Chapter Twenty-Seven: Four Omits and Eighteen Sparse

The man in Tsing Yi said: "I have also heard about this matter, and I have also seen his first advice in the world. This county lieutenant is called Yi Zheng, and our Wuzhou is now lacking such talents, so His Royal Highness King Qin won't consider going to negotiate with King Nanping?"

King Qin shook his head and said, "There is good land at home, how can that dead ghost let go easily." It is rumored that the king of Jin was assassinated, and there are no bones, which should be the limelight released by the Jiangnan side. At present, King Huai, who is closest to Tianjing City, is not having a good time. The king of Yue has no real power, and he walks birds and enjoys himself in Tianjing City all day long and in the current saint, and I almost forgot that there is such a person among the eight feudal kings, and it is only a matter of time before he is demoted to the king of the county. Although King Huai said that he held the military power, he was the most taken care of by the Empress Dowager Jia back then. If Jia Yan wants to improve his own power, the power of Huaiwang Liu Wei is indispensable. I heard that in recent months, Tianjing City has sent a lot of people to Yangzhou for ventilation, and it is estimated that it will not be long before King Huai will become his puppet, and he will have to plan early. ”

After saying this, King Qin remembered the matter of the witch ban again, and continued: "Speaking of which, our Empress Dowager Jia is doing great things in the palace. Less than a year after the death of the first emperor, there were thousands of people killed in the literary prison pit, and then there was a ban on witches that made the people of the world panic. This queen mother is really afraid that the world will be peaceful. If you don't make the King of Jin beautiful, you will be angry with the wizards in the world, which will ban Confucianism and Taoism in the future, won't it be a chaos in the world. ”

The man in Tsing Yi didn't say a word, listening to King Qin talk about the general trend of the world, and unconsciously the black chess pieces he was holding had surrounded most of the chessboard. King Qin spit out the last thing in his mouth with a "bah", pulled his hands out of his sleeves, leaned back, looked at the ceiling of the attic, and said, "This king has lost, no more." ”

"The matter of the secret edict, sir......"

"I don't have a clue yet. ”

Goose feathers and white snow fell outside the house, and the distant mountains disappeared into the wind and snow at dusk. The sky is getting dark, and the lights of thousands of homes in Jiang'an City are dim, and the New Year is coming in a blink of an eye.

After saying this, King Qin got up and picked up the empty bowl on the side, glanced at the snow scene outside the window, and walked downstairs slowly. Before leaving, he didn't forget to say: "Sir, you have to take care of your body, Yu Hui is still waiting for your two and eighteen ......"

In that year, the king of Chengdu was enshrined in Shuzhou, and built a royal palace in Jincheng to build a large number of civil works. The accompanying officials and staff are all temporarily residing in Xiayang City. After that, everyone moved to Jincheng, and the facilities in Xiayang City were also retained. Over time, with the increase of merchants, Xiayang City developed rapidly, coupled with the establishment of Shangchuan Xue Palace, Xiayang City sprung up and became the second largest city in Shuzhou in the real sense.

Although Xiayang City is inferior to Jincheng, which has every inch of land, it has benefited from the rule of Tang Shaochi, the city pastor, and the people in the city have lived and worked in peace and contentment over the years, and its prosperity is one of the few in the world.

"Speaking of this Tang Shaochi, he can be regarded as the number one person. Yin Youcheng and Ye Baiyi walked side by side in the downtown area, inadvertently talked about Tang Shaochi, and said, "The king of Chengdu has been neglecting the government in recent years, and the situation of the entire Shuzhou has declined. However, Xiayang City, which was under the jurisdiction of Tang Shaochi, is thriving and has the momentum to become the largest city in Shuzhou. Even Jiaozhou Yizheng, who has been in the limelight recently, has mentioned this person many times in his book known as the first admonition in the world, thinking that he is a model for officials in the world. Tang Shaochi single-handedly runs the Shangchuan School Palace, he is good at the rule of officials, and he knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, as the chief university scholar of the Shangchuan School Palace, he is a Qu Cai in Shuzhou, but he does not compete with others. Sir, do you know what the highest means of being an official is? It's not like Yi Zhengjian who hangs his life on the people, but like this Tang Shaochi, he keeps his own one-third of an acre of land in an orderly manner, and can still turn around in the court, as smooth as jade. This advance can benefit the world, and retreat can save the life of the whole family, which is a far-sighted means. ”

There was nothing to say all the way, and several people found an inn to settle down. Yin Youcheng took the package wrapped in meteorite iron, and in order not to attract attention, he wrapped a few pieces of cloth, disguised it as clothes, and carried it on his back, and then said: "Since I have come to this Xiayang City, I just happened to visit a friend." My friend is in Shangchuan School Palace, Mr. Li might as well go with me to have a look. ”

"I'm going too!" said Shock, stretching out his hand.

Yin Youcheng took out a few grains of broken silver from his arms, handed them to Bai Yue'er and said: "There's nothing interesting in the school palace, don't go with you, just go around the city with Yue'er, and ask her to buy you two clothes, buy some rouge gouache, and the woman's family will dress herself up beautifully." ”

Shook his head in shock: "Anyway, you just want to get rid of me." ”

Yin Youcheng didn't have the heart to quarrel with her, so he went out with the package on his back. Night White Yi put away the bookcase and followed closely.

Shangchuan School Palace is built in the west of Xiayang City, close to Qingshan, lush forest and bamboo, far away from the city, full of poetry and books, no white ding, it is a rare pure place in Xiayang City.

The two came to the front of the Shangchuan School Palace, only to see that the boulder of Zhang Xu Gao was engraved with the four characters of "Shangshan Zichuan" to learn, and the night white clothes saw that the four-character pen was strong, and they were surprised.

There is no palace gate in Shangchuan Xue Palace, but each pavilion is guarded by a special person. At that moment, after Yin Youcheng and the two entered the palace, they found a passer-by wearing a bachelor's uniform and asked about the whereabouts of the person, and then Yin Youcheng said: "I am going to find that person named Yu Zhengting, who is my father's old friend, casting everyone." I asked him to help see if I could make a decent weapon out of this meteoric iron, and I might have to talk to his old man about it when the time came. Right now is the annual "palace test" of the school palace, Mr. might as well walk around in this school palace, and I will come when I go. ”

Night Baiyi nodded, wandering around the school palace alone. Night White is already extraordinary, but now he is dressed in white and carrying a long sword at his waist, which has attracted many female bachelors to look at him. Ye Baiyi had no scruples about this, and his expression was calm.

At this time, a figure rushed past from Ye Baiyi's side, and Ye Baiyi did not react after standing still, followed by another vigorous figure. Ye Baiyi looked at it and found that the former was an eleven or twelve-year-old child, unclothed, and his black and yellow skin was bare and red in the cold wind, but his black hair was neatly groomed, and the whole person looked indescribably awkward.

As for the latter, he is dressed in brocade clothes and has a handsome appearance, looking at this dress, he should be from the Shangchuan School Palace, and according to the purple moire at the collar, it can be seen that this person has a high status in the School Palace.
