Chapter 103: Studying well and becoming an official, serving as a regent and entering politics
Outside Tianzhou City.
A long motorcade drove slowly along the official road.
The convoy arrived in front of the city gate, and the government officials guarding the city gate came forward to search.
"What's in the car?"
The officer asked as he opened the sack in the car.
"Well salt!"
A tall man with a scar at the corner of his eye stepped forward and said to the government officer.
The yamen officer who was searching suddenly felt darkness in front of his eyes and couldn't help but raise his head. He looked at the scarred man's face, his body trembled and he took two steps back.
"That, that, no problem, let's go in!" the officer stuttered.
The scarred man nodded slightly, then took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to the yamen servant.
"Entry tax!"
The yamen servant was a little helpless and took the broken silver, and quickly asked other yamen servants to get out of the city gate.
From beginning to end, the scarred man's face showed no expression, until the convoy all entered the city gate. He winked at his companions and left the convoy.
After passing through alleys, the scarred man came to a house and knocked on the dilapidated wooden door.
The person who opened the door was a short and thin man. When he saw the scarred man, he quickly welcomed him in.
In the courtyard, there were four or five men wearing sackcloth.
"Meet the Hall Master!"
The scarred man nodded and asked expressionlessly: "How is the situation?"
"Master, the Zhenwu Division has captured Wanfu Temple, and now all the sects in Tianzhou have surrendered," the short and thin man replied.
"Does this mean that the sect forces in Tianzhou are no longer able to stop Zhenwu Si?" The scarred man frowned slightly.
"That's right, Zhenwu Division has now become a major force in Tianzhou." said the short and thin man.
A fierce look suddenly appeared in the scarred man's eyes.
"How to break the situation?"
The short and thin man lowered his head and said, "The only way to break the situation is to kill Prince Xin'an."
"But Prince Xin'an is protected by many experts, and there is even an innate warrior."
"Previously, Xueyilou sent out ten ninth-level warriors to assassinate the King of Xin'an County, but the entire army was destroyed."
The scarred man began to think deeply, "The leader has a destiny and must not let Zhenwu Si enter Shuzhou."
"If we want to prevent Zhenwu Si from entering Shuzhou, we have to get rid of the Prince of Xin'an County. Otherwise, we~~" the short and thin man said helplessly.
He didn't explain what he said next, but the meaning was very clear.
Shuzhou is located to the west of Tianzhou. Compared with Tianzhou, the martial arts power in Shuzhou is much weaker.
There are only more than thirty sects in number, less than one-third of Tianzhou, and there are only two top sects, one is Baiyin Valley and the other is Holy Sect.
The man with the scar in front of him is Li Man, one of the four church leaders of the Holy Religion.
While the two were talking, Li Man suddenly raised his head and looked to the left.
"The bugs are here again!"
"You guys look for opportunities first. I'll be waiting for news from you at Ke Lai Xuan."
After saying that, he left the house and walked along the narrow alley.
After he left, several men in the house immediately hid in the house, and at the same time, a young man wearing a cloak quickly walked into the alley.
The young man looked at the direction Li Man left, with a look of doubt on his handsome face.
He looked around suspiciously, and after finding nothing unusual, he could only continue to chase after Li Man.
…
Jinlan Academy is a rather special sect in Tianzhou.
In Jinlan Academy, the disciples are divided into two groups, one group mainly practices martial arts, and the other group mainly studies Confucian classics.
But no matter what their main focus is, the disciples of Jinlan Academy are both civil and military practitioners, but their focus is different.
In the library.
Dean Mo Tianyu was sitting in a rocking chair, rocking gently, and the creaking sound echoed in the book attic.
Kong Jie stood nearby, frowning after reading the letter in his hand.
"Teacher, what does Zhenwusi mean?"
The letter was sent by Wen Su from the disciples of the Tianshi Mansion, and the content was the policy issued by the Zhenwu Division towards the Tianzhou Sect.
Mo Tianyu's eyes were slightly closed, with a faint smile on his fair-haired face.
"What do you think?"
"They want to control us?" Kong Jie said.
"Hey, your eyelids are still too shallow!"
Mo Tianyu stood up, his Confucian shirt hanging down, and his slender body was full of elegant temperament.
"What Zhenwu Si wants to control is not us, but the martial arts of the entire Tianzhou."
"As for this!"
He pointed to the letter in Kong Jie's hand and said with a smile: "This is a great gift to us!"
Kong Jie was confused, "Is this a gift?"
"Of course!" Mo Tianyu said affirmatively.
"Study the best to become an official, take the post to serve in politics, save for Gantang, and leave with the benefit of chanting."
"With it, you can serve as an official and govern in the future."
Jinlan College is a place for both civil and military education. Many of the disciples in the college are Confucian scholars. However, whether in the world or in the eyes of the court, Jinlan College belongs to the sect.
Sect disciples cannot enter the court as officials, this is an unspoken rule in Dali officialdom.
Although there is no explicit regulation, in fact, in the past ten years, the court has been weakening the power of the sect in the officialdom.
Mo Tianyu was an official at the beginning, and he participated in politics in a state. As a result, because of his relationship with Jinlan Academy, he was dismissed from his official position for a trivial matter.
In these years, although Mo Tianyu has been living a peaceful and peaceful life in Jinlan Academy, he still can't let go.
Kong Jie was startled, looking at the letter in his hand blankly, and after a long time he said: "It's just that the student feels inappropriate!"
In contrast, Kong Jie had no expectations of becoming an official because he had never been an official and never thought about becoming an official.
"If you are an official, you will be good at learning; if you are good at learning, you will be an official."
"If we, Confucian students, are unable to serve in politics, we will ultimately be short of merit."
"Teacher knows that you have no intention of becoming an official, but what about the other students?"
"Can they really just be a martial artist?"
Mo Tianyu said in a deep voice.
Kong Jie took a deep breath and said: "The teacher should consider everything comprehensively, but the students are too selfish."
Mo Tianyu smiled and said, "Besides, we have no other choice now."
…
As a letter drifted into the hands of many sects, many sect forces began to study the policies formulated by Qin Wei.
At first, they were all very dissatisfied with the Zhenwu Division's requirements. After all, not all sects wanted to join the Zhenwu Division and become officials like Jinlan Academy.
They prefer freedom and independence, and prefer not to accept the jurisdiction of the court as before and to be kings in the mountains.
However, facing the powerful Zhenwu Division, they did not dare to express hostility openly.
Therefore, many sects are prepared to take a look at the situation before making any further decisions.
However.
After disciples from the seven major sects including Tianshi Mansion, Luoxia Sect, and Lishan Sword Sect arrived in Tianzhou City.
Some sects began to waver.
The number of places is limited. If you don't join the Zhenwu Division, the sect's inheritance will be cut off in the future.
Faced with such a choice, they were very hesitant.
But there are also people with determined minds, such as Mo Tianyu.
The disciples of Jinlan Academy were the first sect to arrive in Tianzhou City besides the seven major sects.
Moreover, Jinlan Academy brought nearly half of its disciples, totaling more than five hundred.
Four hundred of them were scholars from the liberal arts academy, and only one hundred were warriors from the martial arts academy.
Jinlan Academy's behavior immediately made many sects make up their minds.
They all took their disciples to Tianzhou City, where many sects gathered in Tianzhou City.
When those sects who were still hesitating saw this, they became anxious.
Seats are limited, so if you go late, there will be no seats left.
So more sects swarmed in.
Inside the Zhenwu Si Yamen.
Qin Wei sat on the pavilion, and Wen Su and Mo Tianyu sat next to him.
Xiao Shunzi makes tea.
"These guys are really the masters who don't let go of eagles when they see rabbits!" Qin Wei laughed after listening to Wen Su's report.
Wen Su smiled and said: "They probably haven't seen the situation clearly yet."
Now that the Tianshi Mansion has completely joined the Zhenwu Division, although the old Tianshi had some complaints about Qin Wei because of Master Kumu's matter, he still asked Wen Su to obey Qin Wei's words.
Qin Wei raised the corners of his mouth slightly and looked at Mo Tianyu.
This was the first time he saw Mo Tianyu.
In the past, whether it was the battle at Wolong Ridge or Black Cliff Mountain, Jinlan Academy had participated, but Mo Tianyu never showed up.
As for Mo Tianyu, Qin Wei also had some understanding.
After all, Jinlan Academy is indeed special, and Mo Tianyu is the most special being in Tianzhou Martial Arts.
He has been an official and participated in politics in a state with a high level. More importantly, Mo Tianyu has done a very good job as an official.
"Senior Mo! Why did you bring five hundred disciples?" Qin Wei asked with a smile.
Mo Tianyu stroked his beard and said, "I know that Your Highness needs many civil servants."
Qin Wei's eyes flashed.
Although the Zhenwu Division mainly relies on force, it still needs a large number of civil servants.
When he was in Kyoto, he asked the Imperial Academy for many scholars, and now in Tianzhou, he also needs many scholars.
"Senior Mo, are you willing to be an official?"
Qin Wei suddenly asked.
Mo Tianyu was slightly stunned, "What do you mean, Your Highness?"
"This king can recommend Senior Mo to join the court as an official." Qin Wei said.
Mo Tianyu said: "If I join the Zhenwu Division, I am willing."
"Where is the Kyoto Zhenwu Division?" Qin Wei asked.
"I am willing to obey His Highness's arrangements!" Mo Tianyu said very simply.
The reason why he entered Zhenwusi was because Qin Wei could make the decision. If it were any other yamen, Mo Tianyu really wouldn't want to go.
Although he actively brought in five hundred disciples this time in order to serve as an official in the court again, at present he only wants to be an official in the Zhenwu Division.
Because he was not sure whether he would be ostracized in other yamen, just like he was more than ten years ago.
Qin Wei nodded.
"Then go to Kyoto. I will recommend you to be the commander of the Kyoto Military Division."
At present, the official positions in the Kyoto Zhenwu Division are full, but Qin Wei plans to ask Li Ru to retire.
Li Ru is his military advisor, and he will take Li Ru with him wherever he goes.
Therefore, there is no need for Li Ru to occupy an official position in Zhenwu Division.
Mo Tianyu is the most suitable person to take over Li Ru's official position.
In addition to these reasons, he also has many other considerations.
First of all, he needs to train his own team. Mo Tianyu is a more suitable person who can be trained to become his confidant in the future.
Secondly, for the sake of checks and balances, most of the officials in Kyoto's Zhenwu Division came from the military or the Imperial Academy and the Yanwu Pavilion. They were close colleagues and classmates, so it was inevitable that they would form cliques.
Now Qin Wei asked Mo Tianyu to go to Kyoto because he wanted to check and balance the influence of the Imperial Academy and the Yanwu Pavilion in Zhenwu Division.
When the Zhenwu Division establishes yamen in other states in the future, he will also split the officials of the Kyoto Zhenwu Division in the name of promotion, so as to avoid the unity party within the Zhenwu Division.
…
As disciples from many sects arrived one after another, Zhenwu Si's barracks outside Tianzhou City was filled to the brim.
However, it will take a period of training to turn all these sect disciples into soldiers.
Although the disciples of the sect are not weak in cultivation and strength, the battles faced by the soldiers of the Zhenwu Division are group battles, and they must pay attention to cooperation and discipline among themselves.
Especially when it comes to discipline, sect disciples are much worse off, so military training is still very necessary.
At first, the barracks seemed very chaotic, but as time went by, the training in the barracks gradually got on the right track.
In addition to the barracks, Zhenwu Si Yamen also recruited a group of civil servants.
Some of these civil servants came from Jinlan Academy, and some came from various schools in Tianzhou. There were as many as a thousand people in number.
Tianzhou Zhenwu Division will definitely not be able to use thousands of civil servants. Even if eight thousand household divisions are added, they will not be able to use so many civil servants.
The reason why Qin Wei recruited so many civil servants was to prepare for the establishment of Zhenwu divisions in other states.
Seeing that the Zhenwu Si Yamen was on the right track, Qin Wei still felt a sense of accomplishment.
"Wen Su is not familiar with the affairs of the Zhenwu Division. Please give him more advice in the future!"
In the pavilion, Qin Wei stood in front of the window, overlooking the entire Zhenwu Si Yamen, and said.
"Your Highness wants to leave the paperwork to Mr. Wen?" Li Ru asked.
"Yes, although Wen Su is a Taoist, he has been running the Tianshi Mansion for many years and has extensive experience in handling chores." Qin Wei explained.
Li Ru nodded slightly, "I understand."
"Xiao Shunzi, prepare the carriage tomorrow morning. I am going to Moling Mountain." Qin Wei ordered Xiao Shunzi again.
"Your Highness, do you need to arrange escorts?" Xiao Shunzi asked.
Qin Wei shook his head slightly and said, "No need, just let Senior Mo Yan and Fire Cloud Evil God follow."
Going to Moling Mountain is not going to fight, so there is no need to bring too many people.
Besides, even bringing a group of soldiers is useless. With the strength of the Qi Yuan Sect, 3,500 soldiers are simply a decoration.
Yuwen Chengdu temporarily needs to be in charge of Zhenwu Si Yamen, Shi Luan is training dead soldiers, Tie Shou is responsible for the overall affairs of Zhenwu Si Yamen, and Qi Lin is in the barracks outside the city.
Even Di Renjie was arranged by Qin Wei to serve under Tie Shou, temporarily serving as Tie Shou's assistant.
Therefore, Qin Wei is currently out and cannot take many people with him.
There were only two idlers, Mo Yan and Huoyun Evil God.
