A few years ago, in the palace of Dayuan Dynasty. In the morning court, the emperor sat on the dragon throne, and his ministers stood respectfully at the bottom of the steps. "Is there anything else you would like to mention?"
A young man took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."
"Oh, if you have anything to say, dear, please say it." Emperor Dayuan said.
The young man was grabbed by his junior brother's clothes. The young man could slightly see his junior brother shaking his head at him. The young man firmly shook off his junior brother's hand and took that step.
"I wonder if your Majesty has read the three memorials presented by Wei Chen?"
As soon as the young man said this, other courtiers began to discuss quietly, and the atmosphere in the entire court began to become solemn.
Emperor Dayuan frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "I have seen it and I will handle it. Is there anything else? If there is nothing else, just go back."
Unexpectedly, the young man did not retreat but advanced, and continued: "First point, now that the war has gradually subsided, I hope that your majesty will reduce taxes and reduce the burden on the people. Only in this way can the country be stabilized and prosperous, and the country and the people be safe."
"I understand, you can retreat now."
"Second point, Wei Chen believes that most of the mountain practitioners of unknown origin have appeared in some towns in our Dayuan Dynasty. This has greatly affected the lives of our people, and I think we should take a hard crackdown. "
"Okay, you're a mountain cultivator of unknown origin, right? I know, please step back." Emperor Dayuan's tone became much more serious.
"The third point."
Emperor Dayuan slapped the dragon chair angrily, stood up directly, pointed at the young man and cursed angrily: "Chen Mengde! That's enough for you!"
The young man knelt down directly and continued, "The third point is that I implore Your Majesty to give up control of the vassal countries and let their monarch truly become a monarch in name only."
"Presumptuous! You are really presumptuous! Chen Mengde, you are so brave! Do you know what you are talking about! Come on, give it to me."
An old man immediately knelt down in front of the young man and shouted: "Your Majesty, please think twice, Your Majesty, please think twice."
Seeing the old man rushing out, all the ministers knelt down one after another: "Your Majesty, think twice, think twice."
When Emperor Dayuan saw all the ministers kneeling down, he laughed angrily and said: "Hahahaha, hahahaha, good, good, good. Chen Mengde, you can do it. So many ministers are begging for mercy for you. Then you should listen carefully. Listen, why have I not approved your three-point memorial?"
"First point! Now in the entire Youpingzhou, in addition to the Dayuan Dynasty, there is also a big country called the Dayan Dynasty! The war is gradually subsided? The Xianjia sect has never stopped. Big enemy, you want me to reduce taxes? Are you, Chen Mengde, going to the border to defend your country by yourself?"
"Second point! Mountain people of unknown origin? How high are the requirements of the Dayuan Dynasty for people from the mountains to enter the city? Chen Mengde, have you seen it? There is a mixture of fish and dragons, but manpower patrols have also been strengthened, and nothing major has happened now. One The people in the mountains pay as much as twenty wealthy businessmen.”
"The third point is even more ridiculous! If you cancel the control of the vassal countries, then they will be invaded by the Dalan Dynasty. When the attack comes, the people of the Dayuan Dynasty will be injured. Do you, Chen Mengde, want to be This eternal sinner!"
Emperor Dayuan grabbed the three memorials next to him with one hand and threw them directly on Chen Mengde's forehead, scratching his forehead and leaving blood dripping on the three memorials. It was the three memorials he had lifted up.
At this moment, Long Yan was furious, and the entire hall was silent. Even Chen Mengde, who had just bravely spoken out, his heart was beating wildly. He didn't know whether he was afraid that he was about to be executed, or that he was afraid of just this move. He killed his master and junior brother.
"Don't think that since you study in the same academy as the prince and are his disciples, I don't dare to kill you." Emperor Dayuan said the most breathtaking words in the most ordinary tone.
"Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, please spare your life. He knows he is wrong, he knows he is wrong." The old man kneeling at the front is the current Taifu, Chen Mengde's teacher. At this moment, he choked, fearing that the Holy Emperor would kill him in the next second. This great disciple was put to death.
"Father, spare your life. Please spare Meng De's life. He was just confused for a moment." Hearing his voice before seeing him, the prince ran in and knelt down even further in front of the tutor.
Seeing this scene, Emperor Dayuan said slowly: "Humph, Chen Mengde, for the sake of the prince and the tutor, I can spare your life. However, death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be escaped. Since you think your own Your suggestion is right, but mine is wrong, so you can go to Xiwan Town in Buxing Kingdom to practice."
"By the way, since Chen Mengde, as a senior brother, has gone, why not Liu Zhiqing also go and learn."
"Thank you Lord for your kindness!" Taifu shouted.
——
Chen Mengde recalled his teacher's words of thanks to the Lord for his kindness. He still remembered them vividly, as if it happened yesterday. As for how he remembered this memory, we have to start with the two teenagers who came to see him yesterday.
"Oh, this is Chen Mengde, watering the flowers. These flowers are beautiful."
Chen Mengde looked up and saw a new boy standing outside the railing, looking at him watering the flowers. Behind him were three boys, two of whom came to persuade him to go out yesterday.
The young man who spoke continued: "Brother, my name is Fan Xiaoxi, and this is my good friend Gao Zhuli. As for these two young men, Chen Dazhuang also met yesterday. My cousin Fan Yintang and my senior brother practiced Moon Court.”
Chen Mengde put down the wooden spoon for watering in his hand, put his hands behind his back and said, "Master Fan, right? Yesterday your cousin and your senior brother explained to me the reason why they came here, and I also made my own Decide. You should find other big lawsuits to fight this lawsuit."
"Hey, what a coincidence." Fan Xiaoxi threw the gift in his hand to a few people behind him, pushed open the bamboo fence door of Chen Mengde's house with ease, and consciously picked up the gift that Chen Mengde had just put down. The wooden bucket helped Chen Mengde water the flowers that had not yet been watered.
"Don't say it, Chen Dazhuang, please don't say it. After listening to their description last night, I also feel very strongly that I shouldn't disturb you. After all, Chen Dazhuang has already taken over. And I see that your hair is all white. Fa, I really don’t want to disturb you anymore.”
"But we don't know any of the famous Dazhuangs in this industry. So, we are here to ask Chen Dazhuang to help us take a look. What do you think, okay?"
Chen Mengde looked at Fan Xiaoxi who was bending over to help him water the flowers, and then looked at the young men outside the bamboo fence. He was stunned and said, "Okay, as long as I don't have to leave the mountain, anything is fine. Then Let me help you take a look."
As soon as he heard Chen Mengde say yes, Fan Xiaoxi immediately put down the wooden spoon in his hand, covered Chen Mengde's hands with both hands, and said movedly: "Okay, great. I knew that Chen Dazhuang would not stand idly by and let innocent people suffer injustice." You are aggrieved. Hey, hey, why are you guys still standing outside in a daze? Hurry up and put your things into Chen Dazhuang's house."
Just when Chen Mengde was about to refuse, Fan Xiaoxi immediately hugged Chen Mengde and didn't give him a chance to speak: "Good brother, I'll just say it. No wonder I felt like old friends as soon as I saw Chen Dazhuang."
Several teenagers were messing around in Chen Mengde's house, but Chen Mengde was dragged outside by Fan Xiaoxi for a long time. When Gao Zhuli walked outside and made a gesture, Fan Xiaoxi pulled Chen Mengde and said yes. It’s time to get down to business.
As soon as Chen Mengde stepped into the house, he felt that the house was no longer his. The house was tidy, and there were several cups of freshly brewed green tea and pastries on the table, as well as several portraits. The green tea and cakes were bought by Fan Xiaoxi and others. What should be brewed has been brewed, and what should be served is served.
After all, Chen Mengde had been in the officialdom, so how could he not know Fan Xiaoxi's tricks? However, they are mountain people after all, so they have to be more careful in their actions and words.
"Come on, brother Chen, let's have a sip of tea and then some crispy flower cake. This pairing is perfect." Fan Xiaoxi said and handed the crispy flower cake to Chen Mengde. Chen Mengde did not shirk and said Thanks, he started eating.
The next second, I will definitely pick up these portraits and ask me which one is more powerful.
Fan Xiaoxi put the portraits on the table in front of Chen Mengde and asked, "Brother Chen, what do you think of these people?"
Sure enough, Chen Mengde smiled slightly and began to introduce the portraits one by one. Lin Dazhuang was known as the "King of Iron Mouth". Once he entered the officialdom, with his sharp tongue, he was able to refute the opponent Dazhuang. I couldn't say a word. Li Dazhuang doesn't like to take the initiative, but every time he speaks out, he will make others angry. He is also a very powerful Dazhuang.
There is also Zhang Dazhuang, who is best at using one move to ask himself, the government, the other party, the plaintiff, the defendant, and the people. But he is called a living Bodhisattva in the great realm.
Chen Mengde introduced them to them one by one about the general situation of all the portraits they brought. Next, they will definitely ask whether their opponent is their junior brother and whether they have any countermeasures to better deal with Liu Zhiqing.
As expected, Fan Xiaoxi then said: "Brother Chen, my brothers should have mentioned to you yesterday that our opponent is your junior brother, Liu Zhiqing."
Although Chen Mengde could guess it in advance, when Fan Xiaoxi asked them, he still didn't know how to answer them.
After a moment of silence, Chen Mengde said slowly: "My junior brother, this person is actually quite good at heart. He just took a slight detour. In the officialdom, if he talks more about the holy words and principles, maybe he can admit defeat."
"Are you sure? Rumors say that in order to re-enter his official career and for his own power, he will win at all costs, even if his opponent is innocent. ." Fan Xiaoxi said while observing Chen Mengde's eyes, and his eyes did not dodge.
Chen Mengde shook his head and murmured: "Indeed, it is possible for him to do this, but give it a try. Maybe, we can really bring him back to the right path."
Fan Xiaoxi nodded, put away the portraits on the table, and said, "Okay, I'm going to bother Brother Chen today. I would also like to thank Brother Chen for taking the time to choose a portrait for us today. Farewell."
Fan Xiaoxi stood up, bowed his hands to Chen Mengde, and walked out. The remaining teenagers followed Fan Xiaoxi's example and thanked Chen Mengde before leaving one after another.
This left Chen Mengde scratching his head. If he had followed the normal development path, after asking his junior brother about his shortcomings, the next step would have been to let him out, but that didn't happen. This in the end is why? Chen Mengde then shook his head, the world is so big and full of wonders. I have only met a few people, so how can I guess what everyone in the world is thinking? Everyone's behavior is different, so what's wrong with that?
However, if they can really make their junior brother return to the right path, no longer be obsessed with the power of power, and consider the common people wholeheartedly, then Chen Mengde will owe them a great debt.
——
In an alchemy room in Sudou Town of Buxing Kingdom, a well-dressed, elegant and fat middle-aged man roared with rage and slapped a servant hard on the face. The servant was already very skinny and had two dark circles on his face. He was slapped so hard by the obese man and immediately flew backwards into the corner.
"What's going on! Tell me!" the fat man yelled at the servant.
The servant immediately stood up, knelt in front of the fat man, and said timidly: "Boss, I...we found out that a little mountain doctor in Xiwan Town prescribed the wrong medicine and killed someone. The impact of this incident is so great that people now don’t dare to buy tonics casually.”
"Is there something seriously wrong with you? He prescribed the wrong medicine to kill someone. What does it have to do with me selling tonics? Besides, don't you fucking think of a solution on your own? While this matter is making such a fuss You are so big, wantonly smearing the doctor, just fabricating a bunch of diseases that don’t need to be treated, take tonics, strengthen your body, and you will naturally live to ninety-nine. You damn, a bunch of losers!"
As the fat man spoke, he kicked the servant with his feet. The servant did not hide away and allowed his boss to kick him.
"As for losing such a big temper? Boss Tu." A cold and lazy voice came from outside the door.
With a "squeak" sound, the door opened. A young man leaned against the door and looked at the fat man with a smile.
After seeing the young man, the obese man took out a bottle of medicine and a few ingots of silver from his clothes, and smashed it directly into the servant's face: "You must have clearly remembered what I just said. Get out of here and finish it right away."
The servant picked up the silver and medicine scattered on the ground with golden eyes, and kept saying thank you, sir, thank you, sir. On the way out, he immediately opened the bottle of medicine and poured it into his nose.
When Li Yun saw this scene, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile: "Boss Tu, it's okay. The people have become wary, but their servants have become addicted."
Boss Tu snorted angrily and said, "I wonder what Mr. Li Yun is here for this time?"
Li Yun smiled and walked to the table filled with elixirs, picked up a bottle and said, "My master has spoken and the plan is about to be launched. I don't need to tell Boss Tu what to do."
When Boss Tu heard that it was the leader, he was shocked. He lost all his arrogance and asked fearfully like the servant just now: "Can you let the leader wait a little longer? Lord Liyun, I just reprimanded you." You should have seen it when I was leaving."
Li Yun seemed not to have heard anything. He put the medicine in his hand into his clothes, walked up to Boss Tu, patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Of course I saw it, but I'm just a messenger." , as for whether you can do it or not, what will be the result? That is a matter for my master to decide, let’s go.”
Li Yun walked outside the door and said with a smile: "You too, please understand it." Then he turned into a tabby cat and jumped off the railing.
Boss Tu waited until Li Yun left, then roared and overturned the entire table. It's all the blame on that vicious charlatan. It's all his fault for killing his drug addict a few years ago. Yes, it's all his fault.
Hey, wait, I remember that he seems to be in the prison in Xiwan Town now, so all this will be easier to handle. Suddenly, Boss Tu showed a sinister smile.
