Mr. Liu found a comfortable angle and knelt on the ground, looking at the two people who were changing glasses. From time to time, he smacked his lips and groaned softly. He really didn't know how this Wen Renshe, who was studying, had drinking utensils.
Wen Renzheng and Hu Jun are now completely drunkards. They no longer have the same momentum as when they entered the school. As for the issue of drinking in the school, Wen Renzheng is the boss of Wen Renshe. Just drink, it won't be a problem at all.
Leaning on the desk and changing into a comfortable position, Liu Mingzhi also poured himself a drink. He didn't order any food, but he was a little unaccustomed to drinking: "Old man, is this brother your new disciple? He looks a little unfamiliar. ah."
Hu Jun stopped drinking and carefully placed the wine glass in his hand on the desk, as if he would be heartbroken if he scattered even a little bit of Thousand Mile Incense. Then he straightened his clothes and gave Liu Mingzhi a scholarly gift: "Brother Hu Jun, a northerner. "Two months ago, I went to Dangyang Academy through the mountain gate, and now I am a student of my mentor, Shanzhang Wenrenzheng. I have met Brother Liu, and I have admired Brother Liu for a long time. It is a great honor to meet him today."
I have admired this ghost for a long time. You can be forgiven for saying that you are from the south of the Yangtze River and have heard of my name. People from the north have heard of my name, so that’s a ghost. You scholars, but Liu Mingzhi still responded with a salute: "Hu Brother, you're welcome. Since Brother Hu can be admitted to Dangyang Academy, which has all the talented people in the world, he must be a hero among people. Liu's humble reputation cannot get into Brother Hu's ears. It is fate that we meet today. You and I are two brothers. We need to support each other in the future, and if there is a day when we can reach great heights, I hope Brother Hu will not forget about Liu, and Liu will be satisfied."
Wen Renzheng put down the wine glass in his hand with satisfaction. His old face looked at the two young people in front of him with great satisfaction. One was a talented person whom he had chosen, and the other was a talented person under his sect. He could train the two of them into towering talents. Tree, this life is enough: "Liu Xiaozi, Zi Le, you two are unparalleled geniuses. You must support one or two more in the future. Today's Dragon Kingdom seems to be in the sky, but in fact, the sun is setting in the west. If there are no geniuses to help the country, it will be terrible." Soon, the seemingly powerful imperial court was actually responsible for internal and external troubles. The White Lotus Sect has been rooted in the south of the Yangtze River for many years. Some people are so happy about their success, how could they know that a thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by an ant nest, and if the White Lotus Sect is not uprooted, it will become a serious problem sooner or later."
Liu Mingzhi fiddled with the wine glass and remembered that the reason why Qinglian came to Jinling was that he was homeless after the White Lotus Sect was wiped out by the imperial court: "Old man, I heard that the imperial court sent Northern Xinjiang Wuhou General Zhang Kuang to lead troops to attack the White Lotus Sect. , has already killed every one of his followers, and once his arm is broken, it may not be that easy to cause trouble again, right?"
Hu Jun also nodded in agreement. He heard the news about this incident not long after he entered the Jiangnan realm. Although the White Lotus Sect was not killed by Long Wuwei, they basically had no ability to cause trouble. After all, rebellion requires manpower: "Teacher, Brother Liu is right, the White Lotus Sect is now like a lost dog, being hunted down in pieces by the imperial army, and it is difficult to survive. Is it a bit foolish to resist the imperial court?"
Wen Renzheng let out a long sigh, stood up and looked out the window at the Qianli Mountains and the lush jungles: "You two are still young, there are some things that you can't just look at now. Long Wuwei, the Marquis of the Protector of the Country, is indeed a The army with ten enemies and a hundred battles has almost no rivals in the northern frontier, but after all, they are not familiar with the forces in the south of the Yangtze River. Even though the Longwu Guards are powerful, they cannot stay in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time. Most of the disciples in the south of the Yangtze River are weak, so the garrison conquers the minority. It's okay to fight against the bandits, but it's not enough to deal with the White Lotus Sect."
Liu Mingzhi has also heard what the garrison in the Jiangnan states is like. There are almost no wars in the Jiangnan area. The officers and soldiers in the garrison are neglected and weak in training. The title of the garrison is just a name, and the armor is complete. It's just an excuse: "The old man is saying that the roots of the White Lotus Sect are very deep and it is difficult to uproot them in one fell swoop?"
"Teacher, even if the White Lotus Sect is a towering tree and cannot be captured in one fell swoop, where can he mobilize so many golden phoenixes? Rebellion is not as simple as what you say! There is no food, grass, men, horses, and materials. If they want to rise up, they have Who will accompany you? Rely on those martial arts masters in the religion? Compared to the behemoth of the imperial court, they are nothing more than a mantis trying to use a chariot."
Wen Renzheng shook his head: "You are wrong. What is scary about the White Lotus Sect does not lie in their foundation, nor in their masters. What is scary is their ability to fool the people. You must have heard of the White Lotus Sect's slogan. , Our Lady of the White Lotus, has boundless magical power, and they have been pretending to be magical and playing some tricks for a long time. The people really think that it is the magical power of the Holy Mother of the White Lotus and follow them blankly. This is the biggest fear. "
Liu Mingzhi thought for a while, and then he understood what Wen Renzheng was worried about. As he said, the terrible thing about the White Lotus Sect is not the masters in the sect, but their foolish ideas and tricks of pretending to be gods and ghosts, which can easily make people fall into disrepute. People who have never seen the world blindly follow them, let alone ordinary people. Even people with knowledge and culture in this world are afraid of those inexplicable tricks. The same is true for the masters of the White Lotus Sect. There is no way to solve the problem of limitations. As Prime Minister Hu Jun said, broadening people's wisdom is the right way.
"Old man, after all, the root cause lies in the mysterious leader of the White Lotus Sect. He is too inflammatory. As long as this person is not eliminated, the White Lotus Sect will not become extinct and will be reborn sooner or later."
Wen Renzheng chuckled and nodded, looking at Young Master Liu fiercely: "You are right, you hit the nail on the head, the White Lotus Sect is basically this mysterious leader, and we can only eliminate this person. Worry-free, the leaderless White Lotus Sect will not be able to do anything at that time, and the imperial court can sit back and relax."
"But, teacher, the White Lotus Sect has been rooted in Jiangnan for decades. It will not be easy to get rid of this person."
"It's as hard as climbing to heaven. I have lived in Jinling for more than ten years and I have never heard of anyone seeing the true face of the leader of the White Lotus Sect. This man is a cunning fox and never shows his true face to others. Otherwise, he would just draw a picture of his figure and catch him in the sea. Clerk, this person will never escape death even if he always has wings."
Young Master Liu stood up slowly while holding the wine glass: "Old man, forget it, this is something that the emperor of the capital should worry about. Let's not worry about it. Living a good life now is the most important thing."
Wen Renzheng gently patted Young Master Liu on the shoulder: "Boy, you have already been deeply trapped in the situation and it is difficult to get out!"
Liu Mingzhi frowned slightly. There was something in the old man's words: "Old man, don't scare me. I follow the rules every day and have never done anything out of the ordinary. How did I get into this situation?"
Wen Renzheng told Liu Mingzhi that he was already deeply involved in the situation when he received the gold medal, but he could only remain silent: "Boy, I ask you, what does rebellion need?"
"How brave!"
