In the swordsman duel, the one who stands is the winner.

The wind was clear, the clouds were light, and it was a mess, and the Taoist temple, which had not been glorious for many days, was in ruins, and more than 20 corpses were buried in the earth and stones, bidding farewell to the world forever.

The last confrontation between Shen Fei and Shangguan Hongri, Bi Ji tried his best to fight hard, and the final result was a tie!

Both of them were badly wounded, and their bodies crumbled under each other's chilling swords (swords), centering on the place where they held their swords, and wounds of all sizes filled their bodies.

Shangguan Hongri is powerful after all, he is a top martial arts master, with strong martial arts, at the last moment, this strength is vividly reflected, with the power of the five ghosts to resist Shen Fei's sword of a hundred battles, bringing serious injuries to Shen Fei. Of course, he himself was not having a good time, the armor on his body collapsed, and large and small scars appeared on his fat body, which was shocking.

The two of them didn't have the strength to fight anymore, and the Inhumans returned to protect the Lord, Chu Xie stood by Shen Fei's side, and the spirits of the six little ones and the three thousand wild horses rushed in front, fangs and claws against the enemy.

Shangguan Hongri looked at Shen Fei stupidly and said, "That's it for today!"

Shen Fei replied to him with a fierce look: "It won't end like this, the grievances between the two of us will never end so easily, soon, soon you will pay the price for your actions." ”

"I'll wait. ”

Yiren led the way, and Shangguan Hongri and his party retreated like a tide. In this battle, he lost ten inspiration clansmen and two powerful generals, which can be described as heavy losses, but Shen Fei was not happy, the Taoist temple that he had worked hard to establish was destroyed, and the boss was dug out and did not know where to go, and the most important thing is that the great cause of preaching that had finally improved a little bit was destroyed in this way, and a large number of believers who had been harvested before would not dare to come in again even if the Taoist temple was rebuilt in the future.

It's hard!

The situation in the imperial capital is complicated, and there are murderous opportunities everywhere, what do you have to do to break the situation?

Shen Fei felt that the road ahead was bleak, he felt that if it continued like this, the chances of victory on Prince Lie's side were not great, and it was really difficult for him to create a world for Dao Sect in the mortal world.

"Hey!" With this sigh, Shen Fei fell into deep thought.

Of course, this incident was not all bad, at least Shen Fei gained a few apprentices with firm beliefs, especially Zhang Shisan, who was a person who made Shen Fei's eyes shine.

After recuperating from his illness, Shen Fei bought a new courtyard and called his disciples to give them a special seven-day teaching, during which Shen Fei taught them some deeper cultivation methods on the basis of the original, and then told them, "Changfeng and Thirteen, one of you two is a big brother who is steady and loyal, and the other is a young man who is fierce and decisive, and they are all people who value the teacher, and then reopen the temple here, re-establish the name of Taoism to promote the teachings of this religion, and teach the world to break through the fog and recognize their own mission." The teacher will come to see it regularly, and will help you solve any difficulties you encounter, and the teacher hereby appoints the thirteen as the deputy master, and he is responsible for all the affairs in the Taoist temple when the teacher is not there; Changfeng is the supervisor, responsible for supervising the thirteen, and if there is anything wrong with his behavior, he can report it to the teacher at any time.

From now on, the Taoist temple will be mainly maintained by a few of you, keeping the original routine unchanged, accepting disciples, not rejecting those who come, not leaving behind, and retaining the fire of Taoism in the human country.

There are more important things to do for the teacher, unless you encounter the danger of the last time, you will not get too involved in the Taoist temple things, and you must work together to keep your heart and build the Taoist temple well!"

"Master, how can the Thirteen He De be responsible for such a heavy responsibility. Zhang 13 knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Shen Fei said: "I said that you deserve it, and you must fully cooperate with the thirteen Taoist temples to run them well." ”

"Yes, Master!"

"Thirteen, once the last incident is over, the number of believers who come to worship the Taoist temple will inevitably decrease sharply, you must be fully psychologically prepared, abide by the teachings of the teacher, do not be greedy and rash, and when the teacher will deal with the things in his hands, the Taoist sect will naturally be revitalized, and the Taoist teachings will naturally be carried forward. ”

"Follow the teachings of the Master. ”

"Get up, from now on you are the disciples of the Taoist Sect, and the teacher allows you to accept apprentices, and there are three places under each person's name, remember. After settling down, Shen Fei left in the petal cloud. He thought about it and understood that his behavior had touched the bottom line of Buddhism before he would incur a joint attack from Buddhism and Shangguan Hongri, and it was necessary for him to stabilize and keep the scale of the Taoist Temple within a controllable range, not to perish or overly dazzling, only in this way can he survive and look forward to the rise one day.

That's why Shen Fei accepted Zhang Thirteen and them as official disciples, gave them names, and ordered them to take care of the Taoist temple and operate the Taoist temple, with their ability, coupled with the last blow, the Taoist temple would barely maintain it at most, and it would not be too prosperous, nor would it perish, which was enough.

Next, Shen Fei will go all out to deal with the Buddha Sect, Shangguan Hongri's attack made Shen Fei realize one thing, that is, if he does not completely solve the mastermind behind the scenes, his preaching in the human kingdom will not be possible at all, and the powerful Buddha Sect may put himself to death as long as he makes some small moves behind his back. Next, I must find a breakthrough in Buddhism to solve this worry.

- The road ahead is by no means smooth, the road ahead is full of thorns and unpredictable.

......

The battle between Shen Fei and Shangguan Hongri was well known in the imperial capital, and Shen Fei, who entered the court as a cloth cloth, proved the difference between him and Chu Xiu with his own actions, and proved that he was not a mermaid.

Shangguan Hongri finally stopped, and he came to the imperial capital with great ambition, and he thought he was going to do a big job, but he was hit hard again and again, and now he does not seek to expand his power, and hides in the mansion all day long. The old emperor always dared not touch him, because he controlled the military horses on the border and was the minister of the humerus, and the old emperor's attitude towards him was very ambiguous, and he often made some moves to ascend and descend secretly. This made Shangguan Hongri finally understand that no matter what, the chess players in this game were not himself, but His Royal Highnesses the princes with royal blood, and he was just a chess piece after all.

The solemn imperial capital finally obtained a few days of precious peace, but before the throne was passed, the wind and rain would not stop, and the surface comfort was just the calm before the storm.

A memorable letter was calmly placed among the hundreds of recitals in the upper study, and it was inconspicuous, but when the old emperor opened it, he was still shocked with his concentration.

Liu Yi saw that something was wrong with His Majesty the Emperor, and glanced at the fold with his eyes, and was also shocked, it turned out that the fold was actually written in human blood, stating the actions of the Ten Princes Tuoba Zhen.

After reading the contents, the old emperor closed the fold, leaned back on the back of the chair for a while, and then waved his hand: "Spread my will, today is not the time, the ministers face the saint!"

- The storm is back!

......

It is an obvious truth to cut down the grass to eradicate the roots, and when a person is down, he must be dealt a fatal blow, so that he can never get up again, so as to prevent a major disaster.

Tuoba Zhen was placed under house arrest because he killed His Majesty and was preparing to vigorously promote the reused wizard Chu Xiu, and there was never a letter of excerpt accusing him of anything wrong besides this matter, and what I saw in the study today was the first one.

This letter is written in blood, regardless of whether it is human blood, pig blood, horse blood, dog blood, or cow blood, in short, it expresses an attitude, an attitude of death.

The fold was placed in a wooden tray covered with gold paper, the plate was held by the great eunuch Liu Yi with both hands, the old emperor sat on the throne, his sharp eyes swept over the ministers who were like a man, and said coldly: "Do you know why I summoned you temporarily." ”

"I don't know. Anyone could hear that His Majesty's tone was not good, and they all fell to their knees.

"Isn't there anyone who knows!"

The crowd was silent.

"Well, read the contents of the fold to them. ”

Liu Yi got the emperor's order, stepped out from behind the dragon chair, two little eunuchs stepped forward to take over the tray, Liu Yi unfolded the fold, and read aloud in a shrill voice: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!

The strategic depth of the country, bordering Jinling in the east and Taihang in the north, is the hinterland of the country, and it is difficult to communicate with the outside world. In the twenty-eighth year of the emperor's reign, the ten princes suddenly came and used 100 acres of fertile land for their own use. The prince is a royal family, his status is respected, and although the enclosure of 100 acres of land is domineering, it is harmless, although the minister thinks it is disturbing the people, but considering the dignity of the prince's identity is not to be stopped. However, not long after, the wind direction changed abruptly, and the ten princes actually banned the civil fertile land as a city, and built a five-meter-high wall to block the eyes and ears of the outside world.

Three months later, the city was built, and no matter day or night, there would always be a sound of shouting and whistling in the city, as if someone was practicing. The minister thought it was inappropriate, and sent someone to sneak in to check, and found that the ten princes had privately collected a number of strong men, secretly training soldiers in that city, practicing formations, and building weapons, which seemed to have signs of bad intentions.

Not only that, but since the city was built, women in the county have often disappeared for no reason, and it is said that they were taken into the city and raped by dead soldiers in captivity, as a way to vent their animal desires.

The minister tossed and turned, couldn't sleep at night, thinking that the prince's behavior had lost his conscience, people and gods were angry, and there was a suspicion of conspiracy. ”

After reading the recital, the heads of the ministers were buried lower, and the voice of the old emperor came from above: "Who is in charge of that place?" ”

"Your Majesty, Zhulu is located in Lanzhou and is under the jurisdiction of Lanzhou Mansion Yin. "It was Tobe Shoshu who spoke.

"Why did such a bad thing happen in Lanzhou but didn't report it? ”

"This ...... I'm afraid that the only way to get the answer can be by inviting Lanzhou Mansion Yin over and asking. ”

"Lanzhou Mansion Yin naturally wants to ask, but it may not be an invitation, it is very likely that he was escorted, Zuo Zongzheng reported the situation I have sent someone to investigate, once it is found out, the city lord of Lanzhou is a serious dereliction of responsibility, and will be sentenced to death. But before that, I was more concerned about why such an important excerpt had been played so many times, but I had never seen it, let alone approved it, who was doing it!"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter is indeed strange and needs to be carefully investigated. The official Shangshu echoed rhetorically.

The old emperor was not happy and angry: "I actually said some useless nonsense, I need to find out if this is still worth you to say, I am investigating now, no matter what, I must find out the truth! Who is clearly reporting to me who is obstructing it and stopping it." ”

After saying this, the ministers were silent and silent.

The old emperor snorted coldly and said, "Zichu, you can talk about it!"

Tuoba Zichu clasped his hands into fists and raised his head a few points, but still did not look directly at the emperor, but looked down at the dragon's feet, and thought of the wording to report: "According to the decree of the empire, the county orders and the governors of all parts of the country have the right to write and perform things. The excerpts they played would be accepted by the post house and sent to the imperial capital through the official road, and if it was urgent, three feathers could be inserted on top of the excerpts, indicating that they were urgent for 600 li to indicate their importance.

When the recitals from all over the country enter the imperial capital, they will be unified in the central provinces, and the classification method is divided according to the different types of content played, and the state affairs can be divided into three categories, which can be divided into three categories. After the preliminary examination of these three types of officials in the central provinces, they will be reviewed by the prime ministers of the left and right, and those who are within the scope of the prime minister's power will be given their own instructions, and those outside the scope of their power will be submitted to His Majesty for review and approval. Without waiting for the old emperor to speak, Tuoba Zichu took a deep breath and continued: "This system is approved by Your Majesty, and the reason for this system is that the land area of the People's Republic of China is too vast, and there are many chores every day. ”

"That's right, that's right, Zichu is worthy of being the responsible person of the Central Province and is very familiar with your business. Then let's talk about what the criteria for the Central Province to determine whether it needs to be reviewed by me. ”

"It is clearly stated in the administrative guidelines of the Central Province that all matters concerning the fortunes of the country must be submitted to His Majesty for personal approval. ”

"What is a matter of national fortune?"

"For example, the impeachment of officials above the third grade, the misconduct of princes and nobles, wars, disasters, concubines, and so on...... In addition, the recitals of the officials of the imperial capital are directly submitted to His Majesty, without going through the central province. ”

"Zichu, as the supreme governor of the Central Province, you have a very thorough understanding of the reporting system of the empire's setbacks, which is very good. But I still want to ask you if you think that I have never received Zuo Zongzheng's excerpt and whether it has anything to do with your central province. ”

"Your Majesty, since the minister assumed the position of the left prime minister of the empire, he has made a decree that all the recitals submitted by the officials of the empire must be recorded in the corresponding post station, and they must be copied in the central province, backed up, and kept for three years, and can only be destroyed after three years.

According to Zuo Zongzheng, the time when the ten princes entered the deer was in the twenty-eighth year of the emperor's reign, four years ago, during which he wrote many folds and reports, if it is true, there must be a corresponding record, just check the comparison to judge the authenticity.
