Li Chengfeng's name was shouted out for the first time in Shenjing, but it was because of the Chu people. Most of the other people in the city were secular mortals. They didn't know much about what was happening in the spiritual world, let alone the recent earth-shattering attack on the prince. The two demons appeared in the world but were killed immediately, not to mention the fact that Li Chengfeng used an absolutely weak position in the Lingshan sect to first counterattack to the top in a personal battle, and then led the Zangjian Pavilion to defeat all the way in the Tiange War. , and finally once again miraculously defeated the opponent and reached the top again.
Mortals in the world don't know it clearly, but practitioners who focus on intelligence collection know it all too well.
Li Chengfeng appeared in front of them like a person jumping out of a crack in a stone. Two months ago, almost no one knew about this person's existence. Two months later, he was famous all over the world and everyone in the spiritual world knew it. !
"Is he Li Chengfeng?"
"I heard that he killed the two big demons, Old Demon Leiyun and Jue Wuji?"
"It is said that this boy is the leader in both individual battles and Tiange battles in the Lingshan sect's assessment rating! It is true that a boy is born out of a hero!"
"Tch, just because of this young boy? As far as I know, the reason why the Tiange War was won was because the acting master of the original Zangjian Pavilion sacrificed his life and severely damaged Qianshanxue, so this boy took advantage of him. As for Lei Yun Lao Yao and Jue Wuji, hey, that's because You Yun and Her Royal Highness the Princess are by the side! Otherwise, he could kill two demons in a row. If he has this strength, what else can we compare with? Just give the laurel crown to He got it!"
"Is what brother said true?"
"Tsk, what's the trouble in knowing this? My Tianji Tower knows everything, everything!"
"Then from what I see, brother, who can be the leader in this world's best fighting competition?"
"Do you even need to ask? Of course, the Heyi Sect's Chu Ren Kuang, Wuxiang Liu Jiang Bomiao, the senior sister of Lingshan Sect, Fengwu Pavilion's Qu Youyao and... No way, Her Royal Highness the Princess also wants to participate in the fight?"
The monks who were watching the fun looked at Zhao Feiyue in shock one by one, and Li Chengfeng was even more shocked when he saw Zhao Feiyue casually signing the application form, and blurted out: "You also want to participate in the fighting competition?"
Zhao Feiyue smiled slightly, but before she could speak, the officials in the room immediately scolded: "How dare you be rude to His Highness!"
The official was about to call other guards to come forward and pull down Li Chengfeng, a madman who dared to call the princess "you", but an adjutant next to him immediately stepped forward, pulled him aside, and whispered: "Don't flatter me wrongly! Be careful to blow a pool of spring water, it will be thankless!"
The official was dissatisfied and said: "The etiquette and laws are the same, how can we violate them!?"
The adjutant said with a half-smile, "It depends on who wins! Didn't you read the newspaper? Our princess has a sweetheart!"
The official was startled, glanced at Li Chengfeng quickly, and whispered, "Is that him?"
The adjutant smiled and said meaningfully: "Isn't that true? Now Her Royal Highness the Princess has made a clear-cut decision to support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Do you know what this means?"
The official immediately became horrified. He whispered: "Don't you, Your Highness, never like to see cultivators? Why did you suddenly change your gender this time? Could it be that there is an adulterer by your side, having sex in private?" At this point, his eyes were already filled with evil spirits. Murderous.
This official was wearing the official robe of the fifth rank, and he was a doctor of the Department of Ceremonies of the Ministry of Rites. It seemed that he was only a fifth-rank official with a low rank, but the doctor was in charge of six ministries and twenty-four departments, and he was the only one with real power in the court. Senior officials inferior to the prime minister, minister, and minister.
The prince's tutor, Zhang Datong, had a very high prestige among the scholars and held a first-rank official position. However, he was neither a prime minister, a minister, nor a minister, so in terms of real power, he was not as powerful as the man in front of him.
And this person is an important official of the most powerful prince family in the capital, named Gu Cangping. There are many officials like him in Daqi Shenjing. Most of them have the common people at heart and want to follow the prince's passion to save Daqi. Scholar.
These people cling to each other in the officialdom, have extremely strong moral values, values, and outlook on life, and are extremely hostile to people with different ideas from them. At the same time, they are extremely wary and wary of people with different ideas who appear around the prince. hostility.
And these officials, like the prince, have extremely strong hostility towards practitioners. They all believe that the most fundamental reason why Daqi is in this situation is because there are practitioners who are suppressing it, which leads to the collapse of Daqi. Exploited at all levels, now overwhelmed, the empire seems to be in bloom, but in fact it is in danger!
Although it has been more than 500 years since the founding of Da Qi, corruption in the administration of officials is already a consensus among the government and the public. Judging from the vast territory of Da Qi, its prosperous output, and the large number of people in Da Qi, even if the administration of officials is corrupt, If the imperial court is corrupt, it can be sustained for another hundred years.
Nowadays, the imperial court cannot make ends meet. If we look at the root cause, isn’t it because of these practitioners
The most ridiculous and ironic thing is that Gu Cangping's lifelong wish is for peace in the world, and he hates these practitioners the most, but now he has to lower his head to serve these practitioners!
This is simply the greatest humiliation!
Gu Cangping is naturally very angry! If he couldn't defeat these people, he would have liked to pick up a knife and kill everyone in front of him.
After Gu Cangping watched Li Chengfeng, Zhao Feiyue, Zhao Xiaobao and Han Tianxing jump in line to register, he was still angry with himself. He threw the registration matter to his deputy, whipped his horse whip, and rushed to the Grand Master's Mansion, angrily He rushed into the study of Grand Master Zhang Datong.
Emperor's teacher Zhang Datong was a typical moral scholar. He had four treasures in his study, and the fragrance of ink left a lasting impression. Although he was a highly respected minister, he was extremely simple and elegant. He himself stood as tall as a pine tree, with a strong spirit and simple clothes. He was concentrating. He was painting a picture, and even Gu Cangping rushed in without realizing it.
"Teacher! Have you heard of it?" Gu Cangping waved a newspaper with ink that had not yet dried in his hand. As soon as he rushed in, he shouted angrily, "Teacher! Your Highness the Princess fell to His Highness the Crown Prince. Has your mentor ever heard of this?"
Zhang Datong didn't raise his eyelids, still carefully observing his paintings, and said: "I heard about it."
Gu Cangping said excitedly: "Did my mentor ever hear about the fact that the Lingshan sect turned against the prince?"
Zhang Datong raised his head and said, "I have never heard of this."
Li Chengfeng and Zhao Feiyue were passing by, and he saved the prince on the way. When passing through Tongxian Pass, he clearly rejected the fourth prince. Therefore, in the eyes of the world, he was already on the prince's side, and he was the iron among the irons.
This is politics, and sometimes casual gestures can be interpreted as stances by the world.
Gu Cangping handed the newspaper to Zhang Datong. Zhang Datong took it and took a look, only to see that it described the entire incident in detail, and there was even a detailed introduction by Li Chengfeng in the later section.
Zhang Datong smiled slightly and said: "It's quite interesting..."
"Interesting?" Gu Cangping's eyes widened and he said excitedly, "The prince has always taken it as his own duty to overthrow the spiritual world. We also regard the prince as a banner leader, but the prince is the one who follows the lead. But now, the prince actually wants to have an affair with a monk. Isn't this, isn't it? … Could it be that…”
Gu Cangping was so excited that he said three words in a row, but he couldn't say the next unpleasant words for a while.
Zhang Datong raised his eyes, glanced at Gu Cangping with a half-smile, and said, "Aren't you deceiving yourself? Humiliating yourself? Slapping yourself in the face?"
Gu Cangping turned his head angrily and stopped talking angrily.
Zhang Datong sighed, put down his pen, and said, "Did you know that there was a big disaster in Taiyang? The imperial court needed 50 million taels of silver for disaster relief. How much silver is there in the treasury now?"
Gu Cangping snorted and said, "I'm just a young doctor from the Ministry of Etiquette, not a doctor from the Ministry of Household Affairs. How do I know that?"
Zhang Datong exclaimed, "The national treasury only has less than 20 million taels left!"
"What?!" Gu Cangping was shocked and angry, "How is that possible!"
Zhang Datong sneered: "Because the Qiankun Divine Sect has just withdrawn 150 million taels of silver from the national treasury just to hold the world's best fighting competition!"
Gu Cangping was so furious that he clenched his hands into fists, raised his arms and roared in a low voice: "National thief! National thief! The people are suffering from the disaster and are crying for food, but these monks are still busy fighting and fighting! They neither produce nor pay taxes, they only compete for profits. , disaster relief is behind! In the eyes of only one's own sect, but no common people! A silverfish in the country! A thief in the country!!"
Zhang Datong's expression changed, and he shouted angrily in a low voice: "Silence!"
Only then did Gu Cangping come back to his senses. His face turned blood red, his breathing became rapid, and he said angrily: "Teacher, if this continues, the country will not be a country!!"
Zhang Datong nodded slowly and said: "The monks are powerful, and we can't clear it out without you and me sitting down and talking about it! Especially with the power of the divine religion stationed in Shenjing, it has been deeply rooted for hundreds of years, and has not encountered an opponent for several decades. The current situation can be called a dead end! "
Gu Cangping resolutely gritted his teeth and said: "Even if it's a dead end, I'm willing to use this flesh and blood body to create a glimmer of hope!"
Zhang Datong shook his head, pointed to the Di newspaper in his hand, and said: "No, the way to break the situation now does not lie with you and me, let alone the prince, but with this person!"
Gu Cangping looked where Zhang Datong's finger was pointing, and saw a detailed biography of Li Chengfeng published at the end of the eighth page of Di Bao!
