"Wen He wants to challenge other Dao sects in the Jin Kingdom, this is too bold. ”

"Didn't you say that Wenhe only became a Taoist sect?"

"Once enlightened, I guess my self-confidence has swelled. ”

"I heard that the Wenhe Dao Sect can transform into a glow, which is also at the top level in the Dao Sect, and it shouldn't be difficult to challenge other Dao Sects. ”

"Then why did he do it? Want to be famous?"

"No, Wen He is a challenge issued as a scholar, which obviously has other intentions. ”

"Hey, you don't know this, Wenhe wants to gain a strong momentum to protect the readers, in recent years, because of some domestic reasons, the scholars have been greatly suppressed and weakened, Wenhe had no strength before, he has no weight in speaking, and no one listens to him if he wants to come out, and now he has become a Taoist sect, so he naturally has to fight hard. ”

"Oh, I see, doesn't that mean that Wen He is complaining about the world's readers. ”

"Almost, when the time comes, Wenhe Daozong will show enough strength, plus his reputation as a scholar, even His Majesty must be cautious, and if Ying Wei wants to arrest the scholar at every turn and make up charges, he will definitely be greatly restrained. ”

Walking on the street, listening to the discussion in the roadside stalls, restaurants, and teahouses, the faces of the five people all appeared with suspicion, this Wenhe, the strength that can be tossed, looks much bigger than the five of them, if you don't make a move, the whole country will be shaken, and the world will be shocked.

In order to keep a low profile, everyone chose a relatively remote inn, asked for three rooms, and after each rested, they met in Wang Banxian's room.

The two women finished sparsely, their bright faces glowed with jade-like beauty, and the new clothes were all precious brocade, thin and refreshing, and they outlined the exquisite curves of the two women, although they may not be so enchanting, but also have a unique girlish taste.

Ying Wuxin is still a dark color robe, after washing his face, his face is a little lazy, looking like a cynical young man, Li Zhengdao is naturally still in white clothes as before, after washing, his face is full of water droplets, illuminated by the sun outside the window, his handsome appearance is like a beautiful jade carving, resolute eyes, dark eyes, faint with a bit of tiredness and indifferent expression, giving people a sense of loneliness in the snow-capped mountains, and the sense of immortal drifting, but it makes people's hearts yearn for closer.

Sun Xiaoman put his arm on the table, supported his chin, and looked at Li Zhengdao stupidly, his eyes gradually drifted, and there was a bit of smug joy and smirk on his fair face. After Bai Miaozhen glanced at Li Zhengdao, he secretly moved his gaze to Ying Wuxin, but he only looked at the hem of Ying Wuxin's clothes.

Wang Banxian walked in from outside the door and greeted with a smile: "The meal has been ordered, and I will come back later." ”

After a meal that was not early or late, everyone began to drink tea and rest in the room to discuss things.

The first of these was naturally Wen He's challenge to other Taoist sects.

"I listen to the meaning of this discussion, and now the domestic scholars are very suppressed?" Ying Wuxin asked, his face a little puzzled.

Although the five countries rely more and more on force, but if the situation in the three states is stable today, and all countries are working hard to implement civil rule at home, it has been more than 100 years, and it is obviously a problem for the Jin State to suppress scholars at this time.

Li Zhengdao said to Sun Xiaoman: "It's still junior sister." ”

Sun Xiaoman smiled happily and nodded: "Okay, in fact, this still involves Your Majesty and the second prince, the second prince has made great contributions to the implementation of cultural governance in the country, and is very popular with scholars, but now His Majesty naturally does not like it, and wants to change it, but because His Majesty's reputation when he was the prince is too bad, few scholars are unwilling to be loyal in the past, seeing that the world's scholars, especially young scholars, support the second prince, Your Majesty naturally wants to think of a rescue." ”

"But at present, Your Majesty's rescue measures are not good, and I don't know who paid attention, the shadow guard wantonly arrested and killed famous scholars, but it aroused the indignation of more scholars, and they all threw themselves under the second prince's door, showing their loyalty and asking for asylum. His Majesty couldn't get over the face, and he was even more annoyed, and the suppression of scholars became more and more severe, and many scholars were subjected to the seedlings, and the number of candidates in the imperial examination in the past two years has been greatly reduced. ”

"If you want to win the hearts of scholars, you naturally have to use gentle means, but Your Majesty has done the opposite, isn't there anyone to dissuade you?" Ying Wuxin asked rhetorically.

Sun Xiaoman glanced at Li Zhengdao, saw that he did not say anything to stop him, and continued: "This matter is a bit complicated, the three states and the five countries are now implementing civil governance, and the power of the military generals is very suppressed, including the cultivators, and now that His Majesty has the intention of taking action against the literati, they will naturally not stop it, but will add fuel to the fire." His Majesty originally relied on these generals and cultivators to sit on the throne, and naturally he couldn't directly refuse their request soon after he ascended the throne, plus the second prince was loved by scholars, and many scholars had insulted His Majesty and other factors, which caused today's situation. ”

"The elders of the family said that the current situation in the country is not only the will of His Majesty, the will of the generals, and the intentions of the cultivators, but also the activities of the secret hands and feet, intending to destroy the cultural foundation of the Jin Kingdom. However, His Majesty took the lead, and an irreversible trend has been formed, and others want to stop it, but they are also soft-spoken. ”

"Now Wenhe has become a Taoist sect, willing to complain for the scholars of the Jin country, it is naturally better, from the situation of Jin Shuihe's enlightenment that day, he should have entered the third stage of the second realm, the third stage of the Taoist sect, in the Taoist sect of the Jin country, is enough to rank in the top three, comparable to the strong strength of a 10,000-strong teacher, if it is for the scholars to ask for their lives, even if the general trend in the country has become now, it will inevitably be hindered, Your Majesty must be cautious, for the country and the scholars, it is definitely a great thing. ”

Li Zhengdao thought for a while and said: "Although many scholars are a little proud of their identity, but on the whole, they are still willing to speak for the people. ”

"However, what Senior Sister said is right, there are still people who are making trouble in secret, since they want to destroy the cultural foundation of the Jin Kingdom, they naturally will not sit back and watch Wenhe succeed, and they will inevitably make some moves next. ”

Ying Wuxin shook his head and said: "I don't think so, Wen He is still relatively old and smart, he challenges so openly in order to attract more eyes, when more eyes are on him, whoever wants to do something, it will definitely be discovered, as long as the people behind the scenes are not stupid, they will definitely not make a move." ”

"However, they won't make a move on Wenhe, but they will definitely make a move on me, because I am the key to making Wenhe a Taoist sect, and I am still alive, only fourteen years old, I have a book of Journey to the West in my hand, and the text of the preface of King Teng's Pavilion has not been printed for large-scale distribution, once it is distributed on a large scale, maybe more people will become enlightened because of this, and that is definitely not the situation they want to see, so I suspect that the disappearance of Zhu Yun, who made an agreement with me to publish a book, should be their handiwork, but unfortunately, I know Zhu Yun's name, and I don't know more information, otherwise if I look it up, I may find out。 ”

Everyone's faces changed, and their expressions became a little nervous, Li Zhengdao looked at Ying Wuxin, and said seriously: "Don't worry, I will protect you." ”

The other three also nodded seriously, and Sun Xiaoman was no exception.

Ying Wuxin gritted his teeth and smiled, "I'm also a Daoxia, okay, I'm not much weaker than you, and I'll protect myself." ”

Bai Miaozhen took a sip of tea and said: "Regarding the words of the unintentional junior brother, there is no news that any bookstore is willing to publish a book, there may have been a fierce competition behind it, and even the second prince and His Majesty are staring at it, no one dares to take this anymore, Zhu Yun quietly dodged, so as not to get into trouble, it is not impossible." ”

Sun Xiaoman said: "This is a sure thing, Your Majesty's Royal Bookstore will not let go of such a popular book, after all, making money and promoting the emperor's prestige are not wrong, Your Majesty is not stupid, and will naturally rush to ask for it, but the second prince, as a supporter of domestic scholars, also has his own Tongmin Bookstore, and naturally he will not be willing to lag behind, if the two of them fight openly and secretly, who else dares to participate." ”

"No, then how long are they going to fight?" Wang Banxian said distressedly, "Our little Daoist is still waiting to make money." ”

Li Zhengdao shook his head lightly, "It's really hard to say, maybe it will be a long fight." ”

Sun Xiaoman said: "In today's situation, the second prince has not been won by His Majesty because of the support of the scholars, if he can't get the publishing rights of this Journey to the West, the hearts of the people below will inevitably be scattered, and the outcome can be imagined." So in order to survive, the second prince will inevitably do his best to fight, His Majesty knows that this is the best opportunity to win the second prince, so he will naturally not let it go, this battle will be extremely fierce, lasting for several years, or even longer, it is not an exaggeration at all. ”

But in this way, the forces that want to suppress domestic scholars and destroy the cultural foundation of the Jin Kingdom have taken advantage of it in vain. "There should be no heart.

"No, maybe they are also involved in this competition, and even balance the forces of the two sides, so that they are always evenly matched, and they are caught in a long-term tug-of-war, so that the script of Journey to the West can be shelved, which is equivalent to blocking. It's really calculated, I'm a little more curious about the people behind this scene now, who is it that has such a big ambition to destroy the cultural foundation of the Jin Kingdom, to suppress all the scholars in the country, and to influence His Majesty and provoke the power of the court?"

Li Zhengdao said: "There are some speculations in this sect, the establishment of the Five Kingdoms is not long ago, the former Yue Kingdom has only been destroyed for more than a hundred years, there must be remnants and forces who want to restore the country, many documents of the Yue Kingdom were burned in the Great War that year, and the Five Kingdoms did not have much information about the previous dynasty, and did not know the situation after those royal families and magnates, they are very likely to change their names and surnames, and mixed into the court of the Five Kingdoms today." ”

"In this way, it is the remnants of the previous dynasty who are making waves. Wang Banxian said.

"It's true to make waves, but it may not be the remnants, the five countries are divided, relying on force, not popularity, how can it be said that the people of the previous dynasty are remnants. "You should be dissatisfied.
