Ningdu is a thousand-year-old capital, a place where the world's markets are connected, and the world's most solid fortress.

There are 11 streets in the north and south of the city, 14 streets in the east and west, crisscrossing and crisscrossing the outer city of the imperial capital, dividing the outer city of the imperial capital into 110 squares, Fengqi Garden is the royal forbidden garden, occupying two squares, and it is actually 108 squares. The whole city takes the central Hongque Street as the central axis, and divides the outer city into two parts, east and west. There are 55 squares in the east, except for the two squares occupied by Fengqi Garden, which is actually 53 squares; There are 55 squares to the west. Basically, the east and west sides are symmetrical, equal to each other, and the left and right sides are the same.

There is Jingzhao Mansion in the imperial capital, and Wannian County and Tai'an County are placed below. The two counties are bounded by Hongque Street, and the east is under the management of Wannian County, under the jurisdiction of 53 square Katong City.

At dusk, Pingkang Liquor Shop, an old shop built along the river, is famous for its home-brewed peach blossom brew.

The dusk is a little stuffy, the small wine shop is full, and those who have no seats are leaning on the railing, and the small wine shop is like a steamer.

Out of nowhere, a man in a cyan robe came out, with a tall figure, long hair and a shawl, handsome and elegant, a gentle and elegant young man with a good demeanor.

"Smack!" The liquor shop, which was still noisy in itself, immediately became quiet.

Xingmu patted it, and the storyteller's temperament changed, and he said loudly: "Let's pick up the last time, the last time I said that Cui Tang, the disciple of Lianxi, won the power of Mr. Lianxi by shameless means, and set aside six parts, and his crime is really punished!" ”

"Since Cui Tang seized power, the power leaned towards the government and the opposition, and it was even imitated, the joke that Daqin pointed to the deer as a horse back then, and the princes and nobles of the world today are even more deceived and concealed, and I am in danger......"

In the early morning, two black shadows in Shangbing City went to the imperial capital at great speed, outside the north gate of the imperial capital, there were already many officials waiting for Cui Tang, looking at the official robes, many ministers with real power, a beautiful carriage stopped at the north city gate, countless soldiers surrounded the car, bowed their heads, and the atmosphere was solemn and awe-inspiring.

A teenager who seems to be no more than twenty, the boy is full of spirit, only he is curious about the car, and wants to go up and touch it, but in his eyes it is not awe but ambition.

There was a row of officials on both sides, and they quickly pulled the young man's hand back, and said with a look of consternation: "You don't want to die?" That's the emperor's chariot, if you move again, you have to cut off your hand! ”

As soon as he said that, Cui Tang and the martial saint stepped into the air.

Dressed in white and fluttering gently, Cui Tang returned to his original appearance as a son of the family, if it weren't for the difference, then there would only be a trace of imperceptible strategy, which could also be called the city government.

Several officials knelt down one after another and said, "Villain, meet the emperor." ”

The boy looked left and right, and still knelt down.

Cui Tang smiled silently, waved his hand lightly, and the princes in the court got up cautiously.

Cui Tang personally stepped forward, gentle and awe-inspiring, stretched out his hand and said softly: "Child, would you like me to go to the same car?" ”

The young man was a little shocked at this time, not to mention, Cui Tang always shocked the young man's soul intentionally or unintentionally, even if Cui Tang fell, it was not something that ordinary people could resist.

The princes looked at each other, and they didn't know what to do.

Cui Tang chuckled, "Come on, kid! ”

The young man looked left and right and wanted to seek a helping hand, but the rest of the officials leaned over at this time, not daring to look up, let alone helping a young man he had never met.

The young man's mind sank, and then he had to carefully board the car.

Cheyu slowly stepped into the imperial capital.

At this time, the storyteller was still talking about how Cui Tang sought authority and deceived the teacher to destroy the ancestors, the emperor of the previous dynasty of the Ning Dynasty, perhaps because the Qing history of the Ning Dynasty was too corrupt to leave a name for the previous dynasty, and I have to say that the historians of the Ning Dynasty have excellent writing, and everything that has anything to do with the Emperor of the Great Qin of the previous dynasty, even if he is illiterate, he has to open his eyes and be furious! Not to mention that seven or eight out of ten civil officials in the court of the Ning Dynasty have written and criticized Cui Tang, and in the long run, Cui Tang has gradually lost the support of the people in the imperial capital.

"Hey, Lin Gongzi, I heard that Cui Tang is going to enter the imperial city from the north city gate, and he happened to pass by our wine shop, so it is better to take Lao Tzu's hundred-pound heavy knife directly, and directly give it to the most lively East Market, and give him a knife to scrape!"

The storyteller in the hall smiled slightly: "I have a talent like the Song butcher in the Ning Dynasty, and I will definitely be very prosperous, Brother Song, I don't know how to drink when I am young, but today's words come to my heart, and I have to be respectful if I am not respectful today!" ”

The strong man then laughed, drank the liquor in his hand, and drank it all.

Slowly the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the chariot was inlaid with gold and silver, so it was very heavy, which is why the horses of the princes and nobles were so short-lived, and they had long lost the elegance of the four hooves churning and the long mane flying.

The carriage drove slowly through the streets, the horses' hooves staggered, a loud cry in their noses, a breath of white air, and a long neigh.

Cui Tang gently lifted the curtain, and the front of it was the self-brewed peach blossom wine shop.

Cui Tang looked at it coldly, and his momentum was crushed in vain, and the entire wine shop was originally like a steamer, but it was quiet in an instant, but at this time, it was like falling into an ice cave.

After a while, Cui Tang turned his face and chuckled: "It's nothing, you talk about yours." ”

It was still a second-grade official on the side, so he turned the corner and said in a low voice: "Emperor, I'll drive them away." ”

"Slow" Cui Tang waved his hand to rebuke the official, "You stand down!" ”

"Villain, obey the emperor."

Cui Tang slowly got out of the car and said with a gentle face: "You are the famous Lin Gongzi, you have such literary talent at a young age, you are really a new star in the literary world of my Ning Dynasty." ”

The storyteller ignored Cui Tang, looked at the entire wine shop, the entire street, and the people were already silent.

Fang Cai said coldly: "It's just a grass people, it's not worth the emperor's praise." ”

Cui Tang smiled and waved his hand, "You said that you are a grass people, you are really modest, look at it, everyone in this world wants to kill me, but who really dares to kill me?" They are afraid of me, afraid of me, with you as a weak scholar, a stinky Confucian with clean sleeves, you are not worthy of my fight. ”

The storyteller stayed in the hall and was stunned for a long time.

Cui Tang still said to himself: "A thousand years ago, in the era of the gods, the Son of Heaven was respected, like a puppet, the kings fought chaotically, and countless peerless talents in the past four hundred years were broken and sunk in the sand, and the superior only increased the killing, you said that the Great Qin Emperor was mediocre, and Changping slaughtered more than 400,000 soldiers, since the Great Qin Emperor succeeded to the throne, the world seems to have become more war-torn, breaking the mandate of heaven, and making the world panic, but if the Great Qin retreats, there are countless princes in the world, and the war has to be delayed for more than 400 years, ten years of slaughter to level the world, or a hundred years of mercy and sorrow? ”

The storyteller retorted: "If Emperor Qin didn't aspire to unify the world and take the great good as his own responsibility, wouldn't there be a better ending for this world?" ”

Cui Tang smiled and waved his hand: "You don't understand this world, you don't understand the control of the ethereal immortals, don't talk about this for the time being, the old man has often heard of you these days, and I heard that several Confucians in Bailu Cave have praised you as the emerging literary world in Daning. ”

The storyteller frowned, gave everyone in the wine shop a look in a dark way, and then boarded the car on his own.

"I don't know, what does the emperor have to teach the grass people?"

"Naturally, it is to discuss what you said, what is a loyal minister, what is a traitor, and what is a powerful minister!"

"Oh, for the courtiers to be loyal and righteous, those with clean sleeves are loyal ministers, disloyal and unrighteous for the courtiers, seeking national wealth, harming the world, deceiving the upper and lower to control the court are traitorous ministers, the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, and those who are rude and law-abiding are the ministers!"

Cui Tang stroked his beard and said, "What you said is really good, but you are wrong after all." ”

"There are three courtiers in this world, loyal to the king, loyal to the country, and loyal to me!"

When the storyteller heard this, he was furious and said, "Arrogance! ”

Cui Tang shrugged his shoulders and said, "You say I'm a traitor, but I did something to betray the country and seek glory to harm the world?" It is true that I am a powerful minister, and the master and apprentice control the court, and it is true that the rude sect is not false, but others will not understand the avenue I walked. ”

"But you, if you want to be a loyal minister, who is loyal to what?"

"Naturally, he is loyal to the monarch and the country!"

"Loyalty to the monarch and loyalty to the country can't be confused."

Then Cui Tang paused and said: "Loyal to the monarch or not loyal to the country, if His Majesty's son breaks the law, what should you do?" ”

The storyteller pondered for a while and said: "The law of Daning, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people!" ”

Cui Tang smiled, "Daning's law was created by His Majesty, in this world, the imperial power is the worst, you are a loyal minister of the world, it stands to reason that this kind of person generally will not live long." ”

"Why don't I give you a trick, pick one out of the condemned prisoners, kill it, and share your Majesty's worries, even if it harms the people, this is just a loyal minister, such a person may live for a long time, but it is really not good-looking to leave a name in history."

"Let me give you another example, if you want you to die, you have to die, you let you eat the flesh and bones of his descendants, drink the blood of your descendants, you must be like this, prostrate emperor, this is the "minister"! ”

The storyteller said in a deep voice: "Tiger poison does not eat children!" ”

"After a while, you won't think so."

"Both carry a loyal word, what do you say is a loyal minister?"

After the words fell, the storyteller also bowed his head and pondered silently.

"Alas, do you know why there is such a thing as emperorism, everything has a neutralization, in the emperor's mind is the check and balance, if there are more loyal monarchs, the world will inevitably die, and if there are many loyal to the world, where is the majesty of the emperor? Dynasties will fall. The God King of Qingshi seems to be close to the people, but in fact, the majesty of the emperor is indispensable, how Zhou Tianzi died, not only the Mandate of Heaven, but also the god-like majesty among the foolish people was gone, and those who are loyal to the monarch must not be without those who are loyal to the country! ”

"And who are you?"

Cui Tang pondered for a while and said, "It's been too long, I don't even know it myself."

"It seems that I should also be regarded as a loyal minister of the world," Cui Tang's eyes were deep and he looked at the ethereal.

"Worship me as a teacher, I will help you achieve the first of a hundred officials, don't you also have a great talent, only I can help you, this world, only by becoming a powerful minister, can you display your ambitions!"

"I'd rather die than crawl with you!"

Cui Tang sighed deeply, looked sad and miserable, and waved his hand.

The official who followed the car immediately understood, and hurriedly signaled the soldier next to him to take down the storyteller.

The storyteller's face remained unchanged, but he said angrily: "You little people! I won't let you wait if I'm a ghost in the future! ”

Cui Tang sighed, I am afraid that there is another corpse in the moat of this imperial capital.

The butcher with a faceless face slowly picked up the butcher knife in his hand, and it stands to reason that the butcher's knife is the sharpest when sprinkling water, splitting hair and breaking hair.

The butcher drew his sword in rage, and his strike was swift and swift, with the sound of a violent wind

The ministers and their armorers all stretched out their hands to stop the sharp blade, but when their hands touched the butcher's knife, they could see red, and on the wounds, there was still a lot of venom to corrode the body, and everyone was horrified, and the sword was poisonous! I understood that it was powerful, and I no longer used my hands to touch the sword.

He is like a hopeless thief, but Cui Tang is so high that he doesn't bother to look at him. He rushed left and right like a wolf and a tiger, but that was just the last ferocity of the beast, there was still a big distance between him and Cui Tang, and the martial saint would definitely not let it develop, but although he was full of flesh, he was still not a martial arts person, compared to it, even if he was a nine-rank monk, it was more than that.

The wrath of the horseman, five steps of blood splattering!

Everyone present was horrified, except for a few wisps of blood in the breeze with the smell of blood, and corpses on the whole street.

Cui Tang was slightly disappointed, the imperial capital armor is not ordinary, but it is also so weak, there is really no high hope.

Cui Tang casually condensed a wisp of true qi into the palm of his hand, and with a "snap" palm, the powerful true qi shocked an assassin to vomit blood, and he retreated and died.

His body shook so hard that he could barely stand still. Suddenly, he fell heavily and fell into the winery, bleeding from his mouth.
