Jun Wuxie was walking on Xicheng Street, feeling very depressed.
The old man was a loyal man. His son and grandson were both killed in the war, but he was not assigned a spiritual field and had to work long-term for the gentry and local tycoons to make a living.
Aren’t the families of the fallen soldiers taken care of by the imperial court?
What about those pensions and subsequent alimony?
"Your Majesty, you really disappoint me. Maybe you have the intention to be a good monarch, but you are far from capable. No wonder Dazhou was coerced by several famous families back then."
Jun Wuxie knew very well that a situation like that of that old man was by no means a special case.
This can be seen just by looking at how arrogant the yamen servants are.
How many people and officials, big and small, are involved?
…
Today's Dazhou is really too arrogant and extravagant.
The streets are full of entertainment and entertainment.
There are even many new squares built with high platforms on which many young men and women are swinging and dressed up.
Women are charming.
The man is also delicate and beautiful, his face is painted with white powder, his eyes are painted with black lines, his lips are painted with red lips, he is winking and talking coquettishly.
Who says that masculinity is attractive, but a feminine man is also beautiful!
These are the banners and slogans hanging on the performance stage. The huge fonts are very eye-catching.
Jun Wuxie narrowed his eyes slightly and watched quietly for a moment.
Under the stage, the entire square was crowded with people, mostly teenage children and middle-aged women watching. They kept screaming and shouting, and their faces were flushed with excitement. The scene was hot and crazy.
He knew that this should be what Ling Fei said before, that wealthy foreign businessmen invested here in the entertainment industry.
"Very good, you actually want to use this method to weaken the bloody nature of the young generation of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Let me guess which forces are behind this? The Holy Sect? The Tianjian Sect? The Tianjing Sect? What others are there?"
Jun Wuxie sneered in his heart, it seemed extremely ridiculous to engage in such methods in the country he ruled.
He is not like the kings of ordinary countries who have to consider this and that in everything they do.
Playing tricks is seeking death!
He walked all the way out of Xicheng and came to the suburbs of Xicheng, where a new town was built, which was very lively and prosperous.
There are more than ten streets in the town, and there is an endless stream of people.
When he came to this town, a surge of angry blood rushed to his head!
Not far from this town is the martyr cemetery of tens of millions of Zhou men who died when they resisted Xilin's defense of the capital.
The architectural style of this newly built town is completely different from that of Dazhou. The streets are full of statues of the Xilin Army, and there is even a Xilin Ordnance Memorial Hall.
In addition to these, there are also shops that rent and sell Xilin military uniforms. There are people wearing Xilin battle armor and holding Xilin war spears. They stand with the statue of Xilin army. Next to them, there are people recording the scene with rune memory stones.
Fierce yelling came from the front.
A group of people were smashing up the shop there, and soon a group of thugs rushed out of the shop, beating each other to a bloody pulp.
"You bastards! How long has it been since Xilin massacred my people in the Zhou Dynasty? I, the Zhou Dynasty, were almost exterminated. How many people died? Those teenage children, whose bodies are too thin to wear armor, went into battle wearing civilian clothes to kill the enemy. , Lord God fought bloody battles with Xilin’s army for six days and six nights, and almost died of exhaustion outside the city, only to save me, Da Zhou!”
"Now, you people have forgotten everything, your hatred and shame, and you have come here to wear Xilin armor and learn Xilin culture. You are despicable!"
"What does what we do have to do with you? What's wrong with us wearing Xilin armor?"
"That's right, what's wrong with me wearing Xilin women's clothes? We like it! You have to learn good things. Seeing how you overreacted is a sign of inferiority. It seems that although Xilin has been destroyed, there are still some people in our Zhou Dynasty They have low self-esteem deep in their bones and dare not recognize other people’s excellent culture.”
"That's right. Although Xilin was once our enemy, Xilin must be so strong because he must have many excellent things, such as culture. Is it so difficult to admit that others are excellent?"
"Look at these small Xilin-style stone bungalows. They have a strong sense of historical heritage at first glance. We in Dazhou cannot compare with others in this regard. We still need to be open-minded and learn more."
"Fart! We had many houses like this before Zhou Dynasty, but later they were all abandoned!"
"Still stubborn, other people's bungalows have historical heritage, but our bungalow lacks a sense of heritage and history. It has the feeling of being a backward, ignorant, old hater. Can it be the same?"
"We should look at the problem from a rational, objective and neutral attitude, without mixing national sentiments. Let's talk about Xilin. At the beginning, it was just a war between countries. If we talk about the people of Xilin, they are pretty good."
"It's ridiculous! Xilin people are so violent, and many Xilin men beat their wives. Is this what you call a good culture?"
A woman curled her lips and said: "You don't understand at all! Are Xilin men beating their wives? They are massaging their wives, but the intensity is a little stronger. But if someone can massage their wives, it shows that Xilin men know how to be romantic. Our men in Dazhou are different. It is not uncommon for men in Dazhou to beat their wives, and it is all domestic violence, which is illegal!"
"Although we, Dazhou, are getting better now, we cannot be blindly arrogant and must continue to learn from the excellence of others."
"We can't just say we are good for ourselves, this society should allow different voices to exist!"
"What it says is that we should be broad-minded and tolerant of other people's cultures. A country needs multiculturalism, you know?"
"You angry young people should learn to look at problems rationally and it is good for you to think independently."
"Hey, in a word, is it really that difficult to admit that others are good?"
…
Naturally, those people couldn't stand up to the tourists who were ten times their size, and they were so angry that they almost vomited blood on the spot.
Jun Wuxie's eyes were cold and he continued to walk forward.
Crossing a street, screams and laughter could be heard ahead.
It was a group of tourists who were role-playing in Xilin armor. At this moment, they were chasing the Da Zhou woman who was also playing the same role, with a lewd smile on her face.
He couldn't stand it anymore and quickly left this Xilin-style town.
Not long after, he appeared in the military camp on the outskirts of Xicheng.
The commander here immediately led people to greet him.
"Welcome to the Lord!"
"Get up!" Jun Wuxie looked at them and said, "Do you know about that Xilin style town?"
"Know……"
The generals lowered their heads.
"Why don't you report this to the police?"
"Your Majesty!" The generals' eyes were red and they said excitedly: "We have reported this matter many times, but there has been no news. His Majesty is busy with political affairs, so he may not have seen our memorial at all! There are high-ranking officials in the court who control the channels for the memorial. The water here is too deep!”
"Now, I give you a few tasks. Send people in disguise to enter the city and secretly investigate various issues such as collusion between officials and businessmen, corruption and perversion of the law. They must be quick, covert, and precise. Once the evidence is obtained, seize it immediately!"
"As for that Xilin style town, you will temporarily send people to keep an eye on it. Anyone who enters this town and wears Xilin military uniforms or other Xilin clothing, or promotes Xilin culture or belittles me, Dazhou, will be captured immediately after they come out. !”
"Yes!" the commander asked, "What should we do after we capture it? Kill it on the spot?"
"That's not necessary. After taking it, register it in the register, drive it out of the city, and then report it to the Ministry of Household Affairs to cancel the Dazhou household registration. You will never be able to set foot in Dazhou!"
"Yes! I will do it immediately!"
"Send those officials who have violated the law to the execution ground in Zhongdu. Also, apart from the normal singing and dancing in the past, I don't want to see anything else in the entertainment industry in Dazhou. You secretly find out all the businessmen involved in the new entertainment, and start from They asked who was behind the scenes, and within three days, they will disappear from the world!"
"Got it!" The commander hesitated slightly and said, "Your Majesty, for such a big move, if someone slanders you in front of Your Majesty, and Your Majesty doesn't know the situation, what should I do if he is punished?"
"Your Majesty?" Jun Wuxie said calmly: "Who do you think is the real controller of Great Zhou?"
The commander was startled when he heard this, and then he laughed: "Jun Shen, I can rest assured now and promise to complete the mission! In just a few short months, even this kind of smoky atmosphere should be rectified with iron and blood methods, otherwise we will not be able to fight Tens of millions of soldiers died..."
The commander and other generals looked in the direction of the Martyrs Cemetery, their eyes red.
…
Next, Jun Wuxie didn't go shopping in the north or south city, and expected the situation to be similar.
He went directly to the military camps outside Nancheng and Beicheng and gave the same order to the generals there.
An iron-blooded storm quietly swept through the entire capital.
It was already afternoon when all these arrangements were completed.
Jun Wuxie appeared in a certain area of Zhongdu.
There is a mountain range here with canyons in the mountains. The scenery is very beautiful, with waterfalls, clear springs, and birds singing and flowers fragrant.
The canyon is very large, with many pavilions and courtyards built of green polygonatum.
"Master Jun is here?"
The powerful man from the Xuanyuan clan came forward and said very politely: "Young master, please come in. I will inform the great elder and others right away."
Not long after, nine old men from the Xuanyuan clan and a middle-aged man with a gentle face came out together.
The great elder said as he walked over: "Wuxie, you are finally back. Since you moved here, you haven't been to my Xuanyuan clan yet."
"It sounds like I have been to your previous clan." Jun Wuxie smiled and looked at the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man immediately introduced himself with a smile: "I am the patriarch of the Xuanyuan clan, Xuanyuan Zhudao."
He pointed to the other eight elders and said: "These are the eight elders of my Xuanyuan clan. This is the second elder...this is the third elder..."
Jun Wuxie nodded and greeted them one by one, remembering them.
"Let's go sit down in our presbytery and talk."
The First Elder and Xuanyuan Zhudao led the way with a smile, Jun Wuxie followed behind them, and the other eight elders walked at the end.
As for the two peak sects who greeted him just now, they did not follow.
When elders and clan leaders entertain guests, they are not qualified to accompany them.
The Elder's Courtyard is actually a relatively large courtyard built with green jade bamboo. There are nine houses in total, and there are exactly nine elders.
The small courtyard is very simple, but very unique. There is an old locust tree planted in the courtyard, which must have been transplanted.
There is a waterfall behind the courtyard, and the clear spring flows through the middle of the courtyard. The scenery is beautiful.
The great elder brewed the tea himself, and the aroma was lingering, which made people feel refreshed.
Xuanyuan Zhudao teased: "First Elder, I ask you for some of this Qingshen Tea on weekdays and you hold it tighter than anything else, but today you are so generous. It seems that we have the blessing of little friend Wu Xie."
The other eight elders all laughed.
Jun Wuxie looked at them with a smile. Chief Xuanyuan was telling him that their Xuanyuan clan valued him.
"Wuxie, you came to us this time for something important, right?"
The great elder said while making tea.
"It's true."
Jun Wuxie secretly observed the eight elders and clan leader.
I couldn't help but feel slightly surprised.
The Xuanyuan clan is worthy of being the clan inherited from Emperor Xuanyuan.
The nine elders are all semi-saints, and the true energy in the patriarch Xuanyuan Zhudao's body is as strong as that of the great elder!
Jun Wuxie had long seen that the great elder's cultivation was definitely top-notch even among the semi-saints, and he was definitely not the kind of person who had just entered the semi-saint realm.
Xuanyuan Zhudao smiled and said, "Little friend, if you have anything to say, just say it. As long as our Xuanyuan clan can help, we will not delay it."
"Then let me get straight to the point. I have three things that I need your help with."
"Little friend, just tell me what it is."
Jun Wuxie thought for a while and said: "The first thing is, I need your Xuanyuan clan to send someone to secretly investigate the senior officials of the capital to see who has violated the law!"
"This is simple."
Xuanyuan Zhudao nodded and agreed.
"The second thing is that many high-ranking officials in the DPRK and the Central Government will probably not be able to escape the sanctions. There will definitely be vacancies in important positions, but the affairs need to be dealt with. I hope that your Xuanyuan clan can send people to fill the vacancies and hold important positions in the DPRK."
"this……"
Xuanyuan Zhudao fell silent, looking embarrassed.
The other eight elders also looked embarrassed.
Only the great elder thought for a moment and said: "Since our clan has come out of the mountain, and Master Shenjian asked us to fully cooperate with Wu Xie, we should not worry about anything else. Clan leader, what do you think?"
Xuanyuan Zhudao sighed when he heard this, and finally nodded.
"This puts me at ease." Jun Wuxie also breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise he would have wasted a lot of words. Then he thought for a moment and said, "Does your Xuanyuan clan have enough people?"
The First Elder was startled and said with a smile: "How many people are needed for high-ranking officials in the court? Our Xuanyuan clan has more than 5,000 clan members and more than 4,000 adult clan members. Since we are descendants of the great emperor, we are proficient in all things civilized, Taoist and military."
"It doesn't require that many, just some major positions. I think there are only about a hundred positions."
"The third thing, little friend, please tell me."
"The third thing..." Jun Wuxie looked at the eight elders and said, "I would like to ask two of you elders to quietly go to Beiyuan and sneak into Bingyun Tower secretly."
"Sneak into Bingyun Tower?"
The great elder and others were stunned.
"That's right. Sneak into Bingyun Tower and tell the top management of Bingyun Tower that if their sect faces destruction, we can save a few of them and pass on the spark of Bingyun Tower, leaving a trace of their bloodline."
The nine elders and Xuanyuan Zhudao looked at each other, and then looked thoughtful, both wondering what Jun Wuxie's purpose was.
"Wuxie, what exactly do you want to do? You might as well tell us directly and don't let us guess."
The great elder felt that he seemed to be planning something.
Jun Wuxie immediately told the situation that Bingyun Tower was facing.
After waiting for the great elder and others to understand the situation, he continued: "As the deadline given by those forces gets closer and closer, the people in Bingyun Tower will become more and more anxious. If a half-saint appears at this time, they will definitely Ask for help, but you can't directly help them defend themselves against powerful enemies. My purpose is just to give them a chance to ask for help."
"Although they definitely have some Half-Saints, they are probably just people who have just entered the Half-Saint realm, and are not the opponents of those powerful Half-Saints. They can't get out now with their own strength alone, so they need someone to help. "
Xuanyuan Zhudao thought for a while and seemed to understand his intention. He couldn't help but look at him with a strange look and said: "What I mean is to allow their senior officials to have the opportunity to run out and ask for help. What I want to do is to give them a chance to run out and ask for help." Are they asking you for help?"
"Yes, some people in Bingyun Tower are very stubborn. Only under heavy pressure, facing the life and death of the entire sect, and facing the upcoming tragic fate, will they let go of their bodies and the persistence in their hearts. What I want is this kind of effect. "
"Wuxie, if you do this, are you not afraid of Mu Xuelan's anger? Although she has left Bingyun Tower, she was once the owner of Bingyun Tower after all."
"She wants to regain control of Bingyun Tower. I'm just helping her. As for the means, she shouldn't care too much. As long as the result is good, the foundation of Bingyun Tower is not damaged, and no disciple is humiliated, that's all."
"Well, that's true. However, if you just want to regain control of Bingyun Tower, you can just suppress those who oppose her in Bingyun Tower. Why bother to go to such trouble?"
"It's different. Their Dharma is lacking and their path is wrong. In Bingyun Tower, the most prestigious ones are the four guardians. I need them to surrender and let them tell everyone in Bingyun Tower personally that the Dharma is lacking. Only when the road is wrong can the people of Bingyun Tower be willing to accept all this."
"You are such a terrible opponent..."
The Great Elder sighed, and he suddenly realized that Jun Wuxie might have had such a plan in mind when he forced his way into Bingyun Tower.
This young man could calculate the thoughts and actions of certain forces in the world with incomparable accuracy, and watched things develop step by step in the direction he wanted.
Now, when the time is right, he only needs a little guidance, and the entire plan will form a perfect closed loop.
