Chapter 136

Yuan Zheng was called as soon as he came back to the mansion and said that Master Yuan had invited him.

Master Yuan returned to the mansion before noon, and in Yizhai there was a guest.

"I'm sorry for you this time, thank you!" Master Yuan personally cooked a pot of tea and poured tea soup for the green shirt dressed in a blue-clothed Taoist robe. "I didn't expect that the Holy Envoy would receive the secret letter so soon."

Qingshan took the teacup with both hands and said respectfully: "You are polite, Qingshan is a hurry and can't wait. Although Liu Wei is greedy for life and fears death and has many guards, as long as he is not in the house, the house will be quite convenient. If you have other places to use Qingshan, just give me instructions."

"Have you not found that new saint yet?" Master Yuan half-closed the furnace door, letting the tea soup warm.

Qingshan shook her head, "I have found the 23rd deaf and dumb, and I will continue to search."

Master Yuan pondered, "Besides being deaf and dumb, do the saint have other characteristics? Yuan can also help find it."

Qingshan hesitated and said, "However, there is, but the saint must be a deaf person in heaven and earth. It is best to start from this point of view."

Master Yuan no longer asked. Although he dealt with the Saint Maiden, the Sang tribe was extremely mysterious, especially the identity of the Saint Maiden was their supreme secret. There were many things that were bound by the clan convention and could not be told to outsiders.

He suddenly remembered something and said to Qingshan: "The eldest daughter that Liang Shaozai had recovered before was a little mute. I wonder if the Holy Envoy had gone to see it?"

Qingshan frowned, "I've been there, not that person, but..."

"That night when I passed a house in Liang Mansion, I seemed to smell the smell of Heida."

Master Yuan looked up at her. Heida is a mandala with all flowers, including the flowers. The seeds will emit a strong fragrance, which is several times more toxic than ordinary mandalas. They grow in the swamp forest of Miaojiang. Qingshan is from Miaojiang. He should not make a mistake in this.

How could there be poisons from Miaojiang in Liang Mansion?

As the two were talking, Sui Bo came in and said, "Sir, the Fourth Master is here."

Master Yuan looked at Qingshan, "Do you want to see that child?"

Qingshan shook her head, "Qingshan's mission is to protect the saint. The others are not among the ones that Qingshan cares about, so I will say goodbye first."

After saying that, he stood up, bowed to Master Yuan, and walked towards the door. As soon as he reached the door, he disappeared without neglect.

After a moment, Yuan Zheng entered the door and bowed, "Weng Weng."

Master Yuan nodded and signaled him to sit down.

Yuan Zheng glanced at the cup opposite the Grand Master of Yuan at the case, "Do you have a guest?"

Master Yuan picked up his long beard and smiled, "Did you see someone coming out from here just now?"

Yuan Zheng looked outside the door and shook his head.

Master Yuan laughed, "That guest has the magical skills of coming and going without a trace. Look at this."

He pushed a very ordinary cowhide envelope on the desk.

Yuan Zheng looked down and saw that there was no sign on the envelope. He guessed a little bit and opened it carefully.

He took out the letter paper and opened it, glanced at the handwriting at a glance, and raised his head to look at Master Yuan, "The secret letter from the official family!"

Master Yuan nodded, "It was my guest who took it out of Liu Wei's inner house and she will put it back tomorrow."

Yuan Zheng was shocked, "Who is that guest?"

He didn't even dare to think about his ability to come and go freely in Liu Wei's inner house.

"It was what I said last time, the guardian of the San tribe's saint."

"As well a member of the Sang tribe?"

Master Yuan shook his head, "I don't know much about their relationship with the Sang tribe. I only know that this guardian tribe has abilities that are difficult for ordinary people to reach, especially those who are good at sneaking, tracking, hidden weapons, assassination, and even hiding invisibility."

Yuan Zheng only sighed that the world was so great that it was full of wonders. He attracted curiosity and carefully read the secret letter.

The more I looked, the eyebrows became tighter and the hatred in my eyes became stronger. After seeing it, I slapped the letter on the table with a "bang", and blue veins burst out from my forehead.

"Sure enough..." He supported his hands on the table and gritted his teeth. "It was because the official family was afraid that it would be difficult for me to subdue the Lin family army. He asked Liu Wei to find a way to clean up the north. In his opinion, if you don't want Youzhou anyway, you will not be afraid of the threat from the Northern Barbarians! Haha!"

He laughed at the sky, with tears flashing in his eyes, "Silly! How stupid! He thought that if he sent Youzhou to the Northern Barbarians, he could safely defend half of the country?!"

Grand Master Yuan also sighed lightly, "Today I will send you to Youzhou, what will happen tomorrow?" If this continues, the country will be no longer a country, and sooner or later the Han people in the Central Plains will become a place where foreign races are rampant!

He gently pushed a cup of tea to Yuan Zheng and said in a deep voice: "With such an emperor, you and I want to reform it, you can imagine how difficult it is."

His reforms at the beginning, he proposed ten new policies, including "clear promotion and demotion, suppressing luck, focusing on tribute, selecting officials and chiefs, all public land, enriching agriculture and sericulture, building military preparations, reducing corvee labor, and trustworthiness, and paying attention to orders." Just two months after it was issued, it was blocked by the ministers led by Cui Geng and struggling to make progress.

Emperor Yongning, who was finally convinced by him, gradually lost confidence and turned to Cui Geng's side.

In the next year, most of the officials who advocated the new policy were his disciples and were charged with "forming cliques for personal gain", "abuse of power", etc., and were gradually expelled from the court, and the reform was aborted.

If the Saint Empress hadn't appeared and said that the time had not come, he would have asked him to voluntarily withdraw from the vortex center, compile books and teach, and preserve his strength, he would have probably lost more students, even himself and his family due to this reform.

Yuan Zheng took the teacup and looked even more firm: "Your Weng, don't worry, I have made up my mind. Wherever the obstacles are, I will break down."

The Master Yuan nodded lightly. The reform of the military man may be more suitable for this Daliang Dynasty, which is full of rotten flesh, than a pure literary revision like him.

...

On Yan Nan's side, Xiaorou went out of the second door to find Dali, "My wife said she would tell the Fourth Master that this starling is called Awu."

"Just say this?" Dali was a little confused.

"Yes, it's time to send it to you soon, and my wife has to listen to the reply!" Xiaorou nodded.

Dali immediately went out and found Gou Wei's informant. Jiang Laosan from Yashang at the entrance of the alley and said hurriedly, "Transfer the message, my starling is Awu."

Jiang Laosan limped and patted his chest while walking, "Go now!"

Jiang Laosan and Jindou were already very ripe. The doorman called Jindou out. Jiang Laosan lowered his voice and said, "Brother Tsai..."

Golden beans:...

"Ao? Will my starling call that?" Jindou frowned.

Jiang Laosan was also helpless, "Just let this sentence be passed..."

Maybe it's some strange code.

Jindou rubbed the wind-like ears and looked for Yuan Zheng in, and happened to see Yuan Zheng passing by Zhaomingtang.

"Master, Master!" Jindou chased after him and lowered his voice, "Anan came to ask someone to send a message, saying that the starling screamed."

Yuan Zheng was puzzled, his eyebrows were twisted together, "How can the starlings scream?"

Isn't that a dog?

"Don't she like it?" Yuan Zheng asked.

Jindou shook his head, "I don't know, I didn't say anything, just this one."

Yuan Zheng frowned. Could it be that he thought the starling was too noisy?

"Tell her that if she doesn't like to raise her, she'll send it out, it's okay."
