Zhang Beichen had been busy all night, and when he woke up the next day, he smelled a stench.
"What's going on?" Zhang Beichen asked around.
Ada said with an angry face: "Sir, last night, some young people threw excrement at the gate of the county government office, causing the stench to rise to the sky. We are cleaning it up."
Zhang Beichen checked and found that in addition to throwing excrement on the door, two big words were written in chicken blood: "Let them go!"
"They are demonstrating." Hu Cheng looked at Zhang Beichen. So far, he had not found any special talents in Zhang Beichen.
Then why did your Majesty entrust him with such an important task in the first place?
Zhang Beichen knew that if he didn't come up with something, the other party would definitely go further.
He then said to Ada and others: "You go to the Bai family and the Yang family to deliver a letter each for me."
With that said, Zhang Beichen wrote two letters.
Liu Wen asked curiously: "Sir, what are you going to do?"
Zhang Beichen smiled slightly and said, "Please invite the heads of the two families to observe the Dharma."
"Observation of Dharma?"
"Yes!" Zhang Beichen narrowed his eyes slightly, "There are still several death row prisoners in the prison. In three days, they will be questioned directly!"
"Ah!" Liu Wen was startled when he heard this and quickly persuaded: "Sir, if you do this, I'm afraid you will cause a big trouble!"
"What are you afraid of? I'm here!" Zhang Beichen scolded.
Liu Wen didn't dare to refute, but he was extremely afraid in his heart.
"It's over, this trusting county magistrate is really a fool. Not only did he want to kill the members of the Baiyang family, but he also invited their family head to come and see! Isn't this a slap in the face? If the two families can't help it, they will I accidentally beat the county magistrate to death..." Liu Wen looked bitter, "If I had known, I should have resigned and run away!"
…
"If you want to execute prisoners, it will inevitably cause turmoil." Hu Cheng reminded Zhang Beichen.
Zhang Beichen nodded and said: "I know, so I want to ask Uncle Hu to help me take care of things when the time comes."
Hu Cheng emphasized: "I obey your orders and only ensure your safety. But I won't care what you want to do or how you do it."
"That's enough." Zhang Beichen already had an idea in his mind.
"Uncle Hu, I still have something to ask you. It's a matter of spiritual practice." Zhang Beichen also wanted to confirm whether his idea was feasible.
"It's okay to ask questions about cultivation matters." Hu Cheng was not stingy and said, "It's just that I practice military and martial arts, and I'm not proficient in other methods."
In this world, hundreds of schools of thought can practice Buddhism, and their methods are all different.
Zhang Beichen is currently a Legalist, relying on legislation and law enforcement to practice.
"Then first tell me about the realm and general methods of cultivation." Zhang Beichen asked.
Hu Cheng nodded and introduced: "Generally speaking, cultivation is divided into nine realms. From one realm to nine realms, each realm is divided into elementary, middle, high and peak."
"The first realm is the realm of entering the Tao, that is, choosing one or several Tao and starting to practice. Usually it is a single Tao, and some will practice two Tao. For example, I practice martial arts and military strategists, martial arts to strengthen the body, and military strategists. Make strategic plans. After entering the Tao, a whirlpool of spiritual energy will condense in the body, and the body will have a stronger body and lifespan than ordinary people, such as Taoists, and will also have spiritual consciousness."
"The second realm is the Taoist realm, where the cyclone in the body turns into liquid, making it stronger. The third realm is the Tao Seed realm, where the spiritual liquid in the body condenses into a Tao Seed. These three realms are called the lower three realms. Above, it means the middle three realms and the upper three realms, which are more powerful."
Zhang Beichen quickly asked: "The ninth level is the strongest?"
"No." Hu Cheng shook his head, "Above the nine realms, there is the semi-saint realm, and above the semi-saint, there is the saint realm. When you reach the saint realm, you can almost speak Dharma, just like a god."
"There are many legends of saints among the Seven Kingdoms, but almost no saints are walking in the world. They are probably all hidden from the world."
"It's amazing!" Zhang Beichen couldn't help but be curious, "Uncle Hu, what level have you reached?"
Hu Cheng did not finish his sentence and said: "Ten years ago, when I was serving in the army, it was the early stage of the seventh realm."
"Up to the third realm!" Upon hearing this, Zhang Beichen thought it was safe. With Hu Cheng here, no one in Baiyang County should be able to hurt him, and he can do things boldly with confidence.
"Ying Yiren is actually willing to send a master from the upper three realms to protect me. She must know me!" Zhang Beichen is already sure that Ying Yiren knows him. Nine times out of ten, Ying Yiren has also participated in the simulation!
"I just said, I felt something was wrong in the game." Zhang Beichen recalled that Ying Yiren in the game was very "intelligent", sometimes willful, sometimes short-tempered, and would learn lessons and change strategies.
Now it seems that that is Ying Yiren herself!
…
At this moment, in the palace of King Qin.
Ying Yiren was wearing formal clothes and looked serious, asking the people below.
"Jing Ping, how did you go about the things you were asked to do?"
Jing Ping cupped his hands and said, "I have followed your Majesty's instructions and sent gifts to the prime minister of Wei and dignitaries from various countries. They promised that they will not send troops to attack Qin within a year."
"Very good, now Qin has a chance to breathe again." Ying Yiren nodded slightly. After the simulation, she would naturally not send troops rashly.
Even in order to prevent the siege of the six countries, she started operations in advance to nip hidden dangers in the bud.
"Uncle, I'd like to trouble you over there in Longxi." Ying Yiren looked at a dark-faced man in the audience.
That's Ying Yiren's uncle, Ying Meng.
Yingmeng was the general of the Qin State. He had a high level of force, but his strategy was lacking. Because of this, Ying Yi inherited the throne instead of Ying Meng.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. With me in charge of Longxi, the Rongdi tribe will definitely not dare to cause chaos!" Yingmeng said confidently, "I will set off today to lead my troops and take charge in Longxi!"
After arranging these, Ying Yiren breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, the hidden dangers of the six-nation siege and Longxi rebellion that Qin might have faced in the first year were directly eliminated.
The next step is to buy time and make changes to strengthen ourselves.
And all of this depends on Zhang Beichen's actions.
After everyone dispersed, Ying Yiren asked Jingping, "How is the situation in Baiyang County?"
"Zhang Beichen has just taken office." Jing Ping replied, "I heard that he rejected the invitation of the Baiyang family and invited the heads of the two families to watch his execution! The heads of the two families are very dissatisfied with this and are afraid that there will be unrest."
Hearing this, a trace of worry appeared in Ying Yiren's eyes. In the simulation, Zhang Beichen has a character that refuses to admit defeat. What if there is a conflict and he is injured?
Isn't it a good idea to arrange such a difficult task for him from the beginning?
She hesitated in her heart, but then thought of Hu Cheng being by Zhang Beichen's side. I thought to myself that with Uncle Hu here, Zhang Beichen's safety would not be a problem.
Jing Ping thought to himself, this Beichen had some shitty luck to be valued by the king. But the current approach is obviously stupid. Local forces are intertwined, and if you directly confront them head-on, you are afraid that an egg will hit a rock.
So, he asked: "Your Majesty, do you want me to go to Baiyang County to take charge?"
"No need." Ying Yiren said, "Let Zhang Beichen handle the matters there."
She silently muttered in her mind: "Zhang Beichen, let's wait and see. I hope you really have the talent in the simulation!"
