Chapter 25 Do my best
Li Dioudi followed Xiahou Zhuo all the way. He looked at Xiahou Zhuo from time to time. Xiahou Zhuo was a little confused by him and couldn't help asking: "Why are you looking at me endlessly?"
Li Dioudiu said: "I think you must have a big secret."
Xiahou Zhuo hugged his chest: "I'll go, you can see this, I have two."
Li Diudiu was too young to understand how shameless Xiahou Zhuo said. Just because he didn't understand, Xiahou Zhuo felt that there was no meaning at all. He held his chest and sighed: "It's like playing the piano with you like playing the cow."
Li Dioudiu really didn't understand, but it didn't prevent him from being studious. After a moment, he still reacted and laughed.
Xiahou Zhuo seemed to look at the idiot at him at first glance. It was like you told someone a joke, and the other party had no expression. You thought your joke was not funny at all, but after a while she burst into laughter for no reason and said that you had teased her to death...
Tease me.
"Let's go to Fengming Mountain."
Xiahou Zhuo and Li Dioudiui arrived at the entrance of the inn, and he said to Li Dioudiui: "Go and call you master, I'll wait for you here, and we'll go to Fengming Mountain to have a look."
Li Dioudiu played: "Is it fun?"
Xiahou Zhuo said: "See what you are playing."
Li Dioudiu felt that Xiahou Zhuo had something else in his words.
When Li Diudiu entered the inn to find his master, Xiahou Zhuo turned around and entered the alley next to him. The two men were beaten to the point of bruised nose and swollen face had not left yet, and were pressed to kneel there. After seeing Xiahou Zhuo, the two men's faces became even more ugly.
"Do you know me?"
Xiahou Zhuo squatted in front of the two people and asked. The two nodded like pounding garlic. There was nothing else in their eyes except fear. I don’t know if they were scared to pee in their pants or were beaten to incontinence. They looked a little embarrassed, and their pants were still leaking, dripping.
Xiahou Zhuo said: "Since you know me, it's good to say. Go back and tell Sun Beihe, and then stare at Li Dioudiu and his master. I promise you will be thrown into the chasing ground outside the city, where there are wild dogs that eat dead human flesh."
When he got up, he patted one of them on the shoulder and said, "I never joke with people like you. Do you know me and they are wearing green clothes?"
Both of them shook their heads, and no one dared to lie, they really didn't know each other.
"Do you know the knife behind them?"
As Xiahou Zhuo finished speaking, the men in blue turned around immediately. Each of them had a long knife hanging behind them, the scabbard was exactly the same, with two words on it.
Array
"Array Knife!"
One of the guys who were beaten up had his eyes wide open. Obviously, the three words "Array Knife" were even more scary than the three words "Xiahou Zhuo".
If the blue-clothed array is arranged, those who are angry will die.
"Let's go."
Xiahou Zhuo waved his hand: "Don't forget what I said."
The two men got up and ran away as if they were amnesty.
Xiahou Zhuo said: "You all go back too. I'll go with my little brother. He is a trustworthy person. From now on, I will try my best to train him to become my successor."
"yes!"
Several men in blue bowed over and bowed without saying a word. They immediately turned around and left, obviously well-trained.
When Xiahou Zhuo returned to the entrance of the inn, Li Dioudiu and his master came down from the upstairs. When Taoist Changmei saw Xiahou Zhuo, he hurriedly bowed. The old man bowed first. Xiahou Zhuo thought it was his fault, so he quickly returned the bow.
The three of them left the inn and walked towards Fengming Mountain. Xiahou Zhuo introduced Fengming Mountain to the master and apprentice as he walked.
"You all know about the founding of the Great Chu country, right?"
Xiahou Zhuo said as he walked, "Our Great Chu royal family first raised an army in Jizhou. It is rumored that Emperor Taizu of Great Chu heard Feng Ming's guidance in that place, and paid homage to the colorful phoenix in the mountains. He was given a letter of military strategy to teach the heaven, so he raised an army to fight against Zhou."
Li Dioudi asked curiously: "Is it true?"
Xiahou Zhuo said: "What a nonsense, who has ever seen the Phoenix?"
The Taoist Changmei was startled and said quickly: "You can't talk nonsense. Taizu raised his army and received guidance from Tianyin. This is something that the people of Da Chu believe deeply, and it is not good to talk nonsense."
"Master, do you really think that the people of Great Chu believe it. As for me... forget it."
Xiahou Zhuo shook his head and sighed: "It's better not to say it."
Today, the Great Chu has reached the peak of public resentment. His Majesty the Emperor trusts the treacherous and slanderous, especially the eunuchs in the harem, whose power overtakes the court.
When the adults of the six ministers and nine ministers saw the eunuch named Liu Chongxin, they would kneel down and shout five thousand years old, what a bullshit world?
Not to mention the officials of the six ministries and nine ministers, the princes of the Chu royal family had to go forward to greet Liu Chongxin when they saw Liu Chongxin. The same was true for the prince to see him, and he had already been in chaos in the rules of the ruler and his ministers.
Those favored eunuchs frantically encircled land in various parts of Great Chu. Liu Chongxin was also from Jizhou and Laihu County, Jizhou. He was born in miserable form. Who would have thought that when he entered the palace to be a eunuch at a young age, he would get along so well with His Majesty today?
At that time, Your Majesty was only in his teens. Liu Chongxin was about the same age as him. The two were so close that they were almost inseparable. His Majesty inherited the throne at the age of 21. Liu Chongxin was named the cabinet's pen, and his power was the same as that of the cabinet's chief minister.
Later, the cabinet chief minister wanted to hand over some memorial to His Majesty the first time he had to go through Liu Chongxin's hand. Liu Chongxin said he could give it, but he said he could not give it, and he had to lean back on the big things.
Your Majesty is now forty-six years old. He had ignored the government affairs five or six years ago, and all government affairs were handled by Liu Chongxin.
So five or six years ago, the entire Laihu County was designated as his private land by him. There was a team of more than 10,000 people stationed in his hometown of Laihu County. This mansion only cares about guarding his ancestral home and is not allowed to take care of anything else.
So much so that except for Laihu County, there have been no civil unrest, other counties have been attacked by bandits many times. At first, the bandits did not dare to be too presumptuous, but later they found that as long as they did not attack Laihu County, they would not care about the troops in which they were fighting.
Long live Your Majesty, Liu Chongxin is five thousand years old, and the prince is thousands of years old, so the prince must bow when he sees Liu Chongxin.
When we arrived at the foot of Fengming Mountain, we were about to go up, and a few Taoists who were originally sitting in the chat at the intersection immediately moved the road away after seeing them. They were originally sitting there blocking the mountain road.
Xiahou Zhuo sighed and pointed to the courtyard uniform on Li Dioudiu: "Did you see it? This is the way of the world."
Fengming Mountain is just a small hill. How big can the mountains in the city be? It is not the city on the mountain, but the mountain on the city. Because of the legend of Taizu's rebellion, ordinary people in this place have to pay the Taoist temple if they want to go up.
There is a close-to-the-sky view on the mountain. Legend has it that Emperor Taizu of the Great Chu was obtained in the close-to-the-sky view, so now this mountain is from the close-to-the-sky view.
This is the first time that Li Dioudiu has a little disgusted with the courtyard clothes he has on him.
As he climbed the stone steps in the mountain, Xiahou Zhuo said as he walked, "The Great Chu is already ill and is terminally ill. There are more than 10,000 elite soldiers in Laihu County. With the combat power of the Great Chu soldiers, all rebellions under the rule of Jizhou can be eliminated, but without Liu Chongxin's order, no one can mobilize the soldiers."
These words scared the long-browed Taoist so much that he hurriedly said, "Young Master Xiahou, you can't say it anymore. Besides, it's the crime of beheading."
"I'm not afraid, you don't need to be afraid, there are no people on this mountain."
Xiahou Zhuocai ignored those things, and he said to himself: "Do you know why the people in Jizhou are so chaotic, but there is no rebellion in Youzhou, which is not far away?"
The long-browed Taoist naturally knew something, but he didn't dare to say that Li Dioudiu was still young, so he asked: "Why?"
As soon as he finished asking, the master knocked on his head: "What are you asking!"
Xiahou Zhuo said as he walked: "Because there is Yanyun Iron Cavalry in Youzhou, the border is further north of Youzhou, and there is an unparalleled Great Chu border army with unparalleled combat power. Besides, the Youzhou General Luo Geng is too slaughtering, who dares to provoke him?"
"Jizhou is different. Our Jizhou Jiedushi is still counting on those leaders who are in chaos to send money. Li Chi, don't you really think that Jizhou cannot quell the rebellion? Jizhou Jiedushi has 60,000 elite troops under his command, including the total number of soldiers in each county and county is 100,000."
"Our Jiedushi turned a blind eye on purpose. Those leaders of the civil unrest gave him money, so he just let the chaos go. Anyway, those people dare not attack Jizhou."
Li Dioudiu asked: "What if they dare?"
After hearing this, Xiahou Zhuo was silent for a long time, shook his head and said, "Da Chu is not terminally ill, but about to die."
These words scared the long-browed Taoist's face and he was almost going to cover Xiahou Zhuo's mouth. If this was what Li Diudiu said, he would have kicked Li Diudiu out with one kick.
"Look, I'll stop talking."
Xiahou Zhuo was frightened when he saw Changmei, sighed: "This world is because there are not many people who dare to speak, so it becomes more and more chaotic."
But in Da Chu now, it is a price to dare to speak.
Five years ago, the Censor Lai, the Censor of the Censorate, knelt outside His Majesty's palace gate and refused to leave. He counted Liu Chongxin's 72 death row crimes, each of which was enough for Liu Chongxin to kill nine clans. Lord Lai bleeded outside the palace gate and asked His Majesty to see him, but His Majesty asked Liu Chongxin to deal with it himself.
As a result, Lord Lai's family was convicted of treason, and a knight rescued Lord Lai's children. However, more than 40 people in Lai's family were executed by Lingchi.
The hero who rescued Lord Lai's children was wanted for a long time. Now there are still sea capture documents posted at the gates of the prefectures of various states, but they just can't be caught.
The hero called himself the second idle man in the world. He said that his surname was Li, and his ancestors were the famous idle man in the world.
In addition to Lord Lai, there was also a case of Lord Yuan, the Minister of Works. At that time, Liu Chongxin misappropriated the Ministry of Works' money to manage the river for millions of taels of taels of repairing his old house in Laihu County, so that the Jiangnan Canal broke the dike and flooded the people of the four counties.
Lord Yuan didn't want to take the blame, so he stopped the Holy Lord while His Majesty was traveling, kowtowed in front of His Majesty's imperial chariot and told the truth. However, His Majesty did not believe it at all, so he left it to Liu Chongxin for disposal.
The ending of this Lord Yuan is conceivable. He was sentenced to exterminate the three clans, for embezzling money from the Ministry of Works to fill his personal pockets.
But in fact, only more than twenty taels of silver were found in the search of Lord Yuan’s house, and even Jintingwei who went to search the house could not stand it.
The three of them walked up to the height of Fengming Mountain and sat there to see the entire Jizhou City.
"Li Chi, look."
Xiahou Zhuo pointed to the peaceful scene in the city and said, "A big city like Jizhou is the clothes that cover the shame of the Great Chu. If you take off these clothes, you will only have holes."
The long-browed Taoist burped in his throat, almost so scared that he was overwhelmed.
"But I'm still a Chu person."
Xiahou Zhuo's face looked so painful.
