She planned to stay in Wuhouling for a while to have the baby, and it was obvious that she valued the child she was carrying.
This is a matter of course!
It is now the early years of the Sui Dynasty, and the influence of Confucianism in the court has declined to a certain extent after the Wuhu chaos, but its influence among the people is huge.
Confucianism, modified by Dong Zhongshu, greatly suppressed and restricted women.
Especially when it comes to pregnancy, almost all of the pressure is not on the woman.
As a native of this world, Zhu Yuyan will be affected by worldly customs no matter how strong he is.
Especially when she knew that she might be pregnant once in her life, it was even more impossible for her to give up the child she was pregnant with easily. It was natural for her to give birth smoothly.
It's just obvious that Zhu Yuyan's hatred for Shi Zhixuan has reached a crazy level, and it is simply a situation where he will never stop fighting.
The topic that had been diverted away due to the surprise of the pregnancy was soon brought back by Zhu Yuyan himself.
This time, she didn't take it personally.
"As long as Wu Hou helps deal with Shi Zhixuan, the Yinkui faction will remember Wu Hou's favor!"
Zhu Yuyan said directly: "In the future, whenever Wu Hou has any mission, as long as it does not damage the foundation of Yinkui Sect, everyone in Yinkui Sect will go all out!"
"for example?"
Lei Hu became interested and asked: "Master Zhu also knows that there are very few places where I need foreign aid now!"
"If Marquis Wu needs the classics collected by the Yinkui Sect or even the other sects of the Holy Sect, as long as they don't involve fundamental mental skills, I can get them for Marquis Wu!"
Zhu Yuyan obviously studied Thunder Tiger a lot and knew what he needed right now. He smiled and said: "There are also low-level talents from various factions. As long as Wu Hou needs them, I can get them to work for Wu Hou!"
Lei Hu was a little moved. The books and talents Zhu Yuyan mentioned were the resources he needed.
The Marquis of Wu left it to him to plan and build the country, and the future development route had already been determined. Naturally, he would not only respect Confucianism and overthrow hundreds of schools of thought.
On the contrary, he also wanted to see the grand event where hundreds of schools of thought flourished, so he naturally needed talents who could study the classics of hundreds of schools of thought.
The early Sui Dynasty is a good starting point. At this time, the confrontation between the Jin and the Southern and Northern Dynasties had just ended. The Hu people had been ravaging the north for hundreds of years, and the original Han tradition had been destroyed to a great extent.
The influence of Confucianism has been severely damaged. Although Confucianism is still the mainstream in the court, due to the war, other doctrines are not without soil for development.
Looking at the Sui Dynasty in official history, the influence of Confucianism is generally very average. Even in the early Tang Dynasty in official history, Confucianism was not as powerful as it was in the Song Dynasty.
Otherwise, the two sects of the Holy Sect and the Six Paths would not develop very prosperously.
Their ideas are naturally not in the same pot as Confucianism. Obviously, Confucianism is not powerful enough to suppress all other thoughts and doctrines.
The decline of the Holy Sect lasted until the Song and Ming Dynasties when Confucianism was at its peak. At that time, Confucianism became the mainstream thought in the world, and the various sects of the Holy Sect had turned into pure political forces, and they were still suppressed to the point of being unable to breathe.
By the time of the Song Dynasty, the Yellow World had become a complete battle between Buddhism and Taoism, and the Holy Sect could only knock on the corners and gain a sense of presence from time to time.
As for the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the dispute between Taoism and Buddhism, there was also the battle between the Han and the Mongols. The influence of the Holy Sect had almost been weakened to the extreme.
The situation is fine at the moment. As long as Lei Hu doesn't make things known to the world, outsiders don't have much qualifications to comment on how he makes troubles in his own territory.
In the future, he will gradually introduce the classics of various schools of thought preserved by the Holy Sect as important materials for students to study under the rule in the future. He is very much looking forward to the teachings of various schools of thought blossoming and bearing fruit within the rule.
"Zhu faction leader, do you know Shi Zhixuan's current location?"
After thinking about it, Lei Hu asked directly: "Precise location!"
Seeing that the senior Yinkui faction opposite showed confusion, he smiled and explained: "My identity is sensitive after all, and I may only have one chance to make a move!"
After saying this, he paused and said leisurely: "Shi Zhixuan is not an easy person. Once he notices that I have murderous intentions, even if there is another chance in the future, won't he run away?"
"this……"
Zhu Yuyan was a little embarrassed for a moment. Because she was so resentful, she really didn't think so much.
Now that Lei Hu had brought it up, she had to think about it. Indeed, as Lei Hu said, he probably only had one chance to make a move at most.
Shi Zhixuan's scheming is too deep, and his martial arts are also quite amazing.
If he were just the leader of the Huajian sect, that would be fine. The martial arts of the Huajian sect had never been very good, and basically all the sects were inferior to the Holy Sect in terms of their unique skills.
The key point is that he is still the master of the Butian Pavilion of the Holy Sect, which is very troublesome.
Butian Pavilion is a group of assassins among hundreds of schools of thought. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, all the assassins who are famous throughout the ages are the ancestors of Butian Pavilion.
Not to mention how powerful the assassination technique is, the key point is Butian Pavilion's lightness skill.
Otherwise, if the target is assassinated but cannot escape, wouldn't it be a suicide attack? How can it be called an assassination?
Zhu Yuyan and Shi Zhixuan have been entangled in love for several years. Even if Shi Zhixuan hides it again, basically the direct lineage has been exposed.
She also knew that Shi Zhixuan's Qing Gong was very powerful, and Wu Hou Leihu didn't cultivate Qi. Even if he could beat Shi Zhixuan, it would not be easy to kill him.
What makes her feel even more embarrassed is that she doesn't know where the heartless man Shi Zhixuan is now!
"We can discuss this matter slowly, there is no need to be too hasty!"
Seeing through Zhu Yuyan's embarrassment at this moment, Lei Hu said with a smile: "You guys are here for the first time, why don't you take a rest and take a look at the scenery of the south, and then talk about cooperation!"
"That's fine!"
Zhu Yuyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said with a smile: "I heard that Wu Hou managed the territory to be prosperous and lush, and we were about to see it!"
The other senior officials of the Yinkui Sect also nodded politely and were quite curious about Wu Houling.
They are not like Zhu Yuyan, whose hearts are filled with boundless resentment towards someone, their minds are full of thoughts of revenge, and they have no mind to appreciate the scenery on the road.
The senior officials of the Yinkui Sect who were traveling with them were quite interested in the Wuhou Territory. They noticed that since entering the Wuhou Territory, the scene here was completely different from that in the North and other areas in the south.
If there was any difference, it would be that Wu Houling gave them the impression that he was very well-behaved.
Of course, the prosperity here is exaggerated. Just from the mental outlook of the ordinary people, we can see that General Wu Hou Leihu managed the territory very well, surpassing most of the so-called capable ministers.
They are all heroes who have traveled all over the country. After seeing a lot, they naturally have their own set of judgment standards.
Coupled with the special status of the Holy Sect, they are more likely to wander around the market, and they are also concerned about the needs of the people. Not to mention Men'erqing, they understand it to a minimum of 80%.
As long as we can eat enough and let our offspring run forward, that's all we can hope for.
It is a pity that there are very few officials who can do this. Although the Northland has a large population and is much better developed than the South, the lives of the people in the North are not that good either.
The power of the aristocratic families is too powerful. They monopolize all resources and leave only a few for the people. The good times can be better. Once there is a natural disaster or man-made disaster, they can only pray to God for a way out.
.
As for the south, what the Chen Dynasty was like before, the situation now is not much better than then.
The Sui Dynasty has not yet completely taken control of Jiangnan, and rebellions are now rife in the south. It is hard to say when it will be completely stable and focus on developing people's livelihood.
Although the nobles in the south are not as powerful as those in the north, they are not easy to deal with either.
What they saw and heard along the way was that the powerful nobles controlled a place. The living standards of the people depended entirely on how cruel the local powerful were.
Only when they entered Wuhou territory did they see the situation where the local powerful were in control of everything.
The physical and mental outlook of the people led by Marquis Wu was also one of the best they had ever seen, which shows how powerful Marquis Wu was in governing the place.
Of course, what makes the senior officials of the Yinkui Sect most happy is that Wu Hou Leihu is a member of the Holy Sect and is in the same camp as them.
Although there are fierce intrigues and fights within the Holy Sect, the identity of the members of the Wuhou Holy Sect still makes them feel friendly and have a little bit of trust.
What's more, since the rise of Wu Hou, he has basically not participated in the disputes within the Holy Sect. He has good relations with the two factions of the Holy Sect, which is rare.
Moreover, he also showed that he valued the talents of the Holy Sect. Even though he recruited low-level talents that they looked down upon, the senior leaders of the Yinkui Sect were happy.
At least, Wu Hou Leihu recognized his identity as a member of the Holy Sect, and when in need, he immediately sought help from the two sects of the Holy Sect, the Six Paths, instead of turning to those annoying guys from the Baidao.
No matter what, Wu Hou is one of his own people.
The Wuhou Territory can also be regarded as the territory of the companions of the Holy Sect. They can freely and boldly carry out their activities here without worrying about being suppressed from the official level, which is rare.
If it weren't for lack of time, the Yinkui faction wouldn't have time to make arrangements. They all wanted to establish several important strongholds in Wuhou. Whether it was to do business to raise money, or to use it as a training base to cultivate talents, there was no need to worry about it.
Suppression and discrimination at the official level.
This is quite rare for the various sects of the Holy Sect, and it is also true for the Yinkui Sect, the largest force in the Holy Sect.
Although the Yinkui Sect is incredibly powerful, it is suppressed to the point of being unable to breathe in the North. The dual pressure from Buddhism and the government is no joke.
However, they never expected that Wu Hou Leihu's request for cooperation would be delivered to them so quickly, as if they had already planned it.
"Are you mistaken? Why does Marquis Wu want so many female gentlemen at one go?"
Looking at the list of personnel and material requirements in his hand, Bian Fuli's face was full of doubts. He looked at Zhu Yuyan in confusion and asked: "Has the faction leader seen it?"
Zhu Yuyan shook his head and muttered: "I'm afraid, as Wu Hou said, he needs many female gentlemen to help teach the many girls under his rule!"
