The World Becomes Famous Chapter 70: Conferring the King and Worshiping the Prime Minister
In the north, the azure sky is spotless and crystal clear in late autumn. The rosy clouds are reflected on the clear river. The microwave of fish scales and the turquoise river water add to the color of the floating clouds, which is particularly gorgeous.
Everyone was shocked when they heard what Dugu Xiaotian said.
Xuande was silent for a moment and said softly: "Master, Taoist Priest, Master Tai, Chang De and Yu Shao remained, while the others left the courtyard and waited 50 feet outside the courtyard.
Li Fuwang and others bowed, saluted, and immediately exited the courtyard.
Xuande caressed the bamboo chair gently and said with a smile: "This chair is made of ordinary bamboo. Why is it cool and moist, and has the effect of calming the mind and calming the energy?"
Dugu Xiaotian said calmly: "Thousands of bamboos are singing in the autumn, and Wuling pines are cold. When I was making bamboo chairs the day before yesterday, I had some understanding of martial arts. These bamboo chairs contain a hint of the natural bamboo Taoist artistic conception."
It turned out that Dugu Xiaotian returned to Xinghai Village and practiced swordplay every night in front of his parents' graves on the side of the bamboo forest. For many days, he saw that the bamboos were tough and straight, like a gentleman, and he had some understanding. Weaving a bamboo chair
At that time, I accidentally understood the "Green Bamboo" sword style, and retained a trace of the artistic conception of bamboo on the bamboo chair.
After Dugu Xiaotian's Hongmeng True Strength reached the peak of the eighth level, he made rapid progress. This time he comprehended the "Green Bamboo" sword style, and his Hongmeng True Strength improved a little more, but he still did not break through to the ninth level. Although Dugu Xiaotian was puzzled in his heart
, and I don’t take it seriously.
Master Zhenxian and Taoist Wuchen looked at each other and saw that Xiaotian was neither humble nor arrogant in front of today's emperor. They talked eloquently and nodded at the same time.
"Do you understand why I'm here?" Zhu Zhanji asked softly.
"I understand, Your Majesty, wait a moment." Dugu Xiaotian moved his hands back and forth, and in a moment, he used the bamboo in his hands to weave a palm-sized bamboo sword.
Master Shuiyue couldn't help being surprised when she saw that as Dugu Xiaotian waved his hands, there was a faint breeze, green bamboos, and various natural artistic conceptions of pine forests.
Everyone was dazzled by Xiaotian's mysterious skills, but they didn't understand why he had to weave a bamboo sword.
"Your Majesty, now that the elite soldiers of Ora have retreated, the world is at peace, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, there is nothing important that requires my service." Dugu Xiaotian said slowly. "I have long been accustomed to being alone, wandering around in the clouds and wild cranes, so I am not suitable to serve as an official in the court."
At this point, he paused and said, "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. Although I am a common man, I also have the responsibility to share the country's worries. This bamboo sword is given to Your Majesty. If there is a place in the world that must laugh at the sky, this token can be used
Come to me. Go through fire and water, no matter what."
Dugu Xiaotian handed over the bamboo sword, Xuande took it in his hand, caressed it for a moment, and put it into his arms with a precious touch. He winked at Yu Qian.
Yu Qian, Shaobao, cupped his fists and saluted, "I have heard about the name of the Laughing Hero for a long time. When I saw him today, he is indeed extraordinary in his bearing. He is a dragon and a phoenix among people. I, Yu Qian, am currently serving as the Shaobao of the imperial court."
Dugu Xiaotian clasped his fists and returned the gift: "Shanye Villager, I have thanked you so much."
Princess Changde saw that Dugu Xiaotian behaved calmly and unhurriedly. When she first met this person, she did not think he was very handsome. However, upon closer inspection, she felt that Xiaotian was approachable and profound, making people feel like a spring breeze, and her favorable impression gradually increased.
"The Yizhuang to the west of the village is usually managed secretly by Dugu Shaoxia?" Yu Qian asked.
Dugu Xiaotian shook his head, "I, Xianyun Yehe, never ask anything about Yizhuang's affairs."
Everyone was moved when they heard this, and Princess Changde couldn't help but ask: "What's going on? How can they get along so harmoniously with no one controlling them?"
Dugu Xiaotian looked at Princess Changde and smiled slightly, "The people can manage themselves."
Dugu Xiaotian's smile was like a spring breeze blowing on her face. Princess Changde's heart trembled when she saw it. She didn't dare to look at Xiaotian and hurriedly lowered her head.
"What a rule by doing nothing!" Yu Qian high-fived.
"As expected of me, the elder of the Wudang Sect! I am a poor Taoist, Taoist Wuchen, and the younger brother of the previous leader of Wudang, Tianhong Zhenren." Taoist Wuchen glanced at Master Zhenxian and said enthusiastically.
"Humph", Master Zhenxian snorted coldly and turned his head to ignore Taoist Wuchen.
Dugu Xiaotian quickly bowed and saluted: "Uncle, my nephew is so polite!" Taoist Wuchen laughed loudly: "Xiaotian doesn't have to stick to the common etiquette. I already know that you defeated the masters of the foreign countries and saved the Wudang sect. It's really great."
He is a great benefactor of the Wudang Sect."
Xuande smiled slightly and said, "Dugu Shaoxia, let me introduce you!" After that, he introduced the other three people. Dugu Xiaotian bowed one by one.
Xuande then asked: "Dugu Shaoxia was born in a military family. Did he learn the art of war when he was young?"
Dugu Xiaotian's expression darkened, and he said softly: "I dare not lie to Your Majesty. My late father died early. He only taught me martial arts for a few years and never learned military tactics. In the battle of Datong, the situation was critical, and many capable people did not have the skills at that time.
It’s a good strategy, I have to try it boldly, it’s just a fluke that I won.”
Princess Changde smiled and said sweetly: "Your achievements have become a household name in the capital, and they are so legendary."
Dugu Xiaotian smiled bitterly upon hearing this, "Folk rumors are exaggerated, princess, don't believe them easily."
Yu Qian said solemnly: "Young hero Dugu is too humble. Three battles and three victories outside Datong City are definitely not a fluke. Li Tianba has always been able to lead troops. In recent years, he has been hailed as the 'God of War' on the battlefield. He also respects you."
Be prepared to the best of your ability.”
After a pause, Yu Qian bowed and saluted: "May I ask, young hero, how did you come up with the ingenious strategies for these three great victories? More than ten of our generals analyzed the battle cases for seven days, and they were all in admiration. It was Yue Wu back then.
I'm afraid this is not the case when Mu is still alive. General Zhang once followed Marshal Xu Da, whom he said was the founding father of the country. Compared with Xiaotian, his military skills are slightly inferior."
Dugu Xiaotian hurriedly cupped his fists and saluted. He scratched the back of his head and said helplessly: "I just came up with this idea and I don't know how to explain it."
Princess Changde saw Dugu Xiaotian's young mind, pursed her lips and smiled.
Everyone in Xuande was speechless for a while. After a long while, Master Zhenxian announced the Buddha's name in a low voice, "This is a gift from heaven, you can't force it!" After hearing this, several people nodded.
Xuande was silent for a moment and nodded to Taoist Wuchen, "Taoist Master, please present the gift!"
Taoist Wuchen stood up, took out a small box, and opened it in front of Dugu Xiaotian.
Dugu Xiaotian looked down and saw two files displayed in the box, with nothing else. He did not open the files, but cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, what are these?"
"This is the deed for 300,000 charity houses and the deed for 600,000 acres of wasteland in the northeast. Your name as the head of the household is written on it. It has been officially registered and filed with the Ministry of Household Affairs, and stamped with the widow's seal." Xuande smiled.
Said. "As long as the Ming Dynasty continues to exist, these houses and land will always be yours. Since you don't want to be crowned king and prime minister, I will give these houses and land to you."
Dugu Xiaotian was startled and waved his hands repeatedly, "The poor people are alone and content with the situation. They don't need so much land. The charity houses and cultivated land should belong to the poor people."
"Amitabha!" Master Zhenxian announced the Buddha's name in a low voice. "Everyone in the world knows the great benevolence and bravery of the Smiling Heaven. But if these houses and land are left without owners, princes and generals will surely care about them for a long time. Can young heroes have the heart to let these poor people be displaced again?
?"
Xuande laughed: "This time I have taken advantage of you. The houses and fields of this village are all built on the wasteland in the north. I didn't spend a tael of silver to get this fertile land. It's on the land deed."
, it has been agreed that 50% of the grain will be handed over to the court. In the future, the north will become the granary of our Ming Dynasty and can help millions of flood victims in the pass every year. It is really a great good deed."
Dugu Xiaotian thought to himself, "After the Yizhuang and the reclaimed wasteland are officially registered with the court, corrupt officials will no longer harass the people. The people can live and work in peace and contentment, so what's the problem with me being a 'big landowner' in name only."
Thinking of this, Dugu Xiaotian opened the file, looked at it for a few times, then closed the box and put it into the room. He bowed and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
Seeing that Xuande had tied Dugu Xiaotian to the destiny of the Ming Dynasty without spending a tael of silver, he felt so proud that he couldn't help laughing.
"Princess Changde, after observing for so long, do you like it?" he said happily.
