The lingering autumn rain is pattering, the wind and clouds are drifting into the vast mist, and the lush Wuzhi Mountain looks shadowy under the gloom, even if you look far away, you can't see it clearly.
As the saying goes, quietness leads to self-cultivation and frugality leads to virtue. Li Liangji and Yin Jun live in a place like this and live in seclusion, which is definitely conducive to a comfortable mood.
However, instead of calming down, the two of them were restless like ants on a hot pot.
The current situation in Dafeng is showing signs of getting out of control. If the chaos is not corrected in time, the foundation of the country will be shaken.
In view of this, Yin Jun insisted on leaving the Emperor temporarily and went to Beijing alone to stabilize the overall situation.
He believes that the first priority right now is to find out the so-called murderer, so that he can explain to Nanyang and Mobei. Besides, Qi Yu was his close friend and brother-in-law, and he could not let the murderer go unpunished, both in public and private matters.
Therefore, a trip to Beijing is necessary.
Li Liangji believed that the matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. Neither Su Liu nor Lu Boxuan were mediocre people. How could they not collect any evidence?
Even if the two of them are not good at judgment, they can't even get the slightest clue from Meng Jiming, right?
It's so abnormal, there must be something fishy in it.
Although Yin Jun is a great talent, he is not necessarily much better than Meng Jiming in terms of audit judgment. It is unlikely that he will surpass the professionals when he goes north to assist.
But the above are all just guesses. What if we find special clues?
Moreover, it is very necessary to stabilize the overall situation. Even if the case cannot be solved, it is good to resolve the conflicts between the parties.
Although Li Liangji didn't agree with it very much, he couldn't think of a better way for a while. In the end, he agreed to Yin Jun's request.
Just when the latter was about to say goodbye, a visitor suddenly came to visit, and it was Muzi Qingqin who brought him.
Guests, two.
One is Li Hongyu, the emperor of Da Feng Dynasty in disguise, and the other is an unfamiliar face, an old monk who is almost 60 years old.
Li Liangji was startled at first, and then he was enveloped in the joy of meeting again after a long absence.
Nowadays, Li Hongyu is strong and well-behaved. He is no longer the green pheasant boy he used to be. He is heroic and resolute, and he has indeed matured a lot.
Look at that monk again.
His white eyebrows drooped sadly, and his face was wrinkled, like an old Coptis root soaked in bile, which always gave people a feeling of bitterness and hatred.
Li Liangji first patted his son on the shoulder, then nodded to his eldest princess, and then asked the monk.
"The Venerable has a compassionate face and a humble demeanor. I wonder which eminent monk he is?"
"The poor monk Hui Guo has met the Supreme Emperor."
Huiguo?
Hmm... never heard of it.
Li Liangji frowned slightly and said kindly: "I forgive you for being ignorant and ignorant of foreign scholars. This makes your venerable laugh."
The monk shook his head and said with profound meaning: "The poor monk and His Majesty are of the same origin. How can you say that you don't know him? However, the poor monk has lived abroad for a long time and lives in simplicity. It is reasonable that he has never heard of Zunyan. "
He is of the same lineage, has lived overseas for a long time, and is also a monk.
If these factors are combined, a legendary name will be blurted out.
Li Liangji couldn't help but look at Yin Jun beside him. After the two looked at each other, they both nodded tacitly: He is... Emperor Jianwu.
As if he knew how to read minds, the old monk nodded and replied without waiting for them to ask questions: "Yes, the poor monk is exactly what you are thinking of."
Once upon a time, Li Liangji dreamed of killing this person, but now that he was so close, he couldn't even bring up the slightest intention to kill him.
It seems that the previous hatred has faded with the passage of time. At this time, both of them are no longer nobles in the temple, and it is even said that they have been forgotten by the world.
To put it figuratively speaking, both of us are already retirees who are working for retirement. How can we talk about politics if they are not in their respective positions? Nowadays, in the world of Houlang, if you call yourself a loner, you will be ridiculed.
After being frightened for a while, Li Liangji began to regain his composure. With a smile on his face, he generously cupped his hands and gave up his seat, as if he were reunited with an old friend.
Yin Jun boiled water and made tea. After it was done, he sat aside and listened silently. He was also deeply curious about the legendary figure of Emperor Jianwu.
What I didn't expect was that I would actually be able to see his true form in my lifetime.
In addition to curiosity, there is also some confusion, why are you hanging out with him today? Judging from that gesture, it seems quite warm.
Let’s talk about Li Liangji. He put his hands on the tea and asked in harmony: “I wonder what the hell is going on, Your Majesty, who has traveled far and wide to get here?”
Huiguo thanked me by knocking tea and replied: "Emperor Dafeng was touring the South Seas and happened to stop in my remote land. Later, he met a poor monk in vain to talk about the affairs of the world. I had already disappeared into the dust and did not ask any questions. As a general official, I saw that the emperor was thirsty for knowledge and was not ashamed to ask, so I had no choice but to express my humble opinion to the sage..."
Emperor Jianwu did not directly answer why he came here, but started from the antecedents and slowly talked about the consequences.
As he talked, Li Liangji finally figured out the whole story.
It turned out that after Li Hongyu arrived in Dahua, he was immediately attracted by the rapid development there. He heard from ordinary people that this place was originally barren and barren, but it was only after learning from Nanyang's development experience that things changed.
In addition to the rapid economic development, Li Hongyu was also deeply curious about the political system here and couldn't wait to find out.
The situation is roughly like this. After Australia stabilized, Qi Xiaotong officially took the neighboring Otillo under the command of Dahua. Naturally, Emperor Jianwu's lineage also moved here.
Perhaps it was because of the friendship in the past, or perhaps it was based on his kindness to nobles. In short, Qi Xiaotong gave their family the highest political status. After everyone agreed, she directly enshrined the son of Emperor Jianwu as the king of Dahua. Apart from having no real power, this monarch is no different from the current royal family.
The monarch not only enjoys nominal respect, but can also be hereditary without restriction. To show formality, it was specially written into the constitution of Dahua.
In this way, the world's first constitutional monarchy was born.
According to Li Hongyu's observation, this system is far more efficient than the dynastic state, and it has regular changes, which can effectively prevent the emergence of powerful ministers.
Even the president of Dahua is no exception and must give up his position upon expiration.
Li Hongyu was particularly concerned about the treatment of the monarch. He had a feeling that Dafeng would probably follow this path in the future. When that happened, where would the Li family go?
There happens to be a reference object that matches very well. Wouldn't it be a pity to miss it? Isn't that the purpose of traveling across the ocean to find hidden places?
There is no doubt that the elderly Emperor Jianwu played an important role in the formulation of this system. Why don't you go and ask for advice?
