In the face of the "sky-high" reward offered by King Fu, it would be false to say that he was not tempted.

It's just that...... I have to excuse myself.

Shen Du pretended to be flattered and said, "Lord Wang, this is too precious. ”

"I didn't save the prince to repay, the prince should take it back."

"No merit is not rewarded, this great gift Gu really can't afford it."

Zhao Yuanzuo was full of smiles, and there was no disappointment in his eyes, because all this was expected by him.

If Shen Du agreed so easily, then he would have to look down on him.

He can afford this thing.

He did not mean to use this to tempt.

If Shen Du was just a greedy person for money, he would still solicit it, but he would still look down on it in his heart.

Zhao Yuanzuo smiled: "Gu Gongzi, take it." ”

"Don't you think that this king's life is not worth so much?"

"What's more, since this king has given it, there is no reason to take it back."

Zhao Yuanzuo laughed and said: "Who doesn't know in this world, this king likes the rivers and lakes the most, and this king doesn't know how many gifts he has given over the years." ”

"Others are still like this, not to mention that you are still the king's savior."

"If Gu Gongzi doesn't accept it, then he won't give face to this king!"

"Why, aren't you going to give this king this face?"

Zhao Yuanzuo pretended to be angry.

Shen Du arched his hand and said: "Gu has no such intention, it's just that these two things are too precious, and Gu really deserves it." ”

"If that's the case, then thank you to the prince."

Since King Fu is going to act, he doesn't mind being modest anymore.

"Haha!" Zhao Yuanzuo smiled loudly, seemed to be in a very good mood, and stretched out his hand to signal: "Come, try these meals, are they still appetizing." ”

Shen Du nodded, and he was not polite.

He could see that this table of food was not simple, and it cost at least 1,000 taels of silver.

Zhao Yuanzuo had been chatting with Shen Du all the time, and he didn't mention a word of solicitation from beginning to end.

After three rounds of drinking, Shen Du wiped his mouth with satisfaction.

His daily life is not bad, after all, he is also a state chief catcher, but compared with King Fu, it is really much worse.

When it comes to enjoyment, there are probably few people in the whole world who can compare to this blessed king.

Zhao Yuanzuo took a sip of the wine glass, raised his eyes to look at Shen Du, and suddenly asked, "I don't know what Gu Gongzi thinks of the world today?" ”

Shen Du raised his eyebrows, shook his head and said, "Chaos!" ”

"Oh?" Zhao Yuanzuo said with interest: "What do you mean by this? ”

Shen Du said in a deep voice: "All countries seem to be in a peaceful situation, but this is only the surface situation. ”

"Let's just say that in the Yan country in the north, there are many family gates, the land encroachment is serious, those families even raise private soldiers, the people are in trouble, and the family is the root of the disaster in the Yan country."

"As for the Chu State, the nobles of the Chu State are high and have clear classes, and the people at the bottom will never see a way out, and after a long time, the low-level people will complain."

"If the Qi State doesn't say anything, their own civil strife has not been resolved."

"As for the Qianguo ......"

Shen Du was stunned, but he didn't say anything more.

Zhao Yuanzuo didn't have a smile on his face, but was quite solemn.

Shen Du's words can be described as hitting the nail on the head!

A few simple sentences, but they explain the fundamental problems of various countries.

He values it more and more now.

Ordinary people don't have this opinion, or they don't know about it at all.

"The rights of the literati of the Qianguo are too heavy."

Zhao Yuanzuo put down his wine glass and said calmly: "There are three redundant countries in the country, redundant soldiers, redundant officials, redundant expenses, civilian officials suppress military attachés, and military generals have no right to speak. ”

"If the two countries of Yan and Chu come to attack, the Qianguo will be defeated!"

He knows very well what the armaments of Qianguo look like, and they are rotten to the bone.

The situation of the entire army eating empty salaries abounds, and the sergeants and soldiers of the army are not even as good as the Jianghu people.

Although Yan and Chu have their own drawbacks, their armies have not been abolished.

Shen Du glanced at Zhao Yuanzuo in surprise, but he didn't expect that this Fu King would say such a thing.

Zhao Yuanzuo laughed at himself and said calmly: "It's not that no one sees this problem. ”

"But even if they see it, they would rather play stupid for their benefit."

If the Qianguo wants to reform its malpractices, it must move the interests of the civilians, officials, and scholars.

And the reform is supposed to be the responsibility of the officials, let them reform themselves, is it possible?

This is the case in the Qianguo, the state of Chu, and the same is true in the country of Yan!

Even the emperor of Yan Kingdom, who was the number one on the heavenly list, couldn't help it.

He saw very clearly that if any of the countries can solve their own problems first, they may have the possibility of dominating the world.

Zhao Yuanzuo glanced at Shen Du deeply, got up and said: "Gu Gongzi is extremely talented, this king wants to make friends with Gu Gongzi, I don't know if Gu Gongzi is willing?" ”

Shen Du's eyes narrowed slightly, and he had some doubts in his heart.

It's a little different from what he thought.

originally thought that Zhao Yuanzuo would offer to solicit, but just to make friends?

Shen Du didn't think much about it, and quickly got up and said, "The prince is very loving, how can there be a gift of refusal." ”

"To be able to become friends with the prince, it is Gu who has climbed high."

It's just a verbal friend anyway.

"Haha!" Zhao Yuanzuo said with a smile: "I am a gentleman's friend, regardless of identity." ”

"This king never felt that his status was superior."

The two talked for a while, and Shen Du offered his farewell.

Seeing Shen Du leave, Zhao Yuanzuo picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all.

"It's a pity!"

Guo Ming hesitated for a moment, puzzled: "Lord Wang, aren't you planning to recruit this person?" ”

"Why ......"

He didn't understand that spending so much money was really just a matter of gratitude?

There are few snow lotus flowers in the entire palace that day, and they can be described as rare treasures.

Even the True Martial Sword Sect and other great sects of the Sword Dao may not have them.

"You don't understand!"

Zhao Yuanzuo shook his head and said, "Just now, this king figured out one thing. ”

"From the moment he spoke of the evils of the nations, the king realized that this man was not an ordinary man."

"If this king opens his mouth to solicit, he will most likely refuse, which will hurt the relationship between the two sides."

Guo Ming frowned and said: "Lord Wang, with all due respect, even if this person is talented, he is only a five-qi dynasty, if no one helps, even if he is talented, how far can he go?" ”

"What's more, you are a prince, how can he refuse!"

Zhao Yuanzuo sighed lightly, shook his head and smiled: "Because this king can see it." ”

"He's the same person as I am!"

"This man is ambitious!"

"He is not a person who is willing to be subservient to others, not to mention that this king is just an idle prince now, and he can't give him much."

Over the years, he has recruited many people, young and handsome, leaders in the army, and even famous Confucians, but whenever he talks about this matter, those people either avoid the important or exaggerate.

Very few people are able to point out the problem and say it bluntly.

"Make a good relationship with him today, and if this king starts up in the future, he can recruit him again!"

"Besides, isn't this king a friend with him?"

Zhao Yuanzuo smiled softly, didn't talk any more, and asked, "Are the people from the Demon Sect here?" ”

Guo Ming said respectfully: "I have arranged them in the back house. ”

"Let's go!"

"Go meet our future allies."

……

Outside the Water Moon Villa, Shen stood alone on his horse, glanced back, and then rode away.

Although he didn't quite understand why King Fu didn't solicit it in the end, as far as he was concerned, this was a temporary uprising, and he had nothing to lose.

Just as the blessed king befriended him, he did not have the intention of befriending the blessed king.

People have to leave a way out for themselves!

……

Yan country, outside the national capital,

A column of heavily armed dragoons marched slowly.

The black dragon flag fluttered in the strong wind.

The horses' hooves trampled on the earth, making a dull rumbling sound.

The people around them avoided one after another, looking at the departing dragoon forbidden army with longing on their faces.

Although the power of the Dragoon Forbidden Army is not as strong as before, it is still a royal guard, and it is of great significance in the hearts of the people of Yan Kingdom.

The number of this column of dragoon forbidden troops was not large, only about a hundred.

In addition to being a royal guard, the Dragoon Forbidden Army is also a Qincha guard.

Ordinary officials, unless they are gifted by the Son of Heaven, under normal circumstances, are only qualified to be appointed by the foreign patrol.

In the rear of the Dragoon Forbidden Army, two luxury carriages followed.

Around the carriage, there were several swordsmen dressed as Jianghu people, riding horses to guard around the carriage.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing an old face in his fifties.

Gao Shixing looked at the smoke and dust rolled up in the sky and sighed secretly.

The capital is thousands of miles away from that Taizhou, and if he rushes over it all the way, I'm afraid that he hasn't reached the place yet, and he will have to lose half of his life first.

Although the case of the Taizhou Assassin has been submitted to the capital, it is a state assassin after all, and the identity is different, and the imperial court must also send someone to verify it.

The case of Taizhou's assassination and death was jointly responsible for the Yushi Observatory and the Qing Officials Department of the Ministry of Officials.

It's just that this matter has to be reported to the cabinet for approval, so it has been delayed for some time.

Gao Shixing shook his head and said to himself: "It's not good to offend anyone, you have to offend the third prince." ”

He had also heard about this incident.

offended the three princes, even if it was a person with six doors, what good end could it have in the end.

It's no longer time for the Six Doors to run amok.

can only blame him for being too cheap and provoking people who shouldn't be provoked.

But when he thought of what the noble man had promised him, he suddenly felt full of energy again.

As long as he can complete the things he has explained, he will be able to rise up as a six-rank imperial history.

……

Jingzhong, Six Doors,

Cui Jingsheng looked at the secret report in front of him, his face gloomy.

"Bang!"

With a palm pressing the secret report on the table, Cui Jingsheng planned to get up and go to the governor.

"Second brother, don't go!"

"The Metropolitan Governor is now guarding the customs for His Majesty, and he will not leave the customs in a short time."

Suddenly, a cold voice came from outside the courtyard, and Cui Jingsheng looked up.

The person who came was Zhan Hongyan.

Zhan Hongyan shook her head and said, "Second brother, the imperial history of the outer tour has already left, and it is too late for you to go now, and Yuan Su has already left." ”

Cui Jingsheng's face was gloomy.

He deliberately arranged Shen Du in Taizhou, in order to avoid the people in Beijing.

It's just that I didn't think about it, and I still didn't avoid this catastrophe.

Who knew that it would make the three princes target.

It was also Shen Du's work that was too conspicuous, and meritorious service was a good thing, but his meritorious service was too fast and eye-catching.

Today's six doors are not monolithic, and in order to contain the six doors, the imperial court has placed a lot of people in the six doors over the years.

Among the six gates in Beijing, in addition to the chief catcher, there is also the post of inspector, which is under the jurisdiction of the inspection department and is responsible for checking the six doors of each state capital.

That Yuan Su was originally an inspector, but this time he suddenly took over as the chief arrester of Taizhou, and there was a royal history in Beijing to investigate the case of Taizhou's assassination, which was obviously aimed at Shen Du.

A trace of murderous intent flashed in Cui Jingsheng's eyes, and he said coldly: "If it weren't for the fact that the Metropolitan Governor wanted to guard the customs for His Majesty, why would they be so unscrupulous!" ”

A group of corpse vegetarians!

He wanted to slap them all to death.

He didn't expect Shen Dugang to make some achievements, and someone would be worried about it so soon.

It was also Shen Du who offended those nobles in Beijing too hard that time, and I am afraid that these people are indispensable behind this time.

Cui Jingsheng said in a deep voice: "Hong Aya, you will leave Beijing today!" ”

"Shen Du's strength is too low now, I'm afraid that Yuan Su will play yin."

Zhan Hongyan nodded and comforted: "Don't worry! ”

"I'm not going to let him have anything to do."

After saying that, he got up and hurried away.

……

Nam An Fu,

After several days of traveling, Shen Dufang rushed here.

This time, his purpose is very clear, that is, for "Northern Shengong".

As the so-called solitary yin does not grow, solitary yang does not grow, although "Purple Blood Dafa" is not bad, but this skill is a demon path exercise after all, and it also has its own drawbacks.

The Northern Shengong has both yin and yang, and is compatible with the world's martial arts, invincible, strong and domineering, and the attack is extremely fierce, with great power, and true qi to protect the body, and can also absorb the true qi power of others.

If you can fuse the three divine skills, your strength will inevitably increase greatly, and your true qi will be far superior to ordinary people.

And this magic skill is hidden in the Zhulu Academy in Nan'an Mansion.

Although this Zhulu Academy is a college, it also teaches human martial arts.

The disciples in this academy are not only the children of some high-ranking officials and nobles, but also the children of ordinary people.

Speaking of which, this Zhulu Academy can also be regarded as an attempt by Emperor Taizong of the Qianguo Kingdom.

Emperor Taizong of the Qianguo Kingdom wanted to break the monopoly of the wealthy clans and give the people at the bottom a way out, so he deliberately promulgated the policy of building academies.

But it is clear that those people do not want to see the people below rise above their control.

So in the end, the only thing left was this Zhulu Academy.

In recent years, the academy has also shown a trend of decline.

Shen Du wore a green shirt and led the horses through the streets of Fucheng.

This Nan'an Mansion seems to be a little worse than Yizhou Mansion.

After all, Yizhou Mansion is a major road by land and water, and the development of Cao Yun naturally drives the economy of the prefecture, and there is no reason why King Fu secretly promotes it.

Even so, this Nam An Province is quite prosperous.

Shen Du found an inn in the city and settled down, then inquired about the situation of Zhulu Academy, left the inn again, and began to step around the city.

……

It was evening and the sun was setting.

Shen Du sat at the table and studied the map of the city of Nan'an Mansion, which he had spent half a day drawing.

Although the Zhulu Academy has declined, it has been glorious in the end, and if you sneak into it, if you are discovered, you must think of a way out.

Shen Du put away the map, and a hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes.

"Now it's going to be dark!"
