Chapter 77: Tempting a Thief

This governor of Jizhou looks like he is in his forties, with a short beard, and he can be called a sword eyebrow, and he belongs to a handsome uncle who looks pleasing to the eye, and he looks very temperamental under the backdrop of a gorgeous dress.

Zhong Yangming recalled that the governor of Jizhou was named Xia Yangshu, who was born in a big family, and seemed to have taken the top prize.

But Zhong Yangming doesn't remember more specific information, Zhong Yangming didn't participate in every early dynasty, and the two had never met.

"I've seen the Governor."

Zhong Yangming bowed his hand politely.

was so rude, Xia Yangshu didn't care at all, warmly beckoned Zhong Yangming to sit down, and poured wine for him personally.

Xia Yangshu raised his glass and said to Zhong Yangming: "Dao Chang is young, and it is really rare in the world to have such ability. Xia admired, this cup was drunk first as a respect. ”

Zhong Yangming was not afraid that he would poison the wine.

After cultivating immortals, Zhong Yangming did not say that all poisons would not invade, but ordinary poisons would make him diarrhea at most, and if he wanted to be fatal, he would have to take hundreds of times the dose.

Therefore, Zhong Yangming also drank it all and said politely: "Your Excellency the Governor has won the prize." ”

Xia Yangshu said: "It's not at all, Xia is also a person who practices martial arts, although martial arts are common, but you can also see the high and low." This sword technique is earth-shattering, and it is not a mortal martial art at all. I don't know which spiritual mountain I practiced on? Xia is going to Shangzhu incense and ask for peace and security. ”

It's not surprising that I started to inquire about my origins.

Zhong Yangming also wanted to inquire about the news from Xia Yangshu's mouth, so naturally he would not mention Xuanxuanguan, so he lied: "The barren mountain of Xiaodao cultivation has no name, nor is it a famous mountain scenery, living in a thatched hut on the top of the mountain, and there is no Sanqing Patriarch who can incense adults." However, the heart of the adult's fist, I believe that the gods can see it, and it will definitely make the adult get his wish. ”

Xia Yangshu showed a surprised expression when he heard Zhong Yangming say this, and asked, "Is the Daoist cultivating alone?" Isn't it a famous teacher who pointed out? ”

Zhong Yangming replied: "No, Xiaodao has not apprenticed, what kind of swordsmanship is this, it is just a small trick that he figured out." ”

"That's really a genius, it's really an honor for Xia to meet Dao Chang today......"

Xia Yangshu has always been very polite, and kept persuading Zhong Yangming to eat and drink, as if he really just invited him to get to know him, and he didn't get to the point for a long time. But Zhong Yangming didn't feel irritable, because the meal was really good, and it tasted better than the one in the palace.

Zhong Yangming hadn't tasted this kind of delicate dish for a long time, and he was full of delicious flavor.

Seeing Zhong Yangming's wandering appearance, Xia Yangshu began to believe that he was a Taoist practicing in the deep mountains, and this gluttonous performance could not be pretended.

As for Zhong Yangming's appearance of fine skin and tender flesh, it can only be said to be a manifestation of successful practice, after all, he has practiced the swordsmanship that shocked the world, and his internal cultivation must be extremely powerful, the stronger the internal strength, the younger he looks, and many famous martial arts people also look like cranes and children.

This discovery made Xia Yangshu breathe a sigh of relief, it is good to be from the rivers and lakes, and now he can carry out the next step of the trial.

Halfway through the wine, Xia Yang asked without a trace: "I heard that the Taoist won the gold medal of the martial arts conference, and I think I am ready to fight for this first place." The original intention of this martial arts conference was to select talents for the imperial court and use them to deal with those bandits who came and went. As long as there is no more than the military attache position of the fourth grade, Xia can help recommend. ”

When Zhong Yangming heard this, he explained: "Your Excellency the Governor has misunderstood, I am not here to ask for an official. To be honest, I just passed by Qi County and found that there was a martial arts conference here, so I came to join in the fun, maybe I might not be on stage to fight for anything. ”

Xia Yangshu said suspiciously: "Dao Chang is unwilling to serve the imperial court? Now that bandits are everywhere, it is the time when a master like the Taoist is needed to ask for the lives of the people. ”

Zhong Yangming shook his head and said: "People in the mountains and wilderness don't know how to be officials, and they are most afraid that they will be dragged out to play the board within two days of going to the court." ”

Xia Yangshu smiled heartily and said, "Dao Commander doesn't need to worry, the fourth-rank officials generally don't go to court, as long as they do their part." However, I can also understand that the people of the rivers and lakes do have a lot of opinions about the imperial court, and there are many who do not want to be officials. It's just that if you are not satisfied with this world, why do you stand idly by? It's better to change it with your own hands, this is the real hero. ”

Zhong Yangming felt that Xia Yangshu meant something, and now that he had eaten, it was time to have a main meal, so he said to Xia Yangshu: "Lord Governor, you can't talk nonsense, who dares to be dissatisfied with the imperial court?" ”

"Yuji Daoist, the Ming people don't say dark words, if there is chaos today, if everyone is satisfied with the court, how can there be so many rebellions. If the imperial court continues to close its eyes and ears, the country will definitely be out of the country in less than two years. ”

Xia Yangshu said with righteous indignation, and he really looked like a good official with the world in mind.

Zhong Yangming persuaded: "Your Excellency, it's not easy to talk nonsense. ”

Xia Yangshu seemed to be drunk, poured himself a glass of wine again, and said with a flushed face: "What's not to say, Dao Chief, you are from the rivers and lakes, I am not afraid of being an official, are you still afraid of the court to blame?" To tell the truth, who can't see the chaos in the world? But do you know where this calamity began? ”

When Xia Yangshu said this, his eyes were fixed on Zhong Yangming, as long as Zhong Yangming showed a little interest, he would say something that could be called a big rebellion.

But Xia Yangshu never expected that Zhong Yangming said casually: "Since you want to talk about national affairs, then I will also give up my life to accompany the gentleman."

"What else can be the reason for the chaos in this world, naturally it is that the emperor did too much when he grabbed the dragon chair. Although this dynasty originally had a cycle, and it must get worse and worse in the future, but now this emperor is too anxious, ruthless and rough, and has advanced this chaos by several decades.

"If he is in good health, it is better to say, maybe he can stabilize the situation, but it's a pity that his body collapsed too quickly, and he couldn't repair the original hole if he couldn't control the scene, and it has become bigger and bigger over the years, and it can't be repaired."

Xia Yangshu looked at Zhong Yangming in shock, such insight can be said by a person in the rivers and lakes?

"Daoist Yuji, you know so much about the general trend of the imperial court? This is not like a Taoist who cultivates in the mountains and wilderness. Xia Yangshu said in surprise.

Zhong Yangming said: "Do you still need to understand this? Don't take the people of the charlatans for fools, Governor. After the emperor ascended the throne, how many governors of Kyushu in the world changed? The news of the announcement of the emperor's list, there is no need to inquire about this matter, as long as there is no one who knows how to read, right? ”

Xia Yangshu's doubts were dispelled, this matter is indeed known to everyone in the world.

Zhong Yangming continued: "The officials of the feudal territory have all been replaced in a few years, do you think that the officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee who were originally close to them can not be replaced? Six Shangshu and Prime Minister, how many have they changed before and after? You don't need to ask about this, you can remember it with a little attention.

"Your Excellency the Governor, you don't think they're all old enough to return to their hometowns, right? How did you retreat, do you still need to think about it? ”

As soon as these words came out, Xia Yangshu was silent.

He never thought that he was just here to test Zhong Yangming, and he tried to be a thief.

However, it is better to be a thief.
