Qingguan Nightmare Shadow

Chapter 26

Yun Li thought about it carefully, now is the first year of Jiahui.

In the first year, he could somewhat understand what the emperor did.There are three fires for new officials when they take office, and the emperor also has to set fire when he takes office. The nature of the two is probably the same.It's just that Emperor Jiahui's fire was a bit too big and too intense.

The cloth government in the capital city and the prefectural bureaus in each state are responsible for the distribution of disaster relief food. Now, the emperor asked people to take the heads of those main ministries to Xiuzhu in Shuzhou for a walk, saying that it was to comfort the dead, and the purpose was obvious.Shuzhou Xiuzhu didn't get the food it deserved. No matter which sesame official had a problem during the food distribution, the final responsibility can always be implicated in the main department of the cloth government who is in charge of the matter.

The cloth government and the states' political platforms were tied to the same rope. The cloth government was burned by the emperor, and the states' political platforms could not resist the fire that came down from the trend.The emperor wanted to give them the hat of corrupt officials, but they couldn't take it off, so they had to let the hat eat their heads in a daze.However, the three prefectures in the capital are closely related. Most of the main departments of the Supervisory Mansion and the Rongwei Mansion are still watching the fire from the other side. The chain burned to himself.

Whether Emperor Jiahui wanted to reform his confidants or show his prestige and establish rules, in short, he wanted to kill people; the heads in the cage couldn't find the water to put out the fire when they were alive.The head of the main department and the relevant personnel who separated their bodies and heads may not have committed any capital crimes clearly stated in the Xia Kingdom's law code. If they insist on saying that they are at fault, then their fault lies in the year when the new emperor ascended the throne. And he happened to be an old official who was powerful and not trusted by Emperor Jiahui.

However, Emperor Jiahui's fire must have played a deterrent role in the world, and the acts of corrupting officials should be significantly reduced.

Yun Li didn't know the emperor very well, and he didn't know whether it was better to say he was violent or stupid or decisive.

The team leader with the badge climbed the hundredth stone steps and arrived at the gate of Baiyin Temple, but was blocked by the abbot of the temple together with several monks.

The leader obeyed the rules of the monastery, first saluted with clasped hands, and then ordered the soldiers to return the same way with the head smeared with dried dark blood.

There is a gust of wind when it comes, and a gust of wind when it goes.The soldiers put a black cloth over the head of the man, stepped on the horse and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Even though he was gone, Nie Qiu still fanned the wind with his palm beside his nose, his brows were furrowed.

People immediately started talking.

Some angrily spat at the dead chiefs, some patted their chests and said they were scary, some shouted that the emperor was wise, and some asked others to find out what happened because they didn't know.

Of course, after making noise for a while, all kinds of grievances in people's hearts were quickly ironed out by the quiet atmosphere of Baiyin Temple.

There are still people whispering in the aftermath: "I heard that all the officials in the capital have been replaced?"

"I think it's just the head of the Sanfu, and the rest of the Sanfu are still those people."

"You haven't seen the officials of Sanfu, how do you know that there are no other heads of Sanfu in the cage?"

"I've seen it, who said I haven't seen it? Do you know where my restaurant used to be? It's in the capital! Not to mention the officials of the three prefectures, even the Prime Minister, I have served them all."

Doubtful: "It's in the capital? Then why did you come back to us?"

"Hey, do you think the business in the capital is so easy to do? At the foot of the emperor, there are a lot of talents. How can the mediocre dishes of our mediocre restaurant compare with those of other chefs?"

"So..." The speaker lowered his voice a bit, "Has the Prime Minister changed?"

"changed."

"Oh, really? Which head of the general belongs to the prime minister?"

"Look at what you said, don't talk nonsense! The original prime minister lived a full life, and he went with the late emperor last year."

"Where is the national teacher?"

"Oh, the national teacher, some people talk about it. A few months before I returned to Xiuzhu, people in the capital were spreading rumors that the current emperor invited the old national teacher to play chess, and the old national teacher suddenly stopped playing chess. Moved, the chess piece in his hand fell on the board; the chess piece rolled a few times, and he landed on the most critical square, reversing the whole chess situation, and the old master turned the defeat into victory. You said this is not surprising strange?"

"What does 'not moving' mean?"

"Oh, it's just getting old and dead. The current new national teacher is very young...and a bit milky."

"Being a national teacher at a young age? Heh, are you kidding me?"

"Believe it or not, believe it or not."

"..."

The three of Yunli ran to a crowded place by themselves, and now that the crowd was flowing, the three of them couldn't move, so they listened to the conversation of the people next to them.Yun Li only thought of those conversations as a pastime when he was bored, he didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the mortal court, after listening to them, he would probably forget them after a while.

He looked at Nie Qiu and Su Tong: this time, it was not a young scholar with a serious face, but a broken wizard who had no serious appearance all day long.

Immediately Yunli felt that Nie Qiu's appearance was not serious, but dull.

Yunli: "What's wrong with you?"

Nie Qiu murmured, "Master."

Yun Li thought about the conversation between those two people, and then thought of Wizard Po saying that his master was in the capital. He was startled, and asked tentatively, "Who is your master? The prime minister... or the national teacher?"

Nie Qiu stared straight, his eyes dull: "Master, he..."

Yun Li was about to ask for clarification, when Nie Qiu suddenly and violently brushed away the people nearby, plunged into the crowd of cake-like people, and would pick up anyone he saw, nimbly moving like a loach in the water. "Loach" meanders and firmly drills towards the outside, crowding people to curse at their mothers.

When Nie Qiu was gone, Yun Li patted his forehead: Actually, is there any need to ask? The prime minister is in charge of personnel affairs in the court, and the national teacher is in charge of ghosts and gods. Choose one of the two. Nie Qiu's master should be the national teacher without a doubt. .

That guy's master is Xia Guoguo? !

In fact, apart from his shortcomings of often pretending to be crazy and being thick-skinned, Nie Qiu might not be able to support the face of a disciple of the national teacher.One is that he can find the crux of the plague, the other is that he can perform the ritual of exorcising ghosts and praying for rain, and the third is that he possesses a spiritual magic weapon, and the magic weapon seems fragile, but it can make the iron sword chipped, Have the guts to bite the "sacred tree" of Xianjun.From this point of view, Nie Qiu is an excellent wizard.It's just that his bastard-like personality almost covers up all his shining points, making people prefer to believe that he is just a fool who makes a living by bluffing.

The broken wizard left in such a hurry that he didn't know what he was going for.

Yunli thought about it for a while, and felt that Su Tong didn't need to know about Nie Qiu's troubles, so he left a sentence "Mr. Su, I'll take a step first", and went to chase Nie Qiu by himself.

Yun Li pushed the human wall a few times, only to realize that it is not easy to escape as smoothly as Cai Nie Qiu, so he had to fly to the sky with his sword, and before leaving, he bent down and touched Su Tong's head, teasing: " You stay here obediently and go back by yourself in a while."

After flying for a while, there was a series of "Master Yun! It turns out that Master Yun has come to our Baiyin Temple."

The sound faded away.

……

Yujian is faster than walking.Yun Li easily caught up with Nie Qiu, stopped him and said, "What are you doing?"

Nie Qiu: "Go back to the capital."

He used the word "back".

Yunli: "Just now? Walk back?"

Nie Qiu spoke quickly: "Master asked me to go on a trip with my junior brother, and I came here in the first place."

Yun Li said, "You don't want any money?"

Nie Qiu didn't even think about it: "No." Wizard Po's expression of treating money as something outside of him can be regarded as one of the wonders of the world.

Yunli: "Why are you in such a hurry? Your master has already... You can't see him for the last time. If you leave a few days late, you can still get some money and hire a carriage. I don't have anything valuable on me to give you. .”

Nie Qiu couldn't tell why he was so impatient.Yun Li is right, he won't be able to see his master for the last time; moreover, the news of his late arrival has only reached his ears today, and his master has already been buried in the ground. Can't see.

But he just wanted to leave, he wanted to leave right away, and staying for another quarter of an hour would be a torment.

Yun Li was inexplicably sad, and said sincerely: "I'll take you back. 'Broken Sword' is always faster than your two legs."

Nie Qiu didn't look at him, and said: "Xianjun, you have come all the way to Shuzhou to repair bamboo, isn't it just for Mr. Su. I am a passerby, and I have delayed you too much time. I am sorry. Brother, I may just want to go to court. Just walk in the direction of the capital, walk alone, calm your mind."

Yunli: "Who said...uh, how do you know I'm here to find Su Tong?"

Nie Qiu said: "The gods in the sky fell in love with mortals, so they go to the place where mortals live, does it make sense?"

Yunli is the Siming Immortal who is in charge of Su Tong's life book, and he has naturally gotten closer to Su Tong in the past few days, but in Nie Qiu's eyes, it was misinterpreted as a romantic affair of an idle fairy.In the past, Yunli used to make a fuss, but in fact it was mainly about fighting. Although the "raindrops" were small, the "thunder" had to be enough; but now he was really angry because of his words about breaking the wizard, but he didn't even say a word. Unable to speak.

Yun Li was bored for a while, but Nie Qiu had already chosen another way to leave.

Bad wizard, let's go.

Yunli Yujian flew back, wanting to go to Baiyin Temple to pick up Su Tong, but when he passed by, Su Tong was already gone.Yun Li went around the Xiuzhu River again, but still couldn't find anyone, so he sent "Broken Sword" to fly low along the way to the old couple Cheng, thinking that he might be able to pick up Su Tong on the way.As a result, he spent a long time working hard, and he didn't even see the shadow of the person.

Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry everywhere!

Yun Li thought that Su Tong was so big that he couldn't walk back by himself, so he simply changed his way to the market.But he was penniless, and he couldn't even afford a candied haws, so he would only feel bad if he went shopping any longer, so he had to go back to the old couple's house.

Su Tong came back one step ahead of him.

Yunli didn't meet Su Tong on the road, probably because the two of them just diverged from each other.To his satisfaction, Su Tong bought two candied haws, wrapped them in paper and put them on the desk. When he came back, he handed over the paper and said, "There is no other food for sale in the market today. It may be that he was full of dark anger because he couldn't see the candied haws just now, or he was sullen in his stomach because he hadn't digested Nie Qiu's stomach hurting words. Chewing very hard, maybe inadvertently swallowed a few hawthorn cores.

Perhaps the sweetness of candy can really please people's hearts, after Yun Li finished eating the candied haws, he suddenly felt that his anger was nothing at all.He can listen to so many nonsense words of Nie Qiu, so why not this sentence.

Yun Li wiped his mouth and said, "Why are you alone?"

Su Tong: "I asked Mumu, and she said that Grandma Cheng and Uncle Cheng have gone to the prefect's mansion with others."

Yunli reacted for a moment, then remembered that Mumu is the daughter of Yanshan and Meizi.

"To the prefect's mansion?"

Su Tong lowered her eyes to look at the book, and said: "The people over at Buzhengtai have passed a message that everyone should go to the prefect's mansion to see the head."

Yunli said: "Emperor Jiahui, the co-author, sent someone to carry the head to Shuzhou Xiuzhu for a tour. The first stop was Baiyin Temple, and the second stop was the prefect's mansion."

Yun Li, "Oh." He glanced at Su Tong who had immediately entered the reading state with a complicated expression, put the light bamboo stick with sugar residue on the sealing paper, covered the door for Su Tong and went out.

It's the day, no problem.

The next day, when Yun Li got up, the first thing he did was to grab Nie Qiu's bed, to see if the Po wizard had pasted another talisman and quietly returned to sleep all night.But this time Nie Qiu really left as soon as he said it, and there was indeed no one on the empty bed.As soon as Nie Qiu left, the prefect of Shuzhou came to the old couple's house in person. When he saw Yunli, he said that there were too many chores in the past few days, and he even forgot to thank his benefactor for the bamboo repairer.

The prefect of Shuzhou ordered someone to open a small box containing silver dollars, saying that he was vulgar and crude, and couldn't think of anything more elegant to thank Mr. Yun's respected teacher, and finally asked half truthfully and half politely: "Mr. Yun, what do you have?" Is there anything I can do to help?"

Yunli was not polite: "There really are."

The prefect said: "Young Master Yun, just talk."

Yunli said: "I would like to ask your lord to use this money to help me set up an academy in a quiet place in Xiuzhu."

He said this not on a whim, but after a whole night of thinking.Right now, Mu Zhe went to Zangnan Wonderland to enjoy himself, and threw Siming Wonderland to himself, and he had to deal with Su Tong's affairs in Xiuzhu, Shuzhou.After much deliberation, he felt that it was best to pick out the new little fairies who were difficult to control, and put them together with Su Tong.

In addition, the newly promoted Siming Xiaoxian is very energetic and can't stand the boring life in the academy; there are this group of guys who can't sit for a quarter of an hour jumping around in front of Su Tong, changing their tricks and playing around, so that Yunli won't be thinking hard But only want to come up with crappy methods.Su Tong's heart can't be shaken by his own strength, so it's better to throw this person into the pile of Siming Xiaoxian for "stocking".Yun Li didn't believe that a young man could be so firm in his wish, so that he could get out of the mud without being stained.

The prefect said: "Academy?"

Yunli nodded: "My teacher has always believed that the difference between a cultivator and ordinary people is not a golden core, but a broad mind. Nowadays, my teacher suffers from the fact that there are few new disciples who understand this principle. I think the reason is that most disciples Ever since I entered the immortal sect, I felt that I was superior to others, and I only practiced immortal power, leaving behind the poetic demeanor needed by a perfect person. Therefore, those who value martial arts and despise literature gradually grow, and those who are calm and calm are getting fewer and fewer. His family style is not as strong as the era created by the master, so he has been thinking about building an academy, forcing young disciples to study classics while practicing, and reduce their own arrogance."

The prefect stroked his beard: "The words of respecting the master should be taught by the secular world."

Yunli went on to say: "Now that I have arrived at Xiuzhu, which is beautiful and quiet, I think of what my teacher said. Xiuzhu is undoubtedly an excellent place to practice my teacher's words. My teacher has been retreating all year round. The teacher has chosen the place here."

The prefect said: "But I heard that Mr. Yun came from a long way, and the Zunmen is not close to Xiuzhu..."

Yunli said: "Cultivating immortals should naturally not be confined to the teacher's school. Since the teacher wants the disciples to have a broad mind, the link of traveling to other places and observing humanities is naturally indispensable."

Yunli compiled everything in a logical manner, and the eunuch couldn't help but praise: "Mr. Yun is right, he is indeed a high-ranking disciple of the immortal sect."

"So, Lord Prefect, you..."

The prefect smiled and said, "I am honored to choose Xiuzhu as the site for Xianmen's Academy. I will be able to discuss with the head of Tong Buzhengtai to delineate a piece of land for Zunmen." Just as Yunli was thinking about how to justify it Bringing Su Tong in, the prefect said again: "Mr. Yun, there are many young scholars in Xiuzhu, it is better to let these young people study together in the academy, so as to absorb the spiritual energy of the disciples of the immortal sect, so that they will not become rigid in the future. "

"The rigor and elegance of the scholars is exactly what we disciples need to learn." Yunli said, "Well... I think Mr. Su Tong, Mr. Su, is very good. Please let him go to the academy to be an example, Mr. Taishou. .”

The prefect agreed: "Su Tong learned language at the age of one, practiced calligraphy at the age of two, recited Poems at the age of three, wrote lyrics at the age of four, and read the words of a hundred schools of thought at the age of seven. The adults in the three main departments and I all He said that he is smart and hardworking, and his future is immeasurable. Although Su Tong is still a scholar, after three trials and one test, he might be a big man like the head of the three mansions in the capital." When Su Tong was mentioned, the prefect It seems that he is boasting about his son to others.

Thinking of those ferocious heads in the cage, Yun Li really didn't want Su Tong to be the head of the three palaces of Emperor Jiahui.

Immediately, the eunuch changed his tone and said, "It's a pity that Su Qiuguang died early. He wanted his son to become a talent, but he couldn't wait for that day."

Yun Li sighed inwardly.

Back then, in his vision, Su Qiuguang was going to be the poisonous old man of a legendary businessman or a legendary knight, but now that his life is fixed and Su Tong's ambition changes, he is said to be the strict father of a talented man.

Yunli and the prefect of Shuzhou sat opposite each other, and at the same time fell into an irrelevant sentimentality.

Soon after Yun said goodbye to the prefect, he set off to return to Siming Wonderland.

After resting for a while, he began to screen Xiaoxian.

He stepped on the "broken sword" and swept all the roads of Siming Fairyland. When he saw the young Siming Xiaoxian, he asked them to follow him, and he wore a long tail like a bean.

In the first year of Xia Guojiahui, when the sun was seen in August and the Mid-Autumn Festival, when people looked up at the moon, they could faintly see a "dragon" in the clouds.The dragon breathed out green light, and traveled through the clouds and the moon to repair bamboo in Shuzhou.
