Volume 39 Chapter 60

In the Imperial City of the Great Emperor, in the Garden of Humble Heart, under the old peach tree, the golden crow is sinking, the dusk is approaching, and before you know it, there is only one-third of the pot of dirty wine left...

Xuanyuan Hill is very big. At this moment, the swan in the sky has not yet flown to Jinquanfang City, and Han Yuanhong, who is in Wanbaoyuan, has not stopped the noise from outside the store.

Meng Shidao and Han Zhengfang were sitting on both sides of the stone table, talking to Yin.

The so-called stone tables are actually not stone tables, but two abandoned stone mills in the garden that have been abandoned for many years.

The edge of the stone mill has been somewhat ground, and the hole in the middle of the stone mill has been blocked by sundries over the years. The stone mill below is close to the ground, and a layer of green moss has climbed up at the foot of the stone mill—— This thing will be discarded like a shoe in a family with a little money, but in this Garden of Humble Hearts, it is used by the Grand Tutor as a stone table for entertaining guests, and everyone in the entire Emperor's Imperial City However, there are only a handful of people who are lucky enough to sit next to this stone mill.

The Master Taifu will take over in the future, perhaps the position of the Great Situ among the Sangongs.

While talking and drinking with Master Tai Tu, Han Zhengfang gradually had a feeling in his heart, because the conversation between the two of them today, what Master Tai Tu was most interested in was basically the supervisor of Han Zhengfang's Da Si Nong's Mansion All aspects of Taixia's economic field.

Da Situ is in charge of the national government affairs of Taixia. This position is the most helpful for His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, and it is also the position that can best assist His Royal Highness in controlling the situation. As far as Da Sima is concerned, the position of Da Situ is also the person who has the greatest influence on Taixia at all levels among the three lords, just like the prime minister of the empire. Of course, His Royal Highness hopes that his teacher can assist him in the most important position. As far as the party is concerned, Meng Shidao's appointment as Da Situ is also in the best interest of the party.

If Master Tai Tu holds the post of Da Situ, then Da Si Nong Mansion will become the direct subordinate of Master Tai Tu. This time the Master Taifu invited to meet, maybe he wanted to send this signal.

It's just that I don't know the one in the East Palace. If he wants to help his master to the position of Great Situ, what kind of conditions must he come up with so that Di Longtu, who is currently sitting in the position of Great Situ, will automatically give up his position? Di Longtu is not a good-tempered person, and he has no virtue of humility in this kind of matter. In the middle, is there any opportunity that I can take advantage of? If the Di family and the Tai Tu master can fight together, there will be excitement to watch.

Han Zhengfang's head was spinning something that Meng Shidao didn't know, but he said it. And his face was full of sincerity. Han Zhengfang not only maintained enough politeness to this Master Taifu who might become the boss of the Dasinong Mansion in the future and was famous all over the world, but also showed that he was one of the nine ministers. The integrity and dignity that Sinong should have.

"The population of Taixia,

According to the statistics of salt consumption in each state by the Dasinong Mansion three years ago, there are about 1.536 billion people. within the continent. In these states, the population of each state often exceeds 10 billion or close to 10 billion, while in the middle states and lower states below the big states, although these states have a large area of ​​land, their populations are relatively small, and the population It is mainly concentrated around various cities, and there is still considerable development potential in the wild. The Xiazhou with the least population is Fanzhou, which is a place of bitter cold. The population of the entire Fanzhou is less than 100 million, and among the many barren states in Taixia outside Xiazhou, except for some uncivilized barbarian tribes, the population and descendants of the Chinese resident in each barren state are generally several Between millions. Most of them are only about 10 million, but many outlaws in Taixia often go far away to the barren state to avoid being hunted by the Taixia Tingwei Mansion..."

Han Zhengfang put down his wine glass, and when Master Taifu asked about Taixia's population data, he opened his mouth and said a bunch of numbers, these numbers. In Taixia, it is actually classified, and senior officials below a certain level cannot have access to such data.

"Removing prisoners is a national policy of Taixia. The so-called openness of the net is just like this. Those lawless people, those who commit crimes with military force, are cunning and treacherous. They are considered a cancer in Taixia. They rushed to the various barren states, not only to leave them a way out, but also to let them contribute a little bit of strength to Taixia's pioneering, and use these lawless people to deal with the uncivilized barbarians in the barren states who refused to accept Taixia's rule. It can be regarded as turning harm into profit. After a hundred years, if the descendants of these lawless people have become successful, they will naturally build cities and write to the court, praying for submission, in order to honor their ancestors. It takes a lot of effort, and if you send a governor and a few capable officials, you will be able to control the entire state!" When it comes to the strategy of governing the country, the Tai Tuo is also sharp and insightful.

"Your Majesty's words are true!" Han Zhengfang nodded and smiled, "This can be regarded as Your Majesty's great virtue!"

The two raised their wine glasses again, and just as the wine glasses were facing each other, as Zhang Tie expected, Lord Taifu directly received an urgent remote sensing communication from His Royal Highness, telling him that Lord Taifu is now in the Imperial City. what happened outside.

This earth-shattering news didn't seem to cause any disturbance to the Grand Tutor. He didn't even move his hand holding the wine glass. Meng Shidao still chatted happily with Han Zhengfang, seemingly unaware of it.

A minute later, another piece of news came from His Royal Highness, but the Tai Tuo remained unmoved.

Only a few minutes later, when the noise outside Jinquanfang City caused Han Yuanhong to walk out of the auction hall, the Grand Tutor noticed that Han Zhengfang's hand toast suddenly stiffened.

Master Taifu put down his wine glass, looked at Han Zhengfang and the glass of wine in Han Zhengfang's hand with a smile, and asked lightly, "Has Zhengfang also received the news from his subordinates?"

Master Tai Tu's words were like thunder, and there was a slight ripple in the wine glass.

Han Zhengfang's expression remained unchanged, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, still smiling, "I just received a message, I don't know what the message is from Master Tai Tuo?"

"I just received the news from His Royal Highness that the Xuanyuan Hill is holding the Ten Thousand Treasures Conference in the past few days. Today, some people with ulterior motives took the opportunity to make trouble and confuse people. It's the leader of Tongtian Sect!" Master Tai Tuo said in a self-contained manner, completely treating the outside things as rumors and not paying attention to them.

"I also received a report from my subordinates just now!" Han Zhengfang sighed, "This is really a cold place, I guess I offended too many people in the position of Da Sinong, maybe it is the remnants of the Tongtian Sect Wanting to disturb the situation in Taixia, that's why I resorted to such insidious and vicious means, defeating my pleasure of getting together with Master Taifu!"

"These Xiao Xiaoxiao are really hateful!" Master Tai Tuo nodded, as if he was very sympathetic to Han Zhengfang's experience.

"Xiao Xiao took the opportunity to make trouble. Hearing such rumors, my family is probably in chaos. My family members are worried. If something happens in the house, Zheng Fang will leave first, and come to Humble Heart Garden to disturb Master Taifu some other day!" Han Zhengfang stood up. Get up, and don't be in a hurry.

The Tai Tuo also stood up and smiled, "Don't worry about the affirmative, His Royal Highness has just sent cadres from the Palace and Guang Luxun to the Dasinong Mansion to comfort and condolences. Xiaoxiao is intruding, now Xiaoxiao intends to disturb the situation in Xuanyuan Hill, and the target dares to point directly at Taixia Jiuqing, the method is vicious, there is already some chaos outside the Great Emperor's Imperial City, the Zodiac Guard has blocked the Great Emperor's Imperial City, there are other people in order to prevent Xiaoxiao Means, His Royal Highness is about to summon Jiuqing and me to the palace to discuss countermeasures to stabilize the situation, Zhengfang happens to be my guest here, and His Royal Highness has ordered us to go to the palace together!"

Go to the palace? At this time, how could Han Zhengfang fall into a desperate situation? There is great terror in the emperor's palace, and there are many restrictions in the palace. come out. If he went to the palace at this time, he would never have another chance. If he was really slandered by Xiaoxiao, he would of course dare to go to the palace with the Taifu to meet the prince and confess his confession face to face, and he is not afraid of Taixia's next investigation method to clear his "wrongedness". The problem is, Han Zhengfang knew that it was not a slander, but a fact. As one of the Taixia Jiuqing, he knew how much energy and how many means there were in Xuanyuan Hill and the Great Emperor's Imperial City to figure things out.

Your Highness the Crown Prince is doing a great job!

Never go to the palace.

There is no room for maneuver! There is less and less time left for myself!

How did things suddenly come to this point? Who is behind the shot? If possible, Han Zhengfang would like to see what those twelve characters that flew in the sky and plunged him into a situation of eternal doom look like right now.

Whether the six major sects are going to deal with themselves and Taixia, or the demons are going to play the low-level trick of crossing rivers and demolishing bridges, besides these two parties, this Taixia, who else can make himself fall into such a situation in a blink of an eye?

Because I don't know, because I can't find the answer, and I don't know who is behind the scenes. A chill that makes Han Zhengfang icy from head to toe is slowly invading every cell in his body, and it also makes his heart become cold. stand up.

At this moment, Han Zhengfang suddenly thought of his missing second son, and now he was finally sure that his second son was in danger.

Seeing that Han Zhengfang didn't move, Master Tai Tu suddenly looked at him with deep eyes, with a sharp edge that pierced people's hearts.

Across a table, Han Zhengfang looked at Meng Shidao, and Meng Shidao looked at Han Zhengfang. The smiles on the faces of the two of them gradually disappeared. At this moment, a dead leaf on the old peach tree withered and fell. On the stone table in front of the two of them, as the leaf fell, a chilling aura instantly filled the entire Humble Heart Garden...

...

At the beginning of the month, ask for a monthly pass! (To be continued.)
