A few more grains of dark golden spiritual sand merged into the starry sky, lighting up a star in the northwest star cluster. At this point, more than 830 stars had flashed in the night sky of the island, forming more than 30 star clusters.
Due to lack of imagination, except for the Big Dipper, Wu Sheng still could not imagine what constellations the other star clusters were, but no matter what, the night sky finally took on the appearance of a starry sky.
Under the starry sky, there is a small island made of half a million spiritual sands. Hundreds of peaks rise one after another, densely surrounding the central volcano. The crater of the volcano is constantly spewing out hot real energy.
Rainbows are drawn above the island.
A large amount of love gold was exchanged for a large amount of spiritual materials. The large amount of spiritual materials made Qihai the size it is now. Wu Sheng's cultivation level improved rapidly as he kept devouring it.
After visualizing the last batch of attenuated black ginseng pills that he had refined and hoarded, Wu Sheng came out of the alchemy room and took a deep breath of the cold and fresh air that penetrated his heart and spleen.
In the courtyard and on the eaves, there is another thin layer of snow, which looks like a hazy silver gauze under the moonlight. This should be the last snow in winter. The snow in the south has never been able to survive.
When the snow melts, the spring breeze of February will be ushered in like scissors, right?
Hearing the sound of Wu Sheng going out from the inner courtyard, Master Dongsun walked in quickly and said to him: "Do you have time, layman? Come quickly, I am discussing something with Dong Da and Ding Ran."
Wu Sheng followed him to a wing room outside the courtyard. The lights in the room were bright. Dong Da and Ding Ran both stood up and saluted Wu Sheng: "I have seen Master Shen."
For more than half a month after the Chu envoy left, the two men were ordered by Wu Sheng to keep an eye on the trends in the market. Any disturbance in every corner of the city was under their control.
Dong Da recounted the news from the public again and said: "In the nine houses in the city, the hearts of the people are biased towards the young master. My brothers followed the method mentioned by the alchemist and visited every house and asked them all.
Twenty-six households did not know or had no idea about the young master's succession. Sixteen households thought that the elder prince's succession was justifiable, and the remaining thirty-nine households all thought that the younger prince was good."
Shopkeeper Dong interjected: "Why do you think the young master is so good?"
Dong laughed and said: "More than ten households said it was because Yongrentang said that the young master was good."
The consultation pattern of Yongrentang is that the Master Dongsun is outside and treats minor injuries and diseases, while Wu Sheng treats severe and difficult diseases. In the past half month, the two "doctors" have been doing other things besides diagnosis and treatment.
They would all say a few words, saying that the young master Qingyu was kind and loving to the people.
Ding Ran also reported the results obtained in the past half month. The die-hard young master party - Sikong Lufang, Situ Zhonggu, Shaofu Yanbing, Dianling Yongzang, Guolao Yongzifu, etc.
There are anywhere from twenty to seven or eight people. Adding the more than thirty guests of the young master in pairs, there are hundreds.
Wu Sheng frowned: "Sikong, Situ, Shaofu, Dianling, Guo Lao, all the important officials in the dynasty are really in love with each other."
Among the six important ministers of the Yong Kingdom, only Sima Yuanzirang was a die-hard Qingyu Party member. The comparison of the situation between the two sides was indeed not in favor of our side.
Ding Ran said: "This is just for the important ministers and senior officials. Among the middle and lower officials, the majority of them support the couple, such as the supervisor Ma Yin, Gong Yin, Le Yin, Bu Yin, the master of ceremonies, and the left and right ministers, all of whom are Cheng."
Of the two parties, the only ones on our side are Men Yin Yongji and Temple Wei Yi Pu."
Speaking of this, Ding Ran smiled bitterly: "In short, the strength is so weak. Ding wants to ask, doesn't Master Shen plan to change the family?"
Wu Sheng knew he was joking. Both the Ding family and the Dong family were Chinese. If they wanted to improve their status, it would not work for them to vote for Chengshuang. The politics of Chengshuang was conservative, and it would be difficult to cross the class line through that line.
Ascend to heaven.
On Qingyu's side, Dao Baifeng won the recognition of Yuan Sima through his own efforts and was accepted as a disciple; the same was true for Shen Danshi, who was accepted as a disciple by Qingyu after making contributions to Yongguo. Both of them successfully jumped up the ranks.
A living case is right in front of them. Therefore, only by siding with Qingyu and following Wu Sheng can they hope to become a scholar.
But Wu Sheng's boat is not that easy to get on. Because of the Chu envoy's operations, Yong Rentang has been closely linked to the change of monarchy. If two people come to power, Wu Sheng has to flee. Qing Yu comes to power, and Yong Rentang
The church will grow further.
Although Ding Ran was joking, Wu Sheng did not dare to take it lightly and reiterated again: "It is indeed difficult, but the so-called sharpening of a sword means that only by constantly sharpening the sword can the sword be sharpened. Of course, there is no sharpening of magic weapons.
The question, I’m talking about the swords of ordinary soldiers. Ordinary soldiers don’t use swords, but what about spears? What about spears? Okay, let me tell you something, don’t make excuses! If you don’t understand, let me say another word, plum blossom.
The fragrance comes from the bitter cold, do you understand this time?"
This time, all three of them understood, no longer dwelled on it, and continued to discuss.
Among the officials, only three supported Qingyu, but the good news is that Sima is in charge of the army, Men Yin is in charge of the door, and Si Wei is in charge of public security. They are all important positions. This is why Qing Yu can fight with Cheng Shuang until now.
Otherwise, they would have been expelled into exile long ago.
If it were placed in later generations, with these three positions in hand, no matter how many ministers and officials supported the pair, one would destroy the other. But this is not the case now. This is an era that pays attention to retainers. The military power among the princes, the country's middle
Whether the power of the Qing doctor is strong or weak, a very important one is the gatekeeper.
For example, when Yuan Sima went to Jiuzhen tribe last year, half of the fifty monks he brought were recruited from the disciples of various ministers. If the battle was to form an army, the same would be true for the soldiers on the chariot. Only ordinary soldiers were recruited from among the people.
They were recruited, but the main force was still these soldiers.
In the whole country of Yong, not counting the barbarians, there are only three thousand households and less than three hundred scholars. Most of them are made up of followers of a single party. This is the strength of the weak.
Therefore, Prince Qingyu and others were busy persuading Doctor Qing to join him, while Wu Sheng focused on the class of scholars - he and Doctor Qing were not on good terms with each other. They might respect him as an alchemist, but they didn't.
He would not communicate with him on such a major issue. This was due to his status and class consciousness, so Wu Sheng could only do nothing.
"Our focus is on these customers, listing the other customers' customers, finding their families, and we will do the work of persuading the family members..."
Ding Ran nodded: "It's easy. For example, when fathers, sons, brothers, or grandparents and grandchildren go to have fun, make things as difficult as possible... win their money in gambling, but let them find a girl without fun!"
Dong laughed and said: "Another example is to create blockages in their homes, blocking them from going out, and using slingshots to smash their windows at night."
Ding Ran said: "Throwing manure has the best effect."
Master Dongsun smiled evilly: "Another example is that during diagnosis and treatment, the family members of these diners sit in the back row and let them wait. We give priority to the people here, but we don't treat them anyway!"
Wu Sheng put his hand on his forehead and said speechlessly: "Stop, that's not what I meant..."
The three of them nodded: "Of course this is not Master Shen's intention, this is our intention!"
