Chapter 42: Not even a moment to mourn for the King of Liao
Because Lu Xingshi has the extraordinary wisdom attribute brought by the 100 points of comprehension attribute, he did not practice from the basics as before, but after learning all the skills, he directly practiced the "Kunpeng Swallowing the World Spiritual Classic".
As long as you practice the highest quality "Kunpeng Swallowing the World Spiritual Classic", all the skills below, such as "Wind Control Skill" and "Sea Control Skill", will gain 50% experience at the same time, so the progress is very fast.
Murong Xuan was amazed by this scene, and once teased Lu Xingshi that he was the real remnant of the previous dynasty.
Since Murong Xuan knew his identity, his attitude towards the Dasong court has also changed, especially in his awe of the imperial power, which has also slowed down.
Lu Xingshi also complained about Murong Xuan's royal bloodline, but these words were only said when there was no one on the road, and he would not say them in public to avoid getting into trouble.
'Beiming and the 100-point three-dimensional attributes are all explaining the problems of this world. ' Lu Xingshi looked at Beiming in his hand.
The nine +100 attributes on this magic weapon are incompatible with this world. On the contrary, the +1 breaking momentum on the yellow sand heavy sword of the Desert Mad Knife is the normal value.
‘Maybe it is related to the cave heaven? ’ Lu Xingshi couldn’t help but think of the cave heaven that Murong Xuan mentioned.
“What are you thinking about?” Murong Xuan saw Lu Xingshi staring at Bei Ming in a daze, a little confused?
“Nothing, just thinking about some related skills.” Lu Xingshi didn’t say his problem, even if he said it, Murong Xuan wouldn’t know.
“The King of Liao is dead.” Murong Xuan didn’t dwell on it too much. He couldn’t help Lu Xingshi in cultivation, so he changed the topic. From beginning to end, there was no news that the King of Liao was clearing the court or rebelling. This matter was handled in a low-key manner, so he fell into the water instead of being demoted to a commoner or beheaded in public.
“What’s the situation? Isn’t he strong in soldiers and horses?” Lu Xingshi asked curiously.
He thought that the King of Liao would die, but definitely not now.
"It shouldn't be, how did he die?" Lu Xingshi also muttered.
"He fell into the water." Murong Xuan said with a hint of sarcasm: "Too hasty."
The King of Liao was not a weak prince, but a strong and powerful man. He was not only a military general, but also a wanderer in his early years. Although he has been slack in recent years, he was once a first-class master.
How could he fall into the water? It could only be someone who did it.
"It was that person." Lu Xingshi thought of the current emperor.
"No, it's not him. The current emperor is kind." Murong Xuan denied Lu Xingshi's guess, and then said: "It just looks like the King of Liao violated the interests of civil officials."
"I know that group of literati have pens, but why did they let the King of Liao fall into the water?" Lu Xingshi was a little confused.
Falling into the water was just a publicity. The actual death was probably due to being surrounded or poisoned.
He still had a good impression of the King of Liao, especially the other party's behavior of buying horse bones for thousands of gold.
"Words can also kill people." Murong Xuan didn't know how he did it, but he knew the current emperor. He was indeed a kind person, so he was just a puppet of the court officials and could only write, paint and do art in the imperial study every day.
And this is also a wise emperor in the eyes of all the ministers.
Otherwise, how could Murong Xuan be both a teacher and a friend to him?
"So the King of Liao is really clearing the court??" Lu Xingshi's brain circuit turned and found the blind spot.
Murong Xuan sighed and didn't say anything, but he also acquiesced.
This matter also has the support of the current emperor, otherwise how could it be so smooth, but the ministers certainly didn't want to, it's a pity that the emperor couldn't do it, and ended up like this.
"Then how to deal with Saibei, the King of Liao is the Dinghaishenzhen." Lu Xingshi connected them all at once.
Because the King of Liao wanted to get rid of these civil officials who controlled the court, Saibei was cut off from half a year of salary.
In fact, it was also sent out, but it was not certain where it was sent.
The entire northern frontier can be maintained, and it is indeed thanks to the King of Liao. He has flaws in his work, but it does not mean that he has no ability and merit.
"The barbarians are scared by you and will not dare to come again in a short time. As for other threats, they are not as strong as the barbarians. With the King of Liao's troops, there will be no chaos in a short time."
"As long as it is handled properly, the people in the court will recruit them with gentle means, and nothing can be done." Murong Xuan is a scholar of Yunzhang after all, and has some political experience.
"But if you gentlemen want to kill them all, then it won't be... the end of the cow?" Lu Xingshi never underestimated the intelligence of the nobles in the court of Dasong, but he did not overestimate how powerful they were.
They dared to cut off the salary of the soldiers guarding the border, and dared to kill the highest commander, and this man was the son of the emperor. What else did they dare not do?
Wouldn't it be better to cut off the roots and replace them with their own people?
In recent days, Lu Xingshi also learned from Murong Xuan that the court was full of cliques and corruption, factional struggles, etc. However, the public opinion was well controlled, and people in the underworld and outside the court were not aware of the situation in the Dasong court.
All the problems were caused by the treacherous and corrupt officials who deceived the emperor, and had nothing to do with the loyal officials like them.
As for who the treacherous and corrupt officials were, they must be eunuchs and officials who failed in the struggle.
Eunuchs were the minions of the royal family, so they had to be suppressed, and officials who failed in the struggle were either worthless or political enemies, so they had to be dealt with.
Killing people does not necessarily require the use of a knife.
Just using your mouth and pen can ruin a person's reputation and make him hunted down.
The entire Jianghu is more like a vicious dog in the hands of the court officials. It should have belonged to the court, but the power fell into the hands of the officials.
"This... shouldn't be so foolish." Murong Xuan's face changed slightly.
"It shouldn't be, but it's probably impossible to use the method of appeasement to recruit people with civility." Lu Xingshi knew that the officials did not need an unruly and disobedient frontier army, but a knife that completely obeyed them.
"Who cares? It's not my business if they don't want to make trouble."
Lu Xingshi reacted and realized what this matter had to do with the two of them. Murong Xuan had already resigned from the post of Yunzhang scholar. Although it was an honorary title, it was also a pit position, so the process went quickly and he was allowed directly.
"Yes, I have already made peace with the late emperor and His Majesty." Murong Xuan thought of this and felt relieved. He had done all the dirty work for so many years, and Lv Xingshi had saved Tiange Pass. If they were to commit suicide and cause trouble again, what else could Murong Xuan do?
He couldn't let Lv Xingshi take action again. Murong Xuan didn't have the face to say this. Besides, he only had one disciple, and he didn't want Lv Xingshi to get involved in these troubles.
