Jing Wenzhong stretched out his arms and said in a suppressed voice: "Everyone." What kind of person is Xu Ge Lao? We all know it in our hearts. When Yan Song was in power. He can deal with each other. When he fell, he cried and begged him to protect his children and grandchildren. He can be indifferent. The man was on his knees. Pull down the face. It's also ruthless. He is good at Taoguang. Now it's just the people under his hands who are publicizing. Not necessarily at his behest. At most, it can only be said that it is an external manifestation of the growing strength of his faction. With his prudence, cunning and decades of immersion in officialdom. A thunderbolt struck in front of me. I can even blink an eye. Such a person. Will the temper follow the rising tide of the power? Even if the tide really rises. Will it behave so bluntly. Take 10,000 steps back. He was so carried away. I want to beat the idea of my alliance with the old stubble of the high arch. But the identity of the people is there. Touch the hall and shake. Affect hundreds of officials. If you don't push to the extreme, you can't be hard with him. After all, what our alliance wants is to revive the DPRK. Instead of disturbing and ruining it. We must always be cautious about this kind of thing that affects the whole body. [Xianmo: The night banquet in Qinfu talks about politics as idle talk. The league legislature and discussion can be involved in the political situation. One is cold and one is hot, one retreats and one advances, one is happy and one is worried, and one is watching and one is participating. This is also the difference between the political periphery and the political center. 】

Zheng Meng said: "Director Jing's words are very correct. Gong Martyr. President Tong and President Luo's concerns are not unreasonable. But Xu Ge Lao sat too high after all. What are the people down there? I don't know you yet. He inevitably has something he can't take care of. We were closer to Gao Ge Lao at the beginning. But he was not far from him. I'll find a chance to get in touch with him later. You have to maintain a good relationship with their people. Don't get too stiff. ”

His beard cocked like a brush. Glaring, he said, "Alliance leader." I don't want to make a fuss. But people have already come to our door. This prostitution house, which is side by side, was completed. Get some more **** leaning against the door and leaning against the frame. Is there a way for our business? Those few entries aren't worth anything. But where are we going to put our face? Opened this head. They don't have to move an inch yet. "He's loud and sound. Although it was not urged. The panes still buzzed.

Master Zheng smiled faintly. Said: "Prostitutes are divided into five classes: hall, building, courtyard, hall, and liao [Xianmo: five places under the woods. Except for one place for "avoiding the sage". The hospital was converted to the outside of the building. The rest can be easily found. Non-idle pen]. Xu Sangongzi is messing around again. I don't dare to open that kind of prostitution in Beijing. Defeat his father's reputation. Since he bought it, it was all a tea house. It must be transformed into a high-class incense house. This kind of incense hall raises more singing and dancing prostitutes. The guests are mainly dignitaries and Confucian literati. It's not too ugly. Let's wait and see for a while. Let's see. ”

Gao Yang saw that the leader of the alliance said this. It is inconvenient to fight any more. I had to take in the gas and list. The morning meeting continued. Chang Sihao listened to what they said. Most of them are the results and progress of some previous matters. I don't know the cause and effect. Most of them don't go up and down. Half-plain. But seeing that the leader of the Zheng League listened and discussed with everyone to deal with it. If the solution to some things is set. And the man in charge immediately went down to the temple to do it. I can't help but sigh at the high efficiency of its work.

This was done for half an hour. This is the end of the morning meeting. Zheng Meng ordered the swords to stay. instructed to arrange a banquet on the Danjian Pavilion for Chang Sihao to formally receive the wind. He walked out. He asked with a smile, "Director Jing." Light rain too. ”

Jing asked a cold face: "This kid goes out." Played wild. It's like a crazy woman. Talk to me one sentence at a time. More and more unspeakable. Zheng Meng said: "I asked Chu Mu to accompany her to see you." The meaning is clear. How. You punished her anyway. Jing asked, "Punish her." How dare you. Her old man is the single disciple of Xue Shanni. In the martial arts, I have a relationship with my peers. How dare I punish her. "Lord Zheng Meng's hearing him say it was funny. I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The swords didn't know about it yet. After listening to Zheng Mengzhu's relay, they also laughed. Gao Yang said: "Lao Jing." You're like a child. Xiaoyu is young and ignorant. Do you deserve to fight this cow with her? Jing asked, "Naturally, I won't." She's so aggressive. Completely attacked by Naimu. I fought with her mother for half my life. The dominatrix has descended. Can't you deal with her? I said okay. You are a monk. You should stay in the temple. Now back home. It's in the family. At home from the father. Father dies from brother. Marry and obey the husband. I'm not dead. Then they locked her in the house. And don't listen to that nonsense. Let her reflect on herself. Everyone laughed [Xianmo: The previous batch of alliances erected rules and destroyed people's feelings. Shen Chunan is the epitome of the alliance. Here's what Jing asked the seed to do. Ruthless. The scary thing is that "everyone laughs". I don't think there's anything wrong with it. People who are in the system. Because everybody is doing the same thing. When this thing is not normal. Big because everybody is doing it. It also seems extremely normal. There's no way to find out what's wrong. This is actually the most obvious political metaphor. The Hundred Swords League is linked to politics everywhere. The inevitable result is ideological alienation. Alienation is their normalization. China is now open. Looking at the Northern Dynasty, I feel ridiculous. That's because we've taken fifty steps and we're looking back. How many people in the world are still looking back at us. The author uses pseudo-jokes to express big thinking. It is precisely in the hope that readers can also think along with him. Eventually, they will move towards independent thinking. If you laugh with these swordsmen. Even if the author doesn't cry. I'm going to cry too. 】。

Although Chang Sihao felt that it was not appropriate for Jing Lingyu to be imprisoned. But the matter between father and daughter. It's not easy for outsiders to say much [Xianmo: Xiao Chang is outside the Hundred Swords Alliance. We may be outside of this world. True. Nothing happened when someone came up and shouted, "Your country has no rights." Of course, everyone is disgusted. But people open their mouths. At least with good intentions and conscience. At least when people feel wrong. Didn't do Martini Mora, didn't do the "silent majority". Otherwise. What does your business have to do with me? I've been in slavery all your life, and I've laughed. Isn't it good. That's not civilized respect. It was indifference and cruelty. Think about it. The Chinese say that everyone sweeps the snow in front of their own door. Don't worry about other people's tiles. How terrible it is. 】。 Laugh and laugh with you. There was no sound. As they spoke, they came to the eastern courtyard. A high pavilion came into view. This pavilion is three stories high. All timber construction. Standing coldly on the open flat ground. Solemn and vigorous. It gives people a sense of loneliness and pride. The dark tones contrast with the bright white snow around them. The group went straight up to the third floor. The rules here are wiped clean. The dark wood floors are matte and shiny. There are more than a dozen spherical three-legged charcoal stoves around the wall. The body of the furnace is carved with a dragon and phoenix piercing the clouds. The pattern is simple. But full of charm. The incense contained in the lid is a foreign foreign product. Now the charcoal in the furnace is red. The warm fragrance in the pavilion is baked. Everyone sat down and drank tea. It's not as tense and serious as it was in the morning meeting. Master Zheng recounted the events of last night to everyone. The content of his conversation with Chang Sihao is also a little bit bit. Wine and food come up. The crowd talked and laughed. All let go of the mood.

Three rounds of drinking. Master Zheng took Chang Sihao's hand and said, "Virtuous nephew." Now that we've made friends. Some words. That's what I'm going to say. ”

The eyes of all the swordsmen were attracted. One by one, they set aside their glasses and listened. There was a pause in the chatter.

Chang Sihao bowed his head and said, "Yes." Uncle has something to say. ”

Master Zheng slapped the back of his hand. sighed: "The current political situation and the situation on the rivers and lakes. You've got it all right. The tragic scene of the people. You've experienced it firsthand. Our Ming Dynasty is still a big country in the Celestial Empire. Brightly lit. In fact, it has already been stormy. If you don't rectify it, you won't be able to. But look at the courtiers. Do you mean it? The people below seek the officials. Wealth for money. There are also a few who take the people of the country to heart. The rivers and lakes are places where the top people stay. There are many capable people. A heroic sword. Speaking of which, they are all dragons and phoenixes among people. A well-known identity. But what are they doing? They do it for their own selfishness. Strive for fame and fortune, seek revenge and revenge. Then he lived in seclusion and became a self-employed man. People are used to this. But that's not how it really shouldn't be. People in the rivers and lakes. It shouldn't be like this...... The rivers and lakes cannot just be filled with blood and rain. Intrigue. It also has to be affectionate and righteous. What is love. It's not that children are in love. You grunt and complain. Instead, they saw the miserable situation of the homeless. Hunger all over the field. Able to be compassionate. Be compassionate. It really hurts in my heart. What is righteousness. It's not for the sake of being angry. Or is it simply and rudely eliminating evil and tyrants, robbing the rich and helping the poor. There are good and bad people in the rich. Crimes are sanctioned by the laws of the country. If you have money, you will recruit and provoke whom. ”

Speaking of which. He shook Sihao's hand vigorously: "This righteous word." The ancient meaning is also appropriate. It is justified. Righteousness is to do things in an upright manner. We need to make people live a good life in the right way. The day when Wei Tianzi, the first generation of the old leader of the self-alliance, founded the alliance. He said it as an old man. The Hundred Swords Alliance should not get involved in the battle of the gangs. It should be a tool for the spread and development of kendo. It is necessary to let more people learn the way through swords. Improves body and mind. Use this wisdom to cultivate. Really give some rewards to this life that gave birth to us and raised us. Do something. That's what he said. That's what it does. Including the subsequent successive alliance leaders. Alliances. They have not departed from this purpose. But it is an alliance organization that exists in the rivers and lakes. Can you really be detached? The trees want to be quiet. The wind doesn't stop. Trouble will always come out of nowhere. Our alliance had no choice but to divert internally. Detach the Sword Cultivation Hall. So that you can study the sword theory full-time. There are no distractions. The Hundred Swords Alliance has vigorously expanded its operations. In order to gain the status and right to speak on the rivers and lakes. There are no human, material and financial resources. Emptiness has a false name and an ideal. What can be done? [Xianmo: Ideals shine into reality. You have to go according to reality. This statement may not be said to be the overall ideology of the Hundred Swords Alliance. But it is the real ideology of Zheng Mengzhu]

The swords listened to him with emotion. I was thrilled for a while. Sighs. Some even have red circles under their eyes. Everyone knows it in their hearts. The Hundred Swords Alliance inherits such a purpose. can go all the way to today on the treacherous and sinister rivers and lakes. It's not easy.

Jing Wen sighed lightly. is also a look of emotion: "Outsiders can only see the growth of our alliance and the proximity to the government and power." Thought we were ambitious. Build momentum everywhere and seize power at all times. even listed our alliance at the top of the three major forces in the rivers and lakes. But I don't know. In fact, this is far from the original intention of our alliance. It's a last resort. Fortunately, the initial hardships have passed. Whatever the purpose of those who have joined our League. After understanding the true meaning of the sword family. They can also stay and do things sincerely. There are more and more people outside the alliance who identify with us. It's hard to find a confidant. See what is happening today. The hardships of the past and the misunderstandings of the past are nothing. It's a pity that the eldest grandson laughs late. Lord Zheng respects him as a masterpiece. Letters were sent many times. I hope the two sides can make friends. Discuss the way to assist the political state. Join the grand event. Let's do something that is good for the people. It's a pity that all these letters are like stones in the sea. There is no return. Juhao Pavilion still goes its own way. Slaughtered all over the Jiangnan martial arts. Alas. He has dominated the heroes of several realms. Win the strength of one side. Do you have to swallow up the world? Unified martial arts. to be complacent. ”

After a conversation on a snowy night. Chang Sihao's thinking has changed a lot. I heard that the lord of Zheng Meng actually intended to get along with Juhao Pavilion. No surprises. He said: "But that eldest grandson Xiaochi is an underworld hero. I am afraid that there is only one piece of the world in my eyes. The more money you make. The wider the coil pipe. The more he rejoiced. I want him to sit down and talk to you about national affairs. Isn't that a joke. "Look around at the swords. Some of them had indignant expressions. There are regrets. Some are lost in thought. They were all silent. There was silence in the hall for a moment. It seems a little depressing.

"When will the wealth and glory last? Huagong Zhubi is moss. ”

Lord Zheng Meng raised his head and let out a long groan. Mighty and magnificent. However, his eyes fell. But there was a little sadness: "No matter who it is." Vertical energy can run rampant in the world. Decades later, it's not the same. Ashes. Man lives in the world. It is inseparable from the words merit and benefit. Sharp. It should be requested. Merit. You can figure it out. But. Seeking merit should seek a hundred years of merit. Tuli. When the picture is good. [Xianmo: It is not said that utilitarianism should not be sought. In terms of what merit and what profit to seek. It's a really great man, a real master, and a real man. It can be seen that the leader of the Zheng League is in the alliance. There are also struggles. 】

Chang Sihao's heart was agitated for a while. Pondering: "Although I have also participated in some things in the rivers and lakes. But I always feel like a spectator in my heart. Out of place with these people. Now. It's finally time to find and take on your own responsibility. Immediately adjusted his posture and said: "Uncle Zheng rest assured." If Juhao Pavilion stays in Jiangnan, it will be. If they really go north. Absolute Sound will not sit idly by. At that time, the little nephew should also give full help. Do what you can. ”

Lord Zheng's gaze penetrated deep into his eyes. It seems to be assessing his mind. Separated by a gap. Said slowly: "I'm worried now." It's not that the eldest grandson laughs late. ”

Chang Sihao was stunned. I thought, "It's not him." Who would it be? ”

Zheng Mengzhu looked away. Said: "Absolutely sound this child." I know. He's a little clever. Small wrists. But often entangled in the branches, unhappy chest. It's a great success. Love is noble in front of people [Xianmo: Although I am three years old and see old. But I haven't seen you for more than four years. If Zheng Mengzhu judges based on his previous impressions, he will inevitably be biased. It can be seen that he has some understanding of the current situation. I dare to say that I have come to this conclusion based on previous impressions. 】。 The word power. He may not be able to take advantage of it. But it must be caught. In his temperament. If there is no one around. What will it look like in the future? I'm afraid it's hard to say. Will the Qin family in Shanxi become the second in Juhao Pavilion? I don't know. ”

He muttered these words. It seems to be very serious. Chang Sihao raised his eyebrows when he heard this. The words are shocking. Unexpectedly. The leader of the Zheng League was secretly wary of Qin Juexiang. And this worry and apprehension. It's so serious. However, he was not unaware of his relationship with Jue Xiang. But he was willing to say it. There is something extraordinary about it.

Lord Zheng turned his gaze to him again. A smile regained on his face. continued: "Fortunately, Jue Xiang is still young. As long as someone can help him. Guide him. You will not go down the wrong path. Children of this age. It's all your own way. I rarely take the words of others to heart. You are of the same generation as him. Age is similar. You'll have to worry a little more about that. [Xianmo: It's for the Qin family. and worry for the alliance. Worry about your child. I also worry about adults. It's for the rivers and lakes. It's also about officialdom. Deal with the rivers and lakes. then don't care about officialdom. This is synonymous with worry. Zheng Meng's master is really "gathering the worries of the world". 】

Chang Sihao smiled ashamedly: "I haven't read a few books for my little nephew." Barely a white ding. Absolutely loud though naughty. But the family education is strict. I also read a lot of books. I know more than I do. He taught me that it was okay. To say help guide him. The little nephew is not qualified. ”

Jiang Shiyou looked at the crowd and smiled: "Chang Shaojian knows etiquette." I can also be humble. This is among young people. It's very rare. All the swords laughed and said, "What Chief Jiang said is true." At this time, Your Excellency came to shout: "Lord of the Alliance." Luo Huxu and Wei Lingchuan asked to see. ”

Master Zheng smiled: "It's just in time." Come on. He didn't bother to raise his voice. The voice is also not harsh. But it's unusually bright. It spread far away.

The sound of pedaling and pedaling stairs. The two walked upstairs. They are all in their twenties. A black robe is like iron. Wide eyebrows and high nose. Handsome. The eyes were shining brightly. An orange robe is like a flame. Kind face. It's just that the eyebrow distance is farther away. The tips of the eyebrows are slightly drooping. With a bit of melancholy. Each of them has an ancient sword in Han costume and cross-carrying. Hanging jade on the waist. The lining is more and more heroic.

Wait for them to finish their salutes. Zheng Mengzhu introduced Chang Sihao to him: "Virtuous nephew." Several great swords in the Sword Cultivation Hall of our alliance are in retreat. You can't see [Xianmo: Thoughtful. I can't see what I want to see the most. If you can't see it, you can't do without a pen. Otherwise, it will not be leaked. 】。 But among their children. Chu Muan, Zi'an them. You've got to know them all. These two in front of you. One is Luo Hu, the son of the Northern Sword and the nephew of Chief Luo. One is Wei Lingchuan, the son of the Southern Sword. On being older than you. ”

Chang Sihao hurriedly got up and left his seat. Give a deep salute to the two: "Little brother Chang Sihao." Met two brothers. ”

The two young men returned the favor. Lord Zheng smiled and said, "The relationship between our alliance and the Qin family. You both know that. Needless to say. In the future, we should be closer to Xiaochang. Come. Let's take a seat. The two nodded yes. Luo Hu, who was wearing a black robe, swept his eyes sideways left and right. Bow slightly. Said: "The little nephew and Brother Ling Chuan heard that there are distinguished guests in the alliance. Not only the swordsmen were present. And he was personally accompanied by the leader of the alliance, Prime Minister Jing and the chief of the three ministries. It must be a great sword celebrity in the rivers and lakes. I thought if I could ask for a lesson or two. It will benefit you for life. That's when the rudeness came. I don't know until I go to the cabinet. It turned out that it was not the predecessor of the master. But it is...... Hey hey ......"

Chang Sihao's heart twisted: "What he said is not right." ”
