[067] The waves in the capital are treacherous
Feng Yu was quite surprised when he looked at the person coming.
He didn't expect that he would meet Xiang Yuan, who had met Qingzhou, not far from the capital.
Xiang Yuan was full of excitement. Before the carriage stopped, he jumped down and rushed closer a few steps, bowed: "My benefactor, I didn't expect to meet you here! If it weren't for your help, Xiang had already separated his wife and his family and his family was destroyed. He wanted to thank his benefactor before, but Lord Zuo said that his benefactor had already left. Now he met God's will! Please ask your benefactor to be with him and accept Xiang's benefactor!"
Feng Yu supported him.
Hearing him mention "Master Zuo", he asked, "Honor Ling has returned safely?"
Xiang Yuan nodded repeatedly and said, "Mr. Zuo cracked down on the case of Bi Wanqing plundering a young child in the Yellow River Gang, and the dog son returned successfully. It was from Master Zuo that he learned the truth that he had learned the great deeds of the benefactor and was always in his heart!" As he spoke, another woman holding the child came down from the carriage, which was Xiang Yuan's wife.
Mrs. Xiang also received favor from Feng Yu, so she hugged the child and went up to see him.
Feng Yu felt helpless and comforted him: "It's so cold, don't let the child get cold! I have known all your gratitude. Don't be so polite. Go back to the carriage!"
Xiang Yuan was also worried about the body of Mrs. Xiang and his young son, so he asked them to return to the carriage first. He talked to Feng Yu in the snow. Feng Yu also knew that after he left, he contacted the Yi County Government to do a good job of finishing the trivial matters.
All the captured children have returned home safely.
Zuo Qianfeng escorted the criminal headed by Bi Wanqing of the Yellow River Gang to the capital. After calculating the time, he arrived at the capital earlier than Feng Yu. Xiang Yuan learned that Feng Yu was also going to the capital, and without saying anything, he enthusiastically invited him to go with him.
This place is only one or two days away from the capital, so he doesn't need to hurry up. Feng Yu thought about it and agreed. It would be okay to slow down and appreciate the prosperity of the Daqian Capital from the side.
He rejected Xiang Yuan's proposal to give up his carriage, and just had a horse, and slowly headed towards the capital like those accompanying servants.
Although chaos in the world has become apparent and the people are struggling to survive, there is still a prosperous scene in Shuntian Prefecture. The official road is much spacious and flat than Qingzhou. Even if it snows in winter, the official road will organize people to clear the official roads after the snow clears. Pedestrians and merchants will not delay their trips because of the road.
Xiang Yuan was extremely grateful to Feng Yu, and was respectful and warmly entertained along the way.
One day later, they entered the capital.
At noon, Feng Yu and they had dinner in counties and towns outside the capital. Although they were suburban counties outside the city, the bustling shops on the streets were comparable to those in other cities. After the meal, Feng Yu rode his horse and followed the team for another hour, and a towering city suddenly came into view!
Daqian Capital!
The city tower stands tall and magnificent. The single city wall is ten feet long, making the city tower even more spectacular! From a distance, the capital city is like a majestic giant beast, crawling on the vast land. The official roads in all directions are wide and flat, forming several veins of the capital city. Even in winter, there are endless business trips between the official roads!
Feng Yu stood up and stood up.
His eyes flashed with clear light, and he was using the Taoist "technique to look at the energy" to see the atmosphere of the capital.
But above the magnificent imperial city, majestic luck gathered, forming a majestic dragon-shaped body like a mountain entrenched under the sky. The dragon-shaped body seemed a little turbid, and the dragon's head seemed to be floating on the dusk air, but the entire dragon body was still thick and mighty, majestic and magnificent. As Taoist Xuan Ji said at the beginning, the energy of Daqian had not yet reached the end.
If so, then Taoist Xuan Ji's proposal is indeed a good solution.
It will be easier to gain the trust of the Dagan government and expand the believers of the Dayan Demon Subduing True Lord. At that time, he will be able to gather more powerful forces in a shorter time to deal with the gradually turbulent chaos in the world. Of course, there must be a prerequisite for this, that is, the person he selected can be wise and can truly become the revival master who works hard to govern, otherwise Feng Yu would not be willing to help the evil.
Xiang Yuan worked as a Beijing official in the Ministry of Revenue in Beijing.
The official position is not big or small, and there is also a mansion. Feng Yu originally planned to arrive in the capital, so he said goodbye to him. Xiang Yuan was unable to refuse his affection and invited him to stay for two days. So he entered the city together and did not go far. He saw a group of people gathered in front of him, with notices posted on the wall inside the crowd, and there were officials guarding him below the notices.
The onlookers read the notice, and they were all moved and talked a lot.
Feng Yu sat on the back of the horse, his eyes were farther away. He saw the content of the notice at first glance. After browsing it briefly, he couldn't help but say "huh" in surprise. Xiang Yuan was also riding a horse, but he couldn't see that far. He only knew what a group of people surrounded and talked about, so he smiled and said, "So many people were crowded together, and he didn't know what the notice said."
Feng Yu glanced at him and said, "It was the current emperor's documentary notice issued by the emperor to instruct the crown prince."
"Ah?" Xiang Yuan was stunned, and then his expression changed drastically, "The emperor issued an order to urge His Highness the Crown Prince? How could this happen! The Taoist priest please wait a little. This matter is of great importance. I know the details in the inner world!"
He was about to turn over and get off the horse, but Feng Yu grabbed him.
"After the notice, there are so many people. Where can you squeeze in? Or I'll just read it to you."
Xiang Yuan looked at the crowd tightly, and after awakening, he smiled bitterly and said, "Then it's a good job, Master!" Feng Yu shook his head and signaled it, and then he read the notice word by relying on his extraordinary eyesight.
Xiang Yuan's expression changed drastically.
Especially after hearing words such as "tyranny", "unvirtuous", and "few mercy and stingy", they were even more worried and expressed in their eyes! Can those who are now praised as such can bear the responsibility of inheriting the throne?
What's more, it's not just a criticism hidden in the deep palace, but a direct decree and promulgation that was announced to the public! The intentions of the priests are undoubtedly revealed. The position of the prince may have a storm in the near future. Since ancient times, any storm involving destruction will form an important storm that cannot be ignored.
Xiang Yuan was an official in the capital, and how could he avoid such a whirlpool of power?
He almost forced himself to get angry, and then he welcomed Feng Yu to his mansion. After he arranged Feng Yu's residence, he didn't even care about the dinner, so he first sued himself and left the mansion to visit his familiar colleagues to find out the major events that had happened in the capital recently.
Interestingly, Feng Yu thought that this would be the last one tonight.
Unexpectedly, night was approaching. After Xiang Yuan returned to the mansion, he ordered his servants to arrange a banquet and invited Feng Yu to drink together. But after entering the banquet, Xiang Yuan just drank and was taciturn, showing an unprecedented loss of composure.
Feng Yu was so keen. He saw at a glance that after Xiang Yuan returned from the door, he had been in a state of losing his mind. He thought that he had heard some unexpected news and was so excited. After making friends, Feng Yu couldn't bear to see him so depressed, so he waved his hand and asked the servant waiting beside him to pour a cup of white water for Xiang Yuan.
Then he transformed into the water with a "Ning Shen Talisman". He stopped him when he poured his cup and drank it, and said, "Drinking it will hurt yourself. Just drink me."
Push the cup of talisman water over.
Xiang Yuan didn't think much about it. He took the talisman water with depression, raised his head and drank it all.
Soon, the spiritual power of the talisman water spread, and Xiang Yuan's lost restless mind gradually calmed down after a glass of water. His reason returned. Although he was still stimulated by the news, his mood calmed down and immediately realized how rude his behavior had just been.
After awakening, he apologized repeatedly. Feng Yu did not accept it and asked him, "What happened? You are so uneasy?"
Xiang Yuan shook his head, and an ugly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the bitterness was beyond words.
"The Taoist priest is a person in the direction. He should not have disturbed Xiang's own family affairs. In fact, he suddenly heard about this. Xiang was confused and even lost his composure!" Xiang Yuan sighed, "Xiang just found a colleague and asked the whole story of the emperor's decree. It turned out that it was related to the case that Lord Zuo handled in Qingzhou! Xiang did not expect that the instructor behind the bandits of Bi Wanqing of the Yellow River Gang would actually be related to His Royal Highness the Prince!"
"Prince?!"
Feng Yu was stunned and frowned and said, "Why don't you know if there is a person named 'Wu Hairu'?"
Xiang Yuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Wu Hairu, the 'Miscellaneous Alchemist' mentioned by Taoist Master, Lord Wu?"
Feng Yu nodded, but Xiang Yuan shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of this."
"Ha~" Feng Yu laughed, and had not asked for it yet. He only thought of his heartbroken appearance just now, so he couldn't help but ask him, "Before this, Lord Xiang, was he standing on the prince's side?"
Xiang Yuan was silent for a moment and nodded slowly.
Feng Yu said curiously: "Although I am a hidden person, I have heard of King Yanqing of Qi and both civil and military, and King Yantai of Hui and Yantai is virtuous and virtuous. Only the current crown prince is extravagant, stingy, arrogant and unruly. The current reprimand is enough to prove it. Why did Lord Xiang choose to support the crown prince before?"
Xiang Yuan smiled bitterly, and his face showed a look of shame.
After a moment of pause, he sighed and said, "The Taoist Master is a hidden practitioner. He is not deeply involved in the secular world, so he does not know the plot of the officialdom. If Xiang wants to be fair, the three most popular heirs, the prince, the prince, the king of Qi, and the king of Hui, may not have much difference in their minds, character, and abilities. Even the king of Hui, who is the most famous, cannot win a few points compared to the prince. The reason why there is such a huge difference in current popularity is that the prince did something and accidentally harmed the rich family of Shilin and completely lost their support."
"The reputation of King Qi and King Hui is not enough. Xiang is in the capital and is in the whirlpool of the officialdom. Can he still not know what is going on? They are just the people behind them, arguing with each other and promoting the achievements!"
"Oh~?"
Feng Yu was very surprised. What happened to the news that Taoist Master Xuan Ji found was such an inside story?
Then he said in confusion: "Since you know the hidden secrets of fighting for power and profit, why did you suddenly change your position and hate the prince? Maybe this time it was still someone else's conspiracy, and the prince was just plotted?"
Xiang Yuan's face suddenly turned dark and said awkwardly: "At first, Xiang thought it was like this. But after exploring it, we learned that the evidence of Qingzhou was all there, and Dali Temple was responsible for accepting the case. The iron evidence was as strong as the mountain. The prince had already bowed his head to confess his guilt in court! Dali Temple covered the royal dignity, so there was a verdict of "the imperial guards were unknown"!"
"Um--"
Feng Yu suddenly felt a little headache.
Fighting for power and profit is not something he wants to get involved. If the truth of the matter is as Xiang Yuan said, wouldn’t it mean that all the three heirs are birds of a feather? If he wants to get involved, Feng Yu would rather give up this path directly. At worst, he would learn from the "Jigong Monk" who is in the lower realm of the Buddhist "Dragon Subduing Arhat" and travel around and traverse all the unfair things to come happily!
Of course, listening to both sides will make it clear, and listening to it partially will make it dark.
He still has to verify the facts himself.
