Since Wang Hongyi has not yet been proclaimed emperor, he still has a record of 18 years.

In January of the eighteenth year of the reign of Jinling

Lai Tongyu and Xue Yuan have both entered Jinling, Lai Tongyu has entered the Ministry of Rites, and has a serious errand, but Xue Yuan is hanging the official of the fourth grade of the Fengchao doctor, and he is very idle.

Wang Hongyi has found a way for a person like Xue Yuan who is not high-minded, which is to "raise"!

does not give real power so as not to make mistakes, but hangs on the official position to raise, the so-called residence and migration, as long as you are not afraid of waste, you can always slowly raise it.

One day, this man went to the door of a mansion.

This person is a prudent Taoist who took refuge in Wang Hongyi!

This time, he was preparing to build a Taoist temple in Jinling City.

"Building a Taoist temple in Jinling City will definitely be helpful to our sect," said the master Depu Daoren who was cautious and clear, and thought like this after seeing Jinling's qixiang.

I saw that at the gate of this house, someone passed in, and after a while, someone came out: "Please." ”

When the Taoist walked into the door, he saw Xue Yuan coming out: "It turned out to be the Taoist chief, please come in." ”

I saw that although this mansion is not too big, but it is very exquisite, there is a delicate rockery in the courtyard, and the snow on the rockery has not yet melted! The corridor is left and right, and there are zigzag railings, and after a few steps, you can see a hundred trees and plums, all slightly with red bodhisattva.

The people of the Qing Dao praised: "So elegant, not half a moon, this plum huā will be impressive." ”

Xue Yuan was also a little proud, and arched his hand and said, "This is the king's reward."

This Taijie, originally there were many mansions of the relatives of the Great Yan Emperor, each mansion was magnificent and magnificent, the courtyard was set of small courtyards, the pavilions were even clouds, and the courtyards were deeply hidden, and now it was naturally cheaper Wang Hongyi, and it was used to reward meritorious heroes.

And Xue Yuan is now in the fourth grade, the lord stone rice per month, and the monthly salary is 25,000 Wen, which is relatively rich, and it is more than enough to feed the family, but if you want to socialize a lot, you will be able to catch it.

However, Wang Hongyi advocates meritocracy and does not prohibit business for profit.

Although he did not go to the Song Dynasty to learn "more provident money, the city and the house to leave the children and grandchildren, and the song and dance girls to live all the year", and there was no Song Taizong's edict: "Let the two systems discuss the art of political abundance" (let the officials study the way of financial management and wealth), but the attitude is very clear, so many people have a way.

Even Xue Yuan opened a shop in Jinling.

When they arrived at a hall, they put wine on the table, and used a hot pot, which was stored with shochu on the inside, and lit it with fire, and the flames were blazing, but there was no smoke and fire.

The two ate and enjoyed the beautiful scenery, and at the end, served tea.

"Recently, I heard that you are going to build a Taoist temple, and I will also donate fifty taels of silver. Xue Yuan said.

The Taoist priest saluted: "Thank you, sir."

And almost at the same time, the outer nave.

"Your Majesty, the people of Depu Dao have arrived outside the palace. ”

"Let him in. ”

"No. ”

After a while, the inner attendant came out of the side hall and said to the Depu Taoist outside, "Dao Chief, please." ”

"I'm tired. After thanking the waiter, Depu Daoren entered the side hall.

After entering, he walked in, and at a position more than ten meters away from the upper seat, he saluted: "Poor and chalky Depu, I have seen the king." ”

"No need to be polite. Wang Hongyi looked at it with a slight smile, and treated these people with a relatively polite attitude.

As long as the other party does not fool himself and does not frame himself, he will not punish him, but every day in his territory, the other party must abide by his law and discipline for one day, and this is no exception.

"The Taoist chief sees that he is lonely, but for the sake of building a Taoist temple?" Depu Taoist once sent someone to write a book, otherwise Wang Hongyi would not have been allowed to come so easily.

"Your Majesty, it is for the sake of building a Taoist temple," Depu Taoist saluted.

"This matter has been understood, and the Taoist chief plans to build a temple in Jinling, but he has found a place?" Wang Hongyi said.

Unexpectedly, Chu Wangju agreed so easily, and Depu Daoist hurriedly said: "Because of the haste of coming, and without your permission, I have not found a good land." ”

"This matter is alone, after you go down, you can go and look for land. Wang Hongyi said: "When the time comes, I will have my own door number." ”

Hearing this, Depu Daoren hurriedly thanked him.

Seeing that Depu Daoren responded, Wang Hongyi said slowly: "The Taoist is fine, please take care of yourself." ”

"The poor road is retired. Watching Depu Daoren walk out of the main hall, Wang Hongyi thought about what happened some time ago.

Jinling is a treasure land, since the smooth pacification of Wudi, some of the practitioners who assisted him have written to request to obtain a place in Jinling to establish a temple and Taoist temple.

Wang Hongyi will not object to this.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report!" was thinking, when someone came in from outside the door, knelt down on one knee, and said in a report.

"Present it. Wang Hongyi said.

An attendant came over, took the information in his hand, checked it slightly, and handed it over to Wang Hongyi.

Receiving the information in his hand and unfolding it, Wang Hongyi frowned.

Perhaps stimulated by itself, the grassland has developed faster than in history, and now a large number of grassland tribes have basically been co-opted, up to 1,000 households.

I'm afraid that it will only be a year at most, and there will be a large-scale invasion next year.

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhang asks to see you. At this time, someone outside the temple reported that he was talking.

"Ask him to come in. Wang Hongyi said.

At this time, it was Zhang Youzhi.

At the same time that Wang Hongyi received this information, Zhang Youzhi also got the information, Zhang Youzhi didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the grassland, but since Wang Hongyi faintly revealed that the other party was behind the enemy, Zhang Youzhi paid more attention to this information.

After a while, Zhang Youzhi walked in from outside.

"The minister Zhang Yuzhi has seen the king. In front of Wang Hongyi, he saluted respectfully.

Wang Hongyi said: "Zhang Qing is exempt. ”

and let people give Zhang Youzhi a seat.

Then he said: "Zhang Qing, you came just in time, there is a piece of information here, you can look at it first." ”

At this time, he stayed in the temple to serve, and there was only one inner servant who was close to him, and the others had already retired.

The chamberlain took the information from Wang Hongyi's hand and carefully handed it to Zhang Youzhi's hand.

Zhang Youzhi unfolded this information and said, "This is exactly what the minister wanted to say when he came to see the king. Your Majesty, the minister still doesn't know that the grassland is already strong, so "I have consulted relevant information during this period of time, and it is really shocking"..."I wonder what countermeasures the king has?"

"The Hu people are ambitious, have the intention of annexing the Central Plains, and will definitely invade the Central Plains within two years" The grassland cavalry has always been brave and brave, and in the past two years, they have also been worried."

"There is another matter for the king, I don't know if I should talk about it?" Zhang Youzhi said.

Wang Hongyi glanced at him: "But it's okay to talk about it." ”

Zhang Youzhi said: "A few days ago, the minister read some information on the grassland and found that there are a large number of Han people around Huerbo, the fourth son of Hu Dahan, and there is a person who is quite revered, the Taoist name Deyang, is a disciple of Jin Shiqing of Beiming Dao, and this Taoist with a group of disciples is now assisting Huerbo's side" This matter is not a secret, and the king has long known about it?"

Wang Hongyi nodded: "This matter has indeed been known for a long time. ”

"Why is the king still close to the Depu Daoist?" Zhang Youzhi frowned slightly: "Even if the seven branches of Beiming Dao are their masters, they must have a connection, and the king is not worried that when he arrives at Guan Qian, something will happen?"

"I've thought about this for a long time. Wang Hongyi shook his head at Zhang Youzhi and smiled: "Zhang Qing doesn't have to worry about this matter anymore, he has to make a decision by himself"

Wang Hongyi said this, Zhang Youzhi didn't say it anymore, but after exiting the hall, he still didn't like Depu Daoren in his heart.

It is inevitable that such a person will be suspected of being suspicious.

Besides, Depu Daoren, after leaving the palace gate, he got into the carriage and went straight out of the inner city, secretly relieved.

The red dragon has been completed, and some of it is overwhelming him.

When I first saw the king of Chu, I just felt quite majestic, but now it is unfathomable.

Lifting the car window, I looked towards the inner city that had gone out, only to see that in the palace, the red qi condensed and rose up, hovering in the air, like a giant dragon!

Of course, these ordinary people can't see it, at most, when they enter the palace, they feel majestic everywhere.

Thinking of the senior brother who went to the grassland, Depu Daoren sighed again.

He had also heard a little about the situation in the grassland, although they were their own masters, the contact between the two had not been interrupted, and he had also learned some about the situation in the grassland from his senior brother.

From the words of Senior Brother Deyang, it can be seen that Senior Brother is very satisfied with Hu Erbo, whether it is Hu Erbo's own strategic courage or strength, it is not trivial, and even Deyang Dao people have a faint intention to persuade themselves in the letter.

"Where will the true dragon fall in this world?" As soon as he thought of this, Depu Daoren smiled slightly bitterly.

If it weren't for Master's calculations that day, how could this have happened?

There is a faint competition between the brothers and sisters of several veins.

But now that I think about it, Master values the grassland black dragon.

can be seen by him, the red dragon has been completed, and the strength of the king of Chu is no worse than that of the grassland.

With this in mind, the carriage arrived at the lodgings.

Some disciples who came to Jinling with him greeted him and told him about the matter of Enzhun Jianguan, and the Taoist priests present were very happy.

Another official came to the scene, saying that he was ordered to supervise the construction of the temple, and Depu Daoren thanked him.

From this day on, preparations began to be made.

At the same time, after thinking about it, Depu Daoren still wrote a letter to his senior brother Deyang Daoren.

Almost at the same time, a group of people was in Baimingshan.

The last dragon vein of this Great Yan has already lost its dragon qi now, and at this time, although it is small under the snow, it can stretch for hundreds of miles and is covered in it.

The withered trees on the mountain shook in the wind and snow.

More than a dozen people dressed in oil coats, soaked boots stepped on the dirt road, making a noise, searching for it in the mountains.

The leader was a man of about forty years old, with a white face and a cold gaze, standing on a rock and watching.

After a while, one person came down and saluted, "Uncle Shi, we have searched three times, but we haven't found the Pingshan seal." ”

"Hmph, if you don't find it now, it will be difficult to find it later. The man stared and said slowly, "... Look for it again now, you guys are careful!"

The man was stunned for a moment, and said, "Yes! We all know that it matters, but we have looked for it several times, and we have taken it for the two traitors." ”

The middle-aged man was stunned, thought it was possible, and said, "No matter what, search again." ”

"Yes!"

The crowd got busy. (To be continued.)
