At the ten-day regular meeting, after Yang Deshui listened to Fan and Zhao's plans for the martial arts conference, he made another request, that is, to strengthen the security and protection of Prince Zhu Yan, and he must not make the same mistake as the last time at Dingguo Temple.

.

Fan Xiaodao said: "So we chose the Temple of Earth as the venue for the meeting. Firstly, it is a royal garden, guarded by officers and soldiers. Secondly, the terrain is open and not convenient for ambushes. Moreover, Deputy Commander Liu of Ouchi has already arranged for thirty masters of Ouchi

Guard, it’s not a big problem.”

With the Dingguo Temple incident, Liu Qi got a blessing in disguise and left the Forbidden Army and went to the East Palace to take charge of the crown prince's defense. Now he was promoted from a school captain to the position of deputy commander.

Fan Xiaodao said again: "Master Yang, His Highness has arranged an errand for us."

"What errand?"

Fan Xiaodao said, "Isn't this going to be my Jianghu Dream Speech Contest? Your Highness asked us to select five people from the six families to be the judges."

Yang Deshui looked at everyone present and asked for their opinions.

Li Beihai, the prison prosecutor, expressed his position: "Our prison prosecutor is not busy recently. If there is a shortage of people, I will sign up first!"

Lu Peng, the Records Secretary, laughed and said, "It's already enough nonsense to hold a martial arts conference, but now I'm going to have another Jianghu dream of mine, ha! At the end of the year, our Records Department will hand over files to Dali Temple, and we may not be able to recruit anyone.

Come!"

Several other yamen departments also said that the new year is approaching and there are still many things to do in the department. They are all carrots and pitfalls, and manpower is tight. Originally, the martial arts competition is the business of the Jianghu Division, and there are no regulations in the other yamen offices.

Participate in the political disputes.

This made Yang Deshui very angry, "Xiao Dao, Zhao Xing, Li Tisi, including me, there are four of you. If you refuse to help, then I will call your name!"

As soon as the point was made, everyone's eyes dodged and they leaned back on the chairs, for fear of being pulled over and causing some kind of martial arts competition. In this damn weather, if you don't lift your pants in time to urinate, it will easily freeze into icy crusts, hiding in the middle of the night.

Isn’t it nice to have a fire in your room? You have to go outside and endure the cold weather!

Yang Deshui pointed at everyone with his finger and said: "click on Doudou, whichever one you click on is that one!"

As soon as the word "ge" came out, it happened to be pointed at Niu Dafu, who came in to add boiling water to everyone. Everyone said, "Congratulations to Niu for catching his head, and a day trip to the Temple of Earth."

Niu Dafu was shocked: "What's going on?"

Fan Xiaodao told him about Jianghu Meng's judges, but Niu Dafu refused repeatedly, "Everyone here is a big boss. How can I be a judge? How can I dare to be a judge?"

Yang Deshui looked unhappy, "I said you have it, you have it, let's call it a night!"

Everyone left.

Li Beihai stayed and said to Fan and Zhao, "Master Yang is angry."

Fan Xiaodao also found it strange that the meeting was going well, but why did he suddenly become angry? Li Beihai sighed, "Compared with when Lord Zhuge was here, the execution of the Six Doors this term is not good!"

Zhao Xingshen feels the same way.

In the past, Zhuge Xianyu would stand at the six gates and raise his arms, and everyone would respond and be full of energy. The people were still the same people, but Yang Deshui was replaced to take charge of the work. Everyone felt a little uninterested, just clocking in to spend their days, not looking for distinction, but just

Please don’t make mistakes.

Fan Xiaodao said, "I think Li Tisi responded quite positively."

Li Beihai smiled and said: "It's because this is something arranged by His Royal Highness. His affairs, no matter how small, are big things. Other things, no matter how big, are nothing. The speech contest is indeed ridiculous, but the order

Coming from the top, the more ridiculous it is, the more profound it is. You have to see through the phenomenon to see the essence."

"What essence?"

Li Beihai said: "Since the imperial court wants to recruit various sects and select a few watchdogs, then it must be obedient, right? This is true for the world, why not for the officialdom? Master Yang is angry not because of the judges, but because of his words

, not many people below are willing to listen.”

Fan Xiaodao said, "In this case, Mr. Yang is also in charge of the work, why not replace those people?"

Li Beihai kept the secret and smiled meaningfully, "This is the capital, and the relationships here are complicated. Who is in the palace? There are not many relatives and friends in the major yamen? It's difficult to touch them!"

Fan Xiaodao nodded: "I have learned a lot."

Li Beihai said, "We haven't had a good drink since Xiaodao left Tilaosi."

Fan Xiaodao was very busy with the martial arts conference, so he could only say: "Next time for sure!"

Although the various sects have objections to the arrangements for the martial arts conference, especially my Jianghu dream, which has caused the various sects to complain. However, there are exceptions.

In the latest issue of Xiaosheng Jianghu, a signed article by Li Juefei was published. The title is "My Dream of Jianghu". The owner of Chunfeng Yeyu Building did not hesitate to praise the court's new Jianghu policy and combined it with his personal experience.

, telling the story of how he went from an unknown stable boy to a "world-famous" hero step by step. Without any bragging, it was definitely that he took advantage of the imperial court's promotion of the Jianghu New Deal, responded to the imperial court's call, and maintained a close relationship with the imperial court.

Working in unison has led to his current glory. Of course, there are a lot of personal things mixed in, and he puts forward his understanding and opinions on the Jianghu New Deal.

Immediately afterwards, Shaolin, Wudang, and the four major aristocratic families were not to be left behind. They published articles in Xiaosheng Jianghu one after another. Although the wording was different, in short they were firm support for the new policy of the imperial court. In addition to not being the first to eat crabs, they

At any rate, it’s not too far behind.

Suddenly, public opinion changed drastically.

Originally, the implementation of the New Deal was for the imperial court to strengthen supervision and restraint on the world. Although the major sects were unable to change, they were resistant. Now that several major sects have followed, seeing that it has become a fact, it is better to perform well and strive for a success.

good result.

Prince Zhu Yan's reputation has also improved greatly. At the court meeting, many court officials praised the Jianghu reforms proposed by Zhu Yan. Firstly, it is conducive to social stability. Secondly, it is conducive to selecting talents for the army. Thirdly,

Great things can be accomplished by concentrating the idle power of society.

Some are happy, some are sad.

Princess Taiping was not very happy.

With the death of Yu Ren, Princess Taiping lost one of her right-hand men. Prince Consort Qian Shoudao was a piece of mud that could not be used to support the wall. Li Juefei of Chunfeng Yeyu Tower and Princess Taiping were also at a distance from each other and were not under Princess Taiping's control at all.

Internally, the relationship between the two is more like a cooperative relationship rather than a subordinate relationship.

What's even more terrible is that after Yu Ren died, no one took over the accounts, intelligence network, and business he left behind. Especially the more than 10 million silver in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, there was no trace, and he was busy

The incident at Taiping Taoist Temple made it impossible for her to deal with Prince Zhu Yan for a while.

When I was at my wits' end, my maid came to report that someone came to see me.

Taiping looked at the person who came. He was twenty-four or five years old, with thick eyebrows and bright eyes. He smiled and said, "I know you. Aren't you at Liumen? Why did you come to my house?"

The visitor said: "I want to find a job."

"Oh?" Princess Taiping became interested, "What kind of job do you want to do?"

The young man said: "I have come to recommend myself to be the master of your house."

"By you?"

The young man said: "I can do everything that others can do, and I can also do what others cannot do."

"Prove it to me!"

The young man took out a letter from his arms and handed it over. Princess Taiping read it, her frown relaxed, and she immediately decided to ask for someone, "It's really good."

"Thank you for the compliment, princess."

Princess Taiping patted the edge of the bed and said, "Sit over here and give me a squeeze on your feet."

The young man was stunned and stood motionless.

Taiping frowned and said, "I can do this thing, but you can't do it?"

The young man moved and came to her side. Princess Taiping stretched out her hands, untied the hosta from her hair, put her hands around his neck, and whispered in his ear, "What happens next is what any man would do."

Bar?"

The young man took a deep breath, pushed Princess Taiping away, and said seriously: "Princess, I came here on an errand. I hope to use my skills to help the princess. I don't dare to make any distinction between men and women.

think."

Princess Taiping has grown up and is proud of her unparalleled beauty. She was rejected for the first time in a relationship between a man and a woman. She found it interesting and asked, "Do you have a family?"

"Not yet married."

Princess Taiping nodded and smiled, "That's good, it saves me having to do it myself." She ordered the maid, "Tell the cook to prepare the food and wine. I want to entertain Mr. Ding, Mr. Ding, tonight."

…

The fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

The warm sunshine is a rare good weather.

In the Ditan Garden, colorful flags were flying.

Under the archway, there is a huge banner: "The First Jianghu New Deal Launch Conference and Martial Arts Vocational Skills Competition."

This place was originally a royal garden, and ordinary people could not enter easily. If it were not for Zhu Yan's identity, even the six gates would not be able to hold this conference in the Temple of Earth.

In the garden, there was a post every three steps and a sentry every five steps. Taking a lesson from the past, the imperial court mobilized a thousand forbidden troops and a thousand elites from the three major battalions for this meeting. It was said that it was difficult for birds to enter.

Different from the last Dingguo Temple, this conference implements a registration and invitation system. The number of sects participating in the conference is limited, and they are all well-known figures in the world. They enter based on their identity, so it is difficult to fake.

The agenda is relatively simple. In the morning there is a publicity meeting, which takes place in the Imperial Room, where Prince Zhu Yan rests. In the afternoon there is a speech contest and a professional skills competition, which are arranged at Fang Zetan.

The four major sects and the eight major aristocratic families are considered to be the first-class sects and sit at the forefront. The eight gangs and ten sects of thirty-six holes, which have weaker influence and are only slightly famous in the local area, sit in the middle. As for those like Daji,

Even though unpopular gangs such as the Jinzhen Sect and Yanzitang were also invited, they could only occupy the last place.

Li Juefei of Chunfeng Yeyulou was also invited because of his article on Xiaoshengjianghu.

Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing arrived at the Temple of Earth early in the morning. Although there were specialized personnel to arrange the venue, they still inspected it carefully before returning to the imperial room to prepare for the upcoming martial arts conference.
