old grace

Under Xie Qinghe's instruction, Longlin Guard has sent two messages to Longcheng.

The one that was rushed to Longcheng was the case of Wang's daughter's patricide, which was tried by the Xingcheng Order. According to the process, it was reported layer by layer, and it would take at least four or five months of the next year to arrive at the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Gu Pingxiang defended Hexi County with dragon scales. The identity of the Yamen Governor was expedited, and instead of taking the normal route, it was handed directly to the Fuyamen of Longlinwei Town, and Li Nanfeng had a look at it first.

Li Nanfeng was busy tightening internal discipline, that is to say, to let the disciples from the Hanjiang Sword Sect figure out their identities.

Of course, it is impossible not to communicate with Shu Hanyun.Li Nanfeng also thought about whether this matter would offend the second senior brother, and considered how to persuade the second senior brother to obey the senior brother's decree, and never get angry with the sect again, but Shu Hanyun didn't show any signs of anger at all, and objected to him, saying, Chong is partial to the world and does not care about the sect, so he should not be reused again—Xie Qinghe did not punish Wen Chong, but Shu Hanyun will severely punish him.

Li Nanfeng could only secretly feel that Wen Chong was unlucky.

It's a mess, there are no people inside and outside.If Wen Chong knew that the emperor was the second senior brother, he wouldn't dare to do anything even if he was given thirty guts.

As for Xie Qinghe's desire to teach secular Taoism and the imperial court to build a yamen specializing in magic arts, Shu Hanyun also quickly approved and began to make preparations.

The Longlin Guard under the control of Li Nanfeng has the functions of supervising all officials and monitoring the world situation. He is usually very busy. In addition, Wen Chong did not dare to neglect the urgent task of provoking the head real person's hair. In class, I suddenly received another message from Gu Pingxiang, who rushed to deliver it.

Seeing the words "Xie Qinghe" written in the file by Xingcheng Order, Li Nanfeng was startled, and swept the teacup with his wide sleeves, and the table was covered with tea stains.

"Isn't it nonsense?" Li Nanfeng complained.

He turned his head to look at the sky, the moon was in the middle of the sky, and when it was almost midnight, the key to the palace gate had already been released, so he planned to talk about it when he met the emperor tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, after sleeping until midnight, a servant knocked on the door to report that Liu Chang'an from Hexi County had returned.

Li Nanfeng woke up instantly after dozing off!

Eldest brother is in Xingcheng, Hexi, Liu Changan came in such a hurry, I'm afraid it was Feiyuan who came to Beijing.Could it be that something serious happened again?

When Liu Changan was invited into the room to talk, Li Nanfeng came out in a robe without combing his hair, and asked, "What's the rush?"

"I don't know if this matter is urgent or not." Liu Changan smiled wryly and cupped his hands in apology, "Eldest brother ordered me to come back immediately to deliver the letter, and I came all the way to Dragon City just at this point, so I didn't dare to go back to sleep first , so I boldly came to knock on the door of Third Senior Brother."

"Let's talk." Li Nanfeng pulled him to sit down in the living room, and a servant girl came to deliver refreshments and hot water immediately.

Liu Chang'an didn't stay in Xingcheng for a long time. Not long after arriving there with Gu Pingxiang, Xie Qinghe sent him back to Hanshan to deliver a letter to Fu Doukou, followed Fu Doukou back to Xingcheng, and was immediately sent back to Longcheng.He only learned of many things after listening to Fu Chuan's recitation during the banquet.

To start from the beginning, it was nothing more than a few incidents in Xingcheng where Xiangu An appeared, and Xie Qinghe went down the mountain to investigate.

Lala went to avenge Wang's daughter, spread the rumors in various ways, and went back to Hanshan to invite Fu Doukou...

Li Nanfeng worked under Xie Qinghe in his early years, and he had to report to Xie Qinghe for advice on handling all matters in the outer sect.Others might not understand what Xie Qinghe was up to, but he understood it completely when he heard it.What's more, there is the dossier handed over by Gu Pingxiang.

"I understand. Go back and rest first. I will talk to you tomorrow when I come out of the palace." Li Nanfeng said.

Liu Chang'an works in Hexi County, so it is impossible to live in Longcheng for a long time.He thought that it might not be easy for the elder brother to send him out, so he might have to stay in Dragon City for a few more days to catch up with the brothers who stayed in Dragon City.How could he know that Li Nanfeng said it so easily, as if the matter would come to fruition when he enters the palace tomorrow to see the emperor, summon him immediately, and ask him to return to Xingcheng to return to the senior brother?

He has a relatively close relationship with Li Nanfeng, and he is not as trembling as he is to the real head of the sect. He directly asked: "Senior brother Li, can the emperor easily agree to this? Senior brother asked the court to allocate money to Xingcheng to build the Xuannv Temple. How many old gentlemen can agree?"

Li Nanfeng shook his head and said, "Do whatever you can."

Liu Chang'an also has his own ideas: "If you want me to say, if you really want to upset the emperor, let's stop eating the rice bowl of Longcheng, and go back to the mountain as soon as possible. Although the eldest brother is in charge of the sect, the old man Aren’t you still there? Senior brother is also a direct disciple of Shangguan Daoist, if you visit Feixian Caolu, you may not be able to go back.”

Liu Changan's purpose was not to turn against Longcheng, he just wanted to go back to the mountain to practice the Jin Nei Gongfa newly bestowed by his elder brother.

Ever since the news of the Jin inner cultivation method bestowed by the senior brother spread to the outer sects spread from Hanshan, many outer sect disciples who followed Li Nanfeng to Longcheng had hidden complaints, saying that it was widely spread to the outer sects, but the disciples who were in charge elsewhere They all went back to the mountain on duty, but there was no movement in Longcheng.

Of course, Li Nanfeng also regretted it, thinking that he had delayed the cultivation of these brothers - who would have thought that the senior brother would come up with such a big killer?

Unfortunately, at that time, under the guise of Fu Chuan, Shi Qin was frantically writing letters to Longcheng to train Li Nanfeng like a gray grandson.Li Nanfeng naturally thinks that the environment in the mountains is harsh, and the elders and juniors are all hating him.At that time, if he wrote a letter to intercede on behalf of this group of outer disciples, he would be humiliating himself. What Li Nanfeng was really worried about was that once he angered the big brother, he would cut off his way out.

Therefore, no matter how much the people below complained, Li Nanfeng should be coaxed and suppressed, but he didn't think of a way to solve the matter.

This time when Li Nanfeng returned to the mountain, he should congratulate the official, and felt that the situation on the mountain was not as bad as imagined.

The story of Liu Chang'an was brought up again, Li Nanfeng was silent for a moment, and made a decisive decision: "You all want to go back to the mountain to practice, I know about this matter. No matter what happens in Longcheng, if you find the right time, I will ask the big brother for instructions. You take turns to return to the mountain to ask for the Dharma pulse. Don’t worry about this.”

"Thank you, senior brother!" Liu Chang'an was overjoyed, "If the affairs of the Xuannv Temple can be handled properly, senior senior brother will definitely grant permission."

In order to please the sect and learn the methods in Jin, selling the emperor is a matter of minutes.

Li Nanfeng was so tormented that he couldn't sleep at all, he said, "I know how to measure. Go back and rest first, and come back tomorrow."

The next day.

Li Nanfeng pinpointed the time when he was leaving the court, and we will see you in the palace.

There were three ministers standing in front of him, and after politely saying a few words, the Palace Supervisor came to greet him: "Please wait a moment, Your Majesty, General Wei, to have an audience with him immediately."

These three ministers are also used to it, the emperor's favored ministers have the privilege to jump in line to see them at any time.

Li Nanfeng said politely, followed the palace warden into the room, the palace warden nodded and bent over to help open the curtain, and said "please, please, third master".

"I thought you didn't have time to come in today because you were on business in the Zhenfu Yamen, why did you come into the palace suddenly?" The emperor had just changed into his imperial uniform and was eating.The palace supervisor on the side prepared the tableware for Li Nanfeng very sensiblely, and added a mound to the side of the imperial table.

The emperor ordered his servants: "Take a few bowls of food here to Li Shangshu, and invite them to eat first."

The courtiers always enter the palace to wait for the court at dawn, and it takes a long time to finish the matter, and they are usually very hungry when the court is over.The emperor will have a meal when he is in court, and it is common to entertain the ministers who come to see and talk about things.Today, Li Nanfeng suddenly jumped in the queue, and the emperor didn't intend to let a few precious ministers go hungry outside.

After settling down the ministers outside, seeing Li Nanfeng's face, the emperor shunned the palace guards and maids serving in the palace.

Only then did Li Nanfeng hand over the documents sent by Longlin Guard from Xingcheng to the emperor for his review. By the way, he said about Liu Chang'an's night trip to Longcheng: "Eldest brother must have made up his mind to accomplish this."

"Two-pronged approach." After reading the file, the emperor couldn't help sighing, feeling a little difficult.

Since ancient times, the imperial power did not go to the countryside, and the villagers were in a state of the jungle, and whoever had the biggest fist had the final say.The senior brother's attitude is very clear, since the imperial power can't control the bottom, he intends to put spikes on the weak at the bottom.

Asking Liu Chang'an to deliver the message in person has a different meaning.Zongmen decree, do you dare to resist?

He also asked Long Linwei to send the Xingcheng order to judge the case of Wang's daughter's patricide case, but it is not allowed to deal with it in a muddy and ambiguous way-this matter needs to be discussed by the court, and the court must handle the money for the construction of the Xuannv Temple.The emperor opened a private treasury and issued a decree to build a temple, that would not work!You must cross the clear road.

Liu Changan delivered the message to Li Nanfeng, and Xingcheng Ling and Gu Pingxiang delivered the message to the Emperor Zhou Chao.

Li Nanfeng saw the emperor's eyebrows frowned slightly, thinking that he was suffering from a headache and this matter was difficult to handle.Unexpectedly, the emperor put his finger on the file and said: "I used to meet stupid officials who bullied the people. He drew his sword and killed them. He killed them and left. Now it's still a bit of face for me. I follow the law. law to do it."

"Little brother is also very ignorant. Since he is serving by his side, how dare his name be put on the test paper? He spreads all over the cabinet every day, and this person dares to call everyone by his name. Isn't it absurd." He said, The emperor actually threw all the dossiers brought by Xingcheng Ling and the letters sent by Gu Pingxiang into the brazier and burned them all.

Li Nanfeng didn't know what to say, so he could only take a sip of the almond tea in front of him in a daze.

Seeing that the file was completely burnt, the emperor just slid his wheelchair and told Li Nanfeng: "You will write to the Dragon Scale Guard at Hexi later, asking them to reorganize a document. Master Xie respects you and won't allow you to see it." All in calligraphy."

"Is this the point of this matter?" Li Nanfeng was completely speechless, "Eldest Brother wants to build the Xuannv Temple, he wants to enter the world."

"Isn't it good to join the WTO?" the emperor asked back.

Both of them are inner disciples of the Hanjiang Sword Sect who are closest to Xie Qinghe in age. When Xie Qinghe was the head disciple, both of them were in charge of general affairs in the outer sect and were directly responsible to Xie Qinghe.Xie Qinghe's thoughts and attitude towards world affairs may be ambiguous to others due to Xie Qinghe's respect for Shangguan Shiyi, but they are the most clear.

"Eldest brother is cultivating the way of the world. How can I cut off his future if he wants to practice in the world?" the emperor said.

This sentence is very heartless.

It's not that he is unfeeling to Xie Qinghe, but he is unfeeling towards the common people in the world.

He stayed in Fu Wei's skin for eight or nine years, and he has been doing his best to care for the people and govern the world, but it was never because he cared about the world.

It was only because Xie Qinghe ordered him to rule the world and atone for his sins that he conscientiously became the emperor.He neither loves the world nor sympathizes with all sentient beings, making the world stable is his punishment, and making the people healthy is the only way he can please his elder brother.

Now that Xie Qinghe wants to practice in the world, he naturally wants to sacrifice the well-governed world and let the senior brother use it.

"What's more." The emperor looked at his immobile legs, "I will not be able to worship the mountain gate again in this life, and he will definitely not go to Dragon City lightly."

"Inside and outside the world, if there is any involvement. There are many opportunities to come and go, maybe one day something that needs to be interviewed, he... can still come to see me." The emperor looked lonely, "Nanfeng Junior brother, I haven't seen him for a long time. I can't even see him in my dreams."

Li Nanfeng thought of what he saw in the mountains that day, the faint intimacy between the elder brother and the younger brother, always felt quite unusual.

However, there was no definite news about this matter, and he did not dare to casually tell the second senior brother.

"Your Majesty, the past cannot be lost." Li Nanfeng reminded.

The emperor couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, he thumped his unconscious leg, and said, "Of course I know. Today, he is disabled and old, and he is no match for him. He is the shadow of a crane above the sky, and I am the shadow of a turbulent world." Rotten sludge... I just, want to see him again."

"Just to see you." The emperor said softly.
