Chapter 42: There is a prince in Jiangshan

A strong man like Xiao Zhang is actually described as a word miserable, which must be really miserable.

Tang Sanshiqiu asked, "Because he saved Wang Po that year?"

Hu Sanshier said: "Yes, he ruined the great affairs of Daozun in Kyoto, and the government and the people were extremely angry. Now the court cannot easily move Wang Po, but how could he let him go? In order to establish his authority or save the face he lost back then, the court has been wanting to hunt him down in recent years. He was driven like a betrayal dog, which was really miserable."

It seems incredible that a powerful man on the list of Xiaoyao List like Huajia Xiao Zhang would be chased by a wanted order from the court so hard.

But don’t forget that there are countless powerful masters in the court. They can change shifts and rest, but Xiao Zhang is just a person, with no relatives or friends. No matter where you go, be careful to ambush. Maybe when you go out to eat a bowl of noodles, you will meet the most sinister assassin of the Qing Lishu Department of the court and the most experienced constable of the Ministry of Justice. Moreover, this kind of life is not a day, it is always every moment, every moment.

Tang Sanshiliu glanced at Chen Changsheng.

Chen Changsheng knew what he meant, shook his head and said, "I asked Li Gong to send someone to the conversation, but he refused to see anyone."

Tang Sanshiliu asked, "Where is Wang Po? What should he do?"

Chen Changsheng said: "The last news I received two years ago was that Xiao Zhang spoke in advance, saying that if Wang Po wanted to help him, he would commit suicide on the spot."

Tang Sanshiliu thought that this really fits Xiao Zhang's personality, and shook his head and said, "He really can't afford to lose this person."

Hu Sanliu said: "The winter wild tea in Fengyang County is famous in mainland China because of Xiao Zhang, so Fengyang County will leave him the best tea every year. If it weren't for the court's pursuit, we might really see Xiao Zhang appear in the next two days."

The two sides of the Xiajiang River are full of tea trees, picked and dried, and many tea mountains are piled up in the city. Among them, the best quality winter wild teas are placed along the stone steps of Qibao Village according to different grades. The higher you go, the smaller the number of tea leaves, and of course the most expensive. According to convention, there are two baskets of the best tea leaves at the top.

Hu Sanliu pointed to the place and continued to explain: "Those two baskets of tea are much more expensive than gold, and they are simply priceless and have nowhere to buy them."

Chen Changsheng asked, "Where were those two baskets of tea sent?"

Hu Sanshier said: "It's all tributes, and a basket will enter the palace."

Chen Changsheng asked, "Where is the other basket?"

Hearing this sentence, Tang Sanshiliu looked at him like an idiot. Hu Sanshier's expression was also a little strange, and he said, "Of course it is for you."

Chen Changsheng realized that since it was a precious tea that was paid tribute, one basket would be sent to the palace, and the other basket would naturally be sent to the palace.

No matter what the court and the state religion are, in small places like Fengyang County, both sides must be worshipped with the greatest respect.

"The same is true for the tea leaves that would have been left for Xiao Zhang in the past?" Tang Sanshiliu asked.

Hu Sanshier shook his head, pointed to Chengbao Pavilion at the highest point of Qibao Village, and said, "The wild tea given to Xiao Zhang is specially made and placed there."

Tang Sanshiliu said: "With Xiao Zhang's temperament, even if you know that the court might choose to surround him here, you might even come over."

Hu Sanyi Er said: "He hasn't been here for two years."

Tang Sanshiliu asked, "Who did that box of tea belong to?"

Ho Sanyi said: "On the surface, it is naturally said that it was not sent out, but many people know that it was sent to the mansion of the King of Kyoto."

Tang Sanshiliu asked with a slightly different expression: "Why is this? Why can the Prime Minister pass through the imperial court and the state religion?"

Hu Sanshier smiled and said, "The prefect of Fengcheng Prefecture is the prince's disciple."

As everyone was chatting, the thin cloud above the sky was suddenly pulled out by a shadow, and a red geese broke through the clouds and landed in the county government in the distance.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of gongs and drums sounded, and a notice was posted, and even the county government office heard the sound of praise and music.

For the past three years, Chen Changsheng has been in Xueling, northern border, and Tang Sanshiliu was imprisoned in an old house and a ancestral hall. He didn't understand what happened.

"The Tianji Pavilion has been replaced." Hu Sanshier's expression was a little complicated.

Only then did Chen Changsheng and Tang Sanshiliu understand what had happened.

In the past, when Tianji Pavilion changed the list, it would basically be around before and after the Great Dynasty Examination or before and after the Tianshuling Monument. Now the Great Dynasty Examination has been suspended for three years, and Tianji Pavilion has been dead in name only, but the list has continued to be replaced, but now it has not much to do with the National Church, and it is basically the work of the court.

This did not affect the credibility of several lists. After all, for ordinary people, the reputation of Tianji Pavilion remains. Now that the imperial seal of His Majesty the Emperor will only make the world more convinced.

The conversation in the teahouse stopped, and everyone was drinking tea quietly and listening to the sounds coming from time to time from the street.

The first one to read was the Qingyun List. With the departure of names such as Gou Hanshi and Chen Changsheng, and with the increasing number of Taoist geniuses who could understand the secludedness of Taoist geniuses at a young age, this list that once represented the potential of Taoist geniuses in Taoism has become less and less concerned, but Chen Changsheng noticed that there were several names he knew on the Qingyun List.

——Fu Xinzhi, Chen Fugui, Chu Wenbin, these are the first batch of students recruited by the National Education College.

It seems that Su Moyu presided over the National Education College in Kyoto and did a good job.

Unlike when Tianji Pavilion was in charge of affairs, when the imperial court changed the list, the gold-spot list and the Xiaoyao List would also be made public. The next one read was the gold-spot list. This time he heard more familiar names, Gou Hanshi, Guan Feibai, Liangbanhu, Zhong Hui... Because of his identity, he and Xu Yourong naturally would not be in any list, but this gold-spot list is still the youngest average age list in hundreds of years. Except for Zhou Dufu and Chen Xuanba's era, there was no time period where so many young people entered the Star Gathering Realm. It is truly an era of wild flowers blooming.

Next is the Xiaoyao List. After Wang Po crossed the border three years ago, he finally left the top spot that he had been guarded by him for decades. Xiao Zhang, who was once the most hopeful to catch up with him, was not qualified to enter the ranking because he was wanted by the court. So the top spot is naturally Liang Wangsun, and below are real strong men such as Xiao De who have long been famous. When Chen Changsheng heard the four words "Da Ming Guan Bai" at the ninth position, he couldn't help but be surprised.

When the Xiaoyao List was read and still not heard the name of Akiyama Jun, he looked upstream of the canyon and shook his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Suddenly, fireworks rose from the county government office in the distance, diluted by the rising morning light. They were not so gorgeous. I thought it was a temporary decision, but I don’t know why.

Why do the county government offices have praising, fireworks, and most importantly... why did the court suddenly change the rankings?

Soon, Chen Changsheng and others on the teahouse and the people on the riverside learned the reason.
