my mother's personal maid ring in my early years, that is, Long Feng's mother, and later married into the door as a concubine, and now it is a mess."
