Chapter 430: The Battleground
Liang Cheng shook his head: "I don't know this." ”
"The third Wanghai City Lord is named Du Xinquan, and he is currently the supreme commander of the military of the Great Xuan Kingdom. ”
"It turned out to be Du Shuai!" Liang Cheng was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that he had also served as the city lord of Wanghai City.
"Then do you know who the sixth city lord of Wanghai City was 1,200 years ago?" asked Huyan Ruochen again.
Liang Cheng then shook his head.
"This person's name is Wei Honglin, and he is now the prime minister of the Great Xuanguo Dynasty. ”
Before Liang Cheng could answer, Yu Zishan was surprised: "What, these big names have all been the city lords of Wanghai City? ”
"In fact, the conditions on the side of Wanghai City are bad, even if there is anything special, it can only be said - special suffering, special tiredness! If being an official is only for resources or for profit, then when you go to Wanghai City, you are going to ask for hardship, but what ......about it?"
Liang Cheng knew that if Gongzi Ruochen had been talking for a long time, there must be a 'but' behind him, so he gently pulled Yu Zishan and stopped him from asking.
Sure enough, Huyan Ruochen continued: "The so-called endure all the hardships in order to become a master! The experience of Du Shuai and Wei Xiang can fully prove that this sentence is true! In fact, it is not that the imperial court will reward everyone who has been the lord of Wanghai City, the imperial court will only reward the person who can manage the Wanghai City well, that kind of person, he must also have strong ability, so it is not surprising to choose a person with strong ability to take important positions, in fact, this is even more correct in the reverse - an intricate place like Wanghai City can train capable people!"
Hu Yan Ruochen turned his head and stared at Liang Cheng's eyes carefully, his eyes were appreciative and focused, as if he wanted to see what he was thinking from his eyes.
Liang Cheng bowed his head and was silent, a little hesitant in his heart, in fact, he was not afraid of the troubles and challenges of Wanghai City, but when he thought that he might be involved in the power struggle between the princes of Daxuan in the future, he felt very troubled in his heart, because that kind of way of fighting for power and profit was really unpleasant.
As if seeing Liang Cheng's thoughts, Hu Yan Ruochen opened his mouth and said, "Senior Brother Liang, your concerns are actually very clear to me in my heart. I once told you, in fact, I have always disliked Vanity Fair, and I am really tired of those power struggles, so I don't want to go to the Imperial Courtyard, but came to Tiangang Academy, for which I even gave up the bloodline exercises inherited by the family, and what I want to express to my father is that I want to stay away from right and wrong, as long as I spend my life safely and simply. ”
Huyan Ruochen took a sip of tea, and slowly continued: "I just want to live a simple and safe life, and when I am out of Tiangang Academy, I will go to any sect, even if I am an elder, it is very good, be kind to others, and be kind, and be kind, in addition to practicing, I will play chess every day, so good!
Liang Cheng was silent, he was unwilling to get involved in the struggle for power and profit of these dignitaries from the beginning, and his actual thoughts were similar to those of Ruochen Gongzi, in fact, neither of them wanted to be in the place of right and wrong, and only thought about purity.
However, the world is unpredictable, and it is said that the Great Dao is alone, but what ability does he have to walk alone on this path of cultivation? If a monk can cultivate smoothly without the need for authority and interests, step by step, until he lives forever and sees for eternity, then he can look down on the sentient beings in the red dust, and say with a long laugh: "An Neng can break his eyebrows and bend his waist to do the powerful?
But does he, Liang Cheng, have the confidence to say such a thing? In the future, if he only thinks about leaving the land of right and wrong, he will definitely become a casual cultivator, and what will be the result?
An example of ready-made, there are so many casual cultivators in the Scattered Cultivation Hall of the eldest brother Shi Qingquan, and they don't even want dignity and face in order to get a bottle of low-grade pills.
These people are more tired every day, and they have no ability to be cautious and carefree, and those days of casual cultivation are only hard, and they are still far from being at ease. Odd book e-book
And in Liang Cheng's own recent planning, he is not qualified to enjoy leisure at all, because quickly improving his cultivation, reaching a higher level, and becoming strong enough is his recent pursuit.
In Liang Cheng's heart, he has always been thinking about the moving figure that is waiting for him in the distance, so before he has the ability to marry her, he must not spend too much time slowly cultivating, if the days drag on for a long time, how many variables will be added, every time he thinks of this, Liang Cheng can't wait to ascend to the sky in one step, and immediately set off to the Wing Spirit Country.
Hu Yan Ruochen looked at the distant mountains outside the window with a long eye, as if he didn't notice Liang Cheng's current mood, but sighed and said: "It's a pity! People like me, such a background, are destined to not be able to go according to their wishes, and how they want to live is not their right to choose at all, so it is the simplest requirement among ordinary people, and it can't be passed in my family.
Speaking of this, Hu Yan Ruochen sighed, but at this time, a person walked into the hall, Liang Cheng raised his eyes, but saw that the person who came was also an acquaintance, it was Feng Ruoyu.
Feng Ruoyu glanced at Hu Yan Ruochen with a slightly complicated look, and then said to Liang Cheng and Yu Zishan: "Both, Old Feng, I'm rude, in fact, I have already gone upstairs, I was looking for Gongzi to have something, and when I heard the sound of you talking here, I have been hiding at the stairs to listen to you, this is not what a frank-minded person would do." I'm going to confess first!"
Yu Zishan said: "Eh, it's okay, Lao Feng, what kind of rudeness is this kind of thing, if you don't say it yourself, we can't know that you listened to us, since you yourself will admit it first, it shows that we are open-minded, we already trust each other, although Brother Cheng has not had much contact with you, but he is also a fair and upright person, in fact, they are all their own people, so don't see each other!"
Feng Ruoyu nodded after listening to Yu Zishan's words, bowed to Liang Cheng, and then said with emotion: " Senior Brother Liang, I won't tell you, my Lao Feng admired you very much after seeing you for the first time, so when I thought that a talent like you could not be used by Gongzi, I always felt pity in my heart, so you all saw it, as long as I had the opportunity, I would definitely say something to attract you, I also know that this is a bit rude, for this rudeness, Gongzi scolded Lao Feng behind his back I don't know how many times, Gongzi always said to me, you are very similar to him, you have your own way of life, so don't interfere. Senior Brother Liang's side, I may also be annoyed by me, so my old Feng is Zhu Bajie looks in the mirror, he is not a person inside and out, but I just can't help it, I think that if one day, Senior Brother Liang can cast himself under the Gongzi Sect, let's explore the world together, prosper and eliminate disadvantages, and ...... for the people of my Great Xuan Kingdom."
Before Feng Ruoyu finished speaking, Hu Yan Ruochen interrupted: "Old Feng, you are talking far away, those family and country affairs are handled by the monarch and all the adults, so I should not talk about this......"
"Yes!" Feng Ruoyu hurriedly stopped talking, and then whispered to Liang Cheng: "All in all, my old Feng thinks that Gongzi Ruochen is a lord worth following, Senior Brother Liang, you can consider it yourself, you see, Gongzi doesn't allow my old Feng to talk too much." ”
Huyan Ruochen didn't want to continue the topic, so he asked, "Ruoyu, you came to me today, is there something wrong?"
Feng Ruoyu said: "My old Feng didn't want to come to discuss the matter of recommendation with the prince, according to me, this time the monarch asked the princes to recommend the city lords of Wanghai City and other cities seems simple, but it is actually very important, the monarch wants to use this matter to examine the princes' eyesight to know people and be good." ”
"Oh, Lao Feng, what is your opinion on this matter, none of the people present here are outsiders, you can help me try to analyze the relationship. Huyan Ruochen heard Feng Ruoyu mention this nerve-wracking thing, and couldn't help but want to hear his opinion.
Feng Ruoyu asked, thought for a while, and said: "This time, there are five vacancies, namely Tianyun City in the north, Yixia City in the west, Yangwu City in the southwest, Wanghai City on the south coast, and a big port city in the east. ”
Liang Cheng listened to what Feng Ruoyu said, and only then did he notice that it seemed to be the season when the imperial court inspected the appointment and dismissal of officials, and the monarch asked the princes to recommend candidates this time.
Huyan Ruochen sighed: "In the early years, the father of these things would not come to ask us a few princes at all, but this time he recruited us all, and gave a copy of the palace report and various detailed information of each vacant city, and told us to put forward our own views and recommend suitable candidates after studying for half a month.
Feng Ruoyu said: "Childe, I have been thinking about this matter for a long time, in a big city like Tianyun City and Bliss Harbor, the third prince has a relationship with Prime Minister Wei Cheng, and he can definitely recommend the officials of the Wei family to sit in the town, and important towns like Yixia City and Yangwu City have always been controlled by the Daxuan military, and the candidates for the city lord, I think Du Laoshuai has already known it in his heart." ”
Hu Yan Ruochen nodded when he heard this, frowned and said, "What you said is similar to what I thought, in fact, the only thing we can fight for is the remote city of Wanghai City......
Liang Cheng knew what Hu Yan Ruochen was worried about in the past few days, and also thought that when he listened to him stroke the piano on the stairs on the fourth floor before, one of his strings was broken, which showed that his mood was a little upset, and it seemed that he was in trouble.
Feng Ruoyu said: "Eh, Childe, don't underestimate this Wanghai City, this place is remote and lacks aura, so it will not send monks above the rank of Jiedan, so it seems that the weight is very small, and everyone doesn't pay attention to it, but how do I think Lao Feng thinks that there is an opportunity hidden here!"
