"Thank you, Fu, you are really good at speaking. It's very pleasant to listen to, and you don't even hear the slightest hint of flattery."
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."
"Thank you, Fu, do you know why I appointed you as the special envoy and gave you such great power?"
"I don't know, your Majesty, please make it clear."
"I said it was a lucky draw at the palace banquet that night. In fact, I had thought about it a long time ago. I am not so stupid as to treat national affairs as a piece of cake."
"Your Majesty, please make it clear."
"Although I am the emperor, I am not the real emperor. The Penglai Immortal Sect has suppressed my Qin family for two hundred years. I have long wanted to push down this sacred mountain that is pressing on my head."
When Xie Fu heard this, he was secretly frightened. Wasn't the Penglai Immortal Sect always facing the Qin family? It was precisely because of the Penglai Immortal Sect's support that the three sects of Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, and the various famous sects and martial arts forces could stay in peace.
If the emperor wants to knock down the sacred mountain of Penglai Immortal Gate, isn't he just shooting himself in the foot? Maybe the emperor wants to be number one in the world and not be held hostage by the Penglai Immortal Sect at all...
The emperor seemed to know what Xie Fu was thinking: "You don't believe that I have this great talent and strategy."
"Wei Chen doesn't dare."
"Nothing can be placed on the Emperor's head, not even the Penglai Immortal Sect. Thank you, Fu. I will tell you my secrets of many years. You are now mine."
This is indeed an unexpected secret. Absolutely no one thought that the emperor wanted to overthrow his patronage. The emperor was either stupid or really talented and wanted to be the only one in the world.
"Your Majesty, what should I do with my humble minister?"
"The imperial court has the Royal Shenwu Pavilion, and I have worked hard to develop the Shenwu Pavilion over the years to check and balance the world's martial arts. However, Lin Dingbo, Li Jingtang, and Yu Chenshan made me understand the gap between the Shenwu Pavilion and the world's martial arts. Even the disintegrated Nestorianism of the Great Qin Dynasty If we can't deal with them, how can we compete with the Penglai Immortal Sect, which is at its peak and has stood firm for thousands of years, so I have to change my thinking."
"Martial arts affairs need to be handled by martial arts practitioners. Thank you, Master. I want to use your divine martial arts to help me stabilize the martial arts in the world. Everyone will submit and become my ministers."
Xie Fu was secretly shocked in his heart. Such a huge ambition, this is even more difficult than conquering the world. He immediately responded: "Your Majesty, the Penglai Immortal Gate has stood for thousands of years. I am afraid that I am powerless."
"Don't worry, I'm not asking you to destroy the Penglai Immortal Sect. I'm just asking you to help me change the situation and make the Penglai Immortal Sect serve as a subordinate rather than a superior to the king."
"I hope your Majesty will give you advice on what to do."
"Penglai Immortal Sect needs a big defeat, step down from the altar and become a mortal. When the time comes, I will give you the emperor's favor again."
Xie Fu pondered, feeling that things were a bit complicated, so complicated that he could not deduce the subsequent changes in the pattern for a while.
"I have given you the power to supervise the lawless affairs of the state capitals, nobles, and court officials in the world. You can kill them first and report them later. I don't really want you to spend your energy on supervising the officials, but so that you can have no scruples."
Xie Fu was silent, he didn't want to do these things, but as a minister, it is the duty of a minister to share the worries of the king, so he was in a dilemma for a while.
The emperor suddenly took out a memorial: "This is a memorial from Zhu Sheng, the Minister of Household Affairs. Take a look."
Xie Fu took it and took a look. In the memorial, Zhu Shengcan, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, told the governments in Jiangnan to keep the tax money in the treasury and not turn it over to the Ministry of Revenue.
After Xie Fu read it, he said: "My minister is in the court today and was about to report this matter to His Majesty."
The emperor said calmly: "This memorial has been sitting in my imperial study room for some days."
Xie Fu immediately understood that the emperor meant favoritism and responded: "Your Majesty, I am only exercising the rights of a military governor."
The emperor said meaningfully: "Thank you, Fu, Jiangnan is different from the Longxi frontier. You can't do this."
When the conversation came to this point, Xie Fu simply pretended to be stupid and said: "Why not? Your Majesty has given me power, and I should do my best to strengthen the soldiers of one side and ensure the prosperity of the other side."
The emperor turned his head and glanced at Xie Fu. Xie Fu opened the skylight and spoke frankly: "If your majesty is worried that I will support my troops and respect myself, there are more than one military governor in this world. Moreover, the government troops in the Jiangnan area are all at different guard rates. There is no one." The branch is my army, and what I do is also to raise and strengthen the army for the country."
The emperor smiled: "Thank you, Fu, you don't have to be excited. I understand that you have a heart for the country and the people, and I trust you more."
Xie Fu was surprised that he believed me so easily.
The emperor said calmly: "From Wuxi pretending to be a county magistrate to conquer a plague to asking for orders for the people in Weizhou and gambling with the prince of eastern Henan, I have a deep understanding of your heart for the country and the people."
Xie Fu was surprised that the emperor had found out all about him. It was not surprising that the emperor knew about his bet with the prince of East Henan in Weizhou, but even the secret things such as his pretending to be the county magistrate in Wuxi, the emperor was not surprised. Know.
The emperor said calmly: "Xie Fu, I have noticed you since you defeated all the famous princes in Jinling. Your loyalty, talent and virtuousness are comparable to those of your ancestor Xie Gongyi."
Since the emperor knew his details, Xie Fu didn't need to defend himself. He had nothing to be ashamed of and stood upright.
"Jiangnan is the important tax-paying area of Daguan Kingdom. As soon as your tax money is deducted, my treasury will be empty."
"His Majesty……"
Xie Fu was about to explain, but was interrupted by the emperor: "Listen to me first. I can give you three years of autonomy. During these three years, all taxes in the areas under your jurisdiction will be coordinated by you. As for the issue of treasury vacancies, I will think about it myself. Find a solution."
Xie Fu had no idea that Emperor Jing would help him solve the problem, and for a moment he couldn't see through the old man in front of him.
The emperor patted Xie Fu's shoulder with his palm, and said like a sincere old man: "I help you, and you must also help me."
This is more like a transaction between the emperor and his ministers, each has his own agenda and seeks benefits.
The most important thing for those who plan for great things is the pattern. If this is the case, then let Penglai Xianmen become a victim. He has long seen that Penglai Xianmen is not pleasing to his eyes. All living beings are equal. Why do you, Penglai Xianmen, hold the high position of god? Whoever controls the world will be decided by your family.
If it were him, he wouldn't be happy. The world has its own rules, and it's not dominated by your Penglai Immortal Sect.
"good!"
A clear word "good" made the emperor smile.
"Thank you, have you seen Salai Yi?"
"who?"
"In charge of astronomy and geography, Master Sa Tianshi is the supervisor of the Qintian Prison."
"he!"
Fu Xie had met this person once, and was given a small self-atonement seal by him. It can be said that this person is the most powerful person he has ever encountered in his life, firmly ranked above the Nine Directions Long Whale, one of the six saints of the Tao Sect.
Perhaps only Dongji Zhenren, who took his sword with his bare hands, could match him.
The emperor said: "He is the person who guards the Emperor of Penglai Immortal Sect. From the day I was born, he has been the supervisor of Qintian Prison. Even I don't know how old he is."
Xie Fu responded: "He is very powerful."
The emperor smiled and said: "Of course, even Qinghua Immortal may not be able to defeat him."
Fu Xie was not surprised. It was obvious that Salai Yi had entered Taoism and asked: "Where is Yun Ruoshui of Penglai Immortal Sect?"
"Master Sa Tian is at least Yun Ruoshui's uncle, or even his ancestor."
Xie Fu exclaimed, Yun Ruoshui was already a Taoist immortal, what kind of immortal figure was his uncle and ancestor.
The emperor smiled at me and said, "But it's not impossible to defeat him. At least I know one person who has the qualifications to rival him."
"who?"
"Duanyue Qinghui King of Nestorian Cult of Great Qin!"
Xie Fu was secretly frightened and had many thoughts: Could it be that the emperor already knew about his relationship with Chuyue, so he wanted to use his relationship with Chuyue to let Chuyue deal with Salaiyi.
The emperor then said: "I think even Salai Yi may not be able to fight against the three great Taoist masters Yun Ruoshui, Duanmu Ci, and Feng Tianbai without dying. This person who is outside the world may not be able to do it even after thousands of years." Come up with one.”
Regardless of whether the emperor knew about his relationship with Chuyue or not, there were some things that Fu Xie had to make clear: "Since your majesty mentioned King Duanyue Qinghui, you should know that King Duanyue Qinghui was struck by the thunder punishment seal, the self-redemption seal, Yue Yin died in the seal, and it was a fluke that he survived. It will never be as powerful as before."
The emperor sighed: "What a pity..."
These three words mean a lot.
Xie Fu took the opportunity and said: "Your Majesty, I promised the Nestorian Church of Great Qin to rectify the name of the Nestorian Church of Great Qin at Yuchen Mountain. This was also the key to resolving the dispute that day."
"You ask me how to rectify the name of Nestorianism in Great Qin. I promise you that as long as you can help me push the Penglai Immortal Sect off the altar, I will make Nestorianism in Great Qin a national-protecting religious sect."
Xie Fu stopped talking. To get the corresponding things, you have to pay the corresponding sweat and blood. This is fair.
"Thank you, Fu. I know that you are very close to Chu Cheng and Chu Zhen. Today's conversation is a secret between you and me. You are not allowed to mention it to a third person."
"I accept the decree!"
Xie Fu thought about leaving all the way. The emperor was not as amiable as he imagined. On the contrary, he could feel the emperor's secretiveness. The Penglai Immortal Sect was obviously the protector of the Qin family of the emperor, but the emperor wanted to overthrow it. .
What kind of courage is this? If Penglai Immortal Sect is not in charge, how can the Qin family in the world suppress and balance the martial arts in the world, or the Shenwu Pavilion? Clearly not qualified.
Do you rely on him to thank you? But that’s how much you can trust yourself.
The most reliable thing is to rely on oneself, but Xie Fu really can't figure out what martial arts capital the emperor has.
This is what he was puzzled about. He smiled and said, "If you want me, I will be the emperor with peace of mind. If anything happens, the Penglai Immortal Sect will come forward to solve it, okay?"
Unknowingly, when he arrived outside the palace gate, Qin Chucheng had prepared a carriage and was waiting for him, along with Cui Sanfei.
"Brother." Cui Sanfei called enthusiastically.
Qin Chucheng also walked over with a smile: "Thank you, Fu, what did my father talk to you about?"
"I'm talking to His Majesty about rectifying the name of Nestorianism in the Qin Dynasty."
"How is the result?"
Xie Fu shook his head, and Qin Chucheng smiled and said: "I have told you a long time ago that it is not that simple. Even if my father wants to agree, there are still people who refuse."
Xie Fu was shocked when he heard this. As an emperor, he had to look at other people's eyes to do whatever he wanted to do. Perhaps this was the reason why the emperor wanted to be the only one he could think of.
Qin Chucheng saw that Fu Xie looked different and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xie Fu smiled bitterly: "No."
"Come on, the banquet has been prepared for you."
