Chapter XIII: Official Ranks

Cao Xu's family of three was arranged in the east wing, Liu Zhengfeng hurriedly came to visit, and after greetings, he asked Cao Xu to take a step to speak. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After the two left, Lin Zhennan sighed "sigh" and said: "Since this child has gone through the ordeal of life and death, he has been mysterious all day long, as if he has changed as a person, I don't understand him." ”

"The tribulation of life and death is the most experienced person, and if Ping'er can be promising, we should be happy. Mrs. Wang said.

Liu Zhengfeng led Cao Xu to a side hall and asked Cao Xu to sit down.

The two sat down separately, and Liu Zhengfeng looked at Cao Xu and didn't know where to start.

Later, a maid offered tea, Cao Xu picked up the tea slightly, and said, "The third master is puzzled by that letter? ”

"Save my family's life?" Liu Zhengfeng listened to a heartbeat, and remembered the six words written on the letterhead, "A catastrophe is coming, a holy decree." ”。

"A few days ago, my disciple of the Changsha Branch of the Fuwei Dart Bureau accidentally got a piece of news, saying that Liu Sanye donated a general to the imperial court, I don't know if there is such a thing?" Cao Xu put down the tea, looked at Liu Zhengfeng and said.

"It is true. Liu Zhengfeng nodded and said, "It's not a secret, the day when the golden basin washes its hands is the time when Liu is an official." By that time, Liu was already a member of the court, and he washed his hands in a golden basin, no matter how big the grievances were, would the people of the rivers and lakes still dare to find the court officials, kill the officials and rebel, it is a big crime to rob the family and destroy the family. In this way, you can get rid of grievances completely. ”

"Then Liu Sanye, do you know how many military attaches this staff member is?" Cao Xu asked with a smile.

"Counselor, although he is a general, he also has a ginseng character, it shouldn't be too big, even if the sesame mung bean is small, Liu feels that it is okay. Seeing Cao Xu laughing, Liu Zhengfeng said suspiciously: "I am a Jianghu person, I don't know much about officialdom, what kind of products does Lin Gongzi know?"

"Hahaha!" Cao Xu laughed for a while, then stopped laughing and said: "The general is a military attache of the third grade in my Ming Dynasty, ranking below the deputy general of the general army of a town, at least able to command three thousand troops. The third master, the governor of a province is also a second grade!"

Looking at Liu Zhengfeng, who was already difficult to sit down, Cao Xu continued: "My uncle and grandfather were born in martial arts, and later accumulated merit and was promoted to the deputy general of the second rank, precisely because someone in my Lin family became an official, and the business of the government came in a steady stream, and he couldn't even push it away, which laid the foundation of the Fuwei Dart Bureau." It's a pity that my grandfather died early, and after my uncle and grandfather also died, the two families broke off contact, otherwise how dare a Qingcheng faction beat my Lin family's idea. ”

"Adjutant general, staff general, this name doesn't sound very good, but it is a high authority. The official position of the third grade can be bought with money, and I dare to ask where did the third master buy the official? Although I was in the Ming Dynasty to control the military with literature, and the status of the military attache was lower, how can I say that it is also a third grade. Cao Xu said.

"The general is the third rank, the deputy general is the second rank, and the governor is only the second grade? This, how is this possible?" Liu Zhengfeng exclaimed: "Lin Gongzi, you mean that I was deceived when I bought the official, how is this possible, the day of the golden basin washing hands, it is set at the time when the holy decree arrives, and I have a guarantee that there will be officials and officials who will come to announce the decree with the holy decree." ”

"It's terrible to be uneducated. Cao Xu complained secretly, shook his head, and said: "Third master, let me tell you, the holy decree is from the emperor down, and it will not be the officials who convey the holy decree, let alone the officials, and the officials and the officials dare to do this kind of thing, it is a false holy decree, and it is to raid the family and exterminate the clan." ”

"What?" Liu Zhengfeng exclaimed, "Is what Lin Gongzi said true?"

"Third master, only the eunuchs in the palace can pass on the holy decree. Forget it, the third master, you can find someone who understands and ask about these things, and it will be clear. In a word, Third Master, you have been deceived, and the person who deceived you will never be a person in the court, but a person in the rivers and lakes who does not know much about the laws of the court, and can only deceive the ordinary people and ordinary people in the rivers and lakes. "It's too difficult to communicate, Cao Xu is really too lazy to say it.

The people who set up the bureau have little knowledge, and the people who are in the set are also stupid and cute, and in the original book, the officials took the messenger to pass the holy decree and named Liu Zhengfeng a general, and the heroes of the rivers and lakes only begged for a small official when Liu Zhengfeng groveled, and he lacked common sense about the court.

But then again, in the information age of later generations, many people often can't figure out what level of official a certain director is, and the official names of cadres at all levels are also very vague.

"The person who plotted to buy an official for the third master, either he teamed up with others to deceive you, or he was also deceived. This is the third master's own family matter, and it is inconvenient for me to interfere. With that, Cao Xu stood up and said, "It's late at night, I'll go back to rest." The third master stays, no need to send it. ”

Cao Xu had already walked away, and Liu Zhengfeng sat quietly in the side hall alone, thinking back to what Cao Xu had said before, and muttered to himself, "Deputy generals, staff generals, from the second grade to the third grade." ”

This night, Liu Zhengfeng didn't sleep well, and Yue Buqun didn't sleep well. Because that night, Cao Xu came quietly, left quietly, and exchanged "Zixia Divine Skill" from him with "Qingyu Riding the Wind Technique" under the name of Lin Yuantu.

As for why he came and went quietly, can this kind of thing be done with great fanfare? The disciples who were only accepted today will pass on the divine skills of the town sect at night, what do you let the other disciples think, and where is Ling Hu Chong, who is the senior brother?

Therefore, this matter can only be done quietly. Create the established facts first, and when the Wuyi branch is established in the future, everything will fall into place.

After waking up Liu Zhengfeng and exchanging cheats with Yue Buqun, Cao Xu kept the mental method of "Zixia Divine Skill" in his heart, directly burned the cheats, cleaned them, and then slept peacefully.

By the time Dongfang was exposed, Cao Xu had already gotten up. After washing, wait for the moment when the sun rises and the purple air comes from the east.

The Huashan faction is inherited from Hao Datong, the ancient son of the Seven Sons of Quanzhen, and can be regarded as a branch of the Quanzhen Sect. Wang Chongyang founded the Quanzhen Sect, advocated the equality of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, and put forward the harmonious doctrine that "the three religions have always been one ancestral style".

Quanzhen Dao is based on the "Tao Te Ching", "The Book of Filial Piety" and "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra", absorbing the filial piety of Confucianism and the insight of Buddhism, and on the basis of the Taoist Dangong, the Buddha and Confucianism are melted to achieve the purpose of becoming an immortal.

This point, in Zixia Divine Skill, has a prominent performance.

"The world's martial arts are based on qi training. Haoran righteousness was originally a ...... bestowed by God. Reciting the mantra of Zixia Divine Skill silently in his heart, Cao Xu waited quietly for the time.

Less tilting, but seeing the sun rising in the east, the sun is shining. The gaze is covered by colorful clouds, and the light and shadow are ever-changing in an instant.

Cao Xu concentrated on capturing the purple glow and reflecting its brilliance into his heart.

Is there any connection between the Zixia of Heaven and Earth Creation and the Zixia True Qi cultivated by the human body? The predecessors of the Huashan Qi Sect are all dead, and there is nowhere to ask.

Yue Buqun has been crossing the river by feeling the stones for many years, and the more he cultivates, the slower he becomes, and finally loses confidence in the martial arts handed down by his ancestors, and finally runs to fight the idea of the Lin family's "Sword Spectrum to Ward Off Evil Spirits".

Alas, they are all sins created by the two sects of sword qi. The sword qi is fighting because of the "Sunflower Treasure Book", which comes from the ...... of the Shaolin Temple in Putian.

Shaolin Temple, hey, what a Shaolin Temple.

The butt decides the head, Cao Xu, as the young dart head of the Fuwei Dart Bureau, and after he became a disciple of the Huashan School, his views on the whole thing immediately had a subversive change.

In the past, he thought that the sword qi battle of the Huashan faction was a death of greed, but now, he firmly believed that the sword qi battle was a conspiracy, a conspiracy to knock the Huashan faction from the peak and fall into the abyss.

There are still two days left before Liu Zhengfeng's golden basin handwashing conference, and Liu's mansion is still busy, and there seems to be no major change compared with yesterday. Liu Zhengfeng is kind to people and has a wide range of friends, but as the saying goes, how can you have a bodhisattva heart without thunderbolt means. Cao Xu believed that Liu Zhengfeng must have secretly made preparations, opened the big net, and waited for the fish to appear.

The residence of the disciples of the Huashan faction was very close to the three members of Cao Xu's family, and when they stayed in the room, they could hear their shouts and the sound of the blades colliding, but it was the disciples of the Huashan faction who were doing the morning class.

"Senior Brother Lin, Master ordered me to invite you over and do morning class together. Cao Xu was thinking about it, when Laudeno's voice came from outside.

"It's the second senior brother, when I take the blade, I'll go over. Cao Xu immediately responded.
