Dafeng Imperial College is located in a very deep alley to the west of Huai'an. It has existed since the founding of Huai'an. At that time, Huaian had just undergone restructuring, and the Imperial College, formerly known as Taixue, was affiliated to the original Taichang Temple. It was independent and divided into an independent educational institution. For thousands of years, Dafeng Dynasty has been responsible for accepting students from all over the world. It has a subtle relationship with the six ministries, but it is not subordinate.
In the thousand-year history of the Dafeng Dynasty, in order to balance the efforts of students from the north and south of Yunmengze to become officials, people from Huangliang were often in charge of offering wine in the Dafeng Imperial Academy.
Today's Imperial College sacrificial wine has a very intriguing name.
It’s called hearing someone’s feelings and returning home.
A female teacher who was born in Xuanxuyuan of Baihe City.
Although there has always been a rule in Huangliang that Mr. Xuansheyuan cannot become an official, in Huaidu, which is far to the north of the world, such a rule is naturally unnecessary.
Wenren was thirty-six years old when she returned home. She was considered an extremely young person in the entire Huaidu. Before she came to Huaidu, she was also the dean of Baihe Xuansheyuan, a spiritual witch who cultivated witches and ghosts.
No matter from any angle, this is naturally an extremely outstanding woman.
It's just that in a large human capital like Huaidu, where the heavenly prison, the demon clan, and the spiritual world coexist, such a woman has no reputation in the world.
Perhaps for Huangliang, this is already an extremely rare existence, but for Huaian, it is naturally far from enough.
Let’s use a very simple example.
Mei Xiyu, who is walking in shackles in Sophora Capital, is thirty years old this year and has four roads. It's just that such a Taoist cannot be considered to have outstanding talents in Qingtian Dao. People such as Jiang Shanxue and Liu Sanyue are naturally far better than this Taoist who cultivates Qingtian outside the town.
But perhaps this can be said to be a good thing for someone who has returned home.
If the world had heard her name for a long time, then when the Southern Xuansheyuan rebelled, Huaidu was forced by the pressure of the general situation, and the position of Jiujiu in the Imperial College would most likely have been replaced by another candidate.
In the past, when people thought of this name, they would only praise her for having a generous feeling that was hard to leave her homeland.
But in troubled times, it is inevitable that there will be many meanings that should not be there.
Between the year 103 and the year 104 of the Great Wind Calendar, the entire Imperial College was extremely peaceful.
Even though the Minister of Civil Affairs suppressed those students for a whole year and did not allow them to enroll in school or become officials, this high-status Imperial College scholar did not complain at all.
The general trend of the world is forcing us to speak cautiously.
Therefore, when Wenren Huaigui, who was wearing a witch robe with not very obvious patterns, stood outside the collection pavilion in the academy and saw the Lord Attendant coming through the deep alley in the twilight, it was very obvious. frowned.
The Imperial College is located in the deep alleys of Huaidu, which naturally does not mean that it is alienated from the world. In fact, as a candidate institution for cultivating officials in Huaidu, the Imperial College cannot be isolated from the world.
Throughout the month of May, the entire Sophora japonica was shrouded in the shadow of stories from the Heavenly Prison and the Siwu Demon Mansion. Naturally, it was impossible not to know someone who was pregnant.
The door of Xuansheyuan is never closed.
The door of the Imperial College is rarely opened.
The door at the end of the alley was naturally closed.
Of course, the Imperial College has the freedom not to open the door.
It's just that when I heard that someone was pregnant, I naturally didn't want to offend the Lord Attendant, or to be more precise, the Siwu Demon Mansion in the hands of the Lord Attendant.
Although one person is inferior to ten thousand people, the servants still have to abide by some of the rules of the court.
But the Siwu Demon Mansion, which controls the rule of Siwu, naturally does not have so many taboos.
In other words, during the Siwu period, even the Heavenly Prison needed to give Siwu Demon Mansion a lot of face.
That's why things happened when Huaidu was stagnant in the Heavenly Hell.
Today, the Imperial College has just begun to accept those students who have been stranded in Huaidu for a year. There are many things to be busy with, so no one has discovered that the servants who were supposed to be discussing the affairs of the south in the palace have already arrived. Outside the Imperial Academy.
Wen Renhuaigui looked silently at the Lord Attendant who was walking quietly in the alley. After hesitating for a long time, he still walked down, passing through many schools along the way, and appeared at the entrance of the Imperial College.
The door has been knocked.
The concierge on duty was about to open the door, but when he saw Wen Renhuaigui coming towards here through the locust tree on the courtyard road, he hesitated for a moment.
Wenren Huaigui adjusted his witch robe, then stood at the door and nodded.
The door opens.
Even Shui Zai Ping raised his eyebrows when he saw Wen Renhuaigui at the door. He probably didn't expect Wen Renhuaigui to appear here in person.
This woman from Baihe Xuanxuyuan just bowed with a calm expression.
"I have met the Lord Attendant."
Shui Zai Ping was surprised, but he also restrained his expression, returned the gift with a smile, and said: "I thought Lord Jijiu must be in a hurry today, but I never thought you would come and open the door in person."
Wenren Huaigui said calmly: "The world is not at peace, and Huaidu has been the same recently. Wenren naturally needs to be treated with caution. I wonder why the Lord Attendant is here today?"
Shui Zaiping smiled slightly and said: "Lord Jijiu, you should also know that last year, Lord Shangshu Yuan of the Ministry of Civil Affairs delayed the student's entry into the official position. It was not until yesterday that he finally relented during the palace discussion. I am worried that There was some commotion in the Imperial College, so I postponed today's palace meeting and came here specifically to have a look."
Wenren Huaigui was silent for a while, turned around and walked towards the courtyard, and said softly: "Your Excellency, you are very knowledgeable about things. There are indeed some strange voices in the courtyard today."
Shuizi Ping was not surprised, and just followed him calmly.
After all, the students of Dafengli 1,003 years were suppressed for so long before they were finally able to enroll in the Imperial College. Naturally, it was inevitable that some students from previous years would discuss and question it.
The two of them passed through the courtyards all the way, and a courtyard appeared not far away. Many students in the courtyard were receiving clothes and identity certificates under the leadership of Mr. Guozijian. A little further away, there was a courtyard in Huai. The school house and bamboo house behind the forest.
Shui Zai Ping and Wen Ren Huaigui stopped on the courtyard road and looked there quietly.
The big demon in white looked at it for a while, then laughed softly and said, "I think these students are probably full of resentment towards me."
Huaidu always thought that the reason why last year's students were not allowed to join the official service was because the servants under his command were in trouble.
Wenren Huaigui was silent for a while, maybe he didn't understand the meaning of Shui Zaiping's words, and said slowly: "The Imperial College will make these things clear in the future, and the Lord will be innocent."
Shui Zaiping just said calmly: "That's not necessary."
Wen Renhuai turned around and looked at the big demon in white.
"They should understand that the king's ministers seek the king's services."
Shui Zaiping said lightly, turning his head to look behind the locust trees, where there were some students from previous years secretly watching.
Perhaps it was because of such a servant, the big demon in charge of the Siwu Demon Mansion, that his eyes were too sharp, but the students who were secretly spying behind Huailin Road noticed such a young man in white standing with the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine.
Those who wear white clothes in the world are naturally not ordinary people.
What's more, in Huaidu, among the ministers who don't wear official uniforms but wear white clothes, only the servants have water in the bottle.
The figures of the students behind the forest dispersed in fear.
Only then did Shui Zaiping retract his gaze, with a smile on his face again, looking at the newly admitted students.
Wenren Huaigui quietly looked at the stories behind the forest, then looked at the water bottle aside, and said softly: "It seems that the Lord Attendant is indeed here for this."
Shui Zaiping just said calmly: "The Imperial College has the responsibility of recommending officials to the Ministry of Personnel. Naturally, the matters of learning should not be taken lightly."
When Wen Renhuai returned home, he bowed and said softly: "Your Excellency, the Imperial Guard, is so busy that you can still remember this matter. I am naturally very grateful. However, this action of your Excellency is a bit redundant."
Shui Zaiping raised his eyebrows and said, "Why?"
Wenren Huagui looked calm and said slowly: "Although I am a Huang Liang man, I am still loyal to Your Majesty. I am in the position of offering wine in the Imperial Academy, so I will naturally do what I should do."
Shui Zaiping said calmly: "In the face of the rebellion in Xuansheyuan, Lord Jijiu is so loyal, which is touching, but the world may not be willing to believe it. As the saying goes, everyone's mouth makes gold, if the entire Huai River doesn't believe in Lord Jijiu , Even if you use all kinds of words, you can’t excuse it.”
Wen Renhuai turned around and looked at the water in the bottle silently.
The rebellion of Xuanxuyuan was naturally something that this woman from Baihe Xuanxuyuan did not want to hear.
After a long time, I heard that the person was pregnant and then slowly said: "The world may not be willing to believe your lord."
Shui Zaiping said calmly: "The Siwu Demon Mansion won't care whether they believe it or not, but the Imperial College may not care, and the Lord Jijiu may not care either."
The Siwu Demon Mansion, which controls one of the Three Rules of Huaidu, naturally has enough confidence to face many doubts.
Even the Ministry of War, which holds military power, has to bow to this Lord Attendant in such a story.
Wenren Huaigui fell silent for a long time, but standing on the path of the locust tree, his witch robe was blown away and he still couldn't calm down.
It's just that the Imperial Academy offered wine but didn't say anything else.
The two of them looked there quietly for a long time.
"The situation in the world is in turmoil. We must not make any mistakes. It is not just about the Ministry of War. The Imperial College needs to recommend a group of candidates to fill the vacancies as soon as possible."
Shui Zai Ping spoke slowly and turned to look at Wen Ren Huaigui on the side.
"This matter will make Master Jijiu suffer."
Wenren Huaigui said softly: "Thank you, Sir, for reminding me. The Imperial College will discuss this matter seriously with the Ministry of Civil Affairs."
Shui Zai Ping smiled slightly and said, "This is the best."
Perhaps the Lord Attendant really came here just for this reason. He showed his face in front of many students and then turned around and left.
Wen Renhuai returned and turned to look at the big demon in white.
"I heard that the Lord Attendant is interested in the candidates for the Ministry of War?"
The water bottle stopped on the path, turned around and looked at Wen Renhuai for a long time, and said calmly: "I do belong to my heart."
"Is this the student named Zhu Congwen who was taken away by Dali Temple today?"
"Yes."
Wenren Huaigui did not ask any more questions, but said softly: "Your Excellency, please go slowly."
Shui Zaiping left the Imperial College calmly.
It wasn't until Shui Zaiping's figure disappeared out of the alley that the Imperial Academy finally came, stopped next to Wen Renhuaigui, and asked with some doubts: "What are you doing here, Sir? "
Wen Renhuaigui stood there quietly and looked at the students who were familiar with the affairs of the Imperial College. After a long time, he said calmly: "I don't know."
The sudden arrival of water in a bottle is naturally a very strange thing.
The Lord Attendant who lives in the Siwu Demon Mansion has always been somewhat mysterious.
I just don’t know whether Gui Gui knows or not. Wen Renhuai Gui pondered for a long time, then looked at the Imperial Academy Prime Minister aside, and said calmly: "Let them check again, the origins and past of this group of students, it is best to go to the Heavenly Prison Let’s go there and try to get some case files from the Heavenly Prison.”
The Prime Minister of the Imperial Academy, who was standing aside, said in a deep voice: "Okay."
Naturally, not only the officials will be worried about some things.
The same is true for the Imperial College.
The arrival of water in the bottle undoubtedly made Wenren Huaigui feel a little more uneasy.
The pressure brought upon them by the Siwu Demon Mansion and the Siwu Rule was indeed extremely great.
Under the current circumstances, she had to be cautious about these things.
...
The matters discussed in the palace are naturally extremely heavy.
The war in the south has been at a stalemate for a long time. The sudden withdrawal of troops from Huangliang is naturally very suspicious. What's more, the goddess Yaoji is in Nanyi City, and the officials in Huaidu are helpless about this matter.
Li Chenghe, Minister of the Ministry of War, died on the streets of Huaidu. Liu Sanyue, the most respected left minister of the Ministry of War, was said to be living in Huangliang although he was not dead. The affairs of the Ministry of War were temporarily delegated to the right minister.
But probably these things have nothing to do with a certain servant who is watching the sunset on the streets of Huaidu.
His Majesty is not in Huaidu. Naturally, no one can control whether such a servant will go or stay.
The world is in a hurry, and it seems that it has returned to its original appearance. The streets and lanes have changed once before, and will only start to flow slowly after nightfall. The setting sun in the Sunset Pavilion is slowly sinking, and the slanting moon in the east There was sword intent flowing across the stage.
The sun is getting late, so it is naturally difficult to see monsters in the human world.
Even the Siwu Guards walked around the world in a well-behaved manner just like everyone else.
Shui Zai Ping, dressed in white, shines extremely brilliantly, standing on a high-rise hanging street somewhere in Huaidu like a man wearing gold armor.
A man who looked like a middle-aged butler who was not very outstanding in the Siwu Demon Mansion crossed the long street, came in a hurry, and stopped next to the water bottle, which seemed to be leisurely looking at the world.
"Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment have already started taking action."
The man said in a deep voice.
Shui Zaiping just stood quietly by the guardrail of the hanging street, watching the setting sun, and then looking down at the human world that was layered down like an abyss.
Even if you have been looking at the bottle of water for countless years, you will have a rather magnificent feeling when you stand high in Sophora City and look down.
Of course, not to mention some ordinary people.
At that time, a Taoist from Qingtian Dao, on the occasion of His Majesty's birthday, was shocked to see this glorious and majestic scene of the world on a street somewhere, and then he made a certain choice later, and maybe it changed that Taoist. The trajectory of a lifetime.
It would be no surprise if such a vast place existed in the world of spiritual practice.
But this is the human world.
With the help of machines and the bodies of ordinary people, a majestic city unprecedented in ancient times was built bit by bit.
Shui Zaiping looked at the world quietly, perhaps feeling a little sad.
So I didn't speak for a long time.
It wasn't until the man said it again that Shui Zaiping seemed to wake up from a very grand dream. He turned around and said calmly: "Let them go."
The butler of the Siwu Demon Mansion fell silent and looked for a long time at the servant standing against the light in the dusk.
"Siwu Demon Mansion doesn't want to fall like this."
The man said softly.
"But when a person reaches a high place, there is only one way to fall, Qinyu."
That person is indeed a monster, and only monsters can have such a weird, bizarre and extremely convenient name, as if written down casually.
The people in the Siwu Demon Mansion are naturally members of the demon clan.
This is a great demon with equally powerful demonic power.
"What's more, if Dali Temple doesn't move, won't the world know about it?" Shui Zaiping said calmly. "When His Majesty comes back, everything will naturally fall apart. It's just a matter of time."
Qianyu stood there silently, staring blankly at the world. Of course he understood these truths.
I just don’t know what he thought of, but a fierce light suddenly appeared in the expression of the big demon in the Siwu Demon Mansion. He suddenly raised his head, looked at the water bottle and said in a deep voice: "I heard that your Majesty was in the East China Sea. Suffered extremely serious injuries..."
"Snapped!"
But before Qian Yu finished speaking, a very crisp slap sounded quickly on the hanging street.
Shui Zaiping calmly took back his hand, glanced at the big demon in his house, and then turned to look at the world quietly.
"I don't want to hear such words again, Qianyu."
Qian Yu fell silent, and some demon blood gradually dripped from the corners of his lips. However, this great demon who could compete with some six-level cultivators just lowered his head silently.
"If you let me know you still have such thoughts..."
The water in the bottle walked calmly along the hanging street.
"Tomorrow there will be another corpse in Huaidu that falls from the hanging street."
Qianyu followed silently.
The two of them walked quietly on Huaidu Long Street.
In fact, for Shuiziping, it has been a long time since he had time to take a good tour of this majestic capital city.
As the highest officer of the province.
The saying that people with water in a bottle are very busy is actually never an exaggeration.
Perhaps it was only today that the Lord Attendant was finally free.
Maybe in the future too.
Those ministers in the palace may also know in their hearts what it means for Shui Zaiping to suddenly leave the palace.
Shui Zai Ping stopped at the end of Xuan Street and looked at the human scenery quietly.
Just like looking at those ancient locust trees on the palace road today.
"Your Majesty is one of the few wise and sage kings in Huai'an for more than a thousand years."
The waiter in white said calmly.
"The Ghost Emperor, the Huai Emperor, the Hou Emperor, and even the Huai'an Ming Emperor, who has the word Ming, no one can compare with him on the human level."
Shui Zaiping turned to look at Qin Yu behind him, and said lightly: "I hope you can understand that if such an emperor can last for generations, it will be a blessing to the world."
Qian Yu lowered his head, the look of such a big monster in the dusk was a little unclear.
"My lord is right."
