Chapter Seventy-Seven: Temples and rivers are connected

I have to praise the efficiency of the Secret Guard Mansion is enough to make other yamen out of reach, and before the official will of the imperial court leaves the imperial capital, the people of the Jiangnan Secret Guard Mansion have already arrived at the Huzhou camp, and as soon as the secret decree that has been prepared is issued, the entire Jiangling camp surrenders.

Chen Qiong is not a big master in the realm of earth immortals, in front of many masters of the Secret Guard Mansion, without the protection of the Jiangnan army, he can only be captured obediently, and then he is put in a chain and escorted to the imperial capital.

Xu Beiyou was not surprised when he learned about this. Now that he has seen one after another raptors crossing the river, he has experienced one sinister storm after another, and now he is really a little idle to watch the clouds rise and fall.

It is said that officialdom is sinister, even if you are a court zaifu, there are times when you accidentally lose all the games, how many people can be as immobile as Lan Yu? How many people can make a comeback like Han Xuan? Most of the time, there is no possibility of going ashore after falling into the water.

The level of the official does not completely determine the real power of the official, and there are several governors of the second grade in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, which can be said to be high, but when it comes to weight, it is far inferior to the Secret Guard Mansion from the Governor of the second grade.

The rules of officialdom are that Beijing officials go out of Beijing at the third level, but there is a premise, that is, they must go out of Beijing.

On the contrary, the grade of many feudal officials is not too high, most of them are between the second and third grades, but when it comes to the real power in their hands, it is really the general emperor of the soil, because of this, the Great Qi court will change the old system of the previous dynasty, no longer have permanent governors, governors, chief military officers and other official positions, and divide the military and political power of a state into the three divisions and yamen, so that the political envoys, the envoys according to the inspection, and the commanders will contain each other, and it will not easily form a situation where the local government will confront and blind the imperial court.

In this case, the four major border armies of the left governor in the local area more and more high-powered, although can not directly intervene in local government affairs, but its influence can not be underestimated, after all, the officialdom is in the same place, everyone is the official, who has not asked for someone else's place in the future?

In the twenty-first year of Chengping, on August 23, the imperial court decree arrived in Langya Mansion in Qizhou, and Yu Kuang bid farewell to the king of Qi after receiving the decree, and officially rushed to Huzhou to take office.

At the same time that Xu Beiyou learned the news from Zhang Xueyao, there was also a big problem thrown to him by Zhang Xueyao, that is, how to get on the line with the new Governor of the Left Capital of the Rear Army.

In all fairness, this question may require a lot of thought for others, but for Xu Beiyou, it is not too much of a problem.

Don't forget that behind Xu Beiyou there is also a subordinate Han Ge Lao of the dynasty, as we all know, Han Xuan has no relatives and no reason, no wife and no children, only Xu Beiyou's adopted son is far away in Jiangdu, for many people who carry a pig's head but can't find the temple gate, Xu Beiyou is undoubtedly the temple gate.

If it weren't for this, how could several chief officials of the local three divisions be willing to put down their bodies and take the initiative to befriend Xu Beiyou, after all, the imperial court and the well water of the Sword Sect do not interfere with the river water, for the big and small officials in the south of the Yangtze River, the young master of the Sword Sect can't treat them, but the second auxiliary adopted son is enough to affect their official hats.

Yu Kuang's appointment as the governor of the left capital of the rear army this time was hand-picked by Emperor Xiao, and Han Xuan re-entered the cabinet from the mountain, which was also appointed by Emperor Xiao.

Take 10,000 steps back, put aside the relationship between Han Xuan, and simply talk about Xu Beiyou, then he can be regarded as Xiao Zhinan, the princess of Qiyang, and Xiao Zhinan and Xiao Bai are brothers and sisters of the same father and mother.

This is a network that belongs to Xu Beiyou, looking at the entire Jiangnan, no one can do better than Xu Beiyou.

In the twenty-first year of Chengping, on the first day of September, Yu Kuang arrived in Jiangnan alone, and he did not rush to Huzhou Daying, but went to Jiangdu first.

Xu Beiyou never thought that Yu Kuang would attach so much importance to him, and he didn't wait for him to visit, but he had already come to the door in person.

After learning the identity of the visitor, Xu Beiyou personally led Yu Kuang to the main hall, and after serving tea, he retreated, so that only the two of them were left in the hall.

This is the second time Xu Beiyou has seen Yu Kuang, compared with the last time, the identity is already very different, the last time Yu Kuang was just a three-product commander, or even just played the role of Xiao Bai Mafu, and now he has become the left governor of the rear army from the first product, and the military power of the huge Jiangnan is in his hands.

In front of Xu Beiyou, Yu Kuang did not show another side of himself, he was still a taciturn martial artist, Xu Beiyou had to take the initiative to speak: "I don't know if Lord Yu suddenly visited, what are you doing?"

Yu Kuang said directly: " Xu Beiyou, I was ordered to check your details, last year and crown, that is to say, you were born in the first year of Chengping, Xihe Prefecture Danxia Village under the jurisdiction of Xiaofang Zhai people, orphans, adopted by Han Xuan since childhood, Chengping ten years, Gongsun Zhongmou went to Xiaofang Village to visit Han Xuan unsuccessfully, but inadvertently met you, and left Tianlan a sword and three sword moves, Chengping 20 years, you met Princess Qiyang and Duanmu Yu and other people in Danxia Village, gave them a guide to guide the way, got a thousand taels of silver, and then went to Zhongdu alone, was involved in the matter of Chonglongguan, fortunately Gongsun Zhongmou rescued him, and thus officially became Gongsun Zhongmou's descendant disciple......”

Xu Beiyou interrupted Yu Kuang's words softly, "It's one thousand and one hundred taels, only one hundred taels is the cost of my guide, and the remaining one thousand taels are fought out by me with my own sword." ”

Yu Kuang smiled, "One thousand taels, now you are afraid that you will never put a thousand taels of silver in your eyes again, if you can go to the point of the Great Sword Immortal Shangguan Immortal in the future, and then I want to ask you to take out the sword, it is not a matter of how much silver." ”

Xu Beiyou's voice was neither happy nor sad, and he said calmly: "I still have the 1,000 taels of silver." ”

Yu Kuang didn't comment on this, and asked instead: "Do you know how much Emperor Zheng Shenzong paid when he asked Shangguan Xianchen to take action in person?"

Xu Beiyou shook his head.

Yu Kuang's tone was quite playful: "Then let me tell you, the three overseas immortal islands that Zheng Shenzong gave to Shangguan Xianchen back then are almost equivalent to splitting the earth and sealing the king, and the value of them can no longer be estimated in gold and silver." ”

Xu Beiyou asked softly, "Why do you say this?"

The corners of Yu Kuang's mouth pulled into a smile and said, "I hope that you can become the second Shangguan Xianchen one day, and at that time, the master behind me is also willing to follow the example of Zheng Shenzong back then and ask you to make a move." ”

Xu Beiyou's expression was solemn, and after a moment of silence, he said slowly: "Whether it is Emperor Dazheng Shenzong or my ancestor Shangguan Xianchen, both of them have failed to die well. ”

Yu Kuang seemed to have expected Xu Beiyou to ask this question, and finally showed a bit of grandeur and said: "The times make heroes? Or do heroes make the times?" I secretly thought that the times made heroes, and the same people would have different results under different times, and the Confucian masters and sages once said that life and death are fate, wealth and nobility are in the sky, and how many of them are mediocre people? It's just a matter of success or failure. ”

Xu Beiyou asked: "At the beginning, the enemies of Shizu and Emperor Shenzong were Emperor Xiao and the old head of the Dao Sect, Zichen, but I don't know who His Highness behind you is going to attack again?"

Yu Kuang shook his head and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this. ”

Xu Beiyou then asked, "Lord Yu is here to talk to me about this?"

Yu Kuang said: "The main thing is to see you, although you are now in charge of the Sword Sect, but the real power is still in the hands of Zhang Xueyao, after all, she single-handedly rebuilt the Jiangnan Sword Pavilion, can make you the speaker of the Sword Sect in one sentence, and can also make you lose your current status in one sentence, according to this, I should have gone to see Zhang Xueyao, the reason why I want to see you first is because of your relationship with Han Ge Lao." ”

Xu Beiyou was silent.

Yu Kuang said: "I can tell you the truth, now there are two parties in the temple, not the former Blue Party and the Han Party, but the Xiang Party and the Imperial Party, I, Han Ge Lao, Zhang Wuxi, can be regarded as people in the Imperial Party, and even the Sword Sect can also be classified as the Imperial Party, because the Blue Picture is friendly with the Daomen, and because His Majesty once had a gentleman's agreement with Sun Zhongmou, the master of the Ling. ”

Xu Beiyou was silent for a moment, and finally spoke: "So in any way, I am a member of the imperial party?"

Yu Kuang got up and said: "There are some things, you can't escape if you want to, you can't escape it, you lose it, you get it, the temple and the rivers and lakes have always been one, and the day when you go from the rivers and lakes to the temple will not be too far." ”
