Shangzhou is arguably the richest place among the four southeastern states. The Shang River flows out from the northern foot of Changlong Mountain and runs almost parallel to the Xihe River on the east side all the way north. Because of this, Shangzhou has a long stretch of land along the Shang River. In the Shanghe Plain, Shangzhou City is even more prosperous.
Decades ago, the Shang Kingdom briefly appeared in Shangzhou. At its largest territory, in addition to Shangzhou, it included Tengzhou, Tangzhou, Chengzhou in the east and Kezhou in the west. However, when the first emperor of Jingguo just succeeded to the throne, At that time, Jingguo's army went south, and the large families of Shangguo itself disintegrated on their own, forming the current southeastern states. However, at the time when Jingguo was connected and the major families of Shangguo were disintegrated, under the promise of the first emperor of Jingguo, , also became the local power in several states in the future. The reason why such a pattern was formed was that firstly, Jingguo was really powerful at that time, and it was difficult for Shangguo to resist it. Secondly, it was also the new king of Jingguo who had ascended to great wealth for the first time. On the one hand, they wanted to prove their control, and at the same time, they also needed support to give Jingguo a complete foothold. Therefore, after an exchange of interests, the four southeastern states became particularly powerful.
Now Li Jundu has been in power for so many years, and it has been decades since the late emperor pacified the Shang Kingdom. People who were still subjects of the Shang Kingdom when they were born are now old people. After the Jing Kingdom is destroyed and the Ming Dynasty is destroyed, some hidden dangers must be resolved. As a result, many contradictions have also changed.
The same goes for the major families in the four southeastern states. Some people do not want to be completely controlled by Jingguo, but some people feel that they are all Jingguo's people and the general trend of the world cannot be stopped. They should integrate into Jingguo early and completely integrate with Jingguo. Becoming one is a better choice, so conflicts arise.
As the representative of the new generation of the Yang family, Yang Dian had gone through the palace examination and became the number one scholar that year. He was a man of the hour a few years ago. Although he went through a lot of experience afterwards, he was appointed as the shepherd of Shangzhou three years ago. , but he is looking forward to integrating into the representative of Jingguo. However, as a junior, although he has a status in the Yang family, he cannot shake the authority of his ancestor, his grandfather Yang Quan.
When Yang Quan was in the Shang State, he was already the Grand Master and Duke of the Shang State. He was the leader in the disintegration of the Shang State. It can be said that the Yang family is now a giant. Although he has already He is nearly ninety years old, but he is still sharp and sharp, and he is still the backbone of the entire Yang family.
What happened in Tangzhou not long ago made Yang Dian smell something. At the same time, he also realized that His Majesty had long been dissatisfied with the southeastern states. After the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, the four southeastern states should take the initiative to surrender. However, at the moment, some people are not He began to desperately try to resist and protect himself, but he knew that this was not advisable. After discussing Zhang Feng's move south day and night these days, he felt that the atmosphere had reached a tense stage.
Just when he was worried, his entourage cautiously entered the study and reported: "Sir, there is a person outside asking to see him, saying he is the flag bearer of Shengmin Lake."
"The flag bearer of Shengmin Lake?" Hearing this, Yang Dian's heart beat wildly. He believed that he was young and talented, and could do anything impeccably. The only time he lost some face was when he went to Shengmin Lake many years ago. When he was there, he clearly remembered the young man. Later, he inquired about it and found out that his name was Lin Wuniu. Later, he heard that this man was less than twenty and became a heavenly master canonized by Kun Kingdom. Although he did not accept Kun National reward, but it is already quite astonishing.
"Please!" Compared to when he was in his early twenties, Yang Dian, who is now in his thirties, has a completely different mentality.
Not long after, he saw a strong man in his twenties walking in. The man looked a little more mature than before, but he vaguely remembered that he was the farmer back then, but now he seemed to have lost his farmer appearance and became more mature. Like a knight.
"Master Lin." Facing Lin Wuniu, Yang Dian seemed to have completely forgotten all the unhappiness he had felt at the beginning, and took the initiative to greet Lin Wuniu with a smile.
Lin Wuniu was surprised that Yang Dian recognized him all of a sudden. He couldn't help but admire that the young master was really a god. He didn't miss anything. He said that he would definitely recognize him when he came.
"Yangzhou Mu, I didn't expect you to still remember me."
"Lin Tianshi is one of the top experts in Xuanmen at a young age. How could I not remember that I don't know what Tianshi has to say when he comes to me this time." Although Yang Dian was smiling, he was also a little wary.
Lin Wuniu said directly: "Actually, we passed through Shangzhou half a month ago. But after arriving in Tangzhou, we saw the floods in Tangzhou. People were in dire straits. People in Tangzhou were living in a difficult life. Seeing that winter was coming, I don't know how many people there were. Shangzhou is rich and prosperous, so I came here to ask Yangzhou Mu to rescue him."
Hearing this, Yang Dian's face also felt bitter. He thought that when he was unfurling the flag at Shengmin Lake, he still remembered what he said. As a result, he was severely despised by the person in front of him. However, time has changed, and now he is indeed the person in front of him. It is estimated that all the people in the world, but myself...
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel ashamed, and looked a little unnatural when he saw Lin Wuniu.
"Yangzhou Mu, do you have something to hide? Before we come back, the young master and I have already looked for the land of some mountain gods and the river gods of the Xihe River. The floods in the Xihe River are basically caused by man-made disasters, and the money, grain, and winter clothes sent by the capital have already been It should arrive here in a month, but it has not reached the hands of the people. It is rumored that some of them have arrived in Shangzhou. Shangzhou is rich, so we still need these emergencies?" Lin Wuniu's face looked a little ugly. After all, the young master said that this Yangdian was not real. A gentleman, he seems to be even less like a good person now.
Compared to the farm boy back then, Lin Wuniu was now regarded as one of the most handsome young men in Xuanmen. He spoke and acted completely differently, and he had an aura about him.
Yang Dian also noticed the change in Lin Wuniu's eyes. He smiled bitterly and said: "Celestial Master Lin is a person who has the ability to reach heaven. I once asked two disciples of the National Master. Although they said they were a little dissatisfied with the Celestial Master, But if I had asked them to go to Kun Country to participate in the Dharma Conference that year, they would probably not be able to become Heavenly Master. This shows Tianshi Lin’s ability. Now that Heavenly Master has found out, I will not deny that some of the things are indeed already in Shangzhou."
"How dare you intercept these things? I remember that you were so merciful in Shengmin Lake. Why did you do such an evil thing?" Lin Wuniu asked unceremoniously.
"Master Lin Tianshi, although I am the state pastor of Shangzhou, there are many things that I can't do anything about. Moreover, I didn't ask someone to get those things, but the people of Tangzhou sent them here themselves." Yang Dian explained helplessly.
"Tangzhou officials, big and small, have arrested nearly a hundred people and killed twenty or thirty of them. Are there still officials who are greedy for relief?" Lin Wuniu couldn't believe it. Could it be that these people really lost their heads for some round things? Don’t care!
