Zhongzhou Imperial City, inside the Imperial Study Room.
Below Sun Jinse, the eldest son of Emperor Yunqin, sat two people.
Naturally, it is impossible for an ordinary person to be given a seat in the imperial study room of the most powerful emperor in this family.
One of the two people was wearing a long robe, with white hair and a childlike face, and his eyes occasionally blinked as if there was a flash of sword light. He was Ni Henian who was enshrined in the Imperial Court of Yunqin.
The vast majority of Yunqin practitioners either want to make great contributions and become important ministers of Yunqin, or they want to become famous for their practice. The ultimate goal of the latter is to become a worshiper in the imperial court.
The significance of being enshrined in the imperial court is not that it is an official rank that does not hold real power, but that being able to be enshrined in the imperial court means that this person's cultivation ability has been recognized by the entire Yunqin and he is a true master.
If such a world-famous master openly confronts others, the streets will be deserted and the crowds will be like a sea. This is such an honor for practitioners.
There are more than one worshipers in the Imperial City of Zhongzhou, but there is only one person named "big worshiper".
The Great Offering is the most powerful one among all the offerings.
At this moment, the white-faced middle-aged man who was enshrining Ni Henian in the imperial court, wearing a yellow tiger robe given by the emperor, was Wen Xuanshu of the Wen family.
Wen Xuanshu himself was the head of the Civil Service Department, with numerous students under his sect. After succeeding as the chief assistant, he took over the responsibility of supervising the other departments and taking charge of the Zhongzhou Guards. At this time, the power could indeed be described as having power over the government and the opposition.
At first, he was made one of the nine elders and had greater power.
"Zhou Ruohai's people all went to his late wife's old house where he lived in seclusion, but then they all dispersed and went back to their hometowns to live in seclusion."
As Zhou Shoufu expected, Changsun Jinse was indeed worried about him. After summoning Wen Xuanshu and Ni Henian, the first thing they talked about was the affairs of Zhou Shoufu's old department. After hearing Wen Xuanshu's return, the prince
After Biluoling was assassinated
However, his eyes were always covered with bloodshot eyes, and Changsun Jinse, who only rested for two or three hours a day, lost some of his stern look. He sneered indifferently and said: "Finally, he still has some loyalty to the emperor... In this case, I should give him some rewards."
I have some glory, so as not to appear cold and weak."
If a reward is given, it is the emperor's business. Ni Henian and Wen Xuanshu did not speak, but remained silent.
"I know you can still kill Gu Xinyin, why don't you?" The sneer on Changsun Jinse's face disappeared, and he turned his head coldly, glanced at Ni Henian, and asked coldly and majestically.
Ni Henian said in a calm voice: "Because Vice President Xia sent someone over to bring me a message."
Changsun Jinse's expression suddenly changed, and he said in a cold voice: "What are you talking about?"
Ni Henian said slowly: "He said that as long as Gu Xinyin dies before returning to the academy, he will kill all of us who are enshrined in the imperial court."
"presumptuous!"
Changsun Jinse was furious. The air in the entire royal study shook with a loud bang. The charcoal fires in several hollow gold furnaces burning with animal charcoal exploded. "This is clearly a threat to me! How dare he be so bold!"
In front of the furious emperor, Ni Henian and Wen Xuanshu remained silent again.
"Is he capable of doing it?" Changsun Jinse shouted sharply with a few bloodshot eyes.
"Yes." Ni Henian said in a deep voice: "His cultivation level should still be above that of the headmaster of Purgatory Mountain. Judging from the rumors of the fight between the headmaster of Purgatory Mountain and Li Ku... If he does not hesitate to pay the price, he should be able to kill all of us.
Kill."
Changsun Jinse's expression changed several times. He suppressed his rage, but his expression turned completely gloomy. "Wen Xuanshu, if the Southern Expedition is about to be separated from Qingluan Academy, do you think it will be invincible?"
Wen Xuanshu nodded and said calmly: "I think we can win."
Changsun Jinse's face softened slightly, he nodded and said, "Tell me the reason."
"After all, the border between Yunqin and Damang has a flat terrain, which is only suitable for large armies to fight. In the case of large armies fighting, one's personal cultivation will be suppressed to the lowest level, and even a person as strong as a Saint Master will be killed by thousands of people." Wen Wen
Xuan Shu said calmly: "Gongsun Quan is dead, Cheng Yu is dead, and very few of Wenren's old tribe escaped from Biluo Mausoleum and entered Damang. Wenren Cangyue's current advantage is just that his personal strategy is more important than our Yunqin generals.
on, and
The dynasty and Purgatory Mountain all use him as their sword and spear. The people of Damang have a feud with me, Yunqin, and the domestic political situation in Damang is very stable. It is difficult to determine the outcome of such a large army battle, and it is just a competition to waste national power. As long as this kind of competition
Strengthening the administration of officials at the critical moment and taking all strict measures can make our Yunqin court stable. Without the interference of those who oppose it, Wenren Cangyue's advantage will naturally disappear and defeat will be inevitable."
"The way I see it." After a slight pause, Wen Xuanshu narrowed his eyes and said, "He didn't care about the gains and losses of this war. What he pursues is his own strength and his influence on the world."
"very good."
A look of satisfaction finally appeared on Changsun Jinse's face. He took a deep look at Wen Xuanshu and said, "If there are many thieves, use cruelty to deal with them. This is an old saying... In times like this, you must first put your inner life in order, and those who can't do anything will be left behind."
Those who drag down the overall situation must be dealt with first."

…
It was not that Lin Xi had never thought about changing the world from the cold weapon era to the hot weapon era. However, from the inscription left by Dean Zhang, he knew that there was no saltpeter or other things that could be used to make explosives in this world.
Yes, even if we can find other things that can form an explosion with amazing power, but it cannot be produced in large quantities, it has no very realistic significance.
So after walking out of Lulin Town and arriving at Qingluan College to truly understand what kind of world this was, Lin Xi had already given up the idea of spending a lot of time on chemical system research.
There is not even the crudest gunpowder, so there are always no fireworks in Yunqin's New Year.
However, there are no fireworks, but it does not mean that it is not lively.
During the entire New Year period in Yunqin, it is the time when bamboo merchants in Qiantang Province make the most money, because every household will buy sections of large hollow bamboos and burn them in the fire. This is the "New Year" in Yunqin and the entire world.
Firecrackers".
The new calendar has replaced the old calendar, and the huge Yunqin Empire has moved forward another thought.
Amidst the continuous sound of firecrackers throughout the Yunqin Empire, in an official residence in Yuzhou City, Guangyu Province, Su Zhongwen, an important counselor of the Liu family, opened a secret note.
After carefully reading the contents of the secret note, Su Zhongwen frowned. In the room where he was the only one, he sneered and murmured to himself: "Sure enough, there are some problems... I want to take a look, you
Who is he?"
This secret note from the Liu family contains information about Chen Feirong.
When he and Liu Ziyu met Chen Feirong for the first time, he felt that Chen Feirong was not an ordinary person, so he had already sent a message to the Liu family to secretly investigate Chen Feirong's identity and background. With the strength of the Liu family, they only relied on Chen Feirong's previous communication.
The name of Chen Feirong at the time of Chengguan could be retrieved from the household department. However, the information about Chen Feirong found by the Liu family at this moment was extremely ordinary. It was just a trip to Donglin.
The daughter of an ordinary farmer in the province was betrothed to a merchant as a concubine, and the merchant was doing business in the Longshe border area. Apart from this, there are no more records. Judging from these records, Chen Feirongdu
She should be an ordinary woman who has not read any books and should not have much knowledge. She definitely cannot be the big shopkeeper in charge of Da Dexiang like she is now!
In Su Zhongwen's view, a beautiful woman who always likes to be quiet and invisible to others will never have the kind of unspeakable charm that Chen Feirong has that makes him feel a little bit. Therefore, the big shopkeeper of Da Dexiang
There is definitely something wrong with the mysterious person. It is definitely not like what Chen Feirong said. It is just because of his nature that he does not like to meet outsiders.
Now seeing the files found by the Liu family, Su Zhongwen can already confirm that Chen Feirong just replaced the identity of this woman who came from an ordinary farmer's family.
After burning the Liu family's confidential notes, Su Zhongwen began to write a reply asking the Liu family to continue their investigation of Chen Feirong.
From the perspective of a counselor like him, there are only two reasons why he needs to conceal his identity. One is that he is a serious criminal in Yunqin, and the other is that Da Dexiang may be involved in shady business. Regardless of whether it is
Either way, for him, can grab Da Dexiang's throat and obtain even more amazing benefits for him and the Liu family.
…
Liu Jing was walking through the streets of Lincheng in Heluo Province, holding a small pumpkin-shaped purple clay pot, heading towards his shop.
He is the shopkeeper of Daohuafang's branch in Lincheng, one of the seventeen jointly owned stores.
Whether in Yunqin, Tang, Zang, or Damang, most shops will open after the New Year on the eighth day of the first lunar month. This is not because the shops want to take a few extra days off during the New Year period, nor is it because the shops are arrogant and are not afraid of competition.
The opponent took the opportunity to steal the business. But it was because this was an invisible and natural rule, because all families would prepare enough New Year's goods before the New Year, and it was absolutely impossible to run out of rice and food during the New Year.
Therefore, even if the business remains open during the New Year period, there will not be much business.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month of this year, amidst the sound of countless firecrackers, all seventeen joint-operated rice stores opened at an auspicious time in the morning. Once they opened their shops, these seventeen stores had already been entangled with Da Dexiang for a long time years ago.
The store took advantage of the festive season to hit hard and slightly lowered the prices of various rice and noodles.
Seven or eight days after opening, the business of these joint-venture rice shops is still somewhat deserted.
For Liu Jing, the old shopkeeper who has been in the rice and noodle business for 30 years, this is also a very normal thing, because after the effect of the initial price reduction has passed, after all, the rice consumption at home will be almost the same before he will buy food again, and various rice stores
I have learned Da Dexiang's method and made a booklet to remember when the rice grains in the homes of regular customers will be used up. It will be about ten days before the business starts to pick up.
But just as Liu Jing was brewing a pot of old tea, absent-mindedly walking towards his shop, he suddenly stopped.
He saw a dozen large carriages.
These dozen or so large carriages all exuded an aura that he was extremely familiar with. The bulging linen bags contained rice and noodles.
These dozen or so vehicles are all Da Dexiang’s carriages!
