Chapter 336 Qingshui Official Document, Lord of Jiangdu Palace
Faced with Tie Tang's aggressive tactics, the two surprisingly did not take the bait. They both realized the seriousness of the matter.
"Even you said the risk is high, but it's really high. I don't think it's a good thing." Tianwen curled his lips and shook his head, just drinking tea.
Li Geng rubbed the Eight-Sided Taoist Sword in his hand and asked softly: "Brother Tie, why don't you talk about it first?"
Tie Tang did not hide anything and expressed his thoughts.
"I am going to open a new department called the Street Department, and I would like to invite two people to join it."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone else present took a deep breath.
Fang Lexian waved his hands repeatedly: "Brother, you can't do it. It's just a Taoist priest. Master Tianwen is a member of the Buddhist sect. Remember not to participate in government affairs."
There are precedents and current examples for Daomen to serve in the court. Tie Tang invited Li Geng, and others would not say anything.
But Tianwen is different!
He is an upright Buddhist disciple with a pure background, and is the true successor of Daleiyin Temple.
In Nuo Da's court, and even in the entire Shang Dynasty, there had never been a precedent for a monk to serve as an official.
Moreover, putting Buddhism and Taoism in the same place is simply pouring oil on charcoal, and the risk is too great.
Tie Tang explained with a smile: "It doesn't count as participating in government affairs. They are all officials who have no rank and are exiled. They help me monitor Qingshui City."
Even though he had already opened his mouth to explain, everyone still tried to dissuade him.
This kind of thing is just to make yourself uncomfortable. If someone else writes an official document and reports it accurately, even if Tie Tang is covered in iron, how many nails can he drive?
However, the scene is strange...the two main protagonists of the incident are frowning in thought, as if they are trying hard to think about something.
A long time.
Tianwen was the first to speak: "You are really brave, I am not as good as you."
Li Geng pulled out half of the prototype of the treasure in his hand, the cold light shone and the sword edge was sharp.
"Brother Tie, I'm afraid you can't carry these two mountains, and you won't be able to carry them either."
Tie Tang's smile faded, a divine light bloomed in his eyes, and he formed a fist with his five fingers, making the air flow around and making bursts of explosions.
"A man's ambition should be like the Yangtze River running eastward into the sea. We three are at the top, why should we look at other people's faces."
Everyone else present stared blankly at what was happening, not quite understanding what the three of them meant.
Only Long Yu clenched her fists and looked excited, wishing she could get into it.
The biggest difference between Tie Tang and others is the difference in qualifications and talents.
Those who have not experienced it personally will never understand that kind of pride that belongs to the supreme genius, that kind of being able to reach the top and see the scenery from the top of the mountains.
Tianwen, Li Geng is a close friend of Tie Tang. If Tie Tang really needs their help, even if they have no identity, they can still intervene in the affairs of the Street Department.
But Tie Tang decided to put the two of them on the table, that is, to tell the whole county and even the court.
At this time, Tianwen and Li Geng represent not only their personal identities, but also the huge Buddhist and Taoist sects behind them.
Tianwen repeatedly stated that he had no influence or faction in Daleiyin Temple, but as soon as he took action, he summoned the incarnation of the Buddhist World-Honored Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.
As the pinnacle of the True Tradition of Taiyi Dao, Li Geng is implicated in many and deep-rooted affairs. His parents alone are a force that cannot be ignored.
Tie Tang put the two of them out, whether they were Taoists or Buddhists, the messy factions inside would be affected.
A single move can affect the whole body, and the Shang Dynasty, which dominates the world, will also be affected.
Even though these influences may be very small now, what qualifications do the three of them have?
The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and new people replace old ones.
This is a way for Tie Tang to show off his connections and intimidate many aristocratic families in Qingshui City. It is also his first step to test the court.
The snow is falling heavily and the wind is blowing coldly.
On December 22, a document jointly signed by the governor of Qingshui County and the supervisor of Qingshui Supervision was delivered to the Jiangdu government office.
Dongliu Hall, the office of the Lord of Jiangdu Prefecture.
At this time, there were five figures sitting inside, talking softly about something.
A vigorous figure walked to the door of Dongliu Hall, bowed, held a document in both hands, and raised it high above his head.
"Master, Qingshui County Sheriff has an official document to report."
The sound in the hall was stagnant.
One of them stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Didn't the Qingshui County Sheriff just take office? An official document was delivered so quickly. Could it be that he encountered some difficult matter?"
"After all, he is still a great witch of the soul. I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince everyone else, so I wrote to the palace master to ask for help."
"He has become quite famous recently. I heard that this person went to the Yin Shang Palace and won the favor of the Emperor. He also received a handwritten letter from the Emperor. He is also an extraordinary figure."
"Did he really meet the Human Emperor? I heard..."
"Send the official document over!"
The person in the center spoke up, interrupting the others' discussion.
He looks about forty or fifty, with a back as straight as a mountain, eyebrows like swords, eyes like stars and moons, and a goatee on his chin. He is dignified and unsmiling.
This person is Feng Yi, the lord of Jiangdu Palace, and Feng Bingyao’s father.
He is in charge of one of the twelve capitals in the world, and he is a truly powerful person. There are only twelve people in this position in the entire world, and even if he is placed in the court, he is very important.
Although he is only a third-grade official, he governs one government, six counties, and hundreds of cities. He is an official with absolute real power and a feudal official.
After receiving the official document, the fire seal and mud seal on it were still there, which meant that no one had removed it.
Feng Yi did not rush to open it, but looked at the county magistrate's official seal and the chief magistrate's official seal on it.
"Old Xu, the seal of the Supervisory Hall is also here."
The person on the right was a little surprised: "Oh? That guy from Zhengyang also got involved? That's right, the county magistrate is the supervisor."
The person on the left said: "The supervisor is also the county guard, or is the county guard also the supervisor? How did these two official ranks come together?
Lao Feng, I’m afraid I’ll give you a headache in the future.”
Feng Yi held the document in his hand: "No need to do it later, I feel like there is nothing good in it."
"Since I have the official seal of the Supervisory Palace, I won't leave to see what happens."
"Okay!"
Feng Yi didn't hide it either. He opened the official document in public and read it carefully.
After a while.
He was neither sad nor happy, and handed the document to Lao Xu.
"You are the supervisor of our Jiangdu Prefecture, and you have a lot of troubles here."
Old Xu unfolded the document and quickly flipped through it, quickly knowing the ins and outs.
"Can you wait for me to read it?" The three people next to me became curious.
Lao Xu looked at Feng Yi, who nodded calmly.
Soon.
This document was circulated by several people, and they all knew its contents.
Someone gave advice: "The people of Qingshui County are not yet enlightened, and it is difficult to cultivate their wisdom. If they are allowed to do this... As time goes by, Qingshui County will be named Tie in the future."
Some people also gave different opinions: "That's not necessarily the case. People can also gain wisdom and understand the truth with the help of tabloids.
When the people's wisdom grows, everyone will have their own ideas and thoughts. Even if he wants to cover up the sky with one hand, he can't hide the mixed feelings of the people."
"It is better to be ignorant and ignorant than to have only a partial understanding of the truth. I am afraid that these people know a little but have not thought about it deeply, and will cause trouble instead."
"It will take too long to wait for all the people to understand the wisdom. I am afraid that within thirty to fifty years, Qingshui City will only be iron-clad, which is not a good thing for the court."
.......
The other three started arguing. Lao Xu closed his eyes and thought deeply, while Feng Yi remained silent.
After half a stick of incense.
Lao Xu interrupted the three people's argument.
"Okay, everyone, is it interesting to catch me chatting about the Supervisory Hall? Why not mention the Street Department?"
The Dongliu Hall immediately became silent.
Whether or not to apply for a housing report, Tie Tang did it in the name of the Supervisory Palace, so the decision can only be made by the Supervisory Officer of Jiangdu Prefecture.
If the Supervisor Zhengqing cannot make a decision, then send it to the Holy Capital Supervisory Hall. Anyway, it has nothing to do with other people, including the head of Jiangdu Palace.
I can't interfere!
The other three talked about this matter non-stop, but did not mention a word about the Street Department behind them, because everyone knew that was the real trouble.
You have to be careful even when expressing your position, otherwise you may get into trouble.
Feng Yi, who had been silent, finally spoke.
"Lao Xu, what do you think of this matter?"
"It's all a trivial matter for the Street Department, but if he wants Tian Wen and Li Geng to come in, that's absolutely impossible."
"He is your supervisor."
"Precisely because he is an inspector, he should abide by himself. How could he do such a bold and reckless act?"
Feng Yi picked up the document and asked while observing: "The street director is an official who has emigrated, and he serves as the director himself.
The two people recommended... are also of "clean family background", extremely talented, and seem to have no violations of law or discipline."
Old Xu was furious: "This guy has read the law thoroughly. He is taking advantage of loopholes. You and I both know their identities, how can we allow them to enter the court?"
"The provisions of the law are for you to supervise the ministers. I don't know much, but I don't seem to have heard of the regulations that monks and Taoist priests cannot be officials."
Feng Yi's words surprised the other three people.
Lao Xu's face also changed slightly: "What you mean is..."
Feng Yi smiled: "Young people are very angry, so it's okay to fight in their own territory.
What's more, these are three little dragons. When they take off into the sky and fly into the clouds, we old guys will probably have to stay away."
The head of the palace expressed his attitude, and the other three no longer hid it.
"Buddhism has been testing the waters. This time the Bodhisattva's great freedom incarnation appeared in the world under the Tathagata's decree. It is very likely that he has foreseen something."
"There has never been such a precedent, and no one has dared to break the rules. Now that someone is doing it, it is not a bad thing."
Lao Xu laughed loudly: "A good thing?"
"Don't forget, everyone, he is also an inspector. You are playing with fire. The key is, have you ever played with him?"
"Old Xu, please stop joking."
"Haha~ Xu Zhengqing is worrying too much. He is a child with a yellow mouth and is not worthy of the Tao."
"He is not the only inspector in the world, and he is not the only one who is at the top. We have never seen any big storms."
.......
While a few people were talking and laughing, they suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside Dongliu Hall.
When the fragrant wind blows, the sound arrives first before the people arrive.
"Father, I heard that the Qingshui County Sheriff has an official document to report?" A beautiful scenery appeared at the door.
Feng Bingyao is wearing a purple skirt, which perfectly displays her slender figure. Her eyes are hazy with moisture, and her temperament is cold and noble, like a fairy walking out of poetry.
Seeing her coming, Feng Yi showed a sincere smile on his face.
"If you don't go to practice, why are you here?"
"My dear uncles, Bingyao is polite."
Feng Bingyao first bowed and then said: "I want to see what he said."
The four people who were sitting all stood up and left, not wanting to get involved in the conversation between the father and daughter.
The person in front of me is not as simple as the palace lord’s daughter. She is also a rising star of the human race. Behind her is the mountain of Wu Mu. Even if her background as the palace lord of Jiangdu Palace is ignored, she cannot be underestimated.
After the four people left, Feng Yi stood up and walked slowly in the hall.
"The official documents of a county governor... whether they are big or small, they are considered court secrets. How do you want to see these things?"
"I tied with him last time, but I actually lost. I want to see what level he has reached."
"There is nothing in the official document."
"Then I'll go to Qingshui City and see for myself."
Feng Yi was very interesting: "Are you looking at his cultivation, or are you looking at him?"
Facing this kind of ridicule, Feng Bingyao's expression remained unchanged, as cold as frost.
"My martial arts heart is as sincere as my son's, and it will never be easy. I came here to find him just to learn a thing or two.
Besides, there are two top leaders of Buddha and Taoism there, who can help me hone my state of mind."
"Okay, Dad is joking with you. There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be so serious." Feng Yi handed over the official document.
After she finished reading, she asked.
"What do you think?"
Feng Bingyao frowned, like a crescent moon. She was the daughter of the palace master, and even if she had not been involved in the court, she knew a lot about it.
When I saw this document and combined it with the recent world trends, I immediately had some opinions of my own.
"Father, is there... anyone else in the Yin Shang Palace?"
"Silence, don't mention this matter again!" Feng Yi looked shocked.
"Bingyao, remember, don't mention this matter in front of anyone.
As for the answer you want to know... maybe he will tell you.
After all, he is the only person who has entered the Yin Shang Palace in a hundred years."
Feng Bingyao looked at the document in her hand, her eyes wandering back and forth over the lines about the Street Department.
"Buddhism's daring to come out is a test of the court's bottom line. He is even more daring and takes this opportunity to bring Buddhism and Taoism into his own power.
It seems that he... got some secrets that no one knows about in the Yin Shang Palace.
Father, what do you think about me joining this street department?"
Feng Yi scolded in a low voice: "Nonsense!"
"After you compete with him, regardless of victory or defeat, you will return immediately, do you understand?"
Feng Bingyao didn't take it seriously: "Father, this is the reason why you haven't been able to move forward for a long time.
My master said that the birth of a supreme overlord needs to go through many difficulties and dangers, but it also needs the most powerful enemy as an opponent.
The Human Emperor has a wealthy family that has accumulated over five thousand years as his stepping stone, and there are three human kings as his whetstones, and those invincible overlords who are respected in heaven and earth personally take the lead.
That’s why he can become the only supreme being who can honor heaven and earth!
If I want to follow the path of a human emperor, I also need equal opponents to sharpen my sword for me, and these three are the best opponents."
"How can I not know what you said?"
Feng Yi shook his head and sighed: "The knife is sharpened and loses its toughness. It is strong but not strong. It breaks when touched and is as brittle as thin paper.
If you don't know how to restrain your sharp edge, you will definitely hurt yourself.
The Human Emperor has risen with great momentum, and enemies are everywhere in the sky and on the earth. Even on the earth, there are countless invisible opponents.
Those who learn from others will die, and those who resemble others will live. Don’t go astray.”
Feng Bingyao put the documents back on the eucalyptus table and walked out of Dongliu Hall with gentle steps.
"Whether it is right or wrong, time will prove."
Feng Yi no longer argued with her, but quickly walked to the door and warned: "You are not young anymore, it would be good to find a top.
If you don't like him, Taoist Xuantian can do it. Taoists can marry wives.
No more.
If you want that monk to return to secular life, we can discuss it."
The originally gentle pace of the purple figure suddenly accelerated, and in an instant it turned into a purple stream of light and disappeared into the sky.
Feng Yi's face was full of sorrow and he sighed.
"It's hard to find Juedian. I heard that a Juedian was born in the Holy Capital recently. I'll ask someone to ask about it then."
