Chapter 3 The Knowledge of Sacrifice Wine

It turned out that there were huge toxic fleas in the cracks of the rocks on the dry island, one by one, which seemed to be golden beetles. They jumped out and bit people when they saw them. The speed was amazing, and the most fatal thing was that the number was amazing!

Being attacked by such a terrible poison, five more people died when they crossed the swamp.

Although poisonous fangs seem to be omnipotent, they can only do anything in such an environment, as if no matter how sharp the knife is, it is useless to cut on cotton that is not subject to stress.

Among the five dead people, two were sucked to death by leeches, and three were poisoned to death - the venom on the giant fleas was also very fierce. Even after their bodies were photographed into a pool of meat paste, their sharp heads would be stuck in the flesh and blood of the human skin, which made people feel extremely painful.

More importantly, although Xiang Xiong can remove the poison of these giant fleas, the first is that he has no time to solve it. Second, even if he removes the poison, the warriors will have no ability to act for several days. They have to rely on people to carry the action, and they will drag more people down, so they can only give them some pleasure.

After these people finally relied on Guizhen Box to extradite the swamp, they encountered great trouble again. It turned out that after crossing the swamp, a clear stream appeared in front of them. When Lin Fengjin heard such a coincidence, he felt that these grandchildren must have been fooled.

How could such a coincidence happen in the world? A man was covered in rotten and smelly mud. He also wanted to have a good rest. After cleaning the wound, a stream appeared in front of him!? Is there really such a good thing in the world that everything he wants is accomplished?

At this time, although Xiang Xiong realized that he was not very good at trying to stop him, he found that the water of this clear stream was not poisonous, so he hesitated for a moment.

According to common sense, there is no threat to the unpoisonous stream. Unfortunately, a group of people scrubbed their pants and clothes in the stream. The mud and sweaty smelled on their feet naturally flowed downstream, awakening some of the vicious monsters sleeping downstream of the stream.

This is a very ferocious water spider, the size of a fist, the long legs are at least more than a foot long, and when it appears, it is a piece of black. When it smells sweat, it comes to the ground in an astonishing amount, and is fearless and death. Any deworming medicine is ineffective.

In order to avoid these water spiders, the group had to temporarily interrupt their rest and escape frantically.

As a result, I made a mistake in my busy schedule. When I escaped, I accidentally entered the maze again, and I didn’t even have the chance to mark it. The maze was like a stone forest. Once I rushed in, I was surrounded by stalagmites of all sizes, tall and short. Once I didn’t make any marks, it was really hard to fly.

Fortunately, at this time, the elite among the selected poisonous fangs stood up and successfully broke the formation. Among the poisonous fangs sent in this time, there were ten people, even the strong ones who were well-known in Lu Yu's heart. Among these ten people, Yang An and the other three survived.

After crossing the stone formation, the crowd was exhausted and continued to walk forward, but saw a strange river again.

The water in this river actually seemed to be made of mercury, flowing gurgling. Needless to say, the river water is highly toxic, and the river channel is very wide, it is impossible to swim over. They walked along the river, but they caused a large number of zombies. The corpses of these zombies were soaked in the river water. Once killed, they would explode. The splashing body fluids and rotten flesh would pose a great threat to the surroundings. Therefore, there was no way to fight and could only escape.

Finally, the group of people finally discovered a bridge in front of them that could cross the river. This place was called Naihe Bridge. At this time, there were still twenty people left in the Poison Fangs. Xiang Xiong ordered eight people to cut off the rear. Among these eight people, Yang An was the leader. Since the people from Poison Fangs came, they did not take their lives seriously and had nothing to say.

After a hard battle, five of these eight people died in battle. Yang An and the other two felt that the delay was almost done, so they lit the Naihe Bridge and planned to rush to meet Xiang Xiong. Unexpectedly, the people who built the building here even had the possibility of burning the bridge. The wood for building the bridge should have been soaked in venom. This way, it can be used to successfully prevent corrosion and moths, and it is also a killer weapon. After Yang An and the other two were poisoned, they vomited violently and lost their ability to move, so they could only tear open the talisman and return.

When Lin Fengjin heard this, he immediately felt that the three of them were lying.

Because the talisman teleportation location of Yang An and the other two should be set up in the same place as themselves. If this is the case, after they teleported out, since they were poisonous and vomited violently, they would definitely not be able to leave immediately. Then they would definitely need to heal their injuries and take medicine in time.

When Lin Fengjin came out, he only found the bodies of Xiang Xiong and Yan Shixiong at the teleportation point. He had not moved the emergency medicines left before, let alone the vomit, blood, etc. of Yang An and the other two were found.

Then there are two explanations. The first explanation is that Yang An and the other two retreated after Lin Fengjin and the others withdrew. This possibility is not without it. It is really very small. Later, Lin Fengjin should have speculated that Yan Shixiong and Xiang Xiong also led more than a dozen people with poisonous fangs to continue moving forward, and fought with the mysterious man for a battle, and finally the entire army was wiped out. It is impossible that they would have come out earlier than Yang An and the others.

The second explanation is that the talisman teleportation location of Yang An and others was not set in the same place as Lin Fengjin and others, which is the greatest possibility. But what is their motivation for doing this? To set a return location for the mother and child talisman, it requires a "son" talisman. You must know that the price and difficulty of the "son" talisman are four or five times that of the mother and child talisman. It can be said that the cost of spending is quite expensive and very amazing.

Lin Fengjin only knew that there were only two "zi" talismans in the entire team, so where did the "zi" talisman in Yang An and his friends come from? It is very likely that Lu Yu gave it. There is no doubt that the poisonous fangs are Lu Yu's personal guards and the people Lu Yu trusts the most. They should also have their own secret mission.

So what did they do after they escaped from danger?

Lin Fengjin pondered for a while, but heard Cui Zhijie's next story was quite simple. It was nothing more than that after some difficulties and obstacles, Yan Shixiong and Xiangxiong reached their destination and found that there were actually three altars. They acted separately and finally got the map of mountains, rivers and the country on the altar on the left. On the altar on the right, you can see the jade seal of the kingdom, but it was intercepted by the mysterious man who suddenly rushed out. With every move, he killed all the poisonous fangs that had rushed up and even the dragon-turned fangs!

At this time, Yan Shixiong and Xiangxiong knew that they were invincible and hurriedly activated the Returning Mother and Child Talisman, but the mysterious man actually had a unique ability. With a press of his palm, it seemed as if he could extend the time infinitely, so that the Returning Mother and Child Talisman, which took effect in an instant, actually had an astonishing delay!

In order to cover Xiang Xiong, Yan Shixiong pounced on Xiang Xiong's back to cover him. In order to cover him, he was kicked on the back and died tragically on the spot. The remaining momentum of that kick never faded, and even severely injured Xiang Xiong. Fortunately, the mother-child talisman finally took effect after returning, otherwise Xiang Xiong would not survive if he had to add a single finger.

After hearing this, Lin Fengjin suddenly took a deep breath and said:

"They said that there are three altars in the ghost place... The one on the left is the map of mountains, rivers and states, and the one on the right is the seal of the imperial examination?"

At that time, the right was the most important, so if you were demoted, you would often call it a left-handed movement in letters, while the promotion was a right-handed movement. Therefore, in the order of placement, the value of the map of mountains, rivers, and country is under the imperial seal, so it is normal to place it on the left.

"But..." Lin Fengjin said in disbelief: "But how could the imperial seal be placed on the right side!!"

Cui Zhijie heard Lin Fengjin's words and said with a wry smile:

"Brother Lin should have seen it. In this cemetery, the strangest thing is this. Among the three altars, there is the map of mountains, rivers and the country on the left, and the jade seal on the right. Then the things placed on the altar in the middle should be the most precious. What should be placed?"

Lin Fengjin pondered for a while and said:

"Didn't Xiang Xiong say it?"

Cui Zhijie said:

"Xiang Xiong divided the manpower into three groups at that time. Yan Shixiong went to obtain the map of mountains, rivers and the country. He went to obtain the imperial seal himself. Only two people were sent to the altar in the middle, but these two people died under the mechanism, and I don't know what was placed on it."

Lin Fengjin smiled and said:

"This distribution method really fits Xiang Xiong's character. However, although the altar in the middle has not been explored at all, I almost guessed what was placed."

Cui Zhijie, Eunuch Cui said:

"Oh? Would you like to hear it carefully?"

Lin Fengjin laughed and said:

"I don't believe you didn't guess, so I'll take me out and push the tank."

A glimmer of light appeared in Eunuch Cui's eyes and said with a smile:

"A person who works in the inner palace like this, at least he will be cut off by his tongue. So if his ancestors pass on a sentence, a thousand words are worse than silent."

Lin Fengjin nodded slightly, but did not continue Cui Zhijie's words and said, and pondered for a while before saying:

"I thanked Eunuch Cui for running back and forth these days, and I feel very sorry for Eunuch Cui, so I don't know whether to say it or not..."

Eunuch Cui's eyes lit up:

"Young Master Lin said it clearly."

Lin Fengjin said:

"I handed over the world's No. 1 soup to the emperor. The emperor has been doing everything every day. Of course, it is impossible to have the heart to manage these small things. According to my analysis, it is mostly handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If outsiders see the world's No. 1 soup, they only think it is a piece of fat. But in the following opinion, both my father-in-law and his grandsons should stay away from this. This is not a nest."

After listening, Eunuch Cui's face suddenly became gloomy and he pondered for a long time before saying:

"This... Master Lin, is there something wrong with the world's number one soup?"

Lin Fengjin shook his head and smiled:

"Oranges grow in Huainan, which are oranges, and those grow in Huainan, which are tangerines. The leaves are similar, but they actually have different tastes. If the same orange tree is transplanted to different places, the taste of the fruit will completely change. The owner of the world's No. 1 soup may only be the Lin family who deserves such a signature name. If it is replaced by someone else, it will not be the world's No. 1 soup."

Eunuch Cui nodded, and on the surface he bowed his gratitude, but he was a little skeptical in his heart. Lin Fengjin saw all this and knew everything. However, Eunuch Cui was very cunning and smart. He really had a big mistake in the next day, and he had to take his own love.

***

Three days later, when Lu Yu went to court, he suddenly announced that there were many illegal things in the world. Therefore, he was taken to the inner palace for use. At the same time, the left assistant minister, who was secretly Lin Fengjin's spokesperson, was impeached by the censor and was impeached for misconduct and used for another job. The martial arts jacket in Lin Fengjin's home was taken back.

Obviously, in the eyes of many officials, this is the sign that Lin Fengjin lost his "holy favor".

But, so what??

Lin Fengjin is not a person without foundation. He is an absolute disciple of Donglin Academy. Donglin Academy is a "monarchy" in the court of Northern Qi. Lin Fengjin has not graduated from the academy at this time and is the junior who should be cared for. It is obvious that Lin Fengjin is brave enough to take responsibility and has not made any mistakes. So so many elders are there, what losses can he suffer?

Some people just wanted to secretly make some trouble, but the next day, news came. Although the Left Minister lost his position as the Minister, he was summoned to the palace the next day and served as editor of the Hanlin Academy. He taught and offered wine in the palace! This made many people's eyes turn red.

You know, the minister is indeed powerful, but there is a position of the Secretary above to be stuck with you. However, Master Zuo’s editor of the Hanlin Academy is a rare and noble position. Often, those who want to be prime minister must have such a resume, just like the current graduation of the Central Party School... It is even more amazing to give lectures and sacrifice wine in the palace.

Emperors also need to charge. They need to read books, and the books they read are nothing more than the Four Books and Five Classics. What should I do if I see them and don’t understand them?

Then it depends on what books you read. For example, the Minister of the Shangshu will explain the difficulties to him. For example, if you don’t understand the "Spring and Autumn Annals", there will be ministers who specialize in studying the Spring and Autumn Annals. Such a position is called "learning".

Although you have no real power to hold this position, you are a great killer to gain fame! Why? Because you teach the emperor, you are already an imperial teacher! This is a super cool saying. After you die in the future, these two words can be carved on the tombstone.

What does it mean to add a sacrificial wine to the end of the lecture? The word sacrificial wine makes others so envious. Because there is competition between the "sacrificial wine" and everyone is willing to show their faces in front of the king, right?

For example, today I encountered a problem: What is the latest domain name of Caoliu?

Many great sages know about this problem, but everyone wants to show their faces. What should we do if there is competition? Of course, it is impossible to go together, or if someone posts first, I will wait for a like. At this time, those with the title of "Sacrificial Wine" will have priority. If there is no, I can only hate the one who is itchy.

Originally, Lord Zuo was a third-rank minister, but he was dismissed at once. The family must have been filled with sorrow. The next day, when the imperial edict came, although the Hanlin Academy editor was only a fourth-rank editor, it was equivalent to being demoted. After learning the news, the Zuo family immediately became crowded with bright lights.

Although Lord Zuo pretended to be frowning on his face, he pretended to say repeatedly when he was socializing with his colleagues, "Thunder and Rain are all kindnesses of the Lord", he actually called the Seventh and Eighth Empresses to serve the bed and flew together. It is said that he laughed out loud when he was dreaming at night.

Of course, some people are happy and some are worried. When Lord Zuo was exiled openly and secretly, Xu Jiashi of the Ministry of Personnel and Luo Zhongshu of the Ministry of Personnel were scolded for being demoted, but these two people were the direct descendants of Wan Helin. They were driven out of the capital. If Wan Helin broke his arms, it would be equivalent to having one leg broken.

The personnel changes of the Ministry of Justice are quite subtle. Although the position of Xiang Ju's minister has not changed, the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice who promoted him to be deposed were demoted. However, three Legal disciples were promoted and placed in the Supervisory Office, the Law and the Criminal Prison to serve real power.

Simply put, it reduces the number of people who hold senior positions in the Ministry of Justice, but also promotes a group of Legal disciples who can do things to the grassroots middle-level level to do things. Lu Yu's meaning is actually very clear, hoping that the Legalists will not fall into party struggles that attack internal friction. However, it means that the grassroots promotion of Legal disciples means that as long as the Legal disciples are talented and able to stabilize the country, it can also be selected.

***

Seeing that four or five days later, the ministers seemed to understand Lu Yu's intentions, and the matter gradually settled. The shock in the court in Yedu had slowly calmed down. Lin Fengjin was studying at home, and suddenly a eunuch ran directly to his home. He didn't say anything extra. He just asked Lin Fengjin to kneel down, brought Lu Yu's original words, and then stuffed Lin Fengjin a package.

Lin Fengjin opened the package and found that there were a stack of military newspapers and a small jar inside.

After picking up the military newspaper and looking at it, Lin Fengjin found that the seals on it were all top secrets, and the words written on the first military newspaper were:

"General Wu Gu, the scimitar, attacked and killed the imperial envoy, and was suspected of returning to Xirong!"

When Lin Fengjin saw this news, he immediately understood that the cause and effect he had planted before had begun to explode. For his own selfishness, Qin Qu, this guy, took the cost to make the Zhongtang court suspicious of Wugutu. The key is that Wugutu itself does have unclean parts.

Under such circumstances, how dare Wugutu let the imperial envoy enter the pass and investigate carefully, it would only reveal more. Wugututu was also a decisive person. He immediately decisively attacked the imperial envoy, and then blocked the news. He rushed to nearby Zhuting and Han County overnight with the imperial envoy's seal. Both places stocked up a large amount of grain, and moved the food that could be moved back, and burned the food that could not be moved on the spot.

At the same time, Wugutu began to plunder food among the people and artificially create a food shortage. The hungry people around the neighborhood alone reached 300,000.

According to reliable information, among these hungry people, there were also people who had mixed in the black bone dyke as the core, and successfully directed the public opinion of the hungry people to the new king of the middle Tang Dynasty. At the same time, they sent people to write a manifesto, saying that Li Jian's death was full of doubts, saying that the current king was inappropriate in his throne...

With this pair of steps, it can be said that the national strength of the Middle Tang Dynasty was instantly reduced by 30% due to internal friction!

Does Wugutu want this? In fact, he doesn't want the first one to jump out as a target. If he has a choice, he is more willing to stay on his territory and wait and see the situation.

However, all the imperial envoys sent out. The most terrifying thing was that the famous "Zhu Qingtian" in the middle Tang Dynasty, who claimed that he would never wrongly accuse a good person or let a bad person go!

This can only force Wugutu as the weak side, and he can only take the initiative first------------ Although Wugututu to a certain extent, he was quite wronged and wronged, Zhu Qingtian should not wronged him, but Wugututu is also a bad person. Some of the things he did are really a rebellious and cannot see the light!

And who could have thought that all this was just a commander of the Iron Guards of Xuanwu Sect to ensure that his power was not strong? In the end, it was a tragedy that Qin Qu accidentally took Lin Fengjin, a top-quality snake-seeking incident...

***

Seeing that a seed that she had shed in the past had grown into a towering tree, Lin Fengjin smiled with a sense of accomplishment.

He then opened the second military newspaper, which marked the troops and garrisoning situation of several key passes between the Northern Qi and the Middle Tang.

The third military newspaper said something more confidential, which was actually the list of generals who were instigated in the mid-Tang Dynasty. Among them, the highest position had even reached the position of deputy general.

Looking at this series of things, Lin Fengjin was silent. Obviously, Lu Yu was moved after realizing the civil strife in the Middle Tang Dynasty! After all, the ability to occupy the Central Plains to make a great cause. Although the Northern Qi occupies the elite land of Yan and Zhao, it is still not as rich as the Central Plains. With this wonderful opportunity at this time, of course he wants to expand his territory.

After pondering for a while, Lin Fengjin naturally knew that Lu Yu would like to show him these military newspapers that only the cabinet ministers were qualified to read, so he picked up his pen and wrote in a hurry:

"The dragon in the Great Lakes is hidden, the deer in the Central Plains is barbaric, the sniper claws are strong, and the clam shell is still stubborn." (To be continued)
