Chapter 814: Building Momentum (1)

Wang Mang.

The nephew of Empress Xiaoyuan in the Western Han Dynasty. He is a relative of the emperor. There are nine people in the family who are enshrined as marquises, and five of them are the chief ministers. The people of the clan live extravagantly and are sensual all day long. Only Wang Mang is a clean stream. He is extraordinarily simple, diligent and inquisitive. , often helping the poor, has a very good reputation.

At the same time, he is well versed in the way of being an official, and has been recognized by many dignitaries, calling him a virtuous saint. He was also supported in the early days of the dynasty change, and there were few opponents between the ruling and opposition parties——

According to legend, there are as many as 30,000 words of folk songs praising Wang Mang.

It is a pity that in the early days of the founding of the country, he carried out reforms that were too big. It seemed to protect the interests of farmers, but because they could not be carried out smoothly, the common people failed to obtain practical benefits, and his good intentions caused more intense uprisings.

At the same time, Liu Xiu, the "Son of Destiny", was elected to overthrow the new dynasty established by Wang Mang because of the interests of the landlords.

The above is all the views of Henan Hou Luxu on Wang Mang, and told Lu Li that this dynasty is short-lived and somewhat unlucky.

"He seems to have implemented the royal land system, which took the land of the whole country into the imperial court and did not allow arbitrary trading."

Lu Li whispered.

This is what he heard at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in scattered sentences, and the person who talked about it was a scribe in Bingzhou.

After all, that era was not far from the end of the Western Han Dynasty, and the situation was also extremely turbulent, so it is not surprising that Wang Mang was talked about.

At the beginning, Lu Li didn't take it to heart, but now he recalled it with his powerful memory, and he couldn't help feeling that fate was such a coincidence.

However, before Lu Xu could answer, there were footsteps outside the hall.

Under the leadership of an armored guard, Taoist priests wearing various robes walked quickly, the most conspicuous of which was Zhiqiu Yiye.

The tattered clothes were not clean from head to toe, and there were a few bundles of thatch stuck in the back. He looked like a beggar. If he hadn't been accompanied by the Taoist priest of Longhushan Tianshi Mansion, he probably wouldn't even be able to enter the gate of the Marquis Mansion.

But people should not be judged by appearances. Lu Li knew that this person was familiar with all kinds of Kunlun formulas. He not only possessed the spirit of heaven and earth, but also possessed the great supernatural power to move mountains and seas.

As for the others...

Following Lu Li's gaze, the leader flicked his whisk and bowed to the two people above:

"The poor are pure and empty, and Longhushan is in charge of teaching the celestial masters."

"Nice to meet you."

Lu Xu responded with a smile, and then shouted out of the hall:

"Come here, serve tea to all the priests."

When the words fell, he greeted everyone to sit down.

"Your Majesty is too polite."

Daoist Qingxu was neither humble nor overbearing, and led the people behind him to sit down one by one. Anyway, this is also the residence of the Marquis. Let alone so many people in front of him, even if they come several times, there is enough seating arrangement.

Among the people present, except for Zhiqiu Yiye, the rest are all from the Tianshi's mansion, so they don't need to speak, they just watch their noses, noses and hearts, and after sitting down, they wait for the Tianshi's orders.

"Knowledge Qiu Yiye, a post-knowledge scholar of the Kunlun School, came to help Lord Hou and your son succeed in their affairs in the name of his teacher."

Although he entered the city following Taoist Longhushan, Zhiqiu did not forget his identity. He came here for the mission of the sect, so he had to report himself.

"I am old friends with Jinling Du Zhifu. I heard from him that you have exchanged cultivation methods."

Lu Li looked at Zhiqiu Yiye who got up slightly, waved his hands, and said with a smile, "This is one of our own, don't be restrained, he will come in two days."

Hearing Duke's name, Zhiqiu Yiye really relaxed, with a smile on his face.

If it weren't for the Taoist from Longhu Mountain standing next to him, and the atmosphere in the hall was more serious, he would have put his arms around Lu Li's shoulders and asked some familiar questions.

After saying this, Lu Li first looked at his father who was sitting in the upper seat. Seeing that he was unwilling to stand up and take charge after exchanging greetings, he took the initiative to look at the Taoist Qingxu and said with a smile:

"I already know the purpose of everyone's visit."

Straight to the point.

Because, Lu Li thought to himself, now that the general situation has been settled, it is better to be straightforward than to be vague and test each other.

"Two days later, the enthronement ceremony will be held. If you are interested, please stay and watch the ceremony."

click.

Lu Xu crushed the teacup with one hand because of too much force in his hand. He wanted to see how his son handled things, and he was full of anticipation.

As a result... the enthronement ceremony?

After two days.

Such a big thing, I, as a father, only knew about it.

Moreover, from the time point of view, it is too hasty!

On the side, Taoist Qingxu was also stunned, but he is the head teacher after all, and he has seen many big scenes, so he quickly stabilized his mind:

"It is our honor to be invited by King Xing."

opposite.

Sitting alone in a row, Zhiqiu Yiye patted his chest and said carelessly: "Originally, monks like us shouldn't be involved in state affairs, but the master has orders, and you are a friend of Brother Du, so I'm here to serve you! "

One dares to speak, the other dares to respond.

And they are all so happy and straightforward.

Lu Xu couldn't help feeling that although his appearance and body had returned to youth, his mentality hadn't kept up. He said helplessly, "I'm implying that the rich and powerful will help build momentum."

It seemed complicated and took a long time to explain, but Lu Li solved it in a few words.

And after talking, the atmosphere also relaxed, not so dignified.

"Daoist, is Zhang Tianshi's intention to come here this time?"

Every generation of Longhushan's head teacher is Zhang Tianshi. In the eyes of others, the Qingxu Taoist in front of him is Zhang Tianshi.

But everyone present knew that Lu Li was referring to the first generation of celestial masters who had already been ranked among the immortals.

Taoist Qingxu nodded: "It is indeed the ancestor who entrusted the dream and asked us to be good and assist Xingjun."

"Does Zhang Tianshi have any other instructions?"

In fact, whether it is Longhushan, Kunlun School, or other Taoist schools that have not yet been born, Lu Li is not very fancy. On the contrary, Zhang Tianshi, who seems to have disappeared but is actually still alive and shows his whereabouts from time to time, is more worthy of it. focus on.

"The ancestor only taught us to help with all our heart, and there is no other instruction."

What Qingxu said is true.

Otherwise, he, the head teacher, would not go out of the mountain in person and lead all Gao Zhen with profound morals in Tianshi Mansion to Ying Tian Mansion.

It is no exaggeration to say that if any giant of the monster clan attacks Longhu Mountain at this juncture, it is really possible to break through the mountain gate.

Of course, the chances of such an event occurring are so remote that they are almost negligible.

"In this way, I will thank all the priests."

After listening to Taoist Qingxu's words, Lu Li knew what he was saying, and said politely: "Is there a place to stay? The mansion can arrange it."

"Let's not trouble Mr. Xing and Master Hou. There is a Taoist temple in the outer city. It was the former residence of Captain Dragon and Tiger. There is enough space."

"Well, I'm ashamed to say it. The situation was difficult at the time, and I had to withdraw. Now I have to offer incense to the ancestors and all the great gods to make amends."

"If there is anything, we are at our disposal."

Hearing this explanation, Lu Li nodded, no longer holding back, and turned to the Taoist who was the captain of Jinling Dragon and Tiger, and said, "Han Yu is your apprentice?"
