"What's the matter?" Zhang Zifan looked at Li Xingyun in front of him, his delicate face full of doubts. He turned his head, turned his eyes from the people outside the curtain of the carriage back to Li Xingyun, and asked.
Li Xingyun raised his hand, the true energy surged in his palm, and there was a faint flash of golden thunder. He took the iron fan Zhang Zifan placed next to him into his palm, and slowly spread it out.
After a long time, Li Xingyun looked at Zhang Zifan in front of him and said: "Brother Zhang, I want to establish an organization that is independent of the three provinces and six ministries, called the "cabinet", and is responsible for handling political affairs in various places.
When it comes to governing the country, there are very few people I can use who can be to the right of Brother Zhang. Therefore, it is best for Brother Zhang to be in charge of this cabinet. "
"This..." Zhang Zifan's eyes flickered when he heard this. For a long time, he looked at Li Xingyun in front of him, as if he suddenly figured something out, and said, "Since Your Majesty trusts me, then Zhang Zifan naturally respects me more than obeying his orders."
"With Brother Zhang here, I can rest easy." Li Xingyun touched the iron fan with his hand, feeling the coldness on the fan, looked at Zhang Zifan in front of him, nodded, and said with a smile.
"How much gold and silver is there in this dragon spring?
How does Your Majesty plan to use these gold and silver? "Zhang Zifan looked at Li Xingyun in front of him and said in a deep voice while thinking.
"Please ask Brother Zhang to teach me." Li Xingyun raised his hands, holding iron fans with both hands like Zhang Zifan cupping his fists, imitating his brother Zhang's appearance in the previous life with a hint of ridicule, and said.
"According to my wishes, all this gold and silver will be used to strengthen the army." Zhang Zifan pondered for a long time, looked at Li Xingyun in front of him, and said calmly and resolutely.
"Brother Zhang, this..." Li Xingyun looked at Zhang Zifan in front of him with hesitation on his face.
"It seems that His Majesty's thoughts are different from those of the minister. How about asking Your Majesty to share your views first?" Zhang Zifan looked at Li Xingyun in front of him, and did not answer directly, but asked calmly.
"I once promised to make the world unified. Having obtained countless gold and silver from Longquan, I should reduce taxes and start a new era with the people. I will no longer disturb the people and recuperate." Li Xingyun looked at Zhang Zifan in front of him, thought for a moment, and then said.
“The way to govern a country is not about good and evil, but only about governing chaos. Governance will lead to prosperity, while chaos will lead to decline.
Brother Li is now the emperor, not a knight-errant, so he should think about the way to long-term peace and stability.
If you don't plan for the overall situation, you can't plan for a region; if you don't plan for the eternity, you can't plan for the moment. "Zhang Zifan looked at Li Xingyun in front of him and said. He raised his hand and subconsciously wanted to spread out the folding fan to elaborate, but found that the folding fan was in Li Xingyun's hand.
He just looked at Li Xingyun quietly.
When Li Xingyun saw this, he subconsciously wanted to hand the fan back to Zhang Zifan, but then he thought about it and imitated Zhang Zifan's usual posture of unfolding the folding fan in a chic manner, unfolded the folding fan and fanned it.
"I would like to hear the details." Li Xingyun said with a smile, looking at Zhang Zifan in front of him.
“In today’s world, we don’t talk about the clichéd wars, but we talk about the current situation.
Years of wars caused the water conservancy system to fall into disrepair, and Qing Zhuang died on the battlefield.
But when it comes to Zhang Quanyi, when he was appointed Yin of Henan in the third year of Guangqi's reign, the land was covered with bones, thorns abounded, and there were no cultivators in the fields.
The disadvantages of the camp system are so serious that local powerful people annex the land;
Nowadays, Jiedushi in various places hold great power, grind their teeth, suck blood, and kill people like hemp.
It is easy to pacify the princes in the world, but it is difficult to bring peace to the princes and control disasters; it is easy to stop wars with war, but it is difficult to make the people live and work in peace and contentment. "Having said this, Zhang Zifan took a deep look at Li Xingyun, and then said firmly: "Brother Li... Your Majesty, your troops can attack all directions today.
But to protect the country in the long run and the people to live and work in peace and contentment, you need an army that belongs only to you. "
Li Xingyun was silent.
He slowly lowered his head.
"Reducing taxes with gold and silver from Longquan cannot change the plight of the people in the world. Only by using the power of Longquan to reform can we create peace for all ages.
Brother Li, can you return the fan to me? "Zhang Zifan looked at Li Xingyun in front of him, smiled, and said.
"Yeah." Li Xingyun was surprised when he heard this. He closed the iron fan and handed it to Zhang Zifan.
Zhang Zifan calmly took the iron fan from Li Xingyun.
For a moment, both of them were silent. Li Xingyun thought about what Zhang Zifan said, while Zhang Zifan was waiting for Li Xingyun to react.
"Brother Zhang, is this a sin?" After a long time, Li Xingyun sighed and said quietly.
Li Xingyun didn't say what it was, but Zhang Zifan understood it.
"It's not that easy." Zhang Zifan said, then raised his hand, patted Li Xingyun on the shoulder, and said: "Brother Li, a hungry, cold, and precarious beggar, if he can avoid doing evil, it is a great good deed.
To be a chivalrous person, to stick to one's true nature and not to harm others with one's own bravery can be called a great good deed. If you can rob the rich and give to the poor, or sacrifice yourself to fight for the common people in the world, you can be called a saint.
But for the emperor, it is not enough to not practice evil and stick to one's heart. A king can only be considered qualified if he can give alms to beggars. "
Not long after, the carriage had passed through Luoyang City, and the Mirror Heart Demon had already arranged for more than a thousand soldiers to wait here.
The military formation was majestic and uniform. The warriors wearing black armor were all tall and broad-shouldered. The black armor shone with cold light, giving people a feeling of indestructibility. They were armed with sharp swords and carved bows, exuding a sharp aura. The blade of the sword flashed with cold light, and the bow string was tightened. Looking northwest to the nine heavens, Sirius lowered his eyes with murderous intent.
The military formations were neat and uniform, showing a carefully arranged formation. The black-armored soldiers were arranged in a square formation, strict, orderly and integrated. The majestic momentum of the military formation was irresistible, as if a biting north wind was blowing by.
"Your Majesty, we are ready." A bad guy walked up to the car, knelt down on one knee and said respectfully.
Mirror Heart Demon personally arranged it. The officers at all levels who control this group of thousands of soldiers are all bad people and will not make any mistakes.
"Raise troops!" Li Xingyun felt something in his heart and said.
"Follow your orders." The bad guy retreated, and then began to pass on orders, and the army slowly started to move.
"By the way, Your Majesty, I haven't asked yet, who is the talented person you said you wanted to visit?" Zhang Zifan leaned on the carriage frame, spread out the iron fan, and fanned himself indifferently, while looking at Li Li in front of him. Nebula asked with a bit of curiosity.
"Brother Zhang, have you ever heard of the four great corpse ancestors of the Xuanming Sect, the craftsmen who make colorful decorations and weld swords for thousands of miles in Chidi?" Li Xingyun looked at Zhang Zifan in front of him and said.
"The Four Great Corpse Ancestors?
As early as when he was young, I once heard Li Siyuan say that there were four top masters in the Xuanming Sect, each possessing magical powers and being extremely powerful. "Zhang Zifan looked at Li Xingyun in front of him and answered.
"Yes." Li Xingyun nodded after hearing this, acknowledging Zhang Zifan's statement.
…
now.
Inside Luoyang Palace.
Mirror Heart Demon is sitting on the dragon chair and at a small table next to the imperial case, obsessed with the various memorials on the case.
"I'm so tired, ugh..." Jing Xinmo raised his head and raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, even the makeup on his face was wiped off. After relaxing for a while, he immersed himself in the book again and began to suffer. Dry.
Not long after, a girl with a beautiful face quietly came to the door of the palace, lying on the door frame and quietly looking into the palace. The girl has a beautiful face, a beautiful and handsome face, a soft and delicate face, and graceful lines. Shui Ling's eyes sparkled with endless brightness. Her eyebrows are slightly raised, and the picturesque lines outline her dignity and beauty. Her skin is as white as snow, smooth and delicate.
Her lips are red and full, and the curve of her smile outlines elegance and warmth. Her nose is straight and delicate, perfectly coordinated with her face. The entire face is well-proportioned, giving people an excellent sense of beauty. She has a slim figure, her slender figure shows elegance and charm, and her curves are smooth and charming. Her figure is tall and elegant, exuding a bright and youthful atmosphere from the inside out. Her beauty is fascinating.
Her appearance and figure are perfectly combined, giving people a perfect visual enjoyment. She is like the most beautiful flower in nature, attracting everyone's attention.
Who else could it be if it wasn't Lu Linxuan?
At this moment, she was still dressed in the same outfit as when she first came out of the sword hut, showing off her heroine style, quietly watching the movements in the palace.
Seeing that the Mirror Heart Demon was the only one in the hall, Lu Linxuan slowly walked into the hall.
Mirror Heart Demon keenly sensed Lu Linxuan's arrival.
Although the Mirror Heart Demon's martial arts skills were not high, Lu Linxuan did not hide his steps, so it was not difficult to detect Lu Linxuan's whereabouts.
"Jing Xin Mo has met... Miss Lu." When he saw Lu Linxuan coming, Jing Xin Mo quickly stood up, looked at Lu Linxuan in front of him, bowed his hands respectfully, and said.
"It's Master Jing." Lu Linxuan looked at the Mirror Heart Demon in front of him and said.
"I don't dare to take the word "sir" seriously." Hearing this, the Mirror Heart Demon waved his hands repeatedly and said.
"Where is my senior brother?" Lu Linxuan looked left and right, but did not see Li Xingyun.
The empress was busy with the expedition. Even though Li Cunli had planned everything, Po Meng had also arranged everything in Daliang. As soon as the troops and horses moved, all the random problems were not simple problems.
Therefore, the empress has been very busy since coming to court.
Lu Linxuan has a restless temper, and she is going to ask her senior brother if there is anything he needs her help with.
"The Emperor has left the palace." Hearing this, the Mirror Heart Demon opened his mouth to reply.
"My senior brother left the palace? Where did he go? When will he come back?" Lu Linxuan looked at the Mirror Heart Demon in front of him and asked.
"The emperor is here to retrieve the treasure of Longquan. Only the emperor knows where the dragon spring is located and does not know the itinerary.
The villain has no way of inferring exactly when the emperor will return. "The Mirror Heart Demon looked at Lu Linxuan in front of him and said respectfully.
"Oh, that's it." Lu Linxuan looked at the Mirror Heart Demon in front of him and murmured to himself.
At this time, Lu Linxuan keenly sensed an aura approaching.
"Huh?" Lu Linxuan turned around and looked at the place where the breath came.
She was a girl in purple clothes, cute and cute, with white and tender skin, long purple hair, wearing a silver headdress of a Miao saint, purple pupils, a little red between her lower lips, mainly pink and purple clothes, and a Miao silver necklace. Necklace, two gourds around her waist, a flute, bare feet wearing sandals, and a slim figure.
Lu Linxuan's face was filled with shock.
"Dare I ask this girl, who is she?" Lu Linxuan looked at Chi Meng in front of him and asked tentatively.
Chi Meng came here for no other purpose than to take a look at the heroic young emperor.
"I'm Chi Meng, who are you, young lady?" Chi Meng looked at Lu Linxuan in front of him and said.
"My name is Lu Linxuan, hello." The big-hearted Lu Linxuan didn't notice anything that made her feel wrong yet. She looked at Chi Meng in front of her and said.
"This girl Chi Meng is the daughter of Chi Li, the Tianshang Star, one of the Thirty-six Protector Generals of the Bad Man Tiangang." Behind Lu Linxuan, the Mirror Heart Demon seemed to sense that something was wrong, but it seemed that there was nothing wrong. No, he looked at Lu Linxuan in front of him and explained anxiously.
"Oh...huh?!" Lu Linxuan nodded and looked at Chi Meng in front of him.
'Bad person, does that mean she is the daughter of Senior Brother's minister?
Why did Senior Brother's ministers send his daughter to the palace? '
As soon as the inner demon was hidden, Lu Linxuan keenly noticed something was wrong.
…
Wu State.
Jinling Mansion.
Prime Minister's Office.
Fake Li, Zhu Youwen, and Meng Zhixiang used their internal strength to run and break their legs, and finally arrived in the Kingdom of Wu.
The journey was dusty and extremely difficult, but the three people still made it.
Meng Zhixiang took a few steps forward and knocked on the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
There was no response for a long time, and not long after, Meng Zhixiang knocked on the door again.
"Who is it! What are you doing!" A rough voice sounded from inside the door of the mansion. The little official with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks pushed open the door of the mansion, looked at the people outside the door with disdain, and said.
This person is the disciple of Xu Wen's mansion.
"Excuse me, your Excellency, Meng Zhixiang, the envoy of the State of Jin, is here to visit Prime Minister Xu." Meng Zhixiang looked at the little official in front of him. Although he was humiliated, he did not look at him in general, but looked at him with good words. The clerk opened his mouth and said.
"What kind of envoys from the Jin State? The Jin State is damn dead. Li Keyong, Li Cunxu and his son are all dead. Where did the Jin State come from!?
Gungungun, if you want to beg, go somewhere else, don’t bother me here! "Hearing this, the disciple sneered and scolded sternly.
Then, he closed the door casually and gave Meng Zhixiang a big mouthful of rejection.
Meng Zhixiang stood there and reacted for a long time, trembling with anger, his face was livid, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
The general has a sword, but if he doesn't kill the ants, then the ants have to open their own eyes!
"Mr. Meng." Behind Meng Zhixiang, Li Li opened his mouth to stop Meng Zhixiang's idea of killing people.
"Huh?" Meng Zhixiang turned to look at Fake Li, a little confused.
'You used to kill people, but you were the most diligent in pretending to be silly. Why did you not kill someone when you met someone who deserved to be killed? 'Meng Zhixiang secretly thought in his heart.
This is why Meng Zhixiang doesn't understand fake Li. If the disciples taught by Yuan Tiangang are not successful, how can they not dare to kill them?
"Master Meng, please be patient.
What does it mean to kill a disciple? "Fake Li looked at Meng Zhixiang and said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Meng Zhixiang was really unsure after hearing what he said.
"Xu Xiang has turned away visitors, so why should we stay here and not leave?
Find another place. "Fake Li said.
"Where?" Zhu Youwen had already noticed the signs of blood flowing into the river. He looked at the fake Li and asked.
"Jiejie..."
