Sword comes

Chapter 406

Before Chen Pingan accompanied Mao Xiaodong down the mountain to the Confucian Temple in the capital to "try his luck", he arranged the manpower in the academy first, so as not to take advantage of the loopholes inexplicably, and to lure others to bite the bait. count.

Let Pei Qian move out of the guest house first, and live in the house where Xie Xie took care of him. She was accompanied by Shi Rou, and Chen Pingan handed over the golden demon-binding rope to her.

Lin Shouyi would practice in the courtyard under the name of Cui Dongshan during the day, and "Du Mao" moved in. After chatting with Chen Pingan, Lin Shouyi simply lived in the courtyard generously.

Chen Ping asked Zhu Lian and Yu Lu to take care of Li Bao and Li Huai secretly.

Zhu Lian, Yu Lu, a stooped old man who would smile when he saw a woman, and a tall young man with a calm smile on his face, who could have imagined that they were two pure warriors with a golden body.

Li Bao and Pei Qian live together in Cui Dongshan's main house at night, I believe Cui Dongshan will not have any objections, and dare not.

Xie Xie and Lin Shouyi live in a separate room, Shi Rou is a feminist who can serve as a night watchman, and Li Huai shares a room with Lin Shouyi.

Zhu Lian doesn't need to live in the courtyard, but can sleep in the original guest house at night.

But Yu Lu had to partner with Shi Rou to keep watch in the middle of the night.

Chen Pingan doesn't quite believe that Shi Rou can handle some emergencies.

On the other hand, Yu Lu has always been reassuring.

As for Mao Xiaodong's academy, among the masters who watch the night, there has always been a distinction between civil and military. For example, Dong Jing, the great scholar who has favored Lin Shouyi, is an old Jindan monk who is proficient in thunder techniques, and there is another one. An unobtrusive, and even more unknown, Nascent Soul Earth Immortal. Like Mao Xiaodong, he came from Dali. It is the old man surnamed Liang who guards the gate of the academy. At critical moments, this person can take the place of Mao Xiaodong. Academy.

In the end, Chen Pingan called Li Bao aside alone, and handed her the two items he got from Li Baozhen, a jade pendant engraved with "Dragon Palace", and a high-rank day and night wandering god amulet.

Li Bao was a little puzzled.

Chen Pingan didn't hide anything, and roughly told Li Bao about the encounter between himself and Li Baozhen in Qingluan country, and finally rubbed Li Bao's head, and said softly: "I won't take the initiative to find your second brother in the future, I will try my best to avoid him, but if Li Baozhen does not give up, or if he feels that he has been humiliated at the Lion Park, and there will be conflicts in the future, I will not show mercy. Of course, these have nothing to do with you."

Li Bao was a little depressed, but his eyes were still bright, "Little uncle, you and my second brother just follow the rules of the rivers and lakes, and the grievances and grievances are clear."

When Li Bao said this, he asked: "Little uncle, can I write a letter to my elder brother, asking him to persuade the second brother to stop?"

Chen Pingan thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's possible."

Li Baogang was about to speak, and was going to present the jade pendant and talisman to Chen Pingan.

Before the little uncle went down the mountain this time, he had already told them about the current situation.

Li Bao just wanted to let the little uncle have two more things by his side.

Chen Pingan had already laughed and said: "In the Lion Garden, I teamed up with a very powerful magic sword female crown to capture an extremely rare monster that is equivalent to a living cornucopia. , as compensation and remuneration, she gave me 62 grain rain coins. So I want to borrow the amulet of the day and night wandering god from you. It's not buying, but borrowing. It's a bit like a pawn shop, but let's reverse it, you pawn the talisman to me , I will give you these Guyu money. Because this talisman is of high rank, it is not a one-time consumption kind, and can be used repeatedly. As long as the fairy money can support it, the two day and night wandering gods can always exist in the world, and even be used After breaking up the aura gold, as long as the person who draws the talisman has the ability to put the finishing touch on that talisman, he can still order the two gods to appear. To be honest, 62 grain rain coins is a lot of money, but buying this piece is priceless There are still not enough talismans. So I am not buying talismans.”

After holding back for a long time, Li Bao couldn't help it, and said solemnly: "Little uncle, I'm very sad that you see me out like this."

Chen Pingan patiently explained: "I and you, and your elder brother, don't see each other, but I still need to see each other with the whole Fulu Street Li family. You pawned the talisman at the temporary pawn shop of the little master uncle. Finally, the Gu Yu money can be sent to Longquan County by Master Maoshan. Your grandfather is now a Nascent Soul Immortal born and raised in our hometown. There is probably no shortage of various magic weapons. It must be the best of the four surnames and ten families, but the more god money, your grandfather must be better now. Although the magic weapon at the bottom of the family can be sold for money, there is no need to worry about selling it, but for Qi practitioners, unless it is with yourself Spiritual weapons and magic weapons that do not match the way are generally not willing to make a move."

Li Bao beamed, "It turns out that my junior uncle is still thinking of me. I blamed my junior uncle for being rude and disrespectful. I have sinned."

Li Bao began to apologize to Chen Pingan in a dignified manner.

After Li Bao stood up straight, Chen Ping stretched out his hands, pinched her cheeks, and joked with a smile: "Because Xiaobao hasn't grown up yet, hurry up and pinch her cheeks."

Li Bao stood still, his eyes narrowed into crescents with a smile.

Chen Ping finally watched Li Bao run away.

Mao Xiaodong had been waiting for a long time to go to the mountain gate of the academy.

The two left the academy, walked through the main street, and turned into the Baimao Street. Only then did Chen Pingan quietly hand over the talisman to Mao Xiaodong.

Mao Xiaodong glanced at it and put it in his sleeve.

The old man Gao Da asked Chen Pingan with ripples in his heart, "This talisman has never been seen before, and the material is also weird. There is a saying."

Chen Pingan used pure martial arts to form a line, and replied: "It is an ancient talisman on the authentic Danshu, called Day and Night Traveling God Real Body Talisman, the essence is in the word "real body", the book says that it can connect the gods themselves. It is not the general Taoist talisman school that relies on the aura of a little talisman to summon the gods and dharma, which looks superfluous in appearance, but this talisman is mostly divine, and it is said that it contains a divinity."

Afterwards, Chen Pingan explained in detail the technique and precautions for controlling this talisman.

The more Mao Xiaodong listened, the more surprised he became, "Where did such a precious talisman come from?"

Chen Pingan ignored his personal grievances with Li Baozhen, and only said that someone entrusted him to give Li Baozhen an amulet.

Mao Xiaodong smiled and asked, "You just leave it to me."

Chen Pingan said: "In the hands of Master Maoshan, everything can be used to its full potential. I am a martial artist who uses talismans, but I don't know how to use them. I haven't learned the most authentic method of the authentic alchemy book, so it is easy to damage the original source of the talisman. Any talisman After being enlightened by me, they all belong to fishing in the dry lake."

Mao Xiaodong said something strange, "Well, I have learned it myself."

Chen Pingan was a little puzzled.

Mao Xiaodong didn't say anything.

As expected of the little junior brother who called Cui Dongshan a money-giving boy, he really gives gifts and spreads money when he sees people.

The two were walking on Baimao Street, and Chen Pingan asked: "Xiaobao skipped so many classes because of my little uncle, isn't Lord Maoshan worried about her studies?"

Mao Xiaodong said: "Li Baocai is the one who has learned the most in our academy. Knowledge, there are so many sage books of various schools and sages in the library of Shanya Academy. It is just reading, which is very interesting. If you are not sincere and enlightened, the book The words on the book are very delicate and arrogant. Those words will not grow their own feet from the book, move away from the book, and run into the stomach of the scholar. Li Bao is very good. The words in the book explain some truths , not too big, not only grew feet, lived in her stomach, but also went to her heart, and finally, these words returned to the world, and sprang out from the heart, grew wings, and went to her. Selling charcoal ox carts for the old man, landed on the chessboard where she watched chess without saying a word, and ran away from the place where two naughty children persuaded and helped the old woman. It seems that these are trivial things, but they are actually quite remarkable. We Confucian sages, haven’t we been pursuing this all the time? The three immortals of reading, the later generations often salivate over the three characters of speech, merit, and virtue, but they don’t know that the word Li is the root. How to be able to stand, Stand firm and learn a lot.”

With his hands behind his back, Mao Xiaodong looked up at the sky of the capital, "Chen Ping'an, you have missed a lot of beautiful scenery. Every time Xiaobao went out to play, I followed quietly. This capital city of the Sui Dynasty has such a turmoil. After the little girl in red appeared, it felt like she came alive."

Mao Xiaodong put it more emotionally, Chen Pingan was simply a little happy, happy that Xiaobao had achieved something in the academy.

Mao Xiaodong said suddenly: "Now you are reading both Confucianism and Legalism, then I will remind you a few words, if Confucianism is miscellaneous but not refined, it will be easy to muddle up, as if everything can be found in books. It makes people confused, especially when encountering issues involving right and wrong. But you should also pay attention to why throughout history, there has never been a monarch of a country, I am willing to publicize it openly and respect legalism alone.”

Before Chen Pingan could speak, Mao Xiaodong waved his hands and said, "You too underestimate the capacity of Confucian sages, and the strength of Confucian sages too."

Mao Xiaodong sighed softly: "Do you know how the sages view the level of a certain line of knowledge?"

Chen Ping smiled and said, "I definitely don't know about that."

He subconsciously took off the wine gourd. Mao Shanzhu's heartfelt words, served with wine, tasted very good, and Chen Pingan could linger on them endlessly.

Mao Xiaodong pointed at the crowds of people on the bustling street, pointed a few times casually, and said with a smile: "For example, Confucianism makes people match each other, and Legalism makes people go far."

Chen Pingan was thoughtful.

Mao Xiaodong said: "This is just my opinion, it may not be right. Take it if you think it is useful, chew it as a side dish, and throw it away if you think it is useless. It doesn't matter. There are so many good words in the book, it doesn't matter. Seeing how the world cherishes and understands it thoroughly, my half bucket of knowledge, Mao Xiaodong, is really nothing."

Chen Pingan drank and did not speak.

Mao Xiaodong was silent for a moment, looking at the bustling streets of the capital, he couldn't think of a certain bastard's casual remark, "It is often some beautiful mistakes, some extreme ideas and a few inevitable things that push history forward. by chance."

Mao Xiaodong's thoughts drifted away, and when he came back to his senses, he still didn't wait for Chen Pingan to speak, the old man turned his head and said in surprise: "At this moment, I shouldn't say a few polite words about Master Maoshan being very knowledgeable, not to belittle oneself."

Chen Pingan was speechless.

Mr. Qi, Sword Fairy Left and Right, Cui Chan.

Next to the tall old man.

Chen Ping always felt that the disciples taught by Mr. Wen Sheng were too different.

Just looking back, Cui Dongshan and Pei Qian, who are "under my door", seem to be in a similar situation.

If possible, Cao Qinglang from Ouhua Blessed Land will be added in the future, and everyone will be different.

I remember that it was said in an elementary school book that spring is when a hundred flowers bloom.

Makes sense.

In the twilight, Chen Pingan and Mao Xiaodong have not yet returned to the academy.

Cui Dongshan's courtyard was overcrowded for the first time.

Li Bao, Li Huai, Lin Shouyi, Yu Lu, thank you.

Plus Pei Qian and Shi Rou.

Lin Shouyi and Xie Xie sat at the two ends of the Green Bamboo Corridor at Qingxiao Ferry, each breathing and practicing.

With her hands and feet tied up, Shi Rou felt that there was no place for her to stand in the academy, and she was even more uncomfortable in this courtyard.

Chen Pingan has roughly mentioned some of the origins of Li Huai and others, or their cultivation strength.

Li Bao's second brother, Li Baozhen, Shi Rou has seen before, he is a very ruthless man.

It is said that Li Huai's father was a martial artist of ten realms. He almost killed Song Changjing, the king of the Great Li Dynasty, and even climbed the mountain alone to demolish the patriarchal hall of Tongyezong with two fists.

Chen Pingan did not mention Yu Lu's identity, but Shi Rou already knew that this young and tall scholar was a pure warrior of the eighth realm.

Xie Xie's current identity is said to be Cui Dongshan's handmaid, Shi Rou only knows Xie Xie was a genius of cultivation in a great dynasty.

Shi Rou stood at the gate of the courtyard, intentionally or unintentionally keeping a distance from everyone.

Shi Rou knew that these people came to study in the Sui Dynasty for the first time, and Chen Pingan was "the master of the house" along the way. According to what Chen Pingan heard when chatting with Pei Qian and Zhu Lian, Chen Pingan was the second or third at that time. Sakai Takeo

Why do these people who are the pride of heaven in any great dynasty seem to think that Chen Pingan, a foreigner who has just come to the academy, thinks his arrangement is very natural, even a matter of course

Li Bao was copying books in Cui Dongshan's small study.

Pei Qian and Li Huai lay on the green bamboo floor at the entrance of the main house, took out Cui Dongshan's favorite chessboard and chess jar, and began to play five sons.

The rules are the same way that Cui Dongshan pitted Pei Qian badly.

Yu Lu sat cross-legged between the two, Pei Qian and Li Huai made an appointment, and each of them had three chances to ask Yu Lu for help.

Yu Lu, who is on two boats and serves as a dog-headed military adviser, is more focused than Pei Qian and Li Huai who often bicker.

Shi Rou felt that she was an outsider.

But she is obviously the owner of a pair of immortal sloughs, and she has a bright future, and her future achievements may be higher than everyone in the courtyard.

If it is replaced by any Zongzitou Mountain Gate in Baozhou, she should not be enshrined

Here, everyone is polite to her, but that's all. The politeness reveals an undisguised alienation and indifference.

Shi Rou couldn't figure it out.

Finally, the Cai Mansion sent the cheap old ancestor out of the house like a god of plague.

From Cai Jingshen to the cooks in the kitchen, everyone felt relieved.

Probably the only ones who were slightly disappointed were those pretty maids who had the opportunity to serve that handsome fairy.

Cui Dongshan left Zhoucheng, did not go straight to the capital, but lived in a Taoist temple in the capital.

An elderly Taoist priest in the Taoist temple presides over the rituals of fasting and saves people into Taoism. Therefore, the elderly Taoist priest who has the honorary title of "Master" on the Taoist genealogy visits him in the name of discussing Taoism and Xuan Tan.

Wei Xian knew very well that the old Taoist must be a big spy who was planted in the territory of the Sui Dynasty.

This is not surprising at all. When Cui Dongshan had nothing to do, he showed Wei Xian a list of dead soldiers and spies who were still dormant in various parts of Dali in the Sui Dynasty. Of course, the spies who have not been unearthed More.Many of the names above are circled with Chinese ink brushes. Cui Dongshan said that they specialize in selling information. They belong to double-faced spies.

It's just that Wei Xian was somewhat unexpected, although the old Taoist is undoubtedly a big spy, but after finishing a brief report, he and Cui Dongshan each sat on a futon, discussing things and talking about the world.

Hearing this, Wei Xian dozed off.

After the old Taoist left, Cui Dongshan pointed to the futon opposite and said, "Sit down while it's hot."

Although Wei Xian sat down, he didn't sit on the futon, but just sat on the ground.

Cui Dongshan took out an antique small case table from the things close at hand, which was filled with the four treasures of the study, spread out a piece of exquisite paper that was probably made by the imperial court, and began to immerse himself in writing.

Wei Xian asked: "Why did Mr. Cui change his mind temporarily, leave Cai's house, and run to the capital in a hurry, but stopped here?"

This is a question that Wei Xian can't figure out.

Cui Dongshan didn't look up, didn't give an answer, but digressed and asked a question: "Do you think people's hearts are not complicated anymore?"

Wei Xian nodded and said, "Naturally."

Cui Dongshan was once recognized as a great calligrapher in the Divine Continent of China, and his brush strokes are smooth and smooth, even if Wei Xian looks at it from a distance, he still finds it pleasing to the eye.

Cui Dongshan continued to write the summary of all the spies, and slowly said: "People's hearts seem unpredictable. In fact, it is far less complicated than you imagined. The world is greedy for life and afraid of death. This is human nature, even The nature of all living things is different from beasts because of the deep love for licking calves, the love for children, the inheritance of incense, and the rise and fall of families and countries. Right, the more outstanding a person is, the more obvious a certain emotion will be."

Wei Xian thought for a while, "That's the reason, but there are more people who are vague and balanced."

Cui Dongshan stopped writing, put it on the porcelain pen holder, shook his wrist, and sneered: "What is balance, you are just a fool, with a vacillating mind, drifting with the flow, seeing beauty's lust, seeing money and fame, wanting, wanting, Yes, but I’m afraid of overreaching. Liu Qingfeng, Li Baozhen, Wei Li, and Wu Yuan, these four people are smart melon seeds, but they also have various shortcomings and problems. Wu Yuan, who is the prefect of Longquan County, agrees with my achievements Theory, even my disciple in name, was only beholden by the empress who ate fast and practiced Taoism in the Changchun Palace in the early years. I think that everything I have today is a reward from my empress, so I am vacillating between personal favors and state affairs. , life is very tangled."

"Li Baozhen's request is not unusual, and it is not as conforming to Confucian orthodoxy as Wu Yuan's. It is for meritorious service. One day, he will be an extremely human minister, but Li Baozhen doesn't understand the wisdom of being stupid for the time being. Right now, he just knows how to pretend to be stupid. But the world The so-called smart people are nothing but worthless."

"Huang Tingguo and Wei Li, relatively speaking, among the four people are the most mellow and Confucian, the most important in their hearts, they are the mountains and rivers, the country, and the common people. But the structure is still small. I have seen the land of a country and the customs of a century, and I am not used to seeing a continent. land and plan for a millennium."

"I like Liu Qingfeng, the county magistrate of Little Qingluan Kingdom, among the four. It's a pity that he doesn't have the qualifications for cultivation and can live up to a hundred years. He is really jealous of talents."

Wei Xian was a little surprised when he heard this.

Mr. Cui is willing to describe others as "excellent talents"

In fact, Wei Xian has been chewing on Cui Dongshan's so-called theory of human heart.

Cui Dongshan grabbed a stack of low-level espionage from a few cases and threw it to Wei Xian, "It's the latest failed poem by the imperial examination scholars of Dali and Sui, and it's one of the ways I use it to relieve boredom when I'm bored. "

After Wei Xian caught it, Cui Dongshan said: "You probably want to ask me how to judge the depth and direction of people's hearts. It seems feasible, but in reality, things are unpredictable. People's hearts fluctuate. Maybe an accident will produce many temporary changes. , is still extremely troublesome, and extremely difficult to be accurate, so it can’t be regarded as real knowledge, right”

Wei Xian nodded without denying it.

Cui Dongshan smiled, and pointed to his head, "Practice on the mountain, in addition to longevity, there will also be spiritual light here."

Cui Dongshan then flicked his wrist and sprinkled a lot of fairy money on several cases, "The division of the hearts of the adults I mentioned earlier can be supplemented by the counting skills of the masters of all schools, from one to ten, respectively. If you judge, you will find that the so-called ups and downs of people's hearts will not affect the final result."

Before Wei Xian could speak, Cui Dongshan said with a smile: "One to ten is still not accurate enough, so what if it can be one to one hundred?"

Wei Xian said with emotion: "This method of the artisan has always been regarded as a small way in Haoran Tianxia. Isn't it always respected by merchants with a bad reputation? Can you still use it like this? Could it be that besides Confucianism, you are also an artisan?" one of the advocates of

Cui Dongshan sneered and said, "Artists are also worthy of my respect."

Cui Dongshan stood up, "I even want to explore the distinction between god and man, the three souls and six souls, and the most subtle things in the world. A little artist, kung fu on paper is nothing."

Wei Xian held the stack of papers filled with poems written by the scholars of the two countries, and was speechless in a daze.

Cui Dongshan detoured for thousands of miles, and finally got back to the question Wei Xian asked at the beginning, "I know everything about the academy inside and out. The only variable now is the one who has no power to restrain the chicken." Mr. Zhao."

Wei Xian wondered: "An elderly scholar and a Confucian sage who sits in a small academy are confronting each other, and the former can cause waves. Besides, according to Mr. Cui, Mao Xiaodong is not a rigid Confucian, how can there be mistakes. Furthermore, According to Mr.'s explanation, the Emperor of Sui would never dare to do anything to Li Bao and Li Huai unless he committed suicide."

Cui Dongshan stared blankly at Wei Xian, with disgust on his face, "Think about it carefully, I reminded you before, stand taller and look at the problem."

Wei Xian was shocked.

Cui Dongshan rubbed his cheeks with his hands, and said with a sneer, "The emperor of the Sui Dynasty lies in Guozuo, but the people behind the scenes, do they care about the death of Dali and Dasui, and the destruction of jade and stone? If one or two people are assassinated, the layout of a continent can be determined The trend, will Wei Xian be tempted by you? The businessman's disciples will be happy to see it succeed. War, you will make a lot of money, and you will earn more. As for the strategists who like to sneak around and hide behind many scenes, they will be even more so."

Wei Xian's mood was agitated, and his hands trembled a little.

This is the way of life that the founding emperor of Nanyuan Kingdom really yearns for

chaos

Everything up and down the mountain, emperors, generals, immortals, masters and gods, all have to be engulfed in the tide of the situation, and they are all pawns that cannot be controlled.

It's just that Cui Dongshan seemed to have thought of something sad, wiped his face, and Qi Qiran said: "Look, I have such great ability and knowledge, but now I'm doing nonsense calculations and calculations, but It's the meat cut from the mosquito's legs, and it's a small business. The old bastard is happily trying to get the whole Baozhou, and I can only look after his home nursing home, staring at a place like Da Sui, doing a Taoist temple in a snail shell, and family business Too young, so I can only mess around. I also have to worry about a bad job, and I will be expelled from the teacher by my husband."

Cui Dongshan stretched out his hand and clenched his fist, pounding heavily on his heart, "Old Wei, my heart aches."

Then Wei Xian looked at the boy in white who was rolling all over the room, and then looked down at the failed poems in his hands that were said to show his true temperament.

He wasn't heartbroken, just tired.

The Gao clan of the Sui Dynasty treated literati generously and kindly, which has been a tradition since the founding of the country.

Not to mention a new top scholar like Zhang Dai. Although he is still in the Hanlin Academy for the time being, he already has a Sanjin courtyard with ten rooms in the capital, which is paid for by the imperial household department.

At dusk that day, Zhang Dai took a walk in the empty courtyard, fed a few red carp in the big tank, and then went to the study to write music by himself.

Zhang Dai was born in the Han nationality in the local area, and his art writing articles in the county examination and township examination were remarkable, but he was not amazingly talented.

After becoming the No. 20 man, he moved to this house. The only change was that Zhang Dai hired a coachman and a carriage. Besides, Zhang Dai didn't have too many banquets and entertainments. It's hard to imagine that this talent A young man in his early [-]s is the new Wen Kui of the Great Sui Dynasty, and it is even more unimaginable that he will appear in the Cai family's mansion, speak out generously, and finally be able to leave in the same carriage with Miao Ren, the Dragon Bull General who has made great contributions to the founding of the country.

All of this, whether it is Cai Feng or Miao Ren, is considered to be reasonable. Zhang Dai has a very valuable status as the number one scholar. He is passionate, so he is easy to control. I feel that this person is willing to take the lead for the sake of the righteousness of the family and the country.

When Zhang Dai heard the knock on the door, he stopped playing Go to play the score, looked up and said, "Come in."

It was the old coachman who borrowed in the house.

The old man stood at the door of the slightly dark study, and said slowly: "Mao Xiaodong has left the academy with a young man named Chen Pingan."

"Aren't they clamoring to kill the literary demon Mao Xiaodong? Just kill them."

Zhang Dai said with a blank expression: "Let Nei Ying in the academy find a reason to let Zhao Shi and the white deer leave the academy together, find a secluded place, knock him out and hide, and after controlling the white deer, you must not Make Liang Rensi, the Nascent Soul cultivator who is the gatekeeper, suspicious, as long as he enters the academy smoothly and act decisively, one must die, two would be better."

The old man nodded.

Zhang Dai hesitated for a moment, "I will leave Da Sui capital tonight."

The old man smiled and said: "After this matter is done, the young master will surely be able to travel thousands of miles when he returns to the Divine Continent of Central Earth."

Zhang Dai was noncommittal.

After the old man left.

Zhang Dai put down the chess record in his hand and looked down at the chess game.

Vertical and horizontal.

In the southeast of Baozhou, on the edge of Qingluan Kingdom's capital, is a private mansion with little reputation.

The young man who was one of the spy chiefs of the Great Li Lubo Pavilion had a gloomy face.

Everyone in the hall has different identities, they are all masters of pen and knife in Qingluan Kingdom's official circles and literary circles, and of course they are confidantes who have been wooed by the Great Li Dynasty.

Li Baozhen looked at the ground, and twirled his fingers around the teacup that he didn't even drink.

Everyone trembled.

The reason why they gathered here was to do one thing.

Liu Jingting, the gentle suzerain and leader of the literary world of Qingluan Kingdom, the old servant Liu Jingting who has retired to the Lion Garden, used a pen to drive Liu Jingting into the mud. The clothes and crowns form a cohesive force.Qingluan Kingdom still needs a scholarly forest with rich literary style, but it does not need a thriving Liu Jingting.

As long as Liu Jingting's reputation is ruined, those well-dressed families will fall apart.

Dali is willing to see this scene, even the emperor of Qingluan Kingdom will feel that each has its own advantages and disadvantages, so that it will not be hindered by those outsiders who can't distinguish the situation, and these guys who don't know how to follow the customs of the country will dictate the government of Qingluan Kingdom every day Every day, when he was full and sat there criticizing current affairs, then the Emperor Tang would be able to share the spoils with Dali, and win over those aristocratic families respectively.

But tonight, more than a dozen people present here used all their family backgrounds and influences to criticize Liu Jingting, and almost turned out every article written by Mr. Liu, looking for loopholes word by word in poems and official documents.

I never thought that the effect would not be significant, but it also aroused the public outrage of the vast majority of literati in Qingluan State. Some officials in the court who originally disagreed with Liu Jingting's political views, as well as many local Confucian scholars, couldn't stand it anymore and began to speak out for Liu Jingting say.Especially those well-dressed aristocrats who came here from the south were so angry that they ran around for Liu Jingting, so that even the gossip that Liu Jingting was about to return to the center of the temple and was promoted to Minister of Rites began to spread in the capital.

Li Baozhen raised his head and said with a smile: "Everyone, don't be nervous. This matter was not done well. The door didn't get popular, but it turned black. I fell a big somersault. I, Li Baozhen, was the first to be stabbed, and it will be your turn after that. If Master Guoshi understands, maybe he will think that we are forgiven, change the chessboard, and give us another chance."

It's okay not to say these "comforting words". When Li Baozhen said this, everyone felt a chill down their backs.

The hair is creepy.

Candles flickered in the lobby.

Of course Li Baozhen was extremely annoyed.

At this moment, two figures appeared on the other side of the lobby, one walked in and the other stayed outside the door.

Seeing the scholar in Confucian shirts walking into the lobby, Li Baozhen felt a little helpless. He thought that he would be able to do a good job by bypassing this person.

The man's voice was not loud, and he said slowly: "Everyone here, it's already half done, and there are still three small steps to go."

"The first step is to suspend the offensive of pouring dirty water on Liu Jingting, turn around, and praise the old servant. In this step, there are three links. First, everyone and your friends, first throw out some Zhongzheng's peaceful and prudent articles. , make a final conclusion on this matter, and try not to make your articles unconvincing. Second, start to invite another group of people to deify Liu Jingting. After his death, he moved to the Confucian Temple to accompany the sacrifice. Third, write another batch of articles, criticizing all the officials and celebrities who defended Liu Jingting. Indiscriminate. The worse the wording, the better, but be careful, roughly The purpose of the article on the Internet must be to describe everyone as Liu Jingting's helpers, likened to running dogs."

At first, when everyone in the hall heard the person's first words, they all sneered in their hearts and slandered endlessly.

It's just that the more I hear it, the more I feel that the rules are novel

The man continued: "The second step is to wait for a while, then turn around and point at Liu Jingting alone. It requires some small skills. All articles, purposes and roots, are all based on the wording of "even if". For example, although Liu Jingting has some moral flaws, the flaws are not concealed. His disciples have produced many talents, and you can list them one by one. After all, it’s still clean and honest, it’s just a famous lion garden in Banzhou.”

The man explained: "Why is this so? Because to the onlookers, these articles seem to be calm on the surface, and they are also defending Liu Jingting. Many neutral people who did not get involved in this literary battle have started to Acquiescing to those assumed facts, coupled with the so-called excuse of hidden murderous intentions afterwards, is to make matters worse."

Everyone in the hall looked at each other.

The man smiled and said: "The third step is to make a fuss about personal morality. For example, if you ask someone to catch a knife, you don't need to care about the quality of the writing, you just need a gimmick. , Another example is the lion garden and the beautiful maid's pear blossom pressing the crabapple, and by the way, I will write some catchy doggerel and make it into a storytelling story, please tell the storytellers and the Jianghu people to play it up."

Seeing that everyone was shocked and puzzled, the man still patiently explained: "Don't think it's useless, poor scholars without fame, love to read this, and ordinary people who don't care about the truth love to listen to it. Tiger. In the marketplace, mosquitoes gather into thunder."

The man finally laughed, took out a piece of paper, walked up to Li Baozhen, handed it over, and looked around, "Everyone here may not know the way to engrave an erotic book, the price, and how much money should be paid to those storytellers I have written all kinds of trivial things that are not worth mentioning on the paper, lest you accidentally be taken advantage of, and many small people who do business, although they are low-ranking, are actually quite cunning and intelligent, each with their own unique characteristics. If you use the way of life, if you give them a big advantage in money, maybe you will despise you."

The man bid farewell and left.

Approaching the door, he suddenly turned around and said with a smile: "Everyone is in front of me, so I have the opportunity to show off my small skills here. I hope I can help you a little bit."

Everyone stared blankly at the man leaving.

Li Baozhen's mouth was parched, and he tightly clenched the paper in his hand.

The rest of you are even more numb.

You must know that person's name is Liu Qingfeng.

It is Liu Jingting's eldest son.
