Chapter 275 Confrontation in the Holy Land
However, after Yan Qing and Zheng You followed Xu Jie to the west of Fertility Island, Xu Jie was reused, but the two of them have always been tepid. Liu Xinyu, the Prince Regent, has always been fooling Yan Qing and Zheng You - he has arranged positions, but they are always in the position of "only the right to make suggestions but not the right to make decisions".
But having said that, Liu Xinyu can't be blamed for this. It's really the thinking of Confucian scholars and knights, which is not suitable for the country of Qixia.
The country of Qixia and the other countries that belong to the six western countries of Fertile Land have been blocked by the East for a long time, and they have also been in trouble for a long time. Everyone urgently needs to be strong, and the need for that kind of pragmatic thinking is the most urgent. Fast thoughts are more receptive.
In contrast, Legalism's thinking has the fastest effect, especially in the country of Qixia, where the foundation of industry and commerce has appeared unprecedentedly, and in this war, industry and commerce performed very well.
Moreover, industry and commerce are inherently pragmatic, and the core of the development of industry and commerce is 'interests'. The industrial and commercial class made no secret of this.
Also, in the thinking of Confucian scholars and chivalrous scholars, there is inherently a kind of dross of "big family". This is what Liu Xinyu can't accept the most. I managed to clean up the aristocratic family, but I don't want to ask for trouble again.
Therefore, Yan Qing and Zheng You could not be reused in Qixia Country.
In fact, Yan Qing and Zheng You are also very clear, and in that far east, such treatment is also very common. Many countries have clearly stated that "Confucianism uses literature to disrupt the law, and chivalry uses martial arts to violate the prohibition."
The reason why the two of them came to the west was because they had no place to stay in the east, and they couldn't stay any longer, and they didn't even have to be petty officials.
Although there is no real power here in Qixia Country, at least there is an official position and the right to make suggestions.
They urgently need to express themselves, and today's diplomatic mission, let them see a hope - the diplomacy proposed by Zhang Hao, Confucian scholars and knights are the best.
Liu Xinyu looked at the two of them, and finally nodded slowly. "If the two of you can return successfully, I will formally set up the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and you two will be in charge."
Yan Qing and Zheng You were overjoyed: "I promise not to disappoint His Highness."
Liu Xinyu shook her head slightly: "It's not to disappoint me, but to fight for the future for yourselves. I agree with your Confucian scholars and chivalrous scholars' thoughts on loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, but I hope you understand why you should be loyal to the emperor and patriotism.
Your mission this time is not only for me, but also for yourselves.
Take your chances. "
After Yan Qing and Zheng You left, Liu Xinyu turned to look at Zhao Duo, "Zhao Duo, I will leave the rest to you."
The next thing is to build momentum, let the whole country know that Liu Xinyu is going to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, and also support him.
Zhao Duo responded, but then said: "Your Highness, I need the help of Zhang Hao and Wu Fanghai. Please start with the business community and the military respectively."
"Yes." Zhang Hao said directly. For Zhang Hao, this is not a big deal.
Wu Fanghai also nodded, indicating that there is no problem. For Wu Fanghai, it was not a big deal.
In this war, Liu Xinyu has a huge influence in the business circles and the military. On the contrary, the folks are not very good - Liu Xinyu just carried out a cleansing of the folks.
Seeing that the three of them had discussed it, Liu Xinyu said to Wu Fanghai again: "General Wu, I will trouble you to prepare for the next battle, we may send troops to the Zhoushan Kingdom at any time.
As for the domestic war, it is enough to hand it over to a few lieutenants. "
Wu Fanghai should be, but looked at Zhang Hao again.
"Why are you looking at me?" Young Master Zhang was a little speechless.
Wu Fanghai said directly: "Zhang Hao, I want to borrow someone from you."
"No!" Zhang Hao directly denied it.
Wu Fanghai was a little annoyed with black lines all over his head: "You don't even ask, just deny it?!"
"Father, now the people around me can be counted by your fingers. And all of these people are the pillars of the Dayang Group and the Zhang family. I'm afraid you won't return it once you borrow it." !
Besides, the country's affairs should be done in a business-like manner. This personal relationship should not involve the country. "
"You...you bastard!" Wu Fanghai's gray hair and beard trembled violently. After taking a few breaths, Wu Fanghai finally snorted angrily, "Without you, I can still keep the kingdom of Zhoushan."
"Then I wish my adoptive father every success." Zhang Hao grinned. Talents that belong to the family must never be released. In fact, Zhang Hao probably knew who Wu Fanghai wanted: Dugu Junjie.
Dugu Junjie's performance in this war is remarkable, and Dugu Junjie's understanding and application of artillery can be called miraculous.
But unfortunately, Zhang Hao is also optimistic about Dugu Junjie. In the upcoming grand voyage plan, Zhang Hao plans to make Dugu Junjie the general of the sea.
And after returning this time, Zhang Hao is going to tie Dugu Junjie to the boat and start training.
Liu Xinyu watched the 'father and son' quarrel, and smiled lightly, "Okay, let's go."
After leaving the camp, Wu Fanghai immediately pulled Zhang Hao and scolded him right away, he was too selfish. However, Zhang Hao replied with a smile: "Father, selflessness is a noble character. But you can't let everyone in the whole country learn this character, it's unrealistic.
Before the troops were dispatched the day before yesterday, the first article of the first draft of the law I submitted to Your Highness was:
Legal interests and property are sacred and inviolable.
The reason why I rejected my adoptive father was not because I was selfish, nor because I didn't want to help my adoptive father, but because our every move was related to the future of this new country. "
As he said that, Zhang Hao's face became serious, "At present, I can be regarded as a representative of the industrial and commercial class. I must set an example for the future industrial and commercial class, the future development of the country, and the code of conduct.
The person that foster father wants to borrow is Dugu Junjie.
In fact, the adoptive father should apply to His Highness, and then His Highness will ask me for it, following the formal legal procedures. It cannot be borrowed directly in a private capacity.
Father, we are a new, an unprecedented nation. This country will implement a strict legal system and implement the ideas of industry and commerce.
This change may be a bit unreasonable, but talking about human feelings everywhere is a kind of harm to the country and will corrupt the country!
Father, let me take my leave. "
Zhang Hao took three steps back before turning around and leaving. Only Wu Fanghai, who was in a daze and deep in thought, was left in place.
After a while, Wu Fanghai shook his head slightly and sighed. He didn't particularly agree with Zhang Hao's words - the life experience of the past hundreds of years cannot be changed immediately. But he also had to admit that Zhang Hao's words sounded very reasonable.
Of course, in Wu Fanghai's view: it sounds reasonable, but it doesn't mean it's suitable. To govern a country, it is not enough to say "reasonable", what is needed is "reasonable". The so-called reasonableness includes compromise on all aspects.
A country that only pursues rationality and ideals will not last long.
After standing for a while, Wu Fanghai didn't turn around to ask Liu Xinyu for help, asking Liu Xinyu to borrow someone for him—he felt a little ashamed today. So Wu Fanghai directly led his elite to the north. "Hmph, without him, Dugu Junjie, I can handle the affairs of the Danyang Kingdom myself. What happened to the cavalry in the Yanyun Kingdom, the main army is still the ground army. Coupled with the big formation of sealing the sky and locking the land, maybe it will be overthrown by a wave Where are the dragon horse cavalry!"
…………
But Feng Zhiling returned to Xuanzhen Sect without any rest. This flight lasted one day and one night, covering nearly 40,000 miles. When he arrived at the mountain gate of Xuanzhen Sect, Feng Zhiling's face was pale and his steps were unsteady. Flying all the way, it really doesn't care about the cost.
As soon as Feng Zhiling landed, someone from the mountain gate came out and welcomed Feng Zhiling inside.
Feng Zhiling stepped into the mountain gate, but when the mountain gate fluctuated slightly, Feng Zhiling's figure disappeared. Lingyin Mountain, where Xuanzhen Sect is located, is a blessed land, a world invisible to the outside world.
After entering the blessed land, you can see the strange peaks in front of you, the waterfalls hanging upside down, and a wonderful mountain and river appearing in front of you. But looking out from the blessed land, you can see the outside world.
Feng Zhiling was not in the mood to pay attention to the familiar scene, and flew directly to the Zixia Hall of Xuanzhen Sect. In the Zixia Hall, the head teacher, elders, deacons, etc. were all present.
Whether it is the death of the god transformation stage, or two, this is a major event that has not been encountered once in decades. Moreover, after Taoist Master Mingxu arrived in Qixia Country, he also sent back an important message: Taoist Master Dingshan was imprisoned by a villain! This is a very serious matter.
A man of Taoism can be killed but not humiliated. For masters, especially for masters in the Holy Land, this is a red line, whoever touches it will die!
Of course, if it's reasonable, that's another matter. 'Reason' is something that is really useful sometimes.
Feng Zhiling didn't care about taking a break, so he began to introduce the actual situation at that time. Feng Zhiling knew everything before Zhang Hao decided to kill Xie Yingxin and Zhao Kai, and arrest Dingshan Daoist Shen Nian.
Feng Zhiling's introduction is very detailed and although Feng Zhiling is usually unreliable, but at this time the introduction is well-founded and does not distort the facts in the slightest.
After the teacher finished listening, he asked: "You said that Xie Yingxin and Zhao Kai appeared directly in the imperial capital of the Qixia Kingdom, and Xie Yingxin always carried Daoist Dingshan's spiritual thoughts with her, right?"
"Yes, Master, this disciple fully confirms it. The divine sense of Daoist Dingshan appeared on the battlefield!"
The head teacher smiled, "This is enough. Since we are on the battlefield, the reason lies with us."
Everyone continued to discuss, and gradually everyone became angry: Daoist Dingshan came to our site to dig walls, and you still want to participate in the war on our side, you really think Xuanzhen Sect is made of mud!
And Zhang Hao's handling was also very relieved. Not only did he kill the "traitor", but he also pinched Dingshan's spiritual sense by the way. This time, the Xuanzhen Sect took the absolute initiative both in terms of reasoning and strength.
Then everyone began to wait quietly for the Xiaoyao Sect to come to the door.
Come as soon as you say it, not long after Feng Zhiling finished speaking, the disciples of the mountain gate came to report, and Taoist Guanyun of the Xiaoyao Sect came to pay a visit.
Taoist Guanyun obviously dressed up, with elegant sleeves, carefree and unrestrained, holding a clean dust whisk in his hand, with a faint but just right smile on his face - calm and proud, distant and not indifferent, looking It is a Taoist cultivator.
Daoist Guan Yun walked into the Zixia Hall of Xuanzhen Sect, walked directly in front of the head teacher of Xuanzhen Sect, bowed in a somewhat casual and carefree manner: "Guan Yunzi of the Xiaoyao Sect, pays homage to the head teacher of Xuanzhen Sect, Hongxuanzi. "
Hong Xuanzi, head teacher of Xuanzhen Sect, frowned, and a cold look flashed in his eyes. Calling people by their names, making bows, and being loose (arrogant), the attitude of the other party is very bad!
But having said that, the relationship between the three holy lands has always been open and secret; in the outside world, in the public, everyone will laugh when they meet, and when they meet in private... that's okay.
Hong Xuanzi, head teacher of Xuanzhen Sect, snorted softly: "Oh, it's Daoist Guanyun, I don't know why Daoist Guanyun came here?"
Daoist Guanyun snorted: "Fellow Taoist, don't pretend to be confused. You Xuanzhen Sect has done good things, not to mention killing our Xiaoyao faction and Taoist companions of Dingshan Daoist, and imprisoning a ray of spiritual thoughts of Dingshan Daoist, and Making dolls. This...is not the way a decent family should do it!"
Hong Xuanzi chuckled: "It turns out that it was Taoist Master Dingshan's spiritual thoughts. I thought it was some shady person who came here secretly to do some shady things. We are not going to be dolls, we just want to Capture evidence. After capturing the evidence, you can't find a way to seal it for a while, so you can only seal it in a doll."
Taoist Guanyun's face turned black, and he opened his eyes and spoke nonsense. If you want to seal up a ray of divine thoughts, there are plenty of means, why do you have to use dolls.
But having said that, this time it was indeed the Xiaoyao faction's fault, and Daoist Guanyun had no idea after all. He shouted forcefully: "Could it be that the Xuanzhen Sect is going to control Daoist Dingshan through this!"
Hong Xuanzi smiled: "Oh, it's meaningless for you to say that. Didn't I say it just now, just to get evidence. If you don't believe it, we can call a public meeting of the three holy places to be a witness together how?"
When Taoist Guanyun heard this, he finally had to give in - after all, he was still wrong. He said slowly: "You are the ones talking now, who knows what happened at that time. I want to confront the person concerned.
You have a disciple named Zhang Hao here. "
Hong Xuanzi nodded affirmatively: "That's right, there is this disciple. He was involved in the killing of Dingshan Daoist Priest and Taoist couple. Oh, he is only a young man in the Foundation Establishment stage. Oh, time is not forgiving, A generation of new people replaces the old ones, and talented people come out from generation to generation!"
Taoist Guanyun: ... I just asked if there is such a person, you can talk so much.
And the masters of Xuanzhen Sect around them all suppressed their laughter. It's too bad for the head teacher—look, the one who killed your Xiaoyao Sect Dingshan Daoist priest was a young boy from our side in the foundation period. Daoist Guanyun, please talk about your feelings now!
Daoist Guanyun's face was ashen, but he still insisted: "I don't believe it! I don't believe that a small foundation-building stage has the ability to threaten the god-forming stage. I want to face it! There must be something I don't know!"
"Okay!" Qing Hongzi said leisurely, "Let the master of the Law Enforcement Hall here, Taoist Master Hong Zhenzi, accompany you for a walk.
Feng Zhiling, you lead the way. "
"Yes." Feng Zhiling responded, without taking a break, and immediately set off with Hong Zhenzi, the head of the Law Enforcement Hall.
Daoist Guanyun of the Xiaoyao Sect snorted and had to follow Hong Zhenzi to the Qixia Kingdom. In fact, Taoist Guanyun has already learned some information from Taoist Dingshan. But in the spirit of prudence, and this matter is also related to the reputation of the Xiaoyao Sect, it is necessary to go to the local area for a walk.
And the most serious thing is that if the Xuanzhen Sect really insists that Daoist Dingshan intervened in the war without authorization, then the Xuanzhen Sect does not have to return that wisp of divine sense, and even asks the Xiaoyao Sect to punish Daoist Dingshan.
The holy land has the rules of the holy land. The reason why the holy land has a transcendent status is not only its ability, but more importantly, it obeys the rules and is respected. If the holy land does not obey the rules, how can it be respected.
Hong Zhenzi drives the flying boat, carrying Taoist Guanyun and Feng Zhiling galloping like lightning. Feng Zhiling finally didn't have to fly by himself this time, he even started to meditate - as long as he can't speak anyway.
In the small flying boat, the three of them kept silent, and the atmosphere was very dignified.
The flying boat flew all the way, surpassing Baiyun, which aroused the attention and curiosity of countless Nascent Soul stage masters, but no one dared to catch up and ask.
The speed of the flying boat controlled by the God Transformation Stage was very fast, and it landed in Guangling City at sunrise the next day. With the light of the morning, everyone saw the ruins of Guangling City from the sky.
Hong Zhenzi, the master of the Xuanzhen Sect and Law Enforcement Hall, looked down silently, at the traces after the explosion of three hundred tons of explosives, at the collapsed city walls, at the collapsed buildings, at the dried blood on the ground, and at the traces left by the bomb explosion. traces etc.
In the ruins, there are still Qixia Kingdom's troops cleaning up corpses and collecting wealth. On a temporarily tidied up ground outside the city, more than a dozen small hills were piled up with belongings, spiritual stones, spiritual materials, magic weapons, etc., which were classified into different categories.
After a while, he said leisurely: "What a tragic breath!"
Then he turned his head and asked Feng Zhiling: "Is this the place where the two deity transformation phases were beheaded?"
"Yes, Master." Feng Zhiling replied respectfully.
Hong Zhenzi frowned for a while, then frowned: "The whole city has been turned into ruins, how many people will die?"
Feng Zhiling sighed leisurely: "At that time, Qixia Kingdom only had one God Transformation Stage, so in order to kill two Spirit Transformation Stages in one fell swoop, we had to use a city as bait.
Therefore, there was not a single survivor in the entire city. "
Daoist Guanyun next to him immediately caught the "handle", "When you were fighting, did you kill a person from a city? Did Liu Dingshan do it? Or was it your Xuanzhen Sect?"
Feng Zhiling immediately said: "The army took action. During the battle, Liu Dingshan only attacked those at the Transformation God stage, and did not attack anyone below the Nascent Soul stage. Even if the Nascent Soul stage took the initiative to attack, Liu Dingshan only blocked the attack, not Kill them."
"How could everyone in that city die? You are so cruel!"
Feng Zhiling was a little annoyed: "I respect you as a senior, please don't spout blood without investigation. Let's go, I'll take you to see Zhang Hao.
I'll give you a reminder, don't get too angry; the spiritual sense of the real Dingshan was almost collapsed by my junior brother. "
