He reviewed the memorials as always until late at night. After reading the contents of a memorial, he threw the memorial on the ground in anger and said angrily: "Damn it."

The eunuch quickly knelt on the ground, picked up the memorial, and said, "Your Majesty, don't be so angry."

The new man took a deep breath, calmed down, and after a while, he said, "Give me the memorial."

The content of the memorial was that the border troops in the north asked him for military pay.

It turned out that except for the desert in the east, Liang Kingdom had enemy countries on the west, south and north, especially the powerful grassland empire Tuyuan Kingdom, which was the nomadic empire that could compete with Jin in the most glorious era.

Therefore, the heavy troops hoarded in the north of Liang Kingdom were to resist the invasion of Tuyuan Kingdom. But I don’t know how much food and money I spent in recent years. The army in the north never won a battle, but every time it was time to ask for food and money, it was not ambiguous at all.

The most ridiculous thing is that there was news from the army in the north that he colluded with the demons and forced the Supreme Emperor to abdicate the throne, which made the country wrong.

The new king was angry and could not express it. If it weren't for the acquiescent of the military leaders, how could such news be spread in the army at will. He didn't know that the military's military was strict. Any rumors in the army could spread must be related to the acquiescent of the senior management in the army.

These people simply want to get benefits from him.

It would be fine if they could win the battle, they were all covered in wine and they would have the nerve to ask him for salary.

But he knew that although he had stabilized the court, he had no real armed forces to rely on. Once these military leaders were aroused to rebel, the situation would be out of control.

But these people were too greedy and actually asked him for one million taels of military pay. I really thought that the treasury of Liang Kingdom was full of gold.

After getting angry, Xinjun rubbed his temples and finally wrote the word "correct" on the memorial.

He then continued to read the next memorial with a calm expression. He was really a very rational person. He knew that losing his temper was just to relieve his mood and could not change the facts. He still had to do what he should do, and he didn't need to be upset about it.

While the new king was working hard for national affairs, the old king met with envoys from the northern border troops in his bedroom. In just a few months, he had gray hair. Power can make people energetic, and after losing power, it can make people age quickly.

"You want to support me again?" said the old king.

The messenger said, "Yes, the prince can compare with His Majesty. The Kingdom of Daliang needs you."

The old king flashed a hint of enthusiasm. Recently, many old ministers have come to complain to him. After all, many of the old ministers he raised have become marginalized in the court. But the enthusiasm in his eyes soon disappeared because he remembered the national master. These people would not understand how terrible the national master is. As long as the national master is still in Liangguo for one day, he would not have other ideas. Without power, he would at least be alive, and the prince did not have more measures to restrict him except not allowing him to leave the palace at will.

In the royal family, it is very common for father and son to fight each other. In contrast, his son is already very kind.

The old king sighed and said, "You are all loyal to the new emperor, he did not force me to give way."

The messenger showed a look of surprise and said, "Your Majesty, is it because of the national teacher? But Your Majesty doesn't have to be afraid of him. Even if he has three heads and six arms, he cannot defeat our 100,000 elite."

The old king shook his head and said, "You don't need to ask, don't come to me in the future. Go back and tell your generals to be loyal to the new king."

The envoy wanted to persuade him again, but the old king waved his hand, flashed out two guards, and invited the envoy out.

Although he was mediocre, he suddenly became a little more awake after thinking about the national rank. These people did not want to support him and restore him. It was clearly no different from the national rank, and he also had the intention of being unjust. He suddenly woke up. It seemed that the generals of the border army in the north had not changed for many years.

The old king never liked to manage the court affairs, but then he suddenly realized that he didn't seem to know much about Liang Kingdom.

He clapped his hands, and an old eunuch came in and said, "Grand Prince, what are you asking?"

The old king said, "Go and call the prince."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he remembered that the prince had become the king.

The old eunuch said: "Your Majesty should be reviewing the memorials now. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to bother him now."

The old king said: "It's very late now, why is he still reviewing memorials? Is there so many things in the country?"

The old eunuch whispered in his heart: It’s only you who feel that the world is peaceful.

He said: "I don't know much about the things outside the palace, but after His Majesty ascended the throne, he reviewed memorials until late at night every day. I think a lot of things happened outside."

The old king said: "It's like this every day?"

The old eunuch said, "Yes."

"No wonder he rarely comes to see me. It turns out that he is busy dealing with state affairs. You go and tell him that I have something to ask him to come here." The old king couldn't help feeling a little sorry for his son. He was still human after all, and the prince did not commit any rebellion, so there was still family affection between father and son.

…………

"What, do you say that my father has something to do with me?" Xinjun took a sip of ginseng tea to refresh himself.

The old eunuch knelt on the ground and said, "Yes, the Supreme Emperor asked His Majesty to go."

The new king nodded and said, "Okay, I will go over and pay my respects to him now, you can step down first."

When the old eunuch retreated, the eunuch beside the new king said, "Your Majesty, will there be any problem? I have received a report here that someone from the northern border army secretly entered the Supreme Emperor's bedroom."

The new king said: "There must be something that my father has to do with me, but I believe that he will not harm me. As for the people from the border troops in the north, they are just talking bad things about me. In this big place, no one can do anything to me."

After sorting out his appearance, the new king went to the old king's bedroom to meet him.

Seeing that the old king had grown a lot, the new king was also a little sad and said, "I have seen my father."

The old king said, "I heard that you are busy with political affairs every day, so I shouldn't have disturbed you, but recently someone in the government and the public seems to be dissatisfied with you. I asked you to come here just to remind you that it is better to be fair and be careful."

After hearing the old king's words, the new king disagreed and said, "Are the border troops in the north dissatisfied with me?"

The old king nodded and said, "Just a man from the northern border army came to see me and told me something."

As soon as he said this, the new king felt warm. If the old king hid this matter, it means that he really wanted to restore the throne, the new king had to take some extraordinary measures, but that would make him very sad.

Xinjun said: "Thank you, father, for reminding me, the child will be careful."

He thought for a while and said, "When my father used to take the elixirs from the national master, his complexion was much better than now. I heard that my father had finished the elixirs, so the child went to ask the national master for some."

The king said angrily: "I don't want his things even if I die."

The new king sighed. In fact, it was because the father was unauthorized. He first drove away ghosts for you, and then gave you elixirs. As a result, he sent someone to tear down other people's Taoist temples for a woman. No one could bear this tone. Moreover, the national teacher is so capable that the father did not consider it in advance.

But Xinjun knew what his father had, so he didn't say anything else. The father and son hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they chatted for a while. But now they were still a little embarrassed when they got along. Not long after, Xinjun said goodbye and left.

In this way, time flies, and years pass by, winter goes by and spring comes, and February comes.

Although the northwest is a bitter and cold place, it is already a little warm in February. The new king has free time and decided to go to Baiyun Temple again.

I was still on a tour in a very small way, but before I could reach the foot of Baiyunguan Mountain, I found a cliff.

The new king said to the left and right: "Last time, there was no such cliff."

They said, "No."

The new king said in confusion: "Have you taken the wrong path?"

He looked ahead again, and the green mountains were faintly looking at it. There was a temple on it, revealing a corner of the eaves, which should be the White Cloud Temple.

He said left and right: "Look, your Majesty, there is an iron chain there."

The fog floated under the cliff, and I don’t know how deep it was. Only a lonely iron chain connected the two sides. Although Xinjun had guards around him and his martial arts were quite powerful, the mountain wind was not stable and the iron chain was not thick. The guards didn’t have the courage to carry the king over.

They were in a dilemma when they suddenly heard a song:

Watch the chess and the tree is rotten, the wood is cut down, and the valley is slowly walking by the edge of the clouds.

Selling firewood and selling wine, laughing wildly from the love.

The autumn path is high in autumn, facing the moon pillows the pines of the pines, and the sky is dawn.

Recognize the old forest, climb the cliff and cross the ridge, hold an axe to break the withered vines.

It is collected into a duct, and the market is full of three liters of rice.

There is no competition, and the price is average.

You can't make plans, have no honor and disgrace, and live a peaceful life.

Where we meet, we are either immortals or Taos, and we sit quietly and talk.

Looking around, it was a woodcutter. He saw a pair of cloth shoes, carrying a bundle of firewood of about a hundred pounds, stepping on the thin iron chain, singing a song, walking vigorously, and soon walked over from the other side of the cliff.

Xinjun said: "I'm afraid this person is not a strange man, so we come forward to stop him and ask."

After getting the command from the new king, he stepped forward to stop the woodcutter.

The woodcutter said, "Where did you come from? Why do you stop me?"

The new king came over and said, "Brother, I see you crossing this iron chain bridge as if you were walking on flat ground. You should be a very capable person, so you want to make friends."

The woodcutter hurriedly said, "You official, don't give me a thumbs up. I have no ability. But a few days ago, somehow, the land here suddenly cracked and a cliff appeared. I have to go up the mountain to chop firewood to subsidize my family's income. With this cliff, I can't enter the mountain. I have old people above and young people below. If I can't cut firewood, my family will have to drink the northwest wind. I'm not afraid of laughing at the official, but that day I started crying at the cliff, but unexpectedly, I brought the gods from Baiyun Temple on the mountain. He asked me why I cried.

I told the truth. After hearing my complaint, the gods said that the cliff was made by him, just to prevent idle people from entering the mountain. He saw that I was pitiful again, so he pulled out an iron rope and told me to step into and out of the mountain in the future. I have always been timid, not to mention that it is just a lonely iron rope. I dare not step on it, so I begged the gods and find a way for me.

The gods taught me a set of steps. He said that this is called Tiyunzong. If you practice well, you can even step on the white clouds in the sky. After I learned it, I easily stepped on the cliff on the iron chain. When I went home, I told my wife that he asked me to repay the gods and repay the gods. I took the local chickens and eggs from my house and caught a fish in the river to send them to the temple. You just heard the song I sang, and when I went to the temple, I heard the gods chanting, and I remembered it by the way."
