Chapter 89:
Outside Nanyu Mansion.
In a mountain range.
Cheng Lidong's figure was very fast, and he was chasing a figure.
"Don't run away, I'm here to cooperate with you."
Cheng Lidong spoke with a somewhat anxious tone.
But the latter didn't react at all and continued running.
At that moment, Cheng Lidong took out a pill from his arms, and after swallowing it, his speed instantly increased by 30%, overtaking the latter.
"Brother, don't run away. I'm here to cooperate with you. Don't worry, I will never betray you."
Cheng Lidong opened his mouth and stopped the other party.
This was a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance. After being stopped by Cheng Lidong, he swallowed a blood-red pill without saying a word.
"Cheng Lidong, do you think I'm a fool? Are you asking me to cooperate? You already know my identity when you chase me. As a quasi-hundred householder and a dog official of the Wei Dynasty, you are asking me to cooperate? What are you cooperating with?"
"Let me tell you, I joined the Baiyi Sect since I was a child and went through life and death for the Baiyi Sect. My life was given to me by the sect leader, and I will return it to the sect leader today."
The middle-aged man spoke coldly, with a look of determination on his face.
Cheng Lidong stood with a sword in hand, looked at the other party, shook his head and said, "You misunderstood. Although I am an official of the imperial court, I have resigned from the post of quasi-hundred households. I came to you to cooperate because I want to join the Baiyimen."
"If I lied to you, I would have done it a long time ago. Do I still need to talk nonsense here? Besides, I am going to meet the people above with you now. Are you white-clothed sect afraid of me, a quasi-hundred household?"
Cheng Lidong said from the bottom of his heart, and he did not hesitate to make an oath.
And what he said is absolutely correct. How could a dignified white-clothed family be afraid of a member of nearly a hundred households?
Seeing the determination on Cheng Lidong's face, the man in white clothes hesitated a little, and then looked at Cheng Lidong's determination on his face and couldn't help but look angry.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
He clenched his fists and roared.
"You just kept running away, how can I tell you?"
"And isn't it the same now?"
Cheng Lidong frowned slightly, not understanding why the other party spoke like this.
"It's different. I just swallowed the Juemai Pill and my life is gone. Cheng Lidong, you bastard."
When he said this, he spit out a mouthful of blood, and then lay straight on the ground, extinguishing his life.
Cheng Lidong: "."
He was a little confused. He really didn't expect that the Baiyimen would be so determined and directly swallowed the pulse-breaking pill. He would rather die than be captured alive by him.
Damn it!
Cheng Lidong clenched his fists. He was a little angry and a little annoyed when he saw this scene.
Ever since Xu Qingxiao left Nanyu Mansion, he began to secretly investigate another matter.
Traces of the White Clothes Gate.
Wu Yan is a member of the Baiyi Sect. If he hands something to Xu Qingxiao, it means that Xu Qingxiao must meet with the Baiyi Sect. If he joins the Baiyi Sect, he can cooperate with Xu Qingxiao.
Yes, he still wants to cooperate with Xu Qingxiao. Whether he will kill Xu Qingxiao is another matter. He hates Xu Qingxiao and hates Xu Qingxiao to death, but he knows better what to do that is good for him and what to do that is not good for him.
In the end, he chose to compromise and wanted to cooperate with Xu Qingxiao, but he knew that Xu Qingxiao would not be able to cooperate with him.
Especially now, Xu Qingxiao clearly understands that it is impossible to cooperate with him.
Previously, he had hoped that Xu Qingxiao would fail in his clear intention and be suppressed by the court, so that there would be opportunities for cooperation.
But now there is none.
So he thought of another way, to find the Baiyi Sect and cooperate with the people from the Baiyi Sect, so as to get the real handle on Xu Qingxiao.
But now it seems that this method still doesn't work.
He went through a lot of hard work to find a disciple of the White Clothes Sect hiding in Nanyu Mansion, but he died like this.
Unwilling! Unwilling! Extremely unwilling!
The disciples of the Baiyi Sect didn't know why they suddenly evacuated the entire Nanyu Mansion overnight, leaving only this chess piece behind. They escaped today and were caught by themselves, but they didn't expect such a result.
"Xu Qingxiao! You are really a beast!"
Cheng Lidong clenched his fists. Although this matter had nothing to do with Xu Qingxiao, it did not stop him from scolding Xu Qingxiao angrily.
Let out a long breath.
Cheng Lidong's eyes were cold. Based on the current situation, there was a huge gap between him and Xu Qingxiao. He even said that if he dared to go to Xu Qingxiao again, he would probably be killed by Xu Qingxiao.
So he had to take another path.
Although this road is very risky, he still has to take it. It is impossible for him to watch Xu Qingxiao rise steadily, and it is absolutely impossible for him to watch Xu Qingxiao monopolize the treasure.
Absolutely impossible.
The next moment, Cheng Lidong left this place and disappeared.
The next day.
Kyoto of the Great Wei Dynasty.
All civil and military officials went to court as usual, but the only difference today was that the military officers laughed louder and the Confucian officials were more silent than before.
Everyone knows what happened yesterday, and many people are waiting to see the jokes of the Confucian officials when they go to court today.
Although this group of Confucian scholars issued a statement, in a sense, they still won, but these military attachés don't care whether you win or not, there must be a good show in the court today.
"Enter the palace."
With a loud voice.
All civil and military officials entered the palace in order.
After all the officials entered the palace, everyone began to kneel down and worship.
"Long live my emperor, long live me."
The voice fell behind and the voice of the empress sounded.
"Plain body."
At that moment, everyone got up, as they did every day. For the first half of the hour, they were still discussing state affairs, and they were all in harmony with each other.
After the discussion on national affairs was completed, everyone began to fall silent.
It's normal for Confucian officials to be silent. After all, they don't want to take the initiative to bring it up. Why bring it up? Looking for scolding?
It's normal for the military attaches to be silent. If the Confucian officials don't speak, they can't complain. It's not that they can't take the initiative to make trouble, but they have to have a predestined relationship, otherwise they will look like they are siding with Xu Qingxiao.
There are many unspoken rules in the court, and you can't mess with them.
Every word, every action, and even every speech represents an attitude, so you should not speak nonsense in the court. After all, those who speak nonsense will either be let go or disappear.
At this moment, the Queen's voice sounded.
"My beloved sirs, what happened to Xu Qingxiao?"
Her voice rang out, and she took the initiative to bring up the matter, which was considered to be a good start.
Once these words were said, the Confucian officials could not pretend they had not heard them.
"Back to Your Majesty, we have investigated this matter clearly. Yan Lei did make some mistakes and was unfair. Therefore, the great scholar of Zhengming has punished Yan Lei and told the world's scholars that he is responsible for this matter. Xu Qingxiao has no fault."
In the court, it was Wang Jing who stood up again and said this.
In front of the emperor, you can't say that Xu Qingxiao went astray. This is to disgust Xu Qingxiao, not to disgust the emperor.
"Since the matter has been investigated clearly, it is best to let the matter end here."
The empress's voice continued to sound. She is the emperor. She will not favor anyone, nor will she deliberately punish a group of people. In the court, the art of balance is the most important. Unless she needs it, otherwise everything will end up being a big deal.
Make small things small.
At this moment, the military attache's voice sounded.
"Your Majesty, I have a different opinion."
Among the military attaches, Zhao Yan still came out.
"I believe that Xu Qingxiao was innocent in this matter. However, in the morning before yesterday, Wang Jing angrily rebuked Xu Qingxiao. Without investigating the truth of the matter, he slandered Xu Qingxiao in various ways, causing Xu Qingxiao to suffer unjust injustice."
"If others are fine, but this matter affects the world's scholars, Xu Qingxiao is reviled by the world's scholars for no reason. If we just let it go, wouldn't it be unfair to Xu Qingxiao?"
"Furthermore, Xu Qingxiao has not yet entered the court, and he has a pure heart. It would be unfair to settle this matter hastily. Therefore, I suggest that if Xu Qingxiao is innocent, Confucian officials should be severely punished in this matter."
Zhao Yan opened his mouth and made his attitude very clear.
If Xu Qingxiao has no fault, then there is something wrong with you. You have not investigated clearly and slandered others' reputations. Moreover, you are still a passionate person who is dedicated to serving the country. If you just forget about it, how will the people in the world view the imperial court?
Zhao Yan's words can be said to be merciless.
Seize this opportunity and severely attack these Confucian officials. After all, there will not be such a good opportunity next time.
As soon as he said this, Wang Jing's voice sounded.
"Your Majesty, there are many misunderstandings about this matter. Although I am a little impulsive, the reason is that Xu Qingxiao has slandered the holy will, so I am angry at the moment. I hope your Majesty will learn from it."
Wang Jing opened his mouth and threw all the blame to the saint.
"It's a joke. You slandered Xu Qingxiao and caused Xu Qingxiao to suffer a huge reputation. Now you have found such an excuse. Saint, saint. Fortunately, the saint has passed away. Otherwise, the saint would not know how to respond to your words."
Zhao Yan spoke, he was not a Confucian scholar, so as long as he did not humiliate the saint, there was no harm in saying something like this.
"You, Zhao Yan, you insulted the saint."
Wang Jing scolded angrily.
"Here we go again, here we go again."
"Your Majesty, I also have great respect for saints, but these Confucian officials always use saints to oppress others."
"I would like to ask, is this the Chaotang? Or the Wen Palace? If it is in the Wen Palace, I am guilty, but if it is above the Chao Tang, I do not feel it is an insult to the saint."
Zhao Yan spoke, and the scene suddenly became extremely quiet with one sentence.
Especially Wang Jing, his face instantly turned pale, and many Confucian officials also changed their expressions.
He was tricked and tricked by Zhao Yan.
On the surface, Zhao Yan said this to explain himself, but what was he actually saying?
Are you talking about whether the emperor has greater power or the saint?
Since ancient times, Confucian officials have worshiped saints, with saints in front and imperial power in the rear. According to this logic, this does not matter. After all, they are saints, so it is normal to give them some face.
Furthermore, the saint is no longer alive, so he is equivalent to a mascot and a spiritual symbol. Often, during some major events, the emperor would go to the Wen Palace to pay homage to the saint.
But these are just for the sake of pacifying the minds of scholars in the world.
Who is more powerful, the saint or the emperor? Anyone with any brains knows this question. Naturally, the power of the emperor is greater than that of the saint.
Because saints are used for worship and as spiritual pillars. When you literati gather together, you can praise the saints any way you want. It is normal for the emperor to be inferior to the saints. After all, the emperor is also a human being and has selfish motives and desires.
.
But when it comes to the court, the emperor is great. If the emperor is not great, then the saint is great? Then why don't the saints control the world?
Zhao Yan's words were completely intended to put Wang Jing to death.
"Your Majesty! This place is naturally a court. Wang Jing is a scholar. It is normal to respect the saints. His words are just based on the facts. I hope your Majesty will learn from it."
At this time, someone spoke, it was a great scholar, Zhou Lining, Zhou Daru.
He opened his mouth to explain to Wang Jing, otherwise Wang Jing would be in trouble.
"What Zhou Ru said is not true. The way of respecting saints is understandable. However, what Wang Jing did does not agree with it. Your Majesty, I feel that what Zhao Yan said is very true. I believe that Confucian officials should be severely punished, or at least participate in it."
All the Confucian officials who had experienced this incident had their posts reduced to show the world."
"Let the people of the world know that the court's heart is like a clear mirror. Right is right and wrong is wrong. There is absolutely no selfish clique or collective suppression."
Duke An Guo's voice sounded.
If the other party sends a great scholar, it is impossible for An Guogong not to be there. After all, he has spoken out for Xu Qingxiao before, so he is a good person who will do it to the end and give Xu Qingxiao a big gift.
"Your Majesty! What Mr. An Guo said was an exaggeration. In this matter, Yan Lei and Daru Yan were indeed unfair. However, Xu Qingxiao said that he was not at fault, but whether he was at fault or not has not yet been thoroughly investigated."
"I think it is good for the matter to end here. As for the matter of scholars in the world, I have also issued an official document, and I hope that Qingxiao will be innocent."
Zhou Lining spoke up and explained.
"What a joke, Zhou Ru, do you really think I can't understand your message?"
"Obviously, it is said that you have done it, but in fact, you continue to slander Xu Qingxiao for going astray. You are really hurting others. You ignore your own mistakes and force Xu Qingxiao into a desperate situation. You are really a role model for others and a great Confucian."
"Aren't you scholars afraid of being punished by God for doing this? If the saint is resurrected that day, I'm worried that the saint will take action to destroy you."
An Guogong had been waiting for this sentence, but now that the other party said it, he immediately started to complain.
A bunch of shit.
"An Guo Gong! He has made countless contributions to the Wei Dynasty through his lifelong battles, but he has not read many books. Zhou understands and does not argue with An Guo Gong. After all, An Guo Gong has made great contributions to the country."
Zhou Lining was not angry, at least not openly, but his words were also very damaging. He directly scolded An Guogong for not studying and being too lazy to argue with you.
"Oh, I have been fighting with the late emperor for many years. It is true that I have not studied for many years, but I also know that wrong is wrong and right is right. How can I be like you who know that you are wrong but do not admit it?"
"Oh, I understand. It turns out that this is what studying is for. Okay, I will let my children and grandchildren study more in the future, so as not to do something wrong and be insulted by others."
Who is An Guogong?
Although he hasn't read much, he has at least read a little bit. He has fought in battles all his life and has gained a lot of knowledge. Moreover, he has been in the military camp for how many years? He still doesn't have this bit of talkative skills?
"Dong An Guo was joking. If you really understand the Holy Word, you won't be able to say what you just said. But it's okay. If An Guo Gong doesn't mind, you can send your children and grandchildren to Zhou's home. Zhou will definitely teach you well. It's okay."
The combination of civil and military affairs will leave a good story."
Zhou Lining was worthy of being a great scholar, and he was very good at nourishing qi. He was not angry at all, but what he said made the military attachés a little annoyed.
Isn’t this just to say that you, An Guogong, are an uneducated man and can’t teach your children and grandchildren? Let me teach you.
It is not unusual for two people to quarrel in the court.
At this moment, the Queen's voice sounded.
"alright."
A calm voice sounded, and the two groups of people immediately fell silent.
"Early this morning, Xu Qingxiao asked the Lord of Nanyu Mansion to send someone a letter. Please listen to Xu Qingxiao's thoughts first."
She opened her mouth and told something.
Everyone was a little curious at the moment, wondering what kind of letter Xu Qingxiao had sent.
Soon Wan'er took out the letter and began to recite.
"Student Xu Qingxiao, please pay homage to Your Majesty."
"Students have made mistakes again and again. One or three days ago, at a banquet in the Nanyu Mansion, they angrily scolded Yan Lei, a great scholar. This is because students do not respect their elders. Yan Lei, a great scholar, is already old. It is really inappropriate for students to behave like this.
Yes, I hope your majesty will forgive me, and I hope all the great scholars will forgive me. For this reason, I am willing to go to a poor place and teach for three years to make up for these mistakes."
"Second, the students defended the people's grievances, ignored the strictness of the law, acted arbitrarily, and then attracted the people to the streets. The students were wrong in this matter. The mistake was that they failed to resolve the matter properly. They only relied on temporary anger. The students
We should report to the great Confucian Yan Lei and have a detailed discussion. If the great Confucian Yan Lei is unwilling, the student should find another great Confucian. If the other great Confucian is unwilling, he should go to Beijing to face the sage. The world is so big that there will always be people who can avenge grievances, so the student begs Your Majesty."
"Forgive the sins of the people. The student is willing to accept all punishments. I hope your majesty will learn from it and have mercy on the people of the world."
"Thirdly, students should not make statements at this time. Zhu Sheng means that all of us scholars are eager to learn. The ministers in the court and the famous Confucian scholars in the world are also Zhu Sheng's disciples. They have contributed to the great Wei Dynasty throughout their lives and have done a lot for the world's scholars.
If a student is reckless, preaches and preaches, and disobeys the famous Confucian, he should wait quietly and concentrate on studying. It is not too late to preach again after three to five or three years, so as not to disobey the famous Confucian."
"Student Xu Qingxiao deserves death. I hope your Majesty will forgive you."
Wan'er's voice resounded throughout the hall.
At this moment, everyone became quiet.
It's just that everyone has different expressions, and all the Confucian officials have ugly faces.
The military attaches, on the other hand, were all a little weird and seemed to be suppressing laughter.
This letter from Xu Qingxiao can be described as heartbreaking.
The first sentence is to make progress by retreating. Learn from Wei Wengong. You take the initiative to admit your mistakes, and I also take the initiative to admit my mistakes. My mistake is that Yan Lei is so old. It is normal to rely on the old and act in vain. As a young man, I have to endure it.
Why not?
If you punish Yan Lei for copying the Holy Word, then I will go to a poor place to educate the people. It is ten thousand times better than you copying something, right?
Of course, if Xu Qingxiao is so talented, the court will definitely not let him do this, so it is just a nice word.
The second sentence is even more incredible. He did not avenge himself or complain, but interceded for the people, and stood firm from a moral standpoint. The Wen Palace of the Great Wei Dynasty won the hearts of the literati in the world with Zhao Wen, and Xu Qingxiao continued to win the hearts of the people.
There are many scholars in the world, but there are even more common people in the world.
At the same time, Xu Qingxiao also ridiculed Zhu Sheng's lineage, thinking that he was wrong because Yan Lei was unreasonable, so there would always be people in the Wen Palace of the Wei Dynasty who could be reasonable? If the Wen Palace of the Wei Dynasty was unreasonable, then the emperor would always be reasonable, right? Isn't that difficult?
If you don’t succeed, there won’t be a reasonable person?
But it was the third sentence that made the military attache extremely happy.
Are you not saying that I, Xu Qingxiao, have gone astray? I, Xu Qingxiao, do not think that I have gone astray, but that I have made my statement too early.
After all, there are still great scholars like you in this world, who are relying on the old and selling themselves off, and do not allow young people to come forward. I should have waited three or two or three years until you are all dead, and I will come and make a statement, so that nothing will happen.
My my.
This letter and the three confessions are all satirizing the disciples of Zhu Sheng's lineage.
But the technique is the same as that of Wen Gong of the Great Wei Dynasty, which can be said to be treating the other person's body in his own way.
Good guy.
Good guy.
All the officials understood that Xu Qingxiao was definitely not the kind of scholar who only studied books, and his resourcefulness was by no means trivial.
"Your Majesty, what Xu Qingxiao said is absolutely true. I can see that Xu Qingxiao is also willing to stop here. I wonder how your Majesty will decide?"
At this moment, Zhou Lining seized the opportunity to speak.
Although there is something in Xu Qingxiao's letter, the most beneficial thing for them right now is to reduce big things to small things.
Otherwise, if you continue to pull it off, it will only become more and more troublesome.
If the opponent was a military attache, they would definitely be willing to pull it off, but the person on the opposite side is just Xu Qingxiao.
He is a person, a person who has no effect on the court at all. Even if Xu Qingxiao is sentenced to death, they will not get any benefit. On the contrary, if Xu Qingxiao catches him, he will not let go.
They are losing blood, especially this group of military attachés, who are watching the fire from the other side. The Confucian officials are not so stupid, so they must resolve this matter quickly.
"alright."
The empress said, "When the trouble has reached this level, she really needs to settle it, and she can't keep dragging it out forever."
"In passing my decree, Xu Qingxiao angrily denounced the great Confucian scholar. In fact, he was an innocent citizen. Out of anger, he punished Xu Qingxiao to go to Beijing. After that, he wrote a letter to Yan Ru to apologize. However, Yan Lei enforced the law unfairly and fined him half a year's salary."
"The chaos among the people in Nanyu Prefecture is actually a misunderstanding. There is no civil uprising. However, the tax of Nanyu Prefecture will be increased by 30% for one year as a warning. Li Guangxin, the ruler of Nanyu Prefecture, has improper supervision. I would like to thank him for his contribution.
If the debt is offset, the salary will be fined for another year."
"As for Xu Qingxiao's self-sin, he is willing to go to a poor place to educate people and teach to make up for it. I agree, but now the Wei Dynasty is in ruins and needs a large number of talents, so it is temporarily exempted. He will enter the capital as soon as possible within ten days to serve the country."
"But Wang Jing, a Confucian official, did not investigate the cause of the matter, slandered the innocence of others, and caused farce. He was the first to commit the crime and was dismissed from his official position. He was banned from the official position for life."
"Retreat from the court."
The Empress of Wei opened her mouth and concluded the whole matter.
All the Confucian officials were somewhat silent, especially Wang Jing, whose face was ashen.
He knew that he had become a scapegoat. Although the Wen Palace of Wei Dynasty would not give up on him and he would not be any worse for the rest of his life, he would lose almost everything after leaving the court.
"Long live my emperor, long live me."
Everyone did not dare to say anything and stood up to retreat. His Majesty had already spoken, so they could only strictly implement it.
The military attaches were all smiles and walked with a breeze.
The Confucian officials were silent and felt a little complicated.
As for civil servants, please remember it carefully to avoid encountering this kind of thing in the future.
To put it bluntly, don't show off if you have nothing to do. Look at Wang Jing, is he okay now? He is only forty years old. Logically speaking, it will be no problem to become a fifth-rank official in the future.
Now there is nothing left, this is the imperial court.
Say the wrong thing, stand in the wrong line once, and you can go home.
Don't feel like there is someone behind you, unless there is the emperor behind you, and the emperor unconditionally trusts you, otherwise, no matter who is behind you, if you make a mistake, you can go home.
This is not bad, but it would be miserable to be dismissed from office and sent to the frontier.
The officials left.
It wasn't until after leaving the palace that some of the military officers couldn't help but say.
"It seems that Xu Qingxiao is really a member of my military strategist. Tsk, tsk, I can't write this letter without any energy!"
"Yes, yes, with this person in our military strategist, we will be very prosperous in the future."
The military attachés laughed and said that before, they only thought that Xu Qingxiao might lead the military expedition, but this was also possible.
But now Xu Qingxiao's letter has made the Confucian officials angry, making them convinced that Xu Qingxiao is the leader of the attack.
"Well, if Xu Qingxiao can be properly trained and trained, maybe the Northern Expedition can be brought forward."
"Yes, the officials over the years have all been wimps, all advocating recuperation and recuperation for the people's livelihood. This Xu Qingxiao, it seems like he can fight at first sight."
They laughed and talked, deliberately telling the Confucian officials to listen.
"It's not necessarily true. Xu Qingxiao is a scholar, so maybe he doesn't want to raise an army at all."
Some Confucian officials couldn't help but speak, and said something strange and angry.
But when they said this, they themselves didn't believe it. Tianjitai had already said that Xu Qingxiao had ordered the army to attack.
Basically, it can be concluded that Xu Qingxiao should join the Ministry of War.
"It's okay if you don't want to raise an army. At least it's better to be different from the rotten scholars like you."
"Let's go, I am happy today, come to my house to have a drink and celebrate."
A public official said that he was usually criticized by these Confucian officials. Today, he finally saw that the Confucian officials were defeated. Aren't you happy?
They left with a smile, leaving a group of Confucian officials angry.
"Don't say any more. Let's discuss it when we go back. If Xu Qingxiao comes to Beijing, the Northern Expedition will only get worse."
Someone among the Confucian officials spoke with inexplicable emotion.
Because everyone knows that Xu Qingxiao should be the one who advocates military conquest.
In this way, the imperial decree spread throughout the Wei Dynasty.
The people of Nanyu Prefecture were completely relieved. Although taxes had been increased by 30%, at least they understood that gathering people together was a major event in all dynasties, even if they encountered a more ruthless emperor.
It is not an exaggeration to behead all of them. Fortunately, they did not make trouble, but only supported silently.
Therefore, the punishment imposed by the court is not too severe.
In the Li Mansion.
When Xu Qingxiao saw the imperial edict, she fell into silence.
The content of the imperial edict is word for word.
But Xu Qingxiao saw a lot of information from it.
Forcing himself to write a letter to apologize to Yan Lei was a form of favoritism. After all, it was just a letter. We couldn't openly have a life-and-death feud. Xu Qingxiao fully understood and agreed with it.
Penalizing Yan Lei with half a year's salary is actually a warning to the Confucian official group.
And the dismissal of Wang Jing is an attitude, which shows that His Majesty is somewhat dissatisfied with the current Confucian official force. Otherwise, there is no need to go to this extent. Wang Jing is not a high official, but Wang Jing is a member of the Confucian official force.
Removing him is nothing more than telling the Confucian officialdom that the world still belongs to the emperor.
As for exempting herself from going to a poor place to educate people, Xu Qingxiao saw the emperor's balancing act, because this exemption was temporary.
What does "temporary" mean? It's just that if you do well and serve the country, then you can be an official honestly. If you don't serve the country well, what are your selfish motives, then you can go back to teach in the countryside honestly.
People have gone.
"The emperor is still an emperor. No one who can be an emperor is stupid."
Xu Qingxiao felt a little emotional, and he instantly understood the hidden content of the imperial edict.
Especially the emperor's methods, there is room for everything.
But think about it, if a woman becomes the empress of the Wei Dynasty and sets a precedent, Xu Qingxiao will feel that there is something wrong if she doesn't have some means.
"Fortunately, I promise to be the Great Wei."
Xu Qingxiao murmured to himself, no matter who the emperor is or what his character is.
It doesn't matter whether you kill loyal ministers or treacherous ministers.
But I will never kill capable ministers.
After all, his main business is economic development, not military warfare.
What kind of loyal ministers did the emperor hate? He was someone who kept finding faults and refused to give any solution. Such loyal ministers should be killed.
As for the traitorous officials, they were fattened and killed. After all, how could any emperor with some brains not be able to tell the difference between loyalty and traitors?
Foolish king, another calculation.
Knowing that you are a traitor, why don't they punish you? Why do they let you make money wantonly? The reason is simple, fatten them up and then kill them, or leave them to the next generation as a gift package for novices.
If you raise it very fat, then use it as an upgrade gift package. You can get some money every once in a while, and you can get some money every once in a while. It will be very comfortable.
I'm afraid that some emperors will mistake the upgrade gift package for the novice gift package and kill them with one knife.
But Xu Qingxiao didn't panic.
He is neither a loyal nor a traitor, but a capable minister.
A capable minister who can do things for the Wei Dynasty will never say a word to the emperor, nor will he say a word to please the emperor. If he does his own thing and wants to kill such a minister, then he has met a ghost.
Of course, these are just Xu Qingxiao's joking remarks.
After entering Beijing within ten days, Xu Qingxiao still had to figure out which path she should take.
Enter the DPRK directly?
Xu Qingxiao was reluctant. The forces in the court were chaotic and complicated. She had no background, no connections, and no resources. If others said the wrong thing or took the wrong step, there might be forces behind her to help her.
If you say the wrong word or take the wrong step, you can die.
You have to think clearly, it is best to decentralize yourself or marginalize yourself a little, so that you can gain some experience in peace of mind, otherwise it will be too much.
Xu Qingxiao shook her head and didn't think any more.
Instead, I started thinking about another thing.
Agricultural Production.
When he comes to Beijing this time, he must meet the emperor.
After meeting the emperor, what would the emperor ask himself? It was definitely not asking him whether he had eaten or not.
Where is the emperor with such cerebral palsy?
Obviously he would go straight to the point and ask himself about An Guoce. It was impossible to meet the emperor and then beat around the bush and tell him something, and then let himself go back, right?
Doesn’t this mean you have nothing to do when you are full?
Since it is An Guoce's matter, he must deal with it well.
The content of Anguo Ce is to build the "Great Wei Bank", but the "Great Wei Bank" looks very awesome, but it is actually quite awesome.
But there is a fatal problem.
What should people do if they have no money? Although your bank is good, I have no money.
How can I deposit it if I have no money? Do I need normal currency circulation? It is impossible to leave one tael of silver for my family, so I can deposit all the extra money in it, right?
For what? That little bit of interest?
If a bank wants to make a profit, it must not give too much, and if it cannot give too much, the people can only use the remaining money to save.
With the current living conditions of the people, there is not much money left at all.
So this involves one of the most critical things.
agricultural productivity.
There is an old saying that is very true, food is the most important thing for the people.
Food always comes first.
What does most of the economic and trade come from? It does not come from the stable production of the country and the people can have enough to eat. As long as the food money is paid, they can just think about having fun.
Otherwise, if you don’t have enough to eat, why bother consuming?
This is why there are no restaurants or flower houses in some villages, towns and counties. How can people go to Goulan to listen to music if they don’t have enough to eat?
Why are there so many industries like this among prefectures and counties? Because everyone has at least met the basic requirements.
After eating, I thought about other things.
Therefore, if the current emperor is a wise emperor, he will know the problem of Anguo policy in an instant.
This is what Xu Qingxiao kept in mind. It was impossible to write down all the plans at once. If he had to write them all down, what would he do?
Supervision? Management?
Sorry, we don't really need too many people like this in the Wei Dynasty. It's enough to just find a few princes' sons to supervise them, or find a few Confucian scholars to supervise them.
He suddenly seemed useless.
Unless he comes up with something new to attract the emperor's attention.
Do you have it yourself?
There must be.
But why take it out directly?
You have to take it out slowly. What are you taking it out for now? Do you think there are too many things?
You can say that you are a warrior, so living two hundred years is not too much, right?
According to the situation of the Wei Dynasty and the empress's character, one day she will empty herself out. If that disappears, what will he be in the eyes of the empress? He is just a minister with no benefit value.
If the empress is nostalgic and allows herself to go back to retire, it will be quite comfortable.
But what if I do something wrong? If I see myself as useless, what will the empress do? What else can she do? Just abandon her son.
Of course there is a way to solve it, and it is very simple.
Don't become an official.
The worst thing I can do is keep a low profile from now on. When I see the Zhu Sheng lineage, I will lower my head and say hello to you brothers politely.
The worst-case scenario is that Cheng Lidong keeps causing trouble for him. If he can't bear it anymore, he will report it to the authorities, and he will die.
The worst case scenario is that the Baiyi Sect will look for you. Oh, no, if the Baiyi Sect looks for you, you will definitely want to join them, and then let you be an undercover agent, or you will have to become an official.
Therefore, in the current situation, I cannot be an official.
It is even necessary to become an official, and to be the strongest and create greater glory.
Only in this way can you protect yourself.
Of course, the most important thing is the magic, which is like a knife hanging above your head. If you become an official yourself, your knowledge will be more comprehensive, and it will be easier to target the magic.
As for whether she is afraid or not, Xu Qingxiao is currently not afraid of anyone reporting her for practicing strange arts.
When I was in the eighth rank, the great scholars couldn't see through me. Now that I am in the seventh rank, even the great scholars in heaven and earth can't see through me.
As for the great scholars of heaven and earth, Xu Qingxiao didn't know, but she didn't care about that much.
So I have to become an official.
He didn't have any personal connections, and his only connection was the emperor.
The court is nothing more than the emperor's game.
An Guoce made the emperor see hope, and productivity can make the emperor see more hope.
As for this productivity, Xu Qingxiao has three ways to solve it.
First, seed rice. To put it simply, find potatoes and sweet potatoes and plant them in large areas. I haven’t found them yet. If you look carefully, you should find them.
Second, optimization tools, similar to waterwheels, should be upgraded to plowing tools, especially waterwheels, and paired with canal irrigation, so that various counties and regions will not fight over water sources and ensure that every piece of land can be supported by water sources.
Third, it is similar to things like chemical fertilizers, but Xu Qingxiao has not done any research on this. It is not wrong to say that he does not understand it at all. If he knows a little bit, if he wants to solve it, he should read more books and study carefully, and he will always get results.
The above three points are enough to make the Empress of Wei look at her with admiration.
And the easiest thing to implement is the waterwheel, which can be said to be an artifact of Anguo.
Take Ping'an County as an example. It has 5,000 acres of farmland and only two water sources. It can barely take care of itself, but the county next door can't, so it fights over water sources every year.
Finally, various competitions are held, and whoever wins gets the water source qualification. In this way, there will definitely be a good harvest sometimes and a bad harvest.
With waterwheels and the fact that this is a world with monks, we can build a better and more complete canal irrigation system. By then, water from 500 miles away will be transported and all ten counties will be able to use the water source.
It is impossible not to have a good harvest.
If you can find potatoes and sweet potatoes again, or even come up with hybrid rice, it will be a great merit.
If we can get chemical fertilizers again, we can increase production and even create something like three-crop rice.
In less than five years, the Wei Dynasty will enter a stage of comprehensive prosperity. At that time, he will promote the Wei Bank to promote economic development and open up world trade.
Lifting the sea ban, expanding the territory and colonizing the country, all the people in the world worked for the Wei Dynasty.
May I ask, what do you think of yourself in the eyes of the emperor?
Is he a capable minister?
The layout is smaller.
It's my biological father.
He is the biological father sent by God to make her happy.
At this time, Xu Qingxiao can guarantee that even if someone reports him for practicing strange arts, so what?
The only thing the emperor had to do was to kill the whistleblower. Even the civil and military officials in the dynasty, even those of the Confucian and Taoist lineage, had to pinch their noses to prove that they did not practice any strange arts.
These things alone can make Wei ten times, or even a hundred times more powerful.
At that time, were the barbarians in the north?
All my damn meat, eggs, and milk will be given to the people of the Wei Dynasty. Everyone in the next generation will be like a dragon, and each one will defeat ten barbarians.
Push across to the east and reach the Holy Mountain.
Push across towards the south and level hundreds of thousands of mountains.
Push across to the west and overturn the entire Western Region.
Push across to the north, attack the barbarian's hometown and build a protective palace.
At this time, if you have nothing to do, just check to see if there is a fairy world, and if so, mark it as a fairy world.
Thinking of this, Xu Qingxiao smiled.
However, calling it a fairyland is a bit exaggerated, but there is no problem in being able to dominate the world.
Of course, these things are left to the military attachés.
I am a scholar. A gentleman should speak but not do anything. He should maintain a good image.
At that moment, Xu Qingxiao began to make plans and draw pictures to come up with the concept of a waterwheel.
He didn't have much time. He planned to leave Nanyu Mansion in three days and go back to tell the teacher the good news. It could also be regarded as a return home in glory.
So get right to work and don't waste a second.
At this time, Li Xin came.
"Brother Xu, it's a good thing, a great thing. Many princes, princes, and princes in Kyoto have sent you congratulatory messages and dozens of carts of gifts."
"What you have done has won the favor of these military attachés. If you enter the capital one day, you will at least have some confidence."
Li Xin was very excited and handed the congratulatory note to Xu Qingxiao, saying with great excitement.
"Yes." Seeing these congratulatory notes, Xu Qingxiao was very calm, and then said: "Brother Li, do me a favor, sell all those gifts, and keep a small part for other uses."
Xu Qingxiao spoke.
Xu Qingxiao naturally accepted all the gifts given by others, but they were not accepted for personal enjoyment, but to be used for other things.
Take this waterwheel project for example.
It will definitely cost money to build a water tanker, and it will definitely cost a lot.
It just so happens that this money can be used to build a waterwheel.
"Okay, I'll let someone do it now."
Li Xin nodded.
Xu Qingxiao didn't say much and started to do her own thing seriously.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
This day.
Under Nanyu Mansion.
The common people saw each other off, Li Xin, Wang Ru and others also saw him off, and all the scholars from Nanyu Mansion came.
"Everyone, please send me here. How virtuous and capable is Xu to deserve such treatment?"
Outside the city gate, Xu Qingxiao bowed deeply to the people.
After the imperial edict was issued, the people also knew that Xu Qingxiao had interceded for them, and the people remembered this kindness in their hearts.
Now that Xu Qingxiao was leaving, they naturally came to see her off.
After bowing, Xu Qingxiao and Chen Xinghe turned around and left, followed by Li Xin and Wang Ru, who wanted to see Xu Qingxiao off for ten miles.
Leave Nanyu Mansion.
Xu Qingxiao handed several pieces of paper to Li Xin.
"Brother Li, don't ask too much. Just order someone to make this thing, and then use the method I wrote above to do it. As for the money that needs to be spent, didn't you sell those gifts before? If you have more, store it first.
If it's not enough for you, please ask Brother Li to pay for it in advance."
"At the same time, Brother Li must remember to correspond with me every once in a while and inform me of any problems in time."
What Xu Qingxiao took out was the design of the waterwheel and how to use it.
Practice is the only way to test truth.
It’s hard to tell whether the water wheel is good, whether it is useful, whether it is suitable for the Wei Dynasty.
Go to Kyoto rashly and tell the emperor that this thing is very good. You should promote it quickly, without asking whether the emperor will agree to it. What if it doesn't work? What if there are other problems? How can you solve it by yourself?
It would be better to let Nanyu Mansion give it a try first. Li Xin is his fanboy and Xu Qingxiao can trust him.
He is not afraid at all that Li Xin will take it out and say that he did it himself. After all, if you talk nonsense about this kind of thing, you won't be able to answer any relevant questions.
If things get serious, the great scholars of heaven and earth have the power to ask questions. If you are not afraid of death, feel free to admit it.
So Xu Qingxiao didn't have any scruples, but she still had to remind Li Xin to take good care of it.
"Brother Xu, please rest assured."
"If there is an excess, Brother Fool will pay it, and there is no need for Brother Xu to pay in advance."
Li Xin took the drawing, but did not look at it, but answered seriously.
"No, it's what it is, and you don't need me to pay in advance. Okay, don't send me ten miles away. It's a bit far, so just come here. Senior brother, let's get in the carriage."
Xu Qingxiao patted Li Xin on the shoulder, then looked at Wang Ru and said: "Brother Wang, don't send me away. Next time we have a chance, let's have a drink together, as long as we don't go to the land of fireworks."
Xu Qingxiao said with a smile, and then got on the following carriage with Chen Xinghe.
Take the time to go back.
"Brother Xu, walk slowly."
"Brother Xu, I'm going to Kyoto to see relatives in a few days, and I'll have a drink with you then."
Li Xin and Wang Ru spoke and watched Xu Qingxiao and Chen Xinghe leave.
The carriage was galloping, the yellow sand was rolling, and soon it disappeared on the official road.
What is different from before is that the carriages arranged by Nanyu Mansion for Xu Qingxiao are all top-notch thousand-mile horses. It only takes half a day to go back. By then, Xu Qingxiao will also take this carriage to Kyoto.
Therefore, staying in Ping'an County for two days is almost enough, and five days is enough to reach the Kyoto of the Wei Dynasty.
inside the car.
Chen Xinghe was as arrogant as ever and didn't talk much.
Xu Qingxiao originally wanted Chen Xinghe to take care of the water tanker, but she thought that her senior brother was quite arrogant and liked to study, so she didn't want to delay him. Moreover, in terms of power, this senior brother could not be as powerful as Li Xin.
After all, Li Xin was the son of the prince, so he didn't ask Chen Xinghe to help, but it didn't matter, no matter who he was.
Then, after four hours, Chen Xinghe, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
"Junior brother, senior brother will not go back to Ping'an County with you. Senior brother will go back and plan to travel around in a few days. When you arrive in Kyoto, remember to write me a letter so that I can know where you are and I can write to you if you have nothing to do."
Chen Xinghe said, he didn't plan to go back, not because he had anything important to do, but because he was with Xu Qingxiao, and there was no point in going back.
"Senior brother, don't you go and see the teacher?"
Xu Qingxiao was a little surprised.
"No more, coachman, stop for a moment."
Chen Xinghe was very decisive. After asking the driver to stop, he got out of the car and left alone.
"Senior brother, if something happens, write a letter directly. When you come to the capital, you must also inform your junior brother."
Xu Qingxiao still has a good impression of Chen Xinghe. Her senior brother imitates Zhu Sheng's ideas, but for his own sake, he becomes hostile to Zhu Sheng's lineage. From this alone, Xu Qingxiao knows that this senior brother is very good to her.
He shouted, and Chen Xinghe turned his back to Xu Qingxiao and waved as a farewell.
The carriage gallops.
After the voice became quieter and quieter, Chen Xinghe couldn't help but turn around, looked at the rolling yellow sand, and couldn't help but speak slowly.
"If there is a river, how can there be a night?"
A simple sentence expressed Chen Xinghe's painful heart.
Why doesn't he want to go back and return home in fine clothes?
But in front of Xu Qingxiao, all the light seemed so dim. He, Chen Xinghe, would rather die than become a green leaf.
"I want to travel far and wide to visit wise men. Junior brother, although you have made your intention clear now, senior brother will definitely surpass you."
"The next time we meet again, senior brother, I will make sure to say so!"
Chen Xinghe spoke, and after saying this, he left with determination on his face.
That's it.
Two hours later.
The carriage arrived at Ping'an County.
At this moment, almost all the people in Ping'an County had gathered and were waiting at the county gate.
When they saw the carriage, there was a sudden buzz of people.
"It's Xu Qingxiao here!"
"It's Xu Wangu who's here."
"Xu Wangu is here, hurry up, hit the firecrackers."
"Play music, play music, what are you still doing? Beat gongs and drums."
As the sounds rang out one after another, Ping'an County suddenly seemed extremely lively.
The sound of gongs and drums.
The sound of firecrackers.
Those who didn't know thought it was the emperor who came.
The carriage stopped and Xu Qingxiao walked down slowly. Before he could react, Magistrate Li hurried over.
"Qingxiao, Qingxiao, you are finally back. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
"Come on, come on, hurry up to the county government office, we've prepared a celebration banquet for you."
The county master was the most excited. When he came up, he took Xu Qingxiao's hand and looked extremely enthusiastic.
"Master County, don't do this, don't do this."
Feeling the enthusiasm of the crowd, Xu Qingxiao was a little bit dumbfounded.
"Hey, why should I call you the county master? If you meet someone outside, just call me uncle. Isn't that what you were called when you were a child?"
"Let's go, let's go to the celebration banquet. We have a great talent like you in our county. It can be said that we honor our ancestors."
Magistrate Li was so excited that he dragged Xu Qingxiao to the celebration banquet.
Thousands of people around him also seemed extremely excited.
"Qingxiao, I am your third uncle."
"Qing Xiao, I am your second uncle, do you still remember me?"
"Qingxiao, when you came to my house when you were a child, I gave you two eggs, remember?"
"What is your name Qingxiao? It's Wangu, Xu Wangu, he is a great talent of Wangu."
"Wangu, when you were a child, didn't you think that my daughter was pretty good-looking? Do you want a marriage? My daughter will marry you."
"Qing Xiao, my daughter is beautiful, my daughter Shui Ling, do you like her? I want to marry you."
"Wangu, do you want a wife?"
The villagers were extremely excited, and they shouted each other. Xu Qingxiao couldn't hear what they were saying at all, and could only keep smiling and nodding.
And so it was until the celebration banquet.
All the servants took turns to come up to establish relationships, with all kinds of envy and flattery. The entire celebration banquet was held in the ancestral hall. County Magistrate Li and the heads of the clans burned incense and offered sacrifices, feeling that Ping'an County had produced a great talent.
After the sacrifice was completed, County Magistrate Li insisted on asking Xu Qingxiao to write braille and make a plaque to hang in the ancestral hall and county entrance of Ping'an County.
Xu Qingxiao couldn't stand the enthusiasm of the villagers, but she still had to write.
I just wrote "Personal Distinguished Person". The handwriting is not bad and it is quite neat.
However, in the eyes of everyone, this is the word of a saint, and everyone praises him.
Even the brushes used by Xu Qingxiao were directly packed into boxes and placed in the ancestral hall for worship, which is indeed a bit exaggerated.
Then the celebration party began.
Everyone toasted one after another, and Xu Qingxiao also responded one by one.
After drinking for two full hours, Xu Qingxiao finally became a little drunk. Everyone felt that she was almost done, so they sent Xu Qingxiao back to rest.
That night.
Xu Qingxiao was lying on the bed.
He was a little drunk, but not really drunk.
When it was almost time to rest, Xu Qingxiao began to continue practicing.
These days I have clear intentions, but I have not been able to practice Qigong with peace of mind, which makes me feel a little wasted.
It definitely won't work.
Although he is of the seventh rank in Confucianism and Taoism, Xu Qingxiao always understands that he is a warrior.
But looking at it now, it seems that everyone ignores that he is a warrior.
This is also good. When your martial arts catches up, if someone plots evil against you and thinks that you are a powerless scholar.
You can definitely show this trump card that is not a trump card.
Come with a heavy punch.
A quarter of an hour later.
Xu Qingxiao's operation ends on Sunday.
The first Qi channel is perfect and the second Qi channel can be condensed. However, there is no rush now. It is not too late to make a breakthrough when we reach the capital.
You can’t rush in martial arts, you have to lay a good foundation.
Next month, the second energy channel will be condensed, and the next month, the third energy channel will be condensed.
Then you can consider breaking through to the eighth level.
Ninth grade pulse condensation.
The eighth level is the Dantian realm.
The path of martial arts must be taken and must not be ignored.
Because this is something that can truly protect yourself.
Imperial power is also good.
Be it Confucianism or Taoism.
No matter how good your connections are.
None of them are as strong as themselves. If one day, I really have no talent and I really get into trouble, if I am a first-level warrior, who dares to cause trouble for me?
So what if he is a great scholar?
You, the great Confucian, restrain evil spirits, but I am not evil spirits. I, Xu Qingxiao, have very positive energy.
If you really make yourself anxious, believe it or not, I would dare to hit you?
So after making up her mind on this idea, Xu Qingxiao fell asleep peacefully.
The next day.
It's just dawn.
Xu Qingxiao got up and washed up, then went to the carriage and took out some silver notes and many gifts. The silver coins were sold as gifts from the Duke of the country. Most of them were in Li Xin's hands and used to make waterwheels, and some of them were in his own hands.
The silver taels were not small, there were two thousand taels in total. Xu Qingxiao found Magistrate Li and handed the silver taels to him to use for the development of Ping'an County. It was also a way of repaying his kindness. After all, he was an orphan and must have received favors from everyone since he was a child.
Two thousand taels of silver was a lot to Xu Qingxiao, but not much to the entire Ping'an County, so Quan regarded it as repaying his kindness.
I prepared two gifts.
One was given to Dr. Zhao, but Dr. Zhao was not at home, so Xu Qingxiao didn't think much about it and kept the gift.
Xu Qingxiao brought the remaining part to her teacher Zhou Ling.
Arrive at Zhou Ling's home.
The teacher's wife was the most excited. She had already prepared many dishes, and there was more than one person in the teacher's family.
Masters from all over the country came here just to see me.
"Is this Xu Qingxiao? He is truly a talented person."
"Yes, yes, he is indeed an eternal talent."
"Master Zhou, why don't you come and see your beloved disciple? Why can't I meet such a disciple?"
"You came early in the morning. You, my disciple, have done your best and prepared so many gifts. I really envy me."
All the masters praised Xu Qingxiao one after another, and at the same time they were extremely envious of Zhou Ling.
Zhou Ling slowly walked out of the lobby, put on a new dress, and his face was radiant. It could be seen that he was very happy, really happy.
Especially the compliments from some masters made Zhou Ling so happy that he wanted to take off.
It has to be said that Xu Qingxiao came early the next morning. This was indeed a show of respect. She had him as her master in her heart and prepared many gifts.
How could this not please him?
Some people had speculated before that Xu Qingxiao was so famous now that they might not even remember him as a teacher. After all, he didn't teach Xu Qingxiao anything.
Now Xu Qingxiao's appearance has slapped him hard in the face and made him famous.
"Student Xu Qingxiao ranked first in the high school entrance examination today. I came to express my gratitude to my master and my wife."
Xu Qingxiao saluted Zhou Ling, firstly out of her heart, and secondly to show these masters.
His teacher must make him look good.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
Zhou Ling answered with a smile.
The teacher's wife pulled Xu Qingxiao with a smile on her face and said, "Don't be so polite. We are all one family. The teacher's wife has prepared a lot of good dishes for you. Eat more, eat more."
Soon, Xu Qingxiao took her seat and saluted all the masters.
At the dinner table, everyone was full of praise for Xu Qingxiao, praising Xu Qingxiao as if he were a saint descending to earth.
Zhou Ling, on the other hand, didn't speak much and smiled the whole time. After all, if he said anything, he would easily make people jealous.
The meal lasted for more than an hour, and the masters were a little reluctant to leave.
Let Master Xu Qingxiao and Master Zhou Ling be treated well.
"Teacher, Senior Brother Chen said that he has something to do and will see you again in a few days."
Xu Qingxiao opened her mouth and mentioned something about Chen Xinghe.
"Your senior brother's temperament is well known to me, so I didn't expect him to come."
"Okay, you come here today. I have something to ask you."
"His Majesty asked you to enter the court in a few days. What are your plans?"
As the masters left, Zhou Ling spoke seriously.
Ask Xu Qingxiao about her future plans.
"Teacher, the student plans to go to the Imperial Court and visit some people first to ask their opinions."
Xu Qingxiao expressed her thoughts.
"Well, that's right. I heard that many people in the court have a good impression of you. It's right for you to visit first."
"But remember, talk less and listen more, listen to their opinions, and don't make decisions too quickly."
"The court is as deep as the sea. You must think clearly about every word, every step, and every action. Don't talk nonsense."
"However, I just discussed with a few masters that you have offended the Zhu Sheng lineage. If possible, it is best to reconcile. After all, the Zhu Sheng lineage is the leader of literati in the world."
"Offending them will be harmful rather than beneficial to you. Besides, there is something you must not get involved in."
Zhou Ling is very serious.
"Teacher, please make it clear that students must follow your instructions."
Xu Qingxiao answered.
"Don't get involved in the Northern Expedition. In any case, it has nothing to do with you. This is the biggest battle in the court. The princes, princes, officials and scholars are all at odds with each other."
"You have no roots and no foundation. To participate in this matter is to step into the abyss. Do you understand?"
Zhou Ling couldn't tell Xu Qingxiao which step to take, he could only tell Xu Qingxiao which step not to take.
"Students note."
Xu Qingxiao nodded.
"Well, there's nothing more to say about being a teacher. By the way, there's something I need you to help me with."
Zhou Ling stood up and said this.
"Teacher, just tell me."
Xu Qingxiao was a little curious.
At this time, Zhou Ling brought a thick stack of books and placed them in front of Xu Qingxiao.
"This is an educational book written by my teacher. You can help me put my name on it. It won't be much, just a hundred or so copies. When I get back to my teacher, I will go to several surrounding houses to talk about it."
"You want to enter the capital, so I won't hold you back as a teacher. Come on, write."
Zhou Ling said very seriously.
Since Xu Qingxiao became famous, he also became famous. People from all over the country and counties came to ask him how he trained Xu Qingxiao.
So Zhou Ling wrote a book on educating people, thinking that if Xu Qingxiao got her name, it would be easier to sell. The money earned by then would be enough to support the family and open a school.
Xu Qingxiao was slightly silent, but she still said her name honestly. She mainly thought it was some big deal, but she didn't expect it to be this.
"By the way, I have been studying ancient books these days and found that there is a place that is somewhat similar to the Mingyue Mountain you mentioned last time."
Seeing Xu Qingxiao's name falling, Zhou Ling casually picked up a topic.
"resemblance?"
"Yes, but I'm not sure yet. I'll look through other ancient books later, and I'll let you know when I'm sure."
Zhou Ling could tell that Xu Qingxiao was not interested in this matter, so he stopped mentioning it.
"kindness."
Xu Qingxiao nodded. He had already obtained Emperor Wu's treasure. Wangqiu Mountain was Mingyue Mountain. If he found a similar place, it probably meant the same thing and would have no effect on him.
Soon, hundreds of books were published.
Xu Qingxiao breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Ling brought dozens more books and said, "I'll leave a few more. It's still early anyway. Let's chat with my teacher."
Xu Qingxiao: "."
One year in Wuchang.
April 30th.
The sky is slightly bright.
Xu Qingxiao got on the carriage and left slowly under the eyes of thousands of people in Ping'an County.
After Xu Qingxiao left, County Magistrate Li waved his hand, and dozens of people immediately dragged a stone tablet and erected it at the entrance of the county.
It was clearly written on it.
[Xu Qingxiao’s hometown]
at the same time.
Nanyu Mansion.
A carriage also came out slowly.
The person sitting in the carriage was Yan Lei.
What happened to Nanyu Mansion was something he would never forget in his life.
Xu Qingxiao, he remembered it in his heart.
The carriage drove slowly.
An hour later.
Suddenly, the carriage stopped.
Yan Lei frowned slightly.
Slowly push the curtain open.
It was a man standing outside the carriage, blocking the way.
