Chapter 482 The ghost king is like a god, and the secret of heaven is deeper
"You kid still want to be lazy? The emperor directly issued an order to appoint you as the deposed envoy of Jiangnan Province and asked you to inspect the governance of Jiangnan officials. How should you deal with it?"
The deposed envoy was an official position established by Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty in the eighth year of Zhenguan. The famous Li Jing once served as the deposed envoy to inspect the performance of officials in various places.
This official name is very easy to understand, there is no special allusion, it is just a combination of words.
"Depose" means to belittle, and "Zhi" means to promote.
The combined meaning is to examine the performance of state government officials over the years. If they do well, they will be promoted. If they do poorly, they will be demoted, dismissed from office, and in serious cases, they will be beheaded.
As the largest gang in the south of the Yangtze River, the Power Gang has connections with countless martial arts families, wealthy families, civil and military officials, and has countless underworld businesses.
The order to investigate the case was nominally to inspect officials from various state capitals in Jiangnan, but in reality it was to eliminate the power gangs.
With the current size of the power gang, it is bound to be an extremely bloody fight. In order to prevent the innocent people from being affected, the painstaking efforts are no less than a war.
Li Jinyu is a Marquis of Jinling County, a general on the battlefield, and has many friends in the world. He is very good at making troubles and is the best candidate to depose the envoy of Jiangnan Road.
Wu Zetian "knows people and makes good use of them". If she decides to use troops to help with power, Li Jinyu will definitely be in charge of the affairs.
Xu Ruowu had already thought of this after reading the intelligence. Before Li Jinyu arrived, he had made multiple plans to weaken the power gang.
In these plans, Xiao Qiushui, who has a hatred against the Power Gang to destroy his family, has extraordinary talents, outstanding luck, and has many adventures, is a very important move.
Li Jinyu said nonchalantly: "Your Majesty may have had this idea before, but now he has to shelve it.
The threat of the Supreme Grand Master is too great. She will never take a heavy blow until Wu Ming's identity, secret cards, and allies are investigated clearly!
What your Majesty needs to consider is to maintain a state of balance. Wu Ming, an unexpected person, is equivalent to setting off a sky-covering hurricane on a calm lake.
Before the storm is calmed down, His Majesty will not act rashly to avoid causing chain changes.
This is the emperor's helplessness. It seems that he is commanding all things with golden words, but in fact the first thing he has to do is to suppress his temper and restrain his heart."
Xu Ruowu said with a smile: "In life, everyone has their own helplessness. Even a land immortal like Zhenren Zhang doesn't care about the inheritance of the sect?"
Li Jinyu said: "If there really is a person in the world who can be unscrupulous and worry-free, he will either be a madman or he will be beaten to death."
Xu Ruowudao: "Maybe, but I always feel that you might know something."
Li Jinyu said: "This disciple is running some businesses in the Western Regions, and his partners are the Ji family."
Xu Ruowudao: "Ji Bingyan? I remember that he is just a descendant of the Ji family. The family has many inheritances, but he has no advanced martial arts skills, otherwise he would not go into business."
Large families with long heritage and scholarly families basically don't think much of business.
Although they all understand that they need to do business to earn enough gold and silver to support their family's consumption, most of the caravans are run by descendants of the descendants.
Of course, the descendants of the collateral line run the caravan, but the financial power of the family is firmly in the hands of the direct lineage.
If the family is not prosperous enough, they will support some white gloves and let them run the caravan. Ji Bingyan, who is directly in charge of affairs, is "bringing shame to the family."
However, he is currently the only one left in their branch, and Ji Bingyan can do whatever he wants.
Li Jinyu said: "Just because the Ji family is a branch of the family, it doesn't mean that they don't know much. Business is Ji Bingyan's business. The previous generation of their family was purely a scholarly family.
You may not know that Ji Bingyan's parents once studied at Changgemen, under the tutelage of two supreme elders, Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan, and were quite accomplished in calligraphy.
The brushwork that Ji Bingyan uses today still bears traces of the two old gentlemen, and is even better than his parents.
It is said that the two old gentlemen, Lian Yan and Liu, praised him a lot and were delighted that he had a successor."
Xu Ruowudao: "Is there such a thing?"
Li Jinyu said: "Didn't you notice? Although Chu Liuxiang, Hu Tiehua and Ji Bingyan are close friends, relatively speaking, Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua are closer, while Ji Bingyan feels a little more distant."
Xu Ruowudao: "So what? Is there any record of direct lineage in Ji Bingyan's family?"
Li Jinyu said: "The Ji family has inherited swords, guns, swords, fists, palms and legs for thousands of years, and has various orthodox martial arts. Not to mention a thousand, there must be a hundred. Why doesn't Ji Bingyan practice authentic weapons and use the judge's pen instead?"
Xu Ruowudao: "Why?"
Li Jinyu said: "Because the branch of the family where Ji Bingyan belongs is equivalent to the historian of the Ji family, responsible for recording documents, historical evolution, and major events in the world.
Each generation of the Ji family will carefully copy the family books using the characters of the era in which they lived. After the copying is completed, the calligraphy will be perfected naturally.
If other branches of the Ji family do something proud, they will also be asked to record it."
Hearing this, Xu Ruowu thought of the Ji Ruyu family's collection of books. Most of them were ghostly talismans from ancient times. Even with Xu Ruowu's erudition, he couldn't identify even one ten thousandth of them.
Great books, all wasted!
Those are all precious cultural treasures!
People will one day turn into dry bones, but the knowledge recorded in books is passed down and developed from generation to generation.
Even if one day those words are criticized as fallacies and heresies by later generations, at least they can tell future generations that this is a crooked path and it will not work.
As an erudite and talented scholar, Xu Ruowu respects books very much and often feels it is a pity for him.
Xu Ruowu nodded: "If every branch of the Ji family does this, it will definitely be the greatest wealth in Chinese history, thousands of generations more precious than the He clan's jade."
Li Jinyu said: "Master, don't worry, my disciple will one day gather scholars from all over the world to record all the books from ancient times to the present, whether it is collections of classics and history, folk tales, or even country nursery rhymes!"
Xu Ruowudao: "Since you are a historian, how could other Ji family families let them decline?"
Li Jinyu said: "You underestimate the Ji family. Even the historians have many branches. The Ji Bingyan family is just one of them, and it is a collateral branch among the historians!"
Xu Ruowudao: "Where is Langya Pavilion?"
Li Jinyu said: "In Langya Pavilion, there are direct descendants of the historian lineage. Among the seven great elders, four are from the Ji family. They are all great scholars with profound knowledge."
This special branch of Ji family historians is not to be said to be insignificant. Even "prophet" like Li Jinyu has no idea about it and has never heard of it.
A few days ago, the clan elders who were direct descendants of the historian learned that Li Jinyu had obtained a collection of books from Ji Ruyu's lineage and wanted to exchange them for some ancient books. Li Jinyu only learned of this.
Xu Ruowudao: "Where are the direct descendants of the Ji family?"
Li Jinyu said: "A few days ago, Ji Bingyan sorted out the family's collection of books and sent me a piece of information.
The Ji family has no direct lineage for a long time. Direct lineage is just their own term. In other words, those who have a complete inheritance of innate power are the direct lineage of the Ji family.
Nowadays, there are about five branches that can master the innate power, and the one who is most likely to take action should be that crazy and arrogant woman-Ji Beiqing!"
Ji Beiqing, known as the "Mrs. Moyu", is as beautiful as a fairy, charming and extremely arrogant.
Most beauties in the world take it as an honor to be on the beauty list. Even Jin Bingyun once confidently said that if he had been born a few decades earlier, he could have replaced Yan Jing'an and become the leader of the beauty list.
Ji Beiqing regarded it as a shame.
I am a direct descendant of the Ji family and I am as noble as a phoenix. How can I lower myself to be compared with pheasants and sparrows?
On the one hand, the Ji family is relatively reclusive, and on the other hand, there are Ji family members in Langya Pavilion, so Ji Beiqing was not included in the list of beauties. There are very few people who know about her.
Xu Ruowu is not entangled in this matter. If it is Ji Beiqing, he can confirm it by asking Yuchi Mingjing.
"What kind of martial arts did Yuan Tiangang use?"
Li Jinyu said: "A unique skill that contains Tai Chi, Liangyi, Bagua and Yili. My disciple feels that it is very similar to the secret skill of the hidden sect Tianji Sect - Dream Wuji!"
Xu Ruowudao: "Dream Wuji? How many methods do you remember? Show me how to use them."
Li Jinyu said: "Disciple is offended!"
The dense purple energy condensed in the palms of his hands. Li Jinyu held the ball with both hands. The two qi of yin and yang condensed in the palms of his hands. He stepped on Bagua every inch and struck Xu Ruowu with one move of Baguazhang.
Xu Ruowu narrowed his eyes slightly and took action.
After a while, Li Jinyu walked out of Xu Ruowu's study and went to Wangshu Courtyard where Yuchi Mingjing lived.
Li Jinyu looked slightly shocked.
Xu Ruowu told a secret that when he was training in the Western Regions, he once studied at the Tianji Sect.
Xu Ruowu's understanding of yin and yang and the five elements, Bagua Yili, and medical divination all come from Tianjimen.
According to Xu Ruowu, the strongest secret of Tianji Sect is not Wuji, but a mental method related to the sun, moon and stars, which is the biggest secret of Tianji Sect.
Not to mention the essence of this mental method, Xu Ruowu doesn't even know the name of this mental method.
Of course, Xu Ruowu is not a person who concentrates on enlightenment and comprehends the secrets of heaven. He is just an outer sect disciple. It is normal for him not to know the core secrets. However, Xu Ruowu has secretly tested it, and even the inner sect disciples are not qualified to practice this method.
This method requires you to become the master of Tianji Sect and practice Dream Wuji to perfection, then you can be qualified to practice it.
If it were in other places, Xu Ruowu might steal it secretly, but in a place like Tianjimen, there are hidden weapons everywhere, and everyone is very clever.
A brave person like Xu Ruowu would not dare to be too presumptuous in this place full of gods and ghosts.
The Tianji Sect does not prohibit disciples from leaving, but they must resolve the cause and effect. Xu Ruowu left behind a whip technique to settle all grievances and have nothing to do with the Tianji Sect.
Li Jinyu was shocked. Did you leave the Thousand Miles Whip Thunder of Tianjimen? Wasn't Liao Rushen deceived by you? You were really capable when you were young!
Li Jinyu was reviewing the incident at home, and other major forces in the capital were also busy reviewing the incident.
On the one hand, sum up the gains and losses, check for omissions and fill in the gaps.
On the one hand, wait for the opportunity to gain profits.
The martial arts forces in Luoyang City were cleared. When Wu Zetian announced the lifting of martial law and the restoration of stability, he could send out people to reap the benefits.
