Seeing this scene, Lin Fengjin couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. The wild boar killed two demons before. It seemed to be an earth-shattering and very exciting fight, but if we really talk about the strength, it is far worse than the Legalist in front of him.
Wow, with such magical power, to put it lightly, you simply regard this arrogant demon as nothing, and take his life as if you were picking something out of a bag!
These arrogant demons don’t know what fear is. After seeing their own kind being killed, they actually became more and more crazy, roaring and charging at them with all four of them!
The Legalist laughed, took a deep breath, spread his arms, and stood as straight as a pine. At this moment, Lin Fengjin saw a bird appear behind him.
A huge illusion of cranes passing by.
Although it was daytime at this time, there seemed to be a star shining in the sky, which was an omen of a big star shining in the sky. The founder of Legalism, Han Fei, was the true destiny star, and even passed down the secret secrets.
This allowed ordinary disciples to sense the vast power of the Heavenly Secret Star. As a demon star, Lin Fengjin's senses were particularly keen, and he immediately discovered that a large amount of the Heavenly Secret Star Power was coming.
Lin Fengjin had intuitively fought against people who possessed Tianji techniques. Even Yin Qingyue, the deputy head of Tianchang Academy, had personally experienced his tricks that were infused with Tianji star power. But at this time, this person's skills alone
At this time, he can mobilize the absorbed star power, which is vast and surging, more than ten times what Yin Qingyue mobilized back then!
Immediately afterwards, rays of light shone, and four bronze-colored rays of light actually flew out from the long sleeves of the Fajia family. This light grew when it saw the wind, and quickly grew in size in the air, and suddenly turned into four bronze-colored rays.
The huge pillar has two ancient and indistinguishable large characters inscribed on it, but behind the large characters, there is a vague hint of indescribable ferocity and cruelty.
Around the giant pillar, there were several long chains floating in the air, which were suppressed one after another from top to bottom. The four demons roared repeatedly, but they showed no resistance at all. And the fluttering chains were suppressed one after another.
The chain held the lock tightly and finally tied it to the huge red copper pillar.
The Legalist suddenly made a spell and murmured. He didn't seem to make any sound, but he seemed to have said two more words. After hearing these two words, Lin Fengjin's heart suddenly trembled. It turned out that what he said
It turns out to be the two words "gun" and "brand"!!
This type of torture is a form of torture in the Shang Dynasty. It is said that it was invented by Su Daji. It is very violent and cruel, and is particularly famous.
I saw that after the Fa family member used his magical power, the four giant bronze pillars immediately began to slowly turn red. The four demons tied to them suddenly let out a shrill scream and struggled wildly.
, but it was of no use at all. Gradually, the skin became charred and the flesh became rotten, then took on the appearance of coke, and finally disappeared into ashes. It disappeared into bursts of black smoke.
Immediately afterwards, this Legalist talent fell from the sky calmly and calmly. Only then could he clearly see his appearance. He looked like a slender scholar in his forties. He had a sparse beard under his chin, and he looked like someone from the countryside.
A gentle and gentle teacher, there was no trace of his tyrannical strength that wiped out four demons with just a few clicks. Moreover, Lin Fengjin always felt that he looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.
The Legalist took a few steps forward. He nodded slightly to Lin Fengjin who was on the Wanghuo Tower and said:
"This must be Mr. Lin Fengyulin. I would like to express my courtesy to the Fa family."
Obviously, Lin Fengjin did not expect that the Legalists would be so kind to him. He was stunned for a moment before saying:
"Hello Mr. Xiang..."
At this time, behind Xiang Ju, more than ten Legalist disciples suddenly jumped out. They all appeared to be light when crossing the fire scene. They were obviously very skilled, relying on the four huge red copper pillars burned by the cannon and the incoming fierce energy.
The fierce battle with the demons showed no sign of weakness. What surprised Lin Fengjin was that the more than ten Legalist disciples performed the ancient Five Punishment Swordsmanship that was not tolerated by the mainstream Legalists!
Witnessing this scene, Lin Fengjin couldn't help but said in surprise:
"Mr. Xiang, what's going on?"
Xiang Ju smiled and said lightly:
"The sectarian views among Legalists have really troubled our sect for hundreds of years, so much so that our sect has been in internal strife. Fortunately, our sect has not exhausted its strength. Recently, we have reached a consensus. From now on, we will only
We should engage in verbal disputes instead of fighting each other with military force. At this time, our Legalists have reunited as one, and there are no longer divisions and internal strife."
Lin Fengjin was immediately shocked. To be honest, anyone who heard this would be extremely surprised. However, Xiang Ju continued to say with a smile:
"We, the Legalists, have always upheld fairness and integrity. Back then, we heard that Mr. Lin had also studied at Tianchang Academy under our Legalist sect. A series of incidents occurred later. Based on our careful investigation, we finally came to the conclusion that at that time,
Among Tianchang Academy,
Deputy Mountain Chief Yin Qingyue and others did have secret and illegal activities, so what happened back then was unfair to you. Besides, our Tianchang Academy has never removed your student status. If you are willing to come to our Legal Academy Academy for further studies in the future, I will
Legalists will also welcome it."
Lin Fengjin was stunned for a moment again, almost unable to believe his ears. What did this mean? The dignified legal family actually gave in to him? Even though he was already famous at this time, he would not let this tradition that has been passed down for thousands of years go away.
The school of thought should be subdued, the reasoning behind this is puzzling. It seems that Lin Fengjin is as cunning as a fox, and he is also very confused. He doesn't know why the Legalists suddenly made such a move.
Youdao is to reach out and not hit the smiling person. The grievances between Lin Fengjin and the Fa family are neither small nor big, and there is no conflict of interest. The Fa family took the initiative to show their goodwill and not cause trouble for him. Lin Fengjin just wanted it.
, knowing that this Xiangju was a senior, so he didn’t dare to take advantage of him, so he came down from the fire-watching tower to talk to him.
While talking, Lin Fengjin realized that the three brothers in Xiang Ju's family were named Sancai. Among them, Xiang Ju was the second eldest, and Xiang Lie, who Lin Fengjin had once met once, was the third eldest.
The three brothers of their sect all had outstanding talents, and Xiang Lie won the trust of Liu Qu, the king of Nanzheng. By chance, he fell into Liu Qu's eyes in vain and was appointed as an inspection envoy, but he never passed the destiny.
During the great catastrophe, he was ambushed and killed outside Hecang City by the Zhongtang Dynasty.
While the two were talking, Lin Fengjin even discovered that the more than ten disciples brought by Xiang Ju relied on the cannon-burning magic weapon to form a formation to resist the evil demon. The result was remarkable. In this short period of time, three more disciples were killed.
The demon with one head was beheaded, and two more demons were suppressed by the magician's seal. They clung to the red-hot red copper pillar. They struggled fiercely but still couldn't get rid of it. After a moment, they were about to turn into
Fly ash.
Lin Fengjin's vision is also very vicious. The Legalist disciples are so strong. This is definitely not a matter of strength, but rather because the Legalist disciples are fighting in a targeted manner. If you think about it carefully, the Legalist disciples are located in the four corners of the country.
, and taking root in a borderland like Xirong, there should be quite a lot of monsters and monsters encountered in daily life, so it is not unusual to have some targeted methods.
At this point, the war has come to an end. The only thing that can stop the advance of the army is the more than fifty demons, which are very ferocious. The demon worshipers follow them, and they can release all kinds of magical powers with confidence and boldness.
Law, the combination of the two complements each other.
However, at this time, when the more than fifty Kang Demons attacked Lin Fengjin, only forty remained. Lin Fengjin then set up multiple ambushes to isolate the Kang Demons from ordinary demon worshipers.
Because of the connection with the believers, at least a dozen more demons were killed. If the Legalists showed up at this time, they would have killed a dozen more demons. The remaining ten demons could no longer make any waves.
Therefore, after the fire in the trenches around the fire watch tower gradually extinguished, it can be said that the overall situation has been decided. Although the demon worshipers once again reunited with the demons, it was of no avail. The previous ambush formation from all sides was unfolded again.
Slowly shrink the encirclement. At this time, it can be said that things are different from the past - the number of demons is too small, and many of the remaining ones are injured and dying. The few remaining ones are
If the assault force produced by the enemy is not enough to break through the encirclement, then the entire army will be destroyed.
Seeing that this massacre has come to an end, it can be regarded as a successful conclusion. Lin Fengjin naturally accepted the good intentions of the Legalists who suddenly appeared. He had already been recruited by the Mohists of the Millennium School.
Being targeted, the hatred between the Legalists should naturally be resolved if possible.
Tianchang Academy is the first academy that Lin Fengjin worshiped as a disciple. In any case, it should have some incense feelings ------- and this incense feelings must be there, otherwise if the word spreads, Lin Feng
Jin has become an ungrateful person. In addition, Lin Fengjin witnessed Xiang Lie's calm and righteous demeanor back then, so he still regarded himself as a disciple in his speech, and his attitude was quite low.
After realizing that the overall situation had been decided, Xiang Ju had already drifted away with his disciples.
At this time, Lin Fengjin chewed the taste again, and realized that the Legalists could actually come to support him when he was trapped and there was no need to delay, which showed a deeper meaning-------Lin Fengjin
To kill the demon worshipers, it was a joint operation involving government officials, policemen, snake-eating troops, and the former imperial guards. However, the Legalists were able to show up at the most critical moment, which is enough to show that they have placed someone in the court.
The hand, and the status of the hand is not low, otherwise, how could Lin Fengjin come in as he wanted without knowing it at all?
After Lin Fengjin thought for a while, he said:
"Go and ask for General Liu."
Lin Fengjin saw it very clearly. The Legalists should have been lurking among General Liu's subordinates, and then jumped out and appeared.
General Liu, whose name is preceded by the word "wen", is Lu Kang's deputy general manager of the Royal Forest Army. He wields great power and is the kind of person who is low-key and wields great power. Unexpectedly, he is actually a member of the Legalists!
Even though this joint operation involves various complex human elements, without the cooperation of General Liu Wen and Liu, the Legalists would never have been able to quietly appear at the most critical moment. It is as if
It is a national military exercise, and ordinary people are absolutely not allowed to come and go at will, let alone an actual killing of demon worshipers with real swords and guns?
It was obvious that Liu Wen had been prepared for Lin Fengjin's summons, and his attitude was very low when he came in. He didn't have the airs of a third-grade general in the imperial court. He actually looked ashamed, knelt down and clasped his fists, and said he was guilty of death.
Lin Fengjin obviously didn't expect this kind of thing to happen - Liu Wen was also an important general of the country, but he actually did this to him! He immediately jumped up as if his buttocks were on fire, and was shocked.
road:
"General, why are you doing this?"
Lin Fengjin is a cautious person. Although Liu Wen is probably on the blacklist at this time, he is still a high-ranking general. If he accepts this gift in a harsh way, what if it spreads to Lu Yu's ears?
It would be bad if you go inside and leave a domineering reputation.
However, Lin Fengjin also underestimated his weight at this time. Although he has no official position now, there are many discerning people in the officialdom. Some people have even secretly evaluated that Lu Yu can often see Lu Yu at this time, and in front of him
The people who spoke, including Lu Yu's relatives, were no more than twenty in the entire Northern Qi Dynasty. Ruolun's influence on Lu Yu, including the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, Lin Fengjin, a scholar who was still studying at Donglin Academy, could be ranked
Into the top six!
After the two are added up, it can be seen that Lu Yu's trust in him is probably comparable to that of the six ministers.
More importantly, Lin Fengjin's own family is also rich, and he is responsible for at least 30% of the Snake-Eating Army's logistics in disguise. In this way, his status in the Snake-Eating Army can be at least ranked among the top five. Such a person
If people think that he is white, if they think that he is just a scholar who is easy to deceive and deceive, I am afraid that he really does not know how he died.
And Liu Wen was originally an old minister of the late emperor. The late emperor suddenly "died suddenly" after returning from the summer resort. This had many people murmuring. Then Lv Kang even "killed relatives for righteousness", and even his brother Lv Xian was directly demoted.
The common man showed his ruthless side even more.
For Liu Wen, he had indeed committed a taboo. If Lin Feng kept it in his mind and made a stumbling block, or even slandered him, it would be normal for him to abandon his post, so his attitude was to be relaxed.
Got so low.
Lin Fengjin was not a god either. How could he have known that there were so many twists and turns inside? He helped Liu Wen up dumbfounded, and after careful questioning, he found out that Liu Wen himself had nothing to do with the Legalists.
His father owed a huge favor to the Legalists in the past, so he came to visit him and said that he had heard about the siege and suppression of demon worshipers and was willing to help, so he volunteered.
Liu Wen thought about it again and again, and felt that this kind of thing was not a big deal, so he nodded and agreed. He didn't expect that the Fa family would cause such a big fight. Naturally, he was very frightened.
He handed over a pot of "elixir" given to him by his family.
Lin Fengjin took a look and found that the elixir was well refined. Taking it for a long time could indeed prolong life. But how could he want Liu Wen's stuff? So he handed it back to him and warmed it up.
Say a few words of comfort.
After clearing up the doubts in his heart, Lin Fengjin asked Liu to continue. He still had a lot of things to do. Although the battle was over and it could be regarded as a complete victory, there were still many things left.
There are still a lot of things waiting for him to do, such as the screening of prisoners, interrogation, reporting of meritorious personnel lists, rewards, pensions for casualties, and compensation for civilians who were accidentally injured, all of which must be done in an orderly manner.
sorted out.
Of course, these seemingly trivial matters can be left to others to do, but Lin Fengjin knows that according to Lu Yu's temperament, he likes to read these documents, so Lin Fengjin must also do a good job
These things must not only be done well, but must also have their own characteristics...
Fortunately, at this time, Lin Fengjin was not alone like he was in the middle Tang Dynasty. There were not too many old officials on his father-in-law's side. It was easy to transfer two people to help, and let them handle the complicated and redundant documents. Lin Fengjin
I'm going to check it carefully, and I think it will be completed successfully after two or three updates.
However, just when Lin Fengjin started working, someone suddenly came from outside and announced that a visitor was coming. Lin Fengjin immediately frowned and said to the boy:
"Didn't I tell you that you are busy with official business and there will be no visitors today?"
The young boy muttered:
"Sir, Mr. Min from the academy is here to visit. I dare not refuse you."
Lin Fengjin was shocked when he heard this. Strictly speaking, Min Zhen was already at the level of a great Confucian and was of the same generation as Wang Jingzhi. However, he was a disciple of Lu Jiuyuan, so he seemed to be of the same generation as him. Moreover, Min Zhen usually treated Lin Fengjin very well.
Just more
He was taken care of. Because of this, Lin Fengjin also respected Min Zhen very much. When he heard that he was visiting late at night, how could he dare to neglect him? He hurriedly ordered his servants to pour tea and water. Lin Fengjin himself did not say anything about bathing and changing clothes, but he had to tidy up at least.
Appearance matters.
Soon, Lin Fengjin saw Min Zhen in the side hall next to him, and found that he had a worried look on his face, and he was also a little curious. The relationship between the two was also a teacher and a friend, so they didn't pay much attention to etiquette.
Let’s get straight to the point:
"Master Min came here late at night. He must have something important to do. Please just speak up."
Lin Feng was anxious, but Min Zhen sighed, took a sip of the fragrant tea next to him, and then said slowly:
"Did you know that today, Mr. Li Qizhi, the Minister of Rites, came to the table to express his opinion about Duke Zhang. Your Majesty was angry and refused, so he complained of illness. It was approved two hours ago."
Li Qizhi, the Minister of Rites, was also a great scholar of the Donglin sect. He was highly trusted by the late king Lü Kang. Min Zhen also worshiped under his sect when he was studying the Four Books and the Five Classics, so he respectfully called him Sir.
Li Qizhi was already a hundred years old at this time. His official career was up and down, and he looked down upon all kinds of fame and positions.
Lu Yu wants to kill his younger brother Lu Xian as a scapegoat. In his eyes, it violates the etiquette handed down from ancient times. Even if the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, thunder and rain are all the king's favor, but in ethics
To put it bluntly, Lu Yu is his younger brother, so it would be immoral to kill his own brother.
Therefore, the old minister repeatedly wrote letters to argue, hoping that Lu Yu would practice "benevolence and forgiveness". In the end, he had no choice but to resort to the minister's killer weapon, which was to say that he was sick and wanted to go home to recuperate.
The meaning of this is actually to express your position to the king, if you do this, I will fire you and leave it to you to decide. This method and people in love sometimes argue too much, and they often
If one party stands up and says let’s break up, it’s the same thing.
People who complain about illness may not be ill, and people who say they want to break up may not really want to break up. This is actually just a statement.
Logically speaking, the king should not worry about the matter of a minister reporting illness. Instead, he should first go to comfort him and express his condolences. This is the proper procedure. However, Lu Yu did not act according to common sense.
, just say directly, okay, you go back to recuperate, I will help you...
In fact, Lu Yu had no intention of replacing him at first, but Li Shangshu was the person who was used by the late emperor, so there was already some estrangement. And Lu Yu's new accession to the throne would have to use the characters in his pocket to meet his needs.
He had been annoyed by the old man these past few days to make room for others, so when he saw that he was sick, he took the initiative. Now, even if Li Qizhi was in good health and could go up to the fifth floor without gasping for breath, he was really sick.
Then retire and return home.
After Lin Fengjin heard this, his face remained calm, but he was a little confused in his heart. What could he do with this kind of thing? Did he hope that he could persuade Lu Yu to take back his life? This was obviously impossible, Jun Wu said jokingly.
This is not a joke.
But I heard Min Zhen sigh again:
"You have been busy arresting demon worshipers recently. I'm afraid you are a little unfamiliar with the court. But you know that on the day you ascended the throne, Zhou Tinggu, He Wen, Hu Li, and Lin Gu, and Xu, these five officials have been demoted or moved. Recently,
In the past four days, six more ministers, including Yang Hu, Mi Yi, and Gu Ming, have left their posts?"
Lin Fengjin was shocked when he heard what Min Zhen said, because the officials Min Zhen mentioned were not only in key positions in the court, but they all had the same characteristics without exception, either.
Either they are pro-Donglin Academy, or they are simply from Donglin Academy! In other words, in a short period of time, the influence of Donglin Academy in the court of Northern Qi has dropped by at least 30%!
This end was a bit alarming. Lin Fengjin couldn't help but look around before whispering:
"Could it be that your Majesty has the intention to cleanse my Donglin lineage?"
Min Zhen smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"That's not true. To be honest, the influence of our Donglin lineage in the court is a bit too great. Although there is no partisanship between us, at this time of the change of government, it is not enough for so many people to be eliminated.
It's normal. What's more important is that no matter how many people you eliminate, you won't be afraid of any misunderstandings from the academy, but it's because of your existence..."
Lin Fengjin couldn't help but laugh bitterly, but after thinking about it, it was the same. Obviously, as long as his status as a disciple of Donglin remained in front of Lu Yu, the academy would be able to feel at ease. Lin Fengjin thought about it.
, couldn’t help but said again:
"Then why did you come to see me today?" (To be continued...)
