Volume Four, Three Southern Counties, Chapter 376, No Culture
Jingzhao Mansion.
The new emperor became increasingly worried.
If it was said that the storm was about to come before, then now it is the beginning of the storm.
There are changes everywhere.
"Master Xu, I didn't expect that the new emperor's position would be so difficult. Several of the royal elders already want me to go down." The new emperor said with a bitter smile.
"If you change someone else, there may not be a better result." Master Xu said slowly, "This is not your fault, Your Majesty, but the shortcomings left behind before."
"Among the three sects, Zhongnan Temple and Shenwu Sect have become completely independent, each controlling the territory of a county. The three southern counties have completely fallen into the hands of Pei Yunzhang, and they are monolithic."
"If the demon clan invades, there is a high probability that Pei Yunzhang will give up the territory of one county and defend the territory of the two counties. This can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. Pei Yunzhang will not fight to the death with the demon clan."
"I guess we should give up on Nanxiang County!"
"Then there is Jiangshui County. In fact, Jiangshui County's position is extremely embarrassing." Master Xu analyzed, "Whether we win or lose, I'm afraid it's not a good thing."
"What should we do? Abandon Jiangshui County and continue to retreat?" The new emperor asked, "Retreat to Shuizhou County? After all, Shuizhou County is the granary of the Zhou Dynasty and must be held in hand."
"No!" Master Xu retorted, "Shuizhou County must also be given up. Since this place is the granary of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it must be valued by many forces. They will seize Shuizhou County by any means to cut off the Great Zhou Dynasty.
's lifeblood."
"I even guess that the forces of the Black Mist Ruins have begun to contact the big shots in Shuizhou County, hoping to seize the opportunity to seize Shuizhou County."
Master Xu analyzed, "At this time, it is no longer cost-effective to invest a large number of soldiers and warriors in Shuizhou County."
"I didn't expect you, teacher, to have such a long-term vision. I thought you should let the teacher take on other positions as well." Xintei said with a smile.
Master Xu's analysis was exactly the same as that of the ministers at the Ministry of War.
"Then can the teacher guess who the Black Mist Ruins Sect in Shuizhou County contacted?" the new emperor asked.
"I have read the information on all the officials in Shuizhou County. It should be impossible for Zou Jingwei. He is a member of the Prime Minister You, and he was tied to a carriage." Master Xu analyzed, "So, the person contacted should be someone
He can also be a county magistrate or a county lieutenant."
"Among them, Li Jing is the most suspected. The Li family is a famous family in Shuizhou County and has great strength. Even if Zou Commandery is in Shuizhou County, his prestige is not as good as Li Jing's."
"His father serves as one of the six ministers in Jingzhao Mansion. If he rises up, the first thing he will do is arrange for people to enter Jingzhao Mansion and take his father away first."
"Then we can raise the flag of rebellion with peace of mind."
Master Xu said, "We can also forcefully detain his father in Jingzhao Mansion, but it will not be of much use. If a person becomes rebellious and has ambitions, nothing can stop him."
"It's nothing more than letting him bear the reputation of being an unfilial son."
"But in the face of big events, what does it matter if you bear a reputation?"
Master Xu said slowly.
He is not smart, he just reads a lot of books, travels across mountains, rivers and lakes, reads a lot of books, and meets a lot of people.
"Then we still want to detain Li Shangshu?" the new emperor asked.
"Of course he has to be deducted. Under the infamy, he won't be able to stay around for long. He won't become a true dragon. He will only be able to divide several counties for a few years." Master Xu said.
"Okay, I will order Li Shangshu to be controlled now." The new emperor nodded.
After talking about the business, the new emperor immediately remembered something, "By the way, I seem to have forgotten something. It seems that the teacher's primary school students are coming to Jingzhao Mansion to seek justice from me."
"He is here for the warrior in the trial field."
"I do owe something to the warriors in the trial field!"
The new emperor has a big head.
Master Xu didn't know about this yet, so he asked, "Then how did His Majesty decide?"
"I don't know, hasn't he come to Jingzhao Mansion yet?" the new emperor said, "He has just completed the challenge and received a great honor. If this is the case, I would not be able to refuse his request."
"It's just that it's really difficult now with internal and external troubles!"
"The treasury of the Great Zhou Dynasty is also tight. If he makes some excessive demands, I don't know what to do."
The new emperor rubbed his head.
"Understood, if my student comes to Jingzhao Mansion, I will talk to him first." Master Xu nodded.
Isn't that what the new emperor meant when he said this in front of him?
Let him go find Lu Jiuzhang and give Lu Jiuzhang a vaccination in advance.
Calm down Lu Jiuzhang's mood.
"The best thing is to trouble Master Xu." The new emperor smiled apologetically, "I also know that it is not easy for those warriors in the trial field, but I really have no energy left now."
"If the civil strife can be quelled, I will definitely bring justice to the warriors in the trial field and even reward them with a large amount of training resources."
"Great kindness!"
Master Xu nodded.
…
Shuizhou County.
There are still signs of singing and dancing.
It's just that there are more talks in the streets.
The large-scale invasion of demon clan is not a secret. In less than half a day, everyone in Shuizhou County knew about it.
Some students got up and decided to go to Jiangshui County and join the army.
There are also people who pack up their belongings and are ready to run away at any time.
Some wealthy businessmen began to recruit warriors to protect their courtyards.
I'm afraid that chaos will break out by then, and the mob will rob them before the monsters attack.
Lu Jiuzhang was walking on the street and felt a little touched when he saw these scenes.
During the war between the monster race and the human race, including some forces becoming independent, it was these ordinary people who were harmed.
The young prince Zhou Zheng stood on the right side of Lu Jiuzhang. When he saw this scene, he was deeply moved. "Master Jiu, do you think most cultivators are selfish?"
"I only care about my own cultivation and don't care about the people at all."
"They occupy a lot of resources and occupy high positions. But these ordinary people have the least resources and bear the most disasters."
Zhou Zheng sighed with emotion, "I have no education, so I don't know how to describe my inner feelings."
"It's a coincidence that I don't have much education. You can't describe it, and I'm half-assed." Lu Jiuzhang said with a smile, "What you said is the truth, but we can't change it. We can only try our best not to change our original intention."
"If you can still have such thoughts when you reach the second level of martial arts, or even the first level of martial arts, then that is a true great kindness! A true saint!"
The fat little Zhou Zheng thought for a moment, "It's really difficult! When I was young, I had great ambitions and intended to change the world, but when I get frustrated, I might take another path!"
"It's okay to do one good deed. What's difficult is to do good deeds throughout your life!"
