The Taoist nun and the young man named Fang went to the palace to discuss something with the King of Shu. Behind Li Yi stood several men in blue, who seemed to be protecting them but were actually looking after them.
Li Yi turned around and glanced in a certain direction. The King of Shu actually hooked up with someone from the cult. The old emperor is not dead yet. Does this guy really want to rebel?
Li Yi still doesn't know what the purpose of this holy religion is, but historical experience tells him that it would be a pity if more than 100,000 people were gathered in a civil organization to not rebel.
Along the way, he also got a lot of information from the few words of these believers.
The headquarters of this "holy religion" is in the state of Qi, and the one hundred thousand followers are also talking about the state of Qi. Judging from the situations encountered along the way, they have obviously developed to a certain extent in the state of Jing, but they don't know about other countries.
Is there any trace of them? If so, this organization would be too huge.
If these people want to rebel, the old emperor will probably have a headache.
"This brother looks unfamiliar, isn't he from Shuzhou?" A voice came from the side. Li Yi turned his head and saw a young man raising his glass and walking towards him.
Li Yi always felt that he looked familiar. He must have met him before, but he probably didn't say a few words, because apart from being a little familiar, he really couldn't find anything else about him in his memory.
Li Yi nodded and said, "No, I'm from Kyoto."
"I was in Jiang Zian, then the county captain of Yong County." The young man smiled and sat down next to him.
"Jiang Zian?"
Li Yi finally searched for more information through this name. Prince Ning's Mansion, Jiang Zian, and Cui Yanxin were in trouble for Wan Ruoqing in Prince Ning's Mansion. Later, there was a big turmoil. The culprits were this person and Cui Yanxin.
Later, I heard that they were implicated because of this. Among the Jinshi in the same year, only these two people had their appointments temporarily suppressed. Later, I met Cui Yanxin at the Prince of Shu's Mansion. I didn't expect to meet another person in this remote Shuzhou.
An "old friend".
Li Yi cupped his hands and said, "Hello, Mr. Jiang, I'm Li Xuan."
"Brother Li is too polite, just call me 'Zian'." Jiang Zian smiled and then said, "However, Brother Li's name is exactly the same as that of a friend of Jiang's."
Li Yi looked at him with a smile and asked: "Brother Jiang said, is it Li Xuan, the eldest son of Prince Ning?"
Jiang Zian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "I forgot, brother Li is from Kyoto, so he must have heard the name of Prince Li Xuan."
Li Yi cupped his hands and said, "Prince Li Xuan is one of the three heroes in Kyoto. I didn't expect Brother Jiang to be familiar with him. It's really disrespectful."
"Where is it..." Jiang Zian waved his hand, smiled nonchalantly, and said: "This is nothing. Li Yi, the uncle of Chang'an County, and I are close friends. Didn't we tell Brother Li?"
"Oh? Brother Jiang and that Li Yi have a close relationship?" Li Yi looked surprised and lowered his voice and said, "I heard that His Highness the King of Shu has a deep grudge against that Li Yi. Brother Jiang, you..."
The expression on Jiang Zian's face was startled, he laughed, and said: "It's a joke, it's a joke, brother Li, don't take it seriously..., Li Yi and I are actually not that close, brother Li, don't spread rumors when you go out..."
Jiang Zian changed the topic and asked, "Are Brother Li familiar with that Brother Fang? I wonder who Brother Fang is?"
"Not very familiar..." Li Yi shook his head and said, "Actually, this is the first time I've seen him today."
The expression on Jiang Zian's face was a little disappointed. His Highness the King of Shu's attitude towards Brother Fang was very unusual. If we could make friends, there might be another way out in the future. I originally wanted to find out something from here, but my purpose was in vain.
Already.
"Brother Jiang, is this the county captain of Yong County?" Li Yi suddenly looked at him and asked.
Idle time is also idle, and it’s good to spend time listening to Brother Jiang’s bragging.
Jiang Zian nodded with some lack of interest. Just when he was about to say a few words and leave, he suddenly heard the young man opposite say: "To be honest, I also served as a county captain for a period of time..."
"Huh?" Jiang Zian was stunned for a moment and asked, "Brother Li also served as a county captain?"
"Yeah." Li Yi sighed and said, "It's too painful to look back on the past, so I won't mention it anymore, won't mention it anymore..."
At a certain moment, Jiang Zian's eyes immediately changed when he looked at him. He sighed and said: "We are both fallen people from the end of the world. I didn't expect that Brother Li and Jiang would have the same experience..."
He drank the wine in the glass, sighed again, and said: "Like us, we have been studying hard for more than ten years in the cold window, just to be able to enter the official career. No matter how good luck can make people, I, Jiang Zi Ankong, have a lot of ambitions."
, but I can only hide in a place like this and be a small county captain..."
…
The King of Shu smiled and said: "Don't worry, you can do whatever you want in Shuzhou from now on, but don't forget what you promised me."
"That's how it should be." The man surnamed Fang walked out of the hall, turned around and bowed his hands to the King of Shu and said, "Your Highness does not need to see you off far."
After that, he and the Taoist nun turned and left.
Seeing the two people walking away, a man behind the King of Shu said: "Your Highness, do we really want to cooperate with them? I'm afraid that this man's ambition will cause big trouble."
The King of Shu waved his hand and lowered his voice and said: "When I come to the throne, I am still afraid of his little ambition. Don't worry, the day I come to the throne will be the day when they will be destroyed!"
The middle-aged Taoist nun who walked to the front paused and turned back.
The King of Shu saw it from a distance and laughed loudly: "Master Taoist, walk slowly!"
…
Jiang Zian's drunken eyes were dim, and he patted the table and said: "If Brother Li encounters any trouble in Yong County from now on, just come to the county government office to find me..."
Li Yi smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Guo Jiang."
Jiang Zian waved his hand and said dissatisfied: "There is no need to be polite between us, just call me "Zian"!"
Li Yi saw the Taoist nun coming from a distance and said, "I'm afraid Li is leaving. Brother Jiang, we are destined to meet again!"
"Remember to come to the county government office to find me!" Jiang Zian lay on the table, murmured, and then fell into a deep sleep.
"Have you known each other before?" Seeing Jiang Zian's appearance, the man named Fang asked in surprise.
"We just met."
Maybe it was the common experience that aroused a certain emotion in Brother Jiang's chest. After just a few words, he became his life confidant. He confided in him that he wished he had known her for twenty years and almost married Jin Lan on the spot.
…
Of course, it may just be because of your own personality charm.
After all, although the mask covers his face, it cannot hide his temperament. If the mask is taken off, the effect will be better.
"Our power in Jingguo is still very weak. Although there are many believers in Kyoto, they are now targeted by the government and dare not act rashly. In places like Shuzhou, where the government does not do much, it is more suitable for the development of the holy religion. Now it has
The King of Shu has reached an agreement, and he will not stop us, and can even provide convenience for us. However, there is still some shortage of silver at present, and the King of Shu is not willing to provide it for us..."
I don't know if the young man didn't treat him as an outsider, or if what he said at the moment was not confidential. Li Yi was slightly surprised that this guy, the King of Shu, really got involved with these people.
"It's best to make him a follower of our holy religion. The King of Shu is the eldest son of Emperor Jingguo. He is most likely to live in the East Palace. When he inherits the throne in the future..."
When the young man was talking about these things with some excitement, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
"The king of Shu is most likely to succeed?" Li Yi looked at the young man in surprise and asked, "Don't you usually care about government affairs?"
The young man was startled, turned around, looked at Li Yi with a frown, and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
"Have you ever thought about why the King of Shu was deported to Shuzhou when he was living well in Kyoto?"
"Which emperor would expel the prince from the capital when he was seriously ill?"
"A few months ago, the Prime Minister of Qin no longer supported the King of Shu. The Shu King line has lost the support of Prime Minister Qin. Have you ever thought about the reasons behind this?"
"Why is there no student related to the King of Shu in the School of Arithmetic, which the imperial court has high hopes for?"
"In just half a year, the court has gone through several major purges. Have you not checked who are the people who were purged?"
"Have you ever thought about how you would end up with hundreds of thousands of believers by acting so rashly?"
…
…
What kind of holy sect? Li Yi felt that he still looked up to them. Their reputation was very domineering, and their intelligence system was simply scum. They took the old almanac as the latest information. It would be better not to rebel, but once they rebelled, they would die sooner or later!
The Taoist nun turned to look at Li Yi with a thoughtful expression.
The expression on the face of the young man named Fang froze, he opened his mouth and asked: "Is everything you said true?"
