The heavy snow and wind come late, and the ice flowers know the depth of winter.
Ask for advice and find the way back, but everything is hard to find.
The auspicious snowfall two days ago really brought Lingyuan into the snow-covered winter. Auspicious snow heralds a good year, but no snow will bring misfortune. The ancients were very superstitious about snow coming at the right time and young people coming at the right time. Neighbors talked about it before and after tea, and they all agreed that next year will be a good year!
Things were urgent. That day, after Liu Yi drank with everyone at Wangnan Tower, he changed his planned plan and set off from Lingyuan a day later. Just because he forgot that there was one most important thing, and he wanted to meet the most important person. people to talk to.
Regarding the size of the flat field, Liu Quansheng had given Liu Yi detailed instructions. However, regarding the process of flat field, Liu Quansheng bluntly said to his son Liu Yi that he would not ask too much. If he had to help with everything, he would probably lose Liu Quansheng's original intention of 'training his abilities' that day. This move was also in line with the free and easy-going Liu Yi's thoughts.
However, on the second day, Liu Yi still dragged Liu Quansheng by force and knocked on the door of the county governor's house again. This time, Liu Yi did not hide his whereabouts. He wore the Pingtian seal of the five counties and entered directly through the main entrance.
In the small side room that is four feet long and wide, two birds are facing the sun and drinking wild tea, exuding wisps of fragrance. Before Liu Quansheng and his son handed over their greetings, they should know that they had put on their court clothes to show their solemnity. After thinking about it, they took them off again, only Wearing a plain coat and a printed ribbon, he sat across from the Liu family and his son to have a drink.
Without a few words of conversation, Liu Yi got down to business under the guidance of Liu Quansheng.
Liu Yi stood up and sincerely bowed his hand to Ying Zhi, "Uncle Ying, this young man is just starting out. Before he took office a few days ago, he asked you for help. The first purpose of coming here today is to pay homage to Ying Zhi, who understands the righteousness well. Uncle, I would like to say thank you. Thank you Uncle Ying for your strong support, which helped me get rid of the embarrassing situation of having no soldiers and generals. This great kindness is like Nuwa creating human beings and Pangu creating heaven!"
"Bah!" Ying Zhi reluctantly swallowed the tea in his mouth, and opened his mouth to curse, "You brat, you are so obedient when you get an advantage. Your father, a scholar who reaches the world of things, is not enough? I think you were borrowing someone that day. If you have the opportunity, you have to drag me into trouble! You have more spoiled intestines in your belly than your father. Looking at Ling Yuan, apart from you two, I don’t bother anyone else now! Humph! Hurry up, finish your tea and leave quickly. "
Liu Quansheng and his son looked at each other and smiled in return. Liu Quansheng leaned forward and patted Ying Zhi on the shoulder, "Master Ying, please don't get angry. We are both responsible for the country. Who cares about you and me?"
Liu Yi was very thoughtful and saw that Ying Zhi's tea cup was empty. Liu Yi quickly stood up and poured tea for Ying Zhi. He brought it to Ying Zhi respectfully. Ying Zhi glanced at Liu Yi, picked up the tea and drank it. After taking a breath, he dissipated the anger that he didn't know was real or fake.
You should know that the two of you have something important to discuss here, so you get straight to the point and ask, "What's going on today? Tell me quickly, the new year is just around the corner and I'm very busy."
Liu Yi didn't hide it and said, "Uncle Ying, let's be honest. The next day, I will go straight to Xuanhuai Zhao's house. There is one thing I didn't explain. It is related to the overall situation, so I came to visit you." .”
"Oh? Let me think about it! You and I have already discussed it that day. You will be responsible for pacifying the big families, and I will be responsible for dividing the acquired land equally among the landless people according to the requirements of the "Five Grain Civil Order". That day you and I will return We have made an agreement that if you encounter strong resistance, I will definitely help you. Apart from that, what else can I do for you? Is it possible that you are here to ask for someone again?"
Ying Zhifeng began to murmur, fearing that he would offend the father and son.
"Uncle Ying, there are indeed two things left to do, one public and one private. Public, this time is to level the fields of the five counties. Yi wants to join hands with the governors of the five counties to jointly issue the keynote of leveling the fields of the five counties to deter the unruly people. ." Liu Yi stood up, took a roll of yellow paper from his arms, and handed it to Ying Zhi respectfully and carefully, "Uncle Ying, this book has been drafted by me. Please correct it. If there are no problems, please seal it. Huaxing Great Seal to set the record straight."
"What! You're talking to me for nothing, and you come to me to sign a signature?" After meeting several times, Ying Zhi no longer had the relaxed attitude towards Liu Yi as he looked at a childish person, and he sincerely admired the young Liu Yi's thought and knowledge, and expressed his sincere appreciation for the young Liu Yi's thoughts and knowledge. His little moves and little thoughts are also very guarded and disgusting.
After thinking about it, Ying Zhi took the yellow scroll from Liu Yi's hand and spread it out flat. The five regular script characters of "Five Commanderies Pingtian Xun" came into view. The whole article was smooth and unpretentious. The writing was full of style and strong writing. After reading, After that, people were amazed.
Ying Zhi raised his eyebrows, pinched his mustache out of habit, took the seal from his waist, covered it with a bang, picked up the yellow scroll with one hand, and turned his head to the other side without looking at Liu Yi. There was a smile on his lips.
Although the "Pingtian Training of the Five Counties" is just a piece of paper with the seals of the five county governors stamped on it, its meaning is not painful. It means that the five county governors recognize Liu Yi, and it also means that the five county governors recognize Liu Yi. Mamoru's approval of Hirata's matter naturally meant that the five county guards gave their full support to Emperor Hirata's matter. These two points are very important in this era of changing political situation and precarious situation!
Ying Zhi's head was tilted to the other side, and he sighed in his heart: There is no shortage of loyal ministers in this world. What is lacking is loyal ministers like Liu Quansheng and Liu Yi who have both brains and ability!
Liu Yi was afraid that Ying Zhi would regret it, so he immediately took away the yellow scroll, put it away carefully, and still stood beside Ying Zhi with his hands cupped.
Ying Zhi turned around and when he saw this scene, he immediately couldn't laugh or cry. He grinned bitterly, "What is this private matter? Hurry up! I really regretted coming to Huaxing to hang out. When I met you father and son, I lost my half-life of wisdom and half of my life's wealth." My son, I’ve all been fooled by you!”
Liu Quansheng smiled elegantly and said, "My son and I didn't steal it, you gave it willingly."
You should be speechless.
Liu Yi didn't make any transitions and blurted out, "This junior wants to take Ying Cheng on a tour of the world. Please ask Uncle Liu for permission."
"Hey, hey, hey? What, you still want to keep a hostage? I tell you, you kid, don't go too far." Ying Zhi was like a cat with exploded hair, baring his teeth and claws at Liu Yi, "What kind of character is Cheng'er? , I know too well. He spent three days fishing and two days drying nets. Do you really think he can become the sword god praised by the world? Stop talking nonsense! No, no, no."
Ying Cheng came out of nowhere and said, "Father, I'm going to go. A great hero who can make a huge impact with a single sword will have no reason not to travel around the world. When I finish my studies, I can start a sect and shine the lintel of my family. Wouldn't it be great?"
Ying Zhi almost died of anger!
...
It turns out that Yingcheng, who had run out of dry food, heard the farmers who went into the mountains to cut firewood saying that Liu Yi was about to go south. They rushed back from the Lingyuan Mountains three days ago and said that "brothers are determined to cut off gold" and insisted on fighting with Liu Yi. Going out to have a little adventure, Liu Yi was so excited that he agreed, and that's why today's private matter happened.
However, Ying Cheng gained a lot from this trip. According to what he said, a few days ago, it snowed heavily, and he practiced sword practice in the snow. At that time, the universe was white, everything was dead, and a feeling of frustration and loneliness came over him. In his heart, a sword slanted out, and the force of the sword actually pierced the skin of a century-old pine, which was regarded as entering the breaking wind realm.
In the past few days, he often boasted, "If a stupid roe deer hadn't pushed me in the butt, with my own understanding, I would have been a swordsman on earth!"
After that, it was inevitable to be 'preached' by Yang Liu, Qiao Miaoqing, and Wang Dali in turns.
Qiao Miaoqing was even more devoid of virtue and taunted ruthlessly, "Third and Twelve Realms, you should be successful. You are still ten realms away from the Tongxuan Divine Realm!"
...
It's not a big deal for brothers to ask each other, Liu Yi will agree, but at this moment, Liu Yi is in great trouble.
You should know that with such a son, how could he be willing to put himself in danger?
Ying Cheng and Liu Yi fought with Ying Zhi, but Lao Jiang was so fierce that the two young men were finally defeated.
Ying Zhi kicked Ying Cheng's butt lightly and said matter-of-factly, "On the rivers and lakes, the warriors in the Po Feng realm are like the weeds in the Lingyuan Mountains. They are countless. If you are not careful, you will be killed." The boat is about to capsize. I will let you out when you reach the Realm of Objects."
Ying Cheng argued, "Father, if there are sixty soldiers and masters from the Huhu Gang in this group, there will definitely be no problems. Besides, Liu Yi is the Pingtian Order of the Five Counties and an official of the imperial court. I am traveling with him. Who can Dare you make a mistake?"
Ying Zhi reprimanded loudly, "Bah! Do you really think that the imperial officials are respected by everyone in the world? How many officials have died in remote temples in the mountains over the years? If you kill a young boy like you, they don't even need to show up." "
Ying Cheng suddenly beat the eggplant like frost, and stood aside with his head hanging down, secretly glancing at Liu Yi, hoping that Liu Yi would try harder.
Liu Yi wanted to speak again, but was interrupted by Ying Cheng's strong voice. The eyes of this "old and cunning" county magistrate flashed and he said sharply, "Boy, if you give me a convincing reason, I will let my son accompany you." You go away, otherwise, don’t even think about it!”
Liu Yi thought about it for a long time, but couldn't think of a reason. In the end, he could only blush and said rationally, "Because he likes it, so he should do it if he likes it. If you are young, you should go to the end of the world with your sword."
Ying Zhi shook his head vigorously. Obviously, he was not satisfied with the answer Liu Yi gave.
Liu Quansheng, who had been sitting on the sidelines and watching without saying a word, drank a cup of Zhongshan tea, stood up and patted Liu Yi on the shoulder, then looked at Ying Zhi, "Respondent, Yi'er is only twelve years old!"
Ying Zhi suddenly froze, a sentence that seemed unrelated to today's events suddenly triggered a thunder in Ying Zhi's heart.
Liu Quansheng smiled slightly when he saw this, then he hugged Liu Yi, who was hesitant to speak, and walked out of the side room and out of the governor's mansion.
Only the county magistrate Ying Zhi, who looked dull, and the young man Ying Cheng, who looked confused, were left.
...
After leaving the door, Liu Yi thought for a while, and finally asked Liu Quansheng without knowing why, "Father, what did you mean by what you said to the county magistrate just now?"
Liu Quansheng smiled lightly and said, "Didn't you guess?"
Liu Yi answered honestly, "I didn't guess it! I asked my father to answer my questions."
Liu Quansheng flicked Liu Yi's forehead with his finger and said with a smile, "You are such a smart kid, but how can you become dull when you are involved in something?"
Liu Yi scratched his head and smiled innocently.
Liu Quansheng's face was like autumn water, "Yi'er, you have read all the classics of hundreds of schools of thought since you were a child. I remember one time you told me that among the hundreds of schools of thought, you admire Legalism the most, right?"
Liu Yi nodded lightly, "Legalists do not distinguish between closeness and distance, no distinction between high and low. Once you break away from the law, it is very close to my heart."
Liu Quansheng asked, "What is the core essence of Legalism?"
Liu Yi opened his mouth and said, "The combination of law, technique, and power will bring great power to the world."
Liu Quansheng smiled warmly and said patiently, "Use the law as the guideline, use skills to control people, and use power to suppress people. The three are combined into one, which is always beneficial. My child, you have served as the Pingtian Order of the Five Counties at a young age. This is For you, this is a huge advantage!”
Liu Yi understood everything and immediately praised, "Father is so smart!"
Liu Quansheng smiled and said, "Let's go, father will make two special dishes for you and Qiao Miaoqing to practice!"
Liu Yi grinned, "Okay!"
...
After Liu Quansheng and his son left, only Ying's father and son were left in the house.
After thinking for a short time, Ying Zhi understood the implication of Liu Quansheng's words, and then looked at his bored son on the side and sighed softly in his heart.
I am old, my energy is declining, and my abilities are limited, so it is impossible for me to make further progress in my official career. This can be seen from the fact that he was rewarded but not given for his great contribution to eradicating the Liu family. In a few years, His Majesty may have to return to Lingyuan himself.
As the saying goes: Rely on your parents at home and rely on your friends outside. If his son wanted to stand out, he would naturally join the regiment for warmth and dependence. Liu Yi was granted the title of Pingtian Order of the Five Counties at a young age, and was on an equal footing with the county governor. In addition, he had an ambiguity with His Majesty that he did not know whether it was true or false. With the help of the "Three Heroes of Quzhou" and the Huhu Gang, the future will be bright.
However, the road to pacify the family is difficult and dangerous. The family is like a scourge, and they are all people who cannibalize people without spitting out their bones. Cheng'er is my son and has a special status. If someone with intentions discovers this trip, targeted measures will be taken. Action, when Cheng'er loses his wings, can Cheng'er protect himself?
Ying Zhi sat there, thinking over and over again, and then a trace of determination appeared in his eyes.
I can’t bear to let my child trap the wolf. For the future of this child, let’s take a gamble!
But when he saw Ying Zhi narrowing his triangular eyes, he asked, "Son, do you really want to travel around the world?"
Ying Cheng saw that this was a drama, so he hurriedly stepped forward, beat Ying Zhi's legs and back, and said coquettishly, "Dad, just let me go. Although I am a young child, I can't always shrink in the nest. The eagle will always soar in the sky."
Ying Zhi patted Ying Cheng on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You kid, go ahead, be careful!"
Ying Cheng was afraid that Ying Zhi would suddenly repent and ran out of the governor's house without even having time to say thank you.
Ying Zhi was sitting alone in the side room, muttering in a low voice, "The snow and moon are suitable, and the plum and snow are pure. But there are still some differences between the moon in the sky and the snow on the ground. Cheng'er, how much your future achievements will be depends on you." , what I can do as a father is to burn a stick of incense at home and pray to my ancestors to protect you and have a safe journey."
Afterwards, the unattractive-looking county guard leaned on the side of the door, deep in thought.
Liu Yi, Liu Yi!
Are golden scales just a thing in the pond? They can reach the sky when the storm strikes!
