Dahua respected Taoism and Buddhism, and the people's livelihood has been prosperous for many years. Therefore, the practice of martial arts, Taoism, and Buddhism among the people has become popular. Therefore, there are many sects and gangs in Dahua Wulin that have been around for hundreds of years, and they often have hundreds of disciples. Seventy-eight out of ten of the world's masters listed in the Zhaixing Pavilion came from various prefectures and prefectures in Dahua.
However, the country of Jue has been in straits for a hundred years, and the people's livelihood is extremely difficult. From the courts to the townspeople, everyone is frugal and simple. If it is difficult to have children and raise children, why would you want to cultivate martial arts to the Tao? In the country of Jue, farming is the only way to make a living. Practicing martial arts and running around are the lowest among the lowest and are looked down upon by others.
Now, is there no master in Jue Country?
Obviously not.
People have an innate desire to pursue martial arts. Who doesn’t want to walk high and high like a ghost? Who doesn’t want to be able to crack boulders with a punch of a thousand pounds? It's just that everything can't be done, it's just a matter of making choices.
Moreover, a country cannot be defended without force.
There was no imperial examination in Jue State, and officials could only come from two places: hereditary and recommended.
Duanmu Jing, Mu Danqing, Mu Jie and others were born into noble families, and they were all hereditary officials.
Xu Qianmeng, Yu Lingyi and others all came from ordinary families, and they were recommended by the royal family before they could establish themselves in the temple.
Among the school supervisors in various places, students with excellent academic performance will be referred to the yamen of each government, where they will be assigned to the civil staff. If the staff manages affairs properly, they can be recommended by the chief officials as officials. From this we can see that it is difficult for a scholar to become an official overnight.
Xu Qianmeng was well-known and a great scholar in Jue Kingdom, but he had never been recommended by the powerful to obtain an official position. Duan Muyu, a young man, admired his talent and went to the Hanshan hut where he stayed anonymously. The two of them talked about the past, discussed the present, and commented on current affairs in that thatched hut that could not block the wind or rain. They rested for half a month, and they seemed to regret meeting each other late. A few days later, Duanmuyu, wearing a four-clawed python robe, riding a five-color horse, and leading an eight-carriage sedan, visited again. Xu Qianmeng came out after hearing the sound, looked at each other with a smile, and sat in the pride without hesitation.
The so-called confidant is nothing more than that!
After only serving as the chief staff guest in the East Palace for half a month, Duanmuyu strongly recommended him as a loyal eunuch, who discussed national policies and conducted state affairs, ranking him at the top of the court.
A scholar dies for a confidant.
Xu Qianmeng quickly proposed "renovating the government and eliminating accumulated abuses", and as the minister of political reform, he not only merged administrative offices and eliminated redundant personnel, but also promoted self-sufficiency in military camps and farmland, and ended the military tax to reduce the burden on the people. During this period, he encountered countless open attacks, assassinations, and narrow escapes from death! However, in the past ten years, the country of Jue has been rising rapidly, and all industries have prospered, and it has the potential to keep pace with the great powers.
The story of Xu Qianmeng and Duanmuyu reciprocating their love quickly spread throughout the country and became a good story. It was only a matter of time before it was recorded in the history of Jue Kingdom.
Unlike Xu Qianmeng, Yu Lingyi recommended himself to become an official. This was the only case in the entire Dajue Kingdom.
Twelve years ago, Yu Lingyi felt that he had mastered martial arts, so he walked out of the remote countryside with his bag in hand and headed straight for Yin Yang City. After arriving at Yinyang City, he asked people when he saw them, "Where are the best martial arts masters in Jue Kingdom?"
Everyone told him: The best martial artist is in the Duwei Mansion.
Where is the Duwei Mansion? The royal family and relatives all need personal protection by experts, and all these experts are supported in the Duwei Mansion before entering each mansion. It is not an exaggeration to say that the masters of the Jue Kingdom originated from the Duwei Mansion.
Early on the next morning, Yu Lingyi put on new clothes and stood in front of the gate of the Duwei Mansion. As soon as the "Dian Mao" bell rang, he shouted inside: "The masters recommend themselves! The masters recommend themselves!" All the officials and guests of the Duwei Mansion were They were shocked and shocked, and they all came out, wanting to see this reckless man who called himself a "master".
The Duwei Mansion is the most martial place in Dahua, and the place is either the palace or the palace of a prince. There is no room for error, so the selection and appointment of people are always fair. That day, Yu Lingyi defeated all the guests in the mansion from bottom to top and became famous in one battle. Afterwards, he was able to successfully enter the palace and became the royal guest of honor. He gained the trust of Duanmulan and at this time he had become a general of the Imperial Guard.
... ...
Contrary to Qing Xuan's imagination, there was no one behind the palace gate. To be exact, there was not even a single figure visible behind the palace gate. The palace is the most tightly guarded place, and it is impossible to let people in and out. Since the imperial guards are not in the open, they are naturally hidden out of sight.
It is easy to hide from an open gun, but difficult to guard against a hidden arrow.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Suddenly there was a rapid sound of sharp objects breaking through the air, followed by densely packed feather arrows. Without thinking too much, Qingxuan lowered his figure, took "steps" and quickly ran out of the palace gate, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Where are the people?"
"Escaped from the palace!"
"Chase! Dig three feet into the ground to find him!" Sparse conversations came from behind the fence. Immediately afterwards, a gap opened in the wall, and two rows of finely decorated guards rushed out, heading straight for the palace gate.
Qingxuan only had one purpose here, and that was to kill Duanmu Lan. How could he return without success? Just now the arrows were coming, and he could rush past them with his lightness skills, but if he wanted to avoid being injured at all, it would be extremely difficult. In an instant, he had the idea of retreating in order to advance, and hid at the palace gate.
One hundred steps...fifty steps...ten steps, Qingxuan jumped down from the palace gate, and rushed forward before the imperial guards could react, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.
... ...
In a recess, hundreds of people were lying on the ground. The shouts of killing have stopped, but the murderer does not know who was killed.
Zhao Qianming drove his horse over slowly, looking at the scattered corpses with a complex expression, and after a while he cursed: "Damn it, if you didn't come to challenge me, how could I risk the whole family to kill you? It's all because of you!" The more he spoke, the angrier he became, and finally he even pulled out his sword and slashed at several corpses beside him.
"Bang!" After killing dozens of times, Zhao Qianming dropped his sword, turned around, jumped on his horse, and whispered to the adjutant beside him: "Find Xia Muchao's body, collect it and bury it on the spot. Dig the rest. Just bury them together in the big pit! Although I surrendered to Shatuo, I grew up eating Dahua's rice after all. And I took the Xia family's salary for so many years to prevent these people from dying in the wilderness, so I can be regarded as Dahua. The last thing to do!"
Liao Tingjie, the deputy general of the general's office stationed in the north, was a third-grade military officer. Since the general rebelled, he had no choice but to follow the rebellion. Zhao Qianming has already detained his family members. If he hesitates at all, he will end up exterminating his entire family. When he heard that Xia Muchao was to be buried, he couldn't help but blush, and immediately replied in a deep voice: "Yes, general, my subordinates will make arrangements now!"
... ...
"Your Majesty, Taoist Priest Zhan has returned to the palace!" Ni Juzheng walked quickly to the left side of Emperor Yonghua and leaned over to report.
"Oh, invite him quickly!" Emperor Yonghua was reading the memorial. He couldn't help but feel happy after hearing this. He folded the memorial and threw it aside.
While the two were talking, the eunuch on duty outside the palace suddenly knelt on the ground and reported: "Your Majesty, Yi Zuhui, deputy envoy of Pingzhou Disaster Relief, has sent an urgent report from 700 miles away!" As he knelt, he held a white folded folded bag with both hands. Book.
Originally it was a funeral post, but it was expedited for seven hundred miles, which was the journey of the prince's death. Among the princes in Pingzhou, Xia Muren was the only one.
Emperor Yonghua just stood up, listened to the old eunuch's report, and saw the white folded book in his hand. Naturally, he thought of King Yi. Suddenly his eyes went dark, and he fell down with a "bang!" and fell unconscious again. personnel.
"emperor!"
"emperor!"
