Linzi, the capital of Daqi.

Every brick and tile in the city reveals the vicissitudes of the times.

This city has stood for tens of thousands of years, and this city has given birth to many legendary stories.

For example, the Taoist sages have integrated many Taoist schools here, bringing together all the gods.

In addition to the religious center, it was also the political center of the Great Qi Empire.

This city saw the kingdom of Qi dominate the world and establish an empire.

Therefore, Linzi is the most prosperous city in Jiuzhou.

The highest terrain in the city is in the northeast corner, in addition to the topography, the soil has been built for many years, and a huge building complex has been piled up.

Palace.

The main hall of the great dynasty, luxurious and magnificent, glazed mandarin duck tiles, vermilion lacquer big red bar, Stanley stands up, carved beams and painted buildings, layers of marble are like steps to the sky, lift it, the whole hall is like the head of the dragon, look at the southwest, solemn and majestic.

On the main hall, four dragon pillars prop up the four corners, the outer fruit is red and golden, and the dragon pattern image is carved on it, lifelike, as if there is a soul in the middle.

In the main hall, the ministers stood on both sides, holding the board in their hands, and there was a row of monks in Taoist robes, led by an old Taoist priest, who was respectfully saluting the first old man.

The old man at the top has white hair and beard, but his eyes are deep and bright, and his posture is straight.

He sat upright on the dragon chair, with the dragon robe on his body, and he was intimidating.

He was the last king of the Qi state and the first emperor of the Qi dynasty.

He succeeded to the throne at the age of ten and experienced several court rebellions.

When he became an adult, he worshipped Taoist saints as his teacher, swept the world, unified the Central Plains, and called Emperor Kyushu.

It has been more than fifty years since the final fall of Shu.

Over the years, we have made great efforts to stabilize the situation and the people, and expand externally.

The life of this Great Qi Emperor was legendary, and even a monk who was out of the ordinary had to bow his head to him.

Although the emperor is old, he has experienced too much and seen too much.

It stands to reason that there is nothing in this world that can make him angry.

But now, he was furious and shouted a rebuke.

"Sword Pavilion County Guard, do you have nothing to do except eat, sleep, and marry a wife!? Gu Qiangqing died tragically, Yinfeng Mountain attacked, and now there is a ghost fairy popping out of Heluo Town! When will your resignation be sent to me!? ”

At the end of the hall, a middle-aged official knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty!"

The emperor was angry, everyone in the hall was in danger, and there was a sound of needles falling.

Even the Taoist priests in the monk queue were terrified and did not dare to speak out.

They knew that the emperor's fire was coming at them.

An old Taoist priest trembled out of the queue and saluted the Emperor of Great Qi.

"Your Majesty, our Dao system is incompetent, and we failed to detect the design of the Witch God Temple, which led to the chaos of the ghosts in Sword Pavilion County, please forgive your Majesty Taishou, if there is any problem, come to the old way."

The emperor was not angry at this time, he said with a pleasant face: "How can I be rude to the teacher, the teacher does not have to blame himself, the monks ask the immortals, fight with the heavens, how can there be kung fu to protect the peace of the mortal world on weekdays." ”

There were thorns in the words, and the monks' faces were not good-looking, but the old Taoist priest's face remained unchanged.

"Lao Dao once heard the Confucian Confucian sage say that there are stars above the nine heavens, and there are yellow springs under the nine earths.

The military generals of Wenchen looked at each other, they didn't expect that the Taoist sage would be so decisive and directly delegate power.

The old emperor shook his head: "Deal with demons, how can you Taoist monks have experience, the teacher doesn't need to say much, I will definitely live up to the oath of the year, one day, the Taoist system will be the state religion of Daqi, and I and the teacher share the world." ”

The Emperor's voice changed again.

"However, there are indeed too many things in Jiange County recently, there are poisonous people who violate the ban, and there are witch temples to make trouble, why don't you set up the Huangquan Division in Jiange County first to assist the Daotong and the people, can the teacher have a candidate to propose?"

"Yang Jian, a Mahayana realm monk, served in the Dao system when he was young, and His Majesty also saw it, and then when he got older, he chose to retire, but his family is in Jiange County, and he is familiar with the local situation, which is very suitable."

As soon as the old Taoist priest's voice fell, a Wenchen walked out: "Your Majesty can't, with the official system of Daqi, officials are not allowed to serve in their hometown and surrounding counties." ”

The emperor waved his hand: "Huangquan Division is a special case, if the mage does not understand the local situation, how to deal with the demons?" Is the teacher's proposal reasonable, yes, and someone to recommend? ”

The emperor said, but his eyes looked at the position of the head of the ministers and the prime minister.

The prime minister was a middle-aged man, tall with two ears and shoulders.

He walked out of the queue and said, "Since Your Majesty doesn't care about avoiding questions, then there is a candidate for the minister."

This person's surname is Kong Han'an, and he is a down-and-out scholar in Heluo Town, who has no knowledge, but he unexpectedly won the favor of the earth god.

When Yinfeng Mountain invaded Heluo Town, he helped the county order stabilize the people's hearts, and when King Shu Wen awakened, he helped Gu Qiang Yingling to guard Heluo Town, which may be useful. ”

The emperor's expression was sad: "Gu Qiangqing...... Alas, before his death, he guarded one side for me, and after his death, he also blessed my people, I am sorry for him, I ordered all counties in Jiange County to build temples for Gu Qiang, and at the end of June every year, organize the people to worship! ”

As soon as the words changed, the emperor continued to ask: "Then Kong Han'an, can he collude with the local heroes?" ”

The prime minister said: "According to the county order, the Xu family has tried to establish diplomatic relations with Kong Han'an many times, but Kong Han'an has avoided it many times, and Xu Meng finally saw it, and when he came out of Kong's mansion, his face was full of anger, and he seemed to be humiliated. ”

The emperor nodded: "Kong Han'an, that's good...... His surname is Kong, can he have a relationship with the prime minister? ”

The prime minister bowed and said: "The minister doesn't remember that there is such a relative, if Your Majesty cares, the minister will go home and let people check the family tree." ”

The emperor nodded and said: "It's okay, if there is a relationship, you can recognize it, there is a Confucian sage as a relative, and the down-and-out scholar can also be a pillar of the country, and the teacher can have an opinion?" ”

It turned out that this prime minister was actually a Confucian sage today.

The old Taoist priest seemed to be about to fall asleep on the side, and only when he heard the call did he come back to his senses and said, "Is Kong Han'an?" We have also heard of Kong Han'an, but he and the Yang family are a little dirty, and Yang Lin, the son of the Yang family, lost his soul because of his disfigurement, and he and Yang Jian were officials in the same dynasty, which seems inappropriate. ”

The emperor laughed: "Young man, some blood is normal, it's okay.

Xuan, Jiange County set up the Huangquan Division, Yang Jian is the positive, Kong Hanan is the deputy, and the people are recruiting on their own, so be it......"

Jun is not joking, the matter has been decided, and the establishment of a new yamen in a county does not seem to be a big deal in Daqi.

Soon, a new minister came out to report on other matters and await the judgment.

In the middle of the day, the dynasty ended, Baiguan Mountain shouted long live, and the hall was soon empty.

The Confucian sage helped the Taoist sage and walked out.

"The teacher is so calculating, taking retreat as advance, so that His Majesty will not be able to mention the matter of moving the capital again."

The Taoist sage is old, and he did have a master-apprentice relationship with the Confucian sage, so the Confucian Confucian sage is also very respectful to him.

"Hehe, you're not bad, this Huangquan Prison will definitely be established in the future, recognize you as a relative, you Confucianism will help you, Jiange County, I'm afraid that I have to let that Confucian kid be in charge."
