Although Zhong Yangming's words are very rebellious, they are indeed very reasonable.

You don't need to be in the court to know these news, but most of the people in the rivers and lakes ignore it, and even if they hear about it, they may not be able to think of it so much.

"How did you know about the emperor's poor health?" Xia Yangshu asked.

Although the civil and military officials all knew that the emperor was not in good health, there was rarely such news among the people, and this Taoist priest could say it so surely, but he was afraid that there would be no other source of information.

Zhong Yangming seemed to have a draft for a long time, and continued: "Because in recent years, there has been news among the people that the emperor is going to Xuanxuguan to pass on the throne to the crown prince, but this has been passed on for many years, but there has been no new emperor on the throne.

"If the emperor is in good health, will such a ruthless emperor allow these news to spread indiscriminately for a few years? In this great drought in the south of the Yangtze River, the imperial court has even dragged on a disaster relief charter for so long, unlike the emperor's ruthless and decisive style back then, either he is not in good health or he is old and confused. ”

Xia Yangshu didn't expect Zhong Yangming to answer like this, these are indeed news that has been widely circulated among the people, but this little Taoist priest can accurately judge the general trend of the court from the clues, it is not an ordinary Jianghu person.

There are so many strange things in this folk, I thought I just met a master, but I didn't expect that he was still a military teacher with vision and foresight.

It's rare, it's so rare.

Xia Yangshu felt that his original plan needed to be adjusted, and the Daoist in front of him could be of great use after being brought over.

"Daoist Jade, do you know that these are the words you are talking about?" Xia Yangshu asked.

Zhong Yangming said with a smile: "Your Excellency Governor, this is what you asked me to say, and now it is unreasonable to say that I am rebellious." ”

"Hahaha, the Taoist chief is right, Xia Mou punished himself with a cup."

Xia Yangshu took the wine jug, poured himself a full glass, and then drank it all in one gulp.

After a drink, Xia Yangshu said jokingly again: "Daoist, you don't have to worry, there are only the two of us here." When we got out of the Wanqing Pavilion, no one knew what we talked about, and it wasn't that we made a note for the alliance, and no one would believe it when we said it. So you and I don't need to worry about talking freely tonight. Come, we will not get drunk and will not return. ”

Zhong Yangming also drank a few glasses, and the two of them cherished each other and hated each other.

Zhong Yangming is not completely pretending, this rebellious attitude is not pretending to be ordinary people, although Xia Yangshu must have something hidden, but his views on the world coincide with Zhong Yangming in many places.

For example, this big dry is really rotten, this is the consensus of the two.

But Xia Yangshu didn't keep talking about this kind of thing to punish the nine clans, but shifted the topic to the martial arts conference.

"Dao Chief, Xia really admires you very much, even if I don't do it, I will definitely help you win the fourth-grade official position. As for those troublesome rules of the imperial court, you can rest assured, I will definitely not use these to embarrass you. ”

Xia Yangshu, as the governor of Jizhou, these outstanding martial arts people must be controlled by him, and it is reasonable for him to say this.

But Zhong Yangming didn't agree immediately, but just said, "Your Excellency, I haven't decided whether to fight in the ring yet." ”

In the face of Zhong Yangming's refusal, Xia Yangshu did not have the slightest expression of dissatisfaction, and said with a smile: "This one is up to you, but Xia has only one reluctant request." If you don't want to be an official, then please don't fight in this ring, but don't go away after winning the first place. ”

"Oh? Why? Zhong Yangming asked.

Xia Yangshu explained: "The Dao Chang Sword Technique is invincible in the world, presumably the first is already in the bag, but if the first in the martial arts conference is not willing to serve the imperial court, then the people behind me will probably follow suit." In this way, I am afraid that this conference will not be the result that the imperial court wants.

"The court has contributed money and efforts, and the rewards of real money and silver have to be taken out, and an explanation is always needed. If the court loses face, then I'm afraid there will be no next time.

"If the Taoist chief comes for money, the reward that the first place should have, Xia Mou, will be converted into cash and presented in full. If he asks for fame, Xia is also willing to help with all his might and help the Taoist to establish a sect in Jizhou. I only hope that the Taoist can give the court a face and give this first place to those who are willing to serve the court. ”

Xia Yangshu's words were so beautiful, if Zhong Yangming was really an ordinary Jianghu person, he would probably not refuse. The governor of a state is so low-voiced, and he sends money and sects, which can definitely be regarded as Corporal Lixian's sincerity.

If you refuse, you will completely tear your face and wait to fight with the court.

Xia Yangshu looked at Zhong Yangming, wanting to know his answer.

According to the original plan, Xia Yangshu wanted to use the benefits to envelop Zhong Yangming and make him give up the ring competition, so as not to affect his plan.

It's just that I didn't expect Zhong Yangming to hide his antipathy, strong martial arts and unique vision, and Xia Yangshu had a feeling of meeting a bosom friend.

He changed his mind and tried his best to bring Zhong Yangming to his side.

If Zhong Yangming wants to fight in the ring, then Xia Yangshu will hold him to the first, and then take it for his own use openly.

If he doesn't want to, then go according to the original plan, let his people fight for this first place, and continue to hide the secret of the iron mine until the time is ripe.

Zhong Yangming didn't answer immediately, and after some careful consideration, he said to Xia Yangshu: "Your Excellency Governor, this matter is very important, please forgive me for not agreeing immediately, but before the gold medal ring, I will definitely give your lord an answer." ”

Xia Yangshu was a little unhappy, feeling that Zhong Yangming was not good enough, but he didn't take it to heart. After all, these two paths represent completely different futures, and Zhong Yangming is right to be cautious.

Now that the format has been shortened and the gold medal ring is not in the first few days, he can wait.

There is no feast in the world, and this meal is eaten from noon to dusk, but it will always be at the end of the day.

Zhong Yangming got up to say goodbye, this time stepping on the flying sword and slowly falling to the ground.

This sword technique can't fly high, but the buffer drop is okay.

This is like the method of immortals, Xia Yangshu is even more excited, if Zhong Yangming can be brought under his command, taking the head of the general among the ten thousand troops is really like probing for something, what a sharp knife this is.

Zhong Yangming's fame for eating this meal was a little higher, until he returned to Sanxiao Building, and many people came to visit, but all of them were blocked out by the shopkeeper.

When he returned to his room, he pretended to rest, but in fact he quietly ran to the iron mine.

When the night came, so did the time for cultivation.

And tonight, he's going to find out the secrets inside the mine.

The governor of Jizhou probably wants to rebel, and the secret in this mine may be related to the rebellion.

Only by confirming this secret with his own eyes can Zhong Yangming think about the next key question.

This governor of Jizhou has a good reputation, whether he is pretending to be true or sincere, he can care for the people, and he can be polite and virtuous, which is already very good.

If he really wants to rebel, should he stop it?

After all, whether it is about deeds or hearts, Zhong Yangming himself is also a thief.
