"We, the scholars, are responsible for morality and governing the world. How can we be coerced by a warrior?"
"Liu Dutong acted wantonly. As the governor of the imperial court, you could not control him. Instead, you helped him to do evil. You are worthy of being a disciple of my Zhishan Academy."
A handsome young Confucian scholar with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes walked into the study room of the Governor's Mansion and said very politely to his elders.
"Mingde, you are back."
"Come on, come on, sit down first, sit down first."
"Let uncle take a look at you. Have you bumped into each other?"
Li Wenhao was neither angry nor angry. Instead, he stood up and asked with a look of surprise.
"My mentor asked me to go back to Lingzhou to take a look, act secretly, and investigate for the imperial court any clues about the Divine Power Army."
"Now that Lingzhou is about to be in chaos, my uncle actually sits in the Governor's Mansion and allows the Shenwei Army to control the power without doing anything. Is he ashamed of himself?"

Li Mingde's words became more and more intense, as if he wanted to vent his anger.
"Mingde, my uncle told you that you need to change your temper."
"Zhishan Academy also teaches etiquette, the king, the minister, the minister, the father, the son, the son."
"The "Book of Rites" also said that the way to a university is to be clear about morality, to be close to the people, and to strive for perfection."
"You are my nephew, so you can be considered half-father."
Li Wenhao sighed, his son has no ability.
Even if he tried hard to give birth to more than ten children, none of them would be successful.
The most sons are those who rely on the power of elixirs to accumulate innate talents.
Not to mention compared to those geniuses, even compared to Governor Zheng's son, he was far inferior.
He felt that he was a cunning beast, not only giving birth to a wolf, but at least giving birth to a dog.
As a result, some mice were born, which was really unfair.
Therefore, he doted on his nephew, even better than his own son.
What's more, this nephew was born after his sister married the Li family of Daxia, so the nephew's surname was also Li. Li Wenhao was even more satisfied with him, and even thought about entrusting his family's business to him.
"Uncle, I went too far."
"The sage has a saying: Close relatives hide in each other's eyes and stay together. I shouldn't say anything about my uncle's faults."
Li Mingde took a deep breath and began to examine himself.
"You are one of the true disciples of Zhishan Academy. You will be the pillar of Confucianism and the pillar of the imperial court in the future. How can I blame you?" Li Wenhao quickly revealed the matter, and the expression on his face immediately became serious:
"The situation in Lingzhou is very complicated. The Shenwei Army can be said to cover the sky with one hand."
"I don't know who leaked the news of General Long's death, which caused an uproar in the whole world. The Shenwei Army was even more silent." "Even if Liu Dutong is a little more domineering, I'm afraid many officials in Lingzhou are also secretly applauding."
"The great defeat thirteen years ago and the sudden death of the late emperor greatly delayed the actions against the Shenwei Army. Prime Minister Niu Monk's concession eventually caused the situation in Lingzhou to become uncontrollable."
Although Li Wenhao is used to being aggressive, he is by no means an incompetent person.
On the contrary, he was able to secure the position of governor of Lingzhou and won the respect of Prime Minister Wang Ji precisely because he saw the situation more clearly than anyone else.
"I understand, uncle, there is no need to say any more." Li Mingde took a deep breath, the situation was worse than he imagined. Li Wenhao talked about the situation so much, but did not say what he had done.
"I just want to ask my uncle, has he ever won over the officers of the Divine Power Army? How many loyal people are there among them?"
this?
Li Wenhao obviously hesitated. He was still consolidating the officialdom in Lingzhou, so he had no spare power to intervene in the army.
"Uncle, in a city with ten houses, there must be loyalty."
"General Long is also a human being, not a god. I never believe that the Divine Power Army is monolithic."
"When attacking with troops and strategies, attacking the heart is the most important thing."
"I talked with Mr. Wang Ji before I came here. We should try our best to stir up civil strife in the Shenwei Army and reduce the pressure on the court."
"If the Shenwei Army is torn apart, Shenwu and Shence will be able to dispatch and annihilate them in one fell swoop."
Li Mingde did not hide it from his uncle and used the secret technique of sound transmission to whisper.
"Has the academy decided to assist the imperial court?" Li Wenhao said in surprise, vaguely surprised. If the academy's power can be used, the chances of winning against the Shenwei Army will undoubtedly be much greater.
No matter how weak the Confucian sect is, Zhishan Academy is still a super force that is superior to other sects. With their help, the pressure on the Divine Power Army will be much lessened.
"Rebellious ministers and traitors should be found and punished by everyone."
"Zhishan Academy respects the imperial court as its orthodoxy, how can it sit idly by and ignore it?"
Li Mingde said calmly, his eyebrows filled with confidence.
"I also ask my uncle to collect information on the officers and officers of the Divine Power Army for me, preferably those who are ambitious."
"I need enough pieces to move the entire chessboard."
"You put it like that, and my uncle reminds me of someone." Li Wenhao touched his beard, his eyes shining brightly.
"who?"
"Liu Dutong's newly adopted son, Chu Qianqiu!"
…
Just when the Governor's Mansion and the imperial court were beginning to plan against the Shenwei Army.
Chu Qianqiu accidentally sneezed, thinking that the three little nuns from Fahua Temple were missing him. He shook off the strange thoughts in his head, talked to Gao Tian, who was seriously injured and lying on the hospital bed, and sent him a message.
Got a small gift.
"Brother Gao, will you feel better after taking the elixir?"
"I also have a [Great Return Pill] here, which can cure internal injuries."
As the saying goes, attacking the enemy with military force is the most important thing.
It's one thing to make Gao Tian and others convinced of their defeat, but it's another thing to make them work with all their heart and soul.
Unexpectedly, Gao Tian didn't show any domineering or madness in the competition field, but showed a bit of inferiority complex.
"Mr. Chu, you are too polite. You are a despicable person who cannot deserve this title and cannot bear this great courtesy. Ahem."
Chu Qianqiu frowned, then smiled and said:
"We are all brothers in the Divine Power Army, how can we be so despicable?"
"The so-called hero does not care about his origin. Didn't General Long also start from humble beginnings and eventually become famous all over the world?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Is it possible that Brother Gao's background is somewhat miserable? This is not a big deal."
Chu Qianqiu asked tentatively. The only information in his hand was Gao Tian's behavior after coming to the Li people's camp. He was quite loyal to the Li people, but why was there some dissatisfaction with the Li people in his tone.
"Heroes don't ask where they come from..."
Gao Tian seemed to be thinking of the past and told him frankly:
"Master Chu, there is no need to test."
"Then Yunzhou is not some Western pure land. Naturally, there are distinctions between high and low, as well as high and low."
"In terms of surname, I am just the lowest Li person. Like Qingchai, I belong to Heili."
Your skin isn't dark either, it's wheat-colored at most.
Chu Qianqiu was about to say it, but he remembered the information collected by Yang Guang.
It is recorded in the data that the Li people's class division is not based on skin, but on tribal surnames, divided into Black Li and Bai Li.
Later, the Bai Li people conquered the Heili people and divided them into nobles and commoners.
Of course, Hei Li and Bai Li were old terms in the past. Later, Bai Gu Sect carried out an important reform and abandoned this term. They were not even allowed to call them Hei Li and Bai Li.
However, there is still a distinction between high and low among the people, so it is called the distinction between upper-class Li people and lower-class Li people.
As for Gao Tian, he was used to the names Hei Li and Bai Li.
"Brother Gao, please excuse me, if you are really Haili, why are you so desperate?"
When the two sides fight, you are the most desperate kid, and you simply don’t want your life.
If your status is low, why should you work for other Li people? Isn't that considered lowly?
"Because the Zhennan Army came, burning, killing and looting everywhere, and my home was burned down."
"I just realized that I am a Li person."
"Later, I killed several Zhennan Army soldiers who were robbing women, and was sent to the Shenwei Army."
Gao Tian sneered twice. It was quite humorous that he was a black Li and finally became the leading brother in the Li camp.
After hearing this story, Chu Qianqiu was speechless for a moment. But Gao Tian said a few more words.
"I know Master Chu's purpose of coming. He wants to win people's hearts."
Was it that obvious what I did?
"I hate the distinction between black and white Li, but I also don't want to see the iron hooves of the Shenwei Army and the Zhennan Army set foot on Yunzhou, burning down our houses and killing our relatives."
"If you can really treat everyone equally, I am willing to serve you."
In this era, the king chooses his ministers, and the ministers choose their king.
Gao Tian is not a fool, even if he is the leader of the Li camp, it is not easy to do.
So after Chu Qianqiu extended an olive branch, he asked:
"Just Mr. Chu, can you do this?"
"Please wait and see." Chu Qianqiu smiled and stretched out his hand, and the two held each other tightly.
