Tai'an City, the imperial capital, some people say that it is one city, and some people say that it is two cities, the dignitaries and dignitaries all live in the north of the city, and the cloth and clothes in the market live in the south of the city.

Until one day, a academy was opened in the south of Tai'an City, and the theory of nobility and cheapness in the north and south of the city was gradually not mentioned.

Even later, the frequency of BMW incense cars in and out of the south of the city was better than that in the north of the city.

Today, another carriage came to the south of the city.

The carriage was not a good car, the carriage was small and old, and even the wheels could faintly show traces of time.

The driver was an old driver who had lost his front teeth, as thin as a bamboo pole, and walking on the street would even make people have to worry about him, whether he would accidentally be blown away by the wind.

However, it was such a carriage and coachman, and when it drove into the south of the city, the BMW cars of the magnates actually rushed to avoid it.

Even the gentlemen who were usually used to riding horses were holding on to their horses, for fear that none of their horses would be careless and collide with the carriage and the coachman.

All this is simply because of the fact that this dilapidated carriage has a lantern hanging on it, and the lantern has a big "Zhang" character on it.

Of course, it is not this lantern that the dignitaries are afraid of, but the person represented behind this lantern.

In the Daqian Dynasty, he can really be called a powerful scholar.

He is the head of a hundred officials, above 10,000 people under one person, and he is also a model for scholars in the world, and he was once the most powerful contender for the academy's great sacrifice wine.

If he hadn't entered the court alone and vowed to find a way for the world's poor students to leap into the dragon gate, the current position of the academy's great sacrificial wine would probably also be his. He is Zhang Juyao, the first assistant of the dynasty.

When the first assistant of the dynasty came to visit, the nature of the companionship was not an ordinary person, the academy is now the big sacrificial wine, and the great Confucian Lu Chun personally waited in the "Dexin Pavilion" in the back mountain.

Dexin Dexin, only Dexin, but also contrasts with the identity of the two most important readers in the world.

Zhang Juyao sat on the stone chair in the pavilion, his hands in his big sleeves, and the mountain wind blew in his ears, blowing his gray sideburns.

Sitting across from him was Lu Chun, the current high priest of the academy who was five years older than him, who was also white, but he looked much younger than himself.

Looking at Lu Chun, who was cooking tea, Zhang Juyao suddenly asked, "Senior Brother Lu, what did you think when you said that the master often sat here back then?" ”

The two of them came out of the same school, and they both followed the former of the academy, Mr. Du Lao.

This question was very unreasonable, Lu Chun shook his head, and said with a smile: "I don't know, maybe the master is sitting here, not thinking about anything, but thinking about something." ”

"Do you want to think about something?" Zhang Juyao was thoughtful.

He patiently waited for Lu Chun to finish dividing the tea before he slowly spoke.

"Your Majesty intends to re-recall the general Qin Mu to return to the dynasty and join the main military department."

A simple sentence contains enough meaning to shake the whole world.

As the head of the twelve tiger generals of the Great Qian Dynasty, the general Qin Mu has been ordered to fight in the south of the town for more than five years, and he is also the only one among the twelve tiger generals who dares to shout with the martial king Zhao De.

In the past, when Qin Mu was in the court, he had repeatedly suggested that Emperor Gaozu withdraw the will of the hereditary replacement of the Wuwang Mansion.

It's just that at that time, it coincided with the desolate people of the Northern Wasteland going south, and the imperial court needed the thirteen cities in the north to resist the desolate people, so Qin Mu's proposal was delayed.

After Qin Mu was transferred from the center of the court, no one mentioned this discussion again.

The intention of transferring Qin Mu back this time is also very obvious.

"Sure enough, the last thing you want to see has emerged." Lu Chun was not surprised by this, obviously he had expected this result.

He sighed and said helplessly: "Your Majesty can't let go of the Thirteen Cities in the North after all, in fact, you and I both know in our hearts that if the North Border wants to rebel, it will be reversed back then." ”

The great sacrificial wine of the academy stood up, looked into the distance with a compassionate look, and said with emotion: "Qin Mu's return to the dynasty is bound to make the situation in the north continue to deteriorate, coupled with the fact that the crown prince has not been established, there is even more undercurrent in Tai'an City. ”

"Pity the people of the world, the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period, only after decades of peace, I am afraid that they will be involved in this unprovoked war again."

looked at the scholar in front of him who had threatened to "establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations".

Zhang Juyao took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and said slowly: "Actually, if Senior Brother wants the people of the world to no longer have to suffer from the disaster of war, this matter is not unsolvable. ”

"Oh?" Lu Chun turned his head, he was still not too surprised by this, it seemed that Zhang Juyao's statement had been expected, and he said lightly.

"What do you want to say?"

Zhang Juyao also stood up and walked to Lu Chun's side, the two stood side by side, and he continued.

"You and I both know that what Your Majesty is really worried about is not that Zhao De will rebel, but that the hereditary replacement of the Wuwang Mansion."

"If the title of King Wu comes to an end in Zhao De's hands, then naturally there is no need to worry about the affairs of the northern border."

He paused and continued: "As for the princes of Tai'an City, as long as I Zhang Juyao is in Tai'an City for a day, this Tai'an City will not be chaotic. ”

He said this very firmly, so sure that people couldn't question it at all.

Lu Chun naturally knew what he meant, and after he finished speaking, he slowly spoke: "So, you came to me today just to want the academy to do something for you?" ”

Zhang Juyao shook his head: "Definitely." ”

"I know that in the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhao De had preserved many reading seeds for the academy, and I would not let the academy do such an ungrateful thing."

He suddenly turned around and bowed to Lu Chun.

"I came here to tell my senior brother that I made a bet for the people of the world, no matter who wins or loses in this game, there will be fewer deaths in the world, and what the senior brother doesn't want will not happen."

He looked at Lu Chun with a firm look in his eyes, and slowly spoke, "I want to ask the academy to stay out of the matter." ”

Lu Chun stroked his beard, lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said with emotion: "It is really a big deal to decide the world with one person." ”

He narrowed his eyes and asked curiously, "What does Your Majesty mean?" Zhang Juyao shook his head again, and said lightly: "Your Majesty is old, this game is between me and Zhao De." ”

This sentence is very rebellious, but it is very certain.

Lu Chun glanced at this fellow disciple who was obviously five years younger than him, but had more gray hair than himself, and sighed lightly: "Do you know what will happen to you if this matter fails?" ”

Zhang Juyao said five words lightly: "Death, Yi three clans." His tone was flat, so flat that it was as if he wasn't talking about himself.

Lu Chun said softly: "This is also the reason why you let the academy stay out of the matter." Zhang Juyao nodded and said with a wry smile: "If you really need to shed blood to save the country and save the people, then it is enough for me to be a scholar." ”

"The righteousness of my generation of scholars must all depend on the inheritance of the senior brother."

Lu Chun was silent.

After a long time, Fang asked again.

"I heard that the bloody clothes building has been out of Beijing?"

Zhang Juyao nodded and chuckled: "If the bloody clothes house wants to wash its name, it is naturally the most positive. ”

He paused, as if thinking of something funny, and continued: "However, I just received the latest news that the Bloody Clothes Marquis is dead, and their dream of whitewashing may not come true. ”

"Dead?" Hearing this news, Lu Chun couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Zhang Juyao smiled and added: "I was still killed by someone with a sword." ”

Lu Chun's eyes widened: "Wei Wuxian is also a powerhouse in the Easy Realm, although he is not on the list of Langya masters, he also has the title of the number one killer in the world, who can kill him with one sword?" ”

Zhang Juyao squinted his eyes and said, "Senior brother is very surprised, right, when I heard the news, I was the same as senior brother." ”

"As for the person who killed the Bloody Cloth Marquis, I believe Senior Brother already has the answer in his heart." Lu Chun sighed with emotion: "I think that except for that one, I am afraid that the white-clothed sword immortal in Gucheng will have this ability in this world, but I didn't expect that this old-timer is still alive, and he also took action to contaminate this red dust." ”

His eyes were in a trance, and he recalled: "When the old master was alive, when he mentioned this old-timer, he also respected him very much. ”

As if thinking of something funny, he suddenly laughed again and added, "Of course, the premise is that the old man didn't come to the academy to steal wine. ”

"yes." Zhang Juyao also sighed: "The people who can be respected so much by the master can be counted on their fingers, I don't know how Zhao De invited this." ”

"However, I heard that the Wanli Dockyard has rushed over, and even the Heavenly Master's Mansion can't sit still."

"Heavenly Master's Mansion?" Lu Chun was dumbfounded, but after a little thought, he understood the reason: "I heard that there is a little uncle on Daochen Mountain who is determined to cultivate into a land immortal, and he was friendly with the prince of the northern realm before going up the mountain. ”

Zhang Juyao nodded: "That's right, the Heavenly Master's Mansion won't watch the first gate in the world that he fought so hard to change hands like this." ”

Lu Chun couldn't help but sigh: "Bloody Clothes Building, Wanli Dock, not to mention the Heavenly Master's Mansion, plus some hidden backhands, it seems that several princes in Tai'an City still have some means." ”

Zhang Juyao stroked his beard and smiled: "No matter how much means there are, it is just a chess piece, because there is only one chessboard, and there can only be two people who play chess." ”
